Liu Lili was stunned on the phone. She took off her phone and looked at the caller ID again. It was her.
"Nan Xing, what happened to you...?"
"Yes." Xu Nanxing didn't want to waste time on this, so he simply said, "I am in urgent need of money now. I can take any job in the company."
Liu Lili originally thought about calling her to talk about this matter, but she hung up on the previous phone call without saying a few words, saying that something was wrong, so she just used this phone to talk.
"Nan Xing, I just called you not only to tell you about "Dream of Dreams", but also because you said you had something to do, I didn't say anything further." She sighed and continued,
"The incident of you and Lin Qingying at the Boya Charity Dinner has been spread in the circle. It was nothing at first, but someone spread the news that you left Furong Residence alone in tears. Now it is spread outside, saying that you were offended. Mr. Gu. You also know what kind of existence the Gu family is in Jingzhou. Now, not only "Jing Meng", but other contracts that have been signed are also coming to ask for termination. I am afraid that because of you eating Gua Luo'er, I have already accepted it today. No less than ten calls..."
Xu Nanxing smiled bitterly, "I understand. Sister, I'm sorry to bother you."
"Nan Xing, I'm telling you something you don't want to hear. If you don't change your temper, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to continue eating this bowl of rice in the future." Liu Lili sighed again. She really felt sorry for Xu Nanxing.
But the current series of contract cancellations also made her so anxious that she had no time to care about Xu Nanxing's feelings, and what she said was a bit heartbreaking.
"I understand, Sister Lili, I'm causing trouble for you." Xu Nanxing hung up the phone after saying that.
Liu Lili's meaning was very clear. Thinking about what Nina said to her, it seemed that she had really offended someone.
You will know who you have offended without even thinking about it.
Xu Nanxing felt that his heart was getting more and more depressed, and he stretched out his hand to open the window. The leaves rustled outside the window, and a wisp of moonlight on the distant horizon was obscured by clouds, revealing its faint outline.
It's like her current life seems to be covered with a dense net, unable to break free and unable to stop it.
If that hadn't happened, would everything be different?
But there are no ifs or regrets in the world. The choices she made were her own, and she should bear the consequences of those things.
"Nan Xing, you can go."
Xu Nanxing turned around and saw her sister being pushed out by Xiaomei. She walked over quickly and took the wheelchair.
"Sister Nan Xing, what did Dr. An say? How is it?" Xiaomei asked with concern.
Xu Nanxing lowered his head and glanced at Xu Sionglan who looked back at him. He felt sad in his heart, but still smiled and replied, "Doctor An said there is no big problem."
Xiaomei quickly squeezed Xu Silan's hand on the armrest, "Sister Lan, if you think about it, I'll say yes. You are so beautiful. If you can really stand up, you will definitely be a beautiful woman!"
Xu Sionglan looked back at Xu Nanxing again, and then said,
"I'm fine just like this. I don't think so far ahead about what will happen in the future."
After leaving the hospital door, Xu Silan held the brake of the wheelchair and signaled Xu Nanxing to stop.
"What's wrong, sister?"
Xu Songlan looked at her sister's face, raised her hand and touched it before saying, "Have you cried, Nan Xing?"
The corners of Xu Nanxing's eyes were sore, but she forced herself back.
"No, sister. My eyes don't feel good, I rubbed them."
"Silly boy, you can tell what kind of sister you are just by looking at it." Xu Silan put a strand of Xu Nanxing's hair behind her ear and touched her eyebrows.
"Nan Xing, sister, this is good, really. Over the years, I have gotten used to it. Sister, I hope you will be happy and don't work so hard because of me."
The corners of Xu Nanxing's eyes were a little moist, but he still smiled and said,
"Sister, you don't have to worry about me, I know what's going on."
Xu Sionglan knew her stubbornness and touched the top of her head, "Let's go home."
"Okay, go home."
After returning home and having dinner, Xu Sionglan saw that Xu Nanxing was worried and returned to the room early, so Xu Nanxing also returned to the room.
With nothing to do and feeling depressed, she found a pillow and leaned against the window sill, staring at the night outside the window in a daze.
The lights of thousands of houses, each one happy, made her feel so lonely.
The phone rang. She picked it up and took a look. It was Liu Lili's WeChat message.
[Nan Xing, what I said is a bit harsh, don’t take it to heart. There is no need to be too pessimistic about this matter. Maybe after a while, the limelight will pass and no one will bother with this matter. It just so happens that you can take advantage of this period to take a break and intensively catch up on professional classes and physical classes. After this period of time is over, I will arrange work for you. 】
Xu Nanxing looked at these words and didn't know what to say. It was not her character to say nice things against her will, but if she said what she wanted to say, her relationship with Liu Lili would probably be over.
Simply don't reply anymore.
The work here at Morning Star was temporarily suspended, but she had to make money. She opened the address book on her phone, scrolled through them one by one from top to bottom, and finally selected a few people who were most likely to introduce her to the show and contacted them one by one.
Some of them had already heard about the things that had been reported, and they were asking indirect questions. They just wanted to get more gossip from her so that they could talk about it and become content with it. Xu Nanxing was too lazy to continue the conversation and hung up decisively. Telephone.
