The world of film and television starts from the flow of money

"The Grand Hyatt Hotel is located in the newly built Lotus Plaza, which is now a commercial street. It is the only four-star hotel in our county. When it was first built last year, business was booming. You have to go half a day in advance to eat there. We make reservations every month...and business is pretty good now, very prosperous.”

Zhang Huilan happily introduced to Yi Huawei the changes in the county in recent years:

"After eating, you can go shopping in the commercial street next to it. Just park your car at the square."

Following Zhang Huilan's guidance, Yi Huawei parked the car in the parking lot next to Lotus Square. After getting off the bus, the three of them walked to the door of the hotel.

As night falls, the lanterns come on. The Grand Hyatt Hotel is even more dazzling due to the surrounding buildings. The design of the hotel is novel and unique. The exterior facade adopts a modern and simple style. It looks good and quite fashionable.

"Zhang Huilan! Hahaha~, we haven't seen each other for a year, and she's getting more and more beautiful! Yi Huawei? Is it Yi Huawei? It's been a long time since I last saw you. You seem to be doing well! They are all here and are waiting for you. Who is this beauty?"

As soon as the three of them approached the door, an enthusiastic voice came over.

Looking up, a familiar face came into view. We haven't seen each other for several years, and Li Ming's appearance has not changed significantly. In addition to appearing more mature and steady, the familiar outline remains the same. Wearing a fine-quality woolen coat with a tailored fit, it made him stand taller and taller. His face looked confident and exuded the aura of a successful person.

Perhaps as a result of hard work in the workplace, he has become much smoother. When he greeted Yi Huawei, he was like an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time.

"I can't compare to how high-spirited you are just to make a living."

After hugging Li Ming, Yi Huawei smiled calmly.

"Haha~, you are really good at talking. You have lied to little girls a lot now, right?"

Zhang Huilan smiled and said hello to Li Ming: "You have a good memory, and you recognized your old classmate at a glance. This is my friend, Liu Ting. This is my old classmate - Li Ming, an investment consultant at Jufeng Securities in Shanghai. "

"Hello, beauty... You can call me Li Ming or A Ming..." Li Ming turned to look at Liu Ting's beautiful figure, his eyes lit up and his attitude became more enthusiastic.

"Hello, your company is famous and I have heard about it for a long time..."

Seeing Li Ming stretch out his hand, Liu Ting stretched out her hand, and her palms parted as soon as she grasped them.

After exchanging a few words, Zhang Huilan smiled and said, "Let's go in first. Who is there today?"

Li Ming led the three of them towards the banquet hall upstairs and said with a smile as they walked: "Liang Ziquan, Liu Haonian, Li Zhongwei and Jiang Lifu. Today's party was mainly proposed by Liu Haonian. This kid can be considered a homecoming in glory. He just returned home last month." I got promoted, and now I'm a director, with an annual salary of nearly one million. I just came back during the Chinese New Year, and I don't have to show off in front of my old classmates."

"Hey! That's okay! I've got sixty or seventy of them, right?"

Zhang Huilan smiled and said: "He has only stayed in that company for less than seven years, right?"

"It's been a little more than six years. It's really cool to be able to sit in that position."

Li Ming smiled and said: "It's also a personal opportunity. You're not bad either. You can earn two to three hundred thousand a year at home, which is better than us outside. All we earn is hard-earned money."

By the way, what is Huawei doing now? Before, I only knew that you were also in the Magic City, and I had always wanted to contact you, but I couldn't find your contact information. It was as if you had disappeared from the world. I would have to punish myself with a few drinks in a while. "

"I'm working in a media company now," Yi Huawei said with a smile, "I'm barely making ends meet."

"Generally speaking, those who make a living are basically doing well," Li Ming said with a smile, "But weren't you doing..., numerical control? Why did you change careers? The span is quite big?"

"I can't survive anymore." Yi Huawei spread his hands and said, "I have no choice but to change my career."

Zhang Huilan comforted: "You are just unlucky... Everyone has their own development path, don't care about other people's opinions."

