"By the way, didn't that kid just say he had a bold idea?"
After Lin Chao ran out, Wang Qian realized that Lin Chao had been interrupted by other topics before he could finish speaking.
"I don't know either!"
Zhou Yuanyuan shook her head. "He always comes up with all sorts of ingenious ideas, but he hadn't even mentioned them yet when you all arrived, so..."
"Okay, I'll ask him again when he gets back."
Despite saying that, Wang Qian didn't really take it to heart.
Just as Zhou Yuanyuan said, all sorts of whimsical ideas often pop into Lin Chao's mind.
However, most of his ideas were somewhat unrealistic, something he had long since become accustomed to.
"Since there's nothing else, we'll be going now!"
At this moment, Wu Yanping, who had been silent until now, said, "We've been in Linjiang City for so long, and there are still many things piled up there waiting for us to resolve."
"Alright!"
Wang Qian gave him a grateful look. "Thank you so much for going to Linjiang City this time!"
"You help me, and I'll help you too, so why are you being so polite with me?"
Wu Yanping said with a hint of resentment, "If you hadn't insisted on introducing Yiyi to me, I wouldn't have found such a good manager. If you hadn't written songs for me, I wouldn't be this famous. If anyone should be saying thank you, it should be me saying it to you!"
Only Zhong Yiyi suddenly raised her middle finger at Wang Qian, saying, "What a hypocrite!"
"Am I hypocritical?"
Wang Qian looked utterly bewildered. "What makes you say that?"
"Who are you to us? Why are you being so polite? Isn't it cheesy?" Zhong Yiyi rolled her eyes.
"Okay, it's my fault, I'll definitely correct it next time!" Wang Qian said, both amused and exasperated.
Zhong Yiyi always gives people a rebellious feeling, but when it comes to being a manager, she is truly unmatched.
So even though she never wore women's suits, Wu Yanping never forced Zhong Yiyi to wear them, nor did she criticize Zhong Yiyi's clothing or behavior.
"Let's go. What's the point of talking to someone like that?"
Seeing that Wu Yanping was still a little reluctant to leave, Zhong Yiyi grabbed her and left.
Unable to refuse, Wu Yanping said goodbye to Gao Churou, Huang Bo, and Qiu Minxia, and left first.
"Wang Qian, this is Xia Jie's first time in Linjiang City. I'll show her around. You can finish what you're doing first and then come find us."
After Wu Yanping and Zhong Yiyi left, Gao Churou held Qiu Minxia's hand and said something.
"Well... okay!"
Wang Qian gave Qiu Minxia an apologetic look. "I've been in Linjiang City for so many days, and I really have a lot of things to do. Sister Xia, you and Sister Rou should familiarize yourselves with the surroundings first. I'll come find you after I finish what I'm doing."
Soon, Gao Churou and Qiu Minxia also left.
"They're all gone, so what about me?"
Huang Bo looked over, shrugged, and said, "You begged me to come to Nanming County, so my food, drink, and daily needs are all up to you, Boss Wang!"
This time, Wang Qian didn't joke around with Huang Bo. Instead, he smiled mysteriously and said, "I'll take you somewhere."
...
Xieyang Village.
Lin Xiaoyu carried her son Wang Niangui on her back in a padded jacket, and held a wooden bucket in her hand as she watered a vegetable garden not far from her home.
Her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and her expression turned somber.
As if preoccupied with something, she remained absent-minded while watering the vegetable garden.
"Will all men change their hearts once they have money?"
As the thought crossed her mind, she suddenly gave a self-deprecating laugh.
Then, she carried the wooden bucket forward.
Before you know it, your foot slips and you're about to fall backward to the ground.
But she reacted quickly. Knowing that her son, Wang Niangui, was still on her back, she immediately threw the bucket into her hand, used the momentum to flip over, and tried to land on her body first.
【Bang】
She fell heavily to the ground, covered in mud and looking utterly disheveled.
"Wow!"
The sound of Wang Niangui crying came from behind.
Lin Xiaoyu, disregarding where she had fallen, hurriedly stood up, untied the back straps of her dress, and put Wang Niangui down.
Upon closer inspection, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, I didn't fall or get crushed.
In fact, just as she fell, she managed to turn over in time to prevent her son, Wang Niangui, from being crushed.
He could feel it just now, but he still needed to check it out to be sure.
But then her expression twisted, filled with pain.
She twisted her ankle.
Instead of yelling, she first hugged Wang Niangui, gently patting his back and softly comforting him, "Don't cry, son, Mommy's here."
Just then, two young men walked over from not far away.
Both men were quite tall and upright; one had delicate and handsome features, while the other had a sharp and angular profile.
These two people are Wang Qian and Huang Bo.
"Hey? There's a woman who fell down over there, and it looks like she's holding a baby in her arms."
Huang Bo suddenly pointed to a spot not far away and exclaimed, "Wang Qian, she should be from your village, right? Should we go and take a look?"
Wang Qian's expression changed drastically as he subconsciously looked in the direction Huang Bo was pointing.
"Xiaoyu!"
He exclaimed in surprise and rushed over in a few strides.
"Xiaoyu?"
Huang Bo was taken aback at first, then belatedly realized, "Could this woman be his wife?"
As he spoke, he hurriedly followed.
"Xiaoyu, are you alright?"
Wang Qian rushed over, glanced at Lin Xiaoyu's condition, and asked with concern, "Did you fall anywhere? Is Niangui alright?"
"Qian, you're back?"
Lin Xiaoyu forced a smile despite the excruciating pain, but the smile was strained. "Niangui is fine, but I twisted my ankle and my clothes are dirty."
