rumor

On the way back to the car, when asked how the funeral was handled, Jiang Ruo said, "I'll just go back and send some money, otherwise I wouldn't be able to come back so soon."

This attitude, no matter how you look at it, doesn't look like a harmonious relationship with family members.Xi Yufeng didn't ask any other questions, just said: "If you need help..."

"Why do you want to help people all day long?" Jiang Ruo said with a smile, "You really look like a fool with a lot of money."

Xi Yufeng asked: "Who says I'm a fool with a lot of money?"

Jiang Ruo hurriedly covered his mouth: "It's not me, I just speculate about what the outside world thinks about your praise of me."

Xi and Feng said nothing about this.

After a while, Jiang Ruocai said, "It's really all right. I've got a few paychecks recently. I'm now out of poverty and well-off."

"Looking long-term, it's okay to be a little greedy." Xi Yufeng said, "I will earn more in the future."

Jiang Ruo readily accepted the big cake, and then sighed: "It makes me want to work in your company."

Xi and VC gave a questioning look.

"Working under a boss like you, you must be full of confidence and energy every day."

"..."

Back at Xi Yufeng's residence, Zheng Yiting just sent a message asking if there was time for a short meeting.

Five minutes later, the three-person audio conference started.Jiang Ruo and Xi Yufeng shared the same mic, and they sat too close to each other. Jiang Ruo couldn't stop teasing Xi Yufeng, pinching his fingers to play with, and sticking his feet out of the slippers to touch his calves, just restless.

So Xi Yufeng had no choice but to issue a warning, and said in a low voice: "Don't make trouble."

Zheng Yiting at the other end probably realized something, and said with a smile: "Why don't we talk about it tomorrow during the day, it's nothing important."

Xi Yufeng grabbed Jiang Ruo's fluttering hand and asked her to continue talking.

So Zheng Yiting summed it up in a long and short way. There are three main things, one is that Jiang Ruobao's acting training class will start next week, the other is that she has received an invitation from an online variety show, and the third is that she has a good movie script.

After hanging up the voice call, Jiang Ruo saved the address of the class, opened the electronic version of the script sent by Zheng Yiting, flipped through it for a while, and then remembered to ask Xi Yufeng: "Do you think I will go to the variety show that dates amateurs?" ?”

Xi Yufeng was about to take a bath, when he heard this, he gave him a sideways look, as if to say—you can figure it out.

Jiang Ruo immediately made a choice: "Dating is not as interesting as filming, don't go!"

The two of them didn't do anything that night, and lay down early to get sleepy.

Closing his eyes, letting the plot of the script he just read vividly reappear in his mind, Jiang Ruo let out a deep breath: "I'm going to decide on this role."

Before Xi Yufeng could speak, Jiang Ruo said first, "Don't interfere, let me fight for it myself."

Xi Yufeng did have the intention of adding more investment and directly stuffing people into the crew, he paused and asked, "So confident?"

"It's not self-confidence. I want to see how capable I am." Jiang Ruo said, turning her head to look at the people around her. "If I can't do it, Mr. Xi will do it again. Anyway, I can't invest in vain."

It is a fool not to go through the back door, and it is most shameful to waste resources.

Xi Yufeng laughed.

After a while of silence, Jiang Ruo asked nonchalantly, "Then what do you think of my performance?"

Without hesitation, Xi Yufeng said, "You are very talented."

"It may not be talent, it may be the accumulation of experience." Jiang Ruo turned back to look at the ceiling, "Sometimes I feel that I project too much subjective consciousness on the character, not like acting, but rather venting through the character."

"As long as it can be performed well, the method is not important." Xi Yufeng said.

Jiang Ruo laughed: "Hey, Xi Yufeng, do you know that you look like a special kind of person now?"

"What kind of person?"

"Like a parent with the filter of 'My treasure is the best'."

"..."

"But you are right, as long as you can act well, more people can see it."

"Ah."

"Even if I die, at the gate of heaven, I will grab everyone who goes in and ask them if they have seen my movie."

Although Xi Yufeng has to admit that sometimes he can't keep up with Jiang Ruo's thinking, but Jiang Ruo's desire for acting, he can feel very concretely from a few words.

So he reached out to hug him, and rubbed his chin against the top of his hair.

"Yeah." Xi Yufeng said, "Everyone wants to watch your movie."

It was clearly just a coaxing childlike echo, but it made Jiang Ruo tremble.

Perhaps because of a farewell, fragility is unavoidable, and the heart is so loose that it will fall off at the touch of a finger.

But he thought that there can be dominance and submission in their relationship, but there should be no such thing as warmth.

However, Jiang Ruo got too many of these things, so much that he wanted to break them and tear them apart.

I want to hold it firmly in the palm of my hand just like holding onto Xi Yufeng's lapel right now.

During the few days resting at home, Jiang Ruo asked Anhe to have dinner together.

