Rebirth after the college entrance examination

Chapter 123 Robbed Again
Zuo You is not stupid. Although she has never seen a real diamond since she was a child, she can still analyze from many details that the bracelet is real.

Details refer to the details of Xia An's speech.

Eight hundred thousand, just deposit it into the card.

Then I thought about what he said when he gave me the bracelet on the street that day.

The token of love gift may not be valuable but you should still keep it well.

It seems very serious.

When Zuo You called him that day, she wanted to get some information out of him and hear his reaction.

no response.

She was very nervous.

I checked online for prices of similar styles.

There are amounts ranging from one hundred thousand, two hundred thousand, to five hundred thousand.

Zuo You was very sad.

Even if it was only a thousand, she would still feel distressed.

What's more, there is added value.

Later, Zuo You began to pay attention to the girl who lived in the same room with him.

She was convinced she wouldn't lose it.

She was reluctant to wear it when she was rehearsing dance and needed to do the movements.

It could only have been stolen.

There was nothing unusual about the girl, but her boyfriend seemed to have become rich.

I have bought her cosmetics, new clothes, and good food and drinks recently.

For two days, I shamelessly boasted to Zuo You that I did it in a five-star hotel, in the bathtub by the window.

This girl has a very carefree personality. As soon as she met Zuo You, she enthusiastically introduced herself.

Zuo You knew early on that her boyfriend didn't have a proper job. They were classmates in a technical secondary school. After his girlfriend signed with an agency, her boyfriend stayed with her.

Zuo You asked the girl where her boyfriend got the money.

The girl fiddled with her new cell phone and said that she studied computers and earned some money assembling machines for an Internet cafe.

Zuo You didn't believe it.

Three days ago, after rehearsal, the girl’s boyfriend came to the hotel again.

He brought a lot of delicious food and even brought a lot for Zuo You.

There was an intention to please Zuo You in his words.

When the girl went to the bathroom, her boyfriend actually asked Zuo You for her contact information.

It means that when we go out, we should take care of each other.

Zuo You could tell what he was really thinking from his lustful expression.

She directly asked the other party if he had stolen her bracelet.

I spoke in a low voice to save his face.

She also said that the bracelet meant a lot to her, and she would pay to redeem it as long as the other party was willing to tell her where it was sold.

This is naive.

Of course the boy denied it.

Zuo You got angry and argued with him.

After the girl came out of the bathroom, she found out what happened and naturally joined her boyfriend in scolding Zuo You for slandering her.

Zuo You was at a loss and without caring about anything else, he called the police directly.

Arrest people and get dirty.

There is no way to convict someone of theft without real evidence.

And without an invoice or receipt, even Zuo You herself couldn't tell the actual value of the bracelet.

When I arrived at the police station, I only described the situation based on my guesses.

It is normal to be accused of false accusations by the other party.

After suffering one loss, there is still a second one.

The two girls are from the same company and are both managed by the same agent.

The female agent came to pick someone up angrily. The older sister who had always been very kind started by scolding Zuo You, asking if she was crazy.

Said she didn't have any artist qualities at all.

In this circle, as long as it doesn’t involve murder or arson, tell the company team in advance about anything.

Should I call the police directly or call the police without any evidence?

Scolding Zuo You for not knowing the rules means that no matter how pretty she is, it will be difficult for her to get ahead.

"There are so many good-looking people in this circle."

The girl told her agent that Zuo You just wanted to seduce her boyfriend, and after being rejected, she became angry and humiliated him and slandered him.

The matter was discovered by the Golden Eagle Awards program team, and the two newcomers, who had almost no background, were decisively removed from the dance group list.

This is Shonan TV, are we short of dancers?

Zuo You felt so wronged that she wanted to cry, but there was nothing she could do.

After returning to the hotel, it is naturally impossible to stay in the same room again.

The agency no longer pays for Zuo You’s housing expenses.

Little Youzi packed up her things silently, not knowing where to go or what to do.

After a while, the girl and her boyfriend came back.

In front of Zuo You, the boy gave his girlfriend 10,000 yuan and asked her to ask the agent for help. If one job was lost, he would arrange another one.

The girl kissed her boyfriend happily and said he was so nice.

After the girl left, her boyfriend sat lazily on the edge of the bed and said to Zuo You, "I advise you to keep anything so conspicuous safe if you ever have it again."

Zuo You looked at him deeply, this was a confession.

The boy said indifferently: "Eighty thousand, I'll help you find an identical one."

Zuo You was stunned for a few seconds, then sighed and shook his head.

He also wants to earn some money out of 80,000.

In other words, the bracelet was sold for only 60,000 to 70,000 yuan.

