Awakening the Daily Intelligence System

Watching his granddaughter play happily today, then thinking about the troubles she would face in the future, he felt really troubled.

“Don’t think too much, take it one step at a time and if push comes to shove, we’ll fight it out with that man named Chen!” Lin Changshui clenched his rough fists, “And if that doesn’t work, we’ll find a way for our son to go abroad. I refuse to believe that Chen Shanhe can handle everything in such a huge world!”

Xu Qin shook her head.

She still couldn’t let it go in her heart.

And in fact, Lin Changshui was not much better off.

“Alright, alright, time to sleep, overthinking won’t help since it’s already happened!”

Lin Changshui grabbed his wife’s hand.

Yes,

Overthinking is useless, it only adds to one’s own troubles.

Xu Qin knew this truth too, but she couldn’t suppress the fear in her heart, especially in the stillness of the night, when thoughts would involuntarily wander from one thing to another.

The more she thought, the more afraid she became, the more she couldn’t sleep.

Lin Changshui was actually feeling the same way, staying up late not sleeping because he was reading comments on their arrest warrant.

Reading the netizens’ comments, he also couldn’t let go.

For the older generation, nothing is more important than others’ opinions.

He could comfort Xu Qin, but his mind would inevitably wander to think about what those people in the village who had been very respectful to him only a short while ago were now saying behind his back.

This psychological pressure was immense,

And it’s known that many fugitives, upon being arrested by the police, actually heaved a sigh of relief, feeling like a burden had been lifted.

By the time Lin Changshui and Xu Qin lay down again, ready for bed, Lin Changshui sighed deeply, speaking very seriously, “My dear, I think our in-laws are really much stronger than us; these days you’ve seen them, helping their son analyze all sorts of problems, solve all sorts of troubles, and they even made some useful suggestions and proposals.”

“They are well-educated and capable, but we’re just an old man and old woman from the countryside.”

“But I think, even if we can’t help our son through this difficult time, at least we shouldn’t add to his troubles. Our health is almost back to normal now, so let’s take over cooking and household chores from now on!”

“What’s more important is, never let our son see how you were just now, or else I’m worried he won’t be able to take it.”

“Things have come to such a pass, it’s not what our son wanted; he must be feeling worse than us, don’t you think?”

Xu Qin nodded gently, “Yeah, you’re right, very right, we can’t trouble our son anymore… Facing such immense pressure, and also having to take care of our whole family, is already tough enough… ”

“Hmm, we’ve decided then, to be stronger, to help if we can, but absolutely not to cause any disarray!”

“We’ll support our son through this tough time together!”

….

Meanwhile.

Yuhang, Yihua Studio.

It was late at night, but Zhang Yihua was still leading a few colleagues who hadn’t gone home for the holidays, busily working on “Divine Enthronement” animation.

The initial phase of production was completed, and what remained was the refinement of details.

There were no big tricks to it anymore, just repeatedly watching, listening, and modifying any controversial parts.

“Hu…”

After listening to the soundtrack of episode 12 again, Zhang Yihua stretched and said, “Are you guys hungry, should we order some late-night snacks?”

Another employee rubbed their eyes and said, “Boss, it’s the holidays now, which takeout places would still be open?”

“There’s still some dumplings in the fridge, I’m hungry too, could you cook some for us?”

The animation studio wasn’t large, and everyone was friends for many years, so there wasn’t too much formality while working.

“Alright, I’ll cook them for you!”

After getting up from his chair, Zhang Yihua asked, “Who else wants dumplings, sign up!”

“I’ll take 10!”

“Give me 6.”

“I want 15!”

“Boss, while you’re at it, could you pour me a glass of water…”

Zhang Yihua agreed to everyone’s requests one by one, opened the refrigerator door, took out the frozen dumplings, then started to heat the water on an electric stove, and loudly said, “Everyone take a break, if you’re sleepy, just take a nap, don’t wear yourselves out!”

“You said it, I’ve been waiting for that!”

“Ah… I’m exhausted!”

“Boss, this chair really isn’t very good, could you switch it for an ergonomic one? ”

“Haha, once our animation is released, I’ll switch it for a sofa!”

Everyone was waiting for the dumplings to be ready, setting aside their works, and started chatting in groups, some took out their phone planning to scroll through a few short videos to unwind.

Just then, an employee who had seen Lin Mo before pointed at their phone screen and shouted, “Boss boss… come over here….”

“This guy on the arrest warrant, isn’t that your former classmate, Lin Mo?”

What?

What’s going on?

Mr. Zhang’s old classmate is on a wanted list?

Lin Mo?

Their investor?

At these words, everyone else in the room suddenly froze.

“Don’t talk nonsense, I contacted Lin Mo just the other day, don’t make these jokes next time.”

Zhang Yihua’s first reaction was to think his colleague was joking.

Sometimes, when these otakus are together, they often scream and startle each other with small pranks.

Work can be dull, and life needs some spice.

But making jokes about an old classmate who had been kind to him, Zhang Yihua was somewhat less than amused.
