Chapter 422 No Title
This Bai Qiu not only looks like him, but even the two fangs in his mouth are exactly the same. Bai Qiujing raised his hand and touched his mouth, but his fingertips suddenly retracted as if they were burned.
He stared at the photo blankly, as if there was a thorn in his heart. It didn't hurt much, but it was stuck there and made him feel uncomfortable.
In the photo, Bai Qiu was standing with a woman. He pointed and asked, "Who is this person?"
The dean replied, “This is the Shen Zhichu I just told you about.”
The "Chen Zhichu" in the photo was thin and smiling at the camera. She was obviously smiling, but the smile did not reach her eyes. Her eyes were filled with loneliness. Bai Qiujing raised his thumb and gently rubbed her face.
That familiar feeling came again.
Bai Qiujing stared at the photo, and suddenly an absurd idea came to her mind. The "Chen Zhichu" in the photo was the same person as the Shen Zhichu she knew.
People can change their appearance and voice, but they cannot change their eyes.
He stared into the eyes of "Chen Zhichu", and the two of them looked at each other as if they were separated by an insurmountable time and space.
Why does my heart hurt so much?
"How did she die?" Bai Qiujing asked.
When Shen Zhichu was mentioned, the dean felt uncomfortable. His voice suddenly became hoarse and he answered with difficulty: "He was burned to death. He was only 27 years old when he died."
Bai Qiujing thought again of Li Jingshen's words, asking him to investigate his ex-wife's name. Bai Qiujing opened his mouth and asked again, "Do you know who her husband is?"
The dean didn't quite understand the purpose of Bai Qiujing's visit. He asked Bai Qiu, then Shen Zhichu, and now he even asked about Shen Zhichu's husband.
However, she still answered him seriously: "Li Jingshen, the president of Li Group."
Their marriage in Chengdu caused quite a stir, with people saying they were a perfect match.
Shen Zhichu often donates to the orphanage. The director has a good impression of her and pays attention to her news. It was originally thought that Shen Zhichu would be happy for the rest of her life if she married the person she loved, but she smiled less and less. Even on her 24th birthday, she smiled bitterly when facing the children's blessings.
Shen Zhichu sponsored many orphans, hospitals, and schools. No less than one hundred children received her help to go to school and cure their illnesses. However, such a good person suffered a lot in her life. Fate never favored her and she left the world at the age of 27.
The dean's eyes became red as he thought about it.
When Bai Qiujing heard the three words "Li Jingshen", his breath was caught, and something flashed through his mind so quickly that he couldn't catch it.
Bai Qiujing's eyes paused slightly, but his expression remained unchanged.
Li Jingshen's deceased wife was named Shen Zhichu, and she had a good relationship with Bai Qiu in this orphanage.
She was burned to death three years ago at the age of twenty-seven.
What was the relationship between the deceased Shen Zhichu and the current Shen Zhichu? Apart from a 50-60 resemblance in appearance and the same name, they had no connection at all.
They were different. Their life trajectories, the people they met, and the things that had happened to them were all very different. The Shen Zhichu he knew listed her as 24 years old on her resume. She was not the eldest daughter of the Shen family. She was just an ordinary girl from the countryside. She had never been married, didn't know Bai Qiu, and had no relationship with Li Jingshen.
He was so numb to himself, but for some reason, the look of Shen Zhichu when she looked at the corner of his mouth always appeared in his mind. That look was full of nostalgia. She often stared at him in a daze, as if she was looking at another person. She also touched his mouth to make him smile more.
Why are you smiling so much? Doesn't your smile resemble Bai Qiu's, especially those two identical canine teeth?
Bai Qiujing didn't dare to think about it, nor did he dare to ask more questions.
Before he met Chen Zhichu, he always thought that he was able to let go of things and solve problems when they occurred, and would not get stuck in a dead end and stand still. But now it seems that, just like what Li Jingshen said, he is a coward and does not even have the courage to take a step forward.
Bai Qiujing took out the photo from the album and asked, "Can you print one for me?"
The dean thought for a moment and said, "You can take it. Bai Qiu looks like you. It can be considered fate."
