654, there is no way
In the conversation with Su Rui and Yang Ji Jingru, Li Xiang felt that they had a lot of opinions about Jiao Andong.
At noon, they had dinner together at the hotel and met Lu Xue, the agent of Su Rui and others. Lu Xue didn't expect to meet Li Xiang here, and there were Su Rui and Yang Ji Jingru by her side, so she was very surprised.
Li wanted to greet her and invite her to dinner. Lu Xue hesitated for a moment and did not refuse.
Although Su Rui and Yang Ji Jingru didn't say anything, Li Xiang could see that they also had a lot of opinions about Lu Xue, and they seemed to be just nodding their heads and making friends when they met each other. The relationship between the artist and the agent has become like this, which means that the problem is big and it will not be able to go on.
However, Midsummer Lightyear has come to this point, and Lu Xue is the most responsible. Whether it is Su Rui or Yang Ji Jingru, among the many reasons they just mentioned, the most important one is that their careers have not improved, and they have been standing still for a year. As their agent, Lu Xue has been unable to give the artist corresponding resources and support the artist's career to go up, which is incompetent.
"Why didn't you see the hours?" Li Xiang asked Lu Xue.
Lu Xue told him that he was not in Yancheng and went to Yuezhou, and he didn't say anything. As for Jiao Andong, he went to Xiangjiang.
After lunch, Li Xiang and Lu Xue went to the hotel tea room to sit down, Su Rui and Yang Ji Jingru knew that they had something to talk about, so they left first.
As soon as she sat down, Lu Xue took the initiative to tell Li Xiang that there was a problem with the Midsummer Lightyear group, but she didn't say anything about disbanding.
In Lu Xue's description, the personalities of the four people in Midsummer Lightyear are too different, and they still haven't blended together after a year of running-in.
She believes that the main problem is the character of the four people, not the lack of improvement in their careers.
Li wanted to listen more and talk less, and in the end, Lu Xue asked him if he could write a song for the group. If there is a good song, this group may be able to run together.
Li Xiang didn't agree or refuse, thinking that Lu Xue was completely ill and rushed to the doctor, and she hadn't figured out the situation yet, no wonder even a person with a good personality like Su Rui didn't want to see her, indeed, she didn't have that ability.
After separating from Lu Xue, Li Xiang found Su Rui and Yang Ji Jingru again, chatted with them for a while, left Yancheng, and returned to Yuezhou.
As soon as I arrived in Yuezhou, I suddenly received a call from Jiao Andong, asking if he was in Yuezhou, he was also there, and he would come out to talk if he was free.
Li Xiang thought that it was Su Rui or Yang Ji Jingru who told Jiao Andong that he went to find them today, but after seeing Jiao Andong in the cafΓ©, he realized that it was not.
"You were on a cruise ship in Victoria Harbour last night. Jiao Andong's first sentence made Li Xiang stunned.
"I see you, I guess it's you. Jiao Andong had a wry smile on his face.
Li Xiang thought that he had hidden it well last night, but he didn't expect it to be seen by him. Before he came, he was still thinking about showing his acting skills, trying to make himself as casual as possible, and not thinking about last night's events in his mind, otherwise he would be too awkward.
Seeing Li Xiang nodding, Jiao Andong did not show any embarrassment on his face, but seemed to be relieved, breathed a deep sigh of relief, and said, "You must have seen it, you won't be naΓ―ve to think that I have a simple relationship with that woman." β
Is this to take the initiative to admit it? Li Xiang thought to himself, I didn't ask ah, you can not say it at all, as long as you don't say it, I will try not to think like this, but now listening to Jiao Anton's words, it is obviously the same as what he doesn't want.
"You must be spitting on me. Jiao Andong said.
Li Xiang didn't know how to answer, saying that he would spurn, for fear of hurting his self-esteem, and that he would not spurn, it would be too fake.
Li Xiang asked: "I guess there must be unspeakable hardships, if it's convenient, tell me about it." β
"Then listen to my story. In fact, I took the initiative to come to you today, just to find someone to talk to, otherwise I'm afraid I'm going crazy. β
Li Xiang picked up the small spoon and stirred the coffee in front of him, took it and took a sip gently, and said, "I just want to hear it." β
It seems that Jiao Andong didn't happen to be in Yuezhou, but found him last night, knew that he was in Yuezhou, and rushed over today.
