Chapter 125: Facts speak louder than words
Although she finally got rid of Situ Jiluo's questioning, Wu Huiting still felt deeply embarrassed in the face of Qi Zirui's simple question. She... is not a person in this circle, and I don't know what the relationship between Situ Jiluo and this man is, if she says something wrong, will it hurt Situ Jiluo?
In fact, the reason why she was afraid that Situ Jiluo would ask was because she had been back to Singapore for half a year without telling him. Because of a friend's introduction, she began to contact the modeling industry, but she still kept a low profile and did not take on big cases, just for fear that Situ Jiluo would find out.
Ten years ago, she moved with her family after her adoptive father's company headquarters moved to Vancouver. At the beginning, she would come back to Singapore for a vacation every year during the summer vacation of the school to catch up with Situ Jiluo. However, because she went to university, she majored in two more departments, and her schoolwork became busy, so she didn't have time.
Unexpectedly, five years have passed.
Five years later, when she set foot on the Lion City again, the first thing she thought of was to find her only friend here, but she didn't dare, because... She ran away from home and fled to Singapore.
is too familiar with Situ Jiluo's personality, so if he knows that she ran away from home, he will be driven back by her no matter what happens, this is for sure.
She understands the hard work of her adoptive father and adoptive mother, but she really can't stand the days when she has to go on a blind date every weekend, so she wants to escape, and wants to stay away from that place to take a breath.
The adoptive father and adoptive mother did not have children of their own, so they adopted her that year. They treated her as their own daughter, pampered and cared for her in the palm of their hands, and made her the eldest lady of the Wu family. Wu Huiting saw these things in her eyes and took them to heart, she was very grateful to them, but she just couldn't obey the marriage.
This is also for what she will do her best to destroy every blind date, but her adoptive mother is like she will not be tired, and she has been looking for a new partner for her. Finally, she couldn't stand it anymore, so she left Vancouver without permission and came to her birthplace and her childhood memories - Singapore.
In the first two weeks after arriving in Singapore, she had a good life, but when her adoptive father suspended all her cards and froze all her bank accounts, she lost all her financial resources.
With little money left, she started looking for a job, and happened to meet a classmate who had studied together in Vancouver. I heard that making money as a model is fast and easy, and she quickly stepped into this industry because she met the conditions.
But recently, because she received a call from Qi Zirui, she found out that the friend had submitted her resume to STARDOM without telling her, and she stood out among thousands of contributors.
When she first saw the introduction of STARDOM on the Internet, Wu Huiting almost cheered, because it was a good opportunity to enter such a large company.
However, when she found out that the president of this company was Situ Jiluo, her mood suddenly fell to the bottom. If she enters STARDOM, she will be an artist under Situ Jiluo, so won't she meet each other?
Therefore, she came to STARDOM today to reject Qi Zirui in person. However, when he walked into the hall, he saw Situ Jiluo. Maybe there was some emotion in her heart shouting, so she couldn't control herself and subconsciously called him.
In fact, after shouting, she regretted it. It's just that a series of events that happened after that prevented her from remembering the real purpose of her coming here. But now, when her thoughts returned, she began to worry deeply.
Maybe others think that being able to enter STARDOM is a pie-in-the-sky thing for a little model like her, but she came here today and wanted to refuse.
Because, she was worried about meeting Situ Jiluo, and she didn't know what Lu Dao was going to say about herself. Now that Situ Jiluo has seen it, she has no idea what she wants to do next. When she came to her senses, her person was already in the general manager's office, and Qi Zirui was sitting at the other end of the sofa, staring at her.
"Mr. Qi, I..."
Originally, Wu Huiting's whole heart was hanging there because of the question Qi Zirui had just asked in the elevator, and she was about to respond to him, but she saw him hand over one document after another.
"Take a look, this is our STARDOM contract."
Qi Zirui saw Wu Huiting's difficulties, so he chose not to ask questions, but went straight to the point. I came to her today to talk about signing a contract. Standing out from thousands of people, as long as you sign a contract with STARDOM, all plans can be executed immediately.
"Mr. Qi, in fact, I'm here today to..."
Wu Huiting didn't stretch out her hand to take the contract, so she wanted to explain the purpose of coming in, but how did she know that the phone on the desk of Lu Dao rang unexpectedly. Qi Zirui said sorry, jumped up from the sofa, walked around to the desk, and picked up the phone.
"Hmm. Okay, I got it. ”
Wu Huiting didn't know who was calling, but listening to Qi Zirui's reply, she had a sense of foreboding. Sure enough, after Qi Zirui hung up the phone, she was informed that Situ Jiluo wanted to see her, and immediately after.
Qi Zirui knew Situ Jiluo's temper, so he soon took Wu Huiting to the top floor again. It's just that when Situ Jiluo asked him to quit Lu and said that he wanted to talk to Wu Huiting alone, he hesitated.
