Chapter 531 529. The starry sky is bright
Xu Xin came suddenly, in fact, the old couple was also very happy.
It's not that these two miss their son-in-law much.
It’s only been a few days? It's not like not seeing each other in a day is like three autumns.
But the old couple just liked the son-in-law's attitude towards their daughter very much.
Seeing the young couple being so sweet, the old couple felt at ease.
They also came here when they were young, from falling in love to getting married, and after marriage, the passion retreated and turned into the warm companionship of family love.
The couple who have been together for decades naturally know how difficult it is to extend the shelf life of "love" indefinitely.
Need big romance, need small romance, but not just romance...
Adding that my daughter has been favored by me since she was a child, it is inevitable that her temper will become a bit rough.
Especially after learning martial arts, he raised his fist at Xiao Xu every day...
Although they didn't say anything, they were always worried that their daughter was too strong.
But now, seeing the young couple have been fighting each other for so many years, and even the children have a relationship that has basically remained the same, they feel more at ease in their hearts.
If you feel at ease in your heart, then you will be happy.
If you are happy, you have to cook something delicious for your daughter and son-in-law.
Although they lived in a hotel, the old couple took their children out early in the morning.
Sun Ting is familiar with Hengdian, so she took the two of them to the market to buy a large bag of vegetables.
Start cooking in the hotel's small kitchen specially equipped for entertainers.
And when the dishes were ready, when he returned to the room with the trolley pushed by the waiter, he saw Yang Mi's drooping donkey face.
and Xu Xin who was packing up.
in argument?
This was Yang Dalin's first reaction.
quickly asked:
"What's the matter? Did you quarrel?"
"without…"
Xu Xin quickly shook his head:
"I'm in a mood."
Hearing this, Yang Dalin was stunned, then looked at Yang Mi again:
"Are you headstrong again?"
"What do you mean I'm self-willed... I asked him to leave one day later... He didn't even agree! I came so late last night, and I will leave when I wake up! What do you think of this? A sleeper!"
"..."
"..."
"..."
Including Xu Xin, the three of them were speechless.
Yang Dalin thought for a while and said:
"Can't stay an extra day?"
"I can't stay. I still have a movie soundtrack to do today, so I'll push it off tomorrow. After dinner, I'll go to Demon City to meet an elder. I guess I'll only stay for an hour or two, and I'll have to rush overnight Back to Xi'an."
Xu Xin said as he walked up to Yang Mi and hugged her:
"Okay, don't be angry. The movie will be over in a week at most, so it's time for the Venice Film Festival. I'll come over when I'm done, okay?"
"Get up! Don't touch me! Why are you here! Why are you so annoying!"
In the early morning, I wanted to take advantage of my parents to cook, and have a sweet morning negative distance communication with my husband.
But when Xu Xin said the sentence: "It's 11 o'clock? I have to leave quickly", her mentality collapsed instantly.
Even feel like being prostituted.
At the moment, the whole body is full of petty temper, the kind that can't be done without expressing it.
no.
The more I think about it, the more I feel wronged.
Gradually, her eyes turned red:
"Let's go, go wherever you like! Dad, I want to eat, I'm hungry!"
"...well, I'm not leaving, is it okay if I don't?"
Seeing her state, Xu Xin also softened her heart.
have to.
Then let’s play with the princes.
Sure enough, upon hearing the decision he made, all the expressions on Yang Mi's face instantly collapsed.
"Hmph! That's about the same!... Hurry up and brush your teeth and eat."
"Um."
Xu Xin, who decided to stay in Hengdian for one more day, nodded and walked to the bathroom.
Or say this woman is a bitch.
Changing faces becomes faster than turning pages.
After eating, take a pat on the table:
"You go."
Without getting up, she cleared up her mind, what was important and what was tolerable, so she kicked Xu Xin out of the house.
A man born between heaven and earth, how could he be greedy for the **** of beautiful men in the harem! ?
Hurry up and get busy with your business!
In the final analysis, after a show of mutual understanding was staged again, Xu Xin kissed his daughter and son fiercely on the cheeks, and set off on the road again with his briefcase.
In the car, he called Liu Momo.
But the phone rang for a long time before Liu Momo's voice sounded weakly:
"Hello…"
"…I got sick?"
Xu Xin hurriedly expressed concern.
"Jet lag, brother! Jet lag! Did you know that it's only 4 o'clock in the morning in the Netherlands..."
"Uh... have you ever seen Los Angeles at 4am?"
"Fuck off, I have something to talk about! In order to talk to your daughter-in-law about the copyright of "The Voice", I am almost exhausted... Tell me, what are you going to do!"
"Okay. Is Uncle Liu at home?"
"...Looking for my dad?"
"right."
"Should be there. He called yesterday and didn't say where he was going to do research or anything. You go... Oh yes, don't take things. Cheap and expensive things are not acceptable."
