Harold stepped on the gas, the car was almost flying, that’s how fast he was going, racing on the wide road, his eyes kept looking around, hoping to see a familiar face.
Harold was angrily steering the wheel, his brows twisted, his cold face was now tangled together, anxious, urgent, anger, worried, longing, all kinds of complicated moods mixed together. He couldn’t understand how his emotions would become so unstable after losing her.
Slamming on the gas followed by a sudden brake, Harold had not yet completely stopped the car, he could not wait to get off and rush into the villa’s gate.
“Someone find my Jenny, NOW!”
“Mr. Quarrington, I will check it immediately.” The butler also knew that Harold’s emotions were burning at this moment, so he didn’t dare to ask more and did what he was told.
Jenny never thought that she could enter the University of Southern California’s Academy of Film Arts as an exchange student! The University of Southern California is the first university in the United States to grant a bachelor’s degree in film arts. The initial faculty of the college include Douglas Van Punk, David Griffith, Cecil B. DeMille, Ernst Lubitsch, Irving Thalberg, Darryl Zanuck and many more. The School of Motion Picture Arts of the University of South Carolina has made outstanding contributions to American film, television, film research, animation, documentaries, advertising and interactive media. Therefore, the school has been ranked first among major film academies in the United States.
The alumni of the college include scholars, artists, technicians, screenwriters, directors and executives of the film industry in various professional schools around the world. Many alumni are now leaders in their fields.
Jenny didn’t know how she was qualified to go to such a good school to study, and the online check of the school’s tuition fee made Jenny stunned.
The annual tuition fee is 47. 562 USD, that is more than 300, 000 in RMB! In addition to the cost of other books and materials, as well as her room and living expenses, she was afraid that she couldn’t afford even if she took several jobs outside of class.
Jenny was a little uncomfortable for a while, but she has made an appointment after all to report at the office and the agreement could not be broken, so she did her best to try it out, maybe if they knew about her financial status, they may not let her stay.
This night Jenny tossed and turned, but she could not sleep.
…
As soon as the sun rise, Jenny got up and cleaned the room. After washing up, she also put on some light makeup and left the room with a tense pace.
With her tall horsetail, burgundy knitted coat with an off-white lapel sweater inside, her eyes as clear and translucent as always, with a little childishness between the eyebrows, the curvature of the lips, the delicate face, passersby were attracted by the look of this perfect Asian face.
Entering the University of Southern California, Jenny was stunned by the thick artistic atmosphere here.
Most of the buildings on the campus were made of red brick walls. The main roads were mainly surrounded by tall palm trees, with different buildings, vegetation from all over the world, and various fountains and lawns, making out the characteristics of the campus garden.
Jenny, who has been walking along the way, had a lot of thoughts in her mind. If you were a child of a rich family, you will definitely come here to school without any worries.
Because the school was too big, and she was here for the first time, and after several rounds, she asked some students around her before getting to the school office she had an appointment at.
“Hello, excuse me, could you tell me where I can find Mr. Severn?”
“Walk to the end of the right office.”
“Thank you.”
Jenny was actually worried that no one would bother to help her find that teacher, but she didn’t expect that everyone here was very friendly.
Stepping closer and closer to the office, her heart raced at a faster pace.
When she knocked on the door gently, she heard the familiar voice, “Please, come in.” When she opened the door, she saw a Chinese face, about thirty years old, wearing a neat suit, who stood at the desk.
Jenny walked in, Simon, the person in the room, saw that it was a Chinese girl who pushed the door open. He looked at her friendly and smiled.
“You are the girl James talked about.”
Jenny was thinking they were going to have a tense conversation in English, but did not expect the other person to speak Chinese!
“…”
Seeing her stunned eyes, Simon hurriedly explained, “I am also Chinese and a good friend of James’ since our childhood.”
“Sorry, and thanks for your kindness.”
“You’re welcome, James’ friend is my friend. He spent so much effort to send you here to study, I am guessing that your relationship must be very good.”
Jenny didn’t know what to answer, so she smiled at him awkwardly.
“I’m not going to ask you about you two, don’t worry, I called you over cause I wanted to go through the admission procedures with you.”
“Can I come here to study directly? There is no need for some professional tests? Or something else?” Jenny couldn’t believe what he said.
“Actually, this university requires a degree certificate and professional certificate, but I heard James say that you didn’t seem to finish the university?”
“Well, yes, I couldn’t finish because of family matters.” Jenny was not embarrassed of others knowing about her family, after all, this is the truth.
“So what you studied before, was it about director’s major?”
“I studied the major of director of film at the college, and some self-taught English.”
Jenny was confident about her foundation of knowledge. After all, it is a major that she loved, and she was also working hard when studying.
“Directorship is actually a relatively complicated subject, with knowledge of drama, drama directory, film, TV drama directory and performance, also theoretical research of drama, so it is still difficult and stressful for you to study directly here, you will have a lot of pressure. Do you think you can handle that?”
“This is my dream, and James must have done a lot to help me get in here, I will not disappoint you and will not give up.” Jenny looked at Simon and secretly made a decision.
“Well, if you really have made up your mnind about it, we can go over the admission procedures now.”
“I have made up my mind.”
In the next few hours, Simon took her to pay the tuition fees, get the books, go through the relevant procedures and sign some documents, and then Jenny was successfully admitted to school.
Simon was afraid Jenny didn’t know the school yet and wouldn’t be able to find the classroom the next day, so he took her to some of the buildings in which she will have class and the library, and some other places where she could study and take a rest or a walk.
“Okay, I think you know the school pretty well by now, my task with you is done, I have some other things to do, so you can have my phone number, if you need help, you can contact me.”
