I'm the director, I'm not bad

on Monday.

For many office workers, Monday is the most difficult day.

The carnival on weekends emptied the body, and the heavy work on Monday followed.

It's not going to be much better all Monday.

But the couple on Monday morning received an invitation from Zhao Xinyu to go to her club in the afternoon.

Have an afternoon tea.

Note that it is "her" club.

You must know that the composition of Chang'an Club's shares is almost transparent.

A normal person only needs to go to Baidu to search for news such as the board of directors of a bank or the CEO of a group, etc., and they will be searched.

But Zhao Xinyu said "her" club.

These words sounded very interesting to Xu Xin.

However, if it is interesting, it is interesting, and what should be promised must be agreed.

I had already learned some things from the old man in Shenmu before, and Xu Xin didn't think about who I would curry favor with or who I would lick.

head.

To be invited by others is to release goodwill.Then you have to save face.

Went there, exchanged pleasantries, gained knowledge, and got a lot of "relatives".

Anyway, at such an old age, and the old man are both called "Daqiang, Daqiang", so it's not a loss to call him an aunt.

So, after packing up the children in the afternoon, the two of them drove the car and prepared to leave.

Chang'an Club is not far from Shijia Hutong.Just 2 kilometers away.

It took less than 15 minutes to drive, and the couple arrived at the building next to Tianmen Square.

After parking the car and getting down, Yang Mi looked at the Chang'an Building in front of her and said to Xu Xin:

"People say that the Japanese food here is very delicious and the swimming pool is also good. Let's take a look at it later. If possible, it would be nice to swim with Nuannuan and Yangyang in the future." Xu Xin understood what she meant.

It has to be admitted that for this group of people who are now called post-80s, the "family swimming pool" is always an unavoidable hurdle in their basic understanding of foreign culture since childhood.

Be it Hollywood movies or Xiangjiang TV series, you can always see a group of rich people appearing in front of the swimming pool in their backyard under the warm sunshine.Or smoking a cigar,

Take the bodyguards there to discuss business with people, or meet girls.

Then at this time, there will always be a group of killers coming over, shooting at the boss.

Then began a period of grievances and grievances.

Therefore, at some point, "private swimming pool" seems to have become one of the common perceptions of the life of the rich among people born in the 80s.

Xu Xin is like this, and so is Yang Mi.

And behind the villa that Xu Daqiang bought in Shouson Hill, Xiangjiang, there is a swimming pool.

Yang Mi liked it very much at first.

I also want to engage in a sunbathing drama.

The first time I went to swim in Shouson Mountain was in the evening.The couple also took wine and fruit. Anyway, there were only two of them in the villa, and they planned to play with each other.

As a result, when the lights were turned on at night, the moths and mosquitoes all over the sky began to flock here.

There was no romance at all, and the falling mosquitoes and moths flying in the water made the two of them [-]% disgusting.

If we can bear the early morning of the next day this time, the fruit that was forgotten by the pool last night attracted many small animals at night.

When Yang Mi found a fallen wine bottle by the pool, and a mouse in the pool who didn't know whether it was drunk or died, she completely lost any thought about the outdoor swimming pool.

Whoever likes to play will play, anyway, don't look for me.

Even if Xu Xin had someone clean and disinfect it, she couldn't make it through
That hurdle in my heart.

And the couple's occupations don't allow them to wear swimsuits in public swimming pools. Of course, public swimming pools may be even dirtier.

But if something is true
If you wake up, you won't be able to live.

In addition, in the past few years, she was either filming or busy with her career at home, and basically never went to the beach. She is really obsessed with swimming.

And swimming is also good for children, strengthening the heart and lung function.So, after hearing her words, Xu Xin nodded: "Come on, it's close to home anyway."

"Well, let's go."

After talking, the two walked into the Chang'an Building.

When he came to the electronic gate guarded by a special person, he reported Zhao Xinyu's name, and the other party seemed to have been notified, so he politely invited the two of them to the elevator.

There is also a special guide in the elevator with a headset.After the two came in, they greeted respectfully:
"Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu, hello both of you, now I will lead you to the reception floor."

After speaking, he pressed the elevator.Came directly to the 10th floor.

