"Of course." These were Jennie's last words after seeing Luo Sheng that night. Afterwards, she was forcefully dragged back to Hyatt Regency by Lisa.

Tomorrow was the day of Xing Lan's competition. It was also the day that Jennie - the boss of Superstar Media - planned to make a high profile comeback.

Starting from the top 100, the rules of the competition changed, including the introduction of a uniform.

In this round, the contestants were split into groups of 5. From there, they would be ranked from highest to lowest and only the top 3 would advance directly to the next round. The remaining two contestants would either be eliminated or given further consideration.

The last four places was for the sake of any ties in ranking or if the judges came across someone that they thought were too good to be eliminated. In short, there would be two rounds of elimination.

The contestants this year were relatively balanced; nothing out of the ordinary happened, except for Xing Lan.

Therefore, everyone looked at Xing Lan with hostility. Especially those that were in the same group as her.

She obviously didn't need to be here...

"I don't know why you insist on participating in this competition, but if I was in your position, I would also want to win properly."

"Although all the agencies claim that you are talented and have the ability to become famous, you've never won a trophy. If one day, you become a thing of the past, this could be used as an excuse to get rid of you," a girl in the same group as Xing Lan said with a smile.

Xing Lan was a little surprised. She never expected someone to understand her.

Looking at the girl again, Xing Lan noticed that she had a small stature and a pure look in her eyes. From her experience as a teacher, Xing Lan could tell that this girl couldn't possibly be a bad person.

"Hello, I look forward to your performance," Xing Lan followed with a smile.

But, she was quickly ridiculed by others...

"I thought you were smart. Can't you tell that she is sucking up to you?"

"Then again, there's no reason for her to do that. After all, you simply belong to a small agency..."

"Exactly..."

Small agency?!

Xing Lan laughed to herself. If these people were to find out who the boss of this 'small agency' was, they would probably go crazy.

"I heard that there will be a special guest in the audience tonight."

"Do you know who it is?"

"I'm not sure. I simply overheard the director talking as I walked past his waiting room."

"Even it's a big shot, it has nothing to do with us."

After Xing Lan heard everyone talk, her expression remained unfazed and disinterested. After all, Jennie had not told anyone that she'd be attending tonight, so it was normal for them to think that a big boss of a music agency was here to scout for some fresh faces. They had no idea that Jennie's appearance would cause a huge commotion.

Why?

Because everywhere she went turned into a miracle.

Meanwhile, tonight was the night that the battle truly began. Finally, everyone began to reveal their true strengths. It turned out that Xing Lan wasn't the only one that had been holding back on her true abilities. Fortunately, she had listened to Jennie and not exposed herself, otherwise, she would be buried beneath the surprises today.
