Beginning and ignorance

Jiang Dongwei and Han Xun's impression of Lin Zhiqi is still ten years ago.

At that time, Lin Zhiqi was 15 years old, a punk girl who made her parents worry about her.And that worried parent was her grandfather—her father was a glorious navy with a fate similar to Han Bin's, leaving her alone as a daughter.Her grandfather doted on her and raised her granddaughter as a royal rose, but unexpectedly she grew into a roadside briar[1].

This wild rose played with the three brothers of the Jiang family in the United States for a period of time ten years ago, and she fell in love with Jiang Xichen, a melancholy young man. She can do everything in dance creation, and she is very talented... In short, she is addicted.

She even stayed in Korea for a while because of Jiang Xichen.

As for how Jiang Xichen got rid of her in the end, the two elder brothers don't know.

Now, this little girl is a great life-saving straw, and she must be pleasing to the heart.For this reason, Jiang Dongwei went to the TV station himself, took advantage of the rehearsal break, and brought Jiang Xichen out, intending to investigate the past clearly.

"I don't remember, it's been so long, I even forgot what she looks like." Jiang Xichen frowned in distress, and faced Jiang Dongwei with a thoughtful expression, "But there must be nothing particularly unpleasant happening, she may She just left when she got bored. At that time, our company didn’t allow trainees to fall in love, she knew it, and it’s meaningless to be exhausted.”

Jiang Dongwei listened, thoughtful, but he stopped digging, and directly threw the task to Jiang Xichen: "Talk to her, your second brother's lifelong happiness depends on you."

Jiang Xichen looked at him: "...Brother, are you begging me?"

Jiang Dongwei glanced over and slapped him on the forehead: "Clean up and go out with me to meet people."

Jiang Xichen raised his hand and rubbed the place where he was photographed, muttered a few words, went to the dressing room to change clothes, and walked out of the TV station with Jiang Dongwei.When contacting Lin Zhiqi, they said that they would take her to watch TV, so they found a nearby cafe with a good environment and waited.

Within 10 minutes, Han Xun picked him up.

After ten years of absence, the punk girl has finally grown into a princess.

Lin Zhiqi in front of her is in her best period as a girl.The youthfulness of her teenage years has faded away, and she is not yet at the age of being picky. She wears a red dress under a black windbreaker, with a mature and elegant temperament.Looking closely at the eyebrows and eyes, there is pure curiosity that is eager to move.

She took off her coat and handed it to the waiter next to her. She looked at the three brothers for a week, smiled and stretched out her hand to Jiang Dongwei, and stuck out her tongue: "Fiance, how are you!"

Jiang Dongwei didn't refute or twitch, and shook hands with her generously, saying: "Don't be too enthusiastic about me, your first love is still here!"

She shook hands with Jiang Xichen again, her eyebrows and eyes curved, and she smiled brightly: "My first love has become a big star!"

Jiang Xichen has been a celebrity for a long time, and he has the skills to tease female fans at his fingertips.She returned a shy and helpless smile to Lin Zhiqi, held her hand a little harder, didn't answer this sentence, but said with a little emotion: "Long time no see, you have grown up."

Said, looking at her tenderly.

"Hey...you don't want this expression, I'm afraid of you, every time you have this expression, everyone will be different." She withdrew her hand, sat down opposite Jiang Xichen, and said, "I am also your 'star'!"

After exchanging greetings, each sat down, ready to enter the topic.

Jiang Dongwei and Han Xun glanced at each other, and knew that Han Xun had already talked to Lin Zhiqi on the way here, at least, he revealed to her the reason and purpose of today's four-person gathering—just like he used to tell Lin Zhiqi. Like Jiang Dongwei as a deputy, he will fight all the vanguards that can be played, and he will clear all the obstacles that can be cleared first.

When you get to Jiang Dongwei's place, you can get straight to the point.

He looked at Lin Zhiqi sincerely, and called her as he was a child: "Xiaoqi, cancel our marriage, do you agree?"

Lin Zhiqi seemed a little taken aback by how quickly he got to the point. She put her fingers together on the table, stirred it up, and looked embarrassed: "Theoretically, I agree...but if I don't marry you, I will marry you." More trouble."

As she spoke, she glanced at Han Xun, who immediately received it and spoke for her: "If Xiaoqi doesn't marry into our family, she will marry into Yue's family, Yue Hengxin."

There are many dandies in the wealthy circle, and this Yue Hengxin is a very good dandy.This person is proficient in eating, drinking, and having fun. It is said that all the entertainment clubs in the capital have his little sisters, and female internet celebrities are his favorite category.But to say that he is "proficient" in having fun is not derogatory in the circle, it is an affirmation with a bit of jealousy.

Ordinary people play with girls to spend money, but he is to make money.When he associates with these women, he hardly takes out his wallet. He will package and market them, let them make money, and benefit from it himself, so many girls like to play with him, regardless of whether they have names or not.Of course, the one with the name earns more.

But Lin Zhiqi obviously doesn't like this person, her expression is quite helpless: "My grandpa likes him very much, and he always talks sweet words to make my grandpa happy, so if I reject you, my grandpa will match me up endlessly with him."

