rumor

In the cold spring of February, the streets of Fengcheng are full of bare trees that have lost their leaves, as well as tired humans who have resumed work after the Spring Festival.

In the evening, at the film and television base in the suburbs, Jiang Ruo took the crew’s boxed lunch and found a place not so crowded at the base of the wall. Regardless of whether the shredded potatoes were salty or bland, and whether the egg drop soup had eggs, he took apart the disposable chopsticks with a snap and mixed them together. The white rice is stuffed into the mouth.

Yesterday I filmed a big night scene, and in the morning I filmed a few backstage scenes with Group A. When the work was over, I was stopped by the scene manager, saying that there were not enough extras, so I asked him to make up the number.

Thinking that there are still scenes to be played in the future, and it’s okay to do a favor, Jiang Ruo followed everyone to the hotel under the contract of the crew, and got a set of suits that looked like they had been handled countless times but were of good texture, and put them on outside to blow the northwest wind .

It was agreed to finish in an hour, but the director was dissatisfied and took a few more shots, which was delayed for an afternoon.

At this moment, Jiang Ruo's teeth were still chattering up and down, and he couldn't bite into a mouthful of raw rice, and when he swallowed it mixed with soup, his esophagus was cut and hurt.

The extras who worked together just took a bite, threw the boxed lunch aside, and complained: "This is cold, how can I eat it?"

A group of people discussed going to a restaurant outside the film and television city to have a snack together, and asked Jiang Ruo if he wanted to go together, Jiang Ruo shook his head: "I'm in a hurry, I have to go to the city later."

Everyone didn't force it.Before leaving, he did not forget to tell Jiang Ruo to remember to call them the next time he has work, obviously he is regarded as the leader of the group.

Jiang Ruozi complied, but what he thought in his heart was, eat quickly, and if you don't eat, you won't have the strength to collect debts later.

It was already dark when I got on the last bus to the city.

Looking out from the window next door, Jiang Ruo saw crowds of actors squatting at the door waiting for the play.Night dramas are often more tiring than daytime dramas, and the salary is higher. If you are lucky, you can even have a supper for the crew.

If it weren't for the mission, Jiang Ruo might be squatting in it.After all, he also came from an extra. There is not much difference between acting as a driver and an extra. They both have no name and no surname, and they both earn money to eat and drink.

Thinking of last night that the hero thought he was too eye-catching and asked the stylist to put his high hair down to cover his face, Jiang Ruo realized that he was poked at the point of laughter.

The face reflected on the car window raised the corners of his lips, as if laughing at the male lead, who was dark in the middle of the night, and was not afraid of being led into the ditch by the driver who was not afraid of being blocked by his hair.

Jiang Ruo, who plays the male lead's driver in this play, doesn't have a few lines, but learns a lot of "upper class" rules from the crew.Standing at the entrance of the brightly lit hotel, he first arranged his clothes by the glamorous floor-to-ceiling windows, only then did he realize that he had brought the crew's suits on.

Take a call by the way.

Jiang Ruo's mobile phone has been used for two or three years, and it has been beaten and bumped a lot. A crack across the screen made the answer button not slide smoothly.

After finally picking it up, he heard An He's timid voice on the phone again, Jiang Ruo had one head and two big ones.

"I'm already at the door." Jiang Ruo's tone could not help but be forceful, "No matter what, I will seek justice for you today."

"Well, even if he is willing to give money..." An He on the other end of the phone was still weak, "It's not fair."

Jiang Ruo laughed: "Could it be that you want him to kneel down and apologize to you?"

An He was silent for a moment, then made a choice: "Then, that still needs money."

Before hanging up the phone, he reminded Jiang Ruo to pay attention to safety: "If he doesn't want to give it to him, forget it. Don't bother with him, just pretend that I... I was bitten by a dog."

Jiang Ruoxin said that the dog was cheap enough, and ran away after biting it, then opened the door and strode into the hotel.

