Another candidate said, “It’s her. Her family is good, her face is beautiful, I even heard that she sings as well as Li Bingyu. With her talent, she’ll have no problem passing the selection test.”
“She won’t just pass it easily,” another candidate said. “I think this year’s chief is none other than her.”
“Chief?” Xia Ling asked curiously.
The candidates looked at each other and wondered where this awkward and unsophisticated girl had come from. How could she not have any knowledge when she was here for the test?
“You won’t understand even if I tell you.” They ignored Xia Ling. This little girl was so beautiful that they felt deeply threatened, yet her “simple” dressing made them look down on her with disdain. They didn’t want to be associated with her.
“Why can’t I understand?” Xia Ling was anxious. She glared at them. “Don’t belittle me!”
Her voice was a little loud, and Teacher Chen’s annoyed gaze swept over to her.
A few of the children fell silent.
“Okay, okay, I’ll tell you.” Once Teacher Chen’s gaze moved away, a girl glared at Xia Ling fiercely and said in a low voice reluctantly, “But you have to promise us not to raise your voice again, or everyone will be disqualified. We’ll get revenge on you!”
“Yes, yes!” Several other candidates echoed.
Xia Ling remembered the severity of the situation and said quickly, “I’m sorry, I won’t raise my voice again.”
The candidates were satisfied and explained to her half-heartedly, “In the Imperial Entertainment Training Camp, there’s a head chief every year who is the face of the entire batch. Every school year’s chief is the best candidate for the final exam. And for the first-years that just entered, the chief is selected from the first-place trainee among the candidates.”
“You think Li Bingman will be first?” Xia Ling understood.
“Of course. Who else could it be besides her? She’s Li Bingyu’s sister!” Someone signed in disappointment. “It really is so unlucky to be in the same batch as her. Otherwise, everyone in this year could fight for the chief position.”
The others agreed.
It was said that the Imperial Entertainment Training Camp always emphasized on cultivating the chief. From the first grade, they would get various resources to develop her. Several Queens from the Training Camp had been the chiefs of their year. The competition in the entertainment industry was very cruel. Even before these children stepped into the training camp, they had already begun fighting for life and death.
Xia Ling only thought that being the chief was just an honor. She didn’t understand the complexity of things. Of course, there was nobody to remind her either. Who would be so kind as to give intel to a competitor?
Everyone rested and waited for their turn.
“Come and verify your numbers.” Teacher Chen took a pen and paper and started checking the candidates’ information. “A3695, Wang Guizhi, give me your ID card.”
“Yes!” A girl immediately came forward and handed her identity card over respectfully.
Teacher Chen took the ID card and verified the picture with the picture on her admission ticket and the real-life girl. She let her go and called for the next girl. “D9607, Qiu Yunli…”

The candidates went up to be verified one by one.
Teacher Chen continued to call, “S0001, Li Bingman.”
“S0001!” There was a commotion in the examination room. Many people looked at Li Bingman in surprise and admiration as she got up from her seat. “She’s exempted from the first few rounds! She’ll go straight to the finals!”
“Exempted from the first few rounds?” Xia Ling’s curiosity was piqued again. Having been interrupted by people just now, she had almost forgotten that she’d suspected herself of entering the wrong room. She’d thought how strange it was that she was in the finals room. Could it be that she was exempted just like Li Bingman?
The candidate next to her looked at her like she was a country bumpkin and said to her proudly, “You don’t know what it is again, right. For the Imperial Entertainment Training Camp’s various trials, there are exemption places. As long as you are good enough, you won’t have to go through the preliminary rounds and can go straight to the finals!”
“Really?” Xia Ling blinked and digested the new information. Was it that in Brother Pei’s eyes, she was good enough? But, but, she’d already told Brother Pei that she wanted to take the exam with her own strength. Brother Pei still exempted her from the preliminary rounds, boohoo…
She looked a little dejected.
The candidate next to her saw that she was not happy and thought she was ashamed. She couldn’t help but say, “Get over it, this place is very difficult to get, and the last batch did not even get it. Of course, there’s only Li Bingman here in this batch. Ordinary candidates like us shouldn’t be comparing ourselves with the Queen’s sister.”
While they were talking, Li Bingman had walked past them with an air of elegance. She brought a faint scent.
The candidate who had been speaking to Xia Ling hurriedly took two steps back to give way to Li Bingman. She even pulled Xia Ling, afraid that she would collide with Li Bingman. She was also afraid that she would fall into her bad side.
Li Bingyu was very satisfied with the humility of this candidate. Her lips curled into a smile.
However, Xia Ling was still ignorant and continued to say, “But I’ve not passed the preliminary test either.” In all honesty, she was really not trying to show off. She just hasn’t figured out whether she had been exempted or if she’d walked into the wrong room. If she’d gone to the wrong venue, she had to quickly find the correct examination room.
“Oh.” Her words were heard by Li Bingman, who couldn’t help but stop and look at Xia Ling. “Interesting. Who are you?” Her condescending gaze was very uncomforting.
Before Xia Ling had known that she was Li Bingyu’s sister, she had already felt dislike towards her. After hearing her speak in the same arrogant tone as her sister, she was even more disgusted. She retorted. “I won’t tell you.”
The people beside her were all scared senseless. They quickly stepped back and set up a boundary away from Xia Ling. This brat wanted to look for death and offend Li Bingman, then she shouldn’t implicate others.
“How could you talk like that to Miss Li Bingman!” A trainee reprimanded Xia Ling quickly, wanting to get on Li Bingman’s good books.
At this loud shouting, the whole room of candidates looked over.
Xia Ling was even more unhappy. “I talk like this, what’s wrong?”
Li Bingman looked at her. “You said you were exempted too?” Didn’t Sister tell her that she was the only one who had been exempted? This exemption took a lot of effort for her to get it! Impossible, this girl must only be talking shamelessly and lying. What qualifications did she even have to be exempted?
Xia Ling felt a little guilty. She still suspected that she had gone to the wrong examination room. But no matter what, she could not lose and refused to admit her mistake. “I’ve not passed the first two exams.”
Li Bingman frowned slightly but still maintained a good manner. “What’s your admission number?”
“Why should I tell you?” Xia Ling was heavily guarded against her.
Someone next to her interrupted. “Ha, guilty? The first letter of the admission number represents your test area. Only the exempted students have the first number S. We’ll know if you’ve been exempted just by seeing your admission number!”
