Chapter 118 Which way to go about prosecution?
"Come out, stop pretending to be dead. Your man can't have left you no money!"
"Hurry up and return the money, hurry up and return the money, you guys are cheating my relatives out of their money, are you even human?"
"He's heartless and has no conscience."
…
Lu Min, Uncle Lu's daughter, opened the door. She had no choice but to open it, as the people outside kept banging on it. Aunt Lu told her daughter not to open the door, but Lu Min went to open it anyway. There was no way to avoid this.
"I have no money, and he mortgaged the house," Lu Min said. "If the house hadn't been mortgaged, I wouldn't have to live with my children at my parents' house. He took the money and ran away, taking everything we had. I have no money to pay you back."
Lu Minpu knelt down before the people in front of her. "My dad was just released from the hospital, and we really don't have any money. If you don't believe me, I'll go to the bank with you and see if I have any savings. You can also search my house."
"Who knows if you left the money at someone else's house." The burly man didn't expect Lu Min to do this, and he was a little scared.
"I really didn't," Lu Min said. "My dad and brother were all scammed out of their money. They even borrowed money to invest, and now they're all scammed out of their money. I beg you, my dad is old and can't handle it. I'm going to move out of my dad's house, so please don't come here so often. I'm going to find a place to live, and you can find me there. I didn't run away, and I really didn't take that money."
Jiang's mother walked over only after the strong man left.
Jiang's mother didn't have that much money to help pay off the debt, so she could only wait it out.
"Hurry up and get up, they've already left." Jiang's mother said, "What's going on with the house?"
"Luo Dahai said that investment could make money and asked me to mortgage the house, so I listened to him and mortgaged the house." Lu Min said.
"Your father and his family didn't mortgage the house, did they?" Jiang's mother took a deep breath.
"They didn't mortgage the house, but they borrowed a lot of money." Lu Min lowered her head. She was too embarrassed to say such words. She had told her family that they had mortgaged the house, which meant that the investment must be very profitable, very profitable. But now, this is the result. How could Lu Min say this?
When Lu Min stayed at her parents' home, her sister-in-law and her family were not friendly to her. Lu Min stood on her husband's side, thinking that her husband would make money for her family, and she could hold her head high in front of her family.
During that period, Lu Min was very arrogant. She was very proud when she came to her parents' home. But now, Lu Min dared not say much.
Lu Min regretted it so much. Why did she say those things to her family? She shouldn't have said them.
"Third aunt, I'm sorry to make you laugh." Lu Min said.
"Why am I laughing at you?" Jiang's mother asked, "What is there about you that's worthy of my laughter? Do you still think we look down on you?"
"..." Lu Min didn't dare to think that Jiang Moli and her husband looked down on them. Jiang Moli and her husband were unwilling to invest. Lu Min really felt that Jiang Moli and her husband looked down on them. She used to think so, but now she doesn't dare to think so at all. Luo Dahai is too good at deceiving people.
"Everyone can see through your man's little tricks at a glance," Jiang's mother said. "You think he's a treasure, but your father still talks about us for him. If you lose money, you can earn it again. Just wait and see how you make money later, and don't think about these things. As for the house, you don't have money, so there's nothing we can do."
Jiang's mother didn't say she would help Lu Min pay back the debt. It was impossible. Lu Min and her group must have owed a lot of money. If Jiang's mother wanted to help them, she would have to borrow money from Jiang Moli and her husband. Jiang Moli and her husband didn't just come from nowhere. Jiang's mother couldn't ask her daughter and son-in-law to pay. Lu Min and her group had to find a way on their own. All Jiang's mother could do was leave some money for Uncle Lu to buy food, nothing else.
When Jiang's mother and Lu Min entered the house together, Lu's aunt hurried over.
Aunt Lu pulled Jiang's mother aside and said, "Well... I'll be frank. How much money does your Jasmine have? Can you lend us some first?"
"How can you borrow money? You're at your wit's end. After paying one person back, another comes asking for more." Jiang's mother said, "Hurry up and get Lu Min and the others to move out. Don't even think about borrowing money. You've made a huge mistake to get to this point. If you hadn't been so fussy from the beginning, things wouldn't have turned out this way."
"Really can't lend it to me?" Aunt Lu was not very happy.
"No." Jiang's mother said.
"Your Jasmine is so good at making money, she..."
