Back to the Years When My Father Was in School - Chapter 30
For this new product promotion show of “Aolang” men’s clothing, Meng’s Group has also laid a lot of money. Not only did it invite the king-level male star Qin Yuxiao as the endorsement of the product, the TV commercials were also repeatedly broadcasting “Aolang” during this period. “Wolf” new product advertisement for men’s clothing.
The company asked Shen Kuo and several other boys to come over for styling training every day, four hours a day, hourly pay.
Because they are all newcomers, to cultivate their sense of lens in a short period of time, they must work hard.
As long as Shen Kuo does anything, whether he likes it or not, he will take it seriously.
However, Qin Yuxiao’s schedule was very busy. He occasionally came to rehearse, only walked for a few minutes, and was often late.
As a small and famous new star, it is also common to put on airs and scores. As long as everyone holds it well, don’t annoy him.
When Qin Yuxiao showed up for the first time, many people in the exhibition hall put aside their work and ran over to watch him. They inevitably brought some humorous taste in their enthusiasm. They said that they liked him, and asked him to sign and take photos.
Shen Kuo didn’t rush up with everyone.
He doesn’t have a TV at home. Although he knows that Qin Yuxiao is a star, he is just a colleague who works together.
The only thing that made him feel dissatisfied was that Qin Yuxiao was always late, and there were a lot of things, either drinking coffee or taking a break, each time putting on makeup took a long, long time, often delaying their time.
On several occasions, Shen Kuo showed his displeasure on his face and treated Qin Yuxiao coldly.
As Shen Kuo’s “temporary agent”, Zhong Kai always persuaded him not to go head-to-head with Qin Yuxiao.
“He is a big star, even President Meng has to be polite to three points, forget it, bear it.”
Shen Kuo was not a stunned young man who hadn’t been born in society. He knew that it was indeed inappropriate for him to conflict with Qin Yuxiao at this time.
He endured this breath and only did his job well. Anyway, within two weeks, he would withdraw after receiving his salary. He would never meet again in his life.
Two days before the new product launch, Meng Zhining went to the exhibition hall to watch the rehearsal.
“Director Fang, how about these newcomers?”
Director Fang greeted Meng Zhining, Nunu said, “It’s not bad, it looks a little photogenic. Even the photographers are boasting. Mr. Meng really didn’t say anything about picking people.”
Meng Zhining looked at the exhibition hall, and Shen Kuo was also there, with light and natural makeup, bright lights on his face, his complexion was fair and flawless, his facial features became more delicate and clear, his eyebrows were burning, he was less light-picked, and a little more reserved. temperament.
He wore the new light-colored sweater from “Ao Lang”, and his figure was definitely the figure of a hanger. No matter what kind of clothes he wore on Shen Kuo, it seemed to be tailored for him.
Under the bright light, he seemed to be glowing all over, so beautiful that he couldn’t take his eyes off.
Even if compared to the star Qin Yuxiao beside him, Shen Kuo is not inferior. Not only that, he also has a somewhat more refined and cold temperament than Qin Yuxiao.
There is really no harm if there is no comparison. Qin Yuxiao looks handsome and handsome when he takes it out alone, but standing with Shen Kuo, his handsome looks a little thin and lacks a little taste.
Qin Yuxiao took the plane photo taken by the photographer in the later stage and looked at Shen Kuo on the left behind him, his face gradually sinking.
The man behind him has a strong aura and is too stealthy.
Qin Yuxiao was uncomfortable with Shen Kuo at first, because everyone in the room was holding him, but Shen Kuo’s attitude towards him was dull, and even passed by him once and ignored him directly.
He felt more resentment towards Shen Kuo in his heart.
As he was about to enter the stage, reporters and cameras were all pointed at the booth. Shen Kuo changed his clothes and put on makeup and walked out, handsome and graceful.
When several fashion magazine reporters saw him, they couldn’t help whispering and admiring Meng Zhining’s good foresight.
