What Jia Hao chooses is really a food stall, very down-to-earth.A group of people sat on the pony bar without any airs, chatting and laughing happily with a glass of draft beer.

The aroma of barbecue floats over with the hustle and bustle of diners, giving it the unique warmth of a small city.

"Qingqing! This way!" Yin Ling was afraid that Zhang Qing would not be able to see him, so he yelled loudly and kept waving at him.

"Hey, here we come." Zhang Qing hurried over, looking around nervously.After all, it was a group of artists gathered at a table, he didn't want to have a meal with people watching.But it seems that Liancheng is a small city after all, and no one pays attention to them.

"Sit down, there's a place for you two!" Yin Ling patted the small bench on one side and shouted.

"I said, Ms. Yin, can you be a little self-conscious about being a lady." Zhang Qing pulled the small bench and sat down, and said helplessly.

"It's fine with others, but I'm not polite with you." Yin Ling said coolly, "I'm telling you, today's Jiahao treats guests, and they have opened their stomachs to eat poor him!"

"Yes, yes, eat him poor!" Chen Lou also laughed.

Zhang Qing smiled and didn't continue to answer.Not long after he sat down, he suddenly found Liang Yu sitting beside him.

Liang Yu didn't even wear a mask, and just sat on the small bench in the food stall so generously, which made Zhang Qing a little uncomfortable.

Moreover, the meeting with Liang Yu seems to be a bit too frequent recently, which is a bit embarrassing.

After all, the play that the two of them collaborated with was not something that could be put on the stage generously.

Zhang Qing coughed dryly, "Why didn't you ask for a private room?"

"What's the point of a private room? It's like eating a food stall when you eat barbecue." Liang Yu said with a smile.

"Then you don't wear a mask, so you really let yourself go?" Zhang Qing couldn't help but say something.

In terms of fame, Liang Yu is the most popular among them. If anyone in this group is most likely to be recognized, it is him.

Liang Yu smiled, and leaned closer to Zhang Qing's ear, "I argued with my agent for a long time about this matter, and he finally agreed that I don't have to avoid you anymore."

Liang Yu's sudden approach made Zhang Qing very uncomfortable, subconsciously straightened up and avoided, "Ah."

"Originally, we met and became friends through acting, and it's not something that can't be said, why do we keep avoiding it?" Liang Yu was not embarrassed, and continued, "Fans love to think whatever they want, let them scold just go."

Yes, now your manager doesn't care anymore, because if you are photographed, I will be the one who will be scolded.But Zhang Qing didn't say this, just smiled and poured some draft beer into his cup.

Liang Yu can be said to have won a big victory in this cp marketing. After the show was broadcast, his fans skyrocketed several times.If the news of the two of them eating together at this time spreads, the online public opinion will only scold him one-sidedly for Zhang Qing's popularity.

"Come here, we ordered lamb skewers and bacon rolls, can you see what else you want to add?" Jia Hao asked while holding the menu.

"Give me some strings of fish tofu." Zhang Qing said.

Jia Hao wrote a few words on the menu, "Where's Brother Chen?"

"I'll just eat the same food as you." Zhou Nanchen lowered his head and drank his tea after speaking.

There are enough old cadres, Zhang Qing smiled while watching.

Jia Hao is quite an interesting person, and he is very active in organizing such group activities where people who are at odds with each other get together. No wonder Yin Ling can chat with him. In fact, as long as one of these two people is around, the atmosphere will not be cold.When the two of them get together, others can sing an opera without opening their mouths.

Before the barbecue was served, half of the beer in Yin Ling's glass went down, "Hey, do you know why Brother Hao is treating you today?"

"Why?" Chen Lou answered the question in a very dignified manner.

"Brother Hao, tell yourself." Yin Ling shoved Jia Hao.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Jia Hao was a little embarrassed, "It's nothing serious..."

"Brother No. is on 'Extreme Adventure'!" Yin Ling spoke for him.

"Extreme adventure?" Chen Lou exclaimed, "It's amazing!"

Extreme Adventure is quite a popular variety show in the recent reality shows. I dare not say it is the first, but it has to be the second or third level.

"No, no, it's not permanent, it's like showing your face once." Jia Hao waved his hand, but he couldn't hide the pride in his eyes.

"It's amazing to show your face once. I don't know when I'll be on a variety show." Chen Lou said enviously.

"You want to be on a variety show?" Liang Yu, who had been silent all this time, opened his mouth.

"Ah, yes." Chen Lou smiled sheepishly, "I think it's quite fun."

"Next time, I'll help you find a better one to play with." Liang Yu took Chen Lou's cup and filled it up.

"Really? Thank you brother." Chen Lou said pleasantly, "Oh, yes, have you been on Extreme Adventure a few times?"

"Really?" Jia Hao was a little surprised, his awe-inspiring look seemed to be sitting next to a big shot.

"Well, I've been on it a few times, and then my body couldn't take it anymore, I was too tired." Liang Yu said with a smile, "But the people in that program team are pretty good, and it's not difficult to get along with."

"That's good, that's good." Jia Hao hurriedly picked up the wine bottle and poured wine for Liang Yu, "Brother, come and have a drink."

