Wen Li had no idea that the news had gone viral; it was Huo Yinghuai who eventually told her.
In the past few days, Wen Li has become extremely proficient with her mobile phone and quickly logged into her Big Eyes account.
The video wasn't very clear. There were a lot of people that day, with many police officers surrounding the innermost area, and the media were all outside the police cordon. The entire video only captured Wen Li pushing Huo Yinghuai away and then reaching out to catch the man just as he was about to fall to the ground.
The viral video is less than 20 seconds long, while Wen Li did both of these things in less than four seconds.
Wen Li watched the video repeatedly, then silently clicked save.
Huo Yinghuai found Wen Li's little actions somewhat amusing and asked, "Should I contact the media to delete the video?"
Wen Li was still looking down at the comments when she heard this and shook her head: "The video didn't capture anything else, so it's okay not to delete it. Besides, I think the video of me turned out pretty good."
"Then I won't delete it," Huo Yinghuai said indulgently.
In the era of short videos, traffic fades quickly. After a few days, the hype dies down, and basically no one pays attention to it anymore.
However, in the following days, Huo Yinghuai noticed that Wen Li always left early and returned late, sometimes even later than him, and she was always covered in dust.
Huo Yinghuai asked the driver about the situation. The driver hesitated for a long time before finally managing to say, "Miss Wen leaves at 5:30 every morning and arrives at the construction site at 7:00 sharp to move bricks."
"What?" Huo Yinghuai thought he had misheard, but the driver didn't seem to be lying.
The driver himself also had a lot of grievances to share.
Huo Yinghuai paid him a high salary. He used to be on call 24/7, sometimes leaving early and returning late. But now that he's with Wen Li, he has to get up at 5 a.m. every day and not get off work until midnight.
Who could stand this?
Upon hearing this, Huo Yinghuai indeed noticed the driver's two thick bags under his eyes.
He decided to have a serious talk with Wen Li.
It was almost 11 o'clock when Wen Li returned.
Wen Li didn't wear the clothes Huo Yinghuai had prepared for her. Instead, she bought a few cheap short-sleeved shirts online and wore a pair of army green liberation shoes. Her fair face was only distinguished by her bright, dark eyes.
Even though Huo Yinghuai was mentally prepared, he was still somewhat surprised to see Wen Li like this.
"Huo Yinghuai, are you getting off work so early today?"
Wen Li had just changed her shoes and bent down when she saw Huo Yinghuai sitting on the sofa. Her eyes lit up immediately, as if seeing Huo Yinghuai was a very happy thing.
Wen Li has discovered recently that as long as she spends more time with Huo Yinghuai, she will definitely make money the next day.
Huo Yinghuai is usually quite busy, so the two rarely have a chance to talk.
Huo Yinghuai's expression softened as he looked at the dusty little girl in front of him: "I heard you went to a construction site to carry bricks. Are you tired?"
Wen Li used to go upstairs to wash up, but today Huo Yinghuai wanted to talk to her, and she was too embarrassed to sit on the sofa because she was all dirty, so she stood opposite Huo Yinghuai.
He looked like a primary school student being scolded.
"It's a bit tiring, but big cities are different; you can earn a lot of money every day."
She's almost earned 10,000 yuan in the last few days!
She wouldn't have dared to even think about it before.
Thinking of this, Wen Li felt a little regretful: "But the construction site is almost finished, and the boss told me I don't need to go tomorrow."
Huo Yinghuai still had a faint smile on his face, not telling Wen Li at all that the construction site she went to was his.
He didn't object to Wen Li earning money by carrying bricks, but Wen Li was too young and couldn't carry bricks day and night. If she continued like this, she would eventually break down.
So what are you planning to do next?
On her way back, Wen Li kept thinking about it, and suddenly she remembered Zhou Xingyun, whom she had met some time ago.
Wen Li took out the contact information left by Zhou Xingyun from her pocket.
Huo Yinghuai recognized the company as a small, unfamiliar one, but he did recognize the person named Zhou Xingyun on the business card.
"Zhou Xingyun is quite capable, having mentored two Best Actor winners and one Best Actress winner, but he was fired from the company a year ago after allegations of sexual harassment surfaced."
The Huo Group owns many businesses, including two film and television companies that are not very successful. Therefore, Huo Yinghuai has some knowledge of the entertainment industry.
“He’s not that kind of person,” Wen Li said with certainty.
Zhou Xingyun has an upright appearance, but he is prone to being targeted by malicious people. The alleged sexual harassment is very likely a setup.
Huo Yinghuai nodded: "Aside from the sexual harassment incident, Zhou Xingyun has always had a good reputation. If you want to go, I can help you get in touch."
He could have brought Wen Li into his company, but Zhou Xingyun's abilities were indeed quite good.
Moreover, small companies don't issue many announcements, so there will be plenty of time to learn in the future.
And no matter what, it's better than working long hours and doing manual labor.
Wen Li felt reassured and nodded cautiously, "I'll contact him myself."
She has troubled Huo Yinghuai too many times.
Huo Yinghuai seemed to be thinking about something, his gaze deep: "Okay, if you don't understand anything, you can tell me. After we've discussed it, I'll help you contact a lawyer to review the contract."
Upon hearing this, Wen Li nodded vigorously: "Okay, once I find a new job, I'll help you sort out the construction site issue."
Since that day, no problems have arisen at the construction site. This is actually because Wen Li casually burned a talisman to ward off evil spirits, but to completely eliminate the problem, the root cause must be found.
Wen Li looked at the murderous aura on Huo Yinghuai and said, "You also need to get rid of the murderous aura on you as soon as possible."
Her cash cow can't fall!
At one o'clock in the morning, Wen Li finished washing up and dialed Zhou Xingyun's number.
At that moment, Zhou Xingyun's eyes were half-closed. He looked at the unfamiliar number on his phone and subconsciously wanted to hang up, but because he was still half asleep, he pressed the answer button.
