Chapter 78 Difficult Sisters and Difficult Sisters After finishing the "Glass Beads" exam, there is only half an hour of rest time. Afterwards, the trainees will be assessed on many subjects including body shape, performance, rap, foreign languages, etc. This is not the end yet. After a simple dinner, they still have to write a test. In the idol industry, illiterate people are everywhere. Not only do they lack cultural knowledge, many trainees even lack basic common sense and cognition. It is no exaggeration to say that if these people are thrown into society, they will most likely not be able to survive independently! Therefore, under Jin Shiming's suggestion, BD Entertainment attached great importance to the inculcation and education of knowledge for trainees and specially opened this course. Jin Shiming does not expect that all the company's trainees will become top students and be admitted to famous universities after completing this course. At the very least, he has to make sure his trainees have some basic common sense, and know what not to say, where not to go, and what not to do. In other words, Jin Shiming is taking the place of the parents and teachers of these trainees, instilling correct and good values in them, teaching them how to distinguish right from wrong, and how to protect themselves.
There are so many ignorant and young artists who have been ruined that a long list of their names can be mentioned every year. Most of them are those who brought it upon themselves and do not deserve sympathy, but there are also some unlucky ones who are blank slates, pure and stupid, and make people laugh and cry. During the interviews, these people expressed deep regret but were helpless. The company is only responsible for dressing them up beautifully, turning them into best-selling commodities, and using them to create profits. However, once they lose their value, companies will discard them and launch new products to replace them. And so it goes on mechanically, one batch after another. In Jin Shiming's opinion, many things can actually be avoided in advance, or the probability of their occurrence can be reduced by taking preventive measures. However, capital is profit-seeking, and businessmen try their best to reduce costs and increase efficiency. In their eyes, trainees are objectified commodities that can be manufactured and replenished continuously, rather than living people! From this perspective, Jin Shiming is not a qualified businessman, and it is difficult for him to become a capital tycoon and build his own chaebol empire. His moral bottom line is too high, and he is also more emotional and empathetic. He is more like a scholar living in ancient times, a simple and romantic idealist at heart. A gentleman can be deceived by his ways, but it is hard to be deceived by his wrong ways! Jin Shiming has never mentioned the beauty of human nature, nor has he regarded human touch as the corporate culture of BD Entertainment. Because he knows that empty slogans are meaningless. Jin Shiming prefers to get down to the actual point and actually do it. Even if the end result is not satisfactory, at least there is no regret. …… After racking their brains to fill out the test paper, the trainees seemed to have used up every last bit of their energy. "Ah~~~ What a long day! This month's assessment day is finally over!" Zheng Yilin spread her hands and lay down on the table. "Why do we have to take exams as trainees? I'm afraid our company is the only one in the entire peninsula?" Li LUDA echoed.
Her academic performance is not bad, especially in science. She is definitely a top student among the trainees. But this did not stop her from going crazy. The test paper just now involved too many and too complicated questions, and a lot of knowledge was not taught in school at all, so she could only guess. "Please let me pass!" Ding Enfei pouted slightly, holding a gel pen, and prayed with her hands clasped together. In comparison, these local trainees from the peninsula are better. Cheng Xiao and Saito Asuka, two foreign trainees, were really exhausted and seemed to have lost all their strength and means! Although the company understood that they had not learned Korean for a long time and prepared translated test papers for them, the test questions were filled with a lot of common sense about the peninsula, and they were completely confused. Fortunately, there were some questions about island countries and China in the test paper, otherwise they would have no idea where to start and would have been sitting in the examination room. "Ah, how did you do in the exam?" Cheng Xiao stood up, patted Saito Asuka on the back and asked. Since both of them are foreign trainees and they sleep in upper and lower bunk beds, it is natural for them to stick together for warmth. Even though communication is difficult, it does not prevent the relationship between these two sisters from growing deeper and deeper. "Da-me-da-me-da! Also, Xiao-chan, could you please stop calling me 'A-xiu-xiu'? It's so embarrassing!" Saito Asuka complained. Her name is pronounced asuka, which is a cute way for Japanese girls to call her, so she has the nicknames "ashuri" and "ashu". When she introduced herself earlier, she had intended to have Cheng Xiao call her by her nickname so as to bring them closer. As a result, because I am shy by nature, my tongue got tied in the middle of the sentence and I said it as "あしゅしゅ (ashushu)". Cheng Xiao heard it as "Axiuxiu" and has been shouting it until now, and it has become her nickname for Saito Asuka. "Then should I call you by your Chinese name? Hello, Saito Asuka!" Cheng Xiao imitated Saito Asuka's cute accent and couldn't help laughing out loud. "Hajima~~~" Saito Asuka covered his face with his hands and spoke in pure Korean. This is definitely her dark history! "Asuka, shall we go back to the dormitory together?" Seeing that the young bird was visibly blushing, Cheng Xiao knew that she was shy, so she stopped teasing her. Saito Asuka nodded. After a whole day of assessment, she was already exhausted both physically and mentally, and she really didn't have the energy to stay and practice more. The two were about to go back to the dormitory when the head of the trainee room, Kim Hyung-eun, suddenly walked in. A group of trainees quickly stood up and greeted him. Jin Hengen glanced at the crowd and locked his eyes on Saito Asuka and Cheng Xiao. "Asuka, and Xiao, both of you come with me. The president wants to see you." The two people whose names were called suddenly felt uneasy. Could it be that their performance in this monthly assessment was too bad and the president Jin Shiming wanted to kick them out? The two men followed behind Jin Hengen, their legs feeling as if they were filled with lead. Such a short journey seemed so long and torturous. "Director Jin, do you know why President Nim is in such a hurry to find us?" Cheng Xiao mustered up the courage and asked in her broken Korean. If you stick your head out, you will be killed. If you hide your head, you will be killed too. It is better to give it a quick death.
"It's great news for you! President-nim plans to arrange for you to play the heroine in the MV!" Jin Hengen replied. Hearing Jin Hengen's answer, Saito Asuka and Cheng Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. Then, there was uncontrollable joy! "MV? Is it the MV of artists from other companies?" Saito Asuka asked excitedly. "I don't know the specific content of President Nim's new song MV for now." Jin Hengen shook his head. The two sisters looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes. Jin Shiming had previously promised to give extra rewards to trainees with excellent performance in monthly assessments and allow them to participate in his next album. But they never expected that such a precious opportunity would fall to the two last-placed ones like them? Furthermore, how long has it been since the album "Spring" was released? Are you already preparing new songs? (End of this chapter)
