Chu Tianmian doesn't like to catch early morning flights.

She likes to look at the soft tumbling clouds like cotton candy, the temperature of the sun passing through the window, and likes to read a literary and artistic book quietly in such light.

Flying at night can become boring and dreary, and the moon is not seen much in the dark sky, and the rumbling sound of flight becomes noisy and disturbing in such an environment.

The more you don't have an internet connection, the more you want to go online, and the more you want to call someone when you don't have a signal.

Such a night machine, except for shrinking up and taking a nap, there is no way to pass the time.

But last night, she resolutely asked her assistant to help book the latest flight.

Originally, when she watched the program "I Am a Masked Singer", Miss Chu was still in a good mood.

Everyone did a great job, and everything else aside, the game was worth the price of the ticket.

Justin of his own company, well-known old singers, new singer-songwriters Vivian and Chen Jinzhi.

Chu Tianmian thought about it, what to call her.

Heck, wouldn't it be a little too old-fashioned to talk about old classmates, they weren't that old in the first place.

As one of the most important investors in the show, of course, she already knew that Chen Jinzhi was going to participate.

In other words, in this resolution, Chu Tingmian even has a veto power.

The chief director of the show attaches a little too much importance to her, of course, this is obviously for the sake of her father's face.

However, Chu Tianmian had no idea of accepting this right, and she opened herself and the show very openly.

She did put money into the show, but this does not mean that she has any feelings for the show, nor does it mean that she wants to become a community with the show in some sense.

Part of the reason why I decided to invest was because I thought the show would be popular, and partly because I thought it would be popular. It's also because it's for the sake of my father's face.

So when the chief director came over with the list to ask for her opinion, Chu Tianmian resisted, but she saw a familiar name under the "Candidate List of Kicking Singers".

Iris (real name: Chen Jinzhi), an artist under 101 Company.

"This list is currently part of the invitation we are going to make after considering the popularity flow and overall strength.

Of course, the specifics have not yet been decided. ”

Seeing that she seemed to be somewhat interested in the name, the chief director immediately continued:

"If you think it's inappropriate to invite such a traffic idol, you can delete it immediately."

The eldest lady in front of her lowered her eyes and looked introverted, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Hey, the vase that doesn't work in it, every show has to have one or two, you say yes."

The chief director's heart is a little drumming, and the more he talks, the more bottomless he becomes.

This eldest lady is an easy-going and kind personality in private, but during working hours, she suddenly becomes cold and serious, and she has a temperament that rejects people thousands of miles away.

He and her father Chu Yuanjiang were indeed old classmates, but the relationship was not good, he was unknown at that time, and he was bored to study.

And Chu Yuanjiang was already very top-notch in middle school, and he was a typical campus figure.

The grades are not good, but there is nothing to say about interpersonal relationships, everywhere can be mixed, teachers and classmates are full of praise when they mention him, and the election for class president every year is unanimously approved.

At that time, the director felt that this person would definitely be able to make a name for himself in the future, although his family was ordinary at that time, and he could even be said to be poor.

And that's exactly what happened.

After graduating from high school, he wasted time in 211 University, while Chu Yuanjiang took an ordinary undergraduate exam, started a business while going to school, and became a leading financial predator in the industry in just a few years.

It's hard not to say that it's a natural business acumen, and it has something to do with the social talent of seeing people and talking about people.

After the director graduated, the road was not easy, and he hit a wall all the way, and at this time, the old classmate was soaring all the way.

is engaged in art, a little bit of a self-esteem, feeling that he is a talented person, and the old classmate can make money only because he can take off Kong Yiji's robe and put down his body.

It's just that after being beaten by reality for ten years, he was desperate, and contacted Chu Yuanjiang with the mentality of trying it out.

originally thought that he would definitely be given some cold reception, but he didn't expect the other party to have no shelf at all, so he received him immediately.

What surprised the director the most was that as soon as Chu Yuanjiang saw him, he got up and shook hands, and the first thing he said was:

"Hong Mao! Long time no see, long time no see. ”

Director Hong was actually very nervous in his heart, he didn't expect Chu Yuanjiang to remember himself, he was so poor, this kind of behavior was no less than coming to fight the autumn wind.

But Chu Yuanjiang seemed to really catch up with his old classmates, and personally brewed good Longjing tea, making precious time to talk to him.

However, the more he did this, the more Hong Mao couldn't open his mouth for help.

Unexpectedly, Chu Yuanjiang poured him a cup of tea, and took the initiative to reminisce about the past with a smile.

"Hey, the years are not forgiving. Remember? There was an English test, and you passed me the answers, but I was fortunate to have you that time, otherwise I would have been beaten up by my dad when I got home. ”

Hong Mao didn't remember this at all, he drank hot tea, and Nuo Nuo said yes.

"After graduation, I have been coming out to do some small business, hey, there is no ideal, you are still good at literary and artistic creation!"

