Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!-Chapter 773: I am the Trainee Here

Zhao Lang left not long ago when Jiang Li called Ji Yanbai over.

She planned to visit Taiqi training camp today to see Jiang Shixu.

The results of the second public evaluation had come out, and Jiang Shixu’s ranking was somewhat less than ideal.

She happened to have some free time recently and could bring him some things during her visit.

When she arrived at Taiqi Entertainment Company, it was just around noon. Jiang Li went directly to the office of Chen Qijun by elevator.

Chen Qijun was delighted to see her, grabbed her hand, and chatted about a plethora of things in the entertainment industry.

"You want to visit someone at the training camp, huh? Sure, it’s perfect timing, as they’ll be taking a break soon. I’ll have a staff member take you there, no problem. Shen Lan and I have a good relationship anyway, and you’re her niece after all."

Chen Qijun knew a bit about the affair between Shen Lan and Jiang Mingyu, but she wasn’t too clear on the details.

For instance, she had no idea that Shiguang was the son of Shen Lan and Jiang Mingyu.

To avoid any complications, Jiang Li didn’t tell her the identity of the person she was visiting.

Training camp.

The trainees returned to their dormitories, exhausted after a morning of training.

Everyone felt more relaxed after the second public evaluation had ended.

Everyone except Jiang Shixu.

This time he was assigned to a group of strangers for the evaluation, and the pieces they drew weren’t well-suited for him. Despite his popularity, he didn’t score highly on the stage performance and even risked dropping out of Class A.

So, even after training was over, as soon as Jiang Shixu returned to his dorm, he picked up his repaired guitar.

Chen Taifan couldn’t bear to watch anymore and went up to pull the score from him.

"Shiguang, have you lost your mind? Staring at a piece of sheet music without eating or drinking—do you want to live?"

Jiang Shixu looked up at him with a pitiful expression.

"But Taifan, the mentors are right. Even though I have a gifted voice, I still have shortcomings that were exposed during this second public evaluation. I must practice urgently."

After the second evaluation, it’s the night of the group formation, and he had promised his sister he’d achieve his best result possible.

"Is it your fault though? It’s just a bit of bad luck. You’re not proficient in rock in the first place, and with Xi Yang and the others taking advantage of the situation, that’s why you were pushed out. Why are you so down?"

Jiang Shixu shook his head, "But as a singer, you shouldn’t have any weaknesses."

The audience in the live streaming room was moved by this scene.

"My little Shiguang is the youngest, yet he carries the greatest sense of responsibility."

"Don’t be sad, little brother. In your sister’s eyes, you’re the best!"

"Yeah, I think Shiguang’s performance was really good. He was brave to challenge himself."

"He’s working so hard; if he doesn’t debut as the center position, who will?!"

But Chen Taifan was holding onto the score tightly, unwilling to let go.

"No, I can’t watch you collapse like this. You’re already thin enough! How can you skip meals?" Ling Bei also came over to persuade him.

As they were arguing, someone suddenly knocked on the door.

It was a staff member.

"Student Shiguang, someone is looking for you. Please go to room 1008."

The three of them were taken aback.

Chen Taifan looked at Shiguang and then at the staff member. "Who is it? Aren’t we not allowed visitors?"

The staff member shook their head. "I don’t know, I’m just the messenger."

Jiang Shixu stood up, nodding politely. "Okay, I’ll go there in a moment."

After the staff member left, the two others crowded around gossiping.

"Shiguang, you’re something else, managing to have visitors under such strict rules?"

"Yeah, my mother wanted to bring me something the other day, and she was refused."

Jiang Shixu, with his head down, shook it. "I... I don’t know."

His ears had already turned red early on.

He had a good guess as to who it was.

...

"Brother Yang, your performance was too spectacular, truly Taiqi’s ace!"

"Brother Yang, with such a high ranking, you’re definitely going to be the first one on debut night."

"Exactly, that Shiguang actually thought he could compete with you, no chance!"

Xi Yang was surrounded by a crowd, and although his face showed little expression, his eyes were brimming with pride.

"Last time’s first place was everyone’s achievement, so I asked the staff to order French cuisine for everyone. It’s in the lounge on the tenth floor," Xi Yang said. "But keep it down; this is something I’ve arranged on the sly."

"Got it, Brother Yang."

"Ah, Brother Yang truly is the seed player Taiqi set their eyes on, even getting this kind of treatment. We’re just riding on your coattails."

The six people hurriedly made way for Xi Yang to enter the elevator.

Upon reaching the tenth floor, they quickly held the elevator doors open to let Xi Yang out.

The moment he stepped out of the elevator, the adjacent elevator doors opened as well.

Xi Yang immediately noticed the woman stepping out from inside.

Although her gaze lingered on him for only a moment, he couldn’t help the palpitations that followed.

What a beautiful girl.

Her demeanor, appearance, and figure were all top-notch.

What was even more rare was that when her cool and aloof eyes swept over him, it made his heart itch with a peculiar glee.

He had seen countless women.

But he had never come across such a prime example.

Was she a Taiqi artist?

Someone beside him recognized her.

"Isn’t that Jiang Li? What’s she doing here at our place?"

"Jiang Li?" Xi Yang finally shifted his gaze away from her, asking curiously.

"Yeah, Jiang Li," the person beside him nodded. "She’s pretty popular online. I even followed the variety show she participated in before. I didn’t expect her to be even more stunning in person."

"Wow, she’s truly gorgeous, I thought she was some big star," another chimed in.

Xi Yang took another deep look at Jiang Li, watched as she entered the room at the end of the hallway, then curled his lips into a smile.

"She is quite beautiful."

She was his type.

...

Jiang Li sat down in the lounge.

The staff informed her that Jiang Shixu had just finished training and would take a while longer to come over.

Jiang Li nodded in acknowledgment, handed over the food she brought to Ji Yanbai to warm up, and then sat down on the sofa, flipping through the book in front of her.

Within minutes, there was a knock at the door.

Jiang Li, surprised, put down the book.

Had Jiang Shixu already arrived so quickly?

She went to open the door, only to find not Jiang Shixu on the other side but a strange man.

The man had bleached gray-white hair and dressed in a trendy and handsome manner. On seeing her, he looked slightly surprised before checking the room number.

"Ah, is this 1008?"

Jiang Li nodded, "Yes, what is it?"

The man gave a smile and said, "I’m a trainee here, and I left something in this room earlier. May I come in and look for it?"

His tone was polite, but his demeanor betrayed him.

As he spoke, his eyes fixed intently on Jiang Li, filled with unabashed desire.
