After exchanging pleasantries, Shi Mei had already settled the contract issue with Ye Tiao.
After dinner, Shi Mei and Ye Tiao went back home, while Tang Jingming stayed at their house to help take care of some miscellaneous matters concerning the bar franchise.
Like finding a decoration company, designing blueprints, and so on, Shi Mei and Ye Tiao needed to finalize these.
As a result, Shi Lingyan, who had thought she could regain favor, was sent back to Yan City by Shi Mei the very next day.
In the following period, Shi Mei started to be incredibly busy. A few days passed, and she even forgot that she had to attend the selection interviews at the art academy. The source of thɪs content is 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒·𝗇𝗲𝘁
Granny Tang’s letter of recommendation for admission had a high value, but Shi Mei had never intended to use it.
On the day of the dance academy interview, Shi Mei took her interview qualification certificate and smoothly entered the candidate area.
On this day, Shi Mei had applied light makeup, and when she appeared before the interviewers, even those accustomed to beauty showed expressions of astonishment.
Such expressions reached their peak after seeing Shi Mei’s dance steps and posture.
On the spot, Shi Mei passed the interview.
Shi Mei smiled, thanked them, and left the scene perfectly.
Just as she stepped out of the interview room, she suddenly saw a familiar figure approaching in the distance.
At that moment, Jian Yun was talking to other teachers with a smile on her face.
Shi Mei showed a look of surprise, tidied up her appearance, and quickly jogged over.
But, before she could get close, several young people surrounded Jian Yun, all of them with looks of admiration and longing on their faces.
Shi Mei quietly moved closer and heard her mother’s gentle voice, "You must work hard to strive for a guaranteed admission qualification by the end of the year."
The encouraged student’s face lit up with surprise, and she nodded happily, "Thank you, Dean! I will definitely try my hardest!"
Jian Yun smiled tenderly, "Good luck."
Someone next to them, seeing Shi Mei staring at Jian Yun, spoke up, "If you want to greet her, you better hurry; she will leave soon."
Shi Mei looked at her, smiled, and said, "Thank you."
The girl, seeing that Shi Mei had nothing more to say, turned away and spoke to someone nearby, "Dean Jian is really beautiful. Every year, the new students who worship her line up to greet her. I’m so envious."
"Yes, she maintains herself so well, she looks like she’s in her thirties. Who would guess she’s Tang Wu’s mother?"
"You can’t tell, but everyone knows, after all, many of those greeting her are actually fans of Tang Wu."
Shi Mei, hearing their conversation, turned her gaze to Jian Yun.
Seeing her mother’s smile, Shi Mei suddenly felt a little emptiness inside.
Her mother was always , gentle and considerate to everyone, dealing with them with a smile.
And for her now, perhaps she was just like any other dance scholar to her, nothing special.
Thinking this, Shi Mei felt a bit sad.
Watching as the other students all left, Shi Mei finally stepped forward.
At that moment, Jian Yun turned her head and, upon seeing Shi Mei, her face lit up with surprise, "Is it you?"
Her voice was intimate, with sincere joy.
Something touched Shi Mei’s heart, and unexpectedly, she felt a bit moved.
It seemed, it was still different after all.
The kind-hearted classmate who had just reminded Shi Mei, upon seeing this, was very surprised and whispered to the person next to her, "Does Dean Jian know her?"
Jian Yun walked towards Shi Mei, her face filled with happiness, affectionately saying, "Do you still remember me?"
Shi Mei was acutely aware of the envious gazes around her.
