give you a soft spot

Before I came to look for Xi Zhuo this time, although I had a short time to think and was in a hurry, I really wanted to stay with him.

But within a few days of coming here, Kakang Siyao encountered trouble, which made me in a dilemma.

When I received the call from Bi Gong, Xi Zhuo and I were painting the low fence in the side courtyard. After a long time outside, I became more and more afraid of Bi Gong's call. When I saw the caller ID, bad thoughts would pop up in my mind. Either something happened to my mother or her old man, or something happened to Kakang Siyao, because this kid Bi Gong never chats with me on the phone when he is free.

I purposely avoided Xi Zhuo to answer the phone, walked more than ten meters and stood on the steps of the front door, listening to Bi Gong and looking at the figure not far away who was still busy in the sun in overalls.

"Ah Ming, where have you been? Sister Gu said you weren't in China," Bi Gong said in a complaining tone, "You must not have paid attention to the affairs of the studio these days, otherwise you wouldn't ignore it."

I have to answer this point honestly. I did not participate in any work after I came here. I went to bed late with Xi Zhuo and woke up late every day. I bought things and cleaned up the house. I really regarded this place as our safe haven. I don't hear anything out of the window, and I'm only in love.When Bi Gong said this, I was very guilty, but I still pretended to be calm and asked: "What's the matter?"

Bi Gong didn't ask me where I was, but simply said that there were many fake Kakang Siyao incidents on the Internet, which caused panic among people, thinking that the flagship store's real and fake products were mixed and sold to cheat for huge profits, new and old customers blindly Returns and refunds from the crowd, logistics and customer service are busy, and public relations and publicity are worrying.

I strained my heart to listen to every word he said, and asked, "Where's Qi Yi?"

Bi Gong sighed: "He? He usually looks quite capable, but at critical moments, he can't solve anything. He's struggling. Everyone says don't bother you for the time being, but now the situation is getting worse and worse. I'm afraid of making trouble. It's getting out of hand, thinking of calling you, they are afraid of offending you, I am not afraid, you should quickly find a way."

Qi Yi stayed abroad for so long, accumulated talent and neglected contacts. This was the first major incident he faced in the studio after he came back. It was wise for him not to take blind measures conservatively.

"How about it," I said to Bi Gong after thinking for a moment, "I'll take a closer look at the situation first and get back to you later."

I hung up the phone, put on my gloves again, picked up a brush, and walked back to Xi Zhuo, my heart was extremely conflicted, I was determined to give up everything to stay with Xi Zhuo, but I was unwilling to let Ka Kang Siyao be destroyed.

The current me is shameful, I can only say nice things, exaggerate my determination thousands of times, and in the end I can't do anything.

"Whose phone?" Xi Zhuo, who was bending over to paint the wooden fence, turned to look at me, "What happened?"

I smiled: "Bi Gong is calling, it's nothing, just talking nonsense."

Xi Zhuo was silent for two seconds and then continued to move his hands: "When you lie, you blink your eyes twice."

His words made my heart tremble when I was dipping in the paint. I rarely lie, but my habitual actions when lying are indeed as he said. My mother has used this incident to judge the authenticity of my words for so many years.

A woman who gave birth to me, raised me, and loved me for nearly 30 years can conclude that there is nothing surprising. Xi Zhuo's accurate grasp of this pattern can't help but make me feel angry. Is it possible that I have been with him for so long, and there are other things I lied to him but I didn't know it?

"What about the studio?"

His demeanor did not show that he was eagerly waiting for my answer, but it gave me a sense of compulsion that I had to answer truthfully.

I took a deep breath: "Kang Siyao has encountered some trouble, I'm afraid I have to go back and deal with it."

Xi Zhuo threw the brush into the bucket, took off his gloves, wiped the sweat from his forehead, then stood there with one hand on his hip and looked down at me: "Why didn't you just tell me?"

I squatted on the ground and replied in a relaxed tone as much as possible: "I promised you not to leave, but I still can't let go of the studio, I feel like a jerk."

Xi Zhuo smiled, raised his foot and lightly kicked my lower back: "It seems that you and I have different definitions of not going away."

"Huh?" I looked up at him.

Xi Zhuo continued: "I hope you don't leave because I want you to treat this place as a home. Since it is a home, there is no reason to stick to it and not go out. Home is a place where you can come back at any time after you are tired from running around. Work still has to continue." of."

I stood up abruptly, and hugged the person who was talking with a smile on the corner of my mouth: "Then wait for me to come back."

Xi Zhuo shook his head: "I won't wait for you to come back, I will go back with you."

"Go back together?"

He sighed: "The company also has something that I need to go back to deal with."

The reality that the plan didn’t change quickly made us develop a style of acting that is good at adapting to the situation. We packed up our things and locked the door and left after we returned home. The speed was useless and we were already on the way to the airport in an hour. .

