Chapter 434: Marketable but priceless
Chapter 434 Marketable but priceless
She knew that Pei Ziheng really didn't like to bring people to social occasions.
In the past two years, he has accepted so many female companions, but none of them can show up with him on big occasions. When he reaches his status, there are actually many activities that require companionship. In his previous life, she was just his underground lover. She was shady and rarely went with him. However, she was jealous and did not allow him to bring others with him. Therefore, he is a majestic business giant and the head of an emperor, and he actually brings most of his secretaries when he attends social events.
His secretary is a woman, which makes Xia Ling feel relieved.
Later, Xia Ling watched the interview, and a fashion and luxury magazine interviewed Wang Jingwan and talked about her prospective fiancé. Wang Jingwan said with a smile: "I have liked him for a long time. I first met him at several social occasions. For others, changing female companions is like changing clothes, but he is very clean and self-contained, which makes people feel at ease."
At that time, Xia Ling felt that she had dug a hole for herself to jump into.
Thinking about the past, she felt a little sad.
Jin Yifei observed the words and asked, "What, you're not happy?" He teased her again, "Why are you dissatisfied with being brought in by Pei Ziheng? Xiao Ling, you should be lucky. Do you know how most of the little female stars here got here?"
He raised his chin and nodded not far away.
She followed his line of sight and saw under the starry sky, on the deck, next to the shining champagne tower, a plump man was holding a slim woman in his arms, moving his hands and feet without any scruples.
That woman looks familiar, she is...
"The heroine of "The Thirteenth Letter"," Jin Yifei said, "has good acting skills, but it's a pity that she has no background and has never been popular. I had to spend a lot of money to hire a middleman to come here to find a backer and try my luck."
Xia Ling looked away and said in a very calm tone: "That was the path she chose." In this regard, she is not a very sympathetic person. Everyone has to pay the price for their own desires, just like she wants to keep her heart. If he has a baby, he has to marry Pei Ziheng. From a certain point of view, it is also selling himself out in disguise.
Jin Yifei said: "Do you think she wants to be like this? Her acting skills are so solid, but she is still unknown after five or six years of debut. Do you know what five or six years of youth means in this industry?"
Without waiting for her to answer, he continued talking on his own, "This is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that you are beautiful, not popular, and have no background. All you can face is endless harassment. Xiao Ling, do you think she never persisted? She was as clean and stubborn as you when she first debuted."
Jin Yifei looked at her and smiled, "I wanted to date her at that time, but she sternly rejected me. Of course, she didn't get the role in my movie. Oh, by the way, that movie was called "Glass Blade" , it was the one that became a hit at the box office and won many awards.”
Xia Ling glanced at him: "How dare you say that? After all, you are also one of the perpetrators."
Jin Yifei chuckled, "The perpetrator? Hahaha, life is short, and it is right to enjoy yourself in time. Xiao Ling, Xiao Ling, what do you think I am, a savior? Saving the entertainment industry by myself? Look, she was Even if he didn’t follow me, he would still follow someone else.”
Xia Ling was silent. She had long known that there were many dark sides in this circle, but she had never experienced it personally. She hadn't seen "Letter 13" either, but she had worked with Jin Yifei and knew his vision and level. He said that the actress had good acting skills, so she must be very good.
"Even if she doesn't want to obey you, can't you give her a chance? I thought you would consider the actor's quality when choosing roles." Xia Ling said. Jin Yifei laughed again: "Of course I consider the standard, otherwise how could I have made so many films with top box office reviews? But Xiao Ling, you have to know," he turned around, "there are so many people in the world who work hard. There are a lot of people who work hard and are willing to be unspoken. Why should I leave them alone and use her? "
“Then you used me back then…”
"You were in an emergency at that time, and you really couldn't find anyone," he waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Besides, I can't afford to offend Boss Li. Look, you are also a person with a backer. If it weren't for Boss Li, For my sake, even if I ask you to act, I will definitely give you some trouble - do you understand?"
Xia Ling was a little dumbfounded when she heard it. It turned out that it was so complicated and tortuous.
Not far away, the actress was still having **** with the plump man. She looked very involved, coquettishly feeding the man drinks, her eyes were passionate and intoxicated, like a little girl who was deeply in love and couldn't extricate herself.
Jin Yifei leisurely admired her acting skills, and commented from time to time: "She's very hardworking. This performance, tsk, is just like a movie queen. You said that if she obeyed me, how could she end up like this, having to serve a perverted old man?" ?”
Looking at the pair, Xia Ling felt a little bored. She turned her head and called the waiter holding a tray to order a cocktail. Jin Yifei was very excited: "I want it too, I want it too!" He stretched out his hand to get the wine.
Xia Ling turned slightly to the side, retracted the hand holding the goblet, and stepped aside.
He suddenly stared at her wrist: "Huh?" Before she could react, he had taken the cocktail glass from her hand and handed it back to the waiter, "This bracelet of yours..."
Xia Ling lowered her head and saw the bracelet on her hand. It was the one given by Pei Ziheng a few days ago. It contained eighteen brilliant and dazzling colored diamonds, inlaid into extremely gorgeous iris flowers. She didn't want to wear it because it was too ostentatious, but Pei Ziheng insisted. He said, if someone with no eyes comes to provoke you, you have to weigh yourself.
Xia Ling said, "Where can there be any blind person? The whole world knows that I am pregnant with your child."
Pei Ziheng still insisted. He couldn't guarantee that the business leaders could recognize the face of a female star. If they didn't find out whose woman she was, wouldn't it be in trouble? But he can 100% guarantee that no matter how bad the vision of these big guys here is, they will not miss an expensive and rare diamond bracelet.
They will know how noble and favored she is.
Xia Ling didn't know how much this bracelet was worth, but it looked very extraordinary at first glance. As expected, Jin Yifei's face changed slightly: "A top-quality purple diamond of more than five carats, and a complete set of blue diamonds, plus this design, this cut …Xiao Ling, I’m afraid you won’t be able to hold on to this bracelet for 200 million yuan.”
She was shocked. She had expected it to be expensive, but she didn't expect it to be so expensive. He raised his wrist, looked at the bracelet over and over, and asked Jin Yifei uncertainly: "Are you kidding...?"
"Tch, you don't believe my vision?" Jin Yifei looked disdainful, "Do you know the international price of such a large and pure purple-red diamond?...Well, I don't know either, this thing is simply Marketable but priceless.”
