Chapter 1691
is over.
In Beijing, after a long day at work, Qianqian went home, turned on her computer to browse Taobao, and checked her email for job offers. She found an email from Zhang Yuan.
After downloading and extracting the file, I saw the video he had filmed.
"Happy New Year."
Zhang Yuan sent her his blessings on a winter night in New York.
Seeing Zhang Yuan's gentle smile, her heart trembled.
She's been very tired these past few days.
I'm in good health, although I have a lot of work and activities at the end of the year.
The main fatigue comes from within.
It's like many people working at their jobs, where working overtime and pulling all-nighters is one thing.
But as long as the income is right, and they can actually accomplish something and feel a sense of accomplishment, most people are still willing to do it.
Otherwise, those big companies wouldn't have such a huge pool of talent.
What's exhausting is mostly not the work itself, but the endless meetings, being constantly manipulated by your boss, and the conflict with colleagues. Because of the system and management issues, nothing can be done or done smoothly.
That's what's truly exhausting.
Just like on a construction site, as long as you get enough overtime pay, you can witness what the speed of China is all about.
The most terrifying thing is mental exhaustion. Once a person falls into a state of internal conflict, it's like a leaky bucket. No matter how much you add, it will eventually leak out. But you still dare not stop adding as much as you can, because seeing the water level getting lower and lower will only make you more anxious and internally conflicted.
After learning that Zhang Yuan had sent bodyguards to investigate the people around her, Sisi fell into a state of mental exhaustion.
She felt very upset, insecure, and even felt that her dignity had been insulted.
She was used to the insults online, but the "betrayal" from her close friends and family was hard for her to accept.
I can't eat, I can't sleep, and I've lost a lot of hair.
I'm not in the right frame of mind when I'm working, and I can't seem to muster any enthusiasm.
To be honest, it's not really hatred, but I'm genuinely angry.
When she asked, Zhang Yuan didn't deny it and confessed on the spot, which made her feel a little better.
At least the gas wasn't blocked.
She felt that this omnipotent man, whose methods she knew for dealing with others, was now using them on her, which she found hard to accept.
I felt so upset for several days.
Now you see this video.
The atmosphere in the background is lively, with men and women in groups, each with their own companions, and many friends.
He was all alone on the streets of a foreign land, with no one to accompany him.
We had planned to go to Times Square together to celebrate New Year's Eve, but now he's all alone.
Women are soft-hearted, especially good people.
Seeing this, she felt bad.
Thinking that I'm sad, he must be sad too.
After a brief silence, he took a deep breath.
But problems and mistakes cannot be obscured by emotions.
She still couldn't tolerate Zhang Yuan's behavior.
At this point, a team member came to confirm tomorrow's itinerary.
After chatting for a while, the "harbinger bird" looked miserable, and the boss noticed it.
"What's wrong?" Sisi looked at her and asked, "Are you in a bad mood?"
"Are you still encountering difficulties?"
Do you need help?
This person pretended to cry, but didn't shed a single tear.
"My friend got fired and yelled at me on the phone for ages."
"They even said they wanted to find me."
"I'm afraid of getting beaten up."
"Expulsion?"
"Who?" she pressed, and only then did she learn the whole story.
He then frowned.
She frowned not because of the dismissal.
In the entertainment industry, if you can't keep your mouth shut, being fired is the least of your worries.
She understands Zhang Yuan's personality; if it's just dismissal, then she's probably still considering my feelings.
But his people were fired, what about mine?
Come to think of it, isn't it all your fault...? She looked at her "lively" assistant.
Even though I knew in my heart that what she did was right, and that she had made me aware of the current situation.
But the thought of Zhang Yuan spending New Year's Eve alone overseas, and my own unhappiness these past few days, made me hesitate.
Even the most reasonable person is still just a human being, and he replied somewhat impatiently.
"Okay, don't let personal matters affect your work."
"If you've finished talking, go back and get some rest."
Unlike his usual friendly and caring demeanor towards his colleagues, although his tone remained calm, he gave them the order to leave.
Faced with this situation, the assistant thought to himself, "Shouldn't I speak up for me and chat with him for a while to comfort him?"
Many unprofessional assistants or agents are like unprofessional nannies; if they stay in the job for too long, they will turn out the opposite of what they were meant to do.
She also needs the host to take care of her emotions, and even dares to order the customers around.
There are many people like that.
A person who thinks they are clever cannot notice the change in the boss's attitude towards her.
After that person left, Sisi called her agent. Not long after, Zhang Yuan, who was filming in North America, received a call from the agent.
"Sister Wang, what's the matter?"
