On the table sits a small-leaf sandalwood base, upon which rests a fist-sized piece of jade. The gentle, warm yellow light from the table lamp shines upon it, as if it's coated with a layer of colorful glow.
Like a tall mountain, nestled among the bamboo grove is an adorable giant panda with a round head, a fox-like nose, and a smiling face with its eyes crinkling into crescents. Its big, round eyes sparkle brightly, and its two short little hands are tugging at a bamboo stalk.
"It's Hua Hua!" Xiao Qi pointed at the giant panda and said in a childish voice, "I like Hua Hua the most!"
Xiao Wu exclaimed in surprise, "It really looks like the top female celebrity panda Hua Hua! It's so lifelike! Grandpa is amazing! The carving is so realistic!"
A purple cloud appeared among the bamboo forest, revealing purple bamboo. Around the purple bamboo were pink rabbits. The rabbits' bodies were off-white, and their eyes were a deep pink, making their eyes look very expressive.
"Little bunnies, so many bunnies!" Xiaoqi counted them one by one: "Wow! There are seven little bunnies!"
Above the purple clouds, there was a lazy, large cat. The deep purple cat was mysterious and noble, like a god looking down on all living beings.
"What a cool purple cat!" Xiao Si exclaimed. "That domineering look it has over all living beings is like an emperor!"
Xiao Liu suddenly blurted out, "I think this big cat is Grandpa, and the seven little rabbits below are the seven of us."
Xiaoqi pointed to the smallest rabbit and grinned, "Then this little rabbit is Xiaoqi!"
Han Fei smiled without saying a word, giving Xiao Liu an appreciative look.
Beneath the purple bamboo was a field of golden rice ears, and beside the rice ears were a group of chicks. Some chicks stumbled and couldn't walk properly, some were pecking at the rice on the ground, and some were lying motionless on the ground, all of them lifelike.
"They're so cute! They're all fluffy!" Xiaoqi leaned closer to look and said in her childish voice, "They look so fluffy!"
"This is jade, how could it be fuzzy?" Xiao Wu didn't believe it and came closer to take a look. After looking at it, he exclaimed repeatedly, "Grandpa, you're amazing! It must have taken a lot of effort to carve out the texture of the hair. It's incredible!"
"Grandpa, is this really something that can be carved just by knowing how to carve wood?" Xiao Liu looked at Han Fei, his eyes full of curiosity and inquiry.
Xiao Si asked with a smile, "Grandpa, you didn't work as a jade carver before, did you?"
Xiao Wu asked suspiciously, "Grandpa, you can both break stones and carve, and you're so skilled at both. You don't seem like you've just started learning!"
Han Chengda looked at Han Fei probingly: "Grandpa, what did you do before?"
Han Fei smiled mysteriously: "A garbage collector."
"Tch!" Han Chengda, Xiao Si, Xiao Wu, and Xiao Liu, the four children, said in unison, with the same reaction: "I don't believe you for a second!"
Han Fei shrugged: "These days, nobody believes you when you tell the truth."
Little Seven's attention was completely drawn to the jade ornament. In her childish voice, she counted, "One chick, two chicks... there are seven chicks in total. The one with the roundest head must be Sixth Brother!"
Xiao Liu: "...It can't even walk steadily."
"He looks like my sixth brother!"
Xiao Liu looked at Han Fei suspiciously: "Grandpa, does he look like me?"
Han Fei smiled and said, "It's a coincidence."
...
Chen Meilan handed Xiaomei's father's resume to Han Fei: "According to the boss, he has been assigned to the sales department. His previous monthly salary was 20,000, but we couldn't afford that, so we offered him 10,000."
Han Fei nodded: "That's good. There will always be some difference, but his family can still maintain their original lifestyle."
In fact, Chen Meilan felt that 6K would be a reasonable amount of money for older employees with no experience, and they would be willing to do it.
But the boss believes that the older you are, the greater the pressure of life. Unlike young people who have parents to help them, older people not only have to support their parents but also their children, so 6K is definitely not enough.
“Xiao Chen, your thinking is wrong.” Han Fei shook his head: “You have gradually become capitalist. Think about the hardships you and Jianguo went through to open the steamed bun shop. You must stick to your original aspirations.”
Chen Meilan was taken aback, then chuckled and shook her head: "Boss, I'm just more professional now, isn't that a good thing?"
"It's not that it's bad, but I would prefer that your way of handling things be more humane."
"Even if we lose money, it doesn't matter, right?" Chen Meilan sighed. "Boss, the entertainment company has been operating at zero income, but we still pay salaries every month without fail, all of which are transferred from another account. This can't go on like this."
