Chapter 34
When Su He went over to look for him, Cai Xinmei had gone to the set and was not in the lounge. He handed the things to the other party's assistant and returned to the hotel.
Just as I entered the elevator in the hotel lobby, I heard hurried footsteps not far away. A man who was on the phone trotted over, and it seemed that he also wanted to take the elevator.
Su He pressed the door open button and waited for him for a while. The man hung up the phone and smiled at him gently: "Thank you."
"Nothing." He smiled and shook his head. The elevator arrived quickly, but the man followed him out and called out tentatively, "Mr. Su?"
Su He turned around in surprise and looked at the other person carefully. The man had delicate features and was dressed casually but his clothes were very design-conscious. He exuded a faint literary air, but his face was unfamiliar, so he should not be an acquaintance.
He asked, "Do you know me?"
The other person politely extended his hand and introduced himself. "Mr. Su, you probably don't know me yet. My name is Xiao Qingzhuo. I'm the screenwriter of 'Zhao Gaotai' and an investor in Xianglan Publishing House. The other day you went to Xianglan to sign the contract, I read your manuscript and have been wanting to find an opportunity to meet you."
"Zhao Gaotai" is the ancient costume martial arts drama that just started filming today, and Xiao Qingzhuo's name is also well-known.
As soon as he became an adult, he wrote a phenomenal online novel, which was picked by a well-known director and made into a hit movie. Several actors he promoted have now become movie kings and actresses.
Later, when he switched from literature to screenwriting, this name became a guarantee of script success, and he won numerous awards.
Su He couldn't hide what was going on on his face. He shook hands with him politely, but the surprise in his eyes was not hidden at all. Xiao Qingzhuo smiled and asked him, "What's wrong?"
With such a glorious experience, one would think that he was at least a thirty or forty-year-old man with considerable experience, but Su He was surprised that Xiao Qingzhuo looked so young, and estimated that he was only about twenty-seven or twenty-eight.
He always speaks his mind: "I just didn't expect you to be so young."
"I didn't expect that Mr. Su, who could write such a tragic story, is so lovely in person." Xiao Qingzhuo curved his eyes and took out a business card from his pocket and handed it over.
"I actually want to ask if you're interested in joining my studio. Your writing is powerful and your stories are great. If you're interested in expanding your horizons and trying to become a screenwriter, you could go far in the future."
It was a rare experience to be praised as cute by an adult man. Su He rubbed his hands shyly and took the business card.
He really needs to make plans for his future. If there is a future, he can't stay with Sheng Jinyu forever.
The two chatted for a while on the terrace in the corner of the hotel corridor. Although it was their first meeting, they could be considered to have gotten along well. The conversation ended only when Xiao Qingzhuo was called away by a phone call.
Su He leaned on the railing of the terrace, stroking the business card in his hand. He had not yet given Xiao Qingzhuo a clear answer. After all, Su He was not sure when he could get out of the struggle between the Sheng family's father and son.
He stared at something in the void, lost in thought, and didn't notice that the elevator door not far behind him had opened again.
Sheng Jin sent a message to Su He on his way back, but Su He did not reply, and he could not stop feeling anxious.
It's like a person with separation anxiety facing separation. I don't know what exactly I'm upset about, but the feeling of uneasiness objectively exists.
As he looked up after stepping out of the elevator, he caught an unmistakable glimpse of the figure on the terrace. The figure was thin and lonely, standing alone in the wind, his clothes fluttering in the wind, and he looked a little lonely.
Without thinking, Sheng Jinyu turned around and walked over to ask him why he didn't reply to the message, but the phone in his hand suddenly vibrated.
It was Cai Xinmei who called.
He had accidentally connected the call, so Sheng Jinyu had no choice but to pick it up first. The clear female voice on the other end said with a hint of half-hearted anger, "Brother! Why did you give me couple's coffee? My boyfriend saw it in the lounge and came to me crying, asking if I didn't want him anymore!!"
"What coffee..." Sheng Jinyu was stunned.
He suddenly remembered that an hour ago, Su He did send him a message asking him what to do with the coffee and desserts, but he was busy at the time and didn't look closely.
He just thought that Cai Xinmei liked this kind of sweet thing, so he said it casually.
How can it be a couple's version?
Just as he was silent, Cai Xinmei said, "I've asked my assistant to send it back to you. It should be at the hotel now. Remember to ask someone to pick it up."
Sheng Jinyu hung up the phone with a frown and turned to ask Fang Cheng what was going on.
In fact, this is not a big deal at all, not even a misunderstanding. It’s just that the order volume is huge, and the merchant gave gifts in return. It just so happened that there was a joint event recently and they were making new products with couples as the theme, so this misunderstanding occurred.
So could it be that Su He also had the same misunderstanding?
"Su He." Sheng Jin called out neither lightly nor heavily.
Su He turned around and went to greet him: "You're back."
"Come downstairs with me and get my things."
Sheng Jinyu's words were too serious to be refused. Su He wanted to just give it to him, but then he thought it might be something important that required the eldest young master to go and get it himself. As a result, he was dumbfounded when he got downstairs.
