Chapter 6 Chapter 6

“Achoo!”

Meng Yuansheng sneezed loudly.

Gu Xing shi immediately became worried: “Are you alright?”

After passing the interview, Meng Yuansheng practiced dancing almost frantically, and Cheng Xin also followed suit.

Several times when Gu Xing shi came in the morning, Meng Yuansheng was already in the dance studio. Upon inquiry, he found out that he hadn’t gone home at night, only sleeping a few hours in the dance studio.

Yet he looked energetic, not at all like someone who had pulled an all-nighter.

Gu Xing shi hoped for their debut, but he didn’t want him to overwork himself and ruin his health.

Unexpectedly, Meng Yuansheng smiled indifferently: “Before, Jiang Mo’s schedule was very busy, and I followed him. Sometimes, when we were busy, we only slept a few hours every two or three days, I’m used to it.”

Gu Xing shi: “…!”

So scary!!

However, Meng Yuansheng’s hard work paid off.

His coordination with Cheng Xin became increasingly tacit, their dance was exhilarating, even Gu Xing shi, an outsider, could see their extraordinary talent.

At this time, it was time to leave for the recording.

The recording location was in Dunhai City, and it would be a closed-door recording.

Dunhai City is a newly developed tourist city in recent years, with a unique landscape.

As soon as Gu Xing shi got off the plane, he could feel the scenery distinctly different from that of Jing City.

The airport was crowded, and there were many fans with SLR cameras, flowers, and support items at the exit.

I don’t know which star they were picking up.

But the three of them didn’t care much.

Meng Yuansheng had met many stars before following Jiang Mo, he was already disillusioned.

Cheng Xin had such a personality, he seemed not very interested in anything.

As for Gu Xing shi, it was even simpler. He knew little about the entertainment industry, even if a star stood in front of him, he probably wouldn’t recognize them.

Bai Ran is a fansite administrator for singer Shen Yu.

Shen Yu is one of the new mentors of this year’s “Boy Group Training Camp”.

However, the plane was delayed, and they waited until now, but the person still hadn’t arrived.

Bai Ran was a little listless and looked around. She happened to see Gu Xing shi and the other two walking over, and her eyes lit up immediately.

The boy on the far right had a slender waist, long legs, and fair skin. Although he wasn’t wearing makeup, Bai Ran, with her years of experience as a fansite administrator, guaranteed that this was definitely a god-level face under the camera!

The mono-lid cool guy on the left was completely different from him. With a crew cut and wheat-colored skin, he had a decadent yet intimidating aura, making him stand out instantly in the crowd.

The young man in the middle was slightly shorter than them, with clear eyebrows and eyes, and a pleasant smile.

Especially those innocent puppy eyes, made Bai Ran’s motherly heart overflow.

The three had different styles, yet they were unexpectedly harmonious.

Extremely eye-catching.

Bai Ran subconsciously picked up her SLR camera and started taking pictures of the three.

Meng Yuansheng had been an assistant for many years, and he was very sensitive to flashlights. He quickly discovered Bai Ran in the crowd.

Bai Ran, seeing that she had been discovered, didn’t panic. She simply put down her camera and ran to the three.

“Are you trainees participating in the “Boy Group Training Camp?”

Gu Xing shi readily nodded.

Bai Ran, seeing that she had guessed correctly, became even happier: “You’re so handsome, I will definitely vote for you guys!”

Meng Yuansheng and Cheng Xin were pleasantly surprised.

They didn’t expect to gain fans before the recording even started.

Gu Xing shi was also happy, showing a bright smile: “Thank you, sister.”

Bai Ran saw his eyes curving, a cute and positive attack, her heart almost melted, she couldn’t help but want to pinch his cheeks.

But her strong professional qualities still made her hold back. She took out an autograph book from her bag: “What are your names? Can you sign for me?”

The two naturally agreed.

After they finished signing, they handed it back to Bai Ran.

