Chapter 36 Ups and Downs 2

At the window, a cold back stood at the window, dressed in a well-cut A

ma

i black suit, perfect to set off his slender and straight figure, the neckline of the white shirt is slightly open, the black watch on his left hand is shiny, a touch of silver chain leaks from the neckline, his deep eyes are as deep as the stars in the night, with a gold-rimmed glasses, his face is delicate and handsome, his facial features are distinct, and his thin lips under his nose are tightly pursed, and there is a sound of footsteps behind him, he turned around, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

"How, are you still used to it?".

"Well, there's no habit or not, anyway, with you, I've relaxed a lot, and I've worked hard for you in the past two years. ”

"What is this hard work, it is the money you invested, the relationships and connections you contacted, if you want to say that I am hard, it is only a few times that I drank too much and lost a few people. ”。

"In the future, we are together. ”

"Boss,,, welcome you back. ”

"Fangzi, thank you. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, falling into silence, in these 20-story high-rise buildings, the empty office, simple and luxurious, but it was cold and abnormal, Fang Yi lit a cigarette, handed it to Cheng Zimu, lit it for him, the smoke rose, reflecting the mottled faces of the two.

Yes, the person who appeared here was Cheng Zimu, Fang Yi, three days ago, Fang Yi received Cheng Zimu at the airport, for his return, Cheng Zimu's explanation was to retire, because of the loss of eyesight caused by the past, and the body did not recover for a long time because of the injury, he applied for retirement, gave up changing jobs and politics, and chose to return to BJ to engage in business, and as early as two years ago, he gave Fang Yi a ratio of funds, registered today's investment and trading company, has been managed by a professional team and Fang Yi, before Fang Yi appeared in a network company is also to discuss cooperation, and now Fang Cheng Company has long been a leader in the industry, but no one knows, these two years, It turned out to be in the hands of such a young college student and a young man far away in the army, Cheng Zimu can't have a side business because of his identity, but the largest shareholder of this company is him, even if he doesn't come forward, someone will take care of it for him, so as soon as he came back, he directly became the top president, and he insisted on the company's name in front, he said that he owed Fang Yi, and Fang Yi, with gratitude, followed him with all his heart, step by step, and worked hard to achieve today's achievements.

Two former teenagers, from youth, to today's brothers side by side, each of them, have experienced an unforgettable past, now they are mature, began to circle in the mall, experienced deceit, wits and courage, but, behind the success, but only they look at each other, in the tobacco each miss their own unique.

From that year to now, between seven years, time has blown away the years that can never come back, experienced freedom, growth, loss, separation, the smoke in Cheng Zimu's hands burned out, squinting and leaning on the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the underneath, the neon lights shining, the endless flow of people and vehicles, how many years, I haven't seen the night scene of BJ, it is still prosperous, still in a hurry, in this city where he sings every night, he remembered the empty and lonely late night in the army, at that time, relying on the thought of Xiaoli to survive step by step, until finally, she finally let go of the past and was willing to come to see herself, but when he was most helpless and rekindled hope, he turned around and left, In those blind years, he hoped again and again, and was disappointed again and again, she never showed up until he recovered, but in exchange for the fact that she and Yang Minglang were together.

Xiaoli, do you know that on the day I entered the military academy, I asked Yang Minglang to take care of you for me, because he was the only one who was mature enough, but I didn't expect that one day, you left me and turned around and threw yourself into his arms.

Xiaoli, now that I'm back, in addition to the residual guilt for you, there is also a trace of sadness, why, you forgot me so easily, and you, but you chose my brother, to be with him, these years, I am not by your side, how much have I missed your life, your joys and sorrows, perhaps, you never thought of one day to return to me but, I can't be like you, I don't want to give up my faith, but now, I also know that between us, there is no possibility.

When Xiaoli saw Xing Mo again, it was at a magazine shooting site, it was obviously autumn, but she was wearing a thin skirt, a bandeau dress, exaggerated burgundy curls were blown by a blower, wearing smoky makeup, red lips like fire, twisting her slender waist and posing in various poses, in the depths of her eyes, there was no trace of innocence and light, with deep charm and confidence, completely, different from before.

