Chapter 123

On the third day after Eileen returned to the Capital, she got a call from Ophelia. Ophelia offered her a

new opportunity for a variety show. When Eileen saw the screenshot of the project that was sent to her,

she asked in surprise, “A talent show?”

Ophelia explained, “Your recent performance as a backup dancer for Colin has caused quite a stir

online, so several talent shows have sent you invitations. However, we don’t intend for you to be a

contestant. They want you to be a celebrity coach.”

Eileen was confused. “What’s a celebrity coach?”

Ophelia explained. “In this show, in addition to four coaches and one hundred contestants, three

celebrities will be invited as celebrity coaches. Each celebrity coach. will represent a team. During the

show, eliminated contestants can have the chance to join the celebrity coach’s team. During the stage

performance, the recommended team will draw lots to challenge the advancing team. If they succeed,

the members of the recommended team can return to the competition.”

“So, if someone gets eliminated, I can have her join my team, then help her challenge those who

haven’t been eliminated, and if she succeeds, she can rejoin the competition?”

Eileen basically got it.

Ophelia responded, “That’s pretty much it. The job isn’t complicated, and you don’t have to do much.

The production team will arrange dance and singing teachers to train them. You just need to give them

encouragement at the right time.”

Eileen thought the job sounded pretty easy, so she asked, “What’s my pay per episode?”

Ophelia chuckled. “Knew you’d ask that. You’ll get eight grand per episode. Following the company’s

and your distribution ratio, you’ll probably earn around fifty thousand after twelve episodes.”

“Fifty thousand!” Eileen quickly agreed. “Alright, I’m in!”

The talent show was called Shining Star. Eileen arrived at the recording site the day before the show

was to be recorded. To maintain the mystery of the show, the production team didn’t let the stars meet

in advance but wanted to capture their reactions when they first meet each other on the second day of

recording.

Eileen asked with a smile, “So, among the coaches or celebrity coaches, are there people I know?”

The staff member nodded. “Definitely people you know.”

The next day, when Eileen entered the recording site, she found out that she knew one of the coaches

– Hubery.

As Eileen walked past the coach seats, she saw Hubery looking at her in surprise. Obviously, he didn’t

expect her to be there.

Eileen shook her head, she had guessed the show’s gimmick. She originally thought that Hubery’s

appearance was enough to surprise her, but she didn’t expect an even bigger surprise was yet to

come. A few more coaches and celebrity coaches entered the scene one after another, but the last one

to make an appearance was

Aurora.

Aurora walked up to the stage with a smile.

Aurora’s appearance in the show was unexpected for everyone. Both the coaches and the celebrity

coaches were surprised. The cameramen quickly captured all of

this.

At the same time, one camera was specifically focused on Eileen. She and Aurora had both

participated in the Traveller 5+1 show, but because of Egbert’s choice, a subtle conflict arose between

them.

Eileen also joined two shows with Hubery. But in these two shows, Eileen never showed a friendly face

to Hubery.

Now, having Eileen, Aurora, and Hubery on the same screen was enough to create at least five hot

topics for the show’s premiere.

Current talent shows were popping up like mushrooms after a rain. If they didn’t do some promotion

and marketing, they couldn’t attract attention.

When Eileen saw Aurora, she was speechless. But she didn’t expect there to be an even bigger

surprise waiting for her in the show.

Later, the hundred contestants came on stage one after another, Eileen was surprised to see Hedy

standing in the middle of the hundred people!

Both Hedy and Hubery, didn’t expect to see Eileen here. Hedy looked terrified. But Eileen just felt a bit

helpless.

Dealing with Hedy was like effortlessly squashing an ant, so Eileen was already bored with it.

Once everyone was present, the show started with the contestants’ debut performance.

The hundred contestants seemed like a lot, but most of them were doing group dancers, so it didn’t

take too long to watch.

Evaluating the debut performance had nothing to do with the celebrity coaches; it was mostly the

coaches who were speaking.

Eileen was just sitting on the side doing nothing until one contestant did a solo dance.

That contestant was a short-haired girl, dressed quite plain, looking cool. She danced very well,

causing a few rounds of applause from the audience.

After the performance, Aurora was the first to comment, “Your name is Karin, right? You’re very

talented, I think your dancing skill is already at a professional level, and you’re only sixteen, truly

impressive.”

Karin didn’t respond or say, “thank you”; she just stood there quietly.

Aurora was a bit awkward, and looked towards Hubery.

Hubery took over, “Was the solo dance you just did self-choreographed? It’s quite creative.”

Karin picked up the microphone next to her, and said coldly, “It’s not my own. I learned it from Elleen’s

previous dance videos.”

Eileen was suddenly mentioned, and all eyes on the scene immediately turned to her.

She sat in her chair, nodding to Karin on stage, and smiled: “I recognized it too. You did it very well.”

A hint of blush suddenly crept onto the usually aloof face of Karin. She lowered her head, hiding the

delight inside.

Karin’s final rating was a B. Of the four coaches, Aurora granted her a B, Hubery a C, and the other

two, both As. After the scores were averaged out, Karin landed herself a B.

Upon the ratings being revealed, the other two coaches turned their gaze towards Aurora and Hubery.

Aurora gave them a mild smile, saying, “I’m not a professional dancer, so I don’t feel comfortable

throwing around scores.”

– But didn’t you say that her dancing was at a professional level?

The two coaches had their own thoughts about this but kept their mouths shut.

Hubery, on the other hand, didn’t mince words. He told Karin, “I don’t think this dance suits you.”

After he finished speaking, he called qut, “Next.”

After a while, it was Hedy’s turn.

Hedy performed a group dance with four other girls, taking the lead. The routine was pretty similar to

aerobics.

When the performance ended, all four coaches gave her the highest rating. Without a doubt, she made

it into the top-tier team.

Eileen chuckled when she saw this. Wasn’t this the so-called nobility of the talent selection industry?

At the end of a full day of filming, it was already 9 o’clock in the evening. As Eileen was getting ready to

leave, Hubery suddenly stopped her. “I need to have a word with you.”

Hubery cornered Eileen backstage and got straight to the point.

Eileen put her hands in her pockets, saying coldly, “Sorry, I don’t want to talk to you.”

Hubery’s face darkened, and he suddenly asked, “You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you? You

always show up whenever Hedy and I are present. You pretend to be indifferent to me, but in reality,

you always find a way to be around me. Are you trying to get my attention? Are you that desperate to

see me, Eileen?”

Eileen looked at Hubery in front of her and remained silent for a long time. Finally, she asked curiously,

“Why would I want to see you? This industry is only so big. If anything happens to you, it will surely

reach my ears. Whether I see you or not, I wouldn’t be the one sending you flowers. Don’t you know

that?”
