Chapter 382: Visiting Teacher Chen
"This is it?"
The vehicle drove into the central area of the villa, Lu Ze put down the window and poked his head out, in front of him was a group of villas with appropriate intervals, the style is older than the new villas built today, but the Chinese-style park facilities are full of antique charm, if you don't look at the geographical location and the price that can discourage ordinary rich, it is indeed a good place to retire.
Finally, the car stopped outside a villa in the southeast corner, Lao Song unbuckled his seat belt, walked outside the gate, pressed the video intercom at the door, the piano sounded three times, and an old woman connected the video.
"Master, I'm here to see you. β
"It's Xiaoyuan, come in, come in, I haven't seen you in a few days. β
The electric door is open, and there is a long trip of grape vines as soon as you enter the eye, and the grapes are not yet in season this month, so it is estimated that it will be a little sour, so no one picks them, and large bunches of purple grapes are hung on the vines, making people salivate at a glance.
Entering the compound, Lu Ze also saw the flowerbed greenhouse that he had envied, all kinds of treasures blooming in it, even through the glass, there seemed to be a faint fragrance into Lu Ze's nose, making people energetic, that is called a comfort.
Behind the greenhouse, there is a huge ginkgo tree, as soon as the breeze blows, the leaves begin to shake gently, blowing a tune with a natural atmosphere, all of which reveal two words, comfortable......
The old man was shaking the Taishi chair to enjoy the cool under the tree, and when he saw the car parked in the garage, he didn't get up, but gently fanned the fan, and then picked up the teapot and poured a cup of green tea with wisps of white smoke.
"Xiaoyuan, did Liangliang come with you? Oh, didn't come......"
The old woman in a gorgeous dress walked out of the room, and when she saw that Song Guiyuan didn't bring her son over, there was a hint of disappointment in her eyes, and then she turned into dissatisfaction with Song Guiyuan, and she didn't even look at the gift he was carrying, but nodded to Lu Ze gracefully, beckoned Lu Ze to sit, and then sulked, turned her head and went back to the room.
"Master, don't be angry, this thing is really not bad for me, this is about the final exam, Xiaoliang is tutoring in the cram class, starting from school, including the midterm exam, a total of three times, three times the first in the annual group, if this is the fourth consecutive year, Xiaoxue should really go crazy, now who cares, as soon as I mention taking Xiaoliang out to play, my daughter-in-law is like eating people, tell me that even if the exam is second-to-last, there is a bottom picture and psychological comfort, when the exam is over, I will let Xiaoliang come to live with you for a while, how long will it be, do you think it's okay?"
The old lady's face softened a little, and she didn't enter the house, standing at the door, looking Song Guiyuan up and down, after all, she was still a little unhappy, maybe she felt sorry for the child, and with a little dissatisfaction, she began to criticize Song Guiyuan and his wife.
"They all said to reduce the burden on the child, reduce the burden, and I didn't see how much I lost, you also added the burden on the child's shoulders, and complained that Xiaoliang's grades were not good, and it was piano, calligraphy, It's Go again, and what oil paintings, miscellaneous things are stuffed into him, it's strange that the child can learn well, you have the money to give him supplementary lessons, you also have to see how much the child can learn, since you choose diversified education, don't talk about the child's grades, I think, it's your self-esteem that is wrong, and the participating parents will be criticized by the primary school teacher, so that she can't get off the stage as a university professor. β
"Yes...... Master, you are right, she is too strong, let Xiaoliang learn this and that, and she has to be excellent in all aspects, I can't see it, and I will train her when I get home. β
"Don't quarrel with her, just say that I said it, if she is not happy, let her come to me, why do you behave like this? Okay, put things in the house, young man, feel free to treat this place as your own home, and have no restraints. β
Lu Ze nodded, watched Song Guiyuan give him a look and followed his sister into the house, Lu Ze turned around, walked to Teacher Chen's side, and said hello to Chen Yongbin, who closed his eyes and recuperated.
"Teacher Chen, I'm here. β
"Sit down, treat this place as your own home, don't be restrained, come, drink some tea, and come with me into the shed to give some medicine to the flowers, and give me a day of work today, don't you mind?"
"Yes, just continue to learn some flower raising work with Mr. Chen. β
The purple sand pot is shiny, glowing, at first glance, it is an old object that has been played for a long time, and the tea that flows out of the pot looks in from the spout, and the thick layer of tea stains shows the age of this pot.
Lu Ze raised the teacup, and Mr. Chen poured it seven points full, and the fragrance of the tea was overflowing, and the smell that wafted out alone did not look like the kind of goods that circulated in a large area in the world.
The right hand clenched into a fist, the palm was facing down, and the five fingers knocked three times on the table to express their gratitude to Mr. Chen, and then the tea was put into the mouth, and the teacup was gently placed on the stone table, with both hands on the legs, and quietly waited for Mr. Chen to speak again.
Chen Yongbin lay down on the Taishi chair again, closed his eyes and rested, the pair of large-sized old stuffy tips were made by him, not that Teacher Chen was pretending, but that the two of them were used to communicating like this.
"How's the filming in the UK?"
"It's okay, no shame. β
"That's it, among these juniors, you have ambition and talent. β
Song Guiyuan, who had just come out of the room and was going to greet Teacher Chen, was embarrassed at this time, neither sitting nor standing, so he could only quietly stretch his legs and gently tap on the ground next to the stone bench.
Teacher Chen's words just now were not actually for Lu Ze, but for Comrade Lao Song, as the most unpromising student under Teacher Chen, Teacher Chen has always been very dissatisfied with Lao Song's casual and unambitious attitude.
