If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools.
After Su Zheng started to teach Ye Shuang the craftsmanship, he didn't explain much about the techniques and essentials of movements. Basically, you only need to know a few points to pay attention to in this regard, and then practice more.
Instead, it was about the purchase and making of various tools and mechanisms. Su Zheng spent more time and effort explaining this aspect.
"... Take the blade, for example. You also know that this thing is used to cut leather, and the most important thing is to be sharp. If you use a fruit knife to drag someone's bag and cut it hard, it won't work. It has to be opened with one scratch."
While Su Zheng was talking, he took out a thin blade between his fingers. It was only the size of the thumb and looked about the same thickness as a piece of paper. It was extremely fragile but also extremely sharp: "The double-sided blade used to be good, but when I use it, It’s easy to handle, and it needs to be quick to store and collect. The key lies in the skill of operation.”
In addition to the reshaped blade, Su Zheng also had iron wire, linen wire, various odd-shaped hooks, needles, and magnets on her body.
Ye Shuang watched silently as Su Dingdang took out a handful of bits and pieces from various places on his body, and lamented for the first time that life in technical jobs was not easy.
Su Zheng was very interested and motivated. She displayed everything in detail, giving her a sense of instant visibility when showing off her brand-name bags to her friends. No one had learned this from her before, and even if someone was interested occasionally, they would give up after a short time because practicing the skills was boring.
Stealing things is not that simple. Nowadays, street thieves need to be ruthless and bold to steal a wallet or something. I have never seen many thieves pull people's bags and pull things out from the inside out in crowded crowds. For example, when squeezing a car, the owner usually just thinks that the bag is squeezed by the crowd, and a bunch of people around him don't dare to say anything when they see it.
What's more, you are shopping in front, and someone behind you is taking money out... Anyway, the thief is not afraid of witnesses, as long as the person being stolen from can't notice it.
Even if they notice you, if you look a little softer, they can immediately change your attitude.
Su Zheng hates these violent elements the most. They have no skills but attack people on the streets. The key is that they also destroy the high-end image of professional thieves...
Precisely because thieves no longer strive to improve their stealing skills, there are not many people who are willing to spend a lot of time on boring training like Su Zheng.
The so-called profession has specialization, and ordinary people can just know some little tricks that don't require technology, or prepare a small tool that can turn the tables at critical moments. But want to practice your door-stealing skills until you are proficient in everything? Easier said than done.
It was rare that Ye Shuang came to Su Zheng on his own initiative this time to help Su Zheng get addicted to teaching. What was even more rare was that Ye Shuang's comprehension and operation abilities were far beyond Su Zheng's expectations. She could do many things almost as soon as she showed them. …Having such a powerful student is almost the lifelong dream of all teachers.
Couldn't be more accomplished!
…
So just like that, when Luo Mingxin heard that Shuangmei was still in the Magic City and came to visit her when she was given a rare day off during her filming break, what she heard was a completely unbelievable teaching.
"This one is not as easy to use as the other one. This kind of iron wire is too soft, and it doesn't have enough strength to lift the spring after being hooked into the keyhole. You can try this with me... Locks are generally classified into mechanisms, and pins are the most common and most common The type that is easy to pry open, you can use a crowbar and a torque wrench to create a bracket in the internal pin groove. There are also simpler ones that use an electric pick gun, but they are too low-tech. "
Su Zheng stood on the door and poked the keyhole with a wire to demonstrate to Ye Shuang. She kept repeating the instructions: "We usually start from the difficult to the simple. Are there any tools that you can prepare later? But if you don't have any tools, you can still do it." If you do, then you can guarantee your completion rate no matter what situation you encounter in the future.”
Luo Mingxin: "..." Should he walk away quietly
Ye Shuang was leaning on one side with her arms folded and was listening with great interest. She spotted Luo Mingxin out of the corner of her eye, so she stood up straight and said hello with a smile: "Why is King Luo Tian free to come here?"
"..." The corner of Luo Mingxin's mouth twitched, and he looked at Su Zheng, who stood up straight in front of the door and pretended to be nonchalant. He raised the packaging bag in his hand and tried to look calm: "I heard that you are still here in the Magic City. It's just the right time. I have to attend an event tomorrow, and the crew gave me a day off today, so I came to see you."
Ye Shuang smiled and said: "Did Boss Mo tell you that I changed my residence here? Oh, by the way, let me introduce you... This is my friend Su Zheng. Xiao Su, you don't need me to introduce the person in front of you, right? Luo Mingxin We also met King Luo Tian when we were expanding our business."
