The Cannon Fodder Strikes Back - Chapter 40
The costume drama, which has been filming for a whole month, finally came to an end. Because the producer had sold the screening rights long ago, the TV station arranged the current period early, and the drama will be released as soon as the filming is over.
This costume drama is actually not a big investment. Except for the actor who hired the popular niche Sun Ye, the others are all newcomers, but because the plot is **** enough and the pictures are poignant enough, it can be said to be a small fire.
However, Yunjinshu, who plays the second role of Cannon Fodder, has unexpectedly been popular among many female audiences. After all, women’s motherhood is often overflowing. Every time I see the second generation struggling with the hatred of the home country and the love of his children, I can’t help it. She shed a few tears.
Especially in the penultimate episode, Zixu was captured by Liao on the battlefield. He witnessed her beloved Qian Rong marrying the emperor of Liao as a queen. She resolutely killed herself and used her own blood to consolidate Qian Rong’s position and present it to her beloved. The last gift.
When the blood stained the snow-white robe, the ratings suddenly soared by a full percentage point, making the producer too happy.
With the popularity of TV series, Yunjinshu’s popularity has also risen. He has received olive branches from several major brand manufacturers, and his work has become more and more busy.
It was not until Zhao Hanchuan called on the last day of the month that he realized that he had forgotten a very important thing.
“Hello? Hello, Jin Shu, are you listening? Hello?”
Zhao Hanchuan asked several times on the phone, before Yun Jinshu came back to his senses, and quickly smiled and said, “I’m sorry, I’m a bit distracted, if it weren’t for you to remind me that tomorrow is the 60th birthday of Mr. Wen. “
Zhao Hanchuan sighed and frowned, “Don’t pretend you too. To be honest, don’t you want to go tomorrow?”
Yun Jinshu smiled, and finally gave a “um”.
“I think it’s superfluous to go to myself. In terms of seniority, there are so many Xinghui artists. It’s not my turn to celebrate birthdays to political and business people. In terms of friendship, I don’t even want to see Wen Zeyun’s face, you say. What does it mean to go?”
“Do you think I want you to go?” Zhao Hanchuan raised his voice irritably on that end, “If it weren’t for Li Ke who didn’t discuss with me after he made the list, he would give the gift list to the Wen family, and we don’t need to bother now.”
“Wen Zeyun doesn’t know that you are going. Now the gift list has been delivered. If you don’t go tomorrow, he will definitely think that you are the cause of the video. Now it is a guilty conscience. We have to go if we don’t. “
Zhao Hanchuan rubbed his hair violently, but Yun Jinshu laughed first, “Brother Zhao, I understand. I will go tomorrow. Don’t worry about my business anymore. You are right. If I were No, Wen Zeyun really thought I was afraid of him.”
“Oh…” Zhao Hanchuan sighed helplessly and continued, “You don’t have to worry about gifts or anything. I have put them in your mailbox, so you can go straight downstairs. I guess I will be very busy tomorrow, I don’t have time. I’m here to pick you up. I will send you the address in a text message later.”
Yun Jinshu nodded, “I know, I promise to be there on time.”
Zhao Hanchuan gave a hum, and then exhorted a few words uneasy, “Jin Shu, my right eyelid is jumping right now. If you don’t have me with you tomorrow, you must be careful to protect yourself.”
Yun Jinshu laughed out loud, “Don’t worry, Aunt Zhao, I will. The peach blossom blooms in the left eye, and the chrysanthemum blooms in the right eye. It is you who should be careful.”
“piss off!”
“Hahahaha…”
I don’t know where Han Jiang got the news. When Yun Jinshu went downstairs in a white tuxedo, he happened to see him standing next to the black lotus car at the door of his house.
At the moment when he saw him, Han Jiang’s eyes brightened, and then he waved his hand and greeted him, “Jin Shu, here.”
