Huayu: Starting with binding the front desk

The Spring Festival holiday is over, and it's February 3rd.

Wang Zhe and Zhang Jingyi have arrived in Beijing to prepare for the upcoming college entrance exams.

At Wang Zhe's urging, Zhang Jingyi gave up most of the entrance exams for schools and only applied to Beijing Film Academy and Central Academy of Drama, plus Hubei Arts University in her hometown as a backup.

The focus of college entrance exams and unified exams is different. Unified exams have a greater emphasis on hard skills, while college entrance exams rely more on camera presence, or to put it bluntly, looks.

Wang Zhe's girlfriend from his previous life, Xiao Hua, also got into the Beijing Film Academy after three months of intensive training.

Zhang Jingyi, dragging her suitcase, followed behind Wang Zhe: "Wang Zhe, where are we going now?"

She didn't know Wang Zhe's specific arrangements and followed his instructions in everything.

"Don't worry, this is Beijing, not the Golden Triangle. They wouldn't sell you out here, would they?"

Wang Zhe glanced at his phone. "The car is waiting outside. Let's go to the company first."

We arrived at Qinghe Entertainment at 2 PM.

The location is a standalone building in a cultural and creative park in Chaoyang District. It has three floors. The first floor is the front desk and reception area, as well as a training room. The second floor is the staff office area and meeting room. The third floor is the boss's office and entertainment area.

This was originally a personal studio that Wang Yuejin prepared for Wang Zhe, and the layout was entirely based on Wang Zhe's ideas.

Qinghe Entertainment's new office is still under construction, and this is only a temporary location. In the future, it will still be operated by Wang Zhe's personal studio.

Wang Zhe led Zhang Jingyi into the small building, where the receptionist immediately came to greet them and took their suitcases.

"Mr. Wang, let me do it."

"Just call me Wang Zhe. Is Sister Yangyang here yet?"

"Sister Yangjin arrived yesterday and is currently in her office on the third floor."

"Okay, put your luggage away first," Wang Zhe instructed, then led Zhang Jingyi upstairs.

Qinghe Entertainment currently has only three artists, and only Wang Zhe has officially debuted.

In the past two years, he has only participated in two seasons of "Whirlwind Girl", occasionally released a single, and accepted a few film and television OST invitations, so it is still the same team from his original personal studio.

  

Xu Ying simply poached Yang Yangjin, Shen Yue's agent from her previous life, to be Wang Zhe's exclusive agent.

Xu Ying had originally quit her job at the TV station to take care of the three children herself, but Wang Yuejin worked so hard that he gave her maternity leave, which is how she managed to poach Yang Yangjin.

Yangyang Jin was originally planning to start a business with her best friend, and she had also discovered a promising talent that she intended to nurture herself, so she had no plans to come over.

But Xu Ying said she would directly become Wang Zhe's exclusive agent, and that she would only be involved in managing other artists as a side job.

Yangyang Jin agreed without hesitation. Wang Zhe is currently a hot commodity in the industry and is a future top star that anyone with eyes can see. Only a fool wouldn't take him on.

At first, she was afraid of Wang Zhe, who was famous at a young age and was difficult to please. But after getting to know him, she found that he was just a down-to-earth younger brother, which made her feel even more that she had made the right choice.

Wang Zhe knocked on the door and led Zhang Jingyi into the office.

"Sister Yangyang, thank you so much for coming back during your holiday." Wang Zhe greeted her with a smile.

Yangjin Zhuoma is a Tibetan, and Wang Zhe always calls her Sister Yangyang.

Her name is very common among Tibetans; Han Hong's Tibetan name is also this.

"Long time no see, Xiao Zhe. It's nothing much, I'm just celebrating two Spring Festivals anyway."

Yang Yangjin's gaze fell on Zhang Jingyi behind Wang Zhe, and her eyes lit up. "This is the classmate you were talking about?"

Wang Zhe pulled Zhang Jingyi to sit down on the guest sofa: "Yes, Zhang Jingyi, you're an art student in the same year as me."

Zhang Jingyi smiled and nodded: "Sister Yangyang."

"Have you signed with a company yet?" Yang Yangjin asked directly.

"Huh?" Zhang Jingyi was a little confused by the question.

She was already slow to warm up, and this question made her even more nervous. She subconsciously reached out and grabbed the hem of Wang Zhe's clothes.

"Sister Yangyang, the most important thing right now is the college entrance exam. We can talk about the rest after the exams are over."

Wang Zhe deflected her question and changed the subject, asking, "Has the teacher been found?"

Yang Yangjin saw this scene but didn't say anything; he already understood what was going on.

This little brother is great in every way, except he seems to have a lot of female admirers. He has two older women at the company with whom he has ambiguous relationships, and now this classmate seems to have an unusual relationship with him as well.

However, in her opinion, they haven't crossed any threshold yet, but she has to remind them that dating is the most taboo thing for popular celebrities.

Especially for someone like Wang Zhe, who received so much attention at a young age.

She also understood that Wang Zhe was looking for an art exam tutor probably for this classmate's sake, because he himself didn't need one.

"Classes will begin tomorrow morning. We've invited Professor Zhao from the Beijing Film Academy."

Yang Yangjin paused for a moment, then said, "The Beijing Film Academy came specifically for you, can you give me a definite answer?"

"I'd definitely choose Beijing Film Academy. I'll just take the Central Academy of Drama exam as a side trip." Wang Zhe smiled.

"The musical theatre program at the Central Academy of Drama has the strictest requirements for professional skills. You think it's just a game?" Yang Yangjin was speechless.

