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 media company in Greene Town started to get on the right track. The company interviewed some actors
and
actresses.
The company 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 the latest proposal.
“Mr. Trumpet says he plans 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 will complete a detailed plan soon. Now we are working on getting
sponsorships and discussing cooperation with local television stations.”
Joanna replied, “Sounds great. Talent shows are very popular now. We can hold an audition and encourage people
to participate. Then we can hire some outstanding artists.”
Joanna flipped through the proposal and commented, “Not bad!”
Cora reported, “We have calculated and assumed the show needs 2 million dollars 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 accept candidates who are good at singing and dancing, but other talents are also
accepted.”
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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtis 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
accept 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 media company. The artists in his company 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!”

Chapter 341
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 media company 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 become the artists of my company.”
When Jaydon heard this, he said, “Talent shows are popular now. I think it’s a good idea!”
Joanna continued. “We have completed 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 very competitive now, and every company 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 popularity 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 media company in Greene City plans 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 explained. “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 popularity has decreased too much recently. This is a good chance for you to increase your
popularity!”
Carmel looked confused and asked, “Oh, okay. Then what kind of media company is that?”
“Charmont Media Group.”
Carmel was shocked when she heard the company name. She cried, “What? Charmont Media Group?
“Mr. Grimm, isn’t that Ms. Haynes’s media company? You’re asking me to be a judge for the show created by her
company?”
Jaydon asked in a deep voice, “What’s wrong? Is there a problem?”
Chapter 341
Carmel said unhappily. “Mr. Grimm. You know Ms. Haynes and I had some unpleasant moments.”
Jaydon said, “Carmel, just relax and focus your energy on the work. Joanna is not a petty person. She won’t make
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthings 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 lousy company 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!”
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 his company.
Adriana was a top celebrity two years ago. However, the company gave all the good resources to Carmel after the
company 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 the last good job for Adriana.
Adriana felt she was about to become 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 accepted 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 my company, Nathan Lawson, and Theo White. What do you think?”
Joanna was overjoyed when she heard that.
Joanna thought, “These three people are less popular than before. However, they are still celebrities. They will bring
popularity 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!”
