The plot collapsed after everyone thought it was rotten

Although Ji Zongming said that he was always on call, Huo Chuxiao did not give him this opportunity.

Early the next morning, he returned from his morning run as usual, thinking that Huo Chuxiao was still sleeping as usual, but when he opened the door, he saw a man who was supposed to sleep in until 9 o'clock was actually sitting in the dining room having breakfast.

Ji Zongming was taken aback, "What about sleepwalking?"

Huo Chuxiao: "?"

After confirming that the other party really got up so early, Ji Zongming had an unbelievable expression on his face, "Are you playing chicken blood? Get up so early?"

Then he suddenly thought of something, and said happily, "Or do you want to finish painting my portrait earlier?"

He thought to himself that his idea of ​​being a mannequin was really good. Sure enough, in Huo Chuxiao's eyes, as long as it was related to painting, he would become extraordinarily active, and his behavior was surprisingly active.

"Ah, that," Huo Chuxiao seemed to have just remembered, suddenly, "Let's talk about it in a few days, I have other things to do today."

……

Boss Ji, who was immersed in his wise decision, was taken aback, no, why was he put away?

"What's the matter? Jingjie is still working overtime?"

Huo Chuxiao turned on the phone to check the time, and said, "No, to earn extra money, the employer wants to chat with me face to face. The appointment is in the morning, and he said he only has time this morning, and his schedule seems to be very full."

Ji Zongming turned from sunny to cloudy in an instant.

Well, it is true that he is very active in dealing with painting, but what he didn't expect was that he was put in the column of secondary events.

Thinking about it carefully, Alyssa seems to have reported to him that Huo Chuxiao recently took on a lucrative job, saying that he was drawing album concept art for some celebrity.

All right, Boss Ji thought, after all, painting for him is free.

So Boss Ji immediately shifted the battlefield: "Where are you going, I'll see you off. Anyway, I have nothing to do today."

Huo Chuxiao mentioned a location, and Ji Zongming immediately went back to the bedroom to change out of his morning jogging outfit, and deliberately chose more formal clothes to change into.

Seeing that he was so proactive, Huo Chuxiao couldn't react for a while, wondering if his company was going to close down, why is there so much time all of a sudden?

But of course he is very happy to have a free private car.

The two of them set off after half an hour. The singer's manager made an appointment at the office building where the studio is located, which can be regarded as a popular location in the city's core area. They also caught up with a short period of morning rush hour congestion. Fortunately, Ji Zongming changed in time. After crossing the auxiliary road, it was still 10 minutes before the agreed time when we finally arrived.

Huo Chuxiao thought to himself, if he took a taxi by himself, he might be stuck in a traffic jam.

Boss Ji is not only warm-hearted, but also reliable.

He had said goodbye before getting out of the car, but Ji Zongming got out of the car with him. Seeing him looking over and asking, he said casually: "Go and talk, I'm walking around, when the talk is over, give me I'll make a call and come pick you up."

Huo Chuxiao was even more shocked now. He looked at Ji Zongming tentatively for a while, and then carefully, as if afraid of touching the other party's sad things, he said softly: "Are you unemployed?"

Boss Ji choked on the smoke in his lungs, coughing so hard that the passers-by were startled.

Huo Chuxiao's outrageous brain circuit...why is he so small in his eyes?A good armored infantryman, a top sniper in the group army, was fed to pigs by him as a cooking team.Hao Hao, the president of a cutting-edge game company, a young talent who has climbed to the rich list, is regarded by him as a jobless vagrant who failed to start a business and suspected of switching to a black car.

Why can't he think in a good way, for example, people are so courteous because they are interested in him!

Ji Zongming wanted to say something at first, but in the end he was a little discouraged, waved his hand and said tiredly: "Forget it, you should hurry up to the meeting."

The future is long, well, he has plenty of time...

Huo Chuxiao received a temporary pass from the front desk of the building, and took the elevator all the way to the 15th floor.

Huanyu Group is on the 17th floor, but there is a relatively private coffee shop on the 15th floor. The manager probably took care of Huo Chuxiao's reluctance to have contact with strangers, so he didn't choose the location in the company, but opened a cafe by the window Small box, the environment is relatively quiet and private.

When he arrived, there were already two people sitting in the box.

He had met the agent, Mr. Shen, and the other one looked younger and looked like an assistant, but he was unfamiliar, so Huo Chuxiao greeted the acquaintance first.

