Xiao Jing finally made a friend during the filming process. Her name was Xiao Rui. The two of them got to know each other because of the filming, and their relationship became closer and closer.
Xiao Jing took Xiao Rui to Fat Cat's supper stall to eat egg fried rice. Looking at the still innocent Xiao Jing, Xiao Rui taught her the "secret method of getting a position". Looking at Xiao Jing, who was unable to accept it, Xiao Rui said that recently, she planned to "send" herself to a casting director of a big film crew. When the time came, she would help her good sister.
On the way, Xiao Rui received a call and left.
The unhappy Xiao Jing asked Fat Cat if she had to pay a price that she was unwilling to pay if she wanted to realize her dream.
Fat Cat thought for a moment and told her that dreams should make people happy, not make people live more depressed.
………………
That night, Xia Xiong suddenly found Fat Cat and took out a can of apple juice. He said that this was a poverty relief project in his hometown and hoped to sell it at Fat Cat's supper stall.
Lin Tu opened a bottle and drank it. He told the fat cat in disgust that the drink was filled with the taste of the chemicals and did not taste good. He advised the fat cat not to sell it so as not to affect its reputation.
Xia Xiong told them that his hometown was rich in fruits, but the sales were bad. The poor villagers had borrowed a lot of money from the bank to build an orchard. Now that the fruits could not be sold, everyone had to squeeze out the last cent they had and build a small beverage processing plant.
As for adding too many chemicals, that was because the funds were limited. There was nothing they could do. As he spoke, he took out his phone and showed them photos of his poor hometown.
Lin Tu looked at the photo and felt a sense of compassion. He suggested that Xia Xiong get the legal person of this company to look for him. He could consider investing. After he had money, the factory could introduce a small-scale cold filling production line. There would be no need to put so many chemicals in it. After the quality was improved, he could look for connections and expand the sales channels. Only then could he truly achieve poverty reduction.
A few days later, the tall and thin Li Yi and Xia Xiong appeared in front of Lin Tu. Xia Xiong introduced Li Yi as the legal person of this processing plant. After a few detailed discussions, Lin Tu agreed to consider investing 5 million yuan and give an accurate answer in three days.
Lin Tu hesitated for a while as he watched the two leave happily. He then dialed his father's number. After a series of calls, his father agreed to Lin Tu's financial request.
Lin Tu, who felt that he had done a good deed, revealed a happy smile and muttered to Fat Cat to treat him to a poached egg...
………………
On this day, Xiao Ran carried the donation box to the supper stall. The pedestrians on the road were still cold and walked around her as if they were watching the plague.
Fat Cat looked at the donation box in her hand from afar and was in a daze for a while. Then, she hurriedly took out all the money from the cupboard. After thinking for a while, she took out the money on her and handed it to Xiao Ran with both hands.
Xiao Ran asked him why he donated so much. Ordinary people donated at most ten yuan, but Fat Cat donated several hundred yuan.
Fat Cat told her that she was already satisfied with a place to sleep and food. It was useless to have extra money. When he met someone in need, he should naturally help as much as possible.
Xiao Ran looked at Fat Cat's serious and honest fat face and finally could not help but cry. Looking at Xiao Ran who was crying hoarsely, Fat Cat was at a loss.
Lin Tu, who had come to eat Egg-Fried Rice as usual, saw this scene. He helped Xiao Ran up and asked her what had happened.
Xiao Ran told them that she was a teacher at a disabled college. A few months ago, a real estate development company wanted to build a real estate near the school, so they came to them and paid them to apply to the Education Bureau and move out.
Since the principal refused to agree, there had been people coming to find trouble with all kinds of excuses since three months ago. Just last month, when the principal was out, he was injured and hospitalized.
Just as she was taking her students to visit the principal who was hospitalized, a student named " Xiao Ning " was in the hospital with a high fever. After a doctor's examination, he told her that Xiao Ning had leukemia and needed a bone marrow transplant to survive.
However, the surgery required a large sum of money. How could he find a way to collect the surgery fees? Therefore, while begging the doctor to find a compatible bone marrow donor, he came out to ask for help from the kind-hearted people in society, hoping to raise enough money for the surgery.
