A few years ago, Zhong Li finally received a role with more scenes, which was the heroine's best friend and vicious female supporting actress in a campus web drama.

However, on the day of the official shooting, the director stared at her face for a long time, frowning.

Zhong Li didn't understand it at first, until he went to the bathroom and overheard two staff members muttering: "This is the female partner?" She looks more beautiful than the heroine, she has no makeup, and she doesn't wear much makeup. ”

"Otherwise, what is Shu Ran doing there all the time? said that this beauty would not play her. ”

"That's right, if this is really broadcast, the heroine will be ridiculed by the group, right? Shuran's black fans are about to die of happiness. We are originally a low-cost online drama, and we didn't pick many beautiful heroines. ”

"I guess there will be a change. Although she is beautiful, she is not famous at all......"

Zhong Li was in a hurry, and when he turned around, he found the director and said that his hairstyle did not quite match the image in the play, and he was willing to take the initiative to pretend to be ugly.

The director was very satisfied with her new appearance of the explosive head, and the heroine was also satisfied, and the filming continued.

There was a scene on this day on the outdoor basketball court, and Shu Ran, who played the heroine, was in a bad mood for some reason, and this part was filmed until 8 o'clock in the middle of the night.

"Director Liu, I'm not feeling well, I'm going to the car to take a rest." She said irritably.

The director hurriedly smiled and asked people to drive the nanny car over.

Three assistants came over together and accompanied her to the nanny car in the distance.

"It's different if someone praises it." A supporting actress in the crew sighed.

"I've always heard that there is someone behind her, but I don't know who it is." The other wondered.

"She just signed for Long River Pictures, you know? Changhe is affiliated to Changhe Group, who is the boss? You don't need me to remind you, do you? ”

“…… No way? ......The man covered his mouth, "doesn't he have a wife?" ”

"People who have mixed up to this level, who doesn't have a few women around them? What is it to have a wife? ”

The longer the intermission, the colder it became for Zhong Li to stay outside.

Her scene was filmed in the summer, so she only wore a short-sleeved shirt. Although it is not yet the cold winter wax moon, the temperature at night is almost below zero, and the cold wind blows, and she shiveres from the cold.

She squatted on the side of the road and played with the stones for a while, and couldn't help but look up at the nanny car in the distance.

There was a faint yellow light from inside the car, and the heating was very full. Three assistants took care of Shuran, one was helping her tie her hair, one was helping her cook instant noodles, and one was helping her pinch her shoulders and legs.

Zhong Li sniffed, and there was an indescribable sadness in his heart.

It seems that a piece of coptis has been stuffed in the cold weather, and a faint bitterness unconsciously overflows between the lips and teeth.

"Why are you here alone?" A soft, deep voice came from overhead.

When Zhong Li looked up and saw Rong Ling, he really felt like he was dreaming.

This is Ningshi, which is more than 1,000 kilometers away from Beijing, and she never expected that he would appear here.

Surprised, she blinked and looked at him distractedly.

It took me a while to realize that she didn't look good now. The face was painted with freckles, an exploding head, and a dirty floral shirt.

She was so annoyed that she asked him weakly, "Why are you here?" ”

"I came to see a partner, he said he was going to invite me to dinner, and his little girlfriend happened to be filming here, so I stopped by to take a look."

"Oh." Zhong Li nodded and didn't speak.

She buried her head deep in her knees, hoping that he would go quickly.

The face is completely lost at this moment.

That night, Rong Ling talked to her for a while and left, as if she was really just passing by.

After she waited for half an hour, the director came to tell the whole crew that it was too late, and that the film would be moved to tomorrow and let them go back to rest.

When Zhong Li went to change his clothes, he heard someone in the dressing room talking again: "What's too late, it's clear that the heroine doesn't want to act, and she went to dinner with her boyfriend!" What a speechless! ”

"Did you just see her boyfriend? Is it really Li Honglang? Changhe Group, that Li Honglang? ”

"I didn't see it clearly, but I saw her get into a Beijing A8 Rolls-Royce."

These have nothing to do with Zhong Li, and after a tired day, she hurriedly went to the hotel to eat.

