Pei Hanzhou, who was not used to having someone around him, had only slept for an hour. He was still not fully sober and looked at the wardrobe with a frown.
This woman stamped him with ice cream yesterday and occupied his bathtub, and today when she left she even took away one of his white shirts. She's really amazing.
There was no time to think about it, as there was a video conference in two minutes. The man opened his computer and listened to the long speech from the other side while flipping through the documents. It was obviously a report with a lot of information, and he would never be distracted at ordinary times. But at this moment, for no reason, he recalled the fragments of last night and her voice in a lingering and intermittent way.
Seeing that he was still sitting upright with his usual indifferent expression, everyone couldn't help but sigh that the boss was indeed an emotionless money-making machine. Until the last person finished speaking and it was the boss's turn to give advice, the man on the screen was still staring thoughtfully at a certain part of the document.
They must have made a huge mistake that upset the boss, and everyone was anxiously waiting for a reprimand, not daring to breathe.
An unknown amount of time had passed before the sound of Lin Luosang's door closing in his memory seemed to end. Pei Hanzhou came back to his senses and realized that he had been left there for a long time.
When he opened his lips, everyone held their breath, their hearts almost stopping.
The man stamped the document. "That's all for today. We'll continue next time."
Everyone who is so nervous that they are about to vomit: ...? ?
After saying this, Pei Hanzhou turned off the computer, but the memories did not stop pouring out as if they could not be stopped.
——It’s crazy.
He opened the window, and the sea breeze instantly filled the room, as if blowing away his noisy thoughts.
The two of them had their own concerns, and Lin Luosang was not much better off.
In the car rushing to the performance venue, she kept a calm expression, but had already typed at least 100,000 exclamation marks in the dialog box.
Her close friend in the circle, Sheng Qianye, became the person she confided in this time.
After hearing the whole story, Sheng Qianye comforted her: "Think positively."
Lin Luosang: [? ]
Sheng Qianye directly gave her a video call: "Don't look so melancholy as if you are going to die heroically. Let me ask you, who is more valuable between the two of you?"
"he."
"Who was tired last night, you or him?"
Lin Luosang was stunned for a few seconds: "...Him?"
"Of course it's him. It's the same reason why 1-0 is so hard to find!" Sheng Qianye asked a third question, "Are you happy?"
Lin Luosang: “…”
"Are you taking my statement?"
"Okay, let's put aside the experience for now. Just say you had a one-night stand with Pei Hanzhou. If you put it up on an auction site and priced it at one million, there would be a wealthy woman who would buy it. Do you believe it? So it's like you've made a million. What's so unhappy about making money?" Sheng Qianye said slowly, "You should look forward and don't dwell on what has already happened. Honey, think more positively."
She choked up for a long time, unable to find the words to refute: "You are really good at talking, why don't I help you sign up for QiPaShuo."
"Then I might be more suitable for the Tucao Conference." Sheng Qianye paused, then realized that her voice was not right. "Why is your voice so hoarse?"
She said angrily: "You are mute even if you call me."
Sheng Qianye was tense for three seconds, then burst into laughter.
Lin Luosang hung up the phone.
Although Sheng Qianye said a lot of incomprehensible things, there was actually something right about it. Things had already passed, and there was no benefit in dwelling on them too much. She had not suffered any substantial harm.
It’s better to cut the loss in time, put the matter behind you, and live your life as if nothing happened.
She closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths, deciding to forget about it and throw herself into the rehearsal of the show.
Today, the small and obscure group she is in is about to disband. Although it has dragged her down for a long time, she has a good relationship with member Zheng Yan and is somewhat reluctant to let them go.
There was no farewell concert when they disbanded. They just had a farewell performance at a ceremony on a small satellite TV station. They didn't even have a press conference. They were a group with great fanfare when they formed, but fell into obscurity and their disbandment was extremely casual.
Recalling that the program named them "Fei Yan", hoping that they could soar into the sky like fireworks. She didn't know whether they actually flew into the sky, but she only knew that in the end they flopped and turned to ashes.
Two young faces in the mirror, almost identical long straight hair with bangs. The pure image the company gave them was too common, failing to create any uniqueness for the members or the group. Ninety-nine out of a hundred female artists on the market have pure personas, and making it big is a matter of luck.
