Thursday afternoon.
The clock on the wall moved silently, and the pointer pointed to three o'clock. The staff were busy in the corridor on the ninth floor of Leo Company. The secretaries put the sorted documents on the table of the large conference room. A simple small stage was set up on the right side of the wide conference room. The camera had been set up and aimed at the center of the stage. Several transmission lines were connected to the conference table, and there was an LCD screen in front of each seat.
The office opposite the large conference room was temporarily used as a makeup lounge.
The makeup lounge is divided into five relatively independent makeup areas. The theme of today's audition is "Mermaid Princess". Leo Company not only provides each female star who comes to audition with a relatively independent makeup area, but also provides them with audition clothes, full-time makeup artists, flowers and fruits. Yao Shuer, Yu Jingyi and Guan Ying all dress themselves up as princesses, but the difference is that Yao Shuer wears a pink princess dress, Yu Jingyi wears a white one, and Guan Ying wears a blue one. Each of them brought two or three assistants to take care of some minor matters.
The atmosphere in the makeup lounge was a bit depressing.
The news that Master Ou appointed the unknown newcomer and assistant Yin Xiamo as the advertising spokesperson in the lobby of Leo Company that day had already spread like wildfire, and the female stars who participated in the selection were naturally upset. Since Master Ou personally appointed Yin Xiamo to endorse the advertisement, it was definitely a foregone conclusion. Who knew that Leo Company would notify them to come for an audition, and Yin Xiamo's name was on the audition list. It is said that Shen Qiang sneered when she received the audition invitation letter, and tore it up and threw it into the trash can. Yu Jingyi and Guan Ying didn't care. Anyway, they didn't have much hope. Leo's advertisements would have new faces to endorse every year. Instead of making the relationship awkward, they might as well look forward to the next cooperation. So even though they knew they were going to accompany the prince to study, they came happily and did their homework for the audition.
The one who should be most embarrassed is Yao Shuer.
Guan Ying carefully looked at Yao Shu'er in the mirror. It was said that Yao Shu'er had the best chance of getting the endorsement after Wei An withdrew from the competition, but Mr. Ou chose her assistant. Yao Shu'er was unlucky. She was about to become famous before, but her assistant Wei An suddenly appeared and took away her opportunity. Is history going to repeat itself on her
Yao Shuer sat silently in front of the dressing mirror while the makeup artist carefully combed her hair. She looked up at the clock on the wall, it was 3:10, because she looked up, the makeup artist accidentally didn't control the strength of his hand well, and immediately hurt Yao Shuer's hair, she frowned in pain.
"I'm sorry, Miss Yao."
The makeup artist quickly apologized.
Yao Shuer seemed to have not heard anything at all. She looked through the mirror at the entire makeup lounge. The remaining two makeup areas were empty. On the two makeup tables were each a name with a delicate white background and a golden rose pattern: "Ms. Shen Qiang" and "Ms. Yin Xiamo".
Zhen En listened to the nineteenth voice coming from her phone in frustration, "Sorry, the subscriber you dialed is powered off." What is Xia Mo doing? It's so frustrating! The official audition will start at 3:30, why hasn't she arrived yet! Although the young master has designated her, the audition may be just a formality, but if Xia Mo doesn't show up, things will definitely be bad! What happened? Is it because Xia Mo still hates the young master, so she would rather give up this opportunity than see him again? How can she be so stupid? What a great opportunity, it would be a pity to give it up! Zhen En was anxious and angry, and she didn't dare to ask Yao Shuer what to do, so she had to dial Xia Mo's phone again. "Sorry, the subscriber you dialed is powered off." Zhen En was so anxious that sweat covered her forehead and she wanted to throw her phone to the ground.
"Why hasn't Xia Mo arrived yet?"
Yao Shuer looked at Zhen En who looked anxious.
"I don't know," Zhen En scratched her hair anxiously, "I can't contact her. No one answered the phone at her home, and her cell phone was turned off." She wanted to contact Yin Cheng, but if Yin Cheng knew that Xia Mo was missing, he would definitely be worried.
"Does she know when the audition is?"
"I know." She called Xia Mo last night to remind her, and asked if she needed any special accessories or money. Xia Mo just smiled and said no, and she sounded very confident, so Zhen En was relieved. Who would have thought that this would happen? If she had known earlier, she should have gone out with Xia Mo.
"Xia Mo is a person who knows her limits." Yao Shuer thought for a moment, "Don't worry, she will definitely arrive on time."
"Really?"
Jane clasped her hands together and prayed desperately.
The afternoon sun shone coldly on the abandoned warehouse. A black car stopped at the door of the warehouse. A big man with tattoos on his shoulders got out of the car. He opened the rusty iron door of the warehouse with a "creaky sound". Another big man carried an unconscious girl out of the car. The girl's face was pale, her breathing was weak, and she slumped limply on the big man's shoulder, with her long seaweed-like hair hanging down.
