I'm the director, I'm not bad

Chapter 466 464. Daqiang's Joke

In fact, Li Hao is talking about it now, he really feels sorry for Uncle Xu.

But he didn't think so when he was young.

Just like everyone has a period of time in the past, he also has his own story.

Li Hao followed Xu Daqiang very early on.

His calling "Uncle Xu" was not empty talk, but that he had some relatives on both sides.

But this relative is really far away.

His mother is the granddaughter of his mother-in-law who married off from Xujiawan.

Although the people in Xujiawan are not in frequent contact, this kind of kinship relationship is recognized by everyone in a small place.

What's more, Li Hao's family conditions are also average.

If one is expensive and the other is cheap, it may be true to answer the saying that no one asks you if you are poor on the street, but you have distant relatives in the mountains if you are rich.But the people on both sides are not very good, they are all bitter people with their faces facing the loess and their backs facing the sky.We rely on the kinship relationship, and we are not stingy with giving out some food in the hands of the poor to help those relatives who share the same illness as us.

This is the relationship between Li Hao and Xu Jiawan.

Don't look at him now with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses every day, he speaks decently and handles affairs neatly wherever he goes.

Let people know at a glance that they are successful people.

Once upon a time, he was young and frivolous, aggressively formed a "gang" with a few hair groups, and wandered around the street every day like a child playing house.

No way, it was like that in that year.

The poorer the place, the easier it is to breed these.

Fortunately, Li Hao is obedient and filial.After wandering the streets for a few years, my mother also asked someone to find him a job as a driver for the transport team.

The transportation team at that time was fat and poor.

At that time, the river ditches in Shenmu had not been controlled, and the water and sand dug out of the river every day were good materials for construction.

He drives a car to pull the sand, not only has a high salary, but also a lot of extra money.If you are short of catty or two casually, you can gather a few bags of sand, and that will be an income of dozens of yuan.

But it's a pity, after all, the young man's blood is dry and hot, and he doesn't know how to drink some wine. After telling these cronies at the wine table, no one knows which bastard is jealous and reported him to the brigade.

According to reason, this matter is an unspoken rule, and the team has acquiesced.

Anyway, there is a lot of sand in the river. Besides not letting ordinary people dig it, who doesn't have nothing to do with the drivers of their own convoy?

Public property, what?

But unspoken rules are one thing, being reported is another.

As a result, Li Hao lost his job.

He especially remembered how sad his mother cried when she found out that he was expelled from the brigade.

Since then, Li Hao finally learned one thing.

That's what it's called: shut up.

But no matter what, the job was gone, and when he saw his mother's gray hair, which had been getting more and more gray every day since he was fired, the blood of that rebellious young man suddenly cooled down.

look for a job.

Anything goes.

I can't let my mother continue to worry about it.

Can't go too far either.

I'm afraid that no one will be filial to my mother if I go far away.

Coincidentally, at that time, coal was discovered in several places around Xujiawan and Shenmu.

Except for the small trucks of the brigade, Shenmu County, where there are basically no large vehicles entering the city, suddenly there are many large vehicles pulling equipment.

Every so often, you can hear news that XX village has become rich overnight, and the villagers can share millions.

It's a pity that Li Hao's family has moved to the city and has nothing to do with the countryside.

But with the mentality of giving it a try, he followed his mother's relationship and returned to Xujiawan to see if there was any work for the driver.

Then I got acquainted with Xu Daqiang who had already started to build a mixing station at that time.

Xu Daqiang asked him to call him uncle.

It is said that even if the girl from Xujiawan gets married, she is still from Xujiawan.

After learning that his father also died of illness when he was in school, he asked Li Hao to drive to the mixing station to pull goods.

And Li Hao, who finally grew up, also gained the acceptance of "family" little by little by virtue of his reliable work and strict tone.In the end, Xu Daqiang became the driver of the first Santana he bought.

Do it for many years.

As for the harvest of these years, don't care if it's the glamorous funeral of the mother, or the three-story mansion built in Xujiawan when she married her daughter-in-law, or the annual fixed dividends from the mine and ordinary business. I won't mention it.

Uncle Xu never treats the people around him badly.

And as the person who has been with him for the longest time, he has almost witnessed how Uncle Xu grew from a small mixing station to his current scale. In Li Hao's heart, Uncle Xu has long replaced his father.

Even his own matchmaker was told by Uncle Xu.

Otherwise... I was born to a woman with a different surname, why did I take a woman from Xujiawan?
Can a child who is born still receive money according to the head of the mine?

This is not the treatment that a married woman can enjoy.

In Li Hao's heart, Uncle Xu is a first-class existence in the world, whether it is his brain, vision, or his keen business sense.

