Chapter 57: Calculation
After the end of the preliminary round, it will be the semi-finals, and during this period, Ji Shiyi has been rehearsing in the place prepared by the program team.
Because there are a lot of people in this kind of competition, the program team can only arrange a few people to live together, as if it is a university dormitory.
Ji Shiyi was lucky to be separated from Bai Manning, and the friendship between the two girls became deeper and deeper during the competition.
On this day, Bai Manning fiddled with cosmetics and said to Ji Shiyi: "Shiyi, do you know that Lin Yayin?" I heard that she is a returnee, and she was a host before, and she is still famous. ”
Ji Shiyi was practicing his songs, and when he heard this, he put down the songbook and said lightly: "Yes, she interviewed me before, and the rest is nothing, and we don't know each other." ”
Bai Manning saw that there was no one else in the room crowded to Ji Shiyi's side and muttered, "I have heard, she has been popular for a long time, and those big-name cosmetics are given away everywhere as if they don't need money, don't you say that there are really people who eat her, and now her reputation is good." ”
Ji Shiyi shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "It has nothing to do with us what others do, we just need to do our own thing." ”
Bai Manning pursed her lips and didn't say anything more, in fact, she knew very well that Lin Yayin didn't like Ji Shiyi, and was even targeting Ji Shiyi, because Lin Yayin gave gifts to everyone, but not Ji Shiyi, and because she had a good relationship with Ji Shiyi, she naturally didn't have a share.
She didn't say anything, but she was still a little unbalanced in her heart.
During the rematch, the makeup artist put on makeup for everyone, and it stands to reason that they came in order of everyone playing, Ji Shiyi was originally the first few to play, but the makeup artist delayed giving her makeup, Ji Shiyi was anxious, stopped the makeup artist and couldn't help asking: "Sister Li, is it time for me?" ”
Sister Li frowned, "Shi Yi, I'm sorry, I'm a little busy today, you can wait a little longer." ”
Now that it's time for her to compete, where does Ji Shiyi have time to wait?
She frowned and wanted to say something, but Sister Li passed her and went directly to work on something else, Ji Shiyi stood in place and her face was a little ugly.
Lin Yayin on the side saw a sneer in her heart, she sat calmly in her seat, her makeup artist was invited alone, although she was not a too famous makeup artist, but in this group of people, her treatment was already very enviable.
Just when Ji Shiyi didn't know what to do, a cool female voice sounded, "Who is Ji Shiyi?" ”
Ji Shiyi came back to his senses and shouted, "It's me." ”
"Hurry up and put on makeup, you're about to play, what are you doing in a daze?" It was a short-haired and capable woman who spoke, Ji Shiyi was confused, but as soon as she heard that she could put on makeup, she hurriedly ran over.
Seeing this, everyone looked at each other, and some people who knew the woman shouted in surprise: "Isn't that Lin Xuan's royal makeup artist?" ”
Lin Yayin couldn't help but ask because she hadn't said anything about these things because she had just returned to China, "Who is Lin Xuan?" ”
Her makeup artist looked at her in surprise, "Lin Xuan, you don't even know?" He is a senior actor, he has won a grand slam, a real actor, it is said that he has cooperated with the station to record some short films in the past few days, but I didn't expect Ji Shiyi to even know the actor. ”
Lin Yayin didn't speak, and her heart was full of jealousy.
And after Ji Shiyi came to the next door and found that it was her, she asked puzzledly: "Hello, who are you?" ”
The short-haired woman smiled and said, "Just call me Sister Chen, don't be nervous, I will be able to help you put on makeup soon, you can just behave well on stage as soon as you come on stage." ”
Ji Shiyi's mood finally relaxed a little, and she asked with a smile: "Thank you, otherwise I really don't know what to do." ”
She thought that this was also the makeup artist of the program group, so she didn't ask much, I have to say that this Sister Chen's makeup skills are really strong, and in just a few minutes, she is like a different person.
In the lounge, Lin Xuan made a phone call, "I said President Huo, this is the first time you have asked me for help, I didn't expect it to be a woman, what?" The new favorite? ”
It turned out that Lin Xuan and Huo Ming were good friends, he was recording his own short film and suddenly received a call from Huo Ming asking him to help, to be honest, he was quite surprised at the time, because it was the first time Huo Ming asked him for help in so many years.
Huo Ming smiled wickedly on the other side of the phone, "Why did you say that I seem to be a playboy, okay, I remembered it this time, and I will invite you to dinner when I go back." ”
The two hung up the phone after a few brief greetings, and Huo Ming's assistant looked at him behind him and stopped talking.
The assistant really didn't understand why Huo Ming paid so much attention to Ji Shiyi, he was very concerned from the preliminary round to the semi-finals, and when he heard that someone had stumbled on Ji Shiyi, he hurriedly ordered someone to investigate, and he did not hesitate to personally ask someone to relieve Ji Shiyi!
The assistant felt that he was becoming more and more unable to understand Huo Ming's thoughts.
