Chapter 471: Together

Translator: Lonelytree

“Let me introduce myself. My name is Qian Tu. I’m your temporary instructor. The man earlier is Xu Lun, your temporary company commander. There will be 8 of us this time. When we arrive at the capital headquarters, we will begin training. The two of us will handle all the training.”

Quan Tu looked at everyone and said seriously, “From now on, we will live and train together. In the future, we will be friends who will fight together. I hope everyone can see their comrades as their home.”

After he was done, everyone clapped out of politeness… well, everyone except one. Ding Cheng kept his head lowered and he played his phone. When the applause ended, he received a message and the notification ping echoed in the quiet carriage. Everyone turned to him again.

Ding Cheng lifted his head and looked out blankly, “What… What’s wrong?”

Quan Tu frowned. The variety show was to help the country’s recruitment drive. However, he also heard that some of the celebrities were not there in earnest. This kid had to be one of them!

Quan Tu was rather angry but there was nothing he could do. After all, the army needed these celebrity endorsements. He was already handed the information of these eight people, it was too late to turn back now.

Ding Chen was a newcomer in their company and he was being heavily promoted. The producer was told to give Ding Chen more camera time but it was hard based on how the young man was acting.

“Comrade, what were you doing?”

Ding Cheng shook his phone innocently. “What do you mean?”

“When your superior is talking, you are not allowed to be on your phone or do anything that could be distracting.” Quan Tu said seriously.

“But we’re not in the army yet, right? Plus, this is just a show…” Ding Chen shrugged and shoved the phone back into his pocket.

Qian Tu sneered internally at Ding Cheng. I’ll have ways to deal with this brat. Quan Tu left after finishing his speech. He glanced at Mo Li before he did. Commander Lin never gets involved in this kind of thing but he told us to pay attention to this Mo Li. This girl is very capable according to Commander Lin but we’ll see…

“Ol’ Zhao, could you cut a pilot out of our current material?” Pan Huang seemed to know the director, and he asked directly.

“Should be fine. The pilot is only half an hour long and with the preshow interviews, it should be fine.”

Preshow interviews? Mo Li was confused. She wasn’t part of that.

“The people from the program team came a few days ago, but you weren’t there. They should take your individual shoot later.” Fang Ming explained to Mo Li.

There were four men and four women in the variety show. Mo Li did not know any of the girls, but there was one of the girls, a model, who seemed to know her very well.

“You’re must be Mo Li. You’re even prettier than the poster. Hello, my name is Zhu Huan.”

“You have a beautiful name.” Mo Li looked at the outstretched hand. In the past, she would have ignored it. But now she understood this was social interaction.

“You are FM’s first Asian model. You’ve really taken a huge step for the rest of us!”

Mo Li didn’t know what to say so she only nodded. When a female actor heard this, she scoffed. The girl must be really arrogant to respond with a nod at her senior’s praise.

“The name’s Cheng Xiao.”

Zhu Huan looked at Cheng Xiao and then Mo Li. Everyone knew Huan Yu and Le Yun were old rivals. They had a peaceful relationship on the surface but they were always one step away from a fight.

Mo Li had heard of Cheng Xiao before. She was one of the few actors at Le Yun who could be the agency’s top star before Song Xin returned. But now that Song Xin did return, things didn’t look so well for Cheng Xiao.

Mo Li looked at the three people before her. The national model, Zhu Huan, the actor, Cheng Xiao, and a rising hostess, Bian Mei. Bian Mei was a female idol and just recently made the switch in her career.

Everyone just got to know each other for the first time. At first, no one spoke. But after an hour, the gap was closed. They chatted, laughed, and exchanged numbers. This team had an average age of over 40 but they interacted quite easily.

Only one person was left out and that was Ding Cheng.. He sat there alone playing on his phone, refusing to talk to the others.
