The air in the suburban residential area is much better than that in the city center. When Lu Yuxing woke up in the morning, he could still smell the fragrance of flowers wafting from the window.

"Morning, Xing."

The person in his arms woke up early, hugging his waist and acting like a baby. "Does your head still hurt? Do you feel uncomfortable?"

"It's not uncomfortable anymore." Lu Yuxing hugged him and pinched his face.

He stood at the door of the room to eavesdrop last night. Tang Tang and Tang Ruize's voices were too low, and only a few discontinuous syllables could be heard.

But the more so, the more suspicious it seems.

Tang Tang's face turned red from being pinched by him, he screamed and got out of the quilt and ran away.With a blushing face, he straightened his pajamas and got up to drink water.

"Did the chat with your brother go well?" Lu Yuxing propped himself up, his eyes wandering over Tang Tang's two slender legs.

"Nothing to talk about." Tang Tang came over with a glass of water, with cold medicine in his hand, "Come, take the medicine."

He spoke so tightly that Lu Yuxing wanted to ask further questions, but he didn't know how to speak.

Seeing Tang Tang's concerned expression, he sighed silently.

Forget it.

Lu Yuxing sat up, put his arms around Tang Tang's waist, raised his head and kissed him lightly on the lips.

"Thank you."

When the two woke up, Tang Ruize had already gone out.After a hasty breakfast with Xiaoxing, Lu Yuxing planned to go to work.

"Take this."

Before going out, Tang Tang hurried out with a box, which was Lu Yuxing's medicine box.He was a little worried, and stuffed the medicine box into Lu Yuxing's bag.

"Do you want me to take you?"

"No need." Lu Yuxing rubbed his hair, "I told you, I'm already much better."

Tang Tang still looked worried, and insisted on calling the driver at home to see him off.Lu Yuxing discovered that Tang Tang was sometimes like a persistent child, always wanting to follow the adults around him closely, fearing that something would happen to others.

He didn't refuse again, Tang Tang asked the driver who lived on the street to pick him up and sent him to the newspaper office.

The elevator door opened, and another extremely busy scene greeted the eyes.

"Xiao Lu, Xiao Lu!" Bai Wan pulled him over, "Why do you always step on the spot, the entertainment board is going to have a meeting!"

"I'm sorry, Miss Bai, I've been delayed by something at home." Lu Yuxing took his notebook and followed Bai Wan to the conference room, "I remember that today is not a day for a regular meeting."

"It's an impromptu meeting," Bai Wan's short boots made a crisp sound on the floor, she lowered her voice and said in a low voice, "I heard it's a new column, Director Chen's movie is about to start, our newspaper office can send reporters to interview the group , do a special report."

Lu Yuxing was taken aback, "Director Chen's movie?"

"Yes, Editor Ai got in touch immediately when he got the news," Bai Wan said, "Director Chen has a good impression of our newspaper because of the interview last time. Other newspapers don't have this opportunity."

The blinds of the conference room were drawn tightly, and Lu Yuxing followed Bai Wan in. The conference room was full of people, and all the reporters and editors in charge of the entertainment section had arrived. The interns had no seats and could only stand in the corner with.Ai Zhuyu sat upright in front of the conference table, no one dared to speak out.

Lu Yuxing looked around and stood beside the other interns.

He came in lightly, but Zhu Hu, who was sitting on the right side of Ai Zhuyu, gave him a look with an unkind expression.Several young interns around him also looked sideways, casting curious glances at him.

"There is only one agenda for today," Ai Zhuyu crossed her fingers, resting her elbows on the table. "Director Chen Guzhou's new film "Chasing the Murderer" is about to start shooting. Our newspaper office is very honored to have the opportunity to interview the group throughout the whole process." She fiddled with the pen in her hand, "On the other hand, the producer also hopes that we It can help to do a good job of publicity and create momentum for the box office.”

