Extra-Starry Stars—CoCo(31)
He felt tired, after ups and downs, after a few ups and downs.
I thought that happiness was close at hand, but I didn't expect that behind the sweet flowers, there were poisonous spikes.
The phone kept ringing, and she kept crying.
It's only a little bit worse, if only she had gone out earlier, maybe he wouldn't have killed himself.
The phone finally quieted down, and this time she changed the landline, and she picked it up and said "hello".
It was He Jingyang, who asked, "CoCo?" ”
She didn't speak, she understood what he meant, and she said, "I'm fine." ”
"The director has canceled the rest of the press conference, and I can come back in the evening."
"It's all my fault, I don't have the ability to protect him. In fact, I've been guarding against someone making a fuss about cocoa, I just didn't expect them to do so ......."
"CoCo, don't be like this, no one would have thought of this kind of thing happening."
"No, I should have thought of it. He said a lot of strange things to me the other day, because I was too careless...... As soon as Coco's business came out this morning, I should have rushed over or called him immediately. ”
He listened quietly to her crying.
She hugged the phone, crying and saying, all self-blame, all pain, all irreparable.
She had never felt so powerless.
It turned out that it was made by a big mistake, and that's it.
"If Kitty is here, she will definitely think of a way, she won't be as useless as me, blindly telling him not to pay attention, how can he not pay attention?"
He said softly, "Kitty is not a god either, CoCo, don't blame yourself too much. ”
"It's all because I'm too useless, if Kitty is here, Wang Hailin will definitely be fine."
She cried on the phone for a long, long time, until he couldn't help but go to the airport.
Xiaowei called her: "CoCo, are you okay?" Shall I go over and accompany you? ”
Her voice was already hoarse, so she had to say, "You haven't been discharged from the hospital yet, don't run around." ”
"The doctor said that the condition is stable and I can take time off work to go out."
"I'm fine."
It's not her who has the problem. What people in this world should be most concerned about is Wang Hailin who is now lying in the cold funeral home.
But he didn't know anything anymore.
In hindsight, the public quickly shifted from blame and ridicule to sympathy and compassion.
But what's the use of all this?
After Ruan Lingyu's death, 100,000 people sent them off, causing a sensation throughout Shanghai.
But what's the use?
Who gave her a trace of warmth before her death?
When I went to work the next day, all the headlines were Wang Hailin jumping off the building to commit suicide.
With a swollen pair of eyes, CoCo communicated with his colleagues and set up a funeral team. Two other colleagues had already set off yesterday to pick up Wang Hailin's parents.
Today they will be in Beijing, and a large number of journalists have gone to the airport.
CoCo saw a video of online entertainment news, and the two elderly people were grief-stricken in a flash of light.
The white-haired man sends the black-haired man, and CoCo feels heartbroken.
Miss Jiang called her: "Miss Lu, the boss asked if you have time, can you come to his office?" ”
"I'll go up right away."
She walked into her boss's office, and the boss beckoned her to sit down and said, "Pu'er or white tea?" ”
The boss likes Pu'er and has collected countless good tea cakes, so she says, "Pu'er, thank you." ”
The boss sat in front of the tea sea, skillfully washing the tea utensils, and asked her, "Is there a problem with the press conference in the evening?" ”
In fact, everything was arranged by a colleague, but I also communicated with her, and she said, "There should be no problem." ”
"You don't like to appear on camera, so I asked Shen Ling to come forward to deal with reporters."
Siu Shen Ling is the vice president of the company, and CoCo knows that this is the thoughtfulness of the boss.
She couldn't preside over the press conference as if nothing had happened, and she was now exhausted, as if she was seriously ill. So she whispered, "Thank you." ”
"It doesn't matter, everyone feels very sad when something like this happens. Wang Hailin is the company's contracted artist, there is not much we can do for him, and the company will do a good job for him in the last few things. Don't blame yourself too much, you've done your best, it's the situation that is moving too fast for us to control. ”
But she couldn't forgive herself: "It's my fault, I didn't protect him." ”
"Negative news is like a cloudy day and a windy day, how do you know when it's going to be windy? Even if you know, you can't stop it. If you want to open a little, Wang Hailin won't blame you, you have done a good job. Put this matter down, for the sake of Wang Hailin, you should also lift your spirits. ”
The people around her were comforting her, but she couldn't let go or think about it.
