I'm the director, I'm not bad

Chapter 531 529. The Starry Sky Is Bright
Xu Xin came suddenly, in fact, the old couple was also very happy.

It's not that these two miss their son-in-law much.

It's only been a few days?It's not like not seeing each other in a day is like three autumns.

But the old couple just liked the son-in-law's attitude towards their daughter very much.

Seeing the young couple so sweet, the old couple felt at ease.

They also came here when they were young, from falling in love to getting married, and after getting married, their passion retreated and turned into the warm companionship of family love.

The couple who have lived together for decades naturally know how difficult it is to extend the shelf life of "love" indefinitely.

Need a big romance, need a little romance, but not just romance...

In addition, my daughter has been favored by me since she was a child, so her temper is unavoidable.

Especially after learning martial arts, he raised his fist at Xiao Xu every day...

Although they didn't say anything, they were always worried that their daughter was too strong.

But now seeing that the young couple has been in love with each other for so many years, and even the children have a relationship that has basically remained the same, they feel more at ease in their hearts.

If you are at ease in your heart, then you will be happy.

If you are happy, you have to cook something delicious for your daughter and son-in-law.

Although they lived in a hotel, the old couple took their children out early in the morning.

Sun Ting was familiar with Hengdian, so she took the two of them to the market to buy a large bag of vegetables.

Start cooking with the small kitchen specially equipped for entertainers in the hotel.

And when the dishes were ready, he followed the cart pushed by the waiter back to the room, and saw Yang Mi's drooping donkey face.

And Xu Xin who was packing up.

in argument?
This was Yang Dalin's first reaction.

Quickly asked:

"What's the matter? Was there a fight?"

"No……"

Xu Xin quickly shook his head:

"I'm in a mood."

Hearing this, Yang Dalin froze for a moment, then looked at Yang Mi again:

"Are you headstrong again?"

"What do you mean I'm willful... I asked him to leave one day later... He didn't even agree! I came so late last night, and I will leave when I wake up! What do you take this for? A sleeper!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

Including Xu Xin, the three of them were speechless.

Yang Dalin thought for a while and said:
"Can't you stay one more day?"

"I can't stay. I still have a movie soundtrack to do today, so I'll push it off tomorrow. After dinner, I'll go to Demon City to meet an elder. I guess I'll only stay for an hour or two, and I'll have to rush overnight Back to Xi'an."

As Xu Xin said, he walked up to Yang Mi and hugged her:
"Okay, don't be angry. The film will be finished in a week at most. Isn't it because of the Venice Film Festival? I'll come over when I'm done, okay?"

"Get up! Don't touch me! Why are you here! Why are you so annoying!"

Early in the morning, I wanted to take advantage of my parents to cook, and have a sweet morning negative distance communication with my husband.

But when Xu Xin said the sentence: "It's 11 o'clock? I have to leave quickly", her mentality collapsed instantly.

I even felt like I was being prostituted.

At the moment, the whole body is full of petty temper, the kind that can't be done without expressing it.

No.

The more I think about it, the more aggrieved.

Gradually, her eye sockets turned red:

"Let's go, go wherever you like! Dad, I want to eat, I'm hungry!"

"...well, I'm not leaving, is it okay if I don't?"

Seeing her state, Xu Xin also softened her heart.

have to.

Then let's play the princes in Fenghuo.

Sure enough, upon hearing the decision he made, all the expressions on Yang Mi's face collapsed in an instant.

"Hmph! That's about the same!... Hurry up and brush your teeth, let's eat."

"Ah."

Xu Xin, who decided to stay in Hengdian for an extra day, nodded and walked to the bathroom.

Or the woman is a bitch.

Face-changing becomes faster than turning the pages of a book.

After eating, pat the table:
"You go."

After she lost her wake-up urge and cleared her mind, she had already figured out what was important and what was tolerable, so she kicked Xu Xin out of the house.

