two
Upon hearing Du Mo's inquiry, the uncle had no choice but to step aside, and Peng Peng smiled as he took Xu Qingying's hand and walked inside
"There is no need to apologize to me, for it is actually the entire Pinkgirls you owe an apology to." Peng Peng did not turn around, and her voice carried a hint of coldness, "You have no idea how long Jin Bei fought for this program, nor do you know how long we have undergone reaction training to participate in the show. We are newcomers and do not have the privilege to be picky."
After speaking, she extended a hand and quietly pushed Xu Qingying's back, compelling her to bow alongside herself
Let’s go, Jin Bei is already waiting for us in the parking lot. Peng Peng walked over and pulled Xu Qingying up, noticing her slightly reddened eyes, and sighed.
Peng Peng cast her a worried glance once more before quickly leaving
"Hello, what are you doing?" Xu Qingying answered the phone listlessly
Looking at that imposing figure, Du Mo suddenly found it quite interesting
I... I did not mean to, I just feel that they are being too bullying.
Furious, Xu Qingying straightened her back and forcefully pulled Peng Peng's hand, leading her outside
After finally finishing the recording of the program, Du Mo Lian did not even express the most basic gratitude, and under the guidance of the boisterous Hawaiian uncle, returned to the lounge
Knock knock knock
Jin Bei looked at the two girls in stage costumes, who were sleeping with their heads leaning against each other in the back seat through the rearview mirror. He silently adjusted the air conditioning temperature a little higher so that they could rest well
At this moment, Peng Peng, who had been away for an unknown duration, finally returned. Upon seeing Xu Qingying still standing in place, she visibly let out a sigh of relief
"You directors are really annoying." Xu Qingying slowly sat down on the tarmac, holding a mobile phone in one hand and unconsciously tracing the ground markings with the other. "It seems like I made a lot of mistakes today... First, I offended the director, and then I might have offended my senior as well."
Jackson, do you think she is interested in me?
Who? Uncle from Hawaii, no, Jackson was momentarily taken aback.
A tall ponytail tied with a large blue bow not only accentuated the delicacy of her face but also instantly elongated her height proportions
Watching Peng Peng close his eyes, Xu Qingying quietly signaled to Jin Bei, who was driving in the front row, to turn off the radio, and then leaned against Peng Peng's head, also closing her eyes
Let Xu Wanqiao deal with the headache of Xu Qingying today
It must be said that artists are indeed different from one another. The lounge used by the sixteen members of Pinkgirls is not even half the size of this lounge. Not to mention that this lounge is actually a small suite, fully equipped with basic living necessities, and it even has a hand coffee grinder!
Alright, I swear I won't run around. I can swear on Xu Wanqiao, that should be sufficient.
It is no exaggeration to say that the entire Akimoto Company is supported by him alone. Therefore, not only does he hold a transcendent position within the company, but he is also among the top in the entire entertainment industry in terms of current popularity
"Are you looking for me for something?" Du Mo leisurely turned the bronze-gilded handle of the coffee machine, gently grinding the coffee beans, while casually observing the two young girls in front of him
Peng Peng ... ... I am sorry. Looking at the unusually silent captain, Xu Qingying felt a bit anxious in her heart
Did you lose your temper at him again? Only Xu Wanqiao can be so tolerant of you. He studied directing to be closer to you. You can tell him everything that happened today; I believe he will provide you with a perfect analysis and summary. " After Peng Peng finished speaking, she gently tucked the stray hair behind Xu Qingying's ear, "You should clarify your position as soon as possible
"Auntie, please don't cry. I didn't say you did anything wrong; it's all my fault, okay? Please don't cry. Soon, Jin Bei will take you home, and I will go to your house to speak to you in person, alright?" Xu Wanqiao's voice on the other end of the phone was filled with affection.
Xu Qingying nodded, took the album handed over by Jin Bei, and after several people signed it and wrote some words of gratitude, Peng Peng led Xu Qingying towards the lounge
There is no need to say more, Qingying, this matter is already in the past. However, I hope you remember this lesson; you are not just yourself, but also represent us, the Pinkgirls. " Jin Bei's usually amiable expression turned serious.
