lark

A few days later, Qin Peng moved away smoothly, and Lin Nan resumed a peaceful life alone.

Qi Yubai picked up a car without notifying him in advance, and even bought the supporting parking space in the community.He didn't care whether Lin Nan opened it or not, he just said, "If you don't like it, you can let it go."

Lin Nan really didn't like it.Compared to receiving these expensive gifts, he hoped to see Qi Yubai a few more times.It's a pity that Qi Yubai seems to be more willing to use material to offset the debt, at least Lin Nan thinks so.

The file of the previous costume drama has been successfully set, and all the crew members have been notified in the group, and there will be an intensive promotional schedule afterwards.This meant that Lin Nan had to meet Qi Jiawen several times.After the last incident, Qi Jiawen contacted him and wanted to ask him out for dinner, but Lin Nan declined.

In fact, Lin Nan vaguely connected the whole incident with fragments, but the memory in the middle is missing, and many details are not clear.He really wanted to figure it out completely, but he didn't want to go out with Qi Jiawen alone anymore, anyway, it's the same when we meet and talk about it when the new drama is promoted.

When having dinner with Qi Yubai on the weekend, Lin Nan couldn't help telling him about it.

There are not many people in the restaurant, each table is separated by more than one meter, and everyone's voice is not loud, only the crisp sound of knives and forks hitting the porcelain.

"Mr. Qi, I may be going to participate in a TV series after a while." Lin Nan put down his knife and fork and wiped his mouth.

"Hmm." Qi Yubai lowered his head and cut the steak, sounding like he was coping casually.

"Maybe... Maybe I still have to see Qi Jiawen."

Qi Yubai raised his head and looked at him, Lin Nan hurriedly explained: "It's the male lead in the last play, you, the one you bumped into."

The recent relationship between the two has reached an ambiguous stage, and now talking about the incident at that time is like doing bad things secretly behind the back of the real boyfriend, and it is a bit hard to say for no reason.

"I'm not Alzheimer's." Qi Yubai said, "I didn't lose my memory so quickly."

Lin Nan snorted, and seeing that he was silent, he said, "It's all right, I just wanted to tell you."

Qi Yubai forked a piece of steak into his mouth, chewed it slowly and said lightly: "When you see him, remember to stay away."

"Huh?" Lin Nan raised his head and stared at the person in front of him with wide eyes, only to see Qi Yubai meet his gaze, his eyes were calm and without any special emotion, "If you want to make a scandal, then forget it."

"I don't want to..." Lin Nan looked at him and said, "I'll still ask about what happened last time, and ask him what's going on."

"What else could be going on." Qi Yubai said, "Didn't the two recite the lines together?" He meant the explanation Lin Nan gave him—reciting the lines in the stairwell, it sounded like he had been worrying about it all the time.

"I……"

Lin Nan didn't know how to answer the conversation anymore, when Qi Yubai wanted to stab you, there were many ways to do it.

A meal that was originally good, but for some reason, the taste changed after eating.The tinkling of knives and forks was even louder than before.Seeing that Qi Yubai was not very happy, Lin Nan knew that he had talked about something he didn't want to talk about, so he braked the car in time, smiled at him after a while and said, "I'm going to interview a new character tomorrow. The new drama directed by Zhisen has not yet been named, it is still in ancient costumes. I don’t know if I can make it..."

Actors don't choose their themes as they please, and often market choices conflict with personal development.Of course, the show crew hopes to choose experienced actors who are good at acting. Even if the actors themselves want to try new genres, they may not have the opportunity to speak with them.But Lin Nan doesn't dislike acting in two ancient costumes in succession, he hasn't reached the point of being picky yet.

Lin Nan was very nervous in this interview, because Hou Ziwen told him to interview the male third, but the second male can also try.At this moment, he thought of it and wanted to talk to Qi Yubai.The two of them didn't have much in common before, and Qi Yubai almost never talked to him about work matters, only Lin Nan took the initiative to tell him about his own affairs.

Unexpectedly, Qi Yubai didn't understand his heart at all. After listening to his words, he thought about it seriously and said, "I know the director, but I'm not familiar with it. So I'm afraid I can't help you."

He thought that Lin Nan said this because he wanted to give him a boost and help him win the role.

The expression on Lin Nan's face froze for a moment: "That's not what I meant."

