Surrender II

You walked alone, scarred and bruised on the long road full of thorns.

Lost in desire, wandering in distress.

Indulging in delusion, believing in false appearances.

Waiting for a day to wear a crown on your head, wear gorgeous clothes, and hold glory in your hand.

Who else will make you, walking under the bright lights, involuntarily turn around and look back.

1,

On a winter night, there has just been a heavy snowfall, and there is still a thick layer of frost on the side of the road.

Zhuo Yue gathered up the scarf, put her hands in her pockets and quickly turned around the corner of the street.Because he walked too fast, his face was slightly flushed, and his breath formed a small cloud of warm mist in front of him.

This is the most prosperous entertainment district in K City, where countless passionate revelers are scattered in the sensual venues, squandering their nights of luxury and money.He stopped in front of a gorgeously decorated building, looked up at the huge signboard above his head, and his face was exposed from the cover of the dark collar.It was a young and handsome face, the bright neon lights reflected a bewitching color in those dark and shiny eyes, under the high bridge of the nose, the thin lips read out the name of the shop softly.

"The Lost City..."

He took out a black card from his pocket, glanced at it, held it tightly, and walked up the marble steps to the gorgeously lit foyer.He handed the membership card to the doorman calmly, his slightly curled fingers revealing the anxiety in his heart.That card was borrowed, and the annual fee of such a high-end club was tens of thousands, and he simply couldn't afford it.

"Welcome to the Lost City, sir." The doorman returned the card with both hands after swiping it through the card reader, "Can I store your coat and scarf for you?"

"No need." He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, pretending to have a bad memory, "I haven't been here for a long time...Which box does President Fang of Huasheng Entertainment use?"

"Please come with me." The hot female welcome greeted her warmly and led the way with a smile.

The elevator went up to the eighth floor, and the welcome guest stopped in front of a door, and was stopped by him when he was about to knock on the door.

"I don't need you, I'll go in by myself."

"Good sir, I wish you a pleasant stay in the Lost City tonight." She bent slightly, turned and left.

Zhuo Yue stood outside the door, looking at the pitch-black door that cut off sight and sound, hesitated again and again, and finally held the even colder metal door handle with cold hands, let out a breath slowly, and pushed it open forcefully.

In the box, the changing lights created an ambiguous atmosphere, decadent music lingered in the ears, and the vibrating bass seemed to be beating the heart every time.A young boy was standing in front of the big screen singing a rock song in English, his voice was a little hoarse.The man bartending at the bar saw him and raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhuo Yue pursed her lips and said, "I'm looking for Mr. Fang."

The man turned his head and shouted towards the semi-circular sofa area: "Marvin, someone is looking for you."

The tall man who was sitting leisurely in the middle of the sofa was holding two handsome MBs on one left and one on the right, and was talking about some funny jokes. Hearing this, he raised his eyes to the door, his eyes paused on him, and there was a playful smile in his eyes Meaning, raised his hand.

The singing stopped suddenly, the singer glanced at Zhuo Yue, turned off the music, and sat aside with a worried face.For a while, the whole box was eerily quiet.

Zhuo Yue walked to the sofa and said, "Boss Fang, I'm here today because..."

"Mr. Zhuo." The man interrupted him unceremoniously, "No matter what you want to talk about, isn't it rude to interrupt my private time like this uninvited?"

He froze: "Sorry. I can't make an appointment with your secretary, so I have to..."

The other party smiled: "Come to see me, do you want to change jobs?"

Zhuo Yue pursed her lips, lowered her head slightly: "Yes."

"I offended investors, was abandoned by Feng Lan, and after being desperate, I wanted to find my Huasheng to be my next home. You have a good plan." The sarcasm in the smile on the man's lips became more and more intense, "You treat me Fang Mingyan, is this a scrap yard?"

These words were merciless, like throwing his self-esteem into the mud with both hands.Zhuo Yue's face turned pale, and her nails were so hard that they almost pierced her palms.

