Chapter 519: 503 not a single one left

Huang Meimei thought she must have misheard and stumbled as she repeated, "Not... not even one?"

Usually, as long as someone passed the qualifying line, they would be kept for training for a while before making a decision.

After all, some people get nervous during interviews and don’t perform well; within a month of training, many promising new talents emerge.

Yan Yueqing looked at her indifferently and said, "This is a company, not a training institution."

Huang Meimei broke out in a cold sweat at her words.

Since joining the company, President Yue had always been gentle. She was beautiful, and her smile even more so. Like a clear spring, it touched people’s hearts.

But when she uttered those words just now, her tone didn’t change, and neither did her smile; yet, she exuded an authoritative presence without even being angry.

It made people suddenly realize—

This was not a pretty face without substance! This was Xingyue’s top boss, the same person who on her first day sent several powerful executives away and nobody has heard from them since!

"Yes, President Yue, I’ll get on it right away," Huang Meimei said, not daring to take the matter lightly.

This action not only commanded Zhou Jue’s solemn respect but also caused the artists in the back to become exceedingly tense.

Oh no, what do we do? President Yue looks so strict!

Ji Quwei silently nodded: "I personally fully support President Yue’s approach."

Being an artist is different from ordinary jobs; those selected are all people with potential and talent.

You should know in learning the arts, most are nearly the same, hard work can’t compare to that 1% of natural talent in others.

If an artist doesn’t have something impressive to show, once they appear on television, it will be a disaster!

Watching their stiff performances, their average visuals are hyped as peerless beauty, and no amount of blowing can fade their clothes fast enough to fabricate the intended celestial aura—it’s just treating the audience like fools.

Yan Yueqing did not deny the company’s previous selection model: "In the past, the bosses wanted to give artists more opportunities, and I quite appreciated those who stayed and were diligent, but in order to develop, talent is very important. This time, the selection of artists is not to expand the company’s size, but to broaden the company’s target segments and to make a push into the market, so the criteria will be much stricter than before."

This statement was quite face-saving.

The group in the back all heaved a sigh of relief. Then, their worry turned into secret delight: Lucky for them they had come early and still had a spot in the company, or else... they would have been the ones cut today!

But honestly, being able to pick two out of more than twenty candidates in this recruitment was already considered a stroke of good fortune.

It’s strange, previous recruitments would attract a hundred or more applicants. Xingyue faced so many sudden issues, and the rumors circulating were not flattering. After all, who would want to go to a company that was just jointly inspected by several high-level audits?

In such a case, the recruitment only attracted twenty-something people, and everyone felt the company was in decline.

Who would have thought... that two particularly good seedlings would appear?

Could it be that they were attracted by President Yue?!!

After selecting the applicants, it was time for the company’s artists to take turns on stage.

Yan Yueqing seemed somewhat uninterested in this, but she didn’t want to dampen their spirits either, so she watched patiently, gave fair evaluations, and then gave the stage over to Teacher Ji to perform.

That night, the internet was buzzing again.

The incident started today with an online celebrity named Feifei, who went home after a job interview and excitedly chatted with her fans during a live stream.

"Wow, I saw Big Boss Yue in person today, she’s just too, too, too beautiful! She just sat there, doing nothing, and I felt like my soul was nearly hooked away."

The barrage of comments laughed: "How beautiful? Even more than on the live stream?"

Feifei, holding her face in rapture, replied: "It’s hard to describe, she really doesn’t do justice on camera!"

"Did you go to the audition for Big Boss Yue?"

Feifei replied generously: "Yeah~ There were more than twenty people applying today, and in the end, only two were chosen. I, along with others, were sifted out."

"And you’re still happy even after being sifted out?"

Feifei retorted: "Why wouldn’t I be happy? I saw my idol, get it?! And what’s my level, right? If I could get selected as a Xingyue artist with my qualifications, you guys should really start worrying about the future of the entertainment industry!"

"Hahaha, the host is so honest. You dare to say anything."

"Don’t give up on yourself, Feifei, you’re the best in our hearts~"

"Feifei’s pretty good-looking, more beautiful than many stars in the entertainment industry."

Feifei made a face as if to say, knock it off: "Guys, don’t flatter awkwardly. I’m just a food blogger, what good looks do I have? When I was doing food live streams, you even complained that the squid got all distorted in post-production, and now you’re trying to butter me up with this false praise?

Am I pretty? My looks are all thanks to this beauty filter. Without it, I might end up looking like Zhong Kui or Li Kui. But honestly, I went today purely to see my idol, and do you know what? The two that got selected, one sings really well and the other acts really well! I hope they debut soon, you guys are in for a treat for both your eyes and ears~"

"Really? Why do I feel like you’re just here to hype up Yan Yueqing on purpose?"

"Don’t talk nonsense. Feifei’s been a host for many years. After hearing about Xingyue’s recruitment, she was all excited about trying out yesterday."

"Big Boss Yue’s popularity... well, let’s just say it doesn’t need anyone else’s help to grow."

"If Feifei says they’re good, they’re good! Can you tell us the names of the two artists that President Yue took under her wing? I want to become their fan in advance."

Feifei chuckled: "One is called Xu Mengjie, her singing is incredibly touching - almost brought me to tears. The other is Xi Hongxia, she looks like a rose with thorns; wow, her legs are so long and straight. Just her performing a gun-drawing action blew me away!"

"Confirmed, the host has stars in her eyes; true news, we can look forward to this!"

"Feifei, you’re also known for competing with the top beauty on the certain fish platform. Show some spirit. How good looking can Xi Hongxia be? I don’t buy it!"

Feifei almost swore on it: "I swear on my conscience, aside from President Yue, Xi Hongxia is the most beautiful girl I’ve seen! Just wait for her to debut. I can’t even imagine how gorgeous she would look playing a peerless beauty."

Like this, with her effusive praise, she indeed informed quite a few netizens that Xingyue recruited two promising new artists today.

After it hit the internet, everyone had their own opinions, but most were skeptical.

After all, considering the salary and benefits posted online, which truly talented newcomers would be interested? They likely would’ve already been discovered by talent scouts! Especially after Feifei mentioned Xu Mengjie was 20 and Xi Hongxia was 26, the netizens reacted.

"If a singer isn’t famous by 20, they probably won’t ever be."

"An actor at 26 still not debuted, and Xingyue took them in?"

Meanwhile, Huang Meimei was frantically holding a stack of documents, knocking on Yan Yueqing’s door: "Trouble, President Yue, there’s a problem with Xi Hongxia’s background check!"
