Chapter 40: Career
Yuan Lu slept for a whole day, until late in the evening, a call came from home.
She barely got up, washed her face, drank water, and then called back.
There is nothing to do, on the one hand, I ask her about some daily trivial things, and on the other hand, I nag and instruct.
After playing for more than ten minutes, after hanging up, Yuan Lu looked at the date and found that his parents would come over tomorrow.
Immediately after, Zou Yan's phone also called.
She didn't mention Jiang Ren's matter, and directly clarified the intention of this call, "Second uncle and second aunt are coming tomorrow, my mother asked me to pick you up and live at home, and I will pick up people at the airport tomorrow." ”
Yuan Lu rubbed his swollen eyes and looked at his puffy and haggard face in the mirror, "Can I refuse?"
"What do you say?"
She let out a long spit, "But my face is ...... now."
"Your face won't get better today, and it won't get better tomorrow. ”
"Got it. ”
"Where are you now? I'll come to you. ”
She gave her address.
After hanging up the phone, she got a towel and put a compress on her eyes.
"Chen Meng, lend me your cosmetics. I have to go to my second aunt's house in the evening, and my parents will come tomorrow, so you have to stay by yourself for the next two days. ”
"Your face, how do you explain it?"
Yuan Lu sighed, "I haven't thought about it yet." ”
Chen Meng touched her face, "That person must have deliberately come at your face, he was so ruthless, he wanted to disfigure you, right?"
Yuan Lu doesn't want to mention these now, her eyes are sour when she mentions them, she doesn't want to cry anymore, she has to see people tomorrow.
Even if your face hurts, if your eyes are like walnuts, it will be even more worrying at that time.
Originally, her mother was a thoughtful person, and she was always afraid that she would be bullied outside, worried about this and that. Seeing her like this now, I will definitely suspect that she is being bullied.
This wound, it's really not the right time.
"I don't know if I can get some ice cubes and apply a cold compress, it should reduce the swelling faster. ”
Chen Meng patted her hand, "I'll ask." ”
When Chen Meng went out, he was just in time for Shen Yunting to come out of the elevator.
The two looked at each other, and Chen Meng said, "You go downstairs with me, Yuan Lu wants ice cubes." ”
"What's wrong?"
"My eyes are swollen from crying, and I want to apply a cold compress. ”
Shen Yunting glanced at her, didn't say anything, and directly followed her into the elevator again.
There was no one else in the elevator, Chen Meng asked, "Are you trying to chase Yuan Lu?"
"What's the problem?"
"You can't catch up now. ”
Shen Yunting smiled but did not speak.
"Really, don't look at her like she's single-minded, but she's really single-minded. ”
"I think you, as her best friend, should guide her to look forward, instead of focusing on an unworthy person, which is the right thing for a best friend. Could it be that you're still going to help her get people back?"
Chen Meng: "You don't look like a good person. ”
"Whether you are a good person or not, you only know after getting along. ”
"That makes sense. But I think this matter can't be left like that, Yuan Lu shed so many tears, he can't be in vain. The woman said that Yuan Lu found someone to beat her, and Jiang Ren came to Xingshi to ask for the guilt, since this is the case, it is better to sit down on this matter. Doesn't she like to be beaten? ”
Chen Meng put his hands behind his back, "Yuan Lu, this person just has a powerful face, but in fact, he is very soft, and if he is bullied, he will only keep silent." I've known her for so many years, I know her character too well, and as her best friend, I can't watch her being bullied. ”
"It's just that the people I didn't know in Beicheng were worried about what to do before, but now this problem has been solved, it depends on whether you want to help me or not. ”
Shen Yunting shook his head, "I won't help you, you can do what you want to do." ”
Chen Meng tilted his head, "How much I like her when you are." ”
"Two different things, she can take advantage of my liking for her, you can't. ”
The elevator stopped, the door slowly opened, and Shen Yunting made a gesture of please.
Chen Meng raised his eyebrows, didn't say much, and went out on his own.
Shen Yunting returned upstairs and rang the doorbell.
Yuan Lu didn't think much about it, and opened the door directly.