There is a cocktail party tonight, which is an investment dinner for a new film and television drama opened by Xinghai Entertainment Company, this is Xing Mo's first movie, although it is the second female lead, but it is a big production, so the company attaches great importance to it, and the female number one is another company's first-line big name Sun Zihan, and the male protagonist is the male star Xin Wenao, who has become popular in the past two years.

It was six o'clock in the evening when the magazine shooting was completed, and in this long afternoon, Xiaoli squatted in the corner and watched her laugh freely with everyone, and the confidence and arrogance between her eyebrows and eyes made her faintly distressed.

The itinerary is in a hurry, and there are several artists from the same company who are traveling with her, Xiaoli is a public relations assistant, but there is nothing to do at the moment, everything she has, there are assistants, costume artists and makeup artists to help sort it out, and Xiaoli can only help pack things on the side stupidly, and move them to the car one by one.

Xing Mo finally got in the car, and the public relations manager Wang Fei immediately greeted him with a smile and handed over a cup of yogurt, "Xiao Ran, drink a cup of yogurt first, it's not easy to feel uncomfortable." Xing Ran took it, drank it into his mouth, and ignored him, looking tired.

Xiao Li sat in the corner of the last row of the nanny car, watching that she had changed into a single room evening dress that was the most popular this year, her curly hair was somehow straightened, draped vertically over her shoulders, and a beautiful jewel necklace around her neck.

was caught by Wang Fei coldly, and sat next to her face to face, "This is your new public relations assistant, she will follow you at any banquet and dinner in the future, public relations for you, and block the wine, so you don't have to drink so uncomfortable by yourself, her name is Zhang Xiaoli, Xiaoli, hurry up and say hello." ”

Xiao Li held back his tears and squeezed out a smile, and stretched out his hand, "Xing Ran, hello, in the future, I will work hard, please advise." ”

Xiao Li's eyes were filled with tears and looked at the now delicate and beautiful Xing Mo without blinking, looking at the consternation in her eyes, and then turned into indifference, and then disdain, she sneered and clenched her hand, "Hello, new ,,, assistant, I will take good care of you." ”

She gritted her teeth, the new assistant three words, almost all her strength.

got out of the car, Xing Mo pushed away Xiaoli's hand that he wanted to support without leaving a trace, and then immediately stretched out his hand with a smile, a pair of big hands took it, and smiled softly at her, Xiaoli got out of the car with something, she was forced by Wang Fei to go to the mall to buy a small dress, black lace, when she saw the price, the tears of Xiao Li's pain were about to stay, and then I heard Wang Fei say that the company would report half of the price before I couldn't bear to buy it, wearing white fish-toe shoes, the five-centimeter heel height had made her shake a little, looked up, and saw Chen Yan holding Xing Mo with a stunned face, wearing a black tuxedo, standing with Xing Mo, like a prince and princess in a fairy tale, facing Chen Yan's complicated eyes, Xiao Li turned his head a little weakly, followed Wang Fei and walked inside, passing by Chen Yan's side, Xiao Li heard his very low voice, "Zhang Xiaoli, you are really bold, however, I advise you, if you don't want to be embarrassed for a while, leave quickly." ”

Xiao Li stabilized his voice, "I'm here to work today, Chen Yan, you'd better not disturb me." ”

The two passed by, and when their eyes met, lightning collided.

Walking into the hall, there are glamorous figures everywhere, Xiaoli has seen many stars that can only be seen on TV, she followed behind Wang Fei, watching him accompany Xing Mo to say hello everywhere, Xiaoli only then knew that this banquet was held by Chen Yan, and now he is already the president of a film and television company, and what she doesn't know is that Xinghai Entertainment Company also has his shares, and the female number one of this drama is the first-line artist of his company.

"Xiaoli, do you have to remember the people who greeted you just now, don't call the wrong name for the private dinner later, they all drink well, can you?"

