incense shop owner

The case of Starlight Entertainment was over, Xia Guhan finally had a fair reason not to open the store, he slept until the sun was high every day, and was served by old ghosts for meals, and he wiped all the wool from Zhou Zhiqiang's body, so he didn't have to worry about livelihood issues.To Xia Guhan these days, it is simply a fairy day, nothing to worry about.

If it is not necessary, Gu Jinnian is willing to indulge him, and Xia Guhan doesn't want to move, so let's not move.

The days passed day by day, and another month passed in a blink of an eye.

Summer is at its peak, and the whole world is like a big furnace. The road surface is so distorted by the sun that an egg can be boiled immediately when you knock it down.

Sometimes there is no gust of wind for a whole day, and it is too hot to step out of the air-conditioned room.

Xia Guhan is even more reluctant to go out, every day he nests in the recliner of the incense shop, either sleeping or in a daze, he can always spend the day in a leisurely way.

That day, Xia Guhan was taking a nap in the recliner at the counter, when his cell phone rang suddenly.

Xia Guhan took out his mobile phone from his pocket - ever since he learned that Gu Jinnian had taught himself to become a veteran driver in the flower market, Xia Guhan confiscated the mobile phone and refused to let Gu Jinnian touch it.But instead of depriving Gu Jinnian of his hobby of reading novels, he bought Gu Jinnian an old-age mobile phone with a huge sum of money, and let Gu Jinnian read novels on the web version of ljj.The performance of the elderly machine is not good, even under the 4G network, the flower market cannot be loaded.

Although Gu Jinnian felt it was a pity that he could not go to the flower market, he was still willing to follow Xia Guhan.After all, the financial power of the family is in the hands of Xia Guhan, no matter ljj or the flower market, Xia Guhan must provide financial support to watch it.

Closer to home.

The call was from Zhou Zhiqiang.

Since the Xingguang Entertainment incident, Zhou Zhiqiang didn't dare to contact Xia Guhan, except for the one time he sent money to Xia Guhan.

After the Starlight Entertainment incident broke out, not long after Zhou Zhiqiang became a manager, he just stepped into the chain of crimes. Before he could do bad things, the chain of crimes broke down. The biggest crime is not to report.After the official investigation was over, he was taken away and detained for a few days before being released after a lecture.

He no longer works as a broker. After transferring all the assets under his name to Xia Guhan, he found a sales job. He is much more tired and poorer than when he was a broker.But after going through Starlight Entertainment, he lost even his ambition, as long as he can support himself every day.

This time I will call to tell Xia Guhan something: "Little boss, the movie you made before will be released at midnight tonight."

what movie?

Xia Guhan was stunned for a while, and then remembered that he was caught as a young man when he went to the film and television city to deliver food more than a month ago, and he played a cameo role as a celestial master who catches ghosts in his true colors.

That movie seems to be called "The Old Mansion".

Although he doesn't understand movies, he more or less knows that the production cycle of a movie is not so short. Can it really be edited and released in more than a month?

"Little boss?" Zhou Zhiqiang didn't hear Xia Guhan's response, thinking that Xia Guhan had fallen asleep again, so he called tentatively.

Xia Guhan gave a "hmm", indicating that he was still awake.

Zhou Zhiqiang: "I know the assistant director of the ancient house. He knew that I knew you, so he gave me two movie tickets and told me to pass them on to you."

Xia Guhan originally wanted to say that he didn't need to give it to him. He was not interested in going to the movies, but he felt a curious gaze. He looked up and met Gu Jinnian's gaze.

"Do you want to go?" Xia Guhan asked with his mouth.

Gu Jinnian nodded.

Xia Guhan thought for a while, Gu Jinnian hadn't seen a movie in the theater yet, so it's okay to take him there once, anyway, the movie tickets don't cost money.

So he refused and turned a corner, "Okay, please send me the code of the movie ticket."