Seeing him, he was stunned for a few seconds before coming back to his senses, blocking the door and not letting him in.
Shen Yunting handed her a medicine bag and said, "There are medicines specially prescribed by dermatologists in it, both external and internal, and it will get better faster." Usually avoid eating and do not use cosmetics for the time being, so as not to leave scars. ”
Yuan Lu didn't answer, "It's not a serious wound, don't be so troublesome." ”
He quipped, "Is it true that beautiful women don't pay special attention to their faces?"
Because of Jiang Ren's words, Yuan Lu was very uncomfortable when he saw Shen Yunting now, and after his mood calmed down, he thought of getting into Shen Yunting's car in front of Jiang Ren yesterday, which was very wrong.
It would not be known what he thought of her.
Yuan Lu took a breath, looked at him, and said, "I was really embarrassed yesterday, I was dizzy with anger, so yesterday I got into your car and accepted your kindness, it doesn't mean anything, I hope you don't think about it too much." Don't waste time on me, I understand your kindness and heart. ”
"If you really like me, respect my decision. ”
Shen Yunting reached out and grabbed her hand, and put the medicine bag in her hand, "More than three hundred yuan, I count you three hundred, okay?"
Yuan Lu paused for a few seconds before he reacted, hurriedly turned around to find his wallet, and took four hundred to him.
"Then you have a good rest and have a chance to invite me to dinner. ”
"Good. Yuan Lu just responded politely.
Yuan Lu watched him leave before closing the door, hoping that he would really not see him again.
Shen Yunting was a little frustrated, but as long as he wanted it, there was no woman he couldn't get.
Chen Meng was in the hotel kitchen and came back with a small bucket of ice.
At this time, Yuan Lu had already discovered the circle of friends, her face was ugly, and she was sitting on the sofa.
She dropped her phone on the table, "You got this?"
Chen Meng put down the ice bucket, "What's wrong? He posted such a circle of friends, isn't it for you?"
"Then you don't have to post this, do you? Do you know what he said about me? If you post this, doesn't it confirm his opinion of me?"
If he reacts to this circle of friends, it just means that he is still interested in you, and it just so happens that you turn them upside down. You can't make him think that you're the kind of person who comes and goes when he is called, and you have to peel off his skin no matter what. Otherwise, you will sleep with others in such a vain? Your feelings will be paid in vain? What is the truth?"
Yuan Lu deleted the circle of friends, "I don't want to do this." ”
"Then what do you want? Do you look like you can put it down in a chic way? You told me yesterday that you were unwilling. ”
"I don't want to talk about this now, let's deal with my parents first. ”
"You are too weak, people who don't know you can still be bluffed by your looks, but if people who know you and know your temperament, they can really bully you casually. Jiang Ren, isn't this just holding your temperament? If I were you, I wouldn't be able to swallow this breath. ”
Yuan Lu: "I hate my looks a little bit now." ”
"You've been shot in the head, and if I could change it, I'd really like to take your face for myself. ”
"I'm not kidding you. ”
"I'm not kidding you. ”
Chen Meng went to get a towel, wrapped a few pieces of ice, and carefully helped her apply her eyes, "So you have to have someone like me by your side to protect you, otherwise you will have to suffer a lot of dumb losses in your life." ”
When Zou Yan came, Yuan Lu had already done everything, and simply put on eye makeup, and the wounds on his face couldn't be covered, but he also thought of an excuse.
Let's just say that he was accidentally injured by persuasion.
And so it is.
She is a good girl in the eyes of her elders when she is young, so she will not be suspicious of anything, which Yuan Lu still has a little confidence in.
On the way, Zou Yan still mentioned it with a lot of words, "It's time to calm down and think clearly, right?" In fact, the pain is temporary, and it will always come out slowly, and you can meet better people in the future. I really don't understand, look at my mother, she is a good role model. ”
Yuan Lu responded perfunctorily.
Zou Yan glanced at her, originally a little regretful for letting Shen Yunting interfere in this matter, but he would not regret it. It doesn't make sense here, then knock Jiang Ren, he doesn't give any hope, and one day he will completely let go.
Arrived at the Sheng family.
