red dust under the lamp

Ning Jue put on her lipstick in front of the mirror, leaned against the sink and took a look at herself. Due to the lack of sleep due to excitement, her eyes were deeply circled, but they were not ugly, and half of them were covered with a little powder.

Boss Kong was looking for her a few days ago, and now she came here on her own initiative, with a special product from Pingdu, nothing more than sauce, vinegar, tea, dried fruit, things with needles and threads, she couldn't get it out, she thought carefully for a while, and then set out to look for it. Boss Kong's way.

In the past, it was always by car, but now she goes, feeling a little impatient.

I just don’t know how Boss Kong understands it.

After drinking for three rounds, Boss Kong said, "I heard you went to night school? What did you learn?"

"computer."

"Computer... oh, it's interesting, a computer? A typist?"

Boss Kong called typing on the keyboard as playing on the computer. Ning Jue thought about it, but as a beginner, it was really hard to explain.

So I bypassed it: "Whether I can learn well or not is still a question, but the procedures are troublesome. I have to go back to my place of origin to stamp to prove that I am a Chinese citizen..."

"No wonder, you missed the premiere. We all went, reporters and media, and met many people from the cultural circles. It's a pity." Boss Kong said.

I don't know what this means.

When Ning Jue came to find her, it was the second day after it was released. Fans of Ning Jue authorities couldn't see the artistic value of the film, and they didn't know whether it would make money or not. She was a puppet in the hands of Boss Kong. She uses her brains.

"It's a good thing I didn't go, otherwise, if someone like me went, it would be embarrassing for you." Ning Jue said.

"For someone like you, if you avoid it, there will be many more opportunities like this in the future, and you have to face it."

"In the future? Boss Kong, what do you mean in the future? I read your autobiography. Haven't you finished the parts with the heroine?" She pretended to be ignorant and ignorant, and asked innocently with her eyes wide open.

"Are you really not understanding or are you pretending not to understand?" Boss Kong didn't like this.Ever since he saw Ning Jue at the Keller Nightclub, he didn't believe that she didn't understand these hidden rules, these transactions between eye movements, and unexplained words, he didn't believe that she didn't understand Ning Jue.

Just pretending not to understand, it was still a joke, there is a slope to go down, and it would be shameless to pretend to continue.

Ning Jue reversed the wine glass, lowered her head to stare, and raised her eyes slightly: "What do you want me to understand?"

Boss Kong smiled, raised his arm and took her wine glass to fill up: "What do you think?"

Pushed the question back and forth.

"I don't understand." Ning Jue played charades with him, her eyes rolled, showing her intelligence.

"What do you not understand?"

"Boss Kong, please clarify." Ning Jue raised his glass, "You invested in the filming and cast the roles yourself. I look like an old friend of yours, so you came to me. After the filming of the film, you also watched it. You are very satisfied with the film. "

She paused, Boss Kong didn't say anything while smoking a cigarette, and raised his hand to signal her to continue.

"I'm in the film, and I'm your friend. If you leave the film, look at me, who is it?"

Halfway through the smoke, the soot fluttered, Boss Kong said, "You are very similar to her."

"Okay, then treat me as her... Boss Kong, if she sits here, what are you going to do with her? Marry her? Make her a star?"

These words are really unflattering, how dare she compare herself to someone else's first love, and say this brazenly?

"Boss Kong, I'll just say it straight. I don't want to make a movie, and I don't want to be a star like those girls. You want to make that movie, and I agree. I promised you, not you giving me alms."

"I don't know how to flatter you!" Boss Kong suddenly dropped the ashtray—the man's roar echoed throughout the private room. Ning Jue sat where he was, was really taken aback, and then laughed.

She is really afraid of people talking to her in a hidden way, she can't fight, the last thing she fears is people yelling.

"I'm such a person who doesn't know how to praise. I have big feet and big shoes, and I was able to make this movie. I was walking on the road and the pie was smashed. You are holding this pie, and you are worried that no one will smash it? I'm explaining to you—"

Before she finished speaking, Boss Kong pulled out his wallet: "How much do you want?"

Ning Jue was stunned, and his mind suddenly became confused for a moment.

She wanted to make it clear first, express her appeal in everything, and don't beat around the bush.Then she wanted to express that she would never be his first love—before she finished speaking, Boss Kong misinterpreted her meaning, and before she even had time to take out her passbook, the problem rose to the level of money.

She suddenly understood what Xu Liwen meant when he said "money is all about money", she folded her arms and wanted to laugh, but it was a bit of a mockery when she laughed, Boss Kong should be involved in the gangsters, she should be more careful.

So she became sincere: "Boss Kong, you gave me 10 million, and I said the same thing. I didn't pretend to be arrogant in front of you and said that I wouldn't sell it. What kind of clean person could I be if I could go to the Keller nightclub and pretend to be a lady? I sold it. Of course I want to sell it for a good price, and you gave me a lot, [-] yuan. But I know who I am."

Boss Kong looked up at her, and she said: "I know you are a successful person, a big boss, young and handsome, and you have a lot of girls who fall in your arms for a serious conversation, let alone me. But I know what you want , I really wish I was, but as I said, if you have big feet and big shoes, you don't have the skills, and you can't get a golden job. I acted in this movie, and I know that I can't do it... It's not that I'm not afraid of you, I am I am afraid that you will be disappointed when the time comes, and in turn, you will be tossed and delayed..."

