1977: The beginning of the blind date with the daughter of the king

Chapter 545 Shen Juncheng Asks for Help

After coming out of Wang Yang's office with Tian Zhuangzhuang, the two of them went outside and saw Chen Kaige standing there angrily in the yard.

Liang Zuo seemed to be saying something, while Zhu Lin looked helpless.

As for Wang Shuo and the others, they are gone!

Is this something happening?
"What happened? Where are Wang Shuo and the others?"

Li Changhe asked Zhu Lin curiously.

Zhu Lin gestured towards the front door and said, "I just had a fight with Lao Chen. I'm leaving now!"

"quarrel?"

Li Changhe was a little surprised.

Liang Zuo on the side said helplessly: "It's not really a quarrel, it's just that everyone has some different opinions on the evaluation of the movie, so Lao Chen and Wang Shuo got stubborn."

"In the end, they couldn't agree on anything, so Wang Shuo and his group left."

"What do you mean by uncooperative? I think that boy is here to pick a fight."

Chen Kaige said angrily at this time.

Hearing this, Li Changhe smiled and patted his shoulder.

"Okay, I was wrong. Forget his personality. Don't be angry."

"Besides, I don't know what he said, but when we make a movie, the first thing is that it can withstand criticism. Movies are for the general public, and everyone has different tastes. There will be praise, and naturally there will be criticism. We must be able to tolerate the public's evaluation."

"If criticism is not allowed, then praise is meaningless!"

"right?"

Li Changhe said casually.

Liang Zuo's eyes lit up.

"Changhe, you really speak golden words!"

"Yes, if criticism is not free, then praise is indeed meaningless."

"Old Chen, I think Chang He is right. When we make a movie, there will definitely be people who don't like it. Even if there are people who criticize it, we just need to accept it humbly. There is no need to argue."

Liang Zuo also started to persuade Chen Kaige at this time.

Chen Kaige muttered at this time: "It's not that I can't tolerate criticism, it's just that the boy's mouth is too venomous."

"Changhe, I'm sorry, I made your friend angry and left!"

After all, these people were friends brought by Li Changhe, but now they were driven away by him. To be honest, it was a bit disrespectful to Li Changhe.

"It's okay. They are friends I just met today. I'll make an appointment with them later."

"But speaking of it, Wang Shuo is indeed not compatible with you!"

Li Changhe said with a smile at this time.

Although both of them are literature lovers, Wang Shuo and Chen Kaige are really two extremes.

Chen Kaige likes contemporary literature, especially the likes of Bei Dao and Mang Ke. Strictly speaking, he is an orthodox fan of contemporary literature.

But Wang Shuo is different. This guy laughs, scolds and jokes without restraint. In fact, he is a "non-mainstream" in the literary world of this era. So in terms of direction, the two people are going in opposite directions, so it is normal for them to have disputes.

And there is another problem with Lao Chen, which is that he is narrow-minded and too arrogant, and there are not many people who can catch his eye.

So in later generations, when Wuji was criticized for the "murder case caused by a steamed bun", he directly sued the person, shocking the public.

To put it bluntly, I just can't stand being laughed at!
Therefore, when these two people get together, Li Changhe probably won't be able to talk to each other. This can be regarded as negligence on his part, as he forgot about this.

"Yes, I feel the same way. We are not compatible. I get angry after just a few words!"

Chen Kaige also said this at this time.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go and have dinner together tonight to celebrate. You've worked hard during this period of time."

"Especially Old Tian. I think he has lost weight now. We need to nourish him well."

Tian Zhuangzhuang has indeed looked a lot older during this period, and the beard on his face has not been trimmed much. He is obviously in his twenties, but he looks like he is forty.

"Then we should have a good meal. How about Sichuan cuisine today? How about going to Emei Restaurant?"

When it comes to food, Chen Kaige became interested and took the initiative to choose a place.

The main thing is to eat with Li Changhe, and we can definitely go to all the major restaurants in Beijing, because this guy has foreign exchange coupons.

This is a rare opportunity for them to enjoy a good meal. Normally, even if they have money, they cannot go to these restaurants.

Because in addition to money, tickets are also required, and sometimes the unit must be given priority. They are all students, unlike Li Changhe, who can easily list a large unit.

"As long as they don't have any objections, I don't care!"

Li Changhe then looked at Liang Zuo and Tian Zhuangzhuang.