A real man was born between heaven and earth, so how can he be greedy for the lust of beautiful men in the harem! ?
Hurry up and go about your business!
In the final analysis, Xu Xin kissed his daughter and son fiercely on the cheeks after a scene of mutual understanding was staged again, and set off on the road again with his briefcase.

In the car, he called Liu Momo.

But after the phone rang for a long time, Liu Momo's voice sounded weakly:
"Hey……"

"……I got sick?"

Xu Xin hurriedly expressed concern.

"Jet lag, brother! Jet lag! Do you know that it's only 4 o'clock in the morning in the Netherlands..."

"Um... have you ever seen Los Angeles at 4 in the morning?"

"Fuck off, talk about something! In order to talk to your daughter-in-law about the copyright of "The Voice", I'm almost exhausted... Tell me, what are you doing!"

"Okay. Is Uncle Liu at home?"

"...Looking for my dad?"

"Correct."

"Should be there. He didn't say where he was going to do research when he called yesterday. You go... Oh yes, don't take anything. Cheap and expensive things are not acceptable."

"Okay, got it."

"Well, hang up."

Doodle.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Xin didn't say a word. He sat in the car and began to think about how to talk about today's meeting.

3pm.

He arrived in the magic capital.

This trip, he didn't use anyone to arrange it.

After a phone call, Xu Miao had to arrange for someone to pick him up.

But he didn't let anyone know that he came to Shanghai.

After taking a taxi with Su Meng back to Tangchen Yipin, he went upstairs first, and after making sure that the old man was not at home, he left Su Meng at home:
"You can do whatever you want, I don't care about you for dinner."

Holding the car key of A6, he went straight out the door.

When the car walked out in the basement, he sent Liu Kuan a message:
"Uncle Liu, are you busy at night? I want to visit you."

Information returned quickly:

"Come on, Momo just finished calling me. I'll be off work in a while."

"Ok."

Seeing this message, Xu Xin drove out the door directly.

The bad chicken from "Old Man and", the bad shrimp, edamame, chicken feet, and trotters from Zhuangyuanlou.

After running to two places in a row, after carrying a big bag, I bought another bottle of old rice wine from Shikumen.

It's not expensive, it's in the early [-]s.

Carrying these things that can be eaten in one meal, he rushed to Liu Kuan's house.

It is very difficult to find parking spaces in this area, all streets are controlled, and traffic law enforcement is very strict.

Xu Xin wandered around for a while before stopping the Audi at a place estimated to be 600 meters away in a straight line.

It was past five o'clock, and he called Liu Kuan.

"Doo...hey, Xiao Xu."

"Uncle Liu, I'm at your house now..."

Quickly reported the address, Liu Kuan was a little puzzled:
"I have finished greeting the gatekeeper, you can just go in, why do you ask me to pick you up?"

"Haha, I bought you some bad stuff. There's also a bottle of rice wine~"

"Ha~"

Liu Kuan chuckled lightly:
"Okay, then you wait, I will pick you up."

"Ok."

So Xu Xin waited on the side of the road for a while, and saw an old Audi A6.

Going straight into the car, Liu Kuan looked at his sweaty face and didn't say a word, but took the two bags of trash.

"Zhuangyuan Building and the old man? Why do you still go to two places? The bad chicken in Zhuangyuan Building is also good."

"I feel inferior to the old man when I eat."

"Well, that's right. That's just right. I'll make a cucumber when I get home later, and this meal will be very comfortable."

"Hey, why don't you get some good tea?"

"Haha~"

Liu Kuan looked quite happy.

Asked a sentence:
"Someone will pick you up later?"

"Well, the car is over there."

He pointed back.

Liu Kuan turned his head and took a look, and said:

"Then your parking fee is quite expensive."

"Haha, it must be worth seeing you."

"Haha~"

In the silent and steady driving of the driver, he returned to Liu Kuan's home all the way.

The nanny at home has cooked six dishes and brought them to the dining room.

