After I was kicked out by the benefactor

I am reluctant now, but I was not very willing before.Xu Shuming thought, he avoided Zhong Wentian's gaze looking directly into his eyes, and the waiter just in time brought two cups of coffee and put them in front of them.

It seems that love words have no effect on Xu Shuming.Zhong Wentian didn't feel discouraged, he thanked the waiter who brought him coffee, then picked up the glass in front of him, raised his head and said to the waiter: "Please pour me a glass of warm water."

After hearing what he said, the waiter nodded and said yes, picked up the cup Zhong Wentian handed him, and quickly poured a cup of warm water over.

"Sir, please use it."

Zhong Wentian smiled and nodded, thanking him again.

Xu Shuming didn't know, so he glanced at him, but unexpectedly, Zhong Wentian pushed the cup filled with warm water to his face.

"Drink this first. Since you don't like fruit juice, you can always accept boiling water." Zhong Wentian looked at him and said.

"..." Xu Shuming held some hot coffee in his hand, and met his gaze speechlessly without speaking.

He really couldn't find anything to say to Zhong Wentian. In daily life, he was not the kind of person who liked to reject others' kind intentions. He repeatedly rejected Zhong Wentian's unprincipled kindness, which also made Xu Shuming feel a little embarrassed.

Zhong Wentian didn't seem to be able to see the embarrassment on Xu Shuming's face.Don't embarrass Xu Shuming, it's Zhong Wentian himself who is embarrassing. Of course Zhong Wentian chose the former.

He said softly: "Why insist on these trivial things with me, aren't you thirsty?"

After thinking for a while, he said again: "Even if you drink the juice or water I poured for you, do you want to start looking at me? There is no such reason in the world. Since I will not force you to do something because of it, why do you Do you want to embarrass yourself? It’s just a glass of water, it’s really nothing.”

Zhong Wentian blocked the right words and irony, and even retreated. Xu Shuming felt that no matter what he wanted to refute, it seemed a bit hypocritical.

I can't say that I'm afraid that once I accept your kindness, I'll let you take advantage of it, right?

In fact, Zhong Wentian has not shown any intention so far.

If he really said it, it seemed that Xu Shuming was acting affectionately.

At this point, it was Xu Shuming himself who was in trouble riding a tiger.Xu Shuming was a little tangled in his heart, he had always choked on Zhong Wentian with his words, but he didn't expect that he would be forced to retreat by Zhong Wentian one day.It seems that people really cannot be complacent, and at the same time they cannot ignore the subjective initiative of others.

While reaching for the glass, he lifted the glass to his mouth and took a sip, while struggling in his heart, Zhong Wentian murmured what he wanted to say.

Zhong Wentian's posture was so low, and he talked to him in a friendly voice, it really made him unable to say anything that hurt him.

If Zhong Wentian is as normal as before, Xu Shuming doesn't have to worry about it.He has the ability to make the two of them break up in three sentences.

However, looking at Zhong Wentian's appearance that I can accept what you say about me, Xu Shuming felt uncomfortable instead.

He didn't know why he was uncomfortable, and his tone became stiff along with his temper, "Did you come to me to talk about work with me?"

After the voice came out, he realized that his tone was so bad, but he couldn't show an expression of annoyance under Zhong Wentian's gaze, so he could only keep a cold face.

Zhong Wentian didn't think there was anything wrong. Ever since Xu Shuming felt that he was of little use value, he always felt that he was not a good person. His attitude had always been bad, either with cross eyebrows or cold eyes. He was almost used to it.

Xu Shuming, who was used to gentleness before, is now used to Xu Shuming who is bad-tempered.

Habit is really a scary thing, Zhong Wentian thought in his heart, or, it's not a habit, but what Xu Shuming likes, what does he like?

Zhong Wentian laughed, "Are you willing to chat with me only if you have a work connection?"

What?Xu Shuming couldn't understand his logic.

Zhong Wentian's smile deepened a bit, and his eyes were full of smiles, "I'm not used to talking about love with my work partners, and I don't like talking about work when I'm dating. But now think about it, if I could meet you , it seems that there is nothing unacceptable."

