Chapter 339 Envy

May 1st is the day when the "Flowers" group sets out.

Early in the morning, Liu Tao was the first to arrive at Area E of Terminal T3 of Capital International Airport.

This big star, who is known for her virtuous character in the circle, sat in the rest area, wearing sunglasses, making it difficult to see her expression.

After a while, the sound of luggage wheels was heard not far away, accompanied by cheerful laughter, and tour guides Yang Zi and Jia Jingwen walked over side by side.

The two just happened to meet at the entrance and walked together. One was youthful and the other was elegant and calm.

Yang Zi trotted a few steps, took off the backpack on her shoulders, and wiped the sweat from her forehead: "Sister Tao, you're here really early!"

"I just got here a while ago."

Jia Jingwen's beautiful face showed a loving expression. She put her phone to her lips and tapped with her fingertips:

"Angel, Mommy has arrived at the airport. You stay at home and listen to grandma. Wait for Mommy to bring you a gift when she returns from Europe."

"Swoosh!" After sending the voice message, Jia Jingwen sat down next to Liu Tao.

"Mommy, you have to come back early!" A few seconds later, the cell phone dinged, and a baby's voice came out from the speaker, making the big star's face even gentler.

"Sister Wen, how old is your daughter?" Liu Tao couldn't help but think of his own two children.

“Six years old!”

"That's when it's naughty."

The two big stars chatted enthusiastically about parenting and shared their experiences as mothers with each other.

When Jia Jingwen learned that Liu Tao's youngest son was only two years old, she was very surprised: "How can a child so young be away from you?"

Yang Zi also looked at Liu Tao curiously.

Liu Tao looked a little unnatural, his eyes dimmed behind his sunglasses, and he sighed helplessly, "Why did you come? For the money!"

Her appearance fee is 800,000 yuan. If it wasn't to pay off her husband's debt, why would she participate in "Flowers and Youth"? She knew the program team's intention in inviting her.

It's nothing more than comparing her with Liu Shishi. Both are female stars, but one married the richest man, enjoyed unlimited glory, and was recognized as the best married woman in the entertainment industry, while the other married into a pseudo-rich family and returned to work to pay off her debts shortly after marriage.

Such a sharp contrast is so ironic that just thinking about it can cause a lot of discussion.

I couldn't express my pain in words, so I could only find an excuse to deal with it: "The child has someone to take care of him, and it's time to wean him."

Seeing Liu Tao's low tone, Jia Jingwen and Yang Zi remembered that there was a report two years ago that Liu Tao had just given birth to a child and had to take care of her depressed husband, so they skipped the topic at the same time.

The atmosphere was a little stagnant for a moment.

At this moment, Yang Zi accidentally saw a group of people walking towards this side, and immediately exclaimed: "Oh, Senior Sister Shi and Mr. Song are here, so cool!"

Liu Tao and Jia Jingwen turned around when they heard the sound.

The richest man was seen pushing a suitcase with one hand and answering the phone with the other. He had an upright posture and outstanding demeanor. From time to time, he looked down at his little wife in front of him with a doting look on his face.

Liu Shishi's eyebrows were curved into a pair of crescents. She tilted her head and stared at her husband. She sat on the suitcase with her legs curled up. Her black gauze skirt outlined her slender calves, revealing her ankles as white as jade. She looked very leisurely.

That sweet feeling of happiness can make everyone around them feel the love between the two.

Song Ci pushed Liu Shishi forward slowly and came to the front of the Hua Shao group: "I'm going to hang up first, we'll talk later."

Liu Shishi jumped lightly, stood up from the suitcase, stood beside her husband and held his arm.

"Mr. Song!" "Hello, Mr. Song!"

The three female stars immediately stood up and greeted respectfully.

Song Ci nodded slightly, turned sideways and whispered to his wife, "Shishi, have a nice trip, call me when you arrive in Rome."

"Bye, husband!" Liu Shishi smiled sweetly, not paying any attention to the camera beside her. She stood on tiptoes in full view of everyone and gave her husband a gentle kiss on the cheek, showing their love.

The bodyguard put down the luggage, and Song Ci and Liu Shishi said goodbye reluctantly before leaving with their group.

The big boss walked away, Yang Zi exhaled and slumped in the chair: "Every time I see the chairman, I get so nervous."

"Not really. My husband is a very gentle person."

Yang Zi silently complained in her heart, that's for you! She saw with her own eyes that Zhang Zhao, Zhuang Liqi and other company executives were trembling in front of Song Ci, and they were scared to death.

"Shishi, Mr. Song loves you very much, you are so happy." Jia Jingwen looked envious, and when she thought of her unhappy marriage, a trace of loneliness flashed in her eyes.

Liu Tao's fingertips trembled slightly. In front of the camera, he suppressed his inner jealousy and tried hard to maintain a decent smile.

