Green tea with green plum

Ji Yaoyao wondered if there was something wrong with her ears, but judging from the reactions of the people around her, it seemed that she had really been confessed?

But the other party was Xia You, she had no choice but to confirm: "You said, do you like me?"

"That's right." Xia You simply broke the can, "I just like you, because of you, this lady decided to come here to apply for the job..."

"Did you hear that?" Xia You was interrupted by Ji Yaoyao before she finished speaking.

The woman didn't look at her, but said to the HR who was watching the show, "This applicant is not suitable, so there is no need to interview her again."

"Why isn't it suitable?" Xia You felt unwilling to die before leaving school.

"Because office romances are prohibited in the studio." Ji Yaoyao turned her head to Zhou Qingyun, "Director Zhou, are you right?"

Zhou Qingyun didn't know when the studio issued such a regulation, but she certainly wouldn't take Ji Yaoyao's face off: "Miss Xia, please go back, this place may not be suitable for you."

In the silence, Xia You vaguely heard the sound of her heart breaking.

Of course she knew that this was just Ji Yaoyao's refusal, but she had no way to refute it.

hateful……

Xia You naturally did not give up, her eyes flickered, and she promised like an oath: "One day, I will let you see my sincerity."

Before Ji Yaoyao called the security guard, Xia You tactfully left by herself.

.

"You said that arrogant and domineering lady of the Xia family actually confessed to you?" Beside the steaming hot pot, Tang Ruoyun put the freshly cooked mutton in a bowl and dipped it in sesame sauce. She smiled, "Ji Yaoyao, You are truly blessed."

The first gathering of friends since the beginning of autumn, because Ji Yaoyao quit drinking, they didn't go to the bar anymore, but chose a mutton restaurant for dinner.

"Stop talking." Ji Yaoyao frowned, and sighed quietly, "Before she got my mobile phone number from nowhere, and applied to add me on WeChat a few days ago, but I still haven't dared to pass it."

When Ji Yaoyao and Xia You didn't get along in the past, Ji Yaoyao had a lot of fun fighting with others, but now the other party suddenly made a 180-degree turn, eagerly posting it up, which frightened Ji Yaoyao at a loss.

Ji Yaoyao put down her chopsticks, she didn't even bother to eat Little Sheep: "You said that she made a mistake in which muscle, and suddenly hated to love, don't this be another new way to disgust me?"

Tang Ruoyun couldn't answer, but Lin Mu who had been silent beside him said, "Miss Ji doesn't know what happened after the landslide last time?"

Ji Yaoyao looked blank.

It wasn't until Lin Mu explained that she didn't know what happened that day and night when she was trapped in the deep mountain.

It turned out that Xia You was there at the time, and after mistakenly thinking that she was buried in the mudslide, she tried every means to rescue her.

"She said that she is your friend, and she must not let her go."

Lin Mu's memory is very good, and he repeated what Xia You said.

Is that so?

Ji Yaoyao sighed softly, it was really strange, when she was alive and well, no one took her seriously.

Why did everyone fall in love with Jin Jian when something happened to her?

Having said that, Ji Yaoyao silently took out her phone and approved Xia You's friend application two days ago.

Half a minute later, she received a new message from Xia You, which was an emoji of a pink piggy leaning on the wall to peek.

Xia You: "Is it really you?"

Ji Yaoyao thought for a while, and then replied: "Yes."

Xia You asked again: "What is sister doing?"

elder sister……

Ji Yaoyao always felt weird when Xia You said this title, and then she remembered that Xia You seemed to be two or three years younger than herself.

Ji Yaoyao suddenly regretted her decision to pass the friend application.

She hung up on this message for a while before replying with one word: "Busy."

Ji Yaoyao is not just perfunctory, after this meal, the next time I have dinner with friends, it will probably be a few months later.

Without him, because Ji Yaoyao decided to join the group!

Not into a group acting, but as a director.

Thinking of this, Ji Yaoyao asked the waiter to bring a bottle of rice wine, poured it into a small cup and held it up: "Come on, come on, I'm going to cast a role in a short time, and then the TV will start filming again, I hope that during the days when I'm not around Here, Xiao Lin can continue to take care of the company's business, and Old Tang, you must take care of her for me."

This set of scenes is what Ji Yaoyao saw her father say when she was a child, and she said it unequivocally.

