Hu Zhiyuan posted about Baili Wu and Shang Shujue's tears in the group chat. Everyone was silent for a long time after seeing these posts.
Although they didn't know exactly how terrible the situation was, they could imagine Baili Wu's resilience and desperate gamble at that time.
Someone like Lin Xu, even if he were to escape, would probably not be alone. He not only dared to breach the border network to smuggle himself across, but he also dared to attack soldiers protecting our country. He's no good! He deserves to die! He's probably born to be a coward!
Baili Wu stared at the messages in the group chat, remaining silent for a while before snapping out of his daze. He had actually already made a plan.
The moment he stepped into the dance studio for the first time, looking completely lost and bewildered, he knew he wasn't cut out for the entertainment industry.
He knew he would be eliminated, so he prepared well in advance to join the army after being eliminated.
He meets all the standards. Outside the entertainment industry, he has no relatives. Living a mediocre life alone is not as good as dedicating himself to the country and serving the country for the rest of his life.
" Baili Wu, you're a real man! Enough said. Just let me know on the day you join the army, and I'll definitely come to see you off! I'll give you lots of blessings!"
Zhou Qiyuan was a slightly sentimental person. He patted Baili Wu on the shoulder and said those words. His eyes were red. If it weren't for his poor eyesight and his family's concern, he would have joined the army too.
Baili Wu's roommates also sincerely wished him well, and told him to let them know when he went to join the army so they could see him off.
"Yes, thank you." Baili Wu was very happy to have come to this program and met some friends he could confide in.
Shang Shujue ate a piece of candy, chewed it several times before swallowing, and his mood improved. He couldn't help but sigh to Nuomi, "They're both such bitter little gourds."
[Huh? You're saying the gossip about those four people in the car is also bitter? Should I even continue watching?]
The four of them immediately went to their alarm bells, their hearts pounding with tension, their bodies going numb, and they almost let out a wail.
Brother Jue, you can't miss this! We want to know just how miserable our future will be!
[Hmm... that makes sense. After all, if I successfully change the tragic ending, I'll also get Merit Points and credits, it's just not that fast... oh well, enough said, let's keep watching.]
While the four were tense, Shang Shujue thought to himself that the question had already been uttered. Upon hearing it, the others, who hadn't yet relaxed, tensed up again. Was this the start of a troop selection?
" Brother Jue, how are the benefits at Shangyu Entertainment? I just saw on Weibo that many people have been leaving recently. Is something going on?"
Hu Zhiyuan decided to be the first to reveal the secret, so he spoke up and immediately asked a very crucial question, his handsome face showing his concern.
Upon hearing Hu Zhiyuan's question, Shang Shujue paused slightly in unwrapping the candy, then continued, her tone tinged with a hint of seriousness.
"To be honest, I don't know what's going on either. It's abnormal for Shangyu to lose so many actors overnight. Maybe there are internal problems, or maybe everyone has their own ambitions. We'll have to wait until we get there to find out the specifics."
As if afraid they would think she was deceiving them, Shang Shujue continued, "If they can't accept you there, I'll have your agents sign you to my company. Don't worry about finding work."
" Brother Jue, I'm not asking this because I don't trust you. You don't need to make any special promises. We all thought we had no chance of entering the entertainment industry, but you gave us that opportunity, a glimmer of hope. We're more than grateful."
As soon as Hu Zhiyuan finished speaking, Li Ru, Zheng Jiaye, and Zhou Wangqi all nodded in unison. Shang Shujue found it strange and couldn't help but curl his lips and raise his eyebrows in a wicked smile.
"Ha~ Aren't you afraid I'll betray you like the rumors say? You actually trust me that much?"
[Huh? Aren't I supposed to be universally disliked? Judging from the way Hu Zhiyuan and the others are looking at me, I don't seem like it...]
"The rumors are all lies. After spending these past few days with you, we feel that you are actually a warm-hearted person despite your cold exterior. Those rumors are probably just people spreading them out of jealousy."
"Exactly, exactly, you're a really nice person."
"Yes, I'm really happy that Brother Jue gave me the opportunity to enter the entertainment industry, and I cherish this opportunity very much."
"Yes, I really enjoy acting. More than being sold out, I'm afraid of not meeting your expectations..."
The four of them, in just a few words, left Shang Shujue speechless, unsure how to react. He waved his hand, a little embarrassed, to stop them from continuing their flattery.
"Okay, okay, I understand. You can stop talking now."
[Oh my god, I'm getting red in the face if I keep talking, cough cough... Let's calm down by eating some gossip, let's eat Hu Zhiyuan's gossip, it's this guy who started all this flattery, let me see what's going on with your gossip?]
Hu Zhiyuan:... This isn't flattery, it's a genuine compliment! Brother Jue, you don't appreciate my kindness! ՞⸝⸝o̴̶̷̥᷅ ̫ o̴̶̷᷄⸝⸝՞