But it’s no use being upset now, we’re going to break up anyway.
After the rehearsal, Zheng Yan lamented, "Ah, actually, I've been holding you back for the past three years. You're such a great singer and dancer, but because I can't keep up, you haven't had a stage tailored just for you, and your talents and strengths haven't been fully utilized."
"Teamwork is supposed to work together, so stop talking nonsense," Lin Luosang tapped Zheng Yan's head. "But, what are your plans going forward?"
"I don't know. It feels like I don't know anything. What about you? Are you going to continue singing?"
The first time Zheng Yan saw her perform, she felt that Lin Luosang was born to be on the stage. Her every frown and smile exuded irresistible radiance and confidence.
Lin Luosang thought for a while and said, "It should continue."
She has written many songs that we all like, but she hasn't had the chance to let everyone hear them.
Lin Luosang, who changed into her performance clothes, looked no different from her teammates. She pulled her skirt guiltily.
I don't know if Pei Hanzhou is a thoughtful man, but he was smart enough to plant all the strawberries where they wouldn't be seen - except for accidentally leaving one behind her neck, the rest of the service was perfect.
There were just some marks under the hem of her skirt and dress, and she was shocked when she looked in the mirror when she changed her clothes.
She covered the back of her neck with concealer and let her hair down before officially entering.
There was nothing much to say about the group song they were to perform. The lyrics were simple, the melody was average, and the dance wasn't exciting enough. Fortunately, the two of them saved the day with their looks and coordination, but the audience still felt it was bland and a pity to give it up, and in the end, they just clapped a few times.
The elevator gradually descended, taking with it her mediocrity of the past few years and disappearing from everyone's sight.
At this point, the group was officially disbanded.
Their agents began to busy themselves with changing their Weibo authentications, as if they had been bound by the group for too long and it would be unlucky to have the label of "Fei Yan member" attached to them for any longer.
Group performances aren't as simple as a solo; members need to adapt to each other's styles and avoid being too prominent. Everything must serve the group. Both she and Jung Yeon have distinct personalities, and this approach would obscure their shining points. Furthermore, the company's poor management led to this outcome.
As Lin Luosang was about to post on Weibo, he heard Yue Hui say to him, "Oh, by the way, we've been contacted by 'Audio-Visual Feast'. It's a program for original singers, with top-notch choreography, orchestra, and sound. What do you think?"
"Of course I think it's good," Lin Luosang paused, "but I heard that the spots for such a great show have already been taken up by the partner companies. Why would they invite me?"
She is not famous now, and the small company does not have such resources - why is it her turn?
"Maybe you're hoping to promote a hidden gem? Look at that show next door. Although they have a lot of big names, they also have a lesser-known talented singer every season. On 'Audio-Visual Feast,' both stage presence and creative talent are essential. You have both good looks and a great voice, so who else could be the best candidate?"
Yue Hui continued, "They must have noticed your potential and talent. Take it."
She thought for a moment and said, "Well, you decide."
During the backstage chat, someone mentioned Pei Hanzhou. The moment Lin Luosang heard these three words, his legs subconsciously went weak.
After Yue Hui finished sharing his usual story about "Pei Hanzhou isn't interested in women," she finally couldn't help but retort, "Forget it."
Although she didn't remember much else clearly, she still vaguely remembered the five o'clock mark in the morning when she stopped. That time was engraved in her mind like a big-character poster.
Working until five in the morning, what does that mean?
The person involved, Lin Luosang, regrets it very much.
Yue Hui: "What's wrong?"
What happened? If Yue Hui hadn't let her know, would she have been able to run to the other person's room? She managed to dodge Wang Meng, but she almost lost her life.
She even wondered if the man hadn't had sex in over twenty years. Did he think they'd never see each other again, so he was just trying to make her want him to die? Are all capitalists so keen on exploitation?
If she could bear it, she would have thought that this man could stay up all night to achieve the greatest harmony in life.
Sheng Qianye still said that she didn't lose out?
Loss, loss of all money.
She shook her head, unwilling to think about the humiliation of yesterday, and after posting the disbandment Weibo, she rushed to her next schedule.
