Chapter 15 I want to play phone PL...
Holding the phone, Bai You was quiet for a long time.
He was a little unsure whether Meng Qingyan's words were sincere or false, or maybe he was just teasing him because he was in a good mood.
It's like teasing a cat or a dog.
Without tone, no matter how ambiguous the text is, it seems a little cold.
Bai You didn't want to waste time on this, so he just made the call.
"Teacher Bai." The person on the other end picked up the phone. Meng Qingyan's voice was low and hoarse, as if he was drunk.
Bai You couldn't help but recall the voice and tone of his voice when he spoke in her ear that night.
It was not until this moment that Bai You suddenly realized that there was a time difference between the other side and his side.
It would be really rude to call it back at this time.
What if there was someone in Meng Qingyan's bed and was frightened to death by the phone call? That would be a joke.
Bai You was inexplicably amused, but he spoke even more politely: "Sorry, I'm calling you at this time. I hope I'm not disturbing you."
"No." Meng Qingyan seemed to laugh, very lightly, and the sound brushed over the microphone, as if it was brushing Bai You's earlobe without any distance.
A slight itch rose from the ear and spread little by little.
As if he knew what Bai You was thinking, he said, "There's no one else in my bed."
Bai You: “.”
"Besides, if it's Mr. Bai, it wouldn't be a bother if he came over at any time."
Bai You adjusted his sitting posture and couldn't help but be a little dazed. It turned out that Meng Qingyan would speak nicely when facing him.
"Teacher Bai?" Meng Qingyan's hoarse voice came from the other end of the line again, sounding a little lazy. "Why don't you say anything when you call me?"
He paused, "Could it be that Teacher Bai suddenly had the idea to play phone play with me?"
Bai You: “…”
He was probably blind and deceived just now, so he looked up to Meng Qingyan.
"Isn't America open and free?" Bai You retorted, "Since you are so thirsty, why don't you tell me your hotel and I'll pick someone who is equally thirsty and send you there?"
"Forget it, I only have Teacher Bai in my eyes," Meng Qingyan smiled, and then sighed softly, "Teacher Bai is always energetic when he talks back to me. If there is a next time, we must talk back while doing it, it will definitely feel very different."
Yes~
This man didn't tell the truth at all, and he couldn't even spit out ivory from a dog's mouth. Bai You was too lazy to talk to him anymore.
Besides, it was almost dawn on the other side, and Meng Qingyan was drunk, so it was not a good time to talk nonsense.
On the phone, Meng Qingyan's voice was not as demanding as the text, as if Bai You could easily negotiate whatever he said.
"I promised Aunt Xiao and Uncle Jin two days ago that I would go home for the Lantern Festival," Bai You said without beating around the bush, "Do you think we can postpone it for two days?"
There will be a script reading on the 17th day of the first lunar month, and after it’s over I can just take Meng Qingyan home for dinner.
However, when they were in the ward, he did promise to be available at any time, Bai You added.
"If you insist on Lantern Festival, then I will try to find a reason to refuse the Jin family."
There was another chuckle from the other side, and Meng Qingyan's voice came over, seeming to be tinged with a bit of weariness.
"Teacher Bai is so cute," he said, "I just drank a little today and was thinking back to the intimate feeling I had when I hugged Teacher Bai that night, so I wanted to send a message just to make fun of her. Why, did Teacher Bai take this seriously?"
really!
Bai You was angry and hung up the phone.
At around five o'clock in the afternoon, the western sky was dyed a bright red.
Bai You finished typing the last few lines of the character biography and stood up to prepare dinner.
The phone rang again. It was Cheng Gao, his college classmate from the Film Academy.
Bai You is actually not very familiar with his classmates.
In the first half of her freshman year, she was busy promoting Fenghua, and later she took on Leng Ka Fei. After that, she gradually became silent. Then the news that her mother was someone else's nanny came out, and her classmates naturally became distant from her.
However, Bai You was not unfamiliar with Cheng Gao.
He is developing well in the circle and should be in the stage of transitioning from the third or fourth tier to the second tier.