Obviously, he is also uneducated, and even reading a book is like taking sleeping pills.

But... no matter what Uncle Xu does, he can do it.

And things always go according to his wishes.

Moreover, when he was young, he actually envied these things the most.Instead, as a secretary, she followed Uncle Xu and saw what kind of life he was leading.

Brief summary, four words:

"Fantasy."

Whether it is work or private, it can be summed up by this word.

Then all the things at work were done under these extravagance, and it was sure to succeed.

In private, no matter how beautiful and reserved the little girls are...you can always see them lying on Uncle Xu's bed when you wake up in the morning.

As a man, Li Hao was really envious when he was young.

Even he followed a lot of light.

But which good man has never dreamed of "a man born between heaven and earth" in his heart?

However, the dream was just a dream. Before they knew it, the relationship between the two of them changed from a simple employment relationship to a family relationship.

Especially when Li Hao got married and gave birth to his first child, and the child yelled "Grandpa" in front of Xu Daqiang.

Li Hao followed Uncle Xu down-to-earth in his daily life, taking care of his life, and at the same time, he would occasionally be amazed by the beauty of the people next to Uncle Xu...even some absurd things.

In the first 27 or [-] years of his life, he felt that Uncle Xu must be the reincarnation of the Peach Blossom Immortal.

That luck is outrageous.

However, in the past few years of his life, his mentality has become more and more mature as he turned [-]. When he was brushing his teeth one morning, he suddenly understood a lot of things.

Facing all kinds of beautiful girls around Uncle Xu who are still looking at flowers on a horse...I met at the dinner party, in the bar, all kinds of beautiful girls...Looking at them holding what Uncle Xu bought for me... Thousands of yuan of perfume, tens of thousands of yuan of clothes and bags, and the appearance of leaving happily...

And Uncle Xu sent the woman away with a smile, and when he turned his face, he turned into an ordinary face that he was used to, he seemed to understand.

Uncle Xu, this is not luck.

He was just... lonely.

Isn't it the same with those buzzwords on the Internet now?

Something like "how lonely it is to be invincible".

Sometimes even after returning home from a business trip, with his wife and sleeping child in his arms, and the couple muttering nightly conversations in low voices, they would talk about Uncle Xu. topic.

At first glance, it sounds absurd, as if I have to follow the warm quilt.

But in fact, what the two of them were talking about was... After a tiring day at work, Uncle Xu faced a beautiful girl who he might not even remember where he met, and had no familiarity or tacit understanding. When venting things, what kind of emptiness and loneliness after the end is it?

To put it absurdly, even kissing so many little girls, you have to get used to the different tastes in everyone's mouth...

Especially when getting older...

Just like Li Hao now.

He is in his 30s, although he is not old, but compared to the stunned youth in his 20s, he now prefers the tenderness of being with his wife.

We all know each other, know the roots and know the bottom line, and tacitly guard the sweetness and warmth of the child.

Does Uncle Xu have these?
Li Hao, who has never seen Uncle Xu and anyone fixed for a period of time, can only shake... oh yes, there is a woman.

In my impression, he was a few years younger than Uncle Xu, but...he was the only person he had ever met who could tell Uncle Xu to take the initiative to care for him, and the two of them were "talking about feelings".

pity……

That woman met Sanjin who was the least sensible during the rebellious period.

Every time he thought of this, he felt very sorry.

If Sanjin divided the current sensible into some back then, maybe Uncle Xu would not be alone now.

But today I heard what Uncle Xu talked about with Sanjin at lunchtime...

He had no other thoughts but to sigh.

The older a man is, the harder it is to find a love that he wants.

Now Sanjin is sensible... and filial, and married a daughter-in-law that everyone in the village praises.

But now I think about caring about Uncle Xu's relationship...

Ugh.

Keeping silent, driving the car, muttering these pasts in my heart.

Land Rover has finally come to the position of navigation.

And the weather at this moment is already the beginning of the lights.

There is no way, there is a traffic jam, there are too many cars in Shanghai.

After arriving at the place, Xu Daqiang took a look at the old house in the suburbs, and was about to go inside.

Li Hao hurriedly asked:
"Uncle, do you want to drink?"

"Don't drink."

Xu Daqiang said without looking back.

Hearing this, Li Hao nodded his head to understand the composition of tonight's game.

A clean bureau... Tsk.

He sighed softly.

Others don't know... how can he not know some things?
Since he doesn't drink, it seems that he doesn't have to find a separate table to eat this meal tonight.

……

"Mr. Xu."

In the box, when Liang Bingning saw Xu Daqiang walking in, she smiled and stood up to greet him.

