Chapter 43: News
Lin Jianguo was drunk.
When holding the wine glass to each table to toast, there was no ambiguity at all in the face of the persuasion of relatives and friends.
Usually at this time, his mother would stop him, and did not stop him, silently following him to toast together, and when he returned to his seat, he asked the waiter to pour a glass of white sugar water for Lin Jianguo to drink, and slowly patted his back beside him to help him soothe him.
"He's been holding it for too long, and it's okay to get drunk once. ”
Facing Lin Qirong's worried gaze, she said this, her voice trembling a little.
Lin Qirong knew what she was talking about, and in order to provide him with college, the whole family almost gave everything they had, and it was not easy to persevere.
The children of other relatives and friends will go out to work outside to earn money after finishing high school, technical secondary school or even junior high school, not only do not need to bear high tuition and living expenses, but can also send back some money.
Therefore, the Lin family has not been able to buy a property in the county until now, and most of the neighbors in a village have moved out and become a city person.
However, he did not have a high income after graduation and could not help his family well, which also led to the cynicism of relatives and friends, intentionally or unintentionally, thinking that Lin Jianguo smashed the pot and sold iron for his children to go to college It was a wrong practice, and it was too taken for granted, and the children in the countryside should go out to work as soon as possible.
Now, all this has finally changed, and Lin Jianguo's grievances for many years are vented in this glass of wine.
If you don't get drunk, everyone gets drunk, that's why her mother indulges him to get drunk like this.
Lin Qixiang was also drunk, smiling in the middle of a group of friends and classmates, and pulled him to introduce him to his friends.
"This is my younger brother Rong Zai, who works in Shanghai and starts a company. ”
There was pride in his tone.
Looking at their curious eyes, Lin Qirong had no choice but to pour a glass of wine and toast with them.
"Don't listen to my brother's nonsense, it's actually just doing some hard work, and finally I can help my family.
My brother may do something in the future, and I ask you to help me a lot, after all, he still has a lot of things he doesn't understand. ”
"Of course, it should be. ”
Lin Qixiang's classmates and friends clinked glasses with him and laughed, and their eyes showed a hint of discoloration.
Compared with the honest Lin Qixiang, his younger brother is much more sophisticated, perhaps because he works in Shanghai and has a wide range of knowledge.
Such a person, Lin Qixiang said that he has opened a company to do business, which can be believed.
Getting rid of the persuasion and entanglement of a group of relatives and friends, Lin Qirong took Lin Yitong to Feng Tiejun's table and sat down.
"Drinking a lot?" Feng Tiejun asked with a smile.
"It's fine. Lin Qirong shook his head, "It's just that I don't usually drink much, and I can't stand it." ”
"Then let's drink tea, we don't discourage alcohol, we're all old classmates, there's no need for this, you can drink it alone after you want to drink." ”
Zeng Xinyi poured a cup of tea and put it in front of him and said softly.
"Thank you. Lin Qirong smiled and greeted her.
Zeng Meiren said this, we originally planned to get the talented man drunk, but now we don't have a chance. ”
Liu Jiansheng said with a smile, his tone full of ridicule.
"I can accompany you if you want to drink, as long as you dare to drink. Zeng Xinyi was as gentle as water in front of Lin Qirong, but she was very strong in front of Liu Jiansheng.
"That's it. ”
Liu Jiansheng instantly turned into a turtle with a shrunken head.
"You're still dead. Feng Tiejun pointed at Liu Jiansheng and said with a smile, "You also know how much Zeng Meiren drinks, but you still dare to provoke?"
Lin Qirong looked at Feng Tiejun in surprise.
"Don't look at her gentle as water in front of you, but she is a well-known Iron Lady in our county, especially the amount of alcohol, she is indispensable to the government's reception task, and she will make the guests satisfied with the drink every time. ”
"Nasty, you're describing me as an alcoholic. Zeng Xinyi stomped her feet and said.
Lin Qirong glanced at Zeng Xinyi and said with a smile, "It's good to drink a good amount of alcohol, but you should pay attention to your body, and drink less or less." ”
Zeng Xinyi glanced at him in surprise, with a hint of redness in her eyes, "I didn't expect you to learn to care about people, it's really flattering." ”
"Will it?" Lin Qirong shrugged his shoulders and smiled bitterly, "Is the image I gave you very cold?"
"It's not like to be cold, but it's okay if you don't care about people very much. Feng Tiejun said, "At that time, in addition to studying, there may be only Wutong left in your eyes, Zeng Meiren has always been in love with you, but you have never ignored her." ”
Looking at Zeng Xinyi's resentful eyes, Lin Qirong could only touch his nose and smile bitterly.
"Speaking of Wutong," said Fang Kun on the side, "it should be the most regrettable, she is the most beautiful and famous person in the history of our school and even our county." ”
"Why did you mention this?" Feng Tiejun complained to him.
Because Lin Qirong's face on the side had sunk.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot. Fang Kun hurriedly said, picked up the wine glass on the table and took a big sip.
