Chapter 117: The Thrill of Revenge
On Saturday, the wind and the sun were beautiful, and the weather was rare and good.
Li Tang returned to the apartment on Wuyuan Road, it was almost the New Year, and he cleaned it inside and out. The happiness 90 that has been parked in the carport accumulated a layer of dust, scrubbed it well, drove out for a walk twice, and the car was always parked and easy to break.
He and Xu Guangtou made an appointment to meet at the Oedo Japanese restaurant on Lakeside Road at six o'clock in the evening, and the goods liked to eat Japanese food.
When Li Tang got out of the taxi, he happened to see that Xu Guangtou had just arrived, and saw that he not only pulled the brim of the cap on his head very low, but also wore sunglasses.
"No, big guy, it's such an exaggeration!"
Li Tang walked over with a smile.
Xu Guangtou took off his sunglasses and smiled awkwardly: "I'm afraid of being recognized now, as long as I am recognized, it's all that pig monster!" ”
Li Tang was overjoyed when he heard it: "Hahaha, isn't the pig monster quite good, it shows that the pig monster you played is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people." ”
Xu Guangtou glared: "Go, go upstairs!" ”
Oedo is a well-known Japanese restaurant that does good business on weekdays, but it is especially crowded on weekends. Xu Guangtou booked the table in advance, and after sitting down, Xu Guangtou put the cloth bag that he had been carrying in his hand in front of Li Tang.
"What are you doing?"
Although he said that he would repay the money before, Li Tang opened the bag and took a look, and wow, a bundle of 100 yuan bills tied with a sealing tape, and the bank's seal "10,000 yuan" on it.
"100,000 yuan, whole number!"
Xu Guangtou said and took out his wallet from his pocket, counted twelve sheets and handed them over: "The annual interest rate is 2.25%, and the half-year interest is 1,200 yuan!" ”
In the 90s, it was really amazing, the interest rate on bank deposits was as high as 14%, and in the past few years, it has been falling one after another, from the highest point to the current annual interest rate of only 2.25%.
"That's so polite!"
Having said that, Li Tang still took the money from Xu Guangtou without hesitation and put it in his pocket very easily.
He also said: "You are really good, the bank transfers a bento account, why do you have to repay the cash, I still have to deposit it in the bank, annoying!" ”
Xu Guangtou secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Li Tang accept the interest, he was most afraid of owing favors, so he smiled and said: "Does cash have a sense of ceremony, this trip is always thanks to you, save the emergency!" ”
After speaking, he looked at Li Tang with expectant eyes.
Li Tang didn't seem to be aware of it, waved his hand, and said nonchalantly: "It's all my own family, what are you talking about!" ”
As he spoke, he said with interest: "It looks like you're in a good situation right now!" ”
Xu Guangtou saw that he had not moved for a long time, and was a little anxious, and hurriedly said: "It's okay, I just signed a contract with Hainan Zhou Yi, this is an advance salary, and I don't owe money for the New Year." ”
He deliberately accentuated the tone of the words "no debts".
Li Tang still sat there with a look in his heart, and said in his heart: Yo, it looks like this product must have negotiated a good price. Before, he insisted on signing the contract after the start of "Zhu Bajie", and it seems that this step is the right step. With the current ratings of "Zhu Bajie", even if the salary doubles, it is not too much.
"Big guy, how much is the salary for this trip, can you reveal it?"
"How can this kind of thing be revealed!"
Xu Guangtou finally became anxious, and said directly: "Hey, don't talk too much, take out the IOU first!" ”
"Oh!"
Li Tang showed a look of sudden realization, took out an IOU from his pocket, handed it to him with a smile, and said, "I almost forgot a drop." ”
Xu Guangtou knew that this guy was in Baixiang again, so he grabbed it, looked at it carefully, and then put it in his personal pocket with confidence.
Only then did he show a comfortable smile and said, "Today, our brother will have two glasses of old wine." ”
In his opinion, friends who can borrow money at critical moments are real friends, and Li Tang is good at everything, but sometimes he is a little out of tune.
Japanese sake is light and tasteless, and the taste in the mouth is no different from the five-yuan barrel of Chongming old liquor, and it is sold at a dead price.
Of course, coming to this kind of place is an atmosphere, and the variety of Japanese food here is quite rich, in addition to sashimi, sushi, oil and consummite, and barbecue, to be honest, the barbecue at the Japanese restaurant is really good, dipped in their secret sauce, the taste is excellent.
The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.
Li Tang asked: "Big man, has the heroine of "Li Wei as an Official" been decided?" ”
Xu Guangtou thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I heard that there are already several candidates, and it seems that the specific ones have not yet been decided." ”
As he spoke, he looked at Li Tang and asked, "What, do you want to recommend someone?" ”
Li Tang had nothing to hide about this kind of thing, not to mention that he also wanted Xu Guangtou to help beat the side drum, so he told him about recommending Fan Xiaopang to Zhou Ping and Jiang Xuerou.
"Fan Binbin should be okay, he is beautiful and famous, enough is enough."