As soon as he got out of the elevator door, Xu Xin saw all kinds of bottles and jars covered by glass covers in the spacious corridor.

He reckoned it should be an antique.

And when they saw the two of them coming out, a man in a man's suit who had been waiting in front

The waiter also bowed respectfully to greet them, and guided the two of them to an unknown place.

He was in front, Xu Xin and Yang Mi were behind.

Looking at the boy in front who always bowed his head respectfully and led the way
Xu Xin frowned slightly.

This respect made him a little uncomfortable.But he didn't say anything.

Do as the Romans do when you come to the country, and you will be safe when you come.

Walking for a while in the two glass-covered corridors, turned a corner, and looked at the double-door room with a disc hanging on the door frame in front of a wide corridor that suddenly opened up.

Xu Xin locked his eyes on one of the discs.Azure Dragon Auspicious Beast?
Looking at the twisted and twisted abstract painting, he turned his head and looked at the other side.
A pattern resembling a horse or a cow comes into view.white tiger?
right?
Would it be disrespectful to kill the White Tiger Lord?Isn't that a white tiger?
Kirin?Not sure.

Anyway, the four patterns are quite abstract, looking like oracle bone inscriptions.And the waiter directly opened the third door:

"Two distinguished guests, please come in."

"thanks."

Xu Xin thanked politely and Yang Mi nodded slightly to the waiter before walking in.

Once inside, the landscape suddenly opens up.

Faintly through the floor-to-ceiling glass window, Xu Xin saw half of the Forbidden City.
The entire room is very large, at least two to three hundred square meters.

What wine cabinet wine cellar, ni golf, sofa, reception table and the like will not be mentioned.

After looking around, he walked directly to the French windows.

When he walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows, he could see the crowded Tianmen Square and the vermilion palace behind.

Fantastic location.Overlooking the Forbidden City.

All of a sudden, Xu Xin felt an indescribable sense of pride and ambition.

It's like wanting to grab the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in front of me.

"tsk"

In the words of the waiter, "Both wait a moment, Mr. Zhao will be here in a while", Xu Xin slammed his mouth.

Said to his wife who was also shocked by the mystery:

"It's pretty ingenious, isn't it?"

".Ok."

Yang Mi also nodded unconsciously:

"Growing up so big. This is really the first time I have overlooked the Forbidden City from this angle. I am used to looking up at it
Hearing this, Xu Xin narrowed his eyes and looked at the city ahead.Suddenly muttered:
"Ambition is the soil in which desires breed."

Wearing high heels, taller than Xu Xin's shoulder by a forehead
After hearing her husband's words, the woman turned her head and glanced at her lover who narrowed her eyes.
Nod slightly:

"It's better to come to this place less often in the future."

Hearing this, Xu Xin withdrew his gaze, and also turned his head to look at her.
Nodded: "Yeah."

"Xiao Xu, Mi Mi."

After waiting for about 10 minutes, the door was pushed open again.

Zhao Xinyu walked in wearing a loose sweater, jeans, and sneakers.

The casual clothes, compared to Xu Xin and Yang Mi's slightly formal meeting etiquette, must be somewhat inappropriate.

But for the same reason, such a casual dress also shows that she is the "master" here.

That probably means: meet guests in your own home, don't need to be too formal.Be decent.

Xu Xin and Yang Mi greeted her with a smile: "Aunt Zhao.

Both of them shouted politely and affectionately.

"Ai."

Zhao Xinyu smiled brightly. After shaking hands with Xu Xin, when shaking hands with Yang Mi, she still held Yang Mi's hand very affectionately and looked at her face.

After carefully looking through it, he nodded in agreement:
"Let me just say, it's no wonder Daqiang is so happy every day. You look like you are lucky ~ Wangfu and Wangjia."

"Uh, hey, thank you, Aunt Zhao."

"Haha. Come on."

Holding Yang Mi's hand did not let go, Zhao Xinyu turned her head, and a woman in her early 30s, who was next to her, who didn't know whether it was the foreman or the follower, handed over two white letters with gloved hands, outlined in gold, with fonts in the middle It is an envelope with "Chang'an" in large red and gold characters.

