The night was dark and the lights were dim.

Sima Xi pinched the manuscript and walked out of the hall quickly, Feng Junzi's eyes rolled, he arched his hand at the more than ten people in the room, said goodbye at random, and followed Sima Xi out.

"Young Master Xi, is there something urgent?" Turning around a verandah, Feng Junzi saw that there was no one around, so he took two quick steps and came behind Sima Xi.

"It's not that the fifth child is causing trouble!" Sima Xi shook the manuscript in his hand, and the smile on his face was long gone.

"What does it have to do with this?" asked the Wind Gentleman.

"You borrow me a quiet room first, I have something to report to Da Lang. Sima Xi said.

"Well said, well said. The wind gentleman's face changed slightly.

He is the master here, and finding a room is just a gesture, so he found a clean room at random, took Sima Xi in, and turned around to leave.

"Don't go yet, listen to the side, there will be something to trouble you later. Sima Xi said.

"Good. The Wind Gentleman nodded, and found a chair to sit across from him.

Sima Xi thought for a while, took out his mobile phone, dialed a phone and went out, "Di... Drop..."After two long tones, the phone was connected on the other side.

"Xiaoxi, what's the matter at such a late hour?" asked the person on the other side in a deep voice.

"Big brother, I encountered an urgent matter just now, and I need to ask you to decide. Sima Xi said.

"Say it. ”

"Big brother, I remember that during the family annual meeting two years ago, the second uncle mentioned that several elders in the family planned something in Liuhe Mansion in Jingzhou, if you remember it well, it should be in the area of Laoshan Town, I don't know if there is such a thing?"

"There is this matter, the fifth brother has already done it, and he has come forward to inject capital into a copper mine, first make preliminary arrangements, and then start to do it when the time is ripe. ”

"Dare to ask Big Brother, where has this matter been done now?"

"It's almost done in the early stage, and the time is almost up, and you're ready to start in the near future, why did you suddenly ask about it?"

"Big brother, the fifth brother didn't do a clean job and caused some trouble. ”

"Well, what's going on?"

"I had a party today in Jianye Mansion and met with the editor-in-chief of a publishing house, and he took the first draft of a new book, written by a well-known author, about the social documentary, talking about the copper mine controlled by the fifth brother. ”

"What did the book say?"

"The book doesn't mention what our family is planning, but mainly about the violence in the mine and the non-payment of wages to the miners. ”

"Oh. ”

"It's not a big deal, and it has nothing to do with us, what I'm worried about is that if this book is released, it will inevitably attract the attention of the outside world, and the government will also pay attention to this mine. ”

"You're right, the fifth brother is a little anxious in this matter, and the methods are a bit rough, what are you going to do?"

"I plan to suppress this book first and prevent him from publishing it, and the rest will be arranged by my eldest brother. ”

"Can you suppress it? Now that information is very developed, it is not as easy as before. ”

"I'll try it first, there's always a way. ”

"You do it first, I'll tell the fifth brother, let him pay attention and clean up the whole food. ”

"Yes. ”

"That's it. ”

Drip... Drip...

Sima Xi hung up the phone, his expression relaxed, and he turned to Feng Junzi and said, "This time it's a family matter, please help Feng Jun and help me press it." ”

Feng Junzi smiled: "It's a trivial matter, not enough to worry about." ”

......

Lin Xu stood awkwardly in the corner of the room with a glass of red wine, no one here was willing to pay attention to him anymore.

Lin Xu felt very wronged, at least he thought that Sima Xi's sudden departure had nothing to do with him, could it be that the manuscript made Sima Xi unhappy, but that book did not involve specific people, nor did it have any sensitive content, how could it have such a big effect, I am afraid that Sima Xi really remembered something urgent, so he left suddenly.

However, he handed out the manuscript first, Sima Xi left later, even if there is no connection between the two, others will be angry with him because they have less opportunity to contact Sima Xi, although it is impossible to show it directly, but there is still a faint rejection.

For this kind of rejection, Lin Xu has no way at all, when he first arrives, he will endure being ignored, if he is not interesting, he will force himself to go up, make others unhappy, and it will be even more difficult to turn over in the future.

Lin Xu tried to ask Uncle Zeng for help, but Uncle Zeng avoided it.

Uncle Zeng has already told Lin Xu that there is nothing he can do, the protagonists present are bigwigs in the political and business circles, in addition, the so-called literati in the cultural world or stars in the entertainment industry can only play an embellishment role.

In fact, Lin Xu made these bigwigs unhappy, and Uncle Zeng's only thought was how to break off the relationship with this broom star instead of continuing to sit together.

Just when Lin Xu was bored, a waiter suddenly came to him and said in a low voice: "Mr. Lin, Mr. Sima wants to see you, I wonder if it is convenient for you?"

The sound is not too loud or too small, not too noticeable, but also audible to a circle of people around.

Lin Xu couldn't help but be stunned, paused slightly, and then realized that the waiter was talking to him, and hurriedly said, "Convenient, convenient!"

"Please follow me. The waiter said with a smile.

"Good!

After speaking, the waiter led the way in front, Lin Xu followed behind, and the two left the house one after the other, leaving behind a whisper, I don't know why Lin Xu attracted Sima Xi's attention.

A few minutes later, Lin Xu came to a secluded room and saw Sima Xi and Feng Junzi, who had been waiting here for a long time.

"Sima Gongzi, Mr. Feng, I'm really sorry!" Lin Xu hurriedly leaned up and tried to shake hands and apologize.

"What are you sorry for?" Sima Xi's face sank.

"I... I..."Lin Xu suddenly became nervous, and there was some garlic in his mouth.

"Haha, just kidding!" Sima Xi suddenly laughed out loud, holding Lin Xu's hand hard and shaking it.

"Huh... Ha..."Lin Xu was sweating nervously and laughed awkwardly.

"Mr. Lin, don't be nervous, Mr. Xi has always been like this, he only jokes with friends, and he is always polite to enemies. The Wind Gentleman interjected.

"Yes, yes. Lin Xu hurriedly said.

"Mr. Lin, we hit it off at first sight, I don't talk nonsense, I invited Mr. Lin here today, just to make friends with Mr. Lin, I wonder if Mr. Lin is willing to reward me with this face?"

"I can't ask for it, I can't ask for it!" Lin Xu hurriedly said.

"Mr. Lin is really a cheerful person, and he has lived up to the good intentions of Mr. Xi. The Wind Gentleman smiled.

Lin Xu didn't know what to say, so he had to smile.

He is not a three-year-old child, he can sit in the position of editor-in-chief, he still has the ability, and he is also very familiar with the world.

Although he didn't know what kind of character this Sima Xi was, but the other party's status was much higher than him, but he was willing to hand it over, he must have asked him to do something, and now he didn't want anything else, he just hoped that what Sima Xi asked him to do would not be too difficult.

Lin Xu knew the truth of "stretching out his head with a knife, shrinking his head is also a knife", coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and said: "Thanks to the fact that Mr. Xi looks up to him so much, Lin is also fortunate to have three lives, if Mr. Xi is useful, even if he is told, Lin will definitely go all out." ”

Sima Xi was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Lin Xu to be so straightforward, but this was also in his arms, and he smiled at the moment: "Speaking of which, there is just something that needs Mr. Lin's help." ”
