Chapter 8: She's in the Way
Ni Karen went on a business trip for a few days, and returned to work early in the morning, but before she had time to enter her office, she was called away by the boss's secretary.
Entering the big boss's office upstairs, the thirteenth master sat on the sofa, beckoned her to sit down, and asked straight to the point: "When does Huang Xitang plan to renew the contract?" ”
Ni Karen shrugged her shoulders and stayed out of the matter: "Didn't she entrust a lawyer to talk to the company, what's the use of you asking me about this." ”
"The contract expires next month, and it should have been discussed at the beginning of the year, but when it happened to her mother, it was put on hold, and this shelf has been on hold for half a year."
Ni Karen smiled and said, "Yo, why didn't I see you urging her to sign a contract before." ”
Before Huang Xitang's state was unstable, the company was also waiting and watching, and refused to talk about renewing the contract, but in the second half of the year, she fully resumed work, and the company suddenly became anxious.
It's rare for the big boss to come to the company, a smiling tiger, I heard it at this time, waved his hand and didn't let the thirteenth master reply, and glared at Ni Karen with a smile: "Karen, you are the general of the company, and your elbow is turned out, which is not very good." ”
Ni Karen no longer ridicules people, the big boss's face still has to be given, and she also said honestly: "Huang Xitang's salary has skyrocketed this year, and you don't know where the prices of the new dramas have been opened, she still wants to renew the contract with the company, and she didn't go out to work alone, which is not bad." ”
The thirteenth master said diligently: "Actually, how tiring it is to go out and open a studio, it's better to be raw than cooked, sign for another three years, right?" The conditions are negotiable. ”
Karen Ni replied with a grin: "You tell her." ”
Ni Karen left the thirteenth master's office and made another call to Hengdian.
Assistant Ah Kuan answered the phone.
After the play that night, Ah Kuan conveyed Ni Karen's advice to the side, Xitang knew that she was for her good, and she was now in the delicate period of negotiating the contract, and she didn't know what to do in the future, so she still tried to keep a low profile. Xitang also has a plan in her heart, the company took her in when she was down, and now she is red, and it is not good to fly when her wings are hard and turn her face, but everyone knows how hard her previous contract company took a cut, and in the end, no one owes anyone. It's just that they have been colleagues for many years, and this favor still has to be taken care of, Ni Karen suggested that she leave everything to the lawyer, usually stay in the crew, and try to return to the company as little as possible.
In fact, during this period of time, as a popular female star in the limelight in China, Huang Xitang has always been non-entangled, and has been busy with the company's publicity and distribution, since the release of "Spring Delay" won a double harvest at the word-of-mouth box office, Xitang's private life has been turned upside down throughout the year, at the beginning of the life experience of a single-parent family, she was born out of wedlock and the rumor that her mother was a junior was picked up very badly on the Internet, and then after a while, one of her classmates who refused to be named came out to prove that she looked different from her college days, also broke the news that she has been supported by a wealthy businessman for a long time since she was in college, and she has had many abortions.
This kind of sending all kinds of marketing drafts for artist resources is the usual method of various entertainment companies, Xitang has seen it all before it is popular, in order to grab profits, there are people who have any means to do it, she herself doesn't watch these news at all, but she is worried that her mother will be sad when she sees it, but at that time her mother was already hospitalized, Su Yun's public relations methods are powerful, and she directly sued the news that was completely smear and rumors to the court, and most of the unhealthy atmosphere was cleared up, and then the media that reported her news had to think about it; Then when her mother left, the funeral was handled by the company, because "Spring Delay" was an investment by China Film, Su Yun tried to invite Hu Shaolei, generally this kind of white thing, people in the entertainment industry, if they don't really have a deep friendship, few big names will participate in person, one is that there is no time, and the other is unlucky, but I didn't expect Hu Shaolei to really attend, and when he left, he also accepted an interview, bluntly saying that he liked her performance very much, and also pleaded with the media to have more respect for the artist's private life.
So it didn't take long for her scandal with Hu Shaolei to spread all over the entertainment industry.
Xitang didn't know what was going on outside during that time, but Su Yun and Ni Karen fought this battle but were strongly appreciated by the Thirteenth Master, just because Hu Shaolei was willing to be used, and the company of the female star was acquiescing to stir up this scandal, which was enough to make Huang Xitang's identity background suddenly unfathomable.
Others can't tell the truth from the fake, and they don't care if it's true or false, in short, the rumored girlfriend of the prince of China Film, this identity is in the crew, and no one dares to offend her.
Xitang has always been concentrating on filming, just because she believes in the company, which is one of the reasons why she agreed to renew the contract.
In March, the Qingming Festival crew had two days off, Xitang went back to Shanghai to sweep the tomb, rested for two days, and Ni Karen happened to be at home at night, so he took the child to Xianjulou for dinner, and when he came out of the restaurant that day, Ni Karen said to her: "I'll tell you why the thirteenth master is suddenly in a hurry to renew the contract." ”
After eating that night, Ni Karen drove the baby and the nanny home, Huang Xitang drove a car alone, glanced at the rearview mirror, and the paparazzi's car followed behind, and now Xianjulou has become a place for media friends to squat at a fixed point, the small landlord studied a few dishes for Xitang who was working out at the beginning of the year, and even Xitang's nutritionist felt good, the point is that compared with the bland boiled meat, the dishes cooked by the small landlord can also take into account the taste, Xitang feels delicious, so sometimes the artist friends who introduce the crew come to taste, Unexpectedly, after coming and going, he gradually gained a reputation in the circle, and Xitang had to be as low-key as possible when he came over for a while. She turned the steering wheel, bypassed the lane chased by the paparazzi, the car drove along Huaihai Middle Road, passed the brightly lit ICC, looked up slightly, and saw the brand logo with a faint golden light on the huge glass screen, and was slightly excited in her heart.
Xitang still remembers the first luxury item in his life.
It was the second year she entered the industry, after making a movie, she had some income, saved more than 20,000 yuan, when she was still a little girl, her vision was too shallow, and she still had a sparkling fantasy about the confidence and vanity that she bought with money, that day Xitang specially asked Qiao'er to accompany her, she still remembered that it was a spring afternoon, the two girls took a taxi together to go to the International Trade Center, Xitang held Zhong Qiaoer's hand tightly, stepped into the first floor with a pilgrimage mood, and bought the first bag of more than 10,000 yuan in his life, Xitang secretly cherished it, I was reluctant to carry it on a rainy day, and I didn't dare to tell Zhao Pingjin, for fear of revealing my childishness, Zhao Pingjin only noticed her bag on the sofa two weeks later, and only asked casually: "When did you buy it?" ”
Xitang knew that he was used to brocade clothes and jade food from childhood to adulthood, and when she saw him for the second time, she noticed the watch on his wrist, girls who read their kind of school, whether they have money or not, their appreciation is first-class, the watch is an entry-level inheritance series, the domestic price is about 200,000 yuan, and it can be seen that it has been worn for some years, the brown strap has some traces of wear, and it fits the warm and white skin at the wrist, it looks like a casual casualness, a person like him, handsome eyebrows, A white shirt with a platinum watch is just the most basic accessory, and in their habits, no matter how expensive things are, they are just objects for human use.
