Chapter 315 I'm Not Coming Back Tonight

That night, Lin Jiang returned to Century Triumph.

Shen Qingqiu wanted to keep Lin Jiang, but there weren't enough rooms at home.

The idea she proposed was to let Lin Jiang sleep in his own room while she would sleep on the sofa.

But before Lin Jiang could say anything, Li Xiaoping directly rejected him.

Lin Jiang originally thought that Comrade Lao Li had realized the essence of the problem and was ready to assist, but she simply didn't want Shen Qingqiu to sleep on the sofa.

It has nothing to do with the so-called assists.

With no other choice, Lin Jiang had to go home.

It's quiet being alone at home.

Several women also sent their dinners for today, and each one was very sumptuous.

The next morning, Lin Jiang received a message from Shen Qingqiu, saying that he had gone shopping with Comrade Lao Li.

Lin Jiang was also happy to have some free time.

Just wait until they finish shopping, pick them up and then take them out for dinner.

During the day, Lin Jiang was asked out by Jiang Xiaoqi. They went shopping and then went to the hotel to start a new round of research and teaching.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Li Xiaoping called Lin Jiang.

Lin Jiang first sent Jiang Xiaoqi back, and then went to Berkeley to pick up the two.

When they arrived at the mall entrance, they both had several bags in their hands.

It goes without saying that it was definitely bought by Shen Qingqiu for Comrade Lao Li.

We also had lunch in the hot pot restaurant.

After a night of getting along, the relationship between the two became more harmonious.

Shen Qingqiu held Li Xiaoping's arm throughout the whole process, and the two of them walked together. If you didn't know, you would think they were mother and daughter.

After dinner, Lin Jiang sent the two back home, but before getting off the car, Li Xiaoping said:

"You two can go out for a walk. You don't have to accompany me."

"Then I'll leave." Lin Jiang said.

"Go ahead." Li Xiaoping said with a smile in her eyes.

Afterwards, Shen Qingqiu gave the house key to Li Xiaoping and followed Lin Jiang away, but he was still a little nervous.

"Auntie has come here with great difficulty, is it okay to leave her alone?"

"There's nothing wrong with it. She usually lives alone." Lin Jiang said:

"Besides, we have been together for more than 24 hours since yesterday. Her maternal love is almost exhausted. If we get too close, she will be scolded easily."

puff-

Shen Qingqiu couldn't help laughing, and recalled the scene of the mother and son getting along yesterday.

"The main reason is that you are too poor. Auntie will definitely scold you."

"Why don't you say she has a bad temper?"

"I wouldn't dare."

"Then you dare to say that to me, I'm angry."

"What happens when you get angry?"

"I will refuse to take the ride if I get angry."

Refuse to carry?

Shen Qingqiu noticed the two people's current state and laughed so hard that he fell backwards.

"You haven't watched our movie yet, right? I'll take you to see it?"

"Okay!" Shen Qingqiu said:
"I was planning to go see it during the holidays. Let's go back to Berkeley."

"Berkeley is too far. Just find a nearby shopping mall. It will save you a lot of time."

Lin Jiang drove to the nearby Wanda. Shen Qingqiu bought two tickets and Lin Jiang bought Coke and popcorn.

After waiting for a few minutes, I checked my ticket and entered the screening room.

At the same time, the door of Screening Room No. 4 opened and the audience inside came out one after another.

"What the hell is this? It's a waste of 96 bucks." A boy with short hair complained.

"It's actually not bad." said the girl next to the boy, but she was not so confident.

"Come on, what era is this? We're still playing around with quarrels and abortions. Which good person's youth is like this? Even our dog doesn't like to watch it."

The girl felt a little guilty and didn't dare to refute. What the other person said did make sense.

"It's better to go watch The Troubles of Charlotte. I heard it's very interesting."

"We have a day off tomorrow, so let's go see The Troubles of Charlotte."

"also."

Although no names were mentioned, it is not difficult to guess that they were talking about "Goodbye Youth" invested and filmed by Zhou Jin.

Lin Jiang carefully observed the expressions of other audience members. They were all very calm. It seemed that the film did not cause much fluctuation in their emotions.

I walked into the screening room and found my seat.

"My colleague watched The Troubles of Charlotte and recommended it to me yesterday, saying it was a good watch. He even wanted to give me spoilers, but I stopped him."

"I can't take you to watch bad movies. Please give me some comments after watching them. They should be true. We can't play tricks with personal relationships."

"Wenqi and Shengyao came to see it yesterday and gave it a very high rating. Even if I don't give it a rating, it's still a very good movie."

Shen Qingqiu took out his phone and took a photo of the movie ticket.

"I'll post it on WeChat Moments later and help promote it for you."

"safe."

Soon, the movie started, and Shen Qingqiu got into the mood, devoting himself to the movie wholeheartedly, not moving at all, and very serious.

But in the process, Lin Jiang discovered a little habit of Shen Qingqiu. She seemed to like eating sweets very much.

