House Dad's Literary Life Chapter 232

Chapter 232 – The Importance of Trust and Integrity

Mo Fei has been back for a few days, but didn’t see Jin Yingming at the company.

In the first two days, Mo Fei didn’t think much about it because her work schedule involved discussing the corresponding plot of the songs with the director and screenwriter hired by the company.

Obviously, Mo Fei wouldn’t act in a movie. Even if there were music video shoots later on, Mo Fei would have needed to partic.i.p.ate in some scenes, but that would have been only to capture her natural singing. As for the lead actors in the music video, the company would invite some young actors to take on those roles, but the script still required Mo Fei’s approval.

However, even after discussing the general plot of the music video, Jing Yingming still hadn’t appeared. Mo Fei finally couldn’t help but ask Mo Xiaojuan to inquire.

“The people over there said that Sister Ling is helping you coordinate schedules with Teacher Duan, and wants Teacher Duan to take over Teacher Jin’s position.” Mo Xiaojuan ran back quickly and said happily, “Look, Big Sister, isn’t the company starting to value you?”

Indeed, they valued her greatly. Not only has the filming of the music video been put on the agenda but now Niu Meiling was also considering Mo Fei’s feelings and wanted to bring back Duan Shurong, who was currently producing Zhenzhen’s new alb.u.m, to work with Mo Fei. Tianmei was showing their sincerity this time!

Seeing that they were trying to s.n.a.t.c.h back Zhenzhen’s producer, Mo Xiaojuan felt very happy in her heart. Her previous grievances were instantly cleared, and she felt great!

However, Mo Fei didn’t seem very happy. She furrowed her brow and thought for a long time before saying to Mo Xiaojuan, “Xiaojuan, go and tell Sister Ling that I don’t want to change Teacher Jin. I want to work on this alb.u.m with Teacher Jin.”

“Ah?” Mo Xiaojuan was a bit surprised and asked puzzledly, “Isn’t Teacher Duan more capable? You’ve worked with her many times, and don’t you like Teacher Duan the most?”

“I do really like Teacher Duan, and I don’t deny that Teacher Duan’s level is indeed higher than Teacher Jin’s. Of course, Teacher Jin is not bad either. But the most important thing is that we must not betray our trust and integrity.” Mo Fei said earnestly to Mo Xiaojuan, “Teacher Jin has helped me a lot in the early stages of this alb.u.m, and he has already completed the arrangements of most of the songs. How can we abandon him now?”

Mo Xiaojuan was most troubled by Mo Fei lecturing her about principles. She quickly grabbed Mo Fei’s hand and said, “No problem, Big Sister, you can have any teacher you like to be your producer. I’ll go and talk to Sister Ling now.”

……

At Chuntian Kindergarten, even though it was the weekend, Xixi was still very happy because her little friend Lan Xin has finally returned.

“Xin’er, I missed you so much!” As soon as they met, Xixi and a few little girls happily ran over, grabbed Lan Xin’s hand, and said cheerfully.

“Hehe, Xixi, didn’t you come to my house to play last night?”

“Yes!”

“Then why do you still miss me?”

“But yesterday you didn’t come, so I missed you.”

“Well, but when we come back to school after the holidays, you don’t miss me.” Lan Xin mentioned holidays, but it was actually just the weekend.

“I do, I do!” Xixi anxiously defended, “I missed you a lot.”

“Hehe, alright, Xixi, you are my best friend,” Lan Xin happily hugged Xixi, although she wasn’t as tall as Xixi.

Xixi also happily hugged Lan Xin and said, “Xin’er, you are also my best friend.”

At this moment, Chen Shiyun, who had just hopped by, turned her head and shouted, “Xixi, how can you say that? I am your best friend.”

Xixi quickly waved her hand and pulled both Lan Xin and Chen Shiyun together, and said, “You are all my best friends.”

In fact, the scene of Chen Shiyun and Lan Xin “competing for the wind and being jealous” often happened, and usually, during such moments, there would be Yang Luoqi’s aggrieved little voice next to them, saying softly, “What about me?”1

However, she didn’t appear today!

“Where’s Qiqi?” Xixi discovered the problem.