When he met her, Xitang was still a student, although he studied in a film school, but he dressed up with some student spirit, Zhao Pingjin never felt anything, at least when they were together, Zhao Pingjin never picked about what she was wearing, Zhao Pingjin and Shen Min They were also young at the time, the company couldn't even afford to rent an office building when it first started, a few men worked in the living room of the suite to write program code, there was almost a year, Xitang was most impressed by the fact that the lights in the living room were 24 hours a day, Zhao Pingjin sat at a long wood-colored table in the living room, wearing Adidas sports shorts and a T-shirt, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, typing on the keyboard on the black screen of the computer, with short black hair and messy hair, looking like a grumpy lion. Xitang cleaned up his clothes for him, the blue, white and gray basic shirts in his closet were changed every season, every button, every trace of fabric revealed the taste of elegance and money, in fact, they have been together for more than two years, and the number of times they really said that they wanted to go to the mall to buy things was actually only a handful, Zhao Pingjin was too busy, and only took time to accompany her once a year when she celebrated her birthday.
Later, in the next two or three years in Beijing, she also bought that bag, when she left Beijing, Ni Karen went back to clean up the house for her, and she couldn't take anything with her, the bag was directly taken out and sold, and the expensive jewelry given to her by Zhao Pingjin was all converted into money and sent to her.
Everything is long gone.
Xitang slowed down the car, through the glass window, carefully looked at the model in the window wearing spring clothes, so many years have passed, she is no longer the original little girl, now the most used around is a soft cowhide tote bag, the leather is old and durable, can be folded into any shape and stuffed into her box, Xitang used it to hold the script and moisturizing spray, followed her in and out of the airport, hotel, crew.
But at this moment, gazing at the window, it seems to be back to her eighteen-year-old self, and there is still a longing in her eyes, this desire is no longer the desire to go into the mall to buy a new leather bag, but she longs to be a part of the top fashion art, to work with them, to become part of the best art of this era.
Half an hour ago, Karen Ni put it to her ear and whispered to her: "Adam told me privately that Phoebe suddenly fell in love with you and has appointed you to be the image ambassador of Greater China." ”
Xitang was stunned for a while before saying, "Why is it my turn?" ”
The company's internal executives also know that since Xitang became famous, Adam Philips, the boutique director in Shanghai, has been in contact with the company, but it is limited to inviting activities and watching the show, but the last time she watched the show in Paris, she was not even sitting in the first row, they have cooperated with watch and jewelry spokespersons in China for five or six years, the last time in Fashion Week, Xitang saw her talking and laughing with Phoebe, the chief design director, surrounded by a bunch of people, so many years, The market has already identified her as the brand's most favored domestic actress.
Ni Karen said that it was two or three months after Huang Xitang's comeback to filming this year, and the Paris headquarters suddenly expressed the intention of signing a contract, and Ni Karen had already flown to Beijing last month to meet the vice president of Greater China, and the contract was also brought back to the company's lawyers.
Ni Karen is very cautious about this matter, until this time, only to say so much to Xitang, she understands the value of this contract, European blue blood brand, real money endorsement contract, this kind of luxury brand of endorsement star inspection and long-term development estimate, may be up to several years, it is reported that the last contract owner, is the Korean actress who is popular all over Asia, it was three years ago, if Xitang succeeds, from now on her huge poster, will appear in airport duty-free shops all over Asia, Shopping malls, fashion magazines and luxury windows.
Xitang generally doesn't care much about things other than filming, and the number of her endorsements is not in the forefront among popular female stars in China, but the quality of endorsements has been strictly controlled by Ni Karen and herself.
Her mood tonight is particularly complicated and vain, which is different from signing a good movie, this is a new world, a symbol of identity and status in the circle, which means that the artist will be promoted to the top fashion circle.
Ni Karen whispered to her: "The two days are basically negotiated, only you need to sign, if this order is completed, the company will not be able to earn in the first quarter of this year." ”
"Your lawyer insisted on negotiating the renewal of the contract first and then signing the endorsement. So your conditions, nine times out of ten, the thirteenth master will nod. ”
In the new contract with the company, Huang Xitang got back part of the brokerage contract, and increased the salary sharing ratio, and the lawyer said that there is no big problem in renewing the contract.
Xitang sat on a folding stool on the set to rest.
At the end of March, the spring sun was delicate, Xitang held an umbrella, the cheongsam was narrow, it was very uncomfortable to sit on a narrow bench, the stylist came to arrange her hair, she curled her hair for this drama, and combed a curly hairplane.
While she was resting, Ah Kuan brought a stack of couriers sent by the company.
Since the beginning of this year, in addition to the assistant A Kuan and the driver, Xitang has recruited a new assistant to handle some film appointments and financial matters for her in Shanghai, and it is still Ah Kuan who follows her as a personal assistant, and the salary she gives Ah Kuan is about to catch up with the income of the second-tier stars in the crew.
When Ni Karen came to Hengdian, she teased Ah Kuan, "Kuan'er, my sister gave you a holiday, can you go back to your hometown to pick cotton?" ”
A Kuan is a native of Nantong, his parents are planting cotton in his hometown, and when he came to Hengdian to apply for Xitang's assistant, he said that he could only do it for two months, and when the season came, he wanted to go back to his hometown to pick cotton.
Ah Kuan covered his mouth embarrassedly and smiled: "Ouch, Sister Karen, don't make fun of me again." ”
Ah Kuan opened the document bag, Xitang opened it and looked at the company's renewal contract.
Ah Kuan saw it on the side, and was also happy for her: "After so long, the Thirteenth Master finally agreed." ”
Xitang smiled, bowed his head and signed, the lawyer had already told her yesterday that the negotiation was completed, and the company moved very quickly, and it was sent today.
That night, Ni Karen came with good news, "Paris has set a signing time for the endorsement, and I have already notified your assistant." ”
People are still filming in the crew, everything can't be too high-profile, Xitang is happy, and he just went to have a meal with Ah Kuan after the play, Ah Kuan pulled her driver, this man has followed Xitang, almost a year, silent and loyal, like a shadow that will never disappear, the artist's life is upside down day and night, the security of Hengdian is mixed, sometimes Xitang asks Ah Kuan to go out to buy something in the middle of the night, with him by his side, Xitang is also very relieved, he has the same surname as Xitang, named Huang Shiwu, Xitang usually calls him Brother Huang.
Since her mother left, Xitang's mood has been depressed, and the company's contract problems have been pressing, it has been a long time since such an easy time, and it was almost twelve o'clock at night after eating, Xitang and Ah Kuan drank a few glasses of wine, and the two of them smiled and walked hand in hand on the street.
Driver Huang carried two large backpacks for Ah Kuan and followed closely behind the two girls.
Xitang went to work in the crew the next day, it happened to be raining that day, Xitang wore a pink transparent raincoat and walked around, Wang Yiren, who played her superior in the crew, suddenly stood in front of her, reached out and lifted her raincoat hat, stared at her face for a long time, and suddenly said gloomily: "Xiye, your eyebrows are black, beware of breaking money." ”
Xitang kicked on the track that had just been laid by the drama and almost fell on his heels.
It is common for a TV series to be filmed for two or three months, and the people in the crew have all kinds of vicious pastimes, it is not uncommon to go to nightclubs to play cards, and it is not surprising to raise ghosts for divination and fortune-telling, Yiren touched her bones last time, saying that she would not marry until she was forty-two years old, and Xitang cried when she heard it.
Wang Yiren hugged her with a smile: "Don't be afraid, there is a sister." ”
Xitang hurriedly covered his face with the script, and begged pitifully: "Sister, can the gods of your family hope that I will be better?" ”
Xitang met Karen Ni on Wednesday night.
The filming of "Shanghai Spy Movie" is almost over, Xitang's role is basically finished, Ni Karen arranged for her to go back to Shanghai to prepare for the brand signing and press conference, she returned home in the evening, Ni Karen came back from the company, went upstairs and knocked on her door.
