Chapter 40: Malice

Cardamom knew that Mama Zhang really had a problem with cold legs, and whether it was before or now, as long as she came here, Mama Zhang was very good to her.

She couldn't bear to see Zhang's mother really uncomfortable.

However, Zhang's mother now asked her to send Mu Rong sobering soup, obviously wanting to ease the relationship between her and Mu Rong.

It's just that Mama Zhang didn't know that the relationship between her and Mu Rong could not be eased by a bowl of sobering soup.

"Is it okay, ma'am?"

"Okay." Cardamom nodded, "Mom Zhang, give me the decanting soup." ”

"Hey, I'll go to Sheng." Zhang's mother went to the kitchen happily and quickly brought back the decanting soup, "Madam, be careful, don't lie down." ”

"Well, I'll send it to Murong, you go to bed early."

"Good. That Mrs...... It is common for husbands and wives to quarrel and quarrel, but there is no overnight feud between husband and wife, and it is good for husband and wife to talk about something. ”

"I see." Cardamom went upstairs with the decanting soup.

Zhang's mother sighed softly, feeling that she had just said that the wives who seemed to be annoyed were a little unhappy. But since he came out to live by himself, she has been by his side, always hoping to see him happy every day.

Cardamom didn't go to Mu Rong's study with the decanting soup, but went to the toilet, intending to pour the decanting soup directly.

If Zhang's mother asks about Mu Rong tomorrow and knows that he didn't drink the sobering soup, I'm afraid it will be difficult to say.

The old man's mind is always very sensitive, and it is easy to think too much, and I am afraid that I will not know what to think about when the time comes.

Forget it, it's just a bowl of decanting soup.

Cardamom knocked on the study door with a calm face.

"Enter."

She pushed the door in, Mu Rong was looking down at a document, and she didn't raise her head, "Mom Zhang, put the sobering soup next to it, I'll drink it later." ”

Cardamom didn't answer, and walked over to put the decanting soup on the table.

Mu Rong paused as he flipped through the documents and raised his head slightly.

"Zhang's mother has a cold leg, and it is uncomfortable to go up and down the stairs. You can ask your family doctor to come and look at her leg tomorrow. Also, I brought you the sobering soup for Mama Zhang, and it's your business whether to drink it or not. ”

Mu Rong raised his eyebrows, "Mother Zhang asked you to send me sobering soup, you will send it?" ”

"Of course not." Cardamom sneered, "Actually, I almost poured this bowl of decanting soup into the toilet just now, and in the end, I was afraid that Mother Zhang would worry about you, so I brought it to you." Whether you like to drink it or not, it has nothing to do with me anyway. ”

After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked out of the study without waiting for Mu Rong to reply.

Tomorrow she's going to shoot a drink commercial, and tonight she's going to have to go to bed early to make sure she's in good shape tomorrow.

Mu Rong finished his work, washed up and returned to his room in the early hours of the morning.

There was still no one in the master bedroom, and he was not surprised, so he went to the guest room in his pajamas.

Cardamom slept soundly, and he lay down on the bed and reached out to scoop the man into his arms.

"Hmm." Cardamom frowned slightly, and in her slumber she didn't seem to be happy that someone had touched her.

"Sleep." Mu Rong gently patted her back with his hand.

Cardamom's frowning brow unfolded slightly. His head moved in his arms, and he found a more comfortable position, and one hand was raised to rest on his chest, and he fell asleep again.

Murong looked down at her eyebrows and closed them.

The next morning, Cardamom woke up with the other half of the bed still cold, as if no one had slept with him.

Could it be that last night was a delusion again?

Cardamom frowned and thought, the charging mobile phone on the bedside table rang, and the caller ID was Cao Mei.

"Cardamom, are you up?"

"Up." Cardamom glanced at the time, "Isn't the meeting time about half past ten?" It's past eight o'clock, and it's still early. ”

"I know, I didn't call you because of that."

"Huh? Are there any other changes? ”

"There is no change in the advertising shooting, but the advertiser originally scheduled you to shoot alone, but now you have to add another person."