Tang Ruoyun was too lazy to talk to her: "Are you really determined to make that movie? Are you not afraid that you will be too tired?"

Ji Yaoyao shook her head like a rattle: "No, it's just a modern youth drama. It's much better than I used to stay up all night filming costume dramas, and this novel is my white moonlight work. I can't find a suitable director. It’s fine if I do it myself.”

What Ji Yaoyao was talking about was the book "Cicada in Midsummer" that she read not long ago.

The company decided to remake this novel, and the total cost was about 1000 million. It was not easy to hire a good director after leaving aside the various expenses such as salary, labor and setting.

Ji Yaoyao was reluctant to let this book be ruined, after much deliberation, she volunteered and decided to have a director's addiction.

She studied in the Department of Acting at the beginning, and in the four years of college, she ran a lot of film crews. In order to complete the homework assigned by the teacher, she even made a micro film. Ji Yaoyao tried to read the script for this novel, and felt that she might not be better than those Poor professionalism.

Listening is a brand-new film and television company that hasn't cultivated its own director yet, so Ji Yaoyao being the first to try it might be a temptation.

Ji Yaoyao hit it off with the company and took over the drama.

From now on, she is Director Ji, and Ji Yaoyao can't wait to announce to the whole world that she is the happiest book fan in the world.

Among other things, she must carefully select the role of Sheng Lie, her favorite male second, to choose the most suitable one.

Ji Yaoyao did what she said, and after the drama "Cicada in Midsummer" was officially approved, she found people to audition with great fanfare.

Not only did she find the actor herself, but Ji Yaoyao also went around the acting academy, and finally found an actor who fit her ideal role as the second male lead——Sun Mao, a freshman in a certain film academy.

In fact, Sun Mao is not Ji Yaoyao's favorite actor, the most popular actor in her heart is Guan Yi,

But since he is a popular niche, the total cost of the production crew is not enough for him to pay for one episode. Besides, no matter how much money there is, Guan Yi is following the movie route, and it is impossible to sacrifice his body to make this kind of youth idol drama.

Ji Yaoyao could only look and sigh, and found a substitute who was somewhat similar to him, Sun Mao.

It's good to make do with it, Ji Yaoyao comforted herself like this.

In addition to her director, the crew also had several assistant directors, so it didn't take too much time to choose a role.

It's just that Ji Yaoyao didn't expect that she could see Xia You in this kind of place.

Moreover, the other party was wearing a baggy school uniform, combed her long hair into a ponytail, and when she appeared in the audition room, Ji Yaoyao couldn't help her temples twitching.

However, Xia You auditioned for the role of the vicious third girl on TV, and she fit so well, it made people feel that this role was hers.

Ji Yaoyao hurriedly made an excuse to answer the phone and took her out.

She took Xia You to a corner: "What are you doing here?"

"Come to audition." Xia You looked innocent, "Am I not suitable for this role?"

Ji Yaoyao didn't want to hear what she said: "Don't come here to make trouble, we are serious about filming, not playing games."

"But I'm really serious." Xia You said, "Sister, don't worry, I'll be on the set, and I'll do what you tell me."

She promised again: "And I'm very cheap, I can play as a friend for free."

Oops, hearing the word "free", Ji Yaoyao was a little moved.

Only when I become a director myself can I know how wasteful the budget is. Even though she is the third female lead, she still needs to start with a six-figure salary. If I can save such a sum of money...

Even though she knew Xia You's motives were impure, Ji Yaoyao couldn't help but hesitate.

Besides, Xia You really fits well with the character of the third female character. The crew doesn't allow the actors to come in through the back door, and they can't let the actors in through the back door.

Having said that, Ji Yaoyao still didn't agree to Xia You: "We'll talk about it after you pass the audition first."

In this audition, Ji Yaoyao didn't make her own decision, but let the assistant director decide the candidate for the third female lead.

A few days before the start, Xia You's name suddenly appeared on the cast list.

Well, Ji Yaoyao notified the accountant, and the budget can be saved again.

.

After a lot of intensive preliminary preparations, the TV series "Cicada in Midsummer" will officially launch in three days.

Tonight is the kick-off banquet for Zhang Luo of the crew. The actors and staff members, big and small, are here. As the chief director, Ji Yaoyao can't be absent.

