Chapter 136 A Foreign Country
Cai Yinong was unable to judge whether what Jiang Yuanyuan said was true or false, so he could only give a stern warning:
"Jiang Yuanyuan, let me tell you, you have to figure out who you are working for. I am the president of Tangren. I pay your salary, not Liu Shishi."
On the other end of the phone, Jiang Yuanyuan curled her lips in disdain, complaining in her heart that she really couldn't stand the salary that Tangren Film and Television provided.
My old employer, Boss Song, was really generous. He asked me to take good care of Shishi and gave her a gift worth tens of thousands of dollars. In a few days, I can even take advantage of her to travel abroad.
Although he didn't take the warning seriously, he still had to give Boss Cai face, and pretended to be aggrieved and explained:
"Boss Cai, I really don't know. I was only with Shishi when we were filming Young Generals of the Yang Family. I wasn't with her at other times, so I don't know the specific situation."
"If Shishi has any situation later, you must report it to me in time, and don't try to hide it for her. Also, find a chance to find out about Shishi's boyfriend."
Feeling that Jiang Yuanyuan did not seem to be lying, Cai Yinong could only give her some instructions and leave it at that.
"Got it, Mr. Cai!"
"Each of them is a real worry to me. Once they grow big enough, they no longer care about me!"
After ending the call, Cai Yinong felt helpless and had a headache. He was really worried about what he had done.
The relationship between Big Brother Hu Ge and Xue Jianing hasn't been resolved yet, and Big Sister suddenly has a boyfriend. I can't lead the team at all. I'm so exhausted!
I was so angry that I couldn't help but curse, "Young people are so naive. They are in the entertainment industry and are in love so early. How many couples can go to the end hand in hand? Sooner or later, they will break up. The days of regret are still to come!"
Not to mention that Cai Yinong is racking her brains to think about how to deal with the relationship between Hu Ge and Liu Shishi to prevent adverse effects after their relationship is exposed. As a boss, she has to take precautions and prepare countermeasures in advance.
As soon as Jiang Yuanyuan ended the call, she hurriedly called the young master to report the matter.
Liu Shishi was now re-reading the script. As soon as the phone was connected, she heard the nervous and hurried voice of her assistant.
"Shishi, Mr. Cai just called and asked about your relationship. I don't know how to respond, so I'm just trying to brush it off for now, so I quickly called you."
Liu Shishi shook her head. It seemed that tonight was not a suitable night to read the script. It was too noisy and she couldn't calm down at all.
I had expected Sister K to ask the assistant, so I replied calmly into the receiver: "Yuanyuan, just pretend you know nothing about the matter between me and Song Ci. I don't need Sister K to interfere in my private life."
Jiang Yuanyuan made a promise: "Okay, I got it. I will do as you say. Don't worry, Shishi. I am very tight-lipped and have not revealed any information about Mr. Song to Mr. Cai."
After hearing this, Liu Shishi nodded and had more trust in her. She thought Jiang Yuanyuan was very sensible in doing things.
"Shishi, I'm curious, why don't you tell Mr. Cai directly about your relationship with Mr. Song? I guess Mr. Cai would be very happy for you two to be together. Wouldn't all the problems be solved then?"
Liu Shishi thought for a moment and said slowly, "I have my own considerations. If Sister K and Tangren knew about my relationship with Song Ci, they would definitely ask me to help them get all kinds of resources.
I am a soft-hearted person, and it will be very difficult for me to deal with it. It is good now, and I can see which people in the company are sincere to me. "
Jiang Yuanyuan seemed to understand, but she was an introvert and socially anxious person, and wasn't good at rejecting people. If those people from Tangren knew about her relationship with Mr. Song, she would probably not have a peaceful life. Just when she was about to ask another question, she heard Liu Shishi's instructions.
"Okay, Yuanyuan, let's not talk about my business. When you have time, contact Assistant Song more often. Mr. Song took you abroad this time in the hope that you could take this opportunity to broaden your horizons.
You should learn from Assistant Song. For example, how to apply for visas, book air tickets, book hotels abroad, etc. Assistant Song is very experienced in these matters. You should ask her for advice. We may need it in the future."
Jiang Yuanyuan quickly responded: "Well, Shishi, don't worry."
"Okay, then we'll see each other in a few days." Liu Shishi hung up the phone with a smile. Mr. Song wanted to train Jiang Yuanyuan in advance so that she could be responsible for her own team in the future.
Compared with Song Ci's arrangement, Liu Shishi was also happy to see it happen. Assistants know and are responsible for many private matters of celebrities, so they have to be loyal and reliable.
