The premiere of "The King" started at 07 o'clock, and Rong Xi was waiting at the entrance of the theater at 30:[-].

Surrounded by young faces, the girls gathered in twos and threes, standing next to the starring posters for a group photo.Occasionally, a couple passed by with their shoulders crossed, and he couldn't help but glance sideways.

The crowd came one after another, and fewer and fewer people were still standing at the door.A girl with ponytails held her mobile phone and loudly quarreled with the person on the other end, "It's fine if you don't want to come, let's break up!"

Ponytail angrily pressed the phone and went in.

Rong Xi watched her enter the arena, and couldn't help but put his hand into his pocket.

He took out his mobile phone and swiped open the screen, hesitating with his fingertips for a long time before pressing the dial button.

"Beep, beep, beep..." The sounds sounded like his heartbeat.

After a few seconds, the call was connected.

"Hello, Rongxi?"

"Qi Yan, you... are you coming tonight? It's about to start."

His heart was pounding, he was afraid that the other party would reply casually, "I don't come if I have something to do".

The voice on the other end of the phone was a little surprised, "Are you waiting for me? Sorry, I forgot to tell you, there is a 5-minute meet and greet before the premiere, and I have to go on stage. I'm backstage now, did you come in, no Come in."

So it is!Rong Xi's tone became brisk, "Okay, then I'll go in."

After Rong Xi checked the ticket and went in, he realized that the seat Qi Yan had arranged for him was in the VIP area.At [-]:[-] a.m., as Qi Yan said, several of the leading actors followed the director to the stage to pay their respects, and one of them said something like "please support me", and then came down.

As soon as the lights dimmed, the movie started playing.

In the darkness, Rong Xi only felt that someone came quietly and sat next to him.Reflected by the white light of the big screen, Qi Yan's indistinguishable face flickered.

"coming?"

"Ah."

"You spoke very well on stage just now."

"Really? Thanks."

Qi Yan thought about it carefully, just now he just said to the audience "Please support "The King", thank you", in terms of the number of words, he said the least among all the people.

Rong Xi was very self-restraining, and during the next movie, he watched the movie quietly and did not chat with Qi Yan anymore.

"The King" is a high-level work in terms of story, production, and actors. Qi Yan has a role in it, but it will be several months after the film is completed. Now he is also serious about watching it from beginning to end.

Two hours passed on Huo Qingmu's road to revenge.

Qi Yan was afraid that she would run into fans when she went out, so the two deliberately left the theater half an hour late.It was cold and windy tonight, seeing that Qi Yan was only wearing a casual suit outside, Rong Xi wanted to take off his cashmere coat.

This action amused Qi Yan, "You don't need to take it off, I'm not cold, I'm wearing thermal underwear inside."

Rong Xi's expression was a little awkward, Qi Yan couldn't help but continue to tease him, "Besides, I'm a big man too, don't deal with women like that."

He thought that Rong Xi would blush, but he didn't expect that the other party seemed a little lonely at that moment, but the next second, Rong Xi said shyly, "I'm sorry."

Could it be that the joke was overdone?

It's rare for Qi Yan to "introspect", but he doesn't know that what comes to Rong Xi's mind is the scene of bumping into them at the restaurant door.

He clearly saw that Rong Chengyu put his coat on Qi Yan as soon as he went out, what was Qi Yan's expression at that time?Oh, yes, he was hugged by Rong Chengyu with a smile.

In the final analysis, it is still a human reason...

Qi Yan walked a few steps, and suddenly proposed: "Are you hungry? I'll treat you to supper."

supper?

Rong Xi was still in a daze, but was taken by Qi Yan to a nearby barbecue stall.

There is a lot of people here, most of them are hard-working office workers who have just worked overtime, and there are also a table or two of workers chatting with rough voices.

Both Rong Xi and Qi Yan were dressed in splendid attire, they were out of place here.But Qi Yan didn't pay attention, he sat down directly, and reported a series of dishes to his little brother, obviously familiar with the dishes.