But Bai Ran didn’t take it, she just looked at Gu Xing shi in confusion: “Little brother, you haven’t signed yet?”

Gu Xing shi was even more confused: “Ah? Does the manager also need to sign?”

Bai Ran: “!!!”

Say it again, what are you?!

-

After leaving the airport, there were staff members to pick them up to the recording location.

The initial stage performance would be recorded tonight. Many trainees had already arrived, some were practicing, and some were socializing.

Among them, the trainees from several large companies were naturally the center of attention.

And the topic they were discussing was Jinyou Entertainment, which had its trainee spots snatched.

“Didn’t they say that Jinyou and Xingyao have a good relationship? Their spots were actually snatched?”

“Le Shi? Which company is that? I’ve never heard of it!”

“Jinyou had its spots snatched, it definitely won’t let it go, and Jiang Mo is one of the mentors, there will be a good show then!”

The trainees present all showed gloating expressions.

Jinyou Entertainment’s trainees are strong, they didn’t want to face them. Now it’s good, with Le Shi attracting fire, they just need to watch the tiger fight from the mountain.

However, Le Shi Entertainment was too low-key, and there was no information about their trainees at all.

Gu Xing shi and the other two walked in at this time.

Meng Yuansheng and Cheng Xin had already done their hair and makeup, and changed into the clothes for tonight’s recording, with stickers with their names and company names on them.

Almost the moment they appeared, everyone turned their heads to stare at the three of them.

Meng Yuansheng asked Gu Xing shi uncomfortably: “Why are they looking at us like that?”

Gu Xing shi was extremely calm: “They probably think the takeaway has arrived.”

Meng Yuansheng: “Ah?”

Are you serious???

At this time, a trainee walked over, arrogantly sizing up the three of them, and finally picked Gu Xing shi, who looked the easiest to bully: “Hey! Assistants are not allowed here, get out!”

Meng Yuansheng and Cheng Xin both frowned, ready to speak for Gu Xing shi.

But Gu Xing shi’s eyes widened instantly, as if talking to himself: “What! He actually lied about his age! He’s actually 29!!”

The scene was instantly silent.

Everyone looked at the trainee incredulously.

He had a cute baby face, and when he introduced himself, he kept saying that he was just 20, but he was actually almost 30!

The trainee’s face instantly changed: “You…what are you talking about!!”

But Gu Xing shi didn’t pay any attention to him, still muttering to himself: “He’s also been married!! And he abandoned his ex-wife!!”

Everyone: “!!!”

The trainee was shocked. He had hidden his marriage very well, even the company didn’t know, how did the person from Le Shi know?!

Afraid that Gu Xing shi would reveal more about him, he didn’t dare to trouble them anymore, and slipped away.

Gu Xing shi, satisfied with the gossip, came back to his senses and realized that the scene was extremely quiet.

Everyone looked at him strangely.

Gu Xing shi scratched his head in confusion: “What just happened?”

Everyone: “…”

What happened, aren’t you the one who knows best!

You’ve exposed someone’s secrets, but now you’re pretending to be crazy and stupid!

Such deep scheming!

Meng Yuansheng was amazed.

He had encountered such things before.

On the surface, they seemed amiable, but in private, it was a struggle for survival.

If they had shown weakness just now, they would definitely be bullied during the recording, but if they had been too strong, many people would have teamed up to eliminate them early.

It was very difficult to grasp the balance, to make people intimidated but not dare to act rashly.

Gu Xing shi’s performance just now was just right.

More importantly, he shouldn’t have suffered such humiliation.

The manager’s area wasn’t here, he must have anticipated this situation, so he came with them to shield them from this test.

Moreover, Gu Xing shi had done so much for them, far exceeding the scope of a boss or manager, yet he didn’t reveal a single word, not letting them feel any psychological burden.

Meng Yuansheng had never been protected so thoughtfully before, it was like a warm current flowing through his heart, yet it made his nose sour.

