Set sail again

Before she even went to the headquarters for the appointment, Wen Xuanyi told her that the headquarters had no objections to the special episode, and since she wanted to do it, she should just go for it.

Xu Changjia reviewed her own notes and decided to go online a few days later on what the old man had said was his son's birthday, as a gift for their family reunion.

The elderly people who listen to the language of flowers are not very good at using smartphones. Whenever she thinks about it, she is still filled with emotion. She can only try to get Wen's assistant to contact the village chief through various means to give them more care and help.

If they don't want to leave the town, then let's find a way to get their families to go back and stay with them.

The special episode did achieve the effect she wanted after it was released, sparking widespread social discussion.

People are amazed by how heartwarming each story she tells through her lens is, yet it also reveals a melancholic undertone. At the same time, they begin to reflect on whether they have been neglecting their families and whether they have become estranged from their relatives and friends.

On an ordinary afternoon, she picked up her newly written book, "Old Dreams of Mountains and Rivers," and planned to go to Nan'an University again to ask her mentor, Professor Xu, for some guidance.

I received a phone call from the village chief. The call lasted only three minutes, but it was full of words of gratitude.

It turns out that the old man who sells chickpea jelly also saw the documentary she filmed on TV, and every word he said expressed his longing for his children.

These past two days have been his son's 35th birthday. After discussing it with his wife, they decided that every one or two months they would bring his grandchildren back to stay for a couple of days to keep him company.

Or, to put it another way, we would pick him up and take him to the city to celebrate holidays together.

In short, everything is going in the direction she hoped for, which is undoubtedly a good omen.

After the old man finished speaking with her, the phone was returned to the village chief, who expressed his gratitude to Xu Changjia on behalf of all the villagers.

Since the documentary "Old Dreams of Mountains and Rivers" was released, many tourists have come to take photos and check in at the same places featured in the film. Suddenly, the traffic to Tinghuayu has increased, people are willing to spend money here, and the villagers' income has also increased. Everyone is all smiles.

In addition, her investment in the town has provided a more comprehensive education for the children who live with their grandparents, truly raising Tinghuayu's standard of living to a new level.

These are things that Xu Changjia has always dared to think about but not dare to do, and now they are gradually becoming a reality. In addition to joy, she is also filled with gratitude.

She is grateful to SOUL World for giving her a second chance, allowing her to do her part to help more people.

Today, she hopes that her books can be seen by more people, so that everyone can participate in the attention and protection of these centuries-old ethnic folklore traditions.

When she handed the completed second volume of her book to Professor Xu, he noticed her cheerful mood and asked, "What's up? Did you find some money on the street today?"

She dragged over an empty chair, sat down next to Professor Xu, and told him the story of the special episode of "Old Dreams of Mountains and Rivers" that she had filmed.

Upon hearing this, Professor Xu gently patted her shoulder and invited her to his home for dinner on Saturday.

Um?

I?

Should we have dinner at Professor Xu's house on Saturday?

He had classes to attend, so he left the manuscript of the new book behind and went to class, which made it inconvenient for him to chat with her for long.

Xu Changjia also slung his bag over his shoulder and followed him out of the office.

"By the way, Professor, I've found a job. It seems to be a company owned by one of your friends."

Upon hearing the name, Professor Xu stroked his chin and chuckled; he truly valued talent.

"Don't hold back because of me, you're worth the price."

The two were about to part ways when they reached the school gate and the teaching building that Professor Xu was heading to. Staring at the girl's departing figure, he was filled with emotion.

Even though he inherited a fortune of hundreds of millions, he was still forever alone.

As the old saying goes, "A teacher for a day is a father for life."

Since she has no parents, let him, as her master, give her the love and care she deserves.

The first step is to introduce her to her teacher's wife.

Xu Changjia was completely unaware that her mentor, Professor Xu, had transformed into a mother hen and started worrying about her life.

Today she is going to the TV station to finalize the recording details of the second season of "Old Dreams of Mountains and Rivers" with Wen Xuanyi.

He kept wondering who the helper he mentioned was. Could it be that he sent Ou Liyao?

Judging by the timeline, her first leading role in a drama has only just started filming and will take at least three to five months to finish, so it's probably unlikely that she'll be invited to participate.

Aside from Ou Liyao and Zheng Ruoqian, she really couldn't think of anyone else worth her senior's mystery.

With this mindset in mind, she arrived at the TV station and sat in the reception room of the office building where Wen Xuanyi worked.

However, the transparent glass wall made the people in the opposite office particularly conspicuous.

