The man's pupils instantly turned a little colder, his sharp eyes narrowed slightly, and he coldly lowered his eyes to the eyes of the previous season.

The smile on Ji Xincheng's face suddenly froze, and hung awkwardly on the corner of her lips, and the cold anger on her handsome face instantly knocked her cheerful heart into the ice cellar.

"Is that so, Mr. Gu?"

The little policeman who was taking notes on the sidelines did not realize the low pressure between the two men and reconfirmed it, but he was met with endless silence.

"Please cooperate with our work..."

He was interrupted by the sudden ringing of the phone, which was a public security internal call.

"Hey, hello Director Chen..."The little comrade glanced around and hurried to the inner hall. Ten minutes later, he walked out quickly, and whispered respectfully beside Gu Shaoze: "Mr. Gu, you can take this young lady and leave first, and we will handle the rest." ”

"But the record..."Ji Xincheng raised his eyebrows, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.

Before she finished speaking, Gu Shaoze had already gotten up and walked out slowly, without any emotion.

Ji Xincheng didn't have time to dwell on it anymore at the moment, and trotted behind him, who thought, one didn't pay attention, tripped over the low steps at the door, and hit the solemn and cold back.

Gu Shaoze only felt a warmth on his back, and a sudden burst of momentum almost brought him down. His cold eyes were a little gloomy again, and he coldly stretched out his arm back, half-dragging the person behind him into his arms.

His cold fingertips pinched Ji Xincheng's small chin, and with a hint of gloomy anger, he said coldly: "Satisfied?" ”

Ji Xincheng's little face was blank, his long eyelashes trembled and opened, and a trace of grievance flashed in his eyes.

Gu Shaoze's eyes flickered brightly and darkly, and his voice dropped several octaves: "I didn't tell you, face up to your identity." What kind of woman I can't get? Not bad for you. ”

The air around him seemed to be a little colder, Gu Shaoze indifferently let go of the person in his arms, Ji Xincheng didn't expect him to let go suddenly, his body stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

The assistant had been waiting at the door for a long time, and when he saw Gu Shaoze coming over with a gloomy face, he immediately opened the door of the back seat of the car for him.

Ji Xincheng barely stood firm, the blood on her face faded, she bit her lower lip stubbornly, and her eyes were covered with a faint layer of water. The sound of the car's engine starting faded away, and by the time she turned around, it was empty.

"yes, I'm just a plaything that he toyed with between applause." Ji Xincheng raised her head in despair, trying not to let the tears slide down her face like this, and a heart-rending cramping sensation came from her heart that made her feel breathless.

From start to finish, everything was just wishful thinking on her part. It was she who forgot her sense of proportion and crossed the thunder pool. It was she who was willing to sink into Gu Shaoze's superficial tenderness, and unconsciously surrendered her sincerity in the face of hypocrisy.

Ji Xincheng, you should have expected today, didn't you?

After all, tears poured out of her eyes, and she hugged herself weakly with both hands, crying silently in the dark and cold night.

Gu Shaoze coldly looked at the back that was getting smaller and smaller in the rearview mirror, and finally spoke out in the dark: "Call Tang Tang and let her pick it up." ”

As soon as Tang Tang received the call, he immediately drove to the door of the police station. Ji Xincheng sat in the co-pilot without saying a word, the tears on his face had not dried, and he had obviously cried just now.

Seeing her dejected look, Tang Tang asked tentatively, "Are you okay?" There was a hint of concern in his voice.

Ji Xincheng barely squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying at his friend, "It's good." ”

"Why didn't you go back with him?" Tang Tang asked cautiously again.

"I'm tired, let's go." Ji Xincheng's body stiffened, the smile on her face faded, she closed her eyes, leaned back on the chair, and her posture of avoiding the topic was very obvious.

"Chengcheng, don't be too impulsive in the future. This kind of temperament will do more harm than good in the circle..."

"I've got my own measure." Ji Xincheng obviously didn't want to say more, and interrupted Tang Tang's next words, "Tang, hurry back, I'm really tired." ”

Tang Tang sighed silently in the dark, and then drove the car intently.

It's late at night, and when the day is approaching, some people, some things, are quietly changing.

Early the next morning, Ji Xincheng received a call from her agent, and she suddenly reacted that her contract was about to expire.

When Sister Zhou put the renewal contract in front of Ji Xincheng, she didn't expect that this little-known little artist would refuse to sign it. You must know that "Tomorrow's Star" is an industry of Gu's Group, not to mention rich film and television resources, and is willing to spend money to package and promote its own artists, and because of this, there are many popular stars.

How many people have no chance to enter the "Rising Star"? Someone would refuse to renew the contract with the company?

"Ji Xincheng, are you sure you won't renew your contract?" Sister Zhou seemed to hear a fantasy, and confirmed it again with an incredible face.

