Chapter 41 Expectation

"A large truck rolled over at the exit of the high-speed tunnel, causing a multi-vehicle serial rear-end collision accident. Temporary traffic control is implemented on this section of the road..."

The real-time road conditions were broadcast on the radio, Chen Zhuo frowned, stepped on the accelerator, and the car moved forward a few meters at a turtle speed.

But this is just useless work, the accelerator pedal has no real effect other than getting him closer to the car in front.In the long and narrow tunnel, the bright red taillights strung together into a long dragon, which could not be seen at a glance.

The trumpet sounded one after another, making people more and more anxious.

"Estimated congestion time is more than one hour, drivers and friends please pay attention to detour..."

After the real-time traffic report, the zero o'clock chime sounded. Chen Yan picked up his phone and sent a text message.

The signal in the tunnel was poor. This message was wandering around on the phone for a long time, and it took a while before it was sent out smoothly.

"Are you in a hurry?"

Zhang Luyu on the side had been silently observing Chen Zhuo's expression. Chen Zhuo didn't respond, but the hands tightly holding the steering wheel had already told her the answer.

At this time, the mobile phone on the center console rang, and Chen Yao glanced at the information that popped up on the screen, then stepped on the brakes, put on the handbrake, leaned back on the back of the chair, and rushed to get the information before changing. Oscar's posture.

"It's all right now." He said to Zhang Luyu.

After Wen Tiancheng's birthday banquet in the evening, Chen Zhuo accompanied Zhang Luyu to meet some old friends, and then went out of the city to visit Bai Jie.The cemetery is on the edge of the expressway around the city, and it would not take much time to go back and forth under normal circumstances.Unfortunately, there was an unexpected accident, and now I can only be stuck in this tunnel.

Chen Zhuo's "it's okay" didn't sound convincing to Zhang Luyu. The traffic jam in front of him seemed to last for a long time, and the atmosphere in the carriage became irretrievably dull.

"Who are you having trouble with tonight? Keep a straight face all night." Zhang Luyu raised his head with one hand, looked at the rear lights of the car in front, and complained: "Pretending to be deep, it's not flattering at all."

Chen Zhuo looked away, looked at Zhang Luyu, and asked, "Is it obvious?"

"Isn't it?" Zhang Luyu sat up straight, stretched out his hand to flip down the shade on Chen Zhuo's head, and said, "Find a mirror to take a look at yourself."

Without a mirror, Chen Yao knew what he was like tonight. Even Zhang Luyu, who hadn't seen him for many years, could see the problem, and some heartless thing was still blind.

Chen Zhuo gritted his teeth and thought.

Seeing Lu Shaoheng at the birthday banquet tonight was completely beyond Chen Zhuo's expectations. During these days, Lu Shaoheng flew all over the world and turned down many activities. He did not expect to give Wen Tiancheng this face.

So seeing Lu Shaoheng at the venue today, Chen Zhuo's first reaction was surprise.But this astonishment only lasted for a short moment, and soon, more and more complicated emotions swept through.

Chen Zhuo looked at Zhang Luyu beside him.

Chen Zhuo also felt that he was a little split. From his personal point of view, he didn't want Lu Shaoheng and Zhang Luyu to meet.But when the two of them inevitably met, there was a vague expectation in his heart.

Looking forward to Lu Shaoheng's reaction when he sees Zhang Luyu.

But unfortunately, Lu Shaoheng didn't show anything special. He came here in a hurry, and became the focus of the crowd as soon as he showed up.During the banquet, there was no leakage of water and everything was exquisite, and everyone on the table was taken care of in a few words.In the end, he waved his sleeves and left gracefully, not caring how many pools of spring water were disturbed.

Lu Shaoheng and Zhang Luyu fell in love at first sight, which made Chen Zhuo feel disheartened.He knew that his emotions were unnecessary. After all, as early as Zhou Yang, and later those real and fake men and women, Lu Shaoheng had already shown with his actions that he didn't care about Chen Zhuo's emotional life, even if Zhang Luyu came back. exception.

Lu Shaoheng didn't do anything wrong, he perfectly abided by their original agreement, and told Chen Zhuo rationally that he shouldn't have any expectations of him. It was because he didn't grasp the boundaries a while ago and messed up the boundaries.

