Chapter 87 Chapter 87
That night, on the way to the airport with the artists, Ji Zhen saw Xiao Qinghe's newly updated Weibo.
@肖晴鹤: The sun is shining, let’s go to the university for a walk.
In the nine-square grid, he checked in at the Great Hall, Tsinghua University, and Jinchun Garden, went to the cafeteria, and participated in clubs. The center of the nine-square grid was a photo of him and He Xianyu at Lover's Hill.
One of them was handsome with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and the other was handsome and elegant. They stood on the grass slope, with blue sky and white clouds behind them. Just a slight smile made the whole clear sky pale in comparison.
Ji Zhen asked: "Xianyu, did your brother go to your school?"
He Xianyu nodded, "What's wrong?"
Ji Zhen handed the phone to He Xianyu and showed him Xiao Qinghe's Weibo. "It will probably be on the hot search list soon. Your brother rarely does business. He brought you along when he did. He really wants to support you."
He Xianyu admired Xiao Qinghe's stunning beauty, "Otherwise why do people say he is my number one nanny."
"You are the only male artist under his company. If he doesn't support you, who else can he support?" Ji Zhen opened the schedule. "Next Saturday, we will shoot a notebook commercial, and next Sunday night, we will have a live broadcast to promote green tea drinks. By the way, Xiao Wang invited you and Cao Ruoxi to shoot the MV for his new song. The shooting time is scheduled for next month."
He Xianyu feels that he is a slash youth of the new era. From Monday to Friday, he is like an ordinary college student, getting up early, doing pre-school, and treating the library as his second home. On the weekends, he has to rush to various filming locations to complete his work as an artist.
The flight to Yunnan took about 3 hours. In the first-class cabin, He Xianyu took out a book to read, and at this time, someone came to the seat next to him.
He was wearing a pure black suit, as straight as a knife, wearing bright handmade leather shoes, and carrying a fashionable yet dignified black handbag, which was very eye-catching.
It was Chen Zhuo, whom I hadn’t seen for a while.
He Xianyu offered his concern as an employee: "Brother Chen, are you going on a business trip to Yunnan?"
Shen Zhuo replied as he sat down: "Travel."
He Xianyu took another look at his attire and thought: As long as you are happy.
The plane was flying smoothly in the air.
He Xianyu lowered his head slightly and flipped through a book. The fingers of his hand holding the book were slender and neatly trimmed, a pale pink.
Shen Zhuo came over and asked, "What book are you reading?"
He Xianyu showed the cover, "Sociological Animals. Brother Chen, I strongly suggest that you give a copy to every artist in the company."
Chen Zhuo pretended to listen attentively and unbuttoned the first two buttons of his white shirt. Usually formal clothes can give men a kind of abstinence temptation, but with the collar slightly opened like this, it exudes a lazy atmosphere.
He Xianyu talked freely: "This book can help artists easily understand the seemingly reasonable but unreasonable things happening in the entertainment industry. For example, why is it easy to spread rumors, but it takes a lot of effort to refute them? Why are the more extreme views more likely to be accepted? The book says that humans are like this because our cognitive abilities are limited. In order to conserve cognitive energy, we are used to making quick and simple judgments on complex issues based on experience. For example, why are there so many argumentative people on the Internet? The book explains that this is because humans are cognitive conservatives. Once we determine what something is like, we will do everything we can to find evidence to support our views."
Chen Zhuo nodded approvingly, "As expected, the more books you read, the more thorough your view of problems will be. I recommend you read a book called The Crowd. Do you know why fans' IQs drop as soon as they enter the fan circle? When people are in a group, their IQs drop significantly. In order to gain recognition, individuals are willing to abandon right and wrong and use their IQs to exchange for a sense of belonging that makes them feel safe."
"For example, the quarrel between the fans of Jiang Bai and Xu Yining not long ago was just an individual behavior at first, but the fate of the second and third people turned it into a collective behavior, and individuals in a group will definitely be polarized by the group. The reason for the initial fight is no longer important, and it soon turned into a carnival for a group of people."
He Xianyu said with emotion: "Brother Chen, you are quite understanding."
Shen Zhuo raised his eyebrows and said, "I studied philosophy at Oxford University. I have a few textbooks in my hometown. If you like them, I'll give them to you."
