red and white roses together

When the phone rang, Ji Congxiao was washing up.Maybe Sheng Huai's room was too soundproof, or maybe the bed was too soft, it was rare for him to wake up naturally after a night of sleep.

It was Ye Zhuo who called. After reading the script last night and confirming that he wanted "Li Dai Tao Zombie", he sent a message to Ye Zhuo asking him to contact him. I think this is what I want to talk about right now.The efficiency is quite fast.

After answering the phone and opening the door to go downstairs, I heard a small sound in the kitchen while still on the stairs.

He went to bed late and got up late.And Shenghuai's biological clock is there, and a late night's sleep can't change much.

Therefore, when he walked down the stairs, he saw that the other party had already put breakfast on the table.

Milk, sandwiches, fried eggs, ham and fruit.

Typical western breakfast.

"Morning Brother Sheng." He took a serious look at Sheng Huai and greeted him.

Sheng Huai nodded: "How did you sleep?"

The tone was the same as usual.

"not bad."

The communication between the two couldn't be more ordinary, but to Ye Zhuo's ears, it was not the same thing.

"Is there someone in your family?" The vigilance was instantly erected.

Ji Congxiao turned on the loudspeaker, threw the phone on the dining table, and held the knife and fork in his free hand. He didn't take it seriously when he heard this sentence, and replied casually: "I'm not at home."

"Didn't you go to dinner with Lin Yang and the others last night? Didn't you go home? Ji Congxiao, don't mess around like they did! Let me tell you, if Mr. Du finds out, aren't you afraid that he will get angry?"

An exasperated voice came from the phone, causing Sheng Huai to take a look.On the contrary, Ji Congxiao didn't take it seriously at all, slowly forked a piece of fruit into his mouth, and then replied: "Let's not say that I am staying at a friend's house, even if I just find someone to go out to open a room, it has nothing to do with Du Mingjing He is just my boss, and I have no obligation to report his whereabouts. As long as I don't make news, then how angry he is, what does it have to do with me?"

One sentence made Ye Zhuo choke back, can't he say that I still count on Du Mingjing to give you more resources for the sake of his liking you?

Ye Zhuo knew that he was wrong, so he made a vague sentence, changed the topic, and turned to the serious business.

"The talk of "Li Dai Tao Zombie" did not come to an end. The director clearly stated that you were not in his consideration at all, and the image did not match."

"Image?" Ji Congxiao was puzzled.Jiang Zhipei has always been an image of a skinny knight. Although he is not as strong as others, once the clothes are covered and the frame is braced, there is no difference.It's not that he is narcissistic, with his figure, most characters can hold it, but now... the image doesn't fit?

Ye Zhuo sighed over there: "It's not the appearance, Han Lue's original words are, how can Ji Congxiao, who is famous outside, reflect the deep affection of my family, Jiang Zhipei?"

"Cough!" Sheng Huai turned his head and pretended he didn't hear anything.

Ji Congxiao: "...Then how could he, who has never been in love, make a touching love scene?"

Up-and-coming director Han Lue has never been in a relationship so far. This was revealed by himself inadvertently when accepting the award.Because of this, he was ridiculed by the media for several days.But his emotional scenes are particularly delicate, and he is a remarkable figure in the circle.But Ji Congxiao knew well that the current statement was not a double standard.It's just an excuse to refuse. As for the real reason, it's nothing more than looking down on people like him.

Ye Zhuo couldn't help it either. When Han Lue called back early in the morning, he had already run out of good words, but the director was also firm, and he didn't let go, not even giving him a chance to audition.

"People obviously despise you." Ye Zhuo hit Ji Congxiao unceremoniously, and then said, "This movie is really good, I'll contact you to see it, if it doesn't work, I'll talk to Mr. Du."

"No need." Ji Congxiao frowned, even stopping his movements, "I'll pick other scripts, and I'll let you know when I'm sure."

"No, it's a pity to miss this book. He won't..."

Ye Zhuo's chattering voice stopped abruptly when he pressed the hang up button with his finger.

Ji Congxiao picked up the knife and fork again, and looking up inadvertently, he saw Sheng Huai had finished eating and was looking at him with his head propped up.He raised an eyebrow, returning a puzzled look.

"I have a question. Han..." Sheng Huai opened his mouth, the sound of the word was already in his throat, but he lingered on the tip of his tongue, but stopped it again.

Ji Congxiao ate his breakfast with his head down, didn't see his mouth shape, and said without raising his head, "Say it."

Sheng Huai smiled, and changed the sentence: "I can understand that you don't want my help, and you don't want Du Mingjing to intervene."

Ji Congxiao is unwilling to owe favors to others, which can be seen from the relationship these days.The script was originally the help he wanted to provide to Ji Congxiao, but after reading the script, this person turned to contact his agent, never thinking of taking advantage of him.It's the same for him, let alone for Du Mingjing who has a bad mind.This refusal is quite natural.

"But," he followed Ji Congxiao's words, "Although Han Lue has prejudice against you, he is not a person who doesn't know right from wrong. Why don't you try again?"

Sheng Huai's craftsmanship is good, even an ordinary breakfast is made delicious. After eating all the food on the plate, Ji Congxiao spread his hands and replied: "I don't intend to change other people's views of me. What's more, I It's not that there are no plays, why bother to stick to a script."

"Milk." Sheng Huai reminded, "You don't sound like a joke idiot."

