The day after the party, Tong Yu was lying in bed and wanted to sleep for a while, when he received a call from Li Man. Hanging up the phone, Tong Yu immediately got up from the bed, and he almost forgot about such an important matter.

He got dressed, washed up briefly, and hurried into the kitchen. After opening the refrigerator and throwing away some expired food, Tong Yu put in some vegetables and fruits that he had bought in advance yesterday, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

If my mother finds out that she hasn't eaten properly, it will inevitably be another meal.

After a simple snack, Tong Yu lay on the sofa and played with his mobile phone for a while, and the pager at the door rang.

Tong Yu got up, said a few words to the security guard, and stood at the door waiting. A few minutes later, there was a sound of talking outside the door, Tong Yu quickly opened the door, and Li Man was standing at the door with Liu Yarong.

"Why are you standing here? Liu Yarong glanced at him and slowly entered the house.

Li Man didn't speak, she lowered her head and smiled, she could guess that Tong Yu had been in a hurry since he got up.

The three of them sat on the sofa for a while, and sure enough, Liu Yarong stood up and began to check the clues at home. This is an "entertainment" activity that will be there every time they meet, and Tong Yu is not disgusted, whether it is praise or complaining, it makes Liu Yarong feel that he also has a sense of existence in this family.

"I didn't fold the quilt again!" Liu Yarong's voice came out of the bedroom, with a hint of doting.

"I have to cover it at night!" Tong Yu also spared no effort to call back.

Li Man laughed: "Sometimes I don't think you're a Virgo at all." ”

"Not every Virgo has a habit of cleanliness. Tong Yu rolled his eyes.

After checking a few rooms, Liu Yarong didn't find anything, and finally walked to the refrigerator to the place where Tong Yu's sore feet were most likely to be caught in the day.

Liu Yarong rummaged through the refrigerator, didn't know what she saw, and shook it. After a while, she frowned as if she was thinking about something, and slowly closed the refrigerator door.

"How is it, detective, have you found anything?" Tong Yu looked at his mother with a smile.

"Count on you, kid doing well lately. Liu Yarong didn't say anything more, and sat on the sofa to rest.

"By the way, Auntie, Tong Yu has an announcement in the evening, and he will have to leave in a while. Li Man looked at his watch, "I called the driver, Ah Wei will accompany you at night, and I will accompany Auntie?"

"Hmm. Tong Yu nodded, as if he remembered something, and looked at Liu Yarong: "By the way, there is a newly opened Chaoshan hot pot recently, you can eat it at night." ”

"Go ahead and leave us alone. Liu Yarong smiled and waved her hand, Tong Yu's meticulous appearance always made her feel old.

"Good. Tong Yu nodded, got up and put on his hat, put on a mask at the door, and went out quietly.

After sitting for a while, Liu Yarong looked at Li Man seriously: "Xiaoman, you honestly tell your aunt, is Xiaoyu in love?"

Li Man was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that Liu Yarong turned over the refrigerator, lowered his head and laughed.

After a while, Li Man raised his head and slowly opened his mouth.

Entertain the office right away.

Mr. Xia sat in the swivel chair, with his back to the table, looking at the tall building outside the floor-to-ceiling window, holding a precious cigar in his hand, and the smoke curling up, looking extremely mysterious in the sunlight.

Ai Xin sat at the table, looking at his back, and didn't speak, only the corners of his mouth were slightly raised on his whole face, waiting for the other party to speak first.

After another five minutes, Xia Zhengyu slowly turned around and looked at Ai Xin with a calm face.

He turned against the light, making it impossible to see the expression on his face. But Ai Xin knew that most of them were mixed with expressions of disdain, disdain, and scrutiny, which she had seen in many places.

"Miss Ai?" Xia Zhengyu slowly opened his mouth, which was different from Ai Xin's imagination, his voice had a hint of simplicity, and it sounded very comfortable, and he couldn't hear any accent.

"It's me. Ai Xin smiled, didn't ask questions, and nodded towards Xia Zhengyu.

Xia Zhengyu didn't seem to expect such an answer, and was silent for a few seconds before he spoke again: "I've heard a great name for a long time." ”

"Me too. Ai Xin still maintained the smile just now, looking at him neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Oh?" Xia Zhengyu snuffed out the cigar in his hand, gently put it aside, and looked at Ai Xin with interest: "My name?"

"Yes, Professor Yu often mentions you, he is my graduate supervisor. ”

Professor Yu?Xia Zhengyu quickly recalled in his mind that the revelations on the Internet about Ai Xin's academic qualifications were not false at all, and when he saw that this was his primary school sister, he didn't believe it.

