Chapter 106: Thanking Myself For My Beauty. I've Worked Too Hard

Fortunately, Shi Xu came back in time and stopped their conversation.
"Brother!" When Shi Xi saw Shi Xu, her eyes curved. "I came back to pack my things. I'm going to Yanjing today."
"Isn't the recording tomorrow?" Shi Xu frowned and asked, "Why are you leaving today?"
"Yes, they asked me to come earlier tonight. The recording will start tomorrow." Shi Xi shook his arm. "I won't wait for Mom and Dad. You can tell them."
Shi Xu ruffled Shi Xi's hair. "Are you afraid that Mom and Dad will say that you dyed your hair?"
Shi Xi stuck out her tongue.
Although Shi Xi's parents did not object to her dying her hair, seeing such an outstanding hair color, the conservative middle-aged people still felt a little conflicted.
"Go ahead. I'll get the driver to send you to the airport later." Shi Xu's eyes were full of affection for his younger sister.
"There's no need. Han Chuan will pick me up later," Shi Xi said, "I'll go upstairs and tidy up first!"
Watching his sister jumping up and down the stairs, Shi Xu turned to look at Xie Yunzhou and said helplessly, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
"No problem." Xie Yunzhou looked upstairs. "Why is Shi Xi going to Yanjing?"
"To record a program." Shi Xu smiled gently and did not elaborate.
Shi Xi was in his company, so he would naturally protect her well and not let her get hurt.
......
Xie Yunzhou retracted his gaze.
He would investigate the details that Shi Xu was unwilling to reveal.
*
After Shi Xi packed her things, she set off on the road to Yanjing.
She was definitely going to debut in the C slot for this stop!
For this, Shi Xi even watched all the talent shows and decided to nurture herself into a vase person who worked hard and made progress.
She was so good-looking, her family had some money, and the company had some influence.
She would buy a few more trending searches and let Shi Xu hold them up.
Wasn't the C spot a sure thing?
Shi Xi was dreaming.
On the way to Yanjing, Shi Xi had already dreamed of herself winning the C spot and giving a speech on stage.
"Thank you, Mom and Dad, thank you, Brother, thank you, Sister, thank you for my own beauty. I worked too hard."
"Wake up, we're in Yanjing." Han Chuan nudged Shi Xi and pulled her down from the C seat.
Shi Xi rubbed her eyes and said tiredly, "We're here?"
"Okay, I can only stay here with you for two days." Han Chuan said seriously, "After you're on the show, remember to be careful with your words and actions. Don't let others catch you."
Shi Xi nodded. "Don't worry, I won't say anything."
Han Chuan looked at Shi Xi's hair color and wanted to say something, but he stopped himself.
Shi Xi's hair color was too outstanding. It was quite good to walk through the airport with her mesmerizing face.
"Let's take the VIP channel," Han Chuan said regretfully. "Put on a mask."
This recording had to be kept a secret. They could not lose the big one for the small one.
The two of them left through the VIP channel and were not caught by the paparazzi at the airport.
However, after avoiding the paparazzi, they bumped into two men they did not know.
The man in white stared at the side of Shi Xi's face and stopped in his tracks.
The other man in black asked, "What are you looking at?"
"That person seems to be Auntie."
"Auntie?" The man in black turned around and saw a head of pink hair. He said speechlessly, "Are you talking about that person with pink hair? Would Auntie be so trendy to dye a three-dimensional pink hair?"
"Maybe she just looks like her."
"Auntie's hair isn't that long."
"Maybe it's a wig?"
"Shut up, Auntie is calling!" The man in black picked up the phone and ended the conversation.
Auntie called and softly expressed her concern before hanging up.
The man in white could not help but say, "It really looks like her."
The man in black said, "I think you look like a r*tard too."