Although they are all home-cooked dishes, Liu Kuan said: "Knowing that you will come tonight, I asked Sister Hong to add two extra dishes. Including you bastards, we have to loosen our belts for this meal. .” It expresses the attitude.

Let him add food and treats.

It means welcome.

Soon, all the bad stuff was put on plates and placed on the round table.

Xu Xin opened the bottle of Shikumen.

It's not too big, but it's not too small. It's actually relatively empty for two people to eat.

no way……

Who made Sister Mo not live up to her expectations?

Don't you have everything if you have an object earlier?
Pour the wine, don't rush to talk about business.

They are talking about the World Expo that is still in progress.

The closing of the World Expo will be on October 10st, and there will be a report performance at that time.

This World Expo is a milestone in the history of the World Expo, both in terms of scale and number of people.

More than 246 countries and regions participated in the exhibition, and the number of visitors is expected to exceed 6000 million. After the Olympic Games, China has once again exerted its importance on the world stage.

It proved to everyone what color a steadily rising platform can bring to the world.

And Liu Kuan said at the dinner table:
"Xiao Xu, everyone thinks highly of you."

In exchange for Xu Xin's respectful glass of wine.

……

In fact, I drank half a bottle of wine, one cup per person.

That's the end of the meal.

Alcohol is not enough to make people intoxicated, and it is not easy to chat with people who are intoxicated.

As long as it has the effect of bringing the atmosphere closer, it will be fine.

After the end, Liu Kuan took down a box of tea from the cabinet at home, and said:

"Go, go to the study."

"Ok."

After Xu Xin came all the way to the study with his briefcase, Liu Kuan sat in front of the very simple desk and started to boil water and make tea with a tea set.

And Xu Xin was sitting opposite him.

The sound of the kettle filled the study, Liu Kuan took the cigarette he handed over, and then asked:
"I see that you are out of your mind when you are eating, what's wrong?"

Have it?

Xu Xin didn't think so.

But there must always be a reason to open the chatterbox.

So, he smiled a little embarrassedly, and said:

"You see it?"

"Well. It can make you lose your temper. It seems that this matter is quite difficult?"

"……Ugh."

Xu Xin sighed, nodded, and took out a stack of documents from his bag:
"Look."

"Ah."

Liu Kuan took it, turned on the desk lamp, and put on his glasses.

At first glance, he was stunned.

"Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" advertising cooperation agreement?

Even if it was him, he couldn't help showing a dazed look.

what is this?
This kind of thing... let's not talk about whether it is difficult or not, and don't mention your relationship with Zhang Yimou.

How could you suddenly find me?
"Actually, I don't want to cause you any trouble. But there are some things... After meeting and understanding, I always want to do something. Look at the amount of this contract..."

Hearing this, Liu Kuan nodded:

"You keep talking."

"The first contract is the contract of Jinding Pawnshop. This is a contract for filing taxes with the tax bureau, and it is 50. I also have a contract in my mobile phone that Zhang Weiping, an investor of "Jinling", sent to Director Zhang. 20... But I heard from other sources that the actual price of this contract is 450 million."

"..."

Liu Kuan didn't say anything, but frowned, and continued to read the next contract.

Seeing this, Xu Xin continued:
"These contracts are actually similar, and the quoted prices are all very low. And there is a rule, that is, unknown companies all pay hundreds of thousands of dollars. But the more well-known companies, the higher the quoted prices. "

"...all of these will appear in the movie?"

"There are probably three or four, such as the pawn shop. There may be a building with a sign on it among the ruined walls that appear in the movie, and the words "Jinding Pawn Shop" are written on it. Others cannot be climbed. Yes, it’s all in the thanks and partners before and after the film.”

"..."

This time, Liu Kuan fell silent.

After roughly looking at these contracts, he raised his head:

"Zhang Yimou's crew, right?"

"Yes. However, what I'm sure of is that he just made a movie."

"Then isn't New Picture Films his company?"

