Chapter 68: My Peach Blossom Luck
"I don't know." Beside Qi Hui Hui was puzzled. Why should I know?
However, before the transmigration, the internet was so developed that Beside Qi Hui Hui had actually scrolled past one or two such videos.
It seemed to say that some beer enthusiasts made them themselves, and after a bit of development, it became an industry.
He couldn't remember clearly; surfing the internet is like that—knowledge goes in and out of the brain seven times, leaving nothing behind.
"Then you still want me to find a beer hall?" Zhang Ruoyun was speechless; he had thought Beside Qi Hui Hui was also a craft beer enthusiast.
As it turned out, he knew nothing about it!
"You don't understand." Beside Qi Hui Hui glanced at him and said slowly: "Bars are gold-melting pits, places of debauchery, sound and color, dogs and horses, where people indulge in filth."
Back when he was at the construction site, those older brothers often dragged Beside Qi Hui Hui to bars to drink together.
After going a few times, Beside Qi Hui Hui didn't want to go anymore; such places wore down a person's will too much.
He wanted to take the First-Class Constructor exam.
Later, he had no choice; he couldn't refuse, so he went along.
However, after arriving, he didn't sit for long before making an excuse to go to the restroom, treating everyone on the way, then slipping away to go back and memorize books for studying.
Secretly outwork you all to death!
"What about the tavern?" Little Zhang asked puzzledly: "Is there any difference?"
"Different!" Beside Qi Hui Hui said seriously: "Taverns allow for struggle!"
"Cough, cough, cough..." Little Zhang choked: "Senior brother, let's not say that; we are art students, yes, but not fine arts students."
Beside Qi Hui Hui shrugged, took a sip of wine, and asked: "Has your car accident been handled?"
"Hmm... originally it could have been finished a few days ago." Zhang Ruoyun poured out his grievances: "But that woman was nagging and nitpicking; she's so annoying."
"I've never met such a troublesome woman before, and she's even someone in the industry, named Tang Ting; you must never cooperate with her in the future..."
Before he finished speaking, he noticed Beside Qi Hui Hui staring straight at him.
"Senior brother, what are you looking at?" Little Zhang was puzzled; was something wrong with what I said?
Beside Qi Hui Hui rubbed his chin, his tone eerie: "I see your cheeks are rosy and your forehead is full; this means a peach blossom luck is coming!"
"Since when can you read... wait, are you talking about that woman?" Zhang Ruoyun was about to make a joke but suddenly realized something was wrong.
Immediately his face darkened: "What peach blossom luck? I have no interest in her!"
"So fierce and so troublesome..."
When he entered the traffic police station, he learned she was a woman from Sichuan Province, still studying in Chongqing City.
A genuine Sichuan-Chongqing Tyrannosaurus Rex, that's what she is!
Before the words had fully faded, Little Zhang noticed Beside Qi Hui Hui holding an Apple phone, filming himself.
"Senior brother, what are you doing?"
"I'm recording it to play when you get married." Beside Qi Hui Hui chuckled, saying with great interest.
Zhang Ruoyun rolled his eyes, not caring much: "As long as you're happy... hey, isn't this an iPhone 4?"
"How did you manage to buy this thing?" Little Zhang suddenly exclaimed in surprise again.
This thing had just come out not long ago; the digital circle went crazy, trying their utmost to snatch one up; he wanted to get one to play with but couldn't buy it.
"Someone gave it to me." Beside Qi Hui Hui said.
"Who?" Little Zhang was curious; could it be a woman?
Otherwise, why would Senior brother mention peach blossom luck for no reason?
"Jing Tian, from your undergraduate class batch." Beside Qi Hui Hui said; Little Zhang was from the higher vocational class, not a classmate of Jing Tian.
"Oh, it's her." Little Zhang suddenly understood, then squinted his eyes and chuckled: "You say I have peach blossom luck, but it turns out it's your peach blossom luck!"
Beside Qi Hui Hui was speechless; he was telling the truth, why wouldn't this kid believe him?
"Forget it, let's talk about serious matters." Beside Qi Hui Hui said: "I have a script here, a military drama, a brotherhood drama."
"How about you join in?"
What Beside Qi Hui Hui was talking about was naturally "I Am a Special Forces Soldier".