The big man threw the girl in.
The girl fell heavily to the ground, still moaning in pain in her coma, her face pale and her body curled up unconsciously.
Two big men closed the iron gate.
There was a faint sound of conversation:
"You can't run away..."
"She inhaled so much ether that she wouldn't wake up for hours..."
"hey-hey… "
The sunlight shines through the iron window of the warehouse onto the girl's curled up body, so cold and chilly.
In the large conference room on the ninth floor of Leo Corporation, senior executives have already taken their seats, looking through the advertising copy and the procedures for today's audition in front of them. The cameraman walked to the camera position, and the staff of the advertising and public relations departments made a final check on the stage layout. The LCD screens in front of the senior executives' desks lit up.
At this time, the door of the conference room opened.
When Ou Chen walked in, all the senior executives stood up immediately. He nodded slightly and walked to the chairman's seat indifferently. The senior executives sat down and looked at each other. No one dared to speak loudly. That day, the young master appointed the newcomer Yin Xiamo as the advertising spokesperson. They did not dare to have any objection. However, the next day, the young master announced that he would only increase Yin Xiamo's chances of participating in the audition, and the final candidate would still be determined by the results of the audition.
This is the young master's style.
Cold, rigorous, and never based on personal feelings.
Otherwise, if the Ou Group only acted on emotions, it would never have been able to survive in the business world for such a long time and continue to expand in size.
However, was this audition just a formality to avoid criticism, or was it really going to depend on the stars' abilities? The senior executives could not tell from the young master's demeanor that the candidates were not qualified, and they were hesitant.
Three thirty.
Zhen En stood at the door of the dressing room desperately, looking around, praying that Xia Mo's figure would suddenly appear at the end of the corridor in the next second. The first person to audition was Yu Jingyi. If Xia Mo showed up immediately, maybe she would still be in time.
Yao Shuer looked up at the clock on the wall again, then picked up her phone and dialed Xia Mo's number. "Sorry, the number you dialed is turned off." She frowned, feeling a sour and complicated feeling in her heart.
The staff of the advertising department of Leo Company invited Yu Jingyi to the large conference room opposite to start the audition. Zhen En watched Yu Jingyi pass by her in frustration. Suddenly, an ominous thought flashed through her mind -
Xia Mo...
Could something have happened
The warehouse was cold and gloomy, and the sun shone obliquely through the tall iron windows onto Yin Xiamo's tightly closed eyes. After an unknown amount of time, her eyes moved under her eyelids, as if she wanted to open them, but her eyelids were as heavy as a mountain, and her eyeballs moved left and right with difficulty.
She still had a hint of clarity in her mind.
When she just walked out of the house and prepared to go to Leo Company, a black car suddenly stopped beside her, the door opened, and a hand suddenly stretched out from inside and abducted her into the car! Then, a handkerchief with a pungent smell was covered to her mouth and nose. It was ether. She immediately realized and struggled desperately, but the big man held her tightly. When she wanted to call for help, the ether rushed into her breath, and her brain was dizzy and she had no strength at all. In a flash, she could only choose to hold her breath, resist the anesthesia of ether as much as possible, and pretend to be unconscious and limp.
Maybe not pretending.
She must have really fainted at that time. She had no idea where she was now. She was too tired to even open her eyes. Go to sleep. The blood in her body flowed quietly like anesthesia. She felt so tired, as if she had been so tired since the day she was born. Why should she struggle? It would be better to just go to sleep. The tired voice flowing in her blood whispered to her.
She curled up on the ground.
There is dirty dirt under the pale face.
Her body was trembling slightly, like a homeless child who was extremely sleepy and tired in the middle of a winter night but was afraid that she would be frozen to death if she fell asleep.
Something must have happened!
The terrible thought lingered in Zhen En's mind. She stood in the corridor blankly, and the more she thought about it, the more terrified she felt. Something must have happened. With Xia Mo's personality, she would never be late. She said she would come, and she would definitely come. It was definitely not because she didn't want to see the young master.
Cold sweat trickled down Zhen'en's back.
So…
What will happen to Xia Mo...
It was a car accident...
still…
She was so frightened that she shivered and her lips turned pale. What should she do? If Xia Mo was really in trouble, what should she do? Should she contact Yin Cheng? But Yin Cheng's body would not be able to bear it...
The door to the large conference room was slightly ajar.
From Zhen'en's angle, she could see Ou Chen, who was watching Yu Jingyi auditioning on the stage, with an indifferent expression and a cold and arrogant jawline. Her eyes lit up and she bit her lips tightly.
Only the young master is left.
Only the young master can help Xia Mo!
