Chapter 893: Chapter 875: Accompanying Huo Feng to the Audition! (Part 1)
You Xinran’s so-called effective circle of friends is probably those with whom she can connect interests, mutual benefit type of friends.
Entering university essentially means stepping halfway into society.
The university social circle is quite different from that in high school...
Actually, many people feel that college friends and roommates don’t seem as close as high school classmates.
In this semi-mature social class, people’s hearts somewhat carry complexity and desire.
You Xinran, however, directly speaks this truthful fact.
What she means is seemingly pointed out the points in Huo Feng that she can exploit, and she wants to make use of them...
And in this cycle, Huo Feng’s rise to fame is indeed due to her considerable efforts.
The mutual assistance she spoke of... probably so!
Anyway, Huo Feng agreed to her request.
You Xinran didn’t say much more after mentioning the matter, possibly due to Pu Sangzhi’s presence.
Anyway, once the matter was said, she left...
Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng watched her leave, in the biting wind, You Xinran jogged away, gradually disappearing from their sight.
Only after Xinran’s figure completely disappeared did Pu Sangzhi speak to Huo Feng, "You didn’t even succeed in the audition yourself, how are you going to ask for her? Won’t that incur a favor?"
"Owe a favor to whom? To Director Lu?"
Huo Feng turned around and plopped down on Pu Sangzhi’s bike’s rear seat, immediately responding in a lively tone, "I think, since I’m not familiar with Director Lu, whether he grants the favor is up to him. I’m indifferent. But, if he helps You Xinran, I’ll repay her favor. Honey, do you think I’m doing the right thing?"
He asked her, was he doing the right thing?
In essence, he wanted to know whether Pu Sangzhi would agree with him helping You Xinran.
Pu Sangzhi thought for a moment and then said, "It’s not about right or wrong. But, as you said, just consider it repaying her favor. After all, you’ve received a lot of care from her in the club, repaying some makes it easier to leave the club in the future."
"Honey, you really understand me~"
Huo Feng immediately grinned, "We really do think alike!"
People with similar values, indeed, have a mutual understanding!
"Hey, what are you doing on the bike?" Pu Sangzhi turned her head and frowned at him.
"Honey, I thought it over, and I better send you to the dormitory first. Then I’ll ride the bike back myself, otherwise tomorrow morning I’ll have to come to the dorm entrance to get the bike, which is quite troublesome." Huo Feng said with a smile.
Pu Sangzhi couldn’t refute this reason, so she sighed, turned her head, and pushed off on the bike...
The dormitory was close, taking just a few minutes to get to Pu Sangzhi’s dormitory entrance.
They got off the bike, Pu Sangzhi rubbed her hands and said to Huo Feng, "You should go, sleep early tonight, be more energetic tomorrow."
Huo Feng then sat on the bike, reaching out to pat Pu Sangzhi’s head, "Okay, honey sleeps early too. Love you~"
Pu Sangzhi pouted her lips, smiling as she turned and left.
Huo Feng stayed there, watching her run into the dormitory building, up the stairs, until her figure disappeared, then rode away in the opposite direction.
He’s really become accustomed to sending her home first, and then returning home himself...
This habit was developed in his first year of high school.
How can it be stopped...
...
At 9 PM, Huo Feng finally returned to his dormitory.
The fierce cold wind outside and the strong heating inside, this is quintessentially the North!
Huo Feng exhaled cold breath, shivering as he ran into the dormitory, then started taking off his coat, sweater, pants, taking out his thin autumn robe!
Wearing the thin pajamas, Huo Feng comfortably sighed, feeling dormitory life is delightful!
You should just be warm inside during this season, not freezing outside~
"Gu Er."
Huo Feng remembered the bottle of coffee he bought on the way to warm himself, specifically giving it to Gu Erhao, "Here’s coffee for you."
"Ah? Why are you giving me coffee, Feng?"
Gu Erhao was about to sit up on the bed when he dumbly picked up the coffee.
"Help me fix a program, I want to sleep early tonight, I have important things to do tomorrow."
Since the stuff was given, Huo Feng casually made use of it.
Coincidentally, the OA software handed over to Yan Siyuan yesterday, the client added some new feature requirements.
Huo Feng originally replied to Yan Siyuan to finish them by the weekend.
However, today the coffee was conveniently given, so he made use of it conveniently!
"Feng, you shouldn’t be so courteous with me! Just say if you need help, there’s no need to spend money on things for me."
Although Gu Erhao said so, he wasn’t polite at all as he opened the coffee and took a big sip, squinting his eyes from the bitterness, "Wow... a little bitter..."
