At the entrance of the restaurant, Lu Beicen and Wen Mengran were talking to Ah Hao and Jiang Zhongze, and were about to go in for dinner. They met Wen Qing and a young man walking out. When they saw Lu Beicen and Wen Mengran, Wen Qing's eyes lit up obviously.
, the pace also quickened a bit.
Wen Mengran greeted him with a bright smile: "Brother, third brother, are you here early? Brother, let me introduce to you, this is my colleague and best friend Lu Beicen, that is her cousin Mr. Jiang, this is
Her brother Lu Beihao. Mr. Jiang, Ah Hao, this is my brother, I don’t need to introduce him, you have all met him."
Wen Yuan and Wen Mengran have some similarities between their eyebrows. They look much more mature and steady than Wen Qing. They think they are her brothers. Lu Beicen and the three of them greeted each other. Wen Yuan smiled cordially and went there.
He took a few steps forward and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Jiang Zhongze and Ah Hao one by one.
Wen Qing greeted with a smile: "When we got together last time, I wanted to find another opportunity to invite you to sit together, but unexpectedly we met here. It just so happens that an invitation is worse than a chance encounter. Today I am hosting, and I invite you two to join us. How about lunch?”
Jiang Zhongze was dressed very casually today. He originally looked carefree and lazy. Although his face was smiling, it was a bit cold. He refused directly and said: "Thank you, Mr. Wen, for your kindness. We have already had dinner."
Now, get ready to go back to your room and take a rest. Xiaobei, please go in and eat quickly. A-Hao and I will go out and walk around by ourselves in the afternoon, so you don’t have to worry about us."
Although Wen Qing felt a little embarrassed, he knew what he was thinking. He was thinking about the girl's relatives and couldn't find a chance to get close to him. How could he let go of such an encounter? But at this time, he couldn't find a chance to get close to her.
To extend an invitation is a bit condescending.
Wen Yuan had already heard about Wen Qing's pursuit of Lu Beicen. He originally thought that Wen Mengran would come out to rescue him, but when he saw that she just remained silent, he had no choice but to come out to help his cousin out again: "That's fine.
We are going to say hello to Xiaoran's leader now, but since it is Xiaoran's friend who is here, we are the hosts and we have to entertain you well no matter what, so why don't we go shopping with you two in the afternoon."
Lu Beicen was not expecting such a scene. He was really a little tired, a little hungry, and a little irritable, so he didn't wait for Jiang Zhongze to speak again, and said very simply: "Brother Wen, don't bother, it's more comfortable for the two of them to just walk around."
.Ahao, Brother Ze, you should go and rest quickly, it’s time for us to have dinner.”
After Lu Beicen finished speaking, he pulled Wen Mengran who had been standing next to him. Wen Qing also kept winking at his sister, but Wen Mengran didn't even look at Wen Qing. He kept thinking in his mind that he would find someone in the afternoon.
It's time to talk it over with him first, so that if something happens to him, he won't be able to catch up and he will be embarrassed.
Wen Mengran came back to his senses and said quickly: "Then let's go in first, Mr. Jiang, goodbye Ah Hao!"
Wen Yuan's brows shrugged imperceptibly. His sister, who had always been well-rounded, was suddenly absent-minded, and she didn't give Wen Qing and the Lu brothers a chance to get acquainted. The meaning was self-evident.
Wen Yuan's eyes passed over Lu Beicen's face. Although this girl was indeed beautiful, she had a cold personality and was not very groomed. She had just come back from working outside, her hair was a bit messy, and she was the same as the girl Wen Qing had pursued before.
, the difference is huge, but he said that he is determined, but I am afraid that Luohua is also heartless...
Wen Yuan sighed slightly and pulled Wen Qing and Jiang Zhongze. Lu Beihao said goodbye and turned to follow Wen Mengran and Lu Beicen into the restaurant.
Lunch was a buffet lunch. Wen Mengran and Lu Beicen stayed outside for a while. The colleagues inside had already started eating. Wen Mengran was going to take her brothers to see Mr. Tang, and Lu Beicen was not willing to follow.
I went to choose food by myself, found an empty table in the corner, sat down, and breathed a sigh of relief, finally feeling a little more at ease.
Halfway through the meal, Du Chengran came over and sat directly opposite Lu Beicen: "Why are you hiding here to eat alone?"
Lu Beicen swallowed the food in his mouth and replied with a smile: "How comfortable it is to eat alone. Has Teacher Du finished eating?"
Du Chengran nodded: "We didn't go back to the room. We got off the car and came directly to eat quickly. There is no training schedule in the afternoon? How about we go to the art troupe to book the actors first?"
