Niu Xiaobai secretly smiled bitterly, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay...I know, it's two meals, right?" If it were normal, Niu Xiaobai would treat Dong Xiaoya like this "
"Extortion" would definitely protest loudly, but tonight he did not dare because he felt a little guilty.
Niu Xiaobai originally thought that this answer would satisfy Dong Xiaoya, but she didn't expect that she still shook her head: "I have changed my mind. I don't want to have a big dinner. Why don't you invite me to a movie tonight?"
"
"Watching a movie? Xiaoya, are you right? In this era of highly developed information networks, you can watch any movie on your mobile phone or computer by paying a few yuan membership fee. Who would go there?
Watching a movie in a cinema? Do you want to think about it again? The seafood in that hotel is really delicious!”
"Xiaobai, where did you get all this nonsense? I've had enough of you in school. If the teacher hadn't told you not to litter, I would have thrown you out of the classroom."
"Xiaoya, how can you treat the only top student in our class like this?"
"A top student? Haha, yes! You used to be a top student, but one day you wanted to see the world of underachievers, but you couldn't find your way back."
"What do you know? I wanted to be a blockbuster every time I took the exam, but when the test papers were handed out, I decided to hide my strength..."
"Niu Xiaobai, don't interrupt me again. I'd like to give my sister a happy message: Are you going or not?"
"Oh, I'll go! I'll go, can't you? Really, you've driven me to the point of desperation!"
"If you're desperate, why should you go? Just take a taxi. Look, an empty taxi is here..."
…
The two of them came to the ticket office of the cinema. Dong Xiaoya looked at the program list on the advertising screen and suggested: ""The Ballad of Clouds and Waters"? Watch this nostalgic film? I heard it's pretty good."
"Okay, it's up to you." Niu Xiaobai had no interest in watching movies to begin with, so he just let Dong Xiaoya choose. He handed two hundred-dollar bills to the waiter: "Here are two copies of "The Ballad of Clouds and Waters."
Coke, a big popcorn."
The waiter had a professional smile on his face. After taking the money, he said very politely: "Okay, sir. "Yun Shui Yao" will be played in the small screening room No. 7 at 21:15. For an additional fee of 10 yuan, you can exchange it for a couple seat.
, and a box of napkins as a gift. Sir, do you need it?"
Looking at the meaningful look in the waiter's eyes, Niu Xiaobai felt a little confused: "Napkins? Why do you need to use napkins when watching a movie?"
…
This small screening room is estimated to be only about 50 square meters. The first few rows are seats for couples. There are not many people watching the movie in it at this time. When the movie officially opens, there are only about ten people, and they are basically dependent on each other.
Couples cuddling together.
Seeing these pairs of people, Niu Xiaobai felt a little embarrassed. He secretly glanced at Dong Xiaoya sitting next to him: she looked as if nothing had happened, staring at the screen intently.
admiring it.
"The Ballad of Clouds and Waters" tells a steadfast love story that spans both sides of the Taiwan Strait and lasts until death against the background of turbulent times of 60 years.
In Baodao Province in the 1840s, Wang Biyun, the daughter of the Wang family, ran away from her marriage in the church and coincidentally got into a rickshaw driven by Chen Qiu Shui. At this time, Chen Qiu Shui was a poor medical student who relied on work-study to make a living. An unexpected encounter
, the two went from secretly falling in love with each other to being in love with each other, and soon fell into
Love River. After Wang Biyun's introduction, young Chen Qiushui began to work as a tutor for her younger brother Wang Yumeng.
Chen Qiu Shui is clear and elegant, and has a very happy learning method, which greatly improves Wang Yumeng's grades. Therefore, Chen Qiu Shui is unanimously recognized by the Wang family. Chen Qiu Shui and Wang Biyun secretly date each other and sing together every day.
, learn English, and live a simple and happy life.
The turning point of the plot comes from the political movement of the authorities. Chen Qiushui is a left-winger. In order to avoid the persecution of the authorities, he had to come to the mainland from Baodao Province. Although the separation seemed to be short-lived, Chen Qiushui still made a private arrangement with Wang Biyun before leaving.
They stayed together for the rest of their lives and vowed to remain faithful to each other. But in fact, the separation was very long. Later, Chen Qiushui even lost contact with Baodao Province. The long wait and endless longing deeply tortured them. From then on, the two lovers fell in love.
People are separated on both sides of the strait, and they can only stick to each other's vows and miss each other.
Wang Jindi, a nurse in the army, has always been very fond of Chen Qiu Shui, and confessed her love and took the initiative to pursue her. After the war, Wang Jindi followed Chen Qiu Shui and was transferred to Tibet. She has always taken good care of him and regarded him as more important than her own life.
After Chen Qiushui searched for Wang Biyun many times without success, he finally decided to hide his old love in his heart, determined not to let down Wang Jindi, who had been following him, and the two got married in Tibet. However, Chen Qiushui did not know that Wang Biyun was in Baodao Province.
She has never married and has been waiting for him all her life.
In the 1980s, Wang Biyun and her adopted daughter embarked on a journey to find Chen Qiu Shui. In the hospital in western Fujian, they finally saw Chen Qiu Shui, who was seriously injured in a mudslide during an outpatient clinic. Chen Qiu Shui, who was in a coma, kept mumbling...
