I guess what she was urging was the person she told me on the phone that she was going to bring to have dinner with us today.
"There's a traffic jam. There's no other way. Let's go and sit down first. The business of this place is so good that when I called to make a reservation, there was only one small table left in the lobby. Fortunately, there are few of us." Zhuang Qing immediately said
Say to us.
It is indeed a small table, but the location is very good, by the window. It can fit four people.
Zhuang Qing asked Liu Meng to sit down next to her. She said, "I want to sit opposite Feng Xiao because I want to take a good look at him."
She is still as bold and bold as before. Liu Meng's boldness is much inferior to hers.
I smiled and said to Zhuang Qing: "You are an actor now, aren't you afraid of the paparazzi following you? You are still so careless."
She laughed and said: "The paparazzi won't notice me at all now because I'm not qualified yet. So, if I don't be more casual now, I may not have such an opportunity in the future."
I smiled and said: "That makes sense."
"What movie are you in?" Liu Meng asked curiously.
"You will know about the TV series that will be broadcast on CCTV during prime time in the second half of this year." Zhuang Qing replied, "Actually, I am very nervous now. I don't know what the response will be like."
"It will definitely be very good. It's a work by a famous director, and as far as I know, famous directors have very strict requirements for actors. Since the director has approved your performance, it will also be broadcast on CCTV
, this itself shows his expectations for you." I said.
"You are really good at talking." She said with a genuine smile, and then said to me: "Feng Xiao, the commercial I shot will be broadcast on CCTV soon. It will be together with the TV series."
I was very happy for her, "Oh? An advertisement for what product?"
"A brand of shampoo. Look, didn't my hair grow very long?" She smiled and smoothed her hair.
"Your hair is really nice. But the hair of the actresses in the advertisement seems to be even better," Liu Meng said.
Zhuang Qing smiled and said: "Of course. Because when I shoot commercials, my hair is oiled. The same is true for the commercials I shoot."
Liu Meng smiled and said: "So that's what I said."
I looked at Zhuang Qing and smiled, "Tell me, how much money did you make from filming that commercial?"
She was also looking at me and smiling, and then she put her index finger to her mouth, "Shh! This has to be kept secret. But there is no problem if I treat you to dinner today."
I went to look at her clothes and said, "I see. It seems that our Miss Zhuang Qing has become a rich woman now."
"Hateful. What kind of rich woman? It sounds so ugly." She glanced at me and then laughed again, "Feng Xiao, do you know something? Zhang Shiyu is planning to marry an old man."
I was so shocked that I almost asked, "How did you know?" But luckily I suppressed it, and the words that came out of my mouth became: "No way?"
"Why did I lie to you? It was published in today's newspapers. This is also a big event in our entertainment industry. Hehe! This poem is just a stupid girl. It's a pity." She said, and then
Sighing.
Liu Meng came to see me, and her eyes were full of suspicion. I shook my head at her, meaning to tell her not to ask. Because now I was eager to ask Zhuang Qing a few questions, "What kind of person is that director?"
"A well-known director, if he wasn't too old, I don't think it would be a big deal. But...hey! This poem is really stupid. Why is she so stupid?" She sighed even harder.
"Why do you say that?" This is actually the second question I want to ask.
"The director himself wanted to use this incident to create hype. Because the box office performance of his recent movies has been very poor, and his reputation is getting smaller and smaller, so he thought of using this method to hype himself. This poem
"Yu, she was stupid enough to bump into me. Feng Xiao, I have long seen that she is stupid, and she is so self-righteous. It's a pity, she is ruined," she said.
"Since the director's purpose is to create hype, isn't Zhang Shiyu also being hyped? She was originally an unknown little person, but now everyone knows about it? It's not necessarily true that she also borrowed money.
It’s become famous right now.” I said. Although I was asking this question, I suddenly felt very uncomfortable. Only now did I realize how accurate Sun Lulu’s previous analysis was.
"That kind of hype only works for shameless people. I believe Zhang Shiyu can't be that shameless. Of course, she may also want to use this to become famous, but I guess she won't be able to withstand the pressure from her family and society in the end.
All kinds of pressure. She is too young and does not have such strong nerves," she said.
I couldn't help but sigh because I knew Zhuang Qing's analysis was correct.
Now, I can't help but wonder: How would Principal Zhang feel? Judging from what Zhuang Qing just said, there is probably nothing anyone can do about this matter.
"Zhuang Qing, you are also relatives after all. You should help her. She is still young after all, and she has no direct contradiction or conflict with you." I sighed and said.
"How do you know that I haven't persuaded her? In fact, I was the first to know about this matter. We have a fellow villager who is also from Beipiao, and he told me about this matter. So I immediately called Zhang Shiyu
Phone call, Feng Xiao, do you know how she answered me? She said, Zhuang Qing, are you afraid that I will be more famous than you in the future? I was so angry that I hung up the phone immediately," she said.
