Pleasant wood into forest

After it rained, there was a pleasant smell of green grass in the air. Xia Wei ran a few kilometers along the park, sweating all over.

When he got home, there was a message on his mobile phone. When he opened it, it was a text message informing him to take the third round of re-examination.He glanced briefly and turned it off with a lack of interest.After a while, I opened it again, opened the address book, and kept my finger on a newly added line.

This number is not unfamiliar, and it can even be said that he is familiar with it. On a rainy night a few years ago, he had dialed this number countless times in despair, but... Xia Wei suddenly closed his eyes, pinched his fingers whitish.

Some people really can't think about it.

Through continuous self-suggestion, a person can subtly change a lot: preferences, conversation, personality... and there are always others, no matter how hard he tries, he can't do anything.For example, diseases engraved in genes, for example, those secretive memories hidden deep in the brain.

The third round of re-examination was arranged in the indoor studio of Guangxin Building. Xia Wei deliberately arrived half an hour earlier, but he didn't expect someone to come earlier than him.

"Morning." The person who spoke was a tall handsome guy, who had already changed his clothes and was sitting on a chair with his hair styled by a stylist. When he saw Xia Wei coming in, he greeted him friendly.

Strictly speaking, Xia Wei has never had such close contact with real actors. Like most ordinary people, he always feels that this industry is flashy. .

"Morning, my name is Xia Wei."

"Yu Liu." Simple and clear.

The two looked at each other from a distance, and both saw each other in the other's eyes.

Even Xia Wei, who has been in love with someone for several years and has become numb to the word "handsome", has to admit that this person is good-looking, with clear and correct features, and a three-dimensional and vigorous outline. Such a face should be photogenic. will look great.

"What is your injury...?" Yu Liu's eyes fell on Xia Wei's bruise.

"There was an accident two days ago."

Presumably, the last accident was more or less out of the wind, Yu Liu understood, and stopped her curiosity in a timely manner, nodded and smiled: "Be careful."

Xia Wei nodded: "Thank you."

Soon, the people who came to participate in the re-examination arrived one after another. Most of them were eliminated in the second round, and there were less than 20 people who actually entered the third round. Among them, there were men and women with different styles.

Compared with the professionalism of the second round of interviews, this time it was much more casual. Anyone who knows the industry can tell that the candidates have basically been decided, and the next step is to find the role positioning and choose the best among the same roles.

Xia Wei was pushed into a clothing room, and a staff member asked him to choose clothes based on his understanding of the role, ask a stylist to do his hair, and come out to take pictures.

"This is too perfunctory." Xia Wei had just entered the door when he heard a person who was also pushed in complain.

"Hey, are you here for the audition too? What's your name?" someone asked behind.

Xia Wei turned around: "Xia Wei."

"My name is Guan Qingxi." Guan Qingxi smiled and reached out to him.

Xia Wei stretched out his hand in mid-air, looked up for a moment, this person was probably still a student, with a pleasing tender face and a big grin, he looked defenseless, he was completely different from Yu Liu's handsome guy Type, he is more like a younger brother, looking very protective.

Xia Wei glanced at the end of his eyes, and couldn't help frowning.

"What role are you running for?" Guan Qingxi didn't care about his reaction, she stuck herself into the movable clothes hanger, reached out and hooked up a suit, "Does this white shirt suit me?"

"Which role do you want to try?" Xia Wei asked.

"Actor, Lin Mu."

Xia Wei turned his head and looked at him without speaking for a long time.

"What's wrong?" Guan Qingxi was puzzled, and smiled, "Ah, maybe you are too?"

Xia Wei: "Don't laugh."

After all, Guan Qingxi studied acting. Seeing Xia Wei's serious face, he immediately put away his smile, and put on a face: "Is this so?"

Xia Wei stared at him for a while, then rummaged through the hangers for a while, picked out a black racerback vest and handed it to him: "I suggest you audition for another male lead, Yang Li."

"Ah? Why?" Guan Qingxi went in without knowing.

Xia Wei obviously didn't want to explain more, avoided his gaze, buried his head in the hanger to look at the clothes.

After Guan Qingxi went out muttering, Xia Wei's shoulders relaxed, and he pinched the center of his brows.

All the people who came to participate in the re-examination this time were newcomers, only Yu Liu played a supporting role in a popular TV series not long ago, so he was considered a little popular.I heard from a troubled stylist around me that Yu Liu is actually the one Guangxin is promoting this time, and the others are just foils.

Regarding these remarks, most people were skeptical, and a few people scoffed. This did not dampen the enthusiasm of the reserve actors.Everyone knows that the director this time is Mo Sen. Even if he is not highly praised, being able to show his face in the movie will be of great benefit to his future development, and no one will neglect it.

The audition lasted until the evening, Xia Wei was a little tired, and came out after changing into the last set of clothes, when the assistant director came in and clapped his hands, saying that an investor had a banquet in a nearby hotel and invited them all to dinner.

"Xia Wei, Xia Wei!" Guan Qingxi walked over from nowhere, tugging at Xia Wei's sleeve excitedly, "The director praised me just now, and I heard that Yang Li's character is considering using me."

