Later, I paid the CEO's ex-husband

There will be a foreman on the construction site responsible for distributing money, and although Guanghua Film and Television City is a huge center of the film and television industry base, it can also be said to be another form of "construction site".

And the person who is responsible for paying the wages of the "workers" - that is, the extras and extras who travel across the various studios every day - is Lao Xue.

Lao Xue is in his fifties this year, but no one knows the exact fifties. He has a half-bald head, a flushed face, always growls when he speaks, and always looks a little impatient.Of course, Lao Xue's impatience is only towards the "workers", because in his opinion, those "workers" came to ask him for money, "they are debt collectors."

At this time, Lao Xue stared at his original pair of small mung bean eyes, as if he had heard something absurd.He took the cigarette from his mouth, exhaled, and pointed at Chu Ruo in front of him with his finger: "Say it again?"

Chu Ruo stayed patiently in the hospital for two days, but couldn't stay any longer.Ren Chuming was like a ghost, always lingering after him, and also like a mute, just staring at him quietly, making Chu Ruo feel hairy.He felt more and more that Ren Chuming after two years seemed to be a different person. Although he was still handsome and upright on the outside, he was dead inside, with no vitality left.

Chu Ruo didn't know why he became like this. It was clear that two years ago, both Chu Nantian and the Chu family collapsed as he wished, and they completely collapsed. They will not be able to make a comeback in the next 80 or [-] years. But why did Ren Chuming still see no joy?

Even the spirit and sunshine that belonged to Ren Chuming, which had made Chu Ruo secretly blush, disappeared completely at this moment.When Chu Ruo met Ren Chuming again this time, at first he thought that he would fall in love with him again, but seeing Ren Chuming's sinister and serious appearance now, he just felt bored.

He has been in the Chu family for more than [-] years, and he has seen many such faces, and he has long been tired.

So he took advantage of the time when Ren Chuming went out to answer the phone, slipped out of the room with his clothes, changed in any bathroom in the hospital, and then quickly and swaggered out from the hospital door.He had no money with him, but fortunately the hospital was only two kilometers away from Guanghua, so Chu Ruo could easily go back on foot.

As soon as he returned to Guanghua, he went to a small bungalow where Lao Xue often lived, and seeing that Lao Xue was really there, he told the matter.

It is inevitable that he stutters when he speaks. First, his health is not fully recovered, and he is always out of breath when speaking; second, he has never asked anyone for money before. Two years ago, he still gave people money, even if it was In the past two years of embarrassment, Lao Xue gave him the money on time every time.

This was the first time he asked Lao Xue for money, and he asked for 30 yuan.

Old Xue extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray, and pointed at Chu Ruo with his yellowed finger: "Do you really think I've been taken advantage of? Why do you ask me for 30 yuan? And advance the salary? A group performer also said What salary advances... Let me ask you, what if you take the money and leave tomorrow? Where can I find someone like you? Do you think I'm stupid? "

Chu Ruo didn't talk to people very much in the past two years, and he didn't have any lines when he was a group performer, so he could respond with a "huh", and he was the only one when he returned to the cabin, and because he was blocked for a long time, he didn't speak.It was only after talking to Ren Chuming in the hospital these few days that his articulation became smoother.And he already had his own way of dealing with other people's anger and questioning, and this time was no exception.

Without any compulsion, he looked at Lao Xue softly, and said slowly: "Brother Xue, I didn't mean that, and neither did I. I won't just take the money and leave."

Old Xue waved his hand, there was no room for compromise: "Don't say it. I saw you alone, and your body was injured. It was very pitiful, so I treated you well-you see, I lowered my voice to others. Talk? Don’t take my good face for granted, and feel ashamed yourself. Ask around, who will advance the salary of the group performers? Let alone 30, I will not advance even 100 yuan. Who doesn’t know that group performances are Migrant workers? If you can work in Guanghua today, you can work in Huaguang tomorrow, can you keep them? Can’t keep them!”

"I don't want yours for nothing."

"Hey," Old Xue stared at Chu Ruo as if looking at a novelty, "You still want to bargain with me? Come on, tell me, what do you want in exchange? What can you bargain with me?"

Chu Ruo gritted her teeth, stretched her hand into the collar, and quickly pulled a milky white pendant out of the collar.

He tore off the pendant as if he had no regrets, put it in his palm and handed it out.The pendant still had his body temperature, but the chest that had been warmed by the pendant had already cooled down.

He said: "Brother Xue, you have sharp eyes, so you naturally know how much this pendant is worth." Chu Ruo knew whether Xue Bie had any hobbies, and he loved to buy antiques. It can be seen that the thing is good, and the accuracy rate is as high as 80.00%.Because of this ability, Lao Xue more or less freed up a lot of money.The reason why Chu Ruo came to him was because she knew that he was good at this and that he was an expert.

