Chapter 2 – She Can Only Live Forever as Sheng Qiao
Huo Xi takes Qiao Qiao home, pours her a cup of hot water, and sits opposite her.
She is still crying, her shoulder is twitching, she looks around while she is crying. At last, her eyes fell on Huo Xi, who was opposite to her. She closed her eyes vigorously. Finally, incredibly, she cried out in a low voice: “Huo Xi…”
He looked at her with one hand on his forehead, and there was no emotion in his voice: “Sheng Qiao, what do you want to do?”
Hearing the word Sheng Qiao, she burst into tears.
Huo Xi: “…”
She cried for a while, as if remembering something, and looked up and asked, “Huo Xi, has the curtain been drawn? Never be photographed.”
Huo Xi: “…”
After a long time, she finally finished crying and choked and said, “Huo Xi, I’m so happy to see you. But something happened to me today, something amazing, I can’t afford to be happy.”
Idol is close at hand, but she is no longer her. A month ago, she heard that Huo Xi had moved to a new house, but she didn’t expect to move to her neighborhood. If she still was Qiao Qiao, how good it is.
Huo Xi wasn’t interested in the incredible things that happened to her. He looked at the time and stood up and said softly, “I call a car for you. Let’s go.”
Qiao Qiao’s brain was in a mess and she was too weak to follow him.
The elevator goes straight to the garage and the car waits outside. For celebrities of Huo Xi’s rank, security measures are extremely tight and there’s no need to worry about journalists sneaking in.
Huo Xi pulled the door for her and whispered, “Have a good rest.”
She nodded and leaned over the car. When the door closed and Huo Xi was about to turn back, she suddenly rolled down the window and shouted, “Huo Xi.”
Huo Xi turned around.
Her eyes were still red and her voice was buzzing, but her eyes were very earnest. “The business show will go smoothly tomorrow night.”
He nodded. “Thank you.”
Qiao Qiao sat back and reported Sheng Qiao’s home address to the driver.
It’s very late to get home. The second time she returned to this cold and strange home, she looked around, looked around, and cried uncontrollably.
She thought she could be back to Qiao Qiao someday, but it would be impossible.
All communication methods belonging to Qiao Qiao are no longer valid. Whether they are friends on Weibo or university classmates on Facebook, they do not have her in the photos.
Qiao Qiao disappeared so quietly.
But the earth is still turning, the world is still running, and other people’s lives have not changed anything because of the lack of her. As usual, she is not important.
Qiao Qiao covered the quilt and lay in bed for two days without eating or drinking.
Two days later, Gao Meiling’s phone call pulled her back to the reality she didn’t want to face: “Fang Bai has come to pick you up. Get it ready.”
After hanging up, she slowly sat up, went to the dressing room and looked at the people in the mirror for a long time.
Qiao Qiao has disappeared.
She can only live forever as Sheng Qiao.
* * * * * *
Assistant Fang Bai rang the doorbell and waited politely outside. He’s a newcomer. As soon as he joined the company, he heard Gao Meiling, the toughest agent and Sheng Qiao, the most difficult star to serve. They are the two “least” that everyone can avoid.
When he was hired, the girl assistant of Sheng Qiao was just fired by Gao Meiling. The company would not find the right person for a while, and no one would like to go to in the old staff. Fang Bai was just thrown away.
Before leaving, the sister of the personnel department kindly reminded him, “It can avoid a lot of trouble to talk less and do more, and treat them as bosses.”
Fang Bai keeps in mind and he has always maintained a respectful, polite and alienated attitude, and so far there has been no omission. He thought that working around the two “least” was not as terrible as the rumors.
When the door opened, Fang Bai looked up and just shouted the word “Qiao”, he stepped back two steps in horror.
Where did the female ghost come from?!
Messy hair, pale lips, haggard face and a wrinkled red dress. Fang Bai calmed down and sounded out, “Sister Qiao Qiao?”
She gave a hum and turned into the room.
Fang Bai hesitated, but finally walked in and stood on the porch and said, “Sister Qiao Qiao, we’re going to the company at 9:30, and there’s an hour left.”
Sheng Qiao was standing in front of the water dispenser, drinking three cups of water, standing in situ for a moment, and walking to the cloakroom: “I see.”
Her voice was hoarse. Fang Bai thought that she was ill. He would go to the drugstore to get some medicine first. If she delayed his work, he would also suffer.
Just thinking about it, Sheng Qiao came out with her hair pulled, tied a ponytail and a long black down suit, and said to him, “Come on.”
Fang Bai was stunned: “Just go out like this?”
