Chapter 469 466. Two contradictions
After hanging up the phone, Xu Xin turned around and called Yang Mi.
The phone was connected quickly, and just after it was connected, there was a noisy voice from inside:
"Hey! Yangyang! Don't scratch Grandpa!... Uncle, you can't spoil him like this, it hurts for a child to pick someone up... Shishi, come and help me, I'll wash her **** quickly... Hey ...what's the matter with you?"
Through the phone, Xu Xin felt the panic at home, and said quickly:
"do your stuff."
"Well, hang up."
Beep.
The phone hangs up again.
After about twenty minutes, I called again.
"Hey, what did you call just now?"
On the second floor of the small rented courtyard, with the cool air conditioner blowing, she asked lazily as she looked at the relatively well-preserved folk streets in Chikan Ancient Town.
Xu Xin said in bewilderment:
"Are you resting today too?"
"Are you resting too?"
"Well, suddenly there were a lot of tourists in Yuan'an and Qinglong villages, and there was no filming at all, so we took a rest."
"It's the same for us. In addition, Liang Chaowei has been too tired recently, so the director said to take a few days off, and wait until this holiday is avoided."
"What about Shishi? What's the situation with Shishi?"
As soon as he finished asking, Liu Zhishi's voice sounded:
"Don't mention it, Hengdian is full of frying pans. The streets are full of people, and there is no shooting environment at all. All the crews have rested... It's strange, it's not like this in previous years. What happened this year..."
"The holiday has been extended. Statutory holidays are protected by law. In the first year, no one dared to mess around."
Xu Xin explained a sentence and asked:
"So you came here to sneak in?"
"That's right. The scenery here is really nice...but it's a bit hot. But it's better than Hengdian anyway. My parents are traveling in Japan, so I'm here."
"Haha, okay, let's stay a few more days."
After exchanging pleasantries with her on the phone, Xu Xin said:
"Let me tell you something. Nazha called me just now."
Hearing this, Yang Mi canceled the speakerphone, clamped the phone around her neck and fiddled with Dan Cong in front of her, and asked:
"Well, what then? How's her father doing?"
"That's what she said..."
After explaining the cause and effect of the matter, he said:
"Aren't you going to participate in the Yanjing College Student Film Festival on the 8th? When you go back, go to her and make an IOU. As I said, I don't want her to demolish the house and sell the land to pay me back the money. If you really want to pay it back, then Just hone your acting skills honestly, become a good actor, and pay me back the money from the film salary. I will not accept the rest."
"Hey~"
Yang Mi chuckled lightly:
"You are really sympathetic."
Xu Daqiang, who was watching over his granddaughter and grandson, twitched his ears.
On the phone:
"Get out, you can't even call sarcastic remarks, it's called sarcasm."
"Haha, okay...you can do whatever you want."
"Well, as long as you know. I will keep in touch with her less in the future, are you satisfied?"
"I didn't mean that, I was just joking, why are you so serious... Okay, I get it. Is there anything else?"
"Where's our dad?"
"Look at Nuannuan and Yangyang. I have to leave in a while and go back to Shenmu. My sister-in-law didn't come to visit relatives this month. Brother Sanshui called. I guess there is... I'll go back and take a look later."
"Yo? Yes."
"Hey, no, just wait for the results of the blood test at the hospital tomorrow..."
The two chatted for a while, and Xu Xin hung up the phone after he started working.
And Liu Zhishi didn't ask what the couple talked about.
She is also on vacation when she comes.
Chikan is very beautiful, and the food is delicious. Why worry about the couple?
Just like that, the time came to early 5 o'clock in the evening.
Everyone started eating dinner.
Eat early tonight because Xu Daqiang will leave by car after dinner.
He has been here for more than ten days, and now the eldest son and daughter-in-law are still waiting for him... For such a big event, it is better to go to the hospital together for an examination. So I had to go back quickly after eating.
One meal, I didn’t actually drink much wine.
Yang Dalin and Xu Daqiang each had a drink.
After drinking two or two drinks, I boarded the plane comfortably.
After the meal was over, Yang Mi wanted to help Li Hao pack up, but Xu Daqiang stopped her:
"Mimi, come, let me tell you something..."
"okay."
