I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 189 187. The aunt collapsed in just a moment

"Brother Xu, the company suddenly asked me to have a meal with my sister. I was chatting with Sister Zeng about something, and I specifically asked me to tell you that she may not be able to go back for lunch at noon."

"Ah? Didn't you agree just now?"

"Yes, that's the call I received from Sister Zeng when I was on the phone with you."

"This... okay, I understand. Then I won't wait for her."

"OK, all right."

Taking back the phone, Xu Xin scratched his chin.

Although he was temporarily let go by his girlfriend, he was not angry at all. He just felt that... his girlfriend looked very busy.

I won't become a useless person waiting to die in the future, right?

Eat your money, spend your money, and let you have babies...

Oops, when I think about it, I feel that you may have done something wrong in your previous life, and you ended up with a creditor like me.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing twice.

As for the rest, he really didn't have much idea.

From the time when they were still boyfriend and girlfriend, Xu Xin especially remembered that during the chat after listening to the cross talk in Dashilan, Xu Xin heard her personally say that she wanted to be a "star".

Although he couldn't talk about comparing hearts with each other, he asked himself, it would be okay if it happened on a whim, but if it was something he had been determined and serious about since he was a child, then no matter who the other person was, whether he was a boyfriend or girlfriend, or his parents, by virtue of If you want to easily change yourself with just a few words, it is basically impossible.

He is like this, and so is Yang Mi's temperament.

That was her dream, and now she is implementing it down-to-earth.

So Xu Xin didn't intend to stand in her way and make dramas like "You can't stay with me" or "I just want you by my side now".

Too vulgar.

Too stupid.

No need.

Maybe it's because of the dream that I can't remember the details clearly?

He always feels that what he is pursuing now is more spiritual.

And especially enjoy the lust of having the other person pester you and miss you like crazy after not seeing each other for many days.

That kind of total devotion, and that kind of feeling that bursts out from the soul's connection... Compared with it, pure indulgence is nothing.

Therefore, every day his girlfriend leaves, his thoughts become purer.

He believed that the other party did the same.

I recently read a book by Immanuel Kant, and there was a sentence in the book that he thought was particularly good: the so-called freedom is not to do as one pleases, but to dominate oneself.

He liked this sentence very much and felt that it was a more straightforward explanation of the Confucian "examination of myself three times".

So...you still need to read more.

Thinking of this, he shook his head and decided to cook some noodles himself.

My girlfriend is not here, so I will definitely not be able to eat the two Wagyu steaks I specially ordered from a Western restaurant.

Although he can fry, he has no clue about the so-called three-ripe and five-ripe.

The original plan today was for my girlfriend to come back, fry a steak, and then use the fried sauce in the refrigerator that was indeed made by my girlfriend after several verifications, and cook two bowls of fried noodles for a lunch that was neither Chinese nor Western. of.

The carbs are filling, and the beef provides the energy you need to pound out the meal in the afternoon.

Although Xu Xin received the forks and knives purchased online by his girlfriend one day, he felt that there was a sense of ritual in eating Western food at home. It seemed fashionable at first glance, but in fact it was very vulgar...

After the steak is cooked, put it on the chopping board to rest. After it's rested, just cut it into strips with a knife. Isn't it just right? Why take off your pants and fart...

But since he won't be back at noon, he will cook some noodles by himself.

No matter how bad Xu Xin is at cooking, he ranks first among the losers.

But he can actually cook noodles.

Whether the noodles are cooked or not, just jump up and throw one at the wall.

If it sticks to it, it's cooked.

This is what his girlfriend told him.

…

After working on the script for a while in front of the computer, the time came to noon.

People are also hungry.

He walked to the kitchen, put his cell phone aside, boiled water, cooked noodles, and got the dish codes.

Cut a cucumber into shreds of different thicknesses, make some bean sprouts and blanch them in a noodle soup pot. The soup cooked by this thing is very refreshing. It is said that the poor people in Yanjing used to call it "vegetarian soup". It tastes very good when mixed with fried sauce.

