Chapter 23.
In the years since Tangli debuted, Tian Rongrong has always been reassured. With superb acting skills and outstanding appearance, it is not unreasonable for Tangli to become famous all of a sudden. Every time Tian Rongrong hears other agents crying about the disobedience of their artists, not to mention how proud she is.
But what happened today made Tian Rongrong realize that Tangli's rebellious period was coming. Although it was several years late, it was enough to give Tian Rongrong a headache.
Tian Rongrong walked around the sofa, while Tang Li and Fu Mingyue were like two well-behaved students. They said nothing and just looked at Tian Rongrong intently.
"...."
She was very angry and wanted to tell Tang Li to give up. She absolutely did not agree to sign Fu Mingyue, an invisible bomb. They were living a smooth life, so why did they have to find trouble for themselves?
So the selfless Tian Rongrong looked up and found that she was being targeted by two beauties. It has to be said that beautiful face is the best weapon. Even Tian Rongrong, a woman who is used to beauties in the entertainment industry, could not resist the offensive of the two of them.
Perhaps even Tian Rongrong didn't know that her attitude had softened. She pursed her lips, pinched her waist with one hand, and snorted: "Don't think that the beauty trap works, I won't be fooled by you!"
Are you kidding me? I have been in the industry for so many years, but I haven't seen any routines or tricks before. It's just a beauty trap, and I can't fault it at all.
As she spoke, she couldn't help but glare at Tang Li, "I understand that you had a hard time filming, so I gave you a month's leave. But when it came time to go back to work, you gave me a big surprise. Fortunately, I don't have any heart disease, otherwise I would be scared to death by you sooner or later."
Tian Rongrong didn't take Fu Mingyue seriously. In her opinion, there were only two types of people, those who could bring benefits to her and those who were useless. Fu Mingyue happened to be in the second category, so she was very rude and did not save Fu Mingyue's face at all.
She has a bad feeling of Fu Mingyue, mainly because she suspects Fu Mingyue has bad intentions. Who knows if she has any malicious intentions in approaching Tangli. Tian Rongrong doesn't want anything to go wrong with her money tree.
Tangli frowned slightly, and noticed from the corner of her eye that Fu Mingyue's expression was different, so she coughed and interrupted Tian Rongrong's words. She leaned back and put one hand on the back of the sofa. That's where Fu Mingyue was sitting. Her behavior invisibly put Fu Mingyue within the scope of her protection, which made Tian Rongrong's face look a little ugly. She also realized that Tang Li seemed to have a desire to protect Fu Mingyue. Then thinking about what she just said, Tian Rongrong opened her mouth and didn't know how to smooth things over.
Tang Li chuckled lightly. Her naked face lost some of the glamor she displayed in front of the public, and instead became more elegant and refined. Her upturned eyes had no makeup, and she was charming and elegant as she moved around. This look of her reminded Tian Rongrong of the first time she met her.
Tian Rongrong's position in the company was a bit awkward back then, neither above nor below, caught in the middle.
In this position, the advantages are none of hers, and all the disadvantages are hers. So Tian Rongrong's signing of Tangli was considered a desperate move, and she spent all the resources she could get on her. Fortunately, Tangli did not disappoint Tian Rongrong.
She recalled the past events and felt very emotional. Considering the friendship we had had for so many years, she sighed and said sincerely: "Xiaoli, what on earth are you thinking?"
As one of the people involved in the topic, Fu Mingyue lowered her face slightly. When she heard Tang Li's words about signing her, she suddenly seemed to have lost her voice and could not speak a word.
In the past half month, she has lived a life she never imagined.
He stayed at Tangli's house and became her personal chef. She lived very happily every day. She could see Tangli when she opened her eyes and hear her saying good night at night.
In this cold winter, she felt like she has a home and she is no longer so lonely.
Since meeting Tang Li, she has gained a lot of benefits from her, but just because she is so good and precious, she should not waste this hard-earned friendship.
Her willingness to take her in may have something to do with her out-of-control complaining on that snowy night. She knew she had nowhere to go, and seemed to sense that she was in a difficult situation, so she hired her.
It would be nice if she could stay in Tangli's house and cook for her for the rest of her life.
But she has not forgotten the existence of Tang Haoran. He is despicable and shameless, and it is impossible to understand him with normal people's thinking. If he knows that Tang Li has helped him, will he deal with Tang Li?
So she wanted to find a chance to leave, but she couldn't bear to open her mouth.
Fu Mingyue noticed Tian Rongrong's eyes and could probably guess what she was thinking. Fu Mingyue knew that her chance to leave had come.
"Tangli, I..."
The moment she spoke, Tangli beside her also spoke tacitly. The words Tangli said made Fu Mingyue's rejection come to an abrupt end. She looked at Tangli absentmindedly, then suddenly covered her face and bent down.
