Chapter 7 What it's like to have an ex-girlfriend
On the way out to eat, several people continued to chat about the gossip about Lu Fengxian and Ren Diao Chan being secretly filmed, and because Ning Qingzhou put forward the theory of "serial scheme", everyone's topic naturally extended to the history of the Han Dynasty Film Group.
"At the beginning, the ten directors of Hanying competed for power, which made the entertainment industry miserable, and the chairman of the board of directors of the Liu family had already existed in name only, and later in order to quell the rebellion of the ten directors, the CEO Liu Zhongping at the time invited Dong Zhongying, but he didn't expect it to lead the tiger and reject the wolf."
Jiang Jianzhong sighed: "After Dong Zhongying came in, the Han Dynasty no longer had the surname Liu. ”
Everyone agreed with this sentence, and Huang Li, who was keen on entertainment and gossip, continued: "But Wang Zishi, as Dong Zhongying's henchman, why did he provoke Lu Fengxian and Dong Zhongying, did he want to seize power?" ”
Ning Qingzhou said: "Huang Li, don't forget what people in the entertainment industry are best at. ”
"What?"
"Acting." Ning Qingzhou glanced at Huang Li with a smile: "Wang Zishi is a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, but now that Dong Zhongying is powerful, he has to temporarily forbear, but with the exposure of the scandal between Lu Fengxian, the first brother of Han Ying, and Ren Diao Chan, the leader of the family, Wang Zishi's long-planned plan should be fully launched." ”
Huang Li said: "Dong Zhongying is now in control of the board of directors, Wang Zishi has no chance at all, right?" ”
"What if Wang Zishi, Lu Fengxian and Ren Diao Chan join forces?"
"This can't be, Lu Fengxian is Dong Zhongying's godson."
Ning Qingzhou said with a smile: "Just like Han Xue said, Lu Fengxian is the most important person who lacks a godfather. ”
Huang Li frowned and thought for a while, then turned his head to look at Ning Qingzhou, and asked, "Then you say, how will they deal with Dong Zhongying, if what you say makes sense, I will go to work tomorrow to show off with my colleagues." ”
Jiang Hanxue, Cao Yuqin and others also looked at Ning Qingzhou.
Ning Qingzhou thought for a moment and said: "The first step, Lu Fengxian and Ren Diao Chan will admit their relationship, everyone knows that artists admitting love affairs is the most common and best way to stir up topics;
The second step is to hold a press conference to expose Dong Zhongying's ugly face, and put public opinion pressure on Dong Zhongying and the board of directors of Han Ying.
The third and most critical step is that Wang Zishi will take advantage of this public opinion to unite with other directors of Hanying to remove Dong Zhongying in one fell swoop. ”
After listening to Ning Qingzhou's analysis, everyone was silent for a moment, and Cao Yuqin said: "Zhouzhou, when did you study the entertainment industry so thoroughly?" ”
Ning Qingzhou said with a smile: "Because I have considered entering the entertainment industry in the future and becoming a star or something." ”
"Stop, you should continue to write the promising profession of Xiao Huangwen."
Everyone was talking, came to a sheep scorpion hot pot restaurant on the street next to the community, just chose a place to sit down, Ning Qingzhou received a phone call, the mobile phone screen showed "Teacher Yang", it should be Jin Zhuangyuan's colleague, Ning Qingzhou connected, heard a young man's voice on the phone, and his tone was not good: "Ning Qingzhou, what's the matter with you, you didn't come to work today, don't you want to do it?" ”
"I'm sorry, Mr. Yang, I have something to do in the past two days......"
Teacher Yang interrupted: "Who has nothing to do, everyone has something to do, and they don't have to go to work?" ”
"I, I, I just broke up with my girlfriend." Ning Qingzhou almost subconsciously offered this excuse.
"Okay, I don't bother to listen to your explanation, I transferred all your classes to Xu Ke, and you won't use them for the next month."
"No problem. By the way, Mr. Yang, I will tell you by the way, I am going to resign, and I will take over the work tomorrow, thank you for your continued care. ”
There was obvious silence for a moment, then he said a "yes" and hung up the phone.
"Why did you quit?" Jiang Hanxue looked at Ning Qingzhou and asked.
"I don't want to do it, I want to write full-time." Ning Qingzhou replied casually.
"Full-time? Ning Qingzhou, do you think you have the conditions to work full-time now? ”
Ning Qingzhou nodded, Jiang Hanxue was speechless for a while, but Cao Yuqin supported: "I agree with Zhouzhou's resignation." ”
"Sister Qin?" Jiang Hanxue was puzzled: "You persuaded me so much just now......"
Cao Yuqin said: "Zhouzhou's situation is different from yours, he is a teacher in that training institution, he has no future, and he himself doesn't like that job." ”
Ning Qingzhou nodded.
Jiang Hanxue said: "But you are not suitable for full-time writing at all now, your "Tang Ding" ......" paused, and continued: "It's because I asked the editor in charge to arrange a few more recommendations for you, so I get so much manuscript fee every month, otherwise, it may not be enough for your rent and living expenses." ”
Ning Qingzhou said: "From then on, please continue to support Xueda." ”
"I think you're going to need to cool down for a few weeks." Jiang Hanxue said angrily.
Cao Yuqin looked at Jiang Hanxue's reaction and smiled thoughtfully.
Ning Qingzhou said: "Okay, the snow is big, I will go to find a job." "Ning Qingzhou's job on Earth is a screenwriter's assistant, and he occasionally runs around in film and television dramas and acts as a passerby, so he can find a job in this direction, after all, it has always been his dream to leave his name on the subtitles of a film and television drama in a dignified manner.
