Handsome, boy?
When he first heard these two words, even He Panshan, who had seen strong winds and waves, was stunned for a moment. Usually those who dared to call themselves this were some old guys joking with each other, but now a little girl called him this in front of others. , this is really...
Before He Panshan could react, He Tianran was frightened to death and quickly explained:
"Dad... I was joking in the car when I came here. I lied to them and told them that calling you 'Pretty Boy' would make you happy. I didn't expect Wen Liang to take it seriously, hahahaha..."
He Tianran smiled dryly, filling the embarrassment index in the silent air...
He Panshan slowly turned his head, looked at his son with a serious face, and then slapped his shoulder hard with his hand.
"You are really my good son..."
The old man patted his son on the shoulder every time he said a word. He Tianran thought he was blaming himself for teaching his friends to make such a joke on such occasions. This was something He Tianran had been accustomed to doing since he was a child. After all, what his father was best at Just teach yourself in front of outsiders...
But this time, he thought wrong...
He Panshan suddenly grinned and said with a smile:
"Someone's little girl finally called me 'handsome'. I was happy for less than a second, and you immediately told me that you lied to them and you didn't mean it... Wow, I was so mad at you. You're such a rebellious boy, just looking for fun at your father's expense?"
"No! No, no...it's just a trick..."
Hearing that He Panshan couldn't help but speak Cantonese to impress himself, He Tianran understood and immediately denied it. In order to make others understand, he mixed Cantonese with Mandarin and said to everyone:
"I lie to you, but when they say you are a handsome boy, they definitely mean it. Do you think...is that true?"
At this time, everyone also reacted, nodding and saying in unison:
"Yes!"
"If Uncle He were the same age as me, even I would have to avoid his edge. Fortunately, I was born twenty years later!"
"Uncle He is very charming at his age! Now that he is acting, he is also a top uncle in the circle, right?"
There was an endless stream of compliments. He Panshan smiled broadly. It was quite interesting to play with the young people. He said to Wen Liang:
"Hey, Xiao Wen, please remember. Next time you call me 'handsome boy,' you must mean it sincerely. If you are fooled by little girls like you, my uncle will still be very hurt."
Wen Liang had already noticed that He Panshan was someone who could joke. After she regained her composure, she smiled sweetly:
"Ho! Nanshan handsome boy! I've always been sincere!"
The originally tense atmosphere was easily resolved by He Panshan, and He Tianran breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his father was in a good mood today, so he heard the old man continue to joke:
"By the way, Xiao Wen, where are you from? Can you speak the vernacular?"
"My hometown is Chongqing." Wen Liang first answered his place of origin, and then made a small gesture with embarrassment: "I can speak Cantonese very well. I can understand roughly what I hear, but I can't speak very well."
"Then ask Tian Tian to teach you when you have time." He Panshan suggested casually, and couldn't help but recall some interesting things: "In the past, Tian Tian's mother chatted with me in Cantonese, but now I am the only one who speaks to Tian Tian at home, but you guys Young people usually don’t like to speak dialects, and Yuan Chong’s mother speaks Hokkien, which made us quarrel so anxious that we were not on the same page.”
The crowd burst into laughter again. A successful entrepreneur like He Panshan could lower his status and share some anecdotes about himself. In an instant, he and this group of young people became much closer.
Everyone is thinking that this middle-aged man may not be as serious as they think. On the contrary, from what they have seen so far, He Panshan is still very friendly and funny.
At this time, the dishes were served one after another, and the servants poured the sobered red wine for everyone present. He Panshan took the lead in raising his glass and said:
"Come on, I'm very happy to meet everyone from the crew today. What about filming? My uncle is a layman. You kids are all professionals, and all of them are young and promising. I'm still not awake at your age. , so my uncle admires you very much and hopes that you can help Tianran complete this shooting. Thank you for your hard work!"
Everyone raised their glasses and spoke humbly. He Panshan drank a glass of red wine directly, and the juniors did not dare to leave a drop of wine left after seeing this.
After the alcohol was gone, a new glass was served again. People at the table began to move their chopsticks. The initial tension had dissipated. Everyone was in awe of He Panshanyu. Perhaps he said that he was an amateur when he toasted just now. , so after He Tianran introduced each of them, he asked some common and superficial questions that laymen have about the film and television industry.
As the leading actor, he is a boy, and facing this big investor, Sui Chulang, who often walks around in such social occasions, was the first to raise his glass and circle it.
my country's wine table culture has a long history. Under the subtle influence, no matter what industry you are in, whether you are high or low, whether you eat Chinese or Western food, as long as you are involved in some interest exchanges, you will basically not be able to escape this pattern. .
