Seeing that Liang Sheng did not refuse, Chu Jin was ready to tell me the whole story of the matter they discussed. He took a sip of tea and spoke clearly, "Actually, it's not a big deal, but it's about us. Boss Liang’s past.”
"In the past?" I glanced at Liang Sheng curiously. He was still repeating the action of opening and closing the lighter cover. The corners of his mouth sank slightly, and his face was slightly calm. It seemed that it was not a happy past.
Chu Jin nodded, "You don't know, Boss Liang has been out together before."
"Chu Jin!" Liang Sheng interrupted Chu Jin's conversation with a soft voice, "Since we all say that we will meet each other if we are destined, then there is no need to bring up the old things again. This matter is not allowed to be mentioned again in the future!"
Chu Jin responded conditionedly: "Cha!" and then made a face at me.
Their reactions made me more and more curious about Liang Sheng. After we settled the bill and went out, Liang Sheng and Chu Jin walked in front, Director Qin and I followed behind. When Liang Sheng wasn't paying attention, I whispered Ask Director Qin, "Is the person you are looking for important to Mr. Liang?"
Director Qin thought for a moment and nodded, "Very important!"
"Ex-girlfriend?" What I can think of is a passionate first love, but also a first love that ended without a problem. To make a person as cold as Liang Sheng worry about her and never give up on her search, she must be a girl whom she can be deeply in love with.
Director Qin's answer rejected my guess. He shook his head, "No, it's much more important than that."
I can't think of any other person who could be much more important than my ex-girlfriend, and yet I would describe it with the phrase "we will meet each other if we are destined to meet you".
I followed Director Qin into the car. This time, Chu Jin was driving and Liang Sheng was the co-pilot. On the way back, none of us spoke. The music in the car was playing slowly. It was a lyrical old song. Listening to it only made people feel depressed.
After returning to Liang Sheng's apartment, I said goodbye to them and took a car to Yuansheng Building alone. On the way, I called Wang Xiaodan several times, but no one answered the phone. I suddenly became a little worried, thinking back to the dirty man last night. With the fishy scene next to Wang Xiaodan's ears, he suddenly understood the meaning of Liang Sheng's words.
He said, this circle is not as simple as I imagined.
Wang Xiaodan's phone number was always unreachable, so I called He Lu, who was working at the same time as us. Before I could ask, He Lu asked me first, "What happened to you? You didn't come to work, and you didn't even ask for leave." , Fortunately, the supervisor didn't come today, so I told other colleagues that you have tasks to go out. When will you come back, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep it secret for a long time. "
He Lu is a relatively reserved girl. I definitely couldn't tell her what happened last night, so I casually replied, "It's nothing. Chen Shulei still has some follow-up work to be done. When the supervisor comes, you can tell her the truth." That’s all she said. Thank you.”
Knowing that Wang Xiaodan didn't go to work today, I wasn't even in the mood to pursue Chu Jin's lie to me. I quickly called a car and ran home, always hoping that Wang Xiaodan had drunk too much yesterday and went home. He didn't go to work and maybe he just overslept. But when I hurried upstairs and knocked on the door countless times, I realized that things were far from as simple as I thought.
While anxious, I suddenly thought of Liang Sheng. He must have Chen Shulei's phone number.
I dialed his number, kicking pebbles at my feet. Finally, the call was connected, and Liang Sheng's cold voice came, "What, is there something wrong again?"
"Um, can you send me Chen Shulei's number? It's urgent." I asked without thinking.
The other person on the phone was silent for two seconds and replied, "It's okay for you, but I think you won't be able to contact her for the time being."
"Why?"
Liang Sheng did not answer directly, just said, "I'll give you her agent number."
"All right."
I hung up the phone and soon received a text message. I dialed the number in the text message again. It was indeed Chen Shulei's agent. I asked her if she knew where Chen Shulei was, but she kept asking me which media reporter I was from. , knowing that I couldn’t get anything out of her, I simply hung up the phone and prepared to go back to the club last night to look for her.
