After moving back to the apartment, Song Xuanhe was only happy about one thing - the food quality had improved dramatically.
But he was also a little worried. At this time, Xiao Yuanmu should have gone to Hai City and started working in an investment bank there, but now, Xiao Yuanmu was still staying in the Song Group and had no intention of resigning at all.
So when having lunch with Xiao Yuanmu at noon, Song Xuanhe changed his usual style of talking little and eating a lot, and began to care about the problems Xiao Yuanmu faced at work.
"Today's beef is so tender." Song Xuanhe swallowed the meat in his mouth and experimentally glanced at Xiao Yuanmu, who was eating quietly without raising his eyes, and continued: "But the cumin seems a bit too much, you can put less next time."
Xiao Yuanmu raised his eyes and said, "You said this morning that you wanted to eat cumin beef with lots of cumin."
"Really?" Song Xuan and Tong Ren shook their heads guiltily, then said confidently, "But they didn't say we had to put so much."
Xiao Yuanmu glanced at him indifferently, then looked away and continued eating.
"I heard that there's a new colleague in your department?" Song Xuanhe picked up another piece of beef, found a breakthrough point, and said casually: "It seems that he graduated from the same school as us. How is his work ability?"
Xiao Yuanmu paused for a moment, chewed the food in his mouth carefully, and then spoke slowly, "I don't know him."
"He is in the same major as you and is your junior. How come you don't know him?" Song Xuanhe asked again: "And I heard that his grades in school and internship are very good. Will your supervisor rely on him more?"
"I don't know." Xiao Yuanmu's tone was cold.
"I heard that when he graduated, Haishi Investment Bank directly asked him to intern there. In order to snatch him, Song's raised his salary by 20%. During the executive meeting yesterday, the head of the venture capital department particularly admired him and praised him for a long time. He also said that he had a unique vision and had earned his first 10 million by testing the stock market while still in school. I don't know if it's true."
“I don’t know.”
Seeing that Xiao Yuanmu had no reaction, Song Xuanhe put down his chopsticks and pretended to be calm before getting straight to the point: "If your supervisor relies too much on him and marginalizes you, would you feel that the company cannot realize your ambitions and want to resign immediately?"
Xiao Yuanmu finally said a few more words and asked him, "Are you saying so much because you're afraid that I'll resign?"
No, I want to get information from you, then have your department head marginalize you and force you to resign.
Song Xuanhe shook his head and said, "Just asking casually."
"I won't resign for the time being." Xiao Yuanmu said lightly.
Does that mean you will resign in the future?
Song Xuanhe's eyes lit up, but his eyebrows wrinkled. He asked in a dissatisfied tone, "Do you mean you will resign in the future? It won't be for a long time, ten days or half a month."
Xiao Yuanmu also put down his chopsticks, and looked at him calmly with a pair of calm eyes. It was not until Song Xuan and his pretended angry expression could no longer be maintained that he spoke coldly, "You don't want me to leave?"
hope!
"Of course not." Song Xuanhe still frowned, looking at his expression as if he was looking at an ungrateful ungrateful person: "This is my company, do I want to have an employee like you who can't do anything for half a year and wastes administrative manpower?"
Xiao Yuanmu wiped his mouth with a tissue and said in an ambiguous tone: "I thought you wanted me to leave."
"How could I possibly…"
"Since you don't want me to leave, then I won't leave." Xiao Yuanmu let go of what he had said so far, his upturned peach blossom eyes slightly curved, and his tone seemed to be meaningful: "After all, I am your boyfriend."
After the assistant came in and took away their dishes, Xiao Yuanmu said he had some things to deal with during lunch break and left.
As soon as the office door was closed, Song Xuanhe kicked the desk, stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. Looking at the pedestrians and vehicles on the road that were getting infinitely smaller, he childishly patted the clean and bright floor-to-ceiling window to express his frustration. ,
When his cell phone rang, he was still thinking of other ways to make Xiao Yuanmu resign. He didn't even look at the caller ID and swiped to answer the call.
