Chapter 6: Unexpectedly Selected
Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Unfortunately, things did not progress as Xia Ling hoped. When they released the selection list for the MV filming, her name was top of the list.

Xia Ling gaped in astonishment together with everybody else in the training camp, with the exception of Luo Luo who was busy being happy for her.

Some suspected that it was unfair selection through behind-the-scenes means, and kicked up a fuss in Tan Ying’s office. Tan Ying simply threw them a single sentence. “Wei Shaoyin personally picked her. If you want to kick up a fuss, go look for Wei Shaoyin.”

It was only then that Xia Ling found out that the man wearing Patek Philippe that day was Wei Shaoyin—Skyart Entertainment’s chief music producer. In the entertainment industry, he was on par with Feng Kun, her exclusive producer in her past life. Together, they were regarded as the two gems of the industry.

Apparently, he was in charge of producing Shen Manyao’s new song and MV.

Xia Ling was baffled. Wei Shaoyin was extremely expensive to hire, many A-listers were unable to hire him to produce their songs. Why was he willing to produce for a second-rate female singer? Not only so, but his musical style was also renowned to be graceful and slow, completely different from Shen Manyao’s seductive, glamorous style. How did these two opposite poles get entwined in the same picture?

Yet, this solved the mystery of Xia Ling being selected. Everyone had chosen to dance glamorously, why did she choose to dance gracefully? However, she was still confused. Even if she had chosen the right style to dance, her dancing was still mediocre at the very best. It seemed highly unlikely that Wei Shaoyin, who was typically known to be picky and selective, would be impressed.

No one dared to question Wei Shaoyin. Hence, all the anger in the training camp was redirected at Xia Ling.

Everyone agreed that there were many others in the camp who were able to dance the graceful steps better than Xia Ling, she was simply lucky this time. Those who failed to be selected called her despicable behind her back. Even those who were chosen would openly declare that they did not care to be in the same team as her as if this would make them appear to have the moral high ground.

Xia Ling ignored all these rumblings.

Until a particular incident.

On that day, Xia Ling went to the cultural classroom for her lesson as per normal. There, she found that someone had poured an entire bottle of ink on her table. The table, chair, and floor were a mess. Everyone in the classroom was watching her, waiting to see what she would do.

She took a took breath and asked, “Who did this? Own up now.”

Everyone laughed.

Some sneered. “Ye Xingling, aren’t you a prophet? Try guessing who did this since you were so accurate in guessing who the examiner would be.”

Xia Ling gave a cold smile, “You were not good enough to be selected so you decided to do something like this in secret.” Pausing, she added, “A bunch of good-for-nothings.” In her past life, according to her sister Xia Yu, this arrogant attitude of hers was the most hateful. Indeed, she saw an immediate effect.

As expected, someone stood up opposite her, saying angrily, “What did you say?!”

“Ha, am I wrong?”

“Ye Xingling, stop being so cocky. Lu Tao was also selected this time, and he was third place in the examination. That’s much better than your 20th place!” Someone shouted out at her.
