Chapter 293: God Season

"Speed dating?!" Li Lei and Xia Ling exclaimed at the same time.

However, Xia Ling's voice was filled with pure shock while Li Lei's voice was quite alarmed.

"You can't let Xiao Ling participate in this sort of event." He quickly rebuked. Who was he kidding? How could he let his precious Xiao Ling have love affairs with other guys?

Lin Yunan said, "Which is why Xiao Ling left Skyart Entertainment?" He could not help but say that. This top manager was a keen observer and went straight to the point once he opened his mouth. It hurt others, but if he weren't so dictatorial, would Xiao Ling have left?

Li Lei felt that he was really incompatible with Lin Yunan.

On the other hand, Xia Ling was impatiently hearing their argument. She spoke, "Why do you want me to join a show with speed dating?"

Lin Yunan ignored the Big Boss that was filled with grievances and began to explain his reasons. "You've been praised by the public for more than a year since your debut, and your reputation is very good; even the most professional music critics can't find fault with you. However, if you want to be a Diva, it's not enough to just be proficient at singing. Your overall image has to be perfect."

He paused and gave the Big Boss a disdainful look. "Recently, your breakup with Li Lei has hurt your image very badly. Although you left Skyart Entertainment, which did a lot of public relations to salvage the situation and the trend of public opinion is gradually favoring you again, love affairs have to be solved with love. No matter how many times you are praised as dedicated and well mannered in public relations, they will never be as persuasive as a love affair..."

"Which is why you want me to take part in speed dating?" Xia Ling was able to keep up with his thoughts this time.

"Yes," replied Lin Yunan. "Before that, I have to ensure that you have no plans of getting back together with Li Lei. Well, at least not any plans for the next 8 months."

"Such a long time?!" Li Lei was about to go crazy. "No, I mean, Xiao Ling would never participate in speed dating! If you want to create a perfect romance, it's really easy! You can announce right now that we are back together!"

Lin Yunan looked at him as if asking how he became a Boss if he were this childish.

Although Xia Ling did not have any plans to get back together in the short run, she was curious about Lin Yunan's thoughts. "Exactly why can't we just directly say we are back together again? Why do I have to reject what is near at hand and seek what is far away by engaging in speed dating?" Even if ordinary people did not know, those who dabbled in the entertainment industry for a long time knew that 90% of what happened in these speed dating shows were fake. Those on-screen couples were usually manufactured by the producing and managerial companies to create hot topics.

How could it compare to the real thing that she and Li Lei had?

Lin Yunan looked condescendingly at them and tolerated his emotions as he explained to her. "As an ordinary celebrity, you getting together with a rich Big Boss will cause the public to think of many nasty things instinctively. However, if a good public relations team can handle it well, you can turn it into a Cinderella fairytale.

"However, you have already lost control of your romance.

"After announcing that you were together, Ye Xingling was driven out of your house in the middle of the night, and there was a high-profile breakup. Do you think that after such a series of chaotic events, the public would think highly of your romance if you reconciled after a short few months? Trust me, they won't think that your romance is difficult. Rather, they will think of what Ye Xingling did to seduce the Boss again.

"Or Li Lei might have had a secret transaction with her to lure her back into his arms. After all, the fact that your family refused to acknowledged her has left a deep impression on the public, and everyone thinks that you two are impossible as lovers. Even if you get together again, you will eventually fall apart."

"I'm serious about Xiao Ling." Li Lei lifted his head and said with a deep voice.

Lin Yunan snorted. "Saying that to me is useless. The important thing is that the public doesn't believe you, ok? Li Lei, the things you did in the past have severely hurt Xiao Ling's public image, especially her female charm. Someone who only had a short-lived love that ended in flames and had no other love affair is an unattractive female celebrity."

"So what if you sing well? Xiao Ling, no one will be attracted to you. Thus, you can't become a legend or a Diva."

That was the cold-blooded truth of the entertainment industry.

Xia Ling was speechless for a long time. After that, she lightly drew a breath. "As such, having a rumored romance is necessary?"

"Exactly." Lin Yunan snapped. "Nothing is more suitable than 'Extraordinary Risks.' This time, their main theme is matchmaking between males and females. To be exact, it is the 'God Season.' They invited three very popular male stars. More importantly, they have interacted with you before."

After he said that, Xia Ling suddenly became interested. "Who will be participating?"

"Zheng Chenhao, Rong Ping, and Bai Murong."

Sure enough, they were all old acquaintances.

"What a coincidence."

"Isn't it?" Lin Yunan slightly licked his lips. Only now did a truly euphoric smile appear on his lips. "Two singing kings and a king-status actor. No matter who you are paired with, your charm will increase exponentially."

"Are they all confirmed?"

"Zheng Chenhao and Rong Ping have already agreed. Bai Murong said that he would decide after seeing which female celebrities were going to participate."

"Bai Murong will agree." Li Lei interrupted.

"Oh?" Lin Yunan glanced at him. The person in front of him was Bai Murong's Big Boss, and he could determine Bai Murong's actions.

Without explaining much, Li Lei directly made Bai Murong's manager a call and told him to clear his schedule for this event. Well, Li Lei was selfish. If participating in this show meant that males were paired with females, he hoped that his own artiste would be there to monitor the scene to prevent his Xiao Ling from being stolen.

After he ended the call, Lin Yunan's expression softened and did not stare at Big Boss Li as coldly anymore. It seemed that Big Boss Li's visits were quite useful. He would treat him as an unqualified worker in the future...

Lin Yunan thought silently after using Big Boss Li effectively.

"Well then, the three male stars have been decided." Lin Yunan said. "As their statuses are too high, their payments are naturally high as well. The budget left for the female celebrities is not much. As such, they can't hire any top stars, and as they want to show the theme of a God bringing someone to take a risk, the producers intend to invite three female newcomers who have debuted within the last three years."

The pairing of a young female celebrity and a king status male celebrity was very refreshing to the public.

"However, why would any of these three male stars agree to do that?" Xia Ling asked about her inner doubts. The benefits of this variety show to the small female stars were very obvious. If they can pair up with the godly male stars and create a love affair, it would really boost their status.

However, what about those three kings of the singing and movie world? Wouldn't they be lowering their status by pairing up with female newcomers?
