Chapter 22

The elated Zhang Chi was about to get in touch with the cattle seller to get a knife. Who knew that before he did it, his cousin appeared in front of him like a ghost.

"Where have you been?"

Seeing him, Zhang Chi was furious.

Zhang Wu didn't look at his cousin at all, and said directly: "I have something to do just now, by the way, have you finished filming, I will send you back after filming."

"It's still early after the filming, and it will take more than two hours to finish," Zhang Chi said.

Hearing this, Zhang Wu said: "Hey, when did this group of foreigners become so active in their work? Forget it, don't worry about it. After you finish filming, go back to your brother's place. I'm going to leave beforehand."

"What's the matter with you?" Zhang Chi was a little curious. You delivered food, or did you deliver food in Folsom? Is there something wrong in Los Angeles?
"I told you that you don't quite understand. I have something to do. When I go back, I will tell my brother. If it's too late, don't wait for me," Zhang Wu said.

Zhang Chi wanted to say something, but Zhang Wuren had already slipped to the door after he had finished speaking.

Zhang Chi took a look, but after all, he still didn't catch up to ask Zhang Wu what's the matter, not because he didn't want to ask, but because Zhang Chi felt that this guy must have got the right eye with some girl again, and he was going to have a game tonight Bowel fight.

Having known his cousin for more than ten years, Zhang Chi is no stranger to such things.

It’s already considered good now. When I was a child, I let myself pass the whistle, that is, I was innocent at that time.

Ready to continue with his own business, who knew that the director spoke at this time and asked everyone to continue working, so Zhang Chi had to put down his phone and continue to complete his filming career.

After tossing and tossing for more than two hours, I finally took all the pictures that should be taken. As soon as Zhang Chi heard that the filming was completed, he immediately ran back to the dressing room like a rabbit, took off his sticky beard, and suddenly felt that his face was light. It weighed two catties.

After changing his clothes, Zhang Chi came to Melika's office.

Melika was busy at the moment, when she heard Zhang Chi's knock on the door, she raised her head and asked Zhang Chi, "Finished?"

"It's over, when will the bill be settled?" Zhang Chi got straight to the point, don't be shy when talking about money with Lao Mei, it's best to come directly.

Melika said: "Your agent has already taken the money away, why, he didn't tell you?"

Speaking of which, Melika took a document from the pile of documents on the table and showed it to Zhang Chi.

After glancing at his cousin's signature on it, Zhang Chi realized that the seven thousand yuan was probably going to be beaten by meat buns again.

"Oh, I probably forgot that he told me that, it's fine, I'm leaving." Zhang Chi put down the document and said to Melika.

Melika is a shrewd person, and he knew there was something wrong with it at a glance, so he asked, "Do you want to call the police?"

"What police report?" Zhang Chi shook his head.

Although my cousin hacked my money, I can't send him to prison for the thousands of dollars. Others may say that he can do it, but Zhang Chi can't do it because of this little money. It's not worth it to ruin the life of a loved one.

"It's not good for you, you have to draw a clear line when getting along with anyone," Melika said kindly.

"Thank you for the reminder." Zhang Chi smiled at Melika.

Just as she was about to turn around and leave, Melika suddenly stopped Zhang Chi again.

"What do you think of the ad today?"

Zhang Chi turned his head and paused and asked her, "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"Truth" Melika said with a smile.

As soon as Zhang Chi said this, Melika knew that there must be nothing good to say next.

Sure enough, Zhang Chi said: "There is no worse advertisement than this."

"I planned it myself," Melika said.

Zhang Chi didn't care about this, and opened his mouth and said: "Then I think you should stop planning in the future. The extremely stupid advertisement, coupled with the style of the last century, is really only suitable for posting on electric poles. Are you not Have you ever studied in China? Have you ever seen advertisements scamming a lot of money for a child on a wire pole? I think it’s comparable to that.”

"Hahaha!" Melika laughed.

Looking at Melika who was smiling and trembling, Zhang Chi thought to himself: This little girl is sick!

"Okay, you can go." Melika looked at Zhang Chi at the door, and felt that there was something stupid about this man.

Zhang Chi didn't have time to chat with her, so he turned and left the outdoor goods store, and stood at the door of the store, ready to take a taxi for himself.

I have to complain, it's so fucking difficult to get a taxi here, I ordered it on my mobile phone for a long time, but there was no driver willing to come to pick up my order.

"It's so troublesome to even get a taxi in Los Angeles," Zhang Chi muttered.

After waiting for a while, he really had no choice, so he planned to call his cousin Zhang Wu and ask the boy to come and pick him up.

As soon as the phone was dialed, it was found that the kid had turned off the phone.

So Zhang Chi had to send him another message, telling him about being trapped here.

After waiting for ten minutes and no response, Zhang Chi was about to call his elder brother.

Unexpectedly, before the call was made, a Hummer stopped beside him.

