Fireproof anti-theft anti-bamboo horse
Chapter 33 Relief
Ji Chen flipped through fashion magazines absently. Lu Cheng had been in for about half an hour, and he didn't know what the two of them were talking about.
He waited in the lounge for a while, and when he was really worried, he walked out in the corridor and pretended to look at the scenery, but he kept paying attention to the movements in the president's office.
After more than ten minutes, Lu Cheng finally came out from inside.
"How is it?" Ji Chen saw him for the first time, stepped forward and asked impatiently.
"Sure enough, there is no free lunch in the world." It's not convenient to talk about it in other places. Lu Cheng took a bottle of mineral water from Ji Chen, and soon the two left Zhang Ling Film and Television together.
Hu Min's last sentence couldn't be more clear. If she can praise Lu Cheng and give him such an important role, then Lu Cheng will naturally agree to sign it under her personal name.
Chen Shu had already brought the car over and parked it nearby. As soon as they got in the car, Lu Cheng said to Ji Chen, "This movie can't be filmed, let's choose another one from the previously selected book."
"Why, she wants to sneak into you?"
"Pfft..." Lu Chenggang unscrewed the cap of the mineral water bottle and took a sip, all of it was sprayed out, and his pants were wet a lot, he hurriedly turned back to get the paper on the back seat, "Take your brains away... "
Ji Chen raised his eyebrows: "That is to dig you out."
"Almost." Lu Cheng finally wiped off the water on his body, and took another sip cautiously, "Do you know that Hu Min plans to set up his own family?"
"She told you?"
"Ah."
"Hehe, when Hu Min was Su Ling's assistant, she did not hesitate to seduce Xu Mingzhang in order to climb up to the management team. I don't believe that she would let her go easily now." Ji Chen had a look of contempt across his face, "After so many years as the master I'm afraid Hu Min has long forgotten who Zhang Ling belongs to."
"...Su Ling?"
"It's Xu Boyan's mother." Ji Chen gave him a surprised look, "You don't know?"
"..."
That woman's face appeared in Lu Cheng's mind. In fact, he hadn't seen Su Ling a few times, and when he went to find Xu Boyan, he kept her behind his back, and he didn't even say hello.
The woman in my memory always leaves early and returns late. Her facial features are very delicate, but her expression is extremely tired. It is obvious that her mental state was already very unstable at that time.
No wonder she took Xu Boyan away from home. Lu Cheng realized that Hu Min was the chief culprit who caused Xu Boyan to live without a fixed place, and suddenly understood why he hated Xu Mingzhang so much, even after Su Ling passed away.
"I've always been curious, why do you, a native of the imperial capital, know Xu Boyan?"
"Actually, he lived in my house for a long time, and was not found by the Xu family until I was in the college entrance examination." Lu Cheng briefly explained how he and Xu Boyan met, but ignored the specific details.
"No wonder, Xu Boyan has never shown up in public, so he was taken away by Su Ling." Ji Chen thought about it, but still felt wrong, "You said that after Su Ling had an accident, Xu Boyan lived in your house, but under the name Xu How could he not be found for so long?"
"This... I don't know."
As soon as Lu Cheng thought that all the suffering Xu Boyan suffered was because of Hu Min, the disgust he felt towards this woman couldn't be increased.
"However, Hu Min may not be lying," Ji Chen analyzed, "Don't think that Chen Yu is just Xu Mingzhang's nephew. He has no less power in Zhang Ling than Hu Min. Xu Boyan has returned to China now. When Xu Mingzhang gets older, he will take over Xu Mingzhang. It's also a matter of time, I don't know how much Zhang Ling's shares she holds now, if she can't beat those old foxes on the board of directors, Zhang Ling won't have a place for her, so it's better to make preparations as soon as possible."
"Then what does she want to do now?" Lu Cheng frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly understood, "Ji Chenchen, the person she really wants is you, right?"
To what extent Ji Chen's contacts in the circle extend, even Lu Cheng is not clear, but it is undoubtedly the existence that many people want to win over. After all, if he really wants to start again, he will definitely be a very good help.
