Pei Xiao pressed his face against the phone almost obsessively, as if he could hear Xi Xiangdong's breathing, even and shallow, as he fell into a deep sleep, as if he was lying next to her.
Pei Xiao stared blankly at the skylight filtering through the curtains, illuminating her small bedroom. She finally blinked, sat up, and said to the phone: "Good morning."
I finally hung up the phone reluctantly, and it rang again almost immediately.
Pei Xiao was startled, and when he picked it up, he realized that it was Xi Wanlai.
"Who are you talking to on the phone so early in the morning? You can't get through."
Pei Xiao was extremely embarrassed: "No, no... I probably accidentally touched the call button while I was asleep..."
Fortunately, the topic was quickly dropped. Xi Wan said, "Get up quickly and prepare for the premiere."
"Ah? So early?"
Later, Pei Xiao learned that celebrities usually start preparing their looks early in the morning when attending important ceremonies, and some even start dieting half a month in advance to stay in shape.
Xi Wanlai stayed with her all the way to the beauty salon, applying facial makeup and doing hair.
After struggling for a few hours, Xi Wanlai sat on the sofa drinking coffee and reading a magazine.
The stylist was his close friend, and the accessories Pei Xiao wore were the stylist's personal belongings and were lent to her by friendship.
When leaving, Pei Xiao, who had always had the straight hair of Qingtang Noodles, finally had a breakthrough in styling. The hairstylist gave her a retro hairstyle like that of an old Shanghai showgirl during the Republic of China, with thick black bangs that curved across her forehead.
.The ears are decorated with large opal earrings, and an absolutely weighty diamond necklace is placed on the white collarbone.
Pei Xiao didn't know how to thank her for spending such a huge amount of money. When she came out, she said, "Wait a minute." Then she lowered her head and took out a beautiful box from her bag and handed it to Xi Wanlai: "Merry X'mas!"
Xi Wanlai was stunned for a moment, then took it and opened it. When he saw the tie inside, a knowing smile appeared on his lips.
Pei Xiao thought for a while and decided to add some emotion: "I have never only regarded you as an agent, you know."
She didn't know what the relationship was between other managers and artists. To her, Xi Wanlai was already a relative, a friend, and an indispensable part of her life.
In the afternoon, I went to Meng Jiao's place to try on dresses. Unexpectedly, the foreign designer friend she mentioned was actually the famous chief designer of Elie saab.
Elie saab serves the royal families of Eastern Europe and the Middle East. It has only started customizing garments in recent years. It has always only sponsored Hollywood stars. No star in China has been able to wear Elie saab's dresses.
Even Xi Wanlai gave him a thumbs up: "Designer Meng, your friend is so awesome."
Meng Jiao said proudly: "Can I lose my place to my sisters?" She turned around and helped Pei Xiao take care of her skirt, while cheering: "Tonight you must dominate the audience and defeat that firewood girl Jiang Xiaoou, and
What about Yang Yunguang?"
Pei Xiao was sweating silently: "Isn't it good for me to be in the limelight like this..." She still understands the truth that a big tree attracts attention. Back then, Mr. Fan's rise to power was too sudden and his popularity was too domineering, which is why he later became "a thousand arrows piercing the heart"
, just get used to it."
Meng Jiao dismissed it: "What are you afraid of? Just step forward when it's time to step forward!"
Pei Xiao thought that it might be an accident for her to enter the entertainment industry, but the most beautiful reward for her from this accident is that she has a few more such warm and caring friends around her.
