Chapter 292 Be My Teacher

"Let's get going. I have already brought the script that I had told you that I was bringing today." Jack stated.
"Alright." Alex replied somehow expectantly. Although he wasn't sure that the script that Jack was bringing over was good, he decided to believe him anyway.
He then led Jack and Celine to the office that was set aside for the chairman of the company. Before Jack took over the rose entertainment company, there were already a few shareholders in the company. That bald guy, other than being the largest shareholder, he was also the chairperson of the company at that time.
But then again, once Jack took over the position of the chairperson of the company, there were no any other shareholders other than he himself and Celine. As such, the office for the chairperson had been vacant during the past month. Even Jack had not come in here due to the fact that he didn't see the need to do so.
The office was a lavish one. The decorations inside here were really eye catching. It was obvious that the one who was in charge of renovating the room was a top-notch designer. And, that baldy guy was also an extravagant person.
After taking his seat, Jack didn't waste much time. He took out the flash disk that he was carrying in his pocket before he inserted it. After that, he began operating the computer and before long, he managed to open the script that he had already uploaded into the flash disk.
After that, he turned the monitor of the computer to face Alex before he spoke, "This is the script that I was talking about. I hope that you can get our chief scriptwriter to come over and take a look at it. In this way, they can at least verify that what has been brought over is not something that can be used to waste the resources."
"Immediately boss." Alex replied before he rushed out of the office to call over the scriptwriters. Although he had been expectant that the script that Jack would bring over would be of good quality, he had not dared to call over the scriptwriters. The reason behind this was that, he was already used to that.
In the company that he was working in previously, the boss there had always made things this way. As long as he brought over the script, nobody was allowed to inspect it. Instead, the production of that specific script had to start right away.
Not long after, Alex came back with an old man that was wearing glasses. Although he was old, nothing about his posture showed something like that. This old man was the one who was in charge of almost seventy percent of the scripts that had ever been produced by The Rose Entertainment Company.
Of course, just like any other entertainment company, some things were beyond his reach. That was the main reason as to why he only dealt with seventy percent of all the scripts. As for the rest, it was either due to the demands made by the higher-ups or due to the lack of seriousness in the department.
"Welcome boss." The old man gave Jack a slight bow as he greeted him. Although it wasn't that long ever since Jack took over the position of the chairperson of the company, the old man had seen several changes that came by.
"There's no need to be so uptight." Jack waved his hand as he dismissed the old man's gesture. Although it was true that he valued respect, that didn't mean that he liked something so excessive.
After chatting for a while, Jack came to know that the old man was known as Andrew. He was here in the company for over a decade and he was amongst the few higherups that had been retained by Denali after she did the shift in the management.
After that, Andrew went through the script that Jack had brought over. As he continued reading the script, Andrew was getting impressed. He even forgot that he was currently in the chairperson's office and began commenting on the script. He was showing emotions that he had never shown in front of the other colleagues of his.
He wasn't the only person who was reading the script as even Celine was curious about it and so was Alex. As such, the duo also continued reading alongside Andrew. To them, this was really a good story. It was just that, there wasn't a single lead character. It was a fight between a kingdom and the alien race.
Alex on the other hand had seen several scripts already. But, he couldn't help but get impressed by the script that was presented by Jack. He could already tell that, as long as things went well, this was going to be a hit.
"Boss, who is the one that wrote the script? I would like to meet that person to be learn from them." Immediately after he had gone through the script the umpteenth time, Andrew looked at Jack as he questioned, his eyes shining with great expectation.
He wasn't the only one as even Celine and Alex were looking at Jack, curious about who it was that had created such a script.
"Well, I wrote the script yesterday night after I completed the call with you." As he spoke, Jack looked at Alex. He was currently surprised by how enthusiastic these people were. Since he had gotten the professional scriptwriter skill, he had casually decided to write a script that could be brought over.
In other words, this was not a masterpiece at all. But, the way that it had been received was way more than he had expected. All the same, he was glad that the script was okay.
After hearing Jack's words, silence reined in the room for about a whole minute. None of the three could actually believe that Jack was the one that had written the script.
Jack had been writing the script in an impromptu and didn't inform Celine about the matter. As a result, she was surprised to find out that he could also write script. In her mind, she couldn't help but wonder what he couldn't do. He was good at basketball, driving, even scriptwriting, not to mention the fact that he was good at business…. although he leaves almost everything for Denali to handle.
She couldn't help but feel proud that Jack was her man. And at the same time, she was determined to get herself even more useful to Jack. She didn't want to be a person that only depended on Jack for everything.
As for Alex and Andrew, the two of them were slack-jawed. They had never thought that their boss was this skilled. Additionally, when Jack said that he was going to bring over some scripts to deal with the lack of quality scripts, Alex had never thought that Jack was the one that was going to write them!
Andrew on the other hand was already beginning to doubt himself. He was already this old but couldn't actually compete with a youngster? It seemed that the old had to take retirement seriously. But still, he wasn't going to give up on his passion. This was something that he had loved ever since he was young.
At the same time, he was wondering if what Jack had said about writing the script in a single night was true. But in the end, he dismissed it as one of the ways that Jack was using to brag in front of the beautiful lady in the room.
He looked at Jack with shiny eyes as he asked, "Boss, can you take me in as your student?"
Jack had never thought that Andrew was serious about being taken in as a student by the scriptwriter. But looking at the expression that was on his face at the moment, he was sure that as long as he nodded his head, this old man was going to jump in happiness.
But still, he didn't like having such an old man calling him teacher. So, he shook his head in response. And upon seeing that Jack's reply was negative, Andrew was somehow crestfallen.
"Hah, I guess that I was getting ahead of myself. I'm currently too old and my potential has already been eroded by my age." Andrew shook his head as he sighed in dejection.
Seeing how dramatic the old man had become, Jack took a pity on him and said, "Although you aren't going to be my student, I can set some of my time aside so that I can teach you a few things that I know about."
"Yes!" Immediately after he said that, the pitiful expression that was on Andrew's face immediately vanished as he punched his fist into the air. He was currently ecstatic that he forgot that Jack was still in front of him.
For a moment, Jack could swear that he saw a mischievous glint flashing in Andrew's eyes. It turned out that this guy was simply trying to get him to agree teaching him all along!
If possible, Jack would have been shameless enough to take his words back. But as the chairperson of the company, his words carried a lot of weight and he couldn't just speak freely. 'I guess that I'll have to be careful when I'm here. This is an entertainment company where almost everyone is good at acting!' Jack thought to himself internally. At the same time, he made a mental note to look out for the words and actions of this crafty old man.
"Okay then. I hope that the preparations can be made as soon as possible so that the script can be dealt with. Once this one is completed, I'll bring another incase you have yet to find good scripts." Jack stated.
Finally, both Alex and Andrew knew that there was a lot that they had to deal with. As a result, they agreed with Jack and were immediately dismissed from the office to go and handle their own issues.
When only the two of them were left in the office, Celine sat on top of the desk as she gazed at Jack deeply. "It seems that you are good at keeping secrets." She stated after a moment of staring into each other's eyes.
