The phone call from the buck teeth is almost a hint of "retirement". Although I feel sorry for such a person, it is not easy to force him to stay.
So, after hanging up the phone call, I still feel a little melancholy in my heart.
Although I knew early on that it would be impossible for an old guy like Baoya to be fully used by me with his own opinions, smart and cunning, but he offered to fade out of my side because of our friendship for several years. Without such a tricky, weird and cunning guy by his side, it will still be remembered.
I put down the phone, walked around behind the desk, and opened the window to let in the fresh air.
This is an office in the clubhouse... It turned out to belong to Qiao Laohu. Of course, the place has changed owners now.
Then someone knocked on the door, and I answered, "Come in."
I didn't look back, and when I heard the sound of high heels stepping on the floor behind me, I knew it must be Yang Wei.
Because traditionally, when I am working in the office, Yan Di will never bother me. She seems to be very content with the role of a traditional wife and will not come to me when I am working. It is quiet at home. And Qiao Qiao... During the day, she was probably busy messing around in the clubhouse, there was a lot of fun here.
As for Fang Nan, it seems that she has the best relationship with Yan Di, probably because Yan Di has the softest temper. During the day, Fang Nan usually stays with Yan Di.
So, only Yang Wei walked into my office.
"This is the script sent by Hollywood." Yang Wei put a finished brochure on my desk: "Jenny and Lei Xiaohu's new movie script, do you want to take a look? Two first-class Hollywood professionals It was written by a top-notch expert, and some revisions were made by experts, I have watched it, and from the perspective of a commercial film, it should be quite good."
As Yang Wei said, she glanced at me and found that my expression was a bit unnatural: "Do you have something on your mind?"
"No." I shook my head: "It's just a pity... well, that guy with buck teeth, he wants to retire."
Yang Wei didn't show any surprise, and nodded: "Well, judging from the time, it's about the same as I guessed."
"You already guessed?" I was a little surprised.
"Chen Yang, Bao Yazhou is very complicated, and you know it." Yang Wei said slowly: "He is an old man in the big circle, and his identity is not just a lawyer in the big circle in Canada... I even doubt that he may He is a pawn of the Asian big circle in Canada, a role of a liaison. So, you see, he can go through several generations of boss changes in the Canadian big circle without being injured, and his status has never changed. He and the Asian big circle He seems to be familiar with many things in the big circle in Asia, which can explain the problem. However, in hindsight, he seems to have fallen for you. But after all, he is an old man in the big circle. Now you Going all out to deal with the big circle, with the mentality of an old man like him, even if he is not your enemy, but emotionally, he can't continue to help you destroy the big circle with his own hands. So... His withdrawal now is also inevitable .”
I nodded: "I can understand what you said."
Then I waved my hand and forced a smile: "Okay! It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, let him do it. Don't talk about these unhappy things, let me read this script... Uh, those gangs in Hollywood Guy won't let Jenny do nude scenes, will he?"
Yang smiled, her eyes were very strange: "Now everyone regards her as your woman, who dares to treat her like this? Besides... have you forgotten, she is playing with Lei Xiaohu! Lei Xiaohu's current worth, even if Jenny is willing to make sex scenes, but Lei Xiaohu is still not!"
I smiled and said nothing, I knew that Yang Wei was joking, and she knew very well that Jenny and I had nothing before.
I am not a good person, and I can be regarded as a playboy. But the reason why I have always been indifferent to Jenny and treated her feelings coldly... It's not that I look down on her past, but that I don't love her.
It's that simple.
However, because of this, I also feel a little guilty about Jenny, so I am also very concerned about her development.
In front of Yang Wei, I simply flipped through the script in my hand, the script was written in both Chinese and English, it was easy to read, but when I flipped through a few pages, the expression on my face became a little weird Already...
This is a commercial action movie made with a medium investment. The overall investment is about 40 million US dollars. This investment is not considered a big production in Hollywood, at best it is below average. The outline of the story made me blush a little.
The story tells: In a certain country in Asia, a killer from North America performed a mission to assassinate an important person. After killing the target, he was also seriously injured. He was chased and killed by the local gangsters and police. A beautiful and amorous songstress who works at a local entertainment venue. The killer stayed at the female singer's house to avoid being hunted down by coercion and lure, and then hid in her house for a few days. During these few days, the two gradually developed feelings for each other. Solved some difficulties, such as debt collectors and so on... In the second half of the story, the gang and the police finally found them. The killer fled with the beautiful woman. After a fierce battle, the two killed the gang boss and escaped the police The hunt, and then leave together...
The plot of the story is very simple. Judging from the script, every scene is arranged very tightly. It is a typical commercial action film.
But what makes me feel a little weird is that this plot is almost a replica of when I met Jenny in Vietnam!
"Jenny also participated in the creation of the script. According to the information I got... Originally, the company planned to create a script for Jenny, so they invited two screenwriters. As a result, one of the screenwriters was shocked when he saw Jenny. People, we began our pursuit of our female star from the very beginning. However, after treating Jenny to a meal one time, the screenwriter went back with a dejected look on his face. A week later, he wrote this The first draft of the script, I think, many of the stories here should be dictated to him by Jenny... The script you see is based on that." Yang smiled strangely.
