Chapter 9 8. Winter without Snow

It's the middle of winter, and there's still no snow, but it's cold.Zhang Qingran still didn't go home during the lunch break. He ate lunch in the office cafeteria and then leaned on the sofa in the office to read the newspaper.After flipping through the newspaper for a while, I found it boring, so I became lazy and tired.Dozing off is not allowed, it is too cold, and the heater of this mechanism will never be listless. With nothing to do, I took a magazine and browsed at will.An article about an extramarital affair knocked him out of sleep.According to this article, relevant experts conducted a survey in the United States and found that 40% of female employees admitted that they had fallen in love with male colleagues, and believed that the noon break could be used for falling in love.

The company of Zhang Qingran's lover Liu Yi is also far away from home, and she does not go home at noon.He became irritable for no reason, and wanted to call, but he was afraid that her colleagues would make fun of her.After hesitating for a while, I still called.But no one answered.How could there be no one?There are people playing mahjong at her place at noon. I wonder if Liu Yi has something to go back?He called home.It took a long time to hear my cousin Mai Na answer the phone, saying that my sister hadn't come back.Mina's voice was sticky, she must still be sleeping.He said it was nothing, and told Mina not to sleep too long, and to get some food for herself.

After putting down the phone, Zhang Qingran became even more uneasy.He found his uneasiness ridiculous.Knowing this, he was still uneasy, so he pushed his bicycle downstairs, wanting to visit Liu Yi's company.It was windy outside, and there was a drizzle of rain, which made him shiver with cold. But halfway, he turned back again.Nothing happened, what are you running to do?Others are really going to laugh.It's getting late, and it takes at least an hour to go back and forth, and I will be late for work in the afternoon. As soon as the working hours arrived in the afternoon, he immediately called Liu Yi.Still no one answered.After calling several times, I only heard a long beep.Zhang Qingran was a little nervous, and his head was full of weird thoughts.

Director Li, who was sitting opposite, saw something, and said with a smile, has his wife been abducted?I said my wife should not look for one that is too beautiful. Zhang Qingran pretended to be magnanimous, talking about everything, wishing that someone would abduct her, and I would be happy to be liberated.She said that she would go to look at the washing machine at noon and call me if she liked it.Why don't you call me? Oh, is that so?Is your washing machine about to be replaced? Zhang Qingran was perfunctory, yes, domestic ones are still not acceptable. On this topic, the two discussed the quality of domestic products, and soon got off work.

Back home, I saw Mai Na taking his son Kiki building blocks.Qiqi called her father and went to play by herself again.Where's mom?Zhang Qingran asked.Qiqi has been engrossed and no longer looks up.Mina said that sister has not come back yet. Zhang Qingran went to the kitchen to see that Mai Na had prepared the meals. After 6:30, Liu Yi still did not come back.Zhang Qingran said, Mina, can you make it in time?You eat first. Mina just said it was fine, when someone called her.Mina called back.It was Mina and her fashion model team partner Fox who called.The fox asked her to look for the cat.

Mina wrapped herself in a fur coat and said to go downstairs and say hello.Zhang Qingran told her to plan at home, it was such a cold day.Mina said it was all right and went out.She never paged at home, saying that she didn't want any outsiders to know her home phone number. It was a while before Mina came back.Zhang Qingran saw that her expression was wrong, and asked what's wrong?Mina said the cat was gone.The fox called her all day today, but didn't see her call back.I called a few times just now, but she didn't reply. It will be fine.Zhang Qingran looked up at Mina. Mina stood with her back against the door, feeling restless, and said that it was fine.Mai Na is 1.78 meters tall, a head taller than Zhang Qingran.Mina and her model team consist of six girls, besides Mina, Fox, and Cat, there are also Eagle, Water Snake, and Acacia Bean.Zhang Qingran had never seen them before, only occasionally heard about them from Mai Na, they were so beautiful.Mina's real name is Mai Juying, so she must have a nickname, but Zhang Qingran doesn't know it.

Mina said, I will not eat.The cat is gone, we have to meet sooner, and the mix is ​​changing.Then I went into the bedroom to make up.After a while, a cold and lonely beauty came out. Zhang Qingran almost gasped.Mina, why are you so cold when you put on makeup? Yeah?Mina smiled softly.But this smile was as sad as a afterglow. Be careful and come back early.Zhang Qingran ordered. Mina responded and went out with her outfit. After a while, Liu Yi came back.As soon as she entered the door, she looked up at the quartz clock on the wall and said, she was late. Zhang Qingran kept silent and went into the kitchen to heat up the food.

Liu Yi hugged her son and said, Qingran, it will take a while for you to heat up the food, so I might as well take a shower. Zhang Qingran ignored him and only cared about himself. The food was ready, and Liu Yi was still taking a shower.In such a cold day, why do you think of taking a bath when you enter the house?After Liu Yi took a shower, she slowly put the dirty clothes into the washing machine. Zhang Qingran was very upset, and yelled heavily that the food would become pig food if it was reheated again. All right, here we come.Are you so annoyed at coming back late? Zhang Qingran pointed to the quartz clock and said, is it a little late?

Liu Yi didn't talk anymore, she filled the rice and started to eat.Qiqi looked at her parents and dared not speak.After a meal, I ate dully.Only the washing machine is rattling.Zhang Qingran remembered impromptu lying with Director Li in the afternoon, talking about buying a washing machine, it was really funny.He was so poor that he said he wanted to buy an imported washing machine. After eating, Liu Yi cleaned up the dishes.Before she finished her work, Qiqi had already dozed off on the sofa.Zhang Qingran was angry and didn't bother to take care of it.When Liu Yi saw her, she wiped off the oil on her hands, poured water to wash Qiqi's face, and carried her to bed to sleep.

After Liu Yi finished her work in the kitchen, she poured hot water for the man.Zhang Qingran didn't appreciate it, and sat there motionless.Liu Yi acted tenderly.What's the matter, what's wrong with you? If this continues, I will become nervous even if I am not nervous.Zhang Qing became a high-pitched voice. What's the matter, what's the matter with me.Liu Yi was still gentle. I haven't seen anyone since noon, what are you doing? Liu Yi froze for a moment, then stood up abruptly.Okay, okay, when you lose your nerve, you think the worst about me.What did I do?I didn't go to class, I went to sleep with others!Are you comfortable now?