"Mr. Song!"
The person on the other end seemed to have not expected Song Xuanhe to answer the phone, and there was a hint of surprise in his voice.
Hearing a female voice that was neither unfamiliar nor familiar, Song Xuanhe took the phone from his ear, turned on the speakerphone after seeing the caller ID, put the phone on the table, sat on the sofa, and said coldly, "Is there something wrong with Queen Liu?"
"Mr. Song... I was desperate so I called you by chance." Liu Xu's voice came out from the loudspeaker, a little hoarse: "I didn't expect you to actually answer the phone."
Song Xuanhe doesn't pay much attention to the entertainment industry, but he has Zhou Nan by his side, whose family is in the film and television industry, so he knows Liu Xu's current situation.
However, he did not respond, and his tone was a little impatient: "What's the matter?"
"I... would like to invite you to attend the premiere of 'Light Blindness' tonight, the one you visited last time. Director Huang will be the assistant director." Liu Xu suppressed the hoarseness in her throat and her voice became soft and pleasant: "This is also what Director Huang wanted, so I wanted to ask if you could come."
Song Xuanhe curled the corner of his mouth, and he knew what Liu Xu was planning.
She had previously sent the information about Zhang Xiuya and Song Guochao to Li Nian'an, but Li Nian'an had already known about this and simply pretended not to have seen it. She was unwilling to not see the result she wanted, and she somehow heard about Zhang Xiuya's pregnancy, so she sent an anonymous email to instigate Zhang Xiuya to seize the throne of the Song family, which led to the farce and scandal in the Song family.
When Song Guochao was overwhelmed with troubles, he was naturally not going to think much about the reason why his mistress was exposed. But after these things were over, he had some free time to think about it and he realized that this was not an accident. Song Guochao was not capable, but he could use the resources of the Song family at will. In addition, after forcing Zhang Xiuya to confess, it was only a matter of time before he could catch Liu Xu.
Therefore, Liu Xu's film and television career was ruined by Song Guochao, who was angry and humiliated because of the fire in his backyard, and was directly facing the crisis of being put into cold storage.
At this time, Liu Xu approached him but did not mention a word about wanting him to help her deal with the company. Instead, she asked him to attend the premiere of her movie in a roundabout way, probably because she wanted to use his identity to get something done.
Liu Xu's company decided to hide her under the order of Song Guochao. However, if Song Guochao's son showed up at his premiere to support her and then took a few ambiguous photos and spread them, coupled with the rumors about them on the Internet, the top management of Liu Xu's company would start to make some plans.
At that time, as long as Liu Xu can produce evidence that Song Guochao no longer has a say in the Song Group, while he owns 20% of the shares and the right to speak in the Song Group, he can use him to solve his own troubles.
I have to say that Liu Xu’s idea was very good.
The news of his discord with Song Guochao is no longer a secret. Anyone who wants to find out can find out. Moreover, he is known for his domineering and unruly personality. If he heard the news that Song Guochao banned Liu Xu at the premiere, he would probably rebel and go against Song Guochao. At that time, everyone would only see the fight between the father and son of the Song family, and the only beneficiary would be the one who got away from this incident.
After a long time without hearing Song Xuanhe's answer, Liu Xu felt a little nervous, and her voice became softer: "I have just asked my assistant to send the invitation to the premiere to your company. If you don't have time, you don't have to come. It's just that this movie is quite relaxing, and I think it would be a relief for you to come and watch it after get off work."
Knowing that Liu Xu was retreating to advance, Song Xuanhe did not reply immediately, but just said lightly: "We'll talk about it when the time comes."
Hearing that Song Xuanhe did not refuse immediately, Liu Xu was delighted and said quickly: "Okay, the director, the actors and the crew are all looking forward to your coming to watch the movie."