The happy and loving scene between Liu Shishi and Song Ci just now was like a thorn in her heart. She was really afraid that she would not be able to control her emotions and do something unwise.

The gathering of four glamorous female stars, plus the surrounding camera crews, quickly attracted the attention of airport passengers.

Passersby immediately gathered around, and people came to ask for autographs and take photos, and the scene was a little chaotic for a while.

Liu Shishi, Jia Jingwen and others were overwhelmed and managed to escape with the help of the program team and airport staff and hid in a VIP lounge.

"The fans are so crazy! Senior Sister Shi, you have so many fans!" Thinking of the scene where she was surrounded and blocked by fans just now, Yang Zi was still frightened, and at the same time she was extremely envious of Liu Shishi's popularity.

Just now, the most people were looking for Liu Shishi's autograph. Jia Jingwen and Liu Tao were equally matched, and I was the only unknown person who was ignored by everyone.

Half an hour later, the other three members, Huang Xiaoming, Lin Gengxin and Chen Hong, arrived one after another, and the seven-member group of "Flowers and Youth" was officially assembled.

Before departure, director Liao Ke gave the final itinerary instructions: "Please give your bank cards and cash to your agent and assistant for safekeeping. I will distribute the 22,000 euros travel funds to everyone later."

All of this had been discussed beforehand, and a few stars pretended to be reluctant and, after making a few insignificant complaints, handed the wallets to their entourage for safekeeping.

The flight officially took off at 1:30 p.m. The program crew was wealthy enough to book the entire first-class cabin.

As soon as we got on the plane, everyone was full of energy and excitedly shared their European travel experiences.

"I've attended Milan Fashion Week and been to Rome before, so I'm quite familiar with Italy." Jia Jingwen smiled brightly at the camera and lay lazily on the seat.

Liu Shishi took over the conversation: "My husband and I went to Germany to watch the World Cup in 2006, and we have also been to France. But this is the first time we have been to Italy and Spain."

Yang Zi's eyes lit up, and she keenly captured the key information: "2006! Senior Sister Shi, it turns out that you and Mr. Song have been together so long ago?"

The other people were also very curious about the relationship between the No. 1 sister and the richest man. They all wanted to know how she met Song Ci and married into a billionaire family. There were all kinds of rumors on the Internet, both true and false.

"We are childhood sweethearts and have been together for a long time!" Facing the camera, Liu Shishi's brows showed a hint of reminiscence. For the first time after the official announcement, she spoke about her and her husband's emotional experience in front of outsiders.

Although she and Song Ci had vaguely mentioned some emotional matters in some previous interviews and talks.

But because their relationship was not exposed at the time, it did not attract much attention. What's more, the people present were all busy people in the entertainment industry and had no time to pay attention to interviews with other stars.

"How romantic!" Yang Zi supported her chin with both hands, looking longing.

Liu Shishi winked slyly: "You can do it too. I know that you and Liu Xing from "Home with Kids" were childhood sweethearts."

Yang Zi waved her hands: "Hey, don't mention it, I treat Zhang Yishan as a brother! I really don't have any feelings for him, just a buddy! There is absolutely no way we can be together."

"Don't be so sure! I also vowed back then that my husband and I would be brothers for life." Thinking of her own naivety back then, Liu Shishi couldn't help but smile.

Yang Zi immediately covered her mouth in surprise: "Ah, Senior Sister Shi, you actually want to be brothers with Director Song?"

The unexpected revelation made several other people, including the program director and cameraman, focus their attention on Yi Jie.

Liu Shishi nodded and said gently, "How should I put it! Zimei, maybe every childhood sweetheart will go through this stage. Being too familiar with each other makes people ignore the heartbeat. Fortunately, I woke up in time."

The first sister paused, her eyes like water, "Once you miss some people, you will really regret it for the rest of your life."

Yang Zi was stunned and couldn't help asking herself, will I regret it for the rest of my life if I miss it?

Yang Zi, a newbie in emotions, was suddenly confused, but since there was a ready-made case in front of her, she could only ask Sister Yi for more advice:

"Senior Sister, when did you wake up and think about changing the relationship between the two of you?"

"It was the summer before he went to college. I suddenly realized that if he met another girl in college, I might miss my childhood sweetheart."

Liu Shishi showed a hint of pride at the corner of her mouth and snorted, "Fortunately, the drama of childhood sweethearts falling from the sky did not fall on me."

Several older female stars couldn't help but complain in their hearts, secretly regretting that the script was wrong and how could you, Liu Shishi, wake up to it!

Looking at Liu Shishi's happy face, I feel very unhappy. We are all in the entertainment industry, why should you have such a good career and love? It makes me feel uncomfortable!

