dangerous intimacy

With Chu Haoran's 5000 million funds, our film has started shooting again, and the crew is full of optimism and positive atmosphere.

And I also changed from the assistant director of the crew to the assistant producer of the crew, and my position in the company also changed from a makeup stylist to an office director.At that moment, I truly felt the great magic power of capital and the great energy and value it brought to life.

Since then, I have become the coordinator between the company, the crew and Haobang, and I often become a frequent visitor of Haobang because of some investment business and agreements.Every time I go, I will naturally take the initiative to sit in Chu Haoran's office. Apart from being grateful, I always feel that chatting with him is also a good enjoyment.

Although he was a businessman, he became talkative and his eyes sparkled as soon as he talked about art and literature.I saw a Chu Haoran that others may never be able to see, which made my respect and affection for him grow day by day.

However, apart from pure admiration, I never had any unreasonable thoughts about our relationship at that time, and always regarded him as a mentor and a good friend I met in my life, although I can also learn from him and me. In the atmosphere of not talking, I feel that he has different trust and closeness to me.

Three months later, our movie finished as scheduled.

The company held a grand wrap-up dinner for the crew, and invited Chu Haoran to attend in person.Chu Haoran promised at the dinner party that if the movie sells well, he will consider signing a long-term cooperation agreement with our company, which makes everyone look forward to the movie's release.

However, the reality is often cruel.

After our film was released, it was well-received and received rave reviews from film critics, but the box office was far from satisfactory. After one month of release, even one-third of the investment was not recovered.

My heart is empty like a seat in a movie theater.Most importantly, I started to feel guilty towards Chu Haoran, and I didn't even know how to face him.You know, I promised him swearingly at the time that I would never let him lose money.Therefore, I have been afraid to call him, and I dare not take the initiative to go to Haobang to meet him again.

Another month passed, and our films began to be pulled from the set.

The defeat is basically settled, I can no longer escape, so I had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to see Chu Haoran.

When I walked into his office, I kept my head down, not daring to look at his expression, until after I sat down, I mustered up the courage to look up at him: "President Chu, don't worry, I keep my word, The house has already been listed, and the buyer of the car has been contacted. But...it is still far from the estimated loss of your investment, but I will definitely find a way to make up for it!"

"What solution can you come up with?" Chu Haoran's expression was very calm.

"I... I... I will use my salary and savings to pay you back slowly in the future, is that okay?"

Chu Haoran smiled: "Then I guess I won't be able to wait until the day I'm alive."

I lowered my head in shame, and ruthlessly pulled the corner of my clothes, speechless.

After a long silence, Chu Haoran suddenly said: "I can give you an idea."

I raised my head suddenly: "Oh? What idea?"

Chu Haoran smiled lightly: "Come to my company."

"Ah?!" I froze.

"At least the salary is several times higher than your current salary, isn't it?"

After I confirmed that he was not joking, I began to struggle in my heart and remained silent.

"I know you can't let go of art, but you have to be more realistic. You must first solve the problem of survival before you can talk about the spiritual level. You are not young, so you should have this experience, right?"

Of course, I have to admit that I have had this kind of experience and thought, and sometimes it is even unforgettable. However, it is really not an easy thing for people to make a choice many times.

Chu Haoran also seemed to see my entanglement: "I sincerely hope that you can come to Haobang to work, you should think about it carefully."

I looked up at him: "Mr. Chu, can I ask, why...why do you take a fancy to me?"

Chu Haoran smiled again: "You have rich artistic accomplishments, but you can also show persistence and resilience when facing reality. This kind of wonderful combination is not something everyone can possess."

His words warmed my heart. The so-called scholar dies for a confidant. At that moment, I no longer hesitated and made a choice: "I can meet a confidant like Mr. Chu. What am I not satisfied with? I accept it." Your suggestion."

So, I gave up the path of art and became a white-collar worker of Haobang Company.Chu Haoran arranged for me to be the deputy director of the public relations department, responsible for external coordination of public relations, as well as the promotion of the company's image and products.This job is quite suitable for me, and it can also make me full of passion for work, so my work performance is not bad.

In addition to the sense of accomplishment at work, coming to Haobang Company and being able to become a middle-level cadre, the material rewards are naturally not the same.At that time, my monthly salary was about [-], which was considered a high-income earner.

Therefore, my gratitude to Chu Haoran is even stronger, but at the same time, I always feel guilty towards him. Every time I see him, my heart will not be at peace.

I found a chance to meet him when there was no one in his office, and I put a bank card on his desk as soon as I entered.

"What is this?" He looked at me suspiciously.

"Mr. Chu, there are 300 million in this card, which is the down payment I promised to compensate you for your investment losses."

Chu Haoran was obviously startled: "Where did you get so much money?"

"I sold my house and car, and my salary after I came to Haobang, except for daily expenses, I have stored in my card."

Chu Haoran stared blankly at me for a long time: "I... really saw you right."

