831: The Breath of "Melon" (Part II)
Do you believe that there are ghosts in the world?
Mi Xiujie thought that the boss of the company called to hold himself accountable, but it turned out to be such a strange and brainless problem. If it was before, he would most likely think that the person who asked the question would be sick, but it is left for now...... He asked in a ghostly manner.
"What do you mean by that, boss?"
Tian Hezhou didn't answer and asked: "You just have to answer, do you believe that there are ghosts in the world?"
After he asked, Mi Xiujie on the other end of the phone fell into a long silence.
"The owner...... If you have anything to say, can you just say it?"
Before Tian Hezhou answered, he glanced at his younger brother Tian Heyang and the master "Xiaocang".
"If, I say, someone has seen your brother's ghost...... Do you believe it?"
When Mi Xiujie, who was nested in the dark room, heard this, he was instantly shocked and broke out in a cold sweat, and stood up from the ground coldly.
"What?"
His voice was so rapid that it almost broke.
"My brother's ghost?"
Mi Xiujie's first reaction was shock, and his second reaction was to suspect that the boss was taking revenge on him.
After thinking about it, I felt that the second guess was untenable.
Tian Hezhou has been working hard in the entertainment industry for many years, and some of the artists he has signed have been popular, and some are obscure.
When the contract expires, whether it is to leave the company to find another job or continue to sign a contract to retire in the company, the artist's evaluation of this boss is a good review, even if he flies out alone, he does not step on the evil words.
In the final analysis, it is a clear stream in the entertainment industry of this boss.
A businessman who does not look like a capitalist.
Other entertainment companies will squeeze the value of artists to the limit, both openly and secretly.
For the sake of certain businesses and resources, artists are arranged to participate in dinners, accompany wine and laugh, and secretly "pimp".
Carrying the two mountains of "life" and "family", it is not easy for any adult, many artists are pinched by the company because of their own black materials, and because of their own star journey (money), they have acquiesced to this deformed survival rule half-pushed, half-pushed and half-pushed, and those who refuse to be soft are either secretly taught to be a person by the company or blocked, and waste their good years in various film and television city crews.
Of course, it doesn't mean that Tian Hezhou is a good person, some times he still follows the principles of the mall and is so cold that he is not approachable, but in horizontal comparison, as the boss, he is still very protective of the company's employees, and it is impossible to make malicious fun of Mi Xiujie at this time.
"Yes, someone saw it, and ...... He was accompanied by a little girl, and the little girl was called 'Star'. ”
Mi Xiujie was shocked when he heard this.
The throbbing sound of the chest slammed into the eardrums.
“...... Star...... That's the girl's nickname......"
The news only said the pseudonym of the victim girl, and did not mention the big name and small name, where did the boss know?
Could it be ......
Did anyone really see my brother's ghost?
Do people become ghosts when they die?
For a moment, countless chaotic thoughts swirled in his mind, and finally turned into a driving force.
He's going to go to his boss and ask for clarification.
But as soon as he reached the door, he put his hand on the doorknob and came to his senses in an instant.
He couldn't get out, and the downstairs in the community were full of reporters squatting.
Maybe the police are on their way too......
Tian Hezhou also thought of this problem.
He offered to go to Mi Xiujie's house to talk to him in detail.
"Master, did Mi Xiujie kill that little girl, and the ghost who attracted the victim will be clear if you ask, right?"
If Mi Xiujie is innocent, as the boss, he has the obligation to clear Mi Xiujie's stigma, and this is also to keep the company's stock. If you do a good job in public relations, you can even take advantage of the situation to promote a positive image of the company - such as being affectionate and righteous, and maintaining the artist's observance of public morality...... But if Mi Xiujie lies, he can only "kill his relatives with righteousness", sacrifice Mi Xiujie, and try to save the company's damaged reputation.
Tian Heyang scratched his head.
"Brother, the testimony of the ghost...... Will the police adopt it?"
If it is adopted, wouldn't it be a slap in the face and a "breaking feudal superstition" that has been propagated for many years?
Pei Ye ignored Tian Heyang's complaints: "It's theoretically feasible, but that girl is a ghost, and the boy next to her is also a ghost." Asking how the ghost died before his death, this act is the same as congratulating the 99-year-old man on his long life......"
Tian Hezhou misunderstood when he heard it.
"The master can't do it either?"
Pei Ye's tone was calm: "I can do it, but I have to add money, this is an additional charge." ”
Tian Heyang looked at the cold and dusty junior in his impression with a look of disbelief.
A few words are inseparable from money.
Could this be the true demeanor of a worldly master?
His previous impressions were all delusions?
And Tian Hezhou is much calmer, in his opinion, the trouble that can be settled with money is not a trouble at all, I am afraid that those who hold the money and give it to others are not even, that is the big trouble. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Money is not a problem, the important thing is to find out the truth." ”
Mi Xiujie's value is much more than the appearance fee paid to Pei Ye.
Even if he is only the tail of the crane among the second-tier male stars, he is also one of the pillars of the company, and the annual benefits to the company are immeasurable. A cash cow that can be guaranteed is guaranteed. Tian Hezhou did not shy away from expressing his meaning, and Pei Ye nodded in understanding.
