Chapter 52 Visiting the Xin Family

On the taxi back, the driver turned on the noon radio.

Ji Qinglin, who was leaning against the car window, sat up slightly when he heard the words "Huanyu Entertainment".

The news said that the top executives of Universal Entertainment were reported by insiders and are currently under investigation. Gu Yinmo, the chairman, was taken away for interrogation.

This news had a big impact on the entertainment industry. The two anchors chatted about the impact on the entertainment industry. Ji Qinglin clenched his phone and sent Dai Xingruo a WeChat message.

Dai Xingruo didn't reply until he got home.

Xie Lanchuan went to Xin He's house to celebrate the New Year, but the house was empty. Ji Qinglin sat on the sofa for a while holding his mobile phone, and finally decided to go to Xin He's house first.

Xin He bought a townhouse years ago, one for his parents to live in, and one for his wedding.

Ji Qinglin had been to Xin He's new home before, and the security guard knew him and let him in directly.

Knowing Ji Qinglin's visit, Xin He and Jingjing put down their half-made egg tarts and greeted them.

"Come here, what supplements do you bring?" Xin He hurriedly took it from Ji Qinglin's hand, telling him not to bring it next time.

Ji Qinglin smiled and said, "It's not all supplements, besides, it's not for you."

Hearing the sound, Xin He's mother poked her head out from the fence of the courtyard, saw that it was Ji Qinglin, and immediately greeted her with a smile: "Xiao Ji! Come and sit here!"

There was a small gate connecting the two sides in the fence, and Ji Qinglin directed Xin He to carry things over.

Jingjing followed behind the two of them.

Father Xin was feeding the koi by the landscaping in his courtyard, when he heard that Ji Qinglin was coming, he waved to him.

Ji Qinglin picked up the smallest paper bag and handed it to Mama Xin, "Auntie, here is a silk scarf and perfume for you, I hope you like it."

Xin's mother took the paper bag with a smile on her face. She couldn't put it down to the handmade silk scarf Ji Qinglin gave her, and asked Jingjing to tie it on for her to see the effect.

Papa Xin was given a whole set of ice-cracked iron tire tea sets. This antique tea set won the favor of Papa Xin, and he insisted on showing Ji Qinglin the tea art.

It wasn't until Father Xin's chess friend came to call him that he was willing to let Ji Qinglin and Xin He chat alone.

Ji Qinglin was sitting on the sofa in the living room, the sunlight came in through the glass door, the whole living room was bright, revealing a new atmosphere everywhere.

Xin He took a cup of scented tea and put it on the coffee table, looked at his father who was fully dressed and went out, and shook his head helplessly, "My father was really... a rough old man in the society when he was young, and he has learned to be arty when he is old, alas ..."

Ji Qinglin followed his gaze and smiled, "I don't see that uncle messing around with the society."

"Damn, you can't tell when you're wearing clothes. You'll know when the old man is shirtless—there are blue dragons and white tigers all over his back!" Xin He teased and took a sip of scented tea, "Why aren't you with your parents?" How many days longer?"

Ji Qinglin paused when he reached out to bring the tea. He picked up the teacup with a normal face, and said perfunctorily, "They are used to being clean, so I don't want to disturb their lives all the time."

"Oh, that's true," Xin He patted Ji Qinglin's shoulder, "You're too out of touch, it looks like you're not your own!"

Ji Qinglin's body was shaken by his patting, the corners of his lips curled into a tiny arc, and he laughed at himself, "Who knows, maybe it's not my own."

Xin He told him not to talk nonsense, the old man would be sad when he heard this.

Ji Qinglin forced a smile and said nothing.

He really didn't dare to say this at home, not because he was afraid that Liang Jing would be sad, but because he was afraid that she would make endless noise after hearing it.

He was most afraid of Liang Jing's schizophrenic hysteria.

Jingjing brought a fruit plate and put it between the two of them, then went back to the kitchen to help.

"Let's stay for lunch, since there's no one in your house anyway." Xin He stuck an apple into his mouth with a toothpick, "It just so happens that my cousin is here too."

Ji Qinglin hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.

Xin He crossed his legs and looked at Ji Qinglin's hand holding the teacup, and commented, "The recovery is not bad."

Ji Qinglin held the teacup in another hand, and showed Xin He his hand, "That's it, wounds on hands usually heal quickly."

Xin He raised his eyebrows and nodded, then asked with great interest, "Are you interested in participating in this year's IPA?"

The IPA is a very important award in the photography industry. It is through this award that Xin He and the others have become famous in the industry.

Xinhe has the idea of ​​expanding the market this year. Before that, they must expand their popularity to have the opportunity to contact more excellent projects.

In recent years, Xin He has been less and less taking pictures by himself, and Ji Qinglin is the person who often leads projects.

He wanted to test Ji Qinglin's ambition.

Why didn't Ji Qinglin guess Xin He's intentions? He put down his teacup and looked up at Xin He, "I'm interested, but I don't know if I can succeed—there are not a few creative creators in this circle, and good works are even more so." It's endless."

Hearing what he said, Xin He leaned back, "When did you become so unconfident?"

When, Ji Qinglin didn't know.

His timidity is not a day or two, or he has never been a confident person. Hiding behind the camera and staring at others has become his way of facing the world. He just likes to record beauty with the camera.

Not good at competing with beauty.

"I can try." Ji Qinglin compromised, "But I can't guarantee the result."