Qin Yuxiao deeply felt that the muffled young man beside him was threatening his position and taking away his aura.
Therefore, just three minutes after Meng Zhining was away, Qin Yuxiao went wild on the spot, kicking over Shen Kuo’s shoulder bag on the chair, and said unhappily, “Get in the way.”
The black backpack contained the computer books that Lu Yan gave him, and now they rolled down to the front of the stage, revealing a corner.
Everyone kept silent, knowing that Qin Yuxiao was going to play a big game again, they didn’t dare to say anything more.
Shen Kuo walked to the front of the stage, picked up his schoolbag silently, patted the footprints on it lightly, and passed by Qin Yuxiao without looking at him.
Ignored Qin Yuxiao looked at the people around him, everyone pretended to do their own thing and kept silent.
He became more upset in his heart and clearly gave Shen Kuo a disarm, but Shen Kuo’s cold reaction made him feel… like a joke.
Qin Yuxiao walked to Director Fang, pointed at Shen Kuo, and said angrily, “Is this the person you found for me?”
Director Fang has always been polite to Qin Yuxiao, and said with a smile: “They are all good seedlings selected by President Meng.”
“Just like this is also called Miaozi.” Qin Yuxiao had a mocking expression on his face: “Look at him, you can’t even catch the camera. Standing behind me is like an idiot. It won’t be an eyesore.”
Although he said this, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Qin Yuxiao had let Shen Kuo steal the limelight and had nowhere to vent. This made him feel uncomfortable and looked around for faults.
Director Fang Gu Quan can only smile and calm down and said: “They have not been trained, and they are still a few dumbfounded, so naturally they can’t compare to yours.”
Qin Yuxiao coldly snorted, “I still need you to say it.”
Director Fang thought that if Qin Yuxiao made a complaint, the matter would be over, so he agreed with him a few times, and at the same time kept winking at Shen Kuo, telling him to bear more.
Shen Kuo said it was okay.
Anyway, he never cared about these small twists and turns, they were unimportant people and things.
In this world, all he cares about… are the people who keep it in his heart.
Director Fang responded with Qin Yuxiao while sighing to himself that Qin Yuxiao’s debut time is not too short, and it is actually not as reasonable as a high school student.
Director Fang shook his head helplessly, adding more admiration to Shen Kuo in his heart. This kid, able to bend, stretch, endure and endure, will not be a thing in the pool in the future.
He thought that Qin Yuxiao would just make trouble, but he didn’t expect that he would not let him go, saying that he must let Shen Kuo withdraw, otherwise he would just quit.
“This…we are all signed contracts.” Director Fang tried to persuade him: “The people were picked by President Meng himself. Shen Kuo did not do anything wrong. There is no reason to dismiss him if he is dismissed.”
“Why didn’t you do something wrong? Standing behind me with someone like him would damage my screen image.”
Hearing the words, the people around had a playful look on their faces.
Qin Yuxiao was only worried that Shen Kuo would steal his limelight, so he deliberately made an excuse to fire him.
Although everyone felt like a mirror in their hearts, they still didn’t dare to confront Qin Yuxiao. After all, this big star who even President Meng had to give three points courtesy.
Qin Yuxiao stubbornly asked Director Fang to dismiss Shen Kuo, otherwise he would not start work.
Director Fang didn’t want to offend Qin Yuxiao, so he went to the office to find Meng Zhining. Sometimes Meng Zhining was entertaining foreign guests and it was not convenient to see him.
Meng’s Group is more than just “Aolang” brand clothing. As the company’s leader, Meng Zhining is very busy every day.
Director Fang couldn’t find anyone, and he was so anxious that he didn’t know what to do. If Qin Yuxiao chose not to do it, he would still have time to replace him, but the key problem is that he is the person appointed by the Meng Group’s eldest, so Meng Zhening definitely won’t. Escaped him easily.