"Ah."

Xu Daqiang said hello and responded with a smile:
"It's late, there's a traffic jam."

"It's okay, I've only arrived soon."

Liang Bingning said, then nodded with Li Hao:

"Brother Hao."

"Hey, hello Bingbing."

Although he was older than Liang Bingning, his title also carried a layer of respect.

There are different opinions on both sides.

Then, according to the custom, he lifted the teapot to pour tea for Xu Daqiang.

The private kitchen here seems to be of high quality, and the utensils are quite particular.But when he picked up the teapot, he found that there was not much water in it. He took a look at the size of the teapot, and more or less knew how long Liang Bingning had been waiting.

Then he didn't pour the tea root for Xu Daqiang, but took the hot water pot next to him and put it on the induction cooker to add tea.

Seeing Li Hao's actions, Xu Daqiang knew what he was doing, and said with a smile:
"It's not good to keep you waiting for so long. The main reason is that Xiaohaolu is not familiar with it. Next time you are familiar with it, you can drive faster. It's not right to keep you two waiting for a long time."

As soon as these words came out, not to mention Liang Bingning, Wang Dongying, who was replacing Yang Tianzhen as an assistant, felt very comfortable because of these words.

She had heard Sister Bingbing tell her about Mr. Xu's energy.

Unexpectedly so approachable.

And very frank... I apologize in time for being late.

It's really different from those upstarts.

Is he really a coal boss?

Can't tell...it looks strong, dark, and full of energy.

From speech to appearance, they are very different from the other rich people Sister Bingbing met.

It feels very real...it's just that the words are a bit rusty...

After Liang Bingning heard this, she smiled and said:
"At that moment, Mr. Xu will have to punish himself with a drink."

"Haha~"

Xu Daqiang waved his hand:

"Tea, drink it all afternoon."

Liang Bingning tilted her head:

"Mr. Xu, I'm talking about wine."

"Ah, don't drink and don't drink. It's eating with you, and it's not socializing. Why do you drink all the time? Didn't you follow Weibo? Look at the doctor who forwarded it. Drinking often, women tend to age quickly .Drink some tea, drink some scented tea, beautify your skin~"

"That can't be done. How can you be thankful if you don't have wine?"

Liang Bingning was still persuading, but Xu Daqiang took Li Hao's water bottle on his own, sat on the chair and waved his hands:

"Thank you very much. Today is just for us to have a meal, so what's the big deal. Have a good meal, drink some tea, and chat?"

"This……"

Taking a look at the two cakes and red wine that she specially prepared on the table, Liang Bingning felt a little helpless:

"I have prepared two bottles of good wine..."

"I don't drink that either. What are you listening to, just drink some tea... Why, you have been having a lot of drinking lately? Did you bring this wine with you in the car?"

"It must be prepared regularly. Otherwise, if you go to eat with others, there will be no atmosphere without wine..."

"Don't take it with you in the car next time."

Hearing this, Xu Daqiang continued to shake his head:

"Well, do you check Weibo often, and those retweets. The doctor made it clear, this..."

He showed a look of reminiscence, thought for a while, and summed up some words:

"Ah, this... dripping high temperature inside the car, for this... it needs a constant temperature storage environment to drop red wine, and the damage is too great. On the one hand, it will damage the taste, and on the other hand, this... this, this... is easy to breed carcinogens. Eh, this Don't dare to fool around..."

As he said that, Xu Daqiang suddenly took out his mobile phone and began to fiddle with it. While fiddling, he said:
"Your home is in Yanjing, so I won't mention it. If you come here, if you have a meal or talk to someone and want to drink, I will give you a call..."

"Ding."

Liang Bingning's cell phone rang:
"You keep this phone number. If you need alcohol, you just call this number. Just say yes and let him deliver it to you. Don't put it in the car. Drinking is not good for your health."

omg...

Mr. Xu is too warm.

Wang Dongying was a little dazed.

After she stepped down from President Yang as Sister Bingbing's assistant and began to serve as the propaganda director, she followed Sister Bingbing's side.

What kinds of people around you haven't seen it?

Regardless of whether those various bosses are gentle or some so-called nouveau riche, everyone always sees Sister Bingbing's attitude very strangely.

There is desire, there is also coveting...

If you can drink, try to let Sister Bingbing drink as much as possible, push the cup and change the cup to play on the spot...

In the past few months, she followed Sister Bingbing to walk around like this.

The father of Director Xu, who is said to be super rich, was the first person who really cared about Sister Bingbing...

This……

Director Xu's gentlemanly demeanor is inherited from Mr. Xu, right?
No wonder she was spotted by Miss Mi...

