Chapter 460: Don’t Go Crying to Your Mama

Just then, Su Ruowan approached the mystery mentor, Mr. Yun.

The mystery mentor was called Yun Xiao. It was such a fancy name, yet no one had ever heard of this person in the whole of showbiz.

In the mentor’s profile, it was noted that he was a coach for trainees in Country H. However, having been a trainee in Country H for the last three years, Tong Kejun was not familiar with this name. Sure, she did not know many coaches or mentors there, but a Chinese mentor would have made waves in Country H’s entertainment scene since there was not a lot to begin with.

Shen Xi was just about to enjoy the peace when someone came up to her. It was none other than Su Ruowan.

“Hello, Mr. Yun. “Su Ruowan expressed tenderness while greeting.

Shen Xi nodded in return. “Hello.”

Inside, Su Ruowan smirked to herself as she stared at Mr. Yun’s stiff upper lip. Still, she kept a gentle smile on the surface. “Mr. Yun, are you in charge of the choreography or vocals section?”

What was with the attitude? Su Ruowan only came over because she took pity on him and also wanted to put on a show in front of the camera. A contrast to the lively scene over at the other mentors, it was just a bleak atmosphere surrounding the lonesome mystery mentor.

Su Ruowan was here to put him out of his misery and reflect her good nature and kindness.

“Both.” Shen Xi answered the question and nothing more.

“Mr. Yun, you must be great in dance and music!” Su Ruowan kept the conversation going. Her expression grew warmer despite Shen Xi’s poker face.

Mystery mentor, her *ss. Muyan caught wind from the production team that the investor pushed this mentor into the show by force to act as the eyes and ears of Cosmos Entertainment.

As the investor of National Idol, Cosmos Entertainment sent five girls to the show. The good-for-nothing Song Wenye was also signed onto Cosmos Entertainment.

This person was only here to keep an eye on the production team to make sure they abided by their rules of not eliminating their agency’s artists and giving them a guaranteed spot to debut.

The trainees from Cosmos Entertainment were neither pretty nor talented. They were just as useless as Song Wenye.

These people would face the wrath of fans if they ever made their debut. For Cosmos Entertainment to send another person to keep watch, they were sure bold enough to let the public know that these trainees were predetermined “royalty”.

“Pretty good,” Shen Xi replied with curled lips.

“I look forward to your guidance,” Su Ruowan said with hidden contempt. To have given such an answer, Mr. Yun was either overconfident or had no self-awareness.

Su Ruowan had never heard of a person immodestly calling themselves good in her life.

“I will be strict.” Shen Xi gave her a serious look. “Don’t go crying to your mama then!”

Su Ruowan grinned. “Mr. Yun, don’t be ridiculous.”

Who did he think he was? Any one of the other mentors was way better than him!

“I mean it.” Shen Xi offhandedly curled her lips. “You better watch out.”

“Please go easy on me, but I will do my best.” Su Ruowan raised her fist as a bubbly teenager would.

Put off by the mentor’s cockiness, Su Ruowan engaged in a brief and small talk before excusing herself and heading towards the other mentors.

Shen Xi gazed deeply at Su Ruowan’s receding figure. She planned to destroy Su Ruowan’s confidence bit by bit, chip away her pride, and crush her dignity. Everyone would see then that Su Ruowan was merely a worthless piece of sh*t.

If everything went according to plan, it would depend on Song Wenye and the other girls’ performance. The more they stood out brilliantly, the more limelight would be taken away from Su Ruowan and her incompetence would be highlighted instead. The blow would wear Su Ruowan’s patience thin and anger her. The jealousy would only drive her mad.

There was no better way than to devastate a person to the point of insanity, especially towards a swollen-headed prick like Su Ruowan.

Over on the other side, Ye Weiyang was ready to approach Shen Xi now that Su Ruowan was gone.

Song Wenye pulled her back and whispered in her ear, “Yangyang, you saw how great the mentor got along with Su Ruowan. He and Su Ruowan must be the same kind of people. I’d advise against looking for him.”

Finding it odd, Ye Weiyang frowned. “Who is Su Ruowan?”

Song Wenye pointed towards Su Ruowan. “That one. I’m not one to speak ill of others, but you need to stay away from her.”

Out of the blue, Shen Xi glanced in their direction and let out a friendly smile at Ye Weiyang.

Ye Weiyang was China’s only singer who was successful abroad, topping the global charts and racking up Grammy’s left and right.

She was on top of Shen Xi’s list, yet the last to be found.

In her previous life, Ye Weiyang entered the world of entertainment using her stage name. Since Shen Xi only knew her by her stage name and had no idea Ye Weiyang had changed her name, it became almost an impossible task to seek her out.

With Song Wenye pulling her around, Ye Weiyang could not head there even if she wanted to. Ye Weiyang could barely hide the awkwardness in her smile as she returned with a nod to Shen Xi.

After the fan-meeting cum get-together, the show began its official recording.

For the first part, trainees were to pick their seats on how they graded themselves.

Song Wenye bluntly went for the throne with seat No. 1, stirring an uproar among the trainees on set.

Everyone wanted to sit there, but no one was brave enough to actually take that seat. It was an unspoken rule to remain reserved and courteous in case it might harm them for standing out unnecessarily.

Shen Xi saw this coming. The fearless dare-devil like Song Wenye would not be afraid to sit on the throne.

He Lu and Su Ruowan saw themselves superior, but even so, they demonstrated humility with one taking the 8th place seat and 11th place seat. Jealousy was gnawing at them inside as Song Wenye took the throne.

With Song Wenye sitting on high, it gave Su Ruowan the feeling of being stomped under her feet. Su Ruowan was so annoyed, she wanted to drag Song Wenye down and stamp on her before taking that seat herself.

So what if that useless Song Wenye stole the limelight? The question was whether she was able to sit tight.

The throne was Su Ruowan’s to keep! No one was to pry whatever that was hers!
