    Wen Bailiu threw the contract on the table, leaned back lazily on the chair, and looked at the teenagers in front of him.

    Li Zheng didn't expect that he was rejected by the brokerage company, rubbing his hands nervously and excitedly: "Mr. Wen, may I work as an assistant?"

    "I don't want to be an assistant, I want to be a trainee." A boy with a baby face beside him said first: "I think I've performed pretty well, Mr. Wen, you see where I still need to improve, I will work hard!"

    Wen Bailiu looked at the five teenagers in front of him, his phoenix eyes swept over their faces one by one.

    They don't say how good they are, but they are all handsome and clean, with a strong sense of amateurs.

    "You are the first batch of trainees signed by TOP Entertainment, and also the first boy group that will be launched soon." His voice was not loud, but it was powerful.

    The baby-faced boy suddenly showed surprise: "Mr. Wen, you mean that I can debut as a boy group?"

    Li Zheng shook his head again and again: "No, no, no, boy band or something, I can't sing and dance."

    "Three months." Wen Bailiu estimated the time when Lin Dong will officially go online: "I will give you three months to prepare, and you will debut after passing the assessment. If you fail, pack up and leave."

    Among the five teenagers, except Babyface and Izumi who were trainees, the others are all vegans.Jiang Yi is from the Department of Dance and has studied Chinese dance for more than ten years. Qian Hang is from the Department of Musical Theater and is still a tenor. He has never danced before.

    The other person is a model, straight and tall.

    There is also Li Zheng, who has conspicuous yellow hair and has no other specialties.

    These few people are singled out, each has its own merits, but to form a boy group——

    This is probably the worst boy group in history.

    "Mr. Wen, do you want to form a boy group with us?" Qian Hang asked after hesitating for a long time.

    Wen Bailiu almost choked on a sip of water: "I'm so old, why don't I form a boy group." Pushing the contract in front of them: "This is a temporary contract for three months. During this period, we will provide you with dormitories and meals.", with a basic salary of 5,000 a month."

    Li Zheng was dumbfounded: "How about five thousand a month for food and housing?"

    "If you can make your official debut, you can earn more money." Wen Bailiu snorted softly.

    "Mr. Wen, don't worry, I will work very, very hard!" Li Zheng's eyes showed a strong fighting spirit.

    In addition to these few teenagers who were preparing to debut, Wen Bailiu also recruited vocal teachers, dance teachers, body teachers... everything that should be there.

    In fact, some companies do not specially arrange all-round teachers, and require trainees to spend their own money to learn outside.

    Although Qian Hang is a tenor, he had to change his singing style if he wanted to sing the songs of the men's group.

    "Yeah." Baby-faced boy Song Chen nodded again and again: "I will definitely seize this opportunity."

    After signing the contract, Wen Bailiu interviewed a few more assistant candidates, and soon left behind a young man who looked very smart.

    Lin Bei used to work as an assistant at Creation Entertainment, but later he chose to resign because the artists he worked with really didn't treat him as a human being.

    After seeing TOP's application for an assistant, he ran over, but he didn't expect that the interviewer was Wen Bailiu.

    "Wen, Wen, Wen Bailiu." Lin Bei looked at Wen Bailiu, his face was red, his eyes were flustered and he dared not look at each other.

    Wen Bailiu looked at him as a little fan, and knew that this guy was probably his fan.

    "Are you my fan?"

    "Yeah!" Lin Bei nodded quickly, scratching his neck in embarrassment: "I... I will stutter when I get nervous."

    Wen Bailiu sighed: "It's a pity, I still want you to be my manager."

    "Agent? Me?" Lin Bei pointed to his nose in disbelief, and confirmed again: "It's really me?"

    "The company has just been established, and there are no artists yet. Funds are relatively tight. It is a good choice to find an experienced assistant as a manager." Wen Bailiu said bluntly, he just wanted cheap labor: "Of course, if you don't want to,does not matter."

    "Yes, yes! Of course I would!" Lin Bei nodded hurriedly, for fear that Wen Bailiu would regret it: "Mr. Wen, although I have no experience at present, I will accumulate experience as soon as possible."

    "Okay." Anyway, I can't afford much salary.

    There is a high probability that Lin Bei will generate electricity for love.

    Several teenagers had already started to go to class, and Wen Bailiu also had to go to school.

    There is another exam in the afternoon.

    Tsk.

    Students are really troublesome.

    After taking a taxi to Imperial City University, the driver talked about the benefits of Imperial City University familiarly in the car: "Emperor City University is a good school, your grades must be very good, my classmate, and you look good too."

    "You are a winner in life!"

    Wen Bailiu didn't speak, just pulled up the hoodie and put it on his head.

