    Chapter 23 “Try what it’s like to be a disabled person” Because Xu Zhi’s life…

    Due to Xu Zhiping’s illness, not only Wei Zhi has been as busy as a spinning top these two weeks, Cheng Cheng has also been very busy.

    In addition to taking care of Wei Zhi’s three meals a day, Cheng Cheng hurried to the hospital after finishing his work at home during the day, helping Tian Qianqian take care of Xu Zhiping.

    Tian Qianqian had already quit her job in the hotel and found a cleaning job near the hospital, which could not only supplement her family income, but also make it easier to stay in the ward at night to look after her.

    When Cheng Cheng stood at the door of the ward on the first day, his soul seemed to have been sucked out of his whole body, and his feet were nailed to the spot, unable to move.

    He saw the figure on the hospital bed through the glass on the door. Before he could take a closer look, tears rolled down the corners of his eyes without warning.

    The corridor of the hospital was so quiet that he could hear the sound of carts at the nurse’s station in the distance. He did not dare to cry, so he could only open his mouth wide and let the tears flow, while his shoulders shook slightly uncontrollably.

    When we were talking on the phone a few days ago, Xu Zhiping was still saying in a loud voice that the food at his construction site was good, and his laughter was so loud that it could shake his ears. However, the person in front of him was wrapped in thick bandages, and his exposed wrists were all wrapped with gauze. His face was as pale as a piece of rice paper, and he was lying quietly on the bed unable to even turn over.

    Cheng Cheng raised his hand and wiped his face, his fingertips were covered with cold tears. He was secretly glad that Tian Qianqian didn’t tell Xu Bing about this.

    Xu Zhiping’s father has regarded his son as his lifeline since his wife left. If he knew that his only support had become like this, he would probably faint.

    “Oh.” Cheng Cheng sighed heavily, and the porcelain spoon made a soft sound when it hit the wall of the casserole. He poured the thick millet porridge into a white porcelain bowl.

    In the hot air, he frowned tightly.

    He couldn’t figure it out, why are good people not rewarded?Brother Zhiping is such a good person. He always feeds stray cats half a piece of ham when he sees them. He is the first to help anyone who has trouble on the construction site. How did he end up like this?

    On the other hand, it is said that the sinister construction site boss is currently on vacation abroad with his wife and children, bathing on the beach and eating seafood, but he is not even willing to pay the compensation that should be paid to Zhiping.

    As soon as the millet porridge, golden-fried eggs and lightly toasted bread were placed on the table, the elevator opened with a ding, and Wei Zhi happened to come out in a wheelchair.

    The two looked at each other and were both stunned.

    Cheng Cheng and Wei Zhi hardly had time to meet each other these days. Wei Zhi was busy with the company and no longer took naps. He only asked Cheng Cheng to prepare three meals a day and take care of the house.

    One day Cheng Cheng came back at night and saw Wei Zhi curled up on the bed asleep. He crawled onto the bed in the dark and wanted to help him press his stiff shoulders. As soon as he touched his clothes, Wei Zhi gently pushed him away. He always felt that Wei Zhi seemed to be a lot colder to him recently.

    Sure enough, Wei Zhi only glanced at him briefly as a greeting, then walked straight to the dining table, with an inexorable tiredness on his brows.

    Cheng Cheng was a little sad and didn’t know why Wei Zhi was like this.Several times he wanted to communicate with Wei Zhi, but he refused calmly.

    Wei Zhi has been involved in Vanity Fair for many years, and he is very good at making grand remarks and beautiful words. He often fools Cheng Cheng casually.

    “Brother Wei…” Cheng Cheng sat down next to him and handed over the peeled eggs, with an imperceptible grievance in his voice, “Do you want to ignore me?”

    As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Zhi’s cell phone rang rapidly.He made an apologetic gesture towards Cheng Cheng. The moment he answered the phone, his originally slack shoulder lines tightened and his face became a little darker.

    Cheng Cheng couldn’t help but interrupt his work, and felt very sad, knowing that this attempt would probably end in vain.