Yang Mi didn't think much about it, and the two of them left the house all the way, and came to the courtyard where the Feng Shui Bureau is the home of four waters.
The small courtyard I rented is actually very suitable for Yang Mi.
The courtyard is built next to the river, so Fengshui is not mentioned, this layout is very comfortable.
There is a semi-open-air terrace on the second floor, where you can overlook the entire sparkling river bank after the lights are turned on at night. There is a sense of sight of Qingming Shanghe Picture + Qinhuai scenery.
Secondly, the various furniture buildings are not particularly old, and the original owner has renovated them before.
Living here feels like living in the old Shanghai of the last century.
She likes it anyway.
Especially at night, open the glass windows of the terrace, turn on the electric fan, and drink tea.
It's a hot day, and after drinking a few pots of tea, I'm sweating a lot. It's not too comfortable to go to the bathroom to take a bath and return to the air-conditioned room.
If it’s raining, then lean on the railing to listen to the rain, look at the misty Chikan, and feel as if you’ve returned to the misty and charming Jiangnan.
So she lives in this house very happily, and even plans to buy it.
And came to the eaves, she asked:
"Uncle Xu, what's the matter?"
"... San Jin's phone call in the afternoon, what did you say?"
"Well…"
…
More than 20 minutes later, Liu Zhishi was pushing the stroller, Li Hao was carrying the suitcase, and next to them were the special products from here, who planned to ask Xu Daqiang to take them back for Sanshui and Qianqian to taste. Yang Dalin and his wife walked together out.
Yang Mi, who was still chatting under the eaves, nodded:
"Okay, I know what I know."
"Um."
Xu Daqiang did not say much, and walked to his granddaughter and grandson with a smile:
"Come on, kiss grandpa, grandpa is leaving..."
…
After Xu Daqiang left, Yang Dalin and his wife pushed the child for a walk as usual.
The locals here like to play a kind of card called "Ma Diao". Yang Dalin and his wife just learned it recently, and they are quite addicted.
Then the nightlife here is also very lively, there are people singing Yue opera, and there are various entertainment activities.
The two like to watch, and the children also like to be lively.
So I went out for a walk at night.
Liu Zhishi just came here today, but the two of them don't plan to go for a stroll tonight.
Today is the time when there are the most tourists. If you are recognized and get stuck somewhere, the loss outweighs the gain.
So, the two of them agreed, tonight I will watch the night view and drink tea at home, and take a good look around this ancient town when there are fewer tourists.
At this moment, sitting in the semi-outdoor tea booth on the second floor, wearing a loose sports vest, men's sports shorts, and a pair of Adidas sports slippers, Liu Zhishi put down her teacup and exhaled hot air...
Not to mention...
Dan Cong this kind of tea... After drinking it, the aroma is really strong...
She wiped the sweat from her temples.
The air conditioner is on, the fan is blowing, the windows are open...
Tut.
Really luxurious.
Then, she glanced at Yang Mi.
Mimi is in a daze.
“…What are you thinking about?”
She couldn't help asking.
"What did Uncle Xu tell you? Why do you feel weird?"
"Well…"
If someone asked, she would definitely not say it.
But the relationship between the two is here, plus... She actually has a little desire to tell.
So he asked with a smile:
"Want to know?"
"If you don't want to say it, I won't force it..."
Liu Zhishi looked at her smiling face and shrugged:
"It's just that you seem to be preoccupied and uncomfortable."
"Oh, just say if you want to know."
"…think?"
Hearing this answer, Yang Mi pointed to her face:
"Kiss and I'll tell you."
"Get out!"
In an instant, Liu Zhishi rolled his eyes:
"Pervert, kill your teeth!!"
"hey-hey…"
Yang Mi smiled, poured another cup of tea for her friend, and said in the tone that she watched those old men and women who sang operas these days:
"Then listen to me as a husband~ talk carefully~~~~~~come~~~~"
"..."
Grandma has legs.
You take advantage of me.
Sooner or later, one day I will be so unclean that I can't get married!
I was thinking about it, when I suddenly heard a sentence:
"Last year, Xu Xin met a girl."
"Dang Clang..."
The tea cup was not held firmly, and it fell onto the tea tray in an instant.
"..."
Liu Zhishi's eyes are full of absurdity:
"Nani!!...he...he cheated!?"
