"You are what??!"
"That eccentric Director you admired so much? How did it turn out like that?!"
This ti Chen Ruolan blushed in embarrassnt. "It seems my darling helps to put out so good words to the Director. I'm so happy."
Yes, among them, Chen Ruolan was the only one currently in a relationship. After the fateful eting with Fu Hang during their school trips, they got along well and ford a harmonious relationship.
Feng Nian initially doubted him, but since Fu Hang was considerate enough to not ask Chen Ruolan out until they graduated, she finally ceased her suspicion. In the past few years, they had always been very close, and Chen Ruolan was determined to join the sa company as him.
She failed the interview a few tis but didn't give up. After her third try, she finally got accepted. Li Caiyi rembered how happy Chen Ruolan was then.
However, they were assigned to different departnts. Chen Ruolan was pushed to do nial tasks for a year. The most prominent source of her stress was the Director she admired, who also happened to be one of the biggest eccentrics in the industry.
Like Chen Ruolan always said, "I will beco a cool Director like him one day, but I will never beco a petty adult like him."
Finally, her hard work paid off in the form of a promotion.
"I cried when I heard the news. I could finally get away from the status of a lowly slave into a prideful slave." Chen Ruolan got teary-eyed and wiped it dramatically. "Don't worry, if I beco a famous Director one day, I shall never forget you guys."
"You are exaggerating again," Feng Nian sighed. While Zhou Ya softly reprimanded her.
"Just let her be. She is too happy to listen to you anyway."
"Congratulations, Lan Lan!" Li Chunhua and Li Caiyi said simultaneously. The room instantly filled with boisterous laughter.
They cheered and drank while listening to Chen Ruolan's story. Li Caiyi looked at her surroundings and felt blessed to be there with them.
A lot had happened in the past few years, but they would eventually gather and laugh together again. Everyone had their own job, so it wasn't easy for them to et up like this.
Zhou Ya, who used to be against working on their family business, finally resigned herself to her fate when the Old Zhang passed away. Everyone stayed with her to accompany her during her hard tis. They were surprised when on the next day, she firmly decided that she would inherit her grandfather's legacy. Because she couldn't trust her brothers to manage it.
At that ti, Zhou Ya had already finished the procedure to take on a Chinese literature major, but she switched her desired major to the business eventually. As soon as she graduated from college, she returned to Yueguang to work, and the business has been prospering since then. It beca popular and would open a new franchise in another town soon.
Li Caiyi already knew that Yueguang would flourish more in the upcoming years, and it was all thanks to Zhou Ya's effort. She respected her a lot for that.
Feng Nian's decision wasn't any less shocking, as she decided to beco a teacher. She said she wanted to help students who had a hard ti like her in the past, and she enjoyed teaching because she did that for her siblings all the ti.
Feng Nian recently beca a temporary teacher in the middle school she used to attend. If all went well, then she would be a permanent teacher soon.
From what Li Caiyi heard, Feng Nian was pretty popular among her students because she was cool and easy to talk to. Li Caiyi couldn't agree more with those students.
"Well, let's stop talking about for now. I actually have so good news!"
Chen Ruolan shifted her gaze to Li Caiyi, and she had a teasing smirk on her face. "This has sothing to do with Yi Yi."
"?" Li Caiyi pointed at herself in a puzzled manner.
"Stop putting us in suspense and just tell us!" Li Chunhua was getting impatient as usual when it concerned Li Caiyi.
"Due to my privilege as an assistant director now," Chen Ruolan paused while smiling smugly before continuing, "I have access to insider information now. I no longer need to wait for my darling to tell the gossip because gossip naturally cos my way now."
"So this new gossip you heard has sothing to do with Yi Yi?"
"Yes. Actually, it's a pretty big gossip. I heard that the Director and so other important figures in the company are talking about making Yi Yi write the script for our next movie!"
"WHAT?!"
Everyone exclaid in shock before they simultaneously bombarded Li Caiyi with hugs and congratulatory words.
"Our famous writer is finally stepping into the filming industry. I'm so proud of you."
"Xiaoyi will get busier because of this, but I will reluctantly approve this major step in your career."
"To think your works even got the attention of that difficult Director, you are amazing. Give your autograph after this so I can boast it to my students!"
anwhile, Li Caiyi, who was at the center of attention, still couldn't catch up with the news she had just heard.
She…beca a scriptwriter? It was sothing she hadn't thought about before. But hearing what her friends said, a burning fla ignited in her chest.
It would be her first ti, but Li Caiyi was willing to try!
"Lan Lan, are you sure this news is reliable?"
"Do you think I would carelessly open my mouth if I wasn't sure? If things go according to the plan, you should be able to hear from our company soon."
Li Caiyi was so excited she couldn't sit still. Her hand itched to write or produce sothing.
After overcoming a severe writer's block she had a few years ago, her days were filled with writing and more writing. She produced several other works after that, and her popularity steadily grew as her fanbase got bigger.
"If Yi Yi got even more famous than she already is, then wouldn't it be harder for us to et in the future? This ti too, if we didn't catch the interval between her fan signing event, we probably couldn't et up either."
Zhou Ya's concern mirrored hers. Li Caiyi admitted that she had been too busy lately.
The last ti she had fun with her friends like this was three months ago. She had to attend fan signing tour events, a lot of talk shows and recently shared her experiences in seminars too. Even if she did have so free ti, she mostly used it to write.
"I think so too. Xiaoyi, don't you think Jingfei is being too much by pushing these ridiculous schedules onto you? I will go complain to him!"
Li Caiyi scratched her cheeks awkwardly. "The one who decided my schedule isn't him, though."
Honestly, Li Caiyi didn't mind working. In fact, she enjoyed eting her fans, who recognized her writing skill and complinted her.
Besides, she felt like she would think about unnecessary stuff if she didn't make herself busy.
