I heard they all love me

Chu Li has been with Jiang Xingjian for a long time, and has always positioned his relationship with Jiang Xingjian as "employment". He has always only stuck to the boundaries he drew, and refused to take the initiative to look outside.

In the eyes of outsiders, the bond between the two is "Jiang Xingzhe", but for themselves, the topic of "Jiang Xingzhe" is more like a taboo.Occasionally Jiang Xingjian mentioned it, and Chu Li listened.Jiang Xingjian didn't mention it, and Chu Li never asked.Chu Li didn't seem to have the slightest curiosity about "Jiang Xingzhe". Although he was slightly agitated a few times, most of the time he was indifferent to "Jiang Xingzhe", and seemed to passively accept everything brought by the name Jiang Xingzhe "heritage".

This is actually not normal.No one would not be curious about people who are so similar to themselves, not to mention that on the surface Chu Li followed Jiang Xingjian for this reason.The environment he lives in, the people he knows, the things he contacts...all are inextricably linked with Jiang Xingzhe.Even if he was no longer interested, it was impossible for him not to ask, but Chu Li never seemed to care about Jiang Xingzhe's past.And Jiang Xingjian also acquiesced in Chu Li's attitude, turning a blind eye to his various unreasonable actions.

But in his heart, Jiang Xingjian was not disappointed.When a person has an abscess on his body, he needs to be squeezed, opened, and the pain passes before heals.If you whitewash the abscess and put it away as if nothing had happened, even if it looks innocent on the outside, the inside will rot little by little, and there will be a day when the abscess will never come back.

He knew that Chu Li had a heart knot about the past, and he had been waiting for Chu Li to ask, he could ask anything, but he didn't expect that Chu Li would ask this first by mistake.

There was a brief silence in the conference room, and Jiang Xingjian considered what to say to Chu Li.This question is bound to involve the previous dispute between him and Xing Zhe, but at this moment there are some things to say, and some things need a more suitable opportunity.

He thought for a while and said, "It was my decision to stop the "Pear Garden" project." Facing Chu Li's pretended calm eyes, he continued: "Before Xingzhe's accident, I had some disagreements with him. Reluctance is the source. After Xingzhe's accident, I was not in a good mood, thinking that without "Pear Garden", there would be no future, so I stopped it altogether."

This incident may sound unreasonable, but at the beginning after Chu Li's accident, Jiang Xingjian really vented his anger on everything around him.Not only "Pear Garden", but also Qin Mu, Zhao Yunsheng... and even himself, he felt that they were the murderers who caused Chu Li's tragedy.During that time, he was critical of himself, and also of all the people around him who were related to Jiang Xingzhe.It's just that most people didn't understand the reason for his abnormality, and only a few people keenly connected his abnormality with Jiang Xingzhe.

After he finished speaking, he waited for Chu Li to respond. Chu Li's eyes wandered up and down the script, recalling the conflict with Jiang Xingjian before his death, and finally couldn't hold back and asked: "You said that you and Jiang Xingzhe had an unpleasant fight because of "The Pear Garden", did you?" what happened?"

Jiang Xingjian smiled bitterly: "You know that Xingzhe likes Qin Mu, right?"

Chu Li nodded.

Jiang Xingjian explained: "When the Jiang family first planned to shoot "Pear Garden", Qin Mu wanted the role of Yunlin, but Zhao Yunsheng didn't like him. In the end, Xingzhe went to intercede for him, but Zhao Yunsheng pushed him back. Seeing that Xing Zhe wanted to take the position of Mr. Xie, I did not agree."

He finished what happened at the beginning in a few words, but Chu Li knew how much courage he had mustered in the middle of it.For the first time in his life, he wanted to fight for something, not only for Qin Mu, but also because he wanted to prove himself.Feng Chen's memories came to life one by one, and the emotions of unwillingness and powerlessness seemed to stir in his heart again.He looked at Jiang Xingjian seriously and asked, "Why?"

Looking at Chu Li's clear eyes, Jiang Xingjian seemed to have returned to the afternoon in Jiang's study.That was the last time he and Jiang Xingzhe met, and Jiang Xingzhe also asked him why?However, the misunderstanding between the two of them was too deep at the beginning, Jiang Xingzhe didn't have the patience to listen to his explanation at all, and he was in a state of desperation because of the Xie family's affairs, so he didn't have the heart to explain anything at all.

He said softly: "Xing Zhe's decision is too impulsive, I have to be responsible for the companies under Jiang's."

This reason is only on the surface, and the deeper reason he can't say is because of jealousy.Jealous of Jiang Xingzhe's willingness to do everything for Qin Mu, that's why he strongly opposed it.

Jiang Xingjian didn't know whether Chu Li could accept this reason, but more reasons are simply not suitable to say now.He sat there quietly, tensing up unconsciously.It seemed to go back to the moment before my grandmother was critically ill.He stood at the door of the ward, bombarded by the news he had just learned, his mind went blank, but he still had to pretend that nothing had happened, waiting for the doctor to pronounce his grandma's fate on him.Time passed, and this time the person who pronounced the sentence was replaced by Chu Li, as if the sentence was his fate.