They didn’t see Yang Luoqi until the start of the cla.s.s. Fortunately, after Teacher Mu came in, she talked about the situation of the absent children today, including Yang Luoqi.

“Today, we are very happy to see Xin’er return healthy, but as you may have noticed, three children are absent today, including… Qiqi.” Teacher Mu mentioned the names of the three children, of course not to blame them. “Qiqi’s father called and told me that Qiqi woke up with a cold this morning and needs to go to the hospital for treatment.”

Xixi and Lan Xin turned their heads and looked at each other. Although the two girls were well-behaved and didn’t whisper, they could both see each other’s surprise. “Ah, Qiqi is also sick!”

“Recently, there has been a high incidence of flu, children. Whether at home or at school, you need to pay attention to keeping warm. If you sneeze or have a runny nose, be sure to inform the teacher or your parents quickly!” Teacher Mu continued with her advice.

But the little girls’ minds were no longer focus on this.

After a short lesson on learning Pinyin, Xixi, Lan Xin, Nan Zhaoyu, and Chen Shiyun, these little friends, gathered together.

“Qiqi is sick, I want to go see Qiqi,” Lan Xin spoke first, holding Xixi’s little hand. “Because when I was sick, Xixi came to see me, and Qiqi is also my good friend. I want to go see her!”

“I want to go too!” Xixi raised her other little hand high, her face full of excitement, as if she were signing up for some fun activity.

“That’s great! I want to go see Qiqi with Xixi,” Lan Xin jumped up and down happily.

“Hehe, yes, let’s go together,” Xixi also jumped up and down.

“I also want to go, but my dad might be busy.” Nan Zhaoyu said with a bit of disappointment, “And my mom doesn’t know how to drive.”

“Then I can ask Papa to come and pick you up,” Xixi said quickly with a flash of inspiration in her mind.” “My Papa’s car is very big and can take you and your Mama together.”

“I also want to ride in Xixi’s dad’s car.” said Lan Xin with a hint of envy. Of course, she didn’t think that Xixi’s dad’s car was luxurious. There were more luxury cars in their garage. The little girl just thought it would be fun to ride with her friends.

“But my Papa’s car can’t fit too many people,” Xixi said hesitantly. “My Papa’s car can only fit four people. That’s what my Papa said, so it can’t fit Xin’er anymore.” 2

“Okay then, I’ll ask my dad’s driver to take me.” Lan Xin didn’t mind.

“Chen Shiyun, do you want to come too?” Xixi turned to Chen Shiyun, who had been silent all along, and asked expectantly.

Chen Shiyun pouted and pretended to be reluctant, saying, “Okay, I’ll go too, but my dad also has a car, so I don’t need to ride with you guys!”

“Hehe, then let’s hook our pinky fingers and go see Qiqi together,” Xixi said happily.

The group of little friends happily made this decision and set it for tomorrow, which happened to be a Sat.u.r.day, a day off.

However, they had no idea what they were actually doing.

In the evening, Yang Yi heard Xixi saying that she wanted to visit her little friend. He initially intended to agree, but as soon as he heard that Yang Luoqi had caught a cold, he shook his head.

“No, this is not possible. Colds are contagious. What if you catch a cold too?” Yang Yi explained.

However, Xixi didn’t listen to the explanation this time and cried in grievance.

Everyone had agreed to visit Qiqi, so how could they break their promise? Xixi felt like her father made her betray her little friends, and she cried sadly!

As she cried, Yang Yi was moved by his pitiful daughter’s tears.

He thought carefully and felt that a cold wasn’t so scary. Would visiting a sick person automatically mean getting infected with the virus? It didn’t seem like a 100% probability, right? He himself hadn’t caught a cold!

Moreover, in Yang Yi’s mind, the words “trust” and “integrity” were indeed important. Whether it was his predecessor or his previous life, it didn’t matter if others kept their word or not, but when it came to his own brothers, he absolutely couldn’t be without trust and integrity!

Thinking this way, Yang Yi also felt that he shouldn’t let Xixi betray her trust and integrity over a little difficulty.

“Look! Tomorrow, we’ll go visit Qiqi. Papa was wrong, Xixi. Papa will take you to see Qiqi tomorrow.” Yang Yi promised.

Xixi finally stopped crying and smiled through her tears.
