Chapter 165: Victoria Harbour
Magnolia calmly treated He Maje's praise and smiled lightly as an answer.
He Ma couldn't understand Magnolia's resoluteness: "Why do you have to go back to the mainland, isn't it good to stay in Hong Kong? It's okay to go back, you can help me get the Shanghai branch up, and it's also in the mainland, so it's okay, right?"
Magnolia shook her head: "Thank you Mr. He for thinking so highly of me." Actually, I don't have that much ability, and I have seen a lot of wonderful people and things by chance in the past few months, and I am already very grateful, and I can't trouble you anymore. I need to be quiet and think about it and start over. ”
He Ma suddenly realized: "Ah! I understand, what you said about returning to the original point is actually ...... Do you want to go back to Hexiang County?"
Magnolia said hesitantly: "This is not decided yet, maybe it is Shanghai, maybe it is somewhere else." ”
He Ma looked at Bai Yulan and shook his head again and again: "Yulan, I think you have lived your life too restrained! Hey, forget it, let's talk back, we still have to go to the award ceremony tonight, do you want to change into a dress?"
"Outong...... Didn't Mr. Ou already refuse?"
"He just refused to be the cover, but he still gave us a ticket to the publishing house, I was invited, you two are reporters, you don't have any shooting tasks, you can sit in the guest seats. ”
Magnolia understood: "Oh, that's right. Then he said, "I don't have something to do tonight, so give the ticket to someone else." ”
"Why? I've already told Ou Tongyang's agent that you're going!" He Majesty showed great incomprehension.
Magnolia was resolute: "I really have something to do tonight, I'm sorry." ”
He Ma thought for a while, and suddenly his expression became a little ambiguous: "Understood......! Meeting him alone and enjoying the world of two, so you have to do some preparations, don't you? Okay, approved!"
Magnolia smiled slightly, noncommittal.
He Ma waved his hand and let Magnolia go, muttering there, "This admission ticket is difficult for people, there is no way to distribute it, who should it be given to?"
In the evening, Magnolia came to Victoria Harbour alone and wandered on the shore for a long time. Although she has been in Hong Kong for so long, she has never been. The bay shrouded in night is brightly lit and the water shadow is faint. Walking along the promenade, weaving among the crowds of tourists, and enjoying the laser spotlight music show make it easy to forget your loneliness and immerse yourself in the bustling world of fairy tales.
Gradually, I walked to the sparsely populated water's edge and sat down on a bench. The sound of music in the distance was no longer so clear, only the light reflected on the water was still strange and somewhat dazzling, reflecting a lone figure on the bench.
A man walked up to Magnolia's side and asked politely, "Can I sit down?"
Magnolia looked at the few empty benches next to her, and didn't want to be disturbed, but after all, this was a public facility, and there was no reason to refuse, so she didn't speak, neither in favor nor against. The man didn't wait for Magnolia's feedback, he sat down, and soon began to sigh: "It's so beautiful here, it's so quiet!
Magnolia knew he was talking to herself, but she didn't talk to him, when he didn't exist. She has encountered a lot of conversations, and the best way to talk if she doesn't want to continue is to be deaf, so that after a long time, people will naturally find it boring and will give up.
"You're traveling from the mainland, right? I'm a native of Hong Kong, but I have a good Mandarin teacher. Let me introduce you to Victoria Harbour, which is the third largest seaport in the world and one of the eight most beautiful coasts in China......"
Magnolia watched the water in front of her and listened silently. This person spoke quickly, and he was very familiar with the history of Victoria Harbour and Hong Kong, including the history of the Star Ferry Pier, which made Magnolia feel that this person should be a tour guide. Gradually, she felt like she was really in a tour group, she was one of the tourists, everyone sat on the bus, listened to the tour guide talk about the history of the scenic spot and the myths and legends that happened in the scenic spot, very happy, very excited, eager to see the legendary scenery.
Magnolia couldn't help but accosted: "I've heard of the Star Pier and read it in a book. ”
When the man saw that Magnolia had finally spoken, he was overjoyed: "Really? Which book?"
Magnolia remembered the book, but didn't want to say too much, just expressed gratitude: "That's not important. Thank you for introducing so much about the changes in Victoria Harbour and I learned a lot. ”
"Oh, you're so polite, I like to come here at night, sit on this chair, enjoy the lights and shadows in front of me, and then show off when I see people. If I met you today, that's fate, you say?"
Magnolia smiled: "Thank you!"
The man looked at Magnolia and asked, "You don't seem to be happy?"
