I really didn't want to be popular [entertainment circle]

The conflict did not escalate, and the matter of a pack of tissues was as peaceful as anything else.

It was not the first time that Su Zibo was taken by them. Since he came back to the dormitory to pick up his things, he found that he had nothing left.In addition to the few skin care products left, his clothes were also divided up, and some of them were worn on other people's bodies.

Su Zibo didn't want to worry about these things, just like this pack of tissues that he couldn't get out at the critical moment.Things can be big or small, but if you accumulate more, there will always be an outlet for explosion.

Here, the shooting in the afternoon was not affected and continued.Shen Youlan wanted to make an appointment with Xu Yiqing for a meeting, and Xu Yiqing still reserved his own opinion. If Su Zibo didn't want to, he wouldn't add any schedule to him during the retreat.

Shen Youlan has experienced many more negotiation failures than this in his career. Originally, this may not be something he needs to take to heart. There are so many artists in the world, and there are many replacements who have no schedule at the time. After all, there are still more than three months for him to go. try to find.

But he didn't know if he had fallen into a strange circle of thinking, but he also began to feel that there was no one more suitable than Su Zibo.

Shen Yulan returned to the shooting location. At that time, the last scene of the day was being filmed. Everyone still had some solo parts. The rest of the people who were okay needed to conduct short interviews.

"Let's put the content shot today as a sideshow video on each platform." Shen Youlan explained to the people on the scene.

"Yeah." Penny was still watching the original film, "It's so handsome, brothers, I knew the cover from the original film, and we definitely won this time."

"The covers of the European and Japanese magazines were released before the festival, and they are already on vacation at the foreign headquarters during this period." Shen Youlan covered her mouth with her slender fingers and thought, "But tomorrow there is an Online meeting with Editor-in-Chief Cao, and the draft must be finalized." , so work overtime tonight."

"Are you in such a rush?" Penny said, "That's right, Europe is on holiday, so happy."

"Speaking of which, are Lance's parents still abroad?" Penny asked, "Aren't they going back to China for Christmas?"

"Well, I spent this year abroad with my sister." Shen Youlan said, "I'm busy with work, and they don't want to bother me."

"Hey, what about the Chinese New Year? We're on holiday, so you can go and see them." Penny said.

"I won't have a vacation until June this year." Shen Youlan folded her arms and shook her head.

The two were chatting, and Su Zibo happened to pass by them, and Penny immediately stopped him: "Hey! Brother."

"..." Su Zibo glanced back, his physical strength had reached a critical point after a day of filming, and his speech and reaction were a bit slow, "...Huh?"

Seeing Shen Youlan and his eyes, Su Zibo regained consciousness a little, and asked, "...your clothes."

Shen Youlan changed his clothes a long time ago, everything was lacking in the studio, but there was no shortage of clothes. He changed into a white shirt, and he still wore his windbreaker jacket outside.

He raised his sleeves and said, "Did you find the tissue?"

"Yeah." Su Zibo took it out of his pocket, and the remaining paper towel lay alone in it, and handed it to Shen Youlan, "Do you want it?"

The moment she saw the piece of paper, Shen Youlan's forehead twitched non-stop, and she said in a stiff tone, "No need."

Su Zibo didn't know that several of his movements were bouncing repeatedly on Shen Youlan's lightning point, he squeezed tightly and said, "Okay."

After Su Zibo left, Penny had observed Shen Youlan for a while.

"Oh, I don't think you came here in this morning." Penny said from the side, "What happened, why didn't you go to shoot and change your outfit?"

"Stop this topic." Shen Youlan said coldly.

Penny laughed and closed her mouth.

After a whole day of filming and interviews, the five people were too tired to talk, and sat silently taking off their makeup.At this point, other studios had already closed get off work one after another, and everyone shouted "Thanks for your hard work". When there were fewer people, the sound in the studio seemed particularly empty.Clean up equipment, clean up equipment, makeup remover, tidy up.

The brokers left to do the rest of the business matching, and the others were sent to the car one after another to prepare to go home.After Su Zibo got into the car, it took Chen Jue a full 10 minutes to get into the car with an excited expression on his face.

