studio.
"Teachers, these are the contestants' information. You can take a look and get a general understanding of them." The program's assistant handed several documents to the table.
The male observers had their hair and makeup done in advance, and were now sitting there bored, waiting for the two female observers to finish their hair and makeup.
One of them immediately stood up and took it, saying, "Great, I had nothing to do!" He then distributed the document to the others, and also placed it on the desks of the two female observers who were not present.
Daqin Entertainment has clearly spared no expense on this workplace reality show. The host is the renowned and highly successful presenter, Dou Jinlin. There are five observers: three male observers—Cui Ting, a financial expert and university professor, who explains financial concepts that might appear in the program; Xia Yang, an idol known for his lively and enthusiastic personality, who acts as the show's atmosphere-maker; and Lin Yinchuan, a popular singer used to attract viewers. The two female observers are actress Bian Rong, participating in this type of variety show for the first time, which is a major selling point; and psychologist Huo Ya, who observes and interprets the contestants' actions, language, and other behaviors, delving into their actions.
Cui Ting, who was over forty, had a very elite look on his face and looked like someone who worked in finance. He held the information in his hand and first looked at the contestants' universities, then their grades. "The contestants this time all look pretty good, but there are two from other majors, so I'm not too optimistic about them."
Xia Yang, who was quite outgoing, said boldly with a hint of awe for his teacher, "That's not necessarily true. Maybe they'll make a comeback?"
Cui Ting said, "Then I'm really looking forward to it."
Lin Yinchuan also said a few words: "It seems that this program will be very exciting. Please give me your guidance, teachers."
Xia Yang bumped Lin Yinchuan's shoulder as if they were old friends: "Brother Lin, you're insulting me. You're my senior, you should be the one guiding me."
Then he added, "No, we're all newbies when it comes to finance. We need to have Teacher Cui teach us."
Xia Yang gave Cui Ting a silly grin: "Thank you in advance, Teacher Cui!"
Cui Ting waved his hand: "I wouldn't dare accept that, I'm afraid your fans will teach me a lesson!"
"how come!"
Lin Yinchuan didn't participate in the conversation between the two. He looked down at the documents and tried to get a general understanding of the people. Suddenly, his gaze stopped on a certain page, and he showed a surprised expression, then chuckled softly.
"Brother, what are you laughing at? Is there something funny?" Xia Yang leaned over.
"No." Lin Yinchuan glanced at the two female observers and the host who were walking over from not far away. "They're coming over."
Xia Yang also saw Bian Rong and Huo Ya walking towards them, and quickly stood up straight, greeting them warmly: "Sister Bian, Teacher Huo! Teacher Dou!"
Lin Yinchuan also greeted the two: "Teacher Bian, Teacher Huo, Teacher Dou!"
Bian Rong nodded: "Hello!" Huo Ya also introduced herself.
Dou Jinlin is a familiar face on various programs; everyone knows her.
Cui Ting wasn't in the entertainment industry, but he recognized the actress Bian Rong. "Actor! My wife is a fan of yours. Could you sign an autograph for me later?"
Bian Rong was very approachable and readily agreed, "No problem!"
Cui Ting added, "Professor Huo and I are colleagues, so let's skip the small talk."
Hoya: "Of course! We're practically family!"
As the group was chatting animatedly, the show's assistant director arrived and asked, "Are all the teachers ready?"
Everyone nodded.
"Shall I start recording?" "No problem!"
-
"Okay, let's start!"
Dou Jinlin addressed the camera: "We're waiting for you to come to our workplace! This is 'We're Waiting for You to Come to Our Workplace,' an observational variety show focusing on the real workplace, presented by Daqin Entertainment. I'm your host, Dou Jinlin, and the people sitting next to me are all very accomplished. First up is our award-winning actress, Bian Rong."
"Hello everyone!"
"Then there are our two professors, Cui Ting, a big name in the financial field, and Huo Ya, a psychology expert."
"Hello everyone!"
"And our two young people, Lin Yinchuan and Xia Yang, are loved by everyone, especially young people!"
"Hello everyone!"
Dou Jinlin led everyone in a discussion about employment and internships before getting down to business.
The first episode of the edited version started playing on the screen. This will be the version that netizens can see. Of course, some explanations and comments from the observation team members will be inserted later.