Will you go? 】
Since the car accident, the system has rarely spoken. Song Xuanhe was a little surprised to hear his voice this time, but he still replied: "Go, why not, it's so interesting."
[Anyway, there is no necessary plot for the time being, and it will take a long time for Xiao Yuanmu to return to the Song family. You can really do what you want. 】
Song Xuanhe nodded but said nothing.
The system hesitated for a moment, and said: [You told me before that you suspected that Xiao Yuanmu traveled here from the original book. The time point when he traveled through was the time when he was sent to Sun Jinren for a car accident in the book. After I submitted it to the headquarters, the headquarters only told me that Xiao Yuanmu did travel through time from the original book, but could not deduce the exact time point. 】
[He will travel through time, and there should be no other time point except that time point. 】Song Xuanhe said.
【Why. 】The system said: 【It is possible that he came from a later time. Even the main system cannot make a conclusion now. 】
[If he had returned to the Xiao family, he should have gone to the Xiao family by now. Even if he didn't go to the Xiao family, he would definitely find ways to contact his subordinates at that time to make detailed arrangements for future plans. Song Xuanhe was lying on the sofa and said: But now he has no signs of contact with the Xiao family or anyone related to the Xiao family. Even his few subordinates who could be named in the book have not appeared. 】
[Others may not say it, but it is written in the book that his right-hand man Wang Dong's family was destroyed during the time when the director of the welfare home died due to untimely medical treatment. This time point is written very clearly. In the later part of the book, Xiao Yuanmu regarded Wang Dong as his only friend. He also said in his monologue that if he could have known Wang Dong at that time, he could have helped him. However, there was no one named Wang Dong around Xiao Yuanmu, so I am sure he should have come from the time of the car accident. 】
The system listened to Song Xuanhe's analysis and felt that it made some sense, and said: [It seems to be true. 】
[This is the most likely outcome.] 】Although Song Xuanhe was very confident, he did not say anything definite.
The premiere started at eight o'clock in the evening. After Song Xuanhe and Xiao Yuanmu got off work and had dinner, they drove there slowly.
Originally, Song Xuanhe thought that Xiao Yuanmu was not interested in such occasions and would not go with him. Unexpectedly, after hearing what he said, he stood up with him and said that he would go with him.
When the two arrived, there were still about ten minutes before the premiere was to begin. Many media and reporters gathered outside the cinema, but the red carpet was very deserted. Looking at the signature board that was already full of names, it seemed that most people had arrived early.
Song Xuanhe and Xiao Yuanmu were both wearing casual clothes that they had changed into after returning home, but since it was already winter, they were wearing coats that were well-cut, so there was nothing wrong with them.
However, a reporter who didn't know them took a few photos and then whispered, "Who are these two? Are they newcomers to Zhuangyue Media? They look pretty good, especially the one on the left. She looks amazing. I wonder if she had plastic surgery outside."
"Plastic surgery?" The reporter who recognized Song Xuanhe rolled his eyes at him. "The one on the right is the son of the Song Group. I don't know the one next to him, but look at his temperament. How can a celebrity with plastic surgery look like that? You look like a newcomer. You don't even know how to read people. Your seniors dare to bring you here. Aren't they afraid that you will offend people?"
The young reporter who spoke first felt aggrieved, but what the reporter next to him said was not wrong. He had only been in the industry for a month, and the reason he was able to come out and take pictures was because the newspaper was short of staff, otherwise it would not have been his turn.
The other reporters also heard what the reporter had just said. After taking the photo, they discussed, "Who is that man next to Young Master Song? He must be from a big family with this temperament. He might even be a person in power. I've never seen him before, so I don't know where he comes from."
"The young masters of big families are not like these stars. They are well protected by their families." A reporter sneered, "They are worth hundreds of millions when they are born. If they don't protect their privacy well when they are young, they will be kidnapped at any minute. When they grow up, they generally don't like to be in the spotlight. Don't guess. The less you have seen this kind of person, the more powerful he may be."
