Chapter 85 Mermaid (3)
The hotel did not provide new clothes, so Gu Huai had to wash his clothes that were soaked in seawater first, blow dry with the air ducts equipped in the room, and then continued wearing them first. The next day, he took a bus back to the city from a bus stop near Haibin Park. No accidents happened on the way, and Gu Huai successfully returned to his home in his memory.
It is in a community, which is considered an urban village in City C, and its development is relatively lagging, which can be seen from the architecture.
The houses all looked relatively old. Gu Huai took the stairs to the floor where his home was, stood at the door, and took out the key that was lucky enough to be washed away by the sea in his trouser pocket.
As soon as the door opened, Gu Huai could basically see the whole room at a glance. It was quite small, but it was enough to live in such a space alone.
When there is no choice in the environment, Gu Huai has always been at ease with the situation. The accommodation conditions are not too bad. Just get used to it and move out when you have the ability.
The first thing Gu Huai did after returning home was not to flip through the script that was opened on the single bed, but to open the drawer and record how much deposit he had left to use now.
A penny can stump the hero. Gu Huai now not only owes 300 yuan borrowed from a stranger, but he has not paid his rent this month. Gu Huaigang thought so, and not long after a fierce door slap sounded.
"Smack--"
The door of the house was even vibrated because it was photographed. This was the effect of using the whole palm to shoot it hard.
He could almost guess who would be the one who would be shooting the door. Gu Huai scratched his cheek with his fingertips and opened the door naturally.
The person who shot the door vigorously was the landlord's wife of the house. She was over forty years old and was a middle-aged woman who would have nothing to do and would play mahjong or dance square dance with her friends. The little girl who followed the landlord's wife was the other party's youngest daughter. As soon as she saw Gu Huai open the door, she ran into the door first.
"Brother Gu Huai, didn't you promise to sign me last time? I brought my storybook here. Can you sign it on this page?" The little girl with shoulder-length hair turned the book to the title page, and then held the storybook in her hand high towards the young man.
Before Gu Huai could respond, the landlord said on the side, "A man is not a big star, what kind of signature is needed."
As the landlord, Qian Lan still knows a lot about the tenants in her house. The young man in front of her is indeed an actor, but she probably just plays a supporting role. She has never seen the other person's face on TV.
The little girl stomped her feet with no pleasure when she heard this, and retorted loudly with righteous words: "Brother Gu Huai is better than big stars, and she will definitely be better than them in the future."
And she felt that the young man seemed to have become better, a little different from what she saw a few days ago... The little girl looked up at Gu Huai and blinked when this idea came up.
If defined by fan type, this little girl can really be regarded as Gu Huai's beauty fan, and is one of the few fans of Gu Huai at present.
Unable to resist her little daughter, the landlord had to ask the other party to finish the signature first. When the little girl happily returned the storybook, she asked in a dry and stiff tone: "You have been delayed for almost a week this month. When are you planning to pay it?"
Gu Huaihe was coming to collect debts by the landlord. With a gentle expression, he expressed his apology first, and then handed over the last bit of cash deposit that he had just turned out from the drawer. "Because I haven't found a part-time job for a while, I'm worried that the living expenses will not be enough after paying the rent, so I've been owed for so long. In the future, I will hand over the rent to you on time. I'm very embarrassed."
The young man in front of him suddenly became so polite and took the initiative to explain and admit his mistake. The landlord's wife was a little unacceptable. For several months, the other party had been owing rent without saying a word, and she always asked her to come to urge him. In addition, the young man in front of him always kept silent and refused to change. Qian Lan really had no good feelings for the other party, but the current situation surprised her very much.
"I'm not the kind of person who is completely unkind. Sometimes if you really have a special difficulty and come to our house to explain the situation, I will give you some grace." The landlord's wife softened her face that had been stern since the moment, and she no longer looked aggressive.
If the young man in front of him was so polite in the morning and knew that he would explain it to others, she would not have said that he would not have given him a good look because he owed the rent.
"Yeah, thank you." Gu Huai nodded and bent his eyes slightly.
The young man is born beautiful, and since his blood awakens, his eyebrows and eyes have added a bit of unexplained and strange beauty. When he turns his eyes slightly, he brings out this unique beauty to the fullest, making people involuntarily look at the other person.
After that, the landlord's wife pulled her youngest daughter away, and looked down on the road to look at the story book that was hugged by her daughter as a treasure. Although she didn't care about the entertainment industry, the actors and celebrities she saw on TV did seem to be better than her tenant, and maybe the other party could really become a big star one day...