"It's fine. Lin Qirong shook his head, "It's been a long time, people always have to look forward, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes. Feng Tiejun nodded, "It's good that you can think so, we were also frightened when we heard the news, how could such a thing happen?"
Lin Qirong shook his head, and when he saw Zeng Xinyi on the side looking at him and Lin Yitong beside him with a strange look, his heart couldn't help jumping, and he hurriedly changed the topic.
"Come, let's have a drink, I should go back to Shanghai tomorrow, it is estimated that it will be difficult to come back." ”
"So fast?" Feng Tiejun clinked glasses with him and said in surprise, "It's only been about a week." ”
Lin Qirong sighed, "I have a job, I can't help it, I'm not as chic as you, and I'm very stressed every day." ”
In fact, in the past few days, he has often received phone calls, in addition to Xiao Yunfang, Hu Mei and others reporting the progress of the work, it is mainly Qiao Feng asking about the script, it is said that Hongfeng Satellite TV intends to hold a meeting recently, and screenwriters who intend to compete for the next season's program ideas will participate.
In addition, Wu Qingsong also called once, after intense preparations, "The First Half of My Life" is ready to be officially launched, and he hopes that Lin Qirong can go over and talk to the actors about the play.
Because the screenwriter knows best what is inside and what needs to be shown in each character.
So, even if he wanted to continue to stay at home for a while, it would be impossible.
"That's right. Feng Tiejun said, "You earn a lot in big cities, but the work is also hard and the pressure is also great, and we are not self-motivated in small cities, and our small life is not bad." ”
Lin Qirong smiled, "Each has its own good, and each has its own bad, in short, it depends on what the individual thinks, right?"
"Then I wish you a smooth journey and a smooth work. ”
"Thank you. ”
Zeng Xinyi came to his side when she toasted with Lin Qirong, and whispered in his ear, "Tongtong is Wutong's daughter, right?"
Lin Qirong was shocked, and barely stabilized the wine glass in his hand so that it didn't spill.
"Looks like I guessed right. Zeng Xinyi said in a low voice, "Is it Wutong's illegitimate daughter?
With your character, this kind of stupidity is done. ”
It turned out that she just guessed that Tongtong was Wu Tongyu's daughter, but didn't she guess other possibilities?
Also, Wu Tongyu was a star at the time, how could he have an intersection with himself? No matter how big Zeng Xinyi's brain was, he would never have thought that the truth would be like this.
"Okay, I won't say it, you can rest assured. Zeng Xinyi said faintly, "From the past, you only had a sycamore in your eyes, and there was never my existence, even now." ”
Lin Qirong smiled awkwardly, it is not appropriate to say anything at this time, especially since Zeng Xinyi is already famous.
The next moment, Zeng Xinyi said something he had always wanted to know, "I know that you have never forgotten Wutong, so you should be curious to know why she committed suicide, right?"
"You know?"
Zeng Xinyi shook her head, "I don't know, but I know where her family is." ”
Lin Qirong's eyes froze, if he knew why Wu Tongyu jumped off the building, the clearest thing to know was naturally her agent Zhao Ping.
As an artist's agent, it is naturally impossible to know nothing about the cause of Wu Tongyu's death.
Wu Tongyu would jump naked from that hotel, and the ghost believed that he committed suicide.
Then there are her family, such as her cousin and her parents.
Especially her cousin, as the only relative who knew that Wu Tongyu was pregnant and accompanied her to give birth to a child in a foreign land, should be the most likely to know the cause and effect.
If you can find them, you may be able to find what you want to know.
His voice was a little hoarse, "Can you tell me?"
Zeng Xinyi nodded, "Yes, but you have to promise me that you must not investigate this matter casually, although I don't understand, but I know that the water in the entertainment industry is very deep, and I don't want you to have an accident." ”
Lin Qirong nodded, of course he understood that this matter was not so simple, there was no absolute certainty, and he would not contact Wu Tongyu's family.
Zeng Xinyi said, "After Wu Tongyu became famous, she moved her family away, although it was very confidential, but I happened to have a friend who handled this procedure, so I probably know a little bit." ”
She softly named an address, a city not far from Shanghai.
"Thank you. Lin Qirong firmly kept this address in his heart and said gratefully.
"You're welcome. Zeng Xinyi smiled, beautiful and moving.
"Hey, how long are you going to bite your ears?" Feng Tiejun joked with a smile, "Zeng Meiren, don't have illusions, a genius is still a genius, and he won't be tempted by you." ”
"I know. Zeng Xinyi glared at him fiercely, "He's leaving tomorrow, do I have to do it?"
Regarding her ability to change her face, Feng Tiejun could only raise his hand and surrender.
"Thank you. ”
Lin Qirong raised his glass and said with a smile, "I wish you all a smooth work, and I wish our friendship to last forever." ”
"A genius is a genius, and what he says is good. ”
Several people laughed and clinked glasses and drank them all.