The conference room fell into silence again, as if it had been a long time and it seemed only a moment later, Chu Li deliberately avoided Jiang Xingjian's sight, looked down at the script and said, "Actually...you did nothing wrong in this matter."

He said it reluctantly, but he knew in his heart that Jiang Xingjian was right.When he misunderstood Jiang Xingjian, he always felt that Jiang Xingjian was making things difficult for him.But now from an objective point of view, Jiang Xingjian did nothing wrong.His behavior at that time was more like a child clamoring for a toy, very unreasonable.Even if Jiang Xingjian agrees, the members of the board of directors may not agree.What's more, it was not only Jiang Xingjian who stood in front of him, but also Xie Yuanxun who was sitting in that position.Whoever put him and Xie Yuanxun together would probably not choose him.

After thinking about this, Chu Li felt a little depressed, and he heard Jiang Xingjian say softly, "No, I did something wrong too."

Chu Li raised his head in surprise, Jiang Xingjian looked at him with focused eyes, and said in a low voice: "I didn't have a good attitude towards Xing Zhe at the time, in fact, I should explain it to him patiently. But when something happened to Xie's family, I didn't think about anything else for a while."

"What happened to Xie's family?" Chu Li asked subconsciously, after asking what he realized, he remedied indiscriminately, "Xie's family is Mr. Xie's family, right?"

Jiang Xingjian nodded, as if he didn't see Chu Li's abnormality, and said, "Grandma was critically ill several times during that time, and she has been in the hospital for emergency treatment."

"sorry."

Chu Li said awkwardly that he didn't know why he had to apologize to Jiang Xingjian, and instinctively felt that he was wrong about this matter.

Jiang Xingjian smiled slightly, raised his hand and rubbed Chu Li's hair, and said, "It's okay, grandma was fine later, and now she is recovering well."

"Oh."

Chu Li didn't continue to ask, and turned his attention back to the script.After he turned over two pages of the script, the question went back to the beginning: "Do you really think I can play Yunlin?"

Jiang Xingjian nodded and said "Yes", "But..." He said, "I only have the right to make suggestions. Whether you can persuade Zhao Yunsheng depends on Xiaoli yourself in the end."

Chu Li muttered: "...At first he didn't even like Qin Mu."

Jiang Xingjian laughed lightly, hinting at Chu Li: "There is a certain amount of investment in the "Pear Garden" project. If Zhao Yunsheng wants to fight for the extra part, it depends on whether he can satisfy the company."

Chu Li: "..."

……

Jiang Xingjian's efficiency was astonishing. He gave Chu Li the script of "Empty Dreams in Liyuan" the day before, and told him to take him to meet Zhao Yunsheng the next day.

Chu Li just stayed up late to finish reading the script. Although he had read the story before, after all, it has been a while and he can't remember many details.Now I just managed to write down the general plot, but I have to go to see Zhao Yunsheng.This is simply like a student who has just finished reading the textbook and is about to go to the examination room before he has time to review.

"Is it too urgent?" Chu Li couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Jiang Xingjian asked instead, "What do you think of this story?"

Chu Li said truthfully, "It's pretty good."

Jiang Xingjian nodded slightly: "There are quite a few people staring at this script. Since it has just been restarted and many people haven't received the news, let's fight for it quickly. Otherwise, when more people know about it, some things will be difficult to operate. .”

Zhao Yunsheng is different from Ma Zhiming. If Ma Zhiming's investor said he wanted to put someone in, he would definitely welcome him with his hands up.But if he did this to Zhao Yunsheng's investors, he could just slam his face and leave.This is why Jiang Xingjian said that he only has the right to make suggestions, and the final decision is still in Zhao Yunsheng's hands.At most he can use the company to exert pressure, but in fact the key still depends on Chu Li.

Jiang Xingjian comforted and said: "Zhao Yunsheng is different from other directors. He doesn't look at whether you have acting skills. He is too conceited. He thinks that even if you are a pig, he can train your acting skills. What he looks at is you and the characters." The degree of fit, and the aura he thinks."

The reason why Jiang Xingjian asked Chu Li to leave was because the script was really good. It can be said that he restarted the project mostly for Chu Li.When the second "Pear Garden" project was first approved, Zhao Yunsheng murmured in private that Jiang Xingzhe had a good appearance, and if an ordinary person was trained well, he could play Yunlin, but he looked a little silly, and he was so stubborn in Qin Mu's crooked tree. hanged from a tree around his neck.

Now that it's Chu Li, the face is still the same, at least there is no need to worry about the appearance.As for the others...Jiang Xingjian is probably a beauty in the eye of a beholder, so Chu Li thinks it's good no matter how you look at it.

After the two packed up, Jiang Xingjian drove Chu Li to Zhao Yunsheng's house.Zhao Yunsheng's home is located in a well-known community in Haicheng, which is famous for its sky-high villas.Zhao Yunsheng bought one of them when the community first opened, and he decorated it elegantly with his own hands.Probably for this reason, he usually likes to entertain guests at home, but it does not include people like Jiang Xingjian who bring Chu Liming to the door with "unspoken rules".

