CHAPTER 51: PERFECT TEN ACROSS THE BOARD

The host laughed, then turned towards Jensen Sterling with the microphone, asking, "Mr. Sterling, the audience seems so enthusiastic, why not satisfy our curiosity a little?"

"Is there anything special on your schedule that brought you here, Mr. Sterling?"

Jensen Sterling laughed helplessly, took the microphone, and said, "Nothing special. My agent mentioned there’s a show going on, and since I had some free time, I thought I’d check it out."

Just when everyone thought it was simply that, a light chuckle came through the microphone.

"My agent also casually asked me to see if there are any kids we can sign to our company."

The scene went silent for a few seconds, then erupted into more enthusiastic noise.

Wow, this is thrilling!

The superstar is here to scout talent, and the award-winning actor is also here scouting talent—two kings meeting, competing on the same stage!

You can’t deny, the audience sure has a wild imagination.

Host: "Mr. Sterling, have you seen anyone you are interested in after all this time?"

Everyone began to keenly listen.

Jensen Sterling chuckled and then said, "I really do have my eye on a young lady."

The audience erupted in astonishment.

Host: "Who might that be?"

Even though the host had an idea, he still had to ask.

On stage, Jensen Sterling chuckled, turned his head towards Mia Sutton’s direction, his eyes full of humor as he said, "If you’re interested, you could sign with our company."

Although their company primarily focuses on film and television, they’re also quite strong in other areas, offering various resources for Mia Sutton to develop in whichever direction she chooses.

Nolan Sinclair, sitting in the special guest seats below, laughed, his almond-shaped eyes sparkling and full of charm, making it even harder to resist: "Is Mr. Sterling planning to steal talent from me?"

Jensen Sterling laughed, "Not exactly stealing; I just think the young lady is really quite impressive."

Then he looked at Mia Sutton, "Of course, the choice is yours. You decide where to go, and Prosperity Group will always be open to you."

The audience and the host on stage were astonished; they didn’t expect Jensen Sterling to say such words.

That was equivalent to a promise, spoken by Jensen Sterling himself, and it wouldn’t be changed!

What they didn’t anticipate was that both were interested in the same person, who already had a company contract.

Mia Sutton lifted her eyes and looked at Jensen Sterling with confusion—what was he up to?

Jensen Sterling didn’t speak, just smiled lightly.

A few seconds later, Mia Sutton picked up the microphone, "Thank you to both teachers, I will consider this matter carefully."

Once the words came out, not only the audience was surprised, but even the host beside her was shocked.

Considering that Prosperity and Morning Light are top-tier companies in the industry—one focusing on film, the other on music—it’s incredibly rare for both to extend an olive branch simultaneously; most people would be overwhelmed with excitement, yet Mia Sutton said she’d consider.

The host realized this couldn’t continue like this and quickly pulled the show back on track.

"It seems our contestant is quite popular, so let’s see what rating the mentors give for ’Cocoon’?"

The mentors had given their ratings before speaking, and now they revealed their score cards. The cameras scanned over them one by one.

A neat row of 10s—all 10s, astonishingly unanimous.

Even though Chester Sheffield had opinions about Mia Sutton, he maintained basic professional integrity, not letting personal opinions affect his judgment of the overall performance.

Host: "It looks like our ’Cocoon’ stage is very successful, earning the highest rating from the mentors today. Next, let’s see what score Mr. Sinclair gives to ’Cocoon’, shall we?"

Nolan Sinclair leaned back against his chair and casually picked up the score card.

An eye-catching 10 appeared in the center of the score card.

Perfect 10 across the board!

First perfect 10 across the board! And likely the only one!

The host laughed, "Seeing Mr. Sinclair’s previous scores, I thought we wouldn’t see a 10 this time."

Nolan Sinclair raised an eyebrow, saying, "Who doesn’t love a good show? ’Cocoon’s adaptation was perfect—it’s not surprising to give it a ten."

Though speaking, his gaze fell in Jensen Sterling’s direction.
