Chapter 442 - 267: Let’s Go Swimming Together (2)

Han Guangqi smiled. "You think he’s a match for our Huipin?"

"Haha..."

Everyone at the table burst into laughter.

"Cheers!"

...

[You displayed great skill in a three-player card game. Physique +1]

[You vanquished two sirens. Martial Force +1]

The next morning, the two women initiated another card game. Their two mouths worked in perfect, harmonious coordination—a clear sign of good sisters who believed in sharing their good fortune.

After Lin Jiang got up, he eagerly joined the game. About two hours later, both women were completely exhausted and lying on the bed, neither able to get up.

"Fangfei, why can’t the two of us beat just him alone?"

"We need to train harder!"

After leaving the two women’s place, Lin Jiang drove to Fang Jie’s home.

Today was the finals of the Zhonghai Region cheerleading competition, and he had to take Fang Jie to have a look.

When he arrived at Zhonghai Lijing, he waited by the entrance for a few minutes before Fang Jie emerged, swaying gracefully.

Fang Jie’s attire was quite mature. She wore a black, cinched-waist skirt with a slit, paired with a small gray top. The outfit perfectly showcased her figure, accentuating her wide hips and narrow waist.

"You must have been waiting long. Dealing with the kid held me up a bit," Fang Jie said apologetically after getting in the car.

"I just got here myself."

"I’ve arranged for you to meet the director and an actor. Tomorrow at ten in the morning, does that work for you?"

"No problem. Which actor did you get?"

"Liu Wenwen. You’ve probably heard the name, right? She was the third female lead in *Youthful Prose Poem*. After the movie came out, the male and female leads got a lukewarm reception, but her popularity really took off. After reading the script, she was the first person I thought of for the role of Qiu Ya."

Fang Jie said,

"The director is Li Wenzhong, an up-and-coming young director. He previously won a major award at the Beijing Youth Film Festival. The three films he’s directed have a cumulative box office of two billion. He’s a great fit for this kind of low-budget comedy."

"Alright. I’ll meet them tomorrow."

Tongzi had rewarded him with the Eye of Talent, so he could judge that Liu Wenwen person for himself. As for the director, he didn’t have much of a say and would need to consider various factors.

"What are his three films called? I’ll watch them when I have time."

"I’ve already prepared them for you. Come over to my place tonight, and we can discuss them together."

"No problem."

The finals for the Zhonghai Region were once again held at Zhonghai Sports University.

Since it was a competition between Zhonghai’s major universities, the audience was packed, mostly with the competitors’ classmates. This made the atmosphere at the venue even more electric.

After arriving at the venue, Lin Jiang didn’t go looking for Qiu Yunong. The two of them found a spot with a relatively clear view to watch the competition below.

Fang Jie focused on their physical appearances, while Lin Jiang looked at their talent.

By combining both perspectives, the person they chose would be more or less perfect.

"This competition you’ve set up is of a higher caliber than I expected," Fang Jie said.

"The skill level of these team members is really not bad at all. Besides picking actors for you, I’m going to scout a few models for myself. President Lin won’t mind, will he?"

"Of course not. Pick anyone you want," Lin Jiang said with a smile.

After a brief chat, the two of them got down to business.

Lin Jiang scanned the crowd, searching for suitable candidates.

But these students all seemed rather average.

As far as he could see, the highest acting talent was only 67 points, just barely passing.

However, a few of them had decent singing talent, with the highest scoring 79 points.

At this level, with a bit of training and deep cultivation, they could become quite good.

But his purpose today was to find people with acting talent. Singing ability could take a backseat for now.

Meanwhile, Fang Jie was constantly noting down suitable candidates in her phone’s memo app.

One team after another took the stage, and Lin Jiang’s gaze swept over each and every person.

Soon, Lin Jiang’s eyes lit up. He had found someone with an acting talent of 75.

Although her looks weren’t bad, in a cheerleading competition packed with beauties, she could only be considered average.

But a talent score of 75 was definitely worth cultivating, so Lin Jiang silently made a note of her team and name: Zhonghai Normal University, Miao Xiaoyuan.

About another hour or so passed before the team from the Zhonghai Drama Academy took the stage.

Lin Jiang’s eyes instantly lit up again. It was someone accompanying the team!

[Name: Tang Wan]

[Singing Talent: 91]

[Acting Talent: 95]

’What kind of godly talent is this???’

Forget about playing Qiu Ya; Lin Jiang was already itching to have her play Ma Dongmei.

’It has to be her!’

Taking out his phone, Lin Jiang snapped a photo of Tang Wan and sent it to Qiu Yunong, wanting to find out who this person was.

"You’ve taken a liking to her too?" Fang Jie said.

Lin Jiang nodded. "I think she’s exceptional."

"Her appearance is certainly good, but she isn’t one of the student competitors. I think she’s the team leader or a teacher."

"That doesn’t matter. A few of the students on her team look pretty good too. They can come in for a screen test. We should provide more opportunities."

"Mmm."

The two of them spent the entire day in the gymnasium.

Fang Jie picked out over twenty people, while Lin Jiang chose five.

Among his five choices, three overlapped with Fang Jie’s, so they ended up selecting those three.

As for the rest, Fang Jie could keep them for her own media company.

Although the number wasn’t large, Lin Jiang felt it was more than enough.

There were still teams from other provinces and cities to come. If they continued to pick and choose carefully, they would definitely be able to find many more.

By the time the competition was completely over, it was already past three in the afternoon.

First place went to Zhonghai Sports University, second place to Zhonghai Drama Academy, and third place to Zhonghai Jiaotong University.
