The sun is a little bit poisonous today, and there are no plants around the gate of the prison, so the sunlight is shining down, making the ground look very dry.
Zhao Lei, who was waiting anxiously in the car, couldn't bear it anymore and got out of the car. The moment he opened the door, a wave of heat hit him instantly, but at this time Zhao Lei didn't care at all.
Within a few minutes of coming down, Zhao Lei was already covered in sweat. Some of the sweat dripped from his body and fell to the ground. It was instantly sucked into the dry earth, as if nothing had happened before.
I casually wiped the sweat on my forehead with my hand and heard the creaking sound of the iron door.
Zhao Lei immediately stopped his behavior, couldn't help but walked a few steps quickly, and came to the prison door.
Chen Ming walked out carrying a cowhide bag. As if he was not used to the temperature outside, he put his hand on his forehead to block the hot sunshine.
In the shadows, he saw Zhao Lei standing at the door.
Zhao Lei also saw Chen Ming. Chen Ming now had a haircut and was wearing the same outfit he was wearing when he first entered, a fancy shirt, flared jeans and a pair of brightly polished leather shoes. He was also holding a
Wearing a cowhide bag.
Zhao Lei walked a few steps quickly, hugged Chen Ming directly, and patted his shoulder hard.
The love of brotherhood is unspoken.
"Let's go home!" Zhao Lei took the cowhide bag from Chen Ming's hand and directly dragged Chen Ming into the car.
Chen Ming was sitting in the car, feeling a little uncomfortable for a moment. He looked at the situation in the car cautiously, and then his eyes drifted outside the car, as if he was looking for something.
"What are you looking at?" Zhao Lei asked.
"No...it's nothing!" Chen Ming said quickly. At this time, Chen Ming lost his original spirit and was replaced by caution.
Zhao Lei obviously noticed Chen Ming's change, thought for a moment and said: "Let's go home first, you take a good wash, and then we can have a good meal."
Chen Ming nodded, was silent for a while, and suddenly asked: "Angkor..."
Zhao Lei smiled and said: "Brother Ang, I'm already waiting for you at home. Originally, Brother Ang was going to pick you up in person, but you also know that Brother Ang's identity is different now, so I didn't ask Brother Ang to come in person!"
In the past two years, when Zhao Lei went to see Chen Ming, he would also introduce Wu Jianye's current situation to Chen Ming.
"You don't know, Angkor was still in Xiangjiang two days ago. Knowing that you came out today, he flew back from Xiangjiang specially." Zhao Lei added.
Chen Ming's eyes were slightly red and he murmured to himself: "I thought Angkor didn't care about me anymore."
"What are you talking about? How could Angkor not care about you? Angkor has always been concerned about your affairs!" Zhao Lei said.
The two chatted for a while, and Chen Ming gradually relaxed a little. He touched Zhao Lei's car and said, "I didn't expect that in just a few years, you would buy your own car."
Zhao Lei said with a smile: "Actually, I bought the car a long time ago, but I bought it in the name of the company before. This year, the country opened up the policy of private car buying, so I bought another car for myself. It's not a problem to always drive a company car.
!”
Chen Ming asked with some confusion: "The company belongs to you, why can't you drive the company's car?"
"I don't know. Anyway, what Angkor means is that even if the company is his own, there must be explicit provisions to separate private individuals from the company. This will be conducive to the development of the company. I'm not too clear about the details."
." Zhao Lei said while scratching his head while driving.
Chen Ming nodded and said: "Oh." Then he sighed: "Time flies so fast. We were so happy to have a motorcycle at the beginning. We don't know how to get better. Now you have changed your car."
Zhao Lei recalled: "Yes, we were so scared for two days that we wanted to resell some foreign exchange certificates. If we hadn't met Angkor, we wouldn't know what we would do now."
"Oh, what else can I do? Maybe he hasn't come out yet, or he may have been beaten to death long ago." Chen Ming said with thoughts: "Angkor is a good man. If you follow Angkor in the future, you will be killed."
Don't be like me. I didn't know how high the sky was at the beginning, but now I'm reduced to this situation."
Zhao Lei said: "What are you talking about? What's mine is yours. I've already told Brother Ang that when you come out, I will share half of my shares in the shoe factory with you, and we two brothers will become one in the future."
"Leizi, I know you are doing it for my own good, but let me think about what happens next!" Chen Ming said, and then Chen Ming obviously didn't want to talk about this topic anymore.
