Chapter 341


    A week passed in the blink of an eye.


    Joanna had been hospitalized for nearly a month. Her health gradually became better.


    Joanna could be discharged today.


    In the Greene Town.


    After Joanna was discharged from the hospital, she immediately went to the Greene Town.


    Joanna’s mediapany in Greene Town started to get on the right track. Thepany interviewed


    some actors and


    actresses.


    Thepany had signed contracts with six artists, including those referenced by Brother Trumpet.


    However, those artists were all streamers responsible for selling products online. The media


    companies needed diverse artists.


    Cora walked to Joanna and handed over a proposal, saying, “Miss Haynes, this is thetest proposal.


    “Mr. Trumpet says he ns to create a talent show. He wants to choose some female candidates who


    are good at singing and dancing to form a girl group.


    “This is the preliminary proposal. We willplete a detailed n soon. Now we are working on getting


    sponsorships and discussing cooperation with local television stations.”


    Joanna replied, “Sounds great. Talent shows are very popr now. We can hold an audition and


    encourage people to participate. Then we can hire some outstanding artists.”


    Joanna flipped through the proposal andmented, “Not bad!”


    Cora reported, “We have calcted and assumed the show needs 2 million dors when it starts. We


    need to publicize it online and on television.”


    Joanna asked, “What’s the name of the audition? And what’s the theme?”


    Cora replied, “The name of the audition is Ultimate Girls, and the target candidates are young women


    between 18 and 25 years old. We mostly ept candidates who are good at singing and dancing, but


    other talents are also epted.”


    Joanna thought about it for a while and did not object. Then she added, “I think the age range of the


    candidates should be broader. So should the theme!


    “We don’t have to limit so many things since this is the audition that everyone can participate, as long


    as the show is interesting. Girls who have reached the age of 18 can sign up for the show. Then we’ll


    adopt a five–round elimination system. That’s more fair.”


    When Cora heard this, she seemed confused, saying, “But our show is called ‘Ultimate Girls! I’m afraid


    the show won’t its


    get best result if the candidates are too old.”


    Joanna said in a deep voice, “It will be okay. A woman should not be limited by her age. There are


    many definitions of young, such as mentally young and physically young. A woman can be a participant


    of Ultimate Girls even if she is 50 years old as long as she has a young mindset.”


    When Brother Trumpet and Cora heard this, they pondered for seconds. Then they agreed and said,


    “Alright then.”


    Brother Trumpet said, “Then we can start now and run the primary election. However, we still haven’t


    had professional judges for the show.”


    Cora agreed, “That’s right,”


    Brother Trumpet seemed to be struggling with the decision. He said, “Who should we hire? Big shots


    might not ept our invitations. Even if we can hire them, we probably don’t have enough money to


    pay them.


    “Audiences won’t be interested in the show if we hire less famous judges. They will probably drag the


    show down.”


    Joanna thought for a moment. Then she said, “Leave this to me. I’ll go ask Jay.”


    Cora suddenly thought of something and said, “That’s right! Miss Haynes, you can ask Mr. Grimm


    about it. Mr. Grimm is experienced in this area and will definitely offer some help!”


    Jaydon had been in the entertainment industry for a long time and had many connections.


    Moreover, Jaydon ran an entertainment mediapany. The artists in hispany were all top


    celebrities.


    Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!


    Joanna took out her phone and called Jaydon.


    Soon, Jaydon picked up the phone.


    On the other end of the phone, Jaydon’s deep voice arose. He sounded gentle and warm. “Hello,


    Joann!”


    11:21


    Joanna took a deep breath and asked, “Jay, how have you been recently?”


    Jaydon replied. “I’m doing good. I just finished today’s three hours of rehabilitation training. What about


    you?”


    Joanna said. “I’m in Greene Town now.”


    Jaydon changed his tone when he heard that. He asked, “Why are you discharged so quickly? You


    haven’t even recovered. Why don’t you stay in the hospital for a few more days?”


    Joanna replied, “I’ve already recovered. My brain is getting rusty after staying in the hospital for days.”


    Jaydon sighed and said, “Oh, Joanna, you are such a workaholic. You run wild when I’m not with you


    now.”


    Joanna smiled and said bluntly, “Jay, I want to ask you something.”


    Jaydon said. “Go ahead!” He listened carefully.


    “My mediapany in Greene Town is preparing to hold an audition. We want to choose 12 women


    and form a group. When they win the audition, they will be the artists of mypany.”


    When Jaydon heard this, he said, “Talent shows are popr now. I think it’s a good idea!”


    Joanna continued. “We havepleted a preliminary proposal for now. However, we haven’t had any


    professional judges.


    “As you know, I have no experience in this area.


    “So, I call you to ask for your help.”


    Jaydon smiled and replied. “Oh, my pleasure. Thank you for trusting me. What kind of judges do you


    need?”


