Chapter 457 Heartbreak Moment
Chu Qingmian was holding the unfinished glass of meteorite latte, huddled on the sofa in the lounge, nervously staring at the hands of the wall clock.
The eldest lady, who is addicted to sugar, drank such a bitter latte for the first time in her life, and her facial features wrinkled together.
This is why she hasn’t finished drinking a cup of coffee since the recording of the show.
If I felt resistant and nervous about this meeting at first, now I feel a little more anxious.
Because I just received news from Su Chengyi.
A very simple sentence:
"Miss Chu plays the piano very well."
The mentality of the young lady who has always been good at fishing quickly changed from "can drag "It's just a while" changed to "Forget it, the long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain."
I have been feeling very uneasy because of this incident for the past few days. What Chu Qingmian hopes most is to complain to Su Chengyi coquettishly.
But because she was worried that she wouldn't have time to reply to his message when they discussed the matter later, she had to endure it for the time being.
Since Su Chengyi said this, it means that he watched the live broadcast just now.
Thinking of this, Chu Qingmian's mood improved inexplicably, and it seemed that even the coffee in her hand was no longer so bitter.
This is really amazing!
Things that were originally thought to be difficult to face, only need someone's light words to make people feel as if they have enough courage again.
"Ding bell bell~"
The timer rang, which meant that there was only the last minute left before the agreed time.
Chu Qingmian, who was paralyzed on the sofa, immediately got up and sat down, clearing her throat several times.
Relax, relax, get it done quickly, talking to Su Chengyi is the most important thing!
Chu Qingmian was brainwashing herself repeatedly when someone knocked politely at the door.
"Please cough - come in!"
It's bad, I just cleared my throat and it got coughed! !
Chu Qingmian stuck out her tongue and stood up again.
The assistant in charge of leading people opened the door and bowed slightly.
"Miss Iris, please come in."
"Thank you."
Chen Jinzhi nodded slightly and walked in sideways.
The assistant immediately closed the door knowingly to avoid disturbing the two people's discussion.
"Um, classmate Chen Jinzhi, take a seat."
After officially starting work, Chu Qingmian rarely had the opportunity to entertain guests in person, and she seemed a little embarrassed for a while.
"Okay, thank you."
Chen Jinzhi seemed much more natural. She pulled out her chair and sat down, folding her hands on the table, leaning forward slightly, with an easy-going attitude.
"Don't be nervous. My assistant has already roughly told me what we are going to talk about today."
She took the initiative to speak.
Chu Qingmian said "ah" and nodded quickly.
"That's right."
"However, it is inevitable that there are some inconsistencies in what others have reported.
So I would like to trouble Mr. Xiao Chu to explain it in person."
Chen Jinzhi could see her embarrassment and simply brought the topic to her area of expertise.
“Okay.”
Chu Qingmian took a breath and tried her best to adjust herself to working condition.
“Today’s private invitation is not just my wish. All the staff of Xingxing Entertainment are looking forward to your joining.
As a newly established entertainment company, we need to be like An artist like you, who is popular and topical, and who is strong enough in your own right, can serve as the company's signature artist and create a 'leader' effect.
Since there is such a demand, we will definitely be on your side. We will provide relative resources and full support.
Regarding this, I can make a commitment here on behalf of Xingxing Entertainment.
If you have doubts about the validity of the verbal agreement, it will be reflected in the contract signed later. ”
After Chu Qingmian entered Mr. Chu’s state, he was obviously much calmer, his speech was neither urgent nor slow, and his words were very logical.
But after all, he was an old acquaintance in front of him. She still wasn't in her usual negotiating posture.
Chen Jinzhi tilted his head slightly, listened to her quietly, and nodded in response from time to time.
"The reason why I took the liberty to propose this invitation to you, to be honest, is that during this period. The public opinion storm that occurred can also be regarded as a trigger.
Because we, um, because I know it is a rumor, so I don’t understand the way 101 Company handled this incident.
Not only did he not stand on the side of his own artist, but he joined forces with outsiders to backstab him, which is really shocking. "
Chu Qingmian pursed her lips, the disgust in her tone was palpable.
Chen Jinzhi wanted to laugh when he heard this, and nodded "Yeah".
She With this smile, Chu Qingmian's work status, which she finally returned to, was in jeopardy. She felt that she was not here to talk about work but to coax her children.
