62 Chapter 62
Old photos and old things
Ruan Chengze's career as an artist, as he said, I am afraid that he will not be low-key for the rest of his life.
The life of an artist should have been like a roller coaster, high and low, occasionally turning a few laps, occasionally climbing quietly, and occasionally skimming at high speed, so that he can balance his life while maintaining exposure.
If you blindly fly at high speed, in the end it will only derail the whole car and cause heavy losses.
As a senior agent who has been in this industry for more than ten years, Shang Yu thinks that there is no big or small thing, but if it falls into his hands, there is always a way to deal with it. Until this day, the roller coaster, named Nguyen Chengze, derailed the whole line.
At the time of the incident, Su Wei had just left her apartment on the 38th floor.
Yuan Xu sent a message that he had arrived outside the gate of the community, and she looked at her phone and smiled. Today, she plans to take him to her studio, a villa in the lakeside district to the east of the city.
The villa has three floors and is a small single-family building, located in the lakeside business circle, and is one of the scattered shops there. The villa was formerly a wine club, and later closed down due to poor management, when Su Wei first came to the city last year, in addition to buying the high-rise apartment, he also bought this villa.
At the beginning, her idea was to live in one set and make a studio. The high-rise apartment has a lot of privacy, so she hired someone to redesign and renovate the villa and turn it into a studio.
The villa is quiet and has a superb view, and on a sunny day, you can even see the vehicles moving on the other side of the lake. Although the internal area is not as large as her high-rise apartment, it adds up to nearly 500 square meters.
After returning to China, I have been living there ever since.
He's a bit of a tidying up and especially likes to organize her photography.
There are more photographs on the wall on the first floor of the villa than in her apartment, and they are strictly chronological, with the date, place, and subject of the photographs marked below.
There are many things that she doesn't have to say at all, as long as she takes Yuan Xu there, he will naturally understand the dream she said and the current situation she is talking about.
The black jeep was quietly parked on the side of the road, and the temperature was getting higher and higher in the past few days, but at 8 o'clock in the morning, it had already exceeded 30 degrees outside.
Inside the car, a handsome man with black hair was leaning over his mobile phone. She reached out and knocked on the car window, and he looked sideways at her, and the moist eyes that had been faintly alienated immediately became gentle.
She went around to the passenger seat and got into the car, the cool cold air came to her face, and she let out a long sigh of relief, "Have you eaten breakfast?" At such an early hour, he hadn't even gotten out of bed before, let alone driven all the way from the south of the city to get here so refreshed.
"Not yet, I want to eat with you." His gaze swept over her, some uncontrollable amazement emerged, only to be blocked by his drooping eyelashes at the same time.
Since yesterday, there have been a few things that have been different about her.
This difference is not just her Burberry black tulle lace sheer high-leg midi dress yesterday, or today's L-white dark striped low-waisted sleeveless dress.
Admittedly, price is an issue, but the biggest change is in the style of her dressing.
It is obviously an extremely luxurious outfit, but it becomes natural when placed on her, as if she no longer deliberately hides some things and restores her original living habits.
But no matter what, no matter what happened to her, she didn't mean to hide it from him. Because of this, he trusted her and didn't ask much.
A call came on the way to breakfast on the drive.
"Sue, something happened, it's a little tricky." It's rare to speak to her in such a serious tone.
"What's wrong?"
"There are several photos of Nguyen Chengze that have been published on the Internet, and this matter is a bit serious, and I am afraid that it will affect this shooting."
The photos that can be serious enough to affect the shooting are definitely not ordinary ambiguous scandals. Moreover, it's only been a long time, she only warned Shang Yu yesterday that everything is low-key, and she will get into trouble today, even if she is deliberately looking for trouble, she is not so fast!
Su Wei habitually pressed the corner of his forehead, "Where are you now?" β
"I just received a call from Shang Yu, and now I'm going to go to Nguyen Chengze's residence." The studio is very close to Nguyen Chengze's lakeside high-rises, and it is only a twenty-minute walk.
"Don't go yet, I'm nearby, I'll pick you up."
"You're going too?"
