Chapter 51: Confession
According to the design, the whole roadshow started from Beijing, passed through more than a dozen cities along the way, and returned to Beijing two months later to complete the publicity concept of the "circular roadshow".
After the last roadshow in Beijing, Aspart's brand department, marketing department, Lu Brothers' relevant departments, as well as suppliers gathered at the China World Hotel to celebrate the event. There was no pressure, everyone relaxed and drank and talked together. The six models who participated in the roadshow were even more crazy, dancing and singing, playing Baolai, which made everyone laugh.
Although Xiaoling drank a lot of alcohol, she was also dizzy. She felt a little bored, so she left the hall, and just walked out, she happened to meet Xiao Yiyun coming out of the bathroom.
"Mr. Xiao." Xiaoling stopped Xiao Yiyun.
Xiao Yiyun was also a little drunk, but he was in a good mood and his mood was very high. He saw Xiaoling and said with a smile: "Xiaoling, why do you go out and not go in to be lively?" ”
Xiaoling glanced back and said, "I'm a little tired, I want to come out and rest." ”
Xiao Yiyun also looked back and said, "Yes, it's quite tiring to be lively." ”
"Why don't we go have a cup of tea and take a break?" Xiaoling invited.
Xiao Yiyun looked at Xiaoling, hesitated slightly, and said, "Okay, I'll be quiet too." After that, he pointed to the coffee bar in the lobby and said, "Go and sit there." ”
The two men came to the coffee bar and sat facing each other. Xiao Yiyun looked at Xiaoling's crimson cheeks, and said half-jokingly: "I really don't dare to underestimate you girls, after drinking so much, your mind is still so sober, it's really amazing." ”
Xiaoling was a little shy, covered her face with her hands and said, "It's not good, my face is already wooden, and I will definitely hang up if I drink it again, so I hid out." ”
Xiao Yiyun smiled.
"Mr. Xiao, remember last time you said that Director Ma was going to shoot a new drama?"
"Well," Xiao Yiyun pushed his glasses, "Yes, it's already in preparation." ”
Xiaoling nodded. Xiao Yiyun suddenly remembered that he had promised to help Xiaoling recommend a job, and hurriedly said to Xiaoling: "By the way, I sent your resume to the producer, he thinks it looks good, but ......" Xiao Yiyun frowned, and Xiaoling hurriedly asked: "But what's wrong?" "However, after all, you still have very little experience in this area, and you also know that Ma Dao has very high requirements for the team."
Xiaoling obviously cherished this opportunity very much, she sat forward and continued: "Brother Xiao, I have worked with the crew of several TV dramas in South Korea before, and I still have some experience, and I am confident that my learning ability is still okay." Speaking of this, Xiaoling was a little anxious, she grabbed Xiao Yiyun's hand with the strength of the wine, "Brother Xiao, I returned to China this time and made up my mind to be a good costume artist, can you help me talk about it again?" ”
Xiao Yiyun looked at Xiaoling's anxious appearance, a little curious, and asked with a smile: "Are you so reluctant to be a model?" ”
Xiaoling withdrew her hand, sighed and said, "You are in this circle, you should also know that the life cycle of a model is very short, just a few years," Xiaoling took a sip of tea, and her mood became a little sad, "The destination of a model is also very narrow, either marry someone while she is young and beautiful, or you must hurry up and change careers." She raised her head and looked at Xiao Yiyun, "I have always been reluctant to admit that I am a professional model, and I have always been looking for opportunities for transformation, but it is really not that easy." ”
Xiao Yiyun lowered his head and pondered for a moment. He clearly felt Xiaoling's desire to change her career, and he also felt her strong dedication. For a while, both of them were thinking about their hearts, and the atmosphere became heavy. Xiao Yiyun felt that there was no need to talk about too heavy topics on today's occasion, so he looked at Xiaoling and teased: "Then why don't you hurry up and get married?" Your conditions are also top among models, so you shouldn't worry about getting married. ”
Xiaoling smiled bitterly, she took out a cigarette from her handbag, lit it, and said softly: "It's not that I haven't thought about it, but," Xiaoling gently exhaled the smoke ring in her mouth, "The sisters around me are all married to rich people, but in my opinion, none of them are really happy." ”
"Oh? How so? Xiao Yiyun became interested in Xiaoling's concept of love.
