Tiny Genius Alert! Mom & Dad Better Make Peace-Chapter 528 - 488: Jun and Your Liangsheng Ending, Part 2: Living Together 2
Jian Liangtong took a deep breath, so there really is no such thing as a "free lunch" in this world.
This is how life works: when you eat from others, your mouth softens; when you take from others, your hands soften!
Sighing inwardly, Jian Liangtong turned around holding Hao Hao, smiled at Ruan Chen, though her smile seemed a bit forced, "Mr. Ruan, do you need anything else?"
Ruan Chen felt like laughing when he saw her like that, but he tightened his lips and held it in.
He seriously pushed open the car door and got off, walked past the front of the car and came to Jian Liangtong, took the suitcase from her hand, and said, "It’s too late now, it’s not safe for you to be alone with the child. I’ll escort you upstairs first and then leave."
Jian Liangtong’s eye twitched slightly, "Isn’t that necessary?"
"It’s just a few steps, let’s go." Ruan Chen said.
"..."
Initially, she thought Ruan Chen would indeed leave after escorting them upstairs.
Only when he really got inside did Jian Liangtong deeply realize that compared to this seasoned, crafty old fox, she was still too naïve!
As soon as he got in, Jian Liangtong didn’t even close the door, thinking he would leave soon.
Who would have thought he would say he was thirsty and wanted to drink water.
Out of humanitarian spirit, Jian Liangtong poured him a glass of water.
Thinking he would say he should be leaving after drinking?
But then he said he wanted to borrow the restroom.
After borrowing the restroom, surely he should be leaving!
But then he said.
He hadn’t had dinner!
And kindly informed her.
The restaurant had prepared a meal for three; she and Hao Hao can’t finish it all, so it’d be a waste, better if he eats it before leaving!
Jian Liangtong, "..." What else could she say!
The meal ordered from the restaurant was delivered past ten o’clock, and by the time they finished eating, it was almost eleven.
Seeing that Hao Hao was really tired, Jian Liangtong took him to the room to wash up.
After Hao Hao was sound asleep, Jian Liangtong turned off the lights and walked out from the inside.
"Is Hao Hao asleep?" The man’s voice suddenly sounded, causing Jian Liangtong’s back to stiffen in surprise. She widened her almond eyes, glancing at the man sitting casually on the sofa, furrowing her brows, "Why are you still here?"
She thought that no matter how "thick-skinned" a person could be, he should have left by now!
She really underestimated him!
Gazing at the utterly speechless little face of Jian Liangtong, Ruan Chen’s face showed not the slightest hint of a reaction, and he naturally said, "If the host isn’t here, how can I rudely leave without saying goodbye?"
"What’s wrong with that." Jian Liangtong took a deep breath, rushed to the door, opened it, and looked at Ruan Chen, "Take care on your way out, no need to see you off."
"..." Only then did the corner of Ruan Chen’s eye twitch a bit, as he slowly stood up from the sofa and walked toward the door.
Jian Liangtong moved aside.
Ruan Chen stopped in front of her for a moment before stepping out.
His foot had just stepped out of the room.
With a bang.
The door closed ruthlessly behind him!
Ruan Chen, "..."
Seeing Ruan Chen off, Jian Liangtong let out a sigh of relief, hurriedly cleaned up the dining table, and tied up her hair to take a shower in the bedroom.
After finishing her shower, Jian Liangtong applied a layer of face mask and let herself fall into the soft big bed, closing her eyes.
More than ten minutes passed, and Jian Liangtong remained still, as quiet as if she had already gone to sleep.
But suddenly, her slender body started to shiver gently.
Bit by bit, she curled up, tightly hugging her knees, forming herself into a ball.
The face mask on her face became very wrinkled, her breathing became increasingly rapid, with occasional sounds similar to suppressed sobs escaping her throat.
Gradually, the sound grew louder, until it was clear she was crying.
Yet her eyes remained tightly shut, her eyelashes damp in clusters.
Click.
The door opened from the outside.
Hao Hao, wearing cartoon pajamas and holding a small pillow, stood at the door with his messy hair, his white, tender little feet barefoot.
His drowsy big eyes instantly cleared when he opened the door and heard Jian Liangtong’s cries.
Hao Hao dropped the pillow in his hand and ran barefoot toward the big bed.
Quickly climbing onto the bed, Hao Hao reached out his little hands from behind to hug Jian Liangtong, his small face illuminated pure white by the starlight shining through the window.
"Mom, don’t be afraid, Hao Hao is here with you." Jian Chenghao gently patted Jian Liangtong’s tense arms, his small voice trembling.
Perhaps she heard Hao Hao’s voice.
Jian Liangtong gradually stopped crying, though her body remained tightly curled, like a defenseless infant.
Hao Hao kept hugging Jian Liangtong until he felt her calming down a bit, and then, unable to resist sleepiness, he lay face down on her back and fell asleep.
The morning sunlight poured in from outside the window, casting long shadows under Jian Liangtong’s drooping long black eyelashes, resembling the wings of a butterfly, particularly beautiful.
The warmth from behind felt like a small furnace surrounding her.
Jian Liangtong fluttered her long eyelashes and slowly opened her eyes, squinting as the blinding sunlight hit her.
After a moment’s pause, Jian Liangtong stretched slightly and turned to look behind her.
