Chapter 53: The Man
Dusch remembered that night, and the brief warmth at the end, and his big palm silently caressed his back, allowing her to lie on him until he fell asleep.
At that moment, Du Shi thought that if Meng Yankai only asked for her physiologically, there was no need to do more after being satisfied, and the action was so comforting, as if it gave her physical and mental snuggling.
Zhou Youning looked at her gloomy smile, and knew that most of the words to persuade her to let go or give up were useless.
Du Shi is casual on the surface, but in fact, he has a strong tenacity in his heart, if it is what she believes, it is indeed not to hit the south wall and not look back.
After talking to Ning Xun before, Zhou Youning thought about his words carefully, if the bond between Du Shi and Meng Yankai had already been there, she finally had the opportunity to plunge into it, how could it be so easy to give up.
But Zhou Youning is more worried that her hope and persistence will be worn out little by little like this. What is the difference between the pain of cutting meat with a blunt knife?
Du Shi sat on the sofa, his hands supporting his face, and there was a layer of hazy moisture in his eyes, and he wanted to get wet.
Zhou Youning said: "I think this matter is a little strange, Chu Zhi has only played two small roles, and the most popular is the sweet pet web drama at the end of last year, although the data is very good when it is broadcast, but there is actually no splash." From last night to now, how many Internet celebrities and celebrities have been invited to Liao Yi's birthday party, and in the scene pictures that have been picked up, the celebrities who appear are more famous than her, and many Internet celebrities are more popular than her, dressed explicitly, and acted boldly, which is not a gimmick? Why did you pick Chu Zhi?
Zhou Youning didn't speak for Meng Yankai, obviously Du Shi couldn't let go, so it was better to analyze the doubts with her from the perspective of the industry environment and rationality.
Du Shi looked at her and said lightly: "The problem is not Chu Zhi. After saying that, he laughed, "Forget it." β
I still can't stay up all night. Du Shi lay down on the sofa in Zhou Youning's office and slept for a while, and Zhou Youning was afraid of noisy her, so he went out to make a work call.
When he came back, Du Shi fell asleep wearing an eye patch and a blanket on his body, the screen of the mobile phone in his hand was on, and a call came in, and the caller ID was Meng Yankai.
Zhou Youning glanced at it, picked up the mobile phone and hung up, and scolded in a low voice: "Dog man." β
Zhou Youning pretended to be the media just now. called Chu Zhi's staff, and the other party replied, "I'm sorry, it's inconvenient to inform", Zhou Youning sneered at the time, so far Chu Zhi and her agency have not come out to fart, and the staff actually has this default attitude, it seems that they want to take advantage of this matter to make a fire.
Beware of burning yourself to death.
Chu Zhi has been in this circle for two years, and although he is still a nameless little sudden, he has also learned to look at people's eyes and know who to provoke. No one can be messed with.
Of course, she knew that breaking ground on someone like Meng Yankai would block her own future.
At the beginning, the agent found her when she auditioned for a supporting role in an online drama and praised her for her beauty, and she must have an unlimited future, but later she realized that if she looks good in the entertainment industry, whether she has a future or not depends on her fate.
Just like Dusch, like her, he is from a non-professional background. is still an instant hit with a movie, and after the popularity of the movie has declined, her value is still not declining.
That's the difference in life.
She recognized that she was a small character, and last night she finally had a chance to climb the high branches, and the agent often scolded her for being clumsy and not smart, and it was better for smart people to "fight" for themselves, so she went to a birthday party of an unknown man with the company's artist last night, and tried to ask for a married man's phone number.
I don't know that after the humiliation at that moment, I still get into constant trouble for myself.
First, the senior management of the agency ordered that she was forbidden to speak out about her scandal, otherwise the heroine of the next play would replace her.
The role of that play, although she doesn't like it very much, but for her acting career, which may end at any time because it is too dull, it is already a great comfort to have money to earn.
But in the afternoon, Shen Pingyue came to her in person, brought a surveillance video of the hotel, and asked her to post a Weibo clarification.
She watched it, and the video included the time when Meng Yan drove into the hotel and the time when he left.
Shen Pingyue was sitting on the sofa in her hotel room. Folded legs, extremely expensive, not at all like the swinger of last night.
Chu Zhi lowered his head and looked at the video, and said in embarrassment: "But my brokerage company won't let me clarify." β
"Why not?"
