Chapter 311 Jiang Zhao requests to attend the birthday party
After Qin Yulian left, Jiang Xing did not follow her. Instead, he went to a public well in the village to fetch water to wash his face.
Seeing that Jiang Xing did not leave the village with his mother Qin Yulian, Ms. Meng Yao, who was standing not far away by the field ridge, took off her straw hat and fanned herself, saying, "Old Zhou, judging from Jiang Xing's appearance, it seems that he sincerely wants to repent and beg for Li Ya's forgiveness."
Zhou Wang scoffed dismissively: "What's the use of regret? In my opinion, all of this is just locking the barn door after the horse has bolted. The sheep are already dead. What's the point of taking any remedial measures afterward? Li Yatou's heart is dead to them. Even if they die, Li Yatou won't feel any pain."
Meng Yao wholeheartedly agreed, but was somewhat troubled, "So, should we just let him wander around the village?"
Zhou Wang said, "Well, let's not worry about him. Xiao Li's 21st birthday is coming up, right? I don't believe that Jiang Xing won't come back to Beijing for the birthday party on such an important day. But I guess Li Yatou didn't invite their family at all."
Meng Yao said, "Is it possible that Jiang Xing came here to gain our approval and qualify to attend Li Yatou's birthday banquet?"
Zhou Wang turned around and said, "Who cares, Lao Meng, let's go. Our medical research isn't finished yet, let's not waste time on him."
Meng Yao ignored Jiang Xing and followed Zhou Wang as they turned and left.
Jiang Xing knew that the villagers would not forgive him.
He wasn't in a hurry; there was still some time before his younger sister Xiaoli's birthday, and he still had a chance to gain the villagers' acceptance.
My mother, Qin Yulian, called three hours after she left.
Jiang Xing initially refused, but her mother kept calling, so Jiang Xing had no choice but to turn off her phone again.
Finally, things have calmed down.
After that, Jiang Xing observed what the villagers did on a daily basis.
He would help those who needed assistance moving heavy objects, pushing oxcarts, producing manure, fertilizing, or watering.
Some villagers refused his kindness, while others, intending to tease him, deliberately made him do more harm than good.
Jiang Xing was not discouraged.
At least someone is willing to give him a chance!
If he can gain the approval of these villagers who are like family to Xiao Li, he can attend Xiao Li's birthday banquet!
……
And the other side.
Beijing, Dafeng Entertainment, Vice President's Office.
Jiang Zhao handed over the sheet music for the three new songs that he had worked day and night to Yu Hongtu, who then casually handed them over to Zheng Zegang, who had recruited Jiang Zhao, without even looking at them.
Seeing that Yu Hongtu didn't care much about the new song that he had worked so hard to finish, Jiang Zhao's eyes darkened.
"Now that the song is finished, arrange for recording and release immediately," Yu Hongtu said lazily before asking, "Manager Zheng, how long will it take to get Jiang Zhao's new album ready?"
Zheng Zegang took the sheet music and said, "Normally, an album with 10 songs takes three months to complete. Considering that Jiang Zhao is only releasing three songs this time, it should be done in a month."
"No way! A month is too long!" Yu Hongtu said directly. "I heard that Jiang Youli's new song has been recorded and is just waiting to be released on her birthday. Jiang Zhao's new album must be released on the same day to go head-to-head with Jiang Youli!"
At this point, he looked at Jiang Zhao and said, "You should know when your sister's birthday is, right?"
Jiang Zhao certainly knew.
Jiang Youli, the younger sister, shares the same birthday as Jiang Yonghe.
“The 21st of this month,” Jiang Zhao replied.
“That’s it! There are still half a month left. If your sister Jiang Youli gets there first, she’ll grab the hype!” Yu Hongtu put pressure on Zheng Zegang directly, saying, “Manager Zheng, being paid twice as much as you used to at Starlight Entertainment doesn’t mean you have to work at the normal pace. You must finish Jiang Zhao’s new album within half a month. If you can’t, you’ll have to get your staff working overtime.”
As the manager of the business department, Zheng Zegang was not originally in charge of post-production work. However, since Yu Hongtu, who was about to become the new manager of Dafeng Entertainment, had personally given the order, how could he dare to disobey? Despite his frustration, he still replied, "Okay, I'll try my best..."
"I don't want it to be done as much as possible, I want it to be done!" Yu Hongtu said.
Zheng Zegang forced himself to change his mind and said, "Okay, I will definitely fulfill Xiaoyu's request!"
Yu Hongtu was very satisfied.
He felt that he was indeed very suitable to be a company manager, and that once he took full control of Dafeng Entertainment, the company would definitely perform better than it does now!
Zheng Zegang was inwardly groaning.
Jiang Youli didn't understand what was going on, and actually said that she could release a new song on her birthday!
Isn't Starlight Entertainment short-staffed right now?
How could you complete the recording and release of a new song so quickly?
Yu Hongtu got up, stretched, and said, "Alright, you guys get back to work. If you need to work overtime, then work overtime. I'm going to socialize now."
After saying that, he swaggered out of the office.
Looking at Yu Hongtu's dashing figure, Zheng Zegang felt a surge of anger and couldn't help but mutter, "He calls it a social engagement, but it's really just a way to party and have fun."
Jiang Zhao glanced at him. "Manager Zheng, what are you angry about? Didn't you choose to switch jobs and come to Dafeng Entertainment yourself?"
Zheng Zegang retorted unhappily, "You're saying the same thing."
Jiang Zhao did not deny it. "I have always known that I betrayed my sister to come here, so as long as I can achieve my goal of becoming famous, I am willing to endure no matter how unreasonable Yu Hongtu's demands are. Manager Zheng, surely you are not aware of this yet?"
Zheng Zegang retorted, "Of course I have one! In that case, you'd better cooperate with the post-production department to record the new song today!"
Jiang Zhao said, "I have no problem."
It was late at night when Jiang Zhao left Dafeng Entertainment, and he finally had time to check his phone. He then saw a text message from his mother, Qin Yulian.
However, he chose to ignore it and did not reply.
He could understand his older brother Jiang Xing's feelings.
Now, they are already exhausted just trying to get their sister Jiang Youli's forgiveness, and they have no energy left to coax their unreasonable mother.
Jiang Zhao opened his younger sister Jiang Youli's WeChat Moments to see if she had posted anything today.
She hasn't posted anything for the past few days.
This is completely different from Jiang Yonghe before.
Jiang Yonghe used to love sharing her daily life.
What delicious food did you eat today? What gifts did you receive? What competitions did you participate in?
Now, he no longer has the opportunity to peek into his younger sister's life through her social media posts.
Even more tragically, he didn't even receive an invitation to his own sister's birthday party.
No!
He wants to seize the opportunity!
So Jiang Zhao took out his phone and dialed Grandpa Jiang's number.
A short while later, the call connected, and the person on the other end went straight to the point: "I've already asked Youli to cure your elder brother Jiang Xing's poison. Is there anything else?"
Jiang Zhao asked in a pleading tone, "Grandpa, may I go to my little sister Xiao Li's birthday party?"
