look back and see him

Chapter 8

Lu Xiaoman would rather Jin Cen suddenly convert to religion, so he wanted to find himself to confess.He didn't expect to encounter such a situation.

Just now, the joy and pleasure brought about by all kinds of cynicism just now turned into anger in an instant.In front of him, Lu Xiaoman seemed to see Jin Cen six years ago, when Jin Cen gave Ding Yu the key to his apartment. "I hope I can see you when I miss you at night."

Ding Yu was fooled like that.This made Lu Xiaoman feel extremely sick to Jin Cen who was looking at him with affectionate eyes at this moment.

"If you miss me, just miss me, as long as you don't bother me." He said with a cold expression.

Jin Cen looked at him quietly for a while, with vague worry in his tone: "Will you disappear again next?"

"Disappeared" is an odd use of the word.Lu Xiaoman glanced at the other party: "When did I disappear?"

"Two years ago. I couldn't find any check-in information for planes or trains. You made yourself disappear completely."

Although Lu Xiaoman deliberately did not keep in touch with all his former friends—in fact, he has no friends worth keeping in touch with. After "disappearing", he just happened to take a long-distance bus.He never thought that someone would find him...

Lu Xiaoman suddenly realized——

"You investigate me?"

"I just want to find you." Jin Cen replied reassuringly.

"First of all, I didn't disappear, because I have no reason to avoid you." Lu Xiaoman answered Jin Cen's previous question head-on, "You are just hateful, not scary, why should I hide from you? Secondly, I will not disappear in the future , I have my life here, and I have no reason to give up my current life for an insignificant person."

Facing Lu Xiaoman's hostile attitude that was too lazy to hide, Jin Cen continued to ask his own question indifferently: "Do you like the current life, or the previous life?"

Lu Xiaoman became irritable when asked, "Mr. Jin, do you want to talk with me or interview me? I have already answered many of your questions, so many that I don't think I need to continue the conversation."

Jin Cen thought about it and said slowly: "You still like your previous life, right? That's why you avoided my question."

In the past two years, Jin Cen has changed a lot, but his sharpness remains the same.Lu Xiaoman tried to calm down: "President Jin, please finish the chat as soon as possible, instead of talking about these meaningless things."

Jin Cen cooperated and continued without hesitation: "I know your favorite is being a director. I have several scripts that you must be interested in. As long as you want, those can get unlimited investment, or we can adopt Your own script, I won't ask you for anything in return, and if you don't want to, I won't appear in front of you during filming."

These words are so beautiful, but it is probably the most ironic proposal Lu Xiaoman has ever heard.

Speaking of which, the biggest dream of Ding Yu, who graduated from the directing department, is to become a director. Jin Cen knew this very early on.Back then, due to lack of qualifications, Ding Yu still couldn't get enough good resources even though his maiden job had a good reputation.After all, dark horses in this industry are exhausted very quickly.If Ding Yu wants to be a director, he must gain a firm foothold in this industry.The advantage of being a movie star is that more people are willing to invest in you.Therefore, Ding Yu, who also likes acting, decided to start as an actor.This is a shortcut, but it also requires steady progress.Every time he shoots a commercial film that he doesn't like, Ding Yu will comfort himself that accumulating fame is as important as making money.It's not that it's painful to make a commercial film that you don't like, but at that time, Jin Cen watched Ding Yu's efforts from the beginning to the end, and never once said that he helped Ding Yu find sponsorship to make a film for himself.

——Of course, Ding Yu understood Jin Cen's approach very well.On the contrary, if Jin Cen wanted to help Ding Yu with his own influence, Ding Yu would just refuse.He prefers to separate himself from Jin Cen so that he can get along with each other in private.

Later Ding Yu changed his mind, it was because of Jin Cen's upright support of Shen Yizui.It's one thing to be fair, it's another to be uncaring.Shen Yizui let Ding Yu understand that Jin Cen never wanted to be kind to him.

Ding Yu never imagined that one day Jin Cen would propose to invest in Lu Xiaoman.

——When Lu Xiaoman no longer wants to make movies.

For Lu Xiaoman, movies are an industry full of interactions.The filmmaker serves, so to speak, from one side of the ping-pong table, and the audience must return the ball on the other side for the activity to continue.It doesn’t matter whether you are a director or an actor, it’s the same, they are all conveying something, and only when the audience accepts the conveyed message can the director or actor be satisfied in this creation.But now, Lu Xiaoman no longer wants to convey it to the audience.A thousand cups of wine is less when you meet a bosom friend, but a few words are more than a few words if you don't speculate.There is a certain truth in this saying, without speculative audiences, Lu Xiaoman feels that the movie also loses its meaning.