    Wei Zhi hung up the phone and saw Cheng Cheng sitting aside with his head hanging, his back slightly hunched, like an abandoned puppy, even his ears were drooped.

    His Adam’s apple moved, and his complex eyes glanced at the young man’s red eyes. His left hand curled up unconsciously, and a numb tingling sensation came from his fingertips.

    “Xiao Cheng,” he slowed down, with a hint of softness in his tone that he didn’t notice, “If you really have something to say to me, can you wait for me at home after get off work tonight? It’s been a long time since we sat together and had a good meal.”

    Cheng Cheng suddenly looked up at him, feeling extremely happy that Brother Wei was finally willing to talk to him!

    “Okay Brother Wei! I will definitely wait for you!”

    Wei Zhi rushed to the company, and what awaited him was one meeting after another.

    Zhiyu Media has never held lengthy all-hands meetings. It only summarizes reviews at the end of the year, and usually each project team meets alone.But Wei Zhi was personally focused on too many projects, especially after Gao Yuan’s accident. Almost all of the projects that Gao Yuan was originally responsible for fell on him, and the meetings were lined up like an airtight wall.

    When He Rui reported work in the morning, he saw Wei Zhi’s increasingly pale face. Not only was he worried about his boss’s health: “Mr. Wei, do you want to take a break? I asked them to postpone the afternoon meeting.”

    Wei Zhi rubbed the center of his brows and couldn’t help but press his right hand against his rapidly beating sun: “No, I have something to do tonight, so I can’t delay it.”

    “Okay.” He Rui was still worried and glanced at Wei Zhi before walking out of the office and closing the door.

    Wei Zhi’s left hand hung down stiffly, and he was typing with only his right hand.

    A message suddenly popped up in the lower right corner of the screen, from former manager Zhang Wanxia.

    Wei Zhi stared at the message and opened it expressionlessly. The chat box was filled with messages from Zhang Wanxia. Wei Zhi’s most recent reply was from the day Gao Yuan was dismissed.

    Gao Yuan is Zhang Wanxia’s nephew, and Wei Zhi has no way to convince himself that Zhang Wanxia has no knowledge about the “Mutian” project.

    Since Gao Yuan was withdrawn, Zhang Wanxia has not stopped keeping in touch with her. Sometimes she mentions the kindness she received from her, sometimes she says Gao Yuan is his first offender, and she begs him to be more lenient every time.

    But betrayal happens countless times once it happens. Wei Zhi has already warned Gao Yuan about changing sponsors privately. Now that he has made the same mistake again and again, he will not use someone who has betrayed him again.

    But Zhang Wanxia didn’t mention Gao Yuan again today, she just asked him if he was free to have a meal together at noon.

    “Xiao Zhi, I know you don’t like to have dinner together at night. How about we get together at the new vegetable garden near your company at noon? Let’s pretend that I’m trying to make amends for you on Gao Yuan’s behalf. Although everyone is very sad that this happened now, it can’t affect the relationship between us, right. Let’s not talk about anything today, just catch up on old times.”

    The text in the chat box danced in front of his eyes. Wei Zhi slowly closed his eyes. After a while, he opened his eyes. His eyes were bloodshot. He shook his head, supported the table with his right hand and slowly sat upright. His left hand quietly pressed the muscles of his arm under the table, trying to relieve the numbness.

    His fingertips trembled and he replied “Okay”.

    The scene from twelve years ago suddenly burst into my mind.

    At that time, Zhang Wanxia was fired from her original company because she refused the unwritten rules of some major directors to protect artists. She lost all her savings in the entertainment industry for many years in a lawsuit.

    On the first day when the unemployed Zhang Wanxia decided to start her own business, she met Wei Zhi, who was shaking milk tea with an expressionless face in a milk tea shop.

    Zhang Wanxia was the first person to say to Wei Zhi, “You have great potential.” In this way, Wei Zhi became the first artist she signed.

    Eighteen-year-old Wei Zhi found his way into the entertainment industry under the leadership of Zhang Wanxia, ​​and the two of them established a small studio.