Xiaoling looked at Xiao Yiyun and said lightly: "A woman, who has never tasted the bitterness of a man, just wants to enjoy the prosperity of a man, in the end it is just a money transaction, that is not called love, not to mention, sex is given, it may not be exchanged for money." ”
Xiao Yiyun lifted his glasses and began to re-examine the girl. At first, he only thought that this girl was just a little outstanding, and it was inevitable that she was also a shallow and exaggerated vase, but through today's chat, he found that Xiaoling has a deeper understanding and pursuit of love, career and life.
"I don't think so." Xiao Yiyun deliberately went deeper into the topic, "Rich people also have the pursuit of beautiful love, fair ladies and gentlemen, not necessarily all of them are naked money transactions." ”
Xiaoling spat out the smoke ring, brushed her hair and said, "I admit it, there must be, but it is hard to find." Xiaoling sat forward, looked at Xiao Yiyun and said, "I also found that rich people are actually very shrewd, of course they know what these models are trying to marry them." Xiaoling thought for a while, held up a cigarette and said, "Let me give you an example, a sister of mine married a businessman, and thought that she could spend the rest of her life in glory and wealth for the rest of her life, but later found out that after her husband married her, he was still looking for a new lover, and divorced in a fit of anger." Xiaoling angrily extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray, and continued, "When we divorced, I found out that the villa they lived in, the luxury car they drove, and the business assets were all in the name of her husband's ex-wife and son, and her husband didn't even have a penny of assets. After the divorce, my sister had to leave the house, and now she is older, her body is out of shape, and it is difficult to find a job, and her life is very difficult. ”
Xiao Yiyun was just about to speak, Xiaoling said to herself: "So women, don't expect to rely on anyone, economic independence, personality can be independent." After speaking, she looked at Xiao Yiyun again, "So I never cling to those big money, I just want to find a man who can grow up with me and fight together, so that the relationship will be strong and lasting." ”
Xiao Yiyun's eyes changed when he saw Xiaoling, he nodded slightly, and said to Xiaoling with a smile: "Xiaoling, I just found out today that you are an ambitious person, whether in career or love, you have taken a right path." Xiao Yiyun thought for a while, patted his thigh and said, "In this way, I will communicate with the producer again, maybe I can fight for a chance for you, okay?" ”
When Xiaoling heard this, she stood up happily and said, "Really? ”
Xiao Yiyun also stood up, straightened his shirt and said, "I will take your business to heart, don't worry." ”
"Great, thank you, Mr. Xiao!" Xiaoling rushed over excitedly and gave Xiao Yiyun a big hug.
The drinking party was noisy until 1 o'clock in the morning, and the leaders of Asparta went back to their rooms to rest in twos and threes. The man was also a little uncomfortable drinking, he greeted everyone, and walked out of the hotel to go home. As soon as he got out of the hotel, a cold wind blew, and the man felt nauseous, so he quickly ran under a tree next to him and vomited out.
After vomiting for a while, the man felt a little more comfortable in his stomach and seemed to be a little clearer. He held the trunk of the tree with one hand and his waist with the other, spitting and breathing. Suddenly, a hand reached over and handed over a wet tissue. The man raised his head hard and looked at it with a blurred eye, it was Xiaoling standing next to him.
"Are you better?" Xiaoling's voice was sincere and gentle.
The man took the wet tissue, wiped the corners of his mouth, and then wiped his eyes, as if he wanted to reconfirm the person in front of him.
"Ajma?" The man muttered.
Xiaoling didn't speak, but hung her head and covered her eyes with her long flowing hair.
