Chapter 161 sets the stage for Sang Sang's storyline.
Before Xu Cang could change his expression, Xu Chi smiled and said, "Just kidding, big brother."
"Just leave those scrap steel there; we might need to bring them back someday."
Xu Cang: ...
Xu Cang took a deep breath and chose to change the subject, "Do you know what Xu Bai is doing right now?"
Did he tell you when he'd be back?
Xu Chi: "No, but..."
He smiled slightly: "The marriage alliance with the Cheng family should not need to be canceled for the time being."
Xu Cang: ?
Xu Chi tapped the table with his fingertip. "It might work."
"It just takes a little longer to complete..."
He murmured, "Starting with 1,800 chapters. You should discuss it with Dad and change the date."
Xu Cang: ? ? ?
There's something definitely off about one or two people in this family!
Xu Cang couldn't continue the conversation and hung up the video call with a sullen face.
Then he dialed Xu Bai's number again.
The line is busy.
Xu Cang: ...
...
At this moment, Xu Bai was chatting with Tu Yao.
"Hey sis, why is it so noisy over there?"
"I think I heard Teacher Tu swearing?"
Tu Yao lay on the bed and looked up at the living room.
Her brother looked fierce and cursed, while her second brother listened without moving, and her youngest brother listened with a video call on.
Tu Yao couldn't help but scratch her head: "You heard me right, my brother said he was going to scold me, but he was afraid I would understand, so he didn't let me hear it and let my second brother and younger brother hear it instead."
Xu Bai looked on incredulously: "It can be like this?"
"Next time, let my dad do the same thing, scold me, but let my uncle hear it?"
Xu Bai shuddered: "Ahem, I'm getting off topic, big sister. I'm just here to let you know that our mushroom house is half-built. I planted a batch of button mushrooms a couple of days ago, and they've just started to sprout mycelium. It seems like I'll be able to grow them successfully this time."
"Your and your brother's transportation company came at the perfect time! If we calculate it this way, all we're lacking is sales channels!"
"Big sister, I'm handling the supplies in the rear, and you're clearing the way in front. Your teamwork couldn't be better..."
Before he could finish speaking, the phone was snatched away. "You damn Xu Bai! You've been talking for so long and haven't gotten to the point yet. Get out of my way and let me do it!"
Cheng Sangsang: "Tu Xiaomao! What are you doing? I'm looking for Teacher Tu, but he's not answering me!"
"I've finished writing my script! Quickly, have him retweet this on Weibo!"
"And he didn't forget to write a song for me, did he?"
Tu Yao's eyes lit up immediately!
I immediately checked Weibo, and sure enough, Cheng Sangsang's suffix had been changed to: Cheng Sangsang [Final Draft, Ready to Take Off!]
"I'm going to find him right now!"
In the living room, Tu Chaoxi was so angry that she felt dizzy.
"How could you two let him slip in right under your noses?!"
He's busy and doesn't have time to look after Tu Xiaomao, but how come he didn't notice them even though they're right next to each other every day?!
Tu Yao cautiously poked her head out, her voice trembling, "Brother... are you done yelling?"
"After you've finished cursing, please retweet Sangsang's Weibo post."
Tu Chaoxi turned his head and saw his sister staring at him with a stupid look on her face.
Tu Chaoxi: ...
Thank God, thank our ancestors!
Fortunately, Tu Xiaomao is smart in every way, but he's a complete idiot who just can't get it in this one area.
Tu Chaoxi suddenly felt calm.
"What Weibo? Let me see."
Tu Yao quickly handed him her phone, pulled Nan Ke back to a safe area, and turned off Lin Yue's video.
Tu Chaoxi flipped through the screen: "Oh, she finished writing the script and is about to start filming, right?"
"Hurry up and help her forward this. Also, don't forget your new contract; you have to write songs for Sangsang's drama."
Tu Yao opened the group chat created by Teacher Ma, and sure enough, the chat was in full swing.
While flipping through the document, she relayed: "...She said there are format requirements for forwarding, so don't send it incorrectly."
"She'll be coming to Yanjing in a couple of days. Are you free? She wants to meet you on set."
"She said she sent you two episodes of the script, and you should try to find the feeling of composing music."
One rule after another, Tu Chaoxi was getting a headache from listening to them all, and said irritably, "Where did she get so many ridiculous rules from?"
Tu Yao urged, "Hurry up, we're just waiting for you! You need to forward this post now to complete the task."
"Sister Wenyu, Brother Jiangye has also prepared promotional banners. Xiaobai has already forwarded several of them, and they're still flooding the screen."
"Teacher Ma was also assigned to write a 20,000-word publicity article!"
Tu Chaoxi immediately scoffed, "Wouldn't that be incredibly pleasurable for him?"
"Alright, alright, it's done!"
After forwarding the message, Tu Chaoxi successfully shifted the focus to Tu Yao.
He grabbed him and pulled him over. "Come here, Tu Xiaomao, starting tomorrow, you're staying home! Stay home for a full week, you hear me!"
Tu Xiaomao hadn't quite figured it out, but the opponent's attack was clearly quite fierce, so he had to prepare for physical isolation.
Tu Yao blinked: "But... Xiao Chi went to help me with something tonight, and I have to go see him."
"Besides, I haven't seen Koike for a long time."
Tu Chaoxi scoffed: "Ha, haven't you heard of it? 'A bosom friend afar brings a distant land near.' If you and Xu Chi are on good terms, it doesn't matter if you're thousands of miles apart!"
Tu Yao: ...
"But... not only Xiaochi, I also need to go to the hospital to see Madam tomorrow..."
"If you're worried, can I have my second brother come with me?"
When the topic turned to Madam Jiang, Tu Chaoxi fell silent.
For some reason, after seeing that old lady today, Tu Chaoxi still felt uneasy.
An elderly woman living alone was forced by her nephews and nieces to feign illness and endure the pain.
He waved his hand and relented, "Alright, alright, you can go now."
He turned to look at Nan Ke and said, "Keep an eye on her."
Nan Ke sighed helplessly, "Fine, fine, fine."
His older brother treated him like a thief, but how could he possibly guard against something like that?
...
The next morning, under Tu Chaoxi's watchful gaze, Tu Yao pulled Nan Ke out the door.
On the other side, Jiang Peng woke up to find that all his idols had disappeared.