Zhang Qingran patted the sofa angrily, exclaiming, it's comfortable!It's very comfortable. Isn't dark green popular this winter? People wear dark green leather jackets and dark green suits. I happen to have no money, so I just need a green hat. Liu Yi sneered and said, okay, that's fine, you like cuckolds so much, I'll have someone wholesale a dozen for you! Zhang Qingran went back to bed without washing her face.After Liu Yi washed up by herself, feeling sorry for herself, she still wrung out the towel and went to the bedroom to wipe the man's face.But I said angry words on purpose, don't stain my quilt.Zhang Qingran was dead, let Liu Yi play with her, but her heart softened. Liu Yi first slept with her back against the man, and after a while, she turned around and put her arms around the man.You, in a few days you will get nervous again, and you won't ask any questions.Think of me as bad and make you feel better?Section Chief Wu asked me to accompany her to buy clothes, why should I not go?She is also a picky person, and she only picks one after shopping in all the shopping malls in the city. Liu Yi explained the process in detail.After speaking, she felt aggrieved again, and said, if you don't believe me, call her now, it's no wonder people don't laugh at you for being petty! Zhang Qingran didn't say whether he believed it or not, he just said, no wonder your company has been losing money year after year.The chief of finance and accounting and the accountant can go to the mall without going to work all day.It's no wonder! Liu Yi didn't take it seriously, and said, this is not something I, a little accountant, care about. Zhang Qingran didn't care about this topic anymore, and just said, you have to make a phone call when you have something to do. Don't steal the concept.You are angry not because I don't call, but because you suspect what's wrong with me.Liu Yi said. Zhang Qingran was familiar with Liu Yi's cleverness, but still said that it was wrong for you not to call.I'm not worried if you don't come back for a long time?How safe is it outside now? Liu Yi said, stop being hypocritical.Are you really worried that I will be hit by a car and robbed by bad guys?You're just worried that I'm cheating on Hong Xing.I don't know how many bends your intestines have? I said I was worried about your accident, but you didn't believe me.Don't you know that I love you?When Zhang Qingran said this, his chest really hurt for a while. Liu Yi hugged the man tenderly.She knew that the man was suspicious of herself, but she didn't want to argue anymore.And no longer feel wronged.Men love themselves very much, she firmly believes.Liu Yi pressed her face to the man, said some sweet words that were very homely between husband and wife, and gradually fell asleep. But Zhang Qingran couldn't sleep. The love between himself and his wife became stronger with time, but everything is changing now. Liu Yi's work unit is not profitable, and his monthly salary is more than 400 yuan. His monthly income is only so much. Life is not easy.Liu Yi said several times, asking him to think of a way to find another unit for her.He just said don't rush, take your time.In fact, he has another hidden worry, which is inconvenient to say.He didn't want Liu Yi to go to a company with good profits.Those big and small bosses with bulging pockets are all playful, and everyone has mistresses.It is said that Hong Yu, the president of Hongji Group, changes mistresses more often than changing clothes.This Hong Yu is almost fifty years old, he is called Young Master Hong, and no one can tell his background.Thinking of this, Zhang Qingran held his breath.Liu Yi's company is poorer, but the managers are honest.Perhaps because of honesty, business is not doing well.Forget it, use less if you have less money, just to be safe.Nowadays, when a man has money, he becomes bad, and when a woman becomes bad, she becomes rich. Zhang Qingran had just fallen asleep when he heard someone open the door.It could be that Mina is back.The door couldn't be opened for a long time, someone must have accidentally locked the door.It was inconvenient for him to get up, so he woke Liu Yi up. Liu Yi got out of bed in a daze, put on a towel and went to open the door.He didn't come back for a long time, and whispered something to Mina in the living room. Liu Yi climbed onto the bed, her whole body was icy cold, shivering non-stop. Zhang Qingran hugged the woman tightly and said, it's so cold, why can't I talk about it tomorrow? Liu Yi banged her teeth and said, Mai Na said that the cat had disappeared, something must have happened, it was so scary. Zhang Qingran said, what will happen?He must have enjoyed a good time with some big boss.These women were originally jumping up and down on the palms of men. Liu Yi suppressed her voice and blamed, you lack sympathy too much.Why do you always think bad about women?The more beautiful a woman is, the more you think about the worst.Since ancient times, women have always been weak. weak?We have always said that prostitutes are the product of an exploitative system, who is exploiting whom now?I said that some women are born cheap! Liu Yi was really angry.Well, you've always been suspicious of me, and you're the same with my cousin now.Alright, Zhang Qingran, I'll show you someday! Zhang Qingran knew he had said something wrong, so he hurriedly apologized.Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about Mina.Mina is a good girl and will take care of herself. Liu Yi ignored him, closed her eyes, and couldn't let go of her anger for a while. When Zhang Qingran returned home, Liu Yi had already returned.He wiped his face and ate his supper, when suddenly he remembered about the cat and asked Mina.Mina lowered her head and said, there is no news yet. what is going on actually?Liu Yi was worried and stayed for a while holding the bowl. After everyone finished their meal in a deserted manner, Mai Na scrambled to wash the dishes.After finishing the work, I immediately went into the room to put on makeup.After putting on makeup, she came out and sat down next to Liu Yi, not wanting to leave right away.Anna's appearance made Zhang Qingran feel chilly, it was really a suffocating beauty. Mina, can you stop being a model?Find something else to do.Zhang Qingran said. Liu Yi held Mai Na's hand, which also meant the same thing.Yes, what a worry! Mina's nostrils trembled slightly, clearly suppressing her melancholy.If I don't do this, what am I going to do?You are the only ones who love me in this world, just for this, I will take good care of myself. Zhang Qingran didn't know what to say to the woman for a while.The wind was howling outside, and the windows were making weird noises. As soon as Mai Na left, Liu Yi burst into tears.Mina is too miserable, lonely, and has been with me since she was twelve or thirteen years old.After finally getting her to recruit a worker, the factory failed again.They have been out of production for over a year now. Zhang Qingran thought for a while and said, I'm afraid it will be almost two years.She is a bit lucky, if she is not such a good cousin like you, she will not live on the street? After chatting for a while, Liu Yi suddenly remembered to buy a Goldlion belt buckle for the man, and took it out.She found the man's belt buckle rusty yesterday. Zhang Qingran was grateful for the woman's care, and sighed for his own pity.Now some people have become richer and wear famous brands.Not many state cadres got richer, but they all became aristocratic, and they became dwarfs if they didn't wear famous brands.He wondered, thinking that these people's salaries are not much higher than his own, how can they get so much money to spend on famous brands, and gray income is not something that all cadres can earn. It wasn't until Liu Yi bought him a pair of old man's leather shoes for 150 yuan that he opened his eyes.The exact same leather shoes are priced at more than 600 yuan in a big shopping mall.He really didn't want to pretend to be a rich man like this, but now he just looks down on people.When he went to the office wearing a fake old man's head, his colleagues joked about him, saying that Mr. Zhang had finally stepped up and that the shoes were good.But your belt really needs to be changed, like a master electrician.He said that the working class is the leading class.He said so in his mouth, but he thought in his heart that these people somehow talked about his rusticity behind his back.One day, he stumbled upon a stall full of fake buckles for famous-brand belts, each costing two yuan and fifty cents.He immediately bought a Goldlion.Then I spent 30 yuan to buy an ordinary leather belt in the mall.With such a combination, he also has a goldlion belt around his waist.When my colleagues saw it, they couldn't help but comment again, saying it was good.But it was fake after all, and the belt buckle would rust within a few months, so he kept replacing it, which was cheap anyway. Zhang Qingran was packaged with fake brand names all year round.He thinks that most of his colleagues are the same as himself. Sometimes when he sees the pretentiousness of people in the officialdom, he feels that the fake name tags on them have wonderful symbolic meanings. Pretentious fakes one by one! Liu Yi asked the man to try a new belt buckle.Zhang Qingran wanted to follow the woman's wishes, so she looked very happy, and immediately took off the belt. Liu Yi was probably used to the fakes on men, and couldn't feel the humor and helplessness in them, so she just said that they were very good. Zhang Qingran could only say that it was very good, indeed very good. Liu Yi watched the man put on his belt proudly, and said, men wear brands, women wear styles. Zhang Qingran listened to the woman's meaning, as if she really regarded her man's outfit as a famous brand.But I thought in my heart that now women's clothes are actually more famous brands, and the prices are often ridiculously expensive.Those business people know that for every beautiful woman there is a stupid man or a group of stupid men.Zhang Qingran himself didn't want to talk about this, so as not to embarrass himself. Qiqi sneezed, and Liu Yi immediately picked up her son and said, did Qiqi catch a cold?Why does it get colder the more you sit? Zhang Qingran also felt a chill down his chest.He got up and touched the electric heater, it was icy cold.He asked Liu Yi to take his son to bed first, and he came to fix this broken thing.This electric heater has been used for three years, and he has to repair it several times a year, and he is almost an expert. But this time Zhang Qingran worked on it for a long time, but he couldn't fix it no matter what.After being busy for a while, I was very irritable, and picked up the removed originals into the corner with three feet and two feet.Liu Yi heard the commotion here, so she asked what are you doing?Zhang Qingran didn't respond either.After going to bed, he looked very unhappy.Liu Yi