Chapter 281

I couldn't open the message board with GPRS during this time, so I didn't see the arguments on the message board after I went out yesterday morning. Jiangshan is really sorry about asking for leave and standing people up. It's not that I'm ignoring the complaining girls, but besides saying sorry, Jiangshan currently has no ability to make further promises.

Being "enthusiastic and punctual" before going VIP was because Jiangshan had just quit her job at that time, with plenty of time, and besides typing, I could watch TV and play games. But after going VIP, at the end of August, Jiangshan moved to a new city, changed jobs, and everything started over. Although I have been working for many years, frankly speaking, when you first arrive in a new environment—the work the seniors don't want to do is all yours. And to be a bit shameless, Jiangshan is a jack-of-all-trades at work, often borrowed, and the work on hand can't be handed over, so I have to do it concurrently. This situation was

indeed beyond Jiangshan's expectations.

I made a promise when I started the book, and Jiangshan has been trying hard to maintain it. I am ashamed that I couldn't do it. Every time I asked for leave, I was holding on until I couldn't hold on anymore before sending it out. I know the girls have been waiting very hard, but may I ask—when the girls are waiting every day, have you ever thought about what Jiangshan is doing?

Jiangshan knows her identity; I am just a writer, and I have obligations to readers but no rights, so I can understand and am grateful for whatever the reader girls say, because the girls on Fresh Net are at least reading the genuine version. And everyone's complaints are indeed because Jiangshan didn't do well first; it was me who made a promise but didn't fulfill it, it was me who let the girls' waiting fall through repeatedly, so the only thing I want to explain is: my increasing leaves, the difference before and after going VIP, is not because Jiangshan has changed; Jiangshan is still that Jiangshan, it's just that the time Jiangshan can control is being compressed.

It was me who let the girls down, and I accept whatever the girls say, but the bottom line is: Jiangshan has never thought that being a writer is anything great, nor have I ever been arrogant or condescending to readers. I sincerely thank every girl who accompanies me on Fresh Net, trying my best to maintain the balance between writing, work, and life, and not once was a leave because I was "too lazy to write."

While I was asking for more and more leaves—

Yesterday, two best friends came to see me from another city. One said, "I'll do anything, I just want to come and chat with you." As a result, last night the two girls were watching Happy Camp behind my back, and I was there charging my phone and typing, couldn't type it out, and stayed up until past 1 o'clock for only a thousand words.

The day before yesterday, which was the day I asked for leave, I was so sad about something that I almost went winter swimming—but I can't swim, so I had to give up, walked all the way suppressing my tears, and got home after ten o'clock.

The time before last when I asked for leave, I was so sleepy~ I set an alarm thinking I'd sleep for half an hour and then get up to type. I don't know if everyone can understand the feeling of the end of the world when the alarm goes off...

Because of everyone, writing brings me unparalleled joy and happiness most of the time. Because I know I'm not qualified to complain, I've been trying hard to persist.

Please believe, girls, that at least Jiangshan has never intentionally neglected everyone.

☆, (13 Fresh Coins) Chapter 237: Accompanying for a Trip

Although dubbing work is more independent compared to filming movies and TV dramas, and voice actors can dub their parts separately and then synthesize them later, the effect of each person dubbing separately naturally doesn't have as much tension as group dubbing. Therefore, New × specifically arranged a few days of intensive group dubbing to improve the texture of key animation segments.

"Group dubbing starts tomorrow, which is also a very good learning opportunity for you. Asking for leave at this time..." Cai Mingxiao looked troubled.

"I'm sorry, Director Cai, I really need to go home and take a look." He Lele also knew it was excessive to ask for leave just after starting work, but no matter what, family always comes first.

"Ruan Lin will be here tomorrow! Are you sure you want to ask for leave?" Cai Mingxiao said. A group of girls started doing beauty treatments days ago as soon as they heard Ruan Lin was coming tomorrow. Tomorrow will definitely be a competition of beauties, and even those without work would find excuses to come. I didn't expect someone here to be asking for leave.

"..."

He Lele eventually asked for leave, one afternoon plus one morning. She must arrive at the company on time tomorrow afternoon to participate in the afternoon group dubbing.

"You go back and see your aunt first, and when you come back, you must explain things to me clearly. Boss... you accompany Lele on this trip."

"Ren Lingyu, I..."

"I have the final say, no refusal allowed."

Just like that, she took Li Yiquan and a bodyguard whose name she didn't even know on the plane home.

Just as she had expected, her hometown was still the same old hometown. Even though the flower of truth had bloomed, the fragrance called reality could never cover up the stench of rumors.

This has nothing to do with whether people are smart or stupid, or whether people are kind or evil. People only believe what they are willing to believe, and as for what they can or cannot believe... why should they spend effort to change their original views?

Along the way, Li Yiquan kept paying attention to the strange expressions of passersby and neighbors, the whispering that tried to cover up, and the indifference on He Lele's face that hadn't changed at all since getting off the plane.

In just a few dozen meters, the sky turned from light to dark, as if it had unknowingly transformed into another world... Li Yiquan's phoenix eyes turned slightly, and finally, he lowered his eyes to look at the girl in front of him, looking at her appearance that made his heart ache inexplicably.

"Dad! These are my two friends who came back with me. Where's Mom?"

After introducing the two in a perfunctory manner, He Lele went into the room to visit her mother. Her mother was a person who seemed carefree and always smiling, but she knew very well that because of her, her mother had shed countless tears behind people's backs for so many years, but once she went out, she would never frown!

"Mom? Why didn't you see a doctor if you weren't feeling well?"

"Girl..."

"Mom? What's wrong? Why are you crying? Does your heart hurt again? Dad!"

"Don't, don't call your dad! I'm fine."

"You still say you're fine, there's no color left on your face! I don't care, we're going to the hospital right now."

"Girl, Mom is fine, Mom is just..."

"Whether you're fine or not, let's hear what the doctor says first."

Seeing her mother just making excuses, He Lele took her mother to the hospital without a word.

"Dad, when did Mom start having angina? Did she have it before and was very careful, or did something special happen?" While her mother was being examined, He Lele asked her father.

"Nothing special, she was just happily laughing as usual. Ah! Right, I almost forgot, Angel Xiao Ya came back a few days ago—"

"Wait! Who?" In an instant, He Lele's voice changed.

"Angel Xiao Ya! That little girl you played with so well when you were young! Her dad is the mayor, remember?"

"... I remember." Of course, she remembered. "Did Mom meet her?"
