Do not lie to me

Shang Xuechen arrived at the furnished lobby on the twentieth floor of the hotel, stood at the door, took a look and did not go in, and called Ji Shuping to come out.Ji Shuping brought a small assistant to the entrance of the hall to pick up Shang Xuechen.

Shang Xuechen had no intention of going in at all, handed over the plan in his hand to Ji Shuping and was about to leave, but Ji Shuping held him back, "I'm here, it happens that I'm short of manpower, so you come and fill in for me." Assistant."

Shang Xuechen glanced at the little assistant who followed him, "I don't think you are short of people."

Ji Shuping raised his hand holding the document, and the assistant behind him immediately came to take the document, "Send the document back to my office." The assistant nodded while holding the document, without even looking up at Shang Xuechen, and walked around him to sit down elevator.Ji Shuping twitched at Shang Xuechen, "Now I'm short of people around me."

Shang Xuechen's right eye twitched when he saw it, and he felt that there was nothing good about it, "Didn't that document be very important? Why did you just give it away to someone else?"

"It's important to say it's important, and it's not important to say it's not important. The key is who is going to see this document, and it's not that important after seeing everything that should be seen. It's just a plan I drafted." Ji Shuping As he said that, he turned and walked towards the venue, and when he turned his head, he gave Shang Xuechen a look, "Follow me."

Shang Xuechen was still pondering over what he just said, he stared back at him, without thinking much, he obediently followed Ji Shuping's footsteps into the infield.After walking for a while, he gradually picked up on what he just said.So who has read this draft plan before it becomes unimportant?After much deliberation, I feel that Ji Shuping was fooling himself from the very beginning, if it was important, I didn't see how nervous he was even after spilling coffee last night!It's just to relieve myself today!

Thinking about it like this made him feel uneasy, he was free to do whatever he wanted yesterday, and he was not allowed to sleep early today.Do you know how hard the countertop of the bar is? Lying on it and being rubbed by someone, your back hurts like being scraped.Today, he was recruited by a phone call, Shang Xuechen stared at Ji Shuping's back, and scolded him as Huang Shiren in his heart!

Followed Ji Shuping to the backstage lounge, leaning against the door, happened to see Yao Caier wrapped in a bathrobe and putting on makeup, surrounded by a group of people, makeup, hair, and matching clothes for her.There were many people around her, and no one noticed the two people standing at the door.Shang Xuechen saw Yao Caier in front of the dressing table in the gap between the passing crowd. She was really pretty. Thinking of the photos Hang Qing showed him, hiding behind Ji Shuping and unscrupulously looking at Yao Caier, there was no need to fix it So much, the nose is high, the mouth is small, the chin is not padded, and the forehead is not filled like a birthday boy, so it looks more natural.

Having seen enough of Yao Caier's face and appraised her plastic surgery, Shang Xuechen turned his gaze away and used his elbow to punch Ji Shuping's back, "You just stand at the door and don't go in?"

"There are a lot of people in a hurry. They have to stop their work and greet me one by one. The press conference is about to start. I just came to have a look and make sure they can catch up with the start time. Why bother to go in and make trouble .”

Shang Xuechen raised his eyebrows, and continued to look at the busy people in the lounge, "It turns out that you are doing the coordinating work, check everywhere."

"I'm a manager, so I don't have to check everywhere in real time like the coordinator. I don't have to go in to say hello, and I have arranged for someone to confirm their preparations for me."

As soon as Ji Shuping finished speaking, Shang Xuechen knew who he had arranged to follow up with Yao Caier.Zhou Yuan brought the coffee to Yao Caier's hand. Yao Caier was about to drink it when she was stopped by the makeup artist, "This will ruin the lip makeup that was just put on."

Yao Caier may be used to an unrestrained life after being praised by others for a long time, and she didn't take the make-up artist's stop seriously, "Anyway, I have to do my hair for a while, and I will put on my lip makeup later, otherwise I will do hair and clothes in the middle." For a long time, you let me wait with my mouth idle?" After speaking, he lowered his head and took a sip of coffee, and immediately frowned after drinking, "Why is this coffee sour and bitter? Is there no sugar added? Or has it been left for a long time in hot weather?"

Zhou Yuan smiled and passed a candy, "This is not the instant coffee in the supermarket, but the coffee brewed from the Blue Mountain coffee beans bought in Japan. Our boss likes to drink it very much."

Shang Xuechen wanted to laugh when he saw this scene, his face was slapped face to face, he thought he had entered the entertainment industry to meet the world, but in the end it was still a pheasant that didn't make it to the stage.

