This Life This Life

Chapter lV

Thu Thu could not help but laugh with his senior, just like that, whether it was interior decoration, or Ming style furniture, this office gave people a pure classic feeling. Thu Thu for a while was curious, thinking for a moment that Dich Changning would not wear the same white clothes all of Tang's life but stepped in, raising his hands and feet, elegant and courteous, thinking of his white appearance, snow, inevitably drooling.

The senior in charge of filmmaking criticizes at the table with the Thanh Hoa pen holder blocking the camera lens: "When shifting up close, this is too caught, or better leave it on the side." Thu Thu observed for a moment, then picked it up and carefully inspected the pen place, smiled and said: "Oh, this is probably from this real Lang Ung Chinh, the entire room has so many items, so many things, keep growing.valuable, I'll have to photograph it later."

The voice was indistinct, suddenly feeling that everyone had calmed down, turned to look, and Yi Changning had already entered the door. It turned out that today he was wearing a black suit, a business suit, and wearing it on his body, but solemnly broke down the road, turning 180 degrees with the person he gave a speech at school, he said, he stood next to her. a little contemplative, but Kam Thu thought of the phrase "high courage".

He regretted being too smart, biting the tip of his tongue, obediently hiding behind his senior. Khuong Khiet Dan rushed forward to say hello, introducing him to the interview team members, when introducing Kam Thu, just say one sentence: "This is assistant cameraman Diep Than Thu." Yi Changning shook hands with his tears, his eyes slightly flashing, as if he had a smile on his face: "Miss Ye has very sharp eyes."

"No, not at all," he thought of one thing and said another, smiling wryly, actually because his fingertips were a bit cold, holding hers, had a strange ability, seemed a little cool. Then, at the fingertips, directly to the heart. His head was noisy and chaotic, unsure of what he was thinking, he had released his hand.

Before turning on the phone, Khuong Khiet Dan first chatted briefly with Dich Truong Ninh, especially to prepare for an official start, so that both sides could try to get roles faster. Ninh and Khuong Khiet Dan were still friends in the elementary school, but Dich Truong Ninh had not graduated following his immigrant parents, and Khuong Khiet Dan joked: "Then you are my senior."

The interviews were very pleasant, although they were only students, but they all came from formal training, had experienced many major events, and their professional qualities were not weaker than any TV station. Young Dich Truong Ninh is full of promise, has a lot of experience with the media, both the owner and the customer "familiar with a light car", and the question and answer ends very happily.

It was already dark, Dich Truong Ninh very comfortably said: "Everyone is the junior of Khuong Khiet Dan, so is my junior, everyone has worked hard today, he said, I invite everyone to eat.

Khuong Khiet Dan of course refused, but Dich Truong Ninh insisted, Khuong Khiet Dan should bow respectfully, with a little intelligence, saying: obediently. It's destiny."

Everything was young, instantly laughing out loud haha, the atmosphere became much more open.

That year, the fish hotpot was peaking, so Dich Changning invited everyone to eat Sichuan rice.

The restaurant has just opened, the surroundings are very beautiful, the fish is fresh and spicy, for lovers of spicy food like Kam Kam, almost want to cheer, call it a pleasure to eat.

Khuong Khiet Dan is strong because of rice and money, wise in all aspects, the atmosphere at the table is very lively, he represents the team to interview Dich Truong Ninh for a cup, but is not called "director Di" , not called "Sir Yi", but imitating the story just now in the office, calling Dich Truong Ninh as "brother", immediately drew a lot of distance. Truong Ninh was young, after all, not too arrogant, momentarily immersed in the collective, raising a cup of wine and laughing, regardless of age, so Thu Thu was naturally also your junior.

"The sister doesn't know how to drink, so give Senior Brother a cup." Khuong Khiet Dan cared and said, because according to the rules on the table, everyone had enough respect before they could release the cup.

Thu Thu, of course, obediently obeyed, raised a glass of wine, smiled and shouted: "Great senior brother!"