"Wow, no, you still have actors to choose from?" Wei Ye's voice suddenly sounded. Lu Beicen looked up and saw that he had put a hand on Xue Feng's shoulder and had already walked to his dining table.
.
"You have never seen the world, why are you making such a fuss?" Xue Feng shook off Wei Ye's paw on his shoulder with a look of disgust.
Lu Beicen smiled at them and continued to discuss with Du Chengran: "Teacher Du, do you think it would be a bit hasty to go to Starry Sky Valley tonight? But the sky was full of stars yesterday, and tonight is definitely not bad. I
The weather forecast shows that it will be cloudy the day after tomorrow. If I miss these few days, I’m afraid I won’t be able to shoot this scene until next month.”
Shooting a landscape feature requires very high weather conditions, but Du Cheng knew clearly the reason for Lu Beicen's unplanned proposal, so he looked at Lu Beicen with a playful smile: "Xiaolu, you
This is not okay. The leaders of Party A are here for a banquet tonight. I just heard that Leader Zhuo is coming. You are the well-deserved protagonist. You cannot hide from this."
Lu Beicen put down his chopsticks after hearing this, with a sad look on his face. He sighed first and said: "I am not the protagonist, I am just a worker. It is better for me to work quietly than to eat many dinners. Hey..."
Du Chengran, Wei Ye and Xue Feng who were standing aside couldn't help laughing when they saw Lu Beicen sigh twice in one sentence. Wei Ye joked: "I can't tell, Boss Lu, you seem to be a little afraid of society!"
"
Lu Beicen rubbed his face and nodded in agreement: "It doesn't seem like it, but it's social fear. Teacher Du, I think I have a very good reason for the weather. Why don't you help me tell Mr. Tang?"
"No, it's definitely not mature tonight. Actors can only be booked in the afternoon. What if they have a performance in the evening? You have to notify them in advance so that they can prepare for replacement. Besides, we need at least three cameras when we leave, and then add
You have to bring two people to set up the lighting. What do you want me to say? And I think it’s best for everyone to go and see this scene together. I also checked the weather forecast. It’s been sunny these days..." Du
It is true that Xiaohehe refused Lu Beicen's escape.
"Well, let's choose the actors in the afternoon, and then go to the hot spring to see how to shoot. I still want to shoot the hot spring with ancient trees everywhere. Although the hot spring here is newer, it is too homogeneous.
Yes, that hot spring over there has a unique charm. If we hire a few actors from the art troupe to shoot there, it would be much better than having amateurs in the painting. What do you think, Teacher Du?"
Du Chengran nodded: "I agree with this. They all have relatively good figures. With a little makeup and the green trees covering them, they should look very beautiful."
"I'm going too. When will we leave?" Xue Feng asked.
Wei Ye also went there: "Then take me with you. I'm going to study and see the world."
"What are you going to do? Today we are just going to see if there are any beauties in bikinis." Xue Feng began to squeeze Wei Ye again.
"Tch, are you allowed to go but not me? I don't care about beauties in bikinis."
"Are you not shy or do you dare not be in front of so many colleagues?"
Lu Beicen stood up helplessly, too lazy to watch their bickering: "Let's go, it's past two o'clock now. I'll go up and wash my face, and contact the leader of their art troupe by the way. Do you want to take a nap for a while?"
"No need, go and come back early. We'll meet in the lobby at three o'clock. I'll go say hello to Mr. Tang." Du Chengran also stood up.
Du Chengran agreed with Lu Beicen on a good time and went straight to the tea room where the three Wen brothers and sisters entertained Mr. Tang for tea the night before.
When Wen Yuan saw Du Chengran come in, he stood up quickly and said, "My uncle, come over here to drink tea."
Wen Mengran and Wen Qing both looked behind him, but did not see Lu Beicen following him. Wen Mengran smiled and said, "Did Xiaobei hide in the room?"
Du Chengran smiled and nodded, and then joked with Mr. Tang: "The little girl is impatient to socialize, and she doesn't want to participate in the dinner party tonight."
Mr. Tang responded with a smile: "Last time we came to Qianyang, she didn't come with us. The leader asked and said that none of our main creative staff came over. There is a process. After two years of experience, Xiao Ran will no longer be so introverted.
The two of you should spend more time together and learn from each other. Being a director is different from doing literary work. You shouldn't be too introverted, but you should also be able to calm down at all times."
When Wen Mengran saw Mr. Tang nodding at her, he quickly said: "Mr. Tang, you think too highly of me. Xiaobei is actually pretty good at dealing with people when he goes out for interviews. Look at Qu Lake and Blue Lake.
The most difficult part is that Xiaobei has quietly made a few films, which is equivalent to establishing a stable relationship, but I don't have her ability."
