Chapter 85
The hotel would not provide new clothes, so Gu Huai had to wash his clothes soaked in the sea water, dry them with the air duct provided in the room, and continue to wear them.
The next day, he took a bus from the bus station near Haibin Park back to the city. There was no accident on the way.
Gu Huai successfully returned to his home. It was in a small area, which was the urban village of C city, and the development was relatively backward, which could be seen from the architecture.
The houses were all old-fashioned. Gu Huai went up the stairs to the floor where he lived, stood at the door, and touched the key in his pants pocket that wasn't washed away by the sea.
As soon as the door of the house was opened, Gu Huai could basically see the whole room at a glance.
It was quite narrow, but such a space was enough for one person to live in. When there was no choice in the environment, Gu Huai always went with the circumstances.
The accommodation conditions were not so bad. It was better to get used to it. He would move out when he could. The first thing Gu Huai did when he got home was not to open the script spread out on the single bed, but to open the drawer first and count how much money he had left to use.
It was hard to be a hero without a penny. Gu Huai not only owed 300 yuan borrowed from a strange good man, but also had not paid his rent this month.
Gu Huai thought about it, and it didn't take long for a fierce clap on the door to ring.
"Pa pa pa-", The door of the house was even shaken, which was the result of them knocking with their whole hand.
He could almost guess who would think of knocking at the door. Gu Huai scratched his cheek with his fingertips, and naturally opened the door.
The person who slapped the door vigorously was the landlady of the house, who was over 40 years old. She was a middle aged woman who played mahjong with friends or went square dancing when she had nothing to do.
And the little girl next to the landlady was her youngest daughter. When she saw Gu Huai opening the door, she ran into the door first.
"Brother Gu Huai, you promised to sign for me last time. I brought my story book here. Would you sign it on this page", The little girl with shoulder length hair turned the book to the front page, and then held up the story book to the youth.
At this time, before Gu Huai could respond, the landlady said coolly, "people that are not big stars, do they still need autographs."
As the landlady, Qian Lan knew a lot about the renters in her house. The youth in front of her was really a performer, but it was estimated that she had not seen his face on TV.
The little girl was not very happy and stamped her feet. She retorted loudly, "Brother Gu Huai looks better than the big stars. He will be better than them in the future."
And she felt that the youth seemed to be better looking, which was a little different from what she had seen the other day. The little girl looked up at Gu Huai and blinked at the thought. If defined by the type of fans, this girl was really a face fan.
She was one of the few fans of Gu Huai at present. The landlord's wife allowed her daughter to get the autograph first. When the little girl came back happily with the story book, she asked in a dry, stiff voice, "Your rent has been delayed for nearly a week this month. When are you going to pay it? "
After being pursued because of debt by the landlady, Gu Huai expressed his apology with a gentle expression, and then handed over his last cash deposit which had just been brought out of the drawer.
"Because i have not been able to find a part-time job for some time, i was worried that the living expenses would not be enough after paying the rent, so i was in debt for so long. I'll give you the rent on time in the future. I'm very sorry."
The young man suddenly became so polite, and he took the initiative to explain his mistake. The landlady couldn't adapt for a while.
Several months ago, he was silent about the debt. She even came to the house to urge him every time. In addition, the youth in front of her was always stubborn.
Qian Lan really didn't like him, but now she was very surprised."I'm not the kind of person who doesn't show affection at all. If you are really in a difficult situation sometimes, come to our house to explain the situation, I'll give you some time."
The landlord's wife softened her face a little, which had been blank from the moment before, and it no longer showed a menacing look. If the youth in front of her was so polite in the morning and knew how to explain it to others, she would give him face even though he was owing the rent.
"Well, thank you." Gu Huai nodded and smiled lightly.
He was born beautiful. Since the awakening of his blood, his eyebrows and eyes had an added strange aesthetic feelings that could not be explained clearly.
Now his eyes were slightly curved and expressed a unique beauty incisively and vividly, making people involuntarily stare at him.
After that, the landlady took her little daughter away and looked down at the story book held by her daughter as a treasure.
Although she didn't care about the entertainment circle, it seemed that none of the actors and stars she saw on TV looked better than her tenant. She didn't know which day he would be a big star, however, the landlady still thought that the possibility is very low.