Li Ming glanced at Zhang Huilan thoughtfully and smiled.

"Well, thank you for your comfort."

Yi Huawei smiled.

You must be lucky, right? The probability of becoming a member of a million-person time-traveling army is one in 10,000, huh? Is the probability quite high?

While talking, the three of them followed Li Ming into the banquet hall. Because there were not many classmates at this gathering, the whole hall seemed a bit empty.

There were six men and women in the room, communicating animatedly. In addition to the four male classmates, there were also two women. Yi Huawei didn't know them, so they probably brought their family members.

At this moment, Yi Huawei and the others came in. After the introductions, there was naturally a lot of pleasantries. When old classmates met, they naturally talked about the usual topics. How are you doing recently? Make a fortune there. Don’t forget your old classmates when you become prosperous...

The two women were brought here by Li Zhongwei and Liang Ziquan. They were not married, but they had reached the stage of discussing marriage.

After everyone sat down, they glanced over and saw that among the six classmates, Yi Huawei seemed to be the worst.

You must know that the high school Yi Huawei attended was a provincial key school with an admission rate of over 70%. It’s a pity that love makes people blind. Yi Huawei in high school was not a genius, and he could take care of both love and studies...,

There are several other students here, two from Jiaotong University, one from Yuzhang, one from Fudan, and one from Hubei University! What they have in common is that they all went to work in Shanghai after graduation. They can be said to be the best among their classmates, and their wages are calculated based on annual salary.

After the food and drinks were served, Li Ming stood up, cleared his throat, and said, "Today's gathering was initiated by our old classmate Liu Haonian. Before that, I would like to ask Mr. Liu Haonian to tell you something. Let’s talk about it, okay?”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone applauded and looked at Liu Haonian.

Liu Haonian stood up with a smile upon hearing this, raised his glass generously, and began his opening remarks:

"We old classmates haven't seen each other for a year. The reason why we organized this meal today is also to provide an opportunity for everyone to get together and relive the friendship between classmates...,... Finally, let us welcome our Old classmate—Yi Huawei!"

Upon seeing this, Yi Huawei stood up and picked up the cup: "Thank you classmates for your warm care...,"

Yi Huawei has been in the film and television world for so many years, but he doesn't have much experience speaking in scenes like this. After all, he didn't attend many parties, and whenever he appeared at such an occasion, he was often the center of attention. On such occasions, people usually surround him with flattering remarks.

Of course, Yi Huawei will still say some polite words to avoid making the atmosphere awkward. He will also praise others appropriately or express his interest in a certain topic to keep the conversation going. However, at this gathering, Yi Huawei's blunt polite words did not elicit much response from his old classmates. They didn't show much enthusiasm. During the whole party, several people basically talked around Liu Haonian.

In this small social circle, Yi Huawei's existence seems a bit subtle. Yi Huawei's relationship with a few people is not close, and everyone's attitude towards him is a bit alienated. But on the surface, they still maintain a harmonious atmosphere, at least it's decent, and Yi Huawei doesn't find any pretense. A chance to slap in the face.

Of course, Yi Huawei himself doesn't care much about this situation. He doesn't need to deliberately look for presence in front of his old classmates, because he has things that he values ​​more.

Yi Huawei did not feel disappointed because of this. True friendship does not need to be deliberately cultivated. Besides, he will not have many opportunities to deal with them in the future. It is just a meal.

However, this does not mean that Yi Huawei is ignored in this circle. At the very least, Zhang Huilan's enthusiasm made him feel a little overwhelmed. It was quite normal at noon, right? But soon Jiang Lifu helped Yi Huawei solve this problem.

Halfway through the meal, Liu Ting signaled Yi Huawei beside her with her eyes: "Does that person named Jiang want to chase Zhang Huilan?"

"probably?"

Yi Huawei looked at Jiang Lifu's attentiveness to Zhang Huilan, shrugged and said with a smile: "It seems that he liked Zhang Huilan when he was a student. He is quite stubborn."

