How can you ascend to heaven when you are a star?

Chapter 32 Love rival?

"Teacher Zhang, this is the acting classroom. Across from here is the dialogue classroom. Further ahead is the vocal music classroom..."

Xu Qingyu talked as he walked. Compared with his enthusiasm when they first met, he now seemed very casual. He just pointed at everyone and finished the introduction. He was even too lazy to open the classroom door.

The training department took up two floors, but I only took a few minutes to finish the tour. It felt like I had a stomachache and was in a hurry to find a toilet.

Only when they reached a dance studio did their pace begin to slow down.

"Director Xu, what are they doing?" Gao Yue, who had been silent all the way, suddenly spoke, looking at the girls sitting on the floor in the classroom through the glass wall.

They all looked to be around twenty years old, with slender figures and good-looking faces. They were gathered in groups of three or four, and it was difficult to hear what they were talking about.

Xu Qingyu feigned indifference, but a smile immediately broke out on her perfunctory face. "The company plans to launch a new girl group this year, and we're going to select four members from these twenty-six trainees. Don't underestimate these people. They've all stood out from tens of thousands of trainees to be here. There are both top students with professional training and national champions with extensive stage experience. Any one of them is capable of standing on their own."

"Really?" Gao Yue's eyes lit up and he pretended to be very interested.

"It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. Let's go in and take a look together." Xu Qingyu said enthusiastically.

The two of them sang in unison and walked into the classroom.

Zhang Wen followed behind, but his eyes never left the dance classroom.

There is no way to see it all, two eyes can’t see it all.

All kinds of eyes, all kinds of lips, all kinds of faces...

Various outfits, various styles, various temperaments...

It felt like I had accidentally walked into a PK competition among talented female anchors, and I was a little dazed for a moment.

How could this be considered a workplace? It was like his beloved second home.

At this moment, he actually had the idea of trying hard.

In the past, the only thing that could make him do this was money.

"Crack!"

Suddenly, the classroom door opened again and a man walked in from outside. His face lit up with joy when he saw Gao Yue, but when he saw Zhang Wen next to Gao Yue, his expression quickly turned cold again.

"Yueyue, I heard that you have a boyfriend? Is it true?" The man walked quickly to Gao Yue with an anxious and serious expression.

Behind him was a woman with a face like an internet celebrity, thin clothes and a graceful figure. After she came in, she stood by the door, looking like she was enjoying the show.

Gao Yue frowned and was about to explain, but suddenly remembered that the plan had not yet been implemented, so he said coldly: "Liu Heng, this matter has nothing to do with you. I am very busy now, please leave."

When Liu Heng heard this, his face suddenly became anxious. "Yueyue, how can this matter have nothing to do with me? We have known each other for four years, and I have been pursuing you for four years. You should understand my feelings for you."

Gao Yue's face immediately turned cold after hearing this, and she said in a cold tone, "Liu Heng, we are just colleagues. Just because you pursue me, do I have to agree to you? There are so many people pursuing me, do I have to divide myself into many parts? Also, feelings are my personal matter, and have nothing to do with work, nor with you."

"No, Yueyue..."

"Don't call me Yueyue, call me by my name, this is the company!"

"I……"

Liu Heng opened his mouth, but after seeing Gao Yue's angry look, he finally swallowed the rest of his words unwillingly.

However, this does not mean that he will leave with resentment.

Liu Heng turned to look at the man next to Gao Yue and asked pointedly, "Are you Gao Yue's boyfriend as rumored?"

Zhang Wen shook his head decisively.

Liu Heng was stunned when he saw it, and his momentum collapsed instantly.

No?

Didn't they say he looked like Hu Ge? Could it be that he's already gone?
Gao Yue secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that what she had just said in the stairwell, "The company prohibits office romances," had worked.

"Let me clarify something," Zhang Wen said. "Gao Yue and I are not a couple, and I'm not her boyfriend. She's the one pursuing me, and I haven't agreed yet. I'm still evaluating her."

"what?"

Liu Heng was completely stunned. His CPU was completely overwhelmed and he was as dumb as a dog. There was too much information to digest.

Gao Yue gritted his teeth, his face gloomy, his eyes like cold knives, as if he could kill.

"Oops!"

Zhang Wen belatedly covered his mouth with his hand, then asked cautiously, "Unrequited love shouldn't be considered an office romance, right?"

"..."

