"Oh..." Ji Sheng was at a loss under his gaze for a moment, and smiled hastily, staggering his eyes, "Then you still...have a personality."
Xie Xuanming still stared at him, noncommittal.
"Xiao Hui!" The keyboardist in the distance shouted, waving his hands, and rescued Ji Sheng from his bewilderment, "Come here."
"Oh, here we come." Ji Sheng replied, jumping up from the sofa almost impatiently.
"I'll go over for a while." He didn't even look at Xie Xuanming, and hurried away as if fleeing.
Xie Xuanming was still sitting in his seat and did not stop him.
Nirvana and the others were talking about something around a staff member. The chat atmosphere was not very pleasant, and Huang Sizhe was heard asking angrily from a long distance away.
"What do you mean by bad influence? To clarify, don't you have eyes to see? What kind of online comprehensive information is so lingering? Go to the ground and find a factory job!"
"This contestant, please calm down." The staff's tone was very helpless, "Although it is a misunderstanding, but the black material has been spread, and the brand is not willing to use artists with bad reputation, we can't help it, right?"
Ji Sheng stood beside Guitar, saw the two people arguing with red faces and thick necks, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
"Didn't there be a drink endorsement before." Guitar also whispered back, "Then because... the public opinion is not good, the sponsor refused to let Nirvana accept it."
Ji Sheng understood.
It is a tradition of the first season of "The Sound of Music" and even all talent shows to serve as sponsor drinks for the highly popular contestants. Generally, in the middle and late stages of the show, the popular contestants will cooperate with the brand to shoot commercials and endorse products. This is the first endorsement received by many show people.
After participating in the show for several months, Nirvana has attracted a lot of attention because of her excellent stage performance, and because of frequent accidents, she has turned passerby fans into loyal fans. So now Nirvana can be said to be the genuine top 1 popular group in the show, and it should take over the group representative both emotionally and rationally. But now he was notified to change the spokesperson.
The first one made an exception and couldn't get the resources, and if he said it, it would probably cause a lot of ridicule on the Internet. If there is no black material, he will be suspected of it. No wonder Huang Sizhe is angry.
But this kind of thing can't be helped, the players are innocent, and the brand is also innocent. Who wants to affect their own sales because of the artist's reputation? After all, businesses are in business.
What's more, Ji Sheng is already used to withdrawing endorsements. He was a smash hit in his previous life, and his subordinates endorsed countless times. After an accident, the reputation plummeted, and major brands demanded to terminate the contract. In the end, only an unknown toothpaste brand was left alone. , when shooting commercials, he was still in every possible way, which made Ji Sheng feel physically sick when he smelled the toothpaste afterwards, and he could only barely accept it when he switched to fruit-flavored children's toothpaste.
At this moment, Huang Sizhe and the staff were arguing fiercely, and their lips were worn out, not to be outdone.
Ji Sheng knew his youthful nature, and knew that it would be a waste of time to argue no matter what, so he sighed, went over and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Forget it."
Huang Sizhe's face was still stiff, his fists were clenched and then loosened.
Ji Sheng took a step forward, and continued to persuade in a low voice: "Stop working for others, it's not his problem."
He turned his head and smiled at the staff: "Thanks for your hard work, you can go and do other things."
Huang Sizhe didn't say a word, the staff breathed a sigh of relief, said goodbye to Nirvana in a hurry, and ran away.
"Whose problem is that?" Huang Sizhe was still unconvinced, and said stubbornly, "We obviously did nothing wrong, why were we withdrawn as endorsements?"
"I'm sorry." Ji Sheng said, "It's my black material..."
Huang Sizhe was taken aback for a moment, then reacted and said immediately: "It's not your problem, and I don't blame... Brother, you mean it."
He yelled his brother with extreme reluctance, completely different from the good boy who yelled when he gave up, but surprisingly similar.
Ji Sheng was inexplicably amused, smiled, squeezed his shoulder and said, "I know you don't blame me, but the fact is that Nirvana lost the endorsement because of me."
Huang Sizhe clenched his fists again, and denied: "It's because of the rumormongers, those bastards, they are not nice to others."
"Yes." Ji Sheng sighed, "But it was clarified in time, so it's a blessing among misfortunes."
Huang Sizhe's eyebrows twitched, thinking of contacting Xie Xuanming about the black material, even if it was too late to post a clarification later, he couldn't help frowning: "Do you... still stay by Xie Xuanming's side?"
"Huh? What?" Ji Sheng didn't know why he mentioned Xie Xuanming.
"After you were with him, many accidents happened frequently. Rumors and black material were all over the place. I thought you wouldn't do this if you were an idiot. It would only be because Xie Xuanming made many enemies and hurt you. .”
Huang Sizhe went through the analysis on his own initiative, and Ji Sheng was taken aback for a while.
Huang Sizhe's idea is actually very logical, but unfortunately cause and effect are reversed.
It wasn't because he was next to Xie Xuanming that he was repeatedly plotted against, on the contrary, it was "Ji Hui" who attracted the hatred, and Xie Xuanming protected him like a talisman.
Ji Hui is an idiot that no one cares about, but Ji Sheng is not.
But it's hard to explain it clearly to Huang Sizhe, after all, "Ji Hui" is "Ji Sheng", no matter how you think about it, it's too pseudo-scientific, and it sounds like a fantasy.
