Huang Tian Xiang was stunned for a second and said honestly, “I want to study architecture in the future.”
“Architecture?” Qi Le An was surprised, “Are you going abroad?”
Perhaps it was because he was talking about his dream, Huang Tian Xiang’s face was glowing when he said that, “Well, I want to go to the United Kingdom to study architecture. I want to get a bachelor’s degree first, and then return to China to work for a year, then I will go back to the UK for a master’s degree.”
For the first time, Qi Le An knew that his deskmate had such a clear plan for the future. He was both curious and jealous, “That’s an amazing plan, but why do you want to work for a year before you get your master’s degree?”
Huang Tian Xiang smiled and explained to Qi Le An that the Royal Institute of British Architects required all candidates to have a year of work experience. It was only when the bell rang that Huang Tian Xiang changed the topic and said with a little emotion, “But I heard it’s very difficult… I wonder if I can get it.”
This class was History. This was the first time Qi Le An’s mind kept drifting away in History class. Huang Tian Xiang was usually very quiet, but when he talked about what he wanted to do in the future, his whole face would just glow. Qi Le An had rarely received formal education due to his trainee contract with Glory in his previous life, so he cherished his school life in this life.
But no one led him to have no clear plan for the future. What Mr. Luo said this day was like a huge wake-up call, he knew he needed to have a plan.
Going to university was definitely what he wanted to do! Hai City Academy and B City’s film academy were all first-class schools in China. If he wanted to achieve his goals in performance, then he should put the focus of his studies on the literary sects…
As a reborn person, Qi Le An deeply knew that the film and television market would become bigger and bigger in the future. One day, a tycoon from the biggest real estate company would acquire Legendary Movies. Chinese actors would have more and more opportunities to work with Hollywood crew, and English was too important for that.
After thinking about his future for half of the class, Qi Le An finally decided that he would go to the English class in the second year of high school.
Even though his level was too bad now and he might not be able to keep up with the progress when he went there, he still wanted to try!
Although Qi Le An still didn’t have a more detailed plan for the future, he decided on his next choice, for the time being, so he became much happier. After he got home, he bought several books of the Bookworm series, and he downloaded VPN. He decided to browse foreign websites to learn every day.
After having a plan for his studies and future, Qi Le An seemed to be happy. A week later, the scandal about Weibo passed. Chen Shan also said that he had come into contact with one of the senior executives of Weibo. After he expressed his intention, the senior executive said he would like to meet Qi Le An soon.

Qi Le An jumped for joy when he heard that. On the last weekend of May, he and Chen Shan went to see He Zi Ming, the senior executive of Weibo’s publicity department.
When he saw He Zi Ming, Qi Le An was stunned. He thought that since He Zi Ming was a senior executive, he should be at least thirty or forty years old, but He Zi Ming looked like he was only in his twenties, the black frame glasses added graceful bearing to his appearance.
He Zi Ming reached out his hand on seeing Qi Le An, he said happily, “Hello! I am He Zi Ming, the deputy director of the publicity department.
Qi Le An had heard from Chen Shan last night that there had been a huge turnover of staff in Weibo this month. The position of director of the publicity department was vacant. He Zi Ming e was now basically the ‘boss’ in the entire publicity department and was also the first person to promote celebrities to open accounts on Weibo.
Qi Le An smiled and shook hands with He Zi Ming. “Hello, I’m Qi Le An, so nice to meet you.”
He Zi Ming looked at Qi Le An and said happily, “This is the first time I’ve seen a celebrity! You look even younger than you look on TV. By the way, are you still a student?”
He Zi Ming looked so approachable, he didn’t look like a bossy ‘Party A’, and he didn’t play according to the rules at all. Qi Le An was so impressed, and he couldn’t help but feel so close to He Zi Ming and said, “Yes, I just finished my final exam.”
He Zi Ming laughed and continued to dig into the topic, “Are you in the international department of No. 1 High School?”
Qi Le An nodded. He wondered if He Zi Ming brought that up to ask him whether his classmates liked Weibo. The next second, He Zi Ming said, “What a coincidence! I also went to the international department of No. 1 High School!”
Qi Le An’s eyes widened! ‘He is my senior schoolmate!’
He Zi Ming nodded, “After graduating, I went to America to study. I did my bachelor’s degree and master’s degree in America, I haven’t visited the teachers since I graduated. By the way, do you know a math teacher called Luo Jianyuan?
“Mr. Luo is my headteacher!” Qi Le An exclaimed.
He Zi Ming didn’t expect it to be so coincidental. He shouted, “Really? Old Luo now is a headteacher! He was a young graduate when he was my math teacher!”
Qi Le An, “…”
The two of them talked about the international department for half an hour. In the end, He Zi Ming felt like he should talk business instead of his old school even though he would love to talk more about the teachers and the changes that had taken place over the years, “I have to visit Mr. Luo soon! I need to have a look at the school by myself!”
