Grab The Heroine and Run Away Ch.31.1

Heruite Jewelry, Keruite (Royal) Perfume, globally renowned red-blooded brands, and also the most low-profile luxury brands among the top ten global red-blooded brands. They were born in history, once serving the Blue Nation’s royal family and upper nobility. They grew up alongside the Blue Nation, and to this day, they remain the royal supply brands of the Blue Nation.

In this restless era, Heruite and Keruite are like two elegant noble ladies. Dressed in intricately layered court gowns, holding pristine lace umbrellas, they stroll together under the sunlight, whispering among the blooming flowers. Though their movements are unhurried, a multitude of followers trail behind, and the gazes from below linger on them, enamored for a century.

Although from another perspective, it’s merely their prices that are enough to make ordinary people look up to them.

However, whether it was Heruite or Keruite, behind them, there was a common name – Aston.

The clothes and bags adorned with the neat patterns of Aston had appeared on the runway, major award ceremonies, and dazzling dance nights… In this world of fame and fortune, anyone seen wearing them was either a top superstar or a renowned wealthy elite.

Only these well-known figures could afford to purchase or rent the world’s few pieces of haute couture.

At this moment, these symbol-laden garments were laid out before the forty-two trainees who had yet to make their debut. Like exquisite cakes displayed in a showcase, the girls’ sparkling eyes reflected on the glossy glass.

Aston, one of the world’s top eight blue-blooded families.

Compared to the two elegant and charming noble young ladies, Aston was more akin to a refined gentleman. He was restrained and polite, blending taste with trends, and courteously receiving guests from all directions.

Coincidentally, Xu Heran also knew someone from the Aston family.

Diana Aston, once a shining star on the silver screen, a symbol of an era, her purple eyes were referred to as a Blue Nation treasure. Her graceful image was a goddess in the hearts of countless people. Perhaps some might not know her name, but if they saw her violet eyes, her angelic face from her youth, they would surely realize – so she was the one I saw in XXXX!

This widely renowned actress also held another title: the Duchess of Aston, a prestigious title in the Blue Nation, allowing her to share afternoon tea with the current king.

In this century, the king’s presence resembled more of a national mascot, and noble titles were merely symbols of status. However, they still possessed wealth capable of rivaling a nation.

What’s even more coincidental is that Xu Heran’s English name, in full, is Pearl Aston.

If we were to gather all of Aston’s brands together and put them in a box, undoubtedly, the name engraved on the outside of this box would be the resounding Universal Group.

Aston originated from the Aston family, and flourished within the Universal Group. After Diana and Xu Heran’s grandfather got married, these two surging rivers converged, creating a vast ocean.

Nowadays, one of the owners of this ocean stands in the hall of 《Starlight Girls》 training camp.

All the cameras in the hall turned to the tall and straight woman. She was dressed in a silver suit, the crisp clothes devoid of any wrinkles. A gemstone jewelry matching the color of her eyes hung from the cuffs on her chest. She stood straight, looking at her, it felt like gazing upon a cloud-shrouded peak from afar.

High and treacherous, only viewable from a distance.

Her skin was fair, her black hair pulled back and secured with a silver diamond clasp. Therefore, the woman’s indifferent and profound eyebrows and eyes were clearly displayed to everyone.

“Looks so good, is she a celebrity?” Youyou whispered to the more knowledgeable Sasa.

Sasa shook her head. “I don’t think so. This sister looks quite impressive. If she were a celebrity, I’m sure I’d recognize her. And besides, Aston?”

Could she be the head of the Aston brand?

“Allow me to introduce her to everyone.” Ning Yunfei’s voice was bright, polite, and enthusiastic. “This is our program’s investor, the Deputy CEO of Universal Group’s headquarters, Miss Michelle Aston.”

All the trainees were momentarily stunned, including Xin Nuo whose eyes had slightly darkened.

