Lu Mengxin returned to the auditorium from the backstage, and the party was coming to an end, wave after wave of awards presenters and a group of famous directors and actors took photos together in front of the stage.

He looked around, but did not see Fade Chen.

Lu Mengxin thought to himself, this is probably the first time for him to come to this kind of occasion, don't play too much.

A group of people walked down from the stage, and then the leader of the sponsor came to the stage to give a speech.

Seeing this, Lu Mengxin deliberately lowered the brim of his hat, hugged the machine, and walked through the crowd with a stooped body.

Back in the underground parking lot, Lu Mengxin got in the car, raised his hand and glanced at his watch again.It's still early, if his guess is correct, after the party, Sheng Hui will invite several famous directors and actors to have dinner together.

Lu Mengxin took out his mobile phone and called Fade Chen.

There was a calm busy tone from the other end of the phone, and after 1 minute, I heard the cold voice of the customer service lady, "Hi, the number you dialed is temporarily unanswered, please try again later."

Lu Mengxin cut off the phone and collapsed on the car seat. He didn't sleep all night. At this time, when the drowsiness came to his head, he didn't care about where this kid Fade Chen went.

Guessing that people wouldn't go too far, Lu Mengxin didn't think much, closed his eyes and took a nap.

This sleep lasted for several hours. Lu Mengxin woke up from the cold when she opened her eyes again. When she looked up, the parking lot was dark.

He felt something was wrong, wiped his face, and looked at the time, it was already four o'clock in the morning.

But Fade Chen hasn't come back yet!

Lu Mengxin finally realized that something was wrong, hurriedly got out of the car and returned to the hotel.

The door of the hall where the party was held was closed, and there were only a few waiters on duty inside and outside the hotel who were still guarding the elevator entrances on each floor, squinting and dozing off, looking sleepy and lacking energy.

Lu Mengxin ran back and forth twice until she was sure that the party was indeed over, and even the cleaner in charge of cleaning had already gone home from get off work.

He took out his mobile phone and dialed a series of numbers again. This time, there was no busy signal from the receiver, only a cold female voice, "Hello, the phone you dialed has been turned off..."

Lu Mengxin's forehead twitched and his chest thumped wildly. The inexplicable uneasiness was gradually magnified, swallowing his previous calm and calmness.

Early the next morning, Lao Li drove Gao Jinyang to the gate of Shenghui.

At the end of yesterday's party, Gao Jinyang finished his speech and left early, leaving only his assistant Wen Xianting and a group of high-level executives to take care of the rest.

Lao Li saw that he seemed to be in a good mood today, so he couldn't help but quickly flattered him: "Mr. Gao... Seeing that you look good these two days, is there anything good for you?"

Gao Jinyang got out of the car with one leg, turned to him and said, "You can't see good things, but there are many people who do good things."

After entering the door, Sheng Hui's subordinates nodded and greeted Mr. Gao when they saw Mr. Gao.

Gao Jinyang didn't make a sound, walked past them expressionlessly, got into the elevator, and took a deep breath.

During this period of time, the company was busy preparing for "The Sound of Scream", and the boss himself had to bear the brunt of working overtime for several days, and he hadn't had a good rest for a long time.

The elevator door opened, and Gao Jinyang walked out.

Miss Secretary Zheng Wenting saw him with a professional smile on her face, "Mr. Gao, good morning."

Gao Jinyang has never liked to talk too much with his subordinates, especially female subordinates. He always avoids them when he can.

Right now, Zheng Wenting followed his footsteps into the office, the door was still open, she still kept a businesslike attitude, "President Gao, someone came to see you early in the morning, and you are still waiting in the reception room, do you think we need to meet? "

Gao Jinyang frowned and thought for a few seconds, "Is there no invitation this morning?"

"Yes, the person who didn't come here claims to be an old acquaintance with you, so you will definitely meet him." Zheng Wenting replied softly, "That person's name is Lu Mengxin, and he is a subordinate of Chen's department."

The Mr. Chen that Zheng Wenting said was Chen Mingjie. Gao Jinyang knew that there was no mistake in the person coming, so he raised his hand and said, "Call the person in."

After struggling all night, Lu Mengxin had nowhere to go, so she returned to Shenghui, found Gao Jinyang, and wanted to beg for his help.