When she saw Hao Hao, his small face flushed red with sleep, sticking to her back, the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but curl upwards as she reached out to gently stroke his soft hair.
"Mom..." Hao Hao suddenly mumbled.
Jian Liangtong thought he was awake, and the lines on her bright little face softened, "Mom..."
"Dad," Hao Hao murmured again, his voice light but clear enough for Jian Liangtong to hear distinctly.
Jian Liangtong’s gentle face suddenly stiffened.
GR Entertainment Company is the best-developed entertainment company now, following the decline of the New Talent Film and Television Entertainment Company four years ago.
Jian Liangtong is a signed agent of GR Entertainment Company.
Since Yuan Chi is at the age for military service, he had to return to South Korea to complete his two-year military duty before continuing his acting career.
Therefore, Jian Liangtong was recruited by the company as soon as she returned to the country.
GR Building, Director’s Office.
Director Zhang Shi handed a stack of resumes to Jian Liangtong, "These are some promising young talents the company has recently discovered. The company plans to develop them. You and Wendy will each take two or three."
"...Me and Wendy?" Jian Liangtong took the resumes, flipped through them casually, and looked at Zhang Shi somewhat incredulously.
Wendy is a top agent in the entertainment industry!
By dividing these newcomers between her and Wendy, isn’t the company trying to pit them against each other, to see whose artists will develop better in the future?
Compared to Wendy, the veteran agent, she’s just as green as green can be, isn’t she?
Is this arrangement really reasonable?
Zhang Shi seemed not to understand Jian Liangtong’s astonishment, frowned slightly, and asked, "Is there a problem?"
Um...
"No," Jian Liangtong smiled.
"Since there are no problems, take these resumes and discuss with Wendy which artists each of you will manage," Zhang Shi said.
"Okay," Jian Liangtong said.
Zhang Shi nodded, waved his hand, indicating she could leave.
Only then did Jian Liangtong leave the Director’s Office.
As fate would have it, she didn’t walk far from the Director’s Office before running into Wendy, accompanied by an assistant, walking towards her.
Wendy exuded a powerful presence, striding with head held high, transforming the hallway into a catwalk.
Jian Liangtong smacked her lips twice discreetly, and when Wendy came close, just about to walk past her, she raised her volume slightly, "Sister Wendy."
Wendy and her assistant stopped, turned to look at Jian Liangtong, their eyes filled with confusion and a hint of annoyance at the interruption.
Jian Liangtong curled the corner of her mouth slightly, held up the resumes, and said, "The company plans to develop newcomers, Director Zhang asked me to discuss with Sister Wendy..."
Before Jian Liangtong could finish, Wendy took the resumes from her hand.
There were six resumes in total, Wendy didn’t even look at them, directly took the top three, stuffed the remaining three back to Jian Liangtong, and asked her with a frown, "Any other questions?"
"..." Jian Liangtong slowly clenched the resumes in her hand, shook her head with a smile, indicating she had none.
Wendy casually handed the resumes to her assistant and continued to stride ahead with her assistant.
Jian Liangtong watched Wendy’s straight back, blinked, shrugged lightly, and left the GR Building.
At noon, Jian Liangtong took advantage of taking Hao Hao out for lunch to meet the three artists she would manage.
In a well-appointed Chinese restaurant.
Jian Liangtong and Hao Hao sat on one side, the three artists sat on the other side.
"Zhang Le Yi, Wang Er, Xu Jiaren," Jian Liangtong looked at them across the table, reciting from the resumes in her hand.
"Hello, Sister Tong," Zhang Le Yi gave a shy smile to Jian Liangtong, a smile revealing two pleasing dimples, her large, round eyes resembling grapes.
"I hope Sister Tong will guide us well," Wang Er said, his handsome young face tinged with redness, scratching his short hair dyed in granny gray.
"Sister Tong," Xu Jiaren was the most reserved among them, clearly slow to warm up, but the muscles taut on his arms were surely eye-catching!
After hearing them speak, Jian Liangtong smirked slightly, "Actually, I’m just like you, we’re all newcomers navigating and learning in this ever-changing entertainment circle. I’ve gone through your contracts with the company, they’re for six years. So, I hope we get along well in the next six years!" 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
"Sister Tong, you’re my first agent, I want to follow you all the way," Zhang Le Yi glanced at Wang Er and Xu Jiaren, then looked at Jian Liangtong cautiously.
"When you’re with me, no need to be so nervous. I’m not much older than you, be more relaxed," Jian Liangtong glanced down at Hao Hao, quietly eating beside her.
Zhang Le Yi pursed her lips, her gaze fell on Hao Hao, "Sister Tong, is this your brother?"
Jian Liangtong, "..."
"She’s my mom," Hao Hao pouted, casting a cold glance at Zhang Le Yi.
Zhang Le Yi, "..." Her face turned red to her neck, her eyes wide, looking at Jian Liangtong with innocent, helpless eyes.
Jian Liangtong affectionately tousled Hao Hao’s little head, looked at the slightly embarrassed Zhang Le Yi, and laughed, "He’s my son."
"Sister Tong, you look about our age, didn’t expect your child to be this old," Wang Er said in surprise.
"Yeah, Sister Tong, you’re so young," Zhang Le Yi said awkwardly.
Jian Liangtong raised her eyebrows, didn’t continue the topic, and told them, "I called you out today not only to get to know each other but also to discuss a few issues and reach consensus."
