Chapter 7 Dinner
In the evening, Yu Wen received another message from Xie Heyu.
The male and female protagonists are relatively high-profile and have a company-provided RV. Except for them, all staff and artists are arranged to stay in a hotel not far from the filming location. Yu Wen is naturally one of the people who eats the big pot.
There is no notice for him tonight, so he can finish work early. He just bought a bag of fruit at a street stall, and a message popped up on the blurred profile avatar.
[Just finished class, I'm going to pick you up now, I'll be late, sorry. ]
In just a short sentence, a huge amount of information was expressed.
Yu Wen stood under the street light, frowning and thinking hard. For the first time, he couldn't keep up with Teacher Xie's train of thought. He would never admit that there was a generation gap between him and college students, and he firmly believed that there was an information gap.
Yu Wen: [Thank you, kind person. But it only takes Xiao Yu ten minutes to walk from the shooting point to the hotel.
In order not to appear awkward, he immediately added two emoticons:

Xie Heyu: [Xie Jiamao asked me to pick you up for dinner. Didn’t I tell you?]
Yu Wen switched back to the conversation with the boss to confirm, and said firmly: [Not a single word of leaking.]
The boss’s mouth is very serious.
Why are you in the entertainment industry? You should be in the spy industry.
After waiting for a few minutes, there was no new message popping up in the conversation box. Yu Wen estimated that Xie Heyu was talking to the boss with a wooden face and an ellipsis above his head.
He stood there waiting. Although the boss forgot to notify the person concerned, Xie Heyu’s message came in time, and he must be on the way.
Sure enough, Xie Jiamao called in a short while: "Xiao Yu, sorry, sorry, I forgot to tell you, you don't have anything else to do, come over for dinner..."
The boss was full of enthusiasm and looked forward to the future. In just a few words, Starlight Media has entered the Fortune 500.
He really does what he wants, and the dinner party was also arranged on the spur of the moment. From the words, it can be heard that it is an internal company dinner.
But this is a solid boss who pays five insurances and one housing fund a month and also provides accommodation!
What can Yu Wen do? He still forgives him enthusiastically!
-
He waited for Xie Heyu under the street light, and peeled an orange out of boredom. When Xie Heyu arrived, he was so sour that he was standing there, and his face, which was as delicate as a comic, was wrinkled into a ball.
Xie Heyu: "...What?"
Yu Wen squatted on the ground, his free hand clenched into a fist, his eyebrows and eyes drooped in the shadows, and it was unclear.
"I seem to be dying..." After a long time, he choked out a sentence in sorrow, raised his head with tears, "It's so sour!"
Xie Heyu: "..."
Xie Heyu just came out of school, with a simple T-shirt on the upper body, the collar revealing a thin collarbone, and her hair was fluffy and messy. Standing in front of him, she looked like a pine and bamboo.
The cool guy was at a loss, subconsciously reaching for his pocket, inserting his empty hands and pulling them out again, and finally went back to the car to find a mint candy for fresh breath.
On the way back, Yu Wen held the candy in his mouth and did not open the plastic bag of fruit even once.
He had clearly tasted it before buying it, and the boss patted his chest and assured him that every one of them would be this sweet.
Damn it, he would call the police to catch the liar!
Although he has a calm temperament, Yu Wen is actually a little bit coquettish in life. After all, he is a coquettish person.
Let's talk about his diet.
He doesn't eat coriander, and he won't eat anything that smells like coriander. There can be green onions, ginger, and garlic in the dishes, but he can't see them. Vegetables must be fresh. He doesn't like to eat meat, especially pork and chicken. Fruits must be juicy, not too sweet, not too sour, and not tasteless... He
is very shy, so he has been beaten countless times by his mother and sister.
There are only a few kinds of fruits he is willing to eat - oranges that are not sour, and the tips of strawberries. He didn't have much to begin with, and after being cheated this time, he thought he had a psychological shadow, so he decided not to eat fruit for the next month.
