The local TV station is definitely the most popular channel for people in Changxi City at night, especially recently, as the local TV station is currently airing a Hong Kong drama series. It starts at 6 pm every night and continues until after 8 pm, with three episodes in a row and no commercials in between!
Countless people in the entire city of Changxi are watching this TV series.
In addition, people also enjoy watching local TV news, since much of the news is local and the interviewees often speak in dialects, which makes older viewers feel particularly connected to the stories.
Speaking of which, sometimes when local TV stations come to interview people, locals will try every means to squeeze through the crowd just to get a picture on camera and appear on TV.
Once, a TV station came to Anshan Town to film a steamed bun shop. Shi Dalin made a special trip to squeeze in. When he saw himself in the crowd while watching TV that night, he was overjoyed. Unfortunately, the image flashed by so quickly that he didn't have a camera or anything to save the picture.
Today, after dinner, Shi Dalin and Zhao Meiyun stayed in the small shop, turned on the TV, and watched the local channel.
This TV station is completely silent during the day; it only broadcasts at night.
Shi Ting recently went to study in Changxi City, and only has a day and a half off on weekends, so she often doesn't come. Zhao Qiujuan is also in Changxi City. As for Shi Zhen... Shi Zhen will come to see them from time to time, but most of the time, he is too busy to be seen.
Shi Dalin and Zhao Meiyun had nothing to do at home, so they would usually stay at the shop until around 8 p.m., then go home, wash up, and go to sleep.
At first, with all the children away, the two of them felt a little out of place, but as time went on...
They suddenly realized that these two people living together... were actually quite comfortable!
Putting everything else aside, let's just talk about cooking. In the past, when there were more people, we always had to cook several dishes. Now that there are fewer people, we just stir-fry a few things together, like sliced meat, eggs, and vegetables, and that's enough for the two of them.
They are not particularly picky people.
The local TV news program is only half an hour long because there is little local news available. Sometimes it simply introduces some local things.
For example, there's a steamed bun shop in Anshan Town that makes really delicious steamed buns.
In addition, news reports will also mention which stores have promotions or events.
Just a few days ago, because it was New Year's Day, the TV station was showing various places in the area celebrating the New Year and welcoming the new year. They even filmed the park in Anshan Town, which was decorated with many pretty little red umbrellas.
Zhao Meiyun wasn't interested in these news reports.
But it's only 5:30 now, and at this time, none of the TV stations are showing any dramas, so she watches the news while waiting for the drama she's been longing for.
While waiting, Zhao Meiyun knitted a sweater.
She didn't know how to knit before, but recently she started learning to knit children's sweaters from the locals.
Although she hasn't finished knitting a single piece yet, she's already starting to imagine Zhao Qiujuan's child wearing these little sweaters.
Zhao Qiujuan recently started dating someone, and she already knows about it.
“Tingting isn’t coming back again. Honestly, doesn’t she miss home?” Zhao Meiyun said to Shi Dalin.
"She'll be back next week," Shi Dalin said. Shi Ting wasn't always absent; she would come back once a week.
The main problem is that coming back is troublesome.
To get back, she has to take a bus to Changxi City Bus Station after school, wait for another bus there, take it to Anshan Town, and then walk for half an hour to get home.
This whole trip takes at least two hours.
Sometimes buses are crowded and take three hours to arrive.
School ends at noon on Saturday, and by the time I get home it's already evening. Then I have to leave again the next day at noon... It's really tiring.
It's different for her when she lives in Shizhen. After school on Saturdays, she can take a bus home, grab something to eat from the fridge, lie down and watch TV, and even make plans with her classmates to hang out in Anshan Town.
Even better, on Sundays she could wait until after dinner before having Zhao Qiujuan or Shi Zhen take her to school.
"Today, our TV station received a hotline call from a member of the public saying that a construction site in Anshan Town had quality issues, which attracted the police..."
Are there quality issues at any construction sites?
Shi Dalin and Zhao Meiyun immediately looked over.
At the same time, at Shi Dashan's home.
Recently, due to the cold weather, Shi Dashan and his wife have stopped going out to sell fried skewers at night, and even Shi Xingchao has stopped collecting and distributing sweaters at night.
Of course, Shi Xingchao did this mainly because... Fang Miyan was about to give birth.
Previously, Shi Xingxing felt that her brother was going too far, making Fang Miyan do this and that even though she was pregnant... but that's really not true.
No matter how stingy Shi Xingchao is, he still loves his own children. In fact, he is usually more generous to those around him than to himself.
However, even though he has been "generous," he is still quite stingy, so people can't tell.
Now that Fang Miyan is heavily pregnant, Shi Xingchao has her help him with chores every day, and then he rides his tricycle back and forth with her.
He didn't make Fang Miyan do even the slightest bit of heavy work!
Shi Xingchao and Fang Miyan haven't bought a television yet.
Actually, when they built the house, they didn't use up all their savings. After so long, they've saved up quite a bit of money, but they just can't bear to spend it and want to save it.