But—
She looked at the recent photo of Mi Xiujie on the mobile phone screen, and the young man on it was smiling warmly and sunnyly.
“...... If I say...... He can't keep it?"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the two brothers present changed.
Unlike other artists who spend 365 days a year on the set for 365 days, Mi Xiujie will return home to repair for a month or two as soon as his work is over, during which he will only take on small jobs, or follow the trend of live broadcast to interact with fans to maintain exposure and popularity.
His home is naturally not his parents' home, but the commercial housing in S City that he took out a loan to buy before the national housing prices soared.
Tian Hezhou also bought a set here as an investment.
He took Pei Ye and the others into the community as the owners, avoided most of the reporters who were squatting, and called Mi Xiujie again.
Along the way, he had very mixed feelings.
These emotions reached their peak when they saw Mi Xiujie, who was fully armed and only showed a pair of eyes, but he was still indescribably tired.
"Boss, didn't the media follow you when you came?"
Before Tian Hezhou could answer, a young man with an unfamiliar face said lightly: "No, don't worry." ”
If it weren't for Tian Hezhou being too cautious, Pei Ye and the three would have walked directly in front of the media camera.
Mi Xiujie's residence is on the high-rise, the area is not as large as imagined, the area of the suite is only one hundred and fourteen, the decoration style is simple, simple but not simple, you can see some small details of life everywhere, it is obvious that the owner is careful to run his own nest.
As soon as he entered the house and changed into slippers, Pei Ye noticed the tightly closed curtains at first glance.
Remove the thick armament, revealing a young but haggard face, the face is very plain, and the skin is slightly dull, not as white and glowing as in the shot. He boiled tea for the three of them, and as soon as he sat down, he couldn't wait to ask his brother about the ghost.
Pei Ye didn't drink tea, but got up and walked to a door, and asked the owner's opinion before opening it.
"Can I open this door?"
"Yes, this is where I work and rest on weekdays. ”
Mi Xiujie couldn't understand Pei Ye's identity, so the people brought by the boss couldn't say anything.
Pei Ye unscrewed the handle.
The view behind the door unfolds before everyone's eyes.
This is a multi-purpose room that is professionally soundproofed.
The room was also curtained, and it was pitch black without turning on the lights.
Pei Ye pressed the light, and the room instantly lit up.
"Junior brother, is there something wrong with this room?"
Tian Heyang looked around left and right, the room was empty, and there was nothing special about it.
At this time, Pei Ye said something about the direction of the piano.
"Mr. Mi Xiuling, is it convenient to come out and talk?"
The Tian Hezhou brothers didn't feel back to it, but Mi Xiujie, who was serving tea behind everyone, was so shocked that he let go of the teacup and fell to the ground.
The young ghost who sat behind the piano and bowed his head to teach the girl on the side how to play the piano raised his head when he heard this, and the black ghost's eyes turned into pure scarlet in the moment his eyelids were raised. The girl on the side also felt uneasy.
"Xingxing will go to the room to play first, and my brother will come over in a while. ”
The little girl nodded obediently.
She jumped off the stool and ran out of the doorway.
I don't know if it's the weird atmosphere or the psychological effect, the moment the soul body passes through, several people feel a strange shade.
Mi Xiujie squeezed away the Tian Hezhou brothers and rushed past Pei Ye to the room.
Not to mention people, there are not even ghosts here.
He turned his head to look at Pei Ye, and Mi Xiuling, who was not far away beside him, also looked at Pei Ye with the same gaze.
"What did you just say?"
He could barely suppress the irritability of being fooled.
Pei Ye dodged his outstretched hand, and his gaze was always locked on Mi Xiuling who was not far away.
"Shouldn't you ask your brother what he has to say?"
Looking at Pei Ye's smiling face, Mi Xiujie's back was cold.
"What, my brother?"
Pei Ye didn't answer his words, but said: "Your brother is in trouble now, if you don't cooperate, there is a high probability that he will be ruined." ”
This scene is weird in the eyes of others, but Tian Heyang, who has had the experience of seeing ghosts, understands.
The young ghost is here.
"I know. ”
Mi Xiuling pursed her lips, her voice was different from the tenderness she had when she faced the little girl, but it added a bit of crampedness and coldness.
"You know?"
"He's tired, it's good to rest. ”
Pei Ye: "......"
Tian Heyang was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks.
Finally, he had an idea.
The sound of a coin falling into a bag sounded.
[ZFB arrives at 3,000 yuan]
He flashed three fingers at him: "Senior brother, the eye-opening fee for three people." ”
Pei Ye: "......"
A second ago, Tian Hezhou and Mi Xiujie were suspicious of the "ghost", but a second later, looking at a slightly transparent figure emerging out of thin air in the empty space, they were so shocked that they couldn't speak. Mi Xiujie almost couldn't control his emotions.
His lips fluttered for a while before he spat out two dry words.
"Brother, brother......"
The call full of emotion was exchanged for an indifferent glance from his brother.
Mi Xiujie didn't realize that something was wrong.
"You...... How did you die, I don't believe you will kill yourself......"
Looking at his brother, who still maintained the size of a teenager, he was deeply aware of the fact that the former was a ghost.
"I committed suicide. ”
"Why!"
Mi Xiuling paused and spoke flatly.
"For the atonement of sins. ”
