Chapter XI

The café is located on the first floor of the headquarters building, and the overall decoration takes into account the elegant environment and peaceful atmosphere, while not forgetting to retain a trace of leisure and comfort for guests. The afternoon sun jumps in through the bright floor-to-ceiling windows, and the soft piano music rings in the ears.

And the name of this café is very special - it's called Take a Break.

made Chen Mo subconsciously think of the high he saw every time he watched a TV series or a variety show. When the tide is high, there will always be a line of words that suddenly appear, just "Take a break, come back immediately after the advertisement." ”

Such an association made Chen Mo can't help but hook the corners of his mouth, thinking that it is worthy of a café in the Huaxia Entertainment headquarters building. Even choosing a name has such a connotation.

Yang Qindong noticed Chen Mo's smile and thought that he was very satisfied with the environment of the café. He smiled and said, "This café is opened in-house. It is said to be a café, but in fact it is just a large pantry, and it is not open to the public. You also know that there are so many artists in the company and such a big reputation, it will be very troublesome to appear in public. The company also does this to take care of the artists. In fact, our company is really good to employees. ”

Chen Mo nodded indifferently, and randomly found a card seat by the floor-to-ceiling window to sit down. Watching the pedestrians come and go outside the window, the traffic on the street is tightly blocked. Some drivers are even more irritable and keep honking their horns to urge the vehicles in front, but they can sit here and enjoy afternoon tea peacefully, and Chen Moda has a sense of satisfaction called happiness from the bottom of his heart.

Yang Qindong also sat opposite Chen Mo with a smile on his face. He reached out and unbuttoned his suit jacket, then took it off and carefully set it on the sofa to avoid any wrinkles, before asking, "What do you want to eat?" ”

Chen Mo actually doesn't like to eat Western food. But when he has no choice and is very hungry, he is not a picky eater.

Stretching out his hand to take the menu handed over by the waiter, Chen Mo looked down and asked seriously, "Is there anything delicious to recommend?" ”

It was at this time that Mu Yu noticed the person inside the floor-to-ceiling window.

People all over the world know that Huajing is heavily congested during rush hour. But I don't know that even if it is not the rush hour, some business districts are prone to traffic jams because of the frequent traffic of vehicles. And the time and place of the traffic jam are very random.

For example, Mu Yu just had a light meal with a big customer at noon, and when he came back, he caught up in a traffic jam. And a wall can't be moved for more than half an hour.

Even though he was accustomed to this phenomenon, Mu Yu still felt a little impatient. He had to go back to the company to preside over a meeting at half past two in the afternoon, and it was almost two o'clock now, and he didn't know if he could get back on time.

Mu Yu quietly put the Wen Jiàn in his hand on the empty seat on the side, and glanced out of the car window casually.

The afternoon sun is blazing bright, and the scorching sun scorches the earth unscrupulously. Even the air outside the car window distorted when the temperature was so high.

Looking aimlessly through the pedestrian streets coming and going, Mu Yu saw at a glance that in the café opposite, a boy in jeans and a pullover was looking at the menu in his hand with a serious expression. The man across from him seemed to be saying something to him, and the boy agreed absentmindedly. Placing the menu on the table, the boy propped his chin on his hand and looked out the window with interest.

The golden sunlight poured down on the man's face through the glass window, forming halos of light, blurring the boy's eyebrows and eyes more and more delicately. He exudes a temperament that is incompatible with the café, but it is very strangely integrated into it. People can see him at first glance without feeling abrupt and embarrassed.

What a beautiful boy.

Mu Yu thought so.

Looking at the scorching sun outside, Mu Yu suddenly felt that even if the air conditioner was turned on in the car, the temperature was a bit high. He subconsciously loosened his tie, pursed his somewhat dry lips, and prepared to get out of the car for a drink.

The next second, the car suddenly started. The traffic that had been stuck for more than half an hour was finally cleared and slowly moved. Soon, the car drove out of view of the coffee shop. The driver, Xiao Zhao, also knew that the boss had a meeting in the afternoon, so he stepped on the accelerator. Within the range of the speed limit, rush back to the company.

Mu Yu glanced at the café that had long been invisible from the rearview mirror, and casually put down the hand that had been moved to the car door.

"What are you looking at?" Yang Qindong couldn't help but smile when he saw Chen Mo holding his chin and looking out of the window with a serious face.

"I'm looking at the car outside." Chen Mo replied casually.

Unexpectedly, when Yang Qindong heard this, he hooked the corners of his mouth with interest and said, "Yes." Boys your age love designer sports cars. However, I believe that with your strength, as long as you are willing to work hard, famous cars and luxury houses are not a problem. ”

After speaking, he smiled and asked Chen Mo what brand of car he liked. Chen Mo casually replied "Ferrari", Yang Qindong didn't hear clearly, and involuntarily asked again.

