Huayu: From charlatan to great entertainer

Chapter 381 Lead her into the encirclement

"Crystal?"

Mia drove over and just as she rolled down the window, Xiao Liu smiled and waved his hand to refuse: "Wait for me at the intersection, I'll take a walk."

It was a chilly early autumn night. Liu Yifei put on Mia's black coat and walked eastward along the iron-gray shadow of the cable bridge.

The searchlights from the Brooklyn pier flashed by, and the reflection of her black leather jacket made her pretty and graceful figure look like a silver sword piercing the twilight.

The night breeze from the East River lifted the back of his suit, and the corner of his clothes rustled as it brushed against the rusty guardrail, like the sigh of a glacier brushing against volcanic rock.

Concubine Liu Yi was not in a very good mood either.

The unbearable conflict between her and Bingbing ended with her psychological advantage as the real girlfriend and her outwardly restrained attitude.

But although she could be called a winner for the time being, she was not completely happy.

The resonance and mirroring effect of emotions in human nature caused the aftermath of this confrontation to stir up complex ripples in her spiritual world.

The girl's heels crushed the neon reflections all over the ground, and each step was precisely placed on the seams of the steel plates, which now became a yardstick to measure her mood.

Bingbing's spiritual world was shocked by her, and she couldn't help but sigh for the past five or six years.

Should I hate Fan Bingbing? Yes.

But as she herself thought and said, if it weren't for the photo that interrupted her confession, due to the butterfly effect, her and the washing machine might not have been as happy as they are today.

In other words, temporary perfection.

It is impossible that Concubine Liu Yi was not affected at all by Bingbing's words. It is true that men always like young women.

She loved everything about Lu Kuan, but her romantic nature was undeniable.

The broken sobs of the famous actress seemed to contain some of her own broken fragments. The cries of those years lingered in her ears and could not go away for a long time.

Jing Tian naturally wouldn't go with her to see Bingbing in the evening. She also had business arranged by the star-studded Lu Zheng, so Xiao Liu had to sleep alone today.

The time difference between New York and Beijing is exactly 12 hours. When Liu Yifei returned to the hotel, she looked at her watch. It was o'clock in the evening, which was exactly o'clock in the morning in Beijing. According to her habit, she should be in her office in the Olympic Building.

The girlfriend, feeling inexplicably empty inside, called him.

Beep, beep, beep…

"Sorry, the number you dialed is powered off..."

Huh?
Generally speaking, it is impossible for him to turn off his phone, especially after returning to China and starting to work on the Olympics.

We hold meetings every day during the day to discuss plans, quotes, and bargain, and at night we edit films and work on post-production.

In particular, there are procurements of materials and technologies for the Olympics from all over the world. Due to the time difference, sometimes I have to answer calls in the middle of the night to handle international business.

At this time, if Xiao Liu was in class with his computer, he would secretly video chat with him.

No talking or typing, just take a look at him when you have free time.

After calling several times but the phone was turned off, Liu Yifei called A Fei's number again and received the same response.

Liu Yifei was in a depressed mood. Apart from a business phone call in the morning, she hadn't been able to spend any time with him the whole day, and she felt a little empty inside.

Since romance is not possible, Mulan decides to join the battle.

After thinking about it, she called Yang Mi again.

"Sissi? Aren't you resting yet? It must be late in New York."

Little Liu asked curiously, "How did you know I was in New York?"

"Oh no! The photos of you and Fan Bingbing are everywhere."

Although Da Mimi said it in a joking manner, she was still feeling a little jealous in her heart.

No matter how hard I tried in marketing and promotion, it was not as good as someone else's chance encounter. It became a hit directly because of the grudges and love-hate relationship that was like a story in a novel.

The first hit in the domestic entertainment industry in September.

When Concubine Liu Yi heard Bingbing's name, she got straight to the point: "Mimi, when will Huayi go public?"

"It should be soon. I heard Mr. Wang mention it after the last tutoring session. It should be the end of next year or the beginning of the year after."

"Xixi, why are you so interested in Huayi's stock? And you even asked me to hold it for you."

Xiao Liu smiled and said, "Invest. I'm studying business now. If I make a profit, I'll give you a dividend. If I lose money, I'll pay for it myself!"

Yang Mi had just walked out of the company gate and got into her boyfriend's rich car: "It's great to have a wealthy girlfriend. I can even go to your hot pot for free, haha."

