Chapter 123: Envy

Mu Dushi came to Donglin City to work on that one, and he had to meet the producer surnamed Jiang the next night, and it may not be too early after the end, so he asked Zhao Cheng to buy a ticket back to Beicheng the next day.

Zhou Youning arrived at the hotel the next afternoon, did not meet Du Shi, put down his luggage and went out, only informed Du Shi on WeChat, and did not tell anyone where to go.

Du Shi stayed in the hotel and waited for her, seeing that it was getting late, but there was no news of Zhou Youning for a long time.

Zhou Youning made an appointment with someone at half past seven in the evening, and now there is only one hour left before the appointed hour.

In order to cooperate with Du Shi, the other party booked a place on the other side of the river, and only needed to cross the bridge, but Du Shi didn't know where Zhou Youning was going, and she didn't know when she would arrive, so she called Zhou Youning, and she didn't answer until she hung up automatically.

Du Shi asked, "Youning, where are you?"

"You go first, I'll come later. Zhou Youning deliberately suppressed his voice, slightly hurried.

The background sound is a little noisy, mixed with sharp and continuous "You stop for me", "Do you hear" and other women's shouts, there seems to be someone next to him to persuade him, and the atmosphere is chaotic for a while, and the noise makes people's nerves tense and give rise to a bad premonition.

Just as he was about to ask what was going on, Zhou Youning suddenly raised his voice and couldn't bear to roar at people: "It's over, isn't it?......!"

There was a loud slap on the ground, and Du Shi instantly felt the air freeze and the air pressure sink.

But in an instant, Zhou Youning had already cleaned up his tone and hurriedly repeated to Du Shi: "You go first, don't let people wait, I'll be there later." ”

The phone hung up like this, and Dusch looked at the interface to end the call, recalling the argument and slap on the other end, and the tip of his heart trembled with unease.

For a moment, she was thinking about canceling the meeting, and Zhou Youning made her worried.

But from Zhou Youning's point of view, he may not agree with her to do this, the identity of the other party is there, even if he doesn't consider cooperating in the future, he must also consider whether he will offend the woman and the man behind her, so it will have an impact on Meng Yankai's work network.

She has put on her makeup, and all she needs to do is change her clothes and go out.

When I arrived at the place, I learned that the producer was very careful, and chose a niche high-end Western restaurant, located in a Western-style western-style house building by the river, with private VIP parking spaces, and almost no need to worry about being recognized by onlookers.

When she met the producer, Dusch found that he was very different from what she had envisioned.

I thought that the other party would be at least a few years older than her, and then there would be some of the usual temperament of a wealthy businessman's wife.

However, the other party is a young woman who looks about the same age as her, with the gentle femininity of unpretentious, and at the same time the intellectuality of a mature woman.

In Zhou Youning's eyes, it will probably be classified as a "soft persimmon with insufficient Taoism".

The box door opened, and the other party stood up, smiled at her lightly, and was polite and decent: "Hello Miss Du, I'm Jiang Ruo." ”

Du Shi glanced at her, quickly concealed the surprise in his eyes, and responded softly: "Hello, long waiting." ”

After sitting down, Du Shi explained that Zhou Youning had a sudden emergency and couldn't leave, and it might take a while to arrive.

Because they had to wait for Zhou Youning, they didn't open for the time being, and two women who were not very familiar with each other sat face to face, and the other party first started the topic from Du Shi's recent movies and talked about some things in front of and behind the scenes.

Jiang Ruo spoke softly and slowly, her tone was not slow or hurried, which made people feel comfortable and relaxed, she asked and answered, which would not seem to be talkative, but also made people can't help but follow the rhythm of her conversation, and it was easy to unconsciously take off her guard.

After chatting for a while, Du Shi looked at the time, and said in his heart that if Zhou Youning didn't come again, would people be impatient?

Maybe Jiang Ruo didn't mention the cooperation because Zhou Youning hadn't arrived.

