Chapter 47
Jiang Mingyue only wanted to explain so much and resolve the issue, so she ended the group chat directly; however, she also saved all the audio recordings.
One should not have the heart to harm others, but one should not be without the heart to guard against others.
Once Fu Xiachuan has actually transferred the shares to her, Jiang Mingyue will delete these recordings and videos, but for now, she must keep them.
After tidying up, Jiang Mingyue did her usual evening stretching, then took a shower and went to sleep.
The next morning, the birdsong outside her bed failed to wake Jiang Mingyue, but the incessant ringing of her phone dragged her out of her deep sleep.
"...Hello?" Jiang Mingyue's nasal voice came through the phone.
"Mingyue, still not up? I'll give you ten minutes to get out. I'll take you to the dormitory the company found for you to familiarize yourself with the place." Gu Yifan's voice sounded a little surprised, but he regained his usual professionalism by the second sentence.
Jiang Mingyue sat up abruptly in bed, rushed into the bathroom within five seconds, splashed water on her face, and while squeezing toothpaste with one hand, answered clearly, "I'll be right down."
Before he could finish speaking, he had already shoved the toothbrush into his mouth.
Just five minutes later, Jiang Mingyue, wearing socks and flat shoes, grabbed her canvas bag and rushed out the door.

Gu Yifan always uses a nanny van when he goes out, and Jiang Mingyue easily recognized his location and quickly jumped into the car.
He Rui was also sitting in the car. When he saw Jiang Mingyue, he handed her a peeled orange and asked with a smile, "Are you feeling a little out of sorts after coming back from the film set?"
Besides Gu Yifan and He Rui, there were two other young people, a man and a woman. Both of them were quite ordinary-looking. The girl was a little chubby and looked very approachable; the man had long arms and legs and looked like someone who could do heavy work.
The crew's rooms were actually more spacious than the ones she was living in now.
Jiang Mingyue smiled but didn't reply, only lowered her eyes to peel the orange.
He Rui didn't need any straight man at all and continued on his own: "I think the accommodation issue you raised through Google is very meaningful. Since the company wants to manage its artists more conveniently and keep track of their whereabouts to the greatest extent, then the company should establish a sound accommodation system. For artists with families, the company should also help protect their families."
The van started and drove very smoothly on the road.
After passing two traffic lights, the van turned left into the alley.
At the end of the alley, two previously unmanaged residential buildings have been repainted in a low-key and calming gray-brown color.
The guard post and two cast-iron gates stand outside the building, enclosing it along with a wall.
He Rui raised his eyebrows smugly: "Shall we go down and take a look?"
How could I not want to go and see?
This place is even closer to the hospital than the single room I rented before; it's just around the corner after I step out the door.
Jiang Mingyue swallowed hard, a joyful smile involuntarily spreading across her face, and she was the first to run off the bus.
She turned around anxiously and urged, "Which building, which unit, and which floor is my dormitory in?"
“The innermost one of the first buildings—it’s Unit 1, sixth floor.” This time, it wasn’t He Rui who answered, but Gu Yifan, who was carrying two huge bedding bags out of the van.
He followed closely behind Jiang Mingyue, his steps quick, his mouth as busy as his feet: "There's an elevator, so you don't have to climb the stairs yourself. The first unit consists of small apartments, so they combined two rooms on the sixth floor, making the total interior space 98 square meters. The two bedrooms are quite small, but they've partitioned off an extra walk-in closet. The living room has been converted into a practice room. The kitchen is usable."
The 98㎡ house is actually quite spacious for just the mother and daughter.
Jiang Mingyue was surprised as soon as she entered the elevator—the externally installed elevator was actually a spacious one that could fit a hospital emergency bed.
When she got to the sixth floor, she was even more surprised.
The house had clearly been renovated; all the windows were open, and the smell of paint was wafting through.
The room is furnished with old-fashioned furniture, but all of it is made of solid wood.
Large appliances such as range hoods, washing machines, and refrigerators are already in place.
You can move in immediately after laying out the bedding.
She blinked in disbelief: "I've only been on set for a little over ten days, how did you manage to acquire two buildings and complete the renovations?"
"This is the property of the fourth brother's mother. I don't know what deal the fourth brother made with his mother. The company just accelerated the renovation of one unit. You're on the sixth floor. Those young men you saw last night live downstairs from you." He Rui proudly raised his head.
He Rui was carrying two bags of bedding, just like Gu Yifan. After entering the room, the two of them put their things down together.
He Rui rubbed his hands, which were red from being squeezed by the bag: "Oh, right, the bedding was also a company benefit. One set of goose down and one set of silk."
He tossed the key to Jiang Mingyue, saying, "You can move in anytime."
Gu Yifan added a few more instructions: "If you need help with your luggage, call Xiao Liu and Xiao Li. They are your assistants together. You two can add each other's contact information. I have other things to do, so contact me after 9 pm if you need anything."
Gu Yifan and He Rui went out together, then turned back: "Oh, by the way, a new instant messaging platform has recently appeared and it's become incredibly popular. You could register for one, express your gratitude for the help you've received from the media and society in the past, and share your recent activities. Be subtle and mention that you've participated in the filming of a TV series."
She knows you've registered for Weibo.
"Yes, I know how to do it." As Jiang Mingyue agreed, she took out a notebook from her canvas bag, opened it, and showed Gu Yifan the receipts tucked inside.
Gu Yifan, who was in a hurry to leave, clutched the thin receipt and suddenly couldn't move.
He hesitated several times before finally handing the receipt back to Jiang Mingyue, solemnly instructing, "Keep this safe, don't show it now. We'll make a big splash later."
Before he could even speak, Gu Yifan's face lit up with uncontrollable joy. His radiant appearance made him seem nothing like someone who was about to go to the TV station to argue with He Rui.

"I need to clean the room. Shall we go shopping first?" Jiang Mingyue invited with a smile.
An artist's body is a commodity, and maintaining the artist's health is the most basic job of an assistant.
The two assistants immediately grabbed Jiang Mingyue: "Sister Jiang, you're sitting at home, we can't let you do any work, let us go."
"Well, thank you for your trouble. Just buy a few rags and a bucket of dish soap, and please buy me some extra beef. The PIN is six eights." Jiang Mingyue handed them her bank card and sat down obediently.
After everyone left, Jiang Mingyue immediately dismantled the new quilt, laid it on the bed, took off her shoes, and lay down.
I haven't slept enough, I'm so sleepy.
The new humiliation feels so good.
Sleepiness quickly returned, and Jiang Mingyue groggily turned over. Suddenly remembering Gu Yifan's instructions to register for Weibo, she sat up abruptly, opened her phone, and smiled again.
—She really wanted to make it, but her old-fashioned phone simply didn't have that feature.
"The thrifty persona really doesn't suit me; I still need to get a new phone," Jiang Mingyue chuckled.
She asked Fu Xiachuan for his phone a moment later. There's nothing wrong with asking for it; there's nothing to be embarrassed about.
