My brother is getting married
"I'll do it, I'll do it." Zhang Qingjie walked between the two and introduced them on the left and right: "This is my good brother Xie Yunli. His father is a famous director. The previously popular "Lushan Love" was the work of Director Xie. However, today I want to say something for my brother. He will definitely surpass Director Xie and become the most awesome director in the future."
"Thank you, brother. Please forgive me. He gets carried away when he exaggerates." Xie Yunli put his hand on Zhang Qingjie's shoulder and patted him heavily.
"There's nothing wrong with that. I know my limits and I'm telling the truth. Yunli, this guy," Zhou Huaiyue was a cold-tempered person, Zhang Qingjie didn't dare to touch him, and gestured with his palm, "his name is Zhou, and his name is Huaiyue. A hero must ask about his origins. When the Yunnan-Dian plague broke out, he saved Lily's mother and saved tens of thousands of lives. His grandmother is Chen Boyu, one of the four famous doctors in Beijing. However, for the sake of our small boss, he was willing to stay in Benyuan County, and the two of them partnered to open a drug factory. Tell me if this is a case of a hero being tempted by a beautiful woman.
“No one who loves can get over the test of love.” Xie Yunli summed it up very well.
Wang Li raised the wine glass in front of her, "I dare not call you Master, I call you Brother Huaiyue, I toast to you and Jiaojiao, I have never had the chance to say thank you for my mother's matter, I really want to thank you."
The three of them clinked their glasses, and Shen Roujiao succeeded again and drank the remaining half glass of ice wine.
With Zhang Qingjie at the table, the topic never stops, starting with the 20-block bicycle they assembled, then to their battle with the old woman, and then Zhou Zhiqing was framed for digging and selling medicinal herbs with a small boss, and how brave the two were during the epidemic...
Shen Roujiao suddenly realized that Zhang Qingjun's devilish laughter on the day he gave the bicycle to his father was because his brother scraped together a 20-yuan bicycle just to buy Maotai for his father.
At that time, she only thought that Zhang Qingjun was arrogant and particularly arrogant, and her first impression was not good. Although he helped her deal with Aunt Xu before, he was not so proud. Now it seems that she misunderstood Zhang Qingjun.
Zhou Huaiyue finally figured out that the rumor in the village that Shen Roujiao was going to marry the son of the county chief was actually true. She mistook Zhang Qingjun, who sent the bicycle, as the son of the county chief. Zhang Qingjun and Shen Roujiao had met a long time ago, and he had helped her a long time ago.
The person who was most interested in their story and asked many questions was Xie Yunli.
He said excitedly, "The story of Zhou Zhiqing and the young boss is much more exciting than the script my father is going to film."
"The 'Shepherd' you're talking about?" Zhang Qingjun interrupted.
"The Shepherd" is adapted from a novel. It tells the story of a male protagonist who was labeled a villain and sent to work on a pasture in the northwest. He was taken care of by the herdsmen and later fell in love with a rural girl who fled here to escape famine. The two got married with the help of the herdsmen. After marriage, the boy lived happily. However, in 1980, his father who lived abroad returned to China and found the male protagonist, asking him to abandon his wife and children and go overseas to inherit his inheritance. However, the male protagonist finally gave up and stayed in his motherland, returned to his lover, and continued to live the life of a shepherd.
Director Xie has been scouting locations in Inner Mongolia since the beginning of the year, making early preparations for the filming of "The Shepherd".
"The male protagonists are all educated youth who went to the countryside, and the female protagonists are all ambitious rural girls. Faced with the temptation to return to the city or go abroad, the male protagonists are loyal to their lovers and stay in the countryside. The story structure is exactly the same. But because you were framed, defeated the plague, and established a pharmaceutical factory, the content is far richer than my father's script,..."
After all, this is the film and television industry, so the angles of the conversation are different. When several people were listening with gusto, Zhou Huaiyue said coldly: "Our business is our own. Others don't need to know."
!
He can really pour cold water on someone.
These words choked Xie Yunli so much that he was dumbfounded and speechless.
Zhang Qingjie didn't respond for two seconds.
"It's all a joke, just a joke. Yunli didn't say he wanted to film your story. Huaiyue, you misunderstood." Zhang Qingjie sent a rescuing look to Shen Roujiao.
"Brother Yunli told me a story about Huaiyue that seemed quite interesting, but we didn't realize it ourselves. When we are old, we can sit in a rocking chair and slowly recall and talk about it."
The first sentence was to thank Yun Li for his kindness. He was a big director, but Zhou Huaiyue poured a bucket of cold water on him for nothing. He gave face by holding back and not getting angry. The second sentence was to comfort Zhou Huaiyue. Shen Roujiao understood what he cared about. Every bit of their time together was privacy that belonged to the two of them alone. They didn't want it to be shared, commented on, or turned into entertainment. It was just that he expressed it too bluntly and mercilessly.
"Then I'll bring Lily along too, so we can reminisce and chat together." Zhang Qingjie helped, saving the atmosphere a bit. "Lily's movie will be released on November 1st, the poster will be pretty, right?"
The topic turned to Wang Li, who talked about many interesting things that happened during the filming of the movie. Xie Yunli was like a normal person, and soon they were chatting animatedly again.
In the meantime, Zhou Huaiyue went to get the vanilla ice cream that Shen Roujiao was thinking about, and Xie Yunli went to the bathroom.
There were three people left in the box, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Huai Yue, you really haven't changed at all." Zhang Qingjie shook his head and looked at Shen Roujiao.
