shallow affection

The summer heat is beginning to rise, like a half-grown wild child, trying to explore, sneaking around, being extinguished by a thunderstorm from time to time, but always refusing to give up, tenaciously going from the bottom of the wall, treetops, and cracks in the stones. Seep out.

Jian Qingli walked into the office building with her camera and lens, and was already sweating when she arrived at the editorial office of "hifashion".Makeup artist Shu Liang and assistant Zuo Mei were preparing in the studio, and nodded when they saw him.

Zuo Mei neatly lined up the brushes and said, "Brother Jian, I haven't seen you for a while. Last month's magazine cover was shot by Zhou Muqiu."

"Isn't that right? Sister Liang likes the new and dislikes the old. She probably will kick me away soon."

The three of them gathered together to chat and laugh, Zuo Mei covered her mouth mysteriously, talking happily about Chu Quan, the subject of today's shooting, "Do you know Bao|Yangmen two years ago?"

Shu Liang felt very helpless for this ineffective apprentice, and gave her a blank look, "Don't worry about gossip all day long, can you think about skills?"

Jian Qingli vaguely knew about the so-called Baoyang family. Although he usually didn't care about the entertainment industry, the incident was so big that anyone who surfed the Internet had heard about it, not to mention that Chu Quan quit the screen because of it.

Zuo Mei has a good relationship with her master, and she didn't take it seriously when she was reprimanded. She muttered quite seriously, "This Guangya second young master Guan really knows how to play. Back then, he was talking to Chu Quan's fans at the Heart Lamp Night Charity Auction. I'm bidding on his shirt. I don't know if the two are a foster or true love."

When the agreed shooting time was approaching, there was a commotion at the entrance of "hifashion" magazine.Zuo Mei went out to join in the fun, and when she came back she looked excited: "My God, Er Shao Guan and Chu Quan are here together!"

The real Chu Quan was more handsome than in the photos, with a calm and elegant demeanor, and a warm smile always hung on the corner of his mouth.In recent years, he has retreated to the second line and switched careers as a director, and has achieved very impressive results.Although many people look down on him, and Heizi even said that he "leaves his back on a big tree to enjoy the shade", Chu Quan speaks with his strength. During the Spring Festival this year, his debut novel broke out as a dark horse and became the biggest winner. .

Among the people who came with him, the man in a T-shirt and jeans, looking around leisurely, caught the most attention.Zuo Mei secretly told Jian Qingli that he was the rumored second young master of the Guan family, the chairman of Guangya Media, and the benefactor of Chu Quan, Guan Qianyue.

The president personally greeted the two of them, and entertained them in every possible way.The editors dare not openly watch, but they can't help but glance at them from the corner of the eye.Jian Qingli also felt fresh, and asked in a low voice, "How old is Guan Ershao?" He still felt like a college student.

Zuo Mei's face was flushed, she was committing a nympho, she answered after a while, she is 30 years old, can't think of it.

Chu Quan entered the dressing room, smiled at Shu Liang and Zuo Mei, and said thank you.Zuo Meigan has been in this business for half a year, but she was inexplicably nervous that day, her brushes and puffs fell off several times, and even her master's face turned black, but Chu Quan was not annoyed, and said kindly that it was okay.

Because of this detail, Zuo Mei's affection for Chu Quan doubled, and she never forgot it for many years.

The shooting that day went very smoothly. As the director, Chu Quan was not as arrogant and picky as He Cen. He cooperated with everything Jian Qingli said, and quickly completed the cover shoot.

When Chu Quan was being interviewed, Guan Qianyue was accompanied by the president of "hifashion" Liang Haian to visit. He seemed to be very interested in the deer head sculpture hanging in the conference room. He stopped to look at it for a while and asked a few questions. question.

Zuo Mei murmured to Jian Qingli in a low voice, if Sister Liang had a wink, she should take down this ornament and give it to Master Guan later.

He really hit the mark. After the interview, Liang Haian tactfully proposed to Chu Quan that if they didn't dislike it, he would give them that little piece of art as a souvenir.Chu Quan was astonished, and naturally refused. Liang Haian said, Mr. Guan asked a few words just now, and I think he seems to like it.After hearing this, Chu Quan smiled and said that you should leave him alone, he just asked casually.

Liang Haian didn't give up and wanted to fight for it. At this time, Guan Qianyue came out of the reception room and asked Chu Quan with a smile, "Are you ready?"

Chu Quan nodded and said, "Do you like the deer head handicraft in the conference room? Ms. Liang wants to give it to you."

Guan Qianyue had an inexplicable expression: "What are you doing for me? I'll just ask."

Jian Qingli and the three of them happened to be sitting nearby, covering their mouths and giggling, tears came out.After Chu Quan and Guan Qianyue left, Zuo Mei straightened her bangs and sighed with infinite regret: "Are they foster or true love?"

Shu Liang was secretly worried about this emotionally retarded apprentice: "You still can't see this?"

"See what?" Zuo Mei asked Jian Qingli for help, "Brother Jian, did you see it?"

Jian Qingli smiled without saying a word.Shu Liang also said: "However, when it comes to emotional matters, what is true and what is not, what you see may not be what you see, especially in the entertainment industry, sometimes outsiders can see through it, and the person involved is still in the fog."

Jian Qingli clicked his tongue in admiration, and was so impressed: "Mr. Shu is a great philosopher."

They took the elevator downstairs together, and as soon as they stepped in, Jian Qingli received a call from Fang Mingzhan.He was holding the phone, the regular vibrations made his palms itchy, but he was stunned for a while, and Zuo Mei reminded: "Brother Jian, why don't you answer the phone."