"By the way, Fan Bingbing has been in your company recently. How is he doing?"

"Nothing much has happened. Everything is normal. I just heard that they've accepted a new script from Feng Xiaogang. The company is very serious about it. Even CEO Ma came over for a meeting."

To be honest, Da Mimi secretly thought that these two were really interesting and that the palace fight had come to her head.

Fan Bingbing asked her to report on the actual situation of Liu Yifei dating Boss Lu in Italy. Liu Yifei asked her about Fan Bingbing's progress in Huayi from time to time.

You don't take yourself seriously, right?

My Big Mimi is not a threat at all, right?
"Hmm?" Xiao Liu frowned, thinking of what Lu Kuan had told her about the interaction between entertainment companies, Weibo-like websites and e-commerce in the context of the Internet.

But it seemed too deliberate to inquire about it so blatantly.

Concubine Liu Yi thought for a few seconds and said, "Mimi, I want to tell you something. Don't tell anyone else for now. Only you and Changchang know about it."

"Well, you are talking about it." Da Mimi's eyes lit up. Her treatment was not low!

"I'm going back to China at the end of the year, and I might..." Liu Yifei pondered, "I might go to the outside world, and even work in a company."

"What?" Yang Mi was shocked!
She slapped away her boyfriend's dirty hand that was placed on her thigh while he was shifting gears, and glared at him with a look of anger and shame.

The coal boss's son is just a bad boy. He likes to touch his legs and play with his feet.

Virtue~~~
She had no time to deal with Jin Youyu's resentful looks; her attention had been completely drawn to Concubine Liu Yi: "Xixi, what do you mean by appointment? You're going to be a wealthy wife so soon!"

"No, they're setting up a new department. I can't tell you what it is for now."

"The nature of this department is special, and we need to find someone who is not from the company to coordinate some matters. Lu Kuan will be handed over to me for the time being."

Xiao Liu knew the nature of the little fox on the other end of the line, so he calmly offered the bait: "With this position, I guess I'll have more contact with blogs and Weibo in the future."

"Then I'll try to find some benefits for you little sisters, okay?"

Da Mimi sighed in her heart, turned her head to look at Young Master Heijin, and suddenly felt that he was bad in every way.

How can a coal seller compare to one who sells art?
How can a person who runs a mining factory compare with one who runs a multinational company?
So much money, so much money. Except for your girlfriend who is slightly better than Lu Kuan's, you are really not as good as him in any other aspect!

Big Mimi is very confident.

"Xixi, it's great to have you!" Da Mimi's performance remained stable, but she knew what she meant, so she lowered her voice slightly:

"Hmm... I heard, just heard, that Huayi, Alispace, and Ali might be collaborating on a new project, perhaps modeled after the marketing model of Struggle, to empower Mr. Ma's e-commerce business."

"Sister Bingbing should be playing a very important role, but I don't know any more details."

Yang Mi was very cunning and said to keep three out of seven.

In fact, she had read the script a long time ago and played the role of MiuMiu, the secretary of Fan Wei played by Gong Xinliang in later generations.

She has a beautiful appearance but a simple mind, and presents herself in a sexy image throughout the whole process. She only exists as a symbolic role for the male gaze, satirizing the phenomenon of women being objectified in the workplace.

This setting of a 21-year-old sexy vase is very suitable for Da Mimi who has big breasts.

After all, Liu Yifei only talked about how she would have a new identity that would shock everyone by the end of the year, but she hasn't benefited from it at all?
It’s better to keep some cards in reserve for exchange.

The two chatted for a few more sentences, and after the usual greetings between best friends, they hung up the phone.

"Is it Concubine Liu Yi?"

"Ah."

Many Jin flattered his girlfriend, but it was also so he could pat her hips later. "Mi Mi, you have really strong social skills! Wenjie and Huayi are such competitors, yet you still make friends with both sides."

Da Mimi rolled her eyes at him coquettishly: "Duojin, you have to stand up too! How is uncle's mine now?"

Young Master Heijin frowned. He was not a second-generation rich man. He had been taking care of the family business for a while under the guidance of his father.

"There's been rumors lately that there might be a major reorganization, and my Da is also having a headache."

In Shanxi Province, father is respectfully called "Da", which means "father of the family" in transliteration.

Yang Mi nodded blankly. With her current experience, she naturally didn't understand the twists and turns of the black gold industry.

