The heart of the pretender is sincere

After Minglou persuaded Der Spiegel to invite the Japanese to the press conference, Lingxi became even busier. She hadn't touched the ground for many days. Since it was the first time to do various process details, she needed to make decisions on many things in person, and she would follow suit at any time. As the press conference approached, for rehearsals, she took her assistant to the Shanghai Ballroom every day, often staying for most of the day.

Lingxi is in the Shanghai Ballroom right now, and she is having a headache right now. Her main show model, Chen Xuanyu, has been in mourning for the past two days. It seems that something has happened to her, which made her unable to show the queen-like appearance she needs due to her absence from work. Domineering, she frowned and waved her hand to indicate that the rehearsal was suspended and let everyone go to rest, and then pulled Manager Liu, who was connecting with them in the ballroom, to the small sofa in the corner to understand the situation, "What's wrong with Chen Xuanyu? She hasn't been in the right state for the past two days."

Manager Liu is a middle-aged man in his 40s. He usually deals with people and things in a smooth manner. He sighed and looked around to make sure no one else was around, so he said in a low voice, "Ms. Chen had a quarrel with our boss recently. And it was very noisy, our boss dropped a lot of things early this morning, I don't know exactly what happened."

"Ah?" It is well known that Chen Xuanyu is the girlfriend of Mr. Qin Sanye, the owner of the big Shanghai ballroom. Lingxi instantly imagined the [-]-word love-hate relationship between the domineering president and the top female star, "Why are they two?" Don't you ask if you quarreled?"

"I don't dare to ask that. That's our boss. I don't think it's too late." Manager Liu curled his lips, "How about I bring Miss Chen here, and you can ask her yourself?"

Lingxi thinks about it, too, let's forget about it in private, who dares to gossip with the boss openly, "Then help me find Miss Chen."

Manager Liu nodded and called for someone to go, and Chen Xuanyu came over after a while, "Manager Li, call me."

"Miss Chen, sit down." Lingxi looked at Chen Xuanyu in front of her. She was 165 in height, and Chen Xuanyu was a lot taller than her, about 170. Putting on a pair of high heels, there was a touch of style in the atmosphere, dignified and charming, relaxed In modern times, it is definitely a top-notch configuration that can be salty and sweet.

"Miss Chen, you have been very absent these two days. I hope you can adjust yourself and not delay work because of feelings." Lingxi is very annoyed now. She feels that she has no potential to be a confidant sister, and she does not want to join Chen Xuanyu The love-hate entanglement with Mr. Qin, so she decided to do business, but she couldn't help but soften in the end, "If you have any unhappy things or encounter any difficulties, you can also say it Let's figure it out together."

Chen Xuanyu actually likes this girl in front of her very much. She is young, beautiful and from a good family background. She looks clean and has no worries. This is what she admires but cannot have. The most rare thing is that she has never looked down on them, a group of singers and dancers. They are all gentle and polite, and treat everyone equally, "You heard about the quarrel between me and the third master, right? I have nothing to do with the third master. Don't worry, it won't affect my work. I can make adjustments soon."

"That's good." After Chen Xuanyu said that, Lingxi felt relieved, "I hope you can restore your original state and get back to the confident you you used to be, and you don't need to use honorific words when talking to me , You come and you make me feel like I'm 50 or [-] years old."

Chen Xuanyu smiled, "Manager Li, you are really a very cute girl, there must be many people who like you and love you."

Lingxi shook her head, "It's not a good thing to be liked by many people. You should be very clear about this feeling. Are there any extreme fans among your fans, even those who want to make troubles just because of power and power? ?”

Hearing that Chen Xuanyu is silent, isn't it just the powerful so-called fan Mr. Zhou who wants to get her by relying on his power? This is also the reason why she quarreled with the third master. She knew that the third master would protect her if he said it. It's just that she doesn't want the third master to offend anyone for her. She's just a showgirl. It's really not worth it for the third master to do this for her, and she suddenly feels a little depressed, "I won't hide it from you, Manager Li I did encounter some things recently, and I would suggest that it would be safer for you to replace me with someone else."

"Don't." Chen Xuanyu's words startled Lingxi, "Ms. Chen, I first took a fancy to you before I chose the Shanghai Ballroom to hold my press conference, so don't let me go after you're done. Ah, I can't bear the blow."