"I have signed up for Fu Mingyue. Rongrong, when have I made the wrong decision in these years? Do you still remember the movie Legend of the Dragon? A new director with a small investment, and the screenwriter was still a college student. At that time, there was no one willing to spend their time on this group of people, but I am willing to, do you know why?"
Tang Li talked calmly and said confidently: "Because I believe in my perspective on people, Chuan Long has earned more than a billion box office, and Fu Mingyue will never be worse than this movie."
She put her hand on Fu Mingyue's back and said, "What about you? Do you have confidence in yourself?"
Fu Mingyue has never been a timid person, or in other words, she is a rather stubborn person. She believes in whatever she believes in, and she will never look back even if she hits the wall. Otherwise, she wouldn't have planned to become a star in the industry just because of her passion, and then joined the current entertainment company after working as a bit player and making connections. Doesn't she know that the company is plotting against her? Of course Fu Mingyue knew, but if she said she wouldn't do it, she just wouldn't do it. What about the sky-high breach of contract fee? Just save up the money and let her obey Tang Haoran, there is no way!
So is she really willing to be hidden by the company?
Not willing to give in.
Well, her answer did not disappoint Tangli.
Fu Mingyue's eyes were firm and bright, and Tang Li helped her again and again. She was not afraid of anyone implicating her, so what else was she afraid of?
She didn't want to leave, she wanted to stay by Tang Li's side.
If Tang Haoran really came to deal with Tang Li, then she would risk her life to protect Tang Li. Doesn't he want her to be his mistress? Then she can't be send to him, so her body can be sent to Tang Haoran.
Anyway, she is not afraid of death.
That period of time was even more uncomfortable than death. The double oppression of spirit and reality made death pale into insignificance compared with them.
Fu Mingyue's eyes were moist and glistening. She held Tangli's hand and said, "Tangli, I won't let you down."
Tangli smiled and corrected her inappropriate choice of words, "Don't think that I am a philanthropic person. I also have requirements for you. I am a very qualified businesswoman. I only signed you after seeing your potential."
So, don't be burdened.
Fu Mingyue automatically translated Tang Li's words into another meaning. It turned out that she was so strong in her heart. It seemed that her efforts were rewarded. Tang Li's words just now were the best proof. No?
Fu Mingyue hugged her sideways, pulled Tangli into his arms, and said firmly:
"Tangli, you are so kind to me."
Tang Li blinked blankly, never expecting that she, the vicious female supporting character in the plot, could actually get the good guy card from the heroine! Not bad, not bad, worthy of her investment~
She patted Fu Mingyue's back with a smile and said humbly: "Low-key, low-key."
Tian Rongrong: "..."
She pinched the center of her brows, wondering whether to laugh or cry. Why did she feel that she was a little redundant?
Okay, she accepted it. Who let Tangli's words persuade her? But think about it, Tang Li is such a shrewd person, and she will definitely not do any loss-making business. Although Fu Mingyue is a bit tricky, she might be a good piece of jade. Then she can count the money while lying at home. Fu Mingyue's ability to stand out in the entertainment industry shows that she is still capable. The entertainment company she signed with is just a small workshop. She is famous and has little to do with the company. It mainly relies on Fu Mingyue.
When Tian Rongrong thought about it, she felt more and more that Fu Mingyue was worth investing in. She was a utilitarian. After recognizing Fu Mingyue, she changed Fu Mingyue's view.
So here's the question, how did these two people, who seemed so incomparable at first glance, meet?
She thought about it and asked.
Tangli and Fu Mingyue were still hugging each other. After hearing Tian Rongrong's words, Tangli teased: "This is probably a fate sent by heaven."
Who would have thought that you could order a heroine just by ordering takeout?
Fate, sometimes even can't stop it.
When Tian Rongrong learned about this dramatic incident, she tilted her head with a question mark on her face and said, "Are you filming a TV series or writing a novel?"
"Really, I didn't lie to you. Didn't you meet Mingyue in the elevator before? She is still wearing the clothes of a delivery girl. Can this be fake?"
Tian Rongrong's imagination was wide open and she muttered: "What if you two love role-playing."
Tangli frowned in disgust, spitting on Tian Rongrong's mind full of rubbish, "Am I that kind of person? I don't like role-playing! Don't slander me."
[Tang...you seem to have missed the point. Aren't you curious why Tian Rongrong put you two together, and it's all about role-playing. ]
Tang Li disagreed and explained: "Maybe it's because I have a sense of CP and I match well with everyone."
She hurriedly added, "Except for Tang Haoran."
She doesn't want to get into any cliché with a pervert.
The talkative Fu Mingyue didn't understand the two of them's voice-overs. She thought Tian Rongrong doubted her work. She raised her chin very proudly and said, "I'm really a food delivery person. I haven't had any bad reviews for several days in a row!"
