Just as the two were chatting happily, Chu Jiangyi's phone beeped.
Hello! Who is this?
"It's me! Xu Zi'en!"
"Director! What do you need me for?"
Xu Zien's hearty laughter rang out, "Have you been following our short drama?"
Chu Jiang scratched his head sheepishly; he really hadn't paid much attention to it.
But he was too embarrassed to admit it.
"I've been paying attention. Has something happened?"
Xu Zien smiled and said, "The fact that you can ask this kind of question means you haven't paid attention to it, but it doesn't matter. You are a student now, and your mind is on your studies. I can understand that."
Chu Jiang was also a little confused. What exactly was he trying to say? What was wrong with Xu Zien? Couldn't he just say what he wanted to say? His slow, hesitant manner was making people anxious.
The story was full of twists and turns, making one dizzy, but Chu Jiangyi still patiently listened to it.
"Director! I don't know what brings you here. Please speak freely. I have to go out later, please excuse me."
"Hehe! Look at me, all I do is grin like an idiot. I know you're a busy person, didn't you have to go out just now?"
"I won't bother you anymore. Our drama is a hit, and I'm looking for you again for my next short drama. The salary has increased to 400,000. Do you have time at the end of this month? Let's sit down and have a good talk, and sign the contract while we're at it. If you're worried, bring your Uncle Li with you. He's quite professional. I happen to have a few legal questions to ask him."
“No problem! I’ll be available next month. I’ll talk to Uncle Li in advance and ask him to make time for me. You can contact me anytime to set a specific date.”
"No problem! See you then. If there's nothing else, you go ahead and do your work. I won't bother you!"
"Okay! Goodbye, Director Xu!"
"goodbye!
After hanging up the phone, Chu Jiang pinched his thigh in disbelief.
"It's not a dream, it's not a dream, it's real, hahaha... hahaha..."
Chu Jiang was overjoyed and ran straight to Xi Ran's side, picked her up and spun her around in circles.
Xi Ran was completely bewildered, not knowing what had happened, but gradually became infected by Chu Jiangyi's joy.
"What's wrong? What's making you so happy?"
Chu Jiangyi just kept laughing like an idiot, carrying Xi Ran around and around, not getting tired at all, and even having the potential to continue. Xi Ran was dizzy from being spun around, so she patted Chu Jiangyi's shoulder, signaling him to put her down.
"What happened?"
Chu Jiang chuckled foolishly, unsure where to begin, yet eager to share.
“I’m so happy! The short drama I filmed was a hit. Director Xu Zien said that he’s looking for me again for the next short drama. Filming will start next month, and the salary has been increased to 400,000 yuan. The filming will last for a month, and the filming location is at Shenzhen University, which is right next door. It’s not far. I’ll come back to see you when I have time, and you can come to see me too.”
Xi Ran rolled her eyes at Chu Jiangyi. It's only been a month since they last met.
Is it necessary to go all the way to Shenzhen University to see him?
The round-trip high-speed rail ticket is free?
However, Xi Ran didn't say this aloud, knowing that Chu Jiang also wouldn't like to hear it.
"How about we check the time? We can video chat or text. Running around like this is tiring, don't you think?"
Chu Jiang also smiled and said, "I'm not tired! As long as I can see you, I'm happy. I don't feel tired no matter how tired I am."
Xi Ran declared beforehand, "I might not have time to see you because I've already told Ningning that I'll be teaching three students starting next Saturday. I probably won't have extra time to think about you. You should just focus on filming your short drama; a month will pass in the blink of an eye."
Chu Jiang also pouted, looking unhappy.
The last time he filmed a short drama, he lived close to home, and he would run between the school and home whenever he had time. He envied those who visited the set. Now he finally got his wish, but the filming location was a bit far away. However, not a single person visited the set. He was so miserable.
Xi Ran noticed that Chu Jiang was also a little unhappy, so she immediately changed the subject.
She took Chu Jiangyi's hand and led him outside. "Let's go to the supermarket and buy some good food. I'll cook dinner and see what my cooking is like."
Chu Jiang's eyes lit up. "Are you really going to cook something delicious?"
"Of course!"
"Let's go then!"
"good!"
The two walked out hand in hand, intimately.
