C31 Determination

Qiao Lin stayed in his bedroom until almost noon before coming out. He had an appointment with Qin Lang to have a meal together. Originally, he should have been the one treating him to the meal, but it turned out to be Qin Lang, so he did not want to keep him waiting.

When he came out of his bedroom, Qin Lang was the only one in the living room. These days, Qin Lang had to film during the day and take care of him at the hospital at night. Although he could move and walk, he was treated as a critically ill patient. Even when he woke up to go to the toilet at night, Qin Lang would get up from the single bed next door. Therefore, Qin Lang did not have a good rest these days. Now, he rested his head on his hands and leaned against the sofa to sleep.

The toy box that Qin Lang had taken out to play with Yu earlier was also placed back in the corner of the room.

However, Yu was nowhere to be seen in the living room.

Seeing that the door to the master bedroom was open, Qiao Lin glanced inside, but he still could not see Qin Xiaoyu.

"Buzz buzz!"

The phone in his pocket suddenly rang. Fortunately, he turned it on so that the person on the sofa wouldn't wake up. He quickly went back to his room and closed the door.

As soon as the call connected, a man's voice came from the other end of the line, asking him a series of questions, "Qiao Lin, where have you been these past few days? Could it be that you're still in the police station? Didn't the big star already help you clarify? Or did you really go to the Golden Year to be a trainee like the rumors online?"

This person was a group leader in the cinema city. His surname was Zhao, and Qiao Lin had known him for two to three years.

"Brother Zhao, I've been in the hospital all this time because of that incident and I just got out of the hospital today. What's the matter?" Qiao Lin did not need to guess to know that Brother Zhao wanted him to go back to acting.

"So you're injured? No big deal. If you don't have anything to do, come back and help me out. I've got a good part here with a few lines and a good face." Brother Zhao thought that Qiao Lin would probably agree to it. After all, the reward this time was high. Although it would be a little hard on him, he was able to endure hardships. In the past, when something like this happened, others would not go because they were afraid of being tired or dirty, but Qiao Lin would definitely go back.

"I'm sorry, Brother Zhao, but I can't afford any more trouble, and I don't think I'll ever go back to acting again." If it was before, as long as he had money to earn, he would have gone even if he was sick. But now, it was not only because of his injuries. He was going to the Golden Year on Monday. He wanted to focus on the interview. Although Qin Lang had helped him, he still had to rely on himself to be selected.

He didn't want to waste too much time on being a trainee. He was twenty-five, and he was old compared to the other trainees who joined the company when they were seventeen or eighteen.

"Could it be that you really want to go to the Golden Year?" Brother Zhao's voice sounded a little surprised.

"Yes." Qiao Lin did not deny it.

"Qiao Lin, don't you know who we are? What's wrong with earning some money? Why must you go to the Golden Year to be an intern? The Golden Year is indeed a big company, but can it compare to your acting skills? In terms of age, the trainees recruited by the brokerage company were all teenagers. If you really wanted to start from the trainees, would you have to stay with a bunch of children for years? They made it to the early twenties, just the right age, what about you? I don't object to your decision, but listen to me. You used to have plenty of opportunities, but you never took them seriously. As for a big company like the Golden Year, even if they have a big star like Qin Lang to help them, they probably have dozens or even hundreds of artists, if you don't count the trainees. Would they be able to take care of you?"

Brother Zhao's way of speaking was not very good, and his words sounded unpleasant, but Qiao Lin knew that Brother Zhao was being kind. A big company like the Golden Year would definitely sign a contract if they went in. This contract usually lasted for three to five years. If it was not popular and the contract was with them, it would be difficult for them to get out of it. They could only sit on a bench for a few years, which would only waste more time.

"It's because I wasn't paying enough attention that I'm taking advantage of this opportunity. I've been an extras for five years." This time, Qiao Lin had made up his mind and did not want to be looked down upon by others.

"Alright then, I'll wish you success here. If..." Qiao Lin's voice was firm and Brother Zhao did not want to say anything that would offend him, "If you need anything in the future, feel free to contact me."
