nosy on you

Although I took a group of quite casual promotional photos for Mu Xue before, which was somewhat unremarkable experience, but the fashion magazines of big brands must enter the studio, and they also have a special way of serving.

Thinking of the dazzling spotlight and the staff surrounded by a room, he lost all confidence in an instant.

"Why not, your face is very photogenic..." Xu Rui is full of confidence, with a confident look, "D&L doesn't like to use professional models. Before the release of each season's new model, it will select suitable candidates from the applicants. , mostly school students."

"I hear you mean to compete with other people?" Yan Jing immediately retreated, "Forget it, there are a lot of good-looking and good-looking people, and people like me with mediocre qualifications are everywhere. Both."

He didn't like to compete with others since he was a child. He remembered that in high school, he won the first place in a mock test. The girl who always occupied the top spot in the class cried for several days because of it. Look at his There is hatred in the eyes.

The society is more cruel than the school. It's okay to lose the election. If he wins by chance, he might have to be beaten up to end the matter.

"You can rest assured that the opportunities are equal, and you must pass the audition..." Xu Rui said, "Unfortunately, I am not the person in charge of the brand, otherwise I will directly give you an internal appointment."

"I'm very decent, I don't accept unspoken rules..." Yan Yan pulled the zipper of his coat to the top, "Are you familiar with the manufacturer?"

"It's usually business dealings, so it's a bit of friendship..." Xu Rui continued to fire sugar-coated bullets at him, "I can be your referrer, anyway, it won't hurt you to try, the pay is good, I heard you can Give this number."

He raised three fingers, his eyes widened in surprise, and he blurted out, "Three thousand?"

"Your request is really low, it's [-]..." Xu Rui smiled, "If you have an idea, I can arrange it for you."

"Excuseme?" The rigor is unbelievable. You can earn [-] yuan by taking a few photos, which is more than half a year's salary. "There are so many, aren't you kidding me?"

In addition to buying gifts for Gu Xi, he was short of funds, what he urgently needed now was to earn money.

If he can save enough money as soon as possible, he can open a small shop with his aunt, and at least there is hope in the future.

The temptation was too great, and there was no reason to refuse it.

"But I have a condition..." Xu Rui raised his eyebrows, "You can't tell Gu Xi about this for the time being, firstly, to surprise him, and secondly, I'm also afraid that he might misunderstand me unnecessarily. "

After carefully thinking about it for a while, what he said was not unreasonable. The last time the quarrel was not very pleasant, if Gu Xi knew that the two of them had a close relationship in private, I'm afraid they would not be happy when they received the gift.

"Okay, I promise you." Nodding rigorously and straightforwardly.

"Then you can rest assured to wait for my news..." Xu Rui took out his mobile phone and sent a WeChat message, "I will let you know when the time is set."

The waiter brought the dishes to the table. There was no shortage of chicken, duck and fish, but the portion was pitifully small. At the beginning, he worried that if he ordered too much, it would be wasted. As a result, the contents of the huge dinner plate were not as big as a fist. Chopsticks can be empty.

After finishing this expensive lunch, he glanced at the corridor again when he went downstairs. There were two boxes with their doors open, but there were no customers inside, and a few waiters were cleaning up the mess.

After leaving the gate, Yan Jing originally wanted to go to the parking lot of the clubhouse, but he had just glanced at it, and he hadn't had time to remember the license plate number of the Mercedes, so wandering around in the parking spaces crowded with luxury cars is obviously not a wise move.

And he didn't want to arouse Xu Rui's suspicion, so he went straight back to the coffee shop.

"Xiao Yan, Brother Liang said that someone invited you to a big meal..." Huizi approached with a smile, "Is that the handsome guy who came here last time?"

"Well, I happened to meet on the road..." Yan Yan answered truthfully, "I was forced to eat with him once."

"You two are really destined, why is no one forcing me..." Xiaoxin asked, "Where did you eat?"

"It's the Garden Park at the intersection." Strictly sighed, "I don't understand why the business is so good. The plates are bigger than my buttocks, and there's not enough food to fit between my teeth. I'm not full yet."

Xiaoxin's eyes widened with envy: "I'll go, it's a high-end club that rich people can afford, of course it has to be stylish, you think it's a local restaurant in an alley."

"Do you know how much it costs to book a box there?" Yan Jing asked in a low voice.

"I have a friend who has eaten in the lobby..." Xiaoxin frowned and thought for a long time, "I heard that the minimum consumption of the box is at least three thousand. If you order a bottle of good wine, it is not surprising that you will spend tens of thousands."

Yan Jing stared at her dumbfounded, stunned for ten seconds, too surprised to speak.

Whether it is three thousand or tens of thousands, in his inherent cognition, it is hard to imagine that he can eat so much money for a meal. The life of the upper class is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people.

The reason why he asked this question was not to prove how high-end that club was, but to wonder what method his father used to become so successful overnight, and he spent such a large amount of money that he would entertain his friends there.

Of course, it is also possible that he was entertained by friends, after all, the middle-aged man next to him looks more like a respectable person.

If he could find a strong financial backer, why would he want to steal without shame.

Keiko answered the phone before leaving get off work, and she stopped Yan Jing just after changing her clothes: "Xiao Yan, my cousin asked you to go to practice driving in the afternoon. He said that there are not many students today, so you can have one-on-one tutoring."