"Hehe, what did Professor Yu say about me?" Xia Zhengyu hooked the corners of his mouth and looked at Ai Xin.

After a few seconds of silence, Ai Xin slowly spoke: "Role model." ”

"Huh. Xia Zhengyu let out a short laugh, which was a neutral word for him, and he thought that Ai Xin would definitely say something good about Professor Yu's name.

Ai Xin stared at the ashtray on the table, and did not continue to speak, but Xia Zhengyu seemed to be passive.

"Did Miss Ai guess why I contacted you?" Xia Zhengyu stared at Ai Xin with a slight face.

"Can't guess. Ai Xin shrugged and looked at him seriously.

Xia Zhengyu sneered in his heart, an ordinary person had a scandal with a popular student, and he was summoned by the president of the company after only a month, how could he not guess anything.

"Miss Ai, do you have any plans to make your debut?"

"Just call me Ai Xin. She smiled and shook her head, "Not really." ”

"Oh, as an ordinary person, isn't there any pressure to play with so many artists?" Xia Zhengyu raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a smile.

"Not really. Ai Xin shook her head again, revealing a simple smile: "A few years ago, they are also classmates in the acting department, vocal music department, and directing department. ”

"Oh, you can see through it. Xia Zhengyu smiled, "Then, why are you so close to Jinghai?"

Obviously he was close to me! Ai Xin sighed speechlessly in his heart, but he still resisted the urge to complain. After all, Jinghai treats her well, and she doesn't need to push him out at such a time. Secondly, she felt that even if she told the truth, Xia Zhengyu would not listen.

When he was still in school, the word Ai Xin heard the most about Xia Zhengyu was "insidious". The second-highest adjective is "pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger".

Thinking about it this way, he is a little similar to Xia Zhengyu. Thinking of this, Ai Xin couldn't help but bow his head and laugh softly.

Facing Ai Xin, who lowered his head and snickered, Xia Zhengyu was not annoyed, and then spoke: "If you don't want to make your debut, then what does Miss Ai want?"

"Me?" Ai Xin raised his head, looked at Xia Zhengyu blankly, and pointed at himself: "What do I want?"

Xia Zhengyu nodded and looked at her condescendingly.

Ai Xin tilted his head and thought about it, then he gushed endlessly: "Well, what I want most is world peace." It's hard though, so what I'm trying to do lately is not to lose sleep and gain a little weight by the way. I saw a new pair of shoes in a magazine last week, and I really wanted it. ”

Ai Xin looked at Xia Zhengyu as he spoke, and finally saw a trace of gloom on his face, and laughed: "Mr. Xia, it's not so much what I want, it's better to say what you want, right?"

Xia Zhengyu cleared his throat: "Do you think I asked you to negotiate conditions?"

"Nope. Ai Xin immediately shook his head, "I don't have the qualifications to talk about conditions at all." ”

"It's good that you know. Xia Zhengyu leaned back in the swivel chair, revealing a relaxed look.

"So, what do you need me to do?"

"It's simple. Xia Zhengyu's fingers lightly tapped twice on the table before he continued to speak: "With Jinghai." ”

didn't think that as soon as the words fell, Ai Xin lowered his head and laughed again.

Xia Zhengyu was not the best student during his time in school. Because of his chubby figure and ordinary appearance, he has been rejected many times by girls in the same school. Needless to say, he himself knows very well that many people have laughed at Xia Zhengyu behind his back. So when he successfully climbed to the position of president, the first thing he did was to return to his alma mater to donate.

Although he is now a goal that many people can't reach in their lifetime, his sensitive and fragile heart has become extremely strong. But Ai Xin in front of him suddenly reminded him of those beautiful girls when he was in school. In the face of his immature and sincere confession, they did not accept it, nor did they refuse, but just snickered quietly with their heads lowered and like Ai Xin in groups of threes and twos. No matter how much he asked, the girls wouldn't say what they were laughing at. In their eyes, Xia Zhengyu is just a toad.

After laughing for a while, Ai Xin saw the corners of Xia Zhengyu's mouth trembling slightly, so she stopped laughing in time.

