"Old man, your requirements for happiness are really low,"
Zhong Xiqian sighed.
The old man laughed heartily and said, "Young lad, it's not that my requirements are low, but yours are high. Sometimes, lowering your expectations can make life very joyful."
In the midst of the conversation,
the waitress had already brought the noodles to the table.
Chen Fang said, "Old man, please take your time eating, we'll be leaving first."
Just as he was about to get up,
the old man said, "No rush, no rush, after I finish eating, I need to take a trip to Longmen Bridge. The bus isn't convenient there, could you give me a lift in your car?"
He really wasn't shy about asking for help.
Longmen Bridge was at least a half-hour drive from where they were dining.
Chen Fang was just about to politely decline.
Zhong Xiqian took hold of his hand and said, "Sure, old man, take your time with your meal. After you're done, we'll drive you there."
Then she turned to Chen Fang and said, "You don't start work until three in the afternoon, right? We'll make it on time."
Chen Fang, seeing how kind Zhong Xiqian was,
didn't refuse.
He obediently sat back down.
After about fifteen minutes,
the old man seemed completely satisfied.
He stretched out his hand to wipe his mouth and said, "Let's go."
Zhong Xiqian's car was a business van, and there was a designated driver.
The old man didn't hold back, choosing the most comfortable seat to sit down. As soon as the car started, he began to doze off.
Amidst the thunderous snoring, they persevered for half an hour until they finally arrived at Longmen Bridge.
Zhong Xiqian and Chen Fang helped him out of the car, and even asked if he needed any more help. The old man chuckled and said, "I've run out of money. Could you spare me some?"
Zhong Xiqian quickly took out five hundred yuan and put it in the old man's hand.
She said, "Here's some money for you, sir."
"I might not be able to pay this back,"
the old man said.
Zhong Xiqian waved her hand and said, "No need to repay it. Today, listening to the elder's life philosophy is something money can't buy."
"Heh heh, youngster, you have a way with words, I like it. That's settled then, we'll meet again if fate allows," the old man said with a chuckle.
After these words,
the old man swaggered off.
The two returned to the car.
Chen Fang curiously asked, "Qianqian, why do I feel like you're so attentive to that old man?"
"Don't you think the old man has an extraordinary presence?"
Zhong Xiqian questioned.
Chen Fang pondered for a moment and said, "Extraordinary presence? Where did you see that? I didn't notice."
Zhong Xiqian smiled and said, "Anyway, I just have that feeling. A little effort on our part, who knows if it might be useful someday."
Before Chen Fang could respond,
the phone rang abruptly.
Looking at the number, it was a call from Gao Younan's fiancée, Tang Qiulin.
"Qiulin, what's wrong?"
Chen Fang asked.
Tang Qiulin spoke between sobs, "Ah Fang, where are you? Hurry back, the child has a fever."
Upon hearing this,
Chen Fang grew tense.
He said, "Qiulin, don't panic, I'll be there in fifteen minutes."
After speaking,
he hung up the phone and immediately got into the car.
Zhong Xiqian heard this
and was also in a great hurry, quickly urging the driver to start the car.
They no longer cared about speed limits; the driver sped up to get Chen Fang and Zhong Xiqian back to the apartment complex they had arranged earlier. As soon as the car stopped, Tang Qiulin was already waiting at the gate, holding the child.
Zhong Xiqian took the child into her arms, not even having the time to greet Tang Qiulin.
Racing to the First People's Hospital of Guyang City emergency department.
The doctor also realized the situation was very serious and carried the child into the emergency room.
Chen Fang and Zhong Xiqian couldn't enter, and all they could do was anxiously wait outside.
After all, she was a mother.
Zhong Xiqian couldn't hold back and burst into tears, constantly blaming herself, and resenting her own inability to take care of the child.
Chen Fang found this somewhat heartbreaking.
He could only hold Zhong Xiqian in his arms and comfort her.
In the quiet hallway.
Zhong Xiqian's sobs echoed.
Just then, the door to a ward next to the emergency room suddenly opened.
A young man wearing a vest with many pockets came out, scanning the area with his eyes before settling on Zhong Xiqian and Chen Fang and shouted, "You two, keep it down, we're filming inside."
Chen Fang looked closely.
Sure enough, the ward was filled with quite a few people.
And the camera was set up nicely.
A woman with meticulous makeup was sitting on the hospital bed, apparently an actress.
"What do you mean? This is a hospital, aren't we allowed to cry?"
Chen Fang retorted.
The young man glanced disdainfully at Chen Fang and said, "If you want to cry, go outside. With your crying, how can we continue filming?"
Chen Fang patted Zhong Xiqian's back and stood up.
He said, "I don't understand what you're saying. Our child is in there for emergency treatment; what's wrong with the mother crying about it? Who says you can't cry in a hospital?"
"Come on, don't be unreasonable," the young man fired back, "I told you to cry outside. This isn't the place for that. If you delay our filming, can you afford the compensation?"
Before Chen Fang could reply.
A middle-aged man wearing sunglasses swaggered out.
He imperiously asked, "What's the matter? Can't even handle a small issue now?"
Upon seeing him, the young man immediately bowed and scraped, gesturing towards Chen Fang and said, "Those two troublemakers won't stop crying no matter what we say to them."
As soon as the man with sunglasses appeared.
Chen Fang already knew who he was.
His name was You Changda.
A famous director nationwide.
Also the head director of the crew of "Great Prosperity."
It looked like they were filming at the hospital today.
You Changda naturally didn't recognize Chen Fang.
He frowned and said to Chen Fang, "I don't care if someone is sick today or someone died; just keep your mouth shut. If you disrupt the progress of our filming, you'll face the consequences."
"What did you say? Apologize to us!"
Chen Fang was originally just angry.
But hearing those words.
Zhong Xiqian also could not hold back, stood up, pointed at You Changda and scolded him.
After all, You Changda's words were indeed too unpleasant.
What mother could tolerate hearing such things?
"Ha, apologize? What for? You are merely dealing with a resuscitation; we're filming here. Can't you tell which is more important? Clear out at once or I'll have someone throw you out!"
You Changda declared with an air of superiority.
The financier of this movie was his Lanfang Media.
Technically, Chen Fang should cooperate.
But You Changda was not only impolite but also overly arrogant; even if he were the Emperor, Chen Fang wouldn't indulge him.
He took a step forward.
And said fiercely, "You must apologize!"
"Apologize my ass, Xiao Bai, call some guys over and kick them out for me!"
You Changda ordered.
The young man who had come out earlier.
Hurriedly clamored inside the ward.
Then, four young men rushed out and charged towards Chen Fang…