She was so hungry that she hadn't eaten anything, and she was so hungry that she almost lost consciousness.

The hotel is one of those old-fashioned guesthouses, with a counter at the door, and only an emergency sensor light is left at night.

Zhong Li was a little scared and hurriedly stepped up.

Before she could go in, someone called out to her in the back.

Zhong Li turned around, and a strange young man in a suit and leather shoes stood under the locust tree next to her, waiting for her, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

"You know me?" Zhong Li searched and made sure that there was no such person in his memory.

"I'm Mr. Rong's secretary, Xie Ping." The young man named Xie Ping smiled generously at her and said concisely, "Please follow me." ”

Zhong Li didn't know what happened to him at the time, so he followed him into the car without asking carefully.

After driving for more than ten minutes, the car finally stopped in front of a well-known local hotel.

The hotel's décor is luxurious, the crystal lamps are as bright as day, and the carpet under her feet makes her feel a sense of vanity, as if she is stepping on a cloud.

The destination was at the end of the corridor, and when she pushed open the door of the private room, Zhong Li could clearly feel that the eyes inside had fallen on her, and she couldn't help but soften her steps.

There were seven or eight men and women at the table inside, some wearing formal clothes and some wearing regular clothes, but most of them had good temperaments.

Rong Ling undoubtedly sat on the main seat.

He took off his suit and wore only a white shirt, which was more casual than usual. Seeing her, he casually knocked on the vacant seat next to him: "Sit on my side." ”

In the eyes of the rest of the people, either curious or scrupulous, Zhong Li stubbornly walked over and sat down.

The chair was upholstered in hardwood, but she felt like she was on pins and needles.

This position is obviously where the eyes are focused.

Fortunately, no one asked her anything, just that she was Rong Ling's companion. Most of them still talk to him and talk about things in the industry.

Zhong Li lowered his head and drank tea, he couldn't understand it at all, but after listening to it for a while, he could hear some clues.

For example, the one on her left is actually the CEO of the largest private construction company in the province, and the one on the left is a senior partner of a leading investment company in the industry, and in the past, he was the major shareholder of a large group company......

The biggest boss she usually saw was the boss of a third-rate beverage brand, and she could crush any one of them during this banquet, so it's no wonder she wasn't nervous.

She hadn't seen anything like it before.

I listened to them talking and laughing, talking about the recent domestic market in various fields, from aviation to infrastructure, from infrastructure to sports, and from sports to entertainment...... She didn't know anything but awe.

But fortunately, this doesn't seem to be a formal occasion to talk about business, and most of them are still chatting, as if they are picking him up.

"Why do you only drink water and not eat?" A familiar voice suddenly came from her ears, and it turned out to be Rong Ling who turned sideways and asked her.

There was a sudden silence on the table, and many inquiring eyes fell on her.

Zhong Li's face flushed uncomfortably: "...... I ate. ”

"I don't think you have much to eat." He scooped a ball of wide powder with a male spoon and gave it to her, "This fish gelatin is good, beauty and beauty, you can taste it." ”

"Thank you." It turned out that it was not a fan......

She poked the translucent mass with her spoon, which at first glance looked unremarkable, but after tasting it casually, she felt a fresh fragrance.

It is not a umami that is hard to come up with condiments, but a natural delicacy.

Yellow-lipped fish gelatin, worth more than one million, is indeed extraordinary.

She didn't eat much of this meal at all, and she felt indigestion after eating it.

Except for some dishes that Rong Ling picked up for her, she didn't use chopsticks at all. It was finally at the end that she breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that she was really not a material for upward annexation.

She stood on the steps and waited, her gaze couldn't help but look into the distance.

Several bosses at the banquet surrounded him, greeting him and saying goodbye. He responded one by one, with a kind and polite attitude.

Not to mention anything else, this expression management ability really made Zhong Li admire.

At least, she didn't see the slightest impatience on his part after this meal, and she kept playing Tai Chi with them without any flaws.

There are some seats that are not for ordinary people to sit in.

A meal for hours, every day like this, don't you die?

"What are you muttering? Are you scolding me behind my back? He walked up to her in his suit at some point.

