Chapter 08: The Past
"Ji Mo?" Li Man thought seriously for a moment, "Like Ji Chen, they are all surnamed Ji Ye." ”
Jiang Qing hurriedly explained, "Miss Li misunderstood, loneliness is lonely loneliness, loneliness is lonely loneliness, not Ji Chen's season." ”
"That's right. Riemann nodded, "It sounds sad." ”
As he spoke, Li Man scratched Ji Chen's jaw again.
Ji Chen looked at Jiang Qing with indifferent eyes, only to realize that Jiang Qing's level of naming was really not good. But when it comes to this, loneliness is loneliness.
The topic quickly shifted, and the three girls began to discuss the restaurant's signature snacks, and when it came to eating, the three women's excitement couldn't be stopped. Ji Chen, who was left out by everyone, had no choice but to silently nibble on his pork ribs and claypot rice.
Coming out of the Goubuli restaurant and parting ways with Jian Yao and Li Man, on the way, Jiang Qing asked about Jian Yao and Li Man, and Ji Chen's words flickered a little.
"You don't have to prevaricate me with those useless words. Jiang Qing said lightly, "Since you want to cooperate, you have to be honest about certain things, such as why Miss Jian Yao knows that you have a scar on your body, and also, you look at Miss Li Man's eyes are very unusual." ”
Being poked by Jiang Qing made Ji Chen a little embarrassed, but fortunately, he was quite thick-skinned, and said curtly: "This scar on my body has something to do with Jian Yao." ”
"Oh?" Although Jiang Qing had guessed it early in the morning, when she got confirmation from Ji Chen's mouth, she still couldn't help but be a little curious, "If you don't mind, you can talk about it." ”
Ji Chen stopped, looked up at the night sky, and then jumped on a long stone chair on the side of the road, and said, "The story is a bit long, are you mentally prepared?"
"Listen up. Jiang Qing smiled softly and sat down next to Ji Chen.
Ji Chen seemed to be reminiscing, and his eyes became a little erratic, "That was a long time ago." I remember that Beihai City was very cold that year, and I was not the CEO of Chinese film and television at that time, but just a small person on the street who was tired of running business. I don't know if it's because there are a lot of people in this business, or if my products don't sell, and sometimes I can't support myself just by running a business. Without three meals, I started a part-time job. ”
"My first part-time job was as a waiter at a steakhouse, and the owner was a fat-brained guy with big gold teeth and a Northeast accent, calling us part-time workers and deducting our wages. At that time, I was young and vigorous, and I couldn't stand this kind of wretchedness, so I quickly left my job. ”
"The second part-time job was in the bubble tea shop, the owner of the bubble tea shop was very good, and he was good to me, but once, because I was on the way to deliver takeaways, the small electric overturned the car and missed the time, which caused those old customers to call the store to complain, and the boss was forced to dismiss me as a last resort. ”
A wry smile appeared on Ji Chen's face, "To be honest, life is far more difficult than I imagined, and this embarrassing situation was not until I couldn't pay the rent, couldn't pay the utility bills, and was swept out of the house by the landlord, I completely realized the cruelty of this society." ”
"I rolled up my bedding and came to the park, intending to spend the night in the park's pavilion. The stars that night were as brilliant as today, and the moonlight was very cold. Ji Chen said, "It was almost late at night, and when I was about to go to bed, I suddenly found that three or five people had gathered under the banyan tree next to me, and they regarded me as a homeless person, so they ignored me and talked about them as if no one was around." ”
It turned out that they were entrusted by others to prepare to kidnap Bao, the new Internet celebrity in Beihai City. Ji Chen explained, "Who is Bao, you should know, right?"
Jiang Qing nodded, "Isn't Ah Bao the number one celebrity in Chinese film and television with the most traffic and gold absorption ability?"
"Yes. Ji Chen smiled, "Before Ah Bao officially joined Chinese Film and Television, she was already one of the top stars in China, speaking of which, she will join Chinese Film and Television, thanks to the incident back then." ”
"Wait a minute, aren't you going to talk about Jian Yao?" Jiang Qing was puzzled, "How did it get to Bao?"
"Don't worry. Ji Chen said, "The reason why I said Ah Bao is because this matter is related to Ah Bao. Do you know that the reason why Jian Yao has today's achievements and status is not only because of her own efforts and talents, but also because of the help of a person. ”
Jiang Qing raised her eyebrows, "You mean Ah Bao?"
"Yes. Ji Chen continued, "At that time, Bao's costume designer was Jian Yao, and in addition to being partners at work, the two were also very good sisters in private. ”
"I kind of get it. Jiang Qing said, "The reason why you have done so much foreshadowing, in the final analysis, is due to the fact that you accidentally heard the words of that group of gangsters when you were in the park." ”
"Looks like you've got a brain. Ji Chen smiled, "Indeed, I made a move out of unevenness back then." Don't think this is a story of a hero saving beauty, the truth is that when I rushed over, I didn't see Ah Bao, only Jian Yao alone, Jian Yao asked Ah Bao to go first, and she stayed behind, because she knew that the target of the gangsters was not her. Don't look at Jian Yao as if she is very weak, she is a veritable seventh-stage taekwondo, and when I rushed there, I helped out. ”
When Ji Chen said this, his expression looked a little embarrassed, "But I still helped Jian Yao block the knife after all." Maybe it's the kindness of this knife, so Jian Yao helped me a lot later, and she has contributed a lot to my achievements today. ”
Speaking of this, Ji Chen looked at Jiang Qing and said, "Now, you understand why Jian Yao knew that I had that scar on my body, right?"
Jiang Qing nodded.
She only knew that Ji Chen was the big boss of Chinese film and television, but she didn't expect Ji Chen's road to success to be so bumpy. As for Li Man, she had no intention of asking again, but she didn't expect Ji Chen to take the initiative to talk about the relationship between the two.
Ji Chen said: "Li Man and I are classmates from elementary school to university, her father is a real estate giant in our Beihai City, the reason why I can make Chinese film and television such a large scale today is indispensable to the investment of the Li family, if you have investigated the background of Chinese film and television, you should know that 40% of the shares of Chinese film and television are her family." ”
Jiang Qing didn't speak, in fact, she didn't know much about Chinese film and television, and originally thought that as long as she got the Philosopher's Stone from Ji Chen's hand, she would be done, but she didn't expect so many twists and turns to happen halfway.
She looked at Ji Chen, since he was open and honest, she couldn't hide it, so she told some specific information about her trip.
And when she mentioned the dark wizard, Ji Chen's face couldn't help but change.
"I've consulted your books, and the records of dark wizards in the books are not very detailed, but they are generally correct, dark wizards are synonymous with malice and destruction. Jiang Qing didn't hide it, "If you change your mind now and want to quit, I have no opinion." ”