said, why are you crazy again? Zhang Qingran said that the electric heater couldn't be repaired and had to buy a new one. Liu Yi remained silent for a long time, and then said after a long time that the price of electric heaters is also one year, and this year it will cost more than 500 yuan. Zhang Qingran became angry and said, why are we so poor?I work hard and be worthy of the society. My poverty is not my own responsibility! Seeing that the man was really angry, Liu Yi became gentle.Okay, stop talking crazy, how does this sound like what you said?She also knew that what the man said was just angry words. Zhang Qingran was still not calm.The outdoor street lamps project the bare sycamore branches onto the curtains, showing their teeth and claws. Liu Yi turned on the bedside lamp, Zhang Qingran narrowed her eyes, and saw the woman's face like a peach blossom under the pink light.The woman has a charming face, trying to make the man feel better.Don't think so much, just be happy.While comforting, he gently stroked the man.Zhang Qingran let out a long sigh of relief and closed his eyes.The world shrank immediately, so small that there was only this warm bed. Zhang Qingran propped himself up and looked at the woman.The woman's eyes were dazed, and her body was wriggling slightly, as if it was slowly melting and melting, and it would soon turn into a puddle of gentle water.This is a feeling he is very familiar with, and he knows that this puddle of water will float him away completely, and float out of the sky. At this moment, Liu Yi opened her mouth halfway, humming softly. Zhang Qingran suddenly woke up like a startled dream.Women have never done this before, what's going on? Liu Yi seemed to sense something, her eyes became clearer, and she asked, what's wrong? Zhang Qingran stopped and asked, how did you make this move? Liu Yi opened her eyes wide, let go of her hands, and her whole body went limp.Zhang Qingran also lost interest, so he had to give up halfway.The two lay back to back without making a sound.For a long time, Liu Yi cried, you are always like this, who can stand it?Don't even think about it, I'm almost thirty years old, who wants me? Zhang Qingran said, is that right?What if someone wants you? How can there be so many ifs?Liu Yi was even more annoyed. Zhang Qingran didn't care whether women could bear it or not, and said, now there is a rhetoric that at thirty winds, forty waves, at fifty are on the top of the waves, at sixty there are still waves hitting the waves.You are in your prime! That's about you men!Only men like three wives and four concubines, like old cows eating tender grass! Women are different?Once a woman loses restraint like a man, she will also enjoy pleasure. Look at Wu Zetian and the Queen Mother! Liu Yi sat up naked and said, what does Empress Wu Zetian have to do with me?All I know is that I, Liu Yi, don't steal people to raise a man! After a while, Liu Yi was shivering from the cold.Zhang Qingran became pitiful, hugged the woman and told her to lie down.The woman refused to lie down, saying that she would freeze to death.Zhang Qingran had no choice but to admit his mistake and beg for forgiveness, and finally let Liu Yi lie down, the two fought again for some reason, but they didn't win anything.Eventually both were exhausted and fell into a deep sleep. The next morning, Mai Na called Zhang Qingran, saying that she had already bought an electric heater, and told him not to buy too much.Zhang Qingran felt a little sorry, and blamed Mai Na for not paying for it herself.It's up to her to save some money herself.Mina just said it was all right. Zhang Qingran called Liu Yi immediately.Liu Yi said that Mai Na was also true, why didn't she say anything beforehand?In fact, when they both went to work in the morning, they both thought about this matter, but both of them were holding their breath, and neither of them wanted to discuss it first. As soon as Zhang Qingran came home and opened the door, Qiqi flew over.Holding my son, I feel that the home is very warm.He looked at the electric heater and found that it was an imported product, so he said it cost a lot of money. Mina said that the ones from Italy only cost more than 1,000 yuan. Liu Yi smiled and said that Mai Na has become a rich woman, and her tone is different when it comes to money. Mina said, sister, don't laugh at me.I earn one and use one, leaving no way out. Zhang Qingran felt uncomfortable when he heard this. Looking at the woman, she also frowned. After dinner, Mina hurriedly cleaned up for a while, and went out again.After Zhang Qingran took a shower, he sat down and watched TV. Liu Yi glanced at the electric heater and said, it was warmer than our original one. Zhang Qingran replied, it's warmer. After a while, Liu Yi said again, should I turn it off and on again? Zhang Qingran understood the woman's mind now.She was afraid that this thing would be warmer, or that it would consume too much power.Seeing a woman like this, he said that the electric heater is often turned on and off, and it is not used.You can turn on the high gear first, and then adjust the middle and low gears when the room is warm.After speaking, he got up and turned down the electric heater. He was afraid that the woman would not feel at ease, and he had nothing to say, saying that the imported electric heater produced a lot of heat but saved electricity. At this time, a confession of an unnamed female corpse was broadcast on TV, saying that a female corpse was