I completely believe what she said, because Zhang Shiyu has that kind of character.
"Don't talk about this matter. It's going to rain. My mother is getting married. There's nothing we can do about it. Zhuang Qing, let's have a drink tonight." I said.
"That's for sure. What would you like to drink?" she asked me with a smile.
"When you get to Beijing, of course you have to drink Beijing Erguotou." I said.
"Just what I want. This wine is cheap." Zhuang Qing looked at me and kept smiling.
Of course I knew she was joking, but I felt that it was worthwhile to go somewhere to drink local wine and eat famous local food.
Just after ordering wine and food, Zhuang Qing's phone rang. After she answered it, she immediately stood up and waved in the direction of the door. After a while, I saw a girl coming in front of us.
I looked at her in surprise, thinking that she seemed very familiar. But she didn't show that she knew me. I secretly wondered: because I am very confident in my memory.
Zhuang Qing introduced her to me and Liu Meng, and I immediately knew her name was Huo Simin. Zhuang Qing did not introduce her profession, only that she was her friend.
Now I began to doubt my memory, because the name Huo Simin had no impression at all in my mind.
Huo Simin doesn't drink. But I can't say anything because it's uncivilized to persuade girls to drink. Zhuang Qing explained: "She is a singer and she has to protect her voice, so she can't drink."
Huo Simin apologized: "This is just one reason. In fact, the most important thing is that I never drink. I will get drunk if I touch a little bit of wine."
"That's okay. Drinking is actually a very painful thing. Especially after you are drunk, the feeling is simply worse than being sick." I said. I don't know why, but I found that the more I looked at her, the more I felt.
I had seen the same thing somewhere, but I couldn't remember it for a while. This was very painful, so I simply stopped thinking about it. It might be like a certain beautiful patient of mine. I analyzed it this way.
Zhuang Qing was very happy today, and she was a little excited. She kept urging Liu Meng and me to drink, and the three of us quickly drank a bottle of Erguotou.
When Zhuang Qing was about to ask for another bottle, I stopped her and said, "Enough is enough. The alcohol content of this wine is too high."
"Feng Xiao, you are not as bold as you were in Jiangnan." Zhuang Qing said unhappily, "Today is the first time you and I have a drink in Beijing. No matter what, we both have to get drunk. Do you know?
Today when I heard the news about your arrival in Beijing on the phone, I almost went crazy with joy. No, we have to drink another bottle."
At this time Liu Meng stood up and pulled Huo Simin's arm, "Little sister Huo, let's go out and talk for a while."
I could see that Liu Meng wanted to leave a space for Zhuang Qing and me to be alone together. Huo Simin immediately understood her intention, and then stood up and left with her.
Zhuang Qing looked at me and smiled, "Feng Xiao, you are a good girlfriend, she has the same demeanor as I did back then."
I also laughed immediately, "Zhuang Qing, what are you talking about? How can you become so old-fashioned at such a young age? What about your demeanor back then? I think her personality is quite similar to yours."
She looked at me with strange eyes, "Feng Xiao, is it because I am no longer with you, so you went to find her to replace me?"
I shook my head hastily, "What? No."
"Hey!" She sighed, "Feng Xiao, in fact, what I miss most now is the days we used to be together. Unfortunately, these days are gone and will never come back. People, if you gain something, you must lose it.
It’s that simple.”
"Then what do you think Zhang Shiyu gained? What did he lose?" I asked immediately.
She shook her head, "The sad thing is her. She won't gain anything, only lose. That's why I call her stupid."
I was silent for a moment.
"Feng Xiao, are you feeling uncomfortable? She is your woman after all. Haha! Feng Xiao, if you want to help her, it's still too late. There is a way to make her reject the old man right away." She smiled at her.
I said.
I was immediately overjoyed, "What can I do? Tell me quickly."
She looked at me strangely, and I couldn't help but feel embarrassed. Only then did I realize that I had just lost my composure.
"The only way now is for you to propose to her." She looked at me and said slowly, word by word.
I originally thought she would come up with some brilliant idea, but I didn’t expect it to be such a suggestion. I smiled bitterly and said: "Zhuang Qing, don’t tell me that this matter is completely impossible. Even if it is possible, she will not necessarily do it because of it."
Change your mind. Who am I, Feng Xiao? I am very self-aware, but I am not that charming."
"That's true." She smiled, "But if you and I appear in front of her very affectionately, do you think she will change her mind?"
I was immediately stunned, and I immediately understood what she meant: she wanted to take advantage of Zhang Shiyu's competitive mentality, and at the same time, she wanted to take advantage of Zhang Shiyu's inner dissatisfaction with Zhuang Qing. (To be continued)
