miss me

a few days later.

Six p.m.

After feeding the bamboo and returning, Xia Xinghe almost jogged into the house.

The winter solstice is the coldest time of the year, even in the south, it is so cold that even the air is covered with white mist.

The cold in the south is wet and cold, commonly known as "magic attack". When he opened the door, Xia Xinghe turned on the air conditioner as quickly as possible, and then turned on the electric heating fan and placed it in front of him. Fingers gradually regained consciousness.

Xia Xinghe is from the north, and his hometown is more than 1000 kilometers away from Liaohu Lake. After the college entrance examination, he wanted to go outside to see the vast world. After applying for the exam, he came here. They all feel extremely difficult.

The air conditioner was humming, and the body gradually warmed up, warm, and a little tired.

Xia Xinghe was still on vacation and didn't need to code at night. After washing at home, he took off his shoes and huddled under the blanket, playing with his phone comfortably.

Weibo, station b, video software.

After a while, it doesn't make much sense.

Xia Xinghe's eyelids were clenched and he was about to fall asleep, but the message notification bar suddenly jumped up.

[Edit Oatmeal: Bamboo sticks are great! ]

[EDIT Oatmeal: Great news! ]

Xia Xinghe sent a question mark in a daze, and the news from Oatmeal arrived very quickly.

[EDIT Oatmeal: Have you had time lately? ]

[Editor Yan Mai: Another film and television company came to inquire about the film and television copyright of "Wang Guorenjian"]

[Edit Oats: Nanfeng Film and Television, what about big companies]

[Edit Oats: The person in charge of the other party also said that he would like to talk to you in person. ]

The moment Xia Xinghe saw the news, he was slightly taken aback.

Giving hope but being disappointed is the most frustrating thing. There are many previous failures. Xia Xinghe no longer has any hope of selling movies, so he casually replied to Yanmai: [Did you tell them about my conditions?I don't want heroines and emotional scenes. ]

[EDIT Oatmeal: Said. ]

[Edit Oatmeal: The other party said that they can talk about it, but they want to see you. ]

Xia Xinghe suddenly sat up from the bed, and the previous drowsiness instantly disappeared without a trace.

No matter how comforting he is, it's okay, film and television adaptation has always been Xia Xinghe's dream.

When I was young, the Internet was not yet popular, Xia Xinghe's favorite pastime was lying in front of the TV. When I was young, I didn't understand anything, and watched the colorful life from the TV through the screen. Later, I wrote various stories, and I also looked forward to Telling your own story has such an opportunity to be seen by more people.

Film and television adaptation is a big project, and there are often times when interviews are required, but being able to get to this stage at least means that the other party is sincere. As for whether the negotiation can be completed, Xia Xinghe still believes that it depends on human effort.

[Little Bamboo: Good. ]

[Xiao Zhuzi: I have time recently. ]

The characters sent out are flat, and the mood is inevitably tense and excited.

The meeting time was set at noon the next day, and during the whole day in between, Xia Xinghe felt anxious, as if he had a bouncing bunny in his arms, or stepped on a large ball of cotton.

In the afternoon, Xia Xinghe went to see the bamboo as usual, and changed the food and water for the bamboo. Seeing that its hair was knotted, he went to get a big comb to help it loosen the hair a little bit.

The movements of his hands didn't stop, and he couldn't help but think about the meeting the next day, nervous and looking forward to it.

The white fluff flutters in the air, like snow and dandelions, quite dreamy.Fluttering white fluff flew in front of his face, Xia Xinghe covered his nose with one hand, closed his eyes, and couldn't help but make a wish to himself: "Zhuzi, brother is going to meet with the film and television company tomorrow, wish me good luck, If it works this time, brother will definitely buy you delicious food."

"What else do you want to buy for bamboo?"

The familiar clear voice sounded from behind, Xia Xinghe suddenly turned around, only to realize that Bai Qingzhou had appeared behind him at some point.

His thoughts were suddenly interrupted, Xia Xinghe couldn't get away from his thoughts for a while, and asked him in a daze: "When did you come back?"

Bai Qingzhou said, "Just now."

He approached a little closer, looked at Xia Xinghe with light-colored eyes, and asked again: "You just said, what do you want to buy for Zhuzi?"

Xia Xinghe was a little embarrassed. Last time he said he wanted to sell the film and television, but he didn't sell it. This time, he didn't dare to talk nonsense, he touched the tip of his nose nonchalantly, and smiled again: "It's nothing, I was joking with Zhuzi .”

"Oh." Bai Qingzhou nodded slightly, his eyes flicked past Zhuzi's silly head, his brows were slightly frowned, and his tone was indifferent, "It's better to ask me than to make a wish to it."

Xia Xinghe choked for a moment, and then realized that Bai Qingzhou should have heard what he said just now, so he stopped hiding, glanced at him openly, and deliberately joked: "Really? Is it useful to find you? Don't you need me to cook you another meal?"

He originally intended to make a joke, and wanted to dampen Bai Qingzhou's prestige, so that he would stop acting like "I can do anything" every day, but he didn't expect Bai Qingzhou to really think about it seriously, and after a while, he readily accepted the proposal :"also."

Xia Xinghe: "...?"

Tsk, I didn't find out before, this person is quite rude.

Bai Qingzhou's attitude was strange, Xia Xinghe was actually suspicious for a moment.A thought suddenly popped up from the bottom of his heart, before he had time to think about it, he heard Bai Qingzhou suddenly say: "...or you can just bark."

Xia Xinghe: "..."

All right, all thoughts were taken back.

Xia Xinghe really couldn't figure out Bai Qingzhou's weird thoughts, and he didn't bother to think about it anymore. He just thought that he was connoting that it was useless for him to bark like a dog, and he was waiting to see his jokes, so he replied bluntly. : "Don't drag me into the water, I don't have the same special habit of barking like a dog like you."

