I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 467 465. Ice-cold red wine

This dish tastes pretty good.

At least it tastes pretty good in Li Hao.

However... I have a small problem with all Modu dishes, the soy sauce tastes a bit strong.

As for what Uncle Xu and Liang Binning talked about, he didn't listen.

If it's a social event or something like that, and he's there, you have to pay careful attention.

But Uncle Xu said that this was a friendly game, so he simply stopped wearing his ears.

If the left ear is heard and the right ear is numb, just pretend that you can't hear anything.

What's more... Liang Binning is leading the topic on the court now.

"Now what Brother Mu has initially decided for me is to create a "ye" character. It is a tone of a big woman and a strong woman. It means that in the next two years, I will give the audience an independent female character. Fans no longer just face Male fans and female fans must also start to absorb it... After all, the purchasing power of the female-dominated consumer market is also very strong..."

"Oh, that sounds great."

Xu Daqiang nodded while eating vegetables and drinking tea.

But when Liang Binning saw his nodding attitude, she was speechless:

"Mr. Xu, why do I smell a hint of perfunctoryness?"

"Perfunctory?"

Xu Daqiang smiled:

"You're just perfunctory. You're talking to me about this, but I don't understand it, so why don't you express your opinions rashly?"

After hearing this, Liang Binning thought for a while and asked:

"Then...how do you feel? After hearing these words, does Mr. Xu feel anything? It's the kind that comes from the heart."

"From the heart?"

"Yes. From the heart!"

Liang Binning actually wanted to hear what he was thinking.

After all, Mr. Xu has eaten and seen a lot.

Faced with this problem, Xu Daqiang shrugged and acted casually:

"This is actually just one idea... I've been wanting to ask you this since you started talking about your career just now. If you do this, will you not get married?"

"Well……"

Seeing Liang Bingning's stunned look, Xu Daqiang showed a hint of helplessness:

"Oh... So, why don't you think about what I said to you before? It's not that women are not allowed to have a career. I understand that you are career-minded, but wow... you are getting bigger and bigger, and you are easy to find. What a man? That old saying goes well: if a woman is in charge of the house, the house will collapse. It’s not that you don’t know how to run a household, but if you really start your career, how will you find a man?”

Liang Binning was speechless:

"I've started my career and made money, so why can't I find Han... a boyfriend?"

"It's not a boyfriend, it's a man...husband. Don't you want to get married?"

"Yes I do."

"Really? If you are like Sanjin and Mimi, get married first, and then the two of you continue to be busy with their careers, that's easy to say. But you have done this by yourself, do you think you can find someone else? Do you just Can you find someone who makes more money than you and is better than you?"

"no……"

Hearing this, Liang Binning quickly shook her head:

"I... don't choose anyone. I have money myself. When I get married... shouldn't I spend it with my husband? I have no requirements for him, as long as he gets along. My requirements are very low..."

"How low?"

"Well……"

Liang Bingning thought for a while and said with a sense of humor:

"Male~live~...hehehehe."

"..."

This time it was Xu Daqiang's turn to be speechless.

"You're a melon girl..."

As he spoke, he shook his head helplessly:

"I told you last time I saw you. Money is just a number..."

"I have to stand on your level to say this, but I don't dare."

"What's the height?"

Xu Daqiang became more and more speechless, picked up the cigarette on the table, smoked it, and pointed behind him towards Li Hao.

Li Hao, who was eating, got up directly, walked behind the main seat where Uncle Xu was sitting, and opened the window half way.

When Liang Bingning saw him taking out two, she subconsciously reached out.

Xu Daqiang rolled his eyes, handed the other one to Li Hao, and continued as if he hadn't seen her move:

"There's not much money in the beginning. You can't earn all this money in a year or two. I told you last time that you first find a man and give yourself a home with a place to shelter from the wind and rain. That home is What? Home is just the rope tied around your waist when you are floating outside. I know you want to make money, but you can’t live just relying on money in this life... If you don’t look for it now, you will wait until you make money. Do you think you can still find Sa? You are old, and people still want you to be young and beautiful? Is that right? You are saying..."

