President, I didn't want to flirt with you [Entertainment]

The box office of "Fixed Storm" is also much higher than Zhang Yang's second estimate. When it was released for half a month, the cumulative box office reached 13 billion, which they had never imagined before.According to the forecast of the distribution director, the cumulative box office may reach about 17 billion before it goes offline.

This is a very good result for an unconventional commercial film.

Such a result, of course, is indirectly related to the turmoil before the release. Yang Qingli originally wanted to bring down the film, but he didn't expect to be self-defeating, which attracted a lot of passerby traffic for "Setting the Storm".In order to support the movie, many fans did not hesitate to swipe twice and swipe three times.

Of course, the premise of all this is that Ding Feng Bo is indeed a good movie worth watching.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no other work at the stage of the film's release, Zhang Yang was planning to do something he had always wanted to do, but he didn't know what to do about it, so when he asked Qu Xi, he had to think about it for a long time.

"A few days ago, the old man came to chat with me and said... he wanted to arrange to have a meal with your... family." Zhang Yang peeked at Qu Xi's expression while talking, and Qu Xi was obviously stunned after hearing his words For a moment, I didn't realize the meaning of these words.

Quxi's family members?That is Quxi's parents.In fact, Quxi himself has thought about this question more than once. Now he is the owner of this body, and that Quxi's original family is also his current family.

Probably because of the experience in his previous life, he has never had a good impression of the concept of family. After all, the people who sold him to the palace were his parents.No matter what kind of difficulties d had in his family at that time, for Quxi in the past, sending him to the palace as a eunuch was an act that he could hardly forgive.

Even though he tried hard to convince himself, he still couldn't pass that hurdle.

"Actually, I also think it's time to meet them." Qu Xi said.

Zhang Yang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and asked again, "You...haven't contacted them all this time?"

Qu Xi nodded and said, "It doesn't count as contact. I received a WeChat message a long time ago asking me what I was doing. I said I was filming a movie. I haven't contacted you since then."

I don't know if it's Qu Xi's illusion, but I always feel that his parents are not particularly affectionate to him.For several months, he has not actively contacted his parents, and his parents have always maintained that sense of distance. They never took the initiative to call him, nor asked if they would go home during the holidays.

"Many children go to school now, and they don't have frequent contact with their families." Zhang Yang comforted: "When I was studying abroad, I only called the old man on Mid-Autumn Festival and New Year's Eve. He never contacted me at other times. I never took the initiative to contact him."

Qu Xi nodded, feeling a little complicated and nervous for a while.On the one hand, he hoped that they would stay so estranged forever, so as not to be embarrassed when they met each other, but at the same time, he had some expectations, and even unconsciously regarded the other party as his parents.

He thought, even if it is not intimate, it is necessary to be able to take care of the elderly.

After all, blood is thicker than water, and blood similar to that of the other party flows in his body.

"Am I a bit too cold-blooded?" Qu Xi asked, "I haven't cared about them for so long."

"Of course not." Zhang Yang stretched out his hand to hold the young man's hand and said, "After all, your situation is too special. It is not easy for you to convince yourself to accept a strange family. If it were me, I would will be more contradictory than you."

Anyway, now that things have come to this point, it will be a matter of time before they meet.But Quxi still needs some time to prepare himself psychologically. After all, he knows nothing about that family. He doesn't know what he is about to face. It may be a surprise or a shock.

Zhang Yang didn't want Qu Xi to be under too much pressure, so he didn't urge him all the time, and only waited for Qu Xi to think it over before making a decision.

A week later, news came from Lin Muyan that "The Storm" had been shortlisted for a certain domestic film award.And judging by his style of this film award, "The Storm" should be able to harvest at least three awards.But no one believed his judgment, given his previous history of failed predictions.

But just being shortlisted also made another wave of contributions to the film's domestic traffic. On the day of being shortlisted and the next day, the single-day box office of "The Storm" rose by a small wave.

At the same time, Uncle Wu called Zhang Yang and said that the old man wanted to see them.

This was the first time Zhang Yang and the old man offered to see Qu Xi after they confessed, so Zhang Yang was still a little nervous.Although the old man had a very clear attitude before and even proposed to see Quxi's parents, Zhang Yang was not optimistic.

The two dressed very formally today, and even Qu Xi wore a semi-casual suit.

After arriving at the group headquarters, the employees they met along the way called Mr. Zhang and called Qu Xi Teacher Qu, which made Qu Xi feel very awkward. He will only be 20 years old next month, so he will become a teacher!

However, the group employees' attitude towards Zhang Yang made Quxi feel that everything had changed dramatically from the last time he came.At that time, Zhang Yang was still a young man who was not favored, but now he has the demeanor of half a family leader.

