Transmigrated into the body of a prematurely deceased beloved child

Chapter 397 We Will Eventually Form a Group! 31

Since Leyu Media had already uploaded all the trainees' debut audition videos online, fans clearly noticed that Xiao He was not among them, causing quite a stir.

A large group of fans online are demanding an explanation for Xiao He's situation, but Leyu Media's public relations efforts are lacking, and no news has been released for a long time. At the same time, rumors are circulating online that a new member will be joining Leyu and directly taking up a spot in the debut trainees.

This rumor only added fuel to the fire, and the fans were all outraged. Some even followed the information to their small, dilapidated building, and the entire company felt tense.

Every staff member is busy, but it's unclear what they're busy with, since none of the problems have been solved.

Zhao Zhao ran into her boss again today. He looked much more haggard. Before he could say anything, he noticed Zhao Zhao's smile and immediately said, "Xiao He will be back at the company this afternoon. You guys listen to our instructions and don't say anything out of line, understand?"

Upon hearing his words, Zhao Zhao's lips tightened, and her expression instantly turned cold. "What do you mean?"

Seeing his expression, Shan Le knew what he was thinking.

"It's just what it says. Don't worry, there won't be four debut spots anymore." He smiled helplessly. If there were still four debut spots, judging from the current online opinion, Cheng Sui'an, who suddenly appeared, would probably be torn to shreds by netizens.

Zhao Zhao breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but before she could ask anything else, Shan Le had already hurriedly left.

"I've got it. You guys better behave yourselves this afternoon."

After thinking for a moment, Shan Le, who had already walked away, turned back and repeated his instructions.

Zhao Zhao smiled at him and said, "Don't worry."

Xiao He had already told me last night that he would be coming to Leyu this afternoon, and even asked me what gift I wanted.

At that time, Yu Xingli was right next to him. Seeing Xiao He's incredibly thoughtfulness, he started making a fuss again, saying that he wanted Xiao He to bring him a gift as well.

Xiao He agreed, but he didn't come back specifically to bring them gifts.

In the afternoon, as soon as the appointed time arrived, Xiao He's luxury car immediately stopped in front of their small, run-down company. This time, he was no longer a trainee, and even the boss personally greeted him politely.

Even as a young boy, he was dressed in a formal suit, looking exceptionally formal.

Because the entire process was being filmed, Zhao Zhao and the others didn't act too recklessly; they simply hid by the door and watched as Xiao He was welcomed into the conference room by Shan Le.

Bai Siyi peeked out from behind the door and suddenly pointed to one side, asking, "Look over there, are those the gifts Xiao He gave us?"

Zhao Zhao followed his gaze and saw two formally dressed young men walking towards them, carrying several beautifully packaged gift boxes.

"I rely on!"

Next, a camera came over and filmed the scene.

"These are gifts prepared by Young Master Xiao He for you. I hope you like them." The young man walked towards them, smiling kindly at the bewildered trainees, and ostentatiously handed the gifts to them.

Perhaps to create a lively atmosphere, the staff on site even started to heckle, making them extremely embarrassed.

"Okay, thank you, Xiao He."

The group accepted the gifts, their faces flushing slightly under the gaze of so many people, especially with a camera shoved in their faces.

Well, all I can say is that this direct way of giving gifts is very much like Xiao He (a famous Chinese philosopher known for his ruthlessness).

Once Xiao He returned, Le Yu handled matters much more efficiently, and the online public relations campaign about Xiao He was launched immediately.

At the same time, Xiao He also recorded a video to explain to his fans the reasons for leaving Leyu.

He's barely gotten over this incident, but the fans are still making a huge fuss about the trainees who were suddenly brought in.

After leaving the meeting room, Xiao He stayed behind to have dinner with them, ostensibly to strengthen their bonds, which was quite down-to-earth.

While they were eating, cameras were set up next to them to record the meal.

The boss had told them to manage their expressions, but Yu Xingli agreed and then sat down with a resentful look on his face as he stared at Xiao He.

"Cough...cough," Qi Nanxing reminded him from outside the camera's view, reminding him to be mindful of his image.

Xiao He glanced at him indifferently, his expression blank, seemingly more composed than Yu Xingli. "Why are you looking at me? Go eat your food."

He sat in his usual spot and spoke to Yu Xingli in his usual infuriating tone.

As Yu Xingli watched, his face contorted slightly. He lowered his head, shoveled a mouthful of rice into his mouth, and said angrily without looking at him, "You damned liar."

