Wandering the world of film and television begins with the golden years

For Zhou Rong now. |!¤*'~``~'*¤!| 6❾𝔰ħ𝓾x.𝕔Ⓞⓜ |!¤*'~``~'*¤!|

She felt more relaxed than ever before.

The matter of Zhou Bingkun's work weighed heavily on her mind like a large stone. This was something that no one in this era could avoid.

Their parents value their jobs highly, they themselves care about them a lot, and even their future generations will face the same challenges.

A job is like the hope of the whole family.

In fact, it's not just Zhou Rong; most people share the same thought: even if they earn less, as long as they have a stable job, they won't have to worry about the rest of their lives.

Unlike modern society, where many young people change jobs in less than a year.

Li Haoyu also knew that this was not Zhou Rong's fault, nor was it even Zhou Rong's parents' fault.

Because this is the limitation of the times.

However, when the wave of layoffs and corporate reforms comes later, it is unknown how many people will have their stable lives changed as a result. Some people will take this opportunity to go into business and become unstoppable from then on.

But many more people were crushed by a single speck of dust in this era.

Li Haoyu continued to comfort her along the way.

"So don't overthink it. Your brother is very talented; it's just that you've never given him a chance. I believe he will surprise you in the future."

This is also what Li Haoyu really thinks.

Li Haoyu always thought Zhou Bingkun was right.

He is actually a very shrewd businessman.

This can be seen from one of his past actions. After the restaurant business stabilized, Zhou Bingkun suggested to the publishing house leadership that they open an educational bookstore.

He even used himself as an example.

She raised her first child haphazardly, but never gave up on how to make it better.

When it came to the second child, people paid even more attention to how to feed the child so that they would get enough nutrition, grow taller, and do well in their studies, which shows that this educational need has always existed.

Zhou Bingkun even proposed a specific business plan. For example, in addition to selling education-related books, they could also buy some audio-visual products to subsidize the publishing house's employees.

This plan is actually quite feasible.

Li Haoyu himself has also worked in the education industry.

Before the double reduction policy, the educational supplement industry had basically never lost money.

Li Haoyu, the owner of a training company, made his fortune selling teaching materials. He not only bought a villa in the incredibly expensive capital city, but also sent his son to study abroad.

Especially considering that there was no competition between computers and mobile phones in this era.

This industry is basically a place where you can make money without lifting a finger.

Li Haoyu even felt that if Zhou Bingkun hadn't unexpectedly gone to prison, he would have continued doing things his own way. Even if he had become a big boss, it wouldn't have been surprising.

"Besides, even if he really can't do it, we still have my clever brother-in-law." Li Haoyu seized the opportunity to press his advantage.

This is the time to show off your boyfriend charm, so of course you should seize every opportunity to demonstrate it.

Now it was Zhou Rong who felt a little embarrassed. ♔💋 ➅9𝐒ĤǗ𝐱.ᑕ𝐨м 💘💥

She said somewhat shyly, "This matter really needs your help. It really depends on you. Besides, you're not only talented but also a novelist."

"Your vision and overall perspective are truly exceptional. I'm honestly not confident that I could rely on him alone..."

Li Haoyu said, "You're wrong about this. How could you forget the most important thing?"

"What's wrong?"

Zhou Rong asked with a puzzled look.

She thought she had really overlooked something important.

"Of course it's because I'm also incredibly handsome. How could you forget that's your boyfriend's most obvious advantage?"

Zhou Rong was taken aback when she heard this.

She was both amused and exasperated.

However, to save Li Haoyu's face.

Zhou Rong nodded.

Li Haoyu saw Zhou Rong's appearance.

He deliberately sighed, "I didn't expect that I would have to praise myself for something like this. It seems that my usual work is not up to par, so I cannot gain Miss Zhou Rong's approval."

"Eh... Miss Zhou Rong?"

"What's wrong? Are you not used to me calling you that so formally? Do you feel happier if I'm being a little more flirtatious?" Li Haoyu switched to a joking tone.

Zhou Rong paused for a moment.

She smiled and tapped Li Haoyu on the back.

"Ride your bike properly and stop saying these unnecessary things."

However, she immediately added another sentence.

"Zhou Rong is too formal. Just call me Rongrong from now on."

Zhou Rong was quite well-behaved this time.

Li Haoyu nodded, "Sure, I'll definitely grant you such a small request."

