Chapter 321 Finding the Strength to Move Forward
"Look, this is the footage we took when we went to Guizhou of the school and the children. It will be used as the background for their singing tomorrow." Director Xiao Hu took out his cell phone and opened a video for Xiang Nuan.
Everyone gathered around them to watch. In the picture, Chunmiao Primary School is like grass covered with morning dew, tender and simple. It is not gorgeous at all, even a little shabby, but its clean and tidy temperament with its head held high to the sun cannot be ignored. The children concentrate on studying and playing wantonly. The ritual sense of waiting for the braised pork to be served with their big eyes on the rim of the bowl makes people feel the purity of life. They are like spring seedlings after the rain, growing upward enthusiastically even on barren land. It is the vigorous vitality that makes them walk out of the mountains and come here to sing loud folk songs.
Everyone was moved by what they saw, and memories came flooding back. The "awkward moments" of them doing charity sales, renovating the classroom, and cooking together all became invaluable and unforgettable moments.
"Who still remembers the path leading to school? It's the place to deal with all kinds of dissatisfaction." Xu Naru smiled and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Who still remembers the scene of us who were disabled but determined?" Chen Jiayu also sighed.
Everyone burst into laughter at once, infecting Director Xiao Hu's team.
"It can be seen that you are really a big family." He was deeply moved.
“So, I have always wanted to do a good job in the second season, to continue and spread our good traditions and style!”
Director Zhang raised his arm and called out, and needless to say, the audience fell into a deep silence in an instant.
Director Xiao Hu forced a smile awkwardly, and Director Zhang joked to himself: "I'm used to it. They like to tease me on purpose. This is also our tradition."
Xiaojun and Xiaoya were so embarrassed that their toes were about to dig their way out of the ground. Oh my god, the boss's implantation was so awkward!
"So I want to edit a short clip of our party tonight and use it when introducing it to the children. I believe the effect will be very contagious. Do you agree?"
After Director Xiao Hu said this, the audience became even more silent than Director Zhang just now.
He panicked and his face turned red in an instant. He regretted saying it so abruptly and bluntly.
There should be some preparation. At least three rounds of drinks should be served, right? If he makes demands at the beginning, what will people think? Won't they think he is a scheming villain? !
He couldn't force a smile this time and could only feel embarrassed.
But in just a moment, everyone burst into laughter and nodded and gave him a thumbs-up. He felt like his soul had returned, but he was still feeling uneasy and dizzy.
"Have you learned about our tradition? These mothers are hard to deal with!" Director Zhang said jokingly.
Ah——Director Xiao Hu burst into laughter. Oh my god, this is too exciting!
"Let me show you something." When everyone had calmed down and were chatting, Liu Yunshan came to Xiang Nuan. She took out her phone and pushed a photo to her.
"Oh, sure, Boss Liu!" Xiang Nuan pretended to be surprised and opened her mouth wide. As soon as she raised her voice, Liu Yunshan grabbed her and stopped her in time.
"When did it happen?!" Xiang Nuan enlarged the photo and looked at it carefully. She had known about this for a long time. When Jiang Chao bought Jiang Yunhui, the entertainment company said that they were using his freedom to force him to take the bait. In fact, they had already laid the foreshadowing for today.
"Just now." Liu Yunshan glanced at her proudly.
Xiang Nuan thought that Jiang Chao had transferred the company to her a long time ago, at least when the new movie that she and Jiang Yunhui had put on hold was started, she would join the crew as the boss. She didn't expect that she would make up her mind only today.
Was it just that short period of time during the day? The confidante who was still full of affection and reluctant to part with him a few hours ago, after wiping away her tears, became a shrewd and capable woman who clearly distinguished between interests and put love aside? This feeling was just what Xiang Nuan wanted.
"That's what I like about you. You have clear goals and never drag your feet." Xiang Nuan exclaimed in admiration.
"You're not bad either." Liu Yunshan cast a disdainful glance, her temperament was captured accurately and steadily.
"The next step is to set up the table and have a serious talk with Director Zhang, right?" Xiang Nuan said with a smile.
Liu Yunshan didn't say it explicitly, but her eyes said it all. Xiang Nuan couldn't help but look back at Director Zhang who was laughing and talking about the situation, and secretly sympathized with him for three seconds.
You are not fishing for a fish, you are fishing for an alligator. Take care!
"Come to the gate, it will only take a minute." Xiang Nuan suddenly received a message from Jiang Chao. She was shocked and deliberately avoided Liu Yunshan.
"I'm not home."
"I know, it's a party, I'll be at the door. If you don't want me to come in, just come out."
What?! Xiang Nuan couldn't believe his eyes and stared at the phone, reading word by word for a long while. He should be either at Jin Nuoyi's negotiation table or at his old man's negotiation table, so why did he come here?
But she knew that this madman was capable of anything, and she didn't want to take the risk.
"How did you know we were here?" Xiang Nuan got into his car. She didn't want to be alone with him in such a small space, but she had to choose the lesser of two evils. She didn't want to talk and laugh with him on the side of the road in broad daylight.
"Isn't Mr. Duan's lover here too?"
"Ah, it seems like you guys are getting along well and have even started chatting about family matters."
After she finished speaking, the two of them fell silent, and the atmosphere suddenly fell into an awkward silence. Why was it like a secret meeting? Xiang Nuan's heart was beating fast.
"Congratulations." She just wanted to break the silence.
“It went better than I thought.”
"Isn't that good? It means you are well prepared."
Jiang Chao tilted his lips slightly, revealing a disdainful smile: "After getting the project, negotiating the cooperation with the Jin family, and canceling the marriage, the next step is to convince my father to open a new company."
"So you're... on your way to see your dad?"
"I want to see you first to cheer myself up before I meet him."
Xiang Nuan frowned slightly, trying not to think about the ambiguity behind his words. She grinned and said sarcastically, "How? Did you bring an air pump?"
Oh my gosh! Jiang Chao bit his lip and tried to control his emotions, but in an instant he raised his fist and punched Xiang Nuan on the shoulder again and again.
"Oh, oh, hey, are you crazy?!"
The damage from the random punches was less than 0.5, but Xiang Nuan's exaggerated reaction seemed to have caused internal injuries.
"Isn't all this because of you?!" he yelled, "My original plan was just to hold a car show, just to express my willingness, but you insisted on digging up my background and looking for my motives, and ended up forcing me into this situation..."
Xiang Nuan was already confused by what she heard. In her eyes, Jiang Chao was no different from a madman.
"Are you scared?" She waited for his crazy shooting to stop, then calmly stabbed him again.
Jiang Chao suddenly lost his temper and slumped back in his chair.
"Sometimes people become dependent after being controlled for too long..."
"Stop, stop, stop." Xiang Nuan had already reached for the car door with one hand. "Grit your teeth, close your eyes, and open them again. This level will be over."
She opened the car door and jumped out, then suddenly remembered something and knocked on the glass. Jiang Chao rolled down the window and saw her and said with a grin, "If you don't go at this hour, your father might be asleep. Speed up and you can still catch up."
She even made an exaggerated cheering gesture, which was really disgusting to watch.
"This is used to complete your wish wall. Don't accuse me of being stingy as a boss." He threw a card and it landed squarely in Xiang Nuan's hand. "Guess the password."
He showed a sly smile, stepped on the accelerator and drove away...