Seeing her little expression, Tang Li couldn't hold it back and burst into laughter.
She stroked Fu Mingyue's long hair and praised: "It's great. You are indeed one of my favorites. You are even so good at delivering food."
Tian Rongrong looked at the sky speechlessly. Could it be that Tangli was sick? She is completely different from before. Why don't you just deliver a takeaway? Is this something you can boast about?
Hey, come on, luckily I stopped my losses in time and didn't continue to belittle Fu Mingyue, otherwise Tangli would have been in a hurry with me. Fortunately, I have a good eye.
Why does I, the manager act like an eunuch who looks at people's looks?
I have a headache. Tangli now is no longer the obedient Tangli she once was.
It's all Fu Mingyue's fault for leading her into trouble!
It's definitely her fault, don't even think about getting rid of her.
"It's almost six o'clock, I have to go cook."
Fu Mingyue has a good sense of time. After understanding Tangli's living habits, she took these trivial matters to heart. The alarm clock on her phone rang just now, reminding Fu Mingyue that it was time to make meal.
She went back to her room and changed her clothes. When she came out again, she was seen wearing a pink sweater and loose wide-leg casual pants. Her long black hair was tied into a bun. Everything was full of the fireworks of life.
Fu Mingyue asked Tangli knowingly, "You and I decided what we would eat for dinner." During this period, she did not communicate with Tian Rongrong, and her eyes remained on Tang Li.
With her figure busy, Tangli threw away the sugar orange peel in her hand and went into the kitchen.
Under Tian Rongrong's stunned expression, Tangli rolled up her sleeves and started washing the vegetables. Tian Rongrong silently pressed her chin and closed her mouth, muttering: "What's going on with these two."
She looked at the sugar oranges on the table, and for some reason she felt a little embarrassed to swallow the orange slices in her mouth.
Although she has a good relationship with Tang Li, this is her first time meeting Fu Mingyue. They both are cooking, and she just stays in the living room eating fruit. Isn't this inappropriate?
So Tian Rongrong put aside her prejudice and was very considerate. After peeling the sugar oranges, she carried a plate and entered the kitchen. She raised her chin towards Tangli and said, "I'm not idle. I almost ruined the manicure I had just done, just to peel this plate of oranges."
"Look at your virtue." Tangli ate the small sugar orange in one bite and looked at Fu Mingyue who was chopping vegetables. Her hands were occupied, so Tangli thought of feeding it to her.
Tangli had no other thoughts and only wanted to feed Fu Mingyue sugar oranges.
But she underestimated Fu Mingyue's influence.
Fu Mingyue's profile is delicate, like a lady in a scroll, elegant and cool. She has a little habit. When she is concentrating on doing things, her lips will purse uncontrollably. Just looking at her face from the side will give people the illusion that she is smiling, quiet and beautiful.
At this time, her eyes flashed, and the figures in the painting seemed to be alive, incredibly agile. Fu Mingyue bent her eyes, looked at Tangli, looked into her eyes, opened her mouth and ate the orange segment placed on Tangli's fingertips.
The warm breath passed by in a flash, and her lips were as soft as flower petals, as if she could squeeze out the flower juice with just a gentle rub.
Tangli felt her fingertips were getting hot and started rubbing them unconsciously. Thinking of Fu Mingyue's actions just now, her eyes unconsciously observed her lips.
"What color did you applied today?"
She approached and asked.
Fu Mingyue shook her head and explained: "I didn't put on lipstick today. I usually wear a mask when delivering food. How could I have the thought to put on lipstick?"
Tang Li was extremely curious, could her lip color still look so good without lipstick?
"Correct."
"What's wrong?"
Fu Mingyue asked: "How did you know my mobile phone number?"
Tangli immediately understood what Fu Mingyue meant. She must be asking about the phone call that day when it snowed. Tangli laughed and said helplessly: "It's been almost half a month, and you just remembered to ask me now."
Speaking of the past half month, she originally agreed with Tian Rongrong that she would rest for only half a month, but after bringing Fu Mingyue home, Tangli rested for another half month in order to allow Fu Mingyue to eliminate the tension in her heart as soon as possible. Uncomfortable, she put off working.
Tian Rongrong came to the door today because she was worried that Tangli would continue to be lazy and that she would forget the party in a few days.
Tang Li gave Fu Mingyue some advice, "Didn't you call me when you delivered takeout to me?"
Fu Mingyue suddenly realized, "So that's it."
"Then what else?"
Fu Mingyue smiled sheepishly. She thought Tang Li had asked someone else to find out her mobile phone number.
"Ot's okay no problem."
Tangli put on a smile and continued to wash the dishes.