In an abandoned warehouse.
The dust swirled in the cool sunlight.
Yin Xiamo was pale and weak as she curled up on the ground. Her fingertips trembled, and she gradually clenched her fingers towards her palms. She clenched them tighter and tighter, and her nails dug deep into her palms. She put all her strength into her fingertips and dug deep into her palms! A sharp pain came from her palms, and her mind gradually became clearer. Her nails dug deeper and deeper, and her palms were about to bleed. The pain made her brain more and more clear.
Finally, his eyes slowly opened.
Her eyes were still a little dull, moving slowly. The sunlight coming through the iron window made her dizzy, and she couldn't see clearly where she was. After a while, she struggled to sit up and realized that she was in an abandoned warehouse. The iron door of the warehouse was closed. The warehouse may have not been used for a long time. There were some scattered machine parts everywhere, covered with spider webs.
Yin Xiamo's strength seemed to be drained out, and her limbs were limp and unable to move. She knew it was the effect of the ether. Fortunately, she didn't inhale much, otherwise if she woke up a few hours later, it would be too late. Fortunately, the men who kidnapped her thought that she would definitely fall into a coma after inhaling ether, so they didn't tie her up. She secretly felt lucky and began to look for her cell phone.
But.
Nothing.
She was only wearing a thin navy blue dress without any pockets, and her handbag was gone.
She smiled bitterly.
Yes, how could they leave the phone for her
Looking at the closed iron door of the warehouse, she tried hard to stand up and walk over, but her limp legs made her unable to exert any strength at all, and the residual ether in her body also made her head dizzy and nauseous. At this time, she saw a rusty iron sheet on the ground, her eyes fixed, she took the iron sheet, wiped off the rust on the iron sheet as much as possible with the corner of her skirt, and then stabbed her own calf with the iron sheet!
Blood gushed out from the white calves!
She turned pale with pain.
As the pain brought her clarity, the ether in her body slowly dissipated like a failure. She stood up with great effort and walked towards the closed iron door step by step. Blood flowed down her legs onto the ground, dripping all the way to the iron door of the warehouse. Not knowing whether the men who had kidnapped her were outside the door, she held her breath and tried to push the door, not daring to make too much noise.
She closed her eyes in despair.
The door was locked.
Tears suddenly rushed into her eyes. Yin Xiamo leaned against the iron gate in despair and slowly knelt on the ground. Is this her fate? Even the best opportunities will slip through her fingers, and she is destined to spend her life in poverty and hardship.
Yu Jingyi has finished the audition.
The senior executives in the conference room were talking in low voices, and seemed to be quite satisfied with Yu Jingyi's performance. Ou Chen's expression was still indifferent and calm, as if he didn't care too much about anything that happened. The door of the conference room opened, and Yu Jingyi did not go back to the dressing room, but went directly to the elevator at the end of the corridor. The assistants waiting outside the door also followed her and left.
This is the only chance!
Zhen En rushed to the door of the conference room, not caring about her image anymore, and desperately waved at Ou Chen who was sitting inside, trying to call him out! Something must have happened to Xia Mo, and she might not be able to make it in time for the audition. Only the young master could help Xia Mo. No matter what the young master and Xia Mo had in the past, the young master was so nervous about Xia Mo in school before, he should, should still be willing to help Xia Mo!
Ou Chen didn't look over here.
He looked at the documents on the table expressionlessly.
Zhen En was so anxious that she jumped up and down, and waved at him even harder outside the door. The next person to audition was Guan Ying, and after that it would be Xia Mo's turn. There was no time left, and she had to tell the young master now, otherwise it would be bad if Xia Mo was disqualified! The senior executives in the conference room looked at Zhen En anxiously waving outside the door in surprise, not knowing what she wanted to do. The staff of the advertising department hurried out for fear that she would interfere with the audition. Zhen En rushed forward to ask the staff to ask the young master to come out, but she bumped into Guan Ying who was about to enter the conference room for an audition.
"oops!"
Guan Ying screamed and was almost knocked against the door of the conference room by Zhen En.
This small commotion finally made Ou Chen look up. He frowned slightly, first looked at the embarrassed Guan Ying, and then saw Zhen En with an anxious face.
"Master!"
Jane didn't care about anything else and just waved and shouted.
The senior executives in the conference room looked at each other in bewilderment. Could it be that this young assistant knew the young master? Ou Chen's face showed a slight displeasure. Simon came to him and whispered a few words. Simon nodded respectfully, and then Simon walked towards Zhen En.
Zhen En's mind was confused, and she immediately reacted. That's right, how could the young master remember who she was, and how could he come out just by her waving? The secretary who came over must be sending her away!
At this time, Yao Shuer heard the shouting and commotion and walked out of the makeup lounge. Seeing that it was Zhen En who caused the trouble, she frowned and shouted, "Zhen En, what are you doing?!"
