3 Picked up a treasure
Assistant Liu was truly worthy of being the perfect special assistant her mother had left for her. His work efficiency was so efficient that Yuan Xiao wanted to give him a big pay raise. After completing the tasks assigned the day before, by the afternoon of the next day, she and Assistant Liu were already sitting in the principal's office of the Central Conservatory of Music High School.
The principal was very enthusiastic. After all, Yuanxin was a well-known large company in the industry, and its ability to create stars was obvious to all. It was not uncommon for entertainment companies to come to art schools to recruit people these days.
Yuan Xiao communicated with them in advance that the signed trainees would still take the unified art exam at their original school. After all, these days, idols’ academic qualifications are the glory of fans, and if they don’t have a bachelor’s degree, they are illiterate. The principal fully approves of the company’s desire to help them train students, and urgently hopes that Yuan Xiao can pick a few more so that he can add a few more avatars to the glorious alumni wall.
She was also very happy to learn that the group of students aged sixteen to eighteen that she wanted had not yet been picked by any company or participated in a talent show. Yuan Xiao thought with satisfaction, this way she could at least pick a good candidate, right?
An empty classroom was borrowed from the school. Yuan Xiao and Liu Zhu, together with a teacher from the affiliated high school, formed the entire judging panel for this audition. There was no need to worry about it being a makeshift team; the name of Yuan Xin was enough to get these little ones to sign up enthusiastically.
The students queuing at the door stretched all the way along the corridor to the stairs. Yuan Xiao had to temporarily change the process from a single interview to an interview in groups of five. Each person had three minutes to introduce themselves and show their talents. If they failed to catch Yuan Xiao's attention with their characteristics at the first time, they would have to leave with regret.
At first, there was some fun in it, like an emperor choosing his concubines. But later, as faces flashed by one after another like a revolving lantern, Yuan Xiao soon became numb and turned into a ruthless recognition machine.
Height is not good, PASS, facial features are not good, PASS, frame is too thin, PASS, voice is unpleasant, PASS, too short, PASS, ugly, PASS...
After more than two hours, nearly a hundred people passed by. Yuan Xiao raised his hand and rubbed his forehead. He exhaled softly and said to Assistant Liu, "Assistant Liu, let's take a break. I'm going to the bathroom. Please let the students behind wait for a while."
She walked out of the door quickly with her handbag, and was faced with a long line that seemed endless. Yuan Xiao lowered her head and walked through the jungle of boys who were already very tall and were about sixteen or seventeen years old, and chose to go to the bathroom downstairs.
If she wants to be the best boy band, she will definitely not be able to respond to the expectations of all these students. This world is so cruel that people are divided into different levels based on their talents.
I hope that the children who were not selected can also find a field where they can truly shine.

Yuan Xiao went down two floors and hurriedly turned a corner and rushed into the bathroom at the end of the corridor. Someone was talking on the phone outside the window. Yuan Xiao didn't see his face, but only heard a few words floating in the wind: "...Give me some more time."
Ru Ming Pei Huan, these six words controlled Yuan Xiao and dragged her out of the bathroom again.
The young man in front of the window whispered to the phone: "...I know, I will collect the repayment as soon as possible, at most one month...one month, I will try my best to get the money back...I will definitely pay it back if I promise, it's useless for you to force me."
Yuan Xiao chose to endure it between disturbing others impolitely and going to the toilet.
After all, it's a really nice voice, so it seems okay to just bear with it.
It wasn't until the man finished talking and hung up the phone that she walked over and patted him on the shoulder, startling the boy who had just hung up the phone. "Who?"
He turned around, and Yuan Xiao's eyes lit up again. The young man in front of him had a pair of beautiful, clear black eyes, which were now a little tearful, with a slightly reddened corner. When he smiled with his lips pursed shyly, shallow dimples could be seen on his cheeks.
Like a bullied little golden retriever.
"Student?" Yuan Xiao narrowed her eyes and read the school badge on his chest. Su Chen, a nice name. He didn't even need a stage name when he debuted. The more she looked at it, the more satisfied she became. "Are you from the Opera Department?"
Su Chen nodded. He had never seen Yuan Xiao in school. Judging from his clothes... was he a teacher? What did he want to see him for?
"I'm the agent of Yuanxin Entertainment." Yuan Xiao took out a business card from her bag. On the card was her name and Yuanxin's famous logo. Because the words "producer" of an idol group were a bit difficult to pronounce, she only printed the words "agent" for the time being. "I'm sorry that I accidentally overheard the content of your phone call just now. I wonder if you would consider becoming a trainee?"
“?” Trainee?
"You can consider it. You are in good condition. Yuanxin provides trainees with two meals a day and a living allowance of 2,000 per month. This money is pure income, which should be more than what you can save from most of your part-time jobs."
"And if you have difficulties in life, you can apply to the company for an advance payment. Not to mention that if you can make it to the final debut group, the company will renegotiate with you on income distribution. Don't worry, Yuanxin is an old company with a good reputation. You can check it online."