As mentioned earlier, the passing bosses are preparing for the influx of hot money from coal funds into the domestic entertainment industry, and are making preparations and making efforts in terms of the system, corporate culture, and thickness of the industry.

When did "coal bosses invade the entertainment industry" in the traditional sense?
After my country joined the WTO in 2001, the domestic industrialization process accelerated and the demand for coal surged.

In 2002, the state abolished the guiding price of power coal, and the marketization of coal prices gave rise to the "Golden Decade of Coal", and coal bosses in Shanxi, Shaanxi and other places quickly accumulated huge wealth.

During this process, a small number of coal bosses began to get involved in the cultural industry in order to improve their social status.

For example, as early as 1993, Uncle Benshan provided financial support to the arts through the coal business, but at that time, large-scale investment had not yet been formed across the entire industry.

But with the 2008 financial crisis, the global economy declined and coal demand plummeted.

Coupled with overcapacity and frequent mining accidents, Shanxi Province took the lead in starting a major restructuring of coal companies.

During this process, many coal bosses sold their mines, became behind-the-scenes shareholders themselves, or even simply withdrew.

Standing at this historical turning point, coal bosses, holding huge transfer fees and compensation, don't know where to go.

As a result, liquor, real estate, and automobiles became targets of capital outpouring, and naturally the film and television industry as well.

In 2009, Section Chief Jia's office in Beijing was often crowded with people. Coal bosses and fellow villagers shouted in their local accents: "Section Chief Jia, what are we going to do? We have too much money and can't spend it all. Do you have any movies to make?"

"What? The budget is only 5000 million? Let's spend million first!"

Later, coal bosses holding cash could be seen behind films such as Ning Hao's "The Golden Robbery" and Pang Ho-cheung's "Love in a Puff".

The film and television industry has a low threshold, a short payback period, and comes with social attributes, such as convenient access to popular female celebrities, making it the first choice for coal bosses to transform.

In 2010, the number of film filings surged, box office revenue doubled year-on-year, and coal bosses frequently brought in capital and designated leading actresses, all of which proved the fierce influx of hot money during this period.

I have to say that Da Mimi is still a top-notch expert in the domestic entertainment industry. Even if she doesn't know the direction of this history, she can still accurately capture this black gold young master.

I also care about my boyfriend's family business from time to time.

Many Jin people look average and have average academic achievements. They are normal second-generation young masters who have not suffered too much since childhood and have not done too much evil.

His temper is not bad, he is a little introverted, but he is not a heartless person.

He just looks silly every day when he is with his girlfriend Da Mimi, whom he finally got.

He spent two years in the directing department of the Beijing Film Academy. At the beginning, his father wanted to get rid of the family's traditional occupational labels of business and coal mining and wanted to have some cultural people to fill the family.

However, since meeting Yang Mi, Xiao Xu really believes that there is potential for further development in his career as a director.

"Mi Mi, you have such a good relationship with that fairy sister, can you find a chance to introduce her to her boyfriend?"

"Is the road wide?"

"Yes!"

Da Mimi giggled and said, "Hey, you're quite ambitious. That's what a man should be like. He should interact and learn from people who are better than him!"

Yang Mi knew that her boyfriend had a bad temper, so she didn't pay much attention to what he said.

However, seeing that Duo Xinjin, who was driving, had an obviously gloomy expression on his face, he decided to go back and make up for it.

She tilted her head slightly, quietly pulled her boyfriend's arm and rubbed it in her arms, giving the junior directing student some surprise:
"I'm sorry! That's not what I meant."

"Director Lu is four or five years older than you. I believe that when you reach his age, you will also have achieved something of your own!"

The nine-tailed fox unknowingly began to smuggle in his own thoughts: "But I think Uncle Xu still needs more help. The domestic film and entertainment industries are developing in full swing right now."

"Just like Director Lu said, the mainland box office will be in the tens or even hundreds of billions in the future. Who wouldn't believe what he said now?"

Da Mimi's clapping sound became more and more seductive. She took her boyfriend's right hand and placed it on her delicate thigh: "If the family business is really not doing well, I will fully support you to become a director! Or find some good projects in our industry. The returns are not low!"

Xiao Xu's expression eased a little. He knew his girlfriend's personality and didn't mind her ambition.

He has seen many people like this since he was a child, and there is nothing wrong with working hard to move forward.

