Chapter 17 I want you to drink but you can't afford it, what are you doing here? ...

Like the vast land covered with snow, it revives in one day, like a colorful garden with fertilizer accumulated for a long time, it returns to spring overnight.

Li Su unveiled his flowering period and became a Li Su that many people were not familiar with.

"Oh my god, did you see it? Did you see it? She changed into a close-fitting waist cheongsam today, and her childish figure became wavy in seconds! I heard that she is going out for social events with General Zheng tonight... What route is she taking?"

"What route? She doesn't want to suffer! But she probably hasn't decided yet. I sit next to her and sometimes I can still smell the smell."

"What smell?"

"The smell I got from the crowded subway!" The man lowered his head and lowered his voice even more. "If she really became a mistress, she couldn't have even found a place to live and transportation!"

"Then I can understand it. No wonder she has been dressing up so hard recently, but she hasn't gotten it yet? Hahahaha, I hope General Zheng can keep steady. I can't stand girls who can't calm down and like to take shortcuts."

Li Su stood at the door of the tea room holding a thermos cup and heard five comments per second. The parties involved happened to be the screenwriters who had just collaborated with him not long ago.

I didn't expect everyone's speculations and comments to be so unoriginal.

——Of course, she has indeed changed. Her dressing style has changed, and her work style has also changed. Based on her understanding of the new position, her professionalism has completely changed her life.

She used to like lying down and reading novels after work, but now, she will look at the expensive cheongsams on the wall while doing parame, reminding herself what kind of life she has chosen.

Restrained, frugal, self-disciplined, and always restrained her figure, personality, and mood, so that she could always wear this dress and make this dress valuable forever.

Painfully insisting, she wanted to be Li Su who could make her family proud.

The attention and guidance she attracted probably also indirectly showed that the direction and speed of her progress made everyone very concerned. For her, doing business is indeed more talented than being a screenwriter.

People came and went in the corridor. Li Su leveled her brows, straightened her back and walked in.

"Why are you talking about the boss in the company? It's more casual than going to the toilet?" Li Su's voice arrived before she arrived. She quickly leaned in, with a pair of round eyes, and her eyes flickered back and forth on everyone.

Making a considerate reminder, Li Su asked curiously in a low voice: "But... who are you talking about? I have to be careful not to offend people I shouldn't offend."

Who? You! Superfluous question! Several screenwriters looked at each other with a guilty conscience, their mouths as if they were sewn shut, unable to open.

"You did it on purpose?" Someone asked secretly.

"Why did you do it on purpose?" Li Su saw the embarrassment of the others, pretending to be enlightened, and asked back: "Can't you tell me about this? Is it someone I have a good relationship with?"

"You!" Now everyone was sure that Li Su did it on purpose, and they were afraid that she would whisper to General Zheng, so they gave in, "I'm sorry, sorry, okay? We were talking nonsense."

This was not because they really knew they were wrong, but because they were afraid. They apologized without saving face, trying to force the other party to accept it magnanimously.

Li Su looked them up and down with contempt, glancing at them several times. A cold smile appeared on her nose. She asked, "Is the bet big? What if I fight back? The day I come out will be the day you are kicked out of the circle. - Don't talk nonsense next time."

It was the first time for several screenwriters to see Li Su's sharp side. They hid their surprise and pondered Li Su's subtext. They pulled their mouth corners and showed an ugly smile.

"Go and get busy." Li Su turned around to pour water, leaving them behind and staying.

Such an episode could not disturb Li Su's heart. She subconsciously sniffed and smelled the fragrance of pine snow on her body. She exhaled comfortably. Thinking of going to the dinner party with General Zheng tonight, she felt strangely uneasy.

————

Uncomfortable scrutiny is like a sharp wooden thorn accidentally falling into a shoe. It is so thin that it can be easily broken, but because of the tight constraints, it is easy to be stabbed.

Li Sumu was lost in thought, sitting at the bottom of the table, near the door, where the dishes were served. She looked at her pair of chopsticks in front of the table, still feeling unbelievable.

When she entered the room, she had a quick glance. She unexpectedly saw a hand that reached into her skirt without restraint. Her heart skipped a beat, and her eyes and body became cramped.

She didn't know where to look.

The youth that was waiting to be sold, the tempting beauty, the ridiculous and knowing tug-of-war during the meal, still made Li Su, who had been prepared, flustered

. Stiffly, with a smile on her face, she accepted the gazes of the powerful, listened to the occasional verbal teasing thrown at her during the meal, and faced the scrutiny of the whole room. For a moment, Li Su wanted to escape.

She didn't know where to look, she didn't know what she should do, who she should become. Just as she knew very well that she didn't belong here, just as she knew very well how far away the world she wanted to reach was from her. And she would not give up.

Li Su suddenly realized that she was hating - hating that her awakening only brought pain, hating that she stepped out but could not adapt to the rules.

However, she could only shout out cowardly in her heart, and there was no other valuable and powerful action. What is this?

A moment of confusion, a moment of hatred, a moment of disgust, a moment of relief, a moment of letting go, all emotions turned into a moment, and were let go by her after a long breath.

You have to... move forward. After all, this is her challenge.

Li Su cheered up again, looked straight ahead bravely, from Zheng Ting's shoulder, all the way past, until she unexpectedly saw a pair of young, beautiful eyes.

It was Xu Shen. Li Su knew that she would meet him one day, but she didn't expect it to be today.

