A great director who grew up happily

Chapter 322 Lively Boys' Dormitory

On the final exam day after New Year's Day, Chen Jinnian arrived at the boys' dormitory early, pushed the door open, and scared the three people in the dormitory.

"Oh my god, the big director is back, but could you please push the door slowly?" Li Haochen said, holding a utility knife. He almost cut his hand because of a shiver just now.

"Oh, I've already been gentle enough. You guys are just guilty as thieves. What are you busy with?"

Chen Jinnian closed the dormitory door and walked over curiously.

The exam is about to start, but the three of them are not looking at each other. Instead, they get together to play origami. They are so free.

Li Haochen rummaged through the messy table and found a stack of printed paper, handing it to him. "Brother, that's really nice of you. You're thinking of me even when I'm cheating. I've already printed out the key points the teacher highlighted on the paper. You can work on them yourself."

Chen Jinnian took it and looked at it. He saw four vertical rows of ink blocks printed in the upper left corner of the printed paper, which looked like four rectangular ink blocks. If you look closely, you can make out that these ink blocks are made up of densely packed words.

"You're all busy with this?"

"Well, use a knife to cut out the contents of the cheat sheet, then use transparent tape to connect the ends to form a strip of cheat sheet. Finally, fold it in half to form a booklet like this. Just hide it in the palm of your hand during the exam and copy it."

Zhou You showed the finished product to Chen Jinnian, who took it and flipped through it with his fingers. The way the pages were turned was similar to that of a memorial, but it was much smaller, even smaller than a one-inch photo. As long as one was careful, it would be difficult to find if hidden in the palm of one's hand or in one's sleeve.

"I really admire you guys. When I came in from outside, I saw the lights on in the nearby dormitories. Are they all preparing for this thing?"

"Not necessarily." Li Haochen shook his head. "Does everyone have a unified format? The more meticulous ones would stick the notes on wide tape, then throw it in water to wash off the paper pulp, leaving only the ink printed on the transparent tape. The more adventurous ones would edit the notes and put them into a smartwatch."

"The worst is using your phone to cheat. That's a terrible method. My senior told us that anyone who cheats with their phone is always caught, but few people do that these days." Jiang Zhongce finished speaking and patted Zhou You beside him. "Take a look at my cheat sheet."

After Zhou You finished checking it, he shook his head. "It's all crooked and twisted. You've covered up the seams. And in these places, how did you fold it in the middle? You've smudged the ink."

"What should I do? I have already made two bad copies and they are gone now. Besides, the copy shop is closed at this time." Jiang Zhongce said anxiously.

"I'll give you mine, I don't need it." Chen Jinnian threw the "information" in his hand to Jiang Zhongce.

Jiang Zhongce looked at the printed paper in his hand in surprise, "Don't you need to take the exam?"

"You're kidding! Why would I go back to school if I don't have exams? It's just that I've memorized all the key points the teacher marked for the exam, so I don't need cheat sheets."

"What, you have memorized so much content?" Li Haochen looked up at him in shock. Everyone was extremely excited about the final exam, but Chen Jin said in a youthful and pretentious manner that he had memorized it.

"A lot? I think it's okay. I'll remember it after reading it twice."

"Damn, if I could memorize something after reading it twice, then why would I need cheat sheets?"

Li Haochen was muttering angrily, and suddenly, he remembered that the other party had been admitted with a score of 700, the highest score in the school. He felt relieved immediately. How could he compare with such a beast? He should just make his own cheat sheets well.

Jiang Zhongce was too busy cheating to bother with it. He quickly moved a stool for Chen Jinnian to sit on and patted his shoulder ingratiatingly. "Brother, I'll sit next to you during the exam. If it's convenient, let me take a look."

"Aren't there seating arrangements for the exam?" Chen Jinnian asked.

"We don't need to reserve seats. We're not high school students." Jiang Zhongce continued to massage his shoulders and asked caringly, "Brother, how's the strength?"

"Well, that's just right. It seems that you are usually well trained by your girlfriend."

As soon as he finished saying this, Jiang Zhongce pushed him hard, but Zhou You and Li Haochen didn't hold back and laughed instantly, with extremely happy laughter.

"Hahaha, you might not know yet, but on New Year's Day at Zhongce, I was cheated on by a guy from Guangyuan."

"Li Haochen, I'm going to strangle you to death, shut up!" Jiang Zhongce grabbed Li Haochen's neck and dragged him to the bed, ravaging him. "How many times have I told you, I wasn't cheated on, I was the one who kicked her out, do you understand? Ahhhhh."

"Even if you strangle me to death today, it's still you being cheated on. This is God's retribution for you. Those who cheat on others will always be cheated on. Hahahaha."

Li Haochen protected his face with his hands. Although he was temporarily at a disadvantage, he was extremely stubborn and refused to change his mind.

The one who plays the most extravagantly in their dormitory is not the social maniac Li Haochen, but the seemingly honest and loyal Jiang Zhongce. He has always been surrounded by romantic partners and is very good at dealing with girls. But now he has failed and been fooled by his girlfriend who is more skilled than him.

Chen Jinnian was happy to watch the show with Zhou You.

When he was filming, he did not give any major roles to his classmates, for fear that they would say one thing to his face and another behind his back. Chen Jinnian knew that the director's biggest enemy was not censorship, but the actors.

Every year, a large number of dramas cannot be released due to actor scandals, especially those with legal celebrities. The endings can only be left to be broadcast and there is no chance of them being released. All the investment behind them is wasted.

"Zhou You, they do this all the time."

"That's about right. If there's a chance to kick someone when he's down, Haochen won't let him go." Zhou You finished speaking, then lowered his voice and continued, "I even suspect Zhongce is being cheated on, and Haochen is behind it, just to give Zhongce's ex a stab."

"What? There are also such melons."

"I'm just guessing, so please don't spread rumors." Seeing that the two were still arguing, Zhou You continued to reveal the inside information, "Haochen's girlfriend and Zhongce's ex-ex were best friends in the same dormitory. When Zhongce cheated on his ex-ex, it almost got him into trouble, causing Haochen to break up as well."

Chen Jinnian's pupils trembled slightly. He didn't expect that there was such a tangle of love and hate. He regretted not coming to class for a semester and missed so many good things.

After waiting for a while, he was afraid that the two would get angry and start fighting, so he and Zhou You kicked them both off and said, "You two should hurry up and get your cheat sheets, the exam is at 8 o'clock."

"I'm warning you, keep your mouth shut and don't go out and tell anyone."

"Didn't you say that you weren't cheated on? Then what are you afraid of?" Li Haochen said with a smile.

"You..." Jiang Zhongce, knowing that he was in the wrong, couldn't argue with him, "I'm too lazy to bother with you. Zhou You, help me with the cheat sheets. I'll go out and buy you breakfast." After saying that, he put on his coat, grabbed the lighter on the windowsill and went out.

If there are conflicts in the boys' dormitory but they still maintain a superficial harmony, the girls' dormitory is a completely different scene. It is completely divided and the factions do not talk to each other.

Wang Yidi felt isolated as soon as he entered the dormitory. There was a pile of miscellaneous items on his bed, and he couldn't find a stool. There was no place to sit.
