Chapter 49
At that time, she only left a photo for her ID. She looked very beautiful in the photo, but when Su Ning saw her in person, he found that the photo only restored one-third of her beauty.
A true beauty looks best when she's moving.
Having gotten rid of the childishness of a few years ago, the 22-year-old Ji Xue is so beautiful that it can touch people's hearts. When she walked down, the background was a yard full of roses and a luxurious manor courtyard, but all of these pale in comparison to her.
Su Ning has seen so many female stars, and it is hard to say which one of them is more beautiful than the other. After all, each of them has a different style, some are pure, some are charming. If there is any label on Ji Xue, it is beautiful, pure beauty.
When you look closer, you can't find any flaws in her facial features.
Then Boss Lu led her down and introduced her with a proud tone: "My fiancée, Xiaoxue."
Ji Xue wore a very simple light-colored long skirt and had slightly curly hair. When she came down, she just glanced at Su Ning, and even her eyes were indifferent when she looked at Boss Lu. She didn't talk much while sitting at the dining table. She only occasionally joined in the conversation when they were chatting, and she stopped talking once she talked about business. She seemed not to care about it.
The only time she showed some initiative was when she stopped Boss Lu when he had almost drunk a bottle of wine.
She didn't say anything, but just a glance made people understand what she meant.
Boss Lu smiled and said he would stop drinking, but he unconsciously refilled his glass. Others did not dare to stop him, but Ji Xue stopped him when he raised his hand to raise the glass.
She didn't complain about the other party not keeping his word, she just pulled the hand towards herself and used the strength to drink the glass of wine. She probably couldn't drink much, after drinking a glass of wine her face turned half red, making her look even more charming.
Then he said, "I really can't drink anymore. I'm going to get angry."
After that, Boss Lu never touched his wine glass again.
Su Ning did not show any abnormality during the whole dinner. He did not stare at Ji Xue, nor did he mention that according to the contract, the girl in front of him was still a contracted artist of Guangying Entertainment.
But if you want to know more, Su Ning gives you some guidance, and Boss Lu, who is very satisfied with his girlfriend, tells you roughly how they met.
"Xiaoxue from our family worked as a voice anchor on the Internet for a while. She was afraid of trouble, so she never showed her face. She just read some short stories on the Internet. She didn't make much money. Her family was well-off, so she just did it to kill time," he said. "I also heard about her by chance. She was silly and simple-minded, and didn't know how to mix in the circle. I gave her some tips, and the top anchors in the anchor guild bullied her, saying that she was stealing the boss."
Ji Xue's original family is indeed good. It can be regarded as a scholarly family and a well-off middle-class family. She is the only daughter in the family. Although they are not rich, she does not need to struggle for money.
However, with this kind of background, people are completely powerless to fight back when faced with a company like Jianfeng.
Lu Fei was still recalling his touching love story. In his description, he was like a brave knight who saved the princess.
According to his account, the incident later became a big deal, causing the anchor guild to insist that Ji Xue, a little-known member of the guild, attend the offline gathering. Several big anchors also specially invited Boss Lu, the guild's financial sponsor at the time, and the gathering was held in Rongcheng.
Lu Fei, who originally just wanted to have fun, did go there.
At that time, he just felt that this little anchor who could only make voice sounds was a bit pitiful, but he might not necessarily favor her. After all, a sponsor like him who had invested so much money was used to being sought after by many stars. But when he met her in person, the situation suddenly changed.
This offline anchor meeting was originally scheduled to be very noisy, but since Ji Xue showed up, most people remained quiet in front of her and no one spoke loudly.
The scene that Lu Fei remembered until now was what Ji Xue whispered to him while catching everyone's attention.
Among the whole crowd, Ji Xue was the only one she spoke to alone.
"Thank you for your reward, but I don't add fans privately. This is my habit. I said before that I would return the money to you, but you didn't want it. I can only ask the platform to lower the amount of gifts," she said. "I came here just to talk to you in person about this. If you really like to listen to my stories, just subscribe. I can make money."
After Lu Fei returned that day, he was still very excited, but he was rejected when he confessed his feelings for the first time.
The more he watched, the more he felt that Ji Xue was not being bullied at that time. She really didn't seem to care. Just like her live broadcasts and works, they were all indifferent, not happy with things or sad with herself.
Climbing and picking this type of alpine snow lotus seems to be something that no one can refuse.
The reason why Boss Lu hasn't gotten married yet is because he hasn't had enough fun. But when he came to Ji Xue, he thought that just like before, they would get bored soon after dating. In fact, it has been more than half a year, and he is not bored yet. He is even getting more and more obsessed and directly acknowledged her as his fiancée.
