Chapter 1519 - Here to Challenge

Right, Han Zhuoling’s direct enough.

“Probably... yes.” Xiao Zhang considered something and said carefully, “I think Ms. Shi seems to want to have less contact with you, though she isn’t angry with you. That is... she wants to widen the gap between you two. She naturally wouldn’t be bothered by someone unrelated to her.”

Bang! Han Zhuoling slapped the table forcefully.

Damn widening the gap!

Widen what gap!

He had already apologized with all his heart and she still wished to distance herself from him?

Xiao Zhang was startled by the slap and took a few steps back, looking at Han Zhuoling’s frightfully glum face.

He then heard Han Zhuoling say, “Continue sending the flowers tomorrow! Come take the card from me still.”

“Yes.” Xiao Zhang nodded hurriedly.

Han Zhuoling was still in a bad mood when Xiao Zhang left.

Shi Xiaoya was too heartless!

Both of them had had a pleasant conversation before.

It’s fine if she was furious, but her denying any relations with him was going too far!

In the blink of an eye, it was the night of the welcome party.

The exchange students from New York University had arrived a day before in B City, but considering the time difference, they were given time to rest up in the hotel yesterday.

This morning, the team was touring the National Drama Academy before going to the National Film Academy in the afternoon.

At 2 PM, the exchange students entered the school compound on a bus.

“OMG!” someone shouted.

“What is it?”

“Look at the one by the second window. Is that Shana Mottsee?”

“What? Let me see!”

“Seems to be her!”

“She’s the fresh face recently promoted by Walter’s Company. I’ve even watched her teen romance movie recently, and she’s so pretty in there!”

Walter’s Company was known for creating stars, especially teen idols.

Every couple of years, they’d promote a new teen idol—usually aged 16.

As long as they were being packaged by Walter’s Company, they would be well-loved by the youngsters.

Previous idols promoted by Walter’s Company were now still active in Hollywood, and most had made successful image changes, no longer restricted by their previous status as a teen idol. This proved how successful Walter’s Company was in packaging and promoting their idols.

And Shana Mottsee was someone whom Walter’s Company had started heavily promoting in the last couple of years.

Kicking off her career with a youth-themed American TV series, they then slowly had her expanding into big-budget movies where she could show off her singing and dancing skills, as well as release her own album on the side.

Last Christmas, a youth romance movie called Farewell Christmas Eve that she starred in premiered, and as she was one of the good-looking leads, this pushed her to greater popularity.

“This summer, she’s having a new film called Magic Destinies, and the male lead is so handsome! I’m going to watch it no matter what.”

Lu Man and her three friends walked together, hearing the chatterings of the other students.

Someone else gushed, “No idea if we’d have any chance to ask for her signature and take a photo with her.”

Lu Man followed the fingers of the students and glanced over, only managing a measly glimpse before the bus went into the parking lot.

Inside the bus, a golden-haired boy scoffed, “What a load of bumpkins. Shana, they’re all looking at you.”

Shana smiled lazily. “How boring. No idea why the school insists on sending us here. There aren’t many real actors in the entertainment industry here, and even those who have filmed before couldn’t compete with us with their acting skills. Why are we still going to compete with their students? We’re on totally different levels.”
