The good resources that Chen Jia expected did not come. Although Lin Xi had the qualifications to act in blockbuster films, "Vertical and Horizontal" hadn't been released yet, and no one knew how he would perform in it. He was still a newcomer.On the contrary, someone came to take advantage of the "Vertical and Horizontal" success, but Chen Jia was dissatisfied with both the role and the salary.

According to her, she would rather let Lin Xi rest for a while, so that she can have a suitable position after "Vertical and Horizontal" is released, and she can't waste such a good starting point to make a bad movie at a lower price.

So Lin Xi returned to the state of doing nothing. After two days of idleness at home, he went to the film and television city to be a group performer, because he was outstanding among the group performances in terms of appearance and acting skills. His skills are not bad, so he can often get roles with one or two lines of lines, such as the waiter in the restaurant, the little eunuch with a whisk, the masked man who chases and kills the heroine...With Lin Xi's acting skills, it is of course easy to play such a role , basically pass it once, so there are more opportunities, and the income is steadily increasing.

Chen Jia also acquiesced in his behavior of earning extra money, euphemistically honing his acting skills, claiming that when he becomes popular, this experience can be used as a hot spot.

After running like this for nearly a month, Chen Jia came to pick him up and said that the boss was looking for him just after the performance that day, so Lin Xi changed his clothes and went back to the company with Chen Jia.

Chen Jia's complexion was not very good-looking, and she refused to say anything when she asked, but just patted Lin Xi's head comfortingly, thinking it was not a good thing.

Lin Xi recounted the bad things that might happen to him, such as the character in "Vertical and Horizontal" being cut, such as some bad rumors, such as being hidden by the company... Then he found that there seemed to be nothing he couldn't accept.

It would be a pity if the character in "Vertical and Horizontal" was cut, but it doesn't affect his salary, so what's the matter?Being represented by the company's Xue Zang was unable to act for a period of time, but it also meant that during this period of time he could stop working and get a salary of thousands of dollars for nothing every month, which was all his money.As for rumors, what does it matter what other people say?It's really going to be a big mess, he still has a super electronic assistant, a mobile phone can act as thousands of sailors.

When Lin Xi entered the office, he was slightly taken aback when he saw the old man sitting across from him. It turned out that the boss Chen Jia was talking about was not the CEO, but the CEO's father——Chairman Gu Minghui.

The Gu family has a big business, and their business is not limited to the entertainment industry. Although most of the family business has been handed over to Gu Qingcang, the equity is still in the hands of Gu Minghui.

Gu Minghui looks about five or sixty years old. He doesn't have a wooden face like his son. Instead, he smiles very warmly, exuding a sense of elegance, which makes people feel good about him.

Gu Minghui also had a good impression of the handsome boy in sportswear in front of him, and said with a gentle smile, "Xiaoxi, I know you are a good boy..."

Lin Xi blinked, well, a good guy gets stuck at the beginning, it really isn't a good thing.

Sure enough, the turning point came in the next second: "But I'm afraid I will wrong you this time."

Lin Xi looked at Gu Minghui quietly, being looked at by such clear eyes, Gu Minghui found that he had to be more sincere, and said: "There are some things that shouldn't be said to outsiders, but..."

"Chairman," Lin Xi interrupted, "I'm not interested in knowing this."

Gu Minghui said: "I know, but I still want to explain clearly to you."

He said again: "I have looked at Qing Cang coldly for so many years, and you are the only one who has had a relationship with him. Although the relationship was a little unclear, even Qing Cang himself was confused, but this is indeed true. A love affair - no one has ever given him so many smiles. So Xiaoxi, in my heart, you are not an outsider."

Lin Xi was a little embarrassed, but it was admitted that this was not a nurturing but a love affair, especially Gu Qingcang's father who admitted this, he felt very comfortable - even if it was a sugar-coated poison, he swallowed it!

Gu Minghui sighed, with a look of reminiscence on his face, and said: "Ten years ago, Qing Cang was a little younger than you, and he fell in love with a boy who played well with him, and the boy's father was My friend in the business field. My wife was the first to find out about this and told me immediately. You must know that I have such an only son in my 30s. Of course, I can’t just watch him go astray. It’s exactly that Something was wrong with the boy's family business, so we secretly made a deal.

