“The principal should know,” Ouyang Xue said. “How could I not tell him about such big news? He didn’t say anything after listening to it. So I’m suspecting... the matter that you were discussing earlier was probably not done by Li Bingman, but was Secretary Zhou’s request.”

“Such a strange request?”

“I don’t think Xia Ling even knows it?”

Ouyang Xue shrugged. “Who can understand the thoughts of the big people? Let me tell you...” She lowered her voice. “If this little girl’s backing is Secretary Zhou, it’s a good thing. But we all know who Secretary Zhou’s big boss is. If... if it’s him...”

Jiang Qin and Bao Xiuli looked at each other and suddenly thought of a possibility—

If the little girl’s backing was really Imperial Entertainment’s Big Boss Pei Ziheng and she was using Secretary Zhou to go through the motions, then, then whoever offended Xia Ling was dead!

“We promise not to leak this matter!” They shut their mouths tightly. Their lives were at stake!

Xia Ling dragged her large suitcase and lined up to claim her dormitory number. Many people from both behind and in front of her were secretly glancing over at her. Who told her to be the topic of discussion lately? Xia Ling could sense that she was being watched and did not seem to mind. Along with her outstanding beauty, she had long been used to being stared at by all kinds of people.

She hummed lightly to herself and waited for the queue to move patiently.

“You sing really well,” a little girl said behind her. “Hello, classmate Xia Ling. I heard you sing during the finals and it was so wonderful that I couldn’t forget it.”

Xia Ling turned and saw the girl standing behind her. She was about the same age as her, and she was looking at her with a shy smile. “Who are you?” she said to the girl. “Thank you for praising my singing.”

The girl was one of the minority who did not like to follow Li Bingman. She said to Xia Ling, “My name is Xiao Hua. Xia Ling, you’re very good at singing. It’s very infectious and I think you’ll definitely debut in the future!”

“Yes! I think so too!” Xia Ling loved to be praised. Her eyes shone brightly upon hearing the compliments. “Xiao Hua, you have good eyesight. Let me tell you, the appeal of music is actually very intriguing...”

The two girls started chatting in the queue.

The queue moved forward in an orderly manner and many freshmen who got their dormitory number checked against each other to see if they were in the same bedroom. Xiao Hua looked at them and said to Xia Ling, “I heard that this is a dormitory for six people. I don’t know who I’ll live with, but I hope I can meet a good roommate.”

Xia Ling was also looking forward to it. “It’ll be great if we could live together.”

“You don’t know?” Xiao Hua looked at her strangely.

“Know what?” Xia Ling asked blankly.

Xiao Hua said, “You’re the chief of this school year. The chiefs of the previous school years all had a single room and definitely won’t squeeze with me. I really envy you, there’s so much freedom in a single room.”

Xia Ling said, “Oh? I really didn’t know.” After she had won first place in the finals, she hadn’t cared much about the follow-up matters. During this time, apart from studying etiquette and decorating Pei Ziheng’s house, she had pondered over how she could make a unique iris bookmark for Brother Pei. Now that she heard she could live in a single room, she was very happy. “Yes, then I won’t bother others when I’m practicing singing and dancing.”

In the orphanage last time, many children had squeezed in a single dormitory. Xia Ling had to find another place to practice singing and dancing all the time. However, the orphanage didn’t have any rooms specifically used for music and she could only practice in the garden and the playground. She was often chased out by people... Back then her dream had been to live in an independent dormitory.

It had finally come true.

She dragged the luggage until it was finally her turn. The logistics teacher checked her student ID number and looked at her weirdly. “You’re Xia Ling? This year’s chief? The rooms in the Training Camp are full already and we can’t make a room for the new chief. You can attend day school.”

“Huh?”

“What?”

Not only Xia Ling was shocked, but many new students who had not heard of such a thing before were also very stunned. Were they mistaking something? Attend day school? Imperial Entertainment’s Training Camp was clearly a boarding system, since when have they allowed day school?

As if to answer their doubts, the logistics teacher said, “The rules say that our Training Camp doesn’t allow day school, but since you are the chief, in the absence of a separate single room, you can only be an exception.”

Xia Ling looked at Xiao Hua beside and thought about it before saying, “It’s okay, teacher, I can just squeeze with the other students. Let me live in an ordinary dormitory with Xiao Hua.”

“How could I do that?” The logistics teacher said. “You are the chief. How could the chief and the other students be mixed together? That’ll spoil the rules! What is the chief, the chief is a special case, a role model! Someone unique! Don’t say anything more, just go prepare for day school obediently. Day school isn’t wronging you, it’s a symbol of glory, understand?”

“Ah...?” Xia Ling was shocked and could not react in time.

Xiao Hua, on the other hand, was extremely envious. She whispered to Xia Ling, “Xiao Ling, don’t you know? There’s no precedence for day school in the whole history of the Training Camp. You’re really under special care to be allowed to attend day school. You’re so blessed to be able to avoid the unified military management. If this matter spreads, many people will be envious of you.”

Xia Ling seemed to understand a little. “Then let me go back and ask my parents.” She couldn’t make her own decision on such a big matter. Also, she didn’t really like attending day school. Although the villa wasn’t far from there, it still took an hour to go back and forth. If she was to waste one hour every day on the road, how many hours would she waste in a year? She had promised Brother Pei to become an exceptional artiste. If she could use the wasted time to practice, it’d be so much better.

She decided to go back and ask Brother Pei if he could get her to live on campus.

Seeing that she wanted to go back to ask her parents, the logistics teacher said with a stern face, “I hope you can communicate well with your parents and not hinder the decision of the Training Camp.”

Xia Ling didn’t like people talking to her like that. She felt a little discomfort but didn’t want to cause a scene, so she endured it. She had originally been happy to report to school, but in the end, things became like this. She left the place listlessly while dragging her luggage and went alone to handle the procedures for receiving her textbooks.

Her heart was heavy with troubles and she walked and walked until she was lost.

By the time she returned to her senses, she found that she was already in the female dormitory area and the new arrivals were all carrying their luggage and moving in. Not far away, a few gorgeously dressed girls were surrounding Li Bingman and chatting away. “Sister Bingman, which room is your dormitory? We can help you move your stuff.”

“Thank you,” Li Bingman said with an elegant and reserved smile. “It’s on the third floor, A001.”

“Oh!” Suddenly, a girl exclaimed in shock. “A001? I heard the dormitory auntie say that that is an independent room reserved for the freshman chief?!”