Zhou Zhiqiang hurriedly responded, "Okay, okay, I'll send you the QR code right now."

Not long after the call ended, Zhou Zhiqiang sent the QR code of the movie ticket.

Xia Guhan glanced at it and lost all interest.

midnight show.

Shouldn't that be bedtime?

Xia Guhan stuffed his phone into his pocket, "I'm not going, I have to go by myself. Turn left after leaving the alley, and there is a cinema 500 meters away."

"It's okay if you don't go." Gu Jinnian was easy to talk about today.

But it was so easy to talk, Xia Guhan felt something was wrong again, he looked at Gu Jinnian suspiciously, "Really?"

Gu Jinnian reached out and touched Xia Guhan's face, "It's just right not to go, your body temperature has dropped again, I will try to warm you up."

Xia Guhan: "..."

How warm is self-evident.

But every time Xia Guhan can't refuse, after all, it's really cool.

Just too tired.

Xia Guhan carefully compared whether he was tired from going to the movies or tired from tossing, and finally came to the conclusion that it was tired from tossing.After all, he can take a nap in the middle of watching a movie, but if Gu Jinnian is tossing about, he may not be able to sleep all night.

Comparing the two, Xia Guhan made a difficult choice, "Let's go to the movies."

The corner of Gu Jinnian's mouth ticked upwards, and he acted like a good boy when he got a bargain, "It's okay if you don't go."

Xia Guhan was unwilling and strongly objected, "After all, this is the first movie I made, why don't I watch it?"

It seemed that he wasn't the one who said he didn't want to go before.

Gu Jinnian smiled and rubbed Xia Guhan's hair.

***

The assistant director of "The Ancient Mansion" just gave the movie tickets for the movie theater near Lanyue Lane, and it happened to be a zero show.

Xia Guhan slept on the bed until 11:30, and was dug up by Gu Jinnian.

He was a bit sleepy at first, but after seeing Gu Jinnian's appearance, all the sleepy bugs disappeared at once.

Gu Jinnian was deeply tormented by the domineering president's novels. He wore a neat suit every day and combed his hair meticulously. He looked upright and abstinent.

But today is different, he changed to a casual style.

The upper body is a white shirt, the first two buttons are unbuttoned, revealing a section of collarbone and chest.The sleeves of the shirt are rolled up, the arms are slender, and the muscles are smooth.Wearing a pair of khaki slacks, his long legs are straight.

The meticulous hair was also disturbed this time, a little messy, but a little more unruly.

Obviously, Gu Jinnian's outfit should have been carefully selected after looking through fashion magazines for a long time, and even the hairstyle was exactly the same as the male models in the magazines.

Xia Guhan was amazed when he saw it.

He got up from the bed and said, "Why don't you just go out and watch a movie? As for you..."

Before he finished speaking, Xia Guhan suddenly realized something, and looked at Gu Jinnian in disbelief, "Old ghost, don't you want to go out on a date with me?"

Watching movies is just a pretense, and dating is Gu Jinnian's goal.

No wonder he wants to go to the movies with him, no wonder he dresses up.

Gu Jinnian didn't admit it, and pushed Xia Guhan to change clothes.

Considering Gu Jinnian's strong desire to date, Xia Guhan reluctantly chose a slightly better-looking set of clothes in the closet, and finally it wasn't a vest with big pants and flip flops.

By the time everything was done, it was already 10 minutes later, and there were still about 10 minutes before the movie started.Fortunately, the cinema was nearby, and it took less than 10 minutes for the two of them to walk there.

When they arrived at the cinema, the tickets for their shows had already begun.

Xia Guhan walked directly towards the ticket gate, but Gu Jinnian stopped in front of a poster.

"how……"

Xia Guhan was about to ask, but when he saw the poster first, he finally knew why Gu Jinnian stopped.

The poster standing in front of them was the movie poster of "The Ancient Mansion", but the one standing in the C position was not the protagonist of the movie, but Xia Guhan.

