you after the mist

After entering the hall, Tang Ran felt someone pat him from behind.

"Teacher Xu." Yang Rui called out from the side.

He turned his head and saw Xu Yunqing standing behind him with a smile, "Long time no see."

"Yes." Tang Ran also smiled, "I made an appointment for dinner last time, but you didn't come."

It was already late when Tang Ran and the others went that day, but Xu Yunqing hadn't arrived yet.I called to ask, and said that there was something wrong with Li Shuang, so he went to check, but he didn't come.

"Make it up next time." Xu Yunqing pursed his lips, "It's mainly Xiaoshuang's side..."

"Is this a reconciliation?" Tang Ran interrupted him with a fake joke, "You don't need to report to me one by one about the two of you."

Xu Yunqing punched him, and changed his tone of teasing, "I'm angry, it seems that I offended you for missing the appointment that day."

"Don't label me indiscriminately, I'm so angry." They walked forward together, and the elevator stopped on the first floor, and Tang Ran reached out and pressed the button.

"This seems to be the first time that all the spokespersons are gathered together to shoot a New Year's advertisement?" Xu Yun leaned against the car leisurely.

"Yeah." Tang Ran didn't know the new shooting method until he got the commercial script the day before yesterday.

"It's because his brand is big and the endorsement fee is higher than others, so that they can get so many people together at one time." Xu Yunqing was still not aware of it, and was still talking to himself.

"There are four tea series." Yang Rui added a sentence.

"Yes." Xu Yunqing counted with his fingers, "Your boss, me, and..."

He quickly counted Jiang Ning's name, and Jiang Ning endorsed the oolong tea.Thinking of this, Tang Ran felt irritable again, and stretched out his hands to rub the center of his brows.

Jiang Ning arrived earlier than Tang Ran, and Tang Ran happened to meet him coming out as he was walking towards the dressing room.Presumably knowing that they would meet in advance, Jiang Ning didn't look surprised. He nodded at them as a greeting, and walked sideways with his assistant.

Seeing Jiang Ning walking past, Tang Ran wanted to say something, but couldn't.Just looking back before entering the door, Jiang Ning has already gone far.After knowing exactly how Jiang Ning's leg was injured, he couldn't help but suspect that there was something inside the breakup that he didn't know about.But Tao Liyang hasn't replied yet, and the fog in front of his eyes can't even tear a crack.

During the whole makeup process, Tang Ran couldn't help but go through every possible clue several times, without any clue, and almost didn't even hear the makeup artist call.

"Teacher Tang?"

"Huh?" Tang Ran cheered up and looked at the mirror, "Is it melted?"

"All right."

She took out a notebook and handed it to Tang Ran, "I have a niece who knows I'm going to do makeup today and wants an autograph."

"Oh, yes." Tang Ran signed his name and wrote two words of blessing.

The makeup artist thanked him and took it back, and handed it to Xu Yunqing who was beside him.

"This means that we have to gather together." Xu Yunqing joked, signed and turned a few pages forward, "Isn't Qi Zhe here yet?"

"It didn't arrive."

"Then today is probably too late." He muttered.

Qi Zhe was really late, the advertiser called Tang Ran to remind them, and kept apologizing to Tang Ran and the others.

"This is too shameless." Xu Yunqing got a pen from somewhere, and turned it around in his hand.

"Maybe something really delayed it." Qi Zhe, like Xu Yunqing, is also an artist of Yaoxing. He is not much older than Tang Ran and the others, but he debuted earlier.He used to be considered very popular, but now that there are a lot of newcomers in the entertainment industry, he is no longer the same as before.

Xu Yunqing poked him with a pen, "Are you still busy today?"

"No, I haven't received many notifications during this time. Do you still have work later?"

"That's all for today, nothing else. Otherwise, I would have left." Xu Yunqing raised his chin as he spoke, "That one might have it."

Tang Ran also noticed that Jiang Ning's assistant looked impatient and was negotiating with the staff.

"He may have to rush back to filming, so he should hurry to the airport." Tang Ran said.

Tang Ran has never filmed Gao Pingxin's film, but Tang Ran knows a thing or two about his tight schedule.Jiang Ning must have been under a lot of pressure during the filming period. In the face-to-face just now, he was obviously wearing makeup, and Tang Ran also noticed his slightly swollen eyelids.

"It's really too late for us here. Isn't this a bit of a rule?" Assistant Jiang Ning became more and more anxious, and his voice was raised, which could be heard by the entire studio.

"Yao Qiao." Jiang Ning intervened, "It's not something they can control, you go to the crew first..."

"Sorry, I'm late, and I've wasted everyone's time. I'm very sorry." Qi Zhe rushed over at this time, followed by a few people in takeaway clothes.As soon as he arrived at the door, he bowed in all directions, "It's also cold, so I ordered some soup as an apology to everyone."

The people present didn't move. They were somewhat impatient for being late for such a long time, but he is an old artist, and he lowered his posture so low once he came here, and he seemed aggressive when he accused him.

