Chapter 56: A Sense of Ritual
There's another reason why Beauty One's Gemini Tower is considered a landmark of the Central Business District: on its top floor is the famous nightclub "Cruel" in Beijing. And tonight's opening party of "Making Gods" will be held here.
"May, do I look good in this?" Grandma Tong scratched her head in the mirror in Cruel's bathroom as she reaped my compliment.
"Good-looking! Good-looking! Sister Sitong, you are as beautiful today as the moon in the sky, and the lotus flower in the water should not be owned by the world!" I said and posed with a pompous gesture of Chang'e running to the moon.
"Why do you call me Sitong?" Grandma Tong was suddenly called by her real name, and she was not very comfortable.
"On this occasion today, do you want me to call you 'Tianshan Tong Grandma'? Then others really think that you are actually seventy or eighty years old!"
Grandma Tong smiled at herself in the mirror with a satisfied smile, "That's right! You're right! I have to pay extra attention to my image today, maybe I ran into a former acquaintance!"
I know that Grandma Tong is not talking nonsense, although she has failed to become famous in the entertainment industry, but with her deeds of preferring to die rather than a well-known director, and her appearance conditions that have been widely recognized, there are not many people in the entertainment industry who know her.
Every night club that can stand up has its own unique style, and Cruel walks the retro Tang style that is relatively rare in night clubs. It is said that when Cruel opened that year, in order to pursue the visual effect, he specially ordered the same pavilion and rockery of the Lion Garden from Suzhou to be placed at the entrance position. Even the candles in the few red lanterns at the door are specially ordered from the old workshop in Suzhou. The interior is separated by a variety of different styles and colors of giant fans standing on the ground, which create a mysterious and ambiguous atmosphere under the dim lighting.
Grandma Tong and I came out of the bathroom and shuttled through the crowd, observing the environment and looking for targets.
In the partitioned booth, the lotus root carving is transformed into a seat, and the agate-like marble is built into three staggered shapes. Coupled with the outdoor wooden fence water pavilion in the outfield, it makes people feel like they are dreaming of returning to Datang under the starry sky on the dim top floor.
But an illusion is an illusion after all, and if you look around carefully, you will be in a goof. In the open-air outfield, groups of handsome men and women seem to be completely unafraid of the cold of early autumn, in line with the principle of "others show two pounds, I have to show three and a half pounds", one by one can wear less or less. Even if Datang opens up again, it is estimated that it will not be able to accept the current scene.
"That's Wu Xin!" Grandma Tong and Wu Xin had drunk wine, so they naturally recognized each other. But Wu Xin was surrounded by several beauties at this time, and he couldn't even look at the side face.
"It should be", I really don't have a good impression of this man, "He is quite chic, he gives his wife's company directly to his lover, and he is not afraid of being killed by his wife!" Xie Yuhan was the editor-in-chief and actual controller of "Beauty One" before the accident, and the control of the Beauty One shares she held after the accident fell into the hands of her husband Wu Xin. With Wu Xin's worth, he naturally can't look down on this money, but for ordinary people, the career left by his wife should be cherished! But Wu Xin is not! Not only did he not cherish it, but he also gave Beauty One to his new lover Wang Yanfei with his backhand.
Wang Yanfei also did not refuse, and after gladly accepting the shares, he strongly demanded that the shareholders elect him as the acting CEO, intending to show his strength in "Beauty One". "The Creation of Gods" is the first heavyweight work she launched after taking over the company: by inviting professional star agents to select targets from passers-by, select ordinary people who have the potential to become stars, and send them invitations to participate in the "Creation of Gods" competition, and the top three can have a formal debut opportunity. This show has received strong support from Beauty One since it was proposed by Wang Yanfei, saying that it can promote the rapid transformation of Beauty One from paper media to online media, and at the same time cater to the current public's aesthetic needs for variety shows.
"What is he afraid of, his wife is not dead!"
As we spoke, we felt that someone had been watching us, "Look at the person over there, is it the person you are looking for?" asked me, pointing to a man in a black suit by the pool in the outfield.
I looked down her fingertips, and the man was looking at us, "That's him, Leslie Wu."
Leslie walked over to us with a wine glass, and as he walked in, I could clearly feel Grandma Tong's excitement, "This is so handsome! Is there any rainforest handsome of you?" she asked me excitedly, lowering her voice.
I tried to keep smiling, and with a change in mouth shape that Leslie didn't notice, I replied, "No, almost." ”
"How is that possible!" Grandma Tong didn't believe it, it seemed that she had been completely conquered by Leslie's charm.
"May, long time no see!" Leslie had come to us. I have to admit that after not seeing him for a long time, he has now added a bit of vicissitudes, the more attractive he is a mature man, and the dark brown hair color also makes his dark blue eyes more attractive.
"Long time no see!Leslie, this is the boy I mentioned to you earlier, your future star!"
No matter how good-looking Leslie is, she is first and foremost a businessman. When he heard my words, he immediately turned to Grandma Tong, and the interest in his eyes was not from the praise of the opposite sex, but from the recognition of the product.
Grandma Tong is not stupid, and naturally she can feel it, "Leslie, I hope you are quite satisfied with me." I believe that with this smile, even if you are as shrewd as Leslie, it is impossible to completely materialize Grandma Tong.
"I think we should go and say hello to our opponents! "Leslie has a square chin typical for Europeans and Americans, which allows him to wave off his hormones when he laughs.
"Won't it startle the snake?" I disagreed with his flamboyant demeanor, "but if you want to go, take Sitong there! ”
"The big war is coming, it needs a little sense of ceremony, and", Grandma Tong curled the corners of her lips and smiled at Leslie, "If you want to play, play big!"
I didn't expect Grandma Tong and Leslie to be so compatible, so I had to raise a glass to them, wishing them a good luck tonight.
In the distance, I saw Leslie walking towards Wu Xin with Grandma Tong. Walking in front of Wu Xin, Leslie said hello and then approached Wu Xin and whispered something in his ear, and then raised his wine glass as if he wanted to toast Wu Xin. Wu Xin knocked Leslie's glass to the ground. There was no big movement when the fine champagne glass was shattered on the ground, but several beauties around Wu Xin screamed exaggeratedly and retreated a meter, as if it was a fire and thunder bomb that fell to the ground, and this cry also made everyone notice the strangeness of their part.
At this time, Grandma Tong suddenly turned around and pushed Leslie, and since she was "excited" to hug Wu Xin. Wu Xin was stunned for a while, as if he didn't react to Grandma Tong's intentions, and the agile onlookers beside him had already taken out their mobile phones and snapped them.
Grandma Tong accepted it when she saw it, quickly let go of Wu Xin, patted him on the back, and then left with high heels.
