Chapter 89

Views:

Yang Xiao didn't expect that Xing Fei would give her a slap in the face when the two of them met again.

And to be honest, in the face of such a generous sponsor, Yang Xiao did not have the confidence to believe that Zhou Hui would favor him.

If the sponsor's father insists on removing her as a small director, will Zhou Hui really stand on his side

Just when she was thinking about the countermeasures quickly in her mind, the man standing in front of her suddenly laughed.

"Ha, Yang Xiao, there really should be a mirror in front of you to show you your current expression." Xing Fei shrugged his shoulders in a very American, pretentious, and exaggerated manner, and joked, "Boom, are you scared? Did you jump?"

Yang Xiao: "…"

joke? Does he call this a joke

Yang Xiao showed an embarrassed yet polite smile: "... Indeed, it surprised me."

After not seeing him for so long, Xing Fei is getting more and more annoying.

Yang Xiao wanted to ignore the past relationship between the two, so he said rusty and politely: "Mr. Xing, is your time convenient now? I will show you our studio in a while."

It's a pity that Xing Fei didn't buy her account, and said bluntly: "'You'? I don't think our relationship needs to be so unfamiliar."

Yang Xiao insisted on using the honorific title: "You are an investor, and you should be polite to you."

"Then now, the investor asks you to call me by my name."

Yang Xiao should not, just stared at him with a pair of eyes.

Xing Fei said: "Yang Xiao, Yang Xiao, you really surprised me. The first time I saw you, you were a young intern in a news channel, and now you have come to satellite TV. When I saw you just now, Really surprised."

Yang Xiao is very modest: "It's also a chance meeting, it's not enough to talk about. President Xing, I think it's getting late. You should have work later, right? I think we will visit as soon as possible, so as not to delay your future work."

After she finished speaking, she took the lead, regardless of whether Xing Fei followed or not.

Xing Fei looked at her distant back, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were full of hatred.

Yang Xiao, Yang Xiao, how could he forget this girl who gave him his first taste of defeat

Xing Fei has never been short of women. For him, women are like flying fireflies, but they are attracted to his money, but they are packaged in the name of love. After meeting Yang Xiao, this passionate and charming girl gradually came into his heart. Although she was from ordinary background and her parents were state-owned factory cadres who were incompetent, he didn't mind.

So he condescended to propose to her, but she actually rejected him!

The reason is especially ridiculous. She actually said that she would never accept getting pregnant before getting married, and getting a marriage certificate after giving birth to a son!

It's really inexplicable, isn't the role of a woman to inherit the lineage? Who asked her to wear a condom when she went to bed? He didn't even know if she had the ability to get pregnant. How could he marry a hen that couldn't lay eggs home

As for getting a certificate after giving birth to a son... This is more normal! Without a son, who will inherit his estate

Of course, he will be a father who loves his daughter very much. No matter how many daughters he has, he will definitely hold them in the palm of his hand, wear splendid clothes and food, take them to travel around the world, and when they grow up, buy them a car, buy a house, buy a dowry, and then find a fast-paced son-in-law to marry... This Absolutely the most perfect life for a girl in her life.

As for academics... career... girls are of course smarter, but they don't need to be too smart.

He thought that someone like Yang Xiao was too smart.

In her head, she filled up the idea of "women should be self-improvement", and she actually rejected his marriage proposal! This is totally smart but being misunderstood by smart!

She is so hard working as a reporter and can't make a lot of money, so she should get married earlier, be a full-time wife, and have nothing to do to drink tea and buy bags with other wives, isn't it good

When Yang Xiao broke up with him, Xing Fei didn't take it seriously. After all, those women in his past also liked to take breaking up as a mantra, and the purpose was just to get a few more bags and a few diamonds from his hand.

But Xing Fei did not expect that Yang Xiao would go so decisively.

The day after Yang Xiao proposed to break up, she moved out of the villa without taking any of those expensive jewelry, clothes and bags.

He waited for her to change her mind, and when she came back crying and begging him... But in the end, he disappeared from his life.

ridiculous!

This is the first time Xing Fei has tasted a defeat, which makes him unforgettable—hate is unforgettable.

Unexpectedly, he went around and met her again, and this time, he would never let go again.

Yang Xiao didn't know the dangerous thoughts in Xing Fei's head.

He took Xing Fei and his party to visit the studio under construction, and he followed one word from beginning to end—official business.

She didn't look at Xing Fei, always stayed one meter away from him, introduced the studio in the most concise words, and answered his questions.

At the very beginning, Xing Fei did ask a few questions related to the show, but as he asked, the content shifted to other places.

