195 The Woman Who Jumped into the River (1/2)

Hong Dali stretched lazily and said, ”Ah, today was fun. Let's head home and get some sleep, get some sleep!”

He turned around, grabbed Li Nianwei's hand, and smilingly said, ”Sister Nianwei, in a few days, I'll write a script. Let's make a movie for fun. It has been kind of boring recently.”

Li Nianwei, who had never been in an advertisement or film before, answered without hesitation. ”Okay.”

Tang Muxin got excited about the idea too. She said, ”Okay, okay. Dali, I want to go too!”

Hong Dali laughed out loud. ”You will definitely be included. Dali's productions must be the best. I will have to make sure the cast line-up is spectacular. Don't be impatient. I'll start on the script in the next few days.

”We should have quite a lot of money on our hands. The broadcasting rights fees for I Am a Singer, the download fees from Unexpectedly!, and there is more than forty thousand every day from Ye Lai Xiang. We might as well make good use of all this money!”

How one is a prodigal son without spending money?!

Right, since we don't have much experience with anything else, let's start with movies.

There are so many classic movies in existence on Earth. We don't even have to remember the storyline and setting for all of them, just random snippets here and there is enough.

If we include Chuyin's set-up, wahaha! It'll be something spectacular!

Hong Dali had already given some thought to this matter. However, he had not come up with a concrete plan yet. Now, all he had to do was wait for Chu Zhongqin to gracefully leave the stage of I Am a Singer and he'd be free to move on to other things. All he had to do was wait for the payments to come in. With Zhang Cai handling things, he had nothing to worry about.

It was getting late and he should be going home. However, he got caught in a traffic jam. Pedestrians, bicycles, private cars and taxis, as well as buses, had completely clogged up the roads, which were actually quite wide. He thought of going backward, but the cars behind had completely blocked off any exit.

Right, seems like they would have to walk.

However, Hong Dali did not seem to be in any hurry. Instead, he laid down and declared. ”I'll take a nap first.”

Tang Muxin hugged Quentin and was unable to fall asleep. Her thoughts were filled with the song Hong Dali wrote. She could see that Dali was tired, but she was bored. She decided to find out what was happening outside. Rolling down the windows, she stuck her head out to ask a passerby who got here before they did. ”Mister, what is happening ahead?”

The passerby was a man in his fifties. He pointed towards the front. Tang Muxin looked toward the direction his finger pointed.

She saw a woman standing on the bridge over Fengyuan Lake, looking down into the waters. Her face couldn't be seen clearly. As the chilly night winds rose, the white dress the woman wore fluttered in the wind like a fairy's dress, and her waist-length hair danced in the wind.

Tang Muxin exclaimed. ”She is going to jump into the river!”

This was probably the most ethereal lake-jumping scene in the history of lake-jumping.

Hong Dali snapped awake upon hearing that someone was going to jump into the river. He asked the passerby, ”Is it a man or a woman? What happened?” He had no idea that it was a woman who wanted to end her life.

The passerby said, ”I heard that her career has not been going well, and she was unable to find a proper job, her childhood dreams dashed…”

Hong Dali and Tang Muxin said in unison, ”Poor thing.”

The passerby continued, ”The woman climbed up half an hour ago, saying she wanted to jump. There are already a couple of men around who have taken off their shirts waiting for her to jump. It would be a great opportunity for them to be the hero and save the damsel in distress—she has a great figure. Everyone is waiting, but the woman has not moved, all she did was cry.”

Hong Dali said, ”That would be her fault, then. How could she be so inconsiderate? They didn't take off their pants?”

The passerby said, ”No, I did hear people saying that a few men got aroused, but as time passed, it went down again.”

Look at what the passerby was implying.

Hong Dali laughed. ”The lady is going to kill herself just because she couldn't find a job? How weak is her mind?”

The passerby said, ”Rumors say that she has emotional problems too. Her boyfriend hooked up with a rich lady and dumped her.”

That was it. Other news might not affect her, but this hit a nerve with Tang Muxin. They were women, after all. Tang Muxin made a small sound of indignation and started shaking Hong Dali's wrist. ”Dali, think of a way to save her.”

Hong Dali replied, ”Don't worry. If she wanted to jump, she would have done so long ago. If you ask me, I don't think she will jump at all today. Didn't you hear, it's likely she's just emotional. There are so many men there with their shirts off waiting to be heroes, there are probably enough of them to start a fight. Why would we be needed to help her?”

The passerby said, ”Who knows. Big Young Master, you look like a rich man yourself, what do you think the lady wants to do?”

Hong Dali rubbed his chin. ”I wouldn't know. Forget it, we're stuck in the jam, anyway. Let's go see what's happening.”

Before Dali transmigrated, he was nicknamed Goody Dali. After all, he came here because he was trying to save two kids. Seeing the situation, he wanted to go save her.

They all alighted from the car.

With the nine lackeys leading the way and making space between the crowd for him, Hong Dali and his people reached the bridge in no time. As they got near the bridge, Hong Dali saw the lonely silhouette of the lady standing on the railings, her flowy white dress fluttering and the wind running through her long hair. Unfortunately, her face was obscured, and he couldn't see her clearly.

He had just been talking about making a movie. Hong Dali felt a shiver run through him.
