Chapter 312 - 312: Si Fuqing Invited the Godfather of Fashion, Gu Wenzhu

“If you touch him, I think your sportswear and shoes might get boycotted. Your company’s target audience is these young people.”

Xu Jingshan took a closer look and realized that Xie Yu’s vote count was indeed a whole digit higher than the others.

He gasped in surprise, “How did he get so many votes?”

Fans voting required money, and there were limits to the number of votes that could be bought.

Xie Yu’s votes were already in the billions, unattainable by money alone. This indicated a terrifying number of active fans voting daily.

“He’s talented and good-looking, of course, he attracts fans,” the middle-aged man patted Xu’s shoulder. “Brother Xu, this program can bring forth a real top star. He’s an independent trainee; you can definitely build a good relationship with him.”

Debuting as a top star was almost unheard of in the Great Xia Empire.

The middle-aged man’s eyes were sharp.

With Xie Yu’s talent, it was only a matter of time before he reached Glenn’s level.

“Yes, we can’t touch him,” Xu Jingshan breathed a sigh of relief. “Thank goodness you reminded me.”

When talent reached a certain level, even capital couldn’t suppress it.

“Then let’s switch this one,” Xu Jingshan pointed at the list. “Move Lu Yan to second place.”

The assistant noted it down.

“This Shi Yu, and these two, move them behind ninth place,” Xu Jingshan continued. “Their agencies don’t value them, so we don’t need to either.”

Unlike some other trainees whose companies understood the nuances of networking, sending him plenty of resources.

The final list was thus settled.

“No need to inform the program team; they can’t help with this,” Xu Jingshan tapped off the ash from his cigarette. “On debut night, we’ll take full control.”

“By the way, there’s someone else to keep an eye on, the dance mentor on the show. She’s of age,” the middle-aged man pushed a photo towards him.

The photo was of Si Fuqing.

She had never posted a selfie; it was a fan -captured image.

Unedited, yet strikingly captivating at first glance.

“She is indeed beautiful,” Xu Jingshan squinted his eyes. “Why are you showing me this? Not interested?”

The middle-aged man shook his head, “I don’t dare; my family keeps a tight leash.’

Xu Jingshan chuckled, not believing him, “Wait a few days, after the program’s hype dies down. If I want her, I’ll have her.”

Top stars relied on him for resources, and Si Fuqing was just a popular idol, without any significant background or connections.

He could summon her with a wave of his hand.

Xu Jingshan handed Si Fuqing’s photo to his assistant, “After the debut night, keep an eye on her.”

The assistant acknowledged and went to prepare.

At six in the evening, Si Fuqing left the training camp to visit Gu Wenzhu.

They enjoyed dinner together.

“Yun Lan, I watched your show,” Gu Wenzhu adjusted his glasses. “What was that makeup? I hardly recognized you.”

“Gothic-style,” Si Fuqing opened a bottle of coke, raising an eyebrow. “It’s trendy, you wouldn’t understand.”

“I really don’t. A good face, painted like a ghost,” Gu Wenzhu spoke slowly.

“Good thing you’ve removed it, or I might have lost my appetite.”

He then remembered something, pausing for a moment. “With your current identity… it’s probably not appropriate for me to call you Yun Lan anymore, right?”

Si Fuqing paused, then laughed softly, “Just call me Yun Lan. You’re used to it, and so am I.”

“It’s indeed hard to suddenly change,” Gu Wenzhu huffed. ‘Who knows if ‘Yun Lan’ is even your real name. After you left, I dug everywhere but couldn’t find any trace of you.”

“What’s more impressive is that T18 and Zero couldn’t even crack your IP address. How did I end up with such an incredible student?”

Si Fuqing didn’t feign modesty, “They just aren’t good enough.”

“Be careful, lest you get caught one day,” Gu Wenzhu sighed. “Alright, go rest.

I’ll come on my own on Saturday night; no need to pick me up.”

“Then, teacher, make sure you’re discreet,” Si Fuqing stood up. “Your face is iconic in the fashion world; don’t scare the kids.” Gu Wenzhu waved his hand, “I know what I’m doing.”

After leaving some cans of tea, Si Fuqing stepped out.

