At ten o'clock in the morning, there were few visitors to this newly opened coffee shop.

In the quiet store, a man and a woman sit in the dark.

Both are dressed in the workplace. The woman looked a little older, glancing at the time between conversations, and her expression was cold, and the man was in a suit and leather shoes, slightly chubby, with a baby face, and looked younger.

Compared with the other party, the man was wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, his figure was a little hunchbacked, and his momentum looked very weak. He glanced at the woman opposite with some anxiety, and finally asked for help in frustration: "Senior sister, it's not that I'm picky, but I really can't do this job......"

"You haven't done it yet, how do you know you can't do it?" Wang Minlin asked. She frowned slightly, and looked at the man opposite with a hint of hatred in his eyes.

"I'm not you. The man said bluntly: "I can't do anything with children, I can't do what you do." ”

He sighed, and explained his most basic reason under Wang Minlin's disapproving gaze, "And you also know in this industry that the lifespan of a child star is only a few years." What child star has been able to last so far?"

"There are still a few people who are child stars who are doing well, but most of them have long since disappeared from the public. The man took a sip of the coffee in his hand, shaking his head and sighing as he spoke.

The man's name is Du Jian, he is 27 years old this year, and he only recently graduated from the National University in District 1 and came out to take up a job. Du Jian and Wang Minlin studied at the same university and got along well, so they are Wang Minlin's more optimistic juniors.

Unexpectedly, Du Jian, who chose to continue his studies after college, chose Red Gate after graduation, and also chose a low-threshold agent career, which surprised Wang Minlin.

Du Jian studied human resources and had good ability, but he lacked training. He originally planned to set up in another position, but unexpectedly, he was assigned to the child star department with a small probability. Not only that, but there are still a few agents assigned to child stars by the company, and after Du Jian was assigned to the department, he became an 'idle' member! Doing trivial things every day, Du Jian is not satisfied with his current work.

The person in charge of a group of child stars happens to be the senior sister I admired in college. In order to seek a job, or to seek an opportunity to transfer jobs, Du Jian found Wang Minlin.

"I can help you ask from the HR department. Unexpectedly, Wang Minlin quickly agreed to his request.

Du Jian looked at Wang Minlin with a flat face in surprise, but he didn't expect her to be so easy to speak.

Seeing his reaction, Wang Minlin glanced at him, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's just ......" Du Jian smiled stupidly and said, "When you took us in the past, everyone was actually very afraid of you because it was very strict. I didn't really have much hope today, I thought you would scold me. ”

Wang Minlin hooked his lips slightly, as if thinking of the scene at that time, "It's all in the past." ”

There was only silence between the two.

Du Jian took a sip of coffee, saw Wang Minlin look at his watch again, and asked, "Senior sister, are you still in trouble?"

"Nothing. Wang Minlin said, "What's wrong?"

- But haven't you been looking at your watch? Du Jian silently swallowed the question back.

Without waiting for Du Jian to speak again, Wang Minlin changed the topic, "Can't you sign an artist for your current position?"

Du Jian smiled and replied, "Not really." But the conditions are limited, so let me take that group of young artists, which is simply to take children. ”

"Don't have a promising seedling?"

"To be honest, there are a few. Du Jian thought for a while and said his thoughts, "The ones in Class A are not bad, and there are also the children in Class K that you mentioned to me last time." But they are all fifteen or sixteen years old, and someone has already booked here, so there is basically nothing to do with me. Compared with signing a child star, an older artist has a better development prospect. ”

Wang Minlin's white and tender fingers lightly touched the rim of the cup, looking thoughtful, "I remember that you used to like to make some adventurous choices, and I thought you would try to challenge it." ”

"It's all in the past. Du Jian replied to what Wang Minlin had just said, and made a helpless expression exaggeratedly.

Wang Minlin glanced at him with a smile, but shook his head helplessly.

Du Jian sighed and slowly put away the smile on his face. His expression was rare and stern, and he said, "To be honest, I don't think Hongmen can cultivate this group of children." ”

"What do you mean?" asked Wang Minlin, whose face remained unchanged.

Du Jian looked at Wang Minlin seriously and said, "Although Hongmen has a heart, he has also invested a lot of energy. But senior sister, you have also seen that the harvest is not proportional to the input. Although there are many child stars, none of them are popular, and the child surnamed Gongsun who is now being held hard is not as good as others in my opinion......"

