Chapter 495: Interviews Begin
“You’re back.” Fang Siyu turned around to look at Xin Yue. Seeing that the latter was looking unwell, she asked with concern, “Are you feeling unwell? Why did you go to the toilet for so long?”
Xin Yue mumbled, “I’m alright.”
Fang Siyu knew that she was unwilling to explain and did not probe further. “Why don’t you approach the staff to get a cup of hot water?”
Since Xin Yue was not around earlier, the staff had not served her any water.
Everyone else had gotten some water.
When Xin Yue heard this, something flashed across her eyes and she stood up. “I’ll go find someone to get a cup.”
…
Fang Siyu was confused when she saw Xin Yue looking for Yao Ling right after she came back with a cup. She had not forgotten the mocking look that Xin Yue had given her when she had mentioned Yao Ling. Why was she looking for Yao Ling on her own?
Xin Yue was popular and numerous girls tried to network with her. Seeing that she was speaking to Yao Ling, everyone went to surround them.
Looking at them, Xin Yue said, “Do you know who the top scorer on this year’s joint exams was?”
“Are you saying it’s Gu Mang?”
Xin Yue nodded. “That’s right, it’s her.”
“Who doesn’t know that? She scored full marks on two subjects. What’s more impressive is that she was the top scorer when she was seven years-old as well!”
“She’s also Sheng Ting’s choreographer! Truly impressive!”
“Xin Yue, why did you suddenly bring her up?”
Xin Yue replied, “I saw her earlier. She is probably interviewing as well.”
“She is interviewing too?” When the girl finished speaking, she laughed. “Is that for real? We’re all professionals. We’re either like Yao Ling, who has a lot of experience, or joined Voices of All. Gu Mang is trying to compete with us?”
Xin Yue hummed. “I heard her saying clearly that she was here for an interview. She was sitting in teacher Bai Ye’s office.”
When she said that, everyone’s face changed.
Some even sneered. “Is she trying to pull strings?”
“I don’t think so. X Voice Factory is known to emphasize true skills and that goes for the positions in the company as well,” Xin Yue said as she glanced at the cup of water in front of Yao Ling.
“I really hate people who pull strings. They have no real abilities and are just trying to harm others.”
“That’s right. If we’re not accepted and Gu Mang is, I’ll really question X Voice Factory’s professionalism.”
Xin Yue replied, “I heard that even though Gu Mang is good at academics, her character is poor. She is a habitual fighter and a gangster as well.”
This was well known to everyone. During the joint exams, the whole internet suspected Gu Mang’s grades and dove deep into her background. Gu Mang’s background was really quite ‘pretty.’
“Why did she choose the medical school? Patients who can be saved will probably end up not being rescued by her…”
Xin Yue tugged at her lips and did not speak. She suddenly saw Yao Ling pick up the glass of water and sip from it. She lowered her eyes and her lips curled upwards slightly.
…
It was 9 A.M. and the interviews had officially begun. The four elders of X Voice Factory were having signing events elsewhere and did not rush back. The only one who knew Gu Mang’s identity in the whole company was Xu Yi who had picked her up at the entrance in the morning.
However, Xu Yi called and said that he needed to settle something so he let Gu Mang stay in the office. He would accompany her to the interview room later.
Gu Mang and Yu Mufeng ended up playing games in the office.
…
Meanwhile.
The first person to enter the recording studio in the interview room was Yao Ling.
She had a quiet and calm charisma as she introduced herself politely. “Good morning interviewers, I’m Number One, Yao Ling.”
The interviewers nodded and played a short video for her. They got her to play all four characters in the video clip.
