In the silent place

Chapter 1 Goodbye

Bai Yutang never expected to see Zhan Zhao again, and it was under such circumstances.

Early in the morning, director Liang Yigu called to remind him not to forget to go to Muguan at 9 am.Bai Yutang was sleeping drowsily, he hesitated and agreed.After hanging up the phone, I picked up the mobile phone next to the bed and looked at it. It was not yet 7 o'clock, and I fell back on the bed and continued to sleep under the quilt.When I opened my eyes again, it was almost 8 o'clock.Thinking of Mu Guan's matter, he suddenly became sober, lifted the quilt and slid back to his feet.

Although Bai Yutang was mentally prepared, he still felt a little headache when he saw the huge crowds in the lobby on the first floor of Muguan Pictures.In fact, he understood what Liang Yigu meant. Since the book "Worth It" became popular on the Internet, many film companies wanted to buy the copyright to make a film and television drama. This time the author agreed to sell the copyright to Bai's, which was also a negotiation It took more than half a year to reach an agreement.Liang Yigu was selected by the Bai family to direct this drama, besides being happy, he was also grateful to Bai Yutang.Although the two had a good personal relationship, they still insisted on asking Bai Yutang to supervise the interview for the second male lead, in order to give him face and return favors.

In order not to cause commotion, Bai Yutang didn't take the elevator, turned directly to the side door in the corner, and climbed the stairs to the third floor.As soon as he stepped out of the stairs, he bumped into Min Soo-soo.

"Exercise, take the stairs if you don't need the elevator."

"Sister-in-law is still so beautiful today." Bai Yutang answered irrelevantly, seeing that Min Xiuxiu was holding two paper cups of coffee, he was not polite, and grabbed a cup with his hand.

Min Xiuxiu was not surprised, and said with a smile: "Your elder brother said a few days ago that he hasn't seen you for a long time. Next week your second brother is coming from the south on a business trip, and it just so happens that the brothers gather together."

Bai Yutang said hello while drinking coffee. "Sister-in-law let me know on a fixed date, and promise to be there on call."

"Then it's settled. Director Liang is waiting for you in the No. 3 conference hall. Go quickly."

"Then I'll go there first. See you later, sister-in-law."

Standing at the airport, Jiang Dong was sweating profusely.It was agreed that the flight would arrive at 6:50, and he would have rushed to the airport at 6:30, but no one came out until 7:20.He is a little short-sighted and doesn't usually wear glasses. He stood under the flight schedule and squinted for a long time, only to find that the flight was delayed until 8:10.Isn't this cheating? If you don't send him to the door, the old couple will definitely nag him for ten days and a half months, but he doesn't dare to neglect Bai Yutang's side, after all, he just took over Bai Yutang's manager position and is dissatisfied. two months.At 8:35, he finally saw the person waiting, and he couldn't help grinning.One is really happy to see someone coming.Second, if you are lucky, you can still go to the company in time to meet Bai Yutang.

"How about it, are you tired after flying for such a long time?"

"It's okay, but I'm a little sleepy." Seeing that Jiang Dong wanted to help him with his luggage, Zhan Zhao was not polite to him. "I'm sorry for making you wait so long." He felt a little sorry, because the plane was temporarily delayed due to the heavy rain before departure.I couldn't get through the phone call, but luckily the delay wasn't too long, otherwise I don't know how long Jiang Dong would have to wait.

"Let's just say it verbally. I'll kill you when you turn around."

"Why is this difficult, you order a place."

Jiang Dong hurriedly led Zhan Zhao to the parking lot, looked left and right all the way, and when he saw the car approaching, he took Zhan Zhao behind him.Throwing the luggage into the rear compartment, the two sat in the car, Jiang Dong raised his hand and looked at his watch.

"You ask me how deeply I love you, and how much I love you? My love is true, my love..."

The ringtone of the mobile phone was particularly harsh when it was quiet, and Jiang Dong was taken aback.

"Hey?"

"Ah, Dad, I got it." As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Dong moved the phone two feet away from his ear.Dad's loud voice was louder than the phone ringing in decibels.He pointed to the phone in his hand and whispered to Zhan Zhao, "My dad, he's yelling at me again. You talk to him twice."

Zhan Zhao answered the phone with a smile: "Uncle, it's me."

Jiang Dong let out a long breath and started the car. At this point, let's go say hello to Bai Yutang first.It is better to offend one side than to be inhumane on both sides.

