Chapter 87 Full of personal grudges, no fatherly love

"Ah? Dad, did you get a big year-end bonus?" Chu Ze was surprised.

Lao Deng has made a lot of money and is willing to give away gold coins!
"What a bullshit year-end bonus! It's just one month's salary." Chu Mingtao got angry when he heard about the year-end bonus.

The boss said that if the performance of the factory is good, the year-end bonus will be high?

Why does the performance seem to have never been good since he joined the factory, but the boss's car is getting more and more high-end?

Weird.

"Then how could you afford to go to such a high-end restaurant? How much does it cost?" Chu Ze was also puzzled.

Chu Mingtao's willingness to explode gold coins is more confusing than his factory's performance.

"It doesn't matter whether it's money or not. The main thing is that you come back once in several months, so you should at least have a good meal, right? You can suffer for anything but not for your stomach." Chu Mingtao was driving while his words made Chu Ze almost cry.

"Dad, when did you become so loving as a father? I'm so touched!" Chu Ze said.

Although he usually takes care of his son, Chu Mingtao is still his father after all. Deep down, he really cares about and loves his son.

"Don't be too moved." Chu Mingtao glanced at the rearview mirror, thinking that he would definitely move you to tears soon.

A few hours later.

As expected, Chu Ze walked out of the restaurant with tears in his eyes, looking at the bill in his hand that was so big that it could wrap around his waist, and the notification on his phone that 5,000 yuan had been deducted.

During this meal, Chu Mingtao made him fully experience the warmth of home.

He is indeed my biological father.

Full of personal grudges and no fatherly love.

Although I am rich now and don't feel bad about a mere 5,000 yuan, it is not a question of how much money you have. It's like if you voluntarily donate 1,000 yuan, you are willing to do so, but if you are cheated out of 10 yuan, then fuck you.

He understood the pain Chu Mingtao felt when he had cheated him of all his private money.

Chu Mingtao: Son, how many floors do you have to carry a bag of rice to (feel the pain)!
Last time I cheated you out of your private money, and now you’re doing this to me?
Okay, okay, this is how you play, right?
"Thank you, brother, for treating us to dinner." Chu Wanqing came up from behind and patted Chu Ze's shoulder with a gloating look on his face.

"I was wondering why you call me brother so often. Are you waiting for me here?" Chu Ze rolled his eyes at her and said unhappily.

"Hehe." Chu Wanqing laughed as soon as he heard it.

"Fuck you!" Chu Ze was so angry.

"Can't I even smile?" Chu Wanqing laughed even more upon seeing this.

"Okay! You're laughing, right? Then let me ask you, how did you do in your final exam?" Chu Ze glanced at her and asked a soul-searching question.

Chu Wanqing's smile suddenly froze.

"It's okay."

"How good is it? Am I in the top 100 in the grade?" Chu Ze asked again.

"..."

"Is the total score over 600?"

"..."

"Can I get into Jiangda?"

"..."

"If you fail to get into Jiang University, your one million will be gone. What will you do then?"

"..."

Chu Ze used a series of smooth moves to torture Chu Wanqing madly.

Smile!

Keep laughing!

Chu Wanqing's mouth shrank, and her face fell. The western food she had just eaten suddenly lost its flavor. Chu Ze sneered in his heart, are you playing with me?

The main focus is on mutual harm.

……

After returning home from dinner, Chu Ze lay down on the bed in his bedroom for the first time in a long time. He took out his mobile phone and checked Weibo, and found that Xia Anruo had posted on Weibo the news that she would collaborate with him to release a new song as he said.

As soon as this news was released, netizens were shocked.

What's happening here?
Is this a broken jar?

In the current understanding of netizens, if the equation Tudou = Cai Qinghong holds true, wouldn't it be tantamount to self-exposure if he directly announced that he had invited Tudou to be his exclusive lyricist and composer?

But soon some smart netizens discovered...

That’s not right. Cai Qinghong has already gone to jail. How can we cooperate?

And judging from what was said on Weibo, a new song will be released next.

Cai Qinghong definitely can’t write it.

Therefore, many netizens analyzed that An Ruo’s Weibo post meant to clarify in disguise that Tu Dou’s real identity has nothing to do with Cai Qinghong.

"Could it be that this potato really isn't Cai Qinghong?"

"Who knows? Maybe they are just trying to trick everyone and get the matter over with. Netizens don't have memories anyway and will forget about it after a while."

"If all of An Ruo's subsequent songs were written by this Tu Dou, then it means it's definitely not Cai Qinghong."

"How do you know she won't just find someone else to write a few songs and pretend that they were written by this so-called potato?"

"When An Ruo releases a new song, we'll know what quality it is. If it doesn't reach the quality of these three songs, it will be treated as fraud."

Some netizens chose to believe it, some more rational netizens chose to wait and see, and wait for An Ruo to release a new song before making a conclusion. Of course, there are also more extreme ones who just scold you no matter what you say.

It has to be said that this time the news did play a certain role in preventing the collapse of word-of-mouth. Although the reputation did not recover immediately, at least it has changed from the previous one-sided condemnation across the entire network to the current mixed situation of praise and criticism. The voices condemning An Ruo for collaborating with drug-addicted songwriters have also become much smaller, and the heat of this matter has temporarily dropped.

However, Xia Anruo couldn't be happy at this moment, not because her reputation had declined a lot, but because her song would be removed from the new song chart in three days, and "The First Dream" was still a certain distance away from the top of the list.

Although the data of the new album has now resumed its upward trend, it is naturally much lower than before, not to mention compared with Xu Ya's current album.

The gap is only getting bigger and bigger now. It is almost impossible to make a reversal with only three days left. The ranking on the new song chart is almost set in stone.

Not only the new song chart, but also Xia Anruo's album sales were suppressed by Xu Ya.

It ranked second on both the sales chart and the new song chart.

It really seems like he's going to be the second in command.

If this continues, Xia Anruo will be defeated miserably in this album competition.

In the villa.

Xia Anruo was wearing sportswear and treading on the treadmill, her cheeks, which were red from the exercise, were covered with beads of sweat.

"Currently, the album sales rank second. On the new song chart, 'The First Dream' ranks second, and 'Young and Promising' and 'The Wind Rises' are fourth and fifth respectively. Although none of them won first place, these results are actually quite good." Liao Qinghui reported the current new album data and glanced at Xia Anruo cautiously.

Xia Anruo said nothing, but just kept speeding up the treadmill.

Although she didn't say anything, it could be seen from her gloomy and cold expression that Xia Anruo was not in a good mood at the moment.

And crazy exercise is her current way of venting.

Victory seemed in sight, but it fell through within a few days and the situation returned to the pre-liberation era overnight.

This feeling of being given hope and then brought to despair is not a pleasant one.

She could accept failure in a fair contest of physical strength, but she really could not accept this kind of failure as a result of a sneak attack.