"Slowly get used to it." In the elevator, Zhang Yang said to Qu Xi: "When I was hospitalized some time ago, the old man did it himself and sent some of my uncles home to take care of them. Now this place is much cleaner."

"He did this for you?" Qu Xi asked.

"Who knows, I can't see through him." Zhang Yang said.

When the two arrived at the door of the old man's office, Uncle Wu was waiting there, opened the door to let the two into the room, and then closed the door smoothly.The old man was drinking coffee. After seeing the two of them, he put down the coffee, got up and walked to the sofa on the other side of the office to sit down.

"Don't stand, sit down." The old man said.Zhang Yang pulled Qu Xi to sit next to him, while he deliberately sat between the two to avoid the old man directly embarrassing Qu Xi.

Unexpectedly, the old man stared at Quxi for a while, and he actually had a benevolent smile on his face.Zhang Yang seldom saw the old man like this, and he had long been used to the other party's unsmiling and distant manner. When he saw him suddenly, he felt very awkward, and subconsciously felt that the other party was trying to make something bad.

"Dad, just speak up if you have something to say." Zhang Yang turned his body sideways, keeping Qu Xi behind him.

The old man withdrew his gaze and said, "How old is Quxi this year?"

Just as Qu Xi was about to speak when he heard the words, Zhang Yang said first, "Nineteen, it's almost twenty."

"Oh, he's more than seven years younger than Yangyang, rounded up to one round." The old man said solemnly.

Qu Xi was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and he didn't know what the old man meant by saying this suddenly, because he thought he was too young and feared that he would not be mature?Or do you feel that the age gap between the two is too large and inappropriate?But seven years old is not too much for Qu Xi!

Zhang Yang had a dark face, and said, "You also know that I rounded up to thirty, can you stop calling me a nickname?"

"I'm your father, what's wrong with calling you by your nickname." The old man said solemnly, Zhang Yang could only suppress the irritability in his heart, and sat there honestly waiting for the other party to continue his lecture.

"What does Quxi's family do?" the old man asked again.

Just as Qu Xi was about to speak, Zhang Yang spoke first, "Ordinary worker's family."

"The workers are very nice." The old man said: "Zhang Yang, why don't you go outside and wait. I'm talking to Qu Xi, but you keep interrupting. What do you mean by keeping people from talking? Bullying someone who is younger than you?"

"I'm seven years older than him, and rounding up is half a round. How could it be a round?" Zhang Yang said with a broken face, "I..."

"Are you going out or quiet?" The old man said, "You choose."

Hearing this, Zhang Yang had no choice but to sit on the side and shut his mouth. He didn't know what happened to the old man recently, as if he had changed into a different person.If it weren't for the familiar look that the other party showed occasionally, he would almost suspect that the old man had also been passed through.

"What hobbies does Quxi have?" The old man glanced at Zhang Yang after asking, but Zhang Yang didn't dare to interrupt.

Qu Xi said: "I usually like to play games, is this considered a hobby?"

"Forget it." The old man said: "People have no addictions and can't be friends with each other. It's good to love playing games, but you must also be vigilant about playing games and losing your mind."

"Yes." Qu Xi hurriedly said.

The scene was a bit weird for a while, Qu Xi watched the old man wait for him to continue to ask questions, but the other party seemed to be at a loss for words, and after thinking for a long time, he said awkwardly: "Zhang Yang doesn't usually bully you, does he?"

"He... is very kind to me." Qu Xi said truthfully: "Extremely kind."

"Well, that's good. A man has to take responsibility, and it's right to know that it's right to love someone." The old man said.

Zhang Yang: "..."

Qu Xi: "..."

At this moment, Zhang Yang suddenly realized something. Maybe the old man came to them not as he thought, to embarrass them or create problems.Maybe the other party just wanted to meet Quxi, and wanted to meet the future "daughter-in-law" as a parent, but Zhang Yang thought too much, and was full of hostility before entering the door.

"Okay, it's good." The old man probably couldn't think of any new topics, so he waved his hands to give up.

Seeing this, Zhang Yang suddenly said: "Dad, don't worry, Quxi and I are serious, and we will get the certificate after a while."

The old man had mentioned this casually before, but he was not surprised when he heard Zhang Yang say that, and nodded his head as approval.Qu Xi who was at the side was startled when he heard the words. Zhang Yang had never told him about this matter before, not even a marriage proposal, but decided to get married unilaterally.

This operation is really willful.

Zhang Yang also realized that he was a bit self-assertive, so he turned his head and gave Qu Xi a look, meaning to go out and explain later.Of course, Qu Xi couldn't say anything in front of the old man, so he could only sit quietly on the side.

