CH 12

After thinking about it all night in the guest room, Wan Tong really felt that the card she handed out last night hurt Shen Bu’s self-esteem.

So from the next day, Wan Tong treated Shen Bu with more care, and even made breakfast by herself.

Shen Bu seemed to be the same as usual, keeping his head down while eating silently, eating up both Chinese and Western breakfasts she made.

Wan Tong looked at his clear face, and thought of his “begging for perfection” last night, and secretly scolded herself, she was so impulsive.

After that day, Wan Tong worked hard to answer more announcements.

Now she has only one assistant and no agent, so she often has to screen resources by herself, and deal with most things by herself. Wei Qianxun contacted her several times without giving up, but she rejected them all.

She is now more popular than when she was the most popular back then, her net worth has also risen, and her announcements and invitations are all of exceptional quality.

Wan Tong originally wanted to follow the original owner’s temperament and just bury her head in making music, but then her income would decrease, and once the heat passed, she could only spend her savings.

Wan Tong needs money now and needs to occupy a certain position in the entertainment industry, so she can only work harder, make good music and earn a lot of money.

During this period of time, she established a good relationship with many music producers in the circle, appeared on shows frequently, and was even invited to be a singer in a singing competition.

In just half a month, Wan Tong felt that she had become a desperate shisannniang1, singing and singing everywhere in the entertainment circle.

During this period, news broke out on the Internet. After the news of Su Wantong’s death came out, Su Fang contacted the insurance company immediately, and not long before Su Wantong posted a clarification on Weibo, she was still asking about the relevant compensation procedures.

Now, everyone could clearly see Su Fang’s ugly face and vicious thoughts.

Su Fang coveted her daughter’s property. Not only did she want to take away the money in her bank card, she even wanted to kill her so that she could get insurance compensation smoothly when she learned that she was alive.

There is such a vicious mother in this world?! Su Wantong is too miserable! No wonder her recent music style seems to have changed a bit, a bit bohemian, especially poignant.

Wan Tong also received contact from the police, saying that no trace of Li Xu had been found yet. Su Fang also denied what she had done, insisted that she was framed, and asked to meet Wan Tong.

Wan Tong didn’t go to see Su Fang because she was busy.

Although Su Fang did not admit it, but there are various evidences pointing to her, she will still be detained as a suspect.

Su Ruojing didn’t come to look for Wan Tong again, and Wan Tong was also happy and in peace.

——

The recording of “Idol Training Camp” is about to start. The night before Shen Bu entered the camp, Wan Tong nervously packed his luggage for him, still muttering, “A’Bu, after you go in, remember to take good care of yourself. You can come to me if you are in trouble, you know?”

“En.” Shen Bu imitated her, sat cross-legged beside her, and whispered, “Will you come often?”

Wan Tong is a vocal tutor, so she doesn’t have to stay in the training camp all day except for the necessary class time.

This also means that he may not see her for a long time.

“Well, I will go to see you, but remember to pretend that you don’t know me, otherwise others will gossip about you.” Wan Tong instructed again.

Shen Bu pursed his lips and didn’t say anything, but there seemed to be more gloom between his brows and eyes.

Wan Tong checked his suitcase again before closing it.

She got up and patted him on the shoulder, “Jiayou2, I’ll wait for your debut.”

“You really want me to debut?” Shen Bu asked suddenly, staring at her with dark eyes.

During these days, she took the time to give him vocal lessons every day, and even hired many professional teachers for him. She seemed to really want him to make his debut through this reality show.

“Yeah, don’t you want to? When you become popular in the entertainment industry and become top-notch, remember to take care of your sister.” Wan Tong smiled and blinked her eyes slightly, as if she had imagined the day when he would become popular.

Shen Bu looked up at the brilliance flowing in her eyes, his throat was dry, and he nodded after a while, “Okay.”

As she said, he will become top-notch and become…her reliance.

Wan Tong was very satisfied with Shen Bu’s answer.

