"My ability is average, but my attitude is okay."
Tan Yazuo smiled calmly and said, "She's a newcomer and has only been in the industry for a short time, lacking experience. If there's anything she didn't do well, just tell me and I'll teach her later."
"Let's wait until the shooting is over. We'll still need her now." "
Tan Yazhuo sat for a while longer. He Cheng looked at her and said, "What's wrong? Do you still have something to say?"
I'm a bit curious. Your family is so well-off and you're not short of money. How could a family like the He family let you go into this line of work? He doesn't seem like someone who loves performing either.
He Cheng said, "It's just to kill time. No matter what line of work you do, it's not about doing it." He didn't want to bring up the family affairs and his eyes turned a little cold. He changed the subject and said, "I have no plans for tonight. I'll go out for a meeting and come back to the group tomorrow morning."
He Cheng is different from the new employees of the same type in the company. He has a backer and is supported by a benefactor. Tan Yazhuo is very considerate and dares not treat him in the same way as other new employees. He is not a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old. He has some social experience. Besides, he is backed by the He family and is not easy to offend.
Tan Yazhuo just said a few words, "Don't be too flamboyant," and agreed.
Before Tan Yazhuo left, she said to A Zhou again, "You are He Cheng's assistant. He Cheng will become popular in the future. If you follow him, you will have a good life. There are some rules in the industry that you should understand. You shouldn't reveal them to outsiders. Not a single word can be said." If it gets out and affects an artist's future, you won't be able to do this job anymore. No one would want a servant who betrays his master.
He Cheng has a particularly promising future, and Tan Yazhuo won't make a mistake in his judgment.
Ah Zhou nodded timidly and promised not to say a single word about He Cheng to anyone else.
...
Xin Gan had dinner at home in the evening, and her father was also at home. She couldn't avoid being questioned by his father about her work.
Xin's father hopes that she will have her own job. Even if the family can support her and doesn't lack her salary, no matter what, when she lives with Cheng Jiu in the future, she should have a job of her own to have a source of income.
She is not good at managing a company. Xin's father has no intention of entrusting the company to her. Cheng Jiu is probably not capable either. Cheng Jiu is a public official and cannot do business. Therefore, Xin's father has other plans.
Xin Gan thought for a moment and said, "I'll look for a job."
You need to think carefully about what type of job you want and your job search direction. You can't do the same as the last time you went to your brother-in-law's company.
Xin Gan said, "I want to open my own studio and paint."
"Painting is very hard work and requires a huge initial investment. Have you made up your mind?" " Xin's father thought she was going to open a studio and head in the direction of an art exhibition.
"Open a studio to teach students to draw. I've saved some money, which is enough to open a studio." "
Where does that drive? For which students?
"Art students, like those in Grade 10 and Grade 11." She has some classmates who have returned to China and are also in this line of work. You can learn from them and ask for advice. Her skills are not bad and she is capable of teaching high school students. "The location hasn't been decided yet. It might be near the school, which would also be convenient for students to go to and from class."
Mother Xin also thought it feasible.
Xin's father was quite supportive. After the meal, he went to help her contact any places near the school that were suitable for opening an art studio.
Xin Gan was not familiar with the domestic market situation and had to make up for a lot of things at the last minute, including the initial location for renting a studio, the size needed, teaching equipment, and teaching content. She also needed to make a statistics on the content of the domestic art student joint entrance examination in previous years, as well as the categories and directions of the high school entrance examination. All these needed to be understood one by one.
As for Cheng Jiu, he was about to return to Beiyu soon. Xin Gan was worried that his injuries hadn't healed yet. After thinking for a while, she still called him and asked, "Are you sure when you'll leave?"
Cheng Jiu said, "We'll leave tomorrow afternoon."
Xin Gan bit her lip and said, "So soon?"
There's nothing he can do about it. He'll have to go back sooner or later. He can't be too attached to her tender home.
He still has important matters to deal with.
Cheng Jiu: "Will you come and see me off?"
"Um." It was past ten o 'clock at night. Xin Gan was standing in the yard talking to him on the phone. The wind was cool and chilly at night. She couldn't help but recall the scene by the lake near his place, and her ears felt hot.
Cheng Jiu didn't say any sweet words either. It was very simple: "Don't stay up late. Go to sleep quickly. I'll come to see you tomorrow."
Ok. Good night.
How could she fall asleep at around ten o 'clock?
Besides, he is going back to Beiyu Island tomorrow.
Cheng's father also understood the nature of his work and expressed his comprehension.
It was just that Mrs. Cheng was rather worried, fearing that something bad might happen to him again, and was sad all night.
Cheng Hui was at school and didn't know that Cheng Jiu was leaving again.
At noon the next day, Xin Gan went to his home.
Cheng Jiu was quite surprised. His eyes lit up the moment he saw her. He didn't expect her to come so early. In the next second, he led her into the room.
Mrs. Cheng was not in the living room at the moment. Cheng Jiu calmly held her hand and went back to his room, his room.
Xin Gan was entering his room for the first time. The decoration was very simple. The walls were white, the floor was grey, and the bed sheets were all grey. Everywhere exuded a minimalist style. There is a bedside table by the bed, on which there are models of aircraft and cannons. It's obvious that it's a boy's room.
