Fan Hui was dressed in a pure traditional Chinese outfit at the request of his elders. He looked like an elegant gentleman and was as gentle and refined as jade.

“Huh?”

Lu An was dumbfounded. So what if he hadn’t brought a gift? He didn’t owe her anything, so why would he do odd jobs for her?

On the other side, the group of big shots quickly understood. You little brat, who are you blaming for not preparing a gift yourself? He even made it sound like they hadn’t told him about it! Forget it; among their many disciples, he was the most outstanding. He was young and promising, and he looked especially upright. If he could persuade the little girl to study with them…

One after another, they quickly caught on to this plan. Before Lu An could say anything, they had already started backing up Fan Hui. “That’s right, let him stay and do odd jobs.”

“We didn’t know where you lived, so we could only come here. In order to make up for us affecting your work, you have to keep him here to do odd jobs for you!”

“That’s right, that’s right! He has to stay!”

The big shots were firm, and the person in question was very happy to do as told. Lu An was helpless. She couldn’t just say that she didn’t need him here, so he should hurry up and leave, right?

“Then, sorry to trouble you. If anything happens later, I’ll definitely ask for your help.”

Lu An tried her best to smile politely.

Fan Hui quickly nodded.

After sending these big shots away, Lu An was already about to get to work, when unexpectedly, a group of biologists came over, then surgeons, then lab scientists…

It was already noon by the time she finally sent all these big shots away.

Many of the actors who were still waiting outside the door were already complaining.

“What’s going on? Is this a reception?”

“If she’s so awesome, why does she still want to be a director? Can’t she just go with them and do research?”

“I really take my hat off to her. Time is tight to begin with. If there’s not enough time to practice, will she take responsibility if the performances tomorrow night aren’t good?”

Several people grumbled and were already about to explode with anger.

Suddenly, a dark voice rang out above their heads. “Then why were you in such a hurry to choose her? I heard that the other three directors have already decided the groupings and started practicing, but who knows, it might still not be too late for you if you join them now.”

The man’s voice was cool as he stared quietly in the direction of the girl.

The people on the side immediately fell silent, and weakly shuffled away from Ling Chuan.

Wasn’t it because they felt that she seemed very talented in evaluating people?

They hadn’t been selected after their last performances, and had come here to try their luck. If she picked them, maybe they could transform and hit it big.

Like Zhou Yi, who was publicly recognized as a weak crybaby. That short video from last week became popular, and they heard that the fans on his Weibo account had already increased by several million!

They blushed and waited obediently.

Very quickly, Lu An arranged for the actors to come in.

After last week’s performances, each team had 13 slots for advancement. Other than those who had been selected by the mentors on the spot, the remaining actors who hadn’t been selected could choose directors again. Directors would make the final choice based on the actors’ performances, but there could only be 13 people on each team.

Now, the other three directors had already selected their actors, who were divided into three groups of three and one group of four according to the four topics provided by the production team: slice of life, folk customs, olden romance, and an immortal sword fantasy. The director and related staff would draft the script for each group. As usual, the performances would be broadcast at 7pm tomorrow.

Right now, even Qi Yan’s team, which was the slowest, had already started drafting and preparing the scripts.