Shen Li was exceptionally enthusiastic, as soon as he saw him, he immediately asked the waiter to serve drinks and snacks.In fact, Huo Chuxiao's image in their circle is relatively high and cold. This person appeared out of nowhere, with both good looks and talent, a mysterious background and a halo of a wealthy family. After being on the hot search, the popularity is not inferior to some second- and third-tier stars in the entertainment industry. They are all managed by a team, and it took Huo Chuxiao a month to open a personal account on Weibo.

It's not easy to get in touch with, this is a cooperation opportunity that he only got after sending four or five emails to the business mailbox, but no matter how you look at it, Huo Chuxiao is an excellent partner for cooperation.First of all, he has his own popularity, secondly, he will not become an opponent, and lastly, Huo Chuxiao's hardware conditions are very good, and he is a bit topical. If he is used as one of the gimmicks of this new album... the effect is absolutely ideal.

Shen Li clattered his small abacus, met the real person, and found that Huo Chuxiao had a sense of distance, and he was definitely a person with few things, so he was even more satisfied.

After Huo Chuxiao took his seat, the two of them got straight to the point and talked about work.

He also got to know the singer Party A this time through Shen Lizhi's mouth.

The singer's name is Chu Boya, and his name is delicate, but he is actually a man. He is an entertainer that Huanyu has cultivated in the past two years. It is said that he is now a popular fried chicken. Putting on a variety show on Paipai Film and Television is another way to gain popularity, but the direction that the studio has set for him is still focusing on the career of a singer, so he hopes to divert the enthusiasm established in other places to this, so this album The expectations are very high, and all resources will be tilted towards this.

The implication is to tell Huo Chuxiao not to worry about the treatment, but to only ask for the best, regardless of the price.

Huo Chuxiao didn't understand the operation of an artist's career, but after understanding the implication, she thought she was really sleepy and came to sleep.

Party A is bold, and he is in the mood to do more research on this singer.

As for Shen Li's talk about gaining fame and fortune, and topicality, they are all dispensable things.

"...So, the meaning of the studio is that I hope you can participate in the whole process of shooting the album's mv, which will also help you better understand the core concept of the album, and it will also help your creative work."

Shen Li hurriedly finished the series of foreshadowing above, and finally got to the point.

Huo Chuxiao stopped eating the soufflé, and looked at Shen Li in astonishment.

The assistant at the side immediately received a signal from the boss' eyes, and hurriedly handed over a copy of the itinerary to Huo Chuxiao.

"It is estimated that the shooting cycle is one week, and it will not take too much time for you. Moreover, all the expenses in the process will be borne by us, and you don't need to spend a penny. It is a trip, and the places we go are also All……"

Shen Li was still eloquently convincing Huo Chuxiao, but the other party was obviously caught off guard by this request, and was completely stunned, as if digesting and thinking at a very slow speed.

The door of the box was suddenly pushed open, Shen Li stopped talking, looked over vigilantly, and heaved a sigh of relief after seeing the person, then turned his head and said to Huo Chuxiao: "Painter Huo, come here, let me introduce you to us." The popular niche. Boya, this is the first time you have met Painter Huo, right?"

"Yes." A clear, metallic voice sounded suddenly.

Although Huo Chuxiao didn't have any musical talent, when he heard this voice, he subconsciously felt that it was indeed a singer.

He was still sitting blankly in the small soft chair, looked up, and saw a young man dressed in exaggerated art walking towards him.

Chu Boya should have just finished a filming job, with light makeup on her face, her hairstyle is clearly set, and she is full of sophistication that can resist the nitpicking of the media cameras.

It was the first time for Huo Chuxiao to face a celebrity face to face, but he didn't have any other feelings, except that he smelled the strong perfume on this person, and he seemed a little uncomfortable.After all, the private room is only so big and the air flow is poor. For just a short while, the room is full of Chu Boya's aura, baring his teeth and claws, even more arrogant than this person looks.

Chu Boya showed him a faint smile, I don't know if it was Huo Chuxiao's illusion, he felt that the smile was also specially trained, otherwise it would be impossible to bend the angle just right, and it even made him feel like he just drew it intact , will be very beautiful.

"Ms. Huo, it's the first time we meet, do the coffee and snacks here suit your taste?"

Huo Chuxiao hesitated for a moment before shaking hands with him.He is a person with low body temperature all year round, and Chu Boya doesn't know if it's because he just finished work. After all, he heard that the heat of lighting is very high, so the palms of his hands are also extremely hot, which even makes him feel like he's being burned. illusion.

So Huo Chuxiao quickly withdrew his hand.

Chu Boya noticed his avoidance, but didn't express much, and said indifferently: "I'm a little busy at work, so I'm a little late, please forgive me."

