【208】 Dad's new job
I couldn't go to Dongshan Lake to practice boxing on Sunday morning. The film and television city was too far away from there. I hope the old man wouldn't be angry with me for this.
Just as I imagined, Su Qiao and I passed the audition with ease the next day. While I felt lucky, I couldn't help but criticize the decadence of U.S. imperialism:
Why is it so important to have a backer? I thought that you, the United States, known as the beacon of human civilization, had already passed the ancient social bad habit of "selling favors"! It turns out that we are all orangutans and monkeys, and no one should think that anyone is hairy.
?
Suddenly I remembered that Niu Shili had complained to others about the British drama "Merlin" he had been following. Because one of the ordinary-looking actresses was the fiancée of the drama director, the director actually let her play the role of a woman who was supposed to be a peerless beauty.
King Arthur's queen, in the play, let a group of kings and knights fight for her. The audience, whose IQ and aesthetics were insulted at the same time, naturally complained, and there were a lot of curses online and offline.
You and your fiancée are quite romantic! It doesn’t matter whether the audience’s eyes can stand it or not, right?
Because I had to play a monk, it was really hot for me to wear a hood in the middle of summer. However, Su Qiao was able to take off the armor she had been wearing for two weeks and change into a cool outfit similar to that of a maid in the Ming Dynasty.
After the director announced that she had passed the audition, Su Qiao couldn't hide her joy and ran to me and said many words of thanks. Maybe it was because she had taken off her clothes in my room last night. Her cheeks were red with embarrassment. Once I
If you look at her for a long time, she will be at a loss whether to stand or sit.
"Mr. Ye, if... if there is any need for me in the future, please tell me and I will be here at your call."
Where is your use? Do you want you to perform acrobatics at the birthday party of one of my distant nephews? The term "on call" is a bit ambiguous! Being polluted by the pornographic films on my father's hard drive, I always think
Go in the direction of the call girl!
As if to prove her sincerity, Su Qiao gave me her mobile phone number. Her mobile phone was an old Nokia model, and the casing was really worn.
"Mr. Ye, I made you laugh." When she said this, her melancholy expression showed a rare light, "If I receive the contract payment from the crew, I will change it to a more decent mobile phone, but of course I will not change the mobile phone card.
, otherwise it would be rude if you couldn’t find me on the phone..."
I asked casually: "You will rent a house closer, right?"
Su Qiao nodded, "Thanks to Mr. Ye, I can walk a lot less every day."
"By the way, will your distant cousin continue to live with you?"
I don’t know why I asked this question. Maybe I remembered the sentence that my history teacher mentioned in passing when he was talking about Chen Sheng and Wu Guang’s uprising: “If you are rich and noble, don’t forget each other.”
When Su Qiao mentioned her distant cousin, she was unexpectedly panicked.
"She...she suddenly received a call from her boyfriend in her hometown, and she dropped everything here and went back to get married! So, I became a person again..."
I thought it was too much of a coincidence that Su Qiao's cousin chose to return to her hometown to get married at this time, but after asking Aunt Ren, I found out that it was true that her cousin was getting married.
But, it happened at the wrong time.
As soon as Su Qiao's cousin returned to the rental house three days ago, she saw her boyfriend kneeling on one knee at the door, holding flowers in his hands and coming from thousands of miles away. She was so moved that she burst into tears and immediately left her few luggage with her.
Su Qiao and her boyfriend took the train home to hold a wedding.
Therefore, the person who persuaded Su Qiao to tell me unspoken rules could not be her cousin. Su Qiao lied about this matter.
However, it is not difficult to understand that when a girl is desperate and devotes herself to a strange man, if she says it is someone else's idea, it can indeed reduce her sense of shame, and no one can guarantee that her cousin has not said similar things to her before.
Dad often said: If you have no desires, you will be strong. You will always be vulnerable when facing temptations.
That's a good thing to say, but when it comes to himself, it's confusing again.
I was busy on the set until eight o'clock in the evening (and I still can't remember what I finished in the end). Aunt Ren drove me back home after work.
Although the atmosphere in the car was a bit tense along the way, and Xiaoqin wanted me to sing to her out of the blue, I was still very grateful that I was spared the fatigue of squeezing the subway.
I can see that Aunt Ren is more tired than anyone else on the set. Wu Zhi is like the chief surgeon. It sounds glamorous, but in fact it is extremely physical work (doctors often stand for 14 hours continuously during major surgeries). Rather than saying that
They are white-collar workers, rather blue-collar workers with higher incomes, similar to American miners (not comparable to Chinese miners).
