Ding Ruola still felt uncomfortable deep down. She just didn't want to waste her precious time arguing with a bunch of "trash".
Her magnanimity was just to squeeze out more time for study.
Once people get busy, they always lose track of time.
She was still studying in the library in the morning. If it weren't for the reminder set in her memo in advance, Ding Ruola would have forgotten about today's date.
She tidied up her books and left them in the school's self - study room, thinking that she would take them back when she came back at night.
Fortunately, she remembered in time. She didn't stint on a little money and took a taxi there.
She arrived half an hour earlier than the appointed time. The coffee shop was still crowded at this time. Although there was no foreign cultural background here, people had developed the foreign lifestyle.
It was the time for afternoon tea. Ding Ruola ordered the cake that Little Tuanzi liked the most at the right time.
She remembered that last time, Song Yan kept adding sugar to her latte when she drank it. So this time, Ding Ruola ordered a cappuccino for Song Yan.
When Song Yan came in with Little Tuanzi, the clerk immediately served the things Ding Ruola had ordered.
Seeing the food on the table, Song Yan curled up the corners of her mouth, her lips forming a beautiful smile. She really thought this little girl was nice. Not only was she good - looking, but she was also considerate in her actions.
Little Tuanzi took two bites of the cake, then opened the SpongeBob SquarePants backpack on her back, took out a notebook, flipped back a few pages, and started drawing design drafts again.
Ding Ruola glanced at Little Tuanzi and felt that the lines and color matching this time had reached a higher level.
"This child is just a bit withdrawn, but it's okay like this."
There was all kinds of doting in Song Yan's eyes. Her gentle gaze fell on Little Tuanzi's face.
"I think it's great."
The two started chatting about Little Tuanzi. Then Ding Ruola mentioned the situation of Song Yan's company.
Song Yan originally didn't want to disclose it, but thinking that the person sitting in front of her was Ding Ruola, she felt much more at ease.
The company needed new blood. Although they had relied on those veteran actors or acting masters to gain the audience's favor before, there was still a part of the market where they hadn't established a foothold.
Most importantly, the consumption ability of middle - aged and elderly people and teenagers in the entertainment field was different.
Just like there were very few people voting for Jay Chou, while that little fresh meat surnamed C ended up being the number one on the music chart.
This incident was enough to show that the fan market's adhesiveness and consumption ability of veteran actors were not as good as those of little fresh meats or young and excellent actors.
Any actor with a professional acting background who caught Song Yan's eye was sent to be an actor. They needed an idol.
An idol - a unique role model.
Song Yan was very anxious. Most of the professional - background actors already had a certain reputation. What she wanted was an all - round amateur.
Ding Ruola found it incredible. "Won't the initial investment be very large like this?"
Song Yan shook her head. "We won't show the initial investment. We just need to make everyone believe..."
She took a deep breath and leaned closer to Ding Ruola.
"Believe! The national idol."
This wasn't just creating a star; it was creating a dream.
Ding Ruola had to be convinced by these capitalists! She took a sip of her drink and then turned to adjust Little Tuanzi's design draft.
"It's about time. I'll take you back while it's still light."
Naturally, Ding Ruola wouldn't refuse Song Yan's kindness.
"Do you stay at school on Sundays?"
Song Yan thought this girl must be crazy about studying. She was already such an excellent girl, but she still worked so hard. Was it because her marriage was unhappy and she wanted to get rid of Fang Siyan?
Of course, these were just thoughts in Song Yan's mind. She wasn't stupid enough to say them out and annoy others.
After Ding Ruola got off the car, she checked the time. It was already 8 p.m. The self - study room closed at 9:30 p.m. She still had more than an hour to study if she went there now.
There was no time to lose. Every moment counted.
When she remembered to leave the self - study room, she checked the time. It was already 9:40. She immediately packed up her books and prepared to go out.
Suddenly, the lights in the self - study room went out. It should be the administrator who turned off the lights on this floor.
Ding Ruola became even more flustered. Once the lights were off, the next step would be to lock the building door. She couldn't be so unlucky as to spend the night in the self - study room, could she?
Study is precious, but sleep is more so!
She turned on the flashlight on her phone and shouted at the top of her voice for the security guard. Fortunately, the security guard heard her. Otherwise, she would really have had to spend the night in the self - study room.
However, she wasn't very lucky either. When running out, she tripped over the fire - fighting equipment at the corner of the corridor, and her knee was scratched. It wasn't a serious wound.
"Dingding! I really thought you weren't coming back!"
Bi Shuang was standing by the stairs to the upper bunk, watching Ding Ruola organize her notes and then take pictures of them one by one with her phone.
"Talk to me tomorrow."
This was Ding Ruola's usual routine. She could even forget to talk when she was busy.
Bi Shuang didn't try to make herself unwelcome. She went back to her seat, opened League of Legends, and asked Li Yan to play Teamfight Tactics with her.
Ding Ruola, who was seriously preparing for the exam, didn't notice Bi Shuang's shrill screams at all.
"Dingding, my Yasuo is in the finals!"
Seeing Ding Ruola washing up, Bi Shuang thought this was a good time to have a good chat with her little bestie. She didn't expect the other person to still ignore her.
It wasn't until after the lights were out that Ding Ruola was still looking at her phone intently.
Bi Shuang finally understood that Ding Ruola had been busy taking pictures of her notes just so she could look at them after the lights were out.
If Ding Ruola couldn't sleep, Bi Shuang naturally couldn't sleep soundly either. She would lie down for a while and then look at Ding Ruola.
Sure enough, Ding Ruola fell asleep holding her phone.
Ding Ruola didn't have a good sleeping posture at night. When she got up the next morning, she felt that her arms and neck didn't belong to her anymore.
She got out of bed, washed up, had breakfast, and then went back to the classroom to prepare for today's exam.
The students came to school earlier than usual today in order to get a good seat. Many people came and sat at the back of the classroom or by the wall after they arrived.
For Ding Ruola, who never cheated, it didn't matter where she sat to do the test paper.
Su Man was the last one to come. She came into the classroom with the teacher.
Song He stood on the podium, coughed lightly, and then asked Su Man and the student sitting in the front to distribute the test papers.
The person in front of him was Ding Ruola. He reluctantly handed the test paper to Ding Ruola.
Ding Ruola and Su Man each distributed the test papers to half of the classroom.
She returned to her seat, spread out the test paper, and saw that there were no multiple - choice questions that one could rely on luck for. Most of them were fill - in - the - blank and calculation questions.
The moment she saw the questions, she was shocked by the amount. But when she actually started to do them, she found that they weren't as difficult as she had imagined.
After the exam was over, Song He asked Su Man to take the test papers back to his office and put them there.
Naturally, Ding Ruola wouldn't interfere in this matter. Just as she walked out of the classroom, she received a call from Fang Siyan.
