"Director Lin," Li Xiaoxue almost mustered up the courage of her life, and she was desperate, raised her head, and opened her mouth like this, "I have indeed encountered some trouble and need money." My salary, you see, can you advance a part of it to me? ”

Director Lin's eyeballs swayed from side to side twice like an old-fashioned pendulum, and it seemed that he gasped again: "This ......"

"Director Lin," Li Xiaoxue, who had already opened her mouth, just took a breath, "Don't worry, I will definitely redouble my efforts to shoot the next scenes better!" ”

Director Lin's brows tightened slightly.

"Director Lin," Li Xiaoxue pleaded, "It's really not good, it's just me and the crew who borrowed it." I write an IOU, and when the time comes, I will definitely pay it back, even if it comes with some interest. ”

"Hey," Director Lin shook his head, completely misunderstood Li Xiaoxue, and said embarrassedly, "It stands to reason that I should be obligated to have such a mouth with me, but you really don't understand, you think that I, as a director, am in charge of all affairs, but in fact, I am also a part-time worker." All the expenses in the crew are all in the producer's pocket. ”

"Producer?" Li Xiaoxue also felt that she had found the wrong door.

"Not bad." Director Lin's voice was a little more relaxed, "All the filming funds for our drama are produced by the producer. ”

"Where is the producer now?" Li Xiaoxue asked, and couldn't help but take a look into the room with her eyes, as if the producer could ask her to see it like this.

"He just isn't in the country right now." Director Lin said with some regret.

"I," Li Xiaoxue obviously sank down, still making a final effort, "Director Lin, can I contact him?" ”

"With all due respect," Director Lin said solemnly with a little apology, "If you really contact him, it will be difficult to achieve the results you want." This kind of thing has happened before, but he has rejected it. ”

Li Xiaoxue was a little puzzled: "Why? It's just an advance. ”

Director Lin smiled slightly with bitterness: "Everyone has their own ideas. What investors value more should be, or returns. Now, it's really not easy for film and television dramas to make some money. Like you, there is a fixed salary, what about me, and some people in the crew, all rely on dividends, whether there is money to earn or not, let's talk about it. ”

Li Xiaoxue's heart was cold.

"What's the trouble you're in?" Director Lin was full of concern again, "Maybe, I can help you." ”

Li Xiaoxue lowered her head again, and the cool white in her hand opened, creating a circle of tiny ripples in the cup.

"How much money do you need?" Director Lin asked more clearly.

"Five hundred thousand." Li Xiaoxue's voice was so small that she could almost only hear it.

"Half a million?" Although Director Lin heard such a number clearly in his ears, he still thought that he had heard it wrong.

Li Xiaoxue nodded lightly.

Director Lin originally thought that what Li Xiaoxue said would only be 180,000, after all, he could really prepay all the salary, at most, more than 200,000.

"Can you tell me what you need so much money for?" Director Lin asked seriously.

Li Xiaoxue listened to Director Lin's words, and seemed to have the intention of lending her money,—— 500,000 yuan, she felt that for a director Lin who had been a director for more than 20 years, it should be nothing,—— so she said: "A friend of mine wants to hold a personal art exhibition, and he needs some funds." ”

"A friend?" Director Lin never thought that an ordinary friend would embarrass Li Xiaoxue like this, "I guess it's good, it's not a friend in the general sense, right?" ”

"Yes," Li Xiaoxue hesitated again, and said honestly, "boyfriend and girlfriend." ”

Director Lin nodded slowly, and then asked, "Why does an art exhibition cost so much money?" How much is it worth? ”

Li Xiaoxue opened her mouth and closed it again.

- In this case, it turns out that it is more difficult to talk than opening your mouth and asking people for money.

Seeing that Li Xiaoxue wanted to speak and stopped, Director Lin probably understood a little, sighed in his heart for the current fame, and said to Li Xiaoxue: "It is said that I should come to help you with this favor." However, a person has a person's difficulty. ”

Speaking of difficulties, Li Xiaoxue also agrees that everyone has it, but Director Lin can't get some money out of her hands, and she really can't believe it. It's just that, after all, there is a request for others, and it is righteous for people to help with this, and it is also a duty not to help, but it is not worth being unhappy or blamed. So, she gently put the water cup in her hand on a coffee table in front of her.

"Xiao Li," Director Lin saw that Li Xiaoxue had the intention of leaving, and hurriedly said, "I still have 200,000 yuan on hand, if you don't think it's too meager, just take it to deal with it first." ”

Li Xiaoxue knew that the 200,000 yuan figure that Director Lin said was also her salary. Thinking about Director Lin's concerns about himself, he didn't feel good in his heart.

However, at this time, it was money, and it was like a lifesaver for her. When a person's life needs to be saved, will they mind anything?

Li Xiaoxue's gratitude, emotionally, couldn't show anything, so she could only say in her mouth: "Great grace is not grateful." Director Lin, don't worry, this money, even with interest, I must not be able to miss you. ”

Director Lin only smiled, and smiled extremely unnaturally.

Li Xiaoxue was slightly stunned before she suddenly realized: "Director Lin, I'll write you an IOU." ”

"Good, good!" Director Lin said, took a notebook, and handed it to Li Xiaoxue.

