I'm afraid I'm not interested in love

Chapter 381 Love must be open and honest
Chu Qingmian didn't like to catch early morning flights.

She likes to look at the soft rolling clouds like cotton candy, likes the warmth of the sun passing through the plane window, and likes to quietly read an artistic and pretentious novel in this kind of light.

Flying at night can become boring and dull. The moon is rarely visible in the dark sky, and the rumbling sound of flying becomes noisy and disturbing in such an environment.

The more there is no network, the more I want to go online. In the same way, the more I want to call someone when there is no signal.

With such a night machine, there is no way to pass the time except curling up and taking a nap.

But last night, she resolutely asked her assistant to help book the nearest flight ticket.

Originally, Miss Chu was in a good mood after watching the program "I am the Masked Singer".

Everyone performed well and, aside from everything else, this game was worth the price of admission.

Justin from his own company, familiar veteran singers, new singer-songwriter Vivian and Chen Jinzhi.

Chu Qingmian thought about how to call her.

But Chu Yuanjiang seemed to be really reminiscing with his old classmates. He made the best Longjing tea himself and spared precious time to talk to him.

I originally thought that he would definitely receive some cold treatment, but I didn't expect that the other party had no airs at all and received him immediately.

“This list is currently part of the list we plan to invite after considering the popularity and overall strength.

At that time, the director felt that this person would definitely become famous in the future, even though his family background at that time was ordinary, even poor.

She did invest money in the show, but this does not mean that she has any feelings for the show, nor does it mean that she wants to become a community in some sense with the show.

Hong Mao didn't remember this incident at all. He drank hot tea and Noonuo said so.

He and her father, Chu Yuanjiang, were indeed old classmates, but their relationship could not be said to be good. He was unknown at that time and was busy studying.

As one of the show's most important investors, of course she had known for a long time that Chen Jinzhi was coming to participate.

The chief director was a little worried, and the more he spoke, the less confident he was.

To be honest, Hong Mao almost wanted to cry for a moment.

Those who engage in art tend to have a high self-esteem and feel that their talents are not appreciated, while the old classmate can only make money because he can take off Kong Yiji's robe and relax his figure.

This eldest lady has an easy-going and kind-hearted nature in private, but during working hours, she suddenly becomes cold and serious, with a temperament that repels people thousands of miles away.

Chu Yuanjiang's words made Hong Mao think he was sarcastic, and he was so embarrassed that he almost broke into a cold sweat. Unexpectedly, his next sentence was:
"Maoko, I have seen the movie "Block Tower" you shot, and I like it very much. Just so I have a project here. Everything is ready, but I just need a good director. I wonder if you have time to try it?"

In other words, Chu Qingmian even had veto power in this resolution.

So when the chief director came to ask for her opinion with the list, Chu Qingmian resisted, but she saw a familiar name under the "Selected List of Singers for Kick-Off".

"If you think it's inappropriate to invite such a traffic idol, you can delete it immediately."

Boss Chu has a lot to do, but he actually saw his works that no one cared about and was willing to give him a chance.

However, the more he behaved like this, the less Hong Mao could ask for help.

Director Hong was actually very nervous. He didn't expect that Chu Yuanjiang would still remember him. He was so impoverished and his behavior was no less than coming to fight against the autumn wind.

Chu Yuanjiang was already outstanding in middle school and was a typical campus figure.

Oops, wouldn't it be a bit too old-fashioned to talk about old classmates? They are not that old at all.

Unexpectedly, Chu Yuanjiang poured him a cup of tea and took the initiative to recall the past with a smile.

His grades were not great, but his interpersonal relationships were excellent. He was able to get along anywhere. His teachers and classmates all praised him when they mentioned him. He was unanimously approved every year when he ran for class president.

Seeing that she seemed interested in the name, the chief director immediately continued:

"Hey, there are vases that are both attractive and useless. Every show has to have one or two, right?"

The chief director of the show paid a little too much attention to her. Of course, this was obviously for the sake of her father.

It is hard not to say that this is a natural business acumen, and it also has something to do with the social talent of talking to people and telling ghosts.

Part of the reason why I decided to invest was because I thought this show would definitely be popular, and part of the reason was also because it was for my dad’s sake.

After graduating from high school, he wasted his time in 211 University, while Chu Yuanjiang got an ordinary undergraduate degree, started a business while going to school, and became a leading financial giant in the industry in just a few years.

"After graduation, I have been doing some small business. Hey, I don't have any ideals. You are better at doing literary and artistic creation!"

Of course, the details haven’t been decided yet. "

Iris (real name: Chen Jinzhi), an artist under 101 Company.

The eldest lady in front of her lowered her eyes, her expression was reserved, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

For a moment, I was so grateful that I couldn't even say it out.

So Hong Mao, the director of literary films, officially announced his transformation and went to film the variety show project provided by Chu Yuanjiang. From then on, he became an instant hit and made a lot of money.

