Chapter 13 Professor Xu Mincheng's Duplicity
Life at Yonsei University and the crew's filming was very fulfilling, and before I knew it, it was time to start school.
Jiang Zhaohuan suddenly remembered that he had not yet informed the school about his becoming an actor. Tomorrow happened to be the first day of the new semester, so he had to ask for leave from the crew to deal with academic issues.
But what he didn't expect was that the process of asking for leave was somewhat "twists and turns".
It’s not that Director Lu Shangxun didn’t approve the leave, but they all stared at him with ambiguous expressions.
Zhang Nara even walked to her side with a smile, poked her with her elbow, and teased with a smile on her face:
"Oh my god~ I didn't expect our youngest member to be so capable. Is he going to accompany his girlfriend?"
"girlfriend?"
Jiang Zhaohuan's head was full of question marks as to why his leave was related to his girlfriend.
Besides, I don’t even have anyone I like, let alone a girlfriend.
Xu Renguo thought Jiang Zhaohuan was shy, so he narrowed his eyes and reminded him:
"Do Hwan, actors are not idols, so it's okay to have a relationship."
"Ani, why do you think I'm going there to fall in love?"
"You're going to use your acting skills for this?" Lu Shangxun didn't want to join in the fun. He rolled up the script and tapped Jiang Zhaohuan on the head. "If you have time to do this, think about how to date in a few days!"
Jiang Zhaohuan rubbed his head which didn't hurt at all. He felt that his IQ was not enough.
Why do they all insist that they are going on a date?
Jiang Zhaohuan, who was wrongly accused, felt helpless. He explained:
"I'm really not going on a date and I don't have a girlfriend. I just want to take time off to attend the entrance ceremony."
"Entrance... entrance ceremony?"
"Yes, our school usually starts in the middle of the spring semester."
Jang Nara and others looked suddenly enlightened, it turned out that he was going to school. They thought he took a day off on White Valentine's Day to go on a date with his girlfriend.
This should be the gap between working people and college students.
After finishing the filming task and successfully asking for leave from the director, Kang Do-hwan hailed a taxi and returned to Yonsei University.
He wanted to discuss the credit issue with his professor before school started, to see if there was any chance for him to pursue a career as an actor without dropping out of school.
Jiang Zhaohuan chose to major in dentistry. When he was a child, the thing he feared most was having teeth extracted.
So when his father recommended that he choose a medical-related profession, he decided to become a dentist, which had caused him some psychological trauma in his childhood.
He recalled that during the second anatomy class last semester, the professor bowed deeply to the cadaver on the dissection table.
The moment I lifted the plastic sheet again, the smell of formaldehyde suddenly rushed into my nose.
The muscles of the cadaver teacher before me were completely different from the bright colors on the anatomical atlas.
It is like a rotten dead wood, giving people a double shock both visually and spiritually.
Therefore, he was very focused in every anatomy class after that. After all, cadaver teachers were an extremely scarce and valuable resource, and he could not let down these dedicated teachers.
The taxi slowly stopped at the gate of Yonsei University. Jiang Zhaohuan paid the fare and walked towards the administrative office building where Professor Xu Mincheng was.
He had been here many times before and was familiar with the place.
Jiang Zhaohuan stood at the door of the second office from the left on the third floor and knocked politely.
Wait for the sound from inside before pushing the door open and bow after entering.
Xu Mincheng, who was sorting documents on his desk, pushed up his round-frame glasses. When he saw that the person who came in was Jiang Zhaohuan, his habitual frown relaxed a little and his voice became much gentler:
"Zhao Huan, why did you come to see me suddenly? Is there something wrong?"
Jiang Zhaohuan walked to the desk, and to be honest, he felt a little nervous.
Because he knew that Professor Xu Mincheng was a more traditional type and had always been resistant to the entertainment industry, he was worried that the professor would be angry.
