This meeting ended on a sour note.
After all, only Bai Yuejie was unhappy.
Shi Mei was grinning the whole time, emphasizing with great confidence, "I can play the piano, you know."
On the way to drop Shi Mei off at her home, Bai Yuejie repeatedly instructed her not to divulge their secret.
Sitting in the backseat, Shi Mei nodded vigorously like she was pounding garlic.
Bai Yuejie felt relieved and picked up some documents to review, asking Uncle Liu, "The new programs have all started preparation, communicate with the TV station about the recording times."
Uncle Liu said, "It’s already arranged, most contestants are pre-selected, the remaining three spots will be chosen through online selection."
Such a nationwide event saves money and effort, and also a significant amount in promotional expenses.
"Currently, there are a lot of registrants, many contestants are internet celebrities from the live streaming sphere, elected by netizens," Uncle Liu said somewhat contented, "This program will definitely achieve great success."
Shi Mei overheard and was stirred inside.
She knew that after the heart transplant, Bai Yuejie had started her own business.
However, she was unclear about the specifics.
Now it sounded like she was doing program planning?
Watching Bai Yuejie review the documents, Shi Mei also took out a sheet from the stack.
Bai Yuejie assumed she was just imitating her and didn’t pay any attention.
Shi Mei browsed quickly, reading ten lines at a glance.
It turned out Bai Yuejie was doing a singing program?
Interestingly, to enhance the entertainment value of the program, contestants could not reveal their true identities or faces.
Unless they won the championship, or got eliminated.
Otherwise, they couldn’t let the audience know who they really were.
Among these contestants, there were both prominent stars and lesser-known singers, with the general public making up a third.
The fun of the program was that while being judges, the celebrities could also participate.
Competing against ordinary citizens and picking out one overall champion to win a prize of a hundred thousand yuan.
The prize money was secondary.
If one could stand out in this program, they could then consider it an official debut.
Although the entertainment industry was chaotic, once you made a name for yourself, the earning potential was considerable.
Shi Mei was somewhat tempted.
Playing crazy all day wasn’t the way forward, she wanted to expose the true faces of Shi Lingyan and Bai Yuejie to the world, and she needed enough publicity and influence for it.
This "Behind the Scenes Star" was undoubtedly a great opportunity.
But upon reading further, her heart cooled.
The contestants needed to sign a confidentiality contract.
For her, keeping secrets wasn’t a problem.
But since it involved a contract, identity details surely had to be provided.
She couldn’t possibly enter the competition under Shi Mei’s name, could she?
Shi Mei suddenly felt troubled.
Bai Yuejie turned to look and saw Shi Mei staring blankly at a piece of paper.
She knew she couldn’t understand it.
Bai Yuejie took back the paper and said, "Are you hungry, Shi Mei? How about I take you out for a meal?"
Shi Mei was preoccupied and really didn’t want to deal with her anymore.
Just as she was thinking about how to get through the moment, Bai Yuejie added, "You haven’t met Tang Wu, have you? How about I take you to meet her?"
Shi Mei was stirred again.
Was Bai Yuejie planning to take her to the cemetery?
Shi Mei puffed up her cheeks, "No, Tang Wu is not, Shi Mei is!"
Bai Yuejie laughed lightly, giving her a meaningful look, "Yes, you are, Tang Wu... isn’t anymore."
Then, Bai Yuejie looked away and said to Uncle Liu, "Let’s go to Little Tang Wu’s place then."
