Chapter 20
Chapter 20
"You forgot to bring something?" Ji Bandit just finished cleaning up the mess on the table, he collapsed on the sofa in a daze, and when he heard the knock on the door, he thought it was Zhuang Jichuan who came back halfway.He didn't think much about it, and ran over barefoot in a hurry, and opened the door without even looking at it.
The sensor lights in the corridor light up instantly with the sound of the door opening, and the soft white light drives away the haze in the darkness.
"it's me."
Zhou Nan leaned against the handrail of the stairs behind him, with the suitcase standing beside him. He pinched his cigarette, pulled his hand out of his coat pocket, and took a step forward.
"I'm late, sorry."
Bandit Ji was so surprised that he couldn't speak for a while, and asked in a daze, "What's wrong with you? Aren't you busy with something?"
"It's a little troublesome, but it's been resolved. It's not, I came here to apologize to you."
He was travel and dusty, like a person returning home from a long journey, swallowing bitterness and hoarseness alone.After the people in the room opened the door, they waved their hands lightly and said, "I'm back."
Bandit Ji asked him to come in sideways, only then remembered that he was still barefoot, so he ran back to the living room and put on his shoes.
"Put on this pair first, there are not many people in the house, and they are still new." Ji Bandit bent down and took out a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet, and put them on the ground.
Zhou Nan carried the suitcase into the house and closed the door with his backhand.
The two sat down on the sofa, Ji Bandit glanced across the suitcase, and then met Zhou Nan's gaze.The two spoke together.
"Why did you bring all the suitcases?"
"Can I stay with you for a while?"
Ji Bandit couldn't help laughing when he saw how anxious he was, "You were kicked out by your family? Why don't you stay in a hotel?"
"It's a complete fallout. The credit card is frozen, and the money on my body can't even pay the rent. Why do I stay in a hotel?" Zhou Nan laughed at himself: "It's in trouble, let's help, big star."
Ji Bandit knew it wasn't that simple, but if he refused, he couldn't do it, so he turned his head and said, "It's okay to stay temporarily, but you have to work, and the housework is divided in half, how about it?"
Zhou Nan agreed very readily, showing a sure-fire smile: "It's a deal!"
In fact, Zhou Nan's calm appearance concealed his difficult encounters these days.
Since he separated from Ji Bandit that day, he was invited back home by his father's assistant.In the pretense of saying that they miss him, in fact they want to have a good talk with him.
My father was outraged by his repeated refusal to take over the family business.In addition, I just found out that he recently ran out of business to play tricks on the set, and I was so angry that I dropped the tea set for making tea.
As soon as Zhou Nan came home, he was called to the study. His brother sat in the living room on the first floor and gave him a blank look, and sighed helplessly.
"Back?" The middle-aged man sitting on the chair said in a low voice.
"En." Zhou Nan walked to the table and looked at Zhou Ningyuan.
"I heard that you've been doing well in the film crew recently, and you're so focused on playing tricks." Zhou Ningyuan spoke slowly, but his tone was filled with suppressed anger.
Zhou Nan thought about it and replied: "It was also a whim. I didn't realize that I'm quite interested now. I don't think it's too bad to be an actor."
Zhou Ningyuan said: "It was you who said you were interested in finance, so your family sent you to study abroad. Now that you have learned it, you go to become an actor? Then you have learned all these years for nothing!?"
"I just feel that I can live in any way, why should I listen to your arrangements? Besides, those properties in the family have nothing to do with me, why should I join in the fun?"
"Aren't you interested in acting? You're clearly out to get angry with us for a moment." Zhou Ningyuan slapped the table with his palm, his eyes widened with anger, "Childish!"
"Even if I'm trying to be quick, you shouldn't have sent people to watch me!" Zhou Nan was also angry, and his attitude didn't soften in the slightest.
"Spying on you? It's not just that simple now. From now on, you'll just stay at home for a few days and don't go anywhere. If you figure it out, I agree to work in the company and let you go out."
"This is a restriction of personal freedom, and I cannot agree to it."
"Then stay at home!" Zhou Ningyuan said, slamming the door and leaving.
Zhou Nan was locked up like this for a week, neither father nor son would let go, and no one could persuade them to change their minds.
Until the day of the appointment with Ji Bandit came, Zhou Nan thought that he would not be able to make it no matter what, but his father asked him to go to the study again that evening.
To his surprise, his elder brother was also in the study, and he had been winking at him since he entered the door.
Zhou Nan stepped forward in doubt, and saw a contract on the table.
Sitting opposite him, his father said unwillingly, "Your brother has said a lot of good things for you. This is the only way I can accept at present."
Zhou Lan took the words, stretched out his hand to push the contract towards Zhou Nan, and said, "After discussing with my father, you are allowed to be an actor temporarily, but there are two conditions.
One, sign with the entertainment company at home, all the itinerary is subject to the arrangement of the company, but you can choose the script yourself.
Second, if you can’t produce a work that satisfies us within one year, and you are still unknown, then you have to work in the company.
You have no right not to accept it, and this is the most tolerant way for you.For a year, you can live as you want, the family will not give you any financial support, your credit card has been frozen, and the car has been impounded.You can continue to live at home, of course, it is best to choose to move out by yourself. "
Holding the contract, Zhou Nan felt the corners of his eyes twitch with anger.He thought for a while, but didn't speak.
"You can refuse, but at worst you will be locked up. But there is one more thing I should tell you. A few days ago, I asked the company to sign the kid you met on the set." Zhou Lan's eyes were sly, with a smile on his face. Smiling and looking at Zhou Nan.
"This has nothing to do with him! You are too much?!"
"We didn't say what to do to him. Why are we so nervous? It's reasonable for the company to sign artists with better quality."
"Don't worry about him, warn your subordinates." Zhou Nanfa ruthlessly signed his name at the bottom of the contract, dropped the pen, and strode out.
He didn't want to stay for a minute longer in this calculating home.
After packing the few luggage without saying goodbye, Zhou Nan walked out of the villa where he had lived since he was a child, carrying the suitcase by himself.
He stood under the warm orange light of the street lamp and called Zhong Chizuo.
"How is the acquisition of shares? Speed up. I will take out all the deposits in my hands. This matter must be successful."
"Take them all out? Are you crazy?"
"I'm sober, and so are you. I don't want to wait any longer to leave this home."
"...Since you are willing to go all out, then I will also give away all my wealth, and it will be done."
"Okay, let's get back in touch."
Zhou Nan hung up the phone and let out a barely audible sigh.It was because he was too naive, he thought that if he had a firm attitude, he could resist everything.But these days of house arrest, and the unashamed confrontation with his father and brother made him deeply feel his powerlessness.
He doesn't want to be so passive anymore, so even if this opportunity is desperate, he will take it into his pocket.
However, the credit card has been frozen, and there is very little savings, where should he live?
Zhou Nan held his mobile phone and thought deeply for a moment.
Then go and make amends, and ask Ji Bandit to take him in by the way.
There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, which was the only thing that made him happy these days.
