You Qiuqiu, "..."
slowly gave Cui Jiannan a slightly awkward smile. They met
on a narrow road, Cui Jiannan took the initiative to come over and greet You Qiuqiu. He saw that she was still smiling gently while eating what she was holding in her hand, but his tone was surprised, "Not full?"
Cui Jiannan packed a lot for You Qiuqiu, considering that her assistant was also there, it was enough for three people.
It's not that You Qiuqiu was not full, she just didn't touch the things that Brother Jiannan sent her.
You Qiuqiu wanted to eat the new product of McDonald's at that time, but President Sheng had already bought it for her. After eating it, You Qiuqiu felt that it was just so-so. The new product was very good and creative, but she chose the classic one.
Barbecue and the like were also You Qiuqiu's favorites, but maybe it was because he had been sitting on the plane for a long time and felt a little cold from the air conditioning, so he suddenly couldn't eat greasy food.
You Qiuqiu skipped the explanation and nodded, "Yeah."
Cui Jiannan, "Is that so."
There was not much change in his tone or expression, but You Qiuqiu still interpreted that in the eyes of the other party, his stomach was probably a black hole.
"..." It's a black hole.
"Brother Jiannan, I'm going up."
You Qiuqiu pointed to the elevator. Because of the sudden care and text messages, You Qiuqiu didn't really want to be in the same space with Cui Jiannan.
However, the other party said, "We are already downstairs, do you want to go to the movies together?"
He explained, "My new movie is released, and there is a movie theater near the hotel."
Jiang Tao was already sweating with anxiety. Is Teacher Cui serious?
You Qiuqiu clenched the bag of preserved egg and lean meat porridge and raised her palm-sized face, "I am just taking advantage of you. You invited me to dinner and invited me to watch a movie. This is not very nice."
Cui Jiannan, "There is nothing to be embarrassed about."
"Qiuqiu also gave me tea, I tried it and it tastes good."
"At most..."
he said, "Qiuqiu has also made a movie, so you can treat me back after your movie is released?"
After a back and forth, this was considered an appointment for the next meeting.
You Qiuqiu showed a hesitant expression, "But my movie... filmed a vegetative person." So he was serious about asking her to treat him back to watch a movie?
She didn't even plan to invite relatives and friends.
What did you go to see? To see her lying there the whole time?
Cui Jiannan didn't expect to get such an answer. He didn't know what to say for a moment. After all, being a vegetable or something like that involved his blind spot in knowledge .
"It's okay, take your time."
"When I first debuted, I also played a dead person."
"I was young at that time, and I cherished playing a dead person. Then I looked for the camera specifically, wanting to take the opportunity to show my face, and was discovered by the director..."
You Qiuqiu had never heard of these, because in her impression, Cui Jiannan had always played the leading role. He had played the leading role for more than ten years, and she didn't expect that he would also play a corpse.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
Being discovered by a discerning director, he has since embarked on the path of a big male protagonist, singing all the way, and finally becoming a powerful actor who has left his name in the international film industry?
Cui Jiannan smiled and shook his head, "The director said, that dead man, turn your head to the side, don't steal the spotlight."
It can be said that it is very real.
Cui Jiannan, "So, actors all start out playing small roles. It is not ruled out that there are some lucky ones, but since you are not lucky, you should play every role well, whether it is a dead person or a vegetative person, what do you think?" You
Qiuqiu, "Yeah."
You Qiuqiu was greatly inspired by these few words with Cui Jiannan.
The originally awkward atmosphere was instantly eased after talking about this, and You Qiuqiu felt that the gentle elder in front of him was still there.
Then Cui Jiannan spoke again.
"Let's not watch the movie. Let's go to the rooftop and stand for a while."
Jiang Tao originally thought that since the topic had changed, there would be nothing to say. Who knew that Cui Jiannan actually invited You Qiuqiu to the rooftop?
She opened her mouth and wanted to refuse on behalf of You Qiuqiu, but she had never encountered such a situation before, and she didn't know how to start the conversation. She was also afraid of offending Cui Jiannan.
