Contract Marriage: Let's Make It Real, Mrs. Sterling!-Chapter 165: Sober Among the Drunken Crowd
Just as they were about to continue talking, the phone on the table rang, and the director immediately picked it up.
On the other end, Cameron Grant said, "I just asked Jensen Sterling, he’s accepted this schedule."
The director excitedly slapped his thigh—success!
"Alright, we’ll contact you later for follow-up work."
After exchanging a few more words, they hung up the phone.
After hanging up, the director turned around, trying his best to act calm as he looked at the people around him with varied expressions.
Slowly placing his hands behind his back, he coughed a couple times and then said in an extremely calm voice, "Ahem... By the way, Jensen Sterling has agreed to record our show."
"Prepare to send the contract over to their staff."
Everyone around: "...!!!"
Each person was momentarily stunned, and it took a while for them to react. Looking at the director, their voices trembling with excitement, they asked, "Jensen Sterling agreed?!!"
They were so excited that they didn’t even bother with calling him ’Emperor Jensen,’ his name just popped right out.
The others had the same expression, as if they’d seen a ghost.
It was unbelievable, Jensen Sterling, who had only taken a handful of variety shows since his debut, and those all for promotional purposes, now accepted an invitation for a talent show.
"It’s going to explode, the show’s ratings will definitely explode again, certainly higher than when he came the first time."
That time was just a fluke, but this time he’s legitimately participating, the two can’t even be compared!
Once everyone reacted, they were instantly excited, laughing heartily and grabbing the director to ask, "Director, tell us, how did you know Emperor Jensen would agree."
"Give me the phone, I would never have dared to call."
The director calmly lifted his eyelids, his voice slowly saying, "Nothing much, I just tried randomly, what if it succeeded, right."
No way it was a random try; he had suspected this for a long time.
He had enough reason to make the call, enough confidence that Jensen Sterling would accept the invitation.
Then he glanced at the excited and incredulous people around him and said, "Alright, discuss together who else and what groups to invite."
After speaking, he walked out seeming very calm, but once the door closed, his calm demeanor couldn’t hold, visibly excited. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
He really had gotten Jensen Sterling to accept the invitation. To be honest, he was just guessing, hence he tried; unexpectedly, it really worked.
This time it’s indeed a big win.
Listening to the noise inside again, he coughed twice, patted his clothes twice, and regained his usual composure.
He chuckled twice to himself, proudly thinking: You all can’t guess, only I know.
Very much a feeling of being the only sober one amid the drunken crowd!
Then with hands behind his back, swaggered away.
...
As time went by, the night of final formation drew closer, and now the number of people in "Shining Stars" had reduced from ninety-nine at the beginning to eighteen.
Many people were eliminated, but Vivian Summers wasn’t only spared; she’d discovered her potential during the first public performance in Mia Sutton’s group, now even breaking into the top ten rankings.
Meanwhile, Mia Sutton maintained the first place in rankings consistently, unlike Lynn Joyner whose ranking had changed, Mia’s position was immovable.
There was even a period when netizens joked, Mia Sutton is as solid as iron while the second place is as fluid as water!
