Chapter 70: Act IX: The Secret That Cannot Be Told (4)

Voice actors were not like ordinary white-collar office workers, there were no so-called working hours and off hours. As long as they had a job, they would enter the recording studio when they arrived at the company, and could leave when they finished recording. If they didn't have work scheduled for several days, they didn't need to report to the company.

However, as the company owner, Tan Yiming had always been diligent. Even if he didn't need to enter the shed today, he would arrive at the company early to do some administrative work.

However, the young girl at the front desk found that Class Leader Tan had been coming to work later in the past couple weeks.

Before, he would appear in the company at 9 am, but recently, he often didn't step into the gates of the company before 10 o'clock.

Gu Liang also felt that it was strange, and asked him, "Have you not been sleeping well lately? Are you getting up too late? The company is not far from your home, even if you walked, it would take half an hour for you to arrive."

Tan Yiming answered quietly, "Oh, my tenant stays a little far from work. You also know the subway station in front of my house. During every morning rush, it takes half an hour to get in, and only three cars are available. Anyway, I don't have to check in, so I drop him off at the terminal, where there are seats."

The problem was that the terminal was not far from his home, but one had to drive around the viaduct for twenty minutes. When he said, 'on the way', he didn't disclose how much time it would take.

Gu Liang was shocked: "You are really a twenty-four-hour filial landlord, you even have a pick up and drop off service!"

How could he know that the twenty-four-hour filial landlord not only included transportation, but also included meals.

After a while, Xiang Cai would set off to the southwest. Happy Pancake was a particularly mature stage drama company. In addition to Xiang Cai, the other actors who played with him were all Pancake's contracted artists. The reason why Xiang Cai could become the Corner A [?] was because the producer liked his 'outstanding performance from Fan Letter'.

Xiang Cai was under great pressure. Recently, he had been practicing extremely hard. In order to protect his throat, he rejected all iced, spicy, and salty foods. Every day when he went home, he cooked noodles in clean water, cut cucumbers, and ate vegetables like tomatoes and mushrooms along with it. He paid great attention to nutrition amount, insisting on one poached egg for each meal, and replaced the empty spot with chicken breast after the egg was eaten.

Tan Yiming asked him: "Eating noodles every day is too monotonous. Why not make some stir-fry or something?"

Xiang Cai replied, "It's not tiring to cook, but it is too tiring to chop vegetables, wash rice, and wash pots and pans. I want to sleep when I get home, not continue to work upright."

So the next day, Tan Yiming 'accidentally' made two more dishes and left them on the dinner table. There was still a thin layer of rice left in the pot, just enough for a bowl.

Xiang Cai: "..."

He looked at the hot meal, and then looked at the 'focused' Tan Yiming, who was working hard in the living room. He whispered a thank you, and sat down to finish eating.

Tan Yiming cooked meals for three days in succession, and Xiang Cai ate the meals for three days in succession.

On the morning of the fourth day, Tan Yiming had just gotten out of bed and saw five red banknotes on the coffee table in the living room.

[T/N: the red banknotes are 100 yuan (different amounts of money by color).]

Tan Yiming gestured to it with one hand, asking, "What is this?"