As the knocking sound echoed, Xu Qingying suddenly felt a bit nervous. Just moments ago, Peng Peng had coldly told her a lot about Du Mo, and it was only then that she realized that the seemingly carefree boy was actually the true "God of Wealth" of Qiuyuan Company.
Xu Qingying suddenly felt as if a needle had been inserted into her heart, causing a sharp pain that she could not remove. She did not understand why her simple act of standing up for a friend would lead to so many chain reactions, and why no one seemed to understand her.
However, at this moment, Xu Qingying had finally found an outlet for her emotions, so how could she stop so quickly? She held her phone and sobbed, saying: "Don't come over, even if you do, I won't pay attention to you! I was wronged and thought you would understand!"
Du Mo took the album with one hand and casually opened it to flip through the promotional booklet inside. The interior of the makeshift studio was clearly lacking in funds, but the sixteen young girls in the booklet all wore smiles, their eyes sparkling as they looked at the camera, as if imbued with starlight
Damn Xu Wanqiao, at this moment you can only firmly stand on the same front as me, how can you laugh?
Forget it, you wouldn't understand even if I told you. This method of flirting that goes against the norm is quite interesting. Isn't there a line in my play that goes, 'Woman, you have successfully caught my attention'? I think I have a rough idea of what that feeling is like
"What is this for? I am not saying this to you, but as a junior sister, you should have the awareness of a junior sister. We, Du Mo, are quite busy. Since there is nothing else, you may leave for now." The uncle from Hawaii could not help but interject, issuing the order to dismiss.
How interesting, it has been a long time since anyone looked at him so directly
Suddenly, the phone that had been silent rang. Looking at the familiar name on the caller ID, she rolled her eyes, noting that it had been exactly three hours since their last conversation
He is a veteran artist of Akimoto Company, and after unexpectedly becoming a national idol due to a television drama last year, he has transformed into a beloved figure among the public
Du Mo paused his grinding while deep in thought, crossing his arms over his chest as he walked up to the two individuals.
Xu Qingying looked up in surprise at Jin Beiyi, not expecting the situation to be so serious
On the stage where countless lights converge, Xu Qingying still sits in the same corner as before, while Peng Peng, at the host's signal, brings Su Miaona and Wang Anqi to sit beside Du Mo in the front row
Xu Qingying was somewhat puzzled, but Peng Peng did not say anything further. Instead, she leaned closer to Xu Qingying, linking her arm and said: "Let me take a break. I am truly exhausted today because of you bunch of monkeys"
In front of outsiders, Xu Qingying could not struggle and could only bend down in accordance with Peng Peng's strength
"So, you just turned around and left with Peng Peng?" Xu Wanqiao's voice carried a hint of amusement, which made Xu Qingying feel somewhat annoyed
"What is so funny? I'm not doing this for myself. Today, Jin Bei has criticized me, Peng Peng has criticized me, and even Su Miaona seems to have subtly criticized me. But I feel that I have done nothing wrong." Xu Qingying became increasingly aggrieved, her eyes reddening once again, "Xu Wanqiao, how can you think I am wrong just like them?"
Xu Qingying, who was equated with a dog by Du Mo, felt somewhat impatient as Du Mo had not responded for a while. She and Peng Peng had been maintaining a bent posture, and they were beginning to struggle to hold on.
In that moment, Xu Qingying suddenly missed Xu Wanqiao very much. She recalled that no matter what happened before, Xu Wanqiao's first reaction was always to stand in front of her. She had been so well protected by Xu Wanqiao that she thought everything could be handled well, but she did not expect that her own willful behavior would make the situation worse.
With a "click," the door opened, and it was the Hawaiian uncle who personally came to open it. He looked up and down at Peng Peng and Xu Qingying, as if assessing whether such individuals were suitable for Du Mo to meet.
Another girl, wearing a white lace headband adorned with flowers, stared at him with her beautiful apricot-colored eyes wide open
"Who is it?" came Du Mo's lazy voice from inside.
