Chapter Forty-Nine: Coming Together
There seemed to be something special in Jenny's eyes, and I didn't notice it at first, but I thought I walked over and smiled at her, then thought for a moment, and hugged her hard - God testifies, this is definitely just an ordinary hug, probably because my life in North America is too old, and it is purely a knee-jerk that has been nurtured by Western habits.
But then, I felt Jenny's arms wrap around me so hard, she hugged me so hard, as if she was about to crush her whole body into my arms, I was defenseless, and I was almost strangled by her.
I could clearly feel her body still trembling gently in my arms, and I felt her rapid breathing and trembling body so closely...... Suddenly, my heart moved, and I immediately sensed something.
As if to confirm my suspicions, as soon as I looked down, I saw Jenny's eyes, this look no longer needs to be explained, as long as a man is not an idiot, he should understand what it means to look at you with such eyes in the face of a woman.
I didn't say anything, just let go of my hand and patted Jenny on the back before she finally let go of me.
"Hello, beauty." I deliberately smiled lightly: "Long time no see, beautiful again." ”
Jenny didn't speak.
I scratched my scalp: "Huh...... Now you're so popular, and you've been covered with posters all over the past two days......"
Jenny still didn't speak, just looked at me.
“…… ......I smiled a little wryly, but suddenly I saw tears welling up in her eyes. I was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Yi? What are you crying about? ”
I couldn't help but panic and said loudly, "Is it that Korean bullying you?" I lowered my face and said loudly: "Tu! Go break his legs and let him crawl back to Korea! ”
"Don't!" Jenny finally spoke, she quickly stopped me, and then shook her head, her eyes were complicated, and she looked at me faintly for a long time, and suddenly took a breath, and a smile bloomed on her face: "It's nothing...... It's just that I haven't seen you for a long time, and I'm so happy. ”
Everyone present saw this scene, but only Ning Yan was alone, her face was a little gloomy, she sighed softly, and glanced at Jenny with a regretful gaze.
I had no intention of facing Jenny like this again, so I quickly found an excuse: "You continue to rehearse, work matters...... Well, we still have something to talk about. ”
Knowing that I was making excuses, Ning Yan pursed her lips and smiled: "Yes, that's good." Xiao Wu and I still have business to discuss. Jenny, go ahead with rehearsals...... Hmmm......"
"Yes, yes, yes! You continue to rehearse, and the question of stage direction is wrapped up in me...... Well, okay, I'll invite you all to dinner in the evening. Now let's work with peace of mind! ”
As if I had escaped, I escaped from this rehearsal room and returned to another reception room before I was slightly relieved.
As soon as I sat down, I made a phone call to Billy Hills Films in Hollywood, and Bucktooth was entrusted by me to go to Billy Hills Films to do some final legal formalities, because the investment in the new films was divided equally between us and several companies according to the unspoken rules of Hollywood, and this time we didn't eat alone.
"Lawyer Zhou, do me a favor." I said quickly on the phone, "I need a couple of stage directors, and I need to be top-notch." In the shortest possible time, I don't care if you grab it or dig your feet at a high price. Anyway, get me a few first-class stage directors to come to Shanghai, quickly. ”
After hanging up the phone, it took less than half an hour for the United States to reply.
This time, the place of call was not Bucktooth Zhou, but Charlie, the former general manager of Billy Hill Company, who should be the manager of the public relations department after the joint venture with the Rothschild family, this is an old fritter who has mixed up with the American film industry. He did it in half an hour.
"I've got a master for you, Buffy Swan, female, thirty-six, black...... This guy is a sought-after item, she used to be the queen stage director of the eldest sister Madonna, Madonna is now semi-retired, she gave Britney a year of world tour, and you can see the effect of Britney's concert that year. Two years ago, she got married, and then withdrew from the stage, and it was useless for Christie and Bions to ask her to go out of the mountain at a high price, and she was determined to be a housewife. But now that she just got divorced last month, I immediately found her when I received your call, and the conversation went well. Her ex-husband is a celebrity in the American circle, so she doesn't want to stay in the United States, and when she heard that he was going to China, and the price was high, she immediately agreed......
I smiled with satisfaction......
Damn, give Madonna and Britney as a stage guide! How can it not be a master!