Ni Karen stood at the door and said: "The president of Greater China will accompany Phoebe to Shanghai tomorrow, and there will be a banquet in the evening, so you can go to the company tomorrow to prepare in advance." ”
Attending the brand dinner before signing the contract is a good way to deepen the cooperative relationship, and all the procedures are happening step by step, but Ni Karen's face is gloomy at this time.
Xitang stood motionless in the room, looking at her.
Karen lowered her voice slightly: "I heard some news. ”
Xitang's heart trembled slightly, and then a small cracking sound seemed to be heard in his ears.
The silence of the imminent event was like standing alone on the surface of a large empty lake behind the snow, and suddenly a small clicking sound was heard in my ears, and the crack under the ice in front of me suddenly shattered.
She has experienced too many moments like this in her life.
The hangover woke up and saw Zhao Pingjin standing at the door of the hotel room, her mother's last night in the hospital when she was dying, Fang Langtong pressed her shoulder and carried her into the car, and the heavy snow on Chang'an Street fell all night.
Karen Ni only asked: "Are you sure?" ”
Xitang's face turned white, and there was no way not to nod.
She once had a bit of luck thinking that she could escape, but in the end she realized that it was too difficult.
After Ni Karen left, the room fell silent.
I don't know how long it took, Xitang sat on the sofa in the room, and there was a fog in front of her, and she didn't even notice what Ni Karen told her later, and when she opened the door and went out.
The next afternoon, Ni Karen came to the company to pick her up and go to the hotel, the two of them glanced at each other, and they were panicked, but they couldn't show a bit, fortunately, the makeup on the face was thick, and after filming a movie, Huang Xitang's state has recovered, her natural good skin is fair and transparent, her eyebrows are slender, and she has velvet coral red eyeshadow and delicate red lips. Yan Yan got out of the car, the flashing lights of the media were chaotic, and Adam was on-demand.
Xitang smiled and hugged a few foreigners, close to their faces, smelled the smell of cologne on their bodies, and the senior executives of the entire Greater China region went out together to receive the big boss of the Paris headquarters from afar, Ni Karen has been cooperating with them during this time to prepare for tomorrow's signing and press conference, the artist will be closely linked with the brand image, and the two sides will soon be friends and partners for long-term cooperation.
On the way, the assistant accompanied Xitang to the lounge to touch up her makeup.
The bathroom of the five-star hotel was deep and shady, and a woman in front of the sink looked at her several times: "Miss Huang Xitang? ”
Xitang hesitated, but nodded.
But the woman stopped talking, and turned and walked away.
After the dinner, she got into the car, and Karen Ni resigned herself to fate: "If you can sign this contract, let's talk about it in the future." ”
Xitang glanced at her and didn't speak, she thought about the woman's face in the bathroom.
He Lufei heard Huang Xitang's name a day ago at the Sihe Pavilion outside Beijing's Donghua Gate.
She stayed at home in Beijing for most of the year, and she couldn't get a particularly favorite role, so she didn't shoot any more sex scenes, the company gave her two variety shows, usually a week to record a day or two of programs, and the rest of the time was resting at home, a month ago Zhang Zhiyin introduced her to a boyfriend, named Wang Hao, who is engaged in criminal investigation technology by the Chaoyang District Public Security Bureau, and her family lives on East Chang'an Street, He Lufei has lived in Beijing for many years. He Lufei saw that he was quite generous and had a good impression, so she softened her figure, and talked about her little love with him when she wanted to refuse.
That day, Zhang Zhiyin called her and asked her to go out for dinner in the evening.
Wang Hao was on the side when He Lufei answered the phone, and this was when Wang Hao was sticking to her, so he followed her.
He Lufei entered the private room of the restaurant only to find that today he was a big man in the circle, surnamed Liu, known as Brother Qian, a senior executive of a big-name public relations company in Beijing, He Lufei had seen him once or twice at the event before, and he couldn't speak, Zhang Zhiyin and her two brokerage companies were in Shanghai, Zhang Zhiyin was not familiar with him, I don't know why she was suddenly invited, but she couldn't help but give face, so she pulled He Lufei from the same company to accompany her, Zhang Zhiyin has firmly occupied the position of a first-line female protagonist in domestic TV dramas over the years, He Lufei is completely inferior to her in acting, the two are not close, but they are still amiable on the surface, and they often play together.
It was at the dinner table that night that Liu Qianping mentioned Huang Xitang.
He Lufei instantly played a small drum in her heart, Huang Xitang is red, but the foundation is not stable, the most popular Hua Dan brought out by Liu Qianping's company, the trophies of the three major film festivals are all placed at home, and the Cannes red carpet has also been walked several times, Huang Xitang can't be compared at all, why did he suddenly enter his eyes.
Zhang Zhiyin smiled and said, "She's okay," she touched He Lufei's elbow and said with a smile: "We Feifei also worked with her." ”
He Lufei was wary of Zhang Zhiyin abducting her and jumping into the fire pit that offended people, and only smiled affectionately: "At that time, she hadn't filmed Director Tang's scene, so she was quite a clever little girl." ”
Liu Qianping sandwiched his chopsticks on a piece of fried mutton, and asked casually: "How did I hear that she has several scars on her body?" ”
Zhang Zhiyin was surprised: "Really fake? ”
He Lufei suddenly understood that Huang Xitang was unlucky.
Liu Qianping suddenly smiled and looked up at Zhang Zhiyin: "I won't go around in circles anymore, this one is in the way, Huang Xitang has been debuting for almost ten years, and it has only been a matter of one or two years since he became popular, a female artist has been in the rivers and lakes for so many years, and Miss Zhang's company has a lot of dealings with her agency, so you don't have a handle in your hands?" I don't often stay in Shanghai, but you two are my friends, so I'm here to ask for advice. ”
Zhang Zhiyin almost couldn't hold back her laughter, Huang Xitang went up too fast, take the spy war drama that started filming at the beginning of this year, a famous director made a big production, and a start-up press conference accounted for almost a week of entertainment headlines, and the limelight has completely suppressed her for a while, and it seems that she is not the only one who is red-eyed.
Zhang Zhiyin replied shyly: "I also have envy, what can she have, graduated from the film school, is very popular, and won the actress, the scandal of the female star or something, what's the matter?" ”
Liu Qianping squinted his eyes without smiling: "In this way, let me tell Miss Zhang like this, our company will have two big productions next year, one of which is a big heroine in ancient costume history, at least fifty episodes, with an investment of one billion, and my assistant is knocking on the schedule of female artists." ”
Zhang Zhiyin's eyes lit up in an instant.
Liu Qianping said: "Miss Zhang, think about it again, but there is really no news? ”
Zhang Zhiyin was really anxious at this time, thinking with her head searching, and shook her head in embarrassment for a while.
Wang Hao listened to it for a long time, and suddenly asked on He Lufei's face: "Baby, who is coming?" ”
He Lufei replied: "Huang Xitang." ”
Wang Hao searched in his mind: "This name is a little familiar." ”
Liu Qianping's attention was attracted.
Wang Hao patted his head and thought: "Did you study in Beijing a few years ago, and it's good to play with those members of the Zhao family?" ”
Wang Hao remembered something and smiled meaningfully: "This girl is amazing." ”
He Lufei immediately pressed his leg hard.
Wang Hao glanced at He Lufei's eyes in confusion, and before he could feel the taste, Liu Qianping had already opened his mouth: "Miss He, please rest assured, if Brother Qiange owes you a favor, he will never treat you badly." ”
He Lufei's hand on Wang Hao's thigh was released.
