Article 138
I invited him to a coffee house, the two of us sat facing each other, I looked at her, the makeup on her face had been removed, she looked quite delicate, and now he reminded me of the words beauty without makeup.
She was wearing a gray dress, which made her skin fairer, and after I had a brief chat with him, she took out a contract from her bag and handed it to me, and after reading all the words on the paper, I nodded and said to him, "This is my ID card, do you need to print one?" ”
The woman looked at the ID card in my hand and said, "Don't worry about it now, I'll tell you about the basic situation of our company now, so that you can understand what you need to do in the future."
I nodded, listening carefully to what the woman had to say.
Everything that followed developed logically, and from the moment I signed my name on the contract with a black water-based pen, I walked into this place called the entertainment industry.
This company is also very famous in the circle, the woman is my agent, I call her Ms. Chen, I am very glad that I did not meet a scammer.
Although this company is very famous, but I am always wary of anyone around me, Ms. Chen after learning that I graduated from the university, showed a fairly good-looking expression, the company for my current situation, drawn up a table, I read this form, know that this is the direction I need to develop.
I started as a small model, in an unfamiliar field, just getting started, it's always a little hard, but I'm not afraid, because my memory has been lost, so I treat this job as a game, the game has a beginning and there must be an end, since my father just wants me to experience life, then I will definitely have a day to let this game end.
I can still remember the words written on the contract, and I consider myself lucky because it wasn't a contract of servitude.
In this new field, I met a lot of people, including makeup artists, photographers, costume artists, agents, and of course, some of the top executives of the company.
Ms. Chen is a special existence in my heart, she taught me the rules of how to mix well in this industry, and she is now not only my agent, but also a first-tier star, as well as a second-tier actor's agent.
Ms. Chen asked me to take the job at the beginning to be a fashion model for a well-known magazine, she gave me a lot of encouragement, of course, before continuing this job, he also arranged for me to take a series of courses, I have to say, when I studied these courses, I felt very tired, because I was not one of those college students who graduated from film school, I was not good at how to be a good model and a good actor before I studied these courses, I felt that I was a layman, But Ms. Chen gave me a devilish training and study, and I really don't want to remember that feeling anymore, because I felt really hard, even though I was a big man.
After I took some photos for that magazine, the sales of that issue increased a lot, and gradually many fashion magazines contacted Ms. Chen and asked for my photos to appear in their magazines.
Although I knew that my figure and face were very good, I never expected that I would become popular so quickly.
On the day I signed the contract, I told Hua Lianqiao about it, Hua Lianqiao was not too surprised, he just stretched out his little hand, patted me on the shoulder and said, Come on, cousin, I am optimistic about you, give me a few more signatures after you become a star in the future, I want to keep your signature in the future, but it is very valuable.
I was a little upset when I heard that she wanted to sell my autograph. I deliberately put on a very angry expression and said to him: "Look at what kind of heart you have, you actually want to exchange my signature for money, I won't give it, what do you want to do with me?" ”
Hua Nianqiao grinned, it's not good, it's okay if you don't sign for me, I have a mobile phone and a camera, I can take photos of your daily life, and when the time comes, I will post those photos on the Internet to sell for money.
When I heard him say this, I was speechless for a moment, and I only stretched out the index finger of my right hand and scratched her little nose, sighing, you, even your own cousin want to be pitted?
Hua Nianqiao smiled lightly.
My father and mother have not appeared, of course, Hua Nianqiao's parents I have never seen, I became more and more curious about my other family, I finally couldn't suppress, on a day off, drove out of this villa, before leaving the villa, I have used a tablet to check some private detective agencies in the city, I chose the one with the highest praise rate, according to the address, I finally found this private detective agency, after I got out of the car, I looked up at the signboard of this private detective agency, The font of the signboard is golden: Jiujiang Private Detective Agency.
I walked in the door, asked the lady at the front desk, took the elevator to the second floor, I walked into an office, and saw a man with glasses sitting at the desk staring at the computer, I said to him, "Hello, I came here through the front desk lady on the first floor, are you Mr. Li?" After I finished asking, I glanced at the name tag on his desk: Li Jiujiang.
He took his eyes off the computer screen, nodded at me and said, I am Mr. Li, sir, may I have something about you that I need to investigate for you?
