Top Chinese entertainment stars start with lucky koi fish

"Come out for a moment, I need to tell you something."

Jiang Yuan called Yang Chaoyue away and didn't look at Wang Yue again.

After the two of them left the house.

Wang Yue stared at Jiang Yuan's retreating figure with a troubled mind, then glared at Yang Chaoyue with jealousy.

"Take care, Director."

Sister Fang saw her to the door, then turned back and sighed, "Yang Chaoyue is really lucky. I think the director has a crush on her."

This remark sparked a discussion among the other female workers in the dormitory.

"Sister Fang, that's impossible. Everyone's saying the director has a powerful background and is just here for an experience. Could he really be interested in Yang Chaoyue?"

"Chaoyue is pretty, it's not surprising that the director took a liking to her."

"Isn't it said that rich people value intelligence more than looks? Rich people look for women who are both smart and beautiful, hoping to improve their genes."

"I've heard that too. Yang Chao dropped out of junior high school and has a lower level of education than me. I at least have a junior high school diploma."

The female workers made no attempt to conceal Yang Chaoyue's underage status.

Or perhaps in their view, sixteen years old is already quite old.

It's not uncommon for factory girls to drop out of school at fifteen or sixteen, get pregnant, and then get married and have children.

You need to tell them that they cannot get a marriage certificate if they are under the legal age.

They will tell you that having a wedding banquet is considered marriage, so there's no need to get a certificate.

Wang Yue was annoyed by what she heard and said coldly:

"The director is so good-looking, tall and handsome. He's obviously not a child that an ordinary family could raise. Why would he choose Yang Chaoyue when he could find any pretty girl?"

"Sister Fang, you're overthinking it. The director is just helping Yang Chaoyue out because she's the youngest in our workshop."

"That's possible," Sister Fang nodded.

The others also fell silent.

If we're talking about who in this dorm is the most clueless, the one who's like a toad trying to eat swan meat, it's definitely Wang Yue.

Others could only fantasize about Jiang Yuan, and dared not approach her.

Wang Yue was shameless and always tried to curry favor with him.

Most importantly, knowing that Jiang Yuan was taking care of Yang Chaoyue, she also pretended to be concerned and caring in the workshop, playing the role of a caring older sister.

Back in the dormitory, things changed. Knowing that Yang Chaoyue wouldn't tell on Jiang Yuan and not wanting to cause trouble for Jiang Yuan, he bullied her without restraint.

Although everyone had more or less asked Yang Chaoyue to run errands, clean up, and take out the trash.

But they weren't as shameless as Wang Yue.

They act one way in public and another way in private.

These female workers, who considered themselves to be consistent inside and out, suddenly felt their own noble character when they were around Wang Yue!

Sometimes people are just strange; they even distinguish between right and wrong when doing bad things.

If their guilt is less than that of others, they feel relieved, even superior...

Seeing that no one was speaking, Wang Yue felt an inability to calm her frustration.

Without thinking, he grabbed the water glass from the table and, without even looking at it, poured it into his mouth.

"what!"

Wang Yue spat out water mixed with a little blood from her mouth and howled in pain.

It turns out that after the protesters smashed the mirror, some of the broken pieces fell into the water glass.

Wang Yue didn't notice and when she drank, her mouth was cut by a shard of glass.

They've only gotten themselves into trouble, and now they're reaping what they sowed.

Not only her, but several other female workers in the dormitory who had bullied Yang Chaoyue also covered their faces in anguish:

"Wang Yue, what are you doing? You vomited something and it scratched my face!"

It turned out that these female workers had been sprayed with water containing fragments by Wang Yue.

He took the ultimate attack head-on and got hit by the area-of-effect (AOE) damage.

Although not as badly injured as Wang Yue, she still had some scratches on her face.

Only the female worker who had complimented Yang Chaoyue's looks, had only been there a short time, and hadn't forced Yang Chaoyue to help her clean, happened to be sitting on the bed charging her phone and thus escaped unscathed.

The female worker's name was Yu Li. She saw the people in the dormitory groaning in pain.

The phrase "karma is inescapable" and "retribution is inevitable" inexplicably popped into my mind.

Is God really watching everyone's actions?

