Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 162 Oh no, I've caught it from the civil service exam takers!

"Hey, hey, hey..." Qi Hui quickly called out, "Yang Mi, we're classmates, how can you call me teacher?"

Qi Hui subconsciously took a step back, becoming wary, and looked around, wanting to find Jing Tian... only to realize that Jing Tian was not there.

Qi Hui thought to himself that this was troublesome, and then, without giving Yang Mi a chance to speak, he took the initiative to ask Yang Mi about her recent work.

For example, Far Cry or something like that.

As soon as this topic came up, Yang Mi was no longer sleepy. Her smile was as wide as an AK, and she couldn't suppress it as she chatted enthusiastically.

Qi Hui would occasionally chime in with a few words, flattering her until she was dizzy, chatting about "Mysterious Island" one minute and "Love Story in the Capital" the next.

The latter film was shot a long time ago. It was Chen Sicheng's directorial debut, but perhaps because of that, the production was slow to complete and it hasn't been broadcast yet.

In fact, this TV series was not created by Chen Sicheng alone; Li Chen also participated in it.

Yang Mi plays Yang Zixi, a character whose creation was influenced by Li Chen.

Actually, she is a character created based on Li Xiaolu, who is Li Chen's ex-girlfriend.

Li Chen seemed to harbor some resentment towards his ex-girlfriend. In the original script, he wanted Yang Zixi to become a kept woman, then be abandoned, then get pregnant and have an abortion, then take drugs, become mentally unstable, and finally commit suicide.

However, the plot was a bit outrageous, and Chen Sicheng didn't allow it, so he forcibly changed some parts.

However, this also reveals some of Li Chen's attitudes toward Li Xiaolu.

That's quite interesting.

Qi Hui used the rhetoric and skills he had honed before his transmigration to flatter Yang Mi so much that she forgot why she had come up to him.

When she came to her senses, she found that the graduation ceremony had already officially begun, and everyone was sitting in their seats listening to the school leaders speak.

Yang Mi, coming to her senses, felt a pang of frustration. What had she just done? Why had she been chatting idly with Qi Hui?
Now is a golden opportunity while Jing Tian is away, how can we waste it like this?
Immediately, she moved closer to Qi Hui, ready to rekindle their past relationship.

Anyway, nobody likes listening to the school leaders' speeches, and since she and Qi Hui have already graduated, no one will say anything if they whisper to each other.

But just as she was getting ready, Qi Hui suddenly got up and left his seat.

"Uh...where are you going?" Yang Mi stared at me, "You don't have to hide from me like this, do you?"
That's a bit too much!

"Go up and give a speech." Qi Hui pulled a manuscript from his pocket and smiled.
"Old Wang invited me."

Yang Mi was taken aback, and then a wave of depression and discomfort welled up in her heart.

Isn't this her job?
That's what she said to Qi Hui last time... How infuriating!

Soon, Qi Hui walked onto the stage and looked at the huge crowd below. A surge of emotion welled up in his heart.

No wonder school leaders like to give long speeches; with so many people listening, he couldn't help but want to say a few more words.

"Dear fellow students, hello everyone... In this... let us hold high... the banner of scientific development... adhere to... thoroughly implement... and align with the spirit of the Twelfth Five-Year Plan..."

Qi Hui kept talking, and the more he spoke, the smoother and more fluent his words became.

Words that used to make me want to fall asleep sound so pleasant and melodious when I read them out.

Oh no, I've caught the Noon Sunshine trio's influence!
Qi Hui inwardly cried out in alarm. As expected of a province known for its civil service exams, Qi Hui had made such progress after only a few encounters.

In the audience, among the performing arts students, Jing Tian looked at Qi Hui, a hint of pride and sweetness creeping onto her lips.

Ah~ It's a pity they didn't go public with their relationship, otherwise I would be even more proud.

……

Qi Hui quickly finished speaking and returned to his seat.