"The boy didn't have any feelings for Qing Cang, so he readily agreed to the condition. We deliberately arranged for the two of them to meet a pair of boys who confessed to each other and kissed each other, and then the boy rushed up and scolded them for disgusting, perverted, and said all kinds of ugly things. , Qingcang was watching at the time, his face was bloodless.

"Qing Cang began to deliberately keep a distance from that boy. We were all relieved, but later found that he would be involuntarily attracted to those who looked like that boy. If he married a woman who looked like that boy, we would also I admit it, but he never touches anyone. It’s fine for a day or two, but it’s been ten years now.”

Lin Xi nodded. He had already seen these things in the plot, and he was not very surprised. He asked, "I look a lot like that person?"

"It's not like, you are much prettier than him! Sometimes I feel that what Qing Cang thinks of is no longer the boy he was back then, but the image he has beautified countless times - I knew this before, I would have thought You shouldn't stop him." After Gu Minghui finished speaking, he said again: "So you really put Qing Cang down."

"As long as it is a person, I will let it go," Lin Xi muttered, "I'm not a particularly cheap type."

Gu Minghui burst out laughing, shook his head and said, "It's Qing Cang who is unlucky."

Lin Xi had a chill, Gu Minghui laughed and said, "Are you kidding, did you scare you?"

He continued: "After so many years, we have thought about everything, and sometimes we even want to give up: he can be with whoever he wants. Anyway, the test-tube baby technology has matured now. As a result, at this time , Qiao Maner and Xiao Han came out.

"I'm in my 60s. You can't understand how an old man in his 60s suddenly has a soft and fragrant grandson. Xiaohan is smart and well-behaved. He's better than a test-tube baby who doesn't know what to do, right? Qiao Maner doesn't like Qingcang, doesn't care how many people are around him, just wants to give Xiaohan a complete family, and Qingcang also needs a wife, and more importantly, Gu Qingcang is willing to marry her, so this marriage is It was an instant hit. But now, we've changed our minds."

Lin Xi asked in surprise, "Us?"

"It's us," Gu Minghui said, "it's not only Qing Cang who changed his mind, but also me. Before, I thought that this girl was strong and optimistic because of Xiao Han's love for Wu Wu, and it was not impossible for Mrs. Gu to take the position of Mrs. Gu. But after Qing Cang changed her mind , A few things happened one after another, and I realized that I misread the person. That woman is too troublesome, and she may not be sincere to Xiaohan.

"The future mistress of the Gu family would rather be mediocre than this. So I told her clearly that the Gu family would never marry her, even if Gu Qingcang wanted to, I would not agree."

Lin Xi found herself a bit overwhelmed: the change was too fast.

He sighed again: So these rich people are the most unreliable. One second they treat you like a treasure, and the next second they can treat you like grass.

I really want to see what Qiao Maner, who was still taking Joe, looked like when she heard this sentence.

"As for Xiaohan, I'll give her two choices, or give her to the Gu family to be raised. In the future, even if not all of the Gu family's property will be handed over to him, he will have a share. She can raise whatever conditions she has. Or keep it to herself But this way we will not admit that Xiaohan is the blood of the Gu family, and she has nothing to do with our Gu family. Also, if Gu Qingcang does not get married before the age of 30, he will go to the United States to be a test-tube baby. How many children do you want? Just as many children.

"At that time, I thought, if she chooses to have a child, maybe we can reconsider her marriage with Gu Qingcang, but she chose one, and the condition is that Gu will make her a star. Xiaohan's life experience cannot be kept secret forever, So we don't want her to live in such a miserable state that Xiaohan will be divorced from us, so we readily agreed, but she still has one condition..."

Seeing that Gu Minghui's tone was hesitant, Lin Xi took the initiative to ask, "Is it related to me?"

Gu Minghui nodded, and said: "Because of the conflict in the mall last time, she insisted that it was because of you that she and Qingcang failed to get married, so she focused on targeting you. First, she robbed you of your role, and later found that Qingcang was trying to compensate you. After paying a lot of money to find someone to write songs for you, they demand that you be kicked out of the company."

