This is the anti-theft badge
At this moment, her pre-set alarm clock rang, and she stood up immediately and said anxiously, "It's the call from the hospital. It should be something happened to my mother. Brother Ji, I'll go and pick it up."
"You go." Ji Mian nodded slightly, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Fang Kun sighed, "Li Jia'er is really not easy..."
"Don't talk." Ji Mian raised his hand to stop him.
It's quiet outside the corridor, where is anyone talking on the phone? Li Jiaer hid in the stairwell with her mobile phone, rubbed her eyes red with force, put on two drops of eye drops, made her eyelashes half-wet, and walked back to the ward at the right time.
Fang Kun was worried about her mother. Seeing that she seemed to cry, he opened his mouth to ask, but was interrupted by Ji Mian coldly, "Jia'er, I'm a little tired and want to sleep for a while. You go back first."
Li Jiaer, who was planning to play a bitter love scene, "..." This script is wrong! She was still waiting for Ji Mian to ask why she was crying, so she could tell him that her mother was seriously ill and needed a large amount of surgery. If he offered to borrow money, he would firmly refuse, and when he changed his signature to Jiguang in a few days, he could use financial constraints as an excuse to obtain his forgiveness. Ji Mian was born in a single-parent family and was very filial to his mother, a fact known to the whole country.
Li Jiaer planned very well. This would not only turn down Tiantian Entertainment's invitation, but also wouldn't completely offend Ji Mian. It was the best of both worlds. And the so-called "sick" mother is now lying in a nursing home counting money. As long as she is given enough money, she can cooperate with her daughter to do anything, just like when she framed He Yi.
But helplessly, Ji Mian didn't play cards according to the rules of the cards, so he didn't even ask, and threw people directly? What went wrong in the middle? Li Jiaer's whole person is confused, and she doesn't even know how she left the hospital.
Fang Kun looked at Ji Mian thoughtfully, "Didn't you see that Li Jia'er was about to cry? Something must have happened to her mother."
"What does her mother's accident have to do with you and me? Am I her father or are you her father?" Ji Mian said coldly.
"It's not like you said that." Fang Kun frowned.
"I do love talents, but I don't help everyone. I'm really old, and my eyesight is not good." Ji Mian sighed sincerely.
"Why are you here again! Your vision is very good! Li Jiaer not only sings well, but also has great acting skills, and has the potential to become popular."
"Take your life as a play, and show it to others every minute and every second. Such a person's acting skills are so bad? You tell Xiaotao, don't contact Li Jiaer in the future, if she doesn't want to, you can let She resigned."
"Are you trying to draw a line with Li Jiaer? You won't be afraid of Xiao Jiashu, will you?" Fang Kun was greatly surprised.
Ji Mian ignored him, picked up the phone and dialed, "Zhou Nan, have you made a contract with Li Jiaer? Have you made it? Then leave it alone, don't rush to contact her. She has already found it. The owner, Jiguang, yes, it has been negotiated. No, I don't know, otherwise I won't introduce her to you. I don't understand what she thinks..." Having said that, Ji Mian's expression was a little strange. After a moment's pause, he said, "I'm so sorry this time for making you busy. I'll treat you to dinner another day. Okay, see you later."
After hanging up, he let out a long sigh with a tired look on his face.
Fang Kun said in astonishment, "Li Jia'er doesn't sign Tiantian Entertainment, but wants to sign Aurora? Where did you get the news? I've never heard of you!"
"I naturally have my news channel." Ji Mian waved, "Give me a notebook and a pen."
Fang Kun hurriedly pulled out the book and pen from his bag, and he couldn't stop sighing, "How could Li Jiaer sign for Aurora? Why is she so careless!"
Jiguang is famous for malicious speculation, squeezing artists, and corrupt atmosphere. There are even rumors that Jiguang's manager likes to pimp artists very much, and even tempts them to take drugs to achieve complete control. The artists who signed with Aurora all have one thing in common - they are good-looking and young. Once their appearance declines with age, they will be discarded immediately.
