After dinner together in the evening, Wen Jianing found that Jian Jun didn't know whether he was introverted or too restrained. He didn't talk much, but his behavior was still very stable.
Several people chatted while eating, Wen Tinghuan was outgoing and good at getting along with people, and quickly became familiar with Jian Jun.
I don't know if Jian Jun has any thoughts in his mind about what happened during the day. Anyway, up to now, on the surface, it seems that he has no grievances.
In another week, Wen Jianing and Jian Jun will be ready to join the group for filming.
Before that, Wen Tinghuan did seem busy all of a sudden, unable to take into account Wen Jianing's life. The company came forward to recruit him as a driver and life assistant, and he quickly responded.
Zheng Xin called him to the company that day and said to introduce him to a new assistant.
Before meeting the assistant, Zheng Xin specially called Wen Jianing to the office and said to him, "Before this, I need to inform you of one thing. Do you know the name of the new assistant?"
Wen Jianing looked at him suspiciously.
Zheng Xin said, "That person's name is Ke Xinfan. When he came to apply for the job, he already said that he is your brother."
It was difficult for Wen Jianing to completely hide the surprise in his expression. He should have been surprised. He said, "Why don't I know?"
Zheng Xin looked at him, "He said he didn't tell you and wanted to surprise you."
There were no surprises at all, just the same. Ke Xinhang's older brother knew Ke Xinhang's body secret. Wen Jianing had no news of him for so long, but he didn't expect to suddenly appear in such a way.
Zheng Xin paid attention to Wen Jianing's expression and asked, "It's not suitable? You can refuse it if it's not suitable, but I think you should want to meet him, right?"
It is certain that Ke Xinhang has a bad relationship with his brother, otherwise it would not have been that long without any contact between the two of them. However, Wen Jianing had no clue in his heart, because Ke Xinhang did not have any information about him. brother's record.
In this case, of course, it is impossible for him to directly refuse to meet with Ke Xinfan, but in the next meeting, he will be in a very passive situation.
Wen Jianing hesitated for a moment and said to Zheng Xin, "I want to say a few words to him alone."
Zheng Xin nodded, "Of course."
Zheng Xin took Wen Jianing to the lounge where Ke Xinfan was, and after opening the door for Wen Jianing to enter, he closed the door for them outside.
Wen Jianing saw the man sitting in the lounge looking up at him.
Ke Xinfan is almost thirty years old this year. The two brothers are quite different in age, and their facial features are not particularly similar. Ke Xinfan looks much tougher, and has some vicissitudes, exceeding his original age.
Wen Jianing showed a defensive attitude, because he thought that even Ke Xinhang should be defensive when he suddenly saw this long-lost brother.
Ke Xinfan looked at Wen Jianing and didn't seem to feel anything wrong. He stood up and smiled, "Xinhang, are you okay?"
Wen Jianing intends to maintain this defensive posture, try not to let the other party speak out of his mouth, and ask, "Why are you here?"
Ke Xinfan was still looking at him up and down with a complicated expression. After a while, he said, "With your physical condition, it's really not easy to get to where you are today."
Wen Jianing looked at Ke Xinfan, and wanted to see from his expression how true this sentence was, but he found that the other party's expression was very sincere, and he couldn't tell the difference at all.
Ke Xinfan said: "I have some problems with my project in other places, and I have nothing to do now. I went home to pay my respects to my parents a few days ago, and then I came over to see you. I just heard the news of your recruitment. I think you can try it."
Wen Jianing did not answer.
Ke Xinfan looked at him, sighed this time, and said, "What? Are you still angry with your brother?"
Wen Jianing knew that the two brothers really had contradictions.
Ke Xinfan said, "What I said at that time were all angry words. As for you? You are such a big man, and you are still angry with your brother for a little thing."
As for why the two brothers quarreled at that time, Wen Jianing may never know the truth.
Wen Jianing asked him, "Why did you think of becoming an assistant?"
Ke Xinfan laughed, "I'm just looking for something to do everywhere. It's better to help my brother to do it for others, right? Besides your physical condition, it's not appropriate to just find an assistant, right?"
Hearing his repeated mention of his physical condition, Wen Jianing felt a little uncomfortable. If he was really thinking of his younger brother, he would not have mentioned it easily.
Just like Lu Jinlang, except when he was making out, he would take it as a topic of flirting, and he would rarely mention it because he would take care of Wen Jianing's emotions.
Wen Jianing said, "Do you know what an assistant does?"
Ke Xinfan spread his hands, "Let's hear it."
Wen Jianing said: "Assistant is equivalent to an invited driver and nanny. To be honest, I don't think our relationship is suitable."
Ke Xinfan smiled, "Do you feel sorry for your brother?"
Wen Jianing said politely, "I'm thinking of each other for our sake."
Ke Xinfan's face turned a little cold, "What? You're a big star now? You forgot your surname, right?"
He pulled his face down, but Wen Jianing felt that it was easier to deal with. He said, "Excuse me, what's the matter with you looking for me now, eldest brother?"
