007

Yan Jiashan went up to the second floor, and took the elevator exclusive to the upper floors to reach the top floor of the company.

The elevator door opened, and Zheng Wenting, the secretary sitting at the front desk, saw him enter the door, stood up and bent over, and did not forget to show him a friendly smile at the end.

Zhong Sheng, the manager who followed Yan Jiashan into the door, stepped forward first and explained: "There was a traffic jam on the road just now... I'm late, is Mr. Gao in?"

Zheng Wenting answered him in a business-like tone: "Mr. Gao is currently having a meeting with several senior leaders. Please wait in the reception room for a while. I will go in and let you know right away."

Yan Jiashan and Zhong Sheng were arranged to wait in the reception room next door. After a while, the high-level meeting ended early, and Gao Jinyang walked out of the meeting room with a cold face and returned to the office.

When Yan Jiashan heard the movement, he immediately stood up and walked out of the reception room, facing Gao Jinyang's direction, and followed him into the office.

With a "click—" the door was quietly locked by him.

Gao Jinyang still didn't look good when he saw him. Today's meeting reassessed the target tasks for the next quarter, but he didn't expect that all the shareholders except him would put forward different objections to the new improvement policy.

Gao Jinyang felt that he was useless in this position. Although he was the first shareholder, he was unable to exercise the veto power of the first shareholder, and a meeting ended unhappy.

Yan Jiashan sensed his emotions before entering the door, so he didn't say much right now, sitting beside him, brought the brewed tea to him, and said with a flattering smile: "I'm just here, you look so vicious, You are the one who called me here, and you are the one who gave me the face..." He deliberately paused, one hand unknowingly climbed onto Gao Jinyang's shoulder, squeezed it gently, and slowed down his tone He said, "Mr. Gao... what are you thinking?"

Gao Jinyang saw that he acted coquettishly, and he didn't intend to give him face. He responded along the steps: "I know how to be soft." He snorted and asked him: "The bell brought you here early in the morning. What's the matter?"

Yan Jiashan's eyes brightened, and he said with great interest, "Didn't you say that the movie you invested in last time didn't decide on a leading actor?" While speaking, he raised his head and kissed Gao Jinyang's lips lightly: "Mr. Gao, what do you think of me?"

Gao Jinyang had forgotten all about this matter long ago. At that time, the director of the film approached him and gave him several references for the choice of the leading actor. Yan Jiashan was not among them, so he did not mention this matter. The matter is connected with Yan Jiashan.

Gao Jinyang was a little surprised that he would take the initiative to speak at that moment.

"No." He immediately rebuffed without the slightest hesitation, "This role is not suitable for you, and the subject matter of this movie is special, your acting skills... are far from that level, don't bother."

When Yan Jiashan heard this, his expression immediately turned down, and while pushing his shoulders, he muttered in a low voice, with an ambiguous attitude: "Mr. Gao..."

Gao Jinyang has always said that one is one and the other is two, and he doesn't like to change his mind, "You should understand if you say it won't work, and I will recommend it to you next time if there is a good character."

Now that the words have come to this point, it can be seen that the matter is a certainty, so Yan Jiashan can only keep silent and say no more.

The two were quiet for a while, Yan Jiashan seemed to remember something, and suddenly said, "By the way... I met someone downstairs just now, guess who it is?"

Gao Jinyang shifted his gaze from the stack of documents in front of the desk to Yan Jiashan's face, and said in a flat tone, "What's the good thing?"

"It's the one who troubled me on Phoenix Mountain last time..." Yan Jiashan thought for a moment, and then affirmed: "Yes... Lu Mengxin!"

Gao Jinyang raised his eyebrows and asked with interest, "Oh, why do you care about him, a small character who runs around on gossip all day long, but I didn't expect to catch your eyes."

Yan Jiashan made an exaggerated look of disgust, "How could I care about him! I was thinking of what happened last time..."

Gao Jinyang didn't make a sound, turned his head to look at the document in his hand, and said nothing.

Yan Jiashan didn't understand what his attitude was, so he had to ask cautiously: "President Gao... I'm worried, will he photograph something... that is not good for me?"

Gao Jinyang joked that he was too sensitive, "This is a quirk that only you big stars can get. It's just a paparazzi. He can't make any trouble."

"But, what if he takes pictures of me with you..." Thinking of this possibility, Yan Jiashan hasn't been able to sleep well these days, for fear that he will be the headline of entertainment gossip when he wakes up.

Gao Jinyang didn't make a sound, he said angrily, "No, find a chance...I want to take back what he has in his hand!"

"You..." Gao Jinyang raised the corners of his lips to reveal a smile, reached out and patted his cheek twice, "I still like to make my own decisions, and I should really make you suffer when I have the opportunity."

Shenghui Media's action was very fast, and within two days, Lu Mengxin received the "reward" from the financial remittance there.