Jiang Dong stopped on the road and bought some porridge for Zhan Zhao, and told him that he was going to the company to do some errands.When Zhan Zhao heard it, he was happy.You said it earlier, it’s not the same if I take a taxi home by myself.Jiang Dongfu pretended to be wronged, I can let you do this, even my parents won't do it.If you want to do this, it won't put me inside.This time Zhan Zhao was silent.obediently carried the porridge and followed Jiang Dong into the Muguan Films building.

"I'll call the old man again to reassure him. You sit here and wait for me, and I'll try for a quick solution."

"Give me the phone, and I'll talk to uncle. Don't worry, it's important. Anyway, I can rest here." Pointing to the plastic bag in his hand, he added with a smile: "There is also porridge drink."

Zhan Zhao sat on the chair, his eyes were fighting.In fact, he wasn't very hungry, he ate a little on the plane, but the porridge exuded a scent of green onions, which still aroused his appetite.Unknowingly drank more than half of it.If you are full and warm, you will not be able to withstand sleepiness.His head was like a chicken pecking at the rice, little by little, and finally fell asleep on the table.

This is what Bai Yutang saw when he walked in.

Wrapped in a dark blue plush coat, a person was lying on the table and fast asleep.A few rays of sunlight shone on him through the gaps between the shutters, casting mottled shadows.Probably because he heard the sound, he slowly straightened up, rubbed his eyes, and looked towards the door.

"Bai... Bai Yutang?"

Bai Yutang will never forget those eyes in his life.It is as clear and bright as it was four years ago, like a brook in autumn, without any impurities.

Zhan Zhao!Zhan Zhao is back!

Jiang Dong was a little anxious when he trotted back, and when he opened the door, he almost bumped into Bai Yutang who was standing by the door.

"Young Master Bai, why did you come here?"

"It's clean. Come here and take a breath."

"Coincidentally, let me introduce you, this is the one I just told you about, my cousin..."

The corners of Zhan Zhao's lips curled up slightly, and he smiled and waved at Jiang Dong: "No need to introduce, we know each other. High school..."

Before Zhan Zhao could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Bai Yutang's cold voice: "Jiang Dong, are you fooling me? Could it be that your cousin is mentally handicapped? Such a big man, he needs you to escort him home?"

Jiang Dong froze for a moment, and wanted to explain a few words, but seeing Zhan Zhao's gaze, he swallowed the words again.He intuitively felt that the atmosphere between the two was not right, so he stood there for a while, not knowing what to say.

"Jiang Dong, you're busy with your work. I'll just take a taxi and go back." Zhan Zhao said as he walked to the door to pick up his luggage.

"No." Jiang Dong grabbed Zhan Zhao, stubbornly refusing to let go.Turning his head to look at Bai Yutang, he saw his gloomy face, his eyes fixed on Zhan Zhao, like a sharp knife out of its sheath, wishing to stab his cousin a few times.Seeing that Jiang Dong felt cold, he paused and said to Zhan Zhao in a low voice, "Otherwise you'll wait for me here, and I'll take you back during lunch break."

"No, I can do it myself."

Seeing the two of them tugging and tugging beside him, Bai Yutang felt his breath stuck in his chest and felt uncomfortable all over.

"Okay, I, Bai Yutang, am not a person who doesn't count his words. Since I just promised you, you should send him home, so as not to let people say that I am unreasonable."

It's fine if it's a joke, but Bai Yutang's tone made people feel like a fishbone stuck in his throat, making it uncomfortable to get up or down.Jiang Dong saw that Zhan Zhao's body froze, his bloodless face turned paler, and he couldn't hold back anymore.

"Young Master Bai, what you said..."

"Then thank you." Zhan Zhao didn't look at Bai Yutang, and lowered his eyes to him and nodded.Carrying luggage in one hand and dragging Jiang Dong with the other, he walked towards the door.

Looking at Zhan Zhao's stubborn back, Bai Yutang suddenly regretted it.Why are you so angry with him? Finally, goodbye.But who can be angry with this!A best friend who was the strongest when he was young, suddenly left for another country one day, and he didn't even say goodbye to him.Shouldn't he be angry? !It's not bad to throw him a few words, but it's not bad if he doesn't beat him.

During the interview in the afternoon, Bai Yutang was absent-minded. Director Liang asked him if he had any candidates he was satisfied with.Director Liang has always known Bai Yutang's temper, seeing that he is so stingy with his words, he guessed that some short-sighted person must have offended the old man again, so he simply kept away from him, lest he might suffer the same consequences .

