"How is it? What just happened? When the old witch came back, she looked visibly pale."
Yan Keyi and Ni Jia made eye contact for only a few seconds, and Ni Jia had already started gossiping.
Upon hearing this, the other people around also gathered around.
"Old witch?"
Yan Keyi didn't want to say too much about what had just happened, since it could actually damage the school's reputation if she did. However, she did have some questions about the old witch that Ni Jia had mentioned.
"It's Teacher Lin Suwen. Yan Keyi, you're late, so you don't know, but actually quite a few people in our class don't like her. She's really good at judging people based on their status. Those who are poor or have poor grades will always be the target of her nitpicking. We call her the old witch in private."
The person who said this was Ni Jia's deskmate.
Yan Keyi was new to the class and wasn't very familiar with the faces and names of her classmates, so she might not be able to match them up. But if Yan Keyi remembered correctly, this classmate was quite strong in one subject but weak in another. She consistently ranked first in the grade in physics and chemistry, but her humanities subjects were relatively weaker; otherwise, she would have been in Class 1.
Because she wasn't good at humanities subjects, and Lin Suwen's English was a humanities subject, she often got the cold shoulder from Lin Suwen.
Yan Keyi then realized that Lin Suwen's unpopularity wasn't limited to her. Her initial guilt about her disrespect towards the teacher truly vanished.
Some teachers may not be up to the standard in terms of professional ethics.
After chatting with these classmates for a while, Yan Keyi felt completely relaxed.
She didn't want to think about anything else anymore. Right now, all she wanted was to get good grades that would satisfy Jiang Ning. She also hoped that through hard work, she could get into her dream university and fulfill her own aspirations.
And so, Jiang Ning went to work during the week, and Yan Keyi went to school during the week. Under He Yin's guidance, Yan Keyi also successfully passed the joint entrance examination.
Near the end of the first semester, news broke that "The Long Spear" was scheduled for release during the Spring Festival.
Logically, as the actress playing the second female lead, Yan Keyi should have gone to the promotional events with the crew. However, due to the tight schedule of her senior year of high school and the fact that she hadn't had much rest, coupled with her need to prepare for the college entrance exams, Jiang Ning, after discussing with Hu Yiming, decided to only let Yan Keyi attend a few of the more important preview screenings.
Although it's normal for celebrities to work long hours, Jiang Ning didn't want Yan Keyi to work so hard.
Yan Keyi is very serious and hardworking in everything she does. Through her own efforts, she not only achieved the top score in the city's joint examination, but her academic performance also gradually improved from the bottom to the top 100 in her grade.
If it were a top 100 student in another school, it might not mean much, but at No. 1 High School, there are many good students, and a difference of just one point can mean falling behind several places. Yan Keyi's achievement in this period of time is truly remarkable.
Jiang Ning promised Yan Keyi that she could make one request, and as long as it was within her power, Jiang Ning would fulfill it for her.
However, since Yan Keyi hasn't decided yet, this request will be put on hold for now.
Another piece of good news is that after more than three months of experience, Lina has successfully taken over the role of design director. Jiang Ning has also officially submitted her resignation. She just needs to complete the handover of all her responsibilities in the last month so she can focus on Yan Keyi's affairs.
Yan Keyi accompanied Jiang Ning on the day she went to process her resignation.
"Boss, I wish you all the best in the future!"
After nearly half a year of training, Lina has grown at a rapid pace. Even the other people in the office, seeing Lina's transformation, can't help but praise her as "Little Jiang Ning."
Lina can act like a reliable department director in other matters, but when it comes to Jiang Ning, she still trusts and relies on him as before.
"When your parents named you Jinyan, they probably hoped that you would be careful with your words and actions. However, in design, you don't need to be so restrained. Sometimes, you can be bolder and try to incorporate your own ideas into your work. I believe you will gain different rewards."
Lina's real name is Lin Jinyan. Jiang Ning had never called her by her real name during work, but now that she was leaving, this was the first time she had called her by it, which was also a way of expressing her hopes and wishes for her.
Lin Jinyan listened attentively to Jiang Ning's instructions.
Jiang Ning was a mentor to her, someone who recognized her talent and gave her opportunities. He was more than just her boss; he was like a teacher or a friend. Without his patient guidance, she wouldn't have achieved what she has today.
As they parted, Jiang Ning gave each person some advice tailored to their individual personalities.
After working together for so long, it's hard not to say a few words.
"Thank you all for your support of my work over the years. If we get together again in the future, it will probably be as friends. If you need any help from me, please feel free to come to me."
Jiang Ning is willing to lend a hand if he can.
"Coco, you have to keep it up! Our whole office is full of chocolate-headed people. We reluctantly gave you our boss because we want to see you succeed! We'll definitely be there to support you when Long Gun is released!"
After Jiang Ning finished catching up with the others, Lin Jinyan spoke to Yan Keyi.
"Yes, yes, if other departments see this and bring it up, we'll just say that our CEO Lin is leading the way in idol worship!"
Min may have been joking with Lin Jinyan, but in reality, she was also expressing her support for Yan Keyi.
"Thank you everyone, I will. But I have tickets to the premiere of 'The Long Spear' that I'd like to give away."
With Hu Yiming and Qin Yiran's box office appeal, the tickets were sold out as soon as screenings began. If it weren't for her busy work schedule, Lin Jinyan would definitely have tried to buy tickets.
But because she was too busy, she couldn't get a ticket. Lin Jinyan was initially a little disappointed.
But now there are tickets to the officially organized premiere! Lin Jinyan felt like she'd hit the jackpot!
Seeing that Lin Jinyan was already in a high position but was still so reckless, Jiang Ning subconsciously wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, she realized that she was no longer Lin Jinyan's superior, so it would be better to give her some face.
In addition, Lin Jinyan's actions were also because she supported Yan Keyi.
"Coco! You are my second parents!"
Lin Jinyan got so excited that he hugged Yan Keyi tightly. If he wasn't afraid of scaring her, he would have picked her up and spun her around.
Jiang Ning originally didn't want to say anything, but seeing this, she directly grabbed Lin Jinyan's neck and lifted him back.
When the cool touch touched her neck, Lin Jinyan stiffly turned her head to look at Jiang Ning, her eyes filled with tension.