Qi Zhe didn't feel embarrassed by such silence. He took a box of soup by himself and walked up to Jiang Ning, "Jiang Ning, I heard it just now, I'm sorry."

He said the words of apology, but without any sense of guilt, he handed them over with one hand, which was very perfunctory.

"It's okay." Jiang Ning still calmly reached out to take it.The box of soup fell to the ground. The box was tightly covered so that it didn't spill out, but it was enough to attract the attention of the people around.

"What's going on?" Tang Ran took a step closer to Xu Yunqing, walking from Qi Zhe to Jiang Ning, and he felt something was wrong.

"Jiang Ning is now filming that scene. After he stopped filming last year, Qi Zhe went to fight for it for a long time, but he didn't get it. Later, he stopped the project directly. Now, Jiang Ning is now acting again. He must be upset." Xu Yunqing whispered. Said, "But Qi Zhe is stupid enough to do this. You said that Jiang Ning had such a scandal some time ago, and he was not affected. Obviously he is not someone Qi Zhe can mess with." Look at the performance of the show.

Tang Ran couldn't help but watch from the sidelines.Before anyone else could react, he walked over quickly and picked up the takeaway box from the ground. "Brother Qi, let's talk after the filming of soup. It won't be cold for a while. Since you are here, let's hurry up and start filming."

Qi Zhe didn't expect him to come over suddenly. After a moment of surprise, he squinted at him and moved his mouth as if he wanted to say something.

"Yes, Brother Qi." Xu Yunqing followed, "I still have some things to do over there, why don't we shoot first."

"Okay." Qi Zhe glanced around them, "It's because I didn't think carefully, let's shoot first."

It happened earlier, but nothing went wrong during the filming.The director of today's filming is a well-known good guy in the circle, he always laughs at everything, and he didn't intend to interfere when the artists had a conflict just now.However, the business ability is really strong, the whole advertisement design is very innovative, and the shooting is also smooth.

"What kind of Lei Feng did you just go to be?" Xu Yunqing took the coat from the assistant.

Seeing his hat turned upside down, Tang Ran straightened it for him. "Didn't you come over too?"

"Do you want to shame you?" Xu Yunqing rolled his eyes, "Did I go there for Jiang Ning? I don't know you well. If it wasn't for fear of you losing money, I wouldn't go into this muddy water."

"Got it." Tang Ran glanced at him, "I'm just tired of waiting and don't want to waste time on this little thing."

"That's what you say." Xu Yunqing didn't know whether to believe it or not, but he was always good at this and never questioned anyone.

"Let's go first, call Shang Liyang next time, let's drink together." He yawned, "I'm exhausted today."

"Okay, let's meet again next time."

Yang Rui didn't know where to go, and sent Xu Yunqing away, but Tang Ran looked around but didn't see her.Just as he was about to make a phone call, he caught sight of Qiao Zhe coming out of the lounge beside him.

He hurriedly walked aside, and stopped a step when he saw Tang Ran, "Tang Ran, I haven't offended you before, have I?"

Tang Ran put away the phone, with a smile on his face, "In a circle, nothing can be offended."

"So today was an accident"

"Brother Qiao definitely didn't mean to be late on purpose, of course it was an accident." Tang Ran still spoke in a gentle tone.

"That's good." Qiao Zhepi gave him a gouging look with a non-smiling smile, and turned into the corridor on the right.

There were still voices in the lounge, Tang Ran felt familiar, looking in through the open door, it was Jiang Ning.

He was sitting on a chair with his back to the door talking to his assistant.

Tang Ran couldn't hear their conversation clearly, but the girl named Yao Qiao looked unhappy.

He stepped aside before they came out.Jiang Ning walked away, while Yao Qiao looked around and went to the corridor on the right.

There was no room over there, Tang Ran glanced at the sign, it was the direction of the safe passage.

When I looked again, Yao Qiao had disappeared, Tang Ran decided to follow after a little deliberation.He walked to the entrance of the stairwell, thought for a while, then went back and took the elevator up to the first floor.

There is no light and no sound in the corridor. Not many people choose to take the stairs on such a floor.

Tang Ran grabbed the railing and looked down. There was arguing in the stairwell on the next floor.A man and a woman, the woman is undoubtedly Yao Qiao.That man was far away, and Tang Ran couldn't see it clearly, but he was sure it wasn't Qiao Zhe.The man was very excited, walking up and down the corridor uneasily while talking.Tang Ran leaned forward a little, and finally managed to see his face clearly when he walked to the stairs.

It was the assistant who had been rumored to be gay with Jiang Ning.

Tang Ran's heart skipped a beat, he took a deep breath to calm himself down, and carefully moved down a few steps.

The corridor was very empty, and the voices of the two echoed and could barely be heard clearly.

"Where's Brother Jiang?"

"Do you think he will come here to meet you?" Yao Qiao stretched out his hand to give him a hand. "Let's talk about it in another place."