The dining room ceiling, called the "full star" luxury chandelier, a brilliant ray of light, illuminated her pure, naked, bright and delicate face, her eyes sparkling and smiling in the light, she said, flickering.like a star that had just flashed. Dich Truong Ninh's heart skipped a beat, only to feel that this girl had beautiful eyes, smiling and saying: "Don't be polite." Then he lifted his wine glass and drank it.

The grapefruit, sweet and strong, is poured into the throat a little ivory, making people dizzy.

Putting down his cup, Dich Changning seemed to accidentally say: "The sister is young, but her eyes are very strong."

Thu Thu had just sent him an exemplary smile.

"But Tsinghua's pen is not the most valuable item in my office." Her eyes under the black light were deep and unpredictable: "The sister might not have noticed it, the image of the Beast Ngo Trong Khue hanging in the school, her grades were much higher than the pen place."

Shou Shou did not have time to think about it for a moment, and said, "If Ngo Tran's painting is real, of course it's more expensive than a pen place."

As soon as he said those words, he immediately knew that he was smart again, and he regretted biting the tip of his tongue. But Dich Truong Ninh was only silent for a moment, then laughed comfortably: "Although this painting was studied through the hands of a friend, I also invited some acquaintances to come and see it real accumulation. The younger sister, despite her young age, had more knowledge than people, just by looking at it with her eyes, had it been determined that it was fake?

It was polite to say the words, but the mockery in it he heard was clear, clearly metaphorical, teasing him as a child, what did he understand about ancient calligraphy? She was a little angry, her pride was hurt, and her face was smiling: "Sister, let's bet, if it's a model, then sister invites us to eat. . And if this image of the Fish Beast is the original signature, then I will invite senior brother over for dinner."

He looked innocent and innocent, and Yi Changning did not even think about it and nodded: "OK!"

He stretched out his hand and shook it: "Applause and swear!"

His hands were very white, the ancients said his skin was white and white, it turned out to be true, his palms were warm and smooth, gently patted, he did not dare to force his hands. He clapped very loudly again, 3 standing ovations, then a smile hidden under his eyes, as if a little fox was lying on a trick worthy of punishment.

At first he felt full of confidence, met with his sparkling eyes, and suddenly felt that he had fallen into a trap.

At first it was only half joking, half joking, after a few days, he very seriously sent the painting to a researcher and painter Ngo Tran, probably feeling that this kid was too extravagant, he said, but he had a problem.joke, made him invite him to eat, which is quite interesting, the result turned out to be a little surprising.

The boy was right, the image he had spent a lot of money to buy back, turned out to be a prototype.

“What a good thing, although not an actual signature ...” The examiner took the cover glass, flipped it over and over again for several hours, and finally concluded with each inch: "Perhaps a sample from the Qing dynasty, look at this trail, press it down and save, delicate beauty, and this article...really can be faked...” From beginning to end, attachment does not disappear: "If I do not learn Ngo Trong Khue for 30 years, I will be afraid."

He carelessly wanted to ask, could it be that a child who was still in college and realized this was a false glance, and ended up thinking about it again.

No need to vomit blood.

Before calling Thu Thu, he hesitated for a moment, what kind of tone he should say, what words to say, so as not to lose face. Who knows, as soon as he picked up the phone, he shouted: "Sister, did you really invite me to dinner? Then I ate fish! Hot cooked fish pot! ”

Dich Truong Ninh laughed for a while, he had been in the market for a long time, everyone's mind was too deep and complicated, but he didn't think too much about it, just thought it was a simple bet.

"But the brothers and sisters are not here, they went to Xi'an to perform." He was very sorry: "It will take a few days to come back."

"It's okay, I take you first, wait for them to come back and then go eat again."

"okay." He was overjoyed: "So I'm fine, I can eat 2 times."

Just hearing it makes me hungry, in fact the food is very neat, the food is good, but not too fun, many small points that can be seen as the child of an educated family. The background of this girl was definitely not bad, she smiled as she watched her eat fish, like a smart little cat.

She was embarrassed as she looked at him, sipping juice: "The fish was eaten by me."

He said, "It's okay, I'd rather eat beef."

He said: "One time, my brother Tu invited me to eat at a private restaurant, like this, but it was a dry hot pot, hot fry and smelly, the meat was a bit white, thin sliced iron ..." coming here, as if thinking of something, his voice died down, just saying: "Again, I won't eat that food."

