MTL - Still Explosive-~ ☆Chapter 51
Not long after the advertisement was launched, Xu Yan's fans skyrocketed. With the bonus of Gu Yu's girlfriend status, her career experienced the third "soaring" within a year. Sure enough, as Manager Li said, this advertisement helped her open it directly. After opening another door, the fashion circle in urgent need of fresh blood noticed her, and major brand owners threw olive branches to her, inviting her to participate in brand activities, new product promotions, and even recommending her to go abroad to watch next spring and summer. Fashion Week... Even the vlogs that were made just for sharing life in the past have also been spotted by brand owners, and they have come to seek cooperation.
For a time, Manager Li's phone was softly received.
Xu still sits with Manager Li and his daughter in a hot pot restaurant near LangStudio, steaming the meat. Xu still came over for a meeting today, remembering that Manager Li had helped him a lot, so he invited their father and daughter to have lunch together.
Li Qiqi put meat in her mouth and said vaguely, "I heard my dad say that there are many businesses looking for you to promote. Congratulations, you are worthy of my goddess!"
Having known Li Qiqi for so long, Xu is still not used to her flattering words, she waved her hand and said humbly: "How can there be so many, and I have to screen it with Manager Li, and I won't promote anything. received."
Li Qiqi swallowed the meat in her mouth and said with emotion: "How many people are still eagerly waiting for the favor of the 'Golden Master's father', and you have reached the stage where you can choose them. I am really envious."
Manager Li glanced at his daughter and gave a cold arrow: "If you shoot a video for three days and fish for two days, don't be envious of others, you don't like to shoot videos, and you don't know how to manage the online business well. Image. Don't say anything else, just say that you have eaten two plates of beef since this meal, and then you are still a sister, only eating vegetables without dipping sauces, what do people call that, self-discipline! Professional!"
Xu Yiyuan, who was just about to put vegetables in his mouth, turned into a "child from someone else's family". She put down her chopsticks in embarrassment, and Li Qiqi, who was ruthlessly criticized by her father, was so angry that her face was wrinkled, but Manager Li seemed to be coming, and was still babbling.
Xu still had no choice but to smooth things out for the father and daughter, "Qiqi is still young, making videos is just her hobby. My nature is different from hers, so don't embarrass her too much."
"It's the same in essence. I can't hold on to this trivial matter. What will I do when I work in the future? Her attitude is not good."
Xu still looked at Li Qiqi with an expression of "I tried my best". Li Qiqi pouted and lost his appetite as he looked at the fragrant hot pot in front of him.
Manager Li didn't take Xu still as an outsider. After becoming a typical Chinese parent, he returned to his professional side and discussed the future development path with Xu still.
"You are in the early stage of your popularity, and the selection of advertisements is particularly important. You can't rush for quick success. I will directly reject those who give a lot of money but are not suitable for your style. I have selected a few from these promotions that are suitable for your route. It is relatively tall, I will send it to you later, if there is no problem, I will start the contract.”
Xu was still at ease with Manager Li's work, and nodded his head to follow his wishes.
They chatted about work, and Li Qiqi, who was on the side, stopped eating, and was bored to mix the sauce in the bowl with chopsticks.
Manager Li asked, "Why don't you eat it? Don't you like hot pot the most?"
Li Qiqi rolled her eyes, "You told me a meal in front of my goddess, I'm not in the mood to eat."
Only then did Manager Li notice that his daughter turned out to be angry.
Xu still used his eyes to signal to him to hurry up and coax.
"Oh, Dad was in a hurry just now. The starting point is for your own good," Manager Li put the boiled meat into Li Qiqi's bowl. "Besides, I'm still not an outsider. Don't be angry, let's eat quickly."
Li Qiqi pouted silently, looking still angry.
Manager Li had no choice, so he lowered his voice and said, "Don't be angry, Dad won't say anything in the future, okay? My daughter is the best, and I don't need to change anything."
Li Qiqi has a typical childish temper, and when she hears good words, she immediately smiles, "Really?"
"of course it's true."
Xu still smiled and watched the warm interaction between the father and daughter on the opposite side. She just smiled, and an indescribable emotion grew in her heart.
Kiki, you have such a good father, teach you how to be a human being, and still make you happy, I envy you before it's too late.
Xu still imagined that if her parents were still there, seeing her achievements and finding a good boyfriend like Gu Yu, she would definitely be happy for her. Her emotional father might say, "You are mine. Proud" and the mother would laugh at her father with her, as she had done countless times before.
She wanted to share her joys, sorrows and sorrows with her family, and listen to her parents' comfort and guidance, but she had lost the ordinary and warm family that others easily had for a long time.
Xu Yuanyuan's eyes were gradually covered with water vapor, she wiped it quickly with her hands, looked up at the blue sky, and said to herself: Mom and Dad in the sky, my life and work are very good, don't worry, and I'm the same as always miss you.
At the end, she showed a bright smile to the clouds in the sky, hoping that this flawless cloud could bring her thoughts of her parents.
As early winter approached, the weather was already very cold, Xu still wrapped his coat tightly, and walked slowly along the path.
After crossing a few old streets, she arrived at her house. In order to digest the heat from eating hot pot just now, she decided to walk back.
