"Promise? What promise are you talking about?"
The director shook his head with a disappointed look on his face: "Have you forgotten everything? Didn't you say you would build a house for Granny Sang?"
"How could I forget!"
Xu Shang immediately said, "Why do I work so hard to make money? With the speed at which I'm making money now, I believe it won't be long before I have enough money to build a house for Grandma Sang."
After hearing this, the director's cheeks slightly raised and a fleeting smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Time? Do you have the time?"
"There is only one episode left in the show. You only have less than a week. Can you earn enough money to build a house for Granny Sang in this week?"
Xu Shang was stunned. His mind was full of making money. He didn't expect that the Metamorphosis show was about to end.
The director continued, "Xu Shang, I admit that you are very capable. But you can't use Tianya Village as your stage and springboard, use the opportunity of the show to make yourself famous, and then leave a mess here, right?"
"A mess?"
Xu Shang looked unhappy: "You are confusing right and wrong by saying this, aren't you?"
"You don't believe it?"
The director grinned and said, "Then follow me!"
Xu Shang was a little confused, so he handed the tricycle to Brother Daniu and followed the director all the way.
After a while, they arrived at the grocery store in the village. Xu Shang found that the store was open, but the owner was nowhere to be seen.
The director took Xu Shang to the window and pointed inside: "Be quiet and listen inside."
Xu Shang pricked up his ears suspiciously, and the noise coming from inside made him slightly stunned.
“Crash!”
"Big, big, big!"
"Leopard, leopard!"
"open!"
It was obvious that the people in the house were gambling.
The director took Xu Shang to a nearby place and said to him meaningfully:
"Xu Shang, do you think you've done a pretty good job?"
"These people were living well, but then you showed up and attracted some wealthy idlers from the city. These people were generous and gave the villagers hundreds of yuan to rent a house for ten days, but then what? They used the money for gambling!"
"There was no gambling in the village originally, but your business of collecting medicine, especially the business of asking villagers to exchange medicine for things with you, caused the shop owner to lose money, so he opened a casino."
"When the show is over, you go home and continue to live the life of a rich second-generation. You become famous, and your show has millions of views. Wow, how great! But you leave a mess in Tianya Village."
"That attention will no longer come, and those rich people in the city will no longer come to this remote and poor little place. They have to return to their original lives. But their hearts have changed. Xu Shang, I wonder if you have ever heard of this poem: I could have endured the darkness if I had never seen the light."
"The most terrifying thing is not living in darkness, but that they have seen light. After seeing the lives of those rich people, can they continue to endure such a poor life?"
"They couldn't stand it, so they just wanted to take shortcuts, so they started - gambling!"
Xu Shang stared at the small shop in the distance. At this time, five or six people walked into the shop together.
As if reflecting what the director said, the poor could have endured poverty, but after seeing the colorful world, their hearts became confused and they could no longer endure the poor life, thus turning to more extreme evils such as gambling.
"This is the sadness of poverty!" the director sighed.
This scene also shocked Xu Shang. He remembered a sentence and couldn't help but murmured: "If a ray of light shines into the darkness, then this light is guilty."
The director was surprised: "I didn't expect you to have read so many books. I'm glad you have such an understanding. Now -"
Before the director finished speaking, Xu Shang interrupted and asked, "Director, are you trying to PUA me?"
"PUA?"
"You don't even know this word. It seems that you haven't read enough books, Director."
Xu Shang said calmly, "Director, what you just said is really interesting. It turns out that the owner of this small shop opened a place because I stole his business. These people went to gamble because I attracted people from the city and made them money, so they decided to take shortcuts, right?"
The director opened his mouth and said, "Although I didn't mean that, isn't there an obvious connection?"
Xu Shang smiled and said firmly:
"Then you are also responsible for the 30 million children who starved to death in Africa!"
The director was stunned. "Why should I be held responsible for the starving children in Africa? And 30 million!"
It was such a huge pot that it almost knocked the director out.
But Xu Shang said with reason: "As a director, you didn't fulfill your responsibilities. You didn't go to the place where the world needed you the most! You didn't make a program about starving African children for people all over the world to watch! As a result, they didn't pay attention to the problem of starving children! As a result, starving children died because they couldn't get food! And you still dare to say that there is nothing wrong with you!"
The director was dumbfounded: "How could this have anything to do with me?"
Xu Shang whistled and hummed, "Although I didn't mean that, there is an obvious connection!"
"I……"
The director couldn't utter a word for a long time. He didn't even say a word about the little boy Xu Shang.
