Chapter 962 Fishing
Ning Weimin and Song Huagui’s family members were familiar with each other, but they had never met Zou Guodong’s wife and children.
In addition, he passed too much of the work burden onto Zou Guodong, and because of an unintentional mistake a year ago, Zou Guodong was in a hurry, and he was really tired.
So now that he had the opportunity to meet this time, he expressed his gratitude to Zou Guodong's wife very solemnly.
And apologized for causing Zou Guodong to be busy some time ago.
It turned out that Zou Guodong's wife was indeed as described by Zou Guodong when he was in Tokyo, a very gentle and virtuous woman.
Be shy and kind to others, respectful and generous in attitude.
I didn’t have the slightest intention to blame Ning Weimin, but instead thanked him for leaving the American Jeep to Zou Guodong before he went abroad.
Although Zou Guodong's wife has a mediocre job, she is just an ordinary clerk in a government agency.
But her job is comfortable and she can have a lot of time to take care of her family.
This gives Zou Guodong almost no worries and can focus on his career.
Their son Mingming is also very smart and handsome.
Probably he has followed his mother's temperament. This five-year-old boy is so well-behaved in front of outsiders that he almost looks like a girl.
In short, when Ning Weimin saw the mother and son, he couldn't help but secretly praise Zou Guodong for being so lucky to have a perfect family of three.
So in order to celebrate each other’s first meeting, and to get closer to Zou Guodong.
Ning Weimin took out a red envelope filled with 200 yuan of foreign exchange coupons on the spot and gave it to Zou Guodong's son as money for blackmail.
There is also a butterfly silver brooch inlaid with sapphire, which was given to Zou Guodong's wife.
To be honest, Ning Weimin made that piece of jewelry purely as a last-minute idea, and it didn’t really cost anything.
Because what he sent out was one of the gifts given by many branches of Yamato Tourism.
These are not international famous brands, they are jewelry and accessories from local Japanese brands.
It is almost equivalent to what Lao Feng Xiang and Luk Fook Jewelry will be like in our country a few decades later.
In terms of value, it is between 50,000 yen and 100,000 yen. It can only be regarded as a light luxury item.
Back then, Ning Weimin felt it was a bit burdensome to receive such a gift from Yamato Tourism.
He thinks these things are a bit flashy, neither good nor bad, that is, they are more suitable for white-collar workers in the company to please their girlfriends.
If he gave it to someone really important, such as Matsumoto Keiko, or some big shot, he would be a bit helpless.
In fact, if I hadn't received the chocolates from Matsumoto Keiko expressing her feelings in the first two days, I would have been completely unprepared.
He would not seek medical treatment in a hurry and use this kind of thing to fool people.
But having said that, it would be a pity if these useless things were given to others casually, or sent to the pledge house for a few dollars.
But the other party still likes to give gifts. He really has a lot of them in his hands, at least a dozen.
After thinking about it, I felt that I could only take it back home as a gift.
The people in the country have insufficient financial conditions and knowledge, so they should not be picky. On the contrary, they will be curious about foreign products.
And fortunately it does not take up space and is easy to carry.
So after returning to China, whenever he goes out to visit, he will carry one or two items with him in case of emergency.
To be honest, he was prepared when he went to Director Huo’s house yesterday.
Looking at Director Huo's breezy demeanor and Huang Jinghua's warm-hearted and cold-hearted detachment, there was no need to do anything more.
As for today, it would be perfect to present a situation like this.
As expected, Zou Guodong’s wife was stunned for a moment.
Speaking of the bunch of colorful foreign exchange coupons he gave him, Zou Guodong earned a lot every month. Even if half of his salary was in foreign exchange coupons, it would still be two thousand yuan.
But the shiny and exquisite Japanese jewelry dazzled Zou Guodong’s wife.
What should I give in return?
There are too few such things in China.
Not to mention that I disliked it, but I still felt that this gift was too valuable, and I was frightened and did not dare to accept it.
Jian resigned for a long time, until Zou Guodong and Song Huagui persuaded her not to think too much and just accept it.
She was embarrassed to thank Ning Weimin.
Of course, after accepting it, the sunflower-like smile on her face proved her love for this thing.
In fact, let alone her, what about Liu Xiaoqin, a big star and the "big cat" with the number one acupuncture point in China?
The same thing made my eyes straighten, and I felt quite envious.
Although the words he said were very nice, they were all meant to save Ning Weimin’s face and make others happy.
But a certain loneliness and frustration cannot be concealed.
Of course, according to the actual situation, it is not that Liu Xiaoqin cannot afford it.
She is no better than she used to be, and she really makes a lot of money by organizing and visiting acupoints.
