A few days after the joint rehearsal ended, Capital University officially announced the holiday, and Zhao Mei and Qiu Jiahe also welcomed seven days of freedom. Although one needed to hurry up to get a driver's license and the other needed to continue rehearsing with the drama club, this holiday for the two of them seemed like no holiday at all.
Zhao Mei hadn't seen the rehearsal version of Qiu Jiahe with a gloomy face for a long time. Basically, she would rehearse for as long as she went out to learn driving. Every night when she returned to the dormitory, she would almost fall asleep immediately on the bed. Except for the two days when she didn't have extra training and could stay awake for two hours to complain about their president, most of the time she could only stay awake for a few hours before rehearsals during the day.
In addition, because Zhao Jing had gone to help Huo Cailiang, Zhao Mei simply lived in the school. It was a double dormitory that she asked the counselor to transfer her to after the incident. Although the price was a bit high, there was unlimited electricity, hot water all day, and even an aunt to help with washing clothes. It was simply the ultimate enjoyment.
This day was the last day of the holiday. The night before, Qiu Jiahe moved into the dormitory like a zombie as usual, and then fell heavily on the bed. Zhao Mei, who had finished the third subject exam in the morning, watched her fall calmly, and did not forget to take her bag and help her take off her clothes. Qiu Jiahe, who had lost all her strength, fell asleep with her eyes black.
When Zhao Mei woke up, it was already noon. She was sitting at her desk, browsing her phone. Seeing Qiu Jiahe wake up, she asked skillfully, "I was so tired I fell asleep yesterday. So, is Yan Zhi turning into the devilish president again? Did he ask you to do extra training?"
"Don't even mention it. That devil, how could he rehearse for a whole day? He became like a robot by the end!" Qiu Jiahe stared at the ceiling with lifeless eyes and started talking. In his hoarse voice, which was endangered by overuse, he didn't forget to complain harshly about Yan Zhi. "Fortunately, he spared our lives because of the performance tomorrow. We don't have to go today, otherwise I think I would have died on the stage."
Zhao Mei calmly advised, "It's not that serious. No matter how you think about it, you should let him die on the stage. Don't punish yourself for someone else's mistakes."
One of them lay down all day, while the other played with his phone all day. They relied on takeout for all their meals, completely putting Zhao Jing's worries behind them, and spent half a day happily and comfortably.
Before going to bed, Qiu Jiahe didn't forget to complain: "This holiday is better off not taking place. I was actually dreaming that we would have the chance to go out for two days. It's hilarious. You learn to drive every day, and on my side, that devil Yan Zhi was full of classes before. He was a little afraid of us, but after the holiday, he has no intention of letting us go. I'm speechless."
Zhao Mei, lying on the bed, gave her a thumbs-up in agreement. "Now that I think about it, you're absolutely right. But you still have a performance tomorrow and rehearsals this afternoon, right? You're not going to sleep at all, are you?"
Thinking of tomorrow's performance, Qiu Jiahe closed his mouth in despair.
The next day, on the day of the celebration performance, Qiu Jiahe was called away early, and Zhao Mei was also awakened early by a sudden phone call.
"Hello? Hello, Miss Zhao."
"Hello? Hello, who are you?"
"My name is Ji Jinyao. I wonder if we can meet today?"
Zhao Mei suddenly woke up after hearing the name: "Yes, sure, where are you planning to go?"
"I understand you're still a student at Capital University? How about we meet at the coffee shop in the commercial street across from Capital University? What time are you free?"
"The location is fine, and I'm available anytime."
"Okay, Miss Zhao, I'll be there in half an hour. I look forward to meeting you."
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Mei quickly washed and dressed, preparing to meet the gold medal agent that the system found for her. How many people who can thrive in this kind of entertainment industry are not smart?
What's more, Ji Jinyao is well-known for her bottom line of rejecting unspoken rules, which makes Zhao Mei admire her even more. After all, she always likes people who stick to their bottom line.
After packing up, Zhao Mei walked to the agreed place, ordered a cup of mocha and sat down. Ji Jinyao thought the same as she did and did not let her wait for long.
A woman with short hair and a long trench coat walked straight towards Zhao Mei after entering the coffee shop. Zhao Mei also saw her face clearly. Her facial features were not delicate, but she only had light makeup on. However, she was covered with bright red lipstick, which boosted her complexion and made her look particularly sharp.
"Hello, is this Miss Zhao? I'm sorry to bother you so early." Ji Jinyao extended her hand before she even sat down.
Zhao Mei smiled and shook her hand. "Hello, hello. It's not too early. After all, Miss Ji Jinyao arrived quite early. I just took advantage of being close to you."
"You're too kind. It's just that meeting ten minutes early has always been the most basic courtesy in my mind, so I have always put it into practice." Ji Jinyao withdrew her hand and sat down.
"So what do you want to talk to me about? I think President Huo should have explained everything about the company to you very clearly." Zhao Mei was called out early in the morning and didn't think about playing Tai Chi with her, so she went straight to the point.
"Ms. Zhao is a smart person, so I won't beat around the bush. I came to you today mainly because, although I'm a top-tier agent and don't have a permanent employment status, I've been on the headhunting market for a long time. But the fact that someone suddenly approached me with the intention of offering me a lifetime contract is still very memorable."
"Any family that can afford this price wouldn't be an ordinary one, right, Miss Zhao? But from what I've learned, none of these known families have a figure as prominent as you."
"Combined with the recent large-scale transfer of shares from Xiangtian Entertainment...it's truly suspicious."
Ji Jinyao glanced at Zhao Mei while talking, but Zhao Mei lowered her eyes and took a sip of the latte she ordered without any change.