"Isn't it because the Qin family and the Ming family are family friends?" Chen Xuanyu was a little dazed, and felt that she seemed very important for the first time.

"There is this relationship, but I first saw your photo in the newspaper, and because you are Qin Sanye's employee and his girlfriend, so I went to Qin Sanye, did he tell you? , It is written in the contract I signed with him that he must guarantee that you can participate in this press conference as the main show model unless I replace you, otherwise if you cannot participate due to non-objective reasons, you will have to pay ten times the compensation of."

Chen Xuanyu was stunned. The third master didn't tell her about this matter, and now the third master disagrees with her to attend the press conference because of Mr. Zhou's affairs. What worries her is that Mr. Zhou will become more and more famous by then. She didn't even want to let go, and she was moved for a while. The third master was willing to offend Mr. Zhou for her, and he was willing to pay ten times the compensation for him.

Seeing that Chen Xuanyu hadn't spoken for a long time, Lingxi suddenly started tearing up, "Miss Chen, are you okay?"

"It's okay, thank you, Manager Li, for telling me about this matter, I will adjust my state, and I will definitely not let you down." Chen Xuanyu suddenly felt that she could have such a bosom friend in her life, even if they would never be together because of the disparity in status She is also very content, as long as she attends the press conference well, and then moves into the place designated by Zhou Fohai according to Zhou Fohai's request, so as not to cause trouble to the third master, that is the biggest thing she can do for the third master.

Ah Cheng has always remembered the matter of dating, but it has been raining a lot recently, and it is too cold and humid outside to go out, so this matter has been put on hold until late November when Shanghai finally ushered in a sunny day. The temperature has also picked up significantly compared to before, making it a very suitable day for dating.It's just that the weather is right, and Ah Cheng can't find his date again. Lingxi, who has been out early and comes back late recently, has difficulty seeing her. It's rare that my elder brother didn't want to go to work in the new government office this afternoon, so he sat at home and read the newspaper. He simply came to the Shanghai Ballroom to find someone in the name of helping the eldest sister deliver things.

Ah Cheng came to Lingxi holding an exquisite box containing a crown that Lingxi personally designed according to the eldest sister. Lingxi was sitting under the stage watching the girls' rehearsal effect. After chatting with Chen Xuanyu in the morning, she came I found my own state, and the effect of the show was very good.

Ah Cheng found himself sitting next to her, and Lingxi didn't notice him, his eyes were fixed on the stage with a look of undivided attention, so he deliberately sighed and made a sad look to attract her attention, "Miss Li Very busy."

Lingxi, who heard the voice, turned her head and found that Ah Cheng was sitting on the sofa next to her, looking at her with burning eyes. She was a little surprised, "Brother Ah Cheng, why are you here?"

Ah Cheng pushed the box in his hand in front of her, "I'm here to deliver something to you, and by the way, let's take a look at what you, a busy person, have been up to recently."

"Yes, I've been very busy recently, but I'll be fine after I've been busy for a while, and then I can stay at home until next year's Lantern Festival." Lingxi smiled and opened the box, revealing the exquisite crown When she came out, the glittering appearance of crystals of various colors under the light immediately attracted everyone's attention. This one was the finale of her press conference. The girls who were waiting for the rehearsal all looked here quietly. , if it wasn't because of his identity that he didn't dare to go forward, otherwise he really wanted to touch this shining crown. From ancient times to the present, almost all girls have no resistance to this kind of shining jewelry.

"Aren't you going to try it yourself?" Seeing that Lingxi just asked the assistant beside him to call Chen Xuanyu, Ah Cheng stopped moving, "I think this crown will look good on you."

"Me?" Lingxi looked at Ah Cheng's expectant face, and casually put the crown on his head to show him, "Does it look good?"

Ah Cheng got up and came to Lingxi and pulled her up, carefully adjusted the angle of the crown for her, let out all the long hair pinned behind her ears, and combed the long hair behind her head with her hands Shun, "It's very beautiful. Lingxi, you were actually too plain in the past. Although you are also very good-looking, you are actually very suitable for such a gorgeous and colorful beauty."