Gao Yue clenched his fists, wanting to beat the other person to death right here and there, so that he would never be able to recover.

This acting is so fake.

Liu Heng shook his head to calm himself down, then looked at the man with disdain and said, "Could you please stop being so sentimental? How could Gao Yue possibly pursue you?"

Zhang Wen sighed, reached out and patted the other person's shoulder, and said sympathetically: "I know this is hard for you to accept, but things that are hard to accept are often the truth. You have to recognize one thing: although you are not worthy of her, I am more than enough for her."

Liu Heng frowned, and a flash of anger appeared in his eyes.

Isn't this demeaning to him?

He glared at the other person fiercely and was about to curse when he suddenly saw the logo on his clothes. He regained his confidence and said with a sneer on his face, "Humph, stop feeling so good about yourself. Look at your clothes. Do they cost a thousand yuan? They're not even worth one of my shoes."

Zhang Wen blinked. "You mean to say that Gao Yue is a very materialistic woman in your heart?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Gao Yue's expression immediately turned cold.

Liu Heng's face flushed red, and he quickly defended himself, "I didn't say that. Don't slander me and make false accusations!"

Then he looked at Gao Yue beside him and said, "Yueyue, we have known each other for so long, you should understand what I mean."

Gao Yue didn't say anything, but his expression was visibly ugly.

Liu Heng was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, and his eyes were bloodshot.

"Liu Heng, please leave." Gao Yue directly ordered them to leave. She didn't want to listen to the two of them arguing any further, it was giving her a headache.

"Gao Yue, you, you actually drove me away for him, an outsider?" Liu Heng's face was full of disbelief, but the more the other party said so, the more he didn't want to leave.

"Let me correct you," Zhang Wen interrupted. "I'm here today to report for Tianxi Media, so for both public and private reasons, I'm not an outsider to her."

"what?"

Liu Heng opened his eyes wide in surprise, unable to believe what he heard.

He slowly turned to look at Gao Yue and asked in a trembling voice, "Is what she said true?"

Gao Yue was in such a bad mood that he was too lazy to explain, so he just nodded.

Although Liu Heng saw it, he still didn't want to believe it. He turned to look at Director Xu beside him, hoping that everything was fake. Xu Qingyu felt that Liu Heng was a bit unreasonable, so he said calmly, "Liu Heng, Teacher Zhang will be in our training department from now on, responsible for discovering and training new people. You may have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."

After saying that, he winked at the female artist Li Shanshan standing next to him, signaling her to quickly pull his agent away.

Li Shanshan was watching the show with great interest. When she caught Director Xu's eye, she could only reluctantly put the melon seeds in her pocket and said, "Brother Liu, didn't you agree to take me to meet an investor today? Let's go."

However, Liu Heng was completely unbalanced at this point, completely ignoring the artist's words. He simply threw his arm away and sarcastically said, "Director Xu, I don't want to work with such a bumpkin. He looks unprofessional. I advise you to be careful when choosing a person. There are too many scammers these days."

Xu Qingyu and Gao Yue were not alert, but nervous. They had spent so much effort just to expose the liar's disguise here. If Liu Heng alerted the liar, wouldn't all their plans be ruined?
The two looked cautiously at Zhang Wen next to them, and only breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that he was calm and didn't seem to have any intention of leaving.

"Liu Heng, stop talking nonsense." Xu Qingyu raised his eyebrows at the other party and told him to leave quickly.

"hehe."

Zhang Wen suddenly smiled and said slowly, "You just kept saying that I'm unprofessional, but you've been judging people by their clothes. You should be the unprofessional one."

Liu Heng laughed after hearing this. "I'm not professional? Why don't you ask who I am?"

Zhang Wen was slightly stunned and couldn't help but look at the other person again, with a little more suspicion in his heart.

Could it be that the other party is also protected by his great-grandfather?
Seeing that his rival was silent, Liu Heng thought that he was frightened by his aura. The smile on his face became even wider, and he began to recount his achievements over the years.

"I've been working as an artist agent for eight years and have worked with many artists. I'm recognized as a top agent by the company." He pointed to the female artist next to him. "Two years ago, she was just a small internet celebrity. Later, under my support, she has become a well-known actress."

There was a hint of disappointment in Zhang Wen's eyes. He thought he could see his great-grandfather sparring with others, but it turned out that he was overthinking.

