next stop king

After walking at the end of the team for about 10 minutes, Arimori Hideichi and his team walked into a theater-like room with a wide wooden stage under the leadership of the staff.

Dim and oppressive, looking at the only light source on the high platform, the huge room was surrounded by darkness.As far as the naked eye could see, apart from the vast stage, all that could be seen were the eight judges lined up below.

Shuichi Yumori didn't know what other people thought.

In the current atmosphere, he, who has always been self-healing, optimistic and cheerful, actually felt a little nervous.It can be seen that the strategy of the LME to test the pressure of the selected artists in the first step has already played its role.

Pressure, the greatest enemy of an entertainer's life!

Whether it is before becoming famous or after becoming famous, this aspect is always indispensable.If these unsatisfactory problems are not well adjusted, the light ones will lose their accuracy in the performance and gradually be forgotten by the world, and the serious ones may temporarily be tempted to despise their own lives and do things that make relatives and friends heartbroken.

Understanding the other party's thoughts, Arimori Hideichi followed the staff forward while deliberately slowing down his breathing rate.

After trying hard to adjust for a few minutes, when all of them stood on the stage, his heartbeat, which had been a little racing before, completely calmed down.

The nine candidates stood on the stage lined up from left to right. Just when they were about to look at the nameplates under the stage and recognize who they were sitting, the surprised voices from the judges' seats attracted all of them's eyes. past.

"……what?!"

"President, President! Why did you suddenly make such a decision?"

On the left seat in the middle, the man in a suit and leather shoes with his hair combed back meticulously stood up from his seat with a cry as if he had been greatly frightened.

"What, Shang Zhi-jun, I didn't expect such a small matter to scare you like this."

Sitting among everyone, a curly-haired man with a colorful feather hat on his head and a cloak of the same style on his body, with his chin resting on the table, looked sadly at the left and right sides.

"If you want to blame, blame the previous 300 little guys for being too boring."

"The young people selected from several layers of screening are so uncharacteristic. Could it be that you are trying to suffocate me to death here?"

"President, what you said is really..."

When the heads of various departments on the left and right heard their boss say this, they really couldn't feel anything other than depression and helplessness and a moment of weakness in their bodies.

It's rare for their president to be serious today, and he didn't make any shocking appearances, but he didn't expect to ask to change the questions of the test session now.

Can't you change it?

nonsense!Of course not!

Let me ask you, do you know what the fate of wage earners is?

The boss opened his mouth, and the younger brother broke his leg.

"Okay, inspired by love, I announce that the test topic for this group of candidates is—to perform the specialties filled in their respective profiles!"

With one order, it doesn't matter how other people around will react.

After waving his hand and asking the staff to take down the group list and prepare various things that might be used, the man known as the president straightened up and put his legs on the table to stare at the young man on the stage. People observe.

Perform your own specialty? !

Hearing this news, Arimori Hideichi couldn't help but glared down at the man who made such a decision.

How is he feeling now?What else can it feel like!

He only knows one thing, he's in fucking trouble!Do you know what is written in the column of his specialty?Tea ceremony!

So tedious and demanding things that can't be completed in a few hours are put in this test, and you can know the result without even thinking about it!

Shaking his head, he followed the staff who asked them to step down, and took a last look at the stage where various props had begun to be arranged. For a moment, he really couldn't say anything other than a wry smile in his heart.

Well, let him try it anyway.Give up without even trying, it's not that they have the style of the Mori family!

"There is Sen-kun, there is Sen-kun?"

"Ah!? You are..."

Amidst the greetings that suddenly sounded beside him, Arimori Hideichi suddenly came back to his senses, smiled and cast a puzzled look at the woman who waved her hand in front of him to show her existence.

"Arimori-kun, I'm Sachiko who brought you here just now."

"First of all, I must apologize for the inconvenience caused to everyone by our president. But next, I must ask you to accept this changed reality."

In the woman's apologetic voice, she could only see that she opened the folder in her hand, quickly turned to one of the pages and read it carefully before raising her head and continuing to speak.

"The specialty in your profile is the tea ceremony. While preparing the corresponding props for you, do you have any other requirements?"

"Are you..."

Arimori Hideichi originally wanted to ask, do you treat everyone like this?

But before he could utter the words, what he saw out of the corner of his eyes made him understand that LME really deserves to be the strongest and largest brokerage company in the entire country.

I saw the other eight candidates standing beside a staff member wearing a uniform and holding a folder in his hand. As for the topic they were talking about with the young man in front of them, you don’t need to ask. the same.

"There is Mori-kun?"

"I'm sorry, I was really rude."

I sincerely apologized, and thought a little bit about the things that didn't play the slightest role in this test.

Arimori Shuichi seriously went through the entire performance process in his mind several times, and after making a final decision in his mind, he said his request word by word.

"Sister Xingzi, I don't have any special requirements for the tea sets used in the tea ceremony. It's just that I have to ask you to help me light the charcoal and water first."

"You also know that this is a test related to whether you can become an actor. If you spend all your time grinding tea, lighting a fire, and boiling water, I won't even have time to cry if I'm eliminated."

With a handsome face in mourning, he tried his best to make a pitiful and loving expression towards the other party, until a chuckle came from his ear, Yumori Shuichi knew that the most critical matter had been resolved by him.

"Hee hee, I understand, I understand, my sister will definitely help you. Light the charcoal fire and boil the water? Are there any other requirements?"

"Clothes, obviously there are clothes, sister."

Arimori Shuichi continued to carry forward his sweet-talking offensive, taking advantage of the previous success and continued to work hard.He pointed to the stylish and simple clothes on his body, spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders with a helpless and helpless look on his face.

"It's really..."

"Okay, okay, who told me to be optimistic about you. According to the height on your profile, just prepare a simple and clean kimono, right?"

"Well, that's it! I leave everything to you, sister Sachiko."

His hands were clasped, and his bright eyes shone with gratitude.

He opened his arms and gently embraced the woman in front of him, and after saying thank you in her ear, Arimori Hideichi, with a gentle smile on his lips, watched the other person walk away with blushing cheeks and frivolous steps.

Thoughtful?

how come.

Not to mention that the demands he made were all within the allowed range of this test, it is far from enough to say that what he deliberately showed was enough to captivate this seasoned LME employee.

The other party is willing to help him because he is optimistic about him and wants to form a good relationship in advance. Otherwise, do you think there are so many kind-hearted people in the world?

What a joke.

Standing in the aisle, looking at the other candidates who were either nervous or trying to calm down, Arimori Hideichi knew that he would never be in a hurry for this performance.

Tea sets and other utensils should be handed over to the staff to prepare. His main job is to make the whole tea ceremony as vivid and artistic as possible.

On the surface, this is a specialty performance.

But don't forget what they are here for!

show!

Isn't it just bringing all aspects of life into the play?Let him try it this time, and see what effect this family skill honed under his grandfather's teaching can play.

"No. 460 No. [-], Qing Uesugi."

"After hearing your name, please come on stage and start performing."

With the sound of the calling number coming from the speaker, Shuichi Arimori knew...

The show begins!
