Chapter 16: When Contradictions Emerge

Man never knows, surprise and fright, which one will come first, just as man cannot predict when good or bad things will come. Shen Linglan had a strange dream at night, and in the middle of a dream, a person told her this, maybe dreams can not be taken seriously, but some words that suddenly appear in dreams are indeed more and more flavorful. Shen Linglan in the morning was woken up by a phone ringing, took the phone and saw that it was Gu Hengzhi, yawned a few times and picked up the phone and said, "You'd better have something urgent", Gu Hengzhi chuckled in a low voice, felt Shen Linglan's annoyance, and choked with a smile: "Where is such a big temper early in the morning, I see that you are in Haijin, do you have time to have a meal together?", Shen Linglan was still half-asleep and half-awake, and he casually coped with the "uh-huh" when he listened to the phone, Gu Hengzhi was also a person who climbed on the pole, and continued: " Then let's say okay, see you at six o'clock in the evening", Shen Linglan listened to him say the time, and the arrangement was clear, and then he suddenly woke up and said: "What? How do you know that I am in Haijin", Gu Hengzhi only rolled his eyes when he heard it, and said unhurriedly after drinking the glass of water in his hand: "Do you remember that the circle of friends you posted last night still has a position?" , Shen Linglan scratched his head, opened his circle of friends, felt that the corners of his eyes were twitching, last night on the windowsill looking at the night scene with few people and good lighting, he took a picture and sent it to the circle of friends, I didn't expect that someone really paid attention to the location, Gu Hengzhi listened to Shen Linglan silently, and deliberately teased: "Hey, you didn't send the location yesterday to seduce me", Shen Linglan pretended to retch, and said: "Why do you suddenly eat together? When the time comes, go back to the imperial capital and talk about it!", Gu Hengzhi said: "There are surprises, absolutely a good thing" , Shen Linglan didn't seem to be very interested, turned over on the bed and said, "Don't be scared", Gu Hengzhi "tsk" twice, felt Shen Linglan's indifference, and thought about it: "It's not interested in anything to do with your studio?", Shen Linglan sat up from the bed with a "pout", and Ma Li said: "Okay, come and pick me up." Gu Hengzhi hung up the phone, and couldn't help but laugh at himself a little in his heart, Shen Linglan was so focused on the studio and Lu Yuanxiu, and he didn't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing. Shen Linglan hung up the phone, and after washing up, he saw that the time was less than ten o'clock, and the time to go out for a meal was just right, so he went to knock on Lu Yuanxiu's door. It took about three minutes to knock before she saw that Lu Yuanxiu's face was not very good, and the moment she opened the door, Shen Linglan smelled the smell of cigarettes and alcohol coming from Lu Yuanxiu's room, she turned her head to look at Lu Yuanxiu and said, "What happened?" Lu Yuanxiu shook his head and said: "It's okay, I'm hungry, I drank too much and smoked two puffs of cigarettes", Shen Linglan saw that he was afraid that he didn't have much energy to go out to eat with her, and sighed lightly: "Tell me if you have anything, I'll go buy something, come back and bring you some, what do you want to eat?" , Lu Yuanxiu looked at Shen Linglan for a long time, until Shen Linglan patted him on the shoulder again, and he reacted and said, "Oh, you can do it", and after speaking, he directly closed the door, leaving Shen Linglan confused at the door.