Zhou Rong looked at Li Haoyu with earnest eyes.

This puzzled Li Haoyu.

What's wrong with Zhou Rong?

"I have something I want to tell you," Zhou Rong said earnestly.

Li Haoyu also stopped using the 28-inch lever.

He wanted to listen carefully to what Zhou Rong had to say.

"Thank you so much, you really helped me a lot this time. Although it may not seem like much to you, it's very important to me."

Li Haoyu looked smug.

He waved to Zhou Rong like an old man.

"Then what are you waiting for? Come over here and give me a shoulder massage."

This made Zhou Rong unable to express her gratitude.

She couldn't help but stare at Li Haoyu and ask, "What were you just saying?"

"Don't I understand?"

"I mean, could you give me a shoulder massage to relax me?"

Zhou Rong: ...

Li Haoyu has already taken Zhou Rong to her doorstep.

Li Haoyu didn't want to just leave like that. ♝🐜 👌🎈

Ta has a lot to do next.

Besides helping Zhou Bingkun with some arrangements, he also needs to plan his next novel and even consider Zheng Juan's situation, so it will be difficult for him to contact Zhou Rong for at least a while.

This time, Li Haoyu plans to spend more time with Zhou Rong.

Of course, if possible, Li Haoyu even wanted to go further.

He only got a glimpse of it; that wasn't enough to satisfy his thirst!

Li Haoyu intends to restore his husbandly authority.

Zhou Rong didn't answer and suddenly jumped out of the car.

Even Li Haoyu hadn't expected her reaction.

Zhou Rong ran away in an instant.

Just then, her shouts came from afar.

"Hurry up and park your car, come over here for a second."

"What's wrong?"

Li Haoyu was a little puzzled.

What is Zhou Rong up to?

Zhou Rong said, "It's nothing, I just wanted to ask you to come over for a bit."

Li Haoyu nodded silently.

He found a rock by the roadside and sat down.

Zhou Rong didn't say anything either.

But after a while...

Li Haoyu remained silent.

At this moment, Zhou Rong couldn't help but say, "Aren't you going to ask me why we're wasting our time here?"

Li Haoyu said, "Why should I ask you that? I'll just go with you whatever you want to do."

Zhou Rong said, "Don't you think this is a waste of time?"

Li Haoyu said casually.

"Wasting time is inherently romantic, and wasting time with a beautiful girl like you is even more meaningful, which is indeed the case."

Zhou Rong couldn't help but laugh when she heard that.

She truly hadn't expected Li Haoyu to say those words.

To be honest, she was genuinely a little touched after Li Haoyu said that.

As a result, Zhou Rong actually walked behind him and put her hand on Li Haoyu's neck.

Zhou Rong's lips curled slightly, and she stared at Li Haoyu for a long time.

Li Haoyu was starting to back down.

This position is a bit dangerous. Could it be that Zhou Rong is really angry and wants to strangle herself?

"Then let me give you a massage. I think my skills are pretty good."

"Actually, I was just saying. If you're tired, just go home and rest."

"Alright, I said I'd press it, so I will. You were much more arrogant just now."

Li Haoyu thought for a moment, straightened his back, and said, "Then you hold the weight, I'll put in the effort."

Zhou Rong was clearly serious. "Then I'll really use my strength. If you can't take it, just tell me."

"Don't worry about that, I can handle it."

Zhou Rong actually started massaging Li Haoyu.

Although Zhou Rong's technique was still a bit clumsy, she was definitely very attentive. Li Haoyu felt a tingling, numb sensation in his shoulders, which was indeed very comfortable.

She pressed it for half an hour.

Li Haoyu glanced at Zhou Rong's forehead.

Her face was covered in sweat, and Li Haoyu felt a little sorry for Zhou Rong.

Because massage is indeed physically demanding, otherwise why would professional massage therapists be mostly middle-aged women with broad shoulders and thick waists?

Of course, an improper massage is a different matter altogether.

Li Haoyu was about to reach out and pull Zhou Rong into his arms.

He wanted to reward her properly.

However, Zhou Rong blocked it with her hand.

Li Haoyu said with some surprise.

"How come you've become addicted to massages?"

Zhou Rong actually hummed in agreement.

This was completely unexpected by Li Haoyu.

"Why are you suddenly like this?" Li Haoyu asked curiously.

Zhou Rong tilted her head and thought for a moment.

