8. Chapter 8
The Qin family goes to work at 9 a.m. every day, and in view of the congestion in the morning rush hour, the Qin family's breakfast is usually 7 a.m. Qin Hua's grandfather, Qin Tian, is from the south, although he left home a long time ago and came to the north, his childhood habits are still difficult to change, so the Qin family's breakfast is usually porridge with various refreshments.
Before Qin Tian passed away, he usually sat at the head of the table, Qin Hua's father Qin Chuanzhi and mother Zhang Yun were on the left and right, and Qin Hua sat on the bottom of Qin Chuanzhi. Qin Tian passed away two years ago, and this position has not changed.
Qin Chuanzhi likes to flip through the newspaper at breakfast time, and Zhang Yun likes to watch the morning news on the TV hanging on the wall of the restaurant.
The morning news is usually a bit harsh, but there is always something interesting, such as the crown prince of a European country getting engaged to a commoner girl and deciding to have a wedding at the royal palace in two months.
"Oh my God, among those princes in Europe, he is so good-looking, he is actually engaged!" Zhang Yun looked a little sad, but she was sad for only three seconds, she suddenly put down her chopsticks, looked at Qin Chuanzhi, and said, "Mr. Qin, let's go to the wedding!" β
'Mr. Qin' is Zhang Yun's nickname for Qin Chuanzhi, and I have to say that a few decades ago, how romantic was such a title.
But Mr. Qin Qin Chuanzhi was rarely enthusiastic about Zhang Yun's construction, he still looked at his newspaper, didn't raise his head, and said, "Very good mention, has the wedding card sent to you by that rare and good-looking prince?" β
"Of course not, he didn't know I wanted to go." Zhang Yun said.
"Two months will pass quickly, you better hurry up and let him know that you are ready to deign to attend his wedding, and let him send you the wedding card quickly." Qin Chuanzhi said: "But remember to apologize to him for me first, I definitely didn't mean to make you the only woman who was alone at his wedding." β
"Why? Won't you go with me? Zhang Yun said: "We haven't had a vacation for two years. β
Having said this, Qin Chuanzhi finally put down his newspaper, looked at Zhang Yun, and said, "Because Mr. Qin has not taken a vacation for two years, and it is estimated that there will be no vacation in two months." β
Having said that, Qin Hua, who had been pretending to be transparent on the side, also had to put down his chopsticks. So the long foreshadowing is just to urge him to go to work in the company after returning to China for more than a month, right?
"Hua'er, Mom and Dad are definitely not urging you to go to work." Zhang Yun reached out from the opposite side to hold Qin Hua's hand that put down the chopsticks.
"Absolutely not, you have a good rest at home, and the company will be handed over to Dad, and Dad is not hard at all!" Qin Chuanzhi's gaze was extremely firm and sincere.
"I can't go straight to the headquarters as soon as I join the company, it will probably take some transition period, but I will think about which branch to go to first and go to work in a week." Qin Hua said: "No matter what, you can arrange a vacation in two months." β
Even if it is an only son, many fathers don't like to delegate power to their sons too early, but the situation of the Qin family is a little different.
More than 20 years ago, when Zhang Yun decided to marry Qin Chuanzhi, although Qin Tian's business was doing well, it was far from being as brilliant as it is now, and in that era, the status of doing business was still very low. This incident was inconceivable at that time, and Cheng DΓΉ was no less than Huang Zixing committed suicide as a man today. Zhang Pingzhong was almost mad at the time, and in the end, it was completely because of Zhang Yunqi's reluctance to beg and beg, and he was really soft-hearted and unwilling to agree.
But on the other hand, for Qin Tian, it was a great thing to be able to marry the daughter of the eldest of the men as his daughter-in-law. On the day Zhang Yun entered the door, Qin Tian swore to the sky in front of all the guests that one of the Qin family's qiΔ belonged to Zhang Yun and Zhang Yun's son, and if Qin Chuanzhi was sorry for her, he would drive Qin Chuanzhi out of the door.
Later, Zhang Yun gave birth to Qin Hua, Qin Hua was so outstanding, and Qin Tian liked it so much that the status of his son Qin Chuanzhi was basically squeezed.
Qin Tian didn't regard Qin Chuanzhi as his heir at all, and he was bent on handing over the Qin family to his precious grandson. In this atmosphere, Qin Chuanzhi never thought that he would take over the Qin family one day, that is, he was ready to spend the first half of his life under Lao Tzu, and when his son took over in the second half of his life, he would retire and enjoy himself.