Ji Congxiao took a sip of milk, feeling full and full.Hearing this sentence, he glanced at him suspiciously: "Who gave me such a name? And publicized it?"

In response to this person's enthusiasm and enthusiasm last night, Sheng Huai gave him this definition: "..."

"Although there is no shortage of plays, you may not be able to find the same wonderful script after you miss it. Aren't you worried that it will get worse and worse? A good actor can go to the next level only when he meets a good script." Sheng Huai resolutely ignored Ji Let's change the subject from Xiao's question.

Ji Congxiao didn't answer Sheng Huai's question because his stomach was full.Instead, he pressed his stomach subconsciously, put down the half glass of milk in his hand, and looked at Sheng Huai innocently: "I can't drink any more."

Sheng Huai laughed: "If you can't drink it, you can keep it. Who told you to hold on? Are you stupid?"

He packed up the dishes and turned into the kitchen.Ji Congxiao, who wanted to help but was rejected, leaned against the kitchen door, watched him roll up his shirt sleeves to wash the dishes, and then picked up the topic just now.

"I don't act for the sake of getting better. Acting is for me to enjoy. If I don't appreciate "Li Dai Tao Zombie", I will naturally have a director who is pleasing to me. At worst, I will go back to acting in TV dramas. I am not like you, for that trophy or glory."

"Then how do you know I'm here for the trophy or the glory?" Sheng Huai replied.

Ji Congxiao raised his eyebrows: "Isn't it?"

"With you as a special case, is it possible that you can have one more me?"

"All ears."

"Come to experience life."

Sheng Huai turned around and put the dishes back in their original places, and looked up at Ji Congxiao while turning around, with a smile in his voice.Someone stood aside and talked to him while working in the kitchen. This scene hadn't happened for many years.

Although the children are only visiting for one night right now, it doesn't feel bad.

Ji Congxiao twitched the corners of his lips, obviously not believing the answer, and followed Sheng Huai all the way from the kitchen to the yard.

"I didn't lie to you, life abroad is too ordinary." Sheng Huai collected the clothes, turned around and handed them to someone behind him, "I didn't have any plans to come back when I left, but after staying abroad for a few years, I always feel Life is less exciting, how can I put it—"

He looked at the gray sky, raised his arms to cover the light, and suddenly turned his head and chuckled.

"It's like this cloudy day, dull and calm, but also boring and dull. There is no wind and no waves."

Ji Congxiao looked at him without saying a word, and after a while he freed a hand to hold his forearm and lead him into the house.

"The weather forecast says it will rain heavily today."

Sheng Huai laughed and let him drag him away.

"I thought you'd say leave it on you, take me on a ride, promise to make my life wonderful."

"I'm sorry, but my own life is exactly what you said, dull and boring."

"Singing and singing every night is boring, and feasting and feasting are boring?"

"..."

……

"Li Dai Tao Zombie" was out of play, so Ji Congxiao had no choice but to continue to choose the script.After finally picking out another one that was slightly inferior, he planned to ask Ye Zhuo to contact him, but he couldn't get in touch.

He was fine, so he ran to Jing Huan's office to wait for him.

"Brother Ji, coffee." Gu Yangyang put a delicate ceramic cup on the coffee table.These few days, Ji Congxiao rested and gave her a vacation.Gu Yangyang thought about the options given by Ji Congxiao at home—whether to stay and be his confidant or directly start to become a manager.

She had been thinking about it for a few days, and she hadn't seen Ji Congxiao until now.

"Brother Ji, I have two requests."

"Huh?" Ji Congxiao was stunned for a while before realizing what Gu Yangyang said, "Say it."

"I don't do anything illegal or criminal!"

When the sound of righteous words came, Ji Congxiao let out a "pop" laugh, and he raised his lips: "I won't do it either. What else?"

"And..." The assistant girl seemed a little shy, her eyes flustered and she didn't dare to look at him, and she whispered after a while, "Can I raise my salary? Me, I want to save a down payment."

Ji Congxiao finally couldn't hold back his laughter, and he nodded after a while and said, "You take Jing Huan's collar, and I will double it for you personally."

For this result, he is quite satisfied.

In the beginning, he really wanted to send Gu Yangyang away, and wanted to find a new assistant to train him from scratch.But I have to say, Gu Yangyang's reaction is too suitable for him.What's more, the girl Gu Yangyang, besides not being very talkative, is very capable at work and understands him well enough.She chose to stay, which is naturally more suitable than a newcomer.

……

Ye Zhuo came back in a hurry when it was almost time for lunch. When he saw Ji Congxiao in the office, he was taken aback and asked suspiciously, "Did you hear the news?"

Ji Congxiao was at a loss.

Seeing that his expression did not seem to be fake, Ye Zhuo immediately knew that he wanted to go wrong.He patted the script in his hand to Ji Congxiao, with a smile on his face: "Han Lue personally called and asked you to audition."

Ji Congxiao frowned immediately when he heard this sentence: "Did you find Du Mingjing?"

Ye Zhuo paused, the smile on his face subsided, and his eyes were a bit wrong: "Don't worry about this, get ready for the audition, don't waste this opportunity."

Ji Congxiao lowered his eyes and didn't say much.

He had to think about how to get Ye Zhuo to give up the idea of ​​asking Du Mingjing for help in the future.

Of course, before that, he still had time to treat Du Mingjing to a meal and express his gratitude.Although he didn't want to see Du Mingjing very much recently, but it was his help, the matter was a foregone conclusion, and there was nothing he could do about it.
