In fact, if you think about it carefully, the reason why Lin Zhiyi has been taking the initiative since they first met may be because Xiao Ci is young, a student, and poor.
In Lin Zhiyi's eyes, this is weakness.
…
At that time, Lin Zhiyi was there.
Every day is as busy as ever, and in the past few days, the focus of the studio has shifted partly to Fu Yuchen.
The decoration of his house cost a lot of money and was designed by famous designers. The layout is very reasonable.
Even if the overall planning is redone, there won't be many places that need to be changed, and it will still take a lot of effort.
The plan given by Lin Zhiyi is mainly based on organization and storage, which not only saves time, cost, etc., but is also simpler.
Fu Yuchen originally just found an excuse to get close to Lin Zhiyi. But after seeing their plan, he was still very satisfied and happily agreed.
After that, employees from the studio came to the door, and every day's work was carried out in an orderly manner.
It stands to reason that Fu Yuchen should go out and stay for a few days. After all, it is not convenient.
It is impossible for a person like him to have only one property.
But I don't know if he is hiding from reporters or waiting for Lin Zhiyi. Instead, he is at home every day.
I just don’t disturb each other with the people in the studio, and I only ask my assistant to tell me anything.
Only when Lin Zhiyi occasionally came to inspect the progress would he take the initiative to chat.
Although it was not obvious, these people were not stupid and had long seen what he meant for Lin Zhiyi.
Probably because the news on the Internet hasn't completely subsided yet, he didn't seem as attentive as when he was eating.
After all, who is scolded every day, endorsed, lost several scripts, and faced losing money, and still be in the mood for romance?
However, the affairs of big stars and bosses are not something they can interfere with. If employees only focus on their work, their efficiency will naturally be good.
Although Fu Yuchen's home is large and has many items, a whole week of busy work still gave the whole home a new look.
During the acceptance inspection, Lin Zhiyi came in person. Fu Yuchen only asked his assistant to check the items with the storage clerk, and then signed.
"If Mr. Fu feels dissatisfied with anything in his future life or needs to be changed, he can contact us at any time.
I will send someone over to understand the situation and make timely adjustments. I will also visit you back at your convenience to learn about the situation." Lin Zhiyi took the acceptance form and said.
"Is it necessary to be so businesslike?" Fu Yuchen asked.
Although these words sounded professional, there was inevitably a sense of distance. Especially after the two of them got along over the past few days, they had gradually become familiar with each other.
Fu Yuchen had seen her cheerful and playful, but she was really not used to this.
"Then Mr. Fu is satisfied with our work?" Lin Zhiyi had to change his attitude and asked with a smile.
"Satisfied." Fu Yuchen nodded.
"That's good." They are in the service industry, and the word "satisfaction" is the greatest affirmation for them.
Lin Zhiyi handed the signed form to his employees, indicating that they could pack their things so that they could leave together.
Fu Yuchen noticed her intention and did not try to hold her back. He just said sincerely: "Thank you, Zhiyi."
"Thank you for anything, this is what I should do." Lin Zhiyi didn't care.
"I don't mean work." Fu Yuchen said again.
Because he did have a relationship with his ex-girlfriend, there are many things that he cannot explain clearly. In addition, there are people on the Internet who maliciously guide him, and he is in a whirlpool of public opinion. This period of time is actually not easy.
Facing Lin Zhiyi in this situation, Fu Yuchen didn't even dare to talk about pursuit.
He thought that she would also shy away from him, at least be more distant than before, but to his surprise, Lin Zhiyi did not.
She has always been natural towards him, and even has a more friendly attitude toward him.
Of course, it's just friends.
But when people are at a low point, sometimes a piece of cake and a heart-warming word can make a difference.
Fu Yuchen has been in this circle since he was a teenager. The warmth and coldness of people, flattery and contempt are often more vivid and cruel than other circles, which made him even more moved.
"Then I didn't do anything." Lin Zhiyi said doubtfully.
Maybe she just did it unintentionally, but it comforted Fu Yuchen's heart. He still insisted: "Thank you too."
"No need, just pay the balance on time." It was almost the end of the year, and Lin Zhi realized that the studio's accounts were also a headache.
"Money fan." Fu Yuchen said, reaching out towards her forehead.
Lin Zhiyi subconsciously covered it, and then realized that she had been fooled when she didn't feel the expected pain.
"Okay, I know you're busy, so I won't keep you here today."
As the employees of Zhiyi Studio can see, he is now entangled in "lawsuits" and his pursuit can only be temporarily suspended.
Because if this matter doesn't pass, he won't have enough confidence.
"Bye!" Lin Zhiyi walked out of the door easily.