So he asked about Zhao Lei's marriage: "How is your relationship with Chaiou?"
Speaking of Chaiou, Zhao Lei showed a happy smile: "I'm going to register my marriage soon, aren't I waiting for you to come out and be my best man!"
Chen Ming laughed at himself: "Aren't you afraid that someone will say that you are unlucky by finding a laborer?"
"How dare you say that!" Zhao Lei suddenly became unhappy.
Chen Ming's eyes were slightly red and he didn't say anything else. He just looked at where Zhao Lei was driving and felt a little confused.
"Where are we going?"
"You'll know when we get there!" Zhao Lei smiled mysteriously.
Soon the two drove to a stop at the entrance of a courtyard house on Neiwufu Street.
The courtyard is not big, just the most ordinary courtyard, but it has obviously been renovated. It is completely different from the slightly older courtyards around it. There is a courtyard next to it that is just like this courtyard.
"This is your new home. I am a neighbor. We two brothers will be inseparable in our lives!" Zhao Lei said to Chen Ming with a smile while standing at the door of the courtyard.
Chen Ming shook his head and said, "I can't have this, it's too expensive!"
Zhao Lei said unhappily: "Why are you so polite to me? Don't you want to be my neighbor?"
When Chen Ming was about to say something else, Zhao Lei had already pulled him in and said, "Okay, stop inking. Brother Ang is already waiting in the yard."
When the two walked into the courtyard, Chen Ming saw Wu Jianye standing in the middle of the courtyard waiting for him.
When he saw Wu Jianye, Chen Ming's eye circles turned red again, "Angkor..."
"Okay, don't say anything, just come out. I didn't call anyone today. Just the three of us sit down and have a good time. You shouldn't blame me for making arbitrary decisions, right?" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
"No...no!" Chen Ming's voice was trembling.
"Okay, you go and wash up first. Lei Zi and I are going to prepare food and give you a good meal today!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
.......
Chen Ming, who had just come out, was obviously still not used to it. During the meal, he drank more and talked less. Zhao Lei was a little worried about Chen Ming, so he only talked about happy things.
"Chen Ming, do you still remember the scene when we first met Angkor?"
"Of course I remember it. At that time, we were worried that we wouldn't be able to communicate with foreigners because Lao Cao didn't come!" Chen Ming said.
"Yes, brother, you didn't know that at that time, you suddenly came out behind me, which shocked us both. Looking at your dress, we thought some stubborn master was interested in us!" Zhao Lei said with a smile.
"Then why didn't you run away?" Wu Jianye asked with a smile.
"The main thing is that you were alone, brother. We thought to ourselves that even if you were sent by the stubborn master, we could still defeat you!" Zhao Lei said with a smile.
"Haha, you kid."
"I wonder what happened to the one named Johnson?" Chen Ming suddenly asked.
Speaking of Johnson, Zhao Lei also laughed, remembering Wu Jianye's behavior of selling the urinal to him.
"He is in the United States now, but I heard that when he returned to the United States with the chamber pot, he was hung up and beaten by his grandfather. It was really a beating!"
Wu Jianye still didn't see Johnson during these two trips to the United States, but Linda said that after returning to Africa, he seemed a lot more stable, and he also took over some family businesses. Now he is still a relatively well-known person in La
Young talents.
The three of them chatted about past events, which relieved Chen Ming's mood a lot, and he was no longer as dull as before.
Late at night, Wu Jianye realized that he had drank a lot and stayed here instead of going home.
In the morning, Wu Jianye woke up and saw Chen Ming sitting in the yard, stunned.
"Why so early?"
"I'm used to it!" Chen Ming said with a wry smile.
"Let him let go of the past. There will still be a long time to come." Wu Jianye comforted him.
"Well, thank you Angkor!" Chen Ming said.
"I have something to do today, so I won't accompany you. Let Zhao Lei take you to get familiar with Yanjing. As for the work, it won't be too late to wait until you have thought about it!" Wu Jianye said.
"Um!"
After leaving the courtyard, Wu Jianye went straight to Tangting Culture. Now the post-production of "The Last Emperor" is in full swing. Wu Jianye, as the director, has been away from here for nearly a month, so it's time to come and have a look.
When teacher Fu Zhengyi saw Wu Jianye, he also complained: "You are such a great director, you are really a hands-off boss!"
Wu Jianye smiled and said, "With Teacher Fu here, of course I feel relieved!"
