Chapter 49 Jiang Can did not directly refuse...
Jiang Can did not refuse outright, but inquired in detail about the filming duration of the drama, which was approximately two months.
Forty thousand yuan in three months?
The salary was very high, and Jiang Can said he would consider it, but actually he wanted to discuss it with Shen Lang.
Next up was the fun barbecue. Everyone worked together to prepare the food, which was plentiful. The meats included lamb, chicken wings, black peppers, and shrimp, while the vegetables included chili peppers, chives, enoki mushrooms, and corn.
Lamb, chicken wings, and fish taste even better when marinated with onions, salt, pepper, cumin, and chili powder. With fresh ingredients, they'll taste delicious no matter how you grill them.
As dusk fell, the lights in the yard were turned on. Under the lights, Yang Song set up a barbecue grill in the yard, lit the charcoal fire, and began grilling meat.
On the table were fruit platters, cold side dishes, and lamb skewers. Shen Lang and Yang Song were mainly in charge of the barbecue, while Jiang Can and the other two were mainly responsible for eating, drinking, and chatting.
We ate our meal until after 10 p.m. before going back to our room to rest.
Jiang Can chatted with Shen Lang about being an actor. Shen Lang replied, "Whatever makes you happy."
Jiang Can: "Then I'll film one first and see if I enjoy it."
The following day, Jiang Can and Shen Lang attended the Henan Provincial Commendation Conference in their individual capacities. Shen Lang and Jiang Can captured two notorious bandits, Liu Baolong and Zhao Yuling, and made outstanding contributions to the Liaoxian University impersonation case. They were awarded second-class merit and received a bonus of 5,000 yuan.
Henan Provincial Public Security University and Henan Provincial Military University exceptionally admitted Shen Lang and Jiang Can.
As for how to choose, that's up to Shen Lang and Jiang Can.
Shen Lang, in particular, possesses exceptional overall qualities. He can take on armed bandits single-handedly and would be a top soldier if he joined the army. The military is eager for Shen Lang to enter the military academy.
Director Liang Yi of the Public Security Bureau felt that Jiang Can and Shen Lang were both very suitable for joining the public security system! The two of them directly took down the top official of Zhou City, causing a major reshuffle in the Liao County officialdom. They were smart, cautious, brave, and lucky! If they had been any one of these flaws, they would probably be dead! They are excellent candidates to be criminal investigators!
Shen Lang and Jiang Can delivered their acceptance speeches, took photos with provincial leaders, and concluded the morning's commendation ceremony.
Afterwards, Liang Yi took the two to the cafeteria for lunch and asked them what their plans were and where they intended to study.
Shen Lang was stunned when he first heard about the reward. He graduated from elementary school, which was considered an education in the 1960s and 70s, but in the 1990s, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was illiterate. Now he was being admitted to university through a special exception!
In the past, he wouldn't have dared to even think about it.
Having calmed down, he weighed the pros and cons and chose Henan Provincial Public Security University.
Police officers have more freedom. If he joined the military, how would he see his wife every day? How would he make money every day?
As for whether he will fall behind after starting school, it's not a big problem. With his brain, how could he not keep up? If he really can't, Jiang Can can teach him.
Jiang Can had no intention of becoming a police officer or a soldier; she continued to take the college entrance exam.
After having dinner, the two said goodbye to Liang Yi, and Zhou Bing picked up Jiang Can and Shen Lang to meet the director and producer of the TV series "League of Gods".
As soon as the two got into the car, Zhou Bing looked at their medals with admiration. Good heavens, a living first-class merit!
The date was arranged at a teahouse. Director Xu Lin and producer Jiang Meili were very satisfied when they saw Jiang Can and Shen Lang. Their appearances were amazing; both were stunning beauties with excellent bone structure and no flaws in their features. Crucially, they were also very distinctive. Jiang Can's almond-shaped eyes were incredibly lively, while Shen Lang's peach blossom eyes were captivating and affectionate. They would definitely be a star if they entered the entertainment industry.
Director Xu asked Jiang Can to try out a crying scene. The female lead in the drama is delicate and charming, and her crying scene was extremely beautiful.
Jiang Can composed himself, and soon his eyes filled with tears, a string of tears rolling down his cheeks.
Director Xu made the final decision and strongly invited Shen Lang to play the male lead.
Director: "You two are a married couple, so it's perfect that you play a married couple."
Shen Lang is more suitable for the role of a dashing and debonair male lead than Yang Song!
If it were six months ago, Shen Lang would have agreed without hesitation, but he doesn't have time to film now. He still has to go back to build the factory. How much money can he make from filming?
Moreover, I have to come to the Public Security University in a few days to participate in a physical fitness test.
