Highway service area.
Qi Cong put the purchased food and water in the passenger seat, and then got into the driver's seat consciously.
Seeing this, Shen Jia, who was hiding in the back seat and answering the phone, hurriedly said, "Brother Cong, leave it alone, I'll drive, you—"
"Shen Jia!"
A huge roar came from the mobile phone in Shen Jia's hand, which made Shen Jia shut up immediately.
"Can you give me more attention! What did I tell you before you went to Haicheng? You can let you go on vacation, and you can postpone all work for you, but you must, absolutely, and not make trouble even if you die. The news came. How did you promise me at that time!"
Shen Jia defended: "I didn't make trouble, it was the paparazzi who wrote scribbles. I really didn't fall in love. The person in the photo is Brother Cong. Those paparazzi are also true, how does Brother Cong look like a woman——"
"Does it make sense for you to drive your iconic sports car all over the street? Did I tell you to stop driving that car!"
Shen Jia's voice weakened: "I was in a hurry to go back to Haicheng and forgot to change my car..."
"..." After a suffocating silence, the voice was lower than before, but the voice was obviously angered and continued, "When you come back, come directly to the company to find me, no matter how late! It's easy if you're not in a relationship. , I'll ask the PR department to prepare, you'll be with..." He obviously took a deep breath, "Take a photo with your brother Cong, and the shape is best to be as in the photo taken by the paparazzi, I'll let you clarify When the time comes, you can post the photo on Weibo.”
Shen Jia breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly replied: "Then I will first ask Brother Cong if he is willing to show his face in public."
A more obvious deep breath came out, and the opposite side said with a bit of gritted teeth: "Brother Cong, I think you will be killed by your good brother sooner or later!"
beep.
The phone was hung up.
Shen Jia straightened up and secretly glanced at Qi Cong who was driving.
Qi Cong raised her eyes and caught Shen Jia's line of sight in the rearview mirror.
Shen Jia was shocked.
Without waiting for Shen Jia to be embarrassed, Qi Cong took the initiative to say, "Are you going to take a group photo to clarify the scandal?"
"... Brother Cong, you heard it." Shen Jia leaned over and grabbed the back of the driver's seat, scratching her face embarrassedly, "It's not good to be an artist, private life is easy to be noticed and discussed. -"
He suddenly thought of something, his voice froze, and he changed his words bluntly, "But it's very profitable, especially profitable! So Brother Cong, don't you really think about your debut?"
Qi Cong shook his head: "It's not that I don't think about debuting, it's that this matter will definitely not go well."
Shen Jia didn't understand: "How could it not go well? You can sign my sister's company, and the company will support it, and I will lead it. Even if you can't make a big fire right away, there will always be a small fire."
"This is where things went wrong." Qi Cong looked at the straight and wide expressway in front of him, and in his illusion, he seemed to see a mess of his life that he didn't know where he came from, "I've been so absurd in the past three years, and it's not good for you. Your sister should not agree with me to suck your blood like this."
Shen Jia was stunned, thinking of this with hindsight, and said with less confidence: "Not necessarily, my sister... You didn't mean to be bad to me before, you just forgot, as long as we tell my sister you Already remembering the past, she should sign you."
Qi Cong didn't answer.
He knew Shen Man. Although Shen Man seemed indifferent to Shen Jia, the stepmother's younger brother, he didn't care much, but he actually loved Shen Jia very much and was very protective of his shortcomings. Shen Jia thought too naively.
…
The two successfully returned to Beishi before four o'clock in the afternoon. During this period, Shen Jia's agent did not call Shen Jia again, so Shen Jia's clarification Weibo has not been posted.
When the car drove into Beishi, Qi Cong noticed that Shen Jia's mobile phone vibrated twice. After that, Shen Jia had been chatting with people while holding the mobile phone. She typed at a fast speed. She even put on headphones and listened to some voices. His expression slowly faded.
Qi Cong could probably guess who Shen Jia was chatting with, looked away, and according to the navigation prompt, steadily drove towards Manju Entertainment, the brokerage company opened by Shen Man.
After a quarter of four in the afternoon, the car parked in the underground parking lot of the building where Manju Entertainment is located.
All the way from getting off the car to getting on the elevator, Shen Jia has always been hesitant to say anything, wanting to say something but not knowing how to say it.
Qi Cong took his eyes away from the elevator floor guide and looked at Shen Jia through the reflection of the elevator door: "Sister Man is up there?"
Shen Jia froze, looked at Qi Cong, suddenly took off the peaked cap on her head in frustration, and grabbed her hair: "I chatted with my sister in the car, she... She said she wanted to see you."
Shen Man's original words are definitely not like this.
Qi Cong nodded: "I understand."
Shen Jia scratched her hair again: "You also know my sister's temper. If my sister doesn't speak well for a while, Brother Cong, you... I, I... "
"It's alright." Qi Cong smiled at Shen Jia reassuringly, "Is there any job seeker who can meet the boss directly on the first day of coming to the company? This is my chance, and I also believe that Sister Man will not really embarrass me. Don't talk too much for me for a while, just listen to your sister."
"What job seeker..." Shen Jia lowered her head and put her hat on her head again, "You are my brother."
The elevator stopped on the 21st floor, and the two walked out of the elevator, turned the corridor, and came to the door of Manju Entertainment. The door was a glass door, and Qi Cong saw Shen Man who was waiting beside the front cabinet inside at a glance.