Although she was sarcastic to me on the surface, every time before and after meal time, Aunt Ren would always ask me if I had eaten and where I had eaten. When time was tight and everyone ordered lunch boxes, she also specially asked the housekeepers not to miss anything.
Got me, the new guy.
So looking at Auntie Ren's slightly tired figure behind the steering wheel in the night, I felt nostalgic in my heart.
When I was little, I liked Aunt Ren very much. The little bully didn’t dare to bully me in front of my mother, and Aunt Ren always gave me sweets. I was still a handsome young lady at that time, and maybe Aunt Ren liked her too.
What about me.
Time passed, the little bully became a girl, and Aunt Ren no longer liked me. To her, I was just a bad boy who wanted to kidnap her daughter.
When I walked into the house that I hadn't been back to for almost two days, the smell of beer and mold hit my nose. No wonder Amy said that our house smelled bad that time. It seemed that it really needed to be cleaned.
As soon as I walked into the living room, I found my father with a heavy face, wearing a crisp suit, and the lenses of his glasses were carefully cleaned. He was sitting behind the dining table like a professor waiting for the class to start.
If these changes were gratifying, the suitcase at his feet was cause for concern.
"Dad, what are you going to do? Are you running away from home dressed like a dog? Don't you dare to be more worthless!"
I was so angry that after my father was hit twice by Ai Shuqiao, I couldn’t even write a review of the pornographic films that I had always been addicted to. Are women’s toxins so terrible?
After hearing my guess, my father looked very embarrassed.
"Xiaolin, you, you misunderstood. Dad is out doing business."
Doing business? You are dragging your suitcase to do business! Are you going to the United States to find Ai Shuqiao? If you want to beat her up, I will go with you! But according to your muddled feelings towards her
, maybe I would just take a look at it from a distance, and then run back with tears streaming down my face! I don’t want to be embarrassed by you and be sent to the United States!
"Xiao Lin, I'm not going to a place far away. I'm just an old classmate from the past - he is now the vice president of the university. He wants to ask me to help him compile a textbook on space physics. He praised it for his professional title. This matter
He has been telling me for a long time, but I have never agreed. Recently, something like this happened. I was very confused when I stayed at home, so I just wanted to take the opportunity of compiling teaching materials to calm down..."
Eh? Which university? The university where you used to teach? Why is it that your old classmate has been the vice president for so many years and is not as proficient in compiling teaching materials as you, a person who has been selling sex toys for more than ten years?
The vice-principal rented a single room in a hotel for his father near the university town in Dongcheng District. The room was cleaned by waiters every day, and three meals a day were reimbursed. He only asked his father to use a month to edit a technical book.
The teaching materials that surpass those of his peers are in his name, so that he will not be ridiculed for lack of writings of sufficient quality.
The reason why my father had been reluctant to agree before was because he couldn't let go of the business in the store. Recently, he found out that I also managed the online store well, and an old classmate came to beg him again, and he didn't have the nerve to refuse.
"Xiao Lin, I went out to help people compile teaching materials. Firstly, it changed my mood, and secondly, the pay was good. I'm just a little worried about you and your family's online store... Do you think you can do it at home during this month? Yes.
The online store and schoolwork are all on you, you are too tired! If you feel that it is not possible, I will turn down this job immediately..."
No, don’t turn it down! Although your idea is just to hide in the ivory tower to escape Ai Shuqiao, but maybe this is an opportunity for you to return to college! Compared to the owner of an adult products store, I am more
I hope to have a father who is a university lecturer!
What does the online store mean? In the past, you could survive three days of fishing and two days of drying nets. I am young and don’t drink alcohol. Let me run it for a month, I can run it for a year without any problem! At most, I can take classes.
I use my mobile phone as a customer service when I go home. I just need to call the courier to pick up the goods when I go home. I can also exercise while moving boxes. I usually spend more energy hitting sandbags!
So I pushed my dad out of the house without any reason and told him that it was totally fine for me to be alone at home. Not only was it fine, I could also increase the sales of the online store. If you haven't compiled the teaching materials, don't come back to see me.
Dad hesitantly told me: "Well, I will send the specific address to your mobile phone tomorrow. Although compiling teaching materials requires a relatively quiet environment, Xiaolin, if you have anything to do, be sure to inform me, I will definitely
Take time out to help you hold parent-teacher conferences and so on..."
"No, no! Just immerse yourself in the ocean of knowledge! I also need a quiet environment to run an online store!"
Chapter completed!