"Shoot a double commercial?" Cardamom said: "It stands to reason that the contract with the advertiser has been signed on our side, unless they are willing to pay high liquidated damages, it should not be because of the addition of another person to divide half of my notice fee, so shooting single and double actually has no impact on us." But you made a special call to remind me, could it be that there is something wrong with the person who stuffed it in? ”

"It's true that the person who stuffed it in asked." Cao Mei said: "Have you heard of Ma Lian? ”

"The horse company that came out of the third place in the training camp?"

Cardamom had come into contact with one or two boys from the training camp because of some coincidence before, both of whom were seventeen or eighteen years old, and I heard that the oldest was only in his twenties.

However, although he was young, the game at that time seemed to be similar to Gong Xin's scheming. Anyway, there is no fuel-efficient lamp that can go to the end.

Is there anything more special about this Malian?

Cao Mei said: "It's that Ma Lian, this person has been on fire for a while since he came out of the training camp, and he looks cool and likes those little girls, and he can also play handsome, so he can be regarded as a traffic niche for a while." But after becoming popular, there was something wrong with this person's style. Going to nightclubs and playing with women, he touches anything that artists can't touch. His agency is worried that the things he did will affect the company's reputation sooner or later, and it has gradually dispersed his resources in the past two years. If he doesn't change, he is basically in a state of semi-hidden. Although the drink advertisement I picked up for you this time is not a particularly big brand, it is also a familiar brand to the public. According to Ma Lian's current situation, there is no way that his company will forcibly stuff him into a double ad after we have already signed a contract with an advertiser, which is not only on our side, but also on the advertiser's side. All the original plans must be overturned, the script of the plan will be re-issued, and the director of the shooting will definitely be very popular. ”

"But even if that's the case, why would Ma Lian's agency do this? It can't be that you suddenly want to hold Ma Lian regardless of it, right? ”

"It's not normal." Cardamom said: "Sister Cao, do you think that this Ma Lian was forcibly stuffed in, maybe it came at me?" ”

"I had this idea, but I thought maybe I was thinking too much." Cao Mei said: "After all, you are not famous now, and no one in the circle should calculate you." Hey, I hope I'm thinking too much. ”

"If it's really coming for me, there will definitely be action during today's shooting, so let's just be a little more vigilant." Cardamom said: "By the way, Sister Cao, if you temporarily stuff a person in, the script will be overturned and rewritten, and the director didn't say that the filming time would be postponed?" ”

"Nope. I heard that I found a few screenwriters to rush out the script overnight, and the writing was not small. It can be seen that the person who entered the group is not small. If it's really coming for us, then it's troublesome. ”

Cardamom thought about it carefully, "Except for Mu Rong, I haven't offended any powerful ...... Wait, there's really one. ”

"Dong Wei, isn't it?" Cao Mei also guessed in this direction.

"If you want to say that the powerful people I have offended, except for Mu Rong, she is really the only one. But she doesn't love Mu Rong's affection well, why are she bothering me? I don't take men with her. ”

Cao Mei's voice was full of helplessness, "You and Mr. Mu have both obtained a marriage certificate and are still living together, can she not hate you?" ”

"Then she should hate Mu Rong and hate, what does it have to do with me." Cardamom sneered, and she was now pushed out by Mu Rong to block the muzzle of Dong Wei for her.

"Cardamom, if it's Dong Wei, are you going to tell Mr. Mu about this?"

"Say what? Say he's going to bully me? Did it work? As long as Mu Rong's brain is not sick, of course, it is impossible to help Dong Wei to help me. Cardamom frowned, and softened her voice again, "Sister Cao, I'm sorry, I'm not angry at you." I just got a little irritable all of a sudden. ”

"I know. You...... Forget it, don't talk about those. Cao Mei said: "You clean up, I'll drive over to pick you up." ”

"I'm further away from here, you go pick up the buns first. It's time for him to learn how to be a good life assistant. ”

"Baozi is very clever, he has come to me every day for the past two days, running around with me, his eyesight is good, some things don't need to be taught, he is very worry-free, it's really good for you to find him as your life assistant, but you can't be completely at ease with him." Cao Mei said: "After a long time, you can fully trust him, and many of your things can be handed over to him." ”

"Sister Cao, don't worry, I know how to make the buns not dare to go bad."

