Chapter 42 Mutation

  The next day, Tang Xiaosheng went to work as usual and arrived at the film city for filming. At noon, he received some good news. Director Zhang Zhizong told him that next week he would formally sign a contract with the crew and become a special substitute actor. After signing the contract, his monthly base salary was 4,000 yuan, and if there were any dangerous stunts to be filmed, he would receive additional pay, so it was no problem for him to earn around 5,000 yuan per month.

  Upon learning this news, Tang Xiaosheng was overjoyed.

  Since he was injured more than three months ago, he thought he might not be able to shoot action movies anymore and could only play extras. Fortunately, after Xiaolongnv treated him with the Jade Bee, combined with his practice of the "Reversal Meridian Method", the injury on his left leg recovered very well.

  He was re-signed by the production team as a special substitute, and finally he can continue his beloved performing career, and in life, he finally has a relatively stable income.

  After work, as soon as he returned home, he told Xiaolongnü and Guo Xiang about it, and they were also delighted for him.

  Xiaolongnv was still worried about his leg injury, so every night she personally gave him a massage on his legs. In order to avoid him working too hard during filming, she also followed the diet plan every day, personally cooking several nutritious home-cooked dishes to help him recover.

  Home cooking changes every day, such as braised big prawns, yellow bean stewed pig's trotters, mushroom steamed prawn bowl, chrysanthemum pork ribs soup, celery beef oatmeal porridge and so on, which are different every day.

  Although these dishes were not authentic and tasted strange, they were made with Little Dragon Girl's good intentions, so Tang Xiaosheng accepted them all with a smile. At first, it was a bit uncomfortable to eat, but after three or four days, the discomfort became comfortable, and nothing seemed too out of place.

  In the following seven days, Tang Xiaosheng either went to the film city to shoot a movie, or stayed at home to enjoy life, taste Xiao Longnv's cooking, or listen to Guo Xiang's intermittent guitar playing. Of course, there was also the cultivation of the "Reversal Meridian Method" and the practice of controlling the jade bee.

  After seven days of practice, his skills improved significantly, the time it took to catalyze the Jade Wasp's venom was reduced from five minutes to one minute, and the range of control over the Jade Wasp increased from two or three meters to four or five meters.

  But what's most delightful is that the day he signed with the crew has finally arrived.

  At 6:00 am, Tang Xiaosheng woke up. Today is the day he will officially sign a contract with the crew. He was full of energy and spirit. After getting out of bed, he prepared to take a cold shower and change into new clothes, ready to start his new journey in the entertainment industry with a brand new look.

  As a result, he had just arrived at the bathroom when he suddenly received a call. Upon closer inspection, the caller turned out to be Long Tianhao.

  "Mr. Tang, how's your consideration of what I told you previously?" came a thick voice from the other end of the phone belonging to Long Tianhao.

  Tang Xiao Sheng had already made up his mind, he wouldn't leave Long Nü, but no matter what, he had to give an explanation to Long Tian Hao, after all, Long Xiao Xue was her daughter. After a pause, he replied: "Mr. Long, I and Long'er are truly in love, we can't bear to be apart from each other. I admit that my current status is not worthy of him, but give me two years' time, I will definitely have the ability to make her happy."

  "Is this your final decision?" Long Tianhao asked in a deep voice.

  "Yes." Tang Xiaosheng said without hesitation.

  "It's like this, we don't have much to talk about, it's just like this."

  He hung up after finishing speaking.

  Tang Xiaosheng was stunned on the spot, and Long Tianhao was obviously very dissatisfied with his answer. He would not let it go easily. Previously, because of Xiao Longnu's affair, he had offended Xia Bai and almost got his leg broken. Now that he had also provoked Long Tianhao, who knows what would happen in the future? In terms of ability, connections, and resources, Long Tianhao was far above Xia Bai. If he really took action, Tang Xiaosheng might not be able to withstand it.

