Transmigrated into the body of a prematurely deceased beloved child

Chapter 394 We Will Eventually Form a Group! 28

Unexpectedly, during the afternoon meeting, the boss didn't mention anything about fans creating a romantic pairing; he simply told them not to look at online comments and to focus on training.

Upon hearing this, Yu Xingli immediately raised an eyebrow at Zhao Zhao.

Next, Shan Le announced an important piece of news.

All the trainees will travel to Country L next week for training.

Zhao Zhao remained silent, and L country...

The other teenagers were excited and happy about the upcoming training life in Country L. After Shan Le announced the news, they cheered and jumped for joy. For a moment, the conference room was filled with monkey shouts.

"I'd heard we'd be going somewhere for training, but I never imagined it would be Country L!"

Zhou Zhiyan, who was standing next to her, was fiddling with his arm. Zhao Zhao snapped out of her daze, smiled at him, and said, "I didn't expect this either. This is really...exciting."

"Alright, children, quiet down."

Dan Le smiled and said, "We're not going to L country for fun. After three months of training in L country, you will have your final talent assessment."

"The results of the talent assessment will greatly influence your debut outcome."

The day of their group's debut is coming soon. In fact, the trainees had a feeling about it for a while, but it was only when they heard their boss say it that they truly felt it.

"Leyu Media has prepared four debut spots for you this time. You will have to rely on your own abilities to stand out."

It's been almost three years since Zhao Zhao joined the company, and he asked somewhat absentmindedly, "Then, Cheng Sui'an...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Shan Le suddenly interrupted him with a serious expression, "You and him, perhaps you'll meet again someday."

The implication is that Cheng Suian may not return to Leyu.

Zhao Zhao's heart turned cold in an instant. She looked anxiously at Yu Xingli, who also missed his long-lost partner very much, but this was not the time to discuss him with his boss.

After the meeting ended, not only were Zhao Zhao and Yu Xingli silent, but the atmosphere among the others was also rather heavy.

“There are only four debut spots.” Zhou Zhiyan muttered to himself, his heart filled with despair. Wen Muqing, too, remained silent.

In the previous internal assessments, apart from Bai Siyi, the two of them had the worst overall singing and dancing skills.

As for Xiao He and Lan Sen, they have always been in the top two positions. If nothing unexpected happens, they will be the two who debut as the top two stars.

As for Zhao Zhao and Yu Xingli, they have made significant progress in their respective dance and vocal performances, and their strength has remained strong.

"Do you guys want some spicy strips?" At this point, Bai Siyi was probably the only one who remained carefree, secretly taking a bag of spicy strips and handing it to them.

Zhou Zhiyan and Wen Muqing looked grief-stricken, but turned their sorrow into appetite. "Eat!" They didn't care about protecting their voices anymore; they just wanted to have some fun.

Seeing this, Lan Sen, who had been silently observing the two, breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, they were still childish.

"Zhaozhao, Yu Xingli, do you want some?" Bai Si distributed spicy strips to everyone, but the two of them really couldn't eat them.

"I don't want to eat right now." After a pause, Yu Xingli added, "And you should eat less too."

Zhao Zhao remained propped up with her chin, lost in thought.

Bai Siyi, with a spicy snack dangling from his mouth, looked down at the two people sitting on the sofa in a daze, and asked, somewhat unclearly, "Are you two thinking about debuting?"

"Oh well, let nature take its course~ If we can debut, we will; if we can't, then so be it~" As she spoke, she secretly glanced at the expressions of the other people.

Zhao Zhao had actually thought a lot. He wondered if Cheng Sui'an would come back to Leyu to participate in the debut assessment, he thought that they only had four debut spots, he thought that he was going to leave this world anyway, so should he not compete for a debut spot and waste the opportunity? He was also thinking about his father and family in L country.

But the aroma of spicy strips wafting from her nose was too tempting, and Zhao Zhao looked up and reached out, "Yi Yi, give me one."

"Okay~" Bai Si stepped forward happily, but was intercepted by Xiao He halfway, "This thing is unhygienic, Zhao Zhao, don't eat it."

Then, he snatched his spicy snack away with disgust and said, "You're not allowed to eat any either, or I'll tell Teacher Qi." He then threw the snack into the trash can.

"Aaaaaah, Xiao He! I'll beat you to death!"

Bai Si rushed over with a greasy mouth, wanting to beat Xiao He, but Xiao He dodged. The two then started arguing again, creating a noisy scene that dispelled the silence between them.

After that, training continued as usual, and soon, as planned, they arrived in Country L.