The bright sunlight fell through the window and shone on the dining table, just separating Li Xiang and Jiao Andong, who were sitting opposite each other. Because of the light, in Li Xiang's eyes, Jiao Andong seemed to be sitting in a thick layer of darkness, and he couldn't see his face clearly.
He paused for a long time before he spoke: "My family is from Yancheng, my parents are in business, open factories to do foreign trade, at the peak, there are 10 factories in Yancheng and Dongguan, making all kinds of things, lace, electronics, furniture...... I made a lot of money when I was very young, and I can say that I grew up with a golden key in my mouth. We stayed in a villa by the sea with two large garages full of all kinds of luxury cars......"
"My childhood was also different from other children, the only thing we had in common was studying in the same school. When we leave the school, we will no longer have an intersection, and the occasions for entering and leaving are completely different. Like last night's Victoria cruise, I used to play there a lot when I was 8 years old and knew a lot of people there. The woman I was with last night, I met her when I was 14 years old, she was my mother's business partner at that time, I called her second mother......"
Li wanted to listen as usual with a straight face and interject less.
Jiao Andong leaned back in his chair, in the shadows, laughed, and said, "Don't you feel disgusting?" Actually, she is very good, but she is old, lacks exercise all year round, and has a lot of fat and greasy on her body, which is quite disgusting......
"Can I smoke?" Jiao Anton suddenly asked.
Li Xiang didn't say anything about singing and not smoking: "You can do whatever you want." β
Da~~ Jiao Andong skillfully lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and spit it out, and the smoke drifted in the brilliant light and shadow. A smell of smoke hit the tip of Li Xiang's nose, and he leaned back in his chair, trying to distance himself as much as possible, although it didn't help.
"Damn, I also like young and beautiful girls, who the wants to sleep with an old woman next to me, but this is what I asked for, I took the initiative to find her. Speaking of which, I would like to thank her, without her help, I may not have been as a person, I hate the stench of the soul more than the ugliness of my appearance, so from this point of view, I can accept her......"
β...... I used to firmly believe that in this life, I will have no worries about food and clothing, live the life I want to live, spend a lot of money, talk about a lot of beautiful girlfriends, drive a sports car, travel everywhere, do not be a traitor, do my duty, feel at ease to be a rich second generation, enjoy life, but, fate caught people off guard, my family went bankrupt in the second year of high school, bankrupt, and owed a lot of money. Not only that, but my parents also committed economic crimes, ran away, and went abroad, and I don't know where they are. I didn't know when they left. When I came back from school, I found that there were a lot of people sitting in the house, five big and three thick, and I didn't know any of them, and they told me that my parents had run away, leaving me as a son to face these debt collectors. I was almost not killed by them, but the police came. The police didn't come to help me, they took me away and asked me to confess the whereabouts of my parents and clues to the crime......"
"Hey, Mom and Dad, I hated them at the time, scolded them day and night, and later, it wasn't until three years ago that I received the first phone call from them, telling them about the situation and asking for my understanding. I understand a fart! I understand that I can face these things with peace of mind, and I can make 17-year-old people face this? I'm just a rich second generation who has been stretching out my hands and opening my mouth since I was a child, and I don't have any ability, I can only spend money, and now that the money is gone, let me make money to pay off my debts......
Jiao Anton scolded a lot, finally calmed down, and said dejectedly: "Forget it, I don't hate it anymore, what's the use, the hardest days have passed, and now it's just to block yourself by thinking too much, it's not worth it." β
"They called me that one, and now I still don't know where they are, and probably where they died...... Who knows, there was no contact after that anyway...... It could really be dead......"
β...... Do you know what it's like to go from a rich second generation to a poor one?"
β...... The creditors took everything I could from my house, left me nothing, and often threatened me to give up where my parents were, or they would kill me. At first, I was scared half to death, I hid at home every day and didn't dare to go out, I ate noodles when I was hungry, I ran out of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar and I didn't have money to buy them, and I could swallow boiled noodles. Later, the noodles were gone, and the water and electricity at home were cut off, so I thought, is this still a human life, if you want to die, it's better to be beaten to death than suffocated, and a month later, I walked out of the house for the first time......"