"He makes movies, and the new images give him a share of the box office, and the shares have nothing to do with it. Moreover, he is not in charge of business, and he doesn't care much about these things. I can guarantee this."

"Is that so..."

Liu Kuan thought for a while and asked:

"You can come to me, it should not be just a matter of this movie, right? In the past two years, there have been so many placements of advertisements and the like, it is not an exception. Otherwise, you can use these things as report materials and directly hand them over to The jurisdiction you belong to is fine...Your words are not completely weightless."

"Um……"

Xu Xin nodded and said:

"People say that you can see the whole leopard by looking at one spot. As you said, this kind of thing is not an exception. I think... it may be an unspoken rule of the industry."

"..."

Liu Kuan narrowed his eyes.

And Xu Xin also fell silent at the right time.

Finished a cigarette.

The silence of a minute and a second was broken.

"Can't find someone to trust?"

"Ah."

Xu Xin smiled wryly:
"Actually, my first reaction was to find you... but I don't think so. Because of this matter... just like what you said, I don't trust anyone except you. And I can't put my life and property on the line To other people. If my guess is correct, then... the things involved in this may be tens of billions, or even higher. And there are many people involved, but I also understand what interlacing is like a mountain... ..."

"Do you want to be that fire starter, but you are afraid that the flames will be too big and you will burn yourself to ashes?"

"Correct."

Seeing that he had already guessed it, Xu Xin simply nodded:

"I know maybe I'm a bit low-minded...but I just got married and my children haven't grown up yet...the career I love has just started...hehe."

Speaking of this, Xu Xin scratched his head:

"Just kidding, I haven't lived enough."

"..."

Liu Kuan didn't think it was so funny.

Just lost in thought.

In fact, he didn't think Xiao Xu did anything wrong.

It's a good thing to be brave and fearless with blood rushing forward.

Considering the overall situation, unnecessary sacrifices are also inevitable.

I don't want to be a hero, but I want to change something.

Adventurous, not greedy for merit.

The mind is also clear enough.

Know how to protect yourself wisely...

this kid...

I went the wrong way.

It's not right to say that you took a wrong turn, it should be said that you took a detour.

It takes a lot of effort from Baihua.

So much for the reviews.

He thought about it and said:
"Then why did you find me all of a sudden?"

"...I want you to find someone else."

"?"

Liu Kuan was taken aback.

Then it became dumbfounding:

"Who else do you want to find?"

"It's like this, Uncle Liu. I think... this kind of thing is not in your system after all. Right?"

"Ah."

"So... I really don't want to cause you any trouble. After all... If my deduction is correct, since these things can exist, there must be their "reasonability", don't you think?"

Xu Xin put more emphasis on "rationality".

Then went on to say:

"Besides, although I have these in my hands now, if I really investigate, I definitely shouldn't make a big move, otherwise it will be easy to startle the snake. So, after thinking about it, I think this matter should not go from the bottom to the top, but from the top to the bottom That's right. I don't want any credit, but as the circle I work in, I don't want people's first reaction when looking at me is: "This person is probably not clean". I can't accept it~"

"so?"

"So, I think the person who can start to deal with this matter, the person who can change the ecological environment of a circle, preferably the person who needs this matter."

"The layout is too small, Xiao Xu."

Understanding what Xu Xin meant, Liu Kuan shook his head with a smile:
"Although your starting point is correct, the angle of this sentence is wrong. Do you know where the mistake is?"

"Uh……"

"This is our home. Everyone is brothers and sisters in this family."

Liu Kuan drew a circle towards Xu Xin:

"Everyone is working hard for this family, and so many people are giving selflessly every day. And everything they do is for the better tomorrow of this family. But at this time, there are a small group of people, on the surface It seems that they are also fighting for everyone, but in fact they are fighting for their own family.

Now that the matter is known, it is natural to use the rules formulated by our "everyone" to measure it.

