It's hard to be a stepmother

The script came out the next day, and director Lin really came out with several screenwriters. After director Liu fused them together for him, he started trial shooting.

After a whole day of trial shooting, Ruan Le’s luthier was fine, so he went to concentrate on studying music. I practiced with Huo Hanchuan. In one afternoon, I kicked over the table fifteen times, and Huo Hanchuan dropped ten teacups.

I don’t know how many extras were shot, I think the photographers were tired from filming, the director laughed at the end in front of the monitor and said: “All the extras are kept, let them watch the 5-minute scenes that have been filmed for a whole day reason."

I was ashamed to hear that Huo Hanchuan is a newcomer, so I should repeat it many times, but not only did I not bring him into the play, but I also lost the link.I told Director Liu, let me think about it.

Director Liu waved his hand: "You go outside, don't feel pressured, we are doing trial shooting today, and the script will be revised."

After listening to what Director Liu said, after dinner, we went for a walk. Huo Baize was playing by the side of the stream, and Huo Hanchuan was beside him. His clothes were all wet by him. In the end, he also got his hands on Huo Baize without any politeness. He was an adult, and he held a lot of water, so Huo Baize was also splashed wet, and called me loudly: "Uncle Xiao, come and help me!"

I gave him the small bucket: "This is a lot of water, you're welcome."

Huo Baize understood what I meant, and really went up with the bucket. Huo Hanchuan probably didn't want us to see him in such a mess, so he said to Ruan Le: "Mr. Ruan, ask Xiao Chen to take you to the pavilion in the mountain. better."

I took Ruan Le to play the piano in the gazebo halfway up the mountain. Huo Hanchuan was right. The gazebo was built in the best location, and there is a moon tonight, and it is a very round moon. Playing the piano in this location should be good. inspiration.

The continuous tea garden looks like a huge piece of silk satin under the moonlight. When the wind blows, the folds on it seem to undulate with the wind. When there is no wind, it looks like a sleeping lake. light spot.

The bamboo forest behind the gazebo is like a natural Xiao. As the wind blows, the bamboo leaves collide to compose a musical score.

Ruan Le brought a guqin, and I brought a xiao, because Ruan Le asked me how my music progressed in the past two years. I didn’t make any progress, and I still learned Xiao in school. If I wasn’t afraid of Ruan Le’s jokes, I would play Huo Baize for him. harmonica.

Xiao, I'm also a bit unfamiliar, what he played was an ancient song he once created. After I finished playing, Ruan Le nodded. While blowing, I hid Xiao Momo behind my back, I never thought that he could blow out a tune with a leaf.

A piece of ordinary tea in the mountains, which can no longer be ordinary, is better in his mouth than the tens of thousands of Xiao in my hand.

After he finished blowing, I praised him unreservedly: "It's so good, it's really amazing. How did you know how to blow it with leaves?"

Ruan Le turned the tea in his hand and smiled at me: "I used to blow it when I was young."

I still find it unbelievable, and I told him: "I also played it when I was a child, but it was just monotonous, and I never thought of making it into a song."

Ruan Le only shook his head slightly, and then looked at the tea garden below. I know he is a man of few words, and he may be thinking a lot when he is silent, so I didn't bother him, and sat on the periphery like him On the row of chairs, his feet hang down.

It took him a while to speak: "When I was young, my family was poor and couldn't afford musical instruments, not even a harmonica,"

I looked at him, and I knew a little bit about his family situation. It was written on Baidu Encyclopedia. He was born in a rural area, and he also wrote this. Ruan Le is a low-key person. Except for the scandal with me, he has never had one. , I think if his songs were not well-known to everyone, probably no one would look into his life and criticize his background, and he has never disliked his background.

When I met him, he had already debuted, so I didn't know how poor he was talking about.

The corners of my mouth twitched a few times, but I couldn’t find anything to say, Ruan Le just looked at me and smiled: “My hometown is also a tea garden, just like this village. ,"

"So that's the case, no wonder." I thought he had learned about science beforehand, but he was very skillful in the process of picking tea, drying tea, and roasting tea. It turned out to be a skill from elementary school to adulthood.Ruan Le nodded, and I asked again: "How is the tea garden now?"

Ruan Le shook his head very lightly, and said after a while: "The tea garden you and Mr. Huo built, the camellia base is very good, I also want to change the donation method to this."

Does he mean it's good?

I pointed to the tea garden below and asked, "Do you mean to build such a tea garden?"

He nodded, and I smiled at him: "That's good, you can ask me to help you, I have experience now."

Ruan Lezheng turned around and only looked at me. I was afraid that he would not believe me and said, "Really, I have also visited other tea gardens besides this place, and I have also learned all the types of tea."

He stared at me for a while, then nodded and said, "That's why I came here. Giving a man a fish is worse than giving him a fish. You don't care about profit or effort. You and Mr. Huo are very good."

