Chapter XXIV
"This is just the first generation."
Zhou Erya's folding fan opened and closed, and the sound of "swish" and "swish" controlled the rhythm of the conversation.
He raised his slender index finger and shook it: "Honggu is the first victim. ”
"And then, there's the second generation."
Zhou Erya still looked at Qi Limei, her eyes were unfathomable: "Then Miss Qi, you may be able to say that you don't know about Honggu's death, but how do you explain Shangguan Qiu'er's death?" ”
Han Yu noticed that he hadn't called Qi Limei Mrs. He today, and he didn't take care of her thoughts and self-esteem at all, and it seemed that he didn't want to give her face—because she might be the perpetrator.
Sure enough, hearing Shangguan Qiu'er's death, Qi Limei got up and wanted to explain something, but maybe she was in a hurry, maybe she was uncomfortable, and she couldn't stand it for a long time recalling those dark pasts, in short, her face was as white as a dead person, and after she stood up suddenly, her eyes were dark, and she fell straight back.
Han Yu's eyes were quick, and he just looked at her with Zhou Erya's eyes, and when he saw that her expression was wrong, he quickly reached out to help her, and saw that she was rolling her eyes and breathing rapidly, as if she had fainted with low blood sugar.
"Sniff the salt."
Zhou Erya seemed to have been prepared, took out a salt sniffer from her pocket and threw it to Han Yu.
Han Yu comprehended, opened the bottle cap, leaned to the end of Qi Limei's nose, and gently fanned the wind with the palm of his hand.
Qi Limei frowned, sneezed, opened her eyes quietly, and slowly sat up straight, still trembling all over.
"It's useless to run away."
Zhou Erya shook the folding fan and said lightly, "Shangguan Qiu'er has the best relationship with you, and her suicide is the same as Honggu, and there are many suspicions." ”
Shangguan Qiu'er committed suicide nine years ago, when she was already old, and it happened that Qi Limei married into a powerful family, but the newspaper still reported the experience of this over-the-top dance queen in a row, and compared it with Qi Limei's spring breeze for a long time.
Qi Limei woke up leisurely under the stimulation of the smell of the salt shaker, and it was difficult to pretend to be dizzy, her face was bitter, but she kept gritting her teeth and not saying a word.
Shangguan Qiu'er is innocent, simple and cute, the most scheming of the three golden flowers, and is good friends with Leng Qiu'er and Qi Limei, and she acts and speaks straightforwardly and brightly - but even such a person can't survive this dark era after all.
The name change incident back then can also be seen - Leng Qiu'er was not called Leng Qiu'er, but because Shangguan Qiu'er became popular first, she also changed to Qiu'er through sisterhood, which obviously rubbed her fame, but Shangguan Qiu'er didn't mind at all, and often introduced the sisters in front of the guests, and Shuangqiu became a good story.
If it is replaced by someone else, even if it accidentally bumps into the name, I am afraid that the angry party will find a way to make the other party change the name, such as the newcomer Wang Ji Meiyun, who has been looking at the sky, if someone dares to call Meiyun, she will definitely turn her face on the spot and force people to change their name.
When Leng Qiu'er committed suicide, it coincided with Qi Limei's newlywed. This incident was taken out by the Shanghai press at that time and made a lot of articles, which also made Qi Limei very distressed, but fortunately, Qi Limei's married person was competent, so this matter was slowly suppressed.
didn't want to bring up Zhou Erya's old things again today, Qi Limei only felt that the blood all over her body was gushing up her throat, as if she was embedded in something, she couldn't say a word, and she didn't want to say anything about the past.
"Shangguan Qiu'er is optimistic and said that she would commit suicide, but I didn't believe it at the beginning." Boss Jin brought Qi Limei a cup of hot water, and sighed pretendly, "Could it be that she was really killed by someone?" ”
Han Yu glanced at him, with undisguised disgust on his face.
Paramount was hiding dirt and dirt, and so many people died, but Boss Jin always seemed to be unaware, this kind of contrived surprise, Han Yu would have been deceived by him at first, but at this time, he only felt that this person was really not responsible.
The Jin family founded and controlled Paramount for decades, and it would be a joke to say that they knew nothing about the struggle in it.
Han Yu also didn't like his attitude of conniving at Ji Meiyun, this kind of laissez-faire attitude towards the current cash cow was even more hateful.
"Shangguan Qiu'er was also married to Mr. Zuo of Ta Kung Pao at that time, Mr. Zuo was Gengjie, who attacked all kinds of warlords in the newspaper, and offended today's powerful figures, so that he had no place to stand on the beach in Shanghai, and he couldn't even find a job, he was poor and sick, and he only settled in the shantytown of Zhabei."
Zhou Erya gently stroked the fan and told the story of the year.
"Mr. Zuo...... I seem to have an impression. Han Yu was very embarrassed, although he ran around to investigate the people related to this matter, he did not investigate Shangguan Qiu'er's generation well.
He had no idea at all that darkness would begin to breed from there.
So his energy was focused on some of the people closest to Li Baozhu, where would he think of investigating the headless case more than ten years ago or even decades ago?
What's more, it is still the husband of Shangguan Qiu'er, who has nothing to do with the deceased Li Baozhu.