However, after a few days, other than Fat Cat's few hundred yuan, there was less than 100 yuan in the donation box. It was a far cry from the 100,000 yuan surgery fee. At this moment, Xiao Ran, who blamed herself and was in despair, could not hold on anymore.
When they heard about Ran's encounter, Fat Cat and Lin Tu could not bear to see her. They sat together and discussed how they could gather enough money for the surgery.
Halfway through, Lin Tu called his father for help, and he was indeed scolded.
In the end, the two of them finally came up with a plan. They would buy the stall next to Fat Cat and let Xiao Ran and the students come here to do business and sell cupcakes. As there were many female customers here, as long as they managed well, they would be able to earn enough money for Xiao Ning's surgery fees in at most half a year under the hospital's promised exemption policy.
………………
The next day, Xiao Ran carried Xiao Ning on her back in a large swaddling cloth and set off with her students. The few of them lined up and walked on the streets.
When they encountered scraps of paper on the ground, they would squat down and pick them up before throwing them into the trash can.
When they encountered a shared bicycle that fell to the ground on the roadside, they would struggle to pick it up and put it neatly together.
When passers-by shot them curious, frightened, or disgusted looks, they would lower their heads and pinch their fingers with an inferior expression.
When they arrived at Fat Cat's supper stall, Fat Cat and Lin Tu were carrying a dirty second-hand oven and placing it in the tent of the new stall.
When they saw Xiao Ran and the frightened disabled students, the two of them smiled and greeted them. Then, they sat together and taught them how to make a cake. As Lin Tu and Fat Cat deliberately fawned over them, the students quickly smiled happily and began to study hard.
………………
As expected, Xiao Jing entered the big production team and became a small supporting role that she had always dreamed of. Xiao Rui, on the other hand, became the third female lead with the strong recommendation of the casting director. She entered a star-rated hotel and left a BMW Benz. Even the food she ate was custom-made stir-fried vegetables from a big restaurant, not the lunch box in Xiao Jing's hands.
Looking at Rui, who was surrounded by people and shining brightly, Xiao Jing's face was full of envy, and her eyes inadvertently revealed a trace of jealousy.
As time passed, Xiao Rui recommended Xiao Jing to one production team after another. Xiao Jing could no longer maintain her composure.
One night, Xiao Jing, who had been struggling for a long time in the corridor, knocked on the door of the casting director of the new production team with a pale face.
………………
Xiao Ran and her disabled student's cupcakes sold very well at the new stall. Although the customers were still a little afraid at first, the cupcakes that were made into small animals and smeared with various kinds of jam were very tempting. From time to time, people would pay to buy them.
Fat Cat brought the bowls of dough to Ran's supper stall next door. Looking at the excited Ran and the students, she wiped her sweat and looked satisfied. The swaddled Xiao Ning endured the occasional pain and smiled at him.
Late at night, Xiao Ran and her students were cleaning up their stall. Fat Cat happily brought them a few plates of Egg Fried Rice. Xiao Ran took it and thanked him. Then, she sat beside him and started eating. From time to time, she would even look up at Fat Cat.
Xiao Jing arrived at the supper stall. When she saw this scene, she kicked the table in front of her fiercely and shouted at Fat Cat, who had a confused look on her face, as she bit into a plate of Egg Fried Rice.
Not long after, Fat Cat served the Egg Fried Rice. As usual, there was a poached egg for her. She first nodded in satisfaction and ate a few mouthfuls. Then, she threw the spoon away and cried. No matter how the nervous Fat Cat asked, she just shook her head and did not answer.
………………
Xia Xiong and Li Yi found Lin Tu and Fat Cat again and said with a bitter face. They had already bought the second-hand cold-filling equipment, but under the circumstances of continuous production, because the factory did not have specialized storage equipment and the weather was hot, the apple juice concentrate used as raw material had already deteriorated on a large scale. Many of the products produced did not meet the quality inspection standards.
The two of them looked at Lin Tu expectantly, hoping that he could invest another three million to buy a cold storage warehouse to store raw materials.
Lin Tu checked the information on his phone and pondered for a long time before finally nodding.
