Chapter 30: Jing Tian (Please Favorite, Please Recommend)

"Oh~~~ I remember now!" Qi Hui looked suddenly enlightened.

Having worked on construction sites for so long, he had long since become a master of playing dumb.

Besides, why would he refuse to chat with such a pretty girl?

"Oh, Junior Sister Jing Tian, long time no see." Qi Hui hurriedly reached out his hand.

Before he transmigrated, there was a saying: Nan Yihuan, Bei Jing Tian, and Zhuang Xinyan who can't be made famous.

Especially Jing Tian, who received so many top-tier resources that her hands grew soft; the people cast to act alongside her ranged from small-time actors to international superstars—the resources were undeniably good.

And that was just domestically; she had also acted in plenty of major foreign blockbusters.

Things like *Pacific Rim: Uprising*, *Kong: Skull Island*, and even Captain Marvel, the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., and Loki had all come to play supporting roles for her.

Unfortunately, the response was lukewarm, failing to stir up any waves.

Yet, when this girl washed her face and recorded a video to post online, it sparked numerous discussions.

And the popularity that those Hollywood blockbusters failed to generate was achieved by the low-budget web drama *Rattan*.

One has to say, being famous or not is sometimes a metaphysical mystery.

"Hee hee hee... Long time no see, Senior Brother." Looking at Qi Hui’s handsome face, which rivaled Li Ming’s, Jing Tian smiled very happily, her large eyes curving into a pair of crescent moons, looking very sweet and cute.

She reached out her fair, small hand and gave Qi Hui’s a gentle shake.

She had noticed Qi Hui while he was wandering around aimlessly.

She had wanted to come over and chat, but she hadn't expected to be intercepted by Dean Wang.

Don't let the fact that the little old man is funny on screen fool you; once he straightens his face, he can scare many students into not daring to speak.

If Qi Hui hadn't already graduated, he really wouldn't have dared to joke with him.

"Senior Brother, I’ve seen the video of you catching the fugitive, it was so amazing!" Jing Tian said with a touch of admiration:

"The way you fixed the bayonet looked so cool!"

"Haha... that was a dangerous maneuver, please don't imitate it," Qi Hui said somewhat awkwardly.

Jing Tian’s excited expression froze slightly: "Uh... Senior Brother, you overestimate me. With guns and bayonets, where would I even get such things to imitate?"

Qi Hui glanced at her and muttered to himself, I wouldn't be so sure...

"Senior Brother, have you practiced bayonet fighting or similar combat arts?" Jing Tian asked curiously, chattering away: "You were so crisp and decisive when you defeated that thug."

She had watched that video; Qi Hui used a thrust, and while the opponent dodged, he followed up with a rifle butt strike.

After stunning the opponent, he delivered another rifle butt to the back of the knee, directly taking the person down.

There weren't many moves, but it looked smooth and flowing, very pleasing to the eye.

If they had fought for three hundred rounds like in a martial arts movie, that wouldn't have been good to watch at all.

"I know a little, just a little..." Qi Hui laughed it off. He didn't actually know it, but he had triggered a "Martial Arts Instructor" skill, so he only knew a few flashy moves.

"You’re very impressive too," Qi Hui hurriedly said: "Singing, dancing, and acting—you’re much more capable than the average person."

He couldn't let this girl keep talking, or it would be another barrage of questions.

Hearing this, Jing Tian scratched her head in distress: "I’m just doing small things. I worked so hard on so much, but there hasn't been any big response."

"Haha, you'll make it in the future. You haven't even graduated yet, right?" Qi Hui comforted her.

Although he already knew the outcome, who doesn't know how to engage in some commercial flattery?

"Mm-hmm!" Jing Tian nodded repeatedly, looking full of confidence.

College students are all like this—clear-eyed and foolish—always thinking that once they graduate, they will soar into the sky and achieve a great career.

Unfortunately, after graduating from college, they will enter a university called "Society."

That university is much harder to graduate from than their original one.

"Senior Brother, let's exchange contact information, shall we?" Jing Tian remained enthusiastic and full of energy.

Facing her anticipation, Qi Hui had no choice but to give out his phone number.

