Chapter 21: A Secret Emotional Crisis
At this time, the members of the Peking Opera Troupe of Province B organized a celebration banquet.
Gu Nanqiao and Lin Lulu didn't like such a fake and empty party, and after the first round of toasting, the two of them secretly glanced at each other, and each found an excuse to leave quietly and started a private celebration.
"Qiaoqiao, you said it's better for us to go somewhere, I haven't been here before, so I don't know each other very well. ”
Lin Lulu used her mobile phone to flip through the nearby Xiaoqing bar, which was open late, and said, "By the way, don't you really call Shen You and call him over?"
"It's said that he's been really busy lately, don't bother him," Gu Nanqiao chuckled, "Let's get together together, why do you call a light bulb over?"
"Qiaoqiao, I'm spontaneously being the light bulb for the two of you, can you recognize the facts?" Lin Lulu glanced at Gu Nanqiao with hatred, "It's so late, even the meeting should be over, and his legitimate boyfriend didn't come to celebrate in person on such an important day, it would be too much to say." ”
"Forget it, it's so late, don't let him toss. Gu Nanqiao explained for Shen You again.
"Give me a call and ask, if he's willing to come. After saying this, Lin Lulu didn't talk nonsense with Gu Nanqiao anymore, and went directly to the page of the mobile phone address book, found Shen You's number and dialed it.
"Even if you don't come, you have to educate him....... If you don't hit me!"
By the time Gu Nanqiao reacted, she had obviously missed the best time to stop it, she was one step slower and didn't stop her own friends from scattering virtues, and the phone had already been dialed by Lin Lulu.
Shen You's answer was very slow, and the phone rang for a while, and Lin Lulu wanted to hang up the replay, so he finally connected.
"Hey....... Hey, Shen You. Lin Lulu went straight to the point and pressed the release button casually, "I'm Lin Lulu, with your Nan Qiao, I have to criticize and criticize you, today is the perfect closing night for Nan Qiao to sing the leading role for the first time, you didn't come over to offer flowers for the first time, what a model boyfriend, bad reviews." ”
Shen You's wind was very loud, and the voice of the words was also mixed with the wind, and it didn't sound very real: "It's my fault, I'm going to see the performance venue in Z City today, this will still be on the highway, is Qiaoqiao's performance going well, aren't you angry?"
"It's not just smooth, you didn't see it, it's really a loss, people are full of applause, okay......." Lin Lulu raised her eyebrows, and was about to repeat the details of the performance to Shen You, when she was interrupted by Gu Nanqiao's voice.
"Shen You, don't listen to Lulu's nonsense, I'm fine here. ”
Gu Nanqiao's tone was plain, and he didn't mean to be angry at all. Her attitude towards her boyfriend has always been free-range, and she accepts that each other has their own space, not a clingy character, and it doesn't matter if she has to maintain superficial formalism.
For Shen You who was busy with work and didn't come to celebrate with her, Gu Nanqiao was a little vaguely disappointed and regretful, but it was nothing more than staying until he was lost, and he wouldn't have a temper with Shen You because of these things at all.
"Let's talk about the performance when you come back, it's been a day, you drive and concentrate, don't call yet. ”
"Wife, you are so considerate," Shen You chuckled and said, "Then I owe you this celebration banquet today, and I will take you to eat something good on the weekend, you and Lulu can celebrate well, and I will report your safety when I get home." ”
"Okay," Gu Nanqiao responded, "Then, you pay attention to safety." ”
"Don't worry, Jojo. Shen You's tone paused, and then he said again, "Then today I will trouble Miss Lulu to accompany our family Qiaoqiao and celebrate her for my derelict model boyfriend." ”
"Come on, wrap it up on me. Lin Lulu waved her hand and responded very happily, and then her eyes rolled, "But Boss Shen, I helped you so much, is there any share of the meal?"
"Of course," Shen You was surprised by such a joke, and Lang replied with a smile, "I'm ready to be you and Qiaoqiao light bulbs." ”
After hanging up the phone, Lin Lulu and Gu Nanqiao soon stopped worrying about Shen You's inability to celebrate together, and the two girls continued to wander around the brightly lit road, planning to find a place with a decent environment to have a few drinks.
As everyone knows, at this time, on the other end of the phone, the so-called "on the highway" Shen You put the mobile phone in his pocket, turned off the whirring hand dryer casually, and chuckled lightly at the corner of his lips.
Shen You turned on the faucet to wash his hands, the cold liquid was sprinkled on his slender fingers, splashing the dripping droplets, Shen You's reflection appeared in the mirror, the young man was wearing a well-cut suit, shirt tie and even slightly rolled up cuffs, every place was delicate and decent, and there was a bit of elegance of a young talent.