Zhen En ignored Yao Shuer and continued to shout at Ou Chen:
"Master! Xia Mo..."
Hear these two words.
Ou Chen's body seemed a little stiff.
He slowly raised his head.
A strange expression flashed across his handsome and indifferent face. He looked at the girl who was desperately waving at him and calling "Xia Mo" and his eyes suddenly became dark. Amid the doubts of the senior executives, Ou Chen stood up. Guan Ying, who was about to start the audition on the stage, was completely stunned. Ou Chen strode towards Zhen En who was outside the door. Zhen En was immediately delighted, but Yao Shuer was already stunned.
Outside the meeting room of Leo Company.
The tall and handsome Ou Chen gives off an oppressive feeling.
He lowered his head and asked Jane:
"What's up?"
There seemed to be no emotion in his voice.
Zhen En was inexplicably nervous, and she swallowed a few times. In the past, in school, the young master was a high and mighty cold star, and a girl like her would never have the opportunity to get close to him. Being able to listen to the young master speak so closely was something she dared not even think about.
Ou Chen frowned.
Zhen En realized her own gaffe, her cheeks flushed, and she quickly said, "Master, Xia Mo might have had an accident, otherwise she wouldn't be late for the audition!"
"She hasn't arrived yet?"
Ou Chen's expression was stern.
"Yes, Master, you know that Xia Mo is never the kind of person who would be late," Zhen En was anxious, "I'm afraid she had an accident. If she can't make it to the audition, Master, you must help Xia Mo..."
Ou Chen took out his cell phone. He looked indifferent, but his fingers quickly pressed a number. Because he was worried that Yin Xiamo would refuse to audition because of his abruptness that day, he specially sent the driver A Chang to pick her up at noon. Now that he thought about it, A Chang never came back. Could it be that something unexpected really happened
He frowned.
Ah Chang's phone was connected, and a burst of hurried voices came from the other end of the line. Ou Chen's face became more and more serious. Suddenly, he put away his phone and strode towards the elevator at the end of the corridor.
"Master!"
"Master—!"
Zhen En shouted, at a loss, not knowing what was going on, and the young master seemed to have disappeared into thin air. She stood there stupidly for a long time before turning back, and suddenly found that Yao Shuer, Guan Ying, the senior executives in the conference room, and the assistants in the corridor were all open-mouthed in shock.
******
In a dilapidated and abandoned warehouse.
Yin Xiamo looked up at the tall iron window on the wall. There were four or five vertical iron bars on the iron window, and the sunlight shone in coldly. The iron window was located in a different direction from the warehouse door. If she could cut off one or two iron bars, she might be able to escape. She looked around the warehouse, but there were only messy and scrapped machines and equipment, no cloth strips or ropes, and a long rusty iron sheet on the ground, which was stained with her fresh blood.
She looked at her skirt and wondered whether to tear off some strips of cloth to wrap around the iron bar. Otherwise, if the iron bar cut her palm, the rust on it would be dangerous. After thinking about it, she pursed her lips. No, the skirt was already very short. If it was torn again, she would look naked. Although she didn't know the exact time, it must be very tight before the audition. She didn't have time to go home and change clothes. She absolutely couldn't appear in front of everyone in such a mess!
Yin Xiamo bit her lip and dragged some scrap machines scattered in various corners of the warehouse and piled them on the high iron window. She tried to make them as stable as possible. Then, she held the iron sheet in her hand, stepped on the scrap machines, grabbed the railing on the iron window, and stood high. Through the iron window, she looked out. It was an abandoned factory outside. There was no one in sight. Even if she shouted at the top of her lungs, no one would hear her. Fortunately, the big men who kidnapped her were nowhere to be seen. Perhaps they had left, or perhaps they were on the other side of the warehouse door.
She twisted the iron bar around the two iron window bars, using all her strength to twist the iron bars tightly. The iron bars dug deep into her palms. The iron bars tightened and the iron window bars gradually deformed and twisted. The iron sheet cut her palms, blood oozed out, dripping down her wrists, and she was in so much pain that cold sweat covered her forehead and back.
The iron bars became tighter and tighter.
The railings became increasingly twisted.
Under the high iron window, Yin Xiamo's snow-white arms were stained with bright red blood. The cold sweat on her back soaked her clothes. Her face was as pale as paper, but there seemed to be a fire in her eyes, so bright that it was amazing. She would definitely get out. She would never watch her opportunity slip away like that.
She doesn't want to live in poverty forever!
No one can stop her success!
Suddenly, a sports car drove towards the abandoned factory at a very fast speed, and it was almost in front of the warehouse in a blink of an eye. Yin Xiamo was secretly shocked, and she twisted the iron bars with both hands even harder. She felt a sharp pain in her palms, and she didn't care about much else. She used all her strength, and the iron window railings were twisted and twisted, as if they would break immediately.
