Lan Xiu came out of the Boya Entertainment building, it was almost ten o'clock, and the aroma of food was faintly wafting in the air, reminding Lan Xiu that he hadn't eaten anything since he got off the plane this morning, and it was already lunch time. Lan Xiu stood at the corner of the street and moved his nose, carefully distinguishing the most attractive of the scents, and followed the smell all the way.

In the alley across the street of Boya Entertainment, there is a very old noodle shop, half of the narrow storefront is occupied by the stove, and the dirt left by the e-liquid cannot be washed off, on the glass door, on the old wooden table, and on the yellowed wall, no passer-by wants to stay, but the smell coming from the steaming cauldron is too fragrant, which is enough to cover up the other shortcomings.

Free-range old hens, simmered over low heat, add green onions, ginger slices, peppercorns, tangerine peel, fennel and other seasonings, is the most simple method, the purest taste cooked.

"Boss, give me a bowl of chicken noodle soup, I want two big chicken legs, don't add greens!" Lan Xiu walked in without hesitation and shouted to the old man who was standing in front of the stove and drinking tea.

"Okay, the kids can sit casually. The boss in a floral apron stood in front of the pot stove with white tiles, said hello, put down the purple sand teapot in his hand, picked up a ball of hand-rolled noodles from the bamboo basket next to him and threw it into the cauldron.

Lan Xiu took a look around the storefront, then sat down at the table farthest from the store for two or two customers. He didn't dislike the mess in the shop at all, his eyes were fixed on the old man who was cooking noodles, and he waited for the noodles to come out of the pot with a look of anticipation.

The shop is quiet, only the sound of bubbles breaking when the boiling water in the pot is steaming, which is cheerful and lively. Time seems to slow down, and in this noisy and cold city, this moment seems particularly peaceful and warm.

But obviously not everyone can appreciate this beautiful mood.

"Smack. ”

The bamboo chopsticks were slammed against the black ceramic soup bowl, and the crunch sound broke the quiet atmosphere of the store. The man in the suit who was sitting with his back to Lan Xiu said impatiently to the fat white man opposite him: "Yu Ziyu, what do you want, don't you want to talk to me?"

The fat man named Yu Ziyu had been eating noodles with his head buried in his head, and the man's sudden outburst startled him, and he trembled all over, and one of the chopsticks in his hand fell on the table. He immediately picked it up, and said softly: "Ajie, if you have something to say, you are a star, you should pay attention to your image outside." ”

"Pay attention to the image and also look at where it is, do you think it is necessary here? Probably no one will believe me Zhang Shijie will come to this kind of shabby place to eat noodles, do you say I am a person who came to this kind of place?" Zhang Shijie roared irritably, what he was most unaccustomed to was Yu Ziyu's cowardly temper, the entertainment industry is a place where he steps on the low and praises the high, fears the strong and bullies the weak, there is such an agent is simply a blood mold, if it is not for his own ability, he will only be bullied to death, where will there be today.

“...... Here, the noodles here are delicious. ”

Yu Ziyu grabbed the chopsticks nervously, he asked Zhang Shijie to come today to keep him and beg him to continue to stay in Haoyang Entertainment Company, but when the words really came to his lips, he couldn't speak, he took Zhang Shijie for seven years, and he knew his ambitions better than anyone else, Haoyang Entertainment couldn't give him a bright future now, how could he stay.

But Yu Ziyu still has a trace of luck in his heart, seven years, not seven days, not seven months, in such a long time, Zhang Shijie, him, and Haoyang Entertainment, how many difficulties have they experienced in supporting each other finally got to today's situation. He thought that their relationship was no longer simply colleagues and friends, he thought that they were more like family, and if they were family, how could they leave ruthlessly for a shortcut.

"Eat, eat, and you know how to eat. Since you like to eat this kind of thing that can't be put on the table so much, then you should eat it for the rest of your life. Yu Ziyu, I finished all the work at hand before leaving, it is already very face-saving for the company, you also have to be a little self-aware, what can you bring me? I am thirty-two years old, and I will not have a chance in my life, I need a work that can be done, it should be a large-scale zuò movie that can win awards, not a vulgar and rampant family ethics drama, nor a low-cost bad movie that is difficult to make a splash, it is "The End of the World" Do you understand such a big system, even if it's just to go in and say a line, can Haoyang Entertainment give me such resources? But Chaoyang Film and Television can, as long as I sign a contract, they will arrange for me to join the crew of "Thunder and Mountains", male number two, do you know?

Listening to Zhang Shijie's ruthless words, Yu Ziyu couldn't help but reddened her eyes, clenched her fists and pleaded with difficulty: "The company doesn't have this ability now, but it will definitely be able to do it in the future." Ajie, you know the current situation of the company, you know that you are still in a coma, you are the pillar of the company, the boss has been kind to you all these years, all the resources are at your disposal, you really can't leave now, the company can't do without you. ”

Zhang Shijie naturally knows how bad the current situation of Haoyang Entertainment is, the two artists who were originally able to do it were him and Ji Mingzhi, but now Ji Mingming knows that he has been in a car accident and is in a coma, and there has been no sign of soberness, many of the negotiated cooperation have been forced to cancel, and some of them have signed contracts and have not had time to complete them, and the other party has already begun to ask for compensation. The whole company is in a hurry, but it has encountered some hostile companies that have fallen into the ground and taken the opportunity to poach, and now several small artists have left, if he goes again, it is estimated that Haoyang Entertainment will not be far from going out of business.

But since ancient times, people have not been destroyed for themselves, staying in Haoyang Entertainment has no benefit to him at all, and may even be defeated together, how can Zhang Shijie be willing, it took him seven years to climb to the third line, how much blood and sweat he paid during the period, he couldn't joke about his future in order to repay a favor.

