In the end, the ranks of the two have risen a lot. Looking at the time, there are also two hours away. Sheng Qiao is thinking about Qiaoâs mother and gets up to say goodbye to Huo Xi.
He sent her to the door and said in a low voice, âif they havenât come back, donât wait.â
âUm! Bye, Huo Xi, rest early! â
He nodded his head.
He didnât close the door until Sheng Qiao turned around and disappeared into the path in front of the house. The room was quiet again. She didnât make any noise when she was there. Even when she talked to him, she courted him carefully.
He turned on the TV for a while, finished watching âThe Road of Xuanzangâ which Sheng Qiao had just seen, and finally went upstairs to sleep.
Some boring Buddhist art documentaries, he didnât expect she would like them.
At that end, the light finally came on in Qiaoâs house.
Sheng Qiao thought about it, and finally got up the courage to knock on the door.
Opening the door is Qiaoâs nanny Zhang Ma. Looking at the strange face at the door, she asked, âWho are you looking for, girl?â
âIâm looking for Qiao Yu,â Sheng said.
Zhang Ma once saw that it was so late. She was a girl again. She was still looking for Qiao Yu. Her eyes suddenly changed. Later, Qiao Yu came downstairs and asked, âWho is it, Zhang ma?â
Zhang Ma turned around and said, âShe is looking for you!â
Qiao Yu walked to the door two steps, and saw Sheng Qiao, his eyes were all staring out, âhow are you coming?â Word falls, hurriedly say again: âcome in first, Zhang Ma, pour a cup of hot water, it is cold outside.â
Zhang Ma replied. Sheng Qiao came in and looked at the familiar environment. Her eyes were a little sore. She bit her tongue to hold back. Qiao Yu invited her to sit down in the living room, looked at her for a few eyes, and thought that she was coming for termination.
âThe program is already going. This process will be very slow. You donât have to worry.â
Sheng Qiao nodded, and in order not to arouse doubt, she made an excuse: âI just came here to do something, thinking that you donât have to run again tomorrow to sign the document along the way.â
âBut the documents are in the company,â said Qiao Yu.
Sheng QiaoďźââŚâŚâ
She took the water poured by Zhang Ma, thanked her, looked up the stairs, hesitated and asked, âhow is my, your mother? Is it better? â
âItâs OK,â said Qiao Yu. âHer legs and feet are not flexible. She fell off the wheelchair accidentally in the morning. She has been treated.â
Sheng Qiao breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she would like to see her mother with her own eyes, now itâs inconvenient to put forward with this identity. After chatting with Qiao Yu for two sentences, she will get up and leave. She just walked to the door and still changed her shoes. Suddenly, a sound came from upstairs.
Qiaoâs mother pushed her wheelchair to the railings of the entrance of the building. She asked softly, âare there any guests at home?â
Sheng Qiao burst into tears.
She quickly turned back, quickly wiped her tears, clenched her fist and steadied her mood before turning to say, âHello aunt.â
âMom, this is my client, Sheng Qiao,â said Qiao Yu.
Qiaoâs mother looked at the girl at the door from afar. She couldnât see her face clearly, but somehow she felt very kind. She scolded Qiao Yu gently: âyou didnât tell me that there was a guest. We didnât treat well.â
When Sheng Qiao saw that she was going to take the elevator to get down, she quickly said, âAuntie, I have left in advance, and I will visit you next time.â
Sheâs not ready yet. Sheâs afraid that sheâll lose control of her mood if she sees Qiaoâs mother at close range.
Looking at the clock on the wall, Qiaoâs mother saw that it was late, nodded: âOK, be careful on the way. Qiao Yu, send Miss Sheng. â
Qiao Yu answered, and sent Sheng Qiao out. Seeing her shoulder in the night and head down, she just walked forward. He doesnât understand why she suddenly fell down.
After thinking about it, he pulled Sheng Qiao, who still had to go out, âIâll drive you away. Itâs so late. Itâs not easy to take a taxi.â
He suddenly remembered that Sheng Qiao had no money or car.
Sheng Qiao didnât refuse. She followed him to the garage and drove on the road. The fragrance in the car was all the aloes she used to buy for him. Qiao Qiao doesnât exist, who bought these for him?
