"...is it... okay?" Jiang Xiaoya said uncertainly to herself.
To be precise, she didn't know which path to take. There are many ways to become a star, just like in opera where there are different roles such as sheng, dan, jing, mo, and chou. She wanted to be the center of attention, but the options were overwhelming.
Should she pursue acting, singing, or dancing?
Acting could be divided into opera, drama, and screen performances, which include television dramas and movies. Each form has its own unique positioning.
For a girl who only dreamed of stardom from magazines and television, it was hard to choose a path. Given her family's financial situation, she didn't have to worry about not having the means to pursue any of them.
Right now, she was still learning some basic knowledge. She wanted to learn singing or dancing, but without a foundation, it was quite difficult. At least with acting, she could gradually improve and grow through practice.
"What do you mean by 'okay'?" Jiang Yizhou empathized with her state. It was like rowing a boat; whether you row left or right, you must firmly hold the oars. In his past life, he had been afraid to take responsibility for his own life and had simply let go of the oars, allowing himself to drift along the river of life. That was cowardice.
Whether poor or rich, noble or lowly, once you let go of your own life, you are a coward.
This life was no different; at every crossroads in life, one must make choices and bear the responsibilities and obligations that come with those choices.
Of course, being harsh on oneself is one thing; being harsh on others is a bit excessive. Jiang Yizhou only wanted to help Xiao Ya find direction.
However, he happened to know someone from the Beijing Film Academy. Thinking of Yu Jinghong, who was completely different from the gentle and knowledgeable person in his past memories, Jiang Yizhou began to worry. Could it really be the butterfly effect that would lead her to...
Suppressing his concern that this somewhat crazy woman might lead Xiao Ya astray, Jiang Yizhou relaxed his brow and said, "How about this? I know a friend from the Beijing Film Academy. She has worked as a teaching assistant there and studied abroad for three years. I'll ask her to guide Xiao Ya and help her get started!"
Gao Qingzhen naturally knew about the Beijing Film Academy. She was currently accompanying her daughter and helping arrange her studies and extracurricular training. She had also learned a lot about the path her daughter wanted to take and knew about both the Beijing Film Academy and the Central Academy of Drama; these were her daughter's goals.
"That sounds great! When will you introduce Xiao Ya to her?"
Jiang Yizhou wasn't in a hurry. "Mom, just focus on your preparations. It's not like she's going to take the exam tomorrow. I'll contact her first and let you know once it's settled!"
In this family of four, it used to be just the mother lecturing the three of them. Now, due to Jiang Yizhou's changes, it had turned into two people discussing family matters while the relaxed Jiang Maoqiang and silent Jiang Xiaoya quietly listened without speaking.
Should I also find a job for my father? It doesn't matter how much it pays, as long as it keeps him occupied. However, it's actually quite difficult to find one. After discussing it with my mother, Jiang Yizhou noticed his father's unease. Although he appeared relaxed, he was clearly restless.
During the night he spent at home, his father took over all the household chores that used to be done by his mother—cleaning, cooking, washing vegetables, scrubbing pots, and doing the dishes.
His mother adapted quickly, starting to buy some cosmetics and health products. Before finishing dinner, she turned on the television to watch a drama.
People are truly strange. Jiang Yizhou couldn't understand why his father, who was leisurely at their hometown but was urged by his mother to work, was now looking for things to do. Meanwhile, his mother, who had worried about everything back home and had early signs of gray hair and wrinkles, quickly adjusted to her son's wealth and took on the demeanor of someone from a wealthy family.
...
"Fei Yan, what's wrong? You look like you didn't sleep well," said Song Rushi, who was still unaware of the situation, as she greeted the busy Lu Feiyan.
Lu Feiyan gazed deeply at Song Rushi, seemingly contemplating whether this woman had confronted Ding Zhengnan, which might explain Ding Zhengnan's departure. Upon reflection, it wasn't an impossible scenario!
"Are you happy?"
Seeing her unadorned partner suddenly question her coldly, Song Rushi completely did not understand what had angered Lu Feiyan.
"Fei Yan, what do you mean? What does my happiness have to do with anything?" Song Rushi lowered her tone slightly in an attempt to engage Lu Feiyan in a calm conversation.
Their relationship hadn't progressed to the point where she could beg for forgiveness and restore their friendship.
"Ding Zhengnan left a breakup letter for Jiang Yizhou and just walked away. I wish you could keep your man and not let him get involved with other women again! I still need to find Ding Zhengnan; I'm leaving!" With no common ground for conversation, Lu Feiyan quickly packed a few things and hurried out.
Bang~~
The loud sound of the door slamming startled the team members who had just arrived. They began to wonder what had happened and peeked out from their workstations to see what was going on.
With a cold expression, Lu Feiyan hurriedly left with a few items in hand while Song Zong looked at her departure in confusion and anger, showing no intention of stopping her.
This meant... had the two partners fallen out? Could their fledgling team continue after this? Such questions filled the minds of the team members.
One of the most important conditions for successful entrepreneurship is having an efficient and united team, and unexpected events keep arising!
Song Rushi doesn't know whether to feel happy or worried. She has no expectations for that reckless man; she has merely held onto a glimmer of hope, which is why she has come this far.
Not wanting to dispel the members' doubts, Song Rushi simply left. It's better to be clear about things.
"She’s here? Let’s go meet her!" Jiang Yizhou felt a jolt in his heart when he heard that the newly appointed life assistant had been waiting for him and Song Rushi for a while.
This was naturally due to his guilt, a feeling that is intangible and elusive.
Since Ding Zhengnan left, Jiang Yizhou had been aimlessly coping but also felt a sense of relief. However, it was only now that he suddenly remembered he seemed to have forgotten someone: Song Rushi.
She was the woman he had let down from the beginning to the end. The dramatic developments and the simplicity of it all made him not take Song Rushi seriously.
"As such, what brings you here?" Jiang Yizhou asked pretentiously. Now that Ding Zhengnan was gone, looking at the sorrowful woman before him made him increasingly wish she could disappear without a trace, just like Ding Zhengnan. Such a despicable thought crossed his mind.
It would be great if she could just vanish, but unfortunately, he couldn't do that and didn't have the malicious heart to make her disappear. Yet, just having this thought left Jiang Yizhou feeling uneasy.
