Eat this toad [Entertainment]

The dinner will be held in the Golden Lily Hall of the hotel.

The decoration of the banquet hall combines Chinese and Western styles. It is elegant and magnificent, with a wide view, and you can have a panoramic view of the nearby canal and the night view in the distance.

One hour before the start of the dinner, Xie Zixin came to the banquet hall to check the completion of the preparations.

After patrolling to a dining table, Xie Zixin stopped, looking at the mat sign on the table and frowned.

"Where's the seating chart?" He turned around and asked the staff following him, "Why is Su Jinjiang's seat here?"

The person in charge of the hotel thought there was a mistake, broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly took out the seat chart to check, "Oh, that seat originally belonged to Liang Zijie. After he stopped coming, he was replaced by Su Jinjiang. It was originally for Su Jinjiang. The location arranged by Jinjiang is relatively remote, too far away from the rostrum, we thought it would be better to adjust it this way. We asked the organizing committee for instructions, and the organizing committee replied that it can be adjusted this way.”

Xie Zixin raised his eyebrows slightly, but didn't say anything.

The seats of Su Jinjiang and Bai Pu were arranged together, but this cannot be said to be the staff's mistake.These two people have never had any rumors of discord, and they are both from the "Hongmeng" crew, and occasionally have some interactions on the Internet.People who don't know the outside world may think that the relationship between the two of them is not bad.

The assistant hurriedly stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Every table is full now, why don't you ask Su Jinjiang to change seats with which guest at another table?"

Xie Zixin thought for a while and said, "Forget it." It took a long time to arrange the seats of the guests, and carefully considered who would sit with whom.If you move one or two, you have to move several times, and it will be even more troublesome if you make a mistake in your busy schedule.

"There will be media at night, so you can watch this table a little bit." Xie Zixin whispered to the assistant.

"Understood." The assistant nodded.

In fact, Xie Zixin was not worried that Bai Pu and Su Jinjiang would make a big move.The conflict between the two has never been brought to the surface, and neither of them is the impulsive type of Liang Zijie.On such occasions, even if enemies meet, they will pretend to be generally passable on the surface.

But in general, the thoughts in my heart will inevitably not be revealed through the details.Whether there will be any micro-expressions and small movements between the two people is hard to say.The eyes of the media are very bright, and they like to search for unknown gossip in places where various celebrities and entertainers gather.If there was an embellished report such as "a certain artist and a certain artist met and played big names at the film and television festival dinner", it would seem that he was not a good organizer, and he couldn't even arrange a seat properly.

It was still early, Su Jinjiang took a shower in advance and changed into clothes for the dinner.In a sleek and slim black dress, paired with a spotless white shirt and bow tie, the person in the mirror looks perfect from every angle.

Although his fitness plan has only just begun, it is already paying off—psychologically.Muscle soreness after exercise will give people a sense of spiritual satisfaction, making people think that their body has begun to improve.

This kind of self-suggestion can make people more confident.After many people gain strong and beautiful muscles through fitness, their temperament is also different.

Wei Tan helped him straighten his bow tie again, looked at it carefully, and said, "Tighten the abdomen a little more. Even if you have abdominal muscles in the future, you'd better develop the habit of tightening your abdomen as much as possible, and your figure will look more straight."

"Oh." Su Jinjiang slightly adjusted his posture and looked in the mirror, "How is it? Tell me, do I have an aura of [-] meters?"

"I didn't see it." Wei Tan refused to cooperate.

Su Jinjiang hastened to forcefully pull the respect, "It's okay, it doesn't matter. It's not 18 meters, [-] centimeters is also good."

Wei Tan stopped talking.

"Why is the sound muted?" Su Jinjiang asked, "Are you shocked, or are you looking forward to it?"

"Neither of them." Wei Tan said, "I was wondering how you became so poor now."

"Actually, I've always been like this. I used to be suppressed by nature. When I was at home, I wanted to talk to someone, but no one paid any attention to me."

"Don't pretend to be pitiful to gain sympathy." Wei Tan stood up two steps away and looked at him, confirming that there was nothing more to adjust, "Sit down for a while, and go downstairs in half an hour."

"Just stand first." Su Jinjiang looked at the dress on his body without any folds, "Sit down to avoid wrinkles."

"Yeah." Wei Tan seized the time to make up for him, "After the dinner, there may be media interviews on the spot. If you are interviewed, answer their questions generously and try to answer them as simple as possible. The simpler the answer, the less likely it is to make mistakes. If Questions raised by the other party are more likely to cause controversy, and your answer should be ambiguous, and don’t give the other party a chance to make use of the question.”

"Got it." Su Jinjiang wrote down his words.