"Hmm, hello," a monosyllabic word that Jian Qingli could barely grasp.

"Are you finished?"

"Ah."

The other end was quiet for a while, and said, "Let's have dinner together tonight."

"Okay. Your home?"

"Restaurant." Jian Qingli heard the sound of capping the pen, closing the document, sliding the swivel chair, and Fang Mingzhan's teasing laughter, "You seem to be very busy recently, do you have time?"

"Boss Fang is busy." Jian Qingli asked Fang Mingzhan to send him the address, and then cut off the phone.

The elevator stopped on the second floor, and there was a weird atmosphere in the enclosed space.Shu Liang winked at Zuo Mei and asked if she could see it?Zuo Mei suddenly realized, she nodded frantically, she saw it!

Jian Qingli was taken aback, but when she came back to her senses, she became annoyed: "You two, stop putting on makeup and talk about cross talk!"

Dinner was eaten at a barbecue restaurant.Jian Qingli is not used to Western food, she likes those strong, unhealthy but delicious food.Before entering the store, he looked at himself in front of the glass and always felt a little listless.I just had my hair cut two days ago, and the barber I know was away, so I found a new one, which made it seem less natural than before.

Just as he was looking at it fascinated, he suddenly heard a crisp knocking sound, and took a closer look, it turned out that Fang Mingzhan was sitting behind this piece of glass.He raised his eyebrows and flashed a cheerful smile.

Jian Qingli walked into the store and declined the enthusiastic waiter who tried to lead the way.Fang Mingzhan had already ordered a lot of dishes, and the pork belly sizzled on the tin foil, and it was rolled out after a while.Jian Qingli sat down opposite him, holding up the roselle tea in front of her.

They haven't seen each other for five days, and they don't know what to say for the first sentence.Jian Qingli clutched the chunky glass, drank slowly with a straw in her mouth, and glanced up at Fang Mingzhan.

To be honest, one thing has been bothering him these days.Ever since he confided the inside story of the breakup with Leo, he couldn't help but think about the meaning of the sentence "maybe he has difficulties".

"Stupid?" Fang Mingzhan raised his fingers and tapped on the table.

Jian Qingli picked up the chopsticks, put a piece of baby food into his mouth, and chewed it. He crossed Erlang's leg and accidentally hit Fang Mingzhan's calf with his toes. A few times.

The meal was very quiet, but not dull. Jian Qingli kept making small movements, and those small movements were his exclusive language, which only Fang Mingzhan could understand.He knew that Jian Qingli was worrying about Leo's words, but he was not Leo at the moment, and he didn't want to bring up the old things again.

When checking out, a text message popped up.In today's era, except for harassing text messages from merchants, almost no one uses this channel to express their feelings.Fang Mingzhan didn't take it seriously, glanced at it casually, and then froze.

It turned out to be from a blind date.

"What's the matter?" Jian Qingli saw that he was standing still, so he stretched out his mobile phone to scan the code for the cashier.

He didn't intend to pry into the privacy, really not, he turned his head just out of curiosity, and after seeing the first few words clearly, he hurriedly looked away.

Fang Mingzhan exited the SMS interface and put the phone in his pocket.He remained calm, as if nothing had happened.

When they arrived at the parking lot, Jian Qingli took out the car key to unlock it, and asked, "Are you going to my house?"

The tone was hesitant.

Fang Mingzhan nodded and said, "You are in front, drive slowly."

Jian Qingli started the car and it still drove crookedly.He was not very focused, and there was always a cold mechanical female voice echoing in his ears, repeating: "Mr. Fang, hello, I'm Ge Yiyi."

Ge Yiyi, sounds like a girl's name.

What will she say next?Can't guess.

Fang Mingzhan's Bentley followed Jian Qingli closely. After turning into a road with sparse traffic, he put on a Bluetooth headset and called Yang Tong.

It would be one o'clock in the afternoon in London time. Yang Tong had just finished his lunch, and when he saw the caller, he smiled, and there was some warmth in the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.In Cangshi, she was not affectionate to Fang Mingzhan before, and the relationship between mother and child was cold, but in the past two years, Yang Tong has realized the preciousness of family affection more and more, so she has been trying her best to restore the relationship between mother and child, and the results are not bad.

She answered the phone tenderly, but unexpectedly, her son came to Xingshi to inquire about the crime.

"I gave your number to Yiyi, what's the matter?" Yang Tong frowned, "The girl is beautiful and good at studies, why don't you get acquainted with her over dinner?"

The brake lights of the car in front flashed, Fang Mingzhan stopped and said, "The pharmaceutical factory hasn't been set up yet, so I don't want to fall in love right now."

"It's not that you are required to date her, it's just a meal, how long can a meal take?" Yang Tong's tone became higher and higher, like a rubber band stretched to the extreme, she stopped to take a breath, He added, "Could it be that you were brainwashed when you saw an old friend?"

My old friend, the choice of these three words is really subtle.When the green light turned on, Fang Mingzhan stepped on the gas pedal.His silence made Yang Tong feel anxious, but she didn't turn back, so she could only continue: "Yiyi has a good impression of you. If you spend time with her seriously, you might like her. Her father told her Your uncle is a friend, don't mess around and embarrass the two families."

When there was no response, she urged: "Did you hear that?"

Fang Mingzhan tapped the horn.

"Fang Mingzhan," Yang Tong said all the good words, and his temper turned up, "Don't forget what you promised me back then."

Fang Mingzhan was silent for a while, and said, "I haven't forgotten."