"Okay, got it."
"Well, hang up."
Beep.
Hung up the phone, Xu Xin didn't say a word, sat in the car and began to think about how to talk about today's meeting.
3:30 p.m.
He arrived in Modu.
He didn't use anyone to arrange this trip.
Obviously a phone call, Xu Miao had to arrange someone to pick him up.
But he didn't let anyone know that he came to Shanghai.
After taking a taxi with Su Meng back to Tangchen Yipin, he went upstairs first, and after making sure that the old man was not at home, he left Su Meng at home:
"You can do whatever you want, and I will leave you alone for dinner."
Holding A6's car key, he went straight out the door.
While waiting for the car to go out in the basement, he sent a message to Liu Kuan:
"Uncle Liu, are you busy at night? I want to visit you."
The information came back very quickly:
"Come on, silently just finished calling me. I'll be off work in a while."
"OK."
Seeing this message, Xu Xin drove out the door directly.
"Old Man and" bad chicken, bad shrimp, edamame, chicken feet, and trotters from Zhuangyuanlou.
Went to two places in a row. After carrying a big bag, I bought a bottle of old rice wine from Shikumen.
It’s not expensive, just over two hundred.
Carrying these things that can be eaten in one meal, he rushed to Liu Kuan's house.
It is very difficult to find parking spaces in this area. All streets are controlled and traffic laws are very strict.
Xu Xin wandered around for a while before stopping the Audi at a distance of five or six hundred meters in a straight line.
It was past five o'clock, and he called Liu Kuan.
"Doo...Hello, Xiao Xu."
"Uncle Liu, I'm at your house right now..."
Quickly reported the address, Liu Kuan was a little puzzled:
"I finished greeting the gatekeeper, you can just go in, why do you ask me to pick you up?"
"Haha, I bought you some bad stuff. There is also a bottle of rice wine~"
"Ha~"
Liu Kuan chuckled lightly:
"Okay, then you wait, I will pick you up."
"OK."
So, Xu Xin waited on the side of the road for a while, and saw an old Audi A6.
Get in the car directly, Liu Kuan looked at his sweaty face, but didn't say a word, but took the two bags of trash.
"Zhuangyuan Building and the old man? Why do you still go to two places? The bad chicken in Zhuangyuan Building is also good."
"I feel inferior to the old man when I eat."
"Well, that's right. That's just right. I'll make a cucumber when I get home later, and this meal will be very comfortable to eat."
"Hey, why don't you get some good tea?"
"Haha~"
Liu Kuan seemed quite happy.
asked:
"Someone will pick you up later?"
"Well, the car is there."
He pointed back.
Liu Kuan turned his head and took a look, and said:
"Then your parking fee is quite expensive."
"Haha, it must be worth seeing you."
"Haha~"
While the driver was driving silently and steadily, he returned to Liu Kuan's home all the way.
The nanny at home has cooked six dishes and brought them to the dining room.
Although they are all home-cooked dishes, Liu Kuan said: "Knowing that you will come tonight, I asked Sister Hong to add two extra dishes. Including you bastards, we have to loosen our belts for this meal. .” It expresses the attitude.
Let him add food to entertain.
itself means welcome.
Soon, all the bad stuff was put on plates and placed on the round table.
Xu Xin opened this bottle of Shikumen.
The dining room is not too big, but it’s not too small. It’s actually quite empty for two people to eat.
no way…
Who made Sister Mo not live up to her expectations?
Get in a relationship early and have everything?
Pour the wine, don't rush to talk about business.
They are all talking about the World Expo that is still in progress.
The World Expo will close on October 31st, and there will be a report performance at that time.
This World Expo is a milestone in the history of the World Expo, both in terms of scale and number of people.
More than 246 countries and regions participated in the exhibition, and the number of visitors is expected to exceed 60 million. After the Olympic Games, China once again exerted its importance on the world stage.
It proved to everyone what color a steadily rising platform can bring to the world.
And Liu Kuan said at the dinner table:
"Xiao Xu, everyone thinks highly of you."
In exchange for a respectful glass of wine from Xu Xin.
…
In fact, I drank half a bottle of wine, one cup per person.
This meal is over.
Alcohol does not make one intoxicated, but intoxicated people are not good for chatting.
As long as it is activated to bring the atmosphere closer.
After the end, Liu Kuan took down a box of tea from the cabinet at home, and said:
"Go, go to the study."
"OK."
After Xu Xin carried the briefcase all the way to the study, Liu Kuan sat at the very simple desk by himself, started to boil water and make tea with the tea set.
And Xu Xin sat opposite him.
The sound of the kettle filled the study, Liu Kuan took the cigarette he handed over, and then asked:
"I saw that you lost your mind when you were eating, what's wrong?"
Have it?
Xu Xin didn't think so.
But there must always be a reason to start the conversation.