……

Li Xiaoxue got a loan from Director Lin, and just called Director Feng 100,000 yuan as she said on the phone.

And after the 100,000 hit Director Feng's card, an inexplicable feeling lingered in her heart.

Little by little, she felt like she was sinking into a pit. I don't know how deep this pit is, but it just makes her sink down constantly.

And the money that was sent to Curator Feng seemed to have only become a simple string of numbers. This number, if it becomes longer, she doesn't seem to find it alarming, although it requires her to pay so heavy and so much.

She stepped out of the bank door and looked at the bustling pedestrians and vehicles on the street, as if she had lost something, her eyes were full of confusion.

She suddenly didn't know where she was going.

- "If you don't come back now, don't come back!" ”

Zhong Youcheng's voice on the phone rang in her ears again.

Ringing over and over again.

Her tears drooped down two more times, and after that, she thought of Li Mu.

"Mom." She called out in her heart, and if she wasn't on the street, she was about to cry loudly.

She wanted to go back to Li's mother so much, she really didn't know how she was in the first place, so she insisted on embarking on such a road,—— insisting on something blindfolded her, something was pulling her.

And one side of her face was still swollen. Such a face, Li Mu will definitely find it at a glance. A mother, knowing that her daughter has been bullied like this, doesn't she want to fight for her life? Although she didn't really become a mother, a pregnancy had already made her sacrifice everything for her "daughter" in the womb.

How could she still let her mother break such a heart for her again?

Zhong Youcheng said that others slapped her in the face as if they had slapped their own face, more often, just out of face considerations.

And her mother is the person in this world who really loves her from the bottom of her heart.

- Her mother couldn't see her hair and skin, and was slightly damaged.

But for the sake of the emotions that many people are not optimistic about, she is still deceiving Li's mother.

A gust of cold wind blew on her face, and she walked slowly down the street, walking......

After Cao Yingying took the memory card containing Zhong Youcheng's "incriminating evidence" into her hand, her mind was like a mess.

How things got to this point, she really didn't know how to figure it out.

She seems to be manipulating something in the whole affair, and at the end of the day, she's just a card in someone else's hand.

To put it more bluntly, she played a trick on Xiao Zijun.

When Xiao Zijun signed such a "contract" with her, in fact, he did not put her on an equal footing.

At that time, she was not unguarded, and her increasingly hot emotions for Han Haitao made her unable to control it.

She thought that as long as Li Xiaoxue left Han Haitao completely, she would always have at least half of the chance.

Especially when she was studying, she always took "where there is a will, there is a way" as the motto, she felt that things are done by people, and people will win the day.

Although the relationship is a matter of two people, as the so-called sincerity goes, the gold and stone are open, Han Haitao's heart is still flesh and blood in the end, as long as she is sincere, she is always expected to get her favorite good fate.

Of course, if it wasn't for the emotional rift between Li Xiaoxue and Han Haitao first, she would only give blessings and only bury her love deep in her heart.

At this point, she can't say that she doesn't have her own responsibility, although she feels that she only played some role as a catalyst in the breakup of Li Xiaoxue and Han Haitao.

Since it is also the end of the breakup, of course, she hopes that Li Xiaoxue and the two of them will cut through the mess quickly and be happy. But in fact, it's so tangled.

It's not that she has some selfishness, just as Li Xiaoxue's friend, several times, she really can't look down on it.

Good or bad, clean and neat, the injury is limited, the chopping is constant, the reason is chaotic, hurting others and hurting oneself, it will only cause all kinds of unbearable. When Li Xiaoxue and Han Haitao were breaking up, when she didn't try the love in her heart, she didn't just target Li Xiaoxue or Han Haitao, but thought that all the love and love in this world should be based on this principle.

It's not that she has also tasted the torment of her heart and intestines during this period of time, she really thinks that she is a person who can afford to take it and let it go.

The lovesickness that used to be bitter finally turned into the current liver and intestine pain, and she knows better what her emotions are like.

If she can let go,—— even if it is only superficial,—— if she can enter her mother's dream marriage, she may not get real happiness, and in addition to real happiness, she should be able to get a lot of enviable things.

There is no one who will not calculate such an account. It's not that she doesn't understand, but she can't let go of Han Haitao.

can't be with Han Haitao, give her silk and satin, she can't dress comfortably, can't be with Han Haitao, give her delicacies and seafood, and she can't eat sweet.

can't be with Han Haitao, she only feels that she is a living dead, and anything meaningful in this world is boring to her.

And the man she loves, the whole soul is only concerned about a Li Xiaoxue,—— a heart that Li Xiaoxue is stuffed with, and there is no place for her to occupy at all.

If you love someone, you can really love like this. After she tasted it, she understood Han Haitao better.

- If she also complains about Han Haitao, she also complains about herself even more.

It was she who fell in love with someone she shouldn't love, it was she who signed a "contract" that she shouldn't have signed, she wanted to burn it all down, and she really couldn't do it. These two things should not have abandoned the former, caused her to lose her emotions, overthrew the latter, discredited her, and almost fatal to her.
