Chapter 614 A Nice Suit

After passing the gate, getting into AJ Entertainment's building was no problem, as Gary had been given a visitor's pass by his driver before he had dropped it off. He was told that he would need that on the first day before they gave him a real one.

Just walking up to the entrance of the building, Gary already came across a number of people he recognised. They were actors he had seen from TV series, small movies and also models, some of them he had seen on the drive here on billboards advertising products.

Outside, in the garden-like environment, they were talking amongst each other. Others seemed to be practising speeches for their next drama, TV show or role, and there were even those that were just singing away out in the open, though with all the noise going on it was hard to make out specifics, even for Gary’s ears.

‘This whole place has such a nice atmosphere to it. I feel like I have stumbled straight into a girl’s gossip magazin. So far I haven't spotted any top celebrities, so I guess they’re the up-and-coming stars like me. The real successful ones must already be living in the Tier-1 cities. Still, I recognise a good fifty percent of them.

‘I wonder what it would be like to own a place like this?’ Gary wondered, stopping in front of the entrance, staring upward at the ceiling glass windows. ‘Right now, I’m just the leader of a simple gang, but I can still dream big. There are different ways for one person to build up their influence and wealth, and who knows, maybe it won’t stay a dream. Then I could bring Amy along, so she can talk to all the people she watched on TV.’

Walking into the reception, it was the total opposite of the serene scene outside. Inside, everything was hectic. There were a multitude of guards accompanying the stars, followed by what Gary could only assume to be their managers, as well helping staff members. They were all moving across the halls, running to head outside, seemingly trying to catch up on a far too right schedule.

Now that he was in the middle of it all, Gary was unsure what to do next. The teenager had only been given simple instructions and so he had been hoping someone would meet with him, and explain what to do.

Worst case, Gary had believed he could just ask someone for help, but now that he was here, people were too involved in their own world to pay any attention to him, just walking right past him. He reached out his hand a few times, uttering a rather loud ‘Excuse me’ awkwardly, but nobody stopped, not even a guard.

“You look a little lost.” A man’s voice suddenly sounded from behind the teenager.

Turning around, Gary looked at a young man in his mid-twenties. He was dressed in a nice suit, and standing by his side there were two guards. The way the guards were dressed, and their demeanour were nearly exactly the same as the ones that had tried to show off during his interview.

“Nice to meet you Gary, the name is Ash. We might see each other again some time.” Ash said before he walked off with a smile on his face.

‘Gary... it's a name I have heard a few times recently. Has it become a popular name again?’ Ash thought as he continued to walk away.

Following Ash's instructions, Gary walked down the hallway, and soon saw the door with ‘Manager Elanor’ written on a plaque. He gave it a knock a couple of times until he heard a few words.

“Who is it?” A female voice asked from the inside.

“It's Gary, from the AFA.” He answered.

Immediately the door swung open, but instead of Elanor, he was greeted by a girl with a bright smile, Clem.

“Gary, you're here!” Clem cheered, immediately grabbing his hand, making his heart rate go faster as she dragged him into the room. “Come, let me introduce you to everyone.”

Inside the room, Elanor was in the midst of talking to three other people, all of them stood out just as much as Clem. Turning her head, the manager noticed his arrival.

“Oh, Gary, you're already here? I’m sorry, I believed you would only come later.” Elanor apologised. “Please sit down, it’s great that you’re already here. Allow me introduce you to the people that will be with you for the next week.”
