After Wen Huaihe received Ji Yuan's call, even the progress of the meeting was accelerated, and the routine meeting was directly shortened from two hours to one hour.
At around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Ji Yuan appeared at the door of Wen Huaihe's office wearing a new dress and a short coat.
"Mr. Wen, Madam is here." There was a knock on the office door, and Ji Yuan walked in from behind the assistant.
"Busy?"
Seeing Ji Yuan, Wen Huaihe stood up from his office chair, and closed the annual plans sent by various departments of the company.
"It's not very important. Xiao Chen makes two cups of coffee."
"No need to call, I've already asked him to prepare it." Ji Yuan put the handbag on the glass table, "Why didn't the public opinion on the Internet tell me?"
"Ham, what kind of public opinion is that? It's just that mu is making trouble. I made a special trip, isn't it just for this?"
"Yes and no." Ji Yuan sighed, "This matter is related to me, you don't need to hide it from me."
Wen's company is involved in many fields, and it also has two luxury brands, jewelry and watches. The best jewelry ever sold was also designed by Ji Yuan.
She majored in jewelry design in college, and later went to the Wenjia subsidiary as an intern, met the prince Wen Huaihe, the two fell in love freely, and soon got married and had children.
After marriage, Ji Yuan still works in the company. In the year she was pregnant with Xing Xing, Ji Yuan's design won an international award and was called the design with the happiest feeling.
For five consecutive years, she has been the most sought after jewelry designer in China. Since Xing Xing's accident, Ji Yuan resigned from the company, and even drew fewer and fewer design drawings.
But she still designs one or two pieces of jewelry every year, but they are no longer the most popular styles.
Just a few days ago, Mu's new jewelry was launched, somehow it was used by the marketing account to compare it with Lulu under Wenjia, and then the most popular jewelry designer of the year - Ji.
Many new designers, as long as they have one or two famous works, they will be compared with Ji Yuan's previous designs.
Ji Yuan has read the comments on the Internet, some of them are ugly, and some feel sorry for her.
[Ji's inspiration has disappeared, right? What a design these years.][Flash in the pan, how many designers can always shine.]
[Don't say that Lulu's designs have become less and less tasteful in recent years, whether it's jewelry, watches or bags.][I agree, Lulu is indeed not as good as she was back then]
[I used to buy new models from Lulu's house. Now I have turned to mu, this time the new one is really nice. ] If it was before, Ji Yuan would definitely be sad seeing these comments, but since Xing Xing left, it seems that nothing can hurt her anymore.
Ji Yuan took out the tablet from his bag and handed it to Wen Huaihe, "I haven't shown the watch design to anyone else yet."
Not jewelry design, but watch design.
The dial is a starry sky pattern, a crescent moon hangs in the blue sky, and a few stars are dotted around it.
Wen Huaihe raised his head in astonishment, "When did you start painting?"
No wonder he was so surprised, he was busy a year ago, but during the Spring Festival, the eldest son Wen Zheng proposed to travel abroad, and the whole family went abroad to relax, Ji Yuan probably didn't have time to complete the design drawings.
"Not a recent design."
"That was years ago?" Wen Huaihe thought for a while, years ago there were many things in the company, and he came home late, as if he really didn't notice what Ji Yuan was doing. "It's beautiful! My wife is amazing."
"Drawn fourteen years ago."
As soon as Ji Yuan's words came out, Wen Huaihe fell into silence.
"Slight changes were made a year ago." Ji Yuan added.
She first drew the design of the watch, not to design a new product for sale, and this watch is just a children's watch.
A few months ago, he dug out this design drawing from the storage box, so he started to modify it. Except for the change in the appearance design, the starry sky pattern has not changed.
"You..." Wen Huaihe opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"It was originally a sixth birthday present for the stars."
Ji Yuan lowered her eyelashes, for more than ten years, she has been able to calmly mention this matter.
