When Zhou Yiting realized that her a.s.sistant didn’t invite Jiang Rui over, she lost her temper. She thought that the girl must not have said it clearly, or Jiang Rui would have agreed to see her! She was able to be the main heroine only because Jiang Rui told the director so.
“Yiting!” The director walked up to her smilingly.
Zhou Yiting played it cool. “Just say what you want to!”
The director didn’t mind that. They had wanted Zhou Yiyun to be in the show, who had won an award and had bigger fame. But Zhou Yiyun didn’t have enough time and recommended his younger sister to play a supporting role, so the director did her the favor.
However, when it was about to film, the investor said that Zhou Yiting was supposed to play the leading role, and that an important person told them to do so. When Zhou Yiting first arrived on the team, they didn’t know who she was, then she told them herself.
When they knew it was Jiang Rui, they became nicer to her. After a while, she thought herself important. The director felt that is was nothing serious. She could be as complacent as she wanted as long if she didn’t affect the filming.
Especially when they needed her help.
“Um, we have a scene that needs to be filmed in the army. Since you know Officer Jiang, can we film in his place?”
Zhou Yiting hesitated. She hadn’t talked to Jiang Rui until now…
“Oh, forget about it if you can’t. I know Officer Jiang is no ordinary person. Forget it!” The director sighed intentionally. “We can set up the scene in the military school.”
“No, we can!” Zhou Yiting said immediately, “We can go there directly. I can tell Officer Jiang when we arrive there.” She didn’t want others to know that she didn’t even have Jiang Rui’s phone number. In her eyes, now that Jiang Rui had helped her, he must have a feeling for her.
The director said happily and instantly, “Great! You help us the most on our team!”
Then Zhou Yiting was even prouder in the group and looked complacent every day. She seemed to see herself as a superstar.
At the end of the month, Hei Zi formally graduated. Chen Chen and Tuan Zi came to take it home and partic.i.p.ated in its graduation performance.
“Mum, see! Hei Zi is in the third row.” This year, several police dogs graduated and where they would go had to be decided by their grades and performances. But Hei Zi didn’t have to, so it acted disdainful to the other dogs.
Xiao Si ran to them. “If Hei Zi wins first place, you can put this on it!” He gave Tuan Zi a medal.
“My Hei Zi must be first!” Tuan Zi said with pride. “Mum, if Hei Zi gets first place, can we go to a very expensive diner for dogs tonight?”
“Okay.”
A voice came before Chen Chen could say anything.
“Brother Xiao Rui! Why are you here?”
Jiang Rui looked at her and the eyes became softer. “I’ve just come by to watch.”
“It begins! It begins!” Tuan Zi shouted while Jiang Rui held her up and sat down with Chen Chen.
On the other side, Zhou Yiting’s team arrived at the gate of the army with a lot of people and they were naturally stopped by the guard.
“I know Officer Jiang. Please contact him for me. Just tell him that our filming group wants to film a scene in the army.”
The guard looked at Zhou Yiting with suspicion. The officer couldn’t have agreed to such a thing.
Zhou Yiting saw that he didn’t make a move and she became worried. The whole filming group was watching her from behind!
“Ah, just call him. You can ask him. He must agree if he knows it is me!”
After a while, another guard walked out from the duty room and saluted Zhou Yiting. “Miss, our officer doesn’t have time right now. Please leave.”
Zhou Yiting was annoyed. “Did you call him or not? No way, let me in. I’ll find Officer Jiang myself.”
“Yiting!” The director ran up to her. “It’s okay if it’s not allowed. It’s is a military place, which can’t be broken into.”
“No!” Zhou Yiting felt as if she could see people in the group laughing at her. “I have to let you in and film.”
Just when they couldn’t find a way inside, two cars drove out.
“What are you doing?” Bear got out of the first car. “Who are you? How do you dare to make trouble here!”
The director said hurriedly, “No, we’re not. We are not here to make trouble. We are a filming group!”
“Ah, you are close to Officer Jiang. Then you must know where he is!” Zhou Yiting excitedly caught Bear’s sleeve.
Bear saw her then. “It’s you? What are you doing here?”
“We want to film a scene in the troops. Can you let us in?” Zhou Yiting became proud again upon seeing that Bear still remembered her. “Then let me meet with Officer Jiang. I haven’t said thank you to him yet!”
Bear laughed. “Miss, do you have a brain? People are not allowed to go in here, not to mention filming.”
“Since you don’t dare to agree, let me meet with Officer Jiang.” Zhou Yiting was very unhappy. “While other people can’t, I absolutely can!”
There was some noise in the second car and Jiang Rui got out from the driver’s door. Zhou Yiting was excited and was about to call him, but he walked to the other side of the car, opened the door, and gently held a woman to get out.
Her face became stiff. She knew that woman who seemed to be Jiang Rui’s wife.
“Why are you so slow? Liuliu is hungry.” Jiang Rui glanced at him and took Chen Chen to the restroom in the building.
Bear waved and a few soldiers walked to him.
“Drive them away!”