But at the same time, Aurora also has its own advantages. Its behind-the-scenes boss has a lot of background and holds many top-level resources in his hands. Whoever wants to become popular is a matter of minutes. If Li Jiaer was trying to raise money for her mother's treatment, it would be excusable to sign Aurora. After all, the signing fee there is very high, but it's a pity for such a little girl...
Fang Kunzheng sighed secretly, but when he heard Ji Mian sneer, he couldn't help asking, "What are you laughing at?"
"No. I thought I had bad eyesight, but I didn't expect you to be even worse." Ji Mian shook his head as he wrote, his eyes cold.
Fang Kun said unconvincingly, "I can make you a Grand Slam actor, which is enough to prove my vision. What are you writing? I can't understand it."
I saw two rows of names listed on the notebook. The first row includes Nurse, Sister Lan, Brother Chen, etc., all with a cross at the back; the second row includes Fang Kun, President Xiu, Xiao Jiashu, Li Jiaer... All of them are marked at the back. a tick. There are comments after the hooks and crosses. There are only two words, either "disgust" or "appreciation", and at the end, rewrite the six words "favorable value, bad feeling value".
What is this all about? When you take it apart, you can understand it all, but when you put it together, you will be blinded! Fang Kun was very inexplicable. He was about to ask, but he heard Ji Mian's order, "Go out slowly, don't hang up the phone, stop when I tell you to stop, and then estimate the distance between you and me. "While talking, he dialed Fang Kun's number.
Fang Kun picked up the phone and walked out helplessly, murmuring in his heart: Did he really crash his brain? This is how to do? Do you want to invite brain experts at home and abroad to take a look? While thinking wildly, he slowly walked forward along the corridor, and after walking for a distance, he listened to Ji Mian's order, "Stop, measure how far you are from me now."
"About fifteen to twenty meters."
"Okay, you can come back." Ji Mian hung up the phone, listened for a moment, and then wrote a line in the notebook - the effective distance is fifteen to twenty meters, and finally gently massaged the temple. When Fang Kun came in, he found that he was leaning on the hospital bed with a depressed expression.
"What's wrong with you? Did something happen?" Fang Kun was really flustered.
"Do you know?" Ji Mian said slowly, "I clearly remembered that I was injured the most last night, a piece of iron stuck in my heart, and the blood kept flowing. In five minutes, no, maybe only three minutes, I I'll die. But I'm still alive now, with no wounds on my body."
"You must have misremembered." Fang Kun interrupted him, "Don't think about it, this is all a sequelae of a concussion. Living is the most important thing. You should be happy now, instead of doubting your life."
"Yes, living is the most important thing." This sentence gave Ji Mian great comfort. He seemed to have figured out something, and slowly let out a breath.
---
Three days later, the two disguised themselves and were discharged from the hospital, and they received a call from Zhou Nan as soon as they got home. He seemed helpless, "Li Jiaer really turned down my contract, and is not going to participate in my play. Young people nowadays are really realistic, they only know money."
"Sorry." Ji Mianyu felt guilty.
"What do you have to apologize for, that's her own choice. Come on, I'll continue to look for candidates, and hang up first."
"Don't rush to hang up. I heard that your play is very short of investment?"
"Don't, don't, don't vote. I'll be honest with you, Chuan Chuan was filming that movie, he was just filming it for fun, he hired Jess as the art director, the actors' looks are amazing, and the color matching is amazing. The dazzling eyes make me dizzy! He asked actors to look at their faces, not their acting skills. If they looked good, they would throw them into the crew, and nothing else. I'm mentally prepared to lose money, so I can't cheat you any more." Young boyfriend Zhao Chuan, Zhou Nan really can't laugh or cry.
