How did this star become more popular after his scandal?

Chapter 227 Hugging a Student

Sister Wang looked at Song Yuqing, who was dressed neatly. This girl was indeed a little abnormal today. She had already gotten up and packed without her having to call her.

Song Yuqing looked calm, she had already packed up. Sister Wang also called the makeup team up, and they put on their makeup and went straight to the training camp for class.

The daily training content will also be filmed and edited into the main film, so you still have to dress up.

Because the students have to prepare for the next performance, they work extra hard in class and training.

Jiang Yu and his colleagues had open classes, which were open to all students. Private classes, on the other hand, were classes given by individual teachers to their own group of students.

Jiang Yu didn't have much to do this time when he came back. Apart from attending the rehearsal for the Spring Festival Gala, he basically had nothing to do. He just took classes with the students and watched their daily training. If there was anything he didn't understand, the students could ask him on the spot.

However, after today's class, Jiang Yu noticed something was amiss with Zhao Ying. She seemed distracted during class. It was already lunchtime, but she hadn't gone to the cafeteria with her roommates. She seemed to be preoccupied with something.

Could it be that something happened at home?

Zhao Ying had talked about her family situation before. Her mother was not in good health and had heart disease, and she wanted to make money for her mother's surgery.

"Zhao Ying, come to my lounge for a moment."

Jiang Yu called Zhao Ying, who was a little absent-minded. Seeing this, the other students were also a little confused. Why did Teacher Jiang Yu call Zhao Ying over alone?
Open a small stove?

what is this else?
However, other students also noticed that Zhao Ying seemed a little abnormal today. Perhaps Jiang Yu also noticed this and asked Zhao Ying to come over to ask about the situation.

Yang Zihan and Lin Feifei also saw this scene. Lin Feifei pulled Yang Zihan and whispered.

"Zi Han, why do you think Teacher Jiang Yu asked Zhao Ying to come over?"

Both of them are in Jiang Yu's group, so naturally the beauty is willing to play with the beauty. The two of them have a very good relationship in the training camp.

However, the two of them were a little curious when they saw this scene.

Yang Zihan glanced at Zhao Ying, who seemed a little abnormal, and said something in a low voice.

"Haven't you noticed something's wrong with Zhao Ying? I think Teacher Jiang Yu has noticed it too. Go ask her."

Yang Zihan knew that Teacher Jiang Yu seemed very optimistic about Zhao Ying, and even they all recognized Zhao Ying's ability. Her voice was truly excellent, and even she, who had a professional background, had to admit that.

Lin Feifei sighed: "Oh, I wish Teacher Jiang Yu could call me over alone and give me some special lessons."

……

In Jiang Yu's lounge, the production team thoughtfully prepared a separate lounge for each instructor. After all, when the instructors are tired from teaching, they can come to their own lounge to rest, without having to run back to the hotel to rest, which is troublesome.

Jiang Yu sat on the sofa, watching Zhao Ying, who had followed him into the room and stood stiffly before him. Dressed in the training camp uniform, Zhao Ying appeared thin, but she was perfectly curvaceous. Her pleated skirt, paired with her slim, fair legs, exposed to the elements. A hint of nervousness crossed her pretty face. She didn't know why Jiang Yu had called her in alone. She wondered if she'd been distracted in class today and had Jiang Yu noticed.
"Teacher Jiang Yu."

Jiang Yu nodded and said with a smile, "Sit down."

Zhao Ying sat opposite Jiang Yu stiffly, and Jiang Yu handed her a bottle of drink sponsored by his sponsor.

"Tell me, what happened today? You were fine when I saw your performance yesterday, but today you're clearly not in the right state."

Zhao Ying was sitting opposite Jiang Yu. When she heard her mentor's words, she suddenly felt nervous. She also knew that she was not in a good state today.

but……

She didn't say anything, but just lowered her head, full of apology and guilt.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang Yu. I will definitely adjust my condition this afternoon!"

Zhao Ying was very grateful to Teacher Jiang Yu for giving her the opportunity to stay, so when she heard Teacher Jiang Yu say this, Zhao Ying felt that her performance this morning had disappointed Teacher Jiang Yu.