    The driver saw that he didn't want to say more, so he shut his mouth resentfully.Suddenly, a kitten jumped out in front of him, and he had to slam on the brakes, almost causing Wen Bailiu to hit the back of the chair in front of him.

    "Sorry sir, are you all right?"

    Seeing Wen Bailiu's cold eyes, the driver immediately sweated on his forehead.

    "Stop talking and drive well." Wen Bailiu's voice was cold.

    It is not good to go out today, and it seems to be bad luck.

    Wen Bailiu suddenly lost the mood to go to school and wanted to go home.

    The original owner has been repeated for a year, and it is okay to stay for a few more years.Why don't you just take a break from school?Wen Bailiu was already thinking silently in his heart.

    The small group sent messages in the group, urging Wen Bailiu to come quickly.

    [Zhang Fei]: Ah Bai, you will not forget the exam today, right??This professional course is very important, if you attend, you will get grades, and if you have grades, you can pass it.If you don't take the exam, you will pass!

    [Lin Sen]: At 1 o'clock in the afternoon, Abai still has time.

    [Zhang Fei]: I know, I'm afraid that Ah Bai may oversleep.

    [Zheng Wang]: How about I go find him?

    [Wen Bailiu]: Don't make any noise, here we come.

    The driver didn't dare to say any more, he stepped on the accelerator and flew up.It took Wen Bailiu to the gate of Emperor City University in ten minutes, got off the car and slammed the door, Wen Bailiu walked towards the gate of the school.

    Arriving directly at the examination room, Zhang Fei and Lin Sen were waiting at the door of the classroom. When they saw Wen Bailiu, they hurried up to greet him: "Abai, you've come, I'm afraid you may have overslept."

    "You won't oversleep even if I oversleep." Wen Bailiu rolled his eyes at him and walked straight into the classroom.

    "By the way, the exam will end later, and we still have a lecture to attend." Lin Sen looked up from the phone screen: "It looks like a short notice."

    "What lecture?" Zhang Fei complained, "Why didn't you notify me in advance? I still want to go for a drink."

    Wen Bailiu ignored the two of them and found his own seat.

    "I didn't bring a pen."

    He stretched out his hand towards Zhang Fei.

    Zhang Fei had no choice but to say, "You came to take the exam without even bringing a pen." Then, he took out a pen from his pencil case.

    This is an art professional exam, Wen Bailiu looked at this paper as if reading a book from heaven.

    After signing his name and student number with a pen, he put it on the table and propped his head with one hand in a daze.

    The teacher came over and knocked on his desk.

    Recognizing Wen Bailiu, his eyes were both surprised and amazed.

    Looking at Wen Bailiu's face again, he reluctantly looked away.

    "Teacher." Wen Bailiu handed him the paper: "Can I hand in the paper?"

    There was still more than an hour to go, Wen Bailiu didn't know how to spend this boring time.

    The teacher watched him hand in the blank paper: "You didn't write anything."

    "I wrote it, name." Wen Bailiu pointed to his signature.

    The teacher looked at the signature eagerly, wondering if he could cut it out and take it away later.

    "Teacher, this is my paper." Wen Bailiu saw the eagerness in his eyes: "You don't want to do anything strange, do you?"

    "If you want my autograph, I can sign some for you."

    "Really?!" The teacher said in surprise, "Can I have my autographed photo?"

    He took out a dozen photos from his pocket and happily handed them to Wen Bailiu.

    It turned out to be a fanatic.

    "...Yes." Wen Bailiu took the photos, all of which were self-printed, most of which were his screenshots from "Starlight Boy".

    He picked up the pen and signed his name eloquently on it, and asked while signing, "Teacher, I won't fail the exam, right?"

    "If I really fail the exam, it will really give me a headache."

    The teacher paused, coughed twice, and said in a low voice, "Well, don't worry."

    "Wen Bailiu, you are blatantly offering bribes!" Some students looked up in disbelief.

    "You can also sign some names for the teacher." Wen Bailiu didn't care, turned around and said with a smile: "See if he passes the test for you?"

    The man opened his mouth, but stopped talking.

    Resentfully no longer speak.

    After signing, Wen Bailiu generously handed it back to him: "Thank you teacher."

    Zhang Fei watched Wen Bailiu walk out of the classroom, scratching his cheek anxiously.He couldn't be like Wen Bailiu, just sign a few names and hand in the papers and leave.

    When he and Lin Sen handed in the paper and left, just as he walked out of the classroom, he saw Wen Bailiu holding a bottle of Coke, with one hand resting on the railing of the stairs, looking at them.

    Holding the other two bottles of Coke in his hand, he raised his hand and handed them to them.

    Zhang Fei and Lin Sen looked at each other, walked forward with a smile, and took the Coke from Wen Bailiu's hand.

