The chat group became lively.
Yang Shao constantly circled Pei Yan's name in his friend group, trying to get him to speak out.
Dongdong: @ Pei Pei brother, this is such a big holiday, can’t you be more merciful?
Pei Yan was a little dazzled by the messy names of the people in the group, so he simply noted them all down so that he would not know who they were when he saw the names.
Pei: Well, I know you want to celebrate Singles' Day, so I won't bother you today.
Yang Shao:......
Yang Shao: It is said that men become bad when they have money. I didn’t expect that men may also turn bad after falling in love.
Pei Yan ignored him, opened Shen Hong's chat box, and sent him a message.
Pei: Brother Hong, how is the progress of the thing I asked you to do?
Shen Hong: It’s almost winter, and the effect won’t be very good. How about you wait until next spring?
Pei: Brother, how can a man like you, who has a wife and a daughter, understand my pain?
Shen Hong:......
Shen Hong: If you were not my cousin, I would block you.
Pei: No, you can block me after you finish the matter for me.
Shen Hong: Get out!
Looking at this chat record, Pei Yan smiled. He took a small watering can, sprayed some water on the rose petals, reached out and touched the still fresh petals, and chuckled.
It felt good to be given flowers by my girlfriend on Double Eleven.
In order to achieve the best visual effect of the designed clothes, Hua Jin has been working intensively. After taking off her makeup and taking a shower at night, she climbed into bed and fell asleep. When she woke up the next morning, she saw Pei Yan Posted in Moments.
She clicked a like and left a red heart in the comment area. Several friends who had added her and then added Pei Yan saw this and came to make fun of her. Before she could say anything, these people were all teased back by Pei Yan.
Holding her mobile phone, she rolled on the bed with a smile. Remembering that she still had to arrange work with several colleagues in the studio, she sighed and climbed out of bed.
After packing up, she was stopped by Sister Qin as soon as she went out. Seeing that Sister Qin looked a little down, she was worried that something had happened to Sister Qin’s child: “Sister Qin, what’s wrong?”
"I see that you have been very busy recently. You go out very early and come back very late. You are still young, and you have to take things step by step at work." Sister Qin glanced at Hua Jin's face, which had lost a little weight. The landlord came over a few days ago and told us something that you may not know about because you are busy working."
"This house is going to be demolished soon, and the landlord wants us to move out before the end of the month." Sister Qin said, "There are still more than half a month left before the end of the month, so you should go find a house early."
Hua Jin remembered that her landlord had called her a few days ago. She was in a meeting with several other embroidery artists in Mark's studio, so she didn't answer the phone and only sent him a text message back. Could it be that the landlord called that day just for this matter?
The neighbors in this building have lived together for several years and have developed some feelings for each other. Now that they suddenly got the news that they need to move, Hua Jin was a little stunned.
"The city is so big, it will be difficult for everyone to meet again in the future." Sister Qin forced a smile, "But you should have moved long ago. Your work is developing so smoothly, and it is not convenient to live here."
"Then where are you and Xiaohai going to move?" Hua Jin asked worriedly, "Xiaohai is already in sixth grade, so I'm afraid it's not appropriate to change schools."
"It's so difficult to change schools now." Sister Qin laughed, "You don't have children, so you don't know how difficult it is to enroll your children in a good school. I found a house nearby, although the monthly rent is high. It’s a few hundred dollars more expensive, but it’s relatively close to the middle school Xiaohai will attend.”
"That's good." Hua Jin smiled vaguely. She looked at the dusty little shabby building and felt a bit reluctant to leave.
"We discussed it upstairs and downstairs, and we will set up a few banquet tables in the open space below in a few days, as a practice for each of us." Sister Qin looked at Hua Jin, "Are you coming?"
"Come." Hua Jin nodded, "Who is taking the lead in this matter? I will give him my share of the money."
"Old Mrs. Chen and Wang Zhu'er are downstairs." Speaking of Granny Chen, Sister Qin looked a little uncomfortable. She and Granny Chen lived in the same building. They had quarreled several times and neither one liked the other. . But the last time Xiaohai ran away from home, in order to help her find her child, Mrs. Chen traveled all the nearby ditches and rivers. Later, she became ill for several days because of overwork.
Sister Qin couldn't bear it, so she ran to take care of her for two days, back and forth. The two of them had never quarreled in the past few months.
"Then I'll go find Grandma Chen tonight..."
"Wait a minute, bring your boyfriend with you. Although we haven't seen much of the world, we can still help you see." Sister Qin smiled, "Love and marriage are not the same thing. It’s a small matter, so be cautious.”
"Okay." Hua Jin responded.
It is said that there is no such thing as a banquet in the world, but until this day, Hua Jin slowly came back to her senses. She has been living here and has not moved out. In addition to the cheaper rent, there is another point: When she was struggling to live alone, these neighbors with imperfect personalities made her life less lonely.
