52. Old friends

Ai Xin posted a photo with Junjun and Tao Li in the circle of friends, and it didn't take long for a lot of comments.

"Isn't this the painter on Weibo!"

"Ahhh ”

"Unhappy Tao Li ...... written all over his face"

She smiled, replied a few times, and suddenly remembered something and sent a message to Tao Li.

"Remember to tell him not to tweet. ”

"Rest assured. Tao Li quickly replied.

This is not Ai Xin's first contact with an Internet celebrity, but it is the first time to make friends with an Internet celebrity in the real sense. Tao Li told Ai Xin that the way they interact is to upload photos of themselves and their friends on social platforms, after all, the popularity of several people together will always exceed one person.

Although she didn't care much about this kind of thing, she still listened to Tao Li's advice and posted a group photo in the circle of friends. After a while, Junjun also liked it below.

Ai Xin looked at the schedule, this month was almost full, and the desk calendar was densely packed with small words. Tao Li had long ago said that she should hire an assistant or a secretary, but she always felt that it was unnecessary.

She put the desk calendar back on the table, sighed, and turned on the computer to look at the PDF she had just received, when her phone suddenly rang.

There was an unnamed number on the screen, and Ai Xin felt a little familiar, but she didn't remember who it was.

"Hello?"

"Hey. A young, slightly sticky male voice came from the other side, "It's me." ”

Ai Xin was stunned for a moment, searched in his mind for a few seconds, and quickly reacted.

"Is there something wrong?" she was a little impatient, not quite wanting to say anything more to the other person.

"Hey, reminiscence. The boy over there laughed, but the hearty laughter made Ai Xin extremely upset.

"I'm busy. ”

"Oops, I know you're busy. The boy was coquettish, and then continued to speak: "I heard that you have invested in a new network comprehensive." ”

"The news was pretty fast. Ai Xin sneered disdainfully, "Did the show contact you?"

"yes, isn't this just for me? The other end of the line laughed.

"Oh. Ai Xin answered, not wanting to deal with him.

"Seriously, will you be on set during the shooting?"

"It's none of your business. Ai Xin replied immediately.

"Ouch, I also said that if you come, I'll attend cheaper. ”

"......" Ai Xin was silent for a few seconds, and then opened his mouth in a suppressed voice, "How much cheaper?"

"Hahaha, you still haven't changed at all! You'll know the next time we have the chance to meet. The boy laughed and hung up.

This guy ...... Ai Xin gritted her teeth and looked at the phone screen, and threw her phone aside in annoyance.

After being busy in front of the computer for two or three hours, Ai Xin's mobile phone rang twice, and she picked it up, it was Tong Yu's WeChat.

"I'm empty next month, do you want to travel?"

It was the question she asked Tong Yu before, she hesitated, not knowing how to explain that she didn't want to travel, but wanted to fill the schedule for him.

Ye Ye's news came in a timely manner, which solved Ai Xin's worries.

"The list of artists on our side has been decided, you see if there are any problems, and we will negotiate next. ”

She glanced at the attached document, which was a form filled in with the artist's name, age, number of followers, and so on. She had heard of most of the artists in it, and after a few people who didn't know Baidu, she picked up her phone again and dialed Ye Ye's phone.

"Ah, that's the case......" Ye Ye's voice sounded a little embarrassed, but he still responded, "Then I'll negotiate his schedule." ”

"Good. Ai thought to herself, she had already inquired about Tong Yu's schedule.

"By the way, if Jinghai participates in the filming, don't you matter?" Ye Ye's voice came again, with a hint of caring tenderness.

"It doesn't matter. Ai Xin smiled and hung up the phone.

In fact, she thought very clearly during this time, she never cared about other people's opinions and comments, and those opinions on the Internet couldn't hurt her at all. And with Jinghai as a shield, his meeting with Tong Yu was much easier.

It was Ye Ye, who seemed to be a little embarrassed. She didn't bother to think about it, when she and Tao Li invested, what she wanted was the right to choose artists. Of course, Tao Li still intends to make a profit.

Ai Xin remembered that when she was a child, she had secretly fantasized about what kind of boy she would be with when she grew up. She thought that she would like Ye Ye's meticulous but occasionally gentle character, and she also thought that she would like a young boy like Junjun.

She has never considered Tong Yu to be like this, slightly older, verbetic and picky, and always the type with different hearts. But the moment Tong Yu appeared, she knew that she couldn't run away.

The alarm clock rang, Ai Xin clicked on the phone screen and entered the kitchen. The casserole on the stove was filled with an intoxicating aroma, and she tasted the sauce and was satisfied.

