After a short break, Zhou Huai returned to the set, Zhou Nianzi was not very happy with his brother leaving home, after all, he would not see him for several months after every time he left. But thinking that this was my brother's job, I still reluctantly endured it.

Zhou Huai didn't see Lin Qingquan for a week on the set, and he heard the crew say that he was on sick leave. When I saw him again in the crew, Lin Qingquan's condition was obviously not very good, and it was not enough to say that his face was gray or anything, but his spirit was very bad.

Zhou Huai usually doesn't have much intersection with Lin Qingquan, and he doesn't have a good impression of him, so he doesn't pay much attention to it at this time. However, during the lunch break at noon, Xiao Tang, the assistant newly arranged by Shen Jia, broke a gossip to him: Lin Qingquan was dumped by Xue Mingzong.

Although many people had speculated before that according to Xue Mingzong's character, Lin Qingquan would not be dumped in a long time, but he didn't expect him to be dumped so quickly.

After hearing the news, Zhou Huai didn't say anything, but just instructed the assistant to say less gossip about others, Xiao Tang nodded obediently: "I know, Brother Zhou, I just listened to others, and I was a little surprised for a while." ”

Hearing Xiao Tang say this, Zhou Huai didn't say anything more, took the schedule in her hand and scanned it, and went through the arrangements for the last two days in her mind while reading.

He was looking down at the timetable, and the mobile phone on the dressing table next to him rang, and Zhou Huai picked it up and saw that it was Gu Pei.

Since that charity dinner, Zhou Huai and Gu Pei have been in contact occasionally, and they even had a meal during the period. Although Gu Pei looked like he was not in his heart for everything, he actually had a very serious attitude towards work, and after a few contacts, Zhou Huai found that the other party's personality was very temperamental.

Zhou Huai connected the phone: "Brother Gu." ”

"Busy?"

"It's okay, filming in the crew."

"XX Film and Television Base?" The environment on the other side of the phone was a little noisy, and it seemed to be outdoors: "I happened to be attending a start-up ceremony, just around here, let's have a meal together at noon." ”

Zhou Huai smiled: "Okay." ”

Gu Pei's voice was very pleasant, and he seemed to be in a good mood: "It just so happens that there is a restaurant in the city that tastes good, is it too late to come back before two o'clock?" ”

Zhou Huai looked down at his watch: "It's too late." ”

"Okay, give me the address, I'll pick you up."

Gu Pei took Zhou Huai to a restaurant in the city, the decoration was average, and the taste was really good. The two chatted while eating, and the time passed unusually fast. The more he went deeper, the more Zhou Huai found that Gu Pei always seemed to be careless, but in fact, he was very mature in his thinking, and he had his own ideas and opinions on many things.

"How did you come up with the idea to do this?" Gu Pei took a sip of water from the cup and asked.

"At first, it was for money," Zhou Huai smiled, "now it's for more money." ”

"Haha," Gu Pei couldn't help laughing: "I thought you would say it was for ideals, or...... At the very least, it's a hobby or something. He paused: "Actually, I really entered this circle for a hobby, but it's a pity," and then shook his head: "Lack of talent, this is really no way." ”

The two chatted for a while, and Gu Pei suddenly asked, "I heard that you signed a new company some time ago, how is it, it's not bad?" ”

"Okay."

"I think it's called Baina, right?"

"Yes, the predecessor was Hai Nabaichuan, and it was later acquired."

Gu Pei's slender fingers tapped on the wooden dining table: "I have an impression of all rivers, but it seems that it was not very well run before, and it was almost acquired by Rolling Stone." ”

"Yes, last year it was on the verge of bankruptcy, and at the end of the year, it was acquired by our boss, and then changed its name to Baina."

"Your boss is really bold to acquire such a brokerage company at this time," Gu Pei took a sip of the water cup: "By the way, your boss is ......"

"Kevin Lai."

"Oh, it's Mr. Lai," Gu Pei hooked his lips and smiled, and a good-looking smile appeared on his right cheek: "Why is Mr. Lai suddenly interested in the entertainment industry?" ”

Zhou Huai's expression was also a little puzzled, in fact, he was also curious about this matter, Lai Kaiwen was originally in the steel business, and the business was not small. At that time, he also asked Shen Jia about Lai Kaiwen's sudden switch to the entertainment industry, Shen Jia meant that the steel market had been sluggish in recent years, and Lai Kaiwen wanted to change careers, so he set his sights on the entertainment industry.

At that time, he was also strange, for example, according to Lai Kaiwen's business methods in the past, it can be seen that his personality is very cautious, and he suddenly changed to the entertainment industry, and took over such a bankrupt company, which is not in line with his style. But at that time, he was prevaricated by Shen Jia for some seemingly reasonable reasons, and he didn't care much about the boss's affairs, so he left the problem behind.

Now after Gu Pei asked like this, his doubts were hooked out again.

"I don't know much about this, probably because the steel business has not been easy to do in recent years, so I thought of changing careers."

Gu Pei nodded: "Maybe." ”

Because Zhou Huai still had two scenes in the afternoon, the two chatted for a while, and then went out of the restaurant to rush back.