Chu Zhi said: "It will be blocked." β
The more Shen Ping listened to her, her voice was weak, and she looked supple, and she really didn't look like she dared to make waves.
Shen Pingyue said: "How much money do you have to pay for breaking the contract?"
Chu Zhi looked puzzled: "Ah, this, I have to flip through the contract." β
Shen Pingyue said: "You can send the clarified Weibo, I have prepared a lawyer's letter to sue the rumor-mongering marketing account, and you will send it out with the video at that time, and I will pay for the termination." β
Shen Pingyue stretched out his hand to the lawyer beside him, and the other party handed him the contract, "Regarding my above-mentioned guarantee, a contract has been drafted." β
"However, in this way, I will not be filming in the future. Chu Zhi is helpless, she has the resources to have a brokerage company, she is a nobody, she dares to terminate the contract at will if she is not famous, and no other brokerage company will sign her.
Shen Pingyue just wants to settle the temporary troubles, but what she will ruin is her future and her only source of income.
She glanced at Shen Pingyue, and she couldn't say the word "Brother Yue" at all last night, so she only said cautiously: "Mr. Shen, this is my only livelihood, and I still have to pay off my father's gambling debts??"
Shen Ping smiled more and more, and Chu Zhi looked at him inexplicably.
Shen Pingyue looked at the face that was quite good-looking, but looked overly cowardly, and said with a smile: "The father who owes the debt, the seriously ill mother, and the brother who doesn't speak, I understand." β
Chu Zhi opened his lips in surprise. I couldn't speak, I just felt as humiliated as if I had been slapped in public.
But these people have the ability to think very highly of themselves, and they have long regarded playing with others as the norm, and it is useless for her to feel wronged.
"That's it," Shen Pingyue added, "The boss of Jiahai Media has a little friendship with me, Jiahai is incomparable to your current third-rate brokerage company, after the contract is terminated, you will go there, is this feasible?"
Shen Pingyue said to the lawyer: "I said this just now, add it." β
Chu Zhi hesitated, and couldn't make up his mind for a while.
Shen Pingyue was speechless, frowned impatiently, and couldn't help but speak louder: "Miss Chu, it is difficult to achieve great things without self-knowledge and foresight like this." The pies are personally fed to your mouth and you don't know how to eat, if you have other conditions, then hurry up and mention it, my time is very precious. β
Chu Zhi was so frightened by him that he didn't dare to come out.
Shen Pingyue sighed: "Let me tell you this, I didn't want to take you away last night, so I asked my friend to send you off by the way, just because of this incident, I was taken by someone with a heart, and I made a big fuss, so her wife didn't answer his phone, and it is likely that there will be a marriage crisis, and even lose the project that you can't afford to lose, it's my fault." However, if you hadn't come to Liao Yi's birthday last night, this kind of thing would never have happened, so take your share of responsibility, Miss Chu. β
Chu Zhi lowered his eyes, pinched his skirt in his hand, and asked in a low voice, "So why don't you take me away?"
Shen Pingyue thought that he had heard something, "What?"
"I said, why do you blame me for attending someone else's birthday party?" Chu Zhi raised his head. His eyes were half fearful and half uneven, "It was the company that asked me to get to know more people, what can I do? Why don't you blame yourself for not taking me, or why don't you blame your friend for coming to the birthday party?"
Shen Pingyue didn't speak, staring at her, Chu Zhi ran out of courage, and immediately lowered his head.
Then he said leisurely: "Because you can't afford to play a game of four people, because he is my friend, and you are nothing." β
yes, she's nothing. The mayflies in the river and the shrimp in the sea are only the existence at the bottom of the food chain.
Shen Pingyue didn't like people who cried, so the contract was thrown in front of her: "Either sign this contract and do as I say, you will have better brokerage resources, your debtor's father and seriously ill mother, and you can be saved." Or, let's see if you, a brokerage company that is not in the climate, have the ability to argue with the Shen family and the boss of Hengze. β
In other words, his brokerage company can't afford to offend people. If she is offended, the consequences can be imagined.
Shen Pingyue said again: "Don't worry, I sincerely want to solve the problem, and I don't want to hurt you." If you really start a war of public opinion, you will only become a victim of capital. β
If he didn't want to focus the public on the point that Chu Zhi was slandered, try his best to reduce the impact on Meng Yankai, and don't mention Meng Yankai, otherwise why would he come to Chu Zhi.
