Chapter 11: I Want to Sign You!
Seeing that it was already twelve o'clock, Lin Feifei felt a little hungry, and she was ready to solve it nearby.
There are many restaurants around the city, and there are all kinds of food, but she has never been to eat once, and her only stop is a steamed bun shop.
"Come, Feifei, your steamed buns." The boss handed the bag in his hand to Lin Feifei.
Lin Feifei took it, thanked him politely, and was about to leave, but was stopped by the boss, then picked up a pocket and picked up two meat buns and handed them to her.
"No need, Uncle Zhao." Lin Feifei smiled a little embarrassedly.
"Take it." The boss lowered his voice and hurriedly stuffed the bun into Lin Feifei's hand, his eyes glancing in from time to time.
He is a short, fat middle-aged man, who looks very honest, not to mention how cute he looks.
Lin Feifei felt a little funny, every time she was like this, but it was difficult to refuse.
"Thank you, Uncle Zhao." After that, he stopped lingering and walked towards the riverside road in front.
……
"Eh, wife, you, you light." Zhao Zhengqiang covered his ears that were pinched, and his mouth was screaming.
"You're giving her buns again?"
"Hmm!" Zhao Zhengqiang nodded honestly.
"How many times has this been? Zhao Zhengqiang, I said you, are you in love with her, what's the matter, you dislike me? With that, his fingers increased a little harder.
"She's so thin, every time she comes, she buys steamed buns, and she wears them ordinary, she looks like she has difficulties at home, and it's nothing to give two buns."
"Yo, you're opening a charity hall, but why haven't I seen you send someone else?"
"Feifei is different, our Xiaowen's homework is still Feifei's help to provide some tutoring, she didn't ask us for tutoring fees, what's wrong with me giving her two buns?
I'm too little for two, if she hadn't insisted, I wouldn't have collected the steamed bread money. ”
"Yo, you're reasonable, aren't you?
Why are you talking so much, aren't you just looking at the beauty of other little girls and looking for opportunities to offer courteous conversations?
You men, I have already seen through it, just admit it generously, what kind of justice is it? The proprietress said sourly.
"You ......" the boss was speechless.
"How am I?" The hostess was domineering.
"Mom." A childish voice came from inside.
"What's wrong, Xiaowen?" The proprietress immediately changed her tone, let go of her hand and smiled very gently at her ten-year-old daughter.
Zhao Wenwen stood at the door with a tangled expression.
"What's wrong?" The proprietress walked over worriedly and asked anxiously.
"There's a question I can't do, can you teach me?"
"Okay!" The proprietress agreed, although she was not highly educated, but the questions of a ten-year-old elementary school student were not difficult for her at all.
"Do you know how to ask questions in English?" Zhao Wenwen said weakly.
The proprietress stopped talking for a while, nothing else was okay, she really didn't know anything about English when it came to English.
At that time, they didn't have an English class, and they didn't know any words, let alone do questions.
"It's okay, send a WeChat message to your sister Feifei at night, and let her teach you."
"Oh." Zhao Wenwen nodded in agreement, her eyes looked at her father, Zhao Zhengqiang gave her two thumbs up, the father and daughter smiled tacitly, and then went their own way.
……
Lin Feifei casually found a seat and sat down, starting her humble lunch.
A mouthful of steamed buns and a mouthful of water, really happy, Uncle Zhao's steamed buns are really delicious, with thin skin and thick meat, delicious soup, and endless aftertaste.
She felt a little full after the two buns, so she immediately put the steamed buns into the bag, but saw a brightly dressed man sitting on another seat five meters away from her, with his slender legs folded and his hands in his trouser pockets casually.
Although he wore sunglasses, his eyes were indeed in her direction.
Cheng Jie, it turned out to be him, when did he come? And why is it here?
She didn't know why, but apparently he was looking for her.
Lin Feifei got up and walked over slowly, naturally sitting next to him, trying to stay away from him as much as possible, so as not to be photographed.
She doesn't care, it wouldn't be good if she brought him any peachy news, after all, he was a big star in the limelight.
"Is there anything that my senior is looking for me?" Look straight ahead, as if you are admiring the scenery ahead.
Both of them sat upright, and if they hadn't heard their conversation, it would have looked like two strangers had no intention of sitting in the same chair.
However, they did not know each other very well, or did not know each other at all.
Although they are acting in the same play, there is no rivalry between them, and the only "friendship" is that he helped her out just now.
"You're short of money!"
Affirmative sentences.
Lin Feifei frowned slightly, her expression was a little displeased, although she dressed ordinarily, ate simply, and looked like a person with a poor family, but it was indeed too much to say that she was short of money.
They don't say more than 10 words, and they spend zero time alone.
So, how did he come to the conclusion that she was short of money? Are you still saying it so categorically?
