91. Ding Xue's bitter water
Ding Xue was startled, made a surrender gesture, raised her hands, and let Sonia hug and hug her.
When Sonya was enough of intimacy, she took Ding Xue's hand and kept talking.
Ding Xue may have been accustomed to being sought after, and has always maintained an elegant smile, listening to this exotic little sister say flattering words in broken Chinese.
At this time, I saw two middle-aged black men, a man and a woman, walking in the distance, the man in a suit and leather shoes, with a majestic atmosphere, dark clothes with a bright red tie, and the woman with a little rich, with a small curly black hair pulled into a tuck, a white silk shawl on her shoulders, and a long lilac dress, walking towards us.
Sonya: "Daddy Mommy." He stood up.
Ding Xue and I also stood up, and Sonya: "My mom and dad." ”
I hurriedly said, "Hello sir, madam! ”
Sonya's father stretched out his hand: "Hello! Friend! ”
Sonya: "This is my new friend Asahi who is my idol, Miss Ding Xueding. ”
Sonia's mother looked at Ding Xue, suddenly her face lit up, and she said excitedly: "Nini and I are chasing your drama, it's really you, I'm really lucky!" ”
Foreigners express their feelings more directly than we exaggerate, what they say, they don't know what to say, not at all implicit.
What's even more exaggerated is that Sonia's mother asked Sonia to go to the front desk to ask for an ink pen, and she had to ask Ding Xue to sign her white shawl.
Sonya's father has been standing politely beside him, watching the two of them chasing stars.
Ding Xue always kept smiling, and waved goodbye to them after signing.
Sonia didn't forget to hold up her phone at me and make a phone call.
Ding Xue: "I feel that you are the star, you see that the little beauty is fascinated, and the soul is taken away by you." ”
I smiled and said, "It's a pity, my aesthetic tolerance is not enough, and it is more eye-catching to look at the beauties of our own family." ”
Ding Xue: "Maybe someone's father is a chief, you used to wait directly for succession, and you can marry dozens of wives." ”
I said, "What do you think of me?" Some kind of animal? ”
Ding Xue laughed: "That's not bad, in a few years, your people will be everywhere, and you will be a veritable chieftain." ”
I said, "you, I'm not so blessed that I can't afford it." ”
Ding Xue: "I have a bit of an impression of Sonya's father, I saw it at a cocktail party, it seems to be the vice consul, the executive kind, the consul is not in Shanghai, it is an official in name, he is actually the boss." ”
No wonder, when you come to Shanghai to be a consul, you can't do it without status.
Watching them walk away, Ding Xue pointed to the bar on the left and said, "Let's go there and sit down." ”
The bar in the hotel is different from the three sons, except that there is a band playing music on the stage, the audience is very quiet, most of them are foreigners, some drink, some talk in a low voice, and some close their eyes to enjoy the rich singing of the mezzo-soprano on stage.
This is perhaps what a bar should look like, a place to really relax.
The two of us found a corner and sat down, Ding Xue asked me what to drink, I said whatever you want, she said let's drink a little red bar, I can't drink enough, just drink red wine.
I nodded in agreement, and she beckoned to the waitress and asked for a bottle of dried red and some dried fruit.
Ding Xue is from the north like me, but not in the same province, and the northern language changes are relatively small, and we can even communicate in the local dialect.
Unlike Zhejiang, don't say that the language of one region is different, and you can't understand each other's words in every other county.
After the wine was opened, the waiter poured the wine into the decanter, and Ding Xue said that we would come by ourselves and took the waiter away.
I took the wine decanter and poured Ding Xue the wine, and poured a third of the glass myself.
Drinking red wine is different from drinking white wine, the white wine should be full, and the red wine only needs to be poured a little, mainly for tasting, not as a drink.
Who knew that Ding Xue would stop doing it, she said, it is full, just the two of us, how can we be so exquisite.
I looked at her and said that they were arrogant, and it seemed that the small and delicate Ding Xue also had this kind of character in her bones.