Sui Chulang thanked the He family and his son for the opportunity, and talked about the friendship between classmates in the past with Wen Liang and Gu Qiaoman. He also did not forget to thank Teacher A Liu for writing a good book. At the end, he also expressed his appreciation for "surfing". He was optimistic about this social software and shared his experience of using it. Almost everyone at the table thanked him. Even the two girls sitting next to him, Gu Qiaoman and Xie Yanyan, were told by him to drink more. After a few glasses of wine, we talked and laughed. I have to say that for him to be a front-line niche student today, his social skills are still sufficient.
Although Gu Qiaoman is a girl, as the heroine this time, she is naturally not to be outdone. She also toasted a few glasses of wine and said some words of thanks. The main reason is that she brought money to join the group. When Sui Chulang talked to Wen Liang She was somewhat embarrassed during their respective auditions.
Unexpectedly, He Panshan did not take this matter to heart. Instead, he asked her to relax and act. He also said that Xiaoman, you are very beautiful and you should have confidence in yourself. He also said that his uncle had watched your play at home and thought that It's very good. Don't put any pressure on me. It's a great thing that Shanhai can cooperate with Penguin this time.
Gu Qiaoman was deeply touched by He Panshan's caring gesture. The two leading actors were beaming with joy at the support of this old man with a net worth of over 10 billion, and the wine table was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
But Wen Liang was different from these two people. Although she had drunk some wine, she was still sober, and mainly because of He Tianran, who was sitting opposite her. Listening to the conversation during the dinner, a playful smile would occasionally appear on the corner of her mouth. When Wen Liang When Liang came back to his senses, he immediately had a different impression of He Panshan, who was chatting and laughing with the young people in front of him...
Just because behind this seemingly lively drinking party, He Panshan had already extracted too much information about Sui Chulang and Gu Qiaoman, and he barely managed to get the two of them after excluding the brokerage company's commission. I asked about my remuneration...
In fact, there is no esoteric formula for this kind of thing. The main thing is to arouse others' desire to share. During this period, He Panshan used care to lower the other party's wariness, and then exchanged some information about the development of film and television in Shanhai. Treat them as one of your own and induce the other party to reciprocate the favor.
Finally, there is the temptation of interests. He Panshan did not use this directly on the two of them, but showed it indirectly on Wen Liang at first, so that Sui and Gu could see it.
It’s not difficult to make clichés, but the difficulty lies in the character creation and actual selection before clichés.
Ginger is still spicier...
Thinking of this, Wen Liang took a deep breath and felt that some of her thoughts before coming here were too naive...
The girl wanted to please He Tianran's father, but now she couldn't even tell whether the respect He Panshan showed for her at the beginning was true or false...
She looked at He Tianran across from him. From time to time, this guy shook the red wine glass, took a sip, and occasionally intervened in the conversation between her father and the two leading actors to guide the direction and collect some things she wanted to hear. He was just like a little boy. No. He Panshan...
Sui Chulang and Gu Qiaoman haven't thought about it yet. They just feel that the investors and directors are favoring them and they are just happy. They are so drunk that they don't know what they said...
Wen Liang picked up a piece of bamboo shoot and put it in his mouth. He Tianran looked at her subconsciously and saw the girl's cheeks twitching and her eyes staring at him...
What's going on?
Why do you suddenly hate yourself?
Did I do something?
He Tianran asked a series of questions in his mind, with a look of confusion on his face.
The meal continued for another ten minutes. As the servant serving nearby called "Madam," everyone followed the call and saw a beautiful woman with a graceful temperament in black and white professional attire walking towards the dining table.
"Mom, you're back!"
He Yuanchong shouted.
"Um."
The woman responded, casually taking off her bag and coat and handing them to the servant, then walked over to her son and sat down casually.
This person is naturally He Panshan's current wife Tao Wei.
Some of the topics that were in full swing just now were interrupted. Xie Yanyan called her Aunt Tao affectionately. Everyone reacted and politely called her Auntie.
Wen Liang found that He Tianran seemed a little indifferent to the arrival of this stepmother.
"Why, the city didn't arrange any other activities for you in the evening?"
He Panshan asked with a smile across the crowd.
"Yes, but it's just the same old dinner party, so I won't go. When Yuan Chong sent me a message just now, I was almost home."
The servant placed the dishes and a hot towel on a plate. Tao Wei explained while wiping his hands.
After wiping his hands and putting the towel back on the plate, Tao Wei glanced around and smiled at He Yuanchong:
"Yuan Chong, learn from your brother. He has made great achievements in the entertainment industry in the past few years. He even invites big stars to his home for dinner. Unlike you, who idles around all day and only knows a few bad friends."