"Hey, time is not forgiving. Do you remember? There was an English test, and you gave me the answers. I was lucky to have you that time, otherwise I would have been beaten up by my dad when I got home."

This is true.

But after being beaten by reality for ten years, he was desperate and contacted Chu Yuanjiang with the intention of giving it a try.

However, Chu Qingmian had no intention of accepting this right. She kept herself and the show very separate.

It was not an easy road for the director after he graduated, and he encountered obstacles along the way. But at this time, the old classmate was rising all the way up.

What surprised the director most was that as soon as Chu Yuanjiang saw him, he stood up and came over to shake hands. His first words were:
"Hong Mao! Long time no see, long time no see."

This is the friendship between classmates and the kindness of knowing each other.

Therefore, Hong Mao treated Chu Yuanjiang's beloved daughter with even more respect, without any airs of a famous director.

Chu Qingmian didn't know this level. After all, the version Chu Yuanjiang told her was that the two of them had to wear a pair of pants when they were in middle school.

But she didn't believe even a single punctuation mark.

According to Chu Yuanjiang, he had to wear the same pair of pants with at least 20 people during middle school!
My father is a truly gifted businessman. There is probably no one in the world who knows investment better than him.

If Hong Mao told her this touching past event, she would immediately be able to expose the lies inside.

Hong Mao didn't remember passing on the answer not because he was forgetful, but because it never happened.

Chu Yuanjiang told this old classmate today to tell him the answer, and tomorrow he might tell another old classmate to skip class and surf the Internet.

Anyway, just saying it casually.

And the subsequent claims that I have seen the works directed by him are also lies.

Chu Yuanjiang is so busy every day, how can he have time to watch a literary film that has less than 1000 viewers and a Douban score of 5.4?

He probably just searched Hong Mao's name online during the minute he took the elevator upstairs.

That's it.

And that timely project was just the most inconspicuous one among the many things Boss Chu had to deal with every day.

If you leave it to an acquaintance to do it, it will be good if it becomes popular. If you pounce on it, it will be pounced. The loss can be ignored for him.

Unexpectedly, Hong Mao was grateful to him for lending a helping hand and tried his best to seize the opportunity, thus actually making a comeback. This is something to be said later.

Therefore, in the vanity fair, profit comes first. This is the truth that Chu Yuanjiang taught him by words and deeds as his only heir.

But Chu Qingmian felt that she couldn't be as ruthless as him, at least she couldn't treat interpersonal communication as an investment.

So when she saw the name of her old classmate, her first reaction was to defend herself.

Even though I have seen such heartbreaking scenes.

"Director Hong, I have no intention of interfering with your program, and naturally I have no objection to the selection of the program team."

Chu Qingmian put the list back on the coffee table, her expression unchanged.

Hong Mao felt relieved and was about to speak when she spoke again:

"However, since you have independently drawn up the selection list, should you maintain basic respect for the players?"

Hong Mao suddenly thought to himself that something was wrong, and realized that he was speaking without thinking.

"Well, no, Miss Chu, you may have misunderstood."

Chu Qingmian was always well-educated, but this time she interrupted him directly.

"In addition, I happened to have heard that the program team temporarily changed Miss Chen Jinzhi's status as a resident singer to a contestant. This already involves the issue of business integrity." She looked at Hong Mao calmly, her eyes There is no temperature inside.

"If this is your attitude towards the contestants as a program official, then I think Xingxing Entertainment may need to reconsider whether to continue its cooperation with you."

After the words fell, she stood up gracefully.

Hong Mao quickly followed, pouring out the explanations and apologies he had compiled in a hurry.

Chu Qingmian had no interest in continuing the conversation, so she sat in the Rolls Royce waiting outside the door and left.

She maintained her last courtesy and waved goodbye before the car window closed.

When Hong Mao saw the taillights of the Rolls-Royce disappear, he suddenly dragged his heavy steps back to the office like a deflated rubber ball.

At this moment, the assistant pushed open the door and handed the damn list to him again.

"Director Hong, 101 Company said they have no objection to the order of the singers' appearances. So, should we continue to move Chen Jinzhi to the back?"

"Shut up!"

Hong Mao turned over the documents on the table.

The assistant was startled and didn't know what he said wrongly.

After all, the program team has always had a very contemptuous attitude towards 101 Company.

Hong Mao took a deep breath and pressed his temples.

"Keeping the current arrangement, Chen Jinzhi will appear in the second episode. In addition, we will increase the promotion of the singers who are kicking the club.

Change the process settings so that the kicking singer appears at the last vantage point.

At the same time, the qualification for the resurrection match will be increased. If the kick-off fails, there will be a return performance and a later resurrection match. "

The assistant didn't dare to express his anger, and wrote "shushushushu" in his notebook, not knowing how serious it was.

Perhaps it was because the last meeting was so unpleasant that Director Hong insisted on organizing such a dinner after the second episode.

There was a circle of people sitting at the huge round table, and each one of them looked like a sailor invited by Director Hong.

