Chapter 671 Yang-ge, I miss you
Jiang Yang didn't pay attention to the group messages.
The phone screen displayed a message from Manager Wang:
"Mr. Jiang, the renovation of your company is complete. Also, the recruitment process you entrusted us to handle has been finalized. Would you like us to update you on it?"
Jiang Yang quickly typed a reply, sending a message to the other end: ["Sister Wang, please explain in detail. I have a general idea of what to say. Let's chat via voice."]
Jiang Yang made a voice call.
My fingertip is pressing the voice playback button.
After the resumes were screened, they connected us with three universities in Yancheng and surrounding cities.
There are Yancheng Teachers College, Yangzhou University, and Nantong University.
We are specifically collecting resumes from recent graduates majoring in media, Chinese language and literature, computer science, and other new media-related fields.
Nearly one hundred applications met the initial screening requirements.
The package will be sent to Jiang Yang in a little while, and Jiang Yang will then do a second screening.
The next step is to arrange in-person interviews, which will be held in the conference room of the company's new premises.
The agency takes the money and does the job, which involves notifying graduates, setting up interview venues, and the interviewers are arranged by Jiang Yang.
After the interview, they will help compile the list of hired employees, notify the graduates to complete the onboarding procedures, liaise with the university's employment office, and assist with matters such as file transfer and registration certificate. Once all these are completed, Jiang Yang will transfer the final payment.
During the brief pause in their conversation, Jiang Yang glanced sideways at Zhao Jinmai.
He saw the little girl staring straight at him, her round little face puffed out and her brows furrowed.
He looked sullen.
What happened to MaiMai?
Oh, I remember now, I was just bickering with MaiMai.
Mai Mai is probably still sulking with him.
Jiang Yang couldn't help but laugh at her huffy and puffy appearance.
The moment their eyes met, Zhao Jinmai bristled and yelled, "What are you looking at? Do you think your eyes are on me? Your luggage has arrived, do you even know that? All you do is dawdle and talk on the phone. Chaoyue is waiting for us outside. How much longer are you going to make him wait?"
Jiang Yang was still holding his phone: "Hold this for me, Mai Mai, I'm a bit busy right now. I'm still coordinating with the agency about the company recruiting."
Zhao Jinmai pursed her lips.
With a reluctant expression, he muttered, "Fine, I'll help!"
She turned and strode quickly toward the baggage claim conveyor belt, carefully searching for Jiang Yang's luggage.
I remember Jiang Yang's suitcase was black.
It has Pleasant Goat cartoon stickers on it.
She had put it up for Jiang Yang before. Originally, she was going to put up a picture of Boiling Sheep, but Jiang Yang absolutely refused, so she changed it to Pleasant Goat.
For some reason, Jiang Yang seems to be very averse to Fei Yangyang.
Boiling Sheep is a bit dark-skinned, but he's still very cute.
After searching for a while, I finally spotted Jiang Yang's black suitcase.
The handle of the suitcase.
Pull upwards with all your might.
Jiang Yang's suitcase wasn't incredibly heavy, but being small, she pulled it until her face turned red. She carefully dragged the suitcase aside and continued searching for her own pink little suitcase.
After finishing, Zhao Jinmai dragged two suitcases to Jiang Yang's side, stopped, and was about to yell at Jiang Yang: "You made me angry, you have to coax me, otherwise there's no point in me coming to Yancheng."
The words had barely left his mouth.
Seeing that Jiang Yang was still holding his phone, his brows were slightly furrowed.
They seemed to be seriously discussing his company's hiring.
Zhao Jinmai stopped shouting, afraid of disturbing Jiang Yang.
She simply stood silently beside him, her small hand gripping the handle of Jiang Yang's suitcase. She took out her phone, quickly typed a message, and sent it to Jiang Yang: "[Pamper me a little. You're the adult, I'm the child. You have to give in to me.]"
After sending it, I thought for a moment and added another message: ["When I grow up and you have children, I will still give in to your children. I won't lie to you; the children won't tell."]
Jiang Yang was still chatting with Sister Wang: "The process is very detailed, so we'll do it your way. Pack up your resume and send it to me as soon as possible. I'll send you the interview time tonight, and I'll arrange for someone from my team to conduct the interviews. You should prepare in advance. Also, make sure the interview venue is set up formally to leave a good impression."
"Don't worry, Mr. Jiang!"
Sister Wang replied readily: "I will pack up your resume and send it to you this afternoon. We will arrange the interview venue a day in advance."
"In addition, if there are any problems during the recruitment process, please communicate with me in time. We must strictly follow the requirements we agreed on before and give priority to candidates with solid professional knowledge and strong learning ability."
"Understood, understood. Don't worry, Mr. Jiang, we will definitely keep strict standards and live up to your trust!"