Jiang Dong dragged Zhan Zhao out of Muguan, not in such a hurry as in the morning.Anyway, Bai Yutang heard from him that his cousin had returned from overseas, so he specially gave him a day off.I don't think I'm going to participate in any big event today, it doesn't matter if he's there or not.Who would have imagined that after meeting Zhan Zhao, something like this would happen.I don't know if it's because Zhan Zhao has a good temper, or he's simply heartless, but when Bai Yutang said that about him, he seemed to be a normal person, and in turn persuaded himself not to get angry with Bai Yutang.

"Zhan Zhao, what's the matter between you and Bai Yutang?" Jiang Dong had been with Bai Yutang for two months, and this was the first time he saw him get angry for no reason.Although Bai Yutang has a bit of a young master's temper, he is not an unreasonable person.

"What can I have against him?" Zhan Zhao's lips curled up, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, with a harmless smile on his face.

"Small man, if you don't want to tell your brother, just say it. You're laughing like a fool." Jiang Dong said, stretching out his hands to rub Zhan Zhao's hair.

"How can there be?" Zhan Zhao smiled even more, his eyes bent into crescents.

"Okay, your brother and I are not a person who likes to gossip."

"cousin......"

"Let's go home quickly, it's already so late, if you don't go back, your uncle will hack me to death."

When Zhan Zhao heard this, he laughed out loud. "Just right, I bought a kitchen knife for my uncle."

Jiang Dong was also happy when he heard it. "You boy, you're pretty good at picking up what you like."

The two talked and laughed all the way, they haven't seen each other for several years, but they don't feel unfamiliar at all.Blood relationship is something really strange sometimes.

After entering the house, the old couple was happier seeing Zhan Zhao than Jiang Dong, his own son.Pulling Zhan Zhao to ask the cold and warm.Jiang Dong is not jealous at all, his cousin is good-looking and has an easy-going temper, it would be weird if anyone doesn't like him.

Zhan Zhao didn't bring much luggage, so he brought a chef's kitchen knife for his uncle and a woolen scarf for his aunt.Jiang Yewan is short-tempered, he unwrapped the gift without waiting.After a while, he ran into the living room with a little bump, shaking the kitchen knife in his hand and yelling. "Xiao Zhao, this knife is good, I like it."

"Don't run around with a knife. You have plenty of time at night for you to show off." Liu Rong laughed angrily, her wife has this temper, and when she is happy, she looks like an old child. "Xiao Zhao, you are tired too. Let's have dinner right away, and you can go to rest after eating, and let your uncle show you a good trick at night."

Zhan Zhao was also rude, threw his luggage into the room prepared for him, and brought his aunt to the dining room.The family talked and laughed at the dinner table.It was a joy to eat a meal.

After lunch, although Zhan Zhao was very sleepy, he decided to go to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities.The old couple were worried that he would be alone, and insisted that Jiang Dong go with him.It is said that the road has been rebuilt and has changed a lot, and he does not know the road.Sighing, Zhan Zhao saw that the two elders persisted, and couldn't bear to say even the words of rejection.

"Cousin, how did you become Bai Yutang's manager?" At the dinner table just now, my aunt complained that Jiang Dong hadn't made progress in the past few years, and recently he finally joined Bai Yutang and became a manager.Unexpectedly, he was still the manager of the popular star Bai Yutang, and he expressed a lot of relief in his tone.Zhan Zhao has always known that Jiang Dong's work is related to film and television, but he did not expect him to be an agent.

"I'm just lucky. The entertainment business school diploma will come in handy right now."

"Then why didn't it come in handy a few years ago?"

"Didn't you listen to my mother talking about it? In the past few years, I didn't think about making progress, and I missed every opportunity. This time, Bai's application, I originally tried it with a fluke mentality. I got hired when I thought about it.”

"Oh." Zhan Zhao responded lightly, and took a soft-bristled toothbrush for children from the shelf to look at.There is a big smiling face on the handle of the toothbrush, which makes people feel happy.He smiled, chose a blue one and put it in the shopping basket. "Cousin, don't tell Bai Yutang about my business."

"Don't worry, your cousin is not a big-mouthed woman."

Zhan Zhao has a fair complexion, his low profile face is clear and distinct, and his straight nose bridge is as perfect and delicate as a Greek sculpture.Jiang Dong looked at him, and then at the children's toothbrush in the shopping basket. He still had a hippie smile on his face, but he felt unspeakably uncomfortable.
