In the silent place

Standing up, Bai Jintang walked to the loveseat sofa, put the trench coat that Bai Yutang had just taken off on the armrest, and sat down next to his brother. "Yutang, how do you think about what our dad said?" Picking up his teacup, Bai Jintang took a sip. He was already tired from the two years of roundabout battles. As a result, he directly cut to the point.

Lifting Erlang's legs and leaning on the armrest, Bai Yutang rested his chin on one hand and glanced at the elder brother beside him. "Didn't you already know the answer?"

"Our dad is getting old, and we have to find someone to take over the headquarters in the south. You can choose one of the two sides."

If it's not soft, it's hard.Bai Yutang laughed inwardly, anyway, he had made up his mind a long time ago, let them do what they want.

Putting the teacup back on the coffee table, Bai Jintang saw that his brother had been silent for a long time, besides being helpless, he was also angry. "When my dad was young, he had no backing, no financial support, and he started from scratch. Now that the company's performance is booming, it's the time when manpower is needed. You have to think about him."

"How many times have I told you that I am not interested in the company at all." Bai Yutang said coldly.He didn't want to quarrel, for this matter, he had already quarreled with the old man several times.What the elder brother said is not wrong, it is not easy for my father, for this company, I don't know how much effort I have put in to occupy a place in the media, film and television industry.But why can't they also consider for him, can he give up his beloved acting career?

"Interests can be cultivated. Now that you have entered the entertainment industry, can you say that you have not been influenced by our father and the company at all?" Bai Jintang stood up, picked up the cigarette case from the desk, took out two cigarettes, one for himself He picked it up, and handed the other to Bai Yutang. "I'm not forcing you either, you can think about it later. In fact, things in the company are not as boring as you think." Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered an interesting thing. "By the way, Lu Fang just signed a newcomer a while ago. Speaking of which, she is still your college junior. She just graduated this year. I don't know if you recognize her or not."

"What's it called?" Bai Yutang asked.

"Tan Feng." Opening half of the window, Bai Jintang lit a cigarette and threw the lighter to Bai Yutang.

"Have not heard."

"Although Lu Fang is not a director, he has first-rate eyes and brains, and the few newcomers he discovered are quite talented."

"That is, the person I recommend can be wrong?" Bai Yutang said proudly.

"I really hope you can come to the company..." When Bai Jintang said this, seeing his brother's face darken again, he hurriedly explained: "I'm not speaking for my father... Come on, you don't do this business, you don't know what's going on Even if I tell you, you won’t understand.”

Bai Yutang didn't even glance at Bai Jintang, with an expression that no one could understand.

The two brothers haven't seen each other for a while, except for talking about taking over the company, they have a lot of common topics.It was almost noon in the blink of an eye.The two took their coats and walked downstairs together.

"Xiaotong, the opportunity has come."

Upon hearing his colleague's reminder, Liu Tong quickly stood up and looked towards the stairs.It didn't matter what he saw, and he was immediately discouraged.

"What are you dawdling for?" The long-haired girl touched Liu Tong's arm. "Not yet? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Gritting his teeth, Liu Tong secretly cheered himself up, Boss Bai is a good person, he won't fire her.After hesitating for a while, he finally plucked up the courage to catch up. "Can you sign for me?" He said and handed over the prepared paper and pen.

Bai Yutang was taken aback for a moment, then took it, and the tip of the pen quickly swiped across the paper, and the chic and handsome handwriting immediately appeared on the paper.Bai Jintang on the side couldn't laugh or cry, his subordinates actually asked the celebrity for an autograph in front of him, no matter what he was the boss!Have you ignored the company's rules? "Liu Tong, don't you want to do it anymore?"

"Boss, I was wrong." Liu Tong quickly bowed his head to admit his mistake, but leaned towards the idol, then raised his head and winked at the colleagues at the front desk, wanting to run away.

"You don't want the autograph?" Bai Yutang said to the girl with a smile.

"Oh, thank you." Liu Tong took the signature from the idol, nodded to the boss, and hurried away.

"Let me see it next time, and fire immediately." Bai Jintang yelled at the back of his subordinates.

"Don't yell at my fans." Bai Yutang joked with a smile.

"Come on, you are so poor. She is your fan, and even my subordinate."