Amidst the compliments and congratulations, Ji Yaoyao took the stage to give a speech for the opening banquet.

Before coming here, Ji Yaoyao knew that there was such a wave. Ji Yaoyao specially prepared a speech. She just hoped that in the next two months, everyone could work together in harmony and friendship, and jointly produce works that satisfy both the audience and the capital...

The people in the audience also gave her face, and the applause clattered loudly.

Ji Yaoyao was overjoyed by the crowd, and felt in a trance that she had already won the Oscar for Best Director, and she would thank CCTV in the next second.

Until the door of the hall was suddenly pushed open, surrounded by bodyguards, a woman in a light stone-colored suit came in.

The originally lively hall suddenly became silent.

After all, Gu Yun's domineering posture never needs to be restrained, which inevitably makes people feel timid.

She glanced at Ji Yaoyao's direction as if she didn't know where she was, and immediately sat down under the guidance of the bodyguard.

Ji Yaoyao didn't expect Gu Yun to appear here suddenly, and her voice faltered for a while, but fortunately, everyone in the audience was not thinking here, and no one noticed her gaffe.

It wasn't until Ji Yaoyao forced herself to finish a speech that the scene gradually warmed up.

Before leaving the stage, Ji Yaoyao realized that her palms were sweating in the October sky, and she asked the assistant director: "Why is she here?"

The assistant director probably guessed who Ji Yaoyao was asking, but was rather puzzled: "Director Ji doesn't know that the female lead actress in this play is a member of the Gu family, and she should indeed attend the opening banquet."

It's just who Gu Yun is, a busy person with a lot of things to do, no one thought that she would really come, and it was such a big scene when she came.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ji Yaoyao, as the chief director, naturally cannot ignore this so-called partner.

In order to conceal the panic in her heart, she casually picked up a glass of red wine, walked up to Gu Yun and politely said, "Mr. Gu, long time no see."

Ji Yaoyao couldn't remember when the two met last time.

It has been so long that Gu Yun's face in her memory is a little fuzzy, but now the real Gu Yun appeared in front of her eyes unexpectedly, and the fragments in the corner of her memory seemed to be collaged back to their original shape in an instant under the trend of some force, nailing Ji Yaoyao in place land.

An imperceptible embarrassment suddenly appeared in Ji Yaoyao's heart.

Although her current glory seems to be achieved by herself, she may not be able to completely break away from Gu Yun.

For example, the cooperation with Zhou Qingyun, the broad horizon and conversation, and the attitude of strategizing...

Now that Gu Yun showed up, Ji Yaoyao was like a monkey wearing a monkey crown, standing in front of a real person, she was made to feel ashamed.

Gu Yun was also looking at her, and it took a long time before he stretched out his right hand: "Miss Ji, it's been a long time."

Ji Yaoyao hastily stretched out her hand to shake hands with her.

Probably because he just came in from the outside, Gu Yun's hands were very cold, with a hint of coolness.

Her five fingers with sharp joints are also incompatible with Ji Yaoyao's soft palm.

I don't know if it was Ji Yaoyao's illusion, but at the moment of separation, Gu Yun seemed to subconsciously clenched her hand, as if reluctant to let go.

Ji Yaoyao's hand trembled, and the red wine in the glass couldn't help rippling out, and a few drops of bright red wine spilled on the back of her fair hand.

"Sorry." Ji Yaoyao hurriedly put down her wine glass, apologizing for her gaffe.

Just as she was looking for a tissue, she handed it over with one hand, with a concerned tone: "Sister, are you okay?"

"Xiayou?"

Gu Yun couldn't help squinting her eyes slightly, looking at the person who appeared next to Ji Yaoyao.

Xia You didn't hide it, and greeted her with a smile: "Hi, sister Gu, what a coincidence, I haven't forgotten to wish you a happy wedding."

Ji Yaoyao paused as she wiped the wine, and said, "Yes, Mr. Gu was newly married not long ago, so he forgot to say congratulations."

As soon as these words were spoken, the people around also echoed their congratulations to Gu Yun.

Gu Yun's eyes gradually cooled down, turning into coldness like crushed ice, but unfortunately Ji Yaoyao didn't notice, but Shi Shiran sat down in her place.