Lin Xi was stunned, Gu Qingcang asked someone to write a song for him?When did this happen?

"Qing Cang is afraid that you will refuse, so how dare he tell you?" Gu Minghui saw what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "So that boy Qing Cang, looking at Merry, is actually pure and deadly emotionally. Xiaoxi, do you want to think about him? When the time comes, each of you will be a test-tube baby, and I can help you take care of the baby..."

Lin Xi had a black line: "Chairman!"

Gu Minghui smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'm not kidding anymore."

He put away the smile on his face, and said seriously: "Actually, what Qiao Maner means is to let us sell you to the kind of small company that treats its artists as public relations, but I don't want to hurt people like this, let alone have a relationship with Qingcang I turned my face, so I decided to terminate the contract. I hope you can understand that the matter of Xiaohan has not yet been settled, and we have to agree to some conditions of Qiao Maner."

Lin Xi found out that this old man is very powerful, you have to thank him even if he bullied you, and asked, "What about the liquidated damages?"

Gu Minghui said: "Of course you won't lose the liquidated damages, and I can give you an extra sum of money as compensation."

Lin Xi shook her head and said, "There's no need for compensation. Speaking of which, I'm still taking advantage of the company...Who should I ask for the formalities?"

Seeing how straightforward he was, Gu Minghui glanced at him and said, "Chen Jia is waiting for you outside."

Lin Xi nodded and got up to say goodbye.

Gu Minghui said: "Wait a minute."

Lin Xi turned back, Gu Minghui said: "This is my personal phone number, if there is a company you want to go to, call me, I can help you arrange... Well, you can also call when you are free, and you young people It's nice to have a chat."

This was obviously a temporary decision, Lin Xi did not refuse his kindness, took his business card, thanked him and left.

Gu Minghui looked at the closed door, leaned back in the chair, and sighed: "Young people nowadays, it's incredible. At such a young age, you can't be surprised by favor or humiliation... It would be great if this was a girl."

……

Coming out of the company, Chen Jia sighed, pointed at Lin Xi's head and scolded: "You son of a bitch, let you talk nonsense all day long, why don't you terminate the contract if you have nothing to say, is it really terminated now?"

Lin Xi was in a good mood, hugging her arm and said: "Sister Chen, I'm rich now, shall I treat you to a big meal?" Gu Qingcang's so-called compensations made him extremely uncomfortable, so Lin Xi had already I had the idea of ​​breaking the contract, but I couldn't pay the liquidated damages. Now it's an unexpected surprise. Not only did I successfully get rid of the relationship with those people, but I also made a fortune for nothing.

"Big dinner!" Chen Jia scolded, then sighed, "Forget it, let me treat you!"

"Okay!"

"Why, now you are not afraid that others will say that you are adopted by me?"

Lin Xi giggled.

"You little heartless!"

"Sister Chen, if you wait for me to become popular, you can jump over here and become my manager. I will support you!"

"I know how to play tricks all day long. When you raise me, my mother will only have to drink the northwest wind!"

"Sister Chen, maybe if I run around and play tricks, I will become popular?"

Chen Jia laughed, and said coldly: "That Qiao Man'er, I have never seen a more stupid woman than her."

Lin Xi laughed and said, "Only stupid women in novels are loved!"

Chen Jia snorted coldly: "That's the woman in the novel who was lucky, and just happened to meet love."

"..."

Gu Qingcang stood upstairs, watching the two people fight and get into the car with a blank expression, and stood for a long time before returning to the office to sit down.

He thought that the kid would come to say hello to him anyway, but no.

He wanted to do something to compensate him, and couldn't wait to give him something, but the role he found for him was robbed in an instant, and the assistant and nanny car he gave him couldn't be given away at all, he thought Helped him out with an album, but he was terminated before his shadow appeared...

He wanted to have one last word with him, at least an apology, but the kid was avoiding him like something dirty.

His chest seemed to be clogged with a ball of cotton, and he couldn't even breathe freely, and he was irritable when he looked at everything.There was a secret voice in his heart that kept shouting, wanting, wanting... This voice was getting louder and louder, but he still couldn't grasp what he really wanted.