Leaving the bustling commercial street, she turned into a small road.
After walking a few steps, Xu still suddenly heard footsteps behind her. She turned around, but there was no one behind her.
Thinking she heard it wrong, she moved on. Not long after, footsteps sounded again.
Xu still drummed in her heart, she vaguely realized that someone was following her, she clenched the mobile phone in her pocket, and wanted to take a few steps to get out of this path.
She speeded up, and the person behind even dared to speed up. Xu still sweated from behind. Seeing that the bustling commercial street was just around the corner, she walked faster and faster, hoping to go out earlier.
At this moment, a dark shadow suddenly appeared from behind, and a man stood in front of her. Xu still stopped, gasping for breath. She looked at the middle-aged man with a short stature and a dark complexion in front of her, who was wearing a tattered military coat. .
Xu still took two steps back and distanced himself from him.
She quickly thought about various possibilities in her mind. If it was easy to rob money, she was willing to give him the wallet. If he wanted something else, Xu still had to fight to the death. The downtown area was in front of her, and she shouted a few times. Someone will surely notice.
Unexpectedly, the man in front of him didn't speak, and was looking at her up and down. Xu still stepped back, took a defensive posture, and looked at him nervously.
At the end, the man grinned, "Still?"
She didn't react, the man took a step towards her, Xu still stepped back and shouted, "Don't come here!"
The man responded repeatedly: "Okay, if I don't go over, do you still not recognize me? I'm your uncle."
uncle?
Xu still stood up with all the hair on her body, she stared at the man, trying to compare the wrinkled face now with the one in her memory.
The two faces gradually overlapped, and she finally believed that the man in front of her was indeed the so-called uncle who defrauded her parents of compensation.
All the bad memories about him flooded into her mind. She looked at the man's aging face in disgust and sneered in her heart. It seemed that even if she took the money, his life would not be much better.
The man chuckled: "How about we find a place to chat? It's been a long time since I saw you, and I wouldn't even dare to recognize you as a big girl."
"No need, how did you find me?" Xu was still alienated, as if she remembered something. "You follow me?"
The man rubbed his hands together, "I didn't expect you to develop so well now. I accidentally saw your photo on the billboard, found your company, and squatted at the door for several days before I saw you..."
She frowned and interrupted him angrily, "If you have something to say, what exactly do you want to do?!"
Seeing that Xu was still impatient with him, the man went straight to the point, "As you can see, my uncle hasn't been doing well in the past few years. He owes a lot of gambling debts, and he can't work on the construction site. You can shoot commercials, it must be Did you make a lot of money?"
He shamelessly said, "If you have money, can you borrow some money from your uncle?"
The thickness of this person's face really made Xu still amazed. She asked him in disbelief: "I heard it right, you want me to give you money? Why should I give you the money I earn?"
The man smiled, not feeling embarrassed at all, "I'm your uncle, for the sake of your father..."
"Don't mention my father!" Xu still couldn't bear it any longer. She pointed at the man with a sharp voice: "You cheated them out of the compensation money! They paid for it with their lives! You don't deserve to mention him!"
Xu Yanxiu's eyebrows were wrinkled, and her tears were about to fall. In an instant, she seemed to be back in the year when she lost her parents. At the age of 16, she stood in the phone booth, calling him over and over again, listening to the receiver. 's mechanical voice: "The call you dialed is temporarily unavailable..."
Xu Yanyan digs her fingernails into the flesh on her fingers, and she barely regained her sanity under the stimulation of bursts of pain, her voice trembling: "I won't give you a penny to a selfish and inhumane person. You die with this heart!"
Seeing her reaction was so intense, the man put away his hypocritical smile and threatened her viciously: "Aren't you afraid that I will break your story online? I think the netizens who like you don't know about the death of your parents. Well, maybe I can add more fuel to it and say that your parents got into a car accident because you quarreled with them, and what happened to them driving out to find you in a hurry? When you say it, what will they say about you? "
Xu still trembled with anger, "Shut up, you are so shameless!"
Her parents are her bottom line and the wound in her heart that will never heal. She even told Gu Yu that she mustered her courage to do it. Today, this wound that was finally healed was maliciously torn open, and salt was sprinkled on it. .
Her tears fell as if they were broken. She was so angry that she couldn't say anything else, she just said over and over: "You are shameless! You are shameless!"
The man showed his yellow teeth, and he smiled grimly, "1 million, I will never appear in front of you again, and I will never spread rumors on the Internet, how about that?"
Xu still had her lips trembling, her face numb from crying, she pointed at the man in front of her, but her throat could not make a sound.
Shameless!
The man walked in front of her and dropped a note, "We will contact the payment location by phone in a week, I only need cash, don't play tricks."
He looked at Xu Yiran with a frivolous tone, "One million shouldn't be too much for you. I heard that your boyfriend is very rich. If you spend more time with him, the money will be available."
He smiled maliciously and left.
Xu still moved her steps and squatted against the wall. She cried hard for a while before she calmed down. Her mind was blank, as if she had lost all her ability to think, and she didn't know what to do next.
After a long while, she subconsciously took out her mobile phone and made a call.
The moment she picked up the phone, after hearing the other party's warm voice, Xu still cried uncontrollably. She said to the phone intermittently, "What should I do?"