He asked directly, "Yang Xiao, are you still single?"

Yang Xiao also answered directly: "No, my boyfriend and I have a very stable relationship. We met our parents during the Spring Festival and got engaged."

She thought to herself that since she took the cypress branch, it meant she was engaged.

Xing Fei glanced at her finger with a half-smiling smile: "But you don't have a ring. Why, that man is so poor that he can't even buy a ring for you?"

Speaking of which, Meng Yufan and Yang Xiao have been together for so long, it seems that they have never given Yang Xiao a formal gift. On the other hand, Yang Xiao bought a lot of things for Meng Yufan, from the aj basketball shoes under her feet to the scarf around her neck. Yang Xiao tried her best to use the RMB she earned to decorate her boy into a Christmas tree that sparkled in the dark. .

However, Meng Yufan gave Yang Xiao something else. He gave her a cup of warm milk tea hidden in his arms, gave her a red leaf on the treetops in early autumn, gave her a little snowman that was not as big as a palm... He gave her countless kisses, and endless Love.

However, Yang Xiao naturally wouldn't tell Xing Fei this trash man.

She replied: "The workplace should be low-key, and the construction site is messy, and it is inconvenient to wear a ring."

Xing Fei snorted arrogantly.

Xing Fei asked, "Is the first episode going to be recorded this weekend?"

"Yes, the first and second episodes will be recorded together. It is expected to take two days to record. Next week, the film will be edited on weekdays, and the third and fourth episodes will be recorded on weekends. After all four episodes are cut, they will be sent to the stage for review. "

"Okay." Xing Fei said, "I will watch the recording this weekend."

Yang Xiao: "...Sorry, the show didn't invite the audience."

Xing Fei said: "I'm not an audience, I'm a sponsor. Believe it or not, I'll give Zhou Hui a call. Even if I bring a hundred people to the shed, she will make arrangements for me?"

"..." Yang Xiao had no choice but to acquiesce to his arrival.

Xing Fei walked to the entrance of the main stage, and saw a strange color flashed in his eyes when he saw the player exhibition boards stacked next to him.

Yang Xiao noticed that he was staring at Ding Man's photo.

Yang Xiao had never figured out the relationship between him and Ding Man. Now that he stopped, he asked, "I heard that Ding Man was recommended by you?"

"Yes." Xing Fei said in a relaxed tone, "I like basketball. I have a team and let them go out to play when I have nothing to do. I met Ding Man in a ball game. He is very capable and I like him. The energy on the field. Now many athletes, with that little annual salary, wait to die, spend a few years in the team, and have not even made a starter. It would be better if there were more people like Ding Man. already."

Yang Xiao frowned, she had seen Ding Man's game video.

Man Ding, as his name suggests, is like a mobile meat grinder on the field, without any scruples, rampaging. He weighs 110 kilograms and can bench press and lift as much as his weight. Relying on his strength, he often rams other players recklessly. Others were afraid of getting hurt and didn't dare to confront him, so he was invincible in the cba arena.

Yang Xiao hated his ball path. In comparison, Meng Yufan and Feng Xiang are much cleaner when they play. Although there will be physical collisions, they are all skillful, not so arrogant.

Xing Fei said that he liked Ding Man's style of play. Yang Xiao was very disgusted and said unintentionally, "Why haven't I heard you say you like basketball before?"

"Ha." Xing Fei smiled and glanced at her sideways, "Woman, there are still many things you don't know."

This sentence succeeded in disgusting Yang Xiao. If the disgust is divided into ten levels, Feng Xiang, who can't control her waistband and handing her the room card, belongs to the second level; Yu Huaibo, who has an affectionate face on more than 30 boats, is the eighth level; and the family has the throne waiting for her. Inherited overbearing president Xing Fei... Well, two hundred level.

Yang Xiao suppressed the nausea and said, "Sorry, I suddenly remembered that I still have something to deal with. I will ask other colleagues to show you around."

After speaking, she turned to leave.

"Yang Xiao!" Xing Fei suddenly grabbed her arm, so strong that she twisted her ankle and was pulled over by him.

Yang Xiao looked vigilant: "Is there anything else, Mr. Xing?"

"Of course." Xing Fei looked at her and squeezed her arm tightly with his fingers, "I want to see your fiancé."

Of course it was impossible for Yang Xiao, and he did not dare to let him see Meng Yufan.

If Xing Fei knew that her boyfriend was also on this show, who knew what would happen? Xing Fei looked at the dignified appearance, but in essence, he was nothing but a mad dog.

Yang Xiaoqiang calmed down and replied, "Seeing him? I don't think it's necessary."