"In her words, she implied that you and Suchen Media didn't pay enough attention to me. If you don't agree with my termination of the contract, then the rift between us will definitely become bigger. On the contrary, if you agree, she will be happy to see it together. It’s not a loss at all to accept me.”
"Perhaps." Ji Chen wasn't interested in Hu Min's plan at all, and Lu Cheng was not a newcomer who had never seen the world, and he could be hooked by scaring him and giving him a piece of candy.
"It's up to her to make a fuss. She can't even bear to part with a movie and wants to come here to poach a role. No one is a fool. If she does what she does today, she will look down on you too much."
"Even if I don't know about her relationship with the Xu family, it's impossible for me to agree." Lu Cheng shrugged indifferently, "It's so troublesome to change jobs, and the stir-fry in our company cafeteria is really delicious."
"...You just think about eating." Ji Chen thought he was going to sensationalize that the company treated him kindly, but he really over-thought.
He relaxed, leaned on the back seat and rubbed the space between his brows. All his worries were unnecessary. This is the Lu Cheng he knew. It would be foolish to try to impress him with resources. He doesn't care about being in the entertainment circle He cares about how far he goes. The bottom line he has always adhered to may be ridiculous in the eyes of outsiders, but it has never changed over the years.
"Speaking of stir fry, I have a lot of popular restaurants in City H." Lu Cheng licked his lips, looking very yearning.I thought I would stay in City H for a while because of the movie, but now I don't have a chance to eat all the delicious restaurants.
"Time is tight, and most of them still have to queue up. You can count as many as you can eat. Chen Shu, please drive faster!"
Lu Cheng opened the review software, randomly clicked on a store from the favorites list, and started to navigate.
However, he did not expect that this originally unintentional move would bring him another job opportunity.
"Bu Yi Ren Jia" is a well-known Chinese restaurant in the local area, which specializes in creative dishes.Although it has only been open for one year, the ratings are frighteningly high. It has been recommended by major media websites for a long time, and there is an endless stream of customers who come here every day.
Lu Cheng was lucky. He took the number plate and waited for a seat. He saw that he would have to wait for more than two hours. He was about to go shopping in a nearby shopping mall, but when he met a family who had something to do, he gave them the number plate. It took half an hour to be led to the table by the waiter.
When they just sat down, Huazhi also rushed over.
Because she is from City H, Ji Chen gave her little assistant a day off. Who would have thought that when that girl heard that Lu Cheng and the others had lined up at a super popular restaurant, she immediately said that she would come right away without delaying even a minute.
Listening to the name of this restaurant, you can tell that most of the dishes here are light and healthy. The decoration of the restaurant is modeled after ancient times. The environment is very elegant and simple, with hollowed-out window edges, small bridges and flowing water, and even a black canopy boat that can accommodate four people. .
Lu Cheng and the others were seated at the table for four near the window. The well-trained service staff quickly cleaned up the table and served a pot of lemonade.
After ordering, Lu Cheng looked around while drinking lemonade. There was only one young boy at the next table, but there were four or five plates on the table, and he had almost eaten.
Lu Cheng clicked his tongue secretly, even for a boy who is growing up in puberty, this appetite is amazing, and the other party was still not satisfied after eating two bowls of rice, so he called the waiter for another bowl.
"It seems that their food is delicious." Chen Shu followed Lu Cheng's eyes and saw that the boy was eating so deliciously, and he only hoped that the food would be served quickly.
"Of course, you don't know how difficult it is to wait for a seat at their house." Although Huazhi is a local, she works out of town and has short vacations, and she doesn't have time to queue for hours for a meal, so that she Although I really wanted to come, I never had the chance. "It's a pity that the signature dish, silver silk glutinous rice rolls, is sold out."
It's still daytime, which shows how popular this dish is.
"Glutinous rice rolls? Like mochi?"
"No, it seems that it came from the palace. There are not many restaurants in H City that can cook it. It is much more delicious than mochi." Although Huazhi has never eaten it, but reading the description on the Internet, he praised this dish. There is nothing in the sky and there is nothing in the earth. When I think that I don’t know when I will have a chance next time, I feel a little depressed.
"By the way, when I came here to participate in an event, I bought a kind of dim sum, which was also delicious. It was also made of glutinous rice, and the filling was roses. Have you tried it?" Lu Cheng tried hard to think for a long time, but he couldn't remember what it was called. name.