Tian Zhuangzhuang nodded: "Sichuan cuisine is fine too."

Liang Zuo smiled and said, "I have no objection. I'll just follow you and have a good meal."

"Let's go to the Emei Restaurant!"

A group of people then got on the car and drove towards Emei Restaurant.

Originally, Li Changhe didn't have much expectations for Emei Restaurant. He had eaten at Emei Restaurant when he was in Beijing later in his life and it was quite average.

Not to mention Emei Restaurant, he even went to eat at the famous Sichuan Provincial Office in Beijing, wasting a huge amount of money and the meal was indescribable.

But he didn't expect that what he ate this time was really a surprise to him. It was excellent Sichuan cuisine.

Maybe these chefs in the 1980s were more serious about their work.

After the meal, they sent a few people home, and Li Changhe and Zhu Lin also returned to the Overseas Chinese Community.

"I'm a little uncomfortable with Xiaoxue's departure."

After returning home, Zhu Lin suddenly sighed and said to Li Changhe.

After hearing this, Li Changhe was speechless.

What’s the matter? You two are used to your life, right? Are you thinking that my coming back is an eyesore?
"After the New Year, let's go to the Magic City together!"

Li Changhe said to Zhu Lin at this time.

After listening to this, Zhu Lin suddenly looked at Li Changhe and asked vigilantly: "What are you going to the Magic City for?"

"Do you miss Xiaoxue too?"

"What are you thinking about?"

"We need to dub our movie!"

"Do you think we'll still need to use Chinese when we exhibit in France? We'll have to use English, and probably French subtitles."

"Director Wang recommended the Shanghai Film Studio, saying that there are many excellent translators in Shanghai. We will take the film there and quickly prepare the English version and subtitles, and then send it to France for the exhibition."

"Then let's go to France together!"

Li Changhe then changed the sensitive topic without leaving any trace.

"Going to France?"

"Shall we go too?"

As expected, Zhu Lin was attracted by Li Changhe's new topic and asked curiously.

"why are you not going?"

"You are the filming team. I will ask the company in Hong Kong to send an invitation and you can all go together."

"I'll take you on a tour around Europe then."

Zhu Lin frowned at this time: "Changhe, if I go out, will it affect your status?"

"After all, if you contact me outside, will you be caught with any clues?"

"And when we go out, it seems we need to be accompanied by a foreign affairs officer, right?"

Zhu Lin seemed quite hesitant at this moment.

Of course she was willing to go out and play with Li Changhe.

However, after knowing Li Changhe's identity, she was worried whether it would bring trouble to Li Changhe.

"It's okay, we are going to Europe, not the United States."

"And even if they were caught, it wouldn't matter. They don't care at all."

"Japan is still secretly trading technology with the Soviet Union, but nothing has happened." "I'm just making money there, not trying to find out their state secrets, so it's not a big deal."

"Besides, it's not that easy to find my whereabouts."

Li Changhe said nonchalantly.

In fact, he has already laid a solid foundation in the United States. He doesn't believe that the Rockefeller family has not found some clues about his identity. After all, Bao Zeyang's identity actually came out of nowhere and has many loopholes.

But as Bao Yugang said at the beginning, some loopholes are actually meant to make up for domestic negligence, and it is not a big deal to find out that Li Changhe came from the mainland.

What they really want to keep secret is that Bao Zeyang and Li Changhe are not the same person.

"Forget it, let Lao Tian and the others go, I won't go."

"It's better to be safe than sorry. I don't want you to be threatened overseas because of me."

"Anyway, there will be opportunities to go abroad sooner or later."

"Don't go there when the time comes. Let your subordinates receive them. When you are outside, safety is your top priority. If there is anything, tell them when you come back. Don't contact them when you are overseas."

Zhu Lin thought about it, shook her head, and decided not to go.

She didn't want to leave Li Changhe with identity risks because of a momentary impulse.

She couldn't afford the consequences of that.

After listening to this, Li Changhe looked at Zhu Lin with emotion.

He had no way to repay such thoughtful care, so he could only repay her with his body.

So that night, Li Changhe used all his skills to repay his wife's love time and time again.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is the Spring Festival.

Early in the morning, the two packed their things, changed into new clothes that they had prepared in advance, and then drove back to the family compound.

This van has come back several times, and Li Changhe is too lazy to hide it anymore.

Moreover, if I drive the car back, if there are drunk people at home, I can send them home so that they don't have to be crowded upstairs without even a place to rest.

