Chapter 1 Termination and return to the village
"Why did you stop my announcements? I need a reasonable explanation! ”
Cheng Xiao stood in front of Nuoda's desk, her green white hand slapped on the table, making a "bang" sound.
His dark eyes stared at the man in front of him and asked in a cold voice.
The man's name is Ning Tao, 32 years old, and he is the artist director of the veteran entertainment company Huading.
is also the person who single-handedly excavated Cheng Xiao and praised Cheng Xiao.
At this time, he listened to Cheng Xiao's words, quickly wiped the gold-rimmed glasses in his hand, and put them back on.
Raised his head and smiled: "Xiaoxiao, sit down, if you have something to say, speak slowly." ”
With that, Ning Tao got up, came to the coffee machine, took a cup of freshly ground coffee, and added two sugar cubes.
After handing it to Cheng Xiao, he naturally sat down beside Cheng Xiao.
said with a sassuring tone: "Xiaoxiao, it's like this......"
"Recently, there have been some bad remarks on the Internet, which are very bad for you."
"What does the company mean...... It's to give you a break first. ”
"Wait for this gust of wind to pass, and then let you come out to work."
"What do you think?"
"Rest?" Cheng Xiao lowered his eyes and looked at the coffee in his hand, and a sneer flashed in his eyes.
"Director Ningda, let's not talk darkly, is the company ready to hide me?"
Cheng Xiao is not stupid, she has been in the entertainment industry for three years, and she is clear about the twists and turns in it.
A female star like her, who is on the rise in her career, is most afraid of disappearing from the public eye.
Once you rest, it won't be long before you will be replaced by newcomers and forgotten by netizens, this is the reality!
Now that Ning Tao is doing this, he clearly wants to destroy her.
Thinking like this, Cheng Xiao's eyes became darker and darker when he looked at Ning Tao.
"Xiaoxiao, how can you think that!"
Ning Tao twisted his eyebrows, shook his head helplessly, and said softly: "You really misunderstood!" ”
"You are developing so well now, you are the company's cash cow, how can the company be willing to hide you, isn't this a self-cutting arm."
"This kind of loss-making business, we Huading can't do it."
Ning Tao stretched out his hand and patted Cheng Xiao's shoulder comfortingly.
The voice turned, "But...... During this time, you do have a lot of black material, and a slight mistake will ruin the popularity of passers-by and affect your career. ”
"The company also decided to let you rest for your sake."
"This ...... You also need to understand the company more! ”
Ning Tao spoke earnestly, and the expression on Cheng Xiao's face became colder and colder.
Raised an eyebrow and said sarcastically: "Understand the company? I really can't understand this! ”
"It's been a week since a large number of marketing accounts hacked me."
"What about the company's crisis PR?"
"Can there be a clarification announcement?"
"Can you send a lawyer's letter?"
"So inaction......"
"I don't know when Huading became a charity, and it was willing to raise a group of people to eat idle food!"
That's a really bad thing to say.
Ning Tao's face sank as he listened, and he opened his mouth, about to explain.
But Cheng Xiao suddenly asked: "Am I offending anyone, or am I in someone's way?" Whose eyes are in the way? ”
This is the only reason that Cheng Xiao can come up with for the company to give up on her.
"This ......" Hearing this, Ning Tao was stunned, looked at Cheng Xiao, and sighed heavily.
can mix in this entertainment industry, there are really no fools!
The company has done this so obviously, it is not surprising that Cheng Xiao can guess it.
So far, he can only say, "I don't know what's going on, I only know that this is an order from the chairman himself, and I have fought for you, but people are soft-spoken...... Powerless! ”
Ning Tao spread his hands and persuaded: "During this time, you should first obey the company's arrangement and take a good rest." ”
"I'll go up there in a while, maybe ...... There will be a turnaround. ”
"No need!" Cheng Xiao stood up and said expressionlessly, "Cancel the contract!" ”
Termination?
