Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen

Chapter 123

On the third day after Eileen returned to the Capital, she got a call from Ophelia. Ophelia offered her a new opportunity for a variety show. When Eileen saw the screenshot of the project that was sent to her, she asked in surprise, “A talent show?”

Ophelia explained, “Your recent performance as a backup dancer for Colin has caused quite a stir online, so several talent shows have sent you invitations. However, we don’t intend for you to be a contestant. They want you to be a celebrity coach.”

Eileen was confused. “What’s a celebrity coach?”

Ophelia explained. “In this show, in addition to four coaches and one hundred contestants, three celebrities will be invited as celebrity coaches. Each celebrity coach. will represent a team. During the show, eliminated contestants can have the chance to join the celebrity coach’s team. During the stage performance, the recommended team will draw lots to challenge the advancing team. If they succeed, the members of the recommended team can return to the competition.”

“So, if someone gets eliminated, I can have her join my team, then help her challenge those who haven’t been eliminated, and if she succeeds, she can rejoin the competition?”

Eileen basically got it.

Ophelia responded, “That’s pretty much it. The job isn’t complicated, and you don’t have to do much. The production team will arrange dance and singing teachers to train them. You just need to give them encouragement at the right time.”

Eileen thought the job sounded pretty easy, so she asked, “What’s my pay per episode?”

Ophelia chuckled. “Knew you’d ask that. You’ll get eight grand per episode. Following the company’s and your distribution ratio, you’ll probably earn around fifty thousand after twelve episodes.”

“Fifty thousand!” Eileen quickly agreed. “Alright, I’m in!”

The talent show was called Shining Star. Eileen arrived at the recording site the day before the show was to be recorded. To maintain the mystery of the show, the production team didn’t let the stars meet in advance but wanted to capture their reactions when they first meet each other on the second day of recording.

Eileen asked with a smile, “So, among the coaches or celebrity coaches, are there people I know?”

The staff member nodded. “Definitely people you know.”

The next day, when Eileen entered the recording site, she found out that she knew one of the coaches – Hubery.

As Eileen walked past the coach seats, she saw Hubery looking at her in surprise. Obviously, he didn’t expect her to be there.
