Chapter 19: The Beginning Without Warning

Yang Pu sat quietly in the car without saying a word. After that scandal, An Hongtian found Yang Pu as soon as possible, gave her a sum of money, told her to leave the city immediately, and asked her to never come back. Yang Pu had no other choice, and she didn't dare to have any other choice, so she returned to her hometown city and found a job in a restaurant.

However, the good times did not last long, because her father was sick and hospitalized, forcing her to return to Shangdu to work again, and her father was taken care of by her aunt. Before she came, she also had some concerns, although it has been a long time, she is still afraid that the media will turn over old accounts and make her the focus again. To hide herself, she changed her name, put some makeup on her face, and applied to be a waitress at a bar.

Shangdu is a relatively large city, and the salary here is also very high, not to mention that there are some people she knows here who can help her live a better life here, but she never expected that we would find here.

I reclined in the passenger seat, put my arm on the back of the seat, sighed and said, "You come to work in our company!" She shook her head, her eyes were full of uneasiness: "I know you set up a company, but I don't dare to go! I don't want to affect your life again because of me......" I interrupted her and said, "I affected your life!"

She looked up at me with a smile and said, "What are you influencing me?!" I thought about it seriously, but I couldn't think of how to answer her, I just felt that I owed her something. She lowered her head again, rubbed her hands awkwardly and said, "It's all fate! I can't blame you entirely, we were all victims at that time." But now it's a good thing, and you're finally together......" I swallowed hard, feeling like the whole world was what we imagined......

"How much money is your father missing, we can help you!" Ye Yuanshi suddenly interjected. I also looked at Yang Pu with firm eyes, but she shook her head with a wry smile: "I have no reason to ask you to help me, and I don't want to affect you because of my appearance......"

But in the end, we helped Yanpu. At the time of separation, Ye Yuanshi secretly put a bank card in Yang Pu's pocket along with a small note with a password. I don't know how long this money can last her father, I just hope to use our power to help a victim who shouldn't hide his life like this.

In the end, Yang Pu silently accepted the money, because she didn't know where we lived and how to contact us, and she didn't dare to return to Huihuang Group again. I think we also used our own way to fulfill a wish that should have been repaid. Helping a person in need of help, the heart is always full of happiness, helpfulness exists in everyone's heart, just because of social turmoil, shameless people's bad conspiracy, resulting in people are unwilling to help, or even dare not help. The world is becoming more and more false, everyone is not willing to take off the mask first, but is more cautious to wear a mask outside the mask, and the final result of human evolution is to make themselves the most primitive form of body language.

In the end, An Youjun failed to win the title of "Asia's New Student", and among all the vote-getters, she had the lowest vote rate. Of course, there is nothing to fight for in this small title, but no one expected that such a small title is the key to the casting of Asia's largest film and television group. If we had learned this information before, we would have done whatever it took to get it. However, this Asian film and television group is also for this purpose, and it is afraid that someone will maliciously swipe the votes, so it deliberately announced it as the purpose of casting after revealing the answer.

Although I lost the vote, I still frantically asked around about the film that was about to be shot in Shandu. It took me a week to find a foreign producer with the surname Inoue, but it was not easy to make an appointment with him. After many twists and turns, this distinguished guest from abroad finally left us a little time in the evening.

Ye Yuanshi, Ye Yuanshi, some agents with rich diplomatic experience in the company, and several important entourage, came to the hotel where the other party was staying. As soon as we walked into the hotel lobby, a woman greeted us. With her leading, we came to the top floor of the hotel together. Stepping out of the elevator, we were stopped by several men in suits and asked to check our belongings. The woman who led us, seeing that everyone was a little resistant, smiled and explained, "It's just a routine checkup, don't worry!".

We followed her on to the inner room, where the entire floor was said to have been taken over by the producer, and patrolling people could be seen everywhere in the hallway. Is it really necessary to be so prepared?

Coming to the door of the room at the end of the corridor, the woman knocked on the door, and a man opened the door and exchanged a few words with the woman in a foreign language, and then the woman motioned for us to enter the room and wait in the living room. About ten minutes later, a man in a tunic came out of it, although his hair was dark, the wrinkles on his face had already revealed the fact that he was not young.

