Chapter 194: Someone got hit

The property management brother pulled the truck to the side of the road and leaned his head out of the window to look at the two little orange cats: "These two little guys? They appeared here at the beginning of spring this year. A young girl in our property management office often feeds them."

"There aren't many stray animals in the residential area, just these two cats that come and go like ghosts every day. I haven't seen them for a few days either."

"Miss Shen, be careful, don't get scratched or bitten. They are stray cats after all; it'll be troublesome if you get hurt."

Shen Ci smiled and thanked him, watching as the property management brother drove the sprinkler truck away slowly. The water mist was scattered, refracting into colorful halos of light in the sun.

"Meow..."

The little orange cat rubbed its furry head against Shen Ci's hand, looking very endearing.

"Do you want to come home with me?" Shen Ci looked at the kittens with a gentle expression and said.

"Meow..."

"Sigh." Shen Ci let out a soft sigh and slowly stood up. There was often no one at home now, so she couldn't keep small animals; otherwise, she would have kept them long ago.

The two little orange cats circled Shen Ci's feet twice, then darted into the greenery on the side of the road and disappeared.

Shen Ci didn't dwell on it anymore, drove the car back home, and then made a video call to her mother.

After the video connected, Shen Jingjing's background was in her younger sister's shop. Seeing this, Shen Ci was surprised: "Mom, is Uncle still not discharged from the hospital?"

"He's discharged, but the scalded area can't get wet yet. There's water vapor in this shop, and it's damp. Anyway, I don't have anything to do usually, so it's fine to help your aunt for a while."

Hearing this, Shen Ci nodded in understanding.

Shen Jingjing looked to be in excellent spirits; her skin was firm and smooth, her complexion was rosy, and she had even lost some weight.

It seemed that the beauty card and dance card hadn't been in vain; the results were particularly obvious on her mother, making her look much younger than before.

"Mom, I saw Uncle Jiang yesterday," Shen Ci said directly to her mother.

Shen Jingjing's eyes widened in slight surprise: "You saw him? There hasn't been any news for so long; I thought you hadn't contacted him."

Previously, her daughter had mentioned wanting to contact Jiang's Group about a new project. Shen Jingjing thought that such a large group as Jiang's wouldn't be easy to cooperate with, and since her daughter hadn't mentioned it again, she assumed the matter had likely gone nowhere.

She didn't expect Shen Ci to suddenly say she had seen him.

Shen Ci then told her mother everything that happened yesterday. There was no need to be too detailed about such things with her mother; she just needed her mother to know that she was really investing and making money, so that her mother would have a bottom line about the source of her wealth, and she could spend money with peace of mind.

This time it was a cooperation with Jiang's Group, so the credibility was fully maxed out, and her mother wouldn't have any more doubts when she arrived in Longcheng in the future.

"Then this Mr. Jiang has really helped you a lot!" Shen Jingjing exclaimed upon hearing this.

Shen Ci nodded in agreement: "That's right, Uncle Jiang didn't even think twice and directly let us connect with the person in charge of their company's department."

"Then you must thank him properly."

"He is the chairman of Jiang's Group; he lacks nothing. As long as our project is good enough, it will also be a great boost and help to Jiang's Group. The best result is that this cooperation ends in a win-win situation."

Shen Jingjing naturally didn't understand these things, but she knew that if someone helped, one had to thank them; this was the way of the world.

Just after hanging up the phone, Shen Yingying arrived. Shen Jingjing pulled her over and asked: "Yingying, do you think things like our family's "roasted meat" can be sent to Longcheng?"

"Longcheng? Are you sending it to A-Ci?"

Shen Yingying shook her head as she spoke: "That won't work. Our family's stuff is all about freshness. No matter how fast the courier is, it has to be overnight. Even if it doesn't spoil, the taste will be much worse."

"Besides, what is there that Longcheng doesn't have? If A-Ci wants to eat roasted meat, can't she find a place to eat it?"

Shen Jingjing quickly explained: "It's not for A-Ci. Do you remember the time I saved someone at the restaurant..."

Briefly explaining it to Shen Yingying, Shen Jingjing finally added: "I thought A-Ci was right; such a big boss lacks nothing usually, and giving gifts has no sincerity."

"But you can't send roasted meat either!" Shen Yingying laughed: "Even if you took a plane yourself to deliver it early in the morning, it would still take five or six hours on the road, right? Being sealed for five or six hours, the taste will be much worse."

Shen Jingjing nodded, feeling that Shen Yingying's words made sense.

"Oh my, if you ask me, if you don't know what to send, it's better not to send anything, so as not to be like a sick person seeking medical advice and sending something that isn't to their liking, which would be troublesome instead. Such a big boss definitely lacks nothing."

Shen Jingjing understood this principle, but she felt that sending something was a gesture of sincerity; as long as one put their heart into it, the other party would definitely appreciate it.

Otherwise, A-Ci had received such great help from the other party for nothing; she couldn't just take it for granted.

She wanted to do something for her daughter.

But for a moment, her mind was a mess, and she didn't know how to help with this, and she was also afraid of doing more harm than good as Yingying said, adding trouble to her daughter.

Shen Li's filming progress had accelerated recently. As long as the set design overlapped with her scenes, the director would prioritize filming her first.

Especially the assistant director; after the last incident, he had seen how terrifying the people behind Shen Li were. He had already treated Shen Li very well, and now he took even better care of her.

And now there were inevitably some rumors in the crew. Although the last incident hadn't spread to the internet, many people inside had seen Zhang Heng's miserable state.

This was the son of a capitalist. That Shen Li and Xu Zishan could walk away unscathed from this incident, and even taught Zhang Heng a lesson and kicked him out of the crew—everyone had their own guesses about the twists and turns behind this.

Some felt Xu Zishan wasn't simple.

But more people felt that Shen Li had a big shot supporting her.

Shen Li had also asked the assistant director, but the assistant director refused to say anything, only saying that the company had come forward to handle and resolve it.

"A-Li, can you still handle it? You have to take care of your health even if you're rushing the schedule."

Seeing Shen Li working non-stop for several days, Xiaoyun couldn't help but worry.

Shen Li shook her head with a faint smile, indicating she was fine: "Sister Kuan has already arranged everything. Although it's hard, I can still hold on."

A-Pan had boiled brown sugar ginger tea for her. Xiaoyun took it and handed it to her: "Come, drink some. You started your period today; you must not push yourself. If you feel any discomfort, you must tell me, you know?"

"Alright, I know, don't worry."

At this moment, the half-open door of the lounge was suddenly pushed open. Ren Jia stood at the doorway with a half-smile on her face, knocked on the door, looked at Shen Li and said: "A-Li, there's a scene outside, aren't you going to take a look?"

Hearing this, Shen Li subconsciously looked at Xiaoyun, and then looked at Ren Jia and asked softly: "Sister Jiajia, what scene?"

Xiaoyun said: "A-Li, let's not join in the fun. We have to change costumes soon to catch the next scene."

Ren Jia said to herself: "Song Anyu hit someone, and I heard it seems to have something to do with you." ===== CHAPTER 195 =====