Beside her was originally the position of the assistant director, but he was not there, so Xia You, with her little tail, came over and sat down, took a unused bowl and chopsticks and picked a shrimp into the bowl, peeled it clean and put it in Ji Yaoyao's bowl.

She has been observing for a long time, Ji Yaoyao likes to eat shrimp, but she is too lazy to peel the shell.

Gu Yun took everything into her eyes calmly, and she said coolly: "I don't know, when did Miss Xia have the habit of serving people?"

The second she heard Gu Yun's voice, Xia You was subconsciously afraid.

But soon thinking that Gu Yun was married, Xia You gained confidence, she looked straight at the past, and refuted Gu Yun like never before: "This is not serving people, it's taking care of people, doesn't Mr. Gu know? Sister Ji likes to eat shrimp. "

One mouthful and one sister, it was extremely harsh in Gu Yun's ears, even a little provocative.

What makes Gu Yun even more uneasy is that she really doesn't know what Ji Yaoyao likes to eat.

When they were together in the past, Ji Yaoyao always took care of her tastes more, she didn't seem to pick anything, and Gu Yun never carefully observed what she liked.

Now the feng shui turns, and it's Ji Yaoyao's turn to be taken care of carefully, Gu Yun seems to have become the past tense of being out.

She couldn't help pinching the fingers holding the teacup, and looked at Xia You like a torch.

It was a courteous gesture of handing paper and peeling shrimp, how could Gu Yun not see her thoughts.

Besides, as far as Gu Yun knew, Xia You joined the group because of Ji Yaoyao, but Ji Yaoyao agreed.

Thinking of this, Gu Yun's eyes darkened, and he took another look at Ji Yaoyao.

She seemed to really like shrimp, so she dipped a whole shrimp into the dipping sauce, put it in her mouth and ate it slowly.

How did Gu Yun know that Ji Yaoyao was so nervous that she didn't know how to react, so she had to eat shrimp to relieve her embarrassment.

When Xia You saw that she actually ate the shrimp she peeled, she immediately enjoyed peeling it even more.

Gu Yun finally couldn't hold back anymore, and said again: "Miss Xia's parents know that when you came to the film crew, you made a special trip to peel shrimps for others?"

At the moment, Xia You's all attention is on Ji Yaoyao, she didn't hear the faint chill in her words, she retorted without thinking: "Of course it's not just because of this, because I like Sister Ji, and in order to pursue her, I chased after her to the crew. , Mr. Gu doesn't even understand this, does he?"

Xia You spoke frankly, and everyone around her was not surprised.

After all, starting from the reading of the script, Xia You said a lot about this, and now the whole crew knows why she came here.

In this tense battle, everyone here is doing what they should do, watching their noses, noses, noses, and hearts, and no one speaks out.

Except Ji Yaoyao became alert.

She could feel Gu Yun's undisguised hostility towards Xia You.

That's right, even though Gu Yun is married and has become Mrs. Zhuang, after all, she had a dark past with herself. Even if the relationship is gone, due to possessiveness and selfishness, Gu Yun probably can't tolerate it. Xia You is such a blatant existence.

With Gu Yun's status and means, it is too easy to deal with Xia You.

But their crew will start filming in a few days, so Ji Yaoyao put down her chopsticks and sat down straight: "It's just a child talking nonsense, Mr. Gu doesn't have to take it seriously."

She didn't even move her head: "Xia You, quickly apologize to Mr. Gu."

It seemed that he was teaching Xia You a lesson, but his tone was distinct but distanced.

It sounds like she and Xia You belong to the same country, while Gu Yun is just an outsider.

Xia You pouted aggrievedly, but still lowered her head following Ji Yaoyao's words: "I'm sorry, Mr. Gu, I accidentally offended you..."

Gu Yun was so stuffy in her heart that she couldn't come and go, she couldn't help Ji Yaoyao's affection, so she didn't say anything, but just gave Xia You a serious look.

During the dinner, another actress bravely stepped forward to toast Gu Yun, and it was Tian Xiaxia, the heroine's number one.

To be honest, Tian Xiaxia didn't expect Mrs. Gu to come tonight. After all, for a young actor like her, she always only hears her voice but doesn't see her. As a subordinate, Tian Xiaxia is the number one The reaction is that I dare not see the boss.

It's not like Tian Xiaxia has never heard of nonsense, Mr. Gu's resolute methods and picky taste. He is afraid that he will offend others if he is not careful.