The two said, pushed open the revolving door and walked out of the building.Xiaotong, who was at the reception desk behind her, was holding a mobile phone, looking at the photo taken by her colleagues with her idol secretly, and couldn't close her mouth with laughter.The long-haired girl sighed, these days, star-chasing sisters are all crazy...

Arriving at the Jiuxiang restaurant, the waiter led the two of them to the reserved table. Bai Jintang looked at the eyes that drifted from all directions from time to time, and felt a strange feeling in his heart.On weekdays, he often comes into contact with various directors and stars, and when he is with them, he will become the focus of attention no matter where he goes.But the one sitting in front of him is his younger brother who grew up playing and playing with him.From the signing event just now to the current attention, he realized the fact that his younger brother has indeed made a name for himself in the entertainment industry. Compared with two years ago, his reputation is getting bigger and bigger.Suddenly recalling the news that the online novel "Worthy" that has been stealing the limelight in entertainment reports is about to be released on the silver screen, he rests on the dining table with one elbow, looks at his brother opposite, and asks thoughtfully: "Worthy is the selection of "Worthy"?" How is the role going? Have you found a suitable candidate?" Six months ago, Lu Fang did not know what method he used to persuade his brother to join him, and successfully obtained the film copyright of this popular work.It was the first and only time that Bai Yutang participated in the internal negotiations of Bai's Media.Bai Jintang was secretly happy at the time, thinking that his brother had finally shaken his heart and figured it out, but he didn't expect that the joy is still in vain now.

"The last round is not over yet, so I can only say that I have a preliminary intention." Speaking of this, Bai Yutang always felt a little regretful. With the increasingly intensive contact with Zhan Zhao, he couldn't help but compare those candidates with him. In comparison, it was like being under a spell, and even Tian Pin became more and more dissatisfied with it.Shaking his head, he smiled self-deprecatingly.

"What? The casting didn't go well?"

"It doesn't count."

"How to say?"

Sighing, Bai Yutang put down the teacup in his hand, looked at the elder brother opposite him with his chin and said, "Actually, Liu Xian and I already have the best candidate in our minds, and the most rare thing is that we still have our eyes on the same person. He is not from the industry, and he has made it clear that he is not interested in acting. So..." Bai Yutang pursed his lips and shrugged helplessly.

Bai Jintang took the napkin and put it under the plate, and suddenly smiled: "Outsider, you two fell in love at the same time? Is there such a coincidence?"

Glancing at Bai Jintang, Bai Yutang didn't say any more.Picking up the chopsticks and pointing at the dish that was just served on the table, he smiled at his brother: "Come, come, let's eat!"

Seeing that he avoided answering, Bai Jintang didn't ask any more questions, picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of the dish into his mouth first, and started to move.

Two days later, Jiang Dong sent his uncle to the airport. After checking in his luggage, he checked that it was still early, and took his uncle to the McDonald's on the first floor to fill it out briefly, and then went to the security check entrance together.

"Xiaodong, let's go back." Zhan Huaiyi was worried, his brother-in-law and sister-in-law hadn't come back from a long trip, and there was only his son at home. Thinking of his son's appearance when he parted just now, he couldn't help but feel his eyes warm. "Your cousin has a stubborn temper, and he's a stickler. In the future, you can help me keep an eye on him, and don't let him mess around."

"Uncle, don't worry, I will."

"Well, then I'm leaving."

"You take care of yourself, too."

Zhan Huaiyi nodded, waved at his nephew, and walked into the security checkpoint without looking back.Jiang Dong looked at his uncle's back until he completely disappeared from sight before turning around and returning home.

It was already eight o'clock in the evening when we got home, the hall was lit, Jiang Dong closed the door, turned around and saw his cousin poking his head out from the door frame. "Cousin, my dad..."

"Don't worry, uncle is fine. The plane has already taken off at this point, and we will be there tomorrow." Jiang Dong's eyes are not very good, and he can vaguely see the redness around his cousin's eyes, and he can't help feeling a little sad.The parting atmosphere at the airport was too uncomfortable. Fortunately, Zhan Zhao promised his uncle not to see him off, otherwise...hey...Jiang Dong sighed softly thinking about it.

"Thank you cousin."