"Isn't this the gift you gave to Miss Cai? If she doesn't like it, I can exchange it for something else..." Su He looked at him while holding two bags, and was interrupted halfway through his words.
"Who told you that it was specially sent to her?" Sheng Jinyu raised his eyebrows, but at the same time an idea popped up in his mind that he had indeed misunderstood.
Is that why you didn't reply to messages and stood alone on the terrace feeling miserable in the wind, just because your secret crush was flirting with someone else?
She is lonely and sad behind people's backs, but she has to pretend not to care in front of others. She even tries to be generous and take on the task of buying things for her rival for her secret crush. She looks so pitiful.
"It was Fang Cheng who didn't do his job well. He didn't know how to handle the gifts given by the merchants, which caused me to be scolded by Xin Mei. Tell me, as a brother, am I wronged?"
Assistant Fang unknowingly took the blame, and Sheng Jinyu was unaware of his own bad behavior, dragging out his tone for a long time.
Su He inexplicably heard a hint of complaint and amusement in his tone, but what surprised him even more was the last sentence. He couldn't help but ask, "Is Miss Cai your sister? A biological sister?"
Sheng Jinyu chuckled, put his hands in his pockets, and explained generously, "He's my aunt's child."
"No wonder, your eyes look very similar, both are very beautiful." Su He said with a smile.
You see, Su He is so easy to satisfy. He was so happy after just an explanation. Sheng Jinyu unconsciously curled up the corners of his mouth, forming an imperceptible arc.
His goal was achieved, and he didn't care about whether these cups of coffee should stay or go, so he left it to Su He to deal with it.
After returning to the room, Sheng Jinyu turned on the computer to deal with emails. Suddenly, his cell phone kept ringing. It was a harassing message from Yan Yichen saying that he had gone on a trip to Phuket and met his true love there.
Sheng Jinyu didn't take it seriously, put the phone aside and turned off the sound, allowing him to bombard her with messages. After all, this was Yan Yicheng's verbal confirmation of true love for who knows how many times.
After a while, Yan Yichen called.
Sheng Jinyu picked up the phone and said briefly, "Tell me, if you don't do anything serious, you're dead."
"No, you left in a hurry when we got off the boat last time. I didn't have time to finish the snooker game with Su He. Shao Fei complained to me yesterday, saying that you exploited Assistant Su more than giving him a holiday. He couldn't even get anyone to come. And what about the third brother and those people from the Sun family? If you don't dare to ask, come to me."
Su He spent a few days on the Raphael playing with a group of young masters and young ladies, and he gained a lot of popularity. It can also be said that he was "played" by this group of people for a few days. Everyone thought he was very interesting.
Yan Yichen commented, "Your Assistant Su is incredibly charming. When you have another party, you can invite him along... No, you already take him everywhere with you. When will you be free?"
Sheng Jinyu put down what he was holding and asked back in a gloomy tone.
"Really? Did I stop him from having fun with you guys? It's not like you can't get his phone number. Go make an appointment yourself."
Yan Yichen had long been accustomed to Sheng Jin's sarcastic way of speaking, but he still felt that this tone was not only sarcastic, but also a bit sour.
He half-jokingly said, "How can that be? That would be overstepping one's authority. I still need your approval."
"You like him so much?"
"Assistant Su is cheerful and has a good personality. He's sincere, meticulous, and considerate. Most importantly, he's also very good-looking. It's hard not to like him."
But Sheng Jinyu suddenly asked, "Then do you know who he likes?"
"Ah?" Yan Yichen was stunned. What did this have to do with anything? Was the topic they were talking about related to this?
But he still cooperated: "How would I know? I'm not familiar with him. He can't possibly like you."
There was silence on the other end of the phone. The longer the silence lasted, the more surprised Yan Yichen became. "No way, he confessed to you? And then, you rejected him?"
"No."
"So that means you agree!?"
“No.”
Yan Yichen was anxious: "Master Sheng, please don't squeeze the toothpaste at this time. What's going on?"
Sheng Jinyu was not deliberately keeping Yan Yichen in suspense. He was just not 100% sure that his guess was the fact. What if the letter really wasn't written to him?
"I saw the love letter he wrote, but he doesn't seem to be planning to give it to me." Sheng Jinyu sighed, which was very rare, and seemed a little helpless.
This time it was Yan Yichen's turn to fall silent. He stroked his chin and thought for a while. His experience in love was much richer than Sheng Jinyu's. After all, he was an experienced person in this regard.
Yan Yichen said slowly: "Let me analyze it objectively. There is a 90% chance that he likes you. Not to mention that he does like men."
"Just look at how he's been trying to be humble around you these days. No arrogant person could do that. He's like a completely different person."
"Except that he's interested in you, I can't think of any other explanation. If you weren't reluctant to let go, given your opposing relationship, it's a good thing you didn't fight." Yan Yichen's analysis was very logical, and it sounded very reasonable at first glance.
Sheng Jinyu didn't say anything, his eyes fell on a pink sticky note on the surface of the water cup, on which were only four words written in crooked handwriting:
——Drink more water!
There is also a cartoon smiling face drawn next to the handwriting, and you don’t have to think about who wrote it.
So, it really wasn't his wishful thinking...
