Abandoning Glory

  Abandoning glory and splendor

  Standing on top of this high-rise building, there is a sense of being in control of everything, as if everything is under one's own control. Mei Yu shook her head and got rid of this unnecessary idea.

  She strolled back into the house and picked up another remote control from the marble cabinet in front of the bed, pressed it lightly, and the mirror wall split in two, revealing a closet that extended from the base of the wall to the top, divided into three sections.

  At the very top was a row of handbags, from the labels on them, there were no shortage of luxury brands like LV and Hermès. It could be seen that An Ge had a preference for luxurious styles, these ladies' handbags were mostly glittering gold with diamond-encrusted buckles;

  In the middle were all clothes, like those in a department store, covered with a layer of transparent plastic bags, one piece next to another, stretching for at least ten meters. Mei Yu only took a glance and picked out several big brands' new seasonal products, and these clothes hadn't even had their tags cut off yet;

  The bottom row is shoes, all kinds of shoes, high-heeled sandals, customized tennis shoes, soft ballet shoes...

  By the way, during the new book period, can everyone enthusiastically give a thumbs up and recommend votes? Thank you~

  In this huge closet, the only signs of wear are on the shoes, while clothes and handbags seem to be merely for satisfying their owner's certain hobby, purely for collection and appreciation.

  Plum rain didn't even glance at the handbag on top, rummaged through the clothes in the middle for half a day, and finally gave up. The clothes here are so expensive that taking out one piece would cost a small white-collar worker half a month's salary. It's really dazzling for someone who is about to start from scratch.

  Plum rain picked up a few pairs of comfortable sports shoes from the shoes below, this custom-made shoe didn't even have a brand name on it, it was obviously bought from a street stall, which met her requirements.

  Mei Yu found a suitcase, which was also LV's. There was no way to do it, so she had to make do with it, and threw several pairs of shoes in together. Finally, after searching around the room, she found quite a bit of loose change in several corners, and some hundred-yuan bills in the pockets of her washed pants. After counting them roughly, there were over two thousand yuan.

  She was very satisfied with this gain, put the money into her pocket, and finally took a look at this luxurious apartment. Mei Yu left without looking back, carrying her suitcase out of the door.

  She only brought Ang's ID, various credit cards and bank cards were all thrown under the bed. Mei Yu made up her mind to start from scratch, she was already satisfied that she could continue living with Ang's body, she didn't want to occupy Ang's identity, that was Ang's life, not hers.

  In this vast city, there is a group of people who like to call themselves the "drifting tribe". They have no fixed income and no fixed job. Every day, they just run around in various film crews, looking for an opportunity to be an extra, dreaming that one day, they will be discovered by a great director and become the heroine of a big production, thus soaring to fame overnight.

  Plum rain, was also one of them.

  She was very clear about the several footholds in this city, crowded quadrangle courtyards, damp basements, and even subway tunnels and bridge piers could become shelters for these drifters.

  Plum rain is going to a very ordinary siheyuan, where some small-time actors who are barely able to stand firm in various film crews live.

  What she needs now is not only an opportunity to enter the industry, but also to rely on others' connections to quickly integrate into this circle.

  This LV suitcase is indeed famous for its heavy-duty reflective metallic fabric, silver shiny handle, and lightweight feel when pulled. The two small wheels make almost no noise when in contact with the rough concrete floor.

  Mei Yu was reluctant to throw away this box.

  At the convenience store next to the bus stop, she bought several large plastic bags and some toiletries, took out her shoes from the suitcase, threw them into the plastic bag, then carried the bag in one hand and dragged the empty box to the bus stop.

  Looked clearly at the route to go, waited for about five minutes, the bus arrived, the crowd waiting for the bus surged forward, the door of the bus was briefly crowded, Meiyu took advantage of the situation to open her suitcase, carrying a plastic bag onto the bus.

  It just so happened that it coincided with the evening rush hour, Mei Yu carried a large plastic bag, which attracted many white eyes. She calmly stood in the soft folding section of the bus and swung her body upwards.

  Normally, it's not allowed to rely on people here, but many people can't take care of so much. In the limited space, being able to have a little more room for relaxation makes one feel more comfortable. As for the probability of hidden dangers in ten thousandths, few people consider it.

  It's more turbulent here than elsewhere, and May Rain skillfully sways her body in sync with the bus's movement, using a simple balancing technique to offset the turbulence caused by the bus's motion.

  Mei Yu once starred in a martial arts film, where she played a fisherwoman, every day wearing a conical hat and rowing a small boat on the lake, her hometown is in the north, a thorough landlubber.

  At the beginning, as soon as she got on the boat, she vomited non-stop, and the director once considered replacing her. Mei Yu gritted her teeth and persisted, eating and living on the fishing boat every day, only stopping to go ashore when it was convenient, and finally mastered the skill of rowing a boat.

  After the film was shot and sent for review, there were still some viewers who didn't know the truth pointing at the screen and laughing to ask the director: "Where did you find such professional extras? Are they local fishermen?"

  Memories resurfaced, and Mei Yu felt herself gradually replacing Angie. She returned to her familiar life in the entertainment industry, like a fish that had accidentally jumped onto the shore and was now back in the water, free and at ease, with everything under control.

  The bus's station announcement broke Meiyu's meditation, she picked up the plastic bag under her feet and squeezed outwards with a fierce momentum. Getting on the bus was a charge, getting off was a battle, one had to have the spirit of "I'll go if millions of people do" in order to fight their way out of the crowd and secure a path to get off the bus.

  After getting off the bus, Mei Yu walked to the front of the bus stop sign and studied it for a while. She stretched out her hand and counted with her fingers, still four stops away. After a moment's hesitation, she made up her mind, slung her bag over her shoulder, and strode forward.

  She still has no income now and every penny needs to be saved. The necessities she just bought include a thermos cup, which is very expensive, over 50 yuan, but it's worth it.

  When filming, the crew usually provides mineral water, but it's not unlimited. Generally, one person can get two bottles a day, which is definitely not enough for summer.

  Of course, if it's a big enough production, they can use mineral water to wash their hair when filming in the desert.

  Mei Yu did a simple calculation. She brought her own water bottle and saved two bottles of mineral water per day, which added up to 60 yuan per month.

  Moreover, her makeup artist had once warned her that drinking warm water was very important for maintaining herself.
