Yao Yuan followed the girl through many twists and turns, passing through dim street lights and high-rise buildings, and finally came across a bungalow area.
The bungalow area is embedded in the cracks of high-rise buildings. It rises from the ground all around and is brightly lit. However, there is a sunken area here, which is dark and seems to be an abandoned corner.
In a large courtyard, a brick building, I walked to the door of a room. Before I could go in, a man and a woman came out. It looked like they had just finished their work.
The girl greeted the woman several times and signaled Yao Yuan to come in.
It was an extremely small space, with only one bed, one table, and no chairs. There was a wire hanging from the ceiling, and the light bulb emitted dim light.
"..."
Yao Yuan smelled a residual smell, looked at the bed again, felt it was dirty, and asked: "Do you two rent together?"
"Yeah, shared apartment."
The girl locked the door, turned around, paused, and said in a low voice: "You have to pay me first."
"oh."
Yao Yuan took out 50 yuan, stretched out his hand, then retracted it, and said: "Take off your makeup and chat for a few words, this 50 yuan is yours."
"Aren't you going to do it?" The girl was stunned.
"Let's talk first."
"..."
The girl felt weird and hesitant, so when the other party handed her the money, she finally got a basin of water and washed her face.
Yao Yuan looked at it again. His appearance was not bad. His skin was delicate and his facial features were young. He was about 20 years old. His eyes were a bit small and his eyebrow shape was not very good-looking.
He didn't expect to find a very beautiful one, so he asked: "What time do you want to stay overnight?"
"Usually starts at 11 o'clock."
"available everyday?"
"..."
The girl didn't respond.
"What do you do during the day?"
"sleep."
"That's it. I want to ask you to take a set of photos. The photos will be taken during the day and outdoors. It can be completed in about one day. The labor fee is 200. If it exceeds the time, I will pay more."
"..."
The girl became more suspicious, and her suspicion turned to vigilance, and her vigilance turned to uneasiness. It was an uneasiness caused by a sense of unknown beyond her imagination.
She stared at the other person for a while, then suddenly stuffed the 50 yuan back: "I don't know what you do. I won't do your business anymore, and I don't want the money. You can leave."
Seeing that the other party didn't move, he even became a little anxious: "I'm telling you, I can call someone to come, you hurry up and leave!"
"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous!"
Yao Yuan waved his hand and said in a soft tone: "I don't ask for your name or your contact information. We have no relationship. I just want to hire you to take a group of photos.
No need to show anything, just normal and natural life photos. If you are worried, you can bring a friend, 200 for one day and 400 for two days, which will not delay your business.
Of course, the right to use the photos belongs to me.”
He pushed another 50 yuan over, tore up a piece of paper and wrote his phone number: "Think about it."
After saying that, Yao Yuan opened the door and went out.
I felt guilty when I went out. I didn't have the confidence I had just now. I sneaked out of the yard and came to the street and breathed a sigh of relief: Mom, I don't want to act in an anti-pornography scene!
It seems it's a bit late, so I have to go back to school first and continue collecting materials tomorrow.
In the next two days, Yao Yuan kept collecting stories and met several young girls.
The public relations fee cost 150 yuan!
On the third day, he finally received a call. His voice was a little hoarse: "Hello? Hello, are you the one taking photos?"
"Yes, which one are you?"
"Liangma River."
"Oh, have you thought about it?"
"Well, when will the photo be taken?"
"It's okay tomorrow, from morning to night, starting at five o'clock. You bring a makeup bag, provide food but don't rent a car. After the photo is taken and the payment is made, you make an appointment to meet at a location."
The amount of information contained in one sentence made the girl a little stuck. Finally, she said: "Then it will be at the entrance of Lufthansa, okay?"
"Okay. By the way, tell me a name."
"What?"
"Tell me a name I can call you."
"Rong Rong."
"Okay, you can call me Teacher Chen."
…………
In 1992, the first Sino-foreign joint venture shopping mall was opened north of Liangma River: Yansha Friendship Mall.