And there are still two Xia Guhans.

One was wearing a yellow Taoist robe, holding a mahogany sword, with a righteous face.

One was dressed in a white coat, with gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, gentle and handsome.

The two Xia Guhan stood back to back, one bright and the other dark, light and shadow intertwined on the two of them.

Those who didn't know thought that Xia Guhan played two roles alone, or had dual identities in the movie, and was the absolute protagonist.

Only Xia Guhan knew that he was only a cameo, and there were only two scenes before and after, which probably didn't even last 10 minutes.

Isn't this just tricking the dog in and killing it?

Anyway, Xia Guhan and Gu Jinnian stood here for a while, and there were several waves of people who chose to buy movie tickets for "Cry of the Ancient House" because of the poster.

It's not that the posters of "The Mansion" are well done, but that the leading actor is really handsome.

Xia Guhan also heard a conversation between a pair of girlfriends not far away.

"The ancient house is a domestic horror movie, anyway, I'm not interested in domestic horror movies."

"Whether it looks good or not is one thing. The main reason is that the hero is too handsome. For the hero's face, it must be worth the fare."

"Yes, then look at the ancient house?"

……

Xia Guhan was silent for a while.

I just hope that the pair of girlfriends will still find him good-looking after watching the movie.

Gu Jinnian agreed with the words of the two girlfriends, and said in a serious manner: "It really looks good."

But Xia Guhan clearly saw that Gu Jinnian's eyes were on the white coat and Taoist robe.

Xia Guhan: "..."

He pulled Gu Jinnian past him and walked towards the ticket gate, warning fiercely as he walked, "Don't even think about it, old ghost."

Gu Jinnian just laughed.

***

There were very few people in the midnight show, and soon it was Xia Guhan's turn to check the tickets. He handed two tickets to the staff, and the staff took the tickets and looked at him suspiciously. How could anyone use two tickets to watch a movie?

But still tore off the stubs of the two tickets, and watched Xia Guhan go in.

When Xia Guhan's figure disappeared around the corner, he stretched out his hand and scratched his hair in a daze. Did something happen just now?

zero.

"Old House Cry" officially begins.

The location chosen by the assistant director was the best viewing area. Gu Jinnian looked at the big screen with great interest, while Xia Guhan was drowsy beside him.

A few minutes later, Gu Jinnian asked in a low voice, "Why haven't you come out yet?"

Xia Guhan yawned: "Wait a little longer."

Another ten minutes passed.

Gu Jinnian: "What about you?"

Xia Guhan had already fallen asleep.

Gu Jinnian: "..."

Gu Jinnian looked at his empty arms, then at the young lovers hugging in front of him, sighed softly, and smiled helplessly.

Gu Jinnian was not the only one who had doubts, but also other audiences in the movie theater who were attracted by Xia Guhan's appearance. They watched for more than ten minutes, the protagonist group was still circling at the door of the ancient house, and the beautiful male protagonist It hasn't come out yet.

Whispering voices kept ringing out, and some people couldn't stand it any longer, and fell asleep leaning on the chair.

The nearly two-hour movie became extremely long, and the actor on the poster did not appear until the last 15 minutes.

An imaginary priest, a psychiatrist, ending with a warning of insanity.

Very good, this is a domestic horror movie.

The audience came in high spirits and returned disappointed.When he walked out of the theater, he still kept cursing.

Gu Jinnian, on the other hand, was lost in thought as he stared at the big screen where the performance list was flashing.

Xia Guhan was so stuck in time that he woke up as soon as the movie was over. Seeing that Gu Jinnian was still sitting, he stretched out his hand and pushed him, "Why don't you leave?"

"Did you meet a female ghost while filming?" Gu Jinnian asked suddenly.

Xia Guhan: "How do you know?"

Gu Jinnian asked again: "You still cut off her tongue?"

