Dramatic changes in the movies and TV shows

Chapter 1380 Old Lovers Reunite

As Lin Hao spoke, he deliberately glanced at Qin Xuemei and Wu Yansheng, as well as the impassive Yan Xiangli.

Finally, Lin Hao continued:

"That includes all of you. I have no interest in who you like or who you want to pursue, but everything must not interfere with the afforestation efforts on the dam."

"I'll emphasize one last time: all actions must be in accordance with orders. If anyone comes to Bashang with ulterior motives, I advise them to find connections to leave as soon as possible, otherwise the record on your files won't be so pleasant!"

As soon as Lin Hao finished speaking, everyone became serious. Any stain on their records would affect them for the rest of their lives.

Of course, this does not include Qin Xuemei, Wu Yansheng, and Yan Xiangli. However, Qin Xuemei and Yan Xiangli are both relatively low-key, unlike Wu Yansheng who is so flamboyant.

"Team Leader Lin, you've finished assigning us tasks in no time. What about you, Team Leader? Did you go back to rest after assigning us tasks?"

After Lin Hao finished making the arrangements, he was about to leave when Wu Yansheng started nitpicking again in a sarcastic tone.

"Heh, so concerned about me, huh?" Lin Hao thought to himself that this guy's guess was spot on, but Lin Hao certainly couldn't admit it, so he said righteously:
"Then I might as well tell you, the saplings planted on the dam are not just for you college students, but also for us."

“The eight of you are making outrageous demands, asking for 20,000 saplings. We don’t have that kind of capability. Before you came, we only managed to plant a little over 30,000 saplings in three years.”

"So after considering everything, I think you should plant yours and we'll plant ours."

"Therefore, it's not just you who need to check the suitable afforestation land; we need to as well. However, for your safety, we've assigned everyone to you to search!"

"I'll be bringing my assistant, Tang Qi. If you think it's unfair, then your group can have two people. How about we switch? Or maybe I can get a few more people on my side?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Tang Qi, who had always been relatively unknown. They were surprised to find that she had quietly infiltrated Lin Hao's side and become the team leader's assistant.

Shen Mengyin looked at Tang Qi and immediately regretted it. When Director Yu talked to her earlier and assigned her and Tang Qi to Lin Hao as assistants, she only reluctantly agreed. In fact, she didn't care much because she had been hesitant.

But after observing for a while, Lin Hao's excellence is simply obvious to the naked eye. Compared to Lin Hao, Wu Yansheng is like a pretty face with no substance.

She hadn't made up her mind before, but she didn't expect Tang Qi to act so quickly.

Seeing Tang Qi become Lin Hao's assistant made her anxious. She regretted not taking the initiative and then hesitated.

"Haha, haha, I didn't expect you to be so selfless, team leader!" Wu Yansheng chuckled twice before saying:
"Since the team leader is so confident in his abilities, we will resolutely obey orders!"

Qin Xuemei glanced at Wu Yansheng, lost in thought. Her opinion of Wu Yansheng was plummeting, especially after comparing him to Lin Hao, the contrast was even more stark.

Afterwards, everyone took a map and went to the places they had chosen to investigate the actual situation.

However, Lin Hao did not go to investigate, but instead took Tang Qi back to the outpost where they had lived before.

Back in familiar surroundings, Tang Qi felt completely relaxed.

The two then eagerly entered the dugout, opened the wardrobe door, and went directly into the underground house.

However, the moment Tang Qi opened the basement door, she was immediately stunned by the scene inside.

At this moment, red candles flickered on the dining table in the living room.

"So, do you like it?" Lin Hao said with a smile, "I put a lot of effort into setting this up!"

Tang Qi's eyes widened, her mouth slightly open, and her face full of surprise as she said, "I like it."

Strings of small colored lights hung from the ceiling, emitting a soft, warm yellow glow, like stars in the sky.

The gramophone in the room was playing soothing yet slightly ambiguous music—an English song with a very gentle melody.

A faint floral fragrance filled the air, adorned with several bunches of unidentified flowers, instantly enlivening the room.

It has a scent that's somewhat like roses or wild roses, making your heart race and involuntarily intoxicating you.

In other places, such an arrangement would be passable, but don't forget where this is: Saihanba, a place where birds have vanished and no one lives for miles around.

In such a desolate place, Lin Hao arranged such a romantic setting for her, which deeply moved her.

