I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

  I have to do some errands in the afternoon, so I will definitely not be able to eat garlic.

  Xu Xin felt a little regretful.

   It is comfortable to eat two bowls of noodles and one plate of fried chili.

  I haven't eaten the meal my father cooked for several months, and every bite has a familiar taste. It is also the taste memory that every child dreams of when they go out...Huh?

   This sentence is good.

   I have to write it down quickly.

  Thinking of this, he took out his mobile phone and typed out this passage in a crackling voice.

   But his actions have reaped Xu Daqiang's dissatisfaction:

   "Let's have a meal and play with your phone."

   "How about playing with your mobile phone... This is it, Dad, listen to it."

  He read out the sentence he had just thought of with a loud voice.

  Xu Daqiang was holding a noodle bowl. He looked a bit like when he was in the third or fourth grade of elementary school, when he heard his son write a composition for the first time.

   There is a smile on the face, and there is relief.

  Although it was only a short sentence, the emotion in his eyes was unadulterated happiness.

   It's as if Xu Xin's words are so shocking and brilliant.

  But if I like it, I like it, and there is still a habit in my mouth:

   "Well, it's not bad, but I still have to work hard~"

  It looks like he is afraid that Xu Xin will be proud and not study hard.

   "I plan to use this sentence in the food documentary. There is a section in the theme that is dedicated to homesickness. Everyone's taste code is actually the taste of hometown, the taste of their own food..."

  He began to talk about his ideas endlessly.

  Xu Daqiang doesn't know what kind of food documentary his son wants to make.

  But it doesn't stop him from liking to listen.

  Because this is a job my son likes.

   is also the source of his son's excellence.

   Watching his son eating the meals he made, listening to his son talking about the content of his work.

   Eloquent narration is like a pot of old wine.

   You don’t need to drink, you’ll get drunk just by smelling it.

  So, I seldom eat carbs because I started to manage my body, but today I also made an exception and filled two bowls.

  Because of the noodles, the work conversation came to an end for the time being.

  After sitting back on the dining table with his rice bowl, Xu Daqiang said:

   "How do you know that you are in Shanghai today?"

   "Didn't Mimi read your Weibo?"

"Oh... you also said that you will go to Guangzhou after finishing the work in these two days. You can't let your father-in-law take it with you, and you plan to live in Guangzhou for a while... Our family can't be a big shopkeeper, your movie is over. Hurry back too."

"Ok, I know."

  Hearing Xu Xin agree, he saw that there was also the bottom of his bowl.

  Xu Daqiang looked at the carbs in his bowl, and took another half of the bowl for his son with chopsticks.

  Xu Xin then asked:

   "Is there something wrong with this visit to the devil?"

   "It's not your business."

   "...?"

   Seeing his doubts, Xu Daqiang said with a smile:

   "I found a relationship. Today, just because of the... World Expo, a few people from Wuxi came here and chatted. Let's make an appointment for tea in the afternoon."

  Xu Xin's eyes lit up now:

   "Is there a door?"

   "We're all friends, can't we just get in touch?"

  Xu Daqiang smiled:

  "Wuxi has not been doing well in the past two years. In their words, the economy "steps on the brakes", the ecology "turns on the red light", and the industrial growth rate is at the bottom of the province..."

   "...Isn't it possible?"

  Xu Xin was a little surprised:

   "The city was pretty good when I went there last time."

   "Did you walk from the airport?"

"Um."

"Then if you look around, especially the industrial area, you will know. The last time we chatted together, according to what they said, from 2007 to this year, nearly 3,000 large and small factories in Wuxi have relocated. It’s very barren. They’re in the throes of transformation now. They’re going to build a “New Wuxi” this year, focusing on the Internet of Things and building a huge IoT industrial park. The subway will start to be repaired this year, and the airport will start this year. Expansion...is the critical time to attract investment. Let Sanshui approach."

   "..."

  Xu Xin was a little speechless and asked:

   "Is the investment large?"