However, Jiang Yu spoke softly, "There's no one else here. Tell me, is there something wrong at home?"

Hearing her mentor's words, especially those gentle ones, Zhao Ying's suppressed emotions seemed to burst forth at this moment. She had traveled thousands of miles to this unfamiliar city, knew no one, and faced a significant gap between herself and the other students. Coupled with her family background, she harbored a persistent sense of inferiority. Even the occasional expressions of concern from Lin Feifei and the others were something she couldn't accept, fearing she couldn't repay. They were so beautiful and well-off, while she was a Cinderella from the countryside, drawn to this stage for money, to pay for her mother's surgery.

It is said that being a big star can make a lot of money. Zhao Ying wanted to be a big star and make money so that she could treat her mother's illness and give her a better life.

For many days and nights after coming here, Zhao Ying found it difficult to adapt and always felt like she didn't fit in here.

But with Teacher Jiang Yu, especially during the first episode of the show, Teacher Jiang Yu gave her a chance and was very caring towards her on a daily basis, which made Zhao Ying feel warm in her heart.

She was already tense and worried about her mother's affairs. When she received the call last night, she hid in the bathroom and cried secretly without telling anyone.

Hearing Teacher Jiang Yu's gentle words, Zhao Ying seemed to be touched. Her heart suddenly trembled, and she could no longer suppress her emotions. She broke down. Her eyes instantly reddened, and her voice choked.

"Yesterday...last night, the hospital back home called me and said...that Mom's condition has worsened. If she doesn't have surgery, she might..."

really.

When Jiang Yu heard what Zhao Ying said, he realized that his previous guess was correct, that something had happened to her mother.

Looking at Zhao Ying sitting there with tears in her eyes, Jiang Yu handed her a tissue.

"So, because you can't come up with the surgery fee right away and you're worried about your mother?" Before Zhao Ying could even open her mouth, Jiang Yu said, "How about this? I can lend it to you first, but you have to compete well. When you become a big star and make a lot of money, you can pay me back. Okay?"

As soon as Jiang Yu finished speaking, Zhao Ying was stunned for a moment, as if she hadn't realized what was going on. After a moment's pause, she finally reacted. With a look of disbelief on her beautiful face, she looked at Teacher Jiang Yu, who was sitting across from her.

Her eyes were slightly red, with a hint of surprise and astonishment in her beautiful eyes, and then she slowly became a little excited.

"Really...really?"

Zhao Ying really needs this money. The hospital called last night and said that her mother's condition is very serious. If she doesn't have surgery, her life will be in danger.

From last night until now, her mind has been full of her mother's illness, and she is very anxious. She doesn't know what to do. They say that becoming a big star means making a lot of money, but now, she has not become a big star yet, nor has she made any money, and her mother can no longer wait.

Heart surgery is very expensive. In order to treat her mother, she has already used up all her family savings in the past two years. Now she really can't afford the surgery at all.

This time, participating in the program "Star of Tomorrow" was her only hope. But now, before she could wait until the end, before she could win the championship and become a big star, her mother's illness could not wait any longer.

She was very anxious and didn't know what to do. Should she withdraw from the competition?
But wouldn’t all this be in vain?
I won’t be able to get the money by then, and I won’t have the money for the surgery my mother needs.

It can be said that from last night until now, Zhao Ying has been feeling very uncomfortable, anxious, and a little at a loss, and has no idea what to do.

But now, these words from her teacher, Jiang Yu, were like a ray of light in her darkness, shining into her bleak life. Her beautiful eyes, with tears in them, looked hazy. Looking at her instructor, Jiang Yu, sitting across from her, Zhao Ying's heart trembled.

"Of course it's true, but you have to promise me that after you get the money for the surgery, you will treat your mother well, compete well, and strive to win the championship. At the very least, you must get a good ranking and have the opportunity to debut as a big star. Then you will pay me back."