Before he could get in front of us, he politely stretched out his right hand, and I hurriedly stepped forward to shake his hand, he nodded politely and said "Hello!" in non-standard Mandarin.

After taking a seat, the secretary next to us introduced each other, and after a brief greeting, we immediately got to the point.

"I wonder if Mr. Inoue has heard of Coini Entertainment Co., Ltd.," I asked with a smile. After the other party's secretary finished translating in a foreign language that he didn't understand, Mr. Inoue looked at me, touched the tip of his nose thoughtfully, and said something in a calm tone. The secretary quickly translated at the first time: "Mr. Inoue said that he has heard of a group with this name!"

In fact, this also indirectly answered me, indicating that he only knew about the Coini group, and he didn't know which company they came from. Of course, this answer is not so important, it is just to pave a path for the later questions, and today's topic is only An Youjun. On the other hand, the answer was also good, at least he remembered the name of the group.

I nodded my head, changed my sitting posture and said, "The group you mentioned is from our company, and I believe you must have seen their wonderful performances." There are still many artists in our company who are training, but they are not as famous as them for the time being, but I believe that the artists who go out in our company in the future will have a good future in the end. ”

Inoue kept staring at me with a smile on his face, he leaned back on the sofa, clasped his hands on his chest, and after listening to the secretary's translation, he said to me in the classic English pronunciation: "go-on!"

I put some information on An Youjun on the table and said: "Her name is An Youjun, she is my sister, and she is also a signed artist of Ke Aini, she is a very self-motivated and hard-working girl. Although she didn't win the title of 'Asia's New Talent', I firmly believe that she is an artist with great potential. I know how beautiful I am, it's just my thoughts, here's some information about her, you can read it when you have time. The purpose of my coming here is also to hope that she can have a chance to show her face in the new film, and I hope you can have a few kind words with the director team. ”

Afterwards, I motioned for my entourage to bring out the gifts I had prepared. This gift is specially selected according to the person's preference. Before visiting, Ye Yuanshi specially asked someone to inquire that this person especially likes to collect blue and white porcelain, so I sent people around and finally chose this one.

But Inoue remained unmoved, not attracted by the porcelain on the table. He looked at me straight in the eye for a long time before he said a word in a foreign language. The secretary immediately translated: "Mr. Inoue said that he can't accept this gift, the role of the film has been determined, and he has no reason to ask the director to change it." ”

I didn't rush it, I smiled and said, "I don't mean that you have to choose her, I just hope you can read her work before you make a decision......

When Inoue heard this, he suddenly burst out laughing. He picked up An Youjun's information with great interest, flipped through a few pages, and said something to the secretary. I couldn't understand what he was saying, but I could vaguely feel that my words were taken seriously by him.

"Mr. Inoue said that if the person you are talking about is really so good, he is willing to know more, but he can't accept this gift of yours!" Before the secretary could finish translating, Inoue stood up anxiously and nodded to me, still saying in the non-standard Mandarin, "Thank you! Goodbye!" and then entered another room. The lady who had just led us in said to us, "Mr. Inoue never accepts gifts from strangers. He still has something to deal with, please come back!"

Before I came, I thought that this was the result in the end, but this result was also much better than I expected, at least he left An Youjun's information, as for whether he would take it seriously, it was another matter. Actually, I don't have much hope, and a semi-formal backdoor like this usually won't lead to anything.

But a week later, I received a call from Inoue's secretary, saying that he had invited me to meet with him. I thought it was over, and I had given up hope when I was depressed, and when I received this phone call, I was reinvigorated.

Compared to the fanfare of the last visit, this time it was just me, the agent and an entourage. This time it was not different from the last time, as soon as we got out of the elevator, we were still checked by several men in suits, but this time it was a different person who led us. Inoue was pouring tea in the living room, and when he saw us appear, he immediately greeted me and greeted me in Chinese: "Hello! Hello!" I also replied with a foreign language: "Kao Ji Wa"

Walking into the living room, I still sat in the position I had last time, Inoue poured us a cup of tea, I took a sip, and asked knowingly, "Did you come to me this time?" I could clearly tell that the girls on the cover of the magazine were the Coini group. Just as I was looking at the magazine in confusion, Mr. Inoue suddenly opened his mouth and said to me. The secretary translated: "Mr. Inoue said that he couldn't meet the request made by Mr. Fan last time, but he knew that the Ke Aini group was from your company, and he could leave this opportunity to them. ”

I sat back in my chair in a little surprise, but I didn't expect this to happen. This accident disrupted all our original plans. An Youjun didn't react much in the face of this change, but on the contrary, she persuaded me, she believes that they are also artists trained by the company, and no matter who has the opportunity to appear, they are all winning glory for the company. The fame of the Ke Aini group is indeed slightly better than An Youjun, and it seems that sexy beauties are still the primary focus of attention in the eyes of young men in today's society.