Chen Mo came back to his senses and asked, "Didn't you say eating?" Why is it so slow to serve here? ”

Yang Qindong heard this. Most of the people who come here to eat are to rest or talk about things. How can you sit down and eat?

However, considering Chen Mo's state and feelings, Yang Qindong still opened his mouth to urge a few words.

Before the food was served, the two began to study the details of the contract again. When these were almost discussed, Yang Qindong asked again: "By the way, what arrangements have you made in the near future?" After all, it will take at least half a year for the drama "Young Son of Heaven" to enter the publicity period. If you don't have any comments during this period, I can arrange a few ...... for you."

"No need. Don't arrange things for me, I have to go back to school. Chen Mo interrupted Yang Qindong's words and spoke.

Taking the university entrance examination is the ideal of Chen's father and mother and the original owner, and Chen Mo will definitely work hard to complete it. No matter who tries to persuade him, this will not change.

Yang Qindong had also seen Chen Mo's stubbornness, and when he said this, he no longer bothered about other things. Instead, he said, "If you need to, you can sue me." I can arrange it for you too. By the way, which university do you want to go to, is it Huaying or Huaxi, or some other film school-"

"I'm going to go to Huajing University." Chen Mo frowned, looked at Yang Qindong's stunned expression, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why are you so surprised?" ”

"No, I just didn't expect that the newcomer I just signed is not only handsome, but also has such good academic performance." Yang Qindong took a sip of coffee and said with a smile: "Now the entertainment industry also likes highly educated talents. You have such a good appearance, if you are still a student at Huajing University, the company will have more things to hype when it does publicity. That's a good thing for you and for the company. ”

Chen Mo didn't speak. He lowered his head and cut the steak he ordered, forked a piece and put it in his mouth, and then said, "I have to go back and discuss the signing with my family." You get the idea, right? ”

Yang Qindong nodded, smiled and said, "Of course." I'll take you home when I'm done later. I'll talk to your parents about it by the way. ”

Chen Mo nodded.

When he returned home that night, Chen's father and Chen's mother knew that Chen Mo had gone to the crew, and seeing that he didn't come back so late, they specially made a few of Chen Mo's favorite dishes. Yang Qindong was also full of praise for Chen's father's craftsmanship.

After the family finished eating, Yang Qindong told Chen's father and Chen's mother about the signing. Chen's father and Chen's mother were shocked when they heard this, and before they could say anything urgently, Chen Mo said: "I decided to sign the contract myself." I'm interested in this line of work. But don't worry, I won't delay my studies. I will also be admitted to Huajing University. ”

Father Chen and Mother Chen could only nod when they heard Chen Mo say this.

Yang Qindong was keenly aware that there seemed to be a little problem with the way Chen's father, Chen's mother and Chen Mo got along. However, he will not comment on other people's family affairs at will, so he has to pretend not to know. smiled and asked Chen's father and mother to sign an economic contract for Chen Mo. Then he got up and took his leave.

After Yang Qindong left, Chen Mo took out 75,000 yuan from his schoolbag, of which 55,000 was the salary for the aggravation of the salary, and the other 20,000 was the money that Chen Mo paid for writing songs for the crew.

Chen Mo kept 5,000 yuan for himself, and then gave the remaining 70,000 yuan to Chen's father and Chen's mother, clearly saying that he wanted to subsidize the family. Chen's mother went back to the room and took out a □□, put it together with Chen Mo's 70,000 yuan, and said, "I'll deposit this money in the bank tomorrow." Save it for you. ”

Chen Mo frowned and said, "No." That's the money to subsidize the family. Now I only need to take the script and get paid. There should be no shortage of money. ”

Of course, Chen Mo's words had no way to convince Chen's father and Chen's mother. He was dragged by Chen's father and Chen's mother to sit in the living room and eat some fruit before returning to the room.

Chen Mo, who had a plan, took out Chen Mo's high school textbooks from the bookshelf, started reading them from the easiest Chinese, history, geography, and politics, and read all the textbooks through.

For the next few days, Chen Mo locked himself in his room and gradually read through all the textbooks and workbooks to make sure that he had mastered all the knowledge. It's also time for the start of school in September.

Chen Mo's school is a very famous real yàn high school in Huajing City, Chen Mo's grades in school are very good, and he has always been ranked among the top three in the whole school year. After taking such a long leave due to illness last semester, the teachers of all subjects were very worried that Chen Mo would not be able to adapt to the learning progress. The head teacher, Mr. Meng, also called Chen Mo to the office to talk, reminding Chen Mo that if she didn't understand something in her studies, she could come and ask her. even said that if Chen Mo was willing, she could also give Chen Mo a make-up lesson after class.