Everyone's task is to give Chu Qingmian a rainbow fart from various angles.

The round table rotated automatically. Chu Qingmian stared at the plate of golden cakes for a long time. Finally, she picked up the chopsticks and wanted to pick them up. Someone stood up respectfully with a wine glass in hand:

"As expected, a tiger father has a dog daughter. Miss Chu is so radiant and worthy of being the apple of her eye!"

Chu Qingmian was so embarrassed that she wanted to get under the table, but she could only keep smiling and return the favor with a glass of wine.

After finally getting over this scene, Director Hong stood up with a red face and called on everyone to clink glasses together.

"Hong would be very grateful that Miss Chu can come to the banquet today! Come, let's all give Miss Chu a drink!"

Chu Qingmian felt very aggrieved when she looked at the golden cake that was already cold and had expired.

The even scarier thing is that Director Hong also revealed tomorrow's itinerary at the dinner table. He planned to invite Chu Qingmian to play golf.

Chu Qingmian asked her assistant to book a flight ticket and run away overnight.

While sitting in the cabin, bored, she couldn't help but recall things about Chen Jinzhi.

Although she and I were old classmates, we no longer had any contact after graduation.

Chen Jinzhi is different from other classmates. She transferred here in the second semester of her senior year of high school. She is an art student and did not even take the final college entrance examination.

Therefore, her contact with the class group was actually very weak, and she quickly disappeared from the class group after graduation.

Throughout the semester, the communication between Chu Qingmian and her only stopped at the time when they distributed test papers and collected homework:
"It's yours, classmate~"

"Okay, thank you."

Chen Jinzhi's tone when he spoke to her was like coaxing a child, very gentle.

But because of this, the squad leader, who was always sociable, didn't know how to make friends with her.

Logically speaking, as a monitor, you should take good care of your new classmates, but Chen Jinzhi does not have the usual restraint and shyness of newcomers. On the contrary, she always handles it with ease.

So the squad leader didn't even have a chance to help.

Chu Qingmian thought, there is still time anyway, let’s find another opportunity next time!
After thinking about it like this, I graduated.

A scene like that on the rooftop ushered in.

The reason why Chu Qingmian felt so heartbroken was actually because Chen Jinzhi was so perfect. She felt that no one in the world would reject Chen Jinzhi.

If she were a boy, she would definitely like that type too.

Not a arrogant, petty, jealous, bad-tempered guy who is always making trouble.

But later, Su Chengyi said that it was a misunderstanding.

Chu Qingmian's first reaction was that he was so brave and lacked vision, but more than anything, she was actually grateful.

Fortunately, maybe it's because her love lasts longer.

Other than that, I can't think of any other reason.

If Su Chengyi had chosen to be with Chen Jinzhi at that time, she would probably have quietly quit.

Miss Chu is still proud at heart. She doesn't want to put herself in a pitiful situation, so at least she has to take the initiative to make such a choice.

It is precisely because of this pride that she will not only think about love affairs when she sees Chen Jinzhi because of this past, let alone target and defend her as a love rival.

The past is past, Chu Qingmian sincerely hopes that everyone can live well.

"Mercury" sounds great, and Mercury is beautiful on stage, so her vote went to her without hesitation.

Chu Qingmian thought that she should not become a profit-oriented person, and her love should also be frank.

It was already night when I saw Su Chengyi.

He was wearing a mask, not playing with his mobile phone, and just stood quietly under the appointed camphor tree.

It was time for evening classes, and people passed by one after another. Their eyes met briefly through the crowd, and he nodded slightly.

Chu Qingmian laughed, stepped down the stone steps quickly, walked through the crowd and ran to him.

She stood up on tiptoes and hugged his neck. Su Chengyi lowered his eyes and wrapped his arms around her slim waist.

"Why don't you call me to urge me? It's been a long time."

As Chu Qingmian spoke, she reached out to pull the string of his mask, pretending to be dissatisfied and said:

"Are you a male celebrity? You still wear a mask when you see me! It's weird!"

Su Chengyi said nothing and let her move.

He knew that the first thing the eldest lady would do when she saw him was to take off her mask.

Chu Qingmian's smile froze when she saw the wound on his chin.

It was deliberately unprocessed, so it still had blood stains on it, and it looked like a bloodstain.

Su Chengyi watched her beautiful pupils gradually become panicked, and explained:

"I scratched it accidentally."

"why."

Chu Qingmian frowned in worry, and a layer of mist quickly formed in her eyes.

She reached out and touched the wound lightly, then immediately retracted her finger and asked in a low voice:

"Does it hurt?"

Logically speaking, she should have said it hurt at this time, but Su Chengyi couldn't act anymore when she looked at her like this.

"It doesn't hurt, it's okay. It was scratched by the razor."

His Adam's apple rolled unnaturally, and he reached out to pull the mask back on.

Being closer to the north, the feeling of guilt is stronger than imagined.
