Chapter 153: Alumni
Two happy laughs, one large and one small, came from the living room, and Zhao Yazhi poked his head out of the kitchen and glanced over the dining room.
On the sofa, Wang Guxian and Xinyi were playing a game of clapping hands.
Although she has only lived here for less than two days, Wang Guxian is already familiar with Xinyi, although she has to correct her every time the little guy calls her sister, she is actually just a big child.
Zhao Yayi was still a little dissatisfied with Lin Xi for leaving people here with him, especially when he heard that Wang Guxian was still quietly "abducted" by Lin Xi, and he didn't understand what he did.
However, after getting along for two days, Zhao Yazhi found that Wang Guxian was simple-minded and got along well with his daughter, so he slowly accepted her.
The only bad thing is that it is not so convenient for Lin Xi to come over and make love to her in the future.
Lin Xi was worried that Wang Guxian was renting a house outside alone, so she was temporarily placed here by Zhao Yazhi, but she didn't expect to be cocooned and self-bound, and she regretted it in her heart, but the wood was already in the boat, and she could only endure it first.
During this period, Wang Guxian also made several phone calls to his home, but he hung up without saying a few words, and he didn't have to guess that he knew that he had not yet received the family's understanding, and even his parents had threatened that she would call the police if she didn't go back.
After Wang Guxian told Lin Xi about this matter, Lin Xi just asked her to stabilize the family side for the time being, and the new film on his side will officially start filming in a few days.
"What, haven't found it yet? I've already told you all the details, fourteen to fifteen years old, if not, the conditions will be relaxed, as long as it's a girl surnamed Qiu at this age. Of course, the kind of person who looks very sorry for the audience will forget it, okay, that's it, I'll give you three more days to find this person. Add another 10,000 to the payout! ā
Lin Xi hung up the phone, wiped the sweat from his forehead, picked up the collar of the shirt that had been unbuttoned early and fanned it.
It's not hot anymore, but it's still hot in my heart.
It has been more than a week since he handed over the actor's information to the talent scout here in Hong Kong, and it should have been a result even if he looked for a needle in a haystack, but he found nothing. Lin Xi couldn't get angry if he wasn't in a hurry.
Finally calmed down, Lin Xi couldn't help but wonder if there was no such person in this time and space at all, or because of some other reasons, she was born later or a few years early. That's why I couldn't find anyone.
Wait another three days, if there is no news, then you can only change.
As I was thinking this, the phone rang suddenly.
Lin Xi grabbed the microphone, and a very excited voice came from the other end of the phone: "Mr. Lin, find it, we found that person!" Pui Ching Secondary School is here in Mong Kok. ā
"Pei Zheng Middle School?" Hearing this name, Lin Xi was subconsciously stunned, because he studied in this school from the first to the third level. Later, he transferred to St. Francis High School, where he is also an alumnus.
After a brief stunned moment, Lin Xi's mind returned to business.
"Didn't you say that you searched all the secondary schools in Hong Kong? Why didn't I find it before? And now you say you've found it? ā
"Mr. Lin, listen to my explanation, you really can't blame us for being careless in this matter, the main thing is that the person you are looking for has only recently transferred to Peizheng Middle School, which may have delayed some time, and when we go to find it, the school she studied before has already deleted all her student registration information. And Peizheng is not enrolled here, and she can't be found on the student registration information. This time we started looking for her a second time, as you asked, and only then did we find her. ā
The other end of the line was busy explaining. Lin Xi didn't have time to delve into what went wrong in this link, so he directly interrupted and said: "Okay, since the person has been found, of course the benefits I promised before will not be less than yours, fax her details over immediately, I need it urgently!" ā
Not long after the phone was put down, the fax machine rang, and soon a detailed student registration information arrived in Lin Xi's hand.
After just glancing at the blurry printed photo, Lin Xi was sure that this was the person he was looking for, and he was secretly amused in his heart: sure enough, it took no effort to step on the iron shoes and find nowhere to go, but he didn't expect that she was still his own alumnus.
The next thing is simple, Lin Xi took a taxi directly to Peizheng Middle School, and when he was stopped at the door, he directly said that he wanted to see the principal, and the doorman made a suspicious call to the school office, and he was quickly let go.
According to the memory in his body, Lin Xi came to the office building familiarly, and Liu Jiacheng, the secretary of the principal of Peizheng Middle School, was already waiting there.
"Secretary Liu, long time no see."
Lin Xi took the initiative to stretch out his hand, and Liu Jiacheng was stunned for a moment before he reacted, but he was full of emotion in his heart
Speaking of which, Liu Jiacheng and Lin Xi are also old acquaintances, but every time they met before, Liu Jiacheng would feel a headache, because at that time, Lin Xi was either absent from class or was sued by the teacher to the principal because he slept in class, and then the principal sent him to wipe Lin Xi's ass every time.
