The plot collapsed after everyone thought it was rotten

The Qinhuai people were still leaning against Huo Chuxiao, but there was no hint of alcohol in the eyes they looked at Ji Zongming.

The colleagues in the studio don't know, and Huo Chuxiao naturally can't know, he can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, and just a few cups of Japanese shochu is far from getting drunk.

But pretending to be drunk, and using the name of being drunk to say something to Huo Chuxiao that you usually don't have the courage to say, it's still okay.

It's just that Ji Zongming was killed so that he could not die.

The two sides looked at each other, and they both knew their thoughts well, and they both sneered.

Ji Zongming: "Boss Qin seems quite drunk. I'm afraid something will go wrong when you go home like this. Chuxiao, you get in the car first. I'll call an ambulance for Boss Qin and go to the hospital to sober up."

Qin Huai could only stand up straight, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Boss Ji, for your concern. When the cold wind blows just now, I'm already half awake."

Ji Zongming also responded with a polite and cold smile, "That's good. Boss Qin, it's so late, I have to take Chuxiao home, so I won't see you off. Goodbye."

After all, he pulled Huo Chuxiao away from Qin Huai.

Qin Huai didn't have much emotion on his face, but he said in his heart, the CEO of the dignified company, he did things that he didn't agree with, and he only told him half a year ago to please do it yourself, now it's changed?

However, seeing Huo Chuxiao yawned, it could be seen that he was really sleepy, and he couldn't bother to pester him anymore, besides, today's opportunity had already been missed, and Huo Chuxiao obviously didn't understand what he just said, Boss Qin felt ashamed , also had to give up.

Wei Wei and the two bowed, turned and left on their own.

Ji Zongming didn't ease his mood because of his departure, but took Huo Chuxiao into the car with a dark face. He didn't say a word along the way, and it looked a little scary.

He was so depressed, even if he was as slow as Huo Chuxiao, he also noticed it, turned his head to look at him curiously, and asked, "What's wrong with you today? Also, why do Qin Huai and you both look weird?"

Ji Zong stared straight ahead without squinting, and said with a fake smile: "Is there? Your illusion."

Huo Chuxiao wondered, he had clearly noticed the strange atmosphere in the air just now, and thought that his ability to read the air had been strengthened, but now it seems that he is too sensitive?Sure enough, he is still not suitable for guessing other people's minds.

From the corner of his eyes, Ji Zongming saw that he seemed to be a little bit disappointed, and in an instant he regretted that he had spoken so coldly just now, so he softened his tone and said, "By the way, I'm passing by the bakery that you said last time it tastes good, do you want to buy some desserts? "

Huo Chuxiao stood up again and nodded.

Ji Zongming noticed that the atmosphere in the car had eased a bit, so he turned back to what he really wanted to say: "...After resigning from Jingjie, I should have had little contact with that group of people, right? This is a breakup meal? "

Huo Chuxiao said sincerely: "It doesn't count. After all, the art circle in this city is so big, and you should be able to get in touch with it in the future." He said as if thinking of something happy, "There are a few colleagues, please ask me to give them Let me introduce the draft request list." This incident made him suddenly feel that he has a certain status in the industry, and he couldn't help being a little proud.

I told Ji Zongming because he felt that as a friend, he would probably be happy for himself.

However, to his surprise, the air became a little colder in an instant, and Boss Ji began to feel low pressure again.

The circle is small, and the meaning behind the words is that it is inevitable that he will come into contact with that kid Qin Huai in the future, and Ji Zongming will not be happy no matter what.

Painter Huo was only half right. Ji Zongming was not very happy, but the reason for his displeasure, he pondered for a long time, finally came down to: the big boss must have encountered problems at work, and he was not in the mood to listen to him.

So Huo Chuxiao didn't want to be boring, so he kept his mouth shut for the rest of the journey, watching the night scene, or swiping his phone.

Ji Zongming noticed the change in his mood, and felt that he must have said something wrong just now, which caused Huo Chuxiao to remain silent. He couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, thinking of saying something to ease the atmosphere.

