alternate performance

Xu Chenhe caught a cold last night, and his throat has been in a state of discomfort since he got up this morning, so he spoke in a low voice: "Who are you looking for, sir?"

Gu Congran pulled back his rationality, but his eyes were still fixed on the upper half of the opponent's face: "Can I take a step to speak?"

Perhaps it was Gu Congran's face and clothes that made Xu Chenhe relax his vigilance. He looked at the other party for a few times, then opened the door and made a gesture of invitation.

The light in the room is dim and the space is small, but it is very tidy, and the two hollow screens form an orderly pattern.On the left side of the entrance is the small kitchen, a black casserole is placed on the gas stove, and a glass round table is next to it; on the right side are chairs and a coffee table, and on the lattice shelf against the wall are small green potted plants and neatly arranged books. wearing a label.A single bed and several cabinets of different sizes can be vaguely seen behind the screen, and the only window in the whole room has heavy curtains.

There was a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine in the air, Gu Congran frowned almost invisible, and the careful Xu Chenhe noticed it: "Please sit down, I will open the window."

With two swishes, Xu Chenhe opened the curtains on both sides, allowing the warm sunlight to fill the entire room.He neatly tied the two knots, then pushed the window open, and the fresh air of the small town poured into the room. Although it was cold, it at least diluted the bitter taste of the traditional Chinese medicine.

At the end of the bed was a large padded coat with fur inside. Xu Chenhe was afraid of the cold when he was not feeling well, so he took the cotton padded coat and wrapped it up, and then quickly went to the small kitchen to brew a pot of Pu'er tea for the guests.

"It's not the best tea, don't mind." He handed the cup to the person sitting at the coffee table with both hands, Gu Congran's eyes stayed on the other person's face from the beginning to the end, and he accidentally touched Xu Chenhe's hand when receiving the tea. I only felt that the body of the cup was hot, but the other party's fingertips were cold.

"Thank you," Gu Congyan took a sip of tea and put the cup on the table, "Is it convenient to take off your mask?"

Xu Chenhe was taken aback, and the fingers exposed under the sleeves grabbed his mask: "Sorry, I have a cold."

"It's okay, I'm not susceptible to infection." Although Gu Congran's attitude was calm but persistent, he held the cup he had just put down again, and the warmth in his palm concealed unspeakable tension.

Xu Chenhe slapped his eyelashes, seemed to be smiling helplessly, then lifted an earhook, and took off the mask: "That's right, it's impolite to talk to people while wearing a mask, I was negligent."

The face under the mask and the face of Jiang Hua in his memory highly overlapped. Gu Congran was shocked at first, his breathing stopped for half a second, and then he immediately realized that the person in front of him was not Jiang Hua. The centimeter-long scar was very shallow, but it was particularly conspicuous against the cold white complexion.

Jiang Hua doesn't have this scar.

After a while, Gu Congran laughed at himself in his heart, he has been away for three years, how could he appear out of thin air.Just as he was about to talk nonsense and leave, Xu Chenhe inadvertently lowered his head, giving him the illusion that Jiang Hua was right in front of him again.

He looked away, and didn't intend to beat around the bush: "Mr. Xu, I'm Gu Congran, the president and largest shareholder of Chengxuan City Xuanran Entertainment Company. I came here abruptly this time to make a deal with you."

So straight to the point, and contacting the strange man who visited the door a few days ago, Xu Chenhe finally understood what the well-dressed man in front of him wanted to ask.

He put away his hospitality smile, got up and went to the small kitchen to turn off the stove and gas, wrapped the handle of the casserole with wet cotton cloth and poured the traditional Chinese medicine into the bowl: "If I am asked to join some film and television industry, I will not be exempted, I am not in this field Talent, Mr. Gu should hire Gao Ming."

Gu Congran was well prepared and tapped on the cup casually: "Don't you listen to the transaction first?"

"Left and right are just about how much money you can make for me. Your assistant already mentioned it last time." Xu Chenhe came over and sat down with a bowl in his hand. "It's a pity that Mr. Gu made a wrong calculation. I'm not someone who is tempted by money."

He drank a sip of the dark Chinese medicine without frowning. He felt hot, so he put down the bowl.Receiving Gu Congran's gaze, thinking that the other party wanted to persuade him, he raised his head and added: "I will not leave Rongjing Town, supporting education is my job."

Obviously serious words, but the appearance of Xu Chenhe with brown medicinal juice on his lips greatly compromised the realistic effect.Gu Congran took out a tissue and handed it over, as if seeing another person through Xu Chenhe's face: "Wipe your mouth."

Did not get the desired response, Xu Chenhe shyly grabbed the tissue and pressed it on the corner of his mouth: "If you have nothing else to do, please go back."

Xu Chenhe's shameful and angry look made Gu Congran laugh. He turned his head and looked out the window. From this angle, he could see the school's dilapidated teaching building: "Shengyang Primary School doesn't have student dormitories, does it?"

"...No," Xu Chenhe followed his gaze, "They are all taking a lunch break in the classroom."

"Oh," Gu Congran said casually, "I see a lot of undeveloped land around, what do you think about building a student dormitory?"

Speaking of this, Xu Chenhe suddenly realized that this was probably the deal that Gu Congran wanted to negotiate with him.He can treat money matters as dung, but if it concerns students, he can't be unshakable. Gu Congran quickly pinched his thorn.

Xu Chenhe felt a throbbing pain in his heart when he thought of the **-year-old child who consciously removed the tables and chairs every day at noon, and spread a few faded sheets on the cold and hard floor to sleep with their arms around each other.

"It should be much more comfortable to install a dual-purpose air conditioner in the dormitory, cooling in summer and heating in winter." Gu Congran suggested calmly.

