rumor

A major event about a turning point in life, one pass.

In the morning, other plays were originally arranged. The chief director, Sun Yao, saw that Jiang Ruo could not calm down for a while, and the whole person was in a state of confusion and distraction. He specially granted him a two-hour leave and asked him to eat, rest and adjust. continue.

After thanking Sun Yao, Jiang Ruo went to the dressing room and changed out of his dance clothes.

Put on the usual sweater and jeans, a simple and comfortable match. After changing, he opened the door and went out. When he saw Xi Yufeng standing at the door, he was startled for a moment, and then laughed: "Boss Xi hasn't left yet."

Xi Yufeng copied his pocket with one hand, and stood a few meters away looking at Jiang Ruo.

The cold eyes that still have no temperature, but a little more probing.Maybe it was a mistake, but if Jiang was not sure, Xi Yufeng was really hard to understand.

Lunch is organized by Zhou Dao again.

The atmosphere of the meeting was much more harmonious than last night, and Jiang Ruo could even accept flattery and compliments from others, even if it came from flattery.After the scene in the morning, there was a bit of sincerity in it.

Regarding dancing, he still has a little confidence.

Therefore, my appetite is better than yesterday. I swept half the plate of prawns and ate several pieces of pork belly.The braised beef brisket in this private restaurant is stewed so soft that Jiang Ruo couldn't hold his chopsticks, and even mixed the soup into the rice and ate it clean.

Only after eating Chinese delicacies can one feel at ease to return to the mortal world and catch up with the earth.

The producer was a woman in her thirties. Seeing that Jiang Ruo ate without restraint, she said enviously, "I heard that dancers must strictly control their weight. Why doesn't Teacher Jiang seem to gain weight?"

"No." Jiang Ruohui said, "When I was in college, I ate hot pot every day for a while, gained five catties in half a month, and didn't dare to weigh it in front of the teacher."

The intention is to say that I am not a physique that can't eat fat, but when Director Zhou listens to it, it has other meanings.

"Look, Mr. Jiang is hungry." Director Zhou pretended to be dissatisfied and questioned the production manager, "We haven't seen each other for a few days, and I've seen everyone lose weight. Usually, Mr. Jiang is not allowed to add meals?"

The production assistant is a young girl who hasn't been in the industry for long, and doesn't know what to say and what not to say: "Allowed, but Mr. Jiang is not particular, and eats the crew's boxed lunch like everyone else."

"...box lunch?"

"Yeah, it's a unified order, one meat and two vegetables, and rice is enough."

There was a moment of silence on the table.

Just as Director Zhou was trying to change the topic to turn the situation around, Xi Yufeng asked Jiang Ruo one step ahead of him, "Where's your assistant?"

"I didn't..." Jiang Ruo spoke quickly and reacted quickly, "I didn't ask him to follow."

"why?"

"I'm such a big person, I don't need others to take care of me."

President Xi's work efficiency, Jiang Ruo has experienced it before.

After a meal, when he left the restaurant, Jiang Ruo saw the assistant named Shi standing next to Xi Yufeng by the side of the road, and beside him was a girl wearing glasses.

Seeing the person coming out, Shi Mingxu stepped forward and said, "Mr. Xi, the person is here."

Xi Yufeng nodded, took a few sheets of paper that looked like a resume from a girl, flipped through them, and handed them back to Jiang Ruo.

Jiang Ruo was puzzled: "What is this? What are you doing for me?"

Xi Yufeng didn't need to explain this kind of thing, Shi Mingxu introduced: "Her name is Shen Chuxia, and Mr. Jiang can call her Xiao Shen. From today onwards, she will be Mr. Jiang's life assistant."

Even if Xi Yufeng didn't want to speak anymore, Jiang Ruo would have to pry his mouth open even with a shovel in this situation.

In front of his subordinates, Jiang Ruo smiled and asked Mr. Xi to take a step to speak, and when he came to the secluded place where there were only two people, he immediately darkened his face: "May I ask Mr. Xi what this means?"

"Send you an assistant." Xi Yufeng said.

