Author: I'm Red

After Xu Rong finished the backlog of work, he just closed the office door and was about to go home. Before he could reach the parking lot, he received a call from Zhang Heping.

Today is January 21, 2012, the 28th day of the Lunar New Year in 2011, and tomorrow is New Year's Eve.

According to regulations, today is the last working day before the New Year and should go to work, but if everything is done according to regulations, there will be no more ordinary people who have sharpened their heads and become superiors, and there will be no more angry people who have sharpened their heads but not become superiors.

He originally planned to go home for dinner first, and then take Jin Fangfang home to celebrate the New Year with Xiao Zhang and Xu Xing.

He had discussed with Xiao Zhang's classmate and also with his family members.

However, he only revealed the pregnancy of Jin Fangfang to Xiao Zhang. Young people have their ideas about young people and the older generation has their ideas about older generations.

Xu Rong was also a little confused about his grandfather and the others knew what Jin Fangfang would be after she became pregnant.

It is natural for human nature, and you will inevitably be confused when you hear the news:

Since I am pregnant, why come to my house for the New Year?

Who is the father of the child?

If you take the conventional way of pregnancy, you will inevitably be a little bit lighter. After all, it has not been a glorious thing to get pregnant before marriage for thousands of years. A hundred years ago, similar things happened, and women usually either "crazy" or "dead".

If I knew the test tube she made, I would not have tried a long time to explain what it means. After understanding the twists and turns, I would inevitably feel a little pity.

But whether it is contempt or pity, it is something that Jin Fangfang cannot accept.

After working together for five years, Xu Rong knew Jin Fangfang so well and was very competitive, but on the other hand, if she didn't have such a strong competitive spirit, she probably wouldn't have accompanied him to this day.

And no matter in private, he has always maintained respect and politeness to Jin Fangfang in front of others.

Without Jin Fangfang, he might be able to gain his current status and wealth, but he will undoubtedly have to spend more energy or suffer more setbacks.

Just looking at the phone call from Zhang Heping, he guessed that he still had time to answer Jin Fangfang. He definitely couldn't go home for lunch today.

"Xiao Xu, where is it?" After answering the phone, Zhang Heping's happy voice came from the phone.

"Oh, what about the school? What's wrong with the dean?"

"School?"

Zhang Heping immediately became alert: "What are you doing at school?"

"Isn't there some materials that I need to sign? I came here for a while, but it was mainly the materials I learned. I have been urging them several times." He understood Zhang Heping's concerns, but he knew more clearly that Zhang Heping was not going to talk to him about family matters now, "Director, is there something wrong?"

"It's something, but it's a good thing. Come here quickly, just in the teahouse we came to last time."

"Okay, I'll come now."

While walking towards the parking lot, Xu Rong thought about what it would be like to find Zhang Heping at this time.

He was not sure about good or bad things, but what he could be sure of must be urgent matters, otherwise Zhang Heping would not have let him go now.

When he arrived at the teahouse that Zhang Heping mentioned, he followed a waitress wearing a water blue high-slit cheongsam, who was only four or five centimeters shorter than him. He vaguely remembered that when they came last time, their clothes were still beige-white slanted short cheongsam. When they lowered their heads to make tea, they seemed to be able to see something, but they seemed to be able to see nothing.

He was extremely disgusted with such places. Most of the so-called elegance were vassals, and there were countless filth and dirt. However, for the need to accumulate material for life, he had to endure discomfort and visit frequently. Although like others, he happened to be seen something that should not be seen, unlike those lustful eyes, he looked at the injustice with a critical perspective.

After entering the door and seeing the three people sitting there, Xu Rong was stunned for a moment and instantly understood the reason why Zhang Heping called him today.

Zhang Heping sat opposite the door. On his left hand, there was a chubby middle-aged woman with a low head and aged in her fifties. Her eyebrows and eyes were quite gentle and rich. She was also one of the guests who attended the wedding yesterday. Now Changying's head of the family Liu Lijuan.

Opposite Liu Lijuan is Xu Rong's old acquaintance, director Zhang Li of "Towards the Republic", "The Ming Dynasty 1566", and "The Right Way on Earth is Vicissitudes".

With his arrival, Liu Lijuan and Zhang Li stood up almost at the same time: "Xiao Xu, are chatting about you. Heping just now was talking, "Are you here at this time disturbing the couple's honeymoon?"