Lin Hao gently wrapped his arms around Tang Qi's waist from behind, his fingers lightly caressing her waist, his chin resting on her shoulder.

"Thank you for making our home so cozy even in such difficult circumstances!"

"As long as you like it, it's all worth it!" He chuckled mischievously and gently blew into her ear, the warm breath brushing against her earlobe, causing her body to tremble slightly.

Tang Qi's body trembled slightly, her cheeks instantly turning bright red, the redness spreading from her cheeks all the way to her ears, and even her neck turning pink.

She nodded, her voice soft and sweet, tinged with excitement and shyness, and said, "I love it, I love it so much."

The two, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, looked at each other with eyes full of tender love, as if it were about to overflow.

In such a warm and cozy setting, Lin Hao lowered his head and first kissed her forehead, then slowly moved down to the tip of her nose, and then to her rosy lips.

Tang Qi slowly closed her eyes, then passionately responded to Lin Hao, and their kiss gradually became more intense!

Then Lin Hao bent down, picked Tang Qi up in his arms, and gently placed her on the soft bed.

······
The two lingered like this until the afternoon, with Tang Qi nestled in Lin Hao's arms like a kitten, occasionally wriggling around.

"Little lazy cat, get up quickly, it'll be dark soon if we don't leave!" Since Tang Qi changed her name to Tang Qi, the two of them rarely had the opportunity to get together alone like this.

Therefore, they all cherish the present moment, which resulted in Tang Qiji's lack of energy.

Fortunately, their excuse was to check out suitable afforestation sites, so it's normal that they were a little tired.

When the other two teams return to camp, they probably won't be much better off than her.

However, Tang Qi was still very fortunate, because in the entire Saihanba area, no one knew this place better than Lin Hao.

Especially since she and Lin Hao lived in Bashang for a year, finding a suitable afforestation site would be a piece of cake.

Lin Hao already knew all the places on the dam where trees could grow, which is why he was so reckless today.

The two showered together, then packed their things. Lin Hao then redid Tang Qi's makeup, transforming her into Tang Qi's likeness. Actually, if a photo were taken and compared, it would be easy to tell they were the same person, or even twins.

After all, Lin Hao only helped her change her image, and with the addition of makeup modifications, she looked like a completely different person.

"How much longer do I have to wait before I can show my true self again?" Tang Qi said somewhat sullenly.

The main reason is that I need to change my appearance every day and put on light makeup so that I won't be recognized by acquaintances.

As for which acquaintance it is, well...!

Tang Qi had previously thought that even if she changed her makeup, Feng Cheng should be able to recognize her easily. After all, she had seen Lin Hao's makeup before, and if she looked closely, she would definitely be able to recognize him.

However, thinking of what Lin Hao said, since Feng Cheng went to the Town Wind Divine Tree to pay homage to him, he had completely forgotten her and started a new life.

"Don't worry, it won't be long, at most three to five months. As long as you don't mention you in front of Feng Cheng, he'll never guess that Tang Qi is Tang Qi!"

"Then you won't need to put on makeup and change your image!" Lin Hao said with a smile.

In fact, Lin Hao had already altered the memories of everyone who knew Tang Qi, changing Tang Qi's image to that of a complete stranger.

So even if Tang Qi doesn't wear makeup, she doesn't need to worry about being recognized. The reason she wears makeup is just to comfort herself, so that she has a seemingly reasonable excuse.

The two chatted as they returned to the camp, and the expedition ultimately went without any major mishaps.

Lin Hao recalled that in one of the episodes, when they went to investigate suitable afforestation land, Wu Yansheng and Qin Xuemei took a detour and ended up encountering a pack of wolves.

Later, it was Feng Cheng who remembered to go to the rescue, but he was framed by Wu Yansheng and fled. The key point is that everyone else believed him.

Not only that, during this inspection, Da Kui also brought Meng Yue back on his back, and they developed feelings for each other. After Meng Yue's boyfriend sent her a breakup letter, he successfully turned his backup plan into the official one.

But it's a TV series, so this kind of portrayal is normal; otherwise, they wouldn't be making movies.

This time, Lin Hao directly separated the two pairs. He used his mental marker to check and found that no one was causing trouble and they were already close to the camp.

Sure enough, the other two groups arrived shortly after the two of them, but they were all too exhausted to speak.