Zhong Li was startled, held his chest and said, "Why don't you walk without a sound?" ”

When the girl was frightened, her eyes were round, her face was not made up, she had a natural skin texture, and she was tender and tender, which made people want to pinch it.

Rong Ling looked at her for a while, retracted his gaze, and walked down the steps neatly.

Handmade leather shoes make a slight noise on the steps.

Zhong Li saw that he was walking away, and he didn't understand, but he still followed quickly. This man was always so inscrutable, she really couldn't guess what was going on in his heart, and sometimes even felt inexplicable.

The driver had already pulled up to the front, got out of the car and respectfully opened the door for him.

Rong Ling didn't go up, and raised his chin slightly towards her.

Zhong Li was stunned for a moment before he realized that this was to let her go first.

She hurriedly went up.

However, the chassis of this car was high, and she was nervous, so she stumbled when she went up, but fortunately she didn't look foreign.

She hurriedly whispered to herself: "I don't usually take this kind of car. ”

"I see." There was a smile in his voice, and his slender legs stepped up and sat down beside her.

Zhong Li was uncomfortable.

The car door closed, the space became closed and cramped, she felt inexplicably nervous, and her snort seemed to be filled with the crisp breath of his body.

There is a cold, woody scent on him, which is very light, but the sense of presence seems to be very strong.

It made her feel uncomfortable every time she was close to him.

"How do you feel after eating this meal?" In the silence, he suddenly spoke.

Like just casually asking.

Zhong Li really considered it for a while, and then asked tentatively: "...... Have I offended you somewhere? "Otherwise, why do you want to fix her like this?

Rong Ling: "......"

Sometimes, it is really difficult to communicate between people, such as him and her at this moment, and their thinking is not on the same channel at all.

Brought her to a long time to learn about the human relations of his class, and she actually thought so.

In fact, at that time, he was just doing it casually, and in retrospect, he realized that he had inadvertently had a different idea at that time.

However, he didn't delve into this topic at the time, and he was not a person who liked to delve into it.

Of course, more of a reason is that he is tired.

There was no sound in his ears, Zhong Li waited for a while, thinking that he was angry, but when he looked back, he found that he was asleep leaning back in the seat.

He was quiet when he slew, with thin, dense eyelashes and a straight nose.

If you look at it so closely, you can't see any blemishes on your skin, which is really a superior skin look.

The figure is also impeccable, she has seen many people wearing suits, but no one can wear a very simple suit and shirt like him, with wide shoulders and a narrow waist, a pair of long legs with superior proportions, and it is also elegant and noble to lean in the back of the chair so relaxed.

Whether it is when speaking, smiling or silent, even when there is a straight face, there is a kind of natural nobility, like the brightest stars in the night sky, out of reach.

At first glance, it is ...... The kind of boy and brother who came from a good background, can't fight that kind of person with her, and it's also the kind of person who must not be offended.

When they are happy, they treat you as a friend, and when they turn their faces, they can let you know what it means to be human.

Xue Hong often warned her not to be contaminated with this kind of person, getting ahead and making money is the top priority, don't go a fork in the road. Although it is the first purpose to make money for her, there is no lack of genuine care.

Nothing to say all the way.

Later, the car stopped at the hotel where she was staying, and he opened his eyes, pressed his eyebrows, and asked the driver, "Arrived?" ”

"Yes, Mr. Yung." The driver replied respectfully.

Rong Ling wanted to push the door: "Let's go, I'll send you in." ”

"No, it's all at the door." She hid the feeling of inferiority in her heart and raised a smile at him.

Under his gaze, she jumped down and burrowed into the hotel.

It's like a little squirrel.

He smiled and shook his head: "Let's go, go back to the hotel." ”

The driver responds and the car restarts.

-

In the past month or so that he has been filming in Ningshi, Zhong Li is not tired.

In fact, she doesn't play many scenes in Jinglan, but the heroine Shuran has to make a little trouble from time to time, it's not that her aunt is here today and doesn't want to shoot it, or she has an NG dozens of times, everyone in the crew can only stand with her and wait in the cold winter wax moon, and the scenes that she only needs to shoot for less than a month have been extended to more than a month.