Although this Mr. Xu sounds stupid, he doesn't have so many rhetoric.But that kind of care and concern that is close to that of the elders...is it too warm?

Rich and gentlemanly...

Wow, this guy is awesome!

Xu Daqiang, who didn't know that with just a few words, he had an extra "little fan girl" put down his phone.

And Liang Bingning saw that he was so serious, so he didn't force it.

Turning to Wang Dongying, she said:

"Yingying, take this wine away. Let them serve hot and cold dishes together... Then ask if there is any scented tea, and have a pot."

"Yeah."

When Wang Dongying got up, Xu Daqiang said with a smile:

"Drink too much wine, don't socialize, and don't talk about things. Just eat, drink, and chat."

"Um……"

Liang Bingning responded, holding her own cup:
"Then replace the wine with tea, welcome to Mr. Xu."

"Come."

Xu Daqiang clinked a glass with her with a smile, and then asked:

"How many awards did San Jin win this time?"

"Mr. Xu doesn't know?... Oh yes, Mr. Xu seemed to be watching "Yongzheng Dynasty" at that time. One didn't... The Golden Image Awards are all for Xiangjiang's movies this time, and people from mainland China went to serve as a foil .”

"Then I won't go there from now on. Make it clear that you can play by yourself behind closed doors. If you're petty, you'll be fine if you stay far away... What about you? Didn't you also act in Xiangjiang movies?"

"Me neither... But I've already won the Golden Rooster. It doesn't really matter whether I win this award or not."

Liang Bingning finished speaking with a smile and asked:
"What did Mr. Xu do when he came to the devil this time?"

"Work. But it's not good to tell you..."

"I understand. I don't understand what Mr. Xu is doing either."

"It's not...it's Sanjin asking me to help. It's very important that things...can be done. I know that the fewer people there are, the better, so it's not that I won't talk to you, but I can't talk about it for the time being."

"Uh……"

Liang Bingning was stunned for a moment, then nodded:
"understood."

"What about you? What have you been up to lately?"

"me……"

She smiled:

"What else can I do? Looking for filming, looking for commercials, and recently talked about a few endorsements, but they will only be available next year. I have to follow closely... It is not certain whether I can win."

"What?"

"Influence, pure influence is not enough... I follow blue and red blood..."

"Medical industry?"

"puff……"

As soon as Xu Daqiang said this, Wang Dongying couldn't hold back, and suddenly burst out laughing.

Liang Bingning frowned... a little unhappy.

And Wang Dongying suddenly panicked... She suddenly laughed out loud at the most inappropriate moment...

This……

"Oh, don't stare at him."

On the contrary, Xu Daqiang looked indifferent, and said to Li Hao with a smile:
"Xiaohao, how about this joke? It's not out of date yet."

Li Hao nodded with a smile:
"Yeah, Bingbing...don't be serious. Once Uncle Xu made this joke, nine out of ten people would have to laugh out loud..."

"Hahaha~"

Xu Daqiang waved his hands again with a smile, and said to Liang Bingning:

"Okay, little girl, you stare so hard. Isn't this joke funny?"

Liang Bingning turned her head and looked at Xu Daqiang in embarrassment:
"Yingying hasn't been with me for long..."

"Ah, what did you say? You know, Lan Hongxue is talking about those... donkeys..."

"..."

The corner of Liang Bingning's mouth twitched...

And Xu Daqiang looked at her intently, and said speechlessly:

"Not funny either?"

"..."

Only then did she realize that Xu was always making her happy.

Immediately, he showed a look of dumbfounding, and said in a coquettish manner:
"President Xu~~~~~"

"Hahahahaha~ Right, smile more. You look good when you smile~ Wearing a mask every day... I already said wow, it's not a business bureau tonight, I just have a meal with my friends. It's nothing to do Feel free wow."

After saying these words, the "smiling mask" on Liang Bingning's face finally faded completely like an iceberg meeting a scorching sun.

Also brought a touch of rosy.

And Wang Dongying silently lowered her head...

My heart is full of uneasiness.

Thinking that he would definitely be scolded when he went back.

But at the same time grateful.

If it wasn't for... this Mr. Xu said it in time, maybe he would not be as simple as being scolded.

Good... good man.

Great!

Then I heard Xu Daqiang say:
"Those foreigners who talk about luxury goods are hypocritical... To choose an advertising spokesperson, you should not only be beautiful, but also have a good temperament. You are not incompatible... How much influence do you need? Why? Want influence... It is simply Just ask Bill Gates to go."

"It's not..."