Ning Tao was shocked.
He guessed that Cheng Xiao would be dissatisfied and make trouble. Unexpectedly, Cheng Xiao would propose to terminate the contract with Huading so decisively.
Anxiously persuaded: "Xiaoxiao, you have thought about it, you can't be impulsive in this matter!" ”
"You still have five years left in your contract with Huading, and if you propose to terminate the contract at this time, you will be burdened with huge compensation."
"You ......"
…………
Half a year later.
H City, Qingyang County, Hongxing Village.
Fish pond side.
Cheng Xiao wore a sunhat and sun-protective clothing, and sat on a folding stool.
While staring at the water, he answered the phone.
"Boss, Director Peng's "The Legend of the Green Fox" is ready to start filming, and now he is auditioning for the heroine."
"This is a great opportunity for you to return to the entertainment industry."
"Once you are selected by Director Peng, with your appearance and acting skills, you will definitely be able to make a beautiful comeback."
On the phone was the girl's clear and excited voice.
"Oh~ Director Peng's drama! That's nice! ”
Cheng Xiao's voice was faint, and her slightly scattered delicate face was reflected on the surface of the water.
She sat there quietly, dressed plainly, without powder.
It should be in harmony with the idyllic landscape, just right, and it is as beautiful as a painting.
At first glance, it only feels peaceful and peaceful.
"Yes, Director Peng's reputation has always been very good!"
"As far as I know, there are many first-line actresses in the industry staring at this drama, and they are scrambling to find a relationship and go the way."
"But don't worry, boss, you have cooperated with Director Peng."
"If you are interested, Director Peng will definitely consider you first."
The girl was in high spirits and full of confidence in Cheng Xiao.
"No need!"
Cheng Xiao said the words of refusal, and his hands were not idle.
The fishing rod was picked up, and a large carp of about three catties jumped out of the water along the fishing line.
"Just enough for one meal!"
"What?"
The girl on the other side of the phone didn't know why, so she subconsciously asked.
"Nothing." Cheng Xiao shook her head silently, "I want to say that I won't audition for Director Peng's play." ”
"Why?"
The girl didn't understand, and she was faintly lost.
"Boss, do you really plan to never return to the entertainment industry?"
"Yes."
“……”
The girl was silent for several minutes, not knowing what she was talking about.
After a few moments, the phone hung up.
Cheng Xiao took off the fish and put it in the red plastic bucket beside her.
At this time, there were seven or eight palm-sized small fish in the barrel.
A rough estimate is that there can be five or six catties.
"What a good harvest today!"
The villagers on the side looked at Cheng Xiao's fish bucket with envy.
For this small fish pond, fishing five or six catties in the morning is considered a bumper harvest.
"It's fine."
Cheng Xiao nodded and put away the fishing rod.
"Stop fishing?" The villager asked.
"No more fishing!"
Cheng Xiao took out her mobile phone and swept fifteen yuan for the villagers who contracted the fish pond.
Then he waved his hand at the young man reading in the shade of a tree in the distance, "Xiaoyun, go home!" ”
Xiao Yun, whose full name is Cheng Yun, is Cheng Xiao's younger brother, who is seventeen years old this year and is in his second year of high school.
He was a tall, thin boy.
He has short hair and wears a white shirt with a slightly open neckline and cuffs rolled up to the middle of his arms, revealing his pale skin, which is slightly thin.
He was handsome, slightly cold, and taciturn.
After listening to Cheng Xiao's words, he put away the book and nodded towards this side, "Okay!" ”
Cheng Yun came to Cheng Xiao's side, took the initiative to pick up the fish bucket, clamped the fishing gear, and the two sisters and brothers walked back together.
As soon as I arrived at the door, the loudspeaker in the village sounded in my ears.
"Attention all villagers!"
"Attention all villagers!"
"When you hear the announcement, please go to the village committee immediately!"
"Go to the village committee immediately ......"
