406. Scammer Who only Knows How to Make Big Promises (22)
Ji's father was still confused when his company called him to work overtime.
This is quite normal. Although state-owned enterprises have always been popular in the eyes of Chinese heads, only those who are in them know that there is a lot of work involved.
It is quite normal for the company to call and ask for overtime while you are resting.
But the good news is that if Ji's father's company works overtime temporarily, they will still give overtime pay, so everyone is not very opposed to overtime.
He lowered his head to look at the newspaper and touched his head again.
After making sure that he was not dreaming, he went out in a trance.
For some citizens of Shan City, this is just an ordinary day.
Ordinary weather, accustomed to work, although they saw in the newspaper that a director from Shan City was praised by the central government, they would not take it to heart.
After all, Shan City is so big, isn't it normal to produce one or two talents?
After reading the newspaper, he sighed and said, "This director is from our Shan City" and that was it.
But for some people, they were definitely shocked after seeing that report.
"The young director mentioned in this report is the son of the old Ji family, right?"
"Eighty percent of the time, didn't his son say before that he was going to make a movie? At that time, many people poured cold water on him and said that he was just wasting his time. Unexpectedly, the movie he made was praised by the central government. He is so promising."
"It also mentioned the old Ji and his wife. His wife's name is Wang Yuan, right? The names match. It is definitely their child."
"I know about "Struggle Road". My relative watched it before and called me to see it. He said it was very good and inspiring. I didn't expect it was shot by the son of the old Ji family. How old is this child? How did the old Ji raise him?"
Ji's father was actually reluctant to take the initiative to talk about his children in the unit.
When his son was young, he was fine. He had good grades and looked good. He would take the initiative to talk about his children without anyone saying anything.
But? Since the child went to college, he has gradually changed. His grades have dropped, and I don’t know what he is busy with every day. He has gathered a large group of people outside.
If it were someone else’s family, they might worry that their child would be led astray by those children outside.
But? Ji’s father and mother always vaguely feel that the dominant one in these "brother relationships" is their father Changze.
Not only does the child hang out with a group of people outside every day, but he is also unwilling to go home.
He always responds to his parents’ advice with an attitude of "You don’t understand me at all?"
Ji’s father naturally doesn’t want to mention his son to outsiders.
The son can’t be mentioned, and the daughter is also in jeopardy. After all, there are two brothers and sisters in the family. If you only talk about the daughter and not the son every time, the people in this unit are all smart and will definitely see the problem.
If it was just that he didn’t want to mention it at the beginning, then after the news that "Old? Ji’s son collected a large sum of money and took a group of people to the capital to say that he wanted to make a movie" spread to the unit, Ji’s father avoided the topic of his child even more.
No one has ever said this in front of him, but he can guess what his colleagues will say.
In short, they will definitely not use any good words.
It is definitely not the case that colleagues have a bad impression of him and gossip about him behind his back. It is just that they can't help but spread gossip. After talking about what Ji's father and his son did, the last sentence must be: Old Ji is so unlucky. How could he raise such a troublesome son.
Ji's father felt bad just thinking about it.
But today is different.
After thoroughly digesting the information that "my son has made progress", he raised his head and chest, and walked all the way. He only felt that the sky was so blue, the clouds were so white, and everything was so beautiful.
Facing the greetings of his colleagues, Ji's father also nodded and smiled, and he was so lively that he was not like him: "Good morning."
"Morning."
"I helped you with the work yesterday, remember to treat me to a meal."
"Xiao Chen, your new cup is good, it looks good."
In short, he almost put the four words "smiley" on his face.
The colleagues who had just gossiped about the topic of "Ji Changze was actually praised by the Central Committee" naturally understood why he was so happy.
They also laughed mischievously: "Oh, not bad, not bad, my son is very energetic after being praised by the Central Committee, and his working state is like being injected with three tubes of chicken blood."
"Mr. Ji, tell us how you educate your children. This Changze is really promising. Let alone my little boy being praised by the Central Committee, I am happy when he is praised by the teacher."
