Chapter 40

Wen Ji Nian was shocked.

But he quickly realized that—not to mention the presence of Zhong Yunqi, even Chang Xiaoru has been in the entertainment industry all year round, and since this matter is such a big deal, he must have known the news immediately.

Now Zhong Xingran has passively come out to his family, and he doesn't know if his family will embarrass him.

Wen Jinian noticed that what Jiang Kun said was that he was taken back to Lanjiang, not Yanzhong.Zhong Xingran lived in Lanjiang in his early years, and he went to the best high school in Lanjiang like him. Later, he was admitted to university and entered the entertainment industry, so Chang Xiaoru moved to Yanzhong to take care of him.

Returning to Lanjiang also means that this matter is so serious that his whole family has gone back, which is completely a precursor to the opening of a criticism/fighting meeting.

No matter how Zhong Xingran came out because of him, it is absolutely impossible for Wen Jinian to ignore him.

He said to Jiang Kun, "You send me his home address."

Jiang Kun choked, "He knew you would go to him, so he specifically asked me not to take you there, so that you could stay in the crew and film with peace of mind. And don't mention you, even Sister Chang asked me for your contact information , I can only pretend to be deaf and dumb, and I really can't help you with this matter..."

Wen Jinian's tone was unusually anxious, "Do you just listen to what he says? Brother Kun, I can't let him face this matter alone."

Jiang Kun saw that the situation was not good, and quickly pretended: "...What? The bathroom is on fire? Oh, Ji Nian, I can't chat with you anymore, the bathroom on our floor is on fire, I have to go downstairs quickly! Remember to post on Weibo !"

After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone.

Wen Ji Nian: "..."

He took a few deep breaths, and besides Jiang Kun, Zhong Yunqi should be the only one who knew about Zhong Xingran's family affairs.

But Zhong Yunqi... seems to be more difficult to deal with than Jiang Kun.

He got in touch with Song Yuzhen, discussed with her, posted the Weibo, and then went to ask Lin Jiasheng for leave.

The Lin family ate melons all morning, and the whole crew thought that he and Zhong Xingran were getting divorced, and it happened that Xu Na recorded and sent it out, so everyone sympathized with them.

When Lin Jiasheng heard that he was going to ask for leave, he immediately granted him a three-day leave without saying a word.

When Wen Ji Nian was leaving in the car, Lin Jiasheng took Wang Xiao, the assistant director and the scene controller, and waved a handkerchief to see him off: "Cashel, if his parents dare to bully you, just call and I will bring the whole crew with you immediately." Rushing over to support you!"

Several people showed pity on their faces, that battle was like sending a daughter off to get married.

The driver and Zhang Keke in the car were both holding back their laughter, Wen Ji Nian quickly closed the window, and quickly kept the group of handkerchiefs out.

After returning to Yanzhong, Wen Jinian immediately went to the company to find Zhong Yunqi.Zhong Yunqi was talking about something when he passed by, and the assistant asked him to wait in the reception room.

Not long after, Zhong Yunqi walked in with a stack of papers.

"Are you looking for me?" It was rare for him to be dressed in a fancy way today, wearing a normal gray shirt with the cuffs rolled up high, looking like a serious boss in the entertainment industry.

Wen Jinian stood up and was waved by him to sit back. He hesitated and said, "Mr. Zhong, do you know about Zhong Xingran's return to Lanjiang?"

Zhong Yunqi sorted out the document carefully, and said with a half-smile: "He is not my artist, should I know?"

Wen Ji Nian frowned unobtrusively, "But he is your real brother, isn't he?"

"Hmm, so what do you want to say?" Zhong Yunqi signaled him to continue.

Wen Jinian was quiet for a moment, but still said: "Can you give me the address of his home, I want to go find him."

Zhong Yunqi clasped his hands, looked at him and asked, "You want to go to him and come out to the family together with him? But aren't you going to get divorced? This coming out doesn't seem like the right time."

"No matter what he wants to do, I will be with him." Wen Jinian said calmly.

Zhong Yunqi laughed, and said in a drawn-out voice, "Oh—so, you don't plan to divorce him?"

Wen Jinian hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.

