Gourmet and actor

The branch manager got Han Xilin a scooter.Originally, he felt that the car was too narrow and he was not used to driving, so he asked the driver to drive.Today he left the office with a livid face, but he let the driver on standby leave, took the steering wheel himself, and drove towards his residence at a fast speed.

Along the way, Han Xilin's mood was ups and downs, anger, worry, fear... It seems that they can be described, but they are not enough to describe.

Those past events from Wanhua's mouth are only a few words, and the dialog box can't even fill the screen, but they have eroded Xiao Ke's life for at least ten years.How many decades can a person have in a lifetime?What's more, Xiao is an actor. He should have had the best and most splendid years, but because of this, he has nothing.

Han Xilin really wanted to kill Wen Siping.

This thought made Han Xilin startled.He clearly realized that this was definitely not an injustice between friends, nor a family-style humiliation, but something deeper—what was deeper?

While thinking, Han Xilin ran through another red light at a deserted intersection in the middle of the night, turned the corner and rushed straight to the gate of the community before suddenly stopping.

The sensor scanned the QR code posted on the car body, and the guardrail was raised to make way, but he did not continue to move forward, but focused on the small building hidden by tall trees.

The evergreen trees have experienced the severe cold of winter, and their color has become more and more green.But among the old dark blue branches, new ones were pulled out one after another.Silhouetted by the warm light shining through the panes, although the new leaves are as delicate as buds, they do exist and cannot be ignored.

Just like what was on his mind, although the thought just now was just a glimpse and secret, it became more and more real because of it.

It's not friends, not family, but it can make him care so much, be so anxious, and have the urge to hug and get close, then there is only a lover.

This long-lost word made Han Xilin's thoughts seldom confused.

He never imagined his future, only subconsciously felt that it was a step-by-step thing.He will marry a dignified and virtuous woman like others, and have one or two children to raise them up.Just as he returned to China after finishing his studies to take over the group, everything went so smoothly.

As for love, since it didn't appear in the most suitable student days, Han Xilin didn't think he could meet it in the intriguing business world.

He believes in love, but never expects that he can get it.

Now, God gave him an easter egg that could not be said to be a surprise or a fright.

But did he really fall in love with Xiao Ke?Or is it just a momentary impulse as a yearning for eternity in your bones?He's not sure.

Director Han Da, who has always looked at things with rational thinking, tried to compare samples, but was unable to draw conclusions due to insufficient data.

As for the few cases in the circle of friends, don't mention them.

Han Xilin, who was used to asking for results immediately, felt deeply melancholy.

While contemplating, the security guard in the sentry box finally couldn't hold his breath, wrapped his coat tightly, leaned in front of the car and said, "Sir, are you going in or out?"

"Advanced." Han Xilin thought, let's move forward, spend more time and work harder, and it will not be too late to make a conclusion.

Although after this little accident, Han Xilin calmed down a little.But when he confronted Xiao Ke directly and wanted to tell him all kinds of incidents, even Xiao Ke's ups and downs in these years were all caused by Wen Siping, but because of the memories, he fell into anger again, so that he didn't know where to start.

After deliberating for a while, Han Xilin still didn't know what to say so that Xiao Ke could accept it relatively calmly, at least not to be as angry or even sad like himself.That was Xiao Kezhen's real ten-year life, a time that no matter how whitewashed or rhetoric he can't get back.

In the end, Han Xilin only used the simplest words to tell the whole story from the beginning to the end in a plain and dry manner.

During the whole process, he kept observing the changes in Xiao Ke's expression.After talking about it, he even grabbed his arm tightly so that he could stop Xiao Ke in time when he lost control of his emotions.

But what he didn't expect was that Xiao Ke was very calm.He was silent for a moment after listening, and said, "I want to go out to take a breath."

"I'll accompany you." Han Xilin made up his mind never to let go.Xiao Ke was not even allowed to go to the balcony, and led him out of the door with half-pushing and half-pushing.

Seeing his excessive concern and nervousness, Xiao Ke felt a little helpless.

