A great director who grew up happily

"What are you looking at?" Wang Yidi asked knowingly, and at the same time she felt a little happy in her heart. Her mother was right. She would be the most beautiful when she dressed up casually.

"It depends on the person." He said with a silly smile on his face.

"Bah, who is your partner? You are so shameless." Wang Yidi retorted softly, but he automatically leaned over, skillfully took the other's hand, and walked out together.

After the other person got close, Chen Jinnian also smelled a faint floral scent, which seemed to be there and not there, and did not seem abrupt.

"I just canceled the ride-hailing service. Let's go to the gate of the community and see if there are any empty cars passing by."

"Yeah." Wang Yidi snuggled up to him and agreed lightly, but then she remembered that she had delayed for a long time, "Is there still time? Will we be late?"

"It's okay, we have enough time. Besides, we are all young people, it doesn't matter if we come earlier or later." Chen Jinnian booked the private room for 7pm, so there was plenty of time.

Maybe because it snowed again this morning, the two waited at the gate of the community for a few minutes, but didn’t see a taxi and couldn’t call a ride-hailing car on the platform.

Just as Wang Yidi was about to call his mother and ask Wang Qing to give them a ride, a car passing by honked twice, and then the passenger window rolled down.

Chen Jinnian bent down and saw that it was Fang Yuan. Before he could say anything, the other party shouted, "It really is you two. I thought it was dark and I was seeing things. Who are you waiting for?"

"Uncle Fang, we're not waiting for anyone. We were just planning to take a taxi to eat."

"Hurry up and get on. It's hard to get a taxi today. I'll take you wherever you want to go." Fang Yuan looked a little tired, but still said enthusiastically.

"Ah, that's not good. I think you're going to call it a day."

"Don't talk nonsense. What's wrong with me taking you upstairs and downstairs? Besides, this is what I do. Come up quickly. It's very cold on the roadside."

Chen Jinnian looked at Wang Yidi beside him. Although her outfit looked nice, it was not very cold-resistant. So he didn't say anything else. He opened the car door, held the car frame and let her in.

Wang Yidi bent down carefully as she went in, holding the hairpin on her high ponytail, fearing that it would get bumped in the process.

After Chen Jinnian was done, Fang Yuan asked, "Where are you going to eat?"

"Bian Yi Fang, the one at the Olympic Sports Center."

"Hey, what are you doing over there? No one here goes there." Fang Yuan asked while driving.

"I made an appointment with several students from the Central Academy of Drama to talk about the art exam. Isn't that place close to the school?" Chen Jinnian explained, and then found a cushion in the car to help pad Wang Yidi's back so that it wouldn't touch her tied hair.

He now truly realized that although driving in Beijing is troublesome, not having a car is even more troublesome.

He didn't realize it before when he was alone, and rode an electric bike and a bicycle everywhere. Now that Wang Yidi is around, he feels the need to buy one.

"Oh, that's great. Let's get familiar with each other in advance," Fang Yuan said with a cheerful smile. "By the way, are you planning to go to the Central Academy of Drama or the Beijing Film Academy?"

"Uncle Fang, look at what you said. The school is not owned by my family, so naturally I can go to whichever one I can."

At the Teachers Road intersection, Fang Yuan stopped the car and waited for the light to turn green. He raised his hand to open the rearview mirror and looked at the handsome man and beautiful woman Chen Jinnian and Wang Yidi snuggling together. He smiled and said, "You two won't be a big problem for us. It's much less troublesome than Fang Yifan. He still hasn't decided on a major."

"Ah, Fang Yifan hasn't made his choice yet. The teacher at the Central Academy of Drama has reminded him that his abilities are not up to par, whether it's acting or musical theatre, and he needs training quickly." Wang Yidi said in surprise.

She didn't expect Fang Yifan to be so careless. His foundation was average to begin with, and he didn't make good use of the time for training.

Chen Jinnian smiled helplessly, and moved the hand that was around Wang Yidi's waist twice, signaling her to stop talking. What he said was true, but it was not very pleasant to hear as a parent.

"Uncle Fang, I've also been training lately, and I met a pretty good dance teacher who specializes in teaching boys. You can take Fang Yifan over to see him and ask for his advice."

After Chen Jinnian finished speaking, he directly sent him Cui Ming's contact information and continued, "His teaching ability is fine, but the downside is that the tuition is a bit expensive."

Talking about this, he had to say that dance training for art exams is really expensive. Let me put it this way, he trained one-on-one for six days at the Ditan Gymnasium. If this money was used for dance classes, it would barely be enough to cover the tuition for an afternoon, and that was for a small class.

Fang Yuan was a little confused. He had no idea about the charges for these trainings, so he asked about the specific price.

When he heard Wang Yidi say that the tuition fee for each class ranged from one thousand to fifteen hundred, he fell silent. He suddenly felt that his severance pay of two hundred thousand did not seem to be much.

After sending the two of them to the destination, Fang Yuan drove back in a hurry and did not even take the money that Chen Jinnian had transferred.

"Uncle Fang, what's wrong?" Wang Yidi said naively. She grew up in a very privileged family environment. Although she didn't have the problem of spending money indiscriminately, she didn't have much idea about this aspect.

"The price you mentioned is too high. He needs to take it slow."

After Chen Jinnian finished speaking, he took her into the store. After being guided by the clerk, they found the reserved private room. He thought he had arrived early, but he didn't expect that Deng Xiaoqi and the others had arrived even earlier.

Deng Xiaoqi didn't come alone, she brought two roommates with her. When she heard that a handsome guy invited her to dinner, who was even more handsome than her classmate Liu Haoran, she naturally came along.

When they saw Chen Jinnian come in, they looked at each other and said, "This Xiaoqi is not lying. He is quite handsome, but it's a pity that he is already taken."

They were all young people, and with Chen Jinnian deliberately creating an atmosphere, they soon started to communicate familiarly. He also learned from the conversation that the taller one was called Huang Ziqi and the one with a sweeter appearance was Ge Shimin.

Including Deng Xiaoqi sitting in the middle, the three girls all have a common feature, that is, a melon-shaped face with a three-dimensional and straight nose bridge. At first glance, they look somewhat similar.

"Sister Xiaoqi, the Central Academy of Drama is recruiting students now. Are they recruiting people like you?" Chen Jinnian asked.

"Yeah, our focus is drama performance after all, so the facial features need to be three-dimensional so that they can be seen clearly on the stage." Deng Xiaoqi put down his chopsticks and said.

Chen Jinnian looked at them and then at Wang Yidi. Although Wang Yidi's facial features were slightly inferior to his, he was more recognizable. He still thought his own was pretty.

"I see." He agreed.

Everyone ate and talked, discussing the differences between the Central Academy of Drama's entrance exam and the Beijing Film Academy's entrance exam. They also talked about the academic pressure at the Central Academy of Drama. As students, the topic they always talked about when they got together was complaining about the teachers and the school's abnormal rules.

For example, there can't be garbage in the trash can, no hair on the floor, and no one on the bed. These are the perverted rules that students will come up with when checking hygiene.

Sometimes Chen Jinnian couldn't tell the difference between the university student union and the underworld. They all wore suits and ties, and when they met them, they would bow and nod and call you brother or sister. They wouldn't look for you normally, but if they did, you would be in trouble.

There is still a long way to go in cracking down on gangsters and eliminating evil.

Looking at the table full of sumptuous dishes, Deng Xiaoqi asked, "It doesn't seem like you're only asking about the art exam."

Chen Jinnian's mouth corners curled up slightly.

"Yes, there's something else we need to talk about, a movie."