-

After sending Chen Jia away, Lin Xi opened the same city to find information about rental houses.Although Chen Jia said that he would live in this house for a while longer, but he still planned to move out as soon as possible.

After careful calculation of the past six months in the company, the emotional contribution is not counted. He seems to be the one who took advantage: first, a signing fee, and then a liquidated damages. Every month, I get thousands of dollars in salary for nothing.

After taking a not-so-small amount of liquidated damages, the poor Lin Xi became a "rich man" again. Of course, buying a house is still far away, but renting a house with better conditions is not a problem at all.After wandering around the same city for a while, the dazzled Lin Xi handed over this glorious and great task to his "electronic assistant" - classmate Jinjiang 123.

Jinjiang 123 was extremely efficient, and gave an answer within a few seconds. A bright message appeared in front of Lin Xi. Jinjiang 123 said triumphantly: "This is my comprehensive consideration of the apartment type, environment, decoration, public security, neighbors, After the transportation and other conditions, I found the best house source, 150 square meters, three bedrooms and two living rooms, brand new fine decoration, complete appliances, and you can move in with your bags. And I checked, this is a house carefully prepared for the wedding, and the wedding If you don’t get married, you will be cheated on, and you haven’t lived in anyone for a day. The owner is afraid that he will go abroad for development, so he handed over the house to the intermediary...Master, you have to do it quickly, or you won’t have this shop after passing this village .Uh, wait a minute, I will block this listing information first, so as not to be preempted by others!"

Lin Xi supported her head, pointed at the eye-catching five-digit number on the phone, and said, "You have considered all the conditions, have you considered my wallet?"

Jinjiang 123 said: "This price is expensive, it's expensive, it's worth it, and if it's not expensive, it won't be our turn. And I've done the math, master, your money to pay the deposit and two years' rent is just right!"

"And then, I go to drink the northwest wind?"

Jinjiang 123 sighed: "Master, you have to take a long-term view. Are you planning to be a poor person for the rest of your life? This small amount of money is a drizzle! Besides, it really doesn't work, isn't there me?"

Well, Lin Xi admits that what Jinjiang 123 said this time is a bit reasonable, and the house looks warm and comfortable, and it has never been lived in, so he is very satisfied.

Anyway, money is something like that, isn't it just for spending when you earn it?

So I contacted the agent, checked the house, paid the money, and everything went well, and I moved to my new home the next day.

On the third day, get familiar with the environment and add some things. It is said that you will get a bag to move in, but you can't prepare all the washing powder and soap for you.

On the fourth day, I continued to play tricks.

Previously, Chen Jia had entrusted someone, and he was not afraid of not being able to find a job if someone took him with him. Although the contract with the company was terminated now, the group leader who took him, Old Liu, didn't care about it. He still called him for any work.

Lin Xi doesn't shy away from meat and vegetables, so he will go wherever there is work, even if the crew of "Don't Say" let him go, he will still go.

That day, the filming scene of "Don't Talk" required hundreds of people to be the audience, so Lin Xi naturally joined in the fun, sitting on a stool and pretending to eat, clapping her hands and applauding loudly.

Today's filming was not going well, it was NG all the time, and later Lin Xi didn't bother to clap her hands, watching the performance on stage, she acted obsessively against her conscience.

It was finally over, Lin Xi got up to change clothes, and a familiar voice came from behind: "Lin Xi."

As soon as Lin Xi turned her head, she saw Qiao Man'er in a costume. If it wasn't for the system's reminder, he would almost not have recognized it... The make-up technique in this era is comparable to the disguise technique, coupled with the thick and colorful costumes, I dare not take it easy recognize.But I have to admit that Qiao Man'er's foundation is still very good. With such a dress, the five points of color become nine points.

Lin Xi nodded: "Miss Qiao, what a coincidence."

Lin Xi would not be stupid enough to call her aunt in front of so many people.

"That's right," Qiao Man'er said leisurely, "I heard that you and HC have terminated the contract. Why, have you been reduced to playing tricks on the set?"

Lin Xi said: "Why not make money? It's not bad to play tricks. Ah, why did Ms. Qiao suddenly think of entering the entertainment industry? The director kept calling NG just now. Ms. Qiao must have worked hard too?"