"I heard the immediate feedback. It seems that the magazine is very satisfied with your shooting and hopes that we will sell it well." Chen Jue said happily, "Except for Su Zibo's evening class tonight, everyone else should be fine. ? Then drive the car directly to the dormitory."

"I have." Yan He raised his hand and said, "My mom is visiting me, I'm going to her hotel, I won't be going back to the dormitory today."

"Ah, is that right? Today?" Chen Jue said unexpectedly, "Didn't I hear you say that before?"

"They came very suddenly, so send a car or give me a taxi to find them after returning to the company." Yan He stood up and said to everyone in the back seat, "Brothers! I want to take a step first, let's go A word before, MarryChristmas!"

The atmosphere in the car suddenly became lively, and everyone wished each other a Merry Christmas.

"Merry Christmas." Huai Xing turned his head and said to Su Zibo, "Also, Happy New Year, I wish you success in the college entrance examination next year and enter a good university."

Although Huai Xing is an idiot, he is good at everything and can't be offended, but occasionally he is actually good to Su Zibo, and Su Zibo has no grudge against him, so he smiled generously: "Thank you, I wish you a happy new year."

He leaned back on the chair, thinking that after Christmas is a new year, he had a hard life in the past year, but he gained a lot, gained popularity and saw many different things, because he went to many places that he had never been to before. For the time being, he doesn't want to call these overnight hits, but he should... be considered a little bit popular, right?

But next year, I just want to earn more money after the college entrance examination, to be a serious idol, not to smoke, not drink, not to fall in love, to sing, dance and film, and that’s enough. When I earn enough money, I will go to the seaside to buy a big villa, and take my parents to take care of me. , that is the best ending.

A luxury ideal indeed.

At this meeting, Xiao Su is already thinking about how to retire.

There is one thing to say, I debuted at the age of 16, and it has been a full two years since my debut. For an ordinary trainee who has quickly accumulated a large number of fans after becoming an idol, and then participates in the most popular talent show C position before debuting, The past two years have been the smooth sailing that many people dream of.

Of course, the price paid is enough. Knee and spine injuries occurred at a young age, leaving home and being separated from parents. At the longest time, I didn’t see each other for seven months. I still need to spend more time on tutoring. Don't let outside voices overwhelm him, the more popular he is, the more pressure and challenges he has to bear, gossip, and countless eyes watching him.His life seems to have a full range of camera positions, and someone is watching his every move from morning till night.

In fact, Su Zibo can sometimes understand why Yanhe and the others hate him. Yanhe is one year older than him, and now he is studying music in a second comprehensive college. He debuted like him the year before, practicing singing and dancing. Reading, moving away from home, in Yan He's opinion, they put in about the same amount of effort, but Su Zibo got much, much more.

Yan He couldn't see what was behind him, so of course Su Zibo didn't bother to talk about it, and it was precisely because of this that these unspeakable words and desire to win and lose made them go further and further away from each other.

I grew up, went out for a stroll, but became sober.

There is no need to get close, just being yourself and keeping a distance as much as possible is what he has to do now.

……

"MarryChristmas, say hello to mom and dad too."

Shen Youlan pressed the glass door open with her long fingers, and the other party said: "Good brother, take care of yourself."

Shen Youlan responded and walked out of the office. Just as she hung up the phone, the phone rang again.

Christmas, overtime night, many people canceled their appointments and were hard at work in the office.But in order to cater to some festive atmosphere, a Christmas tree and a lot of gifts were placed in the lobby for decoration early on. At this moment, the warm and soft lights illuminated the entire interior, shining with dots of light.

He went to the front desk to look for the courier he had signed for, and while picking it up, he found that it was the intermediary who helped him manage the real estate before: "Hello, is there any news?"

"Yes, there is news that a tenant has found us, and he thinks it's pretty good, and he's ready to go through the formalities." The intermediary said, "We asked about the tenant in detail. He is an artist, and his agent came to us. They I have been looking for a house in this community, and there is no house available, so I can accept your offer."

