Chapter 157: The Top Female Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Circle (13) (2 in 1) (End)
After taking over the Qi family at the age of 18 and officially becoming the head of the Qi family, Qi Jing had not attended such a banquet for a long time.
As we all know, when a person's power is strong enough, he can actually completely ignore all the human relationships in this world.
As Qi Jing, who defeated all his uncles and took the position of the head of the Qi family after he became an adult, his status in Kyoto is already high enough and he does not need to attend unnecessary banquets to maintain relationships.
I attended the dinner party hosted by Mr. Xi family purely out of personal respect.
The old man of the Xi family and Qi Jing's grandfather were comrades-in-arms when they were young, and the two families have always had a friendship. The old man is also a respected elder of Qi Jing. He had just got off the plane at that time, so he asked the driver to turn to the Xi family.
The old man was old and had gone back to his room to rest early, so Qi Jing did not see the old man, so he could only go to see the head of the Xi family.
Qi Jing was not familiar with the head of the Xi family's generation, so he just wanted to give the birthday gift and leave immediately.
Although the Xi family was in decline, the old man's connections were still there. The dinner was attended by many guests, who chatted and laughed happily.
But a strange phenomenon caught Qi Jing's attention.
If you observe carefully, you can easily find that almost all the young guests in the venue are looking in one direction.
That direction... is the main entrance of the banquet hall?
He raised his eyebrows and looked in that direction with interest.
At that time, he was surrounded by people who came forward to talk to him, even the head of the host family was beside him. The man in his forties had a respectful look on his face. He was only twenty-five years old. The tall and handsome head of the Qi family stood out among a group of older CEOs.
His eyes were dull, carrying a hint of the weariness and indifference that comes from being satisfied with power...
The girl, who had changed into a red dress, entered from the main entrance and followed her agent closely, like a newborn animal timidly following its protector.
The dress was clearly a bright and enchanting color, but when worn by the girl, it only made her skin look whiter, without a trace of vulgarity.
Many people say that the so-called love at first sight is just a word used to beautify lust at first sight.
Qi Jing didn't know whether he fell in love at first sight or was just attracted by her beauty. He only knew that he was stunned on the spot.
He could no longer hear what the people around him were saying. The magnificent banquet hall, the waiters coming and going, and the guests chatting and laughing in the banquet hall all turned into shadows at this moment.
The only person he paid attention to was the red figure who was walking into the banquet hall step by step with his agent's hand.
As the head of the Qi family, he has always been rational. After a brief loss of composure, he quickly came to his senses.
The people around naturally noticed the loss of composure of the head of the Qi family. They just followed his gaze and could only see the girl's figure but could not see her specific face clearly.
But it doesn’t matter. For those who are blinded by greed, anything can become a tool for them to climb up.
A middle-aged man in a suit and tie had a flattering smile on his face and tried hard to squeeze to the front among the crowd. He had a request to make to the Qi family, but he had always acted rashly because he did not know the preferences of the head of the Qi family.
Finally, seeing someone had caught his attention, he naturally wanted to show his courtesy. He came forward and forced a smile, revealing his teeth, slightly browned from excessive smoking and drinking.
"Mr. Qi, are you interested in that female artist? Mr. Qi, I run an entertainment company. If you need me, I can introduce that lady to you..."
The talk of introducing someone to someone else is, to put it bluntly, just some pimping talk.
Perhaps in order not to be disrespectful in front of others, the man did not say it too bluntly, but the emotions in his eyes revealed all the filth.
This man had just been squeezed to the outermost edge. It was obviously his first time meeting a figure like the head of the Qi family, and he was not clear about the other person's temperament.
He didn't notice that when he finished speaking, the people around him suddenly fell silent, and then silently took a few steps away from him...
Who is this pig-head?
If you want to get yourself killed, don't get involved with them.
Everyone knows that the head of the Qi family is not interested in women. In the past two years, he was even a madman who would bankrupt anyone who gave him a woman...
The man didn't notice the change in atmosphere. Seeing that a few people beside Qi Jing had dispersed, he hurriedly came over again and said, "These little stars are easy to handle. If Mr. Qi likes them, I have a few good-looking ones in my company. I will give them to Mr. Qi when the time comes..."
"Did you mean to give me that female artist just now?"
Seeing Qi Jing's reaction, the man's eyes flashed with joy, and he nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, if Mr. Qi likes it, I can send the person to you tonight..."
He's just a small artist. Just take some photos and give him some medicine, and it'll be easy to catch him.
deliver.
The word comparing the girl to a commodity rolled on the tip of his tongue, and the stunning glimpse just now was still in his mind.