"Biyun". Wang Biyun held Chen Qiu Shui's hand tightly. When Chen Qiu Shui opened his eyes, he vaguely saw Wang Biyun's appearance when he was young...
As the story ended, the theme song of "The Ballad of Clouds and Waters" sounded in the small screening room:
The clear moonlight is beautiful, the clouds are dense and the water is dense.
The flower stream is accompanied by colorful clouds, and I am drunk by the sunset after chasing fishing drums.
Green and misty mountains, sweet clouds and water.
The green mountains and green waters are intoxicating, and the mountains and rivers are full of wisdom.
Clouds, clouds, long clouds.
Water, water, slippery water.
…
Niu Xiaobai finally understood what the box of napkins was for: During the movie screening, Dong Xiaoya giggled for the protagonist's happy life for a while, and was excited for their parting for a while... When the movie ended
When Wang Biyun appeared in the scene where she met Chen Qiu Shui at the Western Fujian Hospital, Dong Xiaoya actually leaned on Niu Xiaobai's shoulder and burst into tears, causing Niu Xiaobai to quickly take out a napkin to wipe her tears...
…
"Look at you, a usually carefree female man, how can you learn to be so sentimental? You really impress me." Niu Xiaobai complained as he walked out of the cinema.
"It's disgusting! We are all real girls, okay?" Dong Xiaoya said embarrassedly. She sighed: "That Chen Qiushui and Wang Biyun are so pitiful. They really love each other, but they can't be together."
Niu Xiaobai commented: "I think that Wang Jindi is even more pitiful! She clearly knows that Chen Qiushui has someone else in her heart, but she still insists on being with him."
But Dong Xiaoya shook her head very firmly: "No! I think that Wang Jindi is the happiest person in the whole movie! She loves Chen Qiushui from the bottom of her heart, and finally hopes to get married, have children and live together. In the end
We sacrificed together and were buried together... I want
It's her, she has no regrets in this life..." As she said that, Dong Xiaoya looked at Niu Xiaobai blankly, and her eyes began to get wet again: "As for whether he has someone else in his heart, that's his business..."
…
Before Niu Xiaobai entered the office, his cell phone rang, and the name of Pei Yuan, the director of the sales department of Fuma Group, was displayed on the screen. "Huh? Minister Pei? Why would he call me?"
Niu Xiaobai felt a little strange. Although he had some contact with Pei Yuan some time ago, due to the huge gap in positions, the two basically had no contact in their usual work.
"Manager Niu, what happened to the batch of stepped shafts from MKL Company? I heard from Lao Kang that this batch of goods may be delayed?" As soon as the phone was answered, Pei Yuan asked straight to the point. Pei Yuan
The Lao Kang mentioned is Kang Runlai, the purchasing director of MKL Company. Kang Runlai and Pei Yuan have a pretty good relationship in private.
Facing Pei Yuan's majestic question, Niu Xiaobai had no choice but to reply: "Hee hee, Minister Pei, it's like this... There was something wrong with this batch of products during the production process, maybe.
want……"
Pei Yuan decisively interrupted Niu Xiaobai: "Manager Niu, stop joking! No matter what the excuse or the story, I am not interested in hearing it... You know that this batch of products is what I told Mr. Lao Kang
For those who have promised delivery, I have told you again and again: In order to repair the business cooperation relationship with MKL, there must be no mistakes in this batch of products! If there is a problem, our group and
The cooperation with MKL Company may come to an end! Tell me now: How do you plan to remedy this matter?"
Niu Xiaobai knew that he could no longer beat around the bush with Pei Yuan, so he had to say truthfully: "I have already contacted Manager Jiang of our logistics and purchasing department and asked him to think of ways to mobilize suppliers who may have inventory to deliver raw materials as soon as possible.
Give it to us, or borrow some materials from colleagues with close connections. Once the raw materials are in place, I will immediately arrange for employees to work overtime for production. If the materials arrive in time, it is still possible to ship as planned. I will receive a letter from Manager Jiang today.
Reply, I will inform you of the result then."
"Well, that's all. You have to report the progress to me at any time. Maybe I can help you in some ways? Ah, by the way... do you know that the project manager Anderson of MKL's US headquarters,
What happened to him in your Hangzhong City? He was injured. According to Lao Kang, he seemed to have been beaten severely..."
"Anderson?" Mentioning this name, Niu Xiaobai suddenly remembered the scene that happened in the bar last Friday. So far, Niu Xiaobai still had the urge to beat him. However, Anderson was beaten.
?Who was slapped by him? It couldn’t be referring to Dong Xiaoya’s slap, right?
Niu Xiaobai didn't want to tell Pei Yuan exactly what happened last Friday, but said tactfully: "Minister Pei, I'm not very clear about this matter. Maybe Xiaoya will know that she was the one who got in touch with that Anderson
.By the way, is he seriously injured?"
"I heard from Lao Kang that it's very serious. I'll probably have to lie in bed for a month... Could Xiaoya be with him and be injured too? But... it's impossible. This girl has been practicing martial arts since she was a child and can fight against Sanwu.
There is no problem for a strong man..." Pei Yuan said as if talking to himself.
"What? Minister Pei, you said Xiaoya has practiced martial arts since she was a child? How did you know?" Niu Xiaobai was shocked.
"Oh, oh... I may have remembered the wrong person... Manager Niu, please hurry up and drive that batch of goods!"
