just like it

The shooting trip, which was expected to be completed in two or three days, had to be extended due to the continuous rainy days in the scenic area.

No one can think of such a force majeure factor.

Facing the continuous rain, Hu Chengjie blew out a smoke ring, frowned and said: "There is no way, we can only wait for two more days, but luckily the list accumulated in the studio is almost cleared, and we can afford it in terms of time. Forget it, give Xiaoqian a call."

Still frowning, he dialed Sun Qian's phone number, first objectively stated the fact that the scenic spot was cloudy and rainy, then complained about the delay, and then expressed aggrievedly that he would wait here for the weather to clear up, "I have to ".

"Well...I know...I'm not bothered, just wait for two more days...Yeah, I know, we'll go back after the filming...I've got all my clothes...Okay, I'll hang up first."

Putting away his phone, Hu Chengjie turned his head to look at Jiang Miao, his sad face disappeared instantly, and he grinned: "Go out with brother to take some rain scenes?"

Jiang Miao rolled her eyes at him.

This kind of phone call Hu Chengjie every day for two days, is it still interesting?

He could see that, although the rainy weather delayed the filming, it would be strange to say that Hu Chengjie was upset by it.

For Hu Chengjie, this is probably a rare excuse to let go.

Thinking about it, it has been several months since he went to a small mountain village in Hunan to take pictures last time, and I am afraid that he has already felt itchy and wanted to go out.

Although I often shoot on location, it’s work, and how can it be the same as going out to find a place to shoot whatever I want, and the freedom to shoot how I want to shoot.

However, Jiang Miao didn't want such freedom, all he wanted was to finish filming as soon as possible and come back sooner.

It's just that reality can't help him.

It's been three days since I've been here. Looking at the continuous rain, I don't know when it will clear up.

In fact, after she came out, she had more contact with Luo Yuchuan.Most of the time, it was Luo Yuchuan who took the initiative to send WeChat messages or make phone calls.

Of course Jiang Miao was happy.

Although the content of WeChat may be just a reminder that it is time to eat and rest.

The content he posted is more varied.

A wet bird was photographed on the grass in front of the temple in the scenic area.

A monk wearing a bamboo hat walking in the forest.

Or the mountains with clouds and mist under the dark gray sky.

Just answering the phone is a bit frustrating.

Not for anything else, just because I live in the same room with Hu Chengjie.

In front of his face, he would pretend to be busy with other things, but actually eavesdrop with his eyes open and aboveboard.

Go out to pick it up, and when he comes back, he will come up with a mean smile and ask, "What did you talk about with your girlfriend just now?"

Jiang Miao didn't want to talk to him at all.

I don't even want to explain that I'm not a girlfriend.

Hu Chengjie pointed at him, quite dissatisfied: "Brother, you are very dishonest."

Jiang Miao laughed at him: "I'm afraid I'll scare you."

In the past few days, Jiang Miao has been dragged by Hu Chengjie to take pictures of Yujing, and everyone around the scenic spot has become familiar, so he really can't arouse his enthusiasm.

He was thinking about what gift to bring Luo Yuchuan.

The shops around the scenic area sell similar things, nothing more than tea, local products, mountain products, or some mass-produced handicrafts.

After searching for a long time, Jiang Miao finally chose a gift.

It is also a handicraft, although it is not a new thing, but he has made an agreement with the proprietress that he does not want finished products, and he learns how to make it from the proprietress himself.

When Hu Chengjie went to take pictures of the rain scene, he went to the handicraft store again.

As soon as he entered the store, the proprietress greeted him with a smile: "I thought you weren't coming."

Jiang Miao studied with her in the store for a long time yesterday, and only half of it was completed.

Jiang Miao walked to the small table that the proprietress gave him. The proprietress put away his half-finished piece, and now she took it out for him and said, "It's for you alone, so it won't get messed up."

Jiang Miao smiled and said, "Thank you sister."

The proprietress is an aunt of Ben Wu, and she laughed from ear to ear when Jiang Miao called her "sister".There was no business at all in the rainy day, so she simply sat down beside her and pointed out the movements of Jiang Miao's men while keeping her hands busy.

The things Jiang Miao chose are actually not difficult to learn, but it takes a lot of eyesight, and you need to be patient, otherwise, if you make a mistake in the middle, you will have to tear it down and start over.

The proprietress watched Jiang Miao do it for a while. Jiang Miao did it very slowly but carefully, striving to be perfect every time.