"Brother Fei, don't worry, my alcohol consumption is good now, it's okay, it's on me. Xiaoli patted his chest and promised.

Fei Ge nodded with satisfaction, and walked in with her, along the way, Xiao Li remembered that he was sitting alone in a private room in the hotel, ordered five bottles of liquor, drank one cup after another, and then kept spitting it out, and so on, kept practicing, for half a month, went to the hospital and ran countless times, vomiting as if he could never vomit anything again in his life, but he miraculously learned to drink, and the amount of alcohol was amazing.

"What the hell are you going to do, why are you here, Zhang Xiaoli, I warned you, don't bother her!" Xiao Li saw Xing Mo leaving, and just as he was about to follow, he was dragged to the corner of the corridor by Chen Yan, who locked her against the wall and looked at her with anger on his face.

Xiaoli broke free, but he didn't succeed, and looked up at him, "Chen Yan, I am now Xing Mo's assistant, I am just doing my job, and I want to protect her more than you, I will not hurt her, for Momo, I know her better than you, even if it is you, there is no qualification to stop me from wanting to make up for her, accompany her, I am her good friend, from childhood to adulthood, I am protecting her, this point, whether before, now, or in the future, will not change." ”。

"Protect her, Xiaoli, don't forget, it was you who pushed her to this point, I am not qualified, but you are even less qualified. ”

"Chen Yan, Momo is not suitable for her to stay in this circle, but all this has happened, this is the path she chose, you know this is a chaotic and complicated place, although she is confident and successful now, but she is still her, she needs someone to protect her, even if you are capable, can you always be by her side, can you block all the entertainment for her when she is forced to eat and drink with her partners, you can't, and now, my identity, I can, Mr. Chen, just now, when you blocked the wine for Sun Zihan, Momo's wine was drunk by herself, I don't need to promise you or promise you anything, because, I am not qualified, and you are even less qualified, If you want to stop me, then when you become Momo's boyfriend who confesses in front of the public, stop me again, before that, I just want to use my own ability to accompany her, that's it. ”

Xiao Li pushed him away, stepped on high heels, and left step by step, Chen Yan leaned against the wall, looked at Xing Mo who was talking and laughing at the end of the corridor, and looked at Xiao Li, who was stubborn at the back, and there was infinite turbulence in his heart, but he could only look at them and stay put.

Xing Mo avoided contact and dialogue with Xiaoli all night, her rejection of Xiaoli was clear in her heart, but she couldn't say anything except smile, until she followed her into the private room, the bosses who had greeted her just now were there, in addition to them, Chen Yan and Sun Zihan were also there, and there was a middle-aged man with a full beard, with a serious face, Sun Zihan was toasting him with a wine glass, shouting Gao Dao.

Wang Fei didn't follow, he was not only responsible for Xing Mo as an artist, so he needed to recruit a public relations assistant, at this moment, he was still outside, greeting guests at another table, Xiao Li opened the stool in front of the table for Xing Mo, took the bag she handed over, and sat aside, Chen Yan looked at the two of them opposite, his eyes were gloomy, Xiao Li looked at the four empty seats on the table, and thought to himself that it seemed that people had not come yet.

Mr. Zhao, one of the people who had greeted him just now, stood up, raised his wine glass with a smile, and looked at Chen Yan, "Mr. Chen, you said that you introduced two friends to us today, but now they haven't arrived yet, this late wine will punish you first." ”

"Mr. Zhao, forgive me, I was stuck on the road by phone just now, you also know that the traffic in BJ is more crowded than his mother's temple fair, so take care of it, I will drink this glass of wine for my brother. ”

"Mr. Chen's words are polite, come, I'll accompany you for a drink, my uncompetitive son didn't come, I have to wait for my girlfriend to come over from work, I'm angry, but I'm satisfied with that kid's vision, I'll see you later, and I'll check it too." Another middle-aged man stood up, Mr. Cheng.