Tian Rongrong, who had been transparent for a while, made a "tsk, tsk" sound, which attracted Tang Li's dissatisfied gaze and said, "Why are you still here?"
Tian Rongrong felt aggrieved, "Where else could I be if I wasn't here? I've been standing here like a living person for a long time, but you ignored me and you are still asking about me."
"Don't you want to use my account to play games? I'll find a friend to guide you. Stop hanging around here."
Tian Rongrong sneered, "Is your friend's skills good?"
Tang Li said calmly: "A hundred times better than me."
Her eyes widened with surprise, "Is it true?"
"I lied to you I am a puppy."
After all, 001 is a high-tech invention. How difficult can it be to play a game?
"Take the number! I want to be ranked!"
"OK."
[Tangtang, you just sold me out like this? ]
Tangli coaxed 001 and said, "If she is happy, she won't make me uncomfortable. She is my friend after all. I refuted the advice she gave before, but now I have to smooth her over, right?"
[You humans are really troublesome, you have to think about so many things when you say something or do something. ]
"Who says it's not?"
[But Tangtang, why do you want Fu Mingyue to sign in your studio? ]
Tangli paused while washing the vegetables. Fu Mingyue and the company's breach of contract fees would take decades to save for her current job.
If she didn't help her, she would be weighed down by debts for the rest of her life. It's impossible to give money directly. If you didn'r earn it herself, she won't accept it, so I can only give money indirectly. Besides, the heroine Fu Mingyue has been taken home, so it shouldn't be too much to help her again, right?
She sorted out her words and said: "I will definitely turn against the heroine Fu Mingyue in the future. Everything I am doing now is paving the way for the future. Think about it, she signed the contract in my studio, so that's rounding up she just signed a contract to sell herself. If I ask her to go east, she will not dare to go west. With this contract, I can make things difficult for her as much as I want. Do you think I will never do this? "
[What a cow]
Tang Li accepted the compliment from 001 with a smile, but she said something against her will, she felt a little embarrassed when facing 001. She had no choice but to chat with Fu Mingyue, urging 001 to hurry up and play games with Tian Rongrong.
Under the bright light, Fu Mingyue was wearing a pink cartoon plaid apron, with warm tones everywhere, making Fu Mingyue extra gentle and no longer making her fall into cold tones.
Tangli suddenly felt like showing off. How could such a beautiful woman cook so well?
She silently took out her mobile phone, chose the composition angle, and took a photo of Fu Mingyue with concentration.
Of course, she didn't forget to take pictures of the prepared dishes. Seeing that she was interested in taking pictures, Fu Mingyue gave her advice on which filter to use to make the pictures most appetizing.
They are very close to each other, and the quiet home is no longer quiet when they have each other.
Fu Mingyue curled her lips and smiled, and her fingertips helped Tang Li tuck her hair behind her ears. She listened to Tang Li's words, sometimes giving her own suggestions, sometimes smiling silently.
The light in her window was always on, and her heartstrings moved slightly.
She is no longer alone. In this city, there is a light that shines for her.
This night, Tangli posted her latest daily photos on social platforms for the first time in a long time. This time there were no selfies, only the appearance of delicious food.
[I dare say, this is definitely not a takeaway! ]
[According to my understanding, Xiaoli is not very good at cooking. The decorations in the photo look like they are at home. Does that mean someone is cooking for Xiaoli at her home? ]
[Xiaoli can't do it, but her friends can. It must be a friend who did it. ]
[Something's wrong, do you see the corner of a mobile phone exposed in the photo? I checked this model, and neither her assistant Xiaoxiao nor her agent had this model of phone, let alone Xiaoli. So, who is the owner of this phone? ]
[Do you still remember the last time Xiaoli took photos? One of them captured a hat on the sofa. That hat didn't look like Xiaoli's style at first glance. I didn't doubt it at first, but with the phone this time and the hat that time, I suddenly had a guess...]
[Could it be that Xiaoli is keeping a spoiled child? ]
After Tangli uploaded the photo, she went to drink water. It was just a time to drink water. Who knew that in such a short period of time, the comment area would undergo earth-shaking changes.
"Wow, they are so powerful. They can pick out even the smallest clue."
"What's wrong?" Tian Rongrong asked.
Tangli waved her hand and did not explain.
She replied directly to the smart fan in the comment area, and then quit the social software.
[There is no beauty hidden in the golden house, but a special chef is hiding there. The fair and plump Tangli will soon appear in front of you. ]
[By the way, her craftsmanship is super good, so I will send you a few photos to tantalize you. ]
Tian Rongrong looked at her suspiciously, "You are smiling so pervertedly, what did you do?"
Tangli looked innocent and hummed: "I want to become bad, I want to be rebellious."
Fu Mingyue silently gave her a piece of shrimp, "Okay."
"?"
Why did she come to see Tangli today?
