Chapter 78 Liu Haochun's Choice
Afterwards, Lin Feng leaned against the headboard, Li Yitong slumped in his arms, her hair disheveled and spread across his chest. She raised her hand and lightly punched him, the force barely a tickle: "You always bully me. This is at the company. What if someone hears us..."
"Don't worry, the soundproofing is excellent." Lin Feng pinched her cheek.
He carried her into the bathroom, adjusted the water temperature, and the warm water washed away the sweat.
"This is what a good day should be like." Back in his office, Lin Feng sat in his chair, pulled Li Yitong into his arms, and let her sit on his lap.
She had just changed into a clean dress, her hair still damp, and leaned on his shoulder.
"Yes," Li Yitong picked up the employee roster on the table and flipped through it, "when we were working before, we never dared to imagine that we would have such a big space."
"It will get even bigger in the future." Lin Feng kissed the top of her head, knowing in his heart that this was just the beginning.
During his afternoon inspection of the company, Lin Feng took many photos with his phone. In the open-plan office area on the first floor, the screenwriters were gathered together discussing the script.
In the editing room on the second floor, several machines were running simultaneously, and the screens displayed the post-production footage of "The Best of Us".
He posted the photos in the group chat with the caption: "The company has moved. Don't get lost next time you come."
Xiao Tian replied instantly, sending a stunned emoji: "Wow! Brother Feng, your company is so cool! It's even more impressive than our school's auditorium!" He followed it with a string of drooling emojis.
"It's alright," Lin Feng replied with a smile. Just as he put down his phone, Liu Haochun messaged him: "Brother Feng, can I go for a visit tomorrow? I don't have classes this weekend."
"Of course," Raymond Lam replied. "You're also an artist with the company, so you're welcome anytime. Your sister Yitong and I will pick you up then."
"Thank you, Brother Feng!"
Xiaotian immediately chimed in, "Huh? Haochun can go tomorrow? When can I go?"
"Winter break," Lin Feng replied, "you need to focus on your studies now, otherwise you won't get into the Beijing Film Academy, and you won't even have a workstation when you arrive."
"We have to wait until winter break?" Xiaotian sent a crying emoji, looking aggrieved. "Two more months! That's way too long!"
There's nothing we can do about that.
"Then when I come during winter break, you have to treat me to a big meal!" Xiaotian sent a hands-on-hips emoji. "You have to make it up to me!"
"Okay," Lin Feng chuckled, "I'll take you to a Michelin-starred restaurant later, are you satisfied now?"
"Satisfied! Satisfied!" Xiao Tian immediately sent a kowtowing emoji, "Brother Feng, you're the best!"
On Sunday, he gripped the steering wheel and glanced at Li Yitong in the passenger seat: "Haochun said she's waiting at the entrance of the dance school, and we'll be there in five minutes."
"Hmm," Li Yitong said, applying lipstick in front of a small mirror.
As the car turned into the entrance of the dance school, Liu Haochun was seen standing at the entrance with a backpack, wearing a white hoodie and jeans, and with her hair tied in a high ponytail. When she saw their car, her eyes lit up, and she ran over to open the car door.
"Brother Feng, Sister Yitong." She sat in the back seat, her cheeks slightly flushed. "Thank you for coming all this way to pick me up."
"Don't mention it," Lin Feng said, glancing at her through the rearview mirror. "We're just going that way. By the way, you mentioned in the group chat yesterday that you wanted to come and visit. Are you curious about the new company?"
"Yes!" Liu Haochun nodded vigorously.
On the way to the Beijing Film Academy Cultural and Creative Park, Liu Haochun suddenly took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and said softly, "Brother Feng, Sister Yitong, I want to tell you something. I've decided to take the entrance exam for the Beijing Film Academy."
Lin Feng paused on the steering wheel, looking at her with some surprise through the rearview mirror: "Have you thought it through? No longer hesitating?"
"I've thought it through." Liu Haochun's eyes were bright. "My teacher said that dance can be a passion, and acting can be a career; the two don't conflict. Besides..." She pursed her lips, "I think I can definitely succeed by working with Brother Feng."
Li Yitong turned around and patted the back of her hand: "This choice was absolutely right. Look at me, after graduating from the Beijing Dance Academy, I wasted two years before finding my direction. You're so much better off now, with mentors and resources. Things are much smoother for you than they were for me back then."
"That's right," Liu Haochun smiled, his eyes curving into crescents, "I also feel that meeting Brother Feng is an incredible stroke of luck."
"You two stop praising me like that," Lin Feng said with a smile, shaking his head.
The car stopped downstairs at the company. Liu Haochun followed them through the glass doors and was immediately stunned by the grandeur of the lobby on the first floor.
A crystal chandelier hung from the high ceiling, and huge movie posters adorned the walls. Several employees in overalls were setting up equipment, and upon seeing Lin Feng, they immediately greeted him, "Hello, Mr. Lin!"
"This is... one of our company's artists, Liu Haochun. I brought her here for a tour," Lin Feng introduced.
"Hello!" The employees smiled and nodded, their eyes filled with curiosity. Was this the spirited supporting actress from "Take My Brother Away"?