Chen Yan stood up, "Don't be restrained today, just treat it as an ordinary dinner, for our new movie, let's get together and talk about future cooperation, our two heroines are here, let's have a drink first, and then wait for them." ”

Xiao Li stood up a little flustered, wanting to drink for Xing Mo, but was glared at by her, and was a little embarrassed to be stunned, watching her smile and raise a glass with everyone.

After a tour, Xing Mo's face began to flush, but the senior director was interested, pulling Sun Zihan and Xing Mo to talk about the play, drinking while talking, and the few people next to him seemed to be accustomed to it, each talking about their own investment, Xiaoli stood beside Xing Mo, sweating anxiously, but she pushed herself aside, drinking and laughing while drinking.

Even Chen Yan was stopped by her eyes several times, until the knock on the door sounded, Xiaoli subconsciously turned around, but found that Cheng Fei walked in with Qu Qing in tow, and bowed his head to Mr. Cheng, "Dad, we are here, Mr. Chen, sorry, traffic jam." ”

Cheng Fei made amends to several other people and drank, Qu Qing stood beside her, her eyes swept over herself, and she looked at Xing Mo again, Xing Mo is now a star She knows, but Xiaoli doesn't let her bother Xing Mo, so she silently pays attention to support, but she didn't expect that she would meet at the dinner today, and what surprised her even more was that Xiaoli was also there?!

Cheng Fei was also stunned when he saw Xiao Li, and did not greet her in her pleading eyes, Qu Qing looked at her with blaming eyes, and Xiao Li dodged in a panic until Cheng Fei pulled her to sit down.

"Mo ,,, Xing Ran, long time no see, you're okay. Qu Qing sat down, staring at Xing Mo with her eyes, almost leaking her mouth.

"What, you know?Xiaoqing, I haven't heard you mention it before. Cheng Feide's father asked.

"Well, uncle, Xing Ran and I used to be classmates, and we haven't seen each other for many years, but I didn't expect to meet here today. ”

"Oh, that's really fate, Xiaoqing, you're not a simple classmate, our Gao Director, a hand-picked actor. Mr. Cheng said with a smile.

"Long time no see, classmate Qu Qing, it turns out that you are Cheng Shao's girlfriend, what a coincidence. Xing Mo raised his head and looked at Qu Qing calmly.

Xiao Li sat aside and smiled bitterly, BJ is really an evil place, she hasn't even considered this kind of thing, the surname is Cheng, his father is Mr. Cheng, it's really coincidental.

Sun Zihan opened his mouth to break the conversation here, and pulled Chen Yan to toast Gao Dao with him, the atmosphere in the banquet began to be warm, Sun Zihan joked, "Gao Dao, you want to make me look better, I, I admire you the most, your movies, but I have won many awards every year!"

Gao Dao was dazed, smiling and touching Sun Zihan's hand, while Chen Yan on the side was indifferent, Xing Mo stood up and walked in front of Gao Dao with a smile.

"Sister Sun, I want you to take good care of me in the future, I am a newcomer, you have to teach me more. ”

Sun Zihan also raised his glass with a kind smile, "Xiao Ran, you are in the limelight, maybe in the future, I will borrow your east wind, come, let's respect Gao Dao together." ”

Xing Mo nodded and smiled, raised her head for another glass, Xiao Liteng stood up and took her wine glass, "I'm sorry, Xiao Ran has a little too much tonight, there is still shooting at two o'clock in the morning, and I will drink the next wine for her." ”

Xiaoli dragged Xing Mo, who looked drunk, to sit down, filled three glasses of wine, and raised his glass boldly, "I'll compensate you for my Xiao Ran first, don't you, do it first as a respect." After speaking, he raised his head, and after three glasses of white wine, his face was still the same.

Originally, Director Gao was a little drunk, and he didn't care who was toasting, but seeing Xiao Li so bold, he immediately became interested, "Little girl, the amount of wine is good, come on, come on, drink a few glasses with me, Xiao Ran's role, I will give her good guidance." ”

Xiao Li smiled, came to his side, and filled another glass, "Then thank you Gao Dao, my Xiao Ran also admires you very much, I hope you will guide you well." After speaking, he drank another cup in one go, Qu Qing on the side was shocked, Chen Yan frowned, this way of drinking is too wild.

