Dramatic changes in the movies and TV shows

Chapter 1196 Feeling refreshed
The two lunged at the fruit knife at the same time, but Liu Yingxia was faster and grabbed the fruit knife, pointing it at Jia Kuan.

"What are you doing!" Jia Kuan said excitedly, "No, let's talk this out, my injury hasn't healed yet!"

"I...I won't do it!" Liu Yingxia said, somewhat frightened. "I feel safe with this thing in my hands!"

"Don't get agitated, don't get agitated!" Jia Kuan quickly advised, seeing the situation. "Shall we sit down and talk?"

Seeing Jia Kuan's frightened expression, Liu Yingxia finally calmed down, then put the knife away before sitting down on the single sofa where Jia Kuan had been sitting.

Seeing that Liu Yingxia had placed the knife at a distance, Jia Kuan also calmed down and then sincerely said:
"I know you look down on me. I've become so pathetic that sometimes I don't even respect myself!"

"So you knew all along!" Liu Yingxia said in an unfriendly tone.

"I know, that's why I feel ashamed!" Jia Kuan finally spoke his mind:
"I know you look down on me a bit right now, but let's be reasonable!"

"First, I was promoted to VG, and then I asked Xiao Hao to do everything he could to get you transferred in!"

"Do you know how much pressure I was under and how much risk I took at that time?"

"Oh, now that you've done well, you look down on me and want to discard me after you've served your purpose, firing the one who came first!"

“This is not how you do things! Do you know how unfair you are? This is what I’m most angry about!”

“I didn’t even believe the gossip outside, but your attitude when you came back made me very uncomfortable. We are husband and wife, after all!”

"Why don't we just talk things out? You don't have to say those things to upset me, right?"

Jia Kuan's words made Liu Yingxia start to reflect. She realized that she had indeed been somewhat like Jia Kuan said, and that she bore some responsibility for the tense relationship between them.

Considering that her relationship with Jia Kuan had just improved, and it wasn't the time to continue discussing layoffs, she said somewhat irritably:
"Just pretend I didn't say anything!"

"That's right!" Jia Kuan thought he had persuaded Liu Yingxia, so he was in a great mood. He then brought up the matter of Lin Hao and Jian Ai:

"Honey, shouldn't we help out with Xiao Hao and his wife's situation?"

"Sure!" Liu Yingxia said instinctively, "I've already called Teacher Wu Qing, she'll be here in the next couple of days!"

Jia Kuan, who had been feeling rather content, suddenly realized what was happening and excitedly exclaimed:

"Hey, how did you manage to bring her here?!"

"You're going to ruin Lin Hao!" Jia Kuan said, utterly speechless.

"Liu Yingxia, can't you use your brain when you do things?!"

"Are you out of your mind? You know what kind of person Teacher Wu is!"

Before Jia Kuan could finish speaking, Liu Yingxia angrily retorted, "Who are you calling brainless? She's not your mother, what are you afraid of!"

Jia Kuan opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say. This had ruined his brother.

"Well, better to sacrifice a fellow Daoist than myself. I believe Lin Hao has a way to solve this!"

······
Meanwhile, Jian Ai's mother, Wu Qing, indeed rushed over from Yunnan.

However, she didn't come here specifically for that purpose. She was there to film a movie and, having been tipped off by Liu Yingxia, came to see her daughter.

However, the relationship between the mother and daughter was never very harmonious. It was only through the original owner's mediation that they agreed not to interfere in each other's lives, which brought about a slight improvement in harmony.

It was just a little too harmonious; both sides acted like it was all business when they met, and spoke very politely.

"Open the door, I'm right at your door!" Wu Qing stood at Jian Ai's door and dialed her number.

Jane was instantly jolted awake, then remembered her divorce, and subconsciously said:
"Ah, Teacher Wu, I'm not in Beijing, I'm out of town!"

"Open the door!" Wu Qing said coldly, "Your lying skills are still so clumsy, hurry up and open the door!"

Jane Eyre, left with no other option, could only force a smile and open the door for Wu Qing. As soon as Wu Qing entered, he immediately gave the order:

"Bring my luggage in, give me a glass of warm water with lemon, some fresh fruit, and a hot towel!"

After putting away her luggage, Jian Ai immediately prepared the items as Wu Qing had requested.