After the two of them left, Lin Tu called his father again with an ugly expression. After a series of pleading, his father finally agreed to give him only 2 million yuan. Lin Tu had to figure out the rest himself.
Lin Tu reluctantly sold his modified 911 to a friend, ignoring his friend's teasing. He walked out of the garage and gave Xia Xiong a call…
………………
Xiao Jing stared at the casting director in front of her and threw away the contract in her hand, scolding him for lying to her. The casting director shrugged indifferently and reached out to signal her to leave. Xiao Jing left angrily.
The makeup on Xiao Jing's face slowly thickened. She knocked on the doors one after another with a very skillful posture. The producer, casting director, live director, makeup artist, and so on were all present.
After being stood up time and time again, her expression became numb and indifferent.
On this day, she suddenly received a call from an unknown number. After a while, Xiao Jing hung up the phone. Her originally numb face revealed a conflicted look again, and her eyes flickered.
………………
There were more and more troublemakers at Fat Cat's and the disabled students 'supper stalls. Some of them claimed that they had eaten something unclean and loudly demanded compensation. Although Fat Cat argued, business gradually declined.
Xiao Jing came to Fat Cat's supper stall more often. Every time she finished eating the Egg Fried Rice, she would curiously touch and look around in Fat Cat's kitchen. Fat Cat would enthusiastically explain to her what these things were and how to use them.
………………
Finally, one day, something happened to Xiao Ran's stall. An ambulance stopped at her stall with the disabled students and carried away two female customers who were clutching their stomachs.
The police, the Health Department, and reporters also rushed over. After a round of inspection, the technicians found excessive aflatoxin in the dough used to make the cake.
The pale Xiao Ran was taken away. A few days later, Fat Cat was informed that Xiao Ran had been charged with poisoning. However, considering her special circumstances and the help of Lin Tu's lawyer friend, she was finally fined 300,000 yuan.
Fat Cat sold her run-down house without a word and paid the fine on behalf of Xiao Ran. When Xiao Ran walked out of the court, no matter how tearfully she said that she was wronged, many media outlets were unmoved. They wrote many headlines such as "Teacher of the Disabled Academy refuses to plead guilty because of her special status".
Xiao Ran and the disabled students, who could not continue their business, were in low spirits. Fat Cat and Lin Tu kept comforting them. Fat Cat patted her chest and promised that she would continue the cake business and help Xiao Ning earn enough for her medical expenses.
So Fat Cat started to buy small cakes at his stall. Every time a customer passed by the shop, he would always recommend them to the other party.
With Fatty's continuous efforts, the business of the cupcakes gradually picked up again. Fatty, Lin Tu, and Xiao Ran counted the change seriously, hope on their faces.
………………
One day, Lin Tu received a phone call from his father. He was told that Xia Xiong and Li Yi were scammers. Lin Tu had invested two sums of money in the past and had not used them to purchase equipment. His father had already called the police on Lin Tu's behalf. Then, he mocked Lin Tu in a mocking tone, saying that he was a good-for-nothing.
The pale Lin Tu slumped on the stool in a daze. After a while, he opened the website on his phone, unwilling to give up. Sure enough, he found the arrest warrant for the two of them on the police station's official website.
Fat Cat and Little Ran came over to comfort her, and Fat Cat blamed herself.
Looking at their concerned gazes, Lin Tu's eyes gradually regained clarity. He smiled and said that it was nothing. Spending eight million to see through some things was worth it. With that, she took the small cake and tried her best to sell it to the passersby.
The scene changed, and Li Yi, who was wearing a hat, whispered into Xia Xiong's ear,""I don't feel at ease with this deal. Also, why didn't you call your wife?”
Xia Xiong's originally honest face revealed a trace of guilt, which turned into a ferocious expression."I finally understand. In this world, there's no way for honest people to survive.”
"As for my wife…I must be crazy to call another master to humiliate me after earning such a huge sum of money.”
………………
Xiao Jing, who was wearing heavy makeup and expensive clothes, came to Fat Cat's supper stall again and looked at him with an obscure expression.
Fat Cat looked at her sadly and asked softly,"You made it?"
Then, she made a plate of Egg Fried Rice, but the poached egg that belonged to her was no longer in it.
