Chapter 262
The elevator goes directly to each floor, and you cannot go to the top floor without the password. I guess this person is the new neighbor who moved in across the street.
Thinking of this, Jiang Qiao opened the door, and the next moment he was stunned.
The man was taller than she thought, with handsome and cold eyebrows, dark eyes, a straight nose, and lips that were neither thick nor thin, slightly pursed. He looked a little cold.
From a safe distance, Jiang Qiao was mesmerized and unexpectedly met the man's focused and serious black eyes. There was an emotion in his eyes that she couldn't understand.
Jiang Qiao suddenly felt a little breathless. She looked away first, and unconsciously tightened her grip on the door handle: "Excuse me, is there anything I can help you with?"
Lu Xun did not miss the alertness and strangeness in the girl's eyes. He slowly stopped knocking on the door and pursed his lips: "Sorry, the noise from moving furniture is a bit loud. I hope I don't disturb you."
Jiang Qiao did hear a noise just now, and he had no doubt about the man's words. Just as he was about to say "nothing", he caught a glimpse of the silver hearing aid on the man's ear.
Under the incandescent light of the corridor, the silver hearing aid had a mechanical and cold feeling for no reason. Because it was worn on the ear and slightly hidden by the black hair, Jiang Qiao did not notice it just now.
Realizing what she was looking at, Lu Xun’s body froze instantly, his throat dry: “……This is a hearing aid.”
“I can hear…”
The man's voice was calm, but his tightly pursed lips showed that he was not as calm and composed as he appeared.
Jiang Qiao couldn't tell what she felt. She wasn't an emotional person, but when she saw the man carefully explaining to her, she felt depressed for no reason.
There was no reason for the sadness, but it swept over her like a tide. After a while, she said "hmm" softly.
The air became quiet and inexplicably stuffy. Jiang Qiao took a deep breath and said, "It's not time to rest yet. Don't worry about disturbing me."
Jiang Qiao said politely: "Call me if you need help."
The girl spoke in a distant tone but with a polite smile. Lu Xun looked at her for a while before looking away. He said softly, "Thank you..."
This brief encounter was like a dream, and Jiang Qiao never met her new neighbor again until the end of the vacation.
"Xiao Qiao, what are you daydreaming about?"
Zheng Min's voice rang in his ears, and Jiang Qiao came back to his senses and shook his head: "Nothing."
"I told you several times but it was useless, and you still said it was okay." Zheng Min put the script down and frowned, "Did you stay up late playing games again last night?"
"I've told you a long time ago not to stay up late. Female celebrities can't stand it and it's easy for them to age prematurely!" Zheng Min said.
Jiang Qiao was somewhat helpless: "I really didn't, I was just distracted just now."
She has been feeling listless these past few days, so how could she have the mood to play games?
Jiang Qiao's tone was too sincere, Zheng Min reluctantly believed it and took the script again: "Take a look at this script, it's a TV series adapted from a novel, the original novel is very popular, and the plot is not bad either."
In recent years, the entertainment industry has been popularizing the adaptation of novels into films and TV series. Several of them have become popular, with ancient idol dramas being the most popular. Jiang Qiao only took a glance and put it down: "Sister Zheng, is this another ancient idol drama?"
"What's wrong with ancient idol drama?" Zheng Min didn't care: "This is a big IP, it's easy to become a big hit. Wasn't your last big hit a ancient idol drama?"
"Can I consider it?" Jiang Qiao negotiated.
This "consideration" was basically hopeless. Zheng Min knew her very well, but Jiang Qiao was now the company's cash cow, so she could only hold on to him. She sighed and said, "Then I'll go see if there are any other good scripts."
"Thank you, Sister Zheng." Jiang Qiao said with a smile.
As soon as Zheng Min left, Tang Hao got the news and walked in angrily: "You are so picky, don't you want to make money?"
He just said it casually, but he didn't expect Jiang Qiao to nod and spread his hands: "I really don't want to earn money anymore."
Although the girl said this with a smile, her expression was somewhat serious. Tang Hao frowned, sat down, and stopped being sarcastic: "This is not like your style......"
Influenced by her upbringing, Jiang Qiao has always been a little heartless. Apart from acting, she has never been passionate about anything. She neither falls in love nor takes the initiative to make friends with others.
Now he doesn’t even want to act, there must be something wrong.
"Tell me, what stimulated you?"
Tang Hao was determined to get to the bottom of it, but Jiang Qiao just said indifferently, "I've earned enough. I want to rest."
Tang Hao: “………………………………”
He couldn't find any fault with this simple reason.
"Do you think it's okay to say this in front of your boss?" Tang Hao gritted his teeth.
Jiang Qiao said innocently: "You insisted on asking me."
Tang Hao: “………………………………”
"Okay, I see you haven't been in good shape these days, so go home and rest. Go have dinner first, and I'll take you there myself after dinner."
Tang Hao looked condescending. Jiang Qiao knew that if he refused again, Tang Hao would be defeated, so he had to agree. However, he refused to have dinner, saying, "There are paparazzi."
For a celebrity of her level, paparazzi and illegitimate fans are inevitable. If she is photographed having dinner with Tang Hao tonight, she will be on the hot search headlines tomorrow morning.
Tang Hao was the boss of an entertainment company. He knew that what Jiang Qiao said made sense, but he was still unhappy. He muttered quietly, "Just take the photo if you can..."
He wished the paparazzi would take pictures of him having dinner with Jiang Qiao.
"What?" Jiang Qiao didn't hear clearly and asked in confusion.
Tang Hao stopped talking again.
The car drove into Shengyuan. Jiang Qiao got out of the car and knocked on the window. The window rolled down, revealing the stinky face of the man in the driver's seat.
Jiang Qiao pretended not to see it and thanked him: "Thank you, Boss Tang. I'll go up first then?"
The man remained silent.
The late summer night was a bit chilly. Jiang Qiao touched his fair and slender arm and was about to leave when he heard the car door behind him open. Then, a coat was thrown roughly over his head.
Jiang Qiao: “???”
After finally pulling off her coat, Tang Hao had already started the car and drove away, leaving her with only a trail of exhaust fumes.
Jiang Qiao: “…………………………”
This person is like a psychopath.
Jiang Qiao shook her head. She did not put on her coat, but put it on her arm, preparing to return it to Tang Hao next time.
*
In front of the French window on the top floor, a tall and straight man stood quietly, taking in all of this. His eyes were fixed on the men's coat in the girl's arms, and a barely perceptible coldness flashed across his eyes.
He turned up the volume of his hearing aid to the maximum and seemed to hear the sound of the elevator going up. Lu Xun turned around and walked out the door, ignoring the key on the cabinet at the entrance.
It only takes a dozen seconds to get to the elevator, which opens with a "ding dong" sound.
Thank you for the reward of Spark~