“Call me Xu Jiamu,” Xu Jiamu’s left arm hung naturally, her right hand held a microphone in a relaxed manner. Surrounded by dozens of cameras, her slightly slanted ice-cold brows did not quiver. The vast and deep blue in her snowy eyes stretched out infinitely, like an endless sea.

Xin Nuo: “…”

She bit her lip, her gaze shifting to the ground, looking at the tips of her shoes, her arms slowly moving to her back, both hands coming together, pinching her fingertips.

Hmm, the air conditioning seems a bit high today; she felt her ears getting warm.

Standing in front of Xin Nuo, Ning Yunfei, who was quite close to her, immediately said, “Then we won’t stand on ceremony, and we’ll address you as Miss Xu.”

Xu Jiamu slightly lowered her shoulders, a gesture akin to nodding or bowing, her arm holding the microphone placed against her abdomen. Her movements were gentle, a bit aloof, yet the faint scent of perfume couldn’t help but waft to Ning Yunfei’s nostrils.

Ning Yunfei’s face involuntarily reddened a bit. She pretended to lower her head to check her cue card while tidying her emotions. Deeply moved, she couldn’t help but feel that such a poised and composed lady, someone with such a cool and self-controlled demeanor, could actually be the sister of that pearl in the camp who was always leaping around, playing with cats and dogs, causing the director to carry an oxygen cylinder around!

Could this personality really have come from the same mother?

Thinking this, a brighter smile appeared on Ning Yunfei’s face. She raised the microphone and looked towards the third row of trainees, a certain pearl frozen stiff, mouth agape, unmoving.

“Hmm, Xu Heran, little friend.”

Instantly, everyone in the hall and all the cameras turned to Xu Heran, the little friend.

Some trainees quickly caught on, immediately reacting with wide-eyed shock, exclaiming, “Ah!”

Xu Jiamu! Xu Heran!

Xu Heran!!

“Uh… uh~” Xu Heran’s throat felt a bit dry. She cleared her throat, pondered for three seconds, and then raised the corners of her mouth high on both sides. Right before everyone’s eyes, she vividly demonstrated what it meant to change expressions in a split second.

From a dazed stupor to a brilliant smile, all you needed was Little Pearl.

“Hello, Sister!” Xu Heran raised the microphone she somehow got her hands on, crisply shouting. Then, she lifted her right hand, index finger and thumb forming a heart shape that she pressed against her lips. Tilting her head and raising her hand, she sent the gesture towards Xu Jiamu.

The Deputy CEO of Universal Group, with an expression of indifference, didn’t even flinch her eyes, her lazy eyelashes flicking up and then down.

Xu Heran pouted, raised both her hands high above her head, and then lowered them. Facing the microphone, she shouted.

“Xu Jiamu, look at me!”

The Deputy CEO of Universal Group raised an eyebrow upon being called by name, giving a cold sweep before her, expressionless, as she watched Xu Heran enthusiastically send her a heart sign. Beside her, Ning Yunfei mediated, asking, “Miss Xu, do you find our fifth trainee adorable?”

Xu Jiamu: “No.”

As she spoke, she rarely furrowed her brows, looking especially disdainful.

Ning Yunfei: “…”

Hold on a moment, this cue card isn’t wrong, is it? You two are real sisters, right?

When the word “No” left Xu Jiamu’s lips, Xu Heran, who had been sending her heart signs all along, immediately became upset. She crossed her arms, glaring with round eyes through the air—she definitely wouldn’t dare to glare at someone’s face directly.

“Hahaha…” Ning Yunfei laughed, raising the microphone to address everyone, “I’m sure everyone has realized it, yes, our Miss Xu is indeed the older sister of our beloved Little Pearl, our dear sister~”

“Wow—”

It’s really true!

Sasa excitedly looked at Xu Jiamu, then at Xu Heran, and finally at the three major luxury brands. Because they were so distant, even envy seemed powerless and ordinary.

“Miss Xu is here this time to support all the trainees. She brings with her the three major brands of Universal Group. As three highly influential luxury brands, we hope their presence will inspire the trainees to strive for even greater and higher goals!” Ning Yunfei’s tone was fervent, “And, these three major brands will be part of Universal Entertainment. Radiate charm Universally, fashion Universally, and let your dreams shine on the Universal stage.”

