Chapter 21021
"Sister Yi is my idol now! She is the kind of idol who can help me make money and take me to success!" Guan Qianxue expressed her love for Jiang Yi without hesitation.
Xu Jiaxin was amused by Guan Qianxue's expression. "I find you quite amusing."
"Really?" Guan Qianxue smiled innocently, "I think so too."
"Besides me, there are many interesting people in the company, such as the quiet photographer Zhang Munan, Pan Ze, who has a unique makeup technique, and so on."
Guan Qianxue perked up at the mention of Zhang Munan and Pan Ze, unable to hide the smile that spread across her lips. She leaned over to Xu Jiaxin's ear and whispered, "Jiaxin, I'm going to tell you a little gossip. You mustn't tell anyone. Zhang and Pan were married before. It was a flash marriage, but they divorced within two months."
Hearing this, Xu Jiaxin was a little surprised: "Flash marriage and flash divorce?"
"Yes," Guan Qianxue's eyes curved, "Sometimes, I really admire Sister Yi. She was able to bring these two enemies together, hahahaha."
Zhang Munan has first-class photography skills. Although Guan Qianxue also has some photography skills, compared with Zhang Munan, she is nothing and cannot be compared at all.
Zhang Munan's aesthetic sense with the camera is well-known in the circle, and she has taken photos of many top stars.
Pan Ze's makeup skills are also very famous. Many celebrities will hire him to do their makeup for a high price. He is easy-going with everyone, but he is an exception with Zhang Munan. When he is with Zhang Munan, he will show his more childish side.
Zhang Munan, who has a unique personality, will also show a different side of himself when facing Pan Ze, such as his sharp tongue.
At the beginning, Guan Qianxue didn't know what was going on between the two of them. It was after they came to the company that they started quarreling and complaining about each other as soon as they met. After inquiring from many sources, Guan Qianxue got hold of first-hand gossip information.
Every time she comes to the company, Guan Qianxue likes to watch them bickering with each other. It's so funny.
Guan Qianxue warned: "Sister Jiaxin, when you meet them next time, try not to praise each other in front of each other. Otherwise, they will explode on the spot."
Xu Jiaxin: "Is there such a thing?"
Guan Qianxue said with great conviction, "That's right. I once praised Brother Pan's makeup skills, and Sister Mu Nan gave me a cold face. It was really scary."
"Okay." Xu Jiaxin took note of it silently.
bite--
The elevator reached the seventh floor.
As soon as the two walked out of the elevator, Xu Jiaxin saw a glass door gate appear not far away.
Xu Jiaxin had never expected that the structures between floors in Building B in Huainan District were so different. The office area on the first floor had a wide view. Although Xu Jiaxin only took a glance from a distance, the layout alone was very clear.
The contract Jiang Yi gave her included accommodation. If she didn't live in the artist dormitory, she could receive a housing subsidy.
For convenience and to save money, Xu Jiaxin chose to live in the artist dormitory.
only……
She had never expected that the artist dormitory would be so luxurious.
Crystal warm light lamps are hung on the ceiling, and the corridors on both sides are clean and tidy. The first thing you see is Area A on the sign, and looking further in you can see Area B.
The room seems to be divided into sections?
It was the first time that Xu Jiaxin saw such a house design.
Guan Qianxue skillfully took out the room card and placed it on the door card slot.
The glass door has an automatic sensor. After recognizing Guan Qianxue's room card, it opens the glass door and says, "Welcome home, Guan Qianxue."
Guan Qianxue lived in Area A. She handed a room card to Xu Jiaxin, "Sister Jiaxin, this is your room card. Come over and do some facial recognition."
Guan Qianxue: "After facial recognition is completed, you can open the door by scanning your face in the future."
"Okay." Xu Jiaxin took the room card and walked to the identification area.
"Facial recognition passed."
After successful recognition, the sensor said in a very humane way, "Welcome Xu Jiaxin to join the Fa Cai Da Ji family."
