Chapter 222: Gathering in One Place
“Go try it, okay? You are such a good vet, and more people should know your name.”
Yu Zhan saw the hopeful look in the girl’s eyes and laughed, “My nickname on the internet, ‘I’m a vet’, has already become very famous. I also have lots of fans.”
“That’s different. ‘I’m a vet’ is a God on the internet, and ‘Vet Yu Zhan’ is someone in the reality. Ye Ziliang can even give your pet clinic’s sign plate a closeup in his documentary. If you get more famous, you get to earn more money. Maybe you’ll even become a cyber star.”
Yu Zhan didn’t want to earn so much money. He didn’t want to expose his clinic. He didn’t want to become a cyber star. However, to please Liu Man, he sent Ye Ziliang a WeChat message.
“I’m willing to participate.”
Ye Ziliang replied him with an emoji sticker that read: “xoxo”.
In fact, Ye Ziliang was jumping in joy. He had thought Yu Zhan wouldn’t agree to it. After all, Yu Zhan didn’t seem like a guy who needed any money to him.
Ye Ziliang was worried Yu Zhan would think 20,000 RMB was too little, but for his half a year of work, he had been getting only his intern salary. He didn’t have lots of money. His college fees were all paid by Ye Zian, and Ye Ziliang was too embarrassed to ask for more money from his brother.
What was most ridiculous was, the superior ranks knew all of them four had social connections in the circle and had some kind of background. Their boss told them straightforwardly that in this documentary filming project, the television department would not be giving them any support or aid. They would have no funds, no equipment, no videographers, no scripts, no editing helpers. They would have to do everything by themselves.
Excluding these twenty thousand, Ye Ziliang still had to spend his own money on getting a videographer and renting equipments. Although he did study producing and directing in England, his main focus was on the plots and the scripts. He didn’t have enough filming skills.
Ye Ziliang’s job was taken care of by Ye Zian. Ye Zian was aloof and didn’t like being involved in cliques; he also disliked people who only use their connections and had no skills. However, just for his brother, he lowered his position and begged people, using his own social connections. He became the type of person he disliked the most.
Ye Ziliang knew how much blood and effort his brother paid for him, and he wanted to honor himself, too. He didn’t want to rely on and trouble his brother anymore.
On the second day, Yu Zhan first sent Liu Man and the two cats back to her newly rented house before going to work at his clinic.
Liu Man reorganized Mr. Zhang’s furniture according to how she liked them to be and bought a few clothes on the internet. Now was summer, and T-shirts with short sleeves and dresses were all pretty cheap.
She then went to a supermarket outside and bought a few daily necessities.
Liu Man, with two huge bags of food and other things she needed, came back home to see Zhang Pei standing at the entrance. The mother and daughter looked at each other and smiled; there was nothing that stood between them. Zhang Pei came up and helped Liu Man hold her things so Liu Man could take out her keys and open the door.
“I should’ve came earlier to go to the supermarket with you,” Zhang Pei felt as if her heart was aching, “I really can’t stop worrying about you living outside alone. You are in too much of a rush, renting a house in just one day. I don’t even know if this place is safe and how nice the landlord is.”
“This place is very close to Capital University, and the environment is very safe. I can easily go take classes from Professor Su. The landlord is a college teacher, and he is very nice to talk to,” Liu Man said as she opened the door and invited Zhang Pei in.
The floor had already been polished and mopped by Yu Zhan. Liu Man took out two pairs of plastic slippers from a bag, and she handed Zhang Pei a pair while leaving herself with a pair. As soon as Zhang Pei entered the house, she sensed a light smell of ink. As she changed, she looked around at the place Liu Man was living at. Everything was pristine and flawless, and not a single spot of dust was to be found. Everything was placed in such an organized manner. This Princess was really a girl who knew how to live life.
The two cats recognized Zhang Pei’s smell and padded over from the corner to welcome her. Zhang Pei smiled as she petted Daylight and patted Moonlight.
She suddenly felt it was good for Liu Man to live here alone with two cats accompanying her.
Zhang Pei helped Liu Man organize the things she bought, spread out the bedsheets, and do the bedspread. The mother and daughter made quite a good team, and they chatted as they did things. Their relationship was not influenced at all by Liu Chengyu.
Zhang Pei did not mention a single harsh word from Liu Chengyu, and she didn’t ask why Liu Man came out to live alone. She said, “Don’t worry about the work at the storage space. With me as a supervisor, there will be no issues. Just rest assured here and go to your classes at Professor Su’s house. Do good on your studies. Live-stream when you need to, practice your Guqin when you need to, and write calligraphy when you need to. Live the life you want to live.”
Liu Man, through Zhang Pei’s eyes, could see that Zhang Pei didn’t have any weird feelings for her just because of Liu Chengyu’s icy words.
A woman’s heart was not as hard as a man’s. Zhang Pei, from start to end, remembered her biological daughter’s words in the dream. Man Man said that the Princess had always been an orphan with no parents, and Man Man wanted her to treat the Princess like her own daughter.
Zhang Pei pitied Liu Man, and she also loved Liu Man.
In her heart, Liu Man was her daughter. She was her most outstanding and most unique daughter, and she could not be replaced.
Confirming that Liu Man was doing good and settling down, Zhang Pei left. The storage space needed her. She was “Owner Zhang” right now, after all!
On the third day after she moved to the new place, Liu Man made sure she settled down everything. Before anyone returned to their hometown during summer vacation, she called all her friends and invited them to come hang out at hoer house.
Li Xiaoru, Tao Zhiyao, Jiang Chengfeng, and Sun Weiwei were all here. They all congratulated her for moving to a new house!
As soon as Tao Zhiyao entered the house and saw Daylight and Moonlight, she instantly became a perverted, weird aunt. She abruptly and ferociously kissed each one she caught. Li Xiaoru pitied the cats, “Don’t kiss them anymore. Can’t you see Daylight wants to die now?”
“I’ve been a fan of the cat from live-streams. This is the first time I’m seeing Daylight in real life, and I’m just a little excited!” Tao Zhiyao said while combing her fingers through cat fur, “You don’t know how much I love cats. It’s unfortunate that my family just prohibits me from keeping one. So annoying.”
“Hey, there’s something the Bai Fu Mei cannot do,” Li Xiaoru teased.
“Hmph. Bai Fu Meis are not Goddesses!”
Sun Weiwei asked Liu Man, “Why did you move out?”
“I’m uncomfortable with living at home.”
Liu Man saw the doubtfulness in Sun Weiwei’s eyes and blinked at her. In Sun Weiwei’s eyes, it looked as if Liu Man was blinking flirtatiously and seducing her.
Sun Weiwei: “…”
She did not understand what exactly Liu Man wanted.
Jiang Chengfeng, benting down at one side, was playing with Moonlight. The tractable Moonlight really liked Jiang Chengfeng and let him pet him. Jiang Chengfeng did not keep a pet, and this was the first time he was in such a close distance with a pet. He felt very curious.
“Who said ‘the same genders hate each other and opposite genders get seduced to each other’? Aren’t Chengfeng and Moonlight having a good time with each other?” Tao Zhiyao laughed.
Li Xiaoru was not so interested in cats, and she sat down on the couch with Sun Weiwei. Today was the first time the two met each other. However, the two girls had heard of each other a long time ago. Sun Weiwei had seen Li Xiaoru’s performance video online, and she knew Li Xiaoru had also received an intentional and malevolent low score, just like Liu Man did.
The duo each introduced themselves, and they officially knew each other now.
