A gate with a dignified classical design stood across Li An and Qin Kai. A pair of majestic stone lions stood flanking the gates. At a glance, it felt as though they had transmigrated into ancient times.
Everyone in the country knew about Eminent Senior High.
The school had a millennium worth of history. A lot of top scholars hailed from the school in ancient times. It continued to flourish throughout history and had the best teachers and resources. The top scholar from the country came from this school every year without fail.
Since it was a highly revered school, everyone wanted to get in. Sadly, they only accepted 500 students each year.
Li Ming was the Li family’s favorite, so they did their utmost to get him a spot here, but they ended up failing. It was clear how hard it was to get in.
The students who attended the school were either geniuses or immensely powerful.
Li An thought about himself.
Was he a genius? Absolutely not. His older brother was born a genius and he had stolen all the good DNA in the family.
As for power, they had none to speak of. The Li family was a pretty decent elite family, but they were unable to send Li Ming here. How could his older brother pull this off?
Why did Qin Kai bring him here?
Qin Kai smiled when he saw the puzzled look on Li An’s face. “This is the right place. From now on, you will be attending school here.”
“Kai, maybe you aren’t so sure about the situation in the country since you just came back. Let me tell you more,” said Li An as he started to tell Qin Kai about the legendary Eminent Senior High.
Before he finished telling Qin Kai about the school, a kind-looking grey-haired old man came over and reached his hand out at Qin Kai. “Mr. Qin, how do you do?”
Li An opened his eyes wide. This elderly man looked just like Eminent Senior High’s principal! Li An had often seen the man’s face in his textbooks.
“Good morning, Mr. Chen.” Qin Kai shook hands with Chen Wei politely before he introduced Li An. “This is Li An. Li An, say hi to the principal.”
Li An was stunned, but he automatically greeted Chen Wei.
Chen Wei scrutinized Li An before he smiled genially. “Sure enough, he is a nice kid.”
What did Chen Wei mean by nice? Chen Wei did not continue talking. Instead, he patted Li An on the shoulder. “Come on. Let’s go in.”
Qin Kai nodded to Li An. Li An followed behind the principal in a daze as he entered the school cautiously.
Li An sat in class looking at Eminent Senior High’s logo on the table. Li An found it inconceivable that he was in here. After much thought, he felt there was only one reason he could attend this high school.
Someone must have found out he was actually a hidden genius.
Perhaps his intelligence was previously hidden for some reason. In reality, he was as intelligent as Einstein. Eminent Senior High must have discovered his hidden intelligence and invited him to join the school with the intention of grooming him.
Perhaps in three years, he would graduate as a top scholar. On the day of his graduation, he might even get paraded around as a part of the celebration. From then on, he would win countless Nobel prizes, marry the woman of his dreams, and rise to the pinnacle of success.
Li An smiled as he contemplated.
The teacher on the podium caught sight of this new student smiling happily. The teacher smiled as he nodded. He was going through a Math question, so he pointed at Li An. “Why don’t you solve this question?”
Li An stood up thinking about becoming the top scholar and looked at the question confidently.
He looked at the question again and again.
Oh god! What kind of school was he in? Why was he unable to understand the Math question? How could he solve it? It was impossible!
The Math class completely dashed all Li An’s hopes of winning any Nobel prize.
Li Hanchen and Mu Sheng were on their way to the film location when Li An was halfway through his first period.
“I can operate on you in a week.” Mu Sheng leaned into the seat lazily. “You are recovering well.”
Li Hanchen obediently abided by all her instructions, so she was very pleased.
“Okay.” The light was red, so Li Hanchen turned his head sideways. “What else do I have to do?”
“That’s all.” Mu Sheng moved her lips and Li Hanchen promptly handed her a cup of water.
Mu Sheng glanced at Li Hanchen. It was clear she was wondering if Li Hanchen was a mind reader. Li Hanchen had been able to read her mind with increasing accuracy of late.
The light turned green, so Li Hanchen placed the cup in Mu Sheng’s hand before he turned to drive. “Isn’t it normal for you to want a drink since you just had some candy?”
“I see.” Mu Sheng promptly bought what Li Hanchen said. She opened the cup and drank small sips of water as she looked at Li Hanchen with a smile on her face.
Other than Tang Tiantian, Jiang Tian was waiting at the film location entrance.
Although Jiang Tian was the boss, Mu Sheng was his only artist. Since he had nothing to do in the office, he decided to come over and watch Mu Sheng’s film.
“Hi, Tian,” greeted Tang Tiantian as usual. In a second, she was suddenly shocked. “Tian? What are you doing here?”
Jiang Tian frowned quizzically. “Why can’t I come?”
Tang Tiantian felt worried. Now that Jiang Tian was here, he would probably find out Mu Sheng had a boyfriend.
