My aloof sister is very good at pampering people

However, Zi Su was still very satisfied to see Lin Jie.

Don't get the wrong idea, it's just family affection.

"Then let's talk about business. Where is the male lead that you recommended, Xiaolin?" Director Luo moved his gaze away from Zi Su and asked Lin Jie seriously.

Lin Jie looked at Zi Su: "Where is General Chang? Call him over."

Zi Su looked a little surprised: "Should we ask him to come over?"

Lin Jie nodded.

Zi Su's expression returned to normal, she nodded slightly and went out to call for help.

After a while, a middle-aged man came to the chairman's office under the guidance of Zi Su.

The first time he saw General Chang, Director Luo couldn't help but frown.

Because... this uncle seems a little too unkempt.

Is this an actor?

Is this a rock and roll decadent singer?

Chang Jiang was a little confused about why the young chairman called him. He had just arrived at the company not long ago, and because his future was bleak, he tried his luck and came to Mustard Entertainment for an interview. Unexpectedly, he passed the interview smoothly.

He liked the company's environment and atmosphere very much. Seeing the enthusiasm and vitality of the young people, he, who had been decadent for a long time, was even moved.

However, those cruel experiences in the past have made this once high-spirited middle-aged man no longer have any passion.

This was the first time that Chang Jiang met Lin Jie in the true sense.

When seeing Lin Jie, Chang Jiang thought to himself, well, not bad, quite handsome, just like himself when he was young.

If Director Luo and Zi Su knew what was in his mind, they would definitely sneer at him... Go to hell, who do you think you are?

How dare you compare with Lin Jie?

But the smile on the young chairman's face made him feel a little uncomfortable. He looked down at his slippers and big toe, feeling a little embarrassed for some reason.

"Isn't it a bit sloppy to wear slippers to work?" asked the young handsome man with a smile.

Chang Jiang replied calmly: "I'm sorry, I will wear shoes next time."

He thought Lin Jie would reprimand him for this behavior, but he didn't expect Lin Jie to shake his head and say, "I didn't ask you to wear shoes. It's normal to wear slippers in the hot summer. Many girls also wear slippers to work."

Shisu added, "Croco shoes."

Lin Jie laughed: "Yes, Crocs."

After that, Lin Jie smiled and introduced Chang Jiang to Director Luo, who was frowning: "Chang Jiang, I wonder if you have any impression of him... a male god from a long time ago, a veritable movie king."

Director Luo frowned not because of Chang Jiang's unkempt appearance, but because he was trying hard to recall whether he had heard of this name before.

He suddenly remembered that twenty years ago, there was indeed a young man named Chang Jiang who was extremely popular. However, it seemed that he had offended some people and was hidden from the public. There was no news about him since then.

"I've heard of it. I remember it now." Director Luo looked at General Chang, smiled and said, "But it's not because I remember you, but because of your wife."

"Isn't what Director Luo said a bit rude?" Lin Jie asked with a smile.

Director Luo laughed and began to explain: "I didn't mean anything else. Xiaolin, don't think of me like that... The reason why I said I remembered him because of his wife was because his wife at the time was the queen Wen Li."

Director Luo even smiled and introduced her to Lin Jie: "You probably don't know Wen Li, right? She was the goddess in the hearts of countless young people, just like Xiao Mo is now."

"By the way, where are Wen Liren? Are you guys doing well?"

Chang Jiang looked at them with a lonely look in his eyes: "Maybe, everyone says heaven is a good place... Well, it should be good. At least it's better than being with me."

Lin Jie and Director Luo were stunned for a moment, and then Lin Jie stared at Zi Su with wide eyes... Damn, what is going on?

Zi Su's eyes looked anxious, and a little helpless.

She originally wanted to remind him, but she couldn't resist Lin Jie and Director Luo's quick words.

Lin Jie and Director Luo looked at each other and felt very embarrassed.

What's happening here?

This is like rubbing salt into someone else's wounds and dancing in someone else's minefield!

However, General Chang did not show much expression, only a desolate look: "Oh, she has been gone for almost ten years..."

If you check online now, you can actually find out about those things, but neither Lin Jie nor Director Luo checked.

This has led to an awkward atmosphere.

Lin Jie was silent for a while: "I'm sorry."

Director Luo also coughed twice: "Sorry."

Chang Jiang shook his head: "It's okay, it's normal that you don't know."

Lin Jie felt that if he didn't get down to business, he would really die of embarrassment here. He looked at Chang Jiang seriously and said, "Director Luo and I have a script, and we would like to invite you to be the male lead."

There was a flash of surprise in Chang Jiang's eyes, which then turned into a hint of teasing: "Boss, do you know how long it has been since I last acted in a play?"

"I don't know, but it doesn't matter." Lin Jie said with a smile.

"It will have an impact." Chang Jiang looked at him with a confused look and said, "I'm no longer an actor... I'm nothing."

"Then how did you get into the company?"

"I don't know. Maybe they found out that I've won the Best Actor award before."

Lin Jie: "..."

He looked a little serious: "Old Chang, I don't care what you've been through, but as a senior actor, your attitude and emotions disappoint me."