"I guess I wanted to do something for you, but I don't have any other strengths, so I can only do something as simple as massage."

"This isn't like the Zhou Rong I know. You seem to have lost all your confidence."

Li Haoyu was somewhat confused.

"Don't you understand?" Zhou Rong asked.

"That's true to some extent."

Li Haoyu nodded honestly.

Anyway, ever since he met Zhou Rong, she has always been the kind of girl who shines brightly. Logically speaking, she should have the mentality of being the most important person in the world. How come Zhou Rong is so timid and lacks confidence now?

"Actually, I used to be quite confident, even to the point of being a bit arrogant."

"Once, I deliberately kept all my grades at just passing, which shocked and disbelieved everyone around me who knew me."

Zhou Rong smiled, propping herself up on her hands, and turned to look at Li Haoyu.

"Do you want to know what I was thinking at the time?"

Li Haoyu said with anticipation, "Of course I want to know about something this interesting."

She was most interested in these unconventional stories.

Especially Zhou Rong's obedient girl appearance.

This actually makes the contrast with Li Haoyu even stronger.

He couldn't wait to know how it would end.

Zhou Rong said to herself, "I've always had excellent grades since I was little. I've always gotten perfect scores on every exam since elementary school, and I've always gotten A's in all my other subjects as well."

"This made me extremely arrogant back then, and I didn't respect anyone. I even felt that teachers should give way to me."

Zhou Rong laughed self-deprecatingly, "I still remember my favorite saying back then: 'Give me liberty, or give me death.'"

"At that time, my homeroom teacher thought I was too arrogant, so he called my mother to the school as well, but it didn't do any good."

"My thinking at the time was very simple: no one could force me to do what I didn't want to do. As a result, my mother was so angry that she wanted to hit me."

"But I wasn't scared at all back then."

"He even said something outrageous like, 'If you hit me, I'll kill myself.' Objectively speaking, wasn't I outrageous back then?"

Zhou Rong suddenly asked Li Haoyu.

"It's not just outrageous, it's downright deserves a beating."

Li Haoyu said, "If I were there, I definitely wouldn't tolerate your bad behavior. I would have given you a good beating on the butt. If you're not happy about it, call your classmates to come and watch, and see if you dare to back down."

"How could you be so cruel? But back then... it seems like that was indeed the right thing to do."

Zhou Rong chuckled softly, "Actually, I was just too arrogant back then. The teacher originally just wanted to recommend me for university, but I insisted on not doing so."

"My thoughts at the time were: you are you, and I am me. Just because you feel good doesn't mean I feel good too. I didn't want to be a class leader, nor did I want to join the Youth League."

"I'm already fed up with being a good student."

Zhou Rong smiled. "But I didn't use that guaranteed admission spot. When I got into high school, it was a level above my brother's."

Li Haoyu slapped his thigh. "After all this time, I still fell for it. In the end, I realized you were just finding ways to praise yourself."

Li Haoyu took Zhou Rong's hand and placed it on her shoulder.

"Looks like I can't let you off so easily. You'll have to keep massaging me properly. You can't stop until your fingers cramp up."

Zhou Rong hummed in agreement.

She laughed and said, "It doesn't matter at all. Do you know why I did that in the first place?"

"You want to prove that you can do it without relying on anyone..."

Li Haoyu speculated, "Is it because you want others to know about your real strength?"

"No, that's not it."

Zhou Rong shook her head and said, "I want to fight."

"Resistance?"

Li Haoyu looked puzzled.

"That's right."

Zhou Rong stated firmly, "I want to pursue true equality because I've realized that I've never actually had any real rights."

"My own room, clothes, toys, pocket money—I can't really control any of it."

"I thought I was cool back then, and that only by fighting back could I gain true freedom."

A mocking smile appeared on Zhou Rong's face.

"But today I realized how ridiculous I was. Although I still stubbornly insisted that men and women are equal in this day and age, and that I am older than Bingkun and should take on this responsibility."

"But... when the time came, I realized I wasn't that brave. I panicked and was filled with fear of the unpredictable future."

Zhou Rong tilted her head back. "Do you still like this timid and ugly me now?"

Li Haoyu didn't say anything.

He simply pulled Zhou Rong into his arms. "Life offers many paths; sometimes we can choose, sometimes we can't."

"Everyone has the urge to run away when faced with a difficult road. There's nothing shameful about that. Besides, you're facing it now."

"You've already shown enough courage."