"Aunt Liu, you are so polite. I don't know how to thank you if you can come when we get married."

Turning his head, he greeted Zhang Li again: "Uncle Li, you have really gone in a big circle."

"I'm learning from you too."

"Hahaha."

In fact, the moment he saw Zhang Li, Xu Rong had already figured out the causes and consequences.

The TV series that Zhang Li is preparing to film is likely to have attracted investment from Changying, and 80% are the main investors, otherwise Liu Lijuan would not have come to find Zhang Heping in person.

Xu Rong sat down at the bottom and said to Zhang Li, who was about to reach out to make tea, "Uncle Li, please rest, I will come, I will show off. If you say you drink tea, I may be less than one tenth of you, but if you talk about making tea, you will at most be the two of us."

"Hahaha."

Zhang Li asked Xu Rong for help today. Besides, Xu Rong was no longer the student who was guarding the door. He didn't dare to let Xu Rong pour tea, and hurriedly said, "I'll do it, I'll do it."

Zhang Heping smiled and said, "Director Zhang, why are you polite to him? You know each other earlier, don't be fooled by this guy's name, it's all false."

"You must be the leader, can we say this again? How shameless?"

"Hahaha."

When Zhang Li saw Liu Lijuan laughing, he also laughed, but he smiled relatively introvertedly. Looking at Xu Rong, who was so close to him, lowered his eyebrows, lowered his eyes, and was calmly washing tea. He thought for no reason in his heart that the young man standing behind Xu Qing, who was nervously looking at him many years ago.

He is in the same industry and looks up but never sees him. However, since the filming of "The Ming Dynasty 1566", he and Xu Rongrong have had two dealings. One was when Song Jia went to visit the set during the filming of "The Hidden", and the other was when he remakes "The Ming Dynasty 1566". Every time he sees him, Xu Rong gives him a slightly different impression, but in his feeling, there is something that never seems to have changed.

"Did Aunt Liu buy the air ticket back?"

"I bought it. When I heard from Heping that you were going to get married, I asked someone to book a round trip ticket."

Liu Lijuan smiled and said, "By the way, Xiao Xu, I heard the accent yesterday, Xiao Zhang is also from the Northeast, right?"

"Yes, from Anshan." Xu Rong poured her a cup of tea, "But if Aunt Liu says that, I have to review it, which means that we have not practiced basic skills well."

"Hahaha."

While smiling, Liu Lijuan continued: "Actually, this also means that you are destined to be with our Northeast."

Xu Rong understood the meaning of Liu Lijuan's guidance on the topic and said, "Aunt Liu, you are right. In 2004, I went to work in the construction site, and I went to Jilin. The first movie "Military Worker" I filmed was also filmed in Jilin. I was really popular all over the country because of "Harbin under the Night". Now I have married a wife from Northeast China. Then you took the time to attend my wedding. Not only was there fate, but the fate was more than a little bit."

"Look, look." Zhang Heping smiled and pointed at Xu Rong, "What am I saying? When this guy is here, you never have to worry about having nothing to talk about. He can say everything alone."

"I accept criticism from my leader, shut up, shut up?"

"Hahaha."

After a while of greeting, Zhang Heping laughed and stood up, saying, "You guys talk to you, I'll go out and make a phone call."

Xu Rong looked at Zhang Heping who nodded at him with a smile, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

If Zhang Heping never leaves, it means he must agree today, but now Zhang Heping has made room for it, which is another meaning.

He can decide whether to take on this book based on his own mood, without worrying about Zhang Heping's face.

When Zhang Heping left the door, Liu Lijuan said, "Xiao Xu, let's be honest, I'm going to come to the capital this time, mainly two things. The first is to attend your wedding, and the second is to have a play that I want to invite you to play."

"This is the script outline." While Liu Lijuan was speaking, Zhang Li also handed over the notebook.

Xu Rong had actually expected this scene, should Liu Lijuan give her face?

Before Zhang Heping stood up, he had already made up his mind, for nothing, if things are not satisfactory, he would win the Grand Slam again with three grand prizes, and he would never die anyway.

But as Zhang Heping stood up, there seemed to be room for maneuver again. Changying was not Zhongying. Now that he was getting closer to Changying, wouldn’t it be equivalent to joining the national army in 1949?

