"This is my business card. You can contact me if you need anything." Geng Le handed his business card to Leng Yu as he left.
Leng Yu didn't reach out to take it, but looked at Leng Yue. Leng Yue nodded, and only then did she reach out and take the business card.
Geng Le smiled slightly, nodded to Leng Yu, and left.
"Sister, look." Leng Yu tossed the business card to Leng Yue without even looking at it.
Leng Yue looked at it seriously. "Xinghui Entertainment, agent Geng Le. So he's an agent."
Shao Yang looked on with envy, "Wow, wouldn't that mean I could become a star!"
"You think being a celebrity is as simple as you think? Let alone whether you can debut smoothly, even if you do debut, it doesn't guarantee you'll become famous. Kid, you should focus on your studies!" Leng Yue poured cold water on his enthusiasm without hesitation. She had been on set for so long and had seen countless actors, many of whom never made it big!
Shao Yang chuckled after hearing Leng Yue's words, "You're just like my mom, always lecturing others with so many grand principles."
Leng Yu nodded in agreement with Shao Yang, "You're right. Sometimes I feel like my sister is my second mother. She's so talkative!"
"You little brat, you're asking for it!" Leng Yue bared her teeth at them, pretending to be angry.
The three didn't separate until noon. After saying goodbye to each other, they went their separate ways.
Because she had something on her mind, Leng Yu walked much slower than usual. She kept kicking pebbles and stepping on ants along the way, stopping and starting as she went, seemingly unbothered by the heat.
Leng Yue didn't urge him. She understood that a teenager who had suddenly encountered the first major opportunity in his life was bound to be restless.
Wasn't she herself blinded by the sudden opportunity and died a violent death?
Leng Yu is several years younger than her. It would be abnormal for her not to be excited about something like this. Besides, how many kids don't dream of becoming stars?
"Sister, I don't know what to do. One minute I feel like this is an opportunity, and the next I'm a little scared. Besides, Mom and Dad will definitely object." After hesitating for a long time, Leng Yu finally told Leng Yue what she was thinking.
Leng Yue pulled Leng Yu to sit down on a bench under the shade of a tree. After thinking it over carefully, she spoke: "Do you want an ordinary life, or do you want to live amidst a barrage of cameras and microphones? Can you tolerate a life without any privacy? If you can accept these things, then you only have one question left: what do you want?"
“This isn’t about a momentary impulse, but rather the primal drive that keeps you going, the motivation that allows you to grit your teeth and persevere no matter what difficulties you encounter. Perhaps this is what you truly want.” While comforting Leng Yu, Leng Yue also seriously considered her own future.
After speaking, Leng Yue and Leng Yu both fell silent.
"Sister, I understand. I will study hard and consider other things only after I have done so, without affecting my studies." Leng Yu understood even faster. "Let's go home, sister."
"You've figured it out already?" Leng Yuexin said she hadn't figured it out yet!
"Actually, it's nothing! Sis, think about it, there's no shortage of talent in that circle, all kinds of talent, so it's not easy to stand out." Leng Yu shrugged. "I'm not a very determined person, and it seems like I have no other skills besides studying! So why bother yourself?"
"Sis, I never thought you were such a weak person! I misjudged you!" Leng Yue envied such a person, so insightful, unlike herself, who had always been foolishly insistent.
"However, I like you no matter what, and I support you!" Leng Yue put her arm around Leng Yu's shoulder and walked home.
Leng Yu chuckled again, as if she wasn't the one who had been struggling with this all along.
When the two reached the entrance of the residential area, they ran into Geng Le again.
"Oh? Little girl, what a coincidence!" Geng Le greeted her first.
"Hello, Uncle!" Leng Yue pulled Leng Yu behind her and stood in front of her.
"Uncle? You called me that?" Geng Le looked at Leng Yue in disbelief. "What kind of eyes do you have? I'm not even thirty years old! I'm in the prime of my life, and you call me uncle? You're doing this on purpose!"
“Teacher Li,” Leng Yu suddenly spoke up.
When Leng Yue saw that it was Li Qi, she greeted him as well. Since they were neighbors and often ran into each other, they were acquaintances.
"You just got back? Come on up, it's awfully hot." Li Qi turned to look at Geng Le. "Old Geng, didn't you say you were going to get the car? Why are you still here?"
"Teacher Li, do you know each other?" Leng Yue pointed at Geng Le.
“Yeah, he’s my college classmate, my roommate, and my best buddy! What? Did you two just have a fight?” Li Qi asked uncertainly.
Leng Yue couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. What a small world. "He gave Xiao Yu a business card at the ice cream shop near the school gate."
Li Qi understood immediately and frowned as he looked at Geng Le: "Old Geng, what's going on? We agreed to let you come here, not so you could abduct students from our school!"
Geng Le shook his head, "Old Li, you don't understand. It's the same as managing students. I can't help but get excited when I see promising talents. Especially this little girl's natural abilities, they're really good. I just couldn't resist..."
“You’d better bear with it. The students at our school are still children. You’re not allowed to lay a hand on them!” Li Qi refused to listen to Geng Le’s twisted logic. “Anyway, I don’t want children to enter your circle too early. It’s not good for their development.”
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it anymore. You decide. Let's go eat first!" Geng Le quickly grabbed his car keys and made a quick getaway.
Li Qi shook his head helplessly, "Don't take it seriously, studying hard is the most important thing."
Leng Yue nodded and took Leng Yu home.
Since my aunt was still at work, the two of them simply cooked some noodles and ate a bland and tasteless meal.
"Sis, can we really do summer jobs? I'm a little worried." This was the first time Leng Yu had considered working. All along, she had only known how to study hard and had never thought about anything else, let alone working.
"Don't worry, I'll find something easier to do, like KFC!" Leng Yue wasn't being a Western worshipper; she simply felt that such chain stores would be more reputable.
Leng Yu nodded in agreement. "If all else fails, we can go work at a small restaurant washing dishes."
Leng Yue glanced at Leng Yu's slender fingers. Those delicate little hands, what kind of dishes could they wash?
"You're quite ambitious, you even know how to wash dishes? I bet they wouldn't want us!" Leng Yue said with a self-deprecating laugh.
"Why? Such a simple job, and nobody wants us?" Leng Yu was dumbfounded. She had even thought that if she ever went hungry, she would go and wash dishes for someone.
Leng Yue rolled her eyes and couldn't help but complain, "Look at your hands. You can tell at a glance that you've never done any work. You're probably clumsy and slow. If you break a plate or bowl, and they ask you to pay for it, it'll seem like they're bullying you. If they don't ask you to pay, they'll feel like they've lost out! Tell me, do you think they'd want us?"
Leng Yu: "So much trouble? This is so annoying!"
Leng Yue: "Yeah, money's hard to earn!"
Leng Yu: "How about... I try becoming a star?"
Leng Yue: "Do as you please! Kids are so fickle!"