Artists of their caliber typically have a large number of agents around them, each responsible for different tasks.
This person is in charge of communication and is quite good at speaking.
"I understand."
The other party mentioned that their assistant had been threatened, and Zhang Yuan said he would resolve the matter immediately.
"Brother Long." He took advantage of his break time to find his bodyguard and inform him of the situation.
"This guy needs to be taught a lesson."
They've already caused me trouble, and now they're trying to stir up more problems.
Do you really think I have the heart of a bodhisattva?
“I’ll handle it myself!” Brother Long immediately chimed in.
Because he knew that if he didn't go, the problem would be even bigger.
Zhang Yuan paused for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
He originally wanted to ask Zhao Decai for help, as he had many ways to deal with troublemakers.
"The crew will be returning to China soon, so you can go there yourself once we get back."
"clear."
Two days later, he returned to China with the film crew.
The soundstage at China Film Group is being prepared, and the rented old factory and stadium sets are also being set up.
After getting a day or two of free time, he was called to the China Film Studio to dub the film's narration.
"Americans will never understand that Chinese heroes can kneel, and can even crawl between someone's legs."
Countless Chinese heroes have knelt down.
Lian Po even carried thorns on his back to apologize, so no one dared to say that the old general wasn't a hero.
Goujian endured hardship and humiliation, but in fact, besides tasting gall, he also ate excrement...
This is a true story: When King Fuchai fell ill, he ordered King Goujian to taste his excrement to determine the cause of his illness.
So ordinary workers should stop saying that their bosses' PUA tactics are like feeding them shit, because there are bosses who really do feed them shit.
Even so, Goujian was still regarded as a great man who could endure hardship, and was often regarded as a spiritual idol by people in distress.
When it comes to famous figures who crawled between someone's legs, Han Xin is a prime example.
Moreover, unlike Goujian, Han Xin did not crawl between someone's legs after his defeat.
Instead, when I was young, I encountered a provocative butcher who, acting like a thug, said he would either stab me to death or crawl between my legs.
In this situation, Han Xin was the one who assessed the situation and, disregarding his pride, crawled between someone's legs.
The one who couldn't stand it anymore and stabbed someone was Yang Zhi.
The two present a stark contrast in ability and intelligence.
Although Han Xin's ending was not good, he was still a regional warlord.
Zhang Yuan repeatedly recited this phrase, which not only represents the attitude of the main characters in the film when facing ETS, but also embodies the national spirit of China.
Enduring hardship and humiliation, accumulating strength under pressure and adversity—this is national resilience, and also an extreme form of pragmatism.
It is precisely because of this spirit that the Chinese nation has been able to rise again and again after suffering repeated calamities of national subjugation and genocide.
The same is true today; these are the three great hatreds of modern times.
Embassy, ship, airplane.
Everyone is enduring it.
In the 90s, the higher-ups were criticized by the people so much that they felt ashamed and embarrassed. Even if they couldn't win, they had to fight back, otherwise they would be considered spineless!
If Goujian had attacked Fuchai, he would have had no chance to restore his kingdom.
If Han Xin hadn't been able to restrain himself, he wouldn't have become the King of Chu or the Marquis of Huaiyin.
There's a kind of ability that's not called forbearance, but strategic composure.
After Han Xin was made a king, he encountered the butcher who had humiliated him by making him crawl between someone's legs again. Instead of killing or humiliating him, he simply laughed it off.
The light boat has already passed ten thousand mountains; if I wanted to kill you, I would have done so long ago. Why wait until now?
Spare your life, and it will only make me look magnanimous.
Therefore, China will definitely maintain this attitude towards North America in the future.
Just like we treated Puyi.
Keep you around so the whole world can see how corrupt the evil old empire has become.
Zhang Yuan is well-versed in this, which is what distinguishes him from Teacher Guo.
The dubbing took up an entire afternoon, and instead of going home to rest afterward, I went to a large restaurant nearby.
It's so lively today! People of all ages from the industry are here, especially from the imperial circle!
Today is Lao Han's official retirement banquet.
Despite being pulled and dragged, Zhang Yuan wisely refrained from sitting at the head table.
The table was full of old officials; I felt out of place there.
People will think you don't know the rules.
But Zhang Yuan felt that Lao Han was doing it on purpose; instead of sitting at the main table, he led him to the second table.
Then, the people at the same table included Big Dog Brother, Wang Changtian... these guys were alright.
But Xiao Wang was also at this table, as was Yu Dong.
And at the table behind him, back to back, were Lu Chuan and Cao Yu...
Oh no, I'm surrounded by my enemies! (End of Chapter)
