Reunion [entertainment circle]

In the backstage of the TV studio, Ji Ran was bored playing with his mobile phone and waiting to go on stage. The little assistant went to help him buy coffee from a certain shop he had designated to drink. He was the only one left in the resting dressing room. He sent WeChat to tease Shen Yaoxiang, but the other party didn’t respond, and he didn’t see anything interesting when he checked Weibo and the web. He looked up at the clock hanging on the wall. It was more than half an hour before he came on stage. , so more depressed.

Today is to participate in the recording of a platter-style celebration party. In fact, Ji Ran has no interest in such an announcement, but Say said that it is good to increase the exposure rate, so he dragged him to participate, but at this moment he ran away Without a shadow, Ji Ran's patience is almost reaching its limit.

Standing up and stretching, Ji Ran opened the door and went out to go to the bathroom, but just after she walked out, she was attracted by the intermittent voices coming from the lounge next to the door which was not closed tightly.

"Just let you go. Why are you talking so much nonsense? Can you still lose money if you go? Serving those bosses is happy, and there are fewer benefits?"

"Don't worry, it's just to accompany you to drink and eat, and no one will force you if you don't want to."

"Get ready, a car will pick you up after the performance in a while."

It was a large lounge, filled with [-]th-line young artists who had just debuted, and the one who was talking was a director of a TV station, with a small nose and small eyes and a wretched face, Ji Ran knew him and knew this Ren is a well-known "pimp" in the circle, who specializes in introducing some fresh and tender meat of small stars to those big patrons and big bosses to reap benefits from it.

He curled his lips, not interested in listening any more, and strode to the toilet.

I hid in the cubicle and smoked for a while, and it seemed that someone came in from outside again, washing hands and talking at the same time.

"I heard that Yaoxing's big boss is the host tonight. He has invited quite a few investors, so he specifically asked more people to accompany him."

"...It's good to be able to follow Yaoxing's boss. It is said that he is handsome and young, much better than those old men and women."

"Just think about it, how can people value you."

"Come on, how do you know if you don't try it? Besides, he was also rumored to be having an affair with a man some time ago. Although none of us is as famous as the Little Heavenly King, we are no worse than him in appearance. Maybe Boss Xia is just as good as me."

"Hey, just dream."

Hearing the ambiguous voice of giggling outside, Ji Ran frowned, and didn't come out of the cubicle until those two people left, and stood in front of the sink for a while, until the remaining cigarette butts were about to burn his hands He extinguished it fiercely, closed his eyes, and went out the door.

Stopping Xin Chen's director in the corridor, Ji Ran raised his eyebrows: "Director Chen, take a step to speak."

The other party was very polite to him, not only because of his high popularity, but also because everyone knew that Xu Cheng was his godfather and dared not offend him, so as soon as Ji Ran opened his mouth, he followed Ji Ran into the lounge very cooperatively to go alone say.

Ji Ran didn't make any detours, and asked him straight to the point: "I just heard that you asked those people outside to accompany the big boss for dinner at night?"

"Uh...that's what happened..."

"Is Yaoxing's Boss Xia also there?"

"……Yes."

"Count me in, and I'll go too."

The other party was surprised when he heard the words: "You want to go too?"

"What? No way?" Ji Ran smiled: "Does Director Chen think I'm not as good as those outside?"

"Of course not..." The other party was very embarrassed. In fact, he was concerned about the relationship between Ji Ran and Xu Cheng. He was afraid that Xu Cheng would find out and misunderstand him.

Of course Ji Ran knew what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, this is my own idea, and I will never cause trouble for you."

******

Say didn't come back until Ji Ran finished singing two songs and stepped off the stage. Ji Ran became annoyed when he saw him: "Where did you go, I was bored to death by myself just now."

Say is also not in a good mood: "I'm not helping you to get resources for the little ancestor. I helped you continue the TV series before, but you insisted on acting in that movie and pushed it. Now it's all right. Director Deng doesn't want you at all. I If you don’t find other jobs for you, are you going to sit at home and drink the northwest wind?”

Ji Ran took the coffee that Li Li had bought and gulped it down, nonchalantly: "Stop contacting those who will not die of hunger."

"What a big tone," Say snorted. "If you don't take advantage of your young face and have the capital to do more, I'll see what you will do in the future. You are so lazy, I'm afraid it will be difficult to support your family in the future."

Ji Ran waved his hand indifferently: "At worst, I'll change my career. My family runs a bank, and the most they have is money, and I don't lack what I earn."