Many people complain a lot about her, and several communication platforms have her black material.

However, her company's team is very powerful, and they are all pressed down.

This day is off, and Zhong Li stays in the hotel.

"It's good to have someone behind you, and you want to build it." Chen Lujia, who was in a hotel room with her, complained to her, "Otherwise, with her acting skills, it is estimated that Director Liu wants to beat her to death." There is no way, she is wholly owned in the group, and Director Liu can only pretend to be a grandson. ”

Zhong Li couldn't talk to him, so he could only smile and continue to use nail clippers to get his nails trimmed.

Chen Lujia stared at her for a while, and actually thought it was incredible: "You are so beautiful, no one praises you?" ”

Not to mention Shu Ran's kind of praise, this kind of good-looking company is so laissez-faire?

"The most important thing in this circle is beauty." Zhong Li said.

"That's right." Chen Lujia said with a smile, "Either you have a good family background, then you have a background, otherwise it's really difficult to mix." Look at me, I've been running for seven or eight years, isn't it still like this? I graduated from Chinese opera. I discussed it with my boyfriend, if I don't get any more famous next year, I plan to quit the circle and return to my hometown to get married. ”

I feel close to each other.

Zhong Li said in his heart and sighed secretly.

A low-cost online drama like this is generally only filmed for a month or two, and the post-processing can be released in a month.

Zhong Li is only a supporting role, and by the beginning of December, her role had been completed.

She packed up and prepared to go home tomorrow.

However, a not very pleasant thing happened the day before leaving.

That day, the director said that there was a problem in the later stage of the clip, and asked her to go over to make up for a paragraph, and Zhong Li passed without saying a word.

Who knew that Shuran was in a bad mood, and smashed a bowl of instant noodles at the scene, and a lot of soup splashed on her.

Fortunately, it's not hot, but it's a little red on the wrist.

Reading Shuran was still arguing with the male protagonist, so she silently went to the bathroom to tidy up.

Washing and washing, I don't know why my nose is sore.

When passing by the set, the director was comforting Shu Ran with the staff, the actor Xing Yue was stinky with a pestle on the side, and the producer was sighing and doing ideological work for him.

From beginning to end, no one paid attention to her.

She silently went to the pharmacy outside the set to buy scald ointment.

The doorbell rang, and a guest came: "Band-aid." ”

The voice was familiar, Zhong Li turned around, and it turned out to be Rong Ling.

"Why are you here?" She was really surprised.

He didn't answer, his eyes fell on the burn ointment in her hand: "Hurt?" ”

Zhong Li hurriedly grabbed the ointment in his hand and unveiled it with a smile: "Accidentally, it's okay." ”

I don't want him to see his predicament.

He nodded, and didn't ask more.

It was almost noon, and they went to a nearby Chinese restaurant for dinner.

After chatting a few words on the way, Zhong Li realized that he lived nearby, just across the street from the hotel where she was staying.

But across the street, there are two worlds entirely.

On one side is a messy shantytown, dirty and messy, highlighting a poor; On the other side, there are high-rise buildings and bright lights, as if more than a century has passed.

This restaurant is different from the last time I went to, it is a farm stay, the location is quite remote, and the decoration is very simple.

However, the dishes are very good.

Zhong Li ate a Buddha jumping over the wall, because it was so delicious, he didn't bother to talk to him for a while.

After eating, she said embarrassedly, "Why don't you eat it?" ”

He seemed to eat very little, and it tasted so good, but he looked lacking in interest.

Rong Ling looked at her sideways and said half-jokingly: "Watching you eat is more interesting than eating by yourself." ”

Zhong Li: "......" always felt that he was laughing at her eating appearance.

Is her eating really ugly?

Rong Ling received a phone call at this time.

He got up and went to the window to listen, and looked into the distance with a flat gaze: "...... Okay, then come here, I'm in box 1107. ”

Zhong Li looked at his handsome and thin side face, and silently chewed the asparagus in his mouth.

After a while, someone came to knock on the door, and Rong Ling went over to open the door.

It was a man in a suit who came in, looking like he was in his forties, with a thoughtful appearance and a kind smile, and a girl in full costume was holding her arm, it turned out to be Shu Ran.