"Let's go, let Lao Wu prepare a gift for you, remember to take it with you when you leave." After saying that, the old man pointed to a paper bag next to him, which contained a box, and Zhang Yang felt familiar , but I can't remember what it was.

The two got up, Zhang Yang picked up the paper bag and was about to leave, the old man said again: "Remember to arrange to meet Quxi's family some other day, otherwise it will be too impolite."

"Okay." Zhang Yang replied.

"You'd better visit in advance and say hello first." The old man said meaningfully.

The old man probably meant that what if Quxi's parents disagreed that their son found a boyfriend and wanted to beat him?It's better to have Zhang Yang sent to the door to be beaten, otherwise when the two families meet, the scene will be too embarrassing.

It was rare for Zhang Yang to understand the old man's "good intentions", and he didn't know what to say for a while.

After the two left, Old Wu came in and offered the old man a cup of hot coffee.The old man took a deep breath and said, "I'm really old, even my son probably doesn't know me anymore, you didn't see it, the way he looked at me just now was strange and cautious, for fear that I might have some conspiracy. "

"That's how you raised him since he was a child, making him cautious and suspicious in everything." Uncle Wu said, "But then again, he really didn't disappoint at all."

Zhang Yang's series of actions after returning to China were clean and neat, but without losing the principle.

Uncle Wu can see how satisfied the old man is.

"At first, I was thinking about practicing him again, and I didn't want him to go astray." The old man said, "But that night, I heard that his... car fell into a ravine and disappeared. If he can come back alive, let alone find a man, even if he finds an old man, I will not stop him."

Many things are just a momentary thought.

What the old man was originally obsessed with was to make Zhang Yang follow the path he thought was best.But what he thinks is good is obviously different from what Zhang Yang thinks is good.After almost losing Zhang Yang, he has completely looked away. As long as Zhang Yang is willing, what position does he have to stop him.

Uncle Wu couldn't help laughing and said: "Besides, that kid is really good."

"Well, if it's a matter of life and death, even I, as a father, can't do better if I ask myself." The old man said.

Uncle Wu smiled when he heard the words, and asked again: "Young Master...seems to be more irritable recently."

"Trying to murder his own brother, if it wasn't for father and son, I would have found someone to kill him..." The old man was halfway through, and sighed: "This matter is not negotiable, and keeping him alive is the bottom line , I can't let him have any chance to attack Zhang Yang."

Moreover, with Zhang Ji's vicious mind, if he really let the tiger go back to the mountain, the old man even felt that the other party would not be unable to do such a thing as killing his father.He couldn't be soft-hearted, for Zhang Yang and himself.

"There are all reliable people arranged there, so there will be no problems." Uncle Wu said: "The Xu family already knew about the fact that the second young master was almost killed, so he didn't try to come forward again. Presumably, that Miss Xu didn't have much affection for the eldest young master. point."

"It's all about using each other, naturally there is no affection." The old man said.

Uncle Wu nodded when he heard the words, and said nothing more.

At this point, Zhang Ji's end was settled, and Zhang Yang didn't even have time to do it himself, so the old man took the lead.But Zhang Yang asked himself, he couldn't do anything more ruthless than the old man, maybe he couldn't really kill someone.

On the way the two of them drove home, Qu Xi returned to the old man's attitude very dazed.

Zhang Yang himself couldn't figure it out, so he just said that before the old man repented, he quickly got the certificate.

"Marriage is such an important matter, and you have to make such a hasty decision?" Qu Xi turned to look at him: "It's too hasty."

Zhang Yang didn't think too much when he heard the words, and said, "I'm mainly afraid that the old man will sing one song after another, and after he sings this song, he will suddenly sing a stick to beat the mandarin ducks, and we will be in trouble, so hurry up It’s the safest thing to do.”

"Okay." Qu Xi said sullenly, "It's all up to you."

Zhang Yang was only interested in being happy, and didn't notice Qu Xi's little emotions.

After returning home, Zhang Yang locked himself in his study and made a phone call.He has no experience in such things as going abroad to obtain a certificate, and he has to find someone with experience to learn from it.At the same time, he also planned to give Quxi a surprise. This time he went out to spend his honeymoon and take Quxi on a round-the-world trip.

Qu Xi slumped on the sofa and chatted with Fang Yuan on WeChat, and Fang Yuan sent him a class schedule.

In the past few months, Quxi has asked for leave like crazy, almost forgetting that she is still a student.However, his school has always encouraged students to go out to take plays, which is completely opposite to the regular drama school, because the regular school teaches students during school hours, but the school in Quxi really can't teach anything, it can only let students Go out and touch yourself.

