Improv [Rebirth]

Chen Yan didn't quite understand why Qi Andong was so angry. Did he still feel that talking about money would hurt his feelings?But a person like him, who has been in the entertainment industry for more than ten years, has never seen anything, so why is this?

He thought about it, and suddenly his phone rang, and he received a text message.

The text message was sent by Assistant Lin Xiao, to the effect that the script has been received. Mr. Lin is busy with the post-production work of the new film recently, and will read it when he has time.Chen Yan thanked him, and just as he put down his phone, he received another call from Ni Zhengqing.

"What did you say to Brother Dong? He's not in a good mood."

He didn't want to talk about this kind of thing, but Ni Zhengqing was not only Qi Andong's manager, he took care of almost all of Qi Andong's affairs, and since he asked, Chen Yan couldn't resist.

He told Ni Zhengqing what happened just now.

"Is the money Dong Ge gave you not enough?" There was no contempt in his tone, calm and calm as always.

"He... only gave me a card, which is used to pay Mrs. Zhong's salary, buy things and so on."

The other end was silent for a while, and then said: "He asked me to transfer money to that card every month. That amount, I think, is just too much for household use."

Chen Yan bit his lips: "He didn't tell me anything."

Ni Zhengqing explained a few words, saying that he would explain to Qi Andong.

Chen Yan hung up the phone, pondered for a while, and made sure that Qi Andong hadn't told him anything. He checked the mailbox, and the text messages between him and Qi Andong were also about daily trivial matters and ambiguous flirting.Continue to scroll up, until a few months ago, I finally saw this one:

"The crew has dinner at night, and if you don't come back for dinner... I'll send you the money. If you need anything, go buy it and take care of yourself."

At the end, I mentioned a sentence, but Qi Andong's text messages were only read roughly, and he probably ignored them directly.

Chen Yan put on his clothes and went downstairs to check the bills. In addition to small expenses, there was a large amount of income once a month.This card was tied to Qi Andong's mobile phone, he didn't know the balance change, and he didn't bother to check it.It's one thing to be so short of money that you're willing to be a slave to someone else, it's another to put your ideas on someone else's head.

"Ding—" This time it was Qi Andong's text message.

"In the future, it will be settled monthly, and the amount will depend on your performance."

This is what Ni Zhengqing got after reporting to him?When Chen Yan closed his phone, he was probably already a greedy villain in Qi Andong's heart.

Qi Andong flicked his phone and drank a glass of wine.

The food stall he was at was not crowded at the moment, and no one noticed that Actor Qi was sitting on a red plastic chair missing arms and legs between toilet paper and beer bottles eating shrimp, with his arms still propped on the grease-stained table.

If Chen Yan saw him like this, he would also be shocked, and sighed that his acting skills were so poor.

Although Qi Andong had a bad temper when he was with him, he was always personable and only used the best and most expensive things. Chen Yan once joked that he was probably the least valuable in the room.

Qi Andong was furious at this time, he was not only angry that Chen Yan opened his mouth to ask him for money like a duck, and smashed the image of the proud and beautiful young man in his memory; The client does not pay the client.

He has raised so many people in real or false ways, and none of them broke up with him because of his stinginess. Whether they coveted his resources or money, they would all praise him for his generosity.Only Chen Yan, he can be said to be the best to Chen Yan, but Chen Yan spoke as if he had treated him badly.

He thought to himself that there was a lot of money on the card, but Chen Yan, a poor student who just graduated from school, didn't think it was enough. Could it be that other people came from somewhere to compare him?

The more he thought about it, the more outrageous he became, and he raised his head and took another sip of wine.A hand reached out from the opposite side and snatched his cup away.

"Okay, isn't it just a man, you still care so much?" Min Rufeng drank the remaining wine with a smile.

"He said that in front of me, but he didn't know how to say it to the outside world. Will anyone still be willing to follow me after spreading the word?"

"Are you worried about this? That's not easy to deal with. I'll take someone to scare him. Or you can let someone from the Han Gang go. Isn't Han Xing really wanting to hook up with you recently?"

"Don't, don't," Qi Andong frowned and waved his hands, "It's not that bad, he's quite obedient."

"Really, seeing how you're drowning your sorrows with alcohol, I thought you really liked him."

To his best brother Qi Andong, he didn't hide it: "I liked him very much at first, do you remember him, the one I told you about last year."

"Ah? I don't remember... How many people have you told me, and I don't know which one you are really interested in and which one is just a joke."

"Oh," Qi Andong patted the other party's arm dissatisfied, "That's it, Mr. Lu's student!"

"He, you should have said it earlier. You are quite fast, and you are not afraid of Mr. Lu scolding you."

"The old man doesn't come out of the mountains very much now. He plans to retire this year to grow flowers and play Tai Chi at home. If no one talks too much, there is no chance to know about it. Chen Yan told him only after he was crazy."

