A few days after Pengpeng's birthday, elementary school started, and her "good days" were finally over.
There was no banquet for Pengpeng's birthday this year, but it was celebrated as a family together, and Xu Yuhan was also there.
Although it was not as lively as last year, it was still warm and cozy.
After fifteen days, Shen Jian called and asked Guan Bao to have a meal together, and Zhang Zhong agreed.
The time was set on the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, and the location was Hong Yun Lai Restaurant, but this time I didn't meet Lin Ruoshui.
After entering the door, Zhang Zhong kept looking around.
He was used to seeing Lin Ruoshui every time he came here before, but he didn't expect to see him this time, so he "missed" the fat man a little.
Of course, maybe Mr. Lin, whom we haven't seen for a long time, has successfully lost weight and is no longer fat.
When Zhang Zhong arrived at the box, Shen Jian had already arrived. There were two people in the box, Shen Jian and Guan Bao, chatting.
This was not the first time for everyone to meet. Although Zhang Zhong and Guan Bao were not familiar with each other, they had met before and they had a relationship with Shen Jian, so they were not polite. Zhang Zhong said hello casually and sat down.
"You came just in time. Guan Bao and I happened to be chatting about you." Shen Jian stood up and poured tea for Zhang Zhong.
Zhang Chong asked with a smile, "What are you talking about about me?"
"That's a lot to talk about. You are a topical figure in your own right. But the main thing is to talk about the completion of "The Last Starfish"."
"Well, I know about this." Of course Zhang Zhong knew. Affleck called him two days ago and told him that he would be returning to the United States in the next few days.
Guan Bao said, "After working on the set of "The Last Starfish", I have some free time. But I recently had an idea to make "The Soul-Breaking Gun" into a movie."
Zhang Zhong said with some surprise, ""The Soul-Destroying Gun" was made into a movie? This novel is a bit short."
Guan Bao said with a smile, "Although the length is short, it contains a lot of content. I was thinking about it for the past two days and cut out a 120-minute film in my head."
"The director still makes movies in his head."
"Nothing to think about."
"This is a good idea. No one has asked about the film and television adaptation of this novel. If you are interested, I will tell Chen Qing later and you can discuss it in detail."
"Okay, then I'll thank you in advance with tea instead of wine."
"Don't be so polite. It's a win-win situation."
Shen Jian smiled and said, "Then remember to give me a role."
"There are so many roles, but I'm afraid you won't be the protagonist. After all, you're not old enough."
Shen Jian was unconvinced and said, "Now that makeup technology is so good, it may be difficult to look younger, but it is not easy to look older."
"Haha, Old Shen, you really want to be a show tyrant." Zhang Chong said with a smile.
"I can only make a few jokes outside the crew. Inside the crew, it's not the director who has the final say."
Boom, boom, boom.
While the three of them were talking, someone knocked on the door of the box.
Shen Jian said, "Come in."
Then the door was pushed open and a big face stuck out.
Seeing this big face, Zhang Zhong and Shen Jian laughed at the same time.
Sure enough, Fatty Lin may be late, but he will never be absent.
No, people are here again.
Zhang Zhong originally thought that he had lost weight successfully after not seeing him for a long time. He never thought that this time he would be a little fatter than the last time he met, and that the weight he had lost had returned.
"Teacher Zhang, Teacher Shen, yo, the director is here too, the shop is really shining." Lin Ruoshui walked in cheerfully.
We met more and more, and we became more or less friendly. Zhang Zhong joked, "Mr. Lin is becoming more and more dignified now."
Lin Ruoshui smiled cheekily, "It's winter, it's winter, it's hard to survive the winter without hiding some meat. It's been a long time since I last saw you, Teacher Zhang and Teacher Shen are still as charming as ever, and Director Guan is much more handsome than on TV."
"Mr. Lin, let's sit down and talk."
"Then I won't refuse."
Just like that, Lin Ruoshui also joined in.
After chatting for a while, Zhang Zhong received a call from his mother, saying that one of their colleagues was undergoing surgery in the hospital and was going to have a look.
When Zhang Zhong came over, it was the driver driving the car.
After receiving the call from his mother, Zhang Zhong called the driver and asked the driver to take a taxi back, drive another car to take his mother and the others to the hospital, and then drive back by himself.
Zhang Zhong did not avoid such an episode, and the other three people present heard it.
After chatting for a while, Lin Ruoshui stood up and left.
Although he was thick-skinned, he also knew how to behave and did not sit here for too long.
After he left, the waiter brought another bottle of Kangdi's red wine. No need to ask, it must have been sent by Lin Ruoshui.
Looking at the red wine, Shen Jian smiled and said, "This guy gives away wine every day and is not afraid of losing money."
This wine is indeed not cheap. A bottle costs tens of thousands. Let alone giving it as a gift, most customers who come over and want to buy it can’t even buy it.
However, the wine was not opened in the end. The three of us were not good at drinking and had to drive, so we kept the wine.
When they left, Lin Ruoshui came out to see them off again.
Just give it away, and you have to find a driver for them.
All three of them said that they had not drank, but Lin Ruoshui said, "It is not safe to drive by yourself at night. Besides, Teacher Zhang is usually a driver. How can I let you drive by yourself?"
Without any explanation, Lin Ruoshui called three surrogate drivers for them at the door and paid all the money.
Now that the matter was over, Zhang Zhong didn't say anything more and just took the driver with him.
He really doesn't want to drive himself, and by letting someone else drive, he can free up time to do other things.
Sitting in the car, Zhang Zhong was thinking about the content of the class in the next few days, when suddenly the car pulled over and stopped.
Zhang Zhong frowned and asked the driver, "What's wrong, master?"
The driver, a young man, turned around and said with a smile, "Boss, it's a long way here and I don't pay enough."
Hearing the driver's words, Zhang Zhong immediately understood that he wanted to raise the price on the ground.
He said with a smile, "Didn't the boss just give you one hundred and fifty? Isn't that even enough?"
"not enough."
"Young people, it's a good thing to want to make money, but you have to have a certain bottom line as a human being. If you send me back now, I will pretend that this never happened."
Maybe because he felt Zhang Zhong's aura was a bit strong, the driver shrank his neck, but he still didn't back down, "Boss, you have to think about it, it's not easy to find a driver in this place, and you can't stop for too long. "
Zhang Zhong frowned and had no interest in educating him anymore. He said directly, "Okay, then you go to the trunk and take out your mobility scooter, and you can go back by yourself."
"Boss, you have to think about it."
"I thought about it very clearly, and I don't want to say it again," Zhang Chong said coldly.
"Okay, I'll see what you do, and I'll give the car to you."
The driver got out of the car and walked away, leaving his scooter in Zhang Zhong's trunk. He had no intention of picking up the car.
Zhang Zhong smiled, got out of the car from the back, then went to the front and drove directly home.
The driver who had just left for a while turned around and saw Zhang Zhong driving away. He was stunned for a moment, and then he started laughing.
He took out his mobile phone and called the police, "Hello, I want to call the police. There is a black XX car with the license plate number XXXXXX. The driver was drunk and he also stole my folding electric bicycle. The electric bicycle was in his trunk.
Here, he is now driving towards the XXXX community at the intersection of Tianbu Road and Wanze Road..."