Ji Sheng was still struggling, Huang Sizhe suddenly took a step forward, and asked in a low voice: "Besides...you were forced to stay by his side, we are not bound by a contract now, and we have some reputation, you can definitely find a way to leave... "
"I… "
"Sizhe! Xiaohui!"
Just as Ji Sheng opened his mouth, he suddenly heard a call from the keyboard player.
Ji Sheng raised his eyes, and the keyboard player and guitar in front of him were flustered, and their eyes were wandering, beckoning him to look back.
Ji Sheng followed the hints of the two and turned his head, almost bumping into Xie Xuanming who was sticking very close.
Looking directly at Xie Xuanming's cold eyebrows, Ji Sheng's skin got goosebumps, he glanced at Huang Sizhe guiltily, not sure if Xie Xuanming heard what the two of them said just now.
It's strange to say that in the last life Ji Sheng didn't talk about being a teenager, even if he fell out with Xie Xuanming later, he still had no scruples in front of him, and he didn't care what Xie Xuanming thought at all. Who would have thought that once he was reborn, he was inexplicably tied up in front of Xie Xuanming.
Could it be that Ji Hui had been pretending for a long time, which produced an empathy effect, and passed on the awe and fear of Xie Xuanming
Ji Sheng was puzzled.
Before he could figure it out, Xie Xuanming grabbed his wrist and dragged him away from the scene with great force.
Xie Xuanming didn't let go of Ji Sheng until he reached the underground parking lot. When he let go, there were already clear finger marks on Ji Sheng's wrist.
After knowing his identity, Xie Xuanming almost never treated Ji Sheng so roughly.
It's really pissed off.
Ji Sheng held his slightly swollen wrist, turned it lightly twice, and asked tentatively, "What's wrong?"
"That question just now." Xie Xuanming's voice was cold, "What do you want to answer."
Ji Sheng thought to himself, if you want to know, just stand and listen quietly, and what are you doing while dragging people all the way down the ground.
But after thinking about it, Ji Sheng realized that he didn't know the answer to the question either.
His quietness has special meaning in Xie Xuanming's eyes, Xie Xuanming smiled on the skin: "I want to leave."
"No." Ji Sheng quickly denied this time. He tried to explain, "Where can I go? Ji Yueming is still in the hospital, and no one knows my identity. I..."
He lowered his voice, and the pain in his wrist became more severe as time went on. Ji Sheng was inexplicably depressed, and whispered melancholy: "I have nowhere to go."
Xie Xuanming quietly looked at Ji Sheng with lowered eyes for a while, then said in a low voice, "So, you are still staying with me because of Ji Yueming, because your identity is known, and because you have nowhere to go."
Ji Sheng was choked by his interpretation, and after thinking about it for a while, he found himself speechless.
"I..." Ji Sheng said.
"Forget it." Xie Xuanming interrupted him, turned around the front of the car, and opened the driver's door, "That's pretty good."
He lightly opened the car door, and laughed at himself: "What reason do I expect you to give? Get in the car."
After that, he lowered himself into the driver's seat and closed the door heavily.
Ji Sheng stood there for a few seconds, and then slowly got into the passenger seat when the horn sounded.
It was very quiet along the way. Ever since his vest fell off cleanly, Xie Xuanming drove Ji Sheng himself, as if he was determined to change his career as a driver.
Ji Sheng couldn't help but cross himself in his heart for the driver who lost his job.
Stopping at the traffic light and waiting, Xie Xuanming suddenly said, "Sheng Kongzhi also meets your requirements."
"what?"
"Knowing that Ji Yueming is in the hospital and knowing your identity, I am willing to keep you here." Xie Xuanming calmly stated three reasons, "Why don't you go to his place?"
Ji Sheng: "..."
Ji Sheng laughed angrily: "No? Why do you bother with this?"
He was a little annoyed and said in disbelief: "How could I go to Sheng Kong Zhina? Thank God I can stay away from him... And can you pull him out for a walk if you have nothing to do? The tone is strange as if I and him are private It seems that I have blocked him on WeChat and calls, and now I don’t even have his contact information, how can I get to him?!”
Ji Sheng lost his temper because of his anger, and the depression in his heart dissipated a lot. Seeing that Xie Xuanming didn't say a word, he let out a sigh of relief, stroked his forehead hair, and suddenly heard the phone ring.
Unknown number.
Just in time.
Whether it's selling insurance, promoting real estate, or defrauding money.
It is a good call to appear in the current situation where I don't want to talk to Xie Xuanming.
Ji Shengxiong picked up the phone arrogantly, slid his hand to the hands-free button, and before he had time to say hello or turn off the hands-free, he heard the gentle male voice "Hello".
Ji Sheng's body froze suddenly, he twisted his neck and turned his head a little bit.
In the line of sight, Xie Xuanming stared at him coldly, with a slight arc of mockery hanging from the corner of his mouth.
He opened his mouth and asked dangerously in a low voice, "Don't you even have contact information?"
Ji Sheng: …
Ji Sheng deflated limply like a leaking balloon.
The phone was still working hard, and Sheng Kongzhi's words came from the other end of the phone who didn't know why.
"Is it Xiaosheng? I still think we need to talk. I know Xie Xuanming doesn't allow you to see me, so if possible, can you hide it from him and make an appointment?"
Xie Xuanming's eyes became colder and colder.
Ji Sheng's eyes darkened.
Woohoo, God is going to kill me.