Maybe it was because he was too imposing. When he told the front desk to find Zhang Shaoyuan in Room 1808, the waiter at the front desk hesitated for a moment, and finally picked up the phone and dialed it.

I don't know what was said on the other side. After hanging up the phone, the waiter showed a embarrassed expression: "Mr. Zhang said he didn't know you, so please—"

As soon as she started, Jiang Ruo knew what she was going to say next.

It's nothing more than a few words to deal with, telling people to go first, and make an appointment later.

Jiang Ruo had already figured out a countermeasure: "Tell him I'll wait downstairs, and I won't leave if I can't wait." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the hotel gate, and smiled, "Unless Mr. Zhang intends to condescend, no Go through the front door."

He did what he said, and after explaining, he walked to the rest area in the middle of the lobby and sat down on the sofa.A waiter came forward to pour tea, but Jiang Ruo didn't give in. Although the hot tea was bitter, it had the effect of dispelling the cold.

This time, even after drinking five cups, Jiang Ruo became sleepy and almost fell asleep.

Days of shooting had already exhausted him, and it was all about money that he was able to survive until now.

Jiang Ruo leaned against the soft back of the sofa and dozed off for a while.

His consciousness was still clear, and his eyes were only slightly squinted, so when he caught a distinctive figure, his eyelashes trembled, and he suddenly opened his eyes.

It was a man standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows in the southwest corner of the lobby. A lead gray overcoat made his back slender, falling in the noisy and dazzling neon lights, giving him a cool and lonely feeling.

In the world inside the glass, everything becomes quiet.

Jiang Ruo was stunned for a long time, until another person came, nodded and bowed and called the man away, then he came back to his senses.

Looking at the direction is going to the elevator.That's right, people who come to this kind of occasion are either to discuss business or to have fun, or else they are debtors like him. The worldly people don't have the character of being independent from the world.

At this moment, on the spiral staircase in the middle of the lobby, a slightly fat middle-aged man descended step by step, looking around, as if he was hiding from someone.

Jiang Ruo took out his phone and compared it with the photos, then immediately stood up and greeted her.

In the box on the second floor of Jinyuan, Xi Yufeng raised his hand and pushed away a glass of wine that was about to be delivered to his mouth.

The sound of the music is deafening, and the eardrums are buzzing.I have to attend the most disturbing occasions, and people invite me over and over again, and it is not easy to refuse repeatedly in the same circle.

The owner of this show likes to be vulgar, and the elegant room was filled with smog, and there were even scantily clad girls dancing on the stage.

Jumping to the exciting part, the only person in the field who didn't look there was Xi Yufeng.The girl sitting next to him saw his sullen face, without raising her eyelids, and retreated away tactfully.

He couldn't help staring at him again, because of this rare good skin.

The owner was terrified, thinking that Mr. Xi had a high vision and looked down on him, so he almost called for someone to change the batch.

He was stopped by Xi Yufeng.

He stood up, picked up the phone and waved it, indicating that there was a call to answer.

"Then you are busy first, you are busy first." The host smiled all over his face, "I just want them to bring a few bottles of good wine, and I will treat Mr. Xi to taste it when I come back."

The door closed with a "bang", the noise stopped abruptly, and Xi Yufeng exhaled the stale air that was pressing in his lungs.

Answering the phone was an excuse, he just wanted to find a place to be quiet.

He often comes to Jinyuan, Fengcheng is so big, people in the circle like to go here to have fun.

I come here frequently, and I feel like I belong to this ghost place in a trance.

He walked to a secluded corner, leaned his back against the wall and closed his eyes, and the mobile phone he was still holding vibrated.

Shi Mingxu sent a message saying that his wife came to the company just now.

Frowning slightly, Xi Yufeng simply dialed the phone: "What's she doing?"

"It depends on Herongsheng's project plan." Shi Mingxu stated, "But the project manager has already left work, so it's not considered."

"Where are father and Xi Wangchen?"

