The car twists and turns down the hill.

The snow-covered white scene in the suburbs gradually fell behind the sight, the car drove onto the main road, the snow was not deep, the driver began to step on the accelerator and gallop, and the famous downtown in the southwest was not far away.

Arriving at the territory of the British Concession, Rao is Huo Chengquan has a deep background, and he can't bring more of his own people in without authorization, he instructed his subordinates to wait at the junction, considering that Ning Die was there, so he agreed to follow up with a car.

It is said that in order to highlight the British military exploits, Paris specially sent a famous architect to participate in the design, in order to reflect the concept of combining China and the West, a pair of stone lions were added in front of the Roman column of the gold-lacquered Watanabe, just like the relationship between the British Concession and the southwest, and it was nondescript to maintain harmony.

Huo Cheng stepped out of the car, and then stretched out his hand to help Ning Die down, the two stood still, Mr. Billy, the head of the British Concession, was standing on the steps, and on both sides were guards with blond hair and blue eyes in red and white uniforms.

Mr. Billy is tall and large, a typical figure of a Western man, with a brown beard densely occupying his square chin, and when he met Huo Cheng, his eyebrows and eyes were relaxed, and he took the lead in stretching out his arm and shaking hands in a friendly manner.

Ning Die looked up, and Mr. Anru, who she hadn't seen for several years, stood next to the assistant behind Mr. Billy, standing out in a group of foreigners.

In fact, since she got out of the car, Anru has kept her head bowed with a weak heart.

A few years ago, the little woman with long hair, immature appearance, and wearing a faded school uniform now stood in front of him, wearing a fox fur coat to show that she was slender and well-proportioned, reserved and noble, and the long hair of the shawl was also cut short into fluffy short hair, and a melon seed face became smaller and smaller, and the translucent eyes were full of beauty.

She completely turned into a big girl with a good appearance, and more importantly, the person standing next to her turned out to be Huo Cheng.

If she met in the past and today, Ning Die would have been happy, but after Lin Laiyu's incident, her respect for Teacher Anru disappeared, and she didn't squint, as if Anru was a ball of air.

Mr. Billy invited them to go inside, and had a very pleasant conversation with Huo Cheng.

Ning Die heard Huo Cheng speak English for the first time, the standard British pronunciation, and the mellow voice made every word he said like a bass key on a piano key, and his voice was deep and steady.

She was slightly surprised, Huo Cheng can speak English?

So how could Ning Zheng be his translator?

Maybe it's this world, Ning Die thought about it, and didn't feel strange again.

After all, the cell is full of yin qi, and it is not appropriate for a woman to go in, Huo Cheng asked Ning Die to wait in the office of the person in charge with peace of mind, and he went there in person.

There were outsiders, even if Ning Die wanted to fly to Lin Laiyu's side immediately, she couldn't save Huo Cheng's face, she nodded, sat meekly, and in order to avoid her being bored, Billy's British assistant began to chat with her, and asked Anru to be the translator.

"Nothanks," Ning Die smiled slightly, glanced at An Ru, who was eager to show herself, and said in English to the British assistant that she had learned English at school.

A layer of sweat broke out on An Ru's forehead, and Ning Die was deliberately emptying his work at the moment.

At this time, if Ning Die expressed his dissatisfaction with him, with the shrewdness of the assistant, he would naturally not leave him.

Ning Die has a good insight, she deliberately uses a little girl's playful tone to talk to the assistant, more cheerful than the ordinary daughter, plus the assistant intends to talk, although the conversation between them is not very interesting, it is not lacking in atmosphere.

Someone came over and called the assistant to go over and deal with a copy, and only Ning Die and An Ru were left in the room all of a sudden.

Anru saw that no one came in, looked for the empty sofa next to Ning Die and sat down, and said uneasily: "I didn't expect that after a few years, Ning Die didn't recognize me as a teacher." ”

Ning Die was coldly silent, still pretending not to know.

It may be true that he turned her away at the beginning and chose Mingzhe to protect himself, but in Ning Die's memory, Teacher An was a person who fought bravely.

He should have thought about Ning Die's backbone a long time ago, and in the end, everyone was just a stranger.

Anru was embarrassed and didn't know what to say, and said after a long time: "Lin Laiyu's matter is actually to blame on your sister, she is afraid that you will affect my future, so she will not let me care, you say...... What do you say I should do......"

After speaking, he hid his face and made a helpless look of crying.

He didn't hear Ning Die's movement for a long time, so he raised his head and just met Ning Die's pair of eyes full of inquiry.

This woman is a hidden needle in the cotton.

