During the period of "going home and waiting", Shen Bing went home, not her and Su Chun's home, but her parents' home in the suburbs of Beijing.

Now that the TV and Internet at home are complete, Shen Bing will no longer simply think that his parents are old antiques. On the contrary, she knows that her mother likes to watch variety shows and her father likes to watch movies. Shen Bing didn't know if he would sin sù tell them about the decision he made, whether he would usher in a storm-like scolding, and then his home would become isolated from the world.

She still plucked up her courage and said at the dinner table: "Dad, Mom, I'm going back to acting." ”

Sure enough, the atmosphere that had been relaxed and happy just now suddenly became solemn. Mother Shen was silent for a while, and said helplessly: "I knew that you didn't take the accounting exam well." ”

Shen Bing felt that her mother's focus didn't seem to be right, but it was obviously not appropriate to complain at this time, she just maintained a solemn face.

Dad Shen asked, "Does the company still want you?" Which company? ”

“…… It's still the same one. ”

Dad Shen said, "I don't agree. Your mom definitely doesn't agree either. ”

Shen Bing knew that this would be the case. Any normal, responsible parent would not agree. She herself thought it was absurd, but she was driven by her intuition to do so. Not only her, isn't Xia Wei also irrational?

"I know you won't agree, but I've decided." Shen Bing has always been talking to her parents, but this time, she is very serious. She remembers that every time she gets serious, she makes some deviant decisions that break her parents' hearts. This is really unfilial, but what can be done? Man must be selfish in some way.

"If something happens again this time, you will bear it yourself."

"Okay."

"If you make a lot of money, you don't have to spend it on us, and if you don't have any money, don't worry about us."

"Okay."

When Shen's mother said these words, she was a little choked. As a parent, no one wanted to say such a thing, but even if she let go of such cruel words, Shen Bing still couldn't come back.

Mother Shen sighed, "One last time to help you." Need to give money as a gift? ”

Shen Bing shook his head, suddenly remembered something, and nodded again, "Do we still have almonds at home?" ”

It's the height of summer again, the season of almond production. When Shen Bing said goodbye to his parents, their faces were full of reluctance. She knew that when she couldn't get along, there was still only this home to go back to, and they wouldn't refuse. But even if they waited for her with open arms forever, she had to treat it as if she didn't have this home.

This is not a rework, not a single qiē is not new, but with the shackles and humiliation of the past, I fell halfway and started again, and the starting line was already 100 meters behind others.

When I met Xia Wei again, I signed a contract. Party A is only Xia alone, and Party B is only Shen Bing, and the two are sitting in the corner of a café, facing each other.

Shen Bing said: "I remember going to the company when I signed the contract. ”

"Special Cases, Special Treatment." Xia Wei pushed the contract in front of her, "This time you have to read the content carefully." ”

When Shen Bing didn't open the contract, he didn't understand what Xia Wei meant. The contract format of Zhongtang has not changed for many years, and Shen Bing suddenly found a problem at a cursory glance.

Party A is not a Tang Entertainment brokerage company, but a ...... Xia Wei?

Shen Bing pointed to the first line of words and looked blankly at the person opposite.

Xia Wei said: "The agency is now completely under my brother's control, if you sign to Zhongtang's artist system, he will know it as soon as possible, and you will be completely controlled by him." ”

"So now I'll ......"

"It's completely up to me." Xia Wei's fingers drew circles on the table, and she lowered her eyes to explain for her.

After signing this contract, Shen Bing's identity will be a free person, she does not belong to any brokerage company, and no one administratively has the right to order her to do what not to do. She and Xia Wei will have a personal relationship, however, she has the obligation to cooperate with the arrangements made by Xia Wei, and if she does not cooperate, she will bear the consequences. At the same time, Xia Wei's obligation is to package, provide training and acting opportunities for her.

"So...... I didn't sign the Don! Shen Bing's voice revealed surprise.

Xia Wei leaned back in the chair, very satisfied with her reaction, "Of course." ”

"You...... Have you ever signed someone else like this? ”

Xia Wei shook his head helplessly.

Happy? What I'm doing now is, in my own name, signing you. I've never done anything like this, and this is the first time, and I'm apprehensive.

"My position is outside of the artist system, which means that I don't have any artists under me. In the future, you will be the only one. Whether it is a blessing or a curse, we will bear it together. Would you like to? ”

Shen Bing's heart was hot. She endured the sourness of her nose and nodded, without any hesitation.

Xia Wei smiled, "Let's take a look at the content behind." ”

The content in this contract is very different from ordinary artist contracts, except for some regulatory things, the most important thing is a few special provisions.

Shen Bing looked at these special articles and burst out laughing.

The contract stipulates that "Party B is free to choose the agent, assistant and driver, but Party A has the right to analyze whether the candidate is suitable for her and has the right to propose any suggestions." ”

"Party B shall not be required to participate in any business-related social activities."

"Party B is free to choose his place of residence without delaying his work, but the address must be communicated to Party A, and both the residence and roommates must be reviewed by Party A. In case of special circumstances, Party B is obliged to cooperate with Party A's arrangements for his accommodation and roommates. ”

"After signing the contract, Party A will immediately arrange professional performance and related subject training for Party B until the results are passed, and Party B does not have to pay tuition. If Party B does not study hard, or is too stupid to pass the guò, Party A will not be responsible and Party B will have to pay the tuition fee. ”

"Party B will use his real name 'Shen Bing' to carry out activities, and at the same time, his identity as 'Shen Bingqing' will be disclosed at an appropriate time."

