Chapter 95 Overnight(1/2)
As the National Day holiday approached, Xu Rong formally proposed the idea of staying at Xiao Zhang's house for two months.
Not only was Xiao Zhang confused, but his parents, who were far away in his hometown in Northeast China, were also completely confused.
Why do you want to come and stay at home so suddenly?
They didn't know they were living together.
And we stayed there for two months, which was too long.
Xiao Zhang's father has been a little uneasy since he heard the news. He has a feeling that the real big test is coming.
In this exam, they were not testing Xu Rong, but Xu Rong was testing them.
Matching up with each other has been a traditional custom for two thousand years. It is not out of etiquette, but the needs of real life.
From the usual phone calls with his daughter, he has gradually realized this problem. For example, a set of Xu Rong's cosmetics costs tens of thousands, and learning dubbing from others can cost a few million in a month. For them, these require years of accumulation.
Xu Rong has even become accustomed to his wealth.
Even the shoes he usually buys for his daughter usually cost a few thousand. Perhaps in Xu Rong's view, the money is really not much, because he earns far more than he spends.
His daughter has not yet left school and has no clear concept about money, but his heart always sinks every time he hears such news.
His first impression of Xu Rong was that of a poor student who had to work as a tutor to earn living expenses, so he was quite shocked when he paid 10 million to buy a house.
But not long after, he gradually realized that Xu Rong was starting to get farther and farther away from them.
As the middle-level leader of the unit, he knows very well that wealth is directly proportional to hierarchy.
Concepts such as hierarchy and class are despised and shameless by contemporary positive concepts. However, some people want to play billiards, so they buy a cue worth tens of thousands of yuan and play with them.
Yes, there is no way he would be someone with a twenty-dollar stick and just messing around.
Especially the gossip about a colleague at work a while ago made him feel worried just thinking about it.
That colleague was in the same grade as him, from a middle-class family, with only one daughter, and had been dating a boy from a better family background for three years in college.
Not long ago, the boy came to our house for the first time, and his colleague invited a whole bunch of people to the house for dinner to build up his prestige.
With so many people sitting together, they would inevitably puff up smoke. The boy didn't smoke, so he suggested putting out the cigarette.
My colleague was not happy, but he didn't have any trouble. He just asked someone to wash the dishes after dinner.
test!
Although your family's conditions are good, we don't care. If you dare to bully my daughter, you will look good on me.
The boy didn't say anything at that time, he just smiled and washed the dishes, but because he didn't wash them very well, he was scolded a few more times.
The boy has never been in the kitchen since he was a child. Not only him, he has never even seen his parents enter the kitchen.
After leaving, the boy broke up with his colleague's daughter directly and deleted her contact information.
As soon as he heard this, he understood that his colleague had mistaken the identities of the examiner and the examinee. Washing dishes was not a big deal, but it was enough to give people a basic judgment on family tradition.
For a boy, if he gives up his colleague's daughter, it will be too easy for him to meet a girl who is better in all aspects. However, for the colleague's daughter, the boy may be the best person she can meet in her life.
The family backgrounds of the two parties are very different.
Standing under the red flag, this ancient and outdated concept must be resolutely despised or even despised. But when you pick up the bowl, you should make a basic judgment in your heart whether it really should be despised or despised.
The situation at home is similar. Xu Rong and his daughter have known each other for a long time, and they are classmates, so they can be together.
The relationship between poverty alleviation and being single is similar to the relationship between a man getting rich and being bad. Being single does not necessarily lead to being single, but poverty alleviation will inevitably lead to being single, because there are too many choices after poverty alleviation.
What he was most worried about was that his wife still had a grudge against Xu Rong. If he hadn't insisted on it and was the head of the family, he might not have been able to raise so much money to buy a house.
If his wife's attitude shows up during the two months that Xu Rong comes to stay, what was originally a good thing will turn into a bad thing.
Xu Rong couldn't tell what happened in the past one or two days, but if he stayed there for two months, that might not be the case.
The last time Xu Rong came over, the relatives he called were all the most respectable and socially status people he knew. Even some people he didn't have much contact with usually were specially invited to come over, which gave Xu Rong enough face.
Therefore, after much deliberation, he decided that before Xu Rong and his daughter came back, he should do a good job in his wife's ideological work, so as not to cause conflicts by then.
During dinner in the evening, Xiao Zhang's father warned: "When Xiao Xu comes in two days, you can't mention false evidence, and be more hospitable to others."
When Aunt Wang heard this, she was unhappy and said, "I don't like hearing what you said. Why am I not enthusiastic?"
Xiao Zhang's father raised his head and glanced at her and said, "Half our lives have passed, and I still don't understand you?"
The two were silent for a while, and then Xiao Zhang's father continued: "Tell me, what can we do to help him?"
