Chapter 1020: Chapter 1020: The Speechless Big Boss, Top Tier Lineup for "The Nation's Heroine"! (2)

“Alright.” Yu Xiheng raised his hand and gently ruffled her hair, his voice low, “Don’t be nervous during the exam.”

“When it comes to me, it’s always the examiners who are nervous.” Si Fuqing waved her hand. “I’m going in now. You don’t need to wait outside; it’s no big deal.”

Yu Xiheng watched her enter, a slight smile on his face. “Go ahead.”

Behind them.

Xi Jiang lowered his voice, “Brother Nine really seems like a very worried parent.”

Feng San, expressionless, remarked, “You’d better be careful with your salary.”

At the moment Yu Xiheng’s calm gaze swept over, Xi Jiang instantly changed his tone, “Brother Nine is such a considerate and good companion!”

Feng San was speechless.

Maybe he should sew Xi Jiang’s mouth shut instead.

You’re just adding salt to the wound.

Yu Xiheng closed his eyes. “You can all go back. I’ll wait here for her.”

Xi Jiang opened his mouth to say something, but Feng San quickly covered it and dragged him away.

The college entrance exam for the five states of Great Xia used the same set of papers and lasted for two days, ending on the afternoon of June 8.

When Si Fuqing leisurely packed up and left the examination hall, she saw students already running wildly out, some even doing splits in mid-air.

Si Fuqing: “…”

Impressive, their flexibility is quite good.

Youth is indeed joyful.

Unfortunately, she was old.

Outside the school gate, parents holding flowers and various gifts had been waiting for a long time, some already embracing their children.

Si Fuqing lowered her head, her eyes suddenly heavy.

In both this life and her past one, she had no parents.

Until a faint floral scent wafted over.

Si Fuqing paused and looked up.

A man in a dark gray suit, with a handsome face, stood before her, holding a carefully wrapped bouquet of flowers.

His voice was calm but caused ripples.

“Congratulations.”

Si Fuqing blinked and accepted the bouquet.

Miraculously, all her negative emotions vanished.

“Brother Nine.”

“Hmm?”

“You’ll definitely be a great dad in the future.”

Yu Xiheng looked down at her, his expression unchanged, voice still calm, “It seems your mind is a bit muddled after the exam. It was difficult.”

“Not really, quite technical,” Si Fuqing stretched lazily, “It’s over. Tomorrow I’ll start filming. Today, I’ll have a big meal.”

Yu Xiheng nodded. “Let’s go home for lunch.”

With the college entrance exams over, the internet was abuzz with discussions about this year’s exam papers.

The trending topics were all dominated by the college entrance exams.

[I’m already in college, why am I so concerned about the entrance exam? Glad I took them early, this year’s math paper was too hard.]

[Is this essay prompt even humanly comprehensible? I couldn’t understand the question.]

[I was in the same exam hall as Qingqing, felt like I had a lucky koi fish, performed exceptionally well! Qingqing is truly beautiful!]

[Congratulations!]

[Which school will Qingqing attend? She didn’t take the art exam, so she can’t go to a film school. Is she going to an academic university?]

[No matter where she goes, I’ll always support her! She’s worth it!]

Not only were her fans puzzled, but netizens and marketing accounts were also at a loss.

Especially the admissions department of Great Xia Film Academy, which was utterly perplexed.

They had called Sang Yanqing more than ten times, repeatedly stating that it didn’t matter if Si Fuqing missed the art exam. As long as her college entrance exam scores met their standards, they would make an exception and admit her.

Si Fuqing’s acting skills were outstanding. While other young actresses were vying for leading roles in TV dramas, she had already been nominated for the Nine Realms Awards.

Great Xia Film Academy couldn’t afford to miss such a student.

In the realm of film and television, the Great Xia Empire had always lagged behind the Western Continent. Now that they finally had a talent like Si Fuqing, could they afford to let her go?

Since they didn’t want to disturb her during the exams, they immediately contacted Sang Yanqing again after the exams ended.