Lighting a cigarette for himself, he shook his head helplessly:

"Two people fighting are always more powerful than one. No matter how powerful you are as a woman, there will be times when you can't. When you are tired or tired, there is still someone you can rely on, right?...Besides, what about finding a man? I'm sure I'm looking for someone who's in love with me, so how can I ask for something so low? Just be a man and live... This is called asking for things."

It's not preachy, but this conversation was similar to the one they had when they first met at Xiying Studio. Liang Binning also knew that Mr. Xu's words came from the bottom of his heart.

It’s just... every family has its own sutras that are difficult to recite. How can some things be so easy?

Her current circle is basically solidified.

Looking for someone in the circle?

Don't be ridiculous, let's not talk about whether others will like to see themselves in the eyes of "Liang Bingning's husband" in everything.

Just talking about the chaos in this circle...

Do you really think everyone is your son?

Is it true that you are a gentleman who can sit still in your arms?

If you look at today's young people who are so top-notch...how many of them can withstand the temptation?

To put it bluntly, her current evaluation of herself in the industry is that for those who are not as famous as herself, she is like a chicken that can lay golden eggs.

Whoever can hold it can fly.

This is not narcissism, this is fact.

She knows her own virtue. If she really falls in love, she is actually very blind.

Unless the motives were impure from the beginning, it felt right. As long as the other party didn't let her give up her career...then she could dig out her brain and give it to him.

And what about those outside the circle?

Looking for an ordinary person? Play the drama of online dating between ordinary people and big stars from some novel?

Don't.

Novels are just novels. Although some realities are worse than novels, she really can't find them for ordinary people.

Instead of looking for ordinary people, how about looking for some successful people?

Let's not talk about whether you dislike others or not. It's still a matter of debate whether others can take a fancy to you.

If you invest your feelings and end up with wishful thinking... it will be a lot of fun just thinking about it.

So, unrealistic.

She couldn't be strict about what kind of partner she wanted to find.

All I can say is...wait.

Wait for fate to come.

Wait for the wind to rise.

Waiting to meet.

But she had to admit...

Mr. Xu's words sounded much more interesting this time than last time.

Last time, it was more awkward.

But this time, after getting along with each other, I treated him with a normal heart and felt the care from my friends.

It worked for her.

Because... at least during this meal, there was someone who cared about me and brought me a little warmth.

Thinking of this, her eyebrows softened.

…

"Here we go...the food tastes good today. Oh, by the way, I don't want to lose my temper and disturb my good mood at night."

Xu Daqiang waved his hand and took Li Hao out of the box first.

Go, walk separately.

This is good for four people.

Xu Daqiang and Li Hao left first, while Liang Binning and Wang Dongying planned to sit in the room for a while.

Who knows if there are reporters outside, what if there is some news about "Liang Binning secretly meeting a certain man late at night"... It doesn't matter if others see her, but if she is recognized by Mimi and Xu Xin, then she will be really shameless. Appeared in front of the two of them.

After the two of them left, Liang Binning looked at her assistant with a slightly cold look:

"What happened to you today?"

"Yes... I'm sorry, sister."

Wang Dongying lowered her head with a sigh.

Seeing the way she apologized and admitted her mistake, Liang Binning wanted to say something else...but Mr. Xu's words rang in her ears again.

"..."

never mind.

She shook her head helplessly:

"Be careful in the future. Today is Mr. Xu. What if it were someone else? Why do you laugh at others?"

"...I know, sister, I will definitely not do it next time."

Liang Binning didn't respond, she just lowered her head and started playing with her phone.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, she stood up and said:

"Let's go."

Wang Dongying nodded quickly and carried the red wine out of the room together.

Get in the car and go home.

She has actually invested in quite a lot of real estate in Shanghai over the past few years. However, she lives most often in Xuhui Garden in Xuhui.

She bought this house a long time ago. It was in the second phase. The area of ​​the house was actually not large, only 140 square meters.

The second phase of Xuhuiyuan was paid for in 2003. I made full payment directly after making money at that time.

