Chapter 7: A Lifeline in Times of Crisis!
dong dong dong...
Chen Lin was on the phone and gestured for him to sit down and rest for a while.
Shen Mo walked into the office.
I was immediately drawn to the photos on the wall.
Caesar Boys!
Hydraulic-X!
7A boy group!
……
There were more than 30 people in total, including a boy group and a girl group.
In the very last corner, he finally saw the name of Miracle-Training Camp H.
There were no photos, only names, more than fifty in total.
Professionalism, expressiveness, fans, influence...
A series of seemingly impressive but actually unclear performance indicators.
His name is prominently displayed first.
"There's another one outside the rehearsal room; I'll take my time to look into it."
Chen Lin's voice came through.
"Sister Lin!"
Shen Mo immediately stood up.
One must be adept at navigating social interactions with superiors who hold the power of life and death over him.
Chen Lin waved her hand, gesturing for him to sit down.
"We'll temporarily arrange a room for you, and once the group is formed, we'll arrange rooms for everyone."
If I don't live up to expectations and don't make it into the final group.
As for dormitories, that's out of the question.
Shen Mo understood the other person's subtext but didn't ask any further questions.
This is reality.
"This is the dormitory key. Just sign the accommodation terms and conditions, and that's it."
Shen Mo glanced at it briefly.
Aside from the clauses that absolve the company of responsibility, there is also a monthly accommodation fee of 500.
You can't call it being ruthless, you can only say it's being unemotional.
I quickly signed the papers.
"Shenmo, there are only seven spots for Miracle-H to debut. You are currently ahead, but the newcomers are catching up very quickly. Don't slack off."
"Don't worry, Sister Lin!"
"I remember, you have six months left before graduation, right?"
"Yes!"
"Do a good job. Of this group, you're the one I have the most faith in."
"I definitely won't let Sister Lin down."
Shen Mo walked out of the office, instantly forgetting the pointless conversation he had just had.
The same words, who knows how many people they've said them to.
Fifty-four people, probably said fifty-four times.
I took a bus back to school at noon.
I went back to my dorm and packed my luggage.
The dormitory was empty; apart from his bunk, only another lower bunk with a bed remained.
The graduation season for boys is far more realistic and rational than for girls.
At the end of our junior year, the six of us in the dorm had a meal, chatted for a while, and then three of us went back to our hometowns, while one of us got an internship in Beijing.
When the new semester started, only he and Wang Yang returned to school to look for internships in the local area.
The original owner's attachment to the university dormitory was, in his view, merely a manifestation of his escapist mentality.
It's often said that university is a microcosm of society, but it's far from that.
To some extent, it still levels the social classes; rich kids and farm kids can still sleep in the same dormitory.
"Gone?"
As he passed the dormitory manager's office, the old man glanced at him and asked a question.
His facial expression remained completely unchanged.
"I'm gone."
Shen Mo smiled and responded.
There were no small talk or insincere pleasantries.
He was unremarkable during his university years; even the dormitory manager probably wouldn't know his name.
The company-arranged dormitory is in an apartment building next to the company.
*Crack!*
The apartment is small, a two-bedroom duplex.
"Sister, don't worry, I have to fulfill this request!"
"Sister, it's cold today. Did you drink the herbal tea I gave you last time? You're in meetings all the time, so you need to take good care of your throat."
"When I have time, all the work at the company is nothing compared to my sister..."
On the sofa, a shirtless handsome man was fixing his hair in front of the mirror while chatting on WeChat.
When he came in, she didn't greet him, but just spoke in a quieter voice.
Shen Mo entered the room and saw an empty bedroom. Without asking any questions, he moved his luggage in and started unpacking.
A moment later, the sound of a door closing came from outside.
The other person has left.
Shen Mo didn't pay any attention.
This is what society is like!
Where does all that sweet talk, love, and brotherhood come from?
Making money is the main goal.
While tidying up her small bedroom, she was thinking about what kind of tricks she should do tonight.
Fifty-four people!