"That's it. The initial investment is about 15 billion or so? Ah, it takes up a lot of cash flow, but your brother has studied it and thinks that the rate of return is OK. Wow, it can be done. As I said, the price is given. A little bit of a discount, and the quality is so hard... The two sides have negotiated, and the face is bright, and the matter of the director is not a matter."

  If someone else said this, Xu Xin would definitely say it politely:

   "I thank you on behalf of Director Zhang."

   But this is his own father, he didn't make so many lies, and said directly:

   "At that moment, I will call Director Zhang and talk about it... He should feel at ease."

"Ang, let's fight. I have to thank others for talking about this. If it weren't for him, you and your brother wouldn't be able to see the changes in Wuxi. After being the bottom city in Jiangsu for several years, they are also very annoyed. This time It just happened to be an opportunity. With the experience of large-scale urban transformation and relocation, our family’s real estate specializing in people’s livelihood can be regarded as a wow.”

   Speaking of this, Xu Daqiang paused...

  Suddenly came a sentence:

   "At that time, those old brothers will also be counted ashore."

   "..."

  Xu Xin didn't answer these words.

   But the meaning is already understood.

   "Then is this a big deal?"

"It's almost wow. Your aunt Zhao also participated in this matter. But you dare not say it, it's hard to say if you don't sign the contract. I also made another preparation, walking on both sides, no matter what, this year let The baby goes to school normally, and the household registration will be obtained before the end of the year, you tell Director Zhang, don't worry."

"Um."

  Xu Xin nodded, knowing what to do.

   This topic ends here, and while picking the noodles in the bowl, he suddenly remembered something and asked:

   "Dad, when did you start playing Weibo?"

   "It's all taught by Mimi."

  Xu Daqiang shrugged and said something casually.

   then asked:

   "What? What do you think? Can't play with you young people?"

   "That's not true, but I was quite surprised when I found out that you play Weibo yesterday."

   "Are you following me?"

   "No... I don't have a trumpet, Yang Mi paid attention."

   "What's her name?"

   "Mr. Fox's ID is her."

"…ah?"

  Xu Daqiang was taken aback for a moment:

   "That fox who always leaves me messages is Mimi?"

   "You don't know?"

   "..."

   Didn't answer this question, Xu Daqiang's face turned weird.

  In the end, I gradually became a little embarrassed:

   "Dad gave you trouble?"

   "?"

  Xu Xin was a little confused:

   "What do you mean?"

   "Mimi said too much?"

   "Say nothing...what?"

   "..."

  Looking at his son's dazed appearance, Xu Daqiang said:

"Those girls don't let them pay attention. Even if they watch it and play Weibo, they are surprised, so they make a mutual relationship. It doesn't have anything to do with it... You told Mimi Dahao not to pay attention , don’t pay attention to it, people in the province know it, they don’t think he’s a good person, and it’s embarrassing for you.”

   "That won't happen."

  After understanding what his father meant, Xu Xin shook his head:

   "Yang Mi didn't think about it that much. You don't know about her? You are the one who loves her the most."

  Xu Daqiang had a smile on his face.

  But I feel a little embarrassed.

After all, from Yang Mi's point of view, if the friends around know that her husband's Weibo is followed by a group of girls every day, Brother Xu is long and Mr. Xu is short, even if others don't say it, they must have some ideas in their hearts .

  So, the smile slowly subsided.

  Xu Daqiang thought for a while and said:

   "I'm not going to play anymore."

   "Did you misunderstand something?"

  Xu Xin quickly shook his head:

"Yang Mi really didn't say anything else, she didn't even say anything, yes, yesterday I saw her watching your Weibo, and asked who it was before she told me. It's really not what you think …And, we both support that you can find someone to take care of you, it’s true. Brother also…”

   "...Don't worry, I will definitely not look for it."

  As soon as Xu Xin said this, Xu Daqiang subconsciously refused.

