Chapter 502: Chapter 502: The school has decided to raise the surrounding wall by another two meters
At the same time, Qianxun’s movie "Painted Skin" had its release date set for Christmas Eve.
It was already October, and midterm exams were due in early November. After finishing her activities, Qianxun declined everything else to go back to school.
Many people thought Su Qianxun was crazy to return to school at the peak of her popularity. They didn’t realize that the entertainment circle was fast-paced. Not to mention daily gossip, even disappearing for a month could significantly cool her heat and possibly lead to someone new taking her place.
However, Qianxun didn’t care. She wasn’t a celebrity dependent on viral fame, so why worry about popularity?
Besides, she was confident that even if she temporarily faded from the spotlight, her return would still make waves.
Moreover, she had no intention of exploiting her fame for quick cash at the expense of her reputation; what she wanted was to continually improve herself!
For instance, while other students were in class, she would be studying foreign languages. After school, she practiced contemporary dance, exercised, and kept fit—she was really busy!
But no matter what, Qianxun’s return to school thrilled the students at Nanyang High School.
No one had expected that Qianxun, amid such fame, would come back to study.
...
But once it was discovered that Qianxun was at the school, many journalists and fans started to gather around Nanyang High School.
Naturally, this caused significant inconvenience to the school.
However, what the journalists didn’t expect was that many students spontaneously shielded Qianxun to keep her campus life undisturbed. Whenever someone asked about Qianxun’s whereabouts, the students unanimously claimed she wasn’t at school.
The school’s security guards were on constant patrol, even bringing their dogs to prevent anyone from climbing over the walls and disrupting the students’ studies.
With the students’ collective protection, Qianxun peacefully attended classes for half a month.
Sun Ze had asked if she wanted to stop coming to school, but he fiercely opposed the idea, "Students should study in school. How can you not come to school? Don’t worry about the reporters outside; the school has decided to raise the walls by another two meters. Rest assured, no one will disrupt your high school life!"
Now, thanks to the celebrity Su Qianxun, Nanyang High School didn’t have to worry about enrollment rates for the next few years. Raising the walls two meters for her wasn’t a big deal.
Not to mention, Su Qianxun’s presence in class boosted the enthusiasm of Class F significantly; of course, he wanted to keep her in class as much as possible!
...
And so Qianxun attended her classes until after the midterms in early November, only then did she ask for leave again.
Sun Ze, aware that she was now a celebrity with many commitments, quickly approved her leave.
Once Qianxun returned to their new residence in City S, Ruan Mianmian greeted her with a contract in hand, all smiles, "Qianxun, I’ve secured the contract for ’Gambling God 2’!"
Hong Kong dramas had been popular in recent years, and there were many gorgeous actresses among the Hong Kong stars, so securing the contract for "Gambling God 2" wasn’t only due to her efforts but also connected to Liang Chu’s influence.
After all, the director hadn’t initially planned to use a Mainlander.
If it weren’t for Liang Chu having some sway, and for Qianxun’s look fitting the director’s taste perfectly, getting that contract would not have been easy.
Qianxun listened and simply nodded, "When do we start shooting?"
"End of this month, at the Oucheng Casino," replied Ruan Mianmian.
"I see. Find me a Cantonese language teacher in the next couple of days."
