Chapter 119: Shallow Relationship
Chapter 119: Shallow Relationship
In such busy days, Ren Qianshui rarely thinks about her past life. Sometimes she even has the illusion that she has not experienced anything in her past life and that everything is just her imagination.
But sometimes some things that happen in real life remind her that she had a previous life, but those things seem more like other people's experiences to her now, and she is just a bystander.
For example, Ms. Lin Hefang, who had not been in contact for a long time, was sitting next to Yu Qing to rest when her call was forwarded to her mobile phone again.
Yu Qing pointed to the incoming call on her phone, asking her if she should answer it herself. Ren Qianshui thought about it and felt that she hadn't contacted her family for a long time. After hesitating for a while, she finally answered the phone herself.
"Are you Ren Qianshui or the assistant?" As soon as the phone was picked up, an aggressive voice came from the receiver, which made people lose the desire to continue talking.
"it's me."
"You still know how to answer the phone? I thought I didn't even have this daughter!"
Hearing Ren Qianshui's voice, the person on the other end of the phone seemed a little surprised, but then his anger because he hadn't been able to contact him for some time was aroused, and sarcastic words came out without even thinking.
"Now that you've become a celebrity, you don't take me, your mother, seriously, right? Every time I call, either no one answers or the assistant does. How busy are you? Busier than the President of the United States?"
"What's the matter?" Ren Qianshui didn't want to hear these meaningless words.
Lin Hefang was interrupted and choked with displeasure. She wanted to continue cursing, but Ren Qianshui didn't give her the chance.
"If you don't tell me anything, I'll hang up."
"Wait——" Lin Hefang had finally caught her and definitely didn't want to die like this.
"How's the job I asked you to find for your brother Lin Heng going? If there's nothing else suitable, you can take him with you to film. Lin Heng said that the movie you filmed called Hamster Escape was pretty good, so you can just arrange a role for him in this TV series."
Ren Qianshui frowned when she heard this and wanted to hang up the phone. Is this something a normal person can say? Who is Lin Heng? Why does she assign a role to him? Does she really think she owns the crew?
Even if she had the final say, she wouldn't have stuffed someone like this into the crew. She's not crazy!
"It seems that your cousin Sun Feng is running her own business now. I heard from your aunt that it seems to be doing well. Now among you brothers and sisters, only Lin Heng has not found a job yet. You have to pay attention!"
When Ren Qianshui heard her talking about Sun Feng, it seemed that he didn't know that Sun Feng's current business was funded by him, otherwise the other party would definitely not have mentioned it so lightly as she did now.
"It's not like I haven't introduced him to a job before, but how did he do it? That was already the easiest job he could do, but he still didn't want to do it! Want to lie down and count money? Are you dreaming?"
"Well, those colleagues are all cunning. Your brother Lin Heng is simple-minded. How can he beat them? Just introduce him to a-"
"Ms. Lin Hefang, there are many jobs in Guangdong Province that don't require thinking. Ask Shao Yuanyuan to introduce him to a job in a factory. The kind that doesn't require thinking is most suitable for him."
Lin Hefang was choked again, and began to blame Qianshui in dissatisfaction: "You are capable now, so what's wrong with introducing a job to your brother? If not, ask him to be your assistant!"
"He comes to be my assistant? Then will he take care of me, or will I take care of him?"
"You are siblings, shouldn't you take care of each other? You——"
"I'll hang up if you're okay, I'm busy here!"
"Wait--" Seeing that Ren Qianshui was about to hang up the phone again, Lin Hefang quickly stopped her: "Okay, I won't talk about this anymore. I want to ask you, do you have a boyfriend?"
"Yes."
"Then why didn't you tell me and your dad? If your sister-in-law hadn't mentioned it, we wouldn't have known about it! Now I can't even raise my head in front of Xiao Wang's mother."
"What Xiao Wang?" Ren Qianshui was puzzled.
"That's your classmate, the civil servant. She said she was willing to wait for you to come back and get married! Alas, you quietly found someone from another place and didn't even bring her back to show us. I heard she's a celebrity? Mom is telling you, I heard that these celebrities have messy private lives. You should find someone reliable—"
"Beep, beep, beep—" Ren Qianshui hung up the phone unbearably and handed it back to Yu Qing, saying, "If my mom calls again in the future, you can answer it if you want to, but forget it if you don't want to."
She now transfers 3000 yuan per month to Lin Hefang and Ren Jiadong respectively for living expenses. It's not much, but definitely not a small amount. It's more than enough in Jiangcheng where the consumption level is not high.
However, if the old couple wanted to use the money to subsidize someone, that was not within Ren Qianshui's consideration.
She also hired a nanny for the two of them. Apart from taking care of their personal hygiene, they didn't have to do anything else. Even the relatives at home couldn't find anything to criticize her about.
Only Ren Qianli and Shao Yuanyuan had some opinions about this, because they couldn't possibly give so much to the old couple, and it would be unpleasant for others to say so. Ren Qianshui didn't care about that, she gave them a choice, either to share the expenses or shut up.
The two men shut up reluctantly when they realized that they could no longer control their sister like they did when they were children.
Yu Qing was not unfamiliar with this strange old lady, because she would call her almost every ten days or half a month, and she would answer the call depending on the situation. But every time the other party answered the phone, she would arrogantly criticize her.
If it weren't for Ren Qianshui's sake, she would have ignored the old lady a long time ago. Now that the boss has spoken, she will finally not have to suffer from her anymore.
In fact, Yu Qing couldn't understand it. If her parents had a child as outstanding as Ren Qianshui, they would get up even in their sleep to pray for the good fortune. But this old lady and the invisible old man didn't seem like normal parents. They were so biased!
Ren Qianshui already knew that the other party would not say anything nice when she called him. After once again confirming her position in the other party's mind, she still couldn't help feeling disappointed. It seemed that she was indeed born with a weak affinity. If it was not necessary in the future, she should not contact her again, lest she be the one who was upset in the end.
Thinking back, this kind of situation had happened more than once in my previous life. At that time, it was already difficult for me to make it in the entertainment industry, and my family members were holding me back.
In his previous life, Lin Heng also said that he wanted to join a film crew, so she introduced him to a job as a prop master's assistant. However, Lin Heng turned out to be a person with high expectations but low skills, who couldn't endure any hardship. Not only did he fail to do his job well, he also wanted to seduce a female star, and in the end she had to apologize to her.
She became disappointed with her so-called relatives because of this incident, and she drove them back to her hometown regardless of the attempts of several elders in her family to smooth things over. Lin Heng seemed to bear a grudge against her because of this incident, and later spread rumors and attacked her on a large scale on the Internet. As her relative, he also said some specious words, which made her already difficult situation worse.
She had originally planned to ignore him in this life, but Zhao Zihan introduced a job to the other party for her sake. Later, the other party did not perform well and someone complained to her. She only then found out about this and asked the employer to fire the person without hesitation.
She didn't take the initiative to retaliate against the other party now because she was kind-hearted, but if he came to her again, she couldn't guarantee that she would show mercy to him.
