A Chance To Become An Adonis

Chapter 264: More than qualified

Chapter 264: More than qualified

"Thank you so much for your praise!" Zhang Jian bows. He couldn't believe he would receive such praise. Bo Ping was somebody he looked up to a lot when he was a child. 

'Calm down, Zhang Jian.' Zhang Jian almost broke down into tears. To hear his hero say he could go the distance meant a lot. 

If it weren't for the fact he was still in front of the judges, he might have fainted!

However, what brought them together was the crowd's chanting. Zhang Jian raises his fist up, making the crowd chant even more!

...

"Boss, did you know that this was going to happen?" Duan Huiling turns over to Lu Chen, not looking at the screen. 

"No, I only helped him a bit. Zhang Jian works well when there is an objective. It helps him zero in. I only gave him a slight push."

There were two options Lu Chen could have taken with Zhang Jian. One was to force Zhang Jian to go on stage and sing. And the other was to guilt-trip Zhang Jian to get him to sing. 

Of course, Lu Chen knew he couldn't go through with the first option.  It wouldn't be right, and Zhang Jian's mind wouldn't be in the right place.

On the other hand, the other option helped a lot. It'll give Zhang Jian a goal to move forward.

"Of course, I expect Zhang Jian to pass. However, the rest was all of his doing. He exceeded everything I thought."

But Duan Huiling thought differently. 'Don't downplay your role.' Lu Chen's understanding of Zhang Jian was the main factor. 

It felt like everything was going all according to Lu Chen's plan. 

Zhang Jian came backstage, and the two look at each other. The two didn't say anything and just clap their hands together.

"You did good."

"But I gotta keep going strong." Zhang Jian sighs. With how much the crowd loved him, that meant he had to work harder. 

The higher the expectation, the higher the cost. Zhang Jian knows it's an opening for him to lose it all. 

"Don't worry about it for now. Right now, the crowds are treating you like you won the whole thing." Lu Chen laughs. With 4 judges giving him full marks, Zhang Jian will go onto the next stage. 

"Don't worry about it for now. There are people here to support you." LU Chen smiles as he continues, "And look at how others are looking at you."

Zhang Jian turned over to the other people, and they were looking at him with awe. He has the looks and the talent to become one of the top idols. 

The people who were mocking him before are nowhere to be found. 

"You know, this feels really nice." Zhang Jian felt like he's on cloud nine. 

Lu Chen chuckles and turns to Duan Huiling, "Don't you think he's more than qualified to join our company?" He hasn't forgotten the entire reason why they joined.

"..." 'Why did you have to bring it up now, boss?' Duan Huiling didn't know what to say to that. She didn't expect her boss would bring it up now. 

But how could she say no now? Zhang Jian could easily become a top idol in any company. Even in the big-name ones. 

For her boss to be friends with this talent was so lucky. 

Duan Huiling coughs, "Of course, I'm all for it for Zhang Jian to join our company." If she said no, it would be shooting herself in the foot.

Zhang Jian smiles, "It's a pleasure to be working for you, big sister." 

"Seconded." Duan Huiling didn't say anymore as she turns to the screen, looking at the next person up. The host tried to introduce him. But the audience kept cheering for Zhang Jian. 

"It seems you got die heart fans." Lu Chen laughs when he saw how the crowd reacted. 

"I feel bad for the guy." The moment Zhang Jian started singing, Lu Chen felt pity for the next person.

Whoever's going next is going to have a hard time. Who could work under the pressure of something like that?

Duan Huiling nods her head, while Zhang Jian scratches in embarrassment. Lu Chen continues, "The guy wasn't bad. But with how the crowd is against him, it's affecting his mind."

The show went into commercials after the guy. With what happened, the director of the show wanted the audience to calm down again. 

"What do you want to eat?" With Zhang Jian finished, he would need something in his stomach.

"Can you get me something filling?"

"On it." Before Lu Chen left,

"Hello, contestant Zhang Jian."