"Mr. Xia, this request is not simple at all. Ai Xin frowned and shook her head, "I can't do it." ”

"You have concerns? I can solve them. ”

"Concerns?" Ai Xin smiled, "No. I just can't do it. ”

"The world...... There's nothing you can't do. Xia Zhengyu laughed, "The conditions can be discussed, and the concerns can be solved." ”

"Mr. Xia. Ai Xin lost a little patience, but there was still a smile on his face: "There are some things, I really can't do it." ”

Facing Ai Xin, who has been refusing, Xia Zhengyu seems to be a little angry. He was silent for a few seconds, then his gaze returned to Ai Xin's face, and his voice had become a little cold.

"Miss Ai, this circle is so big, there is no need to be principled in everything. ”

Ai Xin was stunned for a moment, and his words already carried an obvious threat. Judging from the previous scandal, she thought that Jinghai was already half an outcast. Unexpectedly, Xia Zhengyu took dozens of minutes to solve this matter.

"Mr. Xia, we all come out of the same education system, and when it comes to the axis, we are all the same axis. Ai Xin showed a relaxed smile and looked at Xia Zhengyu quite kindly, "If this is put forward, I will definitely consider it." But now, I really can't do it. ”

Xia Zhengyu looked at Ai Xin as if he didn't react.

After two seconds of silence, Ai Xin opened his mouth again: "I have to give your face." Forgiving and forgiving, this is my fault, and you will be useful to me in the future, just ask. After speaking, he showed an apologetic smile and looked at Xia Zhengyu with some flattery.

The office fell into a deathly silence again, and the sunlight hit the desk obliquely, making Xia Zhengyu's cheeks a little red. Ai Xin did not avoid his gaze, as if he wanted to show his sincere sincerity.

Ai Xin silently counted the numbers in his heart, and when he counted to eighty-six, Xia Zhengyu finally opened his mouth again.

"Miss Ai has worked hard today, so I won't send it. ”

"Hmm. Ai Xin nodded, quickly stood up, and bowed to Xia Zhengyu: "Then I'll go first." ”

"See you next time. Xia Zhengyu sat on the swivel chair and waved his hand with a smile.

Ai Xin got out of the elevator, walked out of the office building where he was entertained, and turned all the way to the street. After making sure that no one was following him, Ai Xin opened his mouth and gasped for breath. Her legs were a little weak, leaning limply against the masonry wall, her heart still beating fast.

She knows that this world is not the world it used to be, and she is not the same person she used to be, and many things can no longer be fooled by a mouth and a little cleverness. She had already heard many stories about Xia Zhengyu, and she was glad that she had never needed to contact him. When she received a call from Xia Zhengyu's secretary, she felt as if her heartbeat had missed a beat.

I don't know why, she suddenly felt that she wanted to see Tong Yu very much, and couldn't help but take out her mobile phone and dial it. The phone rang for a while, but no one answered. She hung up the phone and sent a WeChat message.

"I want to see you. ”

She looked at her phone for a moment and put it back in her bag. My heart is empty, and I always feel that there is a sense of foreboding. After hesitating for a while, she took out her mobile phone again and wanted to call Tao Li.

"Dudu Dudu~Dudu Dudu~" Ai Xin held the mobile phone, and before he could dial it out, the mobile phone rang by itself.

She was stunned for a moment, and picked it up without hesitation.

"Uh-huh, uh-huh, now?" Ai Xin held the phone and was silent for a few seconds: "Okay, then I'll come over now." ”

Hanging up the phone, she frowned for some reason and walked towards the parking lot.

When I got home after dinner, it was already past nine o'clock. Ai Xin lay weakly on the sofa, thinking about his inexplicable day. Jiuguan ran out of the house, flew onto the sofa, and rubbed it against Ai Xin's hand.

"Hungry?" Ai Xin picked up the nine tubes and walked to the refrigerator, and sure enough, the food bowl was empty.

"You, you, you are so happy to eat and sleep every day. Ai Xin poured the cat food into the food bowl and looked at the nine tubes helplessly.

"Meow" Jiuguan let out a disdainful cry, expressed his protest, and immediately buried his face in the food bowl and enjoyed it.

"It's broken. Ai Xin looked up at the wall clock on the wall, frowned and ran into the study, sat at the desk and turned on the computer. She opened the webpage to check yesterday's earnings, quickly opened the document again, and crackled on the keyboard.

"Half-past nine, two and a half hours, too late......" she muttered to herself, her fingers dancing rapidly, and in an instant several lines of text appeared in the blank document.

Jiuguan was full, curled up on the sofa, and lay comfortably on his stomach. Ai Xin's phone lit up again and again in the bag, and from time to time it displayed a warning of low battery. After repeating for more than ten minutes, the lights were finally weakly extinguished, and the screen went completely black.
