After leaving the technical department, Liu Chong took out his mobile phone and called a friend he had recently met.
"Old Chen, come out for a drink." When he said this, Liu Chong's voice was hoarse.
Chen Qu said on the other side: "Mr. Liu, if you don't go home after get off work every day, what's the point of having a drink with me every day?"
"If you don't come, I will go by myself." Liu Chong stated.
"Coming, coming."
When you get older and don’t like going to bars or places where young people go, you will definitely choose to go to small restaurants.
Neither Chen Qu nor Liu Chong were public figures, and no one recognized them when they walked into the tavern.
A tavern is actually a small restaurant, and the theme is not drinking, but eating.
But because of this place name, many people who want to drink and drown their sorrows come here to drink, which invisibly accumulates a lot of popularity for the small restaurant.
But there are not many people in the tavern today because it is already nine o'clock.
Fortunately, this store doesn't close until 2 a.m., which gives many white-collar workers a place of solace after get off work.
When many white-collar workers get off work, it's eight, nine or even ten o'clock, and they don't have anywhere to eat a hot meal, so bistros come into their sight.
But after all, there are not many people at night. After all, the tavern is a mid-range consumption place. In a big city like Jiangbei, mid-range consumption is not a small amount of consumption. Not so many people are willing to come here.
But Liu Chong came in with Chen Qu. When they entered the tavern, they ordered two bottles of wine without thinking, and drank two sips before the food was served.
Chen Qu smiled and said: "Old monitor, you are trying to get me drunk."
The fact that Liu Chong and Chen Qu knew each other, or even became familiar with each other, had a lot to do with their previous identities. Both of them were soldiers before, but the time when Liu Chong entered the army, and Liu Chong himself was older than Chen
Qu Da, Chen Qu called Liu Chong Lao Squad Leader.
But Liu Chong usually didn't let Chen Qu call him that, because he felt he was not qualified.
Chen Qu is an anti-drug fighter at the border. He was transferred from the army and retired ten years ago. He has been in the army for more than 20 years. Regardless of the branch he serves or the length of time he has been in the army, he is not like Liu Chong who only served as a three-year-old.
Years of conscripts can be compared.
The compulsory military service lasted for three years at the beginning, but now it only lasts for two years.
But Chen Qu didn't care. Judging from the time he joined the army, Liu Chong did have three years more than Chen Qu, so there was no problem at all in calling him squad leader.
After the two of them got to know each other, and they were both lovers of wine, they often made appointments to drink together.
Chen Qu has been living in a small apartment in Jiangbei during this period. The company rented it to him some time ago, and the rent was for one year.
Seeing that there was still time and the money would not be refunded if he canceled the lease, Chen Qu planned to live in Jiangbei for a year with the idea of not wasting it.
He doesn't have many friends. All his friends are in the army. Even if they are no longer in the army, they have retired. He has no friends in his city. He joined the army at the age of eighteen and stayed in the army for more than 20 years. His childhood friends have long been
It can no longer be found.
After retiring from the army ten years ago, I started writing at home. My parents also passed away due to illness a few years ago. They died peacefully because they were old.
Chen Qu was used to seeing separations between life and death, so he was not too sad. His father was already over eighty at that time, so he should be happy when he passed away.
Since the death of his parents, Chen Qu has been alone, has no friends, and has never found a girlfriend. He has lived like this until now, traveling when he has nothing to do, and living alone until now.
But after following the crew for four months, Chen Qu suddenly got to know a lot of people. These people were all very interesting, so interesting that Chen Qu couldn't bear to leave Jiangbei just like that.
Because of his status as a writer and screenwriter, and most importantly, his strong figure and upright face, this man in his forties began to have a lot of love in the crew.
Later, I met Liu Chong, and when the two men who loved drinking got together, they really had a common topic. They drank every day, chatted about their former troops, and there was an atmosphere of confidants.
As a result, Chen Qu was unwilling to leave and even thought about buying a house of his own in Jiangbei.
But now Chen Qu has a lot of assets. In the third-tier city in his hometown, he may not be able to spend all the money in his life. Buying a house in Jiangbei is actually a bit tight.
It looks like it's time to make some money.
Therefore, Chen Qu started writing again, composing the second part of "Warrior" in his small apartment.
However, Chen Qu should not be short of money in the future. Unless Mahjong Mutual Entertainment goes bankrupt, Chen Qu's scripts may be wrapped up by Mahjong Mutual Entertainment in the future.
But the premise is that the box office of this movie can meet expectations. The investment in this movie is 200 million. In Liu Chong's view, it will take at least 1 billion to make the money back. This does not mean the cost is back, but the company
Get your money back.
It takes 1.5 billion to get the company on the right track, so this movie gives Liu Chong a lot of hope. If it succeeds, Liu Chong will also succeed.
But now that the movie has not been released and the editing has not been completed, Chen Qu is a little confused as to why Liu Chong has been making him drink for the past two days.
"Come to think of it, why did you bring me here to drink?" Chen Qu asked again.
Liu Chong just twisted his mouth, then filled Chen Qu's glass with wine and said, "Drink two glasses before we talk."
Chen Qu was very considerate and actually had two drinks with Liu Chong before he stopped.
The wines here are all relatively well-priced liquors, and the alcohol content is naturally not low.
The two of them would be very careful every time they drank, not to drink too much. There were too many young people in this tavern who drank without knowing how much they drank. They behaved like vomiting after drinking too much, and their demeanor was completely lost.
One of them is over fifty and the other is over forty, and they don’t want to be embarrassed.
So after two glasses of wine, Liu Chong finally decided to open his mouth.
He looked at the glass in front of him, his face full of sadness.
"When I found out that I had been betrayed, to be honest, I felt a little pain in my heart. After all, it had been so many years. However, this pain did not last long because I knew that nothing could happen to me, I could not be decadent, I could not give up, and I had no time to comfort myself.
Otherwise, my company will collapse. Therefore, I have been working and putting myself under particularly high-pressure intensity. In this way, I seem to forget about this matter. However, I found that as long as I stop
At work, this matter can’t help but pop up in my mind, and I can’t stop it.”
"What? Are you still obsessed with those people in the company who betrayed you? I think this is really nothing to think about. The moment they choose to betray you, it is destined that you will never have any intersection in this life, so why bother always
Why let yourself think so much?"
Chen Qu thought Liu Chong was still struggling with the celebrities and employees who instantly betrayed him because of the shareholders' withdrawal of capital.
However, Liu Chong just raised his bright eyes and said softly: "I'm divorced."