Mr. Tang did not dwell too much on this topic and asked Du Chengran again: "What are your arrangements for the afternoon?"
Du Chengran reported the plan he discussed with Lu Beicen to Mr. Tang. Mr. Tang looked at the time and said: "Then let's go to the room to have a rest. I won't go to choose the actors. You'll finish the selection."
Call me and I'll go to the hot spring with you."
After saying that, he looked at Wen Yuan: "Mr. Wen, thank you this time. Mr. Yang said that he would like to invite you to sit with us when we get back this time. I will definitely appreciate it when the time comes."
Wen Yuan then stood up: "Mr. Tang, you're welcome. My sister deserves the attention of all the leaders. Besides, if you can stay here, our hotel will be in full bloom."
The three Wen brothers and sisters escorted Mr. Tang and others out of the tea room. Wen Mengran said to Du Chengran, "I'll wait for you in the lobby. The battery car is on standby at any time."
The three brothers and sisters saw off the guests and went back to the teahouse to talk.
Wen Yuan cleared the tea cups on the table without saying a word. Wen Qing no longer needed to hide the disappointment in her heart, and simply asked her sister: "Xiao Ran, did Xiao Bei say something to you?"
Wen Mengran sighed and said: "Third brother, why don't you forget it. She told me something last night. I think you two are really inappropriate. You two are not from the same world. Even if you can barely get along,
Once we are together, it will be difficult for us to last long in the future."
"I didn't know that we have different personalities. We are active and quiet, introverted and extroverted. Don't we complement each other perfectly? Who said that men and women in this world have to have the same temperament to be able to get together?" Wen Qing was obviously unwilling.
Before Wen Mengran could say anything, Wen Yuan suddenly laughed: "What you want is a superficial resemblance, right? You see a girl who is pretty, and you don't want to let go until you catch her. That's Xiaoran's colleague, and she's different from your best friend."
, I see you often, and with the way you eat, I’m afraid you won’t look too ugly in the future.”
Wen Mengran was stunned and Wen Qing was angry. They both looked at their eldest brother. After a moment, the expression on Wen Mengran's face became clear: "Third brother, it's not that I won't help you. Since the eldest brother said so, then
You lied to me about those nonsense first, and then don’t tell me any more.”
"Why can't I seriously want to find a woman to settle down with? You two are just looking through the cracks in the door..." Wen Qing's face became even more angry.
"Why are you and I so angry here? You can't handle it, aren't you? I see that girl's desolate attitude. It's hard for ordinary people to find a breakthrough. What's more, you have already been stamped by others. You just
Be honest, take it seriously, find someone who can accompany you and do it seriously, that girl is really not suitable for you." Wen Yuan continued to advise.
"Who says I can't handle it? There are still women in this world that I can't handle. At worst, I won't ask you and will just follow my own routine. I still don't believe it."
Wen Qing was a bit indifferent in front of his brothers and sisters. Originally, according to his thoughts, he would send flowers every day at first, and then give gifts. But if they don't meet each other and stretch their hair for a month or two, the girl will fall into a trap.
Okay, if I add some romantic plot points, I can win.
But Wen Mengran said that this was not possible and made others feel like a burden. She asked him to take his time and she would help him create opportunities. However, after waiting and waiting, he finally found the opportunity in front of him, but she gave him a blow in the face.
Wen Mengran was afraid that Wen Qing would come up with this trick. It was so clichéd that it made people want to find a crack in the ground to sneak in. Moreover, in the current situation, if there was a public courtship drama in front of everyone, then...
This is really embarrassing. Should Xiaobei respond or not?
What's more, Jiang Zhongze and Lu Beihao came together today. Lu Beihao aside, Jiang Zhongze's attitude is now unpredictable. Who knows what will happen?
After much hesitation, Wen Mengran decided to briefly talk about Lu Beicen's growth experience: "Third brother, what I said today is not what I said."
Wen Qing glanced at his sister and nodded: "You tell me."
"It's the rumors about Xiaobei that are spread outside, which are half true and half false... Girls who have experienced things like her will usually go to two extremes, one is longing for love, or even doting love to fill the psychological gap; the other
It’s like building high walls and feeling extremely insecure inside.”
Wen Mengran glanced at Wen Qing, who was silent and in a daze, and continued: "Unfortunately, Xiaobei belongs to the latter, with intertwined self-esteem and inferiority, and a very strong self-awareness. Of course, if she didn't have such a strong
Self-awareness makes it difficult to remain excellent in such an environment. She is indeed excellent, but I didn't think so. I followed the live rehearsal this morning, and this was only a glimpse of it. I feel ashamed..."
