The following morning, the girls were summoned back to the agency. This time, it wasn't for discussions or offers—it was for introductions. The real beginning of their new lives.
Xu Yan stretched as they stepped out of the elevator. "I barely slept last night. I kept thinking—what if my stylist hates my taste? Or worse, what if they try to change me completely?"
Liu Wen chuckled. "Relax. If they do, just scare them off with your personality."
"I'm serious!" Xu Yan shot back, though she was already laughing. "I finally got popular. I don't want to lose myself in the process."
Mei Lin glanced at her calmly. "You won't. As long as you remember who you are, no one can rewrite you."
Lin Su nodded softly. "Exactly. This isn't about changing ourselves. It's about refining what's already there."
They were led into a large studio space this time, brighter and more open. Several people were already waiting inside, each standing neatly as the girls entered.
A coordinator stepped forward with a polite smile. "Good morning. Today, you'll be meeting your assigned teams—your personal assistants, stylists, and trainers. They'll be working closely with you from now on."
Xu Yan leaned closer to Liu Wen and whispered, "This feels like I'm being assigned a whole army."
Liu Wen whispered back, "Just don't start giving orders like a general."
Xu Yan grinned. "No promises."
The coordinator began the introductions. "For Xu Yan, your personal assistant will be Zhang Rui, your stylist Chen Lihua, and your fitness trainer Guo Mingze."
A young man with sharp features and glasses stepped forward. "Hello, I'm Zhang Rui. I'll handle your schedule and daily needs."
Xu Yan blinked, then smiled brightly. "Nice to meet you! Please don't schedule anything before 8 a.m. if you want me alive."
Zhang Rui paused, then nodded seriously. "Noted."
Her stylist, Chen Lihua, a fashionable woman with a confident aura, crossed her arms lightly. "I've reviewed your style. It's bold, but a bit… chaotic."
Xu Yan gasped. "Chaotic? That's called personality!"
Chen Lihua smirked. "Good. Then we'll refine your personality."
Her trainer, Guo Mingze, gave a small nod. "I'll help you maintain stamina. Filming won't get easier."
Xu Yan whispered, "I regret asking for a trainer already."
Next was Liu Wen. "Your team: assistant He Zixuan, stylist Lin Qiaoqiao, and vocal trainer Deng Yucheng."
He Zixuan smiled warmly. "I'll make sure your schedule runs smoothly."
Liu Wen returned the smile. "Please also remind me to eat. I forget when I'm busy."
Lin Qiaoqiao tilted her head, studying Liu Wen carefully. "You have a natural elegance. I won't change it—just enhance it."
Liu Wen nodded. "That's exactly what I was hoping for."
Deng Yucheng adjusted his glasses. "Your voice has potential. With training, it can become your strongest asset."
Liu Wen laughed softly. "Then I'll leave it in your hands."
Then came Mei Lin. "Your team: assistant Sun Yifan, stylist Zhou Meiqi, and fitness coach Han Jingshen."
Sun Yifan bowed slightly. "I'll ensure everything runs efficiently."
Mei Lin gave a calm nod. "Efficiency is all I ask for."
Zhou Meiqi smiled. "Your image is already strong. We'll polish it into something unforgettable."
Mei Lin's lips curved slightly. "I look forward to it."
Han Jingshen spoke briefly. "Discipline will be key."
Mei Lin met his gaze. "That won't be a problem."
Finally, Lin Su stepped forward.
"Your team: assistant Xu Jiarong, stylist Tang Wei'an, PR manager Feng Shiqi, and trainer Lu Chenxi."
Xu Jiarong smiled gently. "I'll be by your side for anything you need."
Lin Su nodded. "Thank you. I might rely on you more than I expect."
Tang Wei'an circled her slowly, observing. "You have a face cameras love. Soft, but striking. We won't overdo anything—simplicity will be your strength."
Lin Su felt slightly shy under the attention. "I trust your judgment."
Feng Shiqi stepped forward confidently. "Public image is everything. I'll help you navigate interviews, scandals, and media attention."
Lin Su blinked. "Scandals?"
Feng Shiqi smiled faintly. "It's not a matter of if. It's when."
Xu Yan whispered loudly from the side, "That's comforting."
Lu Chenxi, her trainer, gave a small nod. "You'll need endurance. Your schedule will only get heavier."
Lin Su exhaled softly. "Then I'll work hard."
Once introductions were over, the room felt less intimidating and more… alive. Conversations began to flow naturally. Xu Yan was already arguing playfully with her stylist, while Liu Wen discussed schedules with her assistant. Mei Lin stood calmly, listening to her team with quiet authority.
Lin Su watched it all, a soft smile forming. Just weeks ago, they were struggling actors with nothing but determination. Now, they had teams, structure, and a path ahead.
Xu Yan suddenly called out, "Lin Su! If I become super famous before you, don't forget me!"
Lin Su laughed. "You wish."
Liu Wen added, "We rise together, remember?"
Mei Lin nodded. "Always."
The tension from the previous day seemed to melt away, replaced by something steadier. A new rhythm.
As they stood there, surrounded by new faces and new beginnings, one thing became clear—this wasn't just about fame anymore. It was about growth, responsibility, and holding onto the bonds that brought them here in the first place.
And for the first time since stepping into the industry, everything felt… aligned.