In fact, Han Xilin was too worried, he was not the real Xiao Ke, and naturally he would not be angry, hate, or even heartbroken for Wen Siping's scheming back then.He just wanted to find a quiet place, silently comfort the young man who died young, and tell him that he had found the culprit and would seek justice for him.

But now, one person's remembrance has become two people's discussion together.Walking in the quiet night forest of the community, Han Xilin, who is usually concise and concise, kept asking him what he planned to do next, as if he was afraid that he would have bad thoughts when his head was idle.

Xiao Ke had no choice but to tell him honestly, "When I had an accident, it was Wanhua who contacted my friend. In addition, Wen Siping has been watching my movements. Knowing that Director Xu intends to support me again, it is not surprising that he would do it directly. Adding up the points, I can already be sure that he killed me last time, so I don't think there is any need to spend any more effort to track it down. As for dealing with him—"

"If you don't mind, you can let me come." Han Xilin said.

Xiao Ke's reputation is getting bigger and bigger now, and his every move attracts attention.If bad rumors spread, it will definitely affect his career.It was hard for him to stand up again, Han Xilin would never allow this to happen.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Ke nodded, "Okay."

Although he knows that the modern law is strict and that killing must be paid with life, Xiao Ke still carries the imprint of his previous life in his bones, and only wants Wen Siping to pay his life back.He was afraid that he couldn't resist doing something illegal.And Han Xilin is a modern person, knows where the bottom line is, and is the only friend who knows about this matter, Xiao Ke is very relieved to leave it to him.

Thinking about Han Xilin's unkind expression tonight, he emphasized again: "But don't go too far, absolutely don't implicate yourself."

"Don't worry, I know how to measure." Han Xilin had already had a plan for this, and seeing that Xiao Ke was very calm, he also felt relieved.

However, after realizing his strange feelings for Xiao Ke, he thought of some little things because of that sentence, and couldn't help feeling a little dry.

Just at this time, Xiao Ke sneezed, and Han Xilin took the opportunity to pretend to be natural and took off his scarf and wrapped it around him: "You wear too little."

Taking advantage of this posture, he gave Xiao Ke a virtual hug.

The young man's black and soft hair brushed against his arms, and the faint scent of soap passed over his nose, making his heart flutter endlessly.

For adults, in addition to the spiritual world, there is also the attraction of hue.There is no doubt that Xiao Ke is very appetizing to him no matter his appearance or temperament.Accompanied by this thought, when he met Xiao Ke practicing kung fu that day, the narrow and thin curve of his waist, and the soft and elastic touch after that, came to his mind again.

This is really bad, Han Xilin thought.But the balance of a certain answer in my heart has added another weight to the sure end.

But Xiao Ke felt the soft fabric that was still warm on his neck, and wanted to thank him, but felt that it was too raw, so he said, "You haven't had supper yet, have you?"

"Yeah." It's not just supper, Han Xilin didn't even eat dinner because he was busy chasing Wanhua.I didn't feel that there was something in my heart before, but after being mentioned by Xiao Ke, I realized that my stomach was very empty.

Xiao Ke said: "There are vegetables left in the kitchen, I will cook a bowl of noodles for you."

"it is good."

The ordinary words made Han Xilin feel warm.He finally couldn't help it, put his arms around Xiao Ke's shoulders, and walked side by side to the only small building with lights in the night.

The bright moonlight dragged their shadows extremely long, and they gradually overlapped and merged into one.

※※※

Ever since he slapped himself and made a public statement acknowledging that he had speculated wildly and slandered Xiao Ke, Zhao Junlai's life on the set suddenly became extremely difficult.

Although he was generally popular in the past, he didn't see much in the entertainment industry, where people look up and down, where face is the most important.But as soon as the statement came out, although Director Xu didn't terminate the contract with him due to liquidated damages, his attitude became extremely cold from then on, and even a group of staff members changed their faces.

And the other actors, probably worried that he would be "randomly guessed" one day, kept him at a respectful distance, never said a word unless they had to, and usually used him as air.As for other people in the circle, although their faces cannot be seen for the time being, Zhao Junlai can be sure that they must have the same attitude.