Xu Shuming is a smart person, and Zhong Wentian is also a smart person. Xu Shuming understood the meaning of his words in an instant, and was deeply surprised.

His first reaction was that the two of them are not dating now, but then he realized that if they did not date according to Zhong Wentian's intention, it would directly become a business negotiation. In short, Zhong Wentian showed his cards Come out and let Xu Shuming choose the one he likes according to his own wishes.

And Xu Shuming understands Zhong Wentian's bottom line, work is work, he used to take care of anyone, and he would not have any conflict of interest with them.

Zhong Wentian can give them what they want, Xu Shuming wants a bright future, he arranges him to enter an ideal company, and gives him a rich and worry-free life; Yuan Chuchuan wants resources, he wants a high position, Zhong Wentian satisfies him all .

But other than that, Zhong Wentian never had long-term interests with them.

Nothing is more off-putting than a relationship of interest.

Xu Shuming's eyelashes trembled, he looked at Zhong Wentian in disbelief, Zhong Wentian took a sip of coffee, smiled and nodded at him.

"Have you made up your mind?"

What should I tell him?Xu Shuming was a little flustered. He blinked and said after a while: "I want to ask Miss Yan what she means. If you want to talk about cooperation, you can contact our publicity."

"I just want to talk to you." Zhong Wentian emphasized.

Xu Shuming frowned, threatening himself with his job, only to realize that Zhong Wentian had changed a little.

"Boss Zhong!"

Zhong Wentian saw that his expression changed a few times, as if he didn't want to talk anymore, he immediately said: "Listen to me, if you really don't want to see me, just give me a contact number of your studio."

Xu Shuming still felt that Zhong Wentian was playing tricks on him, so he drank the warm water in the glass in one gulp, and tried his best to curb the idea of ​​standing up and leaving.

"Mr. Zhong, are you sure you're not joking with me?" He paused, and then said: "If it's a job negotiation, please show your office attitude and be more serious, Mr. Zhong."

Be serious.Zhong Wentian almost rolled his eyes with a smile, he thought to himself: How could he be serious when facing you, even when you are angry, I think you are pretty.

Of course, this was what he said in his heart. Although it was sincere, Xu Shuming would definitely not appreciate it.

Xu Shuming frowned, holding back his impatience, took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to him: "Just make this call."

Why give a business card?One is that Yan Shuling really needs help, what can be more reassuring than Zhong Wentian's escort, and second, since Zhong Wentian said it was a business, Xu Shuming can't refuse Zhong Wentian for Yan Shuling without authorization.He can refuse Zhong Wentian's kindness, but the studio is not his own, everyone else has to work in this industry, he can't decide his job for others.

Zhong Wentian took the business card and held it in his hand. After flipping through it, he looked up at him and said, "Don't you have your number? What if I have a question and want to consult?"

"People from the propaganda department will answer for you." Xu Shuming said.

Zhong Wentian nodded, as if he had thought of something, and said with a smile: "You know, I want your current phone number, although I can get it from your colleague, but when the time comes, I will have to ask him Explain my relationship with you..."

It doesn't take a brain to know that if Zhong Wentian and the people at Xuanfa talk about it, the whole studio will probably come to gossip about their private lives.

Xu Shuming felt a headache, he hesitated for a while, and reported his mobile phone number.

Zhong Wentian saved it in his mobile phone with a smile, "Okay, I won't disturb your time anymore."

Xu Shuming watched Zhong Wentian stand up, with an expression of wanting to go out with him, and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart for a moment.

First, Zhong Wentian broke his promise and ran over to talk to him on his own initiative. He wanted to keep a distance before, but after refusing to drink that glass of juice, Zhong Wentian changed his mind to warm water and let him drink it. After refusing the idea of ​​keeping a distance, When it fails, it is declared broken.

There was no way to keep the distance. After that, Zhong Wentian further proposed that they would start a business cooperation.From the perspective of the studio and Yan Shuling's assistant, he couldn't refuse.