"I don't have any good gifts when we meet for the first time. I keep these two membership cards. If you have nothing to do, come here often."

"Thank you, Aunt Zhao." Yang Mi smiled and took it.

As for the membership fee, she didn't ask.

Regardless of whether the father-in-law gave it or not, even if he didn't, he gave two for nothing.

She will use it for free for at most one year.

In the second year, the dues should be paid.Come and go.

Otherwise it will appear petty.

After exchanging pleasantries, the gloved woman exited the room.The three of them sat around the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows.

As the "master", Zhao Xinyu sat on a separate sofa, while Xu Xin and Yang Mi sat on the long sofa.

Zhao Xinyu's first sentence was:

"Xiao Xu, what do you think of the scenery here?"

Xu Xin turned his head and glanced at the busy traffic downstairs, then nodded, "You've gained your knowledge.

"Haha~"

Zhao Xinyu seemed very happy to hear this, and said:

"In terms of scenery, ours is indeed the best. The scenery is good and the view is good, especially during the military parade. What to drink? I sent someone to make tea. If you two want to drink something else, just take it directly." .”

She pointed in the direction of the wine cellar.

And just as he finished speaking, suddenly, the phone in Yang Mi's pocket rang.

She quickly said sorry, took it out and planned to hang up.But just after taking it out, when he saw the caller, he was suddenly taken aback.
Unconsciously looked at Zhao Xinyu.

"what's wrong?"

Zhao Xinyu asked.

Yang Mi didn't hide it, and said directly:
"It was Teacher Zhang Ziyi who called me, and what she said was very simple.

After getting to know this Aunt Zhao in front of her from her husband, she did her homework.

And Zhang Ziyi, and this Aunt Zhao, are recognized as "best friends" in the circle.

Although she didn't know whether the call was a coincidence or what, Yang Mi still chose to ask the other party.

The relationship between the two is girlfriends after all, maybe it's the intention of the other party.

But after hearing this, Zhao Xinyu was stunned

After a while, the smile on his face was reduced to three points, and he said to Yang Mi:

"Then you pick it up, I'll talk to Xiao Xu."

Now, Yang Mi was also taken aback.

This attitude does not seem to be quite right with what I think.

When Zhang Ziyi was at the Golden Horse Awards, she was a bit solicitous, but her attitude was very approachable, which made her keep muttering.

But today, I just met this Aunt Zhao, and the other party called
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a coincidence.

In Yang Mi's mind, these two people should have contacted in advance.

After all, Zhang Ziyi's polite acquaintance at the Golden Horse Awards, and the attitude of calling each other is too abrupt.

It is very likely that he is waiting for himself here.

But when he saw the meaning of Aunt Zhao's restrained smile, it seemed that he had guessed wrong?
Aren't the two best friends?
What's wrong with this?At this time, her instinct kicked in.Choose to hang up the phone directly.

Then, after adjusting the phone to silent mode, he smiled and said:
"I met Teacher Zhang at the Golden Horse Awards two days ago. It was the first time we met after a few years. We only left each other on the phone. Aunt Zhao, what do you drink? I'll get it."

After explaining "we are not familiar with each other" very naturally, Yang Mi got up and was about to go to the wine cabinet.

And seeing this little girl so smart, Zhao Xinyu smiled and nodded.
Head: "I'm casual." "Hmm, what about you?" Xu Xin also said:

"You can take whatever you want."

"it is good."

Yang Mi got up and walked to the wine cabinet, and then Zhao Xinyu said: "No wonder Daqiang said you married a good wife...
"Hey, yes, yes."

Xu Xin also nodded vigorously, and continued:

"Aunt Zhao, I think you know a lot of people in our industry. Zhang Weiping and Mr. Zhang met you last time. Teacher Zhang Ziyi and you are also good friends.
"Wei Ping and I are old acquaintances. Yimou also met through him."

Seeing that she didn't mention Zhang Ziyi at all, Xu Xin more or less had a clue in his heart, and continued to chat along the lines:

"Isn't it ten years less?"

"Almost. Yimou also has this card, but he comes less

"Well, Director Zhang is actually quite boring in private. Sometimes you can say that you are withdrawn. You don't like to contact people. If you have nothing to do, you like to think about movies and scripts by yourself.