The Ko Aini group only plays the role of passers-by in this drama, although there are not many shots, but it is also a rare opportunity, after all, this is a first-class film company in Asia. Actually, I didn't have a lot of hope before I went to the producer, but I didn't expect this Mr. Inoue to be able to make it happen, and although the result was not satisfactory, it had already achieved the expected effect, but it was just a little off. Most importantly, he didn't accept the gifts I sent.

The film has been very strict since the beginning of filming, and all people who have nothing to do with the crew are also prohibited from entering the set, and everyone must show a special ID card to enter and exit. During the filming of one of the cutscenes of Coini, the heroine was not in a very good state, and the director repeatedly called a stop to get her best condition, and in this way, the group was delayed by this scene for a full three hours......

It was already dusk after the end of the shooting, and we stopped by the seafood city in Taizi and did a simple celebration, in fact, it was a celebration, just a dinner. Today's seafood city is deserted than before, and it is basically overcrowded at this time. I entered the private room in doubt, and as soon as everyone sat down, a waiter leaned in my ear and said, "Our boss Huang has something to look for you, in the private room next door!" The waiter turned around and left. I frowned, stood up and was about to take a step, Ye Yuanshi suddenly stopped me: "What's wrong? Did something happen?" I smiled and shook my head, held her shoulder and comforted: "Don't worry, Taizi has something to do with me, I'll be back in a while!"

The door of the next room was open, and Tai Zi saw me come in, closed the door, pulled me to sit inside, and said to me, "Your brother is also eating in our seafood city now!" I asked suspiciously and a little surprised, "You said An Youxian?"

Tai Zi nodded: "He wrapped the entire third floor, as if he invited some VIPs." He saw that I didn't care, touched his forehead and continued: "I heard from others that he has been very unhappy recently, his wife seems to be divorcing him, and he has not been happy in Huihuang Group, and he is currently hoping to do a successful project to save the situation! I heard that your relationship is not very good...... So tell you this news in advance, so that you can be prepared!" I lowered my head and fell into deep thought, I had heard An Youjun talk to me about these things, but I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, because An Youxian and his wife had quarreled and divorced before.

I patted Taezi on the shoulder, "It's okay! don't worry, we eat ours, and we won't get in the way of them!" Taezi nodded and didn't say anything more.

Back in the private room, the waiter was serving the food, but Ye Yuanshi was not in the room. When they saw me come back, they were a little surprised: "Sister-in-law just went out! Didn't you see her?!" I found that her phone and bag were still in her seat. I walked out of the room and looked around, and saw Ye Yuanshi just coming out of the bathroom, because the distance was relatively far, so I called her name. At the same time, the staircase leading from the second floor to the third floor was heard with noisy footsteps. Ye Yuanshi had just walked to the staircase when she happened to meet the group of people who came down from the third floor.

I saw An Youxian and a large group of people appearing in the corridor on the second floor. Ye Yuanshi and An Youxian looked at each other for a few seconds, Ye Yuanshi first opened her mouth and said, "Brother, hello!" An Youxian didn't answer, didn't even look at her, but staggered to me. I could smell the smell of alcohol emanating from him from a long distance, he squinted at me, and deliberately accentuated his tone: "Isn't this my brother! Why is it so coincidental! You are here too!" I nodded awkwardly, and replied with a smile: "Yes! Brother......" His face suddenly changed greatly, put his index finger on his mouth, and gasped vigorously and said: "Shhh Either way, we are born of one Father!"

The other people in the private room, hearing the sound outside, came out to check on the situation. Ahn Youxian looked at the others behind me and suddenly took a few steps forward, the pungent smell of alcohol on his body making me gasp. He glared at me with fierce eyes, "I'm not my parents, I'll never accept you!" he said, spitting on the ground, and the spit happened to land on my shoe......

