Chapter 184 Charity Gala

After hearing Su Yun's slightly nasal response from the other end of the phone, Chen Boyang, who was playing and singing softly, finally put down his hands that were jumping on the keys.

After saying goodnight to Su Yun in the most gentle voice possible, he put down the piano cover and let out a long sigh of relief.

In addition to the song "Ripples" he composed, Su Yun later asked him to play two classic English songs - the three songs together only took about ten minutes, but Su Yun was already very sleepy.

You can imagine how tired she was during this period.

This is probably what it feels like when you really like someone: you are watching her every move all the time, you feel happy when she is happy, and you feel depressed and worried when she is unhappy or uncomfortable.

This new song, which was originally intended to express his feelings, was finally delivered to the person in his heart tonight. However, he still did not sing it to express his feelings to Su Yun tonight.

However, this time, it was not that he did not have the courage to confess, but that he made a new decision after careful consideration.

Compared to many people today who want to let the whole world know when they like someone, after experiencing the previous scandal, he felt that it was just his own business and he shouldn't express it selfishly and cause trouble to others.

Thinking deeper than what he had thought about before, Su Yun is now a newly appointed member of the management, while he is a contracted artist of the TV station. Even if he can successfully express his feelings, they will inevitably be subjected to some malicious looks and speculations.

It was also the Weng Jingjing incident that made him realize that in this day and age, spreading gossip is also a way to gain attention.

If both parties agree, then everyone is happy; if one party disagrees and the other party still bundles and hypes it up, then that would be a bit unethical.

If he had confessed his feelings without knowing Su Yun's thoughts, wouldn't he be taking advantage of their more familiar relationship and repeating the way Weng Jingjing took advantage of the opportunity to gain power?

He himself felt angry and sad when he was tricked by his trusted new friend. How could he bear to let Su Yun, who was both his old friend and his sweetheart, face such a situation - even though he knew that Su Yun would do better than him in such a situation.

But he really couldn't bear to do so.

Therefore, I can only maintain the status quo, bury the growing love deep in my heart, like her quietly, work hard quietly, and try not to disturb Su Yun's current stable status quo until I can reach the same level as her.

Perhaps in this world, dreams that will never come true are the most unforgettable, and the feeling of uncertainty is where the beauty lies.

This distance that seems far and near makes people confused and helplessly indulge in it.

After thinking this through, Chen Boyang fell heavily onto the bed as if he was exhausted.

Although he had made the decision, doing so was truly tormenting and cruel to him.

Compared to the past when I went to nightclubs and bars, there were always several beautiful girls around me, dancing on the dance floor, drinking at the bar, and having fun in all kinds of ways... Finally, when the sun rose, I was alone sleeping in the big bed at home.

And now, even though the distance between them is as close as a world away, he always feels that his heart is always with her, and he no longer feels lonely and cold in his heart.

It turns out that when you truly love someone, it is so hard, but it always carries a little bit of sweetness that seems to be deceiving yourself?

Before going to bed, Chen Boyang's gaze drifted towards the window where the stars and the moon were exceptionally bright after the rain: the legendary Qixi rain has passed, so will tomorrow be the day for the rain to stop and the sky to clear up?

I hope tomorrow will be a nice day.

The following days seemed to be spent by everyone busy with work, and in the blink of an eye, the summer vacation seemed to be leaving the hot summer behind.

A few days after Weng Jingjing voluntarily left the crew, PA Gao Zhichen, who was involved in the scandal between Chen and Weng, was also fired by the TV station after it was discovered that he had casually leaked information to paparazzi to frame the lead actor of the crew.

He was quite quick and decisive. After explaining the situation to Chen Boyue and apologizing, he packed his personal belongings in a box and began to say goodbye to the crew.

"I always feel that they shouldn't punish you so severely..." Chen Boyang stepped forward and stopped him.

Compared to directors who are busy competing with rivals and therefore have a lot of pressure and a bad temper during filming, Chen Baiyang is definitely more familiar with staff such as PAs like Gao Zhichen who are responsible for a variety of chores.

After knowing that Gao Zhichen did not exaggerate but only made some speculations that led to misunderstandings, Chen Po-yang, as the person involved, was the first to forgive him.

"No need, Danny. Actually, a few of my friends have been asking me to form a partnership with them to start a film company. They have invited me several times, but I haven't decided whether to continue working in a TV station for stability or to take the risk of starting my own business..." Gao Zhichen waved his hands. "It's good now. I can use my savings to invest in my friends' company. I don't have to worry about choosing between the two!"

Since Gao Zhichen had said this, Chen Baiyang couldn't persuade him any further, so he just casually asked the name of the film company and said that he would definitely support it when the time comes.

"Our current idea is to name it 'True Art Presentation' - which means to present truly innovative film art to the audience." Gao Zhichen thought for a moment and reported the company name proposed by the seven of them.

"It should be officially open for business in about the next month." Gao Zhichen thought for a moment and added.

After blessing Gao Zhichen who was about to resign to start his own business, Chen Baiyang hurriedly went to put on makeup and prepare for the photo shoot.

Time has quickly come to the end of this month. August is the month with the most severe summer heat. If there is no air conditioning in Hong Kong, the heat will be almost fatal.