Yun Jinshu’s face became stiff, but he couldn’t walk over without pretending to be invisible. This is the first time the two met since they were separated in the same room that day. Although Han Jiang had made appointments with him many times during the period, and even went to the studio to visit the class, they were cleverly avoided by Yun Jinshu for various reasons. Now, when I met him, I could only curl up the corners of my mouth and smiled and said, “Boss Han, it’s been a long time since I saw you, your cold should be cured.”
Han Jiang couldn’t help laughing, thinking that it took so long to ask such a thing, and he didn’t know if he was intentional or unintentional.
Shrugging his shoulders indifferently, he raised his eyebrows and said jokingly, “Thanks to your hot bed, I will be fine the next day.”
The irony cannot be countered by the general’s Yun Jinshu, he couldn’t help but roll his eyes in his heart, but he pretended that he didn’t understand anything, and said with a smile, “Well, that’s the best, I’ll do it for you. Thank you for your compliment on my bed.”
“Boss Han, I have something to work on. If you have nothing else, I will leave first.”
Speaking of him, he nodded humbly, took the neatly wrapped present Zhao Hanchuan gave him, and turned around to leave, but Han Jiang stopped him behind him, and said with a faint smile, “Probably the two of us The next thing to do is the same, but you plan to just walk like this?”
Of course, Yun Jinshu understands what he said. Han Jiang is wearing a black dress with a bow tie at the neckline. He knows that he is also going to attend Master Wen’s birthday banquet. It’s just that the thought of two people on the way will have to spend a lot of words. Can speak, “Young Master Han probably doesn’t know that there is something called a taxi in this world.”
Han Jiang smiled even more, “Well, then you can take a taxi. As far as I know, the surrounding area where we are going is already under traffic control. Except for specially marked cars, other cars are not allowed to pass.”
“Oh, by the way, as long as you are not afraid of your face being recognized by fans, you can take the subway and buses. By then, you will probably suffer in a white dress.”
Han Jiang rarely made jokes on others like this, but he missed Yunjin’s bookish stare and raised eyebrows so much that he couldn’t control his mouth for a while.
Sure enough, Yun Jinshu turned his head and glanced at him very displeasedly, his delicate eyebrows raised Gao, obviously angry.
He sneered, and couldn’t help cursing “Guguan” in his heart, and then faintly said: “Thank you for your kindness, Boss Han, I think I have not lost my legs, so I can walk over by myself.”
Han Jiang raised his wrist to look, and pretended to say, “Well, it’s 6:40 p.m. Beijing time. You have 20 minutes to go, otherwise you will be late.”
Damn it!
Yun Jinshu cursed silently in his heart. It takes at least an hour to walk from his apartment to the hotel. As a third-rate artist like him, if he is late, it will not only prevent the boss Li Ke from coming to Taiwan, but also Directly offend the Wen family.
Now, it’s not time for him to face the Wen team head-on.
He cursed a few words secretly in his heart, Yun Jinshu walked to the black lotus, pulled the car door and sat in, without saying a word during this period.
Han Jiang smiled and shook his head, then opened the door and sat in. He thought that it might not be a good start to have such a conversation with Yun Jinshu.
It’s a pity that he didn’t know the moment he stepped on the accelerator, and what happened after that was enough to make him regret it for a lifetime…
——
The 60th birthday of the Wen family should be a grand and festive celebration.
The top floor of the House Hotel has all been wrapped up, and the birthday banquet is really as perfect and boring as everyone imagined. From the moment you walk up the stairs, the whole corridor has been decorated with flowers on both sides, and red silk is wrapped around it. The word “Shou” is printed on it with gold embroidery thread.
Go to the top floor and push open the door of the banquet. What you see is the huge red curtain in the center, with rows of colored Shoushan stones on both sides, and a two-meter-long landscape painting in the middle. The strong pine, plum and bamboo are surrounded by mountains and rivers. From a distance, it happens to form the four characters “Longevity without Borders”.
The banquet adopts a combination of Chinese and Western styles. Except for the traditional Chinese food on the octagonal table under the red curtain, all others are in the form of a buffet. The hall is full of guests, gentlemen and ladies are talking and laughing, and the clothes are fragrant and the shadows are intoxicated.