"I want to resign." "I'm really not fit for this job, and if something like this happens, I should be held responsible." ”
"You are not responsible for this matter, and if you leave, who will Xiaohe hand over?" The boss said, "Don't think you can learn from Kitty, she retired when she became famous, how can you escape?" ”
"But ......"
The boss said categorically: "I'll give you a week off, you can rest for a while and then come back to work." ”
What he decides, few people can object to. CoCo understands his personality and compromises.
"You rarely take vacations, I asked Xiaohe, he won't have an announcement until half a month later, take this opportunity, you can rest for a while." The boss said very generously, "Just let Xiaohe also take a vacation, lest you stare at him every day and announce so much, he is about to get tired and sick." ”
After going downstairs, CoCo called He Jingyang and said, "Thank you." ”
"Thank me for what?"
"Thank you for complaining in front of your boss about being too tired and asking for time off. So the boss gave you a holiday, and by the way, he also gave me a holiday. ”
"No thanks, I'm really tired to say that in front of my boss."
He is always so hard-mouthed, even if he has done something for her, he will not be willing to admit it.
He called her last night after he landed, knowing that she had a lot of negative emotions and nowhere to vent.
Or he knew her best.
He asked her, "Where do you want to go during the holidays?" ”
"I'm not going anywhere, I want to go home."
Where there are parents, it is home. A place where parents are present is best for healing.
When I go back to my hometown, I don't think about anything, I empty my whole person. Escape from the entertainment news, and also escape from the entertainment industry where bullets are raining.
Wang Hailin's incident made her scarred, and the appearance of Wang Hailin's parents made her full of self-blame and guilt, she just wanted to go home and return to her parents.
Gu Liang was on a business trip in Europe, so she left a message to his mailbox, and then packed her luggage and went home.
This time, after taking the train, she took a taxi directly back home after leaving the train station.
The gate was locked, and both parents were not at home.
She forgot to bring her keys, so she sat on the box, hungry and thirsty.
Call Dad and he flies back to save her.
Seeing her embarrassed appearance, Father Lu hurriedly asked, "Xin Xin, what's wrong?" Why did you come back all of a sudden? ”
"Nope." She said, "I just miss you and Mommy." ”
Father Lu opened the door, carried the box in for her, and said, "Your mother went to the town to negotiate the contract with someone." Hungry, right? Whatever you want to eat, Dad will make it for you. ”
"Noodles will do."
Father Lu cooked a bowl of noodles for her, put the marinated air-dried mutton on it, and then spread a poached egg.
After eating noodles, CoCo breathed a sigh of relief: "Hey, it's better to be at home." ”
She went back to her room, took a shower, and lay down on the bed and fell asleep in a daze. Suddenly, I heard the door gently pushed open, as if someone was looking at the door.
She could hear her mother's voice, but she was too tired to open her eyes.
Lu's mother whispered: "Let her sleep, it seems that she came back by train, and she must be tired." ”
Father Lu was worried and whispered, "Isn't there something wrong?" This child, when asked her, she didn't say. ”
"If she doesn't say it, don't ask. She's out there, and there's a lot of pressure in the big city, so let's not bother her when we come home. ”
Mother Lu's voice became softer, "Let's go, don't wake her up." ”
The door was gently slammed shut.
She rolled over in bed.
Parents are always so selfless and tolerant, considerate and caring.
She slept until the red sun rose, since Wang Hailin's accident, she only slept for two or three hours every day, and only made up for her sleep today.
When she got up, Lu's mother was downstairs reading the account book, and when she saw her get up, she hurriedly asked, "What do you want to eat?" Mommy will do it for you. ”
"Mom!" She hugged her mother with her arms outstretched.
Lu's mother touched her hair and was disgusted: "It's so big, and it's still coquettish." ”
It's not coquettish, but Chinese people are not used to showing their feelings, and their gratitude for their parents' love seems to be just buried in their hearts.
CoCo's eyes were hot, and he was afraid of worrying his parents, so he said, "I'll eat whatever you eat in the morning." ”
"There is sweet potato porridge and steamed buns."
"Okay, I'll eat that."
Lu's father has high blood lipids, so his parents have always eaten lightly.
CoCo served a bowl of sweet potato porridge and took the steamed buns with pickles, and ate them very sweetly.
Lu's mother saw that she had a good appetite and was a little relieved: "How many days do you stay at home?" ”
"I'll go back next week, I'll take my annual leave."
"Why don't you go out with Xiao Gu on annual leave?"
"I miss you, can't I?"
