"I heard Mr. Zhao say that you are now the secretary of the county party committee of Qingquan? You have been promoted really fast, congratulations, I wish you to rise step by step in the future and go to the next level. Xu Lan said to Liu Weiming with a drink.

"Thanks, I was just lucky. You are different, when you were in Lin Yang, you were just a little girl who didn't understand the world, and she was stubborn. And now, look at the famous big star, the best female singer in the Chinese music scene, the best newcomer female singer, and the most popular female singer. It can only be described as a miracle, and honestly, I'm quite happy for you. Liu Weiming said after taking a sip of wine.

"How do you know? In my memory, the last thing you like is those things in the entertainment industry. I remember that you don't even know who Andy Lau's wife Zhu Liqian is, how can you know so much about the recent events in the Chinese music scene?" Xu Lan asked a little surprised, she remembered the first time she met Liu Weiming and made a bet with Liu Weiming. As a result, Liu Weiming gave her a question of who gave Liu Weiming the water of forgetfulness. As a result, Xu Lan said that it was Zhu Liqian, and Liu Weiming asked who Zhu Liqian was. I couldn't help but smile.

Liu Weiming also remembered this, smiled noncommittally, and then said: "I heard Zhao Jun talk about you last time, and he said that you are very popular now. Later, when I was fine, I went to the Internet to look at your information, and I didn't know it, but I was really shocked when I saw it. said that the three most heavyweight awards in the Chinese music scene this year were all won by you alone. ”

"I also rely on luck, if it weren't for your help and Mr. Zhao's support, I wouldn't have the results I have now. Xu Lan smiled a little shyly this time.

"Yes, I'm getting more and more talkative now. Liu Weiming smiled, and then everyone began to eat.

After eating dinner and playing for a while, Xu Lan got up and said goodbye. Zhao Jun hurriedly asked Liu Weiming to send Xu Lan. Liu Weiming was extremely depressed. He is from other places, although he has been in Beijing for a long time, but now he is a guest, and Xu Lan has his own car, while Liu Weiming does not have a car. Liu Weiming didn't know how to send it. However, Zhao Jun said that Liu Weiming had no choice but to send Xu Lan to the courtyard.

Xu Lan walked in front, and Liu Weiming followed behind Xu Lan casually smoking a cigarette. Xu Lan took out the key and pressed it, opened the car door, turned back to Liu Weiming and said, "How long have you not had a good visit to Beijing?"

"It's been a long time. When I was studying, I had to go to school and go out to earn my own money, so I didn't have much time to squander. Later, I also came to Beijing once, but it was just work, so I couldn't go around the city of Beijing. It must have been a few years. Liu Weiming thought for a while and said.

"Do you want to take a look around the city of Beijing? Beijing has changed quite a lot in the past two years. Xu Lan said to Liu Weiming with a smile, with a hint of expectation in her eyes.

"But... I don't have a car, it's not easy to come back, it's so late. Liu Weiming said writhingly.

"I'll send you back, do you want to go?" Xu Lan said directly.

"Well, it's good to go and see Beijing, after all, I've been here for a while. Liu Weiming saw Xu Lan's high spirits, and had no way to refuse, so he got into Xu Lan's car by himself.

Xu Lan also got into the car and drove directly out of the door of Zhao Jun's house. Out of the door, Liu Weiming suddenly found that there were still a few soldiers in camouflage uniforms not far from the villa. It is estimated that the old man was really afraid that Zhao Jun would seize this opportunity and run away, so he kept a hand. Liu Weiming smiled wordlessly, he was completely sure, he could believe that Zhao Jun would not run away from marriage again this time, thinking that Zhao Jun wanted to escape to Africa, Liu Weiming felt very funny.

"How are you doing lately?" Liu Weiming put his hands under his head, leaned back on the chair, and asked Xu Lan lightly.

"It's not bad, it's just like that, it's more comfortable than when I was in Linyang, after all, I now have a certain financial ability so that my family doesn't have to work hard for money anymore. In addition, singing is also my favorite job, although the commercial nature of singers is very strong nowadays, but as long as you personally regard it as an art, it is art, and commercial art is also an art, no. Xu Lan smiled slightly. "As for the question of whether it is a person, I have answered it thousands of times in front of the media, but sometimes I tell lies. To be honest with you today, I am indeed alone. I think it's a good life to be alone, and I don't have the idea of finding a partner for the time being. In addition, there is an agreement with the company. I can't talk about a boyfriend for five years, at least not to be found out by the outside world that I have an affair with that man. ”

"Is there still this in your agreement?" Liu Weiming was slightly surprised, he had never paid attention to things in the entertainment industry, so it was the first time he had heard of such a thing.

"It's a very common thing. The company also thinks about its own interests. Once it is rumored that you are having an affair with a man, it will affect your reputation and influence. It doesn't matter to me, I don't have any plans to find someone yet, so whatever the company does. Xu Lan said it didn't matter.

