17. Tacit play
"Hey, Sister Summer." Ling Ziyin connected, walked back to the window and closed the window, and the room was quiet again.
Summer's cheerful voice came: "You guys were at night, wasn't it?" "There were people talking in the background, and it was a bit noisy.
"It's night, but I'm not ready to sleep yet." He tried to suppress the excitement in his heart so that his voice didn't sound so excited.
"I have a mentor in Atlanta who wants to give me a gift, but she's too old to do international couriers, can you please go to her house and help me get it when I'm free?"
Ling Ziyin immediately responded, and then heard a male voice on the other end of the phone shouting at Xia, "Sister Xia, come here!" ”
Summer replied to the man, "Come right away!" ", and Ling Ziyin hurriedly said a few words and hung up.
Ling Ziyin pursed her lips, do you want to see her mentor?
Feeling that this was a more personal matter, Ling Ziyin thought as she walked into the bathroom to take off the mask.
The bangs of the man in the mirror were clamped, revealing a large white forehead, his face looked wet and wet because of the essence left over from the mask, and the dark brown pupils were bottomless.
He reached out and touched himself in the mirror.
Please, be more attractive to her...
------
Except for the first day in the United States, a few of them casually strolled around and had a delicious dinner, and from the second day, the whole team was spinning like a spinning top.
Line dance, record songs, rush to various studios to record, shoot, and for several nights, Ling Ziyin went home and fainted directly without even taking a shower, and suddenly woke up in the middle of the night before crawling to take a bath.
The intensity of the trip is indeed very high, and Su Wenqing has a fever because of overwork in the past few days.
On the day they recorded their last song, they went to a well-known music studio in Atlanta, and after talking to the staff and instructors, they started recording according to their own parts.
While Ling Ziyin was waiting outside the recording room, a blonde foreign man and another staff member passed by him in a whispered exchange, and he suddenly glanced at Ling Ziyin, who was reading the lyrics while making circles on the paper with a pen.
“Leo?” The blonde man looked at him uncertainly, and after confirming it, he yelled at Ling Zi in surprise, "Why are you here?!" (Why are you here?!) )”
Ling Ziyin was suddenly called by his name, and subconsciously raised his eyes to look at the source of the voice: "Andrew..."
When he was a student in Atlanta, he had always lived alone in a rented house near the school, living alone and with few friends. Andrew was one of his classmates who was writing group assignments together in one of his classes, and they were playing music, so they crossed paths a little.
“Wait… You… are the member of this group? Andrew's eyes instantly widened, and his voice was several times louder, and Ling Ziyin hurriedly went over and grabbed him by the shoulders and pulled him aside.
“Listen Andrew, please keep this as a secret. (Please help me keep it a secret)" Ling Ziyin glanced at the people around him, but fortunately, no one was paying attention to them, they were all resting and talking on their own.
Andrew had a question mark on his face: "Keep what?" To whom? (Secret what?) To whom? )”
“Keep everything from everyone, I don't want others know my past. (Keeping anything of me a secret from anyone, I don't want anyone to know about my past)," Ling Ziyin said to him in a low voice.
Seeing his frowning brow, Andrew hurriedly agreed.
But what he didn't understand was why he needed to keep what he knew about Leo secret.
He and Leo are both students at the UXL School of Business in Atlanta, which is one of the world's most prestigious Ivy League schools.
But since Leo had already asked him to keep it a secret, he naturally had no reason to say it.
After a few more conversations, Ling learned that Andrew had moved from UXL's business school to the music management department and was now working as an intern at the studio.
It's nice that he was brave enough to do what he loved.
At the same time, in a private room in a certain Jiangcheng nightclub at one o'clock in the morning, Xia was already half drunk.
SL's high-level party is a drinking party that everyone wants to participate in, and among the many capitalists and celebrity directors, they can only sit on the side in the summer.
Summer often feels that a person's birth has determined 99% of that person's future, and if you want to change your life to win that 1% miracle, you need to pay 10,000 times more effort than ordinary people.
But even if she used 24 hours a day as 48 hours, she was nowhere near the people who took center stage in the meeting.
With a few fingertips, one hand can cover the sky, which is enough to easily pinch to death those who can only use themselves as backers.
"Mr. Xia, I'm still dressed up so beautifully today." In the dim light, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes walked towards the summer with a glass of wine, and his expression was frivolous behind his rimless glasses.
"I won the award, Mr. Wu." Summer got up from the couch and politely replied, taking a large sip of the wine in his hand, the hot liquid flowing down his throat and into his stomach, and he throbbed irrepressibly.
Summer today wore a red close-fitting long skirt, a short suit casually draped over the shoulders, the V-neckline design of the long skirt outlined her sexiness, showing her perfect curves to the fullest, and the black thin strappy high heels on her feet added a touch of charm to her.