But no matter what he said after that, Huo Chuxiao remained indifferent, and even went to the cake shop to buy his favorite brownie, he seemed to lack interest.

He must have done something wrong. Shouldn't Qin Huai be driven away?No, Huo Chuxiao obviously has no overstepping feelings for that kid.Or did he just cross the line with a question about a colleague?But when Huo Chuxiao answered, he didn't look strange.

Ji Zongming couldn't understand it.But there was one thing he was quite sure of.

That was the first time he, who lived with absolute confidence in the first twenty years, questioned himself.

How to please Huo Chuxiao is actually a complicated and unsolvable problem.

After Mr. Xiao Huo resigned, he almost became a resident of the house. Except for going out for sketching, he implemented a policy of resolutely not going out.

However, he lived so reclusively, there was another advantage, that is, he avoided sneaking paparazzi to the greatest extent.

After Huo's turmoil, his number of fans on the Internet has reached a new level, and it is probably because of that incident that brought some broken traffic. The new fans no longer basically focus on his paintings like the old fans. They began to pursue him gradually as a real star, but it was a pity that Huo Chuxiao didn't give them any chance, and the picture of Ilya's gold award was almost completely covered.

Every time he publishes his manuscript, there will be fans wailing below. It’s okay if you can’t see it, you can’t even see your hands. I can count the barbs on his picture frame. What is Huo Chuxiao now? I don't know what it looks like yet.

"Thank you, it's another day of looking at paintings and thinking about people, the child is lying peacefully."

"Teacher Huo, take pity on me. I'm already starving."

"That is to say, if I don't see Painter Huo again, some of my qualities, such as my beautiful appearance, beautiful figure, and dignified character, will be destroyed."

"Family, use your own subjective initiative. Instead of waiting for Mr. H to post a selfie and wait for the sea to dry up, it's better to browse the materials of other houses, and you will find unexpected discoveries. Guide the way cby Chaochao."

"What, what! Is that the cby I was thinking of? Isn't that a celebrity? Why does it have something to do with our great painter?"

"I'm not qualified for star chasing. I didn't even know that Mr. Huo was hired to draw the album cover for him. Recently, their studio released the MV shooting highlights, which can capture Mr. Huo who fishes in the crew every day!"

"Grass, it's really fishing. No matter how I see it, everyone else in the tidbits is too busy. He is sitting on a chair eating potato chips by himself."

"There are new materials! The station sister in front of cby came to report. It seems that Teacher Huo was photographed in the studio. It seems to be to talk about work?"

"Hiss, did I read it wrong? How did the teacher get off an unusually familiar off-road vehicle..."

"That's right, that's the one."

"Ah, if I'm not mistaken, isn't Mr. J arranged for the teacher by that sb Huo's family?"

"Shhh, don't mention this. It is said that CP Chaohua has exploded, and it is full of heartbroken fans. Who would have thought that this kind of thing can happen to Fanzhen couples. Now some teachers and fans are checking in and the two are divorced. gone."

"These two people look so strange... Let's say it's a marriage. Boss J is so busy and alone, he personally sent the teacher to work. Tell the truth, why does Boss J look so stinky?"

"I still have a meeting in the afternoon, so I can't come here. You can take a taxi back by yourself then."

Ji Zongming said to Huo Chuxiao through the car window.

Huo Chuxiao didn't feel disappointed. In his opinion, it didn't make much difference whether to take Ji Zongming's car or take a taxi back home. If he was exhausted, there was a pillow specially prepared for him on the passenger seat of the off-road vehicle, making it more comfortable to sit on.

On the contrary, Ji Zongming looked unwilling.

He really didn't want Huo Chuxiao to have too much contact with that little celebrity surnamed Chu. During his trip to Hokkaido, he basically relied on a man's intuition and a little bit of observation to see that Chu Boya was interested in Chuxiao.

And since they came back, Chu Boya contacted Huo Chuxiao every now and then, instead of sending text messages, she made voice calls directly.Although the conversation was all about work, Ji Zongming didn't think his mind was really that simple.