"She earns a lot, but she also spends a lot," Jiang's mother said. "Do you think she earns so much money easily? She's relying on her youth. She can still do those things now, but whether she can continue to do them in the future is uncertain."
"But now we are..."
"You should be thick-skinned now. If you don't have the money, don't pay it back. Just focus on the money you borrowed yourself and don't worry about the money your daughter and son-in-law borrowed." Jiang's mother said, "You are both old, how can you care about so many things?"
"I just want your elder brother to be like this. You can lend me some money to get through this difficult time first." Aunt Lu said.
"You'll have to cross it yourselves," Jiang's mother said. "There's so much money here. I don't know exactly how much it is, but you can do the math yourself. It should be quite a lot."
"..." Aunt Lu knew that the amount was not small, and she just hoped that Mother Jiang could help.
"When my eldest brother called me and asked me to get my daughter and son-in-law to invest, I told him there was something fishy going on. He didn't believe me, and neither did you," Jiang's mother said. "You insist on thinking that Luo Dahai is your son-in-law and that he couldn't possibly be lying to you. Things have come to this point, and you're still thinking about borrowing money. Don't you guys borrow money every day without paying it back? Be thick-skinned and don't get involved. If all else fails, you and my eldest brother should switch places, and let your son and daughter-in-law live here."
"That's impossible. It costs money to live outside." said Aunt Lu.
"Then you can live here. Tell everyone clearly that you don't have any money. It's not you who cheated people out of money, you were also cheated." Jiang's mother said, "You borrowed money from others, so you have to pay it back. The money others were cheated out of has nothing to do with you."
"Alas, my second sister and fourth brother..."
"You deserve this. You insisted on letting them invest. Now that something's wrong, who else can they blame but you?" Jiang's mother said, "If you had said less, things wouldn't have gotten to this point. You should think of a solution. Also, Lu Min and Luo Dahai want a divorce. If they don't, this matter will never end. If they're not here, go to court and file for divorce."
"this……"
"Could it be that you still can't bear to part with your son-in-law and don't want Lu Min to get divorced?" Jiang's mother asked.
"No, no." There was no way Aunt Lu was unwilling to let Lu Min get a divorce. Things had come to this point, so she had no choice but to let Lu Min get a divorce. "Luo Dahai's parents are still here."
"Whether they're here or not, we should divorce. Lu Min doesn't need to provide for Luo Dahai's parents in their old age," Jiang's mother said. "Luo Dahai's parents are Luo Dahai's business, and the business of Luo Dahai's brothers and sisters. Hasn't Luo Dahai screwed you over badly enough?"
Jiang's mother spoke to Aunt Lu for a few words, and then she stopped talking. She went to see Uncle Lu. She stayed in Uncle Lu's city for two more days before leaving. During that time, Aunt Lu and her friends came to the hotel to talk to Jiang's mother. They said Uncle Lu and his people had gone too far and had cheated them out of their money.
What could Jiang's mother say? Uncle Lu had become like that. As Uncle Lu's brothers and sisters, they should not say those things and make Uncle Lu even more sad.
When Jiang's mother returned home, Jiang Moli was playing with the baby.
"Mom." Jiang Moli looked at her mother's tired face and said, "Please wash up and eat something first."
After Jiang's mother washed up and ate something, she went downstairs again.
"If your uncle and his people ask you to borrow money, don't lend too much, or even better, don't lend at all," Jiang's mother said. "They owe a lot, and people are coming to collect the debts. And Lu Min, her house is mortgaged, so she has nowhere to go."
"So miserable?" Jiang Moli was shocked.
"She deserves it," Jiang's mother said. "She invested when she had no money, and she even mortgaged the house she lived in. She's out of her mind. Also, when other relatives didn't want to invest, she and her husband approached your eldest uncle, asking him to find someone else. Your eldest uncle was also stupid, forcing his son to borrow money to invest, which is why things have come to this. If they hadn't done such a thing, the situation would have been better. Your fourth uncle doesn't even want to see your eldest uncle now."
In this kind of situation, you can't blame others for being persuaded to invest. Uncle Lu used family affection to kidnap others, and brothers and sisters valued family affection, so they invested. Investing is a matter of gain and loss, but Luo Dahai was defrauding people, not really investing.
"Things have gotten so bad that we're no longer brothers and sisters anymore," Jiang's mother said. "No matter what we do, it's wrong."