"I know, of course I know! I'm Luo Tianwang Tiese!" Su Zheng Xingxing glanced at the photo and brushed it over in seconds: "Luo Tianwang, can you sign your name for me? It's a pity that our boss is not willing to take your business. The first two Wasn't there a princess from a small country who planned to hire mercenaries to kidnap you and take you back to be the wife of the king of the stronghold? The order originally came to us first, but it was pushed back. Fortunately, another team took over and finally saved your reputation. Chastity…”
Luo Mingxin: "..." Sure enough, it's better to go away! !
Ye Shuang couldn't help but be amazed. How many lifetimes of bad luck did Luo Mingxin have to endure before meeting such a fan who ruthlessly revealed the secrets of his idol
"Is there such a thing?" Ye Shuang glanced at Luo Mingxin jokingly.
Luo Mingxin finally couldn't maintain his grace and glared at the two girls, gritting his teeth: "The impact of the incident was a bit bad, and it was already under control beforehand. Boss Mo and the officials didn't want to make a big fuss, so they suppressed it." As he said, He glanced at Su Zheng again: "Is this also an agent?"
"A member of the agency's team." Ye Shuang smiled and took out the key to open the door. After asking Luo Mingxin to go in, she asked Su Zheng to pour three glasses of water.
The three of them sat down behind the sofa, and Ye Shuang continued: "I told Brother Luo before that there is a job in the Demon City, right? Because I have just been promoted to an intermediate agent, and I haven't found all the team members yet, so I just We can hire a few people from other places to help... It seems that Brother Luo and us are indeed destined. I didn't know that you were once our customer."
"I don't know either." Luo Mingxin sighed.
What does one misstep lead to eternal regret? His influence was already fading, but not to the extent that he failed to produce masterpieces in the following years. So when the princess of the small country, who was his crazy fan, just caused trouble, Boss Mo still paid great attention and paid attention to her.
Later, the matter was resolved by the company, but for a considerable period of time, Luo Mingxin spent time under the personal security guard hired by Boss Mo. In addition to several kidnapping attacks, I heard that there are also professionals who negotiate with the other side and resolve disputes. After everything calmed down and the security guard left quietly, Luo Mingxin was too tired to even ask questions.
He didn't even know how the matter was resolved. He only heard that the princess was originally the third heir in her country, but later her royal inheritance rights were revoked and she was even removed from the royal family...
Su Zheng almost materialized a big tail wagging behind her, then drew out another pen and sent it to Luo Mingxin along with the previous photo: "Brother Luo, sign."
Luo Mingxin raised his eyebrows and looked at her. Without saying anything, he picked up the brush and signed it twice. However, Ye Shuang glanced at the photo and saw that it was a photo of Luo Mingxin and Su Zheng. It was probably photoshopped by Ah K for her. She didn't know how many photos like this Su Zheng had on her body.
Su Zheng went to collect the photos happily. Before putting the thin and crisp photo paper into her notebook, she even didn't forget to snap a clear photo with her mobile phone and upload it to Weibo to show off. Ichiban.
When Su Zheng happily ran into the small bedroom to put the collection book, Ye Shuang turned around and asked with a smile: "Does King Luo Tian really have nothing else to do? Su Zheng and I are the same kind of people. If you do Whatever you want to say, there is no need to be shy in front of her."
"I really don't know why there are so many weird people around you." Luo Mingxin sighed, and then elegantly crossed his long legs and put his arms casually on the armrest next to him: "I really just came to see my friends. , but I do have some questions I want to ask by the way. The answer is actually not important. The main thing is that there may be some follow-up trouble, so I want to see if you have received any information."
Ye Shuang raised her eyebrows to signal the other party to continue.
Luo Mingxin didn't hesitate and asked straight to the point: "I heard from a friend that you have played mahjong with Sister Yu recently. How many times have you played mahjong?"
"For business needs, I need her help with some small matters." Ye Shuang said frankly. In fact, there was no need to hide anything.
Probably because Ye Shuang answered too cheerfully, Luo Mingxin was stunned for a moment.
It happened that Su Zheng also put away her notebook and came out of the room. After hearing this, she couldn't help her gossiping nature and wanted to share some irrelevant inside information with Luo Mingxin: "Wang Luo Tianwang is also interested in Sister Yu? That woman is so powerful. I He went to her apartment once with Sister Shuang and listened to Sister Shuang’s analysis saying blablabla…”
Ye Shuang silently picked up the water glass and shut up, while Luo Mingxin was involuntarily attracted by the revealed content.
It was fine when we first met, but after spending some time with Su Zheng, Ye Shuang realized that this little girl was actually a chatterbox.
In the past, all members of Su Zheng's team were male, and most of them could not relate to her in the same place. Moreover, the client goals and tasks that the team came into contact with could not be leaked, and Su Zheng could not disclose them to people in her life circle. Friends tell these things. So after doing this for a long time, the result was that Su Zheng was filled with secrets that no one shared.
