Around 10:40 a.m, Fu Xiaoya saw a woman in a professional suit walking towards her. The woman had her hair pulled back and exuded an air of competence and composure.
"Sorry for the wait." Lin Ying glanced at her watch, a hint of surprise in her eyes. She reached out her hand and introduced herself to Fu Xiaoya, "I'm Lin Ying, your manager."
Lin Ying was a woman with a strong presence.
"I'm Fu Xiaoya. I'll be relying on you from now on." Fu Xiaoya smiled.
Lin Ying's first impression of Fu Xiaoya was quite good. She carried herself with confidence and was beautiful.
"I've brought your contract." Lin Ying handed the contract to Fu Xiaoya. "The contract is for three years. Take a look, and if you have any questions about the terms, I can explain them. If there's anything you're unsatisfied with, we can discuss modifications."
Fu Xiaoya took the contract and went through all the terms. The contract was for three years, and although it didn't come with an apartment, it included a car and a monthly accommodation allowance.
"No problem," Fu Xiaoya replied.
Lin Ying opened the itinerary and continued explaining the upcoming activities. "You'll be participating in the program 'Debut Girls!' The training for the program starts as usual tomorrow. You have an X script, which means it's undecided. It will depend on your performance. If you do well, there's a possibility of making your debut."
Lin Ying didn't dare to promise too much. In fact, the fact that Fu Xiaoya had received an X script was already surprising. All domestic variety shows had scripts, and the winners were often pre-determined. The participation of some amateurs and slightly famous celebrities were just to add excitement to the show. But back then, Fu Xiaoya, a newcomer without any job offers, had actually received an X script, indicating that she had already stepped into the position of a debutante.
Lin Ying believed that Fu Xiaoya was able to get this script because the organizers knew about Fu Xiaoya's relationship with Wang Biduo.
"Lin Ying, what do I need to prepare?" Fu Xiaoya certainly wanted to debut. This show would have an impact on her future development.
Lin Ying responded, "Your current focus should be on making a lasting impression and gaining popularity. 'Debut Girls!' This show conducts training sessions only three days a week, so I have arranged for you to take part in an extra variety show. It may require you to put in extra effort during this period."
Fu Xiaoya didn't want to be idle either. She wanted to earn money quickly. "Okay, Lin Ying, I don't find it difficult. I can handle any number of activities."
Lin Ying's expression softened. She thought Fu Xiaoya was quite ambitious and obedient.
"This variety show is a dating show, featuring well-known celebrities in the industry. It's quite challenging to secure a spot on this show. I have arranged for you to participate in three episodes. I will send you the script later for your review. As for the specific participants in the show, I'm not yet aware," Lin Ying explained.
"Okay, thank you, Lin Ying," Fu Xiaoya said.
From start to finish, Fu Xiaoya maintained a good attitude. She was very cooperative and didn't nitpick. Lin Ying initially thought that Fu Xiaoya had connections and would act haughty, trying to dictate her work. She didn't expect Fu Xiaoya's attitude to be so positive.
Unable to resist, Lin Ying gave a few more reminders, "The guests on this dating variety show are your seniors. You must choose your words carefully and follow the script."
"Okay, I will go back and carefully read the script. If I have any questions, I'll rely on you, Lin Ying," Fu Xiaoya replied. After speaking, she poured water for Lin Ying and even got her a small piece of cake.
Lin Ying smiled and enjoyed the cake while continuing to advise Fu Xiaoya, "Being an artist is challenging, and being a star is even more difficult. Your physique is good, but you still need to pay attention to maintaining it. Try to cut back on desserts and similar indulgences. I'm not trying to restrict you deliberately, but it's a common practice in the industry. Many stars may already look thin in real life, but they need to be even more careful for the camera. After all, high-definition lenses can add ten pounds to a person's appearance. So, be mindful of your desires and eating habits."
Fu Xiaoya agreed, "I will keep that in mind."
After finishing the cake, Lin Ying asked Fu Xiaoya, "Where do you live? Shall I escort you home?"
Fu Xiaoya checked the time. It was already past noon. She declined Lin Ying's offer, "I live not far from here. I can go back on my own."
