Pei Ziheng did not speak.
The girl in front of him was so beautiful, with a singing voice so sweet it was like the sound of nature. It was extrely easy for her to beco more powerful than Li Bingyu. However, that ant...
“Brother Pei, why aren’t you talking?” Xia Ling looked at him cautiously. “Am I too stupid to beco more powerful than Sister Li Bingyu?”
“No.” Pei Ziheng returned to his senses and comforted her. “Brother Pei will help you beco more and more powerful. Don’t think too much over it and just listen to my arrangents.”
“Yes!” The little girl felt reassured and nodded.
Pei Ziheng fell into deep thought.
For a few days, he was ill at ease and made a few mistakes when the company conveyed instructions. This was sothing that had never happened before. His confidant Chu Chen looked at him cautiously. “Boss, do you have sothing on your mind?”
Pei Ziheng frowned slightly and rubbed his temples. He was silent for a long while before saying, “Xiao Ling wants to beco powerful.”
“Isn’t that a good thing?” Chu Chen could not understand. “When you first picked her up, didn’t you already want to cultivate her into the next head of Imperial Entertainnt? Now that she’s self-motivated, you’re getting twice the effect with half the work.”
Pei Ziheng felt frustrated but did not know where this kind of irritability was coming from. He used his long-standing self-control to calm himself and said, “If she wants to beco stronger, she has to attend the training camp. The training camp is a boarding system.”
Chu Chen finally knew where the crux of the issue was. Pei Ziheng did not want Xia Ling to leave his side?
He couldn’t help but laugh.
“What are you laughing at?” Pei Ziheng was unhappy.
Chu Chen controlled his laughter. “Haha, Boss, you’re really...” He thought of how to phrase his thoughts. “This is probably the mood of a worried parent to a child? I heard my mother say that when she sent to boarding kindergarten, she had cried secretly a few tis.”
Pei Ziheng stopped rubbing his temples. Could it be that he had beco an effeminate woman like Chu Chen’s mother? How long had it been since Xiao Ling had been fetched from the orphanage? However, at the thought of her leaving his side—even if just to stay at a boarding house, the reluctance in his heart was still unable to dissolve.
“You are the Chairman. You have the final say.” Chu Chen stopped laughing at him and gave him a suggestion seriously. “You can let Miss Xia attend a day school. The training camp side wouldn’t object.”
Wasn’t it just using his privileges, it wasn’t anything big.
Pei Ziheng had been in a state of confusion over the matter, but Chu Chen saw through the problem and his suggestion was like a sudden flash of insight to him. “Yes, I can let Xiao Ling attend day school!” His gloomy expression dissipated. He stood up and strode away with big steps.
Back at ho, Xia Ling wore a cotton bear pajamas and greeted him. “Brother Pei, Brother Pei! You’re back!”
Pei Ziheng looked at her gently. “What are you doing?”
“I learned etiquette from Ms. Sofia in the afternoon. She praised for learning well! She rewarded by letting take a rest in the afternoon, so I went outside to pick a lot of wildflowers. Then I took a shower and was about to take an afternoon nap when I heard Nanny Zhou opening the door for you before I fell asleep. So I ca down!”
“Disobedient.” He caressed her soft long hair, his voice full of affection. “Let’s go, Brother Pei will accompany you for your afternoon nap.”
“Okay, okay.” The little girl was very happy. She tugged onto his sleeves and went upstairs.
He said to accompany her for her afternoon nap, but actually... he was really accompanying her for her afternoon nap. Xia Ling climbed onto her bed and covered herself with her blanket obediently while Pei Ziheng set up his stuff on a desk beside her bed to handle official duties.
Xia Ling stared at him and called softly, “Brother Pei.”
“Yes?” He averted his gaze from the official docunts and asked.
“The thing I told you last ti...” She was a little apprehensive. “What thod do you have to make more powerful?”
Pei Ziheng had co back ho early today because he had set a decision on this matter. At the mont, his eyes brought a hint of a smile, but he wanted to tease her. “Guess?”
“I can’t guess it.” The little girl simply couldn’t fall asleep. She got up from the bed. “Anyways, I want to beco very powerful. I want to sing well, dance well, have lots and lots of fans, I want to be better than Sister Li Bingyu in everything! Yes, I want to beco a big star!”
The little girl was finally clear on her dream.
“Yes, then beco a big star,” Pei Ziheng said gently. He told Xia Ling about Imperial Entertainnt having a training camp that was specially designed to cultivate and train the future big stars. He told her she could go inside and learn how to beco a big star.
Xia Ling cheered. “I knew Brother Pei would have a way!” Then, she asked, “What do I have to do to get into Imperial Entertainnt’s training camp?”
Pei Ziheng said, “I’ll inform the training camp side. In a few days, you will join the freshn of the year.”
“The freshn?” Xia Ling was very curious. “Are there a lot of people?”
“There are a lot of people every year,” Pei Ziheng explained patiently to her. “Imperial Entertainnt’s training camp is the best training camp in the entire entertainnt industry. It’s a holy place for all the children who want to beco big stars. Every year’s examinations are very strict. We screen through them layer by layer and only those who pass the screening can enter the training camp. But even so, there are many people.”
“Screening? Do I have to go through it too?”
“You? You don’t have to,” Pei Ziheng said. “You’re my person.”
“Oh...” Xia Ling hugged her pillow and rolled over on the bed for a while before she raised her head and looked at Pei Ziheng with sparkling eyes. “Brother Pei, I want to enter the screening.”
“Why?” Brother Pei frowned slightly. If it was any other child who heard that she would enter Imperial Entertainnt without screening, she would be over the moon, so how could she want to be part of the screening? “The screening has very fierce competition.”
“I...” Xia Ling bit her lip. “I just want to see if I’m actually good. You all say that I sing well, but I’ve yet to properly compete with others.”
“Didn’t you win in the last ‘Midsumr Lady’ competition?”
“That’s because of you,” Xia Ling said. In the flower banquet, even though Pei Ziheng had told all the Young Masters to hide the truth about voting for her from her, she couldn’t stop her enemies from telling her!—Pei Jingyu and Pei Jingshan couldn’t wait to tell her after finding out the truth. They had even scolded her for being shaless.
“I want a fair competition based on my own strength.” She looked pleadingly at Pei Ziheng. “I don’t want others to scold for relying on you.”
“Who scolded you?” Pei Ziheng’s tone was a little heavy.
“Sister Jingyu and Jingshan they all.” Xia Ling bit her lip again.
“Okay.” Pei Ziheng did not say much, he simply told her, “I’ll get soone to help you with the registration procedures for the training camp. You just prepare well for the competition.”
“Yay!” The little girl cheered. “Thank you, Brother Pei! Brother Pei, you’re the best person in the world!” She smiled. Her bright smile seed to be able to dissipate all the dark clouds in the world.
Pei Ziheng looked at her with so disappointnt. The longer he stayed with her, the more he felt that...
His little girl was really beautifully alluring.