Yuan Meihua looked at the wound on her face, changed her face immediately, and asked her very seriously how she was injured.
Yuan Lu said according to the words he had thought of.
Yuan Meihua really didn't get suspicious, "Why are you a girl doing that nosy?
"I apologized to each other, it's not very serious, I went to the hospital to see it, and I also dispensed medicine, so it won't leave a scar. ”
"Don't allow it in the future, if you call your parents tomorrow, you will definitely be angry. Maybe you'll have to hire someone to settle accounts. ”
"It wasn't intentional, either. ”
"It's a ruthless look. How important is a girl's face, such a good face has a scar, but what should I do?"
"No, it won't. ”
"I know no, I'm just reminding you that if you encounter this kind of thing in the future, stay away. Everyone else is walking around, how can you go up and pull the rack. ”
Yuan Meihua babbled a lot, and Yuan Lu listened honestly.
Sheng Xiao came back a little late, and the father and son came back together.
Sheng Taoguang saw Yuan Lu's face and also asked.
Sheng Xiao stood behind Sheng Taoguang and listened to the explanation she gave.
Yuan Lu was halfway through speaking, and Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Sheng Xiao lowering his eyes and smiling, this smile came at the wrong time, and it was a mockery of her to fall here.
Yuan Lu is not very good at lying, it is very easy to break in front of the elders, when she said that to Yuan Meihua just now, she was empty, she has already shown her lifelong acting skills. This will, Sheng Xiao's smile made her unable to speak.
It gets stumbling.
Sheng Taoguang answered in time and said: "In the future, if you encounter this kind of thing, you should avoid it, or call the police, and don't go up impulsively." Have you seen a doctor?"
Yuan Lu looked at Sheng Taoguang's eyes, quickly lowered his eyes, and nodded, "I've seen it, and I said that it won't leave a scar." ”
"That's good. ”
Sheng Taoguang didn't ask much, and went back upstairs to change clothes first.
Sheng Xiao stood for a while, and when Sheng Taoguang walked away, he walked to Yuan Lu's side and said with a smile: "It's not good to lie." ”
Yuan Lu: "I'm not lying. ”
"Oh. ”
He laughed and walked away.
Yuan Lu waited for a while, turned around and saw people going upstairs, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
She went to the kitchen to see if there was anything to help, Yuan Meihua naturally wouldn't let her help, and after a while, she was kicked out of the kitchen and told her to sit and wait in the living room.
This time, Sheng Taoguang was in the living room, and she didn't dare to go over.
Although this uncle has a good attitude, he also shows friendliness, and he has no arrogance. But Yuan Lu always felt that it was not good to be restrained in front of him, and he didn't dare to stay alone with him.
There was something in Zou Yan's company, and he went out again not long after he came back, and it was not certain that he would not come back for dinner.
Yuan Lu walked around the restaurant, looking at this and that.
Sheng Xiao came down and saw her embarrassed appearance.
With a glass of water in his hand, he walked to the table and put the empty cup down, "What are you looking at?"
Yuan Lu was looking at the painting on the wall, and suddenly turned back when he heard the sound, "Huh?"
"No, just take a look. ”
Sheng Xiao smiled and said, "What do you think of this painting?"
Yuan Lu heard him ask, and looked at it carefully, she didn't understand this very well, "It's quite meaningful, it's a famous painting?"
She thought so as a matter of course, and he took the initiative to ask, it must be famous, right?
Sheng Xiao chuckled, "Yes, I drew it." ”
Yuan Lu turned his head suddenly, Sheng Xiao had already entered the kitchen with a cup and poured water.
This is being ridiculed.
Yuan Lu didn't stay any longer, first went to the living room to say hello to his uncle, and then went back to the room.
......
Jiang Ren's plane home at night.
After getting off work, I had dinner with Jing Fei and went to the airport.
Yan Yan drove over to pick up people.
Jing Fei waited with him, the car stopped, Zhou Ying came out and greeted Jing Fei warmly.
Jing Fei glanced at Jiang Ren and waited for him to make an introduction.
Jiang Ren: "I'm small. ”
"Hello, cousin. She greeted politely and deformably, Yan Yan and they had already met before.