Whenever she was walking in a dark alley in the dead of night, she would feel at ease as long as she looked up and saw that there were lights on in this building. Sometimes when she was wronged by a customer and sulked secretly under the quilt, listening to Sister Qin next door nagging her children would make her feel that there was still a little bit of vitality in her life.
Although Mrs. Chen likes to be nosy and a bit gossipy, when she sees her working hard alone, she always gives her the prepared side dishes and tells her to eat less out in case she eats gutter oil. Poor health.
Although the two couples on the third floor like to take advantage sometimes, they will help her buy vegetables and fruits when she is busy, and they will bring her souvenirs when they return from their hometown during the Spring Festival.
The autumn wind blew a little cold on her face, and Hua Jin slowly realized that whether it was Sister Qin, Grandma Chen or other people living here, they all had families, and this was not their home.
She is the only one with no relatives who care about her all the time, and no home.
When she walked out of the alley, she saw a black car parked outside. The driver was standing beside the car, waiting for her. Seeing her come out, the driver smiled honestly at her: "Miss Hua, good morning."
"Good morning." Hua Jin smiled and nodded to him, then the rear window opened and a bottle of milk was handed out from the car: "Miss Hua, this is the milk you ordered with your boyfriend, please Sign for receipt."
Taking the milk bottle, the milk was still hot, and the warmth spread from her palms to the bottom of her heart. She got into the car and said to Pei Yan: "I didn't mean to attend a charity conference today, why did you come here suddenly? ”
"Due to the weather, the event will be delayed for an hour. I want to come and see you before going to the event site. Unpacking the cake box, Pei Yan fed the cake to Hua Jin's mouth, "Besides, it's just an announcement. Yes, I just need to show my face. ”
Pei Yan took a bite of the cake and swallowed it: "I don't quite understand the world of rich people."
"When you are not busy, I will take you with me." Pei Yan said, "If there are any celebrities you like, I will bring you an autograph."
"Stars?" Hua Jin is not very starstruck, but he likes to see good-looking stars, so he randomly mentioned a few names and asked, "Are all these stars going?"
"Yes." Pei Yan nodded, "I just saw you coming out of the alley with a bad look on your face. What happened?"
"Huh?" Hua Jin was stunned for a moment, then sighed: "The landlord said that the house I live in now is about to be demolished, and he wants all our tenants to move out before the end of the month."
Moving out?
Pei Yan raised the corners of his mouth, but when he saw that Hua Jin was in a low mood, he suppressed the raised corners of his mouth again: "You have been so busy recently, how can you have time to look for a house? Why don't you just buy it first? Move your things to my place and wait until you have some free time to look for them again?"
"Move to your place?" Hua Jin took a sip of hot milk and looked at him with suspicion, "I move to your place, can I move out?"
"Can I still put you under house arrest?" Pei Yan put the cake in Hua Jin's hand and hummed, "Take it and eat it yourself."
"Even if you wanted to, you wouldn't dare." Hua Jin put the cake back and said, "Stop making trouble and feed me."
"If you don't want to live with me, you can also move to my other house." Pei Yan lowered his eyelids to prevent Hua Jin from seeing his emotions, "I can't live with you anywhere else. Don’t worry.”
"It seems that you didn't sincerely invite me to stay at your home." Hua Jin looked at him with a half-smile, "I haven't even seriously refused, and you started to make a second suggestion."
Pei Yan raised his eyes and looked at her with bright eyes: "Then you will live with me?"
"Okay." Hua Jin looked at him with a smile, "There will be a farewell party in our rental building in a few days. You can attend it with me and then help me move my things."
"Farewell banquet?" Pei Yan asked, "Would you like me to arrange a chef and ingredients..."
"Don't just join in the fun. We just pool some money to cook and set up a few tables. The way you usually use it for gatherings is not suitable for us." Hua Jin buried his head and took a bite on the cake.
Hmm, very sweet.
Charity conferences in the entertainment industry, where male and female artists compete for beauty on the red carpet, are the focus of ordinary people's attention. As for the heads of film and television companies or investors, they all directly enter the venue, and no one cares about them. What does it look like.
There was a banquet inside the charity conference. Pei Yan was sitting at the investors' table. He was the youngest, but everyone at the table supported him politely.
Pei Yan didn't have much friendship with the investors at the same table. He wasn't even considered a member of this circle. He was just lucky and made a lot of money from the few movies he invested in, which led to some superstitions in the industry. People like to build relationships with them and invest with them.
Some well-established and established artists will come over to say hello and toast the investors, which is considered a kind of face in the industry.
Old artists also know that Mr. Pei doesn't like to deal with artists, so after toasting, they planned to leave on good terms. Unexpectedly, this time Mr. Pei was uncharacteristic and stopped several powerful actors who are well-known in the industry.
Lu Renyi was one of the people who was stopped. He was suddenly stopped by Mr. Pei. Lu Renyi was a little nervous. Could it be that his usual words and deeds offended this boss?