Huo Chuxiao didn't expect to talk about work with the singer himself, so he didn't care.But after Chu Boya arrived, he really felt uncomfortable.

Especially being stared at by this person, Huo Chuxiao didn't even eat snacks.

Shen Li brought up the suggestion of accompanying filming again, and Chu Boya also spoke this time, saying that it would be very interesting if Painter Huo was accompanying him, and it might inspire him to create the content of the mv.

And the remuneration will never be low.

In fact, it was the last sentence that really moved Huo Chuxiao.

Who doesn't love to make a small buck?

So several people talked about some details, Shen Li said that the studio was responsible for buying air tickets and booking hotels, and Huo Chuxiao only needed to bring a suitcase.

Huo Chuxiao thought about it, but still said that he needed to go back and think about it. After all, he was going to travel with a bunch of strangers, so he still didn't mind.

Shen Li was very considerate and told him that he only needed to give him an answer within this month.

Huo Chuxiao nodded, got up and was about to say goodbye and leave.

But Chu Boya suddenly stopped him: "I'll see you off."

Huo Chuxiao was taken aback, did he know this fried chicken very well?But there's no need to refuse, it's just to take the elevator together.

With his character, he naturally wouldn't be the first to open his mouth to find a topic, so the two of them were silent for a few seconds in the elevator room, and Chu Boya spoke first.

"Painter Huo is indeed the same as in the rumors."

Huo Chuxiao raised his head in astonishment, "What?"

Chu Boya smiled slightly and said, "You have a reserved personality and don't like to talk. Every time you post a blog post on Weibo, the words are very concise."

Now Huo Chuxiao was even more surprised, "Have you followed my blog?"

Chu Boya tilted her head, pretending to be thinking on purpose, and after attracting enough attention from Huo Chuxiao, she smiled and said, "Of course I don't have a big one. I paid attention quietly with a small one."

Seeing that Huo Chuxiao didn't seem to understand the difference between large and small sizes, Chu Boya patiently explained: "If I pay attention directly with the large size, it may bring you unnecessary trouble."

Huo Chuxiao understood, and asked instead: "What are you paying attention to me?"

"Look at the painting." Chu Boya shrugged, "It is because I admire your paintings that I specially invite you to be my co-artist for this album."

Hearing what he said, Huo Chuxiao finally had a good impression of this person in front of him.

But at this time, the elevator made a "ding", indicating that it had reached the first floor.

Huo Chuxiao walked out, but turned around to find that Chu Boya was still standing there.

The popular fried chicken said to him in the elevator: "There are a lot of paparazzi around here, so I won't take you to the door, Mr. Huo, pay attention to safety on the road, and look forward to seeing you next time."

Saying that, he shook his hand at Huo Chuxiao.

What a strange person.

Huo Chuxiao thought about it, walked out of the building, and realized that he wanted to contact Ji Zongming.

As a result, as soon as he raised his mobile phone, he heard a car on the side of the road honking at him.

It was Ji Zongming's off-road vehicle.

Huo Chuxiao got into the car and found a bag of snacks on the passenger seat, which seemed to be bought by Ji Zongming from a nearby bakery.

He hugged the paper bag into his arms with some surprise, and asked Ji Zongming: "This is..."

"I bought it for you." Ji Zongming touched his nose, "Well, I just found a gift card from a nearby cake shop. They are all employee benefits prepared by the company's personnel department."

Huo Chuxiao only heard the first half of the sentence, and happily flipped through the desserts inside.

Seeing him happy, Ji Zongming himself was also a little happy. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly smelled something sharply through his nose.

He wrinkled his nose, checked the faint scent again, and asked hesitantly, "You... just went to talk about work?"

Huo Chuxiao didn't know why, so she looked up at him: "Yes."

When he said this, Ji Zongming naturally believed it, thinking that the other party was probably a woman who wore too much perfume, so he had to say: "Oh, it seems that people who work in the entertainment industry are very fashionable, and the perfume is so heavy. Such a short time of kung fu can be left on you."

Huo Chuxiao sniffed himself, and found that he couldn't smell it. Maybe it was because he had been with Chu Boya for a long time and got used to it, so he said casually: "Maybe they are all celebrities doing this. I was not used to it when I first smelled it. "

However, Ji Zongming immediately and keenly captured a key message: "Star? Didn't you say to talk to your manager?"

Huo Chuxiao: "Later that celebrity also came, and he seemed to take it seriously."

He also mentioned the travel invitation.

Originally, the point was that the salary was considerable, but Ji Zongming seemed to be completely different from what he thought.