The more she thinks about it, the more sad she feels. She cries in the back seat.
Qiao YuďźââŚâŚâ
He understood it as she was under too much pressure recently, so he had to comfort her: âSheng Qiao, now no matter the law or the public opinion are on your side, everything is moving in a good direction, you donât have too much pressure, it will get better. â
âWhatâs the use?â she sobbed.
Whatâs the use? Except for Huo Xi, her own world has nothing.
Qiao Yu is not good at comforting people. At this time, there is no way but to step on the accelerator and increase the horsepower to quickly send Sheng Qiao home.
She had a bad sleep this night. She had a lot of dreams. When she woke up at the end of the night, they all disappeared into a bubble, and even the dream itself was no longer remembered.
After washing and eating breakfast, she went to the place where she had an appointment with Qiao Yu to sign the document, and then dragged luggage to the airport.
No one paid attention to her during the private trip. She was only asked to take off the sunglasses and mask during the security check. Fortunately, there were not many people in the queue. The identity verification staff recognized her, obviously, but they just nodded and smiled at her with professional ethics.
Unable to afford VIP and first-class cabin, Sheng Qiao found the location of economy class. Once wearing headphones, she did not take off sunglasses for the whole journey.
After getting off the plane, she showed the taxi driver the address, and finally arrived at the destination after winding around for two hours.
Itâs a town similar to the urban-rural fringe.
The buildings on both sides of the asphalt road are self built, with uneven height. Some of them are made of white glazed tiles, some of them are directly brick walls. Sheng Qiao looks for the address on her mobile phone and finally sees a bungalow decorated with rolling shutters.
Sheng Qiaoâs home.
It was dinner time, and the smell of food came from the narrow kitchen. Sheng Qiao stood at the door, took a deep breath, and finally said, âMom, Iâm back.â
There was a sound inside, a light was thrown at the door, and then there was the sound of the wheel running over the ground. A woman in a wheelchair came out of the kitchen and looked at her with a surprised face: âQiao Qiao, you are back.â
Sheng Qiaoâs eyes froze, glancing across the womanâs face, and finally landed on the empty trouser of her left leg.
In her mind, Gao Meiling said: your disabled mother.
Both of her mothers are in wheelchairs.
She closed her eyes, pressed down her tears, and smiled, âyes, nothingâs happened recently. Come back to see you, mom. I miss you so much.â
She leaned over and hugged her.
The womanâs eyes were red with joy. âJust in time, mom cooked dinner, you are just in time. You wait a moment, mom fried two more dishes you like to eat. â
Sheng Qiao answered happily, put down her luggage and tied up her hair, and went to the kitchen to help Shengâs mother wash the dishes.
Shengâs mother lives in a remote town. In the year she signed a contract with star shining media, Gao Meiling helped her find a new home in the new environment. No one here knows that the woman selling handmade insoles is the mother of Female Star Sheng Qiao.
Sheng Qiao seldom goes out. Most of the time, she stays in a small room to read the old books. Sometimes someone comes to the store to buy insoles. She also wears a mask to go out for reception. The neighborhood knows that itâs Shengâs daughter who comes back and praises the beauty of her daughter. Itâs very leisurely.
But this kind of idle life only lasted for less than a week. Sheng Qiao received a phone call from Fang Bai. He didnât know whether he was happy or worried.
âSister Qiao, where are you? Sister Gao asked me to pick you up and said⌠said she has arranged work for you. â
âAh?â Sheng Qiao sat up from the bed and pulled off the curling stick. âWhatâs the work?â
âShe has got a variety show for you. Itâs going to be recorded tomorrow morning.â
Is Gao Meiling ill? Itâs all like this. Take her back to work?
Sheng Qiao calmed down. âIâm in my hometown. Wait a minute. Iâll call to ask.â
She called Gao Meiling.
She seems to have guessed that she would call, so answered very quickly. There was no quarrel in her voice in the last few days. âAs long as the courtâs judgment is not down, you are still star shining mediaâs artist. You have the right to perform the obligations in the contract.â
Sheng Qiao understood what she meant.
