Yan Qing did not allow himself to be miserable for too long. He took out his mobile phone and pushed down the slider that still moved smoothly. Fortunately, he was familiar with the Jiugongge input method, and the imprints of the keyboard keys that had almost disappeared were not left to Yan Qing's operation.
What impact will it bring?
He originally wanted to write down some problems in the memo on his mobile phone that he would have to spend time looking for clues to figure out.
What he experienced in less than 24 hours gave him too many doubts. The clouds and mountains were shrouded in mist, trapping him on an isolated island like a fog.
But he thought about it again and realized that he seemed to have the habit of leaving his cell phone to Miao Miao for safekeeping, so he gave up in the end.
Yan Qing just checked the text message inbox on his phone very carefully, including Sent, Drafts, Calendar, and Memos, but they were all empty.
It was so clean that in the previous life, Yan Qing always received some promotions with numbers starting with 106 every few days, but there was no verification message.
I have seen the call history of the mobile phone on the high-speed train. There are no missed calls. The fifteen recent call records are all from Miao Miao. The fifteen recent missed calls are all from her. The fifteen recent outgoing call records are all from her.
The three messages are for Miao Miao.
An outgoing call recorded was to a cleaning company whose name was in the address book. Yan Qing was not sure whether it was a housekeeping outsourcing service or something else, such as P&G Procter & Gamble (big mistake)... Finally
One outgoing call record was to a landline number named Hunan Food Delivery.
Miao Miao's accent does not have a trace of Erhua sound, except when she occasionally calls her Brother Qing'er, and according to the native people in the imperial capital, she should be called Brother Qing. Although on the high-speed train, she saw that her ID card said Beijing household registration, but Yan
Qing deduced that neither he nor Miao Miao were natives of the imperial capital.
In the address book, there were only twelve numbers stored in it. Yan Qing scanned it briefly and found nine typical Chinese names: Damao, Ge Ge, Xiao Miao, Teacher Qian Dejun, Teacher Sun Youzhi, Su Mengmeng, Plateau Cannon, and Ma Wen.
, people like Yi Lian all have mobile phone numbers with long strings of digits in their names.
After checking one by one, Yan Qing found that except for the number with the note "Gege" starting with 1212, the other numbers were all domestic numbers that he was relatively familiar with.
The three non-personal names are all 8-digit landline numbers, cleaning company, Hunan food delivery, and Dada special car.
Yan Qing dialed the number 1-212-787-2909 with "Gege" in the address book like a ghost.
Fortunately, the English tone on the other end of the phone clearly conveyed the message that this was an empty number.
"It's an empty number in New York, USA. Fortunately, it's an empty number. Otherwise, how would I have chatted with this "Ge Ge" after I got through?"
After hanging up the phone with some luck, Yan Qing continued his derivation:
"The registered residence written on Miao Miao's ID card is Shaoguan City, Eastern Guangdong Province."
This information was also glimpsed by Yan Qing when he went through the security check on the high-speed train. He didn't see his date of birth. Based on common sense, he guessed that he was at least eighteen years old when he served as Yan Qing's assistant. Miao Miao's actual age was probably 21.
About years old."
Miao Miao usually lives in the small building on the west side. The small building on the east side and the reverse room on the south side of the gate courtyard may be where the studio works. Only when Miao Miao goes out for something, will she make a phone call.
Call for food delivery.
Judging from the call records, Miao Miao rarely went out for meals. Among the nine and fifteen call records that can be traced back, Yan Qing only dialed this number at 13:10 on August 7.
The outgoing call record of the cleaning company is at 15:34 on August 9th. This should be the day when they set off from the Imperial Capital to Shanghai. Maybe both of them were ready to go out at this time.
Yan Qing had two inferences. This call might have been made by Miao Miao with his mobile phone. This cleaning company should have a key to their own home and the cleaning staff who came to the house would have already recorded the fingerprint access information.
In connection with the high-speed rail, Yan Qing actually asked Miao Miao whether there would be liquidated damages for terminating the subsequent cooperation agreement with the program team. Miao Miao's answer at that time was:
"Liquidated damages? What does that mean? Brother Qing'er, please don't break the rules. Unless there are force majeure reasons that are clearly marked in advance, no one can breach the agreement or contract.