"..."
Yang Mi's mouth twitched.
"Thank you."
"Well…"
It sounds like Xu Xin hasn't cheated again.
Liu Zhishi's eyes became strange:
"Then can you not put on airs when you speak? Your words are really easy to be misunderstood."
"So listen to me and don't be surprised."
Yang Mi rolled her eyes:
"It made me panic in my heart."
"...you say you say it."
Liu Zhishi sat down obediently, and picked up the dried roasted sweet potatoes on the table.
She has to keep in shape and can't eat things that are too high in calories.
Dried sweet potatoes can be used as potato chips and tea as Kuala.
Hi!
There is gossip to listen to!
Felt that as long as Xu Xin didn't cheat, the relationship between the two would be a seamless egg that couldn't even bite a fly, and her eyes were full of burning gossip.
"Stinky virtue."
Yang Mi shook her head helplessly:
"I met this girl in Shanghai. The cause was a business relationship between him and Shanghai Film Studio..."
She started talking.
But Liu Zhishi was speechless after hearing the first half.
Although she can also understand that men still socialize outside...but...
Anyway, for such a big director as Xu Xin, it's not appropriate for him to have a "nonsensical" relationship with a girl who is drinking with him outside, isn't it?
But after hearing the second half, her eyes became even more absurd.
Oh, so you are the old man who brought the devils here?
She couldn't help but say:
"Why did you ask her to send Xu Xin back that day?"
"You will find out when you get married."
Yang Mi waved her hand:
"My own man drank too much outside and no one took care of him. Compared with this... other things are nothing... It's not right, anyway, that's what it means, as long as you understand it."
"It's... okay. And then? From then on, sticking to you?"
"That's not..."
She briefly talked about Nazha's situation.
It's just that, in order to "clear the suspicion", she blamed Xu Xin for making money for Nazha with her own ideas.
After hearing this, Liu Zhishi said speechlessly:
"Although it's not quite right to say this... But from my point of view, she was able to know Xu Xin, which is simply... a blessing obtained in eight lifetimes. It's just the two of you... If you change someone, who cares if her father lives or dies? There are so many unlucky people these days, and we don’t mention it when we meet by chance... Even if, what I’m saying is, even if Xu Xin really plays with her, then she’s not worth so much money.”
"Well... let's do good deeds for the children."
Yang Mi's words got her big eyes:
"Hundreds of thousands counts as good deeds...You old man, do a good job, but I am also short of money."
"That's not easy... If you marry in, what's mine is yours?"
"...Are you sick? Are you looking for a mistress for your husband? Good guy, the virtues of three wives and four concubines are really flourishing..."
"I'm talking about you marrying in and being my second wife. Who asked you to be my husband's mistress?"
Yang Mi had an expression of "You are weird, young man".
Liu Zhishi was even more speechless:
"Then what should Xu Xin do?"
"Him? Da Fang."
"…And me?"
"Second room. But future children must have my surname."
"Meaning I marry you?"
"Yes."
"Let's not talk about whether you are a Ji guy or not... I'm just asking, Commander Yang. Your old man and I... how do you have a baby?"
"It's easy, Xu Xin can help."
"Ah!! Go to hell!!"
"Hahahahaha..."
Yang Mi's happy laughter sounded in the tea room.
And Liu Zhishi blushed from being angry (ashamed).
"I might as well go to Daughter Country to drink well water!"
"hey-hey…"
Holding a teacup to moisten her throat, Yang Mi continued:
"Didn't you ask me why I was absent-minded? In fact, it was Uncle Xu and we talked about this matter just now. When he heard me say that Xu Xin pityed Xiangxiang and Yuyu in the afternoon, he felt that something was wrong, and asked about the cause and effect. Then he gave me some opinions..."
"Uncle Xu? ... What advice did you give?"
"Great kindness becomes enmity."
Yang Mi summed it up in four words concisely.
"His meaning is very simple. When I go back to participate in the film festival this time, didn't Xu Xin ask me to meet this girl and get an IOU?...Xu Xin means that the money is optional, and if the girl wants to pay it back, then Just go down to hone your acting skills, become a good actor, and use the salary to pay back. There is no need for her to demolish the house and sell the land..."
"...tsk."