Yuan Xiao fired at Su Chen like a machine gun, successfully making the child accept the business card without knowing what was going on, and then added:
"The trainee selection is only this afternoon, it's upstairs, you can go up and take a look."
After saying that, without giving Su Chen a chance to refuse, she smiled encouragingly, turned around and went into the bathroom, leaving Su Chen standing by the window in a daze.
He watched his beautiful sister suddenly appear and then suddenly disappear. It took him a while to react and he still felt like he was daydreaming.
How come God sent him a perfect opportunity right before his eyes when he was most helpless?

When Yuan Xiao walked out of the bathroom, the door was empty. She blinked, hoping that the boy had listened to her words. Otherwise it would be a pity. After all, she couldn't kidnap him to be her trainee if he didn't want to.
"Tong, can you check the basic information of the boy I saw before?" It was a pity that she was too anxious before and did not leave his contact information. If he really didn't come in the afternoon, she could still persuade him. After all, his voice was really special. It was not easy to find a big lead singer these days. It was a pie in the sky for her to pick up a talented one.
[…This is a damage repair system, not a search engine.] The system, which had not spoken for a long time, said this.
"You are such a good cook."
[…Host, are you controlling me? ]
"You're already playing with memes, you must have secretly surfed the Internet." Yuan Xiao remained calm, "You can check all the positive reviews on the Internet, so this little thing must be no problem for you. Please help me check it out, thank you for your hard work."
[I can try...]
She was in a good mood when she returned. Even Assistant Liu noticed it and smiled gently with his eyes to inquire. Yuan Xiao sat down in her original position and explained, "I just met a good seedling when I went out. It's worth coming here today."
In most boy bands, those who sing badly can fix the sound, those who dance badly can be called rappers, and those who look average can be fixed with makeup, but Yuan Xiao wants to be the best. The best means that his singing, dancing, appearance, and creation are all the best, and he even has a passion and hard work for the stage.
The conditions were a bit harsh, but she didn't want to lower her standards. If she could find someone who initially met her standards today, she would be considered a winner.
What made her even happier was yet to come. She didn't know if the trip had changed her luck or what, but in the following interview session, there were actually several students who she thought were pretty good. Even talents from the creative department came to sign up. She signed four trainee contracts right away, which was smoother than she had expected.
But she was always thinking about the pearls and jade she had picked up, and she always wanted to look outside to see if anyone had come.
Until the last person outside the door walked in, Yuan Xiao's eyes lit up. The lead singer she had been thinking about finally came like an angel. A furry little head poked in the door, and Su Chen walked in holding a resume that was just printed and was still hot. He had been preparing for this during the time he disappeared, and luckily he made it in time.
Su Chen didn't think that a big company like Yuanxin would really recruit him as a trainee just because of what he said, but for him now, every opportunity was crucial. If it was really like what Yuan Xiao said, maybe...
He calmed himself down and focused all his attention on the upcoming test.
Yuan Xiao roughly glanced through his resume. There was basically nothing to write about students who were still in school. It was just about what they had learned and what their hobbies were. She had looked at at least a hundred people who could play the piano and two hundred people who could play the guitar this afternoon. Even Su Chen's resume was even briefer.
The instrument is... whistle?
Yuan Xiao raised his eyebrows, which was quite bold.
She knew that Su Chen's family might be in financial difficulty, so she didn't intend to make things difficult for him. Since he was in the opera department, the vocal should be impeccable. Even if his singing style and vocal techniques were inconsistent, she could ask the teacher to teach him slowly.
After simply listening to a piece of vocal music, she found that Su Chen's voice was just as she expected. There was a special texture in his voice, a bit like the sound of spring water flowing through bluestone, or pearls rolling across a jade plate. The transition from strong mix to weak mix was extremely natural, even better than listening to him speak.
Even Assistant Liu understood why his President Xiao Yuan was so happy after going out. President Xiao Yuan had good vision and luck. He was undoubtedly a genius.
Even if they can't form a group in the end, this boy in front of me deserves a contract as a singer with Yuanxin.
She looked up at Su Chen, and she couldn't be more satisfied, but she still asked: "Can you dance?"
The young man in front of him shook his head honestly. He was tall and had long legs, but he really couldn't dance. "I only took a few body shape classes."
"Then show us what you learned in your physical education class." Yuan Xiao nodded encouragingly, "Just a simple performance will be fine."
This is mainly to see if he has coordinated limbs. If he has not learned dancing, even radio gymnastics is fine. As long as he is not born a dance idiot, everything else can be made up through acquired efforts. It is better not to let the stupid beauty who can't keep up with the slow half a beat appear in her group.
Su Chen nodded. Although it was a bit embarrassing, fortunately there were only four people in the room, so it was okay.
Yuan Xiao quietly checked the battery level of the DV camera that had been placed on the table, keeping her smile perfect.