Knowing Zhao Chuan's unreliability and Jess' intriguing aesthetics, Ji Mian immediately dismissed the idea of investing and nodded, "Then I can only pray for you. I hope you pay less."
Zhou Nan reluctantly said, "Chuanchuan is happy, it doesn't matter if you pay or not. Li Jia'er is nothing. If you still have good candidates, continue to recommend them to me. I am extremely short of people right now!"
Ji Mian agreed, and after hanging up the phone, she couldn't help shaking her head and laughing. The smile did not stop, and another call came in, and the screen displayed the words "Li Jia'er".
"Hello, Brother Ji? I, I'm sorry, I've signed a contract with Aurora." Her voice sounded heavy and seemed to weigh a lot of thoughts.
"Really? Congrats to you. I can understand when people go high and water flows down. I'll hang up first if there's nothing else, and you can do it yourself in the future." Ji Mian hung up the phone and directly blocked the person.
Li Jiaer, who was about to perform a "forced and helpless" scene, "..." She immediately called back, but the other end was no longer connected. Sending WeChat was in vain, and then on Weibo, the system reminded her that Ji Mian had unfollowed. , and the few blog posts that she once posted praising her have also been deleted.
Soon some netizens discovered this and left messages under Weibo, asking whether Li Jiaer had offended Ji Dashen and was hated. Because Ji Mian's reputation is very good and the fan base is huge, all the blame came to Li Jiaer for a while.
Li Jiaer was sweating with anxiety. Ji Mian has become more and more low-key in recent years, and rarely publishes news on Weibo, so every news about him will jump up the hot search list. If this matter is not resolved as soon as possible, the headline of the hot search list will definitely become "Ji Mian takes off Li Jiaer", which has a great impact on her popularity. You must know that the reason why many people fancied her at the beginning was because Ji Mian had praised her many times.
Hearing this, the corners of Xiao Jiashu's straight lips trembled slightly. He doesn't lack that little share, and he doesn't want to live a lifetime without doing anything. In his view, that is not called comfort, but mediocre. He is the descendant of the Xiao family, why can't he contribute to the family
Mother Xiao was going crazy. She felt that she couldn't communicate with her husband no matter what, so she couldn't help screaming, "Don't Xiaoshu deserve 5% of the shares? Your father also gave 5% to the second room and the third room a few days ago. % of the shares, that is the share that the descendants of the Xiao family should have, and they have to be given. Why is it a special kindness to come to Xiaoshu? He is not your son, not your father's grandson? He is me and I A wild species born by others? Xiao Qijie, you can't be so biased, you can only see Dingbang in your eyes, and don't take Xiaoshu seriously at all! He studied so hard just to help you after graduation, help him Big brother. He's a good boy, you can't treat him like this!"
"Okay, what nonsense are you talking about! He's my son, of course I'll take care of him. If I don't join the Xiao family, I'm partial? He has 5% of the shares if he doesn't do anything. Who doesn't envy him? Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking, you are trying to borrow him a piece of property, you are doing it for yourself! We signed a prenuptial agreement when we got married. You said you wouldn't covet a penny from the Xiao family, don't you think? Have you forgotten? If you're not willing to tell Dad yourself, don't mess around here!"
Mother Xiao was outraged and screamed, "Xiao Qijie, you bastard! I did sign a prenuptial agreement back then, I didn't marry you for your money, it's true. But I am me, Xiaoshu is Xiaoshu , I don't want your Xiao family a cent, but Xiaoshu is your son, and he deserves what belongs to him! You can't leave him abroad and ignore everything, he is a part of this family! " The cry of woo woo came, revealing strong grief and helplessness.
Xiao Jiashu was completely expressionless, sitting on the sofa like a statue. The father was married for the second time. Before the mother, there was a wife who died of stomach cancer. The two met half a year after the death of the ex-wife. No matter how she refused to believe her innocence, she always thought that she deliberately seduced her father, and then took advantage of the power of the Xiao family. The real master of the Xiao family, Mr. Xiao, had a deep misunderstanding of his mother, and was extremely fond of the eldest grandson of his first wife, so he did his best to suppress the mother and son.