Seeing that he glanced at the script but had no intention of turning it on, Liu Lijuan knew that he could not speak. Once he refused, it would be difficult to have any room for improvement, so he immediately said: "You have to decide the schedule, the pay, the actor, what conditions do you have? As long as you propose it, Aunt Liu must coordinate as much as possible."

"Xiao Xu, since you call me aunt, Aunt Liu tells you the truth. If you don't act in this drama, we won't film it."

Xu Rong heard the sincerity in Liu Lijuan's words, and of course he also heard the room for nothing, but when it comes to this, he refused in person and offended the person to death.

He hesitated for a moment, picked up the script and opened the outline, looked at it for a while, and said, "Hey, the character Zhang Zuolin is quite interesting."

"Who do you think is suitable?" Liu Lijuan looked at him. She was not afraid that he would have any objections, but she was afraid that he would have no objections.

Xu Rong raised his head and looked at Liu Lijuan, who was smiling more kindly for a while, and said with a wry smile: "I said, can Aunt Liu invite you?"

Liu Lijuan smiled gently: "Auntie said, what conditions do you have? As long as you propose it, Auntie Liu will help and coordinate as much as possible."

"Teacher Jin Tujie or Teacher Li Xuejian, I feel that both of them should be able to act."

"Okay." Liu Lijuan immediately took out her cell phone and called a phone number as if she was afraid that he would go back on her regret.

"Hey, Brother Xue Jian, it's me, Li Juan"

Xu Rong closed the script, but in fact, he decided to take the script a second before he made his opinion.

There is no major problem with the logic of the book. A Changying head said this to this point, and if he refuses, he will make enemies.

In fact, he also knew in his heart that with Liu Lijuan's determination, even if he refused now, he might turn back and might even be a lobbyist. Since something must happen, it would be better to be more open-minded than tortuous and twists and turns that everyone would not be happy.

As said online, since you cannot resist, it is better to turn passive into initiative and master the rhythm. If you are happy to do something, you have to be happy and have to be happy.

After seeing off Liu Lijuan and Zhang Li, Xu Rong did not go back immediately because Zhang Heping was going back to the yard.

Xu Rong understood the reason. Even if he was fine, Zhang Heping would rather stay in the office and drink tea than go home to rest.

He was always dragged by Zhang Heping, and he couldn't leave for a while, so he sent Xiao Zhang a message telling her not to go back for lunch today.

He has been feeling a very common phenomenon recently. Most of the relationships between leaders and subordinates, especially those in the system, are deeply influenced by the traditional concept of superiors and inferiority. Just like when I went out to play the night before yesterday, the whole audience chatted with him either Hao Shi and a few of his ranks, or they were a little familiar with Wang Lei and Xin Yue. The other people were cautious and almost uncovered. Even Wang Lei and Xin Yue had a slight sense of alienation, but they were fewer than others.

He understands the deep-seated reasons, saying more mistakes, saying less mistakes, not saying good things, and not saying good things. Many times, it is better to do one thing than to do something bad and impress the leader, and even completely deny it because of this matter. Instead of doing it, it is better to keep a distance from the leader.

He doesn't like this way of getting along because he is not even sure if there is a truth he hears.

By pointing to others, he gradually understood Zhang Heping’s nagging problem. Most of the time the leader is actually very lonely, and Zhang Heping, who has a relatively low family status, is even more so.

But the difference from most people is that in the past, he has never taken drama too seriously, which has also led to him not having too many taboos when communicating with Pu Cunxi and Zhang Heping. This is probably one of the reasons why he can stand out.

Following Zhang Heping back to the office, Xu Rong consciously boiled water and made tea, saying, "Director, what's going on in Changchao Film Studio now?"

"What's the situation?" Zhang Heping lit a cigarette, "It's a burgeoning reform, but no one can tell what it will be like in the future. Otherwise, how could Han Sanping seem to be capable?"

"Your grandfather is also a worker. You should know more about the situation of state-owned enterprises. The mines usually have their own hospitals, schools have all kinds of messy public facilities, and various benefits for retired employees and family members. Although Changying Factory is gone, there are still tens of thousands of mouths lying on the body of Changying Factory to suck blood."

"Well, will Changying go bankrupt or even be acquired?"