The trainees applauded in unison, giving a lot of face. They could tell that Xu Heran’s sister was here to advertise for Universal Entertainment!

In unison, they thought back to a week ago when a certain young prince had tried to sneakily promote his beverage, the comparison between that beverage and these three heavyweight brands was like the difference between a roadside stone and a diamond from the palace treasury!

What a gap!

What momentum!

In the future, anyone wanting to advertise for 《Starlight Girls》 should consider comparing their weight to these two top-tier red-blooded brands and one blue-blooded brand. Do they dare stir up trouble secretly again?

“There’s one more thing.” At this moment, Xu Jiamu, who had been silent, suddenly raised the microphone. Her voice was clear and crisp, like a cold spring plunging into ice water.

The people in the hall couldn’t help but hold their breath.

“Universal Entertainment was established hastily, and there hasn’t been a fixed office address until now.” Xu Jiamu’s eyelashes lightly drooped as she spoke, her gaze fixed forward. Her tone was unhurried.

“As it happens, my younger sister’s sixteenth birthday is approaching. For this reason, my family asked me to prepare a birthday gift for her. With these two matters coinciding, after careful consideration, I’ve acquired the 66-floor building and surrounding facilities in the East City District of Hai Cheng. I’ve renamed it Universal Entertainment and am gifting it to Xu Heran as her sixteenth birthday present.”

Xu Heran: “…”

Others: “!!!”

What building?

Where?

For me?

Can you at least look at me! Your sister is right here!

Xu Heran was equally stunned along with the others.

“The 66 Da Shun Tower in the East City District? The one that’s lit up with ”My Home in Haicheng’ every evening?”

“The one with the LED screen that charges hundreds of thousands for a one-minute advertisement?”

“…66 floors! The building in the East City District! Tell me how much it costs! Put me out of my misery!” someone shouted.

“Seeing how extravagantly this room has become? I estimate it could triple.”

“!!!”

How have all of you seen it!

Among the astonished gazes, only Xu Heran remained dazed, looking left and right, enveloped in the scent of jealous lemons.

She looked at Xin Nuo as if seeking help, but Xin Nuo raised an eyebrow and glanced over deliberately, mouthing silently, “Wow.”

Xu Heran: “…”

Even you!

Listening to the intense discussions in the hall, Ning Yunfei’s smile took on a jealous lemony flavor. She really wanted to join the trainees in exclaiming, “Wow.” Moreover, she really wanted to remind everyone that it wasn’t just a 66-floor building!

And!

As well as the surrounding facilities!

What are these facilities, hmm, it’s a forest park spanning over 7,000 acres, hundreds of villas within it, ten apartment buildings, shops, a small hospital, and so on.

This piece of land in Hai Cheng was developed by the richest Lu Group in China. Since its development, countless people had sought to purchase it, but there had been no news of it being put up for sale. Unexpectedly, Universal Entertainment had acquired it all directly.

Ning Yunfei suspected that these two major groups had cooperated from the very beginning. Otherwise, how could Universal Entertainment’s takeover of this prime commercial area have been so smooth, with no information leaked whatsoever?

“Ran Ran! Your Highness Princess!” Sasa turned around, trembling hands gently gripping Xu Heran’s hand as if holding onto a piece of gold. Her eyes were teary with overflowing emotion. “Does your family need a janitor? I’ve graduated from university! No bad habits, diligent in learning, delicate features, well-rounded limbs, I hit where I’m told to hit, and I’m steadfastly loyal!” Sasa held onto Xu Heran’s hand tightly with both of hers. “Just give me a room in the 66-floor building! I’m not picky!”

“Oh…” Xu Heran deliberately pulled her hand away, “I’m picky!”

Jiang Qiong, who was standing at the back, jumped up, “Me! Team Woof Woof! Deep bonds! I’ll bear this burden for you!”

