373, away from the hustle and bustle, retreat to the countryside
In the afternoon, Xiao Zichen went to the company. Although Mo Yurou didn't go to the company, she didn't take any time off either.
The crew has already made an official announcement at noon. Ji Yanting, who originally played Tu Fangfang, has officially become the lead female lead. Meng Na will play the role of Tu Fangfang, the second female lead in this drama. Ten minutes after the announcement was made, Meng Na also made an announcement.
Announcement, indicating that he will join the group to participate in the filming tomorrow.
Things on the crew's side have come to an end. The next step is to wait for the filming to be finalized, then post-production, and scheduled for release. If everything goes well, it is expected to compete in major awards ceremonies at the end of the year.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Zichen arrived at the company. After getting off the car, he went upstairs. The company employees passing by noticed that their president seemed different from the past.
The aloof CEO, who usually keeps strangers away, actually greeted these small employees today, and seemed to have a slight smile on his lips.
"Mr. Xiao, Han Hui came to the company this morning. They were very confused about letting Meng Na play a supporting role for a new actor."
As soon as Xiao Zichen arrived at the office on the top floor, Liu Mingyu walked in. The tablet in his hand contained all of Xiao Zichen's work arrangements for this afternoon.
Xiao Zichen took off his coat and sat down. Hearing Liu Mingyu's words, he asked lightly.
"How did you solve it?"
"I said this is the result of discussions between all the crew and the producers. Miss Mona is just the spokesperson of Sino-Ocean."
After hearing Liu Mingyu's answer, Xiao Zichen smiled lightly and asked again.
"Han Hui didn't say anything else?"
Liu Mingyu nodded and replied.
"Yes, Han Hui is actually a smart person, but it is also her job to win the female lead for Meng Na."
Xiao Zichen listened, nodded, and then directly changed the topic.
"What are your plans for today?"
After that, Liu Mingyu looked at the tablet and began to describe all Xiao Zichen's work arrangements today. In one afternoon, two meetings were arranged, and there were more than a dozen documents waiting for approval, and a dinner was even arranged in the evening.
Xiao Zichen's brows furrowed more and more as he listened. He pinched his brows, then waved his hand to Liu Mingyu and said.
"I've put off the dinner tonight. Don't even arrange a dinner for me if you have nothing to do recently. I want to go home and be with Yurou."
When Liu Mingyu heard this, he was a little embarrassed. This dinner was no ordinary dinner. Those present tonight were all political and business dignitaries in Luo City. Although the Xiao family's current status in Luo City did not require them to attend these dinners again and again, they could not
People like Xiao Zichen never attended.
No, Liu Mingyu gave a kind reminder despite the risk of being scolded by Xiao Zichen.
"Mr. Xiao, you have proposed this dinner party four or five times. This time it was organized by the Ministry of Commerce."
When Xiao Zichen heard this, he felt a little irritated, thought about it again and again, and then said this.
"Isn't Vice President Yu here? You and he will attend on my behalf tonight. Okay, if you have nothing else to do, go out first. I have to get off work at five o'clock."
After saying that, Xiao Zichen began to process the documents on the table. Four hours and two meetings should be enough time to process these documents.
At half past five in the evening, Xiao Zichen returned to Haotianju on time. As soon as he entered the villa, he only saw Wu Ma and Aunt Li who were busy. He looked around and asked.
"Where's Yurou."
"The lady is in the back yard. She asked Lao Li to go to the flower and bird market in the afternoon and buy two cherry blossom trees. They are planting them now."
When Xiao Zichen heard this, he frowned slightly and said something.
"She grows it herself?"
Wu Ma nodded and said.
"Yes, I said let us do it, but the young lady said that she wants to plant it herself. No, I will let Lao Li guide me. I think it will be finished soon."
As soon as Wu Ma finished speaking, she saw the wind blowing at Xiao Zichen's feet and ran to the backyard in a hurry. Wu Ma and Aunt Li looked at each other and smiled when they saw this turbulent figure, and Aunt Li even sighed with emotion.
"The relationship between Mr. and Mrs. is really good."
After Wu Ma heard this, she just sighed and got angry. Today's happiness was obtained by the mutual abuse in the past.
In the backyard, in a bush, Xiao Zichen found Mo Yurou's figure. She was wearing a sportswear, a sun hat, a pair of cotton gauze gloves, and a shovel in her hand. She looked presentable.
.
"Uncle Li, is this okay? Do you want to dig deeper?"
Mo Yurou looked at the two pits, which were almost twenty centimeters deep, and looked at the two trees next to them, which were almost two meters high, and asked with some suspicion.
"Madam, that's enough. These are small saplings. Planting them too deep may cause root rot. This will be fine. Madam, just put the saplings in the pit, cover them with soil, and water them. But madam, these two cherry blossoms
Is the tree too small? If you like to see cherry blossoms, you should buy a bigger and thicker one, so that next year you can probably enjoy cherry blossoms in the yard. With this sapling, I'm afraid I won't be able to see cherry blossoms for another four to five years.
