I Think Highly Of Her
ng Fu did not say anything in response. She did not know much about Ye Shuning, but when Tang Ze said that she used to participate in youth singing contests, she knew that Ye Shuning indeed had ability. People who graduated from youth singing contests were different from people who erged from talent shows. They were the top seedlings who would beco the future’s artists.
Tang Ze was not exaggerating when he said that she was a “big shot” who had participated in youth singing contests. Each of the four ntors thought highly of different trainees. They had divided opinions of who would erge stronger. For example, Wen Yu and Tang Ze thought highly of ng Fu. However, the four ntors were in complete agreent that Ye Shuning was the person to watch.
ng Fu was not surprised by this.
“Of course, you shouldn’t undervalue yourself because of this and you don’t have to compare yourself with her.” Tang Ze smiled, his expression friendly and gentle. “ntor Xi and I can’t compare with her. She has a real talent gifted from heaven. You are very talented as well. It is not easy to survive in the entertainnt industry, but I think highly of you.”
ng Fu had ranked fourth in the online polls. That had been pre-arranged by the program crew. However, she did have so fans who supported her online.
Tang Ze corrected so of her pronunciation problems. ng Fu tried practicing and realized that she was much better now. It was indeed easier to have a ntor to guide her.
“ntor Tang, do you have a voice problem?” ng Fu took notes on the last point that he ntioned and looked up.
Her face had exquisite features and a small dimple on the left when she smiled.
Tang Ze was sitting on a chair. He held a thermos flask in one hand and a notebook in the other. Hearing these words, he turned his head sideways to look at ng Fu, saying lightly, “It’s a chronic problem. It’s okay.”
“Alright.” ng Fu put the notebook in her pocket. She understood what he ant. She bowed to Tang Ze with a smile, a well-behaved and delicate look on her face. “Thank you, ntor.”
Tang Ze, who was still holding the thermos flask, did not quite understand what ng Fu ant when she said “alright.”
“Has she left?” After ng Fu left, Tang Ze’s manager ca in from the outside, glanced in the direction she had left in, and raised his eyebrows.
“Yeah.” Tang Ze coughed softly. “She is really talented. Don’t underestimate her just because she is the fourth most popular trainee. By the ti we form a group for the last performance, I believe she will surpass Nan Qiu to take the second spot.”
The manager glanced at Tang Ze and said nothing.

In the studio at the training camp.
Su Di handed the docunts to Zhao Fan.
Zhao Fan took a look, and saw the Level B contract on top of the docunts. She paused before saying, “This…”
“Pass it to your boss.” Su Di did not know about Su Cheng’s plan, but he trusted Su Cheng’s judgnt. “One can only profit from offering Ms. ng a contract.”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Fan thought deeply. Tianle dia had never formally signed a contract with ng Fu. Back then, the Jiang family had invested money so that ng Fu could enter the entertainnt industry. Most people believed that she was rely fooling around and the company did not take her seriously either.
ng Fu was still an unknown artist despite two years of effort. She had a small number of fans, but other than that, most people were die-hard haters. The main reason was that, apart from her looks, ng Fu did not have any other skills. Moreover, her actions usually resulted in a string of criticism. It was difficult for an artist who had not finished high school to have any achievents in the entertainnt industry. There was no future for her.
Therefore, Tianle dia did not really have a plan for ng Fu. It was only after Zhao Fan recruited Su Cheng as her assistant a year ago that they had seen an uptick in resources, subsequently participated in Best Idol.
This was one of the reasons why Zhao Fan had always been in awe of Su Cheng. Zhao Fan was deep in thought upon hearing Su Di’s words. ng Fu’s last performance had really moved her. There was also the previous evaluation as well…
Zhao Fan was not a newcor, she had worked hard in the entertainnt industry for 15 years. She could still tell if a person could beco popular or not. If ng Fu maintained her current standard, she would ask the company to provide more resources to ng Fu.
“I understand.” Zhao Fan took the docunts from Su Di. “You can tell Brother Cheng not to worry.”
ng Fu ca looking for Zhao Fan after her lessons with Tang Ze. Zhao Fan was in the midst of contacting Tianle dia.
“Ah, perfect timing.” Zhao Fan gathered her stuff and put her bag on the table. “I’m going back to the company and I might bring back good news for you.”
“Oh.” ng Fu did not ask what the good news was. She yawned lazily. “Bring sothing on your way back. In my study room, there is a box with black paper pasted on it in the third drawer on the left of my study desk.”
She threw a key to Zhao Fan.
“Okay.” Zhao Fan knew that ng Fu was referring to her study room at Yizhong.

Tianle dia.
“Manager An, Manager Zhao wants to talk to you.” Manager An’s assistant knocked on the door and ca in with a docunt.
“Manager Zhao?” Manager An raised his head.
The assistant replied respectfully, “Zhao Fan.”
Manager An pressed the mouse button without moving his eyes. “I’m going to see Brother Qian later.”
Brother Qian, the fad manager of Tianle dia, had helped several A-listers rise to fa. Even Manager An had to greet Tianle dia’s prized manager as “Brother Qian.” He had always been at the Beijing headquarters. Now that he had suddenly been assigned to T City, Manager An made sure to be very mindful and treated him with respect.
“I understand.” The assistant understood his implied aning.
He left without making any noise and closed the office door.
“Sorry, Sister Zhao.” The assistant smiled apologetically at Zhao Fan. “Manager An is attending to an important guest and he has no ti right now. If you have anything to hand to him, you can pass it to directly.”
Zhao Fan smiled bitterly. She knew that she was no longer as powerful as she had been in the past, and that her words were taken lightly. “Please hand this docunt to Manager An.”
It was a docunt compiled by Su Cheng, analyzing ng Fu’s future position in the industry. After reading this docunt, Zhao Fan finally had mustered the courage to go to the head office. Su Cheng was simply a genius manager.
“Okay.” The assistant smiled. “I will definitely pass it to him.”
After Zhao Fan left, the assistant scanned through the docunt curiously, before entering the office respectfully and handing it to Manager An.
“ng Fu? Best Idol?” After listening to the assistant’s explanation, Manager An frowned slightly and repeated the na. He did not have any impression of her. The company had in fact discussed the “Best Idol” show in board eting recently. They had analyzed the potential of Ye Shuning, Nan Qiu, and several others, but he had never heard of ng Fu. He nodded indifferently. “I got it.”
He dismissed the assistant. He then threw the docunt aside.
