I'm just an actor

Chapter 76 Determination
"I heard you say that when people do you a favor, you always repay them by inviting them to dinner?"

Xu Rong shoveled a shovel of soil from the shelf cart, put it on the recess in front of the door, and patted it a few times with the shovel. If it was not padded, it would rain and water would accumulate, and it might not be convenient for grandpa to go out.

When he heard his grandfather's words, he leaned on a shovel, stroked his sleeves, looked at his grandpa's kind face, and nodded quite complacently. He certainly would not show such an expression outside, but at home, in front of the old man, he There is no need to hide what's on your mind.

But Grandpa shook his head, and said earnestly: "That's wrong. When you invite someone to dinner, you should invite them. But don't think that if you invite someone to dinner, you are repaying the favor. How can you repay the favor with a meal?"

Seeing the puzzled look on Xu Rong's face, the old man continued: "People deal with people, not for buying things. If you give me one yuan, I will give you four steamed buns, and the two are clear. Besides, if people send you one A meal or your little gift?"

Xu Rong frowned suspiciously. For the first time, he was confused about interpersonal communication, which was a little different from his previous cognition.

The old man stepped on the earth and said with a smile: "No matter how good the meal is, anyone can afford it. It's not bad for your one or two meals. People help you, thinking that you can help him later. You have to eat, you have to pay back favors, and you have to pay them back at a high level. If you get one point for helping you, you have to pay back two points. It's clear, it's a matter of heart, it's wrong, and you can't make friends."

"People are willing to help you after they have taken a fancy to you. The person who helps you will never help you just because he wants to eat you. Asking someone to do something is actually the beginning of dealing with you. This time he helped you a lot." Points, next time you help him two points, you think you have done him a big favor, but he owes you a favor, which is actually not the case, there is a back and forth, because next time, people will help you three times Minute."

"Just like you last time when you went to Hunan province to ask for help. You called me and told me that you felt ashamed. In fact, I thought it was very good. I didn't save face, I earned it by myself. Favors are similar. , if you don’t owe favors, and people don’t owe you favors, then you won’t be able to deal with them, the more you owe favors, the wider the way.”

Seeing that Xu Rongruo realized something, the old man smiled and said: "I didn't tell you this before because you didn't understand, and it was unnecessary, but your recent actions are wrong, you can't be like before, you have to change."

Xu Rong seemed to understand it, but he didn't seem to understand it too much. He had to think about it carefully. This statement seemed a bit profound.

In the past, grandpa used to say similar things while chatting during meals, but now the second grandpa and Xu Xing live at home, so it is not very convenient.

Xu Rong's residence was also moved from the main room to the three newly built east rooms, and the main room was reserved for two old people.

Yiying's furniture is all newly purchased. It can be seen that the second grandfather's family has put a lot of thought into it.

During the five days at home, he was not idle. He could see that the old man had lived frugally all his life. Even though he was richer now, he was still reluctant to spend money. The food was still the same as before, with noodles and some vegetables. With the pickles that I pickled, it was a meal.

He added a refrigerator and a large color TV, bought some supplements and a basket of eggs.

Old people like to watch the news, especially the news at [-] o'clock in the evening, and they don't miss it every day.

As for the refrigerator, he bought it because he was afraid that the old man wouldn't be able to finish eating the eggs in a short while, and that they would go bad after a long time.

"Brother, I heard people say that after going to college, you don't have to work as hard as high school?" Xu Xing looked at Xu Rong, still feeling dreamy.

A few days ago, within half an hour after Xu Rong arrived home, a group of reporters came to the house. I heard that there was a county leader with him. Unlike the rumors, this cousin was not swollen or bloated like the outside rumors. How, probably the questions from the reporters in his hometown were relatively mild, and he answered them all with a smile, and even stayed at home for a meal in the end.

Xu Rong picked up the eggs into the refrigerator, glanced at Xu Xing who was helping, and said, "Look at yourself, if you want to study, it's not much more leisurely than high school. Which school did you apply for?"

He was still a little unaccustomed to this younger sister who suddenly appeared from a corner.

He had heard his grandfather mention that although Xu Xing was only half a year younger than him, he only took the college entrance examination this year, but he was not interested in it, so he didn't ask much.

Xu Xing smiled, puffed out his chest, and said, "It's the same school as you."

"It's amazing, what major is it?"

"It's the same as you." Xu Xing handed the box to Xu Rongdao, "Brother, do you really want to call senior brother when you arrive at school? It feels so strange?"

Now Xu Rong fully understands the reason, no wonder, he was waiting here, but he hasn't brought Xiao Zhang yet, don't say that this sister is not close, she is his own sister. It's really hard to say, after all, one side is a sister, and the other side It's a girlfriend.

He took the box, put it away, picked up the eggs again, and said, "No, that's just what the outside world says, just call senior and senior sister."