    The clear voice of "Stinger" came, and Zhang Fei took a mouthful of Coca-Cola before sighing comfortably: "It's so refreshing."

    "I still have to listen to the lecture later, so let's go to the cafeteria to eat first?" Zhang Fei rubbed his belly: "I've consumed brain cells for a day, so I'm so hungry right now."

    Wen Bailiu was also a little hungry, so he nodded: "I didn't bring my meal card."

    "Brother, treat me." Zhang Fei patted his chest righteously.

    Zheng Wang was in the laboratory when Zhang Fei called him over.

    Seeing Wen Bailiu, the unwillingness on his face dissipated, he ran over and sat down beside Zhang Fei.

    Wen Bailiu was digging curry chicken rice with a spoon, raised his eyes and glanced at Zheng Wang as a greeting.

    Zheng Wang looked at Wen Bailiu anxiously: "Abai, is there anything else I can do?"

    "You just need to advance the matter at hand." Wen Bailiu raised his head: "The actual weather conditions that winter transplants will face are more complicated than you expected."

    "Being as much prepared as possible saves a lot of time."

    "Okay." Zheng Wang nodded: "I've been in the laboratory these days, and indeed I found a lot of imperfections in the data. What you said, Abai, is very reasonable."

    "Wow, who is that person?" Zhang Fei raised his head and suddenly shouted.

    The rest of the people also followed the sound.

    I saw the principal leading a young man in white into the cafeteria. The man looked familiar.

    Wen Bailiu looked intently, Shang Chen?

    "Mr. Shang, this is the school cafeteria." The principal smiled kindly: "I don't know if you used to eat here often?"

    "Principal, you don't have to be polite, just call me Shang Chen."

    "Hehe, yes." The principal responded: "I can invite you back to give lectures to the students this time, and the students will definitely gain a lot."

    "Don't dare, I'm just learning from each other with them." Shang Chen said humbly, and caught a glimpse of a figure inadvertently.

    His face couldn't help being slightly stunned.

    The headmaster noticed his expression and asked, "Did you meet someone you know?"

    Shang Chen chuckled: "No, I've graduated so many years, and no one in school remembers me."

    "What are you talking about!" The principal frowned slightly unwillingly: "Every school celebration, the voice of wanting to invite you back to give a speech is the highest."

    "It's just that you are too busy to contact people, so you have never had a chance."

    Shang Chen chuckled: "The company is busy, and I'm abroad. The secretary will help me filter out some calls. It's indeed my negligence."

    "Where is it?" The principal quickly waved his hand: "Seven Group is so big, it must be busy. It is already an honor for our school that you have time to give a lecture to the school today haha."

    After exchanging pleasantries, Shang Chen and the principal left the cafeteria.

    Wen Bailiu finished his meal slowly, and got up holding the dinner plate, there was still more than half of the food on his plate.

    Zhang Fei asked him: "Have you stopped eating?"

    "Well, I'll go back first." After Wen Bailiu finished speaking, he held the plate and prepared to go to the plate recycling place.

    "Eh? Don't listen to the lecture?" Zhang Fei reminded: "The school attaches great importance to this lecture. I heard that it is linked to attendance."

    Wen Bailiu stopped.

    The school still has such disgusting tricks.

    Zheng Wang is a student in the Department of Biology, so he doesn't need to go to lectures, and he continues to nest in the laboratory after eating.Wen Bailiu and Zhang Fei obediently followed the crowd and sat down in the lecture hall.

    The lecture hall of Imperial City University is very spacious and can accommodate tens of thousands of people.

    Shang Chen's formula photo was shown on the LED screen in front of the stage, and Wen Bailiu pursed his lips, lacking in interest.

    "Zhang Fei, can I leave after the roll call?"

    Zhang Fei grumbled at the photos on the screen: "No way, Ah Bai, look at how handsome the people in today's lecture are! Isn't this better than those bald men?"

    Lin Sen looked at Shang Chen's photo, thoughtful: "Wait, this is the boss of Seven Group, the legendary Shang Chen?"

    "Shang Chen??" Zhang Fei shouted excitedly, "Wow, my idol!"

    Wen Bailiu rolled his eyes, and the squad leader came over with the roster: "Wen Bailiu, Zhang Fei, Lin Sen, sit in the first row."

    "Why?"

    "Really?!"

    Voices of surprise and doubt sounded at the same time.

    The questioning voice naturally came from Wen Bailiu, he wanted to run ahead of time, who wanted to sit in the front row.

    "It's like this. The dean specifically explained that he won the best position in the front row for the students of this academy. Senior Shang Chen is a recipient of a full-scale scholarship from the Art Department of Wharton College. Everyone should be closer to him so that we can absorb the European spirit...…Oh no, more can be learned.”

    The squad leader almost slipped the tongue, their dean is a metaphysics blogger.