    They used to squeeze into a small studio of ten square meters. Zhang Wanxia used her remaining connections to lead Wei Zhipao’s crew. In winter, she waited for several hours in the cold wind just for an audition opportunity. In summer, she turned the only fan on him.

    Wei Zhi has never experienced family affection since he was a child. During those days when he was running around, the hot buns handed over by Zhang Wanxia and the warm milk when he stayed up late to read the script were the rare warmth in his life.

    “Xiao He,” Wei Zhi dialed the number of the secretariat, with a hint of exhaustion in his voice, “Prepare a car at noon and follow me to the new vegetable garden to meet Sister Zhang.”

    On the other side, after Zhang Wanxia received the reply, her hand holding the phone was shaking. Guilt surged up like a tide, but she breathed a sigh of relief.

    She gathered her carefully groomed big waves, carefully looked at the man opposite, and forced a smile: “Mr. Li, he agreed.”

    The middle-aged man with his legs crossed and smoking a cigar in Zhang Wanxia’s office was none other than Li Haitian. He held the cigarette between his skinny fingers, and the smoke obscured his face with protruding cheekbones.

    A pair of slender eyes were slightly squinted, the whites of the eyes were a little yellowish, and the eyeballs were cloudy. His teeth were very white, but a little buck-toothed, and he was enjoying the smoke at the moment.

    Li Haitian nodded hidden behind the smoke he exhaled, and smiled. His buck teeth were looming in the smoke. When he smiled, the tail lines on his face were piled up, making him look particularly ferocious.

    There was timidity in Zhang Wanxia’s eyes, but the corners of her red lips turned down, and she hesitated and said: “Then I won’t follow you today…”

    Li Haitian chuckled, grinned his big white teeth, and pointed at Zhang Wanxia with his fingers holding a cigar: “Xiaoxia, it seems that this alpha’s leg is broken, and you still cherish him very much.”

    “No way, Mr. Li is joking, haha.” Zhang Wanxia broke out in a cold sweat, and the clothes on her back were soaked. She pinched her fingertips into her palms to barely maintain her composure. A feeling of powerlessness and guilt took root in her heart.

    She had no choice. She was already forty-two years old, had a husband and a daughter. What she lost was the courage to start over from the beginning when she was thirty.

    Who in the circle doesn’t know Li Haitian’s virtue?

    This alpha specializes in beautiful male alphas, and no young actor who is targeted by him can escape.What’s even more frightening is that the company behind him, Shengxing Entertainment, is said to be in collusion with government officials and businessmen, and is so powerful that no one dares to provoke him.

    Wei Zhi and Gan Chenchen were once his targets. Fortunately, Wei Zhi did not lose consciousness even after being drugged. In the middle of the night, he climbed out of Li Haitian’s exclusive scary hut with Gan Chenchen on his back.

    But no one knows what happened in those two hours…

    Now that both Wei Zhi’s legs are paralyzed, who would have thought that this crazy Li Haitian would actually ask her to “try what it’s like to be a disabled person” and ask her to ask Wei Zhi out.

    Zhang Wanxia still remembered how Li Haitian described to her the pleasure of being humiliated and unable to move on the bed with a disabled alpha, which made her gag.

    Of course Zhang Wanxia disagreed, but she still wanted to be in the entertainment industry, and she didn’t want to offend Li Haitian, so she played a few tricks with him in an attempt to get away with it.

    But Li Haitian is not that easy to fool. Today he actually brought someone to threaten her. He said that if she disagreed, he would kill Gao Yuan.

    Zhang Wanxia just found out today that her stupid nephew was seduced by the small profits from Shengxing Entertainment and tampered with Wei Zhi’s project, and she was actually helping Gao Yuan plead with Wei Zhi.

    Of course she didn’t like this stupid nephew, but she couldn’t ignore her sister Zhang Chenlu’s request. When Zhang Wanxia was desperate, her sister lent her money to help her pay off her debts.

    In this country, it is such a society of favors, and no one can escape any aspect of the favors owed, repaid, or borrowed.

    Zhang Wanxia looked at the proud smile on Li Haitian’s face and felt sick, but she could only hold back and lower her head.