Therefore, it is true that he still misses the life he once had, and it is more suitable for him to be busy and fulfilling, but no matter how much he likes this kind of life, making movies is no longer an option for him.

"When I wanted to make a movie, you never thought of investing in me, but you suddenly said that when I didn't want to make a movie. President Jin, are you playing with me?"

"Ding Ding, I..."

Lu Xiaoman immediately interrupted: "I am called Lu Xiaoman in this inn, please call me Mr. Lu, Mr. Jin."

Jin Cen changed his words patiently: "Xiao Man, at that time, I just felt that being a director requires accumulation. There are many directors who show their talents too early and then fail. I hope you can be more stable."

"Boss Jin, you are too good at talking." Lu Xiaoman sighed sincerely, "You give the newcomer a very important movie role, why are you not afraid of hurting him?"

Jin Cen replied slowly: "At that time, I didn't think what would happen to him, just to add him to your crew."

Lu Xiaoman had to spend some time to understand Jin Cen's rhetoric. "In other words, you added Shen Yizui to my crew mainly to scare me off?" He felt incredible.

Jin Cen nodded calmly: "That's right."

Lu Xiaoman didn't know where to start: "Is this how you always break up with your lover? It's fine if you don't pay the breakup fee, and you still take the opportunity to step on it?"

"Only you are like this." Jin Cen sighed imperceptibly, "I should have discovered that you were different then."

"...Do I still have to thank Mr. Jin for treating me differently?"

After a moment of silence, Jin Cen said, "Xiao Man, I regret it."

Lu Xiaoman was unmoved—to be precise, the more Jin Cen expressed regret, the harder it was for him to accept it.

"There is a word in this world called too late to regret."

"I know."

Lu Xiaoman took a deep breath and concluded his statement: "So, you regretted dumping me, and then asked me to forgive you, but I didn't forgive you. Is our matter over? Have we finished talking?"

"Our business is not over, Xiaoman."

"Mr. Jin, please don't call me by my name like that. Xiao Man is a name for friends. We don't have such friendship. Besides, you said that our business is not over, so next you are going to coerce me to forgive me. You? Or do you want me to do something else? You are rich and powerful, do I have to submit? "

"You're always so aggressive." Jin Cen's tone wasn't a reproach at all, but a sense of nostalgia. He was so unceremoniously slandered, but his expression softened unconsciously, "You know you will never give in to me , every time I end up giving in.”

"Now there's no need to talk about the past, right?"

"We won't tell you if you don't like it. As long as you don't disappear, don't worry, I won't really bother you."

Lu Xiaoman realized that Jin Cen had finished what he wanted to say, and the other party's words that clearly ended the conversation made him feel lost. "Are you sure you know what it means not to bother me?"

Jin Cen nodded slowly: "I know, it seems that the weather is quite cold now, you should go back to the inn quickly. I know you don't want to continue chatting with me."

Lu Xiaoman hesitated for a moment.Jin Cen's personality is there, he is definitely not someone who will really compromise...although he did compromise for Ding Yu several times in the past.But no matter what, people who ask for forgiveness and show a little bit of wanting to get back together should not be dismissed by Lu Xiaoman with a few casual words.The other party also foretells that their matter will not end.Lu Xiaoman couldn't figure out what the other party was planning.However, as the saying goes, when soldiers come, they will be blocked by water and soil, so Lu Xiaoman decided to skip this question for now.

As he turned back to the inn, another incident occurred to him.Yan Yan said that he was waiting for him in his room. Jin Cen should have come this time to see his cousin. Logically, he might be able to knock on his door after a while. To avoid seeing him again, Lu Xiaoman took precautions: "You and Yan Yan Is Yan still doing something? You can wait for him in the lobby, and I will let him come out."

Unexpectedly, Jin Cen shook his head directly, "I'm looking for him for nothing." Then, he paused, and looked into Lu Xiaoman's eyes seriously, "Yan Yan is young and impulsive, but he is very serious about relationships. If you really like to be with him The feeling of being together, I will help you."

Lu Xiaoman didn't take Jin Cen's words seriously.After all, this person had spoken well before, but he turned around and accused him of maliciously hurting others.He nodded perfunctorily, "Just as long as you are happy." He turned and left after speaking.