And he himself happened to have a bargaining chip that could make Lao Xue interested.

Old Xue was indeed attracted by the pendant.He bent down, squinted his eyes and looked at Chu Ruo holding the pendant, straightened up after a while, held it up with his thumb and index finger, inspected it again, and then turned his suspicious eyes to Chu Ruo : "Where did you get this pendant?"

"My family gave it to me."

"Looking at the color, it's a long time ago—at least it must be from the period of the Republic of China." Old Xue handed the pendant back to Chu Ruo, looking at him, "It's more than 30."

Chu Ruo didn't answer: "This pendant, brother Xue, if you like it, you can take it."

"Didn't your family give you this?"

Chu Ruo twitched her lips: "My family is gone. Now I'm waiting for the 30 to save my friend."

Lao Xue held the pendant in front of his eyes again, looked at it for a while, and finally turned to Chu Ruo: "Then this is not considered an advance payment? You give me the pendant, and I will give you the money. Is it clear? At that time, you have to leave or keep it. , whatever you want. Is this the reason?”

Chu Ruo never looked at the pendant in Lao Xue's hand, nodded: "That's the truth."

"That's fine." Old Xue said, "I can give you the money right now, just wait." Then he walked around behind the table, put the pendant on it, and started rummaging through the box to find the check.

Chu Ruo glanced at the pendant at this moment.The pendant was quietly lying in a pile of toilet paper and cigarette cases under the sun, but it was always full of luster.When he thought that it no longer belonged to him, he felt a sudden pain in his heart, so he quickly moved his eyes to the door again, and then saw Ren Chuming who was exuding a faint anger.

He took a step back in fright, and couldn't take his eyes off Ren Chuming for a while.Ren Chuming also saw him, but he only glanced at him, then strode in and walked straight to the table.

As soon as Lao Xue found the check, he saw a tall man appearing, frowning: "What are you doing?!"

Ren Chuming silently held the pendant in his hand without even looking at Lao Xue: "This pendant is not for sale."

Old Xue said "hey" and was unhappy: "Who are you? If you say you won't sell it, you won't sell it? It's not your thing!" Turning to Chu Ruo, "Hey, don't bow your head, Xiao Chu, you didn't want this pendant. Sell ​​it? What's going on with this guy now?"

Chu Ruo walked over and stretched out his hand to snatch the pendant from Ren Chuming's hand, but Ren Chuming quickly let go and Ren Churuo easily took it away.Chu Ruo didn't expect it to be so smooth, she paused, and then put it on Lao Xue's desk: "He can't make the decision—sell."

Ren Chuming picked up the pendant again just as Chu Ruo had just put it on the table, this time holding it tightly in his palm.He stared at Chu Ruo and asked, "I can't make the decision?"

Lao Xue put down the check and waved his hands forward: "I don't want it anymore, is it okay? Really, I've never seen anything like this. Go, go, go!"

Chu Ruo was a little anxious, he wanted to snatch the pendant, but this time Ren Chuming didn't let him snatch it, instead he wrapped his big hands around his wrist, restraining him and not letting him move.Chu Ruo stared up at Ren Chuming: "Let go, give it back to me!"

Ren Chuming stood still: "As long as you don't sell it, I will return it to you."

"This is my thing. I can dispose of it as I want, and you can't control it."

Ren Chuming shook his head lightly: "It's not just yours." He turned to Lao Xue whose face had become very ugly, nodded, and said, "Thank you for taking care of Chu Ruo these days."

Old Xue heard that this was wrong, and frowned: "What do you mean? Chu Ruo is not coming?"

"Come!" Chu Ruo shouted, and then suddenly coughed violently, her hands were still in Ren Chuming's confinement, but her body was shaking like leaves blown by the autumn wind.

Lao Xue hurriedly poured him a glass of water, Ren Chuming let go of him, stroked his back with one hand, patted him up and down gently, and picked up the water glass with the other hand, and handed it to Chu Ruo: "Drink water."

While coughing, Chu Ruo hid the water glass and wanted to grab the pendant.Ren Chuming's eyes darkened, and he threw the pendant out the door vigorously.

"I'd rather throw it away than let you sell it." Ren Chuming whispered in the ear of Chu Ruo, who was coughing harder.

Old Xue sat down, seeing the treasure worth millions being thrown away so easily, he couldn't stand up.

"Chu Ruo will not come to Guanghua from tomorrow, right?"

