After a few months, Jiang Qi was once again on the trending searches.
And this time the title is #运圈紫微星江琪在汽车工厂工作#, which is long enough, explosive enough, and eye-catching enough.
—The reason is that the self-proclaimed Jiang Qi'fan' was in the 4S store, and made Zhan Yang out of the trouble.
"Jiang Qi, the fans are still supporting you after you quit the circle, and I have always believed that you will come back, but how can you do this!" After the woman was thrown away by Jiang Qi, she whimpered angrily. Crying, stomping and spitting with tears in his eyes: "You don't even say that you repair cars here, you still treat fans like this! Are you really that kind of bad artist?!"
"I am." Now that everyone who has made trouble knows it, Jiang Qi simply looked at her coldly under the helpless onlookers around him, and said bluntly: "So I quit the circle, what else do you want to do? "
"I'm a bad artist, so are you a bad fan?"
Jiang Qi is just indifferent who doesn't like to talk usually, but he is really more vicious than his mouth, and he has never lost.
The fan was taken aback by what he said, and then burst into tears again.
For a while, she said that her idol filter was shattered, and for a while, she said that the attitude of the staff in this store was not good, that the owner of the store bullied customers and so on... In short, her crying without limit finally alarmed the boss Zhanyang.
It was also at this time that Zhan Yang, who had never paid much attention to the entertainment industry, realized that his shop was actually a 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon'.
A lot of people were attracted by this woman's piercing voice, and now even outside the window of the 4S store, there are a lot of people screaming and taking pictures of Jiang Qi with their mobile phones.
After Zhan Yang came out and understood the cause and effect, he first scolded the innocent salesperson in a rage: "Are you a fucking fool? Why don't you hurry up and close the door! Pull down all the curtains in the shop!"
Anyway, Jiang Qi is now an employee in his shop.
And as a boss, he must first and foremost protect the employees in the store.
But Jiang Qi's appearance in overalls in the 4S store has been photographed by many people, and it is precisely because of this that he was on the trending list.
It's just that when Jiang Qi was on the hot search, he himself never knew about it.
"Ma'am, loud noises are prohibited in the store. If you can't abide by it, then I won't do business with you." Zhan Yang is a tall and big hooligan. Yan raised his chin with that radical 'fan': "Please go ahead."
The two guests didn't dare to say anything for a while, and the male companion next to the woman felt extremely embarrassed.
"No, I'm sorry." He said deflatedly, "It's our fault."
The woman next to her stubbornly bit her lip and raised her chin, but she refused to admit her mistake.
And Jiang Qi didn't need her to admit his mistake, the young man sneered and turned back to the workshop.
... It doesn't matter if you are recognized with a complete look, what should you do? You are neither humble nor overbearing.
It's just that now the whole workshop knows that Jiang Qi is a 'star' who has retired from the circle, and even those rough guys in the workshop who don't pay attention to any information in the entertainment industry on weekdays know it when this fan makes a fuss.
Right now, under Jiang Qi's nose, they couldn't help taking out their mobile phones and quietly searching for the keyword 'Jiang Qi', wanting to see if there was really a crouching tiger, hidden dragon beside them.
After a while, Jiang Qi, who was working with his head down, was called into the office by Zhan Yang.
The boy walked in, and saw Zhanyang sitting on the chair behind the desk, just like a Malaysian monkey who was bound everywhere—to be honest, this office and chair are not used much by Zhanyang on weekdays .
But if you want to 'talk' with people, it's more formal, right
Zhan Yang coughed lightly, glanced awkwardly at Jiang Qi and pointed to the chair in front of the table: "Sit down."
Jiang Qi sat down.
"What that crazy woman said during the day..." Zhan Yang paused, then looked at Jiang Qi tentatively: "Is it true?"
He originally thought that Jiang Qi would be perfunctory or say something, but he never expected that the young man in front of him was a stick.
Hearing this, Jiang Qi said indifferently and straightforwardly: "You should have checked on Baidu, why are you still asking me?"
…
Zhan Yang felt that he knew a little bit why Jiang Qi quit the circle.
With just this emotional intelligence and such a violent temper, can he survive in the entertainment industry? Although Zhan Yang doesn't know much about it, he also knows that the entertainment industry is a hypocritical Vanity Fair.
"You, do you know that you are on the hot search?" Zhan Yang almost laughed angrily, and threw the phone in front of Jiang Qi for him to see.
"It should be on." Jiang Qi said calmly, "But I never watch it."
"Can't you see it?" Zhan Yang pointed to the drawn curtains in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office, dumbfounded: "Now the reporters, the media, and your group of fans have all piled up at the door of my store!"
It is very fast to pick up a person online, let alone pick up a star who has been popular.
It's only been an hour since Jiang Qi's hot search, but Zhan Yang's repair shop has been wiped out from the front desk to the store, from the location to the scale.
——I almost picked up the names of every employee in his store.
Those media and fans who rely on hot spots to support themselves naturally heard the news, and now they have surrounded the repair shop.
It seems that through the house and the window, the noise and roar of the busy traffic outside can be heard.
Jiang Qi was silent for a while, then suddenly took off the work card around his neck.
"Brother Zhan, I'm sorry." The young man lowered his eyes and said flatly, "I'm the one who caused you trouble."
It seemed that wherever he was, there was trouble.
For so many years, this iron-like law seems to have never changed. For a moment, Jiang Qi almost had the feeling of 'resigning himself to fate'.
Zhan Yang silently looked at the work card on the table, not knowing what to say for a moment.