"
"Don't worry, I just want to watch these two trees grow up little by little, so that I can have a sense of accomplishment. In a few years, when spring comes, I can enjoy the flowers without having to go outside. By the way,
Then let Aunt Li and Wu Ma make some food with cherry blossom petals as condiments. I remember Wu Ma also brewed cherry blossom wine before. Uncle Li can try it then. It tastes very fragrant, but it’s a pity that I can’t drink it.”
Mo Yurou was busy planting trees while talking, but at the end, she felt a little melancholy.
Xiao Zichen stood under the eaves of the corridor, looking at Mo Yurou who was busy. When he heard those last words, a hint of sadness flashed in his doting eyes.
I remembered that Mo Yurou always liked to have a small glass of red wine after meals. At that time, the basement of this villa contained well-known red wines collected from all over the world. Unfortunately, the wine cellar is now covered with dust, and many of the red wines in it have been
Mo Yurou took care of it.
At this time, Uncle Li happened to be carrying a bucket over to fetch water. He turned around and saw Xiao Zichen standing under the eaves of the corridor. Just as he was about to speak, Xiao Zichen made a silent gesture, and Uncle Li walked to the edge of the pool silently.
Xiao Zichen stood there and watched for a while, until Uncle Li passed by him carrying a bucket full of water. He quickly took the bucket from Uncle Li's hand, and then the two of them walked towards Mo Yurou.
go.
"Uncle Li, can we just cover it with soil like this? Do you want to compact it?"
Mo Yurou was squatting there, her gloves were covered with mud, but she was so busy that she looked proud when she saw the cherry blossom tree she planted with her own hands.
"No need, just pour water on it later. When the water dries, the soil will naturally become tighter. Madam, I'll take care of this one. You can rest aside for a while."
Uncle Li saw that Mo Yurou's body was covered with mud, so he opened his mouth and said.
"No, I think it's good to do some physical work occasionally. As for the water, I'll water this one first."
With that said, Mo Yurou stood up.
Maybe he had been squatting for too long, and suddenly he felt dizzy when he stood up. His body shook slightly. When Xiao Zichen saw this, he immediately supported Mo Yurou from behind.
"careful."
As soon as Mo Yurou heard the voice, a smile appeared on her face. She turned around and saw Xiao Zichen hugging her and said excitedly.
"Zi Chen, you came back so early today, how long have you been standing here, and I didn't notice you."
After saying that, Mo Yurou saw the bucket in Xiao Zichen's hand, left Xiao Zichen's arms, and then said to Xiao Zichen.
"Since you fetched the water, go ahead and pour the water."
When Uncle Li on the side heard this, he immediately wanted to take the bucket from Xiao Zichen's hand and said hurriedly.
"Sir, how can you do these things? I can do it."
But Uncle Li didn't answer the question, and Xiao Zichen turned around, carrying the bucket and walking towards the tree that Mo Yurou had just planted, and said with a disdainful look on his face.
"Lao Li, isn't it just watering? Don't underestimate me."
As he said that, he saw Xiao Zichen carrying a bucket and watering the sapling directly. When Lao Li saw it, he immediately stepped forward to stop him, but it was still a step too late. The roots of the sapling were already in the ocean.
"Sir, you are not watering, you are pouring water. The newly planted saplings cannot withstand such watering, and their roots will rot."
When Uncle Li said this, Xiao Zichen hurriedly stopped his hand. Mo Yurou on the side took a look and ran over. She looked at the root of a small pool and frowned.
"Uncle Li, is there any hope? Otherwise, take out the saplings and plant them again."
"No, leave it to me. Mr. and Mrs. can just plant the tree."
Old Li had noticed it, and it was estimated that Xiao Zichen would not leave until Mo Yurou stopped.
When Uncle Li said this, Xiao Zichen put down the bucket, walked over and picked up the saplings on the ground, looked at the pit in front of him, and asked.
"Is it okay to just put it inside and cover it with soil?"
"Let me do it."
Mo Yurou saw that Xiao Zichen was wearing a suit and was not suitable for work at all, so she immediately stepped forward to stop him, but Xiao Zichen pulled Mo Yurou aside, pointed to the gloves in the tool box next to him and said.
"Bring me a pair of gloves and you can rest next to me for a while."
As he said that, Xiao Zichen had already put the saplings into the pit. Mo Yurou suddenly had a sudden idea. After getting Xiao Zichen's gloves, she took out her mobile phone and took pictures at the side.
Xiao Zichen heard the sound of the camera, turned his head and glanced at Mo Yurou, and said.
"Secretly filming me."
"It was a secret photo. I took it openly. It's rare for our CEO to be so down-to-earth, so I had to take some photos as a souvenir."
As she said that, Mo Yurou looked at the photos she took and was very satisfied. Just when she was about to put her phone away, she suddenly had an idea and picked up her phone again and clicked on her WeChat.
Mo Yurou selected two photos she had just taken, one was of Xiao Zichen standing with his back to the sunset, and the other was of Xiao Zichen bending down and burying a cherry sapling in his hand.
Looking at these two photos, Mo Yurou raised the corner of her mouth slightly, turned her eyes, and edited a line of text.
"Get away from the hustle and bustle and retreat to the countryside."