It's just that no matter how calm and restrained a person is, he will be overwhelmed by sensibility, and will be so depressed that it is difficult to maintain even a little decency on the surface.

Chen Zhuo and Zhang Luyu had known each other for so many years, and they had a tacit understanding with each other. Just as he was thinking about this person, Zhang Luyu also brought the topic to Lu Shaoheng.

"Shaoheng is Mr. Lu that Bai Jie mentioned before?" Zhang Luyu asked.

"En." Chen Zhuo responded, blocking his thoughts.

"It's not the same as the one in the rumors. He's quite an interesting person." Recalling Bai Jie's description back then, Zhang Luyu said with a smile: "If I were a few years younger, I would probably be confused by him too. .”

"Don't." Hearing what Zhang Luyu said, Chen Zhuo showed the only smile tonight: "He is gentle, considerate and affectionate to everyone. He can't be serious, otherwise he will suffer."

Just when Chen Zhuo and Zhang Luyu were stuck in the tunnel, the premiere of "The Long Road" officially started.

The movie uses a flashback technique. At the beginning, it is a long shot with a fixed camera position. The two actresses appear in the screen one by one, which immediately makes the audience have a sense of substitution.

The original version of "Long Road" was more than two hours long. Chen Yan deleted and edited it, and it took a lot of effort to cut it into the current 10-minute release version.

An hour and a half passed in the blink of an eye, and after the movie ended, there was endless applause in the theater.The string music of the ending song sounded, and the subtitles began to roll. With the light of the screen, Lu Shaoheng saw many fans in the front row wiping their tears.

The movie has ended, no audience left, and everyone sat patiently in their seats, watching the roll of credits on the screen.

As the ending song draws to a close, a line of subtitles pops up on the screen - "Special thanks to Zhang Luyu."

That's right, Lu Shaoheng suddenly remembered that this script was written by Zhang Luyu and Chen Yao together.At the dinner party today, I heard from Zhang Luyu that Chen Yao will play a cameo role in her new movie.

It can be seen that the weight of people is different after all. He tried his best to push Chen Yao to the front of the stage again.And with Zhang Luyu's words, Chen Zhuo easily made Chen Zhuo stand on the big screen again.

The lights in the theater came on, and Lu Shaoheng turned on the power again. He put on his hat and mask, and left the venue together in the crowd.

The nominations for this year's Flying Eagle Awards are about to be announced, and the media is doing random interviews in the lobby to warm up for the awards ceremony.When Lu Shaoheng came out of the theater, a video camera happened to stick in front of him. The young reporter held up the microphone and asked him if he had just finished watching the movie and what he thought of "Long Road".

Tonight, Lu Shaoheng didn't want to talk about things related to Chen Yao, but he didn't want to ignore the money-free publicity opportunities, so he didn't refuse, and as an enthusiastic movie fan, he answered several questions solemnly, including a lot of private goods.

I don't know if this little reporter wanted to make a hot topic, or he had some personal prejudices against Chen Zhuo. Seeing that Lu Shaoheng praised "Long Road", he abruptly changed the tone and compared Chen Yao and several new-generation directors. Putting them together for comparison, stepping on Chen Zhuo to praise others overtly and secretly, made Lu Shaoheng frown.

In the end, when the reporter compared Chen Zhuo with a director with exceptionally low character and tried to guide Lu Shaoheng in the direction of his evaluation, Lu Shaoheng interrupted him impatiently and said bluntly: "Chen Zhuo is the best of the new generation of young directors." Excellent, the others are not worthy of his shoes."

After finishing his sentence, he ignored the reporter's questioning and went straight to the elevator hall.

After Lu Shaoheng left, the crowd in the theater basically dispersed, and the media group also planned to call it a day and get off work.

Just as they were sorting out the equipment, a person hurried in from the empty hall.The man was tall, wearing a hat and mask, and a jacket over his suit, looking nondescript.

The reporter was discussing with the photographer where to go for a midnight snack, but ignored him and continued to pack the equipment with his head down.

Suddenly, his professional sensitivity made him realize that the person looked familiar.When he raised his head again, there was no one beside the poster.