"That change also took place in the past two years. After "House of Daggers"
Before, he was actually quite a cheerful person.”

For some reason, the topic came to Zhang Yimou.

Speaking of the past that even Xu Xin rarely knew about.

I also learned more or less about those very different interesting things in the film and television circle back then.

After chatting for a while, it was almost time to see each other, and Zhao Xinyu suddenly spoke in a good voice.

"Mimi, when is the peak night of "The Voice"?"

"Christmas."

Yang Mi, who has always been at ease as a foil, took over the right to speak:
"Christmas, when the time comes, the four instructors, and the students who have entered the top 18, including the best scene voted out in the blind selection stage, will hold a concert at the Bird's Nest together. I will send the tickets to Aunt Zhao tomorrow and the day after tomorrow Can you come?"

"OK."

Zhao Xinyu nodded in agreement.

However, going to a peak night concert is definitely not her goal.

Xu Xin and Yang Mi knew this well.

"What about the second season? When is the second season going to start?"

"Next year. The audition will start at the beginning of next year. The audition this time may be more brutal than this year, so we have to start preparations in advance. Then it will be broadcast. It should still be during the summer vacation. It may be earlier than this year."

Yang Mi knows the history of Aunt Zhao.He was born as a singer, but his masterpieces are mediocre.

As for the most glorious resume..
First Prize in the National Singer Competition in 88.

But now that The Voice was mentioned suddenly, Yang Mi's first reaction was that she wanted to be a judge of "The Voice".

In an instant, I felt a little troubled.

However, this time she really thought too much.

After Yang Mi finished explaining the second season of The Voice, Zhao Xinyu nodded:
"It turned out to be like this, that's just right. My daughter is now a singer in Xiangjiang. She formed a group with her friends. If you sign up for the audition, please let me know. I will take her to the competition."

Yang Mi was taken aback.her daughter?

But Xu Xin laughed at this moment:
"Aunt Zhao's words are too outlandish. You are a singer, and your professional ability is beyond doubt. You are so confident, so why do you still participate in the audition? When the time comes for the program to start recording, just come to the blind selection stage. Save yourself running back and forth."

The smile on Zhao Xinyu's face immediately became brighter:
"That's great. In fact, she doesn't have any big dreams. She just likes music. Children, since we like it, we must support it a lot. She has been watching the program "The Voice" since it first came out, and it has always been special. I like it. Even in my dreams, I want to show on the stage
some..
"Haha, then come here. Just treat it as your own home, come and play for a while. Aunt Zhao can be so supportive, it is definitely not easy to think about her strength. It just so happens that the competition system of "The Voice" this year has also been slightly adjusted. Speaking of which, we have also made adjustments to the problem that the instructor had too much power to speak between the top 32 and the top 16 last year. We have given more power to the audience and the media judges. Let everyone choose their own Good sound, more interesting and watchable.”

"Does that mean the audience has greater rights?"

"Yes, because this time the program recording site is bigger and the audience is bigger. Each show is no less than a small fan club. It is conservatively estimated that there are more than 800 people. The further you go, the more you will test the players. Stable ability to perform in concert-level LIVE Last season, the preference of each mentor for his own team was too obvious.
"Ha, sounds fairer than last year."

"Well, indeed, after the round of 16, the round of 16 to 8 basically relies purely on the audience."

"This is also the charm of "The Voice". It doesn't look at appearance, appearance, or background. It is purely based on singing voice. This alone can satisfy almost all musicians' original intention of sticking to this road."

"Haha, yes." Yang Mi remained silent.

Instead, I listened to the two talking about the rules of "The Voice".She is indeed weak in how to hide the meaning in words and convey it to the other party.

But that doesn't mean she didn't study hard.

After her brother took over the right to speak, she has been working hard to think about the meaning revealed in the words of the two of them.

It is not difficult to understand the meaning.

The difficulty lies in how to convey one's own meaning accurately and at the same time clearly understand the other party's meaning without any thought and effort.

And in this conversation, she could only hear that her brother meant that the other party was coming, and the blind selection stage must be fine.But in the top 32 and top 16, if you want to go one step further, it depends on your individual ability.