found by the river in the south of the city this afternoon. The deceased was about 1.75 meters tall and about 20 years old.Due to the severe damage to the face, it has been unrecognizable. Liu Yi was frightened and hurriedly hugged the man.She immediately thought of the cat, but dared not say it.Zhang Qingran saw her thoughts and comforted her, no, it's impossible.Liu Yi's hands trembled a little, she just said no, she was really worried for Mai Na.She suddenly felt very cold, and said that she should just sleep. Zhang Qingran was just about to take off his shirt when the phone rang.Zhang Qingran went over to pick it up. It turned out that Zhou Hao, his classmate who was doing business in Shenzhen, had returned and invited him to go out to play now. At the Blue Moon Nightclub, they were all classmates.Zhang Qingran said, do you have a concept of time?What time is it now?Not too early to contact.All right all right, come right now. Seeing that they were invited by their classmates, Liu Yi couldn't say anything, she just said to come back early, maybe it will snow soon. Zhang Qingran put on a shirt and went out with his neck shrunk. It didn't snow the next day, just dry and cold.The whole family sleeps late and eats breakfast late.Qiqi clamored to go out to play, but Liu Yi refused to obey him, saying that if you go alone, you will freeze to death.Zhang Qingran also coaxed for a while, and Qiqi became quiet. Mina didn't go out either, and everyone just sat and talked.Liu Yi asked Mai Na when she came back last night, and Mai Na said that she didn't look at her watch when she came back. Zhang Qingran said, you came back very late last night, and I got home at half past twelve.You hadn't come back then. Mina felt strange and asked, brother, why were you so late yesterday? I saw your fashion show for the first time last night.What a blue sky, blue sea, and white sandy beach, a beautiful girl is walking towards you step by step.This is the fashion show team that has taken the city by storm in recent years, the fantastic "White Fox Group"... real?Where did you read it?Mina asked. Liu Yi didn't wait for Zhang Qingran's answer, and wondered first, you don't know where to look? Mina laughed immediately and said, sister, you are really a layman.We play five shows every night, how do we know where he watched it? Zhang Qingran said, I watched it in Blue Moon. blue moon?That was our last scene.If I knew you were there, I would have come back with you last night. Zhang Qingran heard what Mina said, it seemed that something happened to her last night, so she asked, was there any trouble last night?Liu Yi was also uneasy.Yes, what's the matter?You came back too late last night.If something really happens, just talk about it.Your brother has a classmate in the police, let them take care of it. Mina snorted and said, don't talk about the police.If our sisters say that someone is bad, they will say that you are worse than the police.Zhang Qingran disapproved of Mai Na's attitude, saying that she was extreme in her view of things.Mina came up with a theory.She said that there may be good policemen, such as your classmates.But I've never met a good cop. Liu Yi became impatient, frowned and said, why are you arguing about this?Zhang Qingran didn't want to fight anymore.He knew he couldn't convince Mina.Changed the subject and talked about watching their fashion show last night.Mina, what do you call "White Fox Group"?Weird!The image of the fox is not good! Mina said, how can there be any good or bad now?Let's put it this way, we are right to reverse all the concepts of right and wrong that we have accepted since childhood.Otherwise, I can't figure it out, and it's strange if I'm not crazy.We have a sister named Hu Li, nicknamed Fox, so we named her.What is called a performance team is out of the ordinary, so it is called "White Fox Group", which is fresh.Now, ugly ones are popular among men, while evil ones are popular among women.Foxes happen to be naturally demonic.Don't see the names of some of us?All ghosts and monsters. Zhang Qingran didn't expect Mai Na to be so complicated at such a young age.Liu Yi also became worried, and said, Mai Na, it's such a worldly way, but you have to pay attention to yourself, and have a sense of proportion.Mina said half-truthfully, she is a monster, charming and harmful at the same time.We are all good monsters and never hurt good people. Zhang Qingran looked at the woman and felt something was wrong with Mai Na.Liu Yi asked, Mina, you don't seem normal, what's the matter?Mina said, no, don't worry. Zhang Qingran thought about Mina's expression, and said, don't worry about anything alone, you should discuss it with us.I can see that something is wrong with you. Mina closed her eyes for a while before saying, "They don't pretend to be human in front of us."The fox is probably still lying on his bed now! Zhang Qingran and his wife were startled and looked at each other.No one said anything.After a while, Zhang Qingran said, don't talk nonsense about such things, it is useless.Mina looked indifferent and said, I'm not in the mood to talk about this kind of thing, you guys are in a hurry today. Liu Yi said, brother told you not to talk nonsense, so that you don't get burned, you just need to do it yourself.Well, any news from you cats?Liu Yi didn't dare to mention last night's body identification notice.Mina replied, how can there be any news?No one is alive, no corpse is dead.Zhang Qingran couldn't help but let out a