The sports car disappeared in the direction of the warehouse's iron door.
There was a noise at the door.
There seemed to be some commotion and confusion.
Then another car drove towards the warehouse gate.
Yin Xiamo tightened the rusty iron bars with both hands, and with a dull "crack", the iron window bars were finally broken. However, because she used too much force, the power was temporarily lost after the iron bars were broken, and she had no place to exert her strength and fell straight back!
"Bang!"
She fell heavily to the ground!
It hurts so much, the sharp pain slowly spreads from her back to her limbs! Her face turned pale with pain, her lips trembled slightly, and she looked at the iron window that had just been twisted open in despair. Her willpower told her that she should immediately stand up again and escape through the window. However, she was in so much pain that she couldn't even curl up her fingers, and she heard the iron door of the warehouse being opened.
“Squeak!”
The iron door of the warehouse was pushed open with force!
Years of accumulated dust in the warehouse were blown up, swirling in the air. There seemed to be thousands of dazzling rays of sunlight at the iron gate, and the dust particles were flying in the air, as if they were also dyed by the sunlight, golden and dazzling.
There is a golden silhouette in the strong backlight.
That person is in thousands of rays of light.
It was so bright that Yin Xiamo couldn't open her eyes.
"How are you?"
The low, tense voice rushed into the ears of the painful Yin Xiamo. She stared at the dust flying in the sunlight absentmindedly, and suddenly she felt dazed. It was as if she had returned to a long, long time ago, when she and Xiao Cheng lived in the warm Yin family, with a generous father Yin and a virtuous mother Yin. There were beautiful cherry trees in the courtyard, twinkling stars in the night sky, and they ate together every day, as close as a family with blood ties.
That was probably her happiest time.
"Are you hurt?"
A pair of arms lifted her from the ground and held her into the man's chest. The man's breathing was a little tense and rapid. He seemed to want to hug her tightly, but was cautious as if afraid of hurting her.
She looked at the man blankly.
Intense dark green eyes, a slightly arrogant nose, slightly pale lips, and faint traces of a fight on his face. His expression was indifferent and distant, but his voice revealed tension and heartache.
It’s Ou Chen.
She was stunned, and a cool dew-like feeling quietly flowed through her heart, just like the night dew condensed on the petals of cherry blossoms in the old courtyard. In a trance, it seemed as if a long, long time ago, in the midsummer season, the little girl was lying quietly on the tree-lined avenue, with mottled sunlight filtering through the gaps between the leaves. When she saw him for the first time in her life, the young Ou Chen picked her up so nervously and asked her with a pale face if she was hurt.
She was only eleven years old at that time.
He is only fourteen years old.
"Does it hurt?"
In the golden sunlight, Ou Chen's voice was low and hoarse. Seeing the blood on her palms and legs, his heart suddenly ached. He held her up with his arms and strode towards the iron door of the warehouse.
"I'll take you to the hospital."
He held her tightly, as if if he held her tighter, she would feel less pain.
Hospital…
At this moment, all the realities have returned to her mind. She smiled bitterly. Dewdrops only belong to beautiful nights. When the sun rises, dewdrops will rise and disappear like mist.
Yin Xiamo was weakly held in his arms. She saw from afar that the two men who had kidnapped her were running away in a car with bruised faces and noses. Another man in uniform who looked like a driver was also injured. He wanted to chase the two men, but stopped after looking at Ou Chen. At this time, several police cars roared in from the gate of the abandoned factory.
"Master, you are injured."
Ah Chang looked at the wound on Ou Chen's cheek with worry. The young master asked him to pick up Miss Yin to the Leo Company for an audition. When he just arrived near Miss Yin's house, he saw her being pulled into a car. When he realized that she was kidnapped, the car had already sped away. He chased the car all the way and called the police at the same time, but the car seemed to be driven by a motorcycle gang and he couldn't catch up. When the young master called, he had just learned from the police that the criminals might be in the direction of the abandoned factory. Who knew that the young master arrived faster than him. Although Leo Company is relatively close to the abandoned factory, the young master must have driven all the way here. It was also the first time he knew that the young master was so good at fighting.
"Thank you."
Yin Xiamo said softly, with a soft feeling in her voice. He was startled, and looked down at her in his arms. Her eyes were filled with star-like tears, and her lips were as pale as lilies.
Ou Chen's heart suddenly became silent.
He suddenly wanted to touch her cheek with his fingers, gently, just touch her gently. Why did she always make him heartbroken so easily
"But… "
She smiled faintly at him.
"... Could you please send me to Leo Company for an audition?"
"No! You have to go to the hospital."