But the big boss is here, if Tian Xiaxia doesn't come forward to pay respects, I'm afraid it won't make sense.

She is a fledgling newcomer, facing Gu Yun with a strong aura, her hand holding the wine glass can't help trembling: "Gu, Mr. Gu... Let me toast you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Tian Xiaxia shook his hand, almost spilling half a glass of wine on the lapel of Gu Yun's suit.

It's over, facing Gu Yun's cold eyes, Tian Xiaxia couldn't help but gasp.

As a director, Ji Yaoyao also has a headache.

What's going on, why are the artists of this show not worrying about competing with each other.

She didn't care about the quarrel between herself and Gu Yun, and hurriedly stepped forward and took the little girl behind her: "Mr. Gu is fine, I happen to have some clothes in the car, let's go change first."

With a gentle tone and a smile in his eyes, but there is a layer of politeness behind him, which is no different from how others treat Gu Yun.

Gu Yun lowered her eyes: "Okay."

.

The RV was prepared by Ji Yaoyao out of her own pocket for filming. She is not short of money, so there is no need to suffer from the wind and the sun.

Although it is not too big, it is already very happy to have a bed that can lie on it.

Ji Yaoyao opened the closet and picked out a black windbreaker for Gu Yun.

Turning around abruptly, the two almost bumped into each other in the small space.

Ji Yaoyao subconsciously took a half step back.

Gu Yun took her guarded posture into her eyes, her eyes were clearly a little cold, but she still took the coat calmly and put it on: "Miss Ji, don't worry, I can't do anything for you."

She is so red.Nakedly speaking, it was Ji Yaoyao's turn to feel embarrassed: "Mr. Gu is too worried, I didn't think about it."

"Really?" Gu Yun took advantage of the opportunity to pull away the dining chair at the bar next to him and sat down, "Why don't we talk?"

Ji Yaoyao had no other choice but to sit down on the edge of the bed and listen to what Gu Yun wanted to talk to her.

As expected of Gu Yun, it's just a conversation between two people. She can still assume the posture of negotiating with people in the mall, crossing her hands and fingers on the table: "I know what you are worried about, but don't worry, I will The reason for coming here is because the company does have plans for further development in the entertainment industry."

Gu Yun shouldn't need it, Ji Yaoyao breathed a sigh of relief for no reason, she nodded: "I will cooperate with Mr. Gu."

Gu Yun's voice paused, and after a while, he only said three words: "That's good."

She really didn't seem to have anything more to say to Ji Yaoyao, after a few simple words, she got out of the car.

At some point, Gu Yun's black Bentley had already parked outside, the car body was glowing with cold black, like a beast lurking in the dark night.

Ji Yaoyao sent the person to the car, and casually said something to persuade her to stay: "Mr. Gu really won't go back and sit for a while?"

"No need." Gu Yun said lightly, "Those who are already married should go home earlier."

Ji Yaoyao was taken aback for a moment, then nodded numbly: "Oh, that's good, see you again, Mr. Gu."

The car sped out and disappeared from sight in a blink of an eye.

A gust of cold wind was blowing, it was a bit cold in the winter night, Ji Yaoyao wrapped her coat tightly and walked back.

.

The shadows of the neon lights outside the car flipped, and Gu Yun's expressionless face was reflected in dark and unclear colors.

Different from her calm face, she kept replaying the expression on Ji Yaoyao's face when she said the last sentence in her mind.

There are stunned and surprised, but there is no slightest jealousy and unwillingness.

It seems to have really let go.

Gu Yun rubbed her forehead, leaned her head back on the pillow, her brows were involuntarily frowned.

How can I let go...

God knows how much effort she spent restraining herself in order to maintain that calm posture, how could Ji Yaoyao let it go so easily?

Any business, any cooperation, it's all lies, it's just a show that retreats to advance.

Gu Yun's only purpose has always been her.

She closed her eyes, and began to recall every detail of her performance tonight, one by one, whether there were any mistakes.

Fortunately, Ji Yaoyao believed everything she said was true, and she didn't leak any flaws.

Only when facing Xia You, Gu Yun shouldn't lose his composure because of such a trivial character, Ji Yaoyao couldn't possibly have taken a liking to Xia You, but she was just pretending to be affectionate.