"I won't do it today." Ren Chuming patted Chu Ruo's back lightly, and answered Lao Xue while helping him to relax.

Old Xue nodded and didn't stay.Group performers are cheap labor, with high mobility, and Chu Ruo is the most stable one. He has been in Guanghua for two years, so it is not surprising to know that Chu Ruo is going to leave this time.After thinking about it, he still took out an envelope from the cabinet and handed it to Chu Ruo: "This is Brother Xue's kindness. Although it is not 30, it is enough for you to eat."

Chu Ruo was blushing from coughing, and finally calmed down, so she let Chu Ming help him stop his work in Guanghua, and seeing that Lao Xue had taken it seriously, and even took out the severance pay, he broke away in a panic. Ren Chuming put his hands on the table and said anxiously: "I'm still coming!"

However, Lao Xue seemed to be scared: "I won't let you start working when you come." He looked at Ren Chuming behind Chu Ruo, and the meaning was self-evident.

Chu Ruo fell silent.He knew what Lao Xue was afraid of.

Lao Xue is the "foreman" of their group performances, assigning them work, supervising their start of work, and paying them money.But Lao Xue has a principle that every group performer who works under him must abide by, that is, they should not touch the door with some unclear relationship.

You can have unclear relationships before, but those relationships can't be touched by Guanghua. If something happens, it's Lao Xue who will be held accountable.

Liu Jun was the buddy of one of Lao Xue's former group performers. The group performer brought Liu Jun to Guanghua and found a place for Liu Jun to hide.When Lao Xue finally found out, it was when Chu Ruo grabbed Liu Jun with the intention of harassing a little girl. At that time, Liu Jun's courage had already grown.

Old Xue was furious, kicked out the group performer, and asked Chu Ruo to call the police.Liu Jun and his group of gangsters were sent in.

Although Ren Chuming is different from Liu Jun, his appearance and temperament are different, but Lao Xue was bitten by a snake once, and he was afraid of well ropes for ten years. I think he might be even crazier than Liu Jun.

"Xiao Chu, I won't say more." Old Xue took the thick envelope and stuffed it into Chu Ruo's hands. After compromising, he held the corner of the envelope with two fingers, and Lao Xue finished the next words with satisfaction, "Brother Xue, I wish you a bright future." He pointed to the outside and said with a smile, "In the future, you will Next, Brother Xue wants to see you sitting under the big umbrella instead of squatting on the side of the road, understand?"

The ones sitting under the big umbrellas are serious actors; the ones squatting on the side of the road basking in the sun are day laborers.

The actor and the worker are actually on the same set most of the time, and the distance from each other is not far away, but one looks down from the sky, and the other looks up from the ground.

Chu Ruo stopped talking, and was led out of Lao Xue's room by Ren Chuming in silence.But after walking a few steps, he stopped, turned around and walked away from Ren Chuming, looking like he was going back to Lao Xue's room.

Ren Chuming followed, and followed behind him in two steps.Just as she was about to speak, she saw Chu Ruo squatting down without warning, as if looking for something on the ground.

Ren Chuming looked at him: "Now you know how to cherish it?"

Chu Ruo ignored him, her heart clenched inwardly, and her palms were covered with a thin layer of sweat.He couldn't find it fast enough with his right eye, so he pulled up the hair on the left side and tucked it behind his ear, revealing a terrifying left face. At the same time, he opened his left eye wide, and both eyes lingered on the ground at the same time, inch by inch.

There are people coming and going here in Guanghua, and people often pass by Lao Xue's door. Chu Ruo suspected that the pendant was picked up just after being thrown by Ren Chuming. Yang's words suddenly angered him: "Isn't it thanks to you?!"

Ren Chuming bent down and followed him with his eyes: "Regret? Then why did you sell it just now?"

Chu Ruo didn't answer him, and kept looking while avoiding his sight.

"I said I can help you," Ren Chuming's voice still followed, "Pay the five-year fee first, so you don't have to keep thinking about Bu Yang."

Chu Ruo still didn't answer him, and felt a little dizzy after squatting for a long time, but he didn't stand up and continued to search.

Even though he knew that the pendant might have been picked up by someone, he still wanted to get the pendant out of the empty ground like a rage.

He squatted and turned half a circle, and when he was about to turn to Ren Chuming, he suddenly saw a stack of white paper with dense words on it, which made Chu Ruo dizzy even more.

The document was handed down by Ren Chuming from top to bottom, and I don't know where he suddenly took it out.He looked at Chu Ruo, talking to himself again, but he knew that no matter what he said to himself, Chu Ruo would listen.

He said: "This is a contract, you sign it. I will give you money in the future, and you just need to listen to me."
