Due to the man's sudden disappearance, they all decided to end the meeting.

"Well then everyone, will end it here... We'll contact you soon for our first shoot." Producer Qin Hao announced as they all greeted each other farewell.

Huang Ming approached the girl as he handed her a bag, "Li Zi, this is for you..."

"What is it?" she wondered as she took out what was inside the bag.

"I didn't get you anything last time for your birthday, I hope you like it..." Huang Ming explained, with such a fl.u.s.tered expression as he averted his gaze from the girl.

As the girl pulled out the box and opened it. It surprised her to see the beautiful, well-crafted jade necklace which was in a teardrop shape. Seeing the necklace reminded her of the present Yun Shen gave her for her birthday as well. Seeing the necklace cause her to lost balance and suddenly felt light-headed.

"Li Zi, are you alright?" Huang Ming concernly asked as he caught the girl in his arm.

"Sis Li Zi, is something wrong? You look dead pale?" Liying asked as she and w.a.n.g Ji went to check on the girl seeing her almost collapse.

The woman was in such a dilemma, she didn't know what to say. Seeing everyone was concerned about her, she grabbed hold of Huang Ming arms and pulled herself together.

"I'm fine, maybe I'm just hungry... It's almost lunch."

No one questions her further since it was indeed almost lunch, they can understand why the girl suddenly lost her balance.

Whilst everyone was talking to each other where they should head for lunch. The young girl was left to suffer all on her own.

'Why... I need to pull myself together, I can't let this affect my career right now. I promise Bro w.a.n.g nothing will affect my career.'

"Li Zi, why don't we all have lunch together." Huang Ming suggested as he asked the girl's opinion. 

"Really?" Liying asked, so eager to go to lunch with the man.

"Sure, you all can come... It'll be my treat." He smiled as he looked at the girl who still hasn't spoken a word.

Seeing how excited Liying was and w.a.n.g Ji was not against it, she nodded her head and answered, "Sure, thank you Bro Ming."

In the end, some of the production crew of decided to tag along as they went to a nearby restaurant.

As everyone enjoyed the delicious food, it surprised those who knew the girl very well to see her hardly touching her food.

"Sis Li Zi, is something wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Liying wondered.

w.a.n.g Ji got up from his seat and placed his hand on the girl's forehead to check on her, "You don't have a fever, are you feeling any kind of pain?"

"Li Zi, do you wish to eat something else?" Huang Ming asked, seeing the girl hardly touched her food. 

Elizabeth shook her head and smiled, "I'm fine, I'm just wondering what type of sauce they used to make this. Its really tasty."

Liying chuckled hearing the reason to why she hasn't touched her food, "Oh, Sis Li Zi..."

w.a.n.g Ji also smiled in relief and retreated seeing the girl was fine, as usual, they didn't bother her since they all know she was a good cook, "Why don't you ask them?"

"Would you like me to ask them?" Huang Ming asked.

"No need, if I continued eating this sooner or later I'll be able to find out how they made this." 

Since the girl was known to have very sensitive taste buds and can detect the different ingredients used in the food.

"Miss Li Zi, are you a good cook?"

"If you are that's a big advantage."

The production crew spoke as they told stories of the previous episodes.

"I'm lucky then, to have Li Zi as my partner." Huang Ming said, seeing there is a possibility they'll be cooking their own food. Just the thought of it excites the man as his face turned red which everyone notice but kept to themselves.

After they all thank Huang Ming for the splendid lunch, they all went on their separate ways.

Elizabeth as well went on her own way, leaving w.a.n.g Ji to take Liying home. She was walking down the street when she heard her phone suddenly rang.

"h.e.l.lo?"

"Sis Li Zi, I'm sorry to bother you, but can I ask for your help?" The person on the other end asked sounding all gloomy.

"Lu Han, what's wrong? And yeah..." She replied, curious as to why the boy sounded so strange.

Lu Han didn't hesitate and bluntly responded, "Sis Li Zi can you please go to Producer Ma's studio, I'm here right now."

"Sure I can, but it'll probably take me at least half and hour or so since I didn't bring my car." She answered checking her surroundings and her current whereabouts.

"No worries, we'll be waiting for you... Thank you Sis Li Zi."

The young girl was surprised when the call suddenly ended, she wonders what problems could they be facing.

When she arrived at the company, she notices Producer Ma, Lu Han, and his manager, as well as a few of the staff last time all waiting for her outside.

"Here you go uncle, keep the change." 

She handed the money to the driver as the door was opened from the outside.

"Sis Li Zi," Lu Han said, who opened the door with teary eyes.

Before she got out of the car, she took a deep breath, realizing she'll be stepping into battle. She slid herself out of the taxi and greeted all of them.

"Everyone, it's good to see you again. Lu Han, what seems to be the problem?"

"Sis Li Zi, please help me... I have no one else to run to but you." Lu Han didn't hold back and embrace the woman as tears rolled down his face.

Elizabeth was taken aback seeing the young man crying, she wondered how bad the problem was that he'll even cry in front of everyone.

"Miss Li Zi, please help us..." Producer Ma approached the girl with such a desperate expression.

"Well, I'll try, but can I please know what's wrong first? Also, can we go inside... It's quite hot out here..."

In the same studio they recorded last time, everyone settled down as Producer Ma explained the situation.

It surprised Elizabeth that such a problem arose for them and the worst part was the compet.i.tion was their own company.

"So let me get this straight... There's a for new young idols. At the same time, this concert will also be a compet.i.tion to see who is the best young idol. Your company idol was supposed to be Lu Han but your older brother signed another idol for it. Am I on point with everything?"

Everyone just nodded their head obediently

"At the same time, there's a duet compet.i.tion as well. Lu Han was supposed to be grouped with another female idol, but decided to work with the other idol your company signed with. Is that right?"

Again, they only nodded...

"Since Lu Han has released no other duet song with another idol, you wish for me to sing with him during the compet.i.tion since I sang a song with him?"

"Miss Li Zi we're all very sorry to trouble you. We know you don't wish to be an idol and all… But your Lu Han's last hope." Producer Ma pleaded and added, "If only my brother was not greedy for father's approval."

"Don't worry, I understand..." Elizabeth replied.

Of course, she knows what the business world is all about. Greediness and arrogance... These are the characters of an ambitious person. Just to reach their personal goal in life, they'll do anything even if it means ruining someone else's life.

"So, when is this compet.i.tion?"

Everyone hesitates to answer her. Lu Han took the courage and face the girl.

"It's in two days time..."

The girl felt like fainting, what a horrible situation they all have been put in. At the same time, she has joined in as well.

"So what do we need to do?"

"Well... We need to make a music video for the song you and Lu Han sang since it will be shown on the screen while you two perform on stage. And lastly, just practice..." Producer Ma explained.

"No problem will make the video tomorrow... Do the ch.o.r.eography for the performance now. I'll just go home and get my stuff." Elizabeth suggested as she grabs her things. 

Hearing the words that came out of the girl's mouth shock everyone, soon they were all screaming and some were all in tears.

Lu Han runs to the girl's side and grabs both her hands, "Sis Li Zi are you really doing it?"

"Well, do I even have a choice... Ain't I your last resort."

Producer Ma also went to the girl with grat.i.tude written all over his face. "I promise to treat you to an all you can eat buffet again Miss Li Zi."

Elizabeth got up and face everyone with a big smile, "I'll be looking forward to that Producer Ma."