Qi Jing narrowed his eyes slightly under his glasses, as if smiling, but the coldness on his face became heavier, and the gloom in his eyes grew thicker and thicker. The look he gave the man was as cold and terrifying as if he was looking at a dead person.
The thick and gloomy anger on him seemed to be tangible at this moment, pressing everyone down so that they could not stand up. The people around him pursed their lips tightly and stopped talking.
This noisy corner soon became quiet.
The man was a businessman after all. Even if he was emotionally distracted and not paying attention to the atmosphere, he quickly noticed something was wrong when there was no sound around him.
The plump white face turned pale in an instant, and he raised his head tremblingly. As soon as he raised his head, he was immediately frightened by the cold look of the head of the Qi family whom he wanted to please.
"No...Mr. Qi...I was wrong..."
The man didn't know what he said wrong, but under such a horrifying gaze, he could only deny it repeatedly.
But no matter how he apologized or denied, the head of the Qi family in front of him still looked at him as if he were a dead person, which made the man completely panic.
Everyone knew what would happen if they offended the Qi family in Kyoto. He was not a clean person to begin with, and if he really angered the head of the Qi family, he would probably be completely finished in Kyoto.
The head of the Xi family looked at the scene and his face turned pale. Now the status of the Qi and Xi families is different from before. The Qi family is in a high position, and the Xi family is the host. Qi Jing came to attend the old man's birthday banquet in person, which was a face for the Xi family.
If the head of the Qi family gets angry at the Xi family, it will also be the Xi family's responsibility, and it will not look good if it gets out.
The head of the Xi family had no impression of the man who was almost paralyzed on the ground with fear. He thought that he was probably from a small company who bought the invitation through some unknown channel and got in.
What bad luck!
Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, the head of the Xi family looked at the middle-aged man lying limp on the ground with disgust, and winked at his son who was obviously distracted behind him.
The other person came back to his senses with a start, and after seeing the scene clearly, he cleverly asked the security guard at the door to come in and drag the miserable-looking man out.
"A Jing, have you had dinner after getting off the plane? I asked the chef to make some food. It's just right for you to enjoy it. Don't get angry over irrelevant people..."
"No need for dinner, Uncle Xi." Qi Jing glanced at the man who was dragged out like a dog, a hint of cruelty in his eyes. "I'm here to wish Grandpa Xi a happy 75th birthday. The gift has been sent. Please pass it on to Uncle Xi for me."
As he spoke, the assistant behind him quickly presented the wrapped gift.
Putting down the wine in his hand, Qi Jing smiled and said, "Uncle Xi, I am very familiar with the Xi family. You don't have to entertain me. Go entertain other guests."
His words made the head of the Xi family feel relieved. He also knew that Qi Jing didn't want others to disturb him, so he called away the other people who were around him when he left.
Having just witnessed Qi Jing's anger, the others did not dare to stay any longer. At this time, the head of the Xi family spoke and everyone walked away.
"Master..." The assistant behind him stepped forward.
"Investigate that person just now."
"Yes." The assistant nodded in agreement.
This corner became completely quiet. Qi Jing did not leave immediately. He stood there, looking at the place where the girl had just passed by, with an unpredictable look on his face.
The girl was no longer visible at the main entrance. Qi Jing was slightly distracted, but his rationality was ultimately overwhelmed by his inner desire, so he walked towards the direction the girl had disappeared...
"I'm also very glad that I snatched you from him." Qi Jing said calmly, "He was your agent, but at that time he didn't have enough ability to protect you."
Yu Xiu's abilities and connections are mostly limited to his circle. Maybe he can protect Nan very well in the entertainment circle, but there are many jackals outside the circle, and he cannot reach them.
Nan Qiao disagreed, "He has done very well..."
"How good is very good?" Qi Jing gestured for the girl to drink the soup. "Is very good enough to protect you?"
Nan Qiao took a sip of soup and muttered unconvincedly, "Not everyone is like you..."
"Well, not everyone is as mean-spirited as me, doesn't play with power, and doesn't force others to do things the same way."
Having a despicable character, abusing power, and forcing others to do things against their will?
Why do these words sound so familiar?
Nan Qiao looked up, only to see the man in front of her with a slight smile on his lips. "Isn't this what Qiao Qiao used to scold me over and over again? Have you forgotten?"
Long-lost memories resurfaced, and Nan Qiao spoke confidently, "Who told you to be so overbearing back then? Not only did you not let me work, you also forced me to terminate my contract?"
"Were you still able to work in that physical condition?"
Nan Qiao was dealt a heavy blow by the death of his mother, who he depended on for everything. Add to that the pervasive media and stalking fans, and his already frail body became even weaker.
She had lost almost all her weight and was in an extremely negative and depressed mood. In such a state, how could Qi Jing let her go out to work without worry?
