Chapter 174: Encounter on High-speed Rail
The fifth day of the first lunar month!
In the business class of the high-speed train.
“Isn’t there an empty seat?”
The glass door slid open and a girl's exclamation was heard.
"Xiaoyan, keep your voice down. I'm sleeping."
"I... flight attendant, there are seats here, why don't you let us upgrade? It's not like we won't pay."
"I'm sorry, but these seats are taken."
"There's no one here, there's only one person, there are still three seats, it's okay even if there's someone else at the next stop, we'll just get off at the next stop."
The attendant looked embarrassed. She had received instructions from the conductor that no more people could be accommodated in the business class. She could only say, "I don't have the authority to do that. Let me call the conductor for you."
Soon the conductor came over and after listening to the attendant's explanation, he explained, "You two, there really are no seats left."
"Conductor..."
"Xiaoyan, forget it." Another girl interrupted her companion, "Conductor, we can stand here, right?"
"Well...if you two don't have seats, I can arrange for you to go to other carriages. Standing is not allowed here."
There are no standing tickets on the high-speed rail, but for those who are in a hurry to catch the train, they can buy a platform ticket at the train station, and then ask the conductor to buy the ticket after getting on the train. This situation is very common, especially during the Spring Festival travel season. As long as you are on the train, the conductor will not kick you off.
These two people obviously got on the high-speed rail in this way.
"There are too many people in the other carriages. This..."
The girl named Xiaoyan looked at her tall companion who was wearing a hat and a mask with some concern. If she went to other carriages, Sister Xi would easily be recognized.
By then, some unscrupulous media will report for traffic that Sister Xi took the high-speed rail without buying a ticket, violating public order.
"If no one gets on the bus, these seats can be occupied."
A man's voice came from the business car. When the conductor heard this, he quickly responded, "Listen to Mr. Lin."
"You can go in after buying the tickets, but please don't talk loudly and disturb Mr. Lin's rest." The conductor gave a few serious instructions before leaving.
"Sister Xi, what's going on? This is the first time I've seen a conductor be so polite to a passenger."
Xu Yuxi listened to her assistant's words and looked at the chair curiously. However, because the business chairs were designed with their backs facing the door, she could not see the man's appearance.
But she was not as confused as her assistant Xiaoyan. From the attitude of the conductor, she knew that the person sitting there should be a person of extraordinary status, at least not a simple rich person.
"Keep your voice down for a while, there are some people we can't afford to mess with."
"What?" Xiaoyan exclaimed when she heard her sister Xi's words. Xu Yuxi rubbed his forehead, feeling helpless.
"I... I didn't mean it." Xiaoyan also knew that she was in trouble, and quickly covered her mouth with a panic-stricken expression on her face. She had followed Sister Xi for more than two years, and she also knew that there were some people in this world that they simply could not afford to offend.
"Sit quietly and stop talking."
Xu Yuxi sat down and took off the hat and mask on her head. Her long, smooth hair fluttered down. Without the mask covering it, her red lips, black hair and skin as white as cream were exposed. Her temperament was both pure and charming.
Under the white pleated skirt, it slid down towards the waist as the body lay down, revealing long, slender, white legs.
It is so beautiful that it cannot be described in words.
Xu Yuxi was lying in her seat, holding a tablet and reading the document sent to her by the program director. The reason why she got on the bus today without even buying a ticket was that she was rushing to participate in a program, a currently popular reality show.
Originally, it was not her turn to be on the show, but unfortunately a guest was injured and the crew was under a tight schedule for filming. The director posted a message in the circle, asking if there were any artists who could arrive within three hours. She happened to be in the next city, and if she could catch this high-speed train, she could still make it in three hours. So she contacted the director , and the director agreed to let her participate.
She would rather get on the bus first and buy the ticket later to rush to attend the show, not because the show is so good, but because for her, it is the only notice she can get recently.
There is no way. As a female star who debuted through a talent show, she is now being hidden by the company because she is unwilling to sign a harsh ten-year contract. The company will not give her any notices, so she has to take them on her own. However, with the company's connections and relationships, the company has informed all major programs, and all the program crews will not invite her to participate.
Three months ago, she had so many announcements that they were scheduled for the next month. But just three months later, she didn't have any announcements at all.
