Magical Girl Heavy Dependence

Chapter 28, I've never felt happy being a trainee.

As darkness fell, Huiya sat in the company's van, wearing a coat.

The ice storage factory not far away was cordoned off, and the police lights of the city's Security Service were flashing continuously.

Surrounded by reporters, Cang Qing was being interviewed. Her confident and beautiful face gave people a real sense of security, making them want to trust her.

"Compared to her, a magical girl like her would be more suited to be an idol."

The raven lowered its head and silently stroked its raven feather wand. Its black feathers looked ashamed in front of the blue sky, like the tail of an ugly raven.

Cheng Chen was nowhere to be seen; Jiang Fei was by her side instead.

"Your producer was right, there's big news behind this." The mature woman's long, wine-red hair fluttered in the evening breeze, and even her faint smile was captivating. "He's as perceptive as ever; I knew this job was perfect for him."

Upon hearing this, Huiya slowly raised her eyes.

"Mr. President, are you very familiar with the producer?"

"I?"

Jiang Fei turned to her and smiled, deliberately asking, "What do you think our relationship is?"

Does this need to be said?

The raven lowered its head again, like a prince and princess born in a fairy tale, living in a completely different world from her, a mother goblin who only hides in a dark cave in the corner and only dares to peek out at the sky occasionally.

A hand was extended in front of him.

"Give."

Jiang Fei held up a chocolate bar. "Have something to eat first. You have an interview later. The specific questions and answers have been sent to your phone. Be prepared."

Huiya opened her eyes wide in surprise and blurted out, "Do I have to do an interview too?"

"certainly."

Jiang Fei patted her on the shoulder after she took the chocolate bar.

"These interviews are to reverse the direction of the discussion on the trending topic this morning. Our trainee 'Magical Girl Eja' discovered the criminal group on her own. The so-called 'forced intrusion' was to save a child in imminent danger."

"The next day, while the entire internet was condemning and denouncing them, Huiya was also quietly following the clues until he found the criminal group's lair and uprooted it completely."

She looked at the distant green as she spoke.

"It's a pity that she suddenly appeared. The credit for this will probably have to be split between the two of you, and the impact will be much lower than expected. Otherwise, the recognition and positive sentiment gained through the news might have allowed you to directly condense the complete 'Vessel of the Heart'."

Did Cheng Chen intend to help her like this from the very beginning?

The crow opened its small mouth slightly and shrank back in fear.

"But I didn't do anything."

Cheng Chen found the clues, and Cang Qing defeated the demon.

She just followed behind dumbly and was then beaten up by Secretary Ding.

"Weren't you the one who rescued Yin Yin in the first place? If it weren't for you, who knows how long these people would have stayed hidden under the association's nose before they gave themselves away."

Jiang Fei shook her head and said calmly to her:

"Don't underestimate yourself. As a future magical girl idol, you must always maintain confidence in your choices. If you lose confidence in yourself, how can you give hope to those who are always watching you and following in your footsteps?"

"I……"

I don't want to be an idol.

Huiya wanted to repeat this sentence again, but suddenly felt very tired and couldn't say anything.

"This matter can be considered perfectly resolved today." Jiang Fei stretched and squinted her eyes. "I have to thank your producer. If it weren't for him, I might have really abandoned you due to various pressures and watched helplessly as you were punished by the Association and those people from [Kaleidoscope Prison]."

The raven lowered its head.

"He begged me in his office, you may never see him like that... He begged me to give him another chance and promised to resolve this matter."

Jiang Fei continued, lying without batting an eye:

"He's always been like this. He pretends to be indifferent on the surface, but he's actually a good person who hides himself. I, on the other hand, seem very warm, but I'm actually a cold and cruel woman."

"Once he accepts the responsibility of being a producer, he won't give up on you so easily. Maybe you're already finding him a bit annoying, but I assure you, it'll only get more annoying in the future. Seeing him grinning or acting all high and mighty really makes you want to punch him."

The president really understands the producer.

Reflecting on my interactions with Cheng Chen today, he was just as Jiang Fei had described.

Although his expression was sometimes frightening, making people feel unapproachable, and at other times he was unreasonable and annoying, he was undoubtedly helping her, and he never showed the slightest impatience with her words, which he himself found distasteful.

Huiya twisted her fingers together, her mind filled with thoughts of Cheng Chen.

Jiang Fei was oblivious to the girl's thoughts, or perhaps she simply couldn't be bothered to pay attention. She just took out her phone, glanced at it, and sighed, "Another ton of work. After today's press conference, we'll start preparing for your debut promotions."

"Debut!?"

It's another chilling term.

For the umpteenth time, Huiya was at a loss, staring blankly at her.

"That's right."

While typing on her phone, Jiang Fei said, "After the marketing department hyped things up, this news will bring you a lot of attention. The company currently lacks suitable trainees to become idols, and bringing your producer on board is to solve this problem."

"It's obvious he chose you."

The crow remained silent.

After a brief pause, Jiang Fei continued casually, "The company will arrange the subsequent promotional activities. You just need to cooperate. Although I personally feel that you still lack a lot, your producer has made a guarantee. He said that you are a born idol and hopes that I can take advantage of this wave of popularity to immediately start the debut preparations for 'Magical Girl: Ejaculation'."

"But I never..."

"Oh, I have a phone call. Someone will call you when the interview starts. Bye."

Jiang Fei ignored her and walked away on her own.

Huiya stared blankly at her retreating figure.

"But I've never felt happy being a trainee."

Debut? Such a distant concept. The radiant idol standing on the stage has nothing to do with my reckless and disheveled self.

Perhaps it was the privilege of a vice president, or perhaps the company was genuinely facing difficulties, and he forcibly used company resources just to give her a push.

But she wasn't ready for anything—the stage, the performance, the fans' shouts, the spotlight and the attention of millions.

Huiya covered her face with her hands, her feelings complicated.

does it worth?

Is it really worth it for someone like me?

They've only known each other for a few days? And their interactions over those few days have certainly not been pleasant. What reason does he have to give her so much?

Like it?

With a charismatic woman like the CEO by his side, how could he possibly like a reckless and detestable ugly duckling?

Poor?

She didn't feel sorry for herself; on the contrary, her actions were more hateful.

Is she simply kind and innocent?

Even if she is kind, she's being too kind. The energy she put into her could have been used on other trainees who worked harder, and they would have done a better job. She doesn't deserve such treatment at all.

She wasn't some ugly duckling that would transform into a holy and beautiful creature, but rather a mother goblin hiding in a dark burrow.

If you dress up a goblin as a swan and throw it on stage, you'll get ridicule, not cheers.

In the end, we will definitely fail, waste resources, offend the association, and be killed as an evil demon.

Various thoughts kept popping into her mind. Suddenly, Huiya jumped up from the back seat of the van and clenched her fists.

"No, I need to see the producer and make him retract this idea."

He hurriedly jumped out of the car and looked around in the twilight, searching for the figure he longed to see.

To her left were reporters gathered together, and to her right were busy police officers from the Public Security Bureau. People walked by, and many eyes were fixed on her, but Huiya was completely unaware of any of this... Where did he go? What was he doing? Why did he suddenly disappear?

The girl clutched her chest, frantically searching, her fragile expression suggesting she was about to burst into tears.

Suddenly, she heard a familiar voice coming from not far behind her.

"Producer!"

The crow suddenly turned around and opened its eyes wide.

At the edge of the horizon, Cheng Chen stood side by side with the magical girl, Cang Qing, extending his hand to her with that unforgettable, radiant smile.

"Miss Cangqing, you are very talented. Would you be interested in debuting as an idol? I would love to be your producer."
