After returning from the opposite side, Li Dongyang's phone still had the video recording on.
My phone just fell into the sofa cushions.
Where did you go?
"I just went to my neighbor's house across the street."
"Why did you go to your neighbor's house for no reason?" Xia Nuan leaned back on the sofa, hugging a cushion, somewhat puzzled.
“He was drunk, and his wife couldn’t move him, so he helped out,” Li Dongyang sighed.
"Another scapegoat."
How often has the phrase "taking the blame" been used in their company?
Many leaders issue incorrect instructions, and when problems arise later, they simply shift the blame to their subordinates or lay off the scapegoat employee under the pretext of being a temporary worker.
"Isn't that just how society is these days? There's nothing strange about it."
"I learned from his wife that he also works in the film and television industry and is the publicity manager. There are problems at the top, and now he is being forced to clean up the mess. If he can't clean it up, he will be fired."
The other party dared to act so recklessly because he had to pay his mortgage and car loan.
"Then why doesn't he switch jobs?"
"It's not that he's afraid, it's that the pressure of life keeps him from making any rash moves."
Xia Nuanxin thought so too. Nowadays, which company's probation period is two or three months? You can only become a full-time employee after passing the probation period. If you don't become a full-time employee, you lose the job.
If I can't find a job right away, I still have to pay my mortgage and car loan, and support my wife and kids.
Sometimes, these mountains seem to weigh down on men, making it hard for them to breathe.
Especially when the man goes to work alone and the woman stays home to take care of the child alone, with no one to help them.
The next morning.
Li Dongyang arrived at the company early in the morning.
We'll be leaving a little earlier than usual today.
Coincidentally, Zhou Hao and Li Dongyang were at the same filming location for the past week.
First thing in the morning, I asked Li Dongyang when he would arrive.
Just last night, Zhou Hao saw a somewhat familiar face while watching a program at his hotel.
This face looks almost exactly like Li Dongyang's girlfriend; no, she's probably even prettier in person.
Zhou Hao squinted and paused the screen, carefully recalling the day he met Li Dongyang's girlfriend.
"Yes, Xia Nuan has the character 'Nuan' in her name, and Li Dongyang's girlfriend is also named Nuan Nuan."
He immediately felt that this person resembled someone else.
I just couldn't remember it for the time being.
"Wow, you're awesome, bro. You even got the nation's goddess. No wonder you broke up with You Shuang."
That's right, the beautiful woman in Li Dongyang's room is Xia Nuan.
Upon learning the truth, Zhou Hao's mouth gaped open into a huge "o".
This feeling is simply indescribable.
"Dongyang, are you still listening?"
Li Dongyang, holding his backpack in his left hand and the phone in his right, replied, "You're listening again. What's wrong? You didn't call me first thing in the morning just to ask me this, did you?"
"Who the hell has the time to ask you that?"
"I want to confirm something with you: is your girlfriend Xia Nuan?"
Li Dongyang paused as he put down his schoolbag.
"Perhaps it will be like that in the future!"
Zhou Hao frowned: "What do you mean by that?"
"You're all living together now, so what do you mean by 'later'?"
Li Dongyang is a very serious and responsible person when it comes to marriage; he dates with marriage in mind.
Instead of just playing around, the two of them are very different now, which they probably didn't realize at the beginning of their passionate relationship.
But what happens after the initial infatuation fades?
They are faced with the mundane realities of daily life, such as food, oil, salt, work, and other trivial matters.
Li Dongyang had considered it, but was now really the right time to start a relationship?
It doesn't seem to be a good fit.
Perhaps this will be possible once I achieve success in my career.
"Hello, hello!"
"Dongyang, are you listening to me?"
Do your aunt and uncle know you're dating?
Zhou Hao's voice came through the phone again.
Li Dongyang was stunned for a moment.
He took a breath and said, "Mouse, when did you become so gossipy?"
"I need to get my things ready, bye-bye!"
Li Dongyang knew that given Zhou Hao's personality, if he started this conversation, it would probably last for several hours.
Li Dongyang quickly cut his losses.
Otherwise, once his privacy is breached, it will only get bigger and bigger.
Zhou Hao looked incredulous when he saw Li Dongyang hang up the phone.
He won't talk to me, is he afraid I'll steal his girlfriend?
Although he wasn't a fan of Xia Nuan, there were often young fans in the company who talked about her.
Xia Nuan has had zero scandals in the three years since her debut. Not only is she beautiful and sings well, but her acting skills are also top-notch.
The reason Zhou Hao didn't recognize Xia Nuan immediately after she left the screen for more than half a year was because...
Zhou Hao recognized him because he was watching Li Dongyang's web series, specifically the promotional video for "Winter Sunshine and Summer Sweetness," which made him realize who he was.
This woman is a breath of fresh air in the entertainment industry. I don't know what kind of luck Li Dongyang had to get together with Xia Nuan.
To be honest, when Li Dongyang was dating You Shuang, he was a little bit sad.
Now, and even more so, with the future diva...
Even though Li Dongyang denied it, Zhou Hao was a man who had dated so many girlfriends, and he could tell at a glance that Xia Nuan was interested in Li Dongyang.
Otherwise, Xia Nuan would be so diligent when he visits his home; it's obvious she's trying to win his favor.
Of course, this is just Zhou Hao's analysis from the perspective of someone who has been through it all.
Of course, Xia Nuan's thoughts were completely opposite to Zhou Hao's.
She would definitely give Li Dongyang's brother some face; this was not only to give face to her friend, but also to give face to Li Dongyang.
Li Dongyang put the things he was going to bring into his schoolbag.
As soon as she put it away, she looked up and met Zhang Wenbing's smiling eyes.
"Teacher!" Li Dongyang addressed Zhang Wenbing only after glancing around and seeing that none of his colleagues were there.
At work, everyone calls him General Manager Zhang; only in the office will he be called Teacher.
Although everyone in the company knew he was hired through connections, he was even somewhat ostracized when he first joined.
Since this short drama became a hit, the entire scriptwriting department has remained silent.
Now, Li Dongyang has secured a major contract with Shangcheng thanks to his talent.
It's not that he's particularly good at securing contracts, but rather that the other writers he submits to are all very talented screenwriters.
Under these circumstances, Li Dongyang was able to stand out, and no one in the company could look down on him.
Zhang Wenbing handed Li Dongyang an invitation letter with a smile and said, "This was specially asked by President Lin to be given to you. Only the top executives in the entire company receive one."
Zhang Wenbing, his prized student, held Li Dongyang in high regard from the bottom of his heart. Li Dongyang did not disappoint him, and within half a year, he became the box office champion of short films and television dramas.
Some people said he was lucky.
After signing a contract with Shangcheng, no one dared to question Li Dongyang's abilities and talent.
After Zhang Wenbing left.
Li Dongyang opened the invitation. It was a New Year's Eve banquet hosted by Shangcheng. Zhang Wenbing told him that big names from various industries would be attending, and Li Dongyang should cherish this opportunity to show his skills.
