Chapter 9 Random Missions in the Film and Television World

Cheng worked in his taxi until 10 p.m. When he finished his day's work and returned his taxi, he happily counted the 200 yuan he had earned, and the sense of satisfaction seemed to warm the whole night.

Afterwards, he bought a large bunch of fragrant roasted lamb skewers from a street stall. The enticing aroma filled the air, and he happily walked home.

Just then, an infuriating scene came into Cheng Yi's view.

Wang Aijia was entangled with a drunken man. The man slurred, "Little girl, you have no friends, and I have no friends either. Aren't we ready-made friends?"

Wang Aijia, her face filled with terror, frantically struck the drunkard with her small bag, shouting, "Help!"

However, for some reason, Cheng Yi was the only person on this road at this moment.

Upon seeing this, Cheng carefully tied up his plastic bag containing the skewers. Then, without hesitation, he rushed forward and kicked the drunkard hard.

The drunkard cried out in pain and turned around, only to have Cheng Yi's fist strike his face like lightning.

Then, Cheng Yi kicked the drunkard between the legs. The drunkard screamed in pain and fell to his knees.

Cheng Yi quickly grabbed Wang Aijia's hand and whispered, "Run!"

The two stumbled and ran into an alley. Inside, Cheng Yi pressed Wang Aijia's body tightly against the wall, their faces close together, their heavy breathing mingling in the cramped space, instantly creating an awkward atmosphere.

Cheng Yi thought to himself, "Wow, isn't this the legendary wall slam? Close your eyes. If you dare to close your eyes, I'll let you taste the flavor of my tongue."

Unfortunately, Wang Aijia did not close her eyes, and the two remained in an awkward stalemate for a short while.

Finally, Wang Aijia broke the silence and asked, "Brother Cheng, why are you still outside at this hour?"

Cheng listened attentively for a while, and when she didn't notice anyone chasing after her, she replied, "And you're talking about me? What about you? Why haven't you gone home yet, you little girl?"

Wang Aijia thought for a moment and said, "You go first."

Cheng Yi waved the skewers in his hand and said, "I just drove back from the night and bought some skewers. I was on my way home when I saw a little girl being bullied, so I went to help."

Wang Aijia pouted and said, "Then, can you get me one of your skewers?"

Cheng nodded and said, "Sure, it's not fun for me to eat alone. It would be great to have a pretty girl keep me company while I eat!"

Wang Aijia smiled smugly, and then tentatively asked, "Brother Cheng, am I really that beautiful?"

Cheng laughed and said, "Of course, everyone knows that ten of them are a single flower."

Wang Aijia laughed and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "What flower? Nonsense!"

However, the expression on his face showed considerable satisfaction.

After running all the way, the two finally returned to the apartment complex. They went upstairs together to Cheng Yi's home.

Cheng Yi arranged the meat skewers, opened a beer, and thoughtfully opened a bottle of Beibingyang beer for Wang Aijia.

Wang Aijia showed no stage fright, raising her bottle of Arctic Ocean soda with gratitude in her eyes, and said, "Brother Cheng, thank you so much for today. You helped my mom catch that swindler during the day, and you saved me tonight. Come on, let's have a toast."

As she spoke, her cup gently clinked against Cheng Yi's.

Cheng Yi laughed and teased, "I didn't expect you to be such a heroine, daring to come to a single man's house for drinks and skewers in the middle of the night."

Wang Aijia responded nonchalantly, "What's there to be afraid of? As long as I shout, my parents will hear me. Besides, we grew up together, do you think I don't know what kind of person you are?"

Cheng Yi smiled and pressed, "Oh? So confident? Then tell me, what kind of person am I?"

Wang Aijia thought for a moment, then scratched her head with the bamboo skewer in her hand and said, "Hey, yeah, I didn't even notice if you hadn't said anything. Brother Cheng, you've always been the quiet type, never one to talk much, but today you seem like a completely different person?"

Cheng Yi smiled and said, "It's normal for people to change a little. For example, I never knew you were still out so late."

Wang Aijia said helplessly, "Actually, it's just that my mom and dad nag too much. They keep saying I'm not looking for a partner. Although it's said that men should marry when they're of age and women should marry when they're of age, finding a partner isn't that easy."

Cheng nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, you're right. You can't rush into finding a partner. If you rush, you'll make mistakes, and those mistakes can last a lifetime."

Wang Aijia shoveled a piece of meat into her mouth and continued, "That's right, Brother Cheng. My mom said Liu Yong is a good guy. We're about the same age, but Liu Yong is like a child, always playing around. I always feel like he's not very mature."