This won’t do!
She could not let Jiang Tian learn of this!
Tang Tiantian hurriedly said, “There is nothing wrong. Since you are the GM, you should stay in the office and manage the business. You didn’t need to come all the way here.”
Jiang Tian looked at her like she was an idiot. “What are you driving at?”
Tang Tiantian chuckled and said, “I did overtime last night and didn’t have the chance to have breakfast this morning. Do you mind running over to the mart to get me some bread? I would really appreciate it!”
Jiang Tian pursed his lips in contempt. “Fine. Since I am a thoughtful superior, I will do you the favor.”
The moment he finished his sentence, Jiang Tian headed over to the mart. A few steps later, a black Toyota drove over.
Jiang Tian glanced at the car before he was caught by surprise.
Mu Sheng was simply too gorgeous. Even through the glass windows, she looked radiant. Also, a man was driving the car.
Jiang Tian halted in his steps. Tang Tiantian promptly looked up into the sky and sighed anxiously. Mu Sheng was done for.
“I am going to the set,” said Mu Sheng as she undid her seat belt and looked into Li Hanchen’s coat pocket.
Li Hanchen pulled it open a little. “Help yourself.”
Mu Sheng reached her hand in and picked five or six of her favorite flavors before getting off the car.
Jiang Tian kept looking at Li Hanchen, but Li Hanchen only had eyes for Mu Sheng.
After Mu Sheng got off the car, Li Hanchen finally glanced at Jiang Tian. Li Hanchen looked up slightly with his deep eyes. He gave off a powerful aura as he looked at Jiang Tian loftily even though he was seated in the car.
Jiang Tian raised his brow when he sensed the man’s powerful aura.
“Tian, let’s go!” Tang Tiantian pulled Jiang Tian’s sleeve. She was worried that Jiang Tian might get into a fight with Mu Sheng’s boyfriend. “Sheng has already left.”
“Got it.” Li Hanchen had already driven off, so Jiang Tian frowned as he veered his eyes. “Tang Tiantian, you have better come clean. Did you already know that Mu Sheng is seeing someone?”
There was a clause in the contract stating artists were forbidden from dating when they were starting out.
“Tian, that was just the driver. You were mistaken. How could she be dating?” Tang Tiantian blinked innocently and tried to get away with it.
Jiang Tian touched his chin as he looked at the Toyota pensively while it drove into the distance. “Go and buy some luxury product magazines.”
“Sure.” Tang Tiantian did not think anything of his reaction. Instead, she went over to the newspaper stand and came back with a few magazines. “Tian, why do you want these?”
“For brainwashing.”
“Huh?” Tang Tiantian was at a loss. Since Jiang Tian had already walked into the set, she could only follow behind him.
Mu Sheng did not have a busy schedule today. She spent most of the day waiting as she chatted with Jiang Tian randomly.
“Sheng, look at this jewelry? Doesn’t it look great? It costs $50 million. You can buy as much jewelry as you want after you become a hit.”
“Check out this watch. It is worth $30 million and it has flawless workmanship! When you become a hit, you can buy it without a second thought!”
“Also, what do you think of these male models? Aren’t they hot? After you become a superstar, I can make arrangements for you to shoot ads with hot models just like them. You can have your pick.”
Mu Sheng was a little annoyed by Jiang Tian’s incessant small talk. She glanced at him before she said, “What are you trying to say?”
Jiang Tian cleared his throat as he touched the back of his head awkwardly. “I was trying to say that before you become a hit, you shouldn’t get involved with some pretty boy. You have to focus on becoming a superstar and making loads of money.”
In Jiang Tian’s opinion, the pretty boy had seduced Mu Sheng with his good looks.
Mu Sheng was confused. She thought about the terms of the contract and finally realized what Jiang Tian was trying to say. Li Hanchen was probably the pretty boy Jiang Tian was talking about. She leaned back into her seat and took her hat off. “I am not dating anyone. You are mistaken.”
Jiang Tian looked at Mu Sheng quizzically. “Really?”
“Uh huh.”
Mu Sheng sounded somewhat impatient, so Jiang Tian felt hesitant about asking. Instead, he said, “Fine. In that case, I will trust you this once. Don’t worry. When you become a hit, you can take your pick of any hunk out there!”
“Don’t block the sun,” said Mu Sheng mildly. She was not interested in guys, so she did not take what he said to heart.
“Sure thing.” Jiang Tian promptly gave way.
Tang Tiantian came over with the script and happened to bump into Jiang Tian. “Tian, did you just tell her about it bluntly?”
Jiang Tian raised his brow. “That goes without saying. I am the GM. Do you think I am just some decoration? I scolded her about it severely. She admitted to her mistake and agreed to break up with him.”
Tang Tiantian went speechless before she chuckled. For some reason, she did not buy it.
