Chapter 207 - Birth Of A Star (1)
There was something familiar about Su Xiaofei's face, but Fan Jian couldn't point it out. She felt like she had seen Su Xiaofei's face somewhere, but she couldn't remember where. As Su Xiaofei turned her head and smiled at Xiao Rufeng, Fan Jian finally realized why she felt such familiarity.
Fan Jian had been working in the industry for several years now and when Bai Qingyue was around twenty-five years old, she had worked as her private vocal coach to improve her singing skill. This Su Xiaofei reminded her of Bai Qingyue's younger years in the industry, although the two gave off different impressions.
While Bai Qingyue was known for her gentleness and ethereal beauty, making it easy for her to get along with anyone whom she met, Su Xiaofei had this impression of a young queen who had come to see her subjects, smiling as if she didn't care about what others thought of her presence.
It was clear that she was getting a lot of scrutinizing looks from others, but she acted like she couldn't be bothered by any of it. Because Su Xiaofei had arrived with Wan An, everyone thought she had connections inside.
When Wan An left, the recruits went to their seats and waited for the class to start. Fan Jian stood in front next to the piano and regarded everyone with a serious expression on her face.
"I see that we have a new face joining us today." She said, eyeing Su Xiaofei.
Su Xiaofei immediately stood up and introduced herself. She had heard a lot of things about Fan Jian in her past life, but unfortunately, she never had the chance to be acquainted with this renowned voice coach.
"Hello, Teacher Fan. I'm Xiao Fei. I'll be joining your class for today."
Fan Jian's brows shot up upon hearing Su Xiaofei's words. Did this mean that this young lady hadn't signed the contract yet? However, the senior executives were quite strict when it came to their new recruits.
Because of the persisting problem of trainees leaving their company once they gained enough popularity, the management made sure that they would all be legally liable and bound for a limited time to the company.
Those under eighteen were also required to have their parent's approval and to sign a waiver to make sure that they wouldn't easily break from their contracts. So Su Xiaofei's presence today confused Fan Jian. However, since VP Fang had given his approval, President Yun must also be aware of it.
"Okay. Take a seat and pay attention to our class. I will not repeat myself, so you all better make sure to take notes and practice on your own later." Fan Jian said, glancing at Su Xiaofei with unconcealed curiosity in her eyes.
Being beautiful in showbiz was one thing, but one couldn't stay long if she's merely relying on her face alone. One needed to be competent and have the skills to be able to flourish in the industry. While it's true that Su Xiaofei had a unique face that could easily distinguish her from the crowd, it could only give her a good first impression.
As Fan Jian thought of this, the young lady wasn't bothered by what she and the others thought of her at the moment. If these young recruits could easily be intimidated by a stranger like her and couldn't break past their limits, then they better pack up their things and go home.
Su Xiaofei wasn't interested in nurturing talents that would only focus on others and not on improving themselves. This would only mean that they were wasting Bluemedia's resources!
It was hard to find a valuable diamond in a pile of dirt anyway.
The class started with a recap of their previous lesson. While others thought that Su Xiaofei would have a hard time understanding their lesson, she had already understood what Fan Jian was teaching the moment she heard the recap. She had once prided herself to sing very well, however, when one incident ruined her vocal cords, Su Xiaofei had unwillingly given up on singing.
Whether she still had this ability, Su Xiaofei wasn't sure herself. Since her rebirth, she had never sung a song in fear that it would only disappoint her.
As the others started to sing following the tune of the piano, Su Xiaofei was lost in her own thoughts. Xiao Rufeng glanced at her worriedly, pondering if Su Xiaofei was indeed having trouble with their lesson.
It didn't take long before Fan Jian noticed that Su Xiaofei wasn't paying attention in her class. Although Su Xiaofei was brought in by Wan An and hadn't signed a contract yet, Fan Jian didn't like her class to be taken lightly by others.
Fan Jian scowled as she glanced at Su Xiaofei and her fingers suddenly stopped hitting the keys of the piano. Her sudden halt surprised everyone, knowing that she would only act like this only when she was displeased by something.
Everyone then followed Fan Jian's gaze and saw that their coach was staring at the newbie. It was only then that Su Xiaofei realized everyone's eyes were on her.
"Xiao Fei seems like she couldn't follow our lesson. Since you are new here, won't you show us what you know so far? Can you sing for us?" Fan Jian suggested, clearly wanting to test this new recruit who was receiving special treatment from VP Fang. She wanted to know what else Su Xiofei could offer aside from her beautiful countenance.
"I'm not that good at singing, as I still have so much to learn. So I hope Teacher Fan can forgive me if I make a mistake today." Su Xiaofei replied and rose from her seat. She then went and stood in front of the class, a calm and relaxed expression on her face. No hint of nervousness could be seen on her.
"Can you play any musical instrument?" Fan Jian asked.
"I can play the piano decently.." Su Xiaofei smiled in response.
