Chapter 546: Friends Become Opponents

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Qju Ze originally wanted to persuade Jing Jianbai again. After all, they were roommates who were going to live together for a period of time in the future. It was not appropriate for him to not fit in.

He didn’t expect to meet an unexpected person at the door of the practice room.

Murong Qiao, the boss of CG Company.

Qiu Ze had long known about her before she appeared on this show At the same time, he was very concerned about the look she had given him on the show.

The smooth sound of the piano did not stop because of Murong Qiao or Qiu Ze. Jing Jianbai sat in front of the piano and pressed the black and white keys rhythmically, letting the melody flow out one after another. He was focused on lowering his head and turned his back to the door of the practice room, not realizing that there were already two “guests” outside.

“You know each other?” Murong Qiao looked at Qiu Ze.

It was impossible for the other party to be looking for her. She noticed that Qiu Ze seemed to be very familiar with Jing Jianbai.

Qiu Ze’s smile froze. “Yes, we’re roommates.”

The joy he had just felt from meeting Murong Qiao disappeared because of her words.

She was paying attention to Jing Jianbai, and Qiu Ze realized this almost instantly.

Murong Qiao continued, “I remember that you guys won first place. Why didn’t you go to celebrate?”

Looking at Qiu Ze’s casual clothes, he was definitely going out to celebrate, but Jing Jianbai didn’t seem to be.

“We’re about to go out, but Jing Jianbai wants to practice the piano some more so we might as well not force him to come along.”

Qiu Ze told the truth. He had no intention of lying to Murong Qiao.

However, because of the other party’s attention on Jing Jianbai, he couldn’t help but feel a little sour, making Qiu Ze feel uncomfortable.

“…He’S been working quite hard for the past few days. Perhaps he’s afraid that something will go wrong in the compet.i.tion.”

Qiu Ze forced a smile and added.

There was a hidden meaning of saying that Jing Jianbai liked to do last-minute preparations. However, because Qiu Ze’s tone was very normal, no one thought too much about it.

Jing Jianbai was very strong. Qiu Ze had known this from the beginning and knew it in his heart.

However, he didn’t expect that the other party had already attracted Murong Qiao’s attention and quickly became one of his opponents.

Qiu Ze felt a little upset, but he didn’t know how long Murong Qiao had been watching here, so he didn’t rashly slander Jing Jianbai’s image at this time.

“He’s very talented.” Murong Qiao nodded in agreement.

These words made Qiu Ze’s smile freeze.

Murong Qiao stood at the door and listened for a while. Thinking that Jing Jianbai had practiced until so late yesterday, she probably wouldn’t be able to wait for the other party to end for a while, so she decided to turn around and leave.

Calculating the time, the chauffeur should be halfway there.

“Are you leaving? The path here is very winding. Why don’t I bring you along?” Qiu Ze took the opportunity to say.

Murong Qiao nodded indifferently. “Sure.”

If she could go home faster, she had no objections.

However, Murong Qiao’s intuition told her that she didn’t like Qiu Ze. Even if the other party’s performance on the stage just now was not bad and many people were even praising him, Murong Qiao didn’t have any bright expectations in her heart.

“Then let’s go this way.” Qiu Ze led the way.

This was a rare period of time for him to be alone with Murong Qiao. Qiu Ze was a little nervous, but he was more excited.

“May I ask if CG has any requirements for artistes? Actually, I especially like CG when I partic.i.p.ated in the show this time…” Qiu Ze asked carefully.

In any case, he was still a trainee at ROE now. If he was chosen by another company during the compet.i.tion, he would be considered to have signed a contract and debuted. It wouldn’t be considered a conflict.

“Hmm… It depends on one’s ability. There are no specific requirements for this.”

Murong Qiao said something ambiguous, but she didn’t reveal her att.i.tude towards Qiu Ze.

At the very least, she was not interested in this contestant at all. As long as she didn’t make things difficult for him and brushed him off with a few words it would be fine.? ’

“I see…” Qiu Ze laughed awkwardly.

He was definitely not stupid to be valued by the company that supported him. Qiu Ze understood what Murong Qiao meant immediately. It was precisely because of this that his heart became much heavier.

Now, it seemed that the other party only paid attention to Jing Jianbai. In that case…

Thinking of the friction between Feng Duo and Jing Jianbai in the dormitory Qiu Ze’s eyes flickered slightly as a different thought appeared in his heart. ’

The path to the main door was not long, especially when there was only a straight path at the end.

Qiu Ze didn’t take the initiative to speak, so Murong Qiao couldn’t be bothered to speak either. She only maintained the most basic courtesy and walked forward.

However, her gaze wandered around casually and she suddenly caught sight of a familiar and straight back.

His long legs were casually crossed. The well-tailored style of his suit made his broad shoulders, narrow waist, strong, thin, and beautiful. His slightly raised posture was wanton, and his sharp face was cold and handsome under the light.

Even from dozens of meters away, Murong Qiao could tell at a glance that it was Huo Yichen.

Without another word, she changed directions and headed in Huo Yichen’s direction.

Murong Qiao left in a hurry. Fortunately, Huo Yichen looked like he was discussing something with another person, so he had no intention of leaving. “We’re also very honored to be able to cooperate with the Huo Corporation this time. When the time comes, we’ll also…”

In the room, the people sitting opposite Huo Yichen were the director of this variety show, Xu Zhuo, and another person-in-charge.

Huo Yichen looked down at the phone on the table, wondering if the black screen would light up because of someone’s message. At the same time, he would split some attention to the cooperation.

The one in charge of the contract and a series of related matters was Ye Zhen.

But even if Huo Yichen didn’t speak, just sitting there was an existence that made people respect him.

Xu Zhuo and the person-in-charge could be said to be sitting respectfully in their seats. When they spoke to Ye Zhen, they constantly paid attention to the state of this President of the Huo Corporation, afraid that they would accidentally anger him.

“The most popular program now is Flicker. This is also the main reason why we chose it.”

Ye Zhen adjusted his gla.s.ses and began to negotiate with the other party meticulously.

Although it was only the preliminaries, the variety show with the acc.u.mulation of resources occupied the prime slot. It was only expected that it would become first in popularity.

Xu Zhuo nodded repeatedly and listened to Ye Zhen’s conditions very seriously.

The room for the discussion was on the first floor, but because this was an important place for the production team, no one would approach it. Moreover it was already so late, so they were not too particular about the location of the’ discussion.

However, this made it convenient for Murong Qiao to come over.

She leaned closer to the warm window and tiptoed slightly to see Huo Yichen sitting on a chair facing her.

His expression was clearly cold, but the fog produced by the cold night through the window made him look so handsome.

The moment Murong Qiao stuck her head out of the window, Huo Yichen also noticed the gaze on him, so he looked back.

At first, his gaze was as oppressive and sharp as a sharp blade, almost shooting straight over. Then, when he saw that the person outside the window was Murong Qiao, he instantly turned into water droplets like the melting glacier. Cold and gentle emotions acc.u.mulated in his eyes and gradually warmed up.

Seeing that he had seen her, Murong Qiao couldn’t help but chuckle..
