12. Learn from your brothers
Zhu Keqi is a few years older than him, and his thinking is more mature than his peers, they have known each other since childhood, and their relationship is so good that they are like brothers, and he has always regarded Zhu Keqi as his own brother.
The next day, at noon, the weather was unbelievably hot, and the cicadas were noisy.
Gu Jingxing sat in the Persian Cat Coffee House at No. 18 on the Bund, drinking American iced coffee with milk, and called Zhu Keqi, who was already more than ten minutes late, a little impatiently.
No one answered, and after the last sip of coffee, his brow furrowed a little.
Zhu Keqi, this guy, in addition to not being late for work, is a regular late person for an appointment.
The best feature of this café is that there is a basket at the cash register, and a fat Persian cat lives in the basket.
This Persian cat is very homely, and it almost never leaves this basket except for going to the toilet and eating cat food.
Gu Jingxing walked over boredly and saw the Persian cat playing with yarn balls in the basket, so he stroked the cat for a while.
Because Gu Jingxing is an old customer, the cat didn't resist him, squinted his eyes, spread his belly and let him stroke, showing a very enjoyable look.
After waiting for another five minutes, Zhu Keqi was late.
Gu Jingxing didn't greet him either, and after Zhu Keqi ordered a cup of Italian foam coffee, he asked straight to the point: "Brother Qi, how did you chase Sister-in-law No. 1 and Sister-in-law No. 2 in the first place?" ”
"Are they chasing me?" Zhu Keqi flipped through a magazine, didn't even raise his eyelids, and smiled lazily.
"Both?"
"Hmm."
"Brother, you're so tired! It's so charming! So how did they catch up in the first place? "Gu Jingxing, who has a request for people, blows rainbow farts wildly.
"There are a lot of people chasing you! There are both men and women, old and young, and your experience of being chased is not less than mine, so can't you learn and use it? Zhu Keqi said with a smile.
"There are a lot of people chasing me, but the problem is that they didn't succeed! Brother, what did the former sister-in-law No. 1 and the current sister-in-law No. 2 do to impress you? Gu Jingxing asked with a smile.
Zhu Keqi put down the magazine, thought about it seriously, and said with a smile: "My first girlfriend was originally just my friend, which is the kind that can be talked about more often. Didn't I go to France to study directing at that time? When I told her about this decision, I thought she would dissuade me not to go. I didn't expect her to be very supportive. Moreover, I was very touched that she was willing to give up everything in China and go to France to study with me and take care of my daily life and diet. It was during that time that love sprouted. ”
"Oh...... It is to support her to pursue her dreams and accompany her to realize her dreams...... I see, thank you, brother! "Gu Jingxing is a smart person, and he can understand it at all.
Zhu Keqi smiled and nodded, revealing a relieved expression that could be taught.
Gu Jingxing patted his thigh and smiled excitedly: "I know her dream, it is to travel around the world." Her current goal is to be the heroine of your online drama and earn a lot of money, and then she can use her summer vacation to travel to Europe. The European country she most wanted to visit was France. Wow, what a special girl! My vision is really good! ”
Zhu Keqi, who was drinking coffee, smiled and said, "I really haven't seen anyone with thicker skin than you." But ah, chasing girls is to be bold and thick-skinned, I think you meet these requirements. What do you mean, she auditioned for the actress with us? What's the name? ”
"Mu Fengmian!" At the mention of her name, Gu Jingxing's heart was sweet.
"Oh, it's her? I have an impression of her, boy, you have a good eye! Zhu Keqi affirmed his brother's vision.
"Of course!" Gu Jingxing didn't want to be proud, as if Mu Fengmian had agreed to be his girlfriend.
"I read that she said she was a model and a resident singer in a bar every Friday night. Her voice is very Su, and it just so happens that there are two scenes in the play that require the heroine to sing, and if she sings well, it will be more in line with the heroine's requirements. It's Friday! Why don't we go to the bar tonight and listen to her sing? Let me think, what kind of bar is she writing about? Oh, the WONDER bar. Zhu Keqi is worthy of being Gu Jingxing's good brother, and put forward a very reasonable and practical good suggestion.
"Good! Brother Qi, you are my nobleman! If the younger brother succeeds in chasing the daughter, your great kindness and great virtue will definitely be reported. Gu Jingxing arched his hand and smiled sincerely.
Zhu Keqi smiled: "Don't thank me, I also want to find the most suitable heroine for my play." If you really want to thank me, why don't you come to our actor audition tomorrow? Actually, I've always felt that you're very suitable for this role.,Your appearance and personality are very similar to my male lead.,If you come to play.,It's just your true colors! To tell you the truth, I also participated in the script creation of this play, and when I wrote this male lead, it was written based on you. What do you think? Think about it? ”
Gu Jingxing shook his head and said: "But I'm not interested in the entertainment industry at all, the entertainment industry is a big dye vat in Vanity Fair, the water is too deep, and there will be a lot of constraints when you are a star, I don't like it." You also know that I don't even want to inherit the family business, and I don't want to be the CEO of Xinghan, but my grandfather and the three of them have both soft and hard, forcing me to be the CEO. I wear a mask to work every day, and I learn from those people who deceive me and intrigue me, but I am suffocated. ”
"You haven't tried to be an actor, so how do you know you don't like it? Maybe you're addicted to acting? Besides, if Miss Mu is the heroine, then if you are the heroine, won't you be able to get the moon first? "Zhu Ke expects to be kind and inducing, and move it with emotion and reason.