"Sit down, why, not used to this kind of place?"

Rong Xi shook his head, "No, when I was studying, I often had three meals a day at roadside stalls."

"Roadside stall?" Qi Yan was a little surprised, "Didn't your family cook?" Even if Rong Shaohu didn't care about this illegitimate child, didn't Rong Xi still have a mother?

"How could it be?" Rong Xi said with self-mockery, "My mother is so busy that she has no time to talk to me."

It sounds like Rong Xi's mother doesn't care about him either...

The skewers will be on the table soon, so let's stop this topic.

Qi Yan ate to the fullest.Ever since Fang Ming brought him to have a barbecue, he has never forgotten this.But Rong Chengyu always said that this thing was unhealthy and unhygienic, and every time he abruptly pulled him away from the barbecue stand.

It was a rare opportunity tonight, and more importantly, Fang Ming told him: "In front of barbecue and beer, there is no one who can't be a brother!"

With the goal of "pulling people into the gang", Qi Yan began to "be good at seduction".

"Rongxi, I thought a son like you would look down on these roadside stalls."

A certain "brother son" smiled wryly, "What 'brother son', as I said just now, since I was a child, this kind of stall is what I eat the most."

"Really? I thought you, like Cheng Yu, eat delicacies from mountains and seas every day, and you have luxury cars to pick you up when you go in and out."

As soon as Qi Yan mentioned the word "Chengyu", Rong Xi's smile stopped, and he said desolately: "No, it's different, how can I compare with my cousin?"

Although Rong Chengyu was born by his stepmother, Rong Shaohong loved him, and his food and drink expenses were the standards of a young master from a wealthy family.

What about him?

Thinking of this, Rong Xi felt a little sentimental, "I'm not afraid of your jokes. I used to go to school, and others hated wearing school uniforms, but I like school uniforms. Do you know why? It's because I only have one set of clothes. When it's holidays, I don't wear school uniforms." I’m too daring to go out with my classmates because I’m afraid people will laugh at me behind my back for wearing only one set of clothes every time.”

A child's world is pure, but this simplicity also carries the cruelty of discordant world affairs.Poverty can always be infinitely magnified on campus.A young soul talks unscrupulously about laughing at other people's poverty. After a few years, there may be a moment of regret, regretting that he easily hurt others back then.

But when they are hurting, the pain they bring to the parties is extremely cruel.

Once the topic is opened, it will be much easier later.Qi Yan persuaded softly: "Don't think too much, now that you have a successful career, the past is over."

"A successful career?" Rong Xi shook his head mockingly, "Qi Yan, if you were not willing to come to the e-commerce department, I'm afraid I won't be able to be the manager of the e-commerce department next year."

Qi Yan's identity is very subtle, he is not only closely related to the Rong family, but also separates from the Rong family.This made Rong Xi feel closer to him, "I'm afraid my cousin also talked to you about me? My dad, the one in my dad's family, can't tolerate me at all."

Qi Yan's eyes flashed brightly, but he still persuaded softly: "You are capable, if you take ten thousand steps back, you really won't be able to survive, and you will still have a bright future."

Not in Rongsheng?Maybe it was the loud voices of the migrant workers at the next table, or maybe it was the pity in the voice of the person in front of him, Rong Xi suddenly became angry, "Why did I leave Rong Sheng? I have worked here for so many years, why did she force me to leave? Not reconciled!"

It's right not to be reconciled.Sure enough, he was not mistaken, Rong Xi was gentle on the surface, but in his heart he still longed for a place in Rong Sheng.

With confidence in mind, Qi Yan took a sip of Budweiser calmly.This elegant beer costing a few dollars is in his hand, like a good tea that has been preserved for many years.

"Rongxi, I also feel sorry for you. You have been in Rongsheng for so long, and you have worked harder than young masters like Rong Muan, but..." He sighed, the words behind the "but" make people imagine of space.

But in the next second, Qi Yan seemed to wake up suddenly, he smiled brightly, and looked at Rong Xi a little lost.