β...... The only benefit of becoming poor overnight is that it automatically helps you purify your relationships. Since my family was down, there have been no poor relatives and fox friends who have come to ask for help, and accordingly, I don't expect them to help me, everything has to be on my own. I was desperate, penniless, picked up rags and was seen by my classmates at school, and the next day the whole school knew about it, and the girlfriend I talked about wanted to draw a line with me. Damn, I gave her so many expensive gifts, and I went to her and asked her to give me something, relief, and this slut called someone and beat me up......"
"I just found my second mother at that time, there is no way~~ I just 17 years old and I owe more than 200 million to others! My parents' debts are on my head, and I was really worried about being pulled by them to sell my organs during that time. β
......
At first, Jiao Anton seemed to be telling someone else's story, his tone was calm, and he occasionally burst into foul language, but then he couldn't help it, his voice became deeper and lower, and when he met a bad person, he scolded and scolded, and spit out a lot of ugly words.
"You may already know, the Midsummer Lightyear group is going to disband, in fact, it is a matter of time before Lu Xue and Miya Entertainment can't do it, don't give us promotion, don't give us resources, let us find channels ourselves, if I have a channel, I still need them? β
"Last year, in order to participate in "Today's Star", I broke up with my second mother and took a break for half a year, but this summer I found her again, there is no way, I can't make money singing like this, and my debts have not been paid off...... You must be thinking, why don't you find a nice rich woman? You should also realize that when participating in various activities, those rich women look at us like we look at little girls. There are a lot of good-looking ones who are better looking than my second mother, but they don't spit out bones one by one, don't think there's any difference between a rich woman and a greasy middle-aged man, the claws that come out are all salty pig hands, one is more disgusting than the other, and it's ...... dead."
Finally finished, Li Xiang listened to so much that it was difficult to digest all of a sudden, and he opened his mouth to say something, but he found that his throat was dry, and he took the cold coffee and moistened his throat, but he felt thirstier and drier.
Among the words that Jiao Andong said, the most common sentence was "There is no way". Li Xiang wanted to tell him that there were more ways than difficulties, but when the words came to his lips, he held back again, and he said it too lightly. He is not Jiao Anton, and he can't personally understand his feelings, a young man who is only a sophomore in high school has to bear the huge pressure of family defeat and huge debts, and no one can experience that feeling except himself. In comparison, he and Li Dan were too happy when they were students.
Li Xiang asked dryly, "If you don't sing, then what are you going to do?"
"Learn business with my second mother. β
β...... Is that good?"
"It's the best choice for me, a person like me, who has been in the entertainment industry for a long time, may be thunderous one day. Rather than being ruined and spurned by others, it is better to retreat bravely and leave a better impression on everyone. Besides, singing doesn't make fucking money, I sing just for money, what else can I sing if I can't make money. β
Li Xiang: "......"
"You can pay off your debts by doing business with your second mother?"
Jiao Andong said with a smile: "My second mother is old, with all kinds of physical problems, bad heart, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol...... I don't know when I'm going to burp, but if I try my best, I might be able to inherit some inheritance...... Haha, just kidding. β
Li Xiang didn't think he was joking.
Jiao Andong continued: "I know, you actually don't think much of me, you never gave me a song when I invited you, you prefer good children like Su Rui and Yang Ji Jingru." But people are so cheap, I don't look down on others, so I value you, and I say these words to you today, not to reverse your impression of me, but to find someone to talk about, hold back in your heart and feel uncomfortable, you should go back to the tree hole. β
He took the cigarette from his mouth, took the bitter coffee that had not been put in the sugar in front of him, drank it in one gulp, got up and said, "Okay, I'm leaving, this should be the last time we chat, and it will be difficult to see each other in the future." β
He spread his hands and said with a smile: "Now I announce that Midsummer Lightyear will be disbanded on the spot, help me apologize to Su Rui and them." β
"It's like a dream. β
After Jiao Andong finished speaking, he had a cigarette in his mouth and left without looking back. When a waiter saw him smoking, he stepped forward to remind him that he flicked the cigarette butt and flew it in the hall, pushed open the glass door of the cafΓ©, and disappeared into the crowd.