If things hadn't gotten out of hand, Zuo You believed he would definitely pay the 80,000.

Buy back the four words "engagement gift".

Now her stubborn temper came out and she didn't want it anymore.

Without saying a word, he took his suitcase and left.

I went upstairs, locked myself in the room, and looked at the huge star city outside the window.

Star City, a city where many stars made their debut.

Zuo You pouted, hugged her knees and stared blankly.

The next day, I received a call from Maggie Cheung.

At first Zuo You thought she had heard it wrong.

It was not until he saw the real me that he smiled for the first time in two days.

Maggie Cheung took the initiative to invite Zuo You to dinner, and before leaving the lobby, she happened to meet Zuo You's agent.

The agent left a sarcastic message to Zuo You, checked out and took the girl back to Yanjing.

The agency is in Yanjing.

"I told my boss about this, and he's very angry. You might not be scheduled for announcements again."

Maggie Cheung watched from the sidelines. As a smart woman, she chose not to speak carelessly before understanding the whole story.

Zuo You knew very well that she was going to be put on ice.

Smile bitterly.

It's not considered as being hidden, right?
The word "sheltered" is only used by famous people.

I don't have any fame at all.

After forcing a smile and having a meal with the old senior, Zuo You returned to the hotel.

She felt disheartened for a moment and decided to digest the negative emotions here before going home to help her parents. She wanted to contact Xia An, but she didn't want to contact Xia An either.

She missed Xia An especially.

If Xia An came, he would definitely hug her first, kiss her and touch her, then say with a nonchalant "hmm" and a smile, "Is that all?"

Zuo You could even imagine his lazy expression and tone.
-
"Huh."

Xia Yan hissed because of the spicy taste of the greedy frog.

He drank a sip of draft beer, touched Zuo You's little head, and pinched her aggrieved little face: "Is that all?"

It was exactly the same as what she had imagined the night before. Zuo You finally burst out laughing, pinched Xia An's arm, and shyly glanced at Maggie Cheung across the table.

"Don't say such nonsense. Miss Zhang is here."

Xia An hosted Maggie Cheung at Binhai on behalf of a friend, which was what Maggie Cheung had told Zuo You before.

She didn't say who it was for, and she didn't ask.

I guess it’s for a friend at work.

The little brat is going to school and becoming a big boss at the same time.

Seeing Xia An flying towards her without stopping after hearing the news, Zuo You almost cried out loud, but it was all in the past. Now that her little man was here, nothing else mattered.

In the future, it would be nice to go home and run the shop for my parents, wouldn’t that be nice?

Two hours ago, the first second Xia An hugged her, Zuo You instantly figured it out.

Then, without saying a word or asking for details, he carried her to the bed.

After a while, my mind and body felt unblocked.

She was comfortably and delicately pulled out by him to meet the guests for dinner.

He looked at Xia An with a smile on his face, his heart full of relief and happiness.

Maggie Cheung is not stupid. The first time she met Zuo You, she guessed her relationship with Mr. Xia.

He knows exactly what to say and what not to say.

Since she can’t eat spicy food, Maggie Cheung had water tofu pudding and stir-fried lettuce in front of her.

While watching the young couple opposite her feasting on their food, she kept smiling indifferently while drinking tea.

"I've already told Miss Zuo that I can introduce her to two crews. One is in preparation in Hong Kong, and the other is just outside Star City, set to start filming in two days.

Although they are not big productions, they should all be broadcast next year.

The Hong Kong film is produced by TVB. I heard from the director that it has been pre-sold to three TV stations in mainland China.

The lead actor is Wayne, and I have a good relationship with him, so I can look after him when I join the crew."

Xia An was truly overwhelmed by the spiciness, and she guzzled three more cups of cold tea before thanking Maggie Cheung. She then looked at Xiao Youzi and said with a smile, "How's it going? Sister Maggie has thought so carefully about this for you. Are you interested?"

Calling her Sister Maggie was Xia An's heartfelt thanks to Maggie Cheung for her concern for Xiao Youzi's affairs.

Wayne is Lai Yiu-cheung, a face that is still remembered by the public.

But this guy became famous and won awards for his supporting roles, so if he starred in a film, it would definitely not be a big production.

Zhang Keyi's current energy is evident.

Zuo You didn't feel comfortable bothering others, so she simply said, "I don't have the right to accept announcements on my own. My agency has a very bad impression of me right now, so they definitely won't agree."

Maggie Cheung drank her tea with a smile, said no more, and looked at Xia An with the teacup in hand.

Xia An smoothed Zuo You's hair with undisguised affection and said with a smile, "Just terminate the contract."

Zuo You rolled his eyes at him and said, "Three million."