As Guan Qianxue walked in, she introduced to Xu Jiaxin, "There are four areas on the seventh floor, divided into A, B, C, and D. We'll be staying in Area A. There will be glass doors between areas, and facial recognition will allow you to pass through."
"So complicated?" Xu Jiaxin had never expected that there would be such complicated procedures for artists to enter the dormitory.
"A little bit." Guan Qianxue explained with a smile, "At first, the seventh floor only had large glass doors in the corridor. Later, Sister Yi divided the rooms into sections and installed glass doors in each."
"Although I don't know why Sister Yi designed it this way, she must have her own ideas." Guan Qianxue stood on Jiang Yi's side unconditionally.
Guan Qianxue pointed to the camera above the corridor and said: "There are cameras in the corridor, but not in the rooms in the area. If you want to install a camera in your room, you can install it yourself."
Cameras are installed in the corridors to protect the safety of the artists, and there are no cameras in the rooms to maintain the privacy of the artists.
Xu Jiaxin nodded to show that she understood.
After Xu Jiaxin chose a room and put her luggage away, Guan Qianxue took her to the office area on the first floor.
Guan Qianxue enthusiastically introduced the company's internal staff to Xu Jiaxin, and the staff also greeted Xu Jiaxin enthusiastically, except for one person...photographer Zhang Munan.
The other party just nodded coldly at Xu Jiaxin, then lowered his head to busy himself with the work in his hands, with no intention of socializing too much.
Xu Jiaxin didn't take this matter too seriously. Everyone has a different personality, and she had no right to demand that everyone treat her warmly.
After a brief greeting, Xu Jiaxin sat at her workstation... reading a novel.
Yes, I read novels on my first day at work.
The working hours of successful artists are very flexible. If they don’t have endorsement, film and television work, they will work three days on and four days off.
Xu Jiaxin is an actor and needs to study the roles. For her, reading novels, watching TV series and movies are all learning.
There are still 7 days left until the interview for "Give My Daughter the Truth", which is neither long nor short.
Xu Jiaxin is still very confident in her acting skills. Although she has not played any popular roles in recent years, after a long period of precipitation, Xu Jiaxin's camera performance and emotional control have made a qualitative leap.
The original title of the novel is the same as the name of the movie, both called "Give My Daughter the Truth."
As Xu Jiaxin read on, she became increasingly addicted to the plot. Although the entire text only has 120,000 words, Xu Jiaxin cried while reading it.
The novel uses a flashback technique.
The story begins when the mother is sentenced by the court, and then unfolds from the perspective of the mother's memories.
The mother in the novel, Qin Zhaoyi, is strong-willed by nature. She finds a man from a well-off family to marry, but the man is lazy and has no ambition. After marriage, the conflicts between the two increase, and finally, Qin Zhaoyi decides to divorce.
Qin Zhaoyi also wanted to take her daughter Li Man'er abroad, but because her job was unstable, the court felt that it would be detrimental to the child's growth environment, so it awarded the child to the man.
After the divorce, the man remarried and started a new family. Li Man'er was raised by her stepmother, who often brainwashed her into thinking that her biological mother no longer wanted her.
In such an environment, Li Man'er became a loveless, sensitive and rebellious child.
What made Xu Jiaxin feel most uncomfortable was that Li Man'er was molested by her stepmother's younger brother and was threatened not to tell anyone.
Li Man'er told her father and stepmother about this matter. As a result, her father slapped Li Man'er and said that she was just like her biological mother, a vixen who seduced any man.
This is clearly not Li Maner's fault, but everyone is scolding her.
Over time, Li Man'er became taciturn and quiet.
After entering university, Li Man'er met her senior, who was handsome and gentle to her. She thought he was a light in her life, but she didn't expect that he was the culprit who pushed her into the abyss.
After learning about Li Maner's experience, the senior student not only did not comfort her, but instead started all kinds of PUA.
Li Man'er's mental state gradually collapsed, and she finally decided to commit suicide to find relief.
When seeing this part of the plot, Xu Jiaxin already started to burst into tears.
