Proposal (I)
Bai Li has solidified into a physical entity.
This exciting news made Ruan Qi happy for several days. The Ruan family also breathed a sigh of relief after learning about Bai Li's situation.
Bai Li sacrificed himself to save Ruan Qi and Xi Jiu. If he really cannot be resurrected, it will be a scar in the hearts of the Ruan family.
But now, Ruan Qi participated in a dating show and managed to accumulate enough faith points to condense Bai Li into a physical form. Although the physical form is only the size of a fingernail, there is still time, and Bai Li will eventually recover.
Bai Li's resurrection solved a problem for Ruan Qi, and also made her smile these days.
But life was not so easy for a male guest who participated in the recording of the dating variety show with Ruan Qi.
Since the last recording stoppage, Jiang Hengda hadn't been heard from for quite some time. Until yesterday morning, Lan Lan, who rarely posts on Weibo, updated a photo.
There was nothing in the photo except two red books with three particularly conspicuous characters written on them:
Divorce certificate.
Lan Lan and Jiang Hengda are divorced!
On the fifth day after the first episode of the dating show ended, the two went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to go through the divorce procedures.
This news swept the entire internet like a tornado. Netizens who had seen Jiang Lan and her husband on the dating show were all confused when they saw the two divorce certificates.
[Oh my god... Is Lan Lan really divorced? It's only been a few days since she finished filming the dating variety show? What kind of Chinese speed is this?!]
I thought Lan Lan was just saying that out of anger, but I didn't expect her to actually divorce him and even quit being a wealthy young lady...
Those who watched the entire Jiang Hengda and Lan Lan livestream said Jiang Hengda deserved it. Lan Lan should have divorced long ago. Women shouldn't pick up their husbands from the trash can!
I don't care when they divorced, but I do care about how their property is divided. The Jiang family is wealthy and powerful. Can they let Lan Lan take a share of Jiang Hengda's money?
Once a female celebrity who marries a wealthy family divorces, she will face the difficult problem of property distribution.
Jiang Hengda's family is wealthy and powerful, and the Jiang family members are difficult to get along with. Everyone thinks that Lan Lan will probably not get any money.
But soon, someone provided the latest information to the general public.
Did you forget when Ruan Qi wanted to introduce Lan Lan to lawyer Fan Qi during the live broadcast of the dating show? Lan Lan did eventually contact Fan Qi, and he accepted her request, agreeing to help her with her divorce lawsuit. However, the lawsuit fell through. When the Jiang family learned that Lan Lan's lawyer was the head of Xi's legal department, they immediately relented. Fearing Xi Jiu would cause trouble for them, Jiang Hengda's parents not only personally took Jiang Hengda to the Civil Affairs Bureau to divorce Lan Lan, but also gave her a generous divorce settlement. So, there's no need to worry about Lan Lan's situation. She's now free from her perverted husband, has money, and I heard she'll be signing with Jinhua Entertainment soon. She's enjoying both career freedom and success, and she's incredibly happy.
During the live broadcast of the dating variety show, Ruan Qi did propose to introduce Fan Qi to Lan Lan. However, because it was a recording of the show at the time, many people thought it was a show effect and did not take it seriously.
However, she didn't expect that Ruan Qi actually kept her word in private and introduced Fan Qi to Lan Lan.
And Lan Lan, thanks to the help of Ruan Qi and Fan Qi, left the Jiang family very smoothly.
As for Jiang Hengda, he participated in a dating variety show but withdrew from the show midway, and had to pay a large amount of liquidated damages. This was fine, as the Jiang family was wealthy, so a few liquidated damages were nothing.
However, Jiang Hengda's overbearing performance on the show offended a host of influential figures, including Ruan Qi, Xi Jiu, and Cheng Jinyan. When Jiang's parents learned about this from others, his father suffered a heart attack and was hospitalized overnight. Jiang Hengda's older half-brother then brutally beat him up on the spot, sending him to the hospital to accompany his father despite attempts to dissuade him.
However, the Jiang family's misfortune was not over yet.
Jiang Hengda spoke rudely to Ruan Qi on the show. Ruan Qi was too tolerant to argue with him, but there were a bunch of people standing behind her who wanted to argue with Jiang Hengda.
On the day the program was recorded, Xi Jiu returned to China and called Assistant Mu as soon as he got off the plane, demanding that all cooperation between Xi's industries and the Jiang family be terminated.
The same thing happened to Ruan Munan and Cheng Jinyan. Even Ruan Fengmian and Yang Liu issued death orders to their subordinates, forbidding them to cooperate with any member of the Jiang family.
The Xi family, the Ruan family, and Cheng Jinyan, all three of the bigwigs were mobilized to collectively target the Jiang family. When the other families in the imperial capital heard the news, they were afraid of being implicated and hid their heads. No one dared to lend a hand to the Jiang family.