Now Xia Guhan came to his senses, quite unbelievable, "Did the filming go in?"

"Yeah." Gu Jinnian nodded, "Ordinary people can't see it, but some special people might not."

Xia Guhan was stunned for a while, and then he was relieved, "Let's shoot it, let's shoot it, anyway, not many people watch this kind of movie."

He stretched his waist, "Let's go, go back to sleep."

Gu Jinnian got up and walked out with Xia Guhan.

Walking to the place where the posters were originally posted, several people who were attracted to watch the movie by the posters of "The Mansion" were taking pictures around the posters, complaining while taking pictures.

But the ones who complained were the film directors and producers. It was because the people on the posters were too good-looking, so I couldn't bear to say anything more.

A person approached the poster and saw a line of small words on the poster. He read it out, "The actor on the poster is a guest star in this film, not the lead actor. Please don't misunderstand."

Immediately after he finished speaking, he began to scold. It was the first time he saw a film crew acting so coquettishly. He really wanted nothing for the box office.

Xia Guhan heard it.

There was silence for a while.

Gu Jinnian actually laughed, he didn't expect Xia Guhan to meet such an unreliable crew, the fraud was obvious.

I have written out the prompts, did you not see it?That's because you have bad eyesight.

Xia Guhan gave Gu Jinnian a sideways glance, and pulled Gu Jinnian to pass by the poster pretending to be nonchalant. Anyway, these people didn't know him, so even if they saw him now, they wouldn't recognize him. What do you want to say? Just say what.

Xia Guhan only regarded this movie as an episode, and didn't take it seriously, and went to bed as soon as he got home.

Little do they know that the film crew of "The Mansion of Horror" is much more than incomparable.

They also specially cut out Xia Guhan's footage and made it into a trailer, which was released on various platforms.

Tonight, quite a few people were tricked into going to the movie theater by the posters of "The Mansion of Horror", and how many people were so pissed off by the film's showmanship that they went home and opened their social software to start complaining.

I happened to see the trailer released by the film studio again, so I forwarded it immediately.

[Fake, the handsome guy is just a propaganda tool.As many scenes as the preview, there are as many scenes in the movie. 】Accompanies the science popularization of Fang Sao's operation, and also bolded the sentence on the poster.

The majority of melon-eating people were indeed surprised by the show's operation, and their enthusiasm for eating melons was unprecedentedly high, and they had a great time playing memes. In the middle of the night, #旗舰客营C形# was sent to the trending searches.

The film crew was not ashamed but proud, and the popularity was not in vain, so they took the opportunity to make an edited video of Xia Guhan's scene.I don't even want my face, and I can cheat one movie ticket.

It wasn't very clear in the trailer, but when this edited video came out, Xia Guhan's beauty crit was directly displayed in front of the melon-eating crowd.

The Daoist priest who dances a mahogany sword gracefully, or the ascetic doctor in a white coat with gold-rimmed glasses, all of them are really stepping on the public's aesthetics, and the rough props and scenery can't hide Xia Guhan The beauty of the prosperous age.

So this video became popular, and the film crew took advantage of the heat to heat it up. It didn't take long for #古宅惊惊客赛东少# to become a trending search, attracting more melon-eaters to indulge in Xia Guhan's beauty.

They stopped abusing the film crew and left messages on the official Weibo, wanting to know the information about the handsome guy who cameo.

Xia Guhan knew nothing about this.

Xia Guhan didn't know about it until noon the next day when Xia Gujiang called.

Xia Guhan was silent, not hard to accept, but full of doubts.

Why is it on fire?

Then I felt that if it became popular, it would be popular. Anyway, he didn't leave a message at the time, and it was difficult to find him.

"But don't worry, Uncle already knows about this matter. At this moment, the relationship should be dredged, let people cool down, and all the clips that should be deleted have also been deleted." Before Xia Guhan's response, Xia Gujiang thought Xia Guhan couldn't accept it, so he offered words of comfort.

