Chapter 0589 Teasing

From Zhao Fusheng's perspective, no matter the matter, thinking and doing are two entirely different concepts.

The former is merely a person's thought, while the latter is action in the true sense. A person with a kind heart who is stingy even with giving help to a beggar on the street, or too lazy to offer a seat on the bus—such a person, in Zhao Fusheng's view, no matter how sweet their words, has nothing to do with kindness.

So regarding Yu Feihong's rule, Zhao Fusheng didn't think there was anything wrong. How many slightly famous stars would care about that hundred thousand yuan?

"Don't you think it's a bit high?" Yu Feihong asked Zhao Fusheng in surprise.

Previously, she had been questioned by many people over this matter, and had even begun to lose confidence.

Fortunately, she found some comfort in Zhao Fusheng.

"Not high. Stars who genuinely want to do charity won't mind the money," Zhao Fusheng said calmly.

Yu Feihong was taken aback, then understood Zhao Fusheng's meaning. On second thought, it really was the truth.

Although one should not refrain from doing good just because it is small, for celebrities, as long as there is no moral coercion, how much charity they do is entirely up to their own conscience.

Those who command fees of hundreds of thousands but are unwilling to do even a hundred thousand yuan worth of charity, and even try to cut corners, are not worth associating with.

Yu Feihong deeply agreed with Zhao Fusheng's words. She now felt that perhaps only Zhao Fusheng could understand her efforts.

After hanging up the phone, Yu Feihong cheerfully went to pursue her beautiful ideals, while Zhao Fusheng continued to be busy.

Li Jian was pressed for time; he stayed in Ninghai for only a day before leaving. Tan Kaixuan and Zhao Fusheng personally saw him off at the train station, promising to meet again when they had time, and they parted reluctantly.

Though everyone knew that the next meeting might be at an unknown time.

Because each was busy with their own affairs, there was nothing to be said.

So-called growing up should be: crying in bed one second, and the next second, upon receiving a call, immediately throwing yourself into work. When you calm down, you still believe that those hurts are meant to shape a better you.

In this era, there are fewer and fewer princes who slay dragons, because while they can easily slay the dragon, they cannot dodge the short dagger thrust by the princess.

Having a few trustworthy friends by his side, Zhao Fusheng felt, was a rather fortunate thing.

"Old Zhao, what do you think of Li Jian as a person?" Tan Kaixuan suddenly asked Zhao Fusheng as they sat in the car on the way back.

Zhao Fusheng was startled, then smiled: "What do you think?"

"Not bad, I suppose. Can't say he's good or bad," Tan Kaixuan replied after a moment of silence.

Zhao Fusheng nodded. Tan Kaixuan's words made sense.

Li Jian's involvement in their investment had some utilitarian motives, but neither Zhao Fusheng nor Tan Kaixuan cared about that.

In Zhao Fusheng's view, the goodwill Li Jian had shown him was enough in itself.

It's better to live with kindness. Although there is no hatred without cause, nor love without reason, if there is a sufficient reason, it is more appropriate to accept the goodwill others show you.

For fear of being controlled or dominated by something or someone you love, you go so far as to hurt yourself to force a withdrawal. In essence, it's still because of fragility. Once a person or thing controls or dominates your heart, that's truly betting your whole life on something you can't afford to lose.

This truth, many people may never understand in their lifetime.

"Then let's keep it as it is."

Zhao Fusheng was silent for a moment, then said to Tan Kaixuan.

Tan Kaixuan nodded; he naturally understood Zhao Fusheng's meaning.

Back in the dormitory, Tan Kaixuan made a phone call. In the evening, he had a dinner appointment with people from the Industry and Commerce Bureau. He looked up and asked Zhao Fusheng if he wanted to come. Zhao Fusheng gave him a look that said 'you figure it out yourself.'

Tan Kaixuan blinked: "Come on, this is our business. You haven't even shown your face yet. Is that appropriate?"

Zhao Fusheng chuckled, revealing an expression that Tan Kaixuan couldn't read: "I'll give you a chance to rephrase that!"

Tan Kaixuan glanced at Zhao Fusheng, who looked ready to stand up and beat him at any moment, and gave an awkward smile: "Well, I'll go get ready. I have to drink tonight."

With that, the guy turned and left, not giving Zhao Fusheng a chance to lose his temper.

Zhao Fusheng shrugged. He had grown accustomed to Tan Kaixuan's antics. Ever since that guy realized he couldn't take Zhao Fusheng down alone, he had become much more docile, and Zhao Fusheng could no longer find a reason to discipline him in the dorm.

Lying on the dormitory bed, Zhao Fusheng idly held a book. At that moment, he actually missed the era of smartphones. Not that he found it particularly entertaining, but with a smartphone, he could browse the internet for information, unlike now.

The progress of the times is indeed meaningful sometimes, at least making people's lives more convenient and efficient.

"Zhao Fusheng, what are you doing?"

Just as Zhao Fusheng was daydreaming, a text message came in on his phone. Glancing at the content, a gentle smile appeared on his lips.

The only one who could make him act like this was, of course, his girlfriend.

"Lying in the dorm, dead tired," Zhao Fusheng replied.

"Is the internship that hard?" Fan Baobao asked curiously. She couldn't understand why Zhao Fusheng, just a student teacher, was so exhausted.

Zhao Fusheng laughed and typed back: "Of course. You have no idea, I'm so tired I can't move. I need a love hug..."

At that moment, Fan Baobao was sitting in her dormitory in Beijing, staring at her phone with a puzzled expression. Clearly, she found Zhao Fusheng's words hard to believe. Why did her classmates describe their internships as leisurely, while her boyfriend claimed to be exhausted?

But considering her boyfriend's hard work, she swallowed her embarrassment and sent him a comforting text.

Of course, the content goes without saying—it was between lovers. Single people reading it would probably go crazy.

Even so, soon after, Fan Baobao received another text from Zhao Fusheng.

"If I come to see you in a few days, can you stay outside with me... hehe!"

Looking at the text, especially the meaningful 'hehe' at the end, Fan Baobao couldn't help but grit her teeth. She put the phone aside and ignored that bastard Zhao Fusheng.

Complaining about being tired while still thinking about doing bad things—served him right for being dead tired!
