Memory was like a storyteller, with an accent of one's native place.

In "Star Institute", the biggest star was An Zidong. Because of his existence, the students who were not very familiar with each other had more communication. If they accidentally met a student from the same place, they undoubtedly couldn't be more enthusiastic!

"Alright! Quiet down, students!"

The first person on stage in the afternoon was Xiao Chuhong, who had changed into a black knee-length gauze skirt. The difference between the print of the gauze and the skirt made up a complex and layered pattern. In comparison, the dress in the morning was less charming but more casual and easygoing, which made her look more amiable.

Xiao Chuhong pressed her hands down, and the students immediately fell silent.

"I believe that after the morning introduction, everyone knows who I am!" She smiled, "Anyway, I don't want to introduce myself again. That would make me look silly."

The students below the stage also laughed for a while, livening the solemn atmosphere in the classroom.

"That's right! I am Star Institute's dean. I can also be said to be the principal, Teacher Xiao. Thank you for your kindness. Everyone is used to calling me Teacher Xiao, so you can call me that from now on.

The boring school opening ceremony in the morning has finally ended. Those are for outsiders to see. The afternoon is our own time!" Her words immediately closed the distance between her and the students, who burst into laughter and boos for a while.

"We will get down to business this afternoon! In addition to telling you about the basic school rules and regulations, I also want to chat with you. Everyone has come from afar, hoping to learn something, and I also hope to manage the school well so that every student can grow and transform here.

But I have to be blunt first. If you don't listen to me and get punished, don't cry! Anyway, if you cry, I won't comfort you." After she finished speaking, the student below laughed again.

"I don't have a kid yet, but I can feel parents' caring for their children. But you don't come here to have fun. You know, in society, there are many hardships. If you don't experience it now, you have to encounter it later. So - are you afraid of hardship?"

"Yes!"

"Teacher Xiao, I am not!"

The students below replied enthusiastically. Xiao Chuhong did not stop them and continued to guide the topic.

"No matter if you are afraid or not, you will have to suffer if you come here! But we have to believe that every bit of hardship we suffer today will be doubled with rewards in the future. Moreover, you are not alone!" Xiao Chuhong stopped smiling. Her tone was not serious but no longer funny.

"While you are practicing, the instructors will be there, and so will I and the other staff. When you are resting at night, maybe we are still in a meeting, and they are still working! Therefore, the little suffering you have was really nothing."

Moreover, as long as you stay in Star Institute for a day, you will have to suffer for a day. I've told you in advance that if you can't suffer, you can leave now. No one will laugh at you. But after tonight, if you want to complain to me alone in the future, please save it. I'm not free!

After today, if anyone really can't persist in the future, it will be fine. I also understand. You just have to tell me and the teacher leading the team. I can directly approve your leaving. I will definitely not say any more words.

However, please think about it before leaving. Why did you come here? Once you walk out of the school gate, other than graduation, there is no possibility of you coming back. I promise with my own personality that I will do what I said above!

All right. Before starting, I want to ask you if anyone needs to quit?" Xiao Chuhong looked around. No one raised their hands, and no one stood up. Every student looked at her with firm eyes. She nodded happily.

"Since no one quit, then you must go all out in your studies from now on!

Then let's start the first thing this afternoon - studying the school rules." Behind Xiao Chuhong was the blackboard, but she had no intention of writing on it.

"First, you have to gather here at 7 o'clock every morning. We can only have breakfast after morning practice. If someone is late, the training time will be increased by half an hour!"

Originally, I wanted to cancel the call service. Considering that you are still young and unfamiliar with everything here, the staff will provide call service for the first month, but remember, it is only for one month!"

After the morning exercise, the students had to go back to wash up. During this period, there would be additional transportation fees, but for the sake of the final training results, Xiao Chuhong still readily approved it.

