It's not that Hua Zhao is deliberately finding fault, but that these accessories are really difficult for her to catch.
Thinking of her as a princess in a country, she has never seen any good things, food and clothing are all high-quality goods, even a toothpick for picking teeth is carved.
After she went to the VIP room, she told the staff that she wanted to buy a set of jewelry as a gift, and the staff immediately notified several luxury jewelry stores under her. The sas carried velvet trays and walked in one by one, showing her the boutiques in the store one by one.
If the suit on sa was replaced with a court lady's attire, this posture would really allow Her Royal Highness to regain her former three-point glory.
It's a pity that she looked around, but she couldn't find the jewelry she wanted.
Hua Zhao does not appreciate diamonds and platinum at all, she only likes gold, as long as it is gold. Dazzling gold with pearls, tourmalines, sapphires, and red jadeites is a good thing worthy of Xingfei
But she looked at several sets of gold jewelry, one set was more old-fashioned than the other, even the old maids in the palace who had never married all their lives looked down on such vulgar things
When she was young, her doting father gave her a small gold mine as her private treasury, and dozens of craftsmen specialized in mining gold to make jewelry for her.
Hua Zhao is very puzzled, why can't make a jewelry pattern that can be made a thousand years ago
But she quickly figured it out—the current craftsmen, no, jewelry designers, no matter how ugly they are, the worst thing is to deduct their wages; decapitated.
Modern society is so strange.
If you have poor acting skills, you don't need to be beheaded;
Why.
Hua Zhao especially misses the set of clothes and jewelry she wore when she traveled through time. She remembers that a pearl hairpin was left in the museum at that time. Now that she thinks about it, her intestines are green with regret.
In the end, sa resorted to a big move, and finally took hold of the treasure of the town store-a set of three-piece jewelry set with 24k gold filigree hollowed out and inlaid with emeralds. Hua Zhao finally fell in love with it, but the price was far beyond her affordability.
five hundred and eighty-eight thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight yuan
She fumbled in her pocket, but couldn't even get out 80,000 yuan.
She said confidently: "It's too expensive and over budget."
Sa has been tossed by her for so long, and she thought she could make a big deal, but when she heard her say that, she was almost so angry that she would fight prematurely.
Sa barely maintained the smile on his face, and asked softly: "Then, Miss Cheng, what is your budget?"
Hua Zhao: "Less than ten thousand."
sa: ""
sa left with hatred.
It is foreseeable that when this SA returns home from work, she will put on a vest and anonymously leak the news on the Internet. The first reaction of the people who eat melons is not to guess who Xiao Hua with the surname C is, but to count the number of seven digits with their fingers.
After sa left, Zhuo Yi, who had endured by the side for a long time, finally said, "If I had known you only had such a small budget, I wouldn't have brought you here."
Hua Zhao's eyes brightened: "There are other places where you can buy cheap gold."
Zhuo Yi: "Yes, that's it."
As he said that, the man stretched out his hand, loosened his fingers, and a piece of golden gold coin chocolate fell into Hua Zhao's palm.
Hua Zhao: "" She turned her head and saw that the piece in her hand was exactly the same as the hospitality chocolate provided on the coffee table.
Borrowing flowers and presenting Buddhas is not so cheap.
Zhuo Yi: "I don't know who you want to give the gold to. But the budget of 10,000 yuan is used to buy gold coins and chocolates, which is enough for that person to eat in the next life."
""
Who would have thought that a bodyguard would laugh at his "boss" for being stingy.
After a while, the door of the VIP lounge was pushed open again.
It's just that the person who walked in this time was not the kind service staff, but the person Hua Zhao didn't want to see at the moment—Shen Yuxiu.
Damn, isn't he participating in some ribbon-cutting event below? Why did he come to the VIP room
The appearance of Shen Yuxiu seemed to trigger some mechanism in Hua Zhao's body. He was like a small animal seeing a natural enemy, the hairs all over his body stood on end, and he felt uncomfortable all over.
But losers don't lose. The more nervous Hua Zhao is, the more straight he sits, and the more impeccable his smile.
Shen Yuxiu walked into the lounge with his manager, Shi Ge. He unbuttoned the last button of his suit, and sat down on the sofa opposite her with an elegant posture.
"Miss Cheng, let's meet again." Shen Yuxiu brought up a topic, and exchanged greetings like old friends, "Come here for shopping"
Hua Zhao replied bluntly, "I'm not here to go shopping."
"That's coming"
"Rub the air conditioner."
""
Si Ge on the side coughed twice, trying to hold back his laughter.
Shen Yuxiu didn't seem to understand Hua Zhao's perfunctory, and asked again: "I gave Miss Cheng my contact information before, but I haven't waited for you to contact me until today. Are you not interested in my movie role invitation?"
Hua Zhao was taken aback. After she gave Cheng Xingfei her business card, she didn't ask about the follow-up. She thought that Xing Fei had already passed Shen Yuxiu's audition, but who would have thought that Xing Fei hadn't contacted him at all
What can Hua Zhao say
"Uh" she forcefully found a reason, "It's a long story, when I was doing laundry that day, your business card was in my pocket, and it was ruined by the washing machine."
