Chapter 186: Malice
Ji Xincheng dialed the phone, and Gu Shaoze answered it almost in seconds on the other end.
"What's the matter, is it over so soon?" He asked softly over there.
"Are you busy?"
"A little," he chuckled, "busy waiting for my wife." ”
Ji Xincheng bit his lip and hesitated.
Although she knew in her heart that Gu Shaoze would help her now, and maybe she would be happy to do so, after all, her self-improvement temperament since she was a child made her always a little jealous of relying on others materially, and she was afraid that she would be ashamed of it, and she was also worried that it would become a natural habit.
But being stared at by Tang Tang's scorching gaze on the side, Ji Xincheng couldn't delay for too long, "I have something I want to ask you for help." ”
"Please?" Gu Shaoze seemed to sit down at the other end, looking a little incredulous, "My wife said the word 'please', are you sure it's not wrong?" Tell me, what's the matter? ”
"You know Mr. Zhou, the little Zhou of Huating, right? They signed a film with me before, and I brought a few newcomers with me, but now I can't act, and the other party wants to replace my newcomers......"
Listening to her stop for a while, Gu Shaoze groaned, "Well, what conditions do they have?" ”
"They want to take the right to your latest project."
"Oh? Find your side? Hua Ting ...... Gu Shaoze was a little surprised, "Okay, I know, you give him the phone, and I'll tell him." ”
Ji Xincheng didn't agree immediately, but asked, "Will it make you very embarrassed?" If the cost is particularly high, you don't need to ......."
"I don't know which one he's talking about, I'll talk to him, it's just the right to undertake, we can't suffer, don't worry." It was rare for him to explain the stakes behind her seriously, Ji Xincheng nodded, and returned to the box with his mobile phone.
"Mr. Zhou, my husband wants to say a few words to you on the phone, is it okay?"
Seeing that Mr. Xiao Zhou, who saw Ji Xincheng and Tang Tang coming in from outside the box, he had already smiled and greeted, and when he heard this, he hurriedly got up and took Ji Xincheng's mobile phone, "It's an honor." ”
Handing the mobile phone to the other party, Ji Xincheng and Tang Tang sat down again in their places with some apprehension.
Speaking of this Xiao Zhou, there are a lot of scandals in the industry, some say that he has countless male partners, some say that he is still single, and even say that he got married when he was young, and now his children are independent and brilliant, but they are not public. Maybe it's really that his appearance and temperament are too outstanding, and it is inevitable that people want to add some beautiful imagination to such a perfect person, but it is more probably due to his never responding, whether it was in the entertainment industry back then, or in the surging shopping malls today, the low-key style that has been the same for decades has formed a strong contrast with the boiling rumors of outsiders.
The word 'mysterious' is sometimes really an unattainable compliment for artists, some people do not hesitate to sacrifice their entire lives for it, just to get this inexplicable label in the eyes of the world, such a mysterious person is sitting opposite Ji Xincheng right now, talking and laughing with her husband, having desires and plans, in fact, he is just an ordinary person.
This made Ji Xincheng very emotional, she thought that the person who had spent most of her life running herself would at least continue to take that path, and finally leave this world, and people would still call him 'mysterious'.
But she was obviously wrong, the little Zhou in front of her was completely different from what she imagined and most people thought, he didn't have any baggage, he looked happy and calm. Ji Xincheng thought that he was really living his own life, and he didn't care much about what the outside world said about him, and he never felt that the outside world's evaluation had anything to do with him.
is also a person in the entertainment industry, Xiao Zhou's open-mindedness allowed Ji Xincheng to get a glimpse of the darkness in a certain part of her heart, she still subconsciously thought that she should always adhere to the character design until she was old, but she didn't know that real life is the most important.
In this Xiao Zhou, Ji Xincheng saw an invisible and firm force, and couldn't help but fall into contemplation. Until Mr. Xiao Zhou said goodbye to Gu Shaoze on his mobile phone, "Mr. Gu, then it's decided, I wish us a happy cooperation!" ”
Ji Xincheng retracted his thoughts, took the phone from the other party's hand, and asked, "How is it?" ”
"Mrs. Gu, I also wish us a happy cooperation!"
Mr. Xiao Zhou got up and walked in front of Ji Xincheng, obviously he could be the age of an elder, but he regarded the other party as a peer, and he was so thoughtful that he didn't show any traces, and he didn't feel uncomfortable with the other party at all.