"Xu Lan, are you really happy in the entertainment industry? I think your personality should not be suitable for this circle in the entertainment industry," Liu Weiming thought for a while and said.

"How?"

"I know a friend who is also in your circle. According to what she said, the entertainment industry is a dirty world. It's shady everywhere, it's unspoken rules everywhere. Mercenary. Everyone, friends, I'm afraid you can't stand this world. Liu Weiming said with a little concern.

"Actually, it's nothing, I only obey the company's arrangement for me. I don't pay attention to the rest of the activities and socializing, so relatively speaking, I haven't encountered any unspoken rules. That's it, there are many people who start to complain about me, but I don't care. I just want to sing quietly, if one day they insist that I can't sing, I will go back to Linyang, anyway, the money I make now can be enough for me and my family to live comfortably and carefree for the rest of our lives. So I don't care about anything. To put it bluntly, I came to sing mainly for my own interests and money. Fame was something I hadn't thought of. Xu Lan said very freely.

thought of Fan Binbin, and then thought of Xu Lan. Liu Weiming felt that this was a person who was close to two extremes. As far as Liu Weiming is concerned, he likes Xu Lan's character and attitude more, but as far as society is concerned, Fan Binbin's personality and attitude will mix better and be closer to success. Liu Mingxiang guessed that Xu Lan might be able to become a smash hit, but it would definitely not be very long-term, because the entertainment industry is sometimes like officialdom, and people who can't integrate into this circle will eventually be marginalized.

"Yes, I appreciate your attitude. It is really a thing to lose more than you gain for the sake of fame and fortune. Where can I see?" said Liu Weiming, opening the window and lighting a cigarette.

"Just hang out, I just want to talk to you. It's been a long time since I've talked to a friend. Besides, you are still my great benefactor. Xu Lan said with a smile while playing the steering wheel.

"Don't talk about the benefactor anymore, it's a big deal. It's just your own strength that you can have today. Liu Weiming really didn't want to hear Xu Lan say thank you anymore, he had goosebumps when he heard it.

"It's a small thing for you, but it's a big thing for me. You know, without your help, I would have lost my father and sister. Xu Lan said very seriously this time.

"What do you mean?" Liu Weiming didn't turn a corner for a long time.

"My parents have two daughters and I have a younger sister. My family was unfortunate because my mother died when I was fifteen years old. Do you remember when I promised Xie Jianguo to accompany you last year? At that time, my father had just been diagnosed by the hospital and had pre-cancer. I had to pay for the surgery right away, so that's why I had that time when I didn't hesitate to sell my body. But I was lucky enough to meet you, not only did I not let money pollute my body, but I also got your help. It was thanks to your money that my dad was able to complete the surgery and was able to move on to the next step of treatment. Later, you recommended me to Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao was very good to me, always supported me, maybe God helped me too, I quickly became famous and made a lot of money. I took my dad to Beijing for treatment, and now he just needs to go for chemotherapy regularly. Half a year ago, my sister was diagnosed with leukemia, ha, if it is for people who have no money, this is a terminal disease. I spent a lot of money on treatment, and finally I spent a lot of money on a matching bone marrow. The bone marrow transplant has been successfully completed and my dad and my sister are now in good health. If it weren't for the first time I met you, my body would have become dirty, if it wasn't for that time, my father would have missed the best time for treatment, and the cancer cells would have been waiting for death as soon as they spread. If you hadn't helped me introduce me to Mr. Zhao, I wouldn't have this opportunity to make money, and I could only watch my father and sister disappear from me. What kind of kindness do you say for me?" Xu Lan said with tears in her eyes, and finally her hands trembled a little, and she parked the car directly on the side of the road and said slowly to Liu Weiming with tears in her eyes.

Liu Weiming didn't think that Xu Lan still had such a tragic story. Father has cancer and sister has leukemia. All the responsibilities of the family rested on the thin shoulders of the girl in front of them. Liu Weiming now finally knows the reason why Xu Lan did not hesitate to sell his body in the first place.

Liu Weiming smoked slowly, he admired Xu Lan more and more now, the pressure that a man could not bear was borne by a girl and herself.

"Why didn't you say it then? If you had sued me at the time, I could have helped you. Liu Weiming said.

"You've helped me enough. Besides, I am not related to you, so why should I ask you to help me? You helped me not only saved me but also saved my father. I still don't know how to repay my family for saving my life. ”

"Don't cry, you should be happy. At least your father and your sister are very healthy now, aren't they?" Liu Weiming looked at Xu Lan and said. Then he said: "I should help you, we are friends, and it is understandable for friends to lend a helping hand when they are in difficulty, right?"

Xu Lan nodded, wiping the tears from her eyes with a tissue.
