Chapter 45
Getting out of the car, Tong Yu took the money and rushed to Bai Yi's address without looking back. A girl who suddenly loses everything while growing up will tear her apart with a heavy blow. Jingwu also said that without a house, I really don't know what kind of loss Bai Yi will fall into. So, the usefulness of this money is needless to say.
Recalling how she got along with Bai Yi these days, the rich emotions she originally had were not at all obvious. In front of Tong Yu, she never hinted at or clarified the predicament she was encountering, always doing the right thing at the right time, and using nature as the most thoughtful disguise to conceal it. Tong Yu used to feel that Bai Yi seemed to have grown up, but now it seems that she is more and more tenacious and independent in her nature.
Coming to the street indicated by the address, near Bai Yi's house, Tong Yu saw a group of people from the moving company coming in and out of her house. Tong Yu was not mistaken, if the house was repossessed, the furniture and supplies would definitely be moved out, but now on the contrary, people went in and out of Bai Yi's house and sent the furniture back.
Tong Yu walked straight to her house, and he saw Bai Yi talking to someone, and the two were talking and laughing about something. Tong Yu said hello, and Bai Yi turned around. At that time, Bai Yi happened to block the face of the other interlocutor during the conversation, but now it was completely staggered, and Tong Yu immediately recognized who was talking to Bai Yi.
The man was not afraid of anything, and walked forward with steady steps, asking for a standard handshake with Tong Yu. Looking at this boy of the same age as himself, judging from his simple clothes and mousse-smeared back hairstyle, his old business demeanor is incompatible with his age.
The man spoke, with an incomplete smile on the corner of his mouth, but overall it was very refreshing, and it did not make people feel uncomfortable or unhappy. He said, "Hello, my name is Kong Lingwen. ”
Hearing his speech, Tong Yu fully understood the meaning of his smile, and the pride and immodesty in it were exactly the same as his expression, as if he was born to be one level nobler than others. Tong Yu didn't dislike him, but felt that this was more in line with his temperament, and the things that were in harmony could always make people capture the beauty, just like a beggar wearing a gorgeous costume may not be able to gain your respect.
"I think I've seen you, you're the audience commentator." Tong Yu said, "Did you know each other before? ”
"I don't know." Bai Yi said: "He came to me for something, but he helped me a lot. ”
"It's all a trivial matter, and as soon as I heard that it had something to do with you, I rushed over." Kong Lingwen explained some words that Tong Yu didn't understand, as if he deliberately emphasized that it was related to Bai Yi, and listened to Kong Lingwen's suggestion: "At this point, we can sit down and eat something and talk slowly." Then, I saw him explain a few words in front of the movers.
Tong Yu did not refuse his suggestion, and the three of them ordered a table at a nearby hotel. At first, Kong Lingwen got the menu and pushed it directly to Tong Yu. Tong Yu didn't know if he was too sensitive, according to the age of the three of them, how could he follow the etiquette of lady first, he didn't believe that this behavior was out of respect for himself, or in Kong Lingwen's heart, he was already an outsider, so he needed to be taken care of everywhere. This is too domineering and egoistic, so what kind of relationship does he have with Bai Yi?
Although there was a not-so-wonderful feeling, Tong Yu silently ordered the dish first, then Bai Yi, and then Kong Lingwen. Tong Yu didn't hold back his curiosity and asked, "Why are you here?" ”
Kong Lingwen laughed and said, "Are you talking about me?" ”
There is no one else here, the direction of Tong Yu's question is very clear, but Kong Lingwen's way of speaking seems to be normal. Tong Yu has a strange psychology, he actually walked to Bai Yi's house for the first time, although he had a plan before, but it was only a plan, but he always felt that in the relationship with Bai Yi, he should have a more superior sense than Kong Lingwen.
Heard Kong Lingwen say again: "This is a very coincidental thing, after explaining today, someone reported to me that he wanted to take back a property for auction, the owner is Bai Shoutao, the former director of the Public Security Bureau of Futian City, and later I knew that he also had a daughter named Bai Yi, so I came to take a look." ”
The word "report" inadvertently revealed a lot of information, Tong Yu said: "Then the problem is solved now." He smiled again: "It cost a lot of money." "It's that weird psychology at work.
"Five hundred thousand." Kong Lingwen said that at this time, the dishes also came up one after another.
