"Do you mean Lian Chun?"

"Hmm."

"I know you don't like him, and I don't know what kind of person he is." Zhao Pingping said, "In the past, he didn't gamble or drink, but he was very busy with work and didn't go home much." ”

"I remember he was a factory director for a while, why didn't he do it later?"

"That was when I was a kid. When you were still living in the old house, he was indeed working as a factory manager, and he also had some savings and bought a small house. It was enough for our family of three. At that time, he was young and ignorant, and he lost his job because he offended the leaders of the factory. If it weren't for your father Zhao Feng arranging a job for him, our family wouldn't have to live on relief food. ”

"I remember that he used to be just not very talkative and more introverted, why is it like this now?"

"He's always been there for me." Zhao Pingping said, "In the early years, your grandmother knew that I couldn't have children and asked your father to divorce me, but your father resolutely disagreed. ”

Zhao Ruozhi didn't know these things.

"He's not what you see." Zhao Pingping said to Zhao Ruozhi.

"What I saw was that he was fighting a woman who was incapable of resisting, and he was verbally threatening. This is domestic violence. ”

"He's also forced to do it, don't blame him."

"Then do you blame him? Isn't it to blame him for being hurt and injured? ”

Zhao Pingping did not answer. She loves the gentle Li Lianchun, not an angry domestic abuser. She didn't want to admit that Li Lianchun had changed, and he had become a waste who could only gamble and drink and beat his wife. She still has illusions, believing that Li Lianchun will wake up one day.

Zhao Ruozhi didn't wait for Zhao Pingping's answer for a long time, and he didn't know when he fell asleep. Only Zhao Pingping was left alone and sleepless all night.

Early the next morning, the doorbell of Villa 118 of the Moon Mansion rang.

Before Zhao Ruozhi got up, Zhao Pingping was already preparing breakfast. Originally, the filming of "Little Family" was arranged today, but because he fell out with director Xiong Buwei the day before, Zhao Ruozhi slept until three poles in the morning.

Zhao Pingping woke up Zhao Ruozhi: "There is a fat man looking for you outside." ”

"Fatty? Who is it? Zhao Ruozhi slept in a daze, and his eyes hadn't opened yet.

"Say what kind of director."

"Oh, it's him." The fat director Zhao Ruozhi knows is only Xiong Buwei, I don't know what he is doing today. Thinking that there were still mines buried in the yard, and outsiders could not be let in casually, so he could only ask Xiong Buwei to blow the wind outside for a while. "I'll wash up first and let him wait outside for a while."

Zhao Ruozhi deliberately let Xiong Buwei wait outside for two hours, and slowly finished breakfast and coffee before going out and coming to the yard.

One door away, Xiong Buwei actually stood outside for two hours in a good temper. For a fat man who weighs close to two hundred pounds, it is already the limit. The beads of sweat on his forehead are also clearly visible, and the gauze on the corners of his forehead is crooked, which makes people feel particularly ridiculous.

"Why does Director Xiong have time to come to the Humble House today?" Zhao Ruozhi's false eyelashes fanned lightly, and the metallic red eyeshadow looked very enchanting under the sun.

"I was wrong yesterday, and today I came to apologize to you."

The woman inside the low wall raised her eyebrows slightly: "Wasn't it fierce yesterday?" How about today? I found that I couldn't shoot the TV series without me, come and beg me to come? ”

Xiong Buwei's face stiffened, but he didn't expect this woman to anticipate his thoughts. It is true that she can't find a suitable actor to take her place for a while. After Zhao Ruozhi left yesterday, he urgently pulled a few actresses over to try out, but he couldn't find the feeling on Zhao Ruozhi's body at all.

Moreover, an actress of Zhao Ruozhi's level has such a low price and almost no second actress. Xiong Buwei had to admit that this woman had completely seen through his mind, and she must be waiting for him to come to apologize at home today.

Zhao Ruozhi was actually met by Xiong Buwei by mistake at home, she had already contacted the company to deal with the breach of contract, if Xiong Buwei came a little later, he might have seen Zhao Ruozhi's lawyer.

Xiong Buwei could only smile awkwardly and said, "It's not convenient to stand here and talk, do you think you can borrow a step to speak?" ”

Zhao Ruozhi clasped his hands in front of his chest, completely unwilling to ignore Xiong Buwei.

“Katy…… You see, it's not easy for us to work together, this drama has been prepared by me for many years, if you break the contract with us......"

"That's your own business." Zhao Ruozhi turned his head and left.

Xiong Buwei was so anxious that he lay on the iron door: "It's really not easy for us to shoot this drama, please give me another chance." ”

"If you ask for someone, you should have the appearance of asking for someone." Zhao Ruozhi said without looking back. After yesterday's incident, Zhao Ruozhi really didn't want to cooperate with such a person.

"If you have any conditions, just mention it, as long as I do it, I will promise you." Xiong Buwei was so anxious that he almost knelt down for Zhao Ruozhi.

Zhao Ruozhi stopped, "Originally, I only had one request not to smoke on the set, but unfortunately you couldn't even make such a simple request, and you planned to attack me personally, how can I believe you?" Unless—" She deliberately didn't say, hanging on Xiong Buwei's appetite.

"You say, you say, as long as I can do it, I promise you."

"Okay." Zhao Ruozhi finally turned around, "As long as you quit, I will come back." ”

Zhao Ruozhi watched Xiong Buwei's expression freeze on his face little by little, and almost didn't laugh out loud.

