On the phone, Song Baiyan's voice was as calm and steady as ever. Hearing her nervousness, he soothed her with a simple phrase, "Life is an endless series of gains and losses."
Tang Li, clutching her cellphone, couldn't help but ask, "What if I really have no acting skills?"
"Then you continue to hone yourself." Afraid that she might spiral into despair, Song Baiyan added comfortingly from the other end of the line, "Aside from acting, there are many meaningful things in life, depending on whether you're willing to explore them."
Upon hearing this, Tang Li gradually calmed down.
After ending the call, she looked back at the television. It was already 7:53.
Song Baiyan put away his cellphone, left the office, and proceeded to the second floor rest room of Tan Palace, where Xiao Minglan and Aunt Min happened to be chatting and watching TV on the couch.