No way, no country.The law is not expensive, and the rope is not bent.

This is a rule that everyone makes together.It is also the greatest reliance on fairness.

It's not that anyone needs it, but after seeing this incident, everyone has the responsibility and obligation to maintain this "everyone".Only by kicking out the black sheep can the balance of justice not be out of balance. "

After helping Xu Xin correct a misunderstanding, Liu Kuan smiled when he saw his nodding:
"However, this does not mean that you are all wrong. I can somewhat understand your starting point. To put it bluntly, the matter at the foot of the emperor and the root of the imperial city must be handled locally. You are so Do you think so?"

"Yes. I'm also afraid of causing trouble to you... But it's true that I'm shallow-minded when you say that."

"You are still young."

Liu Kuan roughly looked through these contracts again.

"Young, you are allowed to make mistakes. The important thing is what you can learn from your mistakes. Everyone is crossing the river by feeling the stones. The river is fast, and it is normal to not think carefully. But... I am curious, According to what you mean, who do you want to find?"

He was a little curious.

Can I still become a springboard?

Hearing this, Xu Xin scratched his head in embarrassment:

"Actually, I... also went to the doctor for a sudden illness. Do you still remember that after the opening ceremony, during the meal..."

Under Liu Kuan's curious gaze, Xu Xin told the story of the middle-aged man.

"From the Olympics to this time... every time I meet him, he will come over and talk to me. I think this is considered a good fate. After all, there are so many people, there is no need to stare at me, right?"

"..."

This time, Liu Kuan fell silent.

He just frowned.

"Twice in a row?"

"Yes, twice in a row."

"...?"

Now, he was also puzzled.

"You don't know each other?"

"do not know……"

After finishing speaking, Xu Xin didn't ask anything like "Do you know me?"

Things at this level are too complicated.

And that's actually why he came to find Liu Kuan.

If there are two families with different opinions, then Liu Kuan can take care of this matter.

After all, no matter how Xu Xin thought about it, he felt that this was a matter of damage to his wallet, and no leader would allow such a thing to happen.

It is a credit.

And if it's a family with the same opinion, that's even better.

Although he doesn't know the pros and cons, the essence of some things is the same.

The money that should have fallen into his own pocket was stolen by others.

No one will be comfortable.

Although the description is somewhat inappropriate, he firmly believes that his instinct is correct.

……

"Brother Xu!"

"Ah."

Xu Xin, who was smoking, nodded when he saw Su Meng, threw the cigarette butt out, and opened the car door:
"Let's go to the airport."

"Ok!"

Su Meng nodded, and quickly came to the main driver's seat of the A6.

After adjusting the seat, I saw a ticket on the central control.

She didn't ask much, and drove directly to the airport.

Xu Xin didn't say much along the way, leaning on the seat, watching the night scene outside in silence.

Su Meng didn't ask Xu Xin what she was doing, and she didn't find any reason to start the chat mode.After driving to the airport in this way, he asked:

"Brother Xu, what about this car?"

"Just put it at the counter of China Southern Airlines in a while, and someone will come to pick it up."

"Ok."

Su Meng nodded, picked up the ticket on the central control and was about to get out of the car.

"I don't even take this ticket."

"...Huh? Don't take it?"

"Correct."

Xu Xin nodded, and suddenly revealed a smile:

"It's gone."

"Uh……"

Su Meng was stunned, a little puzzled.

The two hundred...wouldn't be enough to find someone to pay for it?

Wouldn't it be good to pay a fine?

Isn't Brother Xu the least fond of falling for others' favors?

But why did it disappear uncharacteristically this time?

She was full of puzzlement.

But Xu Xin didn't explain much.

She didn't understand even after explaining it.

Anyway, although this trip to the magic capital was short...

But it was worth the trip anyway.

When he was about to enter the airport, he subconsciously looked up at the starry sky.

Yo?
The air quality today is really good.

The starry sky is clear and beautiful.

"Ha~"
