Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 373 - 372 Mission Accomplished
Chapter 373: Chapter 372 Mission Accomplished
"I remember now, she was contestant number twelve from the Talent Show for the Most Graceful Girls yesterday."
As the jury members had direct contact with the contestants, Wang Yiming clearly had a bit of an advantage over Zhou Lina.
And because Su Mu’s drawing was so accurate, Wang Yiming had simply filtered through the contestants’ faces in his mind from yesterday.
Believe it or not, just like a facial recognition process, Wang Yiming really had scanned to a match.
Because he was so excited, Wang Yiming’s voice was also quite loud when he spoke.
It was almost deafening.
This really wasn’t the usual style of the composed Wang Yiming.
"Contestant number twelve? Really?"
As the person in charge, Zhou Lina had more things to manage.
She hadn’t had the time to pay much attention to what the contestants looked like.
Zhou Lina’s initial thought had been to have yesterday’s Talent Show staff members help identify the girl from the drawing.
Zhou Lina had even planned, in case Wang Yiming, Mr. Wang, couldn’t recognize her either,
to make several copies of the drawing with the printer and distribute them to the staff members from yesterday.
That way, Zhou Lina thought, the results would come quickly.
But Zhou Lina’s plans were disrupted by Wang Yiming.
Zhou Lina didn’t expect that Wang Yiming could actually single out someone from among so many contestants from the day before.
Even though Wang Yiming, as a member of the jury, had watched the contestants from start to finish.
Zhou Lina somewhat doubted whether Wang Yiming was really that incredible to call out the number of the girl whose back was turned?
With disbelief, Zhou Lina walked over to her computer desk.
There were backups of all the Talent Show for the Most Graceful Girls contestants’ information.
As the person in charge, Zhou Lina obviously had these files on her computer.
Zhou Lina was seen clicking the mouse a few times.
As it was a desktop computer with a large monitor, it completely separated Zhou Lina from the people sitting on the couch.
Of course, they couldn’t see Zhou Lina’s facial expression at the moment.
"Manager Zhou, did you find her?"
"Mr. Wang said it was contestant number twelve, take a look and see if she’s the girl from the back that I’m looking for?"
Though Zhou Lina’s face was unseen, her hand holding the mouse was still visible to everyone.
Watching Zhou Lina moving the mouse at first, clicking the right button a few times with her right hand.
Later, Zhou Lina’s hand just maintained the action of holding the mouse.
There were no more movements of the mouse, nor further right-clicks.
Time seemed to stand still.
After waiting for several minutes like that, Four Eyes couldn’t sit still any longer.
What was Zhou Lina’s intention exactly?
Had she found what she was looking for or had she not?
Regardless of the result, Zhou Lina should at least tell everyone, right?
If what Wang Yiming had said was correct, then of course that would be best.
It would mean that Su Mu and Four Eyes’ visit to Xinghuan Entertainment was a complete success.
Of course, if Wang Yiming’s memory was off, it wasn’t a big deal.
With Su Mu’s drawing in hand, as long as the girl with her back turned really participated in the Talent Show for the Most Graceful Girls,
finding her information was only a matter of time.
Four Eyes wasn’t a patient person by nature, and this matter was about finding the girl of his dreams.
It was only natural that Four Eyes would be anxious seeing Zhou Lina’s lack of response.
"Ah? Found her, found her, indeed she was contestant number twelve from the Talent Show for the Most Graceful Girls yesterday."
Urged by Four Eyes, Zhou Lina also came to realize.
Zhou Lina had been staring at the computer, lost in thought, because she saw the photo of contestant number twelve on the computer.
At this point, Zhou Lina thoroughly believed Mr. Mu’s words that it was "identical."
Zhou Lina looked at the photo on the computer and found that Mr. Su’s drawing skills had truly reached a state of perfection.
A person who had never been met could be drawn without the slightest deviation.
If it were someone familiar, could they not be drawn to life?
Unfortunately, Four Eyes didn’t give Zhou Lina much time for her thoughts.
Four Eyes’s words directly pulled Zhou Lina back to reality.
"Sorry, the computer is a bit slow."
Zhou Lina stood up and made a symbolic effort to straighten her clothes.
Zhou Lina was actually trying to cover up her earlier lapse.
Mr. Su, Miss He, and that Mr. Mu were all waiting for her answer, and Zhou Lina had been daydreaming there.
In front of such important people, this was certainly an unforgivable mistake.
