Chapter 80: Teacher Wen Is Really Adorable 

After listening to Ruan Jinghong's response, Shen Yun pondered for a moment and said, 

"Here's what we'll do. Take these three scripts back and carefully review them. The auditions for these three dramas are scheduled for next week, and the timing is staggered.

"The production teams didn't invite only you, so choose the role you like and start preparing. You can give me the final answer in a couple of days, and it will still be fine."

Shen Yun was concerned that Ruan Jinghong might change her mind later on.

Such situations had occurred before when she was managing artists. One moment they liked one thing, and the next moment they liked something else.

To give the artists the maximum autonomy while avoiding unnecessary workload, she usually allowed them to make a final decision at the last moment.

Ruan Jinghong understood Shen Yun's caution and obediently put away the three scripts.

After chatting for a while, they discussed Ruan Jinghong's work plans for the upcoming period.

Apart from the scripts, there were also some advertising opportunities that had come knocking recently, but most of them were for various micro-business products.

She could just record a short video and post it on Weibo, and the advertising fees were quite decent. However, the quality of the products was unknown.

At this time, those who approached her were mostly looking to capitalize on Ruan Jinghong's recent surge in popularity and make some quick money.

Ruan Jinghong often goes online and is aware that there is a considerable chance of low-quality issues with these micro-business products. She expressed her desire not to deceive her fans and audience due to their trust in her.

Shen Yun respected her opinion, recognizing that she is currently in a crucial period, and it's important to cherish feathers.

Netizens can elevate you to the sky today, but they can trample you to the ground tomorrow.

It's best to steer clear of risky projects.

Ruan Jinghong saw Shen Yun's prompt agreement and felt a sense of guilt in her heart.

An agent's performance is closely tied to an artist's earnings. Shen Yun diligently connects resources for her own artists day and night but never forces them to take on money-making projects they're not willing to do.

As a result, despite her hard work, she has the lowest performance among all the agents in the company.

"Sister Yun, I think I can take on this Rainbow Candy advertisement. I used to eat this candy when I was young, and it was quite delicious."

Shen Yun followed Ruan Jinghong's pointed finger and looked at the introduction of the Sweetheart Rainbow Candy advertisement project, nodding in agreement.

"Well, it's an established brand. However, the client has certain requirements. During the ad shoot, you'll have to wear a cat mascot costume for most of the time. Moreover, you'll need to dance and perform various tricks, making it one of the most challenging shoots. Are you sure you want to take it on?"

"I'm sure," Ruan Jinghong nodded earnestly. Among the pile of advertisement invitations, Rainbow Candy seemed to be the safest and most reliable option. Even though the shoot might be more physically demanding than acting, she has already experienced the hardships of filming.

After discussing all the work with Shen Yun, it was already past lunchtime.

The Rainbow Candy advertisement shoot was scheduled for tomorrow in the H City. The props were ready; they just needed people.

Considering that she had upcoming auditions in a few days, Shen Yun didn't assign any other work to Ruan Jinghong for now and asked her to go home and prepare.

Ruan Jinghong packed a bowl of plain noodle soup to save time and returned to her apartment. Just as she was about to start eating, she received a WeChat message.

Teacher Wen: Ruanruan, did you have a good lunch?

Wen Jin temporarily had no intention of voluntarily revealing her real name, so she used "Ruanruan" instead of "Ruan Jinghong," showing her meticulousness.

Ruan Jinghong heard the notification sound of the message as soon as it arrived. The night before, she inexplicably took out her phone before going to bed and set Wen Jin's WeChat as "Priority."

Wen Jin rarely sent her messages before, and she thought her action was unnecessary, but she couldn't help but feel happy about it.

Unexpectedly, this setting came in handy so quickly.

Ruan Jinghong read the short message several times.

She opened the lid of the noodle box and took several photos of the noodles. After selecting the most pleasing one, she added a layer of filter and sent it.

"Just about to eat, having this for lunch."

Soon, Wen Jin sent a photo back—a delicately packaged boxed meal.

Ruan Jinghong carefully examined the photo, observing the balanced mix of meat and vegetables. The background seemed to be an office setting.

