After The Vicious Cannon Fodder Was Reborn

e financial and props department of the crew had teamed up together to cheat investors’ of their money; for example, a certain old veteran actor who would often show his image of a good husband who loved his family to the public was actually keeping a young and beautiful dancer outside; another example was that the biggest bigwig in this room, a certain female celebrity, was actually the mistress of a certain business tycoon…..

But Tao Mu really never thought about using these black materials.
He just habitually memorized this kind of stuff.
After all, this kind of thing was similar to a spare tire, maybe one day it could be used.

***

It must be said that while these bigwigs appear hesitant and conflicted on the surface, they were actually faster than anyone when implementing the plan.

On the second day after Tao Mu gave everyone his advice, Cheng Baodong held a temporary press conference with the A-list celebrities and the main actors of the whole crew.
At the press conference, it was solemnly announced that in order to support the police’s abduction operations, the “Faraway Jianghu” crew would donate 1 million yuan to set up a charity relief fund specifically to help pitiful women who had been abducted by human traffickers and violently assaulted to pay for their medical expenses.
In addition, one-tenth of the box office money of the movie would be injected into this charity relief fund after the release of “Faraway Jianghu”.

And the first person to receive this charity relief fund’s donation was a young girl who had been cheated into an MLM den and had almost been abducted by human traffickers, but was rescued by the police at the critical moment to receive timely treatment.
However, the family members blatantly accused the police and the hospital that the hospital’s surgery procedure was wrong because they could not afford the medical expenses.
As for Zhang XX, who knelt down and begged for donations at the entrance of the Studio City——the money would be paid directly to the account of the H Studio City Group Hospital, resolutely not letting the heroes shed tears on top of blood and sweat.

After the press conference was over, a group of media that had been well-prepared for a long time began to publish various articles that called people to pay attention to anti-trafficking actions, pay attention to relevant laws and regulations, pay attention to women’s rights and equality, and even pay attention to the relationship between doctors and patients.
There were various reports but there was only one that was not included.
Tao Mu used the law that protected the victims and strictly prohibited the media from exposing the specific information of Zhang Hanya and other victims.
Of course, he couldn’t speak in front of the media in his capacity.
These suggestions were all conveyed to everyone through Cheng Baodong’s mouth.

——Presumably, no one wanted to see reports that “media violence caused the victim to be exposed to harm a second time, and public opinion had persecuted the victims”.

After the storm of public opinion in his last life, Tao Mu knew better than anyone how to use news media for positive propaganda, and knew how to counter these media.
So he was not afraid of saying ugly words upfront.
But what surprised him was that the news media were very conscientious——not mentioning the social section, even the weekly newspapers’ gossip sections were not so wicked as to expose the victim’s information to attract attention.

It seemed that the current weekly paper media——especially the news media on the social page, still maintained the professional ethics and professionalism of the media people, insisting that news reports must be true and effective and must be a positive mouthpiece.
It was completely not like later years of self-media who used the headlines to attract attention, turning news reports into an 8pm soap opera, full of twists and made up information.

Tao Mu had clear grudges and grievances.
He wanted to teach the Zhang family a lesson as well as establish his own speaking power.
He dared not say that innocent people would absolutely not be involved, but within his ability, he was still willing to protect the privacy of innocent people.
After all, Zhang Hanya, the young girl, was truly unlucky and pitiful.

——The Zhang family had been making a fuss for a long time, but not only did they fail to get any real compensation, they even managed to ruin their family’s reputation.
The relatives of the family who were still in Beijing would be pointed out by the neighbors as soon as they went out, and there was no face left for the whole family.

However, in Tao Mu’s words, the Zhang family got what they wanted——didn’t they just want to solve the problem of medical expenses.
He had helped them solve it now so the Zhang family should be grateful.

After such an incident, Zhang Delu could be considered to have a deep understanding of Tao Mu’s methods.
On the one hand, he was afraid of the big bald guy with the golden chain that had visited their home.
On the other hand, he was discouraged and felt that it would be difficult to win against Tao Mu with his family’s IQ and methods.

Considering these two points, the Zhang family did not continue to cause trouble.
They didn’t even mention that the Yun family should be responsible for Zhang Hanya for the rest of her life.
Just stopped completely in their troublemaking.
Fortunately, Zhang Hanya quickly woke up, and after a few days of observation in the hospital, she didn’t have any side effects.
The Zhang family quietly discharged themselves from the hospital and returned to the capital in a pathetic manner.

But these were all afterword.