"Mr. Ji's little daughter, her name is Caicai, right? My daughter and his daughter are classmates. It is said that their grades are very good. Mr. Ji, how can you teach children so well? Both children are You have become a successful person, can you teach me? "
"This child is so promising, it really makes you proud, how old is he?"
Seeing that all his colleagues knew, Ji's father was proud in his heart, but he was humble on the surface:
"He is just a child,
Please don't praise him, if he knew that you uncles and aunts praised him so much, he would be prouder. "
We are all parents, although Ji's father said "Don't praise, don't praise", but they all knew that the other party must be thinking "Come on, come on, praise my son, don't be polite".
So they skipped Ji's father's humble words and continued to praise him.
Ji's father seemed to have become the center of the office all of a sudden.
Some asked him how to educate his son, some wanted to meet Ji Changze, the young director named and commended by the central government, and some at home wanted to go into the entertainment industry and asked if they could learn from Ji Changze.
Father Ji felt busier than ever before, as well as joyful and proud as never before.
Ji Mu's side is similar.
Of course Ji Changze didn't just praise his father. He praised Ji's mother for almost as long as Ji's father.
He keeps finding opportunities to talk to his parents in front of Mr. Jin, isn't it just so that they can be published in the newspaper as "parents of successful people"?
It is much easier to praise Ji's mother than to praise Ji's father. After all, she is a doctor by profession.
He has saved lives and helped countless people.
Ji Changze even mentioned an incident that happened before, saying that his mother Wang Yuan was a pediatrician.
When he was twelve years old, the kindergarten school bus had a car accident on the way home from school in the afternoon. All the children were sent to the nearest hospital where Wang Yuan was.
Wang Yuan was on vacation at the time, but after receiving the news, she immediately returned to the hospital. She was busy at the hospital for a whole day and night before returning home. As soon as she returned home, she fell asleep, and when she woke up, she went to work as usual.
She was out of town at the time and could never go back, but she still drove back quickly because she knew that one more person might be able to save a child's life.
His parents didn't specifically mention this to Ji Changze, but he saw it in his own eyes. He was very grateful to his parents for teaching him what responsibility and love are, and he never forgot this sense of responsibility when filming the movie.
Otherwise, Mr. Jin is also in the entertainment industry after all. Ji Changze just talked about it "by the way" when the two of them were chatting, but it was re-processed from Mr. Jin's mouth, and it was as touching as possible.
It's almost as if he saw it live and added a soundtrack.
Compared to her husband, who got the news from the newspaper, Wang Yuan, who has never been in the habit of reading newspapers, knew that her son was in the hospital when the news was in the newspaper.
She goes out as usual
, went to work as usual, but as soon as I got to the second floor, I saw several young nurses at the nurse station gathering together to watch something, and chattering while watching.
Although Wang Yuan is older than them, we usually get along well with each other. After all, they are all women, and they have more common topics to talk about.
"What are you looking at? Be careful not to let the director see you."
The director of their pediatric department is a relatively serious middle-aged man. He is usually very serious in speech, not only has excellent professional skills, but also has a great spirit of learning.
She doesn't care about her own spirit of learning, and she doesn't care about others. For example, Wang Yuan was told by her several times that she cared too much about her family and should read more books when she had free time.
Wang Yuan knew what she said was right. Although the young nurses were afraid of the director with a cold expression, she was not afraid.
His character is like that, he is a good person and there is nothing to be afraid of.
"Doctor Wang!"
The little nurses who were already enthusiastic about her were particularly excited today and hurriedly pulled her over: "We are talking about you!!!"
"Talk about me?"
Wang Yuan didn't know why: "Me? What's wrong?"
She hasn't met any bear parents recently.
"Look, are you following me? Why are we hiding this?"
The young nurses thought she didn't want to keep a high profile, so they all laughed and said, "This matter has been published in the newspapers. Even if you don't want to talk about it, you can't stop people from buying newspapers."
"Dr. Wang is just too low-key. If it were me, I would definitely be shouting everywhere."
"It's not enough to just yell. If it were me, I'd also give out wedding candies."
They were all young girls, and together the nurse station was full of youthful atmosphere. Only Wang Yuan was surrounded by them, looking confused.
