Death Progress Bar

After a few days of fighting with Zhang Zhuoyuan, Lu Shan and Zhang Zhuoyuan finally showed a compromising attitude, agreed to reconciliation, and began to help the officials clean up the messed up economy of Province G.But she seems to have not completely calmed down. Although she agreed to the reconciliation and did help the authorities, she directly shut down a large number of peripheral enterprises that had been blocked before, and packed all the goods detained at the port for shipment. I went to Baodao to pile it up, and I don’t plan to continue selling it, which means it’s a bit broken.

Zhang Zhuoyuan was terrified when he saw it. He was afraid that the tarantula was still not convinced and was planning to take revenge on the officials. He hurriedly contacted Lian Jun and wanted him to make up his mind.Lianjun comforted Zhang Zhuoyuan with the inference that "the tarantula should be planning to integrate its forces, cut off the damaged branches, and preserve its strength as much as possible, so as to form an alliance with Wumen and Qianye smoothly", and then hinted that he should pay more attention to snake teeth recently.

"Snake tooth?" Zhang Zhuoyuan was puzzled when he heard the words, and asked, "What happened to the snake tooth? Hasn't it withdrawn from Province G?"

"It did withdraw from Province G, but it turned around and went to Baodao. Members of my branch have seen snake-toothed ships in the offshore of Baodao." Lian Jun explained, signaling to get ready in advance. I sent the information to the official mailbox, and then continued, "Look at your mailbox, I asked the people below to track the Snake Tooth ship for a few days, and found that they often wandered around the tarantula's cargo transportation line."

Zhang Zhuoyuan is not stupid. He realized something when he heard the cargo transportation line. While turning on the computer to check the email from Lian Jun, he frowned and said, "Snake Fang is the product that wants to rob the tarantula? It sent me the Are the documents falling on your ears?"

"The document you issued is only to prohibit malicious competition between organizations. Even if Snake Fang robs the tarantula's goods now, it is only moving the tarantula's property, not the leader's life, so it is not considered a taboo."

Zhang Zhuoyuan was sobered up by Lian Jun's words, swallowed the words he wanted to scold Snake Fang aggrievedly, quickly opened the email and looked at the content, saw that there were only a few ordinary ships in the photo, and was a little suspicious, and said: " This is really a snake-toothed boat? How did you recognize it?"

"Naturally we have our own methods." Lian Jun is not a person who knows everything, so he directly ambiguous his question, and then said, "If Snake Fang really wants to grab the goods, then this transportation line There will definitely be conflicts online, you can contact Tarantula to ask about the departure time of their cargo, and clear up the route in due course so that other innocent cargo ships will not be caught in the pond, the current economy of Province G cannot withstand another turmoil."

Zhang Zhuoyuan was stunned when he heard the words, and asked, "It's just because of this that you asked me to pay attention to snake teeth?" Isn't it to stop this matter?

"Otherwise?" Lian Jun asked back, and said lightly, "It's just a batch of goods. Whether it is robbed or not will not affect the current strength of Tarantula. Conflicts between violent organizations are common, and it does not affect the balance of the four. Next, they can toss as much as they like, I don't have so much energy to take care of it."

Zhang Zhuoyuan felt a toothache when he heard it, and said in embarrassment: "We can directly start a conflict near the sea, our position..."

"You have to ask Snake Fang who is about to do it. He decided to rob the tarantula's goods when he knew the official position was in a dilemma, and even chose to do it on the transportation line. Did Snake Fang put the official position on it? In my eyes. But I can understand Snake Ya’s actions this time. It expands too fast and its funds can’t keep up. If it doesn’t replenish funds, it will probably collapse from within.” Lian Jun said, his tone seemed to be talking about today The weather was fine, very flat and cold.

Zhang Zhuoyuan was sure that Lian Jun was still a little angry with the authorities, and he didn't dare to touch him, so he tried to speak in a tone that suggested discussion: "In that case, wouldn't it be better to just let it crash? Maybe we can help Tarantula stop it." Snake Tooth's robbery this time..."

