She had a simple appearance and a simple style, but she had a solid foundation and true creative talent.
The recording of Xing Lan's performance was edited by netizens and circulated online.
But the thing that made her famous was not her creativity and ability to improvise, but because she was the only person that directly advanced to the next round.
"This plain-looking contestant is quite talented."
"I rewatched the recordings of her performances in the earlier rounds. She previously stuck to a very modest path, but this time, she suddenly exploded onto the scene."
"This chick is quite cool, has she signed with an agency yet?"
Because a lot of people paid attention to the competition, Xing Lan had a small taste of fame. If Tangning had not changed her name or image, she may have already been identified as Li Xin. Fortunately, it now took a lot more time to identify her.
That night, Lin Qian decided to help Xing Lan celebrate, "I promised you earlier that I'd take you to see someone after you get into the top 100."
Xing Lan was more nervous now than during her competition. At this moment, she was actually sweating a little.
"What's wrong? Are you scared?" Lin Qian held back her laughter while they were in the car. "I can give you a few keywords so you can try to guess who this person is, in case you get too shocked when you see her later"
"Quick, tell me."
"Model. Actress. Married."
"This isn't much of a hint," Xing Lan rolled her eyes.
Lin Qian laughed and did not say another word.
Soon, the two women arrived at the agreed hotel. At this time, Tangning had also just arrived. Xing Lan stood behind Tangning, and as soon as she saw her, she whispered to Lin Qian, "Is that Tangning? Is she the actress that retreated from the industry because she was involved in a death?"
"Why are you asking?" Lin Qian asked. "You don't like her?"
"To people like me, she is like an unreachable star. I like her attitude on life and the way she handles things. Her films are great, she married an extremely capable man and she's a hard-worker. I think any normal person would like her, right?"
"Lucky," Lin Qian responded.
"What's lucky?"
"Congratulations, she's your boss," Lin Qian said as she opened the door to the room that Tangning entered a step ahead of them.
Xing Lan was stunned as she stood dumbfounded in the doorway. She felt like she was in a dream. But, things felt even more surreal when she looked Tangning in the face.
"Come in," Tangning said to the two women.
Xing Lan was surprised. This elegant woman was actually her boss.
To be honest, this was not hard to guess. After all, Long Jie had already appeared earlier. But, it was understandable that Xing Lan didn't know because no one knew that Long Jie was still working for Tangning.
"That...that..."
"You can call me Ning Jie," Tangning said to Xing Lan. "Congratulations for getting into the top 100."
"I never imagined..." As Xing Lan looked at Tangning close up, she felt that she looked 100 times more beautiful and gentle than she did on screen.
"Are you going to continue being surprised like this?" Tangning said with a smile. Afterwards, she said to Xing Lan, "Entering the top 100 means that Li Can will treat you even more ruthlessly. You need to prepare yourself for 'that problem' to resurface."
'That problem'...