"Okay, then I'll pick up the buns first, and then I'll pick you up and bring you breakfast?"

"No need. There's definitely breakfast prepared downstairs, and I'll go downstairs to eat later. See you later. ”

Hung up the phone, Cardamom washed up and changed her clothes and went downstairs, Zhang's mother really prepared breakfast and waited for her, and greeted her with a smile when she saw her go downstairs.

"Madam, get up, come and have breakfast. I baked the tortillas this morning, and they're still hot. ”

"Well, thank you, Mom Zhang." Cardamom walked to the restaurant and sat down, and asked casually, "What about Murong?" ”

"The gentleman is out of the house. Come, madam, try this tortilla. ”

A tortilla, thinly baked, crunchy at the corners, but soft and milky in the middle, tastes really good.

"Mom Zhang, it's delicious. Is there still a kitchen? After a while, my agent and assistant came to pick me up and wanted to bring two for them to eat. ”

"There are some, and there are many. This cake can't be put in the box, because it won't taste good if it softens when it steams. I'm going to get some paper for wrapping cakes, and bring a little more, so that my wife can eat it at lunch. ”

"Thank you, Mom Zhang."

"I'm glad my wife likes to eat it." Zhang's mother quickly packed the tortillas, and took a small food basket to put it on, "Is Mrs. coming back for dinner at night?" ”

"Not necessarily, it depends on when you can call it a day." Cardamom shook her head, "Mom Zhang, you don't have to wait for me to come back for dinner at night." If I don't eat when I come back, just ask you to make me something to eat. ”

"Okay then." Zhang's mother said: "Mrs., your stomach is not good for you, you have to eat three meals a day, so that you can gradually get better of your stomach problems." Also, you're too thin, you still need to grow some meat. ”

"Okay, listen to Zhang's mother."

Zhang's mother was pleased, "If my wife works in Jincheng in the future, I can send food boxes to my wife every day." ”

"That's a lot of trouble, and you're tired." Cardamom smiled, the mobile phone in her hand rang, and she picked it up, "Sister Cao, have you already arrived?" ”

"Yes, right at the door of the villa."

"Okay, I'll go out right away and bring you something to eat." Cardamom drank the remaining porridge in the bowl in one gulp, "Mom Zhang, then I'll go first, if I don't come back before dinner, I don't need to prepare my dinner." ”

"Don't forget the pie, ma'am."

"Thank you, Mom Zhang."

Cardamom walked out of the door of the villa, and when Baozi saw her, he ran over to carry her bag and food basket, "Sister, this is the delicious food you said?" It smells so good. ”

"Bring a lot, let's eat."

Cao Mei shouted from the car window, "Get in the car first, don't be late after a while." ”

The two got into the car, Cardamom took a cake and handed it to Cao Mei, "Sister Cao, you take a bite first." ”

Cao Mei took a bite while starting the car, and said, "Cardamom, you have to be ready, I heard that Ma Lian has passed." ”

"Got it. Anyway, we can't afford to provoke, we can always afford to hide. ”

"I'm afraid that he will deliberately come to provoke you at that time, and he won't be able to hide." Cao Mei said: "I followed the whole process today, and if he makes trouble, we are not vegetarians." ”

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid." Cardamom smiled, "Baozi, you didn't go to the hospital to see Xiaodouzi today, did you tell Xiaodouzi?" ”

"It was already said yesterday." Baozi finished the tortilla in his hand in two bites, "I promised to bring him a new toy the next time I went to see him, and he was happy." ”

"You two are the same age, so you can play together. Xiaodouzi, it's the first time I've made friends of the same age when I've grown so big. ”

Cao Mei asked, "How is Xiaodouzi's condition?" ”

"It's gotten a lot better."

