cannon fodder queen

Chapter 10
As long as I think of my mother, the desperate look in her eyes and the hoarse cry when she heard that I was going to enter the entertainment circle, I can't help it.I promised her that I would keep my self-discipline and stick to my bottom line, and I would not go back on what I said to her.For a moment, I regretted it, regretted my original choice, and embarked on this road of no return.Maybe I should get down to earth and find a job. Although the salary I earn is meager, at least I can feel at ease.

But it's useless to regret.

"Hey!" Qiaoqiao came out of nowhere: "Xia Wei, what are you doing, you're out of your mind." She was carrying a big bag in her hand, and she seemed to be rushing to the announcement.Before I could answer, Qiaoqiao patted me on the shoulder again: "Oh, don't worry about that. Now that it's a foregone conclusion, we can only face it. Maybe things will fade away after a while, and Ah Mo can talk about it in private." Give you some work."

I was thinking of making up some excuses to perfuse her, but now it's easy, so I changed the subject by the way: "Are you going to the announcement?"

Qiaoqiao shook the bag in her hand: "No, it's annoying to wear a three-point swimsuit for an outdoor show. But only this kind of show will find me. What can I do? Who told me not to be popular?" She With a calm tone but very helpless, he looked at his watch again: "Hey, there is still some time, why don't I treat you to ice cream, go, hurry up!" After speaking, he pulled me and ran towards the elevator.

Before I reached the elevator, I heard the "ding" of the elevator door.Qiaoqiao hurriedly quickened her pace and pulled me towards the elevator. When we saw Xu Jingying coming out of the elevator, it was too late to brake, so Qiaoqiao staggered and bumped into Xu Jingying's body.

"That's right..." Qiao Qiao's apology didn't even come out, but with a "slap", a loud slap was already slapped on my face.

I was dumbfounded at the time.

There was burning pain on her face, while thinking that Xu Jingying's slap was really ruthless, compared to her, the strength of my slap was like scratching, while thinking, the one who hit her was not me, Why did she hit me?
Qiaoqiao was also stunned, and stood there blankly, looking at me and then at Xu Jingying, unable to utter a word for a long time.On the contrary, it was Xu Jingying who gritted her teeth and said two words: "Bitch."

The word "bitch", I think it should be scolding me.These days, she has been obsessed with that piece of news, and all kinds of rumors from the draft have surfaced again.That's right, after the end of "Blossoms and Branches", they were the third runner-up but were highly praised by China Entertainment. The champion Yang Jing and the runner-up Chen Yingying seemed to have disappeared, and their fans were holding their breath, catching this godsend Even if they wanted to let go of this good opportunity, the managers of Yang Jing and Chen Yingying would not let them let go.Now, Xu Jingying is afraid that she hates me so much that her teeth itch.

I knew that I was not capable of fighting her, and what happened last time really made me lose my mind, so I pulled up my clothes and said, "Let's go." If you can't provoke me, can't you hide?

"Stop." Xu Jingying took a step forward in front of me, her little chin raised, she was already a head taller than me, so I could only see two pitch-black nostrils.Seeing this, Qiaoqiao hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, Sister Jingying, I bumped into you, and it's none of Xia Wei's business..."

Xu Jingying didn't even look at her, and pointed her finger at me: "What? Didn't you ask me to give you an explanation when you were so aggressive before? Why do you hide from me when you see me like a turtle today? Oh, I almost forgot Yes, the company has issued a notice of punishment, and you will be suspended for one year." Her voice was not loud, attracting passers-by to watch, and they all stood far away and whispered, all of them looked like they were watching the show.

I feel embarrassed.If there was a crack in the ground, I would really like to get in. Unfortunately, let alone no crack, even if there was, Xu Jingying would plug it with cement.She seized this opportunity to teach me a lesson, and of course she would not let it go. To make an example of others, her main purpose is not only me, but also to give people around her a bad impression, knowing that she, Xu Jingying, is not easy to mess with.