After learning that Jiang Hengda had offended Ruan Qi, those companies that had originally cooperated with the Jiang family also terminated their cooperation with the Jiang family for various reasons.
This time, the Jiang family was completely isolated and helpless.
Jiang Hengda's father was in a coma for two days. He woke up in a hospital ward on the third morning and soon learned about the Jiang family's current situation. He was so angry that he almost had another heart attack. Fortunately, the doctor treated him in time and saved him from the risk of being admitted to the ICU again.
However, the risk to Jiang's father was gone, but the crisis for Jiang Hengda came——
In order to save the crumbling Jiang family, Jiang's father actually publicly announced that he would remove Jiang Hengda from the Jiang family and sever the father-son relationship with him!
Everything Jiang Hengda did was his own wish and had nothing to do with the Jiang family!
This time, Jiang Hengda was dumbfounded.
He never dreamed that he would end up like this just because he participated in a dating show and said a few words to Ruan Qi.
Are the Xi family, the Ruan family, and Cheng Jinyan all crazy? Giving up so much of their own interests just to vent their anger on Ruan Qi?
It's hard to understand why a straight male like Jiang Hengda is so obsessed with sex.
Of course, he didn't have the chance to figure it out.
The day after Jiang's father publicly severed ties with the public, Jiang Hengda's half-brother kicked him out of the old house.
All of Jiang Hengda's property was frozen, and the houses under his name were taken away by the Jiang family. Lan Lan, the only person who could take care of him, divorced him again.
This time, Jiang Hengda completely became a piece of trash in the roadside trash can, and no one wanted him.
And all this has nothing to do with Ruan Qi.
After the filming of the dating show ended, she never thought about Jiang Hengda again. To her, trash like Jiang Hengda was less attractive than a cup of yogurt.
At least the yogurt is drinkable, but what can Jiang Hengda do? Create air pollution?
Ruan Qi didn't think about Jiang Hengda at all. Apart from observing Bai Li's physical form, she spent the rest of her time selecting scripts.
Ruan Qi is about to make a comeback.
After nearly three months of recuperation, her body has almost recovered. Although she is not fully recovered, she can still film and take notice as usual.
Ruan Qi wants to return to work as soon as possible so that Bai Li can recover as before.
On this day, Shen Wenqian brought in a large box of scripts.
"These are invitations from major directors both at home and abroad. I've screened them and kept the ones that suit you. Take your time to look through them. If you like any of them, tell me and I'll contact you."
Ever since winning the Golden Figure, Ruan Qi's resources have greatly improved.
Nowadays, she not only receives invitations from well-known domestic directors, but also various enviable foreign film and television resources are pouring in to her.
But Ruan Qi did not become complacent because of this. On the contrary, the more famous she became, the more rigorous she became in selecting scripts.
Not only that, she had an idea brewing in her mind.
“Brother Shen, does our company have any good scripts recently?”
Shen Wenqian, who was eating watermelon, was stunned. "Are you talking about the screenwriter team we hired with such a high salary? They do have good scripts, but they're not really suitable for your current status..."
Ruan Qi: "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if the actor is famous or not, as long as it's a good script."
Shen Wenqian frowned in confusion. "Don't you like any of these scripts? I've seen many well-known foreign directors offer you a role, but you didn't take any of them?"
Shen Wenqian is not worshipping foreign things, but the domestic film and television creation has been too sluggish in recent years. Even the works of well-known directors cannot show their full potential due to various issues such as funding, investors, and industry regulations.
Therefore, Shen Wenqian hopes that Ruan Qi will choose scripts from the invitations from major foreign directors and give full play to her abilities.
But Ruan Qi shook his head and expressed his thoughts.
"I don't think domestic scripts are worse than those from abroad. In recent years, many new directors have emerged in China, and their scripts are very good."
Shen Wenqian: "But the current environment..."
"That's not a problem for me," Ruan Qi said with a relaxed and confident tone. "I have money, connections, and resources. As long as the script is solid, I can create the best creative conditions for it."
If someone else said this, Shen Wenqian would definitely think that the other person was bragging.
But Ruan Qi does have this ability. She isn't capital, yet she can control and suppress it. She dares to shoot works that others dare not. She has a hundred ways to subdue those others dare not offend.
Therefore, what Shen Wenqian was worried about were not a problem for Ruan Qi.
Looking at Ruan Qi's confident smile, Shen Wenqian's heart suddenly settled down.
He breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Then I'll search for the works of new domestic directors and screenwriters and send them to you when I'm done."
——
Shen Wenqian acted quickly. In less than a week, he sent another box of scripts.
Ruan Qi spent a long time choosing from these scripts, and finally, one that amazed her and satisfied her greatly stood out.
After that, Ruan Qi acted very quickly in terms of investment, crew formation, casting... and with sufficient funds, the filming team soon took shape.