What's more, he helped connect Zheng Mingming and bring Monita into cooperation with Pierre Cardon Company, and he also received 50,000 yuan in benefits in one fell swoop.
But the key is that domestic materials are too scarce. There are not many good-style jewelry, and there is nowhere to buy them.
And she is someone who has been to Japan on a business trip and suffered a lot because of her shabby clothes.
I am particularly concerned about this kind of jewelry that can improve my appearance.
So Ning Weimin took it into consideration and took the initiative to say something again.
"Da Mao'er, I didn't expect to see you here today. I also brought you a piece of jewelry from Japan, which you will definitely use on stage. But I'm sorry for today. Let's go back later Make an appointment for another day and I will give you the things."
With this sentence, Liu Xiaoqin immediately beamed and regarded Ning Weimin as his biological brother.
Stand up quickly, walk to him, and put your elbow on his shoulder.
While lighting his cigarette, he said affectionately.
"Oh, my good brother, you are still thinking of me. Okay, I won't say anything outside the world. If it's convenient for you, you can find a day from the fifth day of the lunar month to before the Lantern Festival. Our Temple of Heaven See you. Anyway, I’ll be here every day to help you watch the garden party. But I’m not a rich man like you, so don’t laugh at me.” >What I didn’t say, this sentence alone is enough to show the difference between people’s levels.
Why do rich people always have both sides and everyone admires them?
Sometimes it’s not really the money that makes you rich, but the fact that your resources are different from ordinary people’s.
Otherwise, just for giving and returning gifts, I would be really worried for a while.
Whether you are willing to spend money or not is not the second priority. The key is to find the right gift, which is a lot of trouble.
You have to spend time and choose carefully, but no matter how hard you break your legs, no one will know.
Just like now, this kind of thing is a bit difficult for Liu Xiaoqin.
But for Ning Weimin, it was not easy at all. It was just an object borrowed from flowers to offer to Buddha.
It is easy to make this big star happy and moved.
Of course, Liu Xiaoqin's words were a disguised reminder, which made Ning Weimin immediately think of the garden party in the Temple of Heaven Park.
He was interested in asking about the celebrity lineup for the Temple of Heaven Garden Party, and couldn't help but joke.
"Hey, why are you starting from the fifth day of the lunar month? Are you trying to be lazy? I asked you why you came here to hide in your leisure time. Are you going to be on the stage yourself this year? How did you arrange the candidates for us? ? Hey, if you deliberately make my garden party more deserted than last year, then there will be no gifts in the future."
Liu Xiaoqin quickly pretended to apologize.
“Oh, please don’t embarrass me. I can’t hold it any longer this year. I really want to take a break for two days. I’m going to join the team with this little Jiang soon to film "Furong" directed by Xie Jin. Town". But don't worry, the celebrities invited for you this year are all worthy. How about Xiao Lin, Li Guosheng, Feng Gong, Liu Wei, singing Jiang Dawei, and last year's Wang Jieshi and Xie Lisi. Okay..."
Originally thinking that Ning Weimin would be satisfied, Liu Xiaoqin's face turned gloomy.
Ke Ning Weimin refused to comment, seeming a little unsatisfied to ask.
"What about our sketch star? Will Pez be willing to advertise for my barbecue stalls?"
Liu Xiaoqin is really in a dilemma now.
"Ouch. It's not like you don't know about his various tempers, his self-righteousness, and his regard for money as dirt. Unless you tell it yourself, you might be able to manipulate him."
< br>
However, she added another sentence.
“Hey, but Lao Maoer is willing to come.”
Ning Weimin thought about it, and that’s okay.
Anyway, if you can get the traffic bonus, you won’t have to worry about it.
"Well, that's okay. It's almost the same with Zhu Shimao..."
He didn't notice at all that his tone now sounded a bit like a big shot in the industry, making decisions with just one word.
"Just...he is alone? What kind of show can he perform?"
So, before Liu Xiaoqin could answer his question.
Jiang Wen, who had been sitting next to him for a long time, already reached out his hand and took the initiative to introduce himself.
"Hello, Chu... First time we meet, I, my name is Jiang Wen, I am an actor at the Youth Art Theater. I, I am Brother Mao's temporary partner, and I perform on stage with him. Our show is ...It’s a poetry recitation.”
Liu Xiaoqin also quickly introduced Ning Weimin, "This is Xiao Jiang. He is quite talented. Director Xie is very optimistic about him. He and Lao Mao also go well together on stage. Although he usually talks a little stuttering, he doesn't act like that on stage. . He graduated from Chinese drama, and poetry recitation is a basic skill. "
To be honest, looking at Jiang Wen's serious and solemn look.
Ning Weimin is really not used to it.
Don’t forget, in the previous life, when Jiang Wen became famous and became a big shot.