Before Tao Mu left, in order to thank Gou Rixin and delinquent girl, as well as their good brothers, he made a table of food in sister Ping’s restaurant and invited everyone over for a drink.
It could be considered an official farewell.

There was absolutely nothing to criticize about Tao Mu’s cooking skills.
He tinkered in the kitchen all morning, and made twenty dishes.
Considering that this group of people were from all over China, Tao Mu’s table also included eight major cuisines from eight regions, from Gou Rixin and Qin Miaoru’s favorite fried pork in scoop, pork backbone, white meat and blood sausage, to Da Mao and Xiao Pang’s favorite lamb spine hot pot, four happiness meatballs, longevity pork shoulder, stir-fried pig kidneys, to the local dishes of fried stuffed bean curd paste, sauteed shrimps and eel, steamed pork with lotus leaf, and Da Luo’s personal order that he had never eaten in his life, Buddha’s Temptation.
He also made a dish of braised prawn and a dish of fried golden prawns——as Tao Mu had a certain habit when eating shrimps.
He didn’t like to peel them.
So he made two shrimp dishes.
Those who were willing to peel them would eat braised prawns, and those who were too lazy would eat fried golden prawns.

Then he made a dish of steamed fish, cold pork knuckle in jelly, and a dish of braised sea cucumber.
The cold dishes were marinated carrot, cucumber, and rice noodle salad and century egg tofu.
The soup was west lake carp with vinegar sauce.
The dessert was Suzhou style little diamond cakes made in the shapes of the Chinese zodiac signs with glutinous rice flour, jujube paste, and red bean paste.
The craftsmanship was exquisite and beautiful, and the texture was soft and smooth, aroma fragrant and sweet.
This master-level full course meal immediately shocked this bunch of rough guys and girls.

When the diamond cakes arrived at the table, no one dared to stretch out their chopsticks.
The large group of people held up their mobile phones and took pictures of the cakes.
Their eyes when looking at Tao Mu were full of admiration for the master.

“Damn, brother Mu, your cooking skills are too extraordinary! You have to have learned from an imperial chef, right?” Qin Miaoru’s bald underling bit his chopsticks and swallowed his saliva, “Say, you are so handsome and plan to be a star in the entertainment industry.
It’s such a waste to have such good cooking skills.
How about it, let’s discuss something.
Does the master who taught you how to cook still accept apprentices? What do you think of me going to learn from a master?”

“Okay! I’ll help you ask questions later.
If our old man wants to accept apprentices, you can come and take his test.
After the test, you can be my junior brother.
But let me say the ugly words upfront, our family’s learning methods are very strict.
Training is all year round and you must be ready to provide for the master’s retirement life.
One day as your teacher means a lifetime as your father, understand? It’s not as simple as paying money to learn skills like in the West.” Tao Mu thought the bald-headed underling was joking, so he also replied jokingly.

“So it’s like this!” The bald underling slapped his head: “As long as I can learn craftsmanship, let alone retirement, I can directly recognize him as my godfather!”

This caused a lot of laughter at the dinner table.

Qin Miaoru irritably knuckled the bald head of her underling: “Let’s eat! So many delicious foods can’t even stop your mouth.
Just look at you, big and muscular, yet you want to recognize a godfather? Why don’t you see if godfather would even want to recognize you?”

This was just too mean.
This group of people was once again overtaken by laughter even before the last wave of laughter had died.

Tao Mu held back his smile, poured a large glass of beer, and toasted everyone: “Come, I will toast everyone a glass first.
Thank you all for taking care of me during this time.
I am very grateful.
We should also keep in touch.
Give me a call if there’s anything, and I won’t refuse if I can help.”

Tao Mu also noticed that these people here, regardless of their future successes and encounters, were actually all good people.
They were straightforward enough, righteous enough.

Tao Mu was used to seeing people who used each other and chased after profits.
Now, it was not easy to get acquainted with a group of friends who were loyal to each other.
Therefore, he was also willing to give everyone a chance to make a deeper friendship: “When I return to Beijing and change my phone number, I will send a group text message to everyone.
Please pay attention, don’t block my text message as spam.”

Everyone responded loudly: “That won’t be possible.
Absolutely not.
We must hug tight onto the golden thighs of Mr.
Future Superstar.”

Tao Mu looked at Gou Rixin.
He was most worried about this big dog.
He didn’t know when that incident happened in his last life.
Tao Mu estimated that it would be in a matter of months: “Call me if there’s anything.
Also, pay more attention when working.
As martial arts body doubles, if something happens, it will be a major thing.
Be careful.”