When Shen Bing wrote these articles on paper, he felt that he was very backbone, and he had the pursuit of the four good young people in the new century, but when he wrote it on the contract, why did he look so funny?

Shen Bing twitched, "This tuition...... How much does it cost? ”

Xia Wei: "The teachers I hired are very expensive, each subject is more than 20,000, at least five subjects. ”

Shen Bing swallowed, "Goddess, you don't have to be so good to me, just ask for something cheaper." Or how good it is for you to teach me personally, I won't delay your work, you can take a class once a month! ”

Xia Wei narrowed his eyes, "You say I'm cheap?" ”

"No, no, no, that ......" Shen Bing thought for a long time and didn't come up with how to round this sentence, but she suddenly thought of something that could be used to interrupt, "How do I remember that there is another one?" That's right! My 'Manufacturing Experience' Discipline! Goddess, this is what I'm talking about! ”

Xia Wei glanced at her, and there was a posture of "the contract was written like this, I said that if I don't add this article, I won't add this article, if you agree, sign it, and if you don't agree, you will get out".

Shen Bing: "Okay, I'll get out - no, I'll sign." ”

"Ah~ah~Five rings~ You have more than the fourth ring~one~ring~"

Shen Bing hadn't had time to sign yet. Xia Wei listened to this nonsense ringtone, and she still remembered very clearly that seven years ago, Shen Bing's ringtone was Bei'er Shuang, and it was the same style as now. No matter how urgent things are, they will play in a second because of this ringtone.

Shen Bing answered the phone, unexpectedly trembling, she said a few words, and handed the old man to Xia Wei with a smile, "Goddess, my dad is looking for you." ”

"Looking for me?" Xia Wei was stunned, but when she touched Shen Bing's fingers on her phone, she felt that she was shaking. Xia Wei's own hands also trembled, and his heart beat quite fast.

"Hello, I'm Shen Bing's father."

"Hello uncle."

Father Shen seemed a little surprised when he heard a gentle female voice, and only said after a while, "Has Shen Bing signed a contract?" ”

Xia Wei looked at Shen Bing and said, "Not yet." She heard how Shen Bing entered Zhongtang and became a trainee back then, and she knew how deep this father's love for his children was. Now this unusually majestic voice in her ears made her unable to connect with the man kneeling at the door of Tang Xiangzhou's office no matter what.

Shen's father said: "Excuse me, after signing the contract, will anyone be directly responsible for Shen Bing?" I want to talk to this person. ”

Xia Wei was very nervous, just like he did something wrong when he was a child and was afraid of being criticized by Xia Xiaohui. She felt a little dry in her mouth, coughed, and said, "I am." ”

The other party was silent for a moment and asked her, "As a father, I hope you can understand me." Can you guarantee that Shen Bing won't be hurt again like he was seven years ago? ”

Xia Wei looked at Shen Bing steadily. What she was going to say now was very straightforward and pale, but it was important. This is the most tangible promise she can make for Shen Bing after careful consideration.

"I'm sorry, I can't. But I'll do my best to protect her. What I can guarantee is that this time if something like this happens again, I will be with her. ”

Shen Bing's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and she immediately stood up and went to the bathroom. And Xia Wei heard the man say, "Thank you." ”

Signed, stamped, simple procedure. From now on, Shen Bing became the only artist managed by Xia Wei. In today's entertainment industry, the total number of free people is only ten, and among them, there is one more Shen Bing. To be honest, this is a piece of news that is enough to bombard the entertainment industry, but this qiē just happened quietly in the unobtrusive corner of this café. The two parties have huge question marks about the future, but they don't hesitate. It's not surprising that this is how it should have been.

Xia Wei collected his things and prepared to leave, "Where are you going to live?" ”

Shen Bing thought for a while, "My apartment with Su Chun is too far away from Zhongtang. Or, I'm living with Jiang Lihua, right? I'm sure she'll do. ”

Xia Wei, who heard Jiang Lihua's name, twitched the corners of his forehead, which had become a habitual reflex. She agreed, but in a gloomy tone, "Tomorrow bring your chosen agent and assistant to my office." Before eight o'clock in the morning, there are fewer people. After that, hurry back to pack your luggage, Jiang Lihua lives in the trainee dormitory building, you are very familiar. ”

Shen Bing nodded, and the feeling in his heart was indescribable. She placed a bag on the table, "Goddess, this is for you." ”

A whole bag of peeled almonds of the season. Shen Bing rubbed his fingers, and now, his fingers still felt a little numb.

Xia Wei squeezed out a smile, "I'm not a movie star anymore, so you don't have to chase stars." ”

"It's not star-chasing."

"Then you don't have to bribe."

Shen Bing shook his head and stuffed the bag directly into Xia Wei's arms, "This is what I didn't have time to give to you back then." You asked me for it at that time, and I have a chance to make it up to you today. ”

Four-star double room in Guilin. In the dim light of the café. After waiting for seven years, Shen Bing didn't forget, and so did Xia Wei.