The screen began to show the contestants entering the room and waiting.
Hoya: "Actually, you can see some of the personality traits from how people choose their seats."
Xia Yang was very supportive: "Teacher Huo, what do you mean by that?"
“This table has a very clear hierarchy. The contestants have just arrived and are unsure whether it's just the contestants or if there will be mentors or something similar. So many of them subconsciously chose seats that are further back and farther from the main seats. This might be because they are still a little hesitant and timid.”
"Like the first few people who came in, everyone unanimously chose the middle position, which is actually to play it safe."
Xia Yang said, "If it were me, I wouldn't want to sit with the leader either; it's too uncomfortable."
Bian Rong disagreed, saying, "How can you get an opportunity if you don't show yourself?"
Cui Ting agreed with Bian Rong's words: "The workplace is like a battlefield. Don't forget, in the end only three people will get the opportunity to stay on as interns."
Lin Yinchuan looked at the information in his hand and said, "This guy named Shaoyang seems very confident."
"His posture was quite relaxed," Hoya commented.
Cui Ting: "His academic qualifications and abilities are also quite good, and I have high hopes for him."
Bian Rong: "This girl named Han Caiwei is also quite nice."
The observers provided feedback on the contestants.
Soon it was Jiang Lai's turn to appear.
Lin Yinchuan watched as she appeared on the screen.
Xia Yang exclaimed, "Wow, she's so beautiful!" Then he flattered the women present, "But she can't compare to the three older sisters."
Bian Rong laughed and scolded, "How can we compare to a young girl like you?"
Lin Yinchuan didn't speak, but instead stared intently at the screen.
After Jiang Lai entered the scene, she first looked around and then walked to the front and sat down.
Huo Ya watched Jiang Lai's actions and said with a hint of praise, "Although she was the last one to come in and had no other choice, she acted decisively and without hesitation. She seems to be the kind of person who is quite confident and generous."
Bian Rong agreed, saying, "This young lady is quite good. Her face is perfect for the big screen. I'd even like to recruit her to my studio."
Dou Jinlin asked Cui Ting, who was looking at the documents, "What does Professor Cui think?"
Cui Ting: "Good academic background, impressive resume. Shows some potential."
Lin Yinchuan said, "I think she's quite promising."
“I’ll vote for her too. She looks exactly like my ideal type!” Xia Yang’s eyes lit up.
Lin Yinchuan glanced at her and whispered, "Watch your words and actions. You're an idol."
Xia Yang pursed his lips and nodded.
The scene shifts to the conference room, where the interviewers appear before the observers.
Huo Ya covered her mouth and laughed: "I didn't expect there to be a young and handsome guy among the interviewers."
Dou Jinlin laughed heartily: "That's the CEO of our Great Qin."
Bian Rong nodded and said, "This President Qin is indeed pleasing to the eye."
"It feels like I'm watching a dating reality show, hahaha," Huo Ya joked.
Dou Jinlin denied it: "Although I don't work under President Qin, I've heard that he only cares about work."
"Teacher Dou, you'd better be careful if you talk about the boss behind his back!"
The women commented on the men's appearances, and the remaining three men, not wanting to interrupt, remained quiet for a while.
The candidates then began their interviews one by one.
"You can tell they're really nervous! They're practically clutching their resumes to the bone," Huo Ya said.
Dou Jinlin: "Of course I'm nervous. Who isn't nervous during an interview? Besides, the interview will be seen by viewers on the other side of the camera."
The observers chatted for a while about the topic of interview anxiety.
“I was very nervous when I auditioned for the talent show. At that time, I was an independent trainee and didn’t know anything. I went to the audition alone without telling my family. I was so nervous that I almost fainted.” Xia Yang recalled his days as a trainee overseas. “Because I knew that was my only chance. If I didn’t succeed, I might never try to pursue my dream of becoming a star again in my life.”
"Yinchuan, what about you?" Bian Rong asked.
Lin Yinchuan looked at Xia Yang and said, "Xia Yang and I both debuted through talent shows, but I debuted in China. As for auditions, I felt okay during the talent show. I'm not afraid of these things."
"It still has to be my brother!"
Dou Jinlin then asked the two professors, "You two also have students, right? Are there any differences in the students' interviews?"