After returning to the apartment after eating, Cao Yuqin lay on the sofa leisurely and said to Jiang Hanxue with a smile: "Xue'er, I think I have found the real reason for your fluctuations in love these days." ”
Jiang Hanxue changed her clothes, took off her shoes, jumped on the sofa and sat down cross-legged, picked up a copy of "Guiquan" magazine and flipped through it, and asked, "What is the reason?" ”
"Because of the boat."
Jiang Hanxue closed the magazine and looked at Cao Yuqin: "Sister Qin, don't make trouble, what does it have to do with him?" ”
Cao Yuqin sat up and said, "You see that he is so sad and decadent because of another woman who has abandoned him, so you are so irritable in your heart." ”
"Sister Qin," Jiang Hanxue put the magazine back and said seriously: "I admit that you sometimes see people very accurately, but this time I want to say, you are really wrong, I care about Ning Qingzhou, it is completely out of the morality of a friend, there is no other meaning, how can I have superfluous thoughts about him?" ”
"Why is it impossible, you are one editor and one author."
"Sister Qin, you must know that I have more than a thousand authors in my hands now, and there are more than a dozen platinum gods, and Ning Qingzhou is not ranked among these authors at all."
"Okay." Cao Yuqin no longer dwelled on this issue, and finally said: "It's just because you like to talk about horoscopes that I have a preconceived idea that you have something else to mean to him, it's better if it's okay, anyway, my attitude towards good friends as a couple has not been very optimistic." ”
Jiang Hanxue fought back: "Eh, my brother is too pitiful. ”
Cao Yuqin glanced at Jiang Hanxue with a smile, got up and went to the bathroom, Jiang Hanxue reached out and took a pillow and held it in his arms, thinking about what Cao Yuqin had just said, thoughtfully.
The next day, Ning Qingzhou went to Jin Zhuangyuan to resign, and a female teacher who had a good relationship with him knew about him and Jing Man, came over to comfort him, said a few words, and couldn't help but gossip in a tentative tone: "I saw Jing Man when I went shopping that day." ”
"Oh, how is she?"
"She's fine." Feng Mei observed Ning Qingzhou's expression and continued: "She told me that her current boyfriend is going to McKinsey. ”
"She told me."
"Oh." Feng Mei sighed and said, "I didn't expect Jing Man...... Teacher Ning, don't be too sad. ”
"I'm fine."
Ning Qingzhou was about to leave after handing over the work, when he happened to meet a male teacher in his thirties who pushed the door in, the male teacher glanced at Ning Qingzhou, did not speak, turned his head, and passed by Ning Qingzhou, Ning Qingzhou guessed that the person must be Teacher Yang on the phone.
After Ning Qingzhou left Jin Zhuangyuan, Mr. Yang criticized: "If you resign because you are out of love, what can this kind of person do in the future?" ”
Feng Mei continued: "His girlfriend's new boyfriend works at McKinsey, and I heard that the family is also quite rich, so Mr. Ning must feel uncomfortable. ”
Teacher Yang sneered and said, "Why can't I sympathize with him at all? ”
Feng Mei smiled, and then sent a message to Jing Man on her mobile phone.
……
After Ning Qingzhou left Jin Zhuangyuan, he didn't rush back to the apartment, but decided to take the bus to take a casual stroll around and get to know the city, but just after three stops of the bus, Jing Man's phone called, and Ning Qingzhou was idle anyway, so he connected.
"I heard you quit?"
"That's right." Ning Qingzhou said, seeing the bus start again, and the modern buildings kept flashing back.
"Why?"
"I want to have more time to write with peace of mind."
"Ning Qingzhou, why do you have to be so obsessed, you have to grasp the road of writing novels and writing online novels?"
"Uh...... It doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, does it? ”
Jing Man sneered briefly and said, "When we broke up that day, I told you, you write novels full-time, and you can't even support yourself at all, don't have that kind of unrealistic dream anymore, you were fooled by Jiang Hanxue a lot, so you couldn't find your own position." ”
"Jiang Hanxue has never fooled me."
"Whatever, anyway, I don't care at all now, it's just that Ning Qingzhou I have something to make clear to you, the '150,000 theory' I told you at the beginning is not that you don't have money now, to be honest, I am willing to work with my other half, just like I am like this with Li Kai now, although his family has money, but it has nothing to do with us, we will buy a house on our own in the future, so I hope you can also give up those unrealistic fantasies, find a job well, and be down-to-earth......"
Ning Qingzhou felt like he was answering a wrong phone call, and he thought it was quite funny, and said: "But people have dreams that are important to adhere to, what if they come true one day?" ”
"You have been persisting for so many years Ning Qingzhou, you have been writing novels since your sophomore year, you started to contribute to magazines, and later you wrote online novels, have you become famous, have you become a god? I admit that when I was in school, I also fantasized about the day you succeeded, but then I woke up, so Ning Qingzhou, you should wake up too. ”
"I don't!"
"Huh?"
Ning Qingzhou laughed and said, "Okay, Miss Jing, I thank you for calling to encourage me, but what I want to say is that after this phone call is hung up, you and I don't have to have any contact, we will pull each other into the blacklist, and forget about each other." Frankly, for me, you are really just a stranger, not bad-hearted, and it is not wrong to pursue a better quality of life, and I don't have to feel any guilt anymore, because I will live well and happy, and I wish you a happy life, what do you think? ”
Jing Man was silent for a while and said, "That's ...... Of course, I hope you can do it. ”
"I promise you, I can do it."
"Okay, that's it."
"Bye-bye." Ning Qingzhou pressed the phone.
Meanwhile, on the balcony of a towering building in the city, a young woman slowly moves her phone away from her ear.
"That's what it's like to have an ex-girlfriend." On the Mercedes-Benz bus, Ning Qingzhou smiled and said to himself: "But that's it." ”
