CHAPTER 17: CHAPTER 17: CHANGHUI ENTERTAINMENT

Although finding excitement in taking advantage of Xie Qingci is not right, Yu Xia believed she had compensated him.

She blew the stop whistle three times, precisely when Xie Qingci successfully snatched from others or when others were about to snatch from him, making Xie Qingci the final winner with this coordination.

At the last whistle, he was gasping heavily and raised all the balloon sticks in his hand high.

The show’s judges declared: "Xie Qingci has seized the most balloon sticks, earning nine points as a reward."

The game ended.

Everyone was exhausted, those standing in the middle just lay on the mats to rest, and those leaning against the railing loosened their grip, preparing to sit down.

Wei Yaoyao exaggeratedly gasped twice, planning to sit down hard, but unexpectedly slipped underfoot and was about to fall towards Shu Ran on the side.

Such a big person falling could squash her into the soapy water, so Shu Ran screamed and kicked with a foot.

This kick changed Wei Yaoyao’s direction, and he fell headfirst, crashing into the back of Xie Qingci’s thigh.

Xie Qingci was knocked back; if he fell back, he could have seriously crushed Wei Yaoyao.

Fortunately, he released the balloon sticks in time, braced with his hands behind, twisted his waist, and twisted 180 degrees to fall to the side.

His long legs bent, hands braced behind him, narrowly avoiding twisting his waist.

Looking up, Wei Yaoyao, who fell at the same time, was kneeling before him, prostrate.

Xie Qingci: "......"

Wei Yaoyao: "...... Happy, Happy New Year?"

Ning Yunchao burst into laughter: "Hahahahahahahahahaha!"

Yu Xia, leaning outside the pool, was laughing so hard her chin hung on the elastic band.

Xie Qingci couldn’t help but chuckle, turning his head to the side and finally laughing out loud.

The first episode of the indoor spinoff ended with laughter.

It was already late at night, and Xie Qingci and the others were covered in soap water, needing to return to the dormitory to wash up quickly.

Shu Ran, Yu Kuang, and He Mingjie were the same, so the program team found them a place to shower and change first.

Only Yu Xia escaped unscathed, waving goodbye to them and leaving by car.

Through the car window, under the dim streetlight, she recognized Xie Qingci’s back of the head, which was a bit more outstanding than the others.

If no one obstructed the view, he would stand out more; his blurred figure with broad shoulders and a narrow waist and long legs was quite charming.

Then, she blatantly stared at his back, knowing no one noticed.

Being soaking wet, the night breeze was blowing; hopefully, he wouldn’t catch a cold.

But probably not; he was young and in good health, often fooling around at night before, soaking wet in the night breeze was a common occurrence, and he never got sick or caught a cold.

"Sis, what are you looking at? Are we leaving?"

Yu Xia withdrew her gaze, coincidentally avoiding Xie Qingci’s perceptive glance.

"Let’s go, let’s make do at that hotel for the night, and head back in the morning."

"Okay."

Back at the hotel, she suddenly remembered something and asked Mei:

"For these trainees, shouldn’t the ones with high popularity start getting endorsements and shooting commercials?"

There were a lot of program sponsors, adhering to the principle of full utilization, after the initial stage, the brands would select some popular ones to shoot commercials.

Mei nodded affirmatively: "They should have started looking for people already; like the nine people tonight are the first batch the brands will look for."

Mei continued, quite happy: "Handsome little brothers should have more resources... just, shooting a lot of endorsements, it will more or less affect performance rehearsal."

The more time spent shooting commercials, the less practice time, leading to poor performance on stage and a subsequent cycle of ridicule.

Yu Xia nodded her chin, recalling that Xie Qingci’s trainee information indicated he was an individual trainee, not yet signed to a company.

She wondered what he was thinking; does he want to debut in the entertainment industry, or is he an outstanding student experiencing the talent show life?

She asked a couple of questions, didn’t dwell on the topic further, removed her makeup, washed up, listening to Mei holding her phone outside, exclaiming.

Once in bed, lights off, it was quiet.

Mei was just dozing off when Yu Xia’s voice rang in the room.

"Mei, which company would be better for an idol to sign with now?"

Mei tried to open her eyes, muttering: "Better? If it’s about better resources and experience with idols, it’s Boundless Entertainment; didn’t Song Xi sign with them?"

Yu Xia frowned: "Not great, heard it’s chaotic inside, they’ll do anything to become famous, washing the artists’ reputation extensively, even calling black white, damaging other artists’ public opinion."

Mei turned over, her voice getting lower: "What other idol companies are there, the rest are small workshops... other good companies haven’t signed idols, only actors..."

"Which ones? Let’s skip our company."

"Ah... the best would be... Changhui Entertainment... Sis, let’s sleep; we have to get up early tomorrow."

Changhui Entertainment.

Yu Xia lay in the darkness, biting her lip corner.

Shu Ran is at Changhui Entertainment, a truly top company backed by Changtong Group, holding just two contracted artists now, Shu Ran, Lin Lian, both became front-line.

Among them, Lin Lian is even called Cheng Zhirang’s successor, with unlimited potential.

But would they sign idols? If Xie Qingci is determined to enter the circle, does he want to follow the flow idol route or transition from idol to actor?

Would Changhui Entertainment even consider Xie Qingci? They’ve signed only two people in so many years, indicating very high signing standards.

Should she help Xie Qingci once? Just to round off their past passionate relationship, she did indeed lead him to bed as soon as he turned eighteen, playing around for half a year, which was indeed unethical.

Maybe ask Xie Qingci when there’s a chance; she’s not the kind to do good deeds without leaving a name.

She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, cleared her mind, and slowly fell asleep.

The next day, Yu Xia went to the company.

He Ci’s office had a new desk, workers took a lot of effort getting it in.

She quietly asked He Ci’s assistant: "Who upset him this time? The desk was smashed?"

Assistant: "... He felt the color wasn’t right, so he got a new one, not smashed."

Yu Xia looked at him with a "you’re not fooling me" gaze.

Just then, the new desk was in place, He Ci tested its quality, banging twice, producing solid "bang" sounds.

Quality was good.

"Yu Xia! You’re driving me mad!"

Yu Xia looked up in confusion: "What did I do now? He, testing a desk doesn’t need such a dramatic statement and desk thumping."

"You dare ask what you did; your clothes say purity and desirelessness, but your eyes flash with desire!"

"... Who am I lusting after?"

The assistant shoved a gossip news page in her face, with a big headline that shocked her cross-eyed.
