From Trash to Treasure: The Sinclair Family's Beloved Genius Chapter 67: The Open Audition Begins

"No."

Gabriel refused without a second thought.

But after he spoke, he turned and said, "Dad, Ethan, Chloe asked to tell you to go grab a coffee. She’ll co find you after her audition is over."

When they heard this, the two n looked utterly opposed to the idea.

Ethan’s eyes darkened. He walked over to Gabriel. "And what about you?"

"Of course I’m going in with her. It’s not hard for a Best Actor like to get a look inside a TV station."

The mont he finished speaking, the looks on Mr. Sinclair and Ethan’s faces changed completely.

Ethan said coolly, "Oh, is that right? So it wouldn’t be hard for you to bring Dad and along, then?"

Gabriel: "..."

He finally realized he’d been tricked.

He was fuming but didn’t dare show it, his eyes filled with indignation.

Even after leading them backstage, he remained so angry that he stood with his back to his father and brother.

Chloe sighed in exasperation when she saw this.

The audition hadn’t started yet, so she ordered coffee for everyone, which earned her another round of complints.

Half an hour later, the auditions officially began, and Chloe prepared to leave the backstage area.

A full three thousand people were participating in this audition. She had drawn her number online two days prior and was assigned to the final group.

Each group had one hundred contestants, and each round of auditions took about twenty minutes to complete.

Chloe went to the main hall with the others, found her assigned seat, and sat down.

There were over twenty caras in the hall. The mont she sat down, she noticed quite a few of them were pointed directly at her.

Even though it was just the open auditions, the production team was taking it very seriously. After all, they could edit the footage and post it online later for publicity.

He was in the control room backstage, monitoring the recording. He was taken aback when he saw that fifteen of the twenty-seven caras were aid at the sa contestant.

When he got a clear look at the girl’s face on the monitor, he was stunned.

"Cara one and three, focus on contestant 99. The rest of you, cover the other contestants."

After giving the order, he stared intently at Chloe’s image on the screen, and his heart suddenly jolted.

He’d been thinking the girl on screen looked familiar, but he couldn’t quite place her.

’But just now, it hit . Isn’t that Chloe Sinclair? The one who’s been causing such a stir online lately?’

’What’s she doing at this audition?’

’Then again, I heard she placed first on her exams, so she must have so real talent.’ With that thought, it all started to make sense.

"Release the question."

The mont the director spoke, the crew backstage got the ssage.

And so, "Number Klotski" appeared on the large screen for the audition.

Everyone was stunned when they saw the rules on the screen.

Everyone had expected questions on things like astronomy or geography. When the actual challenge was revealed, they were all dumbfounded.

The challenge before them was actually a ga.

For a mont, so people were completely at a loss.

Number Klotski is a very simple puzzle. The goal is to slide numbered tiles into their correct order.

The less ti and fewer moves you take, the faster your brain is processing.

It tests a person’s overall cognitive abilities.

The challenge this ti was to arrange the numbers 1 through 30 in the correct order in the shortest amount of ti.

"Victory or defeat can be decided in a matter of milliseconds. I hope you all give it your best shot."

"The tir starts now!"

The mont the chanical voice sounded, many of the contestants lowered their heads and began to work on the puzzle.

The director in the control room grew tense as well. But when he looked at the feed showing Chloe, he froze.

"Cara one, close-up on her face. Cara three, get a close-up of her hands."