The proprietress raised her eyes to see the focused expression on Jiang Miao's face, and said with a smile, "Your girlfriend must be a lucky person."

Jiang Miao was stunned, and looked up at the proprietress, her face flushed involuntarily: "No, I..."

"Hahahaha, don't be embarrassed, who would put so much thought into giving it to your girlfriend?"

Jiang Miao opened her mouth, but finally said nothing, blushing and lowering her head to continue.

The proprietress thought that she had seen through the clues with a pair of discerning eyes, she smiled and said, "Your girlfriend will definitely like the things you made with such care."

When a customer came into the store, the proprietress hurriedly got up to greet her, and Jiang Miao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at the small gift that was almost finished in his hand, imagined Luo Yuchuan's expression when he received it, and felt even more looking forward to it, and his subordinates also speeded up.

The collection of outstanding students, Luo Yuchuan, has been re-edited according to Yuan Kuohai's opinion, and he printed another copy for Yuan Kuohai to review. This time, he also added the photos that Jiang Miao took of him on the campus of Z University, in case the old man asked about it. , and deliberately left a blank space for work photos, and waited for Jiang Miao to come back to take pictures.

However, Luo Yuchuan felt that Yuan Kuohai's enthusiasm for this student collection had faded a lot this time. Photos are added.

Luo Yuchuan responded: "I will show it to the teacher at that time."

Yuan Kuohai said: "Just adding a few photos, you don't need to make a special trip for this. After this thing is done, you have a new job. You are usually so busy, and it wastes your time."

Luo Yuchuan hurriedly said, "It's okay, it doesn't take too much time to do this."

Yuan Kuohai waved his hand, not wanting to dwell on this issue any longer: "Come and play two games with me."

After the two of them played chess, Luo Yuchuan was naturally left to have dinner again. Yuan Yingying and Jiang Hao also came, and everyone chatted while eating.

Jiang Hao stared at him: "Did you ask Jiang Miao to go to your house to fix the photos?"

Luo Yuchuan froze for a moment, then nodded.

Yuan Kuohai was also a little surprised, looked at him, and said, "This is rare."

Luo Yuchuan suddenly felt guilty.

The old man's words, on the surface, sounded like he was saying that he, a person who never entertained friends at home, let Jiang Miao go to his house, which is rare, but the old man knew about him. There is another explanation.

——It is really rare to have someone you are willing to take the initiative to get close to.

Luo Yuchuan didn't want to hide it from the old man, but in front of a table of people, he couldn't say too much, he just said: "His computer is not working, so..."

Fortunately, the subject quickly changed again.

Xie Yunfang became concerned about her in-laws: "Xiao Jiang, is your father in good health? Are you still having stomach troubles?"

Jiang Hao nodded and said: "Okay. Well, it took more than half a month to make it work. My mother is determined not to let him go out this time, for fear that he will go out and eat indiscriminately."

He smiled, and said: "The old man was still writing poetry at home yesterday, saying that he is now a bird in a cage and has no freedom, and wants my mother to give him back the vast world."

"Haha," Yuan Kuohai couldn't help laughing when he heard the embarrassing things about his in-laws, "Then he's going to be suffocated, you ask him to come to my place and play chess with me, so that he doesn't want to go out with those old guys from the Photography Association run."

Jiang Hao said: "My mother won't stop him if he wants to go out to take pictures and play. It's just this time that made my mother angry. Those people from the Senior Photography Association went out to save money and eat whatever they want. , I don’t pick any roadside stalls or small restaurants.”

Xie Yunfang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Your father and the others are at least retired as department-level cadres. What are you doing saving this money?"

As she spoke, she put a chicken leg into Luo Yuchuan's bowl, and said, "Xiaochuan, don't learn from them. You are alone and have no one to take care of you. You should be more careful about these things, you know?"

Luo Yuchuan nodded hurriedly: "I know, Master."

Xie Yunfang turned to look at Jiang Hao again: "Your mother is right, but your father is too free, so you have to take care of it."

Yuan Yingying said with a smile: "Mom, can you take care of my dad? We are an old husband and wife, and we are not educating children."

Jiang Hao nodded: "My mother just wants him to teach him a lesson, and that's enough. Isn't my dad's birthday going to be in a while? My mother also quietly gave me money to show me the set of shots my dad liked. Bought it for him as a birthday gift."

Xie Yunfang said: "Yo, now that I've said that, I also remembered, my in-law's birthday is coming soon, Lao Yuan, we have to give something too, right?"