  "Never mind, I don't want to think about it. Today is a good day for signing the contract with the crew, don't spoil my mood because of this." Tang Xiaosheng comforted himself, put down his phone, and then started taking a cold shower.

  After washing up and drying himself, he walked into the bedroom, just about to start getting dressed, when his mobile phone suddenly rang again. He picked it up, and on the other end was Zhang Zhizong, the director of the film crew.

  "Director Zhang, why are you calling me so early?"

  "Xiao Tang, who have you offended now?" Zhang Zhizong asked as soon as he opened his mouth.

  Tang Xiaosheng paused for a moment, feeling that something was wrong: "What's going on?"

  Zhang Zhizong let out a long sigh and said slowly: "Just now, the producer told me that your contract with the crew has been cancelled. Not only will you not be signing with them again, but from today on, you are no longer allowed to participate in any scenes with the crew."

  "How did this happen? Didn't we agree on everything before? What happened?"

  "I just received the news, anyway, forget about signing a contract, and you don't need to come to the crew either." Zhang Zhitong sank, "Little Tang, you're a great actor, I believe in my own vision. It's just the producer's decision, and I have no way to change it. If possible, I'll try to fight for you again, and I'll let you know if there's any news!"

  "Thank you, Director Zhang."

  "I won't say more, I have a show to rush to, bye for now."

  After finishing the phone call with Zhang Zhizong, Tang Xiaosheng stood still on the spot for a long time.

  The cruelest thing in life is to give you a beautiful dream, and then suddenly turn it into an illusion when you are most indulged, leaving you with nothing but empty joy.

  In the past few days, he had been looking forward to signing with the crew, thinking that he could continue to pursue his acting dream. Who would have thought that a phone call would wipe out all his expectations?

  "Hey, are you going to sign with the film crew today?" At this time, Xiaolongnu walked into the room and asked softly.

  "Yes, I'll go in the morning." Tang Xiao Sheng replied naturally. As a man, perhaps the thing he least wanted to face was showing his weakness in front of a woman. Although he already knew that signing with the crew had fallen through, he still didn't want to tell her.

  "Since we're going to sign a contract, you should dress more formally. Let me help you pick out some clothes." After finishing speaking, Little Dragon Girl opened the closet and picked through it several times before finally pulling out a black suit and asking, "Bao'er, what do you think of this one?"

  Tang Xiaosheng had just lost his job, and he didn't have the heart to pick out clothes. He just didn't want Little Dragon Girl to notice, so he pretended as if nothing had happened, smiled and nodded: "It's fine." After that, he took the suit and put it on.

  "Later, today after signing with the crew, I'll be back home around a few o'clock. I and Xiang'er will prepare dinner early to wait for you." Little Dragon Girl said casually while helping him tidy up his clothes.

  "I don't know either, I called you ahead of time before going home," Tang Xiaosheng replied.

  Then, the little dragon girl went to the kitchen to cook and made a pot of lotus seed congee. In recent days, she has been studying recipes and trying new dishes every day.

  More than half an hour later, the longan lotus seed porridge was cooked, and the taste was still a bit strange, but Tang Xiaosheng had been trained for these days and had gotten used to this taste. At least he could swallow the rice porridge without any pressure.

  While eating, Guo Xiang looked at Tang Xiaosheng with big eyes for a while and praised in a childish voice: "Brother is so handsome today!"

  The little dragon girl beside him explained: "Your big brother went to sign a contract with the crew today, of course he has to dress up nicely."

  Guo Xiang curiously asked: "After signing the contract, will we be able to see Brother's TV dramas from now on?"

  Tang Xiaosheng smiled: "Not so soon, but it will be seen sooner or later."

  After dinner, Tang Xiaosheng left home and lied that he was going to the film city to sign a contract with the crew. Little Dragon Girl and Guo Xiang reminded him to be careful on the road.

  When he walked out of the door, he suddenly didn't know where to go?