"Isn't there room for negotiation?" Xiong Buwei was about to cry, a man with five big and three rough would want to cry in front of this bewitching woman.

"Mostly I don't want to see you." Zhao Ruozhi narrowed his eyes, like a poisonous snake, and the temperature around him instantly dropped by two or three degrees: "I know that the assistant director Yu Xinyue is your apprentice, and her ability is also very strong, let her be the director." As for you, it doesn't matter if you quit completely, or go behind the scenes, as long as you don't let me see you, I'll consider the matter of returning to the crew. ”

Xiong Buwei was eaten to death by a newcomer who had debuted less than two years ago, so he could only bow his head and agree, completely losing the arrogant momentum of the day before.

Zhao Ruozhi had long known that Xiong Buwei's apprentice Yu Xinyue was a very talented woman, but she met an inappropriate mentor. Yu Xinyue has followed Xiong Buwei for five years, and these five years are also the best five years for Xiong Buwei's development, and inside information says that Xiong Buwei stole the fruits of Yu Xinyue's labor, and Yu Xinyue was also suppressed within the team.

Since she has this opportunity, Zhao Ruozhi can be regarded as helping Yu Xinyue, in order to thank Yu Xinyue for helping her speak yesterday. As for how far Yu Xinyue can develop in the future, and whether she can surpass Xiong Buwei's attainments in the director's circle, it all depends on herself.

Facts have proved that Zhao Ruozhi's vision is not wrong, and later Yu Xinyue won major awards in the TV industry with "Little Family" and became the most outstanding female director in the 21st century. But that's all for another time.

After everything was negotiated, Xiong Buwei retreated into the background, and as long as Zhao Ruozhi came to the set, he obediently hid. Zhao Ruozhi is also a trustworthy person, and he did not affect the progress of the work because of his personal grievances with Xiong Buwei, and successfully completed the filming of "Little Family" within the schedule.

At the celebration banquet, director Yu Xinyue toasted Zhao Ruozhi, and Zhao Ruozhi replaced the wine with tea: "Thank you Director Yu for taking care of you in the past few months." ”

"Ruolin is polite." Yu Xinyue drank it all, "You have also worked hard during this time, filming several dramas together, and filming advertisements in variety shows, which did not affect our filming progress." ”

Zhao Ruozhi drank the tea in the cup and said with a smile: "Director Yu has won the award, this is my job, and I should go all out." ”

"I'm still out of sight." Yu Xinyue was a little drunk, she brought Zhao Ruozhi a glass of champagne, "If you don't drink, I'm sorry for my friend." ”

"I have a bad stomach and can't drink." Zhao Ruozhi refused, "Replace wine with tea, replace wine with tea." ”

"No way!" Yu Xinyue insisted, "It's also thanks to you that I can have this opportunity, how can you not give me face like this!" Just have a drink! Dry! After speaking, she raised her head and drank the liquor in her cup, and persuaded Zhao Ruozhi to drink it quickly.

"I'll drink it for her." The goblet was snatched away by a bony hand, and someone drank it all.

"Teacher Su? What are you doing here? ”

"Ouch Lao Su!" Yu Xinyue punched Su Yang, "You always spoil my good deeds!" ”

"She said she had a bad stomach and advised her to drink." Su Yang patted Yu Xinyue's shoulder, "If you have a bad stomach, you shouldn't even drink too much tea." ”

Zhao Ruozhi felt that his face was hot, and he didn't expect to meet Su Yang here.

"Tell me about it." Yu Xinyue said loudly, "This is my heroine Katy, and this is my old partner Su Yang." ”

Su Yang smiled: "I know Ruolin, have you forgotten?" ”

"Oh yes, yes, yes, you've been on that show together to go to the ravine." Yu Xinyue patted her thigh and finally remembered.

"Ruolin hasn't seen you for a long time."

"Long time no see, Mr. Su."

"Call me teacher again, didn't you say call me Brother Yang?"

"Brother Yang, I haven't seen you for a long time." Zhao Ruozhi's ears also turned red.

Yu Xinyue twisted Su Yang's arm and said, "Do you like a girl like Ruolin?" ”

"You're drunk! Don't talk nonsense. ”

"Not drunk! Didn't she break up with that Xiang Jia, Lao Su, your chance has come. After speaking, Yu Xinyue laughed again.

Su Yang helplessly pulled Yu Xinyue aside and apologized to Zhao Ruozhi repeatedly.

"It's okay Brother Yang, Director Yu is happy today, so I drank a few more glasses, I won't go to my heart."

"Then you have fun by yourself, and I'll take her outside to blow the wind and sober up."

"Go ahead."

Su Yang pulled Yu Xinyue to the park of the hotel. It's quiet, as if it's two worlds away from the noisy ballroom.

"Lao Su, say, do you like a little girl like Ruolin? I'll introduce it to you. ”

"How much alcohol did you drink today? Talking nonsense in a place where there are so many people, and you are not afraid of having ears on the wall. ”

"Isn't the business of our entertainment industry just a conversation for people after dinner?" Yu Xinyue's eyes were red, and she didn't care what others thought of her. "You care so much about Ruolin, there must be a ghost in your heart."

"Yes, you can not care, Ruolin can't not care. You're the director, she's the actor who shows her head in front of the camera. Fame is far more important to her than to you. Once there is any negative news, how will you gain a foothold in this circle in the future? ”

"Wow...... You just like her! Yu Xinyue pounded Su Yang's chest, "I didn't want to tell you, but now I'm afraid it's too late if I don't say it." ”

"What do you want to say?"
