Chapter 30: Fame
Shen Shidi's photo was printed, and Shen Mengxi was very satisfied with the effect of the photo, because her round face was taken a little smaller. Shen Shidi begged her to hang one of the half-length side photos in the window for advertising, but Shen Mengxi refused.
The photos taken in Harbin were also printed, and a thick stack was placed in the study.
In the whole house, only the study room does not need to be cleaned by A-Qing, and Helen never enters, which is a relatively private space for Shen Mengxi. She flipped through the photos one by one, picked out the single photos of Wang Shouqing and herself, and the rest were sandwiched into the album one by one, marked, and put into the Wuling space for collection. put two photos of Wang Shouqing in an envelope, ready to give them to him the next time they meet.
made an appointment, took Ah Huan and Helen to take pictures, and brought Zhao San'er, Hongzhi, and A Qing with them.
The cost of taking pictures is not low, but Shen Mengxi still took pictures of Zhao San'er and them separately, and finally the six of them came to take a group photo, so happy that Aqing couldn't close his mouth for several days, and he couldn't help but salute when he saw Shen Mengxi.
A Qing is a local girl, seventeen years old this year, six brothers and sisters in the family, she is the second daughter, she came out to work at a very young age, her sister works in a cigarette factory, no black and white, the salary is not as much as she gets back, every time she comes home on vacation to see her sister, she is very content, and no longer complains that the Zhang family has too few servants, too much work, and the house is too big.
Zhao San'er likes Ah Qing, even rhubarb can be seen, but Ah Qing never talks to Zhao San'er much, and looks like avoiding suspicion, which is why Shen Mengxi did not let Zhao San'er move to the backyard of Zhangfu.
A-Qing looks average, but her voice is sweet and delicate, Zhao San'er always accosted her, just to hear her say a few more words. Although Aqing's family conditions are not good, she still dislikes Zhao San'er as a bun in the north and a poor rickshaw puller.
Zhao San'er understood that he was poor and white, and he was not worthy of Ah Qing, and he never made it clear, but silently helped Ah Qing buy vegetables and carry water.
Shen Mengxi saw it in his eyes and never intervened.
******
What Shen Mengxi didn't know was that with the printing of the photo, a rumor also came out.
Zhang Jiaxuan hurriedly came to the villa, pulled Shen Mengxi into the study, and asked in a low voice what was going on between her and Wang Shouqing, Shen Mengxi didn't know where he started, and replied that it was nothing.
"Nothing? The tabloid said that you and Wang Shouqing went on a vacation trip to Harbin together! ”
"Do you believe it in the tabloids? Those who are clear are self-purifying. ”
"See for yourself." Zhang Jiaxuan put the newspaper in front of her.
It was a group photo of the two, but their faces were a little blurred, and the background was Victoria Cafe on China Street.
This is a little-known street tabloid, and the title of the article does not explicitly state the names of the two, only saying "a trip that the ex-wife of the famous poet and the ex-husband of the talented woman have to say", Shen Mengxi smiled, "Brother, this is synthetic, you look at this signboard, the letters are repeated, and such a low-level means are also taken out." ”
Zhang Jiaguang looked at the photo again, "I don't know Russian. It's always true that the two of you go to Harbin together! ”
"Really. What do you mean? Shen Mengxi looked at him coldly.
"What do you mean? If you really like him, get along well, don't be sneaky! ”
Shen Mengxi slapped the table, "You just sneaked around!" Your whole family is sneaking around! After saying that, he also smiled.
Zhang Jiaxuan encouraged: "Shouqing is a person of noble character, clean and self-conscious, with a bright future and strong body. It's better than Xu Shizhe in every aspect! ”
"The newspapers say that wife swapping is so ugly, and besides, I don't like him."
"You don't like this, what are you looking for? You're dragging a child yourself! ”
"He is too infatuated with Lu Xiaomei, I don't dare to provoke such a person. In the future, I will suffer greatly. Shen Mengxi waved his hand again and again.
"How can a man of this age not have a love history? You're always so picky, so calm, you can't get married for the rest of your life! ”
"If you can't get married, you can't get married! Yes! Do you hate me? Well, you hate me! Don't bother with me anymore! Then I will have something to do with my second brother in the future! Shen Mengxi began to sprinkle.
"Good, good!" Zhang Jiaguang raised his hand in surrender, "I was wrong, am I wrong?" ”
"Humph! You're smart! Let's go back and write a 2,000-word review. ”
The brother and sister quarreled for a while, chatted for a while, and Zhang Jiaxuan saw that his sister really didn't care, so he left the newspaper and went home.
As soon as Zhang Jiaxuan left, Shen Mengxi immediately picked up the newspaper and read it carefully, the tabloid with eight openings was of poor quality, and he had a hand of ink after reading it.
The next day, she took the newspaper to the photo studio, and when Shen Shidi saw her, her eyes were hidden, and she hurriedly greeted her with a smile, "Miss Zhang is here, please sit inside!" He enthusiastically let her into his office.
As soon as he sat down, Shen Mengxi put the newspaper in front of him, "Let's talk about it." ”
Shen Shidi was so embarrassed that he didn't shirk and deny it, "I'm thinking about how to apologize to you." ”
"Your composite photo?" Shen Mengxi stared at him.
