After Entering a Book, He Just Wants to be a Flower Vase

Not long after Jiang Dao returned to the private room, Lu Zhengrong also came back.

Everyone chatted a few more words, and the banquet quickly ended.

Jiang Dao took the drunk Zhu Yao back to the guest room upstairs, and he didn't take good care of him, leaving him there to fend for himself. He just stayed aside to prevent accidents.

Zhu Yao dazedly tossed about for a while, washed his face, took off his coat and shoes, sat on the carpet beside the bed, and waved his hand to Jiang Dao: "You... you go back, I... don't need you to take care of me."

Seeing that he wouldn't die of drunkenness, Jiang Dao didn't worry at all, and got up to leave.

Unexpectedly, before reaching the door, he was grabbed by Zhu Yao again.

Zhu Yao frowned: "Where are you going? You... are not allowed to go anywhere! Why do I feel uneasy and kind... that, uh, that director... don't go there Find him. Come back, sit down... sit down! Don't go anywhere!"

Jiang Dao: ...

He understands the truth, but what does it mean to pull him to sit on the carpet?

Reluctantly, Jiang Dao sat cross-legged on the ground and looked at Zhu Yao with his chin resting.

Zhu Yao tore off his tie and threw it aside, leaning his head against the mattress behind him. After a while, he sighed heavily and muttered: "I have a little guess... but I really didn't expect that Xinghe and Xinghe Media are so big. My company also engages in these things... I thought... Xiao Dao, you must not go to Li Cheng."

"Well, I won't go." Jiang Dao had no choice but to agree casually.

In the original book, there are very few descriptions of Zhu Yao, and when he appears on camera a few times, he always looks indifferent and unkind, and the villain Jiang Dao in the original book does not have a good relationship with him.

After getting along these days after time travel, Jiang Dao also thinks that Zhu Yao is a very calm and ruthless person who can only do business... No, compared to a "person", in Jiang Dao's eyes, he was more like a gift from a book. "Character card", empty skin but no flesh and blood.

But when he was drunk, he looked like a "human".

The phone vibrated, and Chu Yinlong called from WeChat, and Jiang Dao picked it up: "What's the matter?"

Chu Yinlong knowingly asked: "Is the banquet over?"

Jiang Dao said "hmm": "It's just over."

Chu Yinlong: "Aren't you drunk?"

Before Jiang Dao could answer, Zhu Yao muttered a few words next to him, and suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm.

"What I should remind you is that there may be a problem with this game. I'm not sure, but..." Zhu Yao spoke incoherently, "...I shouldn't have brought you here! But, but I can't help it, I can't I resigned again, my family is now, I..."

"Is there someone next to you?" Chu Yinlong's tone became serious.

"It's Zhu Yao." Jiang Dao said helplessly, "He helped me hold back a lot of alcohol, and I got drunk and went crazy."

"... Oh." Chu Yinlong was silent for a moment, and asked, "Can you take care of me? Do you need help? I can ask Lu Zhengrong to send an assistant over there."

Jiang Dao paused, curious: "Are you familiar with that Mr. Lu?"

Beside, Zhu Yao suddenly roared: "Boss Lu can't do it either! You can't...you can't go to them, and you're not allowed to go anywhere!"

Jiang Dao: ...

Chu Yinlong: ...

"Zhu Yao knows that there is a problem with today's wine bureau?" Chu Yinlong asked.

"According to what he meant, it seems to be a guess, but I'm not sure." Jiang Dao laughed, "However, when our company arranges the entertainment, it should be to try the 'luck'."

Chu Yinlong was silent.

Jiang Dao was in a good mood, and asked again with a smile: "Are you familiar with Mr. Lu?"

Chu Yinlong sighed: "Yes, very familiar."

Jiang Dao tutted: "Then you said you wanted to help me, why did you only mention the schedule? Since Mr. Lu is the employer, she can squeeze me out of this small role with a single word, and there is no need for me to leave it in your movie The role? It's really scheming."

Chu Yinlong was speechless.

After a while, he said helplessly: "You really don't want to act so much? If that's the case, I'm too embarrassed to persuade you anymore...I'll go back and tell Lu Zhengrong to eliminate you."

Jiang Dao glanced at Zhu Yao and found that he was lying on the carpet and fell asleep, so he got up and hid on the balcony.

"What you suggested before can actually be discussed."

Jiang Dao overlooked the night of the city, and his tone was as calm as water.

"You also know what I want. If the liquidated damages can be settled, I can act in a few plays for you in return...but I won't sign a brokerage contract."

Otherwise, staying there for several years would be no different from staying in Galaxy Media.

After a moment of silence, Chu Yinlong smiled wryly: "This matter is not directly decided by me or Lu Zhengrong. Using funds to help the artist pay liquidated damages in advance, and the artist has not signed the brokerage contract, it is impossible to apply for the funds... , Longcheer Entertainment is not doing charity, I can't kidnap it with personal relationship."

The truth is true, the bigger the family business, the less able to act willfully, otherwise it is easy to cause trouble.

However, Jiang Dao had already considered this point, and continued: "What if the loan is in the name of an individual? You and I will sign a personal agreement and repay it with the film salary I may receive in the future."

There was another silence on the phone.

Then came Chu Yinlong's chuckle.

"It seems..." His tone became lighter, "...It's also a way."

"It's just that we don't know each other well after all, and a million is not a small sum." Jiang Dao said half-jokingly, "I don't know if you believe me or not?"

"We'll have an interview when you come back from Linshi," Chu Yinlong said.

"Okay, it's settled."

Temporarily setting the direction of future development, Jiang Dao hung up the phone and went back indoors.