Listening to the chat between the two, the two old people just smiled and didn't speak.

As for matchmaking, he didn't even think about it. The old man heard from Xu Rong that he had a girlfriend in school. He knew that he was an independent person. He knew what he wanted, and he didn't ask about it.

And the old man can also see that the two are not suitable, and their personalities are too similar, which is not good on the contrary.

No matter how harmonious they get along with each other, Tuqiongdagger will eventually show up. At Xu Rong's last lunch before leaving home, his grandfather finally said, "Can you take care of yourself when you are outside alone?"

As soon as the words came out, although the second grandfather and Xu Xing also lowered their heads, their movements immediately became extremely slight, as if they were standing on a balance beam, even breathing gently.

Xu Rong paused while eating, raised his head, and exchanged glances with his grandfather, both of them smiled at the same time.

He understood what the old man meant, and he had some specific thoughts in his heart.

After all, the words have to be said, otherwise people would not come here to build a house and connect with each other, but if it is said by the old man, there is still room for change.

Xu Rong lowered his head and thought for a while, then glanced at the second grandfather's faint smile, and said, "I'm not too old, why can't I take care of myself."

Seeing Second Grandpa wanted to talk, he said again: "But speaking of it, there is indeed a lack of close friends. If you are alone outside, you will be unfamiliar with the place of life after all."

At this point, he stopped talking.

The second grandpa put down his chopsticks slowly, took out a towel from his pocket and wiped his mouth, took over the conversation, and said with a smile: "Isn't that good, let your sister follow you, and your grandpa and I will both Don't worry, they are all from my own family, and there is also a caretaker outside."

Xu Rong smiled and glanced at Xu Xing, who was secretly looking at him, with a serious face, and said: "Second Grandpa, I won't hide it from you, in fact, don't look at me as a reporter and a leader, in fact, I don't have that much ability right now. , I can't arrange anything, but speaking of it, I just need an assistant right now."

Seeing the puzzled faces of the two old people, he explained: "It can be understood as taking care of my work. Of course, it is also very tiring in life. The assistant I used to get up at four o'clock every day and go to bed after twelve o'clock at night. After two months, I felt like a panda, and I lost a lot of weight."

Seeing the obvious disappointment on Xu Xing's face, Xu Rong smiled and lowered his head to continue eating.

There is no free lunch in this world.

Besides, the most difficult thing to overcome is desire. He can indeed owe someone a favor to help her once, but he often doesn't cherish what he gets easily.

Furthermore, just like what Chen Dong said at the beginning, why?
The two old people were silent at the same time, the grandfather looked indifferent, and also lowered his head to eat, only the second grandfather thought for a while before saying: "Xu Xing has never experienced this at home."

"I am willing."

Xu Rong slipped a handful of noodles into his mouth, swallowed them, then raised his head gently, and looked at the younger sister carefully.

Xu Xing was admitted to Nortel. Needless to say, he has an oval face, eyes very similar to Aunt Xu, both with double eyelids, and a high nose bridge, which is very three-dimensional.

But these are not what he cares about, what he cares about is her determination, since Xu Xing has been admitted to Nortel, naturally he will not know nothing about the assistant industry.

But being able to make a decision in just a few seconds shows the girl's determination.

From her clothes, Xu Rong can judge that her family background should be quite good. A girl who was spoiled and spoiled since she was a child can be ruthless to be an assistant for others, which is not an ordinary person.

In most people's understanding, an assistant is a job with lots of work, little money, and constant noise.

But in fact it is not that simple. In the process of helping artists deal with relationships, she will meet many people, especially directors, producers, and merchants. Brokers are all from this line of work.

As for the follow-up, it depends on her performance. If he is down-to-earth and diligent, he doesn't mind helping her win a few roles, but if it's just a spur of the moment, even if she graduates in the future, it will be difficult to do anything.

But he also didn't want Assistant Xu Xing to regret running away after working for two days, so he turned around and asked, "You should think about it, assistant is not an easy job, and it will also delay your studies."

"I've made up my mind, I'll be your assistant." Seeing his grandfather's unhappy face, Xu Xing nodded heavily, and suddenly smiled and said, "Isn't there still a brother in your studies? I heard that you get scholarships every year. of."

Xu Rong nodded and said, "Okay, clean up later, come with me."

"Ah, are you going to leave later?" Xu Xing opened his mouth, a bit unresponsive, too fast, right?

Xu Rongdao: "That's right, I will join the group in two days, and I will be busy until the end of the year, when the school starts, I will go to report at that time, and just get the books."

He can take care of school affairs, so these questions are not for nothing. Although at school, the teachers run faster and faster when they see him, but during the New Year's Eve, he will go to sit with gifts one by one. sit.

His original plan was that he might go to graduate school in the future, so he established a good relationship with the teachers in advance, but he didn't want to use it in advance.
