【Chapter 16: Items】(2) The "Joy" of Losing

Ling Zhi turned out the hot search on the Internet that day, and there was one: Zhou Gongzi in the investment industry had a bumpy road and called himself a "bell tower weirdo"?

There are all kinds of discussions under the topic, and the first one is a question from Chiguoguo: "Zhou Gongzi, you girl who loves to watch dramas, how far is it out of the ordinary?" ”

Internet celebrities all over the Internet are muttering about marrying Zhou Zhi, and even the Du family is chasing hot spots to brush up on a new product known for its "silky": "I'm not ugly, I'm still very gentle." ”

Ling Zhi looked at Tang Qingyou's indifferent expression, and sighed again: "When Sister You rejected Boss Tu's marriage proposal, we were all thinking that the two of you are such rational people, it must be completely over." I didn't expect you to get together less and leave more for a long time, but you have always kept each other in your heart. Sister You, I can see that in your mind, ten Zhou Gongzi who revolves around you every day are not as good as a Boss Tu who is far away in the world. ”

Tang Qingyou didn't refute or explain, and cut into another perspective: "In the past two years, all the big heroines in the film and television industry have been staging the drama of 'all men love me', we ladies can't stand it, you male compatriots watch it, do you think it's very good?" ”

Ling Zhi was suddenly asked, and thought about her question: "Uh...... That's right, let's come one once in a while, it's quite fresh, but one after another, it's really a little unbearable...... No, Sister You, you're off topic! ”

"I didn't digress." Tang Qing said leisurely, "I have a clear mind, what I want to tell you is that our "Chasing Love" is not a big heroine, twin children, absolutely small and fresh, and the heroine gives up the rich and handsome male number two who treats her as a princess, and goes to chase a science otaku, this painting style, think about it, how strange it is! Is it worth making a fuss? ”

Ling Zhi was amused: "According to what you say, it's really ...... The negative textbook is also a textbook. ”

Tang Qingyou immediately said: "You haven't seen the play, how do you know it's not good?" ”

"Okay, Sister You, you frown when you speak with a clear conscience, do you know?" Ling Zhi pointed to her eyebrows and said with a smile, "This is what Zhou Gongzi secretly told us back then. He asked us to pay attention to the point, as long as you frown, if you have a rebuttal, you will go back to adjust the plan or adjust your state, and then discuss it in the next meeting. Looking at his expression, there is still the second half of the sentence that is not finished: Now that we are not your subordinates, we will not go around in circles with you, you should immediately adjust the plan or state!

Tang Qingyou subconsciously touched his eyebrows, and really, twisted a small knot. She had never known that she had such obvious facial expressions. In my impression, even my grandmother, Ms. Tang Ying, and Tu Yiran never mentioned it.

However...... Very suddenly, Tang Qingyou thought of a detail. A long, long time ago, she was still very young, her grandmother was still alive, at that time Ms. Tang Ying was still living in her hometown, she was a marginal self-employed person, Tang Qingyou handed it over to her grandmother, and her grandmother liked to touch her eyebrows, and often told her: "Yoyo, you have to remember, you have to be happy in this life." If you're happy, your grandmother will be happy. ”

Many years later, when she grew up, Ms. Tang Ying had her own home, and she met Tu Yiran...... When Tu Yiran pursued her, he was always courteous, and the most common sentence he asked her was: "Are you happy?" ”

"Well, happy."

"It's good to be happy."

……

But now, Tang Qingyou is not good at all. She obviously felt that over the years, she seemed to have lost her "happiness" unconsciously.

She remembers that in her "happy" past, in a book by Ying Gongzi, there was a particularly mournful supporting actress who liked to say things that made people unhappy, and one sentence was: "Life is very short, too short to regret; Life is long, and there is no hope in sight. When Tang Qing lived alone in Dijing Garden day and night, almost forgetting Tu Yiran's appearance, this sentence would pop up in her heart from time to time. When she walked barefoot for half the city, and finally used the Dijing Garden as a safe haven, this sentence came to her heart again.

But so what? Whose youth is not bloody, whose life is not confused. She is just an individual among all living beings who desperately wants to live her own life.

Ling Zhi probably also saw her absence, and didn't mention any more words that poked her heart. Although he didn't understand Tang Qingyou's choice, he believed that with Tang Qingyou's background and ability, he wouldn't have a bad time, so he retreated to the position of a collaborator who cared about a little friendship, and said, "No matter what, I'll do my best." Don't mention the matter of investment, but brand packaging, publicity and promotion, how can these help Sister You. ”

Speaking of this, Tang Qingyou also understood that he should not be difficult in the first place. But Hengzhu's face was still brushed by Ling Zhi's group, and he didn't let the other party hurt his money, so he accepted the other party's kindness. silently took stock of the favors he owed all the way since he entered the North and South Cinemas, and how many years and months would it take to repay them? - If she is alive, there will be contacts, but if she has a suitable future, she will also repay the favor. This is a strong voice about "principles" in her heart.

made an appointment to arrange for Ling Zhi to meet the current leader, but Tang Qingyou hadn't been able to take a good rest, and received a call from Tu Yiran that night.