This is going around the corner to say that her acting skills are poor!Qiao Man'er's face changed, and she turned around with a cold snort.

Lindsay shrugged and continued to change clothes.

As soon as he changed his clothes, he was dragged by the group leader to change into a military uniform, and then play a soldier. It is said that there are still lines.A line is 50 yuan!Of course, Lin Xi, who has money to earn, would not refuse, and was immediately happy when he arrived at the scene.

He has read the script of "Don't Tell", and he doesn't say he can remember all the scenes in it, but Qiao Man'er's current role was originally his, and he still has an impression of the plot of this role.

This is the first scene where the heroine's younger brother who is an actor, oh, should be her sister now.My sister's performance amazed the audience. The hero was chased by the puppet army and ran to the backstage. The leader of the puppet army ordered people to search. My sister found that the hero was hiding in the pile of costumes, but she pretended not to know, removed makeup and changed clothes normally, and even smoked it in. The search soldier slapped his face.

Looking at Qiao Maner's triumphant eyes, he obviously wanted him to play the role of the soldier who was slapped.

The assistant director came over to tell him about the play, Lin Xi asked without waiting for him to speak: "Real beating or fake beating?"

The assistant director was taken aback, and his eyes fell on Qiao Man'er who was not far away.

The director over there was talking to Qiao Maner. Lin Xi went over and sat on the prop table with her long legs propped up. She asked with a smile, "Director, is it real or fake?"

The director was initially displeased at being disturbed, but when he saw that it was Lin Xi, he was stunned for a moment, then reacted and gave the assistant director a hard look.

Qiao Maner didn't expect that Lin Xi would rush to the director directly, and said with a smile, "Of course we have to fight, otherwise why..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the director: "Fake beating."

He was very upset. Gu Qingcang originally wanted this role for this kid surnamed Lin, but Gu Minghui gave it to Qiao Man'er in the middle of the game. Afterwards, Gu Qingcang called again to ask him to change it back... This encounter, how can he not know the tricks in it?What happened today, let's not talk about whether helping Qiao Man'er bully Lin Xi will offend Gu Qingcang - I'm fucking filming an anti-Japanese drama, and it's not about his Gu family's grievances!

Qiao Man'er's expression froze, she didn't expect the director to not even give this little face, and her face suddenly turned ugly: "The director..."

The director's face sank and he said, "You also know that I am the director. Do you remember what I said just now? Once you remember, start shooting."

Lin Xi raised her hand and said, "Director, I've studied this role before, and I have something to share with Ms. Qiao, okay?"

The director glanced at him and said, "I'll give you 10 minutes!" He turned and left.

Lin Xi smiled and said, "Thank you director."

Qiao Man'er's face turned pale with anger. Seeing Lin Xi looking at her leisurely, Qiao Man'er stared at her fiercely, and said, "What are you looking at?"

Lin Xi folded her arms and said with a smile: "If you look like this, the avatar will collapse again!"

"What do you mean?"

Lin Xidao: "Haven't you already tasted the consequences of the collapse of the human design? It scared our chairman and the president away! Do you think that you can't catch a wealthy son-in-law anyway? It doesn't matter if you want it or not? But this entertainment industry is not run by Gu's. Even if they were, the audience wouldn't eat everything. It's useless for Gu to praise people who are not likable. Aunt Qiao , the entertainment industry needs more character design, I advise you to pick up the mask and put it on again! It's not good to bully the tricks!

"Hey, why is Aunt Qiao looking at me like a bad person again? It really makes me speechless! I wonder, Aunt Qiao, do you tell yourself every day that I am so kind to raise grandma by myself. My grandma’s illness and being bullied by others can only swallow my anger. I’m so miserable. I’m so strong after giving birth to a baby alone. I’d rather be separated from him for the sake of the baby’s future. Everyone should like you, and if you don't like someone who doesn't understand you, you are just vicious and jealous of your beauty?

"Please be sober, stop beautifying yourself, what's the use of hypnotizing yourself? Everyone is not a fool. First, it is everyone's duty to take care of the elderly, except for some scumbags, who is not like this, don't always show it Is it okay to be a cover? Second, I sympathize with you when you are bullied, but since you choose to take money without saying a word, then don’t talk about it; third, having a child out of wedlock really has nothing to do with being strong Relationship, this is a symbol of stupidity and depravity, okay? Fourth, you can do such things as exchanging your baby for benefits, how did you make yourself taller in your own heart?"

