[208] Dad's new job
I didn't make it to Dongshan Lake on Sunday morning to practice, and the film and television city was too far away from there, so I hope the old man won't be angry with me because of it.
As I imagined, Su Qiao and I passed the audition the next day, and while I felt lucky, I couldn't help but criticize the decadence and degeneration of US imperialism:
Why is it so important to have a backer? I thought that you, the United States, known as the beacon of human civilization, had already passed the old social habit of "selling favors"! It turns out that everyone is an orangutan and a monkey, don't you think anyone has a lot of hair?
suddenly remembered that Niu Shili had complained to others, and he had been chasing the British drama "The Legend of Merlin", because one of the average-looking actresses was the fiancée of the director of the series, so the director actually asked her to play the role of Queen Arthur, who should have been peerless, and let a group of king knights fight for her in the play.
You and your fiancée are Lang out of the birds! It doesn't matter if the audience's eyes can stand it, can it!
Because I was going to play a monk, it was really hot for me to wear a hood in the summer, but Su Qiao was able to take off the armor that I had worn for two weeks and change into a cool costume similar to that of a maid in the Ming Dynasty.
After the director announced that she had passed the audition, Su Qiao couldn't hide the joy in her heart, and ran to me and said many words of thanks. Probably because she had undressed in my room last night, her cheeks were flushed, and once I looked at her for a long time, she would be at a loss, and she would not stand or sit.
"Mr. Ye, if you ...... If there's anything I need in the future, be sure to let me know and I'll be there. ”
Where do you need it? Do you want you to perform acrobatics at the birthday party of one of my distant nephews? The term "on-call" is a little ambiguous! I'm polluted by the ** in my dad's hard drive, and I always want to go in the direction of the call girl!
As if to prove her sincerity, Su Qiao gave me her mobile phone number. Her phone is an old Nokia model, and the case is a bit broken.
"Mr. Ye, make you smile," Speaking of this, her melancholy expression showed a rare bright color, "If I receive the contract money from the crew, I will change to a more decent mobile phone, but of course the mobile phone card will not be changed, otherwise you can't find me when you call, how rude it will be......"
I casually asked, "You're going to rent a closer house too, right?" ”
Su Qiao nodded, "Thanks to Mr. Ye, I can walk a lot less every day." ”
"By the way, will your distant cousin continue to live with you?"
I don't know how I asked this question, maybe I remembered the sentence that the history teacher mentioned in passing when he talked about the Chen Sheng and Wu Guang uprisings, "Gou Fugui, don't forget each other".
At the mention of his distant cousin, Su Qiao was unexpectedly a little panicked.
She ...... She suddenly received a call from her hometown boyfriend and dropped everything here to go back to get married! So, I'm a human being again......"
I think it was too much of a coincidence that Su Qiao's cousin chose to go back to her hometown at this time to get married, but after asking Aunt Ren, I found out that my cousin's marriage was true.
It's just that it happened at the wrong time.
As soon as Su Qiao's cousin returned to the rental house three days ago, she saw her boyfriend at the door who was kneeling on one knee with flowers in his hand and rushing over from thousands of miles away.
Therefore, the person who persuaded Su Qiao to come to my unspoken rules could not be her cousin, and Su Qiao lied about this matter.
However, it is not difficult to understand that when a girl is desperate to sacrifice herself to a strange man, it is indeed a shame to say that it is someone else's idea, and no one can guarantee that her cousin has never said anything like this to her before.
Dad often said: If you have no desire, you are strong, and you are always vulnerable in the face of temptation.
That's a good point, but it's confusing to put it on himself.
I was busy on the set until 8 p.m. (and I can't remember what I did), and Aunt Ren drove me home after work.
Although the atmosphere in the car was a little tense along the way, and Xiaoqin whimsically wanted me to sing to her, I was still grateful for avoiding the fatigue of crowding the subway.
I can see that Aunt Ren is more tired than anyone else on the set, and Wu Zhi is like the chief surgeon, which sounds glamorous, but it is actually super physical work (doctors often stand for 14 hours continuously during major surgery). They are not so much white-collar workers as blue-collar workers with higher incomes, similar to miners in the United States (not comparable to Chinese miners).