He lowered his head, not daring to look at Xu Mincheng's expression, and told his purpose:
"Professor, I came to you to discuss something. I have signed a contract with JYP Entertainment and have been filming on the set these days, so I want to ask you... can you relax my attendance a little bit?"
The faint smile on Xu Mincheng's lips disappeared instantly. He didn't expect that the student he was very optimistic about would actually go to the entertainment industry to sign a contract to become an actor. Is it possible for him to work as a dentist in the future?
It's impossible!
Thinking of this, he felt a tightness in his chest and his brows furrowed even deeper.
Xu Mincheng was silent for a long time, glanced at Jiang Zhaohuan who lowered his head and dared not speak, and sighed:
"Diaohuan, why did you suddenly want to become an actor?"
Kang Do-hwan honestly told the story of how the talent scout kept digging into him, and also gave a concise summary of the dramatic developments that followed.
He carefully observed Xu Mincheng's expression and asked:
"Professor Nim, so... is it not possible?"
Xu Mincheng glared at Jiang Zhaohuan coldly. He naturally would not blame his students, so he could only curse the employees of JYP Entertainment several times in his heart.
From the company president to the extremely dedicated and clingy scout.
He crossed his arms over his chest and said in a serious tone:
"I will discuss this matter with the principal, but there are prerequisites."
Jiang Zhaohuan originally thought that there was probably no hope, but now that he heard there was a chance, his eyes immediately lit up.
The joy on his face could hardly be suppressed, and he hurriedly asked:
"What conditions?"
"You must maintain your ranking in the top ten in your grade for four semesters. If you fail to meet the standard, you can either choose to come back to class or take a leave of absence."
Jiang Zhaohuan didn't expect the professor to give such a difficult question. Although his grades were good, it would definitely be stressful to maintain his position in the top ten in the grade this time.
He hesitated for a moment, but felt that this was the school's biggest compromise, so he nodded to indicate that he had no problem.
When Xu Mincheng heard Jiang Zhaohuan's affirmative answer, his mood improved a little.
This means that this brat should read books in his free time. If he fails to make a living as an actor in the future, he will choose to be a dentist first.
"Then Professor Nim, I won't disturb your rest."
"Wait a moment."
Jiang Zhaohuan turned around in confusion and saw Xu Mincheng staring at him awkwardly. After a while, he said:
"Remember to tell me the name of the TV series. I want to see what role led you to the path of an actor."
"Yes, I will text you once the premiere date is confirmed."
Jiang Zhaohuan left the administrative office building in a good mood. He didn't expect that the traditional professor would be interested in the TV series he starred in.
As expected, the professor is the type who says one thing and means another.
The school issue was successfully resolved, allowing him to calm down and return to filming.
As soon as Jiang Zhaohuan opened the door of the dormitory, he saw his roommate Gao Zixiang howling like a ghost. He frowned in confusion and walked over to him and asked:
"Zixiang, what are you crazy about?"
"How can I not go crazy when Suzy falls in love? Ahhh, Lee Min Ho, you really are my destined enemy. First it was Park Min Young, and now it's Bae Suzy. Did you save the world in your previous life?!"
Jiang Zhaohuan raised his eyebrows, he calmly took out his mobile phone and searched for the keyword, but he was shocked by the result.
I never thought that the heroine of the scandal would be from JYP Entertainment.
Isn’t that his senior from the same school?
He pretended not to see it and calmly went to the bathroom to wash up.
Sure enough, in less than a minute, Gao Zixiang reacted and shouted:
"Ah! Jiang Zhaohuan! He's your senior in the same company, how come you don't have any news at all!"
Kang Do-hwan, who was removing his makeup, expressed his innocence, saying that he didn't pay much attention to these entertainment news.
Besides, he was just an artist who had just joined the company and was preparing to debut. How could he dare to ask about the affairs of his seniors?
He thought of Brother Zhong Sheng, who was very kind to him, and guessed that the company's publicity department would be in chaos again.
