Zhang Le Yi imdiately sat up straight, looking seriously at Jian Liangtong.
Jian Liangtong squinted slightly, glancing at Wang Er and Xu Jiaren, "You all volunteered to enter the entertainnt industry, wanting to be actors or singers, right?"
"Of course," said Zhang Le Yi and Wang Er.
Jian Liangtong nodded and looked at Xu Jiaren.
Xu Jiaren blushing slightly, nodded.
"So, that ans you’re all sowhat familiar with the rules of the entertainnt industry?" Jian Liangtong asked.
Rules?
Zhang Le Yi and the other two looked at Jian Liangtong with a face full of confusion.
"Don’t get wrong, I’m not talking about the unspoken rules," Jian Liangtong said, rubbing her forehead with a laugh.
"..." The three of them, Xu Jiaren included, breathed a collective sigh of relief.
"All three of you graduated from film or music academies, and the basic qualities required for a competent actor or singer, I’m sure your ntors ntioned them to you during your schooling, right?" Jian Liangtong said.
"I understand, Sister Tong. You want to remind us not to forget to strengthen our abilities and let our skills do the talking, no matter what," said Zhang Le Yi.
"Ability is important, of course, but there’s also..." Jian Liangtong pointed at her head, "Taking shortcuts might make it easier to achieve your goals, but it could also be the fastest way to bring yourself down. In the entertainnt industry, emotional intelligence is as important as ability. Don’t say a word you’re not supposed to, and don’t do sothing you shouldn’t even a bit. Always rember, you’re stars, no matter whether you’re just starting out, you must be cautious in your words and actions. Also, there’s one more crucial point."
Jian Liangtong looked at them and said, "Respect your seniors and treat your juniors kindly. In the entertainnt industry, seniority is important."
"Yes, yes, Sister Tong, we’ve rembered everything you’ve said," Zhang Le Yi said obediently.
Jian Liangtong curled her lips, "It’s hard to restrain yourself, but I believe you’ll do a great job."
Zhang Le Yi and Wang Er smiled shyly, while Xu Jiaren still had a poker face. "You’ll have a few days to deal with your personal matters after this, and then you’ll start a month-long intensive training. This training will be brutal, so be ntally prepared," Jian Liangtong said.
Their expressions beca serious as Zhang Le Yi and the others looked at Jian Liangtong nervously.
"No confidence, or do you feel you can’t endure the hardships?" Jian Liangtong laughed.
"Confident."
"I can endure!"
Zhang Le Yi and Wang Er said in unison.
Jian Liangtong raised her lips and looked at Xu Jiaren, "What about you?"
"Yes," Xu Jiaren solemnly nodded.
"I’ve said everything I needed to say, don’t just stand there, eat," Jian Liangtong picked up chopsticks and said to them.
Zhang Le Yi and the others exchanged glances before slowly picking up their chopsticks.
Perhaps because they weren’t familiar with each other yet, during the al, Jian Liangtong could clearly sense the discomfort of the three of them.
Seeing them like this, Jian Liangtong herself also ate awkwardly.
So after the al, they left, and Jian Liangtong packed so more food and went ho with Hao Hao.
Returning to Yu Yang Apartnt, as soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw Ruan Chen leaning against the wall beside her apartnt door with a cigarette stub almost burnt out between his fingers.
Compared to his usually calm image, smoking Ruan Chen looked like the daring gang leader in a cri movie, unafraid of anything.
His entire deanor exuded a sense of darkness and ruthlessness.
It seed as if he could toss away the cigarette at any mont and pull out a gun from his belt!
"Why are you standing there dumbly?"
Getting a sudden tap on her forehead, Jian Liangtong fluttered her long eyelashes in surprise, covering her forehead with her hand and looked at Ruan Chen, who had sohow walked up to her.
Ruan Chen had just smoked, with a faint scent of tobacco on him, not unpleasant, quite the opposite, it was rather manly.
But Jian Liangtong frowned with disdain, pulling Hao Hao a step back.
Ruan Chen laughed, throwing the cigarette butt into the trash beside the elevator and smirked at Jian Liangtong, "Now, is this okay?"
"..." Jian Liangtong pursed her lips and led Hao Hao to the door.
Ruan Chen strolled a few steps, leveraging his long legs, quickly caught up, and bent down to take the bag Jian Liangtong was holding into his hand.
Feeling the emptiness in her hand, Jian Liangtong slightly stunned, turned her head to look at Ruan Chen, eyes scanning the food bag in his hand, frowning, "What are you doing?"
"What do you think?" Ruan Chen raised the bag in his hand at her.
Jian Liangtong bit her lip and asked, "Don’t you have work?"
"Can work, or not work," Ruan Chen said.
"..." How spoiled!
Jian Liangtong stared at him for two seconds with a frown, then pursed her lips, walked to the door, bent down, and took out a key from under the mat to open it.
Ruan Chen followed her in, and Jian Liangtong said nothing, but her frown deepened.
Reaching the living room, Jian Liangtong placed her bag on the sofa and looked at Ruan Chen, "Have you had lunch yet?"
"Not yet," Ruan Chen said.
Jian Liangtong hesitated for a mont, "Then you can have the takeaway I brought back."
"Aren’t you eating?" Ruan Chen asked.