"How about this, I will stay in the e-commerce department to assist you and let you get back what belongs to you!"

[Rong Chengyu]: Wife, have you gone home yet?My meeting is not over yet, you go home early and be safe.

【我】: ok

After finishing the cross-border video conference with Vice President Les Lihua of France, Rong Chengyu opened WeChat and saw that Qi Yan had replied, so he drove home in peace.

In the car, Li Xinglan called.

"Hi, Xinglan."

"Mr. Rong, I'm sorry, I just want to remind you that there may be a traffic jam on Zhongmin Road tomorrow. The auction will start at nine o'clock. You may have to ask the driver to change the route."

"Row."

As an assistant, Li Xinglan really had nothing to say.Gentle personality, considerate in handling things, and know how to advance and retreat, but the emotional road is a bit bumpy.Rong Chengyu sighed and parked the car in the garage.

As soon as he reached the entrance, he heard a burst of loud music inside.

"What are you doing?"

When Rong Chengyu opened the door, he saw at least a dozen young men and women wriggling to the rock music.

"Brother, you are back!"

Rong Chenglin squeezed in front of him from the crowd, her face was still red with wine.

"Cheng Lin? Are you drunk?" Rong Chengyu frowned. He wanted to reach out to take the wine from her hand, but Rong Chenglin turned around quickly.

"Stop making trouble, turn off the music, go back to your room and go to sleep."

"I don't want it!" Rong Chenglin yelled, crying, "Brother, don't you know what day it is today?"

"You are a girl, you can't drink like this any day!"

Rong Chengyu scolded in a low voice, and Nuonuo, a girl next to her, said something for Rong Chenglin: "Brother Rong, today is Linlin's birthday!"

Birthday?

Rong Chengyu was stunned, and Rong Chenglin turned her head, but there were two tears on her face, "Brother, you used to help me celebrate. What about this year? Dad flew to Xi'an last week to participate in some ghost orchid appreciation party." What about you? I'm with him every day, and I don't even go home! You said clearly when you were young that you would celebrate for me every year in the future!"

Only then did Rong Chengyu remember that today is indeed Rong Chenglin's birthday.In previous years, he would order gifts in advance, but this year...too many things happened.

The earth-shattering music was turned off by someone, and the room was suddenly quiet, only to hear Rong Chenglin crying: "Since he left, Dad doesn't like to talk to me, where is Mom? I quarrel with Dad all day long." And brother, are you going to move out?"

After all, it was a secret affair of a wealthy family, and the people around did not dare to speak out.

Rong Chengyu couldn't tell clearly in his heart, he and Rong Chenglin had been in a good relationship since they were young, but she was spoiled and always had the temper of a young lady.He knew that there were many bad things about this younger sister, but after all, she was her own younger sister, so she was always more protective.

But he didn't expect that this protection eventually became the main culprit for her framed Qi Yan.

After realizing his mistake, Rong Chengyu became much colder towards Rong Chenglin.But after all, today is her birthday, Rong Chengyu also wanted to be too harsh, "Stop talking, you drank so much, go back to your room to rest first."

Rong Chenglin was relentless, she leaned into his arms, crying and coquettishly, "I don't want me! You are my brother, the brother who loves me the most, don't go with him, okay? Woo ..."

It would be ugly if the crowd made such a fuss, and the little sisters beside her knew that Miss Rong San had brother fetishes, so no one dared to speak out.Rong Chengyu pulled her to stand up straight and said: "You are drunk, go back to your room first."

Rong Chenglin grabbed his hand, "I won't go back to my room, you haven't given me a gift yet!"

It's midnight now, where can I find gifts?Rong Chengyu was also a little impatient, "I'll give you a replacement tomorrow, you go to bed first."

"No!" Rong Chenglin yelled, "I want a gift!" Then she suddenly laughed "Ke Ke", "Brother, if you drink this cup, it's a gift for me!"

She put the wine in her hand in front of Rong Chengyu, as if he would not stop until he drank her.