"Is he over there?"

"I'll talk to you, he won't see you."

"Why doesn't he see me?" The man shook off Yao Qiao's hand, "I won't leave, I'll wait for him here, you tell him to come over."

"You don't have to leave. If you are not afraid of people coming, just talk about it here." Yao Qiao sneered, "What reason do you have to find him? Let's work together anyway. You old people really think I don't know. There are many exams. You were caught cheating once, and you were forced to drop out of school. You looked for a job everywhere but couldn’t find it, if you hadn’t met Brother Jiang and asked you to be his assistant, you would have gone back to your hometown.”

"Is he kind? He obviously used me as a substitute." The man's voice was sharp.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Yao Qiao looked at him.

"You know that." He seemed to grasp something, "He wants to see someone else through me, right?"

"I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're talking about. Looking at you means you're using you as a substitute? I haven't seen such logic. If you are used to replace someone, then has he done something deviant to you? "

The man didn't answer.

"Speak." Yao Qiao raised her voice, "during the time you were Jiang Ning's assistant, did he do anything inappropriate to you?"

Her strong tone frightened the man. "No, but..."

"No, but, don't want to slander his sexuality until now. If you do this again, we will sue you."

She turned around and was about to leave, but the man was stunned for a second, and rushed over to stop her, "Yao Qiao, I beg you. I was wrong at the beginning, I..."

He became incoherent, "Brother Jiang didn't know where to go that day, he drank too much when he came back, and kept saying sorry to me. I know he admitted the wrong person, I know. Later he fell asleep, so I secretly posted him on the face and took a picture." Zhang, I didn't want to do anything, really."

"What didn't you want to do? Then why did you shoot? Sister Li asked you, didn't she?" Yao Qiao grabbed his shoulder. "Thinking about your own situation, I think it's better for you to tell the truth."

"Sister Li said that Brother Jiang might not renew his contract with the company. If there is some scandal to keep him, the company can let me make my debut..." He cried out as he spoke, "But there was nothing, they fired me directly I can’t find a job anywhere, and I’m sure I’ll be fired if I don’t do any job for two days. I don’t even have money for food.”

"What happened to Qiao Zhe?" Yao Qiao asked "Why did he bring you here?" "

"I asked around and found out that Brother Jiang would come here to shoot an advertisement today. I wanted to ask him to help me, but the security guards wouldn't let me in. Later, Qiao Zhe recognized me, and he brought me up and asked me to wait here .” He made a gesture to kneel down, “I really can’t do anything…”

Yao Qiao took a step back and threw a card to him, "Here is 5 yuan, and the password is six zeros. Go home and don't stay in N City."

She looked around, "Where did Qi Zhe put the recorder?"

"What..." The man tremblingly picked up the card, "I didn't..."

"It doesn't matter if you are in the same group or not." Yao Qiao took out a recording pen and shook it, "Don't think about doing any tricks, so as not to trouble everyone, I also recorded the whole process."

"Brother Tang, where did you run off just now? You disappeared when I came back after putting on my makeup."

"Didn't I send you a message to wait in the car?" Tang Ran walked to the parking lot and saw Yang Rui dangling beside the car.

"I really can't believe you. You asked me to wait last time, but you became a hot search. You also made me scolded by sister Shen."

"I'm really too gentle with you at ordinary times. You are all afraid of Shenxi but not me." Tang Ran rubbed her knees, which were still a little numb after squatting for too long. "It's almost Chinese New Year, and the year-end bonus hasn't been given yet. It's too early to offend me now."

Yang Rui looked back at him, "Brother Tang, you are in a good mood."

"Concentrate on driving your car." Tang Ran scolded her with a smile.

Yang Rui pursed her lips, "Your phone is ringing."

Tang Ran glanced at the phone screen, concentrated, and pressed the answer button "Li Yang."

Tao Liyang hummed, and then said, "How much do you know about Jiang Ning's family?"

"I know some, not much." Tang Ran replied.

When they were together, they talked a lot about the past. They shared with each other the ugliness and stupidity they made when they were young.But the only one, the two of them seldom get involved, and they don't know how to say it.Jiang Ning didn't mention much, and he also only told Jiang Ning that his parents were divorced. After all, these things didn't seem to be too important at the time.

"Then he is an illegitimate child, do you know?"

"I know." Tang Ran was stunned, and bit his lip, "You don't mean to say..."

"Yes." Tao Liyang directly revealed the answer, "Lin Yi is his father."

"sure?"

"Sure, it's not wrong. And..." He hesitated.

"And what?" Tang Ran was so shocked by the news that he couldn't recover.

Tao Liyang's voice was a bit unbearable, "They didn't just discover their relationship recently. They should have known about it shortly before you broke up."

Tang Ran's phone fell down with a snap, and he bent down to touch it several times before he picked it up.

Tao Liyang heard his movements, and sighed over there, "I'm at home, come here."