"Mom, you don't have to worry too much. It's not our family that cheated them of their money, so don't get involved." Jiang Moli said.
"I didn't get involved," Jiang's mother said. "They came to me and complained, but I didn't say anything. Your aunt asked me to borrow money, but I said I didn't have any. That's how things are. Where can I lend them that much money? Even if I did lend them money, they wouldn't be able to pay it back, and I don't know when they'll pay it back. Let them deal with it on their own. They have to live their own lives."
When Jiang's mother talked about Uncle Lu's family, she was still a little angry. These people didn't do their job well. They let others invest without knowing anything, and Uncle Lu's people even borrowed money to invest.
"They're just crazy about making money, and they don't even think about whether others are cheating them." Jiang's mother said, "Can you trust your son-in-law?"
After Jiang's mother said this, she saw Sheng Jiahao sitting next to her and quickly said, "Jiahao, I'm not talking about you."
"It's okay, you tell me, I know." Sheng Jiahao said. He really knew what Jiang's mother meant and did not misunderstand her.
"Luo Dahai always likes to brag. He made some money, but not a lot," Jiang's mother said. "He only has a few words to fool people. It's all empty talk."
"It's just empty talk. When he first talked to Jiahao about investment, he used empty, pretentious words. Jiahao knew there was something wrong the moment he heard them." Jiang Moli said, "You absolutely shouldn't invest in this kind of investment. It's not something confidential, and he's talking about it in such empty words. If it were really confidential, he wouldn't be leading everyone to invest. And he even talked about bringing relatives and friends, people he knows, people he's close to. He just thinks you're easy to fool, and he's using family ties to force you to invest."
Fortunately, Jiang Moli and Sheng Jiahao were clear-headed and didn't think about simply investing a small amount of money. Even a small amount of money was money. If every relative came to Jiang Moli and her husband like Luo Dahai and asked them to invest, and Jiang Moli and her husband had to invest a little money, then their money would soon be gone. When it's time to refuse relatives, you have to refuse them. You can't just jump into the trap of thinking that these people are relatives.
"Those people of Fourth Uncle's were defrauded of their money, so they need to take it easy." Jiang Moli said, "It's mainly because Eldest Uncle was defrauded of a lot of money, so they need to think of a solution themselves."
"Your uncle's health is much worse now." Jiang's mother said, "Alas, don't worry about it. This has nothing to do with you."
"We don't care." Jiang Moli said.
"I can lend you a little money, but not too much," said Sheng Jiahao.
If Uncle Lu’s health is really not good, it is unrealistic for Sheng Jiahao to think that they should not lend a penny.
"When I came back, I gave your uncle some money to buy food," Jiang's mother said. "If you give him money, just give him enough for food. Don't give him anything else. No matter how much you give them, they won't dare to accept it. When the time comes, they'll tell you that you don't need the money for now, so they won't return it. Let them struggle on their own. Only then will they understand the hardships involved and won't be easily cheated in the future."
When Jiang's mother refused to lend money, Aunt Lu was very unhappy, but she had no choice. "The richer the family, the more stingy they are." Aunt Lu said this to Lu Min at home. "Your third aunt's daughter has made so much money, but they won't lend us a penny. They even blame us for asking them to invest. We really thought we could make money, so we asked them to."
"Mom." Lu Min looked at her mother. Her mother was not like this before. It was all because of the recent events that caused her mother to become like this. "This has nothing to do with Third Aunt. I'll find a house in the next two days and move out with the children to avoid those people coming to see me all the time."
"Alas, this is the only way." Aunt Lu said, "Luo Dahai is really so cruel. He didn't care about you and the child, nor did he care about his parents. He took the money and ran away."
"..." Lu Min pursed her lips. Luo Dahai's situation made her very sad and upset. Lu Min had originally thought that she and Luo Dahai had a good relationship, and that Luo Dahai should have told her if he was going to run away. But Luo Dahai didn't tell her, and he also ran away with the family's money.
Lu Min never thought that Luo Dahai was such a person. She thought Luo Dahai just liked to brag and never thought that Luo Dahai would dare to be so bold.
"Get a divorce sooner rather than later, and those people won't come looking for you," said Aunt Lu. "Those people are annoying to see. Your dad's already in this state, and they're still coming. Aren't they afraid of scaring him to death?"
"Mom, we'll move out soon and they won't come over anymore." Lu Min said.