He couldn't help but ask, "What meat is that?"

He was a little depressed: "I don't want to say it."

She looked more like a little cat like this, in her heart a little tingling or maybe just wanting to know what meat was in the end, she felt a little guilty: "I found out the next day, I found out, so angry that half of me was angry, for months, he did not pay attention to Mr. Tu, there was always a psychological ghost weighing on him. It was too cruel, I felt so uncomfortable just thinking about it later, so I didn't want to say it."

He thought for a moment, then asked: “Is that cat meat?

He closed his mouth in surprise: "Oh, how do you know?"

Eyes flickered in fear, no wonder why people's hearts were pounding.

That day, they talked about many things, from all kinds of alley restaurants, to even porcelain, he found that he was very knowledgeable about Tsinghua ceramics, this little boy can have the presence of ants.This knowledge makes him feel very rare.

“My grandfather started to collect Tsinghua stuff a long time ago, my cousin is not interested in this, only I like to ask this and that, my grandfather is very valuable, I am very happy, so he often explained things to me. . ”

It turned out like that, but he thought of that image of Ngo Tran, still admiring the ground: "The painting, experts say, ordinary people could not recognize it at all, but they did not, it takes more than 30 years of experience to have it. . Little sister, you're really sharp."

He blushed: "Actually, I am completely confused by calligraphy, if I were to turn it into another painting, I wouldn't know if it was real or fake."

He looked at her in amazement

She was very honest with him: "The reason why I knew that the painting was a prototype was because the autographed Fish Beast was actually hanging in the study room of my grandfather's house, which was the only one I could see, and has been hanged for almost 20 years now. . ”

He was astonished, finally laughing out loud, laughing so much that he was also laughing, he was smiling beautifully, his teeth were flat white, his cheeks were still pink with hot pot steam, as if a lotus.

He had not smiled like that for many years, only feeling comfortable and full of excitement.

Later on Valentine's Day, he gave her a seal, the priestess, joking that she had to carve out four small seal characters: a "fire-eye metal crystal", obviously scolding her for being a monkey, so she did it on purpose. let out his voice: "Kakak——Sun Wukong——you're the monkey!"

He said, "I'm his older brother, then you're his little monkey." He fondly pinched her cheek: "You are my little monkey."

Back then, the two were very close, close to the glue, even if they did not have the chance to meet, they would still call or talk through MSN. He had just finished school and opened the computer, sometimes he was not online, he was really bored, typing every word: "Oh Ngo Khong .... Ngo Khong ...."

Otherwise, it would be: "Great senior brother ... Great senior brother ......"

After a while, he finished the meeting, or just got off the plane, if he saw it online, he would instantly reply: "Stupid, Bat Gioi, I woke up."

Later, he helped her get into BBS for her company employees, using the nickname also "eight precepts".

Initially, external networks were unable to access the company's BBS, so he installed separate software on his computer, set it up to a service agent, and then he was able to log in remotely. He saw the nickname lack of vomiting blood, life and death did not follow: "I did not use this."

She couldn't help but rejoice at her pain, hugging her arm: "Only this ID, the password is my birthday, you can use it if you like, if you don't use it, that's all."

He doesn't remember his birthday, that's why he has a grudge, deliberately set the password as his birthday, this guy is too narrow-minded. He really wanted to enter as well, so he had to use it. Since all the young female employees in her company at BBS all suffer from a "excitable" illness, she once saw it on her laptop and soon decided that she wanted to enroll in a forum, day to day scouting "enemies of love" ".

At BBS, someone opens a separate topic, a statistic about the number of times they meet Dich Truong Ninh. It was nice to go up there all day and boasted: "In the morning, when I saw Mr. Yi in the corridor of the 28th floor, he was very handsome!"

Someone also exaggerated: "Just met Mr. Yi today, wearing a polka-dotted tie, combined with a gray vest is truly a masterpiece!"

He looked at it excitedly, flipping this page for Dich Truong Ninh to see, actually he had a bit of an American style, the senior managers below are mostly the troops he brought back from the US, all of them young people.The whole office culture tends to be open and free, that is why female employees blatantly drool at such bosses.