"Oh? Maybe he wants to see me too." Xing Fei said playfully, "Which man wouldn't be curious about his woman's ex-boyfriend?"

"He won't." Yang Xiao said firmly, "Why would he want to see an old man who is not as young as him, not as handsome as him, and not as long in bed as him?"

Xing Fei's face instantly turned black.

Yang Xiao endured the pain, firmly took his arm from his palm, and said word by word, "Xing Fei, I'll tell you again, we're over - we're over long ago."

After escaping from the studio, Yang Xiao immediately rushed to the sink and carefully washed her hands several times. She rolled up her sleeves and saw that her arms were already red, maybe they would be green at night.

She cursed again and again in her heart, and the eight generations of Xing Fei's ancestors were cursed by her again and again.

She felt a headache and nausea when she thought that she would have to deal with Xing Fei from time to time during the three months of the show's recording. However, she couldn't directly mention this matter to Zhou Hui, for fear that her boss would think that she did not distinguish between public and private, and she was determined by her spirit... Forget it, don't think about it, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge.

She drove to the nearest jewelry store and picked out a simple small diamond ring for herself. It takes no more than three minutes from entering the store to paying by card.

She put it on her left middle finger and looked at the light—well, twinkle and sparkle, just right for an engagement ring.

But a girl like her who buys an engagement ring for herself is probably the only one in the world.

After the social animals go shopping, they still have to go back to the company to work overtime.

With the show approaching, there is only a lot of work. Colleagues are all fighting at night, so naturally she can't be a deserter. She went back to the TV station and was busy until the middle of the night. She really didn't have the energy to drive home. After thinking about it, she simply went to live in the apartment that Meng Yufan bought.

Although this house is under the name of Meng Yufan, he mostly lives in the school and can only escape one day a week to have a private meeting with Yang Xiao. This apartment building was bought next to the TV station. When Yang Xiao was too busy with work, she often stayed here alone. Her clothes, shoes, and cosmetics were moved over little by little, making this place gradually become another small nest for her. look like home.

Tiredly, she opened the door and entered the room, kicked off her high heels, dropped the bag with the laptop, and pressed the switch on the wall with a snap—"Ah!" Yang Xiao was startled, she never expected that another person would be sitting in the living room. people!

I saw Meng Yufan sitting on the sofa with his head down, silently, his clothes not taking off, his shoulders slumped down.

Like a dead mountain.

Yang Xiao keenly sensed something was wrong, hurried over immediately, squatted down, and looked at him.

From this angle, Meng Yufan's expression can be seen.

The expression on his face was complicated, dignified, angry, and dazed.

His eyes were slightly red, as if he had just cried.

Yang Xiao's heart tightened and he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

The boy's voice was low: "Xu Dong..."

"What happened to Xu Dong?"

"Xu Dong has an accident." Meng Yufan's voice was so soft that he couldn't hear it. "It was a wild ball incident. He is still in a coma in the hospital."

"!!!" Yang Xiao sucked in a breath of cold air.

Her feelings for Xu Dong are very complicated. On the one hand, she hates his behavior of trying to drag Meng Yufan into the water to play field ball. On the other hand, she feels that he is not bad in nature, but he went the wrong way to raise money.

"Do you know how it happened? Did you catch the murderer?"

Meng Yufan shook his head dejectedly: "There are no clues. The hospital 120 received an anonymous call. When they arrived, Xu Dong fell to the ground with no one around. It was so cold, and he was only wearing a suit. The basketball jersey, the contents of the bag are the same, the nose is bleeding all over the face, three fingers are broken, the brow bone is cracked, the bridge of the nose is severely cracked, and the congestion is serious. The doctor said that he was not sure what was smashed. But we know - Someone hit him in the face with the ball, and he blocked it."

Fortunately, Xu Dong was good at blocking it, otherwise his injury would only be more serious.

Yang Xiao asked incredulously, "Can basketball cause such a serious injury?"

"Well." Meng Yufan said with a wry smile, "It's hard to imagine, isn't it? An inflatable ball can actually cause so much damage... In fact, the offensive power of basketball is terrifying. Basketball' is proud."

The so-called smashing of the backboard refers to the fact that the basketball hits the basket when a basketball player takes off for a dunk, causing the plexiglass of the entire backboard to be completely shattered.

Shaquille O'Neal, the big shark in the NBA, smashed the backboard many times, and even used his terrifying weight to directly pull the backboard down, and the entire metal arm was bent.

Of course, there has not been such a powerful player in the domestic CBA for the time being, but this is enough to prove how powerful basketball is.

An inflatable ball can even shatter a plexiglass plate, let alone a human skull

Yang Xiao's teeth chattered.