He politely declined with a smile, and then subtly inquired about the amount of intimate scenes involved.
Zhou Bing couldn't help but laugh: "No."
After setting a start date, Jiang Can and Shen Lang returned to Liao County.
Shen Lang should get the factory up and running as soon as possible. Once it's on track, the rest can be handed over to Zhu Zi and Zhan Junzhuo.
Jiang Can remained calm, but the biggest problem now was Hu Zi. They had all left, so who would take care of Hu Zi?
Shen Lang: "Once he starts school, I'll see if I can rent a place nearby and bring Hu Zi over so he can go out with me more often. For now, Fang Yuan will take care of him."
Jiang Can was reluctant to part with him, but she had no choice but to leave him like this for the time being. She missed Hu Zi after just one day in the provincial capital, and even felt that he had lost weight. As soon as she got home, she cooked a pot of delicious meat and vegetables for Hu Zi, and then took him for a walk. She found a large, empty space where Hu Zi could run around freely.
The following morning, the mayor of Zhou City, the mayor of Zhou City, the standing committee member and secretary of the Liao County Party Committee, the county head, and the director of the Public Security Bureau came to the home and presented a plaque inscribed "Family of a First-Class Hero" and a bonus of 2,000 yuan.
Jiang Can and Shen Lang, one holding a plaque and the other a large bonus, posed for a group photo with the leaders.
The neighbors all came to see, they had never seen such a high-ranking leader before, it was really too grand.
One person's merit brings glory to the entire city!
After the leaders left, the two were surrounded by neighbors praising them, and even the property management of Xingfu City came over and gave them a 500 yuan red envelope as a reward.
After everyone dispersed, Shen Lang and Jiang Can went out together. Shen Lang went to Dongping City to visit the textile factory, while Jiang Can went to Moling No. 1 Middle School to take the midterm exam.
Jiang Can was still late. She had already finished most of the Chinese exam. She apologized to the old principal, "I'm sorry I'm late. When I left this morning, leaders from the city and county came to our house to deliver good news, which delayed me."
The old principal also felt that Jiang Can wouldn't have deliberately been late for the exam. He had a very good impression of Jiang Can, and when he heard Jiang Can say this, he asked him in detail. When he learned that Jiang Can had won a first-class merit, he was so excited that his face turned red, and he said repeatedly, "Good, good, good!" This is also an honor for their school! "You can do the questions in the office this morning, and I'll time you. Then go to the exam room to take the exam."
The old principal gave Jiang Can a Chinese language test paper and then continued with his work.
Jiang Can took the test paper and read the questions first. They weren't difficult. She picked up her pen and started answering the questions. She wrote the Chinese test paper slowly and spent some time on the composition. She finished the English test paper very quickly and finished it before the school bell rang.
We ate lunch at the school cafeteria with the former principal.
Jiang Can felt that the math and humanities exams in the afternoon were not a problem. She had done similar problems to the last two big questions on the math paper before, and the humanities exam was also a subject she was good at.
After finishing the exam, I rode my bicycle home with a stack of test papers in my arms.
Moling No.1 Middle School is next to Liaoxian County. It takes about 40 minutes by bicycle. On the way, she met a fishmonger and bought a grass carp to make boiled fish for dinner.
When we arrived at Happiness City, we saw a banner hanging at the entrance that read, "Welcome Mr. Shen and Ms. Jiang, the great heroes who have been awarded the First-Class Merit, to Happiness City."
Jiang Can: ...
She had only been home a short time when the sales director and property manager of Happiness City came over with several employees. They brought rice, flour, and cooking oil for Jiang Can and also sponsored the installation of a telephone in her home.
Jiang Can found it hard to refuse, so he didn't pursue the matter of the banner.
The sales manager of Xingfu City was overjoyed. The previous rumors of a robbery that killed four people in Xingfu City had greatly affected the sales. Now that there was the "first-class merit" award, the reputation could finally be changed. Whenever someone came in to buy a house, the first thing to do was to publicize that Xingfu City had a hero who had won the first-class merit award.
That evening, Jiang Can's neighbor Miao Miao called him over to answer a phone call, saying it was from Shen Lang.
After Jiang Can answered the phone, Shen Lang said he wouldn't be coming back today; he would finish up things at the textile factory in the next couple of days.
Unfortunately, Shen Lang didn't come back, so Jiang Can had to eat boiled fish by himself.
She didn't eat any staple food, but finished a three-pound grass carp all by herself. After the meal, she took Hu Zi to digest.
Mmm, I'm stuffed!
She clutched her stomach and took Tiger for a walk. As soon as she came downstairs, a familiar-looking woman smiled and said, "Can Can is pregnant? You're about two months along, aren't you?"