No one thought that Qin Tian would suddenly become seriously ill two years ago, and it was only two months from the diagnosis to his death, and he left a message before he died, firstly, to tell Qin Hua to finish the book, and secondly, to tell Qin Chuanzhi to guard the Qin family for two years!
Now that two years have passed, Qin Hua has graduated and returned to China, Qin Chuanzhi is waiting, waiting, why is there no sign of his son succeeding at all? !
Qin Hua really didn't mean it, he just ......
If he officially enters the Qin clan, there will inevitably be media exposure, and in this case, he will not be his runaway teenager.
Alas!
On Qin Hua's first day at work, the fog was a little heavy in the early morning, and at nine o'clock, when Qin Hua arrived at the door of the company, the fog dispersed, and the golden sunshine sprinkled down.
Stepping on the golden sunshine, Qin Hua walked into the door of Huadian Media. A black fitted tailored suit, shiny black leather shoes, and neat short hair are the standard for business men.
Half an hour later, in the No. 1 conference room of Huadian Media, Cheng Yaonian, general manager, invited Qin Hua forward and introduced: "I would like to introduce our boss to you - Mr. Qin Hua. β
Then when everyone was almost so surprised that they didn't react at all, Cheng Yaonian smiled, rubbed his hands, and said, "I always feel a little strange to introduce it like this." β
If you haven't reacted at this time, you're really stupid, and everyone present immediately applauded, although it sounded a little sparse, but the scene was not ugly.
Qin Hua simply said two words, and then sat down on Cheng Yaonian's side, he would not stay in Huadian for too long, so Cheng Yaonian's position would not change.
The decision to come to Huadian was made by Qin Hua temporarily, so this meeting was not specially held for him, and after a brief introduction, it was the original meeting charter - the preparation of a movie called "Bellflower".
Bellflower is a very famous youth idol drama more than ten years ago, it can be said that it is the originator of Chinese youth idol dramas, whether it is the male and female protagonists or supporting roles, it is now more or less a wrist, the original director Xu Jun is now one of the most well-known directors in China, it is not a coincidence that these people, including Xu Jun, almost all have various film contracts with Huadian, or brokerage contracts.
And more importantly, the original heroine died in a car accident a month ago, and the first time he knew the news, Cheng Yaonian almost saw the box office beckoning to him.
Huadian mainly makes movies, and it may take a year or even longer for someone else's movie to start filming from an idea, but Huadian has basically completed it in a month and is ready to start filming.
However, no matter what happens, no matter how smooth it is, there will always be troubles of one kind or another, and there will be endless contradictions where there are people. On the morning of Qin Hua's first day at work, after a ten-minute introduction, he listened to a war of words for nearly two hours.
Two hours is enough for the scholar Qin Hua to finish half of the already thick dozen essays and a book in the sky of saliva, and only have an outline of the script.
Two hours later, close to twelve o'clock in the afternoon, Cheng Yaonian took advantage of the gap when no one was talking and turned his head sideways to Qin Hua and said, "Mr. Qin is tired, right?" Why don't we take a break at noon? Continue in the afternoon. β
"Huh?" Qin Hua, who hadn't said a word for two hours, looked up from the script, looked at Cheng Yaonian, and then looked around at everyone at the conference table with dry mouths, then smiled mildly and said, "I'm not tired, I haven't been exposed to this aspect of things before, listen to everyone, just learn and learn." β
The crowd was speechless.
"You don't have to worry about me, go ahead." Qin Hua said.
It's close to twelve o'clock at noon, if the word "continue" is said by Cheng Yaonian, there must be a wail below-boss, you are not tired, we are tired!
But this sentence was said by Qin Hua, the boss on the first day of work, and after two seconds of silence, the war of words started again.
Another hour later, at one o'clock at noon, in view of the fact that Huadian's canteen stopped serving lunch at half past one, everyone had a tacit understanding and unanimously closed the silence.
This time, without waiting for Cheng Yaonian to speak, Qin Hua said: "Have you set the audition list?" β
"Nope."
"In this way, I used to always say that I watched a movie with my grandfather, and an hour or two passed at once, but today I realized that making a movie is so difficult, and everyone is very hard."
"It's okay, my job is not hard."
"Well, you go ahead and leave me alone. I'll invite everyone to dinner when I'm done. If you have to go to the toilet, you can go to it. β
For another hour, the hungry room was silent again, looking at Cheng Yaonian at the head of the table, but Cheng Yaonian hadn't opened his mouth yet, and director Xu Jun said: "There has been no result for so long, why don't you give us some advice?" β
"Huh?" Qin Hua seemed to think about it, flipped over the text in his hand, and then said: "I heard that you have been discussing the choice of the heroine, Director Xu has been mentioning Xu Wen, it seems that we have decided to use this girl before, and now she has been banned, so she can't be used, so why was she banned?" β
Why? Because a major shareholder of Xinghui Entertainment named Yao Kehai fell in love with Xu Wen and wanted to be Xiaomi, but Xu Wen was unwilling, so he was blocked.