Yu Li shivered and secretly resolved never to bully anyone again.

Whether God is watching over others or not, Jiang Yuan doesn't know.

But the world and fate are certainly watching him.

As Jiang Yuan led Yang Chaoyue downstairs, she touched the jade pendant, requesting a small punishment for those who bullied the koi-shaped girl.

"Brother, what are you doing?" Yang Chaoyue asked curiously.

"You don't want me to hit her."

Jiang Yuan shrugged. "Then I can only pray to God to punish those who bullied our Chaoyue."

"Brother, you're so kind," Chaoyue said sweetly.

Even though it might sound like a lie to outsiders, she was absolutely certain that what her brother said was true.

As for holding Jiang Yuan's hand earlier, Chao Yue also offered an explanation:

"Wouldn't hitting her make my brother's hands dirty? We're leaving tomorrow and won't see each other again, it's not worth it."

Actually, Yang Chaoyue felt that her brother had slapped Wang Yue in the face.

Perhaps to Wang Yue, this would be a reward for intimate contact...

We mustn't reward her!

Once we got downstairs, we took a walk along the factory walkway.

Chaoyue walked to the innermost part of the room and secretly looked at her brother's profile.

The light shone on his face, making his handsome and elegant features shine like a pearl.

Jiang Yuan took a breath of fresh air and said:

"Chaoyue, why don't you stay at a hotel tonight and not go back? We can finish the resignation procedures tomorrow, and then I'll go back with you to pack."

"No need, brother."

Yang Chaoyue shook her head, "This might be the last time I sleep in this dormitory, and I'm quite reluctant to leave."

"But what if you get bullied again?" Jiang Yuan looked at her.

"Then I'll bring up you, brother."

Chao Yue strode forward, turned to face Jiang Yuan, and walked backward with her hands behind her back.

"I'll scare them by saying I'll tell on them and get my brother to make things difficult for them!"

"Then why didn't you tell on me before?"

Jiang Yuan said irritably, "What a pushover, not even knowing how to fight back when being bullied."

"I rebelled today!"

Chaoyue puffed out her cheeks, looking like a cute pufferfish, "She insulted me, and I insulted her back! Brother, you should praise me!"

"One thing at a time, you were going to criticize me first without telling me before."

Jiang Yuan poked her face with her hand, and the cute pufferfish immediately deflated and flattened itself.

Jiang Yuan smiled, ruffled her hair, and then changed the subject: "But you've made progress today, you know how to resist."

"Right? I was really awesome today."

After being praised, the dejected Chaoyue suddenly became energetic again and even shared her thoughts.

"When I was being scolded, I remembered what my brother said, and what Xiaotian did at school."

I thought, "Xiaotian is so brave, I, as her friend, can't be too far behind. I need to muster up the courage to fight back!"

"So it's because of Xiaotian's example. You'll have to treat her to a meal next time you see her," Jiang Yuan said with a smile.

"Of course, no problem."

Chaoyue skipped along, correcting her, "But it's not just Xiaotian, I've remembered everything you said, including Brother Tong and Sister Meng, I'll invite you all!"

"But they're not here, so let's treat my brother to something to eat first."

Chaoyue took Jiang Yuan to the supermarket.

Jiang Yuan followed behind, only to realize that she hadn't noticed when...

The girl's shoulder-length short hair was tied into two braids.

Chaoyue noticed his gaze and shook her braid:

"Brother, isn't it pretty? Xiaotian tied it up for me in the car, just like hers."

"Beautiful."

Chaoyue's mood became even more beautiful after receiving the praise.

After finishing my shopping, on the way back, I remembered my important question: "Brother, what were you going to tell me?"

While eating spicy snacks, Jiang Yuan slapped her thigh: "I almost forgot, we still have to go to the set of 'The Journey of Flower' tomorrow to take costume photos. The production team there wants to post them online for fans to see and for promotion."

Upon hearing this, Chaoyue, who had originally intended to take some spicy strips from her brother, withdrew her hand.

"What's wrong? Didn't you want to eat it?"

Jiang Yuan took out one and handed it to her.

Chao Yue gave an embarrassed smile and shook her head vigorously:

"No, if we have to take photos tomorrow, I can't eat spicy snacks. If I get water retention and my skin gets swollen, I'll be doomed."