Ou Chen's face darkened and he held her in his arms and strode towards the sports car. There were wounds on her palms and legs, and blood was still gushing out. He also saw blood on the iron sheet on the ground. If it was caused by the iron sheet, then the rust on the iron sheet would most likely give her tetanus.
"I'm going to audition."
Her voice was still soft, yet clear and firm.
Ou Chen stuffed her into the car and fastened her seat belt. Then he started the car in silence without answering her. He had decided to drive directly to the nearest hospital.
Yin Xiamo turned her head and stared at him.
His appearance is still as handsome and indifferent as before, so is his personality still the same as before, even though Butler Shen said that he has lost his memory.
"If you won't send me to the audition, please let me go on my own."
As she said this, she unbuckled her seat belt.
“Is the audition more important than the body?”
Ou Chen said hoarsely, his hands clenched on the steering wheel.
"I know my body very well," she said calmly, "It's just some bleeding, it won't be a big deal. Compared to this minor injury, the audition is more important."
The sports car is as fast as lightning.
She put her finger on the door lock and looked at him quietly:
"Do you want me to go to Leo Company by myself?"
Ou Chen's jaw was clenched tightly, his eyes flashed dark green with anger, and his face was so cold that it seemed like ice. Finally, he closed his eyes, turned the steering wheel with both hands, and the sports car sped away in the direction of Leo Company!
Yin Xiamo looked out the car window quietly.
Although I have lost my memory.
But.
He is still himself.
She smiled faintly.
******
When the lavender elevator door opened and Ou Chen carried Yin Xiamo towards the large conference room for the audition, Guan Ying, Yao Shuer, and their assistants in the corridor were all stunned, and the employees of Leo Company were also all stunned.
"Xia Mo!"
Zhen En couldn't help but rush over, almost crying with excitement. She wanted to ask her why she was late, and urged her to put on makeup and prepare for the audition, but suddenly she found that Xia Mo in the young master's arms was not only pale but also stained with blood.
"Are you hurt?!"
Jane screamed in shock.
"I'm fine." Yin Xiamo smiled gently at Zhen En, then looked up at Ou Chen who was holding her, and whispered, "Can you put me down?" Even though her leg was slightly injured, she could walk on her own, but Ou Chen ignored her struggles and protests and just carried her up.
Ou Chen didn't say anything.
He gently put her on the ground, glanced at her, and walked silently into the meeting room amid everyone's astonishment.
"Is the audition over?" Yin Xiamo's gaze collided with Guan Ying and Yao Shu'er in the air. Guan Ying looked at her with a little curiosity, and Yao Shu'er's eyes were a little dim.
"not yet!"
Jane pulled her up and ran to the makeup lounge, not noticing that her hand suddenly winced in pain. After the young master hurriedly left Leo Company, the remaining senior executives looked at each other, not knowing whether to continue the audition or wait for the young master to come back. Later, the young master's secretary Simon said that if the young master didn't come back for an hour, the audition would continue. Thank God, the young master finally came back with Xia Mo, so it's not too late!
Zhen En pressed Yin Xiamo into the dressing chair, and while shouting for the makeup artist to come and put makeup on Xiamo quickly, she hurriedly brought over two gorgeous princess dresses. Because Shen Qiang did not come, there were still two princess dresses left to choose from, one short sea blue one, and one long white one.
"Xia Mo, which one do you like?"
Ah, she had to help Xia Mo change her clothes quickly.
"Wait a moment."
Yin Xiamo smiled apologetically at Zhenen and the makeup artist, then stood up and walked to the bathroom. She came to the sink and turned on the faucet. The water was running. She rinsed her hands with water. The palms of her hands felt stinging, and the running water was stained with blood red.
She frowned slightly in pain.
She couldn't audition in front of everyone while bleeding and in a mess.
Wash the blood off your palms and arms.
She scooped up a handful of water and began to clean the wound on her calf. The wound on her leg had gradually coagulated, but there was still a little dried blood.
suddenly.
She stared at her wound in shock, and her eyes suddenly lit up like stars.
*******
After the audition, Guan Ying did not leave. She sat in the corner of the conference room and watched Yao Shuer's performance. Yao Shuer was indeed a senior. She was very devoted during the audition. Her sad eyes and pitiful expression made her look like a mermaid princess in a fairy tale. Guan Ying thought to herself, no wonder it was rumored in the circle a while ago that after the Vivian scandal, Yao Shuer was basically confirmed to be the spokesperson for this advertisement. She is indeed quite capable.
Unfortunately, Yin Xiamo appeared out of nowhere.