The popcorn I bought for her was almost gone, but I didn't eat much of it.

Lin Jiang had already watched the movie twice, and he also participated in the post-production editing, so he was already familiar with the plot, so Lin Jiang's attention was all on the audience.

The effect was pretty much what I expected, the laughter never stopped.

Good movies are timeless.

About two hours later, the movie ended, and the audience's reaction was stronger than expected, and the feedback was even better. Shen Qingqiu posted a circle of friends, typing a lot of words, promoting the movie very attentively.

Given her personality, it is very rare for her to be able to do this.

After watching the movie, they went home.

After entering the house, Shen Qingqiu was stunned for a long time.

She saw the coffee table was filled with wrapped dumplings, neatly arranged together.

"Mom, why are you making so many dumplings?"

"I'm leaving tomorrow. Make some dumplings for Xiaoqiu and put them in the refrigerator. I can eat them when I'm free. I don't have to order takeout, which is not healthy."

Shen Qingqiu was touched, "Auntie, this is too troublesome. The supermarket sells frozen food. I can just buy some to eat."

"The ones sold outside are not as good as the ones made at home. They are clean and delicious."

As she spoke, Li Xiaoping directed Lin Jiang, "Go put these dumplings in the refrigerator."

"Let me do it, he doesn't know how to do it." Shen Qingqiu said.

"Don't do everything yourself, let him do something too."

"It's okay, I'm not tired."

It seems to be a very ordinary sentence, but it hides other meanings.

It seemed as if the two of them had reached the stage of discussing marriage.

Finally, Lin Jiang helped Shen Qingqiu put all the dumplings in the refrigerator.

Considering Shen Qingqiu's appetite and the frequency of eating at home, this many dumplings would be enough for her to eat for a while, because usually she could eat in the cafeteria.

That night, Lin Jiang was still sent back home.

After arriving home, Lin Jiang opened the box office list.

It has been almost 48 hours since the release of "The Troubles of Charlotte" and the box office has reached 6900 million.

Lin Jiang was pleased that a low-budget movie with no big-name stars and half of the cast being amateurs had achieved this box office in less than two days after its release.

When the original version was released, there was no such data. It only got better in the middle and late stages.

The most important thing is that film production is still improving, and the box office growth will be even more gratifying in the future.

The recording of "Just Once" has to be put on the schedule as soon as possible.

Wait until the box office starts to show signs of weakness, then give it a shot in the arm.

Out of curiosity, Lin Jiang went to check the box office and screening schedule of "Goodbye Youth".

It's been almost 48 hours, and the box office has just exceeded 2000 million, and today's box office is only over 500 million. At this rate, it will definitely be impossible to recover the cost.

Ring ring ring——

At this time, Lin Jiang's cell phone rang. It was Chen Jingxian calling.

"What are you doing? How was your New Year's Day holiday?"

"I'm fine. I'm lying at home." Lin Jiang said:

"You're calling me at this time, are you missing me?"

"Smug, I don't miss you."

"You'd better think carefully before you say something. Be careful or I'll go to your house and make you say it again."

"You are in Hangzhou, how can you possibly make it here?"

"There are a lot of things waiting for me to do in Zhonghai, so I'm coming back today."

"really?"

Chen Jingxian said happily: "Are you busy now? Do you want to come over?"

"I didn't see your sincerity, so I won't go."

"Tsk, forget it if you don't want to come. I won't tell you what I want to say."

"Comrade Chen Jingxian, you are a little proud after you got one year older. You can avoid the first day, but can you avoid the fifteenth?"

"Tsk, just bully me."

Chen Jingxian said in a very feminine and coquettish tone.

"If you have time, come over now. I'm going home too, so we can arrive at about the same time."

Chen Jingxian said with a joy that was difficult to conceal:
"Have you eaten dinner yet? I'll buy you something."

"We've finished our meal, just come over."

"Well, I'll go over now."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Jiang took his coat and went out.

On the other side, Chen Jingxian's movements were almost synchronized with Lin Jiang's.

In the living room, the old couple and Chen Jingjia were watching TV.

Seeing Chen Jingxian come out after putting on her clothes, the three of them looked at her.

"It's already past eight o'clock, are you going out?" Wang Minxia asked.

Chen Jingxian nodded, "I made an appointment with Lin Jiang to go out..."

When she reached the door, Chen Jingxian put on her shoes, paused and said:

"I won't be back tonight, so don't wait for me."

After hearing Chen Jingxian say this, Wang Minxia immediately understood what she meant.

Chen Jianguo on the sofa and Chen Jingjia at the coffee table also pricked up their ears.

You are already an adult, and everyone knows what you are doing if you don’t come home at night.

Wang Minxia also knew very well who her eldest daughter stayed out with.

It couldn't be anyone else except Lin Jiang.

Wang Minxia smiled and said, "Okay, go and do your business."

Chen Jingxian nodded, put on her shoes and left.

Chen Jingjia sat on the chair, looking gloomy but helpless.

All this is the result of my own actions.
