He Xin chatted with his girlfriend on the phone for about ten minutes.
As soon as he entered the box, he heard Li Mengnan shouting: "Xiao He, your girlfriend Cha Qin's phone number is quite busy!"
This guy obviously drank a little too much, and he was showing off his teeth and claws very energetically.
"This young couple is doing this right now. Is it possible that they are like you two, quarreling every once in a while?" Hao Rong glanced at this guy, and said sarcastically while picking up the peanuts in the Kung Pao Chicken.
It is said that Li Mengnan and his wife have been having conflicts recently, and it has escalated to the point of divorce. It is not because of any principled issues, it is all trivial matters, which have accumulated over time, and this time it finally broke out.
Hao Rong had been trying to persuade him for a long time, but the result was that he couldn't get enough oil and salt, which made Old Hao annoyed.
I've also met Li Mengnan's daughter-in-law, He Xin. What should I say? It's not that she's not good, she's just a native of the capital. She always has a sense of superiority, and his wife's sense of superiority is particularly obvious.
Too much contempt for outsiders, especially those relatives and friends from Li Mengnan's hometown in Henan, often made Li Mengnan feel very embarrassed.
So much so that although He Xin had known Li Mengnan for a long time and had a deeper friendship, he rarely went to his house. In contrast, Hao Rong's family was much nicer. Although he usually took care of his husband more closely, he was very strict outside.
Give Hao Rong face and occasionally go to his house, where he will be entertained with good wine and delicious food.
The difference is very obvious.
As the saying goes, it is difficult for an upright official to deal with household matters. Li Mengnan's family matters depend on what he thinks, so today He Xin didn't even say a word of advice. All he could do was drink with him.
One drink can relieve a thousand worries!
Hao Rong said what he needed to say and advised what he needed to say, and fulfilled his duty as a friend.
Seeing He Xin sitting down again, he changed the topic and said: "Xiao He, you are not very interesting. You don't say anything about renovating the house. If your sister-in-law didn't tell me, I wouldn't know."
It has been more than half a month since He Xin came back this time. He has been busy decorating the house recently. At first, he sent the design drawings to his girlfriend in Yun Province, but the feedback message came back the next day.
"very good".
The fact that my girlfriend can express her opinions on the decoration of the new house also proves that she will regard this place as her home in the future, so this guy gets very busy.
Yesterday, I happened to meet Hao Rong's wife in the new house community. It is said that she has found several decoration companies, but she was not satisfied with the design. She even went to his decoration site to visit. At that time, she was impressed by the simplicity of his place.
The design is full of praise.
Although He Xin hired Sister Hong's husband to decorate and design the new house, it was actually one of Sister Hong's husband's students who helped with the design. After all, it was a bit too much to let a big architect who designs high-rise buildings mess with the interior decoration of a small apartment.
Exaggerated.
Moreover, He Xin's own requirements are also very simple. The first is to be simple, without any fancy design, as long as it is convenient for cleaning in the future, convenient and practical; the other is that the water, electricity, kitchen and bathroom must be solid and practical.
He had suffered this kind of loss in his previous life. When his old house was renovated, it was because he used cheap goods, which caused problems every now and then. Once, a triangular valve on the kitchen water pipe collapsed, causing water to flood the house.
The wooden floors were all soaked, deformed and scrapped, and they had to compensate the family who suffered water leakage downstairs. It can be said that the gain outweighs the loss.
He Xin rolled his eyes and said, "Didn't you say that your sister-in-law makes the final decision on the decoration of your house? I'm telling you that!"
"Look at what you said, it's true that your sister-in-law makes the decision on the decoration of the house, but I'm the head of the household anyway, so why can't I say that? I'm telling you, your sister-in-law has taken a liking to the decoration style of your house, and will help introduce it later.
Introducing Ang!"
"That's no problem, but if you have any dissatisfaction then, don't blame me." He Xin said beforehand.
"How can this be possible? It was your sister-in-law who said she was interested in her. Then she will have to rely on herself. In fact, I don't care." Hao Rong said carelessly.
Although He Xin's house design is simple, he has more than ten years of experience than others. For example, advanced ideas such as reserving network cable locations are refreshing. Of course, things like optical fiber are still too advanced at the moment.