Cut the ham into cubes, beat the eggs together, pour oil into the pot, and then pour it in. After frying the basil, add a little water, five-spice powder, and a dash of soy sauce.

The scrambled eggs are as smooth and tender as tofu.

While Xu Xin was busy working, he was unconsciously speechless.

Although he doesn't know how to cook yet, it seems that his girlfriend's nagging is in his ears when he is doing this.

Nothing that should be noted was missed.

"Tsk."

He was a little emotional.

How much has this been changed? Unconsciously, you can even cook?

These scrambled eggs, these noodles...

Wow, it looks delicious.

With the honeyed confidence of a newbie, after waiting for a large bowl of noodles to be cooked, he took the noodle bowl and the plate of scrambled eggs as tender as water tofu, and did not go to the restaurant. Just like that, I set up a small dining table in the kitchen, which was originally used for temporary food preparation, took a small matza, and sat at the door of the kitchen, planning to eat.

But at this moment, suddenly, he heard the sound of opening the door.

"...?"

The response was half a beat before he shouted:

"Who?"

"Elder Tang, hey hey hey~"

After Yang Mi, who shared a large box with Sun Ting, heard this, she temporarily put down the box and followed the sound to the kitchen door.

As he walked, he made strange noises from his mouth.

When I walked to the kitchen door, I saw my boyfriend sitting at the small table, about to eat.

The longing for her after not seeing her for many days made the smile on her face suddenly brighter...but the smile immediately froze after seeing what her boyfriend was eating.

A pitiful bowl of noodles with strips of cucumbers of various sizes and thickness floating on it. Then there are the sprouted bean sprouts.

Next to the noodle bowl is a plate of scrambled eggs...

The most outrageous thing is that she specially made the jar of fried sauce with lard mixed with rapeseed oil, and the solidified white lard in the jar showed that he didn't even take it out and heat it up, and just planned to mix it with the noodles. have eaten……

How tiring this is! Eating too much lard will make you tired.

Wouldn’t it be uncomfortable to eat such a cold sauce?

Suddenly, her face looked a little strange.

When Xu Xin was still wondering why she suddenly came back instead of saying she wouldn't come back in the morning, he saw the girl's face drooped.

Seems angry.

"……what happened?"

He stood up subconsciously.

"Who messed with you?"

"without……"

The girl shook her head first, and then there was a... indescribable anger:

"What are you eating... How could you be so stupid if I don't come back to eat with you! You... you go out to eat! Why are you so wronging yourself! It's not like our family has no money... What are you doing! !”

"Well……"

be honest.

Xu Xin was a little confused.

Yes, today’s meal was a bit confusing.

As long as he is too lazy to go out to eat, he just wants to take a simple bite.

And...when the two of us were together, we often ate like this. At that time, my girlfriend didn’t know much about cooking, so she would just add some fried chili peppers.

Although the meal was simple, both of them were quite happy.

I don’t think it’s that confusing either…

Besides...even if Fan is a little confused, he won't be angry, right?

Not really.

what happened?

"Isn't this meal... quite good? You often make it for me."

"Then you can't fool around like this! What are you eating! You don't know how to cook it yourself! I...I came back to give you a surprise, what are you doing!"

"Well……"

Subconsciously, Xu Xin looked at Sun Ting.

After all, she was the one who falsely delivered the edict in the morning, saying that her girlfriend would not be back at noon today.

Seeing his accusing look, Sun Ting quickly shook her head:

"Brother, sister just changed her mind temporarily, it has nothing to do with me..."

"..."

Xu Xin was speechless. Before he could speak, Yang Mi had already pushed him away:

"stand up!"

After pushing him aside, the girl, who didn't even enter the door when she came back, walked directly into the kitchen with her arms rolled up and her sleeves rolled up.

Then a voice came from inside:

"Tingting, just go and pick me up in the evening."

"...Okay, sister."

After saying that, Sun Ting quickly nodded to Xu Xin:

"I'm leaving, Brother Xu."