I have known Jiang Yuanyuan since childhood, and we have developed a deep friendship since she helped me canvass votes for the school beauty contest that year.
The young assistant is dedicated to his work, and his family is well off, so he won't have any problems because of money.
Song Ci wanted to give such a loyal and reliable partner a chance and let her help Liu Shishi manage the team in the future, so he let Song Xueying lead her first and take her with him on this trip abroad to broaden her horizons with Liu Shishi.
Turning over the pages of the calendar, time quickly came to late June. The summer sun shone on the Beijing Dance Academy, adding a touch of fiery color to this season of parting.
Liu Shishi was wearing a solemn bachelor's gown, with a smile of excitement and slight reluctance on her face. She was busy taking photos with Yang Yi and Chen Xin.
The black robe fluttered gently in the breeze. A square bachelor's hat was worn neatly on her head. A bright red graduation ribbon hung on her chest, adding a touch of intellectual brilliance to her.
With the sound of camera shutters, one photo after another full of youthfulness is taken and recorded, and the precious and beautiful moments are frozen forever.
After taking graduation photos in the afternoon, Liu Shishi’s four years at the Beijing Dance Academy will soon come to a successful conclusion. This class of students will leave the campus and go their separate ways tomorrow.
In the dormitory at night, the light is soft, illuminating a few youthful faces, but the air is filled with a faint feeling of separation.
Liu Shishi sat on the edge of the bed, holding a thick photo album in her hand, flipping through the records of her four years in college.
Chen Xin dragged a chair over and sat opposite Liu Shishi, saying her final goodbye. Tomorrow she would embark on her journey back to her hometown in Qiong Province. At this moment, her eyes were shining with longing for the future and reluctance to leave this period of school life.
"Xinxin, time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, we will go our separate ways." Liu Shishi closed the photo album and said softly, with a barely perceptible choke in her voice.
Chen Xin smiled slightly, stretched out her hand and gently patted the back of Liu Shishi's hand: "Yes, Shishi, time has passed too quickly. But we have many good memories, don't we?"
Liu Shishi nodded, her eyes slightly red: "Well, I will cherish it. You should also take care of yourself. Don't forget to contact us more after returning to Qiong Province."
Chen Xin suppressed her worries, raised her eyebrows, smiled and said, "Don't worry, communication and transportation are so developed now, we can meet again if we have the chance.
But you, the big star, please don’t forget me in the future. When you marry Song Ci, you must send me a wedding invitation.”
Liu Shishi blushed and replied shyly in a low voice: "Of course, you and Yiyi will be my bridesmaids."
Chen Xin patted Miss Liu's soft hands again, turned sideways to look at another roommate, and asked with concern: "Yiyi, how are you going to arrange it?"
Yang Yi was lying listlessly at the head of the bed. She was obviously affected by the sadness of parting. She was no longer lively as usual and was sullen. She answered in a muffled voice:
"I shared a house with a girl from the radio and art troupe, signed up for an acting training class, and will report to the crew of the drama Oranges Born in Huainan that Shishi introduced to me soon."
Chen Xin nodded and felt relieved: "Shishi, I'll leave Yiyi to you from now on. It's not easy to stay in Beiping and work hard. You are a native of Beiping, so please help her more."
"Yes." Liu Shishi agreed and reached out to hug Chen Xin.
Yang Yi also stood up and hugged Chen Xin, and the three girls hugged each other tightly and said goodbye reluctantly. Because they will go their separate ways tomorrow, the three of them chatted until late at night, cherishing the last time they spent together.
On June 27th, Liu Shishi had graduated from Beijing Dance Academy and Song Ci also started her summer vacation at Peking University. The two planned to go to Germany to watch the 2006 World Cup.
After taking off from Peiping and a ten-hour flight, Song Ci and his entourage finally arrived in Berlin on the afternoon of June 27th, local time.
Berlin Otto Lilienthal Airport, where the plane landed, is a famous commercial airport in Europe and the main airport in Berlin, the capital of Germany. It is located in Tegel, Berlin, about 8 kilometers northwest of the city center.
Berlin is located in the transition zone from temperate maritime climate to temperate continental climate. The summer is relatively warm but not hot. The end of June is the beginning of the local summer, and the daytime temperature is generally between 20°C and 25°C, which can be said to be a pleasant climate.
When Song Ci stepped off the plane, the sky in Berlin was clear and the temperature was more comfortable than in Beijing. He couldn't help but feel refreshed. The warm sunshine shining on his body swept away the fatigue of the long flight.