"No, what on earth are you talking about? What about low-key wedding candy, me? Why can't I understand a word?"
Seeing that she didn't seem to be pretending not to know, a nurse handed her the newspaper and put her finger on the huge headline:
"Dr. Wang, why don't you know? We all know."
"Didn't your son tell you? This kid is really stable."
A nurse who spoke out suddenly realized that she was about the same age as Ji Changze, and stuck out her tongue again: "How can I say that I am most afraid of comparing myself to others? I am a few years older than Dr. Wang's son, but everyone else is..." So good, I just became a full-time employee.”
Wang Yuan was even more confused by what they said, so she picked up the newspaper and started reading.
After reading it, she was even more confused.
"Is this my Nagasawa up here?"
"Of course, you and your husband's name work
Isn’t it all about doing this? Doctor Wang, why don’t you know? Didn’t your child tell you? "
Wang Yuan: "..."
After being stunned for more than ten seconds, she regained her language skills: "I and his brother both know about him making movies, but we didn't expect..."
I didn't expect it to be so successful.
When Nagasawa called before, he did say that he thought the movie was well made, and everyone else on the crew also felt the same way.
He also said that when the movie is released and he earns money, he will buy a car for the family so that his father will not spend a lot of time walking to work every day.
He also said that he wanted to buy jewelry for Wang Yuan. How could she not have any jewelry when she was in her early forties?
Wang Yuan and her husband both listened.
But no one took it seriously.
After all, in their eyes, it would be good if Ji Changze's crew didn't subsidize the production, but it would be unrealistic to think about making money.
The two of them were very impressed by their child's kindness.
Parents don't expect their children to give anything in return, but if their grown-up children think of them when good things happen, they will definitely feel comforted.
It is precisely because of Ji Changze's confident attitude of "I will definitely succeed, parents, just wait for me to make a fortune and become a great director", Ji Aidang and Wang Yuan even less believe that this can come true.
It’s not that they don’t trust their children’s abilities.
It is really.
You say you can make a splash and earn one thousand or two thousand yuan, but they still believe it.
You said you could become a box office bomb and take China by storm. Their first reaction was that this kid really knows how to dream.
But now, the newspaper is in Wang Yuan's hands.
It was clearly written in black and white on the paper. The movie her son Ji Changze directed really became a box office bomb.
It has great public influence and was praised by the central government.
Wang Yuan's hand holding the newspaper almost shook.
"I?, I?, is this really my son?"
Seeing that the person concerned was still looking in disbelief, the little nurses who acted as the crowd started to chirp again.
"Of course it's your son. Did you see what's written on it?"
"Sister Wang, why don't you know? I thought you already knew it. Just now we said you were really good at hiding it."
Wang Yuan: "...The kid only said he was making movies, he didn't say he made such a big fuss..."
She stopped mid-sentence.
Ji Changze said it.
But none of them believed it.
Even now I have the newspaper in my hand, Wang Yuan
It still feels unreal.
Otherwise, she and Ji Aidang are a couple.
After thoroughly digesting the news, my first reaction was that she was not dreaming.
its not right.
She couldn't have such a sweet dream either.
"No, I have to make a phone call and ask my son."
They all picked up the phone and remembered that Ji Changze called yesterday and said he got on the train and should be home today.
She is still on the train at this moment, who should she call?
So the hand pressing the button paused and moved to something else.
"Hello, I'm looking for Ji Aidang."
After the couple met, Ji's father remembered that he was so shocked that he hadn't told his wife the news yet.
They gathered together to express their shock and confusion.
Ji's father: "How come Nagasawa is so successful?"
Ji’s mother: “How come you’re out of business?”
Ji’s father: “Why did you just quit?”
Ji’s mother: “Why did you just become successful?”
After going through it several times, the two reached an agreement.
When their son comes back, they will question him.
But? Wait until I put down the phone.
The couple, who were each at their own workplace, still couldn't help but let out a long sigh:
Why is this kid so successful?
****
While many people in the mountain city were busy because of the newspaper, Ji Changze's car finally arrived at the stop.
