Chapter 6: Leap Forward, Am I Mentally Retarded?
"The cast list for the 'Gu Jian Qi Tan' project is now announced: Li Mo as Ling Yue, Dilraba Dilmurat as Fu Qu, Gao Weiguang as Feng Qianmo, and Ying Haoming as Ling Duan..."
The message quickly spread throughout the company via the company's main group chat, among agents and staff.
In the coffee shop downstairs from the company, several agents from the company gathered together to have coffee during their leisure time after get off work.
Sister Zhang whispered mysteriously, "Do you know how Li Mo from our company landed the role of Ling Yue? You know, even veterans like Zhang Yunlong and Gao Weiguang only got supporting roles!"
Xiao Sun immediately retorted, "How else could he have gotten it? He must have pulled some strings. I heard that Sister Mi had a drinking party a few days ago, and he somehow managed to get there."
Xiao Wang immediately guessed, "Could it be that Sister Mi ate it?"
Xiao Sun slammed his hand on the table. "Of course! Otherwise, how could he possibly compete with those old people?"
Xiao Wang, being relatively more humane, raised a question: "Isn't Sister Mi about to get married?"
Xiao Sun immediately retorted, "What's wrong with talking about marriage? There are still cases of infidelity within marriage, let alone in the entertainment industry."
Just as the two were arguing, Sister Zhang coughed, attracting everyone's attention, and then calmly revealed some information:
"I overheard Sister Mi talking to Mr. Liu on the phone the day before yesterday. They mentioned Li Mo, and they were both laughing happily... They even said they wanted to invite him over to their house sometime..."
"Hiss~ Come over to my house... and do it?" Xiao Wang gasped, this completely went against his values.
Xiao Sun was also stunned and hurriedly exclaimed, "3...3 people? Li Mo is that powerful?"
"Should I give you a megaphone so you can shout it out in the street?"
Xiao Sun quickly made an apologetic gesture, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please continue."
"Let me tell you, these things are best kept private between us. Nobody is allowed to tell anyone!"
The group immediately made a zipper gesture towards their mouths, and Sister Zhang continued, "I'm afraid...it's more than that!"
"Is there more to the story?"
"Qin Lan was also mentioned in that phone call..."
Xiao Wang's coffee cup slammed to the ground with a "thud," and the coffee shop staff immediately came over to clean it up.
After he left, Xiao Wang immediately asked, "Four? Together or separately?"
Sister Zhang hesitated and guessed:
"It's highly likely they're all together, but I suspect that Sister Honey's other sisters also fell into Li Mo's clutches. Think about it, Qin Lan has already been taken down, what about the rest..."
"Holy crap! Li Mo was hiding this all along? Didn't he almost get blacklisted for rejecting a female investor?"
"Nonsense, who wouldn't refuse an investor who looks like a jar? Do you think this one will be the same?"
"..."
Just as everyone was discussing enthusiastically, Sister Zhang's phone rang, and a young voice came from the other end:
"Mom, when are you coming back?"
"Mom will go back now, you wait a little longer, okay?"
After hanging up the phone, Sister Zhang pointed to it and said to everyone, "My son, I have to go now. This meal... I'll pay?"
"I'll do it!"
"I'll come, how could I let you treat me!"
Sister Zhang immediately smiled broadly, "Then next time I come, no one can take it from me..."
After he left, the group continued their discussion, concluding that this trend was destined to blow further and further away.
This is actually quite normal. It's not just in the entertainment industry; even in other industries, people inevitably engage in malicious speculation when faced with a rising star.
When Li Mo came out of the hotel again, it was already the next day.
He also needs to make sure Yang Chaoyue is settled before leaving, as he will be packing his bags and flying to Hengdian with the film crew the day after tomorrow.
When Li Mo arrived home with breakfast, Yang Chaoyue was already awake. Li Mo handed her the breakfast and then asked her with concern.
"How was it? Did you sleep well?"
Yang Chaoyue thought for a moment, then hesitated before speaking his true feelings: "I slept quite well, but I felt a little uneasy."
"What's wrong?"
"Brother Xiao Mo, what are the duties of an assistant? I don't have any work to do, and I feel like I'm just eating and living here for free. I'm a little uneasy about it."
Yang Chaoyue's words struck a chord with Li Mo, who also needed to explain what was to come.
Li Mo thought about Yang Chaoyue all morning and finally came to the conclusion that she still had to send her to study.
You don't need to be an expert; once you've learned enough, you can start preparing for the art entrance exam and then apply to art universities.
After graduating from university, Li Mo believed that with his status in the entertainment industry at that time, he could provide her with a good guarantee.
Moreover, this is the healthiest way, and Li Mo genuinely doesn't want Chaoyue to get involved in the entertainment industry too early.
This is a huge dye vat, and even someone as pure as Li Mo cannot escape being corrupted!
However, before persuading her to study culture, I still need to fool her a little first, otherwise it would be too strange.
After all, he was using the title of assistant before.
"Actually, I was originally planning to rent a room for you next door first, and then teach you slowly..."
At this point, Li Mo paused, gathering his regret, and continued:
"But something came up yesterday, and I'm supposed to start filming the day after tomorrow!"
"Ah~" Yang Chaoyue frowned, not knowing whether it was because Li Mo was leaving again, or because he was disappointed that he couldn't learn anything.
"I can't learn it, so I can't go with you?" Yang Chaoyue asked again.
Li Mo nodded regretfully, indicating that this was the case.
"Then... how about I learn it myself? Just tell me what I need to learn. And then please bear with me for a while longer, and once I've finished learning, I'll come find you!"
Yang Chaoyue cheered himself up, determined to do his best this time, finish his studies quickly, and then go find Brother Xiaomo as soon as possible.
"That works too! There's a saying that goes: artists must be cultured, so... Chaoyue, why don't you go study culture?"
"what?"
Five minutes later, Li Mo took out his old notebook and officially began the lesson.
"Chaoyue, you didn't do well in school before because you hadn't found the right learning methods. Today, I'll personally teach you, and together we will revolutionize the education industry!"
Don't let a group of incompetent teachers who mislead students dampen your enthusiasm for learning!
Seeing Li Mo's enthusiasm, Yang Chaoyue could only cooperate and open the textbooks he had long since abandoned.
"First and foremost is language arts, which emphasizes comprehension. For example, what idioms encompass men, women, the elderly, and children?"
"Execute the entire family?"
Li Mo: ...
Next, let's look at history.
"Give me an example where both the grandfather and grandson are very capable, but the father is quite mediocre!"
"Calabash Brothers?"
...
Two hours later, Li Mo, having exhausted all his passion, left with the final words: "Chao Yue, are we mentally challenged?"
There was no contempt in Li Mo's tone towards Yang Chaoyue, only concern. He had even genuinely considered taking her to the hospital for a checkup.
From Chinese language and literature to history, from history to mathematics, foreign languages…
Li Mo led her through the process, and they eventually discovered that the education sector was indeed not so easy to overturn.
Let the professionals handle the professional tasks!
