73 Phone call

Assistant Li’s suggestion was exactly what Jiang se wanted. The contract was settled very quickly. Before she left, Jiang se wanted to treat assistant li to a meal to thank her for her earlier advice. However, assistant li was busy and could not get away. Nevertheless, she appreciated Jiang SE’s kindness and personally escorted her into the elevator.

After signing the contract with Shangjia, the company transferred one-third of the agreed remuneration to him on Monday.

After Jiang se received the money, she made a phone call and paid three months ‘rent. She had classes on Saturday morning and went back to the du residence in the afternoon to visit Zhou Hui.

Although she did not have much of a relationship with the du family, since she had been reincarnated into Jiang SE’s body, she would naturally not shirk her duties.

After leaving home for some time, Jiang SE’s previous room in the du residence had been demolished. The wire bed inside had also been taken out. When she learned that Jiang se had entered the first Academy and did not need to stay here, she looked relieved.

She realized that she did not know much about her elder daughter. Perhaps, after she had remarried, she had placed all her focus on her new family. It was inevitable that she would distance herself from Jiang se.

If it was in the past, when Jiang se talked back to her and disobeyed her, she could still teach her daughter a lesson.

However, now that her daughter had changed, she naturally could not speak to her daughter.

She remembered that when Jiang se had moved out of the du residence, du honghong had thrown Jiang SE’s letter of acceptance away in private. At the time, Zhou Hui had also thought that Jiang se would not be able to pay for her college tuition fees. She had also disapproved of du honghong’s actions.

However, in order to prevent the two sisters from arguing, she did not say anything about it.

When she saw Jiang se again, Zhou Hui recalled the situation and felt a little awkward.

Jiang se sat there for a while. The two of them had nothing to say to each other. Zhou Hui kept looking at the clock on the wall. After a long while, she said hesitantly, ”

“Your uncle du is about to get off work, Yingluo.”

She looked a little uneasy, but Jiang se could naturally understand what she meant.

“He doesn’t know you’re coming over today.” Zhou Hui rubbed her hands together. Jiang se said, ”

“I just decided to come and take a look. I still have something to do at school later, so I have to go back later.”

When Zhou Hui heard this, her heart immediately calmed down.

Du changqun did not like Jiang se. After she moved away, she rarely showed a smile. Now that Jiang se had suddenly returned, there was no guarantee that her husband would not start a fight again if he saw another person at the dinner table.

When she heard that Jiang se was not staying, Zhou Hui smiled and nodded.

“If you have something to do at school, you should go back early. Don’t delay.”

Jiang se nodded. She looked uneasy and left the du residence.

The du family did not have a good life. Zhou Hui’s life was difficult as well. However, Jiang se had no intention of giving her money. Firstly, Jiang se was still young and had not reached legal adulthood. Regardless of whether she was mentally mature or not, she would only be 18 next month. Logically speaking, Zhou Hui still had a certain obligation to her. Since she was not planning to look for Zhou Hui to raise her, she would naturally not give her money at a time like this.

Secondly, she understood the principle of not revealing one’s wealth. She was not sure if Zhou Hui would ask her to use the money to help the du family after knowing that she had money. Thus, she only came back to visit Zhou Hui for a while and left early.

Jiang SE’s earlier conversation with Zhou Hui was just a random excuse. Since she had nothing to do in school, she planned to return to her rented apartment for the night.

On the way, she received a call from an unknown number. As soon as she picked up the phone, hou Xiling’s voice rang on the other end.

“Xiaojiang, can you tell who I am?”

“Teacher hou?”

Jiang se was a little surprised. She had met hou Xiling once in the audition room the other day. Back then, hou Xiling had even asked his old friend, Chang Yuhu, to help guide her in her acting.

However, when she left Shangjia company that day, she did not have the chance to meet hou Xiling again. The two of them did not exchange phone numbers either. Jiang se initially thought that hou Xiling was busy and that this matter would just pass as a passing remark. She did not take it to heart.

Who knew that a week later, hou Xiling would personally call.

“Haha, you have a good memory, little girl.”

Hou Xiling seemed to be in a very good mood over the phone.

“Didn’t I say the other day that I would like teacher Chang to give you some pointers on your acting? But as people get older, their memory also grows. After I finished talking business with xiwen that day, I forgot to ask you to leave my phone number.”

He didn’t take advantage of his seniority, but admitted his mistake first.

“I only called you after I asked for your number from someone from excellent company.”

During the audition that day, he had already put in a few good words for Jiang se. Jiang se was grateful to him, but she did not take this matter to heart. To her surprise, hou Xiling remembered his promise and took the initiative to call her.

“Teacher hou, thank you for thinking about me even though you’re busy.”

Hou Xiling smiled and said, ”

“I’ve been really busy recently, but no matter how busy I am, I still have to do things one by one.” He said a few words before revealing the purpose of the call.

I’ve already contacted my old friend. She’s going to the National Theater this weekend. I’ll go with you. Can you spare some time? ” she asked.

Jiang se was naturally happy when she heard that there was such an opportunity. She agreed to it without hesitation.

After discussing with hou Xiling that they would head to the hou residence the next morning, he invited Chang Yuhu to join them. Jiang se would accompany them for lunch before they headed to the Imperial National Theater in the afternoon.

After Jiang se hung up, she could not help but heave a long sigh of relief. A smile appeared on her face.

There were not many people on the train at the moment, but many of them were secretly sizing Jiang se up. A few young people were whispering to each other while looking at Jiang se. They were guessing if she was a celebrity from some entertainment company. They looked like they wanted to approach her but did not dare to.

It was still early when she returned to her rented apartment. Jiang se took out the script for ” Beiping incident ” and read it.

After she signed with the crew, Shangjia company had prepared a script for the individual lines of ” doukou ” for her. They had also given her the complete script that they had not given her before.

She had read half of it while she was at home, but she had not finished it yet.

When she had only watched the part of ‘doukou’, she had sighed at’ doukou’s ‘fate, but now that the entire script was in her hands, the situation suddenly changed.

The male protagonist, Xiao CI, was born into a well-to-do family in his early years. His parents had Great Expectations of him. They taught him the Four Books and Five Classics from a young age and arranged a wife of equal social status for him.

At that time, the power of the old days had already weakened, and the country was in trouble. He was worried about the nation’s backwardness, so he was very active during his school days and ran around for the nation.