"Ajima, I'm ......" The man wanted to say something, but he suddenly stopped talking, and the grievances and grievances from many years ago came to his heart. Ajma, you've become pretty, I really don't dare to recognize you. The man still chose the safest and most polite opening line.
Xiaoling smiled and said, "Thank you, I'm also surprised that you can recognize me." Xiaoling brushed her hair and gently touched her face, "I thought that the plastic surgery was without showing traces, but it still didn't escape your eyes, you are so amazing." ”
The man shook his head with a smile and said, "I can't recognize your face at all, listen to the voice, to be honest, I haven't seen you for so many years, I'm just a little familiar, it was your tattoo that betrayed you." The man swayed and pointed to Xiaoling's waist.
Xiaoling suddenly realized, and said a little shyly: "It seems that only my close friends will recognize me in the future." ”
The man smiled knowingly.
Xiaoling took out a pack of women's cigarettes from her bag, took out one and lit it. The man took a few big breaths, feeling much more comfortable after spitting it out, and his head was much clearer. He looked at Xiaoling and said, "Girls, let's smoke less." ”
Xiaoling smiled, looked at the cigarette in her hand and said, "When I find someone who loves me, I will quit smoking." ”
The man also smiled, then looked at Xiaoling and asked, "Where have you been in the past few years?" How are you doing? ”
Xiaoling took a puff of her cigarette and said, "I went to Korea to study fashion design. She spat out the smoke ring and said lightly, "By the way, a different look." ”
The man stared at Xiaoling's face, thinking that he should have undergone major surgery, and his face shape was different from before.
"How long have you been back?"
"In less than two months, W Model Agency was opened by a Korean friend of mine, and I just came back and had nothing to do, so I temporarily worked in their company." After speaking, Xiaoling glanced at the man, shook her head helplessly and said, "I really didn't expect that the first job I came back to take was actually from your company." ”
The man smiled and said, "Maybe this is fate, God thinks we haven't finished talking yet, and we can't disperse." ”
Xiaoling raised her head, looked at the dark night sky and sighed: "Then you say, is this fate right or wrong?" ”
There was a little wind, Xiaoling was wearing less, she subconsciously hugged her arm and wrapped the loose sweater tightly.
"Ajma, why did you change your name?" The man asked curiously.
Xiaoling wrapped her sweater tighter, she lowered her head, and whispered: "Before, whether it was love or career, I was confused and even missed, but now I think clearly," Xiaoling raised her head, looked at the man and said, "I am very clear about what I want and what I want to do, so I want to change my life." ”
The man looked at Xiaoling's eyes, and he found that these eyes were not confused in the past, but full of determination.
The man nodded, and he slowly stretched out his right hand, "Ajima, I know, I believe you can do better and live better." ”
Xiaoling held the man's hand and said with a smile, "Thank you." ”
The man was just about to let go, but Xiaoling suddenly grabbed the man's hand again. The man was stunned and looked at Xiaoling.
"Man, I'd like to ask you to do me a favor."
"Oh? What's busy? ”
Xiaoling stared at the man's eyes for a long time before saying, "Can you help me keep this secret?" ”
"What......" The man was about to ask some secret, and he reacted in an instant. The man clenched Xiaoling's hand again, "Xiaoling, in my world, there will be no more Ajima in the future." ”
Xiaoling looked at the man, and a trace of gratitude flashed in her eyes.
Xiaoling let go of the man's hand and turned around and walked towards the road. Suddenly, she seemed to remember something, and suddenly turned to the man and said, "Man, I want to tell you that you should cherish Jiajia." If you lose this love, you will never have it again! ”
When the man heard Xiaoling say this suddenly, he hurriedly took two steps forward and said, "Xiaoling, can you tell me what Jiajia said to you the last time we met?" ”
Xiaoling was puffed up, she didn't answer, turned around and walked, shook her head and said, "You helped me keep a secret, and I also helped Jiajia keep a secret." After speaking, Xiaoling strode forward and left.