In fact, he didn't mean to force Jiang Qi to resign, but using him again... is obviously not realistic, unless he wants to turn his repair shop into a 'zoo' for people to visit. As long as Jiang Qi works here, no matter whether it is the media Or fans will not let go of the opportunity to report, so is he still doing business
So after being dumb for a while, Zhan Yang took back his work permit and sighed softly: "According to the labor contract, I will pay you an extra three months' salary."
"No need." Jiang Qi shook his head: "Normally, it's fine to open according to the number of days."
In fact, he has only worked here for more than a month in Zhanyang, how can he be ashamed to get three months' salary
Besides, in just over a month, I have caused trouble for others.
After 'sneaking out' from a small back door of the repair shop, the glaring sunlight rushed over his body, Jiang Qi was bathed in this scorching heat, but rarely felt dazed.
He was dizzy, but he still knew the truth of 'this time it is not suitable to stay for a long time', so he left quickly.
The job just disappeared for no reason, how should I explain it to Zhiqi
Maybe there is no need to explain, after all, the news that he was on the hot search again, the little girl must have seen it, and when she saw it, she would naturally understand everything.
When I was upset, my phone kept ringing.
Jiang Qi frowned suspiciously, but had to take it out to see, after all, few people knew his phone number.
The word 'Brother Shen' flashed on the screen, Jiang Qi froze for a moment, but still picked it up.
"Jiang Qi." Before he could speak, the familiar male voice on the opposite side quickly asked: "What's the hot search? Are you really working in a garage?"
"Brother Shen." After a few seconds of silence, Jiang Qi said in a cold voice, "I lost my job half an hour ago."
…
Shen Lei didn't know what to say right away, feeling really dumbfounded.
After all, Jiang Qi was the actor he was most optimistic about, but he turned upside down in a few months, and now he has retired to work as a car repairer. I really don't know what to tell him.
In the final analysis, it may still be the words 'hate iron but fail to make steel'.
Shen Lei sighed: "What are you going to do next?"
"What can I do?" Jiang Qi put on his usual mask and hat, and was able to walk on the street normally, and said, "Continue to look for a job."
While talking, he went to the newsstand to exchange some change, and pinched it into the subway entrance with his slender fingers.
"Continue to work as a car repairer?" Shen Lei raised his voice, almost angrily reprimanded: "Jiang Qi, aren't you humiliating yourself?!"
"Brother Shen, I can only do this." Jiang Qi gathered his figure into the endless stream of people in the subway station. He leaned aside and waited for the train, and said in a faint voice, "Make money with your own strength, what are you talking about? It’s meaningless if you don’t practice it.”
"What do you mean you can only do this?" Shen Lei became even angrier when he heard the words, and said without thinking, "Don't you know how to act?"
"I don't know how to act." Before Jiang Qi thought about what he could do, he also thought of the key word 'acting', but now that Shen Lei pointed it out, he vetoed it without hesitation: "I can act." Being in your play, that role is purely coincidental, as for the others... I don't have that talent."
For example, "Jiao Si", which he thought he could do, was messed up by him only in the second play.
A movie with a big male protagonist, how can the movie continue after the male protagonist quits? One week after Jiang Qi announced his retirement, he learned that the production team of "Jia Si" announced its disbandment, and this movie, which was originally invested in a large amount and made half of it, no longer exists.
To be honest, Jiang Qi felt very guilty about this incident. It was the first time in his life that he felt like he was 'holding back' others.
So he is not suitable for acting at all, Jiang Qi doesn't want Shen Lei to have any fantasies about him anymore, he is not worthy.
"Jiang Qi, you can't let yourself fall into a misunderstanding." Shen Lei's voice became serious: "Where are you now, come and see me."
This was the first time that Shen Lei asked to see Jiang Qi after he quit the circle for a few months.
Thinking of meeting him for the first time in prison, thinking of Shen Lei's kindness and help to him... the word 'no' stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say it no matter what.
After a while, Jiang Qi gave a compromised 'hmm': "Address."
Shen Lei sent him an address, Jiang Qi glanced at it, it was a restaurant in the southern city.
Coincidentally, at this time, Zhiqi's phone call also came in.
"Jiang Qi, I just saw the hot search after class, what's going on?" The girl's voice was obviously very anxious, and she kept asking: "Where are you? I'm going to look for you now? You haven't been blocked by those paparazzi, have you? "
"No, no." Jiang Qi said hurriedly, soothing her with a low voice: "I slipped out through the back door."
And Zhiqi on the phone breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, then where are you now?"
To be honest, she was really afraid that the siege and pursuit of those media and fans would irritate Jiang Qi.
Jiang Qi hesitated for a moment, and told about the phone call from Shen Lei just now.
Zhiqi asked: "Then are you going?"
"It's not good if you don't go." Jiang Qi said softly, "Brother Shen is very kind to me."
But at the same time, he also wanted to ask Zhiqi's permission—after all, Jiang Qi understood that for the sake of his psychological recovery, the little girl had always been reluctant to contact those 'old people' in the entertainment industry.
But in the same way, Zhi Qi also understands that Shen Lei is not the so-called old man to Jiang Qi.
Later, when she heard Jiang Qi talk about how Shen Lei discovered him and brought him into the circle, she knew that Shen Lei was actually Jiang Qi's "benefactor".
So Zhiqi smiled, her voice was very light: "See Brother Shen? That's great, actually, I really want to see him too."
Then, thank him in person.
Jiang Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and was even a little happy when he heard the words.
"Qiqi, then let's go together."
