Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 286 Zou Tao's Affair
"You should write a self-criticism."

"I won't write! I said I won't write, and I won't!"

"Well... logically speaking, you are a public figure."

"Then I won't write it!"

"Okay, I was just trying to give you some advice."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ma, I really didn't mean it that way."

"I know."

After leaving the TV station, Ma Xun followed Zou Tao to a quiet bar.

She said she'd treat everyone this time.

Ma Xun naturally couldn't refuse.

Naturally, the topic of divorce had to be discussed, especially since Zou Tao's identity was indeed quite unique.

Superiors place great importance on family matters.

Let alone a well-known host, even if she were just an ordinary cadre, the organization would still care about her.

Your boss asks you to write a self-criticism, so just write it.

It's quite obvious that Zou Tao, this well-known host, now wants to let loose and be herself.

You're letting yourself go... Ma Xun's response to this matter is naturally just to offer a few words of advice: "Go ahead and do your thing."

So, this thing focuses on companionship.

A quiet bar usually has singing, but it's also a bar and a place to drink.

Since Zou Tao wanted to let loose, he naturally started drinking again.

At this moment, Ma Xun...

"Don't just drink, eat some vegetables too."

That was definitely said out of good intentions, right?

Unfortunately, it was of no use.

Moreover, as Zou Tao drank, he became more talkative.

Am I a complete failure?

"No, you've been very successful."

"Really? But why is my marriage..."

"This is quite normal; many marriages fail."

Ma Xun chatted with her casually.

Once they started talking, the conversation became increasingly open and relaxed.

"Tell me, if I'm getting a divorce, why do I still have to..."

"Isn't this your line of work? In your line of work, you have to pay attention to your image. As for your family... well, that definitely has a lot of an impact. That's just how I see it."

Ma Xun understood what Zou Tao wanted to say.

Her marriage is her business; why should she explain it to others?
But in reality, it's not that simple.

She is a celebrity, and she was cultivated by a national-level platform, which naturally represents a great deal.

Her image is not her personal matter.

If something happens in the family, it will definitely have an impact.

Ma Xun remembers that a few years later in the original timeline, a well-known sports reporter had already reached the leadership level, but just before the Olympics, his wife caused a scene at the live broadcast.

That was an Olympic program, and they actually put on this show.

Family can really affect your career.

Of course, Ma Xun could understand why Zou Tao was so frustrated.

Zou Tao took another sip of wine; she was now slightly tipsy.

"Actually, I understand these principles, but when they apply to myself, they just feel really strange."

These were his honest thoughts, and Ma Xun nodded in agreement.

He added, "But many principles in this world are just that strange."

Zou Tao smiled, "That day when I heard you sing that song..."

"how?"

Was it written for her?

"I guess so, but I guess not."

"Why?" Zou Tao frowned.

"I can't say for sure either." Ma Xun's answer was quite profound.

Because I have too many women, it's impossible for me to write a song specifically for one of them.

The reason I sang that song that day was because it was called "Miss Dong".

That is, Dong Qing's surname is Dong.

And after singing this song, look at you, Zou Tao, aren't you asking this question now?

Of course, Ma Xun wouldn't say these things.

But Zou Tao was even more curious. "Tell me about it, okay?"

"Did not say."

"Go ahead."

"I just won't say."

These two seem to have had too much to drink.

Continuing to argue like this will naturally lead to no result.

Then Zou Tao suddenly asked, "What are your views on love?"

Ma Xun glanced at her twice.

It's obvious that Zou Tao must have loved her husband before the marriage ended.

But now that it has ended like this, she naturally has great doubts about love.

Thinking of this, Ma Xun said, "Tell me, is stealing money illegal?"

Zou Tao laughed, "Of course that's illegal."

What kind of question is this? Why are you asking it?

Ma Xun then asked, "What about having an affair?"

For a moment, Zou Tao was stunned.

Ma Xun then emphasized, "Is having an affair illegal?"

Zou Tao couldn't answer for a moment.

Ma Xun gave her the answer.

"Having an affair is not illegal. Even if two people are married, it is not illegal to cheat on each other."

So, is it possible that feelings are completely worthless?

This is the answer, and also the question.

Zou Tao was completely stunned. She dared to say that even without drinking, she still couldn't understand it.

Seeing her like this, Ma Xun said again, "I hope you understand that I don't mean to belittle love. I just want to say that what's given is given, and what's past is past."

It's nothing serious.

At this moment, Zou Tao felt a shock he had never experienced before.

She never expected that the man in front of her would be more insightful about life than she was.

Ma Xun knew it was about time. "I'll take you home."

After saying that, he threw down the money and left with the well-known host.

