Chapter 221: Chapter 221: Léon: The Professional

"I’m heading back first."

Yu Sui snatched the snack bucket from Wu Xuehan’s hands and dashed away in a flash.

After a while, Wu Xuehan finally came to her senses from the "devastating news," anxiously looking at Tang Li: "Ah Li, you were just joking earlier, right?"

"Whether I was joking or not, you’ll find out in tomorrow’s class."

If Yu Sui became Tang Li’s assistant, she definitely wouldn’t be attending classes anymore.

Wu Xuehan felt like she had been deceived.

It was her who had previously hinted to Yu Sui that IMG might be recruiting assistants for Ah Li; no wonder the very next day several teachers warned her simultaneously that her failure to attend classes would result in her repeating the year. It turned out she "invited the wolf into the house" and was even helping this wolf count the money!

Tang Li saw Wu Xuehan taking out her cellphone and asked her, "What are you doing?"

"I’m going to complain to the teachers too." Wu Xuehan pursed her lips tightly: "I’m also going to send a complaint email to IMG, strongly condemning them. How could they hire a pompous second-year student as your assistant?"

Saying this, Wu Xuehan’s shoulders slumped: "I almost forgot, her uncle is a leader in the faculty; there’s no way I can win against her."

She then turned to look at Tang Li again.

"What are you looking at me for?"

"I heard many celebrities mistreat their assistants."

Wu Xuehan gave a shy smile.

Tang Li: "..."

Thinking this, Wu Xuehan felt a bit better: "Ah Li, you must be as merciless and cruel to her as winter. If she’s not well-fed, make sure not to share your lunchbox with her."

After Wu Xuehan went to the bathroom to take a shower, Tang Li picked up the cellphone again.

The cellphone screen displayed the message that she had edited earlier.

After hesitating, she chose to send it.

[Are you busy right now?]

After the message was successfully sent, Tang Li looked at the text content again and suddenly felt a bit pretentious.

Song Baiyan isn’t an unemployed idler.

On the contrary, he is very busy; he doesn’t have the time to deal with her.

Would her constant texting annoy him?

People of his status don’t seem to like texting; compared to phone calls, it seems a waste of time and inefficient.

Not long after, the cellphone buzzed.

Song Baiyan replied: "Not busy, what’s up?"

Just as Tang Li was about to respond, another new message came in: "It seems today’s audition was successful."

This message carried an adult’s distinctive tone.

Tang Li didn’t want to lie: "No, the director said I didn’t fit the role of the female lead."

Song Baiyan didn’t reply to the message.

In less than two minutes, the phone began to vibrate.

Seeing the caller ID, Tang Li clutched her cellphone tightly, then she pressed the answer button and brought the phone to her ear: "Hello?"

Nervousness lowered her voice.

From the earpiece came Song Baiyan’s familiar voice: "Did the audition not go well? Feeling down?"

"...No, I’m not feeling down." she explained.

However, her cautious tone wasn’t very convincing. Then she heard Song Baiyan say: "A bit of adversity in life isn’t bad. Things being too smooth can actually be detrimental in the long run."

"But kids shouldn’t suffer too much damage."

Her implied meaning—

It was you who said I am young, children should be protected.

Song Baiyan understood her "retort," chuckled, and then said: "You indeed are still young, the adult world is quite far from you."

Tang Li suddenly asked: "Have you ever watched ’Léon: The Professional’?"

Without waiting for Song Baiyan to respond, she continued: "It’s about a professional killer protecting his neighbor. If you haven’t watched it, you should give it a try."
