Previously when they were lining up for food, Lin Shanchu noticed that Xia Jinmeng purposely queued behind her.
There was only one person between the two of them.
Therefore, Xia Jinmeng could clearly see what dishes Lin Shanchu chose.
Xia Jinmeng had been doing this kind of thing more than once recently.
Lin Shanchu was very satisfied with Xia Jinmeng’s diligence and hardworking attitude.
This was also Xia Jinmeng’s greatest strength.
Among the dancers, Xia Jinmeng’s physical condition was lacking. A large part of why she stood out among the idols was because of her hard work. Unfortunately, a lot of people were the type to be unwilling to take the necessary steps forward, little by little.
Xia Jinmeng was one of them.
Tang Qidai was also no exception.
However, they were fundamentally different from each other.
At least Xia Jinmeng knew that killing small animals was wrong.
Lin Shanchu’s scrutinizing gaze made Xia Jinmeng feel inexplicably uneasy.
She didn’t know if it was because of its psychological effect, but she just felt that Lin Shanchu’s gaze was terrifying.
Xia Jinmeng quickly slurped down her soup and left with her tray.
She couldn’t afford to offend that crazy woman another time before she successfully took Tang Qidai’s position.
Xia Jinmeng left the cafeteria alone.
Before she could walk far, a staff member approached her.
“Xia Jinmeng, the director is looking for you.”
The male staff member had a familiar low voice.
Xia Jinmeng turned around abruptly and said, “Jiang Ziyu?”
Jiang Ziyu’s had a faint smile on his kind, honest face, “Don’t make the director wait. ”
“What does the director want with me?” Xia Jinmeng became wary of him.
The person in charge of this talent show was very cautious.
Apart from matters relating to the official recordings, male staff members weren’t allowed to enter the trainees’ living area alone.
If the production crew had any matters they wished to inform the contestants about, they would also arrange for designated staff members to communicate with them.
More importantly, Jiang Ziyu was Tang Qidai’s lackey so his intentions couldn’t be trusted.
Jiang Ziyu replied, “You’ll know when you go.”
Xia Jinmeng followed him skeptically.
When they arrived at the director’s office door, Jiang Ziyu thoughtfully opened it for Xia Jinmeng.
Xia Jinmeng peered in and said, “Director—ah!”
Jiang Ziyu suddenly pushed her inside from behind.
He closed the door behind him, using his body to block the door handle.
Xia Jinmeng realized she had been tricked by Jiang Ziyu and was furious,
“Didn’t you say the director was looking for me?!”
Jiang Ziyu slowly grinned, “The director has gone to a meeting.”
“Move aside.” Xia Jinmenq could alreadv the reason whv Jianq Zivu had
tricked her into coming here.
Jiang Ziyu was their kindergarten classmate. They had known each other for so many years, but Tang Qidai had always been the only person in his eyes.
Jiang Ziyu would do anything for Tang Qidai.
This time, Jiang Ziyu had taken the initiative to look for Xia Jinmeng, which meant that Tang Qidai must have come up with a new plan to deal with Lin Shanchu.
However, her stance had changed. Lin Shanchu was no longer her enemy, Tang Qidai was.
She would never help Tang Qidai.
Jiang Ziyu still wouldn’t budge from the door as he said, “Daidai hopes that you can help her one last time.”
It was indeed Tang Qidai again!
“I just want to focus on the competition right now, nothing else.”
“Daidai said that she would be very grateful to you.”
“If you don’t let me out, I’ll call for help!”
Seeing Xia Jinmeng’s unyielding attitude and unwillingness to cooperate, the smile on Jiang Ziyu’s face gradually disappeared.
“What are you calling for? To let them see a female idol having sex with a male staff member?”
Xia Jinmeng’s expression changed drastically, and she staggered backward.
“Jiang Ziyu, we’ve known each other for so many years. Have I ever done anything to hurt you?”
“No, you haven’t.”
“Then why are you doing this to me?”
“As long as you’re willing to help Daidai, we can still be friends.” Xia Jinmeng moved her lips, but nothing came out of her mouth.
Friends?
What a joke!
Jiang Ziyu had threatened to ruin her just to help Tang Qidai.
And Tang Qidai would only come over and bark orders at her when she needed her help.
What kind of friends are they?
“Jiang Ziyu, wake up! Even if you dig your heart out and give it to Tang Qidai, you would still just be an obedient dog in her eyes. She won’t like you at all!”
Jiang Ziyu’s expression turned gloomy, “It doesn’t matter. As long as she’s happy.”
Lunatic!
She was surrounded by lunatics.
Lin Shanchu included.
Jiang Ziyu was not about to give up.
Xia Jinmeng knew that if she didn’t agree to Jiang Ziyu’s request today, she would never leave this place.
“What does Tang Qidai want me to do?”
“After the recording tomorrow, bring Lin Shanchu to the director’s office.”
“What for?”
“You don’t have to worry about the rest.”
Xia Jinmeng only wanted to get out of the room as soon as possible, so she didn’t ask any more questions, “Alright.”
“Mengmeng, I believe that you will do what you say.” Jiang Ziyu revealed an honest smile.
Xia Jinmeng pushed Jiang Ziyu away with a cold face, opened the door, and quickly left.
The moment she was out of the office, she sped away.
She wished she could grow wings and just fly away immediately.
When Tang Qidai approached her before to ask to join forces against Lin Shanchu, she would have at least said a few words in irony just to win her over.
But this time, Tang Qidai actually had Jiang Ziyu threaten her.
She was determined to achieve her goal at all costs.
It seemed that Tang Qidai had been driven to a corner and was ready to go after Lin Shanchu.
As for Jiang Ziyu, what he planned to do after bringing Lin Shanchu to the director’s office wasn’t a hard guess.
Tang Qidai had been vicious since she was a child, so she would naturally use the worst methods to deal with Lin Shanchu.
If Xia Jinmeng didn’t help Lin Shanchu, Jiang Ziyu would definitely come after her.
There was no point in hiding. That lunatic Jiang Ziyu would always find a way.
But dealing with Lin Shanchu wasn’t so easy either…
Xia Jinmeng only felt a sense of relief after she arrived at the crowded training area.
They couldn’t start training immediately after eating, so the trainees were all resting in the public area.
As usual, Lin Shanchu stood out among the crowd.
Xia Jinmeng spotted her at a glance.
Although she also sat cross-legged on the ground and wore the same uniform as the other trainees, she had a more refined temperament than the others.
Once all their phones got taken away, everyone went back to more traditional forms of entertainment.
Someone had brought marbles. They didn’t know who, but regardless, everyone was having a great time playing with them.
Someone tugged at Lin Shanchu, who was watching from the sidelines, and said, “Sister, come and give it a try.”
Caught up in the atmosphere, Lin Shanchu held an eager expression, “I’m not familiar with it though.”
They asked Lin Shanchu, “You didn’t play this when you were a child?” Lin Shanchu paused for a moment before saying, “No, I never played.”
It was a little unfortunate.
During most of her childhood, Lu Shiyuan was there.
And Lu Shiyuan wouldn’t play with these things at all.
Others also realized this and just gave her a warm smile.
“It’s quite simple,” Yun Wu picked up a marble and flicked it accurately onto another.
Then, she took the one that was hit and handed it to Lin Shanchu.
Lin Shanchu was a little surprised that Yun Wu, the little princess of a rich family, played these kinds of mini-games before.
Was she the only one who had such a boring childhood?
Yun Wu saw her confusion and explained, “I played all kinds of games when I was young.”
She had such a fulfilling childhood..