Huazhi shook her head, aroused her curiosity again, and there was a snack she didn't know about: "It sounds delicious."
"That store is near Central Park."
"I'll try it if I get a chance."
Like a good student, Hua Zhi wrote down the restaurants recommended by Lu Cheng one by one. These two foodies got together so that no one else could get in the way.
Taking advantage of Lu Cheng's inattention, Chen Shu secretly tugged on Huazhi's sleeve, and said in a low voice, "You can just listen to the store recommended by Brother Cheng."
"Why?" Huazhi was very puzzled.
"Because most of the things he recommends are not tasty." Hua Zhicai hadn't been there for long, so of course she didn't suffer as much as Chen Shu.
"Not so much."
"Really, I advise you not to try it lightly." Chen Shu glanced at Lu Cheng who was mixing rice with glutinous rice lotus root sauce, and swallowed hard, "Brother Cheng's taste is very strange."
Hua Zhi nodded suspiciously, still not believing it in his heart, no matter how strange it is, the things recommended by Brother Cheng are not impossible to import.
After a long time, when Huazhi couldn't resist the temptation to eat the special flower cake Lu Cheng brought back for her, she was so full of flavor syrup that she burst into tears, and had to admit that she was still too young.
These few people didn't eat breakfast, but after the dishes were served, they had a surprisingly tacit understanding. Ji Chen and others were all absorbed in eating hard, and they no longer had the desire to chat.
Just when they were thinking about ordering a few more dishes to take back to the hotel, the boy next door finally had enough and called the waiter to prepare the bill.
"A total of 460 and five yuan." The waiter handed over the bill. The boy just took a look and put his hand into the backpack, but he couldn't take out the wallet after fumbling for a long time.
The boy's face changed suddenly, and he turned out all the things in the bag with some embarrassment, but he couldn't find the wallet.
"Sorry, my wallet seems to have been stolen."
"It doesn't matter, our store also supports mobile payment, WeChat and Alipay." The waiter reminded understandingly.
In recent years, mobile payment has become the mainstream. Even the aunts who sell pancakes and fruits at the stalls have posted their WeChat scan codes in the most conspicuous places to facilitate customers to pay. Many young people don’t even bother to bring their wallets when they go out.
But Luo Hejia is different. He grew up abroad, and he doesn’t even know what Alipay is.
"Can I make a call first?" Before he finished speaking, he realized that he had eaten too much just now, and he didn't even notice that his phone was dead.
"Uh..." Luo Hejia was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to sneak in, and the diners around looked at him frequently, all of them looked at the show in their eyes.
How can a young man who looks very energetic be reduced to eating a king's meal.
"Can you lend me your phone?" Luo Hejia couldn't ignore the attention from all directions, his face flushed, and it took him a long time to hold back a word.
"Sorry, we are not allowed to bring mobile phones at work." The waiter smiled awkwardly but politely.
He waited in the lounge for a while, and when he was really worried, he walked out in the corridor and pretended to look at the scenery, but he kept paying attention to the movements in the president's office.
After more than ten minutes, Lu Cheng finally came out from inside.
"How is it?" Ji Chen saw him for the first time, stepped forward and asked impatiently.

"Why, she wants to sneak into you?"
"Pfft..." Lu Chenggang unscrewed the cap of the mineral water bottle and took a sip, all of it was sprayed out, and his pants were wet a lot, he hurriedly turned back to get the paper on the back seat, "Take your brains away... "
Ji Chen raised his eyebrows: "That is to dig you out."
"Almost." Lu Cheng finally wiped off the water on his body, and took another sip cautiously, "Do you know that Hu Min plans to set up his own family?"
"She told you?"
"Ah."
"Hehe, when Hu Min was Su Ling's assistant, she did not hesitate to seduce Xu Mingzhang in order to climb up to the management team. I don't believe that she would let her go easily now." Ji Chen had a look of contempt across his face, "After so many years as the master I'm afraid Hu Min has long forgotten who Zhang Ling belongs to."
"...Su Ling?"
"It's Xu Boyan's mother." Ji Chen gave him a surprised look, "You don't know?"