He returned to the exhibition hall with a bitter face. Qin Yuxiao sat on the chair like uncle, took a sip of coffee, and said, “Director Fang, have you asked the leader for instructions?”
Director Fang can only persuade: “If you really look at Shen Kuo and are not pleasing to your eyes, I will arrange him back and not let him stand behind you. This is the head office.”
When Zhong Kai heard this, he became anxious. The person who made Shen Kuo stand second was Meng Zhining. This order has been fixed, so how can he change it?
However, Shen Kuo grabbed his wrist and looked at Qin Yuxiao patiently.
A conflict at this time will only irritate him even more, so it is better to stand still.
The plan proposed by Director Fang is actually giving Qin Yuxiao a step down the stairs. If he can go down the stairs, the matter would be fine.
Shen Kuo didn’t care where he stood, as long as he promised that his salary would not change, there would be no difference between standing second and last.
However, Qin Yuxiao seemed to be competing with Shen Kuo. He knew that if Shen Kuo really showed his face on TV this time, I was afraid that Qin Yuxiao’s limelight would be taken away by this guy.
“No, there are only two options. Either he will go or I will go. You can do it yourself.”
Director Fang is almost crying. The exhibition will start after two days. If this matter is not handled well, Meng’s loss will be great!
At this time, the assistant of the director nearby came over and whispered: “During the previous selection, I was worried about accidents and reserved a few reserve candidates. It’s better to pick one from here and replace Shen Kuo.”
After all… this exhibition will do without anyone, except Qin Yuxiao.
Qin Yuxiao was appointed by Meng Zhining’s daughter. The whole company knew how much Meng Zhining loved her baby girl, not to mention a Qin Yuxiao, even if she wanted the stars and the moon, she could pick it off.
Director Fang looked at Shen Kuo embarrassedly, and hesitated not knowing what to say—
“This… Xiao Shen, I can only say sorry, but you can rest assured that I will pay you your salary, and there will be no less.”
Zhong Kai really blows up his hair this time: “Director Fang, Shen Kuo has been training for so many days, you can’t say it now and you can’t do it. This is fun for our brothers, right?”
“Oh, considerate, that uncle, even our President Meng is very polite, I really can’t offend him!”
Zhong Kai said dullly: “Is there no other star in the entire entertainment industry? You have to invite him. This is too big a show.”
“The two do not know, this Qin Yuxiao is the person named by our daughter Meng. No matter how much Meng spends, he will also invite Qin Yuxiao over to let her daughter see him, so the two of them… .I’m sorry.”
Shen Kuo glanced at Qin Yuxiao, the corner of his mouth raised the winner’s smile, arrogant.
Shen Kuo knew that the rules of this world were like this.
“I don’t like to make others embarrassed and say goodbye.” Shen Kuo turned and left.
Director Fang stopped him: “Wait until the end of receiving the salary before leaving.”
“I only take the share of my labor.”
If you take more, it is the mercy of others, and Shen Kuo is so proud of a man, he will not take the mercy of anyone.
Zhong Kai angrily walked out of the hall with Shen Kuo, greeting Qin Yuxiao’s ancestors over and over again.
At this moment, Lu Yan walked in wearing this mint green one-piece skirt. The skirt was a daily style, especially fresh and moving in midsummer.
She gave her bicycle to the security guard, who pushed the car through the door and put it at the front desk for safekeeping.
The moment Shen Kuo saw Lu Yan, he felt a cool mint wind blowing over his face.
She is… very beautiful today.
Lu Yan saw Shen Kuo, with a surprised look on her face, and ran towards him regardless, “Shen Kuo, Zhong Kai, what a coincidence, why are you here!”
Zhong Kai looked angry: “Hey, don’t mention it. I thought I got a good job, but I didn’t expect the cooked ducks to fly. It’s really an empty basket for so many days to come for training.”
“Ah, what’s the matter?”