So after dinner, they would come to Shi Dashan's place to watch TV, and then go back to sleep.
When the TV program mentioned that there were quality problems with a construction site, the entire Shi family watched it.
As soon as the construction site appeared, Shi Xingchao was shocked: "Isn't that Shi Zhen's construction site?"
That was indeed Shi Zhen's construction site, and there were quality problems. Someone even called the police, and someone contacted the TV station!
What should we do?!
The Shi family was very worried.
On the other side, Shi Dalin and Zhao Meiyun were also getting anxious.
But just as they finished worrying, they saw people at the scene say that it was Shi Zhen who called the police.
What's going on with Shi Zhen? There were quality problems at his construction site, and he even called the police?
Doesn't this make everyone know?
When Shi Zhen said he was going to smash the wall, they were even more confused.
Actually, the steel bars were a little thin, so it wasn't very noticeable. Besides, not the entire factory building was made of steel bars; only a few pillars were.
Now, Shi Zhen and his men are not only smashing the pillars, but also knocking down the walls.
According to Shi Zhen, any substandard construction site must be redone!
Shi Dalin and Shi Dashan felt heartbroken seeing this, after all, it was all money!
But while I felt sorry for him, I also felt a little proud.
That's just how meticulous they are! They don't tolerate even the slightest quality issue!
"This child is so stubborn," Shi Dalin said to Zhao Meiyun, moved.
Tears welled up in Zhao Meiyun's eyes, partly from heartache, and partly from other reasons: "Yes..."
Every blow Shi Dalin and his men pounded on the wall struck their hearts, causing them pain.
But it was different for other people in Changxi City who were watching TV.
When they first heard that there were quality problems at a construction site, they were all very angry and indignant, and they wanted the person in charge of that construction site to be punished.
It turned out that it was the person in charge who called the police?
That person not only called the police, but also planned to tear down all the substandard parts?
The news story looked ordinary, but for some reason, everyone felt excited while reading it.
They all remembered the name of one company – Whitestone Construction.
In Changxi City, people in many places are talking about Baishi Construction: "This company looks pretty good."
"That young man looks reliable."
"If the quality is bad, just smash it. That's great."
"This name sounds familiar..."
...
As everyone was talking, the news showed footage of Whitestone Construction's office building.
The host then introduced the company, saying, "Baishi Construction is a company in our city specializing in engineering construction. Previously, Baishi Construction's headquarters was quite impressive because it used many new materials..."
At this point, the camera also captured the glass bridge in front of White Stone Construction.
Many people in Changxi City have come to walk across that glass bridge.
"Oh right, I remember now, that's the headquarters of Shiraishi Construction!"
"No wonder this company sounded familiar!"
"So this is the company!"
"I'm going to walk across that glass bridge!"
"This company is really great!"
...
Those who had been to Shi Zhen's office building all said this.
People who hadn't been there before became interested after seeing the footage on TV: "That's a glass bridge, and people can walk on the glass?"
"It looks really good."
"I'd like to go see it too."
...
That night, countless people in Changxi City learned about Baishi Construction. Their impression of Baishi Construction was that the company paid great attention to the quality of its projects.
Therefore, the houses they build must be of good quality.
Of course, a small number of people had a different focus: "The boss of Whitestone Construction looks really young... Is he married?"
"He's so handsome!"
“That employee at his company looks very handsome.”
...
Even Guan Baiyu's former classmates recognized him: "That's Guan Baiyu and his brother."
"Didn't Guan Baiyu go to university? How did he become an employee of Baishi Construction?"
"That's his brother's company; he made a brief appearance on camera, didn't he?"
"Besides, it's the weekend!"
...
As the conversation went on, some people who had previously been brainwashed by the idea that "Guan Baiyu is very poor" were dumbfounded: "Didn't they say Guan Baiyu is very poor? His family owns a company, how could he be poor?"
So they once went to school with a rich kid, but unfortunately they missed the opportunity to make his acquaintance!
By the way, the news also mentioned that the new glass factory of Liang's father was built by Baishi Construction, so Guan Baiyu and Liang Qinxuan are just rich kids hanging out together!
They were scammed back then!
At that time, university admissions were very limited, and even many students from the city's No. 1 High School did not get into university.
This university still includes junior colleges.
Sun Qiqi and Qiu Yunxin both got into university, but Li Dongchen didn't... Coincidentally, many of the rumors about Guan Baiyu were spread by him.
Now it seems that it was all fabricated by him...
That's what Qiu Yunxin's parents thought.
Li Dongchen had already told Qiu Yunxin's parents about her feelings for Guan Baiyu.
At that time, he also told Qiu Yunxin's parents everything he had said to Sun Qiqi's grandmother, Fei Ping.
Of course, he also told Qiu Yunxin's parents not to tell Qiu Yunxin about his complaint.
Qiu Yunxin's parents did not tell her about this, as they were afraid it would affect her studies.
