Chapter 6 The Dinner Table
After taking a shower and lying on the bed, Chen Xin did not feel sleepy. He was a little uneasy when he thought of where Xu Heyu lived now, why did she fall to this point? Although her mother used to be a small trader and her life was a little poor, she heard Xu Hewei say that her father would give them a certain amount of alimony every year, and their lives were relatively worry-free. But now, even if she sells her house, she should have one or two million in income, but now she lives in that place, and the bag she is carrying looks like it has been a long time, and her phone is a little painted, not at all like a person with so much money. What the hell happened to her?
And Xu Heyu didn't sleep peacefully, she lost her mind when she looked at the Japanese book, she didn't like this feeling very much, got up and made herself a cup of coffee, then abandoned a distracting thought and threw herself back into the sea of books.
As soon as Ji Qianyi got home in the evening, his mother and sister facetime with him to ask about the recent study and life situation, of course, Xu Hewei would inevitably be mentioned. Thinking of her refusal to accompany her to review today, I couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
Sister Ji Tongxia saw the deviation in his love: "What? Too much pressure to revise? ”
"It's not that difficult for me to learn. It's just that my agent aunt picked me up a movie, and this time I played the male number one, which was a bit stressful! ”
"What? Didn't she promise us to let you review this year? How did this go back on its word, how did it work! Ji's mother was very dissatisfied, although she supported her son's acting, his studies were more important.
"This is a great opportunity, Mom! The fact that she was able to help me win this play shows that she knows how to plan my work. Ji Qianyi said seriously.
"You kid, everything is your reason. Since you think it's a good thing to take on this play, don't put on this unhappy expression. I heard my mother say that Xu Hewei is only 5 years older than you, don't call other people's aunts or anything, it's rude! If Ji Tongxia was by his side, she would definitely poke his head hard to teach him a lesson.
"She doesn't mind herself, and she's really the toughest woman I've ever seen, I don't think it's going to be too easy in the future!" Ji Qianyi pouted, only in front of his mother and sister would he show his childish side.
"It seems that you admire her a lot, which shows that Xu Hewei has the ability to take you well, and my mother and I are relieved. It seems that I should go back to China to meet her during the Halloween holiday, and ask her to take care of you. Ji Tongxia loves her younger brother very much, but she knows this younger brother too well, if Xu Heyu couldn't stop him, he wouldn't be obedient to study now.
"Where do I admire her, I just think that she is willing to be so attentive to me, how can I be worthy of her intentions."
"Okay, good, you study hard!"
Hanging up the phone, Ji Qianyi looked at the time, it was not yet 11 o'clock, usually at this time, Xu Hewei would accompany her to review together, although she looked at each other, but if she had any questions, she would also answer them in time. But now, there is only one person sitting alone at the big desk, and I am not used to it.
The next day, as soon as Xu Heyu came out of the alley, she saw Chen Xin.
Chen Xin took the initiative to speak: "From today onwards, I will pick you up sooner or later until you are willing to move!" ”
"Chen Xin, we each have our own lives and jobs, although I know that you have good intentions, but you are embarrassing me by doing this." Xu Heyu looked at him straightly, maybe since her mother died, she has become more and more independent in everything.
"Ah, you shouldn't live like this. If, if you want, you can come and work in my studio, or I send you abroad for further study, I believe in your ability. Chen Xin looked at her bitterly, he couldn't watch her live like this anymore, when he was at his grandmother's house, he and his grandmother were often taken care of by Xu Hewei's mother Li Hongxia, "Even if I repay your mother's affection for taking care of me back then, okay?" When my grandmother was dying, she told me to go back to see you. Will you give me a chance? ”
"I ......" Xu Heyu lowered her eyelids, and the grandmother he mentioned touched the softest part of her heart, and she couldn't help but soften her tone, "I'll think about it, and please give me some time." ”
"Okay, I have a friend who went abroad, and I'll keep his house for you, and I'll wait for you to think about it." Chen Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief, and this little girl was finally no longer stubborn.
Duan Lei took Xu Heyu to do other things, familiarized herself with the operation of each link, and gradually transferred some work to her. Especially Ji Qianyi's work arrangement, although he is now a candidate, his future work must also be put on the agenda early.
"There's a dinner tonight, you come with me." Duan Lei gave her all the information of the people invited to the dinner tonight, "Dress up nicely, Hongmei Media has a big drama plan next year, we don't ask for the male number one, but the role of the male number two must be won." With the blessing of two dramas next year, Ji Qianyi's transformation as a child star is basically completed! ”
"I understand!" Xu Heyu pursed her lips, it was not the first time she had participated in this kind of dinner, but a lot of dirty noodles in this circle were very obvious at the dinner, although she could be protected by Duan Lei and retreat, but she couldn't hide behind him all the time.
