Chapter 15: Keeping the Appointment

Yin Qiaoqiao suddenly asked: "Qinqin, did Senior Huang tell you what the situation of their crew is? How could that Wu Yuchen shoot a film as a freshman?"

Compared to the script, Yin Qiaoqiao was more concerned about the things behind it.

Jiang Qinqin shook her head: "I haven't even read the script; why ask this? Wait until we see Senior Huang next time and ask him."

After Jiang Qinqin finished speaking, she took out the script and flipped through it. Chen Shasha beside her, although she was unhappy with Wu Yuchen's attitude, was actually quite curious; after all, Huang Lei praised him so much, so his vision was worth believing, so she also leaned over to read it together.

Yin Qiaoqiao didn't care about the script, but her eyes turned, planning to go and inquire about Wu Yuchen's situation. The Tao Jingying Academy wasn't big, and all their girls lived in the same dormitory building, so Yin Qiaoqiao just had to go to a junior sister she knew in the freshman year to visit.

Jiang Qinqin and Chen Shasha sat on the edge of the bed flipping through the script, and Yin Qiaoqiao going out didn't attract their attention; the dormitory fell into silence for a while.

After a while, Yin Qiaoqiao had already returned from visiting, only finding out that Wu Yuchen was a local in Beijing, and it wasn't clear what his family did.

However, being a local was much stronger than being from out of town. Now university students, if they didn't have a local unit to receive them after graduation, they couldn't even get a household registration and could only be assigned back to their original place. But for those of them doing art, the cultural atmosphere and opportunities in other regions were a world of difference compared to Beijing.

And if they didn't return to their original place and stayed in Beijing, they could only be self-employed, without a receiving unit or household registration, which was a rootless duckweed, also known as "North Drifter," and none of them wanted to be a North Drifter.

Yin Qiaoqiao thought this way, glanced at the two girls sitting on the edge of the bed, and couldn't help but ask: "I see the script isn't thick; you two haven't finished reading it yet?"

Her opening startled the two girls who were staring at the script in a daze.

Chen Shasha still had a look of shock on her face, muttering in her mouth: "This story, this story..."

Then only to see her slap her thigh and shout "wow," crying: "Why didn't Senior Huang

Although Jiang Qinqin didn't speak at this moment, her hands were gripping the script tightly. Her face showed both surprise and joy, and she couldn't help but mentally project herself into the scene of playing this female driver.

Seeing this, Yin Qiaoqiao couldn't help but ask curiously: "Is this script very good?"

"Especially good!"

After Chen Shasha finished speaking, she asked Jiang Qinqin again:

"Qinqin, was this script written by that Wu Yuchen?"

A smile appeared on the corner of Jiang Qinqin's mouth as she nodded: "Senior Huang said it was created by him personally."

Chen Shasha scratched her hair, looking quite regretful. Now she had no opinion at all about Wu Yuchen's previous attitude; a talented person being a bit arrogant, isn't that perfectly normal?!

Yin Qiaoqiao couldn't help but think to herself, oh, I didn't expect him to be a talented person too.

Although the concept of "tall, rich, and handsome" didn't exist yet, Yin Qiaoqiao had already labeled Wu Yuchen with a similar tag. Plus the two points of being a Beijing local and having talent, he was a target worth her trying for!

"Qinqin, did Teacher Huang say when the filming is?"

"It should be this weekend."

Hearing this, Chen Shasha's eyes rolled, and she suggested to Jiang Qinqin:

"Qinqin, isn't Senior Li Dawei going to treat you to a meal this weekend?

If you don't have time, then..."

"I'm not even close with him, what meal? I'm not going!" Jiang Qinqin immediately expressed her firm stance.

"Qinqin, look at Senior Li Dawei, he's mature and composed, and he works at the Tao Jingying Studio, plus he has connections. What a great guy, you should just go!" Chen Shasha actively urged her from the side.

"Since you say he's so great, you go if you like him!" Jiang Qinqin didn't even lift her head, liking the script in her hands more and more.

Hearing this, Yin Qiaoqiao glanced at Jiang Qinqin, feeling a bit jealous in her heart.

After Jiang Qinqin entered the school, she stole the attention of most of the boys. Even Li Dawei, who was from the '89 class and had already graduated for over a year, was stunned when he returned to school and saw Jiang Qinqin, and began pursuing her.

Although this Li Dawei hadn't been working at the Tao Jingying Studio for two years, he had a good mother, the rare and powerful female director in the industry, Liu Guoquan, who had extensive connections.

If one were to date him, there would be no need to worry about not having a unit to accept you after graduation, and one could also use him to access more opportunities and resources.

If it were Yin Qiaoqiao, even if she didn't date him, she would have to actively keep in touch and string him along to strive for enough benefits.

Jiang Qinqin smiled at Chen Shasha again and said:

"Shasha, Senior Huang usually takes such good care of us, how can I not go if he asks me to help? Don't you think so!"

Chen Shasha knew that Jiang Qinqin had already made up her mind to play this role, and could only sigh in regret. If she hadn't been so willful at the time and had performed well, she might have had a chance to land this role!

Chen Shasha wasn't doing it for fame or fortune; they were only sophomores and didn't have many utilitarian thoughts yet. It was purely an actor seeing a good script and a role they liked, producing a strong desire to perform, and a sense of regret arose spontaneously after missing it.

Wu Yuchen came out of the school gate and found a small restaurant diagonally across the street. Today, Huang Lei told him that Jiang Qinqin had already agreed and wanted to chat with him first.

With the female lead secured, Wu Yuchen naturally accepted the invitation happily.

As soon as he walked into the small restaurant, he saw three beauties of different styles gathered around a table, laughing and talking—it was none other than the Three Golden Flowers.

Wu Yuchen raised an eyebrow. He originally thought it would just be Jiang Qinqin, but he didn't expect all three of the Three Golden Flowers to come.

To be honest, Wu Yuchen also felt that it was quite a coincidence that these Three Golden Flowers were together; Jiang Qinqin, Yin Qiaoqiao, and Chen Shasha all had reduplicated names.

Over there, Yin Qiaoqiao was the first to wave at Wu Yuchen, greeting him enthusiastically: "Wu Yuchen, over here~"

Wu Yuchen walked over with a smile: "Sorry for keeping the three seniors waiting."

Yin Qiaoqiao picked up the water pot nearby, poured a cup of water, and handed it to Wu Yuchen, saying with a smile:

"No need to be so formal, just call us by our names."

Wu Yuchen took the teacup, feeling that this Yin Qiaoqiao was quite warm in her social interactions.

"Thank you, Senior Qiaoqiao!"

Then he turned his head, raised his teacup, and thanked Jiang Qinqin: "Thank you, Senior Qinqin, for being willing to join our crew!"

Jiang Qinqin smiled sweetly: "No need, no need. I should be the one thanking you for giving me this opportunity. Your script is written so well!"

Chen Shasha, who was beside them, took the initiative to speak: "Wu, Director Wu, I was in a bad mood and not in the right state when I performed earlier. It was my fault. Please don't take it to heart. If there are any good scripts in the future, don't forget me~"

Originally, Wu Yuchen had a mediocre impression of Chen Shasha because of her attitude during her performance, but her taking the initiative to apologize made him change his view of her quite a bit.

"How could I? I've heard Senior Huang praise Senior Shasha's acting skills. I naturally won't mind such a small matter."

Seeing Wu Yuchen brush it off with one sentence, Chen Shasha smiled happily.

At this moment, Yin Qiaoqiao said coquettishly:

"You guys, stop with the thanking and apologizing, are we going to eat or not?"

Everyone laughed and called the waiter to start ordering dishes.
