Chapter 34 Period Testing
Ashley had to walk over, pretending not to see them.
"Good morning, Mr. Zhan, Flora... Good morning, teacher." She wanted to call Flora sister. But later she realized that Flora was
about her age, so she called her teacher.
Jasper nodded at her.
Although they lived under the same roof, because of the training, Ashley went home late in the evening. All the people in the
Zhan family except the guards had gone to sleep. She washed her face, brushed her teeth and had dinner in a rush, so in the
nearly one month, the actual meeting time between the two was ten or twenty minutes in the morning.
"Nowadays kids are so sensible. Call me sister. Teachers are too unfamiliar." Flora put her arm on Ashley's shoulder and said,
"You come so early in the morning. Have you had breakfast? I asked my assistant to buy crab cream and soy milk from the
Crystal Palace. You can have some with me."
Before Ashley could answer her, Flora turned to Jasper. "Jasper, I'm starving to death. I haven't had breakfast yet. Could you
please let me go? I won't do this again."
Jasper's face showed some hints of disappointment, and he must feel bored, so he waved his hand and said, "go ahead!"
Ashley was astonished. Flora wasn't afraid of Jasper at all.
"Would you like to join us, Jasper? I've asked my assistant to buy us a lot of food,"
"No thanks! Hurry up your breakfast and then go with your announcement. Don't be late again. Got it?"
"Don't worry. Focus on your work. Nothing will go wrong this time." Flora giggled.
After taking a look at her, Jasper walked out of the agency department with a sullen face.
"You're so early." Holding Ashley in her arms, Flora walked towards the small meeting room. On the glass table, the assistant
had already placed steamed bun dishes and soy milk, "I got up early in the morning and came here earlier than usual. Why do
you come here today?"
"I have no other choice. You are the only stars receiving training in our company, so I come here to be the most busy one. After
all, I have an agent of the president."
Flora's character was quite interesting. After dinner, Ashley took a sip of soybean milk and asked, "how to say?"
"Because my assistant and intern agent followed my announcements for most of the time. I don't have much chance to meet
Jasper. Less than five times. So every time he had me something to do, he would say it: 'come to the company!'" Flora said with
a smile. It seemed that she really loved smiling. "So, I have to go to the company very often."
When she imagined the scene that Jasper held the phone with a gloomy face, Ashley couldn't help but laugh.
Other artists who were being trained also came to the company one after another. They were not like Ashley who got up so early,
and of course, they were not as lucky as her to have breakfast prepared. Therefore, they were accustomed to coming to the
company with breakfast after getting up. After the training, they would have breakfast in the meeting room, and then continued
the training courses.
Zoe and Morris came in. Later, another three girls also came in. The five were all surprised to see Flora and greeted her warmly.
Zoe sat next to Flora. "Sister Flora, why did you buy so many snacks?"
Flora smiled, "I planned to store and eat them in case I get hungry. Since we are all here, let's eat together. I'll ask my assistant
to buy some more. "
Zoe happily took a crab cream bun. The others wanted to be modest, but since the assistant had helped them serve the food,
they didn't hesitate anymore.
"Flora, how long have you been an actress by the side of Jasper?"
Flora took tiny bites of the bun elegantly and said, "About five years. What's wrong?"
"I heard that Jasper often choses a newcomer to guide in person. Is that true?"
Hearing this, all the guests raised their heads. They were full of interest.
"Yes, that's true. My performance was not bad in the training, so I was the one chosen by Jasper."
"Then will Jasper choose another new comer this year?
"Well." Flora frowned, "I don't think so. Many of the famous artists have opened their own studios in the past two years. Jasper
might not place more emphasis on training new comers. However, it still depends on the mood of the boss. After all, he is a man
who is more free to do things. "
"If only I could be chosen by the president like Flora." Alice said wistfully.
Hearing that, Flora smiled faintly and looked very attractive. "Then you have to work hard on your training. The one got the
chance to be guided by Jasper were all the most excellent in all aspects."
"Then I have no chance." Alice said, shrugging her shoulders. "Each of them is stronger than me."
"Flora, do you think Jasper will select one of us from the new comers?" Linda asked carefully.
"I don't know. If you have a chance, just ask him."
Linda was speechless, " Will it work? Won't he scold me?"
"No, it's just a random question. I'm sure he won't. It's much better than you're guessing here."
There was an opportunity to ask Jasper about the question. At two o'clock this afternoon, there would be a period testing. The
agent of the new comer would attend the meeting. As the top leader, Jasper would also participate in the assessment.