"I just came back for the Chinese New Year, and I miss us again?"
Mother Lu glanced at her and asked, "You and Xiao Gu, there are no problems, right?" ”
"No, Mom, where do you want to go. He has been busy with business trips lately, and I feel so tired that I don't want to go out and play, so I just went home. ”
Lu's mother was a little relieved: "It's good that there is no quarrel." ”
CoCo didn't even bring a computer and had nothing to do at home.
Lu's mother said, "Why don't you go to my aunt's house for a day?" ”
"They all love to play mahjong, and I don't know how to play mahjong." CoCo thought for a moment, "Why don't I go to the factory and help you and Dad?" ”
"Don't mess with us. You, read a book, watch TV, bask in the sun, and have a good rest at home. ”
Lu's mother also went to the factory, and CoCo sat alone on the balcony of the room reading a book.
The sun is very bright, and the south-facing enclosed balcony, the sun and the temperature of the heating, make people warm all over.
CoCo took a bite of an apple and stood up to move his muscles.
In the early spring of the Hetao Plain, although the trees have not budded, they are already full of vitality. The river began to thaw, the soil began to loosen, and even the wind had the temperature of spring.
CoCo saw a taxi coming this way. Because it is a newly built concrete road, it has not rained recently, so the sand and dust kicked up behind the car are eye-catching from a distance.
CoCo was eating an apple, thinking it was the neighbor's child. The children here are all in middle school in the county and only come back once a week.
The taxi stopped right outside their compound. CoCo couldn't help but be very surprised, opened the window and looked out, could it be a guest from his own house?
She knows that occasionally a customer will come to negotiate an order, maybe a customer from out of town.
A person walked out of the car, saw her as soon as he looked up, and waved at her to greet her.
CoCo almost didn't choke on the apple.
Although the people who came were wearing hats and masks, the long legs, the figure, and the eyebrows were ...... She recognized it as He Jingyang at a glance.
She rushed down from the stairs, and the driver had already carried the suitcase out of the trunk.
CoCo glared at He Jingyang fiercely, his eyebrows were crooked, and he could see that he was laughing. She asked the driver, "How much?" ”
The driver said, "Two hundred yuan, it's been negotiated." ”
She forgot to bring her wallet when she rushed out, and He Jingyang had already taken out her wallet to give money.
She had to pick up the box and glared at him again: "Come in!" ”
The driver had already turned around and left, and he pointed to her feet and fussed: "You're wearing slippers!" ”
"What's wrong with slippers?" She said, "I'm going to change to high heels right away!" Change into high heels and kick you! ”
"This is how everyone in your family welcomes guests?"
"You are not welcome in our house!"
"How can you say that!"
"Why did you come here all of a sudden?"
He looked around: "Wow, your yard is so big!" Bigger than the yard of the owner's villa! ”
"I ask why you came here all of a sudden?"
"I'm on vacation......," he said, "and I've looked at all the resorts and found out that I've been to them all, so I'm bored, and I want you to take a vacation and come and see what you're doing at home." ”
"On a whim!"
He took off his mask and continued his visit: "Wow! Your house is so big! It must be very comfortable to stay! ”
CoCo chased after him and asked, "You're going back tomorrow?" ”
"Why? I took a plane and a car, tossing all the way over, and you told me to go back tomorrow? No way! I am tired! I'm going to stay until I go back with you! ”
"Then I'll go back tomorrow."
"How can you do that? You hate me like that? ”
"We don't even have a hotel in town, only a guest house!"
"You're letting me stay in a hotel?" He looked heartbroken, "I've come to your house, your house is so big, you still let me stay in a hotel?" Even if you're an ordinary friend, you should take me in, right? ”
"You can't get used to it." CoCo said, "You even have to specify the brand of towels, not to mention skin care products and cosmetics, and the assistant will carry two large suitcases of luggage for you, eat very fast, and even drink a certain brand of water." ”
"I drink tap water without being poisoned, it's the mineral water advertising contract that says I have to drink their water in public!"
"Please, young master, don't make trouble for me, okay? My parents will be back for dinner, how do you ask me to explain it to them? ”
"Am I not your colleague? A colleague came to see you, so normal. ”
"But you're He Jingyang! My mom watches TV every day, she knows you, and she has a bunch of friends who are all your fans! ”
"That's better, I'll send my aunt a dozen signed photos when I go back, and she'll be happy to give them to a friend."
CoCo was frustrated: "What the hell do you want?" ”