I heard that at last year's charity event, when a male artist went to toast, Mr. Pei didn't give him any respect and didn't even touch the cup. He later found out that the male artist didn't have a very good character. He just pretended to be very good on the surface and most people didn't know it.
The more I think about it, the more scared I feel. He seems to have never done anything bad like bullying men and dominating women, right?
"Sorry, my girlfriend likes the TV series played by Mr. Lu very much. I wonder if Mr. Lu can give me an autographed photo." Pei Yan smiled faintly at Lu Renyi, "If it is an autographed photo of the emperor you played, That would be better."
Hearing this, Lu Renyi almost thought there was something wrong with his ears. He looked at Mr. Pei and then at the agent not far away. The boss's girlfriend actually had a crush on him?
The manager wanted to hold Lu Renyi's head on the spot to make him agree, but with other people present, all he could do was smile.
"It's an honor for me to be appreciated by your girlfriend, Mr. Pei." Lu Renyi came back to his senses, "Tomorrow I will ask my assistant to send the autographed stills to your house."
"No, I'll just arrange for my assistant to come and get it."
"Mr. Pei is busy with things, how can such a small thing trouble your people." Lu Renyi was elated, not to mention just signing a few stills, even if he was asked to sign a hundred different stills overnight, he was willing.
The charity meeting has not ended yet, well-informed people have already received the news that Mr. Pei, a well-known investor, already has a girlfriend, and he personally asked the artist for his autograph for his girlfriend.
A dignified investor actually asked an artist for his autograph for his girlfriend. This must be true love.
"I don't know which goddess can seduce Mr. Pei." A female artist whispered, "But she doesn't seem to be someone in the circle, so I feel more balanced."
Zhao Ni sat next to her and said nothing. The two are artists in the same company, but because they have different development paths, they have a pretty good relationship. Since she made a stunning appearance on the red carpet wearing a handmade custom cheongsam half a year ago, she has received several good cooperation opportunities. In addition, the web series she participated in has been highly discussed, and she can barely be considered a popular artist.
"Sister Ni, the business of the Shu embroidery shop you introduced to me last time is really good. The embroidered skirts I customized will not be available for pick-up until next year." The female artist whispered to Zhao Ni, "I'm asking. I received news that the embroiderer in the store has recently cooperated with Mark, a well-known domestic fashion designer. If I can join her line and get fashion resources..."
"Relying on traditional handicraft practitioners to get fashion resources?" Zhao Ni said lightly, "It's dark, and I dream faster when I go home and sleep."
Female artist: "..."
Zhao Ni sighed. The Shu embroidery master was considered her noble person, and she really didn't want to involve her in the messy things in the circle.
However, if she can cooperate with Mark, she must be a capable person, and she will definitely develop better and better in the future.
People have joys and sorrows, and the moon waxes and wanes.
Three days after Hua Jin handed over the share money to Grandma Chen, all the tenants in the building woke up early. Hua Jin deliberately set aside this day to gather with her neighbors, wash and select vegetables, and prepare for the lunch breakup meal.
The old man living on the first floor took out the wine that he was reluctant to drink, and the couple on the third floor took out the bacon that they had hung up for a long time.
Hua Jin didn’t have any wine or meat, so he bought a bunch of fruits and snacks in advance and put them on the table.
The chicken soup simmering in the big casserole was bubbling and bubbling. Hua Jin and Sister Qin were sitting on small stools peeling garlic. Everyone was talking about interesting things about each other, and the atmosphere was very lively.
"Huahua, is your boyfriend coming today?" The old man who usually likes to drink a few sips said, "I heard from Mrs. Chen that you paid two cents?"
"So Huahua's boyfriend is coming today too?" After hearing this, the other neighbors started shouting, "I thought I had to wait until you had a wedding reception before we could stop sitting and eating together."
Hua Jinxiao: "He can't drink. When he comes down, don't make him drink."
"Young man, how can you do this without drinking? You've already protected me before anyone has arrived?" A middle-aged man living on the second floor said with a smile, "How can you do that?"
"It doesn't matter whether you are a man or not." Hua Jin smiled, "Anyway, no one of you is allowed to drink from him today, otherwise I will make trouble with you."
Everyone burst into laughter because they were angry at Hua Jin’s words. Instead, they praised them for their good relationship and asked them when they would have a wedding banquet.
Sister Qin was not angry when she saw Hua Jin being teased by her neighbors, and asked in a low voice: "You... recognize him?"
"Yes." Hua Jin nodded, "It's him for the rest of my life."
"No change?"
"No more changes."
"That's good." Sister Qin nodded with a smile, "But even if you get married in the future, you can't lose your craftsmanship. Everyone may be unreliable, but your cooking skills are reliable."
"I know, Sister Qin." Hua Jin smiled at Sister Qin, "Thank you."
"Thank you." Sister Qin looked away and looked towards the alley, "Here you come."
The young man in the sun is tall and elegant. Even standing at the entrance of the dilapidated alley, he seems to be in a different world from them.
