After a half-hour observation period for the trainees, Qin Wan and Pei Yue returned to the judges' panel in the filming room.
Just a few minutes after we sat down, the director had the staff come over and inform everyone that the live broadcast was about to begin.
As the music started and the lights came on, the entire exhibition hall instantly became lively.
"Next, please welcome our first group of members."
As the host finished speaking, the lights suddenly shone brightly on the center of the stage.
The platform slowly rose, and six handsome young men dressed in trendy clothes came into view.
"Xiangyang is in the first group?" Qin Wan raised an eyebrow in surprise.
"I didn't care," Pei Yue said indifferently.
Qin Wan: "..." In that sense, she was somewhat incompetent as an agent.
"I thought you had already spoken to the production team," Qin Wan said, slightly embarrassed.
“We definitely made arrangements.” Pei Yue nodded in agreement.
Qin Wan looked at him suspiciously, as if she wanted to know what he had done.
Seeing this, Pei Yue smiled faintly at her, "You'll find out soon enough."
Qin Wan: "..."
It must be said that although Xiangyang has a carefree and unreliable personality, his dancing skills are truly amazing.
Otherwise, given how long the show has been recording and airing, and how seriously he's been slacking off, he wouldn't have been able to advance to the finals.
Online, countless posts criticized Xiang Yang and expressed their disappointment with his lack of ambition, making him the most talked-about figure in the entire talent show.
Of course, there are also some who envy Xiangyang. Although he is really slacking off, his professional skills are also really strong, leaving people speechless with his strength.
Therefore, Xiangyang's reputation online has always been polarized.
Just as Qin Wan was lost in thought, the sun began to shine as the prelude to the dance began.
His tall, slender body was incredibly flexible, and every movement he made was both stylish and powerful.
Not effeminate, nor stiff...
Backflip, kneeling slide, backbend...
The bright, shining sun on the stage deeply attracted the attention of everyone present, making it impossible to look away.
"If he had even half the temperament of Lu Zhao, he would have been famous long ago," Qin Wan sighed.
Upon hearing this, Pei Yue glanced at her indifferently, "You like Xiang Yang?"
"What?" Qin Wan was taken aback.
Pei Yue stared at her for several seconds before saying calmly, "It's nothing."
But only for a second, he turned to Qin Wan and asked, "You admire Xiang Yang's professional skills and like Lu Zhao's personality?"
Qin Wan: "..."
“Pei Yue, they are all my artists. I’m just analyzing their strengths and weaknesses so I can tailor them to their individual characteristics.”
"You know, this studio is the key to my succession of the Qin family business."
Pei Yue squinted at Qin Wan for a while before looking away, lowering his eyes to hide the fleeting glint of light in them.
“You have two choices, don’t you?” Pei Yue said softly.
“That’s different,” Qin Wan shook her head.
"I know that marriage is the fastest and most effective way, but I am unwilling to rely on others."
“I have ambition and ability, Pei Yue. You are the one I created.”
"Of course, your own excellent conditions and abilities are also one of the keys to my success."
"So, I want to try Lu Zhao and Xiang Yang."
"One is a spoiled young master who is unaware of the hardships of life and cannot learn to bow down."
"One of them was a poor boy who had been abandoned and exploited by his parents. He was humble, polite, and eager to learn. I wanted to change their fate."
"And through them, I can prove my abilities."
Upon hearing this, Pei Yue stared at her for a long while, but ultimately said nothing more.
As long as she's happy.
He could accept anything except for his feelings for Lu Zhao and Xiang Yang.
Thinking of this, Pei Yue picked up the thermos cup beside him, opened it, and handed it to Qin Wan.
"Your stomach isn't good, drink some warm water."
Qin Wan glanced hesitantly at the live-streaming camera behind her.
"If I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?" Pei Yue frowned slightly, staring at her with a hint of displeasure in his eyes.
"It's not that I'm afraid, it's that I'm afraid it will have a bad impact on you."
"This program is, after all, a live broadcast, and if fans see it, it will inevitably have a negative impact on you."
"I don't care." Pei Yue stared intently at her.
"..." Since Pei Yue had said so, Qin Wan naturally stopped hesitating and took the thermos cup, taking small sips of the drink.
Seeing this, Pei Yue's thin lips curved slightly, and a faint smile flashed in his eyes.
So good.
"Did you check your phone?" Pei Yue reminded him.
Upon hearing this, Qin Wan was taken aback. "I didn't notice? What's wrong?"
Qin Wan asked the question while taking out her phone to check it.
"Email," Pei Yue reminded him.
"Zhao Chengfei is the illegitimate son of the Xiang family?" Qin Wan's pupils contracted after seeing the contents of the email.
“That’s not the point,” Pei Yue added.
Qin Wan frowned slightly, staring at Pei Yue with a questioning look in her eyes. "You looked at my phone?"
"No." Pei Yue glanced at her indifferently and said expressionlessly.
"Then how did you know about this?"
“The detective agency you contacted is mine,” Pei Yue said calmly.
Qin Wan: "..."
"As the boss, they will send me everything, especially anything related to you, first, and only after I approve it will they send it to you."
"..." Qin Wan pinched her brow, feeling a headache coming on.
"Keep watching, there's more to come," Pei Yue reminded him.
Qin Wan was skeptical, and tentatively reached down with her fingertips.
After reading the latter part of the email, Qin Wan fell into a long, long silence…
"Wake up, Xiangyang's feelings for you aren't innocent."
"And Lu Zhao..."
"Qin Wan, you'd better not trust anyone but me."
"..."
Seeing Qin Wan remain silent, Pei Yue thought for a moment, then pulled out a peach-flavored candy from somewhere and handed it to her.
"Eat something sweet to lift your spirits."
Qin Wan looked at him with complicated emotions, and at the candy lying in his palm.
"Want me to peel it for you?" Pei Yue raised an eyebrow and, before Qin Wan could refuse, he peeled it and fed it to her.
Qin Wan froze, her pupils contracting.
Pei Yue remained calm. Seeing that she didn't react for a long time, he raised an eyebrow and looked at her with a smile.
"The camera is pointed at the two of us the whole time, are you sure you don't want to give us any face?"
"After all, I'm the most promising artist under your management..."
Before Pei Yue could finish speaking, Qin Wan hurriedly opened her mouth and swallowed the candy between his fingers.
Seeing this, Pei Yue's eyebrows curved into a smile, and a faint look of pleasure appeared in his eyes.
"I know Lu Zhao's selfish motives, but they are within my acceptable range."
"Everyone has selfish desires, I can understand that, as long as they don't cross my bottom line."
But Xiangyang's reason for approaching her did indeed leave her with mixed feelings...
"It's not too late to regret it now."
"After this trainee talent show ends, there will definitely be no one in the industry who wants to sign Xiang Yang."
"Even if it's black and red, it's still red."
"Let me think about it."
Qin Wan pinched the bridge of her nose, glanced at her phone screen one last time, and looked at the girl in the photo—a girl with delicate features but a slightly immature appearance—became silent for a long time.
