They did not arrive in Beijing until one o'clock in the afternoon because of the delay of the plane.
Zhong Zhen called for a car to go to the management company first. Gu Yi seemed to have other plans for the next few days.
Xia Ying didn't have any objections, but Zhong Zhen had already made up his mind. No matter what, he wouldn't let Xia Ying attend any more events within a week. Though it didn't seem to be his little assistant's decision to make.
After arriving at the brokerage firm, Xia Ying directly went to the director's office. After an eyesore of pleasantries, Gu Yi arrived late and the three of them discussed about their work matters. Zhong Zhen stood to the side with Xia Ying's bag in her hand.
"A movie?" Xia Ying took the script in front of him, and frowned: "I don't have any intention of entering the TV screen, let's just forget about the movie invitation."
How can I say that? In the end, the fashion industry can't compare to the entertainment industry in allowing a person's reputation to spread faster, and this director is also a famous master from overseas, he took a fancy to you at first glance when he came to the Mainland. This is a good thing for the company, but other people can't even catch up with him, so how can you be in a rush to refuse?
The director had an expression of "selling insurance" as he pulled Xia Ying's hand and said a bunch of good words.
Zhong Zhen gritted his teeth as he stared at his opponent's hands. Luckily, Xia Ying had removed his own hands and said softly, "Director, I told you from the beginning that I had no intention of entering the entertainment circle. It's not like there weren't any related invitations in the past, and Gu Yi had already rejected them on my behalf, so why are you bringing it up now? "
Before the director had a chance to speak, Gu Yi had already said: "It's different this time, it's indeed a rare opportunity. I've seen the screenplay. The role that you've been assigned to act is very special. Once the movie is released, your popularity will definitely rise to another level. "
"I refuse." Xia Ying set her face.
The director also had an ugly expression on his face.
Seeing that they were at loggerheads, Zhong Zhen said, "Isn't filming difficult? Do you know that Teacher Xia fainted from exhaustion at Shanghai MAX Exhibition yesterday?"
Xia Ying did not say anything, she knew that Gu Yi would not be unconscious twice, and because his body did not permit it, he could only refuse the invitation.
But the director said with a smile, "It's okay, it's still a distance from the start of the computer. During this period of time, any work has to be done and you should get some rest. "In any case, she's not the female lead, at most she'll be killed in a month."
The director was very stubborn about the invitation, but Xia Ying was very loyal to her principles, she would not bid for the invitation even if she wanted to, she would not bid for it even if she was beaten to death.
The director's face darkened instantly, he slammed the table and said: "Xia Ying, have you figured out your position yet? You are a model of my Star Point Company, you are a commodity, a tool for the company to make money! "Obeying the company's arrangements is part of your job. Don't think that you can do whatever you want now that your reputation has been revealed. Don't forget that you're still a signed model!"
As soon as these heartless words left his mouth, the entire room fell silent.
"Director!" Gu Yi was shocked that the other party could say such words.
Xia Ying remained expressionless and remained silent for a while. She stood up to tidy up her clothes, and then said coldly: "I'm tired. If I remember correctly, my contract will expire in three months, right? I have no objection to any of the arrangements before the contract expires. Of course, I will accept this job. "
The meaning behind her words was something that anyone could understand. The director's face turned from red to white.
Who is Xia Ying? She was the world's most famous model. In 2015, she was ranked second in the world's most beautiful woman. She was ranked the highest in the world.
Not only was she on stage, she was also the favorite of Dior's designer since 2013. Xia Ying could even be seen at Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter's new product shows.
Although Xia Ying had been growing tired and had been developing in the country recently, she could not tolerate her popularity. There were many companies at home and abroad that wanted to rob Xia Ying of her wealth.
However, Xia Ying seemed to love old times very much, and had always obediently stayed at her brokerage company without moving from her spot.
If Xia Ying really decided not to renew the contract again, it would be an irreparable loss to the company!
Seeing that he had angered Xia Ying, the director was regretful to the point that her intestines turned green. But Xia Ying did not give him the chance to apologize, directly stepping on her high heels and left.
Zhong Zhen was still standing where he was, the innocence of the youth on his face had disappeared, his eyes blazing with dark emotions.
He took a step forward, grabbed the director's collar and glared at him. "Something that doesn't know what's good for it, there's no need to keep it."
Xia Ying did not know that Zhong Zhen had not followed his out. She waited in the parking lot for a long time before seeing Zhong Zhen jogging over with his bag in his hands, his forehead covered in a thin layer of sweat, his face slightly flushed red. With a warm sun-like smile, he opened the car door for Xia Ying, "You've waited a long time, right?
He was always smiling, always like a little sun full of life. Xia Ying's heart was originally a little gloomy, but after seeing Zhong Zhen's smile, he was unable to release any fire.
Xia Ying said wistfully: "Go home first."
"Alright!" Zhong Zhen made a big shift in the parking lot as he left the brokerage company in his car.
Xia Ying kept quiet the whole way. When she returned home, she locked herself in her room.
