The CEO's Incredible Heiress

Chapter 23: Do I Have A Choice?

“I got 3!” Thank god!

“I got 3 too. Let’s team up!”

“Haha! I got 1. Who else drew the same lot?”

Everyone felt fortunate not to get the same number as Jennie. All of them sounded relieved and the atmosphere seemed good on screen.

“Little Flag, what number did you get?” asked someone softly.

Shen Qi closed her eyes as she opened her lot. The instant she saw that it was 2 from the corner of her eye, she looked disappointed.

She had strong self-restraint and did not ridicule Jennie, but she remained upset in her heart. However, she could not force Jennie to pick another team with the camera rolling.

She was in a dilemma.

“Little Flag, shall we team up?” asked Hua Xin. The guy was relieved that he drew number four. However, his joy did not last long when he realized that his team member was equally bad as Jennie. Hence, he promptly refused to team up with the contestant with the same lot.

Hua Xin was a pretty good singer with consistently strong results, so he was far more popular than Jennie and the contestant he had to team up with.

Shen Qi said, “It’s up to Little Stone.”

Hua Xin glanced at Jennie. “What say you?”

“I don’t mind.” Jennie seemed nonchalant and left them to team up.

Shen Qi was clearly relieved and quickly walked away with Hua Xin. She seemed worried that Jennie might change her mind.

Everyone else had formed teams, so only Jennie and another girl were left.

Her name was Irene Bae. Since she had drawn number four, she was supposed to team up with Hua Xin. However, Hua Xin was insistent, so Irene was forsaken.

Irene was very good at songwriting and only that. She got nervous whenever she went onstage.

It was understandable that Hua Xin did not want to work with her.

Jennie was aware that Irene was not an incompetent singer. Instead, her vocals were so good that they were recording quality.

She simply got anxious the moment she went on stage and had to face the audience.

Yu Guannan was powerless about her problem and had allowed her to perform whatever she could and kept his fingers crossed.

If masks were not used to shield her from the audience’s eyes, she probably would not have even made it past the top thirty. Hence, Irene was unconfident in nature. Despite her talent, she was too shy and introverted to speak.

In her previous life, she only ranked slightly better than Jennie. She ended up cultivating a career backstage and struggled for ages before she became a renowned producer and songwriter.

Irene did not give up on her even in Jennie’s worst moments in life. Although they barely knew each other through this competition, she even wrote a song for Jennie.

It was not just a song that Jennie needed at that time. Instead, she was on her last legs. She merely managed to survive a little longer after Irene gave her the song. However, Jennie felt forever indebted to her.

She touched her mask before she walked over to Irene and reached her hand out to say, “It seems we have to work together.”

“A-aren’t you worried that I would pull your results down?” stammered Irene a little when she raised her head to look at Jennie.

“Do I have a choice?” Jennie smiled.

Even though Jennie sounded powerless, Irene knew that Jennie was trying to save her from embarrassment.