If he really uses other ways that will expose Meng Yankai's identity, how will he disclose it to Du Shi in the future?
??
In the evening, Chu Zhi posted on his Weibo. To tell the truth, the friend who went to the birthday party with her had something to do, and it was Liao Yi who arranged for her to take a ride on her friend, and it happened that she and Liao Yi's friend were staying in the same hotel.
even hung up a lawyer's letter to frame the marketing accounts that spread the rumors.
At the same time, the hotel's surveillance screen recording showed that at 11:51 p.m., the two got out of the car and entered the hotel back and forth, and she and the man went downstairs on different floors in the elevator, and finally at 12:03. Surveillance at the entrance of the hotel showed the man leaving.
The angles of the video clips are very tricky, and only the back of the man can be seen, but judging from the clothes, there is no doubt that it is the same person.
Then Liao Yi also personally reposted Chu Zhi's Weibo, expressing his apologies for the trouble caused to Chu Zhi and his friends.
Liao Yi even sacrificed himself to save the scene and sent all the topics related to his birthday party to the hot search to divert attention.
Due to the large number of celebrities and Internet celebrities present, the people who eat melons don't care about Chu Zhi's at all, and it was a hot search on dozens of comments from the beginning, and most of them are suspected of hype.
And most people are more curious, who is the friend who went with Chu Zhi, and who is her friend's boyfriend?
However, the annual festival of fashion films began.
The official blog posted red carpet photos and on-site interviews of the stars on Weibo, and the star studios also sent out promotional photos of the artists, and the invited ones were either celebrities and models who have a place in the fashion circle, or actors who have achieved real results, or top artists who take the traffic route.
The grand occasion of this event is the annual fan meeting, which can be compared to the little star and small Internet celebrity on the birthday of Liao Yi's rich second generation, so it quickly squeezed the heat of that event down.
Du Shi arrived at 5:40, and Zhou Youning personally accompanied her tonight.
As soon as Du Shi got off the bus outside the venue, he was surrounded by reporters with microphones, asking about her previous love scandals.
"Dusch, is there any good news in terms of relationships?"
"The owner of the previous license plate number 037, is it your boyfriend?"
"Is 037 the boss who invested in your first play?"
"Everyone says that he is your gold master, do you want to respond to the rumors of your superiority?"
Zhou Youning stretched out his hand to go around Du Shi's back, grabbed her microphone and said, "I am her boss and her gold owner." With that, he waved away her microphone.
Whispered a word of neurosis.
The reporters were gossiping one by one, and seeing that Du Shi did not speak, they began to besiege Zhou Youning. "Does the agent know the inside story, will it affect her if she is in love?"
Zhou Youning frowned throughout the whole process: "What kind of love, she is single, everyone eats melons rationally, don't just rotten melons, okay?"
After entering the infield, it was finally quiet.
Not far from the event is the photo booth of the event party, as well as the official interview link, the media entering the venue are screened and invited by the event party, and the interview is asked by the host alone, and there will be no out-of-the-ordinary questions, so there are other reporters blocking the door to dig materials.
Dusch's dress today is a show haute couture, a champagne gold wrap skirt with gold tassel embellishments, dropped shoulders and long sleeves, a skirt just dragging to the floor, a V-neck on the front chest, and a hollow heavy lace on the back.
There are steps at the end of the red carpet in the photo area, this skirt is easy to step on, and the heel is high, Zhou Youning picked her up at the bottom of the steps, and she lifted the skirt. With one hand on Zhou Youning's hand, he still slipped off guard and almost fell.
Behind the red carpet area is the exhibition area, with a very artistic black and white background, the exhibition content is related to movies, there are videos and graphics, and there are many guests chatting with each other.
Dusch was talking to a magazine editor when the other person was saying that they would take a group photo together for the cover of the magazine's special issue later, and someone behind her called her name.
Du Shi turned his head and saw that it was Gu Xuan. She was dressed in a white mermaid dress, which looked clean and temperamental.
The editor-in-chief patted her on the shoulder, "You guys talk first, see you later." β
Gu Xuan held champagne in his hand, chatted with Du Shi for a few words and left.
Zhou Youning was puzzled: "Why is she here? β
Dusch shook his head.
Zhou Youning saw that she was in a bad mood, and slapped her on the waist, and Du Shi gasped.