Shen Youlan's house is a three-story villa left to him by his parents when they went abroad. He thought that although it was far away from the city, he could drive well, but on the first day he came back from renting a car, he was stuck in a traffic jam in the inner ring of the evening rush hour, and he doubted his life. Living alone in a three-story villa is indeed too spacious, and his scope of activities is only the refrigerator and the room.

So he resolutely rented a single room within one kilometer of the company, did not consider buying a car, and started walking to and from get off work every day.

This incident made Penny and other colleagues very puzzled: "I would rather sleep in a big villa in the suburbs every day and get up at 7000 o'clock and drive to work. I don't want to be squeezed into an old and dilapidated single room in the urban area that costs [-] yuan a month."

Shen Youlan persisted for two months, and someone asked him again: "Is your villa not available? Why don't you rent it out?"

Shen Youlan thought, yes, why don't I rent it out?

Most of the villas are rented out for commercial use in the community or for the second landlord to renovate the house. Shen Youlan is not willing, and finally decided to rent out half of the rooms according to the intermediary's suggestion, so that you can come back and live in the summer swimming pool. Private swimming pool and garden It's all what he likes. In this case, the rent is the same as the rent he rents out in the urban area. It's equal to the same, and he doesn't lose money.

That is, he raised a Bengal cat, which has just turned five months old, and he is unwilling to take it over to live in, because in that villa, the cat occupies a room by itself.

The cat has a high degree of freedom. Auntie goes to shovel and feed it every day or every two days. Shen Youlan goes to see it on weekends and sits with it to watch movies in the living room.

Before that, he had already screened out three tenants, and this one is now the fourth.

Shen Youlan is a bit of a clean freak, and she doesn't want the other party to have a strange job, and she also hopes that the other party can rent for a long time.

As an artist, these requirements can indeed be met.

"Do you know his name?" Shen Youlan asked the agent.

"I forgot... I remember that I was quite young. The reason I rented this place was that the security of the community was good. By the way, I didn't tell him that he might live alone. He also quickly agreed to other conditions." The intermediary said. , "I'll ask what his name is when I look back..."

Shen Youlan took the courier and was ready to go to the office. The intermediary said: "Ah, wait a minute, this document has his name on it, Su...Zi, Bo?"

"..." Shen Youlan's hand tearing up the courier paused, "What's it called?"

"Su Zibo." The intermediary said, "Do you know him? I've never heard of this name. Young people will like it more."

Shen Youlan stood in the corridor, the lights in the corridor were turned on, and she could see the lights on in the glass room on both sides. The glass was regarded as a whiteboard and filled with black pen.

"So, do I need to arrange a meeting with you, and you can review it again, or sign the document directly?" the intermediary asked.

"You don't need to meet, just sign." Shen Youlan lowered her eyes and continued to walk forward.

……

After nine o'clock at night, the only classroom with lights in the private educational institution was dimmed.

After sending people out through the gate, Su Zibo walked in the front. He stretched himself and heard Chen Jue talking to the teacher behind him.

"I think there should be no problem with the school exam." The teacher said, "But his ability to perform on the spot is still a bit lacking. In this case, we can only think more about it, and there is no shortcut."

"Okay, I will go back and tell you." Chen Jue said, "Come to disturb the teacher tomorrow, and you will give him guidance at that time."

"Of course." The teacher said, "Zi Bo is a good boy, so there must be no problem."

"Thank you teacher, goodbye teacher." Su Zibo bowed.

Chen Jue is like a male mother who picks up her children from school on the hour every day, caring about their children's daily life and arranging their studies and work.Compared with the agent, he also works as an assistant, which made the entire Xu Yiqing's economic team and even other brokerage companies feel that the industry is seriously involved.

"Here." Chen Jue handed him a drink, the red Christmas cup and the green brand logo, which looked quite festive, "Merry Christmas, I can't go out today, so I invite you to drink this."

"Thank you." Su Zibo bowed his head.

"I've worked hard today." Chen Jue said.

"Well, you worked harder than me, why don't you go back first, and I'll take a taxi to the hotel." Su Zibo said.

