"What?" Yin Yin blinked her eyes, looking at the person in front of her with disbelief. "Gu's Entertainment?"
"Yes, I'm an agent from Gu's Entertainment. You can call me Sister Yun." The woman sitting opposite Yin Yin said with a smile. "I watched your competition live and I'm very interested in you."
"But I'm still with Wanmeng Entertainment right now..." Yin Yin was a little flustered.
The process of treating her widespread skin damage had been quite bumpy. First, she was threatened and controlled by Mo Jianing as a voice double, then she was almost tricked by human traffickers. Finally, after finding a reliable treatment institution, she thought that as long as she had a face that wouldn't scare people, she'd be content.
But she never expected the final results to be so good. Her skin was as if it had never been injured, only requiring regular repair and subsequent expenditure.
However, every time she looked in the mirror, Yin Yin felt it was worth it.
The reason she participated in Wanmeng Entertainment's talent show was to find a platform to chase her dreams.
Wanmeng Entertainment's talent show advertisement had been very loud and widespread, and the lead artists were all seasoned musicians with influence in the entertainment industry. Therefore, even though Wanmeng Entertainment had some past scandals, Yin Yin felt it was an opportunity worth pursuing.
She just didn't expect to meet Mo Jianing in the talent show.
Every time she met Mo Jianing's gaze, she would tremble all over and her face would turn pale.
But seeing that Mo Jianing never recognized her, Yin Yin was relieved.
She was now using her own voice, her own singing style, and her successfully repaired appearance. Mo Jianing shouldn't be able to recognize her.
Now, she just wanted to participate in the competition wholeheartedly. If she could win, she would receive enough signing fees for further treatment and be able to release digital CDs with the company's help.
What if many people liked her songs?
Yin Yin still held onto hope, after all, she had fans when she sang live online.
Although the talent show had only recently started filming, her ranking was still quite high, given her vocal advantage. While her dancing was still a bit uncoordinated, she could work hard to learn, as diligence could make up for lack of natural talent.
However, Yin Yin never expected to be discovered by a scout from Gu's Entertainment because of this program.
That was Gu's Entertainment!
The company that Xia Qing Tian was signed with!
Could she... do it?
Moreover, when she registered for Wanmeng Entertainment's talent show, she had signed a contract. During her participation in the talent show, she was not allowed to sign any commercial contracts with people from other entertainment companies. Even if she debuted later, Wanmeng Entertainment had priority under the same conditions.
"You don't need to worry about the contract. Gu's Entertainment will take care of any concerns you have," Sister Yun said. She thought highly of Yin Yin, not only because of Yin Yin's excellent vocal and appearance but, more importantly, because Yu Yin Yin was a person personally selected by Mr. Gu.
Mr. Gu never made mistakes.
Anyone he fancied was destined to become popular.
The previous person Mr. Gu personally selected was Xia Qing Tian.
"But..." Yu Yin Yin actually just wanted a platform to sing. She didn't want to get involved in the internal struggles between two companies, and the competition results were still unknown.
But the other party was from Gu's Entertainment!
It was the entertainment company Xia Qing Tian was in!
After hesitating, Yu Yin Yin timidly looked at Sister Yun and said softly, "Can I think about it?"
"Of course." Sister Yun smiled and handed her a business card. "This is my private number. Call me anytime when you've made up your mind."
"Okay, thank you." Holding Sister Yun's business card, Yu Yin Yin smiled and nodded, then returned to the dormitory arranged by Wanmeng Entertainment with an excited and elated mood.
She had come out temporarily after receiving Sister Yun's call. Seizing the opportunity, she wanted to go to the practice room to practice her dance steps.
She didn't want to hold everyone back and wanted to treat every performance seriously.
However, when she arrived at the dormitory entrance, Yu Yin Yin saw many contestants gathered in the lobby. Seeing her arrive, they started whispering among themselves, scrutinizing her from head to toe.
Looking at everyone's gazes, Yin Yin was instantly reminded of the embarrassment she felt being pointed at in crowds after her facial burns.
She abruptly raised her hand to touch her face. Her fingertips touched smooth, soft skin, which somewhat calmed Yin Yin.
But as her gaze passed over the crowd and she saw her personal belongings piled on the table where takeout was usually placed, Yin Yin was stunned.
What... what was going on?
Yu Yin Yin walked forward step by step, and the onlookers, sensing the situation, made way for her.
"Yin Yin..." A girl who had been practicing with her in the afternoon wanted to comfort her, but was pulled back by her companion, who signaled her not to invite trouble.
Yu Yin Yin was clearly being kicked out for offending Mo Jianing. If they spoke up now, they wouldn't be able to help Yu Yin Yin, and they would also be putting themselves in danger.
Yu Yin Yin glanced at the two girls, then walked towards the small table.
"Yu Yin Yin, it's good that you're back. These are all your things. Take them and get out. You've been disqualified from the competition," the staff member in charge of these trainees said coldly.
"Why? On what grounds!" Yin Yin looked at the staff member, wondering if it was because she had met with an agent from Gu's Entertainment privately.
But she hadn't agreed to Gu's Entertainment, she had only met them once. Was that not allowed?
"Do you want me to announce to everyone what shameful thing you've done?" the staff member said with disdain. "You were brought here to compete properly, but look at you! Not training seriously, your mind filled with shortcuts and seducing men! I've seen many women like you in this industry! Relying on your youth, you have no shame!"
"What?" Yu Yin Yin was completely bewildered.
If it was because she had met people from other entertainment companies in private, she might have considered herself in the wrong.
But to say she seduced men?
The most she did every day was to practice diligently in the practice room, either vocal training or dance practice. She never wasted a single moment!
"I practice and practice every day! Apart from recording, I've been there from when the practice room opened until it closed! Everyone here can vouch for me!" Yu Yin Yin said. "I've never..."
"Who can vouch for you?" the staff member sneered. "Point them out, let me see."
"Well..." Yu Yin Yin immediately looked at the trainees, but saw everyone actively avoiding her gaze.
In that instant, Yu Yin Yin understood.
At this moment, she felt so isolated and helpless.
No one would vouch for her.