As for the audience's attitude, Zhao Junlai didn't even want to watch it.After the statement was issued, there was a lot of scolding on his Weibo, and he was so depressed that he still dare not log in.Occasionally, I couldn't help but search my name with cheap hands, and all the news was full of cynicism, which made him angry but helpless.

Sitting in a difficult situation, Zhao Junlai had no choice but to repeatedly cheer himself up: Compared with being exposed to gambling and ruining his future by being sent to the bureau, the current small predicament is nothing.There are a lot of moths in the entertainment industry, and he has the cheek to endure it for a year or two, and when everyone forgets, he is a good guy.

But all kinds of comforting thoughts were shattered after receiving an anonymous email.

Judging from the tone of voice, this letter should be written for the mysterious person in Xiao Ke's early life.At first, Zhao Junlai thought that he was going to blackmail himself with the photos again, cursed a few times inwardly, and nervously opened the full text.But after reading a few lines, he really cursed: "So that's what happened! Wen Siping, you bastard, I can't spare you!"

The whole letter is concise and clear, filled with a lot of screenshot evidence, and the main points are marked with red circles.There are not many annotations, but the sentences are concise, and the hidden mysteries between the dialogues are succinctly sorted out.

After reading the whole article carefully, Zhao Jun came to know that his dissatisfaction with Xiao Ke was caused by Wen Siping's deliberate deliberation and calm provocation.If it wasn't for this brat's deliberate alienation, how could he make people in the industry shake their heads, resulting in the disappearance of the two film contracts that were being negotiated in an instant?

Zhao Jun came to hate more and more.Secret resentment towards Xiao Ke, dissatisfaction and resentment towards the mysterious man, aggrieved by external pressure... all kinds of negative emotions recently found a vent, and rushed towards Wen Siping overwhelmingly, secretly vowing that only Slapped and trampled the little brat before giving up.

Although he faintly realized that the mysterious person who sent this letter to him was just trying to stimulate him to do so, but for revenge, Zhao Junlai couldn't care less.

After so many years of ups and downs in the entertainment industry, his IQ is still online, but he is usually too careless.Once awakened, the power of action cannot be underestimated.

He started to arrange it secretly, and soon, an anonymous text message was sent to Wen Siping's mobile phone: "I know you are going to deal with Xiao Ke, I have his handle, and I can make him completely unable to turn around, and only sell for 50. If If you refuse to come, I will post what you have done these years on the Internet."

Upon receiving this news, Wen Siping was mixed with worry and joy.What worries him is that someone has dug out his deepest thoughts, and what makes him happy is that there may be a chance for Xiao Ke, who is getting better and better, to be trampled to death again.

Of course, he couldn't help doubting the authenticity of this text message.

But when he was hesitating, he had no intention of turning on the TV, but he saw that the entertainment news was reporting that since a certain old celebrity who went to the "Battle of the Mystery City" crew to guest star a week ago had tasted Xiao Ke's dishes and was full of praise, he would not be able to do it again. The big names who went to guest star all scrambled to get close to Xiao Ketao, and they also wanted to have a taste.

For a while, visiting Xiao Ke seemed to be a must-do homework for these giants participating in the show.Of course, they also know how to reciprocate.It is said that at the dinner table, Xiao Ke has already received new contracts for two TV dramas and one movie, not only for the first time, but also for cooperation with big names.

The host regarded this incident as a good talk in the entertainment industry, and shared it with the audience enthusiastically, but Wen Siping only felt irritable when he heard it.What the agent said to him back then seemed to be echoing in his ears again: You can't compare to him, you will never be able to compare to him, unless - let him pass.

Yes, only by letting him pass his anger can he have a chance!After finally making his way to fame, he never wants to be as unknown as he was back then, looking for opportunities with smiling faces everywhere!

Thinking of this, Wen Siping gritted his teeth and replied to the anonymous person: ok, but I will decide the meeting place.

It is taboo to buy black materials directly.Wen Siping wanted to make it perfect, so when the day of the appointment came, he didn't even dare to take his assistant with him, so he only asked his most trusted cousin to go with him an hour before telling him the location.