The people discussing the issue all agreed, except for one older reporter who frowned and muttered, "Why do I feel like he looks familiar? I feel like I've seen him somewhere before..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard someone shout, "Actor Xue is here!"
The crowd was suddenly in chaos, and all the media pointed their cameras at the young actor who had just walked onto the red carpet, with flashbulbs flashing non-stop.
After Xue Mian signed his name and walked in, the commotion outside subsided. Someone exclaimed, “I didn’t expect that Mr. Xue would be at this premiere!”
Others were also very surprised: "Actor Xue rarely appeared in the public eye after filming his last movie. This time we are really lucky. We finally have a topic to hand over!"
The newcomer was puzzled: "Didn't we just take a picture of the young master of the Song family? Doesn't he have traffic?"
The reporter who began to educate him sighed and said, "Do you think you can release those photos of Song's young master just because you took them? We all know him and he doesn't hide it, but if we publish his photos privately, we will be waiting for a letter from Song's lawyer the next day. What's more, there is an older young master whose identity we don't know around him. Publishing it will only bring trouble to us."
The newbie learned something new again, and nodded in satisfaction, saying, "So that's how it is..."
The old reporter said earnestly: "You still have a lot to learn."
…
Song Xuanhe, who was stopped by Director Huang as soon as he appeared in the cinema, had no idea what was happening outside. At this moment, he just wanted Huang Cong, who was talking incessantly, to shut up.
"I have already started filming this movie, Mr. Song. Believe me, this movie will definitely be a big hit and will not disappoint you. This movie is both commercially successful and has profound meaning. I think it won't be a big problem to get a nomination, but as for winning an award, I still have to..."
"Xue Mian is here..."
The sound of whispering behind interrupted Huang Cong's words. Song Xuanhe also pretended to be very surprised and turned to look at Xue Mian who walked in.
After seeing this, I found it quite interesting.
Although Xue Mian became famous at a young age and won the Best Actor award at the age of 23, and it was not an award like Liu Xu's which was not very valuable in domestic events, but one of the three most valuable gold cups. However, he did not show any pride and was humble even when facing the staff.
As he walked over from behind, he always smiled and patiently faced all the staff members who talked to him. Even if someone accidentally bumped into him, he would gently say "be careful". It can be seen that his self-control and patience are indeed very good.
However, his seat was arranged in the middle of the second row, but he apologized to the staff, "I am friends with Master Song and Mr. Xiao, and I came here to discuss something with Director Huang. I wonder if you can help me change my seat so that I can sit in the second row."
When the staff heard Xue Mian's gentle voice, they were very excited but still a little hesitant: "Xue Emperor, I also want to help you change seats, but the seats have already been arranged. I need to confirm whether the person sitting in the second row is willing to exchange seats with you. Only if someone agrees, can I help you change seats."
"Of course." Xue Mian said elegantly, "It doesn't matter if you don't agree. I'll talk to Director Huang after the premiere. Don't worry about it."
The staff naturally did not make it difficult, because everyone sitting there heard what Xue Mian said to him. The young actor sitting next to Xiao Yuanmu quickly stood up and gave him his seat, as if it was his honor to have Xue Mian sit in his seat. He happily invited Xue Mian to sit down, and then he went to the first row.
To be honest, even if Xue Mian didn't have the status, the little actor would be happy to go to the front row. After all, that row was occupied by the creators and the director, so he would naturally be willing to sit there. Besides, he could also do a favor for the movie emperor, which was quite worthwhile.
"Mr. Song, Mr. Xiao." At this time, Xue Mian had already walked to the seat next to Xiao Yuanmu, and smiled politely: "We meet again."
Song Xuanhe glanced at him and said with a curled lip, "I didn't know that Mr. Xue and I were already friends."
Xue Mian remained calm and smiled gently, "Because I have always wanted to make friends with Young Master Song and Mr. Xiao, I took the liberty to say that I am your friend. I hope you don't mind."