"Let's find out." Hanging up the phone, Su Wei apologized to Yuan, "I'm sorry, something happened temporarily, and I can't have breakfast with you." You stop at the commercial circle in front of you. β
Yuan Xu looked ahead and drove the car, not looking at her, "Is it for Ruan Chengze's business?" β
"You know?"
"Before you got in the car, I saw the news on the Internet, because it was related to women, so I didn't tell you." He frowned, his face not very good-looking, "You are no longer his assistant now, these matters should be left to his agent to solve." β
"I know it's not good for me to miss the appointment today, but this incident will affect the photo shoot in the future, so I must pass." Since Su Wei decided to tell him, he didn't hide it.
"Photoshoot?" He pulled over to the intersection and looked sideways at her.
"Yes, his agent approached me before, and I took the job." She lowered the window of the car, waved her hand not far away, and then said to Hara, "I originally wanted to take you to my studio today, and then tell you slowly." Actually, my real profession now is that of a photographer. β
Even with his preparation, he was still surprised, "Fashion photographer? β
Su Wei nodded and opened the door and got into the back seat at this time, and when he saw the original Xu who was driving, he exclaimed, "You are the original Xu, right?" I heard Su mention you and say that you were supposed to come to the studio today, and your face is so beautiful! He was a professional prisoner, staring at Yuan Xu and looking at it, "Sure enough, it is 360 degrees without a blind spot......
In the face of such a direct compliment from a man, Yuan Xu was obviously not very comfortable, and after thanking him, he started the car again.
"By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet, I'm Sue's assistant."
"Hello." As he turned his direction, his gaze swept over the exotic man in the backview mirror, and he always felt that he was somewhat familiar.
Five minutes later, the car passed through the doorman and stopped outside Mr. Nguyen's lakeside apartment.
"You go up first." Su Weichao ordered, and the latter immediately got out of the car. Along the way, Yuan Xu didn't speak, but she looked in the rearview mirror frequently, and she knew that he must have found out.
After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke, "He's not Ensa, you're so, aren't you?" β
This sudden fact shocked him inexplicably.
He thought about all the possibilities, maybe she found her family, or maybe she set up her own company, but he didn't expect that she would be the rumored top fashion photographer.
"That's what I want you to know today." She looked at his obviously surprised and happy face, and reached out to hold his hand, "I didn't mean to lie to you, but I just appeared in that capacity, and I didn't have a chance to mention this." β
"I understand." He pursed his lips, took her hand back, and smiled at her, "I'm not angry, I'm just a little ...... I was surprised, but I didn't expect that in just ten years, you would achieve such success. He reached out and gently stroked her face, "Aurora, you are very powerful, I am proud of you." β
"When I'm done dealing with this, I'll tell you about my experience in the last ten years." She tried to get out of the car, but he pulled her back.
"You're still with him?" At the mention of this, he felt extremely uncomfortable.
"Yes." In Su Wei's view, she and Ruan Chengze just had some disagreements and contradictions, which did not affect their relationship.
Yuan Xu sighed heavily, "Aurora, he's really not suitable for you. I didn't say this because I didn't have a good relationship with him, and you'll understand when you see the photos of this scandal. Actually, there was another thing I didn't tell you last time, and I also knew something about him and Feng Yabai back then. Before they fell out, they were seen showing up together at a hotel late at night...... Aurora, this line of work, and the people in this line of work, are far more complicated than you think. β
"I know you care about me, but don't worry, I'm not blind." Su Wei smiled at him, "I said last time that he is a person who disdains disguise. I'm a photographer and I understand that lenses can sometimes deceive. I don't know what kind of photo it is this time, but I believe him. β
The car door opened and closed, and through the car glass, Yuan Xu's eyes were heavy and she watched her leave. In those slightly cold eyes, there are some emotions entangled, which seem to be lonely and seem to be in love. Looking at it, he didn't know what he thought, and there was a little more coldness in his eyes.
At the door of the apartment building, she was long gone. Yuan Xu retracted his gaze, started the car and left.
The photos are not new, but a few old ones, and even a little blurry because the pixels of the phone are too low.
However, the face of the male protagonist in the photo can still be clearly recognized, it is Nguyen Chengze in his youth - at the age of fifteen when he just debuted. Because it was a snapshot and there was no dimming, the background appeared a little dim, and it could be vaguely seen that it was a sofa.