It was near a certain gas station on the highway outside the city.Wen Siping stayed here for two days when he was filming before. He knew that there was a lot of traffic and there were many forks in the road. In case of accidents, he could just escape.

Arriving there two hours earlier, Wen Siping carefully observed the surroundings, preparing to leave immediately if he found something wrong.But two hours later, the agreed black Audi drove into the rest area on time, and the man got out of the car generously and walked straight to him.

The cousin who was pretending to observe next to him gave Wen Siping a signal, which meant that there was no one in the car.

After receiving the signal, Wen Siping suddenly felt relieved: It seems that he is a chick who only wants money and does not want to cause trouble.he likes.

The well-dressed middle-aged man walked to the front of the car, glanced at Wen Siping, who was wearing a sunglasses mask and covered his face tightly through the half-rolled small window, and tentatively said, "Mr. ?”

Wen Siping nodded.

"Did you bring the money?"

Wen Siping opened the travel bag tied on the passenger seat, revealing bundles of pink banknotes, "Bring the things, and I'll untie the rope."

"Mr. Wen really keeps his word." The middle-aged man showed a smile and handed him the things in his palm: "I hope to cooperate often in the future."

Hearing this, Wen Siping sensed something was wrong: Didn't it mean that the black material was enough to make Xiao Ke unable to turn over? Why is there a next time?Could it be that this person is deceiving himself?

Staring at the USB flash drive in this man's hand, Wen Siping regretted not bringing a computer.He hesitated for a while, reached out to take it, and was about to find an Internet cafe to take a look first, but heard a loud shout in his ear: "Come out! Put your hands on the roof of the car! And you, squat down for me!"

Immediately, more than a dozen Wudongdong guns were aimed at them.

Wen Siping has also acted in gangster movies, and knows that this is the current way for the bureau to catch criminal suspects.But I just bought black material, and I didn't break the law at all, so how could I be ambushed?

He couldn't help shouting: "Comrade policeman, I was wronged!"

"Come down, if there is a grievance, go to the interrogation room and talk slowly!" The leader of the old police shouted.

Surrounded by more than a dozen policemen and police cars at the same time, the psychological pressure brought about is not ordinary.After only a few seconds of stalemate, big drops of sweat appeared on Wen Siping's forehead.Goodbye, someone in the opposite house was lying on the window looking in fear and curiosity, and thought that if there was a big trouble here and his identity was revealed, it would become a scandal instead, so it is better to go back to the scene and explain the matter clearly.Anyway, since I didn't do anything, they must have caught the wrong person.

Thinking of this, Wen Siping cooperated and got out of the car, and let the police escort him into the police car. The USB flash drive and 50 cash were also confiscated as evidence, and they were escorted to the police station along with the sirens.

Not long after the interrogation started, Wen Siping realized that he had made a huge mistake. The USB flash drive is not a black material video at all, but a running data of gambling activities carried out on the website of a certain gambling den in his name.

It shows that he played 50 games of Russian roulette in the last week, winning and losing. In the end, he owed the website a total of [-] yuan.And that middle-aged man was the debt collector hired by the gambling den, and at the same time captured two bodyguards at the scene.

Except for Wen Siping himself, in the eyes of others, this is a combination of stolen goods.He made an appointment with the gambling den, paid off the gambling debts, and asked for his unfavorable information back by the way.The cash and USB flash drives at the scene are all ironclad evidence.

Wen Siping was so frightened that he repeatedly cried out for innocence. He had lied and said that there were only ordinary files in the USB flash drive, but now he dared not hide it anymore.In order to clarify the relationship, not only took the initiative to hand over the text message to the police, but also tricked him into buying black material to kill his competitors.

However, his testimony and evidence are contradictory, and the IP address shown in the running water list, personal information used as verification data and collateral, real estate information, etc., all completely match his information, and he has been tracking this gambling den for several years. Naturally, the police will not be credulous.He was detained first according to the procedure, and the interrogation continued.

The popular young boy took part in illegal gambling and was arrested. The news spread like wildfire in the bureau, and for some reason even attracted reporters.

