However angry they may be, the two girls could only secretly glare at Fu Xiaoya. Faced with the perfunctory words of the interviewers, they had to bow and express their gratitude.

As the prompt sounded, signaling the next group of contestants to get ready, Fu Xiaoya also prepared to leave. However, she was called back.

“Contestant number 684, please wait.”

The interviewers looked at Qin Huaichen in surprise. They did not expect him to suddenly speak up. Qin Huaichen was a special guest, and his opinion carried significant weight. However, after interviewing over 600 people, he had never commented on any performance, showing little interest in the contestants’ performances.

Upon hearing Qin Huaichen’s voice, the interviewers hoped that he would directly endorse contestant number 684. After all, this contestant was exceptionally talented! They reviewed the profiles of every contestant, and among them, Fu Xiaoya was the most beautiful, leaving an unforgettable impression. Moreover, her vocal abilities were also excellent. With proper training, she had the potential to become a top-tier star or at least have a prominent position among the new generation of stars.

“Mr. Qin, is there anything else?” Fu Xiaoya turned to look at Qin Huaichen, slightly puzzled.

“Your real name is Fu Xiaoya, right?” Qin Huaichen asked.

“Yes.”

“Why did you choose to enter the entertainment industry?”

This question left everyone perplexed. They had no idea why Qin Huaichen asked such a seemingly meaningless question. Moreover, when he asked this question, his expression was particularly serious, and they could even sense a hint of reproach. Everyone couldn’t help but speculate: Did Qin Huaichen know Fu Xiaoya personally?

“To make money,” Fu Xiaoya replied.

This response left everyone taken aback. Normally, when faced with such a question, people would answer with something like, “To pursue my dreams, to bring joy to others, to challenge myself.” But not Fu Xiaoya. She bluntly and straightforwardly said she wanted to make money, leaving no room for ambiguity.

Qin Huaichen furrowed his brows. “Do you previously live in the capital?”

“Yes.” Fu Xiaoya suspected that Qin Huaichen was about to inquire about her personal information.

“Do you know who I am?” Qin Huaichen asked.

In her mind, Fu Xiaoya cursed silently! But she maintained a polite smile on her face. “You hold the title of the Heavenly King Qin, so there won’t be anyone who doesn’t know you.”

Qin Huaichen glanced at Fu Xiaoya, a fleeting hint of dimness in his eyes. Then he tapped the table and said, “I’ve asked what I wanted to ask. Do you have any more questions?”

The five interviewers were suddenly taken aback by the question, and they shook their heads in a daze. “No, we don’t.”

Fu Xiaoya left, and not long after, Qin Huaichen also departed, clearly in a bad mood. This left the five interviewers bewildered. Did they say something to offend him?

Meanwhile, the interviews continued.

After Fu Xiaoya came out, the girls outside looked at her with hostility, as if she had violated the rules of fair competition.

But these glances meant little to Fu Xiaoya. She calmly ordered a cup of coffee and waited for the final results. The more the other girls saw Fu Xiaoya ignoring them, the angrier they became! How could she be so composed, sipping her coffee as if nothing happened?

Someone sarcastically spoke up, “Oh, number 684, I heard you made quite an impression on the interviewers. Did you do something behind our backs that we shouldn’t know about?”

Others chimed in, echoing the sentiment, “Yeah, she must have done something scandalous. Look at her skirt, intentionally creating such a big slit.”

As the remark was made, everyone’s gaze fell on Fu Xiaoya’s skirt—a high-slit skirt revealing her slender legs, adorned with exquisite golden embroidery. The beautiful craftsmanship evoked envy.

Someone exclaimed in surprise, “This skirt looks somewhat similar to ‘Yasheng’, the new collection by Master M launching in October.”

One of the contestants in the same group as Fu Xiaoya disdainfully said, “Do you know who Master M is? Fu Xiaoya is just a rural nobody who hasn’t even entered the entertainment industry. How could she afford ‘Yasheng’? You’re overestimating her.”

Master M was a fashion icon, although currently in semi-retirement, releasing only a few pieces every few years. Each of their creations caused a sensation, and women around the world took pride in wearing clothing designed by Master M. The garments were considered unattainable even for the wealthy.

Another person next to the contestant of number 694 joined in, agreeing, “Exactly! Fu Xiaoya is just a country bumpkin. How could she afford ‘Yasheng’? This must be a knockoff.”