Yao Caier raised her eyebrows with a domineering look, and unceremoniously snatched the candy from Zhou Yuan's hand, "You pretend I don't understand, it's because the coffee is too hot, it burned my mouth."

Zhou Yuan smiled and said nothing, raised her head and glanced at the door.Shang Xuechen hurriedly hid behind Ji Shuping, afraid of being seen by her. He didn't go back to sleep for many days, and now he suddenly appeared and stayed with Ji Shuping again. If he was asked, Shang Xuechen really didn't know How do you explain it, tell Zhou Yuan directly that I am your boss' bed partner?

Hiding behind Ji Shuping, Shang Xuechen didn't know if Zhou Yuan saw him or not, and hid behind Ji Shuping, tugging at his suit, "Let's go." After speaking, he turned around and left the waiting room.Hearing someone coming up behind him, he knew it was Ji Shuping without even thinking about it, "Do you like to drink Blue Mountain?"

"I don't like it very much, after all, the taste is different."

Shang Xuechen folded his arms, how much people who usually drink Blue Mountain would look down on him for coffee that he has not had any technical content. Thinking of this, Shang Xuechen suddenly stopped in his tracks, "The Blue Mountain you usually drink Zhou Yuan rushed for you?"

Ji Shuping stopped beside him, "When I went to the office, she prepared the coffee for me."

Shang Xuechen glanced sideways at the person beside him, "I didn't know she could make coffee."

Ji Shuping didn't care about Shang Xuechen's uncomfortable tone, and continued to walk forward, "Go to the venue and have a look, the arrangement should be almost done."

Shang Xuechen looked at Ji Shuping's back as he walked away. Zhou Yuan never saw her make coffee when she was at home, but she often ate cakes.Blue mountain beans are expensive and rare. Not everyone can grind and cook them casually to get a good flavor.Ji Shuping stopped and glanced at Shang Xuechen who was standing still. Shang Xuechen raised his heels and walked in front of Ji Shuping, "Did you buy the blue mountain yourself?"

"My itinerary and meals are usually arranged by Zhou Yuan. The coffee is probably bought by her, and I will reimburse the company at the end of the month."

Shang Xuechen smirked wickedly, "Then she will flatter you. But I don't know if I also learned the cooking method specially for the coffee beans that I found a way to bring back from Japan."

Ji Shuping reached out to pinch his earlobe and kept grinding, "Are you..."

Before he could say the word jealous, Shang Xuechen opened his hand and blocked Ji Shuping's words with "fart".

After Shang Xuechen finished speaking, he walked forward on his own. Liu Ji Shuping curled up his mouth alone, but after a while, his face became serious again. He recalled what Shang Xuechen said just now, it was specially brought back from Japan coffee beans.Thinking of this, he frowned and his face was gloomy.

The front of the arena was almost set up, and the people who entered the arena wearing press cards began to take their seats.The music started, and the promotional video began to play on the LED screen behind it.The host on the stage came out and spoke the introduction, and Shang Xuechen stood behind Ji Shuping and watched the host mobilize the enthusiasm of the reporters invited below.I couldn't help but interjected and asked Ji Shuping, "Have you prepared red envelopes for the reporters? It seems that the atmosphere in the host's venue is not enough."

Ji Shuping nodded, "I'm ready."

Shang Xuechen looked into the venue again. The hostess was carrying a tray to distribute mineral water to the reporters with cannon cameras underneath. Send out a bottle of water, along with a red envelope.Shang Xuechen counted the seats of reporters in the audience, and calculated the approximate amount of red envelopes to be given, which made his liver hurt.

"You invited so many reporters and prepared so many red envelopes, which account will the red envelopes be counted on? Can you still make money from this project?"

Ji Shuping turned the wooden ring in his hand, and glanced sideways at Shang Xuechen behind him, without raising his eyelids. Shang Xuechen remembered the look in his eyes when he was feeding the fish. Pets of the mind.Shang Xuechen naturally saw the teasing in his eyes, but he didn't understand, and felt that his worry was very reasonable.His client's son is so picky about raising an internet celebrity, and he is conservative and willing to spend money to invite so many reporters to create a buzz?

At this time, the host on the stage raised his voice, "We have invited our guest for this event, Miss Yao Caier, who is also the spokesperson of this event, to show us the latest underwear."

Yao Caier appeared in a low-cut tulle floor-sweeping gown amidst the host's long list of compliments. The design of the gown was just right, and the V-neck was opened to the chest, revealing the delicately designed lace underwear inside. The wind brought by it made the robe open from the side to reveal the thighs, making it look curvy and enchanting without being too erotic/erotic. It really took a lot of effort.

