From Trash to Treasure: The Sinclair Family's Beloved Genius novel Chapter 71

Chapter 71: Chapter 71: Mysterious Mentor

"Sin... Sinclair who?"

The director shot up from his chair.

"Landon Sinclair? You’ve got to be kidding me."

He quickly wracked his brain, trying to think if there was anyone in the entertainment industry with that name. After a moment, he realized there wasn’t.

He looked up at his assistant and asked, "So what did you say to him on the phone?"

The assistant gulped, lowered his head, and answered truthfully, "Pretty much what you just said."

The director was speechless.

He was holding back a litany of curses.

The assistant said defensively, "The guy on the phone sounded exactly like a telemarketer from a pyramid scheme! Besides, I never would have imagined Landon Sinclair would want to be on our show."

Even though their show was state-sponsored, this was Landon Sinclair they were talking about.

He was a man who had twenty million followers with just a single Weibo account.

And no one had ever heard of him having any interest in appearing on television shows.

The director listened to his assistant’s explanation, a headache already forming. He threatened, "You can forget about your bonus this month."

After a pause, he added, "Give me your phone."

"Wh-what for?"

"To call him back, of course."

With that, he took the phone and dialed the number that ended with six sixes.

The call connected in under three seconds, and a calm, deep male voice answered.

"H-Hello, sir."

The director’s voice trembled slightly as he spoke.

"Yes," Landon Sinclair replied without looking up, flipping through some data in his hands.

The director’s heart skipped a beat. "Excuse me, are you truly interested in being the mysterious mentor for our show, *Genius*?"

"I am," Landon said after a brief pause. "When do you need me?"

"In three days. If you could arrive at the television station before 10 AM, someone will be there to greet you."

"Chloe, isn’t this dress beautiful?"

Gabriel Sinclair held the dress up to Chloe Sinclair, suddenly feeling that his little sister would look good in anything.

The ’big brother filter’ was a powerful thing indeed.

Chloe glanced at the price tag and said honestly, "It is pretty."

And the price tag was simply gorgeous.

Hearing this, Gabriel Sinclair declared with a grand wave of his hand, "We’ll take it."

The nearby sales associate hadn’t expected the customer to be so decisive, buying the dress directly without even trying it on.

She enthusiastically bagged the dress and handed it over with a wide smile. "Sir, will that be card or cash?"

"Card."

With that, he took a black card from his wallet.

The corner of Chloe Sinclair’s mouth twitched as she stopped Gabriel Sinclair’s hand. "Gabriel, you don’t have to."
