At the Lady Lawrence Ballet School in New York, a Ford, a 45-year-old parked at the door. Sandy walked out of the car and continued to explain to Ai Fei: "...this is our destination. It can be said that there are any similar activities in New York City, which are all selected for models here. They have also set up special departments for more and more performances, which are for the service of Mr. Ike."

“Do they have a lot of models here?”

"It accounts for more than one-third of the market. Oh, please come in." In front, he opened the door.

When you walk into the school gate, there is a corridor inside, opposite a wide playground, bright sunlight shines on the bluestone road, and it makes a sound when you walk up. The main building is located on the south side of the playground, full of stones, and looks gray. Several people push open the revolving door of the building again and walk inside, and you can vaguely hear a lady's voice: "Very good, girls, let's do it again now!"

“…demi-pie, grand-pie. Below, we do a third posture drill. Girls, we have practiced yesterday.”

"…………” Walking a little further, the voice gradually disappeared. Tom led the way in front and suddenly turned around and asked, "Mr. Ike, do you know several basic poses of ballet?"

"Wow! This really stumped me, but I just knew the posture of a missionary." (Note

"Puff!" Sandy suddenly felt like she was coughing, and then she made a strange sound as if she was choked: "I'm sorry!"

Tom glared at him and then looked at Ai Fei: "Japanese... is it really the first time you have come to the United States?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"...Nothing. We're here." Tom knocked on the door depressedly and walked into the office.

A few minutes later, they sat on both sides of their desks with a woman in her early 50s. She was the director of the external liaison department of Lawrence Ballet School - that is, people who specialize in dealing with those in need of the school's female students - such as Ai Fei.

When Tom was introducing them, the lady named Dorothy? Mendelssohn only glanced at a little surprised in her eyes, and then she regained her cold true nature. Ai Fei was quite polite and shook hands with the other party, but she was puzzled in her heart: Can such a skill to communicate with different guests, such a lady who looks like an old virgin girl cope? Or is she not interested in such a job at all? In Ai Fei's eyes, she was simply a black dress worn by the nuns of the monastery, covering up all the other parts of her body except her hands and face. What was she afraid that someone would sexually harass her?

With a slander in her stomach, several people sat down opposite her, and Tom said the purpose of the trip. Sure enough, Ai Fei's guess was not wrong at all. Dorothy had no favoritism for these guests who came to the school to find models: "Mr. Wallace..."

"Tom. You can call me Tom."

The lady's mouth twitched: "Mr. Wallace... I know that in many people think that the Lawrence Dance School is just a place for model trading. Countless gentlemen like you come here with a lot of money, like black slaves who have just got off the boat on the beach in the 18th century, selecting girls who have been trained for a long time, and then bring them to the occasions they need, performing different performances to the guests. Believe me, I am so tired of you!"

"……………” Tom rubbed his nose awkwardly: "I think I need to justify it. Ms. Mendelsohn, I am definitely not the one you said. In fact, this is my first time to come to your office. You don't think it's a common thing to lead an Asian into the office of a lady like you in such an era, right?"

“…………”

"I can guarantee like you that this cooperation will be very...decent and relaxed. I will never let your girls suffer any verbal or physical harm. It can even be said that they will definitely be treated like a princess and all the care that a lady deserves."

His words were really inappropriate, but they could barely dispel Dorothy's anger - she could not make the decision! Otherwise, she would rather close the school than allow people like Tom to enter. She pondered for a while: "I don't have the right models in my hands now. If you must want, I can lead you to the girls who are practicing, all of them are newcomers."

How could Ai Fei hears this serious old virgin girl like a madam who forces girls to be in a certain film and television work! She is still fucking 'all newcomers'? She won't ask me for deflowering fees, right? He just cares about random thoughts and doesn't even hear others say hello to him: "Uh...what?"

"Mr. Ike, what do you have to say?"

"Opinions, what's the opinion?"

"………………” The three people were speechless at the same time: Are you deaf?

"Ah! I understand. OK, I agree with Mrs. Mendelsohn."

"Miss, Miss Mendelssohn."

"It turns out to be an old virgin!" Ai Fei muttered: "Yes, I agree with Miss Mendelssohn's opinion."