Yao Caier took the microphone from the host, twisted her waist and made several poses, and then began to praise the comfort of the underwear.The reporters below raised their cameras and started taking pictures.The flashing eyes of the crowd of cameras made Shang Xuechen almost think that Ji Shuping was not the invited reporter, but a bunch of Leigong and Dianmu who were invited back to kill Yao Caier on stage.

Shang Xuechen was so shaken by the camera that he couldn't open his eyes. Ji Shuping stretched out his arms and hugged him behind his back so as to block those flashing lights, and then explained to him calmly, "I didn't invite the reporter. Yao Caier won this endorsement because my uncle asked me to let the client finalize it. He invited these reporters, so that no one will mention Yao Caier’s negative gossip in the questioning session later. The marketing accounts that have been purchased will consistently send Yao Caier’s refined pictures of her in underwear, and Shuijun and Hot Search have also been bought. The red envelopes are also prepared by my uncle to help Yao Caier bribe reporters, and the red envelopes sent to reporters will not go to our company’s account. You can also ask the client more for the reporter's labor costs, as well as the promotion fee, which is both human and profitable, how can you not do it?"

Shang Xuechen hid behind Ji Shuping's back, looked up at Ji Shuping's hair Xuan'er and thought, businessman, businessman, it's really a matter of two benefits.He remembered what the chairman had said beating him. Compared with Ji Shuping, he seemed to be the bigger fool.

Looking over Ji Shuping's shoulder, he looked at the radiant Yao Cai'er on the stage.Yao Cai'er did sit on stage in Xu Xueshi's father's entertainment city back then.Xu Xueshi went back to China and asked Hang Qing to help him launder money, but he didn't look for Yao Cai'er?It stands to reason that investing in a movie launders money faster than falsifying transaction records in Hang Qing's studio hut.

Shang Xuechen withdrew his gaze and looked at Ji Shuping again. Xu Xueshi wanted to cooperate with Ji's real estate. Could it be that he didn't look for Yao Caier because he knew that Ji Shuping's mother and uncle had a bad relationship?But Xu Xueshi has something in hand that can make Jishi Real Estate cooperate with him.According to Shang Xuechen, what Xu Xueshi knows is dirty money and "chocolate beans".Could it be that Xu Xueshi returned to his old business, and the money Hang Qing laundered for him was the money he got from selling "chocolate beans"?He has a recipe for "chocolate beans"?

Shang Xuechen felt that he had to find out Xu Xueshi's movements immediately.He poked Ji Shuping's back from behind, "What project does Xu Xueshi plan to cooperate with Ji Shi?"

Ji Shuping was still watching the interaction between Yao Caier and the host on the stage, he didn't turn around, so Shang Xuechen didn't see him raise his eyebrows slightly, "Not sure."

Shang Xuechen continued to poke Ji Shuping's spine from behind, "I told you that Xu Xueshi is laundering money, and you don't care about your own business. What if you get involved and get investigated?"

"If you want to cooperate, you have to go through the board of directors first. I haven't heard a meeting of the board of directors for new project cooperation recently."

Shang Xuechen withdrew his hand, didn't poke Ji Shuping again, and muttered softly, "That's okay." He thought that the scene was loud and Ji Shuping couldn't hear him, so he didn't see Ji Shuping's drooping hand tremble.Shang Xuechen only wanted to find out Xu Xueshi's intention as soon as possible. He had a bargaining chip in his hand, so he could figure out his purpose. When the time came to negotiate, he would be the active party.

The flashing spotlight was on on the stage, but the cameras of the reporters in the audience were still flashing non-stop. The flashing light was like a pyrotechnic stick of memory being ignited and sparking, scalding the skin.Shang Xuechen was dizzy from being photographed next to him, and his vision began to become unclear. It was because the sparks ignited by the fireworks stick scattered his focus, and he saw the red tail of the butterfly-tailed goldfish fanning the water in a trance.Seeing the back of the double shadow of the person in front of him in a blur, he subconsciously grabbed Ji Shuping's suit from behind, and then Ji Shuping turned around, looked at him with his head down and asked, "What's wrong?"

Shang Xuechen held on to Ji Shuping's suit jacket and hung his head weakly.Sensing his abnormality, Ji Shuping reached out and pinched his chin, making him look up into his eyes, and asked again, "What's wrong with you?"

When Shang Xuechen looked up, he first saw Ji Shuping's eyes, and stared at them for a long time, as if he was confirming the person in front of him, his eyes gradually focused, but then he saw the spotlight on the stage projecting towards his eyes flashed by.Shang Xuechen was startled by the unintentional light swept by that technique, he closed his eyes in fright and immediately hugged the neck of the person in front of him, Ji Shuping hugged him naturally, his heavy body fell into the familiar arms pretending to be panic My heart became heavy and light again.This hug was not seeking comfort from the light, but because he remembered that this man had promised him, and now he was a safe haven, so he just wanted to stay in his arms before the fear flooded his body and flooded his limbs. in the arms.