    Joanna said. “They should be professionals of singing and dancing talents. It will be better if they are


    well known for their reputation and professionalism.


    “You know. The entertainment industry is verypetitive now, and everypany strives for the best.


    So, we must do a good job in this audition.”


    Jaydon said. “No worries. Leave that to me!”


    Joanna said, “Great! Thank you, Jaydon.”


    Jaydon replied. “Tm hanging up now if you don’t need anything else. I’ll call you back after I find the


    judges.”


    “Great!“–


    Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!


    After hanging up the phone, Jaydon called Carmel.


    Carmel’s poprity had declined a little recently. However, she was still a top celebrity in the


    entertainment industry.


    Besides, Carmel’s singing and dancing skills were excellent. Jaydon considered Carmel perfect to be


    the judge of the show.


    Carmel was happy to receive a call from Jaydon. She immediately picked up the phone and greeted,


    “Hello, Mr. Grimm!”


    Jaydon said straightforwardly, “Carmel, here’s a job for you.”


    Carmel cried, “Really? Thank you, Mr. Grimm!” She thought it was a television drama or variety show,


    Jaydon said. “A mediapany in Greene City ns to hold a talent show. I think you are a perfect


    person for it.”


    Carmel was stunned when she heard that. She asked, “Mr. Grimm, are you asking me to be a


    participant in a talent show?”


    Jaydon exined. “No, I’m asking you to be a judge for that show.”


    Carmel was shocked when she heard that. She cried, “Be a judge? Me?”


    Carmel thought, “I’m only 25 years old this year and am a young–generation artist.


    “Am I too young to be a judge?”


    Jaydon seemed to know what Carmel worried about. Thus, he encouraged, “Carmel, you’re from a


    professional girl group. It’s not a problem for you to be a judge for that show!


    “Besides, your poprity has decreased too much recently. This is a good chance for you to increase


    your poprity!”


    Carmel looked confused and asked, “Oh, okay. Then what kind of mediapany is that?”


    “Charmont Media Group.”


    Carmel was shocked when she heard thepany name. She cried, “What? Charmont Media Group?


    “Mr. Grimm, isn’t that Ms. Haynes’s mediapany? You’re asking me to be a judge for the show


    created by herpany?”


    Jaydon asked in a deep voice, “What’s wrong? Is there a problem?”


    Carmel said unhappily. “Mr. Grimm. You know Ms. Haynes and I had some unpleasant moments.”


    Jaydon said, “Carmel, just rx and focus your energy on the work. Joanna is not a petty person. She


    won’t make things difficult for you!”


    Carmel replied, “I’m not taking the job. This sounds like a show for grassroots. Wouldn’t I be cheesy if I


    showed up at that


    show?


    “Joanna’s lousypany has too many bad histories. That show may drag me down. Anyway, I’m not


    going to that show.”


    Jaydon frowned and asked unhappily, “Are you sure about it? To go or not to go? Give me an answer!”


    N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    Carmel said. “I’m not going. That show is too cheesy. I want to be a movie star. I don’t want to


    participate in such a lousy show.”


    Hearing this, Jaydon could not be bothered to persuade Carmel. He said, “Alright then! Thanks for


    letting me know!”


    After hanging up the phone, Jaydon called Adriana, the other girl at hispany.


    Adriana was a top celebrity two years ago. However, thepany gave all the good resources to


    Carmel after thepany decided to develop Carmel into a superstar. After that, Adriana did not have


    too much work. Now, Adriana was almost a B–list celebrity in the entertainment industry.


    Adriana was thrilled to receive a call from Jaydon. She excitedly greeted, “Hello, Mr. Grimm


    Jaydon said, “Adriana, here’s a job for you. Being a judge for a talent show.”


    Adriana cried, “Great. Thank you, Mr. Grimm!” It had been a long time since thest good job for


    Adriana.


    Adriana felt she was about to be history.


    Thus, when she received a job, Adriana agreed without thinking.


    After confirming Adriana to be one of the judges, Jaydon called two of his good friends.


    One was an experienced actor, Nathan Lawson. The other was a rock singer, Theo White.


    Both of them were Jaydon’s good friends. Thus, they readily epted the job offered by Jaydon.


    Soon, Jaydon called Joanna back to report the results.


    Joanna said, “Hi, Jay!”


    “Hey, Joann, I’ve found judges for your show!”


    Joanna was so happy to hear that. She asked, “Who are they?”


    “Adriana from mypany, Nathan Lawson, and Theo White. What do you think?”


    Joanna was overjoyed when she heard that.


    Joanna thought, “These three people are less popr than before. However, they are still celebrities.


    They will bring poprity and topicality to the show!”


    “Thank you so much, Jay!”


    “Pleasure!”


    “Jay, I miss you so much.”


    Jaydon felt his heart melt when he heard that. He said, “Me too! Joann, wait for me. I will recover


    soon!” He sounded a bit sad.


    “No worries. I’ll wait for you!”