Hearing that Ji Qinglin agreed to consider it, Xin He also heaved a sigh of relief. He thought that Ji Qinglin would choose to refuse. If Ji Qinglin refused, he would find another person to replace Ji Qinglin's current position as the project director.

The company needs fresh blood and more creators, and industry changes are so cruel.

Xin He didn't want to go too far and hurt their friendship for so many years.

Jingjing poked her head out from the kitchen and said that she could eat in 10 minutes.

Xin He went outside to call his father, and he asked Ji Qinglin to go upstairs to call Xie Lanchuan.

Ji Qinglin nodded, went upstairs and stood at the door.

When he raised his hand to knock on the door, the door was pulled open from the inside.

Xie Lanchuan, who was wearing pajamas, looked tired. When he saw Ji Qinglin, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"you……"

"I'm here to ask you to go downstairs for dinner." Ji Qinglin hurriedly withdrew his arms and clasped his fingers together, a little embarrassed.

Xie Lanchuan hummed and closed the door again.

When they went downstairs, the two were one behind the other, neither of them spoke.

When they came to the restaurant, the two old people and Xin He and his wife were already seated. Ji Qinglin was sitting beside Xin's mother, and Xie Lanchuan was on the left.

Before making lunch, Mother Xin specifically asked Ji Qinglin if he still likes tomato sirloin and crayfish. On the dining table, these two dishes were placed closest to Ji Qinglin.

Ji Qinglin thanked him flattered, with a sore nose, he quickly lowered his head and pulled a few mouthfuls of rice into his mouth, holding back his tears.

Mother Xin stopped eating suddenly, staring at Ji Qinglin's right hand with different colors due to the growth of new flesh, "Xiao Ji, when did you get burned? It's so serious, why didn't Xin He tell us?"

Ji Qinglin pretended to be relaxed and smiled, "It's been a long time, it's okay, don't worry, Auntie."

Mother Xin was not happy, "You child, take a good rest when you are injured, let Xin He give you a holiday, or you will get a raise, don't think he is oppressing you, I don't know..."

Xin He couldn't laugh or cry, "Are you still your real mother?"

"I'm Xiao Ji's mother now!" Xin's mother hugged Ji Qinglin's shoulder, deliberately annoying Xin He.

The joyous atmosphere made Ji Qinglin's eyes turn red, and he ran to the living room to drink water on the pretext that he ate spicy crayfish.

Standing in the living room, Ji Qinglin held the cup and took a deep look back at the dining room.

He longed for such a family atmosphere so much, he even hoped that time would stop at this moment.

After the meal, Ji Qinglin and Xin He took a walk in the courtyard. When he asked about Universal Entertainment, Xin He didn't respond strongly, "The industry said it was just a routine investigation, so don't worry."

"Don't worry, it won't affect Dai Xingruo." Xin He glanced at Ji Qinglin's reaction, and said, "However... her brother should have been quite affected. When he took over Huanyu, he offended many of his father's old subordinates. Now that he is being investigated, those people will definitely provide evidence against him, it's good that he didn't make a mistake, if there is any reason... Tsk, it's really hard to say."

Ji Qinglin's heart that had been put back in place was lifted by Xin He again.

"He is very unpopular in the company?"

"That's not true," Xin He shrugged, "It's three fires for a new official to take office. For a young master like him who has never held real power, why don't he fire a few more fires?"

There was an unspeakable awkwardness in Xin He's words, and Ji Qinglin didn't know when he had prejudice against Gu Yinmo.

Or did Xin He actually dislike Gu Yinmo from the very beginning, but he just didn't show it?

Ji Qinglin didn't comment on Xin He's words, knowing that Gu Yinmo would be fine, he was relieved.

In the afternoon, Xin He drove Ji Qinglin home. The two elders of Xin's family packed a lot of roasted seeds and fruits for Ji Qinglin, and asked Ji Qinglin to take them back to eat when he was free. The trunk was full of things.

The old man's kindness was hard to turn down, so Ji Qinglin had no choice but to accept it, and said he would visit again after a while.

Xin He helped him carry the things upstairs, and before the elevator closed, he talked about the photo contest again.

"...Think about it carefully before contacting me." As he spoke, Xin He made a "call" gesture next to his ear.

Ji Qinglin nodded, watching Xin He's figure disappear with the closing of the elevator door, his shoulders slowly slumped, and his back was pressed against the cold tiled wall.

He is a person who is extremely afraid of failure. When Xin He talked about the game, he subconsciously wanted to run away.

In his current state, it is simply not enough to make a rational choice.

Ji Qinglin shuffled towards the door, when the neighbor's door suddenly opened, and a girl in a red sweater came out.

"Hi, you are...Mr. Ji?" The girl stood in front of Ji Qinglin carrying the trash, her big eyes under Qi Liu Hai showed a trace of temptation.

Ji Qinglin nodded blankly.

The girl stretched out her hand and said with a smile, "Hi, I'm Luo Huan."

Ji Qinglin blinked, feeling that the girl had an indescribable sense of familiarity, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.

After briefly shaking hands, Luo Huan said that she was going downstairs to throw out the trash, and Ji Qinglin enthusiastically pressed the elevator for her.

Luo Huan walked lightly into the elevator, waved goodbye to Ji Qinglin.

The elevator door closed, and Ji Qinglin turned to look at Luo Huan's open door, worried about her safety awareness, so he closed the door for her casually.

【Speak】

What should Xin He say, is he an ordinary person with a small mind?probably so

There are quite a lot of people like this

Good night in advance! ! !
