Shen Lianjie has everything Lu Yuan dreams of having.
Family background, identity, status, power, and...
Beautiful girl.
This is an unfair world. Some people are born with everything and can enjoy life, but some people work hard for most of their lives but have nothing. Instead, they are extremely poor, live in extreme poverty, and end their lives in a hasty manner.
Shen Lianjie and Lu Yuan are these two types of people.
The piano music downstairs started again, this time playing an elegant and light minor tune.
Of course, the player was not Zhou Yao, but a girl wearing glasses.
Zhou Yao had already left, having left the cafe with mixed emotions, and it was obvious that she was not in a very good mood.
Maybe this was a beautiful misunderstanding, but in any case, she was stimulated by Lu Yuan.
Everyone desires recognition from the strong, and she also desires to be recognized. When she asked Lu Yuan how well she played the piano, she began to desire it.
Unfortunately, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
She couldn't get recognition from Lu Yuan, but fortunately, while she was frustrated, she seemed to have realized something.
She felt that Lu Yuan was right.
I really...
no.
"Director Lu, I've heard a lot about you."
"Director Shen, I've heard a lot about you."
It was the first time that Lu Yuan officially met Shen Lianjie. No matter how jealous he was of Shen Lianjie, he still had a warm smile on his face.
As hypocritical as a pimp ready to collect money from his clients.
Shen Lianjie was also smiling, but his smile was much more sincere than Lu Yuan's.
It can be seen that his acting skills are indeed better than Lu Yuan's.
After he took a quick glance at Lu Yuan's attire, he had a rough idea of Lu Yuan's level. After greeting him politely but not elegantly, he stopped looking at Lu Yuan.
In his opinion, Lu Yuan was an insignificant little person.
He won't take it too seriously.
Even the words "Director Lu" and "Jiu Yang" were just for show.
What kind of waves can a movie with an investment of 800,000 yuan, a banned idol-like leading actor, and an unknown director create?
It’s even a question whether it can be released in the end, let alone become a huge hit.
Therefore, Lu Yuan could never be someone he cared about.
Lu Yuan knew that he didn't care about him, so he felt very calm, without any disturbance.
The two people are two unrelated parallel lines, and even if they intersect, it is only short-lived.
The future will only get further and further away, and the path ahead will be completely different.
So, just be hypocritical and polite and deal with it.
This way everyone can save face.
so.
Good.
Drinking coffee quietly and occasionally listening to piano music whose meaning he did not understand, Lu Yuan continued to think about the decoration plan of his restaurant, which he thought was very good.
"If you really can't make ends meet, come and help me. "Capital" still needs a lot of work in the later stage. You are Liu Tingting's friend, so I trust you in this." Shen Lianjie didn't care about Lu Yuan. Instead, he ordered a cup of musk coffee, took a sip, and looked at Fatty Wei indifferently.
"I'm living a good life, so there's no need for you, the great director, to worry about me. As for whether I can be trusted or not, it has nothing to do with anyone, especially irrelevant people!" There was disgust in the depths of Fatty Wei's eyes, but there was also a hint of pain in the disgust.
He tried hard not to look at the elegant woman next to him, and even tried to treat this woman as air.
Youth is always beautiful, and heartbreak is always painful.
His fists under the table were clenched so tightly that they were shaking.
Some youth has left.
Some people left too.
Won't be coming back.
He suddenly felt particularly touched by Lu Yuan's song "Old Boy".
Then he let go.
"Wuji, stop making trouble. I know that some things are my fault, but you can't give up on yourself! Ideals can't be eaten! Besides... I am only doing this for the sake of our past..."
"Giving up on yourself? When did I give up on myself? What qualifications do you have to judge me?" Fatty Wei took a deep breath. Although his eyes were bloodshot, he looked at Liu Tingting with a relieved smile on his face.
"Aren't you giving up on yourself by making this kind of movie?" Liu Tingting stared at Fatty Wei, refusing to be outdone.
"What do you mean, have you ever read the script for this kind of movie?" The smile on Fatty Wei's face had completely disappeared, leaving only a hint of gloom.
"Although I haven't seen it, a movie with an investment of 800,000 yuan is definitely not a good movie! You are too idealistic, and this is why I left you. You will never amount to anything in your life. I was really blind at the time!" Liu Tingting crossed her arms across her chest, and her words were almost harsh and accusatory.
"Aren't you attracted by his resources and his money? Also, he is more handsome than me and better at sweet talk than me?" Fatty Wei finally couldn't help but stood up.
Perhaps, the self-esteem in my heart was stimulated, and my chest was heaving.