I also have some fame now, I will habitually wear a peaked cap, sunglasses, and a mask when I go out, I took off my sunglasses and mask, looked at Li Jiujiang and said, I want you to help me check some things.
Li Jiujiang nodded and motioned for me to continue.
I stared at his single eyelids with some unease, he pulled out a very kind smile and said, sir, please rest assured, our private detective agency will be absolutely confidential for customers, this will be clearly written in the contract, if our firm leaks your privacy, you can take the contract to sue us, of course, I can give you 100% assurance that our firm will not disclose your privacy, if you have anything to do with our firm for your investigation, Just tell me about it, of course, you can tell me first, what do you want us to check for you? Only if I know what you want to investigate, can I offer a reasonable price and then draw up a contract for you.
I nodded, and said to him that it was like this, I forgot some of the things before, five months ago, I woke up from my bed at home, I found that I didn't remember anything, of course, many common sense problems, I was still able to solve them by myself like an adult man, my IQ was not affected in any way, but I couldn't remember my past at all, I wanted to know how I grew up, what schools I went to, what friends I made? I'd love to know, um, in fact, what I want to know the most is my parents, I live with my cousin now, I've never seen his parents and my parents, and I don't have any other relatives in my phone computer.
I closed my mouth and looked at Li Jiujiang, Li Jiujiang pondered for a moment, and said: "Sir, I have learned a little about your situation, and it will take some time for you to make a contract that suits you, so let's do it, you come here tomorrow at 3 o'clock in the afternoon to sign the contract, and I will tell you again that we are my private detective agency, how will we investigate the things you need to know......"
After listening to what he said, I pulled my ID out of my wallet, and he quickly asked another female staff member to make a copy of my ID.
Li Jiujiang smiled and said to me, sir, you can go back first, you can come to my office at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and I will hand over the drawn contract to you for review.
I nodded, not wanting to sit down in this office anymore, I walked out of the office and took the elevator to the first floor.
When I walked out of the office, I had already put my mask and sunglasses back on.
The three front desk ladies didn't look up at me, and most people in the big cities were very indifferent, at least I thought.
I drove back to the villa, and the moment I stepped out of the car, I thought: with such a high rating of praise for that private detective agency, there's a good chance that many of the city's celebrities will be there to let the private investigators find out what they want to know.
I remembered what Hua Nianqiao said to me before, and of course I haven't forgotten the contents of the letter in the drawer.
I shook my head, forcing myself to throw the mess out of my head.
Since the praise rate is so high, those private detectives are certainly not eating for nothing, and they will definitely be able to find out what I want to know.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon the next day, I wore a mask, sunglasses, and a cap, and took the elevator to Li Jiujiang's office on the second floor.
The moment Li Jiujiang saw me take off my mask and sunglasses, he took out a contract from the drawer, pushed it in front of my eyes, and carefully put a black pen next to my right hand.
I ignored the black pen and carefully read every word of the contract before nodding to him and signing my name on it.
Li Jiujiang smiled and said to me the moment I signed my name: "Mr. Chu, the investigation time in this contract has been clearly written, if our private detective agency does not find anything useful within the investigation time, then our office will return the money to you according to the percentage proposed in the contract." ”
I nodded and pulled out my card.
He laughed and said to me, Mr. Chu, if you settle the bill with a bank card, it is not in my office, you can go to the front desk on the second floor to pay the money.
I nodded, picked up the contract and walked out of the office, and soon I found the front desk on the second floor.
The front desk on the second floor is located in the same location as the front desk on the first floor.
Finding the front desk on the second floor is not a difficult task.
After paying the money with the bank card, the big stone in my heart fell to the ground, I was a little relaxed, I made a lot of money through my work during this time, and I was finally able to understand why so many actors are eager to be famous, because being famous can make them feel the taste of making a lot of money, an actor or model, if he is famous, then it means that he can make more money.
Advertisements, magazines, and TV dramas will come to your door.
Ms. Chen made a lot of plans for me and asked me to follow the company's decisions.
Naturally, I have no objection, although I am now somewhat famous, but in the end, I am also a model working for the company, and I am not an actor yet, although Ms. Chen assured me that it will not be long before I can star in the first TV series in my life, and I am also the leading actor.
