"Xixi, breakfast is ready!" Shen Fang and Huang Bo shouted loudly as they ate their breakfast and carried a large bag of food downstairs in front of the girls' dormitory.

A little while later, a small head peeked out from the fourth floor.

"It'll be here soon."

Liu Qianqian turned around with a bright smile, grabbed her Chanel bag, and skipped and hopped out of the dormitory.

Jiang Yiyan pouted: "That's really enough, hmph!!!"

Song Jia smiled slightly: "What's it to you if someone brings you breakfast? Besides, our girls' dormitory has recently received so many new things: air conditioners, washing machines, bathrooms, and feminine hygiene products. The teaching building, the campus, and the classrooms were all donated by President Shen. Yi Yan, I advise you not to have this attitude, otherwise, if people find out, you might become public enemy number one."

"Jia-jie, I said I couldn't stand them showing off their love, I didn't say anything bad about Chen Fang, we're classmates."

Huang Shengyi pouted: "I really don't understand why President Shen dotes on that little brat of her so much."

Bian Xiaoxiao was speechless: "She's still young? She's older than me, okay? Besides, her face is already stunning. I'm telling you, we're all roommates, can't we all try to be nice to her? We'll still be best friends in the future, but she's clearly going to be a big star, and she and President Shen are childhood sweethearts, inseparable since they were little. We all know what's going on. Can't you all be a little smarter?"

Song Jia nodded: "What you said makes sense. Although you might feel uncomfortable trying to please me, I think people should know themselves. Being best friends is very beneficial. As for other things, let's not think about them. We have no chance."

Jiang Yiyan gritted her teeth inwardly. Why had she had to say that extra thing during the exam? They were a perfect match; she might have had the advantage of proximity, and now she could very well be Shen Fang's girlfriend. One wrong step led to another. She never imagined Shen Fang would be such a golden dragon. If heaven gave her another chance, she would definitely pounce on him.

Shen Fang presented the tribute, and Liu Qianqian began to enjoy it. Huang Bo glanced at Liu Qianqian, who looked like a fairy.

"Tsk, it hasn't been that long, and you've gotten even more beautiful."

Liu Qianqian chuckled: "Thank you for the compliment, Uncle Huang Bo."

"Alright, uncle it is then. Let's go, we can eat as we walk."

The three walked through the campus, where construction teams were everywhere, pruning and planting trees, laying lawns, building playgrounds, and replacing facilities. This time, Beijing Film Academy has really undergone a major overhaul. With money now, it's natural to want to do a good job of renovations.

"Wow, 200 million? You just donated it like that. Fang'er, you're really generous."

Shen Fang smiled and said, "It's my alma mater, so it's no big deal to help out if I can. I'm just rich."

Huang Bo rubbed his teeth.

Liu Qianqian had already finished eating.

"Xixi, Brother Chenfang," Liu Shishi waved to the two of them.

"Hey, Shishi, why didn't you say hello to me?"

Liu Shishi stuck out her tongue: "Who told you to keep scaring me on set?"

Huang Bo chuckled and said, "I was just teasing you. By the way, our 'My Own Swordsman' cast is having a get-together this weekend."

"Wow, that's great! It's been so long since I've seen Sister Cherry, Sister Yanni, Brother Jiang Chao, and Brother Sha Yi. I really miss them."

Liu Qianqian raised her hand: "Take me with you, take me with you, I want to go too."

Liu Qianqian naturally loves "My Own Swordsman." This trendy TV series, after its release, received very polarized opinions. Young people who understood it considered it a masterpiece, while older viewers thought it was too noisy and incomprehensible. Overall, however, the response was quite positive.

"No problem, we'd be happy for Fairy Sister to go. Fang'er, are you going?"

Liu Shishi looked at Shen Fang expectantly. Shen Fang patted Liu Shishi's head: "I'm an investor, so of course I'll go to your gathering."

"Yay, that's great!" Liu Shishi said happily.

Liu Qianqian glanced at Liu Shishi and said, "Shifei, you mustn't compete with me for my favor, or I'll spank your little bottom."

As for classes, Shen Fang asked Wang Jinsong to reschedule his classes. After all, becoming an actor was unlikely. Given his background, he could be an actor occasionally, but he still wanted to be a director.