Zhong Kai is full of depression and has nowhere to vent. After finally meeting an acquaintance, he must say something for Lu Yan to comment.
…
“You tell me, this guy is too arrogant, because he is a little bit famous, he is so remarkable, and he also said that he is a person selected by Miss Meng Group and looks down on our two brothers.”
Shen Kuo rubbed his forehead and said helplessly: “He didn’t say this, don’t be too exaggerated.”
Zhong Kai is a bluffing temperament. Although his speech is artistically exaggerated, he still doesn’t talk nonsense.
After Lu Yan listened, her face sank, and she muttered in a low voice, “I didn’t expect him to be such a person.”
She had known it a long time ago that she would not talk to Qin Yuxiao. She had seen his movies before and thought he was handsome and his cold temperament was suitable for the brand image of “Aolang” menswear, so she pushed him, but she didn’t expect him to be a real person. The product is so bad.
She recalled that that afternoon, when Shen Kuo got her first salary, she was particularly interested in asking her to go to the Century City Hotel to have a meal.
In any case, Lu Yan couldn’t stand her friend being bullied like this.
“Come with me.”
She pulled Shen Kuo’s sleeves and walked toward the elevator with a calm face.
Lu Yan held Shen Kuo back to the exhibition hall, and the boy who replaced Shen Kuo was already in place.
Director Fang saw the substitute boy standing behind Qin Yuxiao at a loss. This image and temperament was far worse than that of Shen Kuo.
But Qin Yuxiao wanted such a person to set off himself, completely ignoring the effect of the show, which was really selfish.
Qin Yuxiao inadvertently raised his head, and saw that Shen Kuo had come back unexpectedly. He was so angry that he strode forward to Shen Kuo.
“What are you doing here again, I tell you, don’t take your own humiliation, just get out now, otherwise…”
“Otherwise, how about it.” Lu Yan stepped forward and stood in front of Shen Kuo, welcoming Qin Yuxiao: “Otherwise you will withdraw, right?”
Qin Yuxiao looked at Lu Yan and thought she was a staff member here, so he said unceremoniously: “Get out of the way, or I will let you lose your job.”
As a new star of popular idols, few girls would not scream when they saw Qin Yuxiao. He had long been used to the attention of the public, so Lu Yan was a hostile posture when he came up, making Qin Yuxiao feel uncomfortable inexplicably.
Lu Yan took out the stubbornness of being a rich second generation before, and said: “To put it bluntly, everyone is doing things with money, and no one is noble than anyone. What are you playing for.”
Qin Yuxiao was not used to these words: “How can I be the same as them.”
“Then tell me, why is it different.”
Although they were all paid by Meng’s salary, Qin Yuxiao realized that he was completely different from the guys around him. He was a star, and he was willing to come here to reward Meng’s face.
He pointed to Shen Kuo and the boys around him and said, “Are some of their little-known guys comparable to me? I tell you, even if I talk to Mr. Meng and fire them all, Mr. Meng will not. Say what.”
“You are too confident, as far as I know, President Meng is not such an unprincipled person.”
Qin Yuxiao sneered: “I was chosen by Miss Meng’s group. Meng is always famous for loving her daughter. How do you think she would choose?”
Lu Yan grinned, unexpectedly going around her for a long time.
Director Fang and several colleagues around him were obviously embarrassed when they heard this, but Lu Yan didn’t speak, and it was difficult for them to stand up and say something.
Qin Yuxiao turned back to the other director and said, “What are you doing in a daze? If you don’t want to drive him away soon, I will be annoyed by him.”
Director Fang didn’t move at all, as if he hadn’t heard him.
“Hey, I said you guys…what’s going on.”
At this moment, Meng Zhining, who was busy with company affairs, came back to the exhibition hall and asked: “What’s the matter, what are you all here for?”
Director Fang hurriedly greeted her, whispering in a whisper to the matter briefly.
