Chapter 35:
The interview came to an end, and the examiners said goodbye to the Winter Solstice and left.
As soon as he stepped out of the classroom, he felt that everyone's eyes were focused on him. If the first thing that attracted the attention of the written test when he entered the examination room was a 30-watt light bulb, it would be at least 100 watts now.
He was a bit baffled, thinking that it was impossible for other people to know what he was arguing with Daochang Li in there, right?
When he saw Basang, the other party asked, "Why did you stay for so long and what did you say?"
The winter solstice asked strangely, "How long has it been?"
He was inside, asking and answering questions, unaware of the passage of time.
Basang said: "Of course, other people's fifteen minutes, you are almost forty minutes. Is it because your written test score is too high, the examiners take turns to praise you?"
Winter Solstice smiled bitterly: "You look down on me too much. I'm still almost tested one by one. I even argued with one of the examiners, and I almost got into a fight."
Basang's mouth is about to turn into an O shape: "You quarreled with the examiner?"
Gu Meiren was also surprised. It was hard for her to imagine that the Winter Solstice would be red-faced in a fight with others.
Winter Solstice: "All in all, the result may be very uncertain this time, and I am mentally prepared to take the test again next year."
Ba Sang patted his arm, not knowing what to say, but the winter solstice comforted them in turn: "Don't worry, the question is not difficult, just answer it well."
Soon it was Ba Sang's turn to go in. The Winter Solstice did not rush to leave. After Gu Mei and Ba Sang finished the exam together, they left with them.
Gu Meiren has relatives in Beijing and lives with relatives temporarily. In addition, she has nothing to do and often goes to a nearby university to audit courses. In fact, this girl is quiet and low-key. If she doesn't say it, no one will notice She is also a practitioner.
There was something wrong with Basang's house, so he planned to go back that afternoon, planning to come back after receiving the training notice.
The three of them met by chance and hit it off again. It was also a fate. They invited them to dinner at the Winter Solstice, and then they said goodbye to each other.
See off Ba and Gu and return to the upstairs dormitory on the winter solstice.
The scene of the interview appeared in front of him, and he suddenly felt that he was still too tender, and it was right to insist on his own ideas, but it also depended on the occasion. Although there was an old rounder later, but from the beginning, according to Li Rui's tendency, it was quite satisfactory and stable. Is it more certain to answer the question?
There is no regret medicine in the world. In fact, although many things are known to be the best outcome, if you do it all over again, you will still do it that way.
It's just that the winter solstice thinks that he should start thinking about finding a house. Although he has a lot of savings, he will not worry about food and accommodation for a while, but if he is eliminated in the interview, he will definitely be embarrassed to stay here and stay here. Maybe he can stay in the capital. Rent a house to live in first, take up the part-time sketches in my spare time, review it by the way, and prepare to make a comeback next year.
The winter solstice lay on the bed and thought.
Although we have prepared for the worst, depression is inevitable.
There was a knock on the door, and he slowly opened the door with the soft pillow in his arms, thinking that He Yu and Kan Chaosheng had both gone on a business trip. Who else would come to him, could it be Zhong Yuyi?
The door opened, and he was stunned by the unexpected visitor.
"Dragon, Dragon Bureau?"
Long Shen stood at the door: "What are you doing?"
I was caught off guard by the visit of the male god, and my mentality hadn't adjusted yet. The response of the winter solstice was a bit slow, and it took a while to react: "I went to dinner with Basang and the others, and just came back. Have you eaten yet?"
Long Shen didn't answer this question, he reached out and handed him a card: "Take it, go to the access card on the top floor, go up to practice later, and you don't need to find someone to accompany you."
Winter Solstice took it over, hesitantly said, "But I'm interviewing..."
Long Shen: "Even if you don't pass the exam, you won't practice?"
Winter Solstice didn't even think about it: "Of course not!"
Long Shen nodded to his answer without hesitation: "The card is temporary, if you don't pass the test, just return it to me."
The winter solstice was a little bit of a fluke in her heart. She felt that her written test scores were so high, and she followed He Yu several times. Maybe Long Shen would give him a back door. Now I can't help laughing when I hear the other person say that.