"You see it?"
"Well. It can make you lose your temper. It seems that this matter is quite difficult?"
"…well."
Xu Xin sighed, nodded, and took out a stack of documents from his bag:
"Look."
"Um."
Liu Kuan took it, turned on the desk lamp, and put on his glasses.
At the first glance, he was stunned.
"Jinling Thirteen Beauties" advertising cooperation agreement?
Rao is him, and he can't help showing a dazed look.
what is this?
This kind of thing... let's not talk about whether it is difficult or not, and don't mention your relationship with Zhang Yimou.
How did you find me suddenly?
"Actually, I don't want to cause you any trouble. But there are some things... After meeting and understanding, I always want to do something. Look at the amount of this contract..."
Hearing this, Liu Kuan nodded:
"You continue to talk."
"The first contract is the contract of Jinding Pawnshop. This is a contract for filing taxes with the tax bureau, and it is 500,000. I also have a contract in my mobile phone that Zhang Weiping, an investor of "Jinling", sent to Director Zhang. 200,000... But I heard from other sources that the actual price of this contract is 4.5 million."
"..."
Liu Kuan didn't say anything, but frowned, and continued to look at the next contract.
Seeing this, Xu Xin continued:
"These contracts are actually similar, and the quoted prices are all very low. And there is a rule, that is, unknown companies all pay hundreds of thousands of dollars. But the more well-known companies, the higher the quoted prices. "
“…will this be in the movie?”
"There are probably three or four, such as the **** shop. There may be a building with a sign on it among the ruined walls that appear in the movie, and the words "Jinding Pawn Shop" are written on it. Others cannot be climbed. Yes, it’s all in the thanks and partners before and after the film.”
"..."
Now, Liu Kuan fell silent.
After roughly looking at these contracts, he raised his head:
"Zhang Yimou's crew, right?"
"Yes. However, what I know for sure is that he just made a movie."
"Then isn't New Picture Films his company?"
"He makes movies, and the new screens give him a share of the box office, and the shares have nothing to do with it. Moreover, he is not in charge of business, and he doesn't care much about these things. I can guarantee this."
"Is that so..."
Liu Kuan thought for a while and asked:
"You can come to me, it should not be just a matter of this movie, right? In the past two years, there have been so many placements of advertisements and the like, it is not an exception. Otherwise, you can use these things as report materials and directly hand them over to The jurisdiction you belong to is fine...Your words are not completely weightless."
"Um…"
Xu Xin nodded and said:
"People say that you can see the whole leopard from one spot. As you said, this kind of thing is not an exception. I think... it may be an unspoken rule of the industry."
"..."
Liu Kuan narrowed his eyes.
And Xu Xin also fell silent at the right time.
Finish a cigarette.
The silence of every minute and every second was broken.
"Can't find someone to trust?"
"Um."
Xu Xin smiled wryly:
"Actually, my first reaction was to find you... but I don't think so. Because of this matter... just like what you said, I don't trust anyone except you. And I can't put my wealth and life on other people. People. If my guess is correct, then...the things involved in this may be tens of billions or even higher. And there are many, many people involved, but I also understand what interlacing is like a mountain..."
"Want to be the fire igniter, but afraid that the flame will be too big and burn yourself to ashes?"
"right."
Seeing that he had already guessed it, Xu Xin simply nodded:
"I know maybe I'm a bit low-minded...but I just got married and my children haven't grown up yet...the career I love has just started...hehe."
Speaking of this, Xu Xin scratched his head:
"Just kidding, I haven't lived enough."
"..."
Liu Kuan didn't think this was so funny.
Just lost in thought.
Actually, he didn't think Xiao Xu did anything wrong.
It is a good thing to be brave and fearless with blood rushing forward.
Considering the overall situation, unnecessary sacrifices are also inevitable.
Don't want to be a hero, but want to change something.
Advance aggressively, not greedy for merit.
The mind is also clear enough.
Knows how to play it safe...
This kid...
Going the wrong way.
It’s not right to say you’re going wrong, it’s right to say you’re taking a detour.
Baihua needed a lot of effort.
This is the end of the review.
He thought for a while and said:
"Then why did you find me all of a sudden?"
“…I want you to find someone else.”
"?"
Liu Kuan was taken aback.
Immediately became dumbfounded:
"Who else do you want to find?"
"It's like this, Uncle Liu. I think... this kind of thing is not on your system after all. Right?"
"Um."
"So... I really don't want to cause you any trouble. After all... If my deduction is correct, since these things can exist, there must be their "rationality", don't you think?"
Xu Xin put emphasis on "rationality".
then went on to say:
"Besides, although I have these in my hands now, if I really investigate, I definitely shouldn't make a big move, or I will easily startle the snake. So, after thinking about it, I think this matter should not go from the bottom to the top, but from the top to the bottom That's right. I don't want any credit, but as the circle I work in, I don't want people to look at me and their first reaction is: "This person is probably not clean". I can't accept it~"
"so?"