"Is it really that exaggerated?" Jiang Yuan paused, puzzled.

Does eating spicy snacks really cause water retention and swelling?

"Oh dear, even a little swelling is still swelling. The risk of just one spicy snack is too great. A prudent girl like me can't gamble!"

Chaoyue pushed Jiang Yuan forward.

Is there a risk worth the price of a spicy snack?

Jiang Yuan was amused by her; she was adorable.

Once we got back to the dormitory building...

Yang Chaoyue and Jiang Yuan parted ways and returned to their dormitory.

Then I saw Wang Yue and the others wiping their wounds with cotton swabs.

He groaned in pain as he wiped himself.

Yang Chaoyue was taken aback, but then she remembered what Jiang Yuan had said and became even more delighted.

When Wang Yue and the others saw Yang Chaoyue return, they remembered Jiang Yuan's cold stare and dared not provoke her any further.

Yang Chaoyue was happy to have some free time, so she washed up and started tidying up her clothes.

Seeing this, Wang Yue and Sister Fang, mindful of the conflict that had just occurred, didn't dare to ask any further questions.

Early the next morning.

Yang Chaoyue was already up at seven o'clock in the morning.

Garment factories typically operate on a two-shift system.

One shift is from 8 am to 8 pm, and another is from 8 pm to 8 am.

Before May Day, Yang Chaoyue and Jiang Yuan worked the 8 PM to 8 AM night shift.

This month, I switched to a day shift from 8 am to 8 pm.

Although she had decided to quit, Chaoyue still got up as usual.

After washing up, I quickly went downstairs to the factory canteen.

There weren't many people there yet, because they didn't clock in until 8 o'clock.

Everyone arrives right on time; the cafeteria doesn't get crowded until 7:30.

Chaoyue likes to arrive early so she doesn't have to wait in line.

"Auntie, give me two meat buns, one fried dough stick, two eggs, and two cups of soy milk."

As she did on countless other day shift mornings, Yang Chaoyue arrived at the breakfast counter.

The girl was lost in thought as she watched the breakfast vendor pack up her food.

"This factory life, which has lasted for six months, seems to be really coming to an end."

Yang Chaoyue has always regretted not being able to experience what it felt like to graduate from middle school.

She always thought about it.

What will the weather be like that day? Will she wear her school uniform or a specially bought outfit?

Will I be happy? Or regretful? Or at peace? Or confused?

Will she leave with a smile, or will she bid farewell to the school with tears in her eyes?

It still feels the same as the day she dropped out of school.

The sky was bright and beautiful, and she was beautiful too; neither of them let the other down.

But it was just an ordinary, unremarkable day.

She silently took her luggage, left the school without saying goodbye, and walked out calmly without looking back.

A person puts a period to one stage of their life and begins the next.

In short, she thought about it a lot.

Facing farewell, facing the next stage of life.

I've thought about feeling excited, reluctant to part, regretful, and even a little melancholy.

My feelings are definitely indescribably complicated, and I'm sure there's uncertainty about the future.

But I've never felt this way before.

No regrets, no reluctance, no melancholy.

Her heart was like the rising sun.

Bright and cheerful, full of hope.

She was no longer confused.

Because this time, she was no longer alone.

Someone joined her in bringing the previous stage of her life to a close.

That person will also take her along, to write the prologue to the next stage of her life.

"Eight pieces in total."

The breakfast lady handed over breakfast, waking Yang Chaoyue up.

"Thanks."

Yang Chaoyue quickly took out her meal card to pay.

Then she pursed her lips and, as if possessed, said to her aunt:

"Auntie, I'm not doing this today. I'm going to do something else with my favorite person."

The aunt was taken aback, staring at the beautiful girl she had seen many times before.

He then smiled and said, "Congratulations! You two will definitely be happy."

"Thank you, Auntie. I wish you good health and happiness forever."

Yang Chaoyue bowed, said goodbye, and turned to leave.

We arrived at the building where we were staying.

As usual, she wanted to wait for Jiang Yuan to come downstairs so they could have breakfast together while walking.

She quickly discovered the problem.

"I hope my brother isn't coming down to work today."

Yang Chaoyue felt that she was stupid.

