Chapter 58 Old Man
Chapter 58 Old Man
“Oh, of course I won’t refuse.
But I'm thinking that if a leader like you, Director Lu, can help to communicate with them, they might pay more attention to it."
In the office of the movie channel, Wang Hao looked at his uncle and did not give up because of his words.
He knew that since his uncle mentioned the Hualong Digital Special Effects Production Company, he must have his own intentions and it was not just a casual mention.
Sure enough, facing Wang Hao's shameless entanglement, after some tug of war, Lu Guotao finally revealed some useful information.
“This thing is of no use to you.
Although I am the leader of the film channel, I am only the leader of a TV station. Even if there are some connections between the station and the film industry, these connections are not very deep. They are just some family ties.
On the contrary, your old man’s connections might be more useful.”
The old man's relationship?!
Wang Hao was stunned when he heard this, and then he realized that the person his uncle was talking about should be his grandfather in this life - Wang Shengxing.
As a time traveler, after being reborn into this world, Wang Hao almost subconsciously ignored his family and relatives in this world, not knowing how to face them.
If it weren't for the filming of the movie, he might not even have contacted his uncle Lu Guotao.
So when he first heard the name of his grandfather, Wang Hao was even stunned for a moment.
Fortunately, he is an adult after all, and after more than a month of adaptation, his mentality has changed a lot compared to when he was just reborn, so he calmed down quickly.
Indeed, as my uncle Lu Guotao said, if Hualong Digital is really a subsidiary of Huaying Group, then his grandfather might have some connections that can be used.
So after saying goodbye to his uncle, seeing that it was still early, Wang Hao did not return to school, but took the bus and came to Songzhuyuan North Lane.
This place is located west of Beiheyan Street and east of Jingshan Park. Get off at Nanluoguxiang Station and walk south along Beiheyan Street for a few hundred meters, and you will see an old alley.
In terms of geographical location, the North Lane of Songzhuyuan is located underground at the foot of the imperial city. Not far away is the famous Forbidden City. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, it has always been the territory of the inner treasury. Most of the people who can live here are dignitaries.
Because there is a famous temple in Shangjing - Songzhu Temple next to it, it is named Songzhuyuan North Lane.
But that was already a thing of the past. Today, in the North Lane of Songzhuyuan, the old courtyard house under renovation, the privately built two-story building, the vendors hawking their wares along the street, and the neighbors chatting with each other, together form a picture of an old Beijing where time has stagnated.
Wang Hao walked into the old alley and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar scenery around him. The slight nervousness he had originally felt was gone at this moment.
When he walked into an old courtyard with familiarity and saw the hunched figure in the yard, a shout came out naturally.
…………
In the fairly spacious courtyard, a large square table was placed under a grape trellis, and the sky above was already filled with stars.
On the table, in several large bowls, the noodles that had just been rinsed with water were about the thickness of chopsticks and as white as snow.
Next to the table, on an old-fashioned coal stove, a small pot was bubbling with steam.
Looking inside, you can see the shiny black sauce bubbling, with the stir-fried diced pork belly, chopped green onion and chopped garlic rolling around in it, greasy and looking particularly tempting.
"Hey, Xiaohao, the sauce is ready!"
The kind-looking old lady was about to pick it up and was standing aside smelling the fragrance. Wang Hao, who was already starving, rushed forward and took the small pot, which still had some weight, from her hand.
"It's okay, grandma. Please sit down first. I'll make it for you, so you don't get burned." Wang Hao picked up the small pot and scooped up a spoonful of hot and fragrant fried sauce. He first poured a spoonful into his grandfather's bowl, then into the large bowl in front of his grandmother, and finally it was his turn.
In his bowl, in addition to the boiled noodles, there were also blanched bean sprouts, shredded cabbage, diced celery, pea rice, shredded egg pancake and other ingredients.
Now add this spoonful of fried sauce, mix it with chopsticks, and finally pile on the green and refreshing cucumber shreds and the snow-white shredded radish. It looks pleasing to the eye.
If you take a bite of noodles and then add a bite of fresh garlic, wow, the taste is so authentic!
Wang Hao mixed the noodles in front of him and started to eat them with slurps.
Although he was not from Beijing in his previous life, this noodle now suits his taste very well.
By the time the bowl was empty again, his stomach was already full.
After eating the dinner made by his grandmother, Wang Hao cleaned up the table and placed two bamboo lounge chairs in the yard. Then he told his grandfather Wang Shengxing the purpose of his visit.
"Hualong Digital? I've never heard of it, but if it's really a company under the Huaying Group... well... then I can give it a call and ask."
The old man was lying in a rocking chair, fanning himself with a fan. After listening to Wang Hao's words, he pondered for a moment before speaking.
"But even if I made this call, the most I can do is to help you and Hualong Digital work together.
After all, it is a formal company. Although your uncle Han is also working at Huaying, he may not be able to manage the subordinates."
"I know that, Grandpa."
Seeing that the old man was willing to help, Wang Hao quickly responded.
He was actually a little worried before coming. After all, in the memory of his previous life, this old man was famous for his principles.
Even when he was the deputy director of the Shangjing Film Studio, he never used his position to seek personal gain.
The character and awareness of the older generation are fully displayed in him.
So Wang Hao was also surprised that the old man was willing to help him make this call.
"Very surprised?"
The old man seemed to have noticed the expression on his grandson's face, and asked leisurely while waving a fan.
Wang Hao nodded subconsciously, then quickly shook his head, "No, no, I know that you love me, Grandpa."
The old man laughed and said:
"At the beginning, your father wanted to stay in the factory and begged me so much. Others also advised me, but I refused to agree. Do you know why?"
"Because you are a principled person?" Wang Hao asked curiously.
Wang Shengxing shook his head and smiled.
"That's because he doesn't have the ability and is not cut out for this line of work.
So Xiaohao, I watched your movie, it's well made, keep up the good work in the future!"