"After washing up, you have 20 minutes to eat breakfast, after which you have 10 minutes to clean up the room. After you go downstairs, I will arrange for the staff to check. As for anyone who doesn't do well, I will invite him to talk in the afternoon.

There is only one basic training class in the morning, and also one technical class in the afternoon, but you will occasionally have homework after classes. There were generally no classes at night, but students are forbidden to go out privately. If you have to go out, you have to leave as a group of more than five or invite the life teachers together. Of course, there will be recording staff following all the way.

You will have morning exercise for the first few days, but we won't have classes first, or rather, we won't have formal classes first. I prepared some programs for you, which can help you get familiar with each other quickly and get used to the learning environment. I hope you will like it." seeing Xiao Chuhong on the stage with a warm smile, Feng Yufei inexplicably felt a chill on the back.

"Second: I will not take away your phones and other communication devices, provided that you are not allowed to take them out of the hotel during class. Also, please do not use rest time to make phone calls, otherwise, I will consider managing your phones together.

Third, you have to respect your instructors. If you have any opinions, please hold them back and talk about them later.

Fourth. don't let me find out you dating."

"Haha!" This time, not only the students but even the staff holding the camera next to them were amused.

"The school has provided you with three life teachers. Later, they will go up to the stage one by one to introduce themselves. You need to remember their phone numbers. If there is a problem that you can't solve by yourself, you need to ask the life teacher for help immediately.

There will be a bonfire party tonight. The ingredients have already been prepared, but the quality of the dinner needs to be controlled by yourselves. Remember one principle: do not take more than you can eat in the school. It is strictly forbidden to waste food! Tonight, I will party with you. There is no beer but enough drinks!"

Xiao Chuhong's introduction to school rules had come to an end. Then, she brought the three life teachers to chat with the students. However, she was the one guiding the entire process. The introverted students did not talk much. The main topic was still in her hands, with a quite lively scene.

At the evening bonfire party, there were eight people in a group. Xiao Chuhong used the method of reporting numbers from 1 to 8 to form a group. Students with the same number came out to form a group.

Feng Yufei sighed at the side. As expected, the tricks in the city were really everywhere. The students who knew each other would have joined the same group together. With such a group division, the people grouped at night were all strangers. The students could only cooperate with strange partners to finish the barbecue.

How could these new students expect that today was the first step to entering the school, with still many more days like this in the future!

After parting with the three newbies, Pan Yumei got on the plane, found a seat, and quickly put on her blindfold to rest.

Since You Ruohan's death, she had not relaxed for a moment. You Ruohan had deceived everyone, given birth to Feng Yufei, and committed suicide for no reason. Although she did not know why, as the manager closest to You Ruohan, she could not escape the blame. After getting the work at Star Institute done, she knew what the company would do to her.

You Ruohan was cultivated by Zhang Ji. She and several other stars supported Xingyun Entertainment in the early stage. As the company grew stronger and stronger, Zhang Ji's status also rose, soon reaching the management level. After entering the company's core circle, even if Zhang Ji did not want to, he had to give up the position as You Ruohan's manager. He focused on developing the company for higher benefits and development.

At that time, Pan Yumei, who was You Ruohan's assistant, took over as You Ruohan's manager under the guidance of Zhang Ji. Thinking back, she had stepped on a group of assistants and managers to stand by You Ruohan's side at that time, which was truly an endless glory!

Many people in the company had complained about Pan Yumei. They thought that she was just lucky to have picked up a big opportunity behind Zhang Ji. Even though You Ruohan's career was rising steadily in her hands, there were still many doubts about her in private. Many people felt that if You Ruohan were handed over to them, they would definitely do better than her.

Little did they know that in this world, there were only self-deception and no fools. For a capable, rich, and resourceful actress like You Ruohan, once Pan Yumei could not keep up with her, the first one to be kicked away was definitely her.

After You Ruohan died, Pan Yumei's good days came to an end. Zhang Ji barely suppressed the voices in the company and kept her job, but he did not keep her future.