The driver who came to pick us up was a local, in his 30s, and very talkative. I couldn’t quite understand what he said to Xi Zhuo with a smile, so I focused on looking at the scenery outside the car window.

I quite like traveling alone with Xi Zhuo. There is no staff around me. It is very meaningful to handle a series of small things such as carrying a suitcase and a water glass by myself.

We almost slept all the way to our destination, and we woke up more than an hour before the plane was about to arrive.

Xi Zhuo asked me about the studio in detail, and I answered patiently.As for why there are high imitations of Kakang Siyao on the market, the reason is not difficult to guess.

It has been more than two years since Kakang Siyao was founded. There have been small disturbances and big disturbances. It has become famous just because of the scandal. Before it was recommended by Yan Yiyun, and later it was trusted by Xi Zhuo. It is already a self-made that cannot be ignored. brand.

It is not inconceivable that someone wants to imitate our clothing and earn a little money. On the contrary, I would say that this is an indirect proof of our strength.

If it is not good enough, who will imitate it.

"There are many levels of imitation in the clothing circle. It can only be seen that imitating the appearance of a gourd can't make a big difference. The scary thing is that those masters who imitate to the point where it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity. There are many professional clothing designers among them. All the data is restored, and finally the same design is synthesized and put into production, and then the real ones are used to achieve sales. Of course, if this is the case, it’s okay, I’m afraid it will be done by myself again.” At this point, I thought of Ji Ming, paused before continuing, “ But it is not ruled out that there is a problem in the garment factory, the current situation is that we do not have the energy to investigate the cause of the problem, but to solve all possible mistakes, so that we can get close to once and for all.”

At the end, I sighed with emotion: "Brother Zhuo, originality is not easy to do, in every industry, there are always some people who want to get something for nothing and steal the fruits of your labor. I can’t finish it, all I can do is walk my own path and try my best to defend what belongs to me.”

Xi Zhuo was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then first gave a proposal that completely matched me.

"Then set up your own factory, add complex anti-counterfeiting technology, and minimize the possibility of being successfully copied."

Xi Zhuo's words covered all the content of my plan for Kakang Siyao's brand upgrade again.

"Also, you lack a brand spokesperson." He slowed down his tone. "It doesn't mean that you must have a spokesperson, but I can tell you from my experience that if you have a spokesperson, the information dissemination is much more reliable."

In this era of traffic, even a bottle of soy sauce has its own spokesperson. The reason why Kakang Siyao’s brand spokesperson position is still vacant is not that I haven’t thought about it, but that I didn’t dare to let it go.I am afraid that the coffee you invite is not big enough to be effective, and it is a waste of money, and you are afraid that the coffee is too big and the cooperation will be unpleasant. There is no need to trouble.

Since Xi Zhuo mentioned this issue, I really put it in the list of things that should be prepared.

"You really don't plan to think about me?"

Xi Zhuo said before that he would speak for Kakang Siyao, and now he is telling me in a serious way that no matter whether he is serious or joking, I cannot consider him.

The relationship between two people seems to change the meaning when it comes to interests, I don't want the same between us.

"Brother Zhuo, I think there will never be interests involved between me and you." I looked at him seriously and said.

The plane has already begun to descend, and the feeling of falling makes my heart flutter. I am afraid that my words will make Xi Zhuo unhappy, so I hold his hand: "I hope you can understand me."

Xi Zhuo clasped my hand: "Because I understand you, I never thought of getting involved with you. Let me be the endorser. I don't care about small things. I keep your money to hire a high-level actress. Don't let me down."

I looked at his suddenly unserious face, and pinched his hand: "Who do you want to pick you up."

Xi Zhuo laughed and said, "It must be like Tang Jingli."

I joked: "If you invite a first-line actress, then I have to sell Kakang Siyao for money first, and I don't need any endorsements."

We talked and laughed until we got off the plane. When we walked in the airport, we knew that there were paparazzi taking pictures, but we walked at a very uniform speed.Xiao Gao and Jia Xiao, who came to pick us up, got out of the car to evacuate the approaching people after seeing us.

The topic of Xi Zhuo's return was already trending before we arrived home. Fans were very active and excited because they hadn't seen him for a long time, and the media even turned their attention to it.

Xi Zhuo deserves to be Xi Zhuo, walking through the wind, sand and silt will still give off heat and glow.Since he chose to show himself to everyone openly and honestly, love is also a part of him. He is frank and honest, and there is no reason why he should not be liked.

What is after the storm?

Still stormy.

What is amazing is not being able to escape the storm, but being able to stand up straight after the storm.

This is my man.

I in the living room asked him loudly in the bathroom: "By the way, brother Zhuo, how do you know my little habit of lying? I don't remember that I lied to you."

Xi Zhuo used four words to end all my frightening guesses.

He said, your mother said so.