I had to fill the wine again, she raised her glass and said: "I'm very happy to meet your brother in Shanghai, counting, we are half a fellow countryman, I feel cordial when I see you at first sight, I recognize your brother, as long as it is useful to Ding Xue in the future, you say something, here, I have a few friends who talk to you." Xiaoxu, this is the first time we have drunk since we met, and we drank this one. ”
I'm a little confused, she just said that she can't drink well, why do you come up?
She drank it all, and I couldn't help it, so I drank it in one gulp.
This is much smoother than fighting foreign wine with Qian Feng'er, at least it doesn't feel hot.
I had to fill the wine again, but she picked up the glass again and said: "Xiaoxu, this second glass of wine is for our fate, we are all working hard in this ten-mile foreign field, in the vast sea of people, I just met you, come, drink a glass for our relationship." ”
Later, I had more contact with the people there there, and I learned that it was an ironclad rule to respect people for three glasses of wine on the wine table there, and each glass had a rhetoric.
Bang dang again.
I had to pour it again.
Then she picked up her glass again.
She said: "This glass of wine is called a long time, I hope we start from this glass of wine, and the friendship will grow longer and longer, forever and ever!" ”
Three glasses of wine were down, and one bottle was dry.
Ding Xue motioned to the waiter again to serve us wine.
The red wines here are all vintage wines, from a well-known winery in France, which can be compared to the foreign wine brand of Wen Hong's father's company.
Of course, the price is almost comparable.
I regret drinking red wine with her, and if it was foreign wine, maybe she could drink less.
Later, I learned that she didn't scare me with foreign wine, and she was completely at the level of Qian Feng'er.
The biggest difference between red wine and foreign wine is that although foreign wine is spicy in the throat, it does not have much stamina, and the amount of alcohol is easy to master. Red wine is different, the entrance is smooth, the aftertaste is strong, and when you finish drinking, that feeling, the world is spinning.
This time, Ding Xue didn't rush to continue, she peeled a pistachio with her slender fingers and put it in her mouth, and then said to me: "If you don't enter this industry, I always feel how glamorous and sought after this profession is. In fact, this profession is like stepping on a tightrope, and if you are not careful, you will never recover. ”
She paused and said, "Even if you can't fall, the oncoming storm can blow you to pieces, it seems to be a good-looking skin, a puppet that has long lost its soul, and a machine that can make money." ”
I was puzzled and said, "You can choose to go back to the ground?" ”
Ding Xue: "What's the matter?" I have said that this is a road of no return, a sailing ship that will never dock, go up, can only go forward, or die at the bottom of the sea, or get the so-called flowers and honors. ”
I said, "What about you?" Is it gained or lost? ”
She picked up the wine glass, didn't care about me, drank it in one gulp, gently wiped the wine stains on the corner of her mouth with a tissue, and then said: "I'm numb, I don't care if I get it or lose it, I just want to make money, and if I fall down in the future, at least I won't end up on the streets, begging along the streets." ”
I said, "How so?" ”
She picked up her glass again and said: "There are too many such examples, I won't name them, you can say that I vomit the truth after drinking, or say that I drink too much and talk nonsense, and when you really enter this industry, you will know what this condensed society is like." ”
I quickly poured my glass and drank it, then poured it and touched her.
Ding Xue continued after drinking dry: "I brought in the millennial company for this drama, and they have invested in several dramas in succession in the past few years, but the box office is not ideal, so they are very careful about investment." Although they gave me face this time, they were only willing to vote half, not 70% as Mr. Teng said. You know that there is a lot of investment in the early stage of preparing a play, and you are looking for famous directors and first-line actors, and this part is the big head, so the millennium money has been spent, and now it is waiting for the rice to be cooked. And this Mr. Teng is not very honest, I think Miss Sun will definitely hesitate, so I made an appointment with you, I want to talk to you, whether you vote or not, I really want to make you and Miss Sun, two friends, if you don't vote this time, maybe there will be a chance next time. ”
Sun Mohan really guessed correctly, Teng Weiqiang was selfish, but it is unknown whether Ding Xue's words have moisture.
I said: "If Miss Sun votes, we can't get around Teng Weiqiang, after all, he is the thread, but he has already set that price, how should we talk about this matter?" ”
Ding Xue: "It's not a contradiction, I'll explain it to you slowly later." ”
As she spoke, she picked up her glass again.