Xiao Jing looked at the plate of Egg-Fried Rice in a daze. Then, she laughed hysterically and left without looking back.
Not long after, Fat Cat's phone rang with a message. He opened it and saw that it was a voice message from Xiao Jing. She told Fatty that all of this was the trick of the real estate boss. He used the second female lead of a drama and 300,000 yuan in cash as a bargaining chip to get Xiao Jing to poison the dough of the small cake so that these people from the disabled school had no way out. In the end, they could only transfer the land of the disabled school to him with extremely low compensation.
The angry Fat Cat and Xiao Ran filed a lawsuit in court and reported the case to the police station, but because there was no concrete evidence, they could not file a case.
………………
On this day, a group of city officials suddenly raided Fat Cat's stall and said that Fat Cat was occupying a lot of land for business and had serious safety risks. They wanted to confiscate all kinds of equipment from the stall.
Fat Cat and Little Ran argued, saying that they had no experience in occupying the road. After a few rounds, the city manager became impatient and began to smash all kinds of things in the supper stall.
Fat Cat hugged the rice cooker with cake dough tightly and begged them not to smash the dough inside, but she still couldn't win against them. The dough in the rice cooker spilled on the ground. In the end, the city manager fiercely told Fat Cat that all of this was because Fat Cat didn't have good eyesight.
Fat Cat held up the inner container of dough and shouted in despair,"We've already done our best to survive. Why are you still treating us like this?？”
………………
Fat Cat and Xiao Ran came to the hospital. Together with the remaining money from Fat Cat's house purchase, they finally had enough money to pay for Xiao Ning's surgery.
The doctor told them that they had found a suitable bone marrow and could start the surgery at any time. However, the other party was paying for the bone marrow. They needed 500,000 yuan to provide the bone marrow. If they were to find a new bone marrow volunteer, it would take at least half a year. With Xiao Ning's situation, they might not be able to wait until then.
The two of them returned to the supper stall in a daze. Lin Tu quickly asked what was wrong. After Xiao Ran told him, Lin Tu called his father without saying anything.
His father refused mercilessly and told him that he would not pay a single cent for anything unrelated to business. He then hung up the phone.
Lin Tu made another call, and both parties started arguing over the phone. No matter how much Lin Tu argued and begged, his father was unmoved.
In the end, Lin Tu made a deal with his father in a hoarse voice. As long as his father was willing to fork out 500,000 yuan, he would give up his inheritance rights and sign a contract. The inheritance rights and resources would be transferred to his little mother, the child in his ex-girlfriend's stomach.
………………
At this moment, the movie was coming to an end, and the music of " Illusionary Day " began to play.
The three of them watched as Xiao Ning was pushed into the operating room.
The doctor came out and told the three that the operation was successful, but because the three of them could not afford the follow-up treatment fees, they could only guarantee that Xiao Ning's life would not be in danger for three years.
Fat Cat's stall's lease was up. Unable to pay the rent, he had to use the tricycle to drag all kinds of equipment away.
In the dilapidated handicapped academy, Fat Cat, Lin Tu, and Little Ran led a group of handicapped students to repair the broken wall.
At night, Fat Cat and Little Ran were strenuously pushing their tricycle, planning to set up a mobile stall by the roadside. Behind them, Lin Tu, who was grimacing in pain, carried two buckets of cooked noodles on his shoulder pole and hobbled along.
………………
As the screen darkened, Zhang Yueting finally exhaled the pent-up anger that he had been feeling for a long time. Finally, there was an acceptable ending.
Just as he heaved a sigh of relief,
The screen suddenly lit up.
An excavator stood at the entrance of the handicapped academy, surrounded by a dozen men.
Fat Cat and Lin Tu were pressed to the ground, while Little Ran and the disabled student were surrounded by those men.
A slightly plump figure appeared in the camera. He raised his right hand and hooked it gently."Humph! Fight me?"
The excavator's digging arm dug towards the screen…
And then…there was no more.
Subtitles began to appear, and the names of the staff began to appear on the screen.
Zhang Yueting almost spat out a mouthful of blood. The frustration in his chest was unbearable, and he spat out a curse,
"Director, I greet your mother!~!!”