Coincidentally, Zhong Zhen had something he needed to do, so he hid in his room and called. After he called for a while, he heard Xia Ying calling for someone.
"Alright, do as I say." Zhong Zhen quietly said to his phone in English before hurriedly hanging up. When he opened the door and went out, Xia Ying was standing at the door with his hands raised, as if he was about to knock. Zhong Zhen laughed: "Ah, I was squinting just now, why didn't I hear it?"
Xia Ying said: "Can you find the apartment that I stayed in previously?"
Zhong Zhen nodded: "I can find it."
"That's perfect, there's a wooden box in the original bedroom, placed in the bedside table. I couldn't find it here for a long time, it should be because Gu Yi didn't bring it over, help me get it back."
Xia Ying then added: "That is the company's house, maybe another model has already moved in. Speak properly after meeting someone, don't be so noisy. "
Zhong Zhen exclaimed in confusion, "What do you want to eat tonight? I came back to buy ingredients. "
"It's up to you." Xia Ying casually waved her hand, then ran over to the living room and curled up on the sofa.
Zhong Zhen closed his room door, took out his car keys and changed his shoes in the Profound Entrance, then shouted: "Then I'll be going, call me if you have anything else."
Xia Ying ignored him, Zhong Zhen did not care either, she was already used to it.
Xia Ying's previous apartment was in the North Second Ring Road, which was a little far from the place she was currently staying. On the way, Zhong Zhen called Gu Yi. Since he did not have the apartment key, she found out that someone had moved in. It seemed to be a famous model.
After Zhong Zhen entered the elevator, he kept praying to the other party not to throw away his things. If he did, then where would he go to find it?
Zhong Zhen pressed the doorbell, and a woman's voice came out: "Who is it?"
"Hello, I'm Teacher Xia Ying's assistant. I'm here to retrieve the personal belongings Teacher Xia left behind earlier." Zhong Zhen said.
Not long after, the door opened from the inside. A fair-skinned girl with long legs stuck out half of her body. The two of them were stunned for a moment when they met face to face.
"Snow, Mr. Xue? "Why are you here …" The girl was so surprised that her pupils dilated.
"Eh — — so it's you, Zheng Pei'er that Agent Gu mentioned. Didn't you say you're called Zheng Jiayi?" Zhong Zhen walked in uninvited, and directly entered Zheng Pei'er's bedroom and started searching for the wooden box that Xia Ying had mentioned.
"I resigned the company and repackaged it." Zheng Pei'er did not dare stop him, and knelt down beside Zhong Zhen and asked: "Mr. Xue, what are you looking for? Can I help? "
"This house was previously Xia Ying's home, I think she left a wooden box here. After staying here for the past two days, have you seen it?" Zhong Zhen asked.
Zheng Pei'er stood up and walked outside. She picked up a wooden box and returned with both hands. "Is this it?" It has been here since the beginning, and I was also afraid that it belonged to Teacher Xia Ying, hence I kept it safe and sound. "
"Ah, thank you then. I'm leaving." Zhong Zhen received the box that was as big as a soccer ball, and turned to leave without even looking at Zheng Pei'er.
"Mr. Xue!" Zheng Pei'er called out to him from behind. Her voice was as light as a mosquito's because she had no confidence in herself. "So long..." Have you ever thought of me? "
Zhong Zhen turned his head and looked at him like ice. The coldness in his eyes was like a nest of ice that sent chills down the spines of anyone who saw it.
"My name right now is Zhong Zhen. Remember, you must not mention the name Xue Minghuang in front of anyone, especially Xia Ying. Otherwise, you won't even know how you'll die. "
"I'm back. I bought some sushi along the way. Can I have some sushi tonight?" Zhong Zhen changed into a pair of shoes at the Profound Entrance while carrying a big and small bag.
Xia Ying was curled up on the sofa talking on the phone, when she heard him, she looked over and mouthed silently, "Welcome home."
After that, he hugged his knees and focused on the phone call. Holding back his excitement, Zhong Zhen placed the wooden box that Xia Ying had asked him to bring back on the tea table. Then, he carried the sushi and entered the kitchen.
After a while, Xia Ying walked into the kitchen with her mobile phone, casually picked up a lobster tail sushi to eat, and said indifferently: "Eat it yourself tonight, I said something to Gu Yi, that I want to go out to eat with the film crew later."
Zhong Zhen's hands paused, he raised his head and asked: "Didn't you say we won't bid?"
"Work arranged by the company." Xia Ying's explanation did not even change the way she saw things.
Zhong Zhen lowered his head and took out the boxes of sushi. His eyes were filled with the gloomy feeling of a storm, but his words were still as clear as the sun. "So that means, you don't plan on renewing the contract?"
Xia Ying did not say anything, which was right, after all, Zhong Zhen was just an assistant that was just assigned to his side. She finally ate a sushi and carried her bag out. "I'm leaving."
Zhong Zhen did not follow him. After Xia Ying left, he took out her phone and dialed a number, her voice cold like ice, "Prepare the information of all the members of the production team for me to send over to my mailbox."