"Mr. Zuo was originally a talent of the previous dynasty, with a pen like a knife, daring to write and scold, laughing and scolding all into articles. At that time, he was famous and founded a newspaper, which shocked the small people. It's just that his outspoken temper has never changed, and he finally offended too many people and was harmed by others, and finally became poor and the newspaper industry went out of business, but Shangguan Qiu'er cherished his talent, respected him as a person, and didn't mind his old age and poverty at all. ”
Speaking of this, Zhou Erya still had a somewhat admiring tone.
And Han Yu was also in awe of this predecessor he had never met, and coupled with the changes that Yin Xiuxiu gave him, he felt that the industry in this world could not be examined with a single gaze.
"Shangguan Qiu'er even wanted to take out her own savings to re-establish the newspaper industry, but unfortunately she was once hindered by others, and a lot of money was spent in vain, but she was also poor and happy, and took care of Mr. Zuo's daily life.
At first, most people were not optimistic about this marriage, after all, Shangguan Qiu'er, as a well-known dance queen in Shanghai, married Mr. Zuo, a character with clean sleeves, whether it is age, living habits or experience, it is too far away.
It was only later Shangguan Qiu'er's performance that convinced everyone.
If it is said that at the beginning of her marriage, she found life unsustainable, and couldn't help but commit suicide, but it is still in the past. How can anyone who has been married for several years, although it cannot be said that it is bitter and sweet, but at least it is gradually getting used to it, and it is also well integrated with the leftist literati circle, but at this time there is a reason to commit suicide?
"She's long since quit Paramount, who else wants to harm her?"
When Han Yu thought about it, he really felt suspicious, but he couldn't figure out what connection Shangguan Qiu'er had with the Paramount case that day.
"That's for Miss Qi."
Zhou Erya's eyes fell on Qi Limei, Qi Limei heard the past of the year, as if she had fallen into unbearable memories, biting her lower lip tightly, and a row of fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
"She can harm Honggu's position, and of course she can sacrifice some insiders for her own happiness. Where did Shangguan Qiu'er think that she had no intention of harming others, but just because of her deep sisterhood, she was finally implicated and gave her life in vain. ”
Zhou Erya saw that Qi Limei still refused to speak, sighed softly, folded the fan, and made a "snap", and the startled Qi Limei almost didn't sit still.
"Honggu, you and Leng Qiu'er killed it." Zhou Erya showed no mercy, revealing the secrets of blood and tears word by word.
When Qi Limei heard this, she was shocked, and asked weakly: "...... you What evidence do you have......"
"Hear me out first." Zhou Erya continued unhurriedly.
Qi Limei, Leng Qiu'er and Shangguan Qiu'er entered Paramount almost at the same time, grew up together, and had an excellent relationship.
Qi Limei and Leng Qiu'er have always been ambitious, different from Shangguan Qiu'er, who is full of idealism and romantic thoughts.
It was the two of them who conspired to poison and design to frame Honggu, and finally pushed her off the roof, ending the days of this generation of legends calling for wind and rain in Paramount.
- Shangguan Qiu'er was not involved in this matter, but she was aware of it.
——The three of them went in and out together, slept together, Qi Limei and Leng Qiu'er wanted to hide from others, where could they hide from Shangguan Qiu'er, who was smart in Bingxue?
She is kind and upright, of course she will not be in the same league as Qi Limei Leng Qiu'er, and even once reprimanded and stopped her, but unfortunately it was a step too late.
"Shangguan Qiu'er must be very painful that she didn't stop it in time back then, let Honggu die in vain, and also leave a dirty stain on your life." Zhou Erya sighed, very sorry for Shangguan Qiu'er.
Later, Qi Limei and Leng Qiu'er begged her bitterly, begging her not to divulge the matter, Shangguan Qiu'er relented for a while, so she agreed, but she didn't expect to be killed for the future.
Later, Qi Limei Leng Qiu'er ascended to the position of the three golden flowers, which was very hot, of course, she also understood that even if Shangguan Qiu'er told the things of the year, it would not be a big deal, and the boss of Paramount may not know it, but as long as someone can help him make money, where does he care if it is Honggu or Jinhua? He no longer took it to heart, and the three of them gradually drifted apart, and Shangguan Qiu'er had already had the intention of retiring and leaving because of this knot. ”
Zhou Erya was not polite to Boss Jin, and pointed out that he was pretending to be confused, Boss Jin was quite embarrassed, but he didn't dare to argue with him, and coughed a few times to cover up.
Ji Meiyun looked at the weak-hearted Boss Jin, and a sneer appeared on her red lips.
Although she is only a teenage girl, she has experienced many storms and is bent on getting ahead, and she will do whatever it takes, but she sees this matter thoroughly.
That's why she cursed Li Baozhu without any scruples, and she was not afraid of being exposed to people at all.
She knows that as long as she is still popular and can make money, Boss Jin will tolerate everything she does.
After all, Li Baozhu represents the past, and she represents the future.
Paramount is like raising Gu, so that these young and beautiful dancers with different means can fight each other, and the ones who can stand out are the characters that the boss cares about, as for the others, they are just cannon fodder.