"Bitter coffee has the effect of being energizing."
Huo Feng smiled as he took out his phone, "I’ll send the files to you via QQ right now. Send them to my email when you’re done, thanks."
"It’s nothing, Brother Feng, don’t be polite with me. I’m just your little brother, you can ask me to do anything!"
Gu Erhao, having accepted hospitality, patted his chest and agreed heartily.
Gu Erhao quickly climbed down from his bed to turn on the computer, ready to help Huo Feng with his work.
This bottle of coffee warmed Gu Erhao’s heart!
He was more than willing to work for such a considerate Brother Feng~
In fact...
This bottle of coffee that Huo Feng bought was merely to keep Pu Sangzhi’s hands warm.
On one side, Gu Erhao drank some coffee and worked for Huo Feng.
On the other side, Huo Feng climbed into bed and lay down comfortably.
The little orange cat jumped from Gu Yihao’s bed to Huo Feng’s bed, then tiptoed onto Huo Feng’s body. Huo Feng petted the little orange cat and let out a comfortable sigh, "Ah~ the best time of the day is just lying in bed~"
Afterwards, Huo Feng contacted Director Lu Xun via WeChat, asked about the female role audition, and recommended You Xinran.
Director Lu Xun was quite agreeable and readily accepted Huo Feng’s recommendation.
It might also be because Director Lu Xun recognized You Xinran.
After all, she was the lead actress in the three hottest TikTok videos by Huo Feng; it’s natural that Director Lu Xun, who discovered Huo Feng through TikTok, would know You Xinran too.
Director Lu Xun was quite young, only 26 years old, having no generation gap with Huo Feng.
Through WeChat, the two had a good conversation.
For tomorrow’s audition, Huo Feng felt quite confident.
Because tonight, Director Lu Xun talked to him for an hour about the role of ’Zhou Cheng’...
Thanks to Pu Sangzhi who had read the original novel, he provided Huo Feng plenty of insights into the original plot, allowing Huo Feng to understand more about the role of ’Zhou Cheng’.
That led to Huo Feng and Director Lu Xun discussing the character for over an hour.
Director Lu Xun was already very pleased with Huo Feng tonight!
...
The next day was Saturday, and Huo Feng’s audition was scheduled for the afternoon.
At noon, he and Pu Sangzhi took the subway to Chaoyang District, where Tianyue Film Culture Company was located.
It was the first time for both of them to visit a film company.
It was apparent that the scale of this film company wasn’t very large, occupying only four floors of a commercial building.
The building looked quite upscale.
The security downstairs dressed formally, stood straight, unlike security in ordinary communities who often hunch over.
Huo Feng and Pu Sangzhi arrived a bit early; it was 12:30 when they got there, right at the lunch break time for office workers.
They wandered around the first floor, which had a Starbucks, a gym, and a restaurant set up quite thoughtfully.
Huo Feng and Pu Sangzhi held their hot Starbucks drinks, standing on the first floor, looking at the building’s layout.
The 22-story office building housed five large and small companies and several small studios.
"Look, honey..."
Huo Feng raised Pu Sangzhi’s hand as a gesture, "The 7th and 8th floors are missing."
"Yeah..."
With Huo Feng’s reminder, Pu Sangzhi also noticed, "Why are there no 7th and 8th floors? These numbers aren’t considered unlucky, right?"
"Could it be residential?" Huo Feng analyzed.
"Probably not. This is a commercial office building with commercial water and electricity setups. Plus, it’s only the 7th and 8th floors missing. Even if there were commercial lofts hidden, having just two floors would be too few; such apartments would be hard to sell, so it definitely won’t be residential." Pu Sangzhi continued to analyze, meticulously.
Huo Feng couldn’t help but exclaim, "Honey, you’re so smart~ Now I know, the 7th and 8th floors must be haunted, so they shut them down!"
Pu Sangzhi: "Could it be?"
"Thinking too much, the 7th and 8th floors’ previous company went bankrupt and moved out!"
Just as they were enthusiastically chatting, suddenly, a company employee walked past them from behind and casually made this remark...
This sudden interjection left Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng quite embarrassed...
They looked at each other, only to hear the company employee continue, "You guys are just spouting nonsense without knowing anything, ignorance is scary!"
The words were...
Huo Feng almost wanted to splash milk tea over their head, but Pu Sangzhi held him back...
"What’s so high and mighty about that..."
Huo Feng muttered, "Is working here so impressive, tomorrow I’ll just buy the 7th and 8th floors!"
Shortly after his big talk...
Huo Feng really went ahead and rented the 7th and 8th floors...
His first small company was established here in his life!
