Zero-sum game

Shen Yan only stayed with Zhou Xingchuan on the set for two days, and went back on Monday because he had to rush back to work.

The art gallery is closed on Mondays, and the rest of the days are from nine to six. His job is to receive and guide tourists.But before that, he had to memorize the introduction and history of all the works, so the first few days were quite boring.

The morning is basically time for preparation and organization, and you can take the time to memorize the manuscript, and then when there are many visitors in the afternoon, employees who are still in the internship period have to go to the door to help guide the reception.

When he got off work in the evening, he had to take home the manuscripts to be memorized, because the minister would check how they memorized the next morning.

Shen Yan had his hair cut a few days ago and put on a cultural shirt from the art museum. He looked about the same age as the college students who came here to be volunteers.He is also the kind of person who can calm down the most. He quickly recited the introduction manuscript smoothly, and he was also the fastest among the few people. So the minister asked him to follow along with some administrative work, and occasionally he would receive the curator together. show people.

The minister is a middle-aged woman who always wears professional attire. She wears impeccable makeup every morning and wears a high ponytail. She looks very strong in the workplace. She usually treats her subordinates indifferently and with a sense of distance.

After a meeting, she suddenly said to Shen Yan: "I remember you are a contract worker?"

Shen Yan, who was sorting out the materials, didn't know why she asked such a question suddenly, nodded, and replied: "Yes."

The art museum is also a public institution. Although everyone works here, they are divided into three positions: establishment post, non-staff contract worker, and volunteer. The status is also ranked from high to low.

The employees in the establishment position hold the iron rice bowl that can last for a lifetime, and usually have an average work attitude. Each family cleans the door and finishes the work in front of them.

Contract workers are similar to temporary workers hired from outside. Their salary is much worse than that of established employees. Most of them are tour guides. Their salary mainly depends on commission, which is very stressful. Therefore, except for the work that can receive commission, other jobs can be perfunctory. Just perfunctory.

About the contract workers who work with her, Shen Yan is rarely so conscientious and responsible. The minister smiled, looked him up and down, and said, "No matter how hard the contract workers work here, they will not be able to become regular."

Shen Yan was taken aback, and understood what she meant. She thought that she worked so hard because she wanted to please the leader and get a chance to become a regular.

He didn't feel offended in his heart, but smiled relievedly, and briefly explained his situation, "I dropped out of college, and I can't pass the editorial exam without a degree."

He was so calm, the minister suddenly became a little hesitant and didn't say anything.

There was such a small ripple in the work in the art museum, but there were no more waves.Shen Yan quickly took charge of the reception work, and basically talked from morning to night all day, but he was used to this rhythm in the previous lectures, and he didn't feel particularly tired.

Originally, it was not inconvenient to use the old man’s phone all the time, but after work, many things needed to be communicated online, so he changed to a smart phone, but there was nothing on it except a few necessary chat software.Occasionally, he would click in to see what Moments his colleagues had posted, or when the students in the volunteer group chatted enthusiastically.

On days off, I would take a car to Zhou Xingchuan's place.If he was filming, Shen Yan would go to the set with Mo Rui pretending to be an assistant and wait for Zhou Xingchuan to finish work.

There he met Xue Yiyang again, and this time Shen Yan signed the book as he wished, and added Xue Yiyang's WeChat.

Of course, Zhou Xingchuan got jealous again, that's another story.

After one month of filming, Zhou Xingchuan's film was finished, and Shen Yan got a spot at the finale banquet beside Mo Rui.

Watching the leading role at the table, Shen Yan sipped the champagne in the glass, while Mo Rui buried himself in the food beside him, and only picked expensive lobster and seafood to eat.

"This abalone is good, you should try it too." Mo Rui didn't forget to grab one for him.

"Thank you." Shen Yan said.

Zhou Xingchuan was talking to someone, with a smile on his face, touched the wine glass in his hand, and drank it down in one gulp.

Shen Yan frowned slightly, "Drinking so hard."

"Hmph," Mo Rui said with a laugh, "What is the most important thing in the entertainment industry? Resources, a few more drinks are nothing."

After a while, she said again: "However, Zhou Xingchuan is an exception. Who knows if he will suddenly go home and inherit the family business."

Shen Yan seemed to have thought of something, sighed almost inaudibly, and drank the remaining wine in the glass in one gulp.

Shen Yan was here, and Mo Rui was not worried that Zhou Xingchuan would not be taken care of, so he threw the drunk Zhou Xingchuan to Shen Yan, and went back to his room to sleep after eating well.

It was past midnight after the show ended, Shen Yan helped Zhou Xingchuan back to the hotel room, fortunately Zhou Xingchuan was not very drunk, but his feet were a little sloppy.

"..." After getting out of the elevator, Zhou Xingchuan suddenly whispered something.

"Huh?" Shen Yan didn't hear clearly, and asked, "What did you say?"

"Hey," Zhou Xingchuan sighed in his ear, "I said I..."

He stopped talking in the middle of the conversation, and there were other residents passing by, Shen Yan didn't go into it, and hurriedly helped him back to the room.

A few days later, the art museum took over a batch of exhibits on Buddhist classics, which were said to be collected by a private buyer. At the same time, a small charity gathering was held here.

For a while, the art museum was busy arranging exhibition halls and administrative docking, which appeared to be in a hurry.

It is not common for private buyers to borrow venues for exhibitions, because being able to collect a number of classics that can be exhibited must be either rich or expensive.Moreover, not everyone can borrow the venue of the art museum.

The minister assigned several tour guides to be responsible for the introduction of the day, among them was Shen Yan.

Shen Yan got the manuscript materials and promotional album, saw the name and appearance of the female collector on it, and suddenly felt a little familiar.

For nothing else, those eyes are too similar to Zhou Xingchuan.

Although he only met Zhou's mother briefly a few years ago, the sad eyes at that time left a deep impression on him, and he will not remember it wrong.

He picked up his mobile phone and quickly looked up the name on the album, and it was indeed correct.

He wondered if it was a coincidence.
