After getting the contact information, they agreed to go fishing together later, and Chu Tian then hung up the phone.

He didn't rush to make contact. Yu Cheng's words couldn't be fully trusted, and some things still required personal investigation. Mere spousal conflict or depression was one thing, but to have lost a job over it was quite another. He feared there might be other issues involved and decided he needed to investigate further.

He glanced at the time. Seeing it was about right, he quickly tidied up and hurried to the company.

The audition for actors was set at Unlimited Entertainment. As a new company trying out their initial project, they weren't too particular and went for whatever was budget-friendly and simple.

By the time Chu Tian arrived, many people were already waiting.

Most of them were students from various film and television institutes. He had no idea how Hou Yichuan had found them all.

The hallway was lined with numerous plastic stools, with men and women sitting on both sides. Some were chatting idly, some were daydreaming, and others were playing on their phones.

Most were unknown grassroots talents. There were also one or two who had possibly signed with talent agencies, as their agents stood nearby, giving them some last-minute instructions.

Chu Tian emerged from the elevator dressed casually, his white T-shirt and aqua green casual slacks paired with sneakers accentuating his long legs.

When he, wearing sunglasses, arrived in the hallway, it was as if a bright light had suddenly shone in, captivating everyone's attention.

"Wow, who is that? He's so handsome!"

"Is he here for the audition too? Must be the heartthrob of his school, right?"

"Do you know him? Couldn't be a graduated senior, could he? With that aura, he doesn't seem like a newbie. Is he here to 'smurf'?"

"'Smurfing,' in this context, is a gaming term meaning an expert joining a game with novices to easily dominate. It seems the speaker played a lot of games.

Because Chu Tian was so young, and his casual attire, though the brands weren't visible, showcased excellent taste and was incredibly stylish. Even with sunglasses on, his sharply defined features and most of his handsome face were still visible.

As he moved, a potent celebrity aura emanated from him, impossible to ignore. Everyone subconsciously tensed up, feeling immense pressure.

One reason was that, compared to Chu Tian, they felt like unsophisticated country bumpkins, perfectly embodying the role of timid newcomers.

Another reason was their immediate thought: they had encountered a professional actor, one polished by real-world experience. Naturally, the pressure mounted.

Unconcerned with their reactions, Chu Tian walked by himself to the company entrance.

At some point, a sign for 'Unlimited Entertainment' had been mounted next to the door.

He glanced at it. The textured copper plate with artistic lettering looked quite good, rather appealing.

After scanning his fingerprint to open the door, he immediately saw the receptionist staring at him with wide eyes, her face full of surprise.

It was no surprise, really. She initially thought a celebrity had arrived. But then Chu Tian simply scanned his fingerprint and entered. She knew that only employees had their fingerprints recorded. Yet, she had never seen Chu Tian before and just watched, bewildered, as he walked in. She couldn't tell if he was a celebrity or a company employee—it was enough to leave anyone dumbfounded.

"Um... hello, may I know whom you are looking for?"

Chu Tian looked at the receptionist, speechless. He'd already scanned his fingerprint; wasn't it obvious he was an employee? But then he remembered he hadn't been to the office in ages, so it was no wonder even the receptionist didn't recognize him. He couldn't really blame her; she was just doing her job diligently.

So, he smiled, took off his sunglasses, and said to the receptionist,

"I'm Chu Tian, the owner of this company. You can check the records. If you have any questions, ask President Hou later. I'm going in now. If you're unsure, come find me in President Hou's office."

Indeed, Hou Yichuan had anticipated that the company employees might not recognize Chu Tian, especially the receptionists, so he had shown them Chu Tian's photo beforehand.

But there is always a difference between photos and the person in the flesh, and Chu Tian's initial appearance with sunglasses had made it difficult for her to recognize him.

However, when he took off his sunglasses, the receptionist immediately recognized him. Hearing his words, her face turned bright red, and she was momentarily flustered.

"No problem, it's not your fault. It's normal not to recognize me since I rarely visit. Don't worry."

He casually reassured her, then confidently made his way towards Hou Yichuan's office.

The receptionist stood there, transfixed, watching his departing figure.

"Hey! What are you staring at? He's gone! Who was that just now? So handsome! You didn't fall for him, did you?"

Upon hearing her colleague's tease, the receptionist's face turned even redder, and she playfully punched her colleague, flustered.

"Oh, come on! What are you talking about! That's the company's boss, President Chu! If you keep spouting nonsense, be careful he doesn't fire you!"

Though she said this, the receptionist secretly glanced in the direction Chu Tian had gone. It would be a lie to say she wasn't a little smitten. A boss that handsome and wealthy—who wouldn't be interested?

Chu Tian was unaware of their thoughts. After this brief episode, he smoothly made his way into Hou Yichuan's office.

"Ah, President Chu, what a rare guest!"

Hou Yichuan looked up and saw Chu Tian. He stared blankly for a good while before it registered. Even though he knew the boss was coming this afternoon, his actual arrival was still somewhat surprising. After all, hadn't it been over a month since his last visit? They usually just talked on the phone; he'd almost forgotten what his boss even looked like.

"Alright, President Hou, stop teasing me. When do the auditions start?"