"Overestimate yourself, what do you think you are, dare to fight with me? Yang Jing and Chen Yingying are not my opponents. You are a small character who didn't make it to the top 20. What qualifications do you have to fight with me? Last time I watched Show, you also teamed up with that old woman Zhou Tingting to embarrass me, why, this time you were punished, why didn't that old woman come out to save the scene?" She put her hands on her chest and sneered at the corners of her mouth, there was something that made it difficult for me and other idiots to look directly at her. aura.

I replied in my heart, "Obviously you wanted to lend me to embarrass Zhou Tingting, but you were turned back. Why bother to blame me?" If I blow the wind all the time, I will most likely die without a burial, so I can only say: "It wasn't last time..."

But Xu Jingying didn't listen to my explanation at all: "No need to explain." Lin Xiawei, don't think that this is the end of the matter.I will leave my words here today, within half a month, either you will leave or I will leave. "After finishing speaking, she turned around and stepped on those twelve-inch high heels and walked away arrogantly, leaving me and Qiaoqiao standing there to receive the sympathetic attention of everyone.

"Xia Wei..." Qiaoqiao pulled my hand, very worried: "I'm sorry, I..."

I smiled wryly and shook my head: "It's none of your business, she made it clear that she was coming for me, even if you didn't bump into her, she would have an attack." Alas, it seems that I am really a villain this year.I just couldn't figure it out, it was clear that Xu Jingying took me away for the first time, I slapped her, it was justified, how could she pretend to be innocent so confidently?

I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out.

"Let's go." I pushed Qiaoqiao, "It's getting late, you can buy ice cream another day." Qiaoqiao looked at me worriedly, and finally smiled at me reluctantly, and entered the elevator.However, my mood can no longer be calm.Ah Mo's words rang in my ears like a repeater: "Xu Jingying will not let you go easily." And just now, Xu Jingying has personally confirmed Ah Mo's words.Based on what I have known about her these days, she is stubborn and arrogant, she will never give up until she achieves her goal, and she is full of scheming and tricks. When she said that she would drive me out of this circle, she absolutely meant to do what she said.

Ten years ago, the best age for a woman, especially a female artist, was only these ten years. I couldn't sit still and wait for her to ruin the most important ten years of my life!

My only lifeline right now is Zhuo Hao.Nodding his head in agreement, at least he can pass the current test and get back the role, which will make Xu Jingying feel elated.As long as I think of Xu Jingying's panic-stricken look at that time, I will laugh from the bottom of my heart.But, if I want to exchange my body for these, I really can't do it.

That night, I lay in bed with extremely complicated emotions.Not long ago, I was tossing and turning with excitement on this bed. Sometimes I would think about the script in my mind, imagine how I would perform at that time, sometimes imagine the work that would follow in the future, busy and happy myself, and sometimes I would imagine that I would go home with a lot of money and gifts and see my mother.But now, all the good things are gone.I need to make a decision, a very difficult decision.I can't resist the temptation of fame and fortune, but I can't convince myself to cross my bottom line.Nod your head, live shamelessly, live with infinite glory; shake your head, die innocently, die miserable and desolate.

I fell asleep drowsily in this panic, woke up early the next morning, washed up hastily and went out.

The place to meet Zhuo Hao was at the "Jinghu" cafe near Huayu.It is said that this cafe is decorated in a very stylish way. I have heard some big-name artists mention it several times, but I have never had time to experience the so-called style.

Because it was morning, there were not many people in the cafe.As soon as I entered the door, the waiter behind the counter asked, "You are looking for Mr. Zhuo, right? He is in the back yard." I nodded and smiled in thanks, then took a deep breath and pushed open the door to the back yard.

The backyard of "Jinghu Lake" is Jinghu Lake, the largest artificial lake in the city. It has to be said that the scenery is really beautiful.The ripples on the surface of the lake and the shade of green willows on the lakeside, if it weren't for the people sitting by the lakeside that greatly spoiled my mood, this could really be called a beautiful landscape painting.

I hesitated for a moment and walked over.

