Tang Xiuxiu was observing Wang Jian, and Jiang Qiao suddenly sent a message—"I'll pick you up for dinner after the recording tonight, my friend has opened a new store, let's join in."

The old ancestor smiled subconsciously, "Director Wang Jian has asked me to have dinner after work."

Jiang Qiao returned quickly, "It's okay, I'll wait for you."

Tang Xiu's first article was randomly assigned to "Teacher List".The director team was a little worried that at his age he would not be able to handle this kind of bloody and tearful article with high expectations. Wang Jian also warmly said that if it is really difficult, he can change with other guests.

But in fact, "Teacher's List" is a very popular article, loved by many people. Leaving aside the difficulty of giving a speech, if there is a flaw, it will definitely attract scolding, and other guests are not willing to change it.

Tang Xiu knew it well, so he just smiled and said, let's try.

He changed into a black shirt and stood behind the velvet-wrapped podium. The surrounding lights dimmed, and only a light came down from above his head.

The audience was very quiet, the director and other guests stood behind the machine and watched, and the battle was a bit scary.Tang Xiu lowered his head slightly, and after more than ten seconds, when he raised his head again, his whole body felt different.

The black eyes are still quiet, and there is a deep pain and sigh behind the quietness, and the first sentence of the mouth makes people know that this article is not for the wrong person.Watched by more than a dozen pairs of eyes off the court, the young man in his early 20s had a calm aura, with just the right rhythm.

Li Renxiu, who was interviewing with Tang Xiu before, looked very seriously. Wang Jian turned his head to see his concentration, and asked in a low voice, "What do you think of him?"

"Me?" Li Renxiu was stunned for a moment, thinking that I was just a guest, and asked what I was doing.He hesitated for a moment, and said frankly: "It's very good, no matter what program it's on, it's a very strong player."

Wang Jian raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, he didn't know whether he disagreed or was surprised.He looked back at Tang Xiu again, Tang Xiu just explained that the first emperor paid three visits to the thatched cottage, and his words were sincere, making people forget that he was a young man whose age was completely different from Zhuge Liang's.

Each guest only had 15 minutes, and Tang Xiu didn't explain every sentence, but only selected the classic parts to string together the whole story. Every comment completely conformed to the historical facts and was completed in one go.

After he finished the explanation, he stopped, waited for a few seconds, and asked, "Director, is this okay?"

Wang Jian smiled at him, "Very good."

For some reason, Tang Xiu always felt that the director was smirking at him, but behind that smile was more exploration.

While the other guests were recording, Tang Xiu sat in a daze, and Jiang Qiao sent several messages to harass him. It was the first time in his ancestor's life that this clingy existence appeared. Surprisingly, he didn't find it annoying. He read every message carefully. , will also reply.

Jiang Qiao, "What are you doing?"

Tang Xiu, "In a daze."

Jiang Qiao, "Are you tired of recording the show?"

Tang Xiu, "It's okay."

Jiang Qiao, "Do you miss me?"

The old ancestor pressed his fingers on the phone screen and hesitated.

Speaking with conscience, the three words "I miss you" don't seem to be in his dictionary, whether it is spoken or typed, he will never say it.

So Tang Xiu chose a wise answer and asked back, "Do you miss me?"

Jiang Qiao replied in seconds, "Of course I do."

Tang Xiu smiled, and typed word by word: "You must concentrate when you work, and you must learn to concentrate when you start to practice."

Not without surprise, Jiang Qiao was silent for a long time, and then sent him a bunch of periods.

Tang Xiu smiled at the phone, but suddenly felt someone approaching. When he looked up, he saw Wang Jian standing in front of him.He put the phone off and put it back in his pocket calmly, stood up and said with a smile, "Director Wang?"

He really wanted to know what kind of medicine was sold in Wang Jian's gourd.

Wang Jian's eyes stayed on his pocket for two seconds, and then asked casually with a half-smile: "Who are you chatting with? You are beaming."

Tang Xiu knew that he was very relaxed when talking to Jiang Qiao, but he was more confident that he would never be so excited.The director didn't just ask casually, he was tempting on purpose.

So Tang Xiu said generously: "I'm in contact with a director to help find the next script. I have some hope, so let's be happy."

Wang Jian said "Oh?" Ang asked with great interest, "What script?"

"The agent helped to build the bridge, and several people were involved. It's not convenient to say the script at the moment, and I don't know it very well."

