A mobile phone rang, and Kate made a quiet gesture and connected the phone.
"Hello... Yes... I have read the interview script sent by the TV station. There are a few questions in it that need to be revised. Let the host replace them with other questions... I can only mention one emotional question, which is what is the ideal type..."
When Shen Jize heard this, he suddenly gestured to Kate, and Kate quickly covered the phone.
Shen Jize raised his eyebrows slightly, and said: "One of the questions asked me if I have ever encountered anything scary. Let this question be canceled too, and don't ask. If you tell the real answer, saying that I have never been afraid, it will appear Not very grounded."
Kate froze for a moment, but truthfully conveyed the words to the other party.
"That's it. You have a good rest. You have a schedule tomorrow." Kate put on her small satchel and was about to go out in her high heels.
Gao Kai and Xiao Chu went out, Shen Jize pointed to the cardboard box on the table and said, "Get this out, take it away."
"That's right, it's still going to be handed over to the police as evidence." Gao Kai quickly picked up the cardboard box.
After Kate went out, she turned her head and warned: "If someone knocks on the door at night, you have to look carefully before opening the door."
Shen Jize smiled indifferently, his handsome face made people's heart beat: "It's okay, I'll pay attention, and I'm not afraid when it really comes, after all..."
He finally swallowed the words that he had trained in the military three times and participated in the Boy Scouts.
"Anyway, you have to be careful and call me if you need something." Kate told me and closed the door.
The room fell silent, only Shen Jize was left, and he immediately acted quickly.
He pulled out a baseball bat, held it with both hands and leaned against the door, and made a gesture of knocking on the door. Adjust the angle repeatedly until you are satisfied before placing the bat in the gate.
I went to check a few more windows, the door of the empty room was locked, and the window of the floor-to-ceiling balcony was locked. Finally, I went to the kitchen to get a fruit knife and put it under the sofa cushion.
Turn on the projection TV, change the channel casually, and listen to the laughter of the entertainment program, take out the mobile phone and start searching: how to fight back after being illegally invaded, how many years will be sentenced for illegal intrusion and self-defense homicide.
After Shen Jize wrote down the useful information, he lay back on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest. After a while, I started to idly check Weibo again.
He flipped through it casually for a while, and just about to exit, he accidentally clicked on a new trending search, which contained a video.
The light in the video was not very good. It was at night. A group of people were standing by the woods, surrounded by a young man in light blue clothes talking about something.
Shen Jize was not very interested in these and was about to turn off his phone.
But at this moment, the boy in the picture turned around and happened to be facing the phone camera, revealing a relatively clear face.
There were a pair of big moist eyes on that face, a pointed chin, fair skin, and the corners of the mouth were slightly turned down, looking both aggrieved and angry.
Shen Jize's hand that was about to point out stopped, staring at the boy inside in a daze, and pressed replay after the video was finished.
After a long time, he chuckled lightly at himself, shook his head, turned off his phone and went to take a shower.
After taking two steps, he stopped again, turned around and picked up the phone, found the video again, and pressed pause when it played to the front of the boy.
He touched the phone screen with his fingers, narrowed his eyes slightly, and walked to the bathroom after a while.
After taking a brief shower, when he came out wearing a bathrobe, the two mobile phones placed on the coffee table were vibrating and buzzing.
He looked at the number of the caller, and while wiping his wet hair with a towel, he picked up one of them and connected.
"Hello, Director Wang... I have time at noon the day after tomorrow... I don't have a good appetite, I want to eat something light... Shifangzhai's matsutake chicken soup is not bad... Okay, see you soon."
Hang up the phone, pick up another one and press answer.
"Let it go... I tell you to fart... just eat something... my mouth is too light, I want to eat hot pot, fish head hot pot..."
When Shen Jize answered the call, his tone obviously relaxed a lot. He lazily walked to the sofa and sat down, his legs were wide open, and all the scenery was exposed outside the bathrobe.
"Yonger, I won't come out to eat now. I'm not Shen Jize, but An. There may be 10,000 paparazzi ambushing around my house. Otherwise, there will be reports tomorrow, and the popular movie star returning to China will eat rotten pickled vegetables and tofu in the middle of the night. Fish head hot pot, and two bowls of sour bean juice."
