Chapter 253 The Top Circle

"Xiao Xue"

"Director Tian asked you to go to the regiment's office!"

"The office of the regiment?"

In the dormitory, Gong Xue was a little surprised.

What they usually refer to as the troupe headquarters is the headquarters of the General Political Department Art Troupe.

Not their drama troupe.

"Let me tell you, I heard that Lao Yang was called in today and severely criticized. I heard that he scolded him very loudly, as if it was some kind of retaliation, probably because of the self-criticism you wrote."

"Xiaoxue, do you have any background?"

In the dormitory, several female comrades asked at the same time.

Gong Xue looked confused. What kind of background could she have?
and many more?

Lao Yang was criticized?
Is it possible
Thinking of Li Changhe's random questions yesterday, Gong Xue suddenly had some guesses in her mind.

Soon, Gong Xue came to Director Tian's office.

"Comrade Gong Xue, right? Come and sit down."

Director Tian saw Gong Xue and said with a smile.

"Hello, Chief"

Gong Xue immediately greeted softly.

When Director Tian heard her question mark, he felt a little uncomfortable.

It would be strange if he could get better.

"Come on, Comrade Gong Xue, sit down and talk first."

"We already know about your recent experience. To be honest, this is an oversight on our part. I didn't expect that Lao Yang, who has worked for so many years, would still abuse his power for personal gain."

"When Captain Fang and I found out about this, we were both very angry. Captain Fang asked me to express my condolences to you. If you have any requests, you can also raise them with us."

Director Tian spoke gently to Gong Xue.

Gong Xue was a little confused.

Appeal?

Seeing that Gong Xue didn't say anything, Director Tian sighed inwardly.

"Comrade Gong Xue doesn't seem to want to work in the art troupe anymore. I've received an application from Director Wang of the Beijing Film Studio, saying that he wants to transfer you to work at the Beijing Film Studio."

"You want to go there to make a movie, right?"

Director Tian simply stopped playing tricks and asked directly.

Gong Xue was a little surprised when she heard this.

Her brother-in-law just told her to prepare yesterday, but he notified her again today?
Thinking of Li Changhe's question yesterday, Gong Xue boldly said, "Director, it's not that I don't want to be in the art troupe."

"It's just that being an actor has been my childhood dream. It's something I've loved since I was young."

"Hahahaha, it's okay. There's nothing wrong with saying this."

Director Tian smiled and waved his hand.

"The Beijing Film Studio has recruited you several times because they think you have talent."

"Before, I didn't agree, because I thought that you can also make movies in our drama troupe. After all, our drama troupe also has performance tasks and acting teachers."

"But now it seems that there is still a difference between us and the film studio."

"You don't have to feel any psychological burden. Going from our art troupe to the film studio is just a different division of labor in the revolution. We are all contributing to the motherland."

"Okay, I've approved your transfer this time. Go back and prepare, then go through the formalities and report to the Beijing Film Studio tomorrow."

"By the way, Comrade Gong Xue, I'm curious to ask, do you know Comrade Kou Kuige from Peking University?"

At this time, Director Tian handed the approval letter that he had prepared long ago to Gong Xue, and asked casually.

"Ah? I don't know him?"

Gong Xue was a little surprised, but he was from Peking University, so could he be her brother-in-law's classmate?
"Oh, it's okay, go back and clean up."

Director Tian heard this and said with a smile.

After Gong Xue left, Director Tian returned to his desk and looked at the registration form on the table.

This is what he asked for from the guard squad, and it shows the recent record of someone looking for Gong Xue.

There are only two people on the record, Zhu Lin and Li Changhe. One of them is a sister and the other is a brother-in-law.

Coincidentally, this brother-in-law Li Changhe registered using his Peking University ID card.

"Li Changhe?"

Director Tian showed a thoughtful look in his eyes. He seemed to have seen this name somewhere before.

After thinking for a moment, Director Tian picked up the phone on the table and made a call.

"Hello, Professor Zhang, I'm Lao Tian from the General Political Department Art Troupe!"

"Yes, I have something to ask you. Is there a student named Li Changhe in our Peking University?"

Director Tian began to inquire.

Then more than ten minutes later, Director Tian hung up the phone with a pale face.

Wow, Professor Zhang praised Li Changhe for more than ten minutes on the phone.

All in all, it is the glory of Peking University at present.

The most important thing is that this guy is actually the famous writer Ling Jue.

Although Director Tian didn't read many novels, he had heard of Ling Jue, who was considered the most popular writer of the new generation.

Especially the book "The Rise of Great Powers" published some time ago, which is still on his bookshelf.

No wonder the name sounded familiar to him.

Yes, Kou Kuige also seems to have participated in "The Rise of Great Powers"

Director Tian stood up hurriedly at this time, then walked to the bookshelf and took out "The Rise of Great Powers".

Then I looked for the editorial committee on the second page and found it.

Editor-in-chief: Li Changhe! American Edition: Kou Kuige.