When I went back to my room again, I looked at the delicious food on the table and lost my appetite at all. So I pulled Ye Yuanshi, said goodbye to everyone in advance and left the hotel.

When I got home, I was half-lying on the couch without saying a word, thinking nonsense. Over the years, I have tried countless times to unravel my awkward relationship with Ahn Woo-hyun, but nothing has come of it, but instead he has become more and more hated. I never understood where his hatred came from, was my presence affecting his life, or was my luck better than his......?

It quickly faded into my memory like sugar in my mouth. Life is like a car with failed brakes, sliding quickly on the road until it hits an obstacle, and people can suddenly wake up. The company has been working in an orderly manner, and a new intern artist has become a hot topic within the company recently.

This girl named Su Qiaoqiao, with her dancing and singing talents, quickly won the favor of everyone in the company, because she is smart and quick to react, so her popularity in the company has always been very good. After training her for a while, we set out to create a packaging plan for her to make this already attractive girl even more charming. Although her performance experience is almost zero, after being cultivated by the company, she is found to be a very potential artist.

Su Qiaoqiao has studied dance since she was a child and has a deep talent for dancing, although she is slightly inferior in singing, she can rely on dance to master the entire stage. The success of several auditions also indicates that our efforts have not been in vain. Because her name was too ordinary, the company gave her a stage name - Qiaomeng. Of course, a name will not affect anything, but a good name can be remembered by fans, especially in the entertainment industry, a good stage name is especially important.

Under the promotion of the company, Qiaomeng officially debuted with her first album. Like other artists who have just debuted, she didn't receive any attention at the beginning, not even an interview, and the new album that has just been released is also unpopular. But a piece of news that suddenly popped up quickly pushed this girl who had just debuted not long ago to the forefront.

A reporter photographed that Qiaomeng had dinner with a well-known domestic actor at a high-end restaurant one night, and then the two walked into a hotel together and did not leave until late at night. As soon as the news came out, reporters came to Koaini's door to seek an opportunity to interview. After the news, I immediately contacted Qiaomeng to ask what happened, but Qiaomeng was very aggrieved, she said that she had been staying at home that night, had never been to any restaurant, and she had never been in contact with the actor.

Although my attitude was to remain silent, the media kept pestering me until it annoyed me. In the end, Ye Yuanshi and her agent had to hold a relatively small press conference with a clever dream. At the press conference, some reporters inevitably raised some bitter questions, such as "Is this the company hyping up ...... for you" or "What is the relationship with male stars...... but they were all resolved by the agent and Ye Yuanshi. Qiaomeng is also completely known because of this incident, but it is completely different from the way I imagined.

All bad things, there will be a good side. Although Qiaomeng was rumored to be scandalous, she also gained attention, and for a while, her newly released album became the focus. In fact, more people paid attention to her through that scandal, so her film appointments gradually increased. Her beautiful dancing has captured the hearts of thousands of young men. Men are visual creatures, and women with delicate faces will always be favored.

One contract after another was invested in the company, and Qiao Meng was the third artist to become popular in the actual sense of Coyni, but it was not on our own, but with the help of external forces.

Among the bunch of contract invitations, there was a very special contract that caught my interest, this invitation from Shangdu TV, inviting Qiao Meng to participate in an entertainment program. This show has been very popular a few years ago, and although it has declined in recent years, it has been among the top few in the mainland ratings list for a long time. I don't understand this kind of show, why invite new artists who are still riddled with scandals?

So we gradually got in touch with Shangdu TV and discussed the details further. However, the person in charge of Shangdu TV refused to negotiate with the company's agent, and the reason for the refusal was that I had to meet with them in person before they agreed to negotiate further cooperation. This unwarranted request also made me have to accept it for no reason, because the chips are too tempting.

A secretary and I went to the pre-arranged location. After seeing us appear, a tall man greeted us from the side: "Mr. Fan, right? After following him to a private room next to him, there was a chubby man playing with his mobile phone, and when he saw me, he stretched out his huge hand, shook my hand up and down vigorously, and said, "I've known you for a long time!" The tall man introduced: "This is the editor of our show, he likes you very much!" I replied with a smile.

