Chapter 1281: What a Sin

Once young and in love with chasing dreams, with a heart only wanting to fly forward.

Traveled through thousands of mountains and rivers, walking all the way, unable to turn back.

Suddenly looking back, the feelings are already far away, unable to help myself, I am at the edge of the sky.

Only then do I understand that of love, hate, and affection, the most painful and hurtful thing is regret.

"..."

The distillery's large broadcast speakers were playing Andy Lau's *Water of Oblivion*; this song was written for him by Zhou Andong.

It could be said that among the most popular songs today, Andy Lau's *Water of Oblivion* and *Chinese* were definitely included.

It was just past six in the evening, and outside the distillery's Cultural Palace, it was full of people.

They didn't mind the cold, chatting in groups of three or five.

There were also quite a few people carrying plastic bags in their hands, filled with many things.

Besides iced black tea and Very Cola, there were also melon seeds, candy, and peanuts.

"I heard Jiang Yuyue is coming; is it true?"

"Of course it's true. Jiang Yuyue is our Chairman's former sister-in-law; as long as he says a word, she'll definitely come."

"Jiang Yuyue is our Chairman's former sister-in-law? Is that for real?"

"Of course it's true."

"I really didn't know about this. Who did you hear that from?"

"Last year I saw her come to find the Chairman, but not many people really know about this matter."

"Hey, hey, hey, have you guys heard? Andy Lau from Xiangjiang is even coming."

"Right, right, right, the Director said so; Andy Lau is indeed coming."

"It's not just Andy Lau; the one who sang *Infatuation* is coming too."

"The Queen of Love Songs who sang *The Wind Contains Affection, the Water Contains Smiles* is also coming."

"Black Panther, I know Black Panther is coming."

"In the human tide, there is me and there is you..."

"Alright, alright, alright, stop singing. It's the middle of the night; I'm afraid you'll summon the ghosts."

"..."

Yao Jun parked the car downstairs at the factory building. As soon as Zhou Andong got out of the car, he heard the sounds of laughter coming from the Cultural Palace.

Zhou Andong said with a smile: "It seems everyone's spirits are very high."

"That's right," Yao Jun said. "So many stars were invited, and there are crosstalk and sketches. That Losang is very popular right now.

Inviting him to perform once costs sixty thousand in appearance fees. And there are Teacher Chen and Teacher Zhu; brother-in-law and younger brother-in-law, police and thief—how classic."

Zhou Andong stepped into the factory gate; except for a few on duty, everyone had gone to the Cultural Palace.

Arriving at the factory conference room, it was indeed as he had thought: the group leadership was all hiding out here.

"Oh my!" Gu Bing said in a strange, sarcastic tone. "Chairman Zhou is here. It's been so long, yet you actually still remember the way and didn't take a wrong turn—not easy."

Zhou Andong rolled his eyes at him, moved the chair aside, and helped Jiang Xiaobai sit down next to Wu Huilin.

This one action made everyone freeze, and then they looked at each other.

Wu Huilin blinked her eyes, leaned over to Jiang Xiaobai's ear, and asked in a low voice.

"Xiaobai, are you pregnant?"

Jiang Xiaobai didn't hide it: "Almost three months."

"You guys..." The first to react was Gu Bing, who pointed at Zhou Andong and Jiang Xiaobai, his lips trembling: "What a sin! If your family's Old Buddha knows, whether you'll be dragged out to the Meridian Gate, I don't know, but I will definitely lose a layer of skin."

"No choice." Zhou Andong shrugged: "I also know this child came at the wrong time, but since it has come, it proves this is Heaven's arrangement, so we decided to keep the child."

Others didn't know Jiang Xiaobai's family situation, but Wu Huilin knew it very clearly and also had a face full of worry.

"You guys aren't married yet; if you have this child, will it..."

Zhou Andong was about to tease Gu Bing again, but was glared back by a look from Jiang Xiaobai.

"We have already registered our marriage." Jiang Xiaobai smiled: "Taking this opportunity to announce it is also good. In October, Dongzi and I will hold our wedding."

"Regi... registered?" Gu Bing stared with unbelievable eyes: "What about my aunt?"

Jiang Xiaobai said: "She agreed; otherwise, how could we hold a wedding?"

"Phew!" Gu Bing let out a long breath and then burst into loud laughter: "You guys have finally achieved a positive result. Next is me and Huilin."

"You?" Zhou Andong crossed his legs and said with a curled lip: "If I were you, I would have gone back and laid my cards on the table with the family long ago. Tell them, whether you agree or not, I am definitely marrying Wu Huilin."

I don't know if it was stimulated by Zhou Andong and Jiang Xiaobai's matter, or stimulated by Zhou Andong's words, but Gu Bing's head got hot.

"Fine, at the end of the year, I will go home."

"That's right." Zhou Andong continued to stir the fire: "You have to tell them, this is not a discussion, but a notification."

Gu Bing slapped the table: "Right, it is a notification to them. My marriage, I must decide for myself; what is there to discuss with them?"

Jiang Xiaobai secretly pinched Zhou Andong and gave him a dissatisfied roll of the eyes.

However, Jiang Xiaobai also felt in her heart that Gu Bing should be a bit tougher; otherwise, his matter with Wu Huilin would be hard to get approved.

Qian Zhen said with a smile: "Chairman, congratulations."

Du Chun cupped his hands together and bowed: "Congratulations, congratulations."

Gu Qing had a face full of joy: "Does this count as double happiness?"

"It counts!" Old Man Man said: "We are just waiting to drink the wedding wine."

"Wait for it, you won't be able to run away." Zhou Andong winced from being pinched and grabbed Jiang Xiaobai's hand: "And the red envelopes, you guys better not be stingy."

"Right!" Liu Qingjun said: "Chairman, some Sony brand VCDs have hit the market, just today."

Zhou Andong asked: "What's the price?"

Liu Qingjun said: "Slightly more expensive than Wan Yan's pricing, 4998."

"Not much more expensive." Zhou Andong tapped his fingers on the table: "People who can spend several thousand to buy a VCD can't possibly be short of those few hundred."

"I think so too." Liu Qingjun nodded: "Sony setting this price is actually aimed at Wan Yan. They want to rely on brand advantage to trample Wan Yan underfoot and completely drive it out of the domestic VCD market."

Zhou Andong nodded: "How is our VCD doing?"

Liu Qingjun said: "Seven thousand units have already been produced, but the advertisement hasn't been filmed yet, and there aren't many days left until the market launch time you specified."

"Hmm!" Zhou Andong nodded: "I plan to find Jiang Yuyue and Andy Lau to film the VCD advertisement. After the performance ends, I will ask Andy Lau if he has time."

"Great." Liu Qingjun slapped the table in excitement upon hearing about inviting Jiang Yuyue and Andy Lau to film the advertisement.

"How is the DVD research and development going?"

Zhou Andong asked a question and casually picked up a newspaper nearby.

"Hmm?"

The newspaper headline, with an enlarged and bolded title, immediately attracted Zhou Andong's gaze.

"Arable Land Protection Has Nothing to Do with Food Security"

Zhou Andong's brows furrowed. Liu Qingjun was just about to answer, but seeing Zhou Andong's expression, he immediately shut his mouth.

Jiang Xiaobai also noticed it and tilted her head to look at the newspaper: "What's wrong?"

Zhou Andong placed the newspaper on the table, pointed at it with his hand, and sneered.

"Look, these bastards have crawled out of their holes again, damn it." ===== CHAPTER 1282 =====