"... You don't understand, that doesn't match my personality."
What did Xiao Yong say on the other end, Shen Jize repeatedly refused: "No, no, it's not convenient for me to come out today."
With a smile in his eyes, his eyes fell on another mobile phone whose screen was not yet blacked out. Looking at the Weibo interface, I don't know what I thought of, and I slowly suppressed my smile, revealing a deep thought.
He stood up, walked to the window, looked out for a while, and said, "Forget it, just go, you are waiting for me in Mao'er Hutong, the same shop as before."
half an hour later.
Shen Jize sat in a simple box, with sunglasses, a mask and a baseball cap beside him. Even though he was just sitting so idly, he looked extraordinarily casual and unrestrained.
He glanced at Xiao Yong who had been staring at him, and asked, "Why? Are you also fascinated by my prosperous beauty?"
Xiao Yong came back to his senses and cleared his throat: "No, Ze'er, it's human nature to love beauty. But when you came here with your outfit, didn't the paparazzi notice you?"
After all, whoever wears sunglasses and a baseball cap at night will attract the attention of the paparazzi.
"I'm going through the back door." Shen Jize tapped lightly on the armrest of the chair with his fingers.
Now he not only has to guard against the paparazzi, but also guards against the suspected 'perverted fan', so he has to be extra careful when he comes out.
Fortunately, there were no paparazzi or perverted fans, only a dog-walking uncle staring at him.
He suspected that he was recognized by the old man, and was about to say that I am not. When you recognized the wrong person, the old man held on to the dog leash vigilantly: "Young man, there are cameras everywhere in our area. Don't even try to get away with something bad, no matter how well you disguise it."
When the hot pot with rotten pickled vegetables, tofu and fish head was served, Xiao Yong leaned close to his nose and took a deep sniff: "Smelly, ah... authentic. Do you want to add coriander to the seasoning bowl?"
"Yes." Shen Jize sat up straight, rolled up the cuff buttons of his shirt, as if he was about to have a big fight.
"What about folded ears?"
"Come and get the broken pieces."
"Authentic, I ate it locally when I was on a business trip, and I had to add ear root."
Xiao Yong pushed open the door of the box and shouted loudly to the outside: "Waiter!"
A voice sounded from a distance: "Yes."
Xiao Yong roared: "Chopped Zheer root and coriander, as well as a bottle of beer and a bottle of soy milk."
The fish head hot pot was simmering, and the indescribable taste filled the whole room.
The waiter girl who just came to the store and hadn't worked for a few days, with a pale face, brought in coriander and Zhe Ergen, and put beer and soy milk on the table.
She didn't bother to look closely at the appearance of the guests, she threw the bottle opener on the table like throwing a gun, quickly put down the bowl, and then exited the room, closing the box door to take a big breath.
Xiao Yong opened the soy milk first, put it in front of Shen Jize, then opened the beer, and took a sip himself.
The air conditioner was blowing out cold air continuously, but it couldn't suppress the heat in the box, and both of them were sweating profusely from eating.
Especially Shen Jize, who hasn't spoken since the fish head hot pot was brought to the table, but his mouth is not idle, and the chopsticks keep sending them in.
After the first wave of grabbing food was over, the two calmed down and started chatting while eating.
"I booked movie tickets a long time ago, and gave tickets to all my relatives, colleagues, friends and partners." Xiao Yong picked up a wet tissue and wiped his mouth.
Shen Jize put down his chopsticks, picked up the soy milk and took a sip: "No, I don't think you can understand."
"Is it insulting?" Xiao Yong narrowed his eyes: "Although I am not an artist, but I run a decoration company, so I have something to do with art. Why can't I even understand movies?"
Shen Jize sneered and said, "Don't talk about you, I don't even understand."
Xiao Yong didn't understand the meaning of these words, and asked, "You can't even understand it, so how did you take it?"
Shen Jize twitched the corner of his mouth: "Probably just understand the meaning."
Xiao Yong: "..."
"Then won't the director tell you about the play, analyze the plot and so on?" Xiao Yong asked.
Shen Jize turned his head and thought for a while: "Do you remember that Teacher Xu gave me lectures before?"
Xiao Yong suddenly realized: "Understood."
