Ji Jinyao shook her head and sighed, "These days, there aren't many people who can still persevere like this, so I wanted to retire in the past two years, but I'm worried about the artists I've been raising, so I can only partially retire."
"In that case, why don't we get down to business? Regarding Qiao Qiudie, the only talented person in the company, what does Miss Zhao think?"
"I don't have any opinion. If you know Mr. Huo, it shouldn't be difficult to find out. I'm the type of person who doesn't trust someone unless I employ him. You can make the decision. As an outsider, I have complete confidence in your professionalism."
"So free? Very good, I appreciate it. I don't have anything else to say. After all, it's better to do than to say. Why don't you allow me to say goodbye first? I still have to go and communicate with Miss Qiao next." Ji Jinyao stood up and prepared to leave.
Zhao Mei also stood up and said goodbye to her, watching Ji Jinyao come and go in a carefree manner. After sitting down, she picked up the cold coffee again and looked at the street outside through the glass window.
In the eyes of outsiders passing by the coffee shop, a gorgeous beauty with slightly frowned eyebrows, loose hair, and dark and crystal eyes looking out the window blankly, is as beautiful as a painting and almost a living advertisement.
Suddenly, more and more people crowded into the coffee shop. Everyone looked at the beauty, everyone wanted to smooth her brows, but no one dared to get close.
But in fact, this so-called "melancholy" beauty is now cursing in the system space.
"Xiao Lan! You scared me to death, you know that! Is this how you get the mission reward?"
[Host, this is the only method that complies with the laws of your world. After all, few people are as perceptive as she is. She was able to come up with so much just through the headhunting company, and it's not a problem with the system.]
"So your mission rewards are too unreliable, right? Haven't you considered the possibility of failure?"
[The rewards issued by the system are carefully calculated, and the failure rate is infinitely close to zero. ]
Zhao Mei was so frightened that her hair stood on end, and she felt a wave of fear in her heart. You know, the system is her biggest secret. Although her reason told her that if she told others about such a fantastic thing, they would just think she was joking, she didn't dare to gamble.
Looking at the coffee in her hand, she subconsciously took a sip. The cold taste stimulated her senses and made Zhao Mei regain some energy.
With a slight sigh of relief, Zhao Mei felt more and more that the tasks issued by the system made sense, even though the system had its own way of handling rewards. So far, Ji Jinyao was the only one in this situation. All the fears today were just her own imagination. However, if she could establish her own business empire as soon as possible and endorse the accidents that might happen to her, it would also give her confidence and peace of mind.
Zhao Mei thought it through and tried her best to get rid of her bad thoughts. After all, ever since she became thinner, more beautiful and rich, she has actually had no motivation. As an ordinary person, she really didn't have any big ambitions. But now it's different. She has realized the truth that a man is innocent but guilty of possessing a treasure.
Putting down the empty coffee cup, Zhao Mei picked up her phone and walked out of the coffee shop. She skillfully ignored the gazes on her and hurried back to the dormitory. She had to review for Subject 4 in the afternoon and had a party in the evening. Time was always in a hurry, leaving no time for thinking or hesitation. If there was anything to do, she might as well do it first.
When Zhao Mei looked up from the driving test question bank again, it was already dark. She looked at the time and thought the performance should be about to start. She packed up, had a meal, and went to see the evening party on the way.
After being stared at twice, Zhao Mei finally learned to wear a mask when the air quality is good. After all, not everyone likes to be stared at like a spectacle animal.
Although wearing a mask couldn't hide her temperament, and she was still mistaken for a star by several younger schoolmates, but after explaining carefully, she successfully sat in the seat reserved for her by Qiu Jiahe and waited quietly for the performance to begin.
In the official performance, the drama club's program was actually placed in a relatively middle position, which was a time when everyone was still relatively excited.
This play, "The Apartment," targets the LGBTQ community. It tells a romantic tragedy and comedy, told through the lens of the transgender protagonists and their neighbors and friends. How can those who are not accepted by the world convince themselves to accept themselves? Can a love that is not supported by others continue to work together? Even if all difficulties are overcome, who knows when the unexpected will strike?
The carefully rehearsed drama is exceptionally moving, with down-to-earth apartment setting, makeup that fits the character design, and gags that are profound yet funny. Everything is a prelude to telling this story well.
In the final act, the hero and heroine who had overcome everything were unable to defeat the unexpected disease. The heroine, played by Qiu Jiahe, fell into the arms of the hero due to HPV infection after being deliberately scratched by a crazy friend. Before this, the hero was on the verge of collapse due to his family's lack of understanding and his former friend's disgust for his exposure. The death of the heroine at this time became the last straw that broke the camel's back. God took away his last support and his last sanity. The male protagonist, who had completely become a floating duckweed, chose without hesitation to accompany the heroine to the end of her soul.
The story ends with the hero lying on the bed with a smile on his face. The curtain falls, all the stories are over, and the stage falls into a long silence. The relaxed and funny atmosphere in the first half of the play, coupled with the repressed and struggling daily life in the latter part, makes everyone calm down their emotions. Zhao Mei also hears the sobbing beside her.
I have to say, it was a truly wonderful performance. All the performers gathered in front of the curtain half a minute later and bowed. The silence was instantly broken and the audience burst into applause. Zhao Mei also clapped proudly. Qiu Jiahe on the stage quickly found Zhao Mei's position and smiled slightly.
After the drama club's show ended, Qiao Qiudie's personal song and dance performance was about to begin. As the next show, it was not easy to mobilize the emotions of the audience who had been carried away by the previous drama. However, with her cool look, slightly smoky voice, and skillful and difficult street dance, she successfully took on this responsibility and made the whole place excited again.
Zhao Mei looked at the girl beside her who had been secretly wiping away tears just now, and was now jumping and singing loudly. She felt deeply old. It was really scary that she could still be so energetic after experiencing such great joy and sorrow.
Suddenly, the phone in my pocket vibrated, and I found that it was a text message from Ji Jinyao.
"Ms. Zhao, I had something urgent to do this morning, so I only saw Qiao Qiudie this afternoon. I happened to catch a performance while I was there. How about we meet backstage later? Even though you don't mind, I still feel obligated to discuss her career path with you."
"Okay, I'll be there after the party." After Zhao Mei replied, she looked up and continued to watch the party, but in her heart she was wondering what tricks this person was trying to play. It would be best if she really just wanted to talk about Qiao Qiudie.
The party was not long, lasting only two hours in total. This was because the drama club, which was the school's flagship, took fifty minutes to perform. By the time the show ended, Zhao Mei was already tired of watching it. She sighed that she was indeed getting old as she walked backstage.
