i love you after all

Weng Danyang sighed, and kept flipping through his phone. He clicked on Weibo to watch for a while, and then returned to the main interface to check the time;After a while, I said to myself in a weak voice: "Why don't you come..."

Dan Jin also glanced at the phone, 10 minutes have passed since the appointment with Li Jiaxiao.Regardless of the other party's status, background, or how many faces there are, it is always very rude to be late.

Weng Danyang summoned the waiter and refilled his empty cup with another cup of coffee. The neon lights outside the window were reflected on the cloudy surface of the coffee, which seemed to lose its true color.On the contrary, Dan Jin took a copy of the evening paper in a calm manner, skipped the entertainment section with her name printed on it, and read social news silently.

At exactly 08:30, a middle-aged balding man with a well-dressed appearance and a computer bag pushed open the small door of the coffee shop. He was quite tall, and subconsciously lowered his head when he entered the door.Seeing him coming, Weng Danyang put down his coffee, Danjin put down the newspaper, and they both stood up at the same time.

"Director Li, you are here, this way, this way."

Weng Danyang directly left his seat to greet him.While thanking her, Li Jiaxiao walked over quickly, had a few polite words with her, and the two of them sat down opposite to Dan Jin.With an apologetic smile, Li Jiaxiao was unexpectedly unassuming, and sincerely apologized to them: "I'm really sorry, the city center is too congested at night, I have already left half an hour earlier, I didn't expect to hurry or hurry up." A little late."

Weng Danyang hurriedly answered: "Isn't this a shame for us little people? It's an honor for you to take time out of your busy schedule to meet us. What's the point of waiting?"

"Hey, don't, don't, don't," Li Jiaxiao smiled kindly, obviously looking overwhelmed, "We don't need to talk too much when we are free, let's talk about business as soon as possible."

Weng Danyang got up immediately: "Then you talk to Xiaojin first, I will order you a cup of coffee, and we will talk while drinking."

Li Jiaxiao nodded with a smile.When Weng Danyang walked away, he smiled again, put the computer bag on the side of the chair, and asked casually, "Is this your manager?"

Dan Jin shook his head politely: "Assistant."

"Oh..." Li Jiaxiao paused, raised his eyes and glanced at Dan Jin, his tone was still casual and friendly, "Your company will send an assistant to negotiate the contract."

Danjin could hear that he was questioning Yunzhou's cooperative attitude, so she smiled: "Don't worry, Danyang can be regarded as half of ANT's manager. She is a veteran employee in Yunzhou, and she is just an assistant."

"Actually, who she is is not that important to me. Whether it's the boss, the agent, or the assistant, it's just for you to sign the contract. What I care about is you," Li Jiaxiao's voice was deep and slow, quite majestic , "After all, you came to play my part."

Danjin didn't know what to answer, she didn't want to say compliments, so she hummed lightly.

"You are really different from those other actresses." Li Jiaxiao leaned forward slightly, staring at Dan Jin closely, "I don't really like many actors, and even fewer actors I admire, but you——you are one of them." An actor I admire."

Dan Jin was taken aback, "Me? You... know me?"

Li Jiaxiao laughed at himself, and sighed: "At the wine table, I heard a few other colleagues mention you. After you became popular, they all intended to praise you. From what they said, it seems that they also made some unserious additional requirements. You should have seized the opportunity, made some compromises, and gained a firm foothold in Traffic Xiaohua, but you rejected them all. Do you know how they scolded you at the dinner table?"

Dan Jin's face froze, and his tone was slightly cold: "You also think I should compromise."

"It's not that I think you should compromise, it's the world that forces you to compromise." Li Jiaxiao sat back, leaning on the back of the sofa, with a smile in his eyes, "But you didn't, did you? There are many things in this world, everyone knows What to do is right, what to do is wrong, but there are too few people who can put it into action. The fewer such people, the more valuable. The more valuable, the more I admire."

Dan Jin knew in her heart that she was not as noble as Li Jiaxiao said, she refused to accept those deals, she simply didn't want to have sex with those men, it had nothing to do with right or wrong.But speaking of this, she had no choice but to get on the par: "...Thank you."

"But you should also know that I can only praise you so much without involving my own interests. Once I cooperate with you, I can no longer hang on so high." Li Jiaxiao narrowed his eyes.

Danjin understood what he meant, and was used to this sudden turning point. She didn't want to beat around the bush, and asked directly, "Do you want me to make that kind of compromise?"

Li Jiaxiao looked at her expression and smiled heartily: "Where are you going? Although I am not a very good person, I will not be reduced to being compared with those dirty things. I do have some additional requirements, which is fine. It destroys morality, so I have to turn this corner to save some face for my shame."

Dan Jin frowned, "What request?"