In his impression, Zhou Huaiyue was a hedgehog with thorns all over his body, who would prick you for no apparent reason. The first time they met, he pricked Wang Li because of a name; the second time, he pricked Zhang Qingjun because of Shen Roujiao; the third time, he pricked Xie Yunli because of a story.
As a community leader, Zhang Qingjie knew that he was not looking for trouble on purpose, but some things could be more easily accepted by others if they were said in a different way, so there was no need to make things look bad for everyone.
I thought that with Zhou Huaiyue's pharmaceutical factory running well and him running around for business and entertaining people every day, his temper would have changed, but unexpectedly, he is still the same.
"Capable people are all weird at times, they are all the same. When Yunli's camera doesn't take good pictures, he scolds whoever he catches. Everyone else is afraid of him, except you." Wang Li picked up two butter cookies from the plate and handed one to Shen Roujiao.
She took it with a smile, and without saying anything else, she only asked, "When are you leaving?"
"We will return to Beijing tomorrow, and our home..." Zhang Qingjie suddenly paused, exchanged glances with Wang Li, and both fell silent.
"What happened at home? Is Brother Qingjun okay?" Zhang Qingjie was rarely seen hesitating, and Shen Roujiao's first reaction was that Zhang Qingjun's gunshot wound had relapsed.
"My dear little sister," Zhang Qingjie hesitated for a while before speaking, "My brother is getting married."
!
marry?
So fast, so sudden?
"The girl is a nurse. She took good care of my brother during his hospitalization. The wedding is scheduled for October 18th. We want to hold the wedding before my brother returns to the army in November. My mother has been in Beijing recently and has been busy with these things." While speaking, Zhang Qingjie's eyes never left Shen Roujiao's face. He could see clearly the surprise and suspicion in her eyes.
"That's great. Congratulations to Brother Qingjun for finding the right partner. Is his injury healed? Is he going back to the army so soon?" She tried to appear calm.
It's true that Shen Roujiao was happy for Zhang Qingjun, but it's also true that she was a little sad.
From their evasive attitude, it can be seen that Zhang Qingjun does not want her to know. In Shen Roujiao's heart, Zhang Qingjun is a man who dares to think and act and can accomplish great things. She truly regards him as a friend and sincerely hopes for his well-being and safety and happiness.
But he wanted to hide it from her.
At this moment, Shen Roujiao understood that perhaps in Zhang Qingjun's heart, there was no option for them to be friends. If they could not be lovers, they would be strangers.
Clean and crisp, very much like him.
Zhang Qingjie was not blinded by the disappointment in Shen Roujiao's eyes. He replied, "After all, he is young and his wounds heal quickly. My brother risked his life to capture a leader who escaped. He won a second-class merit and was transferred to a military district close to the capital."
"That's great. It's a great joy that Brother Qingjun has achieved success in both love and career. Huaiyue and I wish him a happy marriage." Even though he understood the reason, he couldn't give a decent smile.
"Actually, my brother has thought about it..."
At this moment, the door of the box was pushed open, and Zhou Huaiyue appeared with two cups of ice cream in his hands. Zhang Qingjie swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
"Boss, your ice cream is here." Wang Li changed the subject.
"One for each of us." Shen Roujiao gave one of the cups to Wang Li.
"I don't dare to give her any more. She just ate two." Zhang Qingjie hurriedly stood up, almost lying on the table, took the ice cream in front of Wang Li and gave it back to Shen Roujiao.
"Oh, then you can't eat it anymore." That's really rude.
"I'm not going to compete with you. Just eat it!" Wang Li was amused by Shen Roujiao's greedy expression.
The door was opened again, and it was Xie Yunli who came back.
"Young boss, when will you and Huaiyue come back?" Zhang Qingjie asked.
"I'm not sure. I'll know after visiting several hospitals in Shanghai." Zhou Huaiyue answered before Shen Roujiao could speak.
"Oh, okay." Zhang Qingjie smiled bitterly and said to Xie Yunli beside him, "After we go to Shaanxi to survey the scenery, come back to Yunnan with me to visit my hometown and find some inspiration for you."
"Brother Yunli, you must come. I will make skewers, stinky tofu, and sweet potato cakes for you." Shen Roujiao followed with a sincere invitation.
Xie Yunli slapped the table and said without any hesitation, "Then let's make a deal. None of these can be missing. You don't know how many times Qingjie has told me that I must try your cooking skills."
"It's a deal. I'll be waiting for you in Yundian."
…
Xie Yunli paid the bill that night. He used the excuse of going to the bathroom but actually went to pay.
However, when he followed him out, he stopped Zhou Huaiyue.
"What's up?"
"Do you want to act?" Xie Yunli's eyes fell on Zhou Huaiyue's misty face. "You have beautiful facial features and will be photogenic. Moreover, when you were talking back at me, the upright and stubborn spirit in your bones was particularly in line with the temperament of educated youth. The male lead of "The Shepherd" has not been decided yet, and your image and feeling are very suitable. I can recommend you, do you want to try?"
From the first sight, Xie Yunli "fell in love" with Zhou Huaiyue's face. It was truly a standard screen face: excellent bone structure, three-dimensional and powerful facial features, clear outlines, and although his face was cold, it had a sense of story.
"I don't want to. Also, I'm not targeting you. I'm just not interested in what you said." After saying that, Zhou Huaiyue turned around and walked away, pouring another bucket of cold water on Xie Yunli.
He stood there in a daze, smiling awkwardly, thinking: Is this guy a romantic? He must be pissing off his partner to death.