"As the old saying goes, good birds choose trees to roost. Since we have the ability to shine on a better platform, how can we waste our time in such a quagmire?
So, since our cooperation will bring about win-win results , then why not?”
Chu Qingmian said the last sentence in one breath, and immediately slumped on the table like a deflated ball, eagerly waiting for her answer.
Chen Jinzhi looked into her eyes, pondered for a long time, and then said:
"Actually, even if Mr. Xiao Chu doesn't ask to see me today, I will take the initiative to come and find trouble."
"Why?"
Chu Qingmian was stunned and asked subconsciously.
"Many things happened before, and I haven't even had time to formally thank you."
Chen Jinzhi blinked and sounded sincere.
“You voted for me on the show before and spoke for me despite the public opinion storm. I have always been very grateful.”
"It's nothing. I'm just doing what I should do."
Chu Qingmian's face felt hot and she quickly shook her head.
"Thank you. Whether you are standing in the position of class monitor or Mr. Chu, I am very touched by this."
Chen Jinzhi spoke very quickly Slowly, every word is sincere.
So Chu Qingmian's "No need to lift a finger" stuck in his mouth and he couldn't say it out, and finally had to change it into:
"Yes, I know."
Chen Jinzhi smiled and suddenly changed the subject:
"But, I'm sorry about the signing."
" Huh? ”
Chu Qingmian was confused and didn’t react.
I thought that after the thank you session, we should have signed the contract hand in hand and had a happy cooperation!
"The kindness of the class monitor has always been pure, and I don't want it to be tainted with the atmosphere of capital."
Chen Jinzhi smiled and looked serious. "But."
"There will be a long time to come, and we will have many opportunities to meet again. In my past understanding, the most fragile and easily broken thing is the relationship between the company and the company. Artists such a partnership
So if possible, I would rather become friends with Mr. Xiao Chu than business partners. "
Chen Jinzhi's words seemed to make some sense, but Chu Qingmian felt that something was wrong for some reason, but for a moment she didn't know how to refute.
"I know Xiao Chu They always make offers to me because they value my business value. This is only a small part of the reason. The bigger part is because they feel that I cannot be cheated and bullied in a place like 101 Company.
Please rest assured, Mr. Xiao Chu, that staying in such a company is just a temporary measure, and this situation will probably never happen again in the future.
Sooner or later we will meet at a higher place. Perhaps until that day, I will have more confidence and confidence to accept Mr. Chu’s invitation. ”
Chen Jinzhi pulled out his chair and stood up, leaning slightly and reaching out to Chu Qingmian.
"Okay?"
"Okay."
Chu Qingmian was stunned by her success and held her hand blankly.
The palms of his hands were warm, and Chen Jinzhi curled his eyebrows.
"See you next time."
I got over it.
Chu Qingmian and his assistant left first. Chen Jinzhi looked at the glass of meteorite latte left on the table and thought quietly.
This latte was originally prepared for someone who hates sweets.
Chen Jinzhi leaned on the table and closed his eyes as if he was tired.
No one else would necessarily believe the reason just given. Fortunately, the other person is such a simple and kind person.
The truth is not that complicated, but it is just.
Chen Jinzhi turned on the screen of his mobile phone and looked at the unread message.
"I saw the live broadcast, when will it end? I'll pick you up from get off work."
If such a cooperation is really reached, this person may have either arrhythmia or high blood pressure.
Even the quick heart-saving pills are not enough.
Chen Jinzhi put his finger on the screen and stayed there for a long time, but there was still no reply.
She took the half-full coffee cup and threw it into the trash can, then got up and left the lounge.
After the recording of the interview program ended, the entire venue was empty except for a few cleaning ladies who were busy.
Lulu had been given leave in advance before coming to the appointment. Chen Jinzhi was walking in the corridor alone, and as usual, began to review today's schedule in his mind.
This is her habit. When she can free her mind, she will check everything she did today in detail.
Whether there are any flaws in the process; whether there are any wrong judgments in necessary choices; from the perspective of a third party, whether there is a better and more appropriate solution in the answers she gave to others.
If Su Chengyi knew about it, he would definitely complain about why he had to do such a tiring thing?
But for Chen Jinzhi, he has long been used to it.
She needs to constantly summarize and think about everything that happened in order to better maintain the perfect side she wants to show to others.