Aunt Zhao's meaning. It seems that there is no dissatisfaction?That's what it should mean, right?

In short, after the topic started to change to "The Voice", the three chatted for more than half an hour.

Then, Xu Xin's phone rang.

I took it out and saw that it was Liang Bingning calling.

He thought for a while, got up, walked to the side and quickly connected the phone: "Hello, Sister Bingbing."

"Hey, are you home?"

"No, what's going on outside?"

"No, but I'm looking for Mimi. I just called Mimi a few times and she didn't answer."

"The two of us are together. Both of us are doing business outside~" "So, do you have anything to do tonight?"

"night?"

"Yes, you and Mimi, let's go out for a meal? I'm with Zhang Ziyi.

Hearing this, Xu Xin turned his head and glanced at his wife, then at Zhao Xinyu, thought for a while, and agreed:

"I'll ask her to call you back later, we have something to do outside."

"Well, that's fine. I'll hang up then, let's get busy first."

"Um."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Xin held the phone and sat back on the sofa.

As for the effort of these two steps, his brain began to spin rapidly, and after he sat down, he said to Yang Mi:
"Look at the phone. Sister Bingbing is with Zhang Ziyi. I've called you a few times. You have to call back later."

".it is good."

Yang Mi nodded, while Xu Xin turned to look at Zhao Xinyu: "Aunt Zhao, are you and Zhang Ziyi good friends?"

Hearing this, Zhao Xinyu still did not respond, but asked back:
"Xiao Xu, are you asking Bingbing to call me sister?" ".?"

Xu Xin was a little puzzled, but still nodded calmly: "Yes."

But Zhao Xinyu asked again: "Did she ask you to shout?"

"No, after we met, we called Teacher Liang at first, and then we ate two meals, and we were both colleagues in the factory and not a few years older than me, so we called sister. Actually, I want to call you more. Sister Zhao, you look too young.

"Hahahaha~!"

Zhao Xinyu couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.She seemed to be smiling happily.

That voice is worthy of being a singer.

After laughing, she shook her head helplessly:
"You kid. You're sweet-talking. Just call me auntie~ Don't call other people indiscriminately. It's easy to be inferior~"

Xu Xin paused again, then laughed dryly: "Haha, yes, Aunt Zhao~"

"Yeah. If you should call me aunt, you have to call me aunt. If you really want to call me sister, it's not appropriate."

"Oh, I see."

Xu Xin nodded under Zhao Xinyu's smiling expression. "Get in the car first, I'll smoke a cigarette."

Beside the Volvo, Xu Xin took out the cigarette case and lit a cigarette for himself.

And Yang Mi also knew that there were too many people at the moment, so she nodded, opened the car door with the key, and asked:
"Zhang Ziyi called me 4 times, Liang Bingning called me [-] times... Shall I come back?"

"Wait first." "Okay."

She got into the car directly.

Xu Xin was standing at the front of the car, and the cold wind and smoke turned into puff after puff of mist.

But none of this fog could compare to the steam that his brain was running at full speed right now.

He felt that his brain was now a gigantic steam engine.

Spade after spade of nicotine was pumped into his brain just to get the brain excited enough to think about things more conveniently. After all.
Zhao Xinyu's words just now contain too much information!The kind that makes his skin crawl!
but
Logically speaking, it shouldn't be.

Although I don't worry about the old man's affairs, it doesn't make sense. I don't know about this kind of thing, right?
when?
Why don't you have any impression of yourself?

What do you think?

Bit by bit, he savored what Aunt Zhao said in his mind.

For a while, the frown became tighter and tighter.Nope:

If the two really know each other, the old man met her personally when he visited the child two days ago.

These two look good

It looks completely unfamiliar!how can that be possible..
suddenly!

A bolt of lightning struck his mind.When is it coming?Where are you coming from?

He vaguely remembered that Xu Miao seemed to ask himself a question.That's it.
"Do you think where we used her?" Xu Miao asked, right?
If I remember correctly.Could it be that.
Xu Xin seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly, his face became strange.
Is it
"***."

With a cigarette in his mouth, he cursed into the air.
