Chapter 7 Sometimes Asking Questions Is Not Done To Get Answered
"Western or Chinese?" Ji Zhiheng asked as he looked at Yu Pan'an's expression through the rearview mirror. She didn't have any expression on her face at this time, and after hearing his inquiry, she replied lightly, "Chinese food." ”
Ji Zhiheng turned and drove the car in the direction of his favorite Chinese restaurant.
Because the road was a little congested, it was not early when they arrived, and both of them were hungry, so they ordered a few quick dishes, and then waited while drinking free tea. In between waiting for the dishes, Ji Zhiheng said, "I'll apologize to you for Geng Jiao first." She really went too far last time. ”
Yu Pan'an was burned by the tea, and subconsciously pursed her lips, but in the current situation, it seemed that she was unhappy. "It's okay, there won't be any intersection in the future anyway. ”
Ji Zhiheng didn't know if she said that there would be no intersection in the future, whether she didn't have an intersection with Geng Yao or didn't have an intersection with him, and he didn't know what to answer for a while, so he didn't answer. Fortunately, it was past the meal, and there were few people in the store, so the dishes came up quickly.
While eating, Yu Panan said politely along with the topic just now, "Actually, I should have given Aunt Wei a no, her time is so precious, she kindly took the time to invite me to dinner, but I left so quickly." Hopefully she won't be mad at me. ”
Ji Zhiheng smiled helplessly, "Where, and even if she is angry, she is angry." Speaking of my mother, I think she really likes the way you look, and it's not all because of Uncle Yu. ”
"Like me?" Yu Pan'an was a little confused, "No, Aunt Wei and I met last time, and last time...... As you know, the last meal wasn't very pleasant. ”
"So I'm kind of wondering. Ji Zhiheng said, "My mother is a real strong woman, and she will not match me with a daughter for business." So I didn't figure it out this time, anyway, it seems that she likes you very much. ”
Yu Panan lowered her head to eat, thinking: That's really terrible, once I bind to her as a duo of beating mandarin ducks, I will be a completely vicious female second, and there will definitely be no good end. She should come to dinner with me later, it seems that I will have to find a way to make her dislike me.
"What's the matter, you seem to have a headache. ”
Yu Panan hurriedly shook his head, "No, no." I was just thinking... What are you going to talk about today, isn't that it?" She put a chopstick on the dish closest to her and put it in the bowl, tilted her head and asked Ji Zhiheng. This is also the truth, she doesn't think he would ask her to meet in order to apologize for Geng Jiao - it was not something worth talking about.
"It's not. Ji Zhiheng said, "It's a matter of work." ”
"Work? Do you say that script?"
"Yes and not quite. I invested in that theater when I returned to China a while ago, so I'm not just an actor now, I'm also a shareholder. ”
Yu Pan'an thought: Ah, no wonder he picked the script.
Ji Zhiheng continued, "I liked the script you wrote very much when I saw it, and I found out all the books you wrote before, and they were all well written. Then I asked them and they said, you haven't signed a contract yet. ”
Hearing him say this, Yu Panan understood. "So...... Are you trying to sign me?"
"Well, that's what I was going to do. Ji Zhiheng smiled bitterly, "The original plan was to communicate with money, but when I saw that the other party was you, it was chaotic all of a sudden." You're not short of money. ”
"Don't say that. I'm now independent from my family, and I'm still quite poor. Yu Pan'an originally meant to answer him, "You are not short of money", but after finishing speaking, he thought that he said this as if he was going to agree.
Sure enough, Ji Zhiheng asked her, "Then what do you think, are you willing?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't sign it before because I felt that the contract was too restrictive for me, and I still wanted to be free. Now in addition to the script, I also send out short stories everywhere, but as you know, once signed, I can't send anything in my own name. ”
"I've seen the theater's contract before, and it's really too overlord clause. It doesn't matter, I'm not the one who makes the decision now, but I can still talk. If you can consider signing it, these are all negotiable. ”
Yu Pan'an was silent for a while, and suddenly asked, "Does your girlfriend know?"
"What?"
"You came to me for dinner today and you plan to sign me up, and I don't think she will like us working together. ”
She ...... I don't know. Ji Zhiheng really didn't seem to have thought about this problem. "It's a matter of work, it shouldn't matter, everyone is not a child anymore. ”
Yu Panan rolled her eyes in her heart, thinking: The last time she could directly slap me in front of your mother, let me know that her child's temper is not just a little bit, if you know that we work together in the future, it will be strange if you don't smash the whole theater.
But she just thought about it, didn't say anything, and silently took a bite of food to eat. Ji Zhiheng now seemed to have begun to seriously consider the question she had just said, and did not speak immediately.
After a while, Yu Panan said, "This is not a trivial matter, it must be difficult to decide all of a sudden." Well, let's all go back and think about it, and we'll talk about it later. ”
I have seen a lot of business cooperation with Yu Zaidao, and when I finally reach an impasse, someone must first say "go back and think about it". Live and learn, and she will try it today.
Ji Zhiheng nodded, "Okay." Then I'll send you back later. ”
"No, I'll take the car myself. ”
Both men began to eat in silence, and neither of them spoke again. The scene at this time and the scene when they sat face to face in the cafeteria and ate overlapped across time and space, in the past time and space, they talked and laughed, and in the current time and space, they were silent.
When Ji Zhiheng was about to get up to pay the bill after eating, Yu Panan stopped him.
"Ji Zhiheng, can I ask you a question? It's okay if you don't answer, it's just that this question has really bothered me for a long time, and I really want to ask it. ”
"What's wrong?" Ji Zhiheng stopped his movements and looked at Yu Pan'an, "You ask." ”
"Why didn't you tell me you were going abroad? Why didn't you tell me until you left? I even heard about your whereabouts from others. She asked the question that had plagued her for many years in one breath, but Ji Zhiheng was silent.
Yu Pan'an was not surprised by his silence, she had guessed.
"Forget it. She stood up with her phone and bag, "AA." ”
Leaving the restaurant, Yu Panan felt a lot relieved. Although she didn't get an answer, she finally asked what she wanted to ask, and she didn't have to pretend to be light-hearted.
Regarding Ji Zhiheng's affairs, she has always been very concerned, but she was unwilling to face this before. Because she is the one who has been left behind, if she misses it, she will feel that she is too embarrassed.
Until now, she finally stopped running away from her true thoughts, and probably let go of the first step in the past.
As for that answer, it seems that it has long been less important.