Comrade Xiao Wang then said with a smile: "I want to say that she is suspected of killing people, and she is a criminal criminal who is on the run in the Beijing public security files?" ”
There was silence at the table.
Zhang Zhiyin's eyes were so shocked that she was stunned, He Lufei pinched her thigh, the pain came, and she secretly gasped for a moment.
Only Liu Ganping flashed with joy, and walked over and poured a glass of wine diligently: "Mr. Wang, you can drink two more glasses of wine, but you have to have evidence to speak." ”
Wang Hao naturally looked down on him in his eyes, and he could only see He Lufei's big eyes sparkling at him, and in order to please his girlfriend, he shrugged his shoulders: "I'll go out and make a call." ”
Wang Hao walked away and made a phone call, and came back within a minute.
Wang Hao stretched out his hand and hugged He Lufei, still with that inappropriate smile: "Come on, you are lucky, I was the police at the time, and there are all the evidence records of the accident, and then I don't know why I withdrew, I am a victim of my hair, how many years have I been holding back, I didn't find anyone to dare to touch her." ”
He Lufei was happy in her heart, pretending to lower her head and pursing her lips quietly.
Zhang Zhiyin's jealous anger almost didn't set the house on fire, this green-headed boy she didn't look down on was introduced to He Lufei by her!
Only Liu Qianping felt that this meal was worth it.
Assistant Ah Kuan remembers that it was a Friday morning.
She got up on time at seven o'clock in the morning, her artist has important work today, she got up in the morning to make a pot of ginger tea, and then she wanted to take it to the company to give the artist to get up early in the morning to eliminate edema, and when she was waiting for the water to boil in the kitchen, she checked the case of the artist's recent interview and publicity photography, and the mobile phone rang at eight o'clock, and the colleagues of the company's publicity and distribution department called in, and the voice was panicked and weird, Ah Kuan hung up the phone and immediately clicked on the entertainment news, and was so shocked that his soul was about to disperse, and he hurriedly pressed the mobile phone a few times, There was no answer on the other end of the phone, she anxiously turned around the room a few times, and rushed into the room the next second, without changing her pajamas, she put on a sweatshirt and rushed downstairs.
Ah Kuan knocked on the door, Xitang didn't wake up for a while, the nanny opened the door, Ah Kuan rushed into the room and woke her up, and immediately turned off her machine.
She had been looking at her phone in the taxi just now, her heart was pounding with fright, but her head was blank, and things spread rapidly.
Xitang's mobile phone is generally muted when he sleeps, and when Ah Kuan turns it off, he glanced at it, and there were already more than 100 missed calls.
Ah Kuan didn't dare to look at his mobile phone anymore, the man's face on the screen couldn't be seen, only a bloody hole in his neck, the skin and flesh were rolled, hideous and terrifying, Ah Kuan looked at Xitang, stunned and speechless for a while.
Xitang woke up, as if he had a premonition, took Ah Kuan's mobile phone and looked at it for a while, sitting on the sofa in the living room, he still felt sleepy, he couldn't sleep, but he had nothing to do.
After a while, Karen Ni came upstairs with her son on her waist.
Last night, she and Xitang drank too much during the party, she and Ah Kuan were woken up by the company's phone at about the same time, the nanny went home last night and didn't come this morning, she had to get up first to make milk powder to coax the child.
Ni Karen entered the door, stuffed the little boy to Ah Kuan, and sneered: "It turns out that I didn't want money." ”
Ni Karen changed hands and called the assistant to instruct: "The brand that Xitang wants to sign a contract with, all the female stars who have been contacted in China, make a detailed information for me." ”
Ni Karen hung up the phone and sat down, glanced at Xitang on the sofa, and said in an unhurried tone: "Wait a minute, the lawyer and the public relations will come." ”
Huang Xitang is not unhurried, she has watched the news and has already understood that this matter is basically useless, the most important thing for female artists is reputation, Ni Karen knows that this is all over.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Xitang's lawyer came, and Ni Karen couldn't even take care of her now, because Huang Xitang signed a lot of TV and movie variety show endorsements, some of which had already paid in advance, as soon as this news came out, it was bound to replace Huang Xitang, and the film party suddenly suffered huge losses. Just take care of answering the phone.
At about eleven o'clock, a reporter bought the owner to follow up to the elevator to investigate, and the more daring one also rang the doorbell, Ni Karen called the property to complain, and the whole community was noisy, and the vehicles entering and exiting were subject to stricter inspections.
At noon, Li Shu'an called.
Ni Karen's phone was on and never stopped, and Li Shu'an's secretary called for ten minutes before he came in.
Ni Karen turned on the speakerphone, only to hear Li Shu'an say: "I arranged for a lawyer to go over, Xitang, why didn't you call me?" Sorry, I don't pay much attention to entertainment news, it's a little late. ”
"I'm in Fujian, and now I'm back in Shanghai."
About half an hour after Li Shu'an's lawyer arrived in the afternoon, Li Shu'an arrived in Shanghai, surrounded by dust, with only one secretary by his side, who handed him the briefcase in his hand and cautiously said goodbye and left.
Li Shu'an entered the house.
This was the first time he had entered Xitang's house.
Li Shu'an's eyes did not look around the house an inch, but only looked at the lawyer he had dispatched, and his tone was serious: "Lao Xiu, how are things?" ”
The two lawyers occupied the two single sofas, Ni Karen and Xitang sat together, Ah Kuan hurriedly moved a chair for Li Shu'an, and several people gathered around the living room for a meeting.
Xitang began to explain the case to the lawyer, so many years have passed, she and Ni Karen expected Sun Kehu to call the police, Xitang once thought he was dead, Xitang thought that if he died, she would surrender herself, at that time she was transferred directly to the operating table in the emergency room, and when she woke up, Ni Karen said to her in the first sentence, as if the person was not dead.
But she didn't dare to stay in Beijing for a moment, Ni Karen went back to the community where she lived with Zhao Pingjin to get her some hospital clothes, it is said that an unknown person came to inquire about her whereabouts with the security guard, two days later she signed an agreement with the ambulance, Ni Karen asked a nurse to send her out of Beijing overnight, and after a while, Ni Karen has been secretly asking someone to inquire about the news in Beijing, saying that Sun Kehu seems to have gone abroad, Xitang does not dare to be careless, has been incognito in the hospital in his hometown for treatment.
Li Shu'an went out halfway to answer a phone call, came back and handed his phone to Xitang and said, "Your father." ”
Xitang was a little hesitant.
Li Shu'an's voice was always calm, and there was a little more gentleness at this time: "The family cares about you, it's okay, report safety." ”
Xitang took the phone and walked to the balcony.
After a while, she returned, and the two lawyers scribbled shorthand in their notebooks: "It's been six or seven years, and the surveillance at that time is basically impossible to exist unless it is copied and preserved." ”
Lawyer Xiu asked, "Miss Huang, did you go to the wedding banquet with your friends at that time, or did you tell anyone in advance?" ”
"I'll go by myself, the newlyweds know—" Xitang thought for a while: "I promised the bride to go, no friends knew, I didn't have any friends in Beijing at that time." ”
At that time, Zhao Pingjin had broken with her, and she had been in the hospital for a long time, Zhong Qiaoer followed Gao Jiyi abroad, and when she was discharged home, she was the only one.
"What floor?"
"Thirty floors."
"Which room do you remember?"
Xitang shook his head.