Hearing the news of his mother's death, An He saw that he didn't express sadness, but was worried: "If you feel uncomfortable, just say it. The calmer you are, the more scared I will be."

An He knows something about Jiang Ruo's family.An He knew Jiang Ruo's character better, he was too strong, the sadder he was, the less it would show on his face.

Jiang Ruo laughed after hearing this: "It's okay, I've already figured it out, love or hate, can't change the fact that she is my mother. And she is already dead."

When I was young, I loved to ask the truth. When I grow up, no matter how many things I don’t understand, there is only one sentence left—forget it.

Perhaps this is the so-called maturity.

What Wu Ping was thinking, and whether she had regretted it during her lifetime, is no longer known.It was simply burned, and the ashes were scattered into the sea, swallowed by the waves, buried by time, no matter good or bad, beautiful or dirty, they will no longer exist.

Then I changed the subject to a more pleasant one.

The location this time was chosen by An He. It is said to be an Internet celebrity restaurant in Fengcheng, and they waited in line for more than an hour just to get their number.

Although Jiang Ruo didn't think the taste of the dishes here was much better than Sha County's snacks.

The drink is somewhat special, a glass of beautifully colored cocktail made Jiang Ruo taste the triple taste of coffee, tobacco and alcohol, especially the base spirit, which reminded him of the whiskey that Xi and Feng fed him by the pool that night .

Seeing that he was interested, An He took the initiative to say that a bartender in the bar where he worked before had built his own winery, and he could order good wine from him.

Jiang Ruo asked for the phone number and asked, "Does he support customization?"

"If you drink it over there, you should be able to adjust it on the spot. I'm afraid the finished wine is..."

"I mean, can you help with engraving on the bottle or something?"

"You want to give a gift?"

"Yeah, thank you for your cultivation, and I will continue to work hard next year."

"...don't tell me you're going to engrave this sentence on the wine bottle."

"That's not enough, I'll try to be as cryptic as possible."

An He observed for a while, couldn't help it, and said: "But I see your expression, it doesn't look like you are preparing a gift for the benefactor, but it looks like you are giving it to your boyfriend..."

"Really?" It gave Jiang Ruo a new way of thinking, "Then I might as well be honest, anyway, the choice is in his hands."

An He smacked the words and said in surprise, "You want to confess?"

Jiang Ruo raised his eyebrows half-truthfully: "It's not impossible."

In order to find out Xi Yufeng's drinking preferences, Jiang Ruo took advantage of Aunt Fang's delivery of food and asked her specifically.

However, Aunt Fang didn’t know much about alcohol, and only said that Xi Yufeng usually drank Scotch whiskey, because he had studied in England, and his classmates probably taught him badly.

Like all normal elders, Aunt Fang hated Xi Yufeng's habit of smoking and drinking. Speaking of this, she even wanted to win over Jiang Ruo and ask him to help him quit smoking.

"Xiao Jiang, you are sensible. I am not around him, so you help me to persuade him. Smoking is not a good thing. If you can smoke less, smoke less."

"I don't think he will listen to me. Last time I took away a pack of cigarettes, he turned around and opened a new one." Jiang Ruo spread his hands, "And I'm not really sensible... I think he smokes. He looks very handsome."

Aunt Fang hated iron for being weak: "Don't say that in front of him, otherwise he will smoke even harder."

Jiang Ruo laughed.

In short, before the acting training class started, Jiang Ruo ordered the wine to be sent to the banquet.

Scotch single malt whiskey, aged for 25 years, Jiang Ruo calculated that he was older than himself.

There was no stock at the winery, and they said it would arrive around Christmas. Fortunately, Jiang Ruo was not in a hurry, so he thought it would be a good New Year's gift.

On the way to the first day of class, Jiang Ruo relayed to Xi Yufeng what Aunt Fang told Xi Yufeng last time: "Aunt Fang said that the family is not peaceful recently, so whoso and her son drag the master to cry every day, and tell you to be careful." Be careful, beware of their ways."

After listening to Xi Yufeng, he glanced at him: "You and Aunt Fang get along well?"

There was something in the words, how could Jiang Ruo not hear it.

"...that's not the point." Jiang Ruo said angrily, "I shouldn't have asked anyway, I didn't ask a single word."

"Who said you asked nonsense?" Xi Yufeng's tone softened, "Tell her later that I have my own plans, so don't worry about me."

The training class that Zheng Yiting gave to Jiang Ruobao was set up by Fengcheng Film Academy, and the instructor is also a professor of the academy. There are two classes a week, half a day each time.

This kind of serious academic course is full of dry goods and consumes a lot of teachers, so it is not offered often.It is also because of the rarity that the places were sold out as soon as the admissions news was released.

