Chapter 74

Is this girl... a princess?

Once in bed, Zhou Ye lay face down, holding her phone in both hands. Her long, jet-black hair cascaded down her shoulders and arms like a waterfall. She gently lifted one foot, her size 36 feet in white socks dangling back and forth like ice cream come to life.

Zhou Ye's hair is exceptionally smooth, making her perfectly suited for long, straight black hair; she's practically a goddess of long, straight black hair.

Just as Zhou Ye was looking at her phone, it rang, the screen changed, and Li Han called.

"Ugh..." She blinked, then quickly got up, sat cross-legged, and answered the phone.

"Li Han!" Calling him "General Manager Li" sounds too formal; you should use his name.

"Why are you calling me all of a sudden?" Zhou Ye's voice was slightly twitchy, carrying a charmingly naive tone.

"Haha, you haven't contacted me at all lately. I'm starting to suspect you've run off with my script," Li Han laughed.

"I'm busy," Zhou Ye pouted and hummed. She was holding her phone in one hand, making a call, while her other hand couldn't help but scratch her foot.

"During this period, I need to read scripts, look at houses, and also apply to the school for permission to go out and film."

"Do you have any suitable houses?" Li Han asked.

"Yes, there are some suitable ones. I'll arrange to go take a look tomorrow. I don't plan to rent before the New Year. It's almost Chinese New Year, and I want to wait until after the New Year to rent," Zhou Ye said.

"Okay." Li Han nodded.

I'll come see you tomorrow.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ye raised an eyebrow.

"I'll take you to meet Tian Xiwei, the female lead of 'Qingqing's Daily Life'," Li Han said.

"Tian Xiwei..." Zhou Ye narrowed her eyes, her expression now somewhat blank, looking completely devoid of any of her usual naivety.

She's the female lead in "So Cute Us" and also the first artist from Li Han's studio, right?

"Okay, no problem." Zhou Ye nodded with a smile.

"Okay, it's settled then. I'll pick you up tomorrow," Li Han said with a smile.

After hanging up the phone, Li Han called Tian Xiwei.

"Beep beep...feed?" Tian Xiwei's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Xiaotian, you're free tomorrow, right? I'll take you out for dinner," Li Han said directly.

"Okay." Tian Xiwei yawned and put down the script in her hand. She was reading the script at home at the moment, and she still had to go to film GG later.

"...and while I'm at it, I'll also meet up with Zhou Ye, the second female lead," Li Han said.

"Zhou Ye." Tian Xiwei raised an eyebrow, then chuckled softly.

"Okay..." Even if she doesn't see me now, she will definitely see me in the future.

Seeing that Tian Xiwei didn't say anything, Li Han smiled and then started chatting with her.

The next day, Li Han took a car to the Beijing Film Academy. When he arrived at the entrance, he saw a large crowd of people, both men and women.

"Why are there so many people?" Li Han asked his assistant curiously.

"It's probably because there are art exams coming up recently, and some people are visiting the Beijing Film Academy," the assistant who was driving said.

"Oh." Li Han nodded, then put on his mask and got out of the car.

Looking at so many young students, Li Han sighed inwardly, "Youth is truly wonderful."

No, I'm a student now. I'm a student at the Shanghai Theatre Academy.

Upon entering the Beijing Film Academy, Li Han took out his phone and called Zhou Ye, then waited for her downstairs at her dormitory.

A short while later, Zhou Ye's lively, puppy-like figure appeared in front of Li Han.

"President Li!" Zhou Ye jogged over quickly, looking at Li Han with a smile and teasingly said.

"Heh, what Mr. Li?" Li Han glanced at Zhou Ye in front of him. She was clearly dressed up carefully, wearing a white down jacket, with white earmuffs and a mask on her delicate face, revealing bright eyes. Her black hair was draped over the down jacket, and her smile was a bit strangely cute.

"Let's go, Xiaotian has arrived." Li Han gestured.

"Let's go." Zhou Ye looked at Li Han and reached out to hug him without any hesitation.

Seeing this, Li Han blinked but didn't say anything, and the two walked towards the door.

Looking at so many art students, Li Han couldn't help but sigh.

"Of so many people, how many can actually get into the Beijing Film Academy, and how many can become stars? Many of the top three art schools don't even produce a big star in a single class."

"Yes..." Zhou Ye nodded and sighed in agreement.

The two walked and talked.

A girl walked towards us. She had her hair down, a fair oval face, and blinked her eyes. She wore black glasses and was looking down at her phone.

A gust of cold wind blew by, scattering the girl's hair. She looked up, frowned slightly, tidied her hair, and then brushed past Li Han and Zhou Ye.

"When this movie comes out..." Li Han suddenly paused as he spoke, then turned his head to look over.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Ye, who was holding his arm, also turned her head to look curiously.

"No... I must have seen wrong." Li Han seemed to have really seen wrong. It was just for a second; he only glanced at her and didn't see anything. The girl walked quite quickly, but why did he feel like this girl was...

Zhang Jingyi?

...Zhang Jingyi looked down at her phone, replying to messages with both hands. Feeling the cold wind, she couldn't help but shrink her neck as she walked forward, still looking at her phone.

Suddenly a cold wind blew by, scattering her hair. She looked up and reached out to tidy it up, glancing at a man and a woman passing by. Then she lowered her head and continued walking forward while looking at her phone.

"It's so cold in Beijing," she muttered to herself, sniffing.

She is from Shaoyang, Hunan. This month, she flew alone from Changsha to Beijing to take the art exam. After finishing her studies here, she also plans to visit the Central Academy of Drama and the Shanghai Theatre Academy.

She didn't know which art school she would ultimately attend.

But one thing she was certain of was that she would definitely attend an art school, and she was very confident that she would pass the entrance exam.

"...Let's go." Li Han said. He seemed to have really misread it, but he did remember that Zhang Jingyi was a student at the Beijing Film Academy in 17.

"Zhang Jingyi..." Li Han blinked, pondering for a moment.

After coming out, Li Han and Zhou Ye set off in a car.

Inside a private room at a restaurant, Tian Xiwei sat quietly, holding her phone in her left hand and pouring herself a glass of water from the teapot in her right. Her fair and lovely face was expressionless.

Apart from the sound of running water, there was no other sound in the room.

Outside the restaurant, the car stopped, and Li Han and Zhou Ye got out.

"Let's go, Yezi, Xiwei is waiting."