Liu Shishi's eyes were hazy, and she was lost in reminiscence of the past. Her voice was as soft as water: "I remember that at the Peking University welcome party, someone in a white suit stood under the spotlight and sang a song "The Wind Rises", which dazzled the girls of Peking University."

In the cabin, even the stewardess who was eavesdropping nearby couldn't help but imagine Song Ci standing on the stage in her mind, as if she saw the handsome and elegant young man who was so handsome at that time.

Everyone can easily imagine how lethal the richest man's face would be to a young girl just entering campus.

The straightforward girl Yang Zi suddenly asked: "Senior Sister, do you have a love rival?"

The gentle smile on Liu Shishi's face froze for a moment. She glared at Yang Zi in reproach, secretly annoyed that the little girl was bringing up such irrelevant issues.

The camera accurately captured the micro-expressions on the lady's face, and several onlookers understood what she meant, and couldn't help but guess that the love life of the richest man's wife was not all smooth sailing.

Liu Shishi's mood was ruined by Yang Zi. She had no desire to continue the conversation and stopped showing off her affection at the right time.

Seeing that Sister Yi was silent, Huang Xiaoming immediately changed the subject: "Sister Hong, is Director Chen preparing any new works recently?"

Chen Hong stroked her hair elegantly: "The film will start shooting in October. The theme of the film is about a woman who suffers from cyberbullying."

When Jia Jingwen heard this, she couldn't wait to ask, "Sister Hong, has the heroine of the movie been decided?"

Chen Hong replied meaningfully: "For the leading female role, my husband Chen prefers Gao Yuanyuan."

Jia Jingwen's face froze. She and Gao Yuanyuan were good friends. When she was fighting with her ex-husband for custody of their daughter, Gao Yuanyuan supported her in every way. She couldn't afford to grab the role of a good sister.

Jia Jingwen was concerned about sisterhood, but Liu Tao had no such concerns: "Sister Hong, will Director Chen organize auditions for his film?"

Chen Hong nodded and looked at Liu Shishi deliberately, but was a little disappointed to see that she had no interest at all.

She deliberately mentioned her husband's new movie, intending to arouse Liu Shishi's interest and then take the opportunity to get in touch with Tengda Group. However, the other party was very confident and didn't care about Director Chen's film resources at all.

At this moment in front of the camera, Liu Tao tried to speak without saying much, not daring to appear too eager for quick success. The more than 20-day trip would give him enough opportunities to get closer to Chen Hong.

When she heard that there would be an open audition, even Jia Jingwen became excited again, and her eyes immediately became more eager when she looked at Chen Hong.

Huang Xiaoming, who was standing by, squinted his eyes and took in all the hidden wit of the female stars.

He was a bystander and saw things clearly. Seeing Jia Jingwen and Liu Tao being attentive to Chen Hong, he could not help but shake his head, thinking that the two were being shortsighted and putting the cart before the horse. Liu Shishi was the one that everyone should try to please on this trip.

After chatting for a while, everyone lost their initial enthusiasm and went to rest and recharge their batteries.

After a long flight of thirteen hours, the plane finally landed smoothly at Rome Fiumicino Airport, announcing the official start of the "Flowers" group's European tour.

After getting off the plane, everyone went to pick up their luggage first. Lin Gengxin worked particularly hard and diligently helped everyone carry the luggage.

Before leaving, Cai Yinong specifically reminded him not to try to steal the limelight from others, to talk less and work more, to establish a sincere and down-to-earth good impression on the audience and to build popularity among passers-by.

"Axin, let me help you." Seeing that Lin Gengxin was sweating profusely from exhaustion, Liu Shishi felt a little sorry for him and hurried forward to lend a hand.

Seeing this, the other three actresses also stepped forward to help. Although they lived a life of luxury in their daily lives, they maintained their dignity in front of the camera.

On the other side, Huang Xiaoming and Yang Zi were busy studying the airport floor plan.

"Brother Ming, how about we rent a car?" Yang Zi was undecided and asked Huang Xiaoming for his opinion.

The original plan was for everyone to take a bus to the B&B after getting off the plane, which would save the most money.

But the airport is well connected and the bus stop is not easy to find. Moreover, for seven people and more than 20 suitcases, taking a bus is obviously unrealistic.

"Why not ask for everyone's opinion? I'll tell you."

Huang Xiaoming was a little hesitant. With seven people and more than twenty suitcases, renting a car would be a waste of money. He wanted to save some money by taking the airport bus.

After thinking for a while, he was concerned about the identities of Liu Shishi and Chen Hong, and worried that they could not endure the hardship. Considering that Yang Zi was a low-ranking official, he took the initiative to take on the task.

The cameraman quietly follows several stars, silently recording scenes that reveal their personalities. These details will show the stars' truest side to the audience in the future.