Aunt Wang opened her mouth and said after a long time: "We also got half of the money for the house?"
"They wanted to give you half the house for free from the beginning. Do you think they really took the house seriously? And it's not like you didn't hear what Xinxin said. Now he makes a few million for a movie."
Of course Aunt Wang knew this and said, "Then we don't ask him to help us."
"But he can choose someone who can help him."
As a husband, Xiao Zhang’s father knew how to do his wife’s ideological work and asked: “What were we doing when we were twenty-one?”
"I'm in school, why are you asking this?"
"Then look at Xiao Xu." He put the bowl on the table, "I heard from Xinxin that in the celebrity industry, whether you are popular or not depends on luck, and whether you can stay popular depends on your brains."
"It's been two years, but Xiao Xu hasn't gone downhill at all. What does that mean?"
"What does it mean?"
"It shows that he knows what he wants and what he should give up."
Aunt Wang looked at her husband strangely and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
"It's not like you don't know about Lao Liu and his daughter."
"Can't you?"
"We treat our daughters as treasures, but others may not think so. I read a book called Social Economics some time ago, and I think one of the theories is particularly interesting."
Xiao Zhang's father took a sip of water and said, "That's the way it is said. The reason why men and women choose to get married is because they believe that the utility of getting married is higher than the cost. Just like if you are willing to spend 50 cents to buy a pack of candy, it is because you think that eating candy
The utility, that is, the feeling is higher than losing 50 cents. The same is true for marriage. The cost is freedom and responsibility, and the utility is psychological feelings and mutual help.”
"If one day you feel that the utility of divorce is higher than the cost, then you will choose divorce. We cannot forcefully increase the cost for them to be together, because we don't know very well how Xu Rong weighs the utility of marrying Xinxin."
"You're talking nonsense!" Aunt Wang thought for a while before retorting, "How can two people be measured by simple cost and utility?"
Xiao Zhang's father chuckled and stopped talking about this topic. He knew that his wife had listened.
Xu Rong didn't understand the discussion between Xiao Zhang's parents. He encountered a strange thing.
Today he came to the set of "Eternal Dragon Sword" to visit Deng Chao's class.
But when he arrived at the set, when people heard that he was here to watch Deng Chao, the smile on their faces immediately dropped, and they just pointed to the corner of the set.
He looked along and saw that in the corner, Deng Chao was sitting alone on a chair and resting. Within a radius of three meters, there was not even a fly except himself.
Deng Chao lowered his head slightly, hunched over expressionlessly, put his hands on his knees, his eyes were dull, and he said nothing.
Xu Rong didn't walk over immediately. He looked at him for a long time before he realized something was wrong. Even if someone wanted to pass by him, they would walk around him, and no one had any verbal or eye contact with him in the process.
This scene seemed familiar to him, it was on the set of "Yangcheng".
Humans are social creatures, but if they are forcibly separated from society, they can easily suffer emotional breakdown.
What he lamented at that time was Zhao Junkai's wrist, but later he realized that it was not just a matter of wrist.
Coincidentally, the crew of "Yitian" has similar conditions. It is an unprofessional, family crew that speaks for itself.
The characteristics of Zhang Jizhong's team are not a secret in the industry.
Deng Dynasty was isolated.
Based on Deng Chao's emotional intelligence, it stands to reason that this kind of thing shouldn't happen, but looking at the current situation, Xu Rong couldn't guess the reason.
After the contact, Deng Chao's mood also verified his guess.
In more than twenty minutes, Xu Rong only saw him smile once, and it was the kind of forced smile.
He didn't ask why.
Zhang Jizhong is the director of Hua Yi, and Deng Chao is Hua Yi's second brother. The reason is just like a fly on a bald man's head, it's obvious.
Xu Rong didn't want to stay on the set any longer. Even if he was just visiting the crew, he couldn't stand the atmosphere of being treated like air.
After living in such a group for three months, it won't be much worse if I don't become depressed.
But before leaving, Deng Chao hesitated and asked him to stay a little longer and have a drink with him in the evening.
Xu Rong thought about it and didn't refuse, but he didn't stay on the set either. Instead, he went out to find a place by himself.
The superficial reason for the incident is very simple. Deng Chao did not agree to Zhang Jizhong's proposal to hype up the scandal.
But with Deng Chao's reputation, he had the right to refuse.
Xu Rong didn't know how to persuade him, unless Deng Chao immediately went to Zhang Jizhong to admit his mistake.
But that was equivalent to being slapped on the left cheek and then handed over the right cheek. For a first-line actor, it was really too humiliating.
The two of them drank for half the night, but Deng Chao didn't dare to drink too much because it would delay tomorrow's show, and Zhang Jizhong couldn't tell how to watch him.
What Xu Rong didn't expect was that as soon as he left with his front foot, Trouble followed him with his back foot.
