Long Xiaoxi packed her luggage and headed to the modeling contest venue.

All the candidates were present, and there were more than ten of them, all of whom had to squeeze into a tiny room. Long Xiaoxi used a stage name when she signed up for the competition. Hence, no one would know her true identity since she was now known as Xuan Yin. She avoided luxury clothing and instead dressed in simple clothes from mainstream labels.

It was wintertime and, hence, they could stay warm while squeezing in the same room.

The rest of the contestants all had a pretty face to go along with their tall and slender figures. Needless to say, those were the qualities that allowed them the chance to land themselves a spot in the contest, especially since the contest was a live program that would be broadcast on television.

They gathered together to chat and gossip. However, Long Xiaoxi did not join in the conversation and instead listened quietly.

“I heard that they’ve already decided who the top three contestants are going to be and that those three all come from wealthy and powerful families, so we’d better not carry any hope for being the top three. It’d be good enough to get into the top ten.”

“Yeah, I heard about it too. I’m so envious of those who were born into wealthy and powerful families. What can we do even if we’re indignant and find it unfair?”

“Yeah, I even heard that the daughter of the municipal secretary has joined the contest.”

Everyone looked at the contestant and asked, “What’s her name?”

“Wen Yuechan.”

Long Xiaoxi was shocked to hear that name again after so many years. “I beg your pardon?”

“Wen Yuechan.”

Long Xiaoxi had a deep impression of Wen Yuechan, and she remembered her very clearly. I don’t remember her father being a political figure, she thought.

Why has she become the daughter of the municipal secretary?

“Is she his biological daughter?”

“How could that be? Don’t you read the news at all? Her mother married the municipal secretary. Although she’s only his stepdaughter, she’s still his daughter at the end of the day. That’s it. There are so many contestants, there’s no hope for us.”

Long Xiaoxi did not expect that at all. Wen Yuechan’s mother is a real piece of work. She was put behind bars for trying to kill me back then, and yet she actually married the municipal secretary.

She scurried toward the bathroom to call her mother. “She was initially sentenced to ten years of jail but it was said that she was released early because of her good behavior. However, I don’t believe that. I heard from your father that she was only allowed an early release because Wen Yuechan slept with many men and thought of ways to get her mother out of jail.”

“…”

Long Xiaoxi felt that Wen Yuechan was extremely pathetic.

However, everyone was destined to live a different life. In today’s society, some people are willing to be whores, some are willing to be foul-mouthed, and there were also some who are willing to be upright and stay true to their morals.

You cannot expect everyone to be an upright person. After all, there are all sorts of people in this world.

Having encountered many different types of people, she had already gotten used to humanity.

Shortly after, it was their turn to audition.

Due to the fact that it was an open audition, they did not have to wear any costumes. All they had to do was perform a catwalk in front of the judges.

After the audition, hundreds of contestants were eliminated.

Long Xiaoxi was the only one left in the room.

Hence, she was told to proceed to another waiting room.

There were six contestants in the room.

Long Xiaoxi entered and placed her suitcase beneath the bed, after which she sat down and started playing with her mobile phone.