, and besides, when fiber optics are actually introduced into households in more than ten years, he and Cheng Hao may already have children, and it will be time for them to change houses.
Seeing the two of them chatting enthusiastically about the decoration of the house, Li Mengnan looked depressed at the side. The guy finally couldn't help it. He slapped the table twice, raised a full glass of wine and shouted: "You still have more
It’s over, let’s drink!”
…
He Xin did not know Shen Yan, but the two talked on the phone once before meeting and made an appointment to meet at a teahouse in Sanlitun.
"Waiter, where is the restroom?"
"Go straight ahead and turn right."
"OK, thanks."
The next afternoon, he arrived at the teahouse at the agreed address. As soon as he entered the door, he felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach and planned to go to the bathroom first.
He walked over in a hurry and accidentally bumped into someone when he entered the door.
"I'm sorry! Uh...who are you?"
He hurriedly greeted the person, but when he raised his head and looked at the person opposite, he couldn't help but be startled. The young man in front of him looked a bit ferocious, with a head as big as a fat-headed fish. He looked very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before, but for a moment he was surprised.
I can't remember it at all.
The person opposite was stunned at first, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't wait for the other person to say his name. His face suddenly sank and he said, "Who are you?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, I may have recognized the wrong person." He Xin felt his stomach was churning again at this moment, and he didn't want to think about it anymore. He said hello quickly and hurried in.
After he ran into the cubicle, took off his pants, and breathed a sigh of relief, he vaguely heard someone talking outside.
"Mouse, did you meet someone you know?"
"No, I'm just an idiot who got the wrong person."
"I thought just now..."
The sound gradually faded away, and He Xin, who was squatting in the cubicle, was speechless. This was the first time in a long time that he heard someone calling him a fool behind his back.
After a moment of pleasure, He Xin washed his hands and looked at himself in the mirror again. With his neat short hair, the young man was still so handsome!
Walked out of the bathroom, followed the text message the other party sent previously, and came to private room No. 8 in the tea house.
He was stunned as soon as he entered the door, because he immediately saw the familiar guy he met in the bathroom before, who was still calling him a fool behind his back, that guy who looked a bit vicious and had a head as big as a fat-headed fish.
This guy was obviously taken aback when he saw He Xin suddenly come in.
At this time, a middle-aged man with glasses and an elegant appearance sitting opposite the fat-headed fish obviously recognized him at a glance. He stood up and said enthusiastically: "Hello, He Xin!"
He Xin quickly reacted, walked over to shake hands with him, and said hello: "Are you Director Shen Yan?"
"You're welcome, I'm Shen Yan. Come on, let me introduce you. This is Ning Hao, the assistant director of our play."
He Xin suddenly realized when he heard the name Ning Hao. No wonder this fat-headed fish looked so familiar to him when he saw him just now. He turned out to be a great director in the future.
Not to mention, even though Ning Hao looks a bit ferocious, seeing him narrow his eyes and grin, actually gave him a strange sense of affinity.
This is the face of Ning Hao in He Xin's memory.
At this time, he was completely different from before. He stretched out his hands with a diligent expression and said enthusiastically: "I just said that you looked so familiar. It turns out that you are Mr. He! I'm sorry, I'm sorry for my blindness!" "
After saying that, he explained to Shen Yan with a smile: "Brother Shen, I just met our great actor at the bathroom door, but I didn't recognize him at the time."
"Ah?...Oh!" Shen Yan had a strange expression on his face at first, but then he immediately pretended to be enlightened and said with a smile: "What a coincidence!"
"Mr. He, please sit down, please sit down!"
Then Ning Hao hurriedly and enthusiastically gave up the seat next to him, and even poured him a cup of tea diligently. Then he said with some surprise: "Mr. He, have you seen me before?"
He Xin was actually speechless when he saw how hypocritical he was at this time. Just now he was calling himself a fool behind his back, but in the blink of an eye he became Mr. He. At the same time, he had to admire his shrewdness and high emotional intelligence. No wonder he would do so later. Become a great director, what a talent!
At this time, Ning Hao was just an unknown photography student from Nortel, making a living by shooting commercials. Shen Yan, who was directing a feature film for the first time, was able to ask him to be the assistant director of the crew, which could be regarded as a support to his little brother.