Chu Yuanjiang's words made Hong Mao think that he was sarcastic about him, and he was so embarrassed that he was about to break out in a cold sweat, but he didn't expect his next sentence to be:

"Maozi, I've seen the "Bell Tower" you filmed, and I like it very much. It just so happens that I have a project here, everything is ready, just a good director, I don't know if you have time to try it? ”

To be honest, Hong Mao wanted to cry a little for a moment.

Boss Chu has a lot of opportunities, and he has actually seen his works that no one cares about, and he is willing to give him a chance.

For a while, a thousand thanks were blocked in my throat, and I couldn't speak.

So the literary film director Hong Mao officially announced his transformation and went to shoot the variety show project provided by Chu Yuanjiang, which became an instant hit and made a lot of money.

This is the friendship of classmates, but also the grace of acquaintance.

Therefore, Hong Mao treats Chu Yuanjiang's pearl in the palm of his hand even more respectfully, without the slightest hint of a well-known director's shelf.

Chu Tianmian didn't know about this layer, after all, the version that Chu Yuanjiang told her was: The two of them should be good in middle school and wear a pair of pants.

But she didn't believe even a single punctuation mark.

According to Chu Yuanjiang, he had to wear a pair of pants with at least twenty people when he was in middle school!

My father is a genuine, talented businessman, and I am afraid that no one in the world knows how to invest better than him.

If Hong Mao told her about this touching past, she would immediately be able to pierce the lies inside.

Hong Mao doesn't remember what happened to pass on the answer not because he was forgetful, but because it didn't happen at all.

Chu Yuanjiang told this old classmate today to pass on the answer, and tomorrow he may tell another old classmate to skip class and go online.

Anyway, just casually.

And the so-called reading of his works afterwards is also deceptive.

Chu Yuanjiang is very busy every day, how can he have time to watch a literary film with less than 1,000 people and a Douban score of 5.4?

He probably just searched for his name on the Internet during the minute that Hong Mao took the elevator upstairs.

That's all.

And that timely and rainy project is only the most inconspicuous one among Boss Chu's daily opportunities.

Throw it to an acquaintance to do, of course it's good if it's on fire, it's good to fight, and if you pounce, it's going to be pounced, and the loss is negligible to him.

Unexpectedly, Hong Mao was grateful to him for reaching out and tried his best to seize this opportunity, so that he really turned around, which is a later story.

Therefore, in Vanity Fair, interests come first, this is the truth that Chu Yuanjiang taught him by his words and deeds.

Chu Qianmian felt that she couldn't be as ruthless as him, at least she couldn't manage interpersonal communication as an investment.

So when she saw the name of her old classmate, her first reaction was to maintain it.

Although I have seen such heartbreaking scenes before.

"Director Hong, I have no intention of interfering with your program, and naturally I will not have any opinions on the selection of the program team."

Chu Qianmian put the list back on the coffee table, and his expression did not change.

Hong Mao breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and was about to speak, when she spoke again:

"However, since you have drawn up your own selection list, should you maintain basic respect for the players?"

Hong Mao secretly said that it was not good in an instant, and realized that he had no brains to speak.

"That, no, Miss Chu, you may have misunderstood"

Chu Tianmian has always been very well-educated, but this time he directly interrupted him.

"In addition, I happened to hear that the program team temporarily changed Miss Chen Jinzhi's status as a resident singer to a kicking player, which has already involved the issue of commercial integrity."

She looked at Hong Mao calmly, and there was no warmth in her eyes.

"If this is your attitude towards the contestants as the official of the show, then I think Awakening Entertainment may need to reconsider whether the cooperation with you continues."

The words fell, and she got up gracefully.

Hong Mao hurriedly followed, pouring out the explanations and apologies that had been made up in a hurry.

Chu Tianmian had no interest in continuing the conversation, and the Rolls-Royce, who was waiting outside the door, left.

Before the windows closed, she gave her last politeness and waved goodbye.

Hong Mao watched the taillights of the Rolls-Royce disappear, and suddenly dragged back to the office with heavy steps like a deflated ball.

Just then, the assistant pushed the door open and handed him the damn list.

"Director Hong, the 101 company said that it has no opinion on the appearance order of the singers in the gym, so do you want to continue to push Chen Jinzhi's order back."

"Shut up!"

Hong Mao flipped over the documents on the table.

The assistant was startled and didn't know what he had said wrong.

After all, the program team has always had an extremely contemptuous attitude towards 101 Company.

Hong Mao took a deep breath and pressed his temple.

"Maintain the current arrangement, Chen Jinzhi will appear in the second phase. In addition, increase the publicity and distribution of kicking singers.

Change the flow settings so that the Kick Singer is in the last vantage point.

At the same time, the qualification for the repechage match will be increased, and if the kick hall fails, there will be an encore performance and a late repechage match. ”

The assistant didn't dare to come out, and he wrote in his notebook, unconscious.

Perhaps it was because the last meeting was very unpleasant that after the end of the second episode, Director Hong had to organize such a dinner.

There was a circle of people sitting at the huge round table, each of whom looked like a sailor invited by Director Hong.