There was a faint sound of the piano flowing in the box, which could not only reconcile the atmosphere, but also not disturb the volume of the guests' conversation, and Du Shi's stomach screamed for a while, like a muffled thunder. Zilang literature

It was also a coincidence that Jiang Ruo had just finished responding to Du Shi's question about where to have fun in Donglin City, when she heard Du Shi's stomach screaming, pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Why don't I order you a dessert or soup pad first?"

Du Shi smiled happily and said, "Okay, thank you." ”

Jiang Ruo gave her two choices, and naturally talked about the last time she and her husband came to eat here, she had tried a certain signature dessert, and suggested that she try it too.

Du Shi shouldn't have asked too much about other people's private lives, but Zhou Youning said that Jiang Ruo's husband had an unclear relationship with Du Shengyi, and he caused a lot of unpleasantness, so in her impression, Jiang Ruo's husband is an out-and-out scumbag image.

But at this moment, Jiang Ruo seemed to have a good relationship with her husband, which made Du Shi a little curious, and in order to prevent the other party from chatting about work so quickly, he asked her: "How long has Producer Jiang been married?"

As she spoke, she subconsciously looked at the wedding ring on her finger.

Jiang Ruo said: "According to the calculation of the certificate, it has been four years. ”

Du Shi thought to himself, this seems to be something in the words, what if it is not counted according to the license?

She smiled, not quite asking, so she just asked, "Do you have children?"

"I have a son who is more than a year old. When Jiang Ruo said this, his expression revealed a bit of mother's unique tenderness.

Du Shi looked at her with a hint of envy.

Rumors come and go, who knows whether it is true or not, from Jiang Ruo's demeanor and expression of her husband and children, she knows that she has a good relationship with her husband and wife and a happy family.

People in the world are always like this, the more they lack something, the more they care about it, and the more attention they pay to it.

Du Shi just ate two bites of dessert, Zhou Youning arrived, a pair of old fritters in the workplace, came up and greeted people, what a long time to look up to, you have been waiting for a long time, the key is that it is also very natural and friendly, and it will not look greasy.

She remembered the quarrel she heard on the phone before, she had never heard Zhou Youning speak in such an angry tone, and even received a slap.

Look at her now, she enters the game like no one else, bends her smiling eyes, and talks with people beautifully.

Du Shi smiled silently, she often felt that Zhou Youning had a manly temperament, but she was a woman herself and understood women, so she could generally eat both men and women.

Several people discussed and ordered the food, and Du Shi asked for a steak, which was medium-rare.

When the dish came up, she was also hungry early, the dessert did not quench her hunger, obviously the cream melted in her mouth, and the taste was also very sweet, but she was tired of panic after eating a few bites, and her stomach was uncomfortable.

It wasn't until she smelled the faint burnt aroma of the steak that her palate was instantly aroused, and she could even smell lemon juice and cheese.

After cutting the steak, the meat is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and the meat is bright red after cutting, after she saw the faint blood in the meat, she paused for a few seconds, and suddenly her stomach turned upside down, and she was so disgusted that she couldn't help but want to vomit, she immediately picked up a napkin and covered her mouth.

Zhou Youning asked her, "What's wrong with you?"

Her throat moved, she felt something coming up, and she wanted to endure it, but she felt that it was too unsightly to stay at the table like this, so she immediately got up and said, "I'll go to the bathroom." ”

Zhou Youning looked at her hurried back, combined with her reaction just now, he probably guessed the reason.

She turned around and made eye contact with Jiang Ruo, and the two looked at each other.

Zhou Youning cleared his throat and smiled a little helplessly: "How long did you say that movie will be turned on?"

Jiang Ruo poured a sip of wine worriedly: "It's still in preparation, I originally wanted to say that I can adjust the schedule later and wait for Du Shi to finish filming Ning Tian's play, it seems that it ...... at present."