Lu Yuxing stood in the corner and listened quietly, while several interns beside him were writing non-stop with notebooks in their hands.He tried his best to recall the days when the crew was filming. At that time, only the TV station came to the crew to do interviews and reports, and there were no newspapers to follow the crew for a long time.

"However, only two people can participate in this interview." Ai Zhuyu stretched out two fingers, "One reporter, one photographer, and no more." She glanced at Zhu Hu, "Let's discuss it."

Zhu Hu showed a flattering smile, nodded and smiled at Ai Zhuyu. "Of course, we must send the best ones over there. This is a rare opportunity for us."

"Well," Ai Zhuyu scanned the crowd, "Did you do a personal interview with Director Chen Guzhou last time?"

The young man sitting at the back of the conference table slowly raised his hand: "Yes, Sister Ai, our team did the interview, and Bai Wan was sent to go with the interns."

Bai Wan who was sitting next to him was taken aback for a moment, then turned her head and glanced at Lu Yuxing quietly.

"Intern?" Ai Zhuyu raised her eyebrows slightly, with a curious look on her face, "I remember him, his name is Lu Yuxing, right?"

Several pairs of eyes around him looked over at the same time, Lu Yuxing and Ai Zhuyu met their eyes, and he stood up. "Yes, Bai Wan and I were in charge of interviewing at that time, and had some contact with Director Chen."

The implication is that he has an advantage over others to send reporters to the crew.

Several editors at the conference table also turned to look at him. The leader of the art team was an elderly senior, and he said half-jokingly: "Young man is very practical. Last time I saw him helping the economic section next door. .”

Zhu Hu's face turned green with anger.

"But it's too hasty to send an intern," he suppressed the anger in his heart, looked around his subordinates, and ordered one casually, "I think Lao Cheng is good, with deep qualifications and knowledge. I also know how to deal with the situation. Xiao Lu is good, but he is still too young and inexperienced."

Of course Ai Zhuyu saw that this was putting on shoes for the new couple.She didn't say anything, touched the small diamond inlaid on the cap of the pen, and turned to ask Lao Cheng: "Old Cheng, do you have a wish?"

The middle-aged man named Lao Cheng waved his hand, "Editor Ai, I still have other sections to do." He stroked the thinning hair on the top of his head, "Not one of the fixed sections of the daily magazine can be left behind. Too tired, I still recommend young people to do it.”

Ai Zhuyu nodded and asked the others. "So, does anyone recommend themselves?"

The crowd was silent.

The update speed of the entertainment section is too fast, and reporters with a little qualifications have their own section in charge.The entertainment section of the Hong Kong City Daily did not have enough personnel. No one could spend two months doing interviews and reports with the crew.What's more, it takes a long time to recover the accumulated income from the interview work with the group. The old people are used to seeing celebrities and are not interested in this kind of work.

In this way, there are only a few interns who have free time.

Lu Yuxing looked around and saw no one answered, so he said, "Ai Bian, I am willing to go."

Everyone at the conference table turned their heads.

"During the interview last time, Director Chen told us a lot about his ideas, and I will have an advantage in this regard."

Bai Wan secretly made a gesture of "Come on", with a gratified smile on her face.

"OK, if there is no objection, it will be settled like this." Ai Zhuyu twirled the pen in her hand, picked up the pen and wrote Lu Yuxing's name on it, "Next, we will choose the photographer."

The meeting lasted less than an hour.In the end, a young boy named Li Qing was selected for photography. The boy had just graduated from university and entered the society for the first time, and he was very enthusiastic about his work.

After the meeting was over, Lu Yuxing turned around and left quickly, but Li Qing ran after him and patted him on the back excitedly.

"Next...next week," he stammered a little, his thin cheeks flushed with excitement, "we will work together next week, work."

Lu Yuxing nodded politely, "Well, please give me more advice."

While chatting, the shared phone rang.

Lao Cheng passed by and answered the phone, and shouted at Lu Yuxing: "Xiao Lu, I'm looking for you!"