A living person who she had met not long ago and who would joke with her was sent to the hospital just because she played a few wild balls!

Basketball is obviously supposed to be an upright and cooperative competitive sport, but under the secret control of people with a heart, it has become a dark game full of danger. How terrible! How ridiculous.

She held Meng Yufan's hand tightly, and she only felt that her heart was empty and messy.

She asked, "Have you been to see Xu Dong?"

"I've seen it." Meng Yufan said, "His family has been guarding outside the ward. His parents didn't know that he was playing field ball during this time. He told his family that he taught children to play basketball part-time outside, earning a lot of money. All the money is for tuition. After the accident, his parents blamed themselves so much that they didn’t dare to tell his grandfather.”

His voice became lower and lower, and suddenly, a tear fell, hot, burning the back of Yang Xiao's hand.

"I really regret..." The boy's voice was full of confusion and helplessness, "I met him before he went to play field ball that day. But I didn't hold him back, I... I... I really want to be with him for the rest of my life. Brother. From the day we entered school, we both trained and worked hard together. We agreed to enter the cba together, but now... In fact, his grandfather's illness, I can also help. He doesn't have to fight so hard at all. Wild ball! I still have a trust in the bank, I can take it out in advance, I can give him, or lend him a lot of money, but I…”

When Yang laughed and saw that he was on the tip of a bull's horn, she immediately raised her arm and slapped him.

A crisp and harsh slap fell on the side of his face. Yang Xiao didn't use much force, but it was enough to wake the boy who fell into the swamp.

"Meng Yufan, what nonsense are you talking about?" Yang Xiao said sharply, "This is not the you I know at all!"

Meng Yufan was blinded by her and looked at her blankly.

Yang Xiao sat up on his knees and hugged him again.

She seemed to be holding a child, an oversized child. She pressed his head firmly on her shoulder, she held his shoulder with one hand, and stroked his back with the other, again and again.

"It's not your fault, Yu Fan, it's never your fault. You don't need to attribute all the mistakes to yourself." Yang Xiao said firmly in his ear, "Even if you gave him a lot of money, With Xu Dong's character, will he accept it? He has thousands of opportunities to borrow money from you, but he never opens his mouth. He has his pride."

"… "

"Playing wildball is a choice he made. No matter whether the choice is right or wrong, and the result is good or bad, this is the path he chose by himself. You are his friend, you can pity him, you can I feel bad for him, you can help him, but you can't make choices for him!"

She finished the series of words in one breath. Yang Xiao didn't want Meng Yufan to fall into undue self-blame. Everyone should be responsible for their own life, Meng Yufan has no need to carry other people's lives on his shoulders.

For a while, the whole room was silent, only two breathing sounds intertwined.

It's been a long time.

Meng Yufan suddenly spoke.

"...Sister Xiaoxiao, can I avenge him?"

Yang Xiao was taken aback: "Do you know who made it?"

"I don't know for the time being." Meng Yufan shook his head, "But the basketball circle is so big, whether it's a wild ball or a professional player, there are very few people who can hit such a powerful attack. This person must be very tall, and his arm strength is amazing... I can Narrow down this range.”

Meng Yufan thought that Yang Xiao would stop him, and advised him not to be impulsive or take risks.

But who would have guessed, Yang Xiao actually nodded.

"Okay, I support you." She said solemnly, "but you must promise me that this revenge must be resolved on the basketball court in an open and honest way, not private fights."

The young man was angry and scolded Fang Qiu.

Although Yang Xiao still couldn't like Xu Dong until now, there must be a reason for Meng Yufan to attach so much importance to this friendship.

Then, she will support all his decisions.

A gleam flashed in the boy's eyes, he stretched his arms and gave her a tight hug.

"Thank you," he said.

Thank you Yang Xiao for coming into his life.

The boy's strength was so great that his palm just touched the bruise on Yang Xiao's arm. Those were scratches that Xing Fei had caught during the day. After several hours of precipitation, it had turned from red to purple.

Yang Xiao whispered "his...", thankfully wearing a long-sleeved shirt to block the marks on the flesh.

Meng Yu asked busyly, "What's wrong? Am I too strong?"

Yang Xiao replied, "It's okay, it's just that when I went to see the construction of the video studio during the day, I accidentally bruised it."

Originally, she wanted to tell Meng Yufan about Xing Fei. Her ex-boyfriend has become a sponsor of the show, and they will have a lot of intersections at work in the future. She feels that she should tell him about this kind of thing in advance.

But... Meng Yufan has already had so many troubles today, so don't bother him with this matter anymore.