  People often say that once bitten by a snake, they are afraid of well ropes for ten years.

  Although my baby has been very sensible in the past two years, I can still vividly remember the past when I almost burned the whole house down because I brought a girl back home when I was in the rebellious period.

  And now that the conversation has come to this point today, Xu Xin thinks... it's better to talk more.

  So he looked at his father with an unusually serious look:

   "Dad, what you said is true! What about Aunt Sun... I still remember..."

   "..."

  Xu Daqiang suddenly fell silent.

   Seeing this, Xu Xin asked tentatively:

   "Aunt Sun now..."

   "I've been married a long time ago. Probably in 2005? In 2006... I even went to a wedding."

   "Dad, is that right? I'm sorry..."

   "..."

  Hearing this, Xu Daqiang was silent again.

   Then he smiled and waved his hands calmly:

   "I'm so sorry wow... Forget it, don't mention it. Eat noodles, they won't taste good when they get cold."

"…dad."

  Ignoring his father's plan to expose the past, Xu Xin continued to speak seriously:

"If you have around...someone you feel comfortable with, who knows how to love you, and who can take care of you. You are still young, and if you have words...you and Sanshui will not be your burden. Even if you want a younger brother or sister, etc. , you are also welcome... I was a kid when I was a child, I didn't understand. But now I understand... Mom will be happy if she knows..."

"alright!"

  Xu Daqiang roughly interrupted Xu Xin's continuation.

  But I felt that my tone was a little heavy... I quickly changed my mood and said:

   "Okay wow, don't mention wow."

   "..."

  Xu Xin pursed her lips.

  Looked at his father for several seconds, finally lowered his head and continued eating noodles.

   And then said the last sentence:

   "Anyway, it's the truth, now I know that I love you, and I've grown up..."

   "..."

  Xu Daqiang didn't speak.

   just smiled in relief.

yes.

  The baby has grown up.

  I know that I feel sorry for others.

   It's just... how easy is it?

  Now drop woman...

  …

  Father and son enjoyed a very warm family dinner.

   After eating, it was almost time, so Xu Xin drove to the World Expo venue.

   On the way, he called Chen Ting, but he didn't mention that his family was going to improve people's livelihood in Wuxi, nor did he say how many billions to invest.

   Didn't even mention the specific details, just told her that this side has made two-handed preparations, and my dad's attitude is quite positive, and this matter is easy to handle.

  Everything is said in the lightest words.

  But still got Chen Ting's even incoherent voice of gratitude.

   After hanging up the phone, he didn't notify the old man.

  Because it is unnecessary.

   It's like the old man owes himself a lot of favors... why bother.

   That's it, it's good.

   There is no need to let him know how much he has contributed to this matter. Anyway, the matter is done, the child can go to school, and Aunt Ting has a background, and that is enough.

   At 4:30 p.m., the meeting was over, and he immediately rushed to the airport non-stop. Finally, he left the car and keys at the airport for Li Hao to deal with. He boarded the plane and took off, rushing to the crew that had been suspended for two days.

  …

at the same time.

  Shanshui Tea House.

  Li Hao pushed open the door and came to the tea house at the foot of Sheshan. Looking at Xu Daqiang who was tasting tea, he said:

   "Uncle, send them all away."

  Xu Daqiang responded:

"Um."

  Others left, but he did not leave in a hurry, but continued to hold the teacup in his hand, looking at the sun at dusk, as if he was thinking about something.

   Seeing this, Li Hao didn't continue to speak, but sat on the main seat, opened the teapot and looked at it, poured out all the tea leaves, and replaced them with a new pot of tea.

  After the tea was brewed, he poured it into the justice cup. Just as he was about to pour it for Xu Daqiang, he suddenly heard:

   "Xiaohao, do you think Sanjin...has changed much?"

   "...?"

  Li Hao was a little puzzled.

  How did Xin ask this question?