"As I said, I don't need an assistant." Jiang Ruo said bluntly, "Besides, my relationship with you doesn't seem to be your turn to help me make this kind of decision."

Xi Yufeng looked at him: "What's the relationship between me and you?"

Asked Jiang Ruo.

What is his relationship with him?Is it the relationship of a few encounters, the relationship of going to bed once, or the relationship between the creditor and the debtor?

These are relationships that only the two of them know, but on the bright side, they are the benefactors and the lovers who are taken care of, a kind of dirty and shady relationship, but they are forced to move to the stage for everyone to treat. The relationship of laughing and talking after dinner.

The point of Jiang Ruo's discomfort is that he stands soberly from a practical standpoint and feels that Xi Yufeng's behavior is crossing the line and adding a burden to him.

And Xi Yufeng's attitude of course comes from the fact that since he has played the role of the patron, all his actions are based on this relationship, including helping Jiang Ruo get rid of gossip and arranging assistants for Jiang Ruo.

Anyway, it's all for others to see. He doesn't care what kind of relationship he has with Jiang Ruo, because it makes no difference to him.

Jiang Ruo, who had figured this out, felt discouraged by punching cotton.

After all, in front of others, Jiang Ruo quickly collected his emotions, and asked questions instead of answers: "I thought that Mr. Xi and I have already paid off the money and goods. If this is the case, don't I owe Mr. Xi another sum?"

One sentence clarified the actual relationship between the two, and even compared themselves to goods.

Xi Yufeng ignored the trivial sarcasm in Jiang Ruo's words and said: "There will still be things that need your help in the future."

Jiang Ruo raised his eyebrows: "Mr. Xi is so powerful, do you need help from others?"

More obviously, Xi Yufeng seemed to be unaware of the guns and sticks: "No one can say for sure what will happen in the future."

Perhaps it was an illusion, Jiang Ruo could see a smile from his indifferent expression.

Can't get to the bottom of it, if he really meant to make fun of it, it's hard for Jiang Ruo to guarantee that he won't get mad on the spot.

He's never been a good-tempered guy.

"Then, thank you, President Xi."

After saying thanks according to the procedure, Jiang Ruo suddenly realized that he was always saying thank you to Xi Yufeng.

It seems to have taken advantage of him a lot.

As a result, the expression on his face that had just eased up became gloomy again. He flipped through the resume in his hand, gritted his teeth and let go: "Then how much does this assistant get paid a month?"

"It's not much, I'll pay it." Xi Yufeng said, "It's the extra interest for your help."

After work in the afternoon, assistant Xiao Shen officially started work.

A very professional assistant, Jiang Ruo had just finished a scene, and Xiao Shen was waiting at the entrance of the venue with a cup in his hand, took a sip, the temperature was just right.

Jiang Ruo even had his own parasol and a deck chair under the umbrella in this spring day when the ultraviolet rays became stronger. On the table next to him were washed fruits and various snacks.

Jiang Ruo was stunned when he picked up a bag and found it was duck feet. Xiao Shen beside him took the initiative to explain: "Mr. Xi said you like duck feet. This brand has a good reputation, so I bought more on my own."

Subtle embarrassment, Jiang Ruo bit the bullet: "...Well, this brand is delicious."

Xiao Shen's ability is not limited to taking care of people.

In the middle of the afternoon, Jiang Ruo received a call from his lawyer, saying that the time for the court session had been set, and he wanted to meet and chat sometime.

Jiang Ruo was touching up her makeup and turned on the speakerphone. After hanging up the phone, Xiao Shen spoke up and said, "Ms. Jiang is in a contract termination lawsuit?"

"Yeah." Jiang Ruo said weakly, "That poor company is very troublesome."

"I know a friend who specializes in this type of lawsuit, and can help ask for precautions."

"Really?"

Xiao Shendang even called her friend, told the other party about the matter, then took out a pen and paper, and under the guidance of the other party, listed more than a dozen precautions to prevent the opponent from being tricked and prevent money from being cheated by the lawyer .