After hanging up the phone, I looked at Ning Yan: "Well, I've found your stage director...... Buffy Swan, it turns out that Madonna and Britney are the royal stage directors, and they are qualified to train Jenny. ”
Ning Yan was stunned for a moment, then her face changed dramatically, and she glared at me excitedly: "Who are you talking about?" Buffy Swan? Oh my God, you actually got her!! She's a gold medalist! ”
"Hehe, with Xiao Wu's current popularity and status in the American entertainment industry...... Not to mention Buffy Swan, even if he invited Britney to make a guest appearance as Jenny's concert guest, it wouldn't be a difficult thing, right? Jojo winked at me, "I've read entertainment newspapers, and Britney said in interviews that you're her idol." ”
But my eyes suddenly lit up: "What Jojo said is not impossible. It's not difficult to really invite one or two big names from Europe and the United States to be guests at Jenny's concert. It's just that it's too late for the concert in Shanghai this time. ”
"Well, in the future, if Jenny is interested, she can even arrange for her to make a movie, and now there is a new and popular Hollywood film company owner sitting here!" Jojo still smiled.
I glanced at Jojo, but I didn't understand why she was suddenly so enthusiastic about Jenny's affairs.
"Let's talk about making movies later, for now, we must first stabilize Jenny's position in the music industry. In the future, we will develop in many aspects, and then make a plan. Ning Yan smiled.
After sitting and chatting for a while, Ning Yan still had a job, so she went out to make arrangements. There were four of us jackals left in the room, and there was also yoyo.
"You...... Jojo. I coughed and glanced at Qiao Qiao, "Why were you so enthusiastic just now?" ”
Qiaoqiao glared at me, then sighed, "What are you pretending to be stupid again." ”
Before I could speak, I saw Mu and Aze next to me looking at me with strange eyes.
After being watched like this by these three guys for a long time, my heart suddenly moved, and I blurted out, "You guys...... I already knew, right? ”
The three of them didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.
The three of them were originally in China, and it seems that they have known about it for a long time.
After a while, Mu Tou slowly spoke: "A woman, young and beautiful, has had some painful past...... And in this case, a powerful man appeared and saved her from the sea of suffering, plus this man was young, handsome, and had some ability...... In this case, ninety-nine percent of women can't help but fall in love with this man, even if they don't fall in love, in the face of such a great kindness, they can only repay it with a 'personal promise'...... Haven't you thought about such a simple truth yourself? ”
I couldn't speak, only coughed a few times to hide the embarrassment in my heart.
"What is a personal pledge?" Just when the four of us were glaring at each other, Yoyo, who was originally sitting quietly on the side, suddenly asked, the little girl opened her big innocent eyes, looking at us innocently, and finally her eyes fell on me: "Are you talking about sister?" ”
"Ahem......" I coughed, then smiled, "Adults are talking about things." Don't ask so much about children. ”
Yoyo rolled his eyes, looked at me and said, "You don't have to hide it from me, I know you're talking about my sister." She looked at me: "My sister promised you a promise, right?" ”
I don't know how to answer it.
Yoyo lowered her head and thought for a while, and then suddenly looked at me with a very serious expression: "My sister said that you are our benefactor, and we must repay you...... Well, if my sister promised you in person...... So...... So......" Xiao Nizi's face suddenly showed a twisted look of points: "So...... I'll give it to you with my sister, okay? ”
……
…………
"I knew that this guy's purpose of saving this little girl with kindness back then was not so simple!" Aze sighed.
"yes!" Qiao Qiao glared at me viciously: "It turns out that you are still 'Loli Kong'!" Hum! ”
When I couldn't cry or laugh, Mu Tou had already added a sentence slowly: "Lori control plus cultivation system......"
"......" I glared at the guys, "Damn, don't talk nonsense with you!" Lao Tzu can't provoke you, but he can hide! ”
Aze: "Look, that's getting angry. ”
Jojo: "Well, it must be because we exposed the evil intentions!" ”
Wood: "This is a kind of annoyance and anger after being exposed. ”
I was "furious", jumped up from the sofa, rolled up my sleeves and scolded with a smile: "Okay! The three of you! Is there a rìzi who didn't fight, and all of them have itchy skin? Come on, come on! "[Heaven's Kiss Hand Punch]
With that, the four of us were giggling and laughing in the room.
Immediately, the four of them had already twisted together, holding their heads and twisting their arms.
"Damn, have you ever seen a fist the size of a casserole!"
"Look at the old lady's flirting yīn legs ......"
"Damn! Jojo, what are you kicking me for! This is Aze's scream.
Next to Yoyo, he was stunned to see the four of us adults chatting and chatting well, but suddenly they were in a mess, and several people were rolling around on the ground, which made Yoyo a little dazed.