Rong Chengyu simply drank the contents of the cup, and then called He Tiantian, who had been standing aside, who had been daring to speak, "You send the third lady back to the room, and everyone else, please go back and rest."

Rong Ershao spoke, and the others automatically and consciously retreated with their bags.

Seeing Rong Chenglin being supported upstairs by He Tiantian, Rong Chengyu was still yelling, and felt annoyed for a while.

It was the right decision to live outside with Qi Yan, this house is so smoky, it is not suitable for Qi Yan at all.

Thinking that the decoration of the two's nest had already started, Rong Chengyu felt happier again. He went back to his room humming a little tune, and fell asleep after a while.

In the darkness, with a "click", the door was opened.A figure came in quietly, that person picked up the phone from the table, and gently gestured a few times on the screen...

"Beep beep beep..." The phone was still busy, and Li Xinglan was walking around, attracting the attention of many people around.

"Hey, Special Assistant Li, the auction is about to start, why don't you come in?" The visitor lazily leaned against the pillar, as if admiring his anxious appearance.

Li Xinglan stopped in his tracks, put on his normal smile again, "Young Master Chen, I didn't expect you to come too?"

Chen Dongzhi, the prince of Fan Yin Group.Fan Yin Group is also mainly engaged in jade and jewelry, and he is here this time, presumably the target is also the "Siren".

"Oh, who doesn't want to see the famous diamond 'Siren' with his own eyes?" Chen Dongzhi stood up straight, and specially raised Vacheron Constantin's wrist, "It's time, why don't you go in?"

Li Xinglan's smile remained unchanged, "Young Master Chen, when will my little assistant be worth your attention?"

Chen Dongzhi said "hehe" twice, but a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes, "Are you waiting for the president of your family, right? I heard that Les Lihua has already said that if you fail to take pictures of this 'siren', They will consider changing partners, right?"

Hearing this, a crack appeared in Li Xinglan's formulaic smile.

How did Chen Dongzhi know?Indeed, Les Lihua issued a notice three days ago, if they can't produce the "Siren" this time, or a famous diamond of the same level as it.Laisi Lihua will forcibly terminate the contract with them on the grounds that "Rongsheng cannot provide products of the corresponding grade".

Except for a few high-level executives of the company, no one in the outside world knows about it.Did it leak from France, or...

"Hey!" Chen Dongzhi shouted exaggeratedly, "It's time, I have to get in on time."

When he passed by Li Xinglan, he deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Your president is still late for such an important occasion. I really feel sorry for your Rongsheng employees."

"That's really thankful, Young Master Chen."

Li Xinglan was expressionless, Chen Dongzhi felt bored, turned around and strode into the clubhouse.

Once the person left, Li Xinglan couldn't hold back anymore.He quickly dialed the other person's number.

"Manager Rong, I'm sorry to disturb you so early. Do you know Mr. Qi Yan's phone number?"

After finally getting Qi Yan's number from Rong Xi, Li Xinglan got through within seconds.

"Hello." The voice was cold, like the first snow that hadn't melted in the winter morning.

Li Xinglan briefly introduced himself, and then asked, "Excuse me, Mr. Qi, I want to call Mr. Rong, but he can't get through, please let him answer the phone!"

The person on the other end of the phone seemed surprised, "Chengyu? We're not together, didn't he go home last night?"

not together?Li Xinglan couldn't care less about wondering why the two of them lived separately as husband and wife, the auction was about to start!Now that Rong Chengyu has lost contact, does he want someone to hold the sign instead of Rong Sheng?

The other party seemed to feel his anxiety, "What's the matter, Mr. Li? It sounds like you have something urgent to find him."

Qi Yan is not an outsider, Li Xinglan explained today's auction clearly in just a few words, unexpectedly the other end of the phone actually made the decision for him.

"Mr. Li, the auction has already started, please go in first. I will be in charge of Chengyu, if he really can't catch up..."

"Then please hold the sign instead of him, and be sure to take a photo of the 'Siren'!"

