Chapter 43: He Was, in Fact, Mad With Jealousy!
Translator: CTCTRANS Editor: CTCTRANS
Just who was Jin Si?
Qi Wu pondered as she walked.
It was extremely rare for someone to be born under the king star. The chances were one in a million.
However, Qi Wu has encountered two so far.
One of them was extremely ambitious and had committed many crimes while the other was noble, cold, and reserved.
Could they be the same person?
When Qi Wu and Tong Luo arrived at the lecture hall, many contestants were already inside and seated.
Jiang Xuxu had reserved seats for them. As a slacker, she intentionally went for
the last row.
“Hurry over. I got up really early to grab us these seats!”
Tong Luo pulled Qi Wu over before turning to Jiang Xuxu and helplessly asked, “Did you know that the other two mentors are coming today?”
“I do. ‘
Jiang Xuxu had answered promptly as she did not realize what was happening.
“Song Qi is one of the mentors, so anyone who is also a mentor will be someone high up in the industry. How much can we even learn by sitting in the back? We might not be able to even get into their classes later.”
Jiang Xuxu was stunned.
Ke Lu, who was sitting next to her, leaned forward and chimed in. ” I told her that as well, but she insisted that the last row was the place where all the strong students sat.”
Tong Luo was at a loss for words.
Which complaint should she even start with?
The last row was where the freeloaders sat, after all.
When Tan Song walked in from the door, his eyes lit up when he saw Qi Wu sitting in the last row.
Without hesitation, he walked over to Qi Wu.
However, there was one person who was clearly faster than him.
Jiang Yiran came out of nowhere and sat down beside Qi Wu before Tan Song could. Smiling up at Tan Song, Jiang Yiran said, “Let’s sit together.”
Tan Song pursed his lips as his eyes dimmed.
He did not say a word as he sat down beside Jiang Yiran.
Jiang Yiran was a newbie that Yuchu Entertainment was trying to promote while Tan Song was just an unpopular artist who could not make it. Naturally, Jiang Yiran had more value in the company’s eyes.
Therefore, while he knew Jiang Yiran had stolen the seat on purpose, he would not say anything.
Jiang Yiran did not know what Tan Song was thinking and was merely happy as a hint of joy flashed across his face.
However, when he turned around and saw Qi Wu sitting beside him, his expression instantly darkened.
The young man scoffed. “You really stole the limelight yesterday.”
Hearing this, Qi Wu calmly turned to look at him. “Jealous?”
Her words instantly set off Jiang Yiran’s explosive temper. “Why would I be jealous? I have 5 million followers! How many do you have? What? Do you not have an account?”
The young man was huffing and puffing, looking extremely stubborn and upset.
Qi Wu blinked and nodded as she honestly replied, “I don’t have a social media account.”
“You…”
Jiang Yiran did not know what to say.
Could she not tell that he was being sarcastic?
Qi Wu then ignored him and greeted Tan Song by name.
Tan Song, who had been silent all this while, instantly looked up. “Present.”
He did not even bother hiding the gentle tone in his voice.
“Can you show me your revised manuscript?”
“Of course!”
Tan Song did not expect her to take the initiative in this matter. Just like a fan who had been noticed by his idol, he was incredibly excited and a little impatient.
When Tan Song finally pulled out the manuscript and handed it to Qi Wu, he thoughtfully said, “Let me know what you think. Your opinion is important to me.”
“I will.”
However, she did not immediately read it. Instead, she looked at Jiang Yiran with lowered eyes and softly asked, “Are you jealous now?”
Jiang Yiran was speechless.
He was, in fact, mad with jealousy!
It was then that he realized the revenge of the wicked was always silent but deadly.
Therefore, Jiang Yiran could only watch helplessly as Qi Wu held the manuscript that Tan Song had personally written.
Suddenly, there was a huge ruckus in the classroom.
The contestants stared in shock at Tong Fei, who had suddenly appeared at the door. The ones who were most shocked were the contestants who had been chosen by the Tong Family to be her backup.
Their faces were extremely pale as they stared at her.
Tong Fei looked around the hall with a sharp glare. When she saw Tong Luo, the viciousness in her eyes intensified.
In the end, her gaze fell on the girls who had been her followers. Her entitled mentality was exposed from the moment she spoke.
“Hurry up and give up your seat to me!”
The girls did not dare to say anything.
Tong Fei had made a huge mistake and was scolded so harshly by Song Qi. Even so, she was still able to come back. It was clear that the Tong family had done quite a lot behind the scenes.
Not long after Tong Fei entered, Qiu Yan, who had gone missing for a whole day, appeared.
She seemed to have lost a lot of weight and was in a bad mood as she kept her head lowered.
As the other contestants speculated and stared, she silently walked to a seat on the last row and sat down.
Tong Fei smugly grinned as she looked at Qiu Yan who was huddled up in the last row like a scared chicken.
She stretched out her fingers and cheerfully admired her manicured nails.
“What a joke to think anyone would dare behave that atrociously to me.”
Tong Fei purposefully said that in a voice loud enough for Qiu Yan to hear. Therefore, everyone in the last row heard her.
Jiang Xuxu had been frowning ever since the two of them came in. ” Tong Fei is ridiculously arrogant.”
Tong Luo had long expected this situation, so she was not surprised.
“The Tong family will grant Tong Fei’s every request. They probably know that it’s not easy to get through to Mr. Song, so they went after Qiu Yan.”
With Qiu Yan’s family background, she could never be more stubborn than the Tong family.
She had already witnessed the Tong family’s ability to distort the truth from the incident eight years ago. They would not even spare the daughter they had raised for many years, so why would they play nice with a stranger? Jiang Yiran suddenly joined the discussion, saying, “You underestimate Mr.
Song and the production team.”
Jiang Xuxu was a friendly person, so she immediately asked, “You’re a good friend!”
Jiang Yiran glanced at Qi Wu. Upon seeing that no reaction from her, he could not help but feel angry.
“Although the Tong family has sent Tong Fei back, Mr. Song will make her regret this decision sooner or later. He’s infamous in the entertainment industry for being too old-fashioned.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a stern and cold voice suddenly said from behind him, “Who are you calling old-fashioned?”
Not realizing something was wrong, Jiang Yiran subconsciously replied,” Of course it’s Song…”
In the next second, he shot to his feet like a student who had been caught red-handed. He stood as straight and stiff as a soldier at attention.
“M-Mr. song!”
When Jiang Yiran saw Song Qi suddenly appear behind him, he was so scared
that he started to stutter..