Everyone was working, busy and bustling, with only the sound of keyboards clicking rapidly. Only he had a large comic book covering his entire face, flipping through it every now and then.

That curiosity returned to his stomach, and he leaned back, relaxing completely.

She waited in the reception room for about three to five minutes, and before she could go over to greet the person, someone came to take her to find Director Wen.

Director Wen?

No wonder the memory book told her that Wen Xuanyi's mission progress bar was at 100% and he had become a director. It was definitely going to be a showdown at the top.

"Did you see your helper?"

She smiled and looked at the person sitting in the boss's chair. "You arranged this on purpose?"

No sooner had they finished speaking than the man appeared lazily in front of them.

"Long time no see."

The scholar chuckled and scolded, but still poured tea for the two children and brought them two plates of snacks.

After watching the two sweet-toothed individuals eat and drink their fill, he finally presented them with the plan offered by the television station.

He had already read the proposal and had no objections, nor did he feel that there was anything that needed to be changed. However, his juniors had very imaginative ideas and might need to add some details.

Xu Changjia did indeed list out a series of points, asking him to include all the precautions, and also mentioned the issue of funding.

At this point, Zhang Yuning finally spoke up, "Director Wen, how much is the meal allowance per person per day? Is it enough for me to eat some small cakes?"

"That's enough. The allowance for each person's main meal is thirty, and breakfast is fifteen. You never get up to eat breakfast, so a bowl of noodles or a boxed meal is enough for your main meal. The rest is naturally enough for you to buy a cake."

He didn't care much about other things, so he took out his comic book again, leaned back in his chair, and flipped through it while the two of them agreed on the terms.

After chatting for half an hour, we finally decided to go out on the day of the Autumn Equinox, heading west and visiting all nine cities along the coast as material for the second season of "Old Dreams of Mountains and Rivers".

In addition to the three of them, a small team of four people was added to the filming team, making a total of seven people who set off and returned after two months.

Two months. Xu Changjia calculated the time. It was a full twenty or thirty days less than last time. But this time it was official business, and she could travel at public expense. So it was fine if she had less time.

After finishing their business, Wen Xuanyi inquired about Zhang Yuning's recent situation.

After quitting his job, he would go to record a show one or two days a week, and spend the rest of his time at home reading comics or playing online games. He still wanted to think about something meaningful, so when his senior colleague asked him to record the second season of "Old Dreams of Mountains and Rivers" together, he readily agreed.

Soon, it was time for Zheng Ruoqian to record "Galaxy Reserve" for the second time, and it was another weekend.

This recording session was the most crowded and noisiest ever, but once the five mentors and managers came on stage, the whole place fell silent.

According to the competition rules, the first round will watch all the members' initial stage performances, and then they will be scored one by one from 1 to 10.

Based on the combined scores of the five teachers, those with a total score of 8 or above will be admitted to Class A.

Students with a total score of 6-8 will be admitted to Class B;

Students with a total score of 3-5 will be placed in Class C.

Students with a total score below 5 will be placed in Class D.

The first stage they watched was performed by artists from the same company as their dance instructor, Lu Qing.

The performance was a classic piece, and everyone was very nervous during the short three minutes. They couldn't let their dance moves go, and their little faces were tense, with smiles that seemed forced.

As soon as the music ended, Zheng Ruoqian held the microphone in front of him and offered a few words of encouragement: "You were the first to go on stage, and I can tell you were under a lot of pressure. But being able to complete the dance without any mistakes is a good start for you all today. Is there anything you would like to say to the other contestants here, or to us mentors?"

One of the bolder trainees gave Zheng Ruoqian a sly smile and said, "Teacher Zheng, I really love one of your performances. Do you want to know which one it is?"

His question lightened the atmosphere considerably.

"Oh, which one is it?"

"If you want to know, give me a heart."

Zheng Ruoqian's dimples were visible on both sides as he smiled at the camera, and a trainee on stage made a heart shape with his hands.

"Ning Haiping, right? Come on, can you tell me now?"

"Not yet, I need a minute to perform a little magic trick."

The stage was given to Ning Haiping, who rearranged Zheng Ruoqian's three singles into a medley. The last song, "werewolf," featured a completely new dance routine where he transformed into a werewolf and climbed up to the judges' seats.

Now, needless to say, everyone in the audience knew that his favorite song was "Werewolf".

Zheng Ruoqian was quite surprised by his adaptation, which had its own unique characteristics and would leave a lasting impression on the audience.

"Okay, thank you for your likes and support. Please give us some time to discuss and decide on your scores and which classes you need to go to."