Yan Yan lowered the window and beckoned to her.
Jiang Ren opened the door of the back seat and asked Zhou Ying to come down, "There is still plenty of time, send Jing Fei back to the school dormitory first." ”
"Okay. Yan Yan made an OK gesture.
Zhou Ying got out of the car and got into the co-pilot, but he still didn't forget to turn around and introduce himself to Jing Fei, "Hello, my name is Zhou Ying." I saw Jiang Renfa's circle of friends yesterday. ”
Jing Fei smiled shyly.
"I'm more beautiful than the photos. ”
"Thank you. ”
Jiang Ren: "Okay, sit down." ”
"Let's talk about it. ”
This side is not far from the school, and after arriving, Jiang Ren personally sent it to the dormitory.
Zhou Ying sighed twice and said, "This person is either not serious, but he is also a warm man when he is serious." ”
Yan Yan smiled, "What's the point of falling in love in a patterned way." ”
"Huh?"
"Nothing. ”
Zhou Ying stared at her and didn't let go, and after thinking about it carefully, it was really a little, "When you say that, it seems to be like this." ”
When he got downstairs in the bedroom, Jing Fei hugged him, "When are you coming back?" ”
"It will take a few days. ”
"You go home, I want to go home too, or I'll go back with you. My mom also called me two days ago and wanted me to go back. ”
"Then we have to wait for tomorrow, it's too hasty to go back today. ”
Jing Fei was a little disappointed.
Jiang Ren patted her on the shoulder, "Come on, I'm going to catch a plane." ”
"Oh well. Then call me when you arrive. ”
"Hmm. ”
Jing Fei turned around and entered the dormitory step by step.
After she entered, Jiang Ren turned around and left.
There was a slight traffic jam on the way to the airport, and time became short, but fortunately it was still in time.
It was already more than ten o'clock in the evening when I arrived in Yuecheng.
After the three got off the train at the station, they went home separately.
Mikawa Bay.
Jiang Ren carried simple luggage, walked to the front of his villa, and pressed the doorbell.
It took a few minutes for someone to open the door.
It is Aunt Guiyun, the old maid of the family.
"Jiang Ren, why did you come back, and you didn't say a word, your father still said that you didn't come back. ”
"Ad hoc decision, is my dad at home?"
"No, I live in Hangzhou these days. ”
Jiang Ren raised his eyebrows, "Oh." ”
"You call him, he will definitely come back immediately, now the company is bigger, he is also busy, the focus is on Hangzhou, there is no one at home here, he simply lives there. ”
"Good. Jiang Ren nodded.
Aunt Guiyun: "Are you hungry?" Do you want me to cook something to eat?"
"No need, you go to bed early, I'm going to sleep too. ”
"Good, good. ”
Jiang Ren returned to the room and lay down after taking a shower.
He clicked on his father's WeChat, [Dad, I'm going home, let's go to see my mother the day after tomorrow?]
......
Pei Li and Yuan Zheng took an early flight to Beicheng.
Yuan Lu followed Yuan Meihua to the airport to pick up the plane early, and sure enough, just like Yuan Lu thought, Pei Li saw the wound on her face, nagged all the way, and frowned tightly.
"Sure enough, the blind fortune teller is accurate, and he said that you can't go far this year, you really can't go far away! I think it's okay to sign the contract, you better go back with us, and I won't have to worry at home." ”
Yuan Lu: "Mom, I just had an accident, you are also a college graduate, why are you so superstitious." ”
"I'd rather believe it. ”
Yuan Zheng: "What Lulu said is, don't always engage in these feudal superstitions, they will all lead your old girlfriend astray." ”
Yuan Meihua said with a smile: "Second sister-in-law, if Lulu really wants to develop here, you don't have to worry about me here." I have already thought about it, Lulu will live in my house in the future, and arrange a special driver for her to pick her up, so as to avoid some small accidents. ”
Pei Li: "That's too much trouble for you, I'm embarrassed." ”
"The family doesn't talk to each other, Yuan Zheng helped me a lot in the past, and I remember it all. I also watched Lulu as my own daughter, so how could it be troublesome. ”
Pei Li: "Okay, okay, if Lulu really has this mind, I will trouble you to take care of it more." ”
"Say trouble again, don't talk about it in the future. ”
Pei Li smiled, looking at the scratches on Yuan Lu's cheeks, still distressed.