Ke Xinfan leaned back, put his long legs on the table, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and said, "Brother is out of work, I want to find something to do, and you won't even help me?"
Wen Jianing said: "I think this job may not be suitable for you."
Ke Xinfan said, "Then find me a job, you think it suits me."
Wen Jianing leaned forward slightly, put his hands on the table, and said to Ke Xinfan, "Brother, give me some time to think about it."
Ke Xinfan spread out one hand, "You are free, think slowly, my brother."
After coming out of the lounge, Wen Jianing found Zheng Xin and said to him, "Let him be my driver for the time being."
Zheng Xin asked him, "Are you okay?"
Wen Jianing smiled, "I haven't seen you for a long time. I used to quarrel, and the last time I met, I was arguing."
Zheng Xin heard the words and said, "Then it's better to change people. This will affect your mood."
Wen Jianing said, "It's okay, let him do it first."
Ke Xinfan obviously wanted something from his younger brother, but he didn't express it clearly, probably testing his bottom line. He himself didn't dare to act rashly, because he was going to test Ke Xinfan's bottom line, and by the way, he came up with a proper way to deal with it, unless there was a way to ensure that Ke Xinfan would keep his mouth shut and not use his physical defects as a threat to him.
When he returned to the lounge again, Wen Jianing saw Wen Lin talking to Ke Xinfan inside. Seeing Wen Jianing coming back, Wen Lin smiled and said to him, "Is it really your brother?"
Wen Jianing smiled, "Yes."
Ke Xinfan asked Wen Lin, "What? You don't feel like it?"
Wen Lin said: "If you look at the past, it really doesn't look like it, but if you look closely, you will find that there are still similarities in the outlines of the facial features."
Ke Xinfan said, "We've never been alike since we were young."
Wen Jianing said to Ke Xinfan, "Brother, if you have nothing to do, you can go back first."
Ke Xinfan raised his eyebrows to look at him, "Why? The assistant's job is so easy? You drove me away before I got off work?"
Wen Jianing explained to him: "As an assistant, you don't need to work, and I have my own car. I only occasionally go out to socialize or attend events and I need you to drive. At other times, I can move freely."
Ke Xinfan smiled and said, "So good?"
Wen Jianing said, "Yeah, I'll call you if I have something."
Ke Xinfan stood up, "Okay, call me anytime if you need it, and make sure to be there whenever you need it."
When Ke Xinfan left, Wen Lin asked Wen Jianing, "Do you really plan to let him be your assistant? Isn't it suitable?"
Wen Jianing said to him: "It's only temporary, I will help him find a suitable job as soon as possible."
Having said that, Wen Jianing understood that what Ke Xinfan was looking for was not a job, but him. The most terrifying thing is the endless extortion and extortion, and it is impossible for Wen Jianing to really kill him. So in this situation, it's better not to provoke him.
What if Ke Xinfan could still remember his brotherhood with Ke Xinhang
After confirming that Ke Xinfan left the company, Wen Jianing went to find Wen Tinghuan and asked Wen Tinghuan to help him find someone to check the information about Ke Xinfan over the years, the more detailed the better.
Wen Tinghuan was a little strange, "Isn't that your brother? And I heard from the teacher that you planned to keep him?"
Wen Jianing didn't hide too much from Wen Tinghuan, and said, "I don't have a good relationship with him. I don't know what he has been doing outside these years. I suspect that he is here for money."
Wen Tinghuan frowned when she heard the words, and said, "I heard that you are popular, so come back and look for it?"
Wen Jianing nodded.
Wen Tinghuan slapped the table, "What nonsense are you talking to him, just drive away!"
Wen Jianing looked at her and said calmly, "He is my biological brother, no matter what, as long as he goes to the media and makes a fuss, it will be a scandal."
Wen Tinghuan said angrily, "what a troublesome guy."
Wen Jianing said, "So, I'll leave it to you, Sister Ting. It's best not to disturb too many people."
Wen Tinghuan nodded, "Don't worry about me doing things."
In fact, from the day Wen Jianing was about to debut as Ke Xinhang, he worried that Ke Xinhang's family would become a stumbling block for him in the future. As a result, after so long, Ke Xinfan still appeared in front of him so abruptly.
At night, Wen Jianing was a little irritable at home alone, thinking about Ke Xinfan over and over again.
After thinking for a long time, he called Su Shan and wanted to ask Su Shan if he had heard Ke Xinhang mention his brother before.
Su Shan thought about it for a long time on the phone, and said, "He seems to have said once that he had a bad relationship with his brother. I don't know exactly what happened. I have never met his brother."
Wen Jianing thanked him.
Apart from confirming that the Ke Xinhang brothers are not in a good relationship, there is no useful news from Su Shan. Wen Jianing sat on the sofa with his mobile phone and thought for a long time, and decided to ease the relationship with Ke Xinfan first. After all, they are brothers. If Ke Xinfan just wants some money, he can satisfy him.
The opening ceremony of "Bitter Summer" will be held the next day.
Wen Jianing got up early in the morning, he was going to the studio rented by the crew, and in the morning he was going to do makeup and styling.