This Buddhist teaching method is very suitable for Quxi's current situation.

Fang Yuan said: "Now that you have won the International Best Actor Award, the school can't wait to give you your degree certificate in advance, and then mount a gold photo frame for you. I asked the counselor the other day, and he said that if you are busy, you don't need to report it specially. I can arrange make-up exams for you alone.”

"Then why did you send me the schedule?" Qu Xi asked.

"I thought you would be interested in a class." Fang Yuan said.

Qu Xi opened the class schedule and looked at it, but there was a class he was really interested in. He wanted to learn English.The experience of going abroad last time made him realize how important it is to master a foreign language in order to survive better in this era.But his English proficiency is almost zero, and he has to start learning from kindergarten courses.

"I don't have any courses I'm interested in." Qu Xi said, "And Zhang Yang won't let me go back to school, for fear that I will cause crowds in school. But before the final exam, he will find someone to tutor me, because if I don't take the exam, People will use it to blackmail you later.” These days, anything can become a black spot, and it’s hard to guard against.

The two chatted for a few more words, and Fang Yuan suddenly said, "Qu Xi, did you and your parents have a fight?"

"No, I haven't contacted them all this time, why would they quarrel." Qu Xi said.

"There was no quarrel, why didn't you contact them?" Fang Yuan said, "Your mother called me yesterday, saying that you haven't responded to messages and your phone is turned off. She is a little worried about you."

Qu Xi was startled when he heard the words, and agreed casually.After he hung up the phone, he checked his phone, only to realize that the secondary card had been shut down.Because he got a new mobile phone number before, the old mobile phone number has been useless, so he didn't think about charging the phone bill, and when the shutdown message was sent, he probably didn't notice it, so he missed it.

It turns out that the old card has been shut down, no wonder I haven't received any calls or messages for so long.

Qu Xi recharged the old mobile phone card, then thought about it, and switched the WeChat ID.

The old WeChat account belonged to the original boy, and Qu Xi has never used it, nor logged in again.I suddenly remembered to log in today, but found more than a dozen unread messages from "Mom".

The first one was sent more than four months ago, asking if Quxi would go home during the summer vacation.

The second one is just after the summer vacation, ask Quxi if she is busy?

Qu Xi checked the phone information, and found that it was around this time that he received a text message from his family. He replied that he was filming on the set, and the other party replied that he took care of himself and didn't say anything else.

The interval between the third and the second is about a week, which is to tell Quxi not to work too hard when filming.

The fourth article asked Quxi if he had enough money to spend, and said that he had paid a little more in Quxi card, so that he should not save too much.

Qu Xi checked the balance of the bank card. He had hardly touched this card since he was with Zhang Yang, and there was an extra 5000 yuan in it. It should have been called at that time.

Qu Xi glanced at the last message again, it was sent yesterday, and the content was to ask why Qu Xi hadn't responded to the message.Probably this message has not been responded to, so I called Fang Yuan.

After reading more than a dozen unread messages, Qu Xi suddenly felt a little sour, and at the same time felt very guilty.Because of his negligence and carelessness, he put this care and bond on hold for several months, and he even worried that his parents had no feelings for him, and he would be embarrassed when confronted, but in fact, the other party has been properly caring for him This son, probably because he was afraid of disturbing him, that's why he didn't pursue and beat him all the time.

I waited until now to call Fangyuan, probably because I was really worried.

After Zhang Yang made the phone call, he booked the itinerary. When he came out of the study, he saw Qu Xi standing in front of the window, looking a little lonely from his back.When he was about to walk over, he saw the young man wipe his eyes with his hand.

What's going on here?

Zhang Yang was a little worried, walked over and hugged him from behind and asked, "What's the matter baby?"

Qu Xi was still suppressing his emotions at first, but when Zhang Yang asked him such a question, he suddenly felt very sad. He turned around and put his arms around Zhang Yang's neck, tears streaming down his face.Feeling the warm liquid in his neck, Zhang Yang couldn't help but tighten his heart, and put a little more effort into his hands to hug him tighter.

The boy cried for a long time, but Zhang Yang didn't dare to speak rashly, so he just hugged him.Only when he felt that the person in his arms was almost crying did Zhang Yang let go of him a little.

"You can go back with me and have a look." Qu Xi was still lying on Zhang Yang's shoulder, with a strong nasal voice.

Zhang Yang's thoughts changed sharply, and it took him a long time to realize where the "going back" was going. Not long ago, he and Qu Xi had discussed the topic of parents. Qu Xi wanted to go back to his hometown?

That's right, I'm getting married soon, I have to meet my father-in-law and mother-in-law first!
