Chapter 4. Showbiz (2)

"Song Xue, go to the president office"

"Hah, whh....what happened?"

"I don't know"

Song Xue mind went complete blank when the trainer said her to go the president's office.

She was 27 this year and is in this company for 5 years. Her dream is to become a singer that everyone recognize whenever she went.

She wanted to be appreciated by the people. She herself knew that her talent was mediocre at best but she didn't want to give up. She want to continue her dream.

She knows she was little too old to be still a trainee but she didn't want to give up. She had seen many people giving up on their dreams because of talent, age and love but she had still hold on.

She had seen her friends leaving the company because they were still trainees for many years but she hold on.

She knows the best that it is only a minimum chance she will be able to become a singer but she had holded on for that minimum chance.

When she heard from the trainer that she was called to the president office. She was afraid that she will have to give up her dream to become a singer.

She clearly knows the situation of the company. The company was in loss for some time and at the time of crisis even if the company decided to fired her, she can do nothing.

She knows that if she was fired, then her only choice is to get married to someone in her village like her parents wanted, no company would want her.

That was her thoughts when she entered the president room.

When she entered the room, she was surprised that there were more people than she thought.

She can identify the president and his son but she didn't know the other two people.

One was a very beautiful woman with a cold look on her face. She had a hint of maturity to her and her cold face prevents people from approaching her and the person sitting beside her was young.

He was the most handsome man she had seen. He was even more handsome than some top celebrities. He was about 16-17 years old and had a smile on his face. His smile can easily make the girls heart throb.

When he saw me entered, he smiled at me and said.

"Have a seat. Would you like coffee?"

"No.no..I..I am fine"

She didn't who he was but he was sitting with the president, so she was sure he was someone important and she also can't sit in front of the president as for her a trainee, he was high like a sky. She was frozen stiff in a formal pose.

Watching her, the young man smiled and said.

"Hello, Ms. Song Xue my name is Xin Ren, the new vice president of the company"

She was astonished to hear that he was the new vice president of the company at such a young age.

For confirmation she looked at the president but his face was calm so it was probably true.

She unconsciously gulped, various thoughts were occurring in her mind. She had never stand before the top management of the company, so she was very nervous and anxious to what's going to happen to her.

"Song Xue. Dance: C, Singing: B, Star Quality: C. Overall evaluation: C+. This is your assessment from last time."

"..."

She drooped her head. That evaluation was a source of fear for the trainees. At least A would be needed if she dreamed of being a singer, and only a tiny portion of those people who got it will be able to debut. But to think it was C+….... and her age was 27. Singers her age were already famous. When she thought about this point, she could only lower her head.

However.

*Rii–iip*

Ren suddenly ripped the evaluation paper in half.

"Ah…!!"

What does this mean?

Song Xue was surprised, and she abruptly raised her head. Even the president was surprised by it and his son's mouth was wide open.

"This kind of evaluation didn't fit you"

Her face was of a complete shock when Ren rip off the paper and said that the evaluation didn't fit her.

"Dance: C – Dance needs a little more effort. Singing: B – This isn't anything great either. However, Star Quality: C. This was difficult to approve."

"Star… Quality?"

Song Xue tilted her head since she still didn't understand what was going on. A trainee would hear this quite frequently, but star quality was something hard to describe. Including outer appearance, it was the result of fusing several complex factors. Thanks to that, it was quite a controversial factor since a lot of it would be subjective. There were a lot of cases where trainees who had excellent capabilities but weren't allowed to debut due to low ratings in star quality, or where even if they did debut, they didn't become big due to low star quality. It was the most difficult point to evaluate, and it was hard to talk about it.

However, Ren brought up that star quality. He said she had that quality.

She was confused.

"I have star quality.....?"

"You do."

"May I ask what regard I have star quality to?"

She wanted to know that, till now she had been rejected because her star quality is low. Many times she was rejected saying that she will not be able to handle the audience or will get easily nervous or how she will not be able to stand people criticism. So, she wanted to know why he said that her star quality is high"

"First, uncommon parts will attract people"

She didn't understand and tilted her head, so he elaborated.

