Chapter 384 It’s a matter of life and death!
The girl from Sichuan has survived. Although she is still a little weak, at least her fever has subsided. After a good night's sleep tonight, she will be a lively and energetic man again tomorrow.

Although Chuanmei has temporarily collapsed, the progress of the studio will not be delayed thanks to the help of the two female class leaders.

The two girls, Wang Jing, the class monitor, and He Xiaoyue, were both computer science majors, so they found this kind of editing work quite easy to learn.

After all, even someone with Wang's intelligence could learn it on his own. These two people had much better grades in their major courses than Wang, and they also had an experienced mentor. If they studied diligently, Wang would be able to delegate some of the work in about a week.

Because Wang Chu has worked with Chuan Mei the longest, he has already developed his own editing style and has also determined Li Shiya's style. As long as he keeps a close eye on the final video quality and provides guidance, the two girls should improve very quickly.

I don't know about other things, but He Xiaoyue may really be as she says, a natural-born person to do this job. After all, being able to accurately grasp online trends and decide what style of work to shoot is also a skill.

Previously, although Wang Chu and Chuan Mei had their own style in their works, what they filmed depended entirely on what had happened to them recently.

Simply put, if things remain calm for a few days, they might not even be able to publish their work.

For example, during the National Day holiday, if it weren't for the fact that there was some material beforehand that Director Wang had organized, he would have had to stop updating.

Despite this, the account data of Li Shiya, a girl from Sichuan, showed a significant decline during those days, a situation that only began to ease after she returned to school.

Lin Mo told Miss Yuan about Liu Ruyan asking her to go back to work, but Miss Yuan waved her hand dismissively and said she would talk about it later.

The Sichuan girl lay sprawled on the studio sofa, like a pupa, while Miss Yuan waited for the food street to open. As for Director Wang and the two female class monitors, they began their work.

Although it's already time to leave work, we're all acquaintances, so there's nothing to do going back so early. If we finish the video sooner, they can have an easier time tomorrow.

It can be said that although there are no strict rules in this small studio and the work is easy, everyone will take the initiative to do the work and there will be no slacking off. It has a pretty good working atmosphere.

After all, they were all college students who hadn't graduated yet, and they were all friends, so it was easy and comfortable for them to get along. As for work, they did it while having fun.

As darkness fell, the group finally noticed a row of identical food carts arriving to set up their stalls.

To be honest, the same vehicles, the same hairstyles, and the same opening and closing times make it obvious that this is an organized and disciplined group.

Even if someone really had ill intentions towards him, even if they found out the Sichuan girl's identity and knew about him, anyone who wasn't a fool could easily discover the clues about this snack street with a little observation.

Lin Mo didn't know if others could see through the clues, but Miss Yuan was quite happy. Before the car was even turned off, she ran off to order food.

After yesterday's opening day, news of the new food street has spread to several nearby universities, even attracting some regular vendors to set up stalls. In short, it's getting more and more lively, with significantly more foot traffic than yesterday.

However, the stalls on this food street are a bit strange. The stall owners never shout or solicit business, and the food carts are all clean. They don't even seem to care much about making money. They are all about a laid-back attitude.

Director Wang put an action camera on the Sichuan girl's head so she could go for a walk and gather more material.

"No, I'm a patient! I'm a patient! I'm sick, why are you making me go to work?" Chuanmei was pushed out of the store and couldn't help but turn around and question the group.

Upon hearing this, He Xiaoyue put her hands on her hips and said, "A patient? So what? You're all better now. Besides, if you, the boss, aren't even proactive at work, how can this studio possibly be any better?"
Furthermore, this studio is yours. Are you asking us to work hard for our benefit? Is making you earn money really harming you?

As the boss, you're not proactive at all in terms of the company's development. With a leader like you, when will we ever get promoted, receive a raise, buy a house, or a car?!

The class monitor nodded repeatedly. Although she came here mainly because of Director Wang, who wouldn't want a promising future in their job?

During the Three Kingdoms period, why are Liu Bei and Cao Cao considered wise rulers, while Sun Quan is not? It's because the former two had the ambition to unify the world, while the latter only wanted to protect his own small territory.

Your employees follow you to get promoted and make money. If a boss doesn't have any ambition, his employees won't have any hope, so how can they work hard?

When He Xiaoyue questioned her like that, the girl from Sichuan suddenly felt like she was back in high school.

The homeroom teacher stood on the podium and sternly criticized the students below: "Are you studying for me? I'm telling you to study hard so you can go to a good university, is that going to harm your mother? Even if you get a zero, I'll still get this salary. Who do you think I'm doing this for?" Blah blah blah.