My dad said that our new neighbor, Pan Daqing, is capable and wealthy, but he's a bit old and speaks somewhat incoherently.

Cheng Yi laughed and said, "Look, aren't there two candidates? Why don't you just choose one openly?"

Wang Aijia got anxious and said, "Didn't we just say that we can't rush things?"

Cheng Yi laughed and said, "I didn't ask you to choose one right away. You're only in your early twenties, what's the rush?"

Okay, I'll give you some advice. Would you like to hear it?

Wang Aijia nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, Brother Cheng, please tell me, I will definitely listen carefully."

Cheng Yi said, "First of all, you should have your own opinions on matters of the heart and not let your parents' urging influence your judgment."

Stay calm and rational, and don't make hasty choices because of pressure from your parents.

Secondly, spend more time thinking about what kind of partner you truly want.

Of course, you can also meet more different types of people by participating in social activities and expanding your social circle, so as to better clarify your criteria for choosing a partner.

You can continue to observe Liu Yong and Pan Daqing as friends.

Let's see if Liu Yong will mature and become more stable over time, and whether Pan Daqing's unreliability is just a superficial phenomenon, and whether he has any admirable qualities inside.

Finally, the most important thing in this process is to focus on your own growth and development.

Don't focus all your energy on finding a partner. There's a saying: "A phoenix will come to a house with a sycamore tree." Only by improving yourself can you meet a more suitable person.

Wang Aijia nodded repeatedly and said, "Brother Cheng, you are the most talented. I will definitely listen to you."

The two finished the meat skewers, and Wang Aijia quietly went home. Cheng Yi also tidied up a bit and went to bed.

The morning sun had just begun to shine into the residential area. Cheng Yi was taking a leisurely stroll when he suddenly saw a large, fat man in his thirties, arrogantly talking loudly with a group of residents.

The fat man spoke in a loud voice, full of superiority: "I don't live here, I'm on vacation, understand? For a successful entrepreneur like me, living in a place like this is just a way to relax after a tiring luxurious life."

An elderly woman nearby quickly chimed in, "Of course! Our Boss Pan's business has branches all over the country. His business is incredibly large. Not to mention anything else, just look at Boss Pan's car—it's the same kind of car as the US president's, what's it called again…?"

The fat man, smug and self-satisfied, waved his hand dismissively and said, "It's nothing, just a few million, it's nothing."

One of the residents, holding several bottles of milk, said, "Mr. Pan, does the US president drink milk too?"

The fat man said dismissively, "Drink? Please don't use your petty-bourgeois mentality to judge successful entrepreneurs like us. We don't use milk to drink; we use it to wash our hands."

Everyone gasped in surprise. The fat man snorted and said, "What's the big deal? This is perfectly normal. People like us wouldn't even pick up money if we dropped it. Why? It's just a little bit, who would care?"

The crowd gasped again, and the fat man became even more smug.

Cheng Yi shook his head and sighed. According to the inertia of the indoor sitcom plot, the more someone is like this, the less money they must have.

At this moment, Wang Aijia walked over and whispered, "He's that Pan Daqing. He hangs out with shady characters all day. He always brags about how big his business is and how much money he's made."

Cheng Yi said, "Tell your dad and mom to be careful. This person doesn't seem like a rich person at all."

Wang Aijia asked doubtfully, "Brother Cheng, how did you figure that out?"

Cheng Yi thought for a moment and said, "Don't you think about it? I drive a taxi. I've seen all kinds of people. What kind of people haven't I seen? Really rich people would never brag like him and look down on everyone."

So, be careful and don't let him take advantage of you.

Wang Aijia blushed slightly, seemingly thinking of something, and spat out, "How dare he take advantage of me! I'll bite him to death!"

Cheng Yi was taken aback and said, "What are you thinking about? I mean, don't let him take advantage of your family."

Wang Aijia's face turned even redder, and she hurriedly left.

When Cheng returned home that night, he saw a group of people surrounding Pan Daqing, asking him to come up with some ideas and suggestions for making money. Among them were Sister Ma and Wang Yuanchao. Wang Aijia, however, was sitting on the side, cracking sunflower seeds and coldly watching these people.

Cheng Yi walked over, grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds, and started eating them with Wang Aijia.

Cheng Yi said, "Why do you look at him with a strange expression?"

Wang Aijia said, "Because I discovered that he really is a braggart. Today he freeloaded at our house, and he was picky, saying this wasn't good, that it should be cooked this way, and he kept making calls on our phone. Later I looked closely and realized there were even long-distance calls."

Cheng Yi laughed and asked, "Did you tell your dad and mom?"

Wang Aijia pouted and said, "Of course I told them, but neither of them believed me. They even said I'm all talk and no action."