However, it is better to have a card than no card, and other candidates may not have this treatment.
"Thank you Dragon Bureau, I will go up every day, do you want to come in and sit?"
Long Shen said: "No, you can rest."
He turned around to leave, but the winter solstice messenger asked, "Long Ju, is Yulu still alive?"
Long Shen said, "You're still alive, do you want to come and see?"
The winter solstice really wanted to go with the past, even chatting was a big improvement, but seeing the faint look of tiredness between the other party's brows, he gave up his idea.
"No, you can rest first, and call me if you have anything."
Long Shen nodded and went back to the dormitory.
Long Shen didn't come back many times. The last time was three days ago. The bedroom was as deserted as ever. Long Shen didn't care, and was about to wash up and rest. When passing the living room, he suddenly stopped and turned a corner.
The succulent plant on the table was wilting, no longer as delicate as when it first arrived, and the fat leaves began to turn yellow, and some of them even fell, showing that its life was passing.
Long Shen wanted to water it, but remembered that the winter solstice said that this kind of plant likes dryness, and he couldn't help frowning slightly.
The omnipotent Deputy Director Long looked at the small potted plant in front of him as if he was looking at a human being, and was at a stalemate for a while.
After a long while, he turned on his phone and typed in "what should I do if Yulu is dying".
There are various answers, but the one that seems more reliable is: maybe the root is stuffy, change it to a deeper pot, and try again with dry soil.
After all, it is a life. Long Shen, who originally wanted to go to the bathroom, had to take the flower pot and go out, preparing to go to the flower shop for rescue.
Before leaving the house, there was only one thought in his mind.
So troublesome, don't accept any gifts next time.
The winter solstice didn't know that the small plant he gave had caused the other party to be so troubled. As soon as he turned on the computer to prepare, he received a call from Gu Meiren.
Gu Meiren said that they had a candidate named Li Ying this year, and they wanted to invite everyone to a meal and get to know each other. After all, they were busy preparing for the exam before, and many people didn't know each other.
The other party only had Gu Meiren's contact information and no phone number for the Winter Solstice, so she asked Gu Meiren to call the Winter Solstice as well. Gu Meiren doesn't like this kind of social gathering activities, but if she goes to the winter solstice, she will go with her acquaintances.
Dongzhi heard her hesitation and agreed.
It is normal for each group to have someone come forward to organize a party. After all, everyone is likely to become a colleague in the future. Even if some people fail this year, they may not take the test again next year. road.
The meal time was in the evening, and the winter solstice drew a comic series for a while. Seeing that it was almost time, he went out to the place agreed with Gu Meiren.
Gu Meiren changed into a T-shirt and jeans this time, and looked more like a student.
He saw people from a distance, and quickly trotted over: "Sorry, I'm late."
Gu Meiren smiled lightly: "It's okay, I came early."
The place to eat was at the restaurant next to them, and the two walked across the commercial street towards their destination. The winter solstice joked, "It's a pity that Basang has already set off, otherwise we can have a meal."
Gu Meiren said, "I'm not familiar with them either. I'll go back to AA, so as not to feel uncomfortable."
The winter solstice thought for a while, and said, "The other party said that they want to invite a meal, and AA may not work. We will buy some snacks at the door and go in and give everyone a share."
Gu Meiren agreed: "That's fine."
She doesn't want to take advantage of others, and she doesn't pretend to be arrogant. There is a difference between closeness and distance. It will be very comfortable to make friends like this.
On the winter solstice, he asked, "Is Li Ying a local? Who else is here besides us?"
Gu Meiren said uncertainly: "His father's name is Li Rui. He seems to be one of the examiners in our interview this time. Do you know him?"
winter solstice:……
Not only knew, but also was beaten.
I offended my father in the morning, and I was invited to dinner by my son in the evening. How do you feel?
He suddenly had the urge to turn around and go back.
Winter Solstice smiled bitterly: "I really know."
He briefly talked about the situation in the interview, and Gu Meiren was also surprised: "Then why don't we go?"
She said "we", not "me", and the winter solstice was a little touched: "No need, since you have made an appointment, don't go back on it."