Xia Wei was thinking about the banquet, and responded lightly: "Is that so, congratulations."

"Hey, you are really my lucky star. You are younger than me. I'll call you brother."

Only then did Xia Wei say "Huh?", and said with a smile, "You should call me Brother Xia, I'm definitely better than you... Uh, I mean, I should have more social experience than you."

"That's ok, Brother Xia, let's sit together later? I don't hold a lot of alcohol, so I guess I'll drink tonight."

Xia Wei seriously thought about the issue of drinking capacity for a while. In the past, he would not be afraid. When he first came out of the society, he had practiced the ability to drink a thousand glasses without getting drunk, but now...he has never used this tool. The body has drunk.

When they heard that they were going to meet investors, several actresses had already changed back into their clothes and began to touch up their makeup. Even Yu Liu went to the dressing room to get her hair done.

"Brother Xia, are you going to wear this black shirt?" Guan Qingxi looks tender, and she doesn't seem to worry about her appearance at all.

"I was wondering if I could not go." Xia Wei said truthfully.

Guan Qingxi was dumbfounded: "You are not afraid of offending investors."

"It's not this problem, I..." Xia Wei said while thinking, logically speaking, Yang Yizun should be busy with another matter these two days, and he doesn't have time to pay attention to the audition, but what if...

Before the words were finished, Xia Wei swallowed the words in his heart. It was really "just in case", his eyes darkened.

"Look, it's Boss Yang."

Yang Yizun and his female companion came in from the entrance, and the first thing they saw in the studio was Xia Wei in a black shirt. At that moment, he was a little dazed.

There were many people at the scene, and the director was afraid of the heat, so he turned on several big fans.Yang Yizun walked straight in the hot wind, and went back to more than ten years ago in a trance.In my impression, that person is always wearing a black shirt, eyes downcast, two buttons on the neckline all the year round, cigarettes in his long fingers, and when he smiles, his eyes are slightly curved, which is indescribably charming.

"Mr. Yang."

Guan Qingxi's reserved voice sounded, Xia Wei looked up and saw Yang Yizun standing in front of them.

"Is it better?" Yang Yizun asked, his eyes swept over his neck, in fact, there was a thick layer of concealer there, and it was already hard to see.

Only two parties involved in this sentence know what it means.The eyes of the surroundings instantly focused on Xia Wei, which had all kinds of meanings.

"Yeah." Xia Wei's forehead was sweating, he didn't know if it was from the heat or what.

"Yizun, Uncle Yang is urging." The female companion next to him said softly, holding Yang Yizun's arm.

Yang Yizun only looked at Xia Wei, and responded in a deep voice, calling out to the director next to him: "The seat next to me will be vacant in a while, and I will leave it to him."

As soon as the words came out, people around started whispering, only Xia Wei clenched his hands.

Seeing that Xia Wei didn't answer, Guan Qingxi patted his arm and urged him softly, "Speak up."

"Sorry, I can't—"

"Ah yes! My Brother Xia doesn't talk too much," Guan Qingxi interrupted him quickly when he saw this, and came out to smooth things over, "Thank you, Mr. Yang, for your appreciation. I'll take him to the backstage to change clothes, and he'll be here soon."

"No need," Yang Yizun tilted his head, his naked eyes swept over Xia Wei, "Just wear this."

After Yang Yizun made a tour and finally left, Guan Qingxi surrounded him and said excitedly, "Brother Xia, so you know Mr. Yang?"

Shaking his head, Xia Wei said with a headache, "It's hard to say."

Yang Yizun washed his hands and came out, Dou Wanfei handed him a handkerchief: "Uncle Yang said he would leave after seeing you, and he won't eat."

"Has he been to the Chengxi Cemetery recently?" Yang Yizun asked irrelevantly.

"He hasn't been out for a long time," Dou Wanfei said, "Why do you ask this? Do you doubt Uncle Yang?"

"There's no one here, so you can call me another name." Yang Yizun wiped his hands and threw the embroidered handkerchief into the trash.

"Hmph, what's your opinion on Lao Yang? After all, he is your family."

Yang Yizun sneered, pushed the door open and went in.

Everyone knows that he is the head of Guangxin, but what no one knows is that before his father died, he did not hand over the family business to him, but to his own brother.Guangxin's current actual controller is not him, but his fourth uncle - Yang Guangmiao.To those in the know, he was just a vase for decoration, and his biological father's distrust slapped him hard on the issue of inheritance.

The bodyguard closed the door, searched Yang Yizun, and allowed him to go after taking away his mobile phone.

In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, an old man was sitting in a wheelchair with an old bible in his hand.

When Yang Guangmiao was in his 30s, he had an accident and fell into a pond in the garden. He was frightened and went mad all the time.Later, he was sent abroad by Yang Guangxin for treatment. Although his sanity improved after he came back, his personality became extremely weird, and he lived in seclusion all the year round, so not many people had seen him.

Three years ago, Yang Yizun's father passed away, and after the control of the company was handed over to this lunatic, he recovered miraculously and became radiant. Guangxin even developed better than before when Yang Guangxin was in power.Everyone in the outside world thought that Yang Yizun was born out of blue, but in fact that was not the case at all.

