When Chen Fan got off the plane, he was blown by the cold wind and his face became a little tight. The wind from the north was really dry and cold. He took out a mask from the bag and put it on, and felt much better.

At this time, it was already evening. He went to pick up his luggage first, then turned on his phone, sent a message to Zhou Manxin, told her that he had arrived, and asked the hotel address again.

"You wait at the airport, and someone will pick you up."

"No, I'll just take the bus by myself." Chen Fan didn't want to bother others. Besides, he was just a screenwriter and was not an important member in the crew.

"It's okay, at this time, the person should have arrived."

Chen Fan pushed two suitcases and walked towards the airport exit. When he arrived at the pick-up entrance, there were many people waiting. He glanced at him and thought which one would be sent by Zhou Manxin.

I saw a woman wearing a mask and a thick down jacket coming over and asking, "Is it Teacher Chen?"

"I am Chen Fan." Chen Fan took off his mask.

The woman confirmed his identity and said, "Teacher Chen, I'm here to pick you up."

"Don't call me Teacher Chen."

Chen Fan thought this title was weird, "Call me Chen Fan or screenwriter Chen."

"Okay, Screenwriter Chen, please come with me." The woman said, wanting to help him get his luggage.

"No, I'll do it myself." Chen Fan pushed her luggage and followed her. He thought that this woman must have seen her before, and she looked familiar, but she didn't remember who she was.

It has been a long time since Zhou Manxin talked about scripts in her company, just like a few years ago. Many people can't remember it very clearly.

What he could remember was director Guo Yuzhi and Huang Jialu who adapted the script with him.

After leaving the airport, the woman took him to a white MPV, which looked familiar.

Chen Fan didn't even think about it, so he put two suitcases behind the car. Then the woman opened the car door and he was stunned when he saw the person sitting in the car.

The person sitting in the car was Zhong Xixi.

Only then did he remember that when she was in Pengcheng, she was riding in such a car. Isn’t the woman who went to pick him up? Isn’t it the little assistant next to Zhong Xixi?

"Long time no see." Zhong Xixi greeted him with a smile.

"Miss Zhong, why are you here to pick me up?" Chen Fan never expected that she would pick me up.

Zhong Xixi said, "Let's talk about it when getting in the car, it's cold outside."

Seeing that the little assistant had already been in the passenger seat, Chen Fan had to get in the car, sit in the seat next to Zhong Xixi, and then close the door.

The heating in the car is much warmer than outside.

The car started driving very quickly.

Zhong Xixi handed over a bottle of mineral water and said, "I'm tired after riding the plane for so long?"

"I'm not tired." Chen Fan subconsciously took it, held it in his hand and didn't open it, asking, "It's so troublesome, I'll have to pick me up."

"It's nothing. It's just the way to go, and I'll talk about something nearby. I heard from Sister Xin that you'll be here tonight, so I'll come and pick you up." Zhong Xixi said, "The airport is quite far from the crew, and some cars are reluctant to rent a car to go that far."

"Thank you so much." Chen Fan felt that her attitude this time was a bit strange and over-zealous.

I still remember when I first met her in the conference room, I felt a little unhappy. Although I had agreed to cooperate later, the relationship was not very good.

Then I thought about it, maybe it was because she was in a good mood?

Chen Fan took out his cell phone and sent a message to Zhou Manxin first, telling her that she had already gotten into Zhong Xixi's car.

Then, he sent a message to his family, telling them that they had already got off the plane. Then Yu Qing came to attend the opening ceremony, and of course he had to tell her.

He had already thought about it and after the opening ceremony, he would go to Beijing to see her. This is the Northeast and it takes a very fast high-speed rail.

In front of Zhong Xixi, he didn't want to send voices, and he was all sent by words.

He received everyone's reply, Zhou Manxin's and parents' words. They are all simple words, only Yu Qing's words, and the one sent a voice.

