Chapter 622 Give Him a Hat

Zhaoyang District, Wangjing West Road.

There is a barbecue restaurant called Jingpeng Chuanwu.

Although the environment is a bit simple, the taste is excellent and it is well-known in the barbecue industry in Beijing.

Wangjing pork loin, grilled chicken feet, and lamb skewers are all the store’s signature dishes.

Especially the Wangjing pork tenderloin, which is tender, juicy, spicy and delicious. Once you start eating it, you can’t stop.

Chen Zhixi and Pan Yuemin found an empty seat and sat down.

During the conversation, she asked: "Can the filming of Soul Ferry be completed smoothly before the end of the year?"

"It's not a big problem. I only have a few scenes left to shoot."

After saying that, Pan Yuemin picked up the menu and ordered a few signature dishes.

There was a fat boy standing next to the two of them. I guess he had just had his winter vacation and was helping out at home.

Chen Zhixi glanced at the menu and said, "Boss, one more serving of roasted leeks, one more serving of roasted green peppers, um... and one more serving of roasted eggplant. Oh, is the eggplant green?"

"Sister, the eggplants here are all purple-red, there are no green ones."

"Then don't do it."

The little fat boy was puzzled and scratched the back of his head, but he didn't ask any more questions: "Okay, wait a moment, I'll be there soon."

Pan Yuemin also didn't quite understand and looked at his friend: "When did you start eating vegetarian? Are you trying to lose weight?"

"Today is a day that goes well with the color green." Chen Zhixi raised his eyebrows mysteriously.

"Is there anything like this?" He was glowing green and looked confused, not understanding what it meant.

Soon, the little fat boy came over with steaming skewers.

As they ate and chatted, Chen Zhixi casually asked, "After the Chinese New Year, Ding Ding will be four years old, right?"

Ding Ding is the child of Dong Jie and Pan Yuemin, born in 09.

"His birthday is on the 5th of this month." Pan Yuemin showed a fatherly smile on his face.

"Isn't that the day after tomorrow?"

"Ah."

Chen Zhixi hesitated for a few seconds: "Did Dong Jie ask you to celebrate on your birthday?"

Pan Yuemin's expression froze and he shook his head slowly. After their relationship broke down, Dong Jie took the child back to her parents' home.

"Tell me about yourself."

Chen Zhixi was angry at him for not fighting back, so he picked up a bunch of leeks and threw them into his bowl: "Eat yours."

“I don’t like eating this stuff.”

"Everything happens once. You get used to it after eating it for a while."

Chen Zhixi continued to ask: "If you two divorce, have you ever thought about who the child will be with?"

Pan Yuemin was silent.

“Is Dong Jie a twin?”

"No, she is the only daughter."

"Then do you know your father-in-law's character?"

"There is absolutely no problem with my father-in-law's character. He has been a diligent worker all his life."

Chen Zhixi grinned and said, "This may just be a surface phenomenon."

"You spoke strangely today. What's going on? Tell me straight away." Pan Yuemin frowned.

"Okay!" Chen Zhixi said without further ado.

He took out his cell phone from his pocket, unlocked it and quickly flipped to the photo album, which contained a sensitive video.

"This..." Pan Yuemin's expression suddenly became extremely complicated.

In fact, he had already vaguely guessed this result, but had been deliberately avoiding it.

After all, Dong Jie and Wang Dazi's appearances make it hard for people to associate them with the word "cheating".

"I'm completely giving up this time."

Chen Zhixi grabbed a bunch of green peppers, put it down just when it was about his mouth, and threw it into the other person's bowl again, which was bad luck.

After a long while, Pan Yuemin came back to his senses and said in a low and frustrated tone: "Where did you get the video?"

"The paparazzi sent it to me."

"A few days ago, she specifically warned me not to hire paparazzi to secretly take photos of her. So, did you arrange for the paparazzi?"

"Otherwise, everyone would be as honest as you, taking the blame on themselves and letting her live happily and carefree." Chen Zhixi's tone was full of disdain.

Pan Yuemin was silent again.

Chen Zhixi took a sip of beer and said, "Now that we have the video, what are you going to do with it? President Lu has already informed me this morning. If necessary, the company can provide you with support in public opinion. This can also be regarded as a welcome gift for you after you signed the contract with Sijiu Entertainment."

Sijiu Entertainment is the agency founded by Jiang Qiuyun.