The company renovation is complete, and the recruitment process is also in place. All that's left is for everyone to arrive in Yancheng so that we can officially start all the company's affairs.
I never expected that they would be able to turn shell companies into legitimate businesses so quickly.
no way.
To produce this film or television series independently, you need a company just for submitting the script and getting it approved; otherwise, it will be a major hurdle.
Let's just make it look decent.
The call ended.
Jiang Yang glanced at the messages in the [Pretty Girl Battle 4] group.
It's normal that Ruth knows how to distinguish between gay men; she's from Chengdu.
But Mai Mai said she'd pry open his anus tonight, and Mai Mai is absolutely capable of doing that.
I need to stay away from McDonald's tonight.
Let her break free and leap ahead.
A truly exceptional rural kid, resistant to viruses, hunger, beatings, scoldings, and even depression.
I don't want to argue with him, I want to make up, but I'm too proud to admit it.
She's as stubborn as a rock, but soft-hearted as cotton. She cares deeply, but pretends to be indifferent.
Awkward and stubborn.
Childish and cute.
That's just how teenagers are.
When I first boarded the plane, I gestured with my head in front of him. My head only reached his neck. I stubbornly said, "Xiao Jiang, you wait and see. In two years, I'll definitely be taller than you. I'm growing really fast now."
On the plane, he fell asleep watching Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, only to be woken up by Zhao Jinmai. Zhao Jinmai, clinging to the window with bright, sparkling eyes, excitedly exclaimed, "Xiao Jiang, this is my first time in Yancheng!"
"Why are you so happy? Haven't you been to a seaside city before? Even Shanghai is one."
"How can that be the same? What do you know?"
Zhao Jinmai grinned and waved her hand: "I used to come with my mom, but it was all about work, so I didn't have time to play. Now it's different. I go out and play with my friends on my own. Without a guardian to supervise me, I am the person in charge of myself. It feels so fulfilling. Xiao Jiang, if there's anything you don't understand while you're out and about, just ask me, and I'll explain it to you clearly!"
After saying that, he took out his phone and started taking pictures of the scenery outside the window.
She sent it to her mother, editing the text: ["Mom, I'm almost in Yancheng. Chaoyue is waiting for us. I'm taking good care of Xiaojiang. I'll be back after a few days of fun."]
After sending the message, I realized there was no signal.
After getting off the plane and regaining signal, Zhao Jinmai immediately checked WeChat.
I didn't see my mother's reply.
I don't know why, but when my mom used to be very strict with me, I was especially annoyed by any messages from her.
Now that Mom has let go, I always want to tell her everything I do while I'm away.
Yesterday, after finishing the show recording, I returned to the hotel and video chatted with my mother for over an hour.
She talked about how she and Jiang Yang worked together in the studio to perform that scene well.
Tell me how the director praised her.
They talked about how well she performed.
Jiang Yang has always protected her. It was her first time on a variety show, and she was a little nervous at first, but once she got into the rhythm, she was able to handle it easily. She just needs to wait for the show to air.
As they chatted, she realized that her mother was just smiling at her, but couldn't quite keep up with what she was saying, and didn't understand much of what she was saying.
I don't understand why her seemingly exaggerated actions on the show aren't genuinely willful, but rather a relaxed feel required for variety shows.
I don't understand the tacit cooperation between her and Jiang Yang, which parts were rehearsed in advance and which were improvised on the spot.
All the mother knew was that her child had seized the opportunity, gained fame, and was happy and safe.
At that moment, she realized that her mother had truly let go of her.
My phone vibrated.
Upon discovering it was a message from her mother, Zhao Jinmai disregarded her pout and sulking with Jiang Yang, waiting for him to coax her.
She took out her phone and saw a message from her mother: ["It's good that you're safe. Try not to go to remote places. Stay with Jiang Yang as much as possible. Don't always let Jiang Yang spend money when you're out. Be generous too."]
[“I know, I’m not as stingy as Chao Yue. The production team has already paid my appearance fee.”] Zhao Jinmai typed back: [“Mom, what are you doing?”]
"Let's watch TV. We don't have classes during summer vacation now. Let's go play mahjong this afternoon."
Mom sent another message: [“MaiMai, stop calling Jiang Yang ‘Little Jiang’ all the time. I was reading your message so fast I just realized it. You said you’re taking good care of Jiang Yang, it makes me want to laugh. You’re doing well enough taking care of yourself. You need to be polite to Jiang Yang, you know? He’s going to have a really good future, so don’t cause any trouble with him.”]
"Got it." Zhao Jinmai typed. She's always so nagging.
She should be careful about her safety, her diet, her manners, and her interpersonal relationships.