After all, there is no doubt that Cui Jiannan has a wide network of contacts in the circle for so many years. If her actions really annoyed Cui Jiannan, there is no doubt that it will not backfire on Qiuqiu.
Over there, You Qiuqiu saw that people were coming and going in the hotel lobby, and it was obviously inappropriate to talk about things standing here.
She was fine, but Cui Jiannan was well-known, and in just a short while, he attracted a lot of curious looks.
So You Qiuqiu agreed.
"Okay."
Although Brother Jiannan seemed easy to talk to, he had a tone that left no room for doubt.
You Qiuqiu saw that he couldn't avoid it.
So he went up to them and started talking.
Jiang Tao followed them to the rooftop. Cui Jiannan didn't mean to send him away. He was especially gentlemanly and took the initiative to press the elevator button. This made Jiang Tao feel a little more at ease, but only a little.
You Qiuqiu, the person involved, seemed to be calmer than Jiang Tao.
...
The hotel rooftop was decorated in a petty-bourgeois style, with many flowers, trees and plants, like a small garden, and European-style white tables and chairs for people to rest. Because it was night, the lights on the rooftop were turned on, and many of them were wrapped around the branches, like stars.
A handsome man and a beautiful woman stood side by side. The man looked a little older, but because of proper maintenance, there were not too many traces of time on his face. He also had a elegance and stability that young people did not have.
The woman was very young, like a flower bud that had just bloomed, pretty and charming.
It really looked like an idol drama.
If Jiang Tao hadn't paced back and forth not far away, and You Qiuqiu hadn't opened her mouth and said, "There are a lot of mosquitoes here."
Cui Jiannan, "Then just stand there for a while and then leave."
"Qiuqiu, you seem to be avoiding me."
"Did I do something wrong? Did I make you uncomfortable?"
You Qiuqiu was still thinking about how to bring up this topic, but unexpectedly, it was Cui Jiannan who took the initiative to bring it up.
He leaned on the railing casually, just looking at her with a smile.
You Qiuqiu shook her head first, then thought for a while. Cui Jiannan didn't mean to urge her, and after a few minutes she finally spoke.
"Brother Jiannan, the entertainment company I work for is very small. Because of its small size, the boss is also very stingy. He has very strict requirements on us and tells us that we must focus on our careers and not do anything else outside of our careers."
"If you really cross the line, the consequences will be terrible."
You Qiuqiu said while silently shouting to President Sheng in her heart: I'm sorry! You still have to take the blame first!
But she had no choice and couldn't think of the right words for a while.
You Qiuqiu wanted to nip in the bud that Brother Jiannan was not suitable by hinting at it. She couldn't just reject him by saying that he was a good person or something, after all, he didn't clearly express his affection for her.
She said that... Brother Jiannan should have gotten what she meant, right?
You Qiuqiu was warning and even let Sheng Shiyun be blamed, meaning that the company didn't allow romance and that he had to focus on his career.
However, she looked at Cui Jiannan with a little trepidation and expectation, hoping that he would understand what she meant.
Cui Jiannan obviously didn't understand.
He frowned, "Which company have you signed with?"
"That's too unreliable."
"You're an actor, not an idol, why should your freedom be restricted?"
Cui Jiannan knows a lot of industry rules. For example, idol careers are popular now. For example, Fang Shubai, as a person who sells a bit of a male persona, has an agreement with the company, and during the agreement period, he is prohibited from doing anything out of line.
But You Qiuqiu is an actor, why does the company have such a rule?
Some actors are even experientialists, which means that they need to have real life experiences to act. For example, if they want to play a doctor, they may have to stay in the hospital for a period of time to observe the doctor's work and life. If they have the conditions, they will even follow the whole process.
Cui Jiannan didn't know which school You Qiuqiu belonged to, but no matter which school, the performing company shouldn't restrict an actor. If You Qiuqiu was an experientialist, then the performing company was even more ridiculous and unreasonable!
