Chapter Thirty-Six: Jiang You's News

  Lu Di didn't know what had happened to Jiang You's family in Xiangjiang. After parting with Meng Qi yesterday, he returned to school late at night.

  Ludie was alone in the dormitory, reading a book for a while, then continued to code and store drafts. He also chatted with book friends in the "parting" group. Ludie also decided that after the National Day holiday, he would start learning acting.

  On the internet, Lu Li's "The Legend of the Condor Hero" relies on its excellent writing and slowly unfolding plot to steadily increase its data. The editors at Gu Feng also gave their support, giving Lu Li all the recommendations they deserved.

  For many students, the days of vacation always pass very quickly, but the days at school seem to drag on like years. In fact, time is the same, and different attitudes produce different feelings.

  Ludi was living a life of studying and typing at school, and soon it was already October 7th, the last day of National Day holiday. Many students began to return to school one after another today.

  The first to return to the dormitory was Cao Jinping, whose home is in Huajing City, so he arrived relatively early. At dusk, Gao Mu and Wu Chuan also returned to the dormitory one after another, each bringing a laptop with them, so they wouldn't have to occupy Cao Jinping's computer to watch movies again. Lu Li's computer was used for writing at night, so the few people wouldn't occupy Lu Li's computer in the evening.

  After everyone arrived, they made an appointment to go out for dinner, under the name of not seeing each other for a long time and should have dinner together. Lu Li did not refuse either, as several people in the dormitory were very good brothers, and such activities did not need to be refused. Otherwise, after a long time, they would slowly drift apart, and Lu Li did not want to become a house man again.

  Lu Li, who was having dinner with his three brothers in the dormitory, did not know that his good brother Jiang You and his family had arrived in Huajing and were visiting Jiang Wei's former teacher.

  "Xiao Wei, you're doing quite well now, and you've even learned the unwritten rules." Jiang Wei's former teacher, Xiong Zhengxin, said with a hint of jest.

  Jiang You's dad, Jiang Wei, is also a fatty, but unlike Jiang You, Jiang Wei is a big fatty, while Jiang You is just a small fatty.

  Jiang Wei heard the teacher's words, although he knew it was a joke, but still somewhat awkwardly explained: "Teacher, I really don't have any ulterior motives. If I did something like that, I wouldn't even have the face to see you."

  "Alright, don't you think I know what kind of person you are? I know more about the entertainment industry than you do. Otherwise, how could I have stepped down to become a university professor?" By the end, Xiong Zhengxin also sighed, apparently disliking many things about the current state of the entertainment industry.

  "Hmm, it's good that the rumor has a hidden rule. Xiao Qing lives with me, otherwise I don't know how to explain it to her." Jiang Wei heard Xiong Zhengxin's words and gave a bitter smile as he looked at the beautiful woman sitting next to him.

  This beautiful woman is Hong Qing, Jiang You's mother. She was originally an actress in Xiangjiang and later fell in love with Jiang Wei during filming, after getting married she retired from the entertainment industry to become a virtuous wife and good mother.

  At this moment, Hong Qing heard Jiang Wei's words and showed a warm smile. At first, she had doubted Jiang Wei when she heard about the incident, but after seeing the time of the incident reported in the newspaper, she thought that Jiang Wei was with her all night, which dispelled her doubts. After listening to Jiang You's words, Hong Qing naturally dispelled all her doubts and came to Huajing with her husband to make plans for the future.

  "Haha, and fortunately your lifestyle is not a problem, otherwise I'd see you jump into the Yellow River and still can't wash it clean." Xiong Zhengxin heard Jiang Wei's words and also burst out laughing.

  He liked Jiang Wei a lot when he was in college, although he was fat and didn't look very good, but he was honest and down-to-earth, with many good qualities that others didn't have. Although Jiang Wei's achievements were not as good as those of his other students, Xiong Zhengxin still liked him more.

  "This is Jiang You, huh? He really looks like you." Xiong Zhengxin smiled for a while at Jiang Wei, then shifted his gaze to Jiang You.

  "Ah, this is my son Jiang You. I'm ashamed to say that even though he's grown up so much, it's still his first time meeting you, teacher. And this time, I... " Jiang Wei choked back tears as he spoke. He was extremely grateful to the teacher who had taken special care of him during university. However, just like Jiang Wei said, after working for so many years and having a child grow up so big, it's still his first visit to see the teacher, and only because he has an ulterior motive; otherwise, he probably wouldn't have come."

  "Alright, at your age, don't be like this. The entertainment industry is not easy to navigate, I know all about your difficulties, so I'm not bothered by these things. As long as you still remember me as your teacher, that's enough. Just like if you have something that needs help and you think of me, Teacher, and come find me, I'll be very happy. If you really need my help but don't come find me because of feelings of guilt, then I'll really scold you." Xiong Zhengxin knew what Jiang Wei was thinking and interrupted his words to say.

