Nearby construction sites continue operating even in the sweltering summer heat, with many workers sweating profusely as they tirelessly work.
A dark-skinned man was carrying materials and equipment, dropping them to the ground, gasping for breath, and saying, "Are we really going to send Lele back to our hometown?"
A female plasterer, covered in mud, stopped her work and asked, "If we don't send her back, what can we do? We're from the countryside, and even if we work our whole lives, we won't be able to afford a house in Shanghai. Without a house, Lele can't go to school. Are we supposed to have Lele drop out of school and work with us outside?"
"But..." the dark-skinned man said, looking conflicted, "I can't bear to part with Lele."
"Since Lele was born, we've left her in my mom's care. All these years, we've been working hard away from home, only seeing her at the end of the year. As soon as the New Year is over, we're separated from Lele again."
"The days we spend with Lele are so few. I feel a deep gap between us. I want her to be with us more."
The plasterer woman's eyes were complex: "We can't go back to our hometown, we won't find work there; we can't leave Lele here either, we can't find a school to take her."
The couple had visited many schools in Shanghai, hoping one would accept Lele so she could stay and study with them, but without exception, they all had various requirements that the couple couldn't meet.
Under the sun, the couple fell silent.
"Lele's dad, Lele's mom."
Suddenly, a voice came from behind.
The plasterer woman turned her head: "Brother Li, what's wrong?"
"Lele is looking for you with two people. The man is handsome, and the woman has extraordinary气质, and they're driving a Bentley. They look like big shots."
The plasterer woman and the dark-skinned man quickly headed outside.
"Lele."
The little girl Lele ran to her parents: "Mom and Dad, I gave the gift to Brother Chang Shen, but he wasn't there. This Brother Chu Fang is Brother Chang Shen's friend, and he wants to meet you."
Lele's dad looked at Chu Fang: "Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Hello." Chu Fang nodded, then cut straight to the chase, "Chang Shen is no longer in... Shanghai. Before he left, he told me to give the house under his name to you two."
Before Lele's parents could speak, the surrounding workers were shocked.
"A house?"
"A Shanghai house?"
"A free gift?"
"Are you kidding me?"
Chu Fang shrugged: "I'm not kidding, I'm stating a fact."
"Please rest assured, I'm not a scammer. If you agree to accept the house, we'll proceed with the formal property transfer. All procedures will be handled in government offices to ensure it's not a scam."
Lele's dad and mom looked at each other: "Can we ask why?"
A Shanghai house is worth millions, and he's just giving it to them?
"Um..." Chu Fang pondered for a moment, "Chang Shen instructed me before he left that he wanted Lele to live and study with her parents, and for the family to never be separated."
The couple looked at each other, and finally accepted the generous gift, and Chu Fang breathed a sigh of relief.
Giving away such a big gift to someone else was quite a torment.
Then Chu Fang pushed his private lawyer's WeChat to the couple, and said, "This is my private lawyer. He will fully assist you with the property transfer to ensure you get the property certificate. If you're not comfortable, you can also find another lawyer to consult."
Chu Fang gave some instructions, then said, "After getting the house, don't forget to get Lele's enrollment certificate. It's already late August, and school is about to start."
After speaking, he prepared to leave with Zhong Tingyue, but Lele called him: "Brother Chu Fang."
"Is there anything else you want to ask?"
Lele hesitated, and asked, "Is Brother Chang Shen dead?"
"Alive, living an incredibly happy life!" Chu Fang left those words behind, then left the place.
Leaving behind a bunch of clueless onlookers.
"Wait, he really gave away a house?"
"Am I hearing things?"
"We really don't understand the behavior of rich people, giving away a house for nothing."
"Could it be a scam?"
"He said all the procedures will be done in government offices. Who would dare to scam in government offices? Besides, what do we have? We have nothing worth scamming."
"Lele's dad, your family is rich from now on, you're a proper Shanghai person."
Lele's dad and Lele's mom took a long time to recover, both looking at their daughter Lele, who was biting her lip until it turned white.
... ...
On the way, Chu Fang sat in the passenger seat, rummaging through a black plastic bag: "Hehe, dried yak meat, I love it."
He tasted the spicy yak meat, the meat was firm, the taste was delicious, and the meat aroma was full.
Chu Fang tore off a piece and fed it to Zhong Tingyue, who nodded: "The taste is indeed good."
"Nonsense!" He rolled his eyes, "These few pounds of yak meat cost me millions, even if it's just a lump, it's fragrant."
Zhong Tingyue's lips curved into a shallow arc: "Mr. Chu, does that mean you regret it?"
"That house wasn't bought with my money, so there's nothing to regret." Chu Fang tore at the yak meat, "Besides, I think it's worth it."
"If the house was in my name, I couldn't sell it or rent it out, it would just be empty. But by giving the house to others, it has meaning, maintaining the harmony and happiness of Lele's family. I think this is the most valuable use of it."
Speaking of this, Chu Fang patted the seat: "Chang Shen is so dead!"
Zhong Tingyue: "..."
Anyone who didn't know would think Chu Fang killed his best friend.
Soon, the two arrived at the studio.
Jiang Wenzhen greeted: "Hello, Sister Zhong."
Chu Fang replied: "Hello!"
Jiang Wenzhen rolled her eyes: "Sister Zhong, have you had lunch yet?"
"If I haven't, what's it to you? You're going to treat me, right?" Chu Fang straightened his back, "Jiang Wenzhen, on this point, I must criticize you, you're too scheming!"
"In the studio, everyone is a colleague, everyone is equal. Why do you want to spend your own money to treat people? You must be trying to buy people's hearts to seek your own interests. I've seen through your conspiracy."
"But seeing your attitude of admitting your mistake, I won't criticize you by name, but only this once, never again."
Chu Fang turned his head and said to the studio's many colleagues: "Five-star hotel tonight, everyone pig out!"
"Okay!"
"President Chu has the world in his heart, no wonder he's so successful."
"Then I'll thank President Chu here."
"President Chu, I have nothing to say, you'll always be my idol."
Every word and every sentence was like a sharp blade inserted into Jiang Wenzhen's chest.
When did I say I was treating?
Treating is treating, but why are you thanking Chu Fang?
Are you guys brainless?
Chu Fang thumped his chest: "Everyone is brothers, being brothers is in the heart, your... ...forget it, never mind."
A faint arc appeared on Zhong Tingyue's lips: "Zhenzhen, you've spent too much."
Her cheap fiancé was back, and seemed even cheaper.
Jiang Wenzhen pointed at Zhong Tingyue, then looked at Chu Fang: "Sister Zhong, you, Chu Fang, you... I'm going to fight you."
The office instantly turned into a brawl.
... ...
Today, Chu Yi was very nervous, more nervous than she had ever been in her life.
After so much learning, her music dream officially began, starting to step into the music scene under the spotlight, entering the entertainment industry.