"No need." Chen Jue said, "Because you have to take extra cultural lessons tomorrow night, and you don't have much time. Before the supermarket is closed, why don't you go buy some daily necessities you need today?"

"..." Su Zibo's eyes lit up, "Is the house negotiated?"

"Well, I will sign the contract tomorrow, and I can move in right away." Chen Jue said, "Congratulations, at least you don't need to stay in a hotel before the New Year."

"Great!" Su Zibo's fatigue of the day was swept away, "Finally, I don't need to stay in a hotel! I'm going to stretch myself."

"But it may be a little troublesome for you to commute to and from work. It will be very close to the airport. After you finish the test, you can get your driver's license early." Chen Jue said, "Do you want to add something to your home? Although the house is well-decorated, There are all kinds of hardware facilities, but it seems that there are no permanent residents and no daily necessities.”

"It's enough to have floor heating." Su Zibo said, "I'm afraid of the cold, so feel free to do anything else."

"Yes." Chen Jue said, "I also heard something from the agent. He told me quietly. He said that although the landlord only rents out half a floor, he actually doesn't live there all year round, which is equivalent to You rented the whole big villa with this money. The landlord also paid for the cleaning fee of the auntie. That is to say, you rented a big villa with a courtyard pool and security for 7000 yuan, but the landlord said that you should help him take care of his cat , because his cat took up a room by itself."

"There's nothing wrong with taking care of the cat... This landlord isn't short of money, right?" Su Zibo said, "Is he here for charity..."

"It's time to meet a Bodhisattva." Chen Jue said, "After all, people who live there are either rich or expensive, and this house counts as our success."

Therefore, Chen Jue and Su Zibo took advantage of the fact that the supermarket was not closed to stock up on some daily necessities, and discussed that when Su Zibo went to class the next day, Chen Jue would sign the contract and move the things to his new home.

"By the way." Chen Jue and he said in the car, "Why did Shen Youlan suddenly call you to buy coffee today, what did you say to you?"

"Ask me if I can make an itinerary in April as an invited guest to watch the new product release catwalk, and I say I don't have time, and I will definitely focus on the college entrance examination." Su Zibo said, "I don't understand, why didn't I come to you directly for this matter But looking for me?"

"Did he discuss it with you? So that's the case. There is a high probability that Teacher Xu asked him to ask you." Chen Jue said, "During your retreat, Teacher Xu told you that you can only go to the activities you want to participate in. Just think about it for yourself."

"Really, Teacher Xu said it..." Su Zibo said, "Okay."

"So you rejected Shen Youlan?" Chen Jue said.

"Yeah, do you think I'm doing the right thing?" Su Zibo asked.

"How should I put it..." Chen Jue pointed at the steering wheel and said, "Cherry probably invited you at this time because someone temporarily changed the itinerary, and you went to make up for it. I guess it was because of some negative news? In fact, this opportunity is Very good, the only thing you lack now is fashion resources, Mr. Xu has always hoped that you would not accept too many endorsements, it is better to accept something that proves your worth. "Cherry" can help you open up the market."

"So for the company, it's really a loss if you don't go. But for the group, you haven't started a solo activity yet, and if you just invite you solo, there will be a lot of negative voices among fans." Chen Jue said , "Also, as far as the magazine is concerned, Shen Youlan didn't pry you for the first time, so she probably will look for you again."

Su Zibo's mind was full of "speaking words", and he didn't understand what he meant, so he stopped Chen Jue's words with a yawn.

"Sleepy?" Chen Jue said, "Okay, go back and rest, I will pick you up tomorrow."

"Yes." Su Zibo said.

"It's been hard work for a while, but it's going to be a little bit longer." Chen Jue said.

"Okay." Su Zibo was so tired that he cherished words like gold.

"Also." Chen Jue looked at Su Zibo and handed him his bag, "Although your teammates are older than you, they are immature in many aspects, so don't mind too much."

"It's okay." Su Zibo said, "I just need to take care of myself. If I want to run forward, I don't care if they run with me or not."

"Hey." Chen Jue said, "Okay, good night, Merry Christmas."

……

In the evening of the second day, after Su Zibo finished class, Chen Jue's car had already parked downstairs.