He hid his gratitude deeply in his heart and solemnly said to Gu Xing shi: “Thank you.”

Gu Xing shi: “??? ”

Thank you for what?

What just happened?

But after Meng Yuansheng finished speaking, he took them to their seats.

Gu Xing shi quickly forgot about these things.

After the three sat down, four or five trainees came to greet them.

Meng Yuansheng interacted with people skillfully. When he turned his head, he found Gu Xing shi frowning, and quickly asked: “Manager Gu, is there anything wrong?”

Gu Xing shi coughed lightly: “The trainee in white just now, stay away from him. He participated in another talent show before, he is best at creating ambiguous CPs to gain popularity. And that one with yellow hair, he has a lot of scandals, and…”

Meng Yuansheng and Cheng Xin were increasingly shocked.

Even Cheng Xin, who didn’t talk much, couldn’t help but say: “Among all the people here, isn’t there a single good person?”

Gu Xing shi: “…”

That’s a bit harsh, even you are included?!

But he was also speechless, he never expected that these unknown trainees would have so much gossip!

Thinking of this, he said to the two of them again: “xx, xxx… you can make friends with these few people.”

Meng Yuansheng was surprised: “Are they very capable?”

Gu Xing shi: “…”

Not really, it’s just that among all the trainees, only these few don’t have any gossip.

Just as Gu Xing shi was struggling to explain, Jinyou’s four trainees arrived, and Jiang Mo, as a mentor, was also among them.

Although Jiang Mo was only wearing casual clothes, his star aura was very attractive.

Many trainees were his fans, and many of them ran to ask him for autographs, causing a commotion.

And Jiang Mo was very patient and approachable towards them.

He quickly won over the trainees.

“Mentor Jiang is so nice!”

“Before, there were rumors that Mentor Jiang was arrogant and harsh to the staff, I think it’s all rumors…”

Jiang Mo had a warm smile on his face, signing autographs and taking photos one by one.

Until his gaze inadvertently fell on the three from Le Shi, the smile on his face instantly froze: “Sheng…Meng Yuansheng, what are you doing here?!”

Meng Yuansheng heard the familiar voice and froze.

These days, he had known that one of the mentors was Jiang Mo, and he knew that he would eventually face him.

Originally, he thought he would be very painful and desperate, but when it actually came to this moment, he was unexpectedly calm.

He looked at Gu Xing shi and Cheng Xin who were worried beside him, and his heart was filled with courage.

He stood up, neither humble nor arrogant: “It’s me.”

The people present were stunned.

Jiang Mo actually knew Le Shi’s trainee?

What’s going on?

A clash between former colleagues?

Jiang Mo didn’t expect Meng Yuansheng to be here, no wonder he couldn’t find him.

But how could he become a trainee of Le Shi?!

And participate in the “Boy Group Training Camp”?!

Looking at Meng Yuansheng’s cold expression, Jiang Mo felt a surge of anger from being betrayed.

And among this, there seemed to be a trace of panic that he himself didn’t want to admit.

“You, an assistant, haven’t trained for a single day, participating in the talent show, aren’t you just playing around?”

Assistant?!

The scene was instantly in an uproar.

Jiang Mo felt triumphant, and continued: “You’ve worked at Jinyou for many years, I don’t know what benefits they promised you to make you make this choice, but as long as you are willing to come back, I can let bygones be bygones.”

This statement was packed with information.

It almost implied that Meng Yuansheng had sold Jinyou’s secrets in exchange for a spot in the “Boy Group Training Camp”.

Meng Yuansheng’s body trembled slightly.

He clenched his fist, his nails almost piercing his flesh.

At this time, he felt a warmth on the back of his hand.

Gu Xing shi held his hand and patted it lightly.

Then, he stood up and said to Jiang Mo: “You said my artist worked for your company?”

“Do you have an employment contract? Do you have monthly salary records? Do you have social security?”

Jiang Mo’s expression instantly froze.