An Ruqing coughed twice and stood up, consciously walked to the side and pestle, the footsteps outside were close, and the two British soldiers led the way to bring people in, and when they saw who it was, Ning Die rushed over and hugged the person, sniffed and said in a dumb voice: "Laiyu, I want to kill you." ”

"Oh, my eldest lady," a familiar voice, a familiar tone, Lin Laiyu complained, and her heart warmed, "I haven't taken a bath for three days, you don't smoke your nose!" ”

"You just stink, I like it."

"But you strangled me with a pain in my chest."

Ning Die hurriedly let go of her hand again, lest she hurt Lin Laiyu in case.

"Okay," Lin Laiyu looked at her frightened eyes, and said softly, "Didn't I come out safely, everything is fine, by the way, what about the military master who took me out?" ”

She turned back and asked again in English.

The British army said that Mr. Huo accompanied Mr. Billy to the pear orchard to watch the play.

Lin Laiyu was a pity and couldn't say thank you to Mr. Huo in person.

"Where did you move the rescuer, it looks like a dignified appearance, a jade tree in the wind, a pear flower pressing a begonia......" On the way out, Lin Laiyu still remembered Huo Cheng's beauty.

Ning Die couldn't help but feel good while coping, she was still worried about how to say goodbye to Huo Cheng before, but now she doesn't need to.

After the two of them left the British Concession under the escort of their subordinates, the four people who followed behind Ning Die said: "Thank you for your hard work, don't worry about me, you go back to General Huo first." ”

The four nodded and drove away.

Waiting for the car to disappear, Lin Laiyu took Ning Die's hand and asked, "I seem to have seen Teacher An, is that person Teacher An?" It felt very different from before, and I didn't say hello when I saw it. ”

As soon as Ning Die told her about coming to ask Mrs. An, Lin Laiyu was disappointed in An Ru, "Forget it, don't mention this person in the future, you tell me, what is the matter between you and Mr. Nahuo?" ”

As he spoke, he blinked his eyes, and waited for Ning Die to explain honestly.

Ning Die was dumbfounded, thinking carefully about how she met Huo Cheng in this life, and found that when she thought about it, there were some red-faced and red-eared pictures, and she couldn't say it anymore.

"Is it Miss Ning?" While they were talking, two young men in suits walked over to Ning Die, one of them was wearing glasses and looking at Si Swenwen, who was Ning Die who asked questions.

Ning Die looked at the visitor in confusion, "What's the matter with you?" ”

"That's right," the young man at the beginning said with a smile, "I'm Li Sheng, the general manager of Meichen's film and television company, and this one next to me is my secretary, I have a contract here, and I guess Miss Ning will be interested in reading it." ”

After speaking, he handed Ning Die a business card of his.

Mei Chen? The name is too familiar, Ning Die looked around, on the bluestone-paved avenue, the towering buildings on both sides, you can see Meichen everywhere - Meichen brand soap, Meichen car dealership, Meichen cheongsam shop, Meichen department store......

It turned out that there was still Meichen Film and Television, and then Ning Die realized, nodded and said: "It turns out that Mr. Chen Yueming is now even going to get a piece of the entertainment industry." ”

Li Sheng smiled gently and lifted his round glasses, "If Miss Ning is willing to appreciate her face, it is better for Li to be the east, and invite the two of you to the coffee shop to talk." ”

Ning Die shook her head, she had just told Aunt Lin Laiyu about her illness and hospitalization on the way to the rental world, and she was now in a hurry to accompany Lin Laiyu to the hospital.

Moreover, Chen Yueming and Huo Cheng have a very shallow relationship, so Ning Die naturally can't have more contact with Mei Chen.

Li Shengxu was in a hurry, ignoring the large number of people on the street, he directly stopped Ning Die and said: "Miss Ning, as long as you sign this contract, you will have a salary of twenty-five oceans per month, and the work arrangement will not affect your studies. ”

It seemed that the other party had done enough homework to invite her, and Ning Die was apologetic, "No, I do have something important right now." ”

"Miss Ning," Li Sheng seemed to be out of the way, if the funds were not in place, then the actors who had negotiated with him before could only face termination, he said, "Doesn't Miss Ning owe General Huo a hundred yuan?" If you have these twenty-five oceans per month, you will definitely be able to pay it off in a few months, and I guarantee that I asked you to sign a contract with Mei Chen It is Mr. Chen's intention alone, and it has absolutely nothing to do with General Huo. ”

When Ning Die heard this, she paused, as if she was thinking, and as if she was hesitating.

