Chapter 37 Wishing you boundless happiness
The director couldn't help but remark, "It's gotten much quieter since Teacher Tu left."
He glanced around instinctively, then asked in confusion, "Huh? Where's my sister?"
Upon searching, they discovered that Tu Yao had already gone into her mushroom house and was busy working away.
Tu Chaoxi was afraid that Tu Yao would be too used to being with him and would not be able to adapt to anything when he was gone, so he took every opportunity to repeatedly remind a group of staff members to take good care of her.
However, it seems that Tu Yao is much calmer than Tu Chaoxi is.
But the director still keenly sensed something was wrong. He walked over, squatted down, and asked in as gentle a tone as possible, "Little sister, what did your brother say to you?"
Button mushrooms require constant temperature control, and the way to regulate the temperature is to open small windows of different curvatures.
Her hands didn't stop moving; she subconsciously recalled what she was doing.
"He said the director uncle is a good person. Although the show isn't very good, he has a good temper."
director:……
"If you want to go to town, hitch a ride in the filming uncle's van, but it's best not to go. If you need money, ask the director uncle."
"Tomorrow will be sunny. If you plan to dry the wheat, ask the director for help. There are plenty of people in the production team anyway."
"Don't go to bed early and get up early to work. Sleep more, eat more, and be lazy. If you're too busy, go find the director."
In short, if you have any problems, go to the director.
The director was in a state of mixed feelings, unsure whether to be happy that Tu Chaoxi trusted him so much or to feel a headache coming on.
As usual, Ma Zhiyuan chimed in to stir up trouble: "All he said to you was to make you think the director is a sucker, huh?"
Tu Yao glanced at him and continued, "You also told me to play more with Sister Wenyu and Brother Jiangye, and stay away from Teacher Ma."
Ma Zhiyuan: ...
Ma Zhiyuan was not discouraged: "He's teaching you to take advantage of others. You're only eighteen, and you already want to get something for nothing and be lazy. Don't you understand that suffering a loss is a blessing?"
Tu Yao: "Then I wish you boundless happiness."
Ma Zhiyuan: ...
Having successfully angered Ma Zhiyuan, the director felt somewhat relieved.
Judging from his confrontational attitude, he doesn't seem to be having any issues.
"Okay, I'll listen to your brother. You can come to see your uncle anytime, whether you need anything or not."
"If you miss your brother, come visit your uncle too."
Although it doesn't look like I really want to.
The director silently grumbled to himself, then left with his staff.
Before long, only Tu Yao was left sitting in front of the small mushroom house.
She spaced out for a while, then stood up and walked around again.
Her button mushrooms have grown much taller and are thriving.
Her plastic film was dried thoroughly in the sun.
Her cow dung was fresh and moist.
She had nothing left to do.
As usual, she should go back to sleep.
So she washed her hands and then her face, but subconsciously, she went back into the yard.
In the empty courtyard, a gust of wind made Tu Yao shiver.
She sniffed her slightly red nose, stared blankly ahead, and then, as if suddenly realizing something, turned and ran towards the back of the house.
There is a path behind the house that leads up the mountain. If you run along the path, you can run all the way to the highest point.
Tu Yao didn't know how long she had been running; the wind kept whistling in her ears, but she didn't stop for a moment.
She stopped, panting, when she saw a black car driving out on the winding mountain road on another mountain.
The car drove slowly and carefully along the long highway, and soon disappeared into an unseen bend.
Tu Yao murmured, "Goodbye, brother."
...
Tu Chaoxi returned to the city in the afternoon, and an hour later sat down opposite Chen Meiling and presented her with a statement that the contract would not be renewed upon its expiration.
Chen Meiling never imagined that in just half a month, by simply appearing on a shabby, low-brow variety show, all the scandals that could have ruined his career were resolved one by one, and now netizens are even questioning the authenticity of the diary.
Over the course of two days, people, seemingly enjoying the spectacle, even managed to get the hashtag #SupportTuChaoxi'sContractTermination# trending on social media.
But how could she let Tu Chaoxi go now?
Chen Meiling forced a smile and said solicitously, "Actually, you can renew your contract. The company has decided to set up a separate studio for you. We had a meeting before you came and we guarantee that we will do our best to plan your development path."
He then handed over the new contract.
Tu Chaoxi glanced at her sideways: "Do I look like an idiot to you?"
Chen Meiling: ...
"Xiao Tu, this time we genuinely want to continue working with you."
"So all that pretense was just a facade, treating me like a cash cow."
Chen Meiling: ...
There's no way we can talk about this anymore.
She frowned and said, "Don't forget, that Hong Kong heiress is still in the hospital. Once she realizes what's going on, blacklisting you will be a piece of cake."
Port City Heiress...
Tu Chaoxi raised an eyebrow. Before coming, he had asked the production team, and the director only said that someone had invested money twice in a row, proposing that Gu Feihong and the band be on the show. It would be a fool not to make money if they could. The director did not investigate the specifics.
