Film and Television Overview: Starting from the Same Window

"I don't understand."

Lu Qiaochuan shook his head, quite frankly.

"I don't understand why you're applying?" the minister asked curiously.

Lu Qiaochuan said, "Because I looked at the brochures carefully, it seemed like each club had a lot of things to do, but when I thought about it carefully, I didn't really know what they were supposed to do. So I thought I didn't really understand these clubs. But I think no matter which club I join, as long as I work hard, it will be the same for my personal growth."

Upon hearing this, the head of the Development Department laughed: "Kid, you're too honest. Our Development Department only helps out when the school organizes events. If that's the case, would you still be interested?"

"Yes!" Lu Qiaochuan affirmed.

"Okay, you've passed the interview." The head of the business development department nodded and stamped the application with a seal.

Five meters away, Ren Yifan asked, "Brother Zhong, do you think Mr. Lu will pass the interview?"

Zhong Bai said, "Lu Qiaochuan is so smart, he'll definitely pass."

Zhou Shengchen chuckled coldly: "So you mean you won't pass because you're stupid?"

Zhong Bai glared at Zhou Shengchen: "You're deliberately misinterpreting me! Besides, who said we didn't pass? Today I'm going to show you how I passed the interview."

"Then I'll wait and see!" Zhou Shengchen said playfully.

A short while later, Lu Qiaochuan returned.

He briefly recounted his interview process to everyone.

After he finished speaking, Zhong Bai frowned slightly: "Isn't there anything else? This seems too simple!"

"No!" Lu Qiaochuan shook his head and said, "Actually, just telling the truth is enough..."

"This is way too easy!"

Ren Yifan excitedly went to the interview.

After handing the application to the minister, Ren Yifan introduced himself, saying, "My name is Ren Yifan, I'm a freshman, and I study Spanish."

"Do you have any special skills?" the deputy minister asked.

Ren Yifan raised an eyebrow and said with a grin, "My specialty is excellent aesthetic sense!"

His answer made everyone in the two marketing departments laugh.

However, this answer did not satisfy them. The deputy minister asked in a businesslike manner, "Is there anything practical?"

Ren Yifan said, "I can play the guitar."

Then the head of the business development department took out a guitar from under the table and asked Ren Yifan to try playing it to see if he could really play the guitar.

Ren Yifan's smile froze; he hadn't expected the Travel and Development Department to actually have a guitar.

Ren Yifan took the guitar and began to play with exaggerated expressions.

The guitar sound was indescribable.

"This guy is definitely doing this on purpose," Zhou Shengchen muttered to himself as he listened to Ren Yifan's guitar playing from a distance.

This guy used to sing and play the guitar very well at the party on the last day of military training, but now he plays like someone who has never touched a guitar before. There's definitely something wrong.

Zhou Shengchen guessed that Ren Yifan might not like Xingtuo Department, so he deliberately played a very poor 4.2.

And indeed, just as Zhou Shengchen thought, Ren Yifan only wanted to slack off and chase girls. As for the troublesome Xingtuo Department, it was not his ideal club.

At the recruitment office, after Ren Yifan finished playing the guitar, the vice minister smiled and said to the minister, "This is the first person to play guitar today. How many do you think we'll see before five o'clock?"

Ren Yifan interjected, "In this world, besides language, there are two other ways to communicate: painting and music. The music I just played expressed my understanding and pursuit of this world. I don't know if you all noticed it."

The minister suppressed a laugh: "I could tell."

The deputy minister said speechlessly, "There's only random noise pollution. As for what you mentioned, I'm sorry, I didn't hear anything. So, oh, sorry, you might not be a good fit for our Business Development Department." With that, he returned the application form to Ren Yifan.

Chapter 72: A World That Judges by Appearance

After Ren Yifan went back and recounted his interview experience, he feigned regret and said, "They couldn't understand. I really feel sorry for them."

"Sigh~" Lu Qiaochuan sighed deeply, speechless, "Let's lament your low IQ first!"

Ren Yifan snorted coldly: "Although you were selected, this statement is excessive. You have hurt a young man who has ideals for music."

"What kind of ideals do you have for music? Are you sure you didn't learn guitar to pick up girls?" Zhou Shengchen sneered.

Ren Yifan: "...Mr. Zhou, you're going too far! You should have just kept it to yourself, why did you have to say it out loud?"

"To be honest, Ren Yifan, what you played just now was really awful," Zhong Bai said, rolling his eyes.

Ren Yifan curled his lip: "You think it sounds bad because you have no sense of music at all."

After saying that, he raised an eyebrow at Li Shuci: "What do you think?"

"Hard to hear."

Li Shuci said very seriously.

Upon hearing this, Ren Yifan grinned and said, "Beautiful women are just so great; to put it bluntly, they're all so adorable."