There was only one explanation, and he was concerned about her.
"You investigate me?" The tone was slightly angry.
"You're mistaken, but I do care about you."
The implication was that he didn't investigate her behind his back, but only with his own keen observation.
When he joined this crew, he noticed her, although she was a small supporting role, she was very beautiful, gorgeously dressed, with exquisite makeup, the key was that her acting skills were good, so he couldn't help but look at her twice.
The carefree, innocent and lovely princess in the early stage, and the forbearance and pathos, weakness but tenacity of the concubine in the later stage, she interpreted them very well.
There are not many plays but they are brilliant, and she plays this character vividly, as if she is that character, noble and elegant but delicate and smart.
It's just that she has taken off her costume, and she seems to have changed into a different person, dressed plainly, and too plainly.
He always acts alone without companions, and is not close to anyone, but he is also easy to get along with and can speak.
As for eating in addition to boxed lunches, it is steamed buns, and it is rare to have two steamed buns today, which has been the case for a month.
He even thought she could live with just ten dollars a day.
Although she plays small roles, she also has more money than ordinary jobs, so she doesn't wear old clothes from a few years ago and eat steamed buns for a few yuan.
Girls under the age of 20 love beauty, to be precise, women love beauty, regardless of age.
But except for filming, she is all without makeup, although she looks good, but she will only be more beautiful with makeup.
Obviously, people who are reluctant to eat even a decent meal are even less likely to buy expensive cosmetics and beauty clothes.
It's not because of her personality, it's that she's really short of money, or she's saving money constantly.
"What do you mean?" Lin Feifei frowned, because Cheng Jie said that he paid attention to her, heh, a star-studded star would pay attention to her inconspicuous little role, she was really a little "flattered".
"I want to sign you."
"Sign me?" Lin Feifei was a little puzzled.
"Yes!"
"Why?"
"Because you are very suitable for being an artist, you have a good appearance, you are low-key, and the most important thing is that you are very talented in acting."
"You want me to join the Lin clan?"
"No, my contract with the Lin family expires next year, and I don't plan to renew it."
The implication is that he wants to go it alone.
"Next year?" Lin Feifei muttered.
"Yes, next year! I'm looking for an artist in advance, it's rare to meet such an excellent newcomer as you, I'm afraid that you will be signed by others first, so I can only start first. Cheng Jie quipped.
"No need."
Lin Feifei didn't have any extra thought to refuse directly, got up and bowed politely to him, "Thank you for looking up to me, and thank you for affirming me, if you have nothing else, I'll leave first." ”
The words were tactful, but Lin Feifei didn't linger any longer, turned around and left, and Cheng Jie's voice came again behind him without taking a few steps.
"If you need money urgently, I can help you."
Lin Feifei stopped, his fingers tightly grasping the strap of the satchel, his expression indifferent, "Help me?" How much can you give me before I create value for you? ”
Wait for him to terminate the contract, wait for him to open a studio, wait for him to give her resources, wait for her works to be put on the market......
Whether it will be popular or not is unknown, but this time period is at least two years.
Two years, she can wait, but her mother can't wait, there will be surgery next month, and there are various expenses after the operation.
For two years, she didn't know how much it would cost, but it was only more than before, because the attacks became more and more frequent.
Surgeries and medicines continued, and doctors said that lung cancer even caused some other conditions, big or small.
Everything needs money, a lot of money.
But she can't wait to transfer her mother to a more authoritative hospital, can't wait to give her the best treatment, can't wait to hope that her condition can be controlled as soon as possible, if the cancer spreads, it will really be powerless.
"How much do you need?" The tone is relaxed, and there is a posture of scattering money.
"Thank you, but I really don't need to." Turning around and thanking him, he said, stopped staying, and turned to leave.
How much do you need?
Lin Feifei smiled helplessly, she really wanted to say that what she needed was endless and without an upper limit, as long as her mother needed it, she could fill it all at any time.
Now, even if Cheng Jie can help her, he is willing to help her, but what if she fails to create the value he wants for him after two years? Isn't he bloody?
So how is she going to pay him back this money? Who will pay for my mother's medical expenses after that?
Cheng Jie?
No, she's thankful that he doesn't force her to pay back, how dare you expect him to continue to help her.
He is not a philanthropist, and he wants to sign her because he sees her potential and feels that she has the ability to create more value.
But there are too many uncertainties in it, and she doesn't dare and can't spend two years betting on a future that seems to have a bright future and unlimited prospects.
Looking at her leaving, Cheng Jie's lips were pursed, his brows were slightly furrowed, and he seemed a little worried and embarrassed, but there was endless exploration and playfulness in his eyes under the sunglasses.
So, did she reject him because she now had a better option?
Cheng Jie raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his tightly pursed mouth raised slightly, "Interesting!" ”