“Mr. Meng, you came right in time.” Qin Yuxiao stepped forward and said in a high tone: “The girl who didn’t know where was running wild here, let the security guard drive them away.”
Meng Zhining looked at Qin Yuxiao with cold eyes.
I have long heard that Qin Yuxiao was arrogant and arrogant during the rehearsal training, and often uttered wild words to the staff and other models, but Meng Zhining didn’t care about it. He just looked at his daughter’s face and endured it again and again.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, he actually dared to speak wild words to Lu Yan, and this touched Meng Zhining’s negative scales.
“Security, kick this arrogant guy out of Meng’s building!”
Several security guards walked over, raised Qin Yuxiao’s arms, and prepared to take him out.
Qin Yuxiao was stupid: “Hey, you are mistaken, it’s not me! Let go!”
Meng Zhening looked at him and said coldly: “Since you want to withdraw, that’s okay, but we have signed a contract with your brokerage company. If you want to withdraw, you have to pay the liquidated damages first.”
Qin Yuxiao didn’t expect that Meng Zhening would really let him quit. He was a little anxious. You must know that he had just made his debut, and if he really calculated it, the company would definitely not help him bear the liquidated damages. He had to pay for it himself.
And if this matter spreads out, it will be difficult for him to pick up other endorsements in the future.
“President Meng, this…Is there any misunderstanding in this?”
“There is a misunderstanding, what kind of place do you think the Meng Group is, we paid you to come here, not to let you dominate here and bully my employees and subordinates at will.”
She looked at Lu Yan again, and said, “Besides, my daughter is not something you can let go.”
Qin Yuxiao was stunned when he said this.
Unexpectedly… Unexpectedly, this little girl who looks unremarkable in her dress would turn out to be the daughter of Meng Zhining, the eldest lady of the Meng Group!
He thought…she was the staff here.
The employees and models around Qin Yuxiao who had been despised by Qin Yuxiao at the moment looked at him deflated, and felt very happy.
Meng Zhining looked back at Lu Yan, then looked at Shen Kuo behind her, and said, “Xiao Shen, you have done nothing wrong. You don’t have to leave. The original position will remain the same.”
Shen Kuo nodded neither humble nor arrogant.
Qin Yuxiao’s face was pale with anger, and it was difficult to ride a tiger at the moment. At any rate, he was still a bit famous. The words “Shen Kuo, he will leave” have been released, and it is impossible to take it back, otherwise where will his face be put.
He could only gritted his teeth and turned away angrily.
After Qin Yuxiao left, the exhibition hall finally calmed down. Fortunately, there are still a few days before the new product launch. Meng Zhining always has plan B in his work.
She immediately asked Director Fang to contact another male star who had worked with Meng’s clothing to come to the rescue.
Lu Yan had been sitting in a chair, holding Shen Kuo’s cheek on the stand.
Why didn’t I notice that he was so handsome!
Under the shining of the spotlight, his tall brow bones, deep eye sockets, sharp thin lips… His handsome facial features are just like nature, and the combination is really a perfect work of art.
It’s just that he is too poor. Those old clothes and the melancholy temperament on him conceal his flamboyant youthfulness.
So the girls at school are afraid to approach him.
Meng Zhining turned his head during the busy interval and saw Lu Yan staring at Shen Kuo from a distance.
A trace of deep meaning crossed her eyes, and she waved to Lu Yan, shouting, “Yan Yan, come here.”
Lu Yan got up and walked towards Meng Zhining.
Meng Zhening looked at the teenager in the stands, grabbed Lu Yan’s shoulder, and asked gossiping, “Boyfriend?”
“Oh, no, just classmates.”
Meng Zhining quipped: “I’m so obsessed, my eyes are about to grow on others, so I don’t hesitate to tear up his idol for him. Is it just a classmate?”
Lu Yan suddenly blushed, and said eagerly: “I was originally… a classmate! You know I am righteous, if anyone bullies my friend, regardless of his idol idol, I will… still turn my face.”