"If you don't want to answer the other person's question, but you can't avoid it, just look at the other person and say 'I haven't considered this question', and then politely look away. You are still a newcomer now, even if you behave a little jerky Understandable."

"Okay." Su Jinjiang smiled, "You are almost becoming my housekeeper."

Wei Tan thought for a while, and there was nothing worth paying attention to. "In case you encounter an unexpected situation that you are not prepared for, you can deal with it according to your own ideas. Your ability to adapt is very good, and you can behave normally."

"Then, what if I suddenly can't control myself and want to kiss you?" Su Jinjiang leaned over to kiss his face, "Can you behave normally?"

"Use your mind." Wei Tan looked serious.

Su Jinjiang burst out laughing, "Honey, I really like you more and more. From now on we will live together, even if we don't do anything, just bickering with you is enough for me to enjoy the whole day. I have to often put If your function is upgraded, I will have something to play with."

He stretched out his right hand, clasped his fingers, pretended to hold the microphone and handed it to Wei Tan, "Excuse me, what do you think about the fact that your boyfriend is smarter than you and handsome, and crushes you with his aura a hundred times a day?" of?"

Wei Tan glanced at him, and politely replied: "I'm sorry, I haven't considered this question."

"May I ask you to avoid it because you are shy?"

"No. I never think about problems that don't exist."

The banquet hall is brightly lit.The guests in costumes were ushered to their respective seats, and the guests at the same table smiled and greeted each other and nodded.

Bai Pu arrived first, glanced at the seat ticket next to him, his expression changed slightly imperceptibly, and he greeted Xie Zixin's uncle in his heart.

He felt that Xie Zixin must have done it on purpose.Others didn't know that he was not dealing with Su Jinjiang, but it was impossible for him, Xie Zixin, to not know.Leaving aside the competitive relationship between him and Su Jinjiang, let's just talk about that time, when he and Su Jinjiang took Xie Zixin's car back to the city, his expression was a little ugly from the moment he got in the car , Xie Zixin must have noticed.

Just sitting in a car, the atmosphere is so awkward, and now the two of them are even arranged at the same table.Could it be that Xie Zixin deliberately wanted to use Su Jinjiang as a contrast to him, so that he would pale in comparison under the lens of the media?

As soon as this idea came out, Bai Pu was stunned.Why did the word that popped up subconsciously in my mind turn out to be "dwarfed by comparison"?

It's a tmd joke, how could he be dwarfed by an [-]-line low-down guy?If you want to talk about contrast, it is also him contrasting with Su Jinjiang.The kind that has never seen the world...

Just thinking of this, other guests at the same table also took their seats one after another.When Bai Pu looked up, he saw Su Jinjiang.

Su Jinjiang had just thanked the usher, and was talking to a guest next to him, with a calm elegance, as if he was born for such an occasion.Although he doesn't have the brilliance of a star yet, he already has a magnetic field close to that of a star.

For a moment, Bai Pu suddenly felt a little dizzy.

Is this person still Su Jinjiang?Is it still the submissive Su Jinjiang on the set of "Hongmeng"?Thinking back carefully, since when did he start to change?

It is of course possible for people who are used to low self-esteem to become confident, but that transformation requires a relatively long process.Because you need to break the safe zone you built in your heart and contact the outside world with a new attitude.From low self-esteem to calmness, there is a long way to go.

Some people go astray and become rampant pathological egomaniacs who try to put others down for false self-improvement, like internet trolls.Those who have not gone astray also need to go through a long period of trial and error. If they are not careful, they will extend their tentacles beyond the limit and be hit, causing their inferiority complex to rebound again.

The reason why Bai Pu knew so clearly was because he came here like this and observed many other people.

But why can Su Jinjiang change so quickly?

The explanation Bai Pu could think of was that Su Jinjiang was not a person with low self-esteem from the bottom of his heart.His inferiority complex is more like a disguise: he puts himself in a relatively disadvantaged position, thereby reducing the aggression he brings to others, making himself look harmless to humans and animals, and avoiding being attacked prematurely.But now that the time is ripe, he has gradually gained the strength to resist the attack, so he quietly took off the protective clothing and returned to his true self.

For some reason, this thought made Bai Pu very angry.Along with the anger came that familiar anxiety.He suddenly felt that he had lost: from the very beginning, he had targeted the wrong opponent, chosen the wrong way to strike.A person who doesn't really have low self-esteem in his heart will not shrink back because of a blow, but will use the opponent's attack to test the boundaries of his own strength.

From the beginning to the end, he was wasting his time fighting the imaginary enemy, and Su Jinjiang was just using him to level up.

Su Jinjiang also saw him, and nodded to him while sitting down.

Bai Pu pulled the corner of his mouth a little stiffly.He felt that his habitual "catfish face" seemed to appear again, so he quickly concentrated on controlling his expression.