Liu Shishi holds 85% of the shares and Jiang Qiuyun holds 15%.

The two characters "Sijiu" are taken from the "Shi" in Liu Shishi's name and "Qiu" in Jiang Qiuyun's name, which are homophonic.

Seeing that he was silent, Chen Zhixi said, "My suggestion is that you hold it in for now, let her brag for a few more days, and continue to collect evidence.

When Soul Ferry starts airing next year, all the details will be revealed at once. Don’t forget that you signed a profit-sharing agreement with the crew, not a fixed salary.”

"But I'm worried that this will hurt Ding Ding."

Chen Zhixi was so angry that he wanted to curse: "Do you think you can suppress this matter if you want to? How long can you suppress it? The two of them are hanging out together, and sooner or later they will be discovered by other paparazzi.

Who do you think you are? Why should the paparazzi listen to you? If you had the influence of Mr. Lu, this matter might really be suppressed. But what about you? You have nothing!"

"Speaking of Ding Ding, as a mother, did she ever consider her son's feelings before doing such a thing? Can you rest assured to leave the child to her?

What if a stepfather comes and beats the child three times a day? What would you do? If I were you, I would think about how to get the child back when the divorce happens!"

Chen Zhixi's series of words were like a sharp knife, piercing into Pan Yuemin's heart, causing blood to spurt out.

Pan Yuemin held his head and whispered in pain.

"I want to be quiet."

"It's such a time, and you still want some quiet time." Chen Zhixi teased and comforted his friend.

"I say, Da Pan, why didn't I realize that you have no ambition before? Mr. Wu has already checked it out for you. Wang Dazhi's wife is Dai Lu, who graduated from Beijing Film Academy. They held their wedding in their hometown in Shaanxi in 10."

"It's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. When Soul Ferry becomes popular, I'll ask Mr. Lu to get you some good resources. When you become a top star, you can also cuckold him and let him have a taste of it. Even if the media exposes this, everyone will definitely praise you as a real man!"

"It's just that Dai Lu's appearance is a little ugly, so you're at a disadvantage, but fortunately she doesn't have any children. If you can do it without anyone noticing..."

Pan Yuemin: “.”

Seeing his strange look, Chen Zhixi coughed and explained: "Don't look at me like that, this was Mr. Wu's idea, I was just repeating it."

After hearing this, Pan Yuemin rubbed his face and was speechless.

But he had to admit that although Chen Zhixi's words were a bit extreme, they were not without reason.

Although he didn't want to hurt the child, the news would be exposed sooner or later, and he really couldn't feel comfortable letting the child grow up with the other person.

Since things cannot be avoided, let's just maximize the benefits.

When he thought of this, he nodded and said, "I've figured it out. I'll do as you say."

"Think it through?" Chen Zhixi was stunned: "No, I'm just kidding. If you really want to, that's fine. I'll send you Dai Lu's photo and information right now."

"What?" Pan Yuemin's forehead was full of black lines, and he said depressedly: "What I said is, let's keep this matter under wraps for now, and wait until "Soul Ferry" starts airing before exposing it completely. During this time, I will prepare and sort out the divorce lawsuit."

"Smart!" Chen Zhixi raised his glass: "Based on what you said, I will go to Mr. Liu to help you get a good role."

"Mr. Liu? Didn't you just say Mr. Lu?"

Chen Zhixi smiled and said, "Boss Lu is a very principled person. Often, if an actor and a role don't fit, no matter how close they are, it won't help. Boss Liu is different. Oh, that's Liu Shishi, your future boss."

Pan Yuemin: “.”

January 2, New Year's Eve.

Now that her old mother has come to Beijing, Lu Jia and her husband have agreed not to go back to her mother-in-law’s house for the New Year.

Zhou Mingyuan had no objection.

At this moment, Ms. Li Rulan and her sister-in-law Chen Xueqing are busy preparing the New Year's Eve dinner.

New Year’s Eve dinner is not easy to prepare for a family of three.

Lu Yuan's family of three, Lu Jing's family of three, and Lu Jia's family of four, a total of ten people.

The yard was filled with joy, with small red lanterns hung high.

There is a dish in the New Year’s Eve dinner called stewed goose in an iron pot.

First, they had to take a stupid goose, kill it, remove the feathers, and chop it into pieces about seven centimeters square. The arduous task of catching the goose was given to Lu Yuan and Zhou Mingyuan.

