Cousin Salted Fish Dressed as a Heroine

Chapter 10

Today is Zhiyuan's first day of transferring school. When he came back briskly carrying his schoolbag in the afternoon, Zhang Jiao hadn't come back yet.

He went upstairs to finish his homework. He didn't come down until he heard the roar of a car motor coming from the yard.

While still standing on the stairs, he heard the voices of his sisters downstairs.

"Take it easy, your ears are about to fall off!" Actually, it didn't hurt, but Chu Yan felt a little itchy, so she turned her head to avoid Zhang Jiao's claws.

But now she was carrying Zhang Jiao on her back, and she couldn't even maintain her balance due to this twist.Zhang Jiao was so frightened that she quickly stopped her fussy hands and hugged her neck tightly.

When Chu Yan stabilized her figure, Zhang Jiao felt that her reaction just now was a bit silly, she should have jumped down first.

"Is it true that you haven't practiced in filming? Why can't you stand still on your back now? Why don't you get up early tomorrow morning and let's do morning exercises together."

Zhang Jiao was complaining, but she was thinking in her heart. In fact, she hadn't done morning exercise for a long time, and she thought that she couldn't really go on like this, so she wanted to find someone to accompany her, so she would be more motivated.

"Ah? Then I'll go home and sleep later." Chu Yan immediately backed down. She hadn't done much driving or running since she went to the acting training class.

Hearing Zhang Jiao's suggestion, she resolutely chose to give up the idea of ​​living here.

Zhang Jiao: "..."

She raised her head and looked forward, her eyes just met the surprised eyes cast by Zhiyuan who was standing at the stairs.

Zhang Jiao suddenly felt very embarrassed.

She forced herself to calm down and patted Chu Yan's shoulder. She used a slight force to break free of Chu Yan's hand on her leg and slipped it down.

With a light cough, "Zhiyuan, have you eaten yet?"

Before Zhiyuan could answer, she went on to introduce, "Come and see, this is sister Yan from my aunt's family, do you remember?"

Chu Yan was wondering why Zhang Jiao came down suddenly, when she heard her introduction, she turned her head in a daze, "Zhiyuan?"

Zhang Jiao stepped forward and hooked her arm like a disguise, and led her and Zhiyuan to the sofa, "Yes, the younger brother of the sixth uncle's family. The younger brother who always followed me when I was young, you forgot!"

She pulled Chu Yan to sit on the couch, and Zhiyuan sat on the other side with her.

"Ah! I remember, your little follower! We used to play hide-and-seek together in the house." Chu Yan hasn't seen Zhiyuan for a long time, even longer than Zhang Jiao.

The last time I met Zhiyuan was still a little pup!

She still remembers that it was the first third day of the Lunar New Year just after the separation, and her mother took the siblings to pay New Year's greetings, but the sixth uncle and the sixth aunt made a weird talk about it.

It also dislikes the lightness of their New Year gifts, and blames them for being late in greeting the New Year.

But I don’t want to think about it. In the past, I went early for New Year greetings because the whole family lived together.In previous years, the annual gifts given to them were heavy because my grandpa was still here and my uncle was polite and gave their family a lot.

But my mother was very angry that day, and she didn't want to go to their door again.

Anyway, they are half-brothers from the next room, they were not very close to each other, and they separated, so it was reasonable to cut off contact.

But Chu Yan had very good feelings for the old concubine and Zhiyuan. When the old concubine sent them out that day, she kept apologizing to her mother and them.Zhiyuan also gave her and his sister some of his favorite candies.

The grown up Zhiyuan is a bit like his grandfather when he was young, and Chu Yan looks very kind. "Shouldn't you be in Form Five now?"

She calculated the time silently in her mind. This year was [-], and the year the family separated was [-]. Counting that he went to primary school at the age of seven, he should be almost in the fifth grade now.

Zhiyuan nodded, "Third Sister is right, I am in Form Five."