Today, a beauty brand launched in City R and invited her to attend an event.
Now that she has gone solo, she can now package herself according to her strengths.
Yue Hui and the makeup artist are discussing how to design the first look after leaving the group.
She is not a flat figure, her waist is slender and soft, her curves are graceful, and her eyes are naturally watery. They are not fox eyes but have a bit of cunning. There is a little natural sexiness in her purity, and her personal style is bright and strong.
An hour later, a figure appeared in front of the brand display board.
The audience's eyes lit up, and they excitedly poked Yue Hui: "Who is that, your newly signed artist? As expected of Brother Hui, you have a really good eye..."
Before anyone could finish, Yue Hui answered, "Lin Luosang."
"Lin Luosang? Where is she?" After a few seconds, the man reacted, "Is that Lin Luosang on the stage? How is that possible? I've seen her before, okay?"
He squinted his eyes and looked carefully for a long time: "Oh, yes, yes, the group changed its route after disbanding, right? Her face is so good?!"
The person in the camera is wearing a nude pink floor-length dress, her long legs are crossed, and her curly hair is casually draped over her shoulders. The velvet lipstick makes her makeup look even more high-end, and the just-right eyeliner outlines a bit of beauty that is hard to describe.
A breathtaking beauty.
After the brand event ended, Yue Hui and the brand released some promotional photos together. It was just a warm-up, but she was so eye-catching that the comment section instantly became lively.
[She is beautiful, but who is she? ]
The singer who sang "Distant Branches" was quite talented in writing lyrics, composing music, and arranging music. I thought he would be a huge hit when he debuted, but who knew he would become a washed-up singer.
[So it's her, but I've seen photos of the group before and thought they were both very ordinary. How did she suddenly become so beautiful? Did she have plastic surgery?]
[No, there are problems with the company's promotion and positioning. The route they took to match the group was not suitable for her at all. But now she seems to be going solo. I'm waiting for her further development. I still like listening to her singing.]
Of course, there are also pure licking:
[She has such a great temperament, not at all an assembly line beauty, pure, ethereal and charming, the fairy sister's face is killing me! ]
How come I only just saw this beautiful face that benefits humanity? I order all agencies to apologize to me.
My hair and makeup are finally on point today. This face is the epitome of a Hong Kong-style beauty.
After reading through the comments, Lin Luosang seemed to only be able to see four words - has-been singer.
So true.
More real than Pei Hanzhou last night.
It's just that everyone has to be responsible for their own choices. It was her tacit agreement that the top two in the show would form a group, and she has tried her best to fight for it in the past few years. It is meaningless to blame anyone. Good and bad are interdependent. The only thing to be thankful for is that during the past two or three years of "being in the dark", she had time to settle down and learn the things she likes.
Unexpectedly, the feedback on her new look was very good, and Yue Hui quickly arranged many commercial activities for her, determined to let her beauty capture the public's attention.
Two weeks later, after the event, she was taking off her necklace. Halfway through, she felt something was wrong and her stomach was churning. She threw down the necklace and ran to the bathroom, holding onto the toilet and retching a few times.
She thought it was just the lingering paint smell from the newly built shopping mall that caused the rejection reaction, so she didn't take it seriously and scooped up some water to wash her face.
Yue Hui also thought that she was just too tired, so he gave her a few days off and let her create well for "Audio-Visual Feast".
Until the frequency of dry heaving increased and her appetite decreased, that day she opened the notebook and was about to write the lyrics. The moment she took off the pen cap, a terrible idea flashed through her mind.
She sat on the sofa for a while, trying to recall whether Pei Hanzhou had taken any safety measures, but who would remember to confirm these things after being drunk?
I opened the recording app and found that my period hasn’t come yet this month.
Her throat choked, so she put on a mask and a hat, and took a ride to a distant place to buy a pregnancy test stick.
It was her first time encountering this situation, and her hands were shaking. She accidentally dropped the pregnancy test stick after the test. She turned around and looked for it for a while before she found it in the trash can. The red line clearly showed -
Two bars.
The author has something to say: Pei Hanzhou: Am I awesome? (No)