At this moment, in front of the goose farm in the backyard, Lu Jia was cracking melon seeds, wearing a furry cotton coat, with two kids standing beside her, watching her brother and husband catch geese idly.

"Roll, roll, roll, roll~"

"Hey, why does it smell bad? I pooped."

"Ouch, it bites!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, the big star really doesn't work, he can't even catch a goose!"

Lu Jia taunted, "Don't grab the neck. The more you grab the neck, the more it will struggle. Grab the wings and gently tug at the lower abdomen, and the goose will be quiet."

"That's easy to say, why don't you try it?" Lu Yuan wiped the dirty water off his face, looking very disgusted.

Zhou Mingyuan echoed in a low voice: "That's right, it's easier to talk while standing."

Lu Jia couldn't hear clearly what they were saying about her, otherwise she would have taken out a handful of melon seeds from her pocket to fight back.

Zhou Qi was so anxious that he scratched his head and cheeks. He put a few melon seeds he had eaten into his mother's hand and shouted, "Dabai, run quickly. Don't let Dad catch you. Xiaobai, uncle is behind you."

The two geese were raised in the backyard for a while.

Every time he came, he treated them very tenderly and gave them names, Dabai and Xiaobai, but I didn't know how to tell them apart.

"Xiaobai, your uncle is going to catch you, bite him quickly, come on!" Zhou Yaoyao's little cotton jacket began to leak.

Seeing the two geese about to be caught, Zhou Qi realized belatedly: "Mom, why are you arresting Dabai and Xiaobai?"

"Why? To eat, of course."

Lu Jia ate the melon seeds that her son had peeled for her and smiled maliciously: "Chop the goose into small pieces and stew it in a pressure cooker. It's so delicious. I guarantee you'll want more after eating it."

"No." Zhou Qi almost cried: "Mom, don't eat Dabai."

"Then eat Xiaobai." Zhou Yaoyao whispered into her brother's ear like a devil.

Zhou Qi's eyes were filled with tears, and he shook his head repeatedly: "No."

It took the two grown men quite a bit of effort to catch the goose.

In just a short while, the two of them figured out some tricks.

The personalities of geese and dogs are a bit similar. If you gently stroke the goose's neck with your hand, the goose will basically lose its temper and you can then bully it as you like.

Of course, before you ravage it, you still need to do some work.

That is to feed the geese some Moutai.

The principle is very simple, and anyone who has experience in slaughtering geese knows it.

When the goose drinks wine, the pores will naturally expand, making feather removal much easier, and the goose meat will also emit a unique wine aroma.

The two geese were quite fat, and they needed at least one or two glasses of wine to get them completely drunk.

The process of pouring wine is a complete enjoyment for the goose.

After two glasses of wine, I started to feel dizzy and shaky, just like a drunk person.

Wait a little longer and the goose will slowly fall asleep.

"Uncle, can we not eat Dabai?" Zhou Qi was frightened and begged bitterly while wiping her tears.

"No, no, who said we should eat." Lu Yuan answered casually, telling a lie without thinking: "The weather is so cold, you can turn on the heater, but they don't. It's New Year's Day, give them some wine to warm up their bodies, so they can sleep more comfortably at night."

Zhou Qi believed it and turned to look at his old father with sobs: "Dad, then give Dabai more to drink."

Zhou Mingyuan followed up with a lie: "No, your grandfather himself can't bear to drink Moutai, and he will curse if you feed him more."

"Dad and uncle are both big liars." Zhou Yaoyao exposed them without any hesitation.

Lu Yuan glanced at her and said, "You didn't pass the math test again."

"Hmph!" She was speechless and could only pout her lips and pretend not to hear.

"slacker student."

"Oh, bad uncle, I'm going to complain to grandma!" Zhou Yaoyao stepped on him angrily, turned around and ran away.

Zhou Qi squatted on the spot, stretched out his index finger, poked the goose's head, and muttered: "Uncle, don't eat Xiaobai either."

"No, no, Xiaobai is going to sleep. Look how dirty it is. Your dad and I will take off its clothes and wash them. Go back to the house and watch over grandpa. Don't let him come out. We will give Dabai and Xiaobai some wine to drink."

"Okay, I will definitely not let grandpa find out!" Zhou Qi expressed his responsibility and ran into the house.

"Hiss!" Zhou Mingyuan frowned. "I say, can you please stop fooling my son? He is your nephew, and he is almost fooled."