"It can be stopped, but it's not necessary." Lian Jun replied, explaining, "If Snake Fang continues to expand so smoothly, then in order to prevent its power from expanding too quickly, it is also possible to suppress it appropriately, but it is too much to let it collapse directly. Too much effort is not rewarding. For an organization as big as Snake Tooth, it is not too difficult to find a way to absorb funds. We can stop it this time, but what about next time? It is unrealistic to keep staring at it. Now is a critical moment. Too distracting."

Zhang Zhuoyuan pondered, and asked: "Then let it go like this?"

"As long as it doesn't try to bite the other three organizations and break the current balance of power, it's okay to let it go. The four of them will definitely form an alliance in the end. The more conflicts they have now, the more trust they will have after forming an alliance. The situation will be more beneficial to us. The leaders of Tarantula, Meridian Gate, and Chiba are all cautious and shrewd people. In their alliance, they need a dictator like Yuan Peng, the leader of Snake Tooth. The enemy is too united. It’s not a good thing, the rat shit of Snake Tooth is very necessary.”

Lian Jun finished his explanation, and then concluded: "In short, the Snake Tooth organization needs to pay more attention to it, and don't let it develop too smoothly, but it doesn't need to be too concerned, as long as it doesn't touch the other three companies, it can do whatever it wants. "

Zhang Zhuoyuan was enlightened when he heard this, and he admired Lianjun very much, he quickly responded, and said: "You still have the foresight, then I don't care about the snake tooth robbing the tarantula cargo this time, I will let someone clear the route .”

"Well, it's hard work." Lian Jun hung up the phone after finishing speaking, looked at the tablet with the video call turned on, and said to Lu Shan opposite, "That's it. Then you should bite it back and try to delay its alliance with Meridian Gate and Qianye with this excuse. If the snake teeth affect your interests in Treasure Island, then you can directly stab the authorities and let them know. He will help you get ahead, and hexagram three and hexagram five will also take the opportunity to avenge you."

It was the first time that Lu Shan saw Lian Jun and Zhang Zhuoyuan discussing alone. She flicked Zhang Zhuoyuan with a few words to Lianjun, and abruptly led Zhang Zhuoyuan to change the topic from "Is the tarantula secretly playing with some moths again? Do you want to be on guard?" , Turned to "The organization of Snake Tooth is a piece of mouse feces, it must be stared at carefully, and it must not be damaged by the other three", I only felt that my scalp was numb.

This guy is a monster, and it's good that I'm not his enemy.

"No, no problem, then my goods can leave the port?" Her voice was inexplicably dry.

"Let's go, after so long, Snake Fang should be impatient. Remember to tell Wumen and Qianye about Snake Fang's movements, their leaders will know what to do."

Lu Shan responded quickly, hung up the phone first, and wiped the cold sweat off her brow.

Under Lianjun's beautiful human skin, there must be some alien creature hidden...

……

In the study room, when Shi Jin saw Mr. Lian had finished chatting, he hurriedly brought a few approved documents in front of Mr. Lian, and said nervously, "I've finished it, take a look."

Lian Jun's indifferent expression quickly melted, took the document and flipped through it, the corners of his mouth slowly turned up, and boasted: "Yes, you have memorized everything Mr. Feng taught."

Shi Jin heaved a sigh of relief, and asked happily, "Then can I help you share part of the work?"

Lian Jun changed the subject and asked, "What do you want for dinner?"

Shi Jin's expression collapsed, and he asked, "Isn't that okay?"

"Learning needs to be done step by step, take your time." Lian Jun comforted him, turned his head to look at the beach outside through the window, and asked, "Will your third brother come to eat today?"

Shi Jin heard the words and glanced at the beach outside the window, the smile on his face faded, and he replied: "Probably not, the starring role was a bit stuck yesterday, and the crew's progress was delayed a bit, he has to help there."

"Unhappy?" Lian Jun asked.

Shi Jin withdrew his gaze, glanced at Lian Jun, sat down on the desk opposite him, shook his head and said, "It's not that I'm unhappy, but I just feel that I can't cheer up anything."