"I know, that's why I wanted you to ask Liu Yifei to introduce me to Mr. Lu." Xuanyu Jin parked his car at the Haidilao Wangjing restaurant. Instead of pushing the door and leaving immediately, he took out a cigarette from his pocket.

Yang Mi listened attentively to her boyfriend's plan.

"Look, Mimi, Mr. Lu is also the dean of the Pan Asia Film Academy. I still have a year left to graduate. If I can get into the academy, do you know what a huge boost it will be!"

Young Master Heijin's eyes sparkled with longing. "Some time ago, Director Tian from the department invited Guo Fan and Lu Yang, the students who were admitted last year, to come teach us and share their experiences on Hollywood sets."

"Everyone was stunned! So this is what Director Lu meant by the industrialization of film. If this were done behind closed doors in China, how long would it take for such industry innovation to happen?"

Xuanyu Jin exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "I've made up my mind. I'll give this career as a director a try. If it doesn't work out, I'll go back and inherit the family business."

Yang Mi didn't attack her boyfriend directly this time, but she didn't think Xuanjin had the talent for it at all.

Especially when compared with Boss Lu, whom she had always fantasized about.

That’s what an artist is!

If you have a lot of money, you should just inherit the family fortune, invest in a few movies, and get yourself into the crew.

If everything goes well, I will marry you and live the rest of my life as a carefree rich lady.

Of course, when I think of my "best friend" Liu Yifei's wonderful life, and the romantic and heartwarming confession she received at Facello in Sicily...

Alas, the disparity in life is even greater than the difference between the size of my breasts and that of Concubine Liu Yi!
People are more mad than people.

Yang Mi's evil thoughts were constantly turning around, and Xu Jin naturally couldn't notice it. He was still stating to himself the reasons why he wanted to establish contact with Boss Lu.

"Look, besides directing, we can actually collaborate on other things."

"Lu Dao's companies, such as Focus Media and Mall, are currently listed or about to be listed. Internet companies such as Wenjie Video are still burning a lot of money."

"Add to that the rumors circulating in the industry right now: the industry is putting all its efforts into building cinemas and expanding its cinema chains."

"He has everything, but he might be short of money. What if he really sells all the mines and all he has left is money?"

"I think this business can be done!"

The two got out of the car, and Xuanyujin saw the Haidilao sign and felt emotional: "Take Haidilao for example, who knew its name a few years ago?"

"How did your best friend Liu Yifei invest and get a 30% stake when it was completely worthless?"

"An underage female star could easily tell by the heel that this was an investment opportunity that Director Lu had told her about."

The second generation has a very good vision, but Haidilao’s development trend in recent years is indeed somewhat invincible.

By the end of 2007, this brand, which was awarded the title of "China's Famous Hot Pot" by the China Cuisine Association, had opened 40 stores in 144 cities across the country.

The output of the service model has attracted attention and recognition from the industry. Last year, Vice Chairman Gou Yiqun was even invited to Lenovo Group to share his experience of "service culture throughout customer service."

In the past few years of capital increase and share expansion, Liu Yifei has always invested unconditionally.

There is just one thing: she followed Boss Lu's advice and would never endorse any food company.

Even if this is its own business, it is just an investor and will prevent Haidilao from using itself for advertising.

It can be considered as a habit. After all, when it comes to food endorsements, you never know when you might stumble.

After hearing what her boyfriend said, Yang Mi secretly sighed that people's circumstances are indeed unspeakable.

She had carefully studied the company's big sister Bingbing and her best friend Liu Yifei, the two most shining female stars in the domestic entertainment industry in recent years.

It was unexpectedly discovered that they rarely took detours or wrong roads.

Fan Bingbing is fine, he did have some difficulties in the first few years after his debut, but Liu Yifei has made no mistakes at all.

Isn’t this enough to illustrate the point?
The little nine-tailed fox thought about it and realized that even if his jealousy and envy grew stronger, he could not see any possibility of approaching and capturing Boss Lu in a short period of time.

She glanced at her boyfriend who was sketching out his order and thought, why not...

"I'll call Xixi in a minute and ask her to tell Director Lu. Or maybe we can arrange a meal together when she returns home. Is that okay?"

"Great! That's great!" Xiao Xu was very excited. He finally had the opportunity to meet this spiritual mentor with whom he had known each other for a long time.

Mimi pursed her lips, she was also very excited.

In this way, wouldn’t I have the opportunity to get in touch with Lukuan?