After all, he was acting as a mannequin for Huo Chuxiao, and he didn't draw portraits for free!

Oh, they are all men, they all understand.

However, the big banner this kid is pulling is quite similar. Huo Chuxiao eats this, and can chat for a long time every time, and he shuts himself in the study and chats privately.

Boss Ji was so worried that he smoked so much.

He can't make his debut, let Huo Chuxiao design the CD cover for him! ?

This time it was even more aggressive, and he simply invited people to the company for an interview.

Ji Zongming always had a bad feeling that Chu Boya was not just talking about work this time.He even started to think about whether to send the driver of his company, who usually has nothing to do, to wait for Huo Chuxiao.

In the end, when I went to the company to ask, the driver was taken away by Yu Zhen, who said that he went to Linshi with him and was expected to come back tomorrow.

A driver who spends 30 and a half days fishing in 29 days a month, how the hell is he alive now! ?

Boss Ji seriously suspected that Yu Zhen was a spy sent by the opposite side, so he lit a cigarette sadly.

For a while, the office was filled with real gloom.

But Chu Boya was more professional than he thought.He invited Huo Chuxiao to the company this time because of work. The MV has been released, and the proof of the physical album has also come down. He has to ask Huo Chuxiao to come and see for himself whether there are any flaws or chromatic aberrations.After all, part of their publicity is on Huo Chuxiao himself. Under the banner of a cutting-edge artist designing the entire album himself, they can't go on business trips. Otherwise, not only will they be questioned, but Huo Chuxiao himself may also be affected.

Huo Chuxiao naturally couldn't have thought of this. He thought that the other party attached great importance to the art elements in the album and was quite happy, so he didn't shirk it, and immediately agreed to take a look.

This time the meeting was not arranged at the small clubhouse last time, but was directly booked within the company.

It was the first time for Huo Chuxiao to enter the headquarters of an entertainment company. Looking at the interior which was obviously different from the general company's decoration, plus all kinds of stylishly dressed staff who came and went in a hurry, he was a little dazed all of a sudden.

This place is somewhat similar to Ji Zongming's company. It is full of vitality, and the employees are generally young.

What surprised him the most was that there were still some of his fans.

As soon as Huo Chuxiao entered, he met a lady head-on, and shook hands with him enthusiastically. He handed over his business card and introduced himself, saying that he had always admired him and so on. After Huo Chuxiao barely managed it, Shen Licai arrived.

He whispered, "The little employees here are quite familiar... After you wait for a few minutes, four or five people will come to me and ask for my autograph."

Shen Li laughed, "That's not a small employee, Mr. Huo, that's our vice president."

Huo Chuxiao opened his eyes instantly.

Seeing him like this, Shen Li couldn't help laughing and said: "It seems that you have no concept of your own popularity at all. Now it is said on the Internet that we made a good move and decided to cooperate with you long ago. It’s a great bargain. Come, come, please, let’s go to the meeting room first.”

There were quite a lot of people in the conference room. Huo Chuxiao took a quick look around and found that they were basically some core employees who followed him to shoot the MV. They were very enthusiastic when they met him. He also knew that he likes sweets, so he had already prepared a bunch of paper cups. Let him eat and watch the cake without too much pressure.

Huo Chuxiao said in his heart that he wasn't under any pressure at first, but after all the tossing all the way, he was a little scared.

The cooperative manufacturer that the studio found was very reliable. It basically restored the colors of Huo Chuxiao's paintings, and the resolution was also very good. He couldn't see anything else, so he nodded obediently, indicating that he had passed the test.

Chu Boya was not present at the meeting, which surprised him a bit, but considering that the other party is a big star with a lot of drafts, he understands.

A group of people chattered and sorted out some opinions, and finally ended the meeting.The meeting lasted for more than an hour, but Huo Chuxiao felt that he only participated in it for 10 minutes, and the rest of the time was the same as in Hokkaido, just two words, fishing.