This place in the entertainment industry is very dark, just like the inky black lake, and the taste that people experience when they jump from the lake and fall into the lake cannot be described in words.
I've tasted dirty, evil, disgusting, I don't know what my parents are called, I don't know what they look like, I don't know what they do, I can't be sure if I have a family like ordinary people.
I can only tell from the things in the villa that my family conditions are certainly not bad.
That day finally came, I walked into the crew, and I learned that it is not a simple thing to make a good TV series, the entertainment industry is a place of right and wrong, people are intriguing, and I feel very tired of living.
Ms. Chen always reminds me what kind of character is it? I was not allowed to collapse the persona, I had to put on a false face and fiddle with the ridiculous persona in front of those people, and I felt as if I had become a clown.
When people are famous, although they can be exchanged for a lot of money, as soon as they become famous, they represent your privacy and are also watched by many people.
People are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong.
I'm now standing in the position of the male lead, memorizing lines every day, and controlling my expression when facing the camera, this is a TV series about love, I need to kiss and hug a woman, and make some very intimate movements, my heart is disgusted.
I hate doing these things in front of the camera, and I'm starting to miss those days when I was modeling.
At that time, although I was also very tired, I didn't need to kiss, hug, and touch a woman according to the director's request.
When I was filming this TV series, I felt that there was darkness in front of my eyes, and I couldn't see anything, Ms. Chen's face, the director's face, the writer's face, the heroine's face, and the faces of the group performers, as if they had all lost their facial features, and each of them stood in front of me with a white face and played their role.
The entertainment industry is a place where it is easy to lose oneself, in front of the camera, in front of those people, I have to wear a mask, how I wish I could go back to the days when I just woke up from bed, because I could chat with Hua Nianqiao.
He was a good listener, and whenever I saw her beautiful eyes, I couldn't help but tell her what was on my mind, even though I knew he wouldn't tell me everything he was thinking.
Maybe this is the so-called family affection, we have some of the same blood flowing in our two bodies, which makes me and Hua Nianqiao even closer, and we have become much closer, just like a pair of ordinary brothers and sisters.
The 11 holiday is coming, the 11 Golden Week allows Hua Nianqiao to get a short time to relax, she returned to the villa, I am getting busier and busier during this time, but I still take a short time to contact and chat with her every day.
Every once in a while, the staff of the Jiujiang Private Detective Agency would call me and tell me about the progress of their investigation.
After answering the phone call from their office several times, I have to say that I am really a little disappointed, maybe it is really as Hua Nianqiao said, even if I ask a private detective to investigate for me, everything I want to know will be useless.
Until one day, Li Jiujiang personally called me, he said to me: "Mr. Chu is very sorry, I want to tell you that your ID card is fake, whether it is the date of birth, or the address, it is all forged, Mr. Chu, please rest assured, I have signed a contract with you before, then I will not reveal your ID card is fake, of course, you also know, because your ID card is fake, so young, the word on the contract is invalid, I solemnly say sorry to you, During this time, our firm has tried its best, but there is really no way to find out what you want to know, your cousin Hua Nianqiao, we have also investigated from his side, but it is a pity, we have no way to find out what you want to know from his direction, you see, because your ID card is fake, we can't find out what you want to know from your cousin's direction, then we will return part of the money to your account according to the percentage mentioned in the contract, do you think this is okay? ”
I stretched out my right hand, covered my head, sat on the sofa, sighed, and said to Li Jiujiang in the phone, okay, you can return the money.
Li Jiujiang's voice came from there again, and he said that Mr. Chu's contract said very clearly, our firm needs to charge, of course, according to the amount on the contract, I promise to send the money to your account on time, I'm sorry I didn't find out what you want to know......
I squinted my eyes, looked at the ceiling and said, it's okay.
Then I hung up.
This TV series is finally finished, I have been liberated, during this time, I am both happy and painful, happy things, I slowly turned red, the pain is that I have less and less privacy, many paparazzi and fans will not let go of my private life, I had to leave the villa, there is a lot of money in my account, I chose a relatively remote place to buy a new villa, although it is remote, but it is very safe, although it is remote, but there will still be residents next to it, These residents are celebrities, celebrities, or wealthy people in the city.