At this time, Chen Xuanyu and Qin Sanye came hand in hand, "That's right, Manager Li is young, and can withstand any bright colors, unlike me, but when I get old, I can't use any brighter colors."

"Why are you all like my eldest sister, trying to put a lot of color on my body, don't you think that if there are too many colors, I'm like a peacock with its tail open, it's very ostentatious." Lingxi frowned and looked at Ah Cheng and then looked again. Looking at Chen Xuanyu, I found that Ersan actually had a tacit understanding while lowering his head and laughing, "You are not allowed to laugh, I am telling the truth, isn't it?"

As for Third Master Qin, Lingxi is not familiar with Third Master Qin, she thinks that it is a bad idea for Third Master Qin to look up and turn his eyes sullenly. He can make everyone happy if he wants to, but Third Master Qin is more casual, he never cares about the opinions of the people around him.The Qin and Ming families are family friends, so Ah Cheng and Mr. Qin also knew each other. The four of them greeted each other and sat down on the sofa.

"Miss Li really looks good wearing this crown."

In the past, Qin Sanye, who rarely communicated with Lingxi except for the necessary communication, took the initiative to praise her, which made Lingxi very uncomfortable. She took off the crown on her head and put it back in the box, then pushed the box to Chen Xuanyu, "Thank you, Mr. Qin, for your compliment. This crown is designed for Ms. Chen. I think it will look better when Ms. Chen wears it. Ms. Chen, hurry up and try it."

"Designed for me?" Chen Xuanyu couldn't believe it.

"That's right, and this is just a sample. For the real products, these crystals will be replaced with gemstones of the same size, and they will be brighter by then." Lingxi took out her sketchbook from her bag. Knowing how to draw some manuscripts and record some of her own inspirations, she took out the earliest design drawing she drew and handed it to her. It was Chen Xuanyu wearing a crown and looking back at all living beings with a smile, "Look, I was Seeing your looking back, that's why I came up with this crown inspired by the design. The poem said, only the peony is really beautiful, and the flowers move the capital when it blooms, which is what you looked like at that time."

Chen Xuanyu took the sketchbook in Lingxi's hand, looked at herself in the drawing as if she was shining brightly, and then looked at the beautifully packaged box in front of her. Inside the box was a girl's heart. Just like duckweed, she has no foundation and can only go with the flow. Now she has a third master Qin who thinks she can fight against Zhou Fohai, and Li Lingxi who compares her to a peony. Warmth from a stranger, "Manager Li, can this painting be given to me?"

"Okay." Lingxi removed the drawing from the sketchbook and handed it to her. This notebook is held in a big clip and is easy to disassemble.

Chen Xuanyu took the painting in Lingxi's hand. In the painting, she turned her head and squinted into the distance. She couldn't remember when she had such eyes, but it didn't affect her current good mood. "Manager Li, let's go Rehearse and try it on with this crown."

"Yeah, okay." Lingxi gave Ah Cheng the sketchbook and everything, and then went to the stage to rehearse with Chen Xuanyu hand in hand.

Ah Cheng looked at the backs of the two girls, and looked at the things in his hands, but he could only resign himself to helping her put them away, while Qin Sanye looked at Chen Xuanyu on the stage. She became a singer at the age of 16 and became famous at the age of 18. Now The 28-year-old seems to have never been so hopeful, and the light in her eyes can't be concealed. Now she is really beautiful when she wears this crown.

Qin Sanye felt that he should reconsider his decision. He didn't want Chen Xuanyu to continue to participate in this press conference because of Zhou Fohai's intervention, but seeing how she was shining now, he couldn't bear to fight Breaking her off, he knew for the first time that a girl doesn't have to be weak and weak like a dodder flower, but can also bloom her own brilliance openly, just like the girl from the Ming family said before, only the peony is really beautiful, and the flower It's time to move the capital, he thought, maybe on the day of the press conference, these two girls might really want to move the capital.

There is a link in the design of Lingxi's press conference, that is, Chief Ming personally leads Chen Xuanyu, who is the finale, to the stage. Before this link, Lingxi himself or Manager Liu did the positioning. Now that Ah Cheng is here, Lingxi will naturally pull It's just that Ah Cheng's aura is milder than Minglou's aura. In the end, Chen Xuanyu pulled Third Master Qin to play.

