Training the Heavens

Chapter 127 Internship
When Gao Jialin woke up in the morning, Chen Hong had already prepared breakfast for her. After eating, Gao Jialin saw that she was still walking a little unnaturally, so she said, "You don't have to work too hard these days. There is a phone book under the coffee table in the living room. Just ask them to bring you whatever you want to eat."

"It's okay. I also want to practice my cooking skills. I'm sure you'd like to eat home-cooked meals occasionally." Perhaps because of a new change in their relationship, she spoke with less restraint.

"That's true, but there's no need to rush. You'd better take care of your health these days. Otherwise, you'd be in trouble if your mother finds out when you get home." Gao Jialin didn't want her family to know so early.

"Yeah." Chen Hong's face turned red again. She didn't expect that something like this would happen between her and someone just after she started school.

"I have something to go out for, so you just rest at home and read the original version of "Dunhuang". When you come back at noon, we'll have lunch together and then go downstairs to see Teacher Li to see if she has designed the costumes." Seeing that the New Year was approaching, Gao Jialin had to go and see Gao Jiawang.

The furniture factory's business encountered some competition. Some people saw that their styles were novel and tried to imitate them and then sell them at a lower price. Fortunately, Gao Jialin quickly came up with more styles, and the furniture factory had now established a good reputation. Rich people still chose them as their first choice when buying furniture, so as soon as the furniture they produced was produced, it would be sold out.

When they returned home at noon, Chen Hong was studying the original novel seriously in the living room. After they finished their meal, they took a short nap and then went to find Li Jianqun together.

Her eyes lit up when she saw Chen Hong. "Oh, what a pretty girl! No wonder she can play the role of a princess. Jialin, you have a great taste."

Then he showed them a few sketches. "Time is a bit tight, and I haven't had time to digest a lot of things. This is the only design I can come up with right now. If you give me more time, I'm sure I can come up with something better."

Gao Jialin picked it up and took a look. Although there were some flaws, he could still tell that the artistry was indeed very high. He was very satisfied. "It doesn't matter. You can come up with such a work in such a short time. It has exceeded my expectations. Which design do you think is most suitable for Honghong? Let's make it quickly, take a picture of her and send it to Japan."

"Oh, by the way, if it's convenient for you, please send these design drafts as well. I'm sure Mr. Tokuma will like them after seeing them."

"What's the inconvenience? I really want to join the crew of "Dunhuang." This is "Dunhuang". Li Jianqun is not afraid of any hardship to be able to participate in such a movie.

"I'll make the clothes. I'll borrow your teacher's workshop. You might have to find some materials, though. Some high-quality silks are hard to come by."

"Can we find the Friendship Store? If so, let's go check it out now?"

"You can even get in with this? Many silk manufacturers export high-quality silk, so the Friendship Store might actually have it." Li Jianqun packed his things in a hurry, and when he got to the Friendship Store, he found that he had indeed bought the silk he wanted.

"I'll hurry up and it should be ready the day after tomorrow. You can look around for the next two days to see where is the best place to take photos, and I'll help you." Li Jianqun also understands photography, and knows how to show the beauty of clothes and people.

The costumes were quickly completed, and the filming location was set at Longhua Pagoda. Originally built during the Three Kingdoms period, the pagoda was rebuilt by Qian Chu, King of Wuyue, in 977 AD. Its architectural style perfectly matched the setting of Dunhuang. Li Jianqun led Chen Hong up and down the pagoda, snapping several sets of photos. The developed photos were stunning. She was significantly prettier than the original actress, Anna Nakagawa, who played the Uighur Princess Srubia. If Tokuma Yasuyoshi hadn't been blind, he'd have known who to cast.

Gao Jialin stuffed his photo, resume, and design draft into a large envelope, then said to Li Jianqun, "They'll definitely be impressed by your work. If nothing goes wrong, we should have news after the winter break."

"Well, then I won't go home for the New Year. I'll go to Dunhuang for a while to see if I can get any new inspiration. This way, it will be convenient for me to start my work when I join the crew in the future." Li Jianqun's ambition is much stronger than that of ordinary people.

Gao Jialin sent them to the train station and put them in soft sleeper cars. He then went to the airport, took a plane, then a mail truck, and then a shuttle bus, and returned to Gaojia Village with a lot of luggage to celebrate the New Year.

This year's New Year was very lively. Not only did relatives come to visit, but many leading cadres also came to visit. Last year, Gao Jialin was a great success in Japan, which attracted the attention of many leading cadres. Now that he has returned home, many people took the opportunity to come and leave an impression.

It's okay if there are only one or two people, but it's annoying if there are too many people. When Gao Jiawang and the others went out to work, Gao Jialin simply left early with them.

When Chen Hong learned the news over the phone, she immediately bought a train ticket to Shanghai to accompany him. By then, her health had long since recovered, and Gao Jialin was able to spend a few good days. The car, after running in, drove smoother than a new car, and he could drive it with confidence.

As soon as school started, Chinatsu Tsuboi and Juri Hinata arrived in Shanghai together. They brought good news to Gao Jialin. Tokuma Yasukai agreed with Gao Jialin's suggestion, gave the heroine to Chen Hong, and also agreed to let Li Jianqun join the group as costume designer.

They were both a little jealous, "No wonder Sensei doesn't look like us, it turns out there's already such a beautiful Uighur princess."

This kind of jealousy is just talk. In fact, they both know that there is no possibility of anything happening between them and Gao Jialin, so they should cherish the time when he is not tired of them.

The crew soon arrived in China. Chen Hong and Li Jianqun officially joined the team and followed the crew to Dunhuang for filming. Gao Jialin stayed in Shanghai to attend classes as usual, participate in various student activities, and met many outstanding students from all over the country in the Student Union.

He became friends with many people and often communicated with them through letters. In the future, when these people joined the unit, they would be the key training targets. When Gao Jialin left the system and went into business, these people would become his important helpers.

Time passed quickly, and before they knew it, exams were approaching. Gao Jialin's roommates had lost their usual composure and became anxious and worried, because it was already the second semester of their junior year, and they had to consider internships during the summer vacation, and worry about which unit they would be assigned to next year.

Most students' internships are arranged by the school, but Gao Jialin was different. One day, he was studying in the library when his roommate Ma Chuanjie hurried over to inform him, "Teacher Zhang wants you to come over. He said a company wants to discuss your internship."
