Spring wasted

After Fu Huadao was almost confirmed, Yu Ye and Guan Pingshan set off to the northwest to look for the "Lijin Town" in the story.

With less than half a month left, the preparations for Denghong City continue to advance in an orderly manner. The protagonists stay on the third floor every morning, and Jiang Kuang will go down with them when he has time, sitting quietly on the sidelines and listening to them The reading session, as well as the adjustments given to them by the acting teacher and the line teacher.

Liang Chi's state is becoming more and more devoted every day. They will go to "Chun" for dinner at noon, and then sometimes Liang Chi will stay on the third floor in the afternoon, and sometimes he will go home first. If the two of them are free at night, they will cook at home. Liang Chi doesn't know how to cook, but he will buy the ingredients in advance according to Jiang Kuang's instructions, and when Jiang Kuang comes back, he will be able to eat a decent home-cooked meal in less than an hour.

Xie Xing is also there every day. He doesn't have so many roles. According to the normal arrangement, he will not join the group until the scene of Lijin Town is filmed in the later stage, but he said that he has no other work arrangements during this period, so he can stay longer If he studied more in the crew, Yu Ye and Guan Pingshan would be left alone.

There was still no Xie Xing part in the normal reading meeting this day, but he was obviously a little restless today, looking at his phone from time to time, and then at Jiang Kuang who was sitting on the side. Jiang Kuang noticed him, but didn't show anything , until Xie Xing came and squatted beside Jiang Kuang's sofa, and whispered, "Mr. Jiang, I...I have something to tell you."

Jiang Kuang looked at him and made a gesture: "Go to my office."

Xie Xing nodded repeatedly, and followed Jiang Kuang to the fifth floor.

It was the first time for Xie Xing to come to Jiang Kuang's office, and he sat on the sofa in front of the large French window feeling a little uneasy, and then looked at his phone, as if there was some hot news on it.

Jiang Kuang made him a cup of black tea and sat on the sofa next to him: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Xie Xing seemed to muster up his courage, and said: "The last time the crew had a dinner together, Mr. Jiang... Oh, I mean another Mr. Jiang, he asked me to add his WeChat, so I did."

After speaking, he waited for Jiang Kuang's reaction, but Jiang Kuang didn't respond at all, and he didn't show any surprise at all. He just nodded his chin: "And then?"

Xie Xing was a little puzzled, and continued: "It was nothing after that, sometimes he would send me messages, all of which were simple greetings, how busy are you today, what are you doing, what are you acting in, when will you have a part in the show Kind of..." After thinking for a while, he said, "Oh, by the way, he also asked me for my makeup photo."

"Did you give it to him?" Jiang Kuang said.

Xie Xing nodded: "Yes, I sent it to him."

"How did he say?"

"He... said I'm handsome." Xie Xing was a little embarrassed when he said this, and said, "I know that's being polite."

Jiang Kuang wiped his chin with his fingers, but said another thing: "Do you know that when the movie is not announced publicly, the actor's makeup photos are considered commercial secrets and cannot be leaked casually. You should do the same." You have been an actor for several years, you probably don't know about it?"

Xie Xing was stunned for a moment, his face turned pale, "I, I..." He stammered incoherently.

But Jiang Kuang smiled and leaned forward: "But my second brother is the investor of the film, and if he wants to watch it, of course he wants to show it to him."

Xie Xing was stunned again, not knowing for a while whether he did something wrong or not.

Jiang Kuang said calmly, "Don't be afraid, the second brother is one of us, so, you showed him the photo, is that what you want to tell me today?"

"No, no, it's not." Xie Xing's face turned pale and red, he didn't take a sip of the tea in front of him, he wrung his hands and said, "Well, Boss Jiang asked me to have dinner with him today..."

"Oh..." Jiang Kuang was thoughtful, but he still didn't express surprise, he just looked at Xie Xing.

Xie Xing was taken aback by him, and asked cautiously: "Then I...should I go?"

"Go, of course." Jiang Kuang seemed to think this was an extremely ridiculous question: "The investor invites you to dinner, but you don't think about it?"

"No, no, that's not what it means." Xie Xing became a little anxious, and twisted on the sofa: "I think this matter is very strange."

"What's so strange?" Jiang Kuang asked quietly.

Xie Xing bowed his head and thought for a while, sorted out his words, and said, "I'm just a nobody, why does President Jiang look at me so favorably? I don't quite understand."

"By inviting you to dinner, does it mean that you are looking at you with blue eyes?"

"Hmm... Maybe I'm thinking too much, but Mr. Jiang, I don't know what I should do." Xie Xing looked really confused and panicked.

"If you want to go, go, if you don't want to go, just reject him, it's very simple." Jiang Kuang looked indifferent.

"No, no, it's not that simple..." Xie Xing had all his entanglements written on his face, he said, "I can't refuse him, I will go to dinner."

"Can't, or don't want to? You hate him?" Jiang Kuang looked at Xie Xing calmly, and asked.

Xie Xing shook his head in a daze: "Of course I don't hate it."

Then he paused again and said, "Of course it's nothing but eating. I'm grateful, but I don't know if there will be anything else."

Jiang Kuang hooked his lips: "What else do you think? What else would my brother want to do to you?"

Xie Xing's face flushed instantly, and he quickly shook his head: "No, no, no..."

Jiang Kuang kept pressing: "If there is?"

Xie Xing looked up at Jiang Kuang and was completely stunned. Jiang Kuang's aura suddenly became a little overwhelming, he stared at Xie Xing and asked, "What will you do if he wants to do something to you after dinner today or in the future?"

"Xie Xing, you are not a newcomer who just entered this industry and doesn't understand anything, you know what I'm asking." Jiang Kuang said again.

The redness on Xie Xing's face faded quickly, as if he had just come to his senses, although he was still a little dazed and didn't understand why he had come to this point, but he nodded lightly: "I... listen to him."

"Is it difficult?" Jiang Kuang looked at him with a concerned tone, but it made people feel a little scary.

"No, it's not embarrassing." Xie Xing's two hands were tightly clenched together.

Jiang Kuang leaned forward, and patted him on the shoulder reassuringly: "You are fine, you know that you have come to me on your own initiative, I hope you will not be reluctant in the slightest, if you think so, you can tell me, and I will come with you Brother said, let him stay away from you."

For a moment, Xie Xing couldn't tell the truth from the falsehood. Jiang Kuang looked very sincere, but...he bit his lips: "No, Mr. Jiang, I will tell you if there is anything in the future."

"That's good." Jiang Kuang leaned back on the sofa and looked at Xie Xing calmly.

Xie Xing's palms were covered with sweat, and he left the office uncoordinatedly.

Jiang Kuang stared at the undrinked cup of black tea in a daze. Everything Xie Xing just said was within his expectations. If not, he would not have kept this person during the audition. There is no guarantee that the future development will be within his expectations and control, which feels bad.

For a moment, he even wished that Xie Xing would say no, I don't want to do this, I don't want to go to dinner, I don't want to have anything else behind, so that he can stop in time and at most bump into Jiang Linghui.

But Xie Xing has lived in the dark in this industry for too long. He is eager to stand out, eager to seize all opportunities that he doesn't know if they are opportunities. Jiang Kuang didn't stop him today, so he can only follow the development of the situation. As long as Jiang Linghui doesn't get tired so quickly Xie Xing, then this person is a pawn he inserted.

Xie Xing resembled the young Miao Yunfei very much. Jiang Kuang no longer had to guess what Jiang Linghui had in mind for the eldest son of the Miao family.