"coming."

Lu Yuxing felt it was Tang Tang's call, so he didn't tell Li Qingduo.

He walked around the crowded booth and took the receiver from Lao Cheng. "Your brother?" Lao Cheng left with the documents in his arms, turned around with a smile and said, "The relationship between the two brothers is really good."

Lu Yuxing smiled at him.

"Hello? Ah Xing."

Tang Tang's voice sounded. "Tell you good news!"

Lu Yuxing imagined him holding the phone with a smile in his eyes, and couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

"What good news?"

"I! I've been chosen!" Tang Tang raised his voice, "Director Chen has chosen me to play the male lead! I'll be in the group next week!"

The office is full of chickens and dogs, and busy colleagues shuttle between workstations.

Lu Yuxing covered the phone, his thin lips lifted, and he also smiled.

"Congratulations, our Tangtang is going to become a big star."

There was a short silence on the other end of the phone, and Lu Yuxing clearly felt that Tang Tang's mood suddenly fell back.He changed the topic, "I have prepared a surprise for you."

Tang Tang quickly returned to his joyful and excited state, and asked curiously, "What surprise?"

"You'll know when you join the team next week." Lu Yuxing had a rare trick, "What's the point of saying it?"

"Well..." Tang Tang pouted, "Okay."

Lu Yuxing felt like he was coaxing the child.During working hours, the two didn't talk much.After hastily hung up the phone, Lu Yuxing went on to work.

Six pm.

After Lu Yuxing sorted out the materials, almost all other colleagues had already left work.

"Xiao Lu, you should go back earlier." Bai Wan tidied up her desk and was painting lipstick in front of the small mirror. "It will be very hard to follow the crew, you are not bad, director Chen shot most of the scenery locally." She spoke vaguely, "I was an intern before, and I went to the mountains to shoot with a crew, almost because The mudslide account is there."

Lu Yuxing looked at her flaming red lips and felt that Bai Wan had become more confident recently.He is no longer obedient in speaking and doing things, and has the appearance of some seniors.

"I'll leave right away." Lu Yuxing put the materials on the editor's desk, "Sister Bai, you go first."

"Then I'll go." Bai Wan picked up her small leather bag and turned around beautifully, "Bye."

She conveniently turned off half of the lights in the workstation, leaving only the one on Lu Yu's head.

Just as the elevator closed, the fax machine on Lu Yuxing's desk suddenly rang.

Looking at the small yellow light on the fax machine that kept blinking, Lu Yuxing rubbed the acceptance switch in extreme discomfort and pressed it.

Who will send a fax when the work is done?

The yellow light went out, and Lu Yuxing stood in the empty office, waiting for the fax to be sent from the machine.

The printing paper was printed quickly, and several pictures with text appeared in front of my eyes.

Seeing the signature in the lower right corner, Lu Yuxing frowned, and quickly took out the piece of paper.

【Mr. Lu: This is what you want me to investigate, about Tang Xingguo's life.We weren't able to find out exactly what he put in the bank, but we did find this. 】

Lu Yuxing looked at the photo below.

It was a silver pocket watch with a hollowed-out cover and a whole row of small diamonds inlaid on the watch chain. The watch movement inside was not clearly photographed, but it could be vaguely seen that the pattern was cumbersome and the workmanship was very delicate.

A portrait is engraved on the back of the pocket watch, which is a middle-aged woman with a soft face and elegant temperament.

[This is a pocket watch designed by Tang Xingguo himself, the only one in the world, and it was made to commemorate his wife who passed away unexpectedly.Tang Xingguo has been carrying it with him for more than ten years, going in and out of various public and private occasions.Compared with other money, this should be his most important thing. 】

In the lower right corner of the paper, Bai Zhi's name was written.

Lu Yuxing looked over the photo of the watch a dozen times over and over, then took the paper shredder and shredded the fax.