There is no cat in the world that doesn't steal fish. The legend of washing machines is well known to everyone. It is said that the richer people are, the more perverted they play.

maybe...

Maybe being labeled as “someone else’s girlfriend” or even “married woman” will be a plus in the future?

Many Jin had no idea that so many erotic thoughts were running through his girlfriend's mind at that moment. Watching her scarlet lipstick smudge dangerously, her tongue flickering as she spoke, he suddenly longed to taste that deadly sweetness.

"Mimi, don't go home tonight, okay?"

"Virtue!"
-
After taking a bath, Liu Yifei lay on her back on the white quilt in the hotel, her toes curled up unconsciously, as if trying to catch some dissipating warmth.

The steam rising from the bathroom had not yet dissipated, and water droplets slid down the collarbone into the quilt, making tiny sighs between the friction between the skin and the fabric.

The hum of the air conditioner suddenly became louder, waking her up from her daze.

Xiao Liu glanced at his phone. It was almost twelve o'clock. Why hadn't that bastard called him back yet?

The girlfriend felt something was wrong and called several more times, but still no one responded.

She wanted to call Dong Shuangqiang and Chen Zhixi directly to find out the news, but she was afraid that she would repeat the same mistake and cause them to be banished to the cold palace.

Xiao Liu sighed deeply and stared at the bizarre ceiling, feeling very annoyed.

She tossed and turned in bed, and took out her iPhone to look through the photos of their engagement trip from beginning to end.

Liu Yifei herself did not realize that she seemed to be seeking psychological comfort and emotional anchor in this way.

It has to be said that Fan Bingbing's words also put some pressure on her.

In July in Rome, the heat carried the sigh of the Eternal City. He pinched the back of his hand before the mouth of truth, revealing a hideous appearance.

The wind on the Spanish Steps blew through her hair. She hid her thoughts in the shimmering water of the Trevi Fountain, praying that her vocal cords would wake up soon.

A Renaissance rendezvous at the Lemon Villa in Florence, where he pretended to be lame and dumb in the Piazza della Signoria, and when he was discovered, he was dragged and ran away.

Then sit in the sunset and eat a plate of ham and honeydew melon.

The gilded time of Milan’s Seven Stars Galleries, the ecstasy of the cathedral’s dome, the whisper of Catania’s blue flag…

First kiss, confession, first night.

After revisiting the journey of falling in love, the lovestruck Xiao Liu was moved to tears. He only put down the first-generation iPhone in disappointment when he saw it screaming because the battery was too low.

The little girl sniffed and picked up her phone again.

Still no movement.

I looked through the phone and text message records from last month, and the three-hour phone call on my birthday was particularly eye-catching.

You bastard! Is it true that you don’t cherish what you have?

It’s understandable that he was busy with the Olympics and couldn’t fly over to celebrate my birthday, but he even spent several hours with me on the phone and through video chat, watching me blow out candles and eat cake in front of the screen.

But why is there no response today?

"Ding!" The sound of a card swiping was heard. It should be Jing Tian returning from a business trip.

The assistant and bodyguard walked her to the door and left. Jing Tian tiptoed in and looked at the faint light coming from the head of the bed.

"Sister Xixi, you haven't slept yet?"

Concubine Liu Yi was in a bad mood: "I went to bed early but you still woke me up. You insisted on getting a room."

"Hehe!" Jing Tian sat down on the edge of the bed, her body adorned with sequins of various colors, looking at her pretty face reflected by the phone screen.

"How was your chat with Fan Bingbing tonight?"

"Snapped!"

"oops!"

"Why did you spank me?"

You are bringing up something that is not related to the topic. Why should I hit you?

Xiao Liu retracted his pale arms that were stretched out from under the quilt and said in a cold voice, "It's okay, just playing."

Jing Tian said angrily, "I should have taken a picture of you like this and showed it to your fans. What kind of fairy sister is this? You're just a female hooligan!"

But she couldn't resist her curiosity, so she dragged a sofa cushion over and sat on the floor at the head of the bed, resting her arms on Xiao Liu, her gossip burning in her heart.

"Just tell me! You can't sleep anyway!"

"Will you please consider this for the sake of my birthday present to you?"

It would have been fine if this hadn't been mentioned. Once it was mentioned, Xiao Liu became even more depressed, and he blew the two silly hairs on his forehead angrily.