"Wuji, don't be angry first. I came here to ask you to have coffee today not to quarrel with you, but to give you a chance." Shen Lianjie frowned at first, but then gradually regained his composure and smiled what he thought was a kind and gentlemanly smile. He still looked so cheerful!
"I accepted your invitation today because I wanted to give you a chance. Our crew is short of a driver. You have good driving skills and I think you are very suitable. So can you come and help me?" Fatty Wei stared at Shen Lianjie, suppressed the anger in his heart, and sneered.
"You..." Shen Lianjie's eyes suddenly turned gloomy and his smile disappeared.
"Brother Shen, I told you that your kindness has been taken for granted! Some people are just so ignorant and don't know how to seize opportunities. Let's go." Liu Tingting also glanced at Fatty Wei with some anger in her eyes.
"Haha! Opportunity?" Fatty Wei sneered and was about to get angry, but he didn't expect Lu Yuan to kick his foot.
"You two, I think that we should all drink coffee in harmony and not hurt the harmony." Lu Yuan smiled brightly and drank the Blue Mountain coffee in a calm voice. He seemed to be in a very peaceful mood and even lit a cigarette and started smoking.
Everything seemed very natural.
"Yes, your friend is the one who has foresight. Brother Shen, let's go. I heard that Teacher Chen is in Hengdian these days. Let's go visit him. After all, composing music is very troublesome. There's no need to waste time on some random people." Liu Tingting stood up and shook her head in disgust. She couldn't stand Fatty Wei's attitude and the smell of Lu Yuan's cigarettes.
The smell made her want to vomit!
Uneducated low class people!
She cursed inwardly.
"Well, Director Lu, you guys take your time drinking. Just put the money for the coffee in my account." Shen Lianjie also stood up and smiled faintly at Lu Yuan. He looked very enthusiastic and continued to be as cheerful as spring breeze. He even elegantly let Liu Tingting hold his hand, showing a very good manner.
"Goodbye, I won't see you off!" Fatty Wei also lit a cigarette and responded coldly.
"Well, take your time drinking, and put it on my account."
"Yeah, okay." Lu Yuan looked at the two people's backs as they left with a bright smile, without any anger or other emotions at all.
At this moment...
"By the way! Let me tell you, when your "Capital" is scheduled for release, my "Buried Alive" will also be released at that time!" Fatty Wei suddenly took a deep breath.
"Oh? Good luck to you!"
"Bang!"
After the two left, Fatty Wei drank the coffee in one gulp, slammed the cup on the table, and looked very angry.
"Ayuan, why did you stop me just now!"
"I didn't stop you."
"Why don't you let me talk to that woman properly?"
"Why are you, a grown man, fighting with a woman? Didn't you see that it was Shen Lianjie who ordered this from the beginning to the end?"
"You...you don't know, this woman...she..."
"I really don't know, but do you think Shen Lianjie is being pretentious and acting like he's totally calm and at ease, watching the show like it's a joke?"
"So what?"
"If this was a confrontation, you lost, badly, at least in terms of quality."
"At this moment, what qualities do I need? I..."
"Okay, why are you so angry? We are well-mannered people, don't you know that? The ridicule you are receiving now, you can just fight back hard in the future. The harder you are ridiculed, the harder you will fight back!"
"Yes, slap in the face! No, bah, Ayuan, you are even less civilized than me! Didn't you say you don't smoke?"
"Bullshit, I've always been very well behaved. I just don't believe that you don't want to order more of the most expensive coffee, drink one cup after another, and then put it on Shen Lianjie's account, so that Shen Lianjie will doubt his life?"
"I don't!"
"Waiter, give me twenty times the musk coffee..."
"Twenty cups? When did I want to...wait...you mean..."
"I didn't say anything. I am a well-educated person, I am very elegant, so I want to drink the most expensive one. If someone pretends to be cool, I have to charge some interest first!"
"Shit! I want forty cups!"
The two of them exchanged glances, and both understood when they heard hurried footsteps outside the box.
"Ah? Teacher Chen? Why are you here? I was thinking of visiting you..."
"Oh, Xiao Shen, long time no see?"
"Yes, Mr. Chen, are you free tonight? I would like to ask you..."
"Oh, I'm a bit busy tonight. I have to meet someone."
"Ah, who are you meeting?"
"A brilliant young man."
"Well, shall I accompany you?"
"good."
Fatty Wei and Lu Yuan had wicked smiles on their faces and were about to call the waiter when the curtain was suddenly pulled open.
"Young man, didn't I leave you a number and ask you to call me? Why didn't you call?"
"???"
Lu Yuan looked at the old man who suddenly came in, and his smirk suddenly froze on his face.
Who is this old man?
What does this mean?
Shen Lianjie was also stunned...
What's going on?
Fatty Wei was also dumbfounded.