"Huaihe, do you know?" Ji Yuan raised his eyelids, his eyes were light, "I dreamed of the stars yesterday."
Ji Yuan hasn't had a dream for a long time, and in the months when her youngest son just lost, she had nightmares every day and night.
Dreamed that the stars disappeared under her nose, dreamed that someone took the stars away in front of her, dreamed that someone blocked the stars and refused to let him go home.
She took sleeping pills and sedatives, but nothing worked. No one can understand the pain and self-blame of a mother who lost her child.
Later, she rarely dreamed of the scene when the stars disappeared. But what made it even more difficult for her to accept was that the star in her dream was walking alone in the street, her helpless appearance made her feel very distressed.
Ji Yuan envies those parents who can watch their children grow up with their own eyes, but she can only see the stars occasionally in the middle of the night.
She didn't know if Xing Xing would be able to eat enough outside, would she be cold? Did anyone bully him? When he is afraid, is there someone with him
Ji Yuan thought so much that for a while she didn't dare to go out at all, and didn't dare to look at the parents with their children on the road.
When Ji Yuan gradually calmed down, she began to assist Wen Huaihe to investigate the events of that year, and even recalled over and over again, whether there was anything that was missed.
Wen Huaihe felt sorry for her and didn't want her to torture herself like this.
A few years later, Ji Yuan rarely dreamed of stars. Because, she doesn't know what the stars look like? She couldn't imagine it.
She was afraid that one day the stars walked past her, but she failed to recognize her, then she must be the most incompetent mother in the world.
Therefore, every year on Xingxing’s birthday, Wen Huaihe will find a sketcher and ask him to draw the growth and changes of the stars every year based on the previous photos of the stars.
But Xing Xing was still too young at that time, and the sketch finally stayed at the age of twelve.
A trace of sadness flashed across Wen Huaihe's eyes, he collected himself and asked. "What did you dream about?"
"I dreamed about the stars and said that he was doing well, so don't worry." Ji Yuan was a little happy.
"For so many years, Xing Xing was the first time to report my safety. He was not angry, nor ignored me, and comforted me not to be sad."
"Xing Xing said that he is also looking for us."
Ji Yuan sniffed, "Xing Xing's birthday is coming soon, and this birthday present, which is so long overdue, should be given out."
Wen Huaihe didn't know what to say for a while, she patted Ji Yuan's shoulder comfortingly, and sat closer to her.
"Are you planning to launch a new style on Xingxing's birthday?"
Ji Yuan nodded, "Advertising, but not selling. I want to give Xingxing a gift when he gets home, a gift that belongs only to him."
"it is good."
Wen Huaihe was responsive to Ji Yuan's requests, and he would unconditionally agree to any request from Ji Yuan, not to mention that this matter was also related to his youngest son.
"I will ask the public relations department to issue a statement as soon as possible. Those trolls on the Internet should be hired by mu. The marketing is not enough, and they want to push Lulu to the top. Such a big ambition."
＊＊＊
After the play.
Le Hanfei found Lu Wenxing and told him the results of the company's investigation.
"As I guessed, the trending article about you was indeed aimed at me." Le Hanfei explained, "There have been such cases before, on the surface, they were complaining for me, and Lata and I have a competitive relationship. Artists, but in fact it is to promote hatred."
Only the person involved will know that there is no inside story about the audition, but before the official announcement of the casting, the outside world does not know. Le Hanfei has many fans and is more famous than Lu Wenxing. Compared with Lu Wenxing, netizens will be used as guns.
They aimed at Lu Wenxing, the worse they scolded before, when the truth is revealed later, people will scold Le Hanfei in turn, saying that he touches porcelain everywhere, and the netizens will be angry because they have been deceived, which will corrupt Le Hanfei popularity.
"It's easy to find out the IP, and I can hand it over to the public relations. After the company clarifies, I will post a Weibo to clarify." Le Hanfei finished speaking, and then said to Lu Wenxing.
