Chapter 399 Zhou Xun
Yang Mi said this not only to leave a way out for himself, but also to act pitiful in front of Xu Kun to prevent him from taking advantage of the situation and not working hard.
Xu Kun pushed her hand aside and said disdainfully, "Take care of your own affairs first."
As it stands now, among all the women around him, the one who is most capable of causing trouble is Yang Mi - although Huo Siyan also likes to do small tricks, at least she won't do things so roughly.
If he really let Yang Mi be his personal assistant, Xu Kun couldn't even imagine how she would take advantage of the situation.
After being pushed away by Xu Kun, Yang Mi immediately sat very obediently, but she would steal glances at Xu Kun from time to time, looking nervous and attached.
This woman's acting skills on the screen are not that good, but she is indeed a talented actress in real life.
The meeting place was chosen by Zhou Xun. It was a two-story building slightly larger than a fly-infested restaurant. The specialty dish was secret lamb shanks. When the two entered, the hall was packed with people.
The cold air from the air conditioner mixed with the hot air from the mutton soup, causing the sunglasses to be covered with mist.
Xu Kun raised his sunglasses and led Yang Mi through the crowded hall to the counter. After giving the last digit of Zhou Xun's cell phone number, he was personally taken to a private room on the second floor by the proprietress.
Seeing that the proprietress couldn't help but look back, I knew that she was probably acquainted with Zhou Xun.
So when he got into the house, Xu Kun took off his sunglasses and mask and smiled at the proprietress.
The proprietress was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Do you want to order the dishes now, or should we order a pot of tea first and wait until everyone is gathered?"
Seeing that the other party did not recognize him, Xu Kun was somewhat embarrassed. It seemed that his popularity among the people was not as high as he had imagined.
Well, he has only starred in three TV series and one movie in total. Not to mention those who have been popular for more than ten years, even if he competes with the four most popular actors in terms of national popularity, he may not be able to surpass them.
The reason why he has a greater influence in the circle is mainly due to the identity bonus brought by being a director with a box office of over 100 million yuan.
After the proprietress had someone bring the tea, Yang Mi immediately and obediently helped to wash the cups and pour the tea.
Xu Kun asked casually, "You and Zhou Xun should know each other, right?"
"We know each other, but we're not close friends."
Yang Mi said honestly: "When I signed the contract, she was already famous, and I was relatively young at the time, so I could only meet her at events held by the company."
As he was speaking, the door of the private room was pushed open again.
Zhou Xun's palm-sized face popped up and then shrank back. Just when Xu Kun and Yang Mi were puzzled, a man with an embarrassed face was pushed into the private room by Zhou Xun.
Then Zhou Xun stood next to the man and introduced him in a serious tone: "Director Xu, this is my boyfriend Li Daqi. He was afraid that you would eat me out of hunger, so he had to come over to take a look."
Got~
Xu Kun and Yang Mi were counting on Zhou Xun for help, but they didn't expect that she would bring her own troubles instead.
When his thoughts were pointed out so bluntly, the embarrassment on Li Daqi's face seemed to be turning into anger.
But in the end he still held back, and gracefully extended his hand to Xu Kun and said, "Director Xu, don't listen to Xiaoxun's nonsense. I have heard of your great name for a long time, so I wanted to take this opportunity to get to know you."
Although he speaks Mandarin well, you can tell he is Taiwanese by his accent.
Zhou Xun's love history is well known to be rich, and judging from her performance just now, it is estimated that this love history will continue to be rich.
Xu Kun shook hands with Li Daqi, then pointed to Yang Mi next to him and explained, "This is Yang Mi, Rong Xinda's contracted artist. In fact, today she wanted to ask a senior sister from the same school some questions, and I was just accompanying her."
"I see, I see." The atmosphere at the beginning was a little awkward, but Zhou Xun was not affected at all. He sat down next to Yang Mi and said while unpacking the tableware: "I have already ordered lamb shanks downstairs, two mildly spicy and two spicy. If you want to eat something else, you can order it yourself. I'll just have this one today."
Then he turned around and asked Yang Mi, "What's wrong? Did you have a conflict with Director Li?"
She asked so directly that Yang Mi didn't know what to say.
But silence itself is an answer. Zhou Xun shook his head and said, "Director Li is a capable person, but unfortunately she is too strong-willed. She always thinks that everything is her credit and everyone should listen to her. Unless you can obviously suppress her, she will not care what you think."
After a pause, she added, "If you want Director Xu to help with the negotiations, then you're making a wrong decision. This will only make Director Li think that you are relying on someone else's power to go against her, which will most likely intensify the conflict."
Xu Kun shrugged slightly when he heard this. He had the same judgment, so he turned to Zhou Xun for help.
Li Daqi, who had just sat down, couldn't help but open his mouth to say something when he heard Zhou Xun's straightforward evaluation of his 'former mentor', but he hesitated and held back.
At this time, Yang Mi glanced at Li Daqi and said vaguely: "Actually, it's not a contradiction. It's just that Director Li said something that made me misunderstand. Later I found out that things were not the case, so we are stuck here and don't know how to end it."
Zhou Xun asked curiously: "What is it..."
"cough~"
Seeing that Zhou Xun had no intention of avoiding Li Daqi, Xu Kun had no choice but to cough dryly, stand up and say, "Mr. Li, do you want to go out and smoke a cigarette together?"
Li Daqi naturally understood what Xu Kun meant, so he quickly followed Xu Kun to the corridor outside.
Because Xu Kun was worried about meeting someone he knew, he walked to the window at the end of the corridor, stopped facing the window, took out a cigarette, and gestured to Li Daqi.
"Excuse me."
Li Daqi shook his head and declined, "I'm a stylist. If I smell of cigarettes while working, it will easily leave a bad impression on clients, so I quit smoking after graduating from college."
"It's better to quit. Actually, I want to quit, but I just can't make up my mind."
As Xu Kun spoke, he lit up a cigarette and puffed out smoke facing the screen window.
Perhaps he felt that it was a bit awkward to remain silent like this, so after a while, Li Daqi suddenly asked, "What kind of person is Mr. Wang from your company?"
Xu Kun looked back at him in surprise, and then he understood what was going on. It seemed that he was taking the blame for someone else today.
"Mr. Wang..."
He flicked the ash off his cigarette and said vaguely, "That's all. As a business partner, he's still very reliable."
It's not that Xu Kun didn't want to flatter Wang Zhonglei, it's just that Mr. Wang's reputation in this regard is already as bad as a wall of dirt - of course, A Da doesn't talk about A Er, but apart from not being interested in men, Xu's reputation is not much better.
Li Daqi was silent again.
After a long while, he exhaled heavily and sighed, "Many people say that I still have a childlike heart, and she is like a naughty elf, so I thought we would be a good match, so I tried every means to hold her in my hands, but in the end..."
Halfway through the conversation, he suddenly asked Xu Kun: "Director Xu, if it were you, what would you do?"
Does this make me look like a life coach?
If the awkward conversation continues, you have to choose between "persuading reconciliation" or "persuading separation".
Xu Kun decisively put out his cigarette, then returned to the box under Li Daqi's puzzled gaze, threw the remaining half box of cigarettes to Zhou Xun and said, "I think your situation may be more urgent than Yang Mi's. I'll give you the cigarettes and the person. It's better to be clear about it face to face than to miss it in a muddle."