But after a while, tired of the beating, we finally stopped, sat on the ground and gasped, and then took out our cigarettes and smoked them with a smile -- this kind of fight used to be a joke that the four of us used to joke about when we were messing around in Nanjing. It's just that the best friends have to play with each other.
I lit the cigarette, and the wood had already been snatched away: "Minors, don't smoke." With that, he quickly snatched the cigarettes from Aze and Qiaoqiao's hands.
"Gotcha! We can't afford to provoke, we can afford to hide. Qiaoqiao opened his mouth, and then pulled Aze up from the ground: "Let's go, let's go outside and smoke." ”
Wood didn't look at Qiao Qiao and them, just got up from the ground and walked to Yoyo's side, patted her head, smiled and said gently, "Yoyo, don't be afraid, we're having fun." ”
I also sat down on the sofa again, glanced at Yoyo, and suddenly said, "I took in an apprentice and a girl abroad." I'm about the same age as you, so I'll have the opportunity to introduce you to you. ”
Wood immediately nodded: "That's fine, Yoyo's age." It's a good thing to have more friends, that apprentice of yours, that little girl is also a smart girl...... Alas, I just think she's a little too smart sometimes. ”
Qiao Qiao walked over and gently nudged me: "Okay, people are in a 'father-daughter relationship'." Let's go out for a cigarette. ”
I didn't move, but I looked at the wood's gaze, which was indeed a rare kind of warmth and kindness. It's a little weird to have such a gaze in the eyes of a medical geek who likes to read comics and keep skull specimens in the refrigerator.
My heart suddenly moved: "Wood, I don't think you ...... Well, just let Yoyo worship you as a godfather. ”
Jojo immediately laughed and clapped his hands: "Good idea! ”
Aze sighed deliberately: "Alas, pity us wood, we are still a pistol party now...... The woman had never touched it, but suddenly a daughter came...... Poor, pitiful! ”
No matter how calm Mu is, he can't help but be a little anxious: "You are the pistol party!" ”
"Hah!" Aze deliberately laughed and said, "I, Aze, am a pistol party? Hum! Lao Tzu has been killed by a thousand! The three words pistol party can't be on my turn Aze. ”
Indeed, it is impossible for a recognized playboy like Aze to hang the words "pistol party" on him.
Qiao Qiao sighed and patted the wood on the shoulder in fear: "Okay, let's raise our hands and vote...... In this room, the only pistol party is wooden, with a raised hand in agreement. ”
After saying that, Qiao Qiao raised his hand, then Aze, and finally I glanced at the wood: "Brother, it's not that I don't help you, facts speak louder than words." ”
The muscles on Wood's face were throbbing, but Qiao Qiao was deliberately still teasing him, making a fuss and saying, "Yi? Wood, do you still want to deny it? Why don't you lift? ”
"No...... Don't lift? Wood finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted, "Damn! You! You! You don't lift it!! ”
Under the anger of the wood, he had already lost his calm, and then beat Qiaoqiao and Aze all the way, and the three of them quickly chased out the door.
I sat and laughed with my stomach in my hands, but I couldn't help but see Yoyo's big eyes still looking at me with interest.
The room was left with me and the little girl, and Yoyo's eyes looked at me carefully for a long time, as if the more I looked, the more interested I became.
Suddenly, she said in a crisp and delicate voice, "You...... Will you still be my brother-in-law? ”
"Uh...... Belch? What the? ”
"When you were in my house, you said that you were my brother-in-law's." Yoyo said very seriously.
I smiled wryly and thought about it carefully, it seemed that there was indeed such a thing, but it was just a joke to coax children when the situation was special.
Yoyo looked at me and didn't speak, and suddenly sighed faintly: "Alas, you are now repentant." ”
"Hmm." The little angel nodded vigorously, and then said in a low voice: "I know, men become bad once they have money...... You seem to be rich. Well, it must be so, so you want to abandon my sister, right? ”
"This ...... It's not like this...... "I cried and mourned, and then it took a lot of words to finally make up a reason to coax this Nizi, I don't care if she can understand it or not, and explain the situation in general and carefully, of course, some things about fighting and killing, I didn't tell this little girl.
After listening to it, although Yoyo's face was still a little dazed, he thought about it very seriously, and then smiled: "Say so." Didn't you abandon my sister? ”
"I ......," I finally sighed, "I have a wife." Your sister and I are just friends, and there is no such thing as abandoning or not abandoning. ”
"You have a wife?" Yoyo was shocked and looked at me: "You really have a wife?" ”
After that, there was a stupid expression on his face, and he kept sighing.
