Chapter 48:  Video Call  (1)

Zhou Jianguo’s reason for not eating the sweet wasn’t entirely a matter of money. He just couldn’t eat this kind of sweet stuff. Once, he tried a sweet tube his workmate bought. Immediately after, he felt something was wrong after the first bite, so he stopped and never tried again.

Zhou Jianguo came out to buy things for the contractor as an errand, so he naturally couldn’t stay outside for long. He hurriedly bid us farewell and rushed to the construction site.

Luo Bei stared at his back as it faded into the distance and sighed. ” Your Uncle Zhou is a really optimistic person.”

Luo Bei rarely saw such a hardworking person. It was as if the virtues of hard work, initiative, and self-discipline had been carved into Zhou Jianguo’s bones. Even if he was in an unfavorable environment, he would not waste a single second. It seemed to him that wasting time was shameful, so he used all the time he could use to earn more.

Fang Jingzhou didn’t understand what Luo Bei was saying. At that moment, all his mind was concentrated on the sweet tube.

Chen Lan wasn’t filled with disgust knowing that Fang Jingzhou was leaving. These past few days, she found him a lot more pleasing to the eye. At least she didn’t bother him on purpose. She even gave him two thousand yuan as pocket money.

Chen Lan wasn’t short of money. When Fang Jingzhou’s biological father found out about the boy’s existence, he gave her a large sum of money. She had spent most of it; although she hadn’t been short of men, she hadn’t worked all these years. Nevertheless, she still had money saved. Chen Lan’s lifestyle took credit for it.

Zhao Pianpian bought several sets of clothes and toys for Fang Jingzhou as gifts. The tenants of the other buildings knew about the child’s sufferings. Some of them gave him picture albums and some gave him snacks. He spent a few days in everyone’s gaze.

Luo Bei knew that Fang Jingzhou wasn’t going from hell to heaven when he returned to his hometown with his grandmother. After all, he wasn’t that close to his grandparents. To him, adapting to a new environment would be painful. However, this was the best choice for the kid. Perhaps he wouldn’t be able to get a lot of material and mental satisfaction, but at the very least, he would have a chance to be a normal child. Witnessing Fang Jingzhou’s story, Luo Bei realized that for many children, having a normal childhood was very rare.

Jiang Sihan knew that Fang Jingzhou was leaving, but was busy on the set in another city. He could not get free or spare time to go shopping for gifts. Now that he was shopping for gifts online, he couldn’t know for sure if the seller would deliver on time. So, he transferred 500 yuan to Luo Bei and entrusted her with buying Fang Jingzhou some clothes or taking him to play. This money was at Luo Bei’s disposal.

Lou Bei accepted the money gladly.

Lou Bei: ” Thank you, Big Boss.”

Jiang Sihan saw this SMS, and couldn’t help but laugh.

Lou Bei: “I don’t even need money for food and lodging with the crew. When the paycheck is settled, I’ll have some money on my hands. After finishing, I’ll invite you to a seafood buffet. “

Lou Bei pretended to be dissatisfied.

Lou Bei: “You’re about to become a celebrity, and you’re treating us to a 100-per-capita buffet? Doesn’t your conscience hurt? “

Jiang Sihan laid on a bed at his hotel right now. He had just taken a shower and didn’t have much time to memorize his lines. He wanted to chat with Luo Bei on video, but Luo Bei cruelly rejected him.

Lou Bei: “I don’t have any makeup, so I won’t. Let’s just use voice.”

Jiang Sihan: ” It’s not like I have never seen it before.”

These words were very ambiguous, but for some reason, his voice didn’t have that ambiguous tone when he said it…

Lou Bei: “I hate front cameras.”

Jiang Sihan: “Oh.”

Jiang Sihan: “Did you receive the chocolate I sent you?”

If it had been sent by someone else, perhaps Luo Bei would have thought that the person was interested in her, but since it was sent by Jiang Sihan, she didn’t think about it twice before dismissing the thought. She understood who Jiang Sihan was. He was the kind of person who would repay someone’s kindness. It was precisely because she and Grandma had given him some food in his most difficult time, that he would always think of her whenever he had something good to eat.

Lou Bei: “I received it. It was delicious, but I’ve gained a pound because of it.”

Jiang Sihan’s low laughter came from the other side. ” That was from the crew. I think it was brought back from a foreign country, so I sent it to you. “

She knew it.

Luo Bei: “Are you doing well on set? No one is bullying you, right? ” 

Luo Bei wasn’t worried about Jiang Sihan. After all, this was Tom Su. No one would be envious of his smooth path. From the moment he entered the set, he had already started his journey to the top.

Jiang Sihan: “It’s not bad. I am slowly getting familiar with everyone. Everyone is pretty cool. The director praised me for my talent. He said that although I didn’t come from an academic class, I have potential.”

Jiang Sihan suddenly laughed in melancholy.

Jiang Sihan: ” I wanted to play music, but I didn’t manage to make a name for myself. Instead, I got selected for acting so quickly.

Luo Bei:”……” I’ll just pretend you’re showing off.”

As an ordinary person who didn’t have any special skills and wasn’t a good-for-nothing, Lou Bei expressed that she couldn’t relate to “Jiang Tom’s” troubles.

Jiang Sihan: “But since I’ve already signed a contract with Brother Liu and I’ve started acting now, I’ll give it my best.”

Jiang Sihan: “Playing music costs money too. I have to work to realize my dream. “

He was right.

These words were marked in her heart. The people in this world who insisted on following their dreams were indeed very cool. People get hungry if they don’t eat a meal and chase iron rice bowls1 Iron rice bowl is a Chinese term used to refer to an occupation with guaranteed job security, as well as steady income and benefits.. They can’t even take care of their own lives. How would they have the energy to last until the day their dreams came true?