Shen Man is five years older than Shen Jia. She is Shen Jia's half-sister. She is tall and thin. She doesn't look like the clean and handsome Shen Jia, but more like her biological mother. , there was no expression on his face, and he didn't look very close.
Next to Shen Man stood a man of about forty years of age. He was of medium build and had a gentle appearance. His eyebrows were deep and he looked a little fierce.
The aura formed by these two people standing together can scare the child away. At least from Qi Cong's point of view, Shen Jia, who was next to him, was quite frightened - his hand when pushing the door was stiff.
Probably hearing the push on the door, Shen Man and the man looked sideways together. Then the eyes of the two of them tacitly swept across Shen Jia and fell on Qi Cong.
Qi Cong looked back politely, but did not take the initiative to greet Shen Man.
Shen Man looked Qi Cong up and down, ignoring Shen Jiahuan's elder sister, and turned his head to the man beside him and said, "Zhenxun, take Jiajia to his lounge for a while."
Shen Jia looked at Qi Cong and Shen Man hesitantly. To Shen Man's surprise, he didn't say anything. He really followed the arrangement and left with his agent Zhao Zhenxun.
It wasn't until Shen Jia's figure was completely invisible that Shen Man looked at Qi Cong again: "Follow me."
Qi Cong obeyed and followed.
The two entered the chairman's office, Shen Man motioned Qi Cong to sit on the sofa, while he came to the coffee table and poured water from a cup.
"Really remember?"
Qi Cong looked at Shen Man who didn't look at him, sat on the sofa, and replied, "I remember."
"Forgot Jiang Zhaoyan?"
"forget."
Shen Man finally looked at Qi Cong, and put the poured water in front of Qi Cong: "If you are the same Qi Cong who forgot the previous 21 years when we met last time, and only has Jiang Zhaoyan in his eyes, I will directly tell you to get out. If you just remembered the past 21 years and didn't forget Jiang Zhaoyan, I'll give you a sum of money and ask you not to contact Jiajia in the future."
"But I happen to be neither."
"That's why I met you." Shen Man sat on the sofa beside Qi Cong, his attitude was actually quite mild, "I am very grateful for the fact that you took care of Jiajia, just based on this, I can immediately Sign you up and support you to make money, even if your age is far beyond the age range suitable for an artist to debut."
Qi Cong knew that there was more to come.
"But I'm afraid." Shen Man is very frank, "I'm afraid that one day you will remember your feelings for Jiang Zhaoyan that are completely unreasonable to others. I am a businessman, and before investing, I need to evaluate risks rationally. "
"I'm afraid too."
Shen Man's expression moved.
Qi Cong looked directly into Shen Man's eyes: "If possible, I don't want to stick to Jia Jia like a leech, but I was afraid that I would lose my memory again, so I despicably didn't refuse Jia Jia's kindness to me, because I needed to. Make money as soon as possible to stabilize my parents' life. Mr. Shen, I'm sorry and ashamed, but I really need a job that I can start and earn as soon as possible."
As soon as possible to get started and earn income, Shen Man heard Qi Cong's implication - he didn't ask to be signed as an artist, he just wanted to ask for a job.
After a few seconds of silence.
"I will arrange a comprehensive physical examination for you." Shen Man stood up, turned around and walked to the desk, took out a brochure from it, turned it back and handed it to Qi Cong, "This is the hottest one in the past two years. In the draft variety show, after the draft has entered the semi-finals, major entertainment companies will put a total of fifty trainees into the semi-finals, and go to the final selection with the fifty amateur players from the draft. Manju has five places, I can I'll give you one. The premise is that you have to show me that you have the potential to be an artist. Whether you sing, dance, or even talk about cross talk, you have to show me that you have something worth packing and cultivating."
Qi Cong was stunned.
"This year's semi-finals will be in October, which is a month and a half later. Before that, you will be an assistant by Jiajia's side and familiarize yourself with the work mode of the entertainment industry as soon as possible." Shen Man bent down and took Qi Cong's hand, and put the brochure on it. In Qi Cong's palm, "Also, you can call me Sister Man as you did before."
…
At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the traffic niche student Shen Jia finally gave a response on Weibo to the "love" that was being circulated on the Internet amid the heartbroken and anxious expectations of fans.
Shen Jia v: Girlfriend? Come on, let me introduce you to my new assistant and my good brother, Qi Cong. Back then, my brother covered me, but in the future, I will cover my brother [struggle] [struggle] [clench fist]
There are two photos on Weibo.
In the first photo, Qi Cong and Shen Jia are wearing the same clothes as when they were secretly photographed, standing together at the front desk of Manju Entertainment, one leaning against the front desk cabinet and smiling, the other raising his arms over each other's shoulders, holding his chin proudly , The corners of the brows and eyes are full of joy.
The second photo is a bit old, with a carport in the background. In the carport, two teenagers in school uniforms stood side by side, one tugged at the strap of the schoolbag slightly uncomfortably, bowed his head to avoid the camera, one smiled and put the other's shoulders, and took the other to the camera to compare scissors hands. The sun illuminates their expressions, and every bit of light is the taste of youth.
Fans and the melon-eating crowd who came to hear the news were all stunned after seeing Shen Jia's Weibo content and photos, and then they reacted differently.