The process of the rematch was not calm, it is impossible to say that it has no impact on Ji Shiyi at all, it is still somewhat affected, so that she only won a second place in the end, and the first place is Lin Yayin.
is different from the situation when Shi Yi won the first place in the early season, that time, many people were jealous of Ji Shiyi gossiping about her behind her back.
And Lin Yayin is more like she deserves her name, not only are few people jealous of her when she gets the first, but on the contrary, there are many people who compliment her and scold her.
Ji Shiyi shook her head when she saw it, she now understood Bai Manning's words, it seems that Lin Yayin's usual small actions were not in vain, no, these people were all bought by her.
In fact, Ji Shiyi is a very upright person in her bones, she is most used to seeing people doing this kind of small action, she is very puzzled by Lin Yayin's approach, and she even suspects that so many accidents in her rematch are likely to be from Lin Yayin's handwriting.
This made her very angry, and at the same time aroused her competitiveness, didn't Lin Yayin just don't want her to be the first, so she just got the first place for her.
Lin Yayin didn't know that she was self-defeating, and she was still immersed in the joy of getting the first.
In the evening, Lin Yayin invited everyone to dinner, she specially invited Ji Shiyi, originally Ji Shiyi didn't want to go, but Bai Manning persuaded her, "Shiyi, let's go, if we don't show how unsocial we are." ”
Ji Shiyi thought about it, so he simply went with everyone.
At the dinner table, everyone kept complimenting Lin Yayin, Ji Shiyi didn't like to listen to it, and quietly went to the bathroom, but when she was about to come out, she suddenly heard someone mention her name.
"Bai Manning, haven't you and that Ji Shiyi just known each other for a short time, is it worth giving up your future for her?" This voice is known to Ji Shiyi, and it is the player named Guan Xin.
She frowned, and sat back down, she wanted to hear what was going on.
Then she heard Bai Manning hesitantly say: "But isn't this too much, even if you don't like her, there's no need to ruin her like this, right?" ”
Ji Shiyi frowned, and secretly said that he finally didn't misunderstand Bai Manning's character.
But who knows, the next second she heard the two of them say: "What is this, there are countless ways to destroy a person, this time it is just designed for her to be slept with, next time it may not be anything, you think about it, miss this opportunity, you may never have a bright future." ”
Just when Ji Shiyi thought that Bai Manning would still refuse, she was surprised to hear Bai Manning whisper: "Okay, I'll do it." ”
At this moment, Ji Shiyi couldn't tell what she was feeling in her heart, she really regarded Bai Manning as a good friend during this time, but she didn't expect it......
After a long time, Ji Shiyi returned to the dinner table, and Bai Manning walked over enthusiastically, "Shiyi, where have you been, I thought you were gone." ”
"Are you nervous when I'm gone?" Ji Shiyi looked at her quietly, Bai Manning's expression stiffened, and then said with a smile: "How could it be." ”
Ji Shiyi also smiled, "I'm kidding." ”
Bai Manning breathed a sigh of relief, and then she picked up a glass of wine and handed it to Ji Shiyi, "Shiyi, let's have a drink, the finals are coming soon, I wish we all get a good ranking." ”
Ji Shiyi looked at this glass of wine for a long time and didn't move, just when Bai Manning thought that she wouldn't take it, Ji Shiyi calmly took the wine glass, and said with a smile: "Manning, after this time, maybe we will be separated." ”
Bai Manning thought that she was saying that they would go their separate ways after the game, but she didn't care, just stared nervously at the wine glass in Ji Shiyi's hand.
Ji Shiyi drank all the wine in the wine glass in front of her, Bai Manning quietly exhaled, and then looked at Ji Shiyi with a little regret.
But she didn't know that Ji Shiyi didn't drink that glass of wine, she hid a sponge in her sleeve before she entered the house, and now the glass of wine is on the sponge.
After a while, Ji Shiyi pretended to look depressed as if he had drunk too much, and Bai Manning helped Ji Shiyi up after receiving the signal, "Shiyi, you drank too much, I'll help you go to rest first." ”
Ji Shiyi faltered, Bai Manning helped her to the suite on the top floor, she stared at Ji Shiyi by the bed with a little melancholy for a long time, but in the end she left without saying a word.
When Ji Shiyi was the only one left in the room, she opened her eyes soberly.
Just now was the last chance she gave Bai Manning, as long as Bai Manning could wake up in time, confess to her, or rescue her, she would ignore her past suspicions, but Bai Manning didn't.
For the sake of profit, she still betrayed herself.
Ji Shiyi was very sad in his heart, and once again understood how terrible interests can make a person become, Ji Fengzhou is one, and Bai Manning is another.
She didn't hurt anymore, since Bai Manning was obsessed, then the fate between them ended here.
Ji Shiyi got up from the bed and quietly left the hotel.
At night, the city is bustling and noisy, and she walks alone on the street, feeling noisy and lonely around her.
She fantasized about her future life, and the life she longed for the most was to have a small house, a dog, and then she calmly guarded the two little ones to grow up.