"Well, let's move." Aunt Lu said that if she didn't let her daughter move out, her son and daughter-in-law would say something.
Uncle Lu's affairs didn't affect Jiang Moli. Uncle Lu was too embarrassed to ask Jiang Moli and her husband for a loan. When Sheng Jiahao refused to invest, Uncle Lu should have just let it go. With things turning out like this, Uncle Lu doesn't like to go out anymore. He feels too embarrassed. If he meets relatives, he doesn't dare to say anything, and his relatives don't seem to care much about him.
Jiang's mother, Jiang Moli and others did not tell anyone about the Lu family's affairs. When Zhao Guodong and his wife learned about the Lu family's affairs, they just sighed a few times.
After He Jingxian remarried, Qi Shixin bought a three-bedroom house with the help of Qi's family. When He Jingxian learned that Qi Shixin had bought a house, the first thing she thought of was whether Qi Shixin was going to remarry. She even went to Qi's second aunt's office to ask her.
"If Qi Shixin remarries, who will the money I give him be spent on?" He Jingxian thought that if Qi Shixin remarried, she would not give child support.
As soon as Aunt Qi heard what He Jingxian said, she understood what He Jingxian meant.
"I haven't remarried, but now that the children are grown, we need to prepare rooms for them," said Aunt Qi. "Shixin doesn't have much money and relies on his parents. We didn't buy a very big house. Logically, each child should have a room, but they are all daughters, and girls will get married sooner or later, so there's no need to keep so many rooms."
"Is that so?" He Jingxian was a little unconvinced.
"You don't want to pay child support, do you think I don't know?" Aunt Qi said.
"It's not that I don't want to give it, but if Qi Shixin remarries, I have to consider who the money is spent on." He Jingxian said, "They say that if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather. I'm also considering my own child."
"If you really care about them, you should visit them more often," Aunt Qi said. "How many times have you visited your children since you divorced Shixin? We asked you to visit them, but you refused."
Aunt Qi didn't understand He Jingxian's behavior. Other women would think about looking at their children after divorce, but He Jingxian didn't think about looking at her children.
"The children are with Qi Shixin. I go to see them, but they don't like me. They only know their father is good." He Jingxian said, "I gave birth to them, but they still don't understand how good I am. What's the point of me looking at them?"
"The child is so young, and you have this attitude..." Aunt Qi shook her head helplessly.
"I've been pretty good to them, and I even give them child support," He Jingxian said. "So many people don't pay child support after divorce. The child support I give is not particularly small. Most of my basic salary goes to them."
If He Jingxian hadn't been acting in TV dramas frequently, she wouldn't have given the money. He Jingxian was reluctant to give up the money, but she and Aunt Qi had already discussed it, so He Jingxian had to give it. If He Jingxian didn't give it, Aunt Qi could also use some tricks.
"Shixin hasn't remarried. If he did, we would definitely tell you," said Aunt Qi. "If you don't want to pay child support then, we won't force you to. Think it over carefully. You don't have any other children now, just those three..."
"I know." He Jingxian said, "But it's not easy for me to make money. I can't work so hard to support another woman."
He Jingxian and her current husband are planning to adopt a child, but not right now. They have to wait. They both have to work on the set and can't stay home all the time, so it's not convenient for them to take care of the child. He Jingxian is unable to have children, and her husband knows this. He Jingxian thinks that not having children is not a good thing, so adopting a child might be a better option.
He Jingxian didn't tell Aunt Qi about this. She didn't have an adopted child yet, so she would wait until later. If she didn't adopt a child later, it would be useless to tell her now. He Jingxian was afraid that Aunt Qi would ask her to pay more child support, which was not acceptable.
He Jingxian calculated the child support for the three children. She couldn't give too much, nor could she let Qi Shixin pay less. In fact, the child support He Jingxian gave was not much. That was for three children, not just one. Qi Shixin didn't expect He Jingxian to give more money. As a grown man, he still had to earn his own money. Qi Shixin was very different from the person he was before. His friends couldn't believe he had become like this.
Qi Shixin washes his children's hands and cooks soup for them. He doesn't bathe his daughter, so he asks his mother to do that. Qi Shixin does help with his daughter's laundry, but he doesn't do it. He can't just let his mother do it all. Qi Shixin takes his children to school in the morning and picks them up in the evening, with his mother helping him.
Qi's family members urged him to find a partner, but he refused. Previously, a woman said she didn't mind Qi having three children and would raise them as if they were her own, but Qi refused.