He thought for a whole morning that Fade Chen's disappearance would not be that simple. If it was just the wanton revenge of his peers, it would take more than ten hours for Fade Chen to hear about it.

But now it has been a whole night, and the other party neither called him to inform him nor revealed the news of Fade Chen's disappearance.

Lu Mengxin didn't know what to do with this group of people.

On the way here, Lu Mengxin took a deep look at his circle of people. Everyone who has the ability to help has neither position nor responsibility for him.

Furthermore, to put it bluntly, he is a paparazzi, and Fade Chen is a paparazzi following him.

Being a paparazzi is easy to make enemies with insiders, so you should be prepared for this.

Now want their help, very few are willing to lend a helping hand.

During this period, Lu Mengxin unconsciously thought of An Yuan. As one of the most popular male stars, An Yuan's popularity in the circle would not be worse than him.As long as he can help inquire about Fade Chen's whereabouts, Lu Mengxin will definitely be willing to thank him in the future.

As he thought about it, he took out his mobile phone and dialed a series of numbers.

There were two beeps from the microphone, and before the person on the other end picked up the phone, Lu Mengxin immediately closed the line, fearing that the other party would call back, he simply pressed the power off button.

After thinking back and forth, when he came back to his senses, the car had already stopped at Sheng Hui's gate.

As soon as Lu Mengxin entered the door, he saw Gao Jinyang at a glance. As if he had grasped at a straw, he stretched his long legs and stood in front of his desk, saying plaintively, "Mr. Gao...save Xiao Fei!"

Gao Jinyang frowned and glanced at the person in front of him.

Lu Mengxin's face was a little tired, it looked like he hadn't washed, there were two thick dark circles under his eyes, his hair was messy, and the clothes on his body were loose and wrinkled.

He usually puts the most emphasis on dressing up, seeing the other person's appearance now, he can't help but feel a sense of disgust in his heart, and said in a bad mood: "Speak well, save who?"

"Xiaofei, that boy with me, Fade Chen." Lu Mengxin bit her lip, and replied, "The two of us went to Tianhao Junlan last night, but he disappeared when we came back... You must help help me……"

Gao Jinyang understood what happened, raised his eyebrows, "It's him?" He smiled softly, "I have an impression of this kid...he was the one who took you away before?"

Lu Mengxin didn't make a sound, but looked at him with a pair of eyes, thoughtful.

"It's weird...why should I save him?" Gao Jinyang didn't hide his disgust, and immediately refused, "He is neither my relatives nor my friends, and I never do things that are thankless. .”

Lu Mengxin guessed that he was unwilling to make a move, but still insisted on the last hope, "Mr. Gao, he is still your employee, a member of Shenghui..."

As soon as the words fell, Gao Jinyang couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Employee? Have you signed the contract? Is it guaranteed? Lu Mengxin... how old are you?"

Lu Mengxin didn't care about his cynicism, her face turned red and white, as if someone had slapped her hard, "President Gao..."

Gao Jinyang couldn't bear to talk to him more, got up and prepared to leave, "It's your business if you wait here, I have something to go out now, do you still want me to invite you?"

Lu Mengxin was stunned for a few seconds, his reaction was half a beat slow, and he walked out of the office following Gao Jinyang's pace.

Gao Jinyang ignored him, turned around and walked to the other end of the corridor, leaving Lu Mengxin standing there alone, wondering what he was thinking.

In the empty hall, Lu Mengxin stood dryly for a while, and at the same time he was hesitating whether to ask An Yuan for help, there was a "ding-" sound from the elevator entrance, the door opened, and a man in a suit and leather shoes came out from inside.

Lu Mengxin was thinking about things in her heart, and had no time to take care of other things, so she only glanced briefly and then looked away.

And when that person saw Lu Mengxin's figure, he had a surprised expression on his face, and then stepped towards him.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Lu Mengxin looked up again, Yan Jiashan's angry face was getting closer...

It's not that friends don't get together, it's just the two of them.

As soon as Yan Jiashan saw Lu Mengxin, he couldn't help thinking of what happened outside the lounge last night, and asked him loudly, "It was you last night, right? Hiding at the door and eavesdropping... I know it even if you don't admit it, it's you!"