Just as she was wondering what to do, she saw a figure coming downstairs towards her.

"I knew you would go buy breakfast and wait for me."

Jiang Yuan tapped Chaoyue's forehead. "Why don't you sleep in?"

Jiang Yuan has been under supervision since she came to the factory and met the young girl.

So when I woke up in the morning, I felt that Chaoyue would probably buy him breakfast again as usual, and then I would wait for him downstairs.

As expected, it turned out that way.

"Hehe, I was worried my brother was hungry. Even if you're not working, you should still eat well."

Yang Chaoyue presented Jiang Yuan with two steamed buns, half a fried dough stick, an egg, and a cup of soy milk as if they were treasures.

"Then you should eat more too."

Jiang Yuan watched the little girl eat only half a fried dough stick and an egg, and said speechlessly.

"Girls need to maintain their figure," Chaoyue said coquettishly.

Jiang Yuan didn't force her, but instead asked, "Have you packed your things? Do you need my help?"

"I've packed my things, but my bed sheets are still on; I need to pack them up."

Chao Yue said, "No need for help, I can manage on my own."

"Just wrap those up in a sheet, we won't take them. If you can't take them, I'll come up and get them for you later, you can just throw them away."

Chaoyue nodded obediently: "Okay, brother."

Call me when you're ready.

Yang Chaoyue returned to her dormitory.

The female workers had already gotten up and were getting ready to go out.

After a night of calm, the atmosphere was no longer tense.

When Sister Fang saw Yang Chaoyue return, she asked curiously:

"Chaoyue, did something fall down?"

"Sister Fang, no."

Yang Chaoyue shook her head, and then, as her brother had instructed, she tucked all the bedding and sheets away.

The other people in the dormitory were stunned when they saw this.

Wang Yue couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?"

"I'm quitting today."

Yang Chaoyue explained that she did not choose to ignore people because of past grievances.

Upon hearing this, Wang Yue quickly asked, "Where are you going if you quit?"

You'll find out later.

Yang Chaoyue felt that her words were a bit too arrogant, so she changed her tune and said, "Well, I might not know. Anyway, I'm just going to do other things."

Although many of these people do not follow the agreed rules, when it is their turn to clean, they all leave it to her to clean and take out the trash.

But in the end, we traveled together.

Yang Chaoyue still spoke to the female workers in the dormitory who were much older than her:

"Thank you for taking care of me, sisters. I hope you all have a smooth journey ahead."

Fang Jie, Wang Yue, and several other female workers looked embarrassed upon hearing this.

"We're going to work, or we'll be late."

They chuckled and quickly left.

In the end, only the newcomer who hadn't been there long remained.

Yu Li, who wasn't affected by the broken glass last night, hesitated for a moment before stepping forward and saying:

"Chaoyue, you need to take good care of yourself too. I'm really sorry I didn't speak up for you before."

Yang Chaoyue shook her head: "Sister Yu, you've only been here for two months, how can I blame you?"

You never made me clean your house, and you even helped me take out the trash. I'm already very grateful.

Li arrived at the workshop.

Only then did I learn that Jiang Yuan hadn't come either.

"The team leader just got promoted to deputy workshop director and he's already quitting? I thought we were going to see our workshop produce a production manager who would oversee the whole factory."

"I knew Jiang Yuan was a second-generation rich kid, with a really deep background! He's only been here a little over a month and he's already a deputy director. He must be tired of it by now. But Jiang Yuan's button-stitching skills are really something else, fast and accurate. I admire how hard even second-generation rich kids work."

"The director is good at everything. I feel that his face is more than enough to be a star. There are no male stars as handsome as him."

"Haha, maybe we'll see the director on TV next time?"

Everyone in the workshop smiled, but no one took it seriously.

Only Wang Yue frowned, a bad feeling rising in her heart as she thought that Yang Chaoyue had also quit.

"No, Yang Chaoyue just happened to be there, or maybe Jiang Yuan even fired her."

Wang Yue comforted herself, "Yang Chaoyue is just trying to save face. What else can she do? She's so stupid, she can probably only go home and marry some ugly guy."

"She can't possibly become a celebrity too, can she?"

Wang Yue told herself a lame joke.