He has an outstanding appearance, and there is an aura in his eyes, and it has been smooth sailing since his debut.Feng Lan's boss, Shen Haofeng, took a fancy to him before he graduated, and starred in the costume TV series "Fighting Mountains and Rivers", winning the best TV newcomer award in one fell swoop.When he became famous when he was young, he didn't pay much attention to anyone, he was cold and arrogant, and he was not good at getting along with others.

There are many rookies in the entertainment industry, and Zhuo Yue's acting career has always been fixed on the old costume boys, and at the age of 26, he was squeezed aside by the fresh meat.A few months ago, the company won him the lead role in a drama and asked him to sit with the producer. It was probably because the other party made a move, so he slapped the boss. Not only did he lose the role, It also caused the company to lose its investment.Shen Haofeng was furious, and immediately hid him in the snow, and all the manager's assistants withdrew, leaving him to fend for himself.The producer is very powerful in the circle, and many costume drama crews dare not invite him again.In the past half a year, he has not received a single advertisement, a role, or a notice, and he has almost faded out of people's sight.The usury borrowed by his adoptive father made him even worse, and it has reached the point where there is no refund.

Zhuo Yue lowered her head, her eyelashes drooped slightly to cover the emotions in her eyes, and she said with some difficulty: "I said a lot of inappropriate things before, and the other party always said a lot of inappropriate things, I'm sorry..."

Two years ago, Huasheng offered him an olive branch and invited him to quit at a high price.The boss, Fang Mingyan, even talked to him once. At that time, he was in the limelight, and he had no room for refusal, which made it difficult for the other party to step down.If I come to ask for help now, it is really because I have nowhere to go.Huasheng is bigger than Fenglan, and Fang Mingyan's status in the circle is not low, and black and white are both right and left, even the producer has to buy him some face.After careful calculation, he is his only hope for a comeback.

"If you want to apologize, just saying it doesn't seem to be sincere." Fang Mingyan leaned on the sofa, his voice was a little lazy, "Drink this glass of wine."

Looking at the light blue liquid in the goblet, Zhuo Yue tightened her lips.He drinks lightly and gets drunk easily, so he usually avoids drinking, but at the moment he is already on the verge of riding a tiger.He picked up the cup, closed his eyes and swallowed it down.The wine had a high alcohol content, and when I swallowed it, I felt the flames burning all the way from the esophagus to the stomach, it was hot.He suppressed his discomfort and asked, "Mr. Fang thinks he is sincere enough now?"

"I accept your apology." The man's eyes flicked slowly across his face, as if sizing up a piece of goods, "But in business, you don't play well. You cause trouble, offend investors, and you are under pressure again." The bottom of the box has not been exposed for so long, why do you think I should spend money on you?"

Zhuo Yue was silent for a long time, with a layer of cold despair in his eyes, he said slowly: "You really have no reason to sign me." After speaking, he turned around and was about to go out.

"Stop." Came a low voice.

He stood still, turned his head and said coldly: "What else is Mr. Fang thinking of, forcing me to have another drink?"

Fang Mingyan bent his lips.

This guy's temper is still the same as it was two years ago, with aloofness and arrogance coming out of his bones, like a lotus flower in the mud, clean and not demonic, beautiful and clean.However, in this dye vat-like circle, there are usually only two outcomes for such a person, lose power and fade out, or become contaminated.Sure enough, after only two short years, he fell from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the valley, and had to bow his head to ask for help.And even if he was begging for help, his attitude was still so unruly, like a stubborn wild horse, unwilling to compromise.

The comprehensive evaluation of Bonjour is not bad.Unlike those male actors who are only handsome in appearance, his eyes are clear and clear, and he seems to be looking directly into your heart when he is focused.There is a clear and composed charm in every gesture, as if it comes out of an ancient painting, which is unforgettable at first sight.This is why costume dramas like to find him as the leading role. If he is trained well, he will be successful.But the premise is - first to wear off those sharp spikes on his body.

Fang Mingyan looked at that person indifferently: "If I am willing to give you a chance, what will you give in exchange?"

There was a moment of confusion in Zhuo Yue's eyes.

He stood alone, with many indescribable emotions in his eyes, and finally, as if he had given up on something, he lowered his eyes slightly: "Use everything I have."