It's just that at this moment, she is smiling like a flower, and the little bird is leaning on the man's arms, and she can't see the slightest shadow of being angry on the set.

Zhong Li remembered the rumor and said that she had an unspeakable relationship with the CEO of Changhe Group.

And this man?

"Let me introduce, this is the chairman of Changhe Group, Li Honglang. This is Zhong Li, actor. Rong Ling casually beckoned them to take a seat and introduced Zhong Li to them.

Zhong Li, who was named, looked over a little stiffly and said "Hello".

It was somewhat embarrassing to meet Shu Ran on this occasion.

Li Honglang was also looking at her, as if he couldn't figure out her identity, so he just nodded politely, complimented her on her beauty, and turned around and talked to Rong Ling with a smile.

The most complicated mood is Shu Ran, who secretly looked at her several times.

To be able to climb Li Honglang is already her best efforts, but she didn't expect this inconspicuous little girl to be more capable than her.

She had seen this Mr. Rong from afar at the reception before, it was said that he was a big man from the capital, and his background was very deep.

Later, I unintentionally asked Li Honglang, knowing what level of characters this master usually interacted with, I couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and I felt that I shouldn't judge people by their appearance.

Although Rong Ling and Li Honglang were chatting, it was not something that Zhong Li and Shu Ran could understand, both of them felt bored, one lowered his head to eat, and the other silently played with his mobile phone.

When she left that day, Shuran quietly asked for her contact information, saying that she could come out to play together when she was free in the future.

Zhong Li was a little stunned at the time, but only realized afterwards that she might feel that she and Rong Ling were not in an ordinary relationship, so she looked up to her and was willing to play with her.

Sure enough, the connections and resources ...... It's really important in this circle.

Xiaohua, who was cold to her one second and wouldn't even look at her more, would smile and ask her for phone calls and WeChat like best friends the next second.

-

It's already mid-December when I returned to Beijing.

Zhong Li received two payments, she clasped her hands together and shouted "Amitabha", and this year can finally be well lived.

"You shout 'Amen' for a while, and 'Amitabha' for a while, you are not sincere at all, I am the Buddha, and I will not bless you." Yang Jue came out of the room and teased her.

Zhong Li said unconvinced: "You are not a Buddha, how do you know that the Buddha does not bless me?" ”

Yang Jue: "I just know." ”

"You Are My Youth" was broadcast at the end of the year, and the response was good, and Shu Ran's popularity skyrocketed, including a certain book, a certain station and several forums were hotly discussed, and the CP between her and the actor Xing Yue was in full swing.

During the interview, Shuran Xiaoniao leaned on Xing Yue's arms to show her affection, implying that this was her ideal type in the future.

Xing Yue smiled brightly, full of the appearance of a young boy who was about to fall in love, and the crew seemed to be two people who were angry at Shuran and looked at each other unpleasantly.

Zhong Li sighed again, sure enough, popular artists all have two brushes.

True or false, false or false, who knows.

After eating, she held a hot water bottle and read a book in the room for a while, and couldn't help but take out her mobile phone and flip to the WeChat circle of friends.

Rong Ling's circle of friends is very simple, no, it should be empty.

If it weren't for the "goodbye" sent to him that day, she would have thought that she had been blocked by him.

He should be very busy, and he doesn't post on Moments.

This number was added when they were separated in Ning City before, and she asked him to buy a cup of milk tea for her, and then used the excuse of transferring it to him.

Who knew that after hearing this, he smiled and joked that he had rubbed him for so many meals and didn't see her to invite him back, but a cup of milk tea was so attentive?

A pair of lazy and deep eyes looked at her with a smile, like still water without waves, so that her little caution could not be hidden.

She blushed at what he said, and said stubbornly: "I'll invite you to dinner when I go back to Beijing." ”

He also smiled and said yes.

Zhong Li cut to his circle of friends, two a day is less, and all trivial things have to be sent out, with all kinds of emojis and photos, it is really naïve to compare.

She was silent for a while, quietly deleted two, and after a while, simply set it to "only visible for three days".

She sighed and threw herself back on the bed, inexplicably a little irritated.