Lu Mengxin jumped without seeing the pit, pretending to be puzzled, "What nonsense are you talking about? What eavesdropping, I don't understand what you're talking about." His eyes fell on the expensive piece of clothing wrapped around Yan Jiashan's neck. on the scarf.

It is made of pure handmade wool, and the beige suit suits him very well.

Lu Mengxin sneered, with a sarcasm in his tone, "Why do you dare to come? I'm really not afraid of being bumped into by others. Is it true that you are in the top position?"

As soon as this was mentioned, Yan Jiashan glared fiercely and said: "Lu Mengxin, do you think that little thing of yours can really explode? Don't mention me, Mr. Gao will be the first to know and will not let you go."

Lu Mengxin also smiled, with a chill in his smile, "I'm not afraid of Mr. Gao, but you... without him, who in the entertainment industry would know you?" If you dare to say number two, no one dares to say number one, right?"

Yan Jiashan smiled instead of anger at the moment, he seemed to think of something funny, and said bluntly: "Don't think I don't know what you're planning? Do you want to get rid of me and replace me? Lu Mengxin...don't say I underestimated you , This kind of indecent means has been played too much in the circle. If you think that this trick can make me surrender and let Mr. Gao take a fancy to you, it's really ridiculous!"

Seeing that his words became more and more outrageous, Lu Mengxin's face turned red and his eyes became sharper, and he retorted: "What nonsense are you talking about! You think everyone is like you, and you use all despicable methods..."

"Is it right for you? Lu Mengxin, if you dare to do it, you should admit it and laugh at me for taking the opportunity to take the position. If you can have this ability, you won't just be the life of a paparazzi!" Yan Jiashan said, "Since you want to To get close to Mr. Gao, why not think of some practical ways to please me, maybe one day Mr. Gao will be fascinated..."

Yan Jiashan didn't continue to say the following words, Lu Mengxin saw his face paused, stammering and unable to open his mouth, a strange vigilance flashed in his heart, he turned his head suddenly, and a person stood silently at the corner of the corridor.

Gao Jinyang didn't know when he left and came back again. Half of his body was hidden in the darkness, only the other half of his face was exposed. He stood there silently looking at the two of them, showing neither emotion nor anger.

Lu Mengxin's heart skipped a beat, did he listen to Yan Jiashan's nonsense just now?Looking at his face again, he was already convinced.

Lu Mengxin regretted for a while, and looked at Yan Jiashan with a hint of ferocity in his eyes, wishing to tear his mouth.

When Yan Jiashan saw Gao Jinyang, he wondered how much he had heard the nonsense of the two before, but now he changed his face and said nicely, "Mr. Gao...why are you here?"

Gao Jinyang paced forward, returned to the door of the office, first glanced at Yan Jiashan, then his eyes fell on Lu Mengxin, "Come in."

The two people outside the door were startled and looked at each other, and in the end it was Lu Mengxin who went in first.

Once inside, Lu Mengxin closed the door gently.

Gao Jinyang sat in his seat, still looking arrogant.

The heating in the office was fully turned on, and Lu Mengxin noticed that Gao Jinyang was holding a tie in his hand, and the top buttons of his shirt were unbuttoned, and he could vaguely see the well-proportioned chest muscles inside.

He couldn't help guessing that for a person like Gao Jinyang who is busy with socializing every day, the muscles gained by exercising must have little strength.

Seeing him staring at him, Gao Jinyang smiled with the corners of his mouth pursed, as if his guess had been confirmed, and asked him, "Why did you come to me just now?"

Gao Jinyang may not have really forgotten, Lu Mengxin also knew that he was deliberately embarrassing himself, and now he just told the matter from the beginning to the end, and his attitude was much better than before, "Look... this is busy for you. a piece of cake……"

Gao Jinyang looked at him thoughtfully, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

As soon as Lu Mengxin met his fastidious gaze, she felt hairy and wanted to back away.

During the period, Zheng Wenting knocked on the door and came in to explain the matter. When passing by Lu Mengxin, her eyes stayed for two seconds.

Gao Jinyang responded, gave a few orders, and sent the person away again.

The door was closed again, and neither of them spoke.

Lu Mengxin's scalp was numb, and he was thinking about finding an excuse, when he suddenly heard the person in front say: "It's easy to handle, let's have dinner together after work."
