When koi wears cannon fodder

After accepting Wu Xiaojun's invitation, Jing Li didn't delay any longer, sent a message to talk to Gu Tingshen, and then got up and went out.

When they arrived at the entrance of the hotel, Wu Xiaojun and his party were already waiting there. Wu Xiaojun was talking to Zhang Shuo with a smile, while Wang Lele stood by and listened silently. The smile on his face was also faint, and he didn't seem too enthusiastic about it. look.

Jingli knew that Wang Lele didn't agree with some of Wu Xiaojun's ways of doing things, and he had mentioned it to him before, so he wasn't too surprised by this, and didn't plan to intervene more.

And from the moment he met Wang Lele, he knew what kind of temperament the other party was, so he always respected the other party's behavior style, as long as there was no big bias, letting him handle it by himself would make him grow better.

"Jingli~!" Wang Lele saw him first, the smile on his face widened instantly, and he raised his hand and waved at him.

The other people also raised their eyes when they heard his voice, and when they saw Jing Li, they also showed big smiles.

Wu Xiaojun is also looking at Jingli, but compared to others, his perception of Jingli is quite complicated.

In the beginning, he was indeed rushing to climb up the high branch of Jingli to please him. After all, it is too difficult to get ahead in this circle without relying on any background and relying on his bare hands.

But in the process of getting along with Jingli day by day, facing such a handsome face every day, feeling the gentleman's gentleness under the other's beautiful appearance, and seeing his sincerity and sincerity towards his friends...

All these things made him unable to help but be attracted to them, and thus he really developed a liking for them, which made his deliberate approach a little more sincere.

That's why he paid close attention to Jing Li's emotions, and because of his love for a bouquet of flowers, he asked people everywhere to order it at any cost, and he wanted to pursue it with sincerity.

But he never thought that he would be one step too late, let alone that Jing Li would be with Gu Tingshen.

That's why he was so resentful and unwilling when he saw it that day.

But no matter how unwilling he was, he could only swallow it silently. Neither Jing Li nor Gu Tingshen could afford to offend a small person like him.

That's why when someone finds him and asks him to get acquainted with Jingli on the condition that he will be popular with unlimited resources, he will agree without hesitation.

And this gathering is the result of his planning.

But now seeing Jingli walking towards them with a smile, Wu Xiaojun suddenly felt guilty and uneasy.

He was indeed moved by the resources promised to him by the other party, but it was also because the other party's request was only for him to find a way to connect with Jing Li at first.

As the second youngest of the Jing family, and also close to the Gu family, there are many people who want to connect with Jingli, no matter whether it is inside or outside the circle, so he didn't think much about it before.

But after getting in touch with the other party later on, coupled with the more urgent attitude of the first time than the first time, he faintly felt that this matter might not be just for getting to know Jing Li.

But he has come to this point, no matter whether it is for the benefit or because of the identity and background of the other person, he can't dare to repent and betray, so he can only follow the instructions of the other party and go down step by step.

However, he didn't want to put Jingli in trouble because of him, not only because he was worried, but also because of fear.

What's more, that day he accidentally broke Jing Li and Gu Tingshen's relationship, even if he clarified that he really had no intention of harming Jing Li, no one would believe it.

"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Jing Li didn't seem to notice his entanglement, and greeted everyone with a gentle smile when he arrived.

"No, we've just arrived not long ago." Wu Xiaojun replied with a smile on his face, suddenly he didn't dare to look him in the eyes, and slightly staggered his eyes and said, "The car is already waiting outside, so let's go there now?"

Naturally, the others had no objections, so they all walked out the door in response.

Wu Xiaojun walked at the end, looking at the backs of Jingli, Wang Lele and Zhang Shuo talking and laughing, he couldn't bear the uneasiness in his heart after all, he hesitated for a while and said, "Teacher Jing, I have a few words to say to you alone, Can you wait a moment?"

The three people in front looked back at him when they heard the sound, paused, Jing Li nodded, and then said to the two people around him, "Then you two go to the car first."

Wang Lele and Wang Lele glanced at him, nodded in response and left first.

Jing Li and Wu Xiaojun were left in place.

Jing Li walked back a few steps and stood in front of Wu Xiaojun, waiting for him to speak.

But after waiting for a while and seeing no reaction from him, he couldn't help asking, "Didn't you say you have something to tell me? What's the matter?"

Jing Li's words were gentle, not like asking, but with a touch of concern, which moved Wu Xiaojun's already guilty heart a little more, and the already wobbling balance in his heart instantly tilted towards Jing Li.