Xu Heran quickly pointed at her, “Good sister, I’ll place the order right away. What shape of a doghouse do you like?”

Jiang Qiong immediately bent over and took off her shoes.

The sour atmosphere was instantly replaced by lively laughter, but the expressions on everyone’s faces as they looked at Xu Heran became noticeably different. Deep within their eyes, there was a hidden reverence that she couldn’t see.

“What a grand gift, truly enviable!” Ning Yunfei sighed and said, “I wonder if Ran Ran will give Sister Feifei a chance. I’d also like to visit the new office building of Universal Entertainment.”

Xu Heran scratched her face, “Welcome, welcome, a warm welcome.”

Ning Yunfei covered her mouth and chuckled. She turned to the woman beside her, “Miss Xu, your family’s love for Ran Ran is truly deep. This is a special and invaluable birthday gift.”

“Yes,” Xu Jiamu’s voice was calm. “After all, there’s only this one little sister in the family.”

Among the numerous trainees, in the last row, a small figure clenched her fists tightly.

“As a family, I only want to give her all the wonderful things in the world. The meaning of family is to protect and support. I don’t want to see my loved ones hurt, and I also hope that certain people will be cautious in their words and actions. Not every rough stone can become a gem, not every wild grass can climb a big tree. It’s clear and distinct, and sometimes that’s a good thing.”

Xu Jiamu spoke at length. Her cold voice resonated through the hall, suppressing the liveliness of the crowd. Everyone quieted down to listen to her measured words.

“If you force yourself too much, you might end up hurting yourself.”

Xu Jiamu set down the microphone and nodded at the camera.

The venue fell into complete silence.

The trainees finally realized, with a new understanding, the purpose of this vice president from overseas!

This woman was here to support her sister!

If Prince Xing from the Xing Family dared to use their brand to cause trouble in 《Starlight Girls》 she would dare to use luxury brands to elevate her brand’s status!

Xu Yanran tried to establish a connection with Xu Jiamu during her live broadcast. The next day, she appeared in the recording studio, openly declaring herself as the Vice President of Universal Entertainment, and asserting that she had only one sister, the owner of the Universal Entertainment office building! The cherished little princess of Universal Entertainment!

For Xu Heran, they allocated billions worth of land at the drop of a hat, because they were connected by blood.

The Vice President of Universal Entertainment, who appeared expressionless and ignored Xu Heran, was actually meticulously safeguarding her every move, all for the sake of Xu Heran!

Rough stones and pearls, wild grass and towering trees.

Who do you think you are, Xu Yanran?

The curious gazes turned to Xu Yanran. This girl, who shed a few tears every episode for no reason, gritted her teeth, glaring fiercely at every gaze that fell upon her without holding back in front of the camera.

Xu Yanran was furious. She felt that the Xu family was intentionally using money to humiliate her! And Xu Jiamu, taking advantage of her age, bullying a sixteen-year-old girl – she found it incredibly hateful!

Her mother had taught her to be selfish, taught her to be delicate, taught her every method she had used to seduce men back then, but forgot to teach her to read the situation. Maybe her good-for-nothing mother had taught her that too, but at her age, with the sharpness of adolescence still not fading, she truly believed all the thoughts her mother had instilled in her, that everyone owed her. Even after Xu Jiamu’s scolding, she remained unyielding.

In the midst of silence, Xu Yanran gritted her teeth and yelled, “All these things you’ve brought are really great.”

The venue grew even quieter. The people around Xu Yanran wore expressions of confusion, as if asking, “What is she up to?”

“But, did you bring all these nice things just to show off to us?” Xu Yanran’s eyes were red, and she forced a smile, saying with difficulty, “You’re so impressive and rich. I thought you were bringing some jewelry for us to endorse.”

“Yeah, wasn’t that drink last time meant for us to endorse? Unfortunately, someone didn’t allow it…”

“Well…” Ning Yunfei lowered her head, pretending to check her cue card. She was relieved that she had something to shield her expression.

