Chapter 109 - Shortcut

nSystem Divine Nine: Host, I didn't expect you to use the prophet's function on something like this.
nLauren said,
"Hmph, since he dares to doubt me, then I'll make sure he doesn't get to eat meat!
"
nWith Lauren's prophecy and Franklin's active help, Lauren's bowl was filled to the top with all types of food. All the rice was covered with meat and vegetables.
n
"Franklin, I also want to eat meat.
" Quinn pitifully stretched the bowl to Franklin, trying to gain sympathy.
n
"If you want to eat meat, buy it yourself.
" Franklin replied coldly as he was still angry.
nJust when Lauren was feasting on her food, and Quinn had nothing much left to eat, a gust of wind suddenly blew at the door.
nMr. Hayes, who was eating, looked at the fluttering curtain and asked curiously,
"Why is the wind suddenly blowing?
"
nLauren chewed on her chicken drumstick as she beamed at the ghosts that were lining up at the entrance.
nShe raised her head and looked at the clock. The ghosts were very punctual. She had asked them to come back before seven o'clock, and they had really arrived just on time.
nThese ghosts were all affixed with talisman papers by Lauren. Moreover, after being suppressed by the soul storage device, the energy on their bodies had already weakened.
nRight now, they were just a bunch of ghosts that could only float around. Therefore, the energy of the Torres family did not affect them much.
nUnder George's leadership, they entered the soul storage device, which they were very familiar with, on their own accord.
nLauren looked at this group of well-trained ghosts with satisfaction. Then, she raised her eyes and accidentally met Franklin's gaze.
nOh no, Franklin's heavenly eye was not switched off! Luckily, Franklin did not get angry, nor did he make any noise.
nAfter a great feast, Lauren felt full and satisfied.
nLauren had nothing to do for the next two days. Her plan had to be put on hold as George did not receive any mission.
nOn the other hand, Quinn's situation was the exact opposite to Lauren.
nEver since Quinn's commercial was aired, his popularity had been rising. The incident at the previous event had also caused his popularity to skyrocket.
nIn just two to three days, Quinn had gained hundreds of thousands of followers on Instagram.
nHis agent, Pauline Walker, had also received many job offers for Quinn.
nQuinn woke up very early in the morning. Before the sun had even risen, he got into the car that his agent had arranged for him.
nPauline was indeed a dedicated agent. Her desk was already covered with all sorts of documents by the time Quinn arrived at her office. It looked like she had been working for quite some time.
n
"You're here? We're going to go through our schedule today. There are three movie auditions here. Do you have any interest in them?
"
n
"We're going to attend an event at the agency in the afternoon. I'll introduce you to some contacts from the same agency. We'll have more resources in the future if we get to know more people.
"
nQuinn nodded obediently.
nThe audition scripts for the three movies were placed on the table. He glanced at them. He had never seen the names of these directors before.
nHe frowned and flipped through them. The script was also very bad. They were all melodramatic plots, and the content of the three scripts was all about the growing up pain of youth.
nPauline was able to tell that Quinn was not interested.
n
"It can't be helped as you've just returned from overseas. Although you've gained exposure and fame, your foundation isn't stable. Also, you are still a greenhorn. So, getting a good script now will be quite impossible.
"
nA good movie script was hard to come by. If a newbie was chosen by a good director, he would be able to make a meteoric rise to fame.
n
"Let's wait. There'll be a chance since you are so good looking.
"
nQuinn nodded. Apart from waiting, there was no other way.
n
"However, if you don't seize this opportunity right in front of your eyes now, there won't be another opportunity after this.
"
nQuinn was confused when Pauline suddenly mentioned this.
nWhere did this opportunity come from?
n
"The movie industry is not as simple as you think. You can't just work hard. Sometimes, you have to take a shortcut.
"
nQuinn recalled the gossipy news he had read and subconsciously tightened his collar.
nPauline caught Quinn's movements and laughed.
"That's not what I meant. You don't have to sacrifice yourself.
"
n
"What do you mean then? What shortcuts are there?
"
nBy investing money?
nOf course, this was a good idea. Franklin was his brother and it was not impossible for him to bring in his brother to invest.
n
"Shortcuts are not something that can be found everywhere. You will know when you encounter them.
"
nQuinn was confused by Pauline's ambiguous comments.
nThey soon ended the conversation about 'shortcuts'. The two of them talked seriously about Quinn's future role and development path.
nGolden Star was the agency that Quinn signed on with, and it was the most famous agency in the country.
nGolden Star had produced many top-notched actors and actresses in movies and TV series. The number of artistes under its management was small, but the quality was excellent.
nEvery artiste there had a signature film.