What he said was not mixed with any water, but I was a little ashamed by what he said, I was not as good as he thought, Huo Hanchuan was right what he said, Huo Hanchuan built this tea garden purely for charity, but I am not. When I rented out the tea plantation, I was thinking of making money. I am a person who is interested in money. I have been running around for more than 20 years, so how can I change overnight.

I whispered to him: "It's not as good as you think, I just want to make money once, and Huo Hanchuan also told me that as long as the brand is built, it will be a very good project, just like what you see now , The [Qingshan Tea] brand has really made money, and the tea shops based on it have also caught up with the trend and are also profitable. I also plan the film and television base here, and I also want to recover the principal .”

I pointed him to the place where the lights were on, and I could see the sparks igniting from a high place. I am a mercenary person. What I want to do most in my life is to stand on the top and let everyone look up to me, so I took over this After the tea garden, I studied desperately, and I no longer know my original occupation.

Huo Hanchuan gave me an olive branch, I can't let it wither, I want it to take root and grow into a big tree, even if Huo Hanchuan doesn't care, I can't let the half of my life savings I put into it go to waste.

Ruan Le looked at me for a while, and said: "You really have buried talents as an actor. You have a talent for business."

Does it affirm my ability to make money?I smiled at him and said, "I'll take it as your compliment."

Ruan Le obviously talked a lot more tonight. He took my words and said, "No, what I'm talking about is the objective fact. Capital is getting bigger and bigger. If you want to make money, you have to invest first."

What he said is consistent with his thoughts just now. Is he going to join Shancha Base?

I asked him softly: "Then are you willing to be a shareholder of Shancha Alliance?"

He looked at me and smiled: "That's exactly what I was thinking."

When I asked him, I asked with a smile, because I didn’t expect him to agree. It’s unbelievable that he can come to write songs for a small label that has just been two years old, let alone that he still needs to invest, what he said Doing good things for his hometown, but he can find a better and bigger brand. Qingshan Tea is really too young.Rather than doing good things for his hometown, he would rather do it for me, so I was stunned for a while, and he looked at me with a chuckle: "Why doesn't Mr. Xiao welcome me?"

I took a deep breath before reaching out to him: "Thank you, I... On behalf of Qingshan Tea, I sincerely invite you to join me."

Ruan Le's hands are warm and strong, perhaps because of playing the piano all the year round, the thin calluses on his hands make people feel sore, I shook them vigorously: "Thank you!"

He didn't know what his joining represented and how much it meant to me.

He told me: "It should be me thanking you, I joined for the sake of the tea garden in my hometown."

He is a person who never wants to admit that he does good deeds, so I smiled at him: "You don't know what your joining means to me. There will be a general meeting of shareholders here in a few days, and many shareholders are not satisfied with the limitations of the Shancha chain base. On the mountain, some of them advocate giving up Shancha, but you are the shareholder representing the Shancha base, so I want to thank you. Before that, I also want to tell you the truth."

"Tell me." He told me softly.

I have told every shareholder who joined, but it was the easiest time for Ruan Le. I told him that Qingshan Tea has only passed the first round of financing, while other chain tea gardens have just started, and derivative brands [Qingshan Inn] The tea shop has only been established for one year, and I don't know how far it can go.

After hearing what I said, Ruan Le smiled at me: "Is it profitable now? Didn't you just say that you have already made a profit?"

"Yes, it has already made a profit. There are seven chain bases of Qingshan Tea and Camellia, and 103 physical stores of [Qingshan Inn] have been opened."

"That's fine, I just hold the purpose of making money."

Ruan Le said solemnly, it was rare for him to joke with me, and I also smiled at him: "Then Mr. Ruan, from today onwards, don't you have to pay for all the publicity you do for Qingshan Tea? Brand endorsement, right?"

Ruan Le looked at me and smiled: "I have said that Chairman Xiao has a talent for doing business, and his thinking is meticulous and tight-knit."

I looked at him with a smile: "Yes, I have been waiting for a long time."

"Uncle Xiao! Uncle Ruan!" Huo Baize's voice came from below, his loud voice was suitable for shouting, Ruan Le smiled at me: "Mr. Huo has come here, let's go down the mountain."

The two of us walked out of the gazebo, he was holding the guqin, and I gave him a flashlight. The mountain should maintain its original appearance, only the lighting around the Qingshan Inn at the foot of the mountain, and Huo Hanchuan below us also lit a flashlight, pointing to us. After turning in the direction, his voice was not as loud as Huo Baize's, and it came from afar: "You two don't worry, the mountain road is not easy to walk, so slow down."

Ruan Le smiled and said to me: "Mr. Huo is very kind to you."

I glanced at him, wondering what he was thinking of saying this.

