Chapter 80: Good Morning, Sir (3)
After Li Sishi finished acting out the shocking scene of discovering she had "rejuvenated" in front of the mirror, the tea restaurant set could be reused.
Meanwhile, the cameo scenes featuring Shang Hanyou, Hou Beihua, and Huo Gucheng are also about to begin filming.
"Mr. Morning, Scene 5, Shot 1, Take 1." After the scriptwriters announced the scene, the camera focused on the tea restaurant booths at the next command of "A".
As a woman whose eyes were completely covered by a silk scarf walked in, Sun Xinru immediately nudged her cousin Ken, "She's here!"
The actor playing "Ah Ken" is Li Dewen, who previously collaborated with Sun Yuan on a period martial arts drama set in the late Qing Dynasty. The two had good chemistry and became quite familiar with each other as soon as filming began.
Ken adjusted his large black-rimmed glasses and looked seriously at Yi Sang, who was sitting opposite them: "What's the situation now?"
Upon hearing this, Yi Sang had no choice but to slowly remove the silk scarf from her face, revealing a youthful and tender face like that of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old beautiful girl.
Ignoring Sun Xinru's stunned expression, Ken immediately perked up: "Tell me everything you've done from yesterday to today, what medicine you took last night, what cosmetics you applied... write down everything you can remember!"
"You're interrogating a criminal!" Sun Xinru, having recovered her senses, shoved Ken, then marveled at Yi Sang's "rejuvenation," her expression even showing a hint of eagerness to try it herself.
Then Yi Sang and A-Ken quickly stopped her, unanimously agreeing that this change was too strange and not necessarily stable, so they needed to find Professor Hua, who was in charge of developing the "Rejuvenating" series, to continue to investigate the truth.
Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the outer door of Professor Hua's laboratory, before Ken could even take out his key to open the door, the door had already been opened from the inside.
Immediately afterwards, Professor Hua, lying on the ambulance bed with a bruised and swollen face, was being dragged away, and President Zhang, looking furious, appeared before everyone.
After a rather chaotic conversation, Yi Sangren finally understood the reason for this scene: it turned out that the core of the "Rejuvenating" series of products was the self-repair of human cells.
This company is owned by the Zhang family, and President Zhang's younger brother, Chengzai, was involved in a car accident when he was eight years old while traveling with his parents.
In the car accident, the parents of the two Zhang brothers died on the spot, and young Chengzai was left in a vegetative state with no consciousness.
Fortunately, President Zhang had come of age by this time. After struggling to take over and gradually control the company left by his parents, President Zhang, as the eldest brother, made up his mind to awaken his only relative. He approved Professor Hua's research and development plan and invested a large sum of money.
However, after a full decade, the development progress of this plan was not ideal. Nevertheless, this level of "self-repair of human cells" was successfully applied to the cosmetic formulas produced by the company, which enabled Zhang's to gradually defeat most of its former competitors and become the leading enterprise in the port city's cosmetics industry.
According to what Ken knew, there had been a breakthrough in the project of "human cell self-repair" recently, so he assisted Professor Hua in producing a rejuvenating pill health product with a faster and more obvious effect than cosmetics - the same batch of health product pills that Li Sishi tried.
Meanwhile, another batch of more potent medicinal concentrate was personally brought by Professor Hua to the intensive care unit where Chengzi was located, to be injected into Chengzi, who had just turned eighteen.
"I painstakingly raised Chengzai for ten whole years to grow him to this size, but this guy turned my Chengzai back to eight years old in less than ten minutes!"
When President Zhang recounted this cruel ending, his expression was so grief-stricken that every frame could be a vivid and versatile meme…
"Tell me, how many decades does one have in a lifetime? How much longer can I take care of Chengzai?! I finally managed to raise my comatose brother to adulthood, but in the blink of an eye, ten years of hard work have vanished, and my brother has instantly reverted to his factory settings. Even someone as mentally strong as President Zhang couldn't hold back anymore."
So, after returning to the lab, President Zhang, filled with grief and indignation, became increasingly angry and chased after Professor Hua, giving him a good beating.
Professor Hua, being a researcher, was no match for President Zhang, who managed to protect the family business from a host of ruthless relatives. Furthermore, since the situation that no one wanted to see was indeed his responsibility, Professor Hua obediently endured several blows from President Zhang.
Although President Zhang was still angry after hitting him a few times, he calmed down. So after a while, he decided to suspend Professor Hua's research and instead start investing the research and development funds in other projects.
Well, Professor Hua, who had been meekly taking the beating, suddenly became agitated upon hearing that his research was to be suspended. He grabbed President Zhang and wouldn't let him leave. In the struggle, Professor Hua accidentally hit his head on the corner of the table and rolled down the stairs, which led to the scene that Yi Sangren witnessed.
Following President Zhang to the hospital, after the examination, the doctor informed them that Professor Hua was now a fellow patient with Chengzi.
A person in a vegetative state lies in a hospital room, waiting for either a miracle to happen or for the two of them to pass away side by side...
Upon hearing this result, President Zhang and Yi Sangren were immediately displeased.
"Now we can only rely on the two of you!" After another heart-to-heart talk in the ward, President Zhang looked intently at Yi Sang and A-Ken.
Because during the conversation
President Zhang and Yi Sang then discovered that the two were actually family friends who had played together as children and had a deep bond like siblings.