Chapter 107: Was All About Girls. Where Was the Opposite S*x

When Shi Xi arrived at the hotel, the crew came to greet her. They delivered drinks and led the way. They were extremely attentive to Shi Xi.
After entering the hotel elevator, Shi Xi asked, "Are the other trainees staying here as well?"
Before the recording, the trainees would stay in the hotel temporarily. Then, they would go to the recording location on the day of the recording.
The staff member said, "Yes, they usually stay on the 14th to 15th floors, while you stay on the 16th floor."
Shi Xi: Special treatment.
The C spot was secured.
Although she did not know who helped her get through the connections behind the scenes, thank you.
"I'll do a good job recording, thank you." Shi Xi took the room card and realized that she was still in a single room, which made her even happier.
Was this the treatment of being rich and powerful?
It was way too happy!
Han Chuan reminded her a few more times. The gist of it was to let her perform well in the show. She should speak human language to others and nonsense to ghosts.
"Also, don't get too close to the opposite s*x," Han Chuan said seriously.
Shi Xi wanted to say that the show was full of girls, so there was no opposite s*x. Then she thought that the mentor was probably a man, so she said, "Don't worry, I definitely won't seek death."
......
Han Chuan nodded. "Then you rest first. I'll go and talk to the director. If you have any problems, call me."
Shi Xi waved her hand casually. "Goodbye, Brother Han."
When it was time for dinner, Shi Xi wanted to go to the hotel's restaurant for dinner and meet her future friends in advance.
However, the waiter brought over dinner, disrupting Shi Xi's pace.
Shi Xi could only put on a face mask to prepare for the upcoming tough battle.
The next day.
Shi Xi woke up early in the morning to put on makeup and change.
She was going to set off at 9 o'clock, and Shi Xi packed up at 8:30.
Perfect!
She would go to the restaurant for breakfast, and then she could set off immediately!
There was a knock on the door. Shi Xi thought it was Han Chuan, so she opened the door.
"Xie, Xie Yunzhou?" Shi Xi looked at the person outside the door and said in surprise, "Why are you here?"
"To bring you breakfast." Xie Yunzhou carried the breakfast bag in his hand and said, "Also, to bring you the bracelet that you want glued."
Shi Xi turned to let him in and said with some guilt, "It's just a small matter. I'm sorry to trouble you to come personally."
No, wasn't Xie Yunzhou in Feng City?
"When did you come to Yanjing?" Shi Xi asked in surprise.
"Last night." When Xie Yunzhou saw the girl's expression, he guessed what she was thinking and said, "I came to Yanjing on a business trip."
"Is that so..." Shi Xi did not doubt him.
Father Shi or Shi Xu would also go on a business trip for three to five days or a week at a time. The timing was uncertain.
"Let's eat first." Xie Yunzhou placed the breakfast on the table. It was the xiao long bao and soybean milk that Shi Xi liked to eat and drink.
Shi Xi sat down and her beautiful big eyes curved. "Thank you! Then I won't stand on ceremony!"
Xie Yunzhou was Shi Xu's friend, and Shi Xu was her brother.
Then Xie Yunzhou could be considered her brother!
Xie Yunzhou sat opposite Shi Xi and had breakfast with her.
Shi Xi asked, "How long will you be in Yanjing?"
"About half a month." Xie Yunzhou asked, "What about you? How long will you be filming?"
"I'm not sure yet. At least a month?" Shi Xi calculated the time.
Even if it was a round of elimination, it should still be able to last for a month.
Xie Yunzhou replied, "If there's anything, you can look for me."
Shi Xu was far away in Feng City and was not as close as he was.
Shi Xi nodded. "Alright, alright!"
If she could gain the favor of a big shot villain, she would be more than happy to do so!
After breakfast, Xie Yunzhou returned Shi Xi's bracelet. "Your bracelet has been repaired."
Shi Xi took the bracelet and her mouth twitched.
Was this the cheap bracelet that she had spent 15 yuan on?!
How did the street goods become real in just one night?!