He was half-leaning there, his expression a little strange, and his face was flushed with drunkenness, obviously drunk. Of course, none of this is the point, the point is on the other protagonist in this photo.
It was a woman in her thirties, with an average figure and an average appearance, but she wore a variety of see-through pajamas, leaned on Nguyen Chengze's thin shoulders at the time, slipped one hand into the neckline of his T-shirt, hooked his neck with the other, and imprinted red lips on his cheeks.
These four photos are taken continuously, there is no trace of PS, and the background characters are the same, but there are some slight changes in the movements. But this is enough to judge what happened at the time, and it is clear that this is a set of nude # photos.
According to the content of the Internet revelations, the heroine in it was a very famous female producer in the circle at that time.
Ruan Chengze's black history of fame, the unbearable and ** inside under the glamorous appearance, the chaotic circle, there is no male god in this world anymore...... And all the other words and phrases, plus these four photos, make up this scandal that shocked the public.
Indeed, at present, it seems that it can only be described as a scandal, because these photos have gone out of the scope of scandals.
Everyone was stunned, and the silence of the room broke the increasingly cold atmosphere.
"I have to say, well, his hairstyle back then really didn't suit him well, and those were much better later!"
", don't joke at this time." Su Wei put the tablet in his hand back on the coffee table and looked at Shang Yu on the sofa opposite, "Was he poured wine at that time?" Who took the photo? β
Shang Yu took off his glasses, rubbed the bridge of his nose vigorously, and put them back on, "If only the public could be as sober and sharp as you." Yes, he was drugged and not only that, but he was drugged. If I guessed correctly, the photo should have been taken by Feng Yabai, but I was late at the time, and I didn't know that I was photographed halfway! β
Su Wei looked at Hao Feng, and Hao Feng nodded at her, indicating that this was the truth he wanted to tell her last time, but he didn't say it in the end.
"It seems that I thought about him and Feng Yabai too simply." Su Wei let out a long sigh and glanced at the closed bedroom door on the other side, "How is he?" β
"It's not good, for him, it's the last thing he wants to remember, it's a shame in his life. For so many years, I have been silent about this, and the only people who really know the truth are the three of us. Shang Yu said, walked to the bar and took out a bottle of red wine. He poured a few glasses of red wine, returned to the sofa, and laughed when he saw Su Wei's tightly frowning eyebrows, "Don't think about it, this incident is indeed a shame for Yves, but I don't mean that he really suffered that kind of thing at that time." It's just that with his conceited character, he was drugged and calculated, and he was almost slept with by an old woman...... This in itself is already a great shame. β
Shang Yu stretched out his hand, pushed one of the glasses of wine to Su Wei, and motioned to Hao Feng and Zibian, "Let's everyone drink a little first, because from today onwards, we will have a very difficult battle to fight!" After hesitating, Shang Yu still said to Su Wei, "About Fan Huierβ"
"I know, I'll find someone I know first, and you will also come along, let's have a video conference to see if there is a way to explain things clearly first and discuss solutions."
"Thank you." At this moment, Shang Yu was really glad that he had the vision of choosing an assistant in the first place.
As night fell, in an independent office on a certain floor of Xinghong Entertainment, a tall woman in smart professional attire stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass, quietly watching the city she had worked hard for many years.
She knew that there were a lot of people who couldn't sleep tonight.
Among them, she also includes herself.
That person must have hated her in his heart now. Feng Yabai looked at his reflection on the glass, pulled the corners of his lips and smiled.
All grievances and hostilities have their own inevitable reasons for existence.
In the past eleven years, she has watched Ruan Chengze grow from an unknown newcomer to a popular superstar, and her heart is struggling and unwilling to come more and more every time. But at the same time, she also knew in her heart that the reason for today's result was herself.
So no matter how much she is unwilling, no matter how much she swells, it is impossible to find an outlet.
Actually, it wasn't like this at first, eleven years ago, Nguyen Chengze also trusted her. From when he was rashly stopped by her on the street, to finally walking into M&S to sign a contract. She was the one who guided him in all this process.
