At about 5 o'clock in the afternoon of 15 September, Lu Yong personally drove to the gate of the "Huairou Detention Center" in the east of Datun Village, Huairou Town, and took Ma Xiyang, who had just been released from prison, back to the Guo family's compound. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Immediately, after some eating, drinking and celebrating, it was eight o'clock in the night, at this time, Lu Yong and Ma Xiyang came to the top of the hill outside the Guo family's compound, sat side by side on the big bluestone, and talked to the moon.

Lu Yong asked, "Brother Ma, what are your plans in the future?" ”

Ma Xiyang bit his lower lip with his upper teeth and said, "I don't have any other extravagant hopes for the time being, I just want to continue acting." ”

Lu Yong asked again, "At the wine table just now, I found that Uncle Guo's face was ugly, didn't he welcome you back?" ”

Ma Xiyang smiled bitterly and said, "It's normal to send people under the fence and look at people's faces." ”

Lu Yong comforted Ma Xiyang and said, "Don't worry, I will ask a friend tomorrow to arrange you to act in other crews!" ”

Ma Xiyang glanced at Lu Yong's side face, and said inexplicably, "You flew out of the cage, but can I?" ”

Lu Yong thought for a long time before he said, "I just got into another cage, and you can't escape the 'bad luck'." ”

……

……

Two months later, in the winter, Lu Yongtuo sent money and "robbed" a small role for Ma Xiyang in the play "Deprivation of Rights", which is said to be a police officer who was wrongfully imprisoned.

At the same time, "Dumin Gong" was completed, and Lu Yong quickly signed a contract with Yuanlong Film Investment, and on the day of the signing, the company arranged an opportunity for Lu Yong and other newcomers to be on the show.

So, at eight o'clock that night, Lu Yong and other artists, under the leadership of the staff, came to the backstage of the "Xingyuan" program group in Guang'anmen, Xuanwu District, Beijing, and began to put on makeup.

During the period, Ah Xiang, a fellow female artist who was sitting next to Lu Yong, with big eyes, long hair, and "bangs" eyebrows, asked Lu Yong while accepting makeup, "Hey, I heard that you became popular before you signed a contract with the company, right?" ”

Lu Yong said, "No, I can't talk about 'fire', it's just a familiar face." ”

Ah Xiang smiled, "Hehe, you are quite modest!" ”

Lu Yong also asked, "Ah Xiang, what about you?" ”

Ah Xiang sighed and said, "Don't mention it, before I signed the contract, I was a 'notice artist', running shows everywhere to make a living." "I didn't expect it to be like this after signing the contract, it's really boring!" ”

Lu Yong comforted Ah Xiang, "Don't worry, there is always an opportunity." ”

Ah Xiang sighed again and said, "I hope so." Then he suddenly said weirdly, "Hey, have you heard, our company is going to invest in a comedy recently, and we are selecting actors!" ”

When Lu Yong heard this, he was unimpressed.

Ah Xiang continued, "Lu Yong, how about I invite you to dinner when I have time?" ”

Lu Yong asked rhetorically, "Why do you invite me to dinner?" ”

Ah Xiang replied unabashedly, "...... There are two reasons, one is that I think you are a good person; Second, I just want to slap you! ”

Ah Xiang's straightforward and funny words made Lu Yong quite "loved", so the latter readily agreed to the former's request.

……

……

A week has passed, and the first historical comedy "A Pair of Bastards" invested by Yuanlong Film Investment has been submitted to the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television for the record, and soon obtained the filming permission.

At the same time, the cast of the play has also been preliminarily decided, among them, the male number one is Lu Yong, and the second number is Lu Jingcheng; The female number one is contemptuous Xiaoxia and the second Chen Lu, and Ah Xiang has nothing to do with the play.

In this way, after everything was ready, the comedy "A Pair of Bastards" began to shoot, and at noon on the day of the start-up, Hao Chengliang, director and president of Yuanlong Company, broke into the "first city in the world" in Xianghe, Hebei Province, to visit the crew of the show.

At this time, Hao Chengliang had come to the tent set up by the crew, met and sat down with producer Ma Xing and director Wu Xiaohu, and the three of them chatted happily, and then talked about the physical condition of the actor and actress, among them, the physique of the actor Lu Yong became a topic of discussion among the three of them.