During the next three hours of the flight, the two chatted about philosophy and had a great time.
A certain elite in a suit and tie was very proud. Although Xiao Qinghe took photos at Lover's Hill, could he talk about philosophy? Although Jing Chen often went there for free meals, could he talk about philosophy? Although Jiang Bai could dance, could he talk about philosophy? As for Gu Zeye, he could only drive, could he talk about philosophy?
As October was approaching, the weather in Yunnan began to get cold. When getting off the plane, He Xianyu put on a coat and said "goodbye" to Chen Zhuo.
Not long after, Chen Zhuo got on the car that the crew sent to pick up He Xianyu.
He Xianyu was stunned: "Aren't you here for a trip?"
"I'm supervising you to travel while you're acting." Chen Zhuo felt that he was not abusing his power for personal gain. He invested in this film, so as a financier, wasn't it natural for him to come and inspect it?
The car set off from the hotel, leaving the bustling city, and after nearly four hours of driving, arrived at a village located in a valley.
Surrounded by mountains, the architecture here is all stilted buildings, with the corners of the houses like swallow wings. The winding alleys filter out gentle light like a funnel. The claws of commercialization have not yet reached in, and the quaint rural atmosphere is still preserved.
The only means of transportation here is mules. Teacher Cai Baogeng, who plays Tan Qiming, is old and has difficulty walking, so the film crew asked local villagers to use mules to carry Teacher Cai up.
Others walked there and felt the fresh air and this secluded ancient village that combines the primitive beauty of the mountains and the beauty of humanities.
This is also where the little ghost in the movie "Return to the Tomb" lives.
After a month, He Xianyu played the role of a little ghost again, and he felt like he was back home. In the past, it took him a long time to get into the role. Perhaps it was because of that inner drama that He Xianyu resonated with the character, and it was also the first time he felt the pleasure of acting until his scalp tingled. He felt that there was a switch in his body, and when he turned it on, he could immediately enter the world of the little ghost.
The filming of the movie went very smoothly.
When work was over in the evening, Zhong Xiaoyin's mushroom soup was ready.
Zhong Xiaoyin lived in Yunnan when he was young. When he returned to his hometown this time, he went to the mountains to pick fresh mushrooms and cooked a big pot for everyone in the crew.
"After October, if you want to eat these wild mushrooms, you have to wait until next year." Zhong Xiaoyin introduced them one by one. This is the matsutake mushroom, which has a strong fragrance and melts in your mouth; this is the blue-headed mushroom, which has a smooth and delicate texture and a fresh taste; this is the Alpinia hortensis, which has tender flesh and a light and elegant fragrance...
He Xianyu's mouth was watering as he listened. He tasted the soup and it was indeed delicious, with a fragrant aroma in his mouth.
It is autumn in Yunnan, and the cool breeze is blowing. Eating a bowl of hot mushroom soup is one of the greatest pleasures in life.
He Xianyu and Shen Zhuo lived in the same B&B, and they went back together.
A silver moon hangs in the night sky, casting a frosty light.
It was rare for Shen Bazong not to wear a suit. He looked particularly relaxed in his black casual pants and beige mid-length windbreaker. He walked to a cluster of flowers, squatted down, looked at the fat orange cat that was taking a nap, and meowed.
He Xianyu exclaimed in her heart, it turns out that Mr. Shen also has such an innocent side.
The fat cat opened its eyes and let out a long, alert "meow".
"You told me to go home quickly, so why don't you go home?" Chen Zhuo continued to say to the cat, "I have a home, and my home is very big."
He Xianyu: “…”
What's going on?
Why would Chen Zhuo want to chat with a Mimi?
The orange cat's fur all stood up and it let out an angry, sharp "meow!".
Chen Zhuo was so frightened that he howled and held his head and cried, "Mimi, how did you turn into a tiger?"
He Xianyu: “…………”
Could it be that I’m possessed by evil spirits?
I heard that the crews shooting ghost-themed dramas are prone to attracting some unclean things. Although He Xianyu appears to be a staunch materialist, he himself is a person who traveled through time and space in a book, so he is both materialistic and idealistic.
Fortunately, the owner of the B&B was knowledgeable and could tell at a glance that he was not possessed by evil spirits, but poisoned.