“Good boy.” She couldn’t help but reached out and rubbed his short black hair, then turned around and walked out with her little hands behind her back, humming a cheerful tune casually.

Shen Bu’s eyes were fixed on her back, and he put his palm on the top of his head, feeling that the gentle force was still going on, making his heart beat wildly.

The next morning, Shen Bu set off first.

At noon, Wan Tong took her assistant Xiao Yu to the recording site, and asked Xiao Cen to go back first.

The training camp was noisy, after Wan Tong put on her makeup, she exchanged greetings with the other four instructors, and then went out together.

The producer representative of “Idol Training Camp” is Zhuang Yu, a first-line artist in the industry today. He is young, but has super professional ability, and he has a perfect sense of singing, dancing and acting.

The original owner had worked with Zhuang Yu before, and the two had a similar temperament, they were kind of friends.

The recording was in progress, and when Wan Tong entered the venue, she saw a room full of fresh meat3 standing up.

She glanced over and saw Shen Bu at first sight.

Different from the excited little fresh meats, Shen Bu was very serious, and when he met Wan Tong’s gaze, the corners of his slightly pursed mouth formed a gentle arc.

Wan Tong withdrew her gaze, secretly thinking that the boss is still very low-key, and he actually chose the first row, which is also the last row number.

But it was also because of this that after she took her seat, she could see him as soon as she turned her head.

The recording in this episode is a grade evaluation. All trainees are asked to form a group or perform a one-minute program individually. The instructor will give five grades of A, B, C, D, and F according to their comprehensive ability.

Among the five tutors, there are two rap tutors and two dance tutors, only Wan Tong is a music tutor, so Wan Tong has to speak and comment on almost every performance.

At first, Wan Tong still thought it was fresh, and because of little fresh meats’ appearance, she was merciful, which also attracted Zhuang Yu’s jokes.

“Wantong, calm your eyes, or do you want to go on stage and have a chorus with them?”

At this time, the two trainees who had just finished singing on the field smiled shyly. They were wearing white uniforms and looked like little angels.

Wan Tong coughed lightly, held his chin and seemed to think about it, and finally smiled, “Ah, how could it be so explosive at the beginning?”

After a pause, she said with great interest, “You really look alike, aren’t you twins?”

Both boys shook their heads, with warm smiles on their faces.

Wan Tong couldn’t help but look a few more times, but suddenly felt a thorn in her back.

She didn’t care, and followed other tutors to give her own evaluation.

The two trainees both got grade B, which is considered a very high evaluation.

But later, after watching a few more performances, Wan Tong felt that their level was getting worse and worse, and gradually the smile on her face disappeared.

Only half of the people on the field were not assessed, but none of them got grade A.

Now even Zhuang Yu’s smile was restrained, and the expression on his face was very serious.

Wan Tong took a sip of water, but suddenly saw four trainees from Zhongheng Entertainment coming up, and the one standing on the far right was Shen Bu!

She immediately straightened her body, resting her chin on her hands and staring ahead.

“Hey, Wan Tong, you’re being a nympho again.” Zhuang Yu next to her couldn’t help but tease again.

Wan Tong gave him a cross-eyed look, as if she had admitted it, and let out a “huh hum” tenderly.

Not only Zhuang Yu, but also the other instructors were amused, and their expressions were a little gentler.

In this way, the serious atmosphere in the air dissipated a lot, and the tense trainees also relaxed a little.

1 The raw is 拼命十三娘 (pīnmìng shísān niáng) which literally means desperate thirteen mothers. It didn’t make any sense and browsing didn’t give me any result, but I found a similar Chinese buzzword 拼命三娘 (pīnmìng sān niáng) which refers to a serious and dedicated female star who has a very heavy workload and does not delay the progress. I guess the author refers to the same thing but exaggerated it since 三(sān) means three and 十三(shísān) means thirteen.

2 Chinese version of Japanese’s “ganbatte” and Korean’s “hwaiting/fighting”.

3 Fresh meat = Usually used to describe young and handsome boy