  How could he not know about Jiang Wei's efforts over the years? The entertainment industry is difficult to navigate, and Jiang Wei has been struggling to make a name for himself. He's always busy, even going a whole year without a single break. If it weren't for this incident, Jiang Wei probably wouldn't have had time to visit him even if he wanted to, so he still understands Jiang Wei's situation.

  "Hmm, you little stinker, come and pay your respects to your master's wife." Jiang Wei composed himself and shouted at the stunned Jiang You.

  "Master." Jiang You listened to Jiang Wei's words and obediently called out.

  "Hmm, Little Wei, if you can be like your former self, I wouldn't mind taking you as my personal disciple. However, for now, let's have you study and observe at the Huajing Film Academy for a while. The admission will be taken care of by me." Xiong Zhengxin said to Jiang Wei after hearing Jiang You's words.

  Jiang Wei was also stunned by these words, he didn't think his teacher would help him like this. Although it's said that Xiong Zhengxin is his teacher, which university professor hasn't taught hundreds or thousands of students? But the meaning of "personal disciple" that Xiong Zhengxin mentioned is different, that's a real master-disciple relationship.

  Moreover, Xiong Zhengxin is no longer in the entertainment industry now, but his connections in the industry are not to be underestimated. It's unknown how many directors in the circle were taught by Xiong Zhengxin back then. If Jiang You becomes Xiong Zhengxin's apprentice, when this title is revealed in the future, it's unknown how many people will give face. And if Xiong Zhengxin adds a sentence asking someone to help pave the way, Jiang You's path will be even smoother. This is much stronger than bringing Jiang You himself.

  "Why don't you also come to Huajing Film Academy, help me out. You're someone who has actually shot a lot of films, I believe teaching some students will be more than enough." Before Jiang Wei could recover from his excitement, Xiong Zhengxin said again.

  "Teacher, I'd rather not. Although not many people know about my situation in mainland China, there must be someone who knows. If it gets out, it will harm the reputation of Hua Jing Film Academy." Jiang Wei was also tempted by this proposal, but after thinking about it, he refused.

  Although Xiong Zhengxin is the vice president of Huaying Film Academy, if he himself becomes a rule-breaking director and teaches at school, it will not have a good impact on Huaying Film Academy or Xiong Zhengxin, so he wisely refused.

  Xiong Zhengxin heard Li Wei's words and considered them for a moment. Indeed, that was the case, so he didn't say anything else and instead asked: "What do you plan to do then?"

  "I'll go help out at Long Shixiong's place, and later when Jiang You comes out, I'll just help my son then." Jiang Wei smiled upon hearing this, clearly having already made up his mind.

  The "Dragon Brother" in Jiang Wei's mouth is called Long Jianming, who was a student of the previous session and one of Xiong Zhengxin's favorite students. During school days, he took good care of Jiang Wei, and even though he was very busy with work, they still kept in touch. When he heard about Jiang Wei's situation this time, Long Jianming immediately called to comfort him, and then invited Jiang Wei to go to his place to help out.

  "You said Jianming, yes, Jianming is also a good person, he won't treat you unfairly, it's not bad to go help him." Xiong Zhengxin nodded after hearing Jiang Wei's words.

  Then several people chatted together for a while.

  After dinner, Jiang You and his family of three left Xiong Zhengxin's home and temporarily stayed in a hotel.

  After entering the hotel room he had booked, Jiang You took out his mobile phone and made a call to Lu Li.

  Lu Li and a few others were in their dormitory after dinner. Lu Li was typing away, while the other three were playing on their own computers.

  Hearing the ringtone of his mobile phone, Lu Li picked it up and saw that it was Jiang You calling, so he quickly answered: "Soy sauce, why did you suddenly think of calling me?"

  "Hmph, Lizi, you've really made a mess of things this time. Tell me how you plan to make it up to me." Jiang You heard Lu Li's words and was furious, what kind of nonsense is this? How dare he call me after all this time without even contacting me once before, and still has the nerve to talk like that.

  "I've wronged you, how have I wronged you?" Lu Li heard Jiang You's words but was perplexed, not knowing what he had done.

  "Never mind, it's hard to explain for the time being. I'm in Beijing now, when do you have time? Let's make an appointment to meet up sometime." Jiang You said finally.

  "Ah, you're in Hua Jing? Alright then, let's get together over the weekend and I'll give Meng Qi a call to join us." Lu Li found it somewhat strange that Jiang You was in Hua Jing, but after thinking about it, she agreed to meet up with him over the weekend. After all, they had been pretty close since high school.

  "Alright, see you this weekend." Jiang You hung up the phone after saying that. He had to go to Huajing Film Academy for reporting and to complete some formalities tomorrow, so it was naturally good to sleep early tonight.

  After hanging up the phone, Lu Li didn't continue typing and instead called Meng Qi to make an appointment before washing up and going to sleep.