He Xianyu quickly called 120. Two strong staff members carried Shen Zhuo on a stretcher to the entrance of the village.
Chen Zhuo shouted, "Why are you catching me? Catch the cat, it can talk, it has cultivated into a tiger spirit!"
The two staff members were trying hard to hold back their laughter.
He Xianyu held him down and said, "Brother Chen, how do you understand what he is saying?"
Chen Zhuo answered: "It speaks with subtitles. I also saw many little people dancing."
The ambulance took Chen Zhuo to the hospital. Dozens of people ate the mushroom soup made by Zhong Xiaoyin, but only Chen Zhuo was poisoned. He Xianyu lamented that the setting of the novel was too strong. When the protagonist meets the protagonist, they will always have bad luck.
Shen Zhuo did not bring an assistant with him when he went to Yunnan this time. After He Xianyu confirmed that he was fine, he asked Ji Zhen to stay in the hospital to take care of him.
Zhong Xiaoyin cried bitterly, her eyes swollen like walnuts full of self-blame and fear: "I was very careful when picking mushrooms, and I didn't put poisonous ones like the sagebrush in. I really didn't mean to do that."
Since becoming He Xianyu's assistant, Zhong Xiaoyin has been working diligently and responsibly without making any mistakes. Unexpectedly, this time she directly poisoned the company's major shareholder and sent him to the hospital.
"Don't worry, when Mr. Shen gets better, I'll take you to apologize to him. Shen Zhuo has a sharp tongue but a soft heart, so this matter will be over soon." He Xianyu comforted him. However, for now, Zhong Xiaoyin should not appear in front of Shen Zhuo.
Two days later, He Xianyu returned to the B&B after work and saw Chen Zhuo lying on the rocking chair at the door with his eyes closed, dozing off. Next to him was the fat orange cat that he mentioned had cultivated into a tiger spirit.
It is no exaggeration to say that in Zhong Xiaoyin's eyes, Shen Zhuo is scarier than a tiger. His body keeps shaking, and a layer of cold sweat has seeped out of his back.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." He Xianyu said softly, then took Zhong Xiaoyin's wrist and walked over.
"Brother Chen, are you feeling better?" He Xianyu apologized with a smile, "I'm really sorry."
He gave Zhong Xiaoyin a look.
Zhong Xiaoyin swallowed and apologized to Shen Zhuo: “Mr. Shen, I’m sorry.”
"Zhong Xiaoyin, I don't want to see your face when I open my eyes." Shen Zhuo's voice sounded colder than the night wind.
He Xianyu gestured to Zhong Xiaoyin to leave quickly. He moved a small stool and sat next to Shen Zhuo, saying in a gentle voice: "Brother Shen, it is indeed my assistant's fault in this matter. I will be fully responsible for your medical expenses."
Chen Zhuo snorted, extremely arrogant: "Do I need this little money?"
Based on He Xianyu's understanding of Shen Zhuo, he must have felt embarrassed.
"Are you and I not compatible? Why are you there every time I make a fool of myself?" Chen Zhuo has always wanted to show off his charm in front of He Xianyu. He firmly believes that he is the best target in the entertainment industry, rich, good-looking and good at acting (although he has never put it into practice, how can he be bad in terms of hardware), so why didn't He Xianyu fall in love with him?
He Xianyu thought about it carefully and said, "No."
Shen Zhuo: "What?"
He Xianyu replied: "I was not there when you had a stomachache in the parking lot."
Chen Zhuo: "..."
He laughed in silence and reached out to rub He Xianyu's hair until it became a mess.
"Little boy, you are the only one who dares to be disrespectful to me."
"How dare I?" He Xianyu looked at him and smiled, "The weather is getting cold, I'm afraid I'll be boiled or steamed fish."
When the two recalled the scene of their first meeting, they couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Although he was in the hospital during his vacation, wasn't being able to be alone with He Xianyu the original intention of his visit? Shen Zhuo was in a good mood and was about to talk about something interesting when he heard someone calling him.
"Brother Zhuo!"
He Xianyu turned his head.
grass--
Why is this green tea girl Xu Yining here?
He Xianyu almost forgot that in the novel "The Domineering President's Delicate Lover", Xu Yining was determined to become his new financial backer.