When I went back to the hotel with Chen Jue, Su Zibo's luggage was only two large suitcases, and it was hard enough to carry them out.It contained almost all of Su Zibo's belongings. Except for some daily clothes, he carried all kinds of small items necessary for travel every day as if traveling.

However, when he left the hotel with two huge suitcases, he waited downstairs for a few familiar illegitimate meals of Su Zibo every day, so he probably knew that he was going to move. When Su Zibo came out, he immediately followed him with his mobile phone and camera.

Some even had the guts to ask all the way: "Baby! Are you going to move? Where are you going?"

Su Zibo kept silent, pretending he didn't hear, and quickened his pace.

"We can find it wherever we move!" Another girl giggled.

Hearing this sentence, Su Zibo's scalp was numb from the laughter. He lifted up the black mask on his face, pretended not to see it, and continued to stride forward.

After leaving the revolving door of the hotel, there are even more people outside.They yelled Su Zibo's name, and some of them were daring enough to hit their faces with their mobile phones. Soon after Chen Jue checked out from the front desk, he found that Su Zibo rushed out of the crowd and got into the car. Fans shouted "Stop taking pictures!"

"Chen Jue is here!"

"Chen Jue! Chen Jue!"

"Chen Jue, mother loves you!"

Chen Jue stepped on the car door as he squeezed out, quickly adjusted his glasses and fastened his seat belt, stepped on the accelerator, and exhaled a long breath.

Then he patted the steering wheel and said, "I don't understand."

"It's alright if someone squats on you, but why is there still someone squatting on me?" Chen Jue said, "Chasing a manager and still loving me? Why?"

"I found that you are getting more and more irritable." Su Zibo put his hands behind his head on the pillow, "I remember when I first met you, you were not like this."

"What kind?" Chen Jue adjusted his glasses.

"Gentle." Su Zibo said, "Good tempered."

"Are you in a bad temper now?" Chen Jue was still angry, and kept checking in the rearview mirror to see if anyone was following.

"Okay." Su Zibo nodded, "Excellent."

"Because when I met you, I just became an agent not long ago. You know, I have been a fan of Teacher Xu for almost ten years. I can sing every song of Teacher Xu and memorize the lines of every movie backwards. So in Teacher Xu No matter how I work under my subordinates, I have to try my best to pretend to look normal."

Chen Jue raised his thumb and pointed behind him: "After working as a manager for a year, I realized that the world is full of wonders and there are all kinds of carbon-based organisms, which is really amazing, so go to his lover now, and I will take you all together." That's it."

"Hahahahaha—" Su Zibo covered his stomach and laughed.

"It's you." Chen Jue said, "You were not like this when you were 16 years old."

"What about me?" Su Zibo propped his head up and looked out the window.

"Very lively and cute, a little ADHD, clingy and bad-ass, not admitting defeat is written on his face, every time he sees something he likes, the light in his eyes overflows, and there is still a little baby fat on his face at that time." Chen Jue explain.

"Speaking of which, you like Teacher Xu, won't your boyfriend be angry?" Su Zibo asked.

"Worship is different from liking, and it will never be Mr. Xu who can separate me from my boyfriend." When Chen Jue said this, his tone became gentle, "He should be back from vacation these two days. , do you want to meet him?"

"No, if he knew that I liked you and was very attached to you when I was young, he would kill me." Su Zibo said.

"Of course he knows. I told him about you, and I agreed with him that it's not like you." Chen Jue said, "Don't worry, you will always meet someone you like in the future, kid."

"I can't fall in love even if we meet each other. I have the self-consciousness of being an idol." Su Zibo touched the water stains on the window with his fingers, "I'm already at peace."

Chen Jue laughed twice, and stopped the car at the red light.

"But I'm curious, do you simply like boys or...you can also like girls?" Chen Jue asked.

"I don't have feelings for girls." Su Zibo said, "Since I was a child, I thought that if I like girls, I should like the kind...a very powerful sister."

"Ah, you like mature ones?" Chen Jue said.