"That's it..." Wang Jian thought for a while, and said with a smile: "A newcomer has entered the circle, and you are now on the rise, it is indeed a good opportunity to establish contacts. I remember that you used to work with Zhang Kaixing in variety shows and filming? Get in touch with him more There should be nothing wrong with getting in touch."

Zhang Kai?

Tang Xiu was quite surprised. He thought that Wang Jian had noticed what was going on between him and Jiang Qiao, but he didn't expect that this person's thinking was completely biased, and Zhang Kaixing would be involved?

It might be a good choice to keep a blindfold. The ancestor smiled, "Senior Zhang is indeed very friendly and takes good care of me. The director is right. I will keep in touch with the seniors."

Wang Jian glanced at him with ulterior motives and hummed.

"The Book of Ten Thousand Volumes" was recorded three times a day, and Tang Xiu performed well in all three selections. After watching it, several directors said that there was no problem.He waited on the TV station for a while, until Wang Jian got off work, and then asked, "Director Wang, where are we going?"

Wang Jian said, "There is a restaurant behind the TV station, it's quite quiet, go there."

Tang Xiu nodded, "Okay."

Wang Jian asked again, "Do you have any favorite cuisine?"

Tang Xiu paused, "No."

"It's just a casual meal, so don't be too formal." Wang Jian's eyes seemed to have a hint of sarcasm, "Who doesn't have a preference for food?"

Tang Xiu wasn't angry or panicked, he just said calmly, "I really don't have any preferences. I eat whole grains, vegetables, fruits and meat. But you, I see that your body is full of moisture, you should eat less greasy and spicy food. .”

Wang Jian's hometown is from Hunan. He can eat spicy food and loves spicy food. These days, the TV station has a lot of drinking and drinking.

After a while, Wang Jianfu smiled again: "You are indeed an interesting actor, no wonder you are so popular among passers-by of all ages."

Tang Xiu didn't speak, he walked one step behind Wang Jian.

This director is a middle-aged man. After contacting him, he feels that his thinking is relatively traditional, and he values ​​career and family.The programs he hosted on CCTV have never been too entertaining or escaping.During the break just now, Tang Xiu asked Li Ziping to help him look up Wang Jian's information. He has a 19-year-old son, who should be a sophomore or junior based on his age.His wife is not in the circle, but judging from the family travel photos he posted every six months, it should be family harmony.

Such a person has no reason to be hostile to him.

Wang Jian has always been derogatory towards him, but it is unknown what he is derogating from.But Wang Jian seems to have repeated a sentence many times.

——"Your fans of all ages are very happy."

If it's an artist Tang Xiu thinks it might be a little jealous, but this is a director, and he's also the director of an orthodox CCTV program. Apart from the cooperation of this program, he should have nothing to do with him.

He was speechless when Wang Jian stopped suddenly.

"What's the matter, Director Wang?" Tang Xiu followed his gaze and saw that a restaurant opposite was closed, with a "under renovation" sign hanging on it.

Wang Jian sighed, "Unfortunately, I can't eat this meal. There is only one good restaurant around here, and I can't go far, so I have to go back to Taili to work overtime."

Tang Xiu naturally knew what it meant. This person probably didn't plan to sit down with him to have a meal and talk in detail from the beginning, so he said: "It's okay, if you don't have anything urgent, we will talk about it next time. The show will be recorded for a long time. "

Wang Jian looked at him calmly, "Thank you so much, I'm sorry, it's useless to bother you."

There was no apology in those eyes.

Tang Xiu just smiled, "It's a small matter."

……

"What the hell is this?" Jiang Qiao frowned. "Wang Jian...I know this guy. Although I haven't dealt with him before, he has a good reputation on CCTV."

Tang Xiu hummed, "I can feel that he is nice, and the CCTV people are very polite to him. It seems that he just has a prejudice against me, but... let's meet for the first time." The old ancestor said with some headaches He propped his elbows and thought for a while, "I probably haven't met this person in my life. I haven't met this person in the past half a year since I entered the circle, and it's even less likely that there was an intersection before."

Jiang Qiao shook his head and said, "You don't have to think so much. Even if you met before, you have always done things to punish evil and promote good. If he is a good person, you won't offend him."

The doorbell of the private room rang suddenly, and the small bamboo door of the Japanese-style izakaya made a crisp creaking sound when it was opened, and a man about 30 years old came in with a tray.There were chilled sashimi on the tray, and the hot air puffed up on the ice to create white air. The man smiled and said, "Come and taste my craft."

