Porcelain to Porcelain

Perhaps because of his peace of mind when he returned to his hometown, coupled with the exhaustion of the journey, Lu Qiu slept until nine o'clock the next morning.

The first thing Lu Qiu did when he woke up was to turn on his cell phone from the bedside table.

After turning on the phone, there was a ding ding dong dong, there were missed call reminders or condolence text messages from Wang Gui, Secretary You, Lu Chunhua, Xie Pu, Feng Hao, etc., but there was no Zhou Hongxun.

Lu Qiu couldn't help worrying, did Zhou Hongxun have a worsening cold?

Immediately, Lu Qiu turned to the contact number labeled 'Corn' and wanted to press the button. Thinking of Zhou Hongxun's hoarse throat on the phone yesterday, Lu Qiu paused with his fingers, moved away and sent a text message.

[Is the cold better? 】

After the message was sent, Lu Qiu waited for a minute without a response, and couldn't wait to send another one.

【Which house do you live in?Send me the address and I'll be right there. 】

After sending, Lu Qiu stared at the phone and waited for nearly three or four minutes, but Zhou Hongxun still didn't reply.Lu Qiu was impatient and couldn't care less about being considerate, so he called directly.As a result, the number was pressed, and there was a mechanical out-of-service female voice answering.

Lu Qiu felt bad all of a sudden. He dialed a private number that Zhou Hongxun's close family members and closest confidantes only knew. No more than ten people knew the number.This mobile phone has never been on standby for 24 hours, and it is almost never turned off.

In the past, when Lu Qiu asked Zhou Hongxun for urgent matters, he could get through as soon as he called on his mobile phone, and he would reply every minute he sent a text message.

Lu Qiu thought for a while, then dialed Zhou Hongxun's other frequently used number, and still got the same voice answer.

The two mobile phones that are never turned off and commonly used cannot be contacted. Lu Qiu began to think wildly, and he anxiously looked for Wen Te.

"Went, did Mr. Zhou go to the company?"

"No……"

Lu Qiuxin grabbed hold of it: "Went, who did you send to take care of Mr. Zhou yesterday? Quickly, call him quickly to see what's going on with Mr. Zhou?"

"Ah, what care?" Wen Te's voice was confused.

"You still don't know Mr. Zhou is sick? What kind of special assistant are you working as?"

Lu Qiu is angry, the first manager has seriously neglected his duty.

"Didi, I'm sorry, I didn't know Mr. Zhou was unwell." Wen Te hurriedly reviewed in a low voice.

Lu Qiu calmed down his anxiety, and explained: "Mr. Zhou lived in an apartment outside because of a bad cold yesterday. He said that there was someone to take care of him, but when he called him just now, all his cell phones were turned off..."

"But, Diddy..."

"Hurry up and get in touch, find the person who was in charge of taking care of you last night, and ask Mr. Zhou how he is now..."

"Dee Dee..."

"Whether it's a serious condition or something, you must tell me immediately. Forget it, you tell me the apartment Mr. Zhou stayed in last night, and I will go directly..."

"Didi, Mr. Zhou is on a business trip!"

With great difficulty, Wen Te took advantage of Lu Qiu's gap to finish speaking.

"Ah..., business trip?"

"Mr. Zhou's flight to South Africa at 08:30 in the morning." Wen Te wiped off his sweat. His hard-working assistant was summoned by the Big Boss to deliver luggage to the hotel at [-]:[-] in the morning.

"Fuck, he's not feeling well and he's on a long-distance business trip. He thinks he's an iron man? As the first assistant, why don't you try to persuade him?..." Lu Qiu vented his dissatisfaction on the phone, because Zhou Hongxun didn't pay attention to his body, The second is that Zhou Hongxun didn't tell himself when he was on a business trip.

Wen Te listened without saying a word. The big boss who stayed in the hotel for one night looked haggard, as if he had a serious illness.

After venting his dissatisfaction, Lu Qiu pondered Zhou Hongxun's motives for doing this. Did he not tell because he was afraid that he would block him?Thinking of this, Lu Qiu felt much more comfortable.

