Chasing the Light

Chapter 2: Surprise or shock

Views:

The next day, the village chief brought a retired teacher to take over the shift. Summer vacation would be soon, and there would be new teachers for the next semester. The new school building was almost completed, and the children could sit in a safe and bright classroom and study with peace of mind.

Su Ran was very relieved about this, but she couldn't bear to leave her children.

Knowing that Teacher Su was leaving, the children stopped attending classes and ran out, some pulling at their clothes, some pulling at their trouser legs, some holding hands, all with their faces covered in tears.

"Teacher Su, will you come back to see us?"

Su Ran smiled, but couldn't help sobbing: "Teacher Su will definitely come back to see you, you must study hard and don't be naughty."

It was the village chief who came to the rescue: "When did your teacher Su ever break her promise? Teacher Su promised that when you move into the new school building next semester, she will definitely come to attend your opening ceremony."

Su Ran and Ning Xi got on the tricycle, and the children stood at the school gate to see them off.

Ning Xi patted Su Ran's hand and comforted her, "I'll come with you to the opening ceremony and give the children new school bags."

Su Ran nodded, not daring to look up at the children, for fear of seeing the reluctance in their eyes.

The dark sky hangs low

Bright stars follow

Insects Fly

Who are you missing...

I don't know who started it first, but everyone joined in the singing. The singing was so tearful that Su Ran could no longer control her tears, as if a dam had burst.

This is the song she just taught the children to sing yesterday.

Ning Xi was also touched by such a scene and felt sad. She silently hugged Su Ran's shoulders. Su Ran was a very strong person. Except in the play, she had never cried. Even when Zhou Kai plotted against her and blackmailed her, she never cried. As a result, her best friend, agent and assistant lacked experience in comforting people.

The village chief drove a tricycle to take them to the simple bus station. The two of them took a bus straight to the provincial capital, where they rested for two days, finalized the contract, and bought some daily necessities to take to the troops. Then they parted at the hotel, Ning Xi went to the airport, and Su Ran went to the bus station.

When going through security check, a foreign man in front of Su Ran was also carrying a Lycra. Su Ran was worried that he had taken the wrong one, so she took it open and checked. It was indeed a Lycra S (TYP007), so she went to the departure station to wait for the train with peace of mind.

When checking tickets, Su Ran saw seven or eight people rushing into the waiting room, seemingly looking for someone. She didn't think much about it, as it was none of her business anyway. If she could stay a little longer, she would see the foreign man who had gone through security with her before being handcuffed and taken away.

After more than three hours' drive, we finally arrived at a bus station in a small county town. As soon as we got out of the station, Director Chen's assistant Wu Bin came up to us quickly.

"Su Ran, it's you. Director Chen was keeping it a secret on the phone, saying he had a surprise for me. This is really a surprise, a big surprise. Welcome to join 72 Hours." Wu Bin shook hands with Su Ran with a smile.

"No, no, I really like the role of Chen Jin. I have to thank Director Chen for giving me this opportunity." Su Ran said with a smile.

In a hotel room in a small county town, the second female lead, Ye Dansha, was complaining with a sour face: "What time is it? Can't we eat now?"

She was filming in Liusha City the day before yesterday. As soon as she finished filming there, she rushed here non-stop, by plane and car. She finally got here. She was almost exhausted and starving, but she still had to wait for others. Couldn't they eat first? Who was so famous that he wanted her, Ye Dansha, to wait

Judging from the confirmed cast of the show, apart from the male lead Shen Yifeng, who else is more prestigious than her? Unless the person who comes is the female lead, and it must be Sister Lin Ying, in which case she is willing to wait as long as possible. Sister Lin Ying is a top-tier celebrity, and after Su Ran's silence, no one can compete with Sister Lin Ying.

But this is impossible. She called Sister Lin Ying yesterday and Sister Lin Ying said that the talks are almost done, but she still has some work to finish, which will take about a month, and then she may go directly to the crew.

Therefore, the person she was waiting for could not be Sister Lin Ying, so Ye Dansha became even more impatient.

"No need to wait, waiter, serve the food."

Liu Yayi, the third female student at the side, said weakly, "Sister Dansha, is this not a good idea?"

Assistant Wu told them to wait a moment.

Ye Dansha glanced at her indifferently. Girls who have just debuted are timid, not to mention that Liu Yayi hasn't even made her official debut yet.

"What are you afraid of when I'm here?" Ye Dansha sneered.

"But… "

"You can continue to wait. I won't wait any longer." Ye Dansha urged the waiter to serve the food again.

At this time, the door of the private room opened, and Assistant Wu and a woman walked in. When Ye Dansha saw the woman, she was as if she had seen a ghost. It was as if a thousand horses were galloping through her heart. How could it be her

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. I don't think I need to introduce this person to you all. She's Su Ran, the leading female role in our drama." Assistant Wu said with a smile.

What? Female No. 1

"Assistant Wu, did you make a mistake?" Ye Dansha blurted out subconsciously, not believing it was true. Didn't Sister Lin Ying say that the talks were almost over? She went directly to the crew a month later. How come the leading actress became Su Ran again

"Ms. Ye is such a joker. Director Chen called me personally, how could I make a mistake?" Assistant Wu smiled on the surface, but he was a little unhappy in his heart. It was too rude of Ye Dansha to ask this in front of Su Ran.

Who doesn't get involved in some scandals in the entertainment industry? The more popular you are, the easier it is to attract criticism. They buy articles and hire Internet trolls to fabricate all kinds of stories. It's nothing more than a struggle for resources and status. He has seen a lot of this. Regardless of whether Su Ran's scandals are true or false, it's fine if others scold Su Ran, but what qualifications do you, Ye Dansha, have to question Su Ran here? In order to become famous, you sold yourself as Su Ran's best friend every day. To put it bluntly, it's all Su Ran's credit that you, Ye Dansha, can have your current status. As a result, when Su Ran got into trouble, Ye Dansha was the first to jump out and accuse Su Ran and draw a clear line with Su Ran. Don't blame him for saying that. This kind of ungrateful person who plays with whoever is popular has real moral problems. If the investor hadn't designated Ye Dansha to participate, Director Chen would not have used Ye Dansha.

Su Ran was disdainful of Ye Dansha's rudeness.

As early as the moment Ye Dansha took advantage of her misfortune, they were no longer friends. Perhaps Ye Dansha did not regard her as a friend, but just used her. Since we are no longer friends, I don’t care whether you feel happy or not. I am the female lead. What do you think? Don’t accept it? If you don’t accept it, quit!

"Hello, Sister Su Ran, my name is Liu Yayi." Liu Yayi stood up and greeted Sister Su Ran and bowed politely. She couldn't hide her excitement in her eyes. She was so happy. She fell in love with acting after watching Sister Su Ran's first work "Silent Testimony". She never expected that she would be able to work with Sister Su Ran in her first play after her debut.

The girl's clear and sincere eyes, polite words and deeds, easily made people feel good about her. Su Ran smiled slightly: "Hello, Liu Yayi."

Ye Dansha got angry when she saw Liu Yayi smiling shyly like a little pug, and said angrily: "I'm going to the bathroom."
