Zhang Xiangyue's agency has a well-known senior sister named Du Xinxin, who has filmed several idol dramas one after another, and has risen rapidly in recent years, and is the popular queen of the company.

Zhang Xiangyue still remembers that Du Xinxin once warned herself to know some of the most basic "survival methods" in the workplace, which happened to be something she didn't have.

It just so happened that she played a small supporting role in this idol drama starring Du Xinxin, and everyone got together to participate in the finale banquet on this day. I have to say that Du Xinxin, as a popular artist, is indeed very methodical, knows how to observe words and feelings, and figure out the thoughts of leaders.

I saw Du Xinxin toasting director Zhang Ying vigorously, after three rounds of drinking, even in the dim KTV box, Zhang Xiangyue could see Director Zhang's hand rubbing Du Xinxin's chest under the reflection of the light, and after a while, she reached into her underwear and stroked her plump chest.

Then I didn't know what Du Xinxin said in Director Zhang's ear, but I saw him laughing, and the two of them flirted and twisted together.

It's not the first time Zhang Xiangyue has seen this kind of thing, but she still feels sick, she used to think that Du Xinxin's acting skills are very good, and she is beautiful, so she will become popular now.

Today, it seems that this is just Du Xinxin knows how to sell her hue in exchange for practical benefits.

Since Zhang Xiangyue inadvertently spied on Du Xinxin's "secret" that day, she was no longer willing to pay attention to her. Because she knows that such a woman is not worthy of her admiration, even if she is a film and television star, even if she is her senior sister.

But this "movie star" who made her look down on her from her heart, but her star journey became smoother and smoother, and she successfully won the Best Supporting Actress in the Hong Kong Film Awards.

At the award ceremony, Du Xinxin tearfully delivered an acceptance speech: "Thank you to the director 'Zhang Ying' who discovered my acting talent, thank you to those friends who really helped me, without your support I would not have received this honor!" I will shoot more and better works in return, please continue to support me, thank you! ”

Seeing Du Xinxin in an evening dress on TV, Zhang Xiangyue felt a swelling in her throat, and couldn't help but spit out all the milk she had just drunk in her stomach.

Looking at her such a gaffe, Qiao Minhong, who was cooking dinner, couldn't help frowning: "Isn't there a trash can over there, if you spit on the ground again, you can clean it up yourself later......"

"I just saw that a clown who only knew how to exchange benefits got cheap and behaved, and I was very unhappy!"

"Why do you spit out so much? Did you eat something unclean and hurt your stomach? ”

Qiao Minhong complained while cleaning up the vomited filth with a rag: "Which clown? Do I know this one you're talking about? ”

Zhang Xiangyue couldn't stop coughing, she couldn't speak, she pointed to the TV in front of her, Qiao Minhong saw Du Xinxin who was holding the trophy proudly, and said in surprise: "It turned out that Sister Du won the best supporting actress this year, it's amazing!" ”

Zhang Xiangyue snorted coldly: "She won today's honor by sleeping with the director, I really didn't think she would do this in the past, and I thought she was a pure jade girl as the media said!" ”

Qiao Minhong was quite disapproving: "Women, as long as they have youth and beauty, they can be exchanged for material, this is the survival legal system of society......"

Before Qiao Minhong could finish speaking, Zhang Xiangyue suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck, wrapped it tightly like an octopus, and showed a delicate smile: "Will you love me forever?" ”

Qiao Minhong was stunned, he didn't expect Zhang Xiangyue to suddenly ask such a simple and almost stupid question, but all women want to get a positive answer.

"Yes, always, when I have money, you don't need to be an actor anymore......"

"So what do I do?" Zhang Xiangyue blinked her beautiful eyes.

"As long as you are a qualified housewife, give me a lot of big fat boys, and I will raise you!"

Zhang Xiangyue smiled from ear to ear and rode on Qiao Minhong's body: "You are really greedy, I will give you up to 5!" The two men looked at each other and laughed.

At that time, although their lives were a little harder, the happiness from the bottom of their hearts encouraged them to live strongly. Zhang Xiangyue is also convinced that as long as she has this love, even if she can't become a first-line star, she has nothing to regret in this life!

It's just that the fate of people really makes people feel both sad and ridiculous, sometimes even how small a wish, God can't easily give it to him, but will always set up a lot of obstacles for you, so that you can carefully experience the bitterness of asking for it.

And at this moment, Qiao Minhong is suffering from this kind of fate.

"The company is actually going to lay off employees? No, I contributed my youth to the company, and I have worked for at least five years since I graduated from university. ”

Qiao Minhong grumbled indignantly in Manager Yang's office.