"You." Fu Zhengyi smiled and glanced at Wu Jianye. As an editor, Fu Zhengyi was naturally happy to have a director who was willing to delegate authority. However, Wu Jianye delegated authority too much, which actually made him feel
This director feels a little careless.
He took out a copy and handed it to Wu Jianye and said, "This is the edited part. Take a look!"
The editing room of Tangting Culture is large and the machines are sufficient. Wu Jianye put the copy into the machine and watched it carefully.
I have to say that Fu Zhengyi's editing is absolutely amazing, perfectly presenting Wu Jianye's meaning, and at the same time, the camera switching makes it impossible to see any trace.
"The duration of this movie is not short!" Fu Zhengyi said from the sidelines.
"About how long?" Wu Jianye asked.
"If you edit it according to the instructions you gave, it will take at least three hours, which is more than double that of an ordinary movie." Fu Zhengyi said.
The original version of "The Last Emperor" only lasted three hours. Now, although Wu Jianye has deleted some scenes from the original version, he has added a lot of his own understanding to it, so the length of the movie is not shortened but actually
It may be lengthened.
Wu Jianye said: "It doesn't matter, just edit it according to the content we have set!"
"Okay, you are the director and you have the final say!" Fu Zhengyi nodded and had no objection.
Wu Jianye was watching the editing of "The Last Emperor" on one side, while on the other side, Zhao Lei had already taken Chen Ming to visit the Forty-Nine City.
The first stop was to take Chen Ming to the International Trade Center under construction.
"This place was built by Angkor's Xiangjiang Company in cooperation with China, with an investment of over 100 million US dollars!" Zhao Lei said excitedly while sitting in the car.
Chen Ming couldn't help but gasped: "One hundred million US dollars?"
"Yes, Angkor has led us to develop rapidly in the past few years, and we now have a group in Xiangjiang." Zhao Lei said.
Chen Ming shook his head. What had he missed in the past few years?
"Would you like to go down and take a look?" Zhao Lei suggested.
"No need." Chen Ming shook his head.
"By the way, let me take you to buy some things. Now that you have moved to a new home, I will take you to buy some daily necessities!" Zhao Lei said.
"How much does that courtyard house cost?" Chen Ming asked.
"Why do you ask this?" Zhao Lei said unhappily.
"If you don't tell me how much it will cost, I won't stay!" Chen Ming said firmly.
"You still care about me so much?"
"This is not something to be careless about, Lei Zi, I know you are good to me, but I can't live and eat for free!"
In the end, Zhao Lei failed to convince Chen Ming and could only say unhappily: "Five thousand!"
"Well, I'll pay you back when I make money later!" Chen Ming said. He knew that if he couldn't live, Zhao Lei would definitely not agree, so he could only come up with this compromise.
"Okay, let's talk about it then." Zhao Lei obviously didn't want to say more about this, so he brought Chen Ming to the Tianqiao Department Store.
"It seems like things have changed here?"
Standing at the entrance of Tianqiao Department Store, Chen Ming said with some confusion.
"Tianqiao Department Store has been reformed and is now called Tianqiao Department Store Co., Ltd.!" Zhao Lei said with a smile.
"A company limited by shares?"
"Yes, it's actually similar to our company in Xiangjiang."
Tianqiao Department Store was formerly known as the Fourth Batch Department of Yanjing City Company of Huaxia Department Store. It has always been famous for being the first to eat crabs in the country. In the 1950s, it was the first commercial red flag in the country.
In the early 1980s, he was the first to break China's 30-year salary system and changed the business level 11 to the new level 8.
Moreover, the change of Tianqiao Department Store into a joint-stock company was the first case in the Four-Nine Cities. In order to define a joint-stock company, the industrial and commercial department held a meeting for three days...
Chen Ming said: "If you have time, can you help me find some books on this subject to read?"
Zhao Lei said with a smile: "Okay, I have a lot of books like this. Angkor said that business operations in the future can no longer rely on the recklessness we used to do. We must have skills. He brought me a lot of books and asked me to
Look, but you also know that my brain hurts when I read, but this is a death order from Angkor. It’s not enough if I don’t read. Even Zhou Tao has gone to the United States to study."
Chen Ming nodded and said nothing more.
The two bought something at Tianqiao Department Store and returned directly to the courtyard. At night, Zhao Lei said with a smile: "Let's go, I will take you to a fun place to see!"
