As Mo Jianing interacted more with her schoolmates, the more anxious she became.
What kind of monsters were these people?
The girl to her left had started dancing at the age of three; her posture, figure, fair skin, and long legs were all flawless.
The girl to her right changed her handbag daily. In their three meetings so far, Mo Jianing had noticed she drove three different colored sports cars.
The girl diagonally behind her was even more outrageous. She was rumored to be a child of celebrities, doing her homework on film sets since elementary school, with influential figures in the industry being her godparents.
With these comparisons, Mo Jianing grew increasingly worried about her future.
She wanted to urge Xia Qingtian, but she was afraid Xia Qingtian would urge her to repay the money.
After all, Xia Qingtian had sent her screenshots, and only then did she realize she had borrowed over a hundred thousand yuan from Xia Qingtian over the years.
Good heavens, she was just a freshman, where would she get over a hundred thousand yuan to repay Xia Qingtian!
Thinking of this, Mo Jianing felt angry. Xia Qingtian had never mentioned repayment before, but now she was pressuring her.
The immense pressure made her unable to sleep well and even affected her skin!
It was truly malicious!
As Mo Jianing was agonizing over what to do, a talent scout approached her.
In a exquisitely decorated coffee shop with the perfect ambiance, the elegant and beautiful woman sitting opposite her handed Mo Jianing a business card: "I'm an agent from Gu's Entertainment. You can call me Sister Su."
"Gu's Entertainment?" Hearing the company's name, Mo Jianing was stunned.
Good heavens, this was a top-tier entertainment company renowned for creating stars!
"Virtual idols are very popular lately. Our staff heard the audio you uploaded online. Gu's Entertainment is looking to create a brand-new virtual idol image. Are you interested?" Sister Su asked Mo Jianing with a smile.
"I am interested!" Mo Jianing immediately agreed, but then she hesitated.
That audio was Xia Qingtian singing, which she had recorded. She had just wanted to satisfy her vanity and gain more followers on her Weibo. She never expected it to be so popular, let alone have an agent from Gu's Entertainment approach her.
Mo Jianing felt this was an opportunity she had to seize, but she was uncertain about Xia Qingtian's situation.
Ever since Xia Qingtian took leave before the college entrance examination, she had been acting strangely.
Mo Jianing thought she knew Xia Qingtian best, but now, she was hesitant.
"If that's the case, record a new audio for me. I'll take it back to the company for review, and then we'll sign the contract," Sister Su said. "The audio you posted online wasn't very clear. The clarity will affect your signing level and contract amount."
"This, this..." Mo Jianing's heart sank.
"Is there a problem?" Sister Su looked at Mo Jianing.
"It's just that I don't have any good recording equipment right now," Mo Jianing stammered.
"That's fine. Gu's has its own recording studios. If needed, you can come directly to Gu's with me. If everything goes smoothly, we can sign the contract today," Sister Su said.
"Today?" Mo Jianing became even more flustered. Her eyes darted around as she said, "I'm not feeling well today. Can we reschedule?"
"Hmm... alright." Sister Su found Mo Jianing a bit strange, but she didn't want to rush things. After all, cooperation was often about mutual willingness.
"Then... I'll see you next time." Mo Jianing stood up.
"Okay, see you next time." Sister Su and Mo Jianing exchanged contact information and left the coffee shop.
Mo Jianing patted her chest, thinking to herself that no matter what, she had to deal with Xia Qingtian as soon as possible. She absolutely had to get Xia Qingtian's high-definition voice!
With that thought, Mo Jianing's gaze shifted, and she decided to take a gamble.
Xia Qingtian was quite surprised when she received the payment from Mo Jianing.
She remembered Mo Jianing's parents were ordinary wage earners with not much savings. She hadn't expected Mo Jianing to be able to produce over a hundred thousand yuan at once to repay the debt.
Xia Qingtian thought Mo Jianing would continue to lie low.
[Qingtian, I've repaid the money. Can we get together tomorrow!]
Looking at the message accompanying the transfer, Xia Qingtian narrowed her eyes slightly but didn't reply immediately.
"What? Something urgent came up?" Mobius, walking beside Xia Qingtian, asked her.
"It's nothing. Someone I thought wouldn't repay suddenly did," Xia Qingtian said with a smile, looking at Mobius. "Today might be my lucky day."
"That's great," Mobius smiled faintly.
"Thank you for introducing Mr. Gu to me," Xia Qingtian said, tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear and flashing a bright smile. "Today might truly be my lucky day."
"Heh heh." Mobius just chuckled and then, quite绅士, pushed open the door for Xia Qingtian.
Xia Qingtian seemed to be in good spirits. She smiled at Mobius and then started humming a tune.
Hearing Xia Qingtian's voice, Mobius froze for a moment. After listening carefully, he then called out to Xia Qingtian and took out his phone to play an audio file: "Is this Miss Xia singing?"
"It's me," Xia Qingtian could still recognize her own voice, but she didn't know how Mobius got her singing audio. "Mobius, this is..."
"This song is quite popular online, but it was an a cappella recording, done on the spot, so the quality isn't very good. Gu's Entertainment is looking to sign the singer of this a cappella track," Mobius said, looking at Xia Qingtian. "I didn't expect... it was you..."
He looked at Xia Qingtian's face, his gaze deepening.
He was becoming increasingly interested in Xia Qingtian.
He led Xia Qingtian into a private room where someone was already waiting. The man stood up immediately upon seeing Mobius. Before he could speak, he saw Xia Qingtian walk directly towards him, extend her hand, and say with a warm smile, "Mr. Gu, I've heard so much about you."
The man was taken aback for a moment and then looked at Mobius.
Mobius subtly nodded at him, and then the man put on a professional smile and shook Xia Qingtian's hand. "Hello."
"This is Miss Xia Qingtian," Mobius introduced them. "She is also the a cappella singer we are looking to sign."
"Is that so? Hello, Miss Xia," Mr. Gu said with a light smile, gesturing. "Please, have a seat."
"Certainly." Xia Qingtian sat in the seat opposite Mr. Gu, a smile on her lips, feeling a bit disappointed.
In Xia Qingtian's imagination, this mysterious Mr. Gu should have had a more imposing aura. Although the man before her was quite handsome, it was...
Honestly, Xia Qingtian felt Mobius fit her previous fantasy of Mr. Gu better.
System: As long as you're happy...