Zhu Yao fell asleep on the carpet and snored loudly, but Jiang Dao didn't force him into bed, and left lightly, returning to his own room next door.

In the early morning of the next day, Jiang Dao was awakened by a sudden knock on the door.

He took off his earphones, got out of bed and opened the door, only to find Zhu Yao standing outside the door with a chicken nest on his head.

The moment he saw Jiang Dao, Zhu Yao was obviously relieved.

He stepped into the room, closed the door behind his back, and asked, "Didn't you... you slept here all this time?"

Jiang Dao turned into the bathroom and said casually, "Well, it's always there, don't worry."

Zhu Yao pushed his glasses and seemed to want to say something, but he didn't speak in the end, his face was as cold and indifferent as usual.

Jiang Dao squeezed out the toothpaste, held a water glass, and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Zhu Yao was slightly embarrassed, and coughed lightly: "It's okay, I just want to tell you, I will leave for the airport in an hour, and see if you don't oversleep."

After speaking, he turned and left Jiang Dao's room.

……

By the time the two of them boarded the car bound for the airport, Zhu Yao had completely recovered his previous calm and seemingly easy-going appearance: "Fortunately, your role should be stable this time. Go back to the company—"

"Maybe it's not stable." Jiang Dao ruthlessly interrupted, "You're drunk, I don't know, I offended Lu Zhengrong later, she said she would not let me join the group no matter what."

Zhu Yao almost bumped his head on the steering wheel.

"How could you offend Lu Zhengrong?" He stared in disbelief, "Could it be that she..."

In the middle of the conversation, he stopped himself and put on a serious face: "It's okay, some things can't be touched, not this time, there will always be a next time, you are still young, you have a chance to become famous."

After staring at Zhu Yao twice, Jiang Dao silently looked back and said nothing.

Back in Yan City, as soon as he got off the plane, Zhu Yao received news that Jiang Dao had been eliminated.

The two tacitly agreed that neither of them mentioned this matter again. They returned to the company and went about their own affairs.

In fact, Jiang Dao has nothing to do.

Apart from recording variety shows and yesterday's audition, he actually has no work arrangements recently.After returning to the dormitory to tidy up briefly, he made an appointment with Chu Yinlong on WeChat, and then he ran to class with great energy.

……

On Saturday, Jiang Dao came to the coffee shop where he had an appointment with Chu Yinlong alone.

Seeing the person standing outside the door, Chu Yinlong couldn't laugh or cry: "Why are you dressed like this? No wonder my friend didn't dare to open the door just now and asked me to come out to pick him up."

Jiang Dao took off his sunglasses: "Isn't it normal for an artist to take a taxi and pretend to be a disguise?"

Chu Yinlong was speechless: "Then there's no need to dress up like this... rustic."

Jiang Dao looked down at his clothes: "The shirt is put in the waistband, the key is hung on the belt, and the sandals are paired with socks. I think many people wear it like this."

Chu Yinlong's friend brought tea to the two of them. Hearing this, he couldn't stop laughing.

Jiang Dao sat down on the sofa in the booth, raised his hand and pulled the plaid shirt out of the waistband of his trousers, and unbuttoned it—well, there was a white vest inside.

Chu Yinlong was speechless, but remembered something, and asked, "How do I get a taxi? Haven't got a driver's license yet?"

"Well, I haven't learned to drive yet." This was confirmed by Jiang Dao a long time ago. The original owner just didn't take the driver's license test, which saved him trouble. "I plan to learn after the contract is terminated."

"That's a coincidence," Chu Yinlong said, "The character I left for you has a drag racing scene, you really need to have a driver's license, otherwise you can't touch the steering wheel."

"All the roles have already been left?" Jiang Dao was surprised, "Shouldn't we talk about the personal agreement first, and then talk about what dramas we will act in the future?"

Chu Yinlong smiled: "Because I believe that you will not refuse the conditions I offer."

As he said that, he took a document from his assistant and pushed it in front of Jiang Dao: "It's just a draft. If you want to add or change any terms, just say it. We don't need to be polite to each other."

"Well, let me take a look first." Jiang Dao opened the file and read it carefully with lowered eyes.

As he had asked before, Chu Yinlong agreed to lend him a loan in his own name. The amount has not been written yet, so he needs to negotiate with Galaxy Media before deciding.For negotiations with Galaxy Media, Chu Yinlong Studio will send a professional team to take over, and Jiang Dao does not need to handle it himself.

Next, Jiang Dao can pay 60.00% of the fair remuneration of the project by participating in the film that Chu Yinlong Studio is preparing to make, until the payment is fully paid off.If Jiang Dao is not satisfied with the script provided by the studio, he can refuse to act and wait for the next opportunity.

The terms are very simple, and it doesn't restrict Jiang Dao's personal freedom. It doesn't even stipulate that Jiang Dao must repay the debt with his film salary—that is, if Jiang Dao buys a lottery ticket one day and wins millions, he will directly pay off the debt in full. , then he does not have to act in any films for Chu Yinlong Studio.

Jiang Dao looked at the black and white writing in his hand, and felt a little touched in his heart.

No wonder Chu Yinlong believed that he would not refuse, because this agreement was essentially just an IOU, and Chu Yinlong did not use this debt to force him to do anything.

"A suggestion, here, change it." Jiang Dao put the agreement back on the table, pointing to one of the sentences, "Change it to 'During the duration of the debt, Jiang Dao is obliged to obey all work arrangements of Chu Yinlong Studio'."

Chu Yinlong looked at Jiang Dao in surprise.

At the same time, Jiang Dao raised his eyes, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "You know I want freedom, and of course I know what you want."
