Chapter 61
"Cough cough—" Shen Zhao was drinking water, choked it out, and looked at Chi Zhoubai next to him in shock, his face flushed with cough.
Seeing her reaction, Chi Zhoubai unconsciously pursed a smile, and subconsciously raised his hand to pat her on the back, Shen Zhao quietly avoided it, screwed on the bottle cap in his hand, and tried his best to maintain his face. Quietly, he asked her nervously, "Why are you asking this?"
Chi Zhoubai seemed to have guessed that she would ask such a question for a long time, and blurted out slowly: "It's nothing, just ask casually."
In the dim car, Shen Zhao heard her voice, and his expression slowly froze, thinking about Chi Zhou's intentions inside and outside the vernacular.
Chi Zhoubai also tilted his head to look at her, his eyes fell on the strand of hair that fell gently from the sideburns of her side face, and the light and shadow from the window came in, swayingly reflected on her side face, the dim yellow light and shadow overlapped, some A kind of intoxicated taste.
"So, is there any?" Chi Zhoubai continued to ask again.
Shen Zhao glanced at her and said coldly, "It's none of your business."
Chi Zhoubai teased: "Why is it none of my business? If you don't have it, can I chase you?"
Shen Zhao was taken aback, and her eyes met Chi Zhoubai. Her half-joking words were light-hearted. Shen Zhao was stunned for a long time before scolding her head to the side: "You are crazy!"
She was a little flustered, and subconsciously used this reaction to cover up her anxiety.
Chi Zhoubai was stunned, and then laughed softly, but did not continue to struggle with this topic.
It doesn't matter whether it's down or not.
Twenty minutes later, when the car arrived at its destination, Shen Zhao glanced out the window, then remembered and forgot to ask her, "What activity is this?"
Chi Zhoubai said lightly, "A charity auction."
Shen Zhao was stunned for a while. She had never participated in such an event. To ease the embarrassment of the topic just now, she deliberately turned her eyes away and asked, "What auction items have you prepared?"
Chi Zhou smiled: "You, didn't I say I want to sell you?"
Shen Zhao was choked and was speechless.
She got nervous tonight and said a lot of indiscriminate words. Shen Zhao hated this feeling a little bit, and didn't want to go around guessing with her again, so he went straight to the past: "Chi Zhoubai, your brain is broken tonight, right? !" Without looking at her, he opened the car door and went out without looking back.
Chi Zhoubai was stunned by her sudden temper, and sat there for a long time, and after a long while, he grinned silently with a grin on the corner of his mouth.
Uncle Zhang in the driver's seat caught a glimpse of the person in the rearview mirror and said in a low voice, "This bone is probably not easy to chew on."
Chi Zhoubai paused for a while, looked up and smiled, "Come slowly, you can always bite into your mouth."
Then he opened the door and got out of the car.
This charity auction is a private event, not commercial, and there are no celebrities.
Chi Zhoubai's coming today was purely arranged by Xiao Chengye.
Xiao Chengye is Chi Zhoubai's boss, also the boss of Jiaming Entertainment. He has harassed her for a long time. In order to let her come to this charity auction, he sends people to look for her every day. Chi Zhoubai doesn't like him, but he is afraid of being attacked by him. Threatening to report indiscriminately, she had no choice but to promise to speak up.
But she didn't want to be alone with him, so she pulled Shen Zhao over and said it was a company event.
After getting out of the car, there was a special receptionist at the door, and Su Yihan, Chi Zhoubai's agent, also came. She knew about Chi Zhoubai and Xiao Chengye, so she came over first and waited for Chi Zhoubai at the door.
Su Yihan caught a glimpse of Shen Zhao who got off the car with Chi Zhoubai, frowned slightly, went up to meet him, and asked Chi Zhoubai, "Why did you bring her too?"
Chi Zhoubai glanced at the person behind him lightly, and said softly, "It's not convenient for Xiao Zhao to carry a bag or something."
Shen Zhao carried his bag and followed behind Chi Zhoubai.
