"A new month brings new prospects, and our stage at "Dreaming Twenty-first Century" has also welcomed two new mentors. Let’s use a warm round of applause to welcome the well-known entrepreneur from Southwest Entertainment, Shen Ruchu, Miss Shen."
"And the young and promising president from Zhou Real Estate, Zhou Chengyan, Mr. Zhou."
"Warm welcome to the two of you who have traveled a long way."
Once the host finished speaking, the stage spotlight hit the mentor seating area. From left to right sat Shen Ruchu, Zhou Chengyan, Zhou Guorui, and Yu Ting.
At this moment, Shen Ruchu and Zhou Chengyan were sitting next to each other, the spotlight precisely shining on Shen Ruchu and Zhou Chengyan who got up and warmly greeted the audience, behaving very professionally.
The appearance of the very handsome young diamond bachelor Zhou Chengyan really excited the female audience members.
How handsome.
After greeting the audience, the two sat back down.
Then the show officially began.
The process was the same as the previous episodes, first the dream chaser came on stage to give a brief introduction and then a short film was played, followed by the mentors’ reviews, and finally the voting.
The first three dream chasers all had tragic stories that brought tears to the audience’s eyes. However, they couldn’t win the tears of the capitalists. Zhou Chengyan and Shen Ruchu were sitting unmoved, calm and composed.
The fourth dream chaser on the stage was a faltering white-haired old man, his face was sagging and wrinkled. He introduced himself and mentioned he wanted to find his long-lost wife and children.
He was a retired veteran. During the turbulent years, he joined the war and fought on the front line. His wife escaped with their young children, and after he returned home over a decade later, he lost contact with his wife and children. He has been looking for them for almost 30 years, hoping to find them in his remaining few days.
The old man had suffered heavy gunshot wounds to his legs from the war, his body was overworked from his youth, and he could no longer straighten his back. Even his wrinkled eyes drooped, with teardrops shimmering in the small corners.
Zhou Chengyan and Shen Ruchu did not make a statement. When it was Zhou Guorui’s turn, he donated 200,000 RMB to the old man, hoping he could enjoy a few comfortable days in the future, or use the money to ask newspapers to intensify their search.
Perhaps it was too reminiscent, Zhou Guorui’s face showed distress, sighing from time to time, thinking about the past.
Was he any better than him? His wife and incompetent son had passed away early, he had tasted the bitterness of parting for decades...
Zhou Chengyan, who was sitting next to him, kept his posture unchanged, looking at his own grandfather being dispirited.
His eyes widened and narrowed from time to time, he whispered.
"It’s okay, you’re a little better than him, you still have a grandson."
Zhou Guorui, lost in his memories, looked back at Zhou Chengyan when he heard this sentence. His expression unconsciously softened a bit.
The grandfather and grandson continued their conversations while Yu Ting decided to sponsor 200,000 RMB.
Basically, everyone except Zhou Chengyan had pledged money, with the minimum amount being 200,000 RMB.
No hard feelings.
Just paying to do some charity.
Silent Shen Ruchu, sitting next to them, spoke in a voice so low only the three of them could hear after Yu Ting had made her statement.
"How could he possibly find them? It has been thirty years. If he could find them, he would have done so long ago. 200,000 RMB is just a retirement pension."