After the TV series was broadcast, the ratings were very impressive, Ms. Chen was very happy, she went to a private club with me and the crew to celebrate this great success, he was drunk, and said to me drunkly: "Xiao Chu, you have worked hard during this time, have a good drink to celebrate, it was a very good thing for me to meet you in the bar, hahahaha, you see what I said, I bit my tongue just now, in short, I wish you more and more popularity, cheers!" "She held a glass of pale pink wine and touched the glass with me, then poured the wine in the glass, and I took a sip of Sprite in my stomach, this is my habit, I am not used to drinking in front of outsiders, because I have not forgotten, I am an actor, and I am also an actor who is slowly turning red, I can't let my ugly side be exposed in front of the camera.
A scandal can ruin an actor who has just become popular.
I always thought that I was just an actor, not a big star as Ms. Chen said.
Because I always remember what Hua Nianqiao told me.
My father let me get a job just to experience life, and I don't know what he really wanted me to do when I regain my memory.
All I can do now is wait, and I have to maintain a good schedule when I am a qualified actor, because I know that only with good living habits can I be able to adjust my body well, and I can face everything I need to bear after recovering my memory.
Men's shoulders are wide because they need to take on everything that women can't.
I don't know what I carried before I lost my memory, what I experienced, I worked hard to live every day, the entertainment industry is a very dark place for me, but I know that where there is darkness, there is light, I did it very hard, clean myself, and I will go back to the villa every day to rest.
I finally became as popular as Ms. Chen expected, I became popular, but I feel that I am getting more and more tired, because the company has long asked me to play such a role, every actor has his own personality, and I am no exception, maybe I can really be called a little star.
Before going to bed at night, I always have an illusion, I seem to be dragged into the dark abyss by countless hands, in the dark abyss, I struggle to stand up, but there is no way, no one, no one reaches out to pull me, help me, this kind of thinking I have never told Hua Nianqiao that Hua Nianqiao is just my cousin, she is still a high school student, I don't need to know these things I think now, he is my relative, I am his cousin, I can meet her cousin materially.
Hua Nianqiao is my relative and my friend, and I like to call her Xiaohua because she is very petite.
Time passed slowly, she didn't grow much taller, and the top of her head didn't reach my chest yet.
He had told me that he wanted to take a picture of me with his phone and post it on the Internet, but I knew he wouldn't do anything stupid like that, because I believed him and thought he was a good girl.
I'm popular, in addition to filming TV series, I also have to participate in variety shows, and reality shows, I have to act in front of the camera for the sake of that damn character, and many times I can't tell whether I'm acting or not.
When people stay in a mask for a long time, it is very likely that they will not be able to take it off in the end, and the moment I walked into the villa, I got a short period of relaxation, because I can become much more cheerful in front of Hua Nianqiao, maybe because I miss that Qiao is younger than me, when I talk to him, I always feel that my age has become much younger.
It's actually a very happy thing to talk to your little people, because Hua Nianqiao always tells me about the interesting things that happened to her at school.
I don't remember what happened when I was in high school, but I learned from the mouth of Hua Lian Qiao, as if I also integrated into their school to experience the life of an ordinary high school student, in fact, I envy the flower chain, because I miss Joe, and now he is still in high school, he is a student, and he doesn't need to face society like me, facing work, I have hoped that I can be like Hua Nianqiao several times, just an ordinary high school student, studying for exams on campus, studying for exams, having holidays, friends, classmates, and dreams.
But I knew it was impossible, and of course I didn't mention these things to Hua Nianqiao at all.
Hua Nianqiao is now in his third year of high school, and after such a period of time in a blink of an eye, I can't react a little, I am actually so popular.
The money went into my account one after another, and I would buy a gift for Hua Nianqiao every holiday, because I didn't know who I could give these gifts to except for Hua Mianqiao, in fact, I thought about buying some gifts for Ms. Chen, but after thinking about it, I still didn't give her the gift in my hand.
I don't know why, although I don't hate Ms. Chen, but I don't like him either, I like flower chains, of course, this kind of love is not the love between men and women, but the love between relatives.
One day, on a day off, I was sitting on the sofa in the lobby on the first floor watching TV, Hua Nianqiao was sitting on my right hand, and there was a cartoon in the TV, I thought it was very strange, Hua Nianqiao is now a senior in high school, why does he still watch SpongeBob SquarePants like an elementary school student?