She had seen the youth acting for several years, but he had not got any fame until now. On the contrary, he was very poor. It was better for him to find a decent job.
Gu Huai had a headache when he gave the money. From his original memory, he knew that he didn't have much money left. However, Gu Huai didn't expect that the amount of money left would be as small as this, and there wasn't much left after paying the rent.
The audition was tomorrow. If he succeeded in getting the role and signing the contract, he would be paid. But last night, he promised to pay Ao Qi back today. It was awkward to mention, but Gu Huai couldn't repay the other party's 300 yuan.
"Sorry, last night I promised to pay you back today, but something happened temporarily. I may have to pay back later."
It was a stranger. There was nothing like trust or distrust. Gu Huai sent this message to the other, bowed his head and helplessly looked ready to be treated as a cheat by the man.
At this time, there were more than 20 people sitting in a spacious conference room in a luxurious and restrained high-rise residence. The atmosphere was very serious.
Obviously, this was a very important meeting. It was a common practice for non-human associations to hold meetings in which the content of the meeting was important, non important, but formal.
"Beep-" SMS ring tone.
The serious atmosphere of the meeting was broken by the sudden beep. Under the eyes of all the people, Ao Qi smiled and waved at them, "Leave me alone. The boss is in charge of our family anyway. You can discuss with him."
In addition to the leaders of all non-human races, there were also the powerful subordinates of these leaders. Ao Qi referred to the man sitting in the right front position.
The man sitting in that seat looked very beautiful, with his eyelids habitually drooped. His cold eyes not only radiated coldness, but also gave out a heavy sense of oppression and natural deterrent force.
"Eh It's little fish."
The boss held a meeting in front of him, but the subordinate left behind murmured.
Ao Qi didn't have any conscience or uneasiness about his actions, so he immediately got his phone and replied to the message.
His boss didn't care about his being late. He had an errand or something, and the other certainly didn't care.
As long as his boss didn't care, Ao Qi could be considered lawless to some extent.
"It doesn't matter. It's only three hundred yuan. You can pay me back. If you are short of money recently, would you like me to lend you some more money? "
The eight clans of the races could still have such distant relations. The most important thing was that Ao Qi thought that the young man he met was quite suitable, so he was willing to help.
Of course, Ao Qi's question was rejected by the youth, when he refused, he once again expressed his gratitude to him.
In case of such a kind-hearted person who should even be described as silly, Gu Huai couldn't think of any reason why he was so kind to a stranger.
He could only add more super good person cards. After the short communication, Ao Qi put away his mobile phone, but he still didn't care much about the speech made by the representatives of various clans at the meeting.
In his opinion, the content of this meeting was nothing more than catching the non-human beings who violated the rules of the association in the human world, which was not a big deal.
As soon as the meeting was over, Ao Qi followed his boss."Boss, boss, I'll tell you, I was late for a reason. Don't get angry with me for being late, but why don't you ask, I..."
"Not interested." The man walking in front still had lightly drooped eyelids, cold, long and narrow Phoenix eyes, his voice, which obviously gave people a kind of cold pressure, matched with his cold and beautiful face.
"I met a little fish halfway..." After insisting on saying this, Ao Qi also stressed that "It's a very beautiful fish. It's only been a short time since he awakened. What's more magical is that he seemed to be awaken by his willpower."
"Not interested." There was no mood fluctuation in his voice. Yan Lin repeated those two words coldly in response.
OK. Ao Qi shut up and gave up the idea of arousing the curiosity of his boss. He also wanted to say that he couldn't see through the specific blood of that beautiful fish, even he couldn't see it, which made Ao Qi feel really strange.
He didn't know what could interest his boss in this world. Over the years, Ao Qi still felt that he couldn't understand him. When the head of his family was alone in the courtyard, he looked at him from afar. Sometimes he felt like he was trying to remember something important.
At the end of the meeting, on Gu Huai's side, he was lying on the head of the bed reading the script. From the perspective of a professional screenwriter, Gu Huai saw that his script couldn't even score 60 points by his standard, but as an idol drama script, it was actually qualified.
The script was a modern background. The role he was going to audition for Male lead No. 3.
The character setting was a Gang boss. Gu Huai scratched his cheek with his index finger. He was not worried about tomorrow's audition.
