Now that you're a top star, can't you enjoy life a little?
Chapter 11: Dignity
"Sir, could you please let go of my hand?"
Chen Yi wanted to remain silent and defiant, but his hands couldn't take it.
Don't let his age fool you, this old man has a surprisingly strong grip.
Li Fugui, the village chief of Caifeng Village, suddenly realized what was happening and quickly let go of Chen Yi's hand, apologizing to Chen Yi in broken Mandarin.
Chen waved his hand and walked away.
He dared not stay where he was and meet the eyes of Village Chief Fugui.
Village Chief Fugui wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, forced a smile onto his deeply wrinkled, dark face, and said to Director Yang Quan in a slightly ingratiating tone:
"This teacher has no problem with playing drums and gongs, setting off firecrackers, and having students line up, but dragon and lion dances..."
Everyone has a heart, feelings, and dignity.
The big shot in sunglasses kept calling people "poor people" and "the lower class," which made him feel sad and angry. He really wanted to kick the man over, sit on him, and slap him across the face.
But he couldn't do that, because that person was right about one thing: their Caifeng Village really needed this opportunity for exposure.
This is a chance to change the children's destiny!
He's an old man nearing the end of his life; a little contempt is nothing to him. He can just grit his teeth and swallow his grievances.
But the children in the village are different; they still have a future.
Their lives shouldn't be like his, trapped in the mountains for the rest of their lives, or like their parents, spending their lives as waiters or lowly laborers.
Village Chief Fugui is not an actor, nor does he know how to manage his expressions; all his thoughts are written on his face, and his back seems to be even more hunched.
Chen Yi could run, but Director Yang Quan couldn't escape. Faced with such a gaze, he dared not meet it, and could only look away, whispering:
"Then let's call everyone over. There's no need for the dragon and lion dance. If he asks, I'll just say that our village doesn't have that custom."
Village Chief Fugui responded and left.
About two hours later, Village Chief Fugui arrived with a group of people, accompanied by music and fanfare.
Students were also called out of the school to line up and welcome the VIPs from the big city.
Unlike the feigned happiness on the adults' faces, many students were genuinely happy; compared to the boring classes, this was so much more interesting.
Most importantly, when they heard that they could even appear on television, they became even more enthusiastic and even started scrambling to get a spot to greet the guests.
Seeing the lively atmosphere in front of him, Director Wang was very satisfied. He walked up to Village Chief Fugui, shook his hand, and generously declared: On behalf of myself, I will donate 100,000 yuan to Caifeng Village!
As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous cheers erupted from all around.
The group of followers who were trailing behind him, upon hearing about Director Wang's act of kindness, immediately showered him with compliments.
"As expected of Director Wang, he truly has a grand vision!"
"Director Wang is truly a role model for us young people!"
"I'll also donate five thousand, following in Director Wang's footsteps!"
Village Chief Fugui shook Director Wang's hand, his face full of gratitude.
The photographers behind them quickly captured this touching scene of celebrities mingling with villagers in impoverished mountain areas.
After the welcoming ceremony, the film crew, which had been delayed for a long time, was finally able to enter the village.
Just as it was mealtime, Village Chief Fugui invited the celebrities to his home for dinner.
To welcome the celebrities, Village Chief Fugui went all out today, purchasing a large quantity of ingredients and even hiring a chef from town who specializes in preparing elaborate rural banquets.
"Senior Yu Huai, this is so delicious!"
Bai Zhi was also very angry about what Director Wang had done, but after the dishes were served, she put all of that out of her mind.
An open-air banquet may not be very dignified, but the food tastes good and hygiene is absolutely guaranteed.
Looking at Xiaobai's mouth, which was stuffed full, Yu Huai smiled and said, "Then you should eat more."
"Why aren't you eating?" Bai Zhi asked, puzzled.
I'm not hungry.
"Why aren't you hungry?"
Yu Huai was speechless. "Do you have a million whys? You eat first, I'm going to the restroom."
Bai Zhi grabbed his hand immediately. "You're not going to run away, are you?"
"There are mountains everywhere, where can I run to?"
"Oh, then hurry back. I can't eat without you."
Yu Huai patted her head. "Okay."
Not far away.
Seeing the two's intimate actions without any attempt to conceal their relationship, Feng Fu hesitated for a long time but ultimately decided not to report it.
As Yu Huai stepped out of the village chief's house, he took a deep breath, and the fresh air quickly filled his lungs.
Judging from the village chief's house, this is definitely not a wealthy family, or rather, there is no such family in the entire Caifeng Village.
Providing meals for so many people today, including vegetables and meat, must be quite an expense.
The village chief spent so much money, hoping to use the exposure from this program to change the fate of Caifeng Village.
But was Director Wang genuinely there to help this village?
Looking at the distant mountains, Yu Huai tried to adjust his mood, but found that he always felt a tightness in his chest, neither able to calm down nor calm down.
He suddenly felt a pang of envy for Bai Zhi.
Putting everything else aside, being a fool must be quite enjoyable, right?
"Knock knock knock~"
He heard hurried footsteps behind him and thought it was Xiaobai coming to find him, but when he turned around, he found that it was not Xiaobai.
Dressed in her finest attire, Eileen came to the door with a bottle of water. Whether she didn't notice Yu Huai or noticed him but didn't care, she vomited against the wall.
Just now at the dinner table, without noticing, she took a bite of the food that the old farmer had picked up.
The thought of eating food contaminated with the other person's saliva made her wish she could go to the hospital to have her stomach pumped.
She tried desperately to vomit until she couldn't vomit anything anymore, then rinsed her mouth with the last drop of water from the bottle.
"puff!"
After spitting out the water, Eileen straightened up, leaning against the wall, and was then startled.
It was then that she noticed there was another person standing there.
"What are you looking at!" Eileen said fiercely. "Don't you dare tell anyone what you just saw, understand?"
As a "goddess" in the industry, such shameful things must never be known to outsiders.
Most importantly, we can't let Director Wang inside know, because at the dinner table just now, Director Wang gave the food on the table extremely high praise, saying that this is what food with a down-to-earth feel is all about.
She vehemently criticized what Director Wang highly praised; what kind of behavior is this, questioning Director Wang's taste?
Yu Huai had initially thought that her appearance was quite in line with his aesthetic standards, but after seeing how desperately she was trying to clear her throat and the ferocious look on her face now, his initial aura vanished instantly.
Seeing his expression of being "scared" by her, Eileen felt relieved. She took out a small mirror from her pocket, realized that she wasn't in a good state, and called her assistant over.
After a quick touch-up, a smile returned to her face, and she gracefully returned to the courtyard to continue having dinner with Director Wang.
But when she returned, she found that the seat next to Director Wang had been taken by another artist.
