029

It was getting late when Lu Mengxin came out of the agency company.

The night in Jiangcheng always comes very early. The sun was still setting just a moment ago, and the street lights on both sides of the road were turned on in a blink of an eye. The blurred night and hazy drizzle reflected the city's unique beauty.

Lu Mengxin got in the car and checked the time, it wasn't too late.

He lightly started the car, turned the steering wheel, stepped on the accelerator heavily, and the car turned around and headed towards Shenghui Media.

The interior of the car was damp, and the raindrops slapped on the window glass, drawing a gentle arc by the wiper.

Another day of nothing!

Lu Mengxin sighed secretly, reached out to turn on the air conditioner in the car, the warmth filled the whole car, and the fog on the glass gradually dissipated.

Not long after, Lu Mengxin's car stopped at the entrance of Shenghui Media.

At this point, the people in the company had almost left, so Lu Mengxin took a chance, parked the car and walked straight to the gate.

Before he could climb the steps, he suddenly heard the sound of a car behind him.

He turned his head and saw that a black Audi was parked on the opposite side of the road from the main entrance, and the four circles on the front of the car were shining brightly under the streetlights.

Lu Mengxin paused and stared at the car for a long time.

His actions attracted the attention of the people in the car, and the horn sounded heavily again.

Feeling something was wrong, Lu Mengxin turned around and walked towards the side of the road where the car was parked.

Before approaching, through the front windshield, Lu Mengxin saw the man sitting in the driver's seat.

Gao Jinyang put one hand on the car door, leaned his head and looked in the direction where he was standing, staring at him with a pair of dark eyes.

Lu Mengxin paused and didn't move. At this moment, he didn't know whether to step forward or turn around.

Gao Jinyang looked at him for a few seconds, opened the car door and got out, beckoning to him, "Come here."

Lu Mengxin pretended to be calm, bit his lip and walked forward, and murmured, "President Gao."

Gao Jinyang neither smiled nor angry, looked at him with sharp eyes, and a contemptuous arc curled up at the corner of his mouth.

"Mr. Gao, if you're okay...I'll go back to the company first." Lu Mengxin clenched her fists tightly and made up her mind that today, no matter what, she couldn't push him further.

Gao Jinyang looked at him coldly, and said: "Go back to the company? Absence from work for a day without reason, do you know the consequences?"

Lu Mengxin lowered her head and didn't make a sound. Since she has been exposed, she might as well admit it honestly.

Seeing that he was obedient, Gao Jinyang was not as impatient as before, and told him: "Get in the car... wait until you are hungry, and have a meal with me."

Lu Mengxin stood motionless and looked at him, and insisted: "Mr. Gao... I've eaten." After speaking, he glanced at the Audi car again. Gao Jinyang's dedicated driver and accompanying assistant were not there. It seemed that he was Come prepared.

Lu Mengxin felt nervous, wondering what the hell this person was doing today.

Gao Jinyang raised one eyebrow, and asked him with a smile: "It's just to have a meal with me, I don't want to eat you... What are you afraid of?" At the end, he did not forget to look him up and down.

Having said this, Lu Mengxin retreated again, as if he was really afraid of something.

The two got into the car, and Gao Jinyang lightly stepped on the accelerator and drove away.

The night outside the car window was dark, and the pattering rain wetted the window glass, leaving a water mark on the window lattice.

Lu Mengxin turned his head sideways and looked out the window, his palms were dripping with cold sweat.

The same location, the same night, the experience of that day came into his mind again.

No one in the carriage spoke, the two of them were silent, their breathing was barely audible, Lu Mengxin saw the profile of Gao Jinyang sitting beside him through the glass in the night.

Just like the first time he saw him, Gao Jinyang seemed to be like this forever, with resolute facial features, deep eyes, beautiful face, and an incomparable expression...

Lu Mengxin stared at those eyes, looking again and again.

The car stopped at a traffic light intersection, Gao Jinyang turned to look at him, and the eyes of the two met again on the glass window.