"uncle!"

As soon as I entered the door, my niece rushed over to me.

At this moment, she was wearing an exquisite dress with a bow on her neckline, and she was dressed like a doll.

This was bought by Zhu Lin for her from the Friendship Store. In addition, Zhu Lin's own nephew and niece also bought a set each.

"Come on, uncle will take you to set off fireworks!"

Li Changhe picked up Nannan and said with a smile.

"Okay, go quickly!"

"You are so unruly, just like a child."

Zhu Lin rolled her eyes at Li Changhe. He was a man in his twenties, but he was setting off firecrackers with his niece.

"Go ahead, be careful, I'm going to help mom in the kitchen."

Zhu Lin took off her coat at this time, rolled up her sleeves, and walked towards the kitchen.

"Come on, come, I'll hold you."

Li Changhe picked up Nannan, took a string of firecrackers, and was about to go out.

"fragrant!"

"fragrant!"

At this time, Nannan hurriedly shouted at Li Changhe.

"fragrant?"

"What kind of fragrance?"

Li Changhe was a little confused.

"She asked you to light some incense. How can you light the fuse without any incense?"

Eldest sister Li Xiaojun happened to come over at this time and explained to Li Changhe.

Li Changhe suddenly realized and he remembered.

In this era, lighters are still a precious item. Even if you have one at home, you won’t let your children play with it.

The most common way for children to play with firecrackers is to light a long, thin stick of sandalwood and then use the lit end to start a fire.

That’s what Nannan was shouting.

"It's okay, we don't need incense, uncle has a better one."

Li Changhe said with a smile that he had a windproof lighter with him.

He smuggled this thing back and bought it as a gift for his family.

Although he doesn't smoke, people like Shen Yuchuan and Shen Juncheng are heavy smokers. Of course, they have lighters, but they definitely don't have such a high-end thing as the one in Li Changhe's hand.

Afterwards, Li Changhe took his daughter downstairs, found an open space, and started setting off the fireworks.

Just as the father and son were playing, a few bicycles came over from a distance.

Seeing Li Changhe and Nannan, someone in the car rang the bell.

Li Changhe turned around and saw Shen Juncheng's family.

"Uncle, aunt, you are here?"

Seeing this, Li Changhe hurried forward.

"Are you playing down there with your daughter?"

"Nannan, come here, your uncle has given you some New Year's money."

At this time, Shen Zhongyun waved to Nannan.

"Uncle, Happy New Year!"

Nannan ran over, knelt down on the ground, and prepared to kowtow.

"Okay, okay, we don't have to kowtow outside."

At this time, Shen Zhongyun hurriedly helped the little girl up, then took out a red envelope wrapped in red paper from his arms and stuffed it into Nannan's hand.

After all, Nannan is the only third generation in their family, and everyone in the family pays great attention to her.

"Mom and Dad, you guys go up first. I have something to talk to Changhe about."

Shen Juncheng parked the car at this time and spoke to Shen Zhongyun and the others.

"Okay, then, Nannan, come up with your uncle and see what delicious food he brought you."

Knowing that Shen Juncheng wanted to discuss serious matters with Li Changhe, Shen Zhongyun took Nannan back into the house.

"No, this is a gift I brought back for you."

At this time, Li Changhe threw the lighter in his hand to Shen Juncheng.

Shen Juncheng took it, looked at it curiously, and then fell in love with it at first sight.

After all, the crystal-clear and smooth silver-white shell, coupled with the exquisite shape, looks very artistic at first glance.

“Is this foreign?”

"Yes, it's made in the U.S., a windproof lighter, and the shell is made of pure silver. If you get poor someday, you can sell the shell for some money."

"Put kerosene in it. I'll give you a few bottles in the car later. It should be enough for you to use for a year or two."

Li Changhe said casually.

"This thing is good, I like it."

For people who love smoking, one thing is good cigarettes, and the other is a good lighter.

Shen Juncheng really likes this thing given by Li Changhe.

Putting the lighter into the inner pocket of his clothes, Shen Juncheng called Li Changhe to the side.

"Changhe, how is your relationship with Secretary Liang that you found from the Foreign Affairs Office last time?"

When they arrived at a deserted place, Shen Juncheng asked Li Changhe in a low voice.

Li Changhe smiled and said, "Did he go to the Beijing City Government and become your immediate superior?"