"It's alright. A tall building starts from the ground up, and you have to invest heavily first."
Han Fei flipped through the resumes in his hand, his gaze pausing on one particular resume.
A real estate salesperson resigned in anger after his company sold a haunted house and required salespeople to use deceptive sales tactics to mislead homebuyers. He then switched to financial sales.
Han Fei flipped the resume to the first page and his gaze fell on the name next to the photo: Xue Kai.
Xue Kai!!! Real estate agent!!! Selling a haunted house!!!
It matches perfectly, it matches perfectly!
Sure enough, there are certain patterns to encountering people in this world. Ordinary passersby are just passersby, but those with whom you have a deep relationship must have a reason and may very well be important characters in the book!
He is Xue Kai, so Xiao Mei is... a rich, beautiful, and successful female lead?
Han Fei rubbed his temples. Things had gone beyond his expectations. Was Xiao Wu about to suffer a tragedy?
"Boss, didn't you sleep well last night? Would you like some coffee?"
"Thank you, a cup of black coffee, dark roast."
"Okay, just a moment."
Chen Meilan went out to make coffee, and Han Fei took out a locked notebook from the drawer.
The fact that the key was hanging around his neck shows how important the notebook was.
Opening the notebook, one finds it filled with densely packed text, all about the book. Han Fei fears that if he stays in this world for too long, he will gradually forget the contents of the book, so he records any important information he can recall here.
He flipped through a few pages, his gaze landing on a page with a name written on it: Xue Kaimei, the vicious female supporting character, a rich and beautiful woman.
Han Fei made a phone call home, and Han Chengda answered: "Grandpa, is there anything you left at home? I'll bring it to you."
"No, I'm looking for Xiao Wu."
"Xiao Wu, the old man is looking for you!"
"Coming right away, I'm playing online games with Xiaomei."
Upon hearing this, Han Fei said, "There's no need for him to come over. Just ask him what Xiao Mei's full name is."
"The old man asked you, what is Xiaomei's full name?"
"Why are you asking this? Xiaomei's name is Xue Kaimei! Xiaomei doesn't like this name because her father's name is Xue Kai. Her father was very casual about naming her; he said that since she was Xue Kai's beautiful daughter, she was named Xue Kaimei!"
Hearing Xiao Wu's nagging and complaining voice on the other end of the phone, Han Fei was certain in his heart: Xiao Mei is the future Xue Kaimei!
The future rich, beautiful, and vicious female supporting character is engaged to the male lead in a business marriage. The male lead doesn't like her and secretly likes the innocent female lead, but in fact, Xue Kaimei is excellent in every way!
She is beautiful and has a great figure. She won many awards while studying abroad, which is quite an achievement, because the school she attended is equivalent to Harvard. To stand out among a group of international students from all over the world, you can imagine how hard she worked to do it.
When Han Fei watched this part of the story, he thought the male lead was probably out of his mind.
There is a passage in the book where the male protagonist says to his fiancée Xue Kaimei, whom he is about to marry: "Xue Kaimei, I know you are the most suitable for me. Marrying you is what I should do. I can agree to marry you, and I will break up with her completely. Please don't make things difficult for her anymore."
That evening, the male lead went to find the female lead, and it was the same old cliché scene of delivering an invitation.
Han Fei found this very problematic. You're getting married, and you send her an invitation? Are you afraid she won't be heartbroken enough, so you want to stab her in the back?
When the female lead saw the invitation, she broke down, knelt down and hugged the male lead's legs, and was so heartbroken that she went into shock.
Then the male lead takes the female lead to the hospital, where she undergoes various emergency treatments. Looking at the pale-faced female lead lying on the hospital bed, the male lead is filled with regret and conflicting emotions.
Ultimately, the male protagonist made his final choice after the female protagonist murmured his name in her sleep.
On his wedding day, he said to his bride, Xue Kaimei, "I know you are the most suitable person for me, but she can't live without me. That day I proposed breaking up, and she cried like a child and fainted. She can't live without me."
Then, at the wedding, he took the bride's hand and left? Left? ???
Han Fei was speechless. Even if they weren't going to get married, why did they have to wait until the wedding day, making the female supporting character lose face and be unable to face anyone?
Then the villainous female supporting character became a laughing stock in the wealthy family circle. Her father, Xue Kai, a doting father, did something insane: he kidnapped the female lead and wanted to burn her alive...