This time it was under Ms. Dorothy. Under the leadership of Miss Dorothy, the three of them walked through the long corridor and came to the door of the classroom. When they pushed the door in, the girls inside were only wearing tight-fitting clothes. When they saw a man coming in, they surrounded him like frightened deer: "I'm sorry, Mrs. Andrew,..."

This is definitely not the first time she has led the guest to the classroom. It can be seen from Mrs. Andrew's face: "Why, it's not the last time..."

"Yes, I know. But the guests who came this time were a bit special. Mr. Ike... Mr. Ike?"

Ai Fei finally had a little self-control and moved his eyes away from the girls' delicate and youthful sweaty faces: "Yes?"

This action further increased Dorothy's disgust towards him, but the other party was a guest no matter how much he said, so he should not be too rude: "Do you think the one in this classroom..."

"Ah, yes." He glanced carefully again: the girls were still barely able to pass the test, but they looked nervous - there were only three strangers present, what if there were more people? Plus, the reporter's photos? I'm afraid they would be like frightened rabbits, and they didn't even dare to take a step in the backstage? By that time, all his efforts were in vain! Thinking of this, he shook his head regretfully: "…………”

"Is there anyone else?"

"There are some..."

Ai Fei nodded in understanding: "I understand. Can you take me to see other girls?"

"Yes, please go here."

When I arrived at another classroom, I could hear the crisp sound of iron-toed shoes trampling on the wooden floor, but there was only such a sound, and there was no teacher instructing me. When I pushed the door open, there were many people inside. In addition to the many female students, there were also a very limited number of male students, and they were dancing the prince and the princess with their partners: "Ladies and gentlemen?"

"..." Hearing the sound, the crowds separated: "Miss Mendelssohn."

Ai Fei felt much better this time than before, at least he didn't have that much fear.

"These are..." Dorothy briefly introduced the identities of several people, and then looked back and glanced: "Gentlemen?"

But as she introduced her, Ai Fei had already looked at the students present for about a while. It was similar to what she saw in the first classroom, but her mental feeling was much stronger. At least she was not as nervous as the former. Seeing that their body shape was not very different, why were they beaten down? Or were there anything particularly outstanding about those who were selected to leave? His eyes fell on several male students, and Ai Fei suddenly had an idea: Can you consider taking some men's clothes? It seems that it is not something that cannot be done, right?

Tom was secretly angry: What's going on with this damn Japanese? Why are you always absent-minded? Or is his eyes falling on the girl? But when he saw him, he didn't look like a pervert's expression! He had to touch him: "Mr. Ike?"

"Ah, yes." Ai Fei came to his senses: "I initially thought it was OK."

"So……?"

Ai Fei suddenly took a step forward and faced the many students: "Ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Ai Fei. You can call me Ike or Mr. Aike in your future cooperation. This time I came to your college to select models for a clothing conference held during Valentine's Day. Because such a conference will have a certain special feature in form, I will screen you."

“…………”

"This time the job of selecting models is very strict, which is very different from many things you know. This point must be explained to everyone in advance. Anyone who is not selected by me will be eliminated in the end. Of course, the salary is also very considerable: I can pay $10 for every lady who passes the choice of work. The male model will be relatively less." After pausing for a while, he continued: "Yes, you heard it right. This time I need not only female models, but also male models. However, compared with female models, the salary of male models is $6 per day. The specific calculation starts from the day when you pass my choice and sign a contract with me. By the way, I hope to get 10 female models and 4 male models."

Tom was shocked: "Mr. Ike, why have you never told me that you also need male models?"

"Wait for a while and explain this to you." Ai Fei smiled and answered in the lowest voice.

The young people standing in front of them looked at each other, and the ones they were most interested in were the boys. After all, the men's fashion market had not yet started yet. Female models could find some similar jobs, so the boys could only live with a meager performance fee. Now... the price of 6 US dollars a day cannot be considered very high, but it is better than nothing. For a moment, the boys whispered to each other regardless of the guests in front of them.

Girls are more reserved and they seem to have a lot of dollars a day, but they still need to train? What kind of training? Can they pass?

Ai Fei saw it: "Training requires everyone to perform according to my orders. Believe me, it is not difficult at all. Especially for the ladies and gentlemen who have received ballet training, it is even simpler. Many people can learn it once they learn it."