"No, no, no!"
"You sold my negatives?"
"No, no, no! The negatives are all for you! How could I possibly do such a thing that my photo studio should not do? I'm not stupid! As soon as I saw the newspaper yesterday, I knew that the problem was mine, so I thoroughly checked the photo studio at that time, and it turned out to be one of my employees, who was fired by me, and before leaving, he secretly took the negatives and washed the photos and sold them to the tabloids. Tomorrow, tomorrow I will publish an apology to you! and compensate you for your losses. Shen Shidi stood up and bowed and apologized.
"In the newspaper? People didn't name names, how can you apologize? ”
"I, I, I......" Shen Shidi twisted his hands together, he had a wide range of contacts, and because of this, he knew that this female professor still had a relationship with the leader of the Green Gang, and it was not something he could offend.
"Fame is irreparable." Shen Mengxi looked at the bustling Nanjing Road and muttered.
Shen Shidi's face changed, "Miss Zhang, it was indeed my negligence. It has not been easy for me to be in Shanghai for many years, starting from being penniless and penniless, and now I have endured countless hardships. I hope Miss Zhang can let me go this time, I remember you for a lifetime. ”
"Even if I don't pursue it, others may not let you go." Shen Mengxi picked up the newspaper on the table and left.
Shen Shidi grabbed her hair and sat down at the table in frustration.
That night, Shen Mengxi received a call from Wang Shouqing, he apologized to Shen Mengxi, and Shen Mengxi also apologized to him, saying that he was negligent when washing the print. The two of them didn't dwell too much on the matter, and hung up after saying a few words.
Shen Mengxi quickly forgot about this matter, she started translating "The Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes" two months ago, and there is already a Chinese version in China, and she plans to translate a vernacular version.
Lao Tian read the first part and was very satisfied, and recommended it to the editor-in-chief to apply for the column.
As a result, a week later, the tabloid newspaper published the news of "New Lovers Staying in Modern Martial", and also revealed that the lovers had returned from Europe on a cruise ship together, and they had already been secretly in love.
This time, Principal Zhang talked to her, and she frankly told her that she and General Wang had known each other through her brother for a long time, and there was no emotional entanglement. Principal Zhang regretted that he shouldn't have let her go to Kazakhstan alone and get into trouble.
Shen Mengxi's face was calm, "It's me who didn't think it through." I am open-minded, and I have never been wary of anyone slandering me with this, and I will pay more attention to it in the future. ”
Principal Zhang trusted her as a person, said that he would not believe the rumors, and told her to concentrate on teaching and not delay the students' homework.
Coming out of the principal's office and returning to the office, Sun Shengyi glanced at her face, but still spoke: "Mi Sizhang, are you okay?" ”
"Not so good. It's not a big deal, but it still affects my mood a little. Shen Mengxi looked at Sun Shengyi helplessly, "How far does a divorced woman have to keep from men in the world?" ”
"This guy is terrible for writing articles! You must find out and beat him all over the ground to find his teeth! ”
"What's the matter with finding out, after splashing dirty water, there are always traces, and there is no trace and there is a smell." Shen Mengxi muttered that she was a person who cherished feathers very much, and this time it was the urgent "return to her hometown" complex, which made her think thoughtlessly and caused trouble for herself and others.
"It's too difficult for women to live, from ancient times to the present, it is a history of blood and tears of women being oppressed, it's easy to go out without wrapping your feet, and there is a chain that ties our hearts." Sun Shengyi said indignantly.
"It's good to be an old woman, and society will be lenient with you." Shen Mengxi sneered.
"Hmph, I think the men in this world are actually afraid of women, otherwise why should they suppress women? In ancient times, women were not allowed to give private property, but they had to listen to their fathers, husbands, and sons, and women were not even allowed to have their own ideas! Women's physical strength is not as good as men's, but their brain power is not bad for men! You see, as soon as a man makes a mistake, he will blame the woman, the princes of the Beacon Fire Drama, Yang Guifei, Chen Yuanyuan, obviously he is unconscious! And even women have to bully women! You see, that evil mother-in-law has set rules for her daughter-in-law...... "Sun Shengyi said a lot.
Shen Mengxi said: "Yes, women are tougher than men, and they live longer than men, a few years ago, there were only women in this world, human beings are vegetatively reproduced, and men are just mutations that have existed in the past 10,000 years, and they are evolutionary mistakes." ”
"Really?" Sun Shengyi's eyes widened, and she was extremely surprised.
"Haha, what you believe is true. This world is like this, when there are natural enemies, they fight side by side; When there are no natural predators, they fight each other. Man is a creature that can never live in peace. ”
"Makes sense." Sun Shengyi nodded, and said mysteriously: "Hey, I see that person in the photo, he is quite handsome and chic, you can consider it!" ”
"Ahh Shen Mengxi knocked her on the head with a lesson plan.
"No! People care about you! ”
"Take care of yourself! I have a son, you are an old girl who doesn't marry herself, where do you have a big face to urge others! Shen Mengxi knocked her again.