Cheng smiled but didn't say anything.

Suddenly, a large group of young people walked into the residential area.

The leader was a man with a long dragon tattooed on his arm; the tattoo was menacing and quite frightening.

Upon seeing this person, Wang Aijia blurted out, "Yu San?"

Cheng Yi was taken aback and quickly asked, "What? You know him?"

Wang Aijia said with a solemn expression, "He specializes in loan sharking and is very notorious in this area. A few months ago, I heard that someone was forced by him to sell his house and ended up homeless."

Cheng Yi frowned and asked, "This person is so bad, why didn't any constables arrest him?"

Wang Aijia said helplessly, "How can we catch them? If the people don't complain, the officials won't investigate. Besides, everyone here has a family and a career. Who isn't afraid of retaliation from these people? Once they've got their eye on us, we won't be able to live like this anymore."

Cheng Yi sighed and said indignantly, "Sometimes, why are bad people so powerful? Why are they so lawless? It's all because good people have spoiled them! If everyone were brave enough to stand up and fight back, how could bad people be so arrogant and domineering?"

Cheng Yi resolutely stood up, left the building area, and headed straight for the public telephone booth.

He dialed the number and, in a low but firm voice, anonymously reported to the police, saying, "A member of a loan shark gang is harassing me for a debt."

After calling the police, Cheng Yi went to the pancake stall across the street. He ordered a super deluxe egg pancake, which cost a whopping 88 yuan, making the stall owner grin from ear to ear.

Cheng waited for things to unfold while watching the bustling pancake stall.

A moment later, two police officers from the Six Doors arrived on motorcycles, their sirens echoing in the air, seemingly bringing a glimmer of hope.

However, to everyone's disappointment, they came out of the community less than ten minutes after entering, without taking anyone with them.

Yu San and several young men staggered out, still arrogant and domineering, as if nothing had happened.

A sense of helplessness and anger welled up in Cheng Yi's heart. He couldn't understand why bad people could escape legal punishment so easily.

Full of doubt, Cheng Yi took the super-deluxe egg pancake, which was thicker than his own arm, and then turned and walked towards the small square below the building.

When he returned to the small square, he found Pan Daqing still there, endlessly boasting and bragging.

The elderly men and women gathered around, their faces full of admiration, seemingly believing Pan Daqing's words without a doubt.

At this moment, Sister Ma said loudly in her distinctive tone, "What's there to be afraid of? Just a few street thugs! Back in the day, when I was a group leader, what kind of situation hadn't I seen? These two half-baked thugs, how could they possibly cause any trouble?"

Wang Aijia quickly came over and, after much persuasion, managed to pull the agitated Sister Ma back home. Cheng Yi silently followed behind her upstairs.

On the way back, Cheng Yi overheard the conversation between the mother and daughter and learned what had just happened.

It turned out that Yu San and his group came here to ask Pan Daqing for money.

They attacked Pan Daqing, hitting him several times. For reasons unknown, Sister Ma and several elderly people wanted to stand up for Pan Daqing and tried to drive Yu San and the others out.

Just as tensions were running high and a fight was about to break out, the constables from the Six Doors arrived just in time.

Sister Ma had just caught the swindler yesterday, and today, upon seeing a constable she knew, she immediately felt confident and ordered the constable to arrest Yu San and the others.

However, when the constables questioned Yu San and the others, they claimed that they were just strolling around when they ran into their friend Pan Daqing and only chatted for a few minutes.

The constables then questioned Pan Daqing, who responded that Yu San and the others were his friends, that they had known each other for a long time, and that there was no debt between them.

So, Yu San and the others left without any hesitation.

After the constables and Yu San and the others left, Pan Daqing started spouting nonsense again, claiming that Yu San was his cousin and that they were just joking.

Incredibly, even with such a lame excuse, the elderly people, including Aunt Ma, believed it wholeheartedly.

Cheng Yi sighed helplessly, inwardly admiring how explosive the plot of the indoor sitcom was.

He originally thought he could help the police catch another gangster, but unfortunately he didn't succeed in the end.

Cheng Yi was feeling a little down. He had just sat down at home when he saw Wang Aijia quietly enter the room.

"Why did you come here?" Cheng Yi asked, puzzled.

Wang Aijia chuckled and said, "What were you holding in your hand just now? I could smell the fragrance."

Cheng Yi reluctantly took out the super deluxe pancake from the bag, and the two of them each got half.

After finishing the pancake, Wang Aijia looked worried. She said to Cheng Yi, "Brother Cheng, you have to think of something. If Yu San comes again, I'm afraid my mother will offend someone without knowing the facts, and it would be terrible if something went wrong."