"You are 27 years old right?"

She nodded and he said.

"Do you know the average age of singers currently debuting, it is 20 years and most of the singers debuting are in girl groups. Solo singers are often male and solo female singer are often parts of a girl group before going solo"

"So, you are uncommon in the industry and the second thing is your determination"

"You are 27 but hadn't given up your dream, it shows that you have enough willpower and determination to succeed"

"And you also have a image of a pretty older women next door which every teenage boy had a crush on"

"Nowadays boys in puberty tend to have a crush on a older woman"

She don't why but she giggled when she heard his words and her words had also sprouted a sort of expectations in her heart.

With courage she asked.

"Then the reason....you called.....me here is…...."

"Oh, I called you to ask you if you wanted to debut as a solo female singer. Do you want to sign a contract"

She closed her eyes. A contract…

To think she was called here for a contract, she couldn't believe it, she had never thought that one day she will be asked that. She was preparing for the worst but when it came out so well, tears welled up in her eyes.

"Crying?"

"N, no. It's just…"

"You don't have to worry about it. It will just be the beginning"

Ren held out a tissue. At the unexpected delight, Song Xue, who overflowed with emotions, seemed embarrassed as she turned her head to wipe her tears. Only then could she smile and sit comfortably.

When he sat down, Ren gave her the contract he had prepared beforehand.

"You should read the contract before signing it. You could also take legal advice if you want"

She nodded and after reading it, she immediately signed it.

After she signed the contract, tears uncontrollably started following in her eyes.

Watching this Ren smiled and said.

"It seems like Ms. Song Xue like to cry a lot"

"No,no vice...president...it..it just that I am very happy today"

"Well, first you should stop calling me Vice president, I am very much younger than you"

"No,no how could I"

"It's okay, you could just called me Ren "

She nodded and smiled.

REN POV

After talking with Song Xue and singing the contract, he immediately went home to relax.

He also wanted to sign a contract with Xia Nan but she was on vacation with her family, so he could only wait for her to come back.

'Come to think of it many students will be on vacations'

Schools were closed till next week and the new term will start next week. So he had a week before he will see the mc and other characters.

While laying on his soft sofa, he was feeling relaxed. He hadn't feel this kind of feeling when he was a still a part time worker living in a small one room apartment.

Now, he have hundreds of millions and can fly in private planes.

'Life can change unexpectedly'

As he was laying on the sofa, few hours passed by.

'I am getting hungry'

As he was thinking of ordering take out, the doorbell rang.

'Ding'

When he opened the door, Ran jing was standing there in a pretty black dress.

Seeing her appearance, he couldn't help ask.

"Are you going on a date?"

As the words left his mouth, he noticed that he had made a big mistake as Ran jing cold eyes became even more cold and sweat started running through his back.

With a frown she asked.

"Did you forget that we will be having dinner at Mr. Lin's house?"

"Ah...I, I...."

As he was just shuttering, her eyes became more cold and she said with a frown.

"Go get ready, quickly"

As the words leave her mouth, he immediately went in his room to change his clothes.

He come out of his room wearing a white t-shirt underneath a yellow jacket with black jeans.

A good advantage of being handsome is that you don't have to worry much about appearance. Handsome people always looks good no matter what they wear.

He had completely forgotten that he had to go have dinner at his father's friend house today. His father's friend name is Lin Rui, he was the head of the Lin family and also the father of one of the heroines. He is a protective dad who wants the best for his daughter.

In the novel, he tried to set up his daughter and Ren together but his daughter didn't like Ren as she was interested in the mc.

Lin Rui at first create problems for the mc because he didn't want mc to get close to his daughter but later gives up when he saw that his daughter is genuinely in love with him.

Overall, he is a protective father who wants the best for his daughter.

Ren was slightly nervous because he will be meeting a heroine today.

'Well, let's try to make a good impression at least'