The two walked into the hotel, said Li Ying's name, and were immediately led to the reserved private room by the waiter.
There were seven or eight people sitting in the private room, including men and women, among them Liu Qingbo, who knew the winter solstice.
Seeing them come in, a man smiled and said, "You are the last to come, and you will be fined for drinking later."
After speaking, he got up and stretched out his hand towards the winter solstice: "My name is Li Ying, you are the winter solstice, right? First in the written test, I have long admired the name, please give me more advice."
He behaved in a dignified manner, as if he didn't know anything about Dongzhi and his father. Dongzhi shook hands with him and smiled, "It's nice to meet you. Don't talk about the first one in the written test. I was lucky enough to memorize the book for a few days."
Li Yingshi laughed: "Well then, in fact, there are not enough people today, some people didn't come, just the few of us. But we all have a predestined relationship for taking the exam together. No matter whether we can be colleagues in the future, I hope we will not stop in the future. I have contacted, thank you my friends for giving me this face today, I have come to invite this meal, so don’t rush to pay for it later, I can’t beat you all!”
What he said was very humorous, everyone laughed, and the atmosphere suddenly became a lot more lively.
Although they have met each other several times, they are still relatively unfamiliar with each other. After introducing themselves to each other, the Winter Solstice finally compared the faces and names of the people in front of them one by one.
Just finished the test, the topic of course revolves around the test, the written test is all uniform, the more interesting is the interview, and the more pitiful is the interview, everyone has experienced painful experiences.
Some people said that when they were asked how to respond to practitioners who were unfriendly to our country when they participated in international exchanges in the future The similarities and differences in the technique, at that time, I was simply confused, and I had the heart to die.
Hearing everyone's wanton complaints, the Winter Solstice felt that his wounded heart was greatly comforted. As expected, the miserable alone was not as miserable as the others, and the candidates all over the world were the same.
After three rounds of drinking, they knew a lot about each other. Gu Meiren was not as silent as at first, and could chat a few words with a sweet-looking girl next to her.
The Winter Solstice chatted with the young man who said he was a psychic just now.
The other party's name is Cheng Yuan, which is probably due to professional reasons. Cheng Yuan's temperament is a bit gloomy, but after getting used to it, he is quite talkative.
From what he said, the Winter Solstice learned that the psychic is actually just a more elegant title. The folks are generally called the goddess or the gods. In the eyes of the famous and decent, they belong to the "sideways". Although Li Ying and Liu Qingbo did not discriminate against Cheng Yuan, but Cheng Yuan Fate is still a little uncomfortable, but chats with the winter solstice speculatively.
While chatting, Li Ying heard Li Ying raise his voice and say: "There are so many people present, why don't you speak up and let everyone help come up with ideas."
Everyone stopped talking and looked at the sound.
Li Ying said these words to the sweet-looking girl.
Her name is very chic, Chi Banxia. Pinellia is the name of a traditional Chinese medicine, and many people remember it at once.
Gu Meiren sat next to Chi Banxia and said, "Yes, there are so many people with great strength, maybe they can come up with a solution."
Chi Banxia was a little embarrassed, so she had to say to everyone: "Actually, she is a friend of mine. She works in the entertainment industry. She has encountered some strange things recently. I have to ask everyone's opinion."
Liu Qingbo asked, "What is the strange thing?"
Chi Banxia said: "She always has nightmares and can't sleep well. Even in broad daytime, when there is only one person in the house, she feels as if someone is following her. Also, her assistant has always had an accident recently, not because she fell off the stairs. When I came down, I was almost hit by a car while crossing the road, and I have changed two assistants in just one month."
Liu Qingbo pondered: "Sounds like being entangled by something unclean? Have you tried to find someone to exorcise evil spirits?"
Chi Banxia said: "I've tried it all. She also set up a separate room at home to make a Buddhist hall, and invited the Bodhisattva to come back, but as soon as she left the hall, she would feel uncomfortable, and it would be a good idea to wear consecrated objects on her body. Useless."
After listening to her description, everyone looked at each other in dismay.
If the other party is really entangled by something, then this is too evil!
Chi Banxia said: "I'm not good at exorcism, but I'm sure that she doesn't have a head-dropping technique, and her mind is normal."