Chu Yan looked at Zhiyuan who was still sitting upright, and compared their heights with her eyes. Although she didn't stand up, Zhiyuan should be slightly taller than her.

"Then you..." You are really tall and tall.

Chu Yan had just begun to speak when Zhang Jiao was winking at her out of the corner of her eye.

A question mark slowly appeared in her mind, but she didn't understand.

But that didn't stop her from changing the subject.

"Have you eaten yet? I'm so hungry. I went shopping with your elder sister for a long time today, and I've already digested what I ate at noon."

Zhang Jiao immediately breathed a sigh of relief, she thought Chu Yan was going to ask why Zhiyuan was here, but luckily she changed the subject.

It's all because she has no brains, and she forgot to tell Chu Yan about Zhiyuan living with her in the future.She didn't want Chu Yan to ask difficult questions, such as why Zhiyuan came to live here.

Zhang Jiao felt that this kind of question would remind Zhiyuan of sad things, so she thought it would be better for her to tell Chu Yan.

Zhiyuan felt a little sore and swollen, his sister's expression was so obvious, he was not too blind to see.

But he pretended not to know, "I haven't eaten yet. Sisters, let's go to the restaurant. Aunt Wang made a lot of delicious food. I could smell the aroma when I came back."

Zhiyuan doesn't like eating alone, he feels inexplicably lonely.

Zhang Jiao frowned, "It's past seven o'clock, and you haven't eaten yet?"

The family usually has dinner around six o'clock, and now it's almost eight o'clock.Aunt Wang will definitely not remind Zhiyuan at the meal time, so it is only possible that he does not eat.

Zhang Jiao remembered that every time he ate, Zhiyuan had to wait for her to eat first before moving his chopsticks.

Feeling a little uncomfortable, "Next time you are hungry, you can eat first, don't wait for me, sometimes I may not come back."

You don’t have to worry so much in your own home.

Zhiyuan didn't object to what she said, but he didn't agree either.

Zhang Jiao was helpless, he was really a stubborn child.

As the night darkened, Zhang Jiao quietly came down from the third floor and sneaked into Chu Yan's room.

When Chu Yan opened the door, she was amused by her sneaky appearance.The upward arc of the corner of the mouth could not be straightened.

"What kind of hobby is this? Being a thief in your own home?"

Hearing this, Zhang Jiaogang's smile froze instantly, "I'm afraid Zhiyuan will see it."

But Chu Yan felt that she thought too much, so what if she really saw it? Girls just like to talk and laugh next to each other!
"Don't do anything bad, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. What did you do wrong? You're so afraid that Zhiyuan will find out."

Zhang Jiao sighed, pushed her away, and sat cross-legged on Chu Yan's bed, "Let me tell you, Zhiyuan..."

She told Chu Yan about Zhiyuan's recent experience in detail.

After hearing this, Chu Yan couldn't help but sigh, "He didn't find a good father, so we sisters should take care of him in the future."

I am still a child who is studying, and if I worry too much, my hair will grow gray.

"I think so too." Zhang Jiao lay down on the ground. "Qi Bo just transferred him to another school today, I hope he will get better and better after he stays away from Uncle Six."

If Zhiyuan is getting better and better, then she has done a good thing.

*
The two chatted some gossip again.It was mainly Chu Yan who was saying that, after all, she had contacted many people in the crew.

The more people there are, the more stories there are!
"What is that?" Zhang Jiao accidentally found a stack of papers lying on the dressing table.

"Oh, that's my script!" Chu Yan glanced casually. "Didn't I just finish filming a drama, and my agent arranged another script for me. I thought the plot and characters were very good, so I agreed."

The agent thinks highly of her, not only giving her the right to choose, but also making serious plans for her.It's just that Chu Yan is not sure whether the other party treats her so preferentially because of her status.

Zhang Jiao had never been in this circle, so she was really happy for Chu Yan, "Then they are quite optimistic about you. You have just finished filming and you have a new job. It seems that you are not far from becoming a big star."

