In fact, this kind of occasion is not suitable for bringing children.

This is the truth.

On a more serious note, today is an invitation dinner sent by the next president of the Directors Guild. Anyone who comes... There is no need to put up red paper and burn incense to pay homage to the adoptive father, but at least you have to show a respectful attitude.

To put it mildly...a bunch of smokers and drunkards. What's the point of bringing a child here?

But Chen Kaige had a child, and no one could say anything.

But Xu Xin thought more.

Seeing this "disharmonious" scene, he subconsciously pondered Chen Kaige's intention of bringing his son here.

Are you really just bringing me here for a meal?

Or... if you want your son to join the industry, you need to build a network of contacts in advance?

There's nothing to say about the former. But if it's the latter... there's no need, right?

Although he really looked down on the little master of poetry reading, it must be said that his status in the circle was very high.

Whether it's the Beijing Circle or the Northwest Circle, they will all give him face.

And it's not like the other party can't film movies now... I really want to raise a son. In a few years, wouldn't it be possible just by saying something casually?

He couldn't figure it out for a while.

But I heard Zhang Guoli ask this child:

"How's it going? When will you leave this time?"

"I'll go back on the 15th."

Hearing the word "hui", Xu Xin glanced at the child.

I started to murmur in my heart.

Where to go back?

Is it possible that he is not from China?

At this time, someone smiled and asked:

"Raindance, Taber Academy is known as a school by the sea in the United States. It is said that the scenery is particularly good?"

"Well, uncle, it's okay. Once you get used to it, it'll be just that..."

As they chatted around the child, Xu Xin gradually understood.

This child must have stayed in the United States since he was born. Although he returns to China every year, he receives Western education most of the time...

After understanding this, Xu Xin didn't care anymore.

Although he is not an angry young man, he is a very determined successor.

The knowledge that nowhere is as good as home is engraved in my bones.

No matter how developed a foreign country is... it's not home after all.

Feng Xiaogang next to him had been fiddling with his mobile phone while everyone was chatting about children's education. Xu Xin, with the intention of seeing no evil, did not sit back on the chair, but leaned on the table with both hands and looked at the chatters.

, act as a listener.

Until one cigarette is finished.

The waiter opened the door and started serving food.

The wine dividers also came in front of everyone.

This meal has begun.

…

"Xiao Xu, come on, let's go one by one."

"Hey, okay, Director Feng."

Xu Xin lowered the cup and touched one with him.

This table is large, there are many people, and it has just begun. In fact, the two of them have no direct communication.

Huang Jianxin is the talker today, and everyone's conversation actually revolves around him.

After having a drink with Feng Xiaogang, he continued to eat and listen to their chat.

As for the people at this table...the topics they talked about were all kinds of different.

But... one characteristic is that people basically don’t talk about movies or box office matters.

Everyone avoided the topic and talked about romance.

Of course, this is a more elegant term.

In fact, all they talked about was nonsense.

For example, right now everyone is talking about Aryans.

Xu Xin felt a lot of pain when she heard this.

But...it seems that this is exactly what Huang Jianxin said at the beginning.

"It's the end of the year, let's get together."

Don’t talk about work, talk about other things.

Of course, we don’t talk about state affairs either.

Ever since Lao Bi's incident happened, everyone in the circle has become insecure. We can talk about anything at the dinner table, but we will never talk about any related topics.

Not even mentioned.

The wine party, in this atmosphere, naturally entered the middle stage.

The so-called mid-term actually means drinking two bottles of wine and starting the third one.

There is a two-liang wine divider, and the drinking speed is not fast.

For this kind of slow wine, Xu Xin can only feel it if the amount is about half a catty.

However, he noticed one detail, that is, Feng Xiaogang was particularly good at drinking tea after drinking alcohol.

I basically don’t eat much food.

Have a sip of wine, three or four sips of water, and then light a cigarette.

Smoking while waiting for the next glass of wine.

Of course, he also chatted.

But he never leaves his hand when chatting.

Xu Xin, a smoker, had a headache sitting next to him.

I’m afraid that Director Feng usually doesn’t take two packs a day?

But now he saw the other person taking a sip of tea. After the cup had reached the bottom, the teapot happened to be turned to Xu Xin, so he picked it up and gave the other person a glass of water.

Then he stood up and planned to give everyone some water.

Junior.

There must be etiquette.

In fact, this kind of work originally belonged to the waiter, but now the waiter was dividing green onions and cooking sea cucumbers and couldn't take care of it for a while.

At this time, Chen Kaige suddenly said:

"Xiao Xu, please sit down. Feiyu, pour tea for all the elders."

Hearing this, Chen Feiyu, who was still working hard to cook, quickly put down his chopsticks and stood up.

Xu Xin smiled and waved his hands:

"No, no, you can eat. When you are growing, eat more and I will do it."

With that said, he walked towards Huang Jianxin.

Seeing this, Huang Jianxin said politely:

"Xiao Xu, there's no need to be so polite, we're all on our own..."

Xu Xin responded with a smile:

"I just added some because I am one of my own. It's okay, Director Huang, I'll give you some..."

While he was pouring tea for Huang Jianxin, he noticed Chen Feiyu following behind him out of the corner of his eye.

The table was empty, and the teapot was empty.

Only then did Chen Feiyu say:

"Brother Xu, please sit down, I'll do it."

"also."