After finishing a long paragraph, Lin Xi looked at the trembling Qiao Maner with satisfaction, and said with a smile, "Aunt Qiao, let me tell you the truth for free. If you think the whole world is full of bad people, then There is only one truth: you are the one that is broken! Really, go home and take a good look in the mirror!"

Qiao Maner managed to maintain her image, gritted her teeth and said in a low voice: "Lin Xi, don't think that Gu Qingcang will always protect you, I see how long you can be arrogant!"

Is this still a fight with him?Lin Xi looked cold, and said: "Qiao Maner, are you sick? Gu Qingcang is ruthless and you still hold on to him, and Gu Minghui reneges on his promises, but you still hug his thigh with a stern face. People who deserve revenge don't take revenge, but why? Chasing and biting irrelevant people like a mad dog. You see me as a bully, right? Qiao Maner, let me tell you, my patience has a limit!"

He doesn't bother about grabbing roles or terminating the contract, because these things are exactly what he wants, but it's annoying to always come to him and bark.

He raised his hand and smiled, "Director, we're done!"

Without even looking at Qiao Man'er, she turned and returned to the team of soldiers.

It also cost more money to be beaten. Qiao Man'er performed exceptionally this time, and even passed it in one go, which made it very easy for Lin Xi to earn the money.

When she returned to her residence at night, Lin Xi received a call from Xiao Rui: "Lin Xiaoxi, I heard you terminated the contract?"

"Well, brother Xiao, you are very well informed!"

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "The circle is so big, what is there to hide from others? I still got a little slow news because I was filming abroad... How about it, are you interested in coming to Brother Xiao's studio?"

Lin Xi shook her head: "Now I think it's good to be free to play tricks."

Xiao Rui said: "I think you were bitten by a snake once and afraid of well ropes for ten years. Okay, I won't rush you. Whenever you change your mind, you can come to me anytime!"

"Thank you Brother Xiao!"

Xiao Rui said: "Which one of us is with whom, why should we thank you? By the way, have you received the movie ticket?"

Lin Xi asked in amazement, "What movie ticket?"

Xiao Rui sighed and said, "Lin Xiaoxi, are you stupid for playing tricks? "Vertical and Horizontal" is about to premiere! Director Wang deliberately covered you and didn't ask you to participate in the promotion together. What's the matter?"

"Uh……"

Xiao Rui said again: "It's fine if you don't receive it. I'll go back to China in a few days and bring you a few more."

"Forget it, Brother Xiao," Lin Xi said, "I don't like watching movies. I'll watch them at home when there are resources online..."

"Lin Xiaoxi!"

Seeing that Xiao Rui seemed to be showing signs of getting angry, Lin Xi hurriedly changed his words: "Thank you Brother Xiao!"

"Lin Xiaoxi, can you be a little promising? At least you should care about your own market! I know you have no ambitions, but you have to think like this," Xiao Rui lowered his voice, with temptation: "You run for a month now. It’s enough for you to eat for three months at most, and when you become popular, one month’s filming will be enough for you to eat and drink for three years. How about it, do you want to be popular or not?”

Lin Xi swallowed: "...I want to!"

"Well, good boy." Xiao Rui praised, and then said: "The movie ticket is not for you, it is for you to give away, of course you are going to attend the premiere ceremony that day, and there will be a celebration banquet after that , In short, you are busy. Don't play tricks these days, and make good preparations."

Lin Xi nodded: "Understood."

Xiao Rui babbled for a while before hanging up the phone, and soon Chen Jia called in, saying: "Zongheng" sent your movie ticket to the company, when are you free to come and get it?"

"No, those tickets will be given to you, remember to support me when the time comes!"

Chen Jia laughed and said, "Actor Xiao has a lot of fans, it's really hard to get a ticket now, thank you."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Jia thought for a while, went upstairs and knocked on Gu Qingcang's door: "Boss, Xiaoxi sent us some movie tickets, do you want to leave two for you?"
