Tiny Genius Alert! Mom & Dad Better Make Peace-Chapter 488 - 455: Jun, Stay Cool and Listen to Brother Huo
Guan Yu sat in his chair spinning around in boredom, "Brother Huo, are we still continuing the interviews?"
The man’s side profile, with its striking features, resembled the awe-inspiring nobles from Western oil paintings. From the side, his thick, long lashes could easily conceal the emotions in his eyes with a gentle flutter.
He stood up from the chair, boasting an impressive height of 187 cm, with perfectly long legs and a strong and upright figure that could fulfill any woman’s dream appearance of a partner.
"If you’re bored, you can continue." Huo Shaojun’s voice was consistently deep, with an unintended chill in his words, appearing aloof and keeping people at a distance.
Guan Yu’s mouth twitched a couple of times, fixed the chair, and shook his slightly dizzy head as he got up from it, "Brother Huo, what I’m going to say next is just my personal opinion, so don’t take it seriously."
Huo Shaojun narrowed his cold eyes, looking at Guan Yu with a slight chill, "If you don’t want me to take it seriously, what’s the point of saying it?"
Guan Yu already had a function that automatically blocked Huo Shaojun’s caustic remarks. Ignoring what he said, Guan Yu continued, "I think your little childhood friend, there’s no chance."
Huo Shaojun’s eyes darkened, and he said coldly, "How do you know!"
"You can see it! Your little childhood friend had no reaction when she heard your name, acting like she doesn’t even know you. Plus, she’s ambitious and wants to become a big producer. Could she really settle for being your little assistant, just doing odd jobs?" Guan Yu shook his head, drawing a conclusion, "So, no chance!"
Huo Shaojun squinted his eyes and said eerily, "You’re so good at analysis; is it belittling you to be my manager? How about..."
"Brother Huo, I suddenly feel that your little childhood friend won’t be able to escape and will be eager to report in tomorrow." Guan Yu’s ability to adapt to circumstances was absolutely top-notch.
Huo Shaojun snorted coldly, "If she doesn’t come tomorrow, then you don’t need to come either!"
Guan Yu, "..." Wide noodle tears, how could it be like this?!
"What exactly is going on?"
After coming out of New锐 Film and Television, Jian Liangtong tugged heavily at the business card in her hand, her expression furious, as if she were tearing not a card but a person, muttering something under her breath. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Jin Jumo asked her several times, but she didn’t answer her.
Jin Jumo felt that ever since she came out of the interview room, she seemed a bit off, not quite normal.
Frowning, she grabbed her hand, and Jin Jumo simply stood in front of her, asking.
Jian Liangtong’s almond eyes shone brightly as she stared at Jin Jumo, biting her lower lip tightly, she squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth, "I, absolutely, will, not, go!"
"..." Jin Jumo’s peach blossom eyes narrowed, what on earth does that mean?!
At G University, inside the book bar.
Jin Jumo and Jian Liangtong ordered mango juice and lemon juice respectively and sat in a corner against the wall in the book bar.
Jin Jumo pursed her lips, looking at the girl desperately drinking lemon juice, "You mean, Huo Shaojun wants you to be his personal assistant?"
"Yeah." Jian Liangtong looked up and gave Jin Jumo a glance, pulling a bitter face as she spoke.
Jin Jumo held her cup in one hand and fiddled with the straw in the other, slightly lowering her thick lashes, "Don’t want to go?"
"No!" Jian Liangtong downed a glass of lemon juice in one go, stood up, and grabbed her bag to leave.
"Where are you going?"
"Dormitory."
"..." Jin Jumo speechlessly glanced at the untouched mango juice beside her, grabbed her bag, and followed.
That afternoon, just as Jin Jumo returned to the G University dormitory from Nan Jing Apartment, Jian Liangtong came over.
Jin Jumo felt a bit tired, her legs weak, and as Jian Liangtong came in, she instinctively tugged at her collar, sitting on a stool looking at her.
"Next Wednesday, New锐 Film and Television is coming to our university for recruitment, you should prepare." Jian Liangtong said as she walked in.
"Are they hiring voice actors?" Jin Jumo’s lashes flickered slightly as she asked.
"They’re mainly hiring voice actors." Jian Liangtong replied.
Jin Jumo covered her lashes, "I see."
Jian Liangtong pulled over a stool and sat in front of Jin Jumo, tilting her head to stare at her.
Jin Jumo lifted her lashes to look at her, her eyes slightly wavering, "What?"
"You don’t look too good, is Aunt Flo visiting?" Jian Liangtong said as she reached out to touch Jin Jumo’s face.
"Really?" Jin Jumo turned to look in the mirror, after a few seconds she turned back to Jian Liangtong, "I think I’m fine, don’t I normally look like this?"
Jian Liangtong rolled her eyes, "Don’t I know what you normally look like?"
Jin Jumo chuckled, then changed the subject, "Any film companies recruiting intern producers recently?"
"No." Jian Liangtong sighed in worry.
"Have you considered..."
"No."
Jin Jumo, "..."
"I haven’t even finished speaking yet." Jin Jumo said, both amused and exasperated.
Jian Liangtong blinked awkwardly, mumbling, "I know what you’re going to say."
"Then what am I going to say?" Jin Jumo teased intentionally.
"You’re so annoying." Jian Liangtong pouted, "You clearly know we’re both thinking about the same thing."
"So, you’ve been thinking about this all along?" Jin Jumo raised an eyebrow.