Melika stretched out her head and looked at Zhang Chi: "Why, didn't you get a taxi?"

"Is it obvious?" Zhang Chi was a little helpless, and thought to himself: I will stay here for so long if I can get a taxi?What are you talking about?

Melika listened to the signal and said: "Get in the car, I will take you to a place where it is easy to take a taxi."

Zhang Chi was not polite, he turned directly to the other side of the car, opened the door and got into the car.

When the car started, Melika casually asked Zhang Chi, "Where are you staying tonight?"

Zhang Chi reported to Melika where his cousin lived.

"Where do you live?" Melika was a little curious. She knew how much the accommodation fee she paid for herself, and it was definitely not enough to live in the place Zhang Chi said. Let alone two people for one night, all the accommodation fees add up. Not even renting for a short period of time.

"Where my brother lives, we live at my brother's house," Zhang Chi replied casually.

"Your brother?" Melika became even more curious.

Just these two little poor ghosts, how could there be an older brother living there.

We domestic people generally think that Americans are independent, and the relationship between brothers and sisters is weaker than that of our friends. In fact, this is not the case. If one of the brothers and sisters has a good future, they will usually reach out. Let's talk about my brothers and sisters, so the connection between American families is not as weak as we think.

Even the family relationship between some ethnic groups is closer than that of many Chinese families. Every once in a while, there will be a gathering among family members.

Now that the economy is not good, more American parents will provide financial support for their children, such as paying for grandchildren’s child support. age, let the child fend for himself.

So from Melika’s point of view, Zhang Chi’s elder brother can live in such a place. Why are the two younger brothers like this? It’s understandable if the relationship is not good, but letting the two younger brothers live in their own home does not seem to be a bad relationship. good look.

"It's my cousin, cousin, do you understand?" Zhang Chi said.

Melika nodded, and then asked, "What does your cousin do?"

"Doctor" Zhang Chi said.

"Aren't you young?" Melika asked.

"Not too old, in his thirties," Zhang Chi said.

Melika just asked casually, and the two of them were just killing time in the car.

"Where are you going to put me?"

Zhang Chi asked as he saw the car driving more and more towards the bustling place.

Melika said: "You are lucky. I live not far from there. When I get home, you can walk two blocks ahead and you will be there."

Zhang Chi thanked him, and then closed his mouth.

Melika didn't say much during the rest of the journey, and the two went all the way to the building where Melika lived.

After getting out of the car, Zhang Chi took a look at the building where Mei Lika lived. He felt that the building was similar to his cousin's building. They were both very secure. In other words, the people who lived here were all rich people. .

Withdrawing his sight, he walked along the street for two intersections, and arrived at the place where Zhang Wen lived. It was not easy to go wrong, because the two buildings were very conspicuous, and he could clearly see them from the downstairs of Melika’s house. Go to the building where Zhang Wen lives.

When they got downstairs, after some verification, the administrator downstairs let Zhang Chi go upstairs.

"Where's your brother Wu?" Zhang Wen asked.

Zhang Chi said: "I don't know where I went. I took an advertisement and he came over and said something, so he left."

"This kid, I don't know where he went."

But the next sentence exposed Zhang Wen's understanding of his younger brother.

"He won't take your advertising fee?" Zhang Wen asked.

Seeing that Zhang Chi didn't speak, but only grinned, Zhang Wen understood, and said bitterly, "Why is this kid still like this now!"

"It's okay, it didn't come out of my pocket, so just pretend you didn't make any money." Zhang Chi really didn't care much.

To him, the [-] yuan is like a rabbit caught at night for thirty years. He can celebrate the New Year with it, and he can also celebrate the New Year without it.

"I'll give you the money later," Zhang Wen said.

Zhang Chi said: "If you say so, I won't live here anymore."

"Okay, you kid...forget it" Zhang Wen knew his cousin, although he laughed all day long, but he was very stubborn.

"Finished?"

"Well, the filming is over. I'll go get some ordered things tomorrow morning, and I'll be back soon," Zhang Chi said.

"Don't play here for two days?"

"What fun is there in Los Angeles?" Zhang Chi shook his head.

For young people who like nightlife, Los Angeles is indeed a good place, but for Zhang Chi, Los Angeles is a bit too noisy. He doesn’t like this kind of big city. Money, besides, I don’t like it, so I might as well go back to my ranch as soon as possible.

When the door is closed after returning home, what do you want to do, isn't it better than being here?

"Okay, you rest, I still have things to do here, I have something to eat in the refrigerator, I don't know when you will come back, I will eat some myself first," Zhang Wen said.

"Leave me alone, I'll eat a little, take a shower and go to bed, I've been tossing around this afternoon, I'm a little tired," Zhang Chi said.

After that, the two brothers went about their own business. Zhang Wen went into the study to read, while Zhang Chi took some vegetables brought by his aunt from the refrigerator, warmed them up a bit, and filled his stomach with bread.

Then take a shower and go to bed to get ready for sleep.
