Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

When Shi Yuan heard her name mentioned, she felt her nails digging into her flesh. As she listened to the surrounding discussions, her anger grew. If it weren’t for her interest in the star-making capabilities of Holy View Entertainment, she would never have participated in this small audition! She had already been in contact with the management of Holy View Entertainment before coming here, and she was on the verge of signing a contract. Today’s audition was just a formality. But now, Fu Xiaoya had unexpectedly stolen the spotlight from her! How could she not be furious? Who exactly was this Fu Xiaoya and what was her background?

“Now, please enjoy the marvelous moments of Fu Xiaoya’s audition!” As the host’s voice fell, the large screen began playing a musical scene from Fu Xiaoya’s audition. Although it was just a snippet, everyone watching was captivated by Fu Xiaoya’s singing voice and her expressive performance, immersing themselves in the emotions of her love for the king, the despair after his death, and her steadfast belief in leading the country’s resistance.

This Fu Xiaoya not only had good looks but also impressive talent?

Those who were just discussing Fu Xiaoya’s backdoor connections and alleged shady dealings suddenly fell silent. They could only admit that compared to their own performances, they were nothing but rubbish in comparison to Fu Xiaoya.

Fu Xiaoya was an enviable woman whom others couldn’t help but feel jealous of!

The host said, “Let’s give a warm round of applause to Miss Fu Xiaoya, thanking her for delivering such a splendid performance and looking forward to her even more remarkable performances on ‘Debut, Girl’!”

After the host finished the customary words, he went to take a photo with Fu Xiaoya. He believed that Fu Xiaoya would surely rise to fame, and it would be difficult to take a photo with her once she became popular. It wasn’t just the host who wanted a photo with Fu Xiaoya; even the contestants who had previously targeted her approached her to strike up a conversation.

In response, Fu Xiaoya remained calm and politely engaged with them before seizing an opportunity to slip away.

Fu Xiaoya happily returned home with her prize and went to find her brother, Fu Song. From a distance, she saw Fu Song holding his phone, his face filled with excitement as if something great had happened.

“What are you up to, big brother?” Fu Xiaoya inquired. “Do you have a pretty girl on your phone?” She walked closer to get a better look, but all she saw were a series of intricate trend line graphs that she couldn’t comprehend.

Fu Song, deeply absorbed in his activity, was taken aback when Fu Xiaoya suddenly approached and spoke to him. He dramatically soothed his pounding heart and looked at the thick envelope in Fu Xiaoya’s hand, his expression a blend of joy and concern.

“Congratulations, little sister. You have taken the first step to success,” Fu Song said. Since his sister wanted to pursue a career in the entertainment industry, as her older brother, he naturally supported her.

Fu Xiaoya, seeing that Fu Song wasn’t particularly enthusiastic, took out an autograph personally signed by Qin Huaichen. “Here, big brother. It’s an autograph from your idol. Are you happy?”

Fu Song accepted the coffee packaging paper, his face expressing disbelief as he examined Qin Huaichen’s extravagant signature. You see, Qin Huaichen was known for his arrogance and reluctance to sign autographs for others. He would refuse to sign even on exquisitely designed autograph papers specifically prepared for him. And yet, here he was, signing on such a plain packaging paper. It was unexpected. After not seeing each other for a while, Qin Huaichen had evidently undergone a surprising transformation. He now seemed more willing to accommodate others?

Fu Xiaoya waved her hand in front of Fu Song’s eyes, feeling that her brother was acting strange today. “What’s wrong, big brother? Did you become happy to the point of becoming silly?”

Fu Song snapped a photo and casually put the signed photo into his pocket, smiling. “Yes, I am quite happy. Let’s go, big brother will take you to eat something delicious!”

Fu Xiaoya thought about the unexpected windfall she had received today and said generously, “Okay, I’ll treat you!”

Fu Song replied, “Sounds good!”

Fu Song took Fu Xiaoya around the vicinity until they settled on a location—an open-air street stall. It was Fu Xiaoya’s choice, not because she was being frugal, but because she believed in spending money wisely. As long as the food could fill their stomachs, it was sufficient.

Fu Song glanced at the roadside stall and then at the towering building across the street. He had thought that Fu Xiaoya would take him to a top-floor gourmet restaurant for steak, but he hadn’t expected it would end up being a street stall.

“We agreed to eat something delicious today,” Fu Song pointed towards the top of the building. “They serve excellent foie gras and steak up there.”

Fu Xiaoya looked at the towering building and tapped her pocket, feeling a bit reluctant as she declined, “Let’s forget about it. I’ll treat you there next time when I earn more money.”

“Today, it’s my treat. My stocks have gone up, and I’m happy to treat you to something delicious!” Fu Song held Fu Xiaoya’s hand and started walking. Today was her lucky day, as well as his. How could they settle for a street stall when they could have more?