The Ferrari Enzo I bought when I was 18 and the drone show when I was 19 are still vivid in my mind. How could I forget about what should have been the sweetest 20th birthday?
When being with Lu Kuan, Liu Yifei has actually been intentionally restraining her natural tendency to act like a little drama queen, knowing that he can't be like an ordinary boyfriend who revolves around her every day.

But she just felt unhappy, and didn't want to argue with him and delay his work, so she glanced coldly at Da Tiantian who was right next to her.

If you can't solve the problem, solve the person who raised the problem!

"You're curious about other people's love affairs, how about I teach you?"

Jing Tian was used to being teased by her, and suddenly she woke up: "No! No! I'm not curious at all. It's better for you two to live a good life!"

She hurriedly stood up, and Xuezi swayed slightly under her evening gown: "Sister Xixi, go to sleep! I'm going to take off my makeup and take a shower!"

Liu Yifei dragged her to the bed, her evil spirit taking over. With her far superior force, she suppressed Da Tiantian, recalling in her mind how the washing machine had cooked her...

Her fingertips wandered around Jingtian's waist, like a snake licking the ice cracks on a celadon bottle. Big Tiantian was pressed against the silk bed curtain, and her silk suspender dress slid down her fat shoulders.

Jing Tian was teased by her bestie so much that she felt like she was electrocuted all over. She even felt ashamed of the sound that came out of her throat.

Concubine Liu Yi, who "became a good doctor after a long illness", found the joy of washing machines from Da Tiantian, and whispered seductively in her ear:

"Tiantian, your skin is like satin soaked in morning dew."

"Don't you want to know how we fall in love? Why don't you take off your clothes..."

"Ah!" Da Tiantian pushed the fairy away with a blushing face. She could only feel her warm breath raging in her ears, making her feel itchy all over.

This girl is also at the age when flowers can be picked.

"You're done, Concubine Liu Yi! How did Lu Kuan make you like this?" Da Tiantian said with grief and indignation, "We're done! We're done! I'm ashamed to be associated with perverts like you!"

"Ahahaha!" Xiao Liu laughed breathlessly: "That's just the beginning, you childish idiot."

"I still have eighteen tricks left to use!"

Well, the washing machine had been used on her before, and now it was being used on the sweet little bottom by the beautiful top.

Concubine Liu Yi suddenly raised her eyebrows, with a hint of veiled innuendo: "Don't you want to know what Fan Bingbing told me?"

"She wants me to agree to let her and Lu Kuan maintain this kind of relationship. She doesn't need anything else."

"What!" Jing Tian was shocked!
"It was alright before, but now that you've confirmed your relationship, this is too..."

Although Da Tiantian was cute and silly, she was startled when she saw her cheap senior sister's cold expression in the moonlight, and she didn't continue talking.

"Fan Bingbing is such a big star after all! She has wealth, status, and looks. What is she...what is she after?"

At present, Jing Tian is still a little-known figure in the entertainment circle, and is full of infinite longing. She has heard Lu Zheng, the agency, mention Fan Bingbing's status in the domestic entertainment industry many times.

Why is she willing to do this?
But think about it, if that person is Boss Lu...

It seemed that now that she had a close friend to talk to, Xiao Liu's mood was not as depressed as when she first came back.

"Love is hard to explain. Maybe she has other motives. I don't know. Just listen to it and keep your mouth shut."

Jing Tian nodded: "I know, then you treat her now..."

"I don't hate her, and I certainly don't agree with her. I just think this feeling is weird and makes me feel depressed."

After Liu Yifei's excitement of teasing Da Tiantian wore off, she collapsed on the bed again and glanced at her phone which was still silent.

It's almost one in the morning.

Tianxian Gong said this to Jing Tian not to morally judge Bingbing, but naturally had other purposes.

What purpose? To prepare for a rainy day.

"Tiantian."

"Ok?"

"You're very nice, I like you very much. Actually, I don't have many friends."

After hearing this opening remark, Da Tiantian felt a little guilty and trembling. She seemed to vaguely sense the subtext of her cheap senior sister.

Perhaps influenced by Bingbing, Liu Yifei took the opportunity to bring the subtext to the table today, laying it out and breaking it down.

She sat up and held Jing Tian's hand, her fingertips stroking the strawberry hair tie on her wrist: "I can understand your affection and admiration for him, because I have been through the same thing."

"A young girl's love is pure and beautiful, but if you take it a step further and want more, the ending isn't always a fairy tale."