A few days ago, Li Man's phone call came suddenly, and she thought it was something urgent, but she didn't know until she arrived...... It's not urgent, but it's a big deal. Thinking of this, Ai Xin couldn't help but bow her head and laugh, and put the dishes in the casserole into the thermos bucket.

Tianhuan Entertainment.

It's been half a month since the last time we met, Tong Yu refreshed his phone, Ai Xin didn't update Weibo, but posted a group photo in the circle of friends.

One of the men in the photo is Tao Li, whom he remembers very well, but the other has never been seen. Come to think of it, it's normal for Ai Xin to have her own friends, but I don't know why men are always circling around her.

This guy, doesn't he have a same-sex girlfriend?

"Tong Yu. Leman pushed open the door to the lounge and walked in with a smile on his face.

"Huh?" he put away his phone and sat up from the couch, waiting for news from Leman.

"Didn't you ask me about next month's schedule a few days ago?" Li Man handed the folder in his hand to Tong Yu, turned around and sat on the swivel chair, "Don't think about it, come to work." ”

Tong Yu frowned, as if he didn't expect such an arrangement, picked up the folder in his hand and looked at it for a while, then closed it, and looked at Li Man seriously: "This is good." ”

"Well, the offer is also ideal. Li Man nodded, "You should have experience in this kind of variety show, I remember you participated in it." ”

Tong Yu recalled for a moment and nodded: "Yes, it seems to be a ...... six or seven years ago" He suddenly remembered that he was signed by the people of Tianhuan on that show.

"It's a little different this time, it's two days and one night, but it shouldn't be a big problem for you. ”

"Do your best. Tong Yu put the folder aside and recalled the last time he took the shot.

At that time, the fan who was drawn was called Yang Lili, an ordinary white-collar worker, and a fan of himself for many years, and he still had his own posters at home. He appeared to the girl in a very surprising way, spent ten hours with her, and made her a dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Originally, the show went according to this, and everything should be fine. But in a Q&A session, there was a small episode. When the host asked, "Do you want Tong Yu to fall in love", the girl's answer made Tong Yu frown.

"Of course I don't want to, because it's an idol, even if I'm in love, I hope he can hide it from us, otherwise it's too sad. Yang Lili smiled like this and said something that Tong Yu felt a little cruel.

Although it was only a few seconds of expression, I didn't expect it to be cut into the show, and the title of that episode was "Fans complain, idols change their faces".

Tong Yu understands that the show needs a shocking enough title to win exposure, but he always feels that it is a bit taken out of context. After staying up all night looking through the comments below the show, he felt that maybe he had done something wrong.

It's true that artists have their own lives. But if you choose to be a public figure and enjoy the life and resources that others can't enjoy, you should assume your own obligations. Fans did not send money directly to themselves, but their support, buying peripherals, records, chasing dramas and variety shows, etc., all turned into the income of artists. And what motivates them to do these things is the fantasy and love for idols. For them, the idol's private life can be left undisturbed, but they have the option to give up if the idol can't sustain this fantasy of theirs.

Since then, Tong Yu has decided that even if he falls in love one day, he will not announce it. For him, being supported and loved by so many people is an incomparably lucky fortune in his life.

"What do you want?" Li Man looked at him with a smile.

"It's nothing, when will the filming start?" Tong Yu came back to his senses and asked about business.

"Prepare for two weeks, the funds are in place anyway. Li Man suddenly hooked the corners of his mouth and looked at him mysteriously: "I feel that this show should have a grudge against you." ”

"What do you say?" Tong Yu raised his eyebrows, a little interested.

"There seem to be twelve episodes of this show, and the artists I know alone include Li Shengting and Jinghai ......" Li Man stopped talking and covered his mouth and laughed.

This...... Tong Yu rubbed his forehead, and had a headache: "When will Jinghai be my enemy?"

"Ouch, now you're so generous?" Li Man raised the corners of his mouth, "When there was a scandal before, who didn't go home day by day and hid in the company to brush up on hot searches?"

"Hush. Tong Yu pursed the corners of his mouth, "I just care about current affairs." ”

"The word daily, current affairs does not refer to entertainment news. Li Man couldn't help but poke at him.

"Say whatever you want. Tong Yu didn't bother to argue anymore, he just thought about it, Li Shengting and Jinghai are much more popular than him, why did the show find him again, he always felt this way in the past six months.

In addition, Li Shengting's previous festival with himself always made him unable to rest assured. I don't know why, from the first time he and Li Shengting met, he obviously felt that Li Shengting didn't like him very much. is not the kind of ordinary grabbing resources or playing big names, Li Shengting seems to be quite respectful to others, but to himself, every time he looks at him with disdain and hostility.