It's not that she can't afford something better. In fact, she just bought a villa at the end of last year in the Gubei Villa No. 1 area, which is currently under construction.

The opening price is RMB 100 million for a residence of more than 800 square meters.

It's not that she has no money, it's just that all her money is invested.

This villa worth more than 100 million yuan will be her future place to settle down in the Magic City. But among the other houses, she didn't choose too many luxury houses.

On the contrary, she chose houses of more than 100 square meters.

And there are many sets.

Apart from living in it, everything else is used for investment.

Since the Olympic Games, the real estate market has been booming in the past few years, as well as the same housing prices in Shanghai that year, which directly proves that her investment vision is correct.

The next ten years must belong to the real estate industry.

So... if you count it based on the number of properties alone... there may not be many people in the entertainment industry more than her.

What's more, although Xuhuiyuan is not on the Huangpu River, it is not far away. The people living here are also the first batch of people who became rich in the Magic City. In addition to the fact that there is no separation of people and vehicles on the community grounds, Xuhuiyuan, which has been awarded the title of National Civilized Property Unit and the Advanced Management Community of Magic City many times, is not just any community.

The car came to the parking space and parked.

After Liang Binning got out of the car, Wang Dongying quickly asked:

"Sister, what should I do with these two bottles of wine?"

Liang Binning thought for a while and took it:

"give it to me."

After all, they are two bottles of Mouton, which is more than 10,000 yuan per bottle.

Not drinking is a waste.

Then, she walked into the corridor without looking back.

Get in the elevator, go home, turn on the lights.

Among the luxurious French-style decorated rooms, the most eye-catching thing is actually the huge renovated glass window and the lounge chair in front of the glass window.

She threw her bag on the sofa and walked into the bedroom.

Almost an hour later, she put on a set of pajamas and walked out with the mask still on her face.

Turn on the TV and turn the sound down.

Carrying the wine bottle and goblet, she came to the lounge chair on the window sill.

Skillfully opening and pouring the wine, she poured herself a full glass without even having any snacks.

Drinking by yourself doesn’t require so much ritual.

With the wine method, just pouring the wine is troublesome enough.

Leaning against the goblet and looking at the busy traffic below, she raised her head and took a big gulp.

Only then could she vaguely see the heroic spirit of a Shandong native drinking wine.

Drinking red wine is a habit.

I first heard that the tannins in it are good for the body.

Over time, it becomes a habit.

If you don't have a drink before going to bed, you won't have a good night's sleep.

Who says celebrities don't have pressure?

Their pressure is sometimes greater than that of ordinary people.

Of course, this is a bit hypocritical. But sometimes the source of stress is not just life.

There are various aspects.

If she doesn't drink...she doesn't have a boyfriend, and there isn't even anyone around her who can come into her house to talk.

Besides pouring myself a drink, what else can I do?

She doesn't have many friends.

This is the truth.

Putting aside those people who are just trying to make fun of themselves... Along the way, she has given up too many things for the sake of fame and fame.

But I'm used to it.

After a big gulp of wine, I made up for some of the wine I missed at dinner.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

I don't care at all what's on TV.

Turning on the TV is just to make the house less deserted.

On the small table with red wine, there was also half a pack of mint-flavored Marlboros.

Next to the ashtray, there is also something that looks very delicate...a bit like an earring.

This thing is called a cigarette clip.

It sounds like an antique.

It was a French product. She probably bought it for less than 15,000 when she went to an antique store in Xiangjiang.

The cigarette holder is only silver and worthless. What's valuable is the old turquoise inlaid on it.

This thing can hold the cigarette, and then the other side can be put on the finger like a ring. This can prevent the smell of smoke from being stained on the finger and prevent the finger from yellowing.

She put the cigarette in with familiarity, put it on her hand and lit it.

The aroma of mint and tobacco and the aftertaste of red wine added a bit of melancholy to this quiet night.

"call……"

Exhaling a puff of smoke, he picked up the red wine and took a long sip.

Only then did she pick up the phone.