Shen You raised his head, looking at his handsome face, he still had a faint smile on his handsome face, even after almost being hit by his real girlfriend just now, he could still maintain his calm and come up with the best solution....... Thinking of this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his smile suddenly became a little more self-deprecating.
He is the best at disguising and camouflaging, and always hides his personal emotions well, showing nothing more than the side he is willing to show others.
- And how much is true and how false is this, maybe even Shen You himself can't tell.
Today, Shen You did come to Z City to see the performance venue, but the work was over in the afternoon, Z City is only two or three hours' drive from Xinguang City, the capital of Province B, Shen You can rush back before Gu Nanqiao's performance starts, far from having to delay for so long, as for not going home now, there is another reason.
Shen You is a few years older than Gu Nanqiao, and when Gu Nanqiao was still studying at the Academy of Opera, he began to start his own business and founded Chenhuan Performing Arts Company from scratch, specializing in performing arts production business for drama and commercial performances. In just a few years, Chenhuan has become well-known in the industry and has achieved quite good results, and Shen You is also a promising young man unanimously recognized in the industry.
However, compared to these exaggerated praises, Shen You is very clear about his shortcomings.
Shen You is from an intellectual family, barely touching the middle class, and the help for his career is almost zero, let alone giving Shen You any contacts and economic support in the industry, and every step of the development of Chenhuan has to rely on his own exploration.
The performance market is different from those emerging industry start-ups, the cake in Province B is only so big, and the best part has been divided into mature companies. At this time, newcomers like Shen You discovered the signs of the performance market and began to start a business to compete with those old people for jobs, and it was not easy to get a piece of the pie on their plates.
It is not easy for Shen You to get to this point by relying on his own mind and ability, but if he wants to take a step closer and completely squeeze to the top of the pyramid of the performance market, it is by no means possible to achieve it by hard work and talent - there must be strong support and help behind this.
In short, he urgently needed a ladder from the person who was already standing at the top to give him a ladder to climb up smoothly.
Shen You originally thought about these things thoroughly, but because he didn't have the opportunity, he stayed at the level of just thinking about it. It wasn't until this time that Chenhuan undertook a large-scale public welfare concert in Z City, cooperated with Canran Group, one of the leading performers in Province B, and coincidentally got the favor of Li Xuanci, the daughter of Canran Group, the person in charge of this concert, that Shen You finally felt that the height he had been looking forward to was one step closer.
Therefore, it is logical to conceal the fact that he is not single and launch a just right pursuit of Li Xuanci.
Recently, under Shen You's deliberate promotion, the relationship between him and Li Xuanci has gradually warmed up, and Shen You can clearly feel that he and Li Qianjin's meaning to each other could not be clearer, and the ambiguous feelings between the two people are just right, which is nothing more than the last step of confirming the relationship.
After finishing work today, Li Xuanci proposed to have dinner with the revolving restaurant in the city center, which is known for its high consumption, and then go to watch a midnight movie together to relax, accompanied by Shen You very gentlemanly. Because his heart was on Li Xuanci's body, even before Lin Lulu's phone call, Shen You didn't remember that today was the day of Gu Nanqiao's "Picking Up the Jade Bracelet".
Shen You is a refined egoist, he never thinks that profit is a derogatory term, but firmly adheres to it as a criterion of undefeated victory on the business battlefield. As an excellent businessman, it is a professional instinct to be able to keenly smell the business opportunities that are beneficial to you, and then make reasonable use of them, amplify the advantages, and form the most beneficial situation for yourself.
And in the face of absolute interests, it is normal to have some innocuous trade-offs.
Even if this time he wants to give up what he has been trying to maintain, feelings.
It only took a few seconds for Shen You to sort out his emotions, he wiped the water droplets on his hands, and when he walked out of the bathroom unhurriedly, he was already completely calm that nothing had happened.
And when he came out of the bathroom, he found that Li Xuanci's handbag was still on the chair, but he was not sitting in his place.
The guests at that table were two young men, both of whom were very handsome and handsome, like celebrities traveling together, and they made enough money to turn heads. Li Xuanci relied on the laughing and playful one who dyed his hair into an exaggerated linen blonde, and his clothes were also fashionable and dazzling, and he looked like a rich second generation who was not bad for money.
The man opposite him was obviously much more lazy and casual, leaning against the window and smoking, listening to the two people opposite him laugh in response. The brilliant neon outside the window outlines his side face, and the corners of his lips are like magnets with indescribable attraction, making people feel that they can't take their eyes off it.
"Hey, Shen You, come here. Seeing Shen You come out, Li Xuanci stood up from Zhong Ziyi's side and waved his hand without seeing it, "I'll introduce you to two old friends, it's a coincidence, you can meet you for a casual meal." ”
Shen You lowered his eyes slightly, and the displeasure in his eyes was quickly hidden, and he walked over quickly.