Hearing this, Liu Zhishi expressed emotion:
"So sometimes I subconsciously think... I've been with you two for a long time, looking at other men and women is like looking at idiots. How can I find someone who is as romantic and kind as Xu Xin... Not bad My single-minded person?"
"...???"
Yang Mi tilted her head and looked at her friend.
I always feel that her thoughts are particularly dangerous.
Of course, this is also a joke.
She continued:
"But... Uncle Xu meant to tell you directly that after the help this time, you don't have to pay back the money. But she has to disappear."
"...killed her?"
"..."
Yang Mi's eyebrows jumped wildly.
Can’t tell.
Xiaoya is quite social...
And Liu Zhishi smiled:
"Just kidding, I know what Uncle Xu means, he is afraid that she will affect your relationship, right?...She is beautiful?"
"very beautiful."
Yang Mi nodded:
"Don't talk about connotation, personality and other factors, just talk about that face, she can definitely be hit. She is a minority, with a bit of mixed blood feeling... You know, many people eat this."
"Tsk... that's true."
Liu Zhishi nodded and continued to ask:
"Then what do you want to do?"
"In fact, this is where I struggle... If I challenge Xu Xin, he will definitely listen to me. But I don't think it's necessary, as if I'm being stingy... Besides, even if this little girl knows Xu Xin The process was a bit...how should I put it. It was a bit ambiguous, but I could see that he didn't think about other aspects at all. And the reason for helping Nazha this time was not because of our kind hearts. The bigger The reason is...he wants a psychological comfort. You remember, I told you, my mother-in-law..."
"Remember."
Liu Zhishi instantly understood what her friend meant.
While feeling Xu Xin's kindness in her heart, she said:
"Then can I understand that...Xu Xin is in her... no, she has a sustenance in her father?"
"You can put it this way. He told me repeatedly that day: If you are rich... don't be afraid... I could hear what he was thinking."
"Then have you talked to Uncle Xu?"
"I said it... but Uncle Xu's idea is also very simple. No matter what happens to his wife, the child and daughter-in-law must live happily. And this little girl is a hidden danger, because of his son's attitude towards her... don't care who it is, it's not Usual. So, what he means is that a big favor is a big hatred, just help once, and it's almost over."
Speaking of this, she suddenly shook her head:
"But I feel... that makes me look very incompetent, do you understand what I mean?"
No ability...
Liu Zhishi was stunned for a moment before realizing what her friend meant.
"…understood."
Hearing this, Yang Mi responded:
"Well... To put it bluntly, if I can't even understand a little girl's film, then I won't be the kind of person who is unworthy of virtue. And Xu Xin's meaning today, I actually understand."
"…ah?"
Liu Zhishi was dumbfounded again:
"What does Xu Xin mean? ... What does he mean?"
"In order to make me feel at ease, he handed over the person to me to deal with. Because he said on the phone, he will not care about these things in the future... I understand what he said."
"..."
For a while, Liu Zhishi didn't know what to say.
She... her brain is slow to react, and she is a little bit lost at the moment.
But she didn't forget the core point.
After thinking about it, he said:
"Actually, I think... no matter what, this little girl is very lucky. Think about it, how many people want to please you both, but she can get help from both of you. With this name, she actually I can already gain a foothold in this circle...I don't know why Xu Xin placed her dream of being a good actor on her..."
"This is not a hope, but a hope that all young people can hone their acting skills in a down-to-earth manner. He is a director, and he knows what he wants... or what kind of actors he wants to see in the circle. This is what he said after graduation. One reason to stay."
"Uh... Anyway, what I mean is, whether you contact this girl or not, she is lucky enough. Not only is Dad's life saved by you, but also in the circle...
Think about it, what do actresses look at first? Face. She has face, right?
If she is obedient, listens to Xu Xin, and studies acting honestly, then after she comes out... she will naturally know how to take advantage of your relationship... There is no right or wrong. It doesn't matter if you talk about pulling the tiger's skin, or you say that the fox fakes the tiger's power.
Your level of relationship is enough for her to accumulate early advantages. If she can stand out, it means that she is indeed the material. If it doesn't come out...it means this is her life. It's not the material for this bowl of rice~ No matter how much you help, it's useless, right? "
Yang Mi was stunned, looking at her friend:
"So what do you mean?"
