Lin Daiyu's Battle in the Entertainment Industry
Chapter 33
The kiss was as light as a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water. It was so light that Daiyu felt an itch between her brows.
She quickly let go.
She did not have time to feel it.
However, she was still shocked by this sudden intimacy.
She did not react for a long time.
Xiao Zexi … Xiao Zexi finally reacted. He looked at Daiyu's stunned expression.
He really loved her.
Unfortunately, he did not have much experience with intimacy. After kissing her, he felt his heart thumping.
His body was also unusually stiff.
He stammered, "You … you should rest!
I'll leave first. "Then,
He turned around stiffly.
He even touched the wall.
Xiao Zexi was speechless.
Daiyu came back to her senses.
When she saw this scene, she was instantly amused. The resentment from being molested by him dissipated a little. She softly said, "Serves you right." She walked past him and ignored him.
Xiao Zexi felt that he had embarrassed himself in front of Daiyu.
However, he saw that her affectionate eyes were full of smiles.
He also heaved a long sigh of relief in his heart.
If he could get her laughter …
So what if he made a fool of himself?
Moreover, he was afraid that Daiyu would hit him!
Wasn't that what happened in television dramas?!
The male lead forcefully kissed the female lead.
He would get a slap in the face.
Fortunately, Daiyu did not hit him.
Did this mean that she was happy in her heart?
Xiao Zexi thought happily.
If Daiyu knew …
She would definitely give him a slap.
It was just that she had never been so intimate with a man.
In a place where Xiao Zexi could not see …
Her body was also very stiff.
However, when she saw that Xiao Zexi was in a daze, she suddenly felt funny and even forgot to be angry.
Forget it. He was just a pitiful person who could not get what he loved.
Daiyu felt that she was an iron tree that would never bloom. Wasn't it pitiful for Xiao Zexi to fall in love with her?
However, Daiyu wasn't in the mood to think about these things. The company had arranged a place for her to stay, but she had to prepare for the college entrance examination for almost half a year. She wouldn't be able to take on many activities, so she wanted to rent a house and move out.
Moreover, her grandmother's health was much better. She could bring her over to live with them. She had also earned some money on her own. Although it was not much, she was a newcomer after all. The remuneration she could receive was limited. After she received the money, she had to pay taxes and the commission from the previous two companies. She did not receive much, but this was already very good.
It was said that in the past, the pay of celebrities was especially high, which led to chaos in the industry. In the end, it was much better when the country stepped in to treat them.
So, the current entertainment industry wasn't as messy as people made it out to be.
Daiyu wanted to find a responsible agent to rent a house. Liu Feng had found her. The first thing he asked her was, "Do you want to move to the company's staff dormitory?"
"Ah?" After thinking about it, she still refused. After all, she had a family to feed. It would be very inconvenient to live in the dormitory.
In Daiyu's knowledge, dormitories were usually a few people in a room. It was narrow and crowded. She didn't want to live in a room like that. Moreover, there was still her grandmother.
Liu Feng saw her expression and asked, "Do you think that the dormitory is too small for you to live in?" The little girl's thoughts were simple and straightforward. For an old fox like him, he could tell at a glance.
Liu Feng laughed at her. "You're still too inexperienced!"
He brought Daiyu to his staff dormitory. Daiyu couldn't believe that the row of villas in front of her was the "staff dormitory" he mentioned.
She looked at the calm boss beside her in shock and said in disbelief, "This is the staff dormitory you mentioned?"
"Yes, what's the problem?"
There's a big problem!
With these rooms, your company's employees can't even live in two floors!
Then why did you say that you didn't have money for noodles?
Liu Feng felt very wronged. He didn't have money. He just invested all his money into his company!
Yes, his so-called company included this community. Because he didn't only set up an entertainment company, but also invested more money into real estate.
It wasn't exactly the staff dormitory. It was just that there were a few people from his company living in the building that Daiyu was in. That was why he said so.
"Do you want to live here?"
Liu Feng asked after showing Daiyu several types of houses.
"How about the price here?" Daiyu was very satisfied with the price. However, she definitely couldn't live here as an employee benefit for free!
Moreover, if the price was right, she wanted to buy a house. After all, if nothing unexpected happened, she would be living here with her grandmother in the future. She had to have her own home.
Liu Feng knew what she was thinking. "The price is not a problem. I'll give you a discount."
The so-called discount meant that Daiyu had almost spent all the money she had just earned and only paid the down payment.
Daiyu's mouth twitched. However, the house was indeed worth the money. Thinking about it, she went to the hospital to pick up her grandmother.
Daiyu felt vexed. Now that she was famous, she knew many people and had fans wherever she went. Although she was happy to be liked, this kind of life where she didn't dare to walk around freely was also very distressing.
For example, now that she was going to pick up her grandmother from the hospital, the young nurses and some young doctors, as well as many patients, were overly enthusiastic when they saw her. They asked for autographs and photos. When she picked up her grandmother from the hospital, she felt very tired. It was even more tiring than singing and dancing!