"I've put three lemon slices in for you. Is there anything else you need?" Jane asked politely.

The tone wasn't like greeting a mother, but rather like greeting a stranger visiting someone's home.

"I apologize for arriving in Beijing without prior notice, and so late at night!" Wu Qing said politely in return.

"Why are you being so polite with me?" Jane said politely. "Did you come all this way in such a hurry because something's wrong?"

Wu Qing wiped his hands, looked around, and then said:

"A few friends are putting on a play, and they specifically wanted me for a role. I can't always refuse when it comes to saving face. So I came to help out!"

"Filming is good. What film is so urgent that you have to rush over in the middle of the night?" Jian Ai said politely with a fake smile.

"Where's Xiao Hao?" Wu Qing didn't answer, but looked towards the bedroom and asked, "Has he moved out already?"

Jane was startled by his words and, forgetting all formalities, blurted out without thinking:

"Oh, he's away on a business trip. He's got a lot going on this time, so I doubt he'll be back even after you finish filming!"

Wu Qing already knew that Jian Ai had divorced Lin Hao, but seeing that her daughter was still putting on an act, she asked casually:
"Didn't you two get divorced?"

"Should I still stay in this room?" Wu Qing pointed to the room that had been reserved for her.

"Yes, that room has been reserved for you!" Jane said somewhat awkwardly.

"You should have told me about your divorce beforehand, given our relationship!" Wu Qing said earnestly, then pulled her luggage into the master bedroom.

“Teacher Wu, that’s my room!” Jian Ai said, frowning.

"Is there anyone else inside?" Wu Qing asked casually.

"Didn't you just check everything carefully?" Jane said with a helpless expression.

"Let's sleep together tonight, just so you can keep me company!" With that, Wu Qing dragged her luggage into the bedroom.

······
In the early morning, sunlight streamed onto the king-size bed in the bedroom. It must be said, Zhou Yiming's large single-level apartment is indeed very comfortable to live in.

When she woke up, she looked around in a daze and was immediately startled by the vivid and sensual scene before her eyes, and then she remembered the madness of the previous night.

He pried open the several pink legs and jade arms that were pressing down on him, sat up, and looked around. At this moment, five beautiful women were lying together in a mess.

Their bodies were intertwined, their legs and thighs overlapping, a scene of chaotic sexual misconduct after drinking. Lin Hao struggled for a while before finally managing to get up from the pile of five women.

After getting up and dressing, Lin Hao took out the five women's phones, unlocked them with their fingerprints, and transferred 10 yuan to each of them. Lin Hao wasn't the kind of person who lacked taste and was always thinking of taking advantage of others. After putting the phones away, he went to the living room and found it filled with men and women.

Looking around, you can see several people lying on the living room sofa, four lying on the dining table, and many more on the floor and chairs, all in all sorts of strange sleeping positions, with snoring sounds rising and falling.

These people were none of Lin Hao's business. He then carried his luggage and stepped over the mountain of people to come downstairs.

Then I'll drive to DeepBlue Consulting first, and we should be able to settle things today.

Seeing the Cullinan SUV parked in its designated parking space, he knew Lin Jing had arrived.

Therefore, Lin Hao didn't argue with the security guard, found a parking space, and went straight upstairs.

"Hello, Mr. Lin!"

Good morning, Mr. Lin!

"morning!"

"Mr. Lin, you look so radiant, something good must have happened!" Secretary Jiang Nan praised with a smile.

Thinking of their passionate encounter last night, Lin Hao smiled and said, "If you know how to compliment someone, then compliment them a bit!"

Jiang Nan smiled, feeling that Lin Hao was particularly humorous today. Seeing that they were almost at the office, she quickly said:

"By the way, both President Jing and President Gu have arrived. In one hour, they met with everyone involved in the bidding, as well as the managers of the East China and South China regions!"

"Did they contact you?" Lin Hao asked with a smile.

"No!" Jiang Nan said honestly.

"Not smart!" Lin Hao chuckled and shook his head, saying, "If I were her, I would have approached you first, or even bribed you beforehand!"

"Mr. Lin, you have a discerning eye!" Jiang Nan said with a smile.

"I feel like you're praising yourself!" Lin Hao said, feigning thoughtfulness.

"But you're not wrong either. I do have a discerning eye; otherwise, how could I have discovered such a gem as you!"