“What’s wrong?”
You used to wear makeup for two hours! Fang Bai shook his head quickly. “Nothing much, let’s go.”
On the way to the car, Sheng Qiao did not speak any more. Fang Bai watched carefully from the rearview mirror and finally tentatively asked, “Sister Qiao Qiao, are you not feeling well? Should we go to the hospital first?
She shook her head weakly: “It’s okay, just a little hungry.”
Fang Bai was somewhat puzzled and wanted to laugh. He looked at the street and pulled over. “I’ll buy you some breakfast.”
The roadside breakfast shop is still very busy. Fang Bai is not sure what she likes to eat. He bought some of them and handed them to her when he got back to the car. “Sister Qiao Qiao, eat while it’s hot.”
Sheng Qiao smelled and feels more hungry and finally smiled. She thanked him and began to eat.
Fang Bai did not contact Sheng Qiao for a few days. He didn’t pay much attention to the Internet and didn’t know Sheng Qiao’s bad reviews. He was reminded by several good colleagues when he joined the company and realized that what he was serving was not a good person.
But in the past few days, they had nothing wrong. Sheng Qiao did not think much of him, and he was also idle. May be because they get along for some days, he thinks Sheng Qiao is very friendly. When she says thank you, she will look at your eyes and smile. The corners of her eyes are bent, which is much better than those women stars with heavy makeup.
Sheng Qiao is full of food and drink, and her face is ruddy, so she refreshes and asks Fang Bai, “what are we going to do today?”
Don’t you even know your work schedule?
Fang Bai answered, “There’s a magazine interview after the meeting, and we’re leaving for the group in the afternoon.”
Sheng Qiao was still drinking soy milk and almost squirted out, “What’s in the group? Why don’t I know Sheng… Why don’t I know I have a new play?
Fang Bai was stunned.
Is her business ability so casual?
“Sister Qiao, don’t you remember Crazy Word?”
Sheng Qiao thought for a long time, “You said that Tanbi play, I remember.” Somehow she used to be a reader, and she still knows Crazy Word, a popular online Tanbi novel, “but has it not officially announced two male protagonists? What does it have to do with me?
Fang Bai was speechless: “You are the heroine. After entering the group this afternoon, they are going to make an official announcement when they take a make-up picture of you. “
Sheng Qiao bumped into the back of the car seat, and Fang Bai explained dutifully: “The script review didn’t pass before, the director decided to add a heroine to it temporarily. “Crazy Word” is also our company’s investment, Sister Gao took the role for you at the meeting.
Does Gao Meiling want her to die?
She’s going to play the leading lady in the Tanbi play? What does she play? Robbing hero No. 2 with No. 1?
She suspects that Gao Meiling is Sheng Qiao’s senior hater.
The car quickly reached the company garage. Star Shining Media’s office building is in the center of the city, high-profile atmosphere, very consistent with its means of star-making. Sheng Qiao followed Fang Bai all the way into the elevator, just entered, and came face to face with two people.
The first one was a very thin middle-aged man, who looked weak, but had a pair of eagle’s eyes, which was terrible when he looked at people. Behind him was a young man with a round face, carrying a laptop and a backpack, and talking to the eagle-eyed man as he walked.
Sheng Qiao was so excited when she saw them.
Brother Bao and Little Egg, Huo Xi’s agent and assistant!
In the past, when pursuing activities, she got familiar with the team around Huo Xi. Often chasing the front line will be familiar to people, not to mention the former Qiao Qiao’s look, tall, carrying camera and standing there, is a scenic line.
Little Egg joked with her several times while waiting for baggage at the airport and asked her if the machine was heavy. The studio often contacts her for authorization and uses her pictures as officially announcement. After all, Qiao Qiao’s equipment is purchased from abroad at a high price. Her technology of shooting and photography is the best one in all Huo Xi’s stations.
Brother Bao’s full name is Lei Bao. It’s very earthy and annoying to listen to his name, but Brother Bao is a well-known senior agent in the circle. All the stars he was interested are sure to be popular in less than three years. He brought out several film emperors and queens. The hottest Huo Xi now was excavated from practitioners, brought back to China to cultivate first-hand.
Fans of Huo Xi say that Brother Bao’s business capabilities are impeccable, except in the case of Sheng Qiao.
Fang Bai did not know why his artist suddenly began to tremble. Of course, he also knew Huo Xi’s team. After greeting, he silently blocked Sheng Qiao behind him.
They also saw them. Brother Bao was okay. After all, his identity was there and he responded to Fang Bai’s greeting. Little Egg is young and vigorous. He is also a fan of Huo Xi. His white eyes are turning to the sky.