Cui Ting shook his head: "I don't supervise graduate students."
Hoya: "I did lead the class, but perhaps because it was psychology, everyone performed quite well."
"I see." Dou Jinlin steered the conversation, and everyone's attention returned to the contestants' interviews.
Cui Ting offered his professional perspective on the contestants' performances, while Huo Ya also provided an initial assessment of the contestants based on some minor details.
Soon, Jiang Lai entered the conference room.
Bian Rong: "I'm still most looking forward to this girl's performance, what about you guys?"
Xia Yang, who had just been reminded by Lin Yinchuan, didn't say anything he shouldn't have, and said, "It's the last one, I'm really looking forward to it."
Lin Yinchuan, on the contrary, said, "I am also most looking forward to her performance."
Xia Yang: ? ? ? What, don't you need to avoid suspicion?
Seeing Xia Yang's accusing gaze, Lin Yinchuan explained, "She is very professional, and her appearance gives people the impression of being more of a pretty face, which creates a contrast."
Cui Ting agreed with Lin Yinchuan: "She is also someone I think highly of."
Dou Jinlin: "Then let's see if her performance meets our expectations?"
In the video, Jiang Lai stands before the interviewers, poised and elegant, speaking clearly and logically.
During the back-and-forth exchange with Qin Yijian, although I was a student, I was not intimidated by his aura.
Lin Yinchuan's eyes held a hint of admiration. His former little fan was quite impressive! He felt a strange sense of pride.
The program aired the interviewers' discussion about the group assignments, and the contestants returned to their dormitories, thus concluding this episode.
Dou Jinlin went through the motions, saying, "This concludes the first episode. What are your thoughts?"
Bian Rong: "It's like being in a completely different field. I don't know much about their industry, but I can tell that all the contestants are very talented, especially the two contestants from other majors. They worked very hard."
Xia Yang: "Looking up to the top students."
Lin Yinchuan: "Looking forward to the next episode."
Hoya: "Me too."
Cui Ting: "Like Bian Yinghou, I am interested in those two contestants who are not from this major, and I am also quite optimistic about those people from Shaoyang."
"It seems that everyone still has their own ideas."
After chatting for a while longer, Dou Jinlin summarized the conversation, and that was the end of it.
The production team turned off the cameras, everyone stood up, exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then left one after another.
-
The production team acted quickly, preparing the version for broadcast almost without stopping.
—Here it comes!
—The edited version is finally out!
I love that you guys are never on time.
—They were released ahead of schedule?
The program started half an hour earlier than the official time, and as soon as it went live, people noticed it immediately, with the number of real-time comments increasing rapidly.
—Xia Yang, Mom's here!
—Coming for Lin Yinchuan
Bian Rong is as beautiful as a painting.
—This young lady is so pretty!! Bian Rong even wants to sign her; is the movie queen going to take on apprentices?
—I'm dying of laughter. Is Shaoyang some kind of comedian?
—Law scholars really do appear everywhere! [laughing and crying emoji]
When Agent K entered the room, Lin Yinchuan was watching TV in the living room.
He glanced at it. "Look at yourself?"
The TV is showing Lin Yinchuan's projected video, "Job Awaits You".
"Why haven't I seen you so attentive before?" the agent asked, puzzled. "Is something wrong?"
Lin Yinchuan casually replied, "No, just trying to change my mood."
"That works too," the agent said. "Go on the show and get along well with Xia Yang and Bian Rong. One is a popular young actor, and the other is a veteran actress. Although we have some fans, we can't cause any trouble!"
Lin Yinchuan was speechless. "Do I look like that kind of idiot?"
The agent pointed at the corner of his mouth: "Then what were you grinning about just now?"
Lin Yinchuan resolutely refused to admit it: "You've seen wrong."
"?"
Lin Yinchuan glanced at his phone and looked down at the comments from netizens on the show's official Weibo account.
—Is this girl an internet celebrity? And isn't she a fan of Lin Yinchuan? Lin Yinchuan said he has high hopes for her! A two-way rush between fans and celebrities?
—They're a good-looking couple!
—This episode was really good, the contestants were all so good-looking!
—Learn from the dating reality show next door!!!
Well said, but unfortunately the fans have already left.
Lin Yinchuan continued watching TV.
