Two days ago, Zhou Wanqing had already finalized things with Jiangrong Satellite TV: Feng Bingbing would be a mentor on the second season of Pure Voice's national top 100 competition.
Today, Feng Bingbing came to Jiangrong Satellite TV to sign the contract.
This also demonstrated her seriousness about the program.
After all, Pure Voice had become one of China's top music competition shows after its massive success in the first season.
The mentors on this show were either A-list singers or currently popular idols.
Feng Bingbing being chosen as a mentor this season was enough to prove her popularity.
The chief director of Pure Voice, Chen Xin, had decided on a mentor lineup of two veteran A-list singers, one popular new-generation singer, and one top idol.
This strategy basically catered to the needs of viewers across different age groups.
Feng Bingbing's target was naturally the "popular new-generation singer" slot, but the competition for this position was quite fierce.
Seven or eight young singers were vying for this mentor spot simultaneously.
Among them was Feng Bingbing's old rival, Xu Lingyu.
However, the production team ultimately chose Feng Bingbing, who had higher popularity, better singing skills, and a more beautiful appearance.
After signing the contract, the slightly tense atmosphere from the negotiation disappeared without a trace. Feng Bingbing smiled and chatted with several core members of the production team.
Seeing Feng Bingbing's poised demeanor and youthful radiance, Chen Xin became even more satisfied with her choice.
Zhou Wanqing walked over and shook hands with Chen Xin. "Thank you, Director Chen, for your trust in our Bingbing."
Chen Xin smiled. "It's because Feng Bingbing is outstanding herself. After all, our show's threshold is higher than ordinary variety shows. We look not only at fame but also at singing skills, emotional intelligence, and conversational ability."
"You flatter me, Director Chen," Zhou Wanqing replied with a proud smile.
Zhou Wanqing had managed Feng Bingbing since her debut and had witnessed her growth from a raw newcomer into the Little Diva of the Music Scene. Naturally, she knew the effort Feng Bingbing had put in behind the scenes.
Of course, it would be even better if she could improve her temper and not be so confrontational.
Even if she couldn't change her temper, she shouldn't be so infatuated with that Senior Lin that she acted like a sycophant!
It was too embarrassing!
As Zhou Wanqing was thinking this, she glanced sideways and saw Feng Bingbing walking aside alone, secretly looking at her phone.
Judging by her expression, Zhou Wanqing knew exactly what Feng Bingbing was looking at.
Zhou Wanqing sighed softly, walked over, took Feng Bingbing's phone, said goodbye to Chen Xin and the production team members, and left Jiangrong Satellite TV with her and Xiao Zhu.
"Sister Wan Qing, hurry up and give me my phone back!"
Feng Bingbing had behaved herself in front of others, but as soon as they got into the car, she tried to snatch her phone from Zhou Wanqing.
"My dear, are you trying to be lovey-dovey with your senior without considering the occasion?"
Zhou Wanqing looked down at Feng Bingbing's phone irritably. Sure enough, she saw that Feng Bingbing had just sent a message to Senior Lin, even asking him to guess what program she had signed.
"Aiya, Sister Wan Qing, give it back quickly. Senior must have replied to me."
Feng Bingbing lunged towards Zhou Wanqing.
"Heh, he did reply to you. Here, look yourself!"
Zhou Wanqing sneered and threw the phone to her.
"Senior replied?"
Feng Bingbing quickly caught the phone and looked down at Senior Lin's reply.
Xiao Zhu, sitting in the driver's seat, didn't start the car and turned back to ask, "What did Senior Lin reply?"
When she leaned over to look, she saw that Lin Mu had only replied: "I'm a bit tired, going to sleep. Goodnight."
Xiao Zhu looked at Zhou Wanqing, who was smirking, and tugged at Feng Bingbing's arm. "Little Bing, your senior is so cold."
"How so?"
Feng Bingbing looked up, her face full of happiness and joy.
"Senior said goodnight to me! He never said goodnight to me before. Don't you guys think Senior is starting to be gentler towards me!"
"Heh." Zhou Wanqing turned to look out the window, preferring not to see.
Xiao Zhu smiled helplessly, sat back properly, started the car, and focused on driving.
The atmosphere in the car was polite yet awkward.
Feng Bingbing pouted. "You two single dogs are just jealous of me, hmph!"
Zhou Wanqing: "..."
Xiao Zhu: "..."
The next day, the sun rose as usual.
Lin Mu arrived at the company and found the atmosphere in the office strange.
His colleagues were discussing something excitedly, but with a hint of dejection on their faces.
Seeing Lin Mu walk in, the understanding married woman Xu Li tugged at the person next to her, and everyone stopped talking.
Even Li Xiaoyun, the most talkative girl from Sichuan, covered her mouth and silently walked to her desk to sit down.
"What's going on?"
Seeing the strange looks everyone was giving him, Lin Mu's heart skipped a beat. Had his S Card from the preliminary round of Pure Voice been exposed?
"Everyone's here? Come, have some snacks!"
Just then, Chi Yuting from the secretarial department upstairs walked in, placing bags of various snacks on the table and calling everyone over.
Chi Yuting was heavily bundled up today, dressed much more conservatively than usual. Although she was kindly bringing snacks, there was an air of condescension about her.
Especially when she saw Lin Mu, she gave a faint smile and walked up to him, saying:
"I heard you also participated in the Pure Voice Jiangsu Province preliminaries. How did you do?"
Lin Mu replied, "It was okay."
"Heh, still so ordinary, yet so confident."
Chi Yuting chuckled, took a sausage from the snack bag, and tossed it to Lin Mu.
Lin Mu caught it, not understanding what this woman was playing at.
Chi Yuting giggled, "What a coincidence, I also participated in the Pure Voice preliminaries and made it into the national top 100!"
The office fell silent. It seemed the other colleagues already knew about this.
Lin Mu understood. This woman had come specifically to show off to him.
Chi Yuting often subtly flirted with Lin Mu, and he knew she was just stringing him along.
This was because Chi Yuting actually had ambiguous relationships with several leaders in the company. However, these leaders were all married and naturally wouldn't abandon their families for her.
Since she couldn't achieve her ultimate goal with the leaders, she decided to settle for the next best thing and find a handsome, honest man to settle down with.
This was a typical tactic for a "tea bitch."
However, Lin Mu had long seen through Chi Yuting's true nature and had never given her a pleasant look.
This made "Factory Flower" Chi feel very embarrassed.
And now that she had made it into the national top 100 of Pure Voice, she was about to enter the entertainment industry and become a star.
Naturally, this would set her apart from her ordinary colleagues, especially Lin Mu, who had always looked down on her.
Her change from her usual sexy attire to conservative clothing today clearly showed that she felt these commoners were no longer worthy of seeing her body.
My body is to be seen by people of a higher caliber!
As for Lin Mu, he would be even less qualified to catch her eye from now on.