But on the way here, he had someone check the number that was supposed to contact Mingzhou, and it was registered in Hong Kong.
He couldn't understand what deep-seated grudge he had against this so-called heiress from Hong Kong that would make her travel all this way to trick him.
Not content with setting up a trap, they relentlessly launched a bomb-like encirclement and suppression campaign.
"She's been lying in bed for a month and a half now, isn't she planning to wake up?"
Tu Chaoxi scoffed: "You might as well wake up. Lying in bed for so long hasn't killed me."
Chen Meiling's expression changed slightly, and she immediately glanced around warily: "Tu Chaoxi, what do you mean? Why would a rich young lady like her deliberately mess with you?"
"Don't talk nonsense, or it'll implicate the company!"
"Therefore, in order to avoid implicating your company."
Tu Chaoxi pushed the contract back: "I won't renew this contract."
"you!"
Chen Meiling was furious: "Fine, fine, I'll see how far you can go by yourself!"
As soon as the person left, Tu Chaoxi took out a file folder.
His abilities were limited, and the information he had access to was also limited; he only managed to find a few fragmented pieces of information about this young lady from the Bai family in Hong Kong.
The city of Hong Kong has a complex web of relationships, with the Xu family, which has a century-old foundation, at the head. Underneath them are some established family businesses with slightly less history than the Xu family, as well as some emerging companies.
The Cheng family, who took Tu Yao away, belonged to the latter category, while the Bai family belonged to the former.
The Bai family's port business, which had been in decline for three generations, unexpectedly hitched a ride on a side branch of the Xu family ten years ago, and since then, it has been going smoothly.
Bai Chumeng, the youngest daughter of the Bai family, is 25 years old. Ten years ago, it was because she accidentally saved a member of the Xu family who had fallen into the water that a new path for the family was opened up.
However, recently, the Xu family's collateral branch was dealt with by the newly appointed family head, and the Bai family has also entered a bottleneck at the same time.
Ten years... Tu Chaoxi raised an eyebrow. Another ten years.
Ten years ago, their family fell apart, while others happened to ride the wave and build high-rise buildings.
At the front desk of the inpatient department of Gangcheng Hospital, several nurses were chatting quietly.
"I heard the person in the VIP ward is planning to be discharged?"
"It seems so. They didn't have any illness, but they stayed there for almost two months. I don't really understand these rich people."
"I heard that she suddenly smashed up her room today. This gentle and kind young lady was suddenly smashing up her room like crazy."
Inside the room, several servants silently cleaned up the broken pieces scattered on the floor.
A girl with disheveled hair and wearing a white nightgown sat by the bed. The next second, she reached out and swept her hand forward, smashing two vases to the ground.
After smashing the phone, Bai Chumeng picked it up again and scanned the trending topics list with a gloomy face. The hashtag #SupportTuChaoxi'sContractTermination# was still hanging high. In just half a month, the dead end she had painstakingly created had actually been broken!
Instead, she faced a lot of criticism.
If that's the case, why is she still staying in this run-down hospital?!
Beside him stood a man in a suit, who looked to be nearly forty years old, with a refined and gentle appearance.
Seeing this, he took out a handkerchief and wiped her wet arm.
Bai Chumeng said coldly, "Have you found that person from the Xu family?"
The man shook his head: "That person's whereabouts are unpredictable. Apart from a few direct relatives of the Xu family, no one has ever seen what he looks like."
Bai Chumeng stood up and walked around a pile of fragments: "We can't wait any longer. As soon as that person came back, he dealt with Uncle Xu Feng swiftly and decisively, and we were dragged down with him."
Not only Xu Feng, but also a whole bunch of his relatives were uprooted overnight.
Everyone is looking for the head of the family, but he seems to have vanished into thin air, and no one knows where he went.
After a while, Bai Chumeng clenched her fists, her voice trembling, "Uncle Tiandao, do you really think there's such a thing as luck?"
The man, her personal butler who had been with her for over ten years, smiled slightly and said, "Whether it's true or not, didn't Miss already verify that ten years ago?"
Bai Chumeng suddenly realized something: "...Yes, it has already been verified."
"As for Tu Chaoxi..."
The butler continued wiping her arm: "Miss, don't be discouraged. It's just one failure. Besides him, there are two others."
"At that time, everything will return to its original state."
Upon hearing this, the girl immediately looked up and gave a cold smile: "You're right."
"What's the current situation with those two?"
The butler said gently, "One has a broken leg, and the other is preparing his graduation project for the music academy."
Bai Chumeng raised an eyebrow slightly: "Let's put the one with the broken leg aside for now, and leave the rest to Uncle Tiandao."
"I refuse to believe I can fail again!"
The butler lowered his eyes even more respectfully, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a newly appeared entry on the screen.
#Sister: Failure is normal#
housekeeper:?