Fiddle with this, fiddle with that.

Soon, the cigarette was half-burned.

She opened Weibo.

Not only did Yang Mi have a trumpet, she also had one.

The popularity of Weibo has attracted more and more people's attention to this blank market.

The battle between Tencent Weibo and Sina Weibo is inextricably linked.

But she still likes to use Sina Weibo.

I can’t say why, but it might be easier.

Log in to the trumpet, and there are more than a hundred accounts following her trumpet.

Those with relatives, friends, funny ones, entertainment gossips...it's all there.

As soon as you refresh it, the entire day's Weibo posts will be listed in chronological order.

The first Weibo post was posted seventeen minutes ago by a "plateau man" with a picture of Hukou Waterfall.

"The view is nice, haha."

There is also a photo accompanying it.

At first glance, the photo was taken while lying down with a mobile phone, and the hair on both legs is still clearly visible.

The shooting location should be the balcony.

Legs, red wine by the table, a bag of peanuts fried in sand, which people here don't eat very much in Shanghai, and the lights of the Huangpu River that are particularly conspicuous in the darkness.

"..."

Suddenly, she was speechless.

You didn't drink at the dinner table just now, and now you drink when you get home?

What does it mean?

Is it embarrassing to drink with me?

There is also a comment under this Weibo.

ID: Mr. Fox.

The avatar is a very cute cartoon fox.

"You should pay more attention to your health, be careful of catching a cold, and don't catch a cold. I checked the weather in Shanghai, and it's not too warm."

"laugh."

Seeing this comment, Liang Binning sneered.

It's another little girl who doesn't know where she came from.

Thinking that some sweet words that seem to be caring can capture the heart of a middle-aged rich man.

Is it useful?

Looking at the "good" reply given by the plateau man under this comment, she shook her head and continued to scroll down.

But as I was flipping through it, I suddenly pulled Weibo to the top.

I clicked on this Weibo again, and then clicked on the avatar of "Mr. Fox".

Mr. Fox basically doesn’t post on Weibo.

But she is really active.

Either like some funny animal videos, or forward some breastfeeding experiences of mothers and infants.

Isn’t it just a Weibo comment sent to Mr. Xu?

Liang Binning suddenly twitched the corner of her mouth...

What does it mean?

Are you already a mother?

Are you still hooking up with Mr. Xu here?

This... Mr. Xu, this...

Are you so hungry?

Mr. Fox, are you fair to your husband?

Once you're married, can't you live a good life with your husband?

What are you doing hooking up with a middle-aged widower?

Pooh!

shameless!

…

"Ah sneeze!"

After returning from filming, Yang Mi was rubbing her nose with a cattail leaf fan in the courtyard of Guangdong, where she was fanning two sleeping dolls covered with pillows.

what's the situation?

Caught a cold?

No, let’s take the two children back to the bedroom to sleep.

She got up and pushed the cart back to the house.

…

After Liang Binning despised this mother who was not living a good life, she was speechless again when she saw the plateau man's Weibo.

After thinking about it, she quit Weibo on her phone and came to the phone interface.

But looking at the name "Mr. Xu" stored on the phone, I suddenly felt a little hesitant.

But he didn't hesitate for long.

Don't we still have to ask what time we will meet with the people from the foundation tomorrow?

then……

"Dudu... hello? What's wrong?"

"Mr. Xu is drinking?"

Liang Binning held up the phone and smiled.

"...Another bit of exposure on Weibo?"

Xu Daqiang was also speechless.

"Haha, it's inevitable. I just got home and saw Mr. Xu's Weibo, so I called to ask. By coincidence, I was also drinking... Mr. Xu."

"ah?"

"Why bother? If you really want to drink it, we opened the wine just now. Just drink it slowly and chat. I saw in the photo that you even got a bag of peanuts? Isn't it boring to drink alone?"

"It's boring. You are Sanjin and Miimi's friends, and you are the elder. It doesn't look good to go out and drink with Niwadi's friends."

"..."

As soon as Xu Daqiang said these words, Liang Binning was stunned.