"So, I think the person who can start to deal with this matter, the person who can change the ecological environment of a circle, preferably the person who needs this matter."
"The layout is too small, Xiao Xu."
Understanding what Xu Xin meant, Liu Kuan shook his head with a smile:
"Although your starting point is correct, the angle of this sentence is wrong. Do you know where the mistake is?"
"Well…"
"This is our home. Everyone is brothers and sisters in this family."
Liu Kuan drew a circle towards Xu Xin:
"Everyone is working hard for this family, and so many people are giving selflessly every day. Everything they do is for the better tomorrow of this family. But at this time, there are a small group of people who, on the surface, It seems that they are also fighting for everyone, but in fact they are fighting for their own family.
Now that things are known, it is natural to use the rules formulated by our "everyone" to measure.
No way, no country. The law is not expensive, and the rope is not bent.
This is a rule made by everyone. It is also the greatest reliance on fairness.
It’s not that anyone needs it, but after seeing this, everyone has the responsibility and obligation to maintain this “everyone”. Only by kicking out the black sheep can the balance of justice not be out of balance. "
After helping Xu Xin correct a misunderstanding, Liu Kuan smiled when he saw his nodding:
"However, this does not mean that you are all wrong. I can somewhat understand your starting point. To put it bluntly, the matter at the foot of the emperor and the root of the imperial city must be handled locally. You are so Do you think so?"
"Yes. I'm also afraid of causing trouble to you... But it's true that I'm shallow-minded when you say that."
"You are still young."
Liu Kuan roughly looked through these contracts again.
"Young, you are allowed to make mistakes. The important thing is what you can learn from your mistakes. Everyone is crossing the river by feeling the stones. The river is fast-moving, and it is normal to not think carefully. But... I am curious, according to What do you mean, who do you want to find?"
He was a little curious.
Can I still become a springboard?
Hearing this, Xu Xin scratched his head in embarrassment:
"Actually, I... also went to the doctor for a sudden illness. Do you remember that after the opening ceremony, during the meal..."
Under Liu Kuan's curious gaze, Xu Xin told the story of the middle-aged man.
"From the Olympics to this time... every time I meet him, he will come over and talk to me. I think this is considered a good fate. After all, there are so many people, there is no need to stare at me, don't you think so?"
"..."
Now, Liu Kuan fell silent.
just frowned.
"Twice in a row?"
"Yes, twice in a row."
"...?"
Now, he was also puzzled.
"You don't know each other?"
"do not know…"
After finishing speaking, Xu Xin didn't ask anything like "Do you know me?"
Things at this level are too complicated.
And this is actually the reason why he came to find Liu Kuan.
If there are two families with different opinions, then Liu Kuan can take care of this matter.
After all, no matter how Xu Xin thought about it, he felt that this was a matter of damage to his wallet, and no leader would allow this to happen.
is credit.
And if it is a family with the same opinion, that would be even better.
Although he doesn't know the pros and cons, the essence of some things is the same.
The money that should have fallen into my pocket was stolen by others.
No one will be comfortable.
Although the description is somewhat inappropriate, he firmly believes that his intuition is correct.
…
"Brother Xu!"
"Um."
Xu Xin, who was smoking, nodded when he saw Su Meng, threw the cigarette **** out, and opened the car door:
"Let's go to the airport."
"OK!"
Su Meng nodded, and quickly came to the main driver's seat of A6.
While adjusting the seat, I saw a ticket on the central control.
She didn't ask any more questions, and drove directly to the airport.
Xu Xin didn't say much along the way, leaning on the seat, watching the night scene outside in silence.
Su Meng didn't ask Xu Xin what she was doing, and she didn't find any reason to start the chat mode. After driving to the airport in this way, he asked:
"Brother Xu, what about this car?"
"Just put it at the China Southern Airlines counter for a while, and someone will come to pick it up."
"OK."
Su Meng nodded, picked up the ticket on the central control and was about to get off the car.
"I will not take this ticket."
"...Huh? Don't take it?"
"right."
Xu Xin nodded, and suddenly showed a smile:
"It has disappeared."
"Well…"
Su Meng was stunned, a little puzzled.
These two hundred...wouldn’t be enough to find someone to pay for it?
Wouldn’t it be good to pay a fine?
Brother Xu doesn't like to be favored by others?
But why did it get canceled this time uncharacteristically?
She was full of puzzlement.
But Xu Xin didn't explain much.
explained that she may not understand.
Anyway, although this trip to the magic capital was short...
But the trip was worthwhile.
When he was about to enter the airport, he subconsciously looked up at the starry sky.
Yo?
The air quality today is really good.
The starry sky is clear and beautiful.
"Ha~"