"You guys have all the barbecue!" The waiter put the iron plate on their table.

"Come on, let's eat before drinking!" Yin Ling complained, "If I have a stomachache tomorrow, I won't ask the director for leave for you!"

Jia Hao was still flirting with Liang Yu, asking him about his recent itinerary, what he was doing in Liancheng, and so on.

Zhang Qing didn't say much all the time, and concentrated on eating meat and drinking. After a while, three glasses of beer went down.

"Take it easy." Zhou Nanchen bumped his arm.

"What?" Zhang Qing raised his head.

"Just the amount you poured in this bottle, don't ask me to help you back later, that would be embarrassing." Zhou Nanchen said softly.

"How do you talk?" Zhang Qing bumped back, "I have to measure one and a half bottles now."

"Is there a difference?" Zhou Nanchen smiled.

"It seems that there is not much difference." Zhang Qing couldn't help laughing.

Zhou Nanchen could tell that Zhang Qing was a little depressed, probably because of the variety show topic discussed earlier.

Two of the people at the table were on that very powerful variety show, and the remaining one was a newcomer who had just entered the circle not long ago, and the other was a young lady who didn't rarely go to variety shows. No wonder he was depressed.

Because he didn't participate in the chat much, Zhang Qing ate a lot this meal, and the barbecue sticks piled up in a small pile by his hand.

"Brother Qing is very hungry today?" Jia Hao joked when he saw it.

"Isn't this your treat?" Zhang Qing said without changing expression, "I'm saving face for you. If this is Yin Ling's treat, I can eat three times more."

"Okay, brother Qing is awesome." Jia Hao was dumbfounded, so he gave him a thumbs up.

"We finished eating so quickly, let's order more?" Chen Lou suggested.

"Okay, what else do you want?" Jia Hao asked, "How about some crayfish?"

"I have no objection." Liang Yu smiled.

"Then a crayfish!" Jia Hao stretched out his hand to greet, "Hey waiter, another crayfish!"

"Don't steal them all this time." Yin Ling complained.

"No more." Zhang Qing rubbed his stomach, "I can't eat anymore."

While everyone was chatting lively, Zhang Qing noticed from the corner of his eyes that a very eye-catching black luxury car stopped in front of this ordinary food stall.

That car attracted a lot of attention, and the entire food stall stopped to look at the luxury car.

"Your family?" Jia Hao's first reaction was to ask Yin Ling.

"No." Yin Ling also looked confused, "My family doesn't have this kind of car."

Looking over Zhou Nanchen's shoulder, Zhang Qing saw at a glance that the car had nothing to do with Yin Ling, but the luxury car parked precisely in front of their table.

The car door opened, and a well-dressed man in his 50s stepped out of the car. His eyes scanned the food stalls and settled on their table.

To be precise, it was fixed on Liang Yu.

Liang Yu's expression changed when the car stopped. When the man got out of the car, he immediately stood up, turned around and wanted to leave.

"Run! Try running again!" the man shouted loudly.

Liang Yu stood still, but didn't look back.

The man was not in a hurry, and walked over step by step, frowning on his serious face, "You are not cowardly, you have come here to hide from me, do you really think I can't find you?"

Liang Yu bit his lips tightly and said nothing.

"Brother, what's going on?" Chen Lou was taken aback, and quickly stood up and chased after him, "Who are you, what are you going to do? If this happens again, we will call the police!"

The man sneered, and grabbed Liang Yu's arm, "Who am I, you ask your brother."

Confusion appeared on Chen Lou's face, "Brother?"

Liang Yu's face was full of pain and confusion, "Xiaolou, go back."

"Go back? What's going on, I don't ask how I can go back!" Chen Lou's eyes widened.

"Go back, don't worry about it." Liang Yu's words seemed to come from gritting his back molars, and Zhang Qing had never seen him like this.

"This is your good sister, it's the first time I've seen you today." The man gave Chen Lou an appreciative look, "As expected of siblings, they both have good skins."

"Don't think of her!" Liang Yu roared.

"Then just go back with me honestly." The man's voice was not loud, but there was a sense of majesty, then he lowered his voice and approached Liang Yu's ear, "Don't force me to follow you on the street in front of your sister." Do it."

"Brother, what's going on, huh?" Chen Lou was about to cry, "What relationship do you have with him, why do you want to go with him? Talk to me!"

"Go back, don't worry about it." Liang Yu just dropped this sentence, and followed the man into the car silently.

"What are you doing! What are you doing! There is no one who snatches people on the street like this!" Chen Lou rushed up and patted the window of the luxury car, but the owner of the car didn't care about her at all, and started the car and drove away.

"Brother!" Just as a taxi drove up from behind, Chen Lou opened the car door and jumped into it without any hesitation.As the taxi went away, the farce quieted down, leaving only a few outsiders sitting silently.

"Who is that person? Has anyone recognized him?" Jia Hao was the first to break the silence.

"Zhang Jiansen, Mr. Zhang." Yin Ling said, "The boss of Lixin Media."