Tu Yiran opened his mouth and went straight to the point: "Youyou, you won't break the contract, right?" ”

Tang Qingyou really didn't keep up with his thinking: "What covenant?" ”

"A one-year appointment."

Tu Yiran didn't mention it, but as soon as he mentioned it, Tang Qingyou was a little angry in his heart: "Isn't it that Mr. Tu is so busy that you can't spare time to let me play by myself?" ”

"Didn't I ask Linda to ask you about the time slot, so that you could come to the United States for a few days?"

Tang Qingyou was completely angry: "Tu Yiran! I solemnly inform you now, in the future, if you have anything to discuss with me, please take the time to call me personally! I just want to hear from you personally, even if it's relayed by your parents, I can't be true! ”

Tu Yiran saw that Tang Qingyou was angry, and he was indeed at a loss, so he explained with a twist: "Why are you angry again?" You don't know my new assistant, so don't you have to trouble Linda to buy you a ticket? I asked Linda to come to you directly, also to save time in the middle of the back-and-forth communication. ”

Tang Qingyou was really angry: "I'm your daughter...... Well, what am I? How can I trouble you Mr. Tu to personally ask me about the trivial matter of two broken air tickets? Your nobles are busy, so be busy! Linda,Linda…… Linda is so good, you can just live with Linda, why are you looking for me? ”

Tu Yiran finally couldn't help it: "Tang Qingyou! Are you eating a cannonball? Isn't it just that I haven't contacted you for a few days, and you've grown your skills, have you? I also ask you, what happened to you and Zhou Zhidi? He actually came to negotiate with me? What is fair play? What is he okay to mix with? If I don't give up, you're my girlfriend! ”

"Zhou Zhi went to look for you?" Tang Qingyou finally clearly felt that he was frowning tightly, "You don't have to worry about him." It's impossible for me to follow him. Even if I don't have a future with you, I won't be with him. Relieved? ”

"Don't worry!" Tu Yiran suddenly played a petty temper, "Don't play, hurry up to the United States, I'll find you a school for you to study, or just mess around, in short, stay by my side." ”

"Tu Yiran, you don't believe me? Still relapsing from the old ways, and want to arrange me again? Tang Qingyou's anger just subsided a little, and he was teased again, "I'll tell you, if you have this attitude, let's not talk about it, it's not interesting to quarrel." I won't go to the United States, our agreement is to wait for you when you come back, and I'll wait for you here! If you can't reach the stage goal after one year, okay, I'll extend the contract period for you and give you another year. Enough interesting, right? Ex-boyfriend! ”

Tu Yiran was choked. Both of them hung up the phone in anger. The next day, Tu Yiran sent her a message: "Yesterday was my impulse, don't be angry." You should think about coming to the United States. ”

Tang Qingyou looked at Tu Yiran's message, but didn't know how to reply to him, and finally chose to be silent.

Who doesn't want their future selves to match their dreams, they finally reached a tacit understanding, to respect each other's dreams, to strive to become a better person in their minds, and to have a dialogue with each other at the same frequency. In this way, in the future, they will have the opportunity to find a path that both parties are satisfied with and can go on together, and find a common future. Now, she really doesn't want to let her easily go off the rails.

Although she also knows that her current state is likely to be the caterpillar effect - the French psychologist Johann Faber once conducted an experiment in which a group of caterpillars were connected end to end around the edge of a flower pot, causing them to squirm around the pot. At the same time, he scattered some pine leaves not far from the outer circle. The caterpillars circled the pots endlessly until they were exhausted and died, never turning to the nearby pine leaves for hunger or other reasons. It is said that many, many people in the workplace in this world are also like this, as diligent as an old scalper, I don't know how much I have done, but in the end it is worthless squirming.

Even so, Tang Qingyou's intuition still told her that she couldn't return to Tu Yiran's wings. The current state makes her unable to see the future clearly, but after all, she can let her efforts play a role in it, and if she returns to Tu Yiran in her current state, she will be just a complete canary in the future, she can draw her future without mistakes, and she is sure that her "happiness" will not be found in that future time and space. The lesser of two evils, she would rather choose the more difficult current environment, and the sheep intestine trail in front of her that she doesn't know where it leads, at least, "Happy" may be secretly hiding in a corner of the trail in the distance.
