Chapter 616: Chapter 616: Chu The Superstar

In front of Glory Entertainment Company, many men and women had gathered, all dressed in fashionable attire. They waited outside the company doors until someone came out and called a number, after which one person would enter with a hint of nervousness on their face.

"Wow... all these people are here to queue, aren’t they?" Chu Xiaoran exclaimed with her mouth agape in surprise.

Today was just an ordinary day, not any special occasion, yet so many people had come over. It was clear how popular Glory Entertainment Company was; its tremendous success was not without reason.

"Hahaha, don’t worry about them. Weren’t you invited by someone from the company? No matter how many people there are, you don’t need to queue,"

Xiao Zheng laughed.

In his eyes, Chu Xiaoran’s talent was exceptional, and she had already achieved something online and was actively discovered by the company. Naturally, she didn’t need to queue miserably like the regular folks.

"That’s true." Chu Xiaoran had a similar thought and, with a hint of pride in her heart, said promptly, "Let’s go in."

The three of them got out of the car and walked towards the company, but were stopped at the entrance by a security guard who said, "You’re here for the audition, right? You need to queue for the audition. Please go over there to get a number, and you can enter when your number is called,"

he said, pointing in a certain direction.

Ah Bai stepped forward and said to the security guard, "I think there might be a misunderstanding. We were personally invited by your supervisor, Li Yunan. I don’t think we should need to queue, could you contact him for me?"

Upon hearing this, the security guard laughed, "Even if you were personally invited by the supervisor, you still have to queue up and follow the procedure. That’s the rule here. If you don’t like it, you’re free to give up."

The security guard spoke very politely, but his words betrayed an extremely arrogant attitude. The subtext was clear: come if you want, leave if you don’t.

Xiao Zheng was instantly dissatisfied upon hearing this. He and Chu Xiaoran had come all this way with great effort, only to be told to queue! Was this company so overbearing?

If they had come for an audition on their own initiative, that would be one thing. But Chu Xiaoran was personally invited by a supervisor of Glory Entertainment Company!

This was clearly an abuse of power! The tyranny of the strong over the weak!

Xiao Zheng’s eyebrows showed a trace of anger, and he was about to lose his temper. However, at this moment, Ah Bai smiled, nodded to the security guard, and said, "Sorry, we weren’t aware of this rule. We’ll go and queue up."

After speaking, he took Xiao Zheng and Chu Xiaoran to one side.

Under these circumstances, Xiao Zheng couldn’t make a scene and allowed himself to be pulled to the corner by Ah Bai. He said with a gloomy face, "Why did you stop me just now?"

As an agent, reading situations was an essential skill. Ah Bai had already sensed Xiao Zheng’s impending anger and had thus pulled him aside.

Ah Bai replied with a wry smile, "There’s nothing to be done. Making a scene here will do no good and might even offend the company. If they get angry and decide to blacklist Xiao Ran, the consequences would be unimaginable."

"Hmph, I’m not afraid. I just won’t join then," Chu Xiaoran huffed, "If this place won’t have me, there are plenty of others that will!"

Chu Xiaoran also felt discontent. With her capabilities, she still had to queue up!

Ah Bai quickly said, "My Eldest Miss Chu, please don’t think like that. Although Glory Entertainment Company can be overbearing, they are truly skilled at promoting and supporting artists. They have an abundance of resources in their hands.

If you can get in, you could save a decade of struggle. Compared to that, what’s a little humiliation?"

After thinking for a moment, Chu Xiaoran eventually lowered her head, "You’re right, Ah Bai, it’s just a bit hard to swallow."

Ah Bai sighed, "No career path is without struggles. To reach the pinnacle of success, one must endure bitterness and hardship."

Hearing Ah Bai say this, Xiao Zheng gave him a second look. Someone who could speak such truths was not simple at all.

However, Xiao Zheng kept one thought to himself. Sometimes tolerating such humiliations isn’t necessarily the right thing to do.

...

Afterward, the three of them went to the spot indicated by the security guard, got a number, and started queuing obediently.

They waited from morning right through to the evening. As the number of people at the entrance of Glory Entertainment Company dwindled, there were only a few left.

The trio was beginning to feel anxious. They had thought that coming to the company would go smoothly, but it turned out to be a whole day spent queuing for nothing. This feeling was terrible.

It was at this moment that someone came out from the entrance of the company and shouted, "Number 359, please come in for your audition."

Upon hearing this, Ah Bai was immediately overjoyed and quickly responded, "Here, here!" After saying this, he pulled Chu Xiaoran and ran inside, with Xiao Zheng following behind them.

Guided by the caller, they soon arrived at a room where three judges sat behind a desk.

"Are you Chu Xiaoran?"

After Xiao Zheng and the others entered, the middle judge looked up, his face expressionless and rigid,

much like a strict class teacher.

Facing this situation, Chu Xiaoran felt a bit nervous, but having been through many major events, she was still able to perform well despite the slight anxiety and cheerfully said, "Yes, I am."

"Okay, your audition is over. Just fill out this form and you can leave. You’ll be notified after some time, make sure to keep your phone on," the judge said indifferently, tossing a form over.

Chu Xiaoran was a bit surprised, "Over?"

"Yes, weren’t you personally invited by Director Li? Naturally, you don’t have to audition like everyone else. Just fill out a form and go through the motions," another judge said with a smile.

"Oh, okay."

Chu Xiaoran nodded, stepped forward, filled out the form with neat handwriting, and then left the room following the judges’ indication.

Once outside the company, Chu Xiaoran was still somewhat in a daze and said, "That was so weird. To queue for so long just to fill out a form."

Ah Bai shook his head and said, "It’s easy to understand. It’s Glory Entertainment Company’s way of showing you who’s boss, a tactic for dealing with newcomers."