"His name is Chen Yan? Actually, don't be too angry about this. It's not like you've never been poor, and you don't know what it's like to be poor? At that time, we couldn't do anything for money. Everyone slept with you. No one is allowed to ask about the salary." Min Rufeng remembered Qi Andong repeating Chen Yan's original words just now, and laughed, "How is my salary calculated? He can really ask."

"Just a fool."

"That's right, he's as shrewd as Boss Qi." Min Rufeng cupped his hands pretendingly.

"Boss Min is even better." Qi Andong also clasped his hands back, the two looked at each other, and both laughed loudly, feeling a lot more relaxed.

After being quiet for a while, Qi Andong said again: "I really liked him before. The first time I saw him, I felt that a person like him must be noble. Unlike me, he used to do anything for money. He is so proud... until now I still don't like him. I don't understand how I could look away, it's like a different person."

"Life is hard, Dongzi. Those with a noble nature will be forced to go astray. Children from poor families have never seen such a colorful world, let alone survive and live. Don't you too? You are not born to be a gangster Yes, when you hacked people with a knife and exchanged your life for money, it was also for a meal."

"Until I went to act later." Qi Andong smiled.

"Yeah, they also said that you are talented and love acting. Who knew that you were only doing it for the few dollars at the beginning? At the beginning, you continued to hang around while acting. It was not until the day you could support yourself by acting that you completely stopped helping. get away."

"Because I know something like this won't last long."

"You are smarter than me, and you can see clearly. It was only after I met Xinyi and Yanyan that I thought of quitting. Now that I want to wash my hands in a golden basin, I still have to rely on your money and effort..."

"Afeng," Qi Andong stopped his words, "You helped me block the knife and saved my life."

"Yeah, if it weren't for the fact that I was your savior, I wouldn't dare to beat and scold you now." Min Rufeng laughed.

"If I don't fight back, it's because of Yanyan's face, it has nothing to do with you."

"Go, don't worry about my family Yanyan, you like children and give birth to one by yourself."

"I would like to, but no one gave birth to me."

"I believe you have a ghost." Min Rufeng scolded him.

"Really, what's the point of having a child with someone you don't like. I'm not like you. I met my sister-in-law early."

"Have you not liked anyone in so many years? There are so many handsome men and beauties in the circle, you don't even look down on them?"

"The more you look at people, the better your vision."

"Yo, didn't you just say that you liked that little love, the one who made you angry and drank too much?"

"That's the love of a lover, and it's not that I really want to marry back as a wife. Besides, he can't give me a Yanyan."

"I'm talking about Dongzi. From what you said, isn't this just an ordinary little screenwriter? What do you like about him? He's so good-looking?"

Qi Andong was silent for a while, and asked him, "Do you remember fighting over a little girl when we were young?"

"Remember," Min Rufeng recalled the past as a teenager, and showed nostalgia, "We have never seen such a beautiful little girl, wearing a white dress, with her head raised high, just like the fairies on TV, her eyes don't look at anyone. .Not just us, but the whole gang fought for her, and she became the boss's girlfriend."

"Yes, she became the boss's girlfriend, and I was jealous for a long time. Every time they passed me, I stood up straight; she was alone next to me, and I did something stupid to get her attention. That It was too naive. But the first time I saw Chen Yan, it was like seeing that little girl back then. He was proud, beautiful, and lovable. Everyone doted on him, and he beat and scolded me back then. Lu always treated him like his own son. I thought his family was well off, until he was with me and said that his family was poor, I couldn’t believe it, thinking he was lying to me.”

"I asked Ni Zhengqing to ask, but guess what? He is really poor and in debt."

"Being in debt? What's the matter? Don't put yourself in it."

"No, I'm not stupid. I didn't investigate his family's affairs. To investigate the details, I need to use other means. I'm not interested in him for that."

Qi Andong snatched the wine glass back: "But you said, how could a child from a poor family grow up like him?"

Min Rufeng lifted his face and said seriously: "Dongzi, you have to remember that you are no longer under anyone's control. No one will make you work hard, and no one will dare to steal your things. You are the one standing on the highest place now." One, you have to remember, he's not something he can't get."

"I remember, Ah Feng, I remember. You have a wife, a child, a career, and I'm rich and famous. Everything has changed for the better."

"Yes," Min Rufeng smiled, "This food stall has been around for more than ten years, and we also ate the leftovers on the table from the leftovers on the ground."

"Get out early," Qi Andong said, "Don't worry my sister-in-law all the time, there is Yanyan."

"Almost, it will be over in a while," Min Rufeng put the peeled shrimp on Qi Andong's plate, "In a while, I will be a clean businessman, and I have to thank you."

"What thanks do we have?"

Min Rufeng joked with him: "Don't, you are so angry asking you for money for that little lover, who knows if you will come to me to collect debts someday."

"I'm not angry about money... Besides, how can he compare with you."

"That's right," Min Rufeng nodded in agreement, "but if you really like him, just tell him clearly and don't make yourself uncomfortable. It's he who wants something from you, not what you owe him."

Qi Andong sipped his wine and nodded.