  Although it's not like watching Xu Xin grow up since childhood, everyone has known each other for more than ten years. He followed Xu Daqiang in his early twenties, and he is 33 this year. It can be said that Xu Xin has experienced Xu Xin from not growing up, to puberty, to rebellious period, and now getting married and having children...

   What Xu Xin was like a few years ago, what is he like now?

   It must have changed a lot.

  So he laughed and said:

   "San Jin and uncle you quarreled again?"

  Xu Daqiang smiled:

   "That's not it. It's just...uh."

   He sighed:

"Sometimes he cares too much about people, and his heart is always not at ease... What about Diwa, don't you know that he is acting like a fool? Sanjin...that is a donkey temper. But after going to Yanjing to study, suddenly... he became enlightened. It's totally different~"

   "That's true."

  Li Hao felt the same way:

   "The deepest impression is the time when he came back from the winter vacation of his freshman year. At that time, Uncle, you brought a little girl to dinner. It seems that the surname is..."

   "Xu? Xue? ... I forgot."

"Yes, it's that girl anyway. I even told him in the car to save you some face. Today's relatives are all here... I took him up and called my aunt directly, and I was dumbfounded at the time... Or should I say, Yanjing is the big The city. The quality of the family is high, and Sanjin has gone for half a year, and suddenly it is different..."

   "I have a fart relationship with Yanjing people."

  Xu Daqiang rolled his eyes.

   "If you want to get better, it's also our ancestors' blessing, and it has a relationship with Yanjing."

  Li Hao shrugged:

   "Anyway, since then... Sanjin has been different."

   After finishing speaking, he couldn't help asking:

   "Uncle... Did something happen at noon?"

   "It's not a big deal... At lunch, he chatted with me. After chatting, we talked about women's affairs. I have to let him continue..."

   "..."

  The corner of Li Hao's mouth twitched.

  He can't participate in this topic. After thinking about it, he can only say one thing:

   "San Jin also loves you."

"…well."

  Xu Daqiang let out a long sigh and waved his hands:

"Forget it, let's not talk about it. Are you telling your age? Another one? It's easy to say. What about young women, nine out of ten? How old is it? Who doesn't bring a baby?" One more? After he dies, just like his two brothers, they are not allowed to be beaten..."

   "Haha, it's not impossible. Sanshui and Sanjin Xinxin are both good."

  Hearing this, Xu Daqiang stared:

   "What do you know..."

"Yes Yes Yes…"

  Li Hao nodded quickly, but when the words fell, Xu Daqiang's cell phone rang.

  He took a look, saw that the caller's name was "1 Xiaoxi", and hung up the phone directly. Then he said to Li Hao:

   "I'll go back in a while, and you can clear up the contacts on the phone. Those girls should be deleted. Calling every day... It's very annoying."

   "Eh, good."

  Li Hao responded:

   "Then let's go home directly today?"

"hold head high."

  Xu Daqiang nodded and put down his teacup:

   "Let's go home, buy some meat, order a few dishes and have a drink at night... Have you settled the bill?"

   "Well, it's over."

"How many?"

   "Five boxes of tea, one million. I saved another five boxes of tea, but I didn't need the tea fee, so I transferred two hundred."

"good."

  Xu Daqiang responded, and the two of them walked out of this manor that looked like a single-family villa.

  Sitting in the car, Xu Daqiang began to study what to eat tonight.

   Just thinking about it, the phone rang again.

   He took a look.

  Caller: "1 Liang Bingning".

  Did not hang up the phone this time, but connected directly:

"Hello?"

   "President Xu, where are you in Shanghai?"

  Hearing Liang Bingning's voice, Xu Daqiang responded:

"Um."

   "Where's Xu Xin? Are you leaving?"

   "Let's go. After having a meal at noon, I went to a meeting in the afternoon. Hurry up after the meeting. Isn't there still filming over there~"

   "Okay, let me just say, last night I said that we would eat together at noon today, and he brought me something..."

   "...?"

  Xu Daqiang was also a little stunned:

   "Then how do you know it's in Modu?"

