The black-haired man maintained a defiant smile as he watched the brunette. His dark eyes remained glued to the tall figure between him like two magnifying glasses which carefully verified every detail.

He admitted it, the young man in front of him was extremely attractive, he had a great bearing and if he talked about his face, the truth was he was quite striking and handsome. Even so, he did not believe that he could give him what he was looking for.

Since he started his project he had already defined the things he needed and wanted. Now it was he who would be in charge of carrying out and fulfilling his father's long- awaited dream.

14 years had passed since that fateful night in which he saw his father disappear forever in his arms and with him those dreams that he built and nurtured. He saw him live, breathe and dream for that desire, he witnessed his illusions and emotions, he also witnessed his fall and his defeat.

His father closed his eyes without even being able to see that the dream he had started with his mother would be realized.

Now it was his turn to continue with this dream and he would not stop until he made it a reality, for that reason every detail, thing and step had to be perfect. His greatest wish was that the day it was his turn to see his father's face again, he would be smiling brightly like he used to do.

For that reason Zhan was so demanding at that time, he didn't want just any dancer and although the ones that appeared before him could be considered the most professional and perfect, for him it was not enough.

Among the drawer of his memories he kept the images of his mother on stage. Some nights he would sit for hours repeating these images.

He saw her dance, float and slide like a beautiful fairy. His mother was perfect, unique and irreplaceable, yet, if he could at least find a dancer who was at least half as perfect as that fairy that made him dream so much, he would be more than satisfied.

- Well.- He raised his right eyebrow.- What are you waiting for?- He looked around.- You already have enough audience for your show.

- Do you think I'm going to be intimidated by that? - Yibo smiled defiantly. - Well, you're wrong... - He looked around a few times.

- Are you looking for something?

- Well, I thought it would be good if the owner of the show was present too. He's the one I'm supposed to convince.

- Child...- Shen Yue made a face.- Are you stupid? The owner of the show...

- You can be sure that in this place the only opinion that matters is mine. - Zhan interrupted her. - Show what you have and then we will see what the owner says.

- Okay...- He nodded.- Could you put this in?- He passed a USB memory to one of the boys.- The first folder, second track.

The young man glanced at Zhan who nodded in approval. Once he was allowed, he took the USB and approached the team, diligently preparing things while the brunette began to take off his jacket.

He was only left with his sleeveless shirt, revealing his long, white arms, which were slightly marked with each stretch he did.

Xiao Zhan couldn't help but smile wryly, he admitted that he liked the boy's determination even though at that moment he wouldn't achieve anything with it.

- Can I ask? - Yibo spoke again.

- Go ahead...- Zhan nodded.

- Would you mind if I sing?
