Chapter 40: New Tenants
"Tomorrow at eight o'clock in the morning, come with me to Babaoshan, attend Teacher Hou's memorial service, wait for me at home, and I will take the car to pick you up."
Zhou Cheng's ambition was not realized, at ten o'clock, he received a call from Zhou Kezhi, and he had no choice but to make a truce with Li Jiaqi and go back to Liuli Bridge to prepare. After all, you can't be too casual to attend a memorial service, and a dark suit and shirt are in line with etiquette.
"I'll send you." Seeing Zhou Cheng getting dressed and getting up, Li Jiaqi also sat up, if Zhou Cheng didn't object, she was ready to go back with her.
"No, you don't." Zhou Cheng turned around and pressed her fragrant shoulder, kissed her on the face, and stabilized her movements by the way: "If you drink tonight, don't drive, stay here at night, and I'll settle the bill tomorrow." ”
"Oh, okay." Even though she was unwilling, Li Jiaqi still nodded in agreement, hugged him from behind, and rubbed it for a while. Knowing that Zhou Cheng didn't have the idea of having a relationship with her for the time being, doing too much by himself would easily make him stay away from him.
"Rest well, aren't you about to join the group? I'll take the time to see you then. Zhou Cheng kissed her again, and then gently broke free and gave her a small promise.
"Really?" Hearing Zhou Cheng's promise, Li Jiaqi's eyes lit up, and she said to Zhou Cheng who walked to the door: "The drama we filmed is in Yanjing, Director Zhao's "Who Calls the Shots in My Youth", in which Lu Yi was invited to star, I will introduce you to you when the time comes......
Li Jiaqi regretted it a little after saying this, because this play not only has Lu Yi, but also another actor, Zhu Yuchen. Some time ago, when "Struggle" was on the air, in order to increase its popularity as soon as possible, Sister Hua of Zhu Yuchen's brokerage company "Orange He Film and Television" had a tacit understanding with Aunt Wan of her brokerage company "Rong Zhixin", and jointly hyped up the scandal between herself and Zhu Yuchen. During the period, I also found a few entertainment reporters to take a few misplaced photos in the car, although Li Jiaqi was also worried that Zhou Cheng would misunderstand and sent a message to explain, but seeing that he had not contacted him for nearly three months, it was not unrelated.
Now that Li Jiaqi has finally rekindled her old relationship with Zhou Cheng, she doesn't want to miss the opportunity again, and strives to use the influence behind Zhou Cheng to go further. So Li Jiaqi is ready to discuss with his agent to see if he can change the direction of the hype.
Zhou Cheng didn't have much other thoughts about Li Jiaqi, this was the romantic debt he had caused in the past, and he didn't mind taking it over again. Zhou Cheng currently regards Li Jiaqi as a bed partner with tacit cooperation, and his needs for the other party are clearer than the original Zhou Cheng. Although Zhou Cheng doesn't have much ability in this area now, he believes that if he gives himself a year, he will definitely be able to gain a firm foothold in this circle. When the time comes, whether it is an exchange of interests or a simple transfer of interests, Zhou Cheng will satisfy her. But if the other party wants to go further, Zhou Cheng will choose to say no!
Zhou Cheng didn't return to Liuliqiao for a week, and the community didn't improve much. It is still those dim and yellowed street lamps, shining on the old mottled walls that have fallen off most of the wall skin, looking extremely dilapidated.
According to Zhou Cheng's plan for another world, the house here should be included in the government's demolition plan in two years, and when the time comes, whether he chooses to add money to replace a 140-square-meter four-bedroom like another world, or get a 100-square-meter small three-bedroom according to the ratio of 1:1.5, Zhou Chengdu can accept it.
These are all afterthoughts, for Zhou Cheng, the most important thing now is to rest.
Zhou Cheng looked at his watch, it was almost twelve o'clock. I and Li Jiaqi rushed to the hotel from six o'clock today, and we ate something during the period, and basically didn't rest for the other hours. This crazy woman kept asking for it, which made Zhou Chengcheng, who had been insisting on exercising during this time, a little unbearable. When opening the courtyard door, his legs were even weakened by half of the brick at the door, and he almost fell at the door.