Xu Guangtou has read the script, although Yue Siying is the female number one, in fact, he only uses Yue Siying and Yue Xiaoman, the two orphans of the Yue family, to lead out the Yue Zifeng case to promote the plot.
As for Yue Siying's martial arts skills as Li Wei's bodyguard, and Li Wei's infatuation with Yue Siying, these are just ingredients to add a little love element.
In the final analysis, the only protagonist of this drama is Li Wei, and Yue Siying exists more as a vase.
"Since you've told the big boss, it should be fine."
Li Tang scratched his head and said: "But at that time, Mr. Zhou and Sister Xue Rou both said that the role needs to be determined by the director. ”
Xu Guangtou showed a mocking smile on his face, he had seen that director, but he was just a fledgling young director. In fact, he was dissatisfied with the young director. Because he has no resume at all, he has filmed several commercials before and served as an assistant director of several film and television dramas.
The assistant director, everyone understands, to put it bluntly, it is a high-level miscellaneous work.
But he thought about it, a weak director is not all bad, at least he has ideas that can be fully expressed, and maybe he can overpower the director to put them into practice.
In this case, think about it, how can the producer let him decide who is the heroine of a weak young director who has never stood alone? To put it bluntly, it's all about relationships, and it depends on whose relationship is harder.
"That's just talking, eh...... So, I'll help you mention it again when you get back. ”
At this time, Xu Guangtou was happy to be a favor, no matter whether it succeeded or not, at least he repaid Li Tang's favor of borrowing money.
"Thank you, big guy!"
Li Tang immediately picked up the wine glass and did it first as a respect!
……
Early the next morning, Li Tang ran five kilometers as usual, and then practiced big guns.
It is said that the fist does not leave the hand, because I have been living in the hotel of Shengqiang Film and Television City, I have not practiced for more than a month with a big gun, and the action is a lot jerky. So in the past two days, he has increased the amount of training, including the basic skills of the bayonet gun, and the practice of the basic skills has also increased by two sets than usual.
Sweating in the winter, and then taking a shower, the whole person is refreshed and refreshed.
When he went to the living room and picked up his phone, he found that there were three missed calls, because they were turned on and they didn't hear it.
looked at the numbers, and they were all called by Jiang Qinqin.
"This girl is idle, this is early."
Li Tang muttered in his mouth and dialed back.
It was connected right away.
"Hey, Qinqin, call me so early, miss me?"
Jiang Qinqin probably got used to his flamboyant tongue for a long time, and said directly: "Last time you said you invited me to dinner, does it count?" ”
"Count, how can my words not count? Hey, you're almost done there, right? ”
"Well, the last night show last night was finished."
She is the big heroine, and it is estimated that the whole drama is basically the same, at most, the director may have to make up some shots or something, and delay it for a few more days.
But now that your play has been completed, go back, it's about to be the New Year.
Just as Li Tang was slandering and organizing the language, he heard her say again: "Hey, talk, I'm free at noon today." ”
Now that people are serious, Li Tang can only bite the bullet and say, "Uh, what do you want to eat?" ”
"You're the host, you name it!"
"Then why don't I treat you to Japanese food, I know there's a good restaurant."
Li Tang remembered the big Edo that he had eaten with Xu Guangtou two days ago, and invited girls to dinner, it doesn't matter what you eat, the important thing is to have a mood.
"I don't like Japanese food."
"That ......"
Li Tang thought for a while, and simply gritted his teeth and said, "The Magnolia Chinese restaurant in the Garden Hotel is very good, I invite you to eat there." ”
The Magnolia Chinese restaurant in the Garden Hotel is also a well-known restaurant in Shanghai at present, focusing on Hong Kong-style Cantonese cuisine and Shanghainese cuisine, with good taste and good environment, and of course, another feature is expensive!
"I've been there, so be it."
“……”
I almost forgot that it's not uncommon for people to be big stars.
Li Tang had no choice but to say, "Then where do you say to go?" ”
"I remember you said that your family is a restaurant, so don't bother, just go to your house to eat."
As soon as Jiang Qinqin's voice fell, Li Tang hurriedly said: "Don't don't, our house is a small restaurant, just some home-cooked food, and the environment is average." Let's change places, change to a more upscale, and have a better environment, okay? ”
What are you kidding, except for his ex-girlfriend, he has never brought any other woman home. Especially a beautiful star like Jiang Qinqin, he is worried that Lao Li will misunderstand. And with my father's love of squeezing, showing off, and bragging, it's embarrassing to get it wrong.
"Not good!"
Jiang Qinqin heard it, the more Li Tang didn't want her to go, the more she wanted to go, and even had a sense of revenge.
"As you said, the best food in Shanghai is hidden in the small restaurants on the streets. If I don't go anywhere else, I'll go to your hotel. ”
Li Tang could imagine Jiang Qinqin's triumphant appearance on the other end of the phone, and with her stubborn, death-recognizing, and loving character, Li Tang knew that it was useless to say anything. Unless she doesn't admit it, then the relationship between the two will be severed, and she may be hated by her.
In desperation, Li Tang had no choice but to say, "Okay, then when are you coming over?" I'll give you the address. ”
"I'm still at the Shengqiang Hotel, you come to pick me up."
The second update!