A group of people crowded out of the station and gathered together. The scene looked quite big.
Different from the time at the Capital Station, this time when others looked over, the boys all looked proud and proud, thinking to themselves: "They must be looking at our new clothes."
"These are clothes bought in the capital, so it's normal for everyone to look at them more."
Shanshi was the place where they grew up, and the group of people felt as if they were returning home in fine clothes, especially since they had not only the savings of the past two months, but also the bonus Ji Changze had just received.
Ji Changze has always believed that those who are capable work harder, and behind this idiom, there is also the following idiom: the more you work, the more you will gain.
The bonus he gave out was enough to keep these people excited for a long time.
Especially, their movie was released and played very well.
This also means that they are also on TV and in the cinema.
All the younger brothers have appeared without exception. Not to mention those who have some acting talent, each of them has played at least five roles.
Ji Changze also found those who had no talent and were not very good at speaking lines and were sent to learn skills and take charge of other affairs of the crew.
Just squeeze people in when the opportunity arises.
No need to talk or perform, just show your face.
After all, this is the first movie that everyone has participated in together, so of course we all need to take photos as a souvenir.
Ji Changze glanced at Rong An, who was carrying a schoolbag. Even though she had been praised by the newspaper as "the most expressive newcomer", she was still the same as before.
There was neither impetuousness nor pride. Even after she left the camera, she still stood there without applying any makeup, carrying an ordinary schoolbag.
However, because she is now somewhat famous, she still carefully wore a black peaked cap.
Rong An had no makeup and was dressed normally, and with the hat covering her face, people passing by didn't really notice that the heroine of "Struggle Road" was standing here.
Ji Changze: "Have you told your parents that you want to come back?"
Rong An shook his head: "I called home before departure and no one answered the phone. I guess they are taking care of my grandpa in the hospital."
She would make phone calls from time to time to ask about the situation at home. She also knew that although her grandfather's disease was severe, it was not incurable.
The rest of Rong's parents and Rong's parents didn't say anything. Did you hear clearly that Ji Changze was in charge of the crew? After he brought most of the crew from Shanshi to the capital, he only told Rong An to film well and not to go out alone. There was nothing more to say.
Rong An, who had always been protected by his parents, didn't notice anything was wrong, but Ji Changze was keenly aware that something might have happened to the Rong family.
This matter shouldn't be too big, but it can't be said to be small. It's probably very troublesome and there's no way to avoid it.
Otherwise, they would not avoid Rong An to deal with it.
What could it be?
Ji Changze immediately targeted Rong An's two cousins.
He had not forgotten the news he had learned from Rong An. The biggest reason why Rong's father and Rong's mother relented and allowed their only daughter to take the train to the capital alone to film was because of the two gangster nephews.
They are all relatives. Even if they don't like each other in their hearts, they certainly can't say it out loud. They can only find excuses to let Rong An leave home.
Ji Changze knew what was going on, so he led the people out of the station and found a phone number to call.
Ji's mother quickly answered the phone: "Hello, who is this?"
"Mom, it's me."
As soon as Ji Changze's voice came out, Ji's mother's tone suddenly became high:
"Nagasawa? Are you here? You damn kid, you didn't even tell me our arrival time. Just wait there. Your dad and I will come to pick you up right now."
Ji Changze quickly stopped her: "No, don't come. We have to have a meal together."
"Do not worry
Mom, you've gone back to Shanshi and you're still afraid of me? Is it lost? After dinner, An An and I went back together. "
After persuading Ji's mother, Ji Changze asked as if unintentionally:
"By the way, are Uncle Rong and the others busy? Before An An got on the train, she wanted to call them and say she wanted to go home, but no one answered."
As expected, Ji's mother didn't notice it and asked cautiously: "Is An'an by your side?"
Ji Changze glanced at Rong An, who was carrying his schoolbag and looking towards the road: "She is at the other end and can't hear me. Mom, do you want to talk to her? Then I'll ask her to come over."
"No, I'm telling you, don't tell An An. Didn't her grandfather originally live with An An and her uncle's house? When your uncle Rong was working outside, he gave up everything at home because he thought he wouldn't be able to go back to see the old man often. Have property."
