【New Red Mansion】Perfect World

After the coming-of-age ceremony, Shui Rong had no time to rest before he received an invitation from Director He Yichen to audition for a commercial.

This advertisement is a sub-brand of a state-owned enterprise men's formal wear brand. It is a clothing series mainly based on sports polo shirts, and is aimed at men who love sports and are above high school age. The advertisement is shot with tennis as the theme. The reason why tennis players were not invited to shoot the advertisement is that the brand wants to be more approachable and wants to monopolize the purchasing power of students as much as possible during the younger age period, so the actors they found are mainly high school students or more appropriate ages.

Shui Rong was a good match in terms of age, social status and hobbies, so he prepared to go for the audition.

The audition went smoothly of course. He Yichen was a director who knew exactly what he wanted, and with Li Haoze's arrangement, Shui Rong naturally got the advertising contract.

Now Lawyer Zhen is the exclusive legal officer of Li Shuirong’s newly established studio, so contract matters are naturally handed over to Lawyer Zhen.

On Friday, Li Shuirong was arranged to go to Haicheng to watch the Rolex Tennis Masters. The purpose was to see the standard movements of tennis masters and then study their sense of relaxation.

On Saturday night, Lin Pin'er was invited to a party. Baoyu invited her to a Halloween costume party. Pin'er thought Xiangyun loved the hustle and bustle, so she agreed. But Xiangyun actually wanted to go to the live house to watch the performance that day.

Xiangyun was quite responsible. She picked out a puffy skirt with princess sleeves for Lin Pin'er, found a cat ear hairpin for her to wear, and put on a red-eyed cat makeup for her.

Baoyu dressed up as a vampire duke today, and because he had fair skin, he looked like one. Wu Qing joined them soon after, and the three of them went out first and headed towards the main building of the banquet hall.

Wu Qing was dressed as a female vampire today, and Pin'er always wanted to keep a distance from them, with a hint of disdain. But seeing that their figures were a good match, she had no choice but to follow them from a distance.

Baoyu even brought a pumpkin lantern to light up the place for them. Wu Qing pouted, "It's not as bright as the flashlight on my phone!"

"You still dislike me? Isn't this appropriate?" The two started bickering again. For a moment, Pin'er thought that it would be nice if they could be together, but Wu Qing didn't seem to have any romantic feelings for Baoyu. At most, they seemed like good friends.

Entering the door that was covered with black curtains, the ballroom was in dark purple style. Pin'er also followed Wu Qing's example and used the flashlight on her mobile phone for lighting.

"This is for you. It goes perfectly with your outfit today." Baoyu gave the pumpkin lantern to Pin'er.

They found a seat and sat down, and then waiters wearing cloaks and masks brought them champagne glasses.

Pin'er took the champagne glass and took a sip. Suddenly she thought of Shui Rong. It was not that they had not seen each other for a day or two before, but he was in the capital at that time. As long as Pin'er wanted to see him, Shui Rong would always run to her quickly. But now he was not in the capital, and she didn't know what he was doing at the moment.

Just as she was thinking, the phone screen in her hand lit up, and Pin'er quickly ran out of the banquet hall to answer the call:

"Shui Rong, I was just thinking about you and you called me!" Pin'er said as soon as the call was connected.

"Me too, this is the legendary telepathy. I miss you, Pin'er!"

"What are you doing?"

"What are you doing?"

The two asked in unison. Pin'er smiled happily, and Shui Rong on the other end of the phone also chuckled.

"Baoyu called me to a boring dance party. Everyone here is dressed up weirdly. It's said to be a Halloween masquerade party." Pin'er complained while shaking her two high ponytails.

Shui Rong raised his hand and glanced at the date on the dial: "Oh, yes, today is Halloween, I forgot."

"You also know about this festival?"

"I know, but I haven't celebrated Halloween either. You and I were reborn almost at the same time. Judging from the time we were reborn into this world, we were both babies less than one year old." Shui Rong teased her.

"Then I'm going to change your note: baby less than one year old."

"I'll change it for you too." The two laughed again.