"I..." Wu Xiaojun opened his mouth, and finally said, "I heard that you have accepted a role in another movie, and it seems to be filmed here in the film and television city?"

"I didn't expect the news to spread so fast."

Jing Li was stunned, apparently he didn't expect that what he was going to say was this, but it wasn't a secret that he couldn't tell, so he still smiled on his face, "It's true that he took on a role, and it's not far from our crew, but I don't have many roles, so it should be over in a day or two."

After finishing speaking, seeing Wu Xiaojun drooping his eyes and pursing his lips without saying a word, Jingli thought he was lost, thought for a while, then patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "It was also a temporary call, otherwise I can understand more Find out if there are other suitable roles."

"But it's okay, if there is a chance in the future, I will pay attention to it for you."

What Jingli said was natural, but Wu Xiaojun was taken aback when he heard it, he had no idea that Jingli would consider him for him, and the grievance in his heart surged even more.

If only I had known...

"That's not what I mean." Wu Xiaojun sniffed, held back the sourness in his nasal cavity, and said bravely, "Movies are no better than TV dramas. Movies have a faster pace, and they also pay more attention to real interests. The competition is stronger, and the circle is relatively tighter." complex."

He looked up at Jingli, pursed his lips and said, "Anyway, you should pay more attention to yourself."

There was only so much that could be said, Wu Xiaojun didn't dare to really betray the person who came to him, so he could only gently remind Jingli to pay attention.

After finishing speaking, he took a breath, and took one last look at Jingli, "I'm done talking, I'll wait for you in the car first."

As he spoke, he nodded sharply at Jingli, then quickly turned around and left first.

Jing Li stood on the spot, watching his back in a hurry, and frowned unconsciously.

He could hear Wu Xiaojun's concern for him, but what he said didn't seem to be just a kind reminder, it seemed to reveal something else.

But with just a few ambiguous words, he really didn't have a clue. In the end, he could only temporarily suppress his doubts in his heart, and decided to look at it later.

Thinking of this, Jingli quickly followed.

The others had already been waiting in the car, Wu Xiaojun got into the car one step ahead of him, and was sitting in the middle right now, when he saw him open the car door, he just smiled and called him, and his face returned to his usual appearance , as if everything just now was just his illusion.

Jing Li looked at him calmly, then got into the car and sat next to him.

The group set off to the restaurant that Wu Xiaojun had reserved.

Because it was someone else's treat, so Jing Li didn't bring his little assistant along. He just asked him to find what he wanted to eat at the hotel and order it himself. In the private gathering, only the three of them were called, and they all went alone. Now including Wu Xiaojun, his two assistants and his manager, there were only seven people in total.

It happened to fill up Wu Xiaojun's business car.

However, because they hadn't had much contact with Wu Xiaojun's manager and assistant, the two parties just nodded and greeted politely with smiles and didn't say much. In the car, Wu Xiaojun was mostly chatting with Jingli and the three of them.

So all the way to the restaurant.

Coincidentally, this restaurant is exactly the private restaurant where Jingli and Gu Tingshen were photographed by the paparazzi before, but this time Wu Xiaojun reserved a box on the back side, and the window is facing a big river, which is completely avoided. possibility of being photographed.

"I checked before, and the one near the film and television city has the best secrecy work, and the food tastes good, so I ordered it here."

Wu Xiaojun said something to everyone with a smile, and then smiled at Jingli, who seemed unintentional, "I also saw Teacher Jing post a photo of eating here before, and it made people very greedy, so I always wanted to come here Taste it yourself."

These words seemed random, but they flattered Jingli invisibly. One was to express that he often followed Jingli's Weibo, and the other was to agree with Jingli's level of food appreciation.

After all, Jingli still had the previous doubts in his heart, so upon hearing this, he just smiled and didn't say anything.

Wang Lele just glanced at him when he heard the words, but also didn't say anything.

Others laughed and followed suit, among them, they didn't hear any twists and turns after entering the circle, and because Zhang Shuo, who admired Jingli in his heart, was the most, almost as soon as Wu Xiaojun finished speaking, he put on a serious face He nodded and said, "Angkor's words really touched my heart! Brother Jing's greedy level is really unbelievable!"

"Every time I see those photos he posted, it makes me drool. The worst part is, every time he posts a blog, it's either during meal time or late at night! It makes me drooling at the pictures and screaming at the same time. Enduring hunger and dieting to keep fit! Whoever tastes it will know!"

As Zhang Shuo spoke, he seemed to recall his tragic situation at that time, and the expression on his face was extraordinarily rich, coupled with his subconscious swallowing of saliva, instantly caused everyone in the room to burst into laughter.