In the evening, Lu Yuanxiu came out of the door, just saw Shen Linglan who was dressed properly, and asked: "Where are you going?", Shen Linglan looked at this "god" one day and finally moved his nest, one day to see his state not to say expensive, but how much he was a little worried, hurriedly walked over and said: "There is something to go out", Lu Yuanxiu raised his eyebrows and said: "Don't eat together", Shen Linglan shook his head and said: "You eat, I will come back late at night, go to bed early, we will go back to the imperial capital at eight o'clock tomorrow morning" , Lu Yuanxiu nodded and didn't speak again. He went down to the second floor, Shen Linglan went directly to the underground garage to find Gu Hengzhi's car, and looked at Gu Hengzhi's appearance standing in front of the car, not to mention that because he was tall and thin, it was really a little eye-catching. Shen Linglan walked over with a smile and said, "Happy New Year", Gu Hengzhi didn't answer, opened the co-pilot's door and let her sit in, and then sat in the driver's seat. When Gu Hengzhi was driving, Shen Linglan was still touching up her makeup next to her, for fear that there would be a little flaw, Gu Hengzhi couldn't help laughing, and said: "In the cabinet in front of you, there is a box, you take out that", Shen Linglan opened the cabinet as he said and said, "Do you want to use something?" After opening the cabinet door, Shen Linglan looked at the exquisite yellow gift box in the bread, and took it out lightly and said: "It's a little good-looking, where are you showing mercy?", Gu Hengzhi "tsk" With a sound, one hand let go of the steering wheel, bent his ten fingers and knocked on Shen Linglan's head and said: "As far as you think about it, give you a New Year's gift, open it and take a look", Shen Linglan and Gu Hengzhi are also familiar, and it is really inappropriate to twist and say no, and said while opening: "Then thank you, your New Year's gift will be made up for you when you return to the imperial capital", Gu Hengzhi smiled and said nothing. Shen Linglan untied the ribbon of the gift, opened the upper lid, and saw that there was a Chanel elegant packaging inside, and when he opened the packaging inside, he saw that it was a bottle of perfume, which was a single item that Shen Linglan liked very much. Before she could speak, Gu Hengzhi said to herself: "I don't know what girls like now, the shopping guide said that this is a popular model, I bought it because I saw that the packaging was quite good", Shen Linglan opened the small lid on the perfume and pressed it gently, the smell was like a freshly sprouted flower bone, unassuming but showing vigorous vitality everywhere, the elegance of jasmine and the clarity of iris came to the face after smelling, which made people feel relaxed and happy, Shen Linglan smiled lightly, as if he was immersed in the fragrance, and said after a long time:" I like it very much, you can already become a teacher with a gift for girls", Gu Hengzhi said without a straight face: "Nonsense". The two of them chatted all the way to a restaurant with Haijin specialties, and after parking the car and getting out of the car, Gu Hengzhi said: "The one who took you to see is my aunt's cousin, and I have to call my aunt according to my generation, a distant relative, she is the casting director of a studio here in Haijin, and he asked me if I knew anyone to introduce to her for the New Year's dinner", Shen Linglan patted Gu Hengzhi's back and said: "There are good things to think of me, only you", Gu Hengzhi disdainfully "cut" and said: "You make money and don't give me flowers"

"If you marry me, I won't give you flowers"

"If you have the ability, you can marry, if you marry, I will marry"

"You dream, marry you will starve to death"

"You fart"

"Slightly, you hit me"

"Shen Linglan, you wait for me"

The two of them took the elevator all the way to the box so noisily, and before entering, Shen Linglan tidied up and asked Gu Hengzhi: "Is this okay", Gu Hengzhi gave her an "ok" gesture speechlessly, and pushed the door open. The fashionably dressed but elegant woman in the house, when she saw Gu Hengzhi, she hurriedly greeted her, and then after several people sat down together, Gu Hengzhi introduced: "This is my cousin", and then pointed to Shen Linglan to the woman and said: "Shen Linglan, Lu Yuanxiu's agent", Gu Hengzhi's cousin nodded and said, "Let's order first", Gu Hengzhi ordered a few dishes casually, Shen Linglan didn't know much about Haijin dishes, so he didn't intervene, after ordering, Gu Hengzhi said: " Aunt, if you have anything to say, just tell Linglan, if she can do the master's thing, it will be the best to finalize it directly." , That woman is a very smart person, although she is Gu Hengzhi's cousin, but because of the close relationship between the two families, she knows more about Gu Hengzhi, when she was in high school, Gu Hengzhi and her daughter were in the same school, and she sometimes picked up two children together, where have I seen Gu Hengzhi so attentive to girls for so many years, so she is usually a strong woman who is still vigorous and resolute in her attitude towards Shen Linglan is absolutely gentle and gentle, how to say it, Shen Linglan herself is a person who does not give people any aggressive looks, and she is born with a good impression, it is difficult for people to be fierce to her, so it just so happens that both compartments have made her cousin lose her domineering in the past, took out the script and handed it to Shen Linglan and said: "I have two dramas to be selected, this one will start filming in mid-April, the male protagonist script, campus love, and the other is the Republic of China script, two male protagonists, one of which has not yet been decided, I quite like Lu Yuanxiu, and I want to talk to you after the New Year, Hengzhidu has found you first, it's really a good thing" , Shen Linglan took the two scripts, looked through them, thought about Lu Yuanxiu has never taken the style of youth campus dramas, his face does not look like a high school student, although the script is attractive enough, but if it is not suitable for his own personality, it will ruin the script, although the other script is a Republic of China drama but gets rid of the traditional anti-Japanese theme, more to show the appearance of heroes in troubled times, solve all kinds of unfair treatment of Chinese in the concession, kill widows, rob the rich, and practice benevolence, although the ratings of this type of film are not necessarily higher than that of pure love campus dramas, but the overall positioning is also a new challenge for Lu Yuanxiu, Shen Linglan raised his head and asked"Who is the other male protagonist of this Republic of China drama?" "Zheng Jingyan" Gu Hengzhi's cousin immediately said: "It's been discussed", Zheng Jingyan This person Shen Linglan knows, he was a first-line artist two years ago The traffic has always been high, whether it is himself or his team, he has always been the object of praise, such a person is only beneficial and harmless to Lu Yuanxiu, Shen Linglan immediately clapped and said:" I think this is another leading actor in the Republic of China, we Lu Yuanxiu can try it, if you can give him a chance, it will be great for him", Gu Hengzhi's cousin nodded very agreeably: "I have always felt that Lu Yuanxiu is quite suitable, it would be great if you could finalize it here" , another script is actually quite like fighting for Xu Chuen, but people didn't open their mouths, she directly said that she also felt a little bit of inch, not to mention that Xu Chuen had never picked the leading role of the beam, her acting skills still need to be tempered, just think about it. Shen Linglan took the contract from the man's hand and was going to go back to Lu Yuanxiu to sign, it's not that she can't sign it, it's just that she can't make the decision unilaterally in this kind of thing, although Lu Yuanxiu will not refuse generally, but the right to know on the "surface" still has to be there