Lu Mengxin met those vigilant eyes, felt her heart skip two beats, suppressed her emotions, and calmly looked away, looking straight ahead.

Gao Jinyang didn't seem to see the gimmick, and said slightly: "I asked Lao Chen to reassign you a post, but you don't seem to be willing?" He thought for a moment, and asked him, "Why?"

Lu Mengxin recalled the conversation with Chen Mingjie before, and right now, of course, he couldn't tell him the twists and turns, so he found a reason and said perfunctorily: "I think it's good to be a paparazzi, I don't want to change positions..."

"Okay, you..." Gao Jinyang pursed his lips and smiled, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, "I don't blush anymore when I lie."

"I do not……"

"Do you want to follow An Yuan's report?" Gao Jinyang asked him straight to the point, as if he didn't shy away from the topic, "Do you know who he is? Just follow him all the time?"

Lu Mengxin was a little dazed by this question, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, and looked at Gao Jinyang, "What do you mean by that?"

The red light turned into a green light, Gao Jinyang changed gears, stepped on his foot, and the car moved forward slowly.

"No one in this circle is clean. If you want to help him self-righteously, you have to see if he will accept your love?" Gao Jinyang squinted at him, and said: "Why don't I have a fight with you?" Let's gamble? How about it?"

Lu Mengxin's reluctance to admit defeat came up again, "What are you betting on?"

Seeing the fish take the bait, Gao Jinyang was immediately happy, "It doesn't matter what the bet is, what is the bet is the most important." He smiled suspiciously, and looked at him: "Lu Mengxin, do you dare?"

"The Last Broker" was in a hurry to shoot, and the shooting started on time at six o'clock in the morning and ended at eleven o'clock in the evening. All the staff on the crew did not have a good rest for several days.

As the male number two, An Yuan was the first to be arranged by Lai Songcheng in today's first scene.

The production crew was making preparations, and An Yuan was also sitting in the dressing room changing her makeup. Not long after, someone knocked on the door of the room.

When the assistant heard the movement, he got up and asked doubtfully, "Who else is here early in the morning?" As he spoke, he stepped forward and opened the door.

The people outside the door asked twice, An Yuan heard the voice and carefully identified it for a moment, and recognized that it was Lu Mengxin.

"Little Lu!" He smiled and stood up, and greeted him through the door, "Why are you here?"

Lu Mengxin got up early and drove to Hengyang, seeing An Yuanyang with a friendly smile on his face, the gloom in his heart was swept away.

Seeing An Yuan, he also returned a smile and said, "It just so happens that I have an interview in Hengyang today, and I wanted to come and see you..."

An Yuan replied: "Coincidentally, this is my first scene this morning. If it is a normal day, I'm afraid I won't be able to see it."

Lu Mengxin laughed twice without embarrassment, stretched out his hand to rub his frozen cheeks, and kept breathing.

"You sit down first, I'll come to you after filming." An Yuan pointed to the makeup artist in the room, meaning that he was still busy in the morning, so he had to wait for a long time.

Lu Mengxin didn't mind, nodded and said: "It's okay, you go ahead, I'll just sit down for a while...Leave right away."

The two greeted each other, and Lu Mengxin found a place to sit down.

The sky outside the window was bright, and the thick fog gradually faded away.

The room was filled with warm light, An Yuan sat at the end of the light source, holding the script in one hand and silently recited the lines, while raising his head, the makeup artist carefully touched up his makeup with a loose powder brush.

Lu Mengxin just sat there and looked at him, gradually falling into deep thought.

No one in the room spoke. The first thing that broke the silence was a knock on the door.

The assistant got up and opened the door, and when he saw someone coming, he greeted him respectfully.

Lu Mengxin noticed something was wrong, stood up in a hurry, and before she had time to avoid it, she collided head-on with the opponent.

Seeing him appearing here, Yan Jiashan hesitated, pointed at him and turned to ask the people beside him, "Why is he here?"

An Yuan put down the script, and said in a low voice, "Xiao Lu is on a mission today, and he happened to come to Hengyang, so take a look at me."

