Volume 1 Chapter 57 Fox Tail 2

  "But... I still have to go to school!" Lin Junyun hesitated: "After the New Year, it's my senior year, I want to work harder and focus on studying."

  "If the audition goes through, I'll use my connections to help you get the female lead role. This TV series is a very fresh high school romance story. If it becomes popular, your future will definitely be bright. As for the school aspect, don't worry at all. We'll send a liaison letter to the school in the name of Tianxing International Entertainment. You should know that Tianxing International Entertainment is a key supported unit in the East City district, so the school won't possibly not cooperate with us. The time spent filming will completely exempt you from attending school, and as long as you focus on acting, you'll become a campus all-around expert."

  Lin Junyun's heart skipped a beat: "But... with so many high school girls, why did Uncle have to find me?"

  "From the moment I saw you, I felt that you have a certain aura that ordinary high school students don't have. This characteristic fits perfectly with the theme of our TV series, so I think you're the best candidate." Zhao Hanquan saw Lin Junyuan's heart move, and his heart finally settled down. He said: "The TV series is expected to be completed in three months, plus post-production, at most four months. Except for the winter break, which will delay your studies by only one month, you'll only lose three months of study time. This opportunity is hard to come by, so I hope you'll consider it carefully."

  "What about the homework that's due?" Lin Junyun bit her lip: "Uncle, can you please use Tianxing International Entertainment's name to talk to the principal again? After filming is finished, help me make up for the missed homework. The third year of high school is coming soon, I've worked hard for so long, just waiting for this last chance... my mind is all messed up."

  "This... can be proposed to the person in charge, but it's not necessarily going to work out. Many high school girls participate in the audition, and the competition is fierce. It's not like I have the final say in this matter, after all, it's only four months. Who knows, maybe you'll become famous overnight?" As he said this, Zhao Hanquan really wanted to slap himself to death. He thought that Lin Junyun would be overjoyed and throw herself into his arms upon hearing this good news, but who knew she would react so calmly? What was the point of proposing something when it was already a big deal that Tianxing International Entertainment, her own management company, had begged for half a day to get this spot?

  At first, Lin Junyun asked him to go to his house as a part-time worker, he didn't take it seriously. Now, on the contrary, he paved the way for her and came to the door in person, but didn't see the joy that Lin Junyun expected. Zhao Hangquan felt like he was about to collapse, his wife had already run away with their son and another man, which was already embarrassing enough, now he couldn't even handle a high school student.

  "What's the difference between that and not going to school at all?" Lin Junyun was greatly disappointed, pouting and saying: "Uncle, forget it. If I don't go to school for a few months, I'm afraid I'll fall behind in my studies."

  Zhao Hankui felt his blood vessels were about to burst, and he wished he could stop the car and execute Lin Junyong on the spot. You ungrateful woman, I'm trying to make you a star now, what's the point of studying? Even if you finish college, it's just a worthless degree. I didn't even graduate from middle school, but I'm not doing any worse than anyone else. I'm giving you a chance to rise above and become someone, and you don't want it?

  "Lin Junyun, this is a rare opportunity, I hope you consider it carefully." Zhao Hangquan rubbed his eyes and said patiently.

  "Uncle, thank you for your kindness, I really can't go. How about this? I'll introduce my classmates to try out, they're all very pretty, and I'm sure one of them will satisfy you." Lin Junyun had already made up her mind, she couldn't possibly not attend school for several months, and she still hoped to get into Shanghai Mountain University to make her mother, who had been bullied for a lifetime, proud.

  "Alright, I hope you think it over carefully and call me once you've made up your mind." Zhao Hanquan sighed inwardly, with a million voices telling him not to rush into things. He had seen many young stars who had signed with the company, all with the same get-rich-quick mentality, and he knew exactly how to handle them. But when it came to high school students without any social experience, he was at a loss for what to do. His usual tactics wouldn't work on them, as their values were different, and they didn't follow his usual script.

  "Uh-huh, I'll think about it carefully, Uncle. We're at school now, so I'll get off here, thank you!" Lin Junyun pointed to the school gate and reminded him.

  "Uh-huh, stay in touch." Zhao Hankui maintained a steady smile and pulled the car over to the side of the road.

  "Got it!" Lin Junyun got off the car and turned back to Zhao Hankui with a slight smile: "Uncle, drive carefully, I'm going to school."

  Zhao Hangquan waved his hand in a goodbye gesture, closed the car window and muttered to himself, "What's with the pretence?" He looked at Lin Junyun's back, slammed his hand on the steering wheel, and dialed a number. As soon as it connected, he started yelling: "Where are you? You have twenty minutes to get to the Rich Hotel... What? You need ten minutes to dress up? It's not like we're having dinner, no need to be so formal. Anyway, you'll just end up taking it off, hurry up, I'm getting impatient."