"It's about seeing what level I'm at. The Central Academy of Drama doesn't allow freshmen and sophomores to act, so I wouldn't choose that option."

"What if the Central Academy of Drama, like the Beijing Film Academy, allowed you to start acting in your freshman year? You know that no top art school allows freshmen to act, but the Beijing Film Academy gave you the green light, so maybe the Central Academy of Drama could too. They've already contacted me."

"Did they agree?"

Yang Yangjin shook her head: "Not yet, but I'll probably contact you again."

"I understand." Wang Zhe nodded. In fact, even if the Central Academy of Drama broke the rules for him, he didn't plan to go.

Not to mention that he has a girlfriend from a past life at the Beijing Film Academy, and Xiaotian is also waiting for him there.

Zhang Jingyi, who was listening quietly to the side, was already slightly shocked.

The entrance exams haven't even started yet, and the two major universities have already begun vying for students.

……

On February 6th, Wang Zhe returned to Qinghe Entertainment after participating in the preliminary audition for the musical theatre major at the Central Academy of Drama.

He pushed open the door to the training room, where Zhang Jingyi was receiving dialogue training.

The teacher who gave the lesson wasn't Mr. Zhao from the Beijing Film Academy, but a specially hired dialogue teacher.

Teacher Zhao only came over to point out the shortcomings of the two students and did not formally start a class. After all, he was the proctor for this college entrance examination.

However, he also subtly indicated that Zhang Jingyi should have no problem passing the college entrance exam, but her acting skills were a bit lacking, and she should work on them in the next few days.

As soon as Wang Zhe entered the room, Wang Churan, who was sitting next to him listening in, ran over and grabbed his arm.

"My dear little brother, did you miss me?"

Wang Zhe looked at Wang Cheran, who was dangling from his arm, and shook his head: "No, why would I miss you?"

"Tch, you're not being obedient at all."

How did the exam go?

"It's alright." Wang Zhe pulled his arm away, not mentioning that Zhang Jingyi was right next to him, and there was another teacher in the room.

Zhang Jingyi's reading aloud paused for a moment.

Looking at the scene before her, she thought: The two of them are acting so intimately.

However, Wang Zhe had previously told her that in addition to him, the company also had his two older sisters as artists.

Since they are siblings, it's normal for them to hug, right?

The class ended and the teacher had just left.

Wang Zhe then spoke up: "You two know each other, right? Zhang Jingyi is my classmate. Wang Churan is like my older sister, and she's also an artist in the company."

Wang fearfully punched him lightly: "What do you mean by 'considered your sister'?"

The two girls briefly introduced themselves, but neither of them showed any inclination to speak first.

Zhang Jingyi is slow to warm up, while Wang Churan and Wang Zhe could see that she clearly harbored some hostility towards Zhang Jingyi.

Wang Churan is also here to take the entrance exam for the Central Academy of Drama. Tomorrow she will also take the preliminary exam for musical theatre at the Central Academy of Drama. Male and female students will be tested separately.

She is already studying at a professional institution like the Shanghai Theatre Academy Affiliated High School, so the entrance exams aren't too stressful for her. She's even taking the exams while filming.

She filmed her debut work in the previous life, "Oh My General," in which she played the cousin Liu Xiyin.

These are resources that Uncle Song found for her himself.

"Have you finished filming yet?" Wang Zhe asked, trying to start a conversation when neither of them spoke.

Wang shook his head in fear: "Not yet, I'll go back to the film crew after the preliminary audition."

She paused, then asked, "You're only applying to the Beijing Film Academy and the Central Academy of Drama?"

Wang Zhe nodded: "Didn't I tell you? Going to Beijing Film Academy is just a hobby for the Central Academy of Drama."

"Okay, then I'll go to the Beijing Film Academy too."

Wang looked at him with a trembling gaze, "Then I'll apply to the Beijing Film Academy, the Shanghai Theatre Academy, and the Central Academy of Drama."

"You think you can just go like that? Do you even think you'll pass the exam?"

Wang Churan grabbed his neck and said, "If I don't get into the Beijing Film Academy, you'll have to go to the Shanghai Theatre Academy to keep me company."

"I didn't apply to the Shanghai Theatre Academy. Besides, you're making it sound like you're 100% guaranteed to get in."

"Don't worry, even if you don't get into the Beijing Film Academy, I won't let you and Tian Dabing go alone."

Wang Zhe wanted to find a topic to ease the awkwardness, and while Wang Churan was indeed no longer awkward, Zhang Jingyi was practically dying of embarrassment.

Watching the two playfully bickering, she didn't know where to put her hands.

Although it's normal for siblings to play around like this, they're not blood-related siblings!

Is this normal? Absolutely not!

She felt a strong sense of crisis once again. Was she being too passive?

Could it be that Wang Zhe only sees me as a friend and doesn't actually like me?

"Wang Zhe! I'm hungry." Zhang Jingyi didn't know why she suddenly shouted.

Wang Chanran loosened her grip on Wang Zhe and glared at Zhang Jingyi: "Go eat if you're hungry, why are you shouting so loudly?"

Wang Zhe then realized, "Are you hungry? Let's go eat. I'll go call Sister Yangyang to come along."

Zhang Jingyi nodded, ignoring Wang Cherish.

Although Wang Zhe didn't know what Zhang Jingyi was thinking, he was already numb to it.

Luckily, Xiaotian is on vacation at his hometown, otherwise the scene would have been terrible.

But none of these have even started yet!

Xiao Tian gave him a kiss on the lips.
