money from her friend Tang Mandong to temporarily settle their mother and Wen Jing. The three of them rented a small apartment; as the eldest, she had to take on the responsibility for the family. Tha...Chapter 230

The mountain road was hard to walk on, and the school was built at the top of a mountain. Some children had to walk for two hours along the山路才能到達學校。有的家庭太窮，中午什麼都不吃，隻有一些家庭勉強讓孩子吃點白米飯。

Warming asked an 8-year-old girl in detail; she wore a mustard yellow shirt and black pants, dressed quite thinly. She said that her family hadn't eaten meat for two years.

This made Warming's heart ache.

The reporters interviewed on site; although the interview scripts were written beforehand, when these children read them out, they seemed to be expressing their true feelings. Everyone present felt a little heartache listening to them.

Warming sighed; she hadn't expected such poor areas to exist near the bustling A City, where children couldn't even afford a piece of meat. Older children were prevented from attending school so that they could help with farm work.

The first reason was lack of money, and secondly, even if they completed primary school, they couldn’t afford the high fees for middle and high school.

Most kids here only studied until primary school before dropping out.

This public welfare activity aimed to encourage people from all walks of life to donate money or goods to help these pitiful children continue their education.

During the break, Warming overheard several celebrities accompanying them complain about when the interviews and activities would end so they could leave. Some mocked how the children were dressed, while others compared these children unfavorably to those from well-off families; hearing this made Warming feel uncomfortable in her heart.

She thought that everyone was sincerely participating in this public welfare activity.

Moment ago, they were so sincere in front of the camera, hugging and shaking hands with the children, full of warmth. But now, after turning around, they are complaining about how the children have dirtied their clothes and saying there is an unpleasant smell on them.

Warming leaned against a big tree, feeling warm but also thinking that if it was in the past, she might rush out to scold them for being ungrateful and lacking love. But now, as she gradually understands more things, what people show in front of the camera is just their performance there; you should never believe that's the true side of them.

The only thing worth celebrating is that these children don't know what the shiny big brothers and sisters think about them. They only see the fake compassionate side, which is enough.

Keep pretending like this without knowing each other’s thoughts. If a conflict breaks out over the kids' dream, it will hurt the children instead.

Sometimes, one doesn't need to be too serious about certain things.

Talking about this with Cai Xiaoqing, she just smiled and said, "It's all about getting used to it."

Yes, get used to it. She is slowly getting used to it. However, when feeling stifled in her heart, she would talk to Cai Xiaoqing. A talent agent is indeed a unique creature; they are both your housekeeper and your garbage can.

Zhuo Bingbing came over to chat with her. Zhuo Bingbing was also there just now but didn't say anything, only smiling. Warming thought that if she had been there, she would likely have done the same—just smiled.

"What are you chatting about with Sister Xiaoqing"

"It's fine, just chatting. When I get back, I'll think about how to raise donations," said Warmth with a smile. He would wait for Ye Feimo to return and discuss it together; he was more attentive, coupled with Sister Xiaojing’s capability in handling matters, so this should be quickly settled.

"Sister Xiaojing, even though Warmth isn't considered new anymore, wherever she goes, you follow her around. Are you worried that she might get lost" ZHUO Bingbing said with a smile, as Cai Xiaojing was the only agent who had come along.

"Sister Xiaojing, even though Warmth isn't considered new anymore, wherever she goes, you follow her around. Are you worried that she might get lost" ZHUO Bingbing said with a smile, as Cai Xiaojing was the only agent who had come along.

She had worked on a production set with Warmth before and thus knew clearly that Cai Xiaojing served her as a 24-hour butler. The rest of the people found it rather strange and were gossiping about this behind her back.

"There's nothing I can do; if I don't follow, I really would be worried she might get lost," said Cai Xiaojing with a smile too. She had little else to do, so accompanying Warmth and helping her handle some affairs was appropriate. In fact, these days, she didn’t often accompany Warmth anymore. When she first joined the industry, she followed more frequently; however, this was Warmth’s first time participating in public welfare activities, so it was necessary for her to personally bring Warmth along, but once she got familiar with everything, there would be no need.

After chatting for a while, they finished filming another segment and then wrapped up the day's work.

Mighty knowing their thoughts, Warmth couldn't help feeling somewhat uncomfortable in her heart.

As soon as she got on the bus, she started leaning against it to sleep. A few people came over wanting to chat with her but were blocked by Cai Xiaojing. This time around, among those accompanying Warmth for the public welfare program, some were well-established stars while others had significant fame too. As a newcomer, Warmth should have mingled more and gotten closer to them. When they arrived, she did chat with them; however, during filming, there was almost no conversation other than answering questions when asked. On the way back, she fell asleep without batting an eyelid, which naturally made people think that she was somewhat arrogant and putting on airs.

As a newcomer who had just risen to prominence, acting so big would inevitably lead others to talk.

Warmth didn't care about what others thought; she simply let them think whatever they wanted.

She doesn't like dealing with these people, and she had already told Cai Xiaojing about it. Cai Xiaojing simply said that it was fine and that she could just sleep in the car.

With Cai Xiaojing's words, Wen Ran felt relieved and no longer cared about what others thought.

When they returned to City A, Wen Ran’s mother called. Coincidentally, the whole family was going to her uncle’s house for dinner that evening, so it was very late when they got home. Zhuo Bingbing invited Cai Xiaojing and Wen Ran to have dinner together.

They had rarely met since filming the TV series ended, so they didn’t reject this rare opportunity to catch up.

Zhuo Bingbing and her friends went to a well-known Chinese restaurant for dinner. Both Wen Ran and Cai Xiaojing prefer Chinese cuisine; Zhuo Bingbing knew their preferences and chose a place where they both had previously enjoyed dining.

However, today’s situation was somewhat unusual: the main hall was empty, with only a few private rooms occupied by guests. Apparently, someone famous was having dinner there and didn't like crowds, so the manager cleared out the main area, serving only those who had booked rooms in advance.

Zhuo Bingbing knew the owner of the restaurant personally; coincidentally, one room became available just as they arrived, allowing them to dine smoothly.

"Who's such a big shot that their meal requires emptying out the main hall That’s way too much," Zhuo Bingbing asked the manager. The manager only smiled and said he didn’t know; Zhuo Bingbing shrugged but didn't press it since they weren't going to eat in the main area anyway.

Wen Ran, flipping through the menu, remarked, "What's so strange about that In our country, there are all sorts of odd things. When leaders go out, streets get cleared and traffic is restricted. So what’s weird about clearing a dining hall for someone's meal"

Cai Xiaojing smiled; the three simultaneously recalled news from a few days earlier about traffic control due to a leader visiting, matching their thoughts in perfect harmony.dn’t mind if Warm had been with Ye Nifen as long as she still loved him in her heart.After all, she followed Ye Nifen mainly for her father's sake, and it was all his doing.