Chen Fan turned the volume down and put the phone to his ear when listening.

"Why post text? Don't you think typing is slow? Are there any beauties next to you?" Yu Qing's voice was a little lazy, with a little magnetic. However, this intuition is too keen, and she can get it right after guessing.

He replied, "It happens to be sitting in the same car with a star. It's not easy to disturb others."

"Is it that Zhong Xixi?" It was still a voice.

"How do you know?" Chen Fan felt strange. He only told her that his novel was adapted from the movie, but never said who starred in it.

"I'll know after checking online. Why, I feel guilty? Do you fall in love with someone?"

"Stop kidding, how is that possible."

...

Zhong Xixi, who was standing beside him, faced the car window, held her chin with her hands, looked at Chen Fan who was chatting on WeChat through the reflection of the car window glass, and the gentle expression on her face sank slightly in her heart.

Although Chen Fan turned the volume of his phone very low, she could still hear that there was a woman's voice opposite him.

Does he have a girlfriend?

…………

The car drove for more than two hours, arrived in the suburbs, and finally stopped in front of a hotel.

After entering the hotel, Chen Fan met Zhou Manxin and got his room card, which was on the same floor as them. After leaving the door, he told them and went back to his room.

Zhou Manxin was really good to him, so she let him stay alone. Although it was a suburb, the conditions in this hotel were also good. There was heating in the north, and the temperature was around 20 degrees, so it was fine to wear short sleeves.

In addition to the dryer air, in the winter in the north, it is indeed much more comfortable than in the south if you don’t go out.

Chen Fan went to the bathroom to take a shower, changed his clothes, dried his hair and went out.

He had lunch before he got on the plane, but he had never eaten anything. It was almost eleven o'clock now and his stomach was hungry. There were food in the hotel, but with his experience, it was expensive and not delicious. I would go out to find a midnight snack shop.

As soon as he arrived at the hotel door, his cell phone rang. It was Zhou Manxin who called.

"Hey, Mr. Zhou."

"Aren't you in the room?"

"Yes, I'm outside. I want to go out and eat something. Do you have something to ask me for?"

"Where are you now, I'll discuss something with you."

“Also in the hotel lobby.”

"Don't leave, I'll go down to find you now."

After a while, he saw Zhou Manxin coming out of the elevator and said, "What do you want to eat? I'll treat you."

Chen Fan said, "I'm the first time I'm going to the Northeast, and I don't know what's delicious."

"I know there is a hot pot restaurant that is good, so go there to eat."

"OK."

Zhou Manxin took him to a hot pot restaurant two streets away.

After ordering the dishes, Zhou Manxin talked about the serious matter, "The crew had a little trouble."

Chen Fan heard her subtext and wanted to ask her for help, but she didn't understand it very well and asked, "What can I help?"

"That's right. The actor who originally played Lao Tang had some surprise and could not play it anymore. Now I can't find a suitable actor for the moment. Director Guo suggested that you can give it a try."

"ah?"

Chen Fan really didn't expect that she would make such a proposal to play Lao Tang?

Lao Tang is a good friend of the protagonist in the novel, and he has a very close relationship. He is in the same department as the protagonist, and has helped the protagonist a lot. He doesn’t have many scenes, and he appears a few scenes at the beginning, and then it appears once at the end.

"But, I've never acted."

"It's just a small supporting role, and the scene is very simple. With Guidance Guo teaches you, it's definitely okay." Zhou Manxin said, "The main reason is that your image is more suitable. You can finish all the scenes in one week at most. And there is a pay."

Chen Fan was a little moved. He didn't care much about whether the film was paid or not. He thought the salary would not be very high.

The key is that being able to appear in the movie adapted by his novels or playing a supporting role, which is quite memorable.

He said, "Since Mr. Zhou said that, I'll give it a try."

Zhou Manxin picked up the wine glass and smiled, "That would be great, otherwise, I wouldn't know where to find someone. Thank you."