"Also, this time it's not just targeting me. The agent told me that he also found another group of people taking the opportunity to lead the rhythm. This may be aimed at you."
On the day of the trending search on Luwenxing, Le Hanfei had already spent money to remove the fake trending search.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome, it was originally because of me, otherwise that wave of people wouldn't have found a chance to lead the rhythm."
"Thank you anyway."
What else did Le Hanfei want to say, but Gu Yanshen had already changed his costume and came over, "Are you two done with your politeness?"
Lu Wenxing: "... almost."
Le Hanfei: "..."
"I heard just now that the two of you are going to eat secretly." Song Jiajia also had a night show, and she was still wearing costumes when she walked over.
Le Hanfei's eyes lit up instantly, "Where are we going to eat?"
"Comrade Xiao Le, you want to shoot a night scene with me tonight." Song Jiajia ruthlessly broke his expectations.
"Oh." Le Hanfei's eyes dimmed instantly, "I want to eat seafood."
Lu Wenxing:
Le Hanfei suddenly pulled Lu Wenxing's arm, "Help me eat more."
Lu Wenxing: "..."
Lu Wenxing looked at Le Hanfei's pitiful eyes and said helplessly. "How about I come back and bring it to you?"
"Xing Xing, you are such a good person."
Lu Wenxing withdrew his hand forcefully: "..."
Not necessarily, really.
"Me, I want it too." Song Jiajia raised her hand and said, "I want Wufumen's Xiaolongbao and Xiaotian's spicy chicken."
One of these two places is in the east and the other is in the west. Gu Yan heard the veins on his forehead twitch deeply.
"Aren't you afraid of getting fat and running laps?"
Song Jiajia: "..." Saying something once is enough.
Seeing that Song Jiajia's mood became depressed at a speed visible to the naked eye, Lu Wenxing said hastily, "Eat seafood? Seafood won't make you fat."
Under the envious eyes of the rest of the crew, the entertainers who had no night show left with their own plans, leaving the rest of them eating boxed lunches with different ideas.
Lu Wenxing booked a seat in advance, and took Gu Yanshen straight to the destination.
"After booking the table, I realized that I should ask Mr. Gu what he wants to eat first?"
Gu Yanshen said, "I don't choose."
Generally speaking, unless there are many people eating hot pot, it is rare to book a box, but Gu Yanshen and Lu Wenxing have special identities, sitting in the lobby is too noticeable.
"I feel that Mr. Gu doesn't like spicy food, so I ordered the mandarin duck pot."
On the way, Gu Yanshen answered a phone call from Qin Yu.
"I found it, how can I thank me?"
Without waiting for Gu Yanshen to say anything, Qin Yu said happily, "After "Hundred Ghosts" is broadcast, give me two more points? How can I say that I am also a big investor."
"goodbye."
"Don't, don't! Just kidding." Qin Yu said bitterly, "We have known each other for seven or eight years, and we still can't match that later kid, you hurt brother's heart very much."
Gu Yanshen was too lazy to emphasize to Qin Yu that Lu Wenxing was not a child, so he skipped useless topics and asked directly.
"Who did you find out?"
"Jiang Zhengqin. You may not recognize him, but he is the casting director of a small crew. Didn't your kid never take the role? Why did he offend the director?"
"Thank you." Gu Yanshen was about to hang up the phone after speaking, Qin Yu seemed to know what he was going to do, and said again immediately. "Don't hang up! I haven't eaten yet, why don't you express it?"
"I'm eating."
"It's only less than six o'clock, you eat so early?"
Gu Yan gave a deep chuckle, years of tacit understanding made Qin Yu immediately react, and he cursed 'fuck' in a low voice.
"With your children?"
Qin Yu's misunderstanding of Lu Wenxing was serious. After knowing that Gu Yanshen wanted to bring someone to audition, he mistakenly thought that Gu Yanshen's iron tree was blossoming and finally had his first love.