In the end, Zhong Wentian sat down with himself and drank a cup of coffee, and got his mobile phone number.

According to the theory of negotiation, Zhong Wentian can be called a complete victory in this face-to-face communication, with no disadvantages at all.

As for Xu Shuming, he lost the opportunity from the very beginning. The so-called one effort, then decline, and three exhaustion, he took a step back, and he was doomed to be unable to maintain his position.

When driving to the airport with Yan Shuling at night, his cell phone vibrated several times in his pocket.After he took it out and looked at it, he put it in his pocket and didn't look at it again.

Another female assistant who was also resting in the carriage saw his phone vibrate and didn't respond several times. She thought he hadn't noticed, so she pushed his shoulder and said, "Shuming, there's a message coming in from your phone."

This is probably the bitter fruit of self-inflicted evil, Xu Shuming had to take out his phone to check the news.

"What projects are you working on recently? How long will you stay in the Mainland?"

This is the first message that Zhong Wentian added to his new WeChat.

Seemingly quite serious, Xu Shuming couldn't express any other emotions, so he replied to his investor in a polite manner, saying:

"A supporting role in a movie, there are not many roles, and I will stay for more than a month." Xu Shuming told the movie, who is the investor, and who is the director.

Xu Shuming estimated that Zhong Wentian didn't know him, let alone the leading role.

Zhong Wentian had been waiting for his message, and replied almost instantly: "It's not convenient for me to type here, can you answer the phone?"

Zhong Wentian really doesn't like posting texts, he thinks texts are not efficient.

Xu Shuming hesitated for a moment, and replied: "It's not very convenient. Does Mr. Zhong actually need to consult? If it's urgent, you can call Xuanfa. They are free to answer your call 24 hours a day."

"It's not a very urgent question, so I'll continue typing." Zhong Wentian replied, not bothering about whether he could make a phone call.

And the tone of small talk is average.

However, it is not uncommon for such a familiar party A, Xu Shuming endured it, and replied: "Okay."

Zhong Wentian immediately said: "If there is a big project, will it be inconvenient for you to stay in the Mainland for a long time?"

Xu Shuming thought of cooperation like TV dramas. TV dramas can gain popularity, and it is easier to shoot than movies, but it takes a long time in the middle, so it is a relatively large project.

He thought for a while, and said, "I followed Miss Yan. It's convenient for Miss Yan, so it's natural for me."

Zhong Wentian replied a bit late this time, "So you have to stay in the Mainland for a long time, can't you ask for leave?"

Xu Shuming was reminding Zhong Wentian that the protagonist of their topic was Yan Shuling, but Zhong Wentian still regarded him as the subject.

The purpose is obvious.

It was difficult for Xu Shuming to ignore it, so he simply stopped replying.

But Zhong Wentian waited for a while, got no response, and sent several messages in a row. Xu Shuming got a headache from his quarrel, then picked up his mobile phone, copied Zhong Wentian's two questions, and forwarded them to Xuanfa person in charge.

Sure enough, Xuanfa attached great importance to Zhong Wentian, and immediately said that they would contact Mr. Zhong immediately to answer his doubts.

With the efforts of publicity, Zhong Wentian finally calmed down for a while.

Xu Shuming intends to blackmail Zhong Wentian, but he is Party A, so there is no reason to blackmail Party A before the cooperation is negotiated.

I don't know if it was Xu Shuming's behavior that made Zhong Wentian finally realize that he was annoying, until he and Yan Shuling changed planes and arrived at the hotel where he was staying, Zhong Wentian didn't reply to the news again.

Before going to bed, Xu Shuming checked his WeChat and found that there were indeed no new bubbles in the dialog with Zhong Wentian, so he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The next day, he woke up according to his biological clock. He had just dressed when his cell phone vibrated on the bed sheet.

Xu Shuming turned on the screen and looked at it. On the screen of the phone, a message from WeChat read:

"Good morning ^^" - from Zhong Wentian.
