Nan XiangWan immediately checked her phone as soon as she received it.
But the result was still blank!
She was really frustrated!
640 points were not considered a high score; it was just enough to pass the admission cutoff for a regular university. More than half of her classmates in her class could score over 650.
On the other hand, Nan ChaoYang, her younger brother, had achieved a truly high score and ranked within the top fifty in the province. His score couldn't be found.
Yet Nan XiangWan's score was completely normal!
What was going on?
Frustration overwhelmed her!
Just then, someone came to notify her that Commander Han wanted to see her.
With a vexed mood, Nan XiangWan made her way to Han Ting's office.
As soon as Han Ting saw her, he began to scold her, "As a soldier, you should control your emotions! It's punishable to show your displeasure!"
Nan XiangWan raised her head and said, "I couldn't find my college entrance exam score."
Han Ting waved his hand and said, "Oh, it was the military district that blocked your score. With 640 points, you passed the admission cutoff and the National Defense Academy will give you special admission. You will be studying in the Special Arms Department."
Nan XiangWan widened her eyes in pleasant surprise.
So, that was the reason. The military district had intervened.
And she could actually get into the military academy she had longed for?!
Ah, oh, oh!
I love you, Lingshan Military Region!
In the next moment, Han Ting continued, "However, your identity as a celebrity remains unchanged. Your score and other information will be blocked by the military. They will be treated as top-secret documents that cannot be accessed and, if necessary, they might even be altered. Although you will be studying in the Special Arms Department, officially, you belong to the Art Troupe. Do you understand?"
Nan XiangWan remained silent.
Han Ting said, "You should cherish this opportunity. The Special Arms Department is already quite special, and the admission cutoff was lowered significantly. You are the only one who received special admission, while the rest are exceptional individuals from various military regions who entered through regular admission. Do you understand the importance of this role?"
Nan XiangWan instantly turned serious and replied, "I understand!"
Now, she represented the Lingshan Military Region.
Though her identity was hidden, it was of utmost significance.
What an honor it was!
Han Ting waved his hand again and said, "Alright, I called you here to inform you about this matter. Wait for further instructions. The rest is to focus on your development in the entertainment industry. Negative news won't surface, and you'll be of great use in the future."
Nan XiangWan nodded and said, "Yes!"
...
In another place,
Feng Kai Ji hadn't left yet. The previous incident made him hesitant to leave; he almost settled in the Lingshan Military Region.
When Gu Beihuai came over, he saw Feng Kai Ji remotely managing the film crew through a video call.
Feng Kai Ji saw Gu Beihuai and ended the call, asking, "The King has arrived? Is your eye better?"
Gu Beihuai nodded, "It's nothing serious."
Feng Kai Ji let out a sigh of relief, "That's good. It shouldn't affect the filming!"
Gu Beihuai got straight to the point, "Replace the actor for the second male lead."
Feng Kai Ji was puzzled, "???"
Gu Beihuai replied, "Nan Bei Entertainment has someone good. He won the Best Actor at the Golden Film Awards. Although he's a newcomer, he has unlimited potential. Let him take the role."
Feng Kai Ji said, "No, that's not possible. Why suddenly change the actor? Tan Shen has already signed the contract, and he's already in training!"
Gu Beihuai stated, "I'm the investor. Is there a problem?"
Feng Kai Ji reluctantly agreed, "Alright, no problem. But I just want to know the reason for this sudden request."
Gu Beihuai stared at him, emphasizing each word, "Tan Shen, has a poor character."
Feng Kai Ji's head immediately went blank, feeling his vision darken.
Tan Shen has a poor character?
So many directors have strongly recommended him, and he has a poor character?
Feng Kai Ji didn't suspect that Gu Beihuai had ulterior motives because Gu Tianwang's status no longer required him to undermine others.
So, it could only mean...
Feng Kai Ji was terrified, drenched in cold sweat.
Tan Shen has a great reputation outside, his image as a kind person has deeply resonated with the public.
How terrifying!
After settling the matter, Gu Beihuai left,
Leaving Feng Kai Ji alone to process everything.
...
During dinner that evening, all the actors gathered together, creating a lively atmosphere.
After a day and night of collective survival in the wilderness, their emotions had undergone a qualitative transformation.
Moreover, after staying in the military area for a few days and being influenced by the soldiers' fervor, their previous selfish thoughts were completely gone.
In the face of national glory, what did their selfishness amount to?
As a result, everyone became more open-minded, disregarding trivial matters and coming together.
However, halfway through the meal, they suddenly noticed something was amiss.
Why was someone missing?
Where was Tan Shen?
Ji Jirou was worried, "Is Teacher Tan Shen feeling unwell?"
She still remembered how Tan Shen had given her his water bottle, and she hadn't even taken a sip despite her lips cracking.
Could something be wrong with him?
Feng Kai Ji, sitting next to her, knocked on the table and announced expressionlessly, "The second male lead has been replaced. Lan Tianyou will be coming tomorrow."
The whole group fell silent, shocked.
Replaced?
How did the sudden change happen?
Tan Shen was swiftly removed from the cast, catching everyone off guard.
They had only returned to the base in the afternoon, and Tan Shen had already been sent away during dinner, silently!
Gu Beihuai calmly ate his meal, not participating in the discussion.
After all, Director Feng Kai Ji was there to handle everything.
Nan XiangWan, sitting across from Gu Beihuai, ate heartily, causing the food tray to clang.
She was clearly in a good mood!
Ji Jirou sighed, "Ah! I can't eat without Teacher Tan Shen."
Hua Ying furrowed her brow, about to say something.
Clang!
Nan XiangWan slammed a food tray in front of her, "Can't eat? Say it again?"
Ji Jirou hastily lowered her head and started eating in big mouthfuls.
She could eat! She had a great appetite!
Hua Ying: "..."
Wow, she only eats when forced!
Zhu Yun almost burst out laughing. Actually, she had felt that something was off, but she couldn't pinpoint what it was.
After Tan Shen was replaced, unexpectedly, Zhu Yun's mood became particularly good!
How strange!
...
In the evening, Nan XiangWan sat in her dormitory, frowning as she held her tablet.
The system panel showed that the deadline for the college entrance exam task had passed, but it hadn't marked as completed yet.
There must be a time transition since the scores had just been released, and the cutoff scores for major universities hadn't been displayed yet.
Regarding the songwriting task for "The Singer" on the system panel, the font had turned red!
The system was frantically reminding her that the deadline was approaching, and if she didn't start the task soon, there would be consequences.
Nan XiangWan began her creative process.
But she had no inspiration!
At that moment, her phone lit up with a WeChat message.
'Gu Beihuai: [Picture]'
'Gu Beihuai: This is what I painted. I'll refine it later as the cover for the next song. What do you think?'
Nan Xiangwan stared at the painting, a simple depiction of two people.
One person stood there with their eyes covered, a smile playing on their lips, while a long piece of cloth cascaded from the corner of their eye to their waist.
The other person, wielding a sharp blade, took a step forward, guarding against the dangers ahead, their face displaying a fierce determination.
Nan Xiangwan was astonished. Wasn't this what happened last night?
Her comrade had actually captured it in a painting, and it was filled with emotion.
However, the sight of the eyes covered evoked a sense of heartache.
Furrowing her brows, Nan Xiangwan picked up her pen and composed a new song melody.
The title - "May the Gods Favor."