Xu Hewei was wearing a sleeveless black short skirt, with only a watch on her left wrist, and nothing else. When she took Duan Lei's arm and entered the box, she did not attract everyone's attention, but it was Duan Lei's appearance that made many people present stand up and come over to greet him, which shows Duan Lei's wide network and strong ability.
"Oh, Brother Duan, you're finally here!" The man who spoke was a man with black-rimmed glasses, named Li Jinglu. Xu Hewei knows him and is also a well-known agent in the circle, but now he is not only an agent, but also the vice president of Hongmei Media, this man is also a well-known comrade in the circle, and he is very close to Duan Lei.
"It's been a long time since I've seen you, Brother Li!" Duan Lei gave him a big hug.
"The lotus girl is here too! I heard that you have also signed an artist, congratulations on joining our agent ranks! Li Jinglu let go of Duan Lei, and instead hugged Xu Hewei's shoulder, smiling and teasing her. Every time he saw her, Li Jinglu liked to tease her, knowing that she was Duan Lei's favorite general, he was quite surprised that such a little girl could enter Duan Lei's eyes.
"In the future, I will ask Brother Li for more advice!" Xu Heyu smiled and did not break away from his intimate behavior.
A few more people came one after another, some people brought their own artists over, the women were pure or enchanting, the men were sunny or feminine, but there was no accident that they were all masters of eating, drinking wine was like drinking water, and their faces did not change their color and their hearts did not beat. Li Jinglu, Duan Lei and several other heavyweights at the dinner were chatting freely, but they were all inquiring about Hongmei's new play.
Xu Heyu was also pulled into the conversation between them by Li Jinglu because of Duan Lei's relationship.
"We've just come out of the outline of this play, and the script is still being written. Are you too anxious? Li Jinglu looked at the actors jokingly with a wine glass, with a teasing and scrupulous look in his eyes. Some agents pushed their own artists very brightly, and they obediently got up to toast Li Jinglu, their eyes were like silk, and they were not inferior to the female artists present.
"Hongmei's strength is there, of course, sooner rather than later!" Duan Lei took a leisurely sip of wine, watching him trapped in this pile of beautiful men, laughing so openly that Xu Heyu almost couldn't help laughing.
"Oh, why are you artists so enthusiastic? I can't take it anymore, obediently, you go back to your position first, we still have something to discuss! Although Li Jinglu said this, his hands touched their faces one by one, and the meaning of banter could not be more obvious. The male artists looked at the agent's eyes and obediently returned to their seats.
"Come here!" Li Jinglu beckoned to Xu Hewen, the people around him gave up a place in a funny way, and Xu Heyu obediently sat beside him. Li Jinglu put his arm on her shoulder, looking like a good brother. Some people can't understand it, he obviously likes men, but now he seems to be very interested in Xu Heyu. Only Duan Lei knew in his heart the reason why Li Jinglu did this.
"In the past two days, you have sent the information of your little artist to my personal mailbox!" Li Jinglu pressed her ear and whispered to her, in the eyes of outsiders, this move was very intimate, but it made Xu Heyu startled, she quietly glanced at Duan Lei, did such good news come too suddenly?
"Then I'll thank Brother Li in advance!" Xu Heyu also whispered close to his ear, "Come, I'll toast Brother Li for a cup!" She took her glass and drank it first.
Li Jinglu looked at her, personally picked up the wine bottle and poured her wine glass full: "How can this cup be enough!" It takes at least three cups to have fun! ”
Xu Heyu looked at a full glass of Moutai wine, and then looked at the people at the table who were all focused on the two of them, and lowered her head and smiled charmingly: "Brother Li is very gracious, I should obey orders." But it's boring for me to drink like this alone, so let's do it! If Brother Li wins, I'll have a drink, and if you lose, you can have a drink, and see which of us gets drunk first in the end! ”
"This is interesting! In the past, Duan Lei protected you every time, and now it's time for you to wean and be independent. Li Jinglu still hugged her and looked at her with a smile.
As a result, although Xu Heyu was drunk, Li Jinglu also drank a lot.
After the wine game ended, Li Jinglu was supported by his assistant, but he still held Duan Lei's shoulder, and said drunkly: "Duan Lei, I really didn't expect this little girl to be quite courageous, and she has a good amount of alcohol, she is a talent." “
"She'll surprise you even more in the future, I'll send her back first." Duan Lei held up the unconscious Xu Hewei, this guy was drunk in front of him for the first time.