Anyway, if you don't understand, you just need to nod your head in thought, and then act like you've been enlightened. Shen Jize is the best at this.
"I just need to understand what happened to my character, and what kind of emotions I should use to express it. There is no need to understand what his movie is about." Shen Jize picked up a tissue to wipe the corners of his mouth, and his movements were elegant.
Looking at the hot pot, Xiao Yong sighed, "I'm going to record your words and sell them to the paparazzi. I think I can make a lot of money."
Shen Jize didn't answer the call, he just took out his phone and rummaged through it, and then handed it to Xiao Yong: "I still have the photo of you getting drunk last time, stripping yourself naked and going out naked, and you can post it on Weibo at any time. "
Xiao Yong yelled, and was about to grab the hot pot. Shen Jize quickly took back the phone and put it in his trouser pocket.
The two chatted for a while about their childhood, Xiao Yong drank two bottles of beer, and Shen Jize also finished two bottles of soy milk.
"Yonger, I want to ask you to do me a favor." Shen Jize put down his chopsticks and said.
"What's the matter?" Xiao Yong saw that he was serious and didn't seem to be joking, so he also put down his chopsticks.
Shen Jize asked: "Do you still remember the phone call I asked you to make?"
Xiao Yong nodded: "I remember, that phone number was always disconnected, and finally became an empty number."
Shen Jize clasped his hands and put them on the table. After a moment of silence, he took out his mobile phone, slid on it for a while, handed it to Xiao Yong, and said, "You try to help me find this person. It's inconvenient for me to come forward. I don’t want to entrust it to other people in the company. You can ask others to investigate or whatever, and I will reimburse the expenses.”
Xiao Yong took the phone and looked at it: "Who is this?"
Shen Jize raised his eyelids and glanced at him.
When Xiao Yong contacted him just now, he suddenly realized: "Is this your wild brother?"
He frowned and watched the entire video: "How old were you when you were separated? Children will change when they grow up. Are you sure this is your baby? I have a cousin who looked like a doll when he was young." , now that appearance, tsk tsk tsk, full of flesh and bald forehead, it's hard to see."
Shen Jize leaned back in his chair, turned his head to look out the window, and the neon lights in the distance flickered in his eyes.
"I know it shouldn't be him, but according to my imagination, he should look like this when he grows up, with the same eyebrows and eyes..." he murmured.
I didn't say a word, but the expression of the big boy in the video was as vivid as the kid in my memory.
Xiao Yong didn't ask any more questions, put down his phone, and drank half a glass of beer on the table in one gulp: "Okay, brother, I'll help you check."
Seeing that the hot pot was almost eaten and it was getting late, the two got up and left. Xiao Yong went to the counter to check out, Shen Jize walked out of the restaurant early and stood in the alley waiting.
The summer night wind blew by, and the sound of children playing, took away a bit of the dryness in my heart.
At the entrance of the alley, a boy was running in the alley with a ball in his arms, and the younger boy chased after him, calling his brother to wait, in a very anxious voice.
The boy in front stopped and urged him to move faster, and the younger one rushed straight up. The boy threw the ball and hugged him, and said angrily, "Run slower, or you may fall."
The two boys picked up the ball and walked out hand in hand, laughing as they walked. With his hands in his trouser pockets, Shen Jize kept staring at their backs.
Xiao Yong walked out of the restaurant, wiped the sweat from his forehead with a napkin, followed his gaze to the alley entrance, and asked strangely, "What are you looking at here?"
"I didn't see anything, let's go." Shen Jize withdrew his gaze and said calmly.
.
Lu Rong got up early in the morning and went out to find a job according to his plan. After she stabilized, she looked for an opportunity to get close to Shen Jize. Go back to the place where I lived when I was a child, and look for Wang Tu's trace.
The hotel can't stay long, so he plans to find a job and settle down first. After all, he only studied in an ordinary university, and he can easily find a job in the county, but it is not so easy in the capital. So I can only do small work first to solve the urgent need, and then slowly find the right one.
Experienced brothers have said in the town middle school group that the employees in that kind of snack street can't work for long, and there are often shops that are recruiting people. Sure enough, when he arrived at the snack street, he was quickly recruited as a waiter by a small coffee shop, and he was allowed to live in the attic of the shop.