She introduced herself just now, saying that she was from the Chi family in Hainan, and she was still a little dazed at the winter solstice. Now she knows that the Chi family in Hainan is probably related to the head-dropping technique.
The head-dropping technique is prevalent in Southeast Asia, and it is said that it is in the same vein as the Miao Border Gu technique, and its origin cannot be traced.
According to folklore, Master Xuanzang in the Tang Dynasty was about to return from Tianzhu, passing through the Tongtian River, and accidentally dropped the scriptures into the river. Fortunately, most of them were picked up. The missing part is the "prophecy" in Theravada Buddhism. Prophecy is incantation, which is the source of head descending.
There is also a legend that the head-turning technique originated from Maoshan Taoism. In a word, head-turning technique is very popular in Southeast Asia. Many ordinary people should be respectful in front of the head-turning master, lest they offend the other party, and even die. Do not understand.
During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, many people from Fujian, Guangdong, Hainan and other places went to Nanyang to do business, and they also dealt with this mysterious exotic spell. In China, another school was established, and the most famous one was the Chi family in Hainan.
It is said that some businessmen offended their opponents when they were doing business in Southeast Asia, and were asked by the other side to bow their heads, and they all came to the Chi family for help. Over time, the Chi family became famous.
However, these things were only known to Gu Meiren after the Winter Solstice.
At this moment, as soon as Chi Banxia's words came out, everyone was eager to try.
To put it bluntly, there are young people present, either just starting out, or wearing a halo since childhood. When they encounter such a thing, they naturally want to understand or show their skills.
Seeing this, Chi Banxia said: "My friend is offering a lot of money for a reward, looking for experts everywhere. If you are free, why don't you go over with me?"
Li Ying nodded: "I'll go take a look with you."
He looked around the crowd, and smiled again: "Even if we pass the interview, there will be a training exam later. I heard that it is a difficult practice. Now there is a rare opportunity, so it's time to practice and learn from each other."
People who haven't made up their minds before, after hearing what he said, they all decided to go and have a look together.
Chi Banxia said with a smile: "Then I will thank you all on behalf of my friends. Don't worry, she will definitely not let you all go for nothing."
The meal is almost the same. Since there is such an event, instead of sitting here and chatting, it is better to act now.
Everyone either took a taxi or drove over by themselves. Chi Banxia said a place, and everyone quickly met at a five-star hotel.
Chi Banxia explained: "My friend doesn't dare to go home and live recently, so he will stay in the hotel first. It's easier to meet here. I'll make a phone call first and ask her to pick us up."
She called, and soon came down a young woman who was in a hurry but didn't look like the one in trouble.
As soon as the other party spoke, everyone knew that this was the assistant of Chi Banxia's actor friend.
There is a need for people, but the air is so big that even people don't show their faces, and everyone is required to come to the door, and some people are not very happy at the moment.
When they came to the presidential suite on the top floor and the other party came to open the door in person, they didn't know why the other party was so mysterious.
Because Chi Banxia's friend turned out to be Hui Yiguang.
Hui Yiguang debuted for a few years, and the TV series she participated in went from supporting actresses to heroines. Her popularity rose rapidly. She has become a popular star and has countless fans. Similarly, there are countless gossip paparazzi staring at her every word and deed. If anyone knows She has been haunted by evil things recently, and it is estimated that the gossip news will be overwhelming immediately, and the TV series and movie advertisements looking for her to film will definitely be greatly reduced.
Huiyiguang outside the camera is still beautiful and moving, but now she is a little blue, obviously lack of sleep, and looks troubled.
She didn't expect Chi Banxia to bring so many people here, and she was obviously stunned when she opened the door.
Chi Banxia said: "Yiguang, they are all my friends, and they have their own strengths in some aspects. I can't see your problem, so I invite them to come together, brainstorm, and maybe find the answer."
Hui Yiguang knew what Chi Banxia did, and naturally understood what she was referring to. Hearing the words, he showed a tender and grateful smile: "Thank you, Banxia. Thank you, please come in quickly and take a seat."