Although she was cold to me on the surface, but before and after every meal, Aunt Ren always asked me if I had eaten and where I ate.
So looking at Aunt Ren's slightly tired figure behind the wheel at night, I felt very nostalgic in my heart.
When I was young, I liked Aunt Ren very much, and the little bully didn't dare to bully me in front of my mother, and Aunt Ren always gave me candy to eat - I was still handsome and beautiful back then, and Aunt Ren liked me a lot.
Time has passed, Xiaobawang has become a girl, and Aunt Ren doesn't like me anymore, to her, I'm just a bad boy who wants to kidnap her daughter.
Walking into the door of the house that I hadn't been back for almost two days, the smell of beer and mold went straight to my nose, no wonder Amy said that our house stinks, and it seems that we really need to clean it up.
As soon as I got to the living room, I noticed my father's face sinking like water, wearing a crisp suit, the lenses of his glasses carefully polished, and he sat behind the dining table like a professor waiting for the class to start.
If the changes are welcome, the suitcase at his feet is a cause for concern.
"Dad, what are you doing here! Dressed like a dog, are you going to run away from home! Don't you dare to be a little more unproductive! ”
I'm almost out of anger, after my dad was hit by Ai Shuqiao for the second time, he couldn't even write the ** comment that he had been obsessed with - is a woman's toxin so terrible?
After listening to my speculation, my father looked very embarrassed.
"Xiaolin, you, you misunderstood, Dad is out to do business."
Doing business? What kind of business are you going to do with your suitcase! Are you going to go to the United States to find Ai Shuqiao? If it's going to beat her up, I'll go with you! But according to your kind of muddy feelings for her, maybe you will only look at her from a distance and run back with tears streaming down your face! I don't want to be embarrassed by you and go to the United States!
"Xiaolin, I'm not going far away, but an old classmate from the past, he is now the vice president of the university, and he wants to ask me to help him compile a textbook on space physics. He has been talking to me about this for a long time, but I have not agreed, but recently, this kind of thing has happened, and I am very confused at home, so I want to take the opportunity of compiling textbooks to be quiet......"
Huh? Which university? Was it the university you used to teach? Why is it that your old classmate has been a vice principal for so many years, and his proficiency in compiling teaching materials is not as good as you, who has been selling sex toys for more than ten years?
The vice president rented a single room in a hotel for his father near the university town in Dongcheng District, and the room was cleaned by waiters every day, and three meals a day were also reimbursed.
The reason why my dad has been reluctant to agree before is that he can't let go of the business in the store, and recently he found out that I also take good care of the online store, and the old classmate came to beg him again, so he was embarrassed to refuse.
"Xiaolin, I went out to help people compile teaching materials, firstly, to change my mood, and secondly, the remuneration is also good, but I am a little worried that you still have an online store at home...... Do you think you can do it at home on your own this month? Will the online store and schoolwork weigh on you, you are too tired! If you don't think so, I'll stop the job right away......"
Don't, don't push it off! Although your idea is just to hide in the ivory tower to escape from Ai Shukyo, maybe this is your chance to return to college! I'd rather have a dad who is a university lecturer than an adult store owner!
What is the business of an online store? In the past, you survived three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, I am young and not alcoholic, let alone let me run for a month, it is no problem to operate for a year! At most, use your mobile phone as a customer service when you are in class, go home and move the box to distribute the goods, and call the courier to pick up the goods! Moving boxes can also be exercised by the way, and I usually spend more energy hitting sandbags!
So I couldn't help but push my dad out of the house and told him that I was completely fine at home alone, not only was it okay, but I could also increase the turnover of the online store, and if you didn't make up the textbook, don't come back to see me.
My father hesitated to tell me, "Well, I'll send you the specific address on your phone tomorrow." Although compiling textbooks requires a relatively quiet environment, Xiaolin, you must inform me of something, and I will definitely find time to help you hold a parent-teacher conference or something......"
"No, no, no! Immerse yourself in the ocean of knowledge! I also need a quiet environment to run an online store! ”
It is very inappropriate to have Shu Zhe's unbeaten expression in his mind, if my father is not at home, I will trick him into being a "rope model", and I can be more unscrupulous and inhumane.