"Just blow it up." Say chased him away: "Go, change your clothes, we're going back."

Ji Ran smiled, no one believed what he was telling the truth, so he didn't bother to say any more, took his own clothes into the dressing room to change the costumes for the show.

After changing his clothes, Say took the things in his hand and was about to leave, but Ji Ran stopped in his tracks: "Brother Say, you and Lily go back first."

Say looked at him suspiciously: "Aren't you going back?"

"Ah," Ji Ran said nonsense casually: "I saw a friend just now, and I will go have a drink with him after he finishes work."

Say didn't suspect him, and told him not to drink too much and not to run around, and took Li Li away first.

An hour later, seven or eight men and women were picked up by the director Chen and climbed up to pick up the car. They were all surprised when they saw Ji Ran in the car. Ji Ran was wearing sunglasses to cover half of his face and had earphones on. Ting Ge ignored them at all, Director Chen smiled awkwardly, and motioned for them to sit down, without further explanation, he ordered the driver to set off.

There were eight people who went together, including Ji Ran, three men and five women. Except for Ji Ran, all of them had played a few small supporting roles in TV dramas or sang a song or two that the public couldn't even name. N lines, the only thing they have in common is that they all look good and have a strong desire to be superior.

The car drove for half an hour and stopped at the entrance of a five-star hotel. The crowd followed Director Chen in, went upstairs, and waited outside for a while. Someone came and took them into a luxury box.

There were five or six people in front of the big round table in the magnificently decorated box, all of them were men in suits and leather shoes, and all of them were talking and laughing happily. Ji Ran glanced at them and silently spat in his heart, scum.

That director Chen led a group of people forward with a smile, and introduced them one by one to those big donors, all of them boasting hype. , when it was Ji Ran's turn, he even boasted a lot, and Xia Mo, who had a bad face since Ji Ran came in, frowned at the moment, as if he was very unhappy.

Director Chen arranged for a few people to be seated, and dispersed among those people. Taking advantage of the time when those people were getting to know each other and talking, Xia Mo, who had never spoken much, called them to his side, and asked displeasedly, "Ji Ran? coming?"

Director Chen explained with a bitter face and lowered his voice: "He said he would come, but I can't help it..."

Xia Mo didn't ask any more questions, but shifted his gaze to Ji Ran who sat down opposite him and was talking with the people next to him. Seeing him talking and laughing at Yan Yan, his heart felt like a fire, and he was extremely unhappy.

Today's banquet is his treat. He invites these investors to discuss the financing and construction of the film city. It is not easy for these people to ask for small stars to accompany him. Although he does not like such things, he is not surprised, so it is called This director Chen found these people for him, anyway, it was just to accompany him to drink and eat. As for what happens next, that is their own business, and he is not responsible, but he did not expect to see Ji Ran here.

He couldn't guess why Ji Ran came here, but he just wasn't happy to see him on such an occasion, as if his things were thrown out in front of the public, which annoyed him.

And Ji Ran has never looked at Xia Mo since he entered the door. He specially chose a seat farthest from him to sit down. Beside him was an old man in his forties who looked at him with a big belly and a swollen face. Looking at him with a straight expression, he poured wine for him attentively, and showed his yellow teeth with a smile: "Heavenly King Ji, right? I know you and I often see you on TV. My daughter likes you very much."

While talking, one hand wanted to touch his thigh irregularly, Ji Ran avoided it without a trace, raised his glass and clinked the glass with him, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Boss Zhang, for your appreciation, I toast you this glass."

The salty pig's hand didn't touch it, the old man was unwilling, moved his body towards him, and stretched out his hand again, Ji Ran secretly rolled his eyes, and was about to pour wine on his face, and was about to take action, when Xia Mo opposite suddenly Shen Sheng said: "Xiao Ran, come here and pour me wine."

The few people who were talking and laughing at the table were stunned for a moment, and the fat old man was even a little embarrassed. Ji Ran glanced at the expressionless Xia Mo, smiled, got up and walked over, sat down next to him, and poured it for him. liquor.

Xia Mo took food for him and reminded him softly: "Eat more, don't say you are hungry again at night, if you don't like these, I will ask someone to make you what you want."

Ji Ran looked at him, and the smile in his eyes deepened: "No, it's enough."

A few simple sentences are equivalent to telling everyone present that Ji Ran belongs to him. Even if other people have the heart, they will give up their thoughts at this moment, and it's not good.

Seeing that Ji Ran began to eat obediently with his head down, and stopped emitting hormones, Xia Mo finally heaved a sigh of relief.
