Arriving at the door of the dressing room, Candy asked Luo Xiaoxi to go in by herself. She had other things to deal with.
Luo Xiaoxi nodded and opened the door of the dressing room. In an instant, the entire dressing room fell silent. Several eyes were cast towards her, some with disdain, some with inquiry, and some with disbelief.
"You still have the nerve to compete." A girl spat while stroking her eyebrows, "I thought that winning the championship was really based on strength, but I didn't expect... Ha!"
This was probably what everyone was thinking. The young girls looked at Luo Xiaoxi, waiting for her to react.
Luo Xiaoxi would never dodge verbal provocation.
She walked straight over, put one hand on the girl's dressing table, and looked in the mirror at the girl whose name she couldn't even remember, "You are particularly upset with me now, aren't you? Let me tell you, not only the weekly champion, but also the general The championship is also mine. With this passage, you can break the news to the media. In this way, tomorrow's headlines will be mine again."
"You!" The girl obviously didn't expect Luo Xiaoxi to be so confident. She stared at her, but couldn't say "you" for a long time.
Luo Xiaoxi patted her shoulder comfortingly, "Also, don't worry about it. It's very likely that you will be eliminated this time. If you care about me, it's better to worry about yourself."
"Luo Xiaoxi!" The girl slapped the eyebrow pencil on the makeup table, "Don't go too far!"
"Am I going too far?" Luo Xiaoxi blinked, "You started greeting me first. I remind you that you are about to be kicked out. It's obviously out of kindness, okay?"
"Luo Xiaoxi! You!"
The girl was completely speechless. Luo Xiaoxi raised a smile that would make you angry, and walked to her makeup station. The makeup artist and stylist immediately came over to do her makeup and styling.
Although the company does not allocate her a dedicated makeup artist, she will be assigned a makeup artist whenever work requires her, and she is still a very famous one in the industry.
Just because the company paid attention to this, she was already ahead of other contestants, and it was inevitable that she would be jealous.
The competition started soon, and the contestants who finished the show would go to the back to watch the live broadcast. Soon there were only a few contestants left in the dressing room.
A girl walked up to Luo Xiaoxi and said, "I believe you."
Luo Xiaoxi turned her head and looked over in surprise, vaguely remembering that she helped the girl up when she was about to fall last time, and she also said that if they became rivals in the future and could only go in two, she would let her.
She didn't need anyone to give in, but this girl's belief really warmed her heart.
"Thank you." After a pause, Luo Xiaoxi said again, "Come on."
The girl nodded and walked out. Luo Xiaoxi was next, and she began to prepare.
Not long after, the host called Luo Xiaoxi's name, the music started, she adjusted her breathing, and walked out with her head held high and her head held high with standard steps.
Compared to before, her expression was more arrogant, even a bit more scornful and indifferent. Strangely, the more she looked like this, the more pleasing it was to the eyes, as if she was born to be so aloof.
When turning around, Luo Xiaoxi glanced at the spot where Su Yicheng used to sit, and there was another person she didn't recognize sitting there.
Because going to the ancient town delayed too much work, Su Yicheng had to work overtime tonight. He had already told her that he wouldn't be able to come today, but he still felt a little disappointed.
He had been watching her from that position for so many games.
She was surrounded by scandals this week, and it was when she needed Su Yicheng the most, but he couldn't come.
…
Luo Xiaoxi has received professional training. No matter how disappointed she is, she can still do her job on the surface perfectly.
After the show and a brief interview with the host, Candy and I took our mobile phones and walked to Tai's lounge.
On the way, the phone in her palm vibrated slightly, and she glanced at it casually. It was a text message from Su Yicheng.
—Your dress is beautiful today.
Did he watch the live broadcast
Before Luo Xiaoxi could recover from the surprise, Su Yicheng's second message came in again - finish and go home and wait for me.
The corners of her lips raised slightly, her unconcealed joy revealed, and she opened the door and walked into the lounge while lowering her head to reply to the message.
Suddenly, everyone in the room focused their attention on her again.
Luo Xiaoxi knew what they were thinking.
If the scandal hadn't broken out about her, there would have been no doubt that she would be the winner this week.
But now the situation has changed. She has been involved in scandals. In the audience voting process, she may not be able to get the support of big votes as easily as before.
"Today, some people are afraid that they won't be as proud as in the past few games, right?" The girl who had yelled at Luo Xiaoxi before the game started was provocative again, "This week, I really can't say who will win the championship. "
"Anyway, it won't fall into your family." Luo Xiaoxi chuckled, with her usual disdain in her tone, "But the one who will be eliminated this time... I'm sure it's you."
Unexpectedly, the girl was not panicked at all, as if whether she was eliminated or promoted this time had no impact on her at all.
A little strange.
But Luo Xiaoxi was too lazy to think so much, so she sat down in an empty seat and waited for the remaining contestants to finish the show.
Fifteen minutes later, it was time to announce the results.
The professional judges still gave Luo Xiaoxi a very high score, but she lost the support of most of the audience. Her vote was dismal, which directly affected the overall score. She ranked third in the week, but she was still in the lead in the overall ranking.
The person who won the weekly championship this week was Li Yingyuan, the "thousand-year old number two" who has always been left behind by Luo Xiaoxi.
Li Yingyuan excitedly hugged the host and the contestants around her, and gave a very touching acceptance speech. Her eyes were slightly moist when she said the emotional part. The audience cheered to support her, and she bowed very well to thank everyone for their support.