Qi Shixin believed that after marrying him, those women would have their own thoughts. He couldn't blame them, as the three children were not his biological children. The children were older and knew who their biological mother was, so he couldn't expect them to be filial to their stepmother. Under such circumstances, Qi Shixin felt that taking care of the children himself was the best option. He already had three children, so why did he get married?
After Uncle Jiang's son bought a bus and started driving it, the bus became quite popular. One day, when Jiang's mother was out, she happened to run into the bus driven by Uncle Jiang's son. Naturally, Uncle Jiang's son didn't charge Jiang's mother any money and instead greeted her warmly.
"Where is my second uncle? Didn't he come out with us?" asked Uncle Jiang's son.
"No, I came out to meet some friends, buy some things and then go back." Jiang's mother said.
"You want to change trains?" said Uncle Jiang's son.
"Yes." Jiang's mother said.
"Don't you have a driver at home?" asked Uncle Jiang's son.
"Yes, I just wanted to go out for a walk by myself, and I didn't ask the driver to drive me out." Jiang's mother said, "Drive carefully and don't talk too much."
"Okay." Uncle Jiang's son nodded. He hadn't planned to continue talking. Since the car was about to start, he had to talk less and keep his eyes on the road. Driving is no small matter; you have to concentrate and not just chat.
When Jiang's mother got off the car, she left some food for Uncle Jiang's son. It was something Jiang's mother had just bought, and there wasn't much, so she gave some to Uncle Jiang's son. It wasn't like he was riding in someone else's car for free. Uncle Jiang's son didn't want any, so Jiang's mother pushed it in, and Uncle Jiang's son took it.
Neither Jiang's father nor his mother lent money to Uncle Jiang's family. Uncle Jiang's family didn't ask for money, and Uncle Jiang's family handled the matter themselves. Jiang's mother still liked these people. Although Aunt Jiang's words were sometimes not very pleasant, she was also considering her own family.
Time quickly arrived at the National Day holiday, and the patriotic movie that Jiang Moli had previously starred in was released. Her performance in it was remarkable and quite good. The box office of this movie was very good on the first day, and it also did well in the following days. There were many well-known actors in the movie, and many of them, like Jiang Moli, did not ask for any salary.
The director of the play that Jiang Moli is currently performing won an award. The screenwriter was nominated for this play, but did not win. This is also a recognition for the screenwriter, and the screenwriter is very happy.
The screenwriter who had conflicts with Jiang Moli before was not shortlisted or nominated. There is no such opera anymore. How could he be shortlisted?
The screenwriter felt that the other screenwriter was not nominated based on his ability, but because of Jiang Moli's fame.
"Holding a woman's thigh is really embarrassing for us men."
"I'm so happy just being nominated, it's not like I won an award."
"If Jiang Moli is really capable, then let her win the award. Jiang Moli herself hasn't won any more awards, and she's on the decline."
…
The screenwriter was very unhappy, and that's what he told others.
These words reached Jiang Moli's ears, but she didn't take them to heart. Those awards weren't Jiang Moli's, they were official national awards. Jiang Moli didn't win any more awards because she hadn't applied for them at all.
It's still an annual event, so Jiang Moli can't sign up every year, and she doesn't expect to win more than one award. Jiang Moli doesn't need to rely on this award anymore. Many people know her, and she has achieved a certain level of success, so winning once is enough.
If the opera performed by Jiang Moli had not been shortlisted, the judging panel would have wanted to invite Jiang Moli to be a judge.
Everyone saw Jiang Moli's achievements.
The host even joked on stage that it was a pity that Jiang Moli didn't participate in the registration. He said that if Jiang Moli registered, there would be no chance for others. If she registered a few more times, the judges couldn't suppress Jiang Moli every year. The host meant that Jiang Moli gave others a chance. Jiang Moli has a good character and good opera skills.
The host's language was humorous, not only talking about Jiang Moli, but also about others. Jiang Moli did not apply for the award, but she went with the director and others.
After Jiang Moli gave birth, both of her new dramas became hits. One won an award for screenwriting, the other for directing, and this time, the screenwriter was also nominated. In short, Jiang Moli didn't win any awards, but she was even more successful than winning them.
Everyone in the industry knows that Jiang Moli's fame is now far superior to others. No one else has Jiang Moli's fame or audience appeal. Tickets for Jiang Moli's performances are almost always sold out.
