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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She reached out her fair, small hand and gave Qi Hui’s a gentle shake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had noticed Qi Hui while he was wandering around aimlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had wanted to come over and chat, but she hadn't expected to be intercepted by Dean Wang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Qi Hui hadn't already graduated, he really wouldn't have dared to joke with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Brother, I’ve seen the video of you catching the fugitive, it was so amazing!\" Jing Tian said with a touch of admiration:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The way you fixed the bayonet looked so cool!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha... that was a dangerous maneuver, please don't imitate it,\" Qi Hui said somewhat awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hui glanced at her and muttered to himself, I wouldn't be so sure...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had watched that video; Qi Hui used a thrust, and while the opponent dodged, he followed up with a rifle butt strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After stunning the opponent, he delivered another rifle butt to the back of the knee, directly taking the person down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There weren't many moves, but it looked smooth and flowing, very pleasing to the eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they had fought for three hundred rounds like in a martial arts movie, that wouldn't have been good to watch at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re very impressive too,\" Qi Hui hurriedly said: \"Singing, dancing, and acting—you’re much more capable than the average person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't let this girl keep talking, or it would be another barrage of questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, you'll make it in the future. You haven't even graduated yet, right?\" Qi Hui comforted her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he already knew the outcome, who doesn't know how to engage in some commercial flattery?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm-hmm!\" Jing Tian nodded repeatedly, looking full of confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, after graduating from college, they will enter a university called \"Society.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That university is much harder to graduate from than their original one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Brother, let's exchange contact information, shall we?\" Jing Tian remained enthusiastic and full of energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing her anticipation, Qi Hui had no choice but to give out his phone number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at Jing Tian’s repeated requests, he also gave out his QQ number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After getting the contact info, Jing Tian hopped and skipped back to a group of girls, as if she had won a battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow, so amazing, you even dared to hit on a senior who’s already graduated.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What did he say? What did he just say?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister, can you share the senior’s contact info with me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, never mind then.\" The girl shrank her neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the side, Shuangzi stood with her arms crossed, looking at her chattering classmates with utter disdain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A graduate without even a single work to his name—what was there to hit on?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People who like to watch it will always like to watch it, and it even got sponsorship from Metersbonwe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She really didn't know what there was to hit on about this so-called senior who didn't even have a single work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yo, Qi Hui, I can't tell, can I?\" A teasing voice came:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn't expect you to be hitting on a junior the moment you got back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hui’s face darkened; clearly, he was the one being hit on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning his head, he saw two women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Mi and Yuan Shanshan, his classmates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello,\" Qi Hui greeted them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Yang Mi, Qi Hui wasn't surprised, but the appearance of Yuan Shanshan left him a bit puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he transmigrated, the first time he knew of Yuan Shanshan was in Da Peng’s *Jian Bing Man*.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that *Jian Bing Man* was already out?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh... I remember I’ve only seen you eight or nine times,\" Qi Hui said directly, ignoring her attempt to get closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Yuan Shanshan also chimed in: \"Don't talk about you, I haven't even seen...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was in the same dormitory as Yang Mi, after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before she could finish, she was quietly elbowed by Yang Mi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem, Mimi and we have a great relationship, you just don't know it,\" Yuan Shanshan coughed lightly and changed her words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had been invited by Yang Mi; there was no helping it, she had to side with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After graduation, her agent had taken her everywhere looking for roles, running to over thirty film crews in half a month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she had come up empty-handed; not a single crew was willing to take her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gap between people is sometimes even larger than the gap between humans and pigs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shall we walk and talk?\" Yang Mi blinked, extending an invitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hui shrugged, noncommittal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qi Hui, do you have any work coming up?\" Yang Mi asked with a smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m going to Huairou in a few days to film an urban romance drama; I can help recommend you for a role.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"An urban romance drama?\" Qi Hui was slightly stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didn't Yang Mi only film historical costume dramas? Had she even filmed that kind of thing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who are the director and the leads?\" Qi Hui asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, a few years later, he would become a bit ungrateful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But... was Yang Mi in that drama?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hui looked up, preparing to refuse Yang Mi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, she pulled out a manuscript.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hui: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was a pretty good show of arrogance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Shanshan said sourly: \"Don't look, Old Wang invited her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She feels bad when her best friend isn't doing well, but she also feels bad when she’s doing too well.\u003C\u002Fp>",1558,"2026-06-21T03:10:06.472Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","7be5a3622e4375e1b3b743796f100fad2180cce2f0901646ca5bfb9111777c1c","starting-from-hong-shixian-a-chinese-entertainme-chapter-31","starting-from-hong-shixian-a-chinese-entertainme-chapter-29",202,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-from-hong-shixian-a-chinese-entertainme-cover.jpg"]