He is still a little transparent at the bottom. When I saw Jiang Wen on TV, he was always pointing out people and talking eloquently, and even dared to openly use curse words to scold him.
But the Jiang Wen in front of him was not only young, but also not yet famous, and had neither money nor power.
Not to mention that there is nothing awesome about him, it can even be said that he is deliberately catering to please.
Such a comparison made him laugh immediately, remembering that Jiang Wen had played Li Lianying.
At the same time, I also truly realized that I am indeed no better than I was in my previous life.
Isn't he the real boss?
Not to mention him and Song Huagui, even Zou Guodong here will definitely be in the capital camp in the future.
So with this emotion, when he looked at Jiang Wen again, his feeling would naturally be different.
He also stretched out his hand, shook hands with the other party, and asked calmly and in a condescending manner.
"Well...thank you for your hard work. We have to perform on stage in the middle of winter."
"Where there is, it should be." Jiang Wen nodded and bowed.
"Are you a drama actor?"
"Yes, yes."
"Oh. How old are you this year?"
"I... Twenty-two.”
"Hey, I'm twenty-four."
"Oh, then you are the elder brother. I...I have to call you brother."
Ning Weimin, who was originally condescending, almost set up a character Cracked, I didn't spray a mouthful of jasmine tea on my face.
I didn’t expect him to be able to climb the pole so smoothly, so they became brothers.
"You're quite...that and all that..."
After sitting firmly again, Ning Weimin started talking again, "Why don't you act in dramas and act in movies instead?"
"Because I like movies when I was a child. I acted in dramas mainly because I passed the exam. You have to obey the assignment when you are in a movie, so I am very lucky to be selected by director Xie Jin, and have the opportunity to participate in the filming of the movie "Furong Town", and to be able to act with Sister Xiaoqin. This is all something I did not expect. It is like a dream. Same..."
"Is it suitable for drama actors to act in movies? The drama performance seems to be quite exaggerated."
"Oh, you are really an expert if you can say this. , but there is no other way, you still have to study hard.”
Well, this kind of flattery is a bit too much.
Ning Weimin's calm demeanor, which he had managed to maintain with great difficulty, was almost ruined this time by Jiang Wen's thumbs-up flattery.
He had to admit that this guy was very capable of duplicity.
As expected of an actor, he is actually thicker-skinned than a businessman himself.
The lie was told so smoothly, maybe even he himself could believe it to be true, right?
"What role did you play in "Furong Town"?" Ning Weimin asked knowingly, "You don't know how to play a couple with Da Maoer, right?"
"Ouch. I really let you explain it. In the current script, Sister Xiaoqin's character is really just like my character, a pair of lovebirds with the same fate. Hey, I think your premonition is great. At least you have a choice. The vision of the character. Hey, have you ever written or directed any drama in our industry?
Damn it!
Ning Weimin finally regained his composure and seriousness, and now he was about to break his defense again.
Maybe it would be better if we didn’t know what Jiang Wen would be like in the future.
But Ning Weimin knew it, so why did it feel so dreamy.
He was the only one who had goosebumps all over his body! It’s so fucking uncomfortable!
Through these short conversations with Jiang Wen, Ning Weimin now understands something.
This guy is a true believer in the three elements of success.
And when I think about it carefully, this girl doesn’t seem to be a kind person. She seems to have a bad spirit no matter how much she praises people.
Perhaps this is because I hope to make him feel happy, thinking that he will take the kind words seriously and become arrogant and show off his ugly face.
Hey, even though he also stutters, this guy is far worse than the honest and honest Xiao Cui.
Xiao Cui is really not good at expressing himself, and he can only sing but not speak.
This guy is probably pretending, a bit like pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger.
So he glanced at Cui Jian, who was sitting quietly with Song Xiaohong, as bored as a gourd.
Ning Weimin got some help, and he wanted to help Cui Jian's career, so he decided to take him abroad this time to have a good time in Tokyo.
As for Jiang Wen in front of me... I feel upset no matter how I look at him.
Okay! Then you are in the first year of junior high school, but don’t blame me for being fifteen!
It’s just these skills that you know, can’t I do it?
We have also practiced, so let’s compare and learn from each other, isn’t it just to compare who is more wilted and bad?
So with the thought of "it is disrespectful to come and not return", Ning Weimin smiled very affectionately, and even took the initiative to sit next to Jiang Wen and handed him his business card.
