Chapter 846 Le Yan, Long Time No See
Yao Jia personally went to the airport to pick up Yu Changze and the chief screenwriter he brought.
Because both of them had tight schedules, they arranged to meet in the conference room of the opera house.
The two sides met, exchanged greetings, took their seats, and got straight to the point.
Yao Jia and Le Yan got a general understanding of the script and both thought it was good. After discussing it, they decided to take on the film right away.
Yu Changze's asking price was higher than the market rate, and Yao Jia naturally had no objection.
The two parties agreed on a time to sign the contract, and the cooperation was considered complete.
Yu Changze received a phone call from his wife, Yu Yashi.
The man, who had been so serious just moments before, softened instantly the moment he answered the phone. He held the phone to his ear, gestured to the others, and then turned and walked out of the meeting room.
Just as netizens have said, he truly loves his wife to the point of obsession.
Yao Jia stood up and said to Le Yan, "I'll call President Chi and tell her the good news."
"Okay." Le Yan nodded gently.
After Yao Jia left, only Le Yan and Shi Yuwei remained in the conference room.
Shi Yuwei sat opposite Le Yan.
The two faced each other, and the atmosphere was inexplicably awkward.
Le Yan and Shi Yuwei were deskmates for a semester, but their relationship was only so-so. After Le Yan transferred schools, they never contacted each other again.
Leyan attended the Experimental Middle School in Quanhai Town for her first year of junior high school. Although she only studied there for one semester before transferring to a local school in Beicheng to film a movie, she still had a deep impression of Shi Yuwei.
Because Shi Yuwei was recognized by all the teachers and students as a top student, her father was the vice principal and her mother was a senior Chinese language teacher, both of whom worked at the school. In addition, Shi Yuwei was an only child, which was extremely rare in Mincheng at that time and even now. Moreover, Shi Yuwei was very ambitious, intelligent and sensible from a young age, and had excellent grades. She was the kind of good child that relatives and friends talked about, and almost no one in the school disliked her.
At that time, Shi Yuwei was the class monitor and Le Yan was her deskmate.
Shi Yuwei was friendly and kind to everyone in the class, including Le Yan, who became the focus of attention on the first day of school because of her outstanding appearance.
In Le Yan's memory, Shi Yuwei seemed to have no flaws. She was as perfect as a template. In the eyes of her classmates and teachers, she was the epitome of excellence.
Perhaps it was because Shi Yuwei was too perfect that Le Yan recognized her at first glance after more than ten years of no contact.
Shi Yuwei hasn't changed much. If you have to point out a change, it's that she's not wearing glasses anymore, and the baby fat on her face has disappeared. Now, Shi Yuwei exudes an intellectual charm.
"Le Yan, it's been a long time."
A friendly female voice sounded beside me.
Le Yan snapped out of her thoughts and met Shi Yuwei's smiling gaze.
She then noticed that Shi Yuwei had already sat down next to her and was looking at her with a friendly expression.
"I'm Shi Yuwei. We were deskmates in the first year of junior high. You don't remember me, do you?"
Shi Yuwei winked at Le Yan as she spoke.
They were just as kind and friendly as I remembered.
Le Yan smiled slightly at her, "I do remember, it was just a bit of a surprise."
"What's the surprise?" Shi Yuwei looked at Le Yan, smiled, and asked again, "Is it the surprise that I became a screenwriter?"
Le Yan pursed her lips and said, "I remember you used to tell your classmates that you wanted to be a scientist when you grew up. I thought you would pursue that goal."
“You still remember!” Shi Yuwei laughed. “But, you can’t always take what you say during your student days seriously. The things I said back then were actually instilled in me by my parents. I was young then and didn’t really understand. Later, when I got a little older, I found that I was more interested in writing. So, I chose literature as my major in college despite my family’s objections, and then I became a screenwriter by accident.”
Looking at Shi Yuwei, Le Yan said from the bottom of her heart, "You are so outstanding and smart, you can stand out no matter what you do."
"Wow, my old classmate, it's been over ten years! You've not only become more beautiful, but your words have also become sweeter!" Shi Yuwei looked at Le Yan and couldn't help but exclaim, "It's been over ten years, and we've all changed a lot. I remember you used to be very introverted. Even though you were so beautiful, you would always sit quietly in your seat with your head down. I remember your drawer was always stuffed with love letters back then!"
Le Yan frowned slightly and said, "I don't remember any of that."
In fact, Leyan was not too willing to recall the time she spent studying in town.
Because at that time, apart from Shi Yuwei, almost all the girls in the class ostracized her.
Thirteen-year-old Leyan couldn't understand why they ostracized her. As she grew older, she learned that it was called female competition.
Because she was so beautiful, she attracted the attention of almost all the boys, which made the other girls jealous, so they banded together to ostracize her.
School is a community where most people are not yet mature. If one or two people take the lead, the community will quickly form an unspoken understanding. This silent and invisible exclusion caused psychological bullying to Le Yan.
During that time, Le Yan began to feel inferior because of her appearance, and she even started to deliberately lower her head.
The model-like face that everyone in the entertainment industry desires today was not a good thing for Le Yan during that time.
Especially after that incident, Le Yan even hated her own appearance for a time...
"Le Yan?"
Le Yan was gently shaken in the arm, which brought her back to her senses.
She looked at Yao Jia, who was shaking her arm, and blinked in confusion: "Sister Yao Jia, I'm sorry, I didn't hear what you just said."
Yao Jia looked her over and saw that she didn't seem to be in good spirits, so she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Yao Jia was one of the few people who knew about Le Yan's miscarriage.
Fearing that Shi Yuwei might notice something, Yao Jia sighed helplessly and said, feigning helplessness, "This flu is too virulent; you haven't fully recovered even after a week."
Le Yan immediately realized what was going on and then said in response, "I'm almost better, but that cold medicine always makes me a little sluggish."
"You have a cold?" Shi Yuwei looked at Le Yan and exclaimed in admiration again, "You can still act so well while you're sick, Le Yan, you're really amazing now!"
Le Yan wasn't used to Shi Yuwei's enthusiasm.
She was a slow-to-warm-up person at heart, and she and Shi Yuwei had only been classmates before, so their relationship wasn't particularly close. Plus, they hadn't seen each other for over ten years, so she really didn't know how to get along with Shi Yuwei.
Or perhaps Shi Yuwei's appearance reminded her of that unpleasant time; in any case, she didn't really want to have much contact with Shi Yuwei right now.
Seeing that Le Yan was not very interested, Yao Jia smiled at Shi Yuwei and said, "Teacher Shi, our Yan Yan is always a bit slow to react when she is sick. Why don't we call it a day? I'll add you as a friend so we can communicate directly if there are any problems later."
“Great! It’s my honor to add Yao Jia’s agent on WeChat.” Shi Yuwei picked up her phone, opened WeChat, and added Yao Jia as a friend.
Then, she looked at Le Yan and asked, "Le Yan, shall we add each other as friends?"