The competition is already this fierce just to form a group.
This generation of netizens is so lucky...
Just then, the phone rang. I picked it up and frowned slightly.
"Zhejiang Province?"
……
the other side.
I woke up feeling dizzy and nauseous from last night's hangover.
Tu Jiaojiao cooked herself a bowl of plain noodles, which helped her regain some energy.
I checked the time and then did a beautiful makeup look on myself.
"I said it... but I can't do it... This kind of man... doesn't deserve to be liked by the fairy sister."
This sentence suddenly flashed into my mind.
Still feeling somewhat resentful, the corners of her mouth slowly relaxed into a smile.
I'm so beautiful, and I have such a great figure.
How blind must this guy be? He has such a beautiful woman at home, yet he doesn't love her and goes to cheat on her with some scheming, surgically enhanced woman?
Ah!
Tu Jiaojiao scoffed.
From this day forward, I'll only care about my body, not my heart!
After thinking it over, I opened Douyin and found my followed friends.
"Huh! That's a huge increase in followers? He must have already ended the stream."
Although she wasn't in the live streaming circle, she knew a little about it.
"They even updated the video!"
Then I clicked on it.
A fairly standard dance video.
She quickly noticed the difference.
"Such great progress in just one night?"
Artistic skills such as dance, painting, and vocal music are different from pure technical skills.
Each of these requires a significant amount of financial and time investment.
She has met quite a few celebrities and top livestreamers, and they are all like that.
While the dance in the video isn't particularly difficult, it's not something a complete dance novice could easily master.
"One minute on stage requires dozens of repetitions off stage."
"Being young is great!"
Tu Jiaojiao couldn't help but sigh.
Although she is not very old, after working in the workplace for a long time, there is always a sense that she is getting old and losing her looks.
Drop drop!
"@402 Is the most beautiful girl, Jiaojiao, there? Help! Help!"
"Um?"
Tu Jiaojiao opened the 402 girls' dormitory group chat and replied with a single word.
The person who tagged her was her college classmate and the eldest in her dormitory, Liu Qing.
A person of exceptional talent, beautiful appearance, foul mouth, and subconscious rebellious nature.
With a director father to back him up, he worked at Hunan TV for a year right after graduation, and then got involved in several TV series projects.
This year, I acted impulsively and started my own company, claiming it was to produce short dramas.
She made her old man furious.
"Do you know any handsome guys around Chengdu? Really handsome, preferably with some acting skills."
"Damn it! The actor I originally booked suddenly raised his price. I could accept a small increase, but he wanted a thousand right off the bat. He's really giving me attitude."
"You can roll around in the grass anytime, you know a lot of handsome guys, give me a stack of them from Chengdu."
Tu Jiaojiao was instantly furious.
Forget about cheating boyfriends and scumbags, forget about ex-boyfriends, go to hell!
"No, first explain to me what 'rolling in the grass anytime' means?"
"Another stack? Princess Qing, do you think everyone's like you, indulging in wine and women every day, with men feasting at night?"
(Kneels and prays) I was wrong! My mouth was foul!
"Jiaojiao, hurry up, I'm in a rush!"
"That bastard timed his refusal to see me, he knew I couldn't afford to lose. Damn it! I'll get through this and then kill him."
Even with Qing Gege acting like this, Tu Jiaojiao also put away her joking thoughts.
Can……
I'm not some real empress who can seduce hundreds of men every night, why are you in such a hurry? Where am I supposed to conjure up a handsome actor for you?
Turn on your phone.
"That won't work, I'm currently in Hengdian."
"This looks like it's on the Hulun Grassland!"
"This is in the southwest, a short drama? Forget it, I don't want to die yet."
"Um?"
I immediately opened the group chat.
"I don't know if he can act, but he's really handsome. Want to join?"
"want!"
"It doesn't matter if you can't act, as long as you're handsome, have a good physique, and are capable. I prefer ordinary people."
"Pah, pah, pah! I can train an amateur slowly."