The simple bracelet had been 'repaired' by Xie Yunzhou for a day, and now it had changed its appearance.
The plastic bracelet turned into a bright silver color, with broken diamonds dangling from it. The pink diamond in the middle turned into a real pink diamond. It was crystal clear under the sunlight, shining with a dazzling light.
"This is my bracelet?" Shi Xi couldn't believe her eyes.
"Yes." Xie Yunzhou didn't even blink his eyes and said, "It's just a little something added."
'How is this a little something added?'
'Other than this plastic bag that I gave you, everything else is added!'
Shi Xi said with a complicated feeling, "Is there a mistake?"
"No, that diamond of yours isn't shiny enough, so I gave you another one." Xie Yunzhou asked, "Shall I help you put it on?"
Shi Xi reached out her hand. "Thank you."
Xie Yunzhou untied the clasp of the bracelet, adjusted the position of the bracelet, and put it on her.
Looking at the man who was very close to her, Shi Xi smelled the faint scent of sandalwood on his body. It was a very faint scent.
Was it his sandalwood bracelet?
Shi Xi stared at Xie Yunzhou's wrist.
......
"Shi Xi, it's time to go downstairs - sorry, I didn't see anything." Han Chuan pushed the door open and entered. He saw Shi Xi and a man leaning against each other.
The two of them looked intimate, as if they were kissing.
Han Chuan turned around with great discernment.
"It's fine even if you see it." Shi Xi waved her hand. "He's putting a bracelet on me."
When Xie Yunzhou lowered his head to put the bracelet on the girl just now, it did indeed look like he was lowering his head to kiss her.
Han Chuan looked at Xie Yunzhou and then at Shi Xi.
"Go and record." Xie Yunzhou raised his hand to rub Shi Xi's hair. "I'm going to work."
Shi Xi did not avoid his big hand. She hurriedly went to the bathroom to check if her hair was messy.
When she came out again, Xie Yunzhou had already left.
"What's your relationship with him?" Han Chuan had a complicated look in his eyes.
"Ah?" Shi Xi was confused. "Me and Xie Yunzhou?"
Han Chuan glanced at the breakfast on the table. It was obvious that it was for two people. He asked, "Were you together last night?"
"You're thinking too much." Shi Xi said helplessly, "He came on a business trip and gave me a bracelet on the way."
Han Chuan was still looking at the breakfast on the table. "He also gave you breakfast on the way?"
"Probably?" Shi Xi didn't understand why Xie Yunzhou was so nice to her. "Maybe he's trying to curry favor with me because he's working with my brother?"
Thinking about Xie Yunzhou's recent behavior, Shi Xi nodded and said thoughtfully, "Probably."
"Forget it. Let's go to the recording studio first. Don't let them wait." Han Chuan decided not to think too much about it.
As long as Shi Xi was not in the mood to fall in love, it would be fine.
Shi Xi followed behind Han Chuan and got into the car that was going to the recording studio.
In the car, Shi Xi was still thinking about the dance that she was going to perform on her first stage.
She had already gotten used to it in the dance studio. There was no way she would make a mistake.
She had to perform a stunning dance!
She would never be a vase!
The car stopped and Shi Xi got out of the car. She held her head high and puffed out her chest as she strode into the recording studio.
A staff member led the way and brought Shi Xi to a separate dressing room to do her hair and makeup.
When Shi Xi saw this small dressing room, she asked, "Am I alone?"
The makeup artist smiled and said, "The director has instructed that this dressing room is for you to use alone."
Shi Xi: ...Isn't the treatment too good?
Could she be from the legendary royal family?
She won't be scolded, right?
As Shi Xi thought of this, she suddenly felt a little guilty.
After redoing her makeup and hair, Shi Xi looked at herself in the mirror, unable to take her eyes off her.
The girl in the mirror was really too beautiful!

Chapter 109: Pray For the Ladies In the Same Group To Be Beautiful and Generous, To Sing and Dance Beautifully, To Do Less Work and To Earn More Money

The pink curly hair was braided with silver threads from both sides, looking shiny and pink. The diamond hair clip was pinned to the side, making the entire person look even more dazzling.
There was a few strands of hair on the forehead, making the girl's skin look like snow. Her big beautiful eyes moved around, looking around with a brilliant light.
The makeup artist nodded in satisfaction and asked, "Miss Shi, do you need to make any more changes?"
Shi Xi took a few beautiful selfies in front of the mirror and smiled. "There's no need to make any more changes. You should go and see someone else."
This makeup artist was really amazing!
"Miss Shi, I'm your exclusive makeup artist. I'll only make up for you." The makeup artist smiled and introduced himself. "My name is He Yujie."
If it was Han Chuan, he would naturally recognize that the person in front of him was a well-known magician makeup artist in the industry.
After He Yujie introduced himself, he was already prepared to listen to Shi Xi's compliments.
He was the makeup artist that was the hardest to get an appointment with in the industry. Many people wanted to ask him to apply red carpet makeup at a high price, but he disdained them.
It was Shi Xi's honor to be able to apply makeup for Shi Xi.
However, Shi Xi knew nothing about this. She smiled faintly and said, "Thank you. Your makeup skills are really good!"
He Yujie: That's it?
Not surprised? Not excited?
......
She didn't know him?
Even if she didn't know him, she must have heard of his name, right?
He Yujie looked at his hand and fell into deep thought.
Was he outdated?
At this moment, a staff member knocked on the door and said, "Miss Shi, it's time to prepare for the recording."
Shi Xi got up from her makeup chair and said, "Alright."
The staff member pointed the way for Shi Xi and said, "Walk from here to the end of the corridor. Just open the door and enter. There are cameras and machines inside."
Shi Xi nodded. During this period of time, she had watched all the domestic and international talent shows. She would definitely display her most beautiful side!
She held her head high and puffed out her chest, lifting her chin slightly.
Shi Xi pushed the door confidently.
Why couldn't she push it?
Shi Xi pushed it twice again, then looked at the doorknob on top and pulled it open.
The door was pulled open.
Shi Xi: "..."
The program team actually posted a push-and-pull notification!
Shi Xi composed her expression and walked in. She discovered that it wasn't a large-scale recording studio. There was no stage, and there weren't a hundred chairs.
There was only a round table, five chairs, and a display screen.
Shi Xi: Huh?
'Are we going to split the teams now?'
Shi Xi knew that the talent show was similar, but every year's talent show directors would come up with new ideas, adding to the rules or appearing on the stage.
Calm down. She couldn't act too ignorant.
Shi Xi walked to the table and asked, "Can I sit?"
No one answered.
There was only the sound of a machine recording.
Shi Xi guessed that they might have to be divided into groups in advance, the first stage group? Or a one-centimeter group?
Shi Xi: ...Hurry up and come and save me!
'I pray that the young ladies in the same group will be beautiful and generous, have excellent singing and dancing skills, and have more money and less work.'
Shi Xi sat down obediently.
The camera zoomed in, and the girl didn't have a single flaw in the camera.
720 degrees, no blind spots.
Behind the scenes.
The director looked at the screen and said with a sigh, "I'm willing to continue watching this face."
The editor nodded and agreed, "Although Shi Xi doesn't have any representative works, her popularity has always been high. All aspects of her data are very stable."
"I just don't know what her personality is like." The director picked up the pager and said, "You can let the others in now."
He couldn't let the beauty wait for too long.
Therefore, the staff let two people in.
Shi Xi was in a trance. When she heard the sound of the door being pulled open, she stood up politely and looked over.
"Hi, you guys-" Shi Xi smiled sweetly. When she saw that the two men had appeared, her eyes were filled with surprise. The "Hello" that she had not finished saying turned into, "Why are you here?"

