Chapter 3: Taken under his command
i.
Golden Bay.
When Xiao Jixi opened the door and walked into the living room, the housekeeper Aunt Ding happened to walk from the kitchen into the dining room with a plate of dishes. Aunt Ding saw Xiao Jixi and greeted her with a smile: "Miss is back." β
"Well, Aunt Ding, is the meal ready?" Xiao Jixi asked.
"It's all done, my wife is in the room, I'll go up and call her to dinner."
"No need Aunt Ding, I'll call it."
Xiao Jixi said and walked up the stairs, put the bag back in his room, and went out to his mother's room. The door of her room was not closed, and Xiao Jixi called as she entered the door: "Mom? β
But no one answered, she walked through the room, and there was no one in the bathroom and balcony. Just as she walked back past the desk, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of a dozen materials on the table, her eyesight was very good, and her eyes were 5.3, so the small word "Shao Yi" on the information clearly fell into her eyes.
Curious, she walked over and picked up the materials, which contained many photos of Shao Yi, in addition to introducing his basic information, as well as his company, current agent, and various recent activities and work projects.
Xiao Jixi's home is located in this villa area, Golden Bay, is the most luxurious real estate project of the Shanghai real estate giant Yuanzhong Group, because her mother, Ji Min, is one of the largest star-making factories in China, the president of Jixing Media.
Xiao Jixi frowned slightly, Shao Yi is not Ji Xing's artist, what is his mother doing when he checks him?
Could it be ...... She wants to take him under her command?
"Nozomi." Ji Min's voice came from behind him, Xiao Jixi turned around, and Ji Min walked in from outside the door with a quilt.
"Mom, why did you go?" Xiao Jixi put down the information in his hand and asked.
Ji Min walked over and put the quilt on the bed, and said, "I'll change a thick quilt when it's cold, and I'll change a bed for you later." β
Xiao Jixi lowered his head and glanced at the information on the table again, and said, "Mom, are you checking Shao Yi?" β
"Well," Ji Min replied while fiddling with the quilt, "his contract with Lechuan is about to expire in February next year, and I'm trying to find a way to sign him." Such a powerful person only became popular at the age of twenty-nine, and the previous company was too bad at packaging. β
A hint of joy flashed in Xiao Jixi's eyes, and he said, "Mom, do you think he has the strength too?" β
"I watched his graduation performance and professional class results, they are very good, and the acting skills of those plays he acted in his early years can be certain, but I don't know what bad scripts he received, it seems that there are still fewer Bole in this world." Ji Min said and smiled.
"Well, Mom...... Do you want to be this Bole? β
"I don't count, the director of "The Legend of Nie Yun" is his Bole, I just open up a broader path for Maxima."
"Shao Yi is so popular now, how can Le Chuan release people so easily?"
Ji Min finally raised her face to look at Xiao Jixi, her lady-like face did not have many traces of time, and she seemed to be born with a sense of pride and confidence. She said softly: "Xiaoxi, Le Chuan is not worth mentioning compared to your mother's biography. β
Xiao Jixi also smiled, Ji Min has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and she has never missed what she can do.
"Oh yes," Ji Min suddenly remembered something and said, "How is your entry into the TV station?" β
"I auditioned last week, and the results haven't come out yet."
Hearing her say this, Ji Min was a little unhappy, and said, "Shouldn't you tell me with certainty, with your strength, you would have completely crushed them a long time ago?" β
Xiao Jixi was stunned for a moment, then smiled lightly and said, "Yes, Mom, there must be no problem, you just wait for the result." β
Ji Min looked at Xiao Jixi as if admiring his masterpiece, and slowly spoke: "My daughter is so beautiful, be a good host, follow her mother into the film and television industry, I guarantee that you will be able to surpass Chu Ting before you graduate." β
Xiao Jixi smiled helplessly, walked over and put his hand on Ji Min's shoulder, and pushed her out of the door: "Okay, Mom, let's go down and eat." β
ii.
Dinner.
In the huge dining room, on the square French carved dining table, there has been a dinner for only two people for many years.
Soon after the meal, Xiao Jixi asked Ji Min: "Mom, you called me back tonight, do you have something to tell me?" β
Ji Min didn't answer quickly, she slowly chewed the fish in her mouth before she said lightly: "Your father, I'm getting married, and I want you to go over to attend his wedding." β
Xiao Jixi's action of picking up vegetables paused.
Her father, Xiao Yuanshan, is the heir of the Xiao Group in the business world, and the proud son of the sky. Her mother, Ji Min, is the most favored youngest daughter of the Ji family, who is also in the same situation. Twenty years ago, the wedding of the century held by the two of them also caused a sensation in Shanghai, which was the envy of everyone.