Zhong Bai rolled his eyes, stood directly between the two of them, and instructed Li Shuci: "Shuci, when you go later, don't be nervous, don't tell the truth, be an ice queen."

"Ren Yifan was rejected, so Lu Qiaochuan and I definitely can't go. I'm not going to the interview now."

“I can’t be in the same club as you anymore, but if anyone bullies you, come find Zhou Shengchen. He’s good at fighting, so ask him to beat those people up.”

Li Shuci nodded and went for the interview.

After she left, Zhou Shengchen said to Zhong Bai, "Beautiful Zhong, you're quite good at bossing people around!"

Zhong Bai retorted confidently, "We're all in the same class, what's this about ordering someone around? I don't believe you'd just stand by and watch Shuci get bullied."

"Of course not," Zhou Shengchen said with a smile. "Shuci is so cute and adorable, only I can bully her, no one else can."

"Get lost!" Zhong Bai said irritably. "Don't you dare have any ulterior motives towards Shuci."

Zhou Shengchen pursed his lips and ignored her.

At this moment, Ren Yifan suddenly leaned close to Zhong Bai's ear and said, "I feel like Shuci is going to faint in a minute."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Bai shook his head: "Shu Ci is indeed a bit introverted, but she's not as weak as you think."

Li Renyi snorted, clearly not believing it.

Zhou Shengchen interjected, "This is a world that judges by appearances. Even if Shuci doesn't say anything, those two guys will still recruit her. After all, it's pleasing to the eye to have a beautiful woman by your side."

Zhong Bai frowned slightly: "This...this can't be that bad, can it?"

"Zhong Bai, what's not serious?"

Just then, Li Shuci returned.

"Shuci?" Zhong Bai asked in surprise, "How did you get accepted so quickly? Were you not admitted?"

"I've been accepted," Li Shuci said obediently.

Zhong Bai looked puzzled: "Didn't they ask any questions? Otherwise, how could they have finished so quickly?"

Li Shuci raised the corner of her eye slightly: "They only asked me what my name was."

After hearing Li Shuci's words and recalling his own interview experience, Ren Yifan couldn't help but curse, "These old perverts, didn't they write their names on the application form?"

"This world that judges people by their looks is hopeless," Lu Qiaochuan sighed.

Zhou Shengchen smoothed his hair and said with a smile, "This world is indeed not very friendly to you ugly monsters, but it's different for me, this peerless handsome man."

"cut!"

The three members of the Zhong-Bai trio spoke in unison.

Ren Yifan said, "Let's go, let's go to the next club."

“Yes, let’s go!” Zhong Bai echoed.

"Zhong Bai, are you really not going to give this club a try?" Li Shuci asked, holding Zhong Bai's hand.

Zhong Bai shook his head: "I agreed with the two of them to join the same club, but Ren Yifan didn't get in, so I can only accompany him to the next interview. Also, it doesn't matter whether they got in based on their looks or not, as long as they get in, that's good."

After saying that, she went with Lu Qiaochuan and Ren Yifan to the next club interview.

"Aren't you going with them?" Li Shuci asked, looking at Zhou Shengchen who hadn't moved.

Zhou Shengchen shook his head: "I'm not going."

Li Shuci responded with an "oh," and softly asked, "Which club did you join?"

Zhou Shengchen said, "Tea Ceremony Club."

"A tea ceremony club? What's that?"

"It's a club about drinking and appreciating tea."

"Is it easy to get into your club?"

"It's very easy to get in; as long as someone applies, they can get in."

"what?"

"When I joined the club, it was just the club president and no one else."

"..."

After chatting with Li Shuci for a while, Zhou Shengchen suddenly received a call from Duan Jiaxu, who thanked him for introducing him to a job that would make money.

They also said that the three of them discussed it and, to thank Zhou Shengchen for facilitating this cooperation, decided to give Zhou Shengchen a reward once things were settled.

Zhou Shengchen refused outright, saying that he would be happy to treat him to a meal when he had time, and that the small reward was unnecessary.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Shengchen opened his phone's monitoring system to check the progress at the villa. He found that the progress was pretty good; the furniture inside was almost finished, and the kitchen and toilet had been renovated. It was estimated that it would take four or five days to complete.

"Looks like I won't be able to stay at the villa for the Mid-Autumn Festival," Zhou Shengchen thought to himself.

"Buzz!"

Just as Zhou Shengchen was lost in thought, his phone vibrated.

"Hey, Huangfu, you and Fan Xiaoyu went downstairs. Where am I? Let me see. I'm near the Publicity Department. Come find me there."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Shengchen took his cell phones and headed straight for the Publicity Department.

"Excuse me, are you here for an interview too? Please wait in line." Huang Yanwu, deputy director of the publicity department, said to Zhou Shengchen, who had suddenly walked over.