"Okay, okay, I'll go, I'll go, alright!"

Since things had come to this point, the Sichuan girl had no choice but to join the group strolling through the night market.

Lin Mo watched in amazement. It was the first time he had ever seen a boss being urged to come to work by his employees. It was simply the opposite of what he expected!
After having dinner at the studio, Lin Mo left without waiting for the others. A video with good views and ads had just been released, earning money, so the employees were very enthusiastic. After all, higher studio revenue meant promotions and raises for them. Meanwhile, at the Liu family villa, Liu Ruyan and Ms. Cheng were having dinner at the dining table in the living room.

"Mom, look at you! You scared Dad so much he's afraid to come home," Liu Ruyan said while eating.

Upon hearing this, Ms. Cheng rolled her eyes at her daughter and spat, "You don't need to talk about me. After you get married, your husband will be the same."

"While Xiaolin is still young, and who knows what marriage will be like, hurry up and settle down to enjoy a few years. Otherwise, when he gets older, he won't even have time to avoid you!"

"No, that's not it. I didn't have any ideas because he's young. He's my classmate's cousin. I just wanted to tease the kid from the beginning, but then..." Liu Ruyan trailed off, lowering her head as if embarrassed.

Seeing this, Ms. Cheng covered her mouth and chuckled, "You were just teasing them, but in the end, you were the one who fell for them first."

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan lowered her head even further, and she even tried to recall when she had started to feel this way.

But upon reflection, she realized that it wasn't a single moment, but rather the inevitable result of many small fragments coming together.

Although she had no shortage of suitors since junior high school, over the years, as her family's financial situation improved and she herself became smarter, Liu Ruyan, who was aware of her beauty, was wary of any man who approached her with ulterior motives.

Simply put, throughout her life, although she seems to have many men pursuing her, she has hardly had any interaction with any of them, let alone gotten to know them.

On the contrary, Lin Mo's status as her classmate's cousin, coupled with his age of several years younger than her, made her less wary. As they spent more time together, she naturally developed some other feelings for him.

Of course, this is also based on Lin Mo's own 'excellence': a good appearance and the ability to occasionally produce things that she really needs. Without one of these conditions, the two of them would not be able to interact.

"I'm full, you can continue eating. I'm going back to my room." Feeling a little embarrassed, Liu Ruyan quickly finished her meal, got up, and ran upstairs.

Watching her daughter's retreating figure, Ms. Cheng shook her head with a smile: "This child, she's even embarrassed now. Apart from her appearance, she really doesn't resemble me at all!"

After dinner, Ms. Cheng went upstairs to rest, while Liu Zhengyuan lingered outside until midnight before returning home.

"It's this late, my wife should be asleep by now, right? Oh well, I'll have one last smoke before going upstairs."

Inside the car, Liu Zhengyuan lit a cigarette for himself, while the ground outside the car window was littered with cigarette butts.

There was nothing he could do; he was a bit scared of his wife these past few days. Although the changes in her face made him happy, his aging kidneys left him feeling powerless.

Five minutes later, Comrade Lao Liu tiptoed upstairs, carefully opened the bedroom door, and was about to get into bed when the bedroom light turned on.

"Wife, why aren't you asleep yet?" Liu Zhengyuan asked his wife, stammering slightly.

Ms. Cheng stretched and said, "I took a nap, but I couldn't sleep well until you came back. What are you standing there for? Go to bed!"

As she spoke, Ms. Cheng pulled Liu Zhengyuan onto the bed. Seeing his wife pressing him closer, Liu Zhengyuan gritted his teeth and pulled out a small, metallic toy from his clothes. It was a stress-relieving toy he had gotten from the driver earlier that day.

He then pointed the gun at his wife and yelled, "Don't move! If you move again, I'll shoot!"

Hearing this, Ms. Cheng smiled dismissively: "Every time, you've fired without me even lifting a finger."

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhengyuan was stunned for a moment, then realized what he meant: "Holy crap, you..."

But before he could finish speaking, Ms. Cheng pressed her hand to her lips and said seriously, "Don't talk about things you're not good at. People tend to show off what they lack, just like when you first made some money, you had the mentality of a nouveau riche."

Liu Zhengyuan:
"How dare you look down on me! Today I'll fight you to the death! We'll settle this once and for all!"

After saying that, Comrade Lao Liu went straight into the bathroom.

"Hey, where are you going?" Ms. Cheng asked.

Liu Zhengyuan: "Wait for me, let me wash my hands first!"