However, as soon as I got back, I found that my seat had been taken by someone else.

Qi Hui was also familiar with the person who took his place: Zhai Tianlin.

"Junior, Qi Hui is back." Yang Mi patted him, a hint of joy appearing on her usually stern face.

Compared to Qi Hui, Zhai Tianlin was nothing in her eyes. He wasn't handsome, and his career wasn't going well either.

Moreover, this person spoke with a certain arrogance, frequently mentioning that he was already a graduate student and was preparing to take the doctoral entrance exam.

Yang Mi wasn't interested in any of this; listening to it only annoyed her.

Zhai Tianlin noticed the impatience in Yang Mi's tone and couldn't help but purse his lips.

The look in his eyes as he looked at Qi Hui was now filled with more frustration. In the past, he could look down on Qi Hui for not having a single work and thinking, "What's so great about trash like that?"
But now, which of Qi Hui's roles isn't a classic?
Xie Ruolin, who's always spouting witty remarks; Chen Liang, who's both scholarly and martial; and Xiao Zhuang, a special forces soldier; and Hong Shixian.

Especially recently, he independently invested in a film called "Love is Not Blind" which became incredibly popular.

He hasn't even received his master's degree yet, and the show he's acting in hasn't even premiered.

He couldn't compare to Qi Hui, but he refused to accept it!
He was especially indignant at Yang Mi's impatience with him but her enthusiasm for Qi Hui!

Zhai Tianlin slowly stood up, looking at Qi Hui with a smile, his expression carrying a hint of mockery:

"Senior brother, may I sit in your seat for a bit and chat with senior sister? Is that alright?"

"I don't mind chatting with Yang Mi," Qi Hui shrugged. "But I do mind her sitting in my seat."

"You're in graduate school, right? You know I have poor grades and I dislike good students the most."

"..." Zhai Tianlin was speechless.

He had inquired about Qi Hui, who was a studious person who disliked crowds when he was in school.

She's similar to Zhang Xiaofei in their class.

Zhai Tianlin felt like hitting someone; he wasn't a good-tempered person to begin with.

Yang Zi once mentioned on a TV show that she almost arrived late once when she first entered university.

Zhai Tianlin was yelling and shouting at the station entrance, like an angry lion.

Many hosts have criticized him, saying he is arrogant and has a bad temper.

He was enraged by Qi Hui's sarcastic remark and felt an urge to hit him... if only he could win.

"Hey, why are you treating me this differently?" Yang Mi complained. "I'm not even as good as someone in a position?"
Outrageous!

"Hahahaha..." As soon as these words were spoken, the people around burst into laughter.

Yuan Shanshan laughed the loudest. Hasn't Qi Hui always treated you differently?
For a moment, the entire alumni area was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Qi Hui returned to his seat, while Zhai Tianlin... no one paid him any attention.

What is a degree certificate?
As Ai Gong once said, academic qualifications and diplomas are the last piece of shabby, worn-out paper you have to pull out when you really have nothing else to prove yourself.

Starting with an internship that pays 3,000 yuan a month, diplomas become useless; only skills and abilities are truly valuable.

Previously, Qi Hui didn't take it seriously, thinking that this so-called Master Ai, who was just rambling on and on, was nothing special, and that his admirers were exaggerating.

Until I stepped onto the construction site...

And now, Zhai Tianlin is just like that, but unfortunately, he doesn't think so.

Looking at the laughing crowd, Zhai Tianlin found their laughter grating.

"Wait, wait until I pass the doctoral entrance exam and get my doctoral degree certificate, then I'll show you who's awesome..." Zhai Tianlin clenched his fists and made a silent vow.

I vowed that I would get my doctoral degree no matter what.

Just then, someone ran in, causing another commotion in the alumni area.

However, they are not alumni, but current students.

Guo Fan is currently pursuing a master's degree in public administration!
To outsiders, he is a rising director who turned a budget of 20 million yuan into a box office of nearly 500 million yuan.