Bai Yi echoed and explained: "Mr. Kong signed an anchor contract for me, asked me to go live on his platform, and gave me a guaranteed annual salary of 500,000 yuan. ”
Kong Lingwen also said: "This contract is beneficial to Bai Yi, she has the talent to comment, and I will use the resources of the platform to repackage her in the future, and she will definitely become a famous anchor." ”
Later, Tong Yu learned that Kong Lingwen's family business is very large, and the e-sports industry is just his new industry, he has money, but he also needs people. However, the amount of the guaranteed annual salary is too coincidental with the price of the property, Tong Yu thinks that this should not be just a superficial recruitment of a popular anchor for the platform, Kong Lingwen must be thinking about some other thoughts.
Originally, Tong Yu's original intention was also to help Bai Yi in the direction of popular commentary, but now that someone is helping, he is not very happy, but the loneliness of being "first" is even stronger. Tong Yu unconsciously told a joke: "Will you sell yourself for 500,000 yuan?" ”
"But I've got to have a house." Bai Yi replied, not against Tong Yu's jokes. Tong Yu's help to her, she still has a deep feeling. Another appearance without this commentary, who will give her the opportunity to sign an anchor. In the dark, it was Tong Yu who brought her from a desperate situation to an open avenue.
Tong Yu reached out and brought the leather bag to the table and said, "Actually, I also have a surprise." Then he pushed the chain of the purse away, and a large amount of banknotes inside were already expressing "I also have 500,000" for Tong Yu.
The three of them were silent for a while, and the atmosphere was a little tense, which everyone could feel. Tong Yu said: "I don't think you need to rely on the packaging of publicity and hype now, your strength can be completely down-to-earth, step by step, and when you reach that height, fans and popularity will be there." ”
"Mr. Tong is right." Kong Lingwen said: "The way to earn popularity depends on the person, and with Bai Yi's strength, being down-to-earth is the best choice." ”
Tong Yu waited for Kong Lingwen's reversal, he didn't think that Kong Lingwen would let Bai Yi go easily. Kong Lingwen said: "But the explosion of the game is only a few years old, if you don't hurry up, it may really pass." ”
"You're pulling out the seedlings." Tong Yu was a little angry.
"Internet celebrities are all overnight successes." Kong Lingwen said: "To earn fame, you don't have to take a gradual path, no one cares how popular she is, the key is that someone knows her." ”
"This is to win the freshness of the masses for a while, and she can't go far like this."
"Nobody said she was going to go far to make money. It takes a few years to earn money that cannot be spent in a lifetime, which is the dream of many people. ”
"That's not a dream at all, it's money, that's miser. Many people don't know what they want in this life, and Bai Yi herself doesn't know. ”
"Then do you think you know her?"
The topic of the quarrel between the two has spread to Bai Yi, and they are both waiting for Bai Yi's reply. Bai Yi said: "The contract has been signed. ”
Kong Lingwen smiled and said, "It's okay, as long as you want, I can lift it unconditionally." "Everything is a show of respect for Bai Yi.
Bai Yi said: "No, my dream now is to make money, and I can't manage it so much." Then he changed the conversation and said to Tong Yu: "You are not my parents, why do you want to decide my choice." I'm very grateful to you, I don't think anyone would have noticed me without today's commentary. You also support me on this path, otherwise why bother to teach me. ”
Of course, Tong Yu supported her decision and gave her the opportunity to explain today's game, in addition to allowing her to solve her current urgent need for money, and more importantly, to help her find a career that she loves. He suggested that Bai Yi be down-to-earth, not to underestimate Bai Yi's strength, but to need her to understand the things in the circle step by step, and after she saw all the world, she still chose to love this profession, and Tong Yu had no objection. It's just that now I have made a hasty decision to go directly to the center of the vortex in the e-sports circle, and once things take a turn for the better, Bai Yi wants to break away again, I'm afraid there will be no room for maneuvering.
This is Tong Yu's thinking on the long-term line, and it is also out of protection for Bai Yi, but this kind of thinking actually makes him feel stunned, and he has to admit that the conversation at the dinner table during that time is to a certain extent the result of being dominated by that strange psychology. The truth of the words cannot be verified at the time of exit, only to see how events unfold later, but people can always find all kinds of good reasons for their motives. Tong Yu just didn't want Bai Yi to run under Kong Lingwen, he also had a way to build Bai Yi's future, now that the person is gone, it doesn't mean that he won't care about Bai Yi in the future, it's just that when the problem happens, it is difficult for him to control it anymore.
Bai Yi said, "Thank you." ”
Tong Yu said: "I should be thanked." "Hidden because of his father.