He just changed his clothes and went downstairs after washing, when he heard the doorbell rang downstairs, opened the door and saw Ke Xinfan standing outside.
Ke Xinfan leaned against the door smoking a cigarette and asked him, "Why didn't you call me? Don't you want to go to the opening ceremony today?"
Wen Jianing's tone was gentle, "Because I can drive there myself, I didn't want to trouble big brother."
Ke Xinfan suddenly laughed and snorted, "To be honest, your personality has changed a lot when you come back this time. It's different to be a big star. One big brother is one big brother. I can't help but think about things when I was a child."
"How old were you?" Wen Jianing asked him, "When I chased after your ass and called my brother?"
Ke Xinfan's eyes were a little empty for a moment, probably recalling some scenes.
Wen Jianing didn't ask him how he knew his itinerary, nor how he found it, but let the door open and invited him to come in and sit.
Ke Xinfan looked at the house and said, "What a big house."
Wen Jianing smiled and said: "I still owe the house payment, come in and sit, wait for me a moment."
Ke Xinfan walked in, but did not sit down beside the sofa. He stood at the entrance of the stairs and saw a huge poster hanging at the corner of the stairs leading to the second floor. It used to be the poster of Wen Jianing, but now the person above is Ke Xinhang.
When going out, Ke Xinfan touched Wen Jianing's Mercedes-Benz, whistled, and praised, "A luxury car."
Wen Jianing said, "I'll drive."
Ke Xinfan said, "How about that, I'm your driver."
He had to drive, and Wen Jianing didn't force it. On the way, Wen Jianing asked him, "Brother, you don't really want to be my assistant, do you?"
Ke Xinfan smiled but didn't say anything.
Wen Jianing said, "Why don't you tell me frankly, eldest brother, what exactly did you plan?"
Ke Xinfan pointed at him, "Big stars, it's just different."
The strangeness between Wen Jianing and Ke Xinhang's character in the past, in Ke Xinfan's view, is caused by his current status. If he thought about Wen Jianing like this, he was relieved, better than doubting his true identity.
They are brothers, and Ke Xinfan may be somewhat soft-hearted; if they are no longer brothers, perhaps Ke Xinfan will use despicable means to deal with him without hesitation.
Wen Jianing continued: "If you really want to find a job, let me introduce you to one that is more suitable for you. The job of assistant is not suitable for you, and I have no reason to use my brother as a driver."
Ke Xinfan looked forward without squinting, and said while driving: "Oh, no hurry. Our brothers haven't seen each other for so long, why should we talk about the old times first, and think about other things slowly."
Wen Jianing held back the anxiety in his heart, smiled, and said, "That's right, as long as eldest brother likes it."
After driving to the studio, Wen Jianing got out of the car first, and Ke Xinfan drove the car to the parking place. He turned his head and watched Ke Xinfan drive the car away, clenching his fist with one hand. Ke Xinfan's sticky attitude is really torturous.
When he came back to his senses, Wen Jianing realized that Lu Jinlang was standing not far away looking at him.
He walked in the direction of Lu Jinlang, "Why are you here?"
Lu Jinlang said, "I just saw you. I'll wait for you to come over together."
Lu Jinlang accompanied Wen Jianing to the dressing room. The crew members who met along the way greeted them politely, and the entire crew also began to prepare for work in an orderly manner.
This is the first film directed by Lu Jinlang. When thinking about it, Wen Jianing couldn't help feeling excited for him.
Lu Jinlang's attention was not here, he asked Wen Jianing, "Is that driver new here?"
Wen Jianing thought of Ke Xinfan, his face gloomy, he said, "The man driving is my brother."
Lu Jinlang suddenly stopped and looked at Wen Jianing.
Wen Jianing looked at him, originally wanting to say that his brother threatened him with his physical defects, perhaps to extort money from him. But before he spoke, Wen Jianing suddenly thought, what was the point of telling Lu Jinlang these things? He still seems to be seeking Lu Jinlang's protection subconsciously, because he can't think of a suitable solution, but Lu Jinlang may have a way to help him solve it. They have obviously separated, what right do they have to use Lu Jinlang like this
Thinking of this, Wen Jianing shook his head and said nothing.
Lu Jinlang said to him, "If you have something to say, say it."
Wen Jianing hesitated for a moment, then just said, "He knows my physical condition."
That's natural, after all, he's his own big brother.
Lu Jinlang asked, "Why haven't I heard you mention it in the past? Are you in a bad relationship?"
Wen Jianing was about to speak when he suddenly saw Ke Xinfan turning the car key in his hand and walking towards them. He looked around all the way, as if the whole set was very interesting, until he walked in front of Wen Jianing and the others, looked at Lu Jinlang, and then said, "Oh, I know this, the big actor! What's up with Lu-Lu? "
Lu Jinlang stretched out a hand to him, "Hello, Lu Jinlang."
Ke Xinfan took his hand, raised his mouth and said, "I'm Ke Xinhang's brother, Ke Xinfan."
