Chapter Ninety-Four: People and People, Trust
I don't know if you have ever had such an experience:
You make an appointment to meet someone near your home, less than a 10-minute walk. Then, when there is an hour or two left before the appointed time, you feel that you are not in a hurry, when there is still half an hour, you feel that it is okay, and when there are ten minutes left, you feel that you can catch up if you go quickly. In the end, you're late.
Zhao Liying trotted towards the place agreed with Mu Ming, while complaining to herself in her heart. Because I feel that today's meeting is more important, I want to put on makeup, I can't wear it casually, I have to match my clothes, I have to match my clothes, I have to adjust a pair of shoes, I want to leave, and I find that my hair is a little messy......
"Ding Dong~~"
The text message prompt sound of the mobile phone, Xiao Zhao paused his steps out of breath and took out his mobile phone. It was Mu Ming's text message, saying that he had arrived, and he also sent her the seat number. Zhao Liying looked at the hotel close at hand, forget it, don't run, it's already late anyway.
According to the seat number Mu Ming said, under the guidance of the waiter, Zhao Liying saw Mu Ming sitting alone and looking down at her mobile phone from a distance. He Ru has found her a lot of information about Mu Ming in the past few days, and the childish young face will be impressed by her for a long time.
"Hello, is it Mu Mingmu who produced the film?" Xiao Zhao said cautiously.
"Hello, I'm Mu Ming, you, uh-" Mu Ming was shocked by the voice, and the only one who would look for him at this time was Zhao Liying, who had made an appointment today, so he put down his phone and looked up to say hello. It's a pity that I was only halfway through the words, and I suddenly found that it was a strange girl in front of me, and I couldn't help but be stunned for a while.
No, it's still a little familiar. Mu Ming took a closer look again, I went, isn't this Zhao Liying? It's just that the current classmate Xiao Zhao is really far from the image that Mu Ming is familiar with a few years later.
"Hello producer Mu, I'm Zhao Liying. Zhao Liying saw the strangeness in Mu Ming's eyes and introduced herself. But at the same time, he secretly began to mumble in his heart, as if it was a little different from what he thought, this boy really didn't seem to know himself.
"Oh, hello, Miss Zhao, I'm Mu Ming. Well, your image today is a bit ...... compared to what I've seen before. Chic, I didn't recognize it for a while. Mu Ming glanced at Zhao Liying's dress today, as a liberal arts student, he was suddenly ashamed that he didn't listen to the class properly, otherwise why would he think of the adjective "chic" after thinking about it for a long time now.
The upper body is a heavy down jacket, which is conservatively estimated to be no less than three layers of clothing, and one layer is definitely a jacket like a jacket; the lower body is a speckled pattern of pants, I don't know if it is the reason for wearing autumn pants, it is a little bulging; on the feet is a pair of thick-soled flatform shoes, which is the kind that can pull up five centimeters out of thin air.
Mu Ming glanced at Xiao Zhao, who was sitting opposite her, this must have been her own match. Hey, such a magical way of matching, I really feel sorry for her stylist and makeup artist.
As soon as she sat down, Zhao Liying hurriedly apologized first: "I'm sorry, Producer Mu, the way here is a little blocked, it's late, I'm sorry." ”
"It doesn't matter, the traffic in Jingbei, twenty or thirty minutes late is not late. Besides, it's not a formal occasion, and pretty girls still have the privilege of being late. Mu Ming smiled and said, "Miss Zhao came by car." ”
"Oh, yes, by car. Zhao Li Yingqiang said with a smile. She just casually found a reason, how can there be a car. But the boast of himself has to be rounded.
At the same time, Mu Ming secretly said in her heart that with Xiao Zhao's current income, she should not be able to buy a car, that is the car that the company allocated to her. I didn't expect Hairun to be so generous, and even the little actors in the fourth and fifth lines also have cars. Tsk, what a!
They each sat down, and after a few polite words, neither of them spoke.
It's a bit awkward.
"Ahem......" Mu Ming coughed dryly, it's not a way to be so silent all the time, it's better to open your mouth and adjust the topic first.
"Producer Mu, let me say it directly. Before he could think about it, Xiao Zhao took a step forward and said: "Actually, I came today, first, I want to thank you and Teacher Yu Zheng for recommending me and giving me this opportunity, and second, I also want to ask you clearly, we didn't know each other before, why did you recommend me?"
"And ......" Zhao Liying gritted her teeth: "If you have any additional requirements, I'm sorry, I don't want this role." After saying that, he leaned back and breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had just accomplished a very brave thing.
Mu Ming: "......"
Mu Ming felt like she was a dog! What's the situation, but he has always behaved with etiquette and obedience, and even put away his usual laziness and complaints, okay, why is he looked at like this? "Extra requirements"? This word is really civilized, doesn't it mean that he wants unspoken rules?
The point is, if I really think about it, it's fine, but I've always been pure in my mind from the beginning, okay?
What about trust between people?
"Girl!" Mu Ming forcibly held back her feeling of beeping the dog, and said, "It seems that this is the first time we have met, do you have any misunderstanding about me?"
"Misunderstanding?" Xiao Zhao's eyes widened: "You said, we didn't know each other before, why did you give me the opportunity to be the number one girl." ”
"Because, I think you have the right image. Mu Ming said as a matter of course: "The original female number one actor in this play took over another play, and Mr. Yu Zheng said that he was looking for a new female number one, I remembered that your image was suitable, and I had just starred in his play, so I recommended you." ”
"Have you seen my role before?" Zhao Liying asked suspiciously. recalled the dramas he filmed, how come it doesn't look like a drama that a boy of Mu Ming's age would like?
"Of course. Wen Yan in "Lock Qingqiu", Xing Xiuyan in "New Red Mansion", and Qing Gege in "New Returning Pearls". My mom really likes your role as Qing Gege, and she told me several times, so I wrote it down. Mu Ming said the information she had read before without changing her face.
Don't be funny, just hearing the name of these dramas, Mu Ming doesn't have the slightest desire to watch them. However, it is true that Mu's mother has watched "New Pearl", although it is only half an episode, Mu Ming is not completely lying.
"That's right. Zhao Liying didn't expect Mu Ming to really be able to speak, and suddenly her voice became a little weaker. But then, Yi continued to return to a state of suspicion: "That...... So why did you choose this hotel to meet?"
"What's wrong with this hotel?" Mu Ming said with a blank expression. It's a high-end hotel with five stars, and it's sad to hear that the staff is so disgusted, okay?
"Hotel!" Xiao Zhao's small round face puffed up: "There are so many serious coffee shops outside to meet, why choose the café in the hotel." What are you thinking about that no one else knows?"
"Uh......" Mu Ming was silent for more than ten seconds, smashed her mouth and said: "That, have you ever thought about a situation where I chose to meet in the café of the hotel, maybe because I happened to live in this hotel?"
