Ten years of film queen, finally became a top star

Chapter 190 Feeling of powerlessness

In the following work, Li Yunxia spoke obviously more, while Yu Jiang just responded most of the time.

The topic she always talked about was her boyfriend who worked as a piece-rate worker on the production line next door.

Li Yunxia talked with starry eyes about how capable and well-connected her boyfriend was.

How she could earn over ten thousand yuan a month without sleep, and how she could use her uncle's connections to transfer her to her current easy position.

Yu Jiang responded with "umm"; it was not that she was trying to be perfunctory, she just didn't know what to say.

If what Li Yunxia said is true, then it is undeniable that her boyfriend may also be a down-to-earth and hardworking young man.

But Yu Jiang was not thinking about her boyfriend, but "if" Li Yunxia had seen more of the world, would she not have worshipped her boyfriend so blindly.

Unfortunately, there is no if and no then, and all of Yu Jiang’s ideas are just fantasies.

Li Yunxia’s life may have come to an end, but there are thousands of Li Yunxias in the world.

Yu Jiang was wondering, what could she do?

Can she change the deeply rooted concept of favoring boys over girls? Can she improve the living standards of everyone? Can she change what "Li Yunxia" and others think is normal?

It seems that nothing works. When she thinks about it carefully, it seems that she can't do anything.

The deep feeling of powerlessness made Yu Jiang feel a little frustrated. There was really not much she could do.

When she was in charge of the group, she knew that the miners in Jiang Mining worked very hard, so she would not exploit them like other companies.

Now she knows that there must be many "Li Yunxia" in the factory, but she can't change anything. This is the most despairing thing.

Jiang’s Charity has sponsored many students, and she learned a lot when she was in charge of this part.

Now she has an idea. She can start by supporting girls' schools and use her meager efforts to broaden their horizons, which may have some effect.

Until half past ten when she got off work, Yu Jiang had been thinking about the feasibility of her idea and whether her current assets could support her idea.

Of course, she didn't really listen to Li Yunxia's story about how her boyfriend heroically rescued her in a black restaurant before she got off work.

At half past ten, everyone finally had time to sit together in the cafeteria and have a good meal.

The production crew put together a large table in the cafeteria. After Yu Jiang and Li Yunxia had finished their meals, but before they sat down, Lu Yinyin came over with Dong Manshu.

"Sister Jiang Jiang, where are you sitting? I want to sit next to you."

Dong Manshu, who was pulled over by the police, teased before Yu Jiang replied: "Hey, you're not crying when you see your sister Jiang Jiang? Wasn't it the time when you cried so much that your mask was wet~"

Lu Yinyin blushed and pulled her sleeves, whispering coquettishly, "Hey, Sister Manshu~"

Dong Manshu raised an eyebrow at Yu Jiang without saying anything, and the four of them sat down together.

Originally, Lu Yinyin couldn't eat the food in the factory cafeteria, but because she had done physical work all day and was busy vomiting at noon, she found the meal in the evening quite delicious.

Other guests came after them. Including the guests and the chefs, there were eleven people in total, occupying half of the table.

Everyone was hungry, so they simply said hello and quickly sat down to eat.

After having enough food and making sure they were still alive, everyone started thinking about recording the show.

Dong Manshu has always been a person who can liven up the atmosphere. He complained to the director and everyone else, saying that he and Squid would never reconcile in his life.

She was complaining there, and Qi Lecheng was just being Versailles, saying how easy his job was and how boring the day was. Dong Manshu was so angry that she dragged Lu Yinyin to attack him.

Most of the guests have a strong spirit for variety shows. After livening up the atmosphere, they also invited the masters to join in the topic, and everyone was chatting very lively.

Kong Lingxi was particularly abnormal today. She is also a relatively experienced variety show host, but she was exceptionally silent today.

There were many people in her process. In addition to the young girl who led her, a young mother who had taken half a day off came after dinner.

We knew she was a young mother not because of our conversation, but because this worker secretly brought in her seven-month-old baby.

This is obviously not in compliance with regulations, but it is a helpless move.

The child was sick and there was no one at home to take care of him, so the young mother had no choice but to take a risk. Unexpectedly, she happened to catch the recording of a variety show.

Although she left quickly when she found out they were recording a show, it brought back Kong Lingxi's childhood memories.

When she was a child, her family's income depended on a fishing boat. During the fishing ban period, her parents would go to work in the factory. She was the one who was carried by her mother to work in the garment factory.

She is the seventh child in the family. Originally, she was going to be named "Lingqi", but the staff at the registration office thought it was too casual, so they found a homonym for her.

When she was a child, the elders in her family always advocated giving Kong Lingxi away, but her parents were reluctant to do so, so they took her wherever they went.

When her family went fishing, she followed the fishing boats; when her parents worked in the factory, she followed them. She never stayed in a normal environment like a normal child.

The main reason was that she was the seventh child and her four older sisters had been "given away", so her parents had to be careful.

She was brought up until the eighth child was born, and only then did her parents feel at ease to send her home to live a normal life.

Although her memory of that time is no longer clear, when Kong Lingxi saw the young mother carrying the child, she couldn't help but think of her own mother.

Kong Lingxi now couldn't help but doubt whether it was a mistake for her to insist on coming to this show. She had little exposure every time she recorded, and her identity might even be exposed.

Because she came from a poor background, she stood out among the guests with her efficiency at work.

This was not a good thing for her, so she decided to go back and find out. If she still had to do hard labor next time, she would not come.

After dinner, the six guests went into the interview room for individual interviews, and most of them were not in a good mood.

The liveliness at the dinner table just now was mostly for the show effect, but now it is everyone’s real state.

People who come to work in factories are not just individuals, but rather a process on the assembly line and a part of the machine.

It's boring to keep doing the same thing for twelve hours, not to mention that the long-term employees here do it day after day.

In fact, factory work is not a job that can be done for a long time. The inhuman working hours and work content are simply wasting people's lives.

It may not be a big deal for these guests who just experience it for a day, but regular employees have to work day and night shifts, which is equivalent to adjusting to jet lag every once in a while.

Moreover, the money earned by the guests only determines the victory or defeat of a show, but the money they earn is for real living.

For example, now, when the artists are being interviewed, several of their masters have gone back to work overtime.

This is not a game for them.