He laughed coldly, "Xu Yining, you are quite free."
Xu Yining sighed, looking somewhat helpless, "Xianyu, you, the wave behind, pushed me, the wave in front, onto the beach, and I have become a yellow flower yesterday. But I am really happy for you. You were better than me to begin with, and now everyone has finally seen it."
Xu Yining was very indignant. Back then, He Xianyu was just a nobody who was trampled on by everyone, but he actually became popular and even more popular than when he was at his peak.
Why? Just because of his good grades?
He Xianyu was intoxicated by the smell of his tea. The original owner and Xu Yining had long been enemies. It was fine if he pretended in front of the camera, but he was still pretending to be a brother behind the camera.
He decided to make a bowl of fragrant tea, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to be out of fashion so soon. I'm not better than you, I'm just a few years younger."
Shen Zhuo couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Xu Yining's face turned black. He turned his gaze back to Shen Zhuo. After all, this was the reason why he came all the way to Yunnan. "Brother Zhuo, I made some pumpkin porridge for you. Do you want to have some?"
"Xu Yining," Chen Zhuo sat up straight and said seriously, "I am your boss. In terms of resources, I will definitely fight for you if I can, but I am only your boss. Do you understand?"
At this moment, Xu Yining's face turned pale.
Chen Zhuo reached out his hand to He Xianyu, placed it on He Xianyu's arm, and said, "Little Hezi, help me back to my room."
"Yes." He Xianyu bent over and respectfully escorted Chen Zhuo back to the room.
He handed Shen Zhuo a cup of warm water.
Shen Bazong enjoyed He Xianyu's care with peace of mind, and asked, "Do you know why Xu Yining wants me to be his financial sponsor?"
He Xianyu thought to himself, isn't this just to get him to praise you? He immediately started to flatter her: "Because Brother Shen, you are young and promising, handsome and cool, and your hardware and software equipment are all top-notch for a domineering CEO."
Shen Zhuo was very happy to hear this, "How about I compete with your teacher Xiao?"
This is a fatal question. He Xianyu replied: "You two are on different tracks. You are a domineering CEO, and he is a future movie star."
"Are you so confident in Xiao Qinghe?" Shen Zhuo said sourly.
You have to know that Xiao Qinghe has just got the ticket to the film industry. He is just like the previous traffic, exchanging traffic for resources. On the surface, he looks very glorious, but in fact, he is very empty. If he fails to seize this opportunity and realize the transformation from traffic to acting skills and word of mouth, then he will soon be rejected by the film industry.
"He is my brother after all." He Xianyu read the full article and knew that Xiao Qinghe had extraordinary career luck. He was simply a paradise for career fans.
He Xianyu's light words instantly made the sour bubbles in Shen Zhuo's heart disappear. Unexpectedly, he added at the end, "Although there is no blood relationship."
Shen Zhuo was feeling depressed, so he asked tentatively, "Kid, do you want to fall in love?"
"Do you want to introduce someone to me?"
A sharp sword stabbed into Chen Zhuo's heart, and it was game over for Chen Zhuo.
On the fifth day of National Day, He Xianyu came back from work early. Chen Zhuo was frying tea in the yard.
Yesterday, Chen Zhuo ran deep into the mountains and picked tea leaves from a 300-year-old ancient tea tree. Then, under the guidance of the B&B owner, he made tea by hand.
After fresh tea leaves are picked, they need to go through a series of operations such as withering, killing green leaves, rolling, and sun drying. It is said that this method can preserve the most original aroma of Pu'er tea and bring out the tea charm of ancient tree tea to the fullest.
He Xianyu had no rest during the seven-day National Day holiday and was extremely envious of Shen Zhuo's heavenly vacation life.
"Mr. Shen, when can we drink this tea?" He Xianyu asked curiously.
"Not so early yet." Chen Zhuo invited, "Come to my house directly after you return to Beijing. I'll treat you to tea."
He Xianyu agreed immediately: "Okay."
On the last day of National Day, He Xianyu finished filming in Yunnan. After getting off the airport, he went to Shen's house as planned.
The housekeeper came over to entertain him, and the skin on his face was relaxed because of his happiness. "This is the first time that the young master has brought someone home."
He Xianyu almost fell down listening to the common lines of the domineering butler.
