At the school entrance, as Jiang Ling’er stepped out of the car, Little Six approached her.

Little Six greeted her, “Good morning, Jiang Ling’er.”

Jiang Ling’er was pleasantly surprised and replied, “Good morning, Little Six senior. Did you just arrive too?”

As they walked toward the school, Little Six shook his head and somewhat awkwardly said, “1 waited for you on purpose. So, have you thought about what we discussed yesterday? Did your grandfather agree?”

Jiang Ling’er was taken aback but then smiled and said, “It’s quite a coincidence that I talked to my grandfather about it during breakfast. He initially thought 1 was being misled but eventually agreed to let me give it a try. Now it depends on whether I succeed.”

Little Six was excited and said, “Really? I’ll talk to my brother now and see if he can arrange for you to pass the audition in advance.”

He immediately took out his phone.

Jiang Ling’er tried to stop him, but the call was already connected.

“Brother, Jiang Ling’er agreed.”

Chen Yizhou asked, “Really?”

Little Six confidently responded, “Of course. I made my move; how could 1 fail?”

After a brief conversation, they hung up, and Little Six turned to Jiang Ling’er, saying, “Ling’er, we’ll go for the screen test at 2 o’clock this afternoon, and then you can discuss the contract with my brother.”

Jiang Ling’er was a little surprised and apprehensive, “Really? Isn’t that too fast? I haven’t even auditioned yet. Discussing a contract already seems a bit early.”

Little Six laughed, agreeing that it was quite hasty, but his brother had already decided, and he believed that his brother wouldn’t make a wrong choice.

Little Six reassured her, saying, “You can trust my brother. He’ll handle it personally, and there won’t be any problems. If you don’t believe me, at least trust the CEO of Chen Group.”

Jiang Ling’er waved her hand, feeling awkward, and said, “It’s not that I don’t trust him, but I just feel like it’s happening too fast.”

Little Six chuckled and said, “That’s just how my brother operates, he’s always decisive. 1 believe he won’t make a wrong choice. Be more confident in yourself.”

Jiang Ling’er still felt a bit uncomfortable. It wasn’t that she lacked confidence, but without an audition, why was Chen Yizhou so sure that she’d be able to do a good job?

But then again, since Chen Yizhou was giving her so much face, Jiang Ling’er would not cower.

“Alright, 1 got it. I’wo o’clock in the afternoon, right?” Jiang Ling’er replied.

Little Six nodded and said, “Yes, that’s right. We both have classes now. After lunch, I’ll come find you, and we’ll go together. Is that okay?”

Jiang Ling’er agreed with a nod. She was still somewhat dazed, but the Chen Group endorsement opportunity seemed almost within her grasp.

As she entered the classroom, Jiang Ling’er didn’t see Wen Nuan. She couldn’t help but worry. After all, yesterday’s quarrel had left a sour atmosphere. She wondered how Wen Nuan had been doing with her grandfather.

Jiang Ling’er pondered these thoughts while taking her textbooks out of her bag.

After a while, the morning self-study sessions began.

Jiang Ling’er opened her book, “The Actor’s Self-Cultivation” and pretended to read it, but in reality, she wanted to send a message to Wen Nuan.

Just as she was thinking of sending a message, her phone vibrated, and she quickly checked it. It was a call from Wen Mo. Jiang Ling’er immediately stepped out to answer.

Jiang Ling’er said, “Hi, Wen Mo.”

Wen Mo asked, “Ling Er, my grandpa is waiting for you at the sports field. Can you come over?”

Jiang Ling’er was quite puzzled but agreed, saying, “Sure, I’ll come right now.”

She walked to the sports field, wondering what Wen Mo’s grandfather wanted to discuss. Was it another warning to stay away from Wen Nuan?

Soon, Jiang Ling’er spotted Wen Mo and his grandfather engaged in a conversation. She was unsure about how to address them.

Before she could decide, Wen Mo gestured for her to approach.

Jiang Ling’er took a deep breath and walked over.

Wen Mo greeted her, “Ling’er, you’re here.”

Jiang Ling’er replied politely, “Hello, Old Master Wen and Mr. Wen Mo.”

However, her choice of words seemed to distance her from Wen Mo.

He frowned in discomfort because he knew her demeanor was influenced by his grandfather. But Wen Mo didn’t like being kept at arm’s length.

Wen Mo suggested, “No need for ‘Mr. Wen Mo,’ just call me ‘Wen Mo.’”

Jiang Ling’er adjusted her tone and said, “Wen Mo.”

Wen Mo playfully ruffled her hair and said affectionately, “You’re so obedient. I don’t want us to be distant.”

Jiang Ling’er felt a bit awkward but didn’t want to upset Wen Mo over the matter.

Wen Mo’s grandfather, observing this exchange, furrowed his brows. He wondered if Wen Mo had feelings for this girl from the Jiang family, and he had never seen him act so tenderly with any other girl besides Wen Nuan.

Clearing his throat, Wen Mo’s grandfather said, “Wen Mo, I’d like to have a private conversation with Miss Jiang. Could you please step away for a moment, and I’ll call you back shortly..”
