The dishes that were served were all Western-style, with a large piece of steak per person and some other dishes. They tasted very good. After I tasted them, I knew that this chef was extraordinary.
The child likes to eat this kind of food, but his eating habits are not very good. After a while, his face and hands were all dirty. Dong Jie kept wiping the child's hands and face, and she did it very carefully. I was very impressed.
Dong Jie said: "Don't worry about him. It seems that I will have to teach him more in the future."
Lin Yi nodded and said: "Yes, children must be taught from an early age. If some habits are formed in the future, it will be difficult to correct them."
Then Xia Lan talked about the content of a TV series she was preparing to take on recently. She said: "I like this character very much. The hottest social issues at present are housing and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. This is what this TV series is about.
Content. I read the script and it’s really good, and the director plans to invite top male movie stars to star in it. This drama will definitely be a hit.”
Lin Yi said with a smile: "You don't need to say more. I have already agreed to invest, and of course I have to consider the return. I have already thought about it. This film must have a famous director and actor, and I also have to consider introducing new talents."
I understood immediately, and then interrupted and asked: "Uncle Lin, are you really investing in movies and TV series now?"
He smiled and nodded: "Yes. I think film and television investment is very interesting, and it can also increase the influence of our Jiangnan Group. I have two purposes for investing in this area. One is to allow Xia Lan to take on more influential people.
Secondly, I set up this company specifically because Xiaojie likes to do such things. From now on, Xiaojie will be in charge of this aspect."
I looked at Dong Jie in surprise, and she blushed a little, and then said in a low voice: "It will be much more convenient for me to take photos with those big stars from now on."
I was startled for a moment, then laughed, "So your idea is so simple? Dong Jie, from now on, you will be the producer and investor, and those big stars will have to come and beg you."
Lin Yi also laughed, "Yes. Xiaojie, you will be the real big star from now on. If you want to play a role in a certain drama, is that just a matter of your words?"
Dong Jie's face turned redder and she said, "I can't act."
Xia Lan smiled and said to her: "I can teach you. In fact, acting is not difficult, and it is not difficult to act well. It only needs the actor's heart to be close to the soul of the character. But then again, this
In fact, it is quite difficult. The key is to look at a person's understanding. In fact, there are many good actors in our country, but it is not that easy to become famous. First, it requires luck, and second, you need to meet people who can
A good script that made me famous in one fell swoop. In the final analysis, this is still a matter of luck. My luck used to be pretty good. After all, I had the opportunity to make movies when I was so young, but it didn't work out later. Mainly because I didn't get the opportunity.
A good script. Hey! A good script is something that can be encountered but cannot be sought. Xiaojie, let’s do this, I will star with you in this drama, and you will play the second female lead by yourself, how about it? "
But Dong Jie shook his head and said: "I don't want to act. That's not what I like to do. Actors have to appear frequently and have to be interviewed by reporters. I don't like it."
Lin Yi said to Dong Jie softly: "If you don't like it, don't do it. I will support you in whatever you like. Xiaojie, you are my only daughter, can I still satisfy you with such a thing? Anyway, just a little, you
Play however you want, don't think too much about things. I have struggled all my life, but everything about me still doesn't belong to you? As long as you feel happy."
Dong Jie shook his head and said: "No, I have to do it well if I want to do it."
Lin Yi immediately smiled and said to me: "My Lin Yi's daughter is just different. She never admits defeat."
I smiled and said: "I agree with her statement. Anyway, she is still very young. You have built such a good platform for her. She should work hard. Of course, it doesn't matter if she fails. Next time
There is still a chance this time. To do anything, one only needs to work hard, and success or failure is not important."
But Dong Jie still said: "No, I have to do it well if I want to do it."
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: In fact, she is also a very strong girl, and she seems to particularly want to prove her ability.
But I felt a little worried in my heart: What if she can’t do it well? Will she be able to withstand that kind of pressure by then?
Although Lin Yi said that we should have a few more drinks today, it is impossible to have any passion when drinking in such an atmosphere, and drinking must have atmosphere and passion.
So, we didn’t drink much, and it was Xia Lan who suggested not drinking anymore. She said, “Don’t drink too much. Lao Lin, drink less. Do you really think you are still a young man in his twenties?”
Huh? Feng Xiao, don’t drink either, your dad’s body is an example.”
I'm embarrassed again.
Lin Yi shook his head and said: "Xia Lan, you...you obviously mean well, but why are your words so ugly?"
I thought to myself: That's right. At this moment, I immediately understood the reason why her relationship with her ex-husband was not going well. Sometimes it's like this, the way you speak is really important——
An apology may quell a war; a mean word may break someone's heart; a comforting word may heal someone else's wound; a cool word may make someone hate you for the rest of his life; a fair word may make someone hate you for the rest of his life;
I am grateful for your life; a lie may make you lose your heart; a truth may double your prestige; a straightforward word may escalate the tense atmosphere; a word of praise may resolve a crisis; a word of slander may make you
A family is disintegrated; the words "I love you" may make you happy for a lifetime...
Ordinary friends must speak carefully; true friends must speak without hesitation; ordinary friends must be polite; true friends, you can do whatever you want; ordinary friends will worry about it for a lifetime if they say the wrong word;
A true friend understands that this is the real you; an ordinary friend will not let you go even if you apologize; a true friend understands everything without saying anything...