"These only mean that you have the means, not that you are professional."

"Huh? Then tell me, what does it mean to be professional?" Liu Heng asked.

Zhang Wen glanced at the female artist beside him and said calmly, "She has very little muscle in her upper arms and lower abdomen, yet her shape is a hemispherical shape supported by muscle pads. The upper curve is full and protruding, and the amplitude of the vibration when she falls is less than half that of the fat-shaped one. It's obvious that there are pads inside... This is what we call professionalism."

"???"

Everyone's faces were filled with puzzlement, and they didn't understand at first, but the person involved reacted quickly, his face turned red, and he immediately pulled his open clothes inward and crossed his arms across his chest.

At this moment, everyone understood.

After Li Shanshan covered herself up, she glared at the man who had just spoken, as if asking: Are you polite?

She just wanted to eat a melon quietly, but she didn't expect that the watermelon would be eaten by herself.

"Okay, stop arguing!"

Gao Yue's face was gloomy and her tone was full of impatience. She just wanted to implement the plan as soon as possible.

Xu Qingyu understood Xiao Gao's hint and stopped paying attention to Liu Heng. She looked at Zhang Wen and said with a smile, "Teacher Zhang, I heard that you are very good at discovering talents. If you were to choose, which four of these twenty-plus trainees would you choose to debut in a group?"

Zhang Wen looked at Director Xu indifferently. The question seemed ordinary, but it revealed a test for him. Especially when he saw the smile hidden in the other's eyes, he smelled a different scent.

He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Gao Yue. The excitement in the other's eyes flashed away, and soon returned to his usual coldness, but he still caught the strangeness at that moment.

I see, this smells like conspiracy.

At this moment, he finally understood why the other party changed his usual doubts and suddenly enthusiastically invited him to join Tianxi Media.

Just like when I said I wanted to pursue him, it was all acting to achieve some unknown purpose.

"Since Director Xu has spoken, I will try to choose one." Zhang Wen raised the corners of his mouth, and a faint smile appeared on his lips with a hint of playfulness.

Liu Heng, who had come to his senses, also realized that Director Xu was testing the person recommended by Gao Yue, so he showed a gloating expression on his face, "Do you think you can get into the company by relying on Yueyue? Humph, Tianxi doesn't keep idle people."

Zhang Wen walked up to the trainees. Although the girls knew that the handsome guy in front of them could not determine their future, they still stood with their heads held high and chests puffed out, showing their most energetic side.

Gao Yue and Xu Qingyu looked at each other and the plan began.

In fact, these twenty or so girls are not all trainees. There are also employees from other departments who they have deliberately placed among them, including administration, assistants, public relations, and planning. They all have one thing in common, that is, they are beautiful, and their beauty is not inferior to that of the trainees.

This is the trap they carefully prepared.

Zhang Wen's eyes swept across the girls' faces one by one, and he soon found something wrong.

According to Director Xu, these girls are carefully selected trainees, but many of them have mediocre talents, some are even worse than his own students. How can such people stand out in the entertainment industry?
Regardless of whether Director Xu believed it or not, he didn't believe it anyway.

"you!"

Zhang Wen pointed at a tall girl standing in front of him and hooked his finger at her, "Come out."

The tall girl was stunned for a moment, then took a big step forward with a smile.

When Gao Yue saw this, she excitedly clutched the corner of her clothes to prevent herself from laughing.

The tall girl is called Zhou Sisi. She is the company’s accountant and not a trainee at all.

"You, come out."

Another girl was named.

There was a hint of pride in Gao Yue's eyes.

This girl is the receptionist.

Another wrong one.

"You, and you, both of you come out too."

Zhang Wen directly ordered two this time.

At this moment, Gao Yue could no longer hide the excitement in his eyes.

Wrong, all wrong!
Sure enough, this is a big liar.

She exchanged a glance with Xu Qingyu beside her, suggesting that it was time to expose the liar. She even imagined the liar kneeling on the ground, begging for mercy and crying bitterly.

It's cool to think about.

"Teacher Zhang, have you made your choice?" Xu Qingyu asked.

"Yeah." Zhang Wen nodded in confirmation.

"Sure?"

"Sure!"

Gao Yue finally couldn't hold back a smile on his face. He was about to announce the true identities of the four girls as a winner, but he heard the liar's voice again.

"It's confirmed that the four of them are eliminated."

"what?"