Chu Yan thinks it’s good to be a simple person!

"It's still far away. We were supposed to be in the crew at this moment, but the big boss who invested suddenly withdrew his capital, and the crew gave us all a vacation."

Speaking of this, Chu Yan felt a little depressed.

"Why withdraw?"

"I heard someone in the crew secretly say something."

There were obviously only two people in the room, but Chu Yan kept her voice low as if she was afraid of being heard.

"It seems that the heroine is secretly complaining to the assistant that the boss is too old and useless, and also called him a toad for playing around. It happened to be overheard by the boss who came to give a surprise."

There is something wonderful about this melon!
Zhang Jiao didn't know much about the entertainment industry in the 70s, only that it was quite chaotic.I didn't expect such an explosion.

Chu Yan also thought it was wonderful, if the follow-up of this incident did not affect her.

"Later, he withdrew the investment directly. The crew almost broke up after two days of filming. There was no filming for the film, so they all went home on vacation, and the company was still helping to raise funds."

Zhang Jiao thinks that this boss is a bit stupid, and he doesn't make money when he has money.The big deal is to change the heroine and choose to divest.

The means are too poor, and it seems not atmospheric enough.

Chu Yan suddenly remembered something, turned over and sat on her side, holding Zhang Jiao's face with her hands, her eyes burst out with surprise.

"Boss, come and invest in our crew!"

Zhang Jiao: "?"

Gossip and find a place to spend money for yourself?

"I don't have money to invest."

Chu Yan didn't believe it, Zhang Jiao must be richer than her father!

"Then why don't you go to your dad to invest?"

Everyone treats her like a sheep, so she must give her some time to raise her wool.

Seeing that Zhang Jiao was indifferent to her persuasion, Chu Yan's eyes lost their light, but she still didn't give up.

"How do you know I didn't look for it! I did. Dad said he couldn't afford that much money."

Zhang Jiao frowned, "It shouldn't be, I received a lot of dividends a while ago."

How long ago did it come, it seems to be the time when the construction of the shopping mall started.Zhang Jiao can't remember clearly, she hasn't been out much recently, and she doesn't have a specific concept of time.

"It is indeed a dividend, but Dad is going to use it to buy mines. I heard that several mines will be auctioned in Country J, and Dad is making preparations."

That's why Chu Yan didn't willfully insist on her father's help. After all, the profit comparison between the two is still very obvious.

Well, my uncle's fighting spirit is indeed incomparable to that of her salted fish.Zhang Jiao also has the money to buy mines, and she also knows how profitable the mines are, but well, she has no manpower.

"So please help me, I like this script very much. If you are worried, then treat the money as a loan from me, and I will return it to you when I make money."

Chu Yan coquettishly drawled a long voice, and coquettishly held Zhang Jiao's head and shook it left and right, making her dizzy.

She pushed Chu Yan's hands away, "Stop! You are not acting like a baby, you are killing me!"

She rubbed her temples and relaxed for a while before she felt more comfortable. "Show me the script first."

Investment is no problem, but she has to look at the quality of the script first.

Seeing that her tone was loose, Chu Yan happily jumped out of bed, picked up the script from the dressing table, and handed it to Zhang Jiao.

Zhang Jiao was a little curious, "You come to play with me, why do you still carry the script with you?"

Chu Yan looked at you, what are you talking about, "I have to memorize the script and be ready to join the group at any time. What if the company raises enough funds and calls me back?"

She was so calm that Zhang Jiao felt that she was not seeking to make progress.

With such a diligent attitude, no wonder she can become the best heroine in the novel!
Look at yourself, this salted fish.

Zhang Jiao lamented, forget it, just lie down!
In addition, she had to put the matter of recruiting troops on the agenda as soon as possible.Now her investment career can be regarded as blossoming everywhere, and she urgently needs a professional person to help her manage it.

This way she can lie flatter even more.
