Yu Yinyin stood in place, watching Xia Qingtian's receding back, and blinked.
"Yinyin, what's wrong?" Wen Ning, who had just come out of the elevator, asked Yu Yinyin, who was already waiting for her in the lobby, "Were you waiting long?"
"No, I just arrived too," Yu Yinyin immediately waved her hand and said, "I just saw Qingtian, she seemed to leave in a hurry."
"Really?" Wen Ning responded and glanced towards the door. She didn't see Xia Qingtian, but she had already heard from someone about Xia Qingtian coming to see Mr. Gu.
The scheduled life-or-death meeting was probably canceled due to Xia Qingtian.
She had long seen that Mr. Gu was not ordinary towards Xia Qingtian, but Xia Qingtian...
In Wen Ning's impression, Xia Qingtian was delicate and smooth in her dealings, possessing a quiet and gentle demeanor.
This was probably due to her excellent upbringing and affluent family background.
But when it came to romantic relationships, Qingtian was as stubborn as a bull and as dull as a block of wood.
This was naturally good for her as an artist, allowing for stable development.
But now Xia Qingtian was not just a pure artist, and from the current situation, she had a high probability of becoming their boss's wife.
That would be somewhat troublesome.
Well, matters of fate were all predetermined by heaven.
She couldn't manage that much; now she just wanted to focus on nurturing this promising talent, Yu Yinyin.
Xia Qingtian's phenomenal explosion in popularity was a result of opportune timing, favorable conditions, and widespread support, something Yu Yinyin couldn't match.
However, Yu Yinyin's own conditions were not bad; she had an advantage in her voice and excellent external appearance.
As long as no one deliberately dug into her past, Wen Ning was confident that she could make her a little famous.
As for what would happen in the future, it could only depend on whether heaven was willing to bless her with this career.
"Let's go. The professional stage teacher invited this time also coached Qingtian before," Wen Ning withdrew her gaze and looked at Yu Yinyin as they walked towards the elevator, introducing, "Although she has a bit of a temper, she is indeed very capable. You can consider it as a strict teacher producing excellent students."
"Okay," Yu Yinyin was very satisfied with her current life; she could feel that Wen Ning was genuinely taking care of her.
Perhaps because of Xia Qingtian, Wen Ning and others in the company knew that Wen Ning was famous for being protective, so they were all very friendly towards her.
It was precisely because of this that Yu Yinyin worked extremely hard. No matter what courses or training Wen Ning arranged for her, she would prepare and study with all her might.
She didn't want to let down Xia Qingtian's kindness, nor did she want to disappoint Wen Ning.
She was someone who wasn't even afraid of death, so she had nothing to lose.
Now, she just wanted to work hard, earn money, and pay off her debts quickly.
Yu Yinyin's diligence and hard work were also what Wen Ning was most satisfied with.
On the other side, in a small studio apartment in a high-end residential building in Z City, in a room with tightly drawn curtains, the computer screen glowed. A young man sitting in front of the computer wore a pair of unfashionable black-rimmed glasses, staring at the screen with a look of shock, muttering in disbelief, "No way... why isn't it there?"
As if unable to believe it, the man immediately started searching on the web, only to find that there was nothing unusual on the official website of Wanyuan Entertainment or the program introduction page.
"What's going on? Is she sick?" the man's voice was full of worry, "Where's Yinyin? Why isn't Yinyin in this episode of the competition?"
After searching on the webpage, he found that many viewers were also leaving comments asking why Yu Yinyin's group was missing.
After all, although Yu Yinyin lacked stage experience, her singing was quite good, and she had gained some fans during this period.
Wanyuan Entertainment had not yet responded to this matter.
However, some people disguised as others left comments online saying that Yu Yinyin had been kicked out of Wanyuan Entertainment due to a chaotic personal life.
"What nonsense!" The man naturally didn't believe it. He immediately used the computer next to him to check the IP address of the commenter, only to find that the IP location was traced to the Wanyuan Entertainment headquarters.
Frowning deeply, the man's eyes behind his black-rimmed glasses were full of displeasure, "How dare they slander my Yinyin like this... See how I teach you a lesson!"
The man's fingertips typed a string of commands on the keyboard. Before he could press Enter, he heard the room door being pushed open violently, startling him into quickly hiding the desktop with a single click.
"Hey, Nemo, you can't keep doing this, or you'll die in here someday," Bai Yuqi, with golden hair, leaned against the doorframe with a helpless expression. "I hired you to be my assistant, not to find a quiet place to seclude yourself."
The man called Nemo's panicked expression flashed away. He adjusted the black-rimmed glasses on his nose with his finger before saying, "I've already investigated the person you asked me to look into."
"So what? You can continue to be a shut-in?" Bai Yuqi sighed, his face full of worry, "You're an economics talent and information technology expert from an Ivy League school. Is this really okay for you?"
"This is good," Nemo pushed the black-rimmed glasses on his nose with his finger again, seeming unwilling to dwell on himself any longer. He then said, "The student from Z City No. 1 Middle School named Nie Qingkong, his identity is fake. The method used was very delicate. He probably prepared a large number of shell identities many years ago and just applied them randomly."
"What? Fake?" Bai Yuqi was slightly stunned.
When Gu Yaoyang asked him to investigate that Nie Qingkong, he thought Gu Yaoyang was overthinking it.
Just an ordinary student.
Now it seemed that this "Nie Qingkong" was really not ordinary at all!
His identity was fake.
So what was his purpose in coming to Z City?
And why did he appear next to Xia Qingtian?
"Yes, I checked. Except for the gender, everything else is fake," Nemo continued, "Now this person's identity shell is also invalid. Looking at the last IP information, he should have gone abroad. Should I continue searching?"
"Let's stop here for now," Bai Yuqi felt that if they continued searching, they might uncover something extraordinary. Since that was the case, he might as well go and collect some money from the sugar daddies first.
After all, he was from a humble background and now had a severely socially phobic shut-in assistant to support, so he was also working very hard.
"I'm going out for a bit," Bai Yuqi glanced at the time on his watch and said, "Can I order you a pizza tonight?"
"Yes, with Coke and grilled wings," Nemo said seriously, "No diet Coke, diet Coke has no soul."
"Got it, I really don't know why you're so obsessed with Coke," Bai Yuqi shook his head helplessly, then turned to leave. Before leaving, he assigned some small tasks to Nemo.
This assistant, apart from being a bit strange, was quite good in other aspects.