"So be it. I'll go to you tomorrow for the first exam. If Mu Fengmian succeeds in the retest, then I will also take the retest. How? Deal? GIVE ME FIVE!” Gu Jing acted for Mu Fengmian, and also played a little "yang conspiracy" openly.
"Okay, it's a deal!" Zhu Keqi smiled and high-fived him, his smile was warm like a spring breeze, and his thick and slender eyelashes made people want to swing on it.
In the evening, Gu Jingxing drove to the WONDER bar.
This bar is home to the agents of several entertainment companies in the city, so many amateur singers choose to stay here, hoping to have the opportunity to meet Bole and help them make their debut.
Gu Jingxing has never been to this bar, and the number of times Zhu Ke has come is only a handful, but the agents under Zhu Kemei's studio are frequent customers here.
Gu Jingxing was anxious, he came too early, the resident singer hadn't appeared yet, and Zhu Keqi was late? !
The crowd downstairs was so hilarious, and the sound wave was higher and higher, as if it was about to penetrate the eardrums.
The noise was too loud, and Gu Jingxing almost yelled at the other end: "Brother Qi, have you arrived?" ”
He didn't hear Zhu Keqi's answer clearly, and it was estimated that he hadn't gone out yet.
Gu Jingxing hung up the phone angrily.
Suddenly, a playful female voice came from behind him, "I said whose son is so handsome, it turns out to be Master Gu." ”
Gu Jingxing snorted coldly, not intending to pay attention to the woman behind him.
"Hey, little bear, don't get angry, people's little hearts are so fragile." Zhu Keqi's twin sister Zhu Keren stopped him and said with a smile.
Gu Jingxing shook off her hand and said, "Why are you here too?" I don't want to see you! My name is Gu Jingxing, not Xiao Xiongxiong! ”
This Zhu Keren is really annoying, relying on his sister Zhu Kemei and Gu Jingxing's mother Long Bingyao are good best friends, and his younger brother Zhu Keqi and Gu Jingxing are good brothers, so he often curries favor in front of Long Bingyao, always pesters Gu Jingxing in private, and also tells outsiders that he is her boyfriend, and also says that he likes her to call him "Little Bear".
"Little Bear Bear, it's the little bear in "Bear Infested", it sounds more kind! You are so strong, you are Xiong Da, I am Cuihua! Zhu Keren smiled cheekily.
"I warn you Zhu Keren, stop spreading rumors that I am your boyfriend, I have never talked to you at all! It's for the sake of the elders' face that I'm open to you. "God knows, how could Zhu Keqi have such a shameless second sister, the character of the two is really the same world.
"Little Bear, I'm serious about you!" Zhu Keren didn't give up, and he stepped forward to hug him, Gu Jingxing took a few steps back and bumped into someone.
The sound of "bang" sounded behind him, and Gu Jingxing turned around and saw a broken wine bottle on the ground.
A waitress was picking up the pieces with her head down, and Gu Jingxing frowned and squatted down to pick it up.
"I'm sorry, the cost of the broken wine is on my account." He whispered.
The waitress looked up, and they were all surprised, what a coincidence, they met again.
Isn't Mu Fengmian a resident singer? Why are you working as a waiter again? It's so hard work! Gu Jingxing felt distressed.
"It's you." Mu Fengmian's clear voice didn't quite match the noise here, it was more like a clear stream slowly flowing into his heart.
Gu Jingxing nodded, and there was a tingling pain in his hand: "Sneer......"
"Your hand is scratched." She looked more anxious than him, and even held his wrist, helped him stand up, and said, "Follow me." ”
She naturally wanted to take Gu Jing to walk, and Gu Jingxing also followed her very naturally.
Zhu Keren was not happy, and shouted behind him: "Little Bear Bear, Little Bear Bear ......"
But she just shouted, and didn't dare to do any more superfluous movements. After all, she knew Gu Jingxing's temper.
Gu Jingxing followed her, through a corridor to the room at the end, the door said "Staff Lounge", the space is very small, it is too luxurious to put three chairs, and the two of them sit just right.
"I'll post it for you." Mu Fengmian took out a band-aid and a medical cotton cloth from his staff cabinet, and the movements of his hands were gentle, not ambiguous at all.
Gu Jingxing enjoyed her gentleness. If it was a normal day, he wouldn't have treated this small wound at all, although the wound was bubbling with blood, but even if it wasn't pasted, it wouldn't be a big deal.
