Chapter 52
The manager also seemed to see the indifference between Gu Hai and Lu Minzhi.
Different from the confrontation between the two at the beginning, although the two of them also disliked each other at that time, in fact, they looked like children at odds in the eyes of outsiders, and they couldn't take it seriously.
But this time, it seemed that there was only the fake friendship left on the surface between them.
They greet each other with a smile, but there is no friendship left in that smile.
Lu Minzhi knew that Gu Hai couldn't be blamed for this, since different ways do not conspire against each other.
Gu Hai just felt that interacting with them was not practical, it is human instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
……
Lu Minzhi leaned lazily on the sofa. There were several scripts on the coffee table. Lu Minzhi flipped through them one by one, and finally chose a hanging fairy tale drama.
The agent smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to choose this one. In other scripts, you can play the leading role, but you chose this script for the leading role."
Lu Minzhi shrugged his shoulders: "I would rather choose the latter to play the leading role in a third-rate script and the second leading role in a top-notch script."
"You have matured a lot." Huang Yishan showed relief, "You used to obediently do whatever I chose for you, but now you have learned to be picky."
"People will grow up, and now I find that acting is also a good thing." Lu Minzhi picked up another script, looked at the agent, "Sister Yishan, do you dare to accept this director's play? This director is The famous black protagonist, look, the one who has acted in a TV series he knows before, who has not been scolded?"
Huang Yishan shrugged: "I didn't ask for this, it was sent by Baba, and they fell in love with you, saying that your temperament is very suitable for the male lead of this show."
"Fart!" Lu Minzhi said disdainfully, "The woman ran away with others and was still sticky behind his buttocks. He was so stupid to save his love rival. In the end, the love rival died. The woman had no choice but to choose him. He was happy It's like something, damn it, no wonder who plays who is bad, this fucking screenwriter is a fool, and even said that my temperament is similar, it's because their eyes grow on the ass!"
"But it's undeniable. Although these roles are controversial, those actors are indeed popular."
"It's hot. If you are scolded a lot, you will be mentioned a lot. I don't want this kind of fire. I think it's good for me to be like this!"
Huang Yishan scolded with a smile: "You talk too much, and you don't want to make progress!"
"Why don't I try to make progress, every role I play is the best I try to perform, how hard I am!"
Lu Minzhi's cell phone rang.
Lu Minzhi was taken aback when he saw the number, then got up and went outside to answer the phone.
"elder brother."
Lu Minzhi pressed the answer button, and a young girl's voice came from the phone.
"Jojo?"
Lu Minzhi was a little surprised.
This little girl named Qiao Qiao lived in the same orphanage as Lu Minzhi. She was only in her teens, but she was very cute and sensible.
Since he was reborn, Lu Minzhi seldom returned to the orphanage. He only made occasional phone calls and remitted some money back every year.
Lu Minzhi didn't want to face the antiquity of the former owner of this body, probably because he was avoiding something.
Lu Minzhi would only call during the Chinese New Year. The people over there may think that Lu Minzhi is busy with work, or they may think that Lu Minzhi is different from them after becoming a star, so the people over there have never taken the initiative to call. Telephone.
There was a cry in the little girl's voice: "Brother, come back quickly, mother is going to die..."
Lu Minzhi was startled: "What's going on? How could it be you calling, where are the adults in the courtyard?"
"The dean's mother has a very serious illness, but he didn't let us tell you, for fear of affecting your work. Mom misses you very much. She took your photos every day to look at them, so I secretly called."
Lu Minzhi was suddenly speechless, as if something was stuck in his throat, preventing him from opening his mouth.
Jiang Xiuqin, director of the orphanage, is a very patient and gentle woman in her 50s.
She herself has never had children due to physical reasons, and she divorced her husband for this reason, probably because she likes children too much, and has been working in the orphanage. After the old director of the orphanage retired a few years ago, the director's position fell on her head.
In the past, Lu Minzhi and Jiang Xiuqin had a very deep relationship.
Jiang Xiuqin likes children, and Lu Minzhi is very obedient and sensible, so she likes Lu Minzhi very much.
Later, every time Lu Minzhi called back, listening to Jiang Xiuqin's gentle voice, the kindness and concern in that voice made Lu Minzhi very ashamed, but he gradually fell in love with this woman.
Such a woman is a natural mother!
After a long time, Lu Minzhi said with difficulty: "Okay, Qiao Qiao, don't worry, I will go back."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Minzhi felt a little heavy.
Lu Minzhi comforted Qiao Qiao and promised to go back.He hung up the phone and went into the agent's office.
Huang Yishan saw that his complexion was not good, and asked strangely: "What's wrong? What happened?"
As soon as Lu Minzhi told her about the matter, Huang Yishan agreed.
Huang Yishan is not an unreasonable person, it would be really wicked if she delayed seeing her for the last time.
Moreover, Lu Minzhi was determined to leave, and Huang Yishan didn't dare to stop her.
Huang Yishan just asked: "Clean up, don't be recognized by others."
Lu Minzhi gratefully said: "I see, thank you, Sister Yishan."
Huang Yishan patted him on the shoulder: "It's okay, let's go."
Lu Minzhi called him and told him that he was going back to the orphanage.
Yao Lie asked, "How long will it take?"