"Master Zhuo, good morning." I asked for help, and I greeted with 12 points of politeness.The surname Zhuo was looking at the scenery on the lake, but when he heard my voice, he turned his head and raised his eyebrows, showing a surprised expression.I rolled my eyes in my heart and wanted to say, "It was originally an appointment to meet, what kind of chance encounter are you pretending with this surprised expression!" However, it was just thinking about it, and I still put on a very pious smile on my face: " The weather is so nice today!"

I thought that this sentence was quite humorous and could ease the atmosphere, but the cold expression of the surname Zhuo told me that it was really just what I thought.I felt a little embarrassed, so I walked over and sat down opposite Zhuo.

"What do you want from me?" Zhuo's expression was stern, as if I was just an insignificant passer-by, which really made me wonder if this person in front of me was the person who claimed to promise to take care of me yesterday.

He's already thinking about taking care of me, so he'll be obsessed with me when he sees me, right?Of course, now is not the time to care about his attitude towards me.I exhaled lightly, and sat upright in my dantian.A Mo once told me that the most difficult thing for rich people surnamed Zhuo is the rejection of women, which hurts their self-esteem.In fact, I have also thought that if this matter gets out in the future, saying that Mr. Ren Zhuo intends to adopt an unknown sixth-tier artist but is rejected by others, it would really be a matter of embarrassment for him.

So I have to be careful.

"..." I contemplated for a while and was about to speak, but Zhuo impatiently preempted me: "Just tell me if you have anything to do, I still have business to do. I have already assigned my assistant to do the film business, and Huayu will start tomorrow." Will be notified."

When the surname Zhuo said these words, his gaze only stayed on me for a few seconds, and it was that kind of disdainful gaze.

I've seen him four times, and although he didn't have a good attitude towards me each time, he didn't give me the disdainful look he has today.Although I don't know why, this kind of look completely crushed the last trace of hesitation in my heart.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhuo. I'm here today just for this thing, that show, I don't want that anymore." When I said this, I clearly saw Zhuo's brows and eyes raised, the surprised look on my face made me I feel a little proud.But in just a few seconds, the surprised expression disappeared, Zhuo Hao leaned back on the chair, and the first smile of this morning appeared on his lips—at least the first smile in front of me—"Oh ? Are you watching another play?"

I shook my head: "No." The lake beside me was sparkling, and the willows and red carp were playing in the water. It was a peaceful scene, but I thought, I will call Mo in a while and tell him that I have turned down the show. Moreover, he rejected Zhuo Shao's "nurture", he probably has the heart to throw me into this lake and drown.

"Oh?" Zhuo's surname obviously became interested, "Then what do you want?"

"I don't want anything. Zhuo Shao, I came to you today to make it clear to you that what happened the night before yesterday was that I was drunk and talking nonsense—well, although I may have some thoughts in my heart, But, I'm sorry, Young Master Zhuo. I have my bottom line, and I can't convince myself to cross this bottom line." I paused, and took the opportunity to observe Zhuo Hao's face, only to see that he was still smiling with a smile on his face, I was slightly relieved.

I suddenly seemed to understand a little bit, probably the ugly face he gave me just now was because he regretted what happened the night before, but he was unwilling to go back on his word because of his own face, so when he heard that I was about to retreat Can't hide anymore.

Alas, Lin Xiawei, Lin Xiawei, you are still nervous and nervous, people just want you to say "NO"!So I mustered up the courage to finish the rest of the sentence: "That, that incident, let's pretend it never happened?" But before I finished speaking, I already regretted it.

Never should, never should, I shouldn't underestimate the duplicity of these dudes. A smile doesn't mean a happy agreement, it may also be a crocodile's tears.Seeing me spit out the last word "ba", the smiling face on the other side sank all of a sudden, and my heart skipped a beat, thinking, it's broken.

Zhuo Hao leaned on the sofa, staring at me with a half-smile, that expression made me a little unpredictable, and I couldn't help but feel uneasy.Just now, it was clear that he looked in a good mood, why did he seem unhappy again?His ancestors are the face-changing masters of Sichuan Opera. The face-changing is so seamless that people are caught off guard!He should be the same. Should he really become angry and let Huayu completely hide me?
"So, heroine, how is it?" He asked with a sudden smile.