The rare good mood of eating with Qi Yubai disappeared in an instant.Why are Qi Yubai and I not always on the same channel, why Qi Yubai always talks about help and resources when he opens his mouth and shuts up.Could it be that in Qi Yubai's eyes, every word he said had a purpose, and he made demands every now and then.

He felt that he had become more and more greedy in the past few months. Not only would he not feel disappointed when he heard Qi Yubai say such things in the past, but he would also be grateful that the other party thought of him.It's different now, the relationship between the two is getting closer and closer, and a little hope has been ignited in his heart, but Qi Yubai can always put everything back to its original shape in a few words, and remind him several times what the relationship between the two is.

The pressure of the meal was very low, and Qi Yubai had to stay at the company to have something to do at night, so Lin Nan insisted on leaving first.Qi Yubai originally wanted him to stay until 10 o'clock before taking him home, but Lin Nan refused directly.

Back at the company, the door of the president's office was wide open, and Zhang Hong was replacing the documents that needed Qi Yubai's signature, piled up on the table in a thick pile.

Qi Yubai threw the car keys on the table forcefully, made a loud bang, and said to him, "Why haven't you left yet." Obviously, he was not feeling well.

Zhang Hong looked at the door, but there was no sign of Lin Nan.

"Boss Qi, you told me in the afternoon that you have something to talk to me tonight."

Zhang Hong reminded him aloud, saying that he was really not doing nothing here.Qi Yubai recalled that he had indeed said this, sat down and pointed to the chair opposite.

"Why are there so many to sign? Didn't you already sign a batch this morning?"

When you are in a bad mood, nothing is pleasing to your eyes.

Zhang Hong looked at the documents that were not a few millimeters taller than usual, adjusted his glasses and said, "The International Department has a lot of new business, but it's not too urgent. It doesn't matter if you don't want to sign and release it."

Qi Yubai picked up a stack of English agreements and glanced at them, quickly flipped through two pages and threw them back on the pile of documents, "You didn't even post the instruction label?"

Zhang Hong feels that if this continues, his faults will continue to appear.He simply asked, "what's the matter with you, you look tired."

"Is there?" Qi Yubai rubbed his eyebrows.

"Dinner not to your liking?"

"It's nothing to do with the rice." Qi Yubai leaned back on the swivel chair, "It's the person who doesn't like you."

"Lin Nan?" Zhang Hong's eyes lit up, and he moved closer to the table.

"Why are you so energetic..." Qi Yubai glanced at him: "It's not him, it's me. I'm afraid I don't suit him."

"Oh?" There was a half-smile on Zhang Hong's face, "Are you fighting again?"

"Can you stop being so nasty in your tone." Qi Yubai said, "Don't use words like quarrel, okay?"

"That--"

"Now that his wings are stiff, he dares to make a face even if he eats with me."

Hearing this, Zhang Hong became even more energetic, and said persuasively, "A long face means unhappy. Why is he unhappy?"

As the first secretary, he was always very interested in the boss's gossip, not to mention that it was the first time Qi Yubai had such a desire to confide.No one can miss seeing his unsmiling boss slumped.

The pen in Qi Yubai's hand tapped twice on the table: "Who knows if it's because I insulted him or because I don't help him get new plays."

"Insult sounds like a more nasty word."

"you--"

Before Qi Yubai got really angry, Zhang Hong helped him out and said, "I'm just joking. Lin Nan shouldn't be that way. You praised him for being sensible before."

Qi Yubai said this, but he said it casually, and didn't mean to praise him in front of Zhang Hong.It's like when a person is at the peak of his emotions when he likes something very much, he can't help but say a few words to his closest friends, expressing similar feelings of "this book is very good" and "this movie is really good". .

Thinking of this, Qi Yubai said to Zhang Hong: "I used to think he was very sensible, but now he is getting more and more willful."

The corner of Zhang Hong's mouth ticked, "Otherwise, you should change someone else, there are quite a few newcomers who are interesting recently."

"You speak lightly."

People are not clothes, so there is no reason to change them at will.

"Cough." The first secretary on the opposite side coughed twice, his face turned a little red from holding back, "Since you don't want to change, you should be more patient. If it doesn't work, I strongly demand that he invest in his new play. Fang doesn’t think it’s too much money.”

"How can it be so simple." Qi Yubai said, "It's not up to me to decide which film to vote for or not to vote for. If a layman doesn't understand, you don't understand either?"