So the family of four discussed what gift to give, Luo Yuchuan silently picked up the meal, looked at Jiang Hao a few times, thoughtful.

After the meal, Yuan Kuohai took Luo Yuchuan and Jiang Hao to drink tea with him. After making two courses of tea, Luo Yuchuan asked Jiang Hao which camera was better, as if casually.

Jiang Hao looked at him, shook his head and said, "Your question is too broad to answer."

"how?"

"Whether the camera is good or not depends on who uses it and how to use it. Do you want to take pictures casually, or do you want to learn from it?" He took a sip of tea and glanced at Luo Yuchuan's face again. Taking a glance, with a little expectation, "Are you also interested in photography?"

Luo Yuchuan was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly denied: "No, it's not me."

"Oh," Jiang Hao was a little disappointed, "If you want to take pictures casually, you can use a better mobile phone. If you want to learn, then you have to talk about it."

Luo Yuchuan said, "I...I want to give it away."

Yuan Kuohai had just closed his eyes and listened to their chat, but now he raised his eyelids to look at Luo Yuchuan: "Who are you sending it to?"

Luo Yuchuan was stunned, but before he could speak, Jiang Hao nodded again and said, "Yes, it depends on who you send, whether he understands this, whether he is just a beginner, has a certain foundation, or has reached a certain level, Then the gift is different, you have to be particular about it.”

Yuan Kuohai cast a gloomy glance at Jiang Hao.

This son-in-law is good everywhere, but sometimes he is too stunned. When it comes to things related to photography, it is even more...

Yuan Kuohai sighed silently, and closed his eyes again.

Jiang Hao was completely unaware of the father-in-law's disgust, and continued to "teach" Luo Yuchuan: "The price is quite different for different needs. How much budget do you have?"

Luo Yuchuan really hadn't thought about this question, and was taken aback by the question.

Jiang Hao waved his hand clearly: "Let's talk about the friend you want to send first, what level of photography is it?"

Luo Yuchuan hadn't seen many works by Jiang Miao, except for the one in the school celebration exhibition, the only ones that Jiang Miao showed him on his phone these days.

He didn't know how to tell the level of Jiang Miao's photography from these pictures, he thought every one was good.

But he still remembered the evaluation of Jiang Miao by the junior from the photography agency at that time.

At least, it is a level recognized by most people.

Luo Yuchuan cleared his throat and said, "It's at the level where an exhibition can be held."

Faintly proud.

Jiang Hao blinked and didn't speak for a long time.

Yuan Kuohai raised one eyelid and glanced at Luo Yuchuan, smiled slightly, closed his eyes and continued to rest.

Jiang Hao took a sip of tea slowly and said, "Then you can't just give it away."

Luo Yuchuan nodded seriously.

Jiang Hao was a little embarrassed: "It depends on your friend's preferences in this regard, such as which brand he prefers, or which lens he likes to take, and which type of photos he likes to take... Forget it, I can't finish talking about it. , let me make a list for you."

Luo Yuchuan immediately got up and took his bag, took out a pen and paper and handed it to Jiang Hao: "Thank you senior."

Jiang Hao took it over and was about to write, when he looked up at Luo Yuchuan: "I want to remind you, once you reach your friend's level, the equipment you're looking for isn't cheap."

Luo Yuchuan looked back calmly: "It's okay."

Holding the list given by Jiang Hao, Luo Yuchuan went home and opened the shopping website on the computer to study one by one.

If you don't touch these things, you really don't know that there are so many ways in it.

What are the effective pixels, what format, anti-shake or not, continuous shooting speed, what balance sensitivity...

Luo Yuchuan's eyes were blurred, but he was still confused. He pinched his brows, not without feeling depressed.

I also know that it is useless to be depressed, and if you don't understand, you don't understand.

What's more, looking at the price range again, thousands of dollars are naturally not considered, but 10,000+...

Even if he can afford it, will Jiang Miao accept it?

It's really a headache.

The phone vibrated a few times, and Luo Yuchuan took it over to see that it was a WeChat message from Jiang Miao.

- It will be sunny tomorrow!

- The weather forecast said consecutive sunny days!

-I will start work tomorrow, and I can return the day after tomorrow!

Followed by a series of grinning emoji.

Luo Yuchuan couldn't help but feel happy watching it.

He replied: "Come back and tell me the time, I will pick you up."

The next day, Luo Yuchuan received a call from Qiao Ruige, asking him to go to Song Zhe's bar for a drink at night.

