"I didn't expect your speaking to improve so quickly!" After not seeing her for more than two months, Teacher Zhang Lu was surprised again.

Wang Dalun smiled proudly: "In the past 20 days in Cannes, I spoke English to those foreigners every day, and I stumbled a little at first, and slowly began to slip away. ”

"Speaking is about talking, and you need to have a locale. But you can improve so fast in twenty days, I have to say that you are a language genius. As she spoke, Zhang Lu smiled bitterly and said, "With your current speaking level and reading and writing skills, you can communicate and read normally, and I have nothing to teach." ”

Wang Dalun hurriedly said: "No, no. I'm not even at your level. ”

Uh, Zhang Lu glanced at him helplessly, pursed his lips and said: "Actually, your speaking level is about the same as mine, as for reading and writing skills, you only need to look at the original books, write short essays or something, you can improve." Besides, with your current level, I don't think even going to the TOEFL will have any problem. There's no need to ask a teacher to teach you. ”

"I see. Do you know French? I've been listening to the French guys talk about how noble French is, and they let me learn French or something. Why don't you teach me French?"

"I don't know French. Zhang Lu shook her head.

"That's ......" Wang Dalun didn't know what to say for a while.

Zhang Lu lowered his head and remained silent, and only after a while did he raise his head and say, "I know you want to help me, thank you for your kindness." Originally, I just wanted to sue you this time, I am about to graduate. ”

Wang Dalun then remembered that Zhang Lu was a senior at Beijing Foreign University, and he was about to graduate in a month.

"So you've got a job?"

"Found it. Zhang Lu nodded, looked at him again, and said, "After graduation, I will leave the capital." ”

"What? are you leaving the capital?"

Wang Dalun was very surprised, because Zhang Lu was born and raised in Beijing, even if the school was uniformly assigned, according to the principle of where she came from and where she went back, it was impossible for her to go to other places. Besides, after all, there are many opportunities to stay in the capital, and I don't know how many students from other places want to stay these days.

"Well, my teacher introduced me to a job at a translation agency, not in Beijing. Zhang Lu lowered her head and said softly.

Wang Dalun looked at the thin little person in front of her with pity, maybe she wanted to leave the sad place of the capital, just like she would rather wander outside than go back to her hometown in her previous life.

"So, when are you leaving?"

"Wait for the school to have a graduation ceremony, get your diploma and leave. ”

"Oh, by the way, which city are you going to?"

"Zhejiang Province, Hangzhou Prefecture. ”

"What, are you going to Hangzhou?" Wang Dalun jumped up suddenly, and he still had a feeling of congestion, but he suddenly became transparent, and couldn't help laughing: "My hometown is from Hangzhou." ”

Zhang Lu's eyes widened in disbelief, to be honest, she really didn't know that Wang Dalun was from Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. She never cares about anything other than teaching, and rarely talks to her students about anything else. Maybe it was the last meal that made her feel that she needed to say goodbye to Wang Dalun when she left.

"Actually, I'm not a native of Hangzhou in the strict sense, my hometown is in a small county under Hangzhou, called Tonglu, have you heard?"

Zhang Lu shook her head.

"However, it is not far from Hangzhou and Zhouzhou, and it takes about two hours by bus. In the future, when I go home and pass through Hangzhou, I will come to see you, and you are welcome to come to our house to play. I tell you that our hometown has mountains and rivers, the scenery is good, and it is not far from Qiandao Lake, and I can take you to play......"

Wang Dalun said a lot with his eyebrows, Zhang Lu looked at him, listened very seriously, and there was a faint expectation in his eyes.

"By the way, when the time comes, tell me when you leave, and I'll see you off. Wang Dalun continued.

"No need, a colleague will pick me up and go to Hangzhou together. ”

Zhang Lu paused and explained: "Actually, the boss of the translation agency also has a company in Beijing, and I already had an interview last month and interned in a company in Beijing. Most of the colleagues in the company are from Hangzhou, and they often need to go back to Hangzhou, so I will go with them when the time comes. ”

"That's good, then...... Otherwise, I'll go buy some food right away, and you will eat here today, which can be regarded as practicing for you in advance. Wang Dalun thought about it and sincerely extended an invitation.

"Thank you, don't ......" Zhang Lu habitually wanted to open her mouth to refuse, but when she saw the sincere gaze in Wang Dalun's eyes, her heart suddenly softened, and said, "Then trouble you." ”

Wang Dalun was very happy, and hurriedly smiled and said, "It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome at all." I'm going to go grocery shopping, what do you want to eat?"

"Sweet and sour pork ribs, the sweet and sour pork ribs you made last time were very delicious. Since he decided to stay and eat, Zhang Lu was not polite, and ordered a dish with a smile.

"No problem, but what about it?"

"Well, whatever, not too much. ”

That night, Wang Dalun fried several dishes, all of which were good at it, although he also bought wine, but Zhang Lu did not drink it. Perhaps she felt insecure in a man's house, and Wang Dalun did not deliberately persuade her, and the two sat face to face and finished dinner plainly. After that, he sent her to a nearby subway station.

After sending Zhang Lu away, Wang Dalun felt as if he was suddenly relieved. When he learned of Zhang Lu's misfortune, he seemed to have a feeling that he regarded her as his sister in his heart. used to think that she was very bitter, and Wang Dalun felt very uncomfortable. Now that Zhang Lu has graduated and is leaving the capital, it may be a good choice for her. Wang Dalun sincerely hopes that she can forget her pain and start her new life in Hangzhou.

On the way back, the pager in his waist kept calling, and when he took it out, he saw that it was Zhang Yuan's mobile phone number, Wang Dalun hurriedly trotted all the way home and called him back.