Nan Qiao was speechless.
She lowered her eyes and stirred the soup in the bowl with a look of grievance. "Then you can't be so overbearing. I listened to you and took a good rest. I just wanted to say goodbye to my fans."
She was blacklisted by her company, her Weibo password was completely changed, and she completely withdrew from the entertainment industry after issuing a statement. It is conceivable how sad those fans who had been eagerly waiting for her must be.
"I know, it's really my fault. I'm sorry."
Qi Jing did not avoid denying this.
He was indeed very arbitrary and domineering three years ago, but he was really angry at that time.
Yu Xiu is her trusted agent, and the fans are a group whose emotions she needs to take care of. It seems that both of them hold a high status in her mind.
In front of these two people, he always seems to be the one who is excluded and despised, and it seems that no matter what he does, he cannot please her.
The sight of the pale girl lying on the hospital bed pierced his heart and completely broke the last string in his heart.
So during the time when Nan Qiao was in a coma, he did a lot of things.
This included terminating Nan Qiao's contract with the agency and paying a hefty penalty; posting a Weibo announcement about his retirement and completely changing his Weibo password; and taking advantage of Yu Xiu's laxity to transfer the unconscious girl to another location...
This series of actions could not be described as aboveboard, and was almost entirely motivated by his own selfish motives. So even when the girl, having regained consciousness, questioned him, he did not refute her.
Nan Qiao suddenly didn't know what to say. She was not a stubborn person and was particularly susceptible to soft words. She just lowered her eyes and ate silently.
After that, Qi Jing stopped talking and they both had dinner quietly.
After dinner, Nan Qiao did not curl up on the sofa to read the script as usual. Instead, she sat on the sofa blankly, occasionally looking up at the man who was processing the documents, and then she was dazed again.
Qi Jing couldn't handle his work anymore, so he closed his computer, stood up, walked a few steps to the sofa and sat down, then reached out and hugged the girl who was sitting cross-legged in his arms.
"What are you thinking about? Huh?"
"Nothing."
Qi Jing lowered his eyes and glanced at the girl in his arms. Seeing that her face was rosy and she did not look uncomfortable, he felt relieved.
The body in his arms was as soft as a handful of cotton. Qi Jing's brows, which were a little tired from work, gradually relaxed. He also had something hidden in his heart, but he didn't know how to tell the little girl in his arms.
Nan Qiao is like both a fox and a snail. Sometimes he is as smart and bold as a little fox, and sometimes he is like a snail that will retract its head if you touch it.
After pondering it over in his mind, he asked in a deep voice, "Qiao Qiao, you admitted it in front of them this afternoon..."
For a long time, Qi Jing had always shamelessly called himself Nan Qiao's boyfriend and fiancé in front of others. This was a one-man show that Nan Qiao had never admitted to, and it was performed by him alone.
But today, in front of Mu Cheng and others, Qiao Qiao admitted it.
Even a slight nod was enough to prove that she admitted it.
No one knew what Qi Jing was thinking in the ten seconds after Nan Qiao nodded. His rapid heartbeat and the emotions rushing through his mind were all hidden under his calm appearance.
The high and mighty head of the Qi family was now as anxious and worried as a young boy whose heart had just begun to open. Even though he had just tried hard to bury himself in his work, the scene of Nan Qiao nodding his head at noon would appear in his mind.
Yu Xiu didn't protect the person well. Now that she was in his arms, he had no intention of letting go. He had already prepared himself to be hated by his lover for the rest of his life...
But who would be willing to be treated coldly when there is a chance for mutual love?
At noon, the girl nodded slightly, like a ray of light violently torn apart in the dark sky, giving the man in the darkness a glimmer of hope.
He wanted to ask, but didn't dare to.
I just felt hopeful, but I was also worried that I would be plunged into despair the next moment...
Nan Qiao paused, then looked up at the man with a calm aura but a flicker of anxiety in his eyes. "Did I do something wrong at noon? Are you going to let me leave?"
"No." The man said in a deep voice.
"That's it."
Since she won't be allowed to leave, does her attitude towards him matter to him?
Qi Jing understood Nan Qiao's meaning, but he didn't feel disappointed as expected. Instead, the anxiety in his heart gradually subsided. He smiled softly and said, "Yes, this is good enough."
At least she was happy to be by his side.
This is indeed very good.
As for her feelings, he still has plenty of time to prepare for the rest of his life.
Nan Qiao played the role of Bai Yueguang in Director Wu's movie. Her role was not important. After the third month of filming, her role was completely completed.
This time she did not inform her fans in advance about joining the crew, so her fans did not know that Qiao Bao had joined the crew, and they just kept asking for information on the studio's Weibo.