Wu Xiaohu said, "In the winter, many actors have caught a cold, but the protagonist Lu Yong is in good health, which is rare!" ”

Ma Xing also said, "Yes, if the actors are like Lu Yong, they are 'invincible to all poisons', presumably the filming progress of the show will be fast!" ”

When Hao Chengliang heard this, he nodded, "Well, I have a lot of confidence in Lu Yong." He asked again, "Why didn't you see Lu Yong?" ”

Ma Xing said, "He was filming the back of the Jinluan Hall outside the forbidden area, chatting with a tourist!" ”

"Oh!" When Hao Chengliang heard this, his face changed greatly for some reason.

And at this moment, I saw Lu Yong holding the script and stepping into the tent, he was just about to discuss the script with Director Wu, but found that the boss Hao Chengliang was also among them.

So, Lu Yong asked without slackening, "Mr. Hao, why are you here?" ”

Hao Chengliang said with a smile, "That's the case, I'm worried that you will freeze your body while filming, so I came over to take a look." He changed the conversation again and asked, "Lu Yong, I heard Producer Ma say that you have been chatting with a tourist just now, haven't you?" ”

Lu Yong nodded, "Yes." ”

Hao Chengliang continued to ask: "Are you familiar with this tourist?" ”

Lu Yong asked rhetorically: "Why are you asking this?" ”

Hao Chengliang replied hesitantly, "...... It's nothing, I'm just worried that you're being bewitched by others. ”

"Bewitched? No, it won't. As soon as Lu Yong's words came out, he immediately regretted it, and the reason for his regret is only known by God, earth, and Lu Yong.

……

……

Ten days later, Lu Yong took the opportunity of having no scenes that day to accompany Guo Baishun's father and daughter to Nanhu Middle Park, Chaoyang District, Beijing, to see the house in the Xinghai Pearl Community.

Originally, Lu Yong resolutely opposed the "father-in-law" Guo Baishun buying a high-priced house in the city, but Lu Yong thought about it later, the person who paid to buy the house was the "father-in-law", since the "father-in-law" insisted on this, why did he say more? Therefore, Lu Yong restrained his views and did not express any more dissenting words.

At this time, the three of them followed the owner and entered Room 602 of the third unit of the community, among them, Lu Yong, who followed the owner to "wander", suddenly heard the mobile phone in his pocket ringing, so Lu Yong took out his mobile phone, looked at the caller ID, and found that it was Ah Xiang's mobile phone number, and then connected the phone.

Lu Yong put his phone to his ear and asked, "Ah Xiang, are you okay?" ”

Ah Xiang cried, "I went to look for you in the 'first city in the world' in Xianghe, Hebei, but Jia Tao, the assistant director, said that you were not there, so I ......"

Lu Yong hurriedly diverted the topic and asked urgently, "Ah Xiang, why are you crying?" ”

Ah Xiang replied in a low mood, "I fell out with the company, and they want to 'hide' me!" ”

Lu Yong asked again, "Good and decent, why did you fall out with the company?" ”

Ah Xiang explained, "That's the case, they just want me to shoot commercials, and don't give me the opportunity to act, I'm not convinced!" ”

Lu Yong continued to ask, "In that case, how are you going to deal with it?" ”

Ah Xiang said amazingly: "I want to change jobs!" ”

Lu Yong felt inappropriate: "I think you are too hasty." ”

Ah Xiang was confused: "Then what should I do?" ”

Lu Yong sighed, and replied, "I'm also entangled in everything, but who called us friends, so let's go to the Sanlitun 'village bar' in the evening and wait for me, and I will introduce you to a few friends to help you at that time." ”

When Ah Xiang heard this, she was happy, "Okay, good, see you or leave!" ”

"Hmm." Lu Yong agreed, and then hung up the phone.

……

……

A few hours passed, Guo Baishun negotiated the price with the owner, paid the deposit in advance, and prepared to go through the transfer procedures tomorrow.

After that, Lu Yong drove Guo Baishun's father and daughter, and returned to the Guo family's compound while it was still dawn, and as soon as the three of them got out of the car, they found that there were two more cars in the courtyard, and one of them was a new car without a license plate number.

At this point, Lu Yong asked Guo Baishun, "Uncle Guo, did you make an appointment in the afternoon?" ”

Guo Baishun shook his head: "No." And he said, "Could it be that they came to you?" ”

"Looking for me?" Lu Yong said, thinking.

And just when Lu Yong was puzzled, he saw Ma Xiyang leading the two out of the office, so Lu Yong heard the footsteps and found that the people behind Ma Xiyang were Hao Chengliang, the president, and Yin Xuan of the human resources department.

At this moment, Ma Xiyang, Hao Chengliang, and Yin Xuan were already standing in front of Lu Yong.

