After Going Viral on a Dating Show, I'm Pampered by All-Chapter 259: Inviting her to make a comeback is naturally because she has value

Chapter 259: Chapter 259: Inviting her to make a comeback is naturally because she has value

"I could see that this contestant has some dance training, but the dance you performed this time was indeed a bit strange."

Director Huang also spoke up, suggesting it was more than just strange, he suspected it was... a girl group dance...

"Thank you for the encouragement, instructors, but I was just dancing randomly. I really can’t dance at all."

As soon as Jiang Chaoyuan’s words fell, not just a few instructors had stiff faces, but even the online comments were filled with question marks.

[???]

[Are you even listening to yourself? You claim you can’t dance, but how could your waist be so flexible! Too Versailles, this guy!]

[To be fair, even though he has a dance background, his dancing was really terrible.]

[I really can’t understand why he would perform a girl group dance in a boy group audition! The important thing is, he’s really flexible, he could wear a wig and say he’s a girl and I’d believe it.]

[Doesn’t everyone feel that this brother is very insecure? Clearly able to dance but too scared to admit it fearing criticism, so he just says he can’t dance at all, so pitiful!]

[I’m a fan now, an insecure sensitive brother like him needs my protection!]

[Rose Entertainment just sent this little trash? Can’t even dance well!]

Meanwhile, at Rose Entertainment, Sang Qiao was also scrolling through her phone, watching. Jiang Chaoyuan indeed had talent, improvising a dance to any music and still keeping the beat.

She saw that all three instructors unanimously gave a C grade encouragement rating, and urged Jiang Chaoyuan to work harder in the future. She was about to turn off her phone.

Then, suddenly from the screen, came the shocked voices of other contestants, "Isn’t he too bold?"

"An contestant rated only as C is actually sitting in the center position?"

Sang Qiao focused again and saw Jiang Chaoyuan swaggeringly sitting in the center, legs crossed, "Since the instructors let me choose my seat, I’ll take the center. I believe I’m very capable, I must debut from the center!"

Director Huang: "It’s good to have dreams."

[Amazing, this brother!]

[Have you no shame, looking at your own ability!]

The negative comments outnumbered the positive ones. Sang Qiao silently exited the page and turned off her phone.

"Jiaojiao, I just don’t understand you. Our company has so many capable contestants, why would you let a mediocre bumpkin participate? Just look at his speech on stage, it was a total embarrassment."

Sang Zheng couldn’t even bear to watch the program anymore; he felt second-hand embarrassment for Wang Danteng!

"It’s precisely because he’s mediocre. It’s no loss even if we give up on him, but letting him participate was beneficial."

Lu Jiaojiao had far more foresight than Mr. Sang. With many skilled contestants in the boy group auditions, and the involvement of Rose Entertainment, their contestants facing difficulties securing a debut from the center position.

So, she didn’t compete for the center... of course, she wouldn’t let Sang Qiao’s people get it either.

"I really don’t understand you." No matter how anxious Sang Zheng was, it mattered little, as it appeared he managed the company, but all decisions were actually made by Lu Jiaojiao.

This also frustrated him to no end, he was just a manager with no real power!

But thinking of the profits he’d receive once the company turned a profit, he endured.

"You don’t need to understand, how did it go when you contacted Meng Yun yesterday?"

"I already called and asked her, she is also interested in making a comeback but doesn’t quite trust us. I left her my number, but she hasn’t responded yet."

"I will go and talk to her in person." Without hesitation, Lu Jiao picked up the mobile phone from the table and dialed Meng Yun’s number.

The reason she had her number was because she saved it randomly during a reality show and had since forgotten to delete it after pushing Meng Yun to the back of her mind.

However, thinking about Meng Yun’s sneaky ways of framing Qiao, even paying to completely silence the drug-giver and successfully clearing her own suspicion, she indeed had some tricks up her sleeve.

It was a far cry from the time during the reality show when she just meekly followed Sang Shen around.

The call connected, and Lu Jiao got straight to the point, "This is Lu Jiao, previously Sang Jiao. Can we meet and talk?"

Meng Yun presumably didn’t expect Lu Jiao to contact her. After a pause, she finally opened her mouth, "Okay."

After hanging up, Lu Jiao sent Meng Yun an address, and they arranged to meet in a relatively quiet café.

They found a table in a secluded corner to sit down.

Meng Yun looked much more haggard than before, with noticeable crow’s feet at the corners of her eyes, making her seem suddenly ten years older.

She had also lost her youthful air, and her initial reaction to Lu Jiao’s invitation was one of stunned silence, recalling the old days when she probably hated Lu Jiao.

The woman was arrogantly unreasonable, relying on Sang Shen’s affection and never even considered her important.

Meng Yun had tried cautiously to please her, but Lu Jiao remained unmoved. However, now that Lu Jiao had opened a talent agency and even expressed interest in inviting her for a comeback, Meng Yun was indeed tempted.

Her life with the Gu Family was not happy. Although Mr. Gu was kind to her, he was also getting old.

And... deep inside, she had never been able to let go of Sang Shen, the man she had loved since her teenage years, who encapsulated her entire youth.

She had followed Sang Shen from college to graduation, then into the entertainment industry, from a nobody in Sang Shen’s world to eventually standing by his side, just to keep up with him and be with him.

But later...

Meng Yun clenched her fists in anguish, forcing herself to detach from the memories swirling in her head, and looked at Lu Jiao, "Tell me, why did you want to meet?"

"I believe someone already discussed this with you yesterday, about making a comeback."

"My popularity isn’t high, and you looking for me to make a comeback isn’t just a simple endorsement, is it? To put it bluntly, what do you want to use me for?"

After everything Meng Yun had been through, she was no fool, nor did she believe Lu Jiao had good intentions.

After the incident with Qiao, she harmed her whole family and her future. She profoundly understood that harboring intentions to harm others is unacceptable.

Now full of regret, she reflected countless nights on whether stepping out that one time had led her to her current predicament.

"Meng Yun, whether you believe me or not, I truly just want to support you. I need popular stars to enlarge my company. Here’s the contract. You can take it and look it over carefully."

Lu Jiao had guessed that Meng Yun would not compromise easily, so she pushed the contract toward her.

Meng Yun took it, half-doubtful, planning to go back and consult a lawyer carefully.

She stood up to leave, "I’ll consider it carefully."

"Alright, I’ll wait for your decision. Looking forward to our potential collaboration," Lu Jiao watched her leave.

Meng Yun really didn’t have much to attract her, and she was older, but Lu Jiao wanted her to join, obviously finding value in some aspect.

Lu Jiao also left the café. Having not returned to the Lu Family home for a long time, she hesitated before deciding whether to go back. As she passed by a school, she stumbled upon Madam Lu and He Shi picking up that illegitimate child from school!
