Chapter 2156: Let Your Ability Do The Talking
Xue Ziqi looked up and saw a girl dressed like a punk. She immediately recognized her as the newcomer that another music company was promoting recently—Liu Jiajia.
They debuted almost at the same time and were competing for the spot of the most popular newcomer in the music industry. They were competitors.
“Sorry, I didn’t notice. I’m really sorry!”
Xue Ziqi quickly apologized. The elevator was already crowded. She wanted to move away, but she could not.
The two of them had their arms on each other. It was impossible not to have friction between them.
Liu Jiajia had also recognized Xue Ziqi. The two of them had always been in fierce competition with each other on the Newcomer Rankings. Now that she saw her rival in person, she glared at her darkly. “I think you did it on purpose!”
“I really didn’t do it on purpose!”
Xue Ziqi explained a few times, but the other party did not buy it.
Just like that, the two rookie singers started to fight in the elevator. In the end, Xue Ziqi was annoyed and directly said, “Fine, fine. I deliberately stepped on you. What do you want?”
Liu Jiajia raised her eyebrows and was about to flare up. However, the elevator doors happened to separate and there were many television station staff outside. In order to not leave a bad impression, she restrained her temper.
When leaving the elevator, she didn’t forget to shoot Xue Ziqi a warning look.
Only Wandou and Xue Ziqi were left in the elevator. Xue Ziqi wrinkled her nose at Liu Jiajia and mumbled, “Hmph, big deal!”
“Let’s go, Qiqi. Don’t let this small matter affect your mood.” To Wandou, this kind of small conflict was nothing. There was no need to take it to heart.
The two girls walked out of the elevator together and went to the TV station. They found the relevant person-in-charge and after confirming the procedure, they went to the backstage dressing room to prepare for their makeup.
There was a huge dressing room for the whole show. When Wandou and the others arrived, there were already many celebrities who were anxiously putting on makeup and styling themselves.
Liu Jiajia had already sat down in front of the dressing table. Her stylist and makeup artist were helping her with her makeup.
Wandou and Xue Ziqi found an empty spot behind Liu Jiajia.
Wandou placed their bags in the storage compartment on the wall and started to help Xue Ziqi put on her makeup.
Xue Ziqi stared at the mirror as she put on her makeup and said, “It’s really a small world indeed.To think that I would be placed after her performance. I’m feeling some pressure now.”
Wandou knew that Xue Ziqi was talking about Liu Jiajia, who was diagonally opposite her. She had seen the schedule just now and knew that their segments were very similar. The TV station could only choose to keep one of them, so it would be crucial for the rehearsal later.
“Don’t worry. You can let your ability do the talking.”
Wandou had heard of Liu Jiajia’s songs and Xue Ziqi’s songs. The two singers had different singing characteristics, but she felt that Xue Ziqi’s voice was better. As long as Xue Ziqi performed normally, she would definitely not lose to Liu Jiajia.
Half an hour later, most of the artists were done with their makeup and gathered backstage, ready to go on stage.
“Let’s go and familiarize ourselves with the stage environment.”
Wandou accompanied Xue Ziqi out of the dressing room. When they walked out, Xue Ziqi realized she had left phone on the dressing table and said, “Oh no, I forgot my phone.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll go get it for you.”
Wandou turned around to get her phone and happened to see something.
Only Liu Jiajia and her entourage were left in the dressing room. Moreover, she also saw someone rummaging around in front of the storage compartment.
When that person saw someone coming, he left with Liu Jiajia.
Wandou saw Xue Ziqi’s phone on the dressing table and picked it up. Just as she was about to leave, she felt something was amiss.