Although Jiang Dongwei has never been in a serious relationship, he is still very good at reading people. He captured the key information: "He wants to marry you?"

Lin Zhiqi sighed: "Brother, people who want to marry me can line up the road outside, only you don't want to."

"My fault, my fault." Jiang Dongwei immediately apologized, and added a bag of sugar to her coffee with a smile, "Have you ever had contact with Yue Hengxin?"

Lin Zhiqi: "A little bit, not much."

Jiang Dongwei: "How do you feel?"

Lin Zhiqi: "I don't feel anything, just a normal-looking person... What do you want?"

She stared alertly, and Jiang Dongwei showed his elder brother's demeanor, and smiled with concern and meaning.Looking at Han Xun and Jiang Xichen again, although the expressions are different, the three brothers all revealed the same meaning, which really showed the tacit understanding between the brothers to the fullest.

Jiang Dongwei said: "How about this, you are more familiar with Xiaochen, and you are the same age, so you can understand each other better. You have a good chat, Han Xun and I will go out to do something."

With that said, he stood up decisively.

Han Xun expressed his affection to Lin Zhiqi, and followed her.

Seeing that the two backs had left the store, Lin Zhiqi was still immersed in her bad premonition, Jiang Xichen moved her seat, sat directly opposite her, stirred her coffee, and said as if explaining: "Xiaoqi , In fact, I think there is nothing wrong with trying a little more in life, accepting new things is also an opportunity to open up a new world..."

Yue Hengxin likes to engage in online celebrity marketing operations. This is well-known among the wealthy second-generation circles in Beijing. His wine and meat friends are also very supportive. Everyone usually comes to exchange resources when they have nothing to do. They don’t invest much and have a good time. , having fun.

But because Jiang Dongwei grew up overseas, he only managed the domestic business of the group in Beijing for a few years, so he was not counted in their circle, and it was really difficult to contact Yue Hengxin for a while.He and Han Xun went through the list of contacts close to this circle, picking and choosing, none of them were suitable enough.

At this time, Jiang Xichen, who was still trying to lure Lin Zhiqi inside, sent a message: Qi Yaobai, the director of the Lanhua Theater, is very familiar with Yue Hengxin, you can contact Lao Xie for a match.

The young master was very thoughtful, and quickly sent a screenshot of the chat with Xie Wu.

"Where?"

"rehearse."

"Xiao Lun and the dean, who is there?"

"Dean."

This short conversation told them that Xie Wu was in the theater, and their target character Qi Yaobai was also there—the Lanhua Theater’s finale play is very close to New Year’s Eve every year, and it will be a very carefully prepared play during the year , so the dean will pay more attention to this scene.

The two decisively threw Lin Zhiqi to Jiang Xichen, and diverted to the Lanhua Theater.

This year's Lanhua Drama Theatre's year-end drama, starring Xie Wu again.Surprisingly, Su Na, who has only been in the theater for only three months, is also in this year-end drama and plays an important supporting role.

When they arrived at the theater, the play was being rehearsed with makeup on. There were a few people sitting in the front row, and the staff who led the way took them there directly.

Han Xun had a lot of contact with Jiang Xichen, and the number of times he came to the theater was counted. The leaders of the theater basically knew him, and they all waved and whispered hello when they met people. Only a young man sitting in the middle of this row remained motionless, He stared intently at the stage.

There is no need to make extra inquiries, they are sure that it is Qi Yaobai.

After the rehearsal, both Xie Wu and Su Na got off the stage.Xie Wu was busy discussing the rehearsal just now with other people in the theater, Su Na came over to say hello to the bosses, exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then went backstage.

Xie Wu has an exquisite heart. Although he didn't get enough information from the screenshot of the chat given by Jiang Xichen, seeing that the two elder brothers of the Jiang family came to the door in person, he naturally made an inference, and The leaders exchanged for the exchange, and Qi Yaobai was left in the end.

"This is our dean Qi Yaobai, people in our theater have heard a lot about him but it's rare to see him." Xie Wu brought him in front of the Jiang brothers.

Qi Yaobai's demeanor was rather cold, the kind of indifference that talks about pomp.The smile on his face was thin and could only be maintained in the category of "politeness", creating an unapproachable aura for himself, like a businessman who is used to negotiating.

He was also really a businessman.Being able to become the dean of Lanhua Theater is entirely because he used money to save the theater from embarrassment, and he is the theater's biggest benefactor. In addition, he comes from an artistic family and is the son of the former dean. fell on his head.

In essence, everyone is the same kind of person, which is much easier to talk about.

"Jiang Dongwei, I have long admired the name of Dean Qi."

"I don't dare to be so, it's my honor to see First Young Master Jiang himself with my own eyes."

Jiang Dongwei and Qi Yaobai shook hands and looked at each other. The latter knew that the former came with a request, and the former also saw clearly that the latter was calculating the price... It was a familiar and down-to-earth atmosphere. Jiang Dongwei smelled the atmosphere of happy cooperation.
