Chapter 43: The Past

"Beauty, please serve me two more portions, not three servings of Yangzhou fried rice, but a large portion. Thank you. Zhao Yongqi quickly finished pulling a large plate of fried rice in front of him at a speed that was difficult for ordinary people to achieve, and then waved his hand to the waiter standing quietly behind him.

Although he enjoyed the big boy's bright smile, the waiter was even more amazed by his appetite. By now, not counting those dishes, he had eaten three large plates of fried rice.

Ever since Zhao Yongqi said, "Then you're welcome", the guests who were dining at the same table and Lu Hao were completely shocked by his powerful eating aura. They suddenly felt that they were already full just by watching him eat.

Taking advantage of Zhao Yongqi's temporary pause in the terrifying eating, Li Chen sighed: "Xiao Qi, I really admire your parents. They were able to raise you, and I can already understand the hardships involved. ”

After drinking the chicken soup in the bowl in one go, Zhao Yongqi let out a sigh of satisfaction, and said with a smile: "That's not enough." When I was a child, I grew up in an orphanage, and although I didn't eat anything good, I still had enough rice, and I wasn't so good at eating it at that time. ”

Although Zhao Yongqi said it very lightly, and he didn't mind at all between his eyebrows, Li Chen's face was still stiff: "Orphanage......?

"Well, I'm an orphan, and I don't know what my parents look like since I was a child. Chewing the chicken in his mouth, Zhao Yongqi nodded calmly.

Everyone was suddenly a little moved when they heard this, and the eyes of the three girls were even more radiant with love, obviously the brilliance of motherhood was constantly gathering.

"Why are you looking at me like this?" Zhao Yongqi glanced at the silent crowd strangely, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, but it's just an orphan." When I was a child, I would have minded a little, but now I don't feel it at all. Besides, the grandma of the director of the orphanage is very kind to me. Growing up, I didn't feel like I was missing anything. ”

"Xiao Qi, this shrimp is delicious, eat more. The baby, who was sitting on Zhao Yongqi's left-hand side, directly pulled a whole plate of shrimp in front of him into his plate.

"Thank you baby. Zhao Yongqi, who did not refuse, immediately set off.

"Yes, yes, many times. Liu Yan picked up the fried eel slices and put them directly in front of him.

"It's delicious, too. Ma Su picked up Zhao Yongqi's rice bowl and filled him with vinegared fish fillets.

Zhao Yongqi, who was constantly agitated by his cheeks, said with a smile: "Thank you, the taste is really good." ”

"Come on, Xiao Qi, this chicken bone is also delicious. Deng Chao stood up with a wicked smile, picked up the leftover chicken bones in front of him and made a gesture to put them in Zhao Yongqi's bowl. But before he could act, he was forced to retreat by the murderous gaze of the three women.

"Uh...... Well, I'll eat it myself. Deng Chao, who sneered and didn't have the courage to confront the three daughters, silently put the bones into his bowl. Anyway, it was his own leftovers.

Zhao Yongqi didn't mind at all, he smirked and watched Deng Chao take a deflated look, and the others gave Deng Chao a merciless laugh.

Liu Yan, who was sitting on the right side of Zhao Yongqi, put down the chopsticks in his hand and said softly: "Xiao Qi, if you don't mind, just tell us about your past." ”

"Before?" Zhao Yongqi touched the bridge of his nose, thought about it and said, "Actually, there is nothing to say." Ever since I was sensible, I have lived in an orphanage. Originally, when I finished junior high school, I didn't want to continue studying. Because you also know that orphanages must not have much money, and compulsory education is fine, but from the beginning of high school, tuition fees are very expensive. But the dean's grandmother disagreed, forced me to finish high school, and even asked me to continue college. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Yongqi drank another bowl of soup and said with a smile: "Huh...... And then I just ran away. After all, the tuition fee of tens of thousands of yuan a year in college is not something that the dean's grandmother can afford. What's more, there are many younger brothers and sisters in the orphanage. If I keep it, the dean's grandmother will definitely raise money for me to go to college, and I really can't afford this kindness, and I don't have the face to accept it. So, I just ran away. ”

"Well, although I didn't go to college, I would be glad if the venerable dean's lady knew about your current situation. Lu Hao sighed, and everyone nodded along with him.

"Haha, let's not talk about how good or bad things are now, at least I can make a lot of money now. For the first time, Zhao Yongqi said with some excitement: "In the past, I could only send back a few hundred yuan every month, but now it is completely different, even if it is to renovate the orphanage." ”

Speaking of which, everyone finally understood why when they first met Zhao Yongqi, he was wearing a T-shirt of dozens of pieces, holding a dilapidated mobile phone and computer.

"Xiao Qi, if you renovate the orphanage, will you count me in?" said the baby with a slight pleading.

"Well, yes, count me in. Deng Chao slapped the table and said loudly.

The others spoke one after another, without the slightest hint of resistance.

"Thank you. Zhao Yongqi smiled gratefully, but shook his head and said: "It is my lifelong dream to let my younger brothers and sisters live in a house that does not leak wind and rain, can have air conditioning in summer, and can have heating in winter, and I want to complete it myself." Of course, I don't mind if you buy something delicious and fun, and I think my younger siblings will be very happy. ”

For a moment, everyone only felt that the smile of the big boy in front of them was so bright and dazzling, and behind this light, there was too much strength and hard work.

"After that, where did you go?" asked Ma Shu with interest after a slight silence.

"After that, I went to Hengdian Film and Television City. Zhao Yongqi's face was slightly embarrassed, and he said with a little shyness: "Because I don't have any education, and then I can't find a good job, and then I heard that making movies is very profitable, so I went directly to the film and television city." It's just that I didn't graduate from a film and television school, and I couldn't participate in any official shooting. So I can only run the trick there, and this run is two years. ”

"Running tricks?" Wang Julan said in surprise: "Your image, you have been running tricks for two years? Are all the directors of the film and television city blind? If you walk around Hong Kong Road, it is estimated that there will be a bunch of talent scouts handing you business cards." ”

The crowd was also amazed. It is understandable to say that Zhao Yongqi's work and film and television are completely incompatible and are buried in an unknown place. But in the film and television city, there is no director who has never taken a fancy to it, which is also too strange. After all, his appearance is not comparable to those so-called small fresh meat.

"Not really. Speaking of this, Zhao Yongqi seemed a little silent, thought for a moment, and then told the past of his acquaintance with Xiao Baozi.
