3. Chapter 3
The weather in March is getting warmer day by day, the temperature reaches 20 degrees, and the spring flowers are all blooming. After Gu Tingcheng came out of the hospital, he told Sister Hong that he was going to take a vacation, go out for a trip, turn off his mobile phone, carry a bag, and live in a small town for a few days.
In the past few days, he has not answered a single phone call, and he has not seen a single acquaintance. His mind is a little messy, and it takes time to get used to it, and it also takes time to think about his future path.
Just when he calmed down, he discovered a very strange thing, he couldn't tell whether the so-called previous life in his mind was really or just a dream. Later, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was a substantial difference between a person's life, at the end, and a dream.
It's just some fragments in my mind, when I experience it, it's very real, and after I experience it, it's just some glimpses, as if a day has passed, a year has passed, and then a lifetime has passed. This feeling made his will heavy, and the joy and helplessness of rebirth gradually dissipated, and all that came to his mind was happiness.
The courtyard where he lives is a family hotel, and there are such family-style hotels everywhere in the ancient city, because it is not a holiday, there are very few people in the ancient city, and few people see such good spring flowers.
Gu Qingcheng rarely travels, it turned out that he had no money to come out to play, but later he became a little famous, and it became inconvenient to come out to play. However, this review of Allure found a very interesting place, that is, the perception of how "red" he is.
He turned out to be popular suddenly, and then he entered the entertainment industry all of a sudden, it can be said that he was not psychologically prepared at all, because he began to be exposed constantly when he entered the entertainment industry, he could meet a bunch of fans wherever he went, and he participated in activities with flashing lights.
But now when he walked in the ancient city, he realized that even if he didn't wear sunglasses, no one recognized him. Later, he even had a bit of a psychological gap, and asked the noodle seller with a cool face: "Do you know me?" ”
The boss stared at him for a while: "Are you ......"
Gu Qingcheng was embarrassed and said, "It's nothing...... Or the same as yesterday, don't put chili peppers. ”
The boss laughed heartily: "It turned out to be an old customer, look at me, there are too many customers every day, I can't remember people." ”
The owner of this noodle shop actually regarded him as a regular customer, and the beef noodles specially put two more slices of beef for him. Gu Qingcheng drank the soup, sweating on his head. He didn't have the fire he thought he was, even now when he was popular. This realization made him unable to tell what it was like. Especially when he thought that it wouldn't be long before his Internet celebrity would fall as quickly as a meteor, and then everyone would betray and leave his relatives, ending up so tragically. Only then did he suddenly realize that even if life itself has no practical meaning, even if everyone is the same when they die, will the pain he suffered in the previous life have to be re-suffered now?
Sometimes a person works hard, not to live better than the average person, but not to live worse than the average person. What's more, he is not a saint, although he is cowardly and has some inferiority, he also has his own temper and hatred.
What's more, his biggest flaw is his strong possessiveness and jealousy that he doesn't want to admit. It was these two things that made him do the stupid thing of risking his life, and now that he has started again, he has not changed this. He can endure many things, but in love, he can't bear the slightest betrayal and humiliation, since he has tasted this pain in his previous life, there is no reason to taste it again in this life. Maybe he can even plan well, and if he sees through people's hearts, he may live a different future.
Thinking of this, Gu Tingcheng immediately retreated from the room and returned directly to N City with his bag on his back.
The first thing he did when he came back was to be criticized, and Mr. Yu said what he often said: "What I don't like the most is disobedient artists!" ”
Although Yu Qiang is a typical businessman, he doesn't look at people when he looks at money, but there is one thing, as long as you can make money, he can give you preferential treatment in all aspects, and he is willing to help you wipe your ass when you get into trouble, so there are only a few words of reprimand for him, so he asked him to hurry up to Sister Hong: "Hurry up and make up for the job you owe to me!" ”
Sister Hong naturally doesn't have a good face, she is a good person, but she has a bad temper, and she is even more impatient with newcomers like Gu Tingcheng, especially newcomers who are used to being obedient, and she relies on orders rather than negotiation at work. Gu Tingcheng listened honestly, Sister Hong saw that he was silent, he was still the same, and she felt a little helpless, the other party kept silent, and scolded herself until the end, she was a little embarrassed, and only said: "Have you rested enough, if you have rested enough, you will work for me!" ”
Gu Tingcheng kept running to announce, but there was no longer a little bit of the previous malaise, Sister Hong became happy, and said: "That's right, newcomers have to be diligent, I see that you intentionally or unintentionally wanted to your tail some time ago, you can think clearly, newcomers must not play big names, otherwise they will offend those reporters and editors, and they will kill you, and it will be difficult to turn over in the future." ”
Gu Tingcheng nodded: "I'll work hard with Sister Hong." ”
Because it is the popular period, his exposure is high, and he has not come down on the hot search, and he earns 10,000 gold every day. Sister Hong is very good at reading people, will grasp everyone's weakness, knowing that Gu Tingcheng has never seen a lot of money, so every day to report to Gu Tingcheng how much he has earned, and also gave him an online bank, every time after the account passes, there will be a text message notification, this time Gu Tingcheng is overjoyed, sweeping away the haze of the previous few days, sometimes waking up from a dream, he feels that the previous life is just a nightmare he had, and now he has gained fame and fortune, which is the peak of his life, and slowly seems to have really forgotten the things of the previous life, I want to live a more prosperous life now.