Han Fei rubbed his temples: This is outrageous! So much love for his daughter? Why pull this marriage alliance? It's utterly baffling! Did the character's intelligence automatically drop for the sake of the plot? Is this rich, beautiful woman without a man, forced to choose a man who doesn't love her and suffer?
"Knock knock!" There was a knock on the office door.
Han Fei locked the notebook and put it in the drawer: "Come in."
Chen Meilan brought in a cup of black coffee, followed by a little tail.
Han Fei was surprised to see this little bean here.
DouDou looked at Han Fei, her eyes sparkling. The little girl smiled, like a sweet apple: "Grandpa Xiao Wu, I'm Xiao Mei. Do you remember me?"
"Of course I remember. How did Xiaomei end up here?"
"Xiaomei came to thank you!"
"Thank me?"
Xiaomei took off her backpack and took out candied fruit, fruit candies, snowflake crisps, cookies...
A pile of transparent bottles and jars, filled with small snacks.
"Mom made this, and Xiaomei helped too! Grandpa Xiaowu, thank you for introducing my dad to a job, otherwise Xiaomei wouldn't have anything to eat and would have become a little beggar!"
In the book, Xue Kai is a real estate tycoon.
It appears that he couldn't find a job due to layoffs at the financial company, so he had to go back to his old ways, starting by selling haunted houses. He did many unethical things and eventually became a real estate tycoon.
Han Fei laughed and patted Xiao Mei's head: "There's no such cute little beggar as Xiao Mei. Your father wouldn't be willing to let you be a little beggar."
It seems that he embarked on a path of no return in order to make a living. He could only continue down the wrong path and there was no turning back.
"Xiaomei, do you like Grandpa?"
"I like it!"
"So, do you like Xiao Wu?"
The little girl suddenly became shy and said in a childish voice, "Xiao Wu said he would marry me when he grows up. When we play house, I always play Xiao Wu's wife!"
"Then would you like to grow up and marry Xiao Wu?"
"Yes, I would!"
Hey, if the male lead doesn't like you, then be my fifth son's child bride!
Girl, open your eyes wide and don't fall for the male lead again!
My granddaughter-in-law has been cultivating her vision since she was a child!
If Xiao Wu gets snatched away by a male protagonist who suddenly appears out of nowhere, Grandpa will beat you to death!
...
The young master returned to the Yu family and held a grand banquet. Media and internet celebrities were present, and the internet celebrities started a live broadcast.
"Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to come. Let me introduce you to this grandson."
Teacher Yu's face turned red. This kind of big scene was not suitable for him. He was very flustered and his hands were trembling.
Grandpa Yu patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be nervous, relax."
Teacher Yu nodded, but she was still incredibly nervous.
"Congratulations to Grandpa Yu on finding his lost young master!"
"Young Master Zhen is a handsome and talented man; he's clearly no ordinary person!"
"Hahaha, yes, even though my precious grandson has been living away from home, he has still grown into such an outstanding person. A golden carp is no ordinary fish; once it encounters wind and clouds, it will transform into a dragon!"
"Now that my beloved grandson has returned to the Yu family, I've changed his name to Yu Longze!"
"A mountain is not famous for its height, but for the immortals who dwell there. Water is not sacred for its depth, but for the dragons that inhabit it. My son Longze, even if he grew up deep in the mountains, is still outstanding. I'm not bragging, but in our circle now, whose grandson is as successful as mine!"
Teacher Yu tugged at Grandpa Yu's sleeve anxiously: Stop blowing! I'm panicking!
The audience immediately flattered, "A real dragon is a real dragon; how could those snakes, insects, rats, and ants possibly impersonate it!"
"Even if Young Master Yu falls on hard times, he is a true dragon, shining brightly, and his talent cannot be concealed!"
Han Fei couldn't bear to look at the flattering expressions of those around him.
"Grandpa, how should we give them our gifts?" Xiao Wu asked.
"Wait a minute, let's go to the back to give it to Lao Yu."
Seeing that Grandpa Yu and the "freshly baked" Yu Long had gone down to the back to rest, Han Fei took the seven children over.
"This is a small token of the children's affection for you," Han Fei said to Grandpa Yu.
"What is it? I'm really looking forward to it!"
The gifts from the seven children to Teacher Yu were all jade!
The moment the jade was displayed, Old Master Yu was stunned: "Old Han, you're being too generous! You even brought out imperial green! And this is... imperial purple? Am I seeing things?"
"They are indeed imperial green and imperial purple, but they were prepared by the children and have nothing to do with me."
"Where did the children get these valuable things? You must have given them to them, right?"
