Han Dong still secretly signed on with Wang Zhongding's company.

But that did not prevent him from carrying out his plan, and if the former confrontation with Wang Zhongding was purely picking a fight, now it was revenge, pure and simple.

Damn it! He doesn't even want to change my furniture!

Your father will not count on you anymore, he will produce ample food and clothing with his own hands!

Han Dong usually liked to pick up some junk and bring it to the dormitory, to top it off, today he returned while carrying a tree trunk on his back. Zhang Xinghu was just about to go out when he saw Han Dong's situation and was instantly scared out of his pants.

"Heavens! you......How did you get this on the elevator?"

Han Dong adopted an air of bravery and replied: "I didn't take the elevator, I climbed the stairs."

Zhang Xinghu gasped in astonishment: "You have really formed an addiction, is this thing meant to make a much thicker musical instrument? For an elephant to blow, right?"

"It's you who would fucking use this to make a musical instrument! I've got it to make a bed."

Personally sawed a log off to make a bed, how much effort did you put into this? Zhang Xinghu more and more admired Han Dong's relaxed frame of mind.

"Why don't you buy one?"

"No money."

"If you'd told me before, I'd have lent you money." Zhang Xinghu assumed an air of generosity.

Unexpectedly/to his surprise, Han Dong waved his hand and refused with a cold tone of voice: "Keep in mind, your grandfather will not invest a cent!".

......

On set, Li Shang got scolded again by the director in front of everyone.

"Your body language is so out of place, how many times have I told you? Acting is about giving subtle nuances to a character, if the details are not fine-tuned, how do you create an emotionally realistic performance?"

The manager stepped forward, "Director, let him rest for a little while, I see you also are tired."

The director impatiently waved his hand, "Forget it, let's call it a day."

Li Shang's assistant was busy yakking on the phone not far away, when the manager saw that, his voice broke into a roar.

"What are you talking for? Hurry up and bring a towel over here/ Hurry up and go get a towel, [you] have absolutely no observation skills."

Li Shang, for one, was still in a good mood, even teased the assistant, "What are you chatting about? Laughing happily like that."

"Chatting about the great immortal of our company, I heard that he is a mysterious person, many people seek him for a calculation."

Li Shang's heart suddenly leaped as he heard the two words "great immortal", yet he didn't dare to directly ask who it was, only probed, "Doesn't CEO Wang particularly dislike feudal superstitions?"

That's why [I'm] telling [you], this man is very mysterious! Even CEO Wang couldn't get rid of him, ha ha ha......"

Shortly after returning to the hotel, the manager then went to Li Shang's room.

"I have checked, his name is Han Dong."

For whatever reason, Li Shang unknowingly smiled when he heard this name, it was especially difficult to describe his complicated feelings.

It was meant to be, so it happened......

"However, I looked at the list of newly signed artists and he wasn't on it. He has been in the company for more than half a month, has changed two managers, and eventually ended up with nothing definite. The way our company's been "fixated" with you, CEO Wang simply doesn't take him seriously, the matter of him staying or leaving is likely still pending." The manager analyzed.

Li Shang, however, stayed clear-headed, he remembered Liang Jing mentioning the "Forbidden five", and couldn't help but sigh and said: "With CEO Wang's temperament, keeping Han Dong for this long was already a miracle."

"But you also should consider the flip side, each bad point is also a fatal factor that limits his growth. What kind of person is CEO Wang? Would he tolerate deceit? Think about your former roommates, which one of them didn't have superior qualifications? Moreover, don't forget, what he has, you have, what he doesn't have, you also have."

Li Shang was silent.

The manager patted Li Shang on the shoulder and said: "Don't overthink it, you two simply aren't on the same level, worrying is not only unhelpful but, on the contrary, it's only making you feel worse about yourself."

......

A piece of land located east of the Zhongding headquarters has been landscaped and converted into a "private manor". If Xia Hongwei is free and has nothing to do he would come there to feed the fish, a nine feet figure standing imposingly on the small bridge, combined with the pond, wooden pavilion, and swans......would certainly please the eye.

"Is the Chinese yew tree that was transported from America alive?" Xia Hongwei asked casually.

Talking about this Wang Zhongding had quite a sense of achievement. "It almost died when I just transported it here, I have invited domestic experts from everywhere, struggled for more than two months, and finally saved it."

"You really set your mind on doing it, if I were you I would drop it by now."

"Right, your mind is already bent on paying for the damages."

Xia Hongwei glanced sideways at Wang Zhongding, "Do you believe I will chop a branch off your tree?"

"If you dare to break a branch off the tree, I will remove one of your arms."

Xia Hongwei instantly sprinkled the remaining fish bait into the water, coldly humphed and said: "Then I will really have to go and chop two branches off."

The two of them chatted and laughed while walking over to the forest, in addition to the Chinese yew tree, there were also other tree species. However, people were hired to routinely cater to these other species, while Wang Zhongding personally cared only for the Chinese yew tree.

"That tree is over 300 years old, right?" Xia Hongwei also asked.

Wang Zhongding said: "It is almost 600 years old."

"That old? I really couldn't tell."

"The growth of wild Chinese yew tree is slow, in ten years it also can't grow as thick as a finger."

"The way you said it, that tree must be worth a lot of money?"

"It cost 370,000 USD when I bought it, and now I would not sell it even if someone gives me 3.7 million USD."

As he spoke, he walked to a highly elaborate secure fence and opened a small iron gate. The two men were stunned at the same time, the first sight that met their eyes was a bare tree trunk......