Magnolia turned her head to look at him, this is a man in his 20s, dressed very casually, combing the now popular underneath is very short, almost exposing the scalp, but the top has very long hair, very similar to Yanqing, energetic, and a little ...... I don't know why, the word popped up in Magnolia's mind, yes, there was cunning in his eyes, that kind of inquiring look, which is not what a tour guide should have. This thought made Magnolia cautious, and she shook her head: "It's not unhappy. Can you tell us more about Victoria Mountain?"
The man's initial enthusiasm for the "tour guide" had waned somewhat, and he continued: "Are you really not unhappy? I came over there and saw you sitting in a chair, and I felt lonely and lonely. Someone like you should be sitting in the gym and attending the awards ceremony right now, isn't it?"
Magnolia asked rhetorically, "What ceremony?"
"Of course it's the award ceremony that Ou Tongyang attended! You won't say that you don't know Ou Tongyang, right?"
Magnolia took a deep breath, knowing that tonight's peaceful tour was over. She stood up and nodded politely to the man: "Thank you, I'm leaving, you can continue to appreciate it." ”
That Yu Ji knew that Magnolia had already recognized his identity, so he had to say in annoyance: "Can't you tell me something?" about you and Ou Tongyang...... he shouted at Magnolia's back, "Please tell me why you didn't go to the award ceremony, I know you have a ticket!"
Magnolia walked away.
It has been said that mediocre talents will not be noticed. In fact, not all of the people who are concerned are outstanding people, at least Magnolia thinks so, she has a very clear understanding of her attention, not because of her knowledge, not because of her family, not because of how good she is, but because she inadvertently stepped on the gold ladder and became a corner swept by the media, so she will not play a big name, nor will she complain, she wants to correct her mistakes and retreat to her own dirt road, that is her direction.
Magnolia chose the subway in the opposite direction of the hotel, and finally in a subway station, she saw that there was also one coming from the opposite side, she quickly ran over, adjusted the direction, and also got rid of the people who followed her, and couldn't help but feel a little proud. It's not that I hate tracking so much, I just want to avoid trouble.
The front door of the hotel is very lively today, with more people coming in and out than before. Magnolia went to the window and found that there were many people in the lobby, as well as reporters with "long guns and short cannons". She had to take a detour through the back door and quietly go upstairs.
The words of the two little girls at the top of the stairs caught her attention, "Tell me, which floor does the star you like live on?"
"Hehe, I won't tell you, but he's eating in the restaurant now, and I'll pretend to eat in a while. ”
"Nymphomaniac, you! Just finished eating, are you still eating? You are hopeless, staying in such an expensive hotel, just to see that little star, alas!"
"Big star, okay? I'll turn my face with you if you say that again! Talk a little about righteousness, quick, follow me......"
It seems that this hotel is very popular with celebrities, and when the party is over, there are celebrities staying here. Magnolia thought about it and didn't go back to her room, but slowly walked up the stairs to the top floor. It's a bit of a distance from the bustling downtown area, so you can barely see the stars. Downstairs is a small fountain garden, and there is a parking lot next to the garden, where it was once followed and photographed by the paparazzi. Magnolia smiled bitterly, the paparazzi in Hong Kong are indeed different from the media in the county, they are more dedicated. Every time the media in the county wants to interview and take pictures, they will greet you several days in advance, and often you wait for hours without seeing anyone, and then tell you that today's interview has been canceled, and they don't even say why. And now, in order to avoid the media, I have to get on the reverse subway, take the stairs, and run to the top floor without sleeping, waiting for them to leave, the contrast is really big.
Magnolia memorized Li Bai's poems over and over again for a long time, and finally found that some cars in the parking lot drove away one after another, and many of them were reporters. She moved her stiff limbs and headed for the stairs.
When he came to his floor, he turned a corner and suddenly found a person standing at the door of his room, and Magnolia hurriedly hid behind the wall. At a glance, she recognized that it was Ou Tongyang, although the corridor was dimly lit, although the distance was a little far, but she still recognized him at a glance, only him, the clothes were always so proper, the posture was always so upright, and the whole person was like a glow, making the surroundings feel warm.
Ou Tongyang didn't knock on the door, just stood quietly, looking at the house number, as if looking at it like this, the door would open.
Slowly, Magnolia felt that her legs were stiff, and she leaned herself against the wall, praying that Ou Tongyang would leave as soon as possible. She was so tired that she wanted to lie down and sleep quickly. She hoped that he would knock on the door quickly, and he would know that he was not in the room, and then leave quickly, but Ou Tongyang was standing there, not moving and not knocking. Magnolia couldn't hold on anymore and squatted down. Her legs were numb, so she had to stand up again, quietly glanced sideways, and found Ou Tongyang pacing back and forth in front of her room door.