Su Yihan glanced at her and said, "Don't walk around when you go in later, you know?"
Shen Zhao nodded nervously, but did not speak.
It was cold outside, Su Yihan took the invitation card and brought Chi Zhoubai and Shen Zhao into the venue.
The venue is luxuriously furnished, and at a glance, the eyes are full of splendor.
Shen Zhao just glanced at it quickly, and knew that these people were not celebrities. They were all a little older. They looked like entrepreneurs and businessmen.
Su Yihan took Chi Zhoubai and Shen Zhao to the self-help office in the southwest corner, which was a little remote, and no one came to greet him.
Although Chi Zhoubai is a star, today's event is not a public event, and all the people who come here are successful business people. To put it bluntly, this charity auction is just a social meeting for the rich to exchange contacts and discuss business. .
And Chi Zhoubai's role is completely Xiao Chengye's female companion.
In the end, Jiaming Entertainment was only supported by one Chi Zhoubai. If there was no acquisition funding from the Song family, it would have been unknown in which unknown corner of the annihilation.
Therefore, Xiao Chengye brought Chi Zhoubai here today, which can be regarded as the facade of Jiaming.
However, in a private high-level chamber of commerce like this, Xiao Chengye, no one would take him seriously at all. It is estimated that even his invitations don't know where he got it.
The gongs are staggered, the crystal lights on the roof shone down, and the light and shadow overlap, which is a luxury belonging to the upper class.
Xiao Chengye was talking to someone when he turned around and suddenly saw Chi Zhoubai and the others, he hurriedly left with a smile, and walked to Chi Zhoubai's room.
Xiao Chengye was young and considered a rich second-generation.
He likes Chi Zhoubai, and he has been chasing people for a long time without catching up, so he has put a lot of effort into Chi Zhoubai.
Seeing Chi Zhoubai, Xiao Chengye's eyes were straight, he walked over quickly, and asked with a smile, "Why didn't you come to me?"
Chi Zhou's white eyebrows hung with a cold expression: "It's good to be here."
Xiao Chengye was accustomed to Chi Zhoubai's indifference to him, and he was not annoyed. With a smile on his face, he reached out to hold her, "I'll take you—"
Chi Zhoubai was a little angry, so he avoided his outstretched hand, pressing his voice and said, "Xiao Chengye, if you move again, I will destroy you!"
Shen Zhao followed behind Chi Zhoubai, so he easily heard her words.
She was stunned for a moment, her eyes looked between the two of them for a moment, and then she vaguely reacted.
"Chengye, President Wang is over there..." Someone next to him suddenly shouted at Xiao Chengye, motioning for him to go with him.
Xiao Chengye squinted slightly and looked at Chi Zhoubai with deep meaning in his eyes, and finally withdrew his hand and said nothing, turned and left.
Chi Zhoubai looked at Xiao Chengye's look just now, subconsciously a little scared.
No one knows better than her how many unspoken rules are in this industry. She looks great on the surface, but in fact she has no backers. The past few years of hard work are just castles in the air. ruined her.
The best thing is that she can't get it. She can speak coldly to Xiao Chengye now, but he is still patient at the moment and willing to accommodate himself. In addition, Jiaming has to rely on her, but she is afraid that one day, Xiao Chengye will suddenly tear up. Broken face.
Su Yihan also looked at Xiao Chengye who was leaving and pondered for a while, then withdrew his gaze and looked at Chi Zhoubai, who also caught a glimpse of her eyes, and the moment they met, he had a tacit meaning.
This is a matter of time. As long as Chi Zhoubai still wants to be in this industry, he can't escape Xiao Chengye's palm. Probably Xiao Chengye also understands this, so Chi Zhoubai's cold words to him, he just regards her as a coquettish coquette. .
But a man's patience will eventually run out.
Chi Zhoubai was a little flustered, she took a deep breath, turned around and said, "I'm going to the bathroom."
Su Yihan looked at Chi Zhoubai's panicked back, a little worried, and turned to Shen Zhao and said, "Go and see her."
