After I was kicked out by the benefactor

Zhong Wentian really didn't value Xuan Honghui. Even though he agreed to help, he didn't do it himself, and he didn't even let Xu Shuming intervene. He just let Xu Shuming keep an eye on the progress and report to him every once in a while.

Xu Shuming was a little confused about Zhong Wentian's behavior this time. If he really didn't value it, why did he let him follow up on the Xuan family and let Xuan Honghui contact him?

Xu Shuming felt that he had suddenly returned to the time when he didn't know Zhong Wentian well before. He had to figure out every word and every expression he said, which was a dangerous signal for him.

While he was resting on the hotel sofa with his forehead rested, Xuan Honghui suddenly called.

Xu Shuming never called Xuan Honghui, but Xuan Honghui obviously wanted to know his phone number, so he could.

The pride of heaven.Xu Shuming thought to himself, for them, other people have no such thing as privacy.

He collected his mind and connected the phone without keeping Xuan Honghui waiting.

"Hello?" Xu Shuming stood up from the sofa and walked to the French window.

Xuan Honghui's voice came from the phone: "Assistant Xu, I'm Xuan Honghui. Sorry to disturb you so late."

"So it's Mr. Xuan," Xu Shuming said in surprise, the sky outside the window was dim, and the outline of his face was clearly reflected on the glass, "I don't know who you are looking for at night?"

Xuan Honghui seemed really embarrassed, he said: "I have something urgent to ask Mr. Zhong, when is he free?"

It turned out that it was an appointment time, no wonder I found him in advance, Xu Shuming looked at the expression on his face on the glass, and said solemnly: "Can you tell me what it is? Mr. Zhong is already resting now. If you can't wait until tomorrow, I will You can tell him now."

"It's a private matter. Since Mr. Zhong has rested, don't bother him. It will be the same tomorrow." Xuan Honghui said.

How could he be sure that Zhong Wentian would spare time for him tomorrow? He probably didn't know that the last time Zhong Wentian agreed to meet him was all for his grandfather's face.

Xu Shuming, as Zhong Wentian's assistant, didn't dare to guarantee such uncertain things, even a little reassurance, lest the other party's hopes would be lost afterwards, and he couldn't speak clearly, and the two ends were not human in the end.

He told the truth: "Mr. Xuan, I will convey your request to Mr. Zhong. If we make an appointment, I will call you again, is that okay?"

No matter how tactful and tactful, although the truth must be told, the tone should not be too strong, lest Xuan Honghui think that he is pretending to be a tiger and hold grudges against him.

"No problem, thank you very