Xiao Jiashu originally thought that when he was admitted to Wharton and graduated with honors, his grandfather would change his mind, but now it seems to be wishful thinking. Mr. Xiao's temperament is very stubborn. If he likes someone, he can't wait to dig his heart out. If he hates someone, it's too much to look at him. Xiao Jiashu's half-brother Xiao Dingbang is the one who is favored, and he himself is redundant.
The quarrel upstairs came to an end, only the faint cry of the mother came; the father's temper also disappeared, and his voice became much softer, as if he was apologizing. As the eldest son of the Xiao family, he should have shouldered the heavy responsibility of establishing a portal, but he had no choice but to have limited ability, indecision and lack of courage. Today's Xiao family has the final say, and others have no right to speak. The old man didn't let Xiao Jiashu enter the Xiao family. First, he didn't like his background, and second, he was afraid of his brothers.
Xiao Dingbang's attitude towards the mother and son was not warm, he just nodded when he saw it, and he would not speak for Xiao Jiashu. So the previous question came again, why did you want to go back to China? Why would you give up your favorite major to study business administration? Is your sweat and effort just wasted? Xiao Jiashu slowly leaned his head on the back of the chair, his expression inexplicably blank.
At this moment, Xiao Dingbang came in with a briefcase, and the servant who had been lukewarm to Er Shao immediately greeted him. One helped with the bag, the other helped take off his coat, and the other took out a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet. Respectfully placed at the feet of the young master, no one knows better than them who is the real master of the Xiao family.
"Brother, you're back." Xiao Jiashu stood up immediately, and the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously. He still respects this eldest brother very much. He has the ability and courage. He has more than tripled the industry of Xiao's within a few years of taking office. No one is more suitable to be the helm of Xiao's Pharmaceutical Group than him. He is a natural leader. Xiao Jiashu never thought about competing with his eldest brother. He just wanted to make his grandfather and father proud of himself, and at the same time, he wanted to share his worries with his eldest brother. How about an old saying? Oh, by the way, call the brothers to break the gold together.
But Xiao Dingbang doesn't seem to think so. He was stunned for a while, then nodded coldly, and when he heard the cry from upstairs, he couldn't help frowning. But he didn't say anything, didn't express his brother's welcome back home, didn't care about the quarrel between his parents, turned around and went up to the second floor.
Seeing his tall and straight background disappear at the corner of the stairs, Xiao Jiashu's slightly joyful eyes dimmed. The servants standing in the corner bowed their heads one after another, but exchanged contemptuous glances between them. A mistress is a mistress, and an illegitimate child is an illegitimate child. There are still people in the Xiao family who understand, as long as Mr. Xiao and the young master don't let go, the second young master will never be able to get ahead.
Feeling the atmosphere full of oppression and exclusion, Xiao Jiashu was very sad. For a moment, he really wanted to buy a plane ticket back to the United States and never came back, but thinking about his mother upstairs, he endured it abruptly. . What should my mother do? Her relationship with her father seems to be getting worse and worse. Her father's unfounded suspicion is like a sharp knife, cutting her mother all over, and she could have lived better...
Once again, Xiao Jiashu felt sorry for his weakness, he couldn't do anything, let alone help his mother. In the frustration, Mother Xiao's eyes were red, but she had an elegant and gentle smile on her face, as if nothing had happened, "Xiaoshu, go take a shower, change a set of clothes, I'll have it later. Go to the old house to eat with your grandfather."
Even if he knew that it was his grandfather's decision not to enter the Xiao family, Xiao Jiashu couldn't resist. If he revealed the slightest bit of dissatisfaction, the grandfather would be furious, and then turn his anger on his mother, and abuse her in the harshest words in front of his uncle and aunt. He despised the actors, thinking that they were inferior things.