Not only does he have a connection with Bai Qiu, he also has a connection with Chen Zhichu. The director doesn't pay much attention to news in the entertainment industry, but many of the young people who help out at the orphanage like Bai Qiujing and they gather together to talk about him whenever they have nothing to do.
The most talked about things recently are Bai Qiujing and Chen Zhichu, talking about how Bai Qiujing defended and confessed his love for Chen Zhichu on Weibo, and how these two people are a perfect match.
One time, the dean was passing by the lounge and heard a voice coming from the room saying, "I hit the jackpot, I hit the jackpot." Thinking someone had hit the jackpot, he pushed the door open and saw four or five little girls holding their phones and smiling happily.
The dean looked at the man in front of him. No matter how much he looked like Bai Qiu, he was not Bai Qiu.
Bai Qiuren is not smart and has poor language expression skills. No matter how he changes, he will never become a movie star.
"Thank you." Bai Qiujing took out a bank card from his wallet. "This is what I sponsored for the children. Dean, please keep it."
"Funding requires procedures." Most artists will do charity work. Some do it sincerely, while others do it just to increase their influence and guide public opinion. When there are negative events, they can increase their impression points. Donating more money can even quell a lot of negative news.
Some celebrities like to do charity work in a high-profile manner, and they want to tell everyone how much money they have spent and how many good things they have done. A simple search on the Internet will bring up a lot of information.
This also makes it easier for fans to control comments.
This requires us to use Xia Mingyue as an example.
So, money makes the world go round. You can’t control your own human nature, but money can.
"No formalities or verification are required. Just keep it. The password is on the card." Bai Qiujing placed the card directly on the table and left with the photo.
I met several of his fans along the way. After calming down from the excitement, they no longer screamed uncontrollably when they saw Bai Qiujing like they did at the beginning.
Bai Qiujing put on the mask he carried with him as he walked. When he got in the car, he shivered and felt cold all over. Bai Qiujing touched his face and found it was covered in cold water. Only then did he look out the window and realize that it was raining. No wonder it was so cold.
Bai Qiujing took out the photo from his pocket and kept looking at it. Sometimes he looked at Bai Qiu who looked like him, and sometimes he looked at "Chen Zhichu" who looked like Shen Zhichu. For a moment he couldn't tell who was who.
It's raining, and the weather is getting warmer. Winter comes after autumn. The winter in Chengdu is very cold, but not as cold as the snow in the north. The cold in the south is the kind that slowly seeps into the bones from the skin and flesh. It is cold outside and inside.
He remembered that Shen Zhichu was afraid of the cold, so he should prepare more hot packs this winter.
Bai Qiujing was driving with his mind wandering, thinking that if he did so, his heart wouldn't hurt so much, and the wipers were swinging from side to side.
Where should he go after leaving the orphanage? Why not go find Shen Zhichu? He knew there was a path very close to where she was filming. The weather forecast showed that it wasn't raining there, so it should be warmer than here.
Bean-sized drops of water splashed on the roof of the car, making a deafening sound.
The weather on this mountain road was bad. Not only was it raining, but it was also foggy. The wipers were constantly running and the visibility on the road was too low. Normally, one should slow down in this situation, but Bai Qiujing seemed to be unaware of it and kept rushing forward.
I turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside and just stepped on the accelerator. In my ears I could hear the sound of wind and rain. When the car went a little faster, it sounded like mournful cries coming from far away.
Bai Qiujing stroked the steering wheel, staring blankly at the road ahead, feeling a soreness spreading from his chest and lingering until his wrists and fingertips felt an indescribable soreness.
Suddenly, a high beam came from the corner and shone into his eyes. Bai Qiujing suddenly woke up, but it was too late. The tire slipped and crashed to the side.
Bai Qiujing leaned his head against the car window, and the warm touch spread from his forehead to his ears and scalp, and goose bumps appeared on his body.
……….
On the side of the "Changmen Hate" crew, the sky began to grow overcast, and Shen Zhichu's heart skipped a beat and he felt a little uneasy.
She had a similar premonition the last time something bad happened, and she always felt that something bad was going to happen.
