I'm not human anymore
Chapter 23
The ingredients prepared today are limited, so Lin Jiu decided to suspend business at noon. With the only ingredients, he made six large bowls of paella, one each for Mr. Song, Secretary Jin, Mr. Xu, Si Xu and Wenqin. Lin Jiu also had one for himself. one serving.
Hearing that he also had a paella, Uncle Xu quickly declined. A large paella cost nearly 4000 yuan. He had never eaten such an expensive meal, and he was reluctant to eat it and dared not eat it.
"Today's ingredients are all wasted. I can only make up six servings of paella. Don't refuse, Mr. Xu. Try my cooking."
Unable to withstand Lin Jiu's warm invitation, Uncle Xu gritted his teeth and decided to try such an expensive paella. What is so delicious about it?
The small shop was closed and there was no one else in the shop. Si Xu didn't go to the private room and ate in the lobby with other people.They came here often and got to know each other well, so they didn't ask Lin Jiu to deliver the meal, they brought seafood rice and fresh shrimp soup to eat by themselves.
Lin Jiu took his share and sat across from Uncle Xu. He wanted to sit across from God Si, but there was Wen Qin opposite God Si, and he was also afraid that he would be attracted by God's handsome face and forget to eat, that would be too embarrassing up.
Lin Jiu took off the mask and asked Uncle Xu to try it.
Uncle Xu stared at Lin Jiu's face and looked again and again, feeling that the young man was very good-looking, so he responded repeatedly, and took a bite like Lin Jiu, and after just one bite, Uncle Xu's whole body brightened.
"It's delicious, very delicious!" Uncle Xu didn't know how to express his feelings, so he could only say "delicious".
He had lived a mediocre life and had no pursuit of food, but he was completely conquered by a paella. He didn't know if all the food was like this. It was so delicious that he felt comfortable physically and mentally after one bite. He decided to eat it every month. If you want to eat once, you don't need a large portion, small and medium portions are fine, as long as you can taste the taste.
He didn't expect that at such an advanced age, there would be a day when he would be greedy.
Uncle Xu ate very carefully, chewing slowly, trying to remember this delicacy firmly, even so, a large portion of paella soon bottomed out.Uncle Xu ate the last grain of rice, took a sip from the soup cup, and was amazed again. He finished the soup carefully, and the two magic sea red mushrooms were also eaten, and then he put down the soup cup in satisfaction.
Uncle Xu ate very full, his whole body was exhausted, and he was so comfortable that he wished he could go out for a couple of laps.
Uncle Xu stood up, "I'll go back and get the money."
Lin Jiu hurriedly said, "No, I'll treat you to this meal, thank you for today."
"That won't work, I have to give money, not counting your craft money, just rice and seafood need money, so I can't let you lose money." Uncle Xu insisted on going back to get the money, but Lin Jiu was determined not to.
"It's really not necessary. I caught the seafood myself, and there is no such thing as a loss."
Uncle Xu was very stubborn, and Lin Jiu was also very persistent. The two stalemate until the end, and agreed that the next time Uncle Xu came to eat, he would definitely charge the original price, so Uncle Xu gave up.
Witnessing the whole process of the stalemate between Lin Jiu and Uncle Xu, Si Xu didn't have to pay this time, so Lin Jiu invited him.
Mr. Song stood up leaning on his cane, and said with a smile, "Boss, the seafood here is really good. Look, I was only able to sit in a wheelchair yesterday, but today I have the strength to stand up."
Lin Jiu put on the mask again, "At your age, you really need to eat more seafood like this."
"I also think we should eat more. I want to be the highest-ranking customer in your store." Mr. Song is very ambitious.
Si Xu smiled, "Grandpa, you may have to wait behind me."
Mr. Song stared, "Don't be complacent, when I have time, I will bring those old friends to spend, and see if I can surpass you."
Si Xu just smiled and said nothing, thinking that if you have old friends, I will have no friends?
Lin Jiu sent them out, watched them leave, and then came back to clean up.
As soon as Si Xu left the magic fish shop, his expression turned cold, "Check out what activities this Mi Youyou has been up to lately."
"I've already checked. Mi Youyou has a reality show in her hand. The fourth episode of "Escape from a Deserted Island" will start shooting in three days. After the reality show is over, she will join the crew of "Legend of Xi Ji."
Si Xu was surprised, "She has a role in "The Legend of Xie Ji"?"
"The Legend of Xie Ji" is a large-scale ancient costume drama, directed by the famous director Zhu Chou, starring Hua Xian after the film, this drama has already started casting, the momentum is huge, there are many popular actors and veteran actors, Zhu Director Chou has high requirements for actors, so it's hard to imagine how he chose Mi Youyou, a newcomer.
"A small supporting role, only a few episodes, "Legend of Xie Ji" cost a lot of money, director Zhu Chou is also a person who likes to pursue details, so the money was too high, Guangshi Entertainment took the opportunity to spend money on a small supporting role, and sent Mi Youyou away. went in."
Even if it is a small role, as long as Mi Youyou participates in the role, there will be a lot of talk after that. In addition to cooperating with director Zhu Chou, even if "Legend of Xie Ji" is bound to become popular, then the participating actors will also become popular.
Si Xu said: "Contact the reality show team to replace Mi Youyou, then contact director Zhu Chou and tell him that Huasheng will invest more and ask him to replace Mi Youyou."
In addition to being an artist of Huasheng, Si Xu is also a major shareholder of Huasheng. Few people know about his shareholder status.