long sigh, wondering what's wrong with this world?Seeing that the woman deliberately avoided the body identification notice, he didn't say anything. Mina's pager rang.Once dialed, it was a harassing call.Mai Na flushed with anger, and cursed, you go back and start budding for your own sister, don't let the fat water fall into the field of outsiders!damn thing!Just when she was about to put down the phone, Mina froze and her face turned pale. Seeing this, Liu Yi was so frightened to death that she hurriedly asked what happened!Zhang Qingran also became nervous.Yes, tell me, is it a cat... Mina refused to say anything, just said it's okay, don't worry. The pager rang again.Mai Na jumped slightly, and hurriedly looked at the paging number, seeing that it belonged to a fox, she breathed a sigh of relief.Mai Na dialed the phone and was not very angry.You scream and scream and scream to death!Oh, not a cat?I ask you, who did you give my pager number to?Who are you?Let me tell you, from today onwards I don't need a pager, and I will make an appointment in advance if I have anything to do.After hanging up the phone, he immediately took out the pager from his handbag and died.As if I still didn't understand my hatred, I took off the battery again. Seeing Mina like this, Liu Yi didn't know how to comfort her, so she asked, what happened to the cat when you mentioned it just now?Mai Na said that a female corpse was found on the river beach in the south of the city that day. So we guessed... Today the fox and the others found out that it was a hostess of a hotel. That night, as soon as Mai Na went out, Zhang Qingran and his wife fell into indescribable fear.Liu Yi said, I am very scared today, is it an ominous sign?You have to find a way to find another job for Mina.She is in danger.Zhang Qingran was helpless.What can I do?No power in hand, no money in pocket, who is willing to help?Liu Yi glanced at him and said, you haven't had a good friend in all these years?Zhang Qingran smiled wryly, friend?Besides old friends, what new friends can we make now?There are only fewer and fewer friends. This is the basic experience that life has given me.Liu Yi looked relieved, and said that she could only watch Mina's destruction. Neither of them said to go to sleep, just sit like this.It was one o'clock in the morning, and Mina was still nowhere to be seen.Liu Yi became even more frightened and insisted that Zhang Qingran go out and look for it.Zhang Qingran was in a dilemma, and said, where can I find it in the middle of the night?Liu Yi didn't care too much, just shouted, well, you let Mai Na die outside. It was late at night, the voltage was high, and the lights were weirdly bright.Zhang Qingran lowered his head, feeling that the boundless darkness of the world was pressing towards the small house, and the doors and windows seemed to be about to burst. After sitting for a while, Zhang Qingran saw that the woman looked so pitiful, so she said, I'll walk around the street, you can sleep peacefully, and the rush is nothing. Zhang Qingran rode his bicycle around the streets; he went to all the nightclubs he knew.But all the nightclubs are closed, and only the neon lights are still blinking lazily, like a prostitute who has just received a customer and yawns at the door. He walked around for a long time and returned home exhausted.Just about to take out the key to open the door, Liu Yi opened the door and asked, did you find Mai Na?It turned out that Liu Yi hadn't slept yet.Zhang Qingran shook his head and entered the room quietly.Liu Yi opened her mouth wide and stared at the man with round eyes, as if she had seen a ghost. The two had to go to bed, but neither of them could fall asleep. They watched the strange shadow shaking their heads on the curtain until dawn. It wasn't until four o'clock in the afternoon that Mina finally came back.It was like turning around from the underworld, and the person was so thin that he took off his shell.Seeing Mai Na now, Liu Yi became angry instead, and blamed that she was so anxious that she didn't feel like making a phone call.Your brother spent the whole night on the street. Zhang Qingran and his wife knew that something must have happened.Mina finally calmed down and told the whole story. It turned out that the encounter had started the night before.She revealed it yesterday, but she didn't say anything because she was afraid that her cousin and his wife would be worried. The night before yesterday, after Mina and the others came out from Blue Moon, they went home by taxi, but a policeman pestered her and wanted to take her to a place to spend the night.She couldn't get rid of it, and she refused to give in, so she took advantage of the policeman's lack of a tranquilizer pistol and knocked him unconscious.She came back late that night. The policeman made the harassing phone call yesterday.He threatened her and told her to go to Box No. 9 after the evening show, or she would bear the consequences.She was terrified, knowing that these people were not to be trifled with.But listening to them doesn't do any good either.She ignored it and resigned herself to fate.When they finished their performance and were just about to leave, several people detained them all.They said they suspected they were hiding police weapons.Sure enough, five tranquilizer pistols were found on their bodies, which they bought on the black market for self-defense. They were taken to the police station.Mina tries to identify the pervert, but