In the words of the company's general manager Zhang, "Xu Yuxi, although you have a good appearance, the entertainment industry is not short of beautiful women. Without exposure, it won't be long before your fans will follow new stars."
The company just wants to force her to compromise.
This time she is challenging the company. If participating in this program can increase the ratings, then other programs will see the cohesion of her fans and will start to invite her. By that time, the company will not be able to hide her.
The entertainment industry is the most realistic, and these program crews will not go against traffic.
"Quanzhou Station, we will arrive in ten minutes..."
The broadcast prompt of the high-speed train diverted Xu Yuxi's attention from the document. At the same time, there was finally movement in the seat in front. Xu Yuxi was also a little curious about what kind of person the train conductor was receiving so carefully.
"Wow, handsome guy!"
Behind her, Xiaoyan exclaimed. Xu Yuxi turned around and looked at her assistant. Although her assistant was a little rude, this boy was really handsome.
He is more handsome than any male star she has ever met.
Lin Ye looked at his infatuated assistant, and then saw Xu Yuxi, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. This woman... if he remembered correctly, she should be a female celebrity.
Because she had seen this person's photo on Chen Xi's mobile phone.
"Thank you for your intercession for us earlier, sir."
"No need, this seat is empty anyway, I just said it casually."
Lin Ye said it was okay, but he also knew that if he didn't ask , the conductor would not let the two in. He asked Zhong Shan to buy the tickets for him, and Zhong Shan must have informed the conductor.
"Sometimes, a casual remark from a person like you can be as good as a golden word."
Xu Yuxi hinted at something, but Lin Ye didn't respond. This woman is very smart.
"Sir, meeting is fate. My name is Xu Yuxi. May I know your name?"
"Lin Ye."
"Mr. Lin, thank you again."
Xu Yuxi stretched out her hand generously. Lin Ye looked at her, and they held hands. Xu Yuxi quickly withdrew her hand without any flirtatiousness, as if she was really just expressing her gratitude.
When the train arrived at the station, the conductor opened the door himself.
"Mr. Lin, take care."
The conductor watched Lin Ye walk out of the platform, and Xu Yuxi, now wearing a baseball cap and a mask, also quickly walked out of the platform.
…
…
"Brother, this way..."
When Lin Ye walked out of the exit, a girl waved at him. When he saw the girl, a smile appeared on Lin Ye's face.
"Tingting, why are you here?"
"My brother is on duty today, so I have to come. Bro, you are getting more and more handsome."
Lin Ting was also very happy looking at her cousin. Since her family moved to Quanzhou, she had not had much contact with her relatives in her hometown. She only chatted with Brother Lin Ye frequently on WeChat.
"Brother, it's still early, don't rush to go home."
After getting in the car, Lin Ye listened to his cousin's words and said with a smile: "Just tell me what you want to do. Anyway, if my uncle asks, I will definitely not hide it for you."
"Brother, this is boring. I was thinking that you must have never met a celebrity in real life. Today, a few celebrities came to our city to film a reality show. It's not far away. I'll take you there to have a look. It won't take up much time anyway."
"You're still a fan?" Lin Ye was a little curious. Given his uncle's strict personality, it shouldn't be possible for his cousin to be a fan.
"Hehe, I wasn't a fan of celebrities before, but Xixizi is so pretty. Do you know Juejuezi? Even a girl like me was moved when I saw her. Brother, let me tell you, you haven't seen Xixizi, otherwise you would definitely be fascinated by her."
"Stop!"
Lin Ye listened to his cousin talking a lot, but the key point was that she didn't even know who the star she was chasing after was.
It’s Juejuezi’s and Xixizi’s, what the hell is it?
"The entertainment industry is not as simple as you think..."
"Brother, here you go again. You're looking at things with the old perspective again. Modern society is different from before. The entertainment industry used to be dark because some media and other things were controlled by those entertainment companies. Now the Internet is so developed, and the higher-ups have been cracking down on the entertainment industry, so there aren't so many unspoken rules anymore."
Lin Ye chose to remain silent.
"Brother, that's what I said. I only found out that Xixizi came to Quanzhou today after reading her message. It's a pity that the company behind Xixizi wants to freeze Xixizi... Our Xixizi will never compromise or give up."
Lin Ting was talking as she drove, and soon the car drove to an amusement park. There were people gathered at the entrance of the amusement park, but they were all stopped outside by the security guards.