Sure enough, being too enthusiastic would make people unable to resist.
Her grandmother looked at her lovingly and touched her head. "You don't have to come in person. Tell me where the house is and I'll take a taxi. Look at how tired you are!"
"Grandma, I'm not tired."
Daiyu leaned her head on her grandmother's shoulder and looked at the scenery outside the car window. She said softly, "As long as you're by my side, I won't be tired."
Her grandmother sighed and patted her shoulder.
She thought that there was no banquet in the world that did not end. She could only accompany this poor child while she could still move.
When they arrived, the two took the elevator upstairs. The house Daiyu bought was on the twelfth floor. It was a large house with a total of more than 200 square meters.
Daiyu was never willing to compromise. She wouldn't complain if she didn't have the conditions. Of course, she would want to live a better life. She also wanted her grandmother to live a happy life. Her grandmother had suffered too much.
Her husband had passed away early, and she had raised her eldest daughter alone to pay for her education. One had to know that in her mother's era, there was no nine-year compulsory education, which meant that the cost of her education was all saved up by her grandmother bit by bit.
Just like that, she got married as soon as she left school. In less than three months, she got divorced. Then, she gave birth to a child and threw it to her mother. She didn't care about it for more than ten years.
Sometimes, Daiyu would wonder whether or not the woman she wanted to call "mother" had a heart at all!
How could she let her elderly mother live alone with a young child?
No, survival!
Now that Daiyu had the ability, of course, she had to give her grandmother the best life she could.
Daiyu had already decorated the master bedroom for her grandmother. The interior was warm and comfortable, very suitable for the elderly.
Her grandmother opened the door and looked at such a big house. There were several bedrooms, a kitchen, a bathroom, a study, and so on. She kept saying that it was too wasteful.
"You still don't know how to live!
It's just the two of us. You can rent a smaller house. You can rent out the house you bought. After all, you have to earn everything in the future. Grandma can't give you anything. "This child didn't know the problem of burdens!
Daiyu ignored her nagging and pointed to various things in the room. In the end, she said seriously, "Grandma, please don't say that.
What you gave me is the most precious and priceless thing in the world. "
No one has ever loved me as selflessly as you. I grew up being loved.
The two of them had a big meal in the evening. It was a home-cooked meal specially prepared by her grandmother.
Daiyu thought that she had to find a housekeeper. After all, her grandmother was old and she had to go to school and film. She couldn't stay at home for long. She couldn't let her grandmother do all the housework in such a big house.
Although her grandmother would definitely not agree to hire a housekeeper, she could act first and ask later!
Daiyu's eyes rolled around as she thought of an idea.
The next day, she found a Mrs. Xu in her forties. She looked fresh and neat, and her eyebrows were bright.
Her grandmother knew that she was angry at her for wasting money. But things had already come to this, so she could only sigh helplessly.
After settling down at home, Daiyu prepared to go to school.
Speaking of school, Daiyu was still a little nervous. After all, she hadn't been to school for more than half a semester. Moreover, she had never been to this new school.
She didn't know if the teachers were strict or if the classmates were easy to get along with.
Just as she was thinking, her phone rang. Daiyu picked it up and saw that it was Xiao Zexi. She thought for a while and picked it up.
Xiao Zexi's clear and strong voice came from the other end of the phone. "What are you doing?"
Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled gently. She said calmly, "Reading."
"Are you going to school?"
"Yes."
"Then … are you free this weekend?"
"No."
"…" Xiao Zexi thought that she was usually a smart person. Why was she so stupid at this time? He said, "I'm free this weekend. I'll come and look for you, okay?"
"Why are you looking for me?
What's the matter? "
Dai Yu knew what he was thinking, but she didn't point it out. She even played dumb with him. On the other side, black lines appeared on Xiao Zexi's forehead.
"I … I'll tutor you!"
Xiao Zexi said confidently.
"It's okay. I have no problems with my studies." Daiyu smiled.
"…" Xiao Zexi was depressed and didn't say anything for a long time. Just when Daiyu thought that the signal was bad and was about to hang up, Xiao Zexi's low and hoarse voice came from the other end.
"But I want to see you."
Daiyu stopped smiling. Her fingers moved unconsciously and she didn't know how to answer him.
It was a scary feeling.
She once liked someone and was worried about him. She didn't act like herself. But in the end, that relationship didn't end well.
Now, someone was telling her that he wanted to see her in a deep and affectionate voice. Maybe it was because Xiao Zexi's voice was too pleasant, or maybe it was because Daiyu was thinking about the past.
Anyway, no matter what the reason was, Daiyu said to the phone, "If you want to see me, then come and see me!"
She realized what she had said and immediately regretted it. She wanted to tell him that she was just talking nonsense and not to mind it, but Xiao Zexi had already hung up.
Daiyu was speechless. She could imagine Xiao Zexi rushing out of the house.
