Chapter 482 - Poverty Beyond Imagination
It was said that the incident at the mall had been successfully resolved by Yun Xiangxiang, and the progress of the movie was considerable.
After a month and a half of cooperation, Xie Manliang also acknowledged Yun Xiangxiang’s work attitude and ability. Xie Manliang quickly approved her request for half a month’s leave.
Xie Manliang had already approved it, and half of the people in charge of the production team were from worldwide entertainment, so they naturally had no objections.
In the evening, Yun Xiangxiang told Song Mian about it. “I still don’t know where the event will be. If there’s no signal, don’t blame me.”
This event was equivalent to half a reality show, and the goal was to attract more people’s attention to the poor areas.
There was really no signal in many parts of the country, so Yun Xiangxiang had to warn Song Mian in advance.
“Aren’t you going to drive the RV?” Song Mian said. “It’s easy to set up a wireless surveillance video transmission system in the RV.”
“If I drive the RV, I’ll probably be sprayed to death by people.” Yun Xiangxiang had no intention of doing that, so she kept the RV.
However, although Yun Xiangxiang was not an internet addict, she did not want to lose contact with her parents. She had to tell her parents that she was safe every day, and she was used to video-chatting with Song Mian every day. Yun Xiangxiang was still a little unaccustomed to being disconnected for a week.
“Other than the RV, is there any other way to set up a signal system?”
“Yes, two more devices will do. You have to confirm where you are going first.” This was a simple task for Song Mian.
“I’ve asked Brother Wei to ask. He should have an answer soon.” Yun Xiangxiang felt a little helpless.
It was impossible to decide on a location at the last minute. Otherwise, there would be no preparation at all and accidents could happen.
They were about to set off for the place they had decided on, but they were still unwilling to reveal it. There was only one possibility.
The place was remote and backward. It was so poor that it was beyond imagination. They were afraid to tell them in advance. Once they learned about the local situation, they would rather self-harm than go there.
There were too many things like this. The organizers were probably afraid that they would be stood up at the last minute. The artists were injured and sick, so they could not force them to go, right.
“I’ll go and check it out.” Song Mian also knew the reason behind this. “Leave the rest to me.”
“If it makes too much of a commotion, then forget it.” Yun Xiangxiang would follow them the entire time. Yun Xiangxiang didn’t want to think too much about it.
“Don’t worry, I know what to do.” Song Mian Knew Yun Xiangxiang’s thoughts too well.
Yun Xiangxiang felt at ease when she thought about how Song Mian would handle things.
She did not know if Song Mian had played a role, but Yun Xiangxiang knew where they were going before they went to bed.
Longzhong!
It was a place with a long history, but it was a place with many vicissitudes of life.
The organizer had set a place for them. Yun Xiangxiang only heard She Wei say. “The salary of the teachers there is less than 200 yuan.”
One could imagine how poor that place was!
It was said that the average annual income there might not be more than 500 yuan, and the total assets of many families added up to less than 100 yuan.
Yun Xiangxiang was dumbfounded. When she was filming “College Dream,” the salary of the teachers in that place in Sichuan province was 800 yuan. She already felt that it was so low that it made her heart ache.
To think that the salary of the teachers in this place was actually less than 200 yuan today……
“Young master said that you don’t need to prepare the things for this event. She will personally arrange for someone to prepare them for you.” Song Qian received a call from Song Mian when she was chatting with He Wei.
“I got it.” Yun Xiangxiang stood up and went to get her phone that was charging in her room.
As expected, there were a few missed calls from Song Mian. Considering the time difference, she did not call him again but sent him a message instead.
[ It’s so nice to have a boyfriend (^)]
There was no need to say thank you. Besides, Yun Xiangxiang thought that Song Mian would arrange everything for her. It was practical and not eye-catching.
She was the one who went to call for help, not someone who would really suffer. She went there personally and did the publicity seriously. As long as she did her best, she would not suffer.
“I think there will be many people who will run away at the last minute,” He Wei said after giving Yun Xiangxiang the information that she had found out.
“It’s okay to run away at the last minute. I just can’t endure this hardship. Can’t I just not earn this reputation?” Yun Xiangxiang did not look down on such a person.
Doing public welfare was just a kind of moral friendship. Not everyone had an obligation.
If they were willing, they had to pay more. If they were not willing, it did not mean that they were not a good person.
As long as she earned money openly and lived an honest life, she would still be a good citizen even if she did not do good deeds.
Even if she did charity with a purpose, as long as the purpose was not to break the law, Yun Xiangxiang supported it. At least she did the publicity and some people benefited.
It was noble to give without expecting anything in return, but only when there was something to be gained would it flow slowly.
“You are always so strict with yourself and lenient with others.” He Wei sometimes did not know what to say. Yun Xiangxiang about it carefully.
“I just don’t want to worry too much.” Yun Xiangxiang was in a good mood. “Brother Wei, many people you know don’t like her behavior, but will she change it just because you don’t like it?”
He Wei shook his head.
“Yes, she won’t change. “But you can’t avoid contact with these people. Instead of making it difficult for you to get along with him every day, it’s better to think about her merits and not ask too much of him. It’s never been leniency to him, it’s purely to make him pleasing to the eye.”
“So it can be like this?” He Wei was shocked by the logic that Yun Xiangxiang of.
“Why not?” Yun Xiangxiang felt that there was nothing wrong with it. She had always been like this, so there were very few people that she disliked.
As long as this person did not cause a bad influence on her, did not have any conflicts of interest with her, and could not be completely ignored, she would of course do whatever she pleased.
“I think I need to keep my distance from you.” He Wei really acted as if he was serious and moved a little bit.
He clearly felt that there was something wrong, but she had no way to refute Yun Xiangxiang’s thoughts. This was not good.
In the long run, he would definitely be brainwashed by Yun Xiangxiang’s thoughts.
He did not want to be such a kind person. This was not suitable for him.
Yun Xiangxiang secretly laughed. She did not force He Wei to accept the way she treated people. Everyone had their own thoughts.
“I’ll go with you.” He Wei straightened his face and said.
“Other artists also bring their managers?” Yun Xiangxiang did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Can the organizers let you go?”
Weren’t they worried that the managers would treat the artists like their ancestors?
She vaguely remembered that the organizers had requested that they could not bring their assistants, not to mention their managers.
He Wei was worried about her and wanted to pick a fight with the organizers.
“This is my business. You are already young. If anything happens to you, will they be able to take responsibility?” Of course, He Wei had thought clearly about how to get the organizers to accept him before she told Yun Xiangxiang.
“I don’t think so.” Yun Xiangxiang rejected him. “If I can’t take it, I will run away too.”
