After work in the evening, as Hao Wenjing just walked into the house, Zhuang Aijiu greeted her with a smile.
The forr said nothing and silently walked into the bathroom to wash her hands.
Zhuang Aijiu noticed that Hao Wenjing seed a bit unhappy, so she whispered.
"Dinner will be ready soon."
Usually, there were only three people at ho, so Zhuang Aijiu would typically eat with Hao Wenjing.
When the dishes were all served, Zhuang Aijiu just picked up her chopsticks when Hao Wenjing scolded sharply.
"Put the chopsticks down!"
A trace of embarrassnt flashed through the forr’s heart, and she asked subconsciously, "What’s wrong?"
Hao Wenjing said coldly, "Don’t co to my house anymore. Pack up your things and leave now!"
"Why? If I’ve done sothing wrong, I can change it."
"Then tell the truth, what did you actually use the money I lent you for?"
"I paid off my son’s high-interest loan, I explained this before."
"Nonsense! Lending your son money for gambling, what kind of mother are you?!"
Seeing Hao Wenjing’s furious expression, Zhuang Aijiu lowered her head and remained silent.
The forr continued to scold sharply, "I give you a year to pay back all the money you owe , or I’ll call the police and have your son arrested!"
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Aijiu suddenly raised her head, staring intently at Hao Wenjing.
The latter felt a chill in her heart, gritted her teeth, and continued.
"Why are you still staring at ? Get out of my house!"
"I can leave, but you have to settle my paycheck for this month first."
Hearing this, Hao Wenjing was so angry she laughed.
"You still dare talk to about a paycheck? Fine, I’ll give you the money, but you must pay back what you owe right now, including interest!"
Zhuang Aijiu said nothing more, just silently stood up.
After she packed her things, she left with her bag.
Even after this, Hao Wenjing was still not appeased.
Looking at the dishes Zhuang Aijiu had made, she angrily dumped the entire contents, plate and all, into the trash.
...
The "Majestic Song" talent show was incredibly popular, with many cities nationwide setting up regional competitions.
After half a month of selection, a total of sixty-four people made it to the final elimination stage.
Since Kong Shiyu had no performance background, she didn’t progress.
However, what surprised Chen Bin was that the flight attendant, Geng Like, was recognized by quite a few directors.
She successfully entered the next live elimination round.
However, Chen Bin had no intention of letting her make it to the end.
He went backstage and smiled at Geng Like.
"Not bad, it seems you do have so skills."
Geng Like was extrely shocked to see Chen Bin.
"You... why are you here?"
Chen Bin said nothing, just took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to her.
After reading the card’s content, Geng Like was even more dumbfounded.
"You’re actually the director of Yanxi TV Station?!"
In her view, station directors were usually old n.
Chen Bin couldn’t be more than thirty-five, how could he be the director of a provincial TV station?
"Yes, not only am I the director, but I also initiated this talent show. What do you think your final ranking will be?"
Upon hearing this, Geng Like knew she was done for.
She and Chen Bin had an old enmity, he would definitely not let her make it to the end.
Although feeling aggrieved, Geng Like still snorted coldly, feigning a disdainful expression.
"I know my strength well; if so villain wants to make trouble, there’s nothing I can do."
With that, she turned arrogantly and left.
However, as she turned a corner, her entire deanor collapsed.
Geng Like originally wanted to use this talent show to increase her exposure and lay the foundation for entering the entertainnt industry.
Now, unexpectedly, she ran into Chen Bin.
If she couldn’t make it to the finals, no one would pay attention to her.
If that were the case, her dream of becoming an actress would likely shatter again.
Thinking about this, Geng Like’s tears began to fall uncontrollably.
She ran to a secluded corner outside, took out her phone, and dialed a number.
"Mom, what are you doing?"
A refined female voice ca from the other end of the line.
"I’m at work. Didn’t you go to participate in the ’Majestic Song’ talent show? How do you have ti to call ?"
Facing her mother’s concern, Geng Like’s façade crumbled instantly.
She burst into tears, "Mom, I’m about to be eliminated..."
anwhile, Chen Bin gathered a few judges together.
He clearly instructed them that Geng Like must be eliminated this ti!
The judges all quite liked Geng Like, thinking she was promising in acting.
However, since Chen Bin said so, they couldn’t say much.
They could only feel it was a pity.
As the competition began, Chen Bin ca to the scene himself; he wanted to see Geng Like being eliminated.
However, not long after, his phone suddenly rang.
Seeing that it was Li Lu calling, Chen Bin quickly ran to the side.
After answering, he laughed and asked, "Secretary Li, what are your instructions? Okay, I understand, rest assured!"
After hanging up, Chen Bin was quite speechless.
He never expected that such a young Geng Like could play clever gas.
Knowing Li Lu and not ntioning it, embarrassing him in the process.
Even though he was frustrated, he dared not be negligent.
He quickly wrote a note and had it delivered to Jin Jiangkou by the staff on site.
Upon seeing its contents, Jin Jiangkou was also very surprised.
He imdiately tead up with the other judges to revise the elimination list.
Geng Like had perford very seriously in the previous rounds, but knowing she was to be eliminated this ti, she was sowhat indifferent in her performance.
However, what she didn’t expect was that she wasn’t on the elimination list.
What’s going on? Could it be Chen Bin had a change of heart?
Although she couldn’t figure out the reason, not being eliminated was clearly a good thing for Geng Like.
At the start of August, Kawashima Yoshiko was on sumr vacation and flew to Tianhai to visit Kuizi.
Upon learning of this, Chen Bin imdiately invited the two won to dine together.
On the way to the restaurant, Kawashima Yoshiko looked at Kuizi with so displeasure.
"Didn’t I tell you not to let Chen Bin know about coming to Tianhai? You promised, so why did you?"
"I didn’t an to. It ca up accidentally while we were discussing work-related matters."
With a cold snort, Kawashima Yoshiko was still sulking.
"I don’t care, you blabbed."
Frowning slightly, Kuizi was very puzzled.
"Why do you dislike Chen Bin so much? Did sothing unpleasant happen between you two?"
Kawashima Yoshiko didn’t answer, just bowed her head silently.
She had a strong premonition that this ti she wouldn’t escape Chen Bin’s clutches.
Thinking of that night when she was ravished into unconsciousness by a dragon, Kawashima Yoshiko felt an itch deep inside...