Star shining media canât make the company lose money and artist at the same time. Since in public opinion and law they are no longer dominant, they should use contracts to drain the final value of Sheng Qiao.
At such a stormy moment, whether itâs the variety show itself come, or star shining media actively contacts, the price of Sheng Qiao will only be high.
At this time, there is no need to fight against star shining media, so as to avoid the dog jumping off the wall. Finish the last list and leave.
Sheng Qiao smiled: âOK, let Fang Bai pick me up tomorrow morning. Now that itâs started, the assistant and the make-up artist have to give it back to me, right? â
Gao Meiling said coldly: âfor indoor variety show, the program team requires no personal assistant. You can handle it yourself.â
Just hang up.
Sheng Qiao turns her eyes to her mobile phone and her mother shouts outside: âQiao Qiao, have a meal.â
âComing.â
During the meal, Sheng Qiao told Shengâs mother that she would go back to work in the afternoon. Although Shengâs mother didnât want to, she always supported her daughterâs career. After dinner, she was in a wheelchair and sent her to the car. She also asked her to carry two bags of salted duck eggs and pickled vegetables.
The food couldnât get on the plane. Sheng Qiao had to check it in again, but she didnât feel any trouble. Motherâs love for her daughter can be felt even if she changes her soul.
The next morning, Fang Bai knocked at the door on time.
Sheng Qiao put on half of her make-up, opened the door and saw the breakfast he had in his hand. She was happy to receive it. âI knew you would buy it for me, so I didnât make it.â
At breakfast, he introduced the variety show to Sheng Qiao.
âItâs called 24-Hour Cohabitation. The shooting time is 20 days. There are six guests in total. You have to live together for 20 days. Sister Qiao, you bring more clothes. Itâs getting colder and colder.â
Sheng Qiao nodded and asked, âWho are the other five?â
âThe program team didnât say, we will know until we arrive at the scene.â Fang Bai hesitated for a moment and then continued: âbesides, sister Qiao, this program is live for 24 hours a day, and the program will start to be broadcast on the platform in a moment when we arrive.â
âThatâs great.â Sheng Qiao, at the same time, started searching on the computer.
This indoor variety show, which uses live broadcast as a gimmick, has been warming up for more than two months on the Internet, and no guests have been announced yet. The online platform has opened a live column, which has a live countdown, but the number of bookings is less than 100000.
At first glance, itâs a variety show with little heat. She knows that the company canât let her go to programs with high data flow and high exposure rate. Itâs better to be tired and have a high salary.
âIn addition, the program group will release a clip version every Saturday, just like the regular variety show, for those who donât have time to watch the live broadcast.â
Sheng Qiao said she understood.
She didnât know that she had to go for so long before. After breakfast, she packed again. She thought about the urination of the variety show in the past two years. When she comes, she might have to rely on her own in clothes, food, housing and transportation. She only brought a few sets of clothes to change, and the rest were all necessities of life. At last, she stuffed ten salted duck eggs into it.
Three hours later, the car drove to a very remote area in the suburb.
There are new buildings nearby, many projects are under construction, and there are buildings that have already been handed over. However, the occupancy rate is very low, and the surrounding green environment is good, but there are few people, showing some desolation.
The room for shooting is a two-story courtyard rented by the program team. When they get to the door, they can see the camera and staff. Sheng Qiao got out of the car with her luggage. Soon, the director of the directing group came up and introduced himself: âHello, Sheng Qiao, Iâm Cheng Feng, the general director.â
Sheng Qiao politely shook hands with him, and Cheng Feng said, âafter entering that door, the program began to record. You are the second one to arrive.â
Sheng Qiao nodded, looked back and said to Fang Bai, who was uneasy, âgo back.â
Fang Bai, like a little daughter-in-law, watched her pull her luggage and push the door, and finally got on the car.
Chapter 16 â Cohabitation Variety
In the end, the ranks of the two have risen a lot. Looking at the time, there are also two hours away. Sheng Qiao is thinking about Qiaoâs mother and gets up to say goodbye to Huo Xi.
He sent her to the door and said in a low voice, âif they havenât come back, donât wait.â