"The production crew is recording the show inside. We're waiting outside. Maybe we can see Xixizi."
Hearing his cousin's words, Lin Ye rolled his eyes. It turned out that what you called taking me to see the stars meant just waiting outside and watching them from a distance.
It is said on the Internet that girls who chase stars are the most humble, and this is not an exaggeration.
In such cold weather, standing outside just to see the star you chase from a distance is so humble.
Lin Ye shook his head and was thinking about leaving, when his eyes suddenly swept across the Ferris wheel at the highest point of the amusement park. His expression changed and he walked towards the gate of the amusement park.
"Brother, what are you doing? They won't let you in."
When Lin Ting saw what her cousin was doing, she tried to stop him. She said that these celebrities came to the amusement park to film a show and that the amusement park had spent money to invite them for publicity, so it was not open to the public today.
"Don't worry, my sister wants to chase stars, and as a brother, I will definitely satisfy your request. I will take you in later."
Lin Ye picked up his phone and called Zhong Shan. When Lin Ting heard this, she not only didn't believe it, but muttered, "Brother, you must be kidding me. My brother is also on duty nearby. I begged him for a long time to see if he could let me in, but he didn't agree."
"Don't believe me, then don't follow me in."
"It sounds like the truth." Lin Ting was a little unsure and simply stopped talking.
In just five minutes, Lin Ting saw a staff member with a work badge running towards her in a hurry.
"Is that Mr. Lin?"
"Um."
"Mr. Lin, please follow me in."
Seeing the staff leading her cousin into the gate, Lin Ting was dumbfounded. He could actually go in.
"Why, you're not coming in?"
Lin Ye walked into the gate and looked back at his cousin who was still a little dazed. Lin Ting woke up from her dream and immediately shouted, "Come in, I'm coming in, brother, I love you so much."
The staff member looked at Lin Ting, who was obviously here to chase stars, but did not stop her. He had just received a call from his leader and went to the door to greet a man named Mr. Lin into the amusement park, and he would unconditionally agree to any request made by this man.
The most important thing is that he heard from the leader's words that it seemed that the leader did not know the origin of Mr. Lin, and that the order was given to the leader by a higher-level leader.
After entering the amusement park, Lin Ye went straight to the Ferris wheel, but Lin Ting was very excited because she had already seen the star she was chasing after.
Xu Yuxi is currently putting on makeup. The recording of the reality show takes a long time, so the artists have to put on makeup almost every hour. Especially since this time it is recorded in an amusement park, she has just ridden the roller coaster twice and the makeup on her face is almost gone.
"Sister Xi, look... look over there, isn't this the handsome guy we met in the car?"
Xu Yuxi listened to the assistant's reminder and looked in the direction of the assistant's finger. Sure enough, she saw the person she had met on the high-speed train before.
"Sister Xi, this guy is not here to chase us, right? It turns out that his cool attitude on the high-speed train was just an act."
"Don't talk nonsense."
Although Xu Yuxi was confident in her charm, she didn't think that this man would chase her here on purpose. After hesitating for a moment, she still walked over there.
"Mr. Lin."
Lin Ye actually noticed Xu Yuxi as well. Such a big beauty was walking towards him, and he was not playing the overbearing CEO who was too arrogant to see her. But before he could respond, he heard his cousin's scream beside him.
"Wow, Xixizi, you are so beautiful. I love you. I am so happy to be able to see Xixizi from such a close distance."
Lin Ting ran to Xu Yuxi excitedly. Xu Yuxi didn't react, so Lin Ye replied, "This is my cousin. She's your fan."
"I see ."
Xu Yuxi understood a little bit. Maybe this Mr. Lin came in because his cousin was a fan of a star.
"Thank you for the compliment. You are very beautiful too."
At this moment, when Lin Ting saw her favorite star , her brain was no longer able to think. She didn't even wonder how her cousin knew Xu Yuxi. She pulled Xu Yuxi and asked questions like a curious baby.
Seeing that his cousin looked like a three-year-old child, Lin Ye gave Xu Yuxi an apologetic look and continued to walk towards the Ferris wheel. Anyway, his cousin's mind was full of Xu Yuxi and she wouldn't care whether her cousin was still there or not.
This is good, it makes it easier for him to get things done.