After Yunjinshu put the gift at the front desk, the beautiful concierge greeted him sweetly, “Sir, please show me your invitation, and then sign your name on one side of the cardboard.”
Yun Jinshu was about to dig out his pockets, but Han Jiang next to him stopped his movements, smiled at the lady and said, “He is my friend, so don’t have to do this.”
The welcoming lady in this five-star hotel has long been an adult, how could she not know Han Jiang, so she smiled at the two people and stepped aside.
Yun Jinshu felt a little uncomfortable. He glanced at Han Jiang, took out the invitation from his pocket, put it aside, and carefully signed his name before walking inside.
Han Jiang smiled helplessly and followed, and asked him, “These are all fools, why should you be more serious.”
“I’m not true, but I don’t want others to think that I was invited because of you, Master Han.” Yun Jinshu said in a straightforward manner, ignoring Han Jiang, who was standing on the side, and walked in. Han Jiang couldn’t laugh or cry. Just trying to keep up, he was suddenly surrounded by a group of officials who slid their beards and slapped their horses.
Yunjinshu took the opportunity to walk two steps quickly, but the more he walked in, the more awkward he felt. This is not the first time he has seen this kind of scene. In his previous life, when he was popular, he often went to various cocktail parties with the company, but this was indeed the first time he participated in a banquet with political circles.
Needless to say, the celebrity in the eyes is just a few dozen officials who are often seen on News X. It is really embarrassing for him to be a third-rate star here.
Taking a glass of champagne from the plate held by the waiter, he wandered aimlessly around the banquet, not far from being surrounded by a group of officials and big stars. He didn’t know what kind of powerful person stood by, anyone passing by. They all leaned forward to say hello with a flattering smile.
He had no interest. He drank a few sips of champagne, and looked around but couldn’t find Zhao Hanchuan’s shadow. When he was trying to find a place to hide, Han Jiang suddenly hugged his shoulder from behind.
He was startled, and when he looked back and saw Han Jiang’s face, he became even more angry, “If you don’t want to be official with others, why do you come to me again?”
Han Jiang laughed, his gentle eyebrows stretched out, and he quietly squeezed his hand while others were not paying attention, “Those people said they were just the same thing. I was annoyed by listening, but you just ran away in a blink of an eye. Yes, of course I have to chase it over.”
Yun Jinshu stepped back a few steps away from him, glanced at the audience, did not see today’s protagonist, “Why don’t you go to Wen Zeyun?”
Han Jiang’s face became stiff, and then he smiled relievedly, “Wen’s birthday banquet will definitely appear when he should be on stage, so why should I worry about it?”
As he said, he grabbed Yunjinshu’s wrist and gently took the glass of champagne from his hand, “I think you don’t look good, so don’t drink champagne anymore. I’ll take you to find something else to eat.” “
Before Yunjinshu could react, the person was already being dragged away by others. As a result, the group of people not far away surrounded by layers suddenly dispersed. Among the crowd, stood a middle-aged man with a hard face and a cold face. Man, he was chatting with a bank president, he glanced here and waved his hand with a smile, and walked towards Yun Jinshu and Han Jiang.
This person has a pair of eagle-like eyes. Although they look gentle and accessible, the flashing light in the eyes makes people feel a little uncomfortable. The person he is staring at has a feeling of being scrutinized all the time.
This person came over, followed by a large group of people. He smiled and raised a toast, “Han Jiang, are you chatting with a friend?”
Han Jiang’s face instantly cooled down, and his smile was cleaned up. He nodded and called out, “Father.”
Yun Jinshu raised his head in astonishment, the man raised his eyebrows and glanced at him with deep eyes. Although the sense of superiority and aggression that had been in the upper ranks for a long time was well concealed, it could still be felt.
“Han Zhongtian.” He smiled at Yunjinshu and stretched out a hand, “I don’t know what the little brother is called?”