After changing his shoes, he walked into the living room, and the two sat on the sofa. Jiang Dong heard his hoarse voice just now, and asked worriedly, "Are you all right?"

"It's okay." Zhan Zhao smiled at Jiang Dong, then turned his attention to the TV.

Jiang Dong scratched his head, not knowing how to comfort him, held back for a long time, and said, "When you miss him, I'll accompany you to see him." He turned his head to look at his cousin, and saw him watching TV, His eyes were shining brightly, and he was afraid that he would shed tears.He is not afraid of anything, but he is afraid of people crying.For a moment, I was embarrassed, and I didn't even know where to put my hands and feet.When he was nervous, he saw Zhan Zhao turned his head, with a faint smile in his eyes, nodded seriously to him, and said hello loudly.His heart immediately relaxed.Standing up and stroking my cousin's hair, I ran to the kitchen to get a can of drink, folded back and poured it on the sofa. "Have you had dinner yet?"

"Eat." Zhan Zhao leaned against the armrest, reached out and thumped his thigh. "Cousin, I want to open a bookstore."

"Why did you suddenly think of this?" Jiang Dong hurriedly turned around and asked.

"Actually, I've been thinking about it for a while. I can't stay at home like this all the time."

"Why not, my brother will support you." Jiang Dong stared, speaking with confidence. "Don't let me think about things all day long."

"Cousin..." Zhan Zhao was grateful in his heart, but it's not a long-term solution to just stay at home with nothing to do all day long. "Staying at home all the time makes me feel stupid."

The cousin said it pitifully, Jiang Dong sighed with his shoulders slumped, retracted his feet on the coffee table, sat up straight, and said to him earnestly: "Brother knows that you are bored at home, but your body... .”

"I'm much better, and opening a bookstore is not a tiring job." Seeing Jiang Dong pondering, Zhan Zhao seemed to have been shaken, so he seized the opportunity and continued to 'prescribe': "Cousin, I've stayed for too long. I'm really going to be an idiot, so you can help me, okay?"

His voice was already soft and gentle, but at this moment, there was a bit of begging, and Jiang Dong was bursting with love.He fully understands Zhan Zhao's thoughts and psychology. If he were to live in the isolation ward by himself, let alone three years, he would probably go crazy in a month.The cousin is still so young, it is really unrealistic for him to stay at home all his life.Jiang Dong lowered his head, put his elbows on his thighs, half-bent down, clasped his hands together, and asked in a deep voice, "Have you discussed it with your father?"

"I said, he didn't object."

"Is that a promise?"

"Really." Zhan Zhao scratched his head while talking, anyway, his father didn't object, so let's take it as acquiescence for now.

Jiang Dong thought for a while, then raised his body and asked, "Have you thought about it?"

"Well, think it over." Zhan Zhao nodded firmly.

"Okay, brother will help you."

"Cousin..." Zhan Zhao looked at Jiang Dong, his eyes were as black as ink, shining like stars, "You are so kind."

"Stop! Don't give me sugar water." Raising his hand to interrupt his cousin, Jiang Dong grabbed the remote control on the coffee table to change the channel to the sports channel, turned his head to the corner of his lips, and was smiling very happily The Zhan Zhao said: "There will be a boxing match later, I will occupy it for a while, you don't mind."

"Look, I'm going to take a shower." Zhan Zhao said, standing up slowly while supporting his left leg.

"Does your leg still hurt?"

"The result of not exercising for a long time, it's fine." Zhan Zhao patted his leg, and suddenly made a side kick.Jiang Dong was startled, and quickly jumped up to help him. "Master? What are you doing?"

Zhan Zhao chuckled and said, "It's okay, I'm going to start practicing Tai Chi tomorrow."

"Can we stop tossing around?" Jiang Dong almost covered his heart, the moment just now really left him with lingering fear.

"Don't worry, I read it from Dr. Han's forum. He said that exercise is good for the body. The first recommendation is Tai Chi." Zhan Zhao said, gestured twice, Jiang Dong saw that it was quite similar decent. "Then take it easy on your own, don't be too intense, your body won't be able to take it later."

"Yes, I know." Zhan Zhao said, and walked out of the living room.Jiang Dong watched his slender and straight back disappear by the door, shook his head with a smile, turned back and lay down on the sofa, and continued watching his sports program.
