I love you, Jay!” After considering it for a while, Joanna still said it out loud.

Hearing this, Jaydon was stunned for a moment. Then he replied gently. “I love you too!”

“Take good care of yourself?”

“You too!”

Then Joanna and Jaydon talked hot over the phone for a while. They both felt their hearts become closer.

Joanna said, “Alright, I should get back to work now. Don’t train too hard.”

“No worries.”

The next day.

In the conference room.

Joanna announced, “The judges and mentors for the show Ultimate Girls have been selected.”

When Brother Trumpet and Cora heard this, they asked anxiously. “Who are they?”

Joanna paused for a moment. She replied, “Adriana, Nathan Lawson, and Theo White.”

Cora couldn’t help but give Joanna a thumbs up. Cora complimented, “Wow, Miss Haynes, you’re amazing. How did

you manage to invite the three of them?

“I had to admit Adriana is not as popular as before. However, she was the top star in the past two years. I can’t

believe we can

have her in our show!”

Another executive, Eleanor Holmes, agreed and said, “Exactly. Besides, Nathan won The Golden Camera Award last

year! I didn’t expect him to accept the invitation!”

“That’s Mr. Grimm’s credit for letting us have Nathan on the show.”

“Anyway. It’s still worth celebrating since we have had great judges and mentors.”

When Brother Trumpet heard the discussion, his face darkened slightly.

Brother Trumpet thought. “It seems that Joanna and Jaydon love each other so much.

“I should probably abandon my thoughts.”

Cora sensed Brother Trumpet’s disappointment. Thus, Cora immediately livened up the mood and said, “Brother

Trumpet. we’re going to organize our employees for a celebration. How about that?”

Brother Trumpet squeezed a smile and replied, “Sounds good.”

Soon, the poster of the audition was posted online.

The advertising copywriting was inspiring. Additionally, the advertisement was released online and offline. Soon, the

news of the talent show went viral on the Internet.

Thousands of people signed up for the audition on the first day.

However, the audition was on May 15th.

The show had five rounds in total, which were registration, audition, second round, final round, and the night for

group forming.

After entering the final round, the candidates had to go through four battles before qualifying to be a group

member.

Joanna had been very busy in the next few days.

Joanna had to get sponsors, plan the rules of the competition, and interview the applicants.

Joanna’s mood became better when she got busy.

Joanna did not have the time to think about the unpleasant things that had happened previously.

The Everett Group, Greyport.

Bruce was completely ignored and neglected by Joanna. Joanna did not answer Bruce’s calls or see him.

That made Bruce extremely disappointed and depressed.

Bruce asked, “What has Joanna been up to?”

Andy immediately reported, “Oh. I heard that Miss Haynes is preparing an audition for a talent show. She is busy

with that project now.”

Chapter 342

Bruce frowned and asked. “An audition? A talent show?”

Andy replied, “Yes. The news goes that the show is called Ultimate Girls. A woman can sign up for the show if she is

18 or older.”

“I heard that this talent show is fairer than before! The work is well done. I didn’t expect Miss Haynes to be so good

at planning!” Andy couldn’t help but praise.

Bruce chuckled and said, “Huh. It sounds like Joanna is energetic about this project!

“What about the Haynes Group? What have the internal executives been up to recently?”

Andy frowned and reported. “The news goes that Mr. Roger is the interim chairman of the Haynes Group now. He

replaces Miss Haynes to handle the company’s businesses.

“However, there’s also news that Mr. Roger wants to quit his job at the Haynes Group. He’s looking for a man to

take his job.”

Bruce asked. “Is that so?”

Andy reported, “Yes. Mr. Roger and Mr. Paul each hold 15% of the shares. The two of them don’t want to work with

Miss Haynes. Thus, they are planning to kick Miss Haynes out of the board!

“These two are scheming. They are going to kick Miss Haynes out without losing one cent.”

Bruce said gloomily, “Got it!” Then he lit a cigarette.

In the Greene Town.

At the office.

“Wow, there are too many people signing up!”

“Yeah! I didn’t expect so many people to sign up for the audition!”

“I thought we would have several thousand people signing up in total. However, it turned out that over 5,000 people

signed up for the show on the first day!”

“The number of applicants has exceeded 50,000 over the past few days!”

“Many of them are women over 30 years old. A small number of them are 50–year–old ladies.”

After hearing this, Joanna frowned slightly and said, “The audition must be fair. You can’t prefer young girls or let

the applicants.”