"You're right, it's because I didn't think it through enough." Zhang Hong nodded with a smile, looking like he was being educated, "It's right not to be used to the other party. Just like my wife, when I go abroad, she asks me to buy this Buy that, one trip is not enough for me to swipe my card at the duty-free shop. At this time, I simply won’t be satisfied with all of them. She wants three, and I can buy two at most.”

Qi Yubai clicked his tongue, "Can you stop using your wife and son as an example, besides, such comparisons are nonsense."

Zhang Hong heard the words "shit doesn't make sense" from the boss who has always been gentle and polite, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, he opened his palm and used his thumb and ring finger to pretend to hold up his glasses, so as to block the corners of his mouth, "What's wrong? "

"I don't approve of investment because I don't want to make an exception for personal matters, not because I don't have enough funds."

"Well, of course—" Zhang Hong sincerely agreed, "I believe that the boss will not ignore the company's system just to make someone happy."

Qi Yubai waved his hand sullenly: "Stop doing this."

"Actually, why bother." Zhang Hong said with a smile, "Let Lin Nan act in the play Ben Yun cast, and everything will be fine."

"Don't I know?" Qi Yubai said lightly.

Ben Yun has a lot of good dramas in his hands, and the role suitable for Lin Nan is naturally indispensable.But Qi Yubai guessed that even if he asked Lin Nan, he wouldn't want it. He didn't know whether he should say that he was fake and arrogant or blindly confident.

After finishing their gossip, the two stopped joking and discussed business matters seriously for nearly an hour.

When Qi Yubai sat alone in front of the french windows, he always felt that there was something in his heart. It seemed that after breaking up with Lin Nan today, he didn't have enough internal organs, and he had to do one thing to feel better.

The road downstairs is far away, but occasionally one or two cars in the traffic flow resemble the one he bought for Lin Nan.The LEDs of the building in the distance are advertising the new drama of Satellite TV. There is an actor in a modern drama wearing a light-colored sweater like Lin Nan.Even the scrolling subtitles on the outer wall of the building next door have sold more than [-] million copies of Southern paper magazines.

It's really hard to hide.

Not long after, he looked at the city night scene and neon lights outside the window and called Lin Nan.

"Mr. Qi?" Lin Nan's voice sounded a little surprised, not like he was still angry.

Qi Yubai hummed and said, "Ready to sleep?"

"Not yet." Lin Nan said, "Is there anything wrong with Mr. Qi?"

Qi Yubai paused here for two seconds, and finally asked in a low voice as if admitting defeat: "Where is your interview tomorrow, and what time will it end?"

It took Lin Nan a moment to understand what Qi Yubai meant. He reported the time and place tomorrow with a surprise, and asked him, "I'll see you, Mr. Qi."

"See if I'm free tomorrow." Qi Yubai said, "I'll pick you up when I'm free."

"Okay. I'll wait for you." Lin Nan's smile came across the phone, "If you don't have time, just let me know."

The night was quiet again.Qi Yubai still had some work to do, so he called Lin Nan first.But he doesn't have the energy to deal with the company's affairs now, because there is always a voice talking to him in his heart tonight: admit it, you care about him a lot.

Qi Yubai never thought about loving anyone, but he has normal perception ability.Lin Nan would want to help him solve the difficulties encountered in his life, perhaps out of a man's arrogance and pity for the weak.But if you mind Lin Nan's dealings with other people and his bad attitude towards him, it is difficult to explain it in words other than caring about him.

Maybe I have really been with Lin Nan for too long, Qi Yubai thought, so long that Lin Nan has invaded his life, just like having his toothbrush and bath towel in Bohai, in Qi Yubai's heart Lin Nan also had a place.The car they shared finally deviated from the correct track in Qi Yubai's hands, and it was useless to activate the calibration system, whoever made the driver not want to get back on track.

He tried to brake, but his foot wouldn't work.He tried his best to ignore the voice in his heart, intending to pretend to be one day at a time.Maybe there is still room for everything, so it doesn't matter how much Lin Nan is.Qi Yubai does whatever he wants in everything, but he is always restrained when it comes to emotional issues, and he can't go fast no matter what with a heavy burden on his back.

The lights are brilliant at night, and most of the science and technology office buildings opposite are also lit. Employees in the building occasionally appear in front of the windows, hurrying between typewriters and workstations, each busy with their livelihoods.Qi Yubai lost his mind for a while, then turned around to deal with the backlog of mail, and stopped thinking about it.
