Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Li Lei took a few steps forward and saw that in the warmly lit room, the floor looked ordinary and there was nothing unusual. However, it was at this ordinary place that his beloved woman reincarnated. How amazing was that!
He was a little enchanted by it.
In the dancing room, a few trainees stopped and started to rest.
A girl handed a white towel to a boy and asked, “Are you not going to practice anymore?”
The boy said, “I’m not going to practice anymore. In the afternoon, Ye Xingling will lecture. I have to quickly secure a seat.”
The girl was a little unhappy. “You know that I hate Ye Xingling. I like Xia Yu.”
After hearing her, Li Lei turned to look at Xia Ling.
Xia Ling pulled his sleeve, stopping him from impulsively wanting to teach the girl a lesson. At this age, girls chased many stars and there were so many celebrities in the world. She couldn’t force everyone in the world to like only her. So what if the girl liked Xia Yu? There was nothing much to say.
She implied that she wanted Li Lei to back down and quietly leave with her.
Unexpectedly, before they could leave, they heard the boy’s voice again. “I’m sorry. Well then, I won’t see Ye Xingling any longer and will buy you the latest magazine that has an interview with Xia Yu. I heard that she’s back and held a media conference to apologize to her sister as she also wants to return to the Xia Family.”
Xia Ling stopped in her tracks. Xia Yu held a media conference and caused such a huge commotion?
The girl snorted. “That’s more like it. Who does Ye Xingling think she is? How dare she act as Xia Ling to make Xiao Yu apologize? Is she worthy? Hmph, my Xiao Yu is just too forgiving and easily bullied. But us fans aren’t easy to bully! Let’s go, I will show my support for Xiao Yu on the internet now.”
She pulled the boy and walked out with great enthusiasm.
Xia Ling wanted to avoid them, but Li Lei pulled her back.
Due to this, when the two children walked out, they were startled seeing them.
Xia Ling also felt a little awkward and lightly glared at Li Lei. “Let’s go.”
However, Li Lei did not leave. He pointed his finger at the two of them and smiled mesmerizingly. “A hundred marks will be deducted from both your final scores.”
The two children were astounded.
“Bo… Boss, it’s not fair for you to deduct our marks like that!” The boy was the first to protest. “A hundred marks is the total score of one cla.s.s. If you deduct them like that, we won’t be able to pa.s.s the exam!”
“Exactly!” The girl also plucked her courage. “What school rule have we broken?!”
“You two have not violated the school rules.” Li Lei was still smiling. “What I’m teaching you is that life is unfair and sometimes luck is important. Today, you two were unlucky because you ran into me. And it just happens that I’m not very happy with you two. Nothing more.”
“But…” The two children wanted to say something more.
Big Boss shook his finger. “Don’t explain it. I will hate you more. In fact, I may even directly evict you from the training camp in the future.” After that, he flashed a toothy grin.
The two children looked at each other and saw the hesitation and fear in each other’s eyes.
The girl especially felt that she could not drop out of school to chase stars. If she left Skyart Entertainment, her own dream of becoming a star could not be realized anymore.
In a low voice, she apologized to Xia Ling. “I’m sorry.”
Xia Ling felt that Big Boss was making a mountain out of a molehill. Was it meaningful to bully small children like that? However, she still felt a little happy seeing him protect her like that and smiled slightly. “He who understands the times is a wise man. The way you’ve apologized is not bad. You’ll get 50 more marks then.” She said, “You guys are lucky that this is the training camp. When you really enter the entertainment industry, you don’t know how badly you’ll end up after offending people.”
After that, she pulled Li Lei’s hand and left.
Big Boss saw her slightly raised lips and secretly criticized: How dare you look down on me for bullying the children! Aren’t you feeling very happy after bullying them too?
The two of them walked out of the corridor and only stopped when they were very far away.
Suddenly, Xia Ling said, “I want to change my lecture topic.”
“Change your lecture topic?” Li Lei asked. She initially wanted to talk about how to improve stage presence. Did she decide to change her topic suddenly because she was provoked by the two children? “What are you going to change it to?”
Xia Ling gritted her teeth. “A person’s bottom line.”
An hour later.
When she stepped onto the podium in the auditorium and faced the crowd of students, she really talked solely about the moral topic of a person’s bottom line. She told everyone that in the l.u.s.trous and dazzling entertainment industry, there were too many temptations and it was really hard to be a good person. For example, people would sell out others for money, some would be blinded by hatred, and a few others would use unscrupulous means to gain the upper hand…
She hoped that everyone could remain pure and be true to their conscience.
This made many students who came to listen to her lecture feel like bursting into tears. What the h.e.l.l? G.o.ddess Xiao Ling, we came early to secure our seats and took time off to listen to your lecture because we wanted to gain some of your knowledge and skills! Why did you give us a lesson on morals? Is it too late to leave?
A few people really secretly left.
The rest wanted to follow them but very quickly, a commotion spread in the crowd.
“Do you really want to leave? Are you looking to die? Haven’t you heard that Big Boss Li is outside catching everyone who left early? Just now, w.a.n.g Hao and Zhao Dalong who left early were caught and were both deducted 50 marks.”
“What, so severe?!” The remaining students cried. “This is forcing us to die!”
“Oh well, we just have to bear with it. Besides, there are only two hours left… After enduring it, it will be fine.”
Everyone held back their tears.
This was their G.o.ddess Xiao Ling’s lecture! They thought they would gain a lot of knowledge here! Everyone was excited to learn something at the start, so they did not fully charge their phones and did not bring any PAD, game consoles, or e-books. Now, everyone regretted their decisions.
“Do you think that G.o.ddess Xiao Ling wants to keep her skills secret?” They started to whisper.
However, Xia Ling’s hearing was very good. “You over there, and you. I’m talking about you. I want you who said that I’m hiding my secrets to come on stage… How have I hidden my secrets? Do you know that ethics is very important? Now, many artistes lack in morals. I’m stopping you from becoming like them…”
She was unable to prevent the children from liking Xia Yu. Besides a few students, the majority did not know Xia Yu’s true personality. She only wanted to warn the children to have a bottom line and not let them compromise their morals.
She started an eloquent speech again.
Everyone below the stage started to cry in their hearts.