“Sorry, sorry, but Qingqing has her own goals,” Sang Yanqing still refused. “She has already discussed it with the professors at Great Xia University. She’s going there, and as for her major, that’s up to her. I’m just her agent; I don’t interfere in these matters.”

After the call ended, the vice-principal beside him exclaimed, “Did I hear that right, Great Xia University?”

“No mistake.” The admissions officer was also extremely surprised. “It’s definitely Xia University.”

Great Xia University was the top university in the Great Xia Empire, ranking in the top ten globally, and produced talents for various international organizations every year.

Rumor had it that this year, two exceptional students from the Computer Science Department had received offers from intelligence agencies T18 and Zero before graduation.

Great Xia University was a dream destination for everyone, but not everyone could get in.

“Overestimating herself,” the vice-dean shook his head. “She’s not good at academic subjects, yet she insists on applying to Great Xia University. If she came to Great Xia Film Academy, she’d be the absolute number one, and we’d invest resources to fully cultivate her. What a pity.”

Someone so overly ambitious wouldn’t go far in any circle.

But he didn’t bother to offer advice. If Si Fuqing wanted to ruin her future, it had nothing to do with him.

“However, Song Wenhua will definitely come,” the admissions officer smiled. “She started as a child star and has taken on the film ‘The Solitary Journey.’ Next year, she’ll compete for Best Actress.”

The Harmony Award had never given the Best Actress award to the same person two years in a row. This year it was Si Fuqing, next year it would be Song Wenhua.

Since Si Fuqing wasn’t coming to Great Xia Film Academy, they would cultivate Song Wenhua to surpass her.

This was Si Fuqing’s loss.

The vice-dean’s frown eased, and he nodded. “Promote her well.”

On June 9, Si Fuqing officially joined the cast of “The Nation’s Heroine.”

The first two episodes didn’t feature her, with JIANG Zhaoyue played by a young actress.

Si Fuqing wrote down some character traits of young Jiang Zhaoyue and gave them to the screenwriter.

The young actress was very talented and performed vividly.

Director Lu was very pleased. “Excellent, excellent. With Teacher Si here, we’re off to a great start.”

“Did you really consult a medium?” Sang Yanqing was surprised. “I heard from Director Lu that you scared the screenwriter quite a bit.”

Si Fuqing lazily replied, “Just think of it as consulting a medium.”

The game system prohibited her from telling others about her time travel back to the Great Xia Dynasty; otherwise, the journey would be terminated.

She hadn’t yet seen Emperor Yin drive the barbarians out of the five-state mainland.

“Teacher Si,” Mo Yishan lifted the curtain and entered. “I didn’t expect you to cast me as JIANG Haiping. What did you see in me to cast me as the General?”

If Si Fuqing hadn’t invited him, he really wouldn’t have accepted.

After all, JIANG Haiping was a very challenging role to play.

Si Fuqing touched her chin. “Because you somewhat resemble him.”

Mo Yishan was taken aback. Looking at the portrait of JIANG Haiping in the director’s office, he fell silent. “I don’t have a shoehorn face.”

“The painting skills back then weren’t great,” Si Fuqing raised an eyebrow. “The dream lover in white, General JIANG Xuanjin was a rare handsome man.”

Mo Yishan resigned himself. “You speak as if you’ve seen him.”

“I indeed have.”

Mo Yishan: “???”

After giving instructions to the young actress, Director Lu walked over. “Teacher Si, the actors you recommended to play MO Yanfeng and JIANG Xuanjin haven’t arrived yet? When will they come?”

“They’ll be here soon. They’re quite busy, but I managed to schedule them,” Si Fuqing checked the time. “Ah, they’re here.”

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.

Director Lu’s expression changed, and he immediately got up to open the door.

Mo Yishan and the others also looked towards the door.

They were curious to see who Si Fuqing had found to play these two historical milestone characters.

From this point on, the Mo family, one of the three aristocratic families of Great Xia, will go as MO family. All aristocratic families will now be capitalized to avoid confusion and duplication.