Wen Qin paused, "Mi Youyou is the newcomer that Guangshi Entertainment is promoting this year, you may directly offend Guangshi if you cut off her future like this."
Si Xu Leng sneered, "Are there still few conflicts between Huasheng and Guangshi? He wants to praise the newcomer, and Huasheng also wants to praise the newcomer. Unfortunately, he happened to attack the newcomer Mi Youyou."
Wen Qin: "..."
You are also really well-intentioned.
Wen Qin said: "Then who is going to replace it?"
Si Xu thought for a while, "Let the company choose a potential newcomer to play "The Legend of Xie Ji". As for the reality show..."
Si Xu hesitated a little, turned around and glanced at the magic fish shop.
Si Xu has watched the show "Escape from Deserted Island", but it was the first season, and he hasn't watched the second season yet. In the first season, the program crew threw the guests on a desert island and asked them to find their own way to escape from the desert. island.The program team will put escape supplies and food in various locations on the island, and the guests can get them as long as they pass the test. There are many situations and jokes inside.
The ratings of the first season are very good and the popularity is very high, so the second season is highly anticipated. Otherwise, Guangshi would not use his relationship to stuff Mi Youyou in. If Lin Jiu is willing to participate, rely on this reality show to wash it off Black material is not out of the question.
Thinking of this, Si Xu turned around and went back to the magic fish shop.
Wen Qin: "..."
Lin Jiu had already cleaned up the store, and just about to open the door to go out, the store door was pulled open from the outside.
Lin Jiu was taken aback, "You...why are you back again?"
"I need you." Si Xu and Wen Qin entered the door.
Si Xu cut to the chase, "Do you still want to return to the entertainment industry?"
Lin Jiu was stunned, lowered his eyes, and covered them with long eyelashes, hiding the emotions in them.
Even if he got to the [-]th line, he was still known by the Si God, and how much did the Si God know?Does he still remember what happened back then?He probably didn't remember, otherwise even if the seafood here could help him, he wouldn't talk to him, after all, that incident had a great negative impact on Si Xu.
Si Xu said: "There is a reality show, and there is a lack of a guest, are you interested in participating?"
Lin Jiu shook his head, "I have been hidden by the company, and the company will not allow me to participate in the program."
"Don't think about the company, do you want to participate?" As long as Lin Jiu thinks, he can help negotiate with Chuangxing.
Lin Jiu still shook his head, "I just want to open the shop safely and securely."
Si Xu saw his discouragement, "If you are unhappy in Chuangxing, you can come to Huasheng. You don't have to worry about the termination of the contract. Huasheng will solve it for you. Do you want to come?"
If it was in the past, Lin Jiu would definitely agree without hesitation. Being able to stay in the same company as Sishen was something he dreamed of, but now he can't, he can't sing anymore. It is inherently charming and may cause harm to humans.
Apart from singing, he has no other talents. He doesn't want to be a vase in the entertainment circle. Instead of that, he might as well quit the entertainment circle. He is saving money. When he has enough money, he will propose to terminate the contract with Chuangxing and leave the entertainment circle completely. .
"Thank you, but no need, I don't have the value to be tapped by Huasheng."
The liquidated damages for the long-term contract he signed with Chuangxing back then must be astronomical. If Huasheng really came to poach him, he would not be able to help Huasheng earn so much money back. Huasheng is not doing charity, how could he agree?
Even with Si God's mediation, Lin Jiu didn't want to owe such a big favor, he was afraid that he would not be able to pay it back.
Wen Qin said: "You have a good voice and good looks. As long as the team can keep up, it will not be difficult to become popular."
Wen Qin glanced at Si Xu, and said, "With Si Xu's connections and resources, it's hard for you not to be popular."
Si Xu is a shining golden thigh in the entertainment circle, and people who can't reach him all want to climb him, and the popularity of various poses is not uncommon.Wen Qin is confident that no one will be tempted by such a golden thigh in front of him.
However, that accident happened to Lin Jiu. Wen Qin jumped repeatedly in Lin Jiu's minefield. He couldn't sing, and his appearance was useless. At most, he was ridiculed as a "vase".
There really is no room for him in the entertainment industry.
"Thank you for your kindness, it's really unnecessary."
Lin Jiu's refusal, in Wen Qin's eyes, was heartbroken. He was completely disappointed in the entertainment industry.
Wen Qin wanted to persuade a few more words, not all entertainment companies are like Chuangxing, but Si Xu cut off the conversation, "Are you going to quit the entertainment industry?"
Lin Jiu didn't tell anyone about quitting the entertainment circle, "I have this idea."
Si Xu understood. When he saw the layout of the private room, he vaguely guessed that Lin Jiu might be tired of life in the entertainment industry. It seems that his guess was right, he really wanted to leave the entertainment industry.
Si Xu didn't try to persuade him anymore, Lin Jiu's personality was cold, and he was indeed not suitable for this circle.
"If you have any difficulties, you can tell me, I will help you, anything is fine."
Lin Jiu stared at him blankly, his cold heart was wrapped in warmth, except for the grandfather who raised him, no one else would tell him so sure that he would help him no matter what.
Hearing that he also had a paella, Uncle Xu quickly declined. A large paella cost nearly 4000 yuan. He had never eaten such an expensive meal, and he was reluctant to eat it and dared not eat it.
"Today's ingredients are all wasted. I can only make up six servings of paella. Don't refuse, Mr. Xu. Try my cooking."