To be honest, for Jiang Yu, the surgery fee was nothing. But he didn't say he would give it directly to Zhao Ying. Even though he knew her family was not well off, he didn't say he would give it directly to her. Instead, he said he would lend it to her, but she would have to pay it back.

Jiang Yu knew full well that there was no such thing as a free lunch, and that a girl like Zhao Ying, whose background was like hers, was inherently self-conscious and sensitive. If he gave it directly to her, Zhao Ying would think he was giving her alms, or even that he had ulterior motives.

Lending it to her and requiring her to pay it back is a better reason.

Jiang Yu was also very optimistic about Zhao Ying. She was a natural singer. Even if her professional skills weren't as good as those of the entertainment company trainees, she could make a living with her voice alone. Jiang Yu even thought that even if Zhao Ying didn't win the championship, she could still get a good ranking if she focused on the competition. When her popularity increased, she might be noticed by an entertainment company, like him.

Before Jiang Yu appeared on the show, he had planned to scout out some talented and promising newcomers to sign with his company. Now, he's the only artist in his company, and being both an artist and a boss is quite tiring.

A mature company must have other artists. Cultivating new talent is what Jiang Yu is currently doing. He signs new talent and then slowly trains them. Once these artists have become established, he can be a hands-off boss and just sit back and relax while others help him make money.

Zhao Ying was one of the artists Jiang Yu thought he could sign. Even if her vocal skills weren't as good as others, they could be developed through training. And it didn't matter if she couldn't compose; he'd have plenty of songs to go with her.

Most importantly, he felt that Zhao Ying needed this stage, not just because she needed money, but also because this stage could bring her exposure. Even if she signed with his company later and had some popularity, it would be easier to promote her.

Zhao Ying looked at her mentor with tears in her eyes, her eyes full of gratitude.

"Thank you...thank you, Teacher Jiang Yu. I will definitely pay you back and try my best in the competition so as not to let Teacher Jiang Yu down!"

Jiang Yu looked at Zhao Ying's tearful face. She was also beautiful, very graceful, and delicate, like the pitiful girl next door. Her beauty was subtle, unlike Yang Zihan and Lin Feifei, who were the kind that stunned everyone the moment they appeared.

At this moment, Jiang Yu looked at Zhao Ying and handed her a tissue, then spoke softly.

"Focus on the competition and don't think about anything else. Give me your account number later. I'll transfer the amount you need directly to you."

Jiang Yu slowly stood up and looked at Zhao Ying's shoulders which were twitching slightly due to crying. She looked so pitiful. Coupled with her beautiful face and weak body, she was the type that would easily make men want to protect her.

Jiang Yu just stood in front of Zhao Ying. Zhao Ying raised her head slightly and looked at her mentor with gratitude.

"Remember, any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem. Adjust your mindset and play well."

At that moment, Jiang Yu was like a ray of light in her dark life, shining on Zhao Ying and making her feel warm. It was as if all the emotions she had accumulated during that time burst forth at once. She kept telling herself not to cry, not in front of Teacher Jiang Yu, but she couldn't help herself, sobbing even harder.

Seeing this, Jiang Yu sighed softly, took a step forward, hesitated for a moment, and gently stretched out his hand. He was originally going to pat Zhao Ying's shoulder, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, Zhao Ying hugged Jiang Yu and spoke with a sob.

"Teacher Jiang Yu! Thank you! Thank you!"

She really didn't know what to say, and all she could say was "thank you".

Jiang Yu could also feel Zhao Ying's slightly trembling body in his arms. She cried so hard and had an emotional breakdown. She must have been under a lot of pressure and grievances during this period.

He hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand and gently hugged Zhao Ying's shoulders, speaking softly.

"It's okay, it's okay."

This girl was too strong and kept all her emotions hidden in her heart. But at this moment, facing the care and support from her mentor, no matter how strong a girl was, she was still only a 20-year-old girl after all, and her heart collapsed instantly.

Feeling the soft body of the girl in my arms, she was thin but not flat, thin where it should be thin and fat where it should be fat.

Holding her like this made Jiang Yu feel a little weird.

"Okay, sort out your emotions, adjust your state, and play your best."

"Ok!"
