Chapter 423 If you don't talk about money, you can't talk about feelings
"Actually, I listened to you carefully," Du Caige, who had the memory of a camera, easily repeated her previous words in general, and then said, "But these have nothing to do with me." You say you're doing something wrong? No, it's not a bad question. ”
"There is no right or wrong in love. Entangled in right and wrong, just because you know very well, I actually don't love you anymore, you actually don't love me anymore, you are not convinced, and you want to fight for clarity. But in fact, since we don't love each other, then we look at each other and hate each other. To say more, it's all wrong. ”
"So why are you still pestering me? ”
"I know you're not reconciled, but you have to learn to accept it, that's what it is. Once upon a time there was a very fine set of porcelain in front of you. You didn't cherish. You smashed it to pieces. Now you want to glue it up? Sorry, no way. All you can do is throw it away and don't let the pieces hurt your hands. ”
When he said this, Du Caige was very calm, and he was not sarcastic, but very sincere.
It is estimated that Su Manqian also understood, and finally understood Du Caige's resoluteness.
If Du Caige yelled, she might think that Du Caige hadn't let go yet, and her heart was still entangled.
But Du Caige was so calm, obviously he really saw through it and let it go.
So she didn't act anymore, just tears flowed silently, down her delicate cheeks.
Du Caige sat with her for a while.
Su Manqian quietly shed tears for a while, then took out a pack of tissues from her bag, took out one and carefully wiped her eyes and face.
He took out a small mirror and looked at it.
Only then did he raise his head and look at Du Caige pleadingly: "I understand." I won't pester you anymore. It's just that...... Can you hug me again?"
Du Caige did not hesitate at all, and refused with a smile: "No." ”
Su Manqian froze. She actually took retreat as advance, and wanted to wait for Du Caige to hug her, and then ask him, "Can you kiss me again." ”
Then he continued to routinely follow the routine.
As a result, Du Caige didn't play cards according to the routine.
Su Manqian smiled bitterly: "I didn't find out before, it turns out that you are so ruthless." ”
"The hundreds of women I've slept with and broken up with know that I'm heartless, but you don't know. Du Caige did not hesitate to blacken himself at this time.
When Su Manqian was speechless, Du Caige said again: "If you want me to write a song for you, it's actually no problem, as long as you follow my rules, you can give as much as you want." Who am I selling my songs to and not selling?"
Su Manqian's cheeks twitched, looking very uncomfortable: "This is the kind of relationship we have now?
"If you don't talk about money, you can't talk about feelings. I wondered, I don't have any feelings to talk about. ”
Du Caige didn't know if Su Manqian would be stabbed by such words.
He didn't want to irritate her, he just wanted her to recognize the reality - we didn't have any friendship to speak of, and ex-boyfriends and ex-girlfriends were actually no better than strangers.
So, don't expect me to take advantage of you because of the old relationship, that's impossible. Because there is no such thing as an old relationship.
Su Manqian glanced at him, took out the small bag containing cosmetics from the bag, added a little powder, and redrew the lipstick.
She did it slowly, and I remember that Adu used to enjoy watching her do it.
He always said that when you do this, your neck looks very slender, as graceful and beautiful as a white swan, and your side face is also very perfect, so that you will never get tired of looking at it.
He used to smile and say, I want to look at you quietly like this until the earth is desolate.
At that time, she often sneered in her heart.
I don't know how many women you've said this to. Coax the ghost to go.
But now, she wanted to hear him say it again, but she couldn't.
A man's heart is like iron.
She secretly observed Adu out of the corner of her gaze, but to her disappointment, Adu didn't even look at her at all.
Su Manqian sighed helplessly in her heart.
The methods have been exhausted, but they have never been effective...... Well, that's the only way to try it.
"Adu," she said, putting away the small mirror and lipstick, and taking out the pack of women's cigarettes, "Actually, I haven't had a good time in the past two years. Of course, what you know is only scratching the surface, and there are many things that are not clear to outsiders. ”
Speaking of which, she had already pulled out a slender lady's cigarette and lit it, "Someone is chasing me." Chase very closely. ”
"Congratulations. Du Caige said indifferently.
"I don't like him and I don't want to associate with him, but I can't hide from him. He's too rich. I can't tell you who it is, in short, it's someone who doesn't dare to offend the majority shareholder of Silver Star. Moreover, he has a wife. ”
“...... Kindness. Du Caige didn't know what to say.
"If I can continue to make money for the company, which is the company's cash cow, the company will make greater efforts to protect me. But now, the company can only do not push me into the fire pit. ”
Du Caige expressed serious doubts about this: "Although this circle has always been unclean. But a diva-level female star like you should still be able to protect herself. ”
"Pop!"