"Who is so lacking in virtue, put a brick at my door." Zhou Chengcai will not admit that his legs are weak, because he thinks that he has lived here for several years, and he is already familiar with the road, and he even knows where there are steps, even if he closes his eyes, he will not be tripped.
Take out the key and open the iron gate of the small courtyard. I haven't been back for a long time, the small courtyard is still pitch black, I reached out to touch the switch behind the door, and suddenly I was grateful, and I actually touched a soft and hard thing, with a sense of human body temperature and heat. Whose arm is this?
Before Zhou Cheng could react, all the people in that arm grabbed his outstretched hand, and then lifted it up, and then a force of forward drag came along the arm, and Zhou Cheng, who was unstable on his feet, was thrown over the shoulder.
And Zhou Cheng, who fell to the ground, only felt a pain in his back, and before he could call out, his neck was strangled by someone who suppressed the upper four sides with a judo standard.
"Who are you?" This is the person who suppressed Zhou Cheng's question, listening to her crisp voice, it turned out to be a girl.
"What do you do?" This was the question that the suppressed Zhou Cheng raised almost at the same time.
"In the middle of the night, you are sneaky, what are your intentions?" The girl who locked Zhou Cheng continued to ask.
Hearing that the other party was a girl, and Zhou Cheng smelled the fragrance of shower gel from her, he remembered that the house in his yard had been rented out, and the person who rented his own house seemed to ......
"Gu Xintong, let go of me, I'm your landlord......" Zhou Cheng remembered this name and made a deep impression on himself.
"Landlord?" When Gu Xintong heard Zhou Cheng's words, he let go of him suspiciously, and when he reached out to turn on the light in the courtyard, he picked up an arm-thick wooden stick next to the door.
The light pierced the darkness of the small courtyard, and also let Gu Xintong see Zhou Cheng lying on the ground. Gu Xintong slowly approached with a wooden stick, turned on the light, saw this seemingly familiar face, and asked tentatively, "Are you really the landlord?" Have we met somewhere? ”
At this time, Zhou Cheng felt the muscle pain caused by his back hitting the ground, so he simply didn't get up, but lay on the ground and looked up at the night sky: "More than a week ago, at KFC in the International Trade Center, you were a rookie recruiting artists there, and you knocked me on KFC." ”
"Is it really such a coincidence? No wonder Aunt Liu told me that the landlord knew me, and I wondered. Gu Xintong thought about it, there was really such a thing, but the business card that Zhou Cheng gave her at that time was written by her contact information to Tong Liya, and she really didn't remember Zhou Cheng's name.
"Aunt Liu? You're talking about Grandma Liu at the convenience store at the entrance of the community. ”
"Don't you know that women don't like to be called old? I called her Aunt Liu, and she was so happy. Gu Xintong squatted next to Zhou Cheng, and when he saw that he couldn't afford it, he asked with some concern: "Big brother landlord, you won't be hurt, right?" Would I like to take you to the hospital? ”
Zhou Cheng looked up at Gu Xintong, who had short hair, and the other party looked anxious at this time, completely ignoring that he had just taken a shower and was only wearing a nightdress. When you bow your head, through the wide neckline, a lot of tempting spring colors are about to come out.
"No, I was just dropped by you, and I was a little angry." Zhou Cheng glanced at it, and after coming to a conclusion of C, he looked away from suspicion.
"It's okay. You lie down and don't move, I'll go change my clothes, and then I'll come and help you." Zhou Cheng's action also reminded Gu Xintong of his departure, she hurriedly covered her neckline with her hand, revealing a trace of shame, Zhou Cheng's active behavior of avoiding suspicion made her feel that the other party belonged to a decent gentleman, and she was a lot more relieved.
Zhou Cheng didn't expect that he would be issued a good person card, the reason why he didn't continue to appreciate the spring was mainly because he had been fighting in the hotel for one night, and the desire in his heart was fully vented.