Qiao Yuwei and others just thought that the screenwriter was wrong. Did that person pester Jiang Moli? Whenever something happened, Jiang Moli was mentioned.
At noon, when Jiang Moli and Qiao Yuwei were having lunch together, Qiao Yuwei was feeling indignant.
"It's been so long, and you're still blaming me. Every time something happens, you're the one to blame." Qiao Yuwei said, "You have nothing to do with him. It's not like you didn't let him win the award. He wasn't even nominated. You really think everyone else is stupid, thinking that everyone will think his script is good just by looking at it. Oh, by the way, in the first half of this year, he hired a Huangmei Opera troupe to perform, and he paid for it, but the performance wasn't good, so they stopped doing it."
"He pays?" Jiang Moli asked.
"Actually, he didn't pay for it. He just found a company to pay for it," Qiao Yuwei said. "A local theater troupe had enough money and rehearsed and performed, but... the results were not good. Really not good. The audience didn't like it."
Qiao Yuwei knew a lot. She heard it when gossiping with her colleagues. This screenwriter just wanted his play to be popular. He thought of many things and did many things, but to no avail.
I struggled hard, changed the genre, and re-adapted the script, but it still didn't work.
"He really doesn't even know how to write a new one. He has to keep thinking about the previous play." Qiao Yuwei said, "Wouldn't it be better for Xie to write a new one? The new one will be more interesting."
"I'm paranoid and can't let go." Jiang Moli said.
"He just refuses to admit that his own script is bad," Qiao Yuwei said. "You wasted so much money, and it still didn't make any waves. If it became popular, he would probably laugh at you."
"Even without the fire, he could still laugh." Jiang Moli said, "He said I wasn't cultured enough."
Jiang Moli knew everything, so she didn't go to that person to say anything. Why would she bother with such a person? If Jiang Moli went to that person to say anything, it would be too much of an honor for that person, and that person would just climb up the ladder.
In the Internet age, some people just keep an eye on famous people. As soon as the famous people have something happen, these people will come over.
Jiang Moli is now famous, and others have to talk about her, and she has no way to do anything. Jiang Moli doesn't go in front of these people, so they can do whatever they want. Jiang Moli takes care of her own business and doesn't meddle in other people's business. She can't control others.
"You are very cultured." Qiao Yuwei said.
"It doesn't matter." Jiang Moli said, "If someone says you don't know anything, does that mean you don't know anything?"
Jiang Moli never took these words to heart. She had been out there for a long time, so how could she not have black fans? If others wanted to black her, they would do whatever they wanted, and even make up fake things that didn't happen.
"Don't think too much about them." Jiang Moli said.
"I just find people like this so annoying," Qiao Yuwei said. "They're like bugs, staring at others for what? If they can't do their job well, they should blame themselves. So many people couldn't save his book. It's not his fault, whose fault is it? He's still saying that people don't appreciate it, that our aesthetic standards haven't improved. What he means is that his current book will only become a big hit in the future. Can we wait that long? We have to make a living, not live without food. The company pays our salaries, not him, so of course he doesn't care."
The basic salary is so little, and without performance bonuses, life would be impossible.
Now no one wants to interact with that screenwriter because he is too arrogant.
"I heard that he is going to resign from our unit and will no longer be affiliated with us," said Qiao Yuwei.
"Are you going to quit?" Jiang Moli really didn't know about this.
"Yes," Qiao Yuwei said, "I guess it's because no one in our unit pays attention to him, no one praises him, and no one says good things about him. He can't stand it anymore. He looks like he's a talent that's not being recognized, and we all make things difficult for him. It's better for him to leave."
Qiao Yuwei and the others didn't bother the screenwriter, who was just imagining things. He had a lot of thoughts, and he felt like everyone at work looked down on him and was making fun of him. No matter what everyone said, it was impossible for them to explain to him one by one that they weren't making fun of him, that he was just overthinking it.
Everyone will just think that the person is crazy again and that it would be better for everyone if the person leaves early.
"There's no way we can keep him anyway," Qiao Yuwei said. "He's incompetent, yet he's blaming others for his incompetence. It's clearly his own fault."
"No need to try to keep him," Jiang Moli said. "If he really doesn't want to leave, then he won't leave. If he's trying to use this method to get everyone to stay and prove how powerful he is, then that's impossible."