However, the landlord's wife still thinks that the possibility is very low. She has seen young people acting for several years, but she has not made any name until now. Instead, she is quite poor and it is more practical to find some serious jobs.
After sending a Buddha away, Gu Huai couldn't help but have another headache. From his original memory, he knew that he didn't have much deposit left, but Gu Huai didn't expect that the amount of deposit would be so small, and there wouldn't be much left after paying the rent.
The audition is tomorrow. If he successfully wins the role and completes the signing, he will get a pay, but last night he promised to pay Ao Qi back today...
The situation may be a bit awkward, but Editor Gu really can't repay the other party's 300 yuan now.
"Sorry... I promised to pay you back today, but something happened temporarily, and I might have to pay back a few days later."
He is a stranger who has never been known for his past life, and there is no question of trust or not. After sending this message to the other party, Gu Huai lowered his head and looked helpless and prepared for being regarded as a person who cheated money by the other party.
At this time, in a restrained and luxurious high-rise residence, there were more than 20 people sitting silently in the spacious conference room. The atmosphere was very serious, and it was obvious that this was a very important meeting.
The content of the meeting is not important or not, but the form must be serious and solemn. This is a common example when the non-human Union Association holds a meeting.
"Dulululu--" text message ringtone.
The serious atmosphere of the meeting was broken by the sudden message ringtone. Under the eyes of everyone, Ao Qi smiled very well and waved his hand to everyone, "Don't worry about me, the boss is the only one in our clan. You can discuss it with the boss."
Among the more than twenty people at this meeting, in addition to the leaders of various non-human races, there were also the capable subordinates of these leaders. The person Ao Qi refers to was the man sitting in front of his right.
The man sitting in that seat looked extremely handsome, with his eyelids drooping habitually. His cold eyebrows and eyes not only showed a cold air, but also showed a heavy sense of oppression and natural deterrence.
"Huh... it's Xiaoyu." The boss was having a meeting in front, but his subordinates were whispering behind him. Ao Qi had no conscience about his actions, and soon blatantly touched his phone to reply to the message.
The eldest son doesn't care about his lateness, and he is a scattered person, so the other party will definitely not care about it. As long as the eldest son doesn't care, Ao Qi can be considered lawless to a certain extent.
"It's okay, it's only 300 yuan. You can't pay it back. If you're tight on money recently, do you want me to lend you some more money?"
In terms of race, he can still have such a little distant relative. The most important thing is that Ao Qi feels that the young man he met is quite in line with his horizon, so he is happy even if he wants to be a sucker.
However, Ao Qi's question was of course rejected by the young man who was not sure where he was. When he refused, he expressed his gratitude to him again.
When Gu Huai met such a kind-hearted person who should even be described as silly and sweet, no matter what, Gu Huai couldn't think of such a good reason as a stranger to him for nothing, so he could only send him a few more special good person cards.
After the text message was exchanged, Ao Qi put away his phone, but he still didn't care much about the remarks made by representatives of various races at the meeting. In his opinion, the content of this meeting was nothing more than arresting non-human creatures who violated the association's regulations in the human world, and it was not a big deal.
As soon as the meeting ended, Ao Qi followed his boss and couldn't control himself, "Boss, boss, I'll tell you, there's a reason I'm late this time. You're not angry about my lateness, but you don't ask, I..."
"No interest." The person walking in front still drooped his eyelids, and the cold eyes were revealed in his narrow phoenix eyes. The voice also clearly gave people a cold texture, which contrasted with his cold and handsome face.
"I met a small fish halfway through..." After insisting on saying this, Ao Qi also emphasized, "It is a very beautiful small fish. It should have just awakened its bloodline. The more magical thing is that the other party seemed to have awakened by his personal will."
"No interest." There was no emotional ups and downs in his voice. Yan Lin repeated these three words coldly in response.
OK. Ao Qi shut up and gave up the idea of arousing his boss's curiosity. He originally wanted to say that he could not see which clan the beautiful little fish was, but he couldn't even see it. This incident made Ao Qi feel really strange.
I really don’t know what can make my boss interested in this world. After so many years, Ao Qi still feels that he can’t understand the other person. When his boss is alone in the courtyard, he looks from afar, and sometimes he feels like the other person is trying hard to recall something important.
The meeting ended here, and on Gu Huai's side, he was lying on the head of the bed and flipping through the script. With the eyes of a professional screenwriter, Gu said that the script he had in his hand could not even score 60 points by his standards, but as an idol drama script, it was actually qualified.
The script is a modern background. The character he is going to audition for is the third male character, and the character setting is... the gangster boss.