But the other trainees were different, their expressions pained and uncomfortable.

Is she really serious?

Un-debuted trainees endorsing high-end brands, blue-blood and red-blood brands?

They couldn’t even fathom it. If Universal Entertainment had these resources, why not just have Xu Heran endorse them? After all, she was Universal Entertainment’s biological daughter.

Brands and endorsers, they go hand in hand!

Amidst the silence, the girl standing at the front lowered her head. Her left hand pinched the end of her coat while her right hand held a loose thread, which she tugged forcefully.

“Pff… cough.”

A soft laughter escaped her throat. The usually quiet girl bit her lip, trying not to burst into laughter. Her eyes curved, ripples of laughter dancing within them.

Yeah, Xu Yanran.

Could this be said?

She had finally noticed the similarities between Little Pearl and Xu Yanran.

How foolish.

But the foolishness of their house’s Pearl was endearing, making one want to scoop her up and hold her close. But certain people’s foolishness…

It was quite pure.

Xu Jiamu stood in front of the trainees, with Xin Nuo being the closest to her. When Xin Nuo chuckled, the woman who had been expressionless all along raised an eyebrow.

Xin Nuo?

The trainee who was always sticking to Pearl on the show, known as Pearl’s wife?

A complete mess, and Xu Heran was so young.

But towards outsiders, she acted like a big sister all day long, even closer than a real sister.

Xu Jiamu furrowed her brows, her critical gaze sweeping down from Xin Nuo’s hair tips to her feet, assessing her from head to toe three times.

Sensing the gaze, Xin Nuo’s movements faltered briefly. Subconsciously, she released her grip and stood up straight, offering a faint smile to Xu Jiamu.

Looks okay.

Xu Jiamu nodded at Xin Nuo, then turned her attention to Xu Heran, who was wearing a bitter melon expression.

It must’ve been this idiot who started it.

Through her earpiece, Ning Yunfei heard a prompt from the director. She lifted her head, glanced at Xu Jiamu, who was locked in a gaze with Xu Heran, arms folded, making faces at her sister.

Both of them ignored Xu Yanran.

“Well, Trainee Number Thirty-Nine has raised a very good question,” Ning Yunfei suppressed her embarrassment and forced a pretty smile.

“Next up, it’s time for our trainees’ benefits!” Ning Yunfei exclaimed loudly. “Miss Xu not only brought a gift for her sister this time, but also a big gift for all the trainees here!”

Xu Yanran was taken aback, speechless.

Really?

Was she actually giving something to them, deliberately making Xu Jiamu uncomfortable?

Ning Yunfei’s expression became more serious. She held up the microphone and looked at the trainees present.

“The first benefit, in terms of stage performance, effective expression management is crucial for idols. To enhance everyone’s performance level, Universal Entertainment has taken the initiative. We have invited a heavyweight guest! She will be joining us in the coming days as an acting coach to guide everyone!” Ning Yunfei said excitedly.

“A new coach?”

“Who is it?”

The new coach would bring fresh energy and excitement to the show. The trainees curiously stood on their tiptoes, peering towards the entrance.

Ning Yunfei didn’t keep them in suspense. She raised her hand, “She’s none other than the winner of this year’s Golden Osmanthus Award for Best Actress, for her performance in 《Gone with the Wind》…”

“Oh!”

In the crowd, someone straightened up in astonishment.

“Having appeared in over thirty films, winning numerous awards, and being popular both domestically and internationally, acclaimed as the ‘Actress’s Actress’ – Ji Songyu! Let’s welcome Ji Songyu, our Queen of the Screen!”

“Ah, it’s Ji Ji! (Sister Tea!)”

Many of the young trainees in the audience had seen this actress on screen before. Even Xin Nuo, who usually had a calm expression, brightened her eyes and stood a bit taller, gazing towards the entrance.

“Hey! Who’s this ‘Actress’s Actress’? Explain it clearly!” Following the lively and cheerful voice, a beautifully slender woman trotted out from the entrance. She was dressed simply in jeans and a white shirt, her long hair flowing. Her delicate features exuded a youthful aura.