the guy doesn't show up.Foxes are not afraid of anything, they wantonly let go.She said, let me tell you, haven't you seen that our five aunts are all beautiful?What can anyone do?If it makes us unhappy, no matter red vs. red or black vs. black, we will make you loose! One person shouted, don't bluff, you have fallen into our hands, don't even think about passing easily! Mai Na found that although these people still looked fierce, they still really listened to what the fox said.They went out to discuss for a while, and when they came back, they separated, questioned them hastily, and issued a fine of 5,000 yuan each. Before leaving, the fox said, I will not pay the fine, if you insist, call me.I can leave you a number. Seeing the presumptuousness of the fox, Mina became more courageous, and said, from tomorrow on, we sisters will each bring a fruit knife, this must not be a police weapon.If we meet a pervert, we will cut off his chickens and feed them to the dogs! After leaving the police station, they went straight to the fox's residence.This is a luxurious residence with three bedrooms and two halls, all the furniture is available, which is very high-grade. Seeing this situation, Mina understood more than half of her heart. The sisters washed up, and the fox said, I brought you here today as a last resort.It's too late, lest we run into any more ghosts.From now on, none of you should come here to look for me, and don’t tell others that I have such a place.I've made up my mind, I don't want to do it anymore, I was reluctant to let everyone else do it, and he can only follow me.After suffering this kind of suffering today, I have no interest. Mina said, people have their own aspirations, it's up to you, but what do we do if we don't do it?Water Snake, Eagle, and Acacia Bean also said they would do it. Then said the fox, good luck to the sisters.If you have any troubles in the future, you can come to me.Don't worry about the fine today, someone will send them a message. The fox pulled Mina aside again, and said, only you know who I am with, for the sake of our sisters, don't tell it, that would be like pushing me to death. Mina promised to keep it secret, but asked her to be more careful about the cat.A person alive, just disappeared without a trace. After Mina cried and said this, it was completely dark.Liu Yi looked at the man and said, Zhang Qingran, there is nothing you can do?Zhang Qingran was silent, full of resentment.He had never felt his own incompetence like he did today.What kind of man do you look like if you can't even maintain the safety of your own family? Liu Yi asked Mina to go to bed and rest, and she went to cook by herself.I didn't buy any vegetables, so I just fried a few eggs. After dinner, Liu Yi advised Mai Na not to go tonight.Mai Na shook her head and said, it’s impossible not to go, it’s not easy to ruin the contract.Liu Yi was still worried and said, let your brother go with you and come back with you.Mina said no, it's not a day or two, how can I have so much time?Besides, my brother is not supercilious, even if he meets a gangster, he can't do anything about it. Liu Yi watched Mai Na go out, and couldn't help crying. For several days, Mina didn't see anything.The matter of fines is really nothing.The hanging hearts of Zhang Qingran and his wife gradually eased.Mina also seemed to be calm, talking and laughing at home, but sometimes she would suddenly get cold.She was originally a very emotional person, and Zhang Qingran and his wife were not surprised and didn't take it too seriously. On this day, Mai Na bought each of Zhang Qingran and his wife a Snow Leopard leather jacket. Zhang Qingran liked it, but thought it was too expensive.Liu Yi also said it was too expensive, so where did we wear it? Mina just laughed.Zhang Qingran knew that her income was considerable, more than that of her husband and wife.But it's not easy to ask too much.Both of them tried it on, and they both fit and styled well.Liu Yi apologized in her heart, and said, you need to save some money yourself, so that you can rely on it in the future.Unexpectedly, after saying this, Mina's face darkened again.How can I have a future?I live it day by day.刘仪责怪起来，说麦娜你老是这个样子不行啊。你才二十出头的人，怎么就这么灰心？麦娜强扮笑脸，说，不讲这个了，我会很好的。 晚上，刘仪无意间说到男人有好几件衣服的确不能再穿了，早过时了，下次全部捐给灾区吧。张青染说，可以捐几件，但不能全捐了。人怕倒霉呀！天知道我们今后会怎样？居安思危啊。刘仪不相信自己真的会落到连衣服都没得穿的地步。最多比别人穿得差一点。她便怪男人没志气，太不中用。 张青染却认真起来，说，居安思危，这是千年古训。你就开始嫌我不中用了？我们有个同事的老婆，年纪同你差不多，在涉外宾馆工作，收入本来也不错，可是不知足啊。她上个月到香港出了一趟差，见了大世面，马上就觉得自己男人不中用了。回来不到半个月，就搭上了一个六十多岁的台胞。我那同事气死了，但为了孩子，还是想破镜重圆，去劝那女人。那女人说，我不怕别人讲我贱骨头。现在从地下挖出一块人骨来，你知道这骨头是贱是贵？have no idea!我们今后死了，都要挫骨扬灰，连骨头都还找不到哩！ 刘仪骂道，才清静几天，你又发神经了。 张青染说，我才不发神经哩！你是说我不中用，我才讲的。我真的到了衣服都没得穿了，你怎么办？ 刘仪哭笑不得，说，你又是这个逻辑了。硬要我回答？那要看你是怎么穷的。若是天灾人祸，我认了，跟着你受穷。若是你四体不勤，我就带着琪琪离开你。 张青染马上追问，到哪里去？ 刘仪说，你无聊不无聊？幸好文化大革命轮不到你来发动，要不然会更加灾难深重！ 张青染不顾女人气恼，还陷在他自己的情绪中。他长叹一声，说，男人哪，就怕戴绿帽子。我那同事，自从老婆跟了别人，他人像矮了一节，说话底气都不足了。 刘仪听这话，冷冷笑了一声。说，我也学你的逻辑，来问问你。你到底是把我看得重，还是把你的面子看得重？你顾的只是面子，那么假如我对你不忠没有伤你的面子，你就不在意了？ 张青染一下子变了脸，说，怎么？你想过这事。 刘仪马上固守防线，说，你别倒打一耙，我是依你的逻辑说话。你别想混，你说你是我重要，还是你的面子重要？ 刘仪这么一追问，张青染内心尴尬起来。他不敢否认女人不重要，但他想得更多的是自己的面子。 见张青染一时不语，刘仪生气了。yes!我早看出来了，我在你心目中是越来越没有地位了，你考虑的只是你男子汉的面子。不是我说你，你这种男人泪我膨胀起来了，就自以为很伟大了，好像可以主宰一切。自暴自弃起来了，又觉得自己一文不值，老婆都守不住了。你只看重自己面子，我如果不伤你的面子，又能为你挣很多钱，难道你就由我怎么样了是不是？ 刚才张青染本来已开始反省自己，可刘仪越讲越刺耳了，他又愤怒起来，说，你敢，你敢。我告诉你，我张青染只可能在两种情况下杀人，一是自己和家人受到侵害而法律又不能为我讨回公道的时候，一是老婆对我不忠的时候。 刘仪愤然道，我知道你这么狠，你杀我好了，你杀我好了，你现在就杀了我！ 张青染气得眼睛充血，说，那你是说你真的要那样？ 刘仪说，我才不会偷人养汉哩！你看好你自己！ 张青染回道，我凭什么？一无权，二无钱，谁会挨我？ 刘仪抓住男人的话，紧逼过来，说，那么你今后发达了，有钱有势了，就要三妻四妾？ 刘仪嚷完，两人都不讲话了。 