Great.
At a red light, Xie Heyu glanced at him through the rearview mirror, and Yu Wen unexpectedly met his eyes. For a moment, his head felt cold, and he felt guilty as if he was being targeted by the messenger of justice.
"Are you... picky about food?"
Yu Wen: "Absolutely not."
"Yeah."
Xie Heyu didn't ask any further questions, which made Yu Wen feel relieved.
On the way, the boss called, and Xie Heyu turned on the hands-free mode. Xie Jiamao was shopping in the supermarket, chattering about which ingredients to buy, and there was a particularly familiar irritable voice next to him.
"What are the taboos?"
Yu Wen was stunned for a while before he realized that he was asking himself.
He hesitated and said politely, "Quite a lot..."
The other party was silent.
After passing the traffic light and stopping the car in front of the sidewalk, Xie Heyu picked up his phone and sent a message.
Yu Wen's phone vibrated.
"Tonight's menu, add your favorite food, and you can write down your dietary restrictions at the back."
He is a very nice person.
Yu Wen was touched by Teacher Xie's attentiveness.
And at this moment, he unilaterally raised their friendship to an unattainable height.
Yu Wen deleted and revised, trying his best to satisfy his precious stomach without affecting others.
Xie Heyu scrolled down the message, only glanced at his "dietary restrictions thesis", and directly deleted four or five dishes from the menu.
The boss on the other end of the phone yelled, dissatisfied with the menu that was passed.
Teacher Xie said briefly: "Teacher Yu is picky about food."
Yu Wen: "..."
"What? Picky about food? Is it serious?" Xie Jiamao's tone was unusually serious, "It won't affect your health. Come back to the hospital for a physical examination."
Yu Wen slowly closed his eyes.
His heart was hanging, and finally he was hanging.
-Being
picky about food will bring some minor problems, not serious-Yu Wen decided to tell his boss this later.
But now, he wanted to ask Xie Heyu for an explanation.
He complained to me! To my boss!
The body management of artists is part of the contract. What's the difference between accusing him of being picky about food and accusing him of breach of contract!
Why should workers make things difficult for workers!
Xie Heyu looked straight ahead, the neon lights of the city fell on his face, outlining his tall and neat profile even more deeply - not only did he feel no guilt, he was also exuding handsomeness wantonly.
Yu Wen was sulking with a bag of oranges. Before making any accusations, he wanted to talk to Xie Heyu about some adult topics to accurately break down his defense.
"Teacher Xie, how do you know I'm picky about food?"
"People with sensitive taste buds tend to be picky about food."
"Oh, then how much does Teacher Xie make?"
"..."
Tremble! This is the cruel social topic among adults!
Unexpectedly, Xie Heyu quickly glanced at him, as if he was very surprised, and tapped his fingers on the steering wheel, revealing his trendy nature with two silver rings.
"I don't have a salary."
Yu Wen's smile froze.
... Pity.
-
Before getting off the car, the flood of pity repaired the precarious brotherhood between him and Teacher Xie. Yu Wen forgave him, one-sidedly.
Xie Heyu politely took the fruit from his hand. Yu Wen saw the irregular geometric pattern of the decorative ring shining, and once again sincerely praised: "Teacher Xie's ring is really beautiful."
This time there was no need for eye contact or silence. Xie Heyu raised his hand and pulled the ring down and handed it to him.
"Here."
... This is more than just a simple friendship.
This is the harmony of aesthetics and the resonance of souls!
Yu Wen put on the silver ring and fiddled with it shyly, "I think it has a bit of that..."
Xie Heyu: "The flavor of a hipster on the streets of America."
... Teacher Xie, his soulmate! His best friend! His sworn brother!
Yu Wen was still fiddling with the two rings until he got into the elevator, smug like a proud cat, and didn't notice that Xie Heyu had opened his plastic bag and stolen his oranges.