The voice wasn't too loud or too soft. Upon hearing it, Zhao Zhao paused in her eating and muttered, "Liar."

The atmosphere became somewhat heavy. Xiao He looked at Zhao Zhao and then at Yu Xingli, opened his mouth, but didn't say anything more.

Qi Nanxing, standing to the side, was stamping his feet in dismay. Fortunately, Bai Siyi was grinning and eating heartily. Then he started to liven up the atmosphere by talking, which made the recording somewhat interesting.

Xiao He was a man of few words and didn't know how to comfort people. Besides, there were cameras following them the whole time, making them very uncomfortable. So after he finished eating and said a few words, he left, leaving a room full of people staring blankly at his back.

The staff looked at the camera at the recording location with a worried expression and asked Dan Le, "Boss, this farewell is too dry. The trainees are much colder than usual. It probably won't attract any attention online."

"Xiao He is too indifferent; I'm worried about netizens..."

Shan Le interrupted him, "Stop talking, let's just leave it at that."

Today's company meeting was entirely driven by business interests. Xiao He felt the atmosphere was awkward, so shortly after leaving, he sent them a message on his phone, saying that they would meet again sometime.

On his way home, Xiao He looked at the scenery rushing past the window, feeling empty inside. He felt he had lost so much by leaving them.

Similarly, everyone at Leyu Media, from trainees to staff, was reluctant to see him leave. But, well, regrets are a normal part of life.

.......

That evening, after taking a shower, Zhao Zhao picked up his phone and saw that Cheng Sui'an, whom he hadn't contacted in a long time, had suddenly sent him a message. He excitedly opened it, only to find a short message and a cute emoji.

[Cheng Sui'an: I'm back.]

Zhao Zhao jumped up excitedly as soon as she grabbed her phone. Bai Siyi, who had just returned from her dorm, grinned and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you so happy?"

Seeing Zhao Zhao running towards him, he immediately opened his arms, about to hug her, but saw her walk straight past him. "Yi Yi, I'll talk to you later."

He left only one sentence in a hurry.

"Hey, Zhao Zhao!" Bai Siyi chased after her and saw Zhao Zhao rush into the next room, hugging Yu Xingli and shouting excitedly, "Brother Xingxing! An'an is coming back!"

His face flushed with excitement, and Yu Xingli's eyes immediately lit up with surprise. "Hahahaha, really? I remember that brat told me last time that he wouldn't be coming back."

“An’an said it herself, so it must be true.”

Zhao Zhao took out her phone and showed him the chat history.

Bai Siyi watched from the side, looking completely bewildered. "What are you talking about?"

So Zhao Zhao and Yu Xingli told him Cheng Suian and their story together.

After hearing this, Bai Siyi also became interested in this Cheng sloth. "Good, good, good~ I want to see just how lazy this legendary Cheng sloth really is."

Zhao Zhao smiled too, casually scrolling through Cheng Sui'an's WeChat Moments, looking at the handsome photos of the grown-up boy, and said softly, "An'an has grown up. I wonder if he's still the same sleepyhead he used to be."

Yu Xingli nudged his shoulder and winked at him, "Don't worry, you'll see him soon."

......

It was obvious that Cheng Sui'an was the trainee that Leyu was rumored to be about to send in. When Shan Le gathered them together to prepare for the arrival of the new trainee, Wen Muqing was a little stunned, as was Zhou Zhiyan. In fact, he had already guessed who the new trainee would be, but when the day actually came, he still couldn't believe it.

They were unaware that the number of debut spots had increased, and naturally assumed that Cheng Sui'an's arrival meant none of them had a chance to debut.

Zhao Zhao noticed the two of them lost in thought and looked over. His gaze immediately met Wen Muqing's pitiful eyes. He smiled and said, "Don't worry."

Wen Muqing suddenly calmed down, forced a smile, and patted Zhou Zhiyan's hand beside her.

After the two calmed down, footsteps and Shan Le's laughter gradually came from outside the door. Zhao Zhao's head was almost sticking out two miles. If it weren't for the camera filming, he probably would have rushed up.

Seeing her old friend again filled Zhao Zhao with immense excitement; her heart pounded until the door was pushed open, revealing Cheng Sui'an's familiar face, now devoid of childishness.

The newcomer, dressed in a black trench coat with a smile on his lips, peeked out and then jumped out as well.

"Hello everyone, I'm Cheng Sui'an, it's great to see you all again!"

He smiled as he scanned the faces, always lingering a few seconds longer when looking at familiar people.

"Long time no see, An'an!"

"You've finally decided to come back, Cheng Shulan!"

