Chapter 292: Extraordinary Risks

After taking a sip of cold water, Lin Yunan calmed down. “I plan to let you take part in a variety show.”
“Variety show?” Xia Ling asked. “What type of variety show?” Besides interviews, the only variety show she had participated in her two lifetimes was the Nebula Music Festival. She was able to shine in PK-type shows, but what about the others? In her past life, Pei Ziheng said they were too lowly to be considered.
Lin Yunan said, “Extraordinary Risks.”
Both Xia Ling and Li Lei gave him confused looks.
Lin Yunan wanted to flip a table again. “I can’t believe that you’ve never heard of the famous ‘Extraordinary Risks’ before!” Lin Yunan was about to go crazy. Was he the one who left the entertainment industry for a full seven years or the two people in front of him? What sort of people does Skyart have... He decided that if he had the chance to manage another artiste in the future, he would definitely not manage someone from Skyart Entertainment! Their Boss and artistes were all clueless! Too ignorant!
Xia Ling very innocently softly and said, “I have never watched a variety show before.”
“Then what do you usually do?!” Lin Yunan raged.
“Sing and listen to songs.” Xia Ling counted using her fingers. “Recently, I’m practicing mixing my voice, and as you know, this takes up most of my time...” After practicing this for some time, she would be able to reach higher notes with a stronger voice. In her past life, Xia Ling was naturally endowed with singing skills and could easily sing whistle notes. Sometime back when she was composing “Stray Cat,” she realized that whatever she wrote was not smooth. The only reason was that she had many notes in that range and could not sing them now.
Whistle notes were a rare gift, and she was very fortunate in her past life to be born with it.
However, she was not as lucky in this lifetime as she lacked the natural gift and needed to make up for it. Since she could not sing the whistle notes, she could only work hard to master her mixed voice.
Thinking about it, she realized that when she practiced in the morning, she was still lacking in resonance. Would it be better if she changed methods...
Lin Yunan called her a few times.
“I’m talking to you now! Are you listening?” He yelled at Xia Ling.
Li Lei pushed him aside with a wave of his hand and warned him. “You’re not allowed to shout at Xiao Ling.”
Lin Yunan was speechless.
His era was over. If it were seven years ago, who would dare to disrespect a top agent like him?! The pursuer of the artiste? Offending him would mean the artiste would be suppressed, killed, or even repeatedly attempt suicide!
This commotion caused Xia Ling to come back to reality.
Xia Ling widened her eyes. “What were we talking about again?” She looked at Lin Yunan strangely. “Why are you sitting on the floor?”
Lin Yunan coldly stood up from the ground. “Do you still want me to introduce you to Extraordinary Risks?”
“Of course.” Replied Xia Ling decisively. “I need to know more about the show before I decide whether to sign up for it.”
“If you lose your focus again,” said Lin Yunan expressionlessly. “I will cancel your appearance in the variety show.” Besides, if she had no interest in it, she would not look good in the filming, and it would negatively affect her reputation. Besides, it was also time to set a few ground rules. Her Big Boss pursuer and she were too arrogant and thought of themselves too highly!
Only then did Xia Ling fix her attitude.
After working with him, she really trusted Lin Yunan’s professionalism which was on par with Chu Chen and Sister Mai Na. Since he proposed the idea to her, it must be of value.
Lin Yunan was satisfied after seeing her serious expression.
Ignoring the interfering Big Boss, he said, “This is the trump card variety show that just aired last year on Pearl Television. As the name implies, Extraordinary Risks involves participants going to extraordinary locations to take some risk or do some intriguing things. An episode airs once every week, so 12 weeks or 3 months would mean a season. Every season, they will invite very high-profile celebrities to participate in the show. For example, in the summer, rock and roll megastar Zhou Xiaolong, the actress Louis Chen who was just nominated during the Cannes Film Festival, and countless other popular stars were invited.”
Xia Ling nodded her head.
She understood why Lin Yunan wanted her to take part in this variety show.
In her past life, Pei Ziheng prevented her from participating in any variety show because he was afraid it would lower her status, and participants in variety shows were usually not high profile stars. If Xia Ling appeared in an awards ceremony which involved the gathering of celebrities, it would benefit her, but if she appeared in a group of celebrities that were of lower tiers, it would be lowering herself.
This time, the participants of “Extraordinary Risks” were qualified stars as they were stars she would have interacted with in awards ceremonies or celebrity gatherings in her past life, at least based on the names Lin Yunan reported.
With her status in this lifetime, appearing on the same show as them would mean she would be making friends with people of higher social standings.
Li Lei was also interested and asked, “Who will be appearing this season?”
Lin Yunan glared coldly at him. “Don’t interrupt. This is Dongyue’s matter.”
“That’s my girlfriend’s business.”
“Who is your girlfriend?!” This time, even Xia Ling was glaring at him.
“Xiao Ling...” Li Lei started to feel wronged and acted like a spoiled child.
“If you interrupt again, I will throw you out!” Xia Ling looked at him menacingly like a ferocious dog.
As such, Big Boss Li aggrievedly shut up.
Beside them, Lin Yunan was staring at their interaction coldly and asked, “When are you going to reconcile?”
“Huh?”
“Huh?”
This time, both of them were stunned.
“The stupid way you are acting really resembles a couple.” Lin Yunan commented expressionlessly.
As such, Li Lei beamed, completely ignoring the word “stupid” and decided that he would not kill him for his organs anymore.
However, Xia Ling was unhappy. “Who said that?! I’m not reconciling with him! I have never even thought about that before!”
“When women say they don’t want something, they usually want it.” Lin Yunan took out his journal and started to record something down. “Li Lei, it is better if you answer this question. Do you have a short-term plan to get back together? Or will it be a public relationship again?”
Li Lei regained some of his composure. “I will marry Xiao Ling for sure. Before that, I will respect Xiao Ling’s opinion. If she wants our relationship to go public, then it will. Otherwise, we will keep it private.”
After they broke up, Li Lei did some soul searching.
He was really too rash and not thought about her feelings before publicly announcing their relationship. This was what caused the negative gossip surrounding her and made her feel disrespected.
Perhaps, this was the reason why Xiao Ling felt unsafe and wanted to leave him to feel independent again.
Li Lei’s expression darkened. This time, he would protect and love her more carefully.
After hearing what he said, Xia Ling looked at him again.
After glancing at her expression, Lin Yunan smiled and scoffed. “Admit it, you have feelings for him. I’m not part of the paparazzi and have no interest in your love affair. The only thing I care about is how your relationship will affect your future. By the way, I have to mention that there will be male and female speed dating in Extraordinary Risks.”
