Chapter 43: What more can a man ask for when he has such a friend?
Long silence.
Wei Shaoyin's face was always cold, and she slowly drank the Mandheling coffee in her hand. When he slapped the table in anger, half a cup of coffee spilled out, spilling all over the plate and table. But as a germaphobe as he was, he didn't even notice.
Xia Ling didn’t speak either, her heart sinking little by little.
Tan Ying's words just now, although cold and ruthless, were all about the company, making it impossible to argue with. Wei Shaoyin is also a senior member of the company and a dedicated person. She does not think that their friendship is good enough for him to harm the company's interests for her. What's more, as Tan Ying said, Wei Shaoyin can't make the decision regarding the training camp.
While thinking wildly, Wei Shaoyin spoke.
“Xiao Ling,” he looked at her, “are you unwilling to go to the Emperor just because Pei Ziheng wants you?”
She gave a muffled "hmm" sound.
“How determined are you?”
“Even if I die, I will not become his plaything.” She lowered her head and looked at the intricate and interlaced patterns on the coffee table.
Wei Shaoyin fell silent again, drinking coffee one sip after another.
Xia Ling took a deep breath: "Mr. Wei, I'm sorry, it was me who made things difficult for you. Regarding this matter..."
“How much money do you still owe the company?” Wei Shaoyin interrupted her.
She was startled for a moment.
“Also, go look at the trainee contract and tell me how much the liquidated damages are.” Wei Shaoyin put down the coffee cup in her hand and made a decision, “Give me the total amount and I will pay for it for you.”
Xia Ling couldn’t believe it. Wei Shaoyin was trying to help her escape from Tianyi?
His nose is a little sour. He is not a big boss like Pei Ziheng or Li Lei. Even if he has money, it is limited. What's more, trainees' liquidated damages have always been sky-high. However, he was willing to spend so much for her, how could she not be moved.
“Why do you want to help me?” she asked softly.
"There are not many people in this world who can impress me, and you happen to be one of them." Wei Shaoyin said, but a trace of apology appeared on her usually arrogant and critical face, "But Tan Ying is right, I should do it for you." Tianyi considers that it is not worth letting Tianyi fight against the Emperor for this matter. Therefore, I can only help you get rid of Tianyi in my own name.
"But you have to think carefully, Xiao Ling. Once you do this, your future will be very difficult. No company is willing to take in a trainee who broke his promise and was embarrassed by the emperor. Most likely, you will Leave the entertainment industry forever.”
“Awei, I don’t care.” She looked at him and said seriously.
Finally I am willing to call him "Awei". In this life, Xia Ling once said that she no longer needs any friends, but his help in such a timely manner made her unable to help but let go of her guard and blurt out.
She raised her head: "Awei, I don't care at all whether I can stay in the entertainment industry. However, I don't want to rely on other people's funding to escape in despair. Even if I want to leave, I will wait until the day when it is fair and square, not now."
Wei Shaoyin looked at her carefully and then smiled: "Sooner or later, your arrogance will kill you."
“You’ve already killed me once.” She said lightly.
He only thought she was joking and tapped the table with his long fingers. This was his unique habit when thinking. After a long time, he said: "Xiao Ling, I've thought about it a lot, and this is the only way. If you want to get rid of Pei Ziheng, you can only use this method and risk leaving the entertainment industry."
She was silent. Actually, there was another way, but she didn’t know if it would be too shocking.
But right now, I don’t care about that much.
"Tan Ying gave up on me because my value was not enough for Tianyi to take too much risk to protect it." Xia Ling thought about it and said to Wei Shaoyin, "But what if I have greater value? Yuan Much higher than the value of those two emperor trainees? "
"In that case, Tianyi will choose to protect you." Wei Shaoyin said without hesitation, but then frowned at her, "Those two trainees already have first-tier potential, you are more valuable than them, unless they are …”
“I will prove to the company that I have the potential to be a diva.”
A certain advanced shooting range.
Li Lei drew a large hardwood bow, filled the string, and shot the arrow, hitting the target. Several handsome young men and female companions around him cheered loudly: "Young Master Li is Young Master Li. His archery skills are always on target, which is admirable."
Li Lei smiled, casually took the towel handed by his female companion and wiped his face. When he heard his cell phone ringing, he took a few steps to pick it up.
"Hello, Tan Ying?" His voice was low and melodious, "What, you said Ye Xingling wants to prove to the company that she has the potential to be a queen?"
On the other end of the phone, Tan Ying apologized to Li Lei: "I'm sorry, BOSS, I originally planned to drive her to a dead end so that she would have to ask you for help, but I didn't expect that she would play this trick..." In fact, as early as Tan When Ying went to Li Lei's apartment to pick someone up, Li Lei had told him to report anything about this girl at any time.
As soon as Chu Chen came to ask for someone, Tan Ying reported to Li Lei. It was Li Lei who ordered him to follow the company's normal procedures and scare Ye Xingling so that she had no choice but to beg Li Lei...
Unexpectedly, such a mistake would occur.
"What should we do, BOSS?" Tan Ying hurriedly added, "Or, should I judge her as mediocre and unreasonable? How can the potential of a queen be so easy to prove? When I block her back, she still has to beg you..."
Li Lei chuckled softly: "You are right, the potential of a diva is not so easy to prove." He tilted his head slightly while talking on the phone, and under the clear sunshine of the winter afternoon, a pair of deep eyes shone brightly, "I am very curious. Where did she get the confidence to come up with such a proof...Tan Ying, please just follow the normal process and don't make any mistakes. I'm looking forward to it..."
Tianyi Office.
Tan Ying hung up the phone, thought for a while, and pressed an internal line: "Prepare the venue and organize a public review meeting."
The judging meeting will be held three days later in the small performance hall of Tianyi Training Camp. Tan Ying ordered that if Xia Ling can conquer the judging panel with her singing on the spot, then she will stay in Tianyi, otherwise, she will go to Emperor.
The news spread, and the entire training camp was in an uproar.
Wei Shaoyin was very worried and scolded Xia Ling for being crazy. How many years did it take for a queen to be born? How can she be confident?
Xia Ling knew that he was worried about her, so she just smiled and let him watch. For others, this may be difficult, but for her it is very simple - she has once reached the height of the Queen of Heaven, stood at the top and overlooked all living beings, and deeply understands what kind of state it is, and how to climb it. Now, it is nothing more than retracing the path that has been conquered.
Wei Shaoyin still finds it incredible.
"However," he said arrogantly, "Haikou is yours to praise. If you can't do it, you will be the only one to be embarrassed." Even so, he thoughtfully pointed out many things in her voice that needed attention.
Xia Ling was moved in her heart. What more could she ask for when she has such a friend?