Behind her was a bustling crowd of staff. Ji Songyu stood in front of the group, radiating brilliance.

“Who else is there? Come over and greet our girls.” Ning Yunfei and Ji Songyu are friends, speaking without reservation.

“No, I must greet the big boss first. Don’t you understand manners?” Ji Songyu playfully argued with Ning Yunfei. Then, she immediately bent down, pretended to be flattering, and shook Xu Jiamu’s hand.

“Hello, big boss. Please take good care of me. I wouldn’t mind things like houses and cars. Feel free to spoil me~”

Xu Jiamu quickly bent over and supported Ji Songyu’s arm. She knew Ji Songyu and understood that Ji Songyu was joking with her.

“No need to be so polite.” She responded courteously.

“Hahaha.” Ji Songyu let go of Xu Jiamu’s hand, straightened up, and raised both hands to enthusiastically wave at the trainees.

“Hello, girls!”

“Hello, Sister Tea!” The girls responded loudly.

It’s Ji Songyu! The Queen of the Screen!

“Ah, this must be Nuo Nuo. Hello, hello, sweetheart, you’re so pretty.” Ji Songyu spread her arms wide and strode towards Xin Nuo, giving her a tight hug.

Xin Nuo was startled, raising her hands instinctively at her sides. Her dark eyes widened in surprise.

Finally, some excitement.

Xu Jiamu thought to herself.

“Thank you, I also love your movies.” Xin Nuo said warmly, her voice a bit dry. When Ji Songyu let go of her, she couldn’t help but slip her fingers into her sleeves, tightly pinching her palm.

Jian Yueyin stood behind, looking at Xin Nuo with some concern.

“I’ve watched every one of your performances, and I even know you have the best relationship with Little Pearl, right?” Ji Songyu was very familiar, pulling Xin Nuo’s arm and leading her towards Xu Heran, who had been watching.

“Don’t stare, I brought her over for you.” Ji Songyu spread her arms and said cheerfully, “Give me a hug quickly! You don’t know how much I adore you. Mommy loves you!”

Xu Heran: “?”

Ning Yunfei looked up and glanced at Xu Jiamu, stifling a laugh.

“You can’t.” Xu Heran raised her finger and shook it, “I’ve severed all romantic ties and embraced the path of heartlessness.”

“The path of heartlessness doesn’t involve hugging people!”

With a serious expression, she lifted her chin, narrowed her blue-purple eyes, and looked cold and proud.

Ji Songyu asked her, “I’ve brought Nuo Nuo in front of you, and you won’t even give her a hug?”

Xu Heran intentionally crossed her arms in front of her chest, her refusal clear.

“Heh, you’re heartless. Don’t blame me for being without mercy!” Ji Songyu teased, “Those who refuse hugs, hostages will be eliminated!”

As her words fell, someone beside her suddenly moved.

A gentle fragrance wafted by, and the girl who had been standing beside her a moment ago took the initiative to open her arms and hug Xu Heran.

Ji Songyu: “…?”

“Hey, she moved first.” Xu Heran hugged Xin Nuo’s waist with delight, “Everyone can testify!”

The pain on Xin Nuo’s body faded away. She straightened up and sighed, “Hostages don’t have a choice; hostages just want to stay alive.”

“Hahaha.” Ji Songyu thought Xin Nuo was playing along with her joke, and she laughed. She teased Xu Heran, “What happened to the path of heartlessness?”

“You don’t understand.” Xu Heran hugged Xin Nuo’s waist, waved her hand casually, and said, “In our Pearl Family, we’ve never been able to embrace the path of heartlessness!”

“Hmph!”

The atmosphere at the scene changed due to Ji Songyu’s arrival. After interacting with the trainees, she walked up to Ning Yunfei and said with a smile, “I didn’t come empty-handed either.”

