Ghost Catching System

Even if they had arrived sooner, there still wouldn’t have been any seats. Li Yin’s displeasure towards his cousin grew. He really thought that having some family money and attending Literary Arts University was such a big deal. Just wait and see how I’ll posture.

Having received Chu Hao’s ”true teachings,” Li Yin began his act, saying coolly, ”Cousin, this celebrity agent you mentioned, who has managed third-tier stars, is still just third-tier after all. And what school did he graduate from?”

Li Haizhen was taken aback and furrowed his brow, replying, ”I’m not too sure, but the fact that he can manage third-tier stars is impressive enough. Why bother with such details?”

Li Yin couldn’t help saying, ”I have some doubts. Are the stars really made famous by him? Isn’t it usually the company’s promotion that makes stars? What does it have to do with an agent?”

This statement was completely true. The main job of a celebrity agent is to arrange appearances for the star, but it’s the company behind them that can truly make a star famous.

Li Haizhen said bluntly, ”You’re here to attend the lecture and learn. Why do you have so many questions? If your father hadn’t begged me, I wouldn’t have let you come. Do you realize that what you just said has already offended someone?”

Li Yin clenched his fists, wishing he could punch Li Haizhen—to think he actually said his father had begged him.

Taking a deep breath, Li Yin asked, ”Then how does this agent compare to a professor from the Imperial Capital Film Academy?”

Li Haizhen replied impatiently, ”The Imperial Capital Film Academy is one of the biggest film academies in Huaxia Country. Naturally, this lecturing agent is no match for them.”

Indeed, at the Imperial Capital Film Academy, any given lecturer would have mentored plenty of second-tier and top-tier stars. What was a minor agent in comparison?

Just as Li Haizhen finished speaking, a cold voice rang out, ”What’s your name?”

Startled, Li Haizhen turned around and saw a man in his mid-thirties looking at him coldly.

Li Haizhen’s temper flared up as well, retorting, ”What’s my name got to do with you?”

The man pointed outside and said, ”You, get out.”

Li Haizhen was stunned. Just then, a regular university teacher approached and said, ”Mr. Tang Bai, please forgive this student for misspeaking.”

Tang Bai expressed his dissatisfaction, ”I come to your school to lecture. If students don’t want to listen, they shouldn’t come at all! Look at you, letting just anyone in here. I don’t feel like lecturing anymore.”

It turned out Tang Bai was the agent.

Li Haizhen’s face instantly turned pale. Damn it, I walked right into the firing line! When did this agent get behind us? What a setup!

He loathed Li Yin. It was this guy who’d led him into this mess.

The university teacher glared fiercely at Li Haizhen and quickly said, ”Mr. Tang, please don’t be angry. These students are just ignorant. I’ll have these three leave.”

With that, the teacher commanded, ”You three, all of you get out.”

Li Yin spoke up in discontent, ”Why should we leave just because you say so?”

Normally, he wouldn’t dare to speak like this. It was only because Chu Hao was by his side, telling him to posture to his heart’s content, with Chu Hao’s assurance: ”I’ve got your back.”

As Li Yin spoke these words, all the university students in the classroom looked over.

Tang Bai narrowed his eyes and said flatly, ”My lecture isn’t for just anyone to attend. You three, get out.”

This Tang Bai is really pretentious. He’s just an agent who managed some third-tier celebrities, yet he’s acting so arrogant, especially with so many people here, directly telling the three of us to get lost.

Li Yin remembered what Chu Hao had told him: When encountering such pretentious people, absolutely do not give them any face. Giving them face is like slapping your own.

Li Yin said calmly, ”You don’t really think I wanted to attend your lecture, do you? Truth be told, if my cousin hadn’t dragged me here, I couldn’t be bothered to come. What are you so proud of? Do you own this school, that you can just order us to get out?”

Tang Bai was stunned, the university teacher was stunned, and Li Haizhen was absolutely furious. This damn cousin is pushing me straight into a fatal trap!

Li Haizhen hurriedly explained, ”Mr. Tang, I didn’t say anything like that. Those were all his words.”

Tang Bai’s face turned ugly as he said, ”I’ve seen too many students like you—no real skills, all talk, never amounting to anything significant.”

Many university students watching agreed with Tang Bai. Some people were indeed all talk and couldn’t accomplish anything substantial.

Li Yin tilted his head and said, ”And how do you know I’m not capable? I hate to disappoint you, but I was just admitted to the Imperial Capital Film Academy this year.”

”Ah!”

The three were shocked, and some of the university students were also stunned.

Admitted to the Imperial Capital Film Academy?

This... This was far better than Literary Arts University.

One of the university students asked, ”What was the admission score for the Imperial Capital Film Academy this year?”

Another university student replied, ”I think it was five hundred and ninety points.”

Five hundred and ninety points! That score was incredibly high, and Li Yin had actually met that standard.

Li Haizhen was also dumbstruck. His cousin had actually gotten into the Imperial Capital Film Academy!

That was such an elite institution, having produced so many famous figures. In the field of acting, if the Imperial Capital Film Academy claimed to be second best, no one would dare claim to be first.

Seeing the expressions on everyone’s faces, Li Yin felt secretly thrilled. All these methods were taught by Chu Hao. So *this* is how awesome it feels to posture like this!

Tang Bai felt a burning sting on his face, as if he’d been slapped. He thought Li Yin was making a fool of him. Someone who got into the Film Academy actually came to listen to *my* lecture? Isn’t he just messing with me?

Tang Bai snorted coldly, ”So what if it’s the Film Academy? So many people graduate every year, but not all of them become stars. With your kind of character, you’ll never achieve anything significant.”

Despite his words, he felt a pang of jealousy. Getting into the Film Academy meant that even less talented individuals, as long as they were willing to study hard, could definitely land good positions in entertainment companies. He knew that his own position as an agent for third-tier stars was largely due to luck. He might seem successful now, but if Li Yin worked hard, he would undoubtedly reach a similar or better position years sooner than he did.

Li Yin folded his arms and said, ”Still better than you.”

Tang Bai was so angry he pointed towards the door and said, ”Get out of here! Someone of your caliber wants to attend my lecture? Not in this lifetime!”

Li Yin was about to say something more when Chu Hao patted him on the shoulder. ”That’s enough,” Chu Hao said. ”Coming here was a complete waste of my time. Let’s go!”

Li Yin nodded and was about to leave with Chu Hao.

”Wait.” Tang Bai called the two of them back again.

Li Yin asked bluntly, ”What else?”

Tang Bai said coldly, ”You publicly disrupted my class. You both owe me an apology.”

”On what grounds?” Li Yin retorted with displeasure.

Tang Bai smirked. ”If you don’t apologize, that’s fine too. We’ll proceed with legal action. You blatantly disrupted my class and damaged my reputation. Prepare for a lawsuit.”

In the entertainment industry, reputation is more important than anything.

Tang Bai thought to himself, I’ve been in the entertainment industry for so long; can’t I handle two little brats?

Li Yin cursed inwardly. This bastard actually wants to sue us! This is such a typical entertainment industry move. The worst that can happen is a lawsuit to ’uphold his reputation.’ Besides, he’s not scared of us at all; we’re just students.