Although my heart was a little complicated and I was a little moved, I still didn't say much: "Well, let's make it like this. Apart from me, you are the most familiar with the affairs of the film company. I can't focus on the film company right now. Come on, you... Wei Wei, help me take care of this matter more."
Yang Wei nodded without saying anything. She thought for a while: "One more thing... Well, Jenny wants to take her sister YOYO to the United States, and wants to ask the company to help her sister study abroad."
"Why, is she worried that we won't be able to take good care of her sister?" I laughed.
"It's not that you don't worry about us, but that you don't worry about domestic education." Yang Wei shook his head: "Actually, I'm also very worried about that. I've seen your female apprentice, that girl named Xiaowu. Her information is gone, and I don't recommend that you take her back to China... To put it objectively, the domestic education system is rubbish."
Then Yang Wei said lightly: "Correct education: Examinations are to test the results of education. In China... hmph, the purpose of all education is to finally pass the exam! It's simply putting the cart before the horse. Such a system model makes the domestic education The quality is much lower than in the West, so…”
"Let's do it like this. Let the little girl and YOYO find a school in the United States together." I waved my hand, thought for a while, and suddenly smiled: "The little girl I adopted is a young genius... I think, She is very similar to you, why don't you accept her as your apprentice."
Yang smiled, and didn't say yes or no, but brought up another topic: "You...you'd better talk to Dr. Mu about YOYO's study abroad."
"wood?"
Yang Wei sighed: "You are too careless, don't you see, Dr. Mu, his concern for this girl YOYO has exceeded the normal range? According to my observation, he seems to take care of this girl YOYO very much. , It’s even like YOYO’s father! So, if you decide to send YOYO to study in the United States, you’d better talk to Dr. Mu.”
…
I found them in the squash court in the clubhouse.
Qiao Qiao is playing squash with A Ze, no need to ask, just look at Qiao Qiao's smug face and A Ze's gloomy face, you can tell who wins and who loses.
Wood, while sitting outside the squash court to wipe sweat.
I walked to his side and patted his shoulder: "Wood."
Mu Mu turned his head and smiled at me: "What's the matter?"
Seeing my startled expression, Mu Mu said lightly: "Look for us during the day, of course there is something to do, let's talk."
In fact, Mu Mu had resigned from the small clinic in Nanjing because he agreed to work as a doctor in the charity hall I opened. The nursing home and orphanage in that charity hall naturally needed a doctor, and Mu Mu was invited by me to help.
Now the person in charge of that charity hall is Xiaoxuan, and Xiaocai Fan is in charge of financial matters (she is so budget-conscious, she is considered a suitable candidate) and occasionally takes a guest role as a nurse. In terms of medical strength, it is natural that some professional medical personnel are needed. Not only was Mu Mu invited by me, but Mu Mu also agreed to find a few of his classmates who graduated from medical school, a few young doctors who didn’t like to curry favor with their bosses and didn’t get along well in the hospital. It is said that one of them was even sent to Went to the pharmacy.
I sat down, then sighed: "Why don't you fight anymore?"
Mu Mu shook his head, he hesitated a little: "There are not enough people."
Such a simple three words immediately made me feel a little guilty.
Not enough people!
In fact, when we were together in the past, we often played ball, but four people is a very delicate number, whether it is playing cards, chess, or playing ball, four people are just right!
But since I started to become a busy "little fifth brother", there are only three of the four big jackals left. Three people is an embarrassing number... One less for marijuana generals; one more for chess players. As for playing billiards or squash...the same is true, two people play, and the remaining one can only sit by and stare alone.
As for the newly recruited Amei, who filled a vacancy among the four wolves... In fact, it was just wood and they helped me! They saw what Amei meant to me, but they also saw that I didn't have this intention. In order not to embarrass everyone, they simply absorbed Amei into the category of "friends", and used friendship to kill the budding in love. In fact, Amei has been busy with the work of the charity hall recently, so she seldom shows up. It's just that Mu Mu is a doctor. In the preparation work of the charity hall, he doesn't need a doctor to be busy, so he can be so leisurely.
Anyway, I recently neglected my good friend, and I still felt a little guilty when I heard Mu Mu say that.
Seeing that I didn't speak, Mu Mu smiled: "Tell me, Xiao Wu, what's the matter?"
"I plan... to send YOYO to study in the United States. This is also Jenny's idea. She will develop in the United States now, so I hope to bring YOYO there too." I said while carefully looking at Mu Mu's expression.
Mu Mu was silent for a while, his face didn't change much, but then he nodded, and then thought for a while: "Then... so, Chen Yang, please help me arrange it, I also want to go to the United States."
"… What?!"
"Yes." Mu Mu said lightly: "The doctor in the charity hall, I found a few of my classmates, it should be enough. As for me... I want to take care of YOYO." After a pause, he slowly said: "If If it's possible, or if Jenny doesn't object, I even want to be YOYO's adoptive father."
Now I was really surprised: "Wood...you, you can't be..."
Mu Mu smiled, and he still smiled as calmly as before: "I'm not a child lover, and I don't have any thoughts about Jenny... I just want to take care of YOYO."
But this still makes me a little hard to believe... Wood, why does he care so much about YOYO
"Want to hear a story? Chen Yang? My story." Mu Mu sighed, then reached out and touched my pocket, took out a cigarette and lit it himself... I remember, Mu Mu doesn't smoke now!