Lian Jun pointed at the tabletop, slid out of the desk, stopped beside him, put his arms around his waist, and leaned over to kiss him.

Shi Jin blinked, closed his eyes and let him kiss meekly.

Breath intertwined, breath exchanged.It was a comforting kiss. After the kiss, Lian Jun rubbed Shi Jin's ruddy lips with a smile, and said, "Sure enough, if I kissed you like this in normal times, you would have pounced on me a long time ago." .”

Shi Jin retorted: "It's not every time...um."

Lian Jun kissed him again, and moved his hand along his back comfortingly, then moved down a little bit, opened the hem of his clothes, and touched it lightly.

The lips are released and breathing is free again.The gentle broken kiss moved from the cheek to the ear, and then the earlobe was lightly bitten.No matter how sluggish Shi Jin was, he was aroused a little at this moment, and stretched out his arms to hug Lian Jun, touching his belt.

knock knock knock.

There was a sudden knock on the study door.

Lian Jun and Shi Jin paused in unison, and they looked at each other, one with regret, and the other still not reacting.

"Wait until the evening." Lian Jun kissed Shi Jin's lips again, helped him straighten up the hem of his clothes and messy hair, and smoothed himself out, and then called to come in.

Gua Liu knew what was going on inside when he knocked on the door and didn't hear the answer immediately, and when he was regretting and hesitating whether to leave first, Lian Jun's voice came out, very calm and flat.

Did he misunderstand?

Hexagram Six was a little embarrassed, so he turned his mind to open the door and went in. Seeing that Shi Jin was sitting at the desk and looking through the documents, and Lian Jun was sitting beside him, the two of them looked like they were just in class, and immediately spurned their thoughts in their hearts. The pure self stabilized her voice and reported: "Mr. Rong is here."

Rong Zhouzhong is here?

Shi Jin looked sideways towards the door.

"Go, I should be here for dinner." Lian Jun took away the documents in his hand, and said soothingly, "I'll find you after finishing my work... Don't think about it, I'm always here."

Seeing his gentle and reliable appearance, Shi Jin couldn't help stretching out his arms to hug him.

……

Rong Zhouzhong is wearing a simple black T-shirt today, without glasses, although his hair is still brown and curly because of the needs of filming, but it is a bit messy, the whole person's temperament has finally moved closer to his true nature .

"The filming is over?" Shi Jin took the initiative to greet and sat opposite him.

Seeing him coming, Rong Zhouzhong sat up a little bit, and replied: "No, there will be a night scene tonight, and my scene will be finished after filming."

Shi Jin instantly understood why he came, and asked, "Tonight?"

"If you want." Rong Zhouzhong replied, looking at him all the time, his eyes were rare calm, and his expression was rare calm and serious.

Shi Jin couldn't describe how he felt at this moment, he was a little dazed, a little wanting to escape, and a little wanting to get violent and beat up Rong Zhouzhong again, so as not to let him show such an expression that didn't fit his character.

"Let's do it tonight. There is an audio-visual room on the second floor, which can be used normally. I've prepared the film and I can start watching it anytime. Do you want a midnight snack? I'll ask the kitchen aunt to prepare some."

Rong Zhouzhong replied, "Then let's have cake."

cake.

There was a brief butt of memory, and both of them knew what this movie represented.They looked at each other, but they couldn't see the real emotion in each other's eyes. Everyone seemed to put on a mask called politeness. They knew that there was blood dripping from hurting each other in front of them. At this time, they had to stabilize themselves The last semblance of peace.

Rong Zhouzhong suddenly avoided Shi Jin's sight, got up and left, his steps were a bit big and his speed was a bit fast.

Shi Jin didn't keep him, and listened to the sound of his leaving footsteps until the sound faded away, then turned his head to look in the direction of the balcony, found the back of Rong Zhouzhong walking on the long bridge, and quietly watched him leave.

……

After dinner, Shi Jin sat on the edge of the long bridge, looking in the direction of the crew, watching them filming with the clairvoyance buff.