Liu Zhishi shrugged like her intimate little padded jacket at this moment:
"The point of your current conflict is that you don't know who to listen to? Do you listen to Uncle Xu and push her away based on the relationship between husband and wife, or...you listen to Xu Xin, he will not have much contact with Nazha in the future... You don’t know who to listen to, is that what you mean?”
"…right."
"That's so simple, don't choose any of them. How do you think you can help her? Sign her? Don't. Isn't that putting eye drops on Uncle Xu? What's more... If I were you, I wouldn't put a husband and wife together. The kind of people that the business bureau got acquainted with stayed by their side.
At least not at this stage.
Because this identity is too sensitive, who knows if the two of them may have private contact in the same company? What's more... what kind of child is she? My father was ill, and someone would prepare hundreds of thousands of dollars just by making a phone call. Then I will help her in school, if you are arranging her debut and giving her resources... Good guy, I don't believe you when you say that the two of you are fine.
In this matter, I can only say...Xu Xin's kindness is far beyond my imagination. It’s even so kind that it’s a bit...too perfect, so perfect that even you two are such a loving couple, as a wife, you will feel pressure. You can’t help but feel inferior to find a hiding place for his dazzling brilliance when you completely trust your husband. Only by making dark excuses can I feel at ease.
But you said you don't care about her? It's not realistic either. Who knows what your husband did this time, so give him a thumbs up? People say that a poor man's tricks and a rich man's conscience. His conscience is there, even his sense of proportion is there. I think anyone...including Uncle Xu who thinks so much about his child is an "insult" to Xu Xin.
The hero's integrity should not be harmed by the dark side of other people's hearts. If you really ignore her...it would be unfair to Xu Xin. It's a satire on kindness. so…"
Speaking of this, Liu Zhishi suddenly sighed...
"Sigh... Although I don't want to tell the truth, I think it's the best method for Xu Xin to give you. First, pick him out. Second, what else can she cause trouble in your hands?"
"Well."
Yang Mi nodded thoughtfully:
"It seems to be so reasonable."
Then, her eyes lit up:
"Didn't see it...Mr. Zhuge. You are really hiding something..."
"..."
Liu Zhishi looked down at the inside of her clothes.
I thank you.
This idiom can be understood by you.
She shook her head slightly:
"It's not hidden, it's just clear to the bystanders. It's too easy for you to handle her. If you are at ease with her, you can sign her and keep her under your nose. If you don't want to, she has the same as you two The name is enough to gain a firm foothold. There is no need to be like Uncle Xu...he is afraid that you will think too much..."
"Um."
Zhuge Kongming, who is known as Xiao Liu Zhishi, advises her, and her mind is much more transparent.
Shi Shi is right, this matter...instead, she and Uncle Xu got into a dead end.
It's actually not that complicated.
Will this girl sign?
possible.
But not at this stage. If she wants to sign Nazha, it must be after the other party has a chance to prove herself.
It would be right if she started cultivating...Shishi from zero.
Then this girl should really buy a lottery ticket... No, winning the first prize in a lottery ticket is not as lucky as this.
So there is no need.
But will she reach out, or give some resources?
meeting.
But the purpose of extending a helping hand is to push the other party away from oneself.
She allows the other party to carry their own name on their backs to roam the sea...but when you can form a pirate group yourself, you will cancel Yang Huzi's name.
Or to put it a bit darker, after she became famous, through this experience, after raising her reputation as "benevolence and righteousness", both parties can break up peacefully.
The purpose of her giving resources is to hope that the other party will receive attention.
Being followed is equivalent to having value.
Naturally, someone will find her.
The road will be easier to walk.
After the road is easy to go, if you can become a particularly down-to-earth actor, then my husband will be very pleased.
This is her credit as a wife.
But if you don't come out... the wife has worked hard, this person is not good, don't feel uncomfortable when we stay away from her husband.
She is not the material.
Following Liu Zhishi's train of thought, after figuring everything out, a look of joy appeared on her face.
Holding a teacup:
"Baby ~ you are awesome!"
"..."
Liu Zhishi rolled her eyes.
Here we go again, right?
Damn Ji!
She picked up the cup in disgust and touched it.
"Ding."
"Those who know me are poets~"
As Yang Mi said, she drank the tea in one gulp.