Zhang Shijie glanced at Yu Ziyu, took a deep breath and stood up: "The company has indeed treated me well over the years, but I have also brought huge profits to the company, we are mutually beneficial, and no one owes anyone." In short, no one wants to be my roadblock, otherwise don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people. ”

"Applejack......" Yu Ziyu opened her mouth to say something, but in the end she was silent.

Zhang Shijie waited for a few seconds, then took out a fifty yuan pen and paper from his wallet and threw it on the table, leaving the noodle restaurant without looking back.

After Lan Xiu finished watching the play, his noodles were cooked, and the boss brought them out and sent them to him, and by the way, he took away the noodle bowl and the fifty yuan that had not been touched at all on the table, and when he put down the change, the boss sighed and shook his head, "Alas, young people nowadays are dazzled by money, and they have even forgotten to be a human being." ”

Lan Xiu didn't think there was anything wrong with the guy named Applejack, in this society where the law of the jungle preyed on the strong, sometimes things like conscience would become the rarest luxury in the world, and not everyone could afford it.

However, compared to the unsatisfactory bowl of noodles in front of me, other things are not so important.

"Boss, didn't you say you don't want green vegetables!" Lan Xiu opened a pair of disposable bamboo chopsticks and complained dissatisfiedly.

The boss completely ignored Lan Xiu's complaints, continued to stand on the edge of the stove with his waist on his shoulder, and said with a teapot: "How can there be no one who doesn't eat vegetables, children need to eat more vegetables to grow well, I specially added more to you." ”

"I won't pay more!" Lan Xiu said angrily, holding a noodle with chopsticks and vegetable leaves, and stuffing it into his mouth.

Well, the taste of the noodles is really authentic, each noodle is chewy and chewy, the chicken thighs are delicious, the meat is very tender, and it feels great. With such a good taste, even if there are a lot of disappointing vegetables in the bowl, it can't affect Lan Xiu's good mood at all.

After eating a bowl of noodles, Lan Xiu grabbed the remaining chicken leg and took a bite, looked up and saw that the white fat man opposite had wiped away his tears and was packing up his things to leave, so he beckoned to the other party with a smile, "Mr. Yu, can you come over for a while, I have something to talk to you about." ”

Yu Ziyu has been immersed in the doldrums, and he didn't notice Lan Xiu from beginning to end, and when he suddenly saw Lan Xiu at this moment, he was instantly shocked, and the two lumps of flesh on his shocked cheeks trembled, pointing to his nose and stumbling and asking, "You, you, call me?"

"Well, please come over here. Lan Xiu nodded affirmatively, and took another bite of the chicken leg in his hand.

The action of holding the chicken leg in his hand and gnawing should have been very vulgar, but Lan Xiu was stunned to eat an elegant style, and Yu Ziyu was stunned for a moment, he walked up to Lan Xiu with some trepidation, and did not dare to sit down, only stared at the oily chicken leg and asked, "Is there anything wrong with me?"

"Ahh Lan Xiu swallowed what was in his mouth, raised his hand and motioned for Yu Ziyu to sit down, then he took a tissue from the tissue box on the table and wiped his hands, and after sitting down seriously, he said to Yu Ziyu, who was even more worried: "My name is Yi Lanxiu, and I am currently preparing to become an actor, Mr. Yu is the agent, right?"

"Yes, I'm Yu Ziyu, the agent of Haoyang Entertainment. Yu Ziyu's two almond eyes widened, and he seemed to have understood what Yi Lanxiu meant. But Yi Lanxiu's conditions are really good, with such a good-looking face, any company will be happy to praise him, so Yu Ziyu is a little uncertain, after all, everyone who pays attention to the entertainment industry now knows that Haoyang Entertainment is facing a huge crisis, and normal people should not dare to approach them.

"Then do you have any artists under you?" Lan Xiu asked, looking at Yu Ziyu.

"No, no, the people I brought are gone, and you saw it just now. Yu Ziyu hurriedly shook his head, and the two lumps of meat on both sides of his cheeks also shook twice, looking at the indescribable Coke, Yu Ziyu's expression looked as if he was about to cry again.

"What a coincidence, your surname is Yu, and you look like a little goldfish, very cute. Lan Xiu said with a smile.

"Like a goldfish?cute?!" Yu Ziyu opened his mouth in surprise, his nickname since he was a child was the fish roster, but really no one ever said that he was like a fish, he has always been compared to some kind of animal that only knows how to eat and drink.

"yes, so I think you're very pleasing to the eye and want to give you a chance to sign me. ”

"Ah, you really want to sign a contract with me!" Yu Ziyu grabbed the strap of the satchel and hesitated, but said honestly: "But our company may go out of business, and it will be no good for you to follow me." ”

"Of course I have benefits. You just need to think about signing me or not, I just got the second male lead in the TV series "Ethereal Sword" today, and I heard that this drama is very good. ”

"What?" Yu Ziyu jumped up from the stool, and he didn't care if his back hit the corner of the table behind him, what did he hear, the second male of "Ethereal Sword"?!!!

"So I urgently need an agent to help me negotiate a contract, and I just met you, so I don't have to worry about finding a company. ”

Of course, this is a lie, Lan Xiu will look for Yu Ziyu, one is because Yu Ziyu's appearance makes him happy, and the other reason is because this brokerage company called Haoyang Entertainment sounds like it is about to go out of business, in this case, he joins Haoyang Entertainment It is a kindness in the snow, and when he brings the company back to life in the future, then he is the boss, and he can't bind him with a contract, which is much better than joining those big and strong entertainment companies.