As soon as this person is changed, it is really suitable. Manager Liu and everyone in the ballroom are a little cautious. When did their third master suffer from this kind of fatigue? But even with a dark face, the third master is still walking around with Chen Xuanyu over and over again Manager Li said that his expression was too stinky and not at all like Chief Ming, and he didn't get angry at all. Everyone in the ballroom seemed to re-examine Chen Xuanyu's status. Maybe she couldn't be a real proprietress, but the fact that the boss likes him is absolutely beyond doubt. Yes, even if the boss marries a wife in the future, the genuine boss wife may not be able to shake her position in the boss's heart.

For their rehearsal, Ah Cheng watched the show happily because his temperament was not suitable, and he also had tea and snacks to match. Compared with Qin Sanye, he was not too happy.Qin San glanced at Mingcheng and then at Li Lingxi who was directing him, thinking that because Chen Xuanyu was so happy today, he really must go to Minglou himself to complain.

***

Ah Cheng and Lingxi didn't leave the Great Shanghai Ballroom until four o'clock in the afternoon, because the ballroom was about to open at five o'clock, so it was considered to leave some time for the ballroom to clean up and let the staff rest.Because Ah Cheng came here by car, Lingxi asked her driver to take the staff she brought back one by one, and she went back together in Ah Cheng's car.

And Ah Cheng worked with Lingxi all afternoon, and now he finally had time to spend alone, "Lingxi, let's go for a walk, shall we?"

"Where are you going, aren't you going home?" Lingxi frowned, she was actually very tired and just wanted to go home and sleep and didn't want to go anywhere.

Ah Cheng looked at the sun on the other side of the day, his eyes full of yearning, "Today's weather is so good, we can go to the riverside to watch the sunset together."

Lingxi closed her eyes, thinking about squinting for a while, and muttered, "But I don't want to watch the sunset..."

It's a pity that Ah Cheng doesn't want to see such a beautiful sunset, but he is not a persistent person. I want to be alone with you, I will accompany you whatever you want, is there any place you want to go?"

"... "

There was no response, Ah Cheng turned his head to look at Lingxi and found that she had fallen asleep on the co-pilot sideways, he sighed and took a blanket from the back seat of the car and covered her gently, thinking that she was really tired recently damn.

Ah Cheng resigned to his fate and drove home. The bumps in the car did not wake Lingxi up. When the car arrived at the Ming Mansion, Ah Cheng leaned forward to wake Lingxi up, but he felt a little uncomfortable seeing her sleeping so soundly. He couldn't bear it, and when he got closer, he could smell the scent of gardenias on Lingxi's body again. He reached out his hand and gently brushed away the messy long hair on her face, and her palm-sized face was a little pale. The black and blue under his eyes made him feel distressed, his fingers gently caressed her eyebrows, nose and lips, and Ah Cheng felt some ripples in his heart when he saw the red lips that were close at hand.

Lingxi felt itchy on her face in her sleep, and she seemed to be unable to get rid of it, she tried her best to resist sleepiness and opened her eyes, and met Ah Cheng who was right in front of her eyes, "Brother Ah Cheng, are we home yet?" ?”

"It's here." Ah Cheng used his fingers to pin the hair on Lingxi's face behind his ears, "Are you awake?"

"Well, I'm awake..." Lingxi yawned big, and now she wanted to continue sleeping for a while.

Ah Cheng stroked her cheek with one hand, "Then can I kiss you now?"

"Ah?" Lingxi squinted her eyes, she didn't really hear what Ah Cheng was saying, but subconsciously nodded and hummed based on her trust in Ah Cheng.

As soon as Lingxi finished speaking, Ah Cheng kissed his red lips that Xiao had been thinking about for a long time. The girl's lips were as sweet, soft, slippery and delicious as summer ice jelly, and Lingxi only reacted at this time Ah Cheng just asked if he could kiss you, so she was kissed?She felt that she should push Ah-Cheng away, but her hand didn't seem to be her own. She just grabbed the seat behind her and let him do whatever he wanted, but she couldn't do anything else. Even Ah-Cheng reminded her to kiss her and asked her to close her eyes, so she obediently Close your eyes to cooperate with him, only feel the movement of your lips, your breath and heart beat like a drum.