At the end, the group of people thanked him one by one for taking time out of their busy schedules, and before leaving, they stuffed him with a big bag of snacks that were said to be produced by the company itself. A female employee even told him mysteriously that they were all low-calorie. Sweets, the favorite of the stars in the company.

Huo Chuxiao just went downstairs with a big bag of snacks, and those who didn't know thought that he went to the bakery upstairs to buy them.

Shen Li walked him all the way to the door of the company, and said intimately that he had called a car for him.

As soon as I went out, I saw a private car parked in front of the door as expected. The car film was so tightly pasted that I couldn't see what was inside.

Huo Chuxiao thanked him, opened the rear door and sat in.

He didn't think much about it, and reported the address, only to hear the "driver" smile and say: "Okay, the driver Xiao Chu is at your service."

This sound!

Huo Chuxiao suddenly raised his head, facing Chu Boya's smiling gaze from the rearview mirror.

"You..." Huo Chuxiao was taken aback and stuttered, "Why are you..."

"Why am I here?" Chu Boya asked for him, and then answered on her own, "Because Mr. Huo is a distinguished guest invited by the studio, so naturally he should enjoy the five-star treatment."

Huo Chuxiao blinked, and made clear his attitude: I'm lying to ghosts.

Seeing his little expression, Chu Boya couldn't help laughing, "I'm teasing you, I confess, I did it on purpose, just to send you home. I'm resting today, I have nothing to do anyway, so I came to chase stars. "

Huo Chuxiao communicated with him a lot recently, but he developed a little sensitivity, and rushed out of the car to look around, "There won't be any paparazzi to catch it."

Chu Boya had already driven the car onto the main ring road, glanced at him in the rearview mirror, and said meaningfully: "Why, Mr. Huo is afraid of spreading rumors with me?"

Huo Chuxiao muttered: "You didn't keep saying that paparazzi would take pictures of you, and you dared not come out when you hid in the elevator..."

Chu Boya smiled softly and said, "Ms. Huo is used to remembering every sentence that others have said so clearly, or is it just me who remembers so clearly?"

Huo Chuxiao said dully: "Huh?"

Seeing that he didn't understand, Chu Boya didn't explain much, and didn't force the answer any more. She just turned on the car stereo and played her own single.

Huo Chuxiao knew that it was a song from his new album, and he had listened to those songs and painted the album cover, and he was so familiar that he was almost able to sing.

Chu Boya can compose lyrics and music by himself, and there are two or three songs in the album that can be completely entrusted to him to compose. Huo Chuxiao listened to it a lot, and found it very pleasing to the ear, and then felt that this big star really has something real.

He unconsciously followed the song, and pointed at the paper bag with his fingers. Chu Boya obviously heard it, and asked, "Do you like it?"

"Ok?"

"I said, do you like my song?"

"Ah."

Huo Chuxiao said sincerely: "It sounds quite reassuring."

Chu Boya: "That's really a coincidence."

"What's the coincidence?"

Chu Boya showed a prepared smile, "I also feel at ease when I see Teacher Huo's paintings."

Huo Chuxiao just listened to the previous conversations, but when it came to this sentence, he suddenly blushed a little, turned his head away, and wondered if this Chu Boya had become a star and had an occupational disease, anytime, anywhere Like exuding charm on stage.Using the new vocabulary he learned in his comment section: a guy who knows how to do business.

Of course, what fans commented on him was that it's best not to be a man.

In the carriage, the scent of Chu Boya's perfume was everywhere, but it seemed to be a little lighter and softer than the previous few encounters. It seemed that the perfume was changed. Turned on the heater, and when the heat was turned on, it still smelled like tea.

Huo Chuxiao was so intoxicated by the aroma that he fell asleep, but fortunately, the journey was not long, and he saw the signboard of his own community in a short time.

He originally wanted to get off at the entrance of the community. The security of their community is well managed, and non-registered vehicles have to go through complicated procedures to get a temporary pass. Huo Chuxiao feels that no matter how unsociable he is, he knows how not to give it to others. I just want to bid farewell here for the reason of trouble.

Unexpectedly, Chu Boya had already put on her sunglasses, and went to get a pass with the security guard.

