Chapter 059 is not human

  Seeking sponsorship...

  Ding Shu always looked at Xu Yunjin with a smile on his face as he tore off the colored paper covering the script name, one by one.

  Every time a new screenwriter's name appears in front of Xu Yunjin, her face adds another layer of dead ash.

  Ding Shu brought out several scripts, except for one screenwriter who was not within her scope of invitation, the others all accepted invitations from both her and Ding Shu.

  That's it.

  What made her even more embarrassed was that the script they gave her was obviously inferior in quality to the one given to Ding Shu.

  The only screenwriter who was not within her invitation range, known as the number one genius of the screenwriting department, was praised by his instructor as the most promising to become a well-known playwright. When she approached him for a script, this so-called number one genius bluntly refused and declared that he would never cooperate with a female director in his lifetime.

  Xu Yunjin got a nose full of dust, but didn't take it too seriously. Unexpectedly, Ding Shu Li successfully asked him to write an article.

  Xu Yunjin slammed all the scripts onto the table, expressionless, and stared at Ding Shuxi, "What do you mean? Are you trying to show off to me?"

  I didn't really mean anything, I just said it, just wanted to chat with you.

  Yunjin, I've gone through the several scripts you collected. To be honest, they're no better than the ones I collected.

  I'm personally very worried, if you shoot according to the script you've collected, let alone becoming one of those two spots, whether or not you can even enter the instructor's eyes and get recommended by the instructor is a problem.

  Such a result, you don't want to see it, and I don't want to see it either.

  I always thought you were like me, the same kind of person, we have the same ideals, the same pursuits, and are determined to become the best director. I don't want to see you fail to take the first crucial step on the path to becoming a director.

  Ding Shu's expression turned deep and emotional, his words full of consideration for Xu Yunjin.

  Xu Yun snorted coldly, "You're wrong, I'm really not the same kind of person as you."

  Ding Shu's eyes flowed with a faint melancholy, he gazed at Xu Yunjin, "Yunjin, don't persist in your futile self-respect. With the external conditions you currently possess, it's fundamentally impossible to find a suitable script, and time is already running out. I really can't bear to see you lose this competition."

  Xu Yunjin avoided Ding Shulei's gaze, "Ding Shulei, I'm warning you again, if you call me 'Yunjin' once more, we can't even be classmates."

  "Alright, it's my fault, I made a mistake, I apologize to you." Ding Shu's tone carried a hint of indulgence, as if he was coaxing his girlfriend who was throwing a tantrum. "I really can't bear to see you miss out on this important opportunity to gain fame. After thinking about it again and again, there is only one solution - you cooperate with me, we'll make the movie together."

  "What? You want me to cooperate with you? I didn't hear that wrong, did I?" Xu Yunjin glanced at Ding Shu-li, "You pity me?"

  Ding Shu hastily said: "I'm not sympathizing with you, but I really want to cooperate with you. You say we've been classmates for so many years, and everyone's evaluation of me, don't you understand? I think we two not only have common ideals, our personalities also have a great complementary relationship, if we can cooperate, we will definitely be able to shoot a movie that shocks everyone."

  Xu Yunjin smiled, "If we two cooperate, who is the director and who is the deputy director? Whose name is signed first and whose name is signed later? Between us two, who listens to whom?"

  Ding Shu said on horseback: "As long as you are willing to cooperate, I will be your deputy, you can control the overall situation, you can give orders and instructions, and I will listen to you. Xu Yunjin, agree with me, let's cooperate."

  At this point, Ding Shu could no longer hold back, and reached out to grab Xu Yunjin's slender white hand.

  Ding Shu's speed was not slow, but Xu Yunjin's reaction was even faster. Before Ding Shu could grab her hand, she had already picked up the coffee cup.

  Ding Shu's hand grasped at nothing, and he awkwardly withdrew it. "Please consider it seriously, I am very sincere."

  Xu Yun held the coffee cup, scooped a spoonful of sugar and put it into the coffee, stirring gently and elegantly with the coffee spoon. Then he picked up the coffee and gulped it down in big mouthfuls, glug glug glug, finishing off the full cup of bitter coffee in one breath.

  Xu Yunjin's approach, first elegant and then bold, startled Ding Shu. He looked at Xu Yunjin in surprise, anxiously guessing what was on his mind.

  Xu Yunjin slammed the coffee cup onto the table, raised an eyebrow and glanced at Ding Shuxi, "Sorry, I have no interest in working with you."

  As he spoke, Xu Yunjin stood up.

  Ding Shu hastily stood up, "You can't be so arrogant. Without a good script, you can't shoot a good movie at all. Don't you want to get the quota anymore?"

  "It's none of your concern about the script. I also don't dare to let you worry whether or not I can get one of those two spots." Xu Yunjin said calmly.

  Ding Shu still thought that Xu Yunjin's self-esteem was hurt, so she opened her arms and blocked her way, "Don't be like this, looking at you like this is really heart-wrenching, do you know? I..."

  Xu Yunjing's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Get out of the way. Ding Shulei, get out of my way."

  Ding Shu hastily dodged to one side, "Don't be angry. Listen to me explain, I really didn't mean anything else."

  Before Ding Shu Li finished speaking, Xue Yun Jin had already walked out of the coffee shop without looking back. Ding Shu Li hurriedly chased after him, and Xue Yun Jin had already opened his umbrella and rushed into the rain.

  Ding Shu thought of rushing out, but was afraid of getting wet, so he turned back to the cafe to grab an umbrella. By the time he came out again, a taxi had already stopped beside Xuyunjin.

  Ding Shu didn't even bother to open his umbrella and rushed into the heavy rain, "Xu Yunjin, listen to my explanation."

  Xu Yunjin opened the car door, lifted his leg and sat in the taxi, "Driver, let's go."

  The driver stepped on the accelerator, the wheels rolled through the accumulated water on the ground, opening up a path of ripples, and sped away, splashing water droplets that landed on Ding Shu's body.

  Just these few steps, Ding Shu had already been drenched by the heavy rain and became a drowned rat. Letting the taxi splash water on him again, he didn't care anymore.

  He raised his arm and stretched it towards the taxi, weakly shouting: "Xu Yunjin, listen to me explain."

  The taxi sped away, quickly increasing the distance between it and Ding Shu-li.

  Ding Shu's face revealed a hint of confusion and unwillingness, he opened his arms wide, tilted his head back towards the sky, and let out a long, mournful cry.

  "Ah..."

  The rain is getting heavier...