It was not until two months after filming began that the media captured news that Nan Qiao had joined the crew. For a time, Director Wu's film became popular before it was even released, and Nan Qiao's name was directly sent to the top of the hot searches by many fans.
"So, I can see my baby on the big screen, right?"
"It's a big costume movie! Oh my god, I'm already looking forward to it!"
"When the entire movie screen is filled with my baby's stunningly beautiful, peerless, and incomparable face from every angle, ahhhhhhh, just thinking about it makes me excited!"
"The studio is keeping this a secret. They only broke the news two months after we started filming..."
"It has to be kept secret. If it's exposed too early, there will definitely be a lot of illegitimate children on the set..."
"Is not a fan, please know this."
"Hey, Song Qingyan is also in this drama, do you think..."
"Stop, stop, stop, it's over. This is Qiao Bao's trending search, no mention of anyone else."
"Please keep your eyes on Qiao Bao, everyone!"
"Please don't let other artists' names appear in Qiao Bao's trending searches."
Qiao fans have a particularly strong sense of territory and are very disgusted when netizens mention other people's names in the hot searches related to Nan Qiao.
But this is just a small episode.
The joy after knowing that Qiao Bao joined the group was not dampened by this little episode. They traveled around the world with their conspicuous ID.
They immediately went to Director Wu's Weibo and asked him to take good care of their baby. The huge number of Qiao fans caused a huge increase in the number of likes and comments on Director Wu's official Weibo post announcing the movie, and even directly squeezed out the Cheng fans in the front row.
Sometimes they would go to the official Weibo account to comment and repost, and from time to time they would attach various beautiful pictures that could make people look trance-like. The huge fan circle was full of vitality.
The day Nan Qiao finished filming was not as unknown as the day he joined the crew.
Because fans on Weibo already knew about it, and there was no question of keeping the role secret, Director Wu wanted to strike while the iron was hot to increase the promotion of the new movie. On the day of wrap, he had someone post a photo of Nan Qiao finishing the filming on Weibo.
It's already a bit cold in December.
In the photo, the girl is still dressed in ancient costume with pearl hairpins and jade rings, wearing a light gauze costume, a thick green down jacket draped behind her, and holding a bouquet of flowers in her hands.
She has fair skin, a slightly rosy cheek, eyes as bright as stars, and a big smile on the corners of her lips as she looks at the camera intently...
Just one glance can make people's heart beat faster.
Who wouldn’t feel dizzy after seeing this, who wouldn’t fall in love after seeing this, who could refuse a girl like this!
They can't anyway!
This tiny picture sent eagerly awaited Joe fans into a frenzy. It went viral across major platforms, garnering nearly 500 million views within an hour. Even the world's most popular social media platforms were buzzing with it...
This is the goddess of beauty adored by countless people in the East. Even those who harbor prejudices against Eastern faces cannot help but be captivated by this piercing beauty...
The author has something to say:
There are still 4,000 words left. I said before that I would make up for the past few days. I have to type 11,000 words today. I am so exhausted.
This world ends here, and there will be two extra chapters next.
This book is finished after updating two extra chapters, and I don’t plan to write any more (mainly because I’ve been really busy recently, with internships and thesis all happening at the same time, so I can’t keep updating normally, and I’m also stuck in writer’s block, I’m really sorry).
The article will be published next.
[When the Charm of All People Becomes a Tomb-Sweet Person (Quick Travel)], those who are interested can pay attention to it.
Introduction: "Qiqi Little Cannon Fodder Class has begun! Everyone, listen carefully!"
"The little transparent ones are all unknown..."
"Most of them are introverts. They have a low sense of presence in groups, are extremely inconspicuous, and are easily ignored..."
"Even if I have a crush on someone, I keep it a secret and don't dare to express it openly..."
"They are generally not easily bullied, and can even be said to be completely ignored..."
Tapping the blackboard, 007's eyes were filled with excitement. "Huihui, you will play a role like this in the future! How about it? It's easy, isn't it?"
Minghui sat upright and nodded seriously.
Well, it’s really simple!
The first step of the little transparent person is to hand over a love letter, and the target is rejected. Get it!
007 trembled (frustrated and roared), "Huihui, what's going on? Why are they surrounding me one by one!!!"
Minghui's face was confused, she didn't know either.
The second step for the little transparent person is to become a supporting role for her boyfriend’s white moonlight, with the goal of breaking up with him. Get it!
007 bit his handkerchief (wanting to cry but unable to), "Huihui, run, run, they're chasing us again. Damn it, they forgot that the host of this world has no memories..."
Mine clearance, brainless Mary Sue heartthrob series! Slight female competition, male competition!
