Huayu Entertainment: Rising Since 1998

Chapter 124 Yao Chen's Emotional Crisis and Yang Xue's Waiting

Ling Xiaosu couldn't help but smile when he heard Yao Chen's words.

"Even if only one of us joins the film crew, that would be great."

Yao Chen and Ling Xiaosu are juniors this year and will be seniors next year.

They need to make plans for what comes next.

Yao Chen looked at Ling Xiaosu, who was smiling in front of him, his face full of contemplation.

"Xiaosu, what do you think about what I told you last time?" Yao Chen asked.

"What's wrong?" Ling Xiaosu was taken aback.

"It's just joining [Nanhua Film and Television]," Yao Chen said, somewhat speechless. This person hadn't taken my words to heart at all.

"Oh, this?" Ling Xiaosu's smile faded.

After Yao Chen asked him about it last time, he did give it serious thought.

He naturally preferred to return to Xi'an, which was his home base.

Ling Xiaosu's family background is actually quite impressive. His mother, Fu Xiaojian, was a director at the Xi'an Film Studio, his grandfather was a cinematographer at the same studio, and his great-grandfather was Ling Zifeng, the famous director who directed "Rickshaw Boy".

If I return to Xi'an, I will definitely receive care from my family elders, and my acting career will surely be more successful.

However, Yao Chen clearly prefers [Nanhua Film & Television] and wants to join them.

The two people had a disagreement because of this.

If I insist on returning to Xi'an, the two of us will inevitably become in a long-distance relationship, and may even break up.

After such a long relationship, he naturally didn't want to break up.

Another option is to join [Nanhua Film & Television].

However, if you join [Nanhua Film & Television], you will face two challenges: firstly, you lack a strong background, and secondly, the competition will be fierce.

The future is very bleak.

Putting aside other things, Fan Binbin, Jia Jingwen, and Gao Yuanyuan are all artists under [Nanhua Film & Television].

Moreover, he has a very close relationship with Zhou Yan.

Even if the two of them joined, they certainly wouldn't be as good as the women.

Therefore, Ling Xiaosu was very conflicted and didn't know what to choose.

"Say something!" Seeing Ling Xiaosu remain silent, Yao Chen was furious and slapped him hard.

"What did I say?" Ling Xiaosu's face was full of helplessness.

"You—" Seeing Ling Xiaosu's expression, Yao Chen already knew the answer in her heart.

His expression instantly darkened.

She and Ling Xiaosu had argued about this matter more than once.

She knew about Ling Xiaosu's background, but she was more optimistic about the future of [Nanhua Film and Television].

Both "The World's Number One" and the upcoming "Assassin Couple" are spearheaded by [Nanhua Film & Television].

Don't be fooled by the fact that [Nanhua Film & Television] is small now.

That's because it's just starting out.

Yao Chen didn't want to miss this opportunity; she wanted to get on the ship as soon as possible.

That's just how life is.

Rather than living a mediocre life, it's better to seize an opportunity.

In comparison, Ling Xiaosu is more laid-back and stable.

Therefore, he prefers to return to Xi'an.

Two choices led to two different outcomes.

If two people have different values, they will break up sooner or later.

"We're having dinner with Zhou Yan later, so don't interrupt," Yao Chen reminded him.

"I understand," Ling Xiaosu nodded.

After hanging up the phone with Yao Chen, Zhou Yan said goodbye to Cui Peng and the other two, and left the dormitory.

"Zhou Yan, where are we going?"

People I knew kept coming over to say hello.

"Let's go eat," Zhou Yan replied with a smile.

Some of the faces were unfamiliar to him; he had never even seen them before, yet they took the initiative to come over and say hello.

Some of them were Zhou Yan's classmates, and they knew each other well and could even joke around with him.

Amidst the greetings of the crowd, Zhou Yan gradually walked out of the dormitory building.

Outside the dormitory building, a beautiful figure stood on the stone steps, her gaze fixed intently on the entrance to the boys' dormitory.

Missed out on anyone.