Lu Yuan said: "Boys are like tea leaves. They need to be dried, baked, and go through all kinds of baptisms and tortures before they can emit fragrance."

"Haha, you'd better remember this sentence, we're waiting for Shishi to get pregnant." Zhou Mingyuan curled his lips.

"Uh" Lu Yuan was embarrassed.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and bleed and remove the hair! Otherwise, what will happen if that little fool comes out?"

There was a large round table in the living room where we were having the New Year's Eve dinner.

Lu Jing asked with a smile: "Qiqi, does Dabai smell good?"

"Delicious!" Zhou Qi's little mouth was stained with oil, and she happily raised the big goose leg in her hand, completely forgetting that she had been crying just now.

"Will you eat it again in the future?"

"Eat!" He paused and looked at Li Rulan: "Grandma, I'll raise you next time."

He looked at his left hand, put down the goose leg, and snapped his fingers. Then, he spread his hand and said, "Raise five!"

"Hahaha." Everyone laughed.

Lu Minghua raised his glass: "Come on, come on, cheers."

"Cheers!" Ten arms stretched out at the same time, and the cups in their hands clinked against each other.

Lu Minghua glanced at his niece and joked with a smile: "Xiaoyuan got engaged this year, Xiaojing should also try to get married next year."

Lu Jing blinked, secretly regretting that he shouldn't have said anything just now, and silently turned his head to look at the TV.

The Spring Festival Gala was playing on TV, but not many people paid attention to it. They just listened to it for fun.

Ever since Lao Zhao was absent from last year's Spring Festival Gala, everyone always felt that the Gala was lacking something.

"Erkang is out!" Second Aunt Chen Xueqing shouted.

Everyone looked over.

Lu Jing opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but he was afraid that he would be criticized by everyone, so he closed his mouth.

"Aunt, that's not Erkang, his name is Cao Yunjin."

Lu Yuan smiled and explained: "You know Deyun Club, the one my dad and second uncle always like to listen to. He used to be Guo Degang's eldest apprentice, but they broke up in 2010, and he founded Tingyunxuan."

"Why did it break down?"

Second uncle Lu Mingyao took a sip of wine and continued, "I read the online reports. This kid was quite crazy when he first became famous."

"But his talent is indeed good, at the level of a mainstay of the Deyun Club. Compared with his peers in Deyun Club, there is a huge gap between him and the world." Lu Minghua sighed while looking at the TV.

Cao Yunjin’s current reputation and public opinion are extremely bad, and he is regarded as a traitor by many people.

Lu Jing couldn't help but say, "Actually, there is something fishy going on here. He became famous at a young age and is a bit arrogant, but his master and mistress did some things that were really excessive."

Second Aunt is not interested in inside information, and she doesn't pay much attention to the entertainment industry, except for her nephew.

"You're quite nosy. Why, you like this one?"

This mother can't be kept anymore. Lu Jing lowered his head helplessly.

The crosstalk performed by Cao Yunjin is called "It's Not My Fault", which tells the story of a young couple breaking up.

In the crosstalk, he gave the example that his girlfriend disliked his ugly appearance, and even used Lu Yuan's appearance as a reference standard, and also mentioned "New World" in passing.

When Lu Yuan's name came out of his mouth, the audience in the first three rows of the Spring Festival Gala suddenly burst into cheerful laughter.

I don’t know what other people think, but Lu Yuan feels that these extras are quite fake and they laugh all the time.

"Oh, that's amazing, my stupid brother. Now you don't have to perform on the Spring Festival Gala. Your legend will also be remembered on the Gala." Lu Jia scooped a bowl of soup for each of his son and daughter.

"Uncle is the best!" Zhou Qi waved his hand.

How could Lu Yuan swallow his anger? He picked up the chopsticks and said, "Big goose butt, my sister likes it."

Li Rulan looked at this scene, especially the noisy Zhou Qi and Zhou Yaoyao, and found it very interesting.

She said meaningfully: "There are ten of us this year. With the blessing of our ancestors, there will be two more next year."

Lu Yuan didn't understand his mother too well, so he immediately shifted the blame to someone else and smiled, "Xiao Jing, hurry up and try to find a boyfriend next year."

"Cough cough cough!" Lu Jing was concentrating on drinking the soup, trying to reduce his presence as much as possible, and he almost choked.

I can't keep this brother anymore.