After the breakup, he returned to the US, the double remained unchanged, every time it was opened, it was his company's website. There is no hope, even if it is just to find a website related to it, that is enough. The LOGO is familiar, the whole page is commercial news, sometimes his name is mentioned, every time he sees the 3 words "Yi Changning", or "Cheney Yi", his heart is always beating for a long time, In accordance with the habit of clicking the upper left corner of BBS, forever only the sound of "ding" is heard.

Every time I clicked on it, my ears were filled with rejection messages, each time a small box appeared: "Sorry, you are not allowed to see this page."

He might have deleted the software a long time ago, cut off the last connection between them, he was so cruel, he always pushed it away, then left it wandering outside forever, walking around with no way back.

Today, when she returned from school, she received a call to arrange a business trip the next day. Although he was an apprentice, the director cared deeply for him, but he actively wanted to 'please to fight the enemy', hoping to work with a team of columnists outside, because he was afraid of being unemployed. Ever since he broke up with Dich Truong Ninh, for several months now, once he was unemployed, he would feel extremely frustrated and uneasy again.

Monday walks with columnists, usually weekends when back, time passes quickly, people are also weak, often go home to sleep, save a lot of trouble.

But there was also an exception, that day the group of columnists returned from Shenzhen, exiting the airport when it was almost afternoon, the leader in the car said: "Tonight, someone invited us to dinner, that's General Van from the company. Van Dang, no matter what, we should invite us to dinner, I said on the phone, I'm not behind." When it came to General Van, Tieu Ton's filming couldn't help it, excitedly saying without a head or a tail: "Poetry, was General Van the one who wrote the poem?"

"Why not!" The Leader said: "This is considered a group activity, no one should reject it, brothers, if you have happiness, you can share it, if you have a disaster, you have to share it."

Some of the people in the car were all happy, rolling around laughing together, Tieu Ton said to Kam Kam: "Oh, I didn't go to the previous interview with Van General, it's a classic." With a smile on his face, he said to her: "Van General has just appeared and said: Don't consider me a businessman, I actually have a literary heart. Then wave your hands once, call the secretary to bring a poem to each person. Needless to say, the poem book was called beautiful, the imported copper paper was complete, the cover was covered in gold, the cover was also encrusted with Van Dang company souvenirs. He also invited the vice president of the National Literary Union to help him write the preface, I heard that the print volume is limited to 30,000 copies, he will not give it to ordinary people ... "

Kam Thu laughed but his mind was nowhere, listening to his comrades tell jokes, the fog of gloomy nights, the street lights lit up in groups, the, it was as if someone was casually swinging countless pearl necklaces, illuminating the entire city, was when a beautiful night scene bloomed.

Van General prepared a large and beautiful dining room, not only sending his secretary to wait at the door, but also standing at the door to greet him, so he was too enthusiastic. The leader introduced him: "This is our team intern Tieu Diep." In fact, just getting off the plane, the wind and dust are long, when in the car, Kam Kam comfortably wears a thin velvet shirt to wear on white, white top, her feet were also wearing a pair of young white flat shoes, she had wool thread-like hair shorts, almost like a high school student, her eyes increasingly resembled white lotus buds. Very politely, he called out: "Hello, General." This General Van immediately felt a flash of light before his eyes, shook his hand and said: "Don't be polite, don't be a guest, I'm Van Hong Dat, Hong is in a beautiful atmosphere, Dat in Phi Hoang Dang Dat, call me Van General too far."

Thu Thu had a mild addiction to cleanliness, held by this person, don't ask how annoying it was, luckily the group leader next to him said: "Let's go in and say, Van General, please, go in first and say so."

Van Hong Dat resigned only, fortunately booked a very luxurious room, with a very large table, Kam Kam deliberately chose the place that is farthest from Van Hong Dat, which is very expensive, heading to where Tieu Ton is sitting. This Van Hong Dat might eventually seem to have met a lot of people, a lot of situations like this, and not paid much attention. As soon as he started, he told her about his personal history, his face brightened, he spoke nonstop.