To be honest, putting aside Jiang Nan's abilities, she really is a gem, the apple of Wan Yaoming's eye, the boss of Chuangda Company.

Lin Hao's two sentences were enough to make the secretary overjoyed. Ignoring the silly girl, Lin Hao went straight into the office.

"Sister, brother-in-law, you're here so early!" Lin Hao knew why his brother-in-law Gu Chen had come today, but he still greeted him casually.

"President Jing, President Gu!" Jiang Nan greeted respectfully, then helped Lin Hao put away his briefcase.

"You can go out now!" Lin Jing said to Jiang Nan.

Jiang Nan looked at Lin Hao, and Lin Hao nodded and said, "You go ahead and get busy!"

"Okay!" Jiang Nan said and left the office.

"How many times have I told you to renovate your office properly? It's not like we don't have the means!" Gu Chen said to Lin Hao with a smile, but anyone who heard it knew that there was another meaning behind his words.

"Ah, no need, I quite like this style!" Lin Hao replied with a smile, his tone neither too firm nor too soft.

"After all, it's my office, so it should definitely be decorated according to my preferred style!"

Gu Chen nodded indifferently, then said forcefully:

"Okay, I'll find a good designer later and design something for you according to your style!"

Before Lin Hao could speak, Gu Chen continued:

"Xiao Hao, you are my brother-in-law after all, we are all family, so I can't say some things too harshly, but you can't be too willful!"

"Brother-in-law, if you have any complaints, just say so, I'm all ears!" Lin Hao said politely, which also implied that he was just listening and had no intention of making any changes.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen unceremoniously took out a document and threw it directly in front of Lin Hao, saying:

"Congratulations to Wan Yaoming, CEO of Chuangda, on securing this huge order from President Su!"

Lin Hao flipped through the documents, then said smugly:

"He truly is a leading figure in South China. His reaction was incredibly quick and his vision was remarkable. Even at a time like this, he still offered his congratulations. He is truly admirable!"

"Stop saying those weird things!" Lin Jing couldn't stand it anymore. She was definitely on Gu Chen's side at this point, and said irritably:
"You're so rude, can't you understand? That's admiration, isn't it?"

“They were questioning us. They even called your brother-in-law, indirectly accusing us of breaking the rules!”

"What else can these people do besides their江湖 (jianghu) habits?" Lin Hao said nonchalantly.

Gu Chen smiled and said, "I think Xiao Hao, you're the most chivalrous one. Five years of honing your skills, could it be just to get revenge on VG?"

"You know what, you might actually do it!" Lin Jing chimed in, supporting Gu Chen.

"You're willing to risk your reputation, your future, your sister, and your brother-in-law, right?"

Lin Hao shook his head and said solemnly, "To be honest, I really didn't intend to take revenge on anyone!"

Gu Chen frowned and said, "If you didn't intend to take revenge on anyone, then why did you do this? It's harmful to others and doesn't benefit yourself. You even kicked Chengkang out of this contract."

"I just want to completely open up our sales channels so that everyone can share them at low cost, or even for free!"

"Low cost? Free?" Lin Jing exclaimed excitedly.
"Lin Hao, are you crazy? This company was set up for you by me, your brother-in-law, and Cheng Kang. Now you have to serve Cheng Kang!"

"This is a road we built, why should we give it to others to use for free?"

"Yes, yes, yes, you paid for the repairs!" Lin Hao said, feigning concern for the country and its people.

"But if such a wide road is only used by you alone, or by a few people you designate, doesn't that create a lot of idle and wasted resources?"

"We have plenty of empty rooms in our house, anyone can stay there?" Lin Jing said irritably.
"This is our core competitive advantage!"

Lin Hao retorted directly:
"True competition should be healthy. It's like I spent five years building this car, which has maps of all over the country and passes for all regions. Now it's ranked among the top five in the country!"

"So now it shouldn't be just serving a minority like you!"

Gu Chen nodded after listening, then said earnestly:

"Xiao Hao, I know that the sharing economy is popular nowadays, and I don't mean to oppose it or say that they can't ride with us!"

"But the problem is that the sharing economy is not the same as the free economy; they always have to pay some price!"

"Just like you said, I painstakingly built this channel, but I let others use it for free and kicked my own group out of the game. What do you expect the people in the group to think? How am I supposed to explain this to the shareholders?"