"Hello, Cheng Gao." Bai You picked up the phone, feeling a little confused.
He had very little interaction with his classmates, and the last time they met was when they returned to school to go through graduation procedures.
They haven't been in touch with each other for two years since graduation.
Only once did Bai You happen to see a picture of their classmates getting together on Weibo.
"Old classmate, long time no see," Cheng Gao's voice came from the other side, very intimate and enthusiastic, "After the Lantern Festival this year, we have a class reunion, come together?"
Bai You smiled, feeling very bored in his heart.
But the entertainment industry is a circle of right and wrong, and few people can do whatever they want.
Moreover, he had just obtained good resources, but he turned around and rejected his old classmates.
Those who know him say that his classmates distanced themselves from him first, while those who don’t know say that he became complacent and looked down on others.
It may have a very negative impact on both him and his work.
Over the years, no one knows the power of public opinion better than Bai You.
Putting down the mushrooms in his hand, he asked, "Which day?"
"The 16th day of the first lunar month." Cheng Gao said, "I heard that you had a script reading on the 17th day of the first lunar month. You should not have gone out of town."
I understand it quite clearly.
Bai You smiled: "No."
After a while, Bai You received the location information sent by Cheng Gao.
It is a very private theme restaurant, and many celebrities have checked in there.
Jin Baobao, Ye Zhiqiu and others had been there before, and the prices were naturally very high.
After the Lantern Festival, the New Year is left far behind.
People from all over the country go to work and school, and the streets are bustling with traffic again.
On the evening of the 16th day of the first lunar month, Bai You arrived at the restaurant on time.
But after entering the box, he found that there were only six or seven classmates present.
And these six or seven people are all classmates who have developed well in the circle.
As for the others, probably because they were slowly lost in the crowd and never made a name for themselves, they were not invited from the beginning.
In an instant, Bai You felt even more bored.
"Come on, Bai You." Seeing Bai You, Cheng Gao immediately stood up and pointed at the other students at the table, "Everyone has been talking about you."
Bai You exchanged a few pleasantries, sat down in an empty seat, and asked, "Is there anyone else who hasn't arrived yet?"
"Everyone else is busy, and some classmates can't be contacted," Cheng Gao said, "It's just us today for now."
"Baiyou," another male classmate joked with a smile, "Awesome, buddy, you got a big one without making any noise."
"Of course," Cheng Gao said, "In this circle, being good-looking is an advantage."
Bai You smiled but didn't comment.
"You can't say that," the female classmate interrupted, "Bai Bai's performance during Fenghua was already very good."
"You see, you female classmates are biased," Cheng Gao said, "you call us by our given names. Calling Bai You just means Bai Bai, it's so intimate."
Everybody was laughing, and someone called the waiter in, saying that they should take a group photo while everyone had their makeup done and were not yet drunk.
After taking the photos, they uploaded them to Weibo.
Although none of them were famous, the total number of fans of everyone at the table was not small. Soon, their phones started vibrating one after another.
Hot comments appeared quickly, with some people being surprised that Bai You was also their classmate, and some people were licking the screen crazily.
[Oh my god, Bai You is so beautiful. I stared at Bai You for a long time before I barely noticed who the others were. 】
Cheng Gao read on his phone and couldn't help but emphasize his point again: "Let me tell you, in this circle, appearance is still everything."
Fortunately, the food came quickly, and everyone put down their phones and chatted about each other's current situation while eating.
At first they were still humble to each other, but after a few drinks, the topic began to change.
Someone bought a car, someone bought a house, someone met an investor, someone is likely to receive a book in the future...
Occasionally, they would talk about classmates who were not as good as they thought, and they did not hide their sense of superiority to each other.
Bai You couldn't help but remember a sentence he had read before: The so-called class reunion after graduation is essentially for showing off, showing off cars, showing off houses, and showing off money.
As expected.
Bai You wanted to just go through the motions and then leave, but soon the topic turned to him.
"Where is Bai You?" someone asked, "Where did you buy a house?"
"Is there any need to ask?" Cheng Gao said, "Our area is well developed, so it must be a prime location."
