Chapter 150 – The Strange Grandpa
Xixi said that there was a strange grandpa. The word “strange” was used correctly. She was playing in the shop just now. Through the floor-to-ceiling glass, she saw an old man wandering outside and looking around.
After listening to his daughter’s words, Yang Yi looked back and saw an old man in a loose navy blue cotton and linen Tang suit and a light gray fisherman’s hat, already standing at the door.
Where is this old man from?
Is he a customer of the coffee shop?
Considering Mo Fei’s special identity, Yang Yi stood up and went to the door to meet the old man who opened the door.
“I’m sorry, old sir, but our shop is not open today.” Yang Yi said apologetically.
He was also secretly surprised in his heart. This old man was not a layman! His eyes of vicissitudes were a little cloudy, after all, he was old, but they still show majesty. There was a sense of being in the upper position for a long time.
“Didn’t open in broad daylight?” The old man frowned, looked at Yang Yi’s figure and build carefully, and asked, “Aren’t you the owner of this store?”
“Yes, as you can see, the sign has not been hung up. Recently, the school is on holiday, and there are few customers, so I don’t plan to open the shop.” Yang Yi smiled and said in a respectful tone.
If it wasn’t for the fear of Mo Fei’s identity being exposed, Yang Yi would actually have no problem inviting the old man to come in and sit down.
However, Mo Fei walked over by herself. She looked closely at the old man’s face, and got close enough to recognize him. She asked with some surprise, “Director Chen? Why are you here?”
This “Director Chen” exposed Chen Fengchen’s identity, and he was also a little surprised. He turned to look at Mo Fei. At first, he didn’t recognize Mo Fei, who wasn’t wearing makeup and was in house dress. But after all, the two had worked together before – Mo Fei sang a theme song for Chen Fengchen’s TV series. Moreover, a few years ago, Mo Fei’s fame wasn’t small. Chen Fengchen also recognized Mo Fei.
“Mo Fei? Little Mo?” Chen Fengchen was no less surprised than Mo Fei.
“It’s me!” Mo Fei said with a smile. “I met you the last time I recorded a show on TV, and greeted you!”
It turned out to be someone she knew, and from his title, he should be an acquaintance in the entertainment circle, so there should be no problem of her identity being exposed. Yang Yi breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly let him in. He couldn’t let others keep standing at the door!
“Director Chen, please come in and sit down.” Mo Fei greeted him, just like a hostess. She pushed Yang Yi and whispered, “Go and pour tea for Director Chen. He’s not used to coffee.”
There were some tea in the shop. Although Yang Yi didn’t plan to sell tea in the coffee shop, he often drinks tea himself.
Watching Yang Yi turned and went to the bar, Chen Fengchen looked at Mo Fei with a weird face, and the little girl who was holding her mother’s clothes behind her and poking her head to look around.
Chen Fengchen temporarily put down his purpose for coming, and inevitably asked with some gossip: “Little Mo, who are you? In here…”
Mo Fei was a little embarrassed, but after all, it was Chen Fengchen who asked her. If she was a filmmaker, it would not be too much to call him a teacher. So, she admitted boldly: “Yes, this is my daughter, and then… He is my husband. By the way, my husband is a fan of yours. He was watching your TV series the other day. However, our affairs have not been made public yet, so I asked Director Chen to help keep it a secret.”
After speaking, Mo Fei glanced at Yang Yi at the bar and gritted her teeth secretly: “This guy, he must be secretly happy! Hmph, secretly proud? I’m not going to let you off so easily!”
Chen Fengchen was surprised at first. After all, there has never been any news in the entertainment industry about Mo Fei getting married. Why is her daughter so old?
However, he wasn’t too surprised. After all, things like hiding love affair and marriage weren’t uncommon in the entertainment industry.
But when Mo Fei’s last sentence came out and thought of his own purpose for coming, Chen Fengchen looked strangely at Yang Yi, who was coming over with the brewed tea.
Mo Fei originally has a cold disposition and was not very good at dealing with others, so after she confessed, her conversation with Chen Fengchen fell into a cold state. Chen Fengchen was thinking about his own matter, and didn’t care. It was just that Mo Fei herself was in distress and didn’t know what she should do or what to say.
After Yang Yi brought the tea and sat next to her, Mo Fei barely thought of something to talk about. She asked, “Director Chen, did you come here today to find actors in Jiangchuan?”
Apart from this possibility, Mo Fei couldn’t think of any other reason for Chen Fengchen to leave Beijing and come to Jiangcheng Media University.
Yang Yi wasn’t very interested in matters in the entertainment industry. After he made the tea and brought it to the old man, he actually has a good idea to pull his daughter away so as not to disturb Mo Fei’s conversation with the other party.
However, Chen Fengchen’s face was a little strange. He pointed to Yang Yi and said, “If I’m not mistaken, your husband is Yang Yi, right?”
Mo Fei looked surprised. She didn’t expect that he would know Yang Yi’s name, but she didn’t think too much about it. She nodded and said, “Yes, how do you know?”
But Yang Yi has already reacted, not many people know his name!
Yang Yi carefully looked at Chen Fengchen, who was dressed in somewhat quaint temperament, and asked tentatively, “Director Chen, is the old gentleman Director Chen Fengchen?”
Chen Fengchen smiled slightly and said calmly, “Yes, I’m here to see you!”
Originally, before coming to this place, Chen Fengchen was still a little worried. He didn’t know what kind of temper the author Yang Yi has! But now that he saw Mo Fei and knew that Yang Yi was the “husband” of someone he was familiar with, he put down half his heart1and felt almost safe!
“Ah? To see Yang Yi?” It was Mo Fei’s turn to be surprised.
Chen Fengchen didn’t explain to Mo Fei. Instead, he raised his head and looked at Yang Yi and said with a smile, “This little brother Yang should know why I came here. I’m sorry I made a sudden visit, but it’s also because little brother Yang is good at writing books!”
Mo Fei was still a little confused. Yang Yi sat down beside her and whispered in her ear, “Haven’t I published two books? He came to buy the film and television rights.”
It turned out to be like this! Mo Fei understood. In an instant, she understood the details, including what she had just said, and she couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed.
Since it was related to him, Yang Yi didn’t leave. He looked at the other party calmly. Although he used respectful words, his tone was neither humbly nor haughty: “Yes, the publishing house has talked to me, but I didn’t expect you to come in person. I wanted to wait after this month. My daughter is going to kindergarten. After that, I have some free time to visit.”
“That won’t be necessary. I’m not that pedantic. Your books are really good. Give me a price. I want to buy both to make a TV series.” Chen Fengchen waved his hand and cut straight to the point. He wasn’t so straightforward, but his uncompromising momentum as a great director was faintly revealed.
If Mo Fei wasn’t there, Yang Yi could give a strong response because he was unhappy with the oppression of the other party’s momentum, but now that Mo Fei was there, Yang Yi found it much more troublesome to deal with.
He turned to Mo Fei and made eye contact with her: “Will it affect you?”
Mo Fei understood his meaning, and felt warm in her heart, but she responded with a firm look: “Do what you want, do not mind me!”