Sometimes it is even accurate to the tone of a certain sentence or the use of a certain vocabulary.
Many times she feels like an intelligent robot that follows a program, but recently, there have been more and more bugs in the program.
Just like now, she can't think of which solution is the best, whether from her own perspective or from a third party's perspective.
In other words, she really couldn't figure out what she was thinking.
In the silent corridor, Chen Jinzhi's steps were so light that the sounds around the corner could reach her ears so clearly.
"Humph~ I knew you weren't so kind! You just sent a message just to laugh at me, right?"
The person who was on the phone obviously didn't realize that someone was coming over on the other side, and was very happily immersed in this. A call is in progress.
Chen Jinzhi lowered his eyes and slowly stopped.
"Oh! It's not like I'm going to answer stupid questions like that. They're all scripts, scripts! Ben! Su Chengyi, if you laugh again, I'll bring you over to join us next time!"
< br>"How do I introduce it? Why don't you just say that you are my little follower~ If it doesn't work, I can always follow the leader of the follower and give you a promotion. Do you think I am generous or not?"
"But why did you think of watching the live broadcast today? Humph, veteran cadres still know that surfing is really shocking. Su Chengyi, you are not allowed to talk to me in this tone! What do you mean you can watch it if you want to!"
< br>Chu Qingmian squatted on the ground, smiling and talking on the phone.
A group of assistants and bodyguards stood upright beside her, watching her ears, nose, nose and heart, waiting for her to finish the phone call.
"How do you know that I want to ask you when to return to Tang'an? It's better to choose a day, otherwise it will be tomorrow!
First of all, a solemn statement! I just want to go back to eat It’s hotpot, I don’t want to see you.”
"I also want you to pick me up first. I will book a flight for you now. Otherwise, it will be boring for me to fly alone. You, Qiuqiu, you, Qiuqiu, you, Qiuqiu, can't you!"
The girl's tone is coquettish, with a hint of coquettishness and attachment that can only be expressed when speaking to a lover.
Every word is as sweet as honey.
Chen Jinzhi leaned against the wall and gently covered his heart.
Only at this time can we realize that the internal organs of human beings are really connected. It is hard to tell which part is wrong, which can cause such pain that radiates throughout the body. The pain is so painful that it makes people want to Squat down.
There seemed to be a fishy smell of blood in his breath. Chen Jinzhi frowned and clearly felt that his whole body was trembling.
The deception and lies she had always held against her heart were suddenly and bloodyly revealed at this moment. She could already see that reason was standing on the opposite side of emotion, admiring her condescendingly with a mocking face. The embarrassed look at this time.
Why, the lie that she finally concocted should be above reality, but reality always cruelly pulls her out of the short-term tranquility.
She is not allowed to be happy for a moment, and she is not allowed to have a good sleep.
I don’t know how long the pain that makes people dizzy lasted until those playful words between lovers gradually faded away, until the surroundings became quiet again.
Listening to his own heartbeat, Chen Jinzhi's eyes became hazy, and it took a long time for his eyes to focus again.
How long will she stay like this?
No one here could give her an answer, so Chen Jinzhi heard his own voice murmuring:
Wait a little longer, I'll wait a little longer.
Even if it is the worst ending, she can only wait like this.
Maybe she could get used to it before, and maybe next time it wouldn't be as unbearable as this time.
Obviously nothing happened, but she seemed to be struggling in the tide, almost forgetting how people breathe.
So she didn’t remember how she got to the exit of the underground garage. She only remembered that when she tried her best to push open the plastic door curtain, someone stood far away and shouted at her.
"Chen Jinzhi!"
Chen Jinzhi raised his eyes and saw Su Chengyi leaning against the car door. He was wearing a burgundy baseball cap and holding a fat blue and white cat in his arms.
When they looked at each other, he lowered his head slightly, as if he was a little embarrassed. He just raised the cat a little higher with both hands, as if offering a treasure, and then said with a smile:
"Gift after get off work."
Neco is very He gave a cooperative "meow", which showed that he and the cat seemed to have established a good relationship.
Chen Jinzhi stood quietly. She didn't have the energy to check whether she was smiling.
I just feel that a heart that has been broken thousands of times really doesn’t have a long memory, and it actually wants to give others another chance to break it and crush it.