Upon landing, they went directly to the training venue on the 26th floor of the Yajiang Building, a professional training base for trainees. Compared to their company, the conditions and environment were far superior.

They each had their own room, but some people still came over to visit.

During the day, they are serious and dedicated trainees; at night, their playful nature is instantly revealed.

Even if their phones are confiscated, they can still enjoy playing real-world games to their heart's content.

The teachers from Country L are very professional. In just a few months, the students' abilities have improved a lot, especially Zhao Zhao's dancing, which has made significant progress.

That day, after completing his dance and vocal tasks ahead of schedule, Zhao Zhao had half a day to relax. He had been training too hard these past few days and planned to go back to his room to take a nap.

His phone started vibrating at this inopportune moment. He picked it up, feeling sleepy, and saw the name "Mr. Wen" appear before his eyes again.

"Sigh." He had called Zhao Zhao several times in the past few days, but she hadn't answered. However, he thought that constantly running away wasn't a solution.

He rolled around on the bed in frustration, but finally answered the phone. Zhao Zhao put the phone to his ear without making a sound. The person on the other end of the line obviously knew his temperament and didn't expect to wait for him to speak.

"Zhaozhao, you've come all the way to L country, why didn't you come to see your father?"

"We haven't seen each other for so long, don't you want to see me and my brother?"

Zhao Zhao remained expressionless and silent. The gentle voice on the other end of the phone suddenly became low and impatient, "Why are you still like this? You can't even say a word! I saw you getting along well with those trainees from Leyu Media, so why are you acting like this when you're with me?"

"Zhaozhao, we are the closest people in the world. You can't be so cold to your father."

He spoke at length, but Zhao Zhao remained silent. The man gradually stopped talking to him, remaining silent but not hanging up the phone.

Ten minutes later, the man's gentle voice came again, "You're currently participating in training at the Yajiang Building, right?"

Their itinerary is no secret; anyone with a keen eye can find it online.

"So Zhao Zhao, are you guys preparing to debut? Tell Daddy, can you debut?"

The deep voice seemed to whisper in her ear. Zhao Zhao frowned, picked up her phone, and accidentally pressed the hang-up button, ending the call instantly.

Zhao Zhao sat up, glanced at the black screen with a blank expression, her gaze somewhat unfocused.

Since he went to Leyu, his father brought his younger brother to L country to develop their careers. They haven't had any contact since then. In the past few years, he even spent the Spring Festival with Yu Xingli at the company.

But recently, after he came to L country, his father started calling and texting him frequently. The father and son, who had not been in contact for a long time, suddenly started contacting each other, which made Zhao Zhao feel uneasy and unable to adapt.

My phone vibrated again; it was a text message from Mr. Wen.

[Mr. Wen: My darling Zhao Zhao, do you miss Daddy and your little brother? I'll bring your brother to Yajiang Building to play with you tomorrow~]

Upon seeing it, Zhao Zhao felt as if the sky had fallen.

His father and brother did not like or miss him as much as they said in the phone calls and text messages. On the contrary, they disliked him. The more enthusiastic they were, the more frightened Zhao Zhao became.

Because she had something on her mind, Zhao Zhao couldn't fall asleep, and her hard-earned half-day of rest was wasted.

Xiao He came to Zhao Zhao's room after class today. Unexpectedly, when he opened the door, he met Zhao Zhao sitting on the bed.

"I thought you were asleep."

After taking a shower after training, he immediately went to find Zhao Zhao. When Zhao Zhao saw it was him, she immediately forced a smile, sat up, patted her bed, and gestured for Xiao He to come and sit down.

"My dad is sick, I have to go home," he said directly, looking at Zhao Zhao.

Zhao Zhao was taken aback. "When are you leaving?"

"I'll be leaving in a bit."

"So soon?!" Zhao Zhao stood up, grabbed Xiao He's arm, her already low spirits replaced by disappointment. "When are you coming back?"

Xiao He lowered his eyes and simply shook his head.

"Can you come back before the assessment?"

Xiao He nodded. "It should be possible."

Hesitantly, he reached out his long, slender fingers and gently rubbed Zhao Zhao's head. "Rest well during this time, train hard, and don't worry me."

"Okay." Zhao Zhao's voice was muffled. She hadn't expected that Xiao He would be returning to the country at this crucial moment.

Not long after, the car that came to pick up Xiao He arrived downstairs at the Yajiang Building. After the trainees saw him off, they went back to training. However, Xiao He's departure still made them feel very uncomfortable.

Even Yu Xingli, who usually disliked him, hugged Zhao Zhao and complained to him, "That brat Xiao He, why did he have to come home now of all times? Is he not going to participate in any debut event?"