“Don’t worry.” Gou Rixin waved his hand and touched his glass of beer to Tao Mu’s: “I will.
Besides, don’t I have accident insurance covered by you.
If something does happen, there will be protection.”

Speaking of this, Tao Mu thought of another thing: “Why don’t I see sister-in-law?”

Gou Rixin’s smile faded, and he waved his hand and said, “Let’s not mention her.”

Tao Mu blinked, and advised subtly: “Okay.
I can’t say much about your house affairs.
But there is one thing, if you really decide to cut it off, some things must be dealt with clearly.
And it must be dealt with as soon as possible.”

Tao Mu was talking about insurance beneficiaries.
Gou Rixin insisted on filling in Yu Mei’s name in the beneficiary’s column.
Tao Mu didn’t think it was very reliable, but he couldn’t say much.
Now he was sincerely worried about Gou Rixin, so he said something more.

Gou Rixin also understood Tao Mu’s sincerity, and patted the little brother on the shoulder without speaking.

Both guests and hosts enjoyed this meal.

On the second day, Tao Mu took Da Mao and Xiao Pang to buy a lot of local specialties.
Then they bought a plane ticket for 10 o’clock the next morning to return to Beijing with the Yun family.
In the hotel room at night, Tao Mu seriously told Da Mao and Xiao Pang: “Don’t just reveal whatever when you go back.
When brother Yao and brother Xiao Qi ask about H Town, you can say whatever, but that thing with Luo Yang.
Don’t mention it.”

The Luo family had a big business and large influence, so Tao Mu didn’t want brother Yao to provoke the Luo family even if it’s to help him get revenge.
Besides, he was not a kid anymore, he could get his own revenge.
It was just someone like Luo Yang, he really didn’t worry about it.
Just like what happened with the Zhang family, if it wasn’t for Tao Mu wanting to take the opportunity to admit his wrongs and apologize to brother Yao and the others, he wouldn’t have needed to make that phone call.

Da Mao and Xiao Pang disagreed: “How can this work? Luo Yang bullied you like that.
If brother Yao asks——”

“You are not allowed to say even if asked.” Tao Mu said sternly, “I tell you, I am not discussing this with you, but solemnly telling you.
If brother Yao listened to both of you and provoked the Luo family and got in trouble, don’t blame me for turning my face.” (TN: turning face=fall out with someone, become hostile)

Da Mao and Xiao Pang’s hearts tightened.
It was rare to see Tao Mu’s solemn appearance, so they immediately gave in: “If you say not to, then we won’t say anything.
Why act so scary.”

Tao Mu snorted, stretched out his hand and rubbed the heads of both Da Mao and Xiao Pang, and reminded again: “Don’t say anything, or I will really turn my face.”

Seeing Tao Mu was for real, Da Mao and Xiao Pang instantly stopped any thoughts of saying anything.
When they checked out from the hotel the next day, they still looked wilted.
Everyone in the Yun family noticed this and became curious: “What’s wrong?”

“Having spent the past two months in H Town, they really will miss it!” Tao Mu’s lie came easily out of his mouth, without having to think about it seriously.

Everyone in the Yun family didn’t realize that there was anything wrong, and Yun Duo laughed and teased them: “I didn’t expect you two macho men to be this sentimental.”

Da Mao and Xiao Pang glanced at the clouds: As if a little girl like you know a fart!

They called two cars from the hotel and made their way to the airport.
Tao Mu bought a lot of souvenirs.
In order to save money, he fiddled with the express delivery in the hotel the night before.
Listening to the Olympics as well as watching the turmoil in the international futures market.
After pulling an all-nighter, his eyes now looked like rabbit eyes.

When he got on the plane, he immediately closed his eyes and calmed his mind.
While gathering sleepiness, he thought about what he had gained from staying in H Town for the past two months.

He got acquainted with a group of directors and actors in the circle; through the Zhang family matter, his path into the Beijing circle was considered smooth; and also he got to know the “poor commoner friends” such as Gou Rixin and Qin Miaoru.

And the last was…..Tao Mu turned his head and glanced at Yun Yi classmate who was sitting next to him, and then looked at the floating clouds outside the window with a melancholy heart——he managed to hug onto a barely there semi-golden thigh.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e ir on tr ee bl oo ms.

The plane left behind white lines in the blue sky.
Tao Mu looked at the clouds outside through the small window, feeling very happy.

Beijing, I am back.

Dean Tao, the old man, brother Yao, brother Xiao Qi, Xiao Yuan, and all those who had showed him kindness…..Tao Mu, was returning home.