Although the official stated that they have no comment and the case is still under trial, this statement undoubtedly acquiesced in Wen Siping's arrest.

The people of the country have always asked public figures to be clean and clean, and pornography, gambling and drugs are absolutely forbidden.Overnight, this news quickly became the headlines of major websites, and condemnation was heard everywhere.Gossip posts were opened one after another, and Wen Siping's previous bad things such as plastic surgery, traveling with rich girls, and frequent trips to heaven and earth were also pointed out and reprimanded one by one, and he was stripped to the bottom.

However, his fans were eager to clear the truth for the master, saying that he was not brainless.What gambling is a normal way to relax, why does he work so hard, do you know why he is still a child, and so on. The classic jokes emerged one after another, which made many netizens who originally held the concept of reforming and being a good person completely turn black on Wen Siping.

If the online war of words only affected Wen Siping's reputation, then the offline breach of contract really affected his interests.

On the second day after the news came out, several books that had originally advertised that they would invite Wen Siping to participate in the show issued notices to choose another lead role.The crew that he is currently filming, stated that since the filming has just started, they would rather pay liquidated damages than cancel the contract and find a new lead actor.As for the films that have already been filmed, the producers discussed with sullen faces all night how to sell the drama so as not to lose money.

The few tissues, snacks and other endorsements in his hand even unilaterally announced the early termination of cooperation.

Within a few days, Wen Siping's reputation plummeted.

As for the case, because all the evidence was against him, there was only his oral statement for defense and denial, and no hard evidence could be produced.The only cousin who knew about it was a close relative, so his credibility was greatly reduced.

Fortunately, as long as they do not profit from it, those who participate in gambling will not be sentenced.In the end, after the police arrested the owner of the gambling den, Wen Siping, who participated in gambling and had a huge amount of gambling money, was detained for 3000 days and fined [-] yuan.

For ordinary people, this punishment is not too serious. Although it has a certain impact on life, it will not be to the point where it hurts the muscles and bones.But Wen Siping is a celebrity, a star, besides his acting skills, the most important thing is his reputation.

After leaving the detention center, he found that the world had changed completely. The people who greeted him with a smile before now rolled their eyes at him directly.The original good resources have long been divided up by other niches. In the past, he looked down upon the resources, but now he begged for them in every possible way, and they refused to let go of their promises.

The earth-shaking changes made Wen Siping go crazy trying to find out who framed him.Unable to identify the suspects, he simply questioned them one by one.Wan Hua, who stayed by his side the longest and knew the most black stuff about him, bore the brunt of the crime and became the number one suspect.

After being harassed by him for a few days, the annoyed Wanhua didn't stop doing anything. He simply revealed the list of all the people who had been hacked by Wen Siping in the past, and listed a long Weibo full of them. its number.

What is ridiculous is that besides Xiaosheng who is similar in age and is also a competitor, there are also actresses.According to Wanhua, the TV ratings of their starring role with Wen Siping were not good.In order to avoid the notoriety of being poisoned at the box office, Wen Siping preemptively blamed his poor acting skills and the fact that the audience did not pay for it to his partner.For similar reasons, there are also many directors, screenwriters, and even lighting photographers.

People are floating in the rivers and lakes, where can they not be knifed.The entertainment industry is indispensable for drafts, open and hidden arrows.However, Wen Siping was the only one who hit such a wide range and caused such unreasonable disturbances.

As for the part related to Xiao Ke, because Han Xilin intervened secretly, not a single word of it leaked out.He didn't want to reduce Wen Siping's charges, but he was afraid that Xiao Ke would be involved in the vortex of right and wrong, bringing up sad memories and affecting his mood, so he suppressed everything.

If gambling is just a matter of personal misconduct, Wen Siping's actions have stung the nerves of all the stars.After the list came out, half of the stars in the entertainment industry expressed their opinions one after another, boycotting such behavior, as well as Wen Siping himself.

This time, Wen Siping was completely useless, but it also became more and more convinced that Wanhua framed him, and Suo Huai took revenge to the end.After tossing for a few more days, the news that he tried to kill someone suddenly came out again.