Just then, a familiar figure appeared.

The beautiful figure smiled happily and walked towards the other person.

As Zhou Yan stepped out of the dormitory, he saw Yang Xue standing on the stone steps, craning her neck and looking around, as if she was waiting for someone.

The woman was wearing a white lace-trimmed dress that reached her knees, with her long legs covered by thin flesh-colored stockings. She carried a cream-colored bag on her shoulder and wore white sneakers. Her long hair flowed freely, and she had an exceptionally good temperament.

Zhou Yan couldn't help but glance at the other person twice.

Yang Xue is indeed beautiful.

Her eyes were bright and expressive, her skin was fair, and her face was full of collagen.

Zhou Yan realized that the other person was heading towards him.

Zhou Yan paused in his tracks and looked at the other person.

Yang Xue approached Zhou Yan, opened her bag, and took out two yuan.

At this moment, many people noticed what was happening and smiled knowingly.

"Another one has come looking for Zhou Yan."

However, they did not laugh.

There were far too many people coming to see Zhou Yan, including them.

So, no one should laugh at anyone else.

"Thank you for your help last time. Here's the money for the meal," Yang Xue said, handing the money to Zhou Yan.

"Oh, is that it?" Zhou Yan suddenly realized.

"You came here just for this?"

"Yes," Yang Xue nodded.

"This money is too hot to handle, I'd rather return it to you sooner rather than later," Yang Xue said with a smile.

"Okay," Zhou Yan said, taking the money.

"Do you have a phone?" Zhou Yan asked.

"Yes," Yang Xue nodded.

It is now the end of 2001, and the mobile phone market has become more diverse, not only in terms of appearance but also in terms of price.

If I grit my teeth, I can definitely afford it.

Moreover, Yang Xue has already started making money.

"What's your phone number? Leave me your contact information," Zhou Yan proactively asked for his phone number.

"Great!" Yang Xue was delighted and gave Zhou Yan her phone number.

"I'm busy right now, I'll call you back later."

"Okay," Yang Xue said, barely suppressing her surprise.

Yang Xue naturally knew Zhou Yan and was also aware of the casting process.

Besides repaying the money, she also wanted to make connections by showing her face.

As for asking for a role, she hadn't thought about it.

They weren't that close.

Even if you ask for it, the other party will see right through you.

But to her surprise, Zhou Yan actually asked for her phone number.

"I'm leaving now," Zhou Yan and Yang Xue waved and turned to leave.

Yang Xue stared blankly at Zhou Yan's departing figure for a long time.

It took her a while to come to her senses and turn to leave.

When Zhou Yan arrived at the cafeteria, he was surrounded by people again.

Some came up to greet him, while others simply clung to Zhou Yan.

For example, Huang Shengyi.

"Senior, come and eat too!" Huang Shengyi was overjoyed to see Zhou Yan. He put down his chopsticks and ran over, not even finishing his meal.

"Something came up," Zhou Yan said, not seeing Yao Chen and Ling Xiaosu.

"You haven't eaten yet, have you? Let me treat you to a meal," Huang Shengyi said, stepping forward and hugging Zhou Yan's arm warmly.

Huang Shengyi's actions startled Zhou Yan.

"I'm sorry, I really have something to do. Let's do it another day," Zhou Yan said, pulling his arm away from Huang Shengyi's grasp.

This guy is too enthusiastic, it's a bit overwhelming.

"Okay," Huang Shengyi said, somewhat disappointed.

At this moment, Yao Chen and Ling Xiaosu rushed over to help Zhou Yan out of the predicament.

"I'm sorry, I should have waited for you downstairs in the dormitory," Yao Chen said apologetically.

She almost forgot that Zhou Yan was no longer the same person he used to be.

There are countless people trying to climb up to him.

"It's okay, I've booked a private room, let's eat outside the school," Zhou Yan said, making up an excuse.

Private rooms can be booked on the spot, but the cafeteria is definitely not an option, it's too crowded.

"Okay," Yao Chen nodded hurriedly.