Lawyer Xiu glanced at Li Shu'an and cautiously deduced: "It doesn't look like the other party was prepared in advance, it should be an opportunity to commit a crime, there is little chance of installing a camera in a five-star hotel suite, according to the published video, it is surveillance in the corridor." ”
Li Shu'an was very calm from beginning to end, as if he was dealing with a tricky job that needed to be solved urgently: "Who is in the hands of these archives now?" ”
Ni Karen looked at her phone and said, "Wait a minute, I still have an appointment." ”
He Lufei's car arrived at the underground garage of Xitang's house on time at four o'clock in the afternoon, and when she parked the car and walked to the elevator in the basement, she saw a big black car parked in a parking space closest to the elevator entrance.
Huang Xitang's chubby assistant who loved to laugh opened the door for her, and the little girl couldn't laugh at this time, and welcomed her into the house, the living room was spacious and tidy, and there were a few men sitting around the coffee table.
Karen Ni briefly introduced: "Lawyer." ”
Took her to the study.
Huang Xitang sat inside, his face was unwavering, and he smiled at her slightly, his smile was a little dumbfounded, but it was quite calm, He Lufei was a little surprised in his heart.
He Lufei took off her sunglasses and smiled at them: "Yo, the black pressure at the entrance of the community is full of reporters." ”
Karen Ni pointed to a chair for her to sit on: "Come on, it's good if you can get in." ”
He Lufei said with a smile: "You think I want to come in, I asked you to talk in the office." ”
Karen Ni didn't want to go to the company.
After the accident this morning, Ni Karen went back to the company at noon, Huang Xitang signed the renewal contract sent back from Hengdian, the thirteenth master pressed in the company's office, without the official seal, the thirteenth master made it clear that the company would not send resources to save her, and specially instructed Ni Karen to quickly put more effort into arranging the roles of several Xitang plays to the new Xiaohua Ou Lizu in the same company: "This girl can't be saved, who will dare to find her to act in three or five years?" ”
In an instant, the entertainment industry was turned upside down, with a bloody murder weapon with fingerprints, and the crime record in the video surveillance of a five-star hotel, Huang Xitang has been operated by the company for several years, and the innocent and beautiful Xiaohua character with excellent acting skills has been successfully shaped, and it is almost impossible to turn over.
Ni Karen slapped the table and scolded the thirteenth master for being ruthless and unjust, Ma Jihong happened to come in to report work, and smiled gloatingly in front of the thirteenth master's office.
Ni Karen was so angry that her face was crooked.
He Lufei chatted with Ni Karen in Xitang's study, almost two hours later, He Lufei finally took out her mobile phone and confessed her name, Ni Karen understood as soon as she saw Liu Qianping's photo, and she didn't smile: "I said Lu Fei, you already knew this person, how can you say you don't know it." ”
He Lufei said coquettishly: "Oh, Sister Karen, the news I gave you in advance, you used it well, it's worth a lot of money." ”
Xitang thought no wonder, Ni Karen has pushed her several variety shows in the past two days, and her income has entered several large sums, all of which are the final payments of her recent dramas and endorsements, Ni Karen urged the company's finance to transfer money to her, and even the financial manager asked her.
I only heard Ni Karen continue to chase He Lufei and ask.
"Where did Liu Qianping get the surveillance video and the evidence from the Public Security Bureau?"
"That video is not just so many on the Internet."
"What's in the back?"
"There you are."
Xitang raised his head, and Ni Karen was also stunned for a moment, that is, there was still the second half, Ni Karen asked, "Where did you see it?" ”
He Lufei touched the rhinestones on her nails: "The more than ten minutes given to Liu Qianping were cut out by a friend of mine, and I watched from the side." ”
Karen Ni stared at her with blazing eyes.
He Lufei suddenly shook and stopped talking.
Ni Karen said coldly: "Lu Fei, we are people in the same boat. ”
He Lufei sighed, gritted her teeth and said, "His name is Wang Hao, I don't know if it's his real name, and I also have a mobile phone number." ”
Ni Karen walked out, and then Li Shu'an followed her in, Ni Karen said, "Show this gentleman the photo of your boyfriend." ”
He Lufei flipped out the photos on her phone.
Li Shu'an glanced at it and nodded at Ni Karen, who said, "Okay." ”
It was already evening when He Lufei left, she knew that it was not easy for anyone in this circle to talk to Ni Karen about a deal, but now Huang Xitang was caught in this huge whirlpool of right and wrong, it was a good time for her to take the opportunity to raise conditions, Ni Karen didn't talk too much with her at this time, this trip basically got what she wanted, but she almost didn't collapse from exhaustion, she was in a good mood at this time, she took off her high heels as soon as she got in the car, and glanced at the rearview mirror when reversing, it was already more than seven o'clock in the evening, The big black car is still parked in its original location.
At seven o'clock, the small landlord's family came, and when he entered the house and saw Li Shu'an in Xitang's house, the small landlord was very surprised, and chatted with him about Xitang, the four-year-old son of the small landlord was rolling on the floor with the baby of Ni Karen's family, and the room was suddenly full of immature laughter.
At night when the family had dinner, Xitang sat at the dining table, there was nothing unusual in her heart, she was rescued by Ni Karen with someone, during the long time she was hospitalized in her hometown, the little landlord helped her mother run errands in the hospital, no one knew better than these people around her what happened to her, even Li Shu'an, who only learned about it today, was calm and calm as usual, Xitang herself was already alone in the world, she didn't care about outside comments, and she wasn't afraid of losing anything, it was a big deal to go back to Hengdian to act againNo one in the room mentioned the filthy storm outside, and only a pot of chicken soup was steaming in the dim lights of the restaurant.
Halfway through the meal, Ni Karen answered a phone, her calls today are all selectively answered, some have to answer, some don't want to answer, the media don't answer, but you can't take the initiative to hang up, so the phone is upside down, sometimes it keeps vibrating over and over again, Ni Karen suddenly said to Xitang: "Something, I'll go out." ”
Ni Karen went downstairs, Shen Min called her every fifteen minutes, she had been calling all afternoon, I didn't expect him to wait so long, Ni Karen just stepped out of the elevator, and saw someone standing next to the car in the basement.
After waiting for so long, Shen Min's expression did not show the slightest impatience, and he was still the usual kind and polite: "Miss Ni, excuse me." ”
Karen Ni explained casually: "There are a lot of things, I'm sorry, is there something wrong?" ”
Shen Min nodded and said politely: "Understand, Xitang's matter, do you need any help?" ”
Karen shook her head.
Shen Min just came from Beijing: "Sun Kehu went abroad yesterday, and we are still checking the police record." Public opinion on the Internet, if there is any need to cooperate, you can ask people to contact me. ”
"Mr. Shen, thank you."
"Xitang is not at home?"
Ni Karen didn't speak, shook her head again, and the meaning of refusal was obvious.
Shen Min reluctantly returned to the car, the rear seat window was lowered, Shen Min leaned low against the window for a moment, turned around a few steps and stopped Ni Karen who was about to walk back, and asked: "Miss Ni, Xitang - how are people?" ”
Ni Karen turned her head to look at the back seat of the big black car, and suddenly understood, she said unhappily: "Is Zhao Pingjin in the car?" He came down to talk to me himself, pretending to be an uncle? ”
Shen Min pursed his lips in a slur and did not speak.
The next moment, the door of the back seat opened, and the handsome, tall and thin man stood up with the door, it was Zhao Pingjin, Shen Min hurriedly walked back and stood behind him.
The lights in the garage were dazzling, his expression was quite bleak, and Ni Karen glared at him and said: "Her boyfriend is at home, we will find a way to solve this matter, at most we will quit the entertainment industry and get married." ”
The corners of Zhao Pingjin's mouth twitched imperceptibly, and he opened his mouth, wanting to speak, but he couldn't.