At the entrance of the mall, she saw an advertisement for a big May sale, featuring several clothes she liked.

Si Fuqing snapped a photo and posted it on her friend circle.

[Summer’s here, time for dresses.]

She planned to shop after the talent show ended.

As soon as the post went up, notifications began to flood in.

[JI]: Big brother, don’t act like a woman, it scares me. Be manly!

Si Fuqing replied with a “get lost,” emotionlessly stuffing her phone back into her pocket.

She walked back to her villa from the city center.

By the time she got home, it was nine.

The living room lights were still on.

As she entered, Yu Tang excitedly waved, “Qingqing, come and see!”

“Hm?” Si Fuqing approached and saw various gift bags on the sofa. ‘What’s all this?”

“Your summer dresses,” Yu Tang’s eyes sparkled. “They’re really pretty. It’s not too much for you to wear a dress on debut night, right?”

Si Fuqing, “Ah?”

“Uncle Nine bought them,” Yu Tang said. “Didn’t you post on your friend circle?”

Si Fuqing was startled and instinctively looked at the man beside her, “Boss, you use social media?”

Yu Xiheng looked up, a slight smile in his eyes, “Boomer?”

“No, boss, you’re trendy!” Si Fuqing was earnest. “Thank you for caring for your employee. I really appreciate and respect you.”

“I’ll go study now,” Yu Tang tactfully ran upstairs.

Yu Xiheng leaned forward to pick up his tea cup, “After ‘Youth With You’ wraps up, you have another show?”

“Yes,” Si Fuqing nodded. “The assistant director from Great Xia TV we met last time. It’s a survival show, which I like. The first season has five episodes, each split into two parts. It’ll take about two months to film.” “Hmm,” Yu Xi Heng hummed. “Then I’ll let RM come in August.” Si Fuqing pondered: “Boss, RM isn’t your company, is it?”

Yu Xiheng smiled subtly, “I’m just a cripple.”

“I said you’re not, and you’ll be well soon,” Si Fuqing picked a few bags. “I’ll go

try them on.”

After trying a few dresses in the dressing room, she realized something was off.

Some fit too perfectly.

Even more accurately than her own measurements.

Especially around the chest…

Sensing her confusion, Yu Xi Heng casually said, “Estimated.”

Si Fuqing:

A few seconds later, she found the right words to praise, “Boss, you have great eyes.”

She quickly packed the remaining dresses and headed upstairs.

Yu Xiheng set down his cup, his thoughts drifting.

Now shés acting like a young girl.

Indeed quite cute.

Saturday.

Six in the evening.

Lin City Hall was brightly lit.

Hundreds of thousands of fans had arrived, surrounding the venue, with numerous security personnel on duty.

After nearly three months, the talent show was finally drawing to a close.

Excitement, anticipation, and ulterior motives filled the air.

In the VIP passage, a car stopped, and a foreigner stepped out.

Lin Qingyan, who had been waiting, stepped forward respectfully, “Hello, Mr. Mel. We’re honored by your unexpected visit.”

“I’m not here just for you,” Mel replied coolly, without giving much face. “Just passing by to take a look.”

He was also hoping to run into Mr. Gu Wenzhu .

Though he wouldn’t say that out loud.

Not to mention Lin Qingyan, even the top celebrities of Great Xia didn’t have the privilege of meeting Gu Wenzhu.

Lin Qingyan put herself at a very humble position, “Having Mr. Mel is already a great honor. If possible, we hope you could give a speech at the end of the show.”

Her joy was palpable.

Initially, she had only invited an apprentice of Mel, whom she had met at Glenn during a red carpet event.

Who would have thought that Mel himself would come?

This time, she was eager to see who else Si Fuqing could invite, someone with a reputation even greater than Mel.

“Okay,” Mel said, adjusting his outfit. “I also hope that among your candidates, there will be someone who catches my eye. I’m not interested in superficial talents or those whose popularity is merely bought with money.”

Lin Qingyan smiled, ‘You won’t be disappointed, Mr. Mel. There’s a trainee with the last name Lu, he’s quite impressive.”

As they were speaking, another car pulled up behind them. The car door opened, and out stepped Gu Wenzhu..