Even Wang Lele couldn't help being amused by him, "It's the first time I've seen someone who can make excuses for being greedy and describe it as fresh and refined!"

"Then now that you've upgraded, you don't need to be greedy for pictures anymore, you can directly be greedy for the scene!" Jing Li also teased him with a smile.

"Hahahahaha, you should eat more at that time! Angkor is enough tonight!" Wu Xiaojun responded with a smile.

After the words fell, everyone burst into laughter again.

After talking and laughing, the atmosphere in the room instantly became alive again.

As the initiator of this party, Wu Xiaojun enthusiastically invited everyone to take a seat, and then informed the waiter that the dishes could start.

"I don't know what you like, so I just watched and ordered some dishes. If you have something you want to eat later, you can continue to order. Don't be polite." Wu Xiaojun greeted everyone with a smile, and then said, "If you want Would you like some wine?"

"Someone brought a bottle of red wine in front of me to wake up, thinking that it's rare to come out to relax, let's drink in moderation?"

After finishing speaking, Wu Xiaojun looked at Jingli again, and said with a smile, "But Teacher Jing still has a play tomorrow morning, if you don't want to drink, I also ordered two freshly squeezed, you can try it later."

His discriminating treatment of these words was too obvious, but because of Jing Li's status, the others didn't say much even if they knew it in their hearts, but echoed it with a smile.

It was Jingli, who clearly heard something different.

Just like what the other party said in the hotel before, there seemed to be something else besides caring for him.

Jing Li even had a feeling that the other party was not actually afraid that he would delay the next day's scene, but that he was simply afraid that he would get drunk.

The feeling of doubt before became more obvious, and Jingli raised his eyes to glance at Wu Xiaojun again, but he didn't respond.

"It doesn't matter if I drink less." Jingli said with a smile, "But everyone should control it. Not everyone has a scene to shoot tomorrow afternoon, so don't affect your state."

Seeing what he said, Wu Xiaojun pursed his lips and looked at him, but he didn't say anything else, he responded with a smile, then asked the waiter to bring up the sober red wine, and poured it for everyone on the table himself.

Then he took the lead in toasting everyone present.

The others naturally toasted and drank with him in a face-saving way.

After putting down the cup, all the dishes on the table were served, Wu Xiaojun greeted everyone to eat, and stood up again holding the wine cup.

"I would like to pay respects to Mr. Jing alone for this cup," Wu Xiaojun said with a sincere smile, "Thank you Mr. Jing for helping and taking care of me on the set, which has benefited me a lot."

Jing Li glanced at him, smiled and toasted and stood up.

"Mr. Jing, just sit down."

Wu Xiaojun hurriedly greeted him, but Jing Li still stood up. Seeing that the dissuasion was fruitless, Wu Xiaojun didn't stop him. He continued what he had just said, "Mr. Jing, you may not know, but I really like you very much all the time."

When he said this, Wu Xiaojun looked straight into Jingli's eyes, his tone was very serious, he was taking the opportunity to express his feelings, and the look in his eyes was a little complicated for a while.

But it was limited to this, he didn't dare to reveal too much, and quickly added, "Whether it's Mr. Jing's dedication in acting or the gentle gentleman in his daily life, I think there are many places worth visiting. study."

"I also know that I actually have a lot of deficiencies, and I also have a lot of bad things. I hope Teacher Jing can forgive me a lot."

What he said was sincere, and the others really only thought that he was expressing their admiration and did not doubt it.

But only Wu Xiaojun knows that these words are not just a confession, but also a confession of his own heart. disappointment.

Facing his venting of emotions and his obvious behavior of showing favor, Jing Li was also very touched.

It wasn't because he was moved, but because he had an intuition that Wu Xiaojun's words seemed to mean something. Coupled with all the previous things, Jingli could vaguely feel that Wu Xiaojun really wanted to convey something to him, but because of some scruples in his heart, , so I dare not be too explicit.

But with such a specious attitude, Jingli was a little confused about his intentions for a while, which made him even more suspicious of Wu Xiaojun's behavior, and even began to doubt the other party's purpose for organizing this party.

But before there is no conclusive evidence, all this is just his speculation.

Therefore, even though he was vigilant, in order not to startle the snake, Jing Li still had a calm expression on his face, pretending that he didn't know anything.

"No one is born perfect, but those who strive for their dreams and goals should be respected." Jing Li thought for a while, and said, "Even if there are flaws and shortcomings, it is because of the understanding of oneself and the improvement of oneself during growth. Good push."