The living room of the presidential suite is very spacious, and everyone is seated separately. Hui Yiguang asked the assistant to bring drinks and snacks, which was very thoughtful.
Huiyiguang said: "I'm very sorry, I didn't mean to put on airs just now and didn't pick you up in person. It's just that my private life was exposed to the reporter's camera every minute. If I went downstairs just now, you would have to follow me in the newspaper tomorrow. already."
Chi Banxia introduced: "Yiguang is my cousin's classmate, as well as my friend and fellow countryman. I will trouble you this time."
Li Ying said to Huiyiguang, "Let's talk about your troubles first."
Mentioning this, Hui Yiguang's face turned blue again.
Her description is similar to what Chi Banxia said, the difference is that it is more detailed.
According to Hui Yiguang's recollection, the strange thing happened about a month ago. During the day, she often heard someone talking in her ear, but after listening carefully, she couldn't hear clearly. At first, she thought she was too tired to film and had hallucinations, but she rested A few days later, she went to the hospital for an examination, but she did not get better. Gradually, even her sleep was often disturbed. She always felt that someone was watching her by the bedside, and she often woke up in the middle of the night because of it. I didn't sleep well at night, and I didn't have the energy to work. Last time I almost rolled down the stairs on the set because of this.
Hui Yiguang rolled up her sleeves, and everyone saw the five finger bruises on her white and tender arms, which were very conspicuous.
"This happened two days ago when I was staying in a hotel next to the set. At that time, I even asked my assistant to sleep in the same room with me, but she didn't feel anything." Hui Yiguang's face showed real fear, even now With so many people around, he still couldn't control his body trembling slightly.
"The most bizarre thing is that my previous two assistants were always injured inexplicably during the same month, and one was almost hit by a car. Now Xiao Han was filming a new movie last week, and the company just gave it to him. I changed it."
Li Ying heard the words and looked at the new assistant: "Then after you came to Miss Hui, did you encounter anything strange?"
Xiao Han shook his head and said that he had not met for the time being.
Li Ying asked Hui Yiguang again: "Then you are in this hotel now, have you encountered anything strange?"
Hui Yiguang: "I haven't finished filming yet, but I can't stand it anymore. I don't have a good rest at night, and I have frequent NGs during the day. I asked the director for two days off to rest. It's calm, but I don't know if I will come again tonight, I'm really scared, can you help me?"
There were tears in her eyes, and everyone couldn't bear to see her pitiful appearance.
Li Ying comforted: "Don't worry, let's take a look first."
Chi Banxia also said: "Don't worry, my friends are very capable."
Huiyiguang nodded gratefully: "It's too much trouble for you. If you need anything, please tell me at any time."
The crowd moved quickly.
Some took out the compass, and some just looked around in the suite. Before the winter solstice got into the habit of bringing a compass, they just followed the others to watch the fun.
He heard Hui Yiguang's words just now, and felt that the other party might be entangled by a ghost or some evil thing. It stands to reason that the psychic master Cheng Yuan should be the best at this way, but he wandered around. Shaking his head, he said that the suite was clean and he didn't find it.
Upon request, Hui Yiguang also opened his luggage and checked it for them, but no one found anything abnormal in the end.
Chi Banxia said: "Didn't you say that there is a problem with your house, can you let us go to your house to take a look?"
Mentioning there, Huiyiguang couldn't stop his expression of fear: "Of course, let my assistant take you there. I also encountered strange things in the hotel on the set, but now that the room has been withdrawn, it is impossible to go there again. convenient."
Li Ying nodded: "You don't need to go to the hotel, just go to your house."
The assistant took Xiao Han downstairs, and a total of ten people, including Chi Banxia, were divided into three cars. Winter Solstice, Cheng Yuan and Gu Meiren were in the same car.
Cheng Yuan said in the car, "I don't see any signs of being stuck by a spirit body on her body."
The spiritual body he said was a ghost, but in order to avoid the driver's panic, he changed it to a more obscure word.
Gu Meiren said, "I didn't find anything either."
Winter Solstice said ashamed: "You didn't find it, so I don't have it, but I think it's a little strange."
Both of them looked at him, Dongzhi glanced at the driver, and said, "Let's get off the bus."
