"Sorry to keep you waiting," Jiang Churan said with an apologetic look.
"That was quick. I haven't even finished touring your cafeteria yet," Jiang Cheng replied with a smile.
Then, his gaze moved from Jiang Churan and landed on Zheng Yang.
When Zheng Yang looked at Jiang Cheng, his expression was clearly filled with arrogance.
Although Jiang Cheng was very handsome, Handsome Guys and beautiful women were a common sight for talent scouts.
He sized Jiang Cheng up with a sharp gaze.
Then he turned to Jiang Churan and said, "Your boyfriend? His physical appearance is quite good. If you're interested, I could recommend your boyfriend as well. What do you think?"
Faced with the sudden job recommendation, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. "Does this mean you're introducing me to a job?"
Jiang Churan, who had been cold-faced until then, couldn't help but laugh out loud after hearing Jiang Cheng's words.
This smile was like a spring flower in bloom, incredibly beautiful.
She rarely joked with Jiang Cheng, "Yes, Big Boss, may I ask if you still need a job?"
Seeing this, Jiang Cheng cooperatively replied, "If there's a good job opportunity, I'd be interested."
Zheng Yang secretly rolled his eyes.
In his eyes, these two were just ordinary students from the Dance Academy.
Although Jiang Cheng was dressed in designer brands, so what?
Students like them, who had no acting experience by their sophomore year, usually came from families with no background.
In the entertainment industry, stars with resources were either child stars or had started making guest appearances in various movies and TV shows very early on.
And students like Jiang Churan, who stayed in school until their sophomore year...
Either they had extremely high artistic pursuits, or they had no background to speak of.
To put it bluntly, even for students from the Dance Academy, without sufficient resources and background, the best they could hope for after graduation was to be a backup dancer.
Forget about becoming a star; they wouldn't even get a chance at the center of the stage.
You have to realize there are thousands of graduates every year. Without some background, how could it be your turn to stand in the most dazzling spot?
Zheng Yang clearly wanted Jiang Cheng to see his capabilities.
So he handed over a business card and introduced himself, "This is my business card. I work as a talent scout, responsible for casting, and I'm currently employed by Hanghai Company."
He originally thought that after seeing this card, Jiang Cheng would be, if not jaw-dropped with surprise, at least ecstatic.
However, much to his surprise, Jiang Cheng not only showed no sign of excitement but instead burst out laughing.
"What do you mean by this?" Zheng Yang asked, looking at Jiang Cheng with a confused expression.
Seeing this, Jiang Churan turned to Jiang Cheng and asked, "Have you heard of Xingchen Entertainment Company?"
Zheng Yang thought Jiang Churan wanted to join that company.
He looked at Jiang Churan with a face full of smiles. "Do you want to join Xingchen Investment Company? Let me tell you, although Xingchen has great momentum right now, they're currently focusing on Su Wan and their girl group. If you go there, you'll just be a supporting player with no future! You're better off coming to our Hanghai Company. We have several TV series currently looking for supporting roles. If your acting is good, you might just become an overnight sensation!"
Jiang Churan turned to look at Jiang Cheng beside her, blinking her large eyes and asking mischievously, "Ah, is that so?"
Seeing Jiang Churan's rare mischievous side, Jiang Cheng shrugged.
He played along, "That's complete nonsense. As long as the conditions are met, the person has talent, and the market feedback is good, Xingchen will give them a chance. Besides, things like taking on roles are voluntary; there's no such thing as being forced to take roles after signing."
"If you put it that way, then Xingchen is actually quite good."
Zheng Yang originally wanted to retort and ask Jiang Cheng what he knew.
But just then, a middle-aged man with glasses and medium-length hair walked toward them.
His previously arrogant expression instantly turned fawning when he saw the middle-aged man.
He immediately went up to greet him with a smile, "Hello, Professor Gao!"
Hearing the voice, Gao Du stopped and glanced at Zheng Yang, then asked in confusion, "Who are you?"
Zheng Yang hurriedly introduced himself and took a business card out of his pocket to hand to Gao Du. "I'm Zheng Yang from Hanghai Company. We met last year at the Huaxia Film and Television Festival."
Obviously, Zheng Yang wanted to show off his connections in front of Jiang Churan and Jiang Cheng.
Gao Du took the business card, looked at it carefully, then nodded and replied in a calm tone, "Oh, hello, hello."
Judging by his expression and tone, he didn't show any particular memory of or interest in Zheng Yang.
Seeing that Gao Du's reaction wasn't very enthusiastic, Zheng Yang could only smile awkwardly and then ask, "Are you eating alone, Professor Gao? Why don't I treat you? That way, it'll be convenient for us to chat."
Gao Du shook his head gently. His face still held a polite smile, but it was clear he didn't want to accept the invitation.
He replied, "Thank you, but no. I have plans to eat with someone. Maybe next time."
After speaking, his gaze began to wander around, as if looking for the person he had an appointment with.
Realizing that Gao Du didn't have much interest in him, Zheng Yang didn't persist.
He nodded to show understanding and said, "Alright, alright. Then I'll treat you tomorrow."
A perfunctory smile appeared on Gao Du's face.
He didn't take Zheng Yang's words to heart at all.
As one of the most senior and prestigious professors at the Kyoto Dance Academy, his name had become synonymous with the entire dance world.
Over the years, he had trained a vast number of students, too many to count.
Most of these students either became internationally renowned dancers or highly-watched stars.
His teaching methods were unique and exquisite, earning him the reputation of a legendary figure in the world of dance education.
Not only that, but he also personally handled the dance rehearsal choreography and production for almost all the major satellite TV stations in Kyoto every year.
His professional knowledge and experience made him an undisputed authority in this field.
Every day, countless people flattered him and tried to win his favor, hoping to gain his recognition and guidance.
Therefore, a lowly talent scout like Zheng Yang was simply not worth mentioning in his eyes.
Seeing that they had finished speaking, Jiang Churan then spoke up and said respectfully, "Hello, Professor Gao."
Gao Du glanced at Jiang Churan and then smiled kindly, "Chu Ran, have you finished rehearsing?"
This official teacher-like question made Jiang Churan look embarrassed, as if she had been caught red-handed.
"Not yet. I just took some time out to have a meal."
Gao Du nodded and looked at Jiang Cheng beside Jiang Churan. Upon doing so, he couldn't help but be a bit stunned.
Because he found that Jiang Cheng looked somewhat familiar.
"Are you the Chairman of Xingchen Company?"
