"Sister Tongtong! Help me, please!" She spoke in a pitiful tone, "Ever since my brother joined Yi Tai, he’s like a completely different person! Linda has come to our house to stir up trouble several times, and I really can’t handle it anymore. I don’t want to go home. I asked my brother to send me some money, but he’s ignoring me! I thought, isn’t it summer vacation now? I’m about to start my senior year next semester with not many classes, so I was thinking of finding an internship. Then, I could directly get an internship report too, right? I wouldn’t need to ask my brother for allowance anymore!"
Ji Niandong immediately caught the key point, "You mean, you want me to help you find an internship? But, why would your brother ignore you?"
"My brother’s completely changed lately. You’re in the same company now, haven’t you seen him?"
He certainly did become a different person, and Ji Niandong didn’t know what to say.
Off to the side, Lu Beichen said, "I can arrange an internship for her."
"Oh my, is that the handsome brother-in-law? Thank you so much!" Shen Congling shouted from the other side.
Ji Niandong seized the opportunity and said, "Alright, I’ll ask him and let you know later!"
"No, no, don’t trouble the handsome brother-in-law! Sister Tongtong, didn’t Ada just sign you, and you’re about to go on set for filming? Surely, you need an assistant. How about this, I’ll be your assistant, okay?"
She had just started, no significant work yet, and she is already arranging for assistants?
"No need, I don’t need an assistant for now!"
"Don’t say that! Sister Tongtong, how about I follow you for a trial day first? See if I fit the role; don’t decide my fate from the start! Sister Tongtong, aren’t I your favorite?" cried Shen Congling.
"Sister Tongtong likes me the most!" Lu Sinian, who couldn’t keep listening any longer, chimed in, "Sister Tongtong, if you need an assistant, I can do it too. It’s summer vacation, and I’ve got nothing to do."
Ji Niandong felt stressed, "Lingling, I’m having lunch right now; I’ll message you on WeChat later!"
She quickly hung up, and Lu Sinian, sitting beside her, blinked eagerly, "Who was that on the call, Sister Tongtong? Do you need an assistant? I’m free anytime!"
"Have you finished your summer homework?" Lu Beichen asked from the side.
"Such easy homework, I can finish it in no time!" Lu Sinian waved his hand as if to say he’s a genius, who could easily skip grades, but had to wait because he was too young and looked even younger.
Ji Niandong put on a gentle smile, "Sister Tongtong doesn’t need an assistant yet, and there’s no announcement to go on set. Be good and finish your breakfast!"
"Oh! But if you ever need help, you can always call me!" He acted like a grown man, flexing his nonexistent biceps.
Ji Niandong was immediately amused by him.
After breakfast, she was about to head to Sheng Mingyuan’s place for lessons when she received a WeChat message from Ada, "Next Monday at 6 AM, come to New City High School for filming! It’s your scenes two, four, and five from the script!"
Ji Niandong quickly checked the second scene in the script, where Shen Xiaole didn’t have breakfast properly with her sister and headed off to school with her backpack.
This scene involved Shen Xiaole and her friend Xiao Xing going to class.
On the way, Xiao Xing suddenly rushed out to tell her that her boyfriend’s family went bankrupt, and her boyfriend cheated on her.
Shen Xiaole was stunned because she had no idea about it, then ran off to find her boyfriend with her backpack.
The fourth scene involved being taken to the principal’s office and getting expelled from school.
She was reported by a classmate for engaging in illegal activities at a nightclub.
The classmate who reported her was Xiao Xing, and the one who tricked her into going to the nightclub was Shen Xiaole’s boyfriend, Xiao He.
After being expelled, she stormed out of the school gate in anger, where Xiao He stopped her, and they had a confrontation.