I smiled: "This amount of money may not be able to fulfill my promise, but don't worry, I will work hard and try to pay back everything."

Chu Haoran leaned back in his chair and stared at me for a long time, then he also smiled: "Take the card back."

"President Chu..."

"You have been in Haobang for a few months, and you should already understand that any investment will have risks. It was my own choice to invest in your movie, and it has nothing to do with anyone. The reason why I didn't tell you this in advance is because I wanted to Let's see what you can do."

He leaned forward: "Meiqian, for me, a loss of 2000 or [-] million is nothing. Meeting a woman like you is a good life experience. This is something that money can't bring me." , understand?"

"But...I..."

"Okay, put the card away. By the way, you sold the house, where do you live?"

"Our family is temporarily renting a house to live in."

Chu Haoran nodded: "Take the card and go out first."

I had no choice but to put away my bank card, turned around and left.

The next day, the human resources department of the company sent me a notice stating that I was appointed as the vice president of the newly established planning department. This immediately aroused cheers and envy from the colleagues in the office, who congratulated me one after another. All the good words were exhausted, even a little flattering.

In this way, only four months after I came to Haobang, I became one of the top executives of Haobang Company, with an annual salary of 60 yuan and a special car. My vanity was unprecedentedly satisfied.

One day after taking office a week later, Wang Yaping, Chu Haoran's secretary, came to inform me that the president was waiting for me at the gate of the company and asked me to go out with him.I got into the president's private car that I was listening to at the door, and found that Chu Haoran was the only one in the car besides the driver. He looked at me with a slightly different expression than usual.

"Mr. Chu, where are we going? Do we need to prepare anything?" I asked subconsciously.

"Don't ask too much, just follow me."

Half an hour later, the car stopped in a residential area, which looked like a high-end residential area.I followed Chu Haoran out of the car, and he led me all the way into a new building, then went straight up to the ninth floor, took out the key, opened the door and walked in.

After I followed in, I found that this is a duplex house, which has been finely decorated and looks very livable and comfortable.

"Meiqian, what do you think of this house?"

"Hmm! It's very nice, transparent, well-lit, and the layout is reasonable and comfortable."

Chu Haoran smiled: "I knew you would be satisfied."

"Mr. Chu, is this our company's real estate?"

"Yes, we have shares."

"Then... You brought me here, do you want us to make a publicity project?"

Chu Haoran smiled mysteriously, went to the living room closet and took out a bouquet of flowers, and walked up to him: "Meiqian, happy birthday."

I was startled: "You... you actually know that my birthday is today?"

Chu Haoran smiled without answering, and handed me the bouquet.

"Thank you, Mr. Chu, you are really caring." I was indeed touched.

"Also, there is a birthday present for you."

"No no no Mr. Chu, I'm already very touched that you can remember my birthday."

Chu Haoran smiled: "Who would wish someone a happy birthday without giving a gift." Then, he took out a bunch of keys from his pocket and handed them to me: "The gift I gave you is this house. "

I was stunned for a moment: "Chu...Mr. Chu, stop joking."

"When did you ever see me joking?" He looked at me seriously.

"But... you... such an expensive gift, I... how can I accept it?"

Chu Haoran put the key into my hand: "I'm afraid that you will feel burdened, so the property right of the house is under my name for the time being, and you can live for free for as many years as you want."

"But... I... still can't accept it..." My heart trembled slightly.

Chu Haoran smiled indifferently: "Okay, today is your birthday, I will give you an afternoon off, of course, I also decided to take half a day off for myself. I have already reserved food and drinks, and we will celebrate your birthday in this new house today ,How about it?"

I stared blankly at him, feeling indescribably complicated.I'm not stupid, so I can naturally understand his intentions.To be honest, I was moved by him, and there was a kind of flattered surprise, but I still kept a clear mind, knowing that he and I both have families. Although I have heard a lot of scandals about rich people, but At this moment, I suddenly panicked.

"What? Do you have other arrangements?" Chu Haoran looked at me and asked.

In fact, my husband and child have already agreed to celebrate my birthday, but for some reason, I answered two words without thinking: "No."

"That's good, do you agree with my arrangement?"

"It's my honor." I try not to overcomplicate things, perhaps, this is a kind of sympathy from a boss to an admired employee.So, I try to show gratitude and cooperation.

Soon, Chu Haoran's custom-made dinner arrived.

We set the table together, and it can be seen that Chu Haoran is in a good mood. It was the first time I saw him like a housekeeper, happily busy with these insignificant things.Maybe it was affected by his emotions, my mood also began to relax, and I gradually became happier.

I really couldn't see that Chu Haoran was still a romantic man before. In addition to the sumptuous meals, he also ordered cakes, red candles, and even balloons.He excitedly asked me to inflate the balloon together, and then strung it into a heart shape with a rope, just like a child.

I seem to have forgotten all my worries, sat on the ground with him, happy like a child...
