Even without an audience, they dared not be negligent in the slightest.
Aunt Hong had said this was not a beauty contest, but a true test of public relations!
The stage was not long, about two or three minutes to walk from one end to the other.
The curtains were the same, and Bai Suxiang didn't even feel like they had walked across that section of the stage.
Wang Xiaohong whispered to Yu Xiaoman, "Do you think the people we're supposed to meet are inside?"
As she spoke, she pointed to a door-like area ahead.
"Who knows!"
Yu Xiaoman said contemptuously.
She always seemed confident and indifferent to everything.
Bai Suxiang secretly admired her composure.
The area they were in was as brightly lit as the dressing room.
After a while, Aunt Hong walked out from a spot that looked like a wall.
It was clearly a specially constructed wall, and if one wasn't familiar with the place, they might not know how to enter or exit.
"Those whose names are called, follow me!"
It seemed this was the result of the selection, and the girls were all very nervous.
They both hoped to be chosen and feared being chosen because of their nervousness.
"Yu Xiaoman!"
"Wow! Her again!"
Someone exclaimed in surprise.
"What's wrong, are you unconvinced? Or why don't you go first!"
Wang Xiaohong retorted triumphantly, as if she were Yu Xiaoman's personal maid.
The person glared at her and said no more.
"Bai Suxiang!"
Bai Suxiang heard her name and felt a little nervous.
"Here!"
"Hahaha!"
Someone burst into laughter.
Whether they were amused by Bai Suxiang's response or trying to ease the tension, the tense atmosphere was instantly broken.
"Be serious! No laughing!"
Aunt Hong reprimanded, and the atmosphere returned to its original state.
They maintained solemn expressions and listened quietly to Aunt Hong's words.
However, she didn't call any other names, only spoke some irrelevant words.
"You two, follow me!"
With that, Aunt Hong walked towards the wall Wang Xiaohong had pointed to.
Yu Xiaoman quickly followed, but expecting Aunt Hong to push open a door, she was surprised when she suddenly turned right.
It turned out that it was just a backdrop, and the real entrance was to the right.
Bai Suxiang followed behind, not needing to worry about these things. Sudan Novel Network.
After walking about seven or eight steps, they entered a room.
The lights inside were brilliant, even dazzling.
Bai Suxiang's eyes could barely stay open.
"Bosses, they are here!"
Aunt Hong announced.
"I want her, only her! You pick the other one!"
A male voice said, and he rushed over and grabbed Bai Suxiang's hand.
Bai Suxiang, nervous, pulled her hand away.
She looked closely, "How could it be you?"
It turned out to be Shu Risheng, but how could he be here?
"Hahaha! You brat, you're so impatient! You picked the good one, what's left for this old man?"
The person sitting on the sofa said with a laugh.
He didn't seem to care who these girls were, or perhaps he never saw them as people at all.
"Uncle Mi, you promised me you'd pick, so you can't go back on your word!"
Shu Risheng said to the man while glancing at Bai Suxiang.
"Hey, what are you talking about? Our girls here are all top-notch! Otherwise, it wouldn't be called Peach Blossom Spring!"
"Yes, yes! Uncle Mi, if we can't impress here, then you won't find anyone pretty in all of China!"
Shu Risheng echoed.
He knew in his heart that as long as Bai Suxiang was his, he didn't care what happened to the others!
As long as the person surnamed Mi didn't compete with him, Shu Risheng would be content.
Although Yu Xiaoman didn't expect such praise from the newcomers, she didn't say anything to win sympathy.
She had always disdained to debase herself.
"Come, come, quickly toast Boss Mi!"
Aunt Hong hurriedly beckoned Yu Xiaoman.
This Boss Mi, named Mi Liusun, was rumored to be a secretary in a government agency, but Aunt Hong didn't know how high his position was.
The boss had instructed her to treat him well.
The girls who managed to get qualification for Hongdao during this period were only seven or eight.
No one knew how the two of them took a liking to these girls who had recently arrived on the island.
Yu Xiaoman had also learned some public relations etiquette; composure was her motto.
"Boss Mi, please!"
As she spoke, she picked up a teacup from the coffee table and poured a cup of tea.
Mi Liusun looked at her with a smile, appraising Yu Xiaoman from head to toe.
He had originally wanted Bai Suxiang to accompany him, but he didn't expect that impetuous Shu Risheng to have snatched her first.
As a VIP, he couldn't fight with a young upstart over a woman; it would sound bad if it got out.
"Hmm! Not bad, not bad!"
He said habitually.
This statement was not deeply offensive, but it didn't necessarily mean he was truly impressed.
However, looking around just now, only these two newcomers to the island caught his eye.
Of course, it was Shu Risheng who had instigated him to choose these two.
While Yu Xiaoman was accompanying Mi Liusun, Shu Risheng had already taken Bai Suxiang's arm and led her to the coffee table.
"Come, sit!"
"Ah?"
Bai Suxiang exclaimed in surprise.
Although she could roughly guess Shu Risheng's identity, she never expected him to treat her this way.
Shu Risheng didn't wait for her to ask why, but gently pushed her onto the sofa and poured her a cup of tea himself.
"Hahaha! You brat, are you having the beauty serve you, or are you serving the beauty?"
Indeed, Mi Liusun was amused by this scene.
Shu Risheng was considered a second-generation rich kid, and he shouldn't be so subservient to these women of the night.
Yet, upon seeing Bai Suxiang, he seemed so meek and submissive.
"Heh heh!"
Shu Risheng gave an awkward laugh, but his hands didn't stop pouring tea.
Aunt Hong immediately said:
"Bai Suxiang, why aren't you quickly serving Master Shu tea!"
As she spoke, she quickly reached out to take the teapot from Shu Risheng.
If the boss knew that Shu Risheng was serving these girls here, he wouldn't know how he would punish her.
"No, no, no! Aunt Hong, please sit, you sit too!"
Shu Risheng said to Aunt Hong, gripping the teapot tightly.
Aunt Hong was a bit surprised. Shu Risheng, who usually didn't talk much to her, was now speaking so cordially.
Looking at Bai Suxiang, who was neither standing nor sitting, she understood.
Shu Risheng had taken a liking to Bai Suxiang!
"No, no, no, Young Master Shu, if your father knew, he might..."
Aunt Hong said worriedly.
Whether Bai Suxiang was favored or not was one thing, but she couldn't afford to offend the boss because of this.
The Shu family had strict rules, and they absolutely did not allow a woman of the night to enter the family.
This was her own personal experience, and that of another woman.
Although she eventually stayed, she could only bury that romantic affection deep in her heart.