His mind gradually gathered again, and the dissipated voices in his ears became clear again. He heard the noisy voices on the stage, and a soft sentence in his ears, "What's wrong with you?" Blocking, maybe the panic that caught him off guard before occupying his body, blocked his channel for help, preventing him from making any calls for help.

Shang Xuechen closed his eyes and buried his head in front of Ji Shuping's chest, clutching his suit collar tightly, and just shook his head when he heard his question.Ji Shuping glanced around, the atmosphere on stage was just right, the audience responded positively, no one cared about the panic in this corner.Ji Shuping grabbed his shoulders, wanting to take him away, but in a hurry, he stroked his head first, and said, "I'll take you to the lounge." To reassure him.

Hearing Ji Shuping's voice, she buried her head in his chest and nodded, then followed his footsteps to the direction he led.I don't know if it's Ji Shuping's privilege as a manager, or because of the peace of mind of following him with his head buried and eyes closed, he made it to the lounge without hindrance.Ji Shuping led him to sit on the sofa, this time when Shang Xuechen asked him what was wrong, he finally spoke calmly.

"I have a stomachache."

"Stomach pain?" Ji Shuping suddenly remembered that when Shang Xuechen became different last time, in addition to the psychological panic, it seemed that there was also something wrong with his stomach physically.Is there another obstacle in emotional coping?But what was the stimulus that frightened him?

Ji Shuping turned around and poured him a cup of hot water, and handed it to him.Shang Xuechen lowered his head and took it, holding the paper cup in his hand.Ji Shuping sat down beside him and asked him, "Isn't it a stomachache? Why don't you drink?"

Shang Xuechen still lowered his head and said, "I can't drink it."

"Is it because I can't drink it or I don't want to drink it?"

After hesitating for a while, Shang Xuechen replied, "I don't really want to drink."

Ji Shuping took the paper cup from his hand, it seemed that his body wanted to shield all foreign objects, not a real stomachache.Reaching out to cover his stomach for him, "Is it better now?"

Shang Xuechen still hung his head, and Ji Shuping used the hand that was holding his shoulder to move his head, letting him lean on his shoulder, as easily as pushing a doll that can shake its head, leaning on it easily. on the shoulders.

Seeing that he didn't answer his question, the hand covering his stomach gradually moved up and covered his chest, "It shouldn't be the stomach, maybe it hurts here."

Shang Xuechen reached out and grabbed his hand covering his chest, still leaning on his shoulder, "Ji Shuping, at that time you..." He stopped before finishing speaking.

"what do you wish to ask?"

"It's okay." Afraid to ask him to let him know that he actually remembered, and he actually remembered it later.Shang Xuechen let go of the hand that was holding him, and was about to straighten up, but just as his head was about to leave Ji Shuping's shoulder, he was pinned down, "Does it not hurt?"

He wanted to say it, but he couldn't say the simple words easily, so he could only continue to lean on.Ji Shuping took him to lie on the sofa.He lay on Ji Shuping's chest, listening to his heartbeat gradually calming down, he remembered what happened that day again, he vividly expressed the word "contradictory" in himself, he pressed against Ji Shuping's chest and thought, why is it that I am afraid You, you are the one who can calm me down?

Ji Shuping didn't ask him if he was alright, but he also enjoyed the tranquility of this moment.The two lay quietly without speaking, but after all, this short warm moment was broken by someone.Someone rushed into the lounge recklessly, yelling, "Something happened to the manager!" After yelling, seeing the scene inside, he immediately lost his voice, and stood at the door with an embarrassed expression on his face.

Shang Xuechen jumped up from the sofa almost as soon as that person rushed in. Although the action was fast, it was a bit late. The person who came in saw the scene of them lying on the sofa together, and could only stand awkwardly on the sofa. Sideways, sideways to avoid the sneaky probing gazes.Ji Shuping also looked a little worried, but he was not surprised like Shang Xuechen, he slowly sat up from the sofa, smoothed out the folds of his suit, "Speak well, don't yell loudly, it scares people. "

Shang Xuechen glanced at Ji Shuping, and when he turned his head, he happened to meet the eyes of the person standing at the door, and the two people who met their eyes immediately avoided in tacit understanding.Shang Xuechen lowered his head thinking, is he talking about me?And the person standing at the door was also thinking, is the manager teaching me a lesson?