夜已深沉，也不知麦娜是不是该回来了。琪琪突然格格笑出了声，想必正在做一个很美丽的梦。窗帘上的树影魑魅般狂舞着。外面一定寒风刺骨。 张青染懵懵懂懂，想不清刚才同女人到底争了些什么，更想不起是从什么事上开始争吵的。多没意思。 男人不理不睬，刘仪暗自饮泣。她弄不明白，自己同男人本来可以平平静静过日子的，可怎么稍不小心又硝烟四起，好像他们生活的角角落落布满了地雷。这样的日子有个尽头吗？ 张青染感觉女人肩头在微微抖动，知道女人在哭。心里不忍，搂过女人安慰。女人却哭出了声。 麦娜今天心情好，在家也化了妆，柔美如水。 刘仪很高兴，说，麦娜你要是天天能这样，我们就放心了。 张青染感觉这是化妆的效果，就正经问起这事来。 麦娜眉间就凝上一丝愁云，说，我在化妆上确实很讲究。在家要么不化妆，化妆就化得温柔可爱一些。晚上出去，面对的是人欲横流，我化妆就化得让人感到可望不可即，美丽之中带点冷气、傲气、煞气。你们不知道我的外号，我的外号叫青面鬼。 刘仪听着又啼嘘不已。 张青染后悔自己不该提这事，好好的又弄得大家心里不快。 麦娜总是这个样子，太可怕了。他知道自己没法同麦娜讲什么道理，任何道理在现实面前都是苍白无力的。麦娜在外碰到的事情也许太多了。解脱麦娜，只有改变她的环境。 张青染突然想起前些天在一本杂志上看到的一篇报道，介绍一位名模，也像麦娜这样，先是同几位伙伴自己搞起服装表演队，后来慢慢就出人头地了。 他忽发奇想：麦娜也完全可以造就成名模！ 来不及细想，他就把自己念头讲了出来。 刘仪疑惑道，你头脑发热了？ 麦娜却只道，名模了又怎样？ 张青染思路慢慢清晰起来，说，麦娜你这就不懂了。真的成了名模，你就出头了。我没有传统偏见，你也别小看了自己从事的工作。你这份工作，也完全可以看作一份正儿八经的事业，只要操作得好，是可以有所成就的。这在你也是有可能的，你有这份天姿，又有爱好。人的天姿、爱好同事业结合在一起，就是成功的一半！ 刘仪问，你讲的好像也有道理，只是这事谈何容易？ 麦娜仍然没有多大兴趣，只说，成了名模也不见得怎样。 那就不一样了。张青染说，成了名模，你就天宽地阔了。事业也成功了，那些流氓地痞也不敢对你怎么样了，你可以离开那些纳污藏垢的场所。真的那样，你就可以获得你所希望的一切。 刘仪问，这事这么容易？ 张青染说，不容易，但也并不是没希望。现在很多什么星呀、家呀，怎么成的？靠电视、靠报纸、靠杂志！我在这方面也有几个同学，可以试试。 麦娜沉吟片刻，说，那就听哥的，试试吧。 张青染想了一会儿，说，我有个同学，叫王达飞，在电视台工作，承包了电视台的广告公司，也就是现在的达飞广告公司。看他能不能帮帮忙。我这就打个电话给他，看你的运气了。 一打电话过去，王达飞也正好在家休息。张青染也不绕弯子，开门见山地说了。王达飞说他那里需要兼职广告演员，可以让麦娜去试试。 张青染把王达飞的意思告诉麦娜，说，明天你去就叫他王总就是了。若能先拍拍广告片，就尽力发挥好。这是第一着棋，到时候相机行事。 次日张青染下班一口家，就问麦娜去找了王总没有。 麦娜似乎很少有这么高兴，说，哥你那位同学很讲义气，说是张青染的妹妹，没说的。他让我试了镜头，很满意，让我明天就去拍一个化妆品广告。他说报酬方面也不会亏待我的。 麦娜晚上还得去夜总会串场子。刘仪争着去收拾厨房，说麦娜在外跑了一天也挺辛苦的。 张青染今天感觉极佳。自己在创造奇迹。终将有一天，麦娜会成为光彩夺目的人物，她将拥有自己的小洋楼、小汽车，有自己的律师。从自己的设计中，张青染看到了自己的才能，颇为得意。 刘仪仍有些将信将疑，问，真的会成功吗？ 张青染似乎很有把握，说，事在人为。 刘仪有心无心地询问，唉，对麦娜，我们也是尽心尽力了。她今后真的有出息了，还记得我们吗？俗话说，人一阔，脸就变。到时候，她只怕是个成天搂着叭儿狗的冷血动物了。 不等张青染说什么，刘仪猛然记起一件事来，说，提起叭儿狗，我正要告诉你一桩怪事。这事若不是发生在我们单位，谁说我也不敢相信。我单位有个女的，快四十岁了，平时看去也文文静静，正正经经的。她男人是跑采购的，常年在外。她家养了一条狗，打扮得漂亮不过了，天天不离身。昨天你猜怎么了！她同狗做那事，拔不出来了，痛得她做鬼叫。也不知在家折腾了多久，深更半夜弄到医院才拔出来。啧啧，这不要羞死人？ 张青染却说，这不，你常讲要喂狗喂猫的，幸好我不同意。不然，只怕要引狼人室了。 刘仪气呼呼地站了起来，指着男人鼻子叫道，张青染你别太过分了。你别老是这样，我告诉你，什么事情都往我身上摊。你为什么就不可以把我往好里想？ 刘仪叫骂着。张青染渐渐脑子木了，闭着眼睛躺在沙发一角，一副死牛任剥的样子。 一个多月下来，麦娜居然拍了四个广告。想不到麦娜在电视里还要漂亮些。 麦娜比原来忙了许多，白天不敢再睡懒觉，早早就得出门，有时拍广告，有时也要应酬。晚上去夜总会串场子也不能放弃。接琪琪和做家务就顾不过来了。张青染夫妇商量一下，只得请了个保姆。 张青染见麦娜忙忙碌碌，心里就踏实了许多。麦娜真的像一位创业者了。 但下一步怎么走，张青染还没有想好。前些年三天两头选这小姐那小姐的，现在怎么总不见有人来组织？若是有机会让麦娜参加个什么大赛，促成她获得个好名次就行了。只要有个由头，就可以策划一些人物专访之类的文章，找有关系的报刊发一发。这样要不了多久，麦娜就会大红大紫的。 正愁着这事，在晚报社当新闻部主任的舒然之跑到他办公室来闲侃。这位仁兄有侃瘾，隔一段就跑到张青染办公室磨上半天。 李处长见舒然之来了，就敷衍几句，说声你们老同学聊吧，我办个事去。 两位老同学东扯西扯，不知怎么扯到麦娜的事上来了。舒然之摇头晃脑了半天，轻轻敲了几下桌子，说，老同学呀，你天天坐在政府机关办公室，怎么还不开窍？ 张青染听了摸不着头脑，问，怎么了？ 舒然之诡谲道，麦娜没有参加过任何大赛，但我可以让她获得大赛名次。 张青染越发不明白了，直问这是怎么回事。 舒然之却不急，慢慢抿了一口茶，目光幽幽地望着张青染，说，老同学了，也不瞒你。现在有些热闹一场，就是我们这些人制造出来的。既然是你的妹妹，又有这么好的条件，我们不妨创造一个奇迹。这样吧，你今天就算请我的客，我到你家吃晚饭，同麦娜见一面，随便扯扯。我保证一个星期之内我们晚报发个像模像样的报道。看时机，我再联系几家报刊杂志也发一下。对了，让她找几张漂亮些的照片给我，有艺术照最好。 张青染虽然急于求成，但还不敢相信可以按舒然之的办法现一手。He hesitated. what happened?怕我吃了你家饭，还是怕我打你家表妹的主意？舒然之玩笑道。 张青染只好说，好，试试吧。不然你要说我小气了。 舒然之同刘仪熟识，见面不多客套。张青染把舒然之介绍给麦娜，说明了意图，弄得麦娜很不好意思。 舒然之说，没关系的，也不叫什么采访，我也不做笔记，随便聊聊。 大家就这么在茶饭之间随便聊了一通。 晚饭后，麦娜清了几张照片给舒然之，稍坐一会儿，道了歉意，就去夜总会了。 舒然之仍闲话了一会儿。张青染深感纳闷，问，你这么聊了一通，就可以炮制文章？不瞒你说，我同麦娜朝夕相处，现在要我来写她都还不知从哪里起笔哩。 舒然之哈哈大笑，说，写这样的文章，就是要同写作对象有一种疏离感，看得太真切了反而写不好。 张青染怎么也理解不了。 三天之后，张青染接到舒然之电话。青染你注意明天的晚报，我写麦娜的文章明天见报。 次日晚报一到，张青染马上翻到副刊。只见麦娜的压题照片高贵、飘逸、神秘。舒然之大作的标题是《与梦同在——名模麦娜从昨天走向未来》。 这个舒然之，麦娜怎么就成了名模了？ 麦娜有许多的梦。她说，小时候，常梦见自己在飞，在飞，四周是漫无边际的彩云。多年之后，当她荣膺南国小姐桂冠的时候，面对掌声、鲜花和辉煌，她记起了儿时的梦……面对麦娜，你常常会产生一种时空错觉，不知她来自何方，又将隐踪何处。麦娜是神秘的，她从线装本中走出，一路轻歌曼舞，路旁长满蓬蓬森森的湘妃竹……麦娜有许多的梦，有许多关于飞天的梦。 才两千字的文章，张青染看了一个多小时。他几乎不相信自己的眼睛，往往读完一句又要重读一次。通篇文字扑朔迷离，麦娜几乎成了一位云中君。 他马上打电话，想找找舒然之。那边接电话的说舒然之不在，外出采访了。 刚放下电话，舒然之推门进来了。 舒然之很得意，笑得有点像在恶作剧。张青染说，然之，你也太胆大了，尽搞些子虚乌有的东西。你写的麦娜，我都认不得了。还有什么南国小姐！ 舒然之仍是笑，说，青染，你也许是本世纪最后一个诚实孩子了。前几年各种选美活动眼花缘乱，现在谁也弄不清了。我也没有说她是哪一年在哪里获的奖，由他们猜去吧。你只要告诉麦娜，让她学会应付，搪塞就行了。 事情哪有这么简单？麦娜又不是突然从天上掉下来的，她有那么多熟人，谁不知道她？张青染说。 舒然之却大摇其头。张青染哪，你还不懂什么叫名人。我跟你讲，别说我在给你上课。麦娜有多少熟人？one hundred?二百？三百？我敢断定，依她的年纪和阅历，完全了解她的人不可能超过三百。但她一旦是名人了，知道她的人就是百万、千万，甚至亿万！相比之下，区区三百人算什么！要知道，名人是生活在成千上万的陌生人当中的，无数的陌生人会让名人拥有一切。对了，我记得你说过，麦娜这个名字也还不是你表妹的本名，这对她也是有利的。 舒然之一席高论似乎也可信，但张青染心里总不踏实。说白了，这其实就是在搞阴谋诡计，弄虚做假。 张青染说，这事哄得了别人，只怕哄不了王达飞吧。麦娜这会儿正在他那里做事，他要是看了你的文章，会怎么样？ 他能怎么样？舒然之很自负的样子，说，今天晚上我就车找他，他要感谢我才是！ 这话怎么说？张青染问。 舒然之说，王达飞你还不清楚？精得很！麦娜的广告我看了，的确不错。这么说吧，我敢这么放着胆子写麦娜是看见王达飞肯用麦娜。王达飞讲同学情分，这我也清楚。但他也不会在自己赚钱的大事上勉强迁就。麦娜会是他王达飞的一棵摇钱树的。这他不感谢我？ 下班回家，张青染让麦娜看看舒然之的大作。麦娜边看边摇头。这哪里是我？这哪是我？让熟人看见了，我怎么好意思？ 张青染悄悄开导麦娜，他将舒然之的那一套逻辑又完善充实了一下，细细教给了麦娜。最后，反复嘱咐道，一定要学会遮掩、搪塞，做到左右逢源，滴水不漏。 刘仪看了那篇文章，说，难怪人们讲报纸只有日期和讣告是真的。 刘仪还想着那篇文章，说，不过舒然之的文章还可以，我看了都爱上麦娜了。 第二天上午，张青染接到王达飞电话。王达飞说，舒然之真是个冒失鬼，比我们电视记者胆子大多了。但都是老同学了，我就赌一回，认了这个名模了。不过麦娜真还可以。我初步考虑，把麦娜作为我们公司的牌子，打出去。现在广告公司太多了，竞争激烈，我这碗饭也不好吃，也需要为自己广告广告。 张青染这下放心了。 果然，几天之后，电视上打出了宣传达飞广告公司的广告。先是咔嚓咔嚓推出一副副商品照片，然后打出字幕：优秀的品牌。紧接着咔嚓咔嚓推出楚楚动人的麦娜，又打出字幕：美丽的麦娜。马上就是雄浑的男中音：麦娜创意，达飞广告！ 麦娜创意是什么意思？刘仪问男人。 张青染笑笑，说，我相信王达飞也不清楚。 张青染没想到，舒然之这么玩一手，麦娜就喜剧地成名了。这同他最初的设计在思路上差不多，只是舒然之节奏快了一些。张青染是想循序渐进，水到渠成。想来自己是不合潮流了。 王达飞的生意越来越红火。主要街道两旁的路灯杆上清一色的达飞文字广告。现在他们不论做什么商品的广告，都要打出“麦娜创意，达飞广告”的旗号。王达飞够朋友，给麦娜的报酬，除了按片计酬外，每月还给她1500元固定工资。 麦娜好像一股富有魔力的风，在大街小巷没日没夜地刮着。不多久，麦娜家喻户晓了。有些人甚至说不清麦娜是人还是物，只是盲目感觉着一种潮流、一种时尚、一种信赖。 王达飞鬼精鬼精，让他们电视台《每日焦点》栏目策划了一次关于麦娜现象的专题报道。记者在街头采访，群众回答提问时五花八门。有位大学生很有学问的样子，说，麦娜创意嘛，好像是目前国际上流行的一种广告业经营方式，它是用一位名叫麦娜的女创始人的名字命名的。 主持人最后发表述评说，很多观众都知道，麦娜是近年来逐步成熟起来的广告演员。其实，麦娜是谁这并不重要，重要的是麦娜创意所体现的一种广告经营思想，这——就是把广告宣传的优秀品牌同广告公司本身的良好信誉紧紧联系在一起，对企业负责，对用户负责，也对自己负责。 过了几天，舒然之专门跑来告诉张青染，说，王达飞搞的《每日焦点》报道获得了极大成功，电视有电视的优势。但要注意，名气大了，麻烦也来了，麦娜就在聚光灯下生活了。一定要告诉麦娜，除了我和王达飞安排的，她不要自行接受任何记者的采访。不怕你说我寒接自己，有人说世界上有两种人得罪不起，记者和小人。麦娜这样的人同记者打交道太危险了。炒名人最忌热一阵，冷一阵，这个我最清楚不过了。但不要指望别人来炒，我会适时写点文章为她捧场的。我多用几个笔名，多发几家刊物，就可造成热闹场面。 张青染表示感谢。舒然之说，客气什么？老同学嘛！再说自己也爱好。 张青染回家，见麦娜坐在阳台上吸烟，目光忧郁地望着天。可他不怎么好去讲她。 一会儿刘仪回家了，大家就开始吃晚饭。席间，张青染把舒然之的意思说了。麦娜点头说，知道。 麦娜走后，刘仪到阳台上晾衣服，见窗台上放着烟灰缸，里面有几个烟蒂，就问青染来了客人？张青染说没有，是麦娜吸烟。我回来时，她一个人在阳台上吸烟，我也不好说她。 刘仪皱起了眉头，说，她不要变坏才好哩。 张青染说，依我看，麦娜人是犟
