The meaningful look in his eyes was filled with love and yearning.
“My confidence comes from the fact that I have an invincible husband,” Emma replied proudly. “You are the King of Entertainment, so I must become the undisputed Queen. That way, we can protect the kingdom that we have both strived to maintain.”
“What about these two rascals?” Eric asked as he looked down at the little brat in his arms that was currently nibbling on his shirt.
“Their our sons. So, obviously, they can do whatever they want…”
…
Meanwhile, Xing Lan skyrocketed in fame because of the incident.
This was a result that was completely beyond what Xing Lan expected. However, it was all thanks to Emma’s careful planning behind-the-scenes, otherwise, Xing Lan would still be a music teacher that was being blackmailed.
Xing Lan was aware that many agencies had come looking for her, both openly and secretly, to sign contracts because Lin Qian did not keep them a secret and placed every single contract in front of her.
“You currently have a good thing going. If you want to sign with another agency, you are welcome to look at these contracts.”
But, Xing Lan did not look at a single one of them and directly brushed them aside, “Emma gave me a second chance at life, so it’s only right for me to stick with her.”
“You need to think it over. According to Emma’s instructions, she wants you to continue with the competition and take the winner’s throne. That’s the best way to prove yourself.”
“I’ve thought it over too. I don’t want to take any shortcuts and miss such a good opportunity to show what I’ve got,” Xing Lan replied confidently.
“Good. Then from now on, you should focus on the next round of the competition,” Lin Qian nodded.
“I will try my best.”
Afterwards, Xing Lan returned to the competition. But, due to her accumulated popularity, there were reporters everywhere she went.
When the other contestants saw this, they did not look pleased. After all, she had caused such a huge stir, so her popularity was bound to be higher than everyone else. Wasn’t this unfair to the other contestants?
In response, some of the contestants even teamed up to complain to the organizers.
But, Xing Lan did not break any rules, so it was unreasonable for the organizers to request for her withdrawal from the competition.
“She already has the opportunity to sign with a good agency. Why is she still competing with us?”
“I know, right? Is she trying to show that she’s hardworking?”
“Does she really think she can win first place?”
“I’ve never seen someone as selfish as her…”
Xing Lan couldn’t understand why everyone looked at her weirdly. All she knew was, she suddenly felt that they bad intentions towards her because their gazes were filled with ridicule and judgment, which made her very uncomfortable.
“Xing Lan, we heard that you didn’t accept the offers from some well-known agencies. Why? Are they not good enough for you?” One of the contestants asked Xing Lan during a meeting with the producers. “Everyone thinks you already have the ability to debut. So, why are you still struggling here with everyone else?”
“My agency is Superstar Media. I have no intention to change.”
“But no one’s heard of them.”
Xing Lan smiled without giving an explanation.
As a result, the conversation soon turned into one about Xing Lan disregarding invites from agencies and how she assumed she’d rank highly in the competition.
“This Xing Lan is quite arrogant!”
“I don’t know what she’s so arrogant about. After this phase is over, she will simply be a normal contestant.”
Soon, news of Xing Lan acting arrogant before debuting began to circulate.
The media could not find a chance to interview Xing Lan about this, but they heard many rumors and thought they knew everything about her.
During this time, even though Xing Lan was still in the midst of rumors, the 100 to 64 elimination round quickly crept up on everyone.
Even so, Emma did not ask Lin Qian to rectify the rumors. After all, a bigger piece of news was about to be released.
However, before this was to happen, Emma asked Lisa to arrange a meeting with Luo Sheng.
Caring for one person and losing sight of another was not Emma’s style.
Even though, in reality, Luo Sheng did not feel it was unfair that Emma placed more focus on Xing Lan. After all, he had discovered where he belonged.
But, he was still very excited when he saw Emma.
“Emma, I am who I am today because of you. Although I am just a secondary lead, I’ve already secured some big contracts myself. They will be announced to the public soon. I will fight hard for you!”
“I like this feeling of working earnestly and not depending on others. Plus, I’ve discovered that acting is quite addictive. Don’t worry, even if I don’t reach your level, I will still treat you as my goal and put in my best efforts.”
“Soon, everyone in the world will know of Superstar Media. They will know that we only accept the best and not just anyone.”
Emma’s words ignited Luo Sheng’s motivation even further, because he knew that Emma only accepted those that were talented but had no fate with fame.
Emma gave second chances to those that thought their career was already over!
“I have faith that Superstar Media will go down in the history books just like Kaleidoscope.”
“Of course.” These were Emma’s last words after seeing Luo Sheng that night. Afterwards, she was forcefully dragged back to Hyatt Regency by Eric.
Tomorrow was the day of Xing Lan’s competition. It was also the day that Emma – 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 s**king 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 exp**ssion remained unfazed and disinterested. After all, Emma 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 Emma’s appearance would cause a huge commotion.