The more Boss Ji listened to it, the more he felt that the alarm bells were ringing in his heart, and even the scent of perfume on his nose got in the way.

Fuck, it's the smell of another man.

He directly closed all the windows of the off-road, and even opened the panoramic sunroof. They were driving on the overpass at the moment, the speed of the car was not low, and the cold wind suddenly blew inside the car, blowing the paper bag in Huo Chuxiao's arms. clatter.

Huo Chuxiao's face was wrinkled by the wind, and his heart was at a loss.What is Ji Zongming doing? He got motion sickness?Emergency ventilation?Doesn't it mean that the driver cannot get motion sickness?

So Mr. Huo asked very considerately: "If you feel uncomfortable, let's stop by the side of the road first?"

Ji Zongming gritted his teeth: "I'm fine, I'm fine. The air outside is good, let's ventilate more."

However, in the next second, a fuel tank truck rumbled past.

The two in the car were silent for a few seconds.

In the end, Huo Chuxiao thoughtfully closed the car window again.

"Car exhaust...let's inhale less."

Boss Ji has nowhere to vent his anger, and what makes him most aggrieved is that he can't tell the truth to Huo Chuxiao.

Glancing at the passenger seat and seeing Huo Chuxiao happily flipping through the snacks, Ji Zongming felt his anger dissipate again.

The phone rang suddenly, Huo Chuxiao picked it up and looked at it, and was stunned.

Ji Zongming said: "Another call from Sao Ran?"

"No," Huo Chuxiao replied, "It's my sister-in-law."

Ji Zongming was also taken aback for a moment.

When the two of them got home, they saw that my sister-in-law had been waiting at the door for a long time.

This is the first time for Ji Zongming to see Aunt Huo Chuxiao. Although she is a generation older, she looks only in her 30s. She is well maintained and dressed in fashion. She is no different from the female employees in his company who are in their 20s. How much, when I heard Huo Chuxiao calling her sister-in-law, I couldn't react for a while.

When he also wanted to call her sister-in-law, the woman had already stared at him, showing her hostility towards him.

Ji Zongming then remained silent and quietly opened the door for the two of them.

Judging by Huo Chuxiao's attitude towards her, the relationship between the two should be very good, unlike his parents, so Ji Zongming also became cautious, for fear of offending her.

However, some people don't need to be offended, and the favorability value is already negative.

The sister-in-law looked at Ji Zongming coldly, looked him over from beginning to end, like a prison guard looking at a prisoner, and then followed Huo Chuxiao into the living room.

As soon as she came in, she immediately discovered that there were two people living in this house.

Just now on the phone, I heard Huo Chuxiao said that he and Ji Zongming were outside. My sister thought it was just a coincidence, but she saw Ji Zongming unlock the door, and there were pairs of things everywhere in the room. Two water glasses, even on the coat rack, there are obviously two styles of coats hanging.

The little aunt's heart tightened immediately, but she remembered that Chuxiao said back then that she didn't have a good impression of Ji Zongming, and she had already agreed to a divorce.What kind of trouble is this cohabitation posture now?

Could it be that Ji Zongming fell in love with Chu Xiao and forced Chu Xiao to live with him! ?

The younger sister's eyes on Ji Zongming instantly turned sharp, making him feel like an enemy.

He didn't offend this little girl, did he?Ji Zongming was puzzled, this was the first time seeing him.

However, the other party was Huo Chuxiao's family after all, and he enthusiastically poured water for the other party, and went to the kitchen to wash out some fruit, which had basically reached the limit of his friendliness towards a stranger.

The sister-in-law looked at him with cold eyes and said to herself: Sure enough, there are ghosts in his heart.

Huo Chuxiao sat down next to her and asked, "Sister, what's the matter?"

Only then did the aunt come back to her senses, remembering the purpose of her visit this time.

She held Huo Chuxiao's hand and said in a low voice: "Xiaoxiao, you should have heard about the Huo family, right?"

Huo Chuxiao: "I heard that both Big Brother and Chuhong have gone back to work."

The little aunt sighed when she heard it, she was about to say something, she glanced at Ji Zongming who was sitting beside her, and stopped talking again.

Ji Zongming looked at it and said in his heart, "OK, OK, I'll go."

He went back to his bedroom depressed.

The sister-in-law confirmed that he could not hear, and then continued: "You know what kind of temper Chu Ming is. If others don't provoke him, he will tease him. What's more, this time your father and his family are going to eat the whole Huo family. When he comes back this time, It's definitely not a good comer, it's not as simple as fighting for family property. Huo Chuhong has been secretly buying shares of retail investors recently, and he will also make moves there, and it's definitely not small. I remember you also have some shares of Huo's in your hand? At that time, if he comes to ask for it, and uses some cruel means, you..."