In the end, only a performance manager named Jing Ming whom I met while working part-time in college was left. She met this person when she was performing in a performing arts bar. He specialized in introducing actors to various bars and performing arts bars. He was considered an intermediary.
The performances introduced by Jing Ming are expensive, but the requirements are also high, and they are usually in some relatively high-end business occasions. Previously, Chenxing wanted to build her character and was afraid that these performances would affect her subsequent development, so Xu Nanxing has not accepted any performances from Jing Ming for a long time.
At the moment, the work at Morning Star has come to a standstill, so she can only find some work that she can do at the moment, otherwise she will sit at home and have nothing, and when things at Morning Star ease up, her little savings may have been exhausted long ago.
When the call was connected, Jing Ming's lively laughter rang out.
"Baby, do you miss me?"
Xu Nanxing was still a little uncomfortable with the name Jing Ming, so he frowned and got down to business.
"Xiao Jing, are there any performances over there now?"
"Yes, there are a lot of them. Do you want to come out to pick up the work?" It was very noisy over there at Jing Ming. Judging from the sound, he was probably in some bar.
Xu Nanxing waited for the music over there to weaken slightly before continuing,
"Yes, I want to take on some gigs."
"No problem. There's a show at 'Boiling Point' this weekend. Do you want to give it a try?"
Xu Nanxing knew about the boiling point. She had performed a fancy piano performance there before. The performance fee was considerable, and the quality of the audience was quite high.
She replied without hesitation, "Okay, tell me the time and clothing requirements, and I will prepare."
"Wait a minute, why are you in such a hurry?!" Jing Ming's voice came over loudly along with the noisy background music, "This time I need to dance."
"I can dance too."
"It's a slightly colorful dance! Can you do it?"
Xu Nanxing bit her lip on the phone and replied after a few seconds, "Striptease?"
Jing Ming laughed so hard on the phone, he gestured to the person next to him, moved to a quiet place and continued to talk to Xu Nanxing,
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. This performance is a private performance, not like you think, but the costume is indeed a bit skimpy, but it won't expose the flesh, which meets the requirements of your previous jobs."
Xu Nanxing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's fine. I can rest assured about the job you introduced."
"That's natural."
The two chatted for a few more words before hanging up the phone.
Xu Nanxing felt a lot more comfortable. At least he still had work to do. It didn't matter whether it was a regular performance or not, as long as he made money.
She and Jing Ming have known each other for several years. Although Jing Ming looks jovial, he is actually very reliable. If he says there is no problem, then she can rest assured. At least it's much better than those unscrupulous agents outside. They say it's a regular performance, but when they go there, they are often asked to do some over-the-top performances. What's more, they have to drink with the sponsors of the performances. Thinking about it makes me panic. .
There was no need to worry about the performance for the time being. She thought for a while and went to the computer to send an email to her senior brother.
She asked her senior brother to inquire about prosthetic limbs before. His senior brother replied a while ago that he had new information and asked her to take some time to contact him. She has been very busy this time and has not bothered to contact her senior brother.
After sending the email, some things seemed to have settled in his mind. Xu Nanxing felt that even the old desk looked much more pleasing to the eye.
After checking the time, her senior brother should be in class. He would probably reply to her after class, so she left the room to take a shower.
When she came back from the bath, her mailbox was still empty. No new emails came in. However, a few messages came through her phone. They were sent by Jing Ming with the performance time and approximate costume styles, as well as the dance examples of the day, so that she could get familiar with them in advance during the past few days. one time.
Xu Nanxing clicked on the video and watched it again. It was Peach Blossom Ballad. She had skipped this piece in school and it was not difficult to get familiar with it. Now she hoped that the performance that day would go smoothly and get the performance fee as soon as possible.
After practicing against the video a few more times, Xu Nanxing collapsed on the bed from exhaustion. Before going to bed, all she imagined in her mind was the success of the performance, and the sound of money coming in filled her ears.
But she forgot one thing. There is an effect in this world called Murphy's Law.
The more you worry about something, the more likely things will go wrong.
Life is like this. There are predatory monsters lurking everywhere. If you are not careful, you may be dismembered and eaten clean.
Gu Huaizhi sent Gu Yufei back to Nanshan Villa.
Chen Mingxi had already come out when she heard the sound of the car, and took the wheelchair from Xu Zhinian's hand. After Gu Huaizhi carried Gu Yufei into the wheelchair, he pushed Gu Yufei through the door.
Xu Zhinian looked at Chen Mingxi's back and was stunned for a moment.
Gu Huaizhi glanced at him and asked,
"Do you think it's similar?"
"Yes." Xu Zhinian shook his head again after saying, "It doesn't look like it, they are not the same person after all."
"Not the same person, but equally scheming." Gu Huaizhi pinched his eyebrows and patted Xu Zhinian's shoulder, "You have been tired for a long day, so go back."
"Okay, Mr. Gu. I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."
Gu Huaizhi waved his hand and climbed up the steps.
Chen Mingxi stood in the corner of the corridor, watching Xu Zhinian leave, then straightened his clothes and went downstairs.