"Then be careful and don't play too late. Call me when you get back. I'm already back at the hotel. I'm going to rest and will be back tomorrow morning."

"I know." Pin'er hung up the phone sweetly.

When I went back, I searched for a long time before I found Baoyu in the dark. Thanks to the pumpkin lantern, otherwise I would not have been able to tell the direction. "

Suddenly I thought of my geography teacher, a middle-aged female teacher. She seemed to lack strength when speaking, and she pronounced all words with the second tone. I remember one class she said: "How to identify directions? North is up, south is down, west is left, east is right." That strange pronunciation is still fresh in my memory.

As soon as she sat down, Wu Qing asked her, "What happy thing happened to Pin'er? You smile so cutely."

"Hahaha, when I couldn't find you, I thought of our geography teacher."

"Are you talking about the geography teacher who always speaks in second tone?" Wu Qing immediately got what made Pin'er laugh. The two girls whispered to each other and then burst into laughter again.

As they were laughing, Baochai and Xue Wenqi came over and stopped in front of their table.

"Baoyu, how long have you been here?"

Xue Wenqi was also amazed for a long time when he saw Lin Pin'er, and immediately sat down next to Baoyu.

The originally happy atmosphere became a little strange because of the arrival of the brother and sister.

The lights gradually became brighter and the dance officially began.

Baoyu's eyes lit up: "Wu Qing, let's go dance."

"I can't do it." Wu Qing is the best at hiding her weaknesses. If she is good at something, no one can steal her limelight. If she is not good at it, she doesn't want to do it at all.

"I don't know how to dance very well, so I'll just dance blindly. It's so dark and no one will watch my dancing skills." Baoyu advised.

"I can. Let's go dance!" Baochai said this and without waiting for Baoyu to say anything, she pulled him into the dance floor.

Today Baochai is wearing a golden princess dress with her hair in big waves draped behind her head, like a princess.

Baoyu was being led by her. Although he was thinking about Wu Qing, he didn't want to reject Baochai too much, so he danced with her randomly.

Gradually, more and more people gathered in the dance floor, dancing in pairs, with all kinds of gorgeous dance dresses spinning.

Wu Qing looked at their glamorous appearance and then thought about herself, and she finally developed a feeling of inferiority.

They were all from wealthy families, so of course they quickly blended into this kind of flashy party. I was just a migrant worker in Beijing, I didn't even have a home, no Beijing hukou, and no prominent family background.

Pin'er noticed Wu Qing's depression and tugged at her sleeve, saying, "If you want to dance, I'll dance with you?"

"No, I'm going to the bathroom, do you want to go?"

"Okay." Pin'er originally didn't want to go, but if Wu Qing left, she and Xue Wenqi would have nothing to say to each other, wouldn't that be awkward.

The two girls walked slowly to the bathroom. Xue Wenqi was distracted and didn't notice why his goddess went out, so he followed them out to find them.

After coming out of the bathroom, Pin'er saw that Wu Qing didn't seem as depressed as before.

"If you hadn't come today, I would rather stay at home and listen to music. I'm not interested in this kind of dance at all."

"I didn't want to come, but Baoyu asked me to come. After I came, I played with others." Wu Qing became even angrier when she talked about this.

"I think you were right not to choose him. Shui Rong is better. You are the first in everything. If another woman asked him to dance in an occasion like today, he would definitely not go."

"Are you jealous?" Pin'er asked teasingly.

"No, I treat Baoyu as a friend. But my principle of making friends is: if I don't like someone, I hope he doesn't dislike her as much as I do, but don't get too close to her either."

Pin'er nodded immediately: "I understand your point. You hope your friends will stand on the same front with you."

"Yes, actually I don't have anything too offensive about Baochai, but I just can't like her. I think her power is too obvious, and she seems to look down on me. Of course, I don't think much of her, what's so great about her, I don't rely on her for food or clothes. Most importantly, I don't care about Baoyu at all. Whoever wants to care about him can do so."

Pin'er was amused by Wu Qing's angry expression: "You are definitely a piece of charcoal, but what you said makes sense. Baoyu is actually quite good, why don't you consider becoming my sister-in-law!"
