The Rebirth of a Diva

Episode 43

Long silence.

Wei Shaoyin's face remained cold as he slowly sipped the Madheling coffee in his hand. When he slammed his hands on the table angrily earlier, half a cup of coffee had splashed onto the plate and table, yet he was unaware of this even though he was usually obsessed with it.

Xia Ling did not speak as well, her heart sank slowly.

Tan Ying's words, although cruel, were all for the benefit of the company and he had no way of refuting it. Wei Shaoyin was also in the top management of the company and was an avid employee. He doesn't think that their relationship is nearing the point that he would be willing to undermine the company's interest in helping him. Moreover, Tan Ying said that Wei Shaoyin had no authority over matters in the training camp.

As all these thoughts flowed in his mind, he heard Wei Shaoyin speak.

"Xiao Ling," He looked at her. "Are you unwilling to go to Imperial Entertainment because Pei Ziheng wants you for himself?"

He asserted sadly.

"How strong is your determination?"

“Even if I die, I won't be his toy.” He lowered his eyes, staring into the crossed pattern on the table.

Wei Shaoyin fell silent again, drinking his coffee one after another.

Xia Ling took a deep breath and said, "Master Wei, my apology for putting you in a difficult position. In relation to this situation …"

"How much do you still owe the company?" Wei Shaoyin interrupted.

He started.

“Also, take a closer look at your trainee contract and tell me how much it will cost to breach it.” Wei Shaoyin laid down a cup of coffee as he made his decision. "Give me the total amount. I'll pay for it for you."

Xia Ling looked at him in disbelief. Did Wei Shaoyin offer to help her break free from Skyart Entertainment?

He felt tears start to flow well. Contract violations for trainees will usually come at a huge cost. Even if Wei Shaoyin was rich, he was not a big boss like Pei Ziheng or Li Lei. However, he was willing to spend the money on his behalf. He was very touched.

"Why do you want to help me?" He asked softly.

"In this world, there's not much I respect. You happen to be one of them," Wei Shaoyin said. The arrogant expression that was usually replaced by a slightly apologetic one as he continued, "But Tan Ying is right, I need to consider Skyart Entertainment's interest. It was not worth offending Imperial Entertainment for something like this. As such, I can only help you leave Skyart Entertainment in my personal way. "

"But you should think about this carefully, Xiao Ling. Once you finish this, your path in the entertainment circle will be very difficult. You will be in breach of contract and marked by Imperial Entertainment. No company wants to bring you in. It is likely that you will have to leave the entertainment circle altogether. "

“Ah Wei, I don't care about that,” She looked at him and replied seriously.

He was finally willing to call her "Ah Wei." In this life, Xia Ling said that she did not need any friends. However, his help in times of need made him let his guards.

He raised his head to meet his vision. "Ah Wei, I don't care if I can stay in the entertainment circle. However, I don't want to rely on your finances and run away. Even if I leave, I will leave politely and not like this . "

Wei Shaoyin watched him closely and laughed. "Your pride will kill you one day."

“It already killed me once,” he replied lightly.

He took it as a joke and started moving his long, thin fingers on the table. This is a habit he has when thinking. After a long while, he said, "Xiao Ling, I've thought about it. It really seems like the only way to go. If you want to get rid of Pei Ziheng, this is the only way, and you will risk having to leave the entertainment circle completely. "

In fact, he had thought of another idea, but he did not know if it would be too shocking.

However, at this moment, he did not have the time to think too much about it.

“Tan Ying decided to send me away mainly because I did not carry enough value for the company and was not worth to be kept at risk.” Xia Ling deliberated loudly and said to Wei Shaoyin, “What if I have a greater value than that ? A value that exceeded the combined two participants from Imperial Entertainment? "

“If that's the case, Skyart Entertainment will choose to take care of you,” Wei Shaoyin replied without hesitation. However, he frowned at her and continued. "The two trainees already have the potential to become A-listers. If you want to have greater value than those put together, you have to be …"

"I'll prove to the company that I have the potential to be a diva."

In some high grade archery ranges.

Li Lei opened the stiff wooden bow, then loaded it and fired it, the shot instantly flying towards the center of the target. A few handsome men and women cheered around him, saying, "Young Master Li is indeed Young Master Li. It's amazing how you can always hit the mark."

Li Lei laughed and received the towel that one of the women gave him. He heard his phone ring and walked a few steps to pick it up.

"Hello, Tan Ying?" His voice is deep and pleasant. "What's? You said that Ye Xingling wanted to prove to the company that she had the potential to become a diva?"

On the other end of the phone, Tan Ying apologized to Li Lei. "Sorry Boss, I want to push him to the edge so that he will ask for your help. I didn't think he would throw a wrench into the mix like that ..." Since the day when Tan Ying was asked to pick Ye Xingling up from Li Lei's apartment, it has been, Li Lei had told him to report to him every news about him.

When Chu Chen came up with an offer to buy Ye Xingling, Tan Ying immediately reported it to Li Lei. Li Lei was the one who asked him to address it according to the company's policy to scare Ye Xingling so that she would reach the point of helplessness and ask Li Lei for help. . .

However, Tan Ying did not know that things would not go as they expected.

"What should I do, Boss?" Tan Ying asked nervously. "Should I say that he was mediocre and let out a commotion from nothingness? It was very difficult for him to prove that he had the potential of a diva. If I refuse her request, she still has to come to you for Help . . . "

Li Lei laughed lightly and said, “You are right, it is very difficult for him to prove that he has the potential of a diva.” He tilted his head slightly while continuing to talk to the phone. The bright winter afternoon sun made his deep eyes even more radiant. He said, "I'm very curious about where he got this confidence from, even daring to suggest that he would prove to us that he has such potential? … Tan Ying, just follow the protocol, don't mess up the boat. I'm really interested to see what he's going to do … "

The Skyart Entertainment office.

Tan Ying hung up the phone and thought for a moment. He pressed the intercom over his desk and said to his secretary, "Prepare the venue and set the assessment day open."

Judgment day will be conducted within three days in a small auditorium at the training camp. Tan Ying stated that if Xia Ling could win the hearts of the judges with her singing, then she would be allowed to stay at Skyart Entertainment. If he failed, he would have to go to Imperial Entertainment.

The training camp was filled with excitement and anticipation as the news spread.

Wei Shaoyin was very worried and scolded Xia Ling, saying she was angry. How often is a diva found, where does she gain her confidence?

Xia Ling knew that she was worried for him. He smiled and told her to watch. For others, this is a difficult task. But for him, it was simple – he once reached diva status and stood at the top of the entertainment circle, proving that he had what it took and knew what he needed to do to get there. Today, all he needed to do was walk the same path again.

Wei Shaoyin still felt that it was uncertain.

"But" he said arrogantly. "You are the one who made this claim. If you fail, the shame is yours." However, even after saying this, he still helped to point out the area in his voice that he had to watch out for.

Xia Ling was very touched. With a friend like this, what else does he need?