"I know what you're worried about, but she and I really aren't what you think."
Seeing Qi Zirui standing there and didn't seem to have any intention of leaving, Situ Jiluo immediately understood what he was thinking, so he said very calmly. Although he did not directly explain his relationship with Wu Huiting, such a sentence can reassure Qi Zirui. Seeing that Qi Zirui finally withdrew from Lu, Situ Jiluo couldn't help but exhale.
"Tingting, are you hiding something from me?"
After a moment of silence, Situ Jiluo finally raised his head and looked at Wu Huiting, and asked a little weakly. Just after Wu Huiting hurriedly went downstairs with Qi Zirui, the more Situ Jiluo thought about it, the more wrong it became. A sought-after newcomer? Thinking of this, he went to his desk and looked up the earlier document.
When the meeting was held a while ago, the planning department had the information submitted to him for the last three unsuccessful candidates, but he encountered Zi Ling fainting halfway, so he had to hand over the decision of the final candidate to Qi Zirui. Thinking of this, he didn't know what Lu Dao was, so he suddenly wanted to dig out the information of Wu Huiting's resume and come out to see.
Soon, he found this under a stack of documents, and the information of the two people in front of him was quickly turned over by him, and he directly found the one with "Wu Huiting" written on the back.
Seeing the words "rookie model" written on it and several work items on it, his eyes couldn't help but widen. It's not that there's anything wrong with these events, it's that you see the date of the event.
It turns out that she returned home a few months ago? Why did you hide it from him?
"That, I..."
Wu Huiting knew that she couldn't hide the matter, so she recruited it from the truth. Only when she saw Situ Jiluo follow what she said, her face changed from surprise to white, and then to helplessness, she breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that he wanted to hide and hide the things he had hidden, and he said it all, and it turned out to be so easy.
Knowing that Wu Huiting ran away from home, Situ Jiluo couldn't help but want to nag her, but when he heard her talk about the blind date later, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Lamenting the sorrow of the wealthy, that's it.
"Having been cut off from all financial resources, how have you spent the past few months? Where do you live now? ”
After all, they are all children who have been adopted by wealthy families, and Situ Jiluo can understand Wu Huiting's difficulties better than anyone else. It's just that she ran away from home so rashly, and she doesn't have any friends here, it's really hard for him to imagine how she, the eldest lady of the Wu family, has spent the past few months.
"Just take some modeling jobs and make a living. Now I share a small apartment with my friends, and it's okay... Tolerably. ”
Although the life is not as rich as when she was the eldest lady before, she still earns enough money to live by receiving those small notices. It's just that when it comes to where she lives, she is obviously a little hesitant.
It was an old apartment in a relatively remote area, with one bedroom and one living room. She is not the kind of eldest lady who can't afford to endure hardship, but the simplicity there just makes her unable not to dislike it. Even though she had been living there for months, she still couldn't get used to it. And it was also close to the dormitory for foreign workers, and every night when she came home, she was a little nervous.
"You move out, I'll ask the secretary to arrange accommodation for you, so you don't have to worry about that."
"But..."
To be able to move out of that small apartment, Wu Huiting is naturally willing. It's just that Situ Jiluo arranged it, and she was obviously a little hesitant. It's not that she's afraid of owing favors or anything, she's just afraid that it will cause him trouble.
"Don't be any more, if you sign me a contract, then it's my artist. It is also a newcomer that we plan to support, and it is natural to provide a place to live. ”
After so many years of friendship, how could Situ Jiluo not know what Wu Huiting was thinking? So he had found a reason for providing accommodation. It was supposed to be the right thing for the company to provide a residence for its artists, and with this excuse, he thought that Wu Huiting should have no way to refute it.
"Actually, I came to General Manager Qi today to push off the signing."
"Is it because STARDOM is related to my company?"
"Hmm."
Seeing that Situ Jiluo said so naturally, Wu Huiting was even more worried, but she still told him the purpose of her coming today. Hearing him ask if he wanted to refuse because it was his company, Wu Huiting seemed to nod her head without hesitation.
Although Situ Jiluo was a little unhappy because of Wu Huiting's words, it was because she knew that she was worried about causing him trouble, so she had some scruples, so he didn't have a seizure.
"Tingting, you should know very well that I didn't know that you were the newcomer who was selected before today, and I didn't participate in the screening. You have gone through round after round, fair and just selection to stand out, and you don't have to worry about what people will say. ”
Situ Jiluo raised his eyebrows, and then said to Wu Huiting very seriously. She was selected through a fair and just selection above board, not because of his relationship through the back door. So, as long as you remember this and put your mindset right, then you don't have to worry about what others say, because facts speak louder than words.