   "Look at your Weibo."

   "..."

  Xu Daqiang's mouth twitched.

   "Okay... what's up?"

   "May I treat Mr. Xu to dinner?"

   "If you don't go, you are just an ordinary person. You are a big star, so I have dinner with you. If it is on the news and Sanjin and Mimi see it, where will I put this face of being a father?"

   "Ha~"

  Hearing this, Liang Bingning on the phone chuckled lightly:

   "I guessed that Mr. Xu said so, I will treat you to a private meal tonight, a friend opened it, I wonder if Mr. Xu is willing to appreciate it?"

  Xu Daqiang was also happy:

   "Haha, you are going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing?"

"Well...not counting. Because of Zhang Ziyi, I always wanted to thank Mr. Xu. As a result, Mr. Xu will not come out this time. Seeing Mr. Xu's Weibo today, I thought it would be better to hit the sun instead of choosing another day." ?How about it?"

  Xu Daqiang looked at the sky outside, thought for a while, and replied:

   "Okay. Then you send the address, and it will pass."

   "Well, okay, see you later."

"Um."

  The phone hung up, Xu Daqiang leaned on the chair and said helplessly:

   "Come on, let's have dinner with a big star."

   "Eh, good."

   Li Hao responded.

   Soon, Xu Daqiang's cell phone vibrated, and Liang Bingning sent the address.

  The two of them drove a Land Rover today, and Xu Daqiang began to adjust the navigation according to the address in the co-pilot. After adjusting the navigation, he also saw spam text messages from 10086 or Mercedes-Benz 4S stores in the text message box.

  He didn't even read these text messages. After Yang Mi helped him set up a function called... what is the function of turning off notifications, after he couldn't see the numbers on those annoying text messages, he didn't bother to read those text messages.

  His mobile phone number is filled with various advertising text messages every day, which is very annoying.

   And just under the text message "1 Liang Bingning", the "1 Xiaoxi" just now also sent a message seventeen minutes ago:

   "Uncle Xu~ Are you in Shanghai? Are you free tonight? Shall we go out to play? Uncle Xu hasn't called Xiaoxi out for a long time~"

  Looking at the content of the text message, he deleted the message without hesitation.

   After returning to the main page, there is no need for Li Hao to do it himself.

  He comes by himself.

  It’s good to change to a smart phone. Although it’s a bit difficult to get started, after getting used to it, it’s much more convenient than my previous Samsung 2010 clamshell.

  The cover of the machine is still troublesome. The most important thing is that it cannot be opened with one hand.

  Opened the phone book, and he kept pulling it down.

  My daughter taught him to put a number in front of the unimportant phone number, so that it will be sorted to the bottom naturally.

   And among the "1"s at the bottom of his phone book, you only need to look at them to know that they are basically girls.

  Start with "1", such as "Meimei", "Evian", "Sijing", etc., are too numerous to enumerate.

  Xu Daqiang began to delete one by one.

   While deleting, muttered:

   "From now on, this Weibo will not dare to say where I am anymore..."

   There are many people in the phone book, but Xu Daqiang basically doesn't take it to read, and clicks one by one.

   First with two names, then with three names.

  Can delete and delete, suddenly saw the name "1 Liang Bingning".

  It was only then that he realized that the last time he met with this girl at home and left a phone call with each other, he actually saved a "1" for her.

   After thinking for a while, he clicked on the editing interface of Liang Bingning's phone number.

  After deleting the number 1, the three characters Liang Bingning were naturally classified into the sequence of letters beginning with "L".

   Next, delete continues.

  Things that the 40-year-old man has eaten, played, and seen... Alone, with his girlfriends, and even with stewardess colleagues in three turns...

  All of them are gone.

He does not mean that.

  He’s already a grandpa, and he’s being scolded as an idiot... How will the children look up to others in the future?

  Recommended a book, Maoshan fusion, very well written, old author, everyone can read it, recommended!