"The two of them...?" Jia Hao made a gesture.

"It should be." Yin Ling sighed.

"Then her sister doesn't know?" Jia Hao was a little surprised.

"Chen Louyi, a newcomer who has just entered the industry for a few days, can know anything." Zhang Qing said irritably, "She even thought that the heroine of "Slow Time" was auditioned by herself."

Jia Hao was silent, and the atmosphere became a little stiff for a while.

"Don't discuss other people's affairs." Yin Ling said, "There will be lobsters later, let's eat."

That's what I said, but in fact, no one has any appetite to continue eating.After the lobster came up, I ate a few, and there was nothing left. In the end, I had to ask Jia Hao to pack it and take it away, saying that it would be a midnight snack.

On the way Zhou Nanchen drove Zhang Qing back, Zhang Qing kept silent, holding his chin to look at the light spots and color patches flying away outside the window.

About halfway through the road, Zhou Nanchen said, "What are you thinking?"

"I was thinking, sitting in the car like this, are we moving forward, or the city is retreating?" Zhang Qing still looked out the window.

Zhou Nanchen was taken aback, "So philosophical."

Zhang Qing smiled, "It's just random thoughts, don't worry about it."

Zhou Nanchen thought for a while and said, "I don't think it's important to go forward or back. The important thing is that we can reach our destination in this way, and that's enough."

Zhang Qing sighed, "The process is not important, is the result important?"

"I didn't say that." Zhou Nanchen said, "I mean, everyone has their own way of life, and life doesn't move at the same pace. Everyone has different goals in life."

Zhang Qing was silent for a while, and looked at the scenery outside the window before opening his mouth, "I knew before that Liang Yu must have capital behind him, otherwise all the same bad dramas were filmed, so he has no reason to steal so many fans. But knowing the return You know, seeing it with your own eyes is two different things.”

"Indeed." Zhou Nanchen admitted, "I was also taken aback. I didn't expect that the so-called benefactor could actually be so arrogant as to rob people in the street."

"I'm afraid Chen Lou is going to have a psychological shadow. I don't know how she will face her brother after seeing this." Zhang Qing sighed, "Liang Yu probably came out to hide because he couldn't bear it. He certainly didn't expect that. The gold master must have pushed him so hard."

Zhou Nanchen glanced at Zhang Qing, "With what happened today, are you still unwilling?"

Zhang Qing knew that his depression at that moment would definitely not escape Zhou Nanchen's eyes.

He smiled and said, "Yes. As long as I am an actor, I will be unwilling to be reconciled. I will not be content with the status quo. As long as I have the opportunity, I will definitely climb up. But I don't envy them, because I know, They paid more than me."

Zhou Nanchen glanced at Zhang Qing in surprise.

"The rules in this circle are actually very simple, that is, equivalent exchange." Zhang Qing closed his eyes and leaned his head on the back of the seat, "You can't just look at the glamor of others, but you can't see the blood and mud behind them. Do you think The unspoken rules are so easy to hide, there are so many celebrities, why should the boss of the National People's Congress take a fancy to you."

"That Liang Yu..." Zhou Nanchen asked, "Is he gay?"

"No." Zhang Qing said, "When I was filming with him, I could actually feel that he was quite resistant to same-sex physical contact. In fact, there was no physical contact in that film, just hugging and leaning on the shoulder, but Every time he gets to this kind of scene, he will NG several times."

Zhou Nanchen frowned, "Then he still..."

"That's why I said that people like Liang Yu gave more than me." Zhang Qing smiled.

With such an episode, today's dinner is quite a bit of a bad breakup.Back at the apartment, Zhang Qing didn't say much, touched Van Gogh, and went to the bathroom with a change of clothes.

"Oh, that's right." Zhou Nanchen called out to him, "Yesterday you asked me to check your email for you. There are a few endorsements that invite you, do you want to take a look?"

"Oh." Zhang Qing almost forgot about it, he rubbed his eyes, "Forget it, you can send it to Duanmurou, I'm really tired today and just want to go to bed quickly."

"That's fine." Zhou Nanchen smiled, "Go now, good night."

"Good night." Zhang Qing yawned and walked into the bathroom.

Zhou Nanchen turned on his laptop, logged into Zhang Qing's mailbox, and forwarded those emails to Duanmurou one by one, then his eyes stopped on the "mother" email that was not deleted yesterday.

——Qingqing, I am mother.I haven't been able to find any contact information for you for so many years...

Van Gogh jumped on Zhou Nanchen's lap, tilted his head and rubbed against him, Zhou Nanchen reached out and touched Van Gogh's head, and sighed.

"Even after so many years, he is still the same Zhang Qing. Some things really haven't changed at all."

Van Gogh meowed.

"You think so too, don't you?" Zhou Nanchen rubbed Van Gogh's ears, "But you didn't know him in high school, when he was so stubborn that he couldn't move eight cows."

Van Gogh lay down on Zhou Nanchen's lap, purring comfortably.

"So, it's better not to bother him at this juncture, right?"

Zhou Nanchen's hand left Van Gogh, moved to the mouse, and selected delete in the lower right corner of the email.
