The patron is sick

Today is a big day for Zhushi Group.

Zhu Qingxiang was originally a rough man who rolled in reinforced concrete. He had been engaged in real estate all his life. In the past two years, he gritted his teeth and wanted to transform into a self-sustaining business, so he spent a lot of money to build the largest commercial complex in Bincheng in an excellent location.Today is the opening ceremony of this giant shopping mall.

Although the history of the Zhu family is not long, it is still a well-known family in Bincheng.The local wealthy families sold Zhu Qingxiang three points of face, and they all sent people to congratulate him.Coupled with the big and small celebrities invited to add to the fun and the reporters attracted, the scene was very lively, and Zhu Qingxiang was in the limelight.

58-year-old Zhu Qingxiang's face was flushed, and standing beside him was his son Zhu Yu.The two father and son look alike, and they are both handsome, but the father is getting old and has shown a stooped old appearance; the son's dark circles and big bags under the eyes don't look so healthy. Sincerely.

There are rumors in the Jianghu that the reason why Zhu Qingxiang is in a hurry to transform is precisely because his son's mud can't support the wall, and he may not be able to take over Zhu's real estate business.That's why the old man rushed to raise a few chickens that lay golden eggs before retirement, so as to keep his prodigal son safe for the rest of his life. This commercial complex is a big deal among them.

The venue is full of enthusiasm and has the magic power of a magnet, attracting celebrities to arrive one after another.

Shao Zigui and several other members of the group came to Bincheng to add to the fun of this event.

When they got off the plane, they were surrounded by enthusiastic fans. The most popular Kong Zhejun and Qu Yi kept nodding and waving, wantonly showing their handsomeness and kindness to the camera.Manager Lin Yi urged them to leave like ducks, and at the same time turned around and gave Shao Zigui a look, forcing him to raise his head and smile.

This men's group has existed for six years in a calm manner, and it has long existed in name only, and the only one who really made it to the top is Kong Zhejun.Qu Yi can still go to the entertainment news from time to time to gain a sense of presence, and the other two have been fluttering on the [-]th line without splashing.The reason why the company still insists on not disbanding the group is probably because they want to use Kong Zhejun to attract Qu Yi. The two of them are a powerful faction, and the other is playing with traffic. The bundled sales are still a bit profitable.As for Shao Zigui and Mu Chen, they can only be regarded as extras at best.

In fact, when the men’s group first debuted, Shao Zigui was responsible for the group’s appearance. The company worked hard to create him as a melancholy and noble son. However, his personality is too quiet, and he subconsciously hides from the camera, so he is really not popular.Besides, he is melancholy enough, but you can't talk about being expensive. He is just a miserable poor boy, and he can't do enough to insist on a princely look.

Over the years, with the improvement of medical aesthetics and makeup methods, his natural beauty has lost his competitive advantage, and he has finally become a transparent person over time.When he felt that he couldn't make it through, Shao Zigui often reflected on whether he had entered the wrong line of work, or changed his line of work as soon as possible to clean up the dishes.

However, he is out of form today, not because he has lost his enthusiasm for work, but because Bincheng is his hometown.He used to accompany his mother on the sick bed to spend the last time here, so when the plane landed over Bincheng, he felt a sense of nostalgia and mixed feelings.

It is said to be his hometown, but in fact he has nothing left here.The mother's illness was bet on the family's cash and real estate, as well as the debt that has not been paid off until now.

Here, there are only creditors.

After being reminded by Lin Yi, Shao Zigui finally broke free from the state of wandering in the sky, and barely opened his business.But no matter how good his smile is, these fans are not here for him.

But that's okay, he's used to being ignored.His dream is very humble, probably to find a corner that belongs to him to hide, and never be discovered by others.

Qu Yi is the thorny head of the group, the most troublesome.When Kong Zhejun got into the car, he was still arguing with enthusiastic fans, hugging his arms full of snacks and small gifts, until he was finally dragged into the car by Lin Yi, and he even blew kisses through the car window.

"Hmph." Kong Zhejun couldn't understand his virtue, so he snorted coldly.

"Why, are you jealous of how many fans I have?" As soon as the car door was closed, Qu changed his face in an instant, his smile turned into sarcasm, and his speech became sly.

"Hmph." Kong Zhejun snorted again, noncommittal.

"Who has more fans, don't you have any clues?" Qu Yiqiong pursued and beat him fiercely.

Frankly speaking, Kong Zhejun is definitely stronger.But he has a serious personality, he was the captain of the group when he debuted, and his mind is more mature than the others.In the past few years, relying on two masterpieces of TV dramas, he has been favored by major directors, and has entered the film industry with a bright future.But because he is too busy with work, his interaction with fans is decreasing day by day, and he rarely shows his face on entertainment shows. If we only talk about the number of followers on Weibo and the number of stupid fans, he may not be as good as Qu Yi, who is busy selling people and setting up gossip every day. .

Qu Yi couldn't get his response, so he punched the cotton, and angrily threw all the snack dolls in his hand to Lin Yi in the front row, probably wanting her to help put them away.Because of the rough action, things spilled all over the floor.Lin Yi frowned in displeasure, her lips trembled, and finally she still didn't speak out to criticize this little ancestor.

"Qu Yi, isn't that a gift from fans?" Mu Chen, who was sitting in the back row, carefully reminded.

With a snap of his fingers, Qu flicked away a doll that landed between his legs, and sneered, "They're all junk food and cheap stuff, you can eat them if you like them."