Ni Karen raised her eyes and looked at the dark part of the garage, there were several suspicious cars not far away, she said to Zhao Pingjin: "You are just waiting here, there are paparazzi all around, she is now a murder suspect, and if there is a news of interfering in other people's marriages as a junior, there will be no more popular in the entertainment industry than her." ”
Before Ni Karen finished speaking, Zhao Pingjin's already bleak face turned a little paler, he lowered his head and raised his hand to support the car.
Ni Karen turned around and walked back to the elevator, pressed the elevator button, and only heard Shen Min's slightly worried voice not far behind him: "I'll send you back to the hotel." ”
Zhao Pingjin's voice was so low that he couldn't hear it clearly.
Shen Min's tone suddenly increased, and it was rare serious: "I have already asked Secretary He to change the ticket, you must stay in Shanghai to rest, and you can't go back to Beijing tonight." ”
Ni Karen entered the elevator and couldn't help but shake her head, it's really a bad fate.
Huang Xitang came to open the door for her, and at that moment she didn't know why, she looked a little anxious and panicked: "Who is looking for you?" ”
Ni Karen walked into the house without changing her face: "Security downstairs." ”
Three days later, Xitang went to Beijing with his agent and assistant.
Ni Karen let her assistant notify the media in Shanghai in advance, the reporters who heard the news flocked to the airport, the departure hall of the airport was blocked, Xitang did not take the VIP channel, just under the passenger lane, the reporter media and the onlookers surrounded her into a white ethereal dot in the ocean, fortunately, the good thing was fully prepared before, more than ten minutes of a road, the security and the assistant walked around Xitang and his party for half an hour, she appeared at the same time at the airport, the party involved in the incident wore a white long shirt, The photo of a slightly haggard and beautiful face, wearing a mask and bowing her head without saying a word, quickly occupied all the headlines of the entertainment media.
Her father and Li Shu'an came to pick up the opportunity.
The next day, Huang Xitang, accompanied by his lawyer, appeared at the Chaoyang District Public Security Bureau.
Huang Xitang's stabbing incident caused a stir, after a few days of gradual fermentation on the Internet, slowly beyond the scope of the entertainment industry, and gradually evolved into a social hot spot, thousands of people are talking about it, Xitang's Weibo has never been so popular since it was registered, even if she created the first peak of traffic in her life when she won the actress with "Spring Delay", it is not comparable to now, although the person concerned has never logged on to social media after the incident, nor has he made any statements, But the number of her followers skyrocketed by 200,000 in one day, netizens rushed to watch and participate, and all the media were following up on the matter.
Huang Xitang was still silent when she appeared in the media camera for the first time after arriving in Beijing, but this time, her lawyer said: "The law will give my client a clean slate." ”
Since that day, Huang Xitang has disappeared from the public eye, and her lawyer has been cooperating with the police investigation, but the media has not been able to dig up more information from formal channels.
All kinds of gossip on the Internet are flying all over the sky, and a new revelation emerges one day, some people say that Huang Xitang is wronged, and it is not her at all in the video, and immediately someone jumped out and said that the fingerprints have been identified, don't shout injustice, and some people say that she stabbed people because of emotional disputes, and the victim was her ex-boyfriend, and some netizens said that the man's face was not daring to show it, it must be rape, and various schools of thought argued, but they didn't get any evidence, so there was no news for several days, Someone else said that he had friends from the Public Security Bureau tell him that Huang Xitang had been detained.
On April 9, the eleventh day after the incident, Xingyi Company held a press conference on the incident of its artist Huang Xitang at the China World Trade Kerry Center Hotel in Beijing.
The hotel arranged a banquet hall, in the afternoon, the number of reporters present greatly exceeded expectations, the lobby on the first floor was chaotic, the hotel had to temporarily hire security guards, and the media to the scene one by one registration and verification, the press conference scheduled for three o'clock was postponed for a full hour, at four o'clock in the afternoon, Huang Xitang wore a white shirt, accompanied by the agent and the senior management of the Beijing branch, for the first time publicly faced the media, the shutter sound of the flash light under the field sounded, Huang Xitang had a plain face, his face was pale, very quiet.
The launch lasted about half an hour.
Huang Xitang's appointed lawyer came forward to explain the case to the media, Xiu lawyer is in his forties, speaks standard Mandarin, does not smile, appears calm and professional, Huang Xitang is suspected of a legitimate personal injury case, the party of the incident took a violent resistance to protect himself when he was sexually assaulted, but then suffered extremely tragic retaliation from the victim, and the evidence approved for disclosure was displayed at the end, the last part, When two photos of Huang Xitang's face and abdominal wounds were projected on the screen of the slide without a trace of covering, several male cameramen turned their heads and moved their heads away from the lens of the camera, as if they couldn't bear to look at them, and several female reporters on the scene were even frightened and cried.
The brokerage company arranged for Huang Xitang to make a short statement.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Xitang came out of the hotel garage elevator, Li Shu'an waited in the car and touched her head.
Xitang was still trembling slightly.
Li Shu'an's calm and powerful voice said: "It's over, go back and have a good rest, and leave the rest to the lawyer." ”
The reporter's car was blocked at the door of the hotel for a long time and refused to disperse, and Xitang waited in the garage for nearly an hour before leaving the hotel.
According to Ni Karen's suggestion, Huang Xitang from the day he set off for Beijing, he opened a sky-high price to Su Yun's public relations team, Su Yun's people have been guiding public opinion one after another during this time, several groups of people have been in several entertainment gossip gathering websites to stir up this pool of water, starting the night after the press conference, the best public relations team and invited various self-media writers to work together to analyze Huang Xitang's incident from all angles and hot spots, Dozens of different manuscripts have been pushed to the headlines of several hottest entertainment media in the country for several days in a row, starting from the girlhood of Huang Xitang Film Academy, until today's popular flowers in the film and television industry, spliced together a true or false half-truth and half-truth experience, Xitang was written as a girl who refuses to give in when encountering violence and aggression, is not afraid of power, exposes darkness, chaste and self-love, and still struggles hard after being hurt.
Huang Xitang was in tears at the press conference, pale and moving, his voice trembled slightly, this video is constantly being refreshed on the Internet with 100,000 views a day: "For so many years since the incident, my body and spirit have been fighting against this matter, I have used an aggressive way to protect myself, this is not a correct demonstration, I will always cooperate with the police investigation, I hope to give all the audience and friends who pay attention to this matter a truth, thank you to my family and friends who helped me, Thank you to everyone who cares about me, I have been saying to myself for more than seven years, and now I also want to say to women who have suffered similar injuries like me, that we are not weak, we can be strong, we can overcome the past and live a better life. ”
Xitang returned to Shanghai, closed doors, the small landlord's family often came to accompany her, sometimes Xie Zhenbang also came to have a meal, friends and relatives were around, dissipating her loneliness, the garage exit of the community, there are paparazzi squatting 24 hours a day.
Li Shu'an came in with her daughter.
I don't know when it started, Xitang began to entertain Li Shu'an at home to drink a cup of tea, probably from the time he took lawyer Xiu Lianzhang to repeatedly go back and forth from Beijing and Shanghai for her case, at first the two talked about the case, and there were people around, assistants, agents, and law firm secretaries, and then the case gradually came to light, and the others gradually dispersed, Li Shu'an would stay for a while and chat with her for a while, during this time Li Shu'an ran around for her business, if Xitang said in his heart that he was not grateful, it would be impossible at that time.