At this time, there was some traffic jam on the road, so Gu Pei took a slight detour, who knew that it was okay not to forgive, this detour was actually blocked. Gu Pei had no choice but to turn around from the road and take another path.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect the way back to be so congested." Gu Pei said to Zhou Huai while trying to speed up the car as much as possible.

"It's okay, it's time." Zhou Huai said and cast his eyes out of the window, but he was suddenly stunned at this look, and he didn't know when the car actually drove near the Yihai headquarters.

Since Bo Mingcheng returned to China, Zhou Huai has never been here again. At this time, I suddenly passed by, and I couldn't help but feel a little trance.

He set his eyes on the dozens of floors of Yihai, feeling both familiar and unfamiliar.

Just when he was about to retract his eyes, he suddenly saw a champagne-colored Tiguan at the door of the building that was about to go in the direction of the underground parking lot, the license plate number flashed, and Zhou Huai's whole person was stunned.

Sink...... Add?

What does Shen Jialai Yihai do?

By the time he tried to see the license plate number more clearly, the Tiguan had completely disappeared at the entrance to the parking lot.

"What's wrong?"

Gu Pei saw that Zhou Huai's expression was a little weird, and couldn't help asking.

"No, it's nothing," Zhou Huai straightened his expression: "It seems to be ...... I saw an acquaintance. ”

Gu Pei glanced at Zhou Huai and didn't continue to ask, but the corners of his lips curled up a faint arc.

Because of the traffic jam on the road, Zhou Huai was really late when he returned to the set, and he couldn't help but apologize to the director. Because he is almost never late, and he can be regarded as dedicated, the always demanding director didn't say much, just nodded: "Go ahead, get ready to start filming in a while." ”

I don't know if it's affected by being late, how Zhou Huai filmed these two scenes didn't go well. The director also saw that he was not in good shape, thinking that his recent scenes were too tight and too tired from work, so he asked him to take a break and shoot other people's parts first.

Zhou Huai rarely is not in a state on the set, and at this time, his feelings are slightly low. He was unscrewing the bottle of mineral water and pouring it on his head, when a familiar bell rang: it was Zhang Ming.

Zhou Huai answered the phone, and Zhang Ming's jubilant voice came: "Where?" ”

"On the set."

"Ah, then you should be busy first," Zhang Ming smiled: "I just discussed with you about opening a store." ”

"It's okay, you say," Zhou Huai tilted his head to hold the phone, and screwed the mineral water bottle on: "I'm not busy now." ”

"I went back and pondered what you told me that day, and I thought it would be okay. Then in the past two days, I also inquired about the buddies around me, and there happened to be a buddy who used to do this, and recently he was going abroad, and the store wanted to change hands. I think the lot is OK, and then it will be renovated and renovated, but the chef has not yet settled down. ”

"It doesn't matter," Zhou Huai sat up straight: "This kind of barbecue restaurant doesn't need the chef's skills to be good, the main thing is the marinating of the meat, the seasoning of the dishes, and the taste is the most important." ”

"Then I'll tell that buddy to leave the store for me first, and then we'll go and see if you're free."

The two of them chatted for more than 40 minutes about the opening of the restaurant, finalizing the style, scale, location, operation mode and other important matters of the restaurant, and then the specific operation.

After Zhou Huai hung up the phone, he leaned back in his chair and went through the opening of the store and the possible situations in his mind, and after making sure that there was no problem, he estimated the rich funds in his hand. After sorting out all this qiē, he hesitated for a moment, picked up the phone and dialed Shen Jia.

Because I thought that there was a clause in the contract I signed with the company that all the economic activities of Party B must be approved by Party A, including negotiating scripts, receiving notices, advertising, etc. But do business activities such as running restaurants need to be reported to the company? Zhou Huai was a little unsure, so he called Shen Jia for the sake of insurance.

Shen Jia was a little surprised when he heard Zhou Huai say that he was going to open a restaurant, and after a few seconds, he repeated it uncertainly, and asked, "You said you want to ...... Open a restaurant? ”

"Well, so report to the company in advance." Zhou Huai paused: "If you open a restaurant...... Is it a breach of contract? ”

"No, of course not," Shen Jia shook his head again and again: "I just don't understand, why did you suddenly think of opening a restaurant?" ”

"It's nothing, I just want to do a side hustle, so that the economy can be more relaxed." Zhou Huai smiled reassuringly: "Since the company agrees, there will be no problem, thank you Sister Shen." ”

"Hehe, you're welcome."

"That's right," Zhou Huai paused, seemed to hesitate, and then asked again: "Sister Shen, you are going to ...... at noon today." Is it over there in Tiexi? ”

"Huh?" Shen Jia was stunned for a moment, and then quickly denied it: "No, I've been in the company all day today." ”

"Oh," Zhou Huai's voice was a little puzzled: "That's probably because I read it wrong." ”

After Shen Jia slowly removed the phone from his ear, he sat motionless in his seat for a few minutes, then stood up and walked to the huge transparent floor-to-ceiling window, raised his hand and dialed a number on the phone.

A few seconds later, the phone was connected, and as soon as the phone was connected, Shen Jia immediately spoke: "Hey, Mr. Bo, Zhou Huai may be short of money." ”