"Went, I'm sorry, I was irritable just now." Lu Qiu apologized to Wen Te, but the boss deliberately concealed it, and the subordinates had to follow suit.

"It's okay, I know, you treat Mr. Zhou sincerely." Wen Te didn't dare to talk too much, the big boss's attitude towards Lu Qiu was ambiguous, you say it's a breakup, the big boss still keeps in touch with Lu Qiu.You said that the relationship between the big boss and Lu Qiu is as usual, but the recent bad temper and haggard expression are not normal no matter how you look at it.

What went wrong in the end, not his subordinates can ask.

Hearing Wen Te say that he treats Zhou Hongxun sincerely, the corners of Lu Qiu's lips twitch. Of course he has to treat Zhou Hongxun sincerely.

"Does Mr. Zhou have bodyguards with him?"

Since the political correctness in South Africa, the economy and security have declined sharply, and criminal activities such as thieves and kidnapping have increased. Lu Qiu worried that Zhou Hongxun's security was not enough.

"I have brought two of them, both of whom are very skilled." The bodyguard was arranged by Wen Te.

After finishing the call, Lu Qiu calculated the time when Zhou Hongxun would arrive in South Africa next week, and found that he could not contact until evening, which made his heart feel a little stuffy.

Feeling overwhelmed, Lu Qiu still has a lot of work to do.

After freshening up and getting dressed, Lu Qiu saw Mrs. Tian busy in the kitchen.

"Sister-in-law Tian! Good morning!"

"Morning, Mr. Lu! I made steamed stuffed buns with beef and mushrooms, and pancakes."

"Okay, give me some." When Lu Qiu heard this, his appetite increased greatly.Squatting in Central Asia for two months, Lu Qiu wanted to die of Mrs. Tian's homely craftsmanship.

Mrs. Tian put food and a glass of milk in front of Lu Qiu. "Why didn't you inform me when you came back? If Mr. Zhou didn't tell me, I would still stay at home on vacation foolishly."

When Zhou Hongxun told Mrs. Tian to come and take care of him, Lu Qiu felt warm in his heart.

"Why, Hong Xun let you go on a long vacation? He hasn't lived here all this time?"

"No, Mr. Zhou only gave me a vacation last week." Auntie Tian finished speaking, recalling the scene that day, just as she cleaned up the debris all over the floor in the study, Zhou Hongxun called to ask her to take a vacation.

At first, Mrs. Tian was happy to have an extra vacation, but after a week of vacation, she felt uneasy.In the past, there was no one in the apartment, and Mrs. Tian needed to clean up the dust every now and then. Now that she has been on vacation, it's not because she wants to fire herself, right?

So Tian's sister-in-law was very happy to be notified by her employer to resume work, and bought fresh ingredients early to make breakfast for Lu Qiu.

Lu Qiu ate one pancake and five beef buns for breakfast.The shiitake mushrooms in the beef buns are different from the stock in the refrigerator yesterday, and they are very fresh.

When he arrived at the company, Lu Qiu has been busy since entering the office.During the busy period, Lu Qiu always remembered Zhou Hongxun and checked his mobile phone frequently. Zhou Hongxun could turn on the phone when the plane was transiting.

After estimating the time when the plane arrived at the transit airport, Lu Qiu sent two or three short messages, totaling about ten.

It's a pity that Zhou Hongxun didn't reply at all until dark.

Busy until dark, Lu Qiu couldn't get off work, and there was an important dinner to meet a famous European perfume representative.This perfume merchant intends to endorse Lu Qiu in global advertising, and the endorsement salary is astonishing.After the representative asked Wang Gui to express his intention, Wang Gui reported to Lu Qiu who was filming in Central Asia.After hearing this, Lu Qiu was moved and agreed to meet with the representative to discuss the contract in detail when he returned home.

The representative of the perfume is a blond beauty with looks and temperament resembling Ivanka Trump. When Lu Qiu saw it, he became interested and asked the representative of the perfume whether his father was engaged in real estate.