That's right! However, Director Tian did not feel the slightest bit of joy at having found the mastermind behind the incident. Instead, he heaved a sigh of relief.

Good thing, it was fortunate that Kou Kuige posted it on the internal military reference.

If Li Changhe published this in national newspapers under the pen name Ling Jue, not only him, but even Captain Fang might be held accountable.

And even if Li Changhe really did that, their General Political Department would have no way to deal with him.

Because Professor Zhang said on the phone that Li Changhe can now be said to be a leading figure among the Class of 77 Peking University students, not just limited to the Department of Economics.

His fame even reached the ears of the highest level, and many people there were paying attention to him.

Such people are destined to spread their wings and fly high as soon as they graduate, and may go directly to work in the most central places.

No wonder Old Wang from Beijing Film Studio called me immediately. The movie produced by Beijing Film Studio some time ago, the one about the college entrance examination, was directed by Li Changhe.

After understanding this guy's identity, Director Tian immediately connected everything.

Alas, thinking of this, Director Tian shook his head.

It would be better not to investigate. In the end, you have to thank others for showing mercy.

On the other side, Gong Xue returned to the dormitory feeling a little dizzy with the transfer order.

"Xiaoxue, you're back?"

"What does the chief want to see you about?"

"What did you get?"

Someone took it curiously and took a look.

"Wow, Xiaoxue, are you going to be transferred to the Beijing Film Studio?"

"Really? Let me see."

As soon as these words were spoken, a group of people in the dormitory gathered around curiously.

"It's really an approved transfer order, and it's not a secondment, it's a direct transfer to the Beijing Film Studio."

"Xiaoxue, you are so amazing, aren't you?"

"Didn't you always not let Xiaoxue leave before? Why this time?"

A group of people started chattering.

Gong Xue also reacted at this time and shook her head: "I don't know either. The director called me over today and told me that he agreed to my transfer for no apparent reason."

She really didn't understand the reason now. After all, Director Tian didn't explain it. He just asked a few questions and then agreed to her transfer.

It sounds like it is related to that classmate Kou from Peking University.

If it's Peking University, then it must be because of my brother-in-law.

Just like the last time she bought the train ticket, she was easily arranged a soft sleeper.

That was the first time in her life that she took a soft sleeper.

She never thought that riding a train could be so comfortable.

Forget it, I'll go to Sister Linlin's house this weekend and ask her and I'll know.

Gong Xue made up her mind and started packing her things.

On Wednesday, at the gate of Xiaoxitian Film Academy, Li Changhe waited for Zhu Lin who was returning by bus.

After getting on the electric bike, Zhu Lin asked Li Changhe, "Changhe, how did you get on with the question about Xiaoxue?"

She is still quite worried about school these days.

Li Changhe knew that his wife would definitely ask.

He smiled and said, "That's right, it's all done!"

"Done?"

After listening to this, Zhu Lin was a little confused.

"When you say it's done, do you mean you've finished asking questions, or?"

"No, it's done. She's probably reported to the Beijing Film Studio now."

"It seems that her director has also been transferred to the projection team."

These days, dismissal is impossible. The most serious punishment is actually transfer to a cold office or a cold bench.

As for the art troupe, the projection team had a more arduous job, as they had to go to small military bases to show movies to the soldiers.

Those bases are usually located in remote areas and the conditions are very average.

Even though Lao Yang is still a leader, compared to sitting comfortably in the office before, having to go to the mountains all the time is already a severe punishment.

These are what Wang Yang told him when he went to Beijing Film Studio this afternoon.

This time, Old Wang actually acted as a peacemaker.

It is said that it was Director Tian of the art troupe who specifically told Wang Yang this and asked him to pass it on to Li Changhe, thanking Li Changhe for showing mercy.

Li Changhe knew that the other party was conveying their attitude to him, meaning that the matter would end here and both sides would not continue to quarrel.

After all, the fact that they could be found on him shows that the people over there are also capable, but they are just not in the right, and Li Changhe took the initiative. They have accepted it and hope that Li Changhe will not hold on to this matter.

Li Changhe naturally told Wang Yang about this and thanked Director Tian for his magnanimity.

"Anyway, that's what happened. We've ended the matter with them. They happily let Xiaoxue go to the Beijing Film Studio."

Li Changhe told Zhu Lin what had happened. After listening, Zhu Lin shook her head.

"Changhe, why is it that things that seem so difficult seem so easy when they come to you?"

To be honest, when Zhu Lin first heard about what happened to Gong Xue, she felt angry but also confused.

The main reason was that she couldn't think of any way to help Gong Xue. Even her own relatives seemed to have nothing to do with the General Political Department.

She told Li Changhe about it with a glimmer of hope, but she never expected that Li Changhe solved the problem in just two days.

The most important thing is, there doesn't seem to be any need for favors from bigwigs or asking for help from big shots.

“Maybe our Peking University is better!”

Li Changhe said with a smile.

Zhu Lin now may not understand what circles are.

The Class of 77 of Peking University represents the top circle, both now and in the future.