"I really want to cherish you as a friend."

Looking at Jing Tian who was pouting her lips, Concubine Liu Yi said all she wanted to say and didn't use more direct words to make her sad.

Da Tiantian looks silly, but the living environment she grew up in destined her to understand and understand this kind of thoughtful advice from the person involved.

That's putting it mildly.

"I know..."

In the quiet and gentle atmosphere of the conversation tonight, Jing Tian also confessed her feelings for the first time: "I just think everything about him is good, like a shining sun."

"Looking at him up close would be glaring."

"But once you've entered this door and walked along this road, who can resist noticing the sun's brilliance?"

Concubine Liu Yi looked at the girl in front of her, as if she saw her former self. Suddenly, she felt puzzled and asked, "He used to be so lustful and wanton, attracting bees and butterflies. Didn't that reduce your favor a bit?"

Jing Tian looked at Concubine Liu Yi unhappily. In the eyes of you, the queen, that is just attracting bees and butterflies.

But now it’s just a butterfly at best!
Mudd!

Da Tiantian was indignant and said angrily, "Then why didn't you deduct points? And you just came here obediently? Concubine Liu Yi, you are so shameless!"

Jimei, if you have good things, you know how to hide them, right?
Concubine Liu Yi raised her eyebrows, feeling a little guilty about having her dark past exposed. She angrily slapped Jing Tian on the butt again: "If you don't listen to the old man's advice, you will suffer the consequences!"

"I've sunk into a sea of ​​suffering myself, unable to extricate myself, so I'm advising you not to make the same mistake."

The girl changed the subject with a confident look: "Look at Fan Bingbing's attitude tonight. If you were like that, wouldn't she eat you up?"

Da Tiantian curled her lips, but had to admit that it was the truth.

If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. Being his girlfriend, just having to fend off the overwhelming number of moths is stressful enough.

Well, I am a butterfly, which makes me stronger than a moth.

As for a fierce flower like Fan Bingbing, he should be considered a bird of prey...

"Hmph, I won't tell you anymore. I know what's going on! I don't want you to worry about it!" Jing Tian avoided the question and lifted the hem of her dress to change clothes and take a shower.

Liu Yifei looked at the stubborn Da Tiantian speechlessly, and this time she was really exhausted and lay down on the bed.

Only those who have experience with the washing machine know what it means to be a girlfriend.

We have just put out the raging wildfire caused by Fan Bingbing, and we don’t know whether it will reignite.

He took the opportunity to extinguish Jingtian's slightly glowing little wick, so as not to let her repeat the mistakes of her predecessors. He hoped that Da Tiantian would listen to him.

Why are there so many flowers that want to be planted in the washing machine, which is a pile of cow dung?

Xiao Liu finally flipped through his phone which had no sound, then put it down beside the bed in a depressed mood, covered his head with the quilt and fell asleep.

The next day, Fifth Avenue, New York.

Fifth Avenue, built in 1824, gradually became the residential area and social center of New York's elite in the late 19th century. It is also the "golden coordinate" of the global luxury retail industry.

For female celebrities of such wealth as Jing Tian and Liu Yifei, this is the best place for shopping and leisure besides auctions.

The two women walked side by side on the marble walkway bathed in the morning light. Jing Tian glanced at Liu Yifei, who was concentrating on her mobile phone, flipping through it from time to time, and did not dare to speak loudly.

Otherwise, I would invite the evil woman's deliberate revenge, and I would be powerless to resist.

Suddenly her own phone vibrated and a message came in.

I don’t know what the message said, but Da Tiantian’s eyes widened, and then she curled her lips helplessly, feeling that the prosperity of Fifth Avenue in front of her was a bit boring.

Liu Yifei, who was deep in thought, didn't notice all this. She just glanced at the message her boyfriend replied to her in the morning from time to time with a depressed look on her face.

It was nothing more than excuses like meetings, overtime, and reporting to senior leaders, and then he would call her later.

The reason is legitimate, official duties are busy, the dedication is to the country, and the girlfriend can be sacrificed!

Broken washing machine!

Fortunately, Liu Yifei is not a troublemaker. She simply replied that she understood and did not put any more pressure on her. I hope that some artists who are sometimes insightful and sometimes stupid can understand it on their own.

"Sister Xixi, stop looking at your phone and go shopping for clothes. There should be a lot of new elements and styles from Fashion Week."