Seeing Chu Li, Zhao Yunsheng snorted softly, and reluctantly opened the door to let the two of them in.Jiang Xingjian knew his temper, and was afraid that Chu Li would be wronged. He was about to turn around to comfort Chu Li when he suddenly heard Ning Weixue's voice: "Xing Jian?"

Jiang Xingjian followed the voice and found that Zhao Yunsheng already had guests at home.Ning Weixue was sitting on the sofa and looking at him with a smile.Half a person away, Ning Weidong gave Chu Li a gloomy and expressionless look, then turned back coldly.

Ning Weixue also glanced at Chu Li, guessed the reason why Jiang Xingjian came, and said with a smile: "So Xingjian, you are the unwelcome guest that Director Zhao said."

Jiang Xingjian didn't care about his teasing, she just raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why are you here?"

Ning Weixue gave up the seat of the sofa with a smile, and said, "Isn't it because Director Zhao has been resting at home and wants to invite Zhao to lead the mountain? Only then did Director Zhao say that "Pear Garden" has restarted again. What? , has anyone decided?"

Jiang Xingjian motioned to Chu Li to sit first, and will put a distance between him and Ning Weidong, and then said: "The actor's decision is in the hands of Director Zhao, and I don't know if you ask me."

"Huh!" Zhao Yunsheng, the owner of the room, snorted at the right time, obviously feeling that Jiang Xingjian was talking nonsense.If he really wanted to be as innocent as he said, what happened to Chu Li who was sitting by the side?

Ning Weixue smiled to smooth things over: "Director Zhao has a nice new painting on the wall, let's go and see it?" Jiang Xingjian sitting here will only make Zhao Yunsheng in a weak position.It's better for them to leave and leave Chu Li, but the weak one becomes Chu Li.Maybe Zhao Yunsheng could feel better.

Jiang Xingjian understood what Ning Weixue meant, whispered to Chu Li, got up and walked aside.But he wasn't too far away, after all, Ning Weidong was still there.

"What?" Jiang Xingjian gestured to Ning Weidong.

Ning Weixue smiled wryly: "Aunt Lin has a birthday in a few more days, and she said she would send Weidong away after her birthday. No one can look after him if he stays at home, so I can only take him by my side."

Jiang Xingjian nodded to show that he knew, and then talked about other things.

The two were whispering here, and at the other end of the living room, Zhao Yunsheng pulled out the script and looked at Chu Li with a cold face: "Are you familiar with the script?"

Chu Li was not wary of him asking such a question as soon as he came up, and nodded slightly.

Zhao Yunsheng's expression was a little slow. He had no opinion on Chu Li, but just like Jiang Xingjian angered him because of Jiang Xingzhe, he also angered Chu Li because of Jiang Xingjian.Everyone in the circle knows that Zhao Yunsheng is most annoyed by Chu Li's relationship.It's just that he could not give Jiang Xingzhe face at the beginning, but he had to worry about Jiang Xingjian's attitude.Fortunately, Chu Li is not the kind of person who is annoying at first glance, and his appearance fits his idea of ​​characters, so he decided to give Chu Li a chance.

Zhao Yunsheng thought about it and said, "It's good that you are familiar with the script. Don't you want the role of Yunlin? There is a scene in which Yunlin learns how to bark like a dog. You can learn it for me now."

Chu Li: "..."

Speaking of which, there is such a scene in the script, but strictly speaking, this Yunlin is not that Yunlin.Because the plot spans a long time, Yunlin's roles are mainly concentrated in two age groups, when he is eight or nine years old and when he is an adult.And the scene of learning how to bark like a dog is just Xiao Yunlin's part, and has nothing to do with the adult Yunlin.Zhao Yunsheng was deliberately making things difficult for others.

Before Chu Li could speak, Ning Weidong, who was sitting beside him, snorted first, and glanced sideways at Chu Li, with an expression of not wanting to be beaten.Chu Li hadn't looked at Ning Weidong since he came in, but now seeing Ning Weidong's ridicule written on his face naked, the little flame in his heart called "strengthening qi" rushed up half a person's height.

He was really annoyed at seeing Ning Weidong, and felt that Jiang Xingjian had done his best for him. If he was embarrassed by Zhao Yunsheng and retreated, he seemed a little sorry for Jiang Xingjian.Besides, it's okay to learn how to bark a few times, since not many people heard it anyway.Following Ning Weidong's example, he glanced back sideways, glared at Ning Weidong unhappily, cleared his throat with a cough twice, and yelled a few times in accordance with Zhao Yunsheng's request as if nothing had happened.Chu Li gave his behavior a lofty meaning, calling it a dedication to art.

He had just finished studying when Ning Weidong stood up suddenly and looked at him in astonishment.As if thinking of something, Ning Weidong suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Chu Li's T-shirt and gritted his teeth: "Screw a few more times."

Chu Li: "..."

He thought of something belatedly, his brows furrowed imperceptibly.