Later, Yi Sang went abroad with her parents, while President Zhang's family suffered a major misfortune, and the two childhood friends gradually lost contact.
Upon discovering that his former family friend had fallen to such a state, President Zhang, who naturally loved to protect the weak, felt even more sorry for her and immediately declared that he would teach Yi Sang's scumbag husband a lesson...
Finally, Yi Sang stopped President Zhang from jumping up and down and said that the person who handled the letter was still unknown, so she planned to use this appearance to infiltrate her husband Li Tiansheng's school to find out the truth.
“Besides, I couldn’t go to university for some reason back then. If I can continue like this in the future, and my husband, Bu Litian, really changes his mind…” Yi Sang forced a smile, “then I want to take this opportunity to live for myself again.”
Knowing that Yi Sang probably still had hope for her husband who had shared joys and sorrows with her for many years, President Zhang had no choice but to give up his original idea of letting her stay in the hospital for observation and treatment. He then solemnly handed over the important task of observing and taking care of Yi Sang to Professor Hua's only assistant, Ken.
Meanwhile, Sun Xinru, who was teaching at an ordinary middle school, also temporarily accepted a job: under President Zhang's arrangement, Sun Xinru would be transferred from the ordinary middle school where she was teaching to Band 3 Middle School where Li Tiansheng was located. After Yi Sang's matter was resolved, President Zhang would arrange for her to be transferred to one of the prestigious middle schools in Hong Kong.
Sun Xinru readily agreed to this job, which allowed her to take care of her friend, earn a high salary, and have a promising future.
Ken will also try to find an opportunity to teach at the school, observe and take care of all the changes in Yi Sang, and see if he can find a way to resolve this accident.
After finalizing the plan, Yi Sang immediately wrote a letter to Li Tiansheng. In the letter, she explained that she had found the love letter in the pocket of his suit jacket, expressed her disappointment in him, and said that she was going to Canada, where her parents lived, to calm down. She asked him not to come looking for her in case she lost control of her emotions...
Although the letter did not contain anything
The words "intending to divorce" are mentioned, but it's quite clear that the relationship between the two has changed.
I wonder what Li Tiansheng's feelings will be when he receives this letter, but as Yi Sang writes, she sometimes thinks that maybe there is no seven-year itch at all, and that the two of them were a mistake from the very beginning.
The fact that we've reached this point is simply a preemptive severing of the wrong emotional ties before the mistake becomes completely irreversible.
If that's the case, perhaps we can still be friends when we meet again.
Solve the problem of "Yisang"
After Yi Sang's disappearance, with the help of her family friend, President Zhang, she changed her identity to "Yi Shuangshuang," pretending to be the adopted sister of her parents after their daughter eloped for love.
"Yi Shuangshuang's transfer from abroad back to Li Tiansheng's Band 3 secondary school was also to find out the truth for her sister, and if the truth is true, to avenge her sister and inform her sister to divorce her scumbag brother-in-law."
Wearing the school uniform dress of Band 3 Middle School, which is rumored to be full of bad students, Yi Sang looked up at the school gate with her schoolbag on her back. Soon she would see Li Tiansheng and Sun Xinru, who were on duty at the gate today to check the students' appearance.
Before "Yi Sang" became "Yi Shuangshuang", Sun Xinru had already been transferred to become one of the English teachers at this school. So although Li Tiansheng was a little surprised when he met Sun Xinru, he accepted her arrival after Sun Xinru's simple explanation.
Being ostracized at the middle school where one originally taught, and ultimately having to find work at a lower-level school, is a very common occurrence in this society.
On the contrary, the letter that Sun Xinru brought him relieved Li Tiansheng's worries about his missing wife, and also made him stand up angrily: "I have never done anything to betray my wife!"
"Whether it's true or not isn't something you can just say with your mouth. I came here to work partly to help Sangsang investigate you." Sun Xinru's face turned cold. "I told you I was ostracized and that's why I could only teach at this kind of school. You're a promising, top-notch actuary, why would you end up as a math teacher at a school like this?"
"I..." Li Tiansheng was speechless for a moment.
This behavior made Sun Xinru even more suspicious that he had something to hide: Right, the two of them had a long-term relationship that started from school uniforms to wedding dresses. Could it be that Li Tiansheng thought Yi Sang was "too old" and wanted to come to the middle school to find some fresher new dishes?
Especially the letter, with its crooked handwriting and typos, looked exactly like the handwriting of a female student of that age!
Li Tiansheng hasn't changed much over the years. Unlike Yi Sang, who has become haggard after suffering an accident and whose health has deteriorated a lot, he is still as handsome and fair-skinned as when he was in school—he looks like he could attract some naive and ignorant girls!
This is outrageous!
Yi Sang was so busy with this poor boy, Li Tiansheng, that she couldn't even go home, but in the end, this guy started to look down on Yi Sang!
These past few days, Sun Xinru has been thinking about how to deal with Li Tiansheng, this fickle and unfaithful scumbag. She even gave him a cold shoulder when she was on duty, which made Li Tiansheng, who wanted to find out about Yi Sang through Sun Xinru, very helpless.
Until a clear, crisp voice made Li Tiansheng, who was immersed in distress, subconsciously look up at the girl walking in his direction—and then, he inevitably had a dazed expression.
They look so alike...
The young woman, who looked almost exactly like his wife in her youth, slowly walked up to the two men on guard duty and greeted them like a well-behaved schoolgirl: "Good morning, Miss... Good morning, sir."