-
Xie Jiamao opened the plastic bag and made a sharp noise.
"Xiao Xie! Why did you peel every orange?!"
The boss of Starlight Media complained loudly: "There are only four of us. It's a waste if we can't finish them! One, two, three... thirteen! If each person eats three or more, what will happen if we get angry tomorrow!"
Xie Heyu put on an apron and went into the kitchen as soon as he entered the house. He never expected that he would be the chef for this dinner. Yu Wen stood at the kitchen door and pampered him for ten minutes.
Then he was told that Teacher Xie and his boss had some kind of blood relationship, the kind that they were on the same household registration book.
- They are uncle and nephew.
Yu Wen: The ugly one is actually me.
The company's internal dinner naturally invited all the company members. The four backbones of Starlight Media gathered together to imagine their brilliant future.
... Actually, Xie Jiamao had been working hard for several months and finally persuaded Director Gao to come. He couldn't help but want to share his achievements with the other two in the company, so he organized this dinner.
The moment Gao Kaiyu agreed to sign a contract with him, he really felt that he was the most handsome man in the universe.
Anyway, there were not many people, just four. Because the incident happened suddenly, they chose Xie Jiamao's own apartment as the location. They had a simple hot pot and asked Xie Heyu to make two home-cooked dishes. After the meal, the core members talked heart to heart and slept together. Whether the company can become bigger and stronger depends on whether they can give birth to a friendship that is as strong as a rock!
Director Gao had worked with Yu Wen before, and before signing the contract, he had heard Xie Jiamao talk about this "only golden egg in the company", so he was quite familiar with him. After a few simple greetings, he took the plastic bag from Xie Jiamao's hand and saw that the oranges were ripped open, and almost every one of them was missing a segment. He immediately pointed the finger at Xie Jiamao:
"Are you being too harsh on Xiao Xie?!"
"How is that possible! Xiao Xie is my nephew!"
The two middle-aged men quarreled with each other. Yu Wen silently looked at Xie Heyu who was busy in the kitchen, and reflected for a second on his own judgment.
As for their Xingguang Media, the relatives have no way to make a living.
The relatives have no salary, and look at Teacher Xie, who is greedy and steals his oranges.
Poor.
Yu Wen walked through the battlefield where two middle-aged men were fighting, picked up two oranges from the plastic bag, carefully put them in his arms, and sneaked to the kitchen like a thief.
"Teacher Xie, come on, eat more." He held the oranges in front of Xie Heyu, his face full of kindness.
Xie Heyu stared at the oranges in his hand, and it seemed that his brain crashed for a second.
Then he reacted, washed his hands and returned to the living room. Under the shouts of Xie Jiamao "Little Xie, say something, little Xie, say something!" and Gao Kaiyu's concern "Little Xie, don't be afraid, tell uncle if you don't have money", he opened the plastic bag without changing his expression and picked out two oranges from it.
Two middle-aged men were fighting, but he didn't even look at them. He had a habit and indifference that made people feel distressed.
"I've tried them. These two are the sweetest." He stretched out his hand to Yu Wen, holding two oranges in his broad and slender palms. The orange peels were peeled like flowers. "Eat this one."
It turned out that the orange peels were peeled like ghosts to mark them.
Yu Wen suddenly realized something.
Before he could express his emotion, he heard a clang in the living room.
The middle-aged men who were fighting accidentally overturned the hot pot soup that was being heated.
Gao Kaiyu quickly picked up the ground socket and said angrily: "You——"
When he looked up, Xie Jiamao was standing far away, pointing his finger at him and complaining to Xie Heyu, "Xiao Xie, he did it."
Gao Kaiyu: "..."
Director Gao closed his eyes and could not see the future of Starlight Media.
Yu Wen silently closed his open mouth, jumping back and forth between "You are his bad luck" and "You are so bold, this is the boss at the top."
