Translator: Dragon Boat Translation | Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Tan Rou spent half a month cleaning up Xinghe Entertainment from top to bottom. Many people who took private jobs behind the company’s back and evaded taxes were all fired by Tan Rou.
Xinghe Entertainment did not lack people to submit their resumes. As soon as she fired them, there were dozens of people who submitted their resumes. She selected some capable and unblemished people and reopened Xinghe Entertainment’s selection meeting, signing many new people.
Initially, Meng Xiao did not sign under Xinghe Entertainment, but this time, Tan Rou promised to help her return to the entertainment industry. She did not want to go through the trouble, so she signed Meng Xiao directly and made an agreement with her.
“Within three years, you have to bring in 20 million worth of income for the company. If you can’t do it, you can leave on your own.” Tan Rou had only promised to give Meng Xiao a chance. She did not say that she had to make Meng Xiao famous. “Do you agree?”
Meng Xiao didn’t show any fear on her face. She smiled and said, “Of course. If I can’t do it, I’ll leave by myself. I won’t bring trouble to Xinghe Entertainment!”
Tan Rou really felt that Meng Xiao was different now. Perhaps he had changed the moment she decided to leave the Meng family. Meng Xiao was not a teenage girl, and she could not get what she wanted by acting coquettishly and crying. She had to work hard to achieve her goal.
Tan Rou didn’t have many entertainment resources, but she would help Meng Xiao. So, she called Liang Lu and asked her to give Meng Xiao a role to try.
Liang Lu readily agreed to Tan Ron’s request and immediately arranged a small role for Meng Xiao. Although this role was not the main character in the story, she had a lot of scenes, which tested the actor’s acting skills.
Meng Xiao did not say anything. She packed her things and took the highspeed train to the desert.
After settling Xinghe Entertainment’s matter, Tan Rou returned to school. She was now a master’s student. Although she didn’t have that many classes, she had a lot of experiments arranged. She basically spent all her time doing experiments.
She had to do experiments at school, go to the company to handle work, and take time to research new products. Sometimes, she didn’t even have time to rest. She had not returned to the old mansion for two months. She planned to go home after the school experiment was over.
That day, Tan Rou was waiting for the results of the experiment in the laboratory when she suddenly received a call from her mother. Her mother asked her to go back quickly, saying that her grandfather had fainted.
Tan Rou didn’t wait for the experiment results to come out and immediately took leave. However, Grandpa Tao was not in the old mansion. Instead, he was in the intensive care unit of the hospital.
“What happened to Grandfather?” Tan Rou was very flustered. Grandpa was clearly fine the last time. Wiry was he suddenly hospitalized? Moreover, he was in the intensive care unit, which meant that Grandpa Tao was very ill.
Grandma Tao’s face was filled with a haggard expression. She couldn’t speak and would cry if she did. When Tan Rou asked her, she only shook her head.
“Your grandfather is sick. The doctor said that his organs are failing. He won’t live for long.”
Tan Rou was stunned. She had never thought that her grandfather would have such a problem. If her grandfather was sick, she could still use her medical skills to save him. However, no matter how powerful she was, she could not run out of time. Organ failure meant that a person’s life was about to end. She could nurse Grandpa Tao’s body, but she could not stop Grandpa Tao’s life from flowing away.
“I’ll go in and see Grandpa.” Tan Rou walked into the ICU in a daze.
Grandpa Tao closed his eyes. There was an infusion bottle hanging beside him. The brownish-red liquid kept flowing into his body like blood.
Tan Rou took Grandpa Tao’ s pulse. There was nothing wrong with him except that his body was weak and his organs were failing.
Grandpa Tao worked very hard when he was young and didn’t pay attention to taking care of his health. Therefore, although he was only a few years older than Grandma Tao, he looked much older than her.
After Tan Rou returned to the capital, she had been nursing the two old men’s bodies, hoping that they could live longer. However, the two old men were already over eighty years old. Even if she did not want them to grow old, she could not stop God from taking them away.
“Grandpa…” Tan Rou held onto Grandpa Tao’s hand as tears trickled down her face. “Open your eyes and look at me. I’m Rourou.”
