“Liuli!”
Yun Liuli heard a refreshing and somewhat magnetic male voice. She turned and saw Zhou Yuchen walking quickly towards her in a fresh set of clothes.
Today, Zhou Yuchen was wearing a black cashmere turtleneck sweater, as well as a long, woolen black coat, which was tailored and of good quality. His backpack was slung over his right shoulder. Right now, he no longer gave off a gloomy feeling and looked clean and elegant… as if he was a nobleman who had come from the night.
Yun Liuli stopped in her tracks and waited for Zhou Yuchen.
Fang Yan looked over. Although Zhou Yuchen was very far away, her many years of experience as a manager told her that he was no ordinary person.
As expected, when Zhou Yuchen walked closer, Fang Yan saw his different-colored eyes. His deep eyes held a gentle expression and had an exotic charm to them.
“Why’d you come out early?” Yun Liuli asked Zhou Yuchen.
“I submitted my paper early. It wasn’t hard.” Zhou Yuchen gave Yun Liuli a small smile. “I knew you’d submit your paper early.”
“You want to chase after me?” Yun Liuli was referring to the class rankings.
Since he knew that she’d submitted her paper early and did the same, he was probably challenging her, right?
Zhou Yuchen clearly knew what Yun Liuli was talking about, but he couldn’t help but smile with his eyes at her words. “Yeah!”
Fang Yan’s eyes narrowed. In the sun… with the injuries and the smile on his face, the boy reminded her of the King of the Elves from “Lord of the Rings”. He looked extremely similar, and one could cry at how attractive he was.
Yun Liuli nodded. “Well then, I’ll be looking forward to your results! Your outfit is very nice today. It suits you…”
Zhou Yuchen nodded. “Yeah. I didn’t really know how to put outfits together in the past. Guan Nina accompanied me to pick out these clothes.”
“For the next exam, I’ll leave the exam hall earlier than you, and I’ll wait for you here with a cup of bubble tea!” Zhou Yuchen continued.
Yun Liuli nodded. “Then I’ll make a move first!”
Zhou Yuchen subconsciously reached out to stop Yun Liuli. “Where are you going? I… can we have lunch together?”
Yun Liuli pointed at Fang Yan’s car, and Zhou Yuchen followed Yun Liuli’s gaze. “I already have plans.”
Zhou Yuchen’s different-colored eyes widened as he saw a “man” with short hair and wearing a hoodie sitting in the driver’s seat. Before he could tighten his hold on Yun Liuli’s wrist, she pulled away and waved goodbye to him.
Zhou Yuchen remained where he stood and watched as Yun Liuli sat in the front passenger seat. His left hand gripped his book so hard that his knuckles turned white.
When the young lady opened the car door and got in the car, Fang Yan asked her, “Isn’t the exam supposed to end at 11:30?”
“Yeah. I submitted my paper early. The paper was easy, and there was nothing challenging about it!” Yun Liuli put her notebook in her backpack.
Fang Yan had vaguely heard about Yun Liuli’s gift from Lin Nuan and had witnessed it for herself when she previously interacted with Yun Liuli…
Once, when Lin Nuan was going through questions with a soldier in the army, the young lady skimmed through the script. After Lin Nuan had finished going through her lines, she reminded Lin Nuan in a small voice that she had made a few mistakes.
Fang Yan was standing at the side at the time. She heard Lin Nuan chuckle and explain to the young lady that there was no need to memorize the script word-for-word. It was fine so long as the general idea was there.
This made Fang Yan want to let the young lady try out acting in TV dramas. After all… having a photographic memory was something all actors dreamed of.
However, Lin Nuan said Yun Liuli’s situation was special. She wanted the young lady to experience everything and see what she liked… She wanted the young lady to choose for herself.
In all her years as a manager, this was the first time Fang Yan felt that someone was probably blessed by the gods. Yun Liuli had the brains and resources that others didn’t. The heavens would find it intolerable for her not to be famous.
Yun Liuli took the file that Fang Yan handed to her, then flipped to the last page of the contract and signed without a second thought.
Seeing how quickly the young lady signed the contract, Fang Yan couldn’t help but poke fun at her. “Yo… you don’t want to look through the contract? Aren’t you afraid I’m going to sell you off?”
Yun Liuli put the cap back on her pen. “I trust Sister Xiao Nuan and Sister Yan!”
Fang Yan smiled upon hearing this. “Don’t worry. Sister Yan will make sure that she turns you into the biggest star!”
Yun Liuli didn’t have much of an opinion about celebrities. She didn’t keep up with celebrities herself, and any people around her who did were automatically blocked.
Nevertheless, Yun Liuli still nodded her head obediently.
Fang Yan first let Yun Liuli do a vocal test. Fang Yan was practically covering her ears as she left the recording studio!
No words could be used to describe how awful Yun Liuli’s singing was as her voice echoed throughout the room.
Fang Yan originally thought that if Yun Liuli was able to sing, she could become an all-rounded entertainer.
When the performing arts teacher came out after the test, he shook his head and said to Fang Yan, “This child… she can memorize the script perfectly! And… the expressions in her eyes are pretty animated, but I don’t think she’s cut out for this line of work. If you force it… she’ll just be a walking vase.”
From Fang Yan’s expression, the teacher realized he spoke too harshly and quickly added, “But maybe the child’s just never been exposed to this line of work before. Try finding her a coach and see what happens!”
Other than her ability to memorize lines, there was nothing good about her!
Her acting skills…
Hur hur!
Yun Liuli put on her coat and walked out of the classroom. She saw Fang Yan lighting up a cigarette and asked her, “Sister Yan…”
Fang Yan had been thinking of how to break the news to Yun Liuli when Yun Liuli spoke first. “Sister Yan, I find acting very interesting!”
“Interesting?” Fang Yan asked.
“Yeah!” Yun Liuli nodded. “I think I have no idea how to do it, so… I want to do it well!”
Yun Liuli then grinned towards Fang Yan.
This was the first time Yun Liuli received a script. Although the teacher had explained it to her, she still didn’t understand!
That’s why she wanted to understand it!
Fang Yan felt that when Yun Liuli was smart, she was smarter than a monkey, but when she was foolish, she was very foolish.
She nodded and said to Yun Liuli, “Your current standard is awful. I talked to the teacher earlier. Your strength is being able to remember the lines you read!”
Yun Liuli nodded. She wasn’t the least bit embarrassed or angry.
“I’m going to find you a coach to teach you how to perform. Will you be able to find time to learn and manage your studies at the same time?” asked Fang Yan.
“I can do that!” Yun Liuli answered her simply.
With her studies, Yun Liuli could remember the main points after listening to the teacher talk about it in class. It was as if she had an instinct for studying, and she was very good at it.
Yun Liuli liked and even secretly looked forward to the idea of finding time to learn something she wasn’t good at…
“Then, before that…” Fang Yan smiled at Yun Liuli and continued, “Do you want to try appearing on a variety show to gain some popularity?”