"Feel sorry."

"You don't have to apologize." Lin Jie was silent for a while: "When I first knew you, I was very happy, thinking that our company had a movie star... It was precisely because I only paid attention to this that I ignored your past. We should be the ones to apologize."

"Boss, you are too serious."

Lin Jie stared at him: "Tell me directly, are you willing to play the leading role?"

"No." Chang Jiang looked at Lin Jie and said softly and seriously.

Lin Jie looked disappointed. He took a sip of tea with a headache and said, "Okay."

The atmosphere fell into awkward silence again.

Before leaving, Chang Jiang, who was used to being indifferent, suddenly stopped. He hesitated for a while and looked at Lin Jie: "I am no longer an actor. I haven't been in a movie for ten years. I even forgot the basic process... and my image is not suitable for being an actor."

Lin Jie was both angry and amused: "Then what are you suitable for?"

"A cleaner, or a security guard."

Lin Jie pursed his lips speechlessly and waved his hand to signal him to go out.

After General Chang left, Director Luo looked at Lin Jie and said, "For the first time, I'm beginning to question your judgment of people."

Lin Jie shook his head: "Director Luo, you should know better than me how suitable General Chang is for this role."

Director Luo was silent and said softly: "It should be the former General Chang who is suitable, not the current General Chang."

The movie that Chang Jiang won the Best Actor award for was also a patriotic movie with the same theme. His acting skills, his image, and his passion shocked everyone who saw the movie. It was like seeing the bloody battles of their ancestors with their own eyes, and they were so moved that they burst into tears.

That was the first time that Lin Jie saw the light of faith in an actor's eyes.

But now there is only a lifeless gloom over Chang Jiang.

"What happened back then?" Lin Jie asked.

Director Luo shook his head and said, "You should ask Wu Ziqi or Xiao Shuishui. I don't know much about this matter. I only know that he offended someone and lost all his resources. Later, it seemed that Wen Li was also implicated because of him. I don't know what happened in the end."

Hearing the names of Wu Ziqi and Xiao Shuishui, Lin Jie frowned slightly: "Is it related to them?"

Director Luo shook his head and said, "They may know more, but it can't be related to them. If there is any connection, it must be related to their elders."

Lin Jie nodded and fell into deep thought.

"What should we do now?" Director Luo asked.

Lin Jie hesitated for a while: "Give me one night."

Director Luo nodded, and when he stood up and left, he gave him a deep look: "One night can't save a drowning person who is unwilling to even extend his hand."

Lin Jie didn't say anything else.

……

How long has it been since I saw disappointment in someone's eyes?

The last person who was disappointed in you was Xiaoli, right?

I often think with some self-mockery that I should not continue to live.

But he is also a person who is very afraid of death, a very pitiful and sad person.

Chang Jiang admitted that when he heard Lin Jie asked him to play the leading male role, his heart, which had been silent for many years, started beating.

Wen Li seemed to appear in front of him, her eyebrows raised, looking at him with anger and disappointment. She asked, "Why don't you agree? Don't you even have the courage to carry on with my last wish?"

Chang Jiang said calmly, "I haven't acted for ten years, Xiaoli... I'm no longer a lousy actor, I'm just a waste."

A trace of heartache flashed across Wen Li's pretty face: "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have gone to that party. If I hadn't gone, those dirty things wouldn't have happened... You wouldn't have been so angry that you lost your mind and beat that person..."

"Enough!" General Chang roared. He gritted his teeth and said, "It has nothing to do with you! That was my own idea! I was too stupid to let my wife go..."

Chang Jiang burst into tears and said, "I was wrong. I was blinded by fame and fortune. It's my fault! Xiaoli, Xiaoli!"

Wen Li hugged his head tenderly and said softly, "It's okay, it's okay, it's all over, it's all over... I don't blame you."

Chang Jiang was heartbroken: "It was obviously my fault, but why did I hurt you? Why did I hurt you with harsh words? Xiaoli, I am really a piece of shit..."

"Okay, okay, don't cry, don't cry."

"Xiao Li, do you know? Apart from you, this is the first time I've seen disappointment in the eyes of others... My fans won't remember who I am anymore, and they don't care what happens to me. Those companies will only look at me with disdain, and those who were once very familiar with me will only look at me with disgust..." Chang Jiang's emotions slowly calmed down, and he shared his experience: "I always remember what you said to me. You wanted me to be fine, not to die, to stand up well, to let others get slapped in the face, and to work hard to get back to my previous position."

"How high I held my head in the beginning, how low I have been in these years."

"No one was willing to help me. There was only ridicule, contempt and disdain in their eyes."

"But I am respected by everyone in Wasabi Entertainment. Everyone looks at me with admiration. They call me senior, teacher, and movie star..."

Chang Jiang showed a smile on his face: "They are a group of very cute children.

"It's just that I am nothing now."

"I could only smile awkwardly, but I couldn't help them at all."

"That young chairman even pushed a male lead script to me for some unknown reason... I think he has a problem with his brain. He actually gave up the male lead and found a loser like me."