At this time, three months had passed since Ruan Qi woke up from the hospital.
The dating variety show she and Xi Jiu participated in had already finished filming. Throughout the four live episodes, Ruan Qi and Xi Jiu's popularity skyrocketed, and Ruan Qi's personal Weibo followers exceeded 150 million.
As her popularity grew, Bai Li in her sea of consciousness also grew gradually.
At first, the body was the size of a fingernail, then gradually became the size of a baby's fist, until now, Bai Li has grown into a little man who is half the size of an adult woman's palm.
At this moment, a little man, half the size of a palm, with white hair scattered all over his head, was lying in Ruan Qi's sea of consciousness and making a scene.
"I want to go out! I don't want to stay here, I want to go out and eat spicy hot pot! Eat snail noodles! Eat ice cream!"
It was still the familiar voice and tone. Except for the different body shape, Bai Li, who woke up from her sleep, had not changed at all compared to before.
Yes, Bai Li woke up.
The day he grew to the size of half a palm, he woke up from his deep sleep.
However, before Ruan Qi had time to be happy, Bai Li let out a sharp explosion.
If this explosion had happened to anyone else, Ruan Qi wouldn't have taken it seriously. But Bai Li lived in her sea of consciousness, and when he exploded, Ruan Qi's brain nearly exploded.
"What the hell! What the hell! Ahh ...
Bai Li couldn't accept herself becoming smaller and wished she could close her eyes and die again.
But Ruan Qi would definitely not let him die. She had finally saved him, and even if this old man had to be Thumbelina for the rest of his life, he had to live well for her.
So, Bai Li survived reluctantly.
But while he survived, his heart died. He lost his abdominal muscles, his double doors, and even his freedom.
Without his freedom, Bai Li would throw a tantrum in Ruan Qi's mind every day, asking for spicy hot pot or going out to the movies. His body had shrunk, and it seemed his mental age had shrunk too, making him look like a childish ghost.
Ruan Qi kindly comforted him, "Uncle Bai Li, once I have accumulated enough faith points, you will be able to grow up. Just wait a little longer, and your wish will come true sooner or later."
"How sooner or later is sooner?" Bai Li stopped raging. "Can it be realized next month?"
“…”
Ruan Qi was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Uncle Bai Li, why don't you get some sleep first? Dreams can be full of all sorts of things."
Bai Li: "..."
Bai Li wiped his face in grief and anger, and sat up from his sea of consciousness with his palm-sized body, looking at the outside world through Ruan Qi's perspective.
"Seventh girl, what are you doing? Are you packing your luggage? Are you going out of town to attend another announcement?"
"No." Ruan Qi opened the suitcase and put it on the ground, answering Bai Li's question, "I want to go back to my hometown."
Bai Li: "Hometown? Qingyun Village?"
"Yes."
Seeing Ruan Qi's happy face, Bai Li asked her doubtfully, "Aren't you going to film a movie? Why are you going back to Qingyun Village? Did something happen back home?"
"No." Ruan Qi took out two pieces of clothing, folded them and put them in the suitcase, smiling and explaining to Bai Li, "Nothing happened back home. I'm going back for vacation. Not just me, but my grandparents, my parents, and everyone else is going back too!"
This decision was just discussed by the Ruan family a few days ago.
The capital was too hot in August, with the temperature approaching 40 degrees Celsius. The elderly Grandpa and Grandma Ruan couldn't stand it and almost suffered from heatstroke a few days ago.
In order to let the two elderly people spend the summer safely, the Ruan family discussed and decided to send them back to Qingyun Village where the temperature is cooler.
The Ruan family elders were old and certainly couldn't go back to live alone. Nie Beilou happened to have nothing to do, so he suggested going back with the elders.
As soon as Nie Beilou returned, Nie Heng, who had been bored lately, also became interested. It wasn't that he was afraid of the heat, but Da Hui and Xiao Hui felt that the temperature in the capital was too high, and the ground was too hot for their feet. They would rather stay in the air-conditioned room and dig a nest than go out for a walk every day.
As we all know, if the director of the demolition office doesn't take a walk, the only thing that will suffer in the end is the furniture.
Over the past seven days, Dahui and Xiaohui had chewed through two sets of Ruan's sofas. Those sofas were made of genuine leather and solid wood, worth millions. Even if the Ruan family were wealthy, they couldn't afford such abuse.
That's why Nie Heng came up with the idea of taking Dahui and Xiaohui back to Qingyun Village.
Here it comes~ The mysterious Qingyun Village is about to begin, and Mr. Xi will be taken back by Ruanbao to meet his fellow villagers!
My broken nail still hurts, but it's better than it was yesterday. People who always get manicures have nails that are so fragile they can't handle even the slightest pressure. The slightest bit of pressure will break them. Oh, everyone should just do less manicures...
