Chapter 141: Chapter 141: Milk Tea

After the award ceremony ended, Xinan officially entered her downtime, which gave her more time to manage her own company.

Previously, Xinan had recruited seven male trainees. She initially planned to have them debut as an idol boy group, but something unexpected happened along the way, leaving only four.

Xinan asked the four of them to come up with a performance within two days to showcase themselves, and then used their overall strength to select the center and the leader.

After discussions and evaluations with Ding Lan and others, it was ultimately decided that Jin Yan would take on the roles of both the leader and the center.

Because Jin Yan was outstanding in both looks and abilities, he was the perfect choice to be the leader, and the other three members also expressed their obedience to the decision.

Once the members were confirmed, it was time for them to practice dance and vocals, and Xinan entrusted Ding Lan with full responsibility for these matters.

Ding Lan had previously managed idol groups at her former company, so she had plenty of experience. In less than a week, she had developed a perfect plan.

From the dance practice schedule to the shooting of promotional videos, everything was meticulously organized.

Xinan had discussed with Ding Lan that if they were going to run an entertainment company, they wanted to be the best.

Therefore, both Xinan and Ding Lan had very high expectations for these newcomers to the company.

"If you can’t handle the hardship, you should leave early." That was also why the boy group had shrunk from seven to the current four members.

Then Ding Lan enrolled them in etiquette classes because they were going to live under the spotlight, and as qualified idols, they had to maintain the best demeanor at all times.

During this period, Ding Lan was at work from dawn till dusk, and even rented a house near the company to supervise them better.

Since Xinan was busy with work, she couldn’t urge them on like Ding Lan did, but she still visited every one or two days to check on everyone’s condition.

When Xinan learned that Ding Lan had moved, she paid her rent at the end of the month, depositing it into her account as a part of her salary, as rent in Jing City was quite expensive.

At the end of the month, when Ding Lan saw the extra amount in her account, she helplessly shook her head, then knocked on the door of Xinan’s office.

"Come in." Xinan was at that time watching the company’s newly shot promotional video.

Ding Lan entered the door, dressed in white business attire and wearing light makeup, looking both professional and spirited.

Ding Lan tapped lightly on Xinan’s desk, "Why is there an extra amount of money in my paycheck?"

Xinan looked up at her, "I heard you’ve rented a place near the company, so that’s your housing allowance."

The so-called housing allowance was in fact more than the cost of her rent.

Ding Lan said, "I’ve been an agent for many years and have some savings. I don’t need any allowances."

After all, with so many employees in the company, it seemed unfair that she was the only one receiving a housing allowance.

Xinan held her hand, "It’s fine, you deserve it, and the others won’t have any issue with it."

"You..." Ding Lan said with a wry smile.

"Oh, by the way," Xinan suddenly remembered something, put down the tablet in her hand, and looked at Ding Lan, "How are Jin Yan and the others doing with their practice recently?"

"Don’t worry, they’re all working hard. If nothing unexpected happens, they’ll be ready to debut at the beginning of next year."

"That’s good."

"In a few days, I’m planning to have them perform at Luofu Square to boost their courage," Ding Lan told Xinan.

The foot traffic at Luofu Square was indeed vast, making it a good place to shore up their courage.

Xinan nodded, "Okay, I think it’s a good idea for them to try, and it’ll also help build their popularity."

"Alright, I’ll arrange it as soon as possible."

"Uh-huh."

After Ding Lan left, Xinan went to the company’s dance studio. Through the glass window, she saw the boys training inside, looking very professional.

Xinan stood at the door and did not go forward to disturb their training, afraid of holding them back.

But they still noticed Xinan, and after training, they all came over to greet her, "Sister Xinan!"

"You continue with your practice; I just came to watch."

"There are seats inside, come and sit," Jin Yan invited her.

But Xinan waved her hand, "No need, I’ll leave in a moment. I have some things to take care of tonight."

"Oh, right."

Xinan nodded and said to them, "Show me the new dance you’ve been practicing lately. Let me give it a check."

"No problem," Jin Yan replied with a confident smile.

"Everyone ready, begin!" At Jin Yan’s command, they all struck various poses simultaneously.

The music then started, and they all swayed their bodies to the beat. Xinan could see they were giving it their all. Their moves were sharp and decisive, with no signs of sluggishness.

It was clear; they were all truly dedicated to their dance practice.

Their dance was cool and attractive, and combined with their handsome looks, they’d certainly draw a large following of fans if they debuted.

Xinan nodded with satisfaction and applauded as the music stopped, "Well done, you all were amazing."

"Thank you for the compliments, Sister Xinan," Jin Yan replied first.

The others echoed, "Thank you, Sister Xinan. We’ll definitely work even harder."

"Good, with that promise, I’m reassured," Xinan responded with a smile: "Keep on practicing hard; I won’t disturb you any longer."

"Sure, goodbye Sister Xinan."

After bidding them farewell, Xinan turned and left the dance studio, but just then, a voice suddenly called out from behind, "Sister Xinan."

Xinan turned her head and saw Jin Yan jogging over.

After practicing dance all day, his bangs were soaked with sweat, and his forehead was dotted with beads of sweat, his eyes slightly weary but still very bright.

Xinan stopped and waited for him to approach, then asked, "What is it? Is there something else?"

Jin Yan stood in front of Xinan, his gaze fixed intently on her, "We accidentally ordered one extra milk tea. If you don’t mind, please take it."

He held out the milk tea in his hand towards Xinan.

Xinan looked at his youthful face, then at the milk tea in his hand, and with a smile, she accepted, "Alright, thanks."

"No need to thank me," Jin Yan said with a wry smile.

"Alright then, you should go back. Drink less milk tea in the future; it can make you gain weight, and right now, you need to maintain your figure," Xinan advised.

"Okay."

Xinan didn’t say much more, taking the milk tea and walking away.

What she didn’t know was that the young man kept watching her until she was out of sight before slowly heading back to the dance studio.

When his teammates saw Jin Yan return, one of them asked, "Should I order you another milk tea?"

Jin Yan shook his head, "No need."
