This Kind of Person is a Born Idol

"If Teacher Jiang says so."

The staff member responsible for liaising with Bai Youlou clearly didn't have as firm a stance as they appeared.

Or rather, they only had a firm stance in front of Bai Youlou.

After Jiang Yuanchu spoke, their stance quickly shifted, "Teacher Jiang is right to remind me, I hadn't thought of that. I'll go register this contestant first."

Long Ziqiang: "Thanks!"

This "thanks" was actually directed at Jiang Yuanchu, but she didn't respond. Her attention was focused entirely on Bai Youlou.

Long Ziqiang: Damn it! Is our director really embroiled in scandals? Another one?!

But Jiang Yuanchu merely gave Bai Youlou a slight nod and turned to leave.

The two didn't even exchange a single word.

This situation left Long Ziqiang stunned. "Old Bai, what's going on?"

"We were in the same company before, she's just helping me out," Bai Youlou explained casually.

"Oh, I see. I thought she was your old flame~"

"You don't know her? She's really popular."

"Uh, I just thought she was pretty, like a doll. Is she a singer or an actress?"

"An idol."

"Then I'm really not familiar with her," Long Ziqiang said honestly.

Before Bai Youlou was smeared and hated online, he didn't even really know Bai Youlou. Who could blame him, since he was also an idol back then.

"Hey? If she's an idol, hasn't she already debuted? Why is she here?"

"Are you out of your mind? She's clearly a mentor."

"Such a young mentor? How old is she?" Long Ziqiang clicked his tongue.

How old? Two years younger than Bai Youlou. But Jiang Yuanchu started as a trainee abroad at thirteen, debuted before she was sixteen, and became an instant sensation. She officially returned to China to develop her career at eighteen and is definitely a top star in the industry.

Her popularity rivals that of An Luning, the "national first love." If it weren't for the hierarchy in the entertainment industry, where pure idols are at the bottom, Jiang Yuanchu would be considered a chosen one who reached the pinnacle at a young age.

It's normal for an idol of this caliber to be a mentor or judge on a variety show.

Of course, the most important point is that this young lady had a flirtatious past with Bai Youlou.

It can only be called flirtatious, as no relationship was ever confirmed.

Furthermore, after Bai Youlou got into trouble, Jiang Yuanchu quickly distanced herself from him, even deleting all past normal interactions on Weibo.

It's understandable.

After all, in Bai Youlou's impression, this girl was an idol who embodied "preserving heavenly principles and eliminating human desires."

Zero scandals since her debut. In any public setting, she wouldn't even chat much with male artists, maintaining a safe distance of at least eighty centimeters. She also relentlessly dieted, practiced various photo poses, and even rehearsed her smiles.

The former Bai Youlou only benefited from being in the same company, making them more familiar. They occasionally appeared together at events and on stage.

With more interactions in this regard, they became increasingly familiar and often chatted.

They chatted on their phones.

But even when chatting on the phone, this girl was very restrained in her speech.

Perhaps it was because Bai Youlou hadn't "awakened" back then, and he also spoke with restraint.

In any case, looking at their chat logs, there wasn't much that could be seen as problematic.

In short, she was a "tough girl" who was so cautious that she even paid attention to her chat logs, strictly adhered to idol conduct, was diligent and self-disciplined, paid attention to her every word and action, always looked refined and polished, and could even control her expressions.

So it was quite normal for her to "cut ties" immediately after Bai Youlou's incident.

If she didn't do that, or if she secretly helped him, it would have been strange.

For Bai Youlou, the appearance of his "ex-girlfriend" on the show "Tomorrow's Star Show" wasn't something that concerned him.

Because even if they were "acquaintances," the other party would act as if they were complete strangers.

This young lady's defenses and alertness were probably at their peak now.

She would definitely guard against the show's production team using the fact that they were once in the same company and acquaintances to create some dramatic effect.

Bai Youlou guessed that she was probably practicing her expressions in front of the mirror right now.

Therefore, Jiang Yuanchu's appearance had no impact on Bai Youlou; things would proceed as they were.

But the appearance of another person was going to be a huge spectacle!

Bai Youlou, who had to run around to so many shows, was too lazy to pay attention to who the mentors or judges were for each program. It wasn't important; they were all just there to find fault with him and eliminate him.

So he never expected that one of the mentors on "Tomorrow's Star Show" would be the biggest victim of his "hair salon" incident.

Of course, Bai Youlou hadn't realized this yet.

"Teacher Zhen, hello."

"Ah, Xiao Jiang, hello. I hope we can cooperate happily."

Jiang Yuanchu stood up, bowed slightly, shook hands, and then sat back down, her expression unchanged.

Yu Zhan, another judge who had arrived earlier, was inwardly amazed. It had been over ten minutes, and this young lady hadn't changed her posture at all. Her back was straight, her demeanor dignified, and she hadn't leaned back against the chair once. Even her smile hadn't faded, her expression always one of approachable charm.

This kind of person was a born idol.

However, there was no time to marvel at Jiang Yuanchu, because Zhen Dongjun, who had just arrived, was even more of a big deal.

This was because his wife was Dong Lu.

And Dong Lu was the one who had been involved in that earth-shattering scandal with Bai Youlou!

Yu Zhan, who had arrived earliest, was the lead mentor for this show. He was the only pure singer among the three. He had also debuted through a talent show in his early years, gaining widespread attention with a highly popular song. He had been famous, then faded, and was now experiencing a resurgence, doing quite well in the music industry and considered a top-tier singer.

But this top-tier singer's mind was currently filled with gossip, and he wasn't paying much attention to the show, only hoping that Bai Youlou would appear soon.

He inwardly lamented how truly wicked the production team was!

They secretly invited Bai Youlou to stir up trouble but didn't inform Zhen Dongjun.

This was clearly setting the stage for a major scoop.

Speaking of which, he was also a little curious if Jiang Yuanchu's expression could remain composed after witnessing such a explosive situation.

It was all entertainment, so hurry up and start!

Production Team: You might not believe it, but Bai Youlou came on his own, we didn't pay him.

However, after Bai Youlou registered, they did indeed conceal this fact and didn't tell Zhen Dongjun.

The reason was straightforward: Zhen Dongjun wasn't popular enough and was a bit past his prime.

He had been famous before, but not to the extent of being top-tier. Now, at best, he was second-tier. For an artist of this caliber, the show's "malice" came as suddenly as this.

They just wanted to generate buzz from him; if he didn't like it, he could breach the contract.

Case closed. The show "Tomorrow's Star Show" had a genuinely big plan behind its relatively good attitude towards Bai Youlou, waiting for him to go on stage for a one-on-one showdown with Zhen Dongjun.

However, the big event would definitely have to wait.

For this recording session, Bai Youlou's appearance order was last.

He was a bit worried about missing his high-speed train because after the recording, he would immediately head to the next location with Long Ziqiang, and also officially "reunite" with Zhang Xiaorong.

He hadn't seen her for a few days and missed her~