Speaking of which, he turned out to be a very positive person, although he was honest and responsible, but he was also a person who could live, and his personality was cheerful, he would self-comfort and self-hypnosis, and later he became more and more silent and inferior, which was also the result of many factors. Now that he has just entered the entertainment industry, every penny he earns is in his pocket, and he has not taken it out to buy a house for his family, and he has not yet known the woman Meng Dan, let alone Zhao Jingming, and all the things that made him sad in his previous life have not happened. As long as he lives well and learns to avoid evil like paramecium in junior high school biology textbooks, his life may be infinitely brilliant. Sister Hong gave him a plan for his future acting career, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Follow me and do it well, I will definitely make you a top superstar like Liu Yingying!" ”
Gu Tingcheng nodded: "It's all up to Sister Hong!" ”
The past is a dream, and he will not see any of the people who make him miserable. Thinking so, he suddenly heard Sister Hong say: "By the way, there is a matter, I want to secretly talk to you, you have to keep it secret for me." ”
Gu Qingcheng was stunned: "What's the matter?" ”
"The boss of Zhengyang Media wants to poach me, and secretly sent people to find me a few times, and the conditions are very tempting."
Gu Tingcheng's face turned pale, and he heard Sister Hong say: "I'm still thinking about this, I'll ask you, if I change jobs, would you like to follow me over?" I don't know if you know, the boss of Zhengyang Media admires you very much, and I have heard him praise you several times directly or indirectly. ”
The boss of Zhengyang Media, named Jiang Cheng, to be honest, has a really bad reputation.
In his last life, he seems to have seen this Jiangcheng once or twice, the first time he saw it seemed to be attending an event in a brand store, he didn't like to look at people, so he only had a vague impression, and then he saw him again in a KTV, it seemed to be a bureau, it was Sister Hong's appointment, he wanted to terminate the contract with Sister Hong at that time, and the relationship between them was not very good, and he couldn't say no, but in the end he couldn't remember why he went, and after that, he was alone and played with his mobile phone. Jiang Cheng also came over and asked him what he was playing, he was so engrossed. That time he had an impression. However, it was strange enough to say that this impression was strange enough, he found that Jiang Cheng had no fragrance at all.
The entertainment industry is a glamorous place, no matter whether it is a male star or a female star, there is always a perfume sprayed on the body, and there is no artist who does not wear makeup, plus a bunch of things sprayed on the head and body, all of them are fragrant. Sister Hong told him that in fact, perfumes are also different, each with its own smell, and people who know how to smell it can smell which brand it is. But he thinks that perfume is all the same smell, that is, fragrance. He can neither say that he likes this fragrance, nor does he hate it, since he entered the entertainment industry, everyone he has seen knows how to dress up and clean up, and he has smelled perfume for a long time, and suddenly smelled such an original ecology, and his heart was stunned.
As far as he knows, this Jiang Cheng is also a boss, and he has no fragrance at all, only a faint smell of tobacco, which smells good.
But that's all, he felt that Jiang Cheng didn't smell of perfume, and there was a ** thing about this person who didn't understand, because Jiang Cheng was said to be a nouveau riche, a rich man, and his family came out of a coal mine, and he started to invest in the film and television industry with two money, and the reputation was very bad.
In his impression, he and this Jiangcheng have seen these two sides, and they can barely be regarded as acquaintances. I can't remember any more, but then he had a messy connection with this person, if you want to liquidate all the people who forced him to death in the previous life, then this Jiangcheng, I really don't know if you want to count it.
This qiē rumor all started when Sister Hong began to mention the name from time to time.
"Mr. Jiang of Zhengyang Media, you know, he seems to like you a lot."
As a straight man who came out to break into society after graduating from junior high school, Gu Tingcheng only knew that there was such a thing as homosexuality after entering the entertainment industry, but he didn't think about Jiang Cheng as homosexual, he felt that the liking that Sister Hong said should mean appreciation...... Although he doesn't feel that there is anything worth appreciating about him.
He felt that Jiang Cheng was going to dig him.
But he Gu Qingcheng has gone from a small security guard with a monthly salary of only more than 2,000 yuan to a small celebrity who can earn more than 100,000 yuan by attending an event and standing on a platform.
It's just that later even his assistant Xiao Tang began to mention it, and later, his girlfriend Meng Dan would occasionally joke and say: "Then the boss of Zhengyang Media, is he taking a fancy to you?" ”
Gu Tingcheng slowly pondered the taste, it turned out that this Jiangcheng was actually a master of both men and women.
This time he resisted the name Jiang Cheng, and to be honest, he even felt a little humiliated and felt very ashamed. So every time someone said the word Jiang Cheng in front of him, he had a cold face.
Sister Hong attributed this to the fact that he is now famous, his shelf is bigger, and he has begun to learn to put on a face. The relationship between the two of them became worse and worse during that time, and finally the company changed him to an agent.
Then the most Rashomon thing happened in his life, he went to dinner with Meng Dan and Zhao Jingming, I don't know how to drink too much on the wine table, and when he woke up, he found himself lying on the bed bare/slippery, he endured a headache and sat up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a scene that he could not forget in his next life.
There was also a man lying on the bed, lying face up, because he was unusually tall, almost covering the entire bed, his slender body was like him, wearing nothing, his muscles were well-proportioned, his shoulders were broad, his waist was thin, and his body was full of life.
And this man is surnamed Jiang Mingcheng, the leader of Zhengyang Media, and the man who witnessed his death.