Others congratulated Li Yingyuan one after another. Luo Xiaoxi's expression remained calm, with an unknown emotion flowing in her eyes.
Ranked second is Li Yingyuan. If she loses again in the next few knockout games, the championship will fall to Li Yingyuan in an upset.
Therefore, she is surrounded by scandals, and the person who benefits the most is Li Yingyuan.
So, could that post on the Internet also be related to Li Yingyuan? Or... Zhang Mei can't escape the involvement
After the live broadcast, Luo Xiaoxi changed her clothes and got into Candy's car. Candy patted her shoulder and said, "Don't be sad, you are still number one in the overall ranking. Besides, we will have a chance next week."
"I'm fine." Luo Xiaoxi smiled and said, "Send me to Su Yicheng's place."
Candy clicked, "It's so straightforward. But... are you really okay?"
Luo Xiaoxi nodded affirmatively.
She had been mentally prepared a few days ago, knowing that she would miss out on this week's championship, so the shock was not too big for her.
Candy started the car with confidence and drove Luo Xiaoxi to Su Yicheng's apartment.
It was dark outside the car window. When passing by a commercial street, the lights on both sides of the road passed by the car from time to time. Luo Xiaoxi suddenly felt a little tired, so she closed the car curtains, lowered the seat and lay down to rest.
She missed a picture outside the car window—
Zhang Mei stood in front of a large hotel. She crossed her arms and paced back and forth, but did not enter the hotel. She just looked inside the hotel from time to time, as if waiting for someone to come out.
After a while, Luo's father and several middle-aged men walked out of it chatting and laughing. Zhang Mei greeted him, "Mr. Luo."
Zhang Mei is young and beautiful, waiting here in the middle of the night, and her goal is so clear. The middle-aged men walking with her all cast ambiguous glances at Luo's father. Zhang Mei quickly relieved the embarrassment -
She stretched out her hand towards Luo's father, "Hello, I am Zhang Mei from XX Investment Co., Ltd., I..."
In a few words, Zhang Mei made it clear that she was here to do business, and the others also lost interest and left one after another.
Father Luo then looked at Zhang Mei in confusion, "I have never heard of the investment company you mentioned. Moreover, you have not made an appointment with me before."
"Of course not, because this company doesn't exist at all." Zhang Mei smiled, her businesslike attitude disappearing, "I came to you because of your daughter's affairs."
It was about Luo Xiaoxi. Luo's father's eyes suddenly turned cold and serious, "What do you want to say to me?"
"Two months ago, Luo Xiaoxi was suspected of leaking commercial secrets of Chengan Group. This Sunday, Luo Xiaoxi's unspoken scandal broke out..." Zhang Mei detailed what happened to Luo Xiaoxi during these days, and then curled her lips and smiled, "Do you want to know who did these things?"
Dad Luo instinctively thought that Zhang Mei came to make a deal with him with materials, so he led her into the nearby coffee shop and said bluntly, "Tell me, how much do you want?"
"I can tell you these inside stories without paying a cent," Zhang Mei said.
Dad Luo is a businessman. In the mall, he always puts interests first.
Therefore, he does not believe that there is a free lunch in the world.
He looked at Zhang Mei, his eyes gradually becoming wary and dangerous...
Zhang Mei lightly opened her red lips and uttered five words: "I did it all."
“…”
After listening to Zhang Mei's words, Luo's father flipped the coffee cup onto the cup holder with a bang, got up and left the cafe with a cold snort, taking out his mobile phone.
But after finding Luo Xiaoxi's number, he hesitated.
Forget it, just give her one last night.
Compared with Father Luo who was furious, Zhang Mei seemed much more relaxed. She glanced at Father Luo's back, took a sip of coffee, and raised a slight smile on her lips, but it was no longer as elegant as before. Instead, she only reminded people of " The word "ferocious".
She left the whole matter to Luo's father, but she didn't believe that he would not interfere with Su Yicheng and Luo Xiaoxi.
Luo Xiaoxi didn't know anything, let alone what fate had arranged for her next.
She stayed in Su Yicheng's apartment with peace of mind, watching movies and waiting for Su Yicheng to come back.
When it was almost twelve o'clock, the door clicked open, and not long after, Su Yicheng's slender figure appeared at the other end of the living room. He looked tired and held a file bag in his hand.
"Back." Luo Xiaoxi came up to meet her. Su Yicheng handed her the document bag. She was a little confused, "What?"
"See for yourself." Su Yicheng looked at Luo Xiaoxi's pajamas and said casually.
Luo Xiaoxi became more and more curious. She opened the seal and poured out the contents. It turned out to be a stack of photos.
They were all taken between her and Su Yicheng in the ancient town. Most of them were group photos. There were also a few photos of her alone, either taken by Su Yicheng for her or secretly taken by himself.
She looked at them one by one, and finally asked Su Yicheng in confusion, "Why did you develop the photos?"
She raised her eyes to look at him, only to find that his eyes were lingering on her...
As soon as she came back, she took off her makeup and took a shower. She was wearing a lotus pink pajamas...
A rare unnatural look flashed across Luo Xiaoxi's face, "What's so good about it? It's not like I haven't worn this before..."
Su Yicheng raised his eyebrows, and there was a sinister look in his eyes, "I thought last time... it was broken." (To be continued)