Liu Haochun lowered her head a little shyly and whispered, "Hello everyone." Li Yitong took her hand and led her forward, saying, "Don't be shy. We'll be colleagues from now on. You'll get to know each other better."
In the post-production server room, Zhou Ming was wearing headphones and staring at the screen. When he saw them come in, he took off his headphones and greeted them, "Haochun, it's been a while since we last met."
"Hello, Senior Brother Zhou." Liu Haochun recognized him; they had met on the set of "Take My Brother Away."
"Bring her to visit the new company." Lin Feng pointed to the screen. "How's the post-production going?"
"The first draft of the film will be ready by the end of this month," Zhou Ming said with a smile. "Haochun is a talented kid. If he gets into the Beijing Film Academy, his junior brother will have to mentor him a lot."
"Of course." Lin Feng patted Liu Haochun on the shoulder. "Come on, I'll take you from the first floor to the third floor."
From the open-plan office area on the first floor to the scriptwriting department and dressing room on the second floor, and then to the conference room and his private office on the third floor, Liu Haochun kept exclaiming "Wow!" all the way.
"Brother Feng, your office is huge! It's even bigger than our dance school's practice room!" She stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the lawn.
"It will get even bigger in the future," Raymond Lam said. "Once you get into the Beijing Film Academy and work hard at acting, maybe in a couple of years we can move to a bigger building."
"Yes!" Liu Haochun nodded vigorously, his little fists clenched tightly. "I will definitely work hard and make lots of money for the company!"
"That's a good girl." Lin Feng smiled and ruffled her hair. Just then, his phone rang. The name "Xiao Tian" popped up on the screen, along with a video request.
"Brother Feng! Brother Feng!" As soon as the video call connected, Tian Xiwei's large face filled the screen, with her desk in the background. "Has Haochun arrived at your company yet? I've been waiting all morning!"
"We've arrived. We just finished our visit." Lin Feng turned his phone camera towards Liu Haochun. "Say hello to Xiao Tian."
"Xiao Tian." Liu Haochun waved at the camera, her cheeks slightly flushed.
"Ah! Haochun!" Tian Xi exclaimed excitedly, "Quickly, let Brother Feng show me around the company! I've never seen it before!"
"What's so interesting about the video? You can watch it yourself when you come during winter break," Lin Feng teased her on purpose.
"No, no!" Tian Xiwei started to whine, drawing out her words, "Brother Feng~ just let me see it for a second, just one second~"
"I give up." Lin Feng shook his head helplessly and went downstairs, taking pictures as he went. "This is the lobby on the first floor. You'll register here when you come in the future. This is the scriptwriting department on the second floor. If you want to act, you'll have to read their scripts first..."
"Wow! This sofa is so soft!" Tian Xiwei's voice came through the receiver. "Haochun, why don't you sit on it and try it!"
Liu Haochun was amused by her and actually sat down on the sofa: "Hmm, it is quite soft."
"By the way, Xiaotian," Lin Feng suddenly said, "Haochun has decided to apply to the Beijing Film Academy. Maybe you'll be classmates or even roommates in the future."
"What?!" Tian Xiwei's voice suddenly rose. "Haochun always wanted to apply to the Beijing Dance Academy, didn't she? When did she change her mind? She didn't even tell me!"
"I only recently figured it out." Lin Feng handed the phone to Liu Haochun. "You can talk to her yourself."
Liu Haochun took the phone, a little embarrassed, and said, "Xiaotian, I just made the decision myself..."
"You're so unfair! You didn't even tell me about something this important!" Tian Xiwei pretended to be angry, then became excited again, "But getting into the Beijing Film Academy is great! Then we can study together and act together!"
"Okay." Liu Haochun nodded with a smile.
"And also," Tian Xiwei continued, "we can go to the library together to save seats, and go see a play together..."
"Alright, stop this endless chatter." Lin Feng took his phone back. "Xiao Tian, didn't you say you had tutoring this afternoon? Go get ready."
"Okay!" Tian Xi pouted slightly. "Then when I go during winter break, Brother Feng, you have to personally show me around and treat me to a big meal!"
"Okay, I'm hanging up."
After hanging up the video call, Liu Haochun looked at Lin Feng with a hint of expectation in his eyes: "Brother Feng, can I really get into the Beijing Film Academy? I heard it's very difficult to get in..."
"Don't worry," Lin Feng said. "Starting this week, you can come to the company every weekend, and I'll have Lao Yang arrange an acting teacher for you to build a foundation. During the winter break, you'll train with Xiao Tian. With our help, you'll definitely be fine."
"Thank you, Brother Feng!" Liu Haochun's eyes were a little red. Although her parents supported her taking the entrance exam for the Beijing Film Academy, they couldn't help her at all. It was Lin Feng who paved the way for her step by step, making her feel that this path was not so difficult to walk.
"Don't be so polite with me." Lin Feng patted her shoulder. "Come on, I'll take you to lunch. There's a really delicious hot pot place near the company."
Li Yitong followed with a smile and whispered to Liu Haochun, "See? I told you following your brother Feng was the right choice, didn't I? Keep up the good work, and the three of us can act together in the future."