Zhong Yunqi rubbed his chin, "It's not impossible to let me tell you the address, but I suddenly remembered something else, do you want to think about it?"

He pushed the document over, "This is the renewal contract between you and ZTR. I had someone print it out just now. It is clearer than the electronic version. Take a look."

Wen Ji Nian froze.

This old fox, he was actually printing out the contract just now, so he had already expected that he would come to him.

He looked at the cover motionless, and began to weigh the pros and cons of the two in his heart.If the contract is renewed for another five years, it means that he cannot establish his own studio during this period. If he explodes within five years, the losses will be countless; but Zhong Yunqi is Zhong Xingran's brother, if he is willing to Help Zhong Xingran speak, then this matter will be solved a lot easier...

When he lowered his head and frowned in thought, Zhong Yunqi was watching him from the side.

Soon, Wen Jinian looked up at him and said, "Do you have a pen, Mr. Zhong?"

Unexpectedly, Zhong Yunqi didn't happily find a pen for him immediately, but sighed with emotion.

He stared at Wen Jinian's face for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking, Wen Jinian didn't look away, but looked at him quietly.

The camouflage on Zhong Yunqi's face finally disappeared, and he sighed: "My younger brother, He Dehe Neng, can have a boyfriend like you, why couldn't you agree to me in the first place? Tsk, don't look at me like that ...I'm joking with you...I don't want to take advantage of others. This contract is prepared a long time ago, but you can take it home and read it slowly. Don't rush to sign it. I will try my best to improve the treatment that can be improved in it. Yes, as long as you are willing to stay in ZTR in the future, I will definitely give you the top resources."

Wen Jinian understood that he didn't bring anything with him when he came in, and he didn't ask Song Yuzhen to come in. It seemed that he was just trying to test him.

Zhong Yunqi stood up and said, "Let's go to the airport, the ticket to fly to Lanjiang has already been bought for you."

Wen Ji Nian was taken aback for a moment, it turned out that he was going back too, he really was... a cunning old fox.

Zhong Yunqi patted him on the shoulder: "I'm sorry for what happened just now, I just wanted to see how important he is to you. You also know that he is my own brother after all. Since he was a child, he only went crazy twice Rebellious, one time is to enter the entertainment circle, one time is because of you. I recognize your ability at work, but I also want to know if you really love him, and whether it is worth it for him to do all this for you. "

He smiled slightly, "Looking at it now, it should be worth it. When I came out, my dad almost broke my leg. I hope his strength will be weaker this year."

Wen Jinian looked at him and said, "Mr. Zhong, in fact, you and Zhong Xingran are not as... at odds with each other as rumored."

Everyone in ZTR knows that he can't mention his unlucky brother in front of Zhong Yunqi, but now it seems that he still loves Zhong Xingran very much, otherwise he wouldn't go back and go to muddy water for his affairs.

Zhong Yun raised his eyebrows, "No, he didn't choose to sign ZTR back then, but went to the company of that old guy Qu Huaimin. I won't forgive him for this incident alone."

He smiled and walked out the door.

Wen Ji Nian was waiting outside the office for him to change, and when he came out, Zhong Yunqi put on his coat and changed into an outfit that he could go home to fool his elders.

The two walked into the elevator, and Zhong Yunqi said, "Do you know why ZTR is called this name?"

Wen Jinian shook his head. He really didn't know. When he first came to the company, he searched the Internet for the English abbreviation, but he couldn't find it unexpectedly.

Zhong Yunqi looked at the numbers on the floor, "This is Zhong Jiantao's Z, T, and Chang Xiaoru's R, these two are my parents' names."

It's still a husband and wife business, Wen Ji Nian thought to himself, since the husband and wife have both set foot in the entertainment industry, why are they so opposed to Zhong Xingran's entry into the entertainment industry?

Zhong Yunqi said: "My father met my mother at a dinner party back then. At that time they talked about business and invited a few celebrities to accompany them. Halfway through the meal, my mother rushed in and took her artist away. From then on, Liang Zi It's over."

Wen Ji Nian couldn't help laughing and said, "Aunt Chang was really a vigorous person when she was young."