He seemed to be very sincere and said in a serious manner, "We are all brothers in the world. It is fate that we meet, so let's make friends. We can sit together more often in the future. You are welcome to eat at Tan Palace. It's been a long time. You know me. I am a real person and I really like movies. When I saw you, I really felt that you have a lot of star potential, much better than many already famous actors, like Zhou Lijing, Tang Kuangqiang. , I have to play with you! They are not as good as you. You have personality and thoughtfulness in your words. I am very optimistic about you, Director Xie. If you can act in a movie with our big star, you have to act well. You will probably become famous overnight. Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't become famous immediately. Anyway, I don't think you can bury your talent. , sooner or later! Anyway, when your movie is released, I will definitely buy a ticket to see it!"
Don't say it, it was Jiang Wen's turn to feel terrified after drinking this ecstasy.
Looking at Ning Weimin, he felt a little strange, and he didn't know how to answer such words.
I was dumb for a while, and I didn’t know how to continue to be clever.
Fortunately, Song Huagui's lunch was ready at this time, and he invited everyone to come for dinner, which resolved the embarrassment at the right time.
"Everyone, please take a seat. Let's talk while we eat..."
Ning Weimin then stopped caring about it and ended the matter with a bad smile in his heart.
After sitting at the table, he started drinking and chatting with others, and soon became the focus of the table again, the core of the conversation.
This time, because of Song Huagui’s participation, it mainly revolved around Pierre Cardin’s business plans and social activities.
I have to say that Liu Xiaoqin is still sensible.
She could tell the difference between her eyebrows and her eyes. Not only did she liven up the atmosphere appropriately during the meal, but she also acted coquettishly with Ning Weimin when they were leaving.
After dinner that day and leaving in the afternoon, I didn’t forget to beat up someone who wanted to quarrel with Ning Weimin.
“There is something wrong with your attitude towards others today.”
“Who are you talking about?”
“Who are you talking about? You don’t know. You and others Why are you here? They are all people who will be used in the future, why can’t you be kind?”
"He? I'm just too involved in the drama. I want to find the feeling of Qin Shutian in the drama in front of him. In fact, there is no other meaning."
"Don't come here! You are just treating others like me. "What can he tell?"
"What can he tell? Who is a fool in the Temple of Heaven?" The garden party was created by him. He also created the Splendid Oriental Model Contest. He is also a friend of Director Li Hanxiang in Hong Kong. What kind of thing can you do? Isn't it just a matter of playing tricks in front of him?"
"Isn't it all because he has a good boss to take care of him? If it weren't for MADAM Song, it would be up to him..."
< br>
"You are stupid. You take someone so politely seriously. He said so himself. He is trying to make MADAM Song happy. If you believe it, you are short-sighted. Why didn't you look at the meal today? What's going on? Pierre Cardon is planning to build a building and hold the third model competition. What's not important about the arrangements for Alain Delon's visit to China? And what's not MADAM Song's nephew asking for his opinion on? I can't even get a word in. You still can't tell what his status is? Also, he said today that he would take Xiao Cui to Japan to record an album. His visa, passport, travel expenses and production costs were all covered. He just left in one sentence. energy?”
“Then…what’s the matter? Am I wrong to praise him today?”
“You know what you are thinking. . Let me tell you, it won’t hurt to be polite to him in the future.”
“What’s wrong with you? I don’t care about him.” Why don’t you make money from him?”
“Hey, you’re still trying to be mean to me, aren’t you? What’s going on in the movie studio now? I can't get over it. Who's looking for investment? I'm not afraid to tell you that even Chen Peisi and the crew of "Journey to the West" have to rely on this person to get through. You are so sure that you won't be able to ask for it in the future. People? Really, what am I trying to do for you?”
"Ouch, ouch, ouch. Sister, are you really angry? I'm not right. I'm wrong. I'll change it. Isn't that enough? Don't be as knowledgeable as me."
"Are you still wrong?"< br>
"How about not doing this. I'll treat him to a meal later. I'll be more polite and I'll get your face back, okay?"
"You really do Dare you say, I am the general manager of Tan Palace, but I still need a meal from you? Why don’t you just go to me if you invite me?”
“I can tell.” Any man has to give you face?”
"What are you talking about? I hate it!"
"Say hello to me. Ouch, don't, don't, don't pinch me. People on the street are looking at us. I said, go to your place, okay I'll make amends to you later, okay..."
Finally, the little storm was over.
And because of Liu Xiaoqin's attitude, someone also smelled a fishy smell in his nose, and he felt as if he was touching the edge of a big fish.
Actually, isn’t that what life is all about? Everyone is in a long river, fishing in troubled waters.
If you touch it and catch it, you are a hero.
If you can’t touch it, if you miss it, you are a bear!
That kid is just a lucky guy in fishing!
But it’s true that he is rich. Giving things away is just like pushing him. He regards money as dirt. He is an absolute money-splitting boy.
You should keep your business card well, maybe there will be an opportunity to cooperate in the future.
And what he said was quite appealing.
Can I become famous overnight?
Well, it is really possible...