I couldn't help but ask her, Xiaohua, you are so old, why do you still look at SpongeBob SquarePants like a child?
Huamian Bridge didn't look at me, he thought about it and said, I'm not an adult yet, I have the right to watch SpongeBob SquarePants, and even if I'm an adult, I can watch SpongeBob SquarePants, because when I look at SpongeBob SquarePants, I feel like I'm back when I was a child, that feeling is happy, relaxing, you forget the previous one, you can't experience the feeling I have now, being a high school junior is very painful, I have to learn to write test papers and write questions every day, my head is about to explode, I think SpongeBob just wants to relax.
When I heard him say this, I thought he was quite pitiful, so I didn't say anything more.
Every once in a while, Hua Nianqiao can use a mobile phone and call the housekeeping aunt to clean up at home, of course, when the housekeeping aunt comes to the house, we are usually not at home, Hua Nianqiao knows that I don't like to see those housekeeping aunts, there are cameras installed in many corners of the villa, Hua Nianqiao and I are not worried about the things in the villa at all, because even if they are gone, we can also find the real thief through the camera.
At this time, the doorbell rang at the gate on the first floor.
Hua Nianqiao said to me when he didn't move, cousin, I like the decoration style of this villa very much, didn't you tell me that you wanted to move before? Then I want a home that looks exactly like this.
After thinking about it for a while, I tried my best to find a new home that was similar to the old home, and I spent some time asking someone to make the home very similar to the old home.
Hua Nianqiao is a simple and complex girl, her personality is very mutated, sometimes like a child, sometimes like an adult.
The words she sometimes utters make me think about them for a long time.
Sometimes I have the illusion that Hua Nianqiao is not my cousin, but my cousin, because his mental age seems to be much older than mine.
Hua Nianqiao glanced at me and said, cousin, I'll go open the door, you wait here.
I nodded and got up from the couch.
She ran to the gate and looked at the people outside the gate through the cat's eye, and he said to me, cousin, the day you are looking forward to is coming, you have to be mentally prepared, I glanced at my feet strangely, and walked in the direction of the gate on the first floor a little uncontrollably, Hua Nianqiao smiled at me and opened the door on the first floor.
The moment the door opened, I saw a man, it made me feel inexplicably familiar, my head began to hurt, and it hurt more and more, my heart began to be uneasy, because this man's eyes looked exactly like mine, and his eyes were light blue.
I went to talk to Hua Nianqiao because of the color of my eyes before, and I said to him: "Xiaohua, am I a mixed-race child, because my eyes are light blue, most of the people in our country are black-haired and black-eyed, but what about me, my hair is black, but my eyes are not black, I don't believe that pure-blooded Chinese people will grow a pair of light blue eyes, my father or mother, is one of them a foreigner?" ”
Xiaohua thought about it and said to me, cousin, if you really want to know, don't ask me, you have to wait, when your lost memories come back to your head, then you will know if you are a mixed race.
He gave me an unfathomable smile, and at that moment, I felt a little creepy.
The man was dressed in a black suit, and he was about the same height as me, but his face looked much more mature than mine.
He exudes a kind of charm that only mature men have, of course, it is not that I am not mature enough, but I see the vicissitudes of life and calmness and calmness from him.
The man was stronger than me, his features were very deep, his hair was black like mine, and his skin was a healthy wheat color.
My skin isn't fair now, and I think this man is probably my relative, but I'm not sure he's my father.
The man pulled out a smile and said to Hua Nianqiao, Xiaohua, long time no see.
Hua Nianqiao laughed and said to the man, Uncle, I haven't seen you for a long time, it's great that you can come.
The man laughed and said, "I think it's not long before time passes."
The man looked at me and said, Achu, let's find a place to sit down first, I'll talk to you first, I had to nod.
The three of us sat down on the sofa on the first floor, which was very wide, and after the three of us sat down, it still made me feel a little empty.
The man looked at me and said, I saw the TV series you filmed from the TV and mobile phone, as well as variety shows, my son is finally famous, of course, what kind of job you choose, I will not interfere with you, these are your freedoms, you just need to know that your job will not last long, because the moment you regain your memory, you will remember everything in the past, you are my only son, and you will inherit everything from me.
The man's hair was much longer than mine, and his hair had grown to the shoulders.