Cui Jiannan, "Would you like to come to my studio? My benefits are pretty good in the industry, and there aren't too many rules and regulations."
He was relatively humble. Cui Jiannan's studio mainly serves Cui Jiannan. He has been the leading actor for more than a decade, won the best actor award at home and abroad, and has a top team.
You Qiuqiu's response to such an invitation was: ???
No, she's not going to change companies.
Why did the topic go so far?
You Qiuqiu was really about to explode. After refusing Cui Jiannan's request to let her go to his studio to sign a contract, You Qiuqiu changed her words.
"Our whole family likes your work. I have watched a lot of your TV series since I can remember."
So she treats Cui Jiannan as a younger generation treating an elder. There will be no love between men and women. There is no possibility of that. Even if the other party has it, she will feel uneasy and panic.
Cui Jiannan paused, "Qiuqiu, do you mean that you grew up watching my TV series?"
He finally came to his senses now, "You... don't think that I have other feelings for you, do you?"
You Qiuqiu blinked: Huh?
From this meaning...
it seems like a misunderstanding? !
That's great.
Cui Jiannan supported his forehead with his hand. He finally figured out why You Qiuqiu used to be very comfortable with him, but was so weird today.
If he made her misunderstand that he had other ideas about her, then that's it.
In fact, when Cui Jiannan thinks back on his actions today, he can't help but think of something wrong.
However -
"Qiuqiu, don't worry, I don't have any romantic feelings for you."
Cui Jiannan's expression was very sincere and frank.
He is almost forty years old, and You Qiuqiu is just a girl in her early twenties. Cui Jiannan doesn't think he is a good person, but he is not that dirty either.
He really treats You Qiuqiu as a junior.
You Qiuqiu is getting more and more relaxed, which is good.
Cui Jiannan, "You look like my sister."
You Qiuqiu regained the breath that had just been relaxed.
A song began to play in her mind.
"How many good sisters do you have..."
Cui Jiannan saw such doubts in You Qiuqiu's eyes. He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his expression was a little sad, and he said to You Qiuqiu in a voice that was almost like a dream.
"She is my biological sister, her name is Cui Xiangbei."
"But she has passed away. She has passed away for fifteen years. She was about your age."
His eyes fell on You Qiuqiu's face.
You Qiuqiu got an unexpected answer.
...
Cui Jiannan cared so much about You Qiuqiu because he saw the shadow of his deceased biological sister in her.
In the following time, Cui Jiannan summarized his biological sister Cui Xiangbei in a few words.
More than 70% of the people in the country know Cui Jiannan's name, or at least are familiar with him, but very few know his biological sister.
For example, You Qiuqiu didn't even know that he had a sister.
Cui Jiannan's family is ordinary, his parents are farmers, but the two children raised by him have literary and artistic cells. Cui Jiannan is handsome and elegant, while Cui Xiangbei is beautiful and impatient, and likes rock music.
After Cui Jiannan worked hard and gradually became a popular young actor at the time and became popular in the entertainment industry, Cui Xiangbei also began to try. Her ideal is different from her brother's. She wants to form her own rock band.
However, this was opposed by Cui Jiannan.
"The longer I stay in the circle, the more I feel that this circle is too chaotic and too tiring. There are many utilitarian things. At that time, I didn't understand why Xiangbei had to rush in, so I did the wrong thing."
"After many persuasions, she still didn't give up the idea. I said something harsh to Xiangbei and we parted on bad terms."
The words were really harsh. Cui Jiannan himself didn't know why he was so radical at that time.
Why don't you count on taking shortcuts by relying on his connections? What else do you have besides the title of Cui Jiannan's sister?
But she was clearly a talented girl. How could he crush her dream to pieces?
Cui Xiangbei raised her head and loudly refuted, saying that she never planned to enter the entertainment industry under the title of Cui Jiannan's sister.
"Just wait and see, brother. I will definitely be more popular than you. You will tell others that you are Cui Xiangbei's brother."