Zhao Zhao and Yu Xingli were extremely excited, their voices growing louder with each exclamation, and their smiles never faded once they saw him.

Among the trainees, only Wen Muqing and Bai Siyi were relatively unfamiliar with him, but they had seen his previous videos from Leyu, so they knew him to some extent.

However, they all introduced themselves again. This time, Zhao Zhao was unusually enthusiastic, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Cheng Sui'an.

Next, Shan Le formally introduced Cheng Sui'an's return to their Leyu Media. He didn't say "joined," and it's believed that after this video is released, there will be a lot of discussion online.

Cheng Sui'an's return was like a pebble thrown into their peaceful lives. Next, they began to prepare for their debut battle, and the real decisive moment was about to arrive.

They tested him on many things, and Cheng Sui'an was surprisingly amazing, even better than Yu Xingli in singing and dancing. However, he proved himself with his strength, silencing many who called him a fraud.

Zhao Zhao couldn't reveal what Shan Le had said about increasing the number of debut spots, but she assured Wen Muqing that he would definitely debut.

Looking into Zhao Zhao's determined eyes, Wen Muqing had a bad feeling. He grabbed Zhao Zhao's sleeve and said nervously, "You're not going to trade your own debut opportunity for mine, are you?!"

Before Zhao Zhao could speak, he reacted strongly and stood up to object, "No, you absolutely can't do that! If you really give up your chance to let me debut, I will never accept it! You absolutely can't do that!"

He was eager to debut, so he knew that the opportunity was rare. Zhao Zhao's family situation was not much better than his own, and he could not accept this outcome.

Zhao Zhao's gaze was gentle. "Don't worry, it's not what you think."

"Then..." Wen Muqing's eyes widened, "Could it be that the boss is going to add more debut spots?!"

Zhao Zhao quickly covered his mouth, "Keep your voice down."

Given this reaction, what else could she not understand? Wen Muqing immediately covered her mouth and nodded, her big eyes filled with surprise and joy.

He whispered, "I really didn't expect the boss to make such a decision." After all, they all knew that Leyu was very poor.

I couldn't help but glance at the ceiling with its peeling paint.

Zhao Zhao said, "It's your excellence that made the boss change his mind. He said he doesn't want to give up on outstanding people like you."

Wen Muqing's eyes immediately welled up with tears, and he hugged Zhao Zhao tightly. "Good brother," he said, patting Zhao Zhao's shoulder.

Zhao Zhao let go of him and turned on the music beat on her phone, laughing, "Let's practice dancing. Only with strong skills can we be unafraid of any unexpected events."

"Ah."

......

The debut battle arrived as scheduled, and all the trainees dressed up to welcome it. They were woken up early in the morning to do their makeup, and Qi Nanxing finally had a chance to use his professional skills.

Actually, his makeup skills are quite good, even better than his cooking skills. Zhao Zhao looked at her fresh self in the mirror in disbelief, recalling the scene of meeting Qi Nanxing on the first day she entered Leyu, and couldn't help but sigh.

For the first time, he realized so clearly that he had grown up.

He used to be uncoordinated, but with the help and training of so many people, he has become the shining star on the stage.

He used to be short and clumsy, but now he can stand shoulder to shoulder with his older brothers, and his body is no longer so fragile that he would fall over at the slightest push. Through years of training, his physical fitness has improved a lot.

Yu Xingli was after Zhao Zhao in the makeup process and was standing behind her, looking at her with a gentle expression.

He was the trainee who stayed with Leyu the longest and witnessed all of Leyu's low points. He had thought more than once that Leyu would go bankrupt and that he would lose his job and go home. Unexpectedly, he has now truly ushered in the debut battle he has been looking forward to.

Leyu persevered and has grown better and better; similarly, they have become increasingly outstanding.

As he was laughing, he met the eyes of Zhao Zhao reflected in the mirror. He raised his hand to ruffle Zhao Zhao's hair, but when he looked down, he found that Zhao Zhao had already styled her hair with hairspray.

It's true, everything is different now.

"Alright, all done. Zhao Zhao, go have breakfast. Xing Li, come sit down." As soon as Qi Nanxing finished speaking, Zhao Zhao immediately turned around and gave Yu Xing Li a big smile.

It was a very common smile, but this time it was exceptionally captivating. Yu Xingli smiled again, revealing his little tiger teeth, "Go for it, do your best later!"

"Ok!"

Zhao Zhao gave a thumbs-up gesture, then hopped and skipped to open the door. Outside, the sun was just rising, casting its light across the ground.