From the moment I entered the room, Editor Lee kept praising me so much that it finally bores me. This incident also shows that excessive praise may not have good results, and only when it is just right is effective. In the face of the other party's boasting, I had to embarrass "um", "ah" and "yes". Not only that, Editor Li always toasted me, although I have said many times that I can't drink more, but I was still inexplicably poured several glasses by him. I deliberately refused, but whenever I saw Editor Li's unhappy face, I had to dismiss this idea.

In this way, we drank until late and waved goodbye. I sincerely admire this editor Li's incredible amount of alcohol, I drank so much, and I drank a lot of alcohol, and I still walked like a fly. The secretary sent me home, it was almost two o'clock in the morning, I went upstairs to open the door, and with the help of the light outside the house, I found that Ye Yuanshi was already asleep. I quietly exited the room and fell asleep on the couch in the study......

The next morning, I was awakened by the sound of the kitchen and found that I was covered with a blanket, which should have been covered by Ye Yuanshi. I went down to the ground a few times, came to the kitchen, and saw Ye Yuanshi preparing breakfast. I stepped forward and put my arms around her waist, and she seemed to be startled, and her body trembled: "Hey, scare me! Why don't you make a sound when you walk?!" and then she asked, "Why did you fall asleep in the study last night?" and you were drinking!"

I stared at the egg fried rice she made, and replied helplessly: "Editor Li of that TV station is too good to talk, so I drank with him in order to talk about the Qiaomeng program." When I came back, I saw that you were already asleep, I was afraid that there was a smell of alcohol on my body, and I was very sleepy and didn't want to take a bath, so I slept in the study. ”

"Why do you say so pitiful, I didn't say I dislike you! Is it finally settled?" she pouted slightly, placing fried rice and a few small plates of side dishes on the table. I gulped down a glass of water and nodded. Seeing me gobbling up food, she said worriedly: "Don't drink so much wine in the future, it's not good for your health!"

Although Christmas is still a few days away, the streets are already covered with Christmas decorations, and the whole company is wrapped in this atmosphere, and some Christmas cards have appeared in my office. Back on Christmas Eve last year, I spent it alone in my room reading a book. On Christmas Eve, I chartered the entire seafood city in Thailand and feasted everyone in the company, and it was the first big party in Koaini's establishment, and we were so excited that we completely forgot what time we were back.

The next morning, Yang Pu came to our villa out of the blue. Due to the tiredness of the party last night, Yang Pu rang the doorbell for a long time before we heard the sound. In order to hide people's eyes, Yang Pu deliberately dressed up in disguise, brought a big mask, and a baseball cap. In fact, it is easier to be found in this way, who would be so tightly wrapped by normal people......

Yang Pu took a sip of tea and said, "I'm here to thank you!" and as she spoke, she took out a bulging paper bag from her bag and placed it on the table with a bank passbook. I opened the paper bag and found several thick stacks of bills inside. She added: "I know about this place from the news, and I hope I came here suddenly this time and didn't disturb your ......."

Ye Yuanshi walked next to Yang Pu, put her arm around her shoulders and said cordially: "Oh! Don't say such unsightly words." ”

"Now my dad's condition is basically stable, and I have almost earned the money, so I will return the money to you first, and then I plan to go back to my hometown to find a job, so that I can continue to take care of my dad!" Yang Pu said.

I looked at the paper bag full of cash and was a little puzzled: "You've been working as a waitress in a bar, and you don't have much savings, how can you suddenly make so much money all of a sudden?!"

Ye Yuanshi also stared at Yang Pu with sudden realization. Yang Pu suddenly stood up, walked out the door with his bag, and replied, "I saved some before...... I'll go first!" Ye Yuanshi also saw Yang Pu's abnormality. Under our repeated questioning, Yang Pu told the truth. It turned out that she took out a loan from the bank in order to repay us as soon as possible.

"My stupid sister, why do you want to do so much?! We are not in a hurry to ask you to repay the money, when we have earned enough, it is not too late to pay it back! Can we still care if you ask for interest?" Ye Yuanshi said.

I understand Yang Pu's approach, she is a person who doesn't like to owe others like me, and if she owes, she must pay it back as soon as she has the ability. After we tried to stay, Youngpu agreed to stay for lunch. In fact, the worst thing now is Yang Pu, I got love by mistake, and my career is thriving. But Yang Pu, on the other hand, was not only driven away from the city, but also lived a life of hiding.

