[System Divine Nine: Host, I didn’t expect you to use the prophet’s function on something like this.]
Lauren said, “Hmph, since he dares to doubt me, then I’ll make sure he doesn’t get to eat meat!”
With Lauren’s prophecy and Franklin’s active help, Lauren’s bowl was filled to the top with all types of food. All the rice was covered with meat and vegetables.
“Franklin, I also want to eat meat.” Quinn pitifully stretched the bowl to Franklin, trying to gain sympathy.
“If you want to eat meat, buy it yourself.” Franklin replied coldly as he was still angry.
Just when Lauren was feasting on her food, and Quinn had nothing much left to eat, a gust of wind suddenly blew at the door.
Mr. Hayes, who was eating, looked at the fluttering curtain and asked curiously, “Why is the wind suddenly blowing?”
Lauren chewed on her chicken drumstick as she beamed at the ghosts that were lining up at the entrance.
She raised her head and looked at the clock. The ghosts were very punctual. She had asked them to come back before seven o’clock, and they had really arrived just on time.
These ghosts were all affixed with talisman papers by Lauren. Moreover, after being suppressed by the soul storage device, the energy on their bodies had already weakened.
Right now, they were just a bunch of ghosts that could only float around. Therefore, the energy of the Torres family did not affect them much.
Under George’s leadership, they entered the soul storage device, which they were very familiar with, on their own accord.
Lauren looked at this group of well-trained ghosts with satisfaction. Then, she raised her eyes and accidentally met Franklin’s gaze.
Oh no, Franklin’s heavenly eye was not switched off! Luckily, Franklin did not get angry, nor did he make any noise.
After a great feast, Lauren felt full and satisfied.
Lauren had nothing to do for the next two days. Her plan had to be put on hold as George did not receive any mission.
On the other hand, Quinn’s situation was the exact opposite to Lauren.
Ever since Quinn’s commercial was aired, his popularity had been rising. The incident at the previous event had also caused his popularity to skyrocket.
In just two to three days, Quinn had gained hundreds of thousands of followers on Instagram.
His agent, Pauline Walker, had also received many job offers for Quinn.
Quinn woke up very early in the morning. Before the sun had even risen, he got into the car that his agent had arranged for him.
Pauline was indeed a dedicated agent. Her desk was already covered with all sorts of documents by the time Quinn arrived at her office. It looked like she had been working for quite some time.
“You’re here? We’re going to go through our schedule today. There are three movie auditions here. Do you have any interest in them?”
“We’re going to attend an event at the agency in the afternoon. I’ll introduce you to some contacts from the same agency. We’ll have more resources in the future if we get to know more people.”
Quinn nodded obediently.
The audition scripts for the three movies were placed on the table. He glanced at them. He had never seen the names of these directors before.
He frowned and flipped through them. The script was also very bad. They were all melodramatic plots, and the content of the three scripts was all about the growing up pain of youth.
Pauline was able to tell that Quinn was not interested.
“It can’t be helped as you’ve just returned from overseas. Although you’ve gained exposure and fame, your foundation isn’t stable.?Also, you are still a greenhorn. So, getting a good script now will be quite impossible.”
A good movie script was hard to come by. If a newbie was chosen by a good director, he would be able to make a meteoric rise to fame.
“Let’s wait. There’ll be a chance since you are so good looking.”
Quinn nodded. Apart from waiting, there was no other way.
“However, if you don’t seize this opportunity right in front of your eyes now, there won’t be another opportunity after this.”
Quinn was confused when Pauline suddenly mentioned this.
Where did this opportunity come from?
“The movie industry is not as simple as you think. You can’t just work hard. Sometimes, you have to take a shortcut.”
Quinn recalled the gossipy news he had read and subconsciously tightened his collar.
Pauline caught Quinn’s movements and laughed. “That’s not what I meant. You don’t have to sacrifice yourself.”
“What do you mean then? What shortcuts are there?”
By investing money?
Of course, this was a good idea. Franklin was his brother and it was not impossible for him to bring in his brother to invest.
“Shortcuts are not something that can be found everywhere. You will know when you encounter them.”
Quinn was confused by Pauline’s ambiguous comments.
They soon ended the conversation about ‘shortcuts’. The two of them talked seriously about Quinn’s future role and development path.
Golden Star was the agency that Quinn signed on with, and it was the most famous agency in the country.
Golden Star had produced many top-notched actors and actresses in movies and TV series. The number of artistes under its management was small, but the quality was excellent.
Every artiste there had a signature film.