It was the first time for Song Ci to set foot on German soil in his two lifetimes. He was full of curiosity and yearning for a foreign country. This time he and Liu Shishi would have a good time in Germany.
As soon as we got off the plane, assistant Song Xueying came up to Song Ci and said, "Boss Song, I have arranged a guide, translator, and special car. Let's pick up our luggage and go directly out of the station to take the special car to the hotel."
In addition to Song Ci and Liu Shishi, this trip to Germany also included their assistants Song Xueying and Jiang Yuanyuan, plus personal bodyguard Tang Yue, a total of five people.
Although the security level in Germany is good, Song Ci basically brings bodyguards with him when he travels far away now. Safety comes first, and it’s better to be cautious.
Hearing the careful arrangements, Song Ci nodded with satisfaction and praised: "Well done, senior sister, I'll leave it to you from now on."
Song Xueying quickly said modestly: "You're welcome. This is what I should do. I'm also very happy to be able to travel abroad with you."
After everyone picked up their luggage and walked out of the airport, a luxury business car was already waiting in the parking lot.
The driver was a middle-aged white man. Although he couldn't speak the language, he still politely helped open the car door and carry the luggage.
The hired guide translator was already waiting in the car. When he saw everyone getting on the car, he quickly introduced himself:
"Welcome to Berlin. I am Zhang Cheng, your guide and translator for this trip. I will accompany you throughout the next few days and introduce you to the beautiful scenery and history and culture of Berlin."
The guide Zhang Cheng is a young man who speaks standard Mandarin. His voice is gentle and professional, making people feel friendly and at ease.
The business car slowly drove towards the city center and drove steadily on the streets of Berlin. Song Ci pressed the window, leaving it half open, and the breeze blew past, making people feel refreshed.
It takes about an hour to drive from the airport to the hotel. During the long journey, Song Ci chatted with the guide: "Did Director Zhang study in Germany?"
Zhang Cheng, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned around and replied with a smile: "I am from Jinshi. I am currently studying for a doctorate at the Free University of Berlin. I have been here for almost four years. In my free time, I usually take on some work as a guide for domestic tourists. It can be considered as working part-time to earn some pocket money."
Song Ci praised: "It seems that Director Zhang is very good!"
Zhang Cheng smiled shyly: "Life abroad is stressful. I have spent a lot of money studying abroad in the past few years. I can't rely entirely on my parents.
Germany is hosting the World Cup during this period, and many tourists have come to China. We, the international students, will serve as guides for the Chinese people to earn some living expenses. I will return to China after I graduate with my doctorate. "
"Many international students will stay here after they have completed their studies. Only a few, like Director Zhang, are willing to return to China for development."
It is now 2006. Although the domestic economy has made great progress after years of development, there is still a certain gap compared with developed countries in Europe and the United States. Many international students want to stay abroad after graduation.
Zhang Cheng sighed: "Alas, after all, it is really difficult for Chinese people to integrate into the local community in a foreign country. It is also difficult to stay in Germany. Besides, my parents and relatives are all in China, so I might as well go back."
Song Ci and Zhang Cheng chatted to learn about the situation of European international students, thinking about whether they could recruit some talents for Tengda Group.
Liu Shishi beside him and Jiang Yuanyuan, who was sitting in the back row, were chattering as they watched the streets of Berlin, their eyes full of excitement. It was their first time traveling abroad, and they talked excitedly as soon as they got off the plane.
On both sides of the street, ancient and elegant buildings passed by one after another, and those exquisite carvings and mottled walls seemed to be telling the story of the years. The sun shone on the rows of classical buildings, creating a warm halo.
Jiang Yuanyuan stared out the window, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and amazement. From time to time, she patted Liu Shishi's shoulder and pointed to a very special building: "Shishi, what is that building? It's so tall."
Liu Shishi was also attracted by the exotic street scene. She leaned forward slightly, wanting to take in every bit of the scenery. When she heard Jiang Yuanyuan's words, she looked in the direction of the voice and saw a white tower-like building towering into the sky standing above the ground in the distance.
Song Ci also looked in the direction of the voice and guessed, "That should be the Berlin TV Tower."
Zhang Cheng smiled and introduced: "Mr. Song is right, it is indeed the Berlin TV Tower, located between Alexanderplatz and Republic Square in the city center.
It is a landmark building in Berlin. It was completed in October 1969 and is 45 meters taller than the Eiffel Tower in France.
As the car continued to move forward, Zhang Cheng introduced several scenic spots along the way. This guide was indeed quite knowledgeable and could explain the history and culture of various buildings in Berlin, Germany at will.