"That's good." Cao Mei was also pleased, "When the time comes, you can live outside with Xiaodouzi, stay away from Lai Ba, and worry less." Speaking of which, has Lai Ba asked you for money again recently? ”

"Nope." Cardamom stretched her legs, "I gave him 20,000 yuan last time, and I said that I would not give him any more money in the future." Even if he comes to me in the future, I won't care about him anymore. ”

"It's fine. But after all, he is your father, and with his scoundrel character, he asks you for money, and if you don't give it, he will probably be embarrassed. ”

"It doesn't matter, he's not afraid of losing face, and I'm not afraid of either." Cardamom's eyes sank, "I used to give him money because Xiaodouzi still lives in that house." Once he has no money, he will beat Xiaodouzi, and I am not often at home, so I can't protect Xiaodouzi all the time. But now that Xiaodouzi is living in the hospital, he won't go back after being discharged from the hospital, so I have nothing to worry about. ”

"Cardamom, I have something not very nice to say. In fact, people like Lai Ba will one day be honest when they are ruthlessly cleaned up. Cao Mei had contact with Lai Ba once, which really broke her cognition.

She never knew that a person could be a scoundrel and shameless to that extent. Addicted to alcohol and gambling, he steals when he owes money when he has no money, and he also pays domestic violence. For the sake of money, you can ignore everything, and nothing can be done.

Cardamom didn't answer, in fact, she thought more than once that Lai Ba would suddenly die outside one day. Then she and Xiaodouzi will be free.

It's a pity that Lai Bakang beats, even if he is beaten all over his body with a bruised nose and swollen face, he can go out to gamble after lying at home for two days, just like a vampire who can't be killed.

"By the way, Sister Cao, there is something I want to ask you."

"What's the matter?"

"Baozi, you shouldn't have an ID card, right?"

Baozi shook his head with a cake in his mouth, "No." ”

Cao Mei reacted, "You want to help Baozi get an ID card?" ”

"Yes, can you do it?"

"Not really. However, the identity of the bun is unknown, and there may be a case record, which is not easy to operate. ”

"Xiaodouzi doesn't have an ID card either, so she has to do it when she reaches the age of sixteen." Cardamom frowned, "Without an ID card, it will be inconvenient for them to go out of society in the future." ”

Cao Mei hesitated, "Actually, there is a simple way to do this. You can tell Mr. Mu that with his identity, it is not difficult to get an ID card with Baozi and Xiaodouzi. Moreover, whether it is a small bean or a bun, their identity will be clean before applying for an ID card in the future. ”

"I'm thinking about it." Cardamom lowered her eyes.

She actually didn't want to do anything with Mu Rong, after all, there was already too much between them.

It can be said that Mu Rong helped her family pay off her high debts, and she was able to cure Xiaodouzi's autism, so she had been with him for four years, and now the fake marriage was pushed to the forefront by him, she can be regarded as a tie between the two.

When the time comes, the two will settle the accounts, and no one owes anyone anything. If she begged Mu Rong to do other things, she would be considered to have owed another favor.

Let's think of other ways, anyway, Xiaodouzi and Baozi are still young now, and they are still a few years away from being sixteen.

With a plan in mind, Cardamom put the matter aside for the time being.

"Here we are."

Cao Mei slowly parked the car at the door of the small western-style building where the advertisement was filmed, and the staff of the crew had already seen it and ran over.

"Teacher Dou, you're here, go put on makeup."

"Thank you." Cao Mei got out of the car, "I heard that the script was changed yesterday, but we haven't got the book yet, please take us to the director first." ”

"The director is over there, please come with me."

Cardamom and Cao Mei walked in front, and Baozi followed behind with Cardamom in her arms.

"Director Xu, hello, I'm Cardamom's agent, Cao Mei." Cao Mei smiled first and stepped forward to shake hands with the director of the advertisement.