As soon as I left the community, a taxi stopped beside me. When I saw it was Wang Xiaodan, I felt so excited that I wanted to cry. I grabbed her hand and asked, "Where have you been? You haven't come back until now. Do you know that I am very sad?" worry about you."
Wang Xiaodan looked the same as usual. She smiled and said, "Chen Shulei and I went to play. You still have the nerve to say that you ran away like that yesterday. If Chen Shulei hadn't been generous and didn't care, how would you have lived in the future?"
When she said it was okay, I felt a little relieved, and asked again, "Where did you go to play? You spent the whole night playing, you didn't even go to class, and I didn't even ask for a day off!"
Wang Xiaodan ruffled my hair, held my hand and walked home, "Oh, what a big deal." Her tone was a little light, "Isn't it just a job? Let me tell you, Chen Shulei has a good impression of me now. Yes, she said she wanted us to do her personal makeup, which is much better than working at Yuansheng."
I let go of her hand and stopped. She turned back with an ignorant look, "What's wrong?"
I asked her seriously, "Have you forgotten our original dream?"
Wang Xiaodan pondered for a moment, then grinned and smiled heartlessly: "I haven't forgotten that we all want to be top makeup artists like Director Qin. This is not inconsistent with whether I choose Yuansheng or Chen Shulei. Even if Following Chen Shulei in the future, I will work harder and move closer to our dreams."
She spoke so seriously and sincerely that I suddenly wondered if my worries were unnecessary. I poked her forehead, "Just don't forget."
She stuck out her tongue at me and said nothing more.
We had a tacit understanding that no one mentioned what happened that night again. She seemed to not want me to know where she and Chen Shulei went, and I didn't want her to know that I slept at Liang Sheng's house all night. But later Chen Shulei's agent came to me to sign a contract as a personal makeup artist, but I refused. My dream is to start with Yuan Sheng. No matter what the final result is, I want to work hard according to the established plan.
Although Wang Xiaodan thought I was making a fuss, he still respected my idea. We still lived together, and sometimes we would go to and from work together. Our days were neither salty nor dull. Life gradually got on the right track. Yuan Sheng became more and more familiar to me. I began to forget the past and look towards the sun again. born.
In the blink of an eye, October has passed. I still wear short sleeves and long trousers, white with blue. I am still used to having pockets in my clothes and never leave my phone. But I no longer subconsciously touch the pendant around my neck.
Since I and Wang Xiaodan were watching a movie very late the night before, after the morning meeting, I yawned nonstop and took a cup to the tea bar to pour coffee. I happened to bump into two other interns chatting at the same time, and I nodded to them. I walked to the coffee machine to make coffee, and they suddenly stopped me.
One of the girls named Jin Jing said, "Shen Yan, everyone is preparing for the election for the film's chief makeup artist position. Why are you not nervous at all? Are you secretly working hard to prevent us from knowing?"
I picked up the coffee cup, smiled politely, and replied tactfully, "I'm not the most skilled in our company. The company will definitely give this quota to someone who can take on this important task. If the professional level is not enough, it will be useless no matter how hard we try. .”
I don't deny that there is a hint of satire on their professionalism. They always like to talk about nothing. Makeup is a technical job. Unlike the film and television industry, she can become famous by relying on scheming and means. The reason why I dare to talk to them like this is because among the makeup artists at the same time, no one can work as hard as me.
Because I vowed to surpass Yuan Yushan, even if I have talents that are superior to ordinary people, I have never stopped learning and furthering my professional skills.
Another girl is named Xia Nuannuan. Although her name is warm, her person is the opposite. She raised her eyebrows and deliberately raised her voice: "Jingjing, you are wrong to ask this question. We are ordinary people and naturally we have to work harder. But it’s different, I have a backer, so maybe I don’t care about such a hard and tiring position at all.”
"What do you mean?" I squinted at her.
Xia Nuannuan raised her lips, "Who doesn't know that you have a good relationship with Wang Xiaodan? Wang Xiaodan has now flown on the branches and turned into a phoenix to become Chen Shulei's royal makeup, and Chen Shulei has a close relationship with our Mr. Liang. If you want to get this quota, you can also It’s not a matter of a few words.”
