Chapter 349 Return to School
"Ali, everything is packed. Xiaoyun and I will leave first. Please feel free to contact us if you need anything."
A Pan had already moved all of Ali's things into the villa with quick hands and feet.
Shen Jingjing took her daughter's hand and warmly invited them: "Stay for dinner. Thank you for taking care of Ah Li this time. Auntie will make you something delicious."
"You're welcome, Auntie. We are Ali's assistants, and it's our responsibility to take care of her. We won't bother you any more since we haven't seen each other for so long."
Chen Li did not force them to stay. After all, they had been in the group for more than two months and had finally returned. They must want to go home as soon as possible.
So she nodded and said, "I will go to the company tomorrow and ask them to let you two take a two-week paid leave. If the company has other work arrangements later, you can go there first. I will talk to you about this when I join the team next time. Thank you for your hard work during this period."
Xiaoyun and Apan smiled at each other when they heard this. They probably were the only two people in the company who could enjoy this kind of paid leave, so they made the right decision to follow A Li.
Around ten o'clock in the evening, Shen Xing returned from school. Before she even entered the house, she began to shout at the top of her lungs, "Sister! Sister!"
Chen Li was sitting on the sofa playing with the dog. When she heard the voice, she couldn't help but stand up and greeted him: "Is school over?"
"Have you finished filming?"
She was particularly happy to see her sister Shen Xing. Before she even took off her shoes, she started barging questions: "How long can you stay this time? Are you going to join the crew right away? Are you going back to school?"
Chen Li felt overwhelmed after hearing this and smiled helplessly: "There are so many problems, I won't leave for the time being!"
"Really? That's great! Our family is finally reunited in Longcheng!"
These words just happened to fall into Shen Jingjing's ears. She lowered her head and smiled. Although it was just a casual remark from her son, it made her feel a great sense of happiness in her heart.
The next day, Chen Li got up early and packed her things for returning to school.
Not long after she entered the school, she joined two groups in succession. She stayed in the school for very little time and was unique among the freshmen.
Shen Jingjing accompanied her daughter to school.
The mother and daughter each pulled a suitcase into the campus. It was Shen Jingjing's first time to visit her daughter's school, and it was also her first time to step onto a university campus. She looked around curiously.
This film academy doesn't look very new, but the children walking around the school are so good-looking.
Some of these students recognized Chen Li, and their inquiring gazes fell on her from time to time, and some whispers could be heard faintly.
"Freshman Chen Li!"
"I heard that right after filming 'The Phoenix's Destiny', he immediately joined the second group as the lead actor!"
"I'm so envious, the resources are so good!"
"She must have good resources. She's signed with Sister Kuan from Jinxiao Entertainment. She shares an agent with Ji Chuhe, so she definitely won't have to worry about resources!"
"How can I be so lucky that Sister Kuan spotted me right after I debuted? I heard Sister Kuan is very picky about her talent."
"I'm not sure about that, but Chen Li is indeed quite good. The one next to her is her mother, right? She's also very beautiful..."
Arriving at the dormitory door, Chen Li looked at it in a daze for a moment, as if she had returned to the day when she reported to school as a freshman.
Before she could push the door, it was suddenly opened from the inside. Wang Chuhan, who was about to go out, did not expect that there was someone outside the door. She was frightened immediately. When she saw that the person at the door was Chen Li, an expression of surprise instantly appeared on her face!
"Ali! You're back!"
Chen Li looked at her good friend whom she hadn't seen for a long time and nodded with a smile, and then they opened their arms and hugged each other at the same time.
"I missed you so much. We finally finished filming. Was it very hard this time?"
"It's okay, actually. Why are you alone? Where are Yuanyuan and Mina? Did they go to class?"
Wang Chuhan let go of Ah Li, looking somewhat dejected. "Both of them successfully made it to the interview group and went off to film. Now I'm the only one in our dormitory who hasn't been on the interview group."
Chen Li was very happy for Sun Yuan and Zhao Meina when she heard this, but she also understood Chu Han's feelings.
"Don't worry, there will definitely be opportunities in the future."
The competition in the film and television industry is very fierce now. Various platforms and companies are eager to launch hundreds or even thousands of dramas a year, which also provides opportunities for many new actors.
The more opportunities you have to interview for groups, the greater the possibility of being selected. You may not get any important roles at the beginning, but it is better than nothing. After all, not every newcomer is as lucky as her. Most people start out with supporting roles.
Wang Chuhan nodded, and then he realized that there was someone standing next to him.
"Ali, is this your mother?" She quickly and politely greeted, "Excuse me, Auntie, please come in."
The dormitory is very clean. Although Wang Chuhan is the only one living there, she still helps everyone clean and wipe the tables every day. Ali hasn't lived in the dormitory for a long time, but her desk, chairs and bed are still spotless.
"Are you still in a hurry to join the group this time?"
Everyone who sees her asks this question, and Chen Li happily shakes her head and answers, "I don't have any plans for now. I want to make up for the missed professional courses first."
"That's great. I'll feel better if you're with me. Otherwise, I'll be alone in the dormitory."
Shen Jingjing helped her daughter tidy up the bed and daily necessities and did not stay long. After giving a few simple instructions, she left the dormitory.
As soon as she left, Wang Chuhan couldn't wait to pull Chen Li to sit down: "Your mother is so beautiful."
Shen Li pursed her lips and nodded. It was a pity that she didn't look that much like her mother.
"Ah Li, do you know? Kate Tsui is really popular in school right now. She returned to school after filming 'The Destiny of Phoenix' wrapped. This semester, she auditioned for three productions in a row and got accepted into all three. She's the most popular actress in our class."
When mentioning Kate Tsui, Shen Li instinctively recalled the incident on the set. The gap between the two may not have been eliminated, but Kate Tsui said "thank you" to her at that time.
"She's actually quite good at acting," Chen Li said sincerely.
After all, they have worked together before. Although Xu Zishan is a resource-rich person, she does have real talent.
Although Wang Chuhan didn't want to admit it, she had to nod. "Indeed, I went to these crews and saw her audition clips. I feel that she has improved a lot since her audition for 'Destiny to Be a Phoenix'. It turns out that filming experience is the only way to improve faster."
Speaking of this, Wang Chuhan became a little anxious again.
She has been in school for a year and has never joined a group. Although she is not an exception, she is the only one in the dormitory who has no experience in joining a group, which does make her feel a little discouraged.
Shen Li noticed that she was a little depressed, and quickly took her hand: "Do you have classes today? I have to go to the company, can you accompany me?"
Wang Chuhan's expression instantly brightened up: "Okay!"
You will definitely be able to meet celebrities if you go to an entertainment company!
