Chapter 12 We probably can't go back to the past.



The next morning.

Li Dongyang gets up early; he has a habit of cooking for himself.

Of course, I also cooked a portion for Xia Nuan.

Last night, this woman went to the bathroom to take a shower, and she fell down after only a short while. If he hadn't gone over to help her up, people would probably have said he was inhuman.

If you say you're helping him, people will probably accuse you of taking advantage of them.

After a moment of internal struggle, Li Dongyang, upholding the spirit of saving lives, carried the naked Xia Nuan into the bedroom.

In this situation, there's no way to avoid getting stuck in the oil.

Fortunately, the woman was wearing a shower cap and her hair wasn't wet, otherwise it would have been another problem.

Li Dongyang was eating breakfast at the dining table.

My phone, which hadn't rung in a long time, suddenly rang.

He picked up his phone and saw that it was a WeChat message from Shuang.

"Dongyang, are you alright?"

When Li Dongyang saw the message from Shuang, he felt like laughing.

She slept with an investor behind his back and then asked him if he was okay.

He stared at his phone for a long time, his dim eyes devoid of any light.

"I'm doing fine, so you don't need to worry about me."

It wasn't until Li Dongyang finished breakfast that Shuang sent the second message.

"I've finalized my salary for this film, 1.5 million yuan. Once we receive this salary, we can buy a house of our own."

Li Dongyang remained silent for a while.

He didn't know how to describe You Shuang at this moment.

Then his fingers flew across the touchscreen.

Why would you do such a thing?

You Shuang was well aware of what Li Dongyang was talking about. After a moment of silence, another message flashed on her phone screen.

"I don't want us to live in a rented apartment after we get married. I just want a home of our own."

Li Dongyang: "I will prepare for the house and other things, and the web series I wrote is also going to start filming. Maybe I can earn a lot of revenue after it is released."

You Shuang: "You said it yourself, who knows? How long will it take you to make money? I got my 1.5 million as soon as I signed the contract."

"I don't want our child to be born into a rented apartment."

"I don't care about anything else."

Perhaps she is right, but has she considered the consequences of doing such a thing?

Li Dongyang's face turned pale as he gritted his teeth and quickly pressed the keys on the nine-square grid.

"So you're willing to trade your dignity for money?"

Li Dongyang waited for a long time but did not receive a reply from Youshuang. He then sent Youshuang a final message: "Youshuang, what you pursued was not wrong, but we probably can't go back to the past."

He really wanted to say that he had already bought the house and would add her name to it after they got married.

However, it's no use saying all this now.

Once a glass is cracked, it can never be the same again.

"Now that you're in the sea, enjoy your time swimming in the ocean!"

I wish you great success in the future.

After logging out of WeChat, Li Dongyang silently turned off his phone, cleared the table, picked up his briefcase, and went to the company.

The earth will keep spinning no matter who's gone, won't it?

In the days that followed, he devoted himself entirely to his work.

I completed the entire outline and plot in just 3 days.

Today is the last day to finish the manuscript.

Perhaps because of its realistic portrayal, Li Dongyang's later scripts featured rich plots, distinct characters, and the male lead finding his own love and achieving success in both his career and personal life.

This is a very good ending, and it's the ending the audience wanted.

According to the usual schedule, selected scripts are generally prepared within a week.

Location scouting, casting, costumes, and so on.

Of course, all Li Dongyang needs to do after that is follow along; he doesn't need to do anything else.

Before leaving get off work, Zhang Wenbing made a special trip to Li Dongyang's office to bring him a jar of radishes that He Qin had pickled herself.

He remembered that Shuang liked it, so He Qin had always been thinking about it. He had been eating it for about half a month, and it was probably almost finished.

It just so happens that tomorrow is Sunday, so he's giving the kid two extra days off so he can relax and get his emotions and schedule back in order.

Writing so many drafts in 3 days must have meant staying up a lot of nights.

"I'll take advantage of these few days off to go see You Shuang."

They are young and energetic, but Zhang Wenbing has been through it all; being separated from someone for a long time is not easy.

This is to give him special access.

Zhang Wenbing placed the glass jar on Li Dongyang's desk, patted him on the shoulder, and asked, "What's wrong? Are you too happy that your teacher gave you a holiday?"

"Teacher, I don't need a holiday."

"No holiday?"

"You don't need a holiday, but others have two."

"Silly boy, spend more time with her."

"No need, she's doing fine over there, she has someone to keep her company."

"Teacher, if there's nothing else, I'll head back now." Usually, this kid would be the first to fly to You Shuang after completing a task. What's wrong with him today?

Seeing that Li Dongyang kept refusing, I felt something was wrong.

Zhang Wenbing reached out and touched his own forehead, then touched Li Dongyang's forehead. "No fever!"

She asked with concern, "Dongyang, what's wrong? You seem a little off today."

Li Dongyang replied, "Nothing."

The more he said this, the more worried Zhang Wenbing became. After a few seconds of silence, he placed the jar in Li Dongyang's hand.

He knew this kid's personality too well; if he didn't want to talk, you couldn't pry his mouth open even with a steel bar.

After Li Dongyang left

Zhang Wenbing bumped into Li Songbai as he entered the elevator, and the two chatted for a few minutes.

"We received news from Wang Jiansheng today that there isn't enough funding, so they need to finish filming the previous dramas first. If there are any remaining funds, they will film this one."

"Not enough funding?" Zhang Wenbing asked in return.

Li Songbai nodded.

Extraordinary companies are large corporations; they have a plethora of investors.

Telling him there's not enough funding is just fooling people; if you don't want to film, just say so.

Wang Jiansheng and Lego have been working at Superb for several years, and they have a good grasp of scripts.

But Li Dongyang wrote a realistic script, which, in their words, had no appeal and they were afraid the audience wouldn't like it. In other words, it was a waste of their time, and if it was filmed, it would just sink without a trace.

They might as well take advantage of this time to shoot more Lunar New Year films and make a fortune later.

The web series is popular, so their bonuses are naturally high, so they dare not gamble their year-end bonus on Li Dongyang's urban drama.

Of course we'll take pictures, but it'll have to be next year, by which time it'll be too late.

He knew exactly what kind of farts those two were about to let out the moment they stuck their butts out.

Zhang Wenbing frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Recently, two newcomers joined the web series team. I think these two kids are quite enthusiastic. Bring Dongyang's script back and give it to them."

"Their lack of optimism doesn't mean there's no market for this kind of urban drama. Look around, which hit drama isn't a traditional urban drama?"

"If you don't want to answer, then don't answer. It's like the one who eats shit is blocking the one who empties it. What kind of talk is that?"

"When this show becomes a hit, don't come crying to me." Zhang Wenbing had a fiery temper.