Zhou Youning said: "You cheer me up, that designer is a person from Italy, and he is the design director of your endorsement brand, and people have seen you several times." Use your language to your advantage and talk to someone. β
Du Shi looked in the direction of Zhou Youning, and what he saw was not a designer, but Ye Yanqing, who was chatting with people not far behind the designer.
Du Shi didn't move, deliberately waiting for the man to walk away before going over to talk to the designer.
From time to time, Zhou Youning came over and said to her: "There is something temporary, I will leave first, and I will find Fu Xiaose and Zhao Cheng if I have something." β
At half past seven, at the highlight of the event, the event party delivered a speech to promote the concept of fashion film activities and the achievements of public welfare.
The beginning is a half-hour long film, summarizing the fragments of this year's excellent film and television works, including the tearful retrospective clip at the end of Dusch's debut, accompanied by her free and poignant lines, to this paragraph. The background music has also reached a high tide, echoing each other, the atmosphere is set off to the extreme, and the emotions of the guests sitting in the audience are also mobilized, clapping and shouting.
Finally, there is dinner, with several long Western-style tables and guests seated in their seats.
I don't know if it's a coincidence or a deliberate arrangement, Du Shi is Ye Yanqing on the left, and Liang Zhuo is on the right.
deliberately arranged her next to Liang Zhuoyi, there was no lack of intention to make trouble, but why Ye Yanqing would sit with her, she really couldn't find a clue.
Not long after sitting down, it was Ye Yanqing who took the initiative to say hello: "Du Shi, what a coincidence." β
Du Shi was chatting with Liang Zhuoyi at that time, and only then did he turn his head when he heard the sound, as if he had just seen her, looked at her for a moment, and raised his lips calmly: "It's really a coincidence." β
Ye Yanqing asked: "I heard that you and him lived in the marriage room?"
"Hmm. Dusch took a sip of champagne and took care of her with his spare eyes.
Ye Yanqing said again: "Grandpa was a little angry about the incident last night. β
Du Shi's eyes hurt from the crystal candlestick in the middle of the table, he turned his face away, and frowned, "Really, I'm not angry, what is he angry about, Meng Yankai has never been with him." β
"You're not angry?" Ye Yanqing asked knowingly.
Du Shi was in a bad mood, he didn't bother to go around the bend with her, and looked at her with a smile: "Mrs. Meng, what's going on, Meng Jingsheng didn't tell you? It seems that your status is not good." If you knowingly tempt me, you will be glad for you. Seeing that your body is recovering well, you are in the mood to care about other people's affairs. β
Ye Yanqing smiled, elegantly turned away, and didn't say anything more.
After a while, Dusch listened to her talk to a model next to her about constellations, and the other party asked, "What zodiac sign do you have?"
Ye Yanqing said: "I don't pay much attention to this, is it according to the original birthday, or the birthday on the ID card?"
"It depends on the exact date of birth. β
"I'm from April 9th. β
"Then you are an Aries. β
"What year are you?"
"X2 years. β
"You're a year older than me, you can't tell. β
The voice around him was buzzing, and Du Shi's mind was also buzzing, originally it was just a thought slipping through at first, but it became more and more clear.
Du Shi didn't know how the meal was finished, anyway, the crowd was over, and she followed.
When she left, she almost tripped over her skirt, Liang Zhuoyi quickly supported her, saw that her face was not good, and asked her, "Are you sick?"
Dusch didn't speak, just waved his hand, "Thank you." β
Fu Xiaose and Zhao Cheng were waiting for her outside, and left with her and got into the business car. When Du Shi got in the car, he asked Fu Xiaose for his mobile phone.
Fu Xiaose gave her the mobile phone and said, "By the way, Mr. Meng called you just now." β
Du Shi didn't hear it, she opened the calendar on her phone, and turned back to April 9 of X2 year, which was also the seventh day of March of the lunar calendar.
She stared at those numbers, her eyes were gradually blinded by something, she was not very clear, her hands and feet were as cold as falling into an ice cellar, and there was a call coming in from her mobile phone, her eyes were dizzy, she couldn't see clearly, and she pressed the phone directly.
Fu Xiaose saw some people coming, and whispered, "It's Mr. Meng, how many did he beat??"
As if he couldn't hear it, as if he had exhausted his last strength, he squeezed out his voice and told the driver: "Let's go, canal bank." β
