Witty Wife, Better Life-Chapter 846 - 836 I Want to Go and See
Chapter 846: Chapter 836 I Want to Go and See
Shen Yunfang rolled her eyes but before she could say anything, the phone in the living room started ringing again.
"Hurry up and answer the phone; it must be your sister-in-law calling," Shen Yunfang said irritably.
"Just ignore her." How could Li Hongjun just leave his wife behind and not think about whether he could even return to the bedroom to sleep at night?
"But you can’t, you know how crazy your sister is. If you don’t answer, she’ll keep calling nonstop. Who upstairs and downstairs can stand it?" This had happened before, which was why Shen Yunfang originally didn’t like Li Xianghe and had clearly stated that everyone who didn’t want to interact with Li Xianghe must answer her calls.
They had thought about unplugging the phone line so she couldn’t get through, but the phone was installed to communicate with business contacts, and they couldn’t just stop doing business because of her, so in the end, Shen Yunfang had to compromise. freeweɓnøvel.com
"Wait a while, when we go back to our room, I’ll tell you how much I’ve missed you." Li Hongjun shamelessly kissed his wife on the cheek before he headed to the living room.
"Second brother, are you really going to ignore me? If even you ignore me, then I truly have no way out. We are from the same mother, when we were both little..."
Li Hongjun held the receiver and listened seriously to the other person recounting various childhood incidents. However, he felt no warmth in his heart, only disappointment.
Li Xianghe had been rambling for half an hour, going on and on about Sun Chengbin getting a new lover and abandoning the old. She didn’t mention a word about the poor child she had lost.
Could such a woman still be called a mother? How hard-hearted this woman must be, just thinking about it chills the heart.
After Shen Yunfang had tidied up the kitchen, she went to the bedroom to do some skincare and saw Li Hongjun sitting on the sofa with a very stern expression.
She hummed through her nose twice, guessing that Li Hongjun probably hadn’t done anything good in his past life, otherwise, he wouldn’t have ended up with such relatives in this life.
After Li Hongjun and his wife did some stretching exercises in bed that evening, he held her close and said, slightly out of breath, "Tomorrow I’m going to ask for leave to take a trip to R Province."
Shen Yunfang was already feeling sleepy but pushed him an arm’s length away and looked up at him when she heard he was going to R Province.
"You’re really planning to meddle in your sister’s affairs?"
Meddling in marital issues is troublesome. Now, they are talking about divorce. If he, as her brother, steps in and they do get divorced, it might still be okay. But if the divorce doesn’t happen, the couple might end up resenting him for interfering. In short, it is a thankless job.
"They can fight all they want; I don’t care. I just want to see what exactly happened to Niuniu. The child just disappeared, and it’s bothering me." Li Hongjun didn’t really care about the adults’ issues; he was mainly concerned about the child.
Hearing this, Shen Yunfang also sighed, "Then go have a look, but honestly, the child has been missing for a month now. Finding her now, the chances are very slim." If it was human traffickers, by now she could be far away. If someone nearby had picked her up, she would have been found long ago.
"I know, I just want to go and see. If I don’t, I’ll feel uneasy," Li Hongjun said distressfully.
After all, Niuniu shared the same blood as him. Even though she had been ill from an early age, she was still his family’s child. Now to say the child was just gone; he didn’t know what Li Xianghe, the mother, felt, but he was profoundly disturbed every time he thought about it.
After the couple had agreed on what to do, Li Hongjun was very busy the next day at the district office, and it was almost dinner time by the time he could reluctantly take three days off.
That settled it then; there was no time to delay. After a quick dinner, Shen Yunfang drove Li Hongjun to the city’s train station.
"Boss, the film company on the Governor of Hong Kong’s side is already in preparation. The paperwork and everything should be ready in about a week," Li Tuo reported to his boss in the office about recent work progress.
Shen Yunfang nodded in satisfaction. To align with this year’s harvest season and promote it through a reality TV show, everything needed to be expedited. But fortunately, on Governor of Hong Kong’s side, as long as you have the money, there’s nothing difficult. The company setup was almost complete within just a few days, and now they were just waiting for the paperwork so the film company could start operating normally.
"Have you found a place for the office over there?"
"Yes, we’ve rented a room in an office building for the office, and we’ve temporarily hired two staff members to do miscellaneous tasks and answer calls." Since it was mainly for facilitating the promotion of the film later on, he didn’t put too much thought into the hardware.
"For now, that’s fine. But if our program becomes popular, the film company in its current scale might not suffice. In the meantime, have someone keep an eye out for a bigger space to rent. Dig up a couple of professionals too. After we shoot our program, we’ll need to do some editing before it can be used," Shen Yunfang instructed.
Li Tuo was somewhat skeptical internally. To him, it didn’t seem necessary to open a film company at all. He didn’t understand his boss’s thinking. There were other ways to get a reality TV program broadcasted internationally, which could offer much more flexibility than setting up a film company.
But it was the boss’s money, and what the boss commanded, he would do.
Shen Yunfang discussed further requirements with Li Tuo; seeing him agree to them all, she then opened her drawer and pulled out a plan she had written.
This reality TV program was a concept she had snatched from someone else and naturally didn’t mind snatching a name either, so it was also called "The Life We Long For."
Li Tuo flipped through it immediately, admiring the boss’s strategy. Worthy of a boss who could manage such a large farm, skilled in both pen and sword, not just anyone could reach such heights.
"This local farmstead I’ve already visited, it’s very well arranged, ready for use at any moment. Recently, send out invitations to Stick Country. Whether they can come or not, get a word back as soon as possible; otherwise, if everything here is ready and they still haven’t arrived, it will delay our plans," Shen Yunfang had selected the participants for the first episode after several days of deep thought—a singer from Stick Country who had just debuted not long ago.
Currently, he was relatively unknown, but in two months, he would be singing the theme song at a major sports event and would start gaining significant fame from then on.
The timing was perfect for Shen Yunfang’s needs; if possible, shooting could begin in about half a month, then editing and eventually broadcasting on TV, which altogether would take around two months. This timing would coincide with the singer’s rising popularity, boosting the profile of "Feiyang" in Stick Country.
"Alright, I’ll get on it right away."
