Chapter 179: Cool or Not Cool
Chinese New Year's Eve in 2007 was colder than Bai Yuhan imagined, and on this year's Chinese New Year's Eve, he brought his parents to the capital for the New Year. Bai Changshun and Chen Xianglan came to the capital for the first time, and they said several times before that they wanted to come to the capital to have fun, either Bai Yuhan was not in the capital, or they didn't leave because of something at home.
This year's Chinese New Year, Bai Yuhan wants to stay in the company, and there are too many things in the company. So he persuaded again and again and brought his parents to the capital for the New Year. It's just that the Chinese New Year's Eve in the capital is much more deserted than the hometown, the city does not set off firecrackers, plus the workers have gone home for the New Year, and the huge capital seems to have become an empty city.
Tong Liya went back to her hometown for the New Year, Li Jinming also went back to her hometown for the New Year, and Bai Yuhan became a loner again.
"Mom and Dad, you go around by yourself first, there is a big shopping mall nearby, you can take my card, you can swipe it if you like, don't save money for your son, my son is making a lot of money now."
"You can't spend money indiscriminately to earn money, and you have to marry someone to settle down in the future." Chen Xianglan advised.
"I see, Mom."
"Don't patronize your career, you have to talk about one when you meet the right one, you are not young anymore, your hometown is as big as you, and you have a baby."
Bai Yuhan hurriedly changed the topic: "I know, I know." Mom and Dad, you go shopping, I still have to go to the company to deal with things, so I won't accompany you for now. ”
Bai Changshun nodded: "You go and be busy with you, I'm not a child with your mother&1&本&Read&Novel{.{ yb}{du}.}, don't lose it, go out quickly. ”
"Hey, then I'm leaving."
Today is Chinese New Year's Eve.
Bai Yuhan has to work overtime in the company.
"Step by Step" was completed half a month ago, and the first season of "Run, Brother" also ended ten days ago. "Love Apartment 2" also suspended filming for a few days, and the sixth day of the Lunar New Year continued. At the end of the year, these big projects. All leave a bunch of documents, procedures, accounts, and contracts to be checked and cleared one by one.
At the end of the year, the company's finances and statements must be cleaned up, customers must be contacted, and contacts must be maintained.
Two days ago, at the year-end dinner, he was still drinking and singing, and he was elated. Excited about the company's growing strength.
Now I have to sigh sadly at the piles of papers.
"Swordsman, when did my uncle and aunt arrive? Is it all arranged? "Arrived at the company. met Wang Ziwen, who was also busy, and Wang Ziwen asked.
Bai Yuhan nodded: "I picked up the plane at eleven o'clock last night, and there was nothing to arrange, the house was ready-made." Next to the business district. Although there are fewer people in the capital now, the business district is still quite lively. My parents used to do business in the city as well, so it was no problem to adapt. ”
"That's good, by the way, this year's Chinese New Year's Eve, or go to my house for the New Year, right?" Wang Ziwen couldn't help but say.
Bai Yuhan smiled: "It's not good, if I were alone, I would be cheeky and go over to eat." I'm not still taking my parents with me, I'm afraid they won't be comfortable. He wasn't the kind of person who was good at sociing, and I also booked a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at that Wenjing Hotel. After eating, I just took my parents around the capital. ”
"Come together, I have Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at home, just my parents, me, my sister, and no one else. We all eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at home, and only go to their uncle's house to eat on the first day of the new year. ”
Wang Ziwen's father is the deputy director of the Economic and Trade Department of the National Development and Reform Commission, and he is not a big official, but he has a little power in his hands, and there are many people who are in trouble. Her mother worked as a consultant for a real estate company, a position that was justified as a money-paying job. Her great-grandfather used to be an old Red Army, and he had the rank of lieutenant colonel before retiring from illness.
In her grandfather's generation, she was affected by the catastrophe for ten years and was fought a little ruthlessly, and after ten years, she was rehabilitated. Later, he has been working in the National Development and Reform Commission, but he died of illness after a few years. Leaving three children, the eldest son, that is, Wang Ziwen's uncle, works in the power system, and the second son, that is, Wang Ziwen's father, takes Lao Tzu's class in the National Development and Reform Commission.
Wang Ziwen also has a sister-in-law, who is married to the son of the lowest-ranking vice minister of the Ministry of Commerce, and he also eats imperial grain in the Ministry of Commerce. And Wang Ziwen's mother is also the daughter of a small family in the capital, and she is involved behind it, and she can also get a deputy minister.
There are many people with a background like Wang Ziwen in the capital, and they seem to be inconspicuous, but they have a close relationship network, either they sharpen their heads and drill into the system, or they use their relationship networks to do business and make money, Wang Ziwen belongs to the second type.
It is knowing Wang Ziwen's background that Bai Yuhan does not want his parents to go to her house for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, he has only seen Wang Ziwen's parents meet once, that is, when he went to deliver New Year's goods with Zhao Dafei during the New Year last year, and stood at the door and chatted a few words. Usually, Bai Yuhan flies south and north, and he doesn't have a chance to meet them, so he is not familiar with their personalities.
But under normal circumstances, the people of the capital are very discriminatory against outsiders, especially this kind of small official family.
Bai Yuhan can bend and stretch, it doesn't matter, I'm afraid that my parents won't be able to stand that kind of vision.
As if to see Bai Yuhan's worry, Wang Ziwen added: "My parents have a good temper, especially my mother, who likes to talk and be lively. You just come over to have a meal together, chat, it's healthier than eating in a restaurant, now many restaurants outside are using gutter oil, which is not safe. ”
It was difficult to resist the enthusiasm, Bai Yuhan had to say: "Won't it be too troublesome?" ”
"Swordsman, not like you usually, such a mother-in-law?"