Then he left in despair.

"..."

As soon as she left, Xu Xin, who was standing at the door, glanced at the noodle bowl on his small dining table... and said in a desperate tone:

"Then what should I do with this bowl of noodles..."

But what greeted him was the dangerous gaze of his girlfriend holding a kitchen knife.

Xu Xin shrank his neck.

Oh my god, this is the person who is going to come to my aunt after all.

Can't afford to offend.

"I'll get some clothes."

Slipping away.

…

"White is white, black is black. For color, soak a pot of gray first..."

Reciting the laundry tips given by his girlfriend, he looked at the few clothes in the suitcase, ignoring the cosmetics that almost filled half of the suitcase, and sorted them into categories.

Then I saw a plastic bag.

The plastic bag was full of underwear.

Xu Xin took a look... Good guy.

You have to think about what kind of virtue you want...

After sliding it into the roller, he opened another box and saw several gift boxes.

Just lost interest.

At this time, there was a sizzling sound in the kitchen, and he walked over after hearing the noise.

When I entered, I didn't even have time to change my clothes, and there was the outline of an apron on my back.

The ponytail exposed the back of her snow-white neck, making Xu Xin swallow a little.

He walked over unconsciously and hugged his girlfriend's fragrant body.

But his girlfriend made an inexplicable effort and broke away.

"...?"

Xu Xin was stunned, looking at her looking at the frying pan without looking back, and asked:

"what happened again?"

"Don't talk to me. I'm angry with you!"

Yang Mi said without looking back.

"Why?"

Xu Xin was a little puzzled:

"What did I do to make you angry?"

And the only response I got was "bang bang" twice...

After the garlic cloves were smashed, she threw them into the frying pan.

"...What happened?"

Xu Xin really didn't understand.

Then I heard a "pop" sound coming from the frying pan.

There should be water on the steak, or maybe the garlic... After it hit the oil, it thumped.

"Oops~"

The girl subconsciously covered her eyes.

Xu Xin quickly pulled her over:

"Are you okay? Are you okay? Quick, flush the water..."

Yang Mi followed the direction he directed and came to the pool. The rushing water began to rush to her eyes.

Xu Xin looked worried. It wasn't until the girl opened her red eyes that she asked with concern:

"Are you okay? Did it get into your eyes? Let me take a look..."

"..."

The eyes that were originally a little red turned even redder after hearing these words.

Tears welled up in my eyes.

"Woooo..."

She threw herself into her boyfriend's arms, and in an instant, she started crying.

"Hey you..."

Xu Xin was completely speechless.

What is this for?

"What's wrong with you? You're talking!"

Gentle patting on his girlfriend's back, Xu Xin's voice was filled with anxiety and irritation.

But Yang Mi didn't say anything and just kept crying.

Xu Xin could only comfort.

Then she cried... The girl suddenly left his arms again, turned the steak over in the pot with a rack, then returned to his arms and continued to cry...

"...????"

Xu Xin was stunned.

How long has it been? Do you still remember to flip the steak?

no……

"What on earth are you going to do?"

He wanted to push his girlfriend away and see her expression.

But Yang Mi hugged him tightly, preventing him from struggling.

Xu Xin tried to untie it, but after using his arms several times to hold it open, he said helplessly:

"I'm really angry that you're like this."

"...I feel like I didn't take good care of you, and I feel really bad."

"Well……"

Xu Xin was stunned.

Then, the girl who seemed to have been opened up to talk continued:

"I...had an appointment with you today...and then...someone from the company wanted to have dinner with me...I agreed at first...then...then...chichi~"

After sniffing twice, she continued:

"I called Uncle Xu and had a chat. I felt... tsk tsk... the company's affairs... are not important to you... I got off the plane... so I postponed it until the evening... and then I wanted to give you a surprise... but come back Just looking at you...eating noodles under boiling water...you can't cook...you're fooling yourself with the food...you don't even know how hot the sauce is...what are you doing...why are you so aggrieved by being with me? ...chichi...I feel so bad...I promised Uncle Xu that I would take good care of you...You go out to eat...Why are you eating noodles under boiling water...I'm sorry...Brother...I'm sorry..."

