Teacher Li Qinghe taught for two hours straight. She wasn't the type to read from a PowerPoint presentation and let students figure things out on their own. Her classes were more serious, and she liked to suddenly describe a scene mid-lecture, asking students to come on stage and improvise. First, the students would evaluate each other, and then the teacher would comment.
An Jiu and the other two benefited a lot from the two classes this morning. Li Qinghe also enjoyed it very much and had a smile on his face when he left the classroom.
Shi Xirou had already brewed Hongmeng Han fruit dried tea, "Teacher Li, you've worked hard, have some tea."
"You're so thoughtful," Li Qinghe praised, taking a sip slowly. The tea was sweet and the temperature was just right. His dry throat felt like a well meeting a spring, and it came alive again. Soon, the cup of tea was empty. Li Qinghe had the illusion that his throat felt a little better than before class.
"Teacher Li, how are they doing?"
"They're all talented kids. I'm very optimistic about Ling Xiao. He's got strong adaptability, can act out any role, and is willing to take risks. You should have him work hard on practicing his Mandarin.
Xiao Xue has taken professional classes and has a good foundation in lines, but his acting is a bit rigid, he can't let go, and he lacks confidence.
Anjiu is a very smart kid. He plays villains with great power. If you didn't know him, you'd think he'd killed someone. He's still young, so he can't lag behind in his academics. His handwriting is like a dog's crawling."
Shi Xirou: "... Yeah, okay."
You are right, that kid really killed someone.
"Teacher Li, lunch is ready on the seventh floor. How about eating before going home?"
"That's fine. I haven't had a proper tour of your company today."
Shi Xirou took her arm and said softly, "I'll go shopping with you after lunch."
"You're so thoughtful," Li Qinghe patted her hand with satisfaction. "The college entrance examination results are coming out soon, so what major are you planning to apply for?"
"The results will be out on the 23rd. I plan to enroll in journalism and come to Fire Phoenix to work directly in my senior year."
"That's right. Once Ling Xiao and the others are up and running, your company won't be too bad."
Shi Xirou covered her mouth and laughed, "Now we have to rely on Teacher Li's hard work to cultivate it. Good seedlings cannot be cultivated without a good gardener."
Li Qinghe felt better when he heard this.
The company has a small staff, the boss is easy-going, and the employees have no intention of involution, especially the apocalyptic four-member group. As soon as it is time for dinner, they rush to the cafeteria and shout in the group that it is time to eat.
When Shi Xirou and Li Qinghe went over, everyone was eating except the Dongqing sisters who were huddled in the office immersed in playing with their phones.
Ye Qiqi held up her phone and called out, "Boss, you and the girls are on the trending search list! Everyone is asking who our new colleagues are today."
An Jiu stretched his neck and chattered, "When she was little, her sister's face was blocked by Big Brother Zhang. Otherwise, more people would praise her. Some people even call Big Brother Zhang husband!"
"Brother Zhang is very handsome, okay? I think netizens have good taste."
"Yeah, yeah, I thought so too."
While the female colleagues were chatting animatedly, the person involved, Zhang Yiwei, automatically closed his ears, opened his mouth, and immersed himself in the world of food.
Li Qinghe sighed: "Young people are really energetic."
"You're not old at all."
Li Qinghe smiled and touched his crow's feet. "I'm already over 50 years old."
Shi Xirou stopped picking up the food and looked at her face carefully, saying sincerely, "Teacher, you look to be in your early forties."
Shi Xirou paused for a few seconds and continued, "Teacher, if you don't mind, I'd like to give you two bottles of face cream and a few antioxidant moisturizing masks. They're my grandmother's recipe, and the packaging is simple, but the effect is better than what's generally available on the market."
"I did hear that Jing bought face cream from you?"
The Ajing mentioned by Li Qinghe is Zhang Xiaoqing's mother's friend.
"Yes, Sister Jing is also a loyal customer of our family. If it is convenient for you, I would like you to bring two pieces to Sister Jing to thank her for taking care of me."
Li Qinghe thought of the changes in his niece and felt a little moved. "Then the teacher will accept it."
"It's okay, I'll get it to you in the office later."
——
Later, Li Qinghe learned that Shi Xirou sold a bottle of facial cream for 50,000 yuan and a facial mask for 10,000 yuan, but many people still flocked to buy them.
She's also used it herself, and the results are truly remarkable: the spots on her face have gradually faded, her crow's feet, nasolabial folds, and forehead wrinkles have all faded, and her skin has become much tighter. Even her husband is wondering how she's become so much younger after retirement, and whether she's secretly gotten cosmetic injections without his knowledge.
Li Qinghe felt that Shi Xirou was capable of handling things, and she really liked this calm and patient child. After taking a few classes at Fire Phoenix Entertainment, she also took Ling Xiao and Xue Bingbing to the Grand Theater to observe and learn, and act with the drama actors.
Ling Xiao and Xue Bingbing were thrilled. What did this mean? It meant they were about to meet even more powerful people. This was the National Centre for the Performing Arts. Although they weren't participating in the official performance, they had never dared to imagine such an experience before.
After this incident, Ling Xiao and Xue Bingbing worked even harder, burying themselves in the performance studio. Ling Xiao would spend the first light of day on the tenth floor practicing Mandarin, learning foreign languages on his own, and diligently watching old movies.
Xue Bingbing could no longer recall the pain of a broken heart. All she had in her mind was "to be famous, to win awards, and to step onto a bigger stage." She carefully observed her colleagues, especially the Dongqing sisters. Once, she even performed a sister show in the cafeteria, playing multiple roles by herself.
Can't let go? That's all the Xue Bingbing of the past.
As for Anjiu, it wasn’t that Teacher Li didn’t want to play with him, but Director Dou took him away early, and Anjiu missed the opportunity.
This is all because of Shi Xirou.
When she sent facial masks to Li Qinghe, she remembered that Director Dou's cousin had also helped her, so she sent her five pieces and asked her to help promote the new product.
Unexpectedly, the rich sister misunderstood and sent a message to Director Dou asking him to pay more attention to the young actor she recommended.
Director Dou had an impression of An Jiu, and the crew happened to have found a few horses, so Director Dou wanted An Jiu to practice horse riding. Unexpectedly, An Jiu was an excellent horseman and could shoot arrows while riding a horse, and he never missed a shot, which shocked all the outsiders present.
Bai Yang looked at him with a sullen face, and then he and An Jiu would never come back.
Because the screenwriter was deeply inspired, he decided to temporarily give Anjiu more scenes. This is not the most important thing. Director Dou’s friend was also present that day and invited Anjiu to guest star in his crew.
Bai Yang and An Jiu didn't return from Hengdian until the day the college entrance examination results came out.