When he was talking, Lin Yi managed to free up a plastic bag to pack up these small items.Kong Zhejun said in displeasure, "Is Sister Lin your manager alone?"

"It's not that the company has too many rules and doesn't let me bring my own people!" Qu sprayed as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Forget it, forget it," Mu Chen said as a peacemaker, "It's only one day, I'll go back tomorrow."

Sister Lin is nearly forty years old, she is fat and thick, and she is an old scalper-type agent who always takes care of newcomers like a nanny, so it is difficult to get ahead in this industry.These four children have followed her since their debut. Although Kong Zhejun and Qu Yi now have their own exclusive managers and assistants, but this time they appear as a group, the company does not allow them to bring too many people, so Lin Yi still takes the lead. They come.

Speaking of it, Qu Yizui is sweet. At first, he was the child that Lin Yi took care of the most. Unexpectedly, he is also the one who is the most rude to Lin Yi now.Lin Yi bowed for the last time to hook out the snack bag in the corner and put it in the bag, silently feeling that she might be like this in her life, always seeing people wrongly.

She managed to suppress her anger, and spoke gently to confirm today's itinerary and precautions with them: "I will go to the shopping mall to perform a show and sing three songs, and then I will take you back to the hotel for a rest, and there will be a reception at the manor in the evening .”

"Sister Lin, can I not go to the reception?" Shao Zigui was quiet all the way, and finally spoke.He is not good at drinking, and his mouth is stupid, and he panics when he hears a drinking party.Besides, in his concept, singing and dancing are part of his job and he has to go, so what the hell is going to a reception?

"Hmph," this time it was Qu Yi who snorted coldly, and said mockingly, "Why don't you say you have no future." He is well aware of the unspoken rules of this business. An important show not to be missed.

"This is also a reception arranged by Mrs. Zhu. It's better to go." Lin Yi patiently explained to Shao Zigui, and then asked: "What special situation do you have?"

"Big aunt." Qu Yizui said.

Shao Zigui was used to his virtues, so he pretended not to hear, and whispered the reason: "Bincheng is my hometown, I want to visit my mother."

"I remembered, Bincheng is your hometown!" Mu Chen's eyes lit up, more excited than Shao Zigui.

"Hasn't your mother been dead for many years?" Qu Yigou couldn't spit out ivory.

"I think..." Shao Zigui tightened his fists on his knees, no matter how much he endured, he was still hurt by Qu Yi's repeated provocations, so his voice trembled a little: "Go visit my mother's grave."

"You can't go to the grave at night, how scary." Lin Yi flipped through the small notebook she carried with her: "I see that you have no work arrangements for the past few days, so I can give you two days off, but after tonight, your You have to take care of your own food and lodging in Bincheng.” It’s an unspoken rule in this business that celebrities have to go to accompany the patron to entertain them. She doesn’t know whether Shao Zigui is pretending to be stupid or what, but whether it’s for his future or her own responsibilities, she You have to get people over there.

"Xiao Shao, let's go." Kong Zhejun said: "I can see a lot of seniors at night, we can chat. I heard that although Sheng Jiashu will not come to the ceremony to sing, she will come at night."

"The Empress Sheng Jiashu!" Shao Zigui was surprised.Although he is not a few years older than him, because Sheng Jiashu debuted as a child star and has been popular for many years, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is Shao Zigui's childhood idol.A few years ago, when Kong Zhejun and Qu Yi did not make a fortune, the four of them lived together in the dormitory arranged by the company, and they all saw the posters and peripheral products secretly collected by Shao Zigui.

Shao Zigui hesitated for a while, but finally chose to be obedient and did not ask for leave.

Lin Yi's guess was right, Shao Zigui was just playing dumb.

He has been in the industry for so many years, it is impossible for him to understand the stakes, but he neither has Kong Zhejun's ability to talk and laugh, and is different from Qu Yi, who has a sharp head and wants to be popular. The beautiful boy who is willing to sleep with him may cause trouble if he goes away.A few years ago, after he rudely rejected several bosses who molested him, he has always had lingering fears, and he hid as much as he could.

The interior of the car was finally quiet, driving towards the shopping mall that will be unveiled today.Only Qu Yi was still muttering, "How did you know Sheng Jiashu was coming?"

Kong Zhejun didn't answer him.

The scene of the ceremony.

A tall and thin man appeared at the entrance and was stopped because there was no invitation card.His complexion was pale, and he wore sunglasses on a cloudy day. His behavior was weird, and he immediately attracted the attention of the security guards.But he is polite, well-dressed, and his appearance has nothing to do with thugs; moreover, although he is tall, he has an unhealthy femininity, which does not give people a sense of oppression.Two staff members in suits and leather shoes surrounded him, trying to persuade him to leave and not to make a big noise.

The man slowly took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of extremely beautiful but gloomy eyes, he nodded and looked around.Relying on his extraordinary height advantage, he caught a glimpse of Zhu Qingxiang and his son who were busy entertaining at the venue from afar.

"Excuse me," the corner of the man's mouth curled up, with a hint of sarcasm: "Can you go and tell Mr. Zhu Qingxiang that his son Zhu Ye is here?"

The two staff members looked at each other. Although they had never heard of Mr. Zhu having any other sons, the nobility of the man's gestures should not be desecrated. It took several generations to accumulate wealth, and it was unlikely that they could afford to offend them. people.In the end, I still had a heartbreak and decided to inform him.