Before Tao Wei came, the dinner table was full of topics about the film crew and the entertainment industry. Xie Yanyan is still responsible for some "surfing line" business, has interactions with celebrities and artists, and is also very interested in this aspect. , but He Yuanchong was the only one who couldn't interrupt even if he wanted to. Even when Sui Chulang was toasting in circles just now, he couldn't think of any words. He could only say, "Nice to meet you, Brother Chong."
Now that his biological mother is back, she naturally pays attention to him. He Yuanchong said at the right time:
"Mom, don't say that. Those are Uncle Wang and Uncle Li's children. They might have some business dealings in the future."
"Haha, just like your dad, if you were a few years older, wouldn't you want to imitate your dad and make a few friends and go fishing?"
"Hahahaha, sea fishing is quite interesting."
When everyone heard the mother and son chatting away, He Panshan raised his glass and took a sip.
Tao Wei picked up a piece of meat, put it into his son's bowl, and said to He Tianran:
"Of course, if you are short of someone to bring your brother along with you, you are all majoring in finance in college. In the future, if you want to do film distribution, business, etc., you can work together. Brothers work together and can make a profit. You He’s in charge of production and he’s in charge of business.”
He Tianran nodded, "Okay, no problem. Yuan Chong can come anytime he wants, but my dad will be short of people, and neither of our two brothers will be here."
"Hey, don't mention your dad. Your dad is annoyed when he sees your brother now."
In the presence of He Panshan, Tao Wei didn't show any respect. It was hard for the old man to do anything when being held up, so he had to laugh and ask He Yuanchong:
"Oh, it's nothing. Chong'er, have you finished the golf course? It's been over half a year. Do you want me to ask someone to help you? I've made appointments with people waiting to play."
When He Yuanchong saw this, he definitely couldn't lose his position in front of outsiders and said:
"It's coming soon. It will be implemented within two months."
"And what about your supercar club? It's not profitable. It costs a lot of money a year. I don't know what you're going to do by opening a store."
Tao Wei held on and continued to scold.
In response, He Panshan also said good things for He Yuanchong:
"If you don't understand, just stop talking about this. That kind of store is not for profit. According to me, Yuanchong is doing a good job. Stop talking about your son."
"Yes, yes, I don't understand this. It's good that you two, father and son, know. By the way, Yanyan, I met your dad when I went to the city today, and your dad told me something..."
Tao Wei changed the topic and Xie Yanyan was named. He blinked and said curiously:
"What's the matter, Aunt Tao?"
"What else can I do to urge you two to hurry up? It may be a little early to get married. At least make sure you get married first."
In front of everyone, Tao Wei didn't shy away. Xie Yanyan's face turned red and she didn't say anything to refuse. She just lowered her head and looked at He Yuanchong.
Although what is being discussed now is the private affairs of the He family, everyone is listening carefully. After all, it is not easy to hear such gossip in a wealthy family. It turns out that things like urging marriage are common in that class. existing phenomenon.
He Yuanchong touched his nose and did not look at Xie Yanyan. Instead, he quietly took a look at He Panshan's face. After seeing that there was nothing unusual, he agreed:
"I can do it, what do you think, Dad."
He Panshan was silent for two seconds, cast a look at his eldest son who looked like an old man, and said jokingly:
"Look, your brother and Yanyan are talking about getting engaged now. What do you, the elder brother, say?"
"..."
What can I say, I wish them a happy marriage for a hundred years...
He Tianran is really a big boy. Everyone in the family is doing Tai Chi, and in the end, it was thrown at him. What should I say?
During this period, Aliu, who had been watching on the sidelines, was cooking with a glint in her eye. This kind of undercurrent of family drama made her very happy.
A man who looks funny and easy-going, but is actually the head of an unpredictable family. Recently, his eldest son, who is most like him, has made great achievements in starting a business. He has brought a group of his own people to visit the house. The second son pales in comparison. Fortunately, his biological mother is The current head of the family, instigating the second son, is not bad at all. Don’t worry about one thing and neglect the other. Now he regards the third generation of the He family as a bargaining chip. When the family turns around and asks the single eldest son what he thinks...
It seems that the head of the family is still partial to the eldest son, but at this time, it is really difficult for the person involved to answer. After all, relationships are about fate...
But it’s hard for the person involved to answer. Thinking about it from another angle, it’s an opportunity for others...
A Liu looked at Wen Liang. The little girl had never been in love before, and she had never experienced anything like this before. She still looked a little confused...
Oh, forget it, the plot can't end here, that would be boring, let me be the bad guy.
A Liu, who secretly made up his mind, touched Wen Liang with his elbow. The girl turned her head and was wondering, when she heard A Liu say something unconsciously:
"Huh? Didn't Director He just recently say that he had a girlfriend? Did I remember it wrong?"
I really won’t be so out of context next time, stop talking, stop talking, I won’t, I won’t…