Cui Jiannan still remembers that his sister had a boy's hair at that time, and her eyes were as energetic as her hair.
That was the last time they met, but Cui Jiannan was watching his sister coldly at that time.
He saw that his sister really formed a band, changed her name to Beibei, cut her hair even shorter, like a little hedgehog, sang and participated in activities with her teammates, arm in arm. He
saw that his sister's band was not as frivolous as he imagined, but was well-organized, and Cui Xiangbei had never said in front of the media that he was her brother.
Then, when her band gradually began to achieve results and was about to move to the next level, a major traffic accident occurred.
...
"Fifteen years."
"In the first few years, I suffered from insomnia almost all night long. I just couldn't fall asleep. I was wondering if I was wrong?"
"I'm sure I was wrong."
"I really want to go back to fifteen years ago and give away everything I have now. I would be willing to go back to fifteen years ago in exchange." "
Then I will tell Beibei, do it if you want to. Brother supports you. Brother will use the best resources and support you with all his strength." Don't leave any regrets.
Cui Jiannan's tone and expression were very restrained, but every word made people feel that he was carrying great sorrow.
You Qiuqiu is not very good at comforting people. She listened silently the whole time. As a listener, she saw Cui Jiannan looking at her, and then she said, "The dead are gone, and the living are like this."
with a little caution.
There is nothing that can be empathized with, especially in this situation of losing a family member, no matter how much comfort is given, it will be in vain.
"Qiuqiu, you are very similar to Beibei."
Cui Jiannan stared at You Qiuqiu, his eyes were extremely gentle, as if he saw someone else through her.
You Qiuqiu, "...", was fidgeting, and it was a bit difficult to stand.
It's over, now it has become a script, from a suspected love script to a stand-in plot.
Cui Jiannan showed You Qiuqiu a photo of Cui Xiangbei.
Wearing a leather jacket, a short haircut, smiling at the camera generously.
She is a very handsome sister with a high-class face.
Even though it has been fifteen years, it is not outdated at all.
But...
"I don't think I'm very similar to Sister Xiangbei. She's so positive, and I'm so lazy..." Cui Xiangbei has single eyelids, she has double eyelids, Cui Xiangbei has short hair, she has long hair.
If there's a similarity, it's probably that the arc of our smiles is somewhat similar?
You Qiuqiu's answer was a real bummer.
Cui Jiannan, "You feel very similar."
He put away those sad emotions, restored his previous gentleness, and persuaded her patiently.
"Qiuqiu, don't worry about anything. I want to make up for the regrets in my heart. I want to see how far Xiangbei will go if I protect him well..."
"You just need to talk to me when you are free, and occasionally get together when you are in the same city. If you feel bothered, you don't have to get together. It doesn't matter."
You Qiuqiu took two steps back. "Brother Jiannan, are you pretending to be my sister to make up for the regrets?"
"Although I'm sorry... But I'm not Cui Xiangbei, I'm You Qiuqiu."
...
She has a beautiful face that stands out in the circle, but she is not very Buddhist, like a cobblestone without edges and corners. Until now, she still doesn't speak hurriedly, but her eyes are clear.
Polite but powerfully rejected Cui Jiannan's idea.
She said she is not Cui Xiangbei, she is You Qiuqiu.
No one can replace anyone. This is a truth that Youqiuqiu has known since she was a child.
When she was a child, she raised a yellow duck for homework. The duck kept quacking and it felt warm in her palm. Youqiuqiu liked it very much.
In the end, the duck went to the duck planet. The little monk Youqiuqiu cried a lot. His father wanted to buy him another one. When he arrived at the market, he saw a group of yellow ducks. Youqiuqiu suddenly didn't want it.
That was not her duck, not the duck with white hair on its head that would run behind her.
Cui Jiannan was stunned. He said to You Qiuqiu, "Qiuqiu, I don't know whether to say you are stupid or smart. Do you know what you are rejecting?" What you
are rejecting is the connections he has accumulated over the years, the carefree future, and the huge sums of money.