This kind of thing is not uncommon in circles, but it is always not on the table. When Cheng Yaonian whispered in Qin Hua's ear to explain, Xu Jun smiled mockingly.
Qin Hua has almost never been in contact with this circle, but such things are not only in the entertainment industry, Qin Hua is not surprised. After listening to Cheng Yaonian's explanation, Qin Hua thought for a moment and said: "I think you probably misunderstood Mr. Yao, in my impression he is not such a stingy person, fair lady, gentleman, very normal, or use this Xu Wen." β
And then......
However, Mr. Yao may still not be very happy when he encounters such a thing, especially since he is also a colleague of a friendly company. I remember that this Xu Wen seems to be a child star, so when you look back, you told him that grandpa used to like watching this little girl's movies, so Huadian didn't want her talent to be buried. β
Then......
"For the convenience of follow-up publicity, colleagues in the brokerage department took the time to go to Xinghui, apologize to Mr. Yao, and then sign Xu Wen directly to us, we must tell Mr. Yao, don't give Qin's face, Jiang Wen's contract liquidated damages must be collected."
At last......
"That's it, let's adjourn, if everyone is okay, I'll invite everyone to dinner."
Things have developed to this point, Qin Hua feels that it is not bad, he patiently wasted a morning and a lunch break, and his attitude is gentle and humble, which is enough to show that he is willing to listen, and he does not take the attitude of questioning. It wasn't until everyone took the initiative to ask that they express their opinions, and quickly solved the problem.
β perfect β
However, there was still a little flaw at the end, when Qin Hua got up and was about to leave, Yuan Zongchao, the minister of the brokerage department, stood up and said with some excitement: "Mr. Qin, I think you may not know much about this matter, this time Xinghui officially notified all the companies, TV stations, and media in the circle, blocking Xu Wen, if we don't follow the rules, it will lead to all kinds of problems in our future work, Xinghui is a very powerful company......"
"So to avoid trouble, do we need to buy Starlight?"
Lunch was a little late, after lunch, Qin Hua went back to the company office and sat for a while, got off work at five o'clock, drove back to his small apartment in the city, changed into his Meibang, and went to the east of the city to pack a pot sticker posted by the society in the middle of the night, Shen Qing took revenge on Weibo for the pot stickers posted by the society, and then took a taxi to Zhao Yu's house It was already past eight o'clock.
When Qin Hua entered the door, Zhao Yulai was sitting on the sofa while sewing buttons on his shirt while opening the speakerphone.
"Brother Zhao! You say I'm so lucky! β
It turned out to be a female voice! As far as Qin Hua knows, unless it is work, there are almost no women in Zhao Yulai's personal relationship. But just looking at Zhao Yulai's lazy and lazy state, you can know that this is indeed a private call.
Zhao Yu said: "You called me yesterday, crying like, saying that you were unlucky for 20 years? β
Zhao Yulai would waste time listening to a woman cry!
"Forget about those little things, you know? Today, Huadian called me and said that because their old chairman liked the role I played when I was a child, and asked me if I would like to go to their company? If I want, they will continue to let me play the heroine of bellflower! β
This person turned out to be Xu Wen!
Zhao Yulai: It's a good thing, it seems that you don't have to go to the restaurant to be a waiter.
Xu Wen: And do you know, it is said that it is me who is the little prince of the Qin family!
Is it necessary to say such a thing so clearly to a young actor?
Zhao Yulai: It's time to run, the little prince is said to have done this on his first day of work today.
Obviously, I also invited my colleagues from the company to have a big meal!
Xu Wen: I couldn't believe you when you said I would be popular, but now I believe it.
Zhao Yulai: Well, now everyone thinks that you have a leg with the little prince!!
No! No! No!
Xu Wen: But I didn't know him at all, and I didn't know that Huadian was originally a subordinate of the Qin family.
Zhao Yulai: Why do you care so much, you don't have to be banned anyway. I don't have to bother thinking about how to help you make a comeback.
This woman seems to have a very unusual relationship with Zhao Yulai!
Xu Wen: But I don't know him at all, why would he help me?
Zhao Yulai: Think too much, you! No one to help you. This film is going to catch up with next year's Valentine's Day schedule, and it is expected to start filming next week.