"I'm sure." Ji Xincheng naturally knows the pros and cons of this, she squeezed into the ranks of second-tier actresses from the previous eighteenth-tier small transparent, and was able to be active in the public eye for a long time, which is inseparable from the company and Gu Shaoze.

If she was the previous Ji Xincheng, she would not hesitate to sign this contract immediately, but now she wants to give up the involuntary feelings in her heart. Therefore, she could only leave Gu Shaoze's side desperately, leaving herself a little breathing space.

Under Sister Zhou's slightly surprised gaze, Ji Xincheng walked out of the office without looking back.

"What do you say? You didn't renew? Tang Tang heard that she refused to renew the contract, and his little face wrinkled together.

"Hmm." Ji Xincheng took a sip of the hot mocha in the cup, and his face was calm as usual.

"How many people can't squeeze in if they want to..."

"I know." Ji Xincheng lowered his eyes, and the corners of his lips hooked up a self-deprecating wry smile: "However, I also know that if I sign it, I will be entangled with Gu Shaoze for the rest of my life." ”

Her long eyelashes drooped down, hiding all her emotions, but she still couldn't hide the faint loss in her tone: "I don't want to lose sight of light for the rest of my life, I always have to learn to walk independently, don't I?" ”

This question is like asking Tang Tang, and it is more like asking yourself.

"It's okay, if you think clearly." Tang Tang naturally knew that Ji Xincheng dared to love and hate, and he didn't have the temper to drag the mud and water.

So in the next few days, she introduced a little-known director she knew in the circle to Ji Xincheng.

"Although this director is very young, he has a very unique eye for picking scripts." Before arranging for the two to meet, Tang Tang especially emphasized this point to Ji Xincheng.

Sure enough, after Ji Xincheng opened the script, he was immediately attracted by the exquisitely designed interlocking plot. This story is not simply suspenseful, nor is it simply about love, but skillfully blends the two genres together, which is completely different from some brainless youth romance films at the moment.

If you can perform this drama well, it will definitely be a big hit. This was Ji Xincheng's only feeling after reading the entire script, so she immediately agreed to next week's audition.

On the day of the audition, Ji Xincheng saw at a glance the popular little flower in the crowd - Shen Yan, who is also the "gossip girlfriend" who recently had a relationship with Gu Shaoze.

Shen Yan herself is indeed as pure and sweet as in the photo, and when she laughs, there are two shallow small pear vortices on her face, one of which is enough to amaze everyone with only a slight light makeup. Ji Xincheng accidentally read her information and learned that she was a top student who graduated from the acting major of the famous drama academy in City B.

Coincidentally, the two happened to be in the same group, and they still played opposite scenes.

The role played by Ji Xincheng is the second female in the play, and unlike the heroine played by Shen Yan, she does not have many lines in this scene, and can only rely on her body and expression to convey the emotions of the character.

This scene describes the scene where the female protagonist has just been with the male protagonist and can't help but share the joy with her best friend, but what she has never known is that her friend has had a crush on the male protagonist for many years.

Almost as soon as he shouted "card", Ji Xincheng immediately entered the state.

She faced the camera, a faint smile on her lips, the bottom of her eyes was trying to hide the loss, the hand hanging by her side unconsciously turned her back behind her, curled up together, and her fingernails had sunk deep into her palm at some point.

In just a few minutes, the judges and staff present have unconsciously fallen into that kind of sadness that cannot be loved.

Although Shen Yan has tried her best to depict the appearance of a shy girl in love for the first time, in terms of some details, she is completely no match for Ji Xincheng, who has been in the entertainment industry for several years.

In this audition, the strength is obvious.

Director Li's eyes were full of appreciation for Ji Xincheng, but the gold owner of this drama indicated at the beginning that Shen Yan was the heroine, and after today's audition, the director still mustered up the courage to call the gold master.

"Mr. Gu, hello, I'm Li Li, and I want to discuss the new script with you today."

As soon as she heard these two words, the smile on Ji Xincheng's face suddenly froze, no one had told her that the biggest investor in this drama was Gu Shaoze.

"You say."

"I know that you specifically instructed us to reserve the leading role for Miss Shen in this play, but..."The director looked at Ji Xincheng on the side, paused and said, "I think there is someone who can be better qualified." So, can you change the corner of Miss Shen..."

"Isn't it already set?" Gu Shaoze said coldly impatiently on the other end of the phone.

"But I personally think Miss Ji may be more suitable..."

"Ji Xincheng? Where are you? Gu Shaoze's tone fluctuated slightly.

Before Director Li could respond, Ji Xincheng, who was watching all this, came over at some point, although there was a smile on his face, but the words he said were not warm: "Director Li, thank you very much for your appreciation, but since this matter has been decided, then I am willing to accept it." ”

The voice is not loud or small, so that the person on the other end of the phone can hear it clearly.

"But—" The director's face was stunned for a moment.

"Don't negotiate with me anymore." Gu Shaoze's tone grew colder, "It's business as usual." ”

"Well... Okay..."As soon as the voice fell, the phone had already been hung up.
