Chapter 21 I didn't see any beautiful women!
"What?!"
Su Ze and Gu Dapeng sprang from their chairs and rushed towards Lin Le.
"You mean that stunningly beautiful woman on the forum?"
"Did she go to participate in the primary?"
Lin Le was so excited that he spat out words:
"Absolutely true!"
"Someone has already posted about this on the forum!"
"They said she sang an original song called 'Love You' and even danced!"
"The atmosphere exploded! The judges all wanted to poach the talent on the spot!"
"It's said to be so sweet it's cloying; everyone who's heard of it says they'd give their life for it!"
"Ugh! Why didn't I sign up to be in the audience?! I'm so angry!"
Lin Le beat his chest and stamped his feet, looking as if he had lost his beloved.
Su Ze was filled with remorse.
"Love You? And you can dance?"
"Damn it, I should have signed up to sing too! Even if I embarrassed myself on stage, at least I could catch a glimpse of my goddess backstage!"
"Third brother!"
Su Ze suddenly turned his head, staring intently at Jiang Bai, his eyes gleaming with lust:
"Weren't you there just now?"
"Did you see that?"
"Is she really that beautiful? Is she even prettier than in the photos?"
Jiang Bai was inwardly panicking, but on the surface he had to pretend to be completely clueless.
He scratched his head, blinking his innocent-looking big eyes:
"Huh? The goddess in the white dress?"
"No."
"I was ranked quite high, and I left right after my performance. I didn't see any pretty girls."
"They probably went on stage after I left."
We must sever all ties!
Absolutely cannot admit it!
Otherwise you'll be beaten to death!
Su Ze looked at him suspiciously: "Are you that unlucky? They just arrived after you left?"
"Maybe this is fate," Jiang Bai sighed, looking regretful. "I should have stayed longer."
"What a waste!"
Su Ze shook his head and picked up the face mask that had fallen to the ground:
"We didn't even see the third brother, that weirdo. Looks like we're really out of luck."
"Never mind, let's go to sleep. You can dream about anything."
After a few sighs, the group finally let the matter drop.
Jiang Bai secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately.
These roommates are a bit of a show-off, but they're easy to fool.
Just then.
My phone, which was on the table, vibrated.
Jiang Bai picked it up and took a look.
WeChat pop-up window.
Sender: [Old Zhang (Counselor)]
"Jiang Bai! Great news!"
"The department head just called me and raved about you!"
"They say your original song 'Love You' has great potential, your singing is excellent, and you're reliable even during typhoons!"
Congratulations! You've been officially selected for the freshman welcome party!
"Our performing arts department has finally met its match! I never imagined it!"
"Get ready, and bring glory to our class!"
Jiang Bai's lips twitched as he looked at the text on the screen.
Old Zhang, oh Old Zhang.
If you knew that the department head was praising that "sweet girl" in the white dress who swayed her slender waist, I wonder what you would think.
However, it's good that I was selected.
That million is like getting half the ticket to the game.
Jiang Bai thought for a moment and replied:
"Thank you, Teacher Zhang! I will try my best!"
Then, the conversation shifted.
"By the way, teacher, there's something I'd like to ask you for leave of absence."
"Please take leave for the 7th, 8th, and 9th, a total of three days?"
Since I'm going to audition, I definitely need to ask for leave.
Kyoto isn't too far from here, but it still takes half a day to go there and back.
In addition to the audition process, and other miscellaneous details.
We need at least a three-day holiday!
Of course, it wasn't because I wanted to avoid military training.
It wasn't because if I successfully auditioned and received the million-dollar reward, I'd want to stay a couple more days to cover expenses.
but.
If it weren't for the lack of money to go to Kyoto in advance, Jiang Bai would even ask for tomorrow's 6th holiday!
Of course, the reason I only asked for leave until the 9th was definitely not because the 10th was a Sunday, a day when there was no military training and I could rest!
Old Zhang replied to the message instantly:
"A request for leave? Three days off?"
"Jiang Bai, even though you were selected for the gala, you still have to participate in military training..."
Jiang Bai typed directly:
"Teacher, I'm going to audition."
"A film crew contacted me to audition for a role."
Lao Zhang:
"An audition? Which production crew?"
"We're only freshmen, so we should focus on the basics. There are a lot of scammers in those shady film crews out there, so don't get fooled."
Jiang Bai:
"It's the crew of 'Beauty's Rival in Palace'."
"The one directed by Yu Zheng."
On the other side of the phone.
Old Zhang, who was drinking tea in his office, saw this line of text and spat out a mouthful of tea directly onto the screen.
"puff--"
"Cough cough cough!"
Old Zhang stared wide-eyed, thinking his eyes were getting blurry.
"Beauty's Rival in Palace"?
Yu Zheng?
What a joke!
That's a huge project right now, with countless A-list celebrities eyeing it. Even outstanding juniors and seniors might not be able to get a bit part.
You're a freshman, only two days into your studies, and someone's asking you to audition?
"Jiang Bai, are you running a fever?"
"Do you know how big that group is?"
"Have you been scammed? Did they ask you to pay a deposit first?"
Jiang Bai had anticipated that Lao Zhang wouldn't believe him.
In fact, he wouldn't have believed it if the system hadn't issued the task.
Jiang Bai calmly sent over screenshots of the electronic invitation Xiao Liu had sent him, along with the chat history.
"Teacher, this is the casting director's job description and invitation letter."
"I didn't have to pay anything; I could just go to the film studio to audition. They even promised to reimburse my airfare."
"If they were scammers, they wouldn't rent out a studio at Kyoto Studios to fool me, would they?"
silence.
A long silence.
A full five minutes passed.
When Lao Zhang finally replied, his words conveyed his shock and existential unease.
"...Okay, I found it. The casting for 'Beauty's Rival in Palace' has indeed been there these past few days."
"Since it's true, then go ahead."
"This is a great opportunity. Although I don't know how you got invited, you must seize it."
"I've approved your leave request."
"Be careful, but also be prepared for anything, lest you be sold out and still be counting the money for the seller."
"Thank you, teacher!"
Jiang Bai sent a "I'm kneeling" emoji.
Get it!
I've got the leave slip and the audition slot.
Next.
The day after tomorrow, I'll go to Kyoto and stage a "magical transformation" in front of Yu Zheng.
Jiang Bai lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling.
Silently praying in my heart:
I hope that during the audition the day after tomorrow, he won't have to do anything too embarrassing.
Don't rehearse in a hotel...
For example... serving someone in bed or something like that.
"But even if it's about serving the emperor in bed... with my current stamina, it's not certain who will try!"