Yes, that's right.
Zhao Yulai: What's more, the director is Xu Jun's cheap person, you are set by him, Yao Kehai said in a word that he would be banned, Yuan Zongchao, a dog who didn't recognize the master clearly, followed him blindly, Xu Ke would not buy their account.
It turned out that there was such a thing inside, no wonder it was noisy for four hours.
Xu Wen: Do you think the little prince has seen me in which film?
I should have seen it, but I don't remember what it looked like at all.
Zhao Yulai: Rest you! Even if he had seen you, it wouldn't have anything to do with it.
Yes, it just doesn't matter.
Xu Wen: How do you know that it doesn't matter half a dime, it's not good to say this.
Zhao Yulai: Xu Wen, people are mixed in society, it doesn't matter if you are stupid or stupid, but what you are most afraid of is taking yourself too seriously.
The girl probably cried when she hung up the phone.
Xu Wen: Brother Zhao, what did you say......
Zhao Yulai: Look at your brother's face, I'll tell you something thoroughly. You think it's a big deal that you've been banned, right? In Yao Kehai's eyes, this is a big fart, when he blocked you, he might have forgotten what you looked like, he just felt faceless. And the fact that the little prince will protect you is just a sentence to his little prince, because Yao Kehai is a low goods in the little prince.
Xu Wen: Yao Kehai is a major shareholder of Xinghui.
Zhao Yulai: Let's talk nonsense, Xinghui is a thing, and he can be majestic in front of small people like us, do you know what the little prince said today when Yuan Zongchao was a fool who wanted to continue to be loyal to Yao Kehai? People say, 'Do we need to buy Starlight?' 'Yuan Zongchao is a fool, Xu Jun is about to cry stupidly by him!
Therefore, the tabloid said that there is nothing in the entertainment industry that Zhao Yulai does not know, and it turns out to be true. Xu Jun seems to have a good relationship with Zhao Yulai, but fortunately he didn't take a picture on the spot and give it to Zhao Yulai.
Xu Wen: However, there is not the slightest possibility......
Zhao Yulai: Why did you say that the little prince took a fancy to you?
Xu Wen: I'm not bad!
Zhao Yulai: It's not bad, it is estimated that it can be worth 500 yuan a night at the little prince's place.
Xu Wen: Brother Zhao!
Zhao Yulai: Add a 100 tip, no more.
Hey, hey, hey! Have you asked me for my opinion? Just make an offer!
Zhao Yulai: Are you talking nonsense to me? The little prince's grandfather is Zhang Pingzhong, when his grandfather died, almost all the shares were transferred to him bypassing his father, and now the so-called richest man in the country has more than two-thirds of his assets.
Get to know me! It's good that I don't go on TV very often.
Zhao Yulai: Don't say that this person sleeps with you, even if you sleep Yao Kehai can also put on pants and not recognize people, do you count more than 500 yuan a night?
After saying this, Zhao Yulai didn't hear an echo for a long time, and finally looked away from the needle sewing the button, glanced at the mobile phone, and found that Xu Wen had already hung up.
Then, Zhao Yulai found that Qin Hua, who had been sitting next to him after coming in, had not said a word, and looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"If there's a fart, let it go!" Zhao Yu said.
"I think Yao Kehai looks like that, and no one should be interested in him." It was rare for Qin Hua to say a question so strictly in front of Zhao Yulai, but before he finished speaking, Zhao Yulai was happy.
Yao Kehai is 1.63 meters tall, weighs 200, Mediterranean, and has eyes about the same size as mung beans, but he has a pair of provocative ears. Zhao Yulai just said casually just now purely to wake up Xu Wen, but now that he thinks about it, the little prince of the Qin clan can't think about it before he will harm himself and go to Yao Kehai!
Zhao Yulai gave Qin Hua a look at the back of his head.
"You stinky boy still know who Yao Kehai is! It's not in vain that your mother gave you and the little prince of the Qin family a name! β
Then, Zhao Yulai stuffed the shirt with the unbuttoned shirt into Qin Hua's arms, along with the needle and thread, and told Qin Hua to sew it quickly, and he carried the potstickers brought back by Qin Hua back to the bedroom. β
Until Zhao Yulai entered the bedroom and the door was closed, Qin Hua looked at the shirt in his hand, looked at the buttons that were sewn messily and threaded everywhere, took out a long breath, took out his mobile phone and searched for a video of sewing buttons, studied carefully for a few minutes, and began to sew buttons in resignation.
Time is running out, and if possible, Qin Hua still wants to brush up on his favorability as much as possible.