Among them, Xiao He is the most outstanding all-rounder. It would be a real pity if he couldn't make his debut.

Zhao Zhao fell silent for a moment, then thought about it and told Yu Xingli that his father would be coming to see him the next day.

"Alright, alright, you two." Yu Xingli knew that Zhao Zhao's father didn't like Zhao Zhao's affairs, so he couldn't help but worry. He whispered in Zhao Zhao's ear, "I think he has ulterior motives."

His eyes were full of contempt.

Zhao Zhao was both amused and exasperated. "Don't rush, let's see tomorrow."

The next day, while Zhao Zhao was training in the dance studio, her phone unexpectedly started vibrating. Her instructor, a meticulous and focused young man, saw this and simply made Zhao Zhao finish her dance first.

The assessment was just a week away, so this period was crucial. The staff at Leyu were very strict with the trainees. Even if Zhao Zhao went out, she had to report to the relevant staff.

And just then, Zhao Zhao ran into Qi Nanxing. "Teacher Qi, my dad is looking for me. I'd like to ask for leave to go out for a bit."

"Your father?" Qi Nanxing was one of the few people who knew about Zhao Zhao's family situation, and his brows furrowed immediately upon hearing this.

"He still thinks of you at this time?"

Zhao Zhao lowered his head and nodded, looking quite pitiful, so Qi Nanxing followed him downstairs himself.

"I'll stand in the corner later, so your dad won't notice me. You can just catch up with him." Qi Nanxing was worried about Zhaozhao, but didn't want to disturb the father and son's time together, so he could only observe the situation from the shadows.

“Okay,” Zhao Zhao nodded obediently.

As Zhao Zhao entered the reception hall on the first floor, he unexpectedly bumped into his father, Wen Zhouting, who was coming out in front of him. Wen Zhouting instinctively stepped back and did not recognize his son, whom he had not seen for nearly three years.

He didn't realize what was happening until Zhao Zhao bumped into the door while trying to avoid him, and timidly looked up and whispered "Dad."

"Wen Zizhao?" Upon seeing him, Wen Zhouting's brows furrowed subconsciously.

"Dad! Why hasn't Wen Zizhao arrived yet!" The impatient voice of the young man suddenly rang out from the reception hall behind him, and Wen Zhouting's face instantly brightened upon hearing his youngest son's voice.

He called out affectionately, "Jiajia, your brother is here."

As he spoke, he looked at Zhao Zhao, who was still leaning against the door, and tried to take his hand, but Zhao Zhao quickly dodged him.

Wen Zhouting became impatient again, but remembering the purpose of today, he patiently said, "Zhaozhao, stop being temperamental. Come inside with Daddy. Jiajia is waiting for you inside."

"You have no idea how long Jiajia has been waiting for you, she hasn't even had time to eat."

Zhao Zhao followed him inside. On the gray sofa, a boy who had grown to fifteen years old was playing on his phone with a cold face, seemingly sulking and not even glancing at him when he came in.

Seeing this, Zhao Zhao didn't bother to say anything.

Wen Zhouting gestured for Zhao Zhao to sit down and enthusiastically introduced him to the family's situation in recent years. Occasionally, he would complain to him about Wen Zijia's bad temper. However, the doting tone he used towards Wen Zijia contrasted sharply with his polite and distant tone towards Zhao Zhao, making Zhao Zhao's mood increasingly heavy.

They talked for half an hour, mostly Wen Zhouting doing all the talking. But Zhao Zhao finally understood why he had gone to so much trouble to find her.

Wen Zijia also wants to become a trainee, but he is not good at singing and dancing and was rejected by a big company. So he hopes that Zhao Zhao, who has been with Leyu Media for so long, can help him find some connections to get Wen Zijia into a big company.

Although Zhao Zhao hasn't officially debuted yet, she already has quite a few fans online. Wen Zhouting doesn't understand the entertainment industry; he just assumes Zhao Zhao has talent now, so he's targeting him.

"I'm just a trainee at Leyu who hasn't debuted yet. I have no connections, and it's impossible for me to get him into a big company."

Wen Zhouting's words made Zhao Zhao want to laugh. He was clearly an educated person, so how could he say such ignorant things?

Wen Zhouting's face darkened instantly, and he said, "Then why don't you just let Jiajia go to your company? You've been with Leyu for so long, they can't possibly refuse to do you this favor."

If it were Leyu from three years ago, Wen Zhouting wouldn't have even considered him.

However, considering that Leyu is developing quite well, it's not unreasonable to make some sacrifices for Jiajia.

Zhao Zhao refused directly, saying, "Leyu has no plans to recruit trainees at the moment."