"Brother Zhang, what's the matter?"

"Come out tomorrow at noon and have a meal together. ”

"You're back?"

The last time Wang Dalun spoke to him on the phone, he said that he would not be back until next week.

"Well, I finished filming in advance, and I just arrived in the capital. ”

"Okay, then I'll see you tomorrow at noon. ”

Zhang Yuan is very righteous, and the last time he came back from Argentina, he set up several tables. Although he didn't win an award at Cannes this time, the film bought well, and according to his temper, he would definitely gather the brothers to rub it together.

At noon the next day, Wang Dalun came to a small but high-end hotel, which was Zhang Yuan's old stronghold, where Zhang Yuan usually gathered his brothers.

The red Xiali parked at the door indicated that the owner had arrived, and the waiter took him to Mr. Zhang's private room on the second floor. The private room is not big, and the table is also a small table for six people.

"I thought it was a gathering of the brothers in the crew, who else?" Wang Dalun sat down and asked unexpectedly.

Zhang Yuanzheng was sitting leisurely drinking tea, threw a cigarette to him, and said, "No one else, just Lao Zhang and a friend of mine." He is the director of Beijing Film Studio, and he is going to shoot a new drama recently, and Lao Zhang is a photographer. As for you, there's a character in it that I think is quite suitable, so I'll introduce you to you. ”

Wang Dalun understood that he was worried about no filming during this time, so he quickly got up and filled Zhang Yuan's cup with tea, nodded and said, "Thank you, Brother Zhang." Today's meal brother pays. ”

Zhang Yuan couldn't see him as a villain the most, and scolded with a smile: "Get out! If it doesn't work, I don't dare to pack a ticket, and people will see if you are suitable. ”

"That's, that's. Anyway, brother has to thank Brother Zhang for his care. Brother Zhang, you smoke. Saying that, Wang Dalun saluted the cigarette and lit the fire very doggedly.

There are generally two kinds of good friends, one that you don't need to say in your heart. The other kind is like Wang Dalun and Zhang Yuan, the more you don't like something, the more I want to show it to you, just kidding, everyone has fun, but things are also in mind.

"Look at your appearance!" Zhang Yuan smiled and lit his cigarette, and said, "By the way, I'm going to change cars in a few days, so you can drive this Xiali." ”

"Ouch, Brother Zhang, I don't have that much money, do I want to pay in installments?" Wang Dalun scratched his head and said with a bitter face.

"Whoever asks you for money, give it to you. When my new car arrives, we'll go and change my nationality. ”

Wang Dalun didn't expect that he would become a car owner so soon, but Zhang Yuanyuan is generous, it doesn't mean that he has to be thick-skinned, and he can't accept any benefits, so he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Brother Zhang, I understand your kind brother." But this car ......."

"Why, can't you see it?" Zhang Yuan's eyes widened.

"No, no. The main reason is that my brother is ashamed of it, and besides, I don't even have a driver's license. ”

"What? You don't know how to drive?" Zhang Yuan was very strange, "When we first met last year, you changed the tires so neatly, I thought you were an old driver." ”

"I used to learn how to repair cars, and I can drive, but I don't have a license. ”

"Well, why don't you go and get a certificate. I'll find you a friend from a driving school in two days......" Zhang Yuan said, seeing that Wang Dalun was still refusing, he waved his hand and said very seriously: "You listen to me finish speaking, thanks to the help of the brothers this time, "East Palace and West Palace" is selling well abroad, and I, Zhang Yuan, have also made a small fortune. I eat meat alone, and the brothers have to drink some soup, so I will understand what the brothers should mean. As for you, I won't give you cash, just this car. ”

After speaking, he glared at him undoubtedly, and said, "This matter is so decided, don't stop mother-in-law." ”

In fact, Wang Dalun couldn't wait for Zhang Yuan to give him cash, and now he couldn't get the car and sell it, so he had to nod with a bitter face.

Zhang Yuan smiled: "You kid, don't be dissatisfied." The insurance and annual inspection of this car, I just finished it last month, you kid just steal the fun. ”

"Contentment, contentment. Thank you, Brother Zhang. Wang Dalun asked with a shy face: "Brother Zhang, what car are you going to change this time, Daben or BMW?"

"You kid thinks I'm an explosive customer, just a Jetta. Recently, Ning Dai and I are thinking about a play, and we have to run a lot of places, and I am afraid that this little Xiali will not be able to bear it, so I plan to change it. You think I want to show off. Zhang Yuandao.

"Yo, Brother Zhang, it's time to start a new drama again. When Wang Dalun heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

He doesn't care whether Zhang Yuan's movie can be released in China or not. ran two film festivals in a row, and his eyes had already been opened. What's more, he is really working hard and wants to get an actor back. He doesn't dare to hope for the best actor of the three major European film festivals, but other film festivals can always think about it. To be a human being is to pursue a little.

"What to watch, this drama only has a heroine and no male lead, you kid has no drama. Zhang Yuan understood the thoughts of this goods at a glance.

As soon as he heard that there was only a heroine and no male protagonist, Wang Dalun was discouraged, but when he thought of someone, his eyes immediately rolled, and he asked, "Brother Zhang, what is the new drama about?"

Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "At present, I only have one idea, I want to shoot a story about female prisoners in a women's prison, but the script has not been written, so I don't know what to say." ”

Wang Dalun originally wanted to recommend Liu Ling if the role was suitable, but when he heard Zhang Yuan say this, this little idea in his heart suddenly stopped. Zhang Yuan has been preparing for "East Palace and West Palace" for five years, and now who knows that he will not be able to start filming until the Year of the Monkey.
