Chapter XXXV. Punishment
The next time I saw Shang Xuan, it was at the finale banquet of "The Old Garden" half a month later.
Ji Xincheng's eyes never left Shang Xuan, she knew that Shang Xuan hated her, but she also knew that even in the same city, as long as Shang Xuan didn't want to see her in the future, after the crew was disbanded, maybe they would never see each other......
In the end, whether to step forward or not, Ji Xincheng was very sad and contradictory.
So when Shang Xuan took the initiative to come over to talk to her, Ji Xincheng was once again flattered and sat up straight.
"Leaving the brokerage company became popular, and now I am afraid that there is no second person in the entertainment industry except you."
"I want to thank Qiu Shang for his help, without him, I wouldn't be able to take this role on my own." Ji Xincheng said truthfully.
"What's next?"
Shang Xuan was naturally referring to the brokerage company, Ji Xincheng was a little unsure whether she was caring about herself, but she didn't plan to keep it, "I haven't thought about it yet, let's take a step at a time." β
"How about signing with our company?" Shang Xuan said suddenly.
When Ji Xincheng heard this, he couldn't hide the surprise in his heart, "You, your company wants to sign me?" β
The knuckles she held the wine glass gradually turned white, and Shang Xuan nodded, not joking.
Like a person who fell into the water touched the last straw, Ji Xincheng didn't even give himself time to think about it, and immediately signed it.
"Okay!"
She smiled happily, trying to see the same even hint of response in the other's eyes, but nothing.
Shang Xuan's businesslike tone, "Then it's decided." β
didn't even talk about any details, she signed herself unconditionally to Shang Xuan's company, just because she felt sorry for Shang Xuan.
When Ji Xincheng informed Tang Tang of the news, Tang Tang was uneasy: "In this way, you will have more and more opportunities to contact in the future, and if she wants to take revenge on you, it will be easy!" β
Ji Xincheng stood on the balcony and looked at the lights of the thousands of homes under the building, how could she not know, but she didn't allow herself to care: "At least we can meet again, it's better than never seeing each other again." β
The next night, Ji Xincheng received a call from Shang Xuan and asked her to meet an investor.
Although the contract has not yet completed the process, Ji Xincheng has obviously consciously returned himself to Shang Xuan's side, and as soon as the person called, he immediately packed up and went out of the house.
Gu Shaoze went back to Dragon City yesterday, Ji Xincheng can have no scruples, even if he goes home later, it doesn't matter.
Thinking so, he walked briskly to the restaurant that Shang Xuan had informed.
As soon as Ji Xincheng entered the box, he saw Shang Xuan talking to a man in his fifties, who looked like a successful person.
"Miss Ji is really better than on TV!"
The man is also surnamed Gu, and after introducing each other, the first sentence is to compliment Ji Xincheng with his appearance, and his eyes never leave her chest and legs.
Ji Xincheng's eyes turned to Shang Xuan, and Shang Xuan smiled, which was a level of pleasure that Ji Xincheng had never seen.
I only heard Shang Xuan say to that Mr. Gu, "Ji Xincheng just signed a contract with our company, at the request of Chairman Gu, you will let Ji Xincheng be the leading actress for the first film you invest in us, so do you think it is appropriate?" β
"Of course, of course it's right, it's very suitable!"
Ji Xincheng looked at Shang Xuan, his expression became cold, but he still barely smiled on his lips.
It wasn't until Shang Xuan got up a moment later that she said she was going to go to the bathroom, and Ji Xincheng immediately realized that she was going to find an excuse to leave herself here alone.
Summoned her without thinking, "Commercial Producer......"
"What's the matter, do you want to come with me?"
Shang Xuan smiled, but the irony in his eyes was like two cold arrows, piercing through Ji Xincheng's chest.
Ji Xincheng shook his head slowly, said no need, and then watched her turn around and leave the box.
As soon as Shang Xuan left, the man immediately sat down in the nearest position next to Ji Xincheng and poured her wine, "How old is Miss Ji this year?" I heard them say that you have not been in the entertainment industry for a short time, you can't see it! Why is a good actor like Miss Ji being discovered now, it really shouldn't be! Come, Gu Mou will do it first as a respect! β
"Gu Dong, you're polite."
Ji Xincheng said, and drank all the liquor in the cup.
The man immediately laughed, pulled the chair closer, put his hand on the back of Ji Xincheng's chair, and touched Ji Xincheng's shoulder from time to time between words, and from a distance, he almost held her in his arms.
Ji Xincheng retracted his afterglow, calmed himself, and took the initiative to toast the man, so as to delay.
Seeing her like this, the other party became more and more inches, and as soon as he put his hand, he landed on the thigh of her close-fitting knitted skirt, and seeing that she was expressionless, he acquiesced, and began to stroke back and forth with a smile.
"Miss Ji has such a good skin, she must usually pay attention to maintenance, alcohol hurts her body, don't let me spoil Miss Ji's eating habits, Miss Ji and I don't have to be polite, drinking, it means good, what does Miss Ji think?"
Ji Xincheng clenched his teeth and couldn't help but not open the man's dirty hands.