The director hurriedly asked everyone to get back while apologizing. Seeing that Zhou Yiting still wanted to move forward, he pulled her with great effort. “Do you want to bring us all into this trouble?”
“Let go of me, Officer Jiang must have not seen me!” Zhou Yiting struggled.
Bear felt funny and stared at her. “Miss Zhou, last time our master helped you because his wife likes Zhou Yiyun and you’re her younger sister. So he asked the investor to do that. In fact, he doesn’t even know who you are.”
Seeing Zhou Yiyun’s face become darker and darker, he reminded her, “It’s a great chance falling onto your head. I suggest you behave yourself and grab hold of the chance. Don’t overthink it. Now that we can give you the chance, it will only be a matter of a single word to make you lose the chance. You can keep that in mind!”
When Chen Chen came back, the filming group was gone.
“What do they want to do?”
Jiang Rui fastened the safety belt for her. “Nothing, it’s n.o.body important.”
Tuan Zi shouted in the back row, “Dad, we should have let Hei Zi out to scare them. It is a champion!”
“Woof! Woof!” There was a big medal on Hei Zi’s neck and it barked proudly. Then it cutely licked Tuan Zi’s face. It was in a great mood today because it could go back home with its little master! And it didn’t have to be under training with those stupid dogs.
Tuan Zi held it. “The place we will go must be full of dogs. You must be very handsome to beat them all!”
“Bow-wow!”
“Even if there are beautiful dogs, you shouldn’t go to them. We have to be cool as a handsome gentleman!”
“Bow-wow!”
“You don’t like beautiful girls? Do you like pretty boys?”
“Bow-wow!”
“Hahaha! I like Hei Zi the best too!”
The child and the dog held each other and kissed.
Xiao Si, who sat opposite them, shrank his neck back. He had seen Tuan Zi and Hei Zi communicating like that many times.
“Master, can Tuan Zi understand animals?”
He wasn’t the first one to ask the question. Jiang Rui looked at Chen Chen and wondered if she still remembered. As a result, Chen Chen disdainfully looked at Xiao Si. “You don’t understand. It’s only a kind of emotional connection, which means the dog and its owner have a great relationship!”
Xiao Si nodded at her words. “Then it will be a waste if Tuan Zi doesn’t become a dog trainer!”
“But where did you learn those words?” Chen Chen turned around and stared at Tuan Zi. “What do mean that Hei Zi is a handsome gentleman?”
Tuan Zi gazed with her big watery eyes. “Wen Ziyu said it! He said that he was and my dad was. So is Hei Zi.”
“He didn’t tell you who you were?” Xiao Si joked to her.
“He did.” Tuan Zi narrowed her eyes. “In his words, I am the princess who will marry a handsome gentleman. But I punched him. I will be a female general. A princess is not the right choice for me!”
Chen Chen worriedly asked Jiang Rui, “Is it okay for her to speak like that at such a young age?”
“It’s nothing. Tuan Zi is very clever. You don’t have to worry about her.” Jiang Rui reached out a hand to touch her head and thought, “Now that she doesn’t reject me when I touch her head, I could hold her hands next.”
You could buy anything you want in the capital as long as you had money.
The place was specially offered for VIPs for those who loved dogs and it cost 100,000 yuan every year. Every time you were here, you would be charged per person and every person cost 500 yuan. The dogs were charged according to their size. The biggest dogs were charged 300 yuan and the smallest dogs were charged 100 yuan.
Hei Zi was neither too big nor too small so it was charged 200 yuan.
But the moment Jiang Rui walked in and saw the people in the room, his face turned dark.
“Uncle Jiang!” Wen Ziyu stood up politely.
Wen Pintang revealed a cute and innocent smile. “You’re so late. Sit down!”
Xie Hong stood up smilingly and greeted them. She was one of the few who knew the truth. When she heard that Chen Chen was a daughter from the Wan family, she felt great for herself again.
“Chen Chen?” She wondered if Chen Chen remembered her, so she carefully asked.
Just like Jiang Rui had said, Chen Chen only forgot that he loved her but she remembered everyone else.
“It’s been a while, Xie Hong!” Chen Chen pulled her to sit down smilingly. “I have a store in which I sell handicrafts. You can have a look there!”
Xie Hong was happy that Chen Chen still remembered her. “Of course. You can tell me when you open for business. Our whole family will be there. Our Pintang can be there to cut the ribbon for you!”
Jiang Rui looked at Wen Pintang. “I shall treat you for this meal and you can cut the ribbon then.”
“Will it be inconvenient?” Chen Chen felt it unnecessary to ask them to cut the ribbon.
Wen Ziyu sold out his dad immediately. “Auntie, there are advantages in having my father there. His face is worthwhile. If others see there is a connection between the store and him, they will buy stuff there!”
Chen Chen looked at Wen Pintang and her face revealed admiration.
“Haha.” Wen Pintang smiled. “You don’t have to be courteous to me. Your dad called me to ask me to take care of you. If Jiang Rui is mean to you, just tell me and I’ll beat him.”
Jiang Rui lifted his lips and knew he was lying… Boss Wan would never do such a thing. It must have been Xin Qing.
