Chapter 109: Chapter 110: What Does It Feel Like to Like Someone_1
The training class wasn’t far from SGS, only a ten-minute walk. The reason why the training class was set up in this location was said to be because SGS Entertainment Company was placing particular emphasis on this new batch of people, eager to sign several outstanding artists from this training class.
Qiao Xiaren intended on joining SGS, because it was a part of the Si Family business, and being in SGS would make Si Limo more inclined to favor her. The competition in the entertainment companies of the Capital was intense, with companies unscrupulous enough to use artists as mere tools for profit.
While SGS Entertainment Company was relatively fair and humanized, it was inevitably somewhat profit-driven.
Such were the rules of the entertainment industry. Artists had to not only bear the risks of the underlying rules at all times but also handle the contradictions within their company.
Once signed with a company, artists had no autonomy and profits would be exploited at different levels. Despite the glamorous appearance of stars, they often harbored a lot of struggles, likened to high-grade labor force.
To break out of this vicious circle, one had to rise to the top and become a rule-maker. Given Qiao Xiaren’s current abilities, it would be best to join SGS. With Si Limo and the Si Family around, she wouldn’t suffer too much, being under a huge protective umbrella.
Choosing to save Si Zhilan was, indeed, a correct and decisive decision.
But first, she had to ensure that SGS Entertainment Company would pick her and actively sign her.
In the heavily guarded military compound, two security guards stood solemnly on either side. The compound was almost silent, with only faint voices coming from the inside.
“This girl is truly impressive!”
In the study, Si Yelin, slack-jawed, sat down in his chair as he looked at the musical score sent to him on WeChat, and the short clip of Xu Jingjing doing a test singing.
“I wish to have a committed love, to not part till hair turns white…”
The mellow and plaintive melody, filled with profound mourning, had Si Yelin repeating it over and over. Si Limo didn’t say a word, his partially closed eyes revealing nothing of his thoughts.
Si Yelin, unlike his siblings, had a business mind since childhood and was currently in charge of SGS.
The Si Family had been involved in the entertainment industry for many years. As an old hand accustomed to the entertainment industry, Si Yelin was not easily impressed.
But the one who submitted the song had managed to stun him with four consecutive compositions that made him listen again and again.
And the lyricist and composer was Qiao Xiaren! He had heard the name often before, mostly because Qiao Xiaren saved Si Zhilan’s life.
He never expected that this woman was a musical genius!
“Commander, there is an urgent call from the border area.”
As his assistant handed him the phone, Si Limo shot a cold glance at Si Yelin, who instantly shut up. Pouting, he thought how his brother always scared him, making his heart jump in fear.
Si Yelin glanced outside the window uninterestedly while waiting for his brother. After ten minutes he got impatient and made a gesture wanting to leave.
He was just about to walk away when a sudden force pulled him back.
“Don’t go yet, I have something to ask you.”
Si Yelin almost stumbled, turning back to look at his brother as if he were a monster. It was a miracle, his brother had something to ask him for the first time.
Si Limo slightly tilted his chin, signaling Si Yelin to sit back in his original seat.
“What does it feel like to like someone?”
Upon hearing this unexpected question, Si Yelin sprayed out the water he had just drunk.