Ruan Le looked up at the sky, and said in a calm voice, "I have a bad personality, taciturn, and few friends. You are one of the few friends I have. I just didn't expect that being friends with you would give you a lot of benefits. It brought scandals, and I can't clarify those scandals for you. Fortunately, Mr. Huo made a move later. Although it was not very useful, I am relieved, as long as he has no grudges. "

It turned out to be like this, I looked at the stone steps under my feet and smiled: "I'm fine, he's fine, and you don't have to blame yourself, it's right for you to be silent at that time, if you also speak out, it won't end Well." The entertainment industry is like this, ignoring it is the best way to deal with it.Three years have passed since the incident, and I have already come out.Besides, I was the one who caused him trouble back then, and I was the one who was sorry for him.But he still regarded me as a friend, my nose was a little sore, and I squeezed the flashlight tightly.

The flashlight illuminated the steps, and I whispered to him: "I also want to say sorry to you." I caused him even more trouble. He was originally heterosexual, and it was too wrong for me to drag him into the water.

Ruan Le glanced at me: "It's okay. I don't care."

That's good, then I let go of the guilt in my heart. I haven't apologized to him because I haven't been able to contact him all these years.

"Mr. Huo." Ruan Le greeted Huo Hanchuan who had already approached.

I also laughed with Huo Hanchuan, I didn't know that he made a move later, although what Ruan Le said was very funny and useless, it proved from the negative side how popular Ruan Le and I were at that time.

At that time, I thought Huo Hanchuan was the mastermind behind the scenes, and I didn't know what to say about myself. It was because I was weak in my heart at that time, and I was too strong before being persecuted.

Huo Hanchuan also greeted us, and handed Ruan Le a flashlight: "I wanted to pick you up earlier, but Huo Baize couldn't move."

Huo Baize didn't blame him, he exposed him and said, "You said you were tired from filming all day, so you didn't go up to find Uncle Xiao."

Huo Hanchuan was embarrassed by what he said, and coughed: "I don't have acting skills, I can't act well, I'll make you laugh."

Ruan Le said to him: "Mr. Huo, don't worry, you are better than me in acting, and I don't have any acting skills."

The two of them have no acting skills, but they appeared in the promotional video. Now I know that they are going to justify my scandal back then, and I feel my eyes are sore.I now know why Ruan Le agreed to Director Bai to come here. He not only wanted to write a song for me, but I also know why Huo Hanchuan agreed to appear in this promotional video. He not only wanted to go abroad with me, he They are covering for me and Ruan Le.

Thousands of words were stuck in my chest. I took several deep breaths before I felt able to speak. I smiled and reintroduced the two of them: "Han Chuan is our new shareholder, Mr. Ruan."

Huo Hanchuan also had the same reaction as mine. He was stunned for a moment before laughing. He handed me the flashlight, and then solemnly extended his hand to Ruan Le: "Thank you, Mr. Ruan, and welcome Mr. Ruan to join us."

Ruan Le also shook hands with him: "Xiao Chen and I are good friends. If Mr. Huo doesn't mind, I am willing to do my part for Qingshancha and Shancha Chain."

Huo Hanchuan smiled: "Mr. Ruan is too polite. It's too late for me and Xiao Chen to welcome you. I can imagine that Qingshancha's alliance will become stronger and stronger."

On the way, Huo Hanchuan gave Ruan Le a lot of detailed explanations. His thoughts were not as negative as mine. He only looked at the prospects, from the market demand for tea to the development of new categories of tea, from traditional tea to new tea drinks, From middle-aged and elderly people to teenagers, they talked about the shortage of tea market.

He talked all the way back. After returning to the inn, he told Chen Chongyun again. Compared with me, what he said was more convincing. Chen Chongyun smiled after seeing Ruan Le several times: "I finally Knowing why you came, okay, now I am completely relieved."

After chatting with them, it was not too early, so I asked Huo Hanchuan: "Are you still going to shoot tomorrow? If you are tired, how about taking a rest?"

He rolled out the bed and said to me: "It's okay, let's continue filming, so that the promotional video will come out earlier."

After the bedding was rolled out, he said to me, "Are you tired? Lie down and I'll massage you."

I shook my head at him: "No, I'm not tired." I thought for a while and told him: "Actually, you don't need to participate. Ruan Le is also our shareholder. It is normal for the two of us to cooperate."

Huo Hanchuan just looked at me and smiled: "I'm not just for you two, I have other things."

other?

He looked at me for a while, with complicated eyes, and when I was about to ask him again, he slowly touched my face with his hand: "You will know when the time comes." He changed the subject: "Let's rest early, I'm afraid it will hold you back for another day tomorrow."

Well, if he doesn't want to say, I won't ask any more. I should know when that day comes.

The author has something to say:

Remarks: I'm very sorry, I just saw it today. I did miss a large paragraph in Chapter 91. I haven't read it before, so I posted it in the draft box. I only found it this time when I edited the article. I'm very sorry, and I will make it up for everyone. If you have already bought it, don’t buy it, and if you haven’t bought it, don’t buy it first, because I posted it in a hurry, and I posted too many duplicates. I’ll ask the editor tomorrow how to modify it. (However, it does not affect viewing. I am sorry that I have found a job recently. It is not easy to change the text secretly. I made a mistake.)

Regarding the latter part, I am re-editing it, and when it is all revised, I will publish it as soon as possible, and try to finish it this month.