"Grandma, how many times have I told you to ask those aunties and grandmas to come over here to play mahjong? We have air conditioning at home, but it's so hot out there at the stairwell of the housing estate!" Su Yun was furious when she discovered that Grandma Su had once again secretly taken the bus back to So Uk Estate to play mahjong with her old neighbors.

"But it's not the same feeling at home..." Grandma Su said aggrievedly, like an old child, "and it's not very hot there, there are fans and cross-ventilation..."

Hearing Grandma Su's rebuttal, Su Yun shook her head unhappily: It's not that she doesn't support Grandma Su going back to visit her old neighbors in the housing estate. Sometimes when Auntie Wang next door is free, she will go back with Grandma Su to reminisce about the past.

However, in this hot summer weather, even though Grandma Su has maintained a good physical condition with careful care over the past few years, it is always troublesome for the elderly if they have an accident.

Just like Grandma Su was famous for her toughness in the housing estate, but she accidentally fell once and almost got into trouble.

With this previous experience as a lesson, Su Yun really paid attention to Grandma Su's physical condition.

However, as Su Yun grew older, her dignity increased and her coquettishness decreased. Grandma Su, who was soft-hearted, was no longer impressed by her coquettishness and began to pursue independence like a rebellious teenager...

Of course, this situation is not really a rebellious period, it is just a quarrel between the two grandmothers, and they can then negotiate a solution that everyone is satisfied with.

"It's agreed that you guys play mahjong at home tonight, and tomorrow I'll let Aunt Wang next door go back to Suwu Village with you." The clothing factory of the Wang family next door has been put on the right track under the leadership of the Wang father and son. When Aunt Wang is free, she always comes over to chat with Grandma Su.

After all, we are old neighbours who moved here from So Uk Estate and we used to live together. We are like family members.

For someone like Su Yun who flies back and forth frequently, a large part of her companionship and filial piety to Grandma Su depends on the Wang family next door - this is why she has not moved to the Mid-Levels area, which is reserved for the rich, even though she has made so much money.

It is convenient for her and the Wang family to go to work here, and it is close to So Uk Estate. Most of the people nearby are middle- and upper-class so the security is good. There are also no rich people who look down on others like in the Mid-Levels. Before the housing prices in Hong Kong rise again, Su Yun has no plans to move to a new house for the time being.

"I have a charity party to attend tonight, and it will be broadcast on TV. Anyway, when I come back, I want to see that you have gone to bed..." Su Yun naggingly explained to the maid Jennifer, and then added to Grandma Su, "Now that I am here, you are not allowed to play mahjong all night, not even late at night!"

"Yes, grandma, do you remember that last time you played mahjong too late at night and you felt uncomfortable the next day? You can't do this again. Susu and I will be worried." The Mei sisters also spoke up to persuade her.

After getting the assurance from Grandma Su, Su Yun felt relieved to take the Mei sisters into the car and head to the TBB TV station together.

"Mary, over here!" Zhang Querong waved and called out when he saw Su Yun and the other two appear at the door.

Following the number plate, they came to the small round table in the back row of the corner that Su Yun had specially arranged for her people. Su Yun then took the Mei sisters to sit down: "See, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't be able to sit in such a good seat!"

The front row of a charity gala is particularly easy to be captured by cameras. It would be fine if the show was exciting, but there are always some wealthy ladies, bosses and the like who, when donating money, always want to sing with the artists who are performing on stage to raise funds.

Not only is the singing at KTV level, but some are tone-deaf and have to lip-sync to the carefully edited recordings.

But this is the tacit rule that everyone recognizes: these wealthy people have donated hundreds of thousands of dollars for charity, so it is not a shame to let artists and singers sing a song with them. It can also allow the audience in front of the TV to see that many prominent figures in the political and business circles actually sing at the level of ordinary people... Maybe it can also give them a sense of being down-to-earth.

Move your seat back a bit so you can secretly talk, eat, drink, or cover your ears when you can’t stand the performance anymore... You don’t have to worry too much about the camera, which helps preserve your idol image to the greatest extent possible.

However, the big guys spent hundreds of thousands in donations, and the end result of singing badly and lip-syncing was that they did good deeds and helped people in need, so everyone should just show their appreciation; those traffic stars in later generations who cheated hundreds of thousands of ticket money but sang super badly, or even dared to broadcast recorded lip-syncing, are really rip-offs!

Just as Su Yun was lamenting the declining morals of the world, Zhang Querong suddenly stood up and waved, "Hey, Danny, over here! I've saved a seat for you!"

As he spoke, he pointed with particular force at the seat on the left of Su Yun - just now Sister Mei sat on the right of Su Yun, so Mei Yanshuang wanted to sit on the left of Su Yun, but he insisted on occupying the seat and refused to give up his seat. In the end, Mei Yanshuang had to secretly curse him for being ungentlemanly and walked over angrily to sit next to Sister Mei.

The Mei sisters initially guessed that Zhang Querong wanted to get closer to Su Yun: After the broadcast of "Song of Youth", many people bumped into the triangle of Su Yun, Chen Baiyang and Zhang Querong, both in the play and outside of the play.

But from now on, it seems that these three people are not a triangle, but... the best brothers help the protected animals to overcome Marie Sue's century-long challenge?