Everyone's task is to blow a rainbow fart to Chu Tianmian from various angles.

The round table rotated automatically, and Chu Tianmian stared at the plate of golden cake for a long time, and finally picked up the chopsticks and wanted to clip them, but someone stood up respectfully with a wine glass:

"Sure enough, it is a tiger father and no dog girl, Miss Chu is really radiant, worthy of being the pearl of her palm!"

Chu Tianmian was so embarrassed that he wanted to get under the table, but he could only keep smiling and return the gift with a cup.

It was easy to survive this play, and Director Hong stood up again with a red face and called on everyone to clink glasses together.

"Miss Chu can come to the banquet today, Hong is very grateful! Come, everyone toast Miss Chu! ”

Chu Qianmian looked at the golden cake that had been cold and had passed the tasting period, and felt very aggrieved.

What's even more terrifying is that Director Hong also revealed tomorrow's itinerary at the dinner table, and he was going to invite Chu Tianmian to play golf.

Chu Tianmian asked his assistant to book a plane ticket overnight and ran away.

Sitting in the cabin, when she was bored, she couldn't help but recall what happened to Chen Jinzhi.

Although she is an old classmate, she has no longer been in touch since graduation.

Chen Jinzhi is different from other classmates, she only transferred in the second semester of her third year of high school, and she is an art student, and she did not even take the final college entrance examination.

So her connection with the class group is actually very weak, and she disappeared into the class group soon after graduation.

Throughout the semester, Chu Qianmian's communication with her only stayed at the sentence when distributing test papers and collecting homework:

"Classmate, yours~"

"Okay, thank you."

Chen Jinzhi spoke to her in a very childlike tone, very gentle.

But because of this, the little squad leader, who has always been good at communicating, doesn't know how to make friends with her.

It stands to reason that as the class leader, you should take good care of your new classmates, but Chen Jin does not have the usual restraint and shyness of newcomers, on the contrary, she is always at ease.

So the little squad leader didn't even have a chance to help.

Chu Tianmian thought, anyway, there is still time, let's find a chance next time!

Thinking about it like this, you finish your course.

ushered in a scene like that on the rooftop.

The reason why Chu Qianmian felt so heartbroken was actually a large part because Chen Jinzhi was too perfect, and she felt that no one in the world would reject Chen Jinzhi.

If she's a guy, she's definitely going to like that genre too.

It's not a tsundere, careful-eyed, jealous, jealous, bad-tempered, awkward guy at every turn.

But later, Su Chengyi said that it was a misunderstanding.

Chu Qianmian's first reaction was that he felt that he was so bold and had no vision, but he was actually more happy.

Glad it was because her liking lasted longer.

I can't think of any other reason than that.

If Su Chengyi had chosen to be with Chen Jinzhi at that time, she would probably have just quit silently.

Miss Chu is still proud in her bones, she is unwilling to fall into a pitiful situation, so at least she has to take the initiative to make such a choice.

It is precisely because of this pride that she will not because of such a past, so that she can only think of emotional matters when she sees Chen Jinzhi, let alone treat her as a rival in love to target and guard.

The past has passed, and Chu Tianmian sincerely hopes that everyone can live well.

"Mercury" is very good, and Mercury on the stage is very beautiful, so her vote was voted for her without hesitation.

Chu Tianmian thought, she should not become a profit supremacist, and her love should also be frank and open.

It was already evening when I saw Su Chengyi.

He wore a mask, did not play with his mobile phone, and just stood quietly under the agreed camphor tree.

When the time for the evening class came, people passed by one after another, and the eyes of the two briefly met through the crowd, and he nodded slightly.

Chu Tianmian laughed, quickened his pace and stepped down the stone steps, running through the crowd to him.

She stood on tiptoe and wrapped her arms around his neck, Su Chengyi lowered her eyes, and her arms wrapped around her thin waist.

"Why don't you call me? I'll have to wait a long time. ”

Chu Qianmian said as he reached out to pull his mask rope, pretending to be very dissatisfied and said:

"Are you a male star? See I'm still wearing a mask! Strange! ”

Su Chengyi didn't speak, and let her move.

He knew that the first thing the eldest lady did when she saw him was to take off the mask.

Chu Tianmian's smile instantly froze when he saw the wound on his chin.

It was deliberately untreated, so it still had blood stains and looked like a blood stain.

Su Chengyi watched her beautiful pupils gradually become flustered, and explained:

"I accidentally scratched it."

"Why?"

Chu Tianmian frowned worriedly, and a layer of mist quickly appeared in his eyes.

She reached out and touched the wound lightly, then immediately retracted her finger and asked in a low voice:

"Does it hurt?"

At this time, it stands to reason that it should have been said that it hurts, but Su Chengyi looked at her like this, and he really couldn't act anymore.

"It doesn't hurt, it's fine. Razor-scraped. ”

He rolled his Adam's apple unnaturally and reached out to pull back on his mask.

Towards the north, the guilt is a little stronger than I imagined.