"Isn't this polite, since you invited, well, let's have a meal together, it just so happens that we have worked together for more than a year, and we really haven't visited your parents once...... The more I think about it, the more ashamed I feel, our partner is really unreliable, I haven't visited your parents, and you haven't met my parents, this is not like a Chinese partner! ”
"So what do you think a Chinese partner should look like?" Wang Ziwen took out his mobile phone and prepared to call home.
"Chinese partners should be a group of people from reckless backgrounds, but they are like-minded, start a business together, and have a close relationship with brothers."
"Just like you and Zhao Dafei?"
"No, I met Zhao Dafei too early, I played since I was a child, and I am a brother myself. We are not like Chinese partners, we are not typical enough, we should be college classmates who start a business together after graduation. There must be at least three people, and the troika sets sail, and this is the Chinese partner. ”
"Why do you have to be three...... Feed. Mom, let me tell you something, I Chinese New Year's Eve dinner tonight, I invited Bai Yuhan and his parents to come to my house for dinner, you can cook a few more dishes......" Wang Ziwen finished the phone briefly, and continued the previous topic, "Why do you have to be three people?" ”
"Three people represent three talents. The number three is very good, Taoism says that three give birth to all things, and geometrically the triangle is the most stable structure. Astronomically speaking, the earth is the third planet in the solar system, and the DNA is encoded using a triplet codon system, and the rule of thirds in design is the most visually impactful, Confucius also said. Threesomes must have my teacher. Titled. You and I are three, but three is also three, and the love triangle is also three, and three is not only three, but also endless. It vividly explains why the Chinese partners want three. ”
"You're just talking nonsense."
"It's nonsense, it's a symbol, Tencent originally had three founders, Ma Huateng, Zhang Zhidong and Zeng Liqing. New Oriental is also three people, Yu Minhong, Xu Xiaoping and Wang Qiang. There were also the Big Three during World War II. Stalin, Roosevelt and Churchill. There is also a Big Three tradition in the NBA, and this year the Celtics have the Big Three of Pierce, Ray Allen and Garnett, and I am optimistic that they will win the championship next year! ”
Wang Ziwen turned his head weakly, sometimes, Bai Yuhan's ability to talk nonsense is as amazing as his screenwriting ability.
After Bai Yuhan finished talking, he sighed again: "It's a pity that we are four partners, one more, otherwise I would have planned to make a movie for a few of us, which is called "Chinese Partners". ”
"We haven't even gone public yet...... Forget it, don't talk about it, you told your uncle and aunt that you will come to my house for the New Year in the evening, and I will go back to the office, and I don't know how many signatures I have to sign today. ”
……
In the evening, I was busy until six o'clock before I got off work.
Because they were going to Wang Ziwen's house for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Bai Yuhan's parents specially packed up the hometown specialties brought to Bai Yuhan and brought them to Wang Ziwen's parents, Wang Hongbing and Liu Xiuyue. Wang Ziwen's parents are indeed not what Bai Yuhan imagined, and they are very enthusiastic about Bai Yuhan's family, especially Wang Ziwen's mother, who is very enthusiastic.
"Brother Bai, sister-in-law, come into the house and sit." Wang Hongbing is very well maintained, like a white-faced scholar, and he speaks calmly, "Xiao Su, go and pour tea for your uncle and aunt." ”
Xiao Su's full name is Wang Zi Su, and she is Wang Ziwen's younger sister. Little Wang Ziwen is seven years old, nineteen years old, and a sophomore at Normal University. Looks a little prettier than her sister.
After sending Wang Zisu to pour tea, Wang Hongbing paid attention to Bai Yuhan again: "Xiaohan, you are the director, I heard that directors have a good hand of painting and a good hand?" ”
Bai Yuhan wondered: "I haven't heard anyone say that directors should have this kind of skill?" ”
"yes, isn't your director going to write a storyboard?"
"I want to write, but I can find someone to write it for me, and I can draw the meaning, and that's it."
"Oh, so that's the case, I thought you directors were very good at calligraphy and painting, I haven't even written Spring Festival couplets yet, I'm going to let you help write them. Your calligraphy is okay, right? Wang Hongbing asked.
Bai Yuhan smiled awkwardly: "I haven't used a brush before." ”
Wang Ziwen relieved Bai Yuhan: "Dad, don't embarrass him, I know you just want to show off your calligraphy, hurry up and write, the swordsman and I just pasted the Spring Festival couplets." ”
Sure enough, Wang Hongbing wrote a good hand.
handed it to Bai Yuhan and Wang Ziwen, and taped it on the top of the door. Then he wrote a few more blessing characters and pasted them on the doors of his house. After finishing these, except for Liu Xiuyue, who was busy in the kitchen, and Chen Xianglan, who had to help, everyone else was chatting in the living room while watching "Year after Year".
chatted and chatted, but still focused on the film and television industry and talked about the development of Wanhetianyi. After chatting about development, the meal was not ready, Wang Hongbing and Bai Chang prepared a game of carriage and horse elephant cannon by the way. Bai Yuhan chatted with Wang Ziwen and Wang Zisu on the sofa. This pair of sister flowers is still very good.
"Brother Swordsman, I heard my sister say that your nickname is because you yearn for the ancient sword warriors, so you are called the White Swordsman?" Prince Su asked, with wide eyes.
Bai Yuhan nodded: "Almost, when I was young, I liked to fight and kill." I often fantasize about how good it would be if I knew martial arts, pick up a straw casually, shake off the internal strength, the straw is like a steel needle, swoop, inserted into the trunk of the tree, and then as soon as I let go, the straw hung down at both ends, passers-by were surprised when they saw it, how did this straw be inserted into the tree pole, I pretended to be disdainful and waved my sleeves, and left in a chic manner, you say cool or not.