"Mr. Xi didn't come to the company today, and the second son didn't follow."

"En." Xi Yufeng responded, "If there is another time, let her watch."

Shi Mingxu was unusually anxious: "But we did the project, and the investment—"

"It's just a project." Although Xi Yufeng interrupted the other party, he was still unhurried, "If you ask you to give it to her, you will give it."

"But……"

"If I remember correctly, I hired you as an assistant and only made one request."

"..."

"Can not remember?"

"remember."

"tell me the story."

"Unconditionally obey the orders of the superior." Needless to say, Shi Mingxu on the other end consciously admitted his mistake, "I'm sorry, I just can't bear to hand over the results of everyone's hard work to others."

The project was discussed by Xi Yufeng, and he was no less than anyone else in terms of contribution.However, seeing that the ball was intercepted by others when he missed the goal, he was not unwilling, and only said: "There will be opportunities in the future."

They talked about some work matters, before hanging up the phone, Xi Yufeng said: "Don't call Xiao Yin Madam from now on."

"Then...how should I call it?" Shi Mingxu wanted to ask why, but because of the lightning strike just now, his words turned around.

Xi Yufeng also had no intention of explaining to him: "Call him by his first name."

As she spoke, a rare gloomy look appeared in her always calm eyes: "My mother, your aunt, deserves to be called madam."

"Xiao Yin is not worthy."

After hanging up the phone, Xi Yufeng touched the other side when he put the phone back into his trouser pocket, it was empty.

Thinking of throwing the cigarettes in the box, the wrinkles between the brows deepened a bit.

The displeasure didn't stay for a moment, and then he returned to his indifferent expression, as if nothing in this world could really affect his mood.

The most luxurious box in Jinyuan is unusually located on the second floor. There is a corridor outside the door, and a carved railing in front of it. Standing there, you can have a panoramic view of the lobby and the scenery outside the door.

He didn't want to stay at first, but after hearing a conversation from downstairs, Xi Yufeng stopped walking towards the box.

In the lobby, Jiang Ruo blocked Zhang Shaoyuan in the middle of the road: "Mr. Zhang, do you still remember me?"

Zhang Shaoyuan was guilty of being a thief, he didn't dare to look him in the eye, and bluffed: "Who are you? Get out of the way, don't block the way."

Seeing the person dodging to leave, Jiang Ruo predicted the direction of the other party's escape in time, and blocked his way with a side step: "You were screaming baby after baby on the bed last night, and today you turn your face and deny it?"

He didn't restrain his voice when he said this, which caused passers-by to look here frequently to explore the relationship between the two.

Zhang Shaoyuan panicked for a moment, and said in a bad tone: "Is there anything you can't say in private, it has to be in this kind of place..."

"I don't want to be in this kind of place either." Jiang Ruo shrugged, "But you slip away after eating, and you don't answer the phone because you have a lot of work, so I have to go there myself."

The words made Zhang Shaoyuan's face even uglier, and said, "What do you want?"

Until now, Jiang Ruo was sure that this guy didn't even remember An He's appearance, and he was fooled by his random nonsense.

Thinking of the blue and purple mottled scars on An He's body, Jiang Ruo's eyes turned cold, but the corners of his mouth still had a smile: "What can I do? I just want to get some reward from you."

"Leave a number, I'll call later—"

"Don't look back, let's end now."

Zhang Shaoyuan who was interrupted was very surprised, as if he didn't expect the person in front of him to be so shameless.Last night, a local film and television company held a bureau. At the banquet, he saw that the little boy was drunk and obedient, so he took him back to his room and treated him as a freeloader. It's so confusing.

Jiang Ruo was too lazy to care what he thought, and raised his finger to point to the bag under his arm: "Mr. Zhang is so rich, so it's not easy to draw a few for me?"

There is indeed a lot of cash in Zhang Shaoyuan's bag.Those like them who come out to play and are afraid that their wives at home will know will try their best to avoid leaving traces when they swipe their cards, and it is most convenient to use banknotes.