What’s the point of the topics discussed in the sister shopping circle
famous brand? She has come into contact with so many famous brand agents at work that she has become familiar with them, and the prices are also high. News and current affairs? Su Zheng had dinner with several mayors. Although she went with her agent, any private message posted at the dinner table was more popular than searching for the top 10 topics on the Internet. crime? Caught many. Racing? F1, Le Mans Endurance Race, DTM... you name it, she can describe it to you clearly from the front desk to the backstage in minutes.
Although Luo Mingxin is not a colleague in the agency circle, there is no taboo against mentioning things to him in the entertainment industry. As long as Su Zheng doesn't reveal any secrets, ordinary internal news can still be shared and discussed.
... So Luo Mingxin was shared a lot of rich and exciting gossip.
Which director has a private agreement with which star, which diva is secretly poking at which newcomer, which singer hires a gunman to compose lyrics and music and then deceives the world and steals the name, and which movie may be about to be divested... You won't know if you don't listen, but you will be scared when you hear it. Jump. Although news spread quickly in the entertainment industry, it was so fast, especially when many things were known in such detail before they were revealed. This was the first time that Luo Mingxin experienced such a prophetic feeling.
"I didn't know before, but it turns out that your agents are still like this... with hands and eyes?!" Luo Mingxin was filled with emotion and emotion. After careful consideration, he finally came up with a description that he thought was appropriate, and then took advantage of Su Zheng to take a sip of water. During the break, he said sadly to Ye Shuang: "I've never heard you say so many personal things to me before. I thought we were good friends."
"Ah K helped her dig out Xiao Su's information. She likes to read entertainment industry gossip." Ye Shuang rolled her eyes: "My hackers are engaged in high-end secrets. If you are interested in the Pentagon and satellite aircraft carriers, etc., Will I share the news with you next time?"
"Hey, King Luo Tian and Sister Shuang have such a good relationship, surely they won't tell these things?" Su Zheng said with a smile.
Luo Mingxin sighed: "Okay, I won't quarrel with you... Didn't I just talk about Sister Yu? This circle is not big to begin with, and Sister Yu has such a wide range of contacts. Everyone knows that she is supported by the big boss in Xiangjiang. You and her If someone sees you coming in and out a few times, it will definitely spread. Because you are not a member of the circle, the news will not spread widely for the time being, but if one day people who know you know about it, for example, it will spread to Mo. The words in the boss’s ears. I’m afraid Boss Mo won’t feel too comfortable.”
"You mean Boss Mo will suspect me of joining forces with Miao Yi?" Ye Shuang asked.
Luo Mingxin nodded, that's what he meant.
Ye Shuang said curiously: "Our industry is open to do business. It is impossible to say that I have cooperated with you. So in the future, I will not cooperate with anyone you hate, right?"
Luo Mingxin almost choked, and his solemn expression almost cracked: "Are you really planning to cooperate with Miaoyi? You don't know about the conflict between Tianmo and Miaoyi, right? Even if there is really business dealings, logically speaking, the best At least after the cooperation with Tian Mo ends... "
Before coming, he thought there was some misunderstanding and wanted to warn people to avoid suspicion. After the results came, I realized that this was really not a misunderstanding.
If Ye Shuang really wants to play with fire, then Luo Mingxin doesn't know how to persuade him.
Ye Shuang shook her hand and stretched out her fingers to count: "First of all, my cooperation with Tian Mo has actually ended long ago. I am just an intermediary editor, not a regular employee who sold myself to Tian Mo. Second, as I said just now, A The personal issues between client and client B have nothing to do with me. For example, if you buy a kitchen knife from me to have a chop fight with someone, and then your opponent comes over to buy a bone chopping knife, it is impossible for me not to sell the knife just because I have sold it to you. He... Thirdly, rather than me cooperating with Miaoyi, I want to find someone to introduce the boss of Xiangjiang. The distribution of interests does not involve Tianmo, so I don't think there is anything to avoid. "
"... Boss Mo may not think so." Luo Mingxin looked at Ye Shuang deeply for half a minute, and finally said again: "Some things may sound innocent, but there are unspoken rules in them. From a selfish point of view If you say so, you must at least consider whether you will offend Tian Mo because of this cooperation."
In particular, Brother Shuang just signed a supporting role with the crew, while Sister Shuang went to hook up with Tian Mo's rival Shang's family. No matter how clear it is, no one can explain clearly, let alone no one can guarantee that Ye Shuang is innocent.
This is indeed a problem...
Su Zheng looked left and right, Luo Mingxin's face was serious, and Ye Shuang lowered his eyes in thought. Su Zheng was a little confused after thinking about it for herself, so she raised her hand and asked: "Then let's go and make it clear to Boss Tianmo, okay?"
How can it be that simple? Ye Shuang looked at Su Zheng helplessly, then looked at Luo Mingxin: "I think I'd better ask Brother Han to talk."