"... Jin Jumo." Jian Liangtong laughed in anger, glaring at her, "Using your cleverness to trick me?"
Jin Jumo tugged at her lips, with bright peach blossom eyes locking onto Jian Liangtong’s slightly red face, "Seriously, you really aren’t considering it, after all..."
"Ju Zi."
Jian Liangtong interrupted Jin Jumo, her beautiful face looked at her seriously, "Do I look like I’m lying to you?"
Jin Jumo’s eyes fixed on her, she stared at her for a long time, gradually smiling, "No matter what you ultimately decide, I’ll support you."
Jian Liangtong giggled again, clinging on to hug Jin Jumo.
Jin Jumo pretended to disdainfully avoid her, but Jian Liangtong feigned aggressiveness and pounced over, locking Jin Jumo’s neck tightly with both hands.
Jin Jumo was pinned against the edge of the table by her, frowning helplessly with a smile, "Jian Liangtong, you’re such a rascal!"
After a pause, Jin Jumo reached out to pat her back, "I can’t deal with you."
"Ju Zi, why don’t you just get a sex change, and then I’ll marry you."
"...Why don’t you?"
"I’m more of a woman than you."
"32A, and you call that a woman?"
"Come on, sis, let me feel your D cup."
"Where’s your decency?"
"Dying under a peony is worth it, who cares about decency?"
"..."
In the evening, Jian Liangtong habitually waited for Jin Jumo to go to dinner together, but after Jin Jumo took a shower, she just climbed into bed and fell into a deep sleep, unable to be woken up no matter what.
Jian Liangtong squeezed in next to her and watched her sleep for a while. Seeing that her complexion really didn’t look well, with her brows furrowed in a look of extreme exhaustion, worried that she might have caught a cold, Jian Liangtong tucked her in and got off the bed, preparing to head to the school infirmary to get her some cold medicine.
Just as she stepped out of the dorm room, her phone rang in her hand.
Jian Liangtong glanced at the phone and saw an unfamiliar number. After a slight hesitation, she picked up the call.
"Is this Jian Liangtong?"
A man’s questioning voice came over the phone.
"Yes, may I ask who is this?" Jian Liangtong asked cautiously, afraid it might be someone she knew but hadn’t saved their number, which could be awkward.
"Oh, it’s me," he said.
"...Could it really be someone I know?"
Jian Liangtong speculated as she walked forward, grinning awkwardly, "And you are?"
"It’s me," he repeated.
Jian Liangtong gritted her teeth lightly, smiling, "Oh~~ it’s you, huh, who are you?"
"Cough, cough, Guan Yu."
Jian Liangtong’s feet quickly halted, her eyes slightly widened, "What’s the matter?"
"Jian, today is the third day. Have you thought it over?" Guan Yu asked merrily.
"Thought what over?" Jian Liangtong lightly pursed her lips, resumed her small steps, turned a corner, and went downstairs.
"Hehe, it’s about coming to be an assistant for our Brother Huo, of course," Guan Yu said.
Jian Liangtong paused for a few seconds, her tone chilly, "Sorry, I’m not interested."
Guan Yu didn’t expect Jian Liangtong’s voice to turn so cold all of a sudden, perhaps feeling awkward as well. He remained silent for quite a while.
Jian Liangtong blinked her long eyelashes, "If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up."
"It’s me."
The male voice coming through the electronic waves of the phone was low, sensual, with an inherent magnetism that made one hold their breath unconsciously.
Jian Liangtong froze in place, her breathing light and shallow.
"Why are you not interested?" he asked. Just from the tone, it was impossible to discern his emotions at that moment.
Jian Liangtong curled her fingertips, uncontrollably picking at her palm, her voice quivering so subtly that even she didn’t notice, "No particular reason."
The other side suddenly went silent.
Jian Liangtong tightened her lips, her downcast almond eyes swirling with unease, her slender body taut and tense.
"What are you interested in then?" he spoke again, seemingly with a hint of helplessness in his voice.
Jian Liangtong’s red lips moved slightly, and she said in a small voice, "I’m just not interested in being someone else’s assistant."
With that said, Jian Liangtong hung up the phone.
Clutching the phone tightly in her hand, she ran downstairs quickly, as if trying to shake off something with her speed.
At a certain film set, inside a white nanny van, Guan Yu stared intently at the man calmly taking the phone away from his ear. Cautiously, he asked, "Brother Huo, how did it go? Did your personal touch make your little childhood friend agree?"
Guan Yu might have emphasized "personal touch" deliberately, exaggerating his tone.
Huo Shaojun was still in his film costume, composed of a solid black shirt and a bulletproof vest, with the cuffs rolled up to the elbows, exposing two sections of powerful bronze forearms. The phone spun half a circle in his fingertips, and suddenly, it flew out.
Guan Yu gasped and dove to catch it, managing to grab the phone, but his body slammed heavily onto the seat.
"Ow..."
Guan Yu howled lowly from the pain, taking a while to recover from collapsing onto the seat.
Huo Shaojun glanced at him, picked up his leather gloves beside him, and descended the vehicle in his leather boots in front of Guan Yu’s eyes.
Guan Yu’s head was oriented toward the car door, watching Huo Shaojun’s cold and handsome back as he left, tears silently flowing in his heart.
He’s finally figured it out!
As long as that little childhood friend of his doesn’t agree to be his personal assistant, letting him boss her around, he won’t have a single peaceful day!
Take money, or take a beating!
Jian Liangtong returned from the infirmary with cold medicine, also packing some food from the canteen, heading back.