"Well……"

Xu Xin, who finally understood the source of his girlfriend's sudden emotional breakdown, opened his mouth...

Slowly hugged his girlfriend:

"I did it on purpose. Sun Ting told me that you changed the appointment. I just wanted to pretend to be pitiful and let you love me more for a while...I'm sorry, I was wrong."

"Liar!"

Hiding in her boyfriend's arms, she exposed this clumsy lie without hesitation. The girl shook her head:

"It's my fault... I shouldn't have said I ate it at home. I'm sorry..."

"It's okay. There is actually sea cucumber in my bowl, just below. You just didn't see it..."

Before he finished speaking, Yang Mi suddenly let go of him, took the steak out of the frying pan, put it on the cutting board, then covered the cutting board with the pot lid, and returned to his arms... …

"I...fuck..."

Xu Xinren was dumbfounded.

When you are so affectionate, are you still thinking about steak?

After hearing the noise, Yang Mi, who was in her boyfriend's arms, raised her head.

Looking at his speechless look, he burst out laughing:

"Hehe... Here's the Kobe steak. It's not delicious when it's overcooked~"

"..."

You have such a big heart.

Xu Xin was speechless...and then couldn't help but kiss her.

Then……

When the confused and obsessed girl instinctively wrapped her legs around her boyfriend's waist, she noticed the movement towards the kitchen door and said quickly:

"Hey, don't, let's eat first! I have to go downstairs!"

"No, I can't bear it anymore, I'll eat you first!"

Xu Xin's eyes also turned red.

On her...

Why is it so fragrant?

But just as he finished speaking, Yang Mi suddenly stumbled down, and Xu Xin froze immediately.

His legs were wrapped around one leg by the girl's legs using an... incomprehensible movement.

"I said, eat first!"

Hooking her boyfriend's neck, the girl said seriously:

"I don't want you to be hungry..."

"No, eat you first!"

Unexpectedly, Xu Xin's face looked more serious than serious.

"Let me go, quickly, no ink stains!"

"Well……"

Upon hearing this, the girl was stunned and tried to redeem herself:

"How do you eat the steak when it's cold?"

"in spite of!"

"...hehe~"

She jumped again, and her good core strength allowed her to climb back up.

"Eat, eat, eat. Whatever my brother said to eat first, I'll eat whatever, okay~... Hey, have you taken a shower?"

"washed."

"I haven't washed it yet...will you wash it with me?"

"Moo~~~"

"Goose goose goose~~~"

…

"I guess it's still something to do with my aunt."

At the dinner table, Yang Mi held up her chopsticks, picked up a strip of beef that was obviously old, and wiped her nose with paper.

Today's chili is a bit spicy.

"I had an emotional breakdown just now. I saw you pitifully guarding the small table at the door of the kitchen, like a left-behind child. Suddenly I couldn't bear it anymore, and I felt sorry for you. I stayed with you Together, you can even eat so stupidly..."

"But the tension is quite good. The natural expression of emotions from surprise to shock and then back again...the complex emotions mixed with anger and sadness are very impactful."

"..."

The girl looked at the non-human words that came out of her mouth and was speechless:

"What do you mean? Do you think I'm acting!?... Do you think I'm joking with you! I feel so sorry for you! I cried when I saw you eating boiled noodles! You actually think I'm acting!? "

"No, no, no..."

Xu Xin quickly shook his head:

"It's not me, don't talk nonsense. I didn't think you were acting..."

"Then why are you judging my acting skills!?"

"...Is it really acting?"

"Of course not, that's my true expression...Ah!!! Xu Sanjin!! You really think I'm acting!!! I even cried, and you still think I'm acting!!!"

"I really don't have one..."

"Then why are you judging my acting skills!"

"...Look, you said you used your acting skills..."

"...I'm not acting! I'm showing my true feelings!"

"I know."