But they definitely didn't want Qiu Yunxin to be with the poor guy Li Dongchen mentioned. In comparison, Li Dongchen was someone they knew well.
Most importantly, their daughter doesn't like Li Dongchen.
In that case, it's safer for Li Dongchen to be with their daughter than for their daughter to be thinking about Guan Baiyu.
However, Guan Baiyu did so well on the exam later, and now... they realized that Li Dongchen was lying.
They don't regret what they did back then; if their daughter had started dating early, she probably wouldn't have been able to get into university.
However, it's best to stay away from Li Dongchen!
While the news was playing on TV, Shi Zhen and Guan Baiyu had just finished their work and were treating someone to dinner.
This morning, they called the police, invited TV station staff to interview them, and after finally finishing up, they treated these people to a meal.
This afternoon, they were busy with company matters and also went to the TV station.
Now that it's evening, they've invited some important figures from Changxi City to dinner.
During the meal, many people praised Shi Zhen.
They also knew that Shi Zhen was putting on a show in this incident.
But the story about him smashing the wall is true.
Moreover, after he did this, he could no longer cut corners in his future projects; otherwise, if he were discovered, he would definitely face consequences.
Promoting yourself in this way has both advantages and disadvantages.
However, young people are energetic and are indeed focused on improving quality... so everyone is quite satisfied with him.
Shi Zhen has a low alcohol tolerance. In his past life, he was too proud to let people know about it, so he secretly practiced drinking. In this life, he doesn't care anymore and will openly say so when someone offers him a toast.
Guan Baiyu added, "You guys don't know, my brother looks tall and big, but he's actually a lightweight when it comes to beer! He doesn't even dare to eat too much sweet rice wine, for fear of getting drunk!"
Everyone laughed heartily, and some even suggested that Shi Zhen practice, but no one urged him to drink anymore.
The meal was enjoyed by both the host and guests.
Moreover, the next day, when Shi Zhen and Guan Baiyu went to the company, they found that there were many more people who had come to visit the company.
Many people contacted them, wanting Shi Zhen to build factories or other things for them.
It made the news yesterday, and the benefits it brings are obvious.
Shi Zhen was in a good mood.
Guan Baiyu thought the same way, but he was thinking more deeply: "Brother, why don't you find a few people to do advertising specifically for Baishi?"
Shi Zhen was slightly taken aback, then said, "Indeed, we should start making preparations."
Advertising is indeed very important. In his later years, if a real estate company was perceived by locals as having reliable housing quality, then their houses would definitely sell better than others.
They can even sell it for a higher price than others.
He mainly does engineering work for people now, but in the future... he will definitely be developing real estate projects.
He wanted to ensure that Guan Baiyu could buy whatever he wanted, and that he would never lack money!
From now on, Whitestone Construction should have a good reputation.
Shi Zhen and Guan Baiyu discussed it.
He discovered that although Guan Baiyu was not like him and knew about things more than twenty years into the future, his ideas were very advanced, but sometimes... they were a bit unconventional.
But it's nothing.
Shi Zhen and Guan Baiyu spent the whole day together, and it wasn't until evening that Shi Zhen drove Guan Baiyu to the provincial capital. He planned to stay there for the night.
Guan Baiyu returned to Changxi City this weekend, and he told Mu Tian and Jiang Xingsheng about it.
He returned to Changxi City on Friday night and called Mu Tian on Saturday morning.
Mu Tian immediately expressed his desire to come to Changxi City, saying that he wanted to meet his adoptive parents.
His adoptive parents were not worth seeing, and they were very busy this weekend and had no time to receive Mu Tian and the others. Guan Baiyu said that he had something to do and asked Mu Tian and the others not to come.
After finishing her call, Mu Tian chatted with Jiang Xingsheng and concluded that Guan Baiyu's behavior was likely because he wanted to inform his adoptive parents first and then introduce them to them later.
Both of them were looking forward to it and were waiting for Guan Baiyu to return.
As a result, when they went to Guan Baiyu's print shop on Sunday afternoon, they learned that Guan Baiyu had not returned yet. After calling Guan Baiyu, they found out that he would not be back until the evening.
I see...
Mu Tian and Jiang Xingsheng had just reunited with Guan Baiyu and wished he could be in their sight every day. After dinner, they came to the print shop again.
Guan Baiyu has not returned yet.
The two went to see a movie. When they came out of the theater and were walking back, they saw Guan Baiyu and Shi Zhen enter the print shop from a distance. As soon as they went in, they immediately closed the door.
It was a bit far away, and Mu Tian didn't have a chance to say hello. She hesitated for a moment, wondering whether she should knock on the door.
“It’s almost ten o’clock, they’re probably going to sleep soon… Let’s come back to see him tomorrow,” Jiang Xingsheng said.
Guan Baiyu's brother went inside with Guan Baiyu; he'll probably stay here tonight.
If they go over there, these two will definitely have to greet them, so they won't go over and let these two go to sleep early.
