Reborn and awakened, this time I won't be a love-struck fool.

Lin Si: "…………"

Jiang Fanxing was speechless.

I've seen people make excuses, but I've never seen anyone find the root of the problem.

The pot is also in a bad situation, having to take the blame.

After a difficult hour and a half, Lin Chuanqiong finally managed to serve eight dishes and a soup. Three of them were cold dishes, and the other two looked like pre-made dishes that had been heated in the microwave and then served.

Lin Chuanqiong took off his apron, clapped his hands, and said, "Wasn't Daddy awesome?"

Lin Xun cooperated fully and began clapping, "Awesome, awesome, awesome!"

Lin Si: "Mm."

Looking at the table full of dishes, Lin Chuanqiong felt more satisfied than if he had secured a contract worth billions.

Lin Xun rubbed his stomach. "Can we eat now?"

"Wait a little longer." Lin Chuanqiong took a tissue to wipe the water from his palms, picked up his phone and glanced at it. "Wait a little longer for your sister."

"..." Lin Xun looked surprised. "Is she coming too?"

"Yes, it's my birthday, so my whole family has to be together," Lin Chuanqiong said.

Lin Xun: "..."

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.

Just as Lin Xun was silent, the doorbell rang.

As the youngest member of the family, Lin Xun stood up and went to open the door on his own initiative.

Lin Wu smiled and said, "Long time no see, Lin Xiaobao."

"have not seen you for a long time."

Xu Jingwang, who was carrying a cake, chimed in.

"Long time no see," Lin Xun said with a smile. "Sister, you've lost weight, and brother-in-law, you've become even more handsome."

Lin Wu: "If I hadn't just stepped on the scale this morning, I would have believed your nonsense."

Xu Jingwang: "I've always been handsome, thank you."

……

After celebrating Lin Chuanqiong's birthday, Lin Wu threw herself into her busy work.

The boss is just so annoying.

Director Sui slammed his hand on the table. "Don't yell at me. Who's going to let you get away with this?"

Lin Wu took a deep breath. "I just want to know why my opinion was rejected."

"What's your opinion?"

Old Sui probably didn't want his hand to hurt from slamming the table, so he picked up his thermos and tapped it on the table. "I've already made myself perfectly clear. I don't agree with your opinion. Just do things my way."

"I don't like focusing the camera on the victims." Lin Wu leaned on the table, looking down at Lao Sui, who was sitting leisurely in his chair.

He has been gaining weight, and his belly has started to swell.

"Lin Wu, Lin Wu, you've been working for me for so many years, how can you still be so naive?" Old Sui said angrily. "You want to play the long game, to wait for time, for that woman to get over her trauma and reintegrate into society, but do you think many people would want to see that?"

He slammed his fist on the table with a deafening roar. "Social conflicts are getting bigger every day. Not many people want others to have a good life, you know? Everyone likes to see others suffer."

"Everyone likes to see other people's wounds, and what we need to do is attract attention."

His voice became hoarse from speaking.

Lin Wu met his gaze in silence, and after a few seconds said softly, "I don't think so."

Old Sui didn't expect her to be so persistent, as stubborn as an ox. He was so angry that his face turned black, like an angry rooster.

"Innocent."

He had high cheekbones and a cold gaze. "Do you think your naivety and enthusiasm can survive in this society where academic qualifications are devalued and people are treated like beasts of burden?"

"Whether it can be tolerated or not is not up to you, nor is it up to me," Lin Wu said, maintaining her posture. "Only time will tell."

"it is good."

Old Sui raised his voice, "I'm waiting to see how much you can achieve in the future."

"Then you just wait and see." Lin Wu's temper flared up as well. "At least for now, I still have the resources to make mistakes. I'm going to do things my way."

"Innocent."

Old Sui scoffed lightly, "I can give you a chance now. You decide, and we'll see how it goes in the end."

Lin Wu replied without hesitation, "Okay."

"I haven't finished speaking yet," Old Sui glared at her. "So impulsive."

Lin Wu suppressed the urge to retort, "Go ahead."

"If things don't turn out well in the end, you can leave on your own." Old Sui looked at her.

"..."

Lin Wu took a deep breath. "Okay."

Old Sui was stunned; he hadn't expected her to agree so readily.

He gripped the cup tightly. "You need to think this through. There are countless people outside who would kill to get this job. The moment you leave, someone else will come in, but it will be difficult for you to come back."

"I know."

Lin Wu's gaze was firm. "I didn't agree to this on a whim. I know exactly what I'm doing."

Old Sui frowned, even more puzzled.

"Are you really sure? Land in Beijing is incredibly expensive. If you lose your income, you'll be kicked out."

"I've really thought it through."

Lin Wu leaned closer and suddenly laughed, "Director, I think you're the one who hasn't thought this through. You look more panicked than I am."

"I've just never seen anyone as stupid as you."

Old Sui raised his chin, pointed to the door, and said, "You can get out now."

There are no secrets in the workplace.

The news of Lin Wu's "outrageous remarks" in the office spread throughout the entire company in less than a day.

Liu Lerong was even more shocked and kept cursing Lin Wu in the group chat, saying he was crazy.

After discussing it for a long time, everyone felt that she was too impulsive and too carried away, and that her mind was not clear right now.

I'll definitely regret it once I've cleared my head, and I'll definitely talk to Lao Sui to clear things up.

Even Lao Sui thought so.

He had already figured out how he should find fault and make things difficult for Lin Wu when she came to apologize.

As a result, he waited day after day, until summer vacation, but Lin Wu never admitted her mistake.

In early July, Zhu Xiaoju earned her first money and happily treated Lin Wu and Luo Xurou to a meal.

After a brief interview, the two left.

On the way to the bus, Luo Xurou thought of the messages in the group chat and hesitated before saying, "Lin Wu..."

"Um?"

Lin Wu looked down and replied to a message, "What's wrong?"

"Why don't you go and apologize to the director?" Luo Xurou said. "It really is the era of fragmented information now. People don't have much patience to read long articles anymore. Even the news needs an eye-catching headline."

"No need." Lin Wu put away her phone, smiled, and said, "I won't regret the decisions I make."

Unable to persuade her otherwise, Luo Xurou sighed and said, "Alright then."

"Thank you anyway."

Lin Wu sincerely thanked him again.

Luo Xurou said blankly, "You're welcome."

A hint of envy appeared in his eyes.

Because he has never been so carefree and indifferent.

Because from childhood, he was seen as a freak, a pervert, neither male nor female by others.

It wasn't until he came to a big city to study that he felt free.

However, his naivety and confidence were worn away long ago.

You should hesitate before doing anything.

That evening marked the final episode of "Home on the Road," a weekly show that had been airing for almost two months.