Who exactly is Yin Xiamo
Guan Ying couldn't help but secretly look at Ou Chen. He was the legendary young master of the Ou Group. He was handsome and heroic with a noble indifference, which made her, who was used to seeing handsome men in the entertainment industry, fascinated by him. Yin Xiamo should be his lover. He walked out of the elevator with her in his arms. He stared into her eyes, so he left the advertising opportunity to her.
This circle has always been like this; strength is far less important than various relationships.
Guan Ying sighed.
But why did Yao Shuer go through the trouble of auditioning so enthusiastically? Since it was obviously just a formality to play a supporting role in Yin Xiamo's election, taking it too seriously would only end up hurting herself.
Yao Shuer did not leave after the audition.
She sat down next to Guan Ying.
Guan Ying smiled at her respectfully, and Yao Shuer smiled back politely, but her smile was a little absent-minded, and her eyes were looking at the door of the conference room, with an unpredictable expression on her face. According to the original order, Yao Shuer should have been the last to audition, but because Yin Xiamo was late, in order to give her time to prepare for makeup, Yao Shuer was temporarily transferred to the third position.
Guan Ying secretly felt sorry for Yao Shu'er. According to the convention in the industry, Yin Xiamo should be automatically disqualified for being late, so how could Yao Shu'er be allowed to go on stage early
The door to the conference room opened again.
Everyone looked over. The sun shone through the glass window onto the girl in the sea-blue princess dress. She walked onto the audition stage with a calm expression. The camera was focused on her figure. Her fair face appeared on the LCD screens in front of the senior executives. Ou Chen slowly raised his head and looked at her. But she was looking ahead quietly. Her long hair was as thick as seaweed, her eyes were amber, her short princess dress, her long white legs, and she was as beautiful as an elf in the ocean.
Ou Chen's eyes suddenly fixed.
On her white legs.
The bright red blood was flowing down slowly.
His brows were furrowed.
Then she held the microphone with both hands, smiled, and began to sing:
“…
In a distant fairy tale
There is a little mermaid under the sea
She has long blond hair
She longed for the beautiful world on the sea.
… ”
The clear singing voice broke through the air, the beauty of the timbre was enough to stop one's breath, without any musical accompaniment, the melody of the song was so beautiful, so beautiful that it was like the scenery in a fairy tale. The singing was sweet and happy, Yin Xiamo's smile was gentle, and her eyes were filled with deep emotions like the sea. Her singing seemed to have a refreshing sea breeze, the sea surface was full of brilliant sunshine, and fine and fragmented golden light.
Blood flowed quietly down her calves.
Her singing was of happiness and joy.
There was a hint of sadness in that happiness.
“…
When She Met Her Prince
She understood that the world is so beautiful because of love
Want to see him
I want to hear his gentle words
The little mermaid cut off her tail
When the blood flows
Her smile is as happy as a flower
You can't go back to the bottom of the sea
You can't speak anymore
The little mermaid met her prince
Her smile is as beautiful as a flower
… ”
Guan Ying was stunned.
When she saw Yao Shuer's audition just now, she thought that Yao Shuer's performance had already been the best, so pitiful and so sad.
But-
Yin Xiamo was happy.
The happy singing echoed in the conference room. Yin Xiamo's smile was gentle and beautiful. The sun shone gently on her, like a girl in love. Her expression was shy and sweet. However, there was a faint sadness in her voice, as if even in the deepest love, she still knew that love was just a fleeting illusion, just like the sun on the sea, which would disappear when the night came.
So happy.
So sad.
The two emotions were subtly mixed in her. Her singing seemed transparent, and her happiness and sorrow seemed transparent as well, so transparent that it reminded everyone of their own happiness and sorrow.
Moreover, the song she sang was something I had never heard before. Could it be her original creation? Guan Ying's heart darkened, and she suddenly felt a little disappointed. The entertainment industry is indeed full of hidden talents. Even newcomers are so shocking.
“…
When a prince marries his princess
Little mermaid crying
Her legs were still bleeding.
Why did her passion disappear
When a prince marries his princess
The little mermaid turned into foam in the sea
She cried in the sea
Her legs were still bleeding.
Why did her love disappear
… ”
The sun was bright and peaceful, blood was flowing down her legs in a thrilling manner, white skin, red blood, and a suffocating sadness in the air. In this sad atmosphere, she smiled and sang, but tears were gleaming in her eyes. In a trance, she was like the little mermaid in a distant fairy tale country, shedding tears and looking at the sleeping prince, a sad little mermaid...
“…
In a distant fairy tale
There are countless tiny bubbles on the blue sea
Is every bubble a little mermaid
Is she still crying
Do you still think this world is so beautiful
… ”
There is still happiness in the sad song. When the little mermaid in the fairy tale kingdom turns into foam and dies, the foam will be illuminated by the sun and fly to the seven-color rainbow. She can still see her beloved prince and still have her beautiful love...
There is a little happiness in Yin Xiamo's singing...