"What are you doing vigorously and resolutely? I gave her a gold medal. That's called spicy. It's so spicy that most people in the industry dare not provoke her." Zhong Yunqi also laughed. He already felt that Wen Ji Nian was already half of his family, so he said it naturally. more up.

"But my dad is not an ordinary person. He not only provoked him, but also married him back. Later they founded ZTR, and in those few years... a little accident happened... I will let Ran Ran tell you about it later. In short, since then, My father will not allow my mother to set foot in the entertainment circle."

The elevator reached the parking lot, and they walked out together.

Zhong Yunqi continued: "Later, I took over the company and came out at that time. My dad felt that it was because of problems in this industry, so he strictly prohibited Ran Ran from engaging in this industry. I tell you this to tell you You, he is very jealous of people in the circle, you have to be mentally prepared for this."

Wen Ji Nian nodded, he probably could hear some clues from Zhong Yunqi's words.

In Zhong Jiantao's eyes, celebrities may be toys/things for him to accompany drinks. He created ZTR only because of Chang Xiaoru, but the two accidents later probably made his prejudice against this circle completely. It was deeply ingrained, that's why he opposed Zhong Xingran's entry into the circle so much.

But now Zhong Xingran has not only become a star, but also turned; not only bent, but also came out in public.

No need to think about how much pressure he will face when he returns home.

After getting into the car, Wen Jinian asked a little uneasy: "Mr. Zhong, did you really have your leg broken when you came out?"

Zhong Yunqi looked at him playfully, "Why, are you worried about my brother or yourself? My dad is a respectable person. If he wanted to beat him, he would only beat me and Ran Ran. The person who came out with me back then was fine. Son."

He said a lot today, Wen Ji Nian couldn't help feeling curious, "Where is that person now?"

"I went abroad and ran away with a foreign old man." Zhong Yunqi said melancholy, "That old man is richer than me, he doesn't fly Cullinan, he has a private jet. That kid is spreading rumors everywhere that I am a scumbag, Miss Bai Yueguang to him every day."

Wen Ji Nian almost laughed out loud, "So do you have White Moonlight?"

Zhong Yunqi said shamelessly: "I have it, so what if I have it, am I shorting his house or shorting his diamonds? He takes good care of both the bed and the bed, as for calling me a scumbag?"

Wen Ji Nian: "..."

He was the one who overestimated Zhong Yunqi.

During the flight from Yanzhong to Lanjiang, he was forced to listen to Zhong Yunqi's love history since elementary school. He spittled and told how he and Bai Yueguang fell in love at first sight, and even Wen Jinian covered his ears and pretended to be asleep. With stop.

After getting off the plane, Wen Jinian began to understand why Zhong Xingran bothered his brother so much.

What kind of domineering president is this? He is obviously a boudoir and resentful husband who was abandoned by his childhood sweetheart.

Zhong's house is located in the top wealthy area of ​​Lanjiang, and it took more than an hour to drive there from the airport. During this period, Wen Jinian tried to dial Zhong Xingran's mobile phone, but as expected, it showed that it was turned off.

Zhong Yunqi sneered, "Don't call, his cell phone was confiscated long ago, and Jiang Kun posted Weibo on his behalf. I guess he has already fast forwarded to the second step, the hunger strike."

Wen Ji Nian: "... what?"

"When he was going to take the exam for Yan Chuan, his father locked him up at home in the same way. On the first day he tried to open the window and four bodyguards and was arrested. On the second day he tried a hunger strike. According to his Judging from how much you care, the hunger strike should start directly today."

"..." Wen Jinian was almost at a loss for words, "Then how did Mr. Zhong agree to it?"

Zhong Yunqi said nonchalantly: "Later he hanged himself, but the rope broke. This matter was spread among the seven aunts and the eight aunts, and it would be used as a topic of discussion during the New Year and holidays. Dad felt that it was true. It's too embarrassing, so I don't want to talk to him at all. But I also set up a military order for him, if he doesn't become popular within five years, he will come back and inherit the family business."

Wen Jinian imagined it for a while, he pushed open the door, and saw the picture of Zhong Xingran sticking out his long tongue and hanging himself...it was so weird.