How could it be? It is obviously not easy to have dinner with Xu Shen. But Li Su met him at the first dinner party she accompanied Zheng Ting.

Is this dog shit luck? Li Su thought of Zhang Youqing and Lu Jiayi, and she pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled lightly, revealing the desolate taste of the bleak autumn wind.

The crystal lamp above her head was slightly shaken by the air conditioner, and the light and shadows were like lake shadows, flickering slightly, as if sitting on a boat, in the shining warm colors, with a serious look.

In the turbid atmosphere, Xu Shen was like a clear spring, with clean cool air, soft light like his natural outline, dark eyes, overly gentle.

He looked at her lightly, looked at her quietly. As if approaching, as if sitting beside her lightly.

Xu Shen was the only one on the scene who looked at Li Su without color. Even if the rumors painted, smeared Li Su into a dirty color.

Li Su subconsciously turned her head away, and her lips tightened unconsciously.

She felt uncomfortable and embarrassed for herself. ——Xu Shen's gentle gaze and forbearing calmness made her feel more embarrassed. He was worried about her, but she didn't want to be worried. Especially at this moment.

Instead of worrying, she hated it more.

Hated to accidentally see herself in the mirror when she was acting, hated all her purposeful enthusiasm, hated not getting the corresponding reward after working hard, this useless self.

And this hate, at this moment, also became an avoidance of Xu Shen.

"Beauty, this is the first time I see you..." A gust of hot wind blew from the right side, almost invading, and a hand was placed on Li Su's shoulder, holding her tightly with a warm palm.

The moving lips approached step by step, and Li Su was startled. Subconsciously, she raised the glass to block her side face to block the approach of the person.

Li Su's face was not very good, pale as snow, and her red lips looked too bright. The disgust and dissatisfaction in her eyebrows could hardly be concealed.

Li Su subconsciously looked at Zheng Ting and saw a vague smile on the corner of his lips. He looked at her with his eyes slanted, his fingertips resting on the bottom of the wine glass, and stood by and watched, as if he didn't care about her life or death and innocence.

Zheng Ting's indifference made Li Su feel ridiculous.

What does this mean?

Do you also want to know her skills and bottom line? Or is he waiting for her to fall completely to avoid her firm and neat rejection when he reaches out his hand.

"Are you afraid of being taken advantage of?" Liu Jia's tone was unfriendly. He raised his glass and clinked it with Li Su's. The red wine was surging at the bottom of the glass. He asked, "You can't afford it. Why are you here? Can't you bear it?"

Yes, how did you get here?

It seemed as if he heard a sneer, as if he heard the inexplicable cry of a little girl. Two faces appeared in his mind, a mother and daughter who were watching indifferently. Their lips opened slightly, saying the same thing.

"Go home. Child, go home."

No! Li Su's vulnerable spirit inexplicably became strong, almost like a survival, and quickly changed into that close and lovely face.

Li Su stood up and poured the wine, unusually enthusiastic and mature: "I have been fighting with our General Zheng for a long time to have a chance to meet you. I came here just to toast you a glass. Brother, I am a person with a tender skin and a little ticklish. If I do something wrong, you have to be magnanimous!"

Li Su touched the glass to him, knocked it hard, and then raised the glass and drank it first as a toast.

Shaking the empty cup, Li Su apologized with a smile in his eyes: "There are so many beauties in the field, brother, thank you for your support, so that I, Li Su, can also become a well-known person in this game. Thank you, you are really my benefactor. If you need me to run errands in the future, just let me

know and I will do it." "You drink so fast, there is no room for discussion on how to drink..." Liu Jia seemed to be smiling, thinking that Li Su was being smart, and said to her in a neutral tone: "You are too kind, I dare not drink this glass of wine. I haven't done anything, how can I be considered a benefactor."

Li Su pretended to be stupid, as if his mouth was filled with honey, and said sweetly: "If you don't like it, then I'm just being sentimental. There is a long way to go. Remember us. There is a chance for win-win cooperation, sooner or later

." "Ha." Liu Jia snorted and laughed, staring at Li Su. His eyes were cold, and he didn't hide the ridicule at the corners of his mouth. He didn't make up because of these nice words.

"Li Su, right..." Liu Jia told her very clearly, "In your eyes, my face is only worth a glass of wine and a few witty words? You apologized so self-satisfiedly, haha, I didn't know that things could be so simple." Liu Jia

shook the wine glass and waved to the female companion he brought with him.

The woman smiled, holding a bottle in one hand and a wine glass in the other, twisting her waist and walking over gracefully, looking at Li Su from top to bottom.

That look was not piercing, and there was no contempt, as if she was just casually looking at someone who had walked into the wrong place, unusually calm.

And this calmness made Li Su crazy. At this moment, she realized that Zhang Youqing had been merciful to her that day. She had never seen a more realistic drinking party before.

"Sister," the woman said meaningfully, "You called Brother Liu a noble man, but it's worth it. Mr. Liu is using his own face to teach you how to do things... You have to learn from him, remember it."

With just a few words, she showed how good she was at kung fu, and she turned Liu Jia's difficulty into kindness. It can be seen that she is good at dancing with long sleeves. In addition to being able to drink and take risks, she is also very good at steering.

Li Su's eyelids jumped, and she saw from the corner of her eye that the waiter was particularly sensible and quietly retreated, guarding the door to avoid being disturbed by anyone.