Fu Yuchen also kept her word. The money had already been transferred to her account before she even arrived at the studio.
In order to reward everyone, Lin Zhiyi booked a hotel treat for the evening.
Lu Xining has always been worried about what happened to Mr. Jin.
He didn't even drink any wine and silently exited the box while everyone was busy.
Lin Zhiyi had long been used to strange things. Seeing that she hadn't come back for a long time, she didn't feel relieved, so she took her bag and went out to look for her.
There was no bathroom, so I went to the lobby.
When I passed the front desk, I saw a young man paying the bill at the front desk, which seemed a bit familiar.
Lin Zhiyi paused and couldn't help but take a second look.
He was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and he looked very elite. He didn't look like the dudes in S City, nor did he look like his own client.
Lin Zhiyi frowned, and it took a while to remember, wasn't this the manager who wanted to poach Xiao Ci into the entertainment industry?
"What's wrong?" Lu Xining came over.
Lin Zhiyi came to her senses and said, "No." Then he held her arm and asked, "Why did you come out for so long? I would be worried."
"I don't drink. The box is too stuffy." Lu Xining told the truth.
"You are also the boss. Do you know that you don't want to hide away like this all the time?" Lin Zhiyi pretended to be dissatisfied.
"Isn't this because of you?" Lu Xining said coquettishly.
"Don't come." Lin Zhiyi refused her sugar-coated bullets.
"Quick, quick, let's go back and take a look. Don't let them drink too much and have to go to work tomorrow." Lu Xining changed the subject.
Doesn't Lin Zhiyi know what she is thinking? But he doesn't care.
But when I turned the corner, I couldn't help but turn my head and glance at Li Shuhuai, and saw that he had already walked out of the lobby.
As his figure moved, Lin Zhiyi saw Xiao Ci at a glance in the dimly lit area outside the hotel.
He stood among a group of people, as if he was seeing someone off or waiting for a bus...
The man seemed to feel her gaze, as if he was about to turn his head and look over.
Lin Zhiyi had already averted her eyes early and returned to the box with Lu Xining.
The two bosses were not here just now, so the atmosphere in the private room became more and more lively. Now the wine was getting to the point where it couldn't be suppressed no matter how hard it was.
Lu Xining had a boring personality, so no one dared to persuade him, but they made Lin Zhiyi drink a few more drinks.
When the show ended, the employees were also very drunk.
The secretary asked Lu Xining to take Lin Zhiyi away first, and he would take care of the rest.
As the car passed by the entrance of the hotel, Lin Zhiyi glanced at the place where Xiao Ci stood before. It had been so long, so naturally he had left long ago.
They have broken up and haven't seen each other for a long time.
If you say you care, it doesn't seem that heartbreaking. If you don't care, your chest feels a little tight.
Fortunately, I was drunk and my brain was in a daze, so I don't remember much about how I got home.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already the next morning...
--Dividing line--
In a blink of an eye, it’s New Year’s Day.
The studio had taken off early the afternoon before, and Lu Xining also had his own arrangements.
Although Lin Zhiyi was reluctant, she still returned home.
When they walked in, Mother Lin was still busy in the kitchen, and Father Lin and Lin Zhiyan were discussing current affairs.
"Miss." The servant stood at the entrance to greet her.
Lin Zhiyi nodded slightly, handed her the clothes and bag, and walked into the living room.
"Xiaoyi is back?" Lin's mother heard the noise and ran out of the kitchen.
Lin Zhiyi nodded slightly, and then called: "Dad, brother."
"Just come back." Father Lin seemed relieved.
"Are you tired? Go back to your room and change clothes. I'll wait for you to come down for dinner." Mother Lin said.
"No need, let's just start dinner." Lin Zhiyi said and went to the restaurant.
The Lin family father and son looked at each other and also went to the restaurant.
The maid brought her water to clean her hands and handed her a towel.
During the festival, the meals are much richer than usual, filling the entire table.
"Have you not eaten well recently? You have lost weight." Lin's mother was nagging while picking up vegetables for her daughter.
"No way, Xining's cooking is so delicious that you won't be hungry." Lin Zhiyi retorted.
"That's good, that's good." Mother Lin originally wanted to say something, but finally swallowed it back.
Lin's father and Lin Zhiyan also asked a few questions, and she answered them all politely.
There's nothing wrong with the appearance, it's just that it's very different from before, not to mention the relaxed and happy atmosphere before.
Lin Zhiyi looked at her mother trying to find a topic and wanted to cater to her, but she just couldn't find the energy to do so.
After finally waiting until everyone had finished eating, she excused herself to change clothes, hid in the room, and never went out again.
