Another winter vacation arrived, and Xu Qianyun hurriedly finished the ga planning proposal before the final exams.
"How about it, brother-in-law? Is it okay?"
In the Palm Pavilion, a freshman boy anxiously stared at Jing Yu, looking as if he was begging for praise.
The latter flipped through a few pages and finally nodded with approval, "Overall, it’s not bad. You’ve made progress during this ti."
"Oh yeah~~~"
"But there are still so areas that need improvent, just minor issues."
Jing Yu was indeed very satisfied; the excellence of this proposal was beyond his expectations. Xu Chengfeng’s business acun had indeed been passed down to this little brother-in-law.
Xu Qianyun didn’t care about the minor issues. Hearing "not bad" from a business tycoon was like reaching the pinnacle of life.
He had spent quite so ti in the investnt departnt of the Cloudscape Group and had heard many rumors about Jing Yu. To have a person who could make the departnt managers tremble say his work was "not bad"?
That was definitely "not bad"!
Seeing Xu Qianyun almost jumping with joy, Jing Yu chuckled, "You can invest now. If you don’t have enough money, you can borrow from your sister."
"Got it! By the way... can I sleep here tonight?"
"Sure, the room next to you is still available. If you want to sleep here, there’s also a guest room."
Since the two got married, Tang Shu spent most of her ti at the Jing family, so Xu Qianyun ca to the Jing family this ti instead of the next-door villa.
"No, no, no, I’d better go back to sleep. I don’t want to disturb you."
Nonsense, he also knew how to read the room, right? Besides, both villas had the sa design; it was better to stay in his own room than to sleep in the Jing family guest room.
Xu Qianyun shook his head in refusal, ignoring the thoughtful look Jing Yu cast his way.
Dinner was prepared by Aunt Lin. With the Jing parents absent, there were only four people eating, finishing five dishes and one soup.
After eating happily and heading next door, Jing Yu habitually pulled Tang Shu, who had just showered, into his arms.
"Hasn’t Qianyun been coming over quite frequently recently?"
"Yes, he liked staying here even before the college entrance exams. Why?"
"I heard from people at the company that he’s been feeling a bit down lately. Is there sothing going on at ho?"
Tang Shu paused in her hair-rubbing motion and thought for a mont, "Mom just video-called earlier and said nothing about it. Is he really feeling down?"
She really hadn’t noticed.
Jing Yu shook his head, "Maybe I’m overthinking it. When do you plan to go back to Tang Village?"
"The 21st of the lunar month. Mom and Dad won’t be coming back for the New Year this year. Should we go to the old house first?"
"Sure."
As winter vacation approached, it was already January in the Gregorian calendar. Tang Shu happily received the news that Cheng Ranran and Ye Xiaohui passed with high scores, but she had no experience to offer for the re-exam.
"Sorry, I haven’t experienced that either."
"Though what you said is true, why do I feel like punching you?"
In a coffee shop near the school, Cheng Ranran, sipping milk tea through a straw, complained. Her expression showed no sign of worry about the retake exam.
Having passed the graduate entrance exam mark set by the dical University, she felt invincible.
"I actually managed to break through over 5,000 study gods, so I’m already at martial arts master level. Why strive for world number one?"
"Yes, you are indeed the Study God."
Ye Xiaohui sighed, "But if the Study God can’t pass the retake, the Study God will beco useless."
She genuinely worried about her low-emotional-intelligence childhood friend. Could Ran Bao really rely on innocence to defeat her opponents and gain the interviewer’s favor?
Just thinking about it gave her goosebumps!
Tang Shu silently finished her cappuccino, "Good luck to both of you."
***
Despite not having any work released this year, Tang Shu still received an invitation from the national drama and film awards, and attended glamorously under Luo Lin’s strong insistence.
Smile throughout in front of the caras~~
Consequently, the headline "[Tang Shu’s First Glamorous Appearance After Marriage]" erged that night, with various 15-second short videos attached.
"Are the words ’after marriage’ really that important? Why do all these little articles have to add them?"
Lying on Jing Yu’s lap, Tang Shu wondered.
Jing Yu, while typing away and replying to emails, multitasked to answer her question.
"After all, you set a new record for the youngest married actress."
"Whose fault is that?"
"My fault."
Jing Yu smoothly took the bla and lowered his head to peck her forehead in consolation.
Tang Shu rolled her eyes back, "Clearly, projects are more important..."
"So that’s why you made yourself look plain?"
An hour ago, Tang Shu received a ssage from Director Qi, notifying her that the film they shot a while ago had wrapped. Along with the ssage ca several clips she had fild.
Jing Yu imdiately recognized his plain-looking little wife - truly exceptional observation skills.
"That’s an elevation of my acting skills. Not everyone can successfully play the plain role."
"Unconcerned Jianghu" is a tragic story. Director Qi has veered from his usual style to create a tragedy, and the plain-as-day female lead No. 2, after enduring husband betrayal and the death of her daughter, completely turns dark, which propels the entire storyline.
The character is richly layered with a drastic personality change, which is why Tang Shu was drawn to this role.
She had many scenes opposite the Female Lead No.1 played by Tong Tong. The main character experienced a brutal family massacre, falling from The Spoiled Girl of Heaven to a much-coveted beauty of the jianghu. The two won with similar life experiences chose two entirely different paths when confronting significant dilemmas.
Even the character played by Tong Tong faced more unfair treatnt due to her beauty but still chose the path of righteousness.
"Why did you choose Female Lead No.2 instead of No.1?"
After hearing a rough outline of the story, Jing Yu was quite puzzled. After all, his wife had been synonymous with beauty since her debut, having played many such roles.
"Because I wanted to try being an unremarkable mad character; it’s thrilling."
Tang Shu replied.
"Now that you ntion it, it does sound quite interesting. When does it premiere?"
"That might take a while."
As the New Year approached, the two followed their usual routine, first going to the Jing family for a family dinner before heading to the Tang Village. The day before, they visited the Xu Family Villa.
Xu Chengfeng and Lin Yunlan welcod them as always. Xu Qianyun had been on vacation at ho for so ti, but today, Xu Qianyu, who also didn’t have much work, joined them, along with Du An who arrived at noon.
This was a true reunion al - even if most people found the combination quite odd.
Xu Chengfeng, truly a business veteran, masterfully kept the atmosphere within a fixed range, occasionally talking with Jing Yu and Du An about economics, and even consulting Tang Shu about dical topics.
"Doesn’t Dad notice the awkwardness at all?"