Zhou Lina knew that her performance just now was not good, and she didn’t dare to admit it outright, so she had to find a rather poor excuse.
He Qiya frowned slightly; the computer was slow?
Is the hardware equipment at Xinghuan Entertainment that poor?
Zhou Lina was at least a manager. Her rank wasn’t very high, but she shouldn’t be using a computer that could affect her work, right?
Fortunately, He Qiya only visited Xinghuan Entertainment occasionally, or Zhou Lina’s lie would have been exposed.
Here, Wang Yiming certainly didn’t believe that Zhou Lina’s computer had really been slow.
But Wang Yiming didn’t have the mind to guess why Zhou Lina had delayed for a few minutes.
For Wang Yiming, he had finally done something right in front of Mr. Su today.
That was, Wang Yiming was the first one to recognize the girl in the silhouette.
Wang Yiming knew that this definitely counted as a merit for him.
Of course, Wang Yiming had no thoughts of asking for credit.
Wang Yiming only hoped that Mr. Su, taking into account his own contribution this time, would not dwell on his previous offenses.
Wang Yiming now had the sense of seeking survival amidst narrow gaps.
In fact, Su Mu had not thought that much.
Wang Yiming had invited Su Mu to the show because he was impressed with Su Mu’s singing skills.
There was no need to be too harsh on Wang Yiming.
After all, from the beginning, Su Mu had been declining the offer.
"Mr. Su, Miss He, Mr. Mu, the silhouette girl you are looking for indeed participated in the ’Most Graceful Girl’ selection show yesterday."
"She is contestant number twelve, Li Minli."
Zhou Lina walked to the sofa and gave a brief introduction.
"Li Minli? What a nice name."
The saying "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" really isn’t bad at all.
The name Li Minli is not particularly special, but it sounds exceptionally pleasant to Four Eyes’ ears.
"Mr. Su, would you like me to print out the detailed information of Li Minli?"
Su Mu had always been in a dominant position.
So, even though Zhou Lina knew it was Mr. Mu who wanted to find Li Minli,
she still asked Su Mu first.
Zhou Lina knew that as long as Mr. Su nodded, it would be final.
"Print two copies."
Su Mu thought that Four Eyes might not be able to remember all of Li Minli’s personal information, so printing it out was the safest way.
"Okay, please wait a moment; I will print it out right away."
Zhou Lina settled back at her desk.
Due to the nature of her work, Zhou Lina often needed to print various documents.
Especially when it came to confidential materials, it wasn’t appropriate for Zhou Lina to have her assistant print them at the communal printer.
Take, for instance, the information on the contestants of the ’Most Graceful Girl’ talent show from yesterday, which was classified and not to be disclosed by the company.
Hence, Zhou Lina’s office was equipped with a small printer directly connected to her desktop computer.
This made it more convenient for Zhou Lina to print documents that couldn’t be made public.
Now it was Miss He from the Su Family’s group who needed these documents printed for Young Master Su.
Zhou Lina didn’t even need to seek approval from her superiors.
Zhou Lina wasn’t foolish.
The conspicuous visit from the chairman’s wife and her daughter to the company yesterday,
and this morning, the young lady brought Mr. Su and Mr. Mu to Xinghuan Entertainment as soon as the day started.
It didn’t take Zhou Lina many guesses to figure it all out.
The chairman’s wife’s actions yesterday were to pave the way for her daughter’s convenience today.
You see, Zhou Lina hadn’t even seen the young lady’s true face until the day before yesterday since she joined Xinghuan Entertainment.
This meant that the young lady hadn’t visited Xinghuan Entertainment in years.
Naturally, there were also many people in the company who didn’t recognize her.
The young lady’s secretive appearance yesterday was actually preparation for Mr. Su’s visit to the company today.
Zhou Lina had come to understand.
It wasn’t just the young lady who had taken a liking to Mr. Su.
Even the chairman’s wife must adore Mr. Su, and likely wanted him as her son-in-law.
As for the chairman, Zhou Lina felt there was no need to ponder over it.
With such pomp and circumstance from the chairman’s wife and daughter yesterday, could the chairman be unaware?
Think about it, who wouldn’t want to forge ties with the heir of the Su Family group?
Not to mention that Zhou Lina had now truly met Young Master Su in person.
He could best be described with the phrase ’universally supreme and invincibly handsome.’
Aside from that, even disregarding Mr. Su’s family background and appearance,
Mr. Su was also a man of many talents.
All these factors combined, Zhou Lina knew there wasn’t a girl who wouldn’t be smitten with Mr. Su.
