The Eye of the Storm

It took Zheng Yin a while to stop laughing, and patted his chest to comfort himself: "Okay, okay, I won't laugh anymore, come to Xiaoye, let me introduce you, this is Liang Sizhe. Xiaoliang, how old are you? Seven, isn't it?"

Liang Sizhe nodded and said, "Yes."

"Then Cao Ye is two years younger than you." Zheng Yin patted Cao Ye's back, "Come on, let's meet a brother, what's a better name?...Let's call him Brother Sizhe?"

Fifteen or sixteen is the time to be sensitive to age, and I wish the whole world could call me Dad.Cao Ye was not willing to recognize this brother, looked at Liang Sizhe in front of him, and muttered in a low voice: "There is not much difference, we are still taller on one side."

Zheng Yin was amused by him: "You are still taller than me, why don't you still call me uncle?" After finishing speaking, he didn't entangle Cao Ye too much about this issue, and turned to Liang Sizhe and said, "Sizhe, you Help me watch him a little longer, and I will thank you very much later."

Liang Sizhe pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, not saying yes or no.

He didn't mean to lose face to Zheng Yin on purpose, but he was really overwhelmed and inexperienced in managing others, and this person in front of him really looked like a master who could cause trouble and disobeyed management.

"Just take it as a favor for me," Zheng Yin saw his lack of cooperation, smiled gently on his surface, and gave him a task without showing any signs of expression, "Just see that he doesn't get into trouble and hook up with girls, okay? ?”

Liang Sizhe didn't answer directly, but just looked at Cao Ye, and threw the following two words to him unchanged: "Is it okay?"

Maybe it was too embarrassing just now, Cao Ye has stopped looking at Liang Sizhe at this moment, and turned to look around casually. After realizing that the two words were coming towards him, he turned his head and looked at Liang Sizhe responded simply, "Okay."

The two looked at each other, and although neither of them spoke, a tacit consensus was reached between the young people with just one look - what you said just now was farting, and neither of us should provoke the other.

At this time, the proprietress who was busy in the back room opened the curtain, looked out, and saw Zheng Yin and two teenagers standing at the door, came out, and looked at Cao Ye with a big smile on her face: "This is Director Cao's son? She doesn't look like her father."

Zheng Yin glanced at Cao Ye and said with a smile, "Better than his father."

"That's true." The proprietress also smiled, and said, "It's time to be busy at the moment, Mr. Zheng, you take a break first, and I will come over after I go up and explain it. It will be fine in a while."

The period before the start of the night show is the busiest time of the day for Lan Banquet. Zheng Yin could understand and asked, "Is everything arranged?"

"It's been arranged," said the proprietress, "you can rest assured that I will handle things."

"Then I won't wait here any longer, there are other things to do later, just follow the arrangement." Zheng Yin said.

After exchanging greetings with the proprietress, Zheng Yin looked back at Cao Ye and Liang Sizhe again: "You can just listen to her arrangement for a while, I have to go first if I have something to do." Then he grabbed Cao Ye's arm and pulled him away, "Xiao Ye Come with me to get your suitcase."

"Why do I have to stay here?" Cao Ye said with dissatisfaction in his tone, "Uncle Yin, what are you trying to do by tricking me here?"

Zheng Yin went down a few steps in front of Lanyan, took two steps, looked back, saw that Liang Sizhe was staying in the store and did not come out, raised his hand to wrap Cao Ye's shoulders, and led him down the wall, lowering his voice: "Come here and let me tell you something."

"What?" Cao Ye didn't exert any strength and was led forward by him.

Zheng Yin took him to the base of the wall and stopped. He stood with his back against the wall, holding Cao Ye's shoulders with both hands, making him face him, with a serious expression, not like joking: "Cao Ye, do you remember me?" I told you that your elder sister Zhou Ru wrote a script based on you?"

"Have you said that?" Cao Ye was puzzled, "Why don't I remember?"

"What kind of brain do you have? You never get serious things into your head. It's fine if you don't remember, but you can remember what I told you today."

"Oh..." Cao Ye put away his foolish look, not because of Zheng Yin's serious tone, but mostly out of curiosity, "What's the matter?"

"The script written by your sister Zhou Ru is about to start filming. It is under preparation. The director is your father."

"Huh? I'm going to act in a movie?" Cao Ye was taken aback, obviously not mentally prepared.

"Keep your voice down," Zheng Yin paused, looked at him with a little hesitation and said, "Although the filming is about to start, your father hasn't decided whether to cast you as the starring role..."

"Why? Didn't Sister Zhou Ru think about the script I wrote?"

"That's what I said..." Zheng Yin glanced at him, and deliberately emphasized the words, "It's not because you are fooling around every day and you don't have a proper shape. In case the filming is halfway through, you don't think it's worth giving up. Now, who can afford this loss..."

Unexpectedly, Cao Ye nodded in agreement, "That's true."

Zheng Yin hated iron but said: "What is it, can you grasp such a good opportunity? Your sister Zhou Ru mentioned you to me a few days ago, saying that she especially hopes that you will play the leading role."

"Whether or not my dad decides on me in the end..." Cao Ye raised his hand in embarrassment and scratched his forehead.

"Isn't there still me? Your Uncle Yin is still on your side," Zheng Yin then turned to the point, "Your father hasn't shown the script of this film to anyone yet. Zhou and I Ru asked for a copy. Although there will definitely be a lot of changes in the end, the general story line and character settings are similar. I stuffed the script in your suitcase. During this time, you should think about it carefully and tell me what you don’t understand. Me, I'll help you to ask Zhou Ru for advice, so that when the time comes to audition, others are unprepared, so you can show your advantage."