In addition to the previous self-lowering price to rob Tong Yu's variety show, they also cooperated once. At that time, they both had separate lounges, but Tong Yu was mistakenly taken to Li Shengting's lounge by the staff. When Ah Wei saw someone in the house, he immediately apologized and planned to quit, but Li Shengting stopped them.

"Teacher Tong, let's rest together. Li Shengting, who was wearing makeup, looked at Tong Yu provocatively: "Anyway, my room is relatively big, so I can sit down." ”

Tong Yu couldn't help but didn't fight back, just silently retreated and went to his lounge with Ah Wei and the staff. Unexpectedly, as Li Shengting said, his lounge was much smaller.

Although he didn't mind, such an obvious differential treatment still made him feel that he was not as good as before, and he paid more attention to Li Shengting. But as he made contact, he found that Li Shengting's eyes were more like ...... than hostile Eat one's heart out?

He couldn't help but secretly feel funny, Li Shengting made his debut as a trainee, and he was only 23 years old this year, but he had tens of millions of fans. Advertising endorsements, variety shows, and singles are even more popular, so it is impossible to be jealous of an outdated old idol. Tong Yu felt that he was probably thinking too much.

"I bought today's ticket for my aunt, and I'll deliver it in the evening?" Li Man glanced at his phone and remembered it. I don't know why, she always feels that Tong Yu has been absent-minded since she watched the information of the show.

"Let's go together. Tong Yu thought about it and didn't have any arrangements for the evening, and wanted to spend more time with Liu Yarong.

"Hmm. Li Man laughed, she was still thinking about how to talk to Tong Yu about this, so she didn't have to worry about it now.

At six o'clock, the car was stuck in a traffic jam, Li Man looked at his mobile phone, and sure enough, it was the right choice to go out early.

"Oh, I said I don't need to send it, you see this traffic jam. Liu Yarong looked at Li Man and Tong Yu with some apologies, "Delay the two of you too much." ”

"Delaying something. Tong Yu frowned and pretended to look at Liu Yarong angrily: "I can't stay with you for a while?"

Li Man smiled and looked at Liu Yarong soothingly: "It's okay aunt, we didn't have an arrangement for the night." ”

Liu Yarong nodded, the expression on her face softened a little, she stopped talking, and looked at Tong Yu who was in a daze outside the window.

finally drove to the airport, Uncle Qiang put down Li Man and Liu Yarong at the door of the terminal, continued to start the car, and drove to the parking lot with Tong Yu in the car.

It wasn't until Liu Yarong got out of the car that Tong Yu noticed that she seemed to have an extra cloth bag in her hand than when she came.

Probably a specialty that Li Man bought, he didn't think much about it, closed his eyes and rested.

"Xiao Man, I'll just go in by myself. After changing the boarding pass, Liu Yarong looked at her watch, it was almost eight o'clock.

"It's fine. Li Man smiled and sat next to Liu Yarong, "I'll sit with you for a while." ”

"Hmm. Liu Yarong nodded, was silent for a while, and then spoke again, "That girl, how long have you known Xiaoyu?"

Mother and son...... Li Man couldn't help but think of Tong Yu, who was also like this, knowing Ai Xin's name but refusing to call it, as if he had to pretend that he didn't care.

"More than three months. Li Man recalled that Tong Yu's birthday party should be the first time the two of them met.

"Oh, it's not long ......" Liu Yarong replied, lowering her head and not knowing what she was thinking.

"What do you think, what about that girl?"

"I? I think it's okay. Li Man thought for a while, "I can't say clearly, but I should be sincere to Tong Yu." ”

"That's okay......" Liu Yarong muttered in a low voice, and then looked at Li Man again: "Xiaoman, Auntie can't come often, Xiaoyu ...... You'll have to help Auntie watch more. ”

"Don't worry. Li Man nodded seriously and glanced at the time, "I'll send you in." ”

"No, you go back first, I'm going to get something to eat. Liu Yarong waved her hand.

"Alright then, then you must remember to call me when you go in. Li Man said one more word before getting up to leave. Liu Yarong is old, not to mention WeChat, and the SMS function will not be used, and it is most convenient for her to call.

"Got it!" Liu Yarong replied with a smile, and when Li Man walked away, he slowly opened the cloth bag in his hand.

There was a thermos pot inside, Liu Yarong did not open it, but rummaged in the cloth bag for a while and took out an envelope. The envelope seemed to be a little thick, Liu Yarong touched it, took out the letter paper from it, and read it slowly and leisurely.