Floating...
Slowly drifting in the air...
The air in the conference room is clear and fragrant.
Ou Chen stared at her deeply, Guan Ying looked at her blankly, Yao Shuer's eyes dimmed completely, the senior executives of Leo Company all forgot to breathe, and the assistants outside the door seemed to be immersed in a fairy tale dream.
Jane's heart slowly settled down and she smiled happily.
Xia Mo won.
******
Anhe Hospital.
The evening clouds reflected the sky red, and through the window of the ward, the sunset glowed warmly, and the snow-white sheets were also stained with warmth. The nurse held the tray, and the doctor first gave Yin Xiamo a tetanus shot, and then carefully cleaned her wounds. Her palms were severely injured, and the rust of the iron sheet was faintly visible. The wound was slightly turned outward, and the blood coagulated into dark red at the edge. The wound on the leg was relatively fresh, as if it had been split twice, and the blood was bright red.
When applying disinfectant to the wound, Yin Xiamo's lips turned pale due to the excruciating pain. Ou Chen placed his hands on her shoulders and gently held her tightly, as if giving her strength in silence. She looked up at him, but he didn't look at her, just staring at her wound, frowning.
Originally, after the audition, she was going to leave Leo Company with Zhen En, but Ou Chen's car was waiting outside the company. He let Zhen En go first, then stuffed her into the car and drove straight to the hospital without giving her any chance to refuse.
"Since you have suffered such a serious injury, you must go to the hospital in time next time, otherwise the rust may cause tetanus." The doctor advised and bandaged Yin Xiamo's wound with gauze.
Ou Chen nodded.
Without hearing Yin Xiamo's voice, he looked at her, and his heart suddenly tightened. He found that she was looking at him quietly, with a trance in her amber eyes, as if she was looking at him, and as if she saw through him to a distant place. After meeting his gaze, she regained her usual indifference in just a moment, making him doubt that it was just his illusion.
"thank you."
Yin Xiamo answered the doctor in a low voice, and then asked:
"Can I go back now?"
She was a little tired and wanted to go home very much. Although Xiao Cheng didn't quite understand her desire to enter the entertainment industry, he must have prepared a meal for her at home.
"It's OK." said the doctor.
"Thanks."
Yin Xiamo stood up, and suddenly, she felt dizzy, stars flashed before her eyes, and her body swayed slightly. Ou Chen supported her in time.
"What?" he asked in a serious tone.
"Maybe you're tired." She smiled at him, "Just go home and rest for a while."
"Please give her an IV."
Ou Chen spoke to the doctor in a deep voice as he helped her back to the bed.
"Need not."
She was slightly startled and said hurriedly, struggling to get up from the bed, but he pushed her back and turned to look at the doctor, with a look in his eyes that could not be disobeyed. The doctor seemed to be controlled by his momentum, and ignored Yin Xiamo's explanation and refusal, and asked the nurse to get the bottle and prepare to give her an infusion.
"I'm just a little tired. I don't need an IV."
The nurse tried to grab her wrist, but her hand slipped away and the nurse missed. Although Yin Xiamo tried to remain calm, her face darkened. She knew her own body very well. This dizziness didn't need an IV. Now she just wanted to go home.
"You have to have an IV."
Ou Chen said coldly, holding her arm and gently pressing it on the bed. Although the force was light, it was like an iron hoop and she couldn't break free.
"you… "
Yin Xiamo was shocked. He was so overbearing. He would never listen to any explanation for anything he had determined. It was like this five years ago, and it would be the same five years later? ! But... She suddenly remembered the sunshine on his body when he rushed into the warehouse to save her in the afternoon. She sighed silently and finally gave up the struggle of protest.
The needle pierced Yin Xiamo's wrist.
The transparent liquid flows quietly in the infusion tube.
The doctor and nurse left.
The sunset glowed red in the sky outside the window, and he and she were the only two people left in the ward.
Yin Xiamo was half-leaning on the hospital bed, looking a little tired. Since she was kidnapped when she went out at noon, she tried to escape and was rescued by Ou Chen, and then went to the audition, she had not stopped for a moment. Now that she was quiet, the strong tiredness seemed to drown her. She was too lazy to think about anything, who wanted to kidnap her and why, and how Ou Chen found her.
This moment.
She just wanted to sleep quietly for a while.
Fatigue came over me.
She closed her eyes tiredly.
"Five years ago..." Ou Chen stood by the window, the sunset glowing through the glass, shrouding him in beautiful light, "...we..."
There was a hint of hesitation in his tone.
But in a flash.
He made up his mind, his voice low and tense and hoarse:
"We know each other, right?"
As if struck by lightning, Yin Xiamo's body suddenly stiffened, her lips turned snow-white, and her eyelashes suddenly lifted!
