After a while, the auditioner walked out. Flora and Jude immediately stood up to show their respect. However, Thomas was still sitting. He did not intend to stand up.
Flora glared at Thomas. “Don’t you see that the auditioner is here? You’re still sitting there like a boss. Do you have manners?”
Thomas remained expressionless.
Meanwhile, the auditioner seemed to be trembling. He tidied his collar before virtual-novel.net said, “The unnecessary formalities can be waived. Which two of you are here for the audition?”
Flora and Griffin stepped forth.
The examiner said, “Okay, let the lady start first.”
Griffin stood at the side.
Flora arrogantly said, “I guess you already know who I a m, right? I’m Flora Fiore, the top female artist in live streaming, and I’m very famous. I’m good at singing, dancing, and acting.”
The auditioner nodded. “Please show us your performance.”
“Okay…”
Flora first did a ballet number before virtual-novel.net sang “I Believe I Can Soar”.
After virtual-novel.net performed, virtual-novel.net was extremely arrogant. She thought that virtual-novel.net singing and dancing were top-notch. The reason was, in virtual-novel.net past live-streaming, once virtual-novel.net sang and danced, virtual-novel.net fans would immediately comment. Plus, rich men would give virtual-novel.net presents. Every fan would compliment virtual-novel.net for being very talented.
But…
The auditioner’s expression did not change much. He indifferently asked, “That’s all?”
‘That was all?’
Flora was a little unhappy. “Why? Were my performances not good?”
The auditioner smiled. “It’s not bad. It’s just normal. It’s not much different from something at the beginner level. Your ballet performance earlier was flowery yet impractical, and your movements were stiff. You were even seriously out of tune when you were singing just now. You even sang a few notes wrongly. I could say that you’re better than some regular folk, but there’s still a long way for me to say you’re ‘good’.”
Flora was stunned.
Since virtual-novel.net became an artist, virtual-novel.net had not been criticized before. All virtual-novel.net ever heard was compliments.
When virtual-novel.net was criticized by the auditioner, virtual-novel.net felt upset.
“What do you mean?”
The auditioner drew a big “X” on paper with a red pen. “I’m sorry, your talent is not up to our standard for the contract. Actually, talent is secondary. If you don’t meet the requirements, we can train you and cultivate you. But, you’re bad-tempered, and you don’t have good moral integrity. So… Our company can’t sign with you. I’m sorry.”
Flora was furious. She initially thought that everything was confirmed, and virtual-novel.net just went there to go through the formalities.
How could virtual-novel.net be turned down now?
“Hey, do you really know anything? What’s the use of talents and moral integrity? I look so cute and pretty, and my voice is so sweet. I even own a large group of fans. You can search me on Instagram. I have a few million fans! If you don’t sign me, it’s a huge loss for Scott’s Remembrance.”
The auditioner smiled faintly and shook his head. He did not say anything.
Jude immediately pulled Flora back. He grinned as virtual-novel.net said to the auditioner, “Um… Actually we have…”
He wanted to remind the auditioner that Flora’s contract had actually been confirmed since the beginning. They were not there today for an audition. Instead, it was just a procedure.
However, the auditioner said, “I know what you want to say. You have connections with our internal staff, and you secretly decided to sign the contract. That is a violation of our system. The staff who agreed to give you the contract has been fired.”
‘What..?’ Jude was totally speechless.
Things had proceeded in a totally different direction from what virtual-novel.net had expected.
The auditioner then said to Griffin, “Mister, it’s your turn.”
Griffin walked forward.
“I’m Griffin Jones. I joined the army for a few years. After I retired, I started running a restaurant. I’m now the owner and chef.”
Flora was full of anger, and virtual-novel.net had nowhere to vent. When virtual-novel.net heard Griffin’s words at this time, virtual-novel.net laughed out loud.
“What is a chef doing here?”