"We ate outside, you go ahead," Jian Liangtong said.
Ruan Chen was silent for a mont.
Jian Liangtong stared at him curiously, "What..."
"Did you know I was coming and intentionally brought sothing?" Ruan Chen asked, staring at her with a hint of joy in his voice.
Jian Liangtong twitched the corner of her eyes, avoiding his gaze, and said flatly, "I’m not so deity who can predict you’d co and hadn’t had lunch and specially prepared a al for you."
Ruan Chen, "..."
Watching Ruan Chen finish off all the food she packed back for him, leaving not even a drop of soup, Jian Liangtong felt inexplicably a bit unhappy.
She let him eat, and he really ate it all!
Didn’t leave her even a bit!
Though she wouldn’t necessarily have eaten his leftovers!
"The food from this restaurant is pretty good. What’s it called?" Ruan Chen asked lazily, leaning back on the sofa, his eyes squinting as he stared intently at Jian Liangtong.
Jian Liangtong didn’t answer him and just glanced at the takeout box he finished, which had the logo of the Chinese restaurant on it.
Ruan Chen had already seen it; he just wanted her to say it.
Now seeing her unwillingness to speak to him, he licked his lower lip a bit self-consciously.
Jian Liangtong simply tidied up the coffee table in front of the sofa.
Finally, she looked at Hao Hao, who was talking to Ruan Chen, and said, "Hao Hao, it’s ti for your nap."
Jian Chenghao paused and looked at Jian Liangtong.
Jian Liangtong smiled gently at him, "Do you want mom to take you to your room?"
"... I’ll go myself." Jian Chenghao said, pulling a face.
Hao Hao never had the habit of taking naps since he was little, it’s unclear who he took after.
And since Hao Hao doesn’t nap, his mother Jian Liangtong wouldn’t logically know it.
But now she brought up the idea of him taking a nap, clearly wanting to send him away!
Jian Chenghao got off the sofa and gave Jian Liangtong a lingering look before walking to his little room.
Once Hao Hao left, only Ruan Chen and Jian Liangtong were left in the living room.
Ruan Chen leaned on the sofa, his eyes deeply fixed on Jian Liangtong.
Jian Liangtong sat up slightly, also looking at Ruan Chen, her clear eyes calm, "Mr. Ruan, can you tell what you want from ?"
Ever since she t Ruan Chen four years ago, he had always appeared around her from ti to ti.
So say he likes her, but four years have passed, and he has never confessed to her.
But to say he doesn’t like her, many of his actions are really quite misleading.
Moreover, she would bet on it.
The Ruan Chen she knows is definitely not the sa person as the Brother Ruan Jin Jumo knows.
In Jin Jumo’s eyes, Ruan Chen is steady, introverted, and extrely capable.
In her eyes, however, Ruan Chen is cunning and inscrutable!
At his age, she doesn’t think he would do sothing aningless for no reason.
Therefore, there must be a reason why he so frequently appears in her life!
But this reason, Jian Liangtong couldn’t guess.
Before, when he appeared around her, there was still Jin Jumo.
But now, it’s only her.
So, for many things, she can no longer sit back and wait.
Her life can no longer have any disturbances!
Looking at Jian Liangtong’s serious little face, Ruan Chen’s eyes shifted slightly, the upward curve of his lips deepened, "You’re too tense."
"It’s not that I’m tense. It’s that you’re hard to read." Jian Liangtong said.
"Do you want to see through ?" Ruan Chen asked back.
Jian Liangtong hesitated for a mont, then shook her head without any doubt, "No, I don’t."
"If you don’t want to, then why ask?" Ruan Chen stared at her.
"..." Jian Liangtong pursed her lips slightly, frowning as she looked at him, "I just want to live a quiet life with Hao Hao without being disturbed by anyone."
The upward curve of Ruan Chen’s lips descended slightly, "So, am I disrupting you now?"
"... Yes," Jian Liangtong replied.
Ruan Chen’s lips pressed together suddenly, staring deeply at Jian Liangtong. After a long while, he said slowly, "Why do you think I’m disrupting you rather than wanting to integrate into your life, to make you accept ?"
"..." Jian Liangtong’s almond eyes slightly changed as she looked at Ruan Chen, "Accept you?"
"Yes, accept !" Ruan Chen said.
Jian Liangtong took a soft breath, "You wouldn’t want to say you like , would you?"
"I thought I had made it pretty obvious." Ruan Chen stared at her.
"....." It was quite obvious, but hadn’t he never said it?
Jian Liangtong twitched the corner of her mouth.
Strangely, when he expressed his liking for her, she felt no fluctuation in her heart at all!
Jian Liangtong was silent for a few seconds, then looked at Ruan Chen and said, "Mr. Ruan is wiser than most, and if soone likes Mr. Ruan, I’m sure Mr. Ruan can easily tell, and vice versa."
Jian Liangtong’s underlying aning was to make clear that she does not like him.
"You don’t like now, but that doesn’t an you won’t in the future," Ruan Chen said.
"That’s because Mr. Ruan still doesn’t know well enough, if I like soone, I won’t change for a lifeti. If I don’t like soone, I won’t start liking them just because ti passes." Jian Liangtong said.
Ruan Chen curled his lips, the curve slightly cold, "So, you still like Hao Hao’s biological father?"