After a few people finished eating, Gu Hengzhi's cousin asked Gu Hengzhi to send Shen Linglan back, Shen Linglan felt that someone had given him the role of an artist, and he should have a meal, so he naturally settled the account when he went downstairs, when the two of them came out, Shen Linglan saw Mrs. Lu, who was Qin Yu, and there was a woman next to him, Gu Hengzhi blurted out: "Mom?", the woman next to him didn't seem to hear it, the two of them walked out by themselves, Shen Linglan was stunned for a moment and said: "That's your mother next to you?", Gu Hengzhi nodded and said: " Next to her is Lu Yuanxiu's stepmother, do you know?", Shen Linglan nodded stiffly and asked, "Why did they eat together?", Gu Hengzhi waved his hand indifferently and said: "That woman didn't come out for her own man, there are still few things about collusion between officials and businessmen, just 'shh' know it", said and quickly pulled Shen Linglan away, Shen Linglan still thought in his heart: Such a bold word is said in a grand manner, we don't know if Gu Hengzhi is missing a string in his head, or he trusts her too much.

At about half past ten, Shen Linglan arrived at the hotel where she lived, and told Gu Hengzhi that she would leave the next day, and Gu Hengzhi asked her if she needed to give anything, and Shen Linglan refused. Shen Linglan was in a very good mood today, when he happily went upstairs with the contract and was about to go back to the house, Shen Linglan saw Lu Yuanxiu with a gloomy face at the door of the house, Shen Linglan didn't notice Lu Yuanxiu's low pressure at first, opened the door with the room card and let him come in: "I just talked about a script for you today, can you see if you are interested?", Lu Yuanxiu said without yin or yang: "What did you get in exchange?", Shen Linglan's eyes widened and said: "What are you talking about, it's Gu Hengzhi's relative" , Lu Yuanxiu took Shen Linglan's bag, took out the contract that was rolled up and inserted into the bag, looked at it and said: "Why should you give me the play with Zheng Jingyan? You are above Gu Heng? He will give you this line?" Saying that, Lu Yuanxiu stepped forward, pinched Shen Linglan's chin and said: "I said I would marry you, but I married you cleanly, not such a philistine Shen Linglan", Shen Linglan was taking a deep breath angrily, he couldn't help it, and pushed Lu Yuanxiu away fiercely: "You are a dog, right? Don't say that I'm clean now, I haven't done anything out of the ordinary, even if I have, it's all for you Lu Yuanxiu to have a good way out, sell me for you", Lu Yuanxiu "cut" and said: "I asked you to do this? So you admit it?", Shen Linglan didn't want to talk nonsense with him anymore, gritted his teeth and said: "Get out, you get out of here", Lu Yuanxiu sneered twice, slammed the door and left......