I used to find it annoying, I don't know why, but now when my mom says it like this, it actually sounds quite comforting.
Of course, I wouldn't tell my mother about my argument with Jiang Yang.
I was afraid my mother would worry.
Zhao Jinmai continued typing: ["Xiao Jiang and I are friends for life. He doesn't mind me calling him Xiao Jiang, just like Bai Lu doesn't mind us calling her 'Dog Sister'."]
"Dog Sister? Did you give her a random nickname? It's awful, it sounds like a dog dealer."
"There's also someone at Jiangyang Company called Sister Ma."
"It's not good either, but it's a little better than 'Dog Sister.' It would be much better if it were Mazu."
Zhao Jinmai chuckled as she read, and continued typing: ["There's another one named Chunbao."]
The mother replied: ["That sounds much better, like a well-behaved and sensible child... I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going to play mahjong. Don't think I'm being long-winded. Be good while you're away, don't cause Jiang Yang any trouble. When you get to Chaoyue's house, remember to buy a gift for Chaoyue's family, and be a little sweet-talking."]
["knew."]
Zhao Jinmai typed out a few words: ["Love you, Mom."]
"Mom loves you too."
After chatting with her mother, Zhao Jinmai had a smile on her face.
When her mother learned that she was safe, she felt much more at ease.
“Mai Mai”.
Hearing Jiang Yang call her, Zhao Jinmai turned around with a smile on her face: "What?"
"Alright, let's go."
Upon hearing this...
Zhao Jinmai paused for a moment before remembering that she was sulking with Jiang Yang.
She immediately stopped smiling, grabbed her suitcase from Jiang Yang, and walked towards the arrival gate: "I don't even want to talk to you. You keep threatening to tell my mom. I just told my mom that you bullied me."
Jiang Yang watched her sullen back and couldn't help but laugh.
He quickly caught up with Mai Mai.
Jiang Yang grabbed Mai Mai's suitcase handle: "Mai Mai, are you still angry?"
Zhao Jinmai heard his voice, but didn't stop or turn around.
Release the suitcase directly.
Her shoulders were tense, her hands were behind her back, she deliberately turned her face to the side, pouted, and didn't even glance in his direction.
It was obvious that they were ignoring Jiang Yang.
Feeling that awkwardness, Jiang Yang took out his phone and snapped a picture.
Then, softening her tone, she called out, "Sister Mai."
He shouted very sincerely.
Zhao Jinmai's lips curled up slightly, and her anger subsided considerably.
I still can't bring myself to do it.
She didn't turn around or respond; she simply slowed her pace slightly, waiting for Jiang Yang to continue coaxing her.
Jiang Yang saw through her little scheme, raised his voice, and called out with a smile, "President Mai."
Zhao Jinmai turned around and glanced at Jiang Yang.
In a haughty tone, speaking with a Shenyang accent: "What's up? Stop following me around, it's so annoying."
"It's nothing, I just think those teachers who monopolize PE class are so awful. It's our time to play, but they insist on taking up math and English classes. Honestly, just thinking about it makes me so frustrated."
"Yup!"
Mai Mai has no interest in gossip, she doesn't want to listen to talk about making money, and she can walk away without looking back when it comes to how to curse someone. But when it comes to topics related to studying, especially complaining about teachers, Mai Mai's eyes light up.
She frowned, her voice rising with agitation: "Absolutely! I hate that math teacher the most. He hogs our PE class every day, saying PE isn't important and that only good math can get us high scores. What's the use of getting high scores if we're sitting still all day? What if we get sick from sitting like that? And the English teacher too, he's just filling in too many classes, one after another, without any breaks between classes. We don't even have time to go out and get some fresh air. It's so stifling!"
Mai Mai got more and more excited as she talked.
He spoke much faster.
Jiang Yang launched into a barrage of complaints: "Let me tell you, in my third year of junior high, the last PE class was supposed to be very meaningful, since we were all graduating and wouldn't be able to have it again. But then the English teacher came and took up the class, saying we had to do a dictation test. After that, we got a test, and I didn't even get to enjoy PE that day. I was so angry! And then there was homework, piled up like a mountain. I was doing homework until midnight..."
Jiang Yang listened quietly, nodding occasionally in agreement: "Indeed, indeed."
After Mai Mai finished complaining...
Jiang Yang then changed the subject: "When I was in junior high school, it was the same. The teachers always said that if you don't study hard when you're young, you'll regret it when you're old. They forced us to do a lot of practice problems every day. But what I hated most back then was history class. History was on the test, and we had to memorize so many dates and events. I couldn't remember them all. What about you? What subject do you hate the most?"
Zhao Jinmai immediately chimed in: "I hate math the most. Those formulas and word problems give me a headache. The teacher always criticizes me, saying that I don't put my heart into it. I don't want to either, but I just can't learn it."