Zhong Yunqi kindly explained to him: "Our family has a lot of relatives, waiting for you to pass through the door... oh no, you have already passed through the door. After you officially enter the door, you will meet a large number of people every year. According to the rules, you and Ran Ran are considered to be friends. Newlyweds, you have to give them New Year greetings one by one, and remember to prepare a few bigger bags to hold the red envelopes. Talk to uncle more sweetly, he will give you the most."

The corner of Wen Jinian's mouth twitched, and he really admired him for thinking about it at this moment.

He was still a little worried, and asked, "How long will Zhong Xingran go on hunger strike?"

Don't really starve him to death.

Zhong Yunqi looked numb, "You think he's really on a hunger strike, and my mother will give him food for sure. She's just superficially strict, and she doesn't mention that she's afraid of burning and starving in private. Oh yes, I forgot In order to show you this video, in fact, my mother and we have already united front."

He took out his phone and found a video for Wen Ji Nian to watch.

It was sent to him by Chang Xiaoru on Zhong Xingran's birthday, and Zhong Xingran probably didn't read it.Zhong Yunqi directly skipped the boring birthday greetings and moved to the second half.

Chang Xiaoru wore a birthday hat, sitting alone on Zhong Xingran's bed, and said to the camera: "Ranran, you are 24 years old this year, and you are not too young. When you were in high school, I always followed you Emphasize that puppy love is not allowed, and after you went to college, I never asked you again."

She had a sad face on her face, "Actually, mom is not stupid. I have heard the gossip a long time ago. You don't have any girls around you. Of course I know what's going on. Since you went to college, you rarely go home again. I really don't know." I hope to go back to when you were a child, clinging to me all day and wanting to sleep with me. Taking advantage of your birthday, I want to say to you, if there is someone you like, please bring it home and let us see, as long as it is not too messy for me can accept..."

Wen Jinian was about to be moved by her sincerity, when the camera suddenly shook twice, and Zhong Yunqi's voice came from the screen.

"Mom, are you fake? Just now you said 'I'd like to see which little hoof seduced my son', now you're trying to be provocative again?"

Chang Xiaoru's complexion changed, and she stood up and wanted to slap him, "Shut up! You told me that he was with a little wild model, and those little models suck blood ... If you want me to say, it's not as good as Xiaowen from last time. Xiaowen is his high school classmate after all. "

Every time she mentioned "Xiaoyemo", she had to gnash her teeth once.

The picture became chaotic, and there were a few screams of being beaten from time to time.

Zhong Yunqi smiled at him, actually somewhat complacent: "This is called wanting to be promoted first, and she will cherish you only if you disappoint her first. Today, after she knows that Ran Ran's marriage partner is you, don't mention it." How lucky. How about it, brother sacrificed a lot for you, right?"

Wen Ji Nian is really convinced, he already knows who Zhong Xing Ran's personality is like, and the whole family is so out of tune.

When he was about to arrive at his house, Wen Jinian remembered and said, "Is it not good for me to visit so suddenly, and I didn't bring any gifts..."

Although he rarely visited the elders, he knew the basic etiquette.

"It's okay, no need, just wait to receive the red envelope." Zhong Yunqi said relaxedly, "I've prepared the presents for you, and there are a bunch of things from the blue blood sponsors in the trunk. The contract extension was signed early."

Wen Ji Nian was at a loss for words again, it was unnecessary for him to ask this question.

The Zhong Family Mansion is a well-known mansion in this area. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and is located halfway up the mountain, with an excellent location.

After Cullinan drove through the gate that opened automatically, he passed a pond and drove for another 5 minutes before reaching the main gate.

Wen Jinian saw Chang Xiaoru standing in front of the iron gate from a distance.

She wore a haute couture purple dress that would only be used on a red carpet, and a full set of Harry Winston on her head and hands, followed by a mighty team of butlers.

Wen Jinian thought that there would be no red carpet behind her, but when the car approached, he saw that there was really a red carpet behind her.

After seeing him get off the car, Chang Xiaoru was really relieved, after all, she wasn't a wild model who raised her blood pressure.

She came over and shook Wen Ji Nian's hand and said, "We meet again, Ji Nian, welcome."

Unlike the first time we met, her attitude was much more cordial.She looked him over carefully, her eyes full of satisfaction.

