Transmigrating as the Younger Sister of a Bigshot with Multiple Identities - Chapter 788

Chapter 788: Yan Xi the Trainee

Editor: Henyee Translations

Yan Xi finished singing the love song twenty times, tears streaming down her face. She had never felt the sorrow of the song so deeply before.

Once she stepped off the stage, Yan Xi hastily gulped down two glasses of water before rushing to find the manager to settle the bill.

She wasn’t a regular singer at Earthly Club; she was just working part-time.

Previously, she could earn 100 yuan per song, singing three to four songs a night, amounting to three to four hundred yuan per day and over ten thousand yuan per month.

But this time, she sang twenty songs in one go. The wealthy young man who had requested the song was exceedingly generous, bidding 50,000 yuan to the manager. Even after the club’s cut, she still pocketed 20,000 yuan!

How could she refuse the opportunity to earn two months’ worth of salary in just two hours of work?

Of course, she couldn’t.

With the money safely in hand, Yan Xi was ready to leave, her heart dancing with joy.

The manager gently tugged at Yan Xi’s sleeve, directing her gaze towards Fu Mingxiu in the corner. “Yan Xi, Young Master Fu has never requested a song from anyone until now. You’re the first.”

“He even ordered so many songs at once. It seems he’s particularly pleased with your performance. Why not go and have a drink with him?”

The manager hinted at Yan Xi with his eyes. “Young Master Fu is not an ordinary person. If you can get close to him, it could be beneficial for you. You won’t have to worry about the sky-high compensation from your scamming company anymore.”

Yan Xi wasn’t a professional artist; she was just a trainee at Tiansheng Media.

Despite her beauty and talent in singing and dancing, a past conflict had led to her being stuck as a trainee for eight years without a debut opportunity.

She remained relatively unknown in the entertainment industry, often relegated to background roles.

She had once considered leaving Tiansheng Media. Anything would be better than being stifled and unable to progress.

However, the contract she had signed back then was for a ten-year period, and the termination fee was exorbitant. Coming from an ordinary family, she couldn’t afford it.

Moreover, she felt too embarrassed to ask her adoptive parents for money. She was already grateful that they had taken her in.

As a trainee, she didn’t earn much, and her adoptive father needed money for medical treatment. So, she resorted to part-time work to make ends meet.

Thankfully, being relatively unknown meant she didn’t have many fans or much attention from within the company. Thus, her lengthy singing stint at Earthly Club went unnoticed.

The manager persisted in guiding her. “You’ve been in the industry for years, yet you’re still struggling. You have the looks and talent. Isn’t the only thing you lack capital and a benefactor? Young Master Fu is feeling low right now. Can’t you seize this opportunity?”

Yan Xi only wanted to go home and rest, but if she wanted to remain on good terms with the manager, she couldn’t afford to offend him.

Upon hearing his suggestion, Yan Xi pointed at herself and croaked, “If I were to try hitting on someone now, nobody would be interested in me, right?”

The manager’s eyelids twitched at the sound of her hoarse voice. “Unfortunately, you’re right. Your voice is even rougher than mine.”

“Let’s forget about it. You’re just not having a good day. Don’t go over and drive away our esteemed guest.”

Yan Xi:

Thank you very much!

With that, Yan Xi promptly gathered her belongings and made her exit.

Meanwhile, Fu Mingxiu, half inebriated and half awake, leaned on the table and glanced up, his gaze falling on the girl’s profile. The more he looked, the more familiar she seemed. He couldn’t help but be taken aback. “Yangyang… why are you here…”

September 13th.

The new students of Hua University arrived.

Gu Zhaoming and Ruan Xueling escorted Gu Yang and the others to their dormitory before departing.

The male and female dormitories were mostly segregated and situated at the four corners of the campus.

Interestingly, the male and female dormitories of the Physics Department were positioned diagonally from north to south.

In simpler terms, if Gu Yang wished to find Feng Jue, or vice versa, they would need to traverse the entire campus.