While talking, the car arrived at the destination, a high-end community with a beautiful environment.
In the capital, such a location and such a house are naturally expensive, but with Huiyiguang's worth, he can definitely afford it.
The assistant brought the door card and key, but because he was not the owner of the house, he was still required to register his identity before letting go. Strictly at this point, it was hard to imagine that there would be a little boy who would fish in troubled waters.
But many things in the world are often not explained by common sense.
I haven't cleaned it for a week, and as soon as the door is opened, there is a smell of dust.
The assistant turned on the light and led the crowd in.
The house is quite big, beautifully decorated, and has a Mediterranean style, but in the winter solstice, he feels that the house is not big enough to live in.
Once he chatted with Kanchaosheng, and heard from the other party that many people in modern times think that the bigger the better when they live in a house, but if the house is too big and there are few people, it is easy to appear empty, lack of vitality and lack of yang energy. It's easy to have problems. At that time, he was quite strange. He said that the big families in ancient times lived in big mansions, didn't they? Look at Chaosheng and pouted, saying that you also know that they are big families. They have a lot of servants and servants.
Now that I am in Huiyiguang's big house, the winter solstice comes naturally, and I think of what Chaosheng said.
The master bedroom is also large, sitting west to east, with a large floor-to-ceiling window. It should be the first room to be favored by the sun in the morning.
It's all girls' stuff, there is a table full of cosmetics, there are dresses that haven't been put away on the bed, and there are a few cabinets of clothes in the changing room. It can be seen that Huiyiguang's living standard is very good. , The clothes are all new in season. Due to professional reasons on the winter solstice, sometimes he will pay attention to the news of the annual fashion week. He can see that there are several high-end customized models of luxury brands, which are obviously expensive.
He took out his mobile phone and searched for Hui Yiguang's personal information on the Internet, and Cheng Yuan and Gu Meiren came over.
"How is it?" Winter Solstice asked them.
Cheng Yuan shook her head: "I didn't find it."
Gu Meiren also said, "The same."
Gu Meiren was fine. Cheng Yuan said that he didn't find it, which meant that the house was clean.
Since it is very clean, why does Huiyiguang always have trouble in this house?
Gu Meiren guessed: "Could it have something to do with herself, after all, she said that something happened at the hotel on the set?"
Cheng Yuan shook her head: "I didn't find anything unusual about her."
He looked at the winter solstice: "You didn't say anything in the car just now, what was it?"
Winter Solstice said: "She said that she was the third assistant last week, because the first two assistants were injured in accidents, but after she changed the third assistant, she still encountered strange things, but the third assistant was safe and sound. Don't you think it's weird?"
Gu Meiren and Cheng Yuan looked at each other, apparently not discovering this detail before.
Cheng Yuan pondered: "You mean, this matter has something to do with the two assistants in front of her?"
Winter Solstice said: "Maybe there is something that her first two assistants did, but the third assistant didn't do, so I have to ask Huiyiguang herself."
Everyone walked around the house, and even went to the small Buddhist hall, but basically nothing was found.
Winter Solstice shared the doubts he found with others.
"I think Miss Hui may be hiding something from us, or she may feel inconvenient to tell us, but if she doesn't explain it clearly, we will never find any clues."
When everyone heard the words, their faces were a little unhappy.
Assistant Xiao Han hurriedly said: "Sister Hui is not such a person, she sincerely invites everyone to help!"
Li Ying ignored her, but said to Chi Banxia: "Xiao Chi, you also know what we are all about, although we can't be called elites in the industry, but at least we have some ability, if we can't even see it The problem, even those fortune-telling Feng Shui masters can't see it."
Chi Banxia was a little embarrassed: "I'm very sorry, I know as much as you, and I have nothing to hide!"
To be honest, at this point, everyone has some doubts that Hui Yiguang is actually an hallucination caused by too much work pressure, and the original curiosity has almost been exhausted. Ready to keep going.
But at this moment, assistant Xiao Han received a call.
On the other end of the phone, Hui Yiguang's scream almost penetrated the microphone, and they could even hear the winter solstice.
"It's here again! It's here again! Help! Come back and save me!