"And I think you've done a good job." With that said, Jing Li raised his glass to Wu Xiaojun and signaled, "May you have a bright future."

People who strive for their dreams and goals should be respected...

So can it be forgiven even occasionally regardless of the cost?

Wu Xiaojun was stunned for a moment, thinking for a moment that he had realized something, and when he looked up again, he breathed a sigh of relief and smiled happily, "Thank you, Teacher Jing."

"I'll finish this cup, you can do whatever you want."

After saying that, Wu Xiaojun raised his head and drank the wine.

Jingli also took a sip with a smile.

Then sit down.

Wu Xiaojun was about to speak again, when suddenly he heard his cell phone ring.

He said sorry to everyone, then took out his phone and glanced at it.

Jing Li saw that his hand holding the mobile phone tightened for a moment, and he seemed to glance towards him from the corner of the eye, but before he could see clearly, he saw that the other party had already got up and went out of the box to answer the call.

Jing Li followed suit and withdrew his gaze.

After a while, Wu Xiaojun came in from the door, looking at the three of Jingli with a little embarrassment on his face, "Sorry everyone, that, I have a friend who said he came to the film and television city and wanted to come over to catch up with me, do you mind Are you alone?"

As he said that, before anyone could speak, he added, "I'm also from the circle, and I happened to be here to shoot a movie."

After a pause, he looked at Jingli, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I also heard that Teacher Jing is here, so I wanted to come over and get acquainted with you first."

Hearing that he deliberately mentioned Jingli, everyone who was still thinking about it looked at Jingli at the same time.

Jing Li also raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Me?"

"Yes, it happened that you and I both played the role in "Xiantu", that is Zhang Weixi who played the male second."

Jing Li thought about it for a while, and it seemed that there was indeed such a person, and seeing that everyone said so, he couldn't say much.

And he had an intuition that all of Wu Xiaojun's anomalies tonight and the purpose of this party might be paving the way for this person's arrival.

And he has never been a person who likes to escape, since he is being targeted, there is no reason why he should not disappear.

So he smiled and said he was okay.

On the contrary, Wang Lele frowned and glanced at Jing Li, and after receiving Jing Li's soothing gaze, he didn't speak.

Everyone else said that when they saw Jingli, so naturally they didn't have anything to say.

Wu Xiaojun smiled and apologized again, and while calling the waiter to add a chair, he took out his phone as a gesture to call the person over there and left the box.

Since someone was coming, the people at the table naturally couldn't move their chopsticks, and the others simply chatted.

Fortunately, the people who were coming were very fast, and they arrived in just over ten minutes.

Waiting for Wu Xiaojun to push open the door of the box again, there was another person behind him.

With an apologetic smile on Wu Xiaojun's face, while apologizing to everyone, he turned to the side so that the person behind him could be fully presented in front of everyone, and then took the initiative to introduce the other party's name.

Zhang Weixi's face often appeared in front of the screen, and his reputation was not low. Even if the people present were not familiar with it, they had seen it before, so they all greeted him with a smile.

Wu Xiaojun led Zhang Weixi to sit down, and introduced everyone present to him.

As the person with the highest status here, Jing Li was naturally the first to be introduced.

In the face of Jingli, Zhang Weixi's attitude is also the most enthusiastic, and it can even be said that the enthusiasm is a bit too much.

"Teacher Jing, I have admired your name for a long time!" Zhang Weixi smiled and stretched out his hands to him sincerely, as if he couldn't wait to shake hands with him.

Jing Li didn't stretch out his hand, instead he made a fist with one hand, folded the other hand on it and shook him up and down as a return gift, with a gentle smile on his face, he said, "My side is far away, so I don't need to bother to stretch it over. You are welcome, and I hope we will have a pleasant cooperation in the future.”

Everything he said and did seemed normal, as if he didn't see anything unusual, let alone the thick black mist around the other party, especially the hands that wrapped it.

Zhang Weixi on the opposite side looked at his expression quietly for a few seconds, but didn't notice anything wrong, and then smiled and said it's okay, and then followed Wu Xiaojun's introduction to look at other people.

But Jingli could clearly see that with his withdrawn hand, the originally dense black mist instantly faded away, and finally even the black mist around his body was gathered, leaving only a small piece on top of his head.

It was also because of this that he saw that Zhang Weixi's head was not only surrounded by black mist, but also wrapped in a layer of pure but thin aura, but the two sides were incompatible, repelling and devouring each other.

But after a while, the spiritual energy was melted by the thick black mist and became a little thinner.

Jing Li lowered his eyes to hide the expression in his eyes, but he became more vigilant towards the person in front of him in his heart.