And at Jing Tian’s repeated requests, he also gave out his QQ number.

After getting the contact info, Jing Tian hopped and skipped back to a group of girls, as if she had won a battle.

"Wow, so amazing, you even dared to hit on a senior who’s already graduated."

"What did he say? What did he just say?"

"Sister, can you share the senior’s contact info with me?"

Jing Tian, who had been feeling proud, suddenly became vigilant: "If you want it, go get it yourself. Senior Brother is a very nice person; just act cute and beg a little, and it’ll be fine."

"Haha, never mind then." The girl shrank her neck.

To the side, Shuangzi stood with her arms crossed, looking at her chattering classmates with utter disdain.

A graduate without even a single work to his name—what was there to hit on?

He wasn't even as good as her... Shuangzi thought to herself. Although her *Let's Watch the Meteor Shower Together* was called a "trash drama" by those unscrupulous media outlets, it didn't affect its viewership or popularity in the slightest.

People who like to watch it will always like to watch it, and it even got sponsorship from Metersbonwe.

She really didn't know what there was to hit on about this so-called senior who didn't even have a single work.

"Yo, Qi Hui, I can't tell, can I?" A teasing voice came:

"I didn't expect you to be hitting on a junior the moment you got back."

Qi Hui’s face darkened; clearly, he was the one being hit on.

Turning his head, he saw two women.

Yang Mi and Yuan Shanshan, his classmates.

"Hello," Qi Hui greeted them.

Seeing Yang Mi, Qi Hui wasn't surprised, but the appearance of Yuan Shanshan left him a bit puzzled.

Before he transmigrated, the first time he knew of Yuan Shanshan was in Da Peng’s *Jian Bing Man*.

Could it be that *Jian Bing Man* was already out?

"Aren't you being a bit too distant?" Yang Mi complained: "We were classmates for four years, isn't it bad to be so estranged?"

"Heh... I remember I’ve only seen you eight or nine times," Qi Hui said directly, ignoring her attempt to get closer.

Hearing this, Yuan Shanshan also chimed in: "Don't talk about you, I haven't even seen..."

She was in the same dormitory as Yang Mi, after all.

But before she could finish, she was quietly elbowed by Yang Mi.

"Ahem, Mimi and we have a great relationship, you just don't know it," Yuan Shanshan coughed lightly and changed her words.

She had been invited by Yang Mi; there was no helping it, she had to side with her.

After graduation, her agent had taken her everywhere looking for roles, running to over thirty film crews in half a month.

But she had come up empty-handed; not a single crew was willing to take her.

They were all in the same class; Yang Mi was already a popular young starlet known across the country, while she couldn't even get a single role.

The gap between people is sometimes even larger than the gap between humans and pigs.

"Shall we walk and talk?" Yang Mi blinked, extending an invitation.

Qi Hui shrugged, noncommittal.

The three walked side by side toward the playground. The ceremony was about to start, and it was time to go listen to the leaders speak.

"Qi Hui, do you have any work coming up?" Yang Mi asked with a smile:

"I’m going to Huairou in a few days to film an urban romance drama; I can help recommend you for a role."

"An urban romance drama?" Qi Hui was slightly stunned.

Didn't Yang Mi only film historical costume dramas? Had she even filmed that kind of thing?

"Who are the director and the leads?" Qi Hui asked.

"The director is Chen Sicheng, the leads include Li Chen, and there’s someone whose name I haven't heard before, seems to be called Zhang Yi..." Yang Mi thought for a moment and said.

"Oh..." Qi Hui suddenly realized. He remembered; that was the first drama Chen Sicheng directed, and it was how he became involved with Tong Liya.

Of course, a few years later, he would become a bit ungrateful.

But... was Yang Mi in that drama?

Qi Hui looked up, preparing to refuse Yang Mi.

But he saw Yang Mi wave her hand and point to the podium in the distance with some pride: "We'll talk about things later, I have to go up and say a few words."

As she spoke, she pulled out a manuscript.

Qi Hui: "..."

That was a pretty good show of arrogance!

Yuan Shanshan said sourly: "Don't look, Old Wang invited her."

She feels bad when her best friend isn't doing well, but she also feels bad when she’s doing too well.