But there is one thing that Xia Gujiang didn't say. In that video, Xia Guhan did reveal something. The second-level celestial masters who opened their eyes can see a little bit, and the higher-level celestial masters can see it more clearly. many.But fortunately, Xia Guhan didn't show too much, and there were special effects to cover it up. After seeing it, the celestial masters only thought that Xia Guhan was acting in his true colors.

After comforting Xia Guhan, Xia Gujiang couldn't help teasing Xia Guhan on the phone, "I didn't expect that there would be a day when you would sell your lust to make money."

There is nothing wrong with hearing this, but Xia Guhan still remembers the matter of Xia Gujiang teaching the old ghost to go to the flower market in his heart.

He squinted his eyes and asked the person on the other end of the phone, "Are you busy recently?"

Xia Gujiang immediately became alert, "I'm very busy, I'm so busy that I don't touch the ground every day, I have something to do now, don't talk about it, I'll hang up first."

As soon as the voice fell, Xia Gujiang immediately hung up the phone, not giving Xia Guhan any chance to fight back.

Xia Gujiang was breathing a sigh of relief, not long after, someone notified Xia Gujiang to guard the holy place of the clan.

The Holy Land is bitterly cold, there is no internet or air conditioner, so going in is no different from confinement.Xia Gujiang has a lively nature, and being sent to guard the Holy Land is nothing less than a kind of torture for him.

Ahhhhh!

Xia Gujiang yelled several times as if venting, not knowing where he offended Xia Guhan.

***

Incense shop.

Xia Guhan felt more at ease when he heard that Xia Yunkai had made people take down the heat, and felt that the matter had almost come to an end.

After lunch, he continued to sit on the recliner in a daze.

A few minutes later, Xia Guhan received a message.

It was from the bank, reminding Xia Guhan that a sum of money had arrived.

Who gave him the money?

Didn't Zhou Zhiqiang get this sheep wiped clean by him?

Just as he was thinking, Zhou Zhiqiang's news came.

[Zhou Zhiqiang: Boss, have you received the money transfer from the film studio of the ancient house? 】

The next second, Zhou Zhiqiang sent a voice.

Zhou Zhiqiang: "Little boss, the film crew of Gu Zhai asked me to apologize to you for them. It is their fault for using you as a gimmick without your consent. The money just transferred to your account is a supplement from the film crew. I hope you have a lot of publicity fees, so don't argue with them."

Xia Guhan looked at the six-figure publicity fee that had just arrived, and felt that this kind of publicity could actually be more, and he didn't mind at all.But on the surface, he still maintained a look of superiority, and replied with a very reserved reply.

Zhou Zhiqiang heaved a sigh of relief, and sent another voice in a tentative tone, "Since you have forgiven them, little boss, can you stop scaring them?"

Xia Guhan replied in a dazed manner: [If you don't do anything wrong, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door. 】

Zhou Zhiqiang agreed as Xia Guhan, and sent several thank you emojis.

Xia Guhan looked at Gu Jinnian who was reading novels on an old man's phone, and asked, "Did you do something?"

Gu Jinnian remained silent, only looking back at Xia Guhan tenderly.

Facing Gu Jinnian's gentle eyes, Xia Guhan shuddered inexplicably.In fact, he could guess what Gu Jinnian did, nine times out of ten he asked a few ghosts to frighten the film crew of "The Mansion" and make them spit out the promotional money.

Otherwise, wouldn't he be too wronged for bringing so much heat to them in vain.

Thinking of the six-figure publicity fee, Xia Guhan happily patted the old ghost on the shoulder, "Old ghost, well done."

***

Xia Guhan thought that the matter of the video was over, but he didn't know that because of this video, he became popular in some small groups.

The Celestial Masters Association is a half-government, half-civilian organization that protects the interests of the Celestial Masters and restricts the behavior of the Celestial Masters, but not all the Celestial Masters are willing to join the Celestial Masters Association.