Chapter 110: Turned Out To Be a Male Team
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The two who walked in through the door were not Shi Xi's dream girls, but two male artistes wearing strange clothes.
"Why are you guys here?" The girl's voice was soft and sweet, with a hint of disbelief.
After hearing Shi Xi's words, Zhang Yang, who was wearing earrings and dyed his blue hair, asked curiously, "Didn't they tell us to have a meeting here?"
"That's right." The other guy, who was a little fatter, looked very friendly. He smiled and said, "This should be the first time we've met, right? I'm Ai Yi. Just call me Ai."
"Shuo Nan." The boy wearing earrings and dyed his blue hair looked at Shi Xi's hair, deep in thought.
The corner of Shi Xi's mouth twitched slightly. "Shi Xi."
Although they had introduced themselves to each other, they both knew each other's existence. This was only the first time they had met.
Ai Yi stepped forward and smiled. "Have a seat first. There should be more people in a while."
There must be more people!
Shi Xi had read the script before and knew that the initiator this time was Shen Hanquan, the vocal music instructor Zheng Feicai, the dance instructor Shuo Nan, and that Zhang Yang boy with the earrings and dyed hair, and the rap instructor, Ai Yi.
But why were they in the same place as her?
No.
Shi Xi finally realized what was wrong.
......
If she was a contestant, how could she have gotten so much information from the script? How could she have a separate hotel room, a separate dressing room, and even a personal makeup artist?
Before Shi Xi could think further, the door was pulled open again, and two people walked in.
They were the initiator, Shen Hanquan, and the vocal music instructor Zheng Feicai.
"All the participants are here. Let's first take a look at the information of the trainees of [Star Idol]." After Shen Hanquan said that, the screen in the room instantly lit up.
On the screen was a resume of the trainees.
Shi Xi: "..."
This was so different from what she had imagined!
She was here for the talent show!
She was not here to be a teacher!
Everyone present was a senior with achievements in the industry. What did she have?
She only had beauty.
No, how did she have the qualifications to be a mentor!?
Shi Xi felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles.
But fortunately, she had seen a big scene before. She maintained the smile on her face and did not let anyone find anything wrong with her.
And when she saw the resumes on the screen, Shi Xi was even more disinterested.
It was actually a male team...
Shi Xi didn't know almost any of the people listed on it.
"Teacher Shi, do you know anything about male teams?"
Shi Xi was lost in thought when she was asked a question.
Shuo Nan looked at Shi Xi with a provocative smile in his eyes. "I heard that Teacher Shi has learned dance before. What dance did you learn?"
"Ballet." Shi Xi met Shuo Nan's eyes and asked with a smile, "What dance did Teacher Shuo learn?"
The corners of Shuo Nan's mouth curled up slightly, and his gaze was arrogant and unbridled. "I've come into contact with all kinds of dance styles." Otherwise, he would not have been able to become the dance teacher of a talent show at such a young age.
Shi Xi cursed inwardly at this person's narcissism!
He was even more narcissistic than she was!
"Ahem, let's continue looking at the resumes." The good old Ai Yi interrupted their conversation.
Ai Yi had a slightly chubby figure and a fleshy face. He often wore a kind smile and looked honest and steady.
The next person to appear was Pei Jie's resume.
Shi Xi's eyes lit up.
"Pei Jie, 20 years old. He is the captain of Flying Leap Boys and also a dancer." Shuo Nan read the information on the resume and said in a frivolous voice, "I know this person. He is quite hardworking and has a good dance."
Shi Xi thought to herself that he had a bad temper.
She had not expected him to appear in a variety show!
Moreover, Pei Jie had actually bumped into her hands!
The wheel of fortune had turned!