It was full of calculations, from the time Qiao Mingshan was admitted to the hospital to the present, in less than a week, Qiao Ruige unexpectedly came out again.

Luo Yuchuan reminded him: "Are you not afraid of being called a small report?"

Qiao Ruige laughed loudly: "The old man eats and sleeps well every day, I'm annoying because I pester him in front of him every day."

After get off work, Luo Yuchuan drove home first, ate something casually, and then took a taxi to "Ye Shi".

Qiao Ruige was not late, and had already had a drink with Song Zhe in the office.

Seeing Luo Yuchuan coming, Song Zhe poured wine for him, and the three of them had a small drink first.

After drinking, Song Zhe handed over the cigarette again, but Luo Yuchuan blocked it: "Quit."

Song Zhe was taken aback: "Why did you quit?"

Qiao Ruige laughed: "Song Zhe said that you brought that Jiang Miao to ask for someone. I still think that I don't think too much. It seems that I don't think too much, but I think too little. Lao Luo, you are coming this time." Really."

Luo Yuchuan said "Mm" in a calm manner.

Song Zhe didn't understand, so he turned his head to look at Qiao Ruige: "I said, what kind of riddle are you two playing?"

Qiao Ruige ignored him, and said to Luo Yuchuan, "It's just that, I have something here that you might be interested in."

Luo Yuchuan also looked at him: "What?"

Qiao Ruige shook his wine glass, took a sip slowly, and then said, "Have you heard of 'Anyuan International Trade'?"

Luo Yuchuan shook his head, he didn't pay much attention to these things, but Song Zhe seemed to think of something, and glanced at him.

Qiao Ruige nodded, and then said: "The scale of this company is not very big. It mainly deals with distribution and logistics. It used to be 'Anyuan Department Store', a small and inconspicuous company. About 30 years ago, the boss of Anyuan I chose a good son-in-law for my only daughter, and this son-in-law has lived up to his old man's expectations, and brought this small company step by step into the current situation."

Luo Yuchuan listened quietly, he didn't know what this had to do with him, he just listened to a story.

"If you say this little boss is young and promising, unfortunately, the boss' daughter can't bear children, and the little boss was busy with his career at the beginning and didn't think about it. When he was over 30, his family members urged him again. Anxious also began to worry."

Song Zhe chuckled: "It's not easy, anyway, if you have money, you can just find someone outside, right?"

Qiao Ruige also laughed: "It's easy to say, but that lady is jealous, she can't even use a woman as a secretary, let alone find a lover to steal a life. But, no matter how strict the defense is, how can there be no loopholes? When this little boss was 35 years old, the lover he secretly raised outside really gave birth to him a son."

"Ha, why don't we make trouble?" Song Zhe said.

Luo Yuchuan looked at the two of them, feeling like listening to a cross talk, one teasing the other.

"There will be trouble, but the retired former boss finally came forward to persuade him. He knew that the only daughter had no children, and his health was not good. When he was gone in the future, his daughter would not have a son and a half to rely on. This If the son-in-law is going to turn the world upside down, there is no way out. So he persuaded his daughter to bear with it, recognize this son, and give the lover a sum of money."

Song Zhe gave a thumbs up: "Ginger is still old and spicy."

"Is that why you don't want the son you gave birth to?" Luo Yuchuan asked coldly.

Qiao Ruige sneered: "What's the matter, don't say she got a sum of money, there are too many people who don't want to throw in the toilet when they are born."

Luo Yuchuan took a sip of his wine with a cold face and didn't ask any more questions.

Song Zhe urged, "What happened next?"

Qiao Ruige said: "Later, Madam took the illegitimate child home to raise him for a few years, and I don't know if there was something wrong with this venting. Madam was diagnosed with cancer, and she left after a short delay. At that time The former boss is long gone, and the little boss has turned around. In less than two years, he turned a lover into a full-time employee. Of course, this lover also gave birth to him a son before he was eligible to become a full-time employee."

Song Zhe laughed: "Oh, this should be a routine of grievances between rich and powerful families."

Qiao Ruige smiled and shook his head: "There is no way, even such a routine story, I can't make up new tricks for it."

He listened to the indifferent Luo Yuchuan and moved closer, with a smirk on the corner of his mouth: "Old Luo, do you find it boring?"

Luo Yuchuan glanced at him, but didn't respond.

Qiao Ruige said with a smirk, "The boss's surname is Jiang, and his name is Jiang Zhe'an. His two sons, the youngest is Jiang Yan, and the eldest is Jiang Miao. What do you think, is it a coincidence?"