Huo Chuxiao listened for a while before she understood the meaning of my sister-in-law's visit this time.She was worried that the fight between the two brothers would affect him, a marginal figure.

He smiled and comforted him: "Sister-in-law, it's okay, big brother won't come to trouble me."

The aunt was stunned when she heard it.

Huo Chuxiao then told the story of Huo Chuming looking for him that time.

The aunt was stunned for a while after hearing this, as if she was in a daze or overthinking, she didn't even blink.

Huo Chuxiao called out tentatively, only then did my aunt react, and suddenly laughed twice, with a bit of ruthlessness on her face, she actually looked a little like Huo Chuming.

"Fuck... this kid is cruel enough."

Huo Chuxiao was puzzled, so my sister-in-law took his hand and lowered her voice: "Chu Ming suddenly mentioned to the company a few days ago that there is a potential big overseas customer who wants to cooperate with him. The tens of millions of contracts require Huo's to be a distributor. The market in the Greater China region has high profits, but the contract conditions are harsh and the liquidated damages are also high, but all aspects are attractive. If this project is really won, the market value of Huo’s is estimated to increase again. And as the No. [-] As a hero, his position in the company is basically solid. So after he mentioned this matter, Huo Chuhong also secretly contacted that client, intending to make a move, empty-handed. The two fought openly and covertly, and bit tightly. "

Huo Chuxiao: "So... my brother let me hold on to the shares? Because Huo's stock price is going to rise soon?"

The sister-in-law knocked him on the head, "Little fool, wrong! I just said... This kid has never looked down on the Huo family. Why did he suddenly return to China to work for Huo Yuanshan? He is going to completely destroy the Huo family." !

Look, there is definitely something wrong with the client he brought in from overseas.This order looks risky, but the profit is astonishing, and although the sales task is heavy, the domestic market has been in an uncultivated blue ocean. If it is successfully opened, follow-up sales will definitely not be a problem, so this high risk is essentially just an illusion. It's just a piece of fat in front of you.Huo Chuhong has definitely seen this, and has already regarded this project as a decisive battle between the two brothers for the inheritance of the Huo family.

Huo Chuming let you hold on to the shares, but also to cover himself.That brat Huo Chuhong has a lot of eyes, not to mention Qi Birong is behind him, do you think he won't suspect Huo Chuming's real purpose?This kid is now operating at two ends, while fighting for big clients with Huo Chuming on the open side, while secretly buying the company's stocks, he is afraid that Huo Chuming will join him.When the time comes, he will definitely come to you first to ask for the shares. With his superficial brotherhood in you for so many years, he predicts that you will definitely give it to him.

If you don't give it, he must be suspicious, and then guess whether Huo Chuming has worked hard on you.Once he is sure that it has something to do with Huo Chuming, he will completely believe that Huo Chuming really wants to compete with him for the Huo family when he comes back this time. "

Huo Chuxiao slowly opened his eyes wide: "So, he will also believe that Huo Chuming's big client is also real."

The sister-in-law showed a smirk, "That's right. This kid is trying to deceive Huo Chuhong completely. Damn, the child is grown up, and he still hides such a big thing from me, and I am too. I just figured it out just now. This Huo Chuming is full of bad moves."

She lit a cigarette, and said politely: "Otherwise, why would he only let you hold on to the stocks, but not mention anything else? With his means, he can get back the shares in your hand directly. This kid From the beginning, I didn't intend to rely on the Huo family to get a penny."

Huo Chuxiao was still in a daze, but the aunt turned her head and said to him seriously: "I think you should go out and hide for a while recently, as a leisure trip, the more you avoid Huo Chuhong, the more doubts he will have in his heart." Well, once people get suspicious, they will inevitably make mistakes. What's more, if Huo Chuming wants to make such a big mess, I'm afraid the whole Huo family will be ruined, so you don't get implicated, it's better to hide and be quiet first. "

When Huo Chuxiao heard this, he suddenly thought of the work meeting just now, "Ah, I do have a job invitation recently, and I need to travel..."

Before my sister could nod her head, she heard the door of the bedroom being knocked open, and Ji Zongming rushed out with great momentum.

"Don't worry, I'll be with him during this time."

The sister-in-law was so disturbed that the cigarette almost burned her hands, and she cursed: "Fuck, you have fucking ears? Can you hear me from so far away?"
