Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!-Chapter 774: I’ve Found Good Guests for You
Chapter 774: Chapter 774: I’ve Found Good Guests for You
Jiang Li hadn’t failed to notice.
The first impression this man gave her wasn’t very good.
His eyebrows and eyes raised in arrogance and his face sallow, his cheeks sunken.
He clearly seemed to be a man of deep desires.
Jiang Li didn’t want to get tangled up with him and promptly made room.
"Then come on in."
Xi Yang glanced at her and strode in, searching around the room for a while until a stud earring appeared in his palm, "Found it, this is the one."
Jiang Li nodded and sat down on the sofa.
But the man didn’t seem to intend to leave, instead, he stood there cherishing the stud earring.
"This was left to me by my grandmother, she wanted to see me wearing it on TV."
Jiang Li turned a page of her book, the sound thunderous.
Seeing that she had no intention of paying attention to him, Xi Yang felt somewhat deflated.
Yet, her coldness, like proud frost, also completely ignited his competitive spirit.
Xi Yang adjusted his mood and stepped forward, approaching her once more.
"What are you reading... the ’Artist Management Guide’? Are you also an artist?"
Jiang Li frowned and closed the book.
"Sir, now that you’ve found what you were looking for, can you leave?"
Xi Yang hadn’t expected her to issue him an eviction order directly, and after a moment of stunned hurt, he said, "I mean no harm, I just thought you looked familiar and wanted to get to know you. By the way, my name is Xi Yang, a trainee from Taiqi, what’s your name?"
He was quite confident in his ability to charm women.
After all, he was good-looking, tall, and had a pleasant voice, and lowering his stature slightly, there wasn’t a woman who would refuse him.
At least since middle school, his approach had never been rejected.
But Jiang Li just smiled, "I don’t want to get to know you."
Xi Yang was taken aback, the smile on his face freezing for a moment.
"Beauty, you’re being a little disrespectful here, aren’t you? It wouldn’t hurt to get to know each other, do I really repulse you that much?"
Jiang Li was about to speak when the door was knocked on again.
This time it was Ji Yanbai entering.
After seeing Xi Yang inside, he was also taken aback.
Is this Miss Jiang’s brother?
He’s not what I imagined...
Ji Yanbai bowed his head, set down his stuff, and was about to leave, when Jiang Li’s impatient voice rang out.
"Ji Yanbai, get this stranger out of here, he’s disturbing me."
Ji Yanbai stared at Xi Yang.
Ah, so he’s a stranger.
That explains why Jiang Li’s "brother" seemed so odd.
So he made no courtesy, grabbed Xi Yang, and threw him out.
Xi Yang, who was used to irregular sleeping habits and the constant presence of tobacco and alcohol, was no match for Ji Yanbai and could only be dumped harshly on the ground.
Ji Yanbai warned him coldly.
"Don’t let me see you again, stay away from our Miss Jiang."
Xi Yang felt humiliated.
He had always been the one adored by all, when had he ever been treated like this?
Miss?
Was this man her bodyguard?
Xi Yang felt a bit wary and, also afraid of being seen by the staff coming and going, could only leave with a dark face.
Just passing by the elevator, he saw a familiar figure walking out.
Xi Yang stopped and turned around.
Shiguang?
How did he get up to the tenth floor?
Jiang Shixu, however, didn’t notice him, carrying his guitar and walking forward with his head down, then gently knocked on the door of 1008 and walked in.
Xi Yang’s eyes widened at this scene.
Why did Shiguang go to Jiang Li’s dressing room?
Did they know each other?
After pondering for a moment, Xi Yang let out a cold laugh.
No wonder Jiang Li was so indifferent to him.
So, he was into that sort, huh.
Before heading to room 1008, he had already dug up Jiang Li’s background.
Jiang Li’s aunt was also the founder of Star Media, essentially making her half the capital.
No wonder Shiguang, a mere individual trainee, managed to pass five levels and six generals, sitting on par with him.
There was already a mountain to lean on.
Xi Yang narrowed his eyes as jealousy screamed wildly within him.
What did he have?
Looking effeminate, with an extremely timid personality, how could he catch Jiang Li’s eye?
He clenched his fist and went downstairs, but there was a blockage in his heart that he just couldn’t swallow down.
Jiang Shixu knocked on the door of room 1008, and the next second it was opened.
The moment he saw the person sitting on the sofa, his eyes widened with excitement and he ran over.
"Sister!"
Jiang Li also opened her arms and embraced him, smiling, "Shixu, it’s been a long time."
Jiang Shixu hugged the person in front of him tightly, his eyes nearly brimming with tears of joy.
"Sister, you really came, I’m so happy."
Ji Yanbai looked at the neatly dressed and clean-looking young boy before him and nodded in approval.
Yes, this was fitting for Miss Jiang’s brother.
Jiang Li ruffled Jiang Shixu’s hair and pulled him to sit down on the sofa.
"Haven’t had dinner yet, have you? I’ve brought some food, let’s eat together."
Jiang Shixu hadn’t had much of an appetite, but the moment Jiang Li opened the box, all the fragrances entered his nose and immediately stirred his taste buds.
Jiang Shixu only took one bite and immediately recognized the taste.
"Sister, did you make these?"
Jiang Li was surprised, "You can tell?"
Jiang Shixu bashfully lowered his head, "Of course I can tell when it’s food made by sister."
"Well, eat up then."
In a short while, Jiang Shixu had wiped out all the food on the table.
While cleaning up, Jiang Li started to show concern for his competition.
"I saw your second-round performance; it wasn’t bad, it was a breakthrough from your comfort zone."
Jiang Shixu bit his lip, "But... our team ranked second to last, and my performance... was poor."
"What’s the harm in that? A single contest doesn’t define anything. It just might mean that this stage isn’t suited for you." Jiang Li said, "You know your own capabilities, don’t let others’ opinions sway you so easily."
Jiang Shixu was deeply moved, tears shimmering in his eyes.
"Thank you, sister. I understand." frёewebηovel.cѳm
"Don’t constrain yourself too much, you still need to eat."
"Okay, sister."
"By the way," Jiang Li said with a smile, "for the group forming night competition, you can invite guest stars to support you, right?"
"Yes," Jiang Shixu nodded.
This was also a special rule of "Youth Trainee."
To showcase everyone’s talents, each trainee could invite a guest star for support.
Initially, this was meant to add more diversity to the stage, but over time, this segment took on a different flavor.
The trainees with capital and backing spared no expense in inviting all sorts of big names and bands, all to make their own stage performances more spectacular.
He had heard today that Xi Yang had exclusively invited the famous international band called time.
With such a showstopper present, his chances of winning were slim.
However, Jiang Li smiled, "I’ve already scouted a good candidate for you in advance, so don’t worry about that. Just focus on your performance."