"Mature... Well, it's better to say that I like strong people. If she is stronger than me, I will regard her as an opponent and a target." Su Zibo said, "This kind of relationship will be more interesting, just talking about love, If the other party even keeps showing weakness to you, I will be disgusted."

"Are you falling in love or fighting?" Chen Jue said helplessly, "Those who think like you are really children. Children will rely on and have a good impression of their older people."

"Really." Su Zibo yawned, "Anyway, this is not what I'm thinking about right now."

"By the way, the contract is in the back seat." Chen Jue said, "Do you want to take a look? I will sign it this afternoon."

Su Zibo leaned over to get the contract from the back seat, and read it in his hand.

"There are two copies in total, the housing contract and the landlord's agreement. Just read the landlord's agreement." Chen Jue said.

The agreement is nothing more than what the intermediary said to them before, and it has been rewritten as a paper document.The house will be cleaned by aunts every week, but even so, I still hope to keep it clean and tidy on weekdays. The landlord has a cleanliness and tidying addiction.

Don't touch the flowers and plants planted by the landlord. If necessary, you can pick the vegetables and fruits planted by the landlord in the yard, but you can only pick the ones that the landlord has posted a "ripe" sign, and it is forbidden to pick and eat those that are not ripe.The landlord's yard may not be used for keeping other things that make any noise, such as birds.

There is a cat Gwen in the house, it has its own independent room, please do not go to its room, but you also have the right not to let it enter your room when it is patrolling the house.It's tame and you can pet it.

There is only one kitchen. The landlord doesn’t cook much and only uses the internal refrigerator and storage room. You can use any kitchen utensils and add what you need. Please keep it tidy and avoid oil stains...

A clause like this was written on a piece of paper, but it is reasonable and reasonable from the whole text, and Su Zibo can accept it.

It was six o'clock in the evening when they drove into the community, and it was already dark, but the lights in the entire community and the road signs guiding at night were very clear.

"It looks beautiful during the day, and the air in the suburbs is also very fresh." Chen Jue said, "It takes 10 minutes to drive from here to the airport. You don't have to get up too early to catch an early flight tomorrow morning. I will pick you up."

"Yeah." Su Zibo said, "I'm going to fly on the first day I live here...The next time I come back will be three days later."

"By the way, you don't have to say too much when they ask you about living here. I asked you to move out because I didn't want you to have conflicts." Chen Jue said, "I have a responsibility for your relationship... ..."

"It has nothing to do with you." Su Zibo pointed out the window and said, "Is this the building! It's overdone."

Chen Jue stepped back a little and stopped at the door.There is a small night light that is always on in the yard, which only illuminates the road leading to the gate, and only one corner of the yard can be seen.

"This yard is very big, you can enjoy it slowly in the morning light tomorrow morning." Chen Jue carried his suitcase, dragged it to the door and took a breath, "Here we are."

"The password is 1116." Chen Jue said, "Remember it."

"Hmm." Su Zibo said.

Entering the house, you can see the high-ceilinged lobby with white walls, the artistic chandeliers with black and white patterns, and the whole is minimalist and tonal decoration, which looks like a model room decoration.There were several black long-handled umbrellas with golden handles and cat heads placed diagonally at the door, other than that there was only a pair of men's slippers.

Chen Jue brought him slippers for him to wear. After putting them on, Su Zibo entered the room and looked around.

"How is it?" Chen Jue asked.

"There's no breath of life." Su Zibo said, "It seems that the master really doesn't come back often."

"If you're hungry, the kitchen is here." Chen Jue led him over.

The design of the kitchen is very warm. Next to a small door is a hollow wall above. There are suspended desktops inside and outside the wall, or a bar counter is more suitable.Wooden high chairs are placed on both sides, and the chair surface is Klein blue, which looks mysterious and outstanding in the whole space.

"By the way, the master said that you can still use this place." Chen Jue opened a door, and Su Zibo was stunned for a moment, because he saw a small room with some snacks, fast food and drinks in it.

"Snack cabinets, wine cabinets, and a built-in refrigerator inside. You can use them to your heart's content." Chen Jue said.

"This is so cool." Su Zibo sighed.

"Let's go, go upstairs to your room." Chen Jue said.
