Chapter 64 Rehearsal
With the school anniversary and New Year's Eve party approaching, the Arts Department is very busy this week. Chen Zan has to coordinate the performance projects of various colleges and follow up on the stage construction.
At the same time, she also submitted the host registration form. What Jin Hanzhou and Xu Anan said were both right. She had always been doing behind-the-scenes work before and had no experience on stage. Maybe this time she could really try something she was not good at.
This week she either went to the Student Union or supervised the construction of the auditorium after class in the evening. One department was too busy to handle it all, so Xu Anan and other departments also came to help.
As a result, she had no time to go to Jing Mansion this week. Zhou Jingyu didn't say anything and just let her mind her own business. Occasionally, he would take the time to ask her how her oral practice was going.
Chen Zhan was very grateful to him, and even her teacher said that her spoken English sounded much better.
The host of the evening party was also decided. Chen Zan was selected. There were four classmates in total, including her, Chen Zan and Jin Hanzhou from the School of Foreign Languages, and senior Jiang Xinyi and Xue Ming from the Broadcasting and Hosting major.
When the list was announced, Xu Anan said she would go back and bring her dusty DSLR camera to school to take pictures of herself.
After Zhou Jingyu heard about this, he said congratulations to her with a lazy voice and a smile on the other end of the phone.
Chen Zan recalled that she had mentioned signing up to be a host two days ago, and Zhou Jingyu had only said to her, "If you want to, then do it."
She now asked: "Mr. Zhou, will you attend the school anniversary?"
Zhou Jingyu hummed calmly, "I was originally planning to have Zhang Qing attend in my place, but since you want to go on stage, I have no choice but to go."
Chen Zan knew that he was trying to make her happy and said that on purpose.
At this time, senior Jiang Xinyi called her at the door to go to the host rehearsal. Chen Zan then hurriedly told Zhou Jingyu on the other end of the phone that she was busy and was about to hang up.
But Zhou Jingyu called her name at this moment: "Chen Zan."
She hummed in confusion.
Zhou Jingyuju suddenly asked, "Did you miss me?"
Chen Zhan was stunned for a moment, and before he could say anything, he heard him say tenderly, "I miss you so much."
It was almost a week since they last saw each other, and Zhou Jingyu really missed her.
Chen Zhan hung up the phone and walked out of the classroom. Jiang Xinyi looked at her twice, finally landing on the tip of her red ear. She smiled and joked, "Junior, are you in a relationship? Were you talking to your boyfriend on the phone just now?"
Logically speaking, Chen Zan should have explained that she was not the one at the first time, but now she didn't, and even nodded in admission as if possessed by a ghost.
Jiang Xinyi looked at her in shock and asked, "You really have a boyfriend? Who is he? Is he a boy from our school?"
She was actually just joking just now, mainly because Chen Zan's state when he was on the phone was very similar to when she was in love.
However, as one of the three most beautiful girls in the school, Chen Zan's love life has always been the focus of everyone's attention. In the past two years, countless people have confessed their love to her, but I have never heard of her being close to any boy in the school.
Chen Zhan curled his lips and said, "He's not from our school."
Jiang Xinyi showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, "No wonder I haven't heard of it before."
Chen Zhan hesitated for two seconds and said, "I don't want too many people to know about this, so Senior Jiang, can you keep it a secret for me?"
Jiang Xinyi said cheerfully, "No problem, I just don't know how many boys in school are about to suffer heartbreak."
Originally, Chen Zan was going to Jing Mansion on the weekend, but her grandmother needed a follow-up examination, so she had to accompany her. It happened that in the afternoon, a cross-provincial cooperation project of Rongtou Group ran into problems, and Zhou Jingyu had to go on a business trip temporarily, so she missed the opportunity by accident.
Zhou Jingyu was on a tight schedule, and when Chen Zan received the news that he was on a business trip, he was already on his way to the airport.
Chen Zhan suppressed the disappointment in his heart and said softly, "Mr. Zhou, I hope your business trip goes well."
Zhou Jingyu sighed and said leisurely, "Sometimes I really want to make you into a villain and put it on my body."
Chen Zan was feeling a little sad at first, but after hearing what he said, he couldn't help laughing out loud.
Zhou Jingyu seemed to have thought of something, "Would you like to go there for an internship during the winter break?"
Chen Zhan: "I have thought about it, but I'm only a sophomore now. I sent out some resumes during the summer vacation, but all the companies rejected them. I can only do some part-time jobs."
Zhou Jingyu asked, "Are you interested in an internship at Rong Investment Group?"
Chen Zhan was shocked, "Can I?"
Zhou Jingyu curled his lips and smiled, "If you want, you can. If you come to my company, I can see you every day."
It's really hard not being able to see each other for a week like this. I wonder if they are in a long-distance relationship.
Zhou Jingyu didn't make the final decision for her. He just said, "Think about it carefully. Once you've made up your mind, send your resume to Zhang Qing and he'll help you arrange it."
Chen Zhan chuckled and asked, "Mr. Zhou, are you trying to help me get in through the back door?"
Zhou Jingyu remained noncommittal. "Ms. Chen, I will always open a door for you."
——
I was busy over the weekend. After accompanying my grandmother for a follow-up examination, she missed the flowers in her yard, so I spent another day accompanying her back to her hometown to visit them.
Chen Jiaohua was not suitable for hard work, so she directed Chen Zan to weed, fertilize and water the plants, which made her covered in mud.
In the middle of the trip, Xu Jing returned home and probably didn't see the old man and the child, so she called to ask them where they had been hanging out. Chen Jiaohua didn't dare to answer the hot phone and threw it directly to Chen Zan.
She was at a loss for words when she answered the phone, and had no choice but to tell him about her trip back to the countryside. Sure enough, she was scolded by Ms. Xu Jing.
What he meant was that grandma had just had an operation and needed to rest. How could he let an old woman like her go back to take care of her flowers and plants, which require delicate work such as bending over and looking down, so that she could understand something.
Chen Zhan looked at his hand, which was still covered in mud from his trouser legs, then at Ms. Chen Jiaohua, who was elegantly sipping tea by the carved wooden window. He said in a quiet voice, "Mom, is it possible that Grandma is just giving orders, and I'm the one doing the hard labor?"
Xu Jing was silent for a moment, a rare moment, then cleared her throat and said, "You're young, so you should exercise more."
Chen Zhan: “…”
After two busy days over the weekend, she didn't have time to go shopping even though Ye Jing asked her to, so she spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with Ms. Chen Jiaohua.
Back at school, we start coordinating and rehearsing various activities.
Zhou Jingyu's business trip to another province this time is very long. The school anniversary is on Friday night, and after that there will be a three-day New Year's Day holiday.
At noon, she sent a message to Zhou Jingyu, asking him if he could still come to the school anniversary in the evening. Zhou Jingyu replied that she was not sure.
However, even if he can't come back today, he will notify the group vice president in advance to come and attend on his behalf.
Chen Zan would be lying if he said he wasn't disappointed, but he still replied, "It doesn't matter. Work is more important."