At that time, Bai You was holding a cup of water and drinking it. Hearing this, he raised his eyes with a smile.
"I'm still renting a house," he said bluntly. Considering that everyone might ask about his car later, he also answered, "I haven't bought a car either. I just took a taxi here."
There was a subtle silence at the table for a moment, and Cheng Gao immediately and tactfully resolved the situation.
"Now that we have Building No. 8, are you still worried about not having a house or a car in the future?" he said.
"Yes, Bai You is lucky," another male classmate consoled him, "Based on Meng Qingyan's eye for selecting books, Building No. 8 will definitely be a hit."
"The main investor is Mr. Zhao," a female classmate also sighed, "He never makes a mistake."
"I'm so envious of Bai Bai," the female classmate said with envy, "I can work with Meng Qingyan."
"Meng Qingyan is not easy to get along with. He is cold and arrogant," a male classmate said, and also advised Bai You, "You have to be careful when getting along with him. Don't offend him by accident."
Bai You smiled and expressed his gratitude.
"It's mainly because they have the capital to be proud," said another person, "The rich young man can be so successful in just having fun, which makes me proud too."
He seemed a little unconvinced and wanted to say something, but when he saw Bai You, he swallowed it back.
"Do you think he has been cast in the movie directed by Liu Ben?" another female classmate asked, looking at Bai You, "Does Bai Bai have any inside information?"
"I also found out from the news push." Bai You told the truth.
"It's probably an insider information," said a male classmate. "I don't know why the big directors love him so much."
He paused, lowered his voice as if telling a joke, "The boss of our company even went to Los Angeles to visit Director Liu, but he didn't even see him."
"Li Meng?" Someone asked in surprise, "You haven't even seen him?"
"Who said it wasn't true?" the classmate continued, "Who knew that he would have dinner with Meng Qingyan right away, tsk tsk..."
"By the way," he said, looking at Bai You, "It seems that Wei Enquan from your company also went there, but also came back empty-handed."
"Tsk tsk tsk, it has to be Meng Qingyan."
"There's nothing I can do. Success depends on luck. You can't envy someone for it."
"Bai Bai," the female classmate asked again, "How is Meng Qingyan?"
"We're not that familiar with each other," Bai You said. "We only met for a script reading, but he was very professional."
Although he can argue with others face to face, Bai You is not good at talking about others behind their backs.
Moreover, he and Meng Qingyan were indeed not very familiar with each other.
“…”
As the delay progressed, it was already past ten o'clock. The table was littered with cups and plates, and everyone paid their bill.
Before leaving, everyone held Bai You and told him not to forget his old classmates when he became rich and powerful, and not to forget to take care of his old classmates if Building No. 8 exploded.
Knowing that Bai You came here by taxi, Cheng Gao did not forget to hold his hand when he left and insisted on taking him back.
Bai You found a reason to refuse, but Cheng Gao was persistent.
Bai You could only say, "I happen to have a friend nearby, and I've already made an appointment to take his car back."
As they were talking, the noisy voices around them suddenly quieted down.
Bai You raised his eyes, and his gaze unexpectedly met the dark eyes of Meng Qingyan across the hall.
Unlike in the past, Meng Qingyan was dressed in formal attire today.
His leather shoes were shiny, his suit was straight, his shoulders were broad and his legs were long, and he wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose...
So handsome and cold that it's almost intimidating.
Following behind him was his assistant Zhu Heng. Seeing the group of people opposite, Meng Qingyan turned around and said a few words to Zhu Heng.
Zhu Heng left, but Meng Qingyan walked over here.
His eyes fell on Cheng Gao's hand that was holding Bai You. Cheng Gao was shocked and his hand loosened unconsciously.
It was not until this moment that Meng Qingyan raised his eyes and looked at Bai You.
"Leaving?" he asked.
Bai You: “…”
Everyone: “…”
No, who just said that he was not familiar with Meng Qingyan?
Cheng Gao: Ah? It turns out that the so-called friend who gave Bai You a ride was Meng Qingyan? !
