Chapter 115 Inside Story
Violet stared at the girl for a while before barely recognizing her - this was the internet celebrity who had competed against her in a live streaming PK on the platform and lost. Her name was Layla Scott.
After losing to her that day, Layla was probably upset about losing to a newcomer and even sent her a private message calling her a bitch who only knew how to seduce people.
That was Violet's first live streaming PK. She had only done it on a whim when she was bored, but she never expected to encounter a streamer with such poor character. She was so angry that she decided never to stream again.
Layla was also a singer with over a million followers on the music platform, quite famous actually.
"A rookie who just started, where do you get the courage to audition for Infinity Entertainment Inc.?" Layla sneered repeatedly, "What a pipe dream, you don't even know your own abilities."
Isabella looked at this woman who appeared innocent on the surface but was full of sharp words, and narrowed her eyes slightly.
What is this thing?
Why is she cursing at people right off the bat?
Violet seemed to notice the confusion on Isabella's face and whispered, "She's Layla, the internet celebrity I told you about who sent me those nasty messages."
"It's her?" Isabella raised her eyebrows, glanced at Layla, and frowned slightly.
"Can't handle losing a PK so you resort to verbal attacks?" Isabella sneered, "Your manners seem to have been eaten by dogs."
"What did you say?" Layla didn't expect anyone would dare talk to her like that, and immediately got angry.
"I said you have no manners."
"You!"
Layla was about to call Violet a little bitch, but remembering this was Infinity Entertainment Inc., she held back. She just looked at Isabella with cold, angry eyes and said arrogantly, "People like you with no background and no resources actually think you can pass Infinity Entertainment Inc.'s audition?"
"Impossible."
"That's ridiculous. Are you not an ordinary person? Do you have superpowers? Since Infinity Entertainment Inc. gave my friend the chance to audition, there must be a reason."
Layla was about to argue back when several girls ran toward her.
"Layla, what are you doing here?"
"Come on, the audition is about to start, let's go up quickly."
Layla had no choice but to glare hard at Isabella and Violet, "I see you won't give up until you reach your goal. Well, we'll see. I'll be waiting to watch you make fools of yourselves."
With that, Layla left surrounded by a group of people.
"Layla, who were those two people you were talking to?"
"One of them is Violet, the new singer I told you about who just joined our platform. I really didn't expect her to come audition for Infinity Entertainment Inc. too."
That time she competed against Violet in a PK, she actually lost to her.
Violet's fans really were willing to spend money on her!
"Layla, there's no need to get angry with someone so clueless. How can she compare to you? Your uncle Gemma Scott is the head of the audition department. You're definitely getting into Infinity Entertainment Inc."
Hearing this, Layla immediately smiled proudly.
Gemma had just been promoted to head of the audition department last month, and he was the main person in charge of today's audition.
So getting into Infinity Entertainment Inc. was really easy for her.
Not like those nobodies who couldn't get into Infinity Entertainment Inc. no matter how hard they tried.
Thinking about Isabella and Violet's attitude, Layla was still angry, so she took out her phone and made a call.
"Gemma, there's someone named Violet auditioning today. She's my enemy..."
After hanging up, Layla smirked, "With just one word from me, I can make sure she never has anything to do with Infinity Entertainment Inc. for the rest of her life. She dared to offend me, she deserves it!"
The other girls all chimed in flatteringly, "That's right, she deserves it!"
"With such a powerful uncle, after you get into Infinity Entertainment Inc., you'll definitely rise quickly. Maybe you'll become the best singer soon."
Layla enjoyed hearing these words and felt much better.
"I'll have Gemma give you all high scores."
"That's great, thank you, Layla."
——
Isabella could only accompany Violet to the entrance of the audition venue. Since she wasn't qualified to participate, she couldn't go inside.
When the audition time arrived, the venue was cordoned off. The audition order was decided by drawing lots. Each person had about five minutes to perform in a room, and the interviewers would announce the results on the spot.
All Isabella could do was wait.
Inside the audition venue.
"Number thirty-three, Violet Cooper."
Hearing her name, Violet took a deep breath, got up from her seat, and walked into the room.
One person in charge and two interviewers all looked at her.
After Violet introduced herself briefly to the interviewers, one of them raised an eyebrow, "Your specialty is singing?"
Violet nodded.
"Good, then we'll test your singing skills." The interviewer thought for a moment and asked her, "You know Victoria Gonzalez, right?"
"Yes, she's my idol."
The interviewer smiled, "Since she's your idol, you must know all her songs. How about this - sing Victoria's 'Whispers in the Rain' a cappella on the spot, so we can understand your abilities. How's that?"
Victoria's "Whispers in the Rain" was the theme song of a recent TV drama. After the show aired, this song shot straight to number one on all major music platform charts - a typical case of the song being more popular than the show.
This wasn't the first time the interviewer had used this song as a test.
Before Violet, another singer had also been tested on Victoria's "Whispers in the Rain."
Because this song not only tested singing skills but also emotional expression. Victoria's songs were always like this - her voice was extremely infectious, and combined with the tragic ending of the TV drama, it could always bring people to tears.
Violet nodded, "No problem, I know this song."
Violet closed her eyes and quickly got into the right state.
The intro of this song was very light, soft and gentle, like wind passing by the ear. Her clear and soft voice somehow gave people a feeling of spring warmth, blooming flowers, and a gentle breeze.
As soon as Violet started singing, both interviewers' eyes flashed with amazement. They looked forward even more to the climax of the song, which was, after all, the main theme and the most important part.
At the song's climax, as the plot reached its conclusion, the girl's voice transitioned naturally. The overall tone became increasingly deep, tinged with despair, instantly reminding people of the tragic scene of the female lead's death in the TV drama.
And this was just a cappella.
When the song ended, the two interviewers came back to their senses - this was just a cappella!
One interviewer couldn't help but applaud, "Good! Very good! You captured the essence of this song!"
The other interviewer also couldn't help saying, "This girl sang it much better than the previous one."
The previous girl had also sung this song, but it was disappointing - her singing skills weren't good enough, and the emotion wasn't there either. It was very bland.
Both interviewers unanimously felt that Violet was promising talent and looked at Gemma, the main person in charge of this audition, "Gemma, what do you think..."
Gemma raised his eyes, very coldly, "Not qualified. Next."