His family's industry was so powerful, and there were other children in the family. They did not force Lu Fei to marry, so he just let him do whatever he wanted. They didn't interfere much, and when they saw that his family background was clean, they didn't say anything.
The story of Ji Xue being banned was not very tenable. Liao Yuansi had something to hide and deleted all the information on the Internet. People like Su Ning who were in the circle could not find anything. The whole story was told by Shen Mingzheng. If you were not particularly interested, you would not find anything just by searching the name.
Moreover, there are many people with the same name as this simple one.
It really sounds like a love fairy tale.
Lu Fei is a top young talent in every aspect and he is not bad looking either. Ji Xue is pure, beautiful and not after money. Everyone who sees them praises them as a perfect match.
But Su Ning didn't say that. After listening, he just said, "It is indeed a rare fate."
He did not flatter like others, but made Lu Fei feel comfortable. In particular, in his eyes, the two of them had the same business experience. When Su Ning mentioned Guangying Entertainment, he said: "It is said that inheriting such a big company is a good fortune, but when you do it, you will know that you are responsible for the entire company's rice bowl, and many times, you have no choice."
Lu Fei nodded frequently and chatted with Su Ning as if he had found a confidant. It was already past nine o'clock in the evening when the two of them got up from the table. Su Ning had time to check his phone, but didn't know that Shen Mingzheng had started sending messages at eight o'clock. At this point, he was already worried enough to call directly.
He was afraid that some people would harm Su Ning while he was away.
Boss Lu asked, "Who is it?"
"It's my family."
Su Ning raised his hand, and the ring on his hand flashed. Then he answered the phone and said a few words to Shen Mingzheng. The other party was relieved and hung up knowing that everything was going well.
It's too late now. If we rush to the airport now, we'll probably be late. We'll have to drive all night to get back. Rongcheng is quite far from Haicheng, so we won't be able to get home tonight.
"Why, are you worried that you'll be out playing late at night?" Mr. Lu teased him, "Tsk, you're still checking on me."
Mr. Lu is not in the same circle as them in the entertainment circle, and he is not in the vicinity of Haicheng, so it is normal that he does not know about the affairs of Su Ning and Shen Mingzheng.
"After all, I am worried," Su Ning smiled, "My family members are all like this."
Boss Lu seemed very satisfied with his answer. He glanced at his beautiful girlfriend next to him and said, "It's my fault. I was so happy chatting that I forgot the time. It's not safe to go down the mountain at this time. Why don't you stay here for one night? It won't be too late to leave tomorrow."
Su Ning: "I don't want to bother you, do I?"
"What's that?" Boss Lu waved his hand. "I have shares in this area. It's not like there's not enough room to live in. I can just clean up a room next door. If you're not busy, I'll take you around Rongcheng for a good tour."
"That's because I'm not so lucky," Su Ning sighed, "There have been too many things going on recently. I don't know how many people are watching my performance after I just inherited the company."
His words made the second generation boss Lu feel the same way. He was drunk again and wanted to become sworn brothers with Su Ning. He also asked him to call him Brother Lu instead of President Lu.
And since Su Ning is staying here tonight, he also wants to invite people to play video games.
But the wine was indeed strong. Mr. Lu drank quite a bit. When he stood up, he felt a little bit not sober. He planned to take a shower and come back. Then Su Ning and Ji Xue were taken to the game room upstairs by the servants. Then, Ji Xue asked the servants to cut some fruit and bring it up. Soon, they were the only two left there.
To be precise, Ji Xue was on the balcony and Su Ning was sitting on the sofa, with a considerable distance between them.
The door on this side was wide open and the partition wall was made of glass. The servant who was cutting fruit outside could see the two of them, but could not hear the conversation inside.
There was a sofa chair on the balcony, and Ji Xue leaned on it, looking at Su Ning, and said, "I heard from the teacher that you were looking for me?"
There are only two of us here, so there's no need to pretend.
Su Ning was very honest and nodded, "Yes."
He didn't ask how Ji Xue was doing. Su Ning had eyes and could see it all.
"Boss Su, this is quite interesting," Ji Xue smiled. "When the teacher first said that, he told me not to trust you or anyone else in the entertainment industry. Not long after that, when he called me last time, he hesitantly asked me if I wanted to trust you and give it a try, saying that many people in the industry have a good impression of you recently."
Su Ning was silent for a while, then said, "What your teacher and I promised is still valid. Ji Xue, you are still an artist of our company, and I have the obligation to help you clarify the false negative news."
Ji Xue did not answer. She changed her posture on the chair. She put on a coat and a skirt with sequins underneath. Her whole body was glowing white. When the lights were on, her whole body seemed to be glowing. She was the embodiment of gracefulness.
