Chapter 41 Gold "Shall I give you a golden gift in the future?"
It was Tang Lirong, Qiao Zhizheng’s former good friend.
Few people know that Qiao Zhizheng is allergic to peach fuzz, and Tang Lirong is one of the few people who is allergic to peach fuzz.
Ever since the stunt with the stand-in actor, Qiao Zhizheng didn't take the initiative, and Tang Lirong felt guilty about it, so she never contacted Qiao Zhizheng again. The two of them went from being able to talk about anything to just being on the contact list.
Tang Lirong has complicated feelings towards Qiao Zhizheng.
When Qiao Zhizheng was still a wealthy young lady, Tang Lirong envied and admired her, and there was a subtle hint of jealousy in her heart, but Qiao Zhizheng's caring attitude suppressed it tightly and did not give it a chance to see the light of day.
After Qiao Zhizheng's family fell into poverty, many of her friends, at the instigation of their parents, either voluntarily or unwillingly distanced themselves from her. Surprisingly, the only person left by Qiao Zhizheng's side was Tang Lirong, who was once inconspicuous among her friends.
Tang Lirong comes from a middle-class family, and her family members have little connection with the business world. Tang Lirong does not need to worry about approaching Qiao Zhizheng. With Tang Lirong's active approach, their relationship becomes better than before.
It is easy to add icing on the cake, but it is also easy to provide timely help.
During the time when the incident happened at home, Qiao Zhizheng was in a trance and did not realize that Tang Lirong's active approach had ulterior motives. Perhaps he saw it subconsciously, but it was too difficult to bear the pressure alone. He stayed awake all night, listening to the dripping sound of the faucet in the kitchen that was not closed tightly into the sink. At this time, it was a rare blessing for someone to approach him and talk to him occasionally. He could only suppress the doubts in his heart and pretend that everything was fine.
When Tang Lirong saw Qiao Zhizheng's miserable appearance, she felt a little worried and looked down upon her with pity.
——Qiao Zhizheng, how did you become like this today?
——Qiao Zhizheng, you have come to this day.
Tang Lirong couldn't understand. Qiao Zhizheng had fallen so far, yet she still acted so resilient. Who did she think she was? A down-and-out rich girl from an idol drama? A Prince Charming to save her? Forget it. Life wasn't a TV show. Why couldn't Qiao Zhizheng just accept life's fate? There were shortcuts, weren't there?
The jealousy in Tang Lirong's heart came out. As she watched Qiao Zhizheng working hard to live, that tiny bit of jealousy continued to grow until it developed into a behemoth that even shocked herself.
The two of them auditioned together for the second female lead in Qiao Zhizheng's first web drama. Qiao Zhizheng was selected, but Tang Lirong was not.
Tang Lirong was indignant. What right did Qiao Zhizheng have? Just because of her good looks?
When Qiao Zhizheng was banned for fighting back against the director who tried to take advantage of her, Tang Lirong felt relieved. She got in because of her looks, but was kicked out because of her looks. But, Qiao Zhizheng, even in this situation, why can't you learn to bow your head?
Tang Lirong was well aware of the conflict between the female lead and the second female lead in the crew of "Locking Spring Deep". The stand-in actors recruited were affected and left one after another. After hesitating for a moment, she half-heartedly introduced the job to Qiao Zhizheng.
Tang Lirong narrowed her eyes, with infinite expectations rising in her heart. Qiao Zhizheng, this time, you should learn to bow to life.
"Zhizhi, I have a new job here, would you like to try it?"
The gears of fate began to move, and Qiao Zhizheng turned a disaster into a blessing and became the second female lead in "Locking Spring Deeply".
Tang Lirong thought, she was just the second female lead in a web drama.
The day when Qiao Zhizheng became popular.
Tang Lirong couldn't hold it in any longer. She stared at the overwhelming video clips of Qiao Zhizheng on the screen, gritting her teeth and saying, "How can you ever make a comeback?!"
The news in the circle is always more sensitive than that outside the circle. The day after Qiao Zhizheng's successful audition, Tang Lirong immediately learned this uneasy news.
"Qiao Zhizheng, Qiao Zhizheng, you are so lucky. You are so popular and have been favored by a famous director."
If Qiao Zhizheng was as unknown in the circle as Tang Lirong, Tang Lirong might not have been so upset.
But why?
In the past, Qiao Zhizheng had an enviable family background and stunning looks. She was admired for her character and talent. God gave her the best of everything, but took it back when she was at the peak of her career.
Later, Qiao Zhizheng became so poor that he could only rent a small, renovated corner house. When Tang Lirong went to see Qiao Zhizheng's rental house for the first time, she looked worried, but there was a hint of inappropriate joy in her heart.
Tang Lirong hopes that Qiao Zhizheng will live like this for the rest of his life and will never be able to surpass Tang Lirong, whether in family or future.
But, but, Qiao Zhizheng is now more successful than before.
Tang Lirong knew that Qiao Zhizheng was participating in an important jewelry brand event. Tang Lirong used all the resources she could mobilize but still couldn't get into it.
The flame of jealousy burned fiercely in her heart. She bribed a fake fan to deliver a letter to Qiao Zhizheng. The envelope was covered with peach hairs that Tang Lirong had carefully scraped off with a small scraper. She understood Qiao Zhizheng's character and knew that she would definitely accept it and would inevitably be contaminated by it.