When the elevator arrived on the ninth floor, Fang Bai led Sheng Qiao out quickly. She thought about it and politely said goodbye to them.
Until the elevator door closed, Little Egg said, “Are we familiar with her?”
On the 27th floor, Huo Xi plays Glory of Kings in his office.
He had just won three killings when they came in and heard the door ringing without raising his head. Brother Bao approached, threw a paper bag on the tea table in front of him, reached for a cigarette and said, “Take it down.”
Huo Xi said yes.
Brother Bao looked at him for a moment and said, “Nothing to say?”
“No.”
Brother Bao took two sips of his cigarette and spit out a cigarette ring: “When I first came up, I met Sheng Qiao in the elevator.”
Huo Xi’s finger stopped for a second.
“As you said, it’s estimated that something happened to her. She is rather haggard and doesn’t have makeup.” He looked at Huo Xi and said, “But she’s still beautiful. If you like her…”
Huo Xi put down his cell phone: “I don’t like her.”
Brother Bao pointed papers on the table: “Don’t like her, and help her again? Allow her to tie you up for gossip?”
Huo Xi leaned back, put his arm on the armrest and said, “She’s very poor.” After thinking about it, he added, “It’s not bad for her either.”
Brother Bao sighed.’Fortunately, this reporter is your fan. He called me as soon as he got the photos. If the photos of the secret meeting in the late night community were to be spread out, only Gao Meiling would be happy in the whole country.”
Huo Xi frowned physiologically in disgust when he heard the name Gao Meiling.
Brother Bao seemed to be thinking of something too, saying, “Twenty years of contract, and she suffered. One is cruel and one is foolish, and they can’t blame others.”
Huo Xi stood up and threw a U-disk to him. “Demo’s all in it. You take to let Shi Xuan choose it.”
Shi Xuan, a newly signed singer in Star Shining Media, invited songs to Huo Xi. Strictly speaking, Huo Xi is not a professional singer, the majority of netizens give him the positioning of top flow data star. Inviting him to write a song is mostly because of his heat.
But Huo Xi really likes music, anyway you dare to invite, I dare to write.
“Okay, you go back and get ready. If you can, we’ll go to Mr. Yang Feng’s tomorrow and talk about arranging music.”
Huo Xichao turned back and postured an OK. Brother Bao stopped him when he remembered, “Are you interested in that online drama invested by the company who wants to find you to sing the theme song?”
“No interest.”
“If you hadn’t said that music-related projects would have asked you what you thought, I would have refused. The heroine of the play is Sheng Qiao. If you sing the theme song, you may wonder what kind of tricks Gao Meiling is going to make.
Huo Xi thinks of something, frowning: “It’s the Tanbi play?”
“Yeah, I don’t know what Gao Meiling thinks. The heroine of the play absolutely gets scolded.”
“Hasn’t she always been like this?” “It doesn’t matter whether it’s black or red for the sake of heat,” Huo Xi quipped.
“The girl Sheng Qiao…” Brother Bao sighed, “She’s really poor. If she had been in my hands, conditions would not have been so terrible.”
Huo Xi waved his hand. “Gone.”
He had two cups of coffee in the morning. He went to the bathroom first. As soon as he reached the door, he heard two employees talking inside.
“I heard it outside the door, and it was a terrible fight.”
“It is the first time I saw Sheng Qiao talking back to Sister Gao in public, isn’t it said that she was afraid of Sister Gao in private?”
“What is she afraid of? These two women are not good stubble. It’s interesting to fight for them.”
Huo Xi walked into the toilet with no expression. The two employees looked at each other and said nothing more. He settled down and went straight to the elevator and pressed the second floor underground.
The elevator went all the way down and stopped at the ninth floor. The door opened slowly and Sheng Qiao stood outside in a fierce manner.
She should be very angry, cheeks left flushing after a fierce fight, the anger in the eyes has not faded, eyebrow peak high, the whole face shows a few … Ferocious.
Fang Bai stood behind her and said, “Sister Qiao Qiao, don’t do that. There are no benefits for you to fall out with Sister Gao…”
Sheng Qiao shouted, “The fucking benefits.”
As she looked up, she saw Huo Xi in the elevator.
For a moment, Huo Xi felt that the volcano in front of him was suddenly covered with snow. In the melting snow, a sunflower with a smiling face came out.
She looked at him, her eyes were bright, the corners of her mouth were bent, and her voice was filled with tenderness and joy that could not be suppressed: “Huo Xi!”
That’s the best way to laugh when you meet your favorite person.