Yuan Meihua took them to the hotel first, and at noon, Sheng Taoguang came over in person, accompanied them for a meal, and then followed them to Shaolun.
Sheng Taoguang's name in Beicheng is loud,
Rongsheng Group is one of the largest conglomerates, Sheng Taoguang came, and the two heads of Shaolun Company received them together.
Without them saying anything, Shaolun redrafted a contract for Yuan Lu.
"I'll take her personally in the future. One of the people in charge said that he was a well-known ace agent in the circle.
Yuan Lu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, the agent that Brother Qing arranged for me before is very good." ”
"Who is it?"
Brother Qing replied: "Xie Keman." ”
"Oh, that's fine, but she's average. Of course, I will do my best to help, and recently I have a good resource at hand, and I can directly let her get on it, and get acquainted with her face first. ”
Sheng Taoguang: "This, I believe in your company's ability, so you don't have to tell me one by one." But some of the rules in your circle, I have also heard of it, my nephew has a simple personality, and those messy rules, don't use them on her. ”
"That's for sure, she's so young, we must protect her. ”
Sheng Taoguang looked at Yuan Zheng, "Second brother, do you see what other requirements and ideas you have." ”
Yuan Zheng: "With you here, I naturally don't want to worry, and I don't know much about these things." He turned his head to look at Yuan Lu, "What about you, just tell them what you think, don't hide it." ”
"Nothing else, I still need to juggle my studies. ”
"Actually, I think that if you don't do this, you can retake the art exam, and then we will help you transfer to another school and come to the film academy, we know a lot of people here, and it's easy to talk. Of course, there is also Mr. Sheng, which is even more effective with half the effort. ”
Sheng Taoguang looked at Yuan Lu, "It depends on whether you want to or not." ”
The film school is better than her current school, which is equivalent to mentioning her academic qualifications.
"But before the art exam, you have to stop studying, and we will arrange all the classes for you. Of course, we will also arrange for you in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, so you don't have to worry about this at all. ”
This is given an excellent arrangement.
Better than before, more promising.
Yuan Meihua said: "This is also a big deal, you draw up the contract first, let's go home and discuss, and give you an answer the day after tomorrow, how about it?"
"Yes. Our sincerity is here, waiting for your reply. ”
Sheng Taoguang accompanied them throughout the whole process today, and followed them back to the Sheng Mansion directly to discuss this matter carefully.
He also called his assistant, and after comparing several other media companies, the advantage of Shaolun's side is still obvious.
Sheng Taoguang gave very pertinent advice.
Yuan Zheng is only worried that this circle is too chaotic and not suitable for Yuan Lu's character. In fact, the two of them had this idea for a long time and cultivated it, but later they felt that Yuan Lu's introverted personality didn't seem to be suitable, so they didn't think about it again.
There are pros and cons to entering the entertainment industry.
While glamorous, you also lose a lot of things.
It's up to you.
Therefore, the final decision is still on Yuan Lu.
Yuan Meihua said: "I really think I can give it a try, Lulu is different from others, obviously she has a good starting point, as long as she works hard, she will definitely have very good results." Let's not be impetuous, just move towards the position of an old artist, I think it's okay. Our family has a big star of acting, that's a very glorious thing. ”
"You're young and pretty, don't waste it, really. There is only one life in life, so why not take such a wonderful road?"
Yuan Lu's road from childhood to adulthood was paved for her by Yuan Zheng, and she listened to everything at this stage.
As a result, her own decision-making is very weak now, and there are not many things that can really make up her own mind.
She lowered her head, and everyone fell silent, waiting for her response.
After a moment of silence, she raised her head, looked at Yuan Zheng, and said, "I want to try." ”
She didn't think too much, on the one hand, she was really a little excited, everyone will have a star dream in their hearts, and Yuan Lu is naturally no exception. On the other hand, she didn't want to leave Beicheng like this.
