PFC Chapter 737 Time to Go Back
Chapter 737 Time to Go Back
She was the first to buy a ticket, successfully getting two tickets for the same sleeper carriage.
I also bought myself a ticket for one more stop.
Lin Yuyao happily came to Tang Xiaofen with the repaired ticket in hand, saying, "It's been repaired."
Tang Xiaofen was taken aback. They actually filled it in?
While she was still in a daze, Lin Yuyao stuffed the ticket into her hand and said, "You take your things and go over first. I'll go pick up my mother."
It took Lin Yuyao quite a while to squeeze into the carriage where Ye Lian was. She gave the ticket to Ye Lian, who was also very surprised.
"You actually replaced it for you?"
Lin Yuyao smiled and said, "Of course, I can definitely make up for it."
"How much money did you compensate them?"
"Oh, let's not talk about money, let's pack our things and go." She urged her while helping her with her luggage.
It's just one stop away, and she won't have much time to travel; she'll have to get off soon.
Thankfully, it was the slow speed of the old green train. If it were the high-speed rail of the future, which would take only a short time to travel from the north to the south of the city, she wouldn't have been able to get a ticket.
The two squeezed into the sleeper car one after the other.
It took a lot of effort to finally reach the sleeper car.
Ye Lian was quite surprised to see Tang Xiaofen. The two knew each other; they met when Tang Xiaofen was collecting recyclables, but they weren't close.
"Little Tang is here too. Are you going back to your hometown?"
"Yes, I have some things to take care of when I get back. Auntie, let's keep each other company on the way."
"Oh, good, it's nice to have someone to keep me company. It'll be easier to go to the bathroom later."
Lin Yuyao briefly told them that they had arrived at the station in the south of the city, and then she got off the train.
After that, she still had to buy a ticket to go back, because her bus was still at the station in the north of the city.
On the train, Ye Lian and Tang Xiaofen started chatting. Tang Xiaofen said she was going back to transfer her household registration.
Ye Lian said, "Now that you're divorced, it's only right that you transfer your household registration. But that woman from the Wang family is a formidable character; she won't let you move easily."
Tang Xiaofen nodded. "Yes, if she's unwilling to give me her household registration book, I'll think of another way."
"Well, if that doesn't work, you should ask your family for help. Call a few more of your relatives. She's probably the kind of person who bullies the weak and fears the strong."
Tang Xiaofen gave an awkward smile. "We'll see."
Her family... If her family were reliable, she wouldn't have suffered so much.
……
Lin Yuyao returned at noon, and Chen Bingzhi rushed to find her as soon as she entered the company.
"You're finally back."
Lin Yuyao: "What's wrong?"
"Something's happened, take a look at this."
Chen Bingzhi placed a newspaper in front of her.
"We're going to collaborate with Jinghua Films to make a movie. To secure this collaboration, we sent people to visit the grassroots in Dongcheng for three months, just to see the reforms from a grassroots perspective and to express the theme of 'going to the sea' in a more realistic way."
But look at what the newspapers are saying about us! They're saying we're over-promoting speculation and profiteering. Don't you think these people are just being ridiculous? Our script is based on a true story; how is that promoting speculation and profiteering?
Lin Yuyao remained silent for a while before saying, "The story is about how the protagonist tries to get low-priced goods and sell them at high prices to make a profit. By their standards, this is indeed speculation."
Chen Bingzhi's lips twitched. "Why are you saying that too?"
Lin Yuyao looked up at him and said, "Don't let others lead you by the nose. Our focus shouldn't be on whether there is speculation or profiteering, but on whether doing business is legal in this era."
"Of course it's legal. Prohibiting speculation and profiteering is something from many years ago."
"That's settled then. Notify the public relations department and have them write a positive report. Our protagonist's actions aren't called speculation, but rather in line with the times. If you continue to curb the economy, go home and eat sweet potatoes."
"Okay, I'll go tell them right now."
"Wait a minute."
Chen Bingzhi grinned, "Does President Lin have any further instructions?"
"Find someone to investigate who did it."
Chen Bingzhi frowned. "You mean, someone is deliberately setting us up?"
Lin Yuyao had already read the script. It didn't specify how much money the protagonist earned. In the early stages, the protagonist suffered many hardships, such as being cheated, robbed, and receiving substandard goods. She couldn't understand why it was being overly promoted as speculation and profiteering.
So... she felt it was done by their rivals.
Lin Yuyao shared her thoughts with Chen Bingzhi.
Chen Bingzhi agreed with this assessment.
“We have a lot of competitors, but most of them are healthy competitors. The one who can’t stand to see us get rich is Lao Niu. I’ll have someone investigate him later to see if he’s the one who’s been sabotaging us behind the scenes.”
"Row."
They value this collaboration with Jinghua Film & Television very much.
In this era, private film and television companies began to emerge, but they were far from being comparable to state-owned ones.
Jinghua Films is currently the most influential domestic film company. They made significant concessions to secure the deal, hoping to leverage this collaboration to expand their influence in the film industry.
Old Niu has made enemies with all of them; it would be abnormal if he didn't cause some trouble.
She came late today and worked overtime before going home.
When I got home, Fu Huaiyi had already returned.
Fu Huaiyi was somewhat surprised that she rarely worked overtime after having a child.
Did you run into trouble at work today?
Lin Yuyao nodded. "There's a rival causing trouble."
"Trouble?"
"It's alright, I can handle it."
She squatted down to tease the little one who was playing on the sofa; he was already babbling incoherently.
They also express their needs through language.
The floor was kept very clean so that they could crawl around easily.
Under the care of professional nannies, the little ones have a very regular schedule and get sleepy after playing for a short time.
They left the child with the nanny to put him to sleep.
"If Grandma's alright, you won't go back, will you?"
"Ah."
“My mom said she’ll come over in a few days to see the child.”
Lin Yuyao nodded, "That's fine. If I don't go back, I'll just consider it a visit to the child. But... she's quite busy with work, will it interfere with her work?"
She was also worried about putting her mother-in-law in a difficult position.
"It's okay, I still have my dad. If we make arrangements beforehand, we can manage to squeeze in ten days or half a month."
The two chatted casually about their jobs, families, children, and the house they were renovating.
They will be living in this house for a long time, and it will also be where the children grow up. Lin Yuyao attaches great importance to it, and the renovation has been going on for more than half a year and it is still not finished.
When talking about housing and work, Fu Huaiyi felt somewhat ashamed.
He's a grown man who can't support his family and relies on his wife for sustenance. She can't even help with the house renovations, and the children need a nanny to take care of them.
Grandpa was right, he's really useless.
Lin Yuyao talked on and on for a long time, but didn't get a response from Fu Huaiyi.
She turned her head to look at him. "What's wrong?"
"Ahem, it's nothing, Yao Yao, you've worked hard."
Lin Yuyao smiled. "Why are you suddenly saying that?"