"If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter eternal life without a hand or a foot than to have two hands and two feet and be thrown into eternal fire. If you have one If your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter into eternal life with one eye than to be thrown into the fire of hell with two eyes..."

"Fourth Uncle." Yang Yizun walked over and bowed slightly.

"Where is your child?" Yang Guangmiao tapped his finger on the armrest of the wheelchair.

Dou Wanfei walked over and helped him cover the blanket: "You are confused, he has no children."

Yang Guangmiao's cloudy eyes fixed on Yang Yizun, his gaze was sharp: "Have you changed your mind?"

Yang Yizun looked at him indifferently, without answering.

"Wan Fei."

"Hey."

"Pour him a cup of tea."

Dou Wanfei glanced at Yang Yizun, took a clean white porcelain cup on the tea table, lifted the teapot and poured a cup.I don't know if it's hot, but Dou Wanfei's fingers visibly trembled when she lifted the pot.

As expected of someone who has been with Yang Guangmiao for more than a year, she quickly stabilized, put down the teapot with the same expression, and offered Yang Yizun with both hands.

"Let's go after drinking." Yang Guangmiao waved his hand weakly and said, "Remember to bring your child to see me."

Dou Wanfei wiped her hands with a hot towel, and pushed the wheelchair to the back room without panting.

Yang Yizun stood on the spot, pinching his fingers lightly, the cup was full of glistening blood, and even a little finger with nails was floating in the blood foam.

The banquet was set in a private room, with a large round table for 30 people. Without glasses, it was impossible to see who was sitting opposite, which eased Xia Wei's anxiety a little.

After sitting down, I realized that someone was missing, and Yu Liu didn't come.

"I just saw him go downstairs with a woman." Guan Qingxi whispered.

Several people around heard these words, Xia Wei glanced at Guan Qingxi: "Don't talk too much."

Guan Qingxi shut her mouth resentfully.

Yang Yizun came late after all the dishes were served, and his female companion disappeared.Xia Wei sensitively noticed that his complexion was not very good, a trace of uneasiness flashed in his heart, and he wanted to run subconsciously, but was held back by Guan Qingxi: "What are you doing?"

Xia Wei opened his mouth and found that there was no way to explain it. Who didn't know that General Manager Yang was born with a cooling air field with a radius of 800 meters. Anyone who saw him had a bad face. I'm afraid only Xia Wei could get it from his face. The face of the refrigerator can tell whether it is frozen or refrigerated today.

"I've been waiting for a long time," Yang Yizun took off his coat, grabbed his wine glass and poured a full one first, "I'll make a toast myself first, I wish you all a bright future."

Several investors immediately reacted, laughing and laughing together, the atmosphere was immediately stirred up by the big guys, and they started toasting each other. The young actors were obviously very good, scrambling to join in.

In contrast, Xia Wei looked like a stranger, sitting quietly next to Yang Yizun without moving - it wasn't that he didn't want to move, but that Yang Yizun held him down under the table the moment he got up to toast.

In the private room, cups were being exchanged, laughter and noise kept coming and going, but Xia Wei couldn't be happy at all. He smelled the alcohol smell from Yang Yizun's body, and turned his head to look at him.

Yang Yizun was thinner than he remembered, his facial features hadn't changed much, his outline was more mature, and the childishness of the past could no longer be seen on his face. He probably didn't rest much these days, and his chin was slightly stubbled. In order to see a hint of vicissitudes of life.

The hot soup turned around on the revolving table, and Xia Wei scooped a spoonful into Yang Yizun's bowl: "You drink too much, drink some soup."

Yang Yizun is not good at drinking, one drink is his limit, and he hasn't made much progress after so many years. Xia Wei knows that when others look sober, they are probably already drunk.

Obviously, Yang Yizun didn't think so, and gave Xia Wei a prawn: "The sea prawns brought in by air are the best to eat at this time."

"Thank you Mr. Yang, I... don't like to eat this."

"Why don't you like it? It's very difficult to order shrimp, and you're not allergic. Try it." Yang Yizun urged, even smiling.

Xia Wei was completely stunned: "How do you know I'm not allergic?"

"When you were in a coma last week, I asked the doctor to check your allergies."

This is also the truth after drinking. Yang Yizun probably wouldn't have said it in a sober state. Xia Wei thought about it for a while and carefully asked, "What else did you check?"

"Blood type," Yang Yizun said, rubbing his eyes, "I wanted to do a DNA test, but... the doctor said, the two of you have different blood types, so there's no need to check it. How could it be different? You're so similar."

Saying that, as if he was depressed, he lowered his head and drank the soup that Xia Wei gave him.

Xia Wei's hands were clenched immediately, and he asked, "Who am I like?"

Yang Yizun was stopped by the question, and suddenly turned his head, staring at Xia Wei like a prey, narrowing his eyes: "Why don't you eat?"

"..."

Xia Wei had no choice but to pick up the half-baked prawn and start peeling it slowly. He wanted to take the opportunity to say something, but Yang Yizun seemed to have set up defenses against him again. The shrimp was eaten.