Although Wanhua was only slightly injured, it still constituted a crime.Last time Wen Siping was only sentenced to detention, but this time he will actually spend several years in prison.

It was only then that Wen Siping, who was in a state of madness, woke up and regretted it, but it was too late.Hearing that the higher-ups ordered the case to be judged severely in order to set an example, he still wanted to find a way out, but his former acquaintances had long since become enemies, and if he didn't get into trouble, he would be nostalgic, and he would not help him find a way.

In desperation, Wen Siping had no choice but to contact an old friend whom he thought he would die forever: his first manager, Sister Lou.

Sister Lou is the boss of a well-known artist agency in China, as well as a well-known gold broker.She is in her early forties this year, with a lot of resources in her hands, good vision, and many artists under her banner, so she will always have something to do with her, so she won't run out of space.However, her percentage is extremely high. With this income alone, her annual income is almost comparable to that of first-line stars.

Wen Siping was squeezed by her for eight full years, and [-]% of the hard-earned salary went to her.When the contract was terminated, it felt like a slave had turned himself into a master. The two had a big fight and scolded all kinds of ugly words.

If he could, he didn't want to bow his head to this woman at all, but in the current situation, he couldn't find anyone else who could help.And he has a handle in his hand, which may be useful.

Feeling extremely unwilling, Wen Siping dialed the number the lawyer had found.

But unexpectedly, she just said "It's me", and the sister Lou, who recognized his voice, laughed sarcastically: "I said who it was, it turned out to be Wen Daxing. You are about to go to prison to experience life. You are not in a hurry to say goodbye to your relatives and friends, what are you calling me for? Are you so downcast that only I, the enemy, can say a few words?"

This was the last straw. Wen Siping originally planned to lower his stance and discuss it carefully, but when he heard this, he became angry and threatened: "Don't think about it when I go in! Don't forget what you did to Xiao Ke back then , he is in trouble now, I will tell him immediately if I am in a hurry, he will settle accounts with you sooner or later!"

Sister Lou let out a "ha" and asked aggressively: "What can you say to him? What do you want to say to him? I just said that children are weaker than adults. What is this? It's not even slander. .But what you did, if he finds out, he might find someone to play hide-and-seek with you in prison."

"It's not like you remember that clearly? And that's not what you said. You said, 'It's easier to break a child than an adult, just blow your self-confidence, but I don't have the time to help you'." Smell Si Ping said viciously, "You are instigating me! How old was I then? If you hadn't mentioned this matter again and again, I wouldn't have been obsessed with saying those things to Xiao Ke!"

"Where's the evidence?" Sister Lou, who has a big family and a big business, has gone through many storms, and she doesn't take the threat of a quasi-prisoner seriously, "Show evidence, you are welcome to go through the legal process, and sue me as a tainted witness for Xiao Ke. If there is no evidence, you should wash up and sleep as soon as possible, the bed in the prison is much harder than that in the detention center, you can enjoy it for a moment."

After all, she didn't bother to talk any more, and directly pulled the number into the blacklist.

Just as she was about to continue with her official duties, she thought about Xiao Ke's popularity recently. The box office of the movies he made was almost one billion less. The current TV series are also produced by famous directors. The future may be really limitless, so she couldn't help but take him under her command idea.So he ordered the secretary to find his number, and called him himself.

Hearing the busy tone from the other end of the phone, Wen Siping thumped the table angrily, and said to the lawyer under the unkind eyes of the prison guard: "Send a text message to Xiao Ke, write like this..."

Thousands of miles away, under the urging of Han's father, Xiao Ke cut off the call from an unfamiliar number and prepared to interview the chef.

After more than a month of preparation, the restaurant in city b has started to be renovated, and the matter of recruiting and training chefs is also on the agenda.The one who came today, according to Han's father, is a well-known restaurant chef who has cooked for the Han family's New Year's Eve dinner for several years. Now he is willing to switch to his new restaurant unconditionally, so naturally he can't miss it.

In Father Han's original words, it is "Tune well. If you teach me, maybe you can become a pillar. When you are filming in the future, you will rely on him to make arrangements in the restaurant."