This morning, as usual, they were practicing physical fitness in the gym. After lunch, they returned to the company and rested for
a while. At 1:30, they entered the studio to prepare for the test. The exam involved four major subjects, such as music, shape,
dance, and improvisational performance.
After a while, more than a dozen of people came in one after another, each holding a notebook and a pen and sitting down in the
audience.
"Do you know them?" Zoe prodded Morris.
Morris said, "how do I know? Ask Roya. She knows it better than me."
"Roya, do you know them?"
"There are three men and one woman sitting on the judge seats. They are all the powerful agents of Shengshi Group. Do you
see the only woman? She's Cleo. She's the agent of Aimee, the top artist in Shengshi."
As soon as they heard Aimee, everyone else, including Ashley, drew a deep breath. Ashley didn't know whether others know
about the past of Aimee and Jasper. But from the point of view of Ashley, if a woman who dared to poach an actress from Jasper
and let her be the top one in the company, Cleo could definitely be as great as Jasper in cultivating artists.
Roya continued, "they are Griffith Zhang, Dave Wang and Sansa Kong from let to right. Oh, by the way, the Sansa was Sean's
agent."
All of them took a deep breath.
Said Zoe, in a particularly excited tone. "Friends, go ahead to compete with the boss. I'll choose Sansa."
"Cleo is good. If I can't choose Jasper, Cleo is also a nice choice." Said Ashley.
"You want to choose Cleo?" Asked Linda.
"It's just an objective evaluation. I'll choose whoever select me." Said Ashley.
"Lucia, who are the people behind the judges?" Alice asked.
"The people behind the judges should be internship broker. They are not allowed to bring their artists to the court separately, so
they must be here to watch." Roya said.
"Why are you staring at such nobody?" Linda mocked.
"Ask whatever we don't understand." "Why hasn't he come yet? I want to see what he looks like. He has been here for a month,
but I don't know what he looks like."
"I heard that Jasper is very handsome." Zoe snickered at them and said, "if you're willing to recommend yourself, maybe you can
just be chosen by our boss."
As soon as Zoe said that, the girls began to beat her.
"Don't punch in my face. I'll have to go to the stage for test later..."
The evaluation began on time at two o'clock, but Jasper didn't show up. Roya looked at the door, "do you think Jasper will come
today?"
"Lucia, have you ever seen the boss? Is he really handsome? " Alice also looked at the door and asked.
"Yes, I have. He's very handsome." A very gentle voice.
Ashley couldn't help but look at Roya. She was very familiar with the expectation and demeanor in the Roya's eyes. What was
wrong with Roya? Hadn't Lynn warned her niece before?
"Now, let's invite Morris to sing legend, accompanied by Roya's clarinet. There was a host sitting in the audience, introducing the
show with a microphone.
Morris was acknowledged as the most talented person in music circle. For the first time, the vocal music teacher of the training
listened to his singing, he was quite shocked and praised that his voice had been kissed by an angel. You can imagine how good
his voice was.
And Roya was good at playing with all kinds of Chinese and Western musical instruments. Although she was not the best, she
was good enough to be on the stage.
With Roya was playing the melodious flute, Morris squinted his eyes and sung the song into the microphone.
"Just because I looked at you in the crowd"
A clear and hoarse voice suddenly pierced through the eardrums of everyone in the studio. It was as fascinating as a passionate
lover's honeyed words.
All people sitting in the judges' seats got excited.
Jasper walked in. But it did no influence on Morris at all. However, Roya made two mistakes
on the notes when she saw Jasper. After the performance, Roya was still upset.
"Ashley's solo: Rose life!"
Hearing her name, Ashley took a deep breath and stood up.Zoe cheered her on in a low voice.
Rose life was the first melody she played in her music class in university. That was the first time she heard this song. She heard
the version of Aoi Teshima. Since then, Ashley had a terrible love for Aoi Teshima. The soft and lonely humming hit her soul
deeply. The most elegant and wonderful state in her imagination was just the state of Aoi Teshima song.
She opened the lid of the piano, and put her fingers on the keys. After hundreds of times of refinement, the notes naturally
emitted from her fingers. Immersed in leisurely melody, Ashley open her mouth and sang, "Hold me close and hold me fast"
"The magic spell you cast"
Sitting in the outermost judge seat, Jasper focused his eyes on the girl on the stage. Her voice was lazy and leisurely, not as
clear as Morris, but with unique calm and enthusiasm.