"Then why are you judging my acting skills!?"

"...No, is it your acting skills? I didn't talk about your acting skills, I just said that your mood is quite good..."

"That's not acting! That's true emotion!!!"

"I know……"

Xu Xin, who was sitting at the dining table with a miserable face, sighed pitifully in his heart.

What are you doing?

What happened?

We've been dating for a year and a half, why didn't you notice before that your girlfriend's aunt seemed so messy and clumsy?

He was a little helpless.

So, just to be on the safe side, he lowered his head and ate in a low profile.

Until I heard this sentence:

"My company may ask me to renew my contract."

"...?"

Xu Xin instantly raised his head and looked at his girlfriend in surprise:

"Where did you get the news?"

"Guess."

Yang Mi shrugged and recounted why she let her boyfriend go this morning.

Including the phone call with Xu Daqiang.

Xu Xin's eyes looked very strange when he heard this:

"When did you have such a good relationship with my dad..."

"Because Comrade Daqiang is very charming~"

Yang Mi smiled and joked:

"And I have been entrusted to take good care of little Xu Xin. Auntie must contact the parents more."

Faced with her joke, Xu Xin subconsciously said:

"Changed the flavor again?...What is it this time?"

"Virginity Series."

"...It's getting more and more perverted. I asked you why it was so laggy when I used your computer to read things in the past two days...Is your hard drive almost full?"

"Oh, stinky brother, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Yang Mi was a little dissatisfied, she made me look like some kind of female pervert.

"Seriously, what do you think?"

"Well……"

Xu Xin thought for a while and said:

"My dad and I have the same opinion. In fact, the division of labor in our industry is very clear. Usually a mine has one large and two small. The big mine manager is the well-deserved leader, and the two deputy mine managers also have different divisions of labor. The mine, the mine Under the mine, the responsibilities of the two sides are clearly divided. Each does his or her own job, and finally the big mine manager brings the upper and lower mines together.

The mine manager will never ask about what happens underground. Because this is an act that crosses the line. In the mine, safety in production is more important than anything else... Safety is even more important than production. If you want to make money, you must implement this set of standards. As for the kind of mines my dad mentioned that have several mine managers, most of them are small coal mines. For example, the boss's brothers and sisters, the boss's brother-in-law, the boss's second uncle... As long as such relatives work in the mines, bad things will happen.

Because everyone knows that coal mines make money, and because of their natural location advantages, their relatives will make even more unscrupulous profits, right? They may even conflict with each other. You have a relationship, I have a relationship, no one is afraid of the other. In order to maintain the stability of all parties, the boss could only close his eyes and pretend not to see it. And this kind of small coal mines usually have the most accidents and thunderstorms. They are famous for taking human lives to make money... But if you move the story of "Red Mansions" to the mines, this is actually the truth.

Therefore, my dad and I have the same opinion. Forget about eating meat, just don’t even drink the soup. Get out of it and have a good night. My dad is right, if your company is really strong, you can eat this piece of meat yourself. But now we have to compromise with others... A director doesn't even have the right to decide the role, so what else is there to do?

In addition, this matter itself is a mess, and there have been thunderstorms before. Now that your company has taken over, it is a matter of course that you have done a good job. And if you don't do it right, it will be blamed on you along with the abuse that had nothing to do with you before. No matter how you look at it, it’s a thankless job, so... I really don’t recommend you get involved. I don’t even recommend you renew your contract... Anyway, I’m here, and you’re worried about not having a movie to shoot? right. "

"..."

After listening to her boyfriend's words, Yang Mi thought thoughtfully and asked:

"Then tell me, if someone from the company comes to me for dinner tonight and brings up the matter of contract renewal, what should I say?"

"……say what?"

"Refuse...I mainly feel that if I just say no, wouldn't it be clear that I'm leaving. I always feel that it will be a little embarrassing..."

"Why? Are you afraid that the company will hide you?"

"I'm not afraid of that."