Liang Bingning shook her head slightly:
"They just want to radiate more fields. What I want is not the endorsement of a certain season or series. This endorsement is also divided into levels. The lowest level is nothing more than a promotional ambassador or a brand endorsement. I have these .Didn’t I appear on the Spring Festival promotional poster in New York Square this year? I’m talking about the endorsement in the Asia-Pacific region... This endorsement is one level lower than the global endorsement, which is very high. If it can be negotiated, then I should be... ...No.1 in domestic history. It is the spokesperson of Louis Vuitton in the Asia-Pacific region..."

"Oh, this is wow..."

Xu Daqiang seemed to understand and nodded, then asked:

"Then what's the difference now? Influence... how influential? Are you not famous enough?"

"Fame is definitely enough. But...Westerners are more hypocritical. They read more. They require spokespersons to have humanistic care and the like... Anyway, there are quite a lot."

"Humanistic care...?"

"Yes, the spokesperson is not only required in the field of entertainment, but also in all aspects. For example, you do charity, or environmental protection..."

"charitable?"

Xu Daqiang was stunned.

Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he turned his head and looked at Li Hao:
"Xiaohao, the last time I came to Shanghai, I had dinner with the person from the Song... Foundation, do you still remember?"

"remember."

Li Hao nodded:
"Mr. Lu."

"That's right, it's him..."

Xu Daqiang turned his head:
"Are you leaving for a few days?"

"..."

Liang Bingning was stunned for a moment, and instead of answering directly, she subconsciously asked:

"Mr. Xu, the foundation you mentioned...could it be..."

Xu Daqiang nodded:

"That's right, we had dinner together, and we had a good chat. There is a charity dinner this year, and I originally planned to let Sanjin and Mimi go...will you go?"

"I won't compete with Mimi..."

Hearing this, Xu Daqiang was amused:
"Is there anything to grab or not? It's a matter of extra chairs... If you are free these two days, why don't you ask him out and introduce you to each other?"

"what!??"

Liang Bingning was stunned:
"But... can it be?"

"What's the matter. It's a matter of a meal... It's better to hit the sun than to choose a date. Tomorrow? Let's go the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow night, how about asking someone out, okay? When you want to do charity, go from here. They Famous wow~"

"..."

Liang Bingning was speechless.

I really don't know what to say.

A charity dinner of that level... How could the people who go there have any celebrities?
They all have to be locals of the Demon City... To put it bluntly, a boss who can shake the ground with his feet.

It is an existence beyond my reach.

But here Mr. Xu... is so flirtatious... invites someone out for dinner?

Moving?

absurd?

Speechless?

Not sure.

She just... With the help of the emotion in her heart, she said sincerely:

"Thank you Mr. Xu..."

"Haha, what's the matter? It's a small matter~"

There is no exchange of benefits.

No courtesy.

Don't you say that people depend on influence? Isn't it charity?
Okay, let me help you get to the top one step at a time.

Using one's own name to donate money is completely different from attending this kind of charity dinner and being on the news... the concept is completely different.

Listening to this hearty laughter, and... this kind of help that never asked for anything in return.

Looking at this man who exudes refreshing and heroic aura...

I'm used to what I want to get, and I have to give something equally. From the beginning to the end, no one is backing me or giving me a piece of protection. , the most sincere smile.

Like an iceberg melting.

Beautiful.

Sure enough, Mr. Xu is still Mr. Xu.

Nothing has changed.

Think of this...

Her heart is very warm.

Even if this kind of care is not even a fart to the other party.

But for himself, he really hit the vital point that he needed most.

Mr. Xu's "protective umbrella" was only a little bit on himself, and he directly solved his urgent needs.

If you can get recognition, you will once again help your career rise to a higher level.

The importance of red and blue blood to the artist's brand value is self-evident.

But that's exactly what happened...

She suddenly felt a little terrified again.

No, it is not appropriate to speak of panic.

perhaps……

self-abasement?

No, how could it be inferiority complex.

I have nothing to be ashamed of... I am... the big star Liang Bingning...

She felt a little funny again.

But at first...

The woman who can't figure out the taste can only use the teacup to hide her emotions.

Fortunately, at this moment... the door opened.

A waiter came in with a tray.

Time to serve.

call……

Taking this opportunity, she suppressed the absurd sense of inferiority in her heart, and said with a smile:

"Now I'm more worried about whether tonight's dishes can satisfy Mr. Xu~"

"Hahahaha~ It's easy to feed, you can live with a bowl of noodles~"

Xu Daqiang laughed again.

Rough and heroic.

That smile was bright, but for some reason...Liang Bingning seemed to be a little dazzling, avoiding this smile and looking at the delicacies on the plate.