And we also inadvertently learned that the editor-in-chief Manchu used to be good friends with Yang Pu's father, but later because of economic disputes, Yang Pu's father broke off relations with the editor-in-chief, which has always made the editor-in-chief Manchu hold a grudge, so he sent people to follow Yang Pu every day, and finally found an opportunity to fabricate the scandal between me and Yang Pu. He thinks that this will make Yang Pu lose face, and at the same time, he can once again provoke the conflict between the An family and the Yang family. Later, when I tasted the sweetness, I found that reporting my news would greatly increase their media popularity, so I was out of control......

"I see, that's why I made it all up in the first place!" I slammed my chopsticks on the table in a bit of anger...... Yang Pu looked at the chopsticks I dropped and said, "Actually, some things are so simple, it's equivalent to you asking today's children why they bully their partners, and their reasons will also make us feel naΓ―ve......"

She seemed to suddenly remember something and continued: "And I also heard my father say that this person not only has a bad style, but also cheats...... I sneered and said disdainfully: "Rich people are like this!"

"But you don't, you've always been so nice to your daughter-in-law. Yang Pu looked at Ye Yuanshi on the side and said.

"It's alright......" I replied with an awkward smile. Ye Yuanshi glanced at me coldly, and asked me in a weird way: "You can't have people outside, right?!" I looked back at Ye Yuanshi in surprise, and before I could answer, she rolled her eyes and mocked: "But who can still take a fancy to you! You are so boring!" I just wanted to defend myself, Yang Pu smiled and interrupted me with an ugly face: "In fact, women have soft hearts, even if they do something wrong, they know that they will repent seriously and not commit crimes in the future." But this full editor-in-chief is too much, not to mention having children with women outside, and always fighting with his wife, and he and another woman's children are seven or eight years old. His wife has always dared to be angry, not even to divorce!"

"You said that the woman with the child is his lover?!" I asked with a surprised glance at Ye Yuanshi.

"Yes, you know?" asked us with some curiosity.

I shook my head and continued to eat as if I didn't know anything. It turns out that the truth we see is just a fake, and the one who leads the child is the lover. The era of the original partner becoming a third party has passed, and the story of the original partner being a "third party" is gradually moving towards the mainstream. How long will this mysterious world continue to live like this?!

Ever since Qiaomeng came to the company, I've noticed that she seems to be a little strange to me. Every time I saw her in the company, I felt that she was staring at me all the time, maybe I was too sensitive, but after observing it a few times, I gradually determined that this dream was intentional.

At first, when it was almost Christmas, I found an unsigned card among the many greeting cards on my desk, and it only wrote "The person who has been silently following you". At the time, I didn't really care about it, because I had received this kind of card before, and I was sure that it was sent by someone inside the company, or it wouldn't have appeared in my office. I casually put the card in the drawer where I used to receive inexplicable greeting cards, and I didn't check it again.

However, on the day before Christmas, Qiao Meng suddenly came to my office and said that in order to thank me, he gave me a large bouquet of flowers and said that he would invite me to dinner, but in the end I politely refused, because I never contacted the company's artists alone for any reason.

And what worries me the most is that Qiaomeng seems to have a special affection for me, always doing some intimate movements in front of me, such as holding my arm, inadvertently pulling my hand, and so on. This may have been unintentional or accidental, but the more I think about it, the stranger it becomes, and we just got to know each other, which is a bit bizarre.

After listening to my concerns, Ye Yuanshi also couldn't believe it: "Su Qiaoqiao shouldn't be, I think she is quite kind......" "Kindness enough on the outside can hide the hypocrisy in the heart...... But seeing that she's usually quite serious, is it really that I'm thinking too much?" I said.

Ye Yuanshi put her arms around my neck, put her mouth to my ear and whispered: "Actually, I am the only one who can take a fancy to you, and no one will like silly hats anymore!" Then she turned her face and laughed. I snorted softly through my nose and took her in my arms, and she suddenly said solemnly: "I look at people very accurately, Qiaoqiao is not like that kind of girl!"

While we were laughing, perhaps there was a secret plan going on quietly......