“As you all just found out, our little landowner, Classmate Xu Heran, has struck it rich. A sixty-six-story skyscraper has fallen into her lap. What about the Universal Entertainment Building? That’s right, it’s illuminated at night and has a five-meter-high display!” She playfully asked and answered her own question.

Ning Yunfei played along on the side, “You should give everyone a chance to answer.”

“Alright, then the reward I’ve brought is for the winning team on the next stage. The prize will be related to the Universal Entertainment Building. Come on, everyone, take a guess!” Ji Songyu encouraged the trainees, extending the microphone toward the crowd.

The eyes of the crowd slowly widened, a thought floated in their minds, but they didn’t dare to say it out loud.

“Hahaha! That’s right, until the winning team for the next stage is selected, the highest-voted performance on the LED display will continuously loop for 24 hours, along with the names of the seven selected contestants, illuminating the night sky above the Universal Entertainment Building!”

“Ah ah ah!!!”

“Is it true?”

“This is the treatment of a star! Can we experience this too?”

“24 hours!”

The trainees were overwhelmed by the news brought by Ji Songyu, and then a barely concealed excitement followed. Their voices were intense, almost capable of lifting the roof of the hall.

At the same time, a sense of unwavering belief was born within them.

Only the winners could have it.

Only victory could make their names appear on the sixty-six-story building and allow the entire city to see!

“Girls, do you think this is all there is?” Ji Songyu lifted her finger and playfully shook it in the air, feigning mystery, “You all look down on our gold master too much!”

For a moment, more than forty pairs of shining eyes simultaneously looked at Xu Jiamu. The usually composed Vice President of Universal Group, Xu Jiamu, straightened her back stiffly. From these hopeful gazes, she only saw two words.

“Gold master.”

Xu Jiamu: “…”

“Let me tell you all!” Ji Songyu raised her hand and pointed to the luxurious items behind her, “We haven’t secured high-end endorsements for now. However, our gold master, in order to take care of us trainees, has specifically acquired a local dairy production company and renamed it Starlight Milk!”

“So!”

“The seven individuals who win each stage will have a two-week endorsement deal. The endorsement materials will be distributed citywide! Among the seven members who ultimately debut as Starlight Girls, they will directly endorse the product!”

Ji Songyu said with a smiling glint, “And our General Xu has already sent people to contact your companies. The two-week endorsement comes with a hundred thousand yuan fee, no company share, all of it goes to the trainees themselves!”

“Honor and money, victory and triumphant singing, flowers and applause, they’re all ahead. Trainees, it’s time to prove yourselves!”

Enthusiasm surged in the hearts of every trainee determined to win. The life of a trainee is quite strenuous – no rewards, days of training, endless dedication.

At this moment, the most recent rewards are just around the corner, waiting for the victors to pluck them.

“Do you all have confidence in winning?” Ning Yunfei asked.

“We do!”

This is historically the most heartfelt and enthusiastic shout they’ve ever given!

A hundred thousand yuan, for many of them, is a considerable sum.

Ning Yunfei clapped her hands with a smile. At this point, Ji Songyu turned her head and brought the microphone to Xu Jiamu’s lips.

“Gold master, is there anything else you’d like to say?”

“Gold master” remained silent for a moment, a dark glint passing through the blue eyes.

“I just want to ask that trainee from earlier, how about my prize?”

Xu Yanran’s face turned crimson as she buried her head.

The hall fell silent for two seconds, then erupted into enthusiastic applause.

Sasa excitedly turned her body and grabbed Xu Heran’s hand.

“Ran Ran, Mommy doesn’t want to be your mommy anymore! Mommy wants to be your sister-in-law!”

Xu Heran: “…”

Can you repeat that?

Could you clarify this logic a bit more?

“Hey, are you still hugging?” Ji Songyu gave up, “Well, when Mommy becomes your sister-in-law, like a mother to you, I’ll approve of your relationship first!”

Xin Nuo: “…………”

She removed her hand from Xu Heran’s shoulder and coldly adjusted her clothes.

Say it again: don’t get close to Xu Heran, it will make you look foolish.
