When Pan Tingmei returned to the practice studio, Jack was in the middle of talking to Yu Luoluo. When she saw how much Jack was smiling at Yu Luoluo, Pan Tingmei felt a sick feeling in her stomach.
Zhi Ya Entertainment held a test for all their trainees every two weeks. The year of being a trainee was a stressful period. The competition was strong and the tempo was fast, so none of the trainees could afford to take a break. Whenever they finished an assessment, they would start preparing fro the next one. They would have rehearsals and practices with their various mentors on a daily basis. If they had the chance to have a lesson with their seniors who were already celebrities with experience, they would count their lucky stars that night.
Pan Tingmei’s mood had improved after speaking with her aunty. She didn’t mind not getting first place. She was going to concentrate on seducing Cheng Chen.
However, when she saw the high regard Jack held Yu Luoluo in as he spoke to her, it made her skin crawl. Yu Luoluo was like a thorn in her side. When Pan Tingmei entered the company, she had the intention of being the most outstanding trainee around. She was the one who was supposed to be the top of the class. She was always the brightest star wherever she went.
But she met Yu Luoluo, who bested her in every way. She was not going to let this go so easily!
Pan Tingmei’s sidekick Lin Lin walked over to her. She whispered vindictively in her ears, “Ever since you left the studio, Jack has been talking to Yu Luoluo. Look, they’re not done talking yet. They’re laughing at each other’s jokes and all. I wonder what they’re discussing!”
Pan Tingmei bit her lip silently. Jack was the mentor of all the trainees. It would mean the world to get his approval because it would be a real indication of her capabilities. Although Jack was kind and polite to her, she knew that he only treated her that way out of special consideration for her aunt. She didn’t want that kind of special treatment, or rather, she wanted extraordinary treatment. She didn’t want anyone else to be treated in a special way by him, especially not Yu Luoluo!
When she saw that Pan Tingmei was silent, Lin Lin continued, “Hmph, I wonder if Jack is trying to hit on Yu Luoluo. The two of them have been awfully close recently. It’s no wonder that Yu Luoluo always gets the best scores. I thought that your performance was the best this time round. I can’t believe the first place still went to Yu Luoluo. Something is up, I tell you!”
Pan Tingmei didn’t think much of it at the beginning, but Lin Lin planted a thought in her head and the thought firmly took hold. Pan Tingmei looked at Yu Luoluo and smirked. “Slut.”
By noon, rumors of Jack and Yu Luoluo hooking up had spread to all the trainees. Gossip was like wildfire; it spread fast and dangerously without care of its consequences. By the time Luoluo heard about it, it was difficult to do damage control.
During lunch, Yu Luoluo could tell that she was the topic of discussion at every table. All the trainees and staff members were staring at her, gossiping and mocking her ruthlessly.
To be honest, it was not a good feeling. Yu Luoluo had a short fuse, and she was holding back her temper. She reminded herself that she was only a trainee. When she became a real artiste, she would have to put up with much worse. She told herself to take this as training and that she had to control her temper!
As she sat alone, she started chewing on her vegetable salad angrily as if the piece of lettuce was her worst enemy!