At that time, although she was already the manager of a popular band, she was not satisfied with it, she understood that if she wanted to gain a foothold in this circle, she could never put all her hopes in the same place. She wants a gifted newcomer to take the other party into the film and television industry.
In her opinion, Nguyen Chengze's face was simply born for movies.
But because of this face, at an in-circle party just a few days after he signed the contract, a very famous filmmaker sent her an ambiguous signal. This kind of thing happened all the time, and she had seen it a few times, and she was no stranger to it.
At that time, she had no idea where he was coming from. He was dressed so ordinary, he was in high school, his parents didn't show up during the whole signing process, and the guardian he called his uncle was just an ordinary man in his forties. She thought that all he had was a face and a cold temperament completely different from that of teenagers of the same age.
After the party that day, she euphemistically expressed it to him in a suggestive way.
Crossroads, turning left is starting from scratch, slowly climbing as well as an uncertain future; To the right is a road to stardom. She felt that with his cleverness, this choice should not be difficult to make. As a result, that night, he just looked at her and sneered a few times.
At that moment, she felt a disdain and contempt in the eyes of this fifteen-year-old boy that was worth countless times more than words.
Although she didn't know him for long, she was seven years older than him, and she was the one who brought him into the industry. So she was angry with his attitude, and at the same time she felt embarrassed. Arrogance and self-esteem, she also has these things, but in this industry, many times she can only force herself to ignore them.
Although she was angry, she had a good impression of Ruan Chengze at that time, and she didn't want to be hated by him, so she explained a few words, and at the same time reassured him that she would not force him to do anything he didn't want.
What Feng Yabai didn't expect was that the producer seemed to have a good impression of Ruan Chengze, and the next day he took the initiative to send an assistant to call and invite him to dinner. She hesitated for a while, but still took the person to the hotel box.
That night, in addition to the female producer, there was also a director in the box, as well as several well-known artists. When they went, the people were talking about a new movie that was being made.
Ruan Chengze was originally a little unhappy when he saw the producer, but he was always young and had no experience in this industry at all, and when he saw that there were directors and other artists there, he was not so vigilant, and he heard them talk about movies, so he stayed.
A table of people eating, drinking, and chatting, no one seemed to pay much attention to this newcomer who arrived late. The feeling of being ignored was more comfortable, and half an hour later, Ruan Chengze, who was still a little vigilant, gradually relaxed.
Later, some artists toasted the director and producer, and naturally brought Nguyen Chengze with him, who had drunk all the drinks before. An assistant poured him a new drink, but he didn't force him to finish it, just casually. He took it and took a symbolic sip.
After that, there were other artists toasting, and he only took a shallow sip every time. It was Feng Yabai, in order to show his sincerity, he made several glasses. Later, when the wine came up, it happened that the lead singer of the band she brought with her called, so she went out to answer it.
The other party seemed to be dissatisfied with her bringing a new person, and talked to her on the phone for a long time, after an explanation and persuasion, her mind became more and more confused, and she went to the bathroom to wash her face, and when she went back to the box, it was more than half an hour later.
In the box, the artist and the director were still chatting, but Ruan Chengze and the female producer were missing.
She stepped forward to ask, but all of them were big names, and they said perfunctory words like "I went to the bathroom just now", or "I have something to go out", and then ignored her.
Feng Yabai vaguely guessed something in his heart, but at the same time, he felt that this possibility was too ridiculous. However, after several calls to him and his mobile phone could not be reached, her heart gradually sank.
She dialed the assistant's phone, and the other party lightly warned her not to go back on her word, and if she didn't have this idea, she shouldn't have brought someone in the first place.
Feng Yabai was completely panicked, and when she was helpless, she called Shang Yu. At that time, Shang Yu had only been in the industry for a long time, because he was young and similar, and he had a good relationship with her. She knew who he was, and even if she knew about it, she wouldn't say it later. She briefly explained the matter on the phone and asked him what to do?
The other party asked her to steady herself, asked her which hotel she was in, and immediately asked her to wait after hearing the name of the hotel. A few minutes later, he called again, saying that she was supposed to be at the hotel, and gave her a room number.