New York Fashion Week is slightly different from major European fashion weeks. Not only has it developed a see-now-buy-now service, but it also releases new styles of the season in advance. This can be considered an American characteristic.

Concubine Liu Yi wasn't too materialistic. She put away her phone and said leisurely, "I don't want to buy anything. I bought a bunch of clothes in Italy and haven't worn them many times. It would be a waste to buy more."

Da Tiantian took her arm and said, "If you don't want to buy it for yourself, you can buy it for Aunt Liu."

Xiao Liu was open-minded and immediately relaxed his brows: "Alright, let's go."

The Tiffany revolving door cuts the morning light into diamond-shaped spots, and the two women's nude high heels roll over the copper tiles with the words "1878";

In the fitting room on the fourth floor of Bergdorf Goodman, three mirrors reflect six wells.

She turned around, holding up the hem of her Dior silk skirt, with twenty beads pinned to her waistline. "Doesn't it look like the poor Holly in Breakfast at Tiffany's?"

Xiao Liu was pinning a Chanel camellia brooch back on the model: "No, it looks like Holly who just inherited the estate."

After wandering around until noon, the parasols of the Central Park cafe let in spots of light, and Jing Tian finally couldn't help but try:

"Sister Xixi, how about going to the auction this afternoon?"

"Auction? No way." Liu Yifei, who was lying on a rattan chair wearing sunglasses, refused decisively. She still hasn't received a call from her boyfriend. Damn washing machine!
Da Tiantian coaxed him gently: "Sotheby's auction at its York Avenue headquarters is only two kilometers away from here. Why don't you just stroll over and take a look?"

Fifth Avenue is the main north-south artery that runs through Midtown Manhattan and the Upper East Side. York Avenue is located in the Upper East Side near the East River and is also the headquarters of Sotheby's.

Auctions of various sizes are often held here by appointment, covering a wide range of items of varying sizes and values.

"Go ahead! Just keep me company and see if there's anything good to take pictures of for fun."

The top white, rich and beautiful girls are always so arrogant that they treat visiting Sotheby's like visiting a vegetable market.

"I don't have money, so I won't go!" Concubine Liu Yi asked doubtfully, "Besides, don't auctions like this require advance reservations? You can just walk in whenever you want?"

Xiao Liu heard Lu Kuan mention Jing Tian's background, which seemed a bit confusing, but it was just a guess.

She wasn't planning on climbing anyone's ladder, so naturally she had no interest in digging into the details.

Da Tiantian thought that someone had already arranged everything, and her job was just to pester and trick you into coming over.

Sour and smelly, the sour smell of love lingers at the tip of my sweet nose.

She made up an excuse and tugged at Liu Yifei's arm to act coquettishly. The latter looked at her helplessly: "I'll stay with you for one more day. I'll go back to Chicago tomorrow."

Both women wanted to keep in shape, so they simply had some salad and strolled towards York Avenue, stopping from time to time to take photos.

Xiao Liu was in a positive mood, temporarily putting aside her boyfriend's lack of emotional value, and kindly advised Jing Tian: "Tiantian, you have to cheer up and prepare for the role. This drama is quite good."

Da Tiantian laughed and said, "Okay? But the plot is so cheesy!"

"What's wrong with being cliché? Jin Yong's dramas have been remade countless times. 'Let's Watch Meteor Shower Together' is also a remake of a classic idol drama. If you act well, you'll be very popular."

"Okay, I see." Jing Tian knew she was doing this for her own good: "Sister Xixi, if you have something nice later, how about you give it to me and I give it to you?"

"Stop showing off your affection with Teacher Lu in front of the whole world. Show off your affection with me too."

Due to her family background and life experience, it was difficult for her to meet any close friends, but she got along well with Xiao Liu while practicing basic skills with him on the crew of "The Sky of History".

It’s hard to say whether they get along well or not. It’s because Liu Yifei has developed his tendency to be the sweet one and the submissive one. Now he is very clingy and wants to find her as soon as he comes to the United States.

The celestial being habitually teased her: "You won't even let me touch you, who would show off to you?"

"Tsk!" Da Tiantian suddenly felt bored, and the two of them chatted and laughed until they arrived in front of Sotheby's headquarters.

"Miss, please call me? Please don't tell me we can't get in after we get here."

"Sissi!"

Concubine Liu Yi suddenly heard someone calling her, and when she turned around, it was Lin Ying.

Why is she here?