After moving the luggage to the attic of the coffee shop, Lu Rong started to work as a waiter. After three days of busy work, he finally had time to rest and was ready to go out to find someone.
He had already joined the An fan group in a daze before, and learned about Shen Jize's company address from it. After secretly observing for a few days, I knew that a fan was going to give gifts at the door of the company today, so I prepared to follow.
I just had a hard time choosing a gift.
He couldn't afford expensive gifts, and he didn't know what was suitable for cheap ones. Seeing that the people in the group were saying that they had arrived at the company's entrance, he simply used the plastic strips used to bind the boxes in the store to weave a chubby stool.
He carefully packed the stool into an empty cardboard box, tied it up, put it in a backpack, and went out.
.
Gao Kai, Shen Jize's assistant, hurried out of the gate of Xingyao Film and Television Culture Co., Ltd.
There was a group of young girls standing across the street, sitting or standing staring at the company's gate, most of them were An's fans.
When the Mercedes-Benz specially assigned to An stopped at the gate, the little girls became agitated and shouted An's name loudly. It wasn't until Gao Kai got into the car alone that he became quiet again.
Gao Kai was going to the bank to do some business, so he temporarily used the disembarked car. After the car drove out slowly, he glanced at the group of fans on the street, and accidentally discovered that there was actually a boy inside.
The boy looked young, he was holding a simple little cardboard box, he was very pretty, and he was extremely eye-catching in the crowd.
Gao Kai shook his head and looked back, with a smile on his face, he thought to himself that the face that kills all men, women and children is indeed upside down.
Lu Rong stood among a group of little girls holding dolls, nervously expecting and shyly waiting for Shen Jize to appear.
Whenever a car parked in front of the company, the little girls would feel agitated, but he lowered his head and only glanced secretly.
But the people who came and went in the car were not Shen Jize.
After a car appeared, the little girls started screaming: "That's An's car, look at the license plate, that's An."
Lu Rong's heart beat wildly, and he almost stopped breathing. In order to calm himself down, he had to squeeze his palm tightly.
He didn't sleep well last night, and he has been building himself mentally. As long as they saw Shen Jize's people, no matter what the occasion, they would rush up and shout brother.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to find him next time.
He stared at the gate closely, his legs were trembling with excitement, but only a stranger came out there, got in the car and left in a hurry.
The little girls around were all moaning, and Lu Rong was also very disappointed, and lowered his head to caress the paper box containing the stool deer. But after waiting for a while, a staff member came out of the gate and walked straight to them.
"Are you here to visit An?" the staff member asked.
The little girls chirped: "Yes, we are here to see An."
"An flew out of town today, you go home quickly, don't wait here."
The little girls asked disappointedly: "Then can I pass my gift to An?"
The staff member was very straightforward: "Okay, leave it to me."
The staff took all the presents, hugged a lot, and finally asked: "Is there any more? If not, I will take them away."
Lu Rong looked at the small box in his hand, finally stepped forward and carefully placed the box on top.
"Then you go, go home, don't be here anymore." The staff turned their heads and ordered as they walked back.
"Okay, okay, let's go, please tell An that we all love him."
The staff nodded: "Okay, okay."
"These gifts must be handed over to An." The little girls said again.
"sure."
Lu Rong stared at the crumbling little paper box on the top, clenched his fists secretly, and screamed in his heart: Come on, stool deer, you must be recognized by your brother.
After parting from the group of little girls, on the way to the bus station, a plane roared overhead. He squinted his eyes and looked up, thinking wistfully: Will my brother be on this plane
At this time, in a certain room of Xingyao Film and Television Company building, Shen Jize, who was said to have flown out of town, was sitting on the sofa, talking with the policeman opposite.
The police looked at the record book: "That is to say, you have received similar items five times. Two times were pretending to be gifts to the company, and the next three times were directly placed at your door."
"Yes, these counterfeit gifts have seriously interfered with my life, and someone is following me when I go out. I hope the police can catch that person as soon as possible." Shen Jize said politely: "Of course, I will also strengthen my own protection, and Countermeasures have been taken.”
"for example?"
"For example, I'm hiring bodyguards."