"Hello." Director Xu is a middle-aged man in his fifties, with a slightly fat figure, a beer belly, and a very kind person, "You guys came just in time, here's a revised script." There is no major change in the lines, that is, the shooting scene has become a two-person interaction, you can take a look first. ”

"Okay." Cao Mei took the script and read it, and frowned after reading two paragraphs, but he still barely maintained a commercial smile, "Director Xu, we have no opinion on the original one-person shooting to be changed to a two-person shooting, but what does it mean to change this rival scene to a naked-play?" ”

Xu Daole hehe, "Don't worry, we will make a splash in the later stage, and the important parts will be blocked." ”

"Then what does it mean to put a parenthetical after this to specifically indicate that the female artist is really naked?" The commercial smile on Cao Mei's face faded, "Director Xu, when we signed the contract, the content of the contract listed that the shooting content was healthy, positive and green. ”

"Uh...... This one...... It's healthy, positive, and green to shoot like this. After all, the human body is also a part of art, and there will be water splashes when the advertisement is broadcast, and there is nothing unhealthy and not green. ”

"In that case, wouldn't it be nice if the female artist was wearing clothes during the shooting, and the P would fall off in the later stage?"

"It's still different. We still have to pursue nature and reality when we shoot things. Xu Daodao: "As an artist, you should have the courage to challenge yourself for the sake of art." ”

"I don't think it's challenging myself, it's Director Xu who thinks we're easy to bully, right?" Cao Mei completely sank his face and slammed the script on the table next to him, "It's impossible for us to accept such a script, it's better to wait until you change the script and then notify us of the shooting." Moreover, I only emphasize one thing, don't be my artist! Let's go. ”

"Wait." Ma Lian swayed over in a hip-hop punk suit, directly blocking the way, "My schedule is only today, and I won't have time to shoot such a small advertisement after today, don't delay my affairs because of your little, hurry up and change clothes to shoot, don't worry too much." ”

Cao Mei stretched out his hand to protect Cardamom and said in a deep voice: "We can't shoot such a script." If you are really on a tight schedule, you can let the screenwriter hurry up and change the script, instead of stopping us from messing around here. ”

"Change the script? Why change the script? I've asked them to write the script that way. Ma Lian said, his eyes swirling directly on Cardamom, "Tsk, this is too thin, you can't see two taels of meat if you take it off, right?" Rain on someone's parade. ”

Cao Mei frowned, "Please be careful with your words. ”

"Why should I be paying attention? If you can't stand it, you can stop shooting, and the liquidated damages will be paid. Ma Lian shrugged his shoulders and smiled maliciously, "Or do you have no money to pay liquidated damages?" Also, can an artist with a 180-line salary earn 100,000 yuan a year? Otherwise, let her stay with me for a day, and I'll help you out with the liquidated damages. ”

"We didn't say we wouldn't shoot this commercial, but the contract we signed also said that the content of the shoot was healthy and green. Unless the script is changed, there is no negotiation. ”

Xu Daole stood up and played a round, "Why don't you let Teacher Cardamom shoot in shorts and bandeau like this?" Anyway, there will be a splash in the later stage, and these can be blocked. ”

"No!" Ma Lian directly refused, "I want her to shoot with me without wearing anything." ”

Cardamom sneered in her heart, it turned out that the other party was planning to humiliate her in this way, maybe she would shoot a video, and she would be able to blackmail her when the time came.

But she's here to shoot commercials, not A-movies.

"Sister." Baozi whispered next to him, and in a corner where no one else noticed, he shook the phone that was recording in his hand.

Cardamom gives him a thumbs up and praises him for being clever.

Bun smiled. Hmph, he has seen a lot of this kind of shameless person, and he has seen even worse people than this one, so he will not be afraid at all.

Cardamom pulled Cao Mei, whose whole body was trembling, "You are Ma Lian, Teacher Ma?" ”

"It's me." Ma Lian raised his chin, "Don't be verbose, just be a little bit, I don't have so much time to spend here with you." Pat you on the back for a word. ”

"The contract has been signed in black and white, and I will definitely shoot the advertisement, but the current content will definitely not work. Although I am an actor who is not famous, I also have my own bottom line. There are some things that cannot be compromised, and then there must be no concessions. ”