Since Boss Mo had dealt with Han Chu's people once in the past because of Luo Mingxin's matter, the current situation could only be explained clearly by Han Chu coming over.
Even without this past incident, just looking at his personal attributes, Ye Shuang fully believed that Han Chu's super high IQ could solve such a small problem.
…
After discussing the news brought by Luo Mingxin, they chatted casually for a while. Because Luo Mingxin had an event to attend the next day, he couldn't stay any later today and had to rush to the stylist immediately. Trying on clothes and preparing an itinerary for tomorrow's activities.
Ye Shuang then learned lock picking and other skills from Su Zheng, and only called Han Chu after returning to her room at night. After saying the matter in this way, the next step was to wait for the latter to arrange time to fly to the magic city.
During this period of time, the relationship between Ye Shuang and Su Zheng became more and more profound. In addition to their mobile phone numbers, they also exchanged emails, Weibo and home addresses. Su Zheng was about to become a part-time non-staff member of Ye Shuang's team. member.
Before Han Chu came to the Magic City, Ye Shuang fixed his current gender and met Sister Yu a few more times, slowly changing the topic back and forth, and finally managed to guide the other party to mention the boss of Xiangjiang.
"Miaoyi is actually a branch office in Magic City. After all, the water in the capital is deep, and the people in Xiangjiang used to have better food than here in Magic City." Sister Yu said casually while touching the mahjong under her hand: "So Xiangjiang Company When people come here, they always go directly to the Magic City. Anyway, they set up their stalls here first and start acting. After the works are released, their influence is not limited to one province or city. In fact, it is similar wherever the company is set up."
The other two people on the mahjong table were joking and joking. Ye Shuang chatted a few words, and then asked as if unintentionally: "I heard that the boss of Xiangjiang doesn't come here often?"
"Come once every two to three months, and stay for ten and a half months each time." Sister Yu looked up and her eyes were shining brightly, her posture was very charming: "Xiaoye is also interested in Xiangjiang's circle?"
"I'm a little interested." There was no need to hide this kind of thing completely. Ye Shuang admitted frankly: "I know most of the people in mainland China, and I don't have much contact with Xiangjiang. Besides, your circle is not involved in the business world, so it is somewhat Curiosity.”
"Being in the entertainment industry is not much easier than shopping malls... The resources provided by each company are fixed, such as publicity, announcements, film appointments, concerts, meet-and-greets, role auditions, etc. If you take an opportunity, others will Naturally, there is one less opportunity, so the competition is also very fierce.”
Sister Yu chuckled, glanced at the other people on the mahjong stage, and said directly without any hesitation: "To put it bluntly, if there is no scheming background, no matter how powerful or talented the artist is, it will be impossible Anyone who is famous can be the same even if she is a pure girl or goddess."
The entertainment industry is another kind of workplace. You don't just have the ability, you also need to be able to deal with people to become a leader. For example, Luo Mingxin, even if his acting skills are recognized again, he is not unique.
Thousands of films are planned to be produced every year, but only one-third of them are allocated start-up funds. Among them, small-scale productions are almost never popular, and most of them are not known even after they are finished. Only one-tenth of the one-third of them are actually on the big screen.
Big-name actors are almost competing for role opportunities in these dozens of films. For example, there are 1,000 people with acting skills and reputation who can be supporting actors, but there are only nearly a hundred supporting roles. This is competition.
Someone of Luo Mingxin's level can be a leading actor, but there are not no other options for those with his fame and acting skills. The role he wants is also wanted by others, which is also competition.
If Luo Mingxin has no other bargaining chips, why does he stand out from other competitors
When strength and fame are equal, to give yourself more opportunities, you must rely on background and connections... to be unique? That's a lie to the uninitiated.
You say you don’t know how to be pure and innocent in the world? If you really don't know much about the world, where did you get the connections? Do you really think that the whole world is your mother, and everyone has to pamper you, this white lotus who is always good at making money
Sister Yu played a card and said with a smile: "Anyway, I have seen through it. The entertainment industry is like this. People in the industry are not as nourishing as me, an outsider... Xiaoye doesn't need to be too interested. With your status, even if you want to ask the king to accompany you for a drink, you can It’s no problem.”
What status? A swindling identity? !
Ye Shuang smiled and didn't answer, but Sister Yu thought about it again: "If you're really interested, a boss's daughter's birthday happens to be next week, and I'll see if I can ask some celebrities from Xiangjiang to come over to celebrate. But. You have to talk things through first. If your family blames me for leading you into trouble, you can't come back to settle the score with me later."
She really believed that Ye Shuang was a well-hidden daughter of a famous lady.
Are ordinary people able to board the Zhuoyuan Voyage cruise ship? ! joke!
But from another perspective, Ye Shuang is really not an ordinary person now. (To be continued)