After getting a negative answer, Lu Qiu was a little disappointed. He thought that in this space-time Europe, there would be a Twitter leader elected by the people.

Perfume represents Phyllis's deep love for Cheng Dieyi in "Farewell My Concubine", and Sam in "Ghost Love", not only did not mind Lu Qiu's little faux pas, but also talked about himself with Lu Qiu enthusiastically family history.

Lu Qiu was attracted by Phyllis's topic, and the two chatted happily. Unknowingly, an hour later, Wang Guicai interrupted and changed the topic to the real business, the perfume advertisement endorsement.

Phyllis was very straightforward, and in less than 10 minutes, the two parties negotiated the terms and agreed to sign a letter of intent tomorrow.

After the banquet, Lu Qiu remembered that Zhou Hongxun should arrive in South Africa at this time, so he quickly took out his mobile phone to check. After checking, there was indeed a text message from Zhou Hongxun on the mobile phone text message.

Seeing the text message, Lu Qiu's eyes lit up, and he opened it hastily.

[I have arrived at the destination safely, don't read it! 】

Sent time was ten 7 minutes ago.

Cha, wait for half a day to return ten words with two symbols?Lu Qiu was unhappy and replied a text message.

[If you can resist the virus and go on a business trip, can't you type out more words? 】

Wang Gui, who drove over to pick up Lu Qiu, looked puzzled, pressed the window of the car, and asked, "Didi, the contract is already in the pocket, why are you not happy?" "

The advertising fee for a one-year endorsement is 1000 million to 500 million sky-high. With such a rich hand, Wang Gui's heart trembled when he counted the numbers.

"No, I'm very happy." Lu Qiu opened the passenger door and got into the car.

Wang Gui waited for Lu Qiu to sit down and start the car.

"Then why did you gnash your teeth just now?"

"Is there? No?" Lu Qiu touched his face, embarrassed to reveal that he was having a quarrel with Zhou Hongxun.

Wang Gui blinked, could it be that he was wrong just now?

"Didi, the deputy manager of Baobin Automobile Asia General Distribution Company told me that Baobin's global spokesperson will be replaced and re-elected, and the board of directors' favorite candidates will be selected from among Asian film and television superstars."

Baobin Motors is similar to Porsche in the past. The endorsement contract is usually signed for three years, and the annual endorsement fee is at least 800 million US dollars.No matter how little it takes in three years, it will cost 400 million U.S. dollars, which is about 7000 million to [-] million yuan when converted into RMB.

Endorsement commercials can be shot for a month at most, and it can easily pocket hundreds of millions of dollars a month. Who wouldn't want such a beautiful thing?What's more, the senior executives of the merchants deliberately revealed the tone to Wang Gui, indicating that the senior executives of Baobin Motors included Lu Qiu as a spokesperson.

Lu Qiu nodded: "Okay, go and get in touch with Baobin."

Regarding Baobin's endorsement, Lu Qiu is not sure, but only hopes. After all, there are many Asian superstars, and the movie stars who have only acted in two movies have insufficient background.

Just as he was talking, Lu Qiuku issued a 'ding dong' text message notification tone.Lu Qiu stopped talking, bowed his head and quickly took out his phone.

Wang Gui glanced at Lu Qiu while driving, and saw Lu Qiu's handsome eyes slightly bent and the corners of his mouth raised.

"What's the good news?"

"A text message from Hongxun." Lu Qiu grinned. This time, Zhou Hongxun's text message had a lot of words, a full fifty or sixty characters. "Hong Xun is on a business trip to South Africa."

"Oh, Mr. Zhou went to South Africa." Wang Gui chuckled, no wonder Lu Qiu's cell phone was so quiet all night.

At the South African Hotel, Zhou Hongxun once again browsed the dozen or so text messages sent by Lu Qiu.

Concern one by one, anxiety and tension between the lines.

Looking at it, Zhou Hongxun's eyes were slightly bent, the corners of his mouth were turned up, and his expression was exactly the same as that of Lu Qiu.