Putting the wine glass on the table, he was quiet, and said, "What conditions did you discuss with Gu Dong for commercial production?" β
The man paused for a while, and saw that Ji Xincheng was straight to the point, only saying that her nature was like this, and it was okay to be generous, but he withdrew his hand and said, "Let Miss Ji accompany you for a certain night, and the commercial producer will be there, and it is easy to talk about any conditions!" β
ββ¦β¦β
"Miss Ji doesn't have to look like she was sold by a commercial producer, in this circle, you can mix it up to this value, I'm afraid that today's thing is not once or twice, let's take what we need and benefit each other, what's not good?"
The man said, his obscene gaze deliberately lingered on Ji Xincheng's chest, and said: "Miss Ji, don't worry, Miss Ji is still different from other actresses in Gu's mind, as long as Miss Ji cooperates, not only the producer, but also the resources in Gu's hands will all be tilted towards Miss Ji......"
"If I don't promise you, what will happen to commercial producers?"
The man was coldly interrupted by her, he was already displeased, he no longer had a hypocritical smile, his face darkened, and when he got up, he pulled up the defenseless Ji Xincheng and threw it on the couch on the side.
Ji Xincheng was thin, and there was a huge disparity in strength with men, and there was almost no room for resistance, so he condescendingly condescended to be restrained in the sofa.
"Now that you have entered this room, there is no excuse not to agree!"
The man pressed Ji Xincheng's legs, pulled her backhand, and pulled the button of her shirt and flew out, Ji Xincheng was stuck in the soft sofa, and his red eyes were to no avail.
Just as she watched the edge of despair descend, there was a sudden loud bang on the box door.
Someone broke into the door......
The man's figure was stunned, the movement stopped, Ji Xincheng seized the opportunity to push his hand away fiercely, rolled off the sofa, and when he got up to see the person in front of him, Ji Xincheng was the first to be stunned.
It turned out to be Shang Xuan.
"What kind of road is this for commercial production?"
The man had a cold face, glanced at the blood marks on his forearm that were grabbed by Ji Xincheng in a panic, and shot at Shang Xuan's two eyes, as if he was about to kill.
But Shang Xuan turned a blind eye, bypassed him, pulled the stunned Ji Xincheng and walked out the door, and on the way, he remembered to put Ji Xincheng's bag on the chair as well.
Ji Xincheng covered his hands in front of his chest to prevent him from going naked, thinking that Shang Xuan was going to take her directly downstairs and wanted to stop her, but Shang Xuan turned sideways and pulled her to the next box.
The door slammed shut.
It's an empty room.
Ji Xincheng came back to her senses and took back the bag from Shang Xuan's hand, there was a wide silk scarf in the bag, which she usually stuffed in the bag for backup, which came in handy at this time.
In the process of Ji Xincheng tidying up himself expressionlessly, Shang Xuan always watched coldly.
"Why did you come back?"
After a long time, Ji Xincheng asked Shang Xuan out loud, her voice was difficult and hoarse after huge emotional ups and downs, as if she had rushed a long way.
Shang Xuan didn't answer her immediately, but walked to the window and sat down, and opened a long distance from Ji Xincheng.
was too lazy to avoid it, and said coldly:
"Just being by a man, this punishment is obviously too light for you."
The vicious words without the slightest emotion, Ji Xincheng could hardly imagine that they would come from the mouths of the good sisters of the past, even if she knew that Shang Xuan hated herself, it was difficult to accept it for a while......
With red eyes and holding back tears, Ji Xincheng raised his head.
"Will you forgive me as long as I accept more embarrassing torture than this?"
"How is it possible, Ji Xincheng, it seems that your thoughts are still the same as before, so naΓ―ve!"
Shang Xuan sneered and said word by word, "In this life, I can't forgive you, Ji Xincheng!" Unless I die! β
I don't remember how I walked out of the box at that time, whether she left first or Shang Xuan in the end, I don't remember, Ji Xincheng only remembers that Shang Xuan's eyes when she said the last sentence made her fall into the abyss in an instant, and she will never recover.
When I got home, I didn't have the strength to go upstairs and lay straight on the sofa until late at night.
When Gu Shaoze came home in the middle of the night and saw such a Ji Xincheng, he was stunned for a long time.
In terms of life and rest, Ji Xincheng has always been self-disciplined, never sleeping with makeup, and rarely changing the clothes worn outside as soon as possible, not to mention that there is still a smell of smoke on her body now......
Gu Shaoze frowned, turned on the living room headlight with dissatisfaction, and felt that she had only been away for a day, so he unceremoniously urged her to get up.
Ji Xincheng sat up sleepily, and his first reaction when he saw Gu Shaoze was also a little panicked.
"Why did you come back, didn't you say it would take two or three days?"
She panicked that she had drunk too much again, and had promised him to make herself before.
But in Gu Shaoze's eyes, it seems that it is more than that.
The man's frowning brows never let go, and he sat down on the edge of the coffee table in front of the sofa, faced her, and said in a deep voice, "Where did you go?" This body smells of smoke. β
Ji Xin woke up, thinking of his previous dealings with Shang Xuan, he was very sad, and he couldn't just comfort him, but he was interrogated by him so carefully.
As if stung, he jumped up, "Can't you guess where you're going?" Sleep for resources! β
"Ji Xincheng, you say it again!"
Ji Xincheng's hand that left was caught, and he forced it back to face Gu Shaoze.
The man's face sank, as if he were serious.
Ji Xincheng coldly threw him a roll of the eyes, and at the same time shook off his hand, he didn't bother to explain a word, and went upstairs in disappointment in the man's angry gaze.