Chen Mo smiled and declined Teacher Meng's kindness, and said, "Actually, I didn't forget to do my homework when I was recuperating. There shouldn't be any major problems. ”

Teacher Meng saw that Chen Mo insisted, and it was difficult to persuade him again. I had to say, "There will be a test next week." Let's take a look at your grades first, if not, you still have to tutor. ”

Chen Mo nodded. Although he had only been back to school for a day, he was already feeling bored. Chen Mo decided that if this was the case for the rest of the time, he would rather continue to take sick leave, as long as he kept his student status and came back to take the exam when it was time for the college entrance examination.

Thinking like this, Chen Mo became more and more idle. When I came out of the office and returned to the classroom, I found that everyone was talking about something with great interest.

Chen Mo returned to his seat and inquired, only to learn that it was the math teacher who came home from maternity leave, and the school specially hired a new teacher to come over as a substitute teacher.

"I heard that the new teacher is very handsome, and he is still a top student who came back from country M. You say if he is really so good, why did he come to the school to be a teacher? ”

Chen Mo supported his chin with his hand, listening with one ear and one ear. Zhang Zongming, who was at the same table, came up with a smile, stretched out his arm on Chen Mo's shoulder, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why don't you speak?" I heard from the teacher that you were seriously ill before you took a vacation. But I came to your house a few months ago to look for you, but I heard from your parents that you ran away from home? I said, when are you going to use this trick too? ”

Chen Mo glanced at Zhang Zongming, not wanting to answer this question. He simply changed his words and asked, "Where did you go to play during the summer vacation?" ”

These words did ask Zhang Zongming's heart. I saw that his eyes lit up, and he immediately talked about the interesting story of his and his family's summer vacation trip to Madai. Because he said it was funny, the nearby classmates heard it and came over. Zhang Zongming frothed at the mouth for most of the day, and at the end he didn't forget to ask Chen Mo what he was doing. Chen Mo propped his chin and replied indifferently: "I went to make a movie." ”

"Huh?" When everyone heard this, they were all dumbfounded with expressions of disbelief. Zhang Zongming was about to open his mouth to ask something, but as soon as the class bell rang, a man wearing a white shirt, a black suit and blue jeans stepped into the classroom.

The man was about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with short, neat hair dyed brown. Thick eyebrows, deep eyes and high nose bridge, the whole person feels very hearty and handsome, and the whole body not only exudes the spirit of a young man, but also reveals the maturity and stability of a successful man in every move.

Before he could speak while standing on the podium, Chen Mo had already heard the female classmates below screaming.

When the man heard the praise of the female classmate, he smiled more and more happily, revealing a mouthful of dazzling white teeth.

He casually turned on the TV hanging above the classroom lectern, then took out a lottery ticket from the lesson plan and asked, "Know what this is?" ”

The classmates in the class were inexplicable, but they still replied in unison: "Lottery." ”

"Have you ever bought a lottery ticket?"

This time, the students in the class gave mixed answers, some said they had bought it, some said they had not bought it, and some students replied that they had seen their parents buy it.

The substitute teacher smiled again and asked, "Then did any of you who bought lottery tickets win?" ”

This time, even fewer students answered yes.

Obviously, this is also in line with the understanding of substitute teachers. He shook the lottery ticket in his hand, smiled and said, "This is a lottery ticket I bought when I went to work in the morning and passed by the lottery center." The above set of numbers is based on my mathematical knowledge of probability, statistics, and other related knowledge. Now let's see what the results are. ”

As soon as the substitute teacher finished saying this, the lottery draw had already begun to be shown on the TV. All the students were staring intently at the small ball in the TV. After a few minutes...... All the students, including Chen Mo, looked at the substitute teacher in amazement again. Because the ticket in his hand was only two numbers short of the number broadcast on the jackpot......

In other words, the lottery ticket in the hands of the substitute teacher won at least 100,000 yuan!

The substitute teacher saw the jaw-dropping appearance of the students, and hooked the corners of her mouth with satisfaction. He put the lottery ticket in the lesson plan, pressed his hands on the podium, smiled at everyone and said, "So this matter tells the students the importance of learning mathematics well." As long as you learn math well, even if you don't achieve anything in the future, you can still live by squatting in the lottery center to buy lottery tickets...... The last sentence, of course, is a joke. ”

After saying a word, the substitute teacher smiled slightly, nodded at the students present, and introduced himself: "Hello everyone, my name is Pei Qingjue." It's your math teacher. I'm going to spend the next period of time with you. ”

"I don't have much experience as a teacher for the first time, so please give me more advice."
