I was persecuted and turned into a teenage idol

Su Jian hesitated for a moment: [Um... what does Teacher Lu mean?]

"Here's the thing, I think you have a lot of potential, so I'd like to mentor you personally. When are you available?"

"...?"

"Wait, this guy..."

I……

Did you encounter any unspoken rules or unfair practices?

Good grief, I haven't even stepped into the entertainment industry yet, and the unspoken rules have already come knocking on my door?

Isn't Lu Hanfei quite popular? He shouldn't lack female fans, so why did he take a liking to me?

Is it...

"Because it's my virginity..." Suddenly, I remembered how the other person looked me up and down when I said on stage that I had no romantic experience.

Su Jian suddenly realized, but was momentarily speechless with embarrassment.

"What do we do now?"

Chapter 13.13. Character design is a cute girl.

If I rashly refuse... this guy will probably give me a good drink.

But not refusing... Please! Am I really supposed to deliver it to your door?!

Although she had no experience in relationships, Su Jian wasn't stupid and understood this guy's purpose in an instant.

"Logically speaking, a guy like this shouldn't lack women... I guess it's because of what I just said. Tsk! Too much talk leads to mistakes!"

A young, popular heartthrob like Lu Hanfei certainly doesn't lack women, but perhaps they're attracted to him because he's a virgin and hasn't entered the industry yet, making him seem easy to seduce...

"But brother... I've let you down."

Su Jian chuckled as she looked at her own body, then lifted up her two large steamed buns.

"But I'm a man!"

Of course, these are things that cannot be told to the other party.

That being the case...

She glanced around, then opened her phone again and found that Lu Hanfei had already sent another message, seemingly impatient.

Don't worry, I mean no harm. I just feel like I see a reflection of myself when I first entered this industry in you. You're very similar to me, which is why I'm willing to help you.

"Shit!"

If I were a naive young girl, I might have actually been fooled by you, you scoundrel!

【Teacher Lu, I'm sorry.】 Su Jian replied with a cold laugh, 【Thank you for your kindness, but I've already enrolled in a training course, and I also have to work, so I'm afraid I won't have time.】

Before Lu Hanfei could reply, she quickly added: "[I'm a bit busy right now, so I'll have to log off first. Sorry, Mr. Lu!]"

Mission accomplished!

Now, no matter what Lu Hanfei posts, I won't reply.

Although this might still offend the other party, at least... we didn't completely break off relations.

"It seems like everyone who wants to enter the entertainment industry has to go through this hurdle..."

This is the first time I've encountered unspoken rules, but it certainly won't be the only time.

How should I deal with this situation if I encounter it again in the future?

Should we tell Ye Xing?

Su Jian stared at her phone for a moment, lost in thought.

However, it was already past midnight, and Lu Hanfei really hadn't sent any more messages.

"Oops! I dropped my cigarette ash! If Ye Xing sees it, I'm doomed!!!"

In a daze, I realized that the cigarette had almost burned out, and the ash was scattered all over the ground.

Su Jian hurriedly put down her phone and began cleaning up the crime scene.

……

"Oh?"

Sitting in the back of the van, looking at the replies on the screen, Lu Hanfei raised his eyebrows and smiled with interest.

"Looks like she really is a naive newbie?"

"Brother, a new target?" The middle-aged driver in the front seat turned around and grinned. Despite being ten or twenty years older than Lu Hanfei, he had a humble demeanor. "Which celebrity is it this time?"

Lu Hanfei smiled without saying a word, and after a moment of silence, he turned off his phone.

"Keep driving."

He leaned back in his chair, a glint of lust flashing in his eyes.

"Such an innocent little girl should be slowly boiled like a frog in warm water, then eaten up bit by bit!!"

……

"The vocal coach is inside."

Following behind Ye Xing, Su Jian looked around and heard him talking non-stop.

"To avoid exposure and to make the show more authentic, the company will try its best not to interfere with the show. In other words, if you want to debut, you still have to rely on yourself the most."

"Rely on myself?" Su Jian was dumbfounded. "But I... can't sing or dance, and I didn't learn anything during the months I spent in Thailand."

"Who told you that you have to be talented to get into the entertainment industry?" Ye Xing scoffed. "With your current looks, you're already 50% sure. The rest is just your persona! As for singing, dancing, and so on, they're just bonuses."

"...That seems to make sense."

Thinking about it carefully, it does make sense. Lu Hanfei, who wanted to take advantage of her, was just a guy who was famous for his looks, sang terribly, and acted like a duck.

If he can do it, then I... ptooey! I can do it too!

“That being said, ability is also very important. The company can occasionally help you behind the scenes, but if it's too obvious, it will only backfire,” Ye Xing continued. “The boss has already said that he won't help you unless absolutely necessary, do you understand?”

"Mmm." Actually, it's not really that "mmm"...

Ye Xing suddenly stopped and turned around: "Then let me ask you, do you know what your persona is?"

"Uh..." Su Jian blinked, "W-what?"

"Cute and adorable girl!" Ye Xing said in a very serious tone, using an extremely embarrassing term, "It's that kind of innocent, kind, cute, and charming girl... the kind of girl that no one would guess is a boy!"

Su Jian nodded: "Oh..."

"So from now on, whether you're filming a show or living in real life, you absolutely must remember to show your cute side, your soft and gentle side, you understand?"

"I understand perfectly."

"We've arrived."

Before they knew it, they had arrived at a simply decorated recording studio, where a middle-aged man with dyed silver hair was sitting.

"Mr. Ye." Nodding to Ye Xing, the middle-aged man then looked at Su Jian, "You can call me Teacher Li. Now come in with me."

"Ok."

Su Jian nodded heartily, and when she felt Ye Xing's gaze, she grinned and put her hands in a "rookie" pose in front of her face.

"Okay, Teacher Li~"

Teacher Li: "...(glances at you a few times) Come in."

"Um... okay."

How embarrassing!

However, only Ye Xing and Lin Jinglong knew that he was originally a man, and he absolutely could not reveal it now.

Left with no other choice, Su Jian could only maintain a ladylike and cute demeanor, slowly following behind Teacher Li.

"Now I'll teach you how to pronounce words."

……

"Cough cough... cough cough cough!!!"

Taking the water from Ye Xing's hand, Su Jian leaned against the wall with one hand and clutched her throat with the other, coughing incessantly.

Several hours of continuous music training left her exhausted, her throat itchy, and she struggled with vocalization, sheet music...

The most important thing is the music theory... it really gave me a headache.

If I had studied this hard, would I have ever had to have my parents called in before?!

"There's one more music lesson," Ye Xing said coolly, pushing up his sunglasses.

"Please, let me rest for a bit!" Now that it was just the two of them, Su Jian dared to sit down openly. "You told me to participate in the show, but you didn't tell me to learn this kind of nonsense."

"This is the boss's order. If you really want to repay the 340 million... then you have to have some real skills, otherwise you'll be eliminated after earning money for only a few months."

So they want to use me to make money for a few more years? Damn it!

But... should I pay back the money?

Those two short words struck a nerve, and instantly reminded him of his younger brother, whose fate was now unknown.

Just as Ye Xing said, if you really want to stay popular for a long time... then you still need to have real skills.

Without talent, even if he debuts, he'll probably fade into obscurity quickly and won't be able to repay the 340 million, unable to redeem himself. Then Ah Wei will also...

With a whoosh, Su Jian suddenly stood up and silently opened the door.

"What are you doing?" Ye Xing frowned, about to draw his gun.

"Didn't you say there was one more class?" Su Jian turned her head to the side. "I'm going to class."

"Ok?"

The hand that was about to draw the gun stopped abruptly.