Ji Xincheng took a deep breath, and quickly got up, shaking hands with the other party, "Then a few children on our side will trouble Mr. Zhou to take care of them." ”
"Don't worry! There are still young people who are willing to work hard, you are very good at looking at people, these children have a little bit of potential! ”
Ji Xincheng was very surprised that Xiao Zhou would always pay attention to the young actors in person, and was a little flattered, "If they have something that they don't do well, you don't have to be polite." ”
Mr. Xiao Zhou laughed loudly, "You're welcome." In fact, I might as well tell you that we are looking for such young actors for our next new project, as long as these children are on the right schedule, I can give them priority. ”
Ji Xincheng was surprised, and at the same time a little embarrassed, did he still want to win a project and ask Gu Shaoze for other cooperation conveniences?
Thinking of this, the smile on the corner of Ji Xincheng's mouth dried a little.
And what a person is Xiao Zhou, seeing through Ji Xincheng's thoughts at a glance, his laughter became clearer and clearer, "Mrs. Gu, you can rest assured, I, Zhou, will not always use such methods, not to mention, your husband is really generous, I didn't find the wrong person, in the future, I will have normal dealings with him, and so will you, don't feel that it depends on your husband's relationship." Both of you are very capable, and I look forward to you doing better and better. ”
Ji Xincheng couldn't help but be embarrassed, knowing that the other party was also comforting himself, so he also went down the steps, "No matter what, I am very grateful to Mr. Xiao Zhou for being willing to give us a chance." ”
The negotiation went smoothly, but Ji Xincheng knew that everything was due to Gu Shaoze.
In the box after Xiao Zhou left, Tang Tang took the initiative to apologize to Ji Xincheng, "Actually, I deliberately revealed the situation between you and Gu Shaoze, I know that they have been in contact with the Gu family recently, and several important bids have been brushed down, and they really want this opportunity." ”
"I know, even if we were able to sign in to Huating in the first place, there is probably this part of the reason, right?"
Ji Xincheng was a little lost, she was still blindly confident in her own ability, she had always claimed to be independent, but she was fundamentally acting on Gu Shaoze's cheapness.
"Chengcheng, I know you may think that I am snobbish in doing this, but sometimes I also think that since you have found the right person in this life, why can't you love him with all your might, including your dependence on him, you don't have to think so clearly about everything."
"If it were you and Xu Mo, would you do it?"
"Yes." Tang Tang did not hesitate this time, "If we love each other, only by using each other is to make the best use of everything, if not, then it's another matter." ”
Ji Xincheng smiled, "What is not to be used, when they are ATMs!" ”
Tang Tang saw a smile on her face, and his expression was slightly relaxed, "Let's take an analogy!" I can see that Gu Shaoze is very different from before, you are very important to her now, of course I know you too, but you are so careful with him in your career, have you ever thought that subconsciously you still can't give yourself to him with 100% confidence? ”
has no sense of security, Ji Xincheng hasn't thought about this for a long time, but right now, she can't refute what Tang Tang said.
Indeed, even though she feels very happy all the time now, she still understands that everything is difficult to be absolute, and she always has reservations in her heart, which is unfair to the wholeheartedness that Gu Shaoze gave her.
"I just feel like I want to make myself better and more compatible with him on my own, don't I?" Ji Xincheng winked at Tang Tang, and the atmosphere became relaxed.
"What is worthy or not, you see that your ideas are one-sided, aren't they? People are multi-faceted, you can't ask everyone to be all-encompassing, and all aspects are equal, then it's not a person, it's a machine! Tang Tang said, "You think he is better than you in terms of social status, but he probably thinks that you are beyond his reach from the perspective of human nature, this is a person in reality, you look at this matter in many dimensions and aspects." ”
Ji Xincheng was a little dumbfounded, "I found that it was too big to see you change for a few days, Tang." ”
"What's changed?"
"I'm too reasonable, I can't resist."
"You mean, I wasn't reasonable before?"
Ji Xincheng smiled, "No, I always feel that you are too affected by Xu Mo, everything is so meaningful, and it is not like you before." ”
"Is that good or bad?"
"Is your wedding date set?" Ji Xincheng smoothly changed the topic.
