The Rebirth of a Diva

Episode 62

Along the corridor, the early spring breeze sent cold air to his bones.

The class had just ended and as Xia Ling walked slowly alone in the corridor, small clicks of the trainee walked by her side in a happy conversation, looking relaxed and happy. No one even glanced at him.

He felt helpless.

He needed someone to help him overcome the imminent danger, but that person could not be Li Lei. He would definitely not use his body in return for his help. He stopped in his tracks and leaned against the outer wall of the teaching building. Closing his eyes, he ran through everyone he knew in his mind. Finally, he thought of someone he could ask for help.

He dug up his sling bag and pulled out his cell phone. Calling Wei Shaoyin, he said after he picked up, "Master. Wei, do you have time now? I need ... Your help."

Wei Shaoyin agreed to meet him at a cafe near the training camp.

The music in the cafe was soft and melodious. He wore a white shirt with silver stripes buttoned up to the collar, very clean and neat. He sat in front of her and asked for a glass of warm water, which he held in his hand. He told her about what happened when he set the thoughts in his head. He summarized the main points: Imperial Entertainment wanted him to move to them, and Tan Ying agreed but he did not want to.

With regards to Pei Ziheng's interest in her, she did not want to mention it.

After Wei Shaoyin heard everything he had to say, he paused for a moment before taking out his phone and calling Tan Ying.

Wei Shaoyin turned on the phone speaker and said, "Are you crazy? You want to sell Xiao Ling ?!"

Across the phone, Tan Ying was silent for a moment, before saying, "Ah Wei, are you talking about Ye Xingling's transfer? This little lady is a troublemaker. Did he tell you about it?"

Wei Shaoyin became a little impatient. "Don't change the topic, Tan Ying. You asked for my opinion during the year-end exam and I told you back then that Xiao Ling was a gem that we should practice carefully. Over time, he will succeed "Great. It was just a while ago and now you want to sell it to Imperial Entertainment ?!"

"Imperial Entertainment gave me a very good offer," Tan Ying was unaffected. "They gave us two trainees that they had prepared to debut the best – trainees that Imperial Entertainment had in the last five years – in exchange for one Ye Xingling. In addition, they also pay us a hefty fee for transfers, and will give us slots next year for all major media channels. "

Wei Shaoyin started. "A good offer?"

"Of course, I will make sure to negotiate for a good offer when I sell someone," Tan Ying said.

Wei Shaoyin regained his senses, and then replied angrily, "Are you an idiot? If they were willing to give us such an offer, wouldn't that speak to Xiao Ling's great potential? Even Imperial Entertainment can see that and has come to snatch it from us. How can you let him go ?! "

Tan Ying was also annoyed. "You idiot! I've been selling people for so many years now, don't you think I can recognize talent ?! You dare to question my professional abilities, Wei Shaoyin? !! Do you know why Imperial Entertainment gave us such a good offer ?! Huh ?! What rubbish about seeing potential in him! Pei Ziheng only wanted it for himself! "

If not for the conversation over the phone, Xia Ling could almost imagine him blabbering all over Wei Shaoyin's face.

Clearly, Wei Shaoyin could feel his level of anger as well, and sat down slightly with a look of disdain.

He was silent for a moment before looking at Xia Ling in surprise.

After that, he spoke on the phone again. "What did you say? Pei Ziheng was interested in Xiao Ling ?!"

“I'm also surprised.” After his words were harsh, Tan Ying was clearly calmer than before. "Pei Ziheng has never had such playboy tendencies, but in recent months, I have heard that he has 'gathered' some. Who knows what happened to him."

There was a dull pain in his heart. Pei Ziheng's. . . "Collecting" some people?

She thought that /that she only wanted Ye Xingling, so even though she was scared, it was not to the point of feeling completely heartbroken and hopeless. However, hearing this information, he felt as if someone had thrust a knife into his heart, suffocating him with pain and blood flowing freely. In his subconscious, a voice mocked him –

Who do you think you are? Do you think you're the only one?

Surrender, you are never the only one in her eyes. In your past life, there was Wang Jingwan. In this life, there were many little unknown characters around him. You fought really hard to escape his clutches, but to him, you are just one of his many games!

His knuckles turned white as he grasped the glass so hard that his hands trembled uncontrollably, ripples forming on the surface of the water in the glass.

Wei Shaoyin was still talking to Tan Ying. "Since you know that Pei Ziheng used this money to buy a lover instead of a trainee, how could you make Xiao Ling go against your conscience? Tan Ying, I don't agree with this!"

Tan Ying coldly replied, "Ah Wei, you call the shots when it comes to music. I call the shots when it comes to training camp."

Without warning, Wei Shaoyin slammed his palm on the table in the cafe as Tan Ying finished his sentence, his voice deafening. Xia Ling jumped in shock, the glass in her hand, which she did not hold steady, fell to the floor and shattered.

Wei Shaoyin did not react to this and continued to stare at his phone on the table.

On the other end of the phone, Tan Ying was silent for a moment before saying, "Don't be angry, Ah Wei."

Wei Shaoyin pulled his lips tightly and did not speak, his expression darkened.

Tan Ying sighed and slowly said, "I know Ye Xingling has potential. I was wrong about him in the past, but his performances in the last half-year have clearly met the mark for making his debut. In fact, he still improved and became even more outstanding with each examination. "He continued," Ah Wei, I believed you when you said that he was going to be great. "

Wei Shaoyin's expression lifted slightly, but he still remained silent.

Tan Ying continued to speak. "But how popular has he become? With the current situation, he would have managed to reach A-list at his best. Do you really think he can be a diva and a superstar?"

"The stars must be completely aligned in order for one to achieve diva and superstar status," Wei Shaoyin said eventually.

Tan Ying laughed. "Yup, you're more aware of how difficult it is. So, if we consider that Ye Xingling became an A-list singer in the future, and the two that Imperial Entertainment gave her instead became A-listers as well, too, then Skyart Entertainment will only profit in this transaction. "

Wei Shaoyin's voice turned cold again. "You can't count it that way …"

Tan Ying cut him off. "I know what you're going to say. You would say that this was unfair to Ye Xingling. However, since Pei Ziheng was paying attention to him, he did not have much value for Skyart Entertainment anymore.

"You know that Pei Ziheng is famous for being domineering. Those who follow the rules survive, those who do not die. If he could not get Ye Xingling, he would have all sorts of ways to ensure that Ye Xingling's life would become miserable. This little lady will have a very difficult path ahead of her. There was no reason for Skyart Entertainment to offend Imperial Entertainment just because of him. And I'm not saying that Skyart Entertainment is incapable, but it's not worth it and it's not necessary, do you understand, Ah Wei?

"Why don't we give up at this point and get two more suitable beginners instead. This should be a consideration of Skyart Entertainment's management.

“Ah Wei, think of it.” Tan Ying finished with this sentence and hung up the phone.