Just when Xiaoli and Gao Dao were having fun, there were two people standing at the door, but at this moment, Xiaoli didn't pay attention, although Qu Qing tried her best to give her a look, but she didn't see it.

Cheng Zimu looked at Xiao Li in front of him with sharp eyes, until he quietly walked into the room, Chen Yan smiled and introduced him to a few people, it turned out that he was the largest shareholder of this film and television drama investment, so a few people would always wait for him, Xing Mo looked at Cheng Zimu, and his heart was still inexplicably nervous, now he is no longer the young prince in his memory, his fair skin is a little bronzed, his hair is all combed back without a trace of mess, he is dressed in a white suit, his figure is slender and straight, the depths of his eyes are an abyss that can no longer be seen, a tall nose with a gold wire glasses, the whole person is handsome and handsome, but with an aura and majesty that cannot be ignored。

She knew that there was still only Xiao Li in his eyes at the moment, but that girl was stupid and didn't know, alone, calmly waving a wine glass, glass after glass, Xing Mo suddenly smiled secretly, it turned out that it was not only herself, when did Xiao Li drink so much, Qu Qing was actually Cheng Shao's girlfriend, and today, she looked at Fang Yi sitting next to Cheng Zimu, the world is so small, they will meet again in this kind of place, under such circumstances, but they are each other, beyond recognition.

Qu Qing lowered his head as much as possible, not looking at Fang Yi's eyes, he remembered that when he graduated, his eyes were full of sadness, but today, after two months of not seeing, he was wearing a suit, looking mature and steady, his eyes were shining with boundless streamers, but he became more and more silent. Fang Yi was tightly held by Cheng Zimu, suppressing the emotions in his heart, watching Qu Qing bow his head and about to bury Cheng Fei's arms, in addition to pain in his heart, there was boundless anger, he couldn't bear to disturb Qu Qing, so he could only sprinkle his anger on Cheng Fei and pull him to drink non-stop.

Xiao Li returned to her seat with some unsteady steps, but she couldn't see a flaw on her face, her drinking volume was practiced, but she couldn't stand such an uninterrupted cup of glass, but she also knew in her heart that she was happy to drink Gao Dao, and Momo was better after entering the group, and returned to her place with the wine glass, her eyes were a little dilated, but her pupils suddenly tightened, and she looked at the face opposite.

Cheng Zimu: Why is he here, when did he come in? Is he the person who was waiting just now, why, is he also involved in this film and television drama? No, isn't he in the army? But why is he sitting here in a suit, and Fang Yi, why is Cheng Fei on the bar, all of a sudden, all the wine woke up, and the whole body was cold, she looked at Chen Yan, but found that he was also looking at herself, his eyes were unpredictable.

Cheng Zimu and her eyes met, looking at the coldness and distress in his eyes, there was suddenly a trace of sourness in the little centrifuge, if it was before, she would definitely fall drunk in his arms, coquettish, bullying him, but now, he is there, still full of distress, or that familiar face, and he can no longer walk in front of him.

Cheng Zimu never thought that the tomboy in his memory, even if he suffered such a big sadness, he was still indifferent and stubborn, and now he was wearing a sexy black dress, stepping on high heels, drinking so much liquor in one breath but still being able to talk and laugh freely, as if he remembered that she was drunk after drinking three glasses of fruit wine, he wanted to take her into his arms and peel a sweet candy for her, but he could only look at her and remind himself that now, she is his brother's girlfriend.

Chen Yan sat there, and suddenly felt that he was like an outsider, the five of them, their eyes met, and turned away, as if a pantomime, Xing Mo looked at Cheng Zimu, Cheng Zimu looked at Xiao Li, Xiao Li looked at himself, Qu Qing was sandwiched between Fang Yi and Cheng Fei, his eyes were flustered, only him, looking at them, imagining their appearance in memory, their stories, and then looking at the changes now, the vicissitudes of life, are not enough to describe their things and people.