"It seems everyone is exhausted, so let's postpone the debriefing meeting for today and report on today's inspection tomorrow morning!"

"Let's eat first!" Lin Hao said to everyone with a smile.

Lin Hao didn't make things difficult for them. It was good that they were able to return to the camp smoothly. There was no need to delay the meeting until tomorrow.

"Long live the team leader!" Upon hearing this, everyone cheered immediately.

After dinner, no one was in the mood for playing around anymore; all they wanted to do was lie in bed and get some rest.

You know, they walked dozens of miles today, and their legs are almost thin from walking.

Back in his dormitory, Wu Yansheng saw Qin Xuemei dragging her tired body to chat with Lin Hao, and he felt terrible. He resented Lin Hao even more.

But Wu Yansheng understood that in terms of physical strength, he couldn't compare to Lin Hao; in terms of interpersonal relationships, he couldn't compare to the other party; and in terms of position, he was also superior. Although they were college students and were prospective cadres, the other party was already a cadre.

Therefore, he thought he should find more people to help him. You know, when he first arrived in Saihanba, several boys were fooled by him and started hanging around him.

As a result, not long after arriving at Bashang, everyone developed their own selfish thoughts and began to distance themselves from him.

So Wu Yansheng looked at the dejected Wu Yansheng, knowing that the other was still heartbroken over Ji Xiurong, and then, a thought struck him and he said:
"Da Kui, don't be sad. We can't hang ourselves on a crooked tree. After we plant the tree, come back to Kyoto with me. I'll introduce you to some beautiful girls in Kyoto then."

"Da Kui, you have no idea, those girls from Kyoto are incredibly beautiful. Although it's hard to find someone like Xue Mei, someone like Meng Yue is everywhere."

Wu Yansheng started to entice Da Kui, painting a vivid picture of a beautiful woman from the capital, introducing her to the girls of Kyoto.

"Really? You're not kidding me." Da Kui perked up instantly.

Actually, he wasn't as concerned about Ji Xiurong as he seemed, and therefore wasn't that heartbroken.

Especially after seeing glimpses of the future and realizing that Ji Xiurong truly didn't like him, he cared even less. The reason he seemed unable to let go was mainly because he couldn't overcome his inner turmoil.

"How could I lie to you? Besides, you'll be coming to Kyoto with me anyway. Even if I don't introduce you to someone, with Da Kui's skills, you're sure you'll find a wife."

"Look at Ji Xiurong, she's not good-looking at all, and her face is just average. Compared to Mengyue and Qin Xuemei, she's like rough tree bark!"

"Think about it, if you two get married, you'll be hugging a big piece of wood every day. Is that fun?"

Wu Yansheng patiently and skillfully guided Da Kui, and sure enough, Da Kui soon began to visualize the scene.

"Hey, you're absolutely right. But Wu Yansheng, you can't fool me, or I'll smash you into the mud!"

"Don't worry, no problem. But what about our toilet?"

"It's nothing, a piece of cake. Leave it to me. But if you dare to lie to me, I'll never forgive you."

When Da Kui heard that Wu Yansheng had only made such a small request, he immediately patted his chest and agreed to Wu Yansheng's request.

"Okay, good brother!" Wu Yansheng then continued to deceive him:
“Da Kui, look at me. You have a lot of strength, while I have education. We are a perfect match, one a scholar and the other a warrior!”

"As long as we wait for the saplings to arrive and plant them successfully, we can take down Lin Hao with a combination of skill and strategy. Then we can become the team leaders ourselves, saving him from bossing us around all day!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Yansheng hesitated for a moment. After what happened yesterday, he actually admired Lin Hao quite a bit and didn't want to become enemies with him.

He didn't want to refuse Wu Yansheng's kindness, but after thinking about it, Da Kui shook his head and advised against it:
"Maybe we should just give up. Let alone whether we can beat Team Leader Lin, even the two of us combined couldn't beat him!"

"You saw it yesterday, he lifted me up like I was a toy!"

"Besides, even if we manage to plant a living tree, we wouldn't need to knock it down, would we?"

Da Kui had no confidence in Wu Yansheng's plan at all. Just thinking about Lin Hao's abilities gave Da Kui a psychological trauma.

"Hey, do we necessarily have to solve this with force? Just doing nothing is reckless; we should definitely use strategy!"