Xia An shook his head and said, "A contract is a contract, and a favor is a favor. You're not famous, so there's room for negotiation. If you don't believe me, ask Sister Maggie."

Maggie Cheung nodded and said, "Many companies in the industry make money by signing new people. If one survives, it doesn't matter if ninety-nine break the contract. The rest just make money from the liquidated damages."

Xia An laughed as he listened, and Maggie Cheung knew what he meant.

"After I separated from Miss Zuo last night, I went back and asked around. Coincidentally, I was able to contact the boss of her agency through a friend."

Favors should be given just right.

If Xia An didn't speak, she wouldn't speak for herself.

Only after Xia An started talking did she have something to say.

In this way, both parties are comfortable.

Without waiting for Zuo You to speak, Xia An went straight to Maggie Cheung and said, "Then please give Maggie a heads up. If we can negotiate, then we can. If not, then we can't. Anyway, I'm done with this appointment."

Maggie Cheung nodded with a smile, and without even asking Zuo You's opinion, she picked up the phone and went outside to make a call.

Zuo You bit her lip and asked Xia An, "You still have three million?"

Xia An smiled and asked, "Don't you believe you can earn back three million?"

Zuo You was speechless. After being with Xia An, she found that the little brat was becoming more and more powerful.

She was so powerful that she didn't even have to think about anything important.

It was true that she felt very safe, but it also made her more curious about what Xia An was doing outside.

Three million without blinking an eye?

"That bracelet..." Zuo You frowned and asked him, "How much is it?"

Xia An stuffed a freshly peeled lobster tail into her mouth and said with a smile, "22."

"Oh." Zuo You sighed again.

Others debuted to make money, but I haven't been on stage once since the Taoli Cup, and I've wasted hundreds of thousands of dollars.

She pouted and said dejectedly, "If the termination fee is over 500,000, then forget it. I plan to go home and help out at home for a while. After I get my degree, it would be nice to find a job as a teacher."

Xia An laughed out loud at her little appearance.

He pinched her nose and said, "Don't worry, the bracelet won't be taken away in vain. I'll let out all my anger."

Maggie Cheung came back but didn't hang up the phone. She handed it to Xia An and said, "It's Boss Zhang. I think you can talk to him directly."

Xia An nodded, wiped his hands, took it, nodded his chin at Zuo You, and left.

Maggie Cheung smiled at Zuo You, whose worried expression remained, and said, "If you choose this path, you don't necessarily need to be signed to an agency. As far as I know, many artists take on roles on their own, and once they become famous, it's fine for them to open a studio and manage their own affairs."

Xiao Youzi held the teacup in both hands and said, "No matter what, I have to thank Miss Zhang."

Maggie Cheung raised her cup with a smile on her face and added, "I can see that Mr. Ha dotes on you very much, and I can see that you really want to pursue a career in the entertainment industry... I believe Mr. Ha will take care of these small matters. There will definitely be many opportunities for us to work together in the future. Just call me Maggie."

Within a few minutes, Xia An hung up the phone and came back.

He laughed out loud and said, "You're such a good man. Come on, wife, let's toast to Sister Maggie together."

He didn't say how much the final reduction in the contract fee was, and Maggie Cheung certainly wouldn't ask.

Zuo You was anxious, but knew that this was a family matter, so he could only go back and ask again.

"Come, second cup, I wish my grapefruit a bright and unobstructed star map from now on."

……

Three hundred thousand.

Only three hundred thousand.

Zuo You was extremely surprised.

Xia An lay in bed and said casually, "This world is very small, and connections often represent money. Although contracts symbolize the spirit of contract in the business world, in the eyes of those who draft them, contracts are just pieces of paper."

Zuo You sat beside him and let Xia An touch her hair.

Surprised and lost in thought.

Looking at Xia An deeply, I wondered if the person in front of me was really the little brat who had been chasing after me and wiping his nose since he was a child?

"Don't let your imagination run wild. Miss Zhang hasn't been feeling well lately, and she doesn't have a dedicated agent. For the next two days, you can walk around backstage with her. Not only will it be a favor, but it'll also give her some familiarity."

Xia An sat up, held her shoulders and said with a smile: "Since you plan to take this path, I will pave it for you. Don't worry about anything, don't be afraid, just remember one thing: you will see me when you turn around."

……

The next morning, Zuo You, carrying a small bag, walked back into the Mango Building with Maggie Cheung.

Xia An leisurely ate some rice noodles on the street and went to the jewelry city.

Two hours later, he walked to the police station with his hands in his pockets.

The reason for reporting the case was that I was robbed.

The necklace I just bought was stolen.

The receipt, the receipt, and the photo of the necklace are all there.

One hundred and thirty-eight thousand yuan.