"It's going to be an approximate date, but they want to be earlier, I don't want to be too early, let's prepare first, anyway, there are so many things before marriage......" Tang Tang reacted, "You can now, grasp the topic orientation of the two of us in minutes!" ”
Ji Xincheng was full of food and drink, leaning on the chair and stroking his stomach, and said with a smile: "You can't ask me too profound questions now, I always feel that my brain is not enough." She sighed a lot, "It's amazing to say, when I saw Xu Mo and Xu Tong for the first time, I felt that these two people were not like the impression that any stranger gave me, I always felt a little familiar, but I can't say it specifically, now I think about it, it's probably because the three of you want to become a family after all." You say, is there really a past and this life? In the last life, you were husband and wife, and we all knew each other, so that's why we have that sense of familiarity. ”
Tang Tang squinted at her, "That's so mysterious." However, you say that I have changed a lot, maybe there is, I sometimes feel that I have become sentimental, many things when I was alone, I thought it didn't matter, but now, I think very seriously. For example, when they have a minor illness or something, they are very worried, and they easily think of a lot of terrible consequences, which I used to spurn very much, but now I can't control it at all. Started to be scared to death. ”
“……”
"I mean, at the beginning there will be desires, and the thought of being separated will be reluctant, and then I feel that the rest of my life seems to be very short, only a few decades, and I want to be with him all the time......"
"......" Ji Xincheng looked at Tang Tang in surprise and was speechless.
"Why are you staring at me like that?"
"Tang, you better let them move the wedding date forward, I think you may soon join my mother."
"What do you think! I don't want to, I'm going to have children, who cares about the studio? ”
"Xiao Song, I think he can do it."
Tang Tang complained, "Your Xiao Song, just in front of you is Xiao Song, you don't know how strict he is with his colleagues, I don't know that I think it's your own brother, I take everything to death, sometimes I'm a little afraid of him!" ”
Ji Xincheng had heard some of Xiao Song's deeds, and chuckled, "That's also how well you taught, at the beginning of the establishment of the studio, you two did everything yourself, and the 'teacher' he called was you!" ”
"Come less, I can't afford this notoriety!"
The two talked and laughed and left the box, Tang Tang went to pay, Ji Xincheng wanted to call Gu Shaoze to pick it up, but then he received a call from Song Qi, saying that Shang Xuan had just woken up after entering the rescue room and wanted to see Ji Xincheng.
Ji Xincheng asked for the address of the hospital, and as soon as he hung up the phone, Tang Tang hurriedly came over, "Is Gu Shaoze here?" I can't wait with you, Xu Mo's father is not in good health, he just called Xu Mo home, and now Xiao Tong is alone at home, I have to go back as soon as possible. ”
Ji Xincheng looked flustered when she saw her, and Shang Xuan's matter didn't come out of her mouth, "Okay, you go quickly!" It doesn't matter to me, Gu Shaoze is next to me. ”
After finishing speaking, I saw Tang Tang respond continuously, and the wind turned into the elevator and went to the underground parking lot.
called Gu Shaoze, and while he was on the phone, Ji Xincheng walked to the door of the hotel, and seeing that it was still early, he asked the waiter to help call a car and went to the hospital by himself.
Thinking of Song Qi's anxious appearance, Ji Xincheng couldn't help but clench his palms to calm himself, hoping that Shang Xuan would be fine.
Because she walked to the wrong floor in a panic, Ji Xincheng went around in a big circle to find Shang Xuan's ward, pushed the door in, and her anxious footsteps suddenly stopped, and she saw Si Qian sitting next to Shang Xuan's bed at a glance, and her heart sank.
Opposite Si Qian was Song Qi, and Song Qi immediately greeted her when he saw her, "Xincheng, I'm sorry, I let you run so late." ”
Ji Xincheng calmed his breath and replied to Song Qi, "It's okay, I was also outside." ”
She didn't step forward, her eyes vaguely fell in the direction of Si Gan, there was no emotion, but the other party seemed to feel it, got up and said goodbye to Shang Xuan, Shang Xuan ignored him, he turned to Song Qi, "Please take care of him." ”
There was not much sincerity, but it was not a habitual commanding tone, and Si Qian's expression was very complicated.
Song Qi lowered his eyes and let out a faint 'um'.
Si Qian's eyes were wrong on Ji Xincheng's face, not very deliberately, Ji Xincheng lowered his eyes slightly, and he said hello.
In fact, she always had a feeling in her heart that Si Qian still had malicious intentions towards her, although there were no obvious traces in his behavior.