I couldn't help but ask:

"Friends of Mimi and Sanjin?"

"Ang. Otherwise? Or Sa?"

"..."

Xu Daqiang's words made Liang Binning speechless again.

But after being speechless, she clearly grasped the meaning of the other person's words.

Just like when I met Mr. Xu for the first time at Xiying Studio.

The other party’s expression of “it’s better not to see you”.

One sentence hit her right in the heart.

Maybe it's the red wine that I haven't had a few sips of, or maybe there's something that I've been holding in my heart for a long time.

Today I finally got a channel to vent.

"Xu always wanted to tell me...what's in the past is in the past, right?"

"Well……"

On the other end of the phone, Xu Daqiang lit a cigarette as he was minding his own business.

"Bingbing."

What was rare was that he no longer used "you" to call Liang Bingning, but changed it to a name... from a long, long time ago.

"Do you still remember what you said?"

"……What?"

"Two hundred thousand. In the past, Liang Binning was only worth 200,000. From today on, I will become more valuable than anyone else."

"..."

Liang Bingning on the other side of the phone was silent.

Silently, he picked up the glass of red wine.

Drink it all in one gulp.

"Gurgling... Huh..."

"...are you drinking too?"

"Um."

Liang Bingning responded, holding the phone around her neck, pouring the remaining half bottle of red wine into the cup, and said with a smile:

"I should have known better than to make this call to Mr. Xu. Usually a bottle of red wine is enough, but today I am afraid I will need two bottles."

"...Why are you drinking so much?"

"I'm not like Mr. Xu, who still has a bag of peanuts on hand. If I don't... I can only rely on the past to drink."

She stood up with a smile, went to get the second bottle of red wine, and said with a smile:

"Mr. Xu, don't you want to have a drink with me?"

"hehe."

Xu Daqiang's laughter rang out.

Then, she heard a bump on the phone.

That was the response given by someone 12.1 kilometers away from her and 7 traffic lights away.

Returning to the lounge chair with a bottle of red wine, Liang Binning replaced the burned out cigarette.

After ordering another one for myself, while breathing, I looked at the night view outside the window and asked:

"I thought...Mr. Xu had forgotten it a long time ago. I even forgot that I said this...I didn't expect Mr. Xu to still remember it."

"My memory is better...but I'm older now. I'm so old. I can't even remember what I just said."

"Nonsense, Mr. Xu is ageless and charming."

Quan Dang didn't understand Xu Daqiang's meaning of "this topic has been revealed", there was some...inexplicable meaning in her tone:

"Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to post a post on Weibo and someone would reply immediately."

"……ah?"

Xu Daqiang was stunned...

"Has anyone replied to this?...Wait, let's take a look."

A few seconds later...

"Ah, what time is it now, why doesn't she go to bed..."

"..."

Liang Bingning's mouth twitched.

"Look, that's what I said. Mr. Xu's memory is really good~ You can tell who left it at a glance."

"This is not nonsense...this is MiMiDi Weibo. Sanjin just told me today."

"Pfft... cough cough cough cough cough..."

Liang Bingning took a puff of cigarette smoke and choked it in her lungs, then started coughing violently.

"very!???"

She was so surprised that she said something in northern Shaanxi dialect:

"Is that Mimi?"

"That's right, this is Kitsune-kun. Oh my, why would you give me a Japanese name... return me to you, Jun-chan? I guess you can just call me Tai-kun."

"Hahahaha~"

In front of the quiet floor-to-ceiling window, the bright smile of the woman whose mask fell off was revealed under the moonlight.

Mimi, I'm sorry, this time it was my heart.

She laughed and threw the mask that fell on her pajamas onto the table.

"Mr. Xu."

"Um?"

"Then... let's just have two drinks, right? I just opened the second bottle."

She extended the invitation.

On the other side, after the "embarrassment" of meeting was gone, Xu Daqiang did not refuse:

"Haha, okay. But you have to agree, you can drink as much as you say... but you can't avoid drinking and be cunning?"

"Hey, don't worry, I'm sure it won't happen!"

She responded brightly.