Yesterday, after the lead actor got stuck in the play all afternoon, he finally found his feeling.Today, the crew will be transferred to the ship to film the plot where the main character grows up and is chased from the ship into the sea by the enemy. When he falls into the sea, he remembers the death of the teacher in the sea at the beginning, and breaks through the demon when he is on the verge of death.

This plot is very important, and it is the key to the psychological transformation of the protagonist. Rong Zhouzhong will appear again as a demon and the protagonist's hallucination, and talk with the protagonist on the endless sea.In order to make this conversation more impactful, the director asked Rong Zhouzhong to keep his body soaked throughout the whole process, half of his body soaked in the water, with a posture of a "water ghost" like standing in the water, and floating on the sea surface. The lead actor on the show speaks.

Before shooting this scene that is destined to be very tormenting, Rong Zhouzhong still needs to be with the lead actor, before the evening light disappears before the clothes and hair are wet, and after the lead actor gets rid of the demons, the teacher played by Rong Zhouzhong The scene of getting rid of the "water ghost" appearance and returning to the usual gentle face and gradually disappearing was well shot.

The scene was filmed on the beach, and it follows the main character waking up after getting rid of his demons, and finds himself rescued by being washed on the beach by the waves.

Shi Jin watched the scene where Rong Zhouzhong was bathed in the warm light of the evening, gently waved goodbye to the crying protagonist, turned around and walked slowly into the end of the light, and suddenly remembered the scene of the original owner and Rong Zhou at the birthday party that year. Blowing out the candles together.

At that time, Shi Xingrui was standing on the other side of the table, holding a video camera to record the scene of the original owner's birthday.The original owner dragged Rong Zhouzhong together, to celebrate Rong Zhouzhong's winning of Best Actor, ordered another cake for Rong Zhouzhong, and blew out the candles with him.

Two cakes, two people, each blowing out their own candles, stand together to receive the blessings of the family, and the scene looks like they are having birthdays at the same time.Their common father stood across the table smiling lovingly, and his figure briefly overlapped with thousands of ordinary fathers who love their children in this world.

The original owner smiled after blowing out the candles, and turned his head to look at his most dazzling third brother.He thought that the third brother would also be happy, but he saw that under the cover of the smoke rising after the candle was extinguished, the third brother's eyelids were half drooped, and the beautiful peach eyes were full of sadness, gray, It's like there's no light at all.

It was just a short moment. When the smoke cleared, the third brother smiled happily, hugged him sideways, and said thank you and happy birthday to him.

It seems that from that day on, the third brother gradually became the current Rong Zhouzhong. He seemed to have stripped the most sensitive and soft part of himself from his body, and lived into the current expression of "You make me unhappy, I am not happy." I must be more unhappy than you" with a stingy and vindictive look.

"Actor is indeed the most suitable career for him." Shi Jin said, looking at Rong Zhouzhong who was about to board the boat to shoot the last scene in the distance, his voice was barely audible, "It's great that he can be an actor .”

Without the shield of an actor, and without those movie worlds where emotions can be thrown at will, Rong Zhouzhong will probably become the second Li Jiuzheng, no, maybe it will be the second Shi Weichong, anyway, it will definitely not be the present Rongzhouzhong.

The more he looked through those memories, the more he understood that the hurt was always mutual.Intentional injury is injury, and unintentional injury is also injury.They are both victims and perpetrators, and neither is right.

When the sound of the ship setting sail came, Shi Jin came back to his senses, only then did he realize that the crew had already boarded the ship, and it was time to film the scene where the protagonist falls into the sea and breaks the demon.

He instinctively looked towards the deck of the ship, trying to find that familiar figure, but he didn't need to look for that person, standing very conspicuously on the deck where he could see it at a glance, holding a pair of binoculars directly look this way.

When he was caught peeping, Shi Jin was startled, quickly lowered his head and retracted his gaze, and then realized that he was looking over there with the clairvoyance buff. On the surface, it looked like he was simply looking at the scenery, but in fact There is no need to dodge at all.

Careless.

He was a little stiff, wanted to raise his head but didn't dare, so he just raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, pretending to be tired from looking at the scenery, got up and walked towards the villa.