"You were wearing a skirt with no pockets that day."
Hua Zhao immediately changed her words: "I remembered, it wasn't the skirt, it was put in the bag that I carried with me. I accidentally knocked over the water, and the bag was soaked."
"The bag you brought that day is today's one. It doesn't look like it's been watered."
"" Hua Zhao almost hit the wall. Does Shen Yuxiu have a photographic memory? She even remembers exactly what she was wearing and what bag she was wearing that day
Just when the scene was in an embarrassing situation, a very loud noise suddenly came from outside. The noise was different from normal human voices. It sounded like someone was screaming hysterically.
The voice was extremely penetrating, even though they were in a soundproof VIP room, it still clearly reached their ears.
Hua Zhao jumped up from the sofa, ran to the window, and stared around with round eyes.
When she saw what was happening outside, her brows were tightly frowned——
——At the guardrail next to the patio on the second floor, a pregnant woman with a big belly was sitting dangerously astride the railing. She supported her belly with one hand and held the railing tightly with the other.
A man stood close beside her. Holding a sharp fruit knife in his hand, he pointed at the pregnant woman, it seems that he forced the pregnant woman to climb the railing
This shopping mall has two basement floors and three floors above the ground. The place where the pregnant woman is located is more than 20 meters above the ground. If she slips and falls, the consequences will be disastrous
"Old Hu, Lao Hu, I beg you, don't do this." The pregnant woman cried, trembling all over, begging the man opposite, "Let's go back to our hometown and live a good life, don't be like this, okay? You have me, you have a child, and when the child is born, Let's start over, shall we?"
"What do you know, woman?" The man roared hoarsely, "If I don't get paid, what will I have to support you and the baby, and what will I have to go back to my hometown to build a house?"
The woman was obviously very afraid of him, the more he yelled, the more her body trembled, her whole body was on the verge of falling, as if she was about to fall at any moment
A few meters away from them, there were more than a dozen staff members wearing business suits, the leader of which was a male manager about 40 years old, with an anxious expression on his face, he kept reassuring the couple.
The manager of the mall: "You are the old Hu from the security department, right? What are you doing? Don't be impulsive and let your wife come down. You can talk to me about anything. What are you forcing your wife to do?"
"Fuck, I asked you before and you fired me, and you didn't pay me compensation. I came to you several times, but you didn't see me." The man named Lao Hu had a grim expression, and he spat on the ground , "I can't get money, the family can only drink northwest wind, why not fall to death together here, aren't you known as a high-end shopping mall, I want to see, how can you sell three lives of our family of three?" thing"
There was a lot of noise downstairs, and the original normal order in the mall was completely disrupted. Customers who were shopping stopped and looked over there.
Although the dialogue between the three people was only a few sentences, it was enough for everyone to piece together the truth.
——The shopping mall fired a security guard for some reason. If the security guard couldn't get paid, he dragged his pregnant wife over to ask for salary, and even threatened to fall to his death here together.
Hua Zhao's violent temper came up immediately: "Does this man have a head? No matter what enmity he has with this mall, he actually forced himself to marry his wife and seek death. Is he still a man?"
I don't know when Shen Yuxiu also came to the window. He witnessed the farce below, and echoed in a deep voice: "Not only is he not a man, he is not a human at all."
Although Zhuo Yi didn't speak, he cracked his fists and seemed quite angry.
At this moment, the door of the VIP room opened again, and the staff who had served them just now came in and apologized to them respectfully: "Sorry to bother you two. There is an emergency in our mall, and we have to suspend business immediately , please follow me, and I will send you two to leave through the emergency passage."
When such an emergency occurred in the shopping mall, the shopping mall sent people to send the VIPs away first, which fully complied with the emergency regulations.
Brother Shi nodded and looked at his artist: "Yu Xiu, let's go first."
But Shen Yuxiu didn't move, neither did Hua Zhao beside her.
Hua Zhao directly asked the staff member, "How do you plan to deal with the following matters?"
This question was quite unexpected, and the staff was stunned for a few seconds before quickly answering: "Uh, we have already notified the police and fire, but it will take some time for them to arrive."
"How long is one o'clock?" Hua Zhao pointed to the pregnant woman who was sitting on the railing, "Her belly is so big, it will be eight months instead of nine months. She is so nervous now, she may fall at any time, even if she doesn't Falling down, she was so excited, what if she gave birth suddenly?"
Before she finished speaking, the situation below changed again.
I just heard the store manager say: "Old Hu, compensation can be discussed, don't get excited, you can ask for as much compensation as you want, don't do stupid things"
When Lao Hu heard this, a greedy look suddenly appeared on his face: "Isn't it good to be so straightforward earlier? Then I want one hundred thousand, one million, I want one million, this is what your mall owes me."
He is completely talking about the lion's mouth, not to mention how much his original salary is per month. His demand for compensation of 100,000 has exceeded the limit, and now the price has suddenly risen to 1 million. This is obviously a blatant extortion
But the situation is not in control. The manager of the shopping mall just wants to calm down the matter, as long as he is tricked first, the rest will be easy to talk about.