That's what he got from an employee he knew about who had a long-term suite at the hotel and asked her to go to housekeeping to find someone he knew. After he explained on the phone, he said that he would arrive later and told her not to panic.
How could Feng Yabai not panic, she didn't know when the person was brought up, and whether there was an accident now.
When the housekeeping department heard that the other party was only fifteen years old, the last hesitation was gone, and immediately took her to change into the clothes of the hotel staff, pushed a cleaning cart to her, and finally gave her a key card, and at the same time said that his position was also difficult, and he could only help her here, and don't pull him into the water in case of an accident.
Feng Yabai thanked the other party, didn't delay for a second, and pushed the cleaning cart to the outside of the suite.
When she opened the door, she only prayed that the assistant would not be inside. Thankfully, the producer's taste didn't get to that point. The suite was quiet, with the sound of muffled music, and she left the cleaning cart in the hallway behind the door and quietly peeked into the room.
Then, she saw Nguyen Chengze leaning on the sofa and was unconscious, and then she saw the woman who came out of the bedroom in sexy pajamas. It's not an accident yet, but it's not far from it.
She knew that she should step forward immediately, pull up Ruan Chengze and leave. But if you do this, you will definitely offend the other party. If she has a feud with such a character, she will encounter countless troubles in the future.
At that moment, she hesitated, and finally she came up with a solution.
She took out her mobile phone and took a few photos while the other party was leaning on Nguyen Chengze's ambiguous behavior. She then put her phone away, intending to retreat back outside the door and knock on the door to stop what was happening inside. In this way, at least give the other party a step, and if the other party pursues it afterwards, she also has a photo of self-preservation.
But when she cautiously opened the door and was about to exit, she bumped into the assistant, who was shocked and dragged her out. And at this time, Shang Yu also arrived. Without hesitation at all, he kicked directly at the door that was about to close, rushed in, and carried the person out in the woman's scream.
The departure was exceptionally smooth, and once out of the room, no one would behave out of bounds. However, Feng Yabai's heart was beating at every step, except for the expression of the assistant who was eager to rip off a piece of her flesh when he left, and the gaze of the young man on Shang Yu's back.
Those long dark eyes, half-closed and half-open, seemed to be mixed with a trace of cold and sober sharpness between blurry and blur. She thought it was her own delusion, but later realized it wasn't.
He drank drugged liquor and was later poured several glasses, but he was not completely unconscious.
He heard what the assistant was saying to her on the phone, and he knew what was going on.
In this way, Nguyen Chengze has since parted ways with her, and Shang Yu has become his agent.
The incident of the hotel that night also became an unspeakable secret between them. But where in this world are there impermeable walls, the change of agents, and Ruan Chengze's subsequent attitude of turning a blind eye to her, all show something.
Rumors, from there.
Year after year, she thought that she would one day forget, but watched him grow from a beautiful boy to a handsome man day by day, watched him step by step to the top of light and shadow, and watched him smile more and more charming day by day.
She knew she couldn't forget.
How simple it is to fall in love with someone, even if she is seven years older than him, even if at the beginning, she only has the heart to use him.
However, she was destined to not get a response to this feeling.
This is a pain that knows it is impossible but cannot stop falling deep, and Nguyen Chengze is like a thorn that pierces deep into her heart. She couldn't pull it out, and it hurt day after day.
But she also knew that since that incident, he has been particularly repulsive to the women in this circle. No matter how many scandals there are outside, they are all fake, and he never belongs to anyone. Okay, she thought. She couldn't get it, and others could only watch from afar.
Until one day, Su Wei appeared.
She was heartbroken by her words, and she watched him go from teasing her, to caring about her, to really liking her. That pain, which eventually made her do something, and then angered him again.
Before being forced to the point of no retreat by him, she chose to leave on her own.
High-profile, sensible, mature leave with the image of a veteran agent.
But she didn't want him to forget himself like this, she knew that she had to do something so that he could remember herself deeply.
Finally, she remembered the old photos.
Now that the wood is complete, there is no possibility of turning back.
Just let him hate it.
Feng Yabai turned on the computer and smiled again at the overwhelming scandal on the Internet. 166 Reading Network