Take it over and take a look, all of them are stepping on Jiang Ruo's blind spot of knowledge, and they get to the point, every sentence is admonishment.

Faced with Jiang Ruo's heartfelt thanks, Xiao Shen smiled embarrassedly: "It's my job to solve problems for Mr. Jiang."

Jiang Ruo waved his hands again and again: "No, no, don't call me Mr. Jiang, I should call you Mr. Shen, Mr. Shen is an all-around talent, it's too wronged to stay beside me."

"Actually, there is no difference." Xiao Shen pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, "Big-name celebrities have a lot of schedules, and they often don't have a rest for days and nights when they are busy, and the treatment here is good. It is my honor to be able to follow Teacher Jiang."

Jiang Ruo: "..."

Yes, a real person.

There is a rain show tonight.

The spring in Fengcheng is already cool in the morning and evening, as long as the artificial rain has been poured, Jiang Ruo has been drenched for as long.During the play, Jiang Ruo was shivering from the cold, Xiao Shen wrapped her head to toe in a thick blanket and stuffed a hot water bottle into her arms, and it took a long time before she recovered.

Tang Jianian was also there in this scene, but she was standing under the eaves, so she didn't get soaked.

As the end of work was approaching, the staff on site cleaned up, cleaned, and were busy with each other, which made it more convenient for the young couple to sneak in and make out in the dense night.

Jiang Ruo was wrapped in a blanket, standing in a corner sheltered from the wind, looking at a tighter corner not far away, under the cover of bushes, Su Yi, the third male lead in "Ying Fei", held Tang Jianian's hand, and was pulled Open it, and pull it persistently.

The strong girl was afraid of pestering her husband, so after repeated several times, Tang Jianian followed him, and the two of them squeezed their heads together, probably whispering that you miss me and I miss you.

Back in the dressing room, Jiang Ruo first took off the clothes that were sticking to his body, and someone knocked on the door lightly.

"Teacher Jiang, are you in there?"

It's Xiao Shen.

Jiang Ruo responded.

"President Xi is leaving." Xiao Shen lowered his voice to ensure that only the people in the room could hear, "Do you want to see Teacher Jiang off?"

"...He hasn't left yet?"

"Assistant Shi said that Mr. Xi had a discussion with the producer in the afternoon and a social meeting in the evening, which just ended."

This is not surprising, after all, Xi Yufeng is like a walking treasury, an investor with a strong family background, and new to the entertainment industry, must be the target of the major producers.

Jiang Ruo was silent for a while: "Do I have to go see him off?"

The people outside the door also paused, and in the end just do their job as assistants: "Then I'll go and reply—"

Before Xiao Shen could finish speaking, the door suddenly opened from the inside.

Jiang Ruo put the coat on his body casually, and asked a little irritably, "Where is he?"

The person was naturally outside the shooting location, and seeing the black commercial vehicle parked on the side of the road from a distance, Jiang Ruo couldn't help but quicken his pace.

But it stopped a dozen meters away.

In front of the car, besides Xi Yufeng, there is also a tall woman standing.The two stood in front of the car and talked, with a social distance of about two meters between them. It didn't seem like they had an appointment here, but they met by chance.

Jiang Ruo swears that he doesn't have a habit of listening to the wall. Could it be possible that he should cover his ears and refuse to listen to the conversations sent to his ears?

However, he didn't hear anything important. He came at an unfortunate time, and the chat between the two of them had come to an end.

Jiang Ruo heard the woman say, "I still can't believe that Mr. Xi would come to such a place for a young actor."

Xi Yufeng said: "If I were the old self, I wouldn't believe it."

"Really fascinated by him?"

"Ah."

"How obsessed?"

Perhaps because of the invisible expression, the voice that fell into my ears had a dangerous sense of reality.

It seems that every sentence comes from the heart, and there is no deception.

Jiang Ruo suddenly wanted to cover his ears and not listen, but it was too late.

He heard Xi Yufeng say: "Being fascinated, does it count?"