"You can't say that outside. Wang Minlin suddenly interrupted him and said, "Gongsun Rui doesn't have to be compared." ”

"I understand, I understand. Du Jian responded with a smile and continued the analysis just now, "I have also seen many children in the company, and maybe some of them have the possibility of success." But Red Gate is just starting now, and it focuses on adult artists, and it is difficult to achieve real results in five years. ”

After listening to Du Jian's point of view, Wang Minlin looked pale and said, "I think your view is too pessimistic. There are thousands of children in the Red Gate, and the few who can come out can't be said to be all orbs, but most of them are carved and carved, and they may not be difficult to become big things. ”

“...... For example?

Wang Minlin glanced at Du Jian, who looked disapproving, and lowered his head to take a sip of coffee.

In the morning bright café, the ice beauty smiled slightly at Du Jian, and her calm eyes seemed to be hiding a hint of imminent thought, "I will help you with personnel transfers." But until then, I wonder if you'll want to take a risk?"

"I think there's a jewel here. Wang Minlin said, "Good-looking seedlings lack a good cultivator." Why don't you go and see him before you decide?"

In the city hundreds of miles away, Yu Ran was finishing a period of shooting, and when he got out of the hospital bed where he was shooting, he sneezed violently before his feet touched the ground, and he almost didn't stand firmly.

Someone next to him hurriedly stretched out his hand to help and asked, "Are you okay?"

"Thank you......" Youran whispered thanks. The weather here is dry, and the temperature is not low, so you are wearing a long sleeve, and the sweat behind her is quite uncomfortable. The scene is set in the early spring, and the hospital bed is deliberately placed by the window, and the sun is a little ruthless.

The person who was holding him saw him standing firm and let go of his hand, "It's hot, be careful of heat stroke, go to your uncle's place to rest." ”

"Oh......" Youran was stunned, suddenly reacted, and looked up to see that it was not the crew who was holding him.

The two stared at each other for a few seconds, and the other party finally 'suddenly realized', "I'll take you over!"

You Ran stared at Yu Chaoshu who didn't know why he appeared here, and nodded, "Good ......"

Yu Chaoshu saw it on the day You Ran joined the group, and as for why he was in the crew, Uncle Yu Ran found out that he "starred in this drama in friendship". But even if he doesn't have a role, he always hangs behind the director, and he feels a little idle.

You Ran was helped back to the resting place by Yu Chaoshu as if she were a sick household.

When he sat down on the chair, his uncle was late with the lunch box, "It just so happened that I brought the rice and water......

You Ran glanced at Yu Chaoshu, but saw that he had no intention of leaving, and sat opposite him. When the crew's lunch box was placed on the small table in front of him, Uncle Youran recognized Yu Chaoshu, but he smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to talk, and the three of them were relatively speechless to each other.

Yu Chaoshu's fame has risen in the past two years, and he is in a hot state, and the whole district does not dare to say it, at least his uncle's family often watches TV and criticizes this popular student.

No matter who you are, once you become the object of discussion after dinner, there will inevitably be a steady stream of black spots, and the same is true for Yu Chaoshu. But the discussion behind the scenes is one thing, when faced with real people, the uncle feels that the other party is farther away from them than on TV: this 19-year-old student is dressed in a famous brand, and he is always surrounded by a nanny assistant, who is polite and polite, and his tone is like a rich young master in a TV series.

The eldest daughter of my uncle's family has been obsessed with Chaoshu recently, and she has saved a lot of magazine photos, posters and CDs at home.

But when he observed it privately, he found that Yu Chaoshu usually had a soft expression, but once his face was expressionless, he became a veritable fierce appearance. ――The key is that Yu Chaoshu is tall, the muscles on his body are stronger than many older men in the crew, and his eyes are sharp when he looks at people, I don't know what he intended, but the people being watched are somewhat stressed......

The food on the table smells good. The stomach that had been empty for a long time was protesting, causing bouts of stomach pain, but the young man sat upright with a natural face. The "future enemy" sat opposite, and he had no appetite.

――Maintain an unrelated position in a parallel line with Yu Chaoshu, complete the mission in peace, and seek a survival point, or take the risk, while trying not to destroy the plot, contact the 'protagonist', change your position and seek changes in the future?

When he really came into contact with Yu Chaoshu again, he couldn't make a decision on the balance of the two options in his heart for a long time.

If you choose the former, is it too biased to believe in the system, and if you choose the latter, is there a danger of participating in the plot? After all, in the original work, Yu Chaoshu is not a character who is easy to match......

Youran was still struggling, and Yu Chaoshu on the side took the first step to break the embarrassing atmosphere.

He was wearing a pure white shirt, with a sincere smile on his handsome face, and he didn't seem to realize the faint 'rejection' of the other two people on the table, and took the initiative to talk to Youran, "Your name is Tang Youran, right?"