She was just like the mother inside, so angry that she wanted to kill all the scum inside!
In the novel, the mother, Qin Zhaoyi, did kill someone.
However, Xu Jiaxin still had some rationality. She couldn't kill anyone. Reason told her that it was not worth sacrificing her future for a scumbag.
Xu Jiaxin is very familiar with many of the PUA rhetoric in the original novel, and she can empathize with Li Man'er's emotional breakdown. She will also doubt herself because of what others say, and fall into internal consumption and pain.
And when she saw a scumbag like Ning Zhengping living a carefree life, Xu Jiaxin was just like Qin Zhaoyi in the play, and she wanted to kill him.
Reality is not fiction, Xu Jiaxin cannot kill anyone.
She has a father, mother and sister.
besides……
Thinking of this, a figure subconsciously popped up in Xu Jiaxin's mind - Jiang Yi.
She has too many people and things to worry about.
Xu Jiaxin saw that the author had something to say at the end of the novel:
"'Return the Truth to My Daughter'" was inspired by a real incident. In reality, Li Man'er had no mother and was adopted.
The initial setting I created for this mother was very simple. I simply thought that if Li Man'er had a biological mother, her mother would avenge her daughter when she knew what had happened to her.
I don't encourage murder for revenge. I wrote this story to warn people against emotional PUA. I hope that when we face these unfair and unpleasant things, we can have the courage to fight back and not fall into the trap of self-justification. That's all.
Finally, I'd like to share a quote from Shi Tiesheng: "Treat the suspicious eyes of others as will-o'-the-wisp, and boldly walk your own path through the night. Cheers to Qin Zhaoyi, Cheers to Li Man'er, Cheers to you and me."
Treat the suspicious eyes of others as ghost lights, and walk your own night road boldly.
Xu Jiaxin had seen this sentence when she was young. If she remembered correctly, it was from Shi Tiesheng's "Fragments of Thoughts in Sickness".
For a moment, Xu Jiaxin recalled herself in her youth, sitting in the library studying seriously and full of enthusiasm. Would she feel disappointed?
After all, she did not grow into the person she wanted to be, but instead became timid because of what others said.
Maybe, maybe not.
It was almost seven o'clock in the evening when Xu Jiaxin finished reading the novel.
Many of the company's staff have already left work.
As soon as Xu Jiaxin raised her head, she saw Jiang Yi coming in with takeout.
Jiang Yi put the takeaway on her workstation. "Qianxue said you were so engrossed in reading a novel that you didn't even have dinner. This is the takeaway I just ordered. Here you go."
"It's still warm."
In Jiang Yi’s previous life, he was an artist who was busy with work and didn’t eat on time, so he suffered from chronic gastritis.
She didn't want Xu Jiaxin to get gastritis.
Jiang Yi reminded: "You still have to eat on time and take good care of yourself."
"Sister Yi, thank you." Xu Jiaxin took the takeaway, her eyes bright as she thanked Jiang Yi sincerely.
Thank you for giving her the opportunity to enter the fortune.
Thanks also for the takeaway I ordered for her.
If it weren't for Jiang Yi, Xu Jiaxin might have retired from the entertainment industry.
"You're welcome." Jiang Yi winked playfully. "It's only natural for the boss to be nice to the artists. After all, I still have to rely on you to make money."
Xu Jiaxin's guard was completely down. She smiled and joked, "What if I can't make any money?"
"Let me think about it..."
Jiang Yi pretended to think, "If we can't make money and the company goes bankrupt, we can all go to work in the factory together. It's a very good place with free food and accommodation."
"puff--"
Xu Jiaxin never expected Jiang Yi to give this answer, and she couldn't stop laughing.
Although she said this, Xu Jiaxin silently vowed in her heart: "Sister Yi, thank you, I will definitely work hard to create value for the company."
"Okay, let's go and rest after eating. We don't have the habit of working overtime in the company." Jiang Yi smiled and reminded, "If there is anything, we can talk about it tomorrow."
Xu Jiaxin agreed: "Okay."