Cheng Jiu closed the door and said, "Let's sit for a while and enjoy the air conditioning."
It was very hot outside. She came by car. After getting off at the station and basking in the sun for just a few minutes, she broke out in a sweat.
On the ground, there was a suitcase, inside which were several pieces of clothes that hadn't been folded yet.
Cheng Jiu entered the bathroom. Xin Gan thought for a moment, bent down and squatted down, then took the clothes and folded them for him.
When Cheng Jiu came out again, Xin Gan had already folded his clothes and was sitting on the chair, not daring to sit by his bedside.
At this moment when the two of us are alone, Xin Gan feels an indescribable sense of tension.
It's still in his room.
She asked, "Isn't Auntie at home?"
I didn't even see Mrs. Cheng here when I first came up.
Cheng Jiu wiped her hands with a wet towel and said, "You need to change your words."
Xin Gan blushed and felt rather embarrassed.
Fortunately, Cheng Jiu didn't make things difficult for her. He said, "She's on the phone in the study. Are you thirsty?"
"Not thirsty."
Cheng Jiu crouched down in front of her, slightly lower than her by half a head. She was sitting high up, and it was rare for her to look down at him once. This feeling was quite different.
Why didn't you wait for me to pick you up? Come looking for me so soon?
Xin Gan hesitated but dared to look him in the eyes and said, "I want to see you."
This statement sounds more pleasant than anything else.
Cheng Jiu propped himself up with one hand on the empty space beside her thigh. The two were close together, in an intimate posture, with an indescribable warmth. He stared at her intently and said, "Me too."
Thinking that their next meeting would only be at the end of the year, Cheng Jiu was somewhat worried about her. Besides, he couldn't let her go back to Beiyu with him. If she lived there permanently, she wouldn't be able to handle that kind of environment.
Besides, over there, all she could see was yellow sand and soil. If she went there, she would only suffer.
He couldn't bear to see her suffer with him.
Xin Gan rarely showed a smile.
Cheng Jiu didn't think much of it. He reached out and grabbed the back of her neck, pressing it against himself.
Without hesitation, I kissed it.
...
There wasn't much time left for them to spend together. Xin Gan helped him pack up his clothes and accompanied him to the airport.
Mrs. Cheng also went. On the way, she comforted Xin Gan, saying, "It's just half a year. Half a year will pass quickly. Just hold on a little longer."
Xin Gan understood and said, "Well, I understand."
There's no need to say more about it.
She supports his work and is willing to wait for him.
Before Cheng Jiu left, he didn't say much to her. He patted her head and then reminded her, "Don't stay up late. Eat more. You're too thin and it won't be comfortable to hold."
It's not that I dislike her for being thin; it's simply that I want her to take good care of herself.
It was almost time to go through the security check, and Cheng Jiu left with great strides, heading for another city that needed him.
Mrs. Cheng couldn't help shedding tears. Almost every time she saw Cheng Jiu off, she couldn't hold back her emotions.
Xin Gan comforted Mrs. Cheng. Mrs. Cheng adjusted her mood before patting the back of her hand and saying, "It's okay. I'm used to it. Let's go home."
...
Cheng Jiu returned to the team and immediately sought out Director Meng.
In Meng Shenchang's office, Meng Shenchang cursed loudly, threw cups all over the floor and said, "Didn't I tell you to take good care of your injuries?" How did you come back? You're trying to piss me off, aren't you?
"Once the injury is healed, I'll return to the team." "
"What's up? You almost lost your life. What a fart! Go back to the hospital and lie down with me right now!"
Meng Shanchang was his superior, and guan was much older than him. What Cheng Jiu said, Cheng Jiu had to listen to. But at this moment, Cheng Jiu wouldn't listen to anything. Standing there with his back straight, it was obvious that he was stubborn with him!
Meng Can was so angry that he wanted to smash the cup again, but found that the table was empty and one had already been smashed. The glass fragments were still lying on the ground. He walked back and forth in anger: "Good boy, just give me a decision to do it first and then report it. What did I tell you? I told you to recover before coming back. You just ran back directly."
Cheng Jiu, with a thick skin, pretended not to hear and said, "The team needs me. If they need me, I have to come back immediately."
Meng Shenchang ignored him, sat aside sulking, smoked for quite a while, raised his eyebrows and said, "Is that great?"
"All right."
Have you settled all the matters at home?
"Um."
Meng Canchang changed the subject and said with a smile, "Alright, you still have a hard life, kid. Since everything is fine now, just get to work. And..."
Cheng Jiu stood upright, looking straight ahead.
Meng Shenchang approached him, deliberately patted him on the shoulder and said: The case of the fish head has been dragging on for a long time. It's also because of him that we can't eat or sleep well. It's a minor issue that we can't eat or sleep well. But if we don't catch his men back and let them harm the innocent lao people, it will be adding insult to injury. Since you're back, don't blame me for being so ruthless.
Cheng Jiu had not yet finished speaking when he was suddenly slapped in the chest by Meng Shenchang. The pain was so intense that he gritted his teeth tightly and didn't utter a word.
There is also an injury on his chest, at the waist and ribs.
Meng Canchang smiled with satisfaction and said, "This is what Cheng Jiu is all about. Alright, go ahead and get busy."