……

Shi Jin nestled in the house for half an hour, reckoning that the crew had already started filming, and then left the villa again, found a spot on the balcony with a good view, and continued to peek at Daye—even though he didn't know that he was Why are you suddenly so obsessed with peeking at Rong Zhouzhong's filming?

It was already completely dark, Shi Jin asked Xiao Si to apply the night vision buff for himself, then took out the snacks that Rong Zhouzhong had sent earlier, and watched while eating.

Rong Zhouzhong had already entered the water, and was lying on a life-saving board to give a speech to the main character, looking very serious.The staff was busy setting up around the two of them, and the director was checking the safety equipment used by Rong Zhouzhong.

About ten minutes later, the preparations were finally completed, and the leading actor floated face up on the water, showing a numb look with no desire to survive.Rong Zhouzhong was half-hung by tools and soaked in the water, slowly adjusting his posture.Although there are staff members wearing diving suits hiding under the water to help him stabilize his body balance, it is still very difficult to pretend to be standing in the water as if nothing had happened under such circumstances.

Fortunately, the weather tonight is very good, the moon is very round, and the light that shines down is deserted and natural, which is in line with the mood of the plot. There is no wind, and the sea is very calm, which did not hinder the shooting.

Finally, after another ten minutes, the filming officially started.

Shi Jin sat too far away, he could only see the picture but not hear the sound, and because of the position, he could only see Rong Zhouzhong's profile.But that's enough, all he wants now is to see Rong Zhouzhong, it doesn't matter whether he can see clearly.

The "heart demon" in the play sometimes comforts and encourages the leading actor, sometimes questions him in a cold voice, sometimes wants to save the students from the water, and sometimes wants to drag the students into hell together. Outside the play, Shi Jin looks at Rong Zhouzhong who seems to be a different person , the posture slowly changed from sitting to leaning, from leaning to paralyzed, and finally simply moved the rattan table over and lay down on it.

After an unknown amount of time, Shi Jin was full after eating snacks, but Rong Zhouzhong's filming hadn't finished yet.

During the short break, Rong Zhouzhong sat on the lifeboat for rest, draped in a blanket, frowning and reprimanding the leading actor, who was sitting in another boat, bowing his head and listening in frustration.

The shooting doesn't seem to be going well.

Shi Jin thought about it, looked at Rong Zhouzhong frowning and speaking in anger, and slowly closed his eyes—has anyone ever told Rong Zhouzhong that his seriously angry appearance is actually scary, compared to Shi Wei? Both Chong and Fei Yujing were more terrifying.

It's really fierce.

……

Lian Jun opened the floor-to-ceiling windows, slid the wheelchair to Shi Jin's side, and covered him with a blanket.

Gua Liu stood behind him worriedly, and asked, "Master Jun, do you want to take Shi Shao in?"

"No need." Lian Jun replied, carefully tucked up Shi Jin's blanket, touched Shi Jin's preoccupied face even when he was asleep, and said, "This is between him and Rong Zhouzhong, he said to wait Zhou Zhong will watch a movie together after filming, then let him wait."

"But this will make you sick." Gua Liu was still very worried, and even wanted to sigh.

Everyone could see Shi Jin's anomaly during this time, but they didn't know how to comfort him.All the changes started after Rong Zhouzhong came over. Shi Jin's problems must have something to do with Rong Zhouzhong, but considering the complex family environment of Shi's family, everyone should not ask rashly.

"Shi Shao seems to be a different person recently, always in a daze, sitting on the long bridge for a whole day..." Gua Liu said, saw Lian Jun looking at Shi Jin, and silently closed his mouth again.

Young Master Jun cares so much about Shi Jin that everyone can see it, so how could he not see it.

"...I'll get someone to move two screens to keep out the wind." He changed his words, then turned around and went to do it.

Lian Jun watched him leave, then looked back at Shi Jin, touched Shi Jin's face, leaned over to hug him, leaned his face next to his face, and rubbed it lightly.

"Get your spirits up." He whispered, with a sigh, "Don't forget that I'm always here."