It wasn't until the sound of high-heeled shoes stepping on the ground disappeared that Jiang Ruo matched her face with her name—the woman talking to Xi Yufeng was named Zhou Xinyao, and she was filming in the crew next door.

Not long ago, he just learned from Lin Xiao that this actress, who became a second-tier actress with a movie, is a rising star that Xi Yufeng has single-handedly picked up.

His thoughts were confused, and Jiang Ruo was not sure of his current situation for a while.

For no reason, he developed an evasive mentality, and as soon as he turned around, he was frozen in place by a cold voice.

"Dancer," Xi Yufeng called him from behind, "listening to the wall is not a good habit."

Jiang Ruo felt his ears burn, but he couldn't tell whether it was because of the shame of being caught or because of the exaggerated name.

When he turned around, he had calmed down his embarrassment.

"I don't want to hear it." Jiang Ruo said, "You guys are too loud."

"So, you sneak away."

Not a question, but a statement.

But what is stealing?

Jiang Ruo couldn't help frowning: "You are leaving, why am I still here?" He suddenly remembered the purpose of this trip, raised his hand and waved it a few times, "See you, Mr. Xi, walk slowly."

A perfunctory attitude of being stepped on against the scales and forced to vent under some kind of pressure is extremely real.

Xi Yufeng felt a rare sense of relief, and blurted out somewhat casually: "So you want me to go?"

Jiang Ruo froze for a moment, a voice in his heart asked—do you want him to leave?

Do you really want to?

What do you think?What if you don't want to?

He stood more than ten meters away, looking at Xi Yufeng who was not far away with an indifferent expression, he only felt that the distance between them was so far.

Suddenly, he recalled what he planned to remind Tang Jianian after enlightening Tang Jianian that day——

I heard that Su Yi was born in a poor family, and he was able to climb to this position in just two years. He must not be a silly, white and sweet boy in the packaging.You and him are not in the same class, and there is a natural distance. If he is obedient or even flattering to you, don't rush to invest in it. It's better to consider how sincere he is.

At that time, Jiang Ruo swallowed his words because he was suspected of sowing dissension, but now it seems that he should remind himself first——

There is a natural distance between you and him, if you obey him, how will he guess your intentions?

So he subconsciously disobeyed and refused to please, in order to fight for the possibility of not being speculated, or in other words, in order to keep the little self-esteem that he thought had been exhausted, but actually remained.

Jiang Ruo, who had figured it out, let out a breath.

It's not that I feel frustrated because I see through myself, but I find that the distance is too far, like a chasm in the sky.

But he was leaving again.

will get farther.

At this moment, Jiang Ruo gave birth to the same courage as that deviant night, a kind of unwillingness to try to win.

It doesn't matter whether you are regarded as a prey to be rounded up by the other party, or a toy that anyone can tease at will.

He wanted to shorten the distance.

So Xi Yufeng saw the person who was avoiding him, walking towards him step by step, and stopped less than half a meter in front of him.

It was close enough to see Jiang Ruobai's almost transparent skin and the shadow in his pupils trembling with his breathing by the light of the street lamp.

"I said no, can you not leave?"

It was an obvious question, but Jiang Ruo didn't expect to hear the answer. After asking, he took a half step forward and leaned up to Xi Hefeng's ear.

It seems to be a preview - the next sentence is the key point.

But Xi Yufeng only paused for a moment, and missed the best time to avoid it.

The first thing to be received by the senses is the warm breath that brushes lightly like a feather, followed by the itching caused by the hair tip brushing against the cheek.

On a spring night in Fengcheng, the air is filled with humidity.

"Also, I reminded Mr. Xi last time, don't say what you can't do easily."

Jiang Ruo narrowed his eyes, put his hands on Xi Yufeng's shoulders for strength, and lightly rubbed his lips against his cool ears.

He copied his unintentional tone, but prolonged every word, showing a kind of sloppy innocence: "I'm stupid, I will take it seriously."

It is said that "Xi and Feng are fascinated by Jiang Ruo", this seems to be a fantasy but it is not impossible.