Most of the applicants are artists who have become monks halfway, or newcomers who have changed careers in related industries.For example, Jiang Ruo, who turned from an idol to an actor, saw that the third male of the "Ying Fei" crew, that is, Su Yi, the underground boyfriend of the heroine Tang Jianian, was also among them.

The two didn't know each other well, they just nodded at each other through the crowd.

I didn't expect to meet a real acquaintance here.Being patted on the shoulder from behind, turning around to see it was Song Shiyun, Jiang Ruo said pleasantly, "Sister Song, why are you here?"

Song Shiyun is wearing a camel coat today, with a slim woolen skirt inside and a beret. She is playful and ladylike.

She put her bag on the empty seat next to Jiang Ruo, and sat down: "I said that art is not divided into families. The organization sent me to learn some camera performance techniques, and I will see if I can use them in our stage performances."

"Organizationally" refers to the Xinghui Dance Troupe.

Although Jiang Ruo is not afraid of strangers, he feels more at ease with someone he knows by his side.

After class in the morning, the two exchanged notes to check for omissions and filled in gaps, and jokingly called each other "senior sister" and "junior brother".

The two of them left the classroom together after class, Jiang Ruo took the opportunity to ask Song Shiyun: "Has anyone contacted you before to ask about my past?"

"No." Song Shiyun said, "If there is, I will definitely tell you."

It seems that Xi Yufeng only recorded the names of the insiders, and did not really contact them one by one.Jiang Ruo breathed a sigh of relief.

At the door, Song Shiyun asked Jiang Ruo where he was going, and Jiang Ruo pointed to the nanny car parked on the opposite side of the road: "There is a shooting in the afternoon."

Looking in the direction of his finger, Song Shiyun was a little surprised by the obviously expensive nanny car, and even more subtle emotions flashed in her eyes.

When looking at Jiang Ruo, he had already put on a smile: "I wanted to introduce you to the new dance troupe, but since you are so busy, you probably don't need it."

Song Shiyun said and waved her hands: "I'll take a taxi over there, see you in the next class, big star."

Watching Song Shiyun get into the taxi, Jiang Ruo turned around and walked towards the nanny's car.

To keep a low profile, Jiang Ruo had previously told the driver not to stop at the main entrance.Other artists also thought this way, so crossing the road and approaching, Jiang Ruo saw several cars parked beside this green belt, under the cover of the shade of the trees.

Coincidentally, the car that came to pick up Su Yi was parked behind Jiang Ruo's nanny car.

Jiang Ruo fell behind and saw Su Yi striding over and opened the car door.

Then he didn't get into the car immediately, but kissed a passionate kiss with the woman who leaned out of the car.

Because of the close distance, Jiang Ruo could see clearly that the woman was not Tang Jianian.

Sitting in the nanny's car, Jiang Ruo hesitated a few times while holding the phone, but decided to send the photos he just took to Tang Jianian.

Just a few days ago, Tang Jianian shared with him the birthday gift her boyfriend Su Yi gave her through WeChat, and said that she planned to propose to Su Yi in the New Year.

When asked if it would be too early, she said: "Fate is not easy to come by, so if you don't settle it quickly, I'm afraid he will be snatched away by others."

If it's fate or not, Jiang Ruo doesn't know, but being snatched away by others is a certainty.It is still the most despicable stepping on two boats, Tang Jianian is obviously still kept in the dark.

Thinking back to the car that Su Yi got in, Lin Xiao once told him that it was a special car for rich women, and the other party's family was probably better than Tang Jianian's.The worries of the crew of "Ying Fei" became a prophecy. Jiang Ruo felt that if he lost his job in the future, he could switch careers and set up a stall on the overpass for fortune-telling.

Thinking of Tang Jianian's undisguised love for Su Yi, and the scene of the two secretly kissing in the crew, even if Jiang Ruo made up his mind, he couldn't help but not bear it.

When he started, he hesitated for a while, but he was dazzled and chose the wrong person, and sent the photo to An He, who also had a cartoon avatar.

After reacting, Jiang Ruo broke out in a cold sweat, but fortunately, he found it in time, and An He probably didn't see it.

Unexpectedly, the turmoil broke out, and just as the photo was withdrawn, An He sent a question mark.

Jiang Ruo: ... Did you see it?

An He: Guess

Jiang Ruo: Just see what you see, it doesn’t matter if you are your own person, just don’t talk about it

An He: Everyone in their circle is like this, there is no concept of loyalty

These words came out of nowhere, and it was Jiang Ruo's turn to question slowly.

An He: I thought you knew before, after all, you signed an agreement with him, didn't you?

Jiang Ruo still doesn't understand: what do you mean?

An He: You can't see it, can you?In fact, I didn't see the face clearly, but I know this car, it belongs to Meng Lan

Without waiting for Jiang Ruo to ask, An He immediately said: Maybe you only know this person, but not his name?She is Meng Chao's younger sister and Xi Yufeng's fiancée