Jiang Ruo didn't do it for nothing: "If it doesn't go well, I don't mind taking some time to go to Mr. Zhang's house in person. I heard that Mr. Zhang has a harmonious family and a virtuous wife..."

Zhang Shaoyuan was still a little hesitant at first, but after hearing these threatening words, Dang even put down the bag and opened it, took out a few banknotes from inside, looked around to confirm that there were no acquaintances, and handed them over impatiently: "Take it, take it .”

Like dismissing beggars on the side of the road.

Jiang Ruo didn't care, took the money, counted it, and put on a embarrassed expression: "I thought that according to the performance last night, it would not be too much to ask for a car."

Zhang Shaoyuan's eyes widened in disbelief.

Afraid that he would really run to the house to make trouble, Zhang Shaoyuan hesitated for a moment, took out another stack: "Is that enough?"

After receiving the money, Jiang Ruo quickly counted it twice, and then smiled: "Boss Zhang is generous."

After the matter was settled, Zhang Shaoyuan had time to take a closer look at the person in front of him.It's weird at first glance, why is it better than last night?

Even in an ill-fitting suit, Jiang Ruo's outstanding appearance still makes it impossible to associate him with a habitual extortionist.

He has a pair of cat-like round eyes, but the corners of the eyes are slightly raised. At this moment, he is smiling with curved lips, and there is a bit of bright innocence in his slyness.

It made Zhang Shaoyuan want to mess with him again.

However, the other party didn't intend to give it a chance. After counting the money, he quickly put it into his pocket, leaving a sentence of "there will be no future", and he was about to leave.

The moment he turned his head, he raised his eyelids, seeing pure whiteness, Jiang Ruo was stunned for a moment, and then unexpectedly met a line of sight.

It's as cold as the white shirt, like the snow on the mountains that has been covered for years.

It's very clear, as if you can see through Jiang Ruogui's clothes at a glance, the real cheapness inside.

After taking off his coat, he looked even taller and taller, with his hands casually folded in the pockets of his suit trousers, giving him a kind of careless arrogance.

The fact is also the same, the man stands on the second floor, but it seems to be standing on the top of a distant mountain, which makes people levitate involuntarily.

As soon as his feet left the ground, he was dragged back to the ground by the flattering voice of the person beside him.

Zhang Shaoyuan smiled all over his face: "What a coincidence, Mr. Xi."

Jiang Ruo saw that the man nodded indistinctly, as if answering.

What followed was Zhang Shaoyuan's series of flattery and flattery, and Jiang Ruo's ears were not caught by Zhang Shaoyuan's next treat.

Jiang Ruo thought to himself, when did he stand here, and how much did he hear?

It wasn't until he saw that the person upstairs kept his thin lips slightly pursed, and his eyes were silent, that he suddenly woke up.

If the railings are iron sheets that cannot be pierced, then the air in between is reinforced concrete, completely dividing the upstairs and downstairs into two worlds.

Quickly putting away the meaningless mediocrity, Jiang Ruo raised her eyebrows and threw a provocative smile upstairs——

Are you self-proclaimed superiors, are you stupid enough to be deceived by me?

Maybe it was an illusion, Jiang Ruo saw a flash of contempt in the man's calm eyes.

It's not even a scrutiny, it's a fun to watch at best.

Walking to the door, Jiang Ruogui looked back in a strange way, and saw the man called "Master Xi" turn around and go to the most luxurious box in Jinyuan.

His back is tall and straight, but his posture is contemptuous, as if he is in Vanity Fair but stays out of it.

The sensor door opened, and the piercing wind came in, and Jiang Ruo, who was dressed thinly, shivered violently.

But he didn't covet the warmth of the room, but as soon as he went out, he plunged into the cold wave without looking back.

Anyway, there is no chance to come to this kind of place again.

It is impossible for people from the two worlds to intersect.