In the past, she had five stars in her hands. In addition to You Ruohan, there were four second-tier stars. These four were all given to her by the company when they were still newcomers. She used the resources given up by You Ruohan to develop these four from trainees to the second tier.

After You Ruohan's accident, the company quickly transferred the contract of these four people. Worthy of her many years of teaching, they were quite good at judging the situation and breaking up with her as quickly as possible.

You Ruohan's incident revealed that Pan Yumei had a major flaw in the management of her stars and a serious dereliction of duty. Therefore, she had no one to train other than newcomers. But most of the newcomers were unwilling to join her. As a result, she currently only had Feng Yufei.

An Zidong and Liu Sisi were only temporarily under her name during the "Star Institute". When the company recruited a suitable manager, their contracts would be handed over.

According to the evaluation of the potential of stars given by the company, the three people's abilities were very uneven, with each having its own pros and cons. According to the test results, the one with the best potential was undoubtedly Feng Yufei. However, what Zhang Ji said before leaving completely extinguished the little flame that had just been ignited.

Xingyun Entertainment did not raise idle people. One day, if none of her stars were successful, she could only pack up and leave. Once a manager like her with a "criminal record" went out, it would be very difficult to find a job. Another thing was that the industry did not have a high opinion of her. They generally thought that she was lucky with average ability. If not for Zhang Ji and You Ruohan, others would not even look at her.

Pan Yumei's ability was considered great among the Chinese managers. It was just that Zhang Ji was too powerful and covered up all her talents. Moreover, it seemed that Zhang Ji intentionally weakened her influence on You Ruohan's work in the circle, causing people inside and outside the company to look at her very differently.

Pan Yumei was very confused as to whether Zhang Ji was guarding against her or tempering her.

She did not dare to think too much about some things, nor did she want to do so. The more she thought about it, the colder her heart became. Perhaps, she really should give up on that man.

She had to admit that Zhang Ji had too many tricks. Having worked together for many years, she still could not understand him.

When there was no answer, Pan Yumei could only take one step at a time.

If it really didn't work out, giving up was also a good choice. In any case, she had earned enough money these years. If she spent it wisely, she could barely make it in this lifetime.

Pan Yumei was startled by this sudden thought.

Was she under too much pressure recently, otherwise how could she have the idea of giving up at such a young age?

Or was it that Zhang Ji's actions during this time had completely chilled her heart?

That man, who was both a teacher and a friend with the light of the sun, had never belonged to her. Now, she did not even want to look up to him.

Life and hardships would indeed wear down a lot of emotions and patience, no wonder they would end up in such a miserable way!

In Star Institute, they had already divided the groups. Unfortunately, five girls were in Feng Yufei's group, including Li Muqing and Jin Qiaoqiao.

The most troublesome thing to deal with in the barbecue materials was chives. Difficulty could unite people together. For these students, Xiao Chuhong also put in a lot of effort!

Of course, the hard work was done by the boys. Feng Yufei was happy to eat but did not want to try it herself. However, the current situation was not up to her to choose.

"How many chives do you want to eat?" Feng Yufei first set the amount. They should eat as much as wanted. Previously, Xiao Chuhong had also said no wasting. Otherwise, according to the number of roasted chives that girls usually ate, she would really die of exhaustion from helping others to string chives.

In the end, the girls wanted to eat more, but they were afraid of being punished if they couldn't eat all of it, so they had to give a moderate number. Feng Yufei lowered her head to string chives while doubting life.

Every side of life had its beauty and troubles, and for those things that you didn't want, either escape or curry others' favor.

On the beach, the students were busy preparing the ingredients for the barbecue while Xiao Chuhong occasionally commented, and the afternoon passed just like that.

After a tiring afternoon, everyone was already a little excited about the evening bonfire party. After the preparations at hand were done, the students returned to the hotel as fast as they could to take a shower and dress up, waiting to show off their skills tonight.
