This was not the tone Si Fuqing usually used at the training camp.
Even when she was falsely accused of poisoning Lin Qingyan, she maintained a laid-back, almost nonchalant demeanor.
But now, her eyes held no trace of humor, only a chilling darkness, like a storm brewing, her presence overwhelming.
Everyone present found it hard to breathe under her imposing aura.
Xu Xiyunâs hands weakened, and his suitcase fell to the ground.
Xie Yuâs expression fluctuated noticeably as he looked at Si Fuqing, his gaze filled with a newfound insights.
âCapital, impressive indeed,â Si Fuqing finally addressed the manager, nodding, âSo youâre confident that by pushing my student out, your trainee will advance to the debut position?â
The manager inhaled deeply, his attitude softening despite his headache, âMiss Si, this really has nothing to do with you. We didnât want him to drop out either, but what can we do? This is Wangchuan Entertainmentâs demand.â
Originally, the company had sent Xu Xiyun to make up numbers, never expecting him to make it to the top fifty, let alone to a debut ranking.
The company was both shocked and delighted at Xu Xiyunâs ranking, but their joy was short-lived as they went bankrupt and were acquired by Wangchuan Entertainment.
Wangchuan had their own trainees, and Xu Xiyun, despite his high ranking, was not one of theirs.
Xu Xiyun bit his lip, wiping away his tears, trying to remain optimistic, âTeacher Si, itâs okay. Without you, I wouldnât have even made it into the top ten. Iâm already very content.â
Among the 101 trainees, all were elites from across the country.
With his capabilities, he should have been eliminated in the first round.
But with Si Fuqingâs help, he had climbed to ninth place.
With only a few episodes left, the final rankings were nearly set.
He never knew he had such potential.
âContent?â Si Fuqing tilted her head slightly, her cold smile not reaching her eyes, âIt seems Iâve been too gentle with you, giving you the wrong impression that Iâm easy to talk to. Now, get back to training.â
She then added indifferently, âPick up his suitcase, Xie Yu.â
Xie Yu effortlessly picked up the suitcase, which was almost as big as Xu Xiyun himself.
Shi Yu hurriedly covered Xu Xiyunâs mouth and dragged him back to the dance room.
âWhy bother, Miss Si?â the manager stomped his foot, âYou still have Xie Yu, who is sure to debut in a top position, and several other students. Whatâs the loss of one?â
He couldnât understand Si Fuqing at all.
Before meeting her, his impression of her was just a pretty face.
Even her performance in the show hadnât matched her stunning beauty.
Like actors in dramas, her talent was overshadowed by her looks, unless it was overwhelmingly strong, which Si Fuqing hadnât reached.
The manager knew about Si Fuqingâs precarious situation at Tianle Media.
Protecting Xu Xiyun now?
âEvery single one of my trainees matters,â Si Fuqing said firmly, âHow long is his contract? Whatâs the penalty for breaking it?â
âEight years,â the manager replied instinctively, âThe penalty isnât much, just one million, butââ
âEnough,â Si Fuqingâs tone was cool, âIâll handle his contract termination. Iâve said it: heâs not withdrawing. If your people want to debut, let them do it themselves. Donât pull any tricks here.â
After returning to the dance room and closing the door, the manager stood frozen for a moment, breaking into a cold sweat.
This was a big deal.
He had not expected Si Fuqing to dare to confront Wangchuan Entertainment so boldly.
All he could do was leave and report this development.
Inside the room, silence reigned.
When Si Fuqing entered, the trainees dared not even breathe too loudly.
It was calm, but she was angry.
This was the first time they truly felt her anger.
âTeacher Si!â Xu Xiyun was extremely nervous, âItâs really okay, donât act rashly. Your situation is already tough, with Tianle Media and everythingâ¦â
âIâm not breaking my contract because I want to finish this show and get more compensation.. Tianle Media canât control me,â Si Fuqing spoke coolly, âAnd youâre thinking of running away?â