Su Manqian lit the cigarette and took a few puffs in a row.
But apparently she didn't inhale it in her lungs, and the smoke she spit out was thick, sticky green smoke.
"You don't know anything about this circle. ”
Du Caige shrugged, "This can be regarded as a personal attack." ”
Su Manqian glanced at him: "A lot of your knowledge is superficial. ”
"For example, me, diva. But do you know that the money I make now is not as good as some of the top second-tier artists?"
"Because I'm a diva, I have to be reserved, I can't accept any commercial performances, and I can't accept any endorsements. ”
"But my popularity is not strong enough, the traffic is not large enough, and the price is too high. ”
"Others will think that instead of spending 1 million to invite me to sing a song, it is better to spend 500,000 to invite a second-tier singer who has become popular recently to sing two songs. Spend 15 million to ask me to endorse a diamond ring, it is better to spend 4 million to ask a small flower with high traffic to endorse, maybe the effect of bringing goods is better. ”
Du Caige didn't even believe in a single punctuation mark.
He had talked to Duan Xiaochen before.
is also a diva, Duan Xiaochen has received more than 4 or 50 million after-tax income every year over the years.
When the harvest is good, there are 7, 80 million.
Even if Su Manqian is worse than her, it is not much worse. It is estimated that it will not be less than 30 million after-tax income a year.
Who will weep to be poor here?
But then, Su Manqian unexpectedly announced her income generously, "In 03 and 04, it was when I made the most money, and I could earn sixty or seventy million a year, after tax." According to my contract, the company can also make almost 100 million on me. ”
"But now, I only have an income of 20 or 30 million a year. The company's earnings on me have also suffered. ”
"What's more, I am not irreplaceable now. There are too many alternatives for companies. ”
"For example, Chang Xiaoling, although she is only second-tier, she is very popular, earns more than me, and has more influence than me. ”
She focuses on the word "influence".
Du Caige probably understood.
Su Manqian glanced at him, "You understand, huh?"
"With my coffee position, the company will not force me to accompany me to drink and play. But it won't try to protect me. Many times, they pretend to be deaf and dumb, and even happy to see it. So I'm in an awkward position right now. In front of that person, I had little power to protect myself. ”
"If you're still a man and don't want to see your ex-girlfriend tainted by other disgusting men, think of a way for me to help me increase my popularity, help me reunite the popularity that a diva should have, and make me a cash cow for the company again. At this, she raised her voice abruptly.
Before, she was a very weak woman with a little sorrow and resentment.
The sudden rise in her tone made her tone seem much more intense.
It's very incendiary.
Even people who have nothing to do with her, hearing her say this, may be aroused into hostility, filled with righteous indignation, and want to help her.
The corners of Du Caige's mouth twitched......
If he was just hated because of love before, then when Su Manqian used this trick, it is estimated that the plot will be reversed.
But...... I really don't have any feelings for her!
Neither love nor hate.
Why doesn't she understand!
After pondering for a moment, Du Caige stood up.
Su Manqian looked at him in surprise.
From his face, there was no trace of emotion.
This is not good news.
Her heart was sinking.
Du Caige said: "Do you know, your figure and appearance, although they are all good, they are not the best I have ever encountered. I've slept with so many women, some with a better body than you, someone more beautiful than you. ”
"But, at the time, I thought you had a special feeling. I think you're a special person. Of course, now it is clear to me that it was just an illusion. But at the time, I really thought you were special. Du Caige recalled the scenes in the memory fragments, and said with feeling.
"So, I will fall in love with you at that time, and see you as my salvation, and see you as my destiny. ”
He shook his head, "But actually, you're not. Now I understand. I gave my heart to you, but you forsook it. So, so be it. ”
What he said just now, he said it with the identity and feelings of "Lin Ke".
Lin Ke didn't have a chance to say the words in front of her before, but this time he said them all. There is no feeling of "joy", it's just that it seems like the next full stop has finally been written.
"Now, love is gone. When I look at you again, that special feeling is gone, and I know that you are not a special existence. You know, it's impossible to get that feeling back. So love can't be found again. ”
"That's it, you don't have to play the emotional card anymore, and it is useless to tell you clearly. ”
"If you want something from me, then use your mind, think about it rationally," Du Caige tilted his head and pointed to his head, "Think about it, what do you have to exchange with me." ”
"Money, resources, and favors are all fine. ”
"Think about it slowly. After speaking, Du Caige turned around and walked towards the box.
Su Manqian sat in place, motionless. She has her head down, her bangs hanging low, and her eyes obscured by shadows.
