"Gu Bai, you have a great eye, this student is a promising talent."
Teacher He, the reviewer, knew Gu Bai’s intention and smiled as he spoke to him.
Gu Bai shook his head with a smile, "It’s like picking the tallest among the short ones. There are many new generation actors in Hua Country, but there aren’t many like Wen Jia Min who can be so intuitive without systematic learning. I happen to have resources, so I’m more willing to give opportunities to these unremarkable students rather than waste ti on those flashy but superficial popular actors."
Several reviewing teachers nodded with satisfaction.
What Gu Bai said was righteously high-minded, but it struck a chord with several teachers. They were not capital companies but genuine educators whose aspiration was not for a prosperous film industry but for a truly outstanding new generation actor in Hua Country.
They were also aware of their limited capabilities. The real power lies with entertainnt capitalists like Gu Bai, and his statent, whether true or false, delighted them imnsely.
"But I still hope you restrain yourself later. Even if you et a student you’re satisfied with, I hope you exchange contacts privately. After all, this is an examination venue, and you’re representing our Shanghai Theatre Academy reviewer team. You shouldn’t lead by violating the examination rules."
Hearing the sowhat stern words of the reviewing teacher, Gu Bai solemnly nodded.
As for Hu Ge and Li Yin Yin, due to Gu Bai’s presence, they were more like mascots, just smiling silently behind.
The interview continued. It took two hours to finish interviewing four groups of students, and it seed that only four examination venues were prepared this ti, so just the performance departnt interviews would take four to five days.
Just as the school exam interviews were progressing in an orderly manner, chaos erupted outside the examination venue.
The original fifth group of candidates for the school exam interview had not entered the venue for a long ti, and several reviewing teachers were puzzled, peering outside through the door cracks.
Gu Bai was playing with his phone. Seeing Teacher He intending to get up to see what was going on outside, he quickly stopped him, "Teacher He, you stay here. I’ll go out to check the situation."
Reviewing teachers cannot contact outsiders during the monitoring period, which is the rule. However, as a "suggested reviewer," Gu Bai was not bound by this rule, so he walked out of the classroom. Hu Ge and Li Yin Yin exchanged glances and got up to follow.
Outside the examination venue, several security personnel were forming a human wall to stop soone’s entry.
Upon seeing this, Gu Bai frowned and stepped forward to inquire, "What’s going on?"
The security departnt director, a middle-aged man from the Han tribe, who ca imdiately upon learning of the situation, saw Gu Bai and, with so respect in his tone, said, "Minister Gu, so parents are causing a disturbance. Our staff is handling it."
Gu Bai held no specific position at the school, only holding the title of Minister in the external relations departnt of the student branch. The security director directly addressing Gu Bai as Minister Gu was not a big issue. He knew well the whole story of the Li Gang incident. A deputy director at the reception was dismissed for offending Gu Bai; for him, a security office director, to lose his position would be even easier, as he was just an external staff mber, much easier to dismiss than Li Gang back then.
Upon hearing the security director’s words, Gu Bai stepped forward and recognized a familiar face—child star Wu Sanshi and her mother, who had greeted him before.
Wu Sanshi’s mother, with disheveled hair, was like a shrew being surrounded by security personnel, shouting and screaming at the top of her lungs, while Wu Sanshi stood by, face full of sha and speechless.
Seeing the fifth group of candidates being kept to the side awkwardly by the security personnel, Gu Bai frowned and snapped, "What the hell is this? Why aren’t the candidates entering the examination venue to take their exams?"
The security director said, "Because soone disrupted the order of the examination venue. To ensure the fairness of the school exam, we could only temporarily suspend the exams at venue 104..."
"That’s bullshit, everyone here today is serving the school exam, nothing’s more important than the exam! Let the fifth group of students prepare to enter the venue for their exams!"
Gu Bai’s reprimand left the security director embarrassed. Being chastised by a student in public was difficult for him. Still, after hesitating for a few seconds, he issued a command, allowing the security personnel to let the ten candidates enter the venue.
"No way! If you don’t give an explanation for this issue, you can forget about continuing with the exams! The candidates agreed, so why is your school stopping them?"
Wu Sanshi’s mother continued shouting relentlessly.
Gu Bai first let the candidates enter the venue, then slowly turned to the security director, speaking in a tone as calm as water, devoid of emotion, "Now can you explain what happened exactly?"
But before the security director could answer, Wu Sanshi’s mother’s eyes lit up spotting Gu Bai, and she shouted at him, "Chairman Gu, why don’t you judge for yourself!
Our Sanshi has a temporary appointnt in the afternoon and just swapped places with a classmate from the fifth group, wanting to go into the examination venue first. The candidates agreed, but these damn security guys wouldn’t let us in!
If this is the attitude of your Shanghai Theatre Academy’s school exam, I’ll definitely hold a press conference to expose you!"
Upon hearing Wu Sanshi’s mother’s words, a smile suddenly appeared on Gu Bai’s previously expressionless face, and his eyes slightly narrowed.
