After the 30 minutes drive, Yuhan stopped the car in front of shining bright entertainment. They would have reached in 15 minutes if not for the traffic. Even though it was in the central area, the building was relatively dull and simple.

Xu Nuan got out of the car and thanked him but before she could walk away, Yuhan looked at her and said, " If you want to work, you can come to my company anytime. It's better than this place at least."

Xu Nuan raised her brows and smiled as she said, " You're sure? If I joined your company, your mother and soon to be wife, gonna murder me. After all, for them I am still a bitch who is trying to seduce you." she laughed after saying this.

However, his expressions turned gloomy upon hearing this. He frowned and said, " You're still on it? It was just a misunderstanding. Don't take it to your heart."

" Misunderstanding, my foot. Anyway, thanks for the ride." She turned around and walked towards the company. Even though it was not a big entertainment company like QY Entertainment where she used to work before but she was happy since she was surrounded by the things and people she likes.

Music and Han Zihao. Even though he doesn't work here, this company's name is attached to him. That's enough for her.

Yuhan, who was sitting in the car, watched her going inside the company. His lips automatically curled up in a smile because of her happy energy. He shook his head and drove away.

Xu Nuan went to the first floor as the receptionist directed her. The building has 5 floors to it but this company was limited to only two floors, the ground floor, and the first floor. She took the elevator to save her time and when she reached the floor, she found the corridor empty.

She looked around and pursed her lips wondering where everyone went, " You're Xu Nuan?"

She was startled when someone called her from behind. She turned around and saw a woman clad in a white, brown checked formal suit. The woman has styled her hair in a sleek low ponytail.

" Yes. I am Xu Nuan."

The woman observed her from head to toe and crossed her arms in front of her chest, " It's your first day and you're already 40 minutes late? Just because you have a backing, do you think you can do anything?"

"-_-"

Xu Nuan pursed her lips and put on a forced smile on her face. ' Control Jiang Yue, control. You're indeed late. Let's not fight on the very first day.' she breathed out and flushed out the destructible thoughts out of her mind.

" Now stop dawdling around and follow me. The evaluation is about to start. Even though you're just here to watch, we need to fulfill the formalities at least." The woman walked passed by her and turned left in the corridor.

"-_-"

Xu Nuan scoffed but controlled herself and took a deep breath. She still doesn't know this mysterious woman who was treating her like a spectator so she can't act hastily.

'Well, too bad. She is not here to 'just watch'.'

-

The woman led her to a large practice room which was equipped with speakers and mirrors. There was a table and a few chairs in the front, for the people to sit.

There were a few people inside who were surprised when Xu Nuan entered the room, following the woman.

The woman turned to her and introduced her to everyone.

" Everyone, this is the girl recommended by Secretary Feng. She is going to work with us from now on. Her name is Xu Nuan." The woman gave a brief introduction of her to everyone, but Xu Nuan doesn't like the way she introduced her.

[ Hey, I am Du An. I am the vocal coach here. Nice to meet you.] A man with tousled black hair greeted her enthusiastically.

Xu Nuan was surprised seeing that this place has some good looking people. He was not only young but he had unique idol-like looks. She wondered why he limited himself as a vocal coach only.

He can be launched as an idol.

[ Argh...here you go again. Xu Nuan, don't go on his pretty face. He is a devil when you work with him. He is too strict when he works. Btw I am Qiu Jing. I am a dance trainer here. Let's get along well.] Another man, who has glowing skin and a bright personality who looked as if he jumped out of a manhwa greeted her.

She was content seeing their personalities so far. Their reactions were better than she had expected.

[ I am Ye Ning. I am a songwriter. Nice to meet you.] A girl with a petite face and unique features said indifferently. Even though her words didn't carry any emotions or excitement, she didn't look as annoying as the woman she came with.

Xu Nuan greeted everyone and said, [ Nice to meet you all. I hope we can get along and…] she was saying when the woman she came with interrupted her.

" It's already 11. Take your seats. We are going to start the evaluation." The woman ignored her and walked towards the chairs placed in the room.

She didn't take the center chair but sat on its right side. Du An gave her a nudge, asking her to not mind. She shook her head and took her seat along with everyone.

She sat on the second chair, far away from the cold heart woman. But she pursed her lips when Du An and Qiu Jing came and sat on her either side. She was now sitting between two cutesy handsome men.

Ye Ning shook her head and sat on the far corner seat, beside the woman. After a few minutes, a man who looked in his early 40s, wearing the formal suit entered the room.

Everyone stood up to greet him, seeing their reactions she also stood up.

" Meili, is everything ready?" He asked the woman who was standing straight and was wearing her indifferent expressions.

" Yes, Sir. We have prepared everything. We were just waiting for you to arrive to start."

" Okay. You can tell them to start." He nodded but paused when his eyes fell on the unfamiliar face.

" This..?"

" Sir, this is Xu Nuan, the girl recommended by Secretary Feng. She came late, so I couldn't bring her to see you. Since he has said that she will attend the evaluation process, I allowed her to sit here for now". She said monotonously.

" Hmm. Fine. Ms. Xu Nuan, I hope you can see and learn. Since you're young, it will be better for you to stay put and not cause any trouble." After saying this, he took his seat in the center.

Xu Nuan frowned and also sat down but his words were bothering her. Although he didn't say anything wrong, but… something was off.

Du An saw her confused expressions and leaned closer and explained, " Ms. Xu, he is our company's designated CEO, Mr. Tang Hu. Since this is the first group we are going to launch in a while, he will attend this evaluation process with us."

" Oh. And that woman. Who is she?" She asked in an inaudible whisper.

He nodded as if he understood her words and said, " She is Wang Meili, she is the one who manages everything here. After the company was acquired, these are the two new people who were appointed by the head of the company to manage the whole affairs. We all are the old workers of this company, while these two are the new ones, that's why it's quite awkward while working around them."

" Also, she is the one who is going to manage our upcoming girl group. You have to maintai​n a good relationship with her to work well. She can be rude and blunt sometimes, but just ignore her words and focus on work."

"-_-"

Xu Nuan rolled her eyes at his words. If she is going to manage this new girl group then why is she here?

She pursed her lips and controlled her curiosity for now. She felt that something was not right but she can't be hasty.

Let's talk after this evaluation, Jiang Yue. Relax.'

-

The evaluation finally started. There are 11 girls out of them, they are going to select the seven girls who will debut and will eliminate the four.

The girls came one by one and performed as they had prepared. Xu Nuan noticed that everyone has a page and paper in front of them but she doesn't.

She pulled out her phone and noted every candidate's mistakes, weaknesses, and strong points. She also took some videos for reference as well.

She was surprised that a few girls were really talented among the 11 girls. She was sure that they were going to be part of this girl group. She was already imagining their success.

After their solo performances, the girls were sent out of the room and they started discussing among them.

" Meili, what do you think about their performances? What is your pick for the four girls?" CEO Tang asked while looking at the list of the girls.