Inspired, Xu Qingying shared everything that happened today with him, from the dazzling moment on stage to the heartache of seeing Peng Peng and Su Miaona fall into the flour pile, and then to her disgust at Du Mo's frivolous attitude
Contemporary audiences emphasize individuality, and Du Mo's narcissism and unconventional thought processes have surprisingly become appealing traits
When Du Mo raised his head, he could only see Xu Qingying pulling Peng Peng away. As Peng Peng was being dragged along helplessly, he was trying to smooth things over with some polite remarks.
"What’s wrong with you? Is the recording not going well?" Upon hearing Xu Qingying's voice, Xu Wanqiao敏感地 noticed that she was not in high spirits
However, Xu Qingying and the others were stopped by Jin Bei. Jin Bei glanced at Xu Qingying, who was clearly still in a daze, and couldn't help but sigh: "If it weren't for Du Mo just now, we might not only have been banned from this program, but the entire television station would probably not invite us again."
Do not run around; wait for me here, do you understand? Once I have retrieved the items, Jin Bei will take us back.
Especially the girl in the middle, she is not the most beautiful, nor does she have the most outstanding temperament, but when she smiles, it makes people feel very comfortable, like the Bichon Frise he raised in his childhood, when she smiles, the whole world seems to brighten up.
After speaking, Xu Qingying directly hung up the phone
Peng Peng, please take Qing Ying to the lounge and thank Du Mo. Wang Anqi, you will come with me; it is time for the photo shoot for "Jia Ren" magazine. Su Miaona, you will take the same car with us first. Peng Peng, I will drop off Wang Anqi and then come back to pick you up.
I originally thought there would be a great deal to say, but who would have known that it could be summed up in just a few words
Xu Qingying stood alone on the rooftop of the television station, idly gazing at the green square helipad that had been transformed on the roof, contemplating that she could suggest filming the next outdoor MV here, which should look quite good.
Peng Peng sat down beside her, watching her repeatedly hang up on the calls from Xu Wanqiao, and could only helplessly speak up first: "Why are you still acting like a child? Xu Wanqiao has protected you too well."
Xu Qingying felt a bit embarrassed and could only lower her head to avoid being seen. As soon as she arrived at the parking lot, she didn't have time to greet Jin Bei and hurriedly took a seat in the back of the car
What is going on? Don't be afraid, take your time to tell me. Xu Wanqiao's voice was filled with concern, yet it also carried a reassuring strength that calmed Xu Qingying.
At this moment, she longed to throw herself into Xu Wanqiao's arms and cry her heart out, but she could only hold back the tears in her eyes and follow Peng Peng to thank Du Mo.
Xu Qingying thought of the dressing room for the girl group, where they could only pull curtains to change clothes ... ? ... Hey, does the gap have to be this obvious
After Du Mo repeatedly avoided the host's cues, Peng Peng and Su Miao Na surprisingly took over the conversation, harmonizing with each other and filling the venue with laughter from time to time. However, in the back row, Xu Qing Ying looked at the back of Du Mo's head and still felt somewhat uncomfortable
Xu Qingying did not hear Du Mo's words, because as soon as she stepped out, Peng Peng pulled her to the rooftop for a lecture. Fortunately, just two minutes into the lecture, Jin Bei asked Peng Peng to find the phone number of the television station's screenwriter, temporarily rescuing Xu Qingying
As the approaching person drew nearer, Peng Peng quickly raised the most beautiful smile that revealed exactly eight teeth and sweetly said: "Senior Brother Du Mo, thank you for taking care of us Pinkgirls. This is our new album, please feel free to offer your guidance when you have time!"
"What does it have to do with him?" Xu Qingying felt somewhat displeased and a bit embarrassed, and she directly turned off her phone
The stage costumes of the two individuals have not yet been changed, and their heavily applied makeup has been dampened by sweat, causing it to smudge somewhat. Fortunately, their natural complexion is good; their porcelain-like skin seems to possess a soft glow, which instead gives off an impression of purity.