It's not that Gu Yanshen didn't recommend other people before. He is very serious about filming, and he will quietly help artists who are talented or hardworking enough, but they won't let the parties know.
When Qin Yu first found out that Gu Yanshen was helping a certain artist, he thought that Gu Yanshen was interested in that person, but Gu Yanshen denied it before he asked.
After several times like this, Qin Yu also believed that Gu Yanshen probably only focused on filming.
but…
For Lu Wenxing.
Qin Yu didn't think about it at first, but this time Gu Yanshen didn't help secretly, but found the person to send out an invitation, and he didn't give up after being rejected, which made it hard for Qin Yu not to think too much.
Moreover, Qin Yu deliberately mentioned 'your little friend' in front of Gu Yanshen several times.
Gu Yanshen didn't have the slightest intention to explain.
"You won't be serious, will you?"
Gu Yanshen didn't answer his words, "I'm eating hot pot, so let's do this first."
"What's so great about eating hot pot? If you don't know, you might think you're having a big meal."
Before Qin Yu finished speaking, Gu Yanshen hung up the phone.
Lu Wenxing was holding a piece of duck blood, his lips were red from the spicy oil, and beads of sweat were dripping from the tip of his tall and delicate nose.
He eats slowly, but watching it for a long time will only make people feel elegant, and his appetite will also increase.
Seeing that Gu Yanshen finished the phone call, Lu Wenxing pointed to the fat beef roll on the empty plate.
"I use serving chopsticks to pick it up. If it's too ripe, it won't taste good."
"thanks."
Gu Yanshen ate all the fat beef rolls that Lu Wenxing gave him, looked at Lu Wenxing who was still fishing for shrimp, and asked, "Do you know Jiang Zhengqin?"
Lu Wenxing's fingers snapped, "I know, what's wrong?"
"I checked those people with rhythm, and they are related to Jiang Zhengqin."
Jiang Zhengqin was the casting director who was beaten by Lu Wenxing. A few months ago, Wang Man was deceiving Lu Wenxing to attend the company celebration, but actually planned to push Lu Wenxing to Jiang Zhengqin.
With Lu Wenxing's reluctance, Jiang Zhengqin pestered him again and again. Lu Wenxing had a low fever that day and was in a daze, so he could only injure Jiang Zhengqin and escape in the chaos.
He didn't expect Jiang Zhengqin to deliberately take revenge, but he didn't need to guess and knew that this would not be the masterpiece of Jiang Zhengqin alone.
Mang Orange Entertainment had long wanted to curry favor with Jiang Zhengqin, but the twists and turns were not so simple to explain. Jiang Zhengqin wanted to vent his anger on him, and Mang Orange Entertainment followed suit to help.
Hearing what Gu Yanshen said, Lu Wenxing was surprised. But what surprised me was not that this matter was related to Jiang Zhengqin, but that Gu Yanshen directly helped him investigate without saying a word.
"Teacher Gu is so troublesome, I suddenly feel that just asking for a meal is not enough to express my sincerity."
Gu Yanshen couldn't help laughing, he thought that Lu Wenxing would get angry or show dissatisfaction because of this incident, but he never thought that Lu Wenxing's focus was on this.
"If you need help, you can say it."
He didn't give Lu Wenxing any advice, and he didn't plan to fight back for him. How to deal with it was Lu Wenxing's business. Unless Lu Wenxing asked him for help, he wouldn't overdo it.
"It's enough for Teacher Gu to help me here, and I can handle the rest by myself." After Lu Wenxing finished speaking, he said half-jokingly, "Why don't I treat Teacher Gu to dinner again when I have time?"
Gu Yanshen was amused by Lu Wenxing's joke, and said it cooperatively.
"Okay, I'm looking forward to it."
After the two finished the hot pot, Gu Yanshen accompanied Lu Wenxing to pack a supper for Le Hanfei and Song Jiajia. After returning to the hotel, the two received a good person card.
