After washing up and having breakfast, Yu Chen drove to the company. At 11 o'clock, Huo Qi arrived and passed along the information that he had compiled.

"Here are the three artists with the highest potential upon my evaluation. They all look decent, but the only issue is that they have never played a male lead. I don't know if they'll be able to meet expectations."

Yu Chen opened the folder and looked it over. They did indeed look decent. Then, he watched the scenes that Huo Qi had asked the three to play.

After watching it, he concluded, "Not bad. It's not like everyone plays the male lead as soon as they rise to stardom. Whoever has the ability can play the part. "

"Then do you want to choose one yourself, or do you want them to go to the audition and let the director choose?" Huo Qi asked.

When he heard this, Yu Chen inexplicably thought of Ling Qing. Ling Qing also wanted to be an actor. He was even willing to join a talent selection in order to get his ticket into the entertainment industry.

What Ling Qing didn't know, however, was that as long as he asked, Yu Chen could give him many tickets. Because they didn't have much prior contact, and the entertainment company was just a side business, it was normal for Ling Qing not to know.

Nevertheless, how could he keep this a secret from Ling Qing?

He could always keep it in the dark and wait for Ling Qing to find out on his own, although this would be detrimental to the both of them. If he told Ling Qing about it now, then he would have no choice but to help Ling Qing.

However, he still didn't want Ling Qing to act.

Yu Chen stared at the computer in front of him, lost in thought.

Huo Qi walked up to him, waved a hand in front of his face, and snapped his fingers as he said, "Wandering soul, return to your body."

He leaned over the computer and asked, "Lost in your thoughts? What are you thinking so hard about?"

"Do you think it's a good thing to be an actor?" Yu Chen asked.

"Nothing wrong with it." Huo Qi replied.

"Then, would you let your girlfriend become an actress?"

"First, I don't have a girlfriend. Second, why not?" Huo Qi peered at him. "Someone wanted to be an actor and you said no?"

Yu Chen was hesitant to reply.

Thus, Huo Qi changed the question, "Why didn't you agree?"

As he thought about it, Yu Chen became even more unwilling to reply.

Huo Qi noticed that he continued to remain silent and asked out of curiosity, "Who is it?"

He implored Yu Chen, "There's nothing bad about it. If they want to become an actor, it just so happens that it's our line of business. They can just join our company, isn't that great?"

"I'll have to think about it," Yu Chen declared.

"So there really was someone," Huo Qi exclaimed, "Who is it?"

"Why do you care so much? Get out. Go tell those three to go audition in a few days and see which one the director likes."

Huo Qi gave him a look of disdain, "If you don't tell me now, I'll find out when they join the company in the future. There's no need to keep hiding it."

"Then you'll know in the future."

No longer willing to deal with him, Huo Qi waved his hand and left.
