Chapter 1217 truly knows who to flatter.
On January 15th, Peking University began its winter break.
The girls in dormitory 306, except for Su Xing, have all booked their plane or train tickets home for the next two days.
In the evening, everyone gathered for dinner and ate hot pot.
Gao Yang said, "It's freezing cold today! But it's perfect for hot pot and beer!"
Su Xing waved to the waiter, "Hello, a dozen beers, please."
Pei Shiqi held her glass of freshly squeezed juice, wrinkled her nose, and said, "You guys should drink less."
Zhang Caifeng said, "Don't worry, we won't get drunk."
Pei Shiqi let out two "humphs" through her nose. She wasn't worried that her roommates were drunk; they were quite self-controlled.
She disliked them because they smelled bad from drinking!
Su Xing looked obediently at him, "We won't breathe on you..."
“…” Pei Shiqi rolled her eyes.
If I don't breathe directly into her, will she not be able to smell it?
However, she's the only one in the dorm who gets drunk easily, so she can't drink and doesn't want to spoil the fun for everyone, so never mind...
The waiter served them drinks.
Gao Yang took the bottle and opened three bottles first.
Then everyone raised their glasses.
Pei Shiqi playfully raised her juice glass.
Gao Yang said, "This should be our last get-together this year. Everyone, eat and drink well, have fun when you get back, and have a good New Year. Let's get together again next year! I hope that everyone will be even better next year!"
"Next year will be even better!"
The four of them clinked glasses and toasted!
……
The next day, in dormitory 306, apart from Su Xing, the other three girls left Beijing and went home.
Zhang Xueyan and Huang Wenwen haven't gone home either.
The studio still had things to do, so like Su Xing, they would arrive in H City later.
The second volume of "The Spiritual Path of Opera" has been completed, and the third volume has begun serialization.
The publication of the second volume is already on the agenda, and the cooperating publisher is still the Beijing Comic Strip Publishing House.
Su Xing held a meeting with everyone and decided that the novel "The Spiritual Path of Opera" would officially end when the third volume was finished.
And, it's time to start brainstorming new comics.
She plans to paint a tea-related subject for her next work.
Huang Wenwen said with a bitter face, "But I know nothing about tea..."
In the past two years, she has only had the opportunity to drink some good tea thanks to Su Xing, but most of the time she just drinks it casually and can't really say anything meaningful about it.
Although she had read some popular science articles on Su Xing's Weibo, she only knew the most basic six categories of tea.
Zhang Xueyan pushed up her glasses and said, "I believe you can do it. You didn't know anything about opera before."
Su Xing said, "Don't worry, I'm here. As for the plot, I can work with you to come up with ideas. As for tea, you do need to learn more about it. I'll give you a lesson when I have time, and then I'll get you more tea samples to taste so you can understand their flavor, properties, and components."
Huang Wenwen: "..."
She slumped limply onto the table like a slug.
What should I do if I really want to give up...?
Seeing Huang Wenwen being forced into this state by Su Xing and Zhang Xueyan, some of the studio staff couldn't help but smirk.
Su Xing glanced at everyone in the conference room and said, "You are the same. As storyboard artists, line artists, assistant illustrators, assistant screenwriters, post-production staff... you need to participate in the creation of comics, learn about related knowledge, and drink more tea and learn more about tea."
The studio staff were speechless.
This time, there's no need to laugh at Huang Wenwen; everyone's expression is pretty much the same as hers.
Seeing so many people keeping her company, Huang Wenwen immediately perked up again.
She smiled, clenched her fist, and cheered, "Let's all do our best!"
Everyone: "..."
Su Xing said, "Don't worry, the tea will be free, and we won't make you work overtime. I'll only teach you for half an hour to an hour each day. If I'm not in the studio, I'll teach you in my spare time. I'll select the best students and give them a big bonus."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately sat up straight.
"Okay, boss, I promise I'll learn well!"
"I will study hard too!"
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
"That's great?" Huang Wenwen's eyes sparkled even brighter. Studying was a piece of cake; she was never afraid of studying!
Zhang Xueyan glanced at her and said, "You don't count. You can't compete with the employees for bonuses."
Huang Wenwen retorted, "Why?!"
Zhang Xueyan said, "Because you are a shareholder and one of the owners."
Given Huang Wenwen's learning ability, if we really include her, the bonus is definitely hers; the other employees can forget about getting it.
The employees then realized that all three bosses were top students from Peking University! If Huang Wenwen were included, there wouldn't be any bonus for them!
"Mr. Zhang is right!"
"Mr. Huang, you're so capable, please let us have a turn..."
Huang Wenwen climbed back onto the table, resigned to her fate, "Fine, fine..."
……
January 17th is a Sunday, which is also the Laba Festival.
In the afternoon, Su Xing and He Xu returned to the He family's old house together.
Grandpa He said it had been a long time since he'd seen Bu Diu, so they took Bu Diu with them back with them.
This year, not many members of the He family returned.
He Xu's parents, surprisingly, returned.
And then there's Ye Xitang, who didn't go to her grandparents' house today, but came to her maternal grandparents' house instead.
After Su Xing and He Xu entered the house, they first greeted the elders and then greeted Ye Xitang.
He Xu's mother, Tang Min, waved to Su Xing, "Xiao Xing, sit here."
Su Xing smiled and sat down next to her, "Auntie."
Everyone sat together and chatted.
Bu Diu was very perceptive; it knew that Grandpa He liked it the most, so it went over and put its muzzle on Grandpa He's leg.
Ye Xitang laughed and said, "This dog really knows who to flatter..."
Grandpa He smiled and stroked the big dog's head, saying, "Our country dogs are the most intelligent and understanding."
He Xu's father laughed and said, "This dog, after being raised for a long time, can understand everything and can read people's expressions."
Grandma He said, "Our dog is smarter than most dogs."
Bu Diu raised his head, stuck out his tongue, and grinned.
He Xu laughed and said, "If you praise it any more, it will really get proud."
Everyone laughed.
Ye Xitang suddenly said, "I'm going to join a production soon to play a cameo role as the fourth female lead. I'll be having scenes with a dog actor. I wonder if that dog is smart enough."
Su Xing said, "Dogs that can become actors must be very intelligent."
Dinner is served.
Everyone moved to the restaurant and enjoyed a pleasant dinner.