After Xitang returned to Shanghai, almost every weekend, Li Shu'an flew to Shanghai, sometimes with her daughter, the little girl and the son of the little landlord seemed to have become good friends, the two played together every weekend, playing father and mother respectively, and the baby of the two was Jade, the son of Ni Karen
Little baby, Li Shu'an has met a small landlord a lot, the two can talk quite well, Li Shu'an's wife was an expert in special education before her death, or a private school for the disabled in Beijing to assist the founder and public welfare philanthropist, the key small landlord When he spoke, his eyebrows fluttered, and outsiders couldn't understand it at all, as if Ni Karen had seen him so many times, but he still couldn't understand it at all, Li Shu'an only saw him once or twice, and he could understand it.
At this point, Xitang secretly admired him.
Xitang said to Ni Karen: "Fortunately, my mother is gone, otherwise she would have to be sad for a while if this happened." ”
Ni Karen waved her head and shoveled her head: "What nonsense." ”
Karen Nee knew she missed her mother.
When people are fragile, they will miss their mothers.
In April, it rained a rare time in Beijing.
At noon, the rain on the outskirts of Beijing was heavy, and the spring rain was as expensive as oil, soaking wet on the mud road of the park, and not far away, the small trees newly planted last year pulled out tender green shoots.
Under the gray eaves of the old factory, Zhao Pingjin lowered his head and lit a cigarette, his hands were a little soft, and the lighter slipped and did not hit.
Gong Qi saw it, and immediately walked up, blocked the rain falling down on him with his body, stretched out his palm to hold the lighter in his hand, the small blue flame flashed, Gong Qi leaned sideways and whispered in his ear: "The news just sent back, the matter is done." ”
Zhao Pingjin took off his cigarette and nodded calmly.
Gong Qi asked: "Brother Xiaomin came back from Hebei in the afternoon, I want to ask you——"
"Let him report back to me in person."
"Okay."
Gao Jiyi received the news at three o'clock in the middle of the night that night.
A friend made a call on his mobile phone, Gao Jiyi answered it in a daze, listened for a while before he understood, sent the person away with a few random words, sat on the edge of the bed and thought for a long time, and slowly oozed out of a cold sweat.
Outsiders don't understand, it's not a big deal to see the excitement, he is a person in this circle, after a little thought, he thinks about it all, Gao Jiyi lit a cigarette, sat at the head of the bed in his pajamas, pinched his mobile phone and looked at it for a while, and reached out to dial the phone.
"Zhouzi, is that you?"
Zhao Pingjin replied lightly: "I haven't slept yet." ”
Gao Jiyi's heart jumped: "Your ability is great." ”
"I'm telling you, it's not over."
Gao Jiyi's daughter-in-law was woken up, turned over and said vaguely: "What do you two have to say after dawn?" ”
Gao Jiyi stood up and walked towards the bathroom in the master bedroom: "Be careful, go out with people." ”
Zhao Pingjin responded: "I know, let's sleep." ”
Shen Min was in Park Hyatt Mansion all night, and the two returned home at ten o'clock that night, Zhao Pingjin did not have any special mood swings, took a shower and went into the study to read the documents for a while, almost two o'clock, he walked out of the study, Shen Min sat on the edge of the sofa in his house to make tea, Zhao Pingjin did not speak, took a cup and drank, both of them lit cigarettes, Zhao Pingjin rested on the cigarette saucer, and only occasionally took a puff to refresh himself.
Shen Min looked at his watch, it was almost three o'clock.
The early deployment was all done by him in accordance with Zhao Pingjin's instructions, everything that could be done was done, and now he can only wait for the results.
The call came before four o'clock.
Shen Min hung up the phone, turned around and gave Zhao Pingjin a look, and the two of them were relieved of their burdens for a while, and tiredness came up almost instantly.
At this moment, Shen Min's phone rang again, and Shen Min glanced at it: "It's Brother Lang Tong." ”
Fang Langtong also didn't sleep all night, Zhao Pingjin answered the phone, the two said a few words briefly, originally Sun Kehu's matter, Zhao Pingjin didn't want to drag people down, he was going to carry it himself, Fang Langtong resolutely didn't let it, Huang Xitang had an accident upstairs in the hotel where they had a wedding banquet, Zhao Pingjin understood his thoughts, held his mobile phone and said: "Second brother, thank you." ”
Fang Langtong was silent for a moment and replied, "Don't be too sad." ”
The phone hung up.
Zhao Pingjin said to Shen Min: "It's almost dawn, don't go back, sleep in the guest room." ”
Both of them were boiling their eyes red.
Shen Min nodded, took his mobile phone and walked to the room, and glanced back at Zhao Pingjin: "If there is anything I called you, lie down for a while." ”
Shen Min knew that he had been suffering from insomnia during this time, and on the afternoon of Xitang's press conference in Beijing, Shen Min explained that Secretary He had stopped his work, and he did not leave the company, but stayed in the office.
Shen Min looked at the lawyer a little familiar, and suddenly sighed and asked Zhao Pingjin: "Is this Lao Xiu?" ”
Zhao Pingjin nodded.
Xiu Lianzhang is a member of the Excellent Professional Committee of the Beijing Lawyers Association, and in recent years, he has represented domestic military energy, land and other litigation and arbitration cases, and this person is low-key and does not like to be in the limelight, an ordinary civil injury case, and involves the entertainment industry, even if Huang Xitang pays a high price, it is unlikely to get him.
He studied with Li Shu'an in Chengdu, and had a good relationship with the Qian family after working in Beijing, so Zhao Pingjin and Shen Min also saw him three or two times a year.
The next day, Li Shu'an's secretary sent the complete video to Shen Min's office, Zhao Pingjin was resting at home that day, Shen Min sent it, Zhao Pingjin heard the sound and walked out of the room: "Shu An sent it?" ”
Shen Min nodded.
Zhao Pingjin said: "I called him yesterday to ask for it. ”
Shen Min glanced at his face and asked, "Has Doctor Fu been here?" ”
Zhao Pingjin nodded.
Zhao Pingjin looked at his expression, Shen Min was standing in the living room, not knowing whether to leave or stay, Zhao Pingjin pointed to the sofa: "Sit down, take a look." ”
The moment Shen Min saw the complete video surveillance in the corridor, he knew that Sun Kehu was finished.
Huang Xitang was carried out, they said that the internal organs were broken, and no one dared to pick them up, and the person brought by Ni Karen pulled a carpet from under the coffee table and put her on it.
There was silence in the living room, the player was still, the computer screen turned black, Shen Min couldn't bear to see it, and turned off the playback, Zhao Pingjin's whole body stiffened, Shen Min raised his hand to help his shoulder, Zhao Pingjin shook suddenly, and the root of his teeth clenched again.
Shen Min tried in vain to comfort him: "It's all over, she's all fine now." ”
Zhao Pingjin trembled, and after a while, he could speak: "Let me stay by myself for a while." ”
Shen Min gritted his teeth and endured it, and his eyes turned red after enduring, understanding that the pain in his heart was not at least one ten-thousandth of his, and he didn't dare to leave, for fear that he would hurt himself.
Zhao Pingjin said: "Xiaomin, please." ”
Shen Min was startled, didn't dare to stay any longer, got up and left.
Gao Jiyi asked Zhao Pingjin to play cards in the club over the weekend, at this time the entire circle in the capital was talking about the fall of Lao Sun, when Gao Jiyi came in, Zhao Pingjin was already sitting on the table, and he was opposite Cui Tengfei in a compound with Sun Kehu.
Gao Jiyi sat down at Zhao Pingjin's next house, and Cui Gongzi was talking about Xing, spitting everywhere: "Lao Sun is really out of the Dragon King Temple this time, it is said that all the police forces that night were transferred out to prevent leakage, and I went in at more than three o'clock that night, and it was all solved in less than an hour." ”
Gao Jiyi glanced at Zhao Pingjin, as if he hadn't heard it at all, leaning on the back of the chair, the person was a little loose and sleepy, and the front did not change the color of the code.