Li Jiaxiao sat up straight, raised his eyebrows, and said in a low voice: "You know, I asked you to play the role of Zhou Zhiruo. There is a scene in the play where Zhou Zhiruo and Zhang Wuji meet for the first time on the bank of the Han River, and we need a six or seven A girl who was [-] years old came to play Zhou Zhiruo's childhood, I thought, if you could bring that little girl surnamed Ran..."

When Dan Jin heard it, he was in a trance for a moment.She didn't know what to answer, and after a while, she choked out a sentence:

"I thought you were willing to find me because of Luo Shen."

"That kid is too self-indulgent. I have been watching your news for the past few days, and he just brought it up, so I sold him a favor halfway."

Li Jiaxiao slowed down, and then said: "Actually, I am Yemenerqing, that little girl is already very miserable. It is indeed... really disgusting to use her family's ruined background to hype a new drama, but you also know that the entertainment circle That’s how it is, filming and creation are all based on the fact that everyone makes money. If you don’t make money, no one will invest, there will be no cost, no advertising, no exposure, what shit art is, it’s just a victim among capitalists.”

Danjin retracted her fingers with difficulty, lowered her head slightly, and swallowed her saliva.

After a long while, she said softly, "Even if I am willing, won't there be discussions from the outside world?"

Li Jiaxiao said: "You don't have to worry about this, I will make all the arrangements, and the general process will be like this: You join the filming group, and the little girl comes to visit the set, and the originally scheduled young actor Zhou Zhiruo is sick, so I casually proposed to let the little girl The girl gave it a try, but she didn't expect the effect to be good, so she cut it directly into the feature film. You see, if you report it like this, your reputation will not be damaged. You can get this resource, and my drama can also become more popular with this Floors, isn’t it a win-win situation?”

...Are you going to use her again?

She was just a child who didn't understand anything, her parents died tragically, she was living under the fence, and now she has a tendency to be autistic again.It was already an extremely immoral and dirty thing to use her at the beginning, so to use an orphan again and again, just to make her popular again, just to make more money.

Wouldn't doing this really harm Yin De?

"If you can accept it, let's discuss the salary today, and I'll go back and make the contract." Li Jiaxiao tilted his head,

Dan Jin took a deep breath and remained silent for a long time.

"...This...Actually, it's fine for you and my company to work together. I'm just an artist of the company, so I can't make the final decision."

"Your company? You mean Old Shen? I called him this morning, and he agreed without blinking. I came here today to talk to you so much just to get your consent. Li Jiaxiao put his chin on the back of his hand and sighed, "I said before that I admire you, so I will respect you too. Even if you are just an employee of Yunzhou."

As soon as the word "employee" came out, Dan Jin couldn't help but smiled wryly.

Forget it, riding a tiger is hard to get off.

She looked at the cold coffee on the table, and finally compromised: "...Then you...contact Boss Shen and Lao Yu to sign the contract. When you join the team, let me know at any time."

"You are indeed good. You are principled, but not pedantic. You are a sensible person who knows how to deal with things. I like sensible people. The filming of Yitian is finished, and I will take care of you more in the future." Li Jiaxiao stood up and picked up the computer Bao, with a satisfied and kind smile on the corner of his mouth, "At that time, if you want to stay in Yunzhou, or come to Xiaotian for entertainment, it's fine."

"Thank you." Dan Jin also stood up to see him off, smiling politely while declining, "Yun Zhou is very good, I don't dare to take too much from you. Otherwise, I always worry about how I will pay you back."

As soon as Li Jiaxiao heard the word "return" she said, he understood the meaning of her words, laughed and said: "Hey, girl, there is no need to be so cautious, you can rest assured."

After finishing speaking, he silently made another set of mouth shapes: "I—don't—like—female—people."

Dan Jin was so enlightened that he couldn't laugh or cry in his heart, feeling that all his worries suddenly seemed a little funny.

Before leaving, Li Jiaxiao reminded: "Remember, try to guide that little girl to come to the set willingly with you. The whole set of the play will be done. Only you and I will know about this matter. After being fooled by everyone on the set, the reporters and the public will also take it seriously."

Weng Danyang finally brought hot coffee, but just happened to meet Li Jiaxiao leaving, she hurriedly asked him to stay, Li Jiaxiao just waved his hand and said goodbye in a cheerful manner.

"Just leave like this, so whether we can cooperate or not? It's a headache." Weng Danyang scratched his head in distress, rolled his eyes, looked at Dan Jin and smiled, "Xiao Jin, we chatted for a long time, what's wrong with Director Li?" like?"

Dan Jin pursed her lips and chuckled, and spit out these words:

"Not bright, but upright, roughly considered a gentleman."
