Chapter 106: The Fiery Zhao Hongbing
Su Bai spoke sincerely and pragmatically.
No matter which company you sign with, no one can guarantee that you will become famous within a certain timeframe.
In the entertainment industry, especially for singers, whether you become popular depends on the company’s resources, but the most important factor is your own talent.
If you can’t sing well and don’t have your own style, no matter how much the company promotes you, you’ll never rise above mediocrity.
Thus, everyone basically agreed with Su Bai’s viewpoint.
At the same time, through her brief words, they realized that Su Bai was a rather honest person.
At the very least, unlike the other companies they had been to, which immediately spun grand promises upon arrival.
Those companies boasted about the stars they had made and the great achievements they had attained.
If it came to achievements, Su Bai’s track record was the most evident, yet this time, she never mentioned a single word about it.
In front of everyone, Su Bai directly said to Song Liang, “Brother Song, please give a brief report on all the current invitations from variety shows. Let everyone know the current situation of our company.”
“Right now, my thought is that everyone needs to make a strong first impression since joining Tiancheng Entertainment.”
“The company currently has several potential variety show collaborations. Feel free to choose whichever one fits your style.”
“Pick a show that suits you and increases your exposure.”
“Of course, during the process, I will provide appropriate advice.”
With hopeful eyes fixed on her, Song Liang then briefly outlined the list of variety shows inviting Su Bai to perform.
“Firstly, there’s ‘Light of Tomorrow,’ a future music role model program created by mentors Yang Xiaomi, Xue Qianqian, and Hua Xingyu under the Tengfei Group’s Tengfei Video.”
“The director is Tian Ye, an old acquaintance of many years.”
“However, this show will be broadcast online, not on television.”
“So naturally, it will attract a new generation of young viewers.”
“Also, I won’t hide it from you—Su Bai will be invited to perform at the beginning of ‘Light of Tomorrow,’ and our company has a collaboration with Tengfei Group.”
“Therefore, this show is currently the one we have the most information about.”
Hearing this, a spark of excitement shone in the eyes of the group; they were clearly intrigued.
Song Liang continued, “Other shows include ‘Great Summer Voice,’ ‘Super Girls,’ ‘Who is the Singer,’ and so on…”
After Song Liang finished, Su Bai added, “Those of you who have been following my news may have noticed something.”
“Most of the artists seen at the party in ‘Fairy Girl’ are from Tiandu Entertainment.”
“If you’ve seen the full video of that event, you might have noticed a slight friction between Hua Xingyu and me.”
“Moreover, that party was organized by Tiandu Entertainment specifically to sign me.”
“As for the current situation, it’s clear—I run my own company and haven’t signed with them, so I can’t guarantee Hua Xingyu won’t target me.”
“Also, I’m not afraid to tell you all that my relationship with Yang Xiaomi is decent, and it’s okay with Xue Qianqian, but Hua Xingyu’s relationship is just not as good as the other two.”
“So, if you want to join ‘Light of Tomorrow,’ it’s best to avoid joining Hua Xingyu’s group.”
“As for other shows, there’s nothing special to watch out for.”
With Su Bai’s clear analysis, everyone’s choices became clearer.
If they still didn’t know how to choose after such an obvious explanation, they might as well be fools.
However, an inevitable concern arose in their minds.
A variety show can only have a few finalists in the end.
If eight or nine of them all joined ‘Light of Tomorrow,’ it would mean splitting the resources.
Resources concentrated on one person are vastly different from those divided among many.
In that case, it might be better to go to other variety singing competitions.
Although the company’s resources for those shows aren’t as abundant as for ‘Light of Tomorrow,’ if only one person participates, all the resources would be focused on them.
This was the dilemma every girl was pondering.
At the same time, they were contemplating how to make their decision.
“All right, three days from now, give me your choice results.”
“Then, the company will arrange targeted training based on your selections.”

At Zhao Family Hospital in Yanjing, Zhao Hongbing suddenly slammed everything on the desk to the floor.
He roared furiously, “Why? Why does that old bastard’s casual words mean I have to suffer in vain?”
“You all don’t care about me, right? Then I’ll handle it myself!”
Jinfeng looked at her son with a heart full of pain, gently stroking his face.
“Hongbing! Han Lao is unlike the others we’ve dealt with before. The powerful figures currently in power all have deep ties to Han Lao. We can’t act recklessly!”
“But, Bing’er, rest assured, Jinfeng isn’t without her own loyal followers. Overseas, I have a secret weapon.”
“Though I can’t bring Su Bai to you for retribution, I can make sure he never sees the light of day again.”
Zhao Hongbing’s chest rose and fell heavily.
After a long moment, he ground his teeth and said grimly, “Then let him die!!!”
“But don’t act against Yang Mengke just yet—I want to wait until after Su Bai dies to have some fun with that little bitch!”
“Made me suffer for so long, heh heh heh…”
A cruel expression twisted Zhao Hongbing’s face beyond words.
“By the way, Mom, didn’t my third brother Jin Yongcheng say he’d be back soon?”
“When exactly will he return?”
“He was doing well back home, not sure why he suddenly went to Europe!”
Thinking of Jin Yongcheng, a trace of admiration appeared on Zhao Hongbing’s face.
Zhao Hongbing was already twisted in his own way, but compared to Jin Yongcheng, it was child’s play.
The various shocking events that shook Yanjing were all orchestrated by Jin Yongcheng behind the scenes.
It could be said that Zhao Hongbing’s current temperament was closely related to always following in Jin Yongcheng’s footsteps.
It was Jin Yongcheng who opened the door to a new world for Zhao Hongbing.
He showed Zhao Hongbing a dazzling, different world.
In the beginning, the Zhao family was not counted among Yanjing’s eight great families.
It was only after aligning with the Jin family that they slowly entered the ranks of the eight great families.
Though now ranked last among them, their rapid progress in recent years hinted at moving toward seventh place.
This made the Zhao family even more determined to follow closely in the Jin family’s footsteps.
After all, the Jin family ranked second among the eight great families, only behind the long-standing leader, the Long family.
Although all are noble families, the gap between the Zhao family and both the Jin and Long families was vast.
This was also why Zhao Hongbing always acted like a mere grandson in front of Long Ling’er.