Shen Zhao was stunned, and said in a hurry, "Okay."
Then he also raised his heels on Chi Zhoubai and went to the bathroom together.
It was very quiet in the bathroom, Shen Zhao was waiting outside with a bag in his hand, and she probably saw it just now that the man named Xiao Chengye was harassing Chi Zhoubai.
Shen Zhao hated this kind of person, especially when he knew that Chi Zhoubai was Ji Cub, he even felt disgusted.
She didn't know how powerful that person was, and whether Chi Zhoubai would be afraid of him, but looking at Chi Zhoubai's face just now, it didn't seem very good-looking.
"Are you okay?" Shen Zhao leaned against the bathroom door and asked her softly.
It was very quiet inside, and there was no sound. Chi Zhoubai responded to her after a long while, and his voice sounded a little hoarse: "I'm fine..."
She sniffed, feeling sour.
In fact, she has been in a bad mood all this time. She picked up "Qiqiao" on purpose in a fit of anger. She wanted to get out of this filthy circle and simply pursue what she likes.
But such a simple wish is difficult to reach the sky.
Shen Zhao kept waiting outside, Chi Zhoubai stayed in the bathroom for a long time without making a sound, Shen Zhao didn't know what to say, so he just stayed with her silently.
I don't know how long it took, Chi Zhoubai came out from the inside, his eyes were red, and when he saw Shen Zhao who was still waiting outside, his expression suddenly froze.
Shen Zhao glanced at her red eyes and knew that she had cried. She asked her softly, "Did that person harass you just now?"
Chi Zhoubai was stunned, raised his eyes and glanced at her, and there was water in his eyes. She didn't want to care about her now, she just said lightly, "It's none of your business."
She didn't want to involve anyone else.
Chi Zhoubai walked to the sink, Shen Zhao followed and saw the person in the mirror. Although there are times when she has a bad temper and what to say, she never ignores the occasion, and is often criticized for her low IQ, but most of the time, she is gentle and gentle, and will be humorous and humorous with the actors in the crew. The staff tell jokes.
Celebrities are people too, they can be happy and sad.
But in the eyes of the public, they will always be superstars with infinite beauty, and they will never be troubled.
Chi Zhoubai bent over, held the water from the tap with both hands, and directly washed his face with water regardless of makeup and occasion.
Seeing this, Shen Zhao quickly took out a tissue from his bag and handed it over.
Chi Zhoubai straightened up, caught a glimpse of the paper towel stretched out from the bottom of her eyes, and was dazed for a moment, she stared at the hand lightly and didn't take it.
Shen Zhao spoke with a hint of comfort: "If that person is difficult, you don't have to bear it."
The makeup on Chi Zhoubai's face was all gone, but it was better than his skin. Under the shadow of the incandescent lamp, he was still fair and clean and could not see a single pore.
Chi Zhoubai raised his eyes, and his eyes fell on Shen Zhao's face.
"You help me?" Chi Zhoubai asked her back.
Shen Zhao pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, then looked at her and solemnly hummed.
Chi Zhoubai stared at that innocent face, and suddenly sneered.
"childish."
She reached out to pick up the tissue in her hand. Just as her fingers touched her fingertips, she suddenly changed direction, clasped her wrist directly, and pulled the person over.
Shen Zhao was startled, his whole body staggered and almost fell.
Chi Zhoubai grabbed her arm, the other hand naturally wrapped around her waist, and pulled her whole body towards him, she lowered her head and leaned over, stopping half a finger away from her lips, Chi Zhoubai stared at her.Looking at her, he opened his lips and asked with a light smile, "Who are you to me, why do you help me?"
The sudden approach, Shen Zhao was startled, clenched his fists tightly and struggled back.
At the same time, someone suddenly walked in outside.
The moment he raised his eyes, Shen Zhao caught a glimpse of the familiar figure, and a heart suddenly raised in his throat.
Song Ling stopped there with a red dress, his eyes burst into flames, staring at the two people who were leaning against each other in front of him, and asked in a stern voice, "What are you doing?!"