“Don’t worry about that, Miss Haynes.”

The show had been popular since its audition because the media had many topics to report, such as the founder,

candidates, and judges.

Therefore, many people signed up for the show.

Joanna had to go many places to get sponsors before. But now, the sponsors requested to offer money for the

show.

The sponsorship had reached over 40 million dollars in just a month.

The television stations fought each other for the broadcasting right of the show.

The show was so popular that the media reported Joanna as a successful woman.

Everyone finally saw Joanna’s strength and hard work.

Joanna no longer appeared in public as a beauty or Bruce’s ex–wife.

Now, Joanna was labeled as a successful businesswoman.

Cora asked carefully, “Miss Haynes, Mr. Fletcher wants to reference a candidate to the final round.”

Eleanor agreed, “The CEO of Mellow Coffee asks us to put his daughter in the final round.”

“Also, the president of Aura Solutions Group sponsors 2 million dollars and wants his girlfriend to enter the final

round.”

Joanna was dumbfounded when she heard these requests.

Joanna hated the most the people who cheated through social networks or money.

Thus, Joanna said. “How can we do that? Our slogan is fair and square!”

Cora looked serious. She said, “Miss Haynes. Mr. Fletcher sponsors over 1 million dollars. He only has one request.

That is referencing a talent.

“Moreover, I checked the talent’s profile. She graduated from a dancing school and is a professional without any

doubt!

“To put it bluntly, Mr. Fletcher only wants the candidate to perform on television so that she can have a better

career in the entertainment industry.

Chapter 342

Eleanor followed Cora to add. “The Mellow Coffee’s CEO has the same intention.”

When Joanna heard this, she became angrier. She sighed and said, “I planned to select some truly capable

candidates. through the audition.

“What is the point of the audition if all the candidates want to win the game by giving us money? What is the point

of this show?”

“Miss Haynes. The sponsors have given us so much money and have only one request. If we don’t approve their

requests, I’m afraid that we will lose our sponsors!”

Joanna was speechless when she heard that.

Joanna thought, “I planned to create a fair and square show. However, I did not expect to encounter such things!

“What’s worse, I have no choice but to approve those

requests.

“But it will be unfair for candidates who don’t have strong backgrounds if I accept those requests.

“So many people sign up for the show. However, we only have 12 spots. The candidates referenced by the sponsors

take up half of the spots. That’s to say, only five spots are left for those who win the games with their strengths.”

Someone suddenly suggested, “Miss Haynes. We can let those candidates referenced by the sponsors enter the

final round. When it is time for the final round, we will evaluate their capability. At that time, we can kick them out if

they are not capable.

“We can guarantee that any candidate referenced by a sponsor can enter the top 201

Joanna replied. “It sounds like the only choice we have now.”

“Then I’ll start the work.”

Joanna said, “Alright.”

Buzz. Buzz. Buzz.

Joanna greeted, “Hey, Jay!” She had a video call with Jaydon.

Jaydon noticed Joanna looked exhausted and asked worriedly, “What’s wrong? Why do you look so pale?”

“It’s nothing. It’s just that I encountered some problems at work.”

“What kind of problems?”

Joanna pondered for a moment and decided to tell Jaydon about those things.

Jaydon could not help but laugh after he heard what Joanna said. He said, “This is very normal. If you want to

survive in this industry, you have to know its rules!”

Joanna complained, “I will never expect that there are so many unspoken rules for a talent show.”

Jaydon replied, “You’ll get used to it. Unspoken rules exist in every industry. There’s no such thing as 100% fairness

in this world. One should do the best one can inside of one’s competence. That’s my opinion.

“After all, how can we say no to money?”

Joanna thought about it and agreed with Jaydon.

Joanna thought, “Jaydon is right. My purpose of working so hard is to make money!

“I will have no money to make if the show is 100% fair. Besides, being too serious does no good for.

anyone.

“Even if the show is unfair, I should do my best to ensure the rights and interests of every candidate.

“If I can’t move the candidates referenced by the sponsors, I can add more spots. I can increase the spots to 20

from 12.

“However, I can’t tell this to anyone now, not to mention publicize it!

“Otherwise, the sponsors will ask us to allow more and more people to enter the final round.”

The show received the highest ratings when its first episode was broadcast.

Adriana and the other judges instantly became popular.

The show would be popular for a long time, assuming the current trend.