Ma Xiyang said first, "Lu Yong, Hao is always here to send you a car!" ”

"Oh!" Lu Yong was startled at first, then looked at Hao Chengliang and asked, "Mr. Hao, what do you mean by this?" ”

Hao Chengliang said with a smile, "Lu Yong, your car is too old, it's time to replace it!" ”

"But—"

Lu Yong was about to go on, but was interrupted by Yin Xuan, "Okay, okay, don't 'but'!" He also said, "Mr. Hao left his work and worked hard to deliver the car, if you refuse, it will be too unkind, accept the car!" ”

"This ...... All right. ”

Lu Yong's promise made Hao Chengliang quite happy, but on the other hand, Lu Yong was very worried because of his futility, and he deeply felt that Hao Chengliang had ulterior motives for sending the car.

……

……

At eight o'clock in the night, Lu Yong drove the new car presented by Mr. Hao, carried Guo Yao, to the south parking lot of the "village bar" in Sanlitun, Chaoyang District, and stopped.

As soon as the two got out of the car, they met their friends Huo Jianghua and Wang Hui.

Among them, Wang Hui said with a smile, "Hehe, Lu Yong, what a coincidence!" As he spoke, he looked at the Mercedes-Benz ML500 off-road vehicle behind Lu Yong and exclaimed, "Oops! You've changed cars! How much? ”

Lu Yong replied, "...... It seems like...... I don't know. ”

"Poof!" When Wang Hui heard this, he laughed, "You are so funny, you don't know how much money you bought your car!" ”

Guo Yao hurriedly helped Lu Yong save face, "That's the case, the car was sent by the company's boss, so my Lu Yong doesn't know the price." ”

When Wang Hui heard this, he looked at Guo Yao and asked Lu Yong, "......Who is this?"

Lu Yong replied, "Oh, she's my girlfriend, Guo Yao." And he said, "Let's go to the bar." ”

With that, Lu Yong led the crowd into the bar and sat down at an empty table. At this moment, Ah Xiang, who had entered the bar early, excitedly squeezed through the crowd as soon as she saw Lu Yong, and came to Lu Yong at a trot.

Ah Xiang panted and said, "Lu Yong, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" ”

Lu Yong said with a smile, "Hehe, it's hard work." ”

And as soon as Guo Yao saw the strange Ah Xiang, she was jealous, "Lu Yong, who is she?" ”

Lu Yong explained: "...... She is also an artist in our company, and they are all friends, don't think about it. ”

"Humph!" Guo Yao turned his head to the side and ignored Lu Yong.

Immediately, after Lu Yong introduced each other to several of them, everyone chatted because they were familiar.

Among them, Wang Hui took a deep puff of cigarette, exhaled a cloud of smoke, and told Ah Xiang, "You should think twice about terminating the contract, otherwise, you will regret it." ”

Ah Xiang said, "No, I will never regret it!" ”

Huo Jianghua, who was wearing sunglasses, interjected, "As Lu Yong said, if you leave Yuanlong Shadow Investment, you may not be able to make a difference, besides, you are not the only newcomer in the company, how can you all be reused at the same time?" I think you'd better wait. ”

"Wait? How long do you have to wait? Do you want me to wait until my youth is gone? Ah Xiang was excited, lowered her head and covered her face with her hands and cried.

At the same time, Lu Yong, who deeply pitied Ah Xiang, sighed, frowned and said to Wang Hui and Huo Jianghua, "We are all friends, I won't beat around the bush when I speak, I hope you can help Ah Xiang." ”

Wang Hui immediately nodded, "Okay, I'll give it a try." ”

Huo Jianghua did not directly state, "I understand Ah Xiang very well, but since I lost one eye, I have learned some truths, that is, the more you are eager to do things, the more difficult it is to succeed, and even if you achieve the desired goal, but impatience will make it difficult for you to be happy, that is to say, people see fame and fortune, and always think that they can get freedom and happiness by catching up with it, but they chase it all the way and find that it is a road of no return that makes people want to stop and is painful. If Ah Xiang can see through this, she will not blindly pursue it, let alone cry sadly. ”

When Lu Yong heard this, he turned his head to look at Ah Xiang, and he found that Ah Xiang had raised his head, wiped away his tears and stopped sobbing. And from this, Lu Yong also asked himself, "Have I also embarked on the road of no return that Huo Jianghua said?" ”

So far, all kinds of ambivalence have made Lu Yong have mixed feelings about the future.