Xu Chenhe pursed his lips, slowly feeling the bitterness of the traditional Chinese medicine left between his lips and teeth just now.

"When will the construction start at the latest?" He looked at Gu Congran and asked.

Gu Congran drank his tea slowly, and the cheap Pu'er gave him a taste of sweetness: "That depends on when you agree to this deal."

Going out alone, and returning with two people, Gu Congran brought Xu Chenhe to Xuanran Entertainment Company in a fair and honest manner. On the way from the lobby to the elevator, people kept nodding and saying hello to him, but no one asked him what he was doing behind him knowingly. Who is armed.

The elevator door closed slowly, Xu Chenhe hooked off his mask to breathe in, the severe cold made his nasal passages so congested that he had to open his mouth slightly to breathe.

Gu Congran glanced at Xu Chenhe's hand clenched on the luggage handle, knowing that he was trying to be calm. Indeed, who would have thought that he would climb to the top and become a star in front of the screen in one step after coming out of a backward town?

"Don't be nervous, I won't let you open immediately," Gu Congran comforted, "There is still a lot of preparatory work in the early stage, which is equivalent to the employee's probationary period. During this period, you can get as familiar with the environment and work content as possible. Your training is also essential."

The titanium-plated car door reflected the blurred figures of the two people, Xu Chenhe responded "Yes", his eyes were always focused on the door panel and did not look around.

After graduating from university, he has been rooted in the simple countryside. He has no desire to pursue a high-end and gorgeous world. He suddenly changed his living environment, and it was naturally difficult for him to adapt.

The elevator door opened, and the corridor on the 28th floor was spread out with beautifully patterned sound-absorbing carpets. When the rollers of the suitcase rubbed against each other, most of the noise was absorbed by the carpet.

Gu Congran led Xu Chenhe into his private office, first asked someone to put his luggage in a corner, and then used the internal phone to call for Special Assistant Zhou.

After half a minute, Special Assistant Zhou arrived. When he saw Xu Chenhe standing beside the sofa taking off his hat and sunglasses, his eyes were about to pop out: "Mr. Xu?"

"Hello." Xu Chenhe nodded to him, and at the same time, his face was flushed. No matter how mournful Zhou Tezhu was, he firmly refused to join the showbiz as someone else, but this time we met again in the president's office. They are all like the one who is following the trend.

Gu Congran glanced at the work to be done on the table in the past few days, and decided that it was still important.He walked around to the sofa and sat down, only two punches away from Xu Chenhe.

Raising his hand to let Zhou Tezhu sit on the single sofa, Gu Congran began to give orders, from big to small, concise and to the point: "This time I picked him up personally, which proves that I am the most confident about him, and Similarly, the return of Jiang Hua must be kept secret from the outside world first, and it must not be leaked. The manager asked Zhu Huiting and his assistant Fang Rui to draft a non-disclosure agreement for them to sign. In addition, Xu Chenhe lives in Fujinyuan in the eastern district of the city. He's going, I'll send you the house number address tonight, remember to buy the necessities for him tomorrow at the latest."

Xu Chenhe didn't say a word the whole time, the moment he decided to follow Gu Congran back, it was tantamount to signing a contract of sale, and he would no longer have the right to make decisions about the future journey.

On the other hand, Special Assistant Zhou was full of surprise. He took a pen to record in the notepad and sighed secretly. Xu Chenhe's treatment was really good. He arranged for a gold broker and lived in an apartment in a prime location. To replace Jiang Hua's position...

"Mr. Gu, do you have anything else to order?" Special Assistant Zhou stopped writing.

Gu Congran thought for a while, and remembered the scene of Xu Chenhe drinking traditional Chinese medicine: "Call Dr. Liu to come over, right now."

Dr. Liu is a private doctor hired by Gu Congran, and he is guaranteed to be on call for diagnosis and treatment. It took him less than half an hour to feel Xu Chenhe's pulse, auscultate, and prescribe medicine.

Before Dr. Liu left, he told him not to take medicine on an empty stomach. Gu Congran raised his hand to look at his watch. It was dinner time, so he had to put aside his work until tomorrow, and asked Xu Chenhe to put on his full armor and go to dinner with him.

Without calling the driver to pick him up, Gu Congran took the steering wheel and drove Xu Chenhe to the hotel.The Aston Martin rapide with comfortable seats, but Xu Chenhe sat quite uncomfortably.In order to divert his attention, he stared at the different pure blue scorpion ornaments dangling with the movement of the car under the rearview mirror, and asked casually, "Is Gu always a Scorpio?"

"Yes," Gu Congran looked at him, "From now on, you can call me by my name directly in public, don't call me so unfamiliar."

Xu Chenhe was slightly startled: "Okay."

In the private room of the hotel, Xu Chenhe was finally able to take off his baseball cap and sunglasses.Gu Congran raised his eyes from the menu and asked, "Are you uncomfortable wearing this?"

"I'm not used to it." Xu Chenhe replied with a smile.

"Then learn to adapt," Gu Congran said in a business-like tone, "In the future, you will have to cover yourself up in many public places. You are an actor and a public figure, so you don't pay attention to your every move. It will be photographed by the paparazzi and used to make a fuss. On the other hand, it is to avoid encountering siege, which is for the sake of your personal safety, and some people are not as reserved and qualified as you think."

Xu Chenhe suppressed his smile under Gu Congran's non-warm gaze, he lowered his head to avoid the other party's gaze: "I see."

The movement of his lowering his head made the shallow scar on the right side of his face disappear from Gu Congran's field of vision, and his face, which was very similar to Jiang Hua's, appeared a little lonely.

Gu Congran's face froze, and the overwhelming memories of the past made him involuntarily soften his tone, and said softly, "You are really similar to him."