In other words, even if the sky falls, we will have to do two pilot episodes with that person. Brother Qing, don’t be afraid, I have already thought about it. When the time comes to record, I will not leave you even an inch, and I will block anything that happens.
in front of you.
After fulfilling the pilot agreement, we can choose not to renew the contract."
Based on the cleanliness of the small building, an outgoing call to the cleaning company in the address book, and Miao Miao's answer, Yan Qing made several steps of reasoning:
Step one: The cleanliness of the home requires high-frequency cleaning work to support it. Miao Miao cannot complete such a large workload alone.
Step 2: The cleaning company has sufficient access rights to clean the home and studio, regardless of whether anyone is at home or not.
Step 3: What level of trust can Miao Miao feel confident in allowing a cleaning company to have full access to a normally operating actor's personal studio and actor's private residence?
Step 4: What kind of courage supports Miao Miao? Even though she is worried and afraid that Yan Qing will share the stage with Weng Huaijing again, she grits her teeth and insists on recording two episodes of the program.
Step 5: Trust and courage come from the strong binding force of the contract.
Yan Qing felt that he had captured a very important piece of news: the reason why we do not have the concept of "liquidated damages" is that no one can afford the consequences of a breach of contract that will cause a collapse of reputation.
It seems that the most basic value principle of China in this parallel time and space seems to be that once a contract is signed, it cannot be breached.
Originally, Yan Qing was planning to continue spreading the word, but then the phone rang and Miao Miao asked Yan Qing to come out for dinner.
The restaurant is located in an inverted room closest to the door of the courtyard in the front yard. The restaurant is equipped with an integrated family kitchen platform, and in the middle is a movable top-suction high-power range hood, which still maintains the overall consistency.
Clean and tidy style.
The dinner prepared by Miao Miao was very simple, including a boiled egg, a small plate of pickled mustard, a bowl of white porridge and a bowl of kelp and bone soup. Miao Miao drank a small bowl of soup and announced that she had finished eating and had to go to work first.
The office will print out the new contract to replace the cooperation agreement sent by the program team. I will go over the new contract with Yan Qing later. If there are no problems, I will sign, seal, scan and send it back to the program team tonight.
Before Miao Miao left, she asked Yan Qing to remember to come to the office on the second floor of the studio after eating.
After Yan Qing finished eating slowly, he even had time to study how to use the automatic dishwasher in the integrated kitchen platform. After he put the chopsticks and dishes as they were into the hidden disinfection cabinet, he walked through them leisurely.
From the small front courtyard, the inner courtyard leads to the small building on the right.
It was already dark at this time, and Yan Qing, who was downstairs, saw that only the window of a room on the right side of the second floor had the light on.
Yan Qing planned to walk around the first floor before going up to find Miao Miao.
The structure of this small building that serves as a studio is similar to Yan Qing's main building, except that the first floor does not have a high-ceiling open space design. The translucent glass curtain wall divides the space on the first floor into six large and small rooms.
The corridor outside the room is covered with dark imitation cashmere carpet. In the middle is still the spiral staircase with wooden handrails connecting the upper and lower floors.
The three smaller rooms are the tea room, men's and women's restrooms. There are special sign cards with corresponding Chinese and English signs on the glass sliding doors.
The glass curtain wall separates the largest room, and the sign says it is the pull-tab room.
Yan Qing pushed open the sliding door of the film room and found that inside was a small trapezoidal theater with a small height difference.
The lower wide-side trapezoidal wall is a liftable curtain, and the slightly higher narrow-side trapezoidal wall is equipped with two sets of projection equipment, a film projector and a digital projector.
There is also a built-in storage cabinet built into the narrow wall, in which are neatly stacked twenty to thirty portable hard drives that are probably used to store digital-format movies.
A total of four rows of movie-viewing seats are arranged in the middle area of the movie room, with four separate movie-viewing sofas in each row.
Perhaps because a single film reel takes up a lot of space, Yan Qing could not find a cabinet to store the film reel.
"Perhaps there is a special film tray warehouse in the courtyard or in the office building."
With this thought in mind, Yan Qing closed the door of the tab room.