The store manager gritted his teeth: "Okay, one million is one million."
"I want cash"
The manager of the shopping mall was in a hurry: "How can I get a million cash in cash? I can let the finance directly transfer to your bank account, okay?"
"No, I want cash and you are all liars. How can such a big shopping mall not have a million cash?"
The manager of the shopping mall was in a cold sweat. Now customers are paying by mobile phone and credit card. The daily turnover does not add up to much cash. If you go to the bank to withdraw money temporarily, you are not sure if there is so much
Seeing the hesitation on the manager's face, Lao Hu thought he was lying to him, and his expression suddenly became more terrifying.
He yelled: "If I don't see a million cash today, all of you will die here." After finishing speaking, he tore off his coat, revealing what was inside the clothes - on him, There are several earth cannons tied one after another
Earth cannon is the name of the countryside. In some rural areas, some people can make it, open mountains and blow up rivers and ponds. Who would have thought that this lunatic named Lao Hu would tie these earth cannons to his body
Although the power of the earth cannon is limited, if it is detonated
Seeing this, Shi Ge immediately held Shen Yuxiu tightly: "Don't watch the fun here, let's go."
He is an agent, and his first priority is to ensure the safety of his artists. Other than that, everything else is false
He dragged Shen Yuxiu out of the VIP room, and forced him into the elevator. Zhuo Yi escorted Hua Zhao to follow and walked in.
There was silence in the entire elevator, the elevator door was closed, Hua Zhao's face was reflected in the reflective mirror, a cold light flashed in her eyes, I don't know what she was thinking.
The elevator descended rapidly, but when the elevator stopped on the second floor, a slender hand suddenly pressed the door open button
The elevator door opened, and before everyone could react, Hua Zhao suddenly ran out of the elevator
Her speed was too fast, Shen Yuxiu felt as if a gust of wind was blowing beside her in a daze, Zhuo Yi groaned inwardly, but he couldn't catch up with Hua Zhao's speed.
At this moment, they all vaguely guessed what Hua Zhao was going to do.
The high heels hit the marble floor, making a series of crisp sounds. Hua Zhao broke into the confrontation alone, like a lone warrior.
Her appearance was beyond everyone's expectation.
The store manager looked at her in surprise, not understanding why this well-known actress came here.
Lao Hu was amazed by her appearance. She was astonishingly beautiful. Even though she was dressed in a clean and simple way, people still couldn't take their eyes off her. She was completely different from the crying yellow-faced woman beside her.
"Who are you and why are you here?" Seeing such a beautiful woman, Lao Hu couldn't help lowering his voice by an octave, but he still maintained his vigilance.
"I'll replace her." Hua Zhao pointed to the pregnant woman who was on the verge of fainting at any time, "You let a pregnant woman with a big belly take such a big risk, even if you get the money, the wife and children are gone, so what's the point?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned.
what did she say
She actually said——she wants to use herself to replace the pregnant woman sitting on the patio railing
Did she not see what was on Lao Hu, or did she not know how tall the building was
All the onlookers recognized her identity, and they talked a lot. They didn't understand why "Cheng Xingfei" would be so stupid. A dignified female celebrity would risk her own safety for a criminal.
Just as Hua Zhao finished speaking, another voice rang out.
"No, I'll go there." The person who spoke was Shen Yuxiu who had rushed over. He stood in front of Hua Zhao, blocked her, and shouted at Lao Hu, "Let's deal with men's affairs, you Let go of your wife, I'll go over"
The discussion among the onlookers became louder——what day is it today? Not to mention a well-known Xiaohua, but also an international actor
Two people are vying to be the hostages of criminals, are they just putting on a show, or are they really putting their own safety behind
"No, I'll go." As a bodyguard, Zhuo Yi stepped forward and stood beside Hua Zhao. He whispered to her, "Your Highness, please stop being so impulsive. If anything happens to you, boss My salary will be deducted."
Hua Zhao was anxious, and pushed a person away with one hand: "Shen Yuxiu, Zhuo Yi, don't make trouble for me"
The three of them all said they wanted to be hostages, but Lao Hu looked at this and then that, and suddenly began to curse.
"Damn it, are you being an idiot?" Lao Hu waved the knife in his hand and shouted, "A fake foreign devil with blue eyes, and a big stupid man with a scar on his head, how could I want a man as a hostage? That woman, I think you look familiar, you are a star, what is your name, that princess?"
He couldn't remember the name of "Cheng Xingfei", but he had seen advertisements all over the street, and knew that she had played a very well-known role, so he simply used the name of the role to refer to her.
Hua Zhao nodded, her voice was clear and clear, full of pride: "That's right, I am Princess Hua Zhao."
"It's up to you, Your Royal Highness." The tip of the knife in Lao Hu's hand pointed at her, his eyes narrowed, and he smiled wretchedly, "Don't have any wrong thoughts, be honest, come and be my hostage."
