After the weekend break, Yuan Yuan went directly to MG to report for duty. Zhen Tian and Ye Qingyan also went back to class.
"Hey, have you heard?" Yang Tao pulled Zhen Tian aside and said mysteriously, "I heard that a girl from the sculpture department committed suicide."
"Huh?" Zhen Tian stared wide-eyed at Yang Tao: "How did you know?"
"It's just a rumor. I didn't believe it at first, but then I heard that the academy was blocking the news, so I figured it was pretty much true."
Why?
"Who knows?" Yang Tao shrugged. "If it were high school, I'd guess it's the academic pressure. But in college, there are so many reasons. Breakups, being scammed, being bullied... I could come up with eight hundred of those reasons."
"What a pity." Zhen Tian lowered her eyes. "A life."
"That's right. So we should live life to the fullest. Whether hot pot is bad or milk tea is unpalatable, what's the big deal? Why commit suicide?"
The two shook their heads and fell silent.
"Where have you been on your weekend break? I haven't seen you anywhere. Isn't your crush on a business trip?" Yang Tao couldn't stay silent for long before she started talking to Zhen Tian again.
"I found a very important friend from before." Zhen Tian smiled as her hands continued to work, and a figure had already appeared on her drawing board.
"before?"
"Well, there's a reason. I'll introduce you two in a few days."
Seeing that Zhen Tian was drawing, Yang Tao didn't want to disturb her, so she went to organize her interview notes.
In the blink of an eye, a week has passed.
Zhen Tian was so excited about Yuan Yuan's affairs that she forgot the time.
She's been gone for a long time. She should have come back a long time ago.
She called Ji Yuzhi several times, but the call could not be connected.
"Are you in trouble?" Zhen Tian searched online for the video of the meeting.
Generally speaking, the first or second day of the meeting is public and can be broadcast live or rebroadcast on television. However, the subsequent sessions are private talks and cannot be aired. Those are the times when serious matters are discussed.
Zhen Tian watched Ji Yuzhi on TV; his expression was natural, and he seemed to have made no mistakes throughout. So what happened?
She finished reading the follow-up report; it was still early. The sky outside was still bright.
She thought about it for a moment, then took a taxi to the studio.
...
"Still no way?" Wen Jiujiu asked.
"Hmm, I can't get through." Feng Li held his phone, the call screen showing Ji Yuzhi's name.
"I tried calling Zeyuan, but I couldn't get through. What happened? He should be back by now." Wen Jiujiu licked her lips. "Could something have happened?"
"Probably not, didn't we receive the news on the day of the meeting?" That was a phone call from Ji Yuzhi arranging work.
Zheng An rushed back from outside: "I tried calling Lao K and Xiao Cha, but I couldn't get through. What's going on?"
"I don't know."
"hello."
Zhen Tian walked in carrying milk tea: "Good afternoon, everyone."
"Little sister-in-law." Zheng An felt a little guilty when he saw her and hid his phone behind his back.
"What's wrong? Why such a big reaction?" Zhen Tian blinked. "It's hot, so I'm treating everyone to milk tea."
"Little sister-in-law." Wen Jiujiu forced a smile, then tugged at the person next to her, "Why don't you go and take it and share it?"
"Oh, oh, oh. Give it to me, sister-in-law."
The man took it and ran away.
"What are you doing? It's like I'm here to catch you cheating." Zhen Tian looked at the familiar group of people. "You're not here to talk badly about me, are you?"
"No, no, no, you're overthinking it," Zheng An chuckled sheepishly.
"Oh. Where's Zhizhi? He hasn't come back yet?" Zhen Tian looked around. "Or did he come back but didn't tell me?"
"Yu Zhi hasn't returned yet!" Feng Li took over the responsibility: "Something must have come up at the meeting that's holding them back."
"Hmm... but I can't get through on the phone." Zhen Tian sat to the side: "Could something be wrong?"
"No, the boss called us a couple of days ago to give us instructions."
"Hmph, he didn't even call me." Zhen Tian pouted. "Alright, I'm fine. You guys go about your business. I'm leaving."
"Goodbye, little sister-in-law."
"Be careful on the road," Wen Jiujiu called from behind.
"Okay."
Zhen Tian went outside, knowing that everyone was definitely hiding something from her. She sighed, guessing that Zhizhi had probably encountered a big problem over there.
"Isn't it strange that I'm not telling your sister-in-law about the current situation?" Zheng An asked.
"Why tell her? It'll just make one more person worry." Feng Li shook his head: "Everyone's busy, right?"
Several days passed by in a flurry of activity.
Suddenly, the entire campus of the art university was covered with posters and roll-up banners.
"What's this? The Voice of Tomorrow audition?" Yang Tao, arm in arm with Zhen Tian, slurped up a mouthful of ice cream: "A music competition."
"It should be," Zhen Tian nodded.
"As expected of our school. Even a casual competition is this large-scale."
Zhen Tian thought for a moment and said, "I guess it's because our school produces quite a few celebrities every year."
"Yeah, didn't a senior from the performing arts department become famous last year? He's probably a third or fourth-tier heartthrob now."
"A music competition... Shouldn't Qingyan give it a try?" With that thought, Zhen Tian grabbed Yang Tao and headed to find Ye Qingyan.
"Qingyan, that competition..."
Zhen Tian took a closer look at the Voice of Tomorrow application form: "You're filling it out now. I was actually thinking of asking you to give it a try."
Ye Qingyan flicked her pen and wrote her name on it: "How could I not participate in such a lively event?"
"Sweetie and I will come to cheer you on. You have to make it to the finals!" Yang Tao said, swinging her little arms.
"Absolutely."
"Hey... Zhen Tian is in your dorm?" While Ye Qingyan was filling out the registration form, someone passing by said, "It seems your dean has sent people looking for you everywhere. You should go check it out."
"Looking for me?" Zhen Tian pointed to herself.
"yes."
"Okay, thank you."
After thanking the person who came, Zhen Tian said to Qingyan and Yang Tao, "I'll go see what's going on."
"I'll go with you."
"No need. I'll be back in a bit."
The college-level office building is in front of the dormitory building, and the distance is not short.
By the time Zhen Tian arrived, about 20 minutes should have passed.
"Oh dear, why are you so slow?" The dean pulled Zhen Tian into the office.
"ah?"
Ye Qingyan and Yang Tao had both submitted their registration forms when Zhen Tian finally came out of the office building. The two were waiting for her downstairs and rushed up to surround her when they saw her looking dazed.
"What's going on?"
"What happened?"
"Your comic is a hit again?"
"So someone has taken a liking to your paintings?"
"Did someone report you?"
The two of them came up with eight hundred reasons, talking all at once.
But Zhen Tian shook her head, looking completely bewildered: "I don't know why you're looking for me."
"???"