Jiang Qiao said, "This is my university senior and good friend, named He Yuming."

Tang Xiu was a little surprised when he heard the words, "University senior?"

He Yuming smiled, "Yes, after studying directing for four years, he came out to open a Japanese tavern. When we were in school, everyone in our department loved to eat hot pot. It's just this guy who is obsessed with going to the Japanese restaurant. It's like a hobby."

Tang Xiu did observe that Jiang Qiao liked eating raw fish, but he didn't expect to love it to this extent.He raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Jiang Qiao. Jiang Qiao smiled and said, "He has feelings, and he came to open an izakaya. I just want to make money, so I became a director."

He Yuming laughed loudly, and while hooking Jiang Qiao's shoulders, he raised his chin and said to Tang Xiu, "Aren't you the actor who is very popular recently? Tang Xiu? Is it you?"

Tang Xiu's eyes stayed on He Yuming's hand hooked on Jiang Qiao's shoulder for a second, and then hummed, "It's me, hello."

He thought Jiang Qiao had introduced him to He Yuming before, but he didn't expect He Yuming to pat Jiang Qiao on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You can do it, the iron tree doesn't bloom for ten thousand years, and once it blooms, it will bloom."

Tang Xiu was stunned for a moment, and Jiang Qiao quickly said, "It's okay, senior Xiao Ming doesn't gossip in circles, he's very strict."

"Yeah, what I saw in this room, I forgot about it when I went out." He Yuming said with a smile: "I opened a new store, and this guy said to bring someone he likes. I really didn't expect it to be an actor." He said While talking, he looked at Tang Xiu with great interest, "The person I like... are you together?"

Jiang Qiao's face changed slightly. The ancestor never formally agreed to be with him. He mentioned it a few times, but was distracted by a few words.Although he was willing to wait, it was still somewhat embarrassing to admit that it was his own wishful thinking in front of his good friend.

Unexpectedly, Tang Xiu didn't hesitate at all, and said with a gentle smile, "We're together."

He Yuming let out a wow, not realizing that Jiang Qiao was stunned, and patted him on the back vigorously, "You guys eat and drink well, call the waiter if you need something, I'm going to another branch to see hahaha. "

Jiang Qiao didn't move until the small bamboo door rattled and closed again.

The sashimi is very fresh, especially the red tuna, the meat is neither tight nor loose, mellow and tenacious, much better than the soft and tender ones outside the previous crew.Tang Xiu ate a few mouthfuls of fish in a row, and tasted the other kinds for a while, Jiang Qiao was still there in a daze.

Tang Xiu looked up at him and suddenly felt a little funny.

How do you say something online?Petrochemical?

The old ancestor put down his chopsticks and waved his hands in front of Jiang Qiao, "Hey, it's almost done, let's eat."

Jiang Qiao still didn't respond.So Tang Xiu resorted to his trump card, "I just made up some nonsense to save you face, it doesn't count."

In the next second, Jiang Qiao took a deep breath and came back to life.

He licked his lips, said oh, then picked up his chopsticks and started eating the fish.Tang Xiu couldn't help laughing, "What's wrong with you?"

"I don't know either." A certain director's voice was muffled, "I'm used to being rejected by you. I was a little confused when you accepted it. It's more natural to reject me."

Tang Xiu, "..."

"Or do you really want to promise me?" Jiang Qiao looked up at him, with a trace of intentionally concealed expectation in his eyes, and then he covered it up and said, "It's better not to promise now, it's an epic scene in my imagination. "

The old ancestor smiled when he heard the words, "Well, I didn't agree, it's just...to save face for you."

He wouldn't say it, in fact, he didn't say that entirely to save Jiang Qiao's face.Just now when He Yuming put his hand on Jiang Qiao's body, he felt very uncomfortable and hurt his eyes.

It was the first time he heard that Shen Simo had a similar uncomfortable feeling when he was filming "Fox Killing Terrace".Unknowingly, he had developed a possessive desire for Jiang Qiao that he had never had before, and it became more and more intense.

"Jiang Qiao." The old ancestor picked at the mustard on the plate, and said suddenly: "Whether I agree or not, until I clearly agree or refuse, you'd better not tease others by teasing me, you know?"

Hearing this, Jiang Qiao couldn't help laughing, and subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch his ancestor's head, but he retracted and said, "How could that be?"