Suddenly, Zhou Lina felt a tinge of sympathy for Mr. Mu.
As Mr. Su’s friend, Mr. Mu must possess a very strong mental fortitude.
With Mr. Su’s presence, the existence of others was essentially negligible.
Mr. Su said to print two copies, and Zhou Lina dared not to print more or less.
The contestants’ personal information sheet for the ’Most Graceful Girl’ talent show was just a single page.
It typically included the name, age, height, contact number, home address, and some specialties and hobbies.
The basic information was there.
But it was impossible to be very specific.
For a preliminary selection, Xinghuan Entertainment wouldn’t require contestants to provide detailed information.
Those who didn’t advance were destined to be eliminated anyway.
Xinghuan Entertainment wouldn’t keep the data of the eliminated contestants either.
Four Eyes was lucky that Li Minli performed well yesterday.
Thanks to Li Minli’s outstanding appearance, she had successfully advanced.
Otherwise, Four Eyes would have had to go searching for information on the computer in the archives.
Zhou Lina’s computer would only retain the data of the useful contestants.
As for the data in the archive room’s computer, the information for those contestants who are eliminated will be retained for at most a month.
This is still in order to prevent some unexpected events.
After a month, those pieces of information that are useless to Xinghuan Entertainment will all be deleted.
Entertainment companies like Xinghuan Entertainment organize several big and small audition programs every year.
If the data of all contestants had to be preserved each time,
it would not only increase the workload for the staff,
but in the end, it would be utterly useless.
Because the volume is so large, it’s impossible to find any useful information from such a vast amount of data.
Timely clearing out is the best method.
"Mr. Su, I have printed out Li Minli’s information,"
"These are two copies; if that’s not enough, I can print out a few more."
Carrying the printed information, Zhou Lina walked back to the couch.
Even though it’s said to be two sets of information, it’s only two sheets of paper.
Li Minli’s information was only what she filled out during the preliminary selection and isn’t very detailed.
Only if Li Minli advances to the later final contest will Xinghuan Entertainment require contestants to fill out a detailed personal information form.
Therefore, the information Zhou Lina holds in her hands at this moment can be considered quite rudimentary.
However, this was enough for Four Eyes who was on a mission to find someone.
Containing the name, phone number, school, and home address,
the four most critical elements are all there; if Four Eyes still couldn’t find a person now, he really shouldn’t bother continuing in his line of work.
"Two copies are plenty; let me have a look quickly,"
Four Eyes knew Mr. Su had no interest whatsoever in the information Zhou Lina held.
Four Eyes didn’t expect Mr. Su to take the information Zhou Lina offered and then hand it over to him.
Such an obviously superfluous action, Four Eyes understood, was something Mr. Su would never do.
Right now, Four Eyes was very anxious.
He had only just learned the name of the girl whose back he had seen; as for other information about her, Four Eyes was still completely in the dark.
Looking at the two sheets of paper in Zhou Lina’s hands, they seemed so light and insubstantial.
But Four Eyes knew that these might be pertinent to his future happiness.
Without waiting for Mr. Su to signal anything, Four Eyes snatched the papers right out of Zhou Lina’s hands.
The speed with which Four Eyes acted was very fast, almost snatch-like.
Luckily, Zhou Lina hadn’t been holding the papers very tightly; otherwise, those two pieces of information might have ended up torn apart.
The information-grabbing Four Eyes couldn’t wait to look it over.
"Su Mu, I really guessed right, my silhouetted girl is a year younger than us, starting her senior year of high school,"
Four Eyes exclaimed dramatically upon seeing that Li Minli had listed her occupation as a junior high school student on the information sheet.
Four Eyes felt he had quite a discerning eye.
Having seen the girl from behind just once, he was able to guess her approximate identity through her demeanor.
"It’s a shame she doesn’t attend Huadong International Middle School; otherwise, I would’ve gotten to know this junior already,"
Four Eyes said to Mr. Su, speaking non-stop while looking over Li Minli’s information,
Regardless of Mr. Su’s lack of response, it didn’t stop Four Eyes from continuing.
Perhaps because he had already found the silhouette girl’s information, Four Eyes felt a weight had been lifted and he became quite relaxed; naturally, he talked even more.
"Mr. Mu, do we need to print out more copies? Are two enough?"
With Mr. Su not answering her question, Zhou Lina threw the question to Four Eyes.
Anyhow, Zhou Lina didn’t want to seem irrelevant all of a sudden.
