The Audition(Part-1)

"Hello, Ying Yue I found the information you wanted."

"Everything?"

"Yes. The wife is Tian Qiu. She was grown up in an orphanage. She is a humanist. Has been donating every penny she earned. She fell in love with that guy when he donated a huge sum of money to the orphanage. I found out he wasn't the donator. He used to work as a private driver before he was kicked out. It was that family's donation. He just came to deliver it. Poor girl still doesn't know. He lives in the city while his wife and three kids live in a countryside village.

"Three? Don't they have two kids?"

"Apparently no. Two boys, one girl. The eldest girl is 14 years old. The second boy is 10 years old. Both are meritorious students. The third son is 8 years. Last year he was diagnosed with a brain tumor. His treatment costs a lot. Guess that's the reason why he did that."

"Is his wife the same? Ready to do anything for money?"

"No, she is different. She had chances. She used to work at a bar. And she is pretty for a mother of three kids. So, many hotshots were willing to give huge sums of the money in return for sleeping with them. But she rejected them all. When the bar owner pressurized her, she left her job.''

"How can you find so much information within six hours? And you are not even in the country. Like I called you at five pm and it is eleven pm now. Just how?"

"I have resources."

"Sometimes I really envy your resources."

"You embarrass me."

"Then I will need you to find information on someone else."

"Who"

"Zheng Kai."

"Zheng what?"

"Zheng Kai. One of the judges of TBOTB this year."

"Piece of cake for me."

"And give me the address of Tian Qiu."

"Ok. But isn't tomorrow your first face-to-face audition?"

"Yes. It is called the second audition. Don't worry. I won't mess around now. Not until the second round is over. After that, I will proceed with my plan."

Can you tell me what your plan is?

No. I'm sorry but I want to do it alone and secretly. Don't tell a soul about our conversation. Do I have your word?"

"You have my word, ma'am."

"That's good then. I'm always relieved because of you."

"Why?"

"Well, you take very good care of me and you always prioritize my opinions. Also, my secrets are always safe with you. Do I need more reason? Anyway, goodnight then."

"Wait, you always cut the call after you are done. Are you not even curious about how I'm doing?"

"No, it's not that. It's just so much happened within two days that I'm really tired."

"Didn't the truck accident happen today in the morning? What happened yesterday?"

"In a line, Jingfei tried to harm me by pushing me into the swimming pool."

"What? A direct attack? Does your mom know?"

"No, everyone thinks it was an accident."

"Jingfei that bitch. I will skin her alive after I return."

"If skinning her alive solved my problem, I would have done it myself. But she deserves more punishment."

'For killing my parents, my grandpa, my dream, my unborn child, and me.''

"Anyway, I have to go to sleep. Otherwise, if mom knows that I'm up at eleven pm, she will be really angry. Goodnight."

"Goodnight."

Ying Yue entered the audition room when a pretty lady came and said, "Miss Jiang Ying Yue, you can come in."

There were four judges. Feng Chonglin, Hou Ling, Meng Jianguo, and Zheng Kai.

'Feng Chonglin, Hou Ling, and Meng Jianguo won't be a problem as I knew them closely in my previous life. But I wonder what type of question Zheng Kai will ask.'

Ying Yue looked at Feng Chonglin at first as he started talking.

Name: Feng Chonglin

Gender: Male

Age: 32

Height:5''8

Weight:65

Understanding: Good

Current Emotion: Neutral

"Miss Jiang Ying Yue, you were selected in the online audition among many others. How do you feel about that?"

'She should feel honored and delighted. She should be grateful. Otherwise, it is a no-go for me.'

"I feel honored and delighted. I'm really grateful that I got selected. I will try my best to not disappoint you." Ying Yue said with a smile.

Then she looked at Hou Ling.

Name: Hou Ling

Gender: Male

Age:30

Height: 5''9

Weight:61

Understanding: Good

Current Emotion: Neutral

"There is a total of 100 auditionees including you. We will only take 40 auditionees. Others will get rejected. Why should you belong to the 40 people group instead of the 60 people?"

'This year's girl group will have a sexy concept. A girl with an attitude is exactly what we need. Let's see how confident she is about her dance and herself.'

"Out of thousands of applicants in the first online audition, you selected 100 auditionees. I'm one of them. It means you like my dance and singing. I have a pretty face without any doubt. The only thing you haven't judged yet is my personality. I come from a good family and received a great education. And if you don't know I have been the winner of many dance competitions, singing competitions, and even rap competitions. So I don't see a reason why you won't accept me.'' She gave a wide smile.

All the judges looked surprised by her reply except Zheng Kai. Then Ying Yue looked at Meng Jianguo.

Name: Meng Jianguo

Gender: Male

Age: 41

Height:5''7

Weight:66

Understanding: Good

Current Emotion: Excited

"How big is your ambition? If you get selected in this round and all the future rounds and become a trainee, what will be your goal?"

'Hope she is very ambitious.'

"To hit the world chart.''

This had everyone including Zheng Kai shocked.

Now, a bit nervous inside, Ying Yue looked at Zheng Kai.

Name: Zheng Kai

Gender: Male

Age: 26

Height:5''9

Weight:58

Understanding: Low

Current Emotion: Unable to detect emotion.

'Wow, so young! Can a guy this young even qualify for being a judge in TBOTB? Wait, what was that? Unable to detect emotion? I'm seeing this for the first time. What does it mean? He is constantly creating exceptions in my well-planned life. No matter what happens I won't let this guy ruin my plan or my life. ' Ying Yue thought to herself.

"I have nothing to ask."

"What?" The other three judges asked at the same time.

"Yes. I have no question."

'What is this guy doing?' Ying Yue became a little uncomfortable.

'I knew it. What a newbie like him will know!' Ying Yue caught Hou Ling thinking about it.