"Congratulations to buyer No. 21 for bidding auction item No. 200 'Asian Star' at a price of [-] million yuan!"

There was thunderous applause from the audience, and Li Xinglan applauded with both hands, but the strings in his head were tense.

Sure enough, the host on the stage seemed to be holding his breath, and raised his hand very grandly——

"Gentlemen and ladies, let's invite our protagonist today - the top blue diamond 'Siren' from the Spanish royal family in the [-]th century!"

As soon as the voice fell, the surrounding lights suddenly disappeared, and the venue was plunged into darkness.A beam of white light hit the stage, and in the sight of everyone, the host slowly opened the box.

A luxurious necklace lay quietly in a black velvet box, and the dark blue light attracted the attention of the audience.

That is the color of the deep sea.The peerless blue diamond weighing 41.43 carats is a bloody legend. "Siren", the sea monster is lazily watching these people, using eyes full of evil and devil, luring the next prey.

"Crack", the light returned to the venue.

The host scanned the audience one by one, "Everyone, I don't need to repeat the legend of the famous diamond 'Siren'. I believe everyone present has the answer to her nobility, beauty, and mystery."

"Now, auction number nine 'Siren' is officially up for auction, with a reserve price of... 1000 million!"

1000 million?After all, it is a peerless treasure, even if the reserve price is reasonably high, many people in the audience are secretly dumbfounded.

Soon, someone in the arena raised a sign.

"Number five, eleven million."

The bidder bids each time the amount is 100.

There were many people calling for the price one after another, but Li Xinglan didn't move.Rong Sheng is determined to win the "Siren". They have studied it before, and the transaction amount of "Siren" is expected to be around 5000 million.Most of the people asking the price are just playing for fun. After the price is raised to 3000 million, the rest will be the real buyers.

Li Xinglan was eager for everyone to bid slowly, almost an hour had passed since he called Qi Yan, but there was no movement there.What exactly is Rong Chengyu doing?

Stone Auction House, a century-old auction house, has its rules. All bidders who participate in the auction must submit their company certificates and personal ID cards in advance to participate.Rong Sheng's legal representative is now Rong Chengyu, and he was also the one who submitted the identity information of the bidder.Li Xinglan was able to enter the arena because he had dealt with people from the auction house before, and they knew that he was Rong Chengyu's person, so they let him in.As for the qualifications to raise a placard to bid...he didn't have one!

If Rong Chengyu didn't come in time before the "Siren" was sold, then Rong Sheng would have to miss out on this peerless diamond.

Mr. Rong, where are you?

"It's you, Mr. Qi, what can I do for you?"

After many months, the cold face of Chen Mingli, the housekeeper of the Rong family, appeared again.Qi Yan said calmly through the carved iron gate, "I'm looking for Chengyu, where is he?"

"Second Young Master?" Chen Mingli raised her exquisitely drawn eyebrows, "Second Young Master is naturally at home."

at home?Why didn't you answer the phone at home?

"You call him out."

This place of Rong's house is too disgusting, he really doesn't want to step in again.

Chen Mingli replied coldly: "I'm sorry, the second young master is resting, so it's inconvenient to disturb me now."

"I don't care what he is doing now, you call him out immediately."

It's not normal, Li Xinglan clearly said that Rong Chengyu was going to the Stone Auction House this morning, "Siren" is so important, he doesn't believe that someone as cautious as Rong Chengyu is still "resting" now?

"Mr. Qi, you probably made a mistake." Chen Mingli was expressionless, but her words were sarcasm, "I am the housekeeper of the Rong family, not your housekeeper, Mr. Qi."

It's really a dog.Qi Yan could still remember that when Rong Chenglin framed him again and again, although Chen Mingli was not the mastermind, she should at least be regarded as an accomplice.

Qi Yan was really angry.When he is angry, he won't glaring, but there will be a sense of oppression around him, "Chen Mingli, this matter is related to Rongsheng's future. If you delay for a second now, the loss of Rongsheng in the future is unpredictable. Are you sure you are a little Little housekeeper, can you take responsibility?"