Cao Ye smiled at him maliciously: "Uncle Yin, you help me cheat..."

Zheng Yin raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "I intend to help you cheat, but it's up to you in the end. You stay here honestly during this time, and your dad may come to see it someday." You, be careful to be caught by him, and your candidacy will be directly disqualified at that time."

"He won't come here," Cao Ye said disapprovingly, "I've been back for several days and haven't seen him yet..."

"Your father has been surveying the scene in other places before, and he hasn't made time yet," Zheng Yin explained for Cao Xiuyuan, "There are a lot of preparations in the early stage, and you can't even imagine how busy you are. Don't worry, he will be sure in a few days." come to see you."

"Whether love comes or not, I wish he didn't come." He had almost heard the words, and his curiosity was satisfied. Cao Ye began to be a little impatient to listen to Zheng Yin's nagging, and promised perfunctorily: "Uncle Yin, don't worry, I will definitely follow the plan you said."

Zheng Yin laughed as soon as he heard it. Cao Ye was cute when he was obedient. He liked this child: "Success, I'm just waiting for your debut novel to come out."

If he made up his mind, he opened his mouth and said, Cao Ye responded simply and neatly, "No problem."

Zheng Yin explained the words in place, walked to the side of the car, opened the trunk and took out a suitcase, put it on the ground, pulled out the lever and handed it to Cao Ye, telling his own child: "Your toiletries and clothes It's all in there, call me if you need anything, and the script, remember, only you can read it, not your cronies, not even Liang Sizhe who just stood in front of you, did you hear? Your dad found out If I stole the script for you, he'll have to fire me...here, take the box."

Cao Ye took the suitcase, picked it up and tested the severity: "My dad fired you, so can he still make a movie...Okay, Uncle Yin, don't worry, I will never show this script to others, God Know the place, know you, know me, by the way, and sister Zhou Ru also knows."

Zheng Yin also smiled: "Okay, I'm relieved when you say that."

Cao Ye was about to pick up the trolley suitcase and walk towards Lan Yan, when he raised his eyes, he saw Liang Sizhe coming out of the house a few meters away, standing at the door, slightly raising his head to measure the row of various doors in front of him.

Cao Ye paused, grabbed the arm of Zheng Yin who was about to open the door to get into the car, and raised his chin in the direction of Liang Sizhe: "Then what does he do?"

"Oh, he was also hired to be an actor, and I will assign him a different role." Zheng Yin turned to look at Liang Sizhe, "Don't tell him a single word I told you today. .”

"Oh." Cao Ye's eyes fell on Liang Sizhe, and he replied calmly.

Zheng Yin sat in the car, closed the car door, and pushed down the window, wondering if there was anything else to explain, when he suddenly thought of something, he looked up at Cao Ye and said, "Do you have enough money? "

Cao Ye looked away: "That's enough, I have a card."

"Which card? Let me see."

"That's the one I've been using all the time..." Cao Ye lowered his head and took out his wallet from his jeans pocket. He opened it and was about to find the card. Zheng Yin stretched out one hand out of the car window and pulled the wallet away from him. , took a look at it: "Hey, there is still a lot of cash."

"It's okay." Cao Ye said, and then looked up at Liang Sizhe - I have to say, Cao Xiuyuan's vision is really not bad, where did you find this character?Every stop is a long shot.It was dusk and the wind was blowing. Liang Sizhe was standing in the dilapidated alley, the hair behind his head and the corners of his clothes swaying in the wind, looking like a character in an anime.This association unconsciously appeared in Cao Ye's mind.

Zheng Yin took out a [-] denomination cash from his wallet, took out a new debit card from the storage box in front of the car, stuffed it into Cao Ye's hand, and threw the wallet into the storage box , "snap" it closed: "These are for you, and I will keep the rest for you."

After finishing speaking, he withdrew his hand, lifted the foot brake, took advantage of Cao Ye's distraction, and decisively turned off the car and drove away.

"Ah?" After Zheng Yin finished speaking, Cao Ye looked away, looked down at the thin hundred-yuan bill and the shabby bank card in his hand, and suddenly recovered, raised his head and shouted: "Uncle Yin Give me back my wallet!"

Zheng Yin was driving non-stop, and turned out of the alley in the blink of an eye.

Cao Ye decisively pushed the suitcase to the side, strode forward with two long legs, and quickly ran out after him.But Zheng Yin's car quickly turned into the main road, merged into the rush of off-duty traffic, and disappeared from sight.

Cao Ye chased for dozens of meters, but seeing that he could not catch up, he stopped and looked at the crowded main road, gasping for breath, his chest heaving up and down, the hundred-yuan bill in his hand was crumpled into a ball, and he threw it out forcefully. , complained: "Send the beggar..." Then he took out his mobile phone and called Zheng Yin.

Zheng Yin didn't answer.

Cao Ye persistently dialed a second time, but still didn't answer.It seems that Zheng Yin made up his mind not to answer his call.

A few seconds later, the phone vibrated, and Zheng Yin sent a text message: "Don't worry, the wallet will be returned to you later. You just stay here for a while, don't cause trouble, and I will come to see you in a few days. By the way, the bank card password is yours." Birthday."

Cao Ye tightened his grip on the phone, holding back and not throwing the phone out.