During the conversation, Qi Le An also learned that He Zi Ming graduated from a top world-famous university in America. He did a news major, and he did a second degree about the internet!

“…In short, I think there is a bit of rigidity inside now. We need some fresh content to attract young people.” Perhaps He Zi Ming felt close to Qi Le An already, he was very honest when he analyzed the shortcomings inside Weibo.
Qi Le An didn’t know which stage Weibo now was at, but he knew that this platform would dominate the market soon, so he said, “I think Weibo has a bright future!”
He Zi Ming’s eyes sparkled on hearing that, and he kept on talking about the future and development of Weibo. In the end, he changed the topic and said, “But Chen Shan should have warned you already. We haven’t been doing well recently.”
Chen Shan, as Qi Le An’s manager, was supposed to be here with him for this meeting. But just as the two of them set off, he got a call from the housekeeper saying that his mother had fainted and went to the hospital. After Chen Shan drove Qi Le An to the agreed location, he went to the hospital.
Qi Le An nodded, “I’ve heard of that… but I don’t think it’s going to last long, Weibo will have its comeback soon.” Speaking of this, Qi Le An smiled and said, “I’m not an A-list celebrity, and I’m still just a student, I have to juggle my studies with my work… Chances are I cannot work full time for a long time, but I will try my best to promote Weibo.”
Even with the help of Wei Chang Feng, Qi Le An was only a starlet now. To achieve the goal of the best spokesman for a brand like Weibo, he still had a long way to go.
He Zi Ming had analyzed Qi Le An before he agreed to organize a meeting with him, so he calmly said, “Yes, in fact, we didn’t consider you at first. Compared to a starlet like you, a famous star would attract more attention from the fans.
He Zi Ming then paused for a moment, he smiled and said, “It can only be said that it is a coincidence. All things considered, we find you a perfect match for our brand so I hope we can get in touch with you.”
He Zi Ming got a bit emotional when he spoke of this. At first, Weibo was founded by a group of aspiring young people who wanted to build a different platform. But some people in the management saw the potential in this project and they wanted to snatch the fruit, therefore, the team was suppressed, causing the platform to take a huge detour. And the management had abandoned them when the scandal broke out!
The team found them in an awkward position, they didn’t have enough funds to afford their development on the software and the endorsement fee to invite a big star to promote their brand at the same time.
Thinking of this, He Zi Ming couldn’t help but glance at Qi Le An who was sitting at the other side of the desk. When he knew that Qi Le An was still willing to contact them and promote them, he was touched.
However, this is a big deal for him and the whole team, they were counting on this endorsement to have their comeback. It was him who had suggested they should invite stars to endorse them in the first place He Zi Ming chose to meet Qi Le An before they made it official.
This was not a simple commercial deal for him anymore.
After meeting Qi Le An, he knew this was the right move! So what Qi Le An was still a starlet! So what if he was still in school! He Zi Ming had faith in this young man from this meeting they just had, this Qi Le An will make great achievements in the future!
“He Ge, I would love to work with Weibo,” Qi Le An said with a smile, “Thank you for choosing me.”
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. They knew they could count on each other now, and all they needed to do was to make sure their companies do their follow-up.
Although Chen Shan went to the hospital in a hurry, he contacted the driver who took care of Qi Le An when he went to B City to prepare for his exam. After Qi Le An left the office building of Weibo, he got into the driver’s car.
“An, are you going home or?” The driver was a friendly middle-aged man. He had been Qi Le An’s driver for half a semester now and the two of them were very familiar.
Qi Le An hesitated for a moment and said, “I’ll give Chen Ge a call first.” On Chinese New Year’s Eve, Mrs. Chen even reminded Chen Shan to give him a red packet for good luck. She made longevity noodles for him on his birthday. Even though they had never met, Qi Le An had already felt the long-lost maternal love from Chen Shan’s mother.
Chen Shan left in a hurry, Qi Le An had no idea how Mrs. Chen was doing now.
The driver nodded and pulled over by the curb.
Qi Le An called Chen Shan and Chen Shan immediately picked up. Hearing Qi Le An’s inquiry, Chen Shan’s tone suddenly became strange, “It’s nothing big. I will see you tomorrow, you don’t have to come over. Go back home and write your homework.”
Qi Le An squinted his eyes, ‘Chen Shan tends to ask me to write my homework when he doesn’t know what to say to me, but he sounds so strange over the phone, is everything okay like he said?’
Qi Le An asked the driver to drive home, wondering what was going on. Even when he was writing his homework, he couldn’t help but check Chen Shan’s Weibo posts to see if there were any clues. However, Chen Shan’s last Weibo update was from a month ago…
He was so curious but there was nothing he could do. And he finally understood why Chen Shan sounded so strange when he visited him the next day!
Chen’s mother suddenly fainted because she hadn’t had any good rest recently! But the doctor found that Chen Shan’s mother was pregnant after he did some check-ups!
In other words, Chen Shan would be an elder brother soon!