After filming a scene, Shen Zhichu sat on a chair to rest. The makeup artist touched up her makeup while she drank water and looked at her phone.
As expected, there was some movement on Xia Mingyue's side. She started to hire a large number of internet trolls and posted photos of Shen Zhichu and Wang Xiangrong having dinner alone in a restaurant. Unscrupulous marketing accounts are very good at coming up with titles, with all kinds of scales. They also hired some internet trolls to comment, like and repost, which immediately increased the popularity.
——According to passersby, Shen Zhichu and Wang Xiangrong went to a restaurant to eat alone, and they even booked a private room so that they couldn't see inside. Could it be that they were just discussing the script?
"What the hell are we discussing the script for? If we were going to discuss the script, why did we only invite Shen Zhichu to the restaurant and even book a private room where we can't see anything?"
"This isn't the way to treat someone special. It's already this time, and Shen Zhichu still dares to get so close to Wang Xiangrong."
"Nagato Hatred is probably beyond saving. So many things have happened while it's still filming. It looks like it will become one of the biggest TV dramas to flop before it even airs."
"I just saw that Changmenhen's investment amount is 420 million. What does that mean? They say the lunch boxes are all five-star quality."
"It must be hard for Chen Zhichu to be caught in the middle. After all, Wang Xiangrong is going to sue Xia Yanyue, and Xia Yanyue is from the same company as her and has the same boss. She's also the company's cash cow. Now that Wang Xiangrong has offended Xia Yanyue for her, I'm afraid Shen Zhichu's life in the company will be difficult. Unless she breaches the contract, but with her recent income, the penalty for breach of contract is definitely not something she can afford. That's why I think she went to Wang Xiangrong to borrow money (dog head save life)"
"Could it be that Wang Xiangrong is supporting Shen Zhichu? It is said that Shen Zhichu has a financial sponsor. Could this sponsor be him?"
"Wang Xiangrong is crazy. He actually wants to terminate the contract with Xia Yanyue for Chen Zhichu. Although Xia Yanyue is unprofessional, has mediocre acting skills, poor work ability, is not hardworking, has a bad attitude, is malicious, and is not as good-looking as the supporting actors, she is rich. It is said that the investors of the crew invested in her. With two big mountains behind her, she doesn't feel tired even if she lies down. No wonder she uses a stand-in so casually in the crew."
"What's wrong with Yan Yue using a body double? Do you know how hard she works? Do you know how many children in mountain villages she has sponsored? She donated 10 million last month."
"What I said above is that her acting is not good. What does donating to her have to do with it?"
"But she has good character."
"A person with good character would let Zheng Xiuxiu take Shen Zhichu's cat away? A person with good character would say one thing to a colleague in front of him and another behind his back?"
"Just to add a comment, I'm an employee of Changmenhen. Let me make it clear that the investor of Changmenhen is not Xia Yanyue, but someone else. We even had a fight that day." After this comment was posted, it quickly disappeared in the quarrel.
"Xia Yanyue not only has a bad character and poor acting skills, but her fans are also poorly educated. They are like a cult, inciting minors to attack Shen Zhichu. She deserves to be sent to a juvenile detention center and have to pay compensation."
There are constant disputes online, but it has to be said that Xia Yanyue's move was indeed a good one. It may not have completely changed the public opinion, but it has diverted many people's attention from the previous incident involving her fans.
The people in the crew stopped working to either read the script or play with their phones to relieve their stress, which naturally became a hot topic.
"I was wondering why I didn't see you and Director Wang at noon today. You must have gone to have a private class and didn't even call me." Zheng Xiao came to Shen Zhichu and said, "Tell me the truth, what were you and Director Wang doing?"
Shen Zhichu said simply: "Eat."
"I don't believe the lunch boxes on the set are that delicious." Zheng Xiao looked at Shen Zhichu and couldn't help but sigh. "I don't know if you really don't know or if you're pretending not to know. There have been rumors circulating online about you and Director Wang these past few days. We on the set know what kind of person you are and what kind of relationship Director Wang has with you, but people outside don't know. Any slight disturbance will turn it into a raging fire. You should keep your distance from Director Wang and wait for this period to pass."