"Cut!" Yan Jiashan snorted coldly, "Running a mission? Could it be just looking for an opportunity to scribble again?"

An Yuan patiently said: "Xiao Lu is not such a person... What happened last time has nothing to do with him."

Yan Jiashan was dissatisfied with An Yuan's attitude, and immediately said angrily: "I said a few words to him, and you still feel wronged for him!"

The assistant and the make-up artist seem to have gotten used to the bickering between the two of them, and in Lu Mengxin's view, all this is really too weird!

In the end, An Yuan shook his head helplessly, with a smile on his lips, he didn't say anything, and looked at him again.

In those eyes, there is a flash of pampering and joy that is hard to detect.

After An Yuan put on his makeup, Yan Jiashan didn't want to stay any longer, and tugged at his sleeves, "Let's go, it's late and it's time for Director Lai to hurry up."

An Yuan thanked the makeup artist, turned around and followed Yan Jiashan's pace.

Lu Mengxin was stunned for a moment, then stopped him as if he remembered something.

Anyuan had already left the door, and when he heard Lu Mengxin's voice, he turned around and walked back in front of him, "I forgot...you haven't left yet." There was a trace of apology on his face, " I'm sorry, Xiaoshan is straightforward, his nature is not bad, so don't take it to heart."

The corners of Lu Mengxin's mouth were dry, he licked his lips, remembering that he hadn't had a drink of water when he got up early, and his thirst was tight, "I, I'm actually looking for you today... I want to say..."

"An Yuan!" The person outside the door shouted loudly, as if signaling him to end the conversation as soon as possible.

An Yuan's face was uncertain, and he asked softly, "What did you say?"

Lu Mengxin was cruel, and said honestly: "Are you free tonight? Have a meal together?"

An Yuan made a clear expression, heaved a sigh of relief, scratched his head and turned back to him: "I'm sorry...the crew has to rush to shoot the night scene tonight, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave... next time, I will invite you next time."

While the two were talking, Yan Jiashan had already approached and patted An Yuan on the shoulder, "What are you talking about, let's go."

An Yuan let out a "hey" and waved to Lu Mengxin again, "I'm leaving first, you should go back earlier."

Lu Mengxin walked out of the set with heavy steps, came to the front of the car, paused, and didn't have time to hide the expression on his face.

The people in the car rolled down the glass window to look at him, Lu Mengxin looked like he had seen a ghost, which made people terrified.

Fade Chen was timid. He watched too many ghostly things when he was a child, and he didn't dare to go out alone at night.

Before dawn, their car was parked on the whole street.

Chen Fei raised his hand and rubbed it again and again, and asked him, "Brother Meng, let's go."

Lu Mengxin recovered and asked Fade Chen, "Where did you put the key I gave you last time?"

During this period of time, he was busy looking for a house, and Fade Chen had full authority to pack and tidy up all the items in the house.

Now he suddenly asked, how did Fade Chen still remember.

"What key? I returned the key to your house." Fade Chen retorted.

Lu Mengxin was annoyed, and explained: "It's the silver-gray key with two blue pendants on it, you forgot? I handed it to you!"

Having said that, Fade Chen finally had some impressions, "Oh" for a long time, before saying: "Brother Meng, I didn't misplace, I will keep the important things for you." He smiled and pointed to the trunk of the car, "You I will lock your passport, passbook, keys, and medical records in the suitcase for you."

Lu Mengxin opened the car door and then opened the trunk. Before Fade Chen could ask him, he hurried to the back and opened the trunk to find it.

Fade Chen got out of the car and followed them together, "Meng, Brother Meng... What's the matter with you, what keys are you looking for so early in the morning?"

Lu Mengxin found the silver-gray key among a pile of medical records, and squeezed it heavily in the palm of his hand, the cold touch made him more sober.

After a long time, he suddenly said in a deep voice: "You don't need to follow today's mission. I have important things to do tonight. You should go back and rest first."