The leaders of the unit have long been fed up with that screenwriter. The screenwriter has been working on it for a long time, but has not yet come up with a good result.
The screenwriter was still thinking about Shakespeare and other foreign playwrights. He felt that his talent was not appreciated, that he had not suddenly become very outstanding, which was why he was looked down upon. If someone like him could wait a few years and suddenly become a big star, the price would not be the same if others asked him to write a script again.
It's good to have ideas and dreams.
Many people think about what they want to do in the future, but how many of them can actually achieve it?
"Yeah." Qiao Yuwei said, "Just wait and see."
The screenwriter had indeed hoped that the company leader would keep him, but the company leader didn't, probably because they were afraid of upsetting Jiang Moli. The company leader was terrible, bending over backwards for a few dollars. Someone like Jiang Moli would eventually be replaced. Before leaving, the screenwriter had even badmouthed Jiang Moli to the company leader, saying she didn't give newcomers a chance and didn't let others step up.
The unit leaders were speechless when they heard this. What did they mean by Jiang Moli didn't give newcomers a chance? Jiang Moli didn't star in all the plays by herself. She was currently mainly performing in one play. Other plays were performed by people from other groups, and other people also played the leading roles, but they were not as popular as Jiang Moli.
"You're possessed," the unit leader said to the screenwriter. "Every industry has its top talents, but they can't take up all the opportunities. Others still have opportunities. Top talents only drive the industry forward and help it grow."
The unit leader instructed the relevant personnel to quickly complete the paperwork for the screenwriter and not allow him to remain at the company. Whenever the screenwriter was at the company, his expression was sullen, as if everyone at the company felt sorry for him. The unit leader had already heard about it, and since the matter wasn't a major issue, they didn't address it. If the screenwriter wanted to resign, then so be it.
The screenwriter thought that at least one or two people would try to persuade him to stay, but no one did. Some people were very happy to learn that he was leaving, and suggested that the cafeteria chef should serve more food to celebrate.
"There are many opportunities out there." Others also told the screenwriter this.
"Others will value you. They will definitely value you very much. Just do well out there."
"None of us can compare to you. You will definitely do well out there."
"Look at you, you even won an award outside. Unlike us, we can only wait for our units to recommend us. We are lucky enough to be shortlisted or nominated."
"The world outside is so vast, you must go out and see it."
…
Those who had worked with the screenwriter for several years didn't even think about him staying. If you want to leave, just leave quickly. Don't you know your level? Why are you still thinking about so many things?
The screenwriter was very angry when he heard what those people said before he left.
"You guys won't have much of a future here," the screenwriter said. "Just wait, I'm sure I'll be able to do better in the future."
The screenwriter left, and he was holding his breath. He must develop better and must slap these people in the face.
When Jiang Moli learned that the screenwriter had left their company, she thought about how he hadn't done anything in the past two or three years, running around all the time. It's good for a screenwriter to collect material, but if there's no output, that's not good either. You have to have something to show for it. And that screenwriter was obsessed with that failed script, insisting on having someone else perform it.
When Jiang Moli told Sheng Jiahao, Sheng Jiahao just said, "Don't hang out with people like this. They have no ability and only know how to boast."
"Of course." Jiang Moli nodded. She couldn't possibly associate with such a person.
Lu Min moved out of her uncle's house and went to court to file for divorce. She had no other choice because Luo Dahai was not in the same place as Lu Min. She could not find him, so she had to use this method to let others know that she really did not take the money and that it was all taken away by Luo Dahai.
When others realized that Lu Min really had no money, they stopped asking her for money. Lu Min now rents a house and lives a relatively stable life.
Mother Jiang called Uncle Lu every once in a while, worried about his health. As long as Uncle Lu was fine, Mother Jiang would be relieved.
Time passed, and soon it was time for Jiang Yuqin's adopted son to graduate from junior high school. This was around 1995. Jiang Yuqin and Ding Chao had never discussed what Ding Hongwang should do after graduating from junior high school, whether to continue studying or go straight to work. They had always said they would wait until Ding Hongwang was in his third year of junior high school.
Seeing that Ding Hongwang was about to graduate from junior high school, Ding Chao and Jiang Yuqin had to face this problem again.
"Should we send him to a vocational school?" Jiang Yuqin asked Ding Chao. They didn't have much money, and their daughter and son needed to go to school. "Or should we let him go out and work, and start early?"