"How much is five years of seniority? The old employees who have worked for more than 20 years have been fired! This year is a global financial crisis, the economy is so sluggish, what can I do? ”

Qiao Minhong knew what this job meant to him, and once he lost his job, he wouldn't even be able to pay next month's rent.

So for him, work means hope for him to survive in Hong Kong.

"I have contributed a lot to the company! And my girlfriend has also spent more than ten years of her youth for the company, you can't just lay off employees......"

Manager Yang laughed very disdainfully: "Although your family Zhang Xiangyue was a household name ten years ago, her acting path was too narrow when she debuted as a child star, and she couldn't bring considerable benefits to the company at all." You two are no longer useful, you know what I mean? This is Hong Kong! All about the interests of Hong Kong! ”

In 08, the global economy was weak, and Hong Kong was also affected to a great extent. In addition, since the return of Hong Kong and Macao, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television has expressly banned and prohibited filming, so almost all of Hong Kong's film market has been robbed of the vast majority of the market share by big-budget Hollywood films.

Qiao Minhong knew that no matter how much he said, it was meaningless, it was a waste of words. He held back the grief in his heart and packed up his desk, and his colleagues in the unit pointed at him and whispered. Although Qiao Minhong couldn't hear what they were saying, he had already guessed most of them in his heart, and it should be either ridicule or sarcasm.

Qiao Minhong had a strong sense of self-esteem, and instantly felt that he had suffered a great insult, he pointed at the other party and shouted: "My embarrassment today is what you will do tomorrow." ”

Regardless of how fierce the colleagues behind him were, and he didn't want to see their ridiculous eyes again, Qiao Minhong only felt that his dream was shattered in an instant.

"I obviously promised to give Xiaoyue the best future, why was my career just improving, and I was swept away!"

Qiao Minhong, who returned home, didn't say a word, leaned on the sofa in the living room and watched the movie quietly.

Zhang Xiangyue looked at him and felt that he was a little strange today.

"What's going on? How do I feel like you're upset today? ”

Qiao Minhong was silent and replied with silence.

Zhang Xiangyue leaned over to the sofa and stroked his cheek, and asked softly, "What's wrong!" Why don't you say a word? ”

Qiao Minhong pushed Zhang Xiangyue away angrily, and didn't even look at her with eyelids: "Something happened today, I'm not in a good mood......

"What's the matter, tell me, I'll share some of it for you."

Qiao Minhong suddenly pushed her away with both hands and scolded, "Can you stay away from me." ”

Zhang Xiangyue touched her nose, since she and Qiao Minhong realized that this situation had not happened now, she didn't want to be bored anymore, lying alone on the bed in the bedroom and reading the script, and she didn't pay attention to him all night.

"Woo woo woo ......"

A burst of crying came, Zhang Xiangyue followed the sound and slowly walked to the living room, only to find that Qiao Minhong was crying in a low voice, it was the first time she saw Qiao Minhong crying bitterly. He cried like a child who had done something wrong because he was naughty, and he was afraid of the punishment of the adults.

He cried so sadly. Zhang Xiangyue gently handed the tissue to him, and Qiao Minhong realized the fact that Zhang Xiangyue had found out that he was crying.

Qiao Minhong sighed heavily: "I have just been laid off by the company, I'm afraid we won't be able to pay the rent next month." ”

They looked at each other and hugged each other.

After all, in this materialistic society, no work means nothing.

It's not once or twice that the landlord's wife has scolded her at the door of her house because of the rent problem, and the neighbors in the apartment have come out to watch the excitement.

Zhang Xiangyue really couldn't sit still, no matter how she apologized and begged the landlord to understand, it would be useless.

"You pay the rent at the latest at the beginning of next month, or move out! I'm not a benevolent church, so don't take advantage of me! ”

To pay the rent in the first quarter of next year, the young couple really can't come up with the money. They are all worried, there is not much savings in the bank card; Zhang Xiangyue hasn't received a role for a long time, even the most inconspicuous role.

She really wants to share some financial pressure for her newly unemployed boyfriend, but she is more than capable of doing so, and she can't get the role anymore, and it is estimated that the survival of the two of them will be a problem in the future.

How confident Qiao Minhong was in the past, but since losing his job, he has become more and more listless, drinking every day in addition to watching TV, and constantly cursing this cannibalistic society.

His clothes had been worn for a long time, and they had already emitted a strange smell, but he still refused to replace them; The beard has already crawled all over the face, but he still doesn't take the initiative to shave it all.

Zhang Xiangyue couldn't bear to see her beloved boyfriend so depressed, she naively thought that she could escape from the cage of the fourth aunt's family forever, but fate was not another bigger shackle for her?

"What the hell am I going to do?"

The agent, Dong Feng, happened to call at her most upset moment.
