My Life with Narration

Chapter 881: Chapter 871: Change (2)

Su Qing glanced indifferently, then turned around and left, which quite surprised Shen Yi.

In her heart, she didn’t really want Su Qing to get too involved in this matter; otherwise, she wouldn’t have talked about calling the police.

But she didn’t expect Su Qing to be more resolute than she imagined, actually pulling her away, considering they’ve known each other for so long and roughly understand each other’s personalities.

In Shen Yi’s view, although Su Qing has some obvious shortcomings, such as being young and impulsive, sometimes acting recklessly, not being smooth enough, and showing off, he is undoubtedly a kind person.

And this kindness, even Shen Yi finds it hard to distinguish if it’s naturally good or simply the untainted three views of a young graduate not yet hit by society.

This ’kindness’ may not necessarily be a good thing, but she just likes it—clean and pure!

At night, back home, Su Qing cheerfully went to wash some fruit, then prepared two basins of foot soaking water, and the two nestled on the sofa soaking their feet.

"Ask whatever you want; I see you’ve been holding it in all the way!" Su Qing put his feet in the basin and then comfortably squinted his eyes.

"Brother, that girl..."

"You want to ask me why I walked away so coldly today, right?"

Shen Yi nodded: "Based on what I know about you, even if you don’t step forward directly, faced with such a situation, you wouldn’t react like you did today. Were you... shaken?"

Hearing this, Su Qing couldn’t help but smile: "A classmate of mine once said something to me!"

"What did they say?"

"He told me not to have some sort of moral obsession, that way no one can hurt me, nor will I put myself in a dilemma; I’ll live happily.

Besides, what’s my status now? I’m just an ordinary commoner, who can I manage in life or death? If someone wants to commit suicide, that’s for the police and fire services to handle, not me!

Moreover, a person who wants to commit suicide, someone who doesn’t cherish their own life, why should I worry? She has nothing to do with me, I don’t even know her." Su Qing said with a smile, his expression quite calm, as if he hadn’t taken this matter to heart at all.

"That’s true; like when my company was just starting, there were too many difficulties we faced. Sometimes, it’s necessary to ruthlessly abandon some things, some people, even if they’ve helped me in the past.

But in the market, one has to compete, hesitation or kindness can only be preludes to failure.

Even now, in the company, anyone who can’t create value for me will still be removed.

As long as they can earn money, I won’t care if they take kickbacks, just need to keep a record of it, at least leaving some leverage in my hand.

It looks like your friend’s mindset is quite impressive!" Shen Yi nodded.

Her company made it this big, naturally not just with abundant funds progressing smoothly; along the way, she’s seen too many traps aimed at her so she doesn’t care much about some so-called moral obsession.

"Indeed, he’s not highly educated, but truly one of the smartest people I’ve encountered!" Su Qing lamented.

How can you not be smart? This guy schemed against the police; when someone bets everything and can still remain calm, that person is undoubtedly frightening.

After Bai Longsheng made up his mind, he calmly handled the corpse, dealt with the scene, this technique he doesn’t know how many times he’s simulated inwardly.

"Besides, I don’t think that girl from earlier will die!" Su Qing spoke lightly, a hint of... sarcasm in his tone.

"You’re saying... why? How do you know?" Shen Yi was taken aback and couldn’t help but ask.

It was her first time seeing such a situation; she was too busy being shocked at that moment to think much, hearing Su Qing say this, found herself curious.

"I’ve seen people who commit suicide, seen murderers, interacted with criminals who killed, even witnessed someone commit suicide right before me, the method also being jumping off a bridge, though not the bridge from earlier.

Have you ever wondered why most of the suicide cases you see online, after being saved once, don’t attempt suicide again?"

Shen Yi shook her head, seeing this, Su Qing continued: "That’s because most haven’t really considered suicide, or acted on impulse. Moreover, some just use suicidal behavior to achieve a certain purpose, and once that’s accomplished, naturally they won’t commit suicide again, for example, wanting attention, wanting to be loved...

But I can tell you, those truly intent on dying are extremely decisive; they wouldn’t even give those coming to save them a chance.

If it really is that kind, death... may be a sort of relief, why bother dragging people back into suffering?"

When Xu Yuezhen came looking for San’er, letting Du Qiang play the pure-hearted warrior Jiang Yu, the girl who committed suicide in his father’s school dormitory, as well as the girl who jumped from the building, and Bai Longsheng.

Among these, only Xu Yuezhen was tightly followed and saved, but her desire to die was also genuine, jumping as she said she would.

Among the rest, the one who left the deepest impression on him was Jiang Yu, who leapt off the bridge without hesitation, right before his eyes.

As for Bai Longsheng, the two never met from start to finish, nor did he see the other’s final moments.

To put it simply, those truly seeking death cannot be stopped; those not seeking death, perhaps without interference, they’ll come to understand on their own.

As she listened to his words, Shen Yi took a deep breath, looking at him with a somewhat complex gaze and spoke:

"Brother, you seem... to have changed!"

"Changed? Not really, right?"

"You have, but sister likes it; no matter how you change, sister will always like it!"

With that, Shen Yi leaned her head over.

Yes, what does change have to do with her? She just doesn’t want Su Qing to experience any more incidents, and his reaction today surprised her, pleasing her greatly.

Lu Xun once said, if you want to live a long life, then mind your own business less frequently.

The next morning, Su Qing received calls from directors of both "Ignoring Everyone" and "This Killer Is Not Very Calm".

Both were reporting exciting news, especially "This Killer Is Not Very Calm", with first-day box office exceeding 200 million, exploding right away.

Needless to say, the initial promotion of this film was done remarkably well, coupled with the comedy genre which sells well, making it very relaxing to watch, earning rave reviews online instantly.

Meanwhile, the promotion for "Ignoring Everyone", the biggest factor was surprisingly promotional traffic from his and Tang Nan’s social media accounts, utterly incomparable.

But the first-day views have far exceeded the director’s expectations, and crucially, the reputation is excellent.

While Su Qing and Shen Yi were joyfully discussing over breakfast how much they could earn, the living room door was suddenly knocked on heavily, and he could even feel the table shaking.

"Who’s that?"

"No idea," Su Qing shrugged.

Then, Tang Nan’s voice rang: "Su Qing! Su Qing!! Open the door for me!"

"Well, now I know," Su Qing said with a smile.

At the sound, Shen Yi also smiled: "I guess she found out about the first-day box office results for your two films and couldn’t sit still!"

"I think so too. Shall we open the door?"

"Up to you. I’m not opening it anyway!"

"Then neither will I!"

Bang bang bang

"Stop pretending; I know you’re both home. I’m gonna break down the door!"

Reluctantly, Su Qing could only go open the door, and the first words from Tang Nan upon entering were:

"You’re really dead meat!"

Su Qing: ...