After all, he is almost forty years old, and he has been under him for more than ten years and almost twenty years, but now he is still filming TV series, and he doesn't even like to take on the work of a movie, Mr. Chen has given him a chance for so many years, but the meat has been fed to his mouth, but he has to eat bran, why don't you make Mr. Chen angry? Although everyone has their own ambitions, Adou, who can't be supported like this, is also the number one scorpion under Mr. Chen's door, and he can't pick out a second person.
He teaches and helps students, not all for himself to be famous all over the world, but more in the remaining ten or twenty years of his life, he can pave the way for these apprentices, so that they no longer have to be controlled by others, and they can be trapped all day long, so that they can straighten their waists and have their own right to speak.
For Mr. Chen, he teaches his students, not only to preach and solve their doubts, but also to ensure the peace and glory of their lives, this attitude is selfish, he never denies it, because he can't be selfless, these students are kowtowing to him, toasting tea, then for Mr. Chen, they are his own sons.
The son is filial to Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu should help his son, isn't it right?
The three of them sat under the tree and didn't speak, Lu Ze was like Teacher Chen, closing his eyes and enjoying this rare peace, until about ten minutes later, Teacher Chen got up and took Lu Ze into the greenhouse, leaving Song Guiyuan alone to play with his mobile phone.
It's not that Chen Yongbin doesn't like him so much, it's purely that when this bastard helped Teacher Chen last time he worked, he broke three flowers that Teacher Chen had managed to raise, and last time, it was also the first time, and Teacher Chen never asked him to help again......
β¦β¦
After the nutrient solution was diluted, it was carried by Lu Ze, and after observing the soil, Mr. Chen also told Lu Ze which pot to water and how much to water.
It seems that the growth of flowers is gratifying, Mr. Chen nodded with satisfaction, and walked towards the next pot of flowers, the two did not say a word except for the communication required for work, and finally talked about the topic.
"At present, your career focus is on foreign countries, which is a good thing, but also a disadvantage, you don't have so much time to participate in the monthly routine internal meetings and participate in the development plan, so you can choose fewer departments, my suggestion is that you enter the theoretical research department, which is also your only choice, in this way, with your experience abroad, comprehensive domestic film industry, put forward some targeted policies, is the most suitable for your work, if you can make some achievements, can really promote the development of the industry, then for your personal status in the film industry, there is definitely a considerable benefitγ β
Mr. Chen's advice is very pertinent, Lu Ze is also constantly thinking, if he really enters the theoretical research department, then his long-term stay abroad is equivalent to going abroad for research and investigation at his own expense, of course, it doesn't matter whether he pays for it or not, the important thing is that he can indeed have a deeper understanding of the operation of foreign film capital through the identity of a shareholder of "Universal Brothers Pictures", which is his advantage.
In this way, if he really puts forward a good suggestion and is adopted by the Electricity Association, it will have a considerable boost to his personal reputation, but this is not what Lu Ze values the most.
Although it is inevitable that there will be some false suspicions of making contributions to the Chinese film industry, Lu Ze, as a Chinese filmmaker, when he really has the opportunity to promote the Chinese film industry to move forward, how can he be willing not to do something?
But he had concerns, only one concern.
"Mr. Chen, I have a situation that I need to explain to you, before that, I invested in a British film company, will this have any impact on my employment?"
Chen Yongbin was not surprised by this, but he was more or less surprised, but he didn't expect that in more than a year, Lu Ze relied on himself, climbed out of the trough, and won the Berlin actor, not to mention, he also invested in a foreign film company, and fought such a beautiful turnaround.
After staring at Lu Ze carefully for a few seconds, Chen Yongbin shook his head, bent down again, looked at his precious flowers, and answered Lu Ze's question.
"This is a good thing, this can allow you to observe the operation of the foreign film industry more closely, and will be trusted by more people for the feasibility of proposing a plan, you don't have to worry about this, as long as you still hold Huaxia's ID card, and you are also a party member, you can also say a Chinese outside, admit your Huaxia people, this kind of investment will not become your handle, but will become your help, this flower is less watered, too much water is easy to burn, good...... Stop. β
Slowly pour the nutrient solution into the root of the flower, and after the amount is enough, screw the bottle back again, Lu Ze's heart also let go back, just looking at this somewhat old back, the gratitude in Lu Ze's heart is indescribable, this old man who has nothing to do with himself, but he has helped himself so much unconditionally, such kindness, even Lu Ze, it is difficult to express it in words.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen. β
Lu Ze is poor in words, but his feelings are sincere, Chen Yongbin can also understand Lu Ze's true feelings from it, smiled gently, and patted him on the shoulder.
"I once said, you are a talent, not only in terms of performance, whether it is a person or a person, or doing things, you have your own set of codes of conduct, which is also what I like you the most, the bottom line is there, kindness is there, ambition is there, and the sense of responsibility is also there, with these, in fact, the level of performance or something, it doesn't matter, okay, even if your task of this small job is over today, let's go back, tomorrow you follow me, to visit other leaders of the Electricity Association, although entering the Electricity Association is a stable thing, but the face is also in place, canvassing or something, just a littleβ¦β¦β
"Teacher Chen, you said. β
On the way back, Mr. Chen picked up a broom and gently swept the dirt back into the flower bed, Lu Ze wanted to help, but he waved his hand and refused, and kept cleaning the path.
"I'll take you to visit other leaders, after all, some teachers are unknown, and there is no name between the two of us, and I'm not too embarrassed to speak, so I'm going to accept you as a student, what do you think?"