"Okay, I can almost pass the first subject, and I haven't touched the steering wheel until I signed up." Yan Jing shied away several times before, and the coach seemed to be much more concerned about the driver's license test than he was.

"Then let's go together, it just happens to be on the way." Keiko pushed open the store door with her bag on her back.

When she passed the fountain square, she stopped suddenly, staggered and dodged behind the big tree next to the flower bed, and asked rigorously and unclearly: "What's the matter, are you being chased by usury?"

"No..." Keiko made a silent gesture, staring at the statue 50 meters in front of him, "The man who squatted in front of the store two days ago is him."

Rigorously following her gaze, he was stunned for an instant.

There was indeed a man standing beside the granite base of the statue, with a crumpled T-shirt and greasy hair. He could be recognized just by his decadent back. That man was Dad.

lingering...

"I left my phone in the store, why don't you go first..." Yan Yan said, "I just remembered that I have something to do this afternoon."

He didn't want to talk to his father about the messy things at home in front of Huizi. Yesterday was already embarrassing enough, but fortunately only Gu Xi could see it behind closed doors. Now it's on the street, and any disturbance would be ignored. It may attract a large crowd of onlookers.

"You just like to find excuses to be lazy, I don't think you will even think about taking a book for half a year..." Keiko waved his hand, "Okay, I'll take a detour to the bus station, it's better to stay away."

Twitching the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, he turned around and walked back. He stopped after taking a few steps. It is useless to escape. If Dad deliberately blocked him, if he didn’t meet him this time, maybe he should go directly to the store tomorrow. inside.

The rhododendrons in the flower beds are in full bloom, and the clusters of flower buds are dazzling red under the sunlight.

Although it was already March in Yangchun, when the gentle breeze was blowing on his body, he felt a chill down his back.

Yan Jing turned his head and glanced, there were not many pedestrians passing by at the moment, Keiko walked to the west of the square with a small step.

He took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly, repeated several times, and finally gave up his mind and walked straight to his father. Rather than sitting still and waiting for death, he might as well take the initiative to attack.

"Xiao Jin, why didn't you get off work..." Dad probably heard the footsteps, and immediately turned his eyes, with a daunting smirk on his face, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"Is there something wrong?" Looking at him rigorously, he asked in a cold voice.

"Let's find a place to chat..." Before he could reply, Dad grabbed his arm, "I'm treating you..."

"We have nothing to talk about..." Yan Jing withdrew his hand forcefully, and took two steps back, "I said I have no money to lend you."

Dad's smile froze on his lips, and his face sank: "I'm not asking you to borrow money. If you have other matters, if you are not afraid of your colleagues seeing you, you can just talk about it here."

"Let's go, there is a milk tea shop at the intersection ahead." Yan Jing quickly crossed the square.

He felt that he was very unpromising, and he was pinched by his father in a few words, but he would not compromise easily if he inherited a little bit of the "good genes" of the Yan family.

At worst, he would tear his face in public, anyway, he was not the only one who was ashamed.

The milk tea shop opened on the street side of the shopping mall. When the weather is fine, they would set up a few parasols and three small round tables beside the sidewalk. It was not yet four o'clock, and only a couple was throwing dog food wildly.

"I remember you used to love frozen lemonade..." Dad returned to the table with two cups of cold drinks, "It happens to be sold in the store."

Yan Jin gave a wry smile, and didn't reach out to pick it up. He rarely drank carbonated drinks since he was a child, and his father didn't even have enough money for breakfast. The one yuan bottle of soda in the school canteen was equivalent to a luxury for him.

My younger brother liked Dong Ningle very much for a while, but my father probably lost his memory, and he just felt extremely disgusted when he saw this glass of food in front of him.

"Let's talk if you have something to say..." Yan Jing turned his face away, not wanting to go around in circles with him, "I still have to go to practice."

"I haven't seen you for so many years. It seems that our father and son have become unfamiliar..." Dad sighed. Helpless."

"Because of helplessness?" Yan Jing raised his head and stared at him, "You're just talking about your helplessness."

"At that time, the efficiency of the brick factory was not as good as year after year, and if it continued, it would definitely lose everything..." Dad rubbed his nose, "I can only sell the assets to find another way out. Is it okay to send you to my aunt?" I hope you will follow me everywhere."

"Really, then I should really thank you for being so considerate of me..." Yan Jing was agitated, "You love my brother so much, why are you willing to let him suffer? Could it be that you can't even eat with me?"

He wouldn't believe a word of these excuses. The family's financial conditions were quite good back then. Even if it was true what his father said, a skinny camel was at least bigger than a horse, and it would definitely not be a problem to raise two children.

Why can he still speak so grandly when he is left alone.

"Xiao Jin, calm down..." Dad cleared his throat, "I came back this time to try to make up for it."

"Don't you think it's too late..." Yan Jing shook his head, "Thank you for your kindness, I don't need it."

"You child..." Dad paused for two seconds, and quickly suppressed his voice, "I know you have suffered a lot these years, Xiao Jin, come with me, and I will take good care of you in the future. "

Yan Jing opened his mouth wide in shock and remained silent for a long time.
