Chapter 55: I’m Not Thinking About Jin Si

Translator: CTCTRANS Editor: CTCTRANS

After a moment of pause, Qi Wu coldly continued, “Besides, I’m not thinking about Jin Si.”

Priestesses were cold-hearted and adhered strictly to destiny.

Even though Qi Wu was no longer a priestess, her personality could not be changed that easily.

She might feel compassion, but she did not know love.

Chang Xun naturally heard the seriousness in Qi Wu’s tone. He mistakenly thought that Qi Wu had finally thought things through, so he nodded in relief.

“You should have been like this a long time ago. If there’s nothing else, let’s take it slow. Remember, your career is the right priority!”

“…Okay.”

Qi Wu did not correct his assumption.

Chang Xun told her a few more things of not before finally declaring, “I’ll go and reject L&P’s invitation first. After all, you’re still an amateur. Let’s talk about it after you get through the show.”

If Qi Wu could not even make her debut, how could she be a brand ambassador for L&P? Chang Xun would not put Qi Wu through that mess.

“Alright.”

After the call ended, Chang Xun called Mr. Xu.

As a veteran talent manager in the entertainment industry with a knack for networking, Chang Xun naturally had Mr. Xu’s contact information.

“Mr. Chang, what has brought you to me?”

Mr. Xu was audibly surprised over the phone.

Chang Xun smiled. “Mr. Xu, you’re so funny. I just wanted to tell you that Qi Wu is my talent.”

“Oh? What a coincidence.

Mr. Xu’s surprise did not seem fake. He soon laughed. “Looks like your eye for talent is as sharp as ever. You’ve found another promising talent.”

“Haha!”

Chang Xun was obviously pleased with this compliment, especially since Qi Wu was much easier to work with than Jin Si. She was obedient and cooperative. Who would hate her?

“I’m calling to let you know that she’s not ready to accept your offer at the moment. Her career will only begin after the end of ‘Rookie Assembly.'”

Mr. Xu quickly understood the purpose of Chang Xun’s call.

He thought for a moment and said, “We’re old friends. I believe Qi Wu is a great candidate. After she debuts, I’m willing to offer her another chance to consider our invitation. What do you think?”

Chang Xun paused. “Mr. Xu, have you been possessed? Why are you suddenly so accommodating?”

He could not resist asking that.

After all, L&P did not get to where it was by being nice.

On the contrary, they were very strict when it came to operation protocols and public relations. Any slightest possibility of damage to the brand had to be nipped in the bud.

“Hahaha. Well, I’m not going to keep it a secret, but when I presented the proposal to the board of directors, they unanimously approved it. Also…l genuinely want to see you flex your skills.”

Mr. Xu laughed instead of getting angry upon being questioned.

It was clear he had high hopes for Qi Wu’s future career.

Chang Xun raised his eyebrows, quite pleased with Mr. Xu’s words.

“Since you’ve put it that way, it would be impolite of me to refuse.”

With this matter settled, Chang Xun could not contain his excitement and immediately called Jin Si.

Ever since he had a new talent to manage, Chang Xun had become less willing to tolerate Jin Sit s behavior.

After all, every time Jin Si took a break, it would last 3 months or more!

Jin Si ended the call abruptly just three seconds after Chang Xun called. Chang Xun stood there and cursed Jin Si out for three minutes straight.

It was Qi Wu’s last class.

When Qin Jiayan walked into the classroom and saw her sitting in the last row by the window, lazily propping her chin up with one hand as she gazed out the window, he subconsciously wanted to move closer to her.

However, as soon as he started moving, Qin Jiayan stopped.

He looked down at his clean but obviously old shoes and pursed his lips.

How could someone like him be worthy of approaching a star like her?

Just as Qin Jiayan was about to turn and leave, Qi Wu’s indifferent voice called out to him, “Where are you going?”

Qin Jiayan looked up in surprise.

Turning around, he saw Qi Wu, who had been lost in thought a while ago, had turned to look at him with calm eyes.

The morning light cast a gentle glow on her, accentuating her beauty, and draping over her in a pale golden chiffon shawl.

Qin Jiayan suddenly snapped out of his thoughts, but he did not know how to respond. “I…”

His ears turned red, and he awkwardly lowered his head.

“Class is about to start.”

The faint urging tone in her voice prompted Qin Jiayan to push past his awkwardness to sit down beside Qi Wu.

Qi Wu’s presence was overpowering, and Qin Jiayan, who lacked social experience, did not know how to handle it.

In the end, he clumsily started, “Why did you choose Mr. Shen’s class?”

“Because he has the fewest classes.

Qin Jiayan was taken aback by her unexpected answer. He was so shocked that he blurted out what he was thinking, “Me too.”

Pfft!

Qi Wu chuckled softly, which took Qin Jiayan by surprise.

Her eyelashes seemed dusted with gold, making her look even more enchanting when she smiled.

For some reason, Qin Jiayan felt more at ease after seeing Qi Wu’s smile.

“We seem to think the same,” he commented softly.

If it weren’t for his family pressuring him, Qin Jiayan would not have participated in this contest.

When he was at his wit’s end, he stumbled upon this reality show. With hopes of being paid, Qin Jiayan abandoned his original dream and applied to the show.

He knew he lacked talent, so his only goal was to work hard so that he was not a burden to his team. With that in mind, Qin Jiayan could not help but glance at

However, her teammate was so strong that he did not seem weak even if he was a burden.

As Shen Xi’s final class ended, he made a brief closing statement.

“Thank you for your trust and cooperation during this period. I wish you all the best in the upcoming competition.”

He continued, “We have received notice from the production team that tomorrow at 7.00 p.m. we will be broadcasting live. You will be appearing with your current partner on Chaoyang TV’s streaming platform for two hours. After the stream ends, you will gain different points based on your popularity rankings.”

Everyone was shocked.

They all started whispering to each other about it.

“This is so sudden. It’s a popularity contest…l definitely won’t stand a chance,” someone said.

“This favors the celebrity contestants. For amateurs like us, it’s…”

“Sometimes, luck is also part of our talents.”

Just then, a contestant raised their hand.

“Mr. Shen, are there any rules for the content of the live stream?”

Shen Xi shook his head. “You just need to abide by the platform’s rules and regulations..”