When she complimented others, she put on a ladylike demeanor and her voice was soft and soft.

Boss Kong said: "You are like her in this way, very much like her."

"Who wouldn't want to be your woman? But any woman with a bit of brain has to find a way to jump in the line to take a shot. I'm afraid you won't like it if you're a step too late. Also, you want to use this movie to make people stars, shoot Advertisement, on the show, all the women in China will have to crowd to Nancheng to see your eyes."

This compliment made Boss Kong laugh: "Don't say it's useless."

Once you start laughing, there is room for turning around. Ning Jue strikes while the iron is hot: "You must say, Xiao Ning, why didn't you fart earlier? Why did you go earlier? The filming is over. Isn't it a shame to kill a donkey and not show conscience? I also I thought about it, but I didn’t know you at that time. I heard that you were very powerful. You were the mayor of Nancheng. Isn’t he also your friend? How did I know Boss Kong was a good person? I was worried every day if I refused , The next day the police arrested me and sent me to prison, what should I do? I also know you now, and know that you are reasonable and not an unreasonable rogue, so I said this..."

Boss Kong was silent for a moment, Ning Jue observed his words and felt that Boss Kong was very fond of this, so he spit out the last words: "But now that the movie is filmed, there is no turning back when I started. I made a mistake. What can I make up for you?" What? I simply brought over 10 yuan, which I carry on my body every day, and I dare not go to the toilet standing or sitting..."

She spoke so pitifully that she was almost in tears. She was so wronged that she took out the passbook, wrote the password, and put it next to the wine glass.

There is still half a glass of white wine, and she squeezes it up: "How about I drink to apologize?"

Boss Kong sighed: "How long have you thought about this?"

"Only four or five months."

Boss Kong choked for a while, and waved his hand: "Think it over, if you go out through this door, if I seize the opportunity you lent me to go to someone else's place to shoot a movie—"

"I know the rules, I'm not star material - I just work on the computer and do housekeeping."

"I don't like to force people-you go away, it's no fun. Timid, not like her."

Boss Kong waved his hand, Ning Jue gulped it down, and pushed the passbook forward as if flattering, but Boss Kong pushed it back impatiently, she hurriedly lowered her head to pick it up, she was so trivial as to die, like a maid who just finished washing her master’s feet , walked out of the box backwards.

At the door of the box was still the fragment of the ashtray left by Boss Kong. Ning Jue went out and called the waiter to clean it up.

10 yuan, if you don’t take it for nothing, Boss Kong wants face, and she wants face.

She is really talented as an actress, she understands the character's heart clearly, and deliberately does the opposite, she is wretched and cowardly, timid and pretends to be bold, she can't bear hardships, and she is greedy for small things Cheap... After such a performance, Ning Jue reflected that the image he showed was probably a bit of a true character.

Whenever Boss Kong is a bit difficult, she has to ask Xie Yichen for help.

However, she figured out Boss Kong's heart was not a day or two, just like gambling, she actually won the bet.

She cheered. In fact, she was right. When she was confused at first, she was a little afraid of Boss Kong. In the end, she didn't know why she made that decision... The world is always chaotic.

The new rental house that she had found before was finally moved out. She finally packed up and moved, packed the released things into the few luggage again, put them away, and called the moving team of the housekeeping service company to come early the next morning. The employees of the company have such small benefits.

There is nothing left in the room, but there is a hard board bed with a spring mattress lying across it, and cotton sheets are laid casually. Xie Yichen was lying here with her last time she came.

Rarely, she was alone again, thinking silently, laying herself in a big character, letting the dusk approach, and finally the night came, like a thick quilt, covering all the light.

Late for night school... She got up slowly, feeling lazy for the first time, because she had no distracting thoughts so she had time to get up lazily, and turned on an incandescent lamp beside the bed.

In an instant, countless dusts were suspended under the light, flying around in silence.

The dust that is not noticed in the light is attached to the mattress, in the hair, around the lips, the corner of the cabinet, and the ceiling-it is lifted up brilliantly the moment the light is turned on.

Human beings swallow these invisible dust all the time.

Ning Jue's shadow was cast on the opposite white wall, shaking, and finally stabilized.

The back of her hand was scratched by the broken spring of the old mattress, and the blood seemed to be late, and it took a while for it to ooze from the whitish wound.

Sucking on the back of her hand, Ning Jue picked up the materials she was going to hand in at night school and went out.

When I opened the door, it seemed like a long time had passed.

It was already early the next morning when he opened the door again, and Ning Jue came in and looked around, but there was nothing left behind.The chug from the pickup downstairs went straight to the roof, like a tractor whining like an old dog.

"Can't the company send me a better car? It's like a tractor..."

The driver poked his head out: "Because you don't have much luggage, don't look at this old car, it's durable. Don't look down on tractors, they were talking about converting tractors into tanks back then!"

"This car isn't bigger than you, is it?" Ning Jue threw the backpack onto the co-pilot and closed the door.

The pickup truck drove away suddenly, and Ning Jue looked out the window. The lively look made the driver laugh: "How old are you, and moving makes you so happy?"

"What I am going to is not a new home, but a new life."

"Sour gas."