Everything went as Tang Lirong expected. When Assistant Qiao Zhizheng hurriedly went to buy allergy medicine, Tang Lirong was watching from the building opposite. She saw Xia Ying hurriedly go in and out after buying the medicine, and then she welcomed a fully armed man into the building. Before the man entered, he looked back at the building where Tang Lirong was. Knowing that the man could not see her, Tang Lirong subconsciously took two steps back.
The next day, Tang Lirong heard from others that Qiao Zhizheng successfully attended the brand dinner and her performance was unexpectedly good.
Not long after, Qiao Zhizheng's company sued Tang Lirong with evidence. The moment she received the notice, Tang Lirong knew that her reputation was completely ruined.
He was already unknown, and now he was completely suppressed and would never be able to make a breakthrough.
Especially seeing that because of this incident, Qiao Zhizheng's fans felt more sympathy for Qiao Zhizheng, the fans' cohesion became stronger, and the comment section was full of heartwarming words comforting Qiao Zhizheng.
Seeing Qiao Zhizheng enjoying such glory is more painful than killing Tang Lirong.
"Hmph~ She will have a long time of suffering in the future." Qiao Zhizheng said proudly.
Qiao Zhizheng asked Qiao Zheng again, "Did she treat you like this before?"
Qiao Zheng shook her head. "It's not the same thing, but the methods are similar. After all, she knows us quite well."
Qiao Zhizheng wanted to say, "Everything is fine now," but when she got to her lips, she felt that the words would sound too condescending. She had not experienced everything that Qiao Zheng had experienced, but she could get a glimpse of it from Qiao Zhizheng's current personality. Qiao Zhizheng felt that she was not qualified to summarize the current situation, so she just remained silent.
In the silence, Qiao Zheng turned the page and said, "Don't worry about things that are not worth it. Why don't you tell me what your recent work arrangements are."
Qiao Zhizheng honestly told about the three resources he had.
Something was lingering in Qiao Zheng's mind, and it was still far from happening. Qiao Zheng thought about it and said, "If there's any strange girl around you, please keep an eye on her for me."
"Strange? How strange? Are there any specific details?"
Qiao Zheng had only met her briefly once and hadn't left much of an impression. Even after trying hard to recall her, she couldn't come up with a clear idea. She said uncertainly, "Maybe she'll take the initiative to talk to you? To ask you not to act in a certain play?"
Qiao Zhizheng was silent. "Your description is too broad."
A senior once said that once you become famous, you will be surrounded by good people. Although Qiao Zhizheng is not particularly famous, people with less status than her will take the initiative to come up and talk to her. Sometimes when she meets people of the same status who are jealous of her, they will tell Qiao Zhizheng not to compete with her for a certain play or resource.
Qiao Zheng knew that her definition was too general, so she was silent for a moment. "Just keep an eye on it. If you find anything, feel free to contact me."
"Okay, then how about having dinner together tonight? I found a really good private restaurant."
Qiao Zheng, who had lost half her composure due to needing help, agreed, "I'll pick you up from the company after I'm done."
"Yeah! I haven't even seen your new car yet."
"You'll see it soon."
Yes, that's right. Our Qiao Zheng, who had superb driving skills but no driver's license in the Qiao Zhizheng timeline, finally used his spare time to pass the driving test and got a new car.
Qiao Zhizheng wondered what Qiao Zheng’s new car would look like.
According to Qiao Zhizheng's aesthetic, basic black and white are fine, soft nude pink is also good, and the more romantic pink and purple gradient color is the most ideal.
Qiao Zhizheng's expectations were dashed the moment he saw Qiao Zheng's car.
After looking again and again and confirming that it was Qiao Zheng in the driver's seat, Qiao Zhizheng covered her face, lowered her head, and quickly walked to the passenger seat, opened the door, and got in the car, remaining silent all the way.
While waiting for the traffic light at an intersection, Qiao Zheng tilted her head and asked Qiao Zhizheng, "Why aren't you talking?"
Qiao Zhizheng's words turned around several times in her mind before she spoke as tactfully as possible, "...Qiao Zheng, why do you like such bright colors?"
The word "dazzling" is not enough to describe this car; the word "blinding" would be more appropriate.
gold!
With a fluorescent golden body and perfectly smooth lines, it shines brightly in the sun. In the traffic, no black, white, blue or red car can compare to it.
I don’t know if it was Qiao Zhizheng’s illusion, but I always felt that other people outside the window with the anti-peep film were looking at the car intentionally or unintentionally. Qiao Zhizheng wore his mask, sunglasses and hat set tighter.
The corners of Qiao Zheng's mouth curved up in satisfaction, and her words were as warm as the sunshine outside the window. "Ah~ Gold is a very reassuring color."
Qiao Zhizheng's sense of shame slowly dissipated as she spoke. Seeing how happy she was, she smiled with satisfaction, "Gold really does look good!"
I made a silent decision in my heart that from now on, gold will be my, Qiao Zhizheng's favorite color.
Qiao Zheng tsk-tsk-tsk-tsked her because of her completely different attitude before and after.
Qiao Zhizheng laughed shamelessly.
Qiao Zhizheng asked tentatively, "Will I give you a golden gift in the future?"
Qiao Zheng's answer was very simple and unpretentious, "No, just give me gold."
"good!"
Qiao Zheng and Qiao Zhizheng sat in the car, heading towards the golden afterglow and sunset.
When you are used to a peaceful life, there will always be a small accident that breaks the peace.
What Qiao Zheng was worried about happened earlier than expected.