Looking at Yi Huawei's calm look, Liu Ting suddenly felt a toothache: "Can't you see that Zhang Huilan doesn't like him?"

"You can see it,"

Yi Huawei smiled: "Zhang Huilan is not married. Zhang Huilan has the right to reject Jiang Lifu, and Jiang Lifu also has the right to pursue her."

Hearing this, Liu Ting nodded slightly. She looked at Yi Huawei and wanted to say something, but stopped talking. She smiled and shook her head, with a hint of meaning in her eyes:

"Don't you know? Lan Lan, she actually likes you."

Yi Huawei's eyes flickered. He looked at Liu Ting without saying anything, as if he was thinking about something. Liu Ting's words surprised him, but he didn't show it on his face. He just stared at Liu Ting quietly, waiting for her next words.

But Liu Ting just looked at him with a smile and said nothing.

After a while, Yi Huawei said: "You know, I have always regarded Zhang Huilan as a friend, and I have never thought about anything else. Moreover, I think the relationship between her and me is very good as it is now."

Liu Ting smiled and said nothing more, but her eyes were a little more profound. She knew that Yi Huawei was a smart man and should have noticed Zhang Huilan's feelings for him. However, whether he can accept it is another matter. It seems that the relationship between his best friend will not be smooth!

"What are you talking about?"

Li Ming sat down opposite Liu Ting and said with a smile: "I heard that you also work in Magic City. Let's change our contact information and contact each other more in the future to help each other and make progress together."

With that said, Li Ming took out his mobile phone and opened WeChat and invited Liu Ting to add her as a friend.

"Okay," Liu Ting glanced at Yi Huawei, smiled slightly, and said calmly: "We are all fellow villagers. Please take care of me if you have the opportunity in the future."

After adding friends, Li Ming's attitude became more enthusiastic. He quickly replied: "Of course, if you need any help in the future, just ask, I will try my best to help."

I saw Liu Ting and Li Ming starting to chat, talking about each other's life and work.

Seeing that the two of them were having a good chat, and that the food in front of him had almost been eaten, Yi Huawei changed his position again and started to feast.

The party ended at early nine o'clock, and there was no second party. We left each other's phone numbers and then parted ways.

Of course, Yi Huawei knew that although contact information had been exchanged, there was a high probability that no one would contact him.

...............

After the show, Zhang Huilan and Liu Ting declined the invitations of Jiang Lifu and Li Ming. With their envious eyes, Yi Huawei led them in and led them towards the parking lot.

"You can eat quite well now?!"

Zhang Huilan was sitting in the passenger seat, looking at Yi Huawei and feeling a little itchy. She had winked at Yi Huawei so many times before that her eyelids were cramping, but Yi Huawei acted as if he didn't see anything and just ate nonsense. Heise.

"Haha~, I'm sorry, I really didn't see it," Yi Huawei shrugged and started the car:

"I went back and exercised all the time in the afternoon, and I was really hungry."

"This is not okay!"

Zhang Huilan didn't care about being angry at this moment, turned to look at Yi Huawei, and reminded: "Exercise in moderation, and it is best to eat small amounts and frequent meals. You can easily damage your body..."

Liu Ting sat behind and looked at Zhang Huilan, speechless. What is this? Aren't you still angry?

"Don't worry, I know."

Yi Huawei smiled: "Shall I take you back now?"

"I'm so angry with you, stop the car!"

The car stopped on the side of the road. Looking at Yi Huawei's questioning eyes, Zhang Huilan unbuckled his seat belt: "You are full, but I am still hungry. That Jiang Lifu always has nothing to say. When he looks at me like this, I haven’t even eaten a few bites of anything. I’m going to eat a bowl of fried rice noodles to satisfy my stomach.”

"I want to eat too. I didn't even take a few bites just now." Liu Ting immediately agreed.

"Okay, let's go,"

Yi Huawei nodded, parked the car, and followed the two girls towards the night snack stall.