He made me feel like a family, but I didn't say anything, just looked at him fixedly, waiting for him to continue.
The man laughed, his eyes shining with a dazzling light, the pretty light blue becoming more and more dazzling, but strangely enough, my eyes looked into hers and did not sting at all.
The moment I saw it, I started to have a headache, my face must not have been good, but the moment his eyes lit up, a miracle happened, my head stopped hurting, and I felt as if my body had floated to the clouds.
But this feeling of relief did not last long, because my whole body began to hurt, this pain was not an ordinary pain, it was like 10,000 needles piercing my body at the same time, my scalp, face, body, eyeballs, tongue, as long as my body felt it, that tingling sensation after burst.
I couldn't help but want to scream, but Hua Nianqiao, who was sitting on the side, stretched out his hand and covered my slightly open mouth, and the man's eyes were still looking at mine, and his eyes were getting brighter and brighter, turning from dazzling blue to dazzling silver.
My eyes went dark, and then I was in the dark.
I remembered everything, I remembered everything, and the reason why I had amnesia, before I had amnesia, my father was like that, looking at me with those eyes that were exactly the same as me, and then his eyes were getting brighter and brighter, and then, and then I woke up from the big bed and I went through all of that.
It was my father who made me amnesia, and I still can't figure out why he made me amnesia.
I don't know how long it took, but I slowly opened my eyelids, and I saw the familiar ceiling, and there was no light on in the room, so I had the illusion of going back in time, and that's how I woke up in a dark room that night.
I began to get scared, scared of myself, and forget about those things like I did that night, and forget all that I had before.
But no, I didn't forget anything, I remembered everything I had grown up with, everything I desperately wanted to know, and I almost cried the moment those memories could be sounded by me, because they were all things that I desperately wanted to know during that frustrated time.
I know, I know, I really told my father that I can't be a good actor and then be that ridiculous star.
During this period of amnesia, I had happy times and painful times, because I had to act in front of those people, but when I remembered all this, I felt pathetic, because when I didn't have amnesia, I also needed to act in front of some people, how ridiculous I was, even though I made a lot of money now, I still couldn't fill the void in my heart.
I remembered so many things, I remembered my loved ones, I remembered my father, I remembered my friends, I remembered the days when I had lost my memory.
I slowly sat up from the bed, put on my slippers, and walked out, now I don't know what time it is, but I didn't take out my phone to check the time, there was a square clock on the wall, but I didn't look at him, I walked to the first floor, after walking to the first floor, I saw my father and Hua Nianqiao, sitting on the sofa they watched TV, I glanced at the TV, they were actually watching SpongeBob SquarePants, I can't imagine that my father would actually watch SpongeBob SquarePants with Hua Nianqiao.
He has always been a respectable presence in my heart, and he has made me fear and worship.
I sat down next to my father without saying a word, and he turned his head to look at me and said, "Are you awake?" I got you to it before, I think your body needs to take a break, don't you want to ask me why you have amnesia for so long, and I haven't looked for you once during this time, don't worry, I'll tell you everything, it's just not now, Achu, you have to believe me, I am your father, I won't harm you. ”
I had no choice but to nod, and I suddenly found that no matter how cheerful and talkative I was in front of the flower chain, I still became less and less talkative in front of those people, and my words became less, but my status in the entertainment industry was slowly rising, and I was becoming more and more popular, but I was still lost.
Recovering my memory, I felt as if I had found a piece of driftwood in the middle of the ocean.
I watched an episode of SpongeBob SquarePants with the two of them in silence.
My father patted me on the shoulder and told me to go back to my room to rest, I glanced at the clock on the first floor, it was already half past ten, I didn't say anything more, I went up to the second floor and locked myself up.
My father, the palace master of the Silver Wolf Palace, I am the young master of the Silver Wolf Palace, I don't know who my mother is, I asked my father when I was a child, but my father never told me my mother's name.
When I was in school, I really wanted to have an ordinary family like other classmates, I didn't want to be the young master of the Silver Wolf Palace, I just wanted to have a warm and beautiful home.
I know very well that all of this is an extravagant hope.
People have no way to choose their parents, and my grades in school have always been very poor, and even the university I went to was only brought in by my father who found someone to trust me.
I don't know exactly how much he spent to send me to such a university.
