Jiang Ning had a mournful expression as she said, “But I’m not willing to accept this, Jiang Chun. How does she always turn bad situations into good ones?”

Jiang Chun also thought the same, but she said, “It’s not her fault. She indeed has good grades and acting skills. I heard that many people volunteered for that public service advertisement, but Director Xu didn’t even give them a chance.”

Hearing her words, Jiang Ning became even more frustrated. “And when did she sign a contract with Ding Sheng Media? Is the company blind? Why did they choose her?”

At the thought that Wen Nian was about to debut, Jiang Chun felt much better. How could such a big company not have any problems? She had witnessed many agents bringing artists to her father’s social gatherings, essentially high-class prostitutes.

She smiled, “That’s just Wen Nian’s destiny. With such high box office numbers for her movies, how could she not enter the entertainment industry? If she didn’t want to enter in the first place, why did she go into filmmaking? Everyone has their own fate.”

Jiang Ning was feeling indignant, but she couldn’t argue with Jiang Chun. After crying for a while in Jiang Chun’s room, she left.

Jiang Chun looked at the online comments that were all siding with Wen Nian and felt a bit upset. However, thinking that Wen Nian had already signed with an entertainment company, she felt more at ease.

Now that Wen Nian was a female celebrity, so what if she was the center of attention? The Shen family would never accept such a daughter-in-law.

After experiencing the results storm, life in the third year of high school was once again just about doing exercise questions.

Other than doing the homework assigned by the teacher every day, Wen Nian also had to continue doing the exercise questions assigned by Shen Jun. She wished that she could turn one minute into two minutes as there was just not enough time.

While she was studying with all her might, Wen Nian still had to prepare for the art exam. After the evening self-study session, she had to keep looking at the past exam content sent by Tian Juan.

In reality, the exams at the Film Academy were more about whether you were suitable for this line of work. Having talent was, of course, good, but if you lacked talent, had good acting skills, or were a moldable talent, the school would still keep you.

However, in recent years, with the entertainment industry booming and various talent shows thriving, many teenagers had dreams of becoming stars. Therefore, the number of people applying to the Film Academy was increasing. It was like a multitude of troops passing through a narrow bridge, and it wasn’t so easy to pass directly.

When Wen Nian received a WeChat message from Tian Juan, she was also in a dilemma. Piano was her strength, and showcasing her talent in playing the piano was an option. However, standing out from the crowd was a bit challenging.

Thinking back to a low-budget web series she had filmed in her past life, her martial arts instructor had trained her in the use of a longsword for some time. She decided to practice this skill again. Since she was going to take the exam, she needed to have some special talents.

Tian Juan: I’ve already handled the enrollment for the art exam at the Film Academy in the capital for you. It would be best for you to come a couple of days early. The company will arrange your flight and hotel. There are some things to note in advance. You can bring your family along. If they are busy, I can accompany you to the exam.

While receiving this message, Wen Nian was contemplating. Her family had recently opened a braised dish restaurant, and her parents were busy taking turns taking care of Wen Yan. Therefore, she decided to go to the exam alone. Since there was a manager accompanying her, she was extremely familiar with Kyoto.

Unexpectedly, after she and Li Fang had taken a leave of absence, she saw Shen Jun waiting for her at the door.

“I’m going to the capital for more than a week to participate in the art exam. I was planning to tell you in the classroom later. But I’ll be back after the exam. Sister Juan has already prepared everything for me.” Wen Nian hesitated a bit before speaking.

She knew that if she told Shen Jun in advance, he might also want to go with her. Since she had decided to venture into the entertainment industry, she couldn’t rely on Shen Jun for everything.

Unexpectedly, Shen Jun smiled and said, “I’ve applied for leave too. Let’s pack up in the afternoon. The flight is tonight.”

“What? Why are you going?” Wen Nian looked a bit embarrassed. “The college entrance examination is coming soon, and you should focus on preparing for it.”

“Do you think I still need to continue revising?” Shen Jun interrupted her directly. “You definitely won’t let Uncle and Auntie follow you. Now that you’re quite famous, of course I’m going to be your bodyguard. You’ll definitely be safe in the capital.”

With that, he even raised his arm and showed his biceps, making Wen Nian speechless.

However, thinking about Shen Jun’s almost perfect score, Wen Nian felt that it wasn’t a bad thing for him to follow..