For urgent matters, speak slowly; for big matters, speak clearly; for small matters, speak humorously; for things you are not sure about, speak carefully; for things that have not happened, do not talk nonsense; for things that cannot be done, do not talk nonsense; to hurt others
Don't talk about the things you hate; don't tell people the things you hate; tell the happy things, depending on the occasion; don't tell the sad things in person; talk about the present things after they are done; talk about the future things in the future...
...
These are all speaking skills, but how many people can actually do them?
Xia Lan didn't care about Lin Yi's criticism. She smiled and said: "Today we are a family together, so I said it so casually. Do you think I am a fool? Lao Lin, Feng Xiao, such words to others I
I’m too lazy to talk about it.”
Listening to what she said, I felt touched in my heart - in fact, what she said is the same. When a family is together, why should there be so many taboos about talking? Maybe her ex-husband had a problem, maybe he
I like to haggle too much.
And I can see that Lin Yi is really very generous to her.
After dinner, Lin Yi said to me: "Feng Xiao, it's not completely dark outside yet. It gets dark late this season. Let's go sit on the lawn outside."
I nodded, "Okay."
He immediately told one of the people standing behind him: "Go and make us a pot of Dahongpao that just came out this year. We will go to the lawn to drink it later."
There is a large lawn outside his villa, with several leisure rattan chairs placed in the middle of the lawn. That place is indeed a good place to drink tea.
Then I walked outside with him, and he lit a cigarette.
There is a big lawn in front of us. The sun is setting in the west and the sky is full of beautiful clouds. Today we eat a little early, and it doesn't take up a lot of time.
"Feng Xiao. Do you think it's okay for me to arrange something like this for Xiaojie? Is it appropriate?" he asked me when we entered the lawn.
I replied: "Of course. Actually, Uncle Lin, you are such a wise person, your arrangement must have been carefully considered, but you care too much about Dong Jie... By the way, Lin
Uncle, is she still called by this name now?"
He replied: "The name is not important. What is important is that she is my daughter. You think so? So, I didn't think about changing her name."
I nodded and said: "You are right. Dong Jie's biggest problem is that she has been living with low self-esteem. It is of course best for you to let her do such things independently. But I am very worried about one thing, that is
What if she doesn't do well? If that happens, I'm worried that it will put more pressure on her and make her condition relapse. So, I think you have to
Arrange someone to help her secretly. If she really doesn't get things done, you have to fill the hole immediately. Money is not a big deal to you. Anyway, you just want to let her have fun.
You just started setting up that company, right?"
He nodded and said: "That's right. Feng Xiao, your reminder is right. It seems that I really care too much about her, so I don't think about the problem very carefully. Well, the woman who is accompanying her now
The child is very good and has strong abilities. When the time comes, I will give her private instructions and ask her to report to me on the company's operations at any time."
I nodded, "It's best not to let Dong Jie know about this matter. I just discovered today that she has a particularly strong self-esteem."
He nodded, and then said to me in a deep voice: "Feng Xiao, Xiaojie likes you very much. Do you know?"
I suddenly became nervous, "Uncle Lin, that is impossible. She is your daughter, and she is so young and beautiful. She should find a promising young man. Who am I?"
I really became nervous all of a sudden, so that what I said seemed a little weird. What does promising mean? It should be the word "young and promising".
He nodded, "You are right. The purpose of letting her do this is to allow her to contact more boys. Her previous life was too closed."
I let out a long sigh of relief. But I understood the meaning of Lin Yi's words: In fact, he didn't want Dong Jie to choose me.
This is not a strange thing. After all, Dong Jie is his daughter. After all, Lin Yi knows me too well.
We were walking on the lawn, and there was a gentle breeze blowing here, and there was a sweet warmth in the breeze. In this autumn evening, I felt comfortable inside.
"Feng Xiao, have you contacted Tong Yao recently?" We walked forward for a while, and he suddenly asked me.
I nodded, "I have contacted her. But she was recently invited to work by the Hong Kong police."
He stopped immediately and looked at me in surprise, "Really?"
I nodded, "Yes. She just left Jiangnan not long ago."
He was silent for a moment, and then said after a while: "Either the matter of firing her at that time was false..."
I didn't expect him to think like this, "Uncle Lin, this is impossible, isn't it? The document of her expulsion is true. Would the organization joke about such a thing?"
He nodded, "That's true. But it's hard to talk about things within the police. Sometimes they will use any means to keep it secret. But I think such a thing is unlikely. It is said that she has been idle since she was fired, and there is no
Participate in the investigation of any case. Hey! Now I think about my attitude at that time... My tolerance is still too small, why can't I tolerate a female police officer? Now that Hong Kong wants her, this is not a fight.
My face? I really did a terrible job in this matter... Forget it, let’s not talk about it. So Feng Xiao, what did she say to you before she left? "
I shook my head, "She only told me before she left. I also felt it was very sudden."
As I was talking, my cell phone suddenly rang. It was a call from my mother, "Xiao'er, come back quickly. A thief was found at home, and Xiaozhuang was injured when he went to catch him."
I immediately became nervous, "Is he seriously injured?" (To be continued)