Looking at Xiao Nizi's lost expression, coupled with her angelic face and pure eyes, I suddenly felt a little guilty, and couldn't help but say softly: "Okay, you are still young, these things are not something you should consider." Well, can you ...... Oh, don't be sad, come on, laugh. ”
Yoyo shook her head: "I can't laugh, I feel very uncomfortable, and my sister must be very uncomfortable too." ”
I can't tell her that her sister is just unrequited. This kind of thing doesn't make sense for a little girl her age. After thinking about it for a while, I finally had an idea: "Shall I tell you a story?" ”
"Storytelling?" Yoyo glanced at me, and there was a funny expression on his face: "You don't know how to tell stories, I know." ”
Well...... I almost forgot when I was in Vietnam. The truth is that instead of telling a story, this little girl sat next to me and told me Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales for two hours in order to comfort my pain.
Thinking of me Chen Yang Chen Xiaowu, what an iron-blooded man who kills people and sets fires, he actually lies stupidly and listens to a ten-year-old girl tell me the story of a little girl who sells matches in the afternoon, and the frog prince and princess...... If it spreads, won't it make people laugh off their big teeth?
"Hmm...... It's true that I don't tell fairy tales. I sighed.
"Who wants to listen to fairy tales......" Yoyo pouted: "Do you think I'm still ten years old?" I'm thirteen years old, and now my classmates are all reading romance novels...... Can you tell a love story? ”
A love story?
Belch...... I, a woman with a lot of flowers, am a man, accompanied by such a flower-like little Lori, and told her a love story...... Imagine such a scene. It's as if the strange uncle is seducing underage girls......
However, in order to make this little girl forget about the topic of "brother-in-law" for a while, I still stubbornly smiled and said: "Okay, I will have a ...... love story"
Coughing, I said slowly, "Once upon a time, in a deep mountain, there was a pair of brothers and sisters. My brother has a pair of ears that are downwind and can hear movements far, far away. My sister has a pair of clairvoyance, and she can see things far, far away. Relying on the skills of the two brothers and sisters, they avoided the danger of many foreign predators outside the mountain.
However, the brother and sister have been together for a long time, and they have developed feelings, and they fall in love......
When I said this, Yoyo was already holding his chin: "Wow...... What a love affair! ”
I wiped my sweat and continued, "Hmm...... This is a love regardless of it, so the love between the brother and sister was collectively opposed by other members of the mountain tribe, and the brother and sister were not allowed to be together. The brother and sister love each other very much and are reluctant to separate, and in the end, they make a tragic decision...... The elder brother pierced his ears deaf, and the younger sister blinded her clairvoyance, and they left the tribe and fled to the deepest part of the mountains, where they lived on each other...... And this love story touched many, many people, and many years later, there was a song about the brother and sister, which was sung by many, many people......"
Like many people who have heard this story, this little girl really took the bait: "What song? ”
I coughed, wiped my sweat, and then opened my voice and sang, "Two tigers, two tigers...... One without eyes, the other without ears, it's weird, it's weird! ”
……
The awkward atmosphere between me and Yoyo finally disappeared, and Xiao Nizi, who knew that she had been tricked, came over and chased me with a smile, and after the two of us made a fuss in the room for a while, she finally forgot about the topic of her brother-in-law for a while.
After a while, Ning Yan came back and knocked on the door, she walked in, first glanced at Yoyo who was giggling and laughing with me in surprise, and then looked at me, her face was a little strange: "Chen Yang...... Well, you ......"
"Is there something wrong? Ning Yan? I let go of Yoyo and patted the dust off her skirt again.
"Hmm......" Ning Yan looked at my face carefully: "Fang...... Miss Fang is here, just arrived, she knows you are here and wants to see you. ”
Oh?
I immediately stood up and looked at Ning Yan.
"Hmm...... She, she asks you to come over for a moment. ”
I could hear something unusual.
Fang Nan's sudden arrival may not be surprising...... Fang Nan didn't seem surprised that he wanted to see me.
Strange is the phrase "she asked me to come over for a moment".
Because if Fang Nan wanted to see me, he would naturally come over. Instead of asking Ning Yan to invite me to go - she would never put a strong woman and a female boss in front of me.
Sure enough, Ning Yan added: "Hmm...... Mr. Qiao came with Miss Fang. ”
"Mr. Qiao?"
"It's Miss Jojo's father." Ning Yan smiled bitterly: "I met Qiao Qiao outside just now, and after she heard that Mr. Qiao was coming, she didn't have time to say hello to you, and she had already run away from the fire escape." ”