Want to get rich overnight?
Perhaps, the door that Cui Jiannan opened for You Qiuqiu will help her realize it.
You Qiuqiu glanced at the dusk and said, "It's late, Brother Jiannan, go to bed early."
Her preserved egg and lean meat porridge is probably going to get cold.
You Qiuqiu knows what she has rejected, but... that was not hers in the first place.
Cui Jiannan looked at You Qiuqiu deeply for a while and said, "Is it because you are afraid that your boyfriend will misunderstand?"
You Qiuqiu: ???
How come she doesn't know that she has a boyfriend.
Was it allocated by the state? They didn’t tell her!
Cui Jiannan pointed to a place not far behind You Qiuqiu and said, “You’ve been staring at us for a while.”
…
You Qiuqiu turned her head away quickly and was almost choked to death by her own saliva.
Not far away, the man in a suit and leather shoes was tall and slender, no less than a professional model. He had a handsome face that looked like an elite. He wore gold-rimmed glasses, which made him look even more like one.
But, that was her boss.
Mr. Sheng!
Which office worker would be so desperate as to fall in love with his boss? Are they trying to kill themselves?
Seeing that both of them were looking at him, Sheng Shiyun knew that their conversation should come to an end, so Sheng Shiyun walked over, shook hands with Cui Jiannan, introduced himself, and exchanged a few pleasantries.
He took You Qiuqiu away.
Cui Jiannan might have been rejected by You Qiuqiu, and he didn't want to continue the conversation very much, so he didn't stop them.
Jiang Tao, Sheng Shiyun, and You Qiuqiu were in the elevator, and Sheng Shiyun was the first to speak.
"What did Cui Jiannan talk to you about just now?"
You Qiuqiu looked up at the ceiling of the elevator, "Mr. Sheng, is this working time or private time?"
She did not answer Sheng Shiyun immediately, but asked this question instead.
The man's eyes under the gold-rimmed glasses said "What are you up to again?"
But he still answered You Qiuqiu, "Private time."
Even though the work of artists is more special and they don't work from nine to five like other office workers, You Qiuqiu has finished filming the variety show now, and it is indeed private time so late.
You Qiuqiu was excited, "Then... it's a secret."
If it was during working hours, she would have to consider how to say it, but since it was private time, she didn't want to say it.
And You Qiuqiu didn't think she could tell others about the death of Jiannan's brother and sister.
Sheng Shiyun, "..."
stared at You Qiuqiu's face in silence for three seconds.
He didn't say anything else, but looked at the jumping numbers on the elevator seriously, as if he could see flowers on them.
You Qiuqiu was now in a relaxed mood, and she began to wonder why President Sheng appeared here.
"Didn't he say that he was busy today and didn't have time to pick us up, but now he has time?"
Or did Jiang Tao urgently summon President Sheng.
Sheng Shiyun moved his thin lips and gave You Qiuqiu two words with dignity.
"Secret."
He returned the words that You Qiuqiu had just said to her intact.
You Qiuqiu: ???
No, why is President Sheng so naughty, this is not consistent with his style.
You Qiuqiu stared at the man's smooth profile for a long time. She had reason to suspect that the President Sheng in front of her might be a fake.
...
"Did you go to see You Qiuqiu?"
Cui Jiannan's agent asked after he came down from the rooftop.
Cui Jiannan's agent seemed to have been prepared. As his closest partner, she knew everything Cui Jiannan was thinking.
"Yeah."
Cui Jiannan sat on the sofa and smiled bitterly.
Cui Jiannan's agent was a little surprised to see the other party's performance, "Not successful?"
"Yes."
"How is it possible? Didn't you tell her what you would give her and she doesn't need to pay anything?"
Cui Jiannan's agent didn't expect to get a negative answer. After all, this can be said to be a blessing from heaven. Any newcomer in the entertainment industry would not refuse it.
It doesn't have to be a newcomer. Those popular young actresses would not refuse it either.