Not long after, Ma Xun drove Zou Tao to the building where she lived.

This property was bought by Ma Xun before. Now it's rented to her... but she's unconscious.

Forget it, just help them to the end.

Ma Xun then carried Zou Tao upstairs.

This is an old building; he originally planned to make a fortune from the demolition compensation.

He's really exhausted right now.

It's alright, it's only on the fourth floor.

Ma Xun was certain that if it were just one or two more floors higher, his back wouldn't be able to support it.

Actually, it's not that serious; Ms. Zou Tao's condition is quite mild.

But once inside... something suddenly happened!
"you……"

Ma Xun was taken aback because Zou Tao had kissed his cheek.

The well-known host, Zou Tao, looked flustered at that moment.

But her hands wrapped around Ma Xun's neck.

He kissed her again.

This time it was accurate; Ma Xun's mouth was gagged.

Ma Xun naturally enjoyed the beautiful host's verbal skills for a while.

But after we parted, he said, "You've had too much to drink."

Was he really drunk?
Zou Tao stared at him and said, "What did you say before?"

"What?" Ma Xun had no idea which sentence she was referring to.

"Having an affair is not illegal," Zou Tao gave him the answer.

That's true... I just said that.

But right now... Ma Xun was a little dazed, and as a result, he naturally couldn't hold the person with his hands.

Zou Tao landed smoothly on both feet, but this time, she was even bolder.

He took the initiative again, but his other hand...

"You've had too much to drink!" He grabbed one of the hands.

Zou Tao, the beautiful and dignified female host who appears poised and knowledgeable on screen, now had a captivating look in her eyes.

"Just pretend I had too much to drink."

These words and her expression were actually based on the feeling she had just received from her hands.

Yes, she has enough confidence.

Ma Xun puffed out his cheeks, but he still intended to restrain himself, because for him, there was no need to be in such a hurry.

Unexpectedly, Zou Tao pressed forward again, practically sticking right up to him.

"Did you do something at the hotel that day?"

Ma Xun shook his head. "I didn't do anything."

Zou Tao laughed, his original composure turning into a flirtatious grin. "What did you and Dong Qing do, right?"

This is a somewhat subtle way of putting it, but it's enough.

But then…

"Don't you feel more attracted to me?"

Now that things have come to this point, Ma Xun naturally doesn't need to endure anything anymore.

In fact, because she left the TV station in a hurry, she is still wearing a suit skirt that looks good on camera.

But having an affair can be quite exciting.

……

Chen Hao just graduated this year.

But in fact, she had already found a job.

Hosting programs on television.

Of course, she is still taking on roles, but there aren't any particularly good ones at the moment.

But on this day, her boss came to see her.

"My dear Miss Chen, you really have a strong constitution!"

"Sister Hong, I'm so embarrassed by what you're saying."

Sister Hong looks radiant now, probably because she's getting older and has some hair loss.

But her face is still very striking.

As Chen Hao's boss, Sister Hong has been on vacation recently.

But it's nothing, at least it has little impact on Chen Hao, since she wasn't really into her work anyway.

But this time...

"The Return of the Condor Heroes?"

"That's right, this is a super big project. A lot of people are eyeing this film, so you'd better hurry up."

"But who am I playing?"

"You'll find out when the time comes, just be prepared."

"Um... I'm not going to be playing Little Dragon Girl, am I?"

"You're too tall. Little Dragon Girl should be called Little."

"Really? But I think that Sister Ruotong is quite tall too."

"She's not tall, but you are rather tall."

"This this……"

"Alright, hurry up and get ready. Oh, and read more novels lately."

Chen Hao listened to all of Hong Jie's advice.

But this time she still had some minor problems.

Or rather, it was inner unease.

Because I'll be seeing Mr. Ma Xun again this time.

His reputation now seems to be...

play!
Why not act!
Once Chen Hao made up his mind, he began preparing for "The Return of the Condor Heroes".

Little did she know that at the same time, another girl was also very surprised.

……

"What? You want me to play Lu Wushuang?"

"That's right, isn't this role pretty good?"

"This……"

"This is a great opportunity; you must seize it."

"Oh."

Wang Zhi is currently preparing for exams when her mother unexpectedly accepted a job offer for her.

This Lu Wushuang... seems pretty good.

Of course, she had actually heard about the play a long time ago.

This is currently a very important big-budget production in the industry, and many people are paying close attention to it.

If I could participate in it, I might just ascend to immortality.

Well... I'm not thinking about ascension anymore, I'll just focus on playing Lu Wushuang well for now.

It seems that this character, to use a Northeastern accent, is a bit of a troublemaker.