She was about to type a reply when she received a video call invitation.

It was from Wen Jin.

Ruan Jinghong pressed the answer button and held the phone in front of her, seeing a cool and beautiful face through the screen.

Facing the unexpectedly sudden video call, Ruan Jinghong felt slightly more nervous than when she had face-to-face conversations with Wen Jin in their usual interactions.

She pursed her lips, looking obedient like an elementary school student listening to a lecture, but her tone revealed a hint of happiness.

"Teacher Wen, are you having lunch at this time too?"

"Mm, just finished a meeting. Ruanruan, please prop your phone up vertically. Don't starve, eat and chat at the same time."

Wen Jin appeared somewhat tired, but her tone of speech was gentle as if it carried a hint of tenderness.

She placed her phone on the stand of her office desk and took out her chopsticks to pick out the cilantro from the boxed meal, one stalk at a time.

Ruan Jinghong, with her keen eyes, naturally noticed this action.

"Teacher Wen, don't you eat cilantro? Didn't you tell me before that you have no taboo?"

Wen Jin didn't expect to reveal her preference within seconds of the first video call.

She remained silent for two seconds, continued to pick out the remaining cilantro, and then casually said, as if nothing happened.

"Yes, I don't have taboo, except when it comes to cilantro."

Ruan Jinghong: Pfft.

What's the big deal about having a preference? Yet she still puts on such a serious appearance. Teacher Wen is really adorable.

Seeing the small smile at the corner of Ruan Jinghong's mouth on the screen, Wen Jin felt slightly annoyed.

Xiao Yuan was only gone for an hour, and someone had to deliver a boxed meal with cilantro. How annoying!

Ruan Jinghong noticed that Wen Jin seemed a bit unhappy while staring at the screen, so she didn't dare to laugh too much.

She picked up her own noodle soup and took a sip, comforting her.

"Actually, I have a preference too. I don't really like garlic, so you'll notice that I never use garlic when I cook."

Hearing that Ruan Jinghong also had a preference, Wen Jin felt a subtle sense of balance in her heart, and the slight discomfort from earlier quickly dissipated.

Only then did she remember that it was almost two o'clock now, and she had been delayed by the meeting. But why is this little thing eating so late?

With this doubt in her mind, she directly asked.

Ruan Jinghong wiped her mouth with a tissue and briefly mentioned the script selection for today. She also shared the news that she would be going for an audition with a film crew next week.

After listening, Wen Jin didn't comment on the script but asked: "Ruanruan, will you be rehearsing at home today?"

Ruan Jinghong obediently replied, "Mm, I have a tight schedule ahead. Besides shooting an advertisement tomorrow, I'll probably be at home studying the script for the rest of the time."

In the latter half of her sentence, she sounded a bit guilty. Just yesterday, Wen Jin confessed her feelings and expressed her intention to formally pursue her. And now, because of her busy work, she was going to leave Wen Jin on the side.

At this moment, Ruan Jinghong had no awareness of why someone being pursued would feel guilty towards the suitor.

Wen Jin didn't show any signs of disappointment. She stared at the phone screen with her beautiful eyes that seemed to speak.

"Ruanruan, you can do it. You'll definitely get into the film crew you desire."

Both of them had things to attend to, so after a brief lunch break, they ended the video call.

Ruan Jinghong tidied up a bit and quickly immersed herself in preparation.

Compared to acting, the Rainbow Candy advertisement that will start shooting tomorrow is more urgent.

This advertisement requires her to wear a heavy doll suit and perform a hand dance.

Dancing is not a difficult task for Ruan Jinghong, but it's the weight of the heavy doll suit...

To get a feel for it, Ruan Jinghong found an old unused quilt, cut it into the shape of a jacket, and made a simple headpiece for herself.

The weight was not enough, so she opened the zipper of the cover and took out the cotton from the cut corners of the quilt, stuffing it all into her homemade jacket and headpiece.

Ruan Jinghong spent half an hour completing this laborious task.

She picked up her homemade colorful jacket and examined it.

The appearance was a bit strange, but the sensation of wearing it with the added weight should be similar..

So she put on her homemade jacket and headpiece, turned on the TV to project a basic hand dance, watched it once, and started dancing along.