Song Jiajia glanced at Gu Yanshen who said she was 'fat', then turned to Lu Wenxing and said, "Thank you Xing Xing, I love Xing Xing."
"Thank you Xing Xing, thank you Teacher Gu." Le Hanfei followed suit.
"Isn't that the young master of the Wen family?"
"It's really him?"
"The Xia family has some skills, they can even invite the Wen family."
Wen Zheng was wearing a haute couture suit and ignored the gossip. He was sitting on the sofa with a glass of wine in his hand, looking a little isolated from the world.
The Xia family is actually an upstart, not on the same level as the Wen family, but Wen Zheng came to the reception because he found new clues.
In the donation list of the orphanage that year, the Xia family donated a considerable amount.
From Wen Zheng's investigation, the Xia family was not as rich as it is now, which is very interesting.
Where did the Xia family, which was not considered an upstart back then, get so much money and generously donate it to the orphanage
When Mr. Xia sent the invitation letter to Wen's family, he didn't really think that the other party could come, but he just invited him politely, it doesn't matter whether he comes or not. But when Wen Zheng really appeared, he was also taken aback.
"You young people talk a lot, go get close with Wen Zheng." Boss Xia gave his son a push.
"Dad, this is too difficult for me. Wen Zheng is different from us young people. Besides, if I go, he may not talk to me."
"Go and try, if it doesn't work, don't bother me. If Wen Zheng can do you a favor, at least we have to treat him well."
Xia Zongqi couldn't hold back his father, so he had no choice but to greet him with a glass of wine, "Mr. Wen, do you mind my interruption?"
Wen Zheng raised his chin and signaled Xia Zongqi to sit down. Of course he didn't mind if he could use the opportunity to get clues.
"The reception was well organized."
Xia Zongqi didn't know how to answer the question immediately, Wen Zheng had attended so many high-end receptions, did these words have other meanings
You can't really just talk about the reception, can you
Xia Zongqi: "It is the Xia family's honor to be rewarded by Mr. Wen."
Wen Zheng was calm and relaxed, he was not in a hurry to say something, he shook his wine glass, and clinked glasses with Xia Zongqi in the air, he couldn't act too hastily, and he would not be wary if he proceeded step by step.
— bang.
At a long table not far away, wine glasses were scattered all over the floor, making crisp noises, and wine, desserts, fruits and vegetables were scattered all over the floor.
Wen Zheng frowned, Xia Zongqi immediately stood up.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Wen. I didn't expect such an accident to disturb your interest. I'll go and see what's going on."
Wen Zheng also walked over, Xia Zongqi's voice was full of anger, "What's going on?"
Surrounded in the middle were a handsome young man and a middle-aged man in a suit.
"Sorry, this person has been pestering me, I can't get rid of it..."
"You are talking nonsense." The young man's face turned white and red, obviously angry and a little bit ashamed. "That's not the case. He pestered me and forced me. I bumped into the table just to get away from him."
"Heh. Wearing such cheap clothes and coming to this kind of reception, anyone with a discerning eye can tell what's going on." The middle-aged man sneered.
"I'm not." The young man was anxious to defend himself, seeing everyone's disdainful eyes, he couldn't help but panic. "I am an artist, and this person told me that he is a director, he thought I was pretty good and wanted to give me a chance to audition."
"I believed it just now, but I didn't realize it was wrong when he made a move on me. What I said was true, and he gave me my business card."
The young man hurriedly took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to everyone.
"If I pestered him, why would his business card be on me."
Wen Zheng frowned, and his eyes fell on the business card.
—Jiang Zhengqin.
very good.
Forget about disturbing him, but dare to beat him up when forcing others, what a scumbag.
Wen Zheng sneered in his heart, and returned Jiang Zhengqin's slanderous words to him in front of everyone.
"Then what is your purpose of showing up here in such a cheap suit?"
The author has something to say: Let my brother be handsome.