Song Xuanhe certainly didn't mind, but Xiao Yuanmu beside him frowned slightly.
Xue Mian was always paying attention to Xiao Yuanmu, so he naturally saw his expression. His eyes dimmed slightly, but he still smiled and said, "It's been a long time since we last met. Mr. Xiao has become even more handsome."
Xiao Yuanmu nodded indifferently and said nothing.
Xue Mian did not approach him to complain, but instead said to Song Xuanhe through Xiao Yuanmu: "Master Song, I heard that you invested in two movies directed by Huang. Are you planning to enter the film and television industry?"
Xue Mian, who is always gentle and polite to others, does not speak in a tactful way. When Song Xuanhe expressed that he was not familiar with him, he even directly asked about the career direction, which strangers should not talk about. However, his voice was gentle and polite, and every move he made while speaking was elegant, which did not make people feel abrupt at all.
"No." Song Xuanhe glanced at Huang Cong who came over and said, "It's just a casual investment."
Huang Cong had dealt with Song Xuanhe several times because of the movie. He knew that he was not as aloof and difficult to talk to as people said. He just didn't like beating around the bush. So he gradually changed his initial respectful and fawning attitude, and occasionally made a few jokes. At this time, he smiled and interrupted, "Mr. Song has a keen eye for talent. He took a fancy to the two scripts I was going to shoot at first sight. When I make money for him, he might have this plan."
"Oh?" Xue Mian asked with a smile, "I also heard that Director Huang received two very good scripts. One is already being filmed, and the other is still in preparation. I wonder if I will be honored enough to receive an invitation to audition."
Huang Cong was so surprised that his breathing became heavy. It took him a while to react and said, "Really? Actor Xue is going to take over the movie I want to film?"
Xue Mian nodded: "To be honest, I've read the script you took on before and have always been interested in it. It's just that there is no director to shoot it, and it's difficult for me to put together a crew on my own, so I'm very happy to hear that you took it on."
Huang Cong immediately became excited and started discussing with Xue Mian the shooting techniques that were planned to be used in the script. He was so happy that he danced with joy. Xue Mian was also very good at communicating with people. Every word he said just hit the spot for Director Huang. After a while, Director Huang, who had just called him Actor Xue, started calling him Little Xue.
Song Xuanhe and Xiao Yuanmu, who were sitting in the center of the conversation, had to listen to them talking back and forth. Although they couldn't be said to be annoyed, they didn't feel very comfortable either.
Xue Mian also realized at this time that he was too absorbed in the conversation with Huang Cong. He glanced at Song Xuanhe and Xiao Yuanmu apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, Director Huang and I forgot about other things when we talked about work. I'm sorry to bother you."
Song Xuanhe didn't believe that Xue Mian, who had a very good reputation in the circle and was said to be very sociable at a young age, would make such a low-level mistake. Moreover, when he was talking to Director Huang just now, every time he said something very profound or unique, his eyes would glance at Xiao Yuanmu intentionally or unintentionally. Song Xuanhe was not blind and naturally knew his intentions.
However, Xiao Yuanmu, who was being watched by Xue Mian the whole time, seemed to be completely unaware of Xue Mian's gaze. He stared at the screen in front of him with a calm expression from beginning to end. After hearing Xue Mian's apology, he said calmly without any emotion: "The movie has already started. You not only disturbed us, but also the other people watching the movie."
The author has something to say: Xiao Yuanmu: Am I a man who would make mistakes in front of my wife?
Song Xuanhe: Thank you to all the brothers and sisters, aunts, mothers, girlfriends, wives and fans for their support. I will work harder in the future so that everyone will love me more!
Xiao Yuanmu: What are girlfriend and wife fans?
Song Xuanhe: I attract people who like me because of my boyfriend's power. I attract fans by my own ability. Do you have any objection?
Xiao Yuanmu: I only need one husband.