Yang Mi shook her head:

"No one can live with money, right? What's more... when I was popular now, the company hid me just because I didn't renew my contract. Then who would dare to come here in the future? It's not a contract of betrayal. So it's impossible... ...I just feel a little embarrassed to tell the company so bluntly... Oh, you eat it."

She gave the last piece of steak to her boyfriend. The girl who was talking about business one second became charming and boneless in the next sentence:

"eat more."

Xu Xin rolled his eyes, put the last piece of steak in his mouth, and then heard Yang Mi ask:

"Is today the last day?"

"Um."

"How much?"

"188 million... I don't know if it can reach 1.9."

The two of them were talking about the box office performance of "The Secret That Cannot Be Tellable".

In a blink of an eye, the 38-day screening period has come to the last day.

This movie, which is of great significance to Xu Xin, is finally coming to an end at the end of the first week of school.

The box office of 188 million is enough to inspire people.

From the beginning of the year to now, it is the well-deserved NO.1 domestic film.

It is also the fifth movie in the domestic market this year to have a box office of over 100 million.

The front ones are "Transformers", "Spider-Man 3", "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix", and "Pirates of the Caribbean".

It is a solitary seedling among solitary seedlings.

and. The mythical box office of 188 million is already a rare hit for domestic films in recent years.

Not to mention the return on investment.

There was already a group of investors outside, waving banknotes and scripts, looking for him, hoping that this newly minted billionaire could recreate his glory... but they were all blocked by Xiying Film Studio.

What kind of international joke are you kidding... West Film Studio wants to hire Director Xu to make a movie, but it will have to wait until after 2008.

Therefore, the ups and downs of the outside world have not disturbed Xu Xin for the time being.

Let his life still be peaceful and unusual.

Nothing has changed because of the disturbance from the outside world.

Even if it hadn't been for the promise to his girlfriend to go see the new classmates, he might still have stayed in Shenmu.

These few days of vacation were earned through more than a month of hard work.

Or it could be that the two of them had a good understanding of each other. Suddenly, Yang Mi said:

"Hey, I heard there are a lot of pretty girls this year."

"……in school?"

Xu Xin raised his head curiously.

"right."

Yang Mi responded:

"It is said that she is very good-looking. During the military training, many people gathered around to watch her. It is said that a girl was even named the school beauty."

"Well, when should we go there tomorrow?"

"It's morning. Just like the outfit you matched me with last time, I'm dressed beautifully...school beauty? Humph."

A look of eagerness to win appeared on the girl's face:

"I want to see how beautiful it is!"

"The one I matched for you last time?"

Xu Xin was startled...

Then his eyes suddenly became weird:

"Does that mean I'm going to buy you another Frisbee?"

"I don't walk my dog, so why do I need that thing?"

Yang Mi was confused for a while.

Xu Xin was also speechless.

Although he didn't know why these things came to his mind.

But he still said:

"That outfit... is a bit too eye-catching."

"This is the effect you want! Hum~men, only when you can see but not touch can you remember the most deeply! After all, I will be your classmate from now on, and I can't suppress the situation? What will happen in the future? They are thinking about you in all kinds of ways. When I go, I just tell them: Want to miss my boyfriend? Let’s first consider whether we are pretty enough or not!”

Frankly speaking, Xu Xin felt quite accomplished after hearing this.

After all, my girlfriend is so "protective".

but……

"Aren't we keeping things private? Even if you come to me, people won't know."

"You're stupid. We are already in our junior year. Everyone is working on the set. I am a popular star. I don't go to filming to take notices, but I play basketball with you in school? Men may not think so much. After all, I am beautiful. . But girls have a lot of fun, really. I will stand next to you, even if they don’t admit it, they will think that we have a story. That’s enough! Hum hum..."

"I still want to play basketball!?"

Xu Xin was a little sluggish.

"Yes, you are so handsome when you play basketball, why don't you show off your skills?"

Looking at my girlfriend who takes it for granted.

Xu Xin thought for a while and nodded:

"Well... okay, I'll buy a pair of overalls later."

"...???"