These celestial masters who have not been certified and rated by the celestial masters association are called wild celestial masters.

Yun Fanshu is a wild celestial master who opened a fortune-telling online store, doing fortune-telling for others, and living a decent life.

Recently she had a guest.

Yun Fanshu was right about some things about this guest, which made this guest trust her very much and was willing to ask her for help with anything.

The guests spend a lot of money, Yun Fanshu naturally has no reason to push away the money delivered to the door, and after coming and going, he also helped the guests solve some things.

But recently, when a customer asked her for help again, she couldn't solve it because she couldn't see any problems with the customer in this regard.

She told the truth to the guest, but the guest didn't seem to believe it.

Yun Fanshu was very irritated by being entangled by guests, and in this situation, he saw the video of "Horror in the Ancient Mansion" on the Internet.

At the beginning, she also thought that the Taoist priest in the video was very handsome. When she saw the scene of catching ghosts, Yun Fanshu was stunned. She clearly saw the spiritual whip in the hands of the Taoist priest.

At first she thought it was a special effect produced by the program, but after a closer look, she realized that it was not a special effect, but a real aura whip.

Yun Fanshu believed in his own eyes.

Her eyes are different from those of ordinary celestial masters. Since she was born with these eyes, she can see things that other people can't see, so she is sure that the Taoist priest's hand is really a concrete spiritual whip.

She roared in her heart, she is a master.

Not long after watching the video, the customer came to her again.Yun Fanshu was so annoyed that he couldn't help it, so he directly sent the video to the guest, telling the other party that the person in the video could solve her problem, and also told the other party that her husband could find this person.

After that, the guest did not bother Yun Fanshu anymore.I don't know if the guest can find the person in the video, after all, the guest's husband has some tricks.

***

Another hot afternoon.

Xia Guhan was bored and sat on the recliner in a daze.

His ears moved, and he heard footsteps coming from the door. Someone was coming here. Hearing the footsteps, it was not someone Xia Guhan was familiar with.

Xia Guhan took advantage of the situation and went down, acting as if I was already asleep and didn't want to receive guests at all.

But the visitor didn't know what Xia Guhan was thinking, and walked into the incense shop with one left and one right, "Excuse me, is Boss Xia here?"

The people who came were a young couple. They looked like upper-class people who were going to a dinner party. They appeared in a cramped and small incense shop, and they were out of place.

The man is handsome and handsome, wearing a high-end custom suit, he looks like a real boss.He had a haughty expression on his face, a little disgusted with the environment of the incense store, as soon as he entered, he never let go of his brows, and even protected his wife with his hands, not wanting her to touch the surrounding environment.

The woman was tall and beautiful, wearing a high-end dress of a luxury brand, and when she walked into the incense shop, she brought a burst of fragrance.The pigeon egg diamond ring on his hand shone brightly under the light, like it could blind people's eyes.

Compared with the husband, the expression of the wife is much more vivid. She was the one who spoke just now. She looked around curiously with her lively eyes, and finally landed on the counter. She could vaguely see a person lying on the recliner behind the counter. .

"Boss Xia?" His wife called again in a low voice.

This made the man beside her frowned a little more. If it wasn't for his wife's coming, he would never have stepped into Lanyue Lane.In his opinion, Lanyue Lane is a place where low-class people live, and it is full of filth.

How can a person who lives in this dirty place be a master?

Gu Jinnian kicked the reclining chair, "There are guests."

Rich customers.

Xia Guhan, who was going to pretend to sleep to the end, got up slowly, and replied lazily, "I'm here."

Seeing that Xia Guhan's eyes lit up, the lady came over immediately and handed over two medical examination reports, "Boss Xia, my husband and I are in good health, but we have not been able to conceive a baby. What's the matter?"

Xia Guhan: "..."

His side is not a hospital specialized in infertility.