"I don't know, and I don't know about Jiang's mother's condition. Let's go and see first." Lu Minzhi said, "Lingsha and I are not here, and no one will cook for you. You can go back to your own for a few days." Let's live in the house."
Yao Lie pondered for a while, then said pitifully: "Okay, then you can come back early."
Lu Minzhi coaxed him a few words like coaxing a child, and then went home to help pack his things, and put his bank card in his pocket, which was convenient in case he needed money.
The orphanage is not in this city, so Yang Dong drove and arrived in about three hours.
Fuli was in a small town in the countryside. The town wasn't very developed, but it wasn't too backward either.
There are many shops on both sides of the road, and there are not many high-end private cars.
Although Yang Dong's car is only more than 30 yuan, it is considered luxurious in this place.
Lu Minzhi showed the way, and Yang Dong drove directly to the orphanage in the town.
The older children in the orphanage have all gone to school, leaving some little Douding to play in the yard.
Lu Minzhi got the children's attention as soon as he got out of the car.
"Ah, Brother Minzhi is back."
"It's really Brother Min!"
"elder brother……"
A group of children gathered around, shouting and laughing.
There are also some younger children who don't have much impression of Lu Minzhi, but they don't want to lag behind when others are rushing forward.
Lu Minzhi took out the snacks from the car that he had just remembered to buy after passing by the roadside supermarket, and handed them to an older child to share among them, while Lu Minzhi himself went to the office of the orphanage.
Jiang Xiuqin was seriously ill, and the dean of the orphanage was no longer suitable, and now the former vice dean Wang was in this position.
The vice president knew Lu Minzhi, and he was flattered to see Lu Minzhi's surprise at the same time.
"Oh, isn't this Minzhi? Why are you back? Come, come, do it quickly."
"Aunt Wang."
Lu Minzhi's expression was indifferent. This Vice President Wang is a bit of a philistine, but he is not a bad person. In addition, Lu Minzhi is not the original Lu Minzhi at all, so he really can't be enthusiastic about her.
Lu Minzhi asked: "Aunt Wang, I heard that Jiang's mother is ill, so come back and have a look. What is the illness?"
Vice President Wang sighed heavily, and said in a slightly embarrassing tone: "It's breast cancer. The doctor said that the cancer cells had spread, and it wouldn't last for a few days. We sent her to the hospital, but she didn't want to spend the children's money, so she secretly Run back, it’s in the dormitory now, go and have a look.”
The welfare home has staff dormitories, and other staff in the welfare home are family members, and very few of them live in dormitories.
Jiang Xiuqin has been living in the staff dormitory since her divorce.
The orphanage rebuilt the staff dormitory a few years ago. The row of tile-roofed houses at the back of the orphanage has uniform blue wooden doors. The dormitory conditions are not bad.
Because it was early autumn, the daytime was not cold, and the glass windows of the dormitory were all open. Lu Minzhi was a little surprised to see Jiang Xiuqin's bedside figure in the dormitory.
"Song Cheng, I didn't expect him to come too..."
Lu Minzhi made some psychological preparations in his heart, and knocked on the door with a smile on his face. After the response from inside, Lu Minzhi pushed the door and went in: "Mom..."
Probably because Jiang Xiuqin and her own mother had something in common, Lu Minzhi shouted with sincerity and no psychological barrier at all.
Jiang Xiuqin was a kind and respectable mother, and Lu Minzhi didn't want him to leave regrets in her last days.
Jiang Xiuqin's face was sallow, her eyes were sunken, and she looked very unhealthy.
She looked at Lu Minzhi as if there was no surprise, and said very lovingly: "Minzhi is back, come, come to mom, let mom have a look."
For some reason, Lu Minzhi's eyes became moist, and his heart felt swollen and uncomfortable: "Mom..."
Lu Minzhi walked to the bed, bent down and hugged Jiang Xiuqin.
"Good boy." Jiang Xiuqin gently traced Lu Minzhi's face with her rough palm, with tears in her eyes, "I really grew up."
Song Cheng poured a glass of water and said to Lu Minzhi, "Zhizhi, drink some water."
Lu Minzhi took the water and thanked him lightly.
Ever since Lu Minzhi beat up Song Cheng on the night of Lu Minzhi's birthday last time, Song Cheng had called him and visited the set, but Lu Minzhi always ignored him.
Song Cheng didn't know whether to be patient or thick-skinned. It seemed that he planned to fight Lu Minzhi to the end.
Song Chengming said plainly that he would not use any dirty tricks, but he was confident that he could wait until the day when Lu Minzhi and Yao Lie separated.
To put it bluntly, Song Chengcheng has seen that they are not in the right family, not to mention that they are still in love with men who are more intolerant of the world.
This made Lu Minzhi very uncomfortable. No one would feel at ease squatting beside such a guy who cursed him for not being in a good relationship.
It's so fucking annoying!
Jiang Xiuqin was very happy. Song Cheng and Lu Minzhi were his two favorite children, but it was a pity that Song Cheng was adopted away.
Now that he can come back, Jiang Xiuqin is really happy.
Jiang Xiuqin said with a smile: "Minzhi, do you still remember brother Chengcheng? You may not have seen each other for a long time, but now it's good, we finally meet again. You two were best friends when you were young."