It must be said that the feeling of dancing with a light body and dancing with added weight are completely different.

The movements that originally seemed very simple became extremely awkward due to the hindrance of the thick jacket.

This state is not suitable for shooting tomorrow's advertisement.

Ruan Jinghong deconstructed each movement, made several adjustments, and rehearsed for a full three hours before finally adapting to the weight on her body.

Finally, she could smoothly perform a dance with the added weight of several tens of kilograms.

Ruan Jinghong took off her homemade jacket, wiped the sweat off her forehead, and went to the bathroom to wash away the heat from her body.

When they finished blow-drying her hair and returned to the living room, she heard her phone ringing incessantly.

Ruan Jinghong answered the call and a familiar, cold voice came from the phone.

"I'm at your door."

Teacher Wen?

Ruan Jinghong hurriedly ran to the entrance and looked outside through the peephole.

Indeed, it was that elegant and tall figure. The person held a sealed bag identical to last night's and a food container in the other hand.

Ruan Jinghong quickly opened the door, "Teacher Wen, why are you here?"

"Not welcome?" Wen Jin wore a seductive smile on her face and asked knowingly.

"No, no, Teacher Wen is always welcome. I'm just surprised."

To prove the credibility of her statement, Ruan Jinghong took the initiative to welcome her into the house.

"Did Teacher Wen come all the way here to find me for something?"

Ruan Jinghong arranged the slippers at the entrance and took the sealed bag and food container from Wen Jin's hand, placing them on the sofa and coffee table, respectively.

Wen Jin changed into slippers and looked at Ruan Jinghong, lips curling up. "Can't I come to see you if there's no specific reason?"

"No, no." 

Ruan Jinghong wished she could slap herself. Can't she speak properly?

Wen Jin didn't intentionally make things difficult for her and sat down on the sofa.

"After finishing up the company's affairs during the day, I figured Ruanruan must have been busy all afternoon. She probably didn't have time to eat, so I brought some food for you."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Jinghong looked at Wen Jin's smiling face and couldn't help blinking several times.

Teacher Wen is so busy, did she come all the way here just to bring me food?

Whenever Wen Jin saw Ruan Jinghong's dumbfounded expression, she couldn't help but reach out and ruffle her hair.

"Why are you standing there? Aren't you going to get some bowls and chopsticks?"

"Oh, right." Ruan Jinghong snapped back to reality and turned to run to the kitchen.

In front of Wen Jin, she always seemed a bit slow-witted.

Ruan Jinghong returned to the living room with bowls and chopsticks, serving the dishes from the compartmentalized food container.

The container was insulated, and the food was still steaming, so there was no need to bother reheating it.

The dishes in the container were ordinary home-cooked dishes, but they were exquisitely presented and smelled delicious—a level of care that was hard to find in ordinary restaurants.

Ruan Jinghong portioned out the rice for both of them to share.

As she ate, she couldn't help but marvel, "The chef at this restaurant is so attentive. Where did you buy it, Teacher Wen?"

"If Xiao Yuan knew that you praised her cooking like this, she would be very happy."

Wen Jin had a pleasant expression, chewing rice while paying attention to the little thing beside her and her preferences for different dishes.

Ruan Jinghong was taken aback at the words: So it was Sister Xiao Yuan's cooking. Even though Teacher Wen was just an assistant by her side, she could both drive and excel in cooking. Such versatility!

Teacher Wen is amazing!

After dinner, Ruan Jinghong went to wash the dishes. When she returned to the living room, she saw Wen Jin still sitting on the sofa, looking at messages on her phone. A small sense of delight rose in her heart.

It's great that Teacher Wen is still here.

Wen Jin had sharp ears, and even from several meters away, she heard the movement. In almost a second, she put away her phone and beckoned Ruan Jinghong to sit beside her.

In front of Wen Jin, Ruan Jinghong was always obedient.

She sat on the fabric sofa, tilting her face up, allowing Wen Jin to rub her head. She looked at Wen Jin's beautiful lips gently parting.

"Ruanruan, you said you took three scripts home to read at noon. Can I see the scripts?"