"The two brothers originally agreed that your uncle Rong would send money back every year, and the old man would ask his eldest brother to support him, and they would share the money equally when he got sick. But this time, An'an's grandfather had more money for the illness, and her uncle had no conscience. Just leave the old man and run away."
Ji Changze understood what Ji's mother said.
To put it simply, although Father Rong and Uncle Rong An live in the city and the other in the village, their family backgrounds are actually about the same.
Father Rong had accumulated his own savings over the years, and Uncle Rong An had obtained all the land and house by dividing the family.
Originally, the two brothers agreed to share the medical expenses equally to treat the elderly person, which would cause bleeding but not damage the bones.
As a result, Uncle Rong An was unwilling to treat me.
He did something cunning and ran away with his wife and children while Rong's parents were not at home.
Rong's parents called him, but he didn't answer the phone. Later, he finally answered the phone and said that he really had no money.
Naturally, Father Rong would not give up.
At the beginning, he also mentioned that the old man should follow him to the city and he would support him, but it was Uncle Rong An himself who said that the old man would stay in the village and he would take care of him.
It's fine now. Rong's father gave up all the family's property for his father. As a result, uncle Rong'an took advantage of him. When it's time to contribute, he wants to retreat?
Nothing in the world is that cheap.
The two had a big quarrel and broke up.
Rong's father had no intention of covering up for his eldest brother for half a year, and rumors quickly spread in the village.
The result may be that they feel that the two families have broken up and there is no need to maintain any relationship anymore, or maybe they are resentful that their reputation has been ruined.
Rong An's two cousins found a few more gangsters, and a bunch of idle gangsters hung around the school gate all day long.
When I saw a student, I just stared at him and was asked about it.
Just say that you are a relative of Rong's father and mother, Rong's mother, and call the police. They really didn't do anything.
Her parents have to take care of the elderly, use up their savings, and face pressure from school. Naturally, they are very busy and rarely have time to go home.
Ji Changze listened to the whole story and sighed with emotion that Rong An's two gangster cousins were not self-taught. This was called family education.
He didn't reveal anything to Ji's mother, he just nodded and agreed to what she said about letting Rong An stay at their house for a few days.
As soon as he hung up the phone, he immediately turned around and clapped his hands, still wearing a calm expression:
"Come on, come on, find the clothes and remaining tattoo stickers that I bought for you to play gang members."
"Get dressed and taped, let's get to work."
Demo, he is the director.
Not to mention the gang members, even the Eight Immortals in Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, Ji Changze can get rid of them if he wants to.
So, the time when students get out of school.
Rong An's two gangster cousins stood at the door as carelessly as ever, smiling maliciously at every passing student. The students who looked at them quickly ran past with their heads lowered in fear.
Seeing this, the "brothers" around them laughed wildly, making other students even more afraid to go this way.
Noticing the fearful looks in the students' eyes when they looked in their direction, they became more and more proud and laughed louder.
Smiling and laughing, they discovered that the students seemed not to be looking at them, but behind them.
later?
How dare these little bastards ignore them and pay attention to other things? ?
A group of people turned around with a rampant smile.
They faced a group of 80 strong men with tattoos on their arms, flying dragon patterns on their bodies, hugging their arms and raising their chins, looking at them indifferently.
They were different in size, but each of them had a fierce momentum, as if they had been bloody from the mountains of swords and the sea of fire.
Several gangsters were suppressed by this terrible momentum and dared not breathe. They looked at these people in fear.
These people, these people must have seen blood.
They are real *gang members.
Under the gaze of several people, the tallest man walked out of the crowd and sneered:
"Boy, where are you from? How dare you flutter in our territory."
"Why don't you ask around? Everyone in these ten miles and eight villages doesn't know that this place is our base camp."
Several people: "..."
They almost peed in fear at the other party's cold and domineering gaze like looking at ants.
"Yes, I'm sorry, we were wrong, really wrong."
They were really about to cry, stammering and begging for mercy:
"We didn't expect that your big, base camp..."
"It's elementary school..."