For this stubborn student, Liu Jiacheng can be said to be disgusted to the extreme, but he didn't expect that one day he would have to accompany him with a smiling face, and he was still willing to do so.
"Principal Chen is waiting for you, let's go up, shall we?"
Lin Xi nodded, and the appearance of a middle-aged man with glasses appeared in his mind.
Although they haven't seen each other for almost two years, the appearance of Chen Mingde, the principal of Peizheng Middle School, has not changed much, but the look in Lin Xi's eyes is no longer the regret of hating and not being able to succeed before, but is full of relief.
"You didn't come before, why didn't you come here today without saying a word?" Chen Mingde beckoned Lin Xi to sit down at the desk, looked at him seriously, nodded and said, "Sure enough, if you judge the two of you before, even your spirit is different." ā
Lin Xi pretended to be very embarrassed and said: "When I came to this office before, I basically did something wrong and waited to be punished, but of course my appearance is different." ā
Chen Mingde waved his hand and said: "Okay, it's all over, now you are also one of the well-known alumni of our Peizheng Middle School, I heard that you are here, I have to come to entertain you, right?" ā
After all, the time when he was studying in Peizheng Middle School was not experienced by Lin Xi personally, so he didn't want to continue on this topic.
"Headmaster, don't make fun of me anymore, by the way, how is my wife doing lately?"
"It's good, you mentioned you to me some time ago, by the way, your dad has been okay lately?"
Chen Mingde and Lin Shu are college classmates, which is why Lin Xi was not expelled from Peizheng Middle School for such nonsense, and there were occasional phone exchanges between the two, but they hadn't seen each other for a long time.
Lin Xi put down the teacup and said casually: "It's okay, it should be quite moisturizing." ā
Chen Mingde was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, he knew about Lin Shu and Xia Meng, and of course he knew what Lin Xi meant by moisturizing.
After laughing, he pointed his finger at Lin Xi, "You, even your father can't let go of the opportunity to tease!" ā
Lin Xi pursed his lips, "Principal, you're not an outsider, it's okay to talk about it, right?" ā
Chen Mingde sat up straight, looked at Lin Xi and asked, "Since you don't treat me as an outsider, let's talk about it, what's the matter with coming back this time?" ā
"I'm preparing to make a movie, which tells the story of three middle school girls, and the filming location has not yet been decided, so I want to borrow some scenes from Peizheng Middle School, of course, it is not for nothing, it is to pay rent."
"What is the story of a high school girl?" Chen Mingde lifted his glasses, "This is too simple, right?" What is the specific content, if it is like "Pretty Girl", it will definitely not work, the negative impact on the school is too great, even if I agree, the school board will not agree. ā
Although "Pretty Girl" caused an unprecedented sensation in the Hong Kong film industry and society after its release, it was widely controversial because of the film's gloomy and indifferent atmosphere, bold exposure of the dark side of society, and some restrictive shots, and even the theme song "Freedom in My Hands" was banned by TV stations because of the suspicion of "encouraging teenagers to run away from home".
"Headmaster, do you think I look like someone who can make a movie like 'Pretty Girl'?"
Lin Xi's words stopped Chen Mingde.
Thinking about it carefully, although Lin Xi can be regarded as a bad student in school, he just likes to skip school and skip class, and he has no contact with the students in those mixed clubs in society, and he has never participated in fights or anything, so compared with the real bad students, he is at most not motivated, and he has not yet reached the point of being willing to fall.
"I can't reveal the script to the principal for the time being, you know, but I can guarantee that this movie will not have any negative impact on the school, because it is a comedy, so at most it is a little spoof."
Lin Xi continued to explain like this, and Chen Mingde was completely relieved.
"The venue can be lent to you, of course, the rent is free, and it will be better if you donate a sum of money to the school."
As an alumnus of Peizheng Middle School, Lin Xi's donation to the school is a matter of long-standing for both parties, and Chen Mingde's mention of yƬ is obviously more clever than Lin Xi's proposal to pay rent, so Lin Xi of course agreed with kindness.
"Principal, I also want to select some students from the school to be extras, of course, the filming time will be placed on Sunday, and it will not delay everyone's normal learning, you see this matter......"
After thinking about it for a while, Chen Mingde replied directly: "This matter is no problem, but the school is only responsible for informing everyone that there is such an opportunity, and whether anyone is willing to sign up is the student's own business, and the school cannot force it." ā
Lin Xi saw that the plan was already halfway successful, and immediately clapped his hands and praised: "The principal is wise!" (To be continued) R655