The two looked at each other through the iron gate, and Chen Mingli panicked.Seeing Qi Yan like this, maybe what he said is true, should I call the second young master...

Just as her feet were about to move, a voice came from behind: "What are you doing here?"

It's Rong Chenglin.

Chen Mingli regained her composure, and she said respectfully to Rong Chenglin: "Miss San, Mr. Qi wants to find the Second Young Master."

"Looking for my brother?" Rong Chenglin folded her hands on her chest, with the lingering hangover still on her face, "Go away, you are not welcome here."

Qi Yan didn't want to talk to this crazy woman, so he still said to Chen Mingli: "Go and call Cheng Yu down." He seemed to be a born superior, and this order made people want to obey involuntarily.

But when Rong Chenglin saw that he ignored her, she kept saying "Chengyu", and immediately exploded, "Qi Yan, you bitch, who allows you to come to my house to point fingers, I tell you, my brother Your name is not something you can call casually! What are you, but the inferior people who came out of the slums have no right to come to my house..."

"Are you crazy enough?" Qi Yan yelled angrily, before he didn't have time to take care of Cheng Lin, it was because he was busy with his own affairs, now Rong Chenglin jumped out again, so don't blame him.

He turned his anger into a smile, with evil charm in his smile, "Rong Chenglin, you don't want your scandal to be known by the whole city, do you?"

scandal?Chen Mingli saw that Rong Chenglin beside her froze suddenly, and then shouted loudly: "Scandal? What scandal do I have? Don't talk about it."

"Hehe," Qi Yan put one hand on the iron gate, her wicked smile made people blush, "Why don't we take a gamble, I'll call the entertainment reporter right now to see if my story is right?"

His eyes rested unscrupulously on a certain part of her body, panic flashed in Rong Chenglin's eyes, and then she slapped the iron door heavily, "Don't talk nonsense, I, I have nothing that cannot be known..."

Qi Yan also doesn't want to get entangled with this crazy woman, she wants to deal with her later, there are more important things now, "Chen Mingli, open the door!"

Even if it's disgusting, there's nothing you can do about it. If it continues like this, Li Xinglan may not be able to wait.

Chen Mingli wanted to ask Rong Chenglin's opinion, but found that she was panicked, and her heart skipped a beat. It seemed that Rong Chenglin really had something in Qi Yan's hands?

In desperation, Chen Mingli had no choice but to open the iron gate.

Qi Yan didn't even look at them, and immediately walked into Rong's house.

After all, it was the place where he lived, so he knew the way and went to Rong Chengyu's bedroom.He Tiantian met He Tiantian halfway, and He Tiantian asked him if he was going back to Rong's house with a look of surprise.

Qi Yan doesn't have time to chat with her, Rong Chengyu's door is locked.

He tugged at He Tiantian, "Is the second young master really inside?"

He Tiantian nodded, "Yes, he came back last night."

"Chengyu! Chengyu!" He slammed on the door vigorously, but there was no movement inside.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with that!

Later, Rong Chenglin and Chen Mingli rushed over, and Rong Chenglin yelled: "You are crazy, my brother is sleeping, why are you making such a fuss?"

"Chen Mingli, hand over the key and open the door!"

The spare keys of all the rooms in this house are in Chen Mingli's hands. She was stunned for a while, hesitating whether to take them out.

"Haven't you turned your head around yet? We were arguing so loudly outside the door, how could it be possible that Chengyu didn't move at all inside!"

That's right, Rong Chengyu usually wakes up at six o'clock, eats and prepares for work, so it's impossible to be still sleeping at ten o'clock today.What's more, ordinary people will come to open the door as soon as they hear the knock.

The more she thought about it, the more something went wrong. Chen Mingli took out a bunch of keys by herself, and her hands were still trembling when she opened the door.

"Get out of the way, I'll come."

Qi Yan opened the door in a second, only to see a figure lying on the bed in the dark and silent bedroom with the curtains drawn tightly inside.