Wen Jinian called out "Hello, Auntie", afraid that she would take out a business card and say in front of Zhong Yunqi, "Have you considered signing with my internet celebrity company?".

Chang Xiaoru didn't take out her business card, but said with a smile, "Since you're married, don't call me Auntie, you should call me Mom instead."

Wen Ji Nian choked up.

This seems to be different from the bloody coming out scene he imagined.

Chang Xiaoru said with a smile: "I'll take you to meet Ran Ran, and you can talk secretly for a while while his father is fishing. By the way, didn't you see his father on the way here?"

Wen Ji Nian glanced at Zhong Yunqi, they did pass a fish pond when they came, there was a man wearing a straw hat sitting on the bank fishing, Zhong Yunqi also said, "The security guards in this area are fishing again, I have nothing to do every day, so I turned him away."

Dare to feel that it is not the security guard, but Zhong Jiantao.

Zhong Yunqi rubbed his nose, ignoring the embarrassment that he didn't even recognize his father, and pretended to be nonchalant and urged: "Mom, don't keep asking if you have anything, take your siblings up quickly, and Dad will come back later." There is still a tough battle to fight.”

He said "brother and sister" one by one very smoothly, completely ignoring Wen Ji Nian's shocked eyes.

The mother and son were heart-to-heart, and immediately brought Wen Jinian to the third floor of the villa. Zhong Yunqi also stayed on the first floor to let the wind out, in case Zhong Jiantao came back suddenly. His posture seemed to be saving Romeo and Juliet.

Chang Xiaoru took him outside a bedroom, held up her skirt and said worriedly: "Go in and comfort him, he came back with me last night, the child didn't sleep all night, and he didn't drink any water this morning , I gave him food and he refused to eat it."

Hearing what she said, Wen Jinian also became worried, and said to her: "Don't worry, Auntie, I will persuade him well."

He felt that there was no need for Zhong Xingran to do this step, he could tell his family the fact that they were contract couples, and he didn't know what he was obsessed with.

Chang Xiaoru said: "Actually, when I first learned that Ran Ran liked men, I couldn't accept it. You also know the situation of our family, so I can only adopt/adopt a child. But I thought about it for a long time. , I always feel that we oppressed him too much, which caused him to become like this. Both my father and I like to force him to do things he doesn't want to do, which makes his character more and more rebellious. Choosing a lover is the same as choosing music. It was the only one he chose. Seeing you now, I think I can trust his vision."

She handed the key to Wen Jinian, turned around and went to the corridor on the third floor to watch.

Wen Jinian watched her disappear at the end of the aisle, and for some reason, a faint guilt surged in his heart. Chang Xiaoru finally accepted him. If he found out that they were fake, would he be even more sad?

He let out a breath, summoned up the courage to open the door with the key.

Zhong Xingran's bedroom is composed of a living room and a bedroom. The living room has been converted into a place for him to write manuscripts, and the manuscript paper on the floor is thrown everywhere.

Looking at the messy manuscript papers on the ground, Wen Jinian suddenly had an ominous premonition, thinking of Zhong Yunqi's mention of hanging himself, he couldn't help speeding up his pace.

When he reached the door of the bedroom, he was already a little anxious, and he pushed the door open without knocking.

Zhong Xingran was sitting on the bed eating mung bean cakes secretly, when the door of the room with his back facing him was suddenly pushed open, he reflexively swallowed mung bean cakes raw and turned his head away.

The moment he saw Wen Ji Nian, he was dumbfounded, and the mung bean cake got stuck in his throat.

Wen Jinian was also stunned, what caught his eyes was not the tragic and heroic picture of hanging himself as he had imagined, nor was he curled up in a corner crying with his legs crossed, but...

Zhong Xingran was eating pastry crumbs all over his face, holding a limited edition game console in his hand, and throwing various potato chips, jerky and pastry wrappers under the bed.His cheeks were swollen by the snacks, his eyes were wide open, like a caught hamster.

The two looked at each other, and the air was completely frozen.

"........."

Suddenly, Zhong Xingran covered his throat in pain, his eyes turned white, and his face was flushed with suffocation: "Cough cough cough... it's stuck, cough cough..."

Wen Jinian came back to his senses and rushed up.