Although the male lead of this drama is Xiao Zhuang, the true protagonists are the six brothers of the Lone Wolf Team B.
Every character is vivid and lifelike.
If Little Zhang comes, he can have a memorable role, which would be good for him in the future.
Hearing this, Little Zhang was stunned, then helplessly shrugged: "Senior brother, my dad has arranged a new drama."
"It's called 'Black Fox'; this time I am the male lead, with Wen Zhang as the supporting actor, and it's filmed by the original crew of 'Snow Leopard'."
Actually, if his dad wasn't uninterested in Senior brother, he would have wanted to pull Beside Qi Hui Hui over there.
Hearing this, Beside Qi Hui Hui nodded and said nothing more.
Little Zhang hasn't had a falling out with his own father yet.
Moreover, compared to 'Black Fox', which his own father personally directed and was filmed by the original crew of 'Snow Leopard', the drama 'I Am a Special Forces Soldier' currently has no advantages to offer.
Beside Qi Hui Hui had no reason to persuade Little Zhang to give up 'Black Fox'.
To be honest, he couldn't quite understand Old Zhang's attitude toward Little Zhang.
What he saw in the 'Snow Leopard' crew set, Old Zhang's seemingly present yet absent dislike for Little Zhang, was not fake.
There was also the incident of setting up his son, taking the 150 million from selling out Little Zhang to promote his third wife, Feng Yue.
And this so-called wife was even five years younger than Zhang Ruoyun.
This too was not fake.
But it cannot be denied that Old Zhang did indeed help Little Zhang in his career.
During 'Snow Leopard', if the investors hadn't strongly opposed it, the male lead role would have gone to Little Zhang.
And now, Old Zhang has even gathered the original crew of 'Snow Leopard' and even used Wen Zhang to act alongside Little Zhang.
Not only that, a few years later there was also a new Snow Leopard, and Little Zhang was likewise the male lead.
From an outsider's perspective, a father going this far was indeed the most meticulous care for his son.
If he hadn't seen Old Zhang's baffling dislike for Little Zhang; if he didn't know that later on Old Zhang would screw over his son, Beside Qi Hui Hui might have truly believed it too.
Not only that, stepmother Liu Bei's goodness toward Little Zhang was also plain to see, which showed that Old Zhang and Little Zhang sometimes lived together.
People, sure enough, are all complicated!
Beside Qi Hui Hui shook his head—an upright official can't even settle family affairs, let alone someone like him who was nothing at all.
The two chatted a while longer about recent happenings, sharing their little amusing stories, and after two and a half hours they parted.
Beside Qi Hui Hui realized that at this stage he couldn't help Little Zhang, because the kid kept thinking about his dad's dramas.
Even if Beside Qi Hui Hui wanted to drag him along to act in other dramas, the kid probably wouldn't have the inclination.
Before transmigrating, what was the reason he went to act in other people's dramas… Beside Qi Hui Hui pondered in his heart, but couldn't recall the specific reason.
How could he possibly remember? A civil engineering worker was exhausted to death every day; the moment he got home his brain went blank and he thought about nothing, and the content of videos he scrolled past he simply couldn't retain.
He only remembered a few scattered fragments.
Beside Qi Hui Hui's life returned to calm once more—military training by day, relaxation and entertainment by night, teasing that girl Jing Tian from time to time.
Once Old Ling comes back, find him for drinks again.
Hopefully he can return before my audition succeeds, otherwise Beside Qi Hui Hui will be off to military training.
But just as Beside Qi Hui Hui was enjoying his leisure life without work, Zhang Ruoyun called.
He revealed the news that Old Ling had gotten divorced and was at home feeling down!
This matter hadn't been leaked to the media yet; Little Zhang had only learned of it through private channels.
Hearing this, Beside Qi Hui Hui scratched his head a little, and decided that in two days he'd take Little Zhang along to go check on Old Ling's situation.
Beside Qi Hui Hui was afraid Old Ling wouldn't open the door for the two of them.
……
If he remembered correctly, Old Ling was the one who never recovered from this storm.
Meanwhile, Flower of Evil took off all the way, reaching heights far surpassing Ling Xiaosu's.
That won't do!