"Mr. Su, are you saying this because you think I will be moved? Do you think you will save me after such a long time, just like you saved Li Chu?" Her voice was indifferent. "Well, why don't you guess how you got this endorsement?"
Su Ning guessed something, but didn't answer.
In the conversation with President Lu just now, it was obvious that Ji Xue did not interfere in any of the company's business. She was like a nymphaeaceae raised by a man, but Su Ning felt that it was not that simple.
Su Ning felt it at the dinner table. Ji Xue didn't say much and seemed to have a low presence, but every word she said played a role in the development and transition of the topic, which kept Lu Fei excited. The two of them kept talking until this point.
As a businessman, no one would let the partner go down the mountain at this point. Su Ning would definitely stay here, and the two would inevitably have such a conversation.
At this time, Ji Xue spoke again.
"I was playing cards with Lu Fei before, and he picked it. He thought it was fun to play the game in which you have to admit defeat. So, he chose you."
Even though he didn't even recognize all the members of that idol group.
"He thought you were just lucky. Businessmen are somewhat superstitious. You have been doing well recently, and he thinks he is lucky."
Ji Xue smiled slightly and said, "But before the game, I knew who he would choose."
"Boss Su, I really don't know whether you are sincere or not, but the teacher said you are okay, so let's take it as a reward for your concern. It's just an endorsement. I'm giving you a small gift. It's better to give it to you for fun than to others. You are considered a special one in this circle."
"Anyway, no matter what, Liao Yuansi should forget about it."
At this point, her tone changed slightly.
No longer as gentle as before, she said in the cold wind from the balcony: "But please don't bother me in the future. I don't need you to save me."
"Boss Su, people should know themselves."
Su Ning knew what she meant.
After these few years, Ji Xue is no longer the helpless little girl she used to be. It’s too late for me to come.
Lu Fei, it can be seen that this man is deeply moved by her. Mr. Lu, who has a wealthy family and is generous, is enough to make her rich and prosperous for the rest of her life. It seems that nothing else in the world can move her.
It looks like a fairy, but if it is as Ji Xue said, the endorsement is controlled by her, and even everything that happened tonight was affected by her, even Lu Fei who felt that he was a knight or a prince who saved his lover.
Boss Lu came up quickly after taking a shower. Su Ning was still sitting on the sofa. The fruit had been cut and served, and Ji Xue had already finished a plate of food by herself.
She was very good at playing games, and her game results were displayed on the big screen. After she finished, she slowly lit a cigarette.
Lu Fei sat next to her and wanted to get closer but was slightly pushed away by her. Ji Xue never just went along with him when she was around him.
"You are soaked," she said, "and your hair is wet, dry it first."
Boss Lu sat on the carpet and looked at her. Ji Xue sat on the sofa and lit the lady's cigarette, but did not take a puff. She just looked at the winding smoke, so he asked.
"You know, I don't smoke," Ji Xue said, "I just held it in my hand and played with it."
She lowered her head and smiled, and bewitched Lu Fei so much that he forgot everything.
Su Ning didn't say much at this time.
He maintained the cooperative relationship with Lu Fei just like before. This endorsement was very important to Glory. The contract had been signed and there was no regret.
The next morning when he was going down the mountain, Su Ning saw a vendor selling roses on the roadside again. He thought about it, stopped the car, bought a big bunch from an old lady, put it in the trunk of his car and took it back home.
Every time Su Ning went out for a long time, he would bring back some things from outside. This was his way of returning the favor to Shen Mingzheng. After all, since he was living in someone else's house and was considered a roommate, he couldn't just do nothing.
The first time it was mint candy. Later when he went out, he brought clothes again, a winter coat that he picked out himself. Shen Mingzheng looked very good in it. The last time he brought an art vase.
Originally, Shen Mingzheng's house was not very popular, and many of the shelves were empty. However, the things that Su Ning brought back filled up the space little by little.
It seemed like a piece of cake to him, and it was also Su Ning's habit, but it was indeed becoming more and more like home.
Today, Su Ning brought back a big bouquet of flowers, which he put in the vase he brought back last time and placed in the dining room. It felt like the space came alive.
"I wanted to bring some Rongcheng specialties, but since you don't eat spicy food, I decided not to," Su Ning said, "This flower is pretty good. I'll bring it to you to see."
Shen Mingzheng kept smiling when he saw him come back, but when he turned around and habitually took Su Ning's coat and put it aside, his sensitive nose smelled the scent of ladies' cigarettes on it.
The smell of that brand of ladies' cigarettes is very special, very different from the smell of ordinary cigarettes, and it will remain on clothes once it gets on them.
Shen Mingzheng: ...
The corners of his mouth that were raised suddenly dropped.
In particular, he heard Su Ning, who had just returned, calling someone in the company and saying, "Please find me a female anchor's account. The key words are..."
