They all sat in the spacious hall waiting for their addresser. Liling was not feeling too well today. She was just having a bad feeling about everything. Xin Yong had tried to cheer her up but nothing was working. She knew something was not right, but she couldn't really point it out.

They had spotted Richen in the hall, she was sitting with a group of other girls, probably her friends. She had this confident smile on her lips that said 'she was already selected' and Xin Yong felt like plucking out those silly eyes of hers.

Before long, a tall tanned skin lady on pencil skirt suit with high heels to match walked into the hall, followed by a man obviously her secretary or assistant. He was carrying a file on his arm as he walked after her diligently.

Her face was beaming with smiles as she climbed the podium.

”You all look dull today, hope it's just the weather right? ”

She joked and they all laughed, though with pounding hearts. Everyone in the hall, including her knew why they all appeared dull. Today would determine their fate in the Music Industry, either to be selected or told to leave.

”Alright, let's cut to the chase, before I call out the names, I'll have to say some words of encouragement to all of you seated here;

She paused for sometime, then continued.

”This is not the end of the world and this is not the only record label in China!, so don't give up on your vision if you weren't selected.

We can't take all of you but know that you all have the talent to make it for you to have come this far. For those who weren't selected, you'll be compensated handsomely for your time and efforts and for those who would be selected, get ready to work! ”

The beautiful Miss stopped talking for a while. She swept her gaze over everyone sitting there, then signaled the man who was carrying the file over.

He handed the file over to her and she carefully opened it.

Liling felt like dying. Her whole body was visibly shaking, like she was about to explode at any moment.

She held onto Xin Yong for support.

Before long, the woman started calling out the names of those who were selected; any name mentioned, the bearer of such would leap for joy and hug his or her friends.

The second name mentioned was Richen's. She didn't even show any sign of surprise. She just remained on her seat, her legs crossed, as though she was expecting it anyway.

The twelfth name was Xin Yong's. She hugged the life out of her friend as she screamed happily.

Liling's heart raced faster as the woman approached the end of the list and until the last name, Liling's name was not mentioned.

Liling felt her whole world stop that instant. She couldn't see or feel anyone around her. Her mind instantly went blank.

It took her a good five minutes for the realization to dawn on her. She felt stings of tears as she tried to focus on the woman standing infront of her.

”If your name was mentioned, Congratulations! Welcome to X-dynasty, there would be a welcome party for you guys, it'll be communicated in details later and then you'll sign your contract and get to work immediately. If you weren't selected;