It formed a high-end business district with five-star hotels such as Kempinski, Kunlun, and Great Wall. At that time, the wealthy people in the capital were basically financiers, either domestically or abroad. There were foreigners coming and going, and there was no business.
civil.
There is no other way, but some compradors must be allowed to get rich first.
All in all, Yansha has always been a high-end shopping mall, and everyone in the city knows it.
The next day, five o'clock.
Autumn mornings are not as bright as summer, with a glimmer of light, blue and gray.
Yao Yuan had been waiting at the entrance of the shopping mall early in the morning, walking back and forth. From time to time he would meet a few people who were walking in the morning or working the night shift. He was so stupid that he came over and asked if they had any orders?
wipe!
If so, Yao Yuan would really sell it to him.
A little after five o'clock, I saw a girl hesitantly walking over. She had a ponytail, no makeup, and a fair face, looking tired and anxious.
"Rong Rong?"
"Teacher Chen!"
"Hey, you didn't bring any friends?"
"..."
She shook her head, and Yao Yuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, I can't do anything to you on a sunny day. You're already here, so just take pictures peacefully."
Let’s take a few photos under the rising sun first, and then have breakfast. By the way, have you brought your makeup?”
"Bring it!"
Rongrong showed him her little bag.
"Then do it first, your level is terrible, just follow my instructions."
Although Yao Yuan doesn't know how to get started, he has seen a lot. He even slept with several of the big brothers on the list. He pointed and said:
"Your eyebrows are a little short. You need to lengthen them and make them lighter. You looked like Crayon Shin-chan that day. Then bend them a little, bend them a little. Does Willow Yemei know?"
"If you want to make your little eyes bigger, eyeliner is the most important thing. Walk along the inside, stretch the tail outward, lift it up, that's right!"
Rongrong was confused and obedient. After several attempts, she finally got her makeup done.
Yao Yuan looked at her clothes again, they were ordinary and natural, and said: "Let's go to the river to take pictures."
The Liangma River has a low presence in the capital. It has never been cared for. It is overgrown with duckweeds and weeds and has a stinking smell. It was only in the past few years that management began. The mud and weeds were cleared on both sides and some stone bricks were paved.
There is also a small cruise ship parked in the river, which is a bar on the ship and will be open until around the 2008 Olympic Games.
As a media person, Yao Yuan has very good photography skills. He directed: "You walk along the river first, with your hands behind your back and your head lowered. I will take a few pictures first."
He clicked a few pictures, but it felt something wasn't right, so he thought for a moment and said, "Roll up your trouser legs."
"What?"
"Curl it up to your knees and let your hair down."
Rongrong was at a loss as to what to do. This was a completely new job for her. She followed her words and continued to walk by the river stupidly, walking over, walking over, walking over, walking over.
The requirements were never met.
"Smile!"
"Don't you know how to laugh?"
"I tell you not to frown, but to smile towards the rising sun. Look at the bright sunshine and the beautiful world, and your mood will naturally be relaxed and cheerful!"
Yao Yuan entered work mode, which was very scary.
"me……"
"What are you doing? How long has it been? The morning sun turns to sunset!"
"I can't laugh."
Rongrong lowered her head.
"..."
Yao Yuan paused, remained silent for a while, and then started shouting again:
"Then you think, it will rain for a while, and I haven't done anything today. I will give you 200 yuan for free. It will snow tomorrow, hail next day, and then Elder Sun will come down... you
I earned a lot of money, treated your parents, your grandparents, and sent your brother to school and yourself to school. Your family built three large tile-roofed houses. Everyone in the village envied you, and there was a queue of young men chasing you.
Once you reach Shili and Baxiang, you will live a good life from now on..."
"..."
Rongrong was stunned at first, and then she had a weird expression. She wanted to cry and laugh at the same time. She held it in for a few seconds, and finally burst into laughter.
Yao Yuan hurriedly took the picture, click click click, the picture was frozen frame by frame. He didn't know the girl's name, let alone the tragic story behind it.
People's joys and sorrows are not the same, but their hearts are warm.