Opposite Gao Jiyi was the child of the old Wu family in the garrison: "The Sun family has been empty in the past few years, those two are on, and the Sun family will be sooner or later, alas, Zhouzi, the driver of the old Sun drove those two 600 last time, whose car did he rub in front of the Zhongzhi Building?" ”
Zhao Pingjin threw Zhang Jiutiao to Gao Jiyi, and replied lightly: "The old-fashioned crown of the Su family." ”
Xiao Wu said with a smile: "Lao Sun's driver rubbed people not to say anything, and he got out of the car directly and beat the driver, which can make people old and handsome, and the office secretary's complaint phone call came to my father." ”
Gao Jiyi couldn't be happy after listening to it.
At this time, the waiter came up to serve wine, several people stopped talking, and Cui Tengfei looked left and right: "Zhouzi, are you drinking milk here?" ”
Zhao Pingjin didn't raise his eyelids: "I'm willing, you can manage it." ”
Gao Jiyi hurriedly pressed his cup and didn't let people pour wine into it: "Alas, his broken stomach is his buddy, and I recently found out liver fat, hey, waiter, let's have a glass of orange juice!" ”
On the night when Xitang returned from Beijing, Ni Karen made a phone call to Liu Qianping.
When Ni Karen made that call, Xitang sat beside her with a pair of red eyes, and Liu Qianping's assistant answered the phone, so he naturally didn't dare to admit it, but kept smiling dryly and said that Ni Karen had misunderstood.
Ni Karen sneered and said: "Let Brother Qiange answer the phone, I don't scold, what is his heart." ”
Ni Karen said a few words, and before hanging up the phone, she coldly dropped a sentence: "Tell Liu Suixin that we Xitang are still her fans for many years." ”
The ** woman on the phone had a sonorous voice, this feud is settled.
Liu Qianping sat on the sofa next to him, his face as black as the bottom of a pot.
This time he suffered a big loss, Sun Kehu and the kid surnamed Wang put him together, cut half of the video and sold it to him at a sky-high price, only saying that Huang Xitang fled after killing someone, so he was silent in the entertainment industry for several years, and he didn't know that there was a second half.
After Ni Karen made the call, Huang Xitang was still sitting on the sofa stunned, many, many years ago, Xitang first saw Liu Suixin, it was backstage at an awards ceremony in Beijing, at that time Liu Suixin was still very young, but he had already been nominated for the Palme d'Or, Xitang liked her performance too much, and did not dare to come forward to speak, at that time, he would never have thought that one day, he would fight for the interests of reality with his dreams and idols when he was young.
One by one, the lights were extinguished in front of her eyes, and the stars were just puppets controlled by others, and it turned out that the fight of various interest groups behind the entertainment industry was really cruel and terrifying.
She is the spokesperson of the brand's jewelry and watches, the darling of the Parisian fashion social circle, and someone said early on that she would succeed the Korean actress and become the first Chinese mainland female star to serve as the spokesperson of all lines in Asia, but no one expected that Phoebe the Great suddenly fell in love with Huang Xitang.
Ni Karen lost this battle, she and Su Yun hated this thing the most, Su Yun is a loyal fan of the Paris brand, this time lost the endorsement, they were more heartbroken than Xitang, the press conference was canceled, Phoebe left Shanghai that night, the two of them scolded in English in the living room of Ni Karen's house for ten minutes, Xitang covered Jade
A week later, the brand held a multi-dimensional experience event for new watches in Shanghai, and many big-name stars came to help, in the joint interview area, a reporter got a microphone and asked Liu Suixin, who was dressed up to attend the event: "May I ask Miss Liu Suixin, I heard that Huang Xitang's stabbing was revealed to reporters by you, because Huang Xitang was going to become the brand's spokesperson for all in Greater China?" ”
The media area was in an uproar, and the venue was filled with unstoppable noise and noise, so that the hosts of the emergency rescue stood in place for two minutes.
The curtain call on stage was completely incomprehensible, as if it was just a moment, and the glitz of these gold dust and fine sand in the entertainment industry was very far away from her.
After Xitang came back from Beijing, because the party Sun Kehu went abroad directly and did not file legal proceedings, Xitang did not want to cause trouble again, so this period of noisy farce finally did not file a case by the police, and the heat of the news will also have a cycle, five days later, Zheng Youtong announced his marriage in a high-profile manner, the woman is the famous actor and beauty Wu Meici, Wu Meici is three years older than him, both men and women are very well-known, and the various romantic details of the marriage proposal are overwhelmed, and the news of Huang Xitang is quickly covered up.
Xitang called him at home, and before he could speak, Zheng Youtong said, "Xitang, thank me." ”
Xitang said, "Thank you. ”
Zheng Youtong said: "Come to Bali to drink happy wine, don't be afraid, I will give you a table of bodyguards to protect you." ”
Xitang knew that he had always cared about her news, and only said, "you." ”
More than a month after the incident, Xitang fired her new assistant, she has barely left home recently, and basically can't use the driver, plus there is no income, it is really reluctant to pay the driver's salary all the time, Huang Driver said to her: "Miss Huang, I shouldn't have received your salary in the first place, Mr. Zhao gave me enough salary." ”
Xitang knows that the salary she has been giving Brother Huang is just the salary of an ordinary celebrity assistant, not even as good as Ah Kuan, he is too wronged by his skills.
He worked hard, no matter how big or small, and did his best, and this loyalty was not actually dedicated to her.
Xitang loaned his assistant Ah Kuan to He Lufei.
Ah Kuan has been with him for more than two years, this kid has a good temper, he has a smiling face when he sees everyone, and he can make good friends with all the staff on the set, in fact, the more big-name stars are, the more difficult it is to serve, not that big-name stars are more difficult, but the artists who have reached the top in this line of work, in fact, when they really enter the play, they are all suffering from the psychological distress of the characters, Xitang himself has been during the filming several times, the whole person is gloomy, and no one pays attention to him when he pulls a face after the play, whenever this happens, even her agent doesn't want to deal with her, The most rare thing for Ah Kuan is to have a companionship, no matter how her mood changes, she will not ask too much, and still cook all kinds of health soup porridge for her every day.
Xitang was reluctant to leave her.
He Lufei officially signed a contract with Ni Karen, that day in Xitang's study, He Lufei received a brand new Kelly bag from Huang Xitang on the spot, and took away Xitang's two plays, her contract with Guoshi expired in the middle of this year, and Guoshi gave all the good resources to Zhang Zhiyin, she had been less than many years, she didn't want to renew the contract, and asked to sign a contract with Ni Karen.
Walking around this side a lot, He Lufei and Xitang gradually became familiar with each other.
One day Karen Ni teased her: "What about your little boyfriend in Beijing?" ”
He Lufei pouted: "It's collapsed." ”
Karen Ni showed a gloating expression: "Does he know that you are using him so much?" ”
He Lufei crossed his waist: "He drove on the Fifth Ring Road, and was robbed of his bag by a group of ruffians, and there were important documents in the bag, what does this matter to me?" ”
Ni Karen said again: "I heard that you were about to get married when you debuted very early, and it was Zhang Zhiyin who robbed your boyfriend and made you miscarry, is this true?" ”
He Lufei is also a vivid beauty when she is angry: "Why do you care about other people's things so much?" Who is your baby's father, why don't you tell me first? ”
Xitang laughed on the side.