Mr. Wu's eyes lit up, and he approached the summer a little closer, and the summer retreated quietly, and the smile on his face did not decrease by half.
"You SL really have rounded up this year's iconic place in Jiangcheng, how can this make other brands live." Mr. Wu said as he picked up the wine bottle on the table and filled the wine glass in Xiaxia's hand.
Summer held the wine glass in both hands and did not drink, but still responded politely.
Just when Mr. Wu was thinking about how to take the opportunity to take Xiaxia's hand or put his arm around her shoulder and rub some oil, the door of the box was opened, and everyone's eyes were attracted.
In an instant, almost everyone flocked to it.
After Mr. Wu saw the people coming, he couldn't care about the summer, and squeezed forward in three steps and two steps.
"Jin Dong! Mr. Jin! You're here! ”
"I didn't expect Dong Jin to come today."
"Mr. Jin is really young and promising, a talent, I look at it and envy it."
Listening to them chattering around there, Summer secretly sneered, those who are high in front of others, there are always people with more real power who will make them willing to flatter.
Jin Hong, the chairman of the Jin Group, and his son Jin Zichen, are now the hottest chaebol leaders in the business world, involved in biotechnology, energy development, retail, financial investment and many other fields.
And Jin Hong's wife, Jin Zichen's mother Song Jingya, is the cousin of the current mayor of the capital, and the Jin family can be said to be both commercial and political.
For people of this level, there is no need to contact her in the summer, so she still stays in her little corner and entertains herself.
Fortunately, at such a party, the wine served was not bad, and in the summer, while emptying my eyes, I unconsciously drank half a glass, and my ears were filled with hypocritical flattery and loud music.
"Mr. Xia, hello." At this time, a gentle voice came into Xia Xia's ears, and before she could recognize who it was, he continued to speak, "I'm Han Jingxuan." ”
This name is a little familiar, raise your eyes in summer, this person has black hair, big eyes and delicate facial features, ah...... When I think about it, I think it's a member of a singing and dancing group.
"Hello." Summer shook his outstretched hand shallowly.
Han Jingxuan became a little embarrassed because of this moment's touch, he looked at the wine glass in Xia Xia's hand, as if he had the courage to speak: "I see that you have drunk a lot of wine, do you have something on your mind?" ”
Summer was a little puzzled when asked, and I didn't know what his purpose was for such a headless "concern".
"No, I don't mean anything else...... Han Jingxuan looked at Xiaxia's expression and hurriedly explained, "I'm afraid that you will feel uncomfortable if you drink too much." ”
When Xia Xia heard this, he instantly understood the little abacus in his heart, and smiled faintly: "No, thank you." ”
Seeing her lack of interest in herself, Han Jingxuan felt a little embarrassed, obviously inquired that she liked to engage in some peachy deals with young male idols, but why did she feel like she had hit a wall today.
Is it because you can't look down on him?
Han Jingxuan, who didn't give up, sat down next to her again, didn't get too close to her, and his tone was full of obedience: "I'm just...... I want to get to know Mr. Xia. ”
Before the words fell, Xia Xia suddenly approached him directly, and Han Jingxuan was stunned.
It's good-looking.,It's the type she's always liked.。
"How do you want to get acquainted?" Her red lips opened slightly, and there was a hint of playfulness in her eyes.
"Summer... Total. Han Jingxuan was both nervous and excited, if he could find a financier like Summer, who was so beautiful and had resources in hand, it could only be said that he would make a steady profit.
The light in the box was very dim, only some scattered light balls lit up some corners from time to time, and Xia watched Han Jingxuan's face slowly approach her, and just as the mouth was about to touch her, she suddenly turned her face sideways.
Han Jingxuan's kiss suddenly landed on Xia Xia's face.
"Sorry, I don't want to make new friends today." Xia Xia picked up the cup and gently touched the cup in Han Jingxuan's hand, and got up after drinking all the wine inside, "I'm out of company." ”
Han Jingxuan looked at the back left by the summer and clenched his fists unwillingly.
In the second half of the night, after three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere in the box became more and more confused, and while anyone was paying attention, several bosses had already walked out with beautiful little girls/young men, and those who accidentally witnessed it would only pretend not to see it.
In the summer, I chatted with a few investors and partners for a while, and then waited until she clicked on her phone, and the time was already more than two o'clock.
Thinking that it was almost time to go back, she got up from the couch and suddenly felt a dizziness in her head.
And at this moment, there happened to be another person passing in front of him, and when he wanted to dodge in the summer, he accidentally didn't stand firm, and fell back on the sofa.
The man quickly grabbed her arm: "Are you alright?" ”
"Stop! Let her go! ”
