The Goddess is Sweet and Aloof-Chapter 1076 - 1072: You Look a Lot Like My Friend

"Don’t worry, Xiaren’s judgment is as good as anyone’s." Weini walked over and patted him on the shoulder, fully aware of what Qing Ran was thinking. "When it comes to assessing people, no one can match her eye for talent—not even you or me. If Xiaren believes Yu Qianchu is capable, then he’s definitely capable."

A sharp eye for people?

A 20-year-old girl?

Qing Ran found it a bit far-fetched and nodded half-skeptically.

Thus, a nearly torturous test began.

The six entertainers had no idea that, in the middle of the night, half-asleep and dazed, Qiao Xiaren would suddenly burst in to call them up for training! Stopwatch in hand, leaving them no room for negotiation.

"Run 15 laps around the swimming pool now. The fastest one can go back to rest; the rest of you, keep running."

This was training straight out of hell!

The six of them jolted awake, threw off their blankets, got dressed, and began running around the pool. The pool was rectangular in shape, and each lap was roughly 250 meters—a deadly distance to run over and over!

As soon as the stopwatch was clicked, all six of them took off at full speed.

Qiao Xiaren sat by the side, calmly keeping time, her expression indifferent.

Weini stood by, yawning; if he hadn’t been sleeping nearby tonight, he wouldn’t have made it over here at all.

E Zizhen started off running spiritedly, determined to prove he was better than Yu Qianchu. He ran far ahead of Qianchu, hoping Qiao Xiaren would notice that he wasn’t inferior to him!

But as it turned out, boasting was the easy part. After ten laps, E Zizhen was exhausted, too tired to even lift his legs, unable to see the figures in front of him clearly.

Sure enough, Yu Qianchu was the first to complete the task.

On his forehead was a Hello Kitty band-aid, which made him look oddly innocent in the night.

Almost an hour passed before everyone else finally finished running, one by one.

"E Zizhen, this round, you lost."

Hearing that cold voice, E Zizhen frowned and stood up again. "I still don’t accept this! What does running have to do with the entertainment industry?"

"Do you think being a celebrity is as easy as it looks, just showing your face every day?" Qiao Xiaren sneered. "With so many engagements to attend daily, how can you keep up without sufficient stamina?"

E Zizhen couldn’t find a way to argue back.

"Yu Qianchu, rest. The rest of you, continue running."

At Qiao Xiaren’s command, the group let out a collective groan but continued to jog wearily around the pool.

Yu Qianchu simply nodded and turned to leave.

"Weini, prepare some drinks and snacks for them," Qiao Xiaren said, getting up and planning to grab some sleep herself. She only had a few days left to oversee the studio before heading back to M Country.

As Qiao Xiaren stepped outside, she was surprised to find that Yu Qianchu hadn’t gone back to the dorm to sleep.

He was standing alone on the rooftop, almost melting into the darkness of the night.

"What are you thinking about?" Qiao Xiaren walked over, stopping to stand beside him.

"I was thinking... you probably debuted the same way back then, didn’t you? You once asked me why I wanted to join the entertainment industry, and I gave you an honest answer. To be fair, can you tell me why you entered this field?"

He turned his head to look at her, seriously asking the question.

"Me?" Qiao Xiaren let out a light scoff. "The reason is simple. I want to conquer this industry again, conquer the entire entertainment world, and reclaim my glory."

She deliberately used the word "again." Strangely, Yu Qianchu didn’t seem puzzled by it; instead, he smiled and nodded. "You’ve already done it."

"Yes." Qiao Xiaren paused. "But the person I once dreamed of conquering this era with... still left in the end. Have I ever mentioned that you remind me of my friend, Chu Yifei?"