During this period, Lin's mother knocked on the door twice to deliver fruit, but Lin Zhiyi didn't open the door.
"Your brother had someone buy fireworks specially. Let's go out and set off fireworks together. Wasn't it your favorite when you were kids?" Mother Lin continued to lobby.
"No." In the end, Lin Zhiyi didn't even bother to make excuses.
Seeing that she was determined, Mother Lin didn't force herself anymore, and the sound of her leaving footsteps suddenly came from outside.
Lin Zhiyi looked at the ceiling for a long time, until a crashing sound came from outside.
She subconsciously looked around and saw a colorful firework blooming outside the window.
Lin Zhiyi thought about something and walked to the window. Sure enough, he saw his brother setting off fireworks alone downstairs.
He didn't say a word, but he was coaxing himself in this way.
Suddenly I felt a little soft-hearted, and when I turned around to go downstairs, I heard a WeChat notification from my phone.
She picked it up and opened it while walking out, but her steps suddenly stopped.
In the WeChat dialog box, she received a screenshot.
On the stage of the TV station's New Year's Day party, she was dressed up with joy.
Xiao Ci was wearing a white slim-fitting suit, holding a microphone and seemed to be singing?
"Sister Xiaolin, hurry up and watch the live broadcast."
Lin Zhiyi realized something and quickly clicked on the link.
The live broadcast is still going on, but because the barrage is on, the dense and fast-scrolling words have completely covered the entire screen.
"My little brother is so handsome!"
“The TV station’s new year’s benefits are six sixty-six!”
"I have been doing good deeds and doing good deeds all my life, and it finally paid off."
"Ah! How can there be such a good-looking person in the world who can also sing so beautifully."
"Where did this treasure boy come from? What does he do? Is he an actor? Or a singer? Why have I never seen him before?"
"Within one minute, I want all his information."
You can imagine how excited all the girls in front of the screen were watching the party on their mobile phones, and the number of online viewers continued to soar.
Lin Zhiyi thought of Li Shuhuai she saw outside the hotel a few days ago, and suddenly understood something.
It turns out that Xiao Ci chose this path...
The next day, when Mother Lin was watching TV, she naturally saw Xiao Ci.
After spending the whole night online, she subconsciously looked at Lin Zhiyi, and Lin Zhiyi looked at her brother.
Because Lin Zhiyan's eyes also fell on the TV screen, he always felt that his eyes were dark and unclear.
News about Xiao Ci on the Internet has always been very popular.
He has unique appearance conditions. Even though he only showed one side, the topic has already overshadowed many celebrities and big names that night. He even made the hot search headlines. The trend of becoming famous is already very obvious.
Of course, as he suddenly became famous, all his "underlying information" was discovered.
Then everyone discovered that before he performed at the party, he actually didn't have a single work, just a pure one.
It was his first appearance on such a big stage, and everyone speculated that there was someone behind it.
Lin Zhiyi also checked the entertainment company that signed him, but what surprised her was that it had just registered and he was the only artist.
This thing is a bit fantasy, but his appearance is like a blade, and the light when it is unsheathed flashes the eyes of many people.
However, it is not easy to establish a foothold, after all, there are only so many resources.
Many people are afraid of touching their own cake, and then a large number of blackmailers appear on the Internet.
Through some misplaced screenshots, it is said that he does not respect his predecessors, is suspected of being kept, is just a pretty boy who only has appearances, etc. Countless versions appear every day.
In the entertainment industry, this is the norm.
Lin Zhiyi looked at Xiao Ci, who was surrounded by reporters in front of the camera, and already felt that the two of them had started to go on different tracks, and they were afraid that they would never cross paths again.
A month later, the heat brought by the New Year's Day party slowly subsided.
Xiao Ci has not shown up yet. I only heard that he has joined a certain crew. For a newcomer, his movements are quite fast.
Originally, Lin Zhiyi didn't pay too much attention to it, until that day when she was browsing Douyin and accidentally noticed a short video shot by a proxy.
It seemed that a certain crew was filming, and a figure fell off the wire.
The picture was not clear, but she recognized it was Xiao Ci.
Her heart was beating rapidly, and she finally dialed his number hesitantly.
"Hello?" It was a strange man's voice that came from the other end.
"I'm looking for Xiao Ci." Lin Zhiyi said.
"Who are you?" The other end was confused and wary.
Lin Zhiyi did not answer, but asked: "Is he injured?"
"Who is it?" Another distant voice came from the other end. It sounded like she was in a hospital in the background, because she heard the sound of the call bell.
"I don't know, maybe it's a fan." The man who answered the phone answered, and then the call was cut off.