He sat in the back row, feeling a little helpless for a while.

The back view of Chu Boya standing in the security booth going through the formalities, she looks unexpectedly tall, and she looks like a neighbor.

Before getting along with him, we were basically in his working state, and most of the clothes he wore were fashion, exaggerated and exquisite, and his face was always wearing makeup. All in all, it was very unusual, and the whole person was packaged by the team of stylists very fiercely. The temperament makes people unable to move their eyes away, but it also adds a lot of distance.

This time, Chu Boya was indeed wearing private clothes, casual clothes, and his hairstyle had not been carefully taken care of, and he did not wear exaggerated jewelry. The sharp sense of distance faded from his whole body, instead highlighting his own gentle demeanor. field.

For a moment, Huo Chuxiao felt that the person in front of him was just an ordinary friend, without any celebrity aura, nor did he receive any attention.

After Chu Boya completed the paperwork, she waved at him, looking more like a neighbor.

When he got into the car, he stuck his pass in front of the windshield, turned his head and smiled at Huo Chuxiao, "It will be more convenient to send Teacher Huo home in the future."

Huo Chuxiao: "...Are the first-line celebrities so free?"

Chu Boya took off her sunglasses and looked up at him, "It depends on who it is for."

Huo Chuxiao didn't speak, and thought to himself: As expected of a songwriter, just a line of lyrics.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Chu Boya was not disappointed, and drove Huo Chuxiao to the downstairs of the unit, but unexpectedly got out of the car.

Huo Chuxiao looked at him warily.

Chu Boya spread her hands and smiled, "Don't be so nervous, I just thought, I'm already here, why don't you take me up for a stroll? Let me also see Mr. Huo's studio."

Huo Chuxiao originally wanted to refuse.It's not that he doesn't want to bring people upstairs, after all, he doesn't live alone, Ji Zongming also lives there, if he takes people home without saying hello, what if he makes Boss Ji unhappy?

But Chu Boya probably saw that he wanted to refuse, so she immediately made a pitiful expression, and coquettishly called him an idol.

Huo Chuxiao was shocked by his shouting. Although it sounded awkward and anxious, he couldn't refuse for a while because of his expression.

Looking at the time, Ji Zongming should still be at work, he sighed and agreed.

In fact, there is nothing to do in their house, with a total area of ​​less than [-] square meters, but the decoration is good, and the interior seems to have a lot of space.

Chu Boya walked around, looked at his paintings on the wall seriously, and went to the study to sit. She seemed very polite throughout the whole process, and she didn't feel like a big star looked down on Little House at all.

Just walking back to the porch again, his expression suddenly changed.

Huo Chuxiao felt strange, followed his line of sight, and saw Ji Zongming's pair of leather shoes in front of the shoe cabinet, he wondered, what's there to look at, and you're staring at it so seriously?

Chu Boya adjusted her expression, then turned around and asked him with a smile: "Doesn't the teacher live alone?"

Huo Chuxiao: "Yes, there is also Ji Zongming. You have seen him, the one who took me to the airport last time."

Chu Boya: "...that friend?"

Huo Chuxiao nodded.

Chu Boya thought about something, and her face became more and more gloomy, but when she faced herself, she always looked like a spring breeze, and after a few brief chats, she left.

Huo Chuxiao didn't take this matter to heart.

Until Ji Zongming came home from get off work.

Boss Ji almost worked overtime until late at night, but after all, he was worried about Huo Chuxiao, so he came back before eleven o'clock.

As soon as he entered the house, his nerves tensed for some reason.I can't even explain it myself, it's just a reaction for no reason, very similar to a wild animal aware of an enemy intruding into its territory, but there is no clue for a while.

Huo Chuxiao seemed to be doing everything as usual, he was painting in the study and greeted him when he heard the sound.

Ji Zongming looked around vigilantly, and walked into the study, feeling even more nervous.

And now, he finally found that clue.

He wrinkled his nose, and asked angrily in surprise, "Fuck, Chu Boya is here!?"