Jiang Yang smiled and said, "I understand. Math is indeed difficult. I used to make a lot of mistakes too. But I figured it out and found some tricks. I'll teach you when I have time. By the way, do you still have to memorize texts now? I remember when I was in junior high, I would be punished by standing if I couldn't memorize them."
"Yes, yes!"
Zhao Jinmai nodded repeatedly, then started complaining again: "We also have to memorize long texts, especially those classical Chinese texts. If we can't memorize them, we have to copy them. My hands are sore from copying so much. Sometimes I memorize until midnight, but I still forget them the next day. The teacher always checks on us, and I get nervous when they check on us. When I get nervous, I forget the words. It's so embarrassing!"
After venting for a while, Zhao Jinmai's anger subsided.
She scratched her head, her tone softening, and said a little embarrassedly, "Okay, okay, I'm not angry, actually."
"Really?" Jiang Yang said with a smile.
Zhao Jinmai glared at him and retorted stubbornly, "I'm not that childish, unlike you, so petty. By the way, where are we going to play later?"
Jiang Yang said with a smile, "Let's grab a bite to eat first, then wander around and get familiar with Yancheng. Tomorrow, once everyone's here, we can go to my company together. The new place is all renovated, so we can check it out. Oh, by the way, I've thought of something fun, want to try it?"
Zhao Jinmai's eyes lit up: "What's fun?"
"How about you try delivering food for fun?" Jiang Yang said. "Hao Chun is delivering food with Ye Zi, and he's really into it. He says it can help improve his acting skills. You should try it out too."
"I'm not giving it to you! Do you think I'm like Hao Chun, with naturally fair skin? I got tanned, and it'll take me a long time to get my fair skin back... Xiao Jiang, are you holding a grudge because I was angry with you earlier and you're deliberately trying to trick me?"
"How did you know Hao Chun got a tan? I didn't tell you."
Zhao Jinmai raised her chin and said, "I saw the photos Hao Chun sent you. You're all tanned, and Zhou Ye is even more tanned, shiny black."
At the arrival gate, some people were looking down at their phones, while others were tiptoeing through the crowd searching.
lively.
hurry.
Passengers dragging suitcases hurried past.
After only a few seconds, Zhao Jinmai's eyes lit up. She immediately recognized Yang Chaoyue in the crowd and waved her little hand vigorously: "Chaoyue! Chaoyue is here!"
Jiang Yang followed Zhao Jinmai's gaze.
Yang Chaoyue was wearing a simple white T-shirt.
She wore dark-colored athletic shorts.
She was wearing a pair of clean white sneakers.
Her hair was casually combed back, revealing a smooth forehead, and she wore no makeup.
It exudes the simplicity and straightforwardness of a rural boy.
He was carrying a canvas bag and his eyes were searching through the crowd.
Hearing Zhao Jinmai's shout, Yang Chaoyue looked up and glanced over, his gaze sweeping over Zhao Jinmai before landing on Jiang Yang.
His eyes brightened, and he waved vigorously, "Brother Yang, over here, I'm here!"
They chatted and laughed all the way to the airport exit.
I took a taxi to the hotel I had booked.
Yang Chaoyue first escorted Zhao Jinmai into her room, then carried Jiang Yang's black suitcase and followed behind Jiang Yang.
As soon as Jiang Yang opened the door, Yang Chaoyue quickly stepped forward and closed the door behind him.
Deadbolt.
"Brother Yang, let me tell you, my sister is on summer vacation and comes to visit me every now and then. My mom has gained some weight recently and her complexion is much better. And my dad has learned to watch web dramas on his phone. He always watches war dramas, the kind that are very exaggerated, like tearing Japanese soldiers apart with bare hands."
As Yang Chaoyue spoke, he quickly walked to Jiang Yang's side.
She reached out to help him take off the backpack from his shoulder.
As he took off his backpack, he kept muttering to himself, "Haochun and Yezi got tanned from delivering food, Xiwei is on a variety show, and Ruosi and Ruonan are going to be sophomores. Time really flies. I've been back in my hometown for almost a month..."
The voice just fell.
Yang Chaoyue casually tossed his backpack onto the bed.
Seeing this, Jiang Yang quickly scolded, "Don't throw them away! Mai Mai's bags of Little Masterpieces are all in my bag. She likes to eat them whole. If they get crushed, she'll definitely blame me for not keeping them safe for her."
Jiang Yang was muttering to himself.
Suddenly, he felt a softness on his back as Yang Chaoyue pressed against him.
She gently wrapped her arms around his waist from behind, rested her head on his shoulder, and whispered, "Brother Yang, I missed you." (End of Chapter)