Even a celebrity like Xue Xue'er, it is said that the monthly salary given to her by Lexing is only about 100 yuan, and she is not well-known, but the person who has run two tricks has a monthly salary of 25 yuan, which is indeed a deep welfare.

Li Sheng made persistent efforts, "Mr. Chen respects your choice, and Mr. Chen said that he would never interfere in the private affairs between you and General Huo." ”

Ning Die took the contract, looked at it, and made sure that what Li Sheng said was true, but why did she have to sign her, Ning Die raised her eyes, "I can sign it now, but the premise is that I want to advance the first month's salary." ”

Anyway, pay off the money and think again.

Li Sheng hurriedly handed over the pen, Ning Die scribbled the word "Ning Die" behind the traditional Chinese characters arranged in a regular manner, at this time she only thought about how to pay off Huo Cheng's arrears, and then she didn't have to meet, but she didn't know that this paper contract completely pushed her life to another trajectory, and since then, the film industry in the southwest has entered the heyday of a hundred flowers.

However, after Ning Die signed the contract at this time, she just said goodbye to Li Sheng after taking the money, stopped a rickshaw with Lin Laiyu, and hurried to the hospital.

Lin Laiyu knew that her good sister was going to enter the film industry, half happy and half sad, Ning Die's temperament was too soft, she was afraid that Ning Die would be bullied.

It's better to sign Meichen herself, she thought about it like this, and secretly made a decision in her heart.

On the day I went to visit Li Feng, Li Feng was also discharged from the hospital, this disease was a heart disease, how could there be no reason for her daughter not to heal when she came back, the two families went home and gathered together to celebrate at a table for dinner, Li's mother also specially bought firecrackers and put them downstairs a few times, one is to go to obscurity, and the other is to welcome joy.

At the dinner table, Li Feng frequently served Ning Die vegetables, and said with a smile: "Thanks to Ning Die this time, otherwise our family Laiyu would have to suffer." ”

Ning Die lowered her head embarrassedly, it was actually her who involved Lin Laiyu.

"Oh, Mom, Ning Die is thin-skinned, if you continue to boast, she won't be able to eat." Lin Laiyu knew that her good sister was guilty, and she solved the siege in a timely manner.

Li Feng said hello a few times, then ate a few chopsticks and dishes, and suddenly asked: "Eh, Ning Die, what are you trying to do to save our family Laiyu?" ”

This question, all of them looked at Ning Die.

Even Lin Laiyu was curious, how did this Mr. Huo and Ning Die meet.

"I ......" Ning Die couldn't answer, knowing her daughter Mo Ruomu, Su Mei said, "It must be some kind of friend to help, Xiao Fluttershy is not easy to explain in detail, by the way, cotton has risen this year, and it is a few dimes more expensive to make a quilt than last year." ”

"It's not," Li Feng's attention was distracted, "Now that prices are rising all over the country, while you have plenty of money, you have to buy everything you need first." ”

……

Ning Die was worried that the topic was finally over.

In the afternoon, while the post office was not closed, Ning Die took the ocean given by Li Sheng to go out, she put the money in a bag, wrote Huo Cheng's office address, thought about it, left another line of words, and then handed it to the service lady and asked her to deliver it three days later.

Walking out of the gate of the post office, Ning Die breathed a breath of cold air, suddenly felt refreshed, she stood under the one-person high British street lamp, looked up at the snowflakes that began to fall in the sky, slowly stretched out her arms, the light snow fell on the palm of her hand, turned into cold water stains, she smelled, as if she could smell the refreshing fragrance from it.

Three days later, Ning Die was on the train heading south.

The weather in the southwest was cloudy and sunny, the day before yesterday it was clear, but it snowed again, and this morning it was just clear, and the snow came again.

Because of Lin Laiyu's matter, Huo Cheng accompanied Mr. Billy to visit the famous dance halls and theaters in the southwest in order to repay the favor in the past two days, and he couldn't spare time to ask Ning Die's current situation for a while.

He sat behind his desk, the snow was pouring outside, and the secretary knocked on the door and handed him a heavy envelope.

Seeing only Ning Die's name, Huo Cheng had already rarely smiled in front of his subordinates, and even shook the envelope childishly.

Rattle.

What will it be? What is his Ning Die going to give him?

Huo Cheng's hand when he opened the envelope trembled with excitement, and when this extra-large envelope was opened, he saw a sea of white flowers.

He poured out the ocean, shook it again, and a thin, small piece of paper floated out tremblingly.

When I picked it up, it was written in Juanxiu's handwriting—

"Mr. Huo, there are twenty-five oceans here, but you don't need to accompany you on the twenty-fifth day. Don't read it. ”

Huo Cheng's face turned ugly.