“I just said casually, what are you anxious to get angry with?”
“I… Where did I get upset.”
Meng Zhining smiled and rubbed Lu Yan’s hair: “I think you, classmate Shen, are really good. There are not many boys who are so calm.”
Lu Yan knew that Meng Zhining rarely praised others easily. She said it was good, so she must be quite appreciated.
“but…”
Meng Zhening looked at the radiant young man on the stage, frowned slightly, and said, “He is a bit heavy on his hostility.”
Even if she read countless people, she couldn’t see exactly what kind of thoughts were hidden in Shen Kuo’s deep eyes.
In the evening, Lu Yan and Shen Kuo went home together.
The little girl walked in front, taking a relaxed and happy step, and Shen Kuo casually followed behind her, keeping a distance of half a meter from beginning to end.
“You never said that you are Meng’s daughter.”
If he had known it, he would not take this job anyway.
“You too… never asked, wouldn’t it be weird if I told you suddenly?”
The girl jumped on the floor tiles with checkered.
Shen Kuo raised his eyebrows: “It makes sense.”
Lu Yan jumped to him and looked up at him: “But Shen Kuo, I found that you really have the potential to be a star!”
Shen Kuo didn’t care: “Is it.”
“When you put on those clothes and stand in front of the camera, your whole person seems to be shining. Compared to those stars, it’s not bad at all.”
“Oh.”
“Have you thought about it, C is making his debut?”
“No.”
Shen Kuo wasn’t very interested in these things. He didn’t like to scratch his head and accept other people’s character, and he didn’t have the talent for singing and dancing. He didn’t even care if others liked or hated him.
Such people are inherently unsuitable for the entertainment industry.
Lu Yan just mentioned it casually.
“I really want to be a star and want more people to like me.”
“I like so much, what’s the use of coming.” Shen Kuo asked calmly.
“I don’t know.” Lu Yan shrugged, “Being liked by many people is a happy thing.”
A trace of sadness flashed across Shen Kuo’s eyes. He had never been liked by many people, and even his mother… didn’t like him.
Otherwise, she would not leave.
A person is used to wrestling with himself in loneliness all year round, he doesn’t care what others think of him.
Is it a happy thing to be liked? Shen Kuo has never felt it.
The setting sun in the distance cast a soft gleam on her face, and the corners of her mouth rose up and said firmly: “Anyway, people have to find what they like to do, and then only do this thing in their life. Will suffice.”
Shen Kuo’s eyelids drooped, staring at her for a long time, until the girl’s earlobe gradually floated and flushed.
“What are you… watching me?” She was a little nervous when he stared at him with deep gaze.
In just a few seconds, Shen Kuo immediately looked away and caught a glimpse of the peddler in front of him pushing the rumbling robot car, selling rice foam cones.
He immediately took her to step forward, bought three rice bubble cones, and gave her a brainstorm.
Lu Yan readily accepted, sitting on the bench in the street park, squeaking like a little hamster, chewing on the bubble rice tube.
Shen Kuo looked at the busy streets and didn’t seem to mean to go home.
“Do you want to eat?” Lu Yan broke off a half of the rice bubble cone and handed it over.
“I don’t eat snacks.”
“Then I’m welcome.”
She squeaked and ate the crunchy rice bubble cone. The setting sun gradually sank. Lu Yan stood up, patted the debris on her skirt, and said, “Then I will go home!”
“and many more.”
Shen Kuo looked at her, suddenly stretched out his hand, and gently touched the corner of her mouth.
“Well!”
Lu Yan’s heart suddenly lifted.
His cold fingertips wiped off the white scum sticking to the corner of her mouth, and threw it into his mouth.
“you…”
Isn’t it not eating?
He twirled the sweet smell of the tip of his tongue, pushed her shoulders, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly: “Get out of the way.”
