Chapter 1027: Xu Niannian Wants to Enter Zhaofeng Entertainment

Editor: Henyee Translations

Gu Jin said lightly, “There’s no need.”

Feng Jue smiled and said nothing.

Gu Pei sighed with the air of someone who had experienced it all. “If I can make it through all these reviews, you two should be able to do even better. It’s a shame to miss this chance.”

Gu Yang rubbed her forehead, feeling exasperated. “Brother, you should focus on your own performance first.”

After all, her brother’s spot in the interview was more or less assured.

Gu Pei’s playful demeanor turned serious as he clenched his fists. “Sister, don’t worry. I won’t let you down! I’m determined to join Team Blue Whale and make our ancestors proud!”

Gu Yang could only respond with a resigned “…”

She watched Gu Pei’s confident retreat, speechless. Even when he was the top scorer in the capital’s College Entrance Examination, he had never spoken of ‘bringing glory.’ Now, with Team Blue Whale in his sights, he was ready to bring honor to the family.

The Gu family’s ancestors had long been impressive on their own.

The interview for Team Blue Whale was scheduled for a month later. During this time, Gu Pei and Qin Xian dedicated themselves to intense preparation, frequently seeking guidance and sparring with Gu Jin and Feng Jue. Their skills improved significantly.

Previously, Gu Pei mentioned that Xu Niannian had joined the CNM Team. However, Xu Niannian did not appear on the list of new CNM Team members.

Instead, Xu Niannian joined Team Killer Whale.

When Gu Pei learned of this, he fell silent for a long time.

In the past, Xu Niannian was a fan of Team Blue Whale, while the Killer Whale Team was notorious for its unscrupulous reputation. Gu Pei was surprised to see her join Killer Whale.

He shrugged off the disappointment, recognizing that things had changed. After all, he wasn’t particularly close to Xu Niannian.

Since their parting outside the restaurant near Hua University’s east gate, Gu Pei hadn’t seen her. It wasn’t until National Day that Xu Niannian reached out.

After their breakup, Gu Pei had blacklisted Xu Niannian, but she had since changed her number.

On the call, Xu Niannian said, “Gu Pei, I want to enter the entertainment industry and sign with Zhaofeng Entertainment. Can you help me out, considering our past?”

It was clear she was looking for a favor.

Gu Pei responded firmly, “No. Zhaofeng Entertainment doesn’t operate that way. If you want to join the company, you’ll have to go through the proper channels.”

Xu Niannian protested, “Gu Pei, are you really that heartless?”

Gu Pei rolled his eyes. “Even if you were still my girlfriend, you’d still need to follow the process.”

Xu Niannian then asked, “What if it were Qin Shuling?”

Gu Pei was taken aback. “Her? If she wanted to make a name for herself, she wouldn’t be coming to me.”

The Qin family was one of the four great families, even more influential than the Gu family and on par with the Xiao family.

Xu Niannian’s voice trembled with frustration. “You don’t know the full story. She may seem innocent and cute, but she’s actually quite vicious. She’s just putting on an act for you!”

Gu Pei frowned, feeling inexplicably annoyed. “I don’t want to hear this. I’m hanging up.”

How many children from aristocratic families were truly innocent?

Being shrewd wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. He was more than capable of seeing through such pretense.

Gu Pei ended the call.

Soon after, he received a message from Xu Niannian: [If you don’t let me join Zhaofeng Entertainment, don’t regret it later.]

“What’s there to regret?” Gu Pei thought.

He blocked her number.

If he were to stoop to Xu Niannian’s level and help her get into Zhaofeng Entertainment, he would be the one regretting it. But he had no intention of doing so.