Of course, it is no secret that the marriage between the two of them is a family marriage between the Xiao family and the Ji family.
Before getting married, Ji Min knew that Xiao Yuanshan had a beloved first love, and she said frankly to him, I don't love you, and you don't love me, we just dedicated ourselves to our own family.
But this emotionless marriage finally came to an end after the death of the grandmother of the Xiao family, who pointed out the marriage for the two of them. After the two divorced, Xiao Yuanshan shifted the focus of his career to Europe, when was the last time Xiao Jixi saw her father, she didn't remember it.
Xiao Jixi put a chopstick dish into his bowl, and pretended to be calm and said, "With whom?" Jane Lanxin? β
"Well," Ji Min said lightly, not seeing any emotion, "In Paris, on the 18th of this month, if you want to go, he is ready to arrange a ticket for you." β
Regarding Jian Lanxin, when her parents divorced at the age of sixteen, Ji Min had already sued her all. Growing up in such a family, she understood the meaning of family marriage, but when this happened to her parents so really, she really felt the pain and helplessness. She had wondered with fear if she would be the next victim too.
Xiao Jixi lowered her head and focused on eating, she didn't seem to have any feelings, she said casually: "The next step should be an internship in a TV station, and there will be a lot of work at the end of the year, so there should be no time to pass." β
"Xiaoxi," Ji Min stopped his chopsticks and looked up at her, "What your father wants most should be your blessing, you are on the scene, this is very important to him." β
Her name, Xiao Ji Xi, Xiao Shi and Ji Shi, Xi is hope. When Ji Min sued her parents for a qiΔ, she suddenly felt that her name and even Cun ZΓ i were so ridiculous. There is no right or wrong in love, and she can't judge the complex emotional relationship between her parents, she is only annoyed that maybe the two of them have never considered what kind of ideological burden their children should bear in the future.
Does it matter, it's so important that after three years of divorce, he never came back to see her. If he doesn't love his wife, doesn't he love the daughter she has born to him?
After a while, Xiao Jixi slowly replied, "I'll think about it again." β
Ji Min looked at her quietly for a while before moving his chopsticks to continue eating.
iii.
In the evening, Chen Yanran called Xiao Jixi, and after connecting, the first sentence shouted loudly: "Xixi! I have already gotten a ticket for Shao Yi's press conference! β
Even Huying's can get it, and she is really powerful. Every year at the Shanghai Film Festival, the tickets for all colleges and universities in Shanghai are 20 yuan with student ID cards, and 30 yuan for tickets with Shanghai student ID cards.
"However, you also know the relationship between our school and Huying, I still have to get two student IDs at that time, and I must really pretend to be a student of Huying, if it is found out that it is from Shanghai, people will definitely be kicked out!"
Xiao Jixi smiled here and said, "Okay, I don't know the tone of the Shanghai Film students yet?" Weibo profile is all the same'Hucheng Film Academy xx-level acting undergraduate, please contact xxxx......'"
"Hey, but seriously, the first time I saw you chasing stars, it really surprised me a little bit!" Chen Yanran began to tease her again.
Xiao Jixi quickly changed the topic and said, "I'll tell you something, keep it secret." β
"Nonsense, tell me quickly."
"My mother wants to sign Shao Yi."
βββwhatοΌοΌβ Chen Yanran couldn't help but roar, her brain turned fast, and she said everything Xiao Jixi wanted to say in one go, "Is Shao Yi's contract going to be favored by your mother?" Well done! Shao Yi used to be drunk in the broken company, but after changing Ji Min's big package for him, wow, my Yi's road to being an actor is getting closer and closer! β
Hearing her say this, Xiao Jixi vaguely felt a little uneasy, but he couldn't say why, so he had to divert his attention and tell her something else.
"One more thing, my dad...... I'm getting married, next month, in Paris. β
Chen Yanran was a little stunned: "...... So? β
"He asked me to come over to his wedding." Xiao Jixi said lightly.
"Oh, that's where you should go," Chen Yanran finished speaking, and seeing that Xiao Jixi didn't answer, she continued, "Your father cares about you so much, and he sends you so many good things from abroad every month, and everything is so attentive, isn't it?" β
So he thinks that these material "cares" are enough to maintain a father-daughter relationship.
Xiao Jixi pursed his lips and quickly said, "Don't talk about this, I've been at home on weekends for the past two days, and I'll see you in Shanghai on Monday." β
"Okay."