Xiao Jiashu was full of resistance, but still stood up obediently, "Okay, I'll go right away."
Xue Miao patted her son's head with a gentle smile, but tears flashed in her eyes. She didn't know whether it was right or wrong for her to send her son abroad, whether it was right or wrong to encourage him to change his studies in business administration, or even marry Xiao Qijie back then? But she knew she had done the right thing, and that was bringing her son into this world. He is her best gift and warmest solace.
The family of four quickly packed up and went to the old house. Mr. Xiao sat in the main seat surrounded by his descendants. He was laughing loudly. When he saw Xiao Jiashu who entered the door, his face immediately turned cold, "What are you wearing? How tattered!" He raised He picked up his cane and pointed to his grandson's pants.
Xiao Jiashu looked down at his ripped jeans with question marks all over his face. This is ACNE STUDIO's new model this year. It is trendy and cool to wear, and it looks like your legs are longer and straighter. Don't be too handsome with a white T, why is it tattered? He was about to explain a few words to his grandfather, when he heard his elder brother's calm voice behind him, "Grandpa, I have a few questions to discuss with you about the acquisition of Sunshine Pharmaceuticals."
Mr. Xiao's face immediately softened, and he raised his hand and said, "Go, go to the study to talk. Hong Ying, let the chef start cooking."
"Hey, I'll let them do it now." Hong Ying agreed with a smile. She is the wife of the second child of Xiao. She is from a noble family, and she is shrewd and capable. She is highly valued by the old man. She takes care of almost all the affairs of the family. It's a pity that the sons she gave birth to are not up to the mark, and their ability is not as good as Xiao Dingbang, otherwise it is uncertain who is at the helm of the Xiao family. She was very jealous of Xiao Dingbang, but she couldn't provoke him, so she had to take out Xiao Jiashu's mother and son, always speaking with thorns, and poking at the most painful places.
Xiao Jiashu didn't like the two uncles and aunts very much, but if he didn't come to the old house, he would be reprimanded by his grandfather for being unruly, not understanding filial piety, being an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf, etc., so he had to come. The Xiao family is a huge cage to him and to his mother...
Some people may need the comfort of relatives, lovers and friends when they are in difficulty, which can make them full of motivation, but Lin Leyang is just the opposite. The more embarrassing the moment, the more he wants to face it alone, because only in this way will Make yourself look more embarrassed.
He apologized to Shi Tingheng again, and then chatted without words, for fear that Ji Mian would really come over to comfort him. Ji Mian had already stepped out and slowly retracted her steps, her expression a little helpless. At this moment, Xiao Jiashu squeezed beside him, stood on tiptoe to look at the shooting venue, and asked quietly, "What happened just now, who ate NG?"
After staying on the set for a week in a row, Xiao Jiashu found that he was still not interested in acting, but he liked to watch the scenes of others eating NG. The actors have various reasons for eating NG. The expressions after NG are varied, while the director's abuse is endless and aggressive, forming an extremely vivid and interesting picture, making him never get tired of watching it. He was also thinking about whether to take these scenes and make them into videos, and keep them for later enjoyment.
Seeing that Ji Mian ignored him, he said to himself, "It must be Lin Leyang. Like me, he is not a professional, and he has no background."
Ji Mian still didn't answer, but just frowned at the opposite side.
The third shot started. As soon as the scene was finished, Lin Leyang and Shi Tingheng, who were ready, grabbed each other's collars and hid in the stairwell. This time the position was very successful, both of them entered the shooting range of the camera, and their expressions and movements were in place. Lin Leyang ripped off Shi Tingheng's mask and said the line "It really is you". Shi Tingheng opened his mouth slightly, as if he was about to speak, but he stopped immediately and pushed Lin Leyang into a darker corner, only because there were messy footsteps outside, It's the global police who are looking for criminals in this building.