The hostile tone clearly couldn't get a gentle response, Bai Qingzhou frowned suddenly, and after a while, he said coldly: "You can do whatever you want."

He got up and went to the next window sill to get another brush, moved another stool, sat on the other side of the bamboo, and lowered his head to help him comb his hair.

He has a big temper.

Xia Xinghe was not used to him, so he didn't answer, and continued to comb Zhuzhu's hair on his own.

The two stood on both sides of the bamboo, and each held a comb to help the bamboo to comb the hair on its own side. The white fluff flew up, floated to the hair, and stuck to the clothes. Ken walks away.

Zhuzi doesn't like grooming very much. Usually, every time Xia Xinghe brushes him, he would roll around coquettishly and flick his tail trying to escape, but this time Zhuzi didn't dare to hide. He felt the atmosphere of the two people around him being tense, so he didn't dare to move. Obediently stood where he was, and let the two big combs move on his body.

1 minute and 2 minutes is okay, and 5 minutes and more than ten minutes can be tolerated. After a long time, bamboo is still not happy.

Afraid that its master would be angry, it groaned and leaned its head towards Xia Xinghe, blinking its wet eyes, and licked Xia Xinghe's palm as if to please.

"Ow~"

Xia Xinghe reacted quickly, the hand holding the comb stiffened for a moment, and his heart suddenly softened.

Forget it, why are he and Bai Qingzhou angry, isn't it the bamboo that suffers?

Xia Xinghe sighed lightly, put down the comb in his hand, and went down the steps by himself, "Okay, I've combed the bamboo too, so you should calm down, right? I was just joking, who told you to let me go first?" Did I bark like a dog?"

Bai Qingzhou also stopped what he was doing, his brows were still frowning, like a child, tense awkwardly.It was the first time Xia Xinghe saw his expression at close range, and he was immediately amused, and the displeasure in his heart quickly disappeared.

"Okay, okay," Xia Xinghe waved his hands helplessly, his tone softened a bit, "Don't be so tempered, if the negotiation can be made, I will thank you and Zhuzi together, will it work?"

"I'll make you whatever you want to eat? Will it work?"

Xia Xinghe laughed along with him, Bai Qingzhou remained silent, Xia Xinghe curled his lips again, looking as if he was about to get angry, then Bai Qingzhou put down his comb, and said stiffly: "...don't be nervous tomorrow."

After a while, an even more awkward sentence came: "Come on."

Xia Xinghe was really amused, raised the corner of his mouth and said "thank you", and suddenly realized that Bai Qingzhou was also quite easy to coax.

Xia Xinghe thought, it's a pity that when they were together before, he was always worrying about gain and loss, and he was afraid that Bai Qingzhou would be unhappy, and he had never talked to him like this, and he had never discovered that he had such a side.

After returning from Bai Qingzhou's house, Xia Xinghe began to prepare for the meeting the next day.

Dressing appropriately is a must, as well as being prepared for questions the other party might ask.Xia Xinghe rummaged through boxes and cabinets to find his most formal suit, ironed it, hung it up carefully, and sat in front of the computer again, not enough to prepare the brief introduction of his own article, and carefully wrote down the development history of the other party's company. , the name of the leader, etc. I read it again, and I was busy until the early hours of the morning.

It was late at night, Xia Xinghe rubbed his sore eyes, thinking bitterly, he didn't look for a job when he graduated, so this time he has returned.

Xia Xinghe thought he had done everything he could, but he still felt nervous. When he entered the office building and saw the project leader, his heart trembled even more.

It was a woman in her 40s, about the same age as Xia Xinghe's mother, but she didn't have the kindness and kindness of her mother at all.

She was dressed in neat and slim working attire, with a frown between her brows and no smile on her face. Ever since Xia Xinghe entered the door, she had looked at Xia Xinghe indifferently, with an air of calm and prestige.

When their eyes met, Xia Xinghe's scalp went numb.

"Hello," Xia Xinghe pursed his lower lips and stretched out his right hand, "My name is Xia Xinghe, my pen name is Zhuzhi, and I am the author of the article "Wang Guorenjian."

"Shi Yumin."

Shi Yumin said her name lightly, her light-colored eyes looked at Xia Xinghe calmly, and after a long time, she stretched out her hand, "Hello."

After a brief introduction, Xia Xinghe and Shi Yumin sat opposite each other. The atmosphere in the small office was solemn, and Shi Yumin's expression was also indifferent and serious.

"Okay, let's start now. First I want to ask you..."

Starting from her creative intentions, she posted a series of posts to Xia Xinghe one after another, with tricky angles and a bad tone, and when she encountered some difficult questions to answer, she would continue to ask them.

Xia Xinghe felt more and more that his previous judgment was wrong, and Xin Dao was afraid that he would return empty-handed just like before, but he had come to this point, what he could do was still to be done, Xia Xinghe could only take a deep breath, Do your best to answer Shi Yumin's question.

half an hour.

One hour.

Time passed by, Xia Xinghe was sitting upright, and Shi Yumin was not relaxed.

She kept calmly observing Xia Xinghe's reaction, and continued to ask questions.

She was deliberately investigating Xia Xinghe.

Shi Yumin is the chief project manager of Nanfeng Film and Television, and a woman does not give way to a man.She is good at discovering newcomers, and especially likes delicate works with rich emotions

For more than ten years, Shi Yumin has helped to make decisions and invest in dozens of movies and TV dramas. There are many high-quality products and abundant resources.

Xia Xinghe deliberately read these materials when he was doing his homework, and he knew it clearly in his heart, but what he didn't know was that Shi Yumin had another identity, she was Bai Qingzhou's biological mother.