He saw that the balance on the account suddenly increased by a few digits, and he couldn't help but secretly rejoice. He didn't expect to find such a good place to go after leaving the studio. The old saying is true, it is a blessing or a curse, and there is no escape from the disaster.

Thinking of this, Lu Mengxin walked out of the bank gate and called Fade Chen immediately.

When the phone was connected, Lu Mengxin asked him when he would be free in order to express his gratitude. The two of them went out to have a meal together, and he treated them.

Fade Chen said that he is out of town for the past two days, and he will go back to Jiangcheng on the weekend, and he will make an appointment at that time.

Lu Mengxin thought he was being polite, and said: "Thanks to your help this time, don't meet me... It's settled, this Saturday, Qinghe Tavern, that's it!"

After speaking, without giving the person on the other end of the microphone a chance to refuse, he immediately hung up the phone.

On the weekend, there was a light snowfall in Jiangcheng City, Lu Mengxin finished his day's work early and drove towards Qinghe Tavern.

Qinghe Tavern is located in a well-known creative park in the urban area of ​​Jiangcheng City. The tavern is decorated in a Japanese style. The store is not big, and the inside and outside are only a few dozen square meters, but the business seems to be very good.

Lu Mengxin used to come here often when he had nothing to do, either with a group of people, or just sitting in the seat drinking alone, coming and going, several waiters in the store are familiar with him.

It was still early when Lu Mengxin arrived at the tavern, the waiters saw him coming in, greeted him one after another, and asked him, "Are you alone today?"

Lu Mengxin smiled and took off her scarf and hat, shaking Xuezi on her shoulders, "I brought a friend with me today, please make room for me."

It was rare to see him ask someone to come, the waiters smiled and led him to the door of a box on the second floor, and said with a smile, "Come, please."

After Lu Mengxin sat down, he ordered a set of Smoky Wagyu beef and oyster scallops, a plate of Japanese-style teriyaki rice, a bowl of udon noodles, two servings of sake, and a whole plate of fresh and smooth salmon sashimi.

The things were presented quickly, and not long after, Fade Chen, who was late, also appeared in a hurry.

"You're here. You thought you were going to miss my appointment today." Lu Mengxin got up and welcomed him in. Seeing his dusty appearance, he asked again: "You just came back from a mission? Why are you wearing clothes? Too late to change?"

Fade Chen pushed it before because he felt embarrassed and wanted to be polite to him, but after running non-stop for two days, he really felt hungry at the moment, picked up his rice bowl and took a bite of the rice, and said after he recovered his breath. : "Oh, don't mention it, it's exhausting me!"

Lu Mengxin didn't care to ask, "It's just right when you're tired, come... eat more, if you don't have enough, order more."

Fade wolfed down a whole bowl of teriyaki rice, and also ate up the udon noodles that Lu Mengxin should have eaten. A plate of salmon was bottomed out, and he finally felt full, so he fell back on his seat He rubbed his round belly and smiled contentedly.

Lu Mengxin didn't expect him to be so hungry, and teased him, "It seems that after I leave, your task in the studio will become more and more difficult." He raised his glass with a smile, "Come on, I respect you."

Chen Fei felt that he had eaten enough, but he was too embarrassed to touch Lu Mengxin's face, so he had to raise his wine glass, and the two finished their work symbolically.

After drinking for three rounds, Lu Mengxin gradually talked more.

The two talked about their plans for the future, and he squinted his eyes as if drunk, "You said... how can you be successful in Jiangcheng! I... have no other ideas, let me earn money." A lot of money, buy a bigger house, and change my little Changan to a big Mercedes later, that's enough!"

Chen Fei blushed and laughed, "Brother Meng, what is your plan? If you want me to say... In the future, I will target you and become the second 'Lu Mengxin', so that everyone can know me, paparazzi No. [-]." One!" He stretched out his thumbs while talking.

When talking about the sour topic of dreams and the future, Lu Mengxin smirked, and Fade Chen was even more naive.

After dinner, Fade Chen took a taxi back, but Lu Mengxin was too drunk to drive, so he could only call for a substitute driver to take him home.

The two waved away, Lu Mengxin stood at the door of Qinghe Tavern and waited for others.

The sky became more and more gloomy, the snow fell more heavily, and there was a vast expanse of whiteness between the sky and the earth. The high-beam lights of the night trains made people unable to keep their eyes open.

Lu Mengxin stood at the corner of the street, drunk, and suddenly felt a little sleepy.

He yawned, stretched himself, and when he raised his head, he realized that the only two street lamps on the street corner were broken, and they were black, like two people's eyes.

As the cold wind blew, Lu Mengxin felt apprehensive, and when she lowered her head, she noticed a car parked beside the road in the distance.

The car was black, with no headlights turned on, quietly dormant in the darkness, blending into the night...