Is that You Qiuqiu stupid?
Cui Jiannan, "But she refused." She said she was not Cui Xiangbei, but You Qiuqiu.
"Maybe she hasn't come to her senses yet. She will definitely regret it." Agent Cui Jiannan said firmly. This is clearly a sure-win deal. Why didn't she encounter such a good thing?
You Qiuqiu is so unlucky. She is so lucky, but she still pushes it away?
Who is crazy?
The agent heard Cui Jiannan's cell phone ringing.
"Who is it?"
Cui Jiannan, "You Qiuqiu."
The agent said, "I said, she will definitely regret looking for you. Did she apologize to you?"
Cui Jiannan shook his fingers, "You guessed wrong."
"She said that the tea was selected by their boss, and...she is allergic to lilies."
Cui Jiannan's eyes paused for a few seconds.
The agent didn't understand the situation, but Cui Jiannan knew why.
He said before that he really liked the tea sent by You Qiuqiu. He likes drinking tea and thought that You Qiuqiu had specially selected it. Now she told him that it was actually the boss who selected it. He asked the agent to send the lilies when You Qiuqiu was in the hospital.
Cui Xiangbei likes lilies.
But You Qiuqiu is allergic to lilies.
If Cui Jiannan still placed his feelings for Cui Xiangbei on You Qiuqiu until he saw the message, then now...
it's gone.
Cui Xiangbei is Cui Xiangbei, the Cui Xiangbei who will always stay in fifteen years ago.
No one can replace her.
He is childish.
"Don't mention this matter again in the future."
Cui Jiannan said to the agent in a serious tone.
The agent knew that he was serious and nodded.
"But, what are the similarities between You Qiuqiu and your sister?" This is what she has always wondered.
She had also met Cui Xiangbei, but she didn't think he had anything in common with You Qiuqiu.
"Yes, if they are determined to do something, they will definitely do it."
Cui Jiannan saw that the agent still didn't believe it, so he picked up the water cup at hand and said, "Just watch."
Beibei made him proud and regretful, but You Qiuqiu wouldn't be bad either.
...
You Qiuqiu returned to her room and swallowed her cold preserved egg and lean meat porridge with tears in her eyes.
Awoo, awoo, awoo, she lost the chance to get rich overnight. She
could only use food to comfort her soul.
But it was so cold...
The preserved egg and lean meat porridge was originally warm, but it was cooled down on the rooftop.
The preserved egg and lean meat porridge, it caught a cold.
Then You Qiuqiu's porridge was taken away by a hand that suddenly stretched out.
You Qiuqiu opened her mouth wide, "Awoo--" the evil dragon roared.
"You want to bite me?" The owner of the hand looked down at her and stretched his hand to her mouth, "Bite it."
It was Sheng Shiyun. After he came down from the rooftop, he followed Jiang Tao and You Qiuqiu into their room.
Sheng Shiyun felt that You Qiuqiu was like a small country dog guarding food. When he took the porridge just now, she opened her mouth as if she really wanted to bite him.
You Qiuqiu, "..." Bah, no bite, no washing of hands.
She didn't admit that she didn't dare, and forced a fake smile, "Mr. Sheng, how could I bite you? We are all civilized people."
But her eyes were still staring at the porridge she had been thinking about.
"I didn't eat much."
"I went to record a variety show this time, and I didn't gain weight or become a bitch."
So why didn't she let her drink that bowl of porridge?
Is there any justice and law?
Sheng Shiyun, "Yeah." He
responded, took the century egg and lean meat porridge away, and took it out?
He used practical actions to tell You Qiuqiu that it is justice and law that pay wages.
Even Jiang Tao felt that Mr. Sheng was a little too much, "How about having some McDonald's?"
There was still a lot left.
But Sheng Shiyun didn't let You Qiuqiu wait too long, and he returned again.
This time he came back with century egg and lean meat porridge again, but it was hot, and there were two thousand layer cakes.
"Ask the hotel restaurant to heat it up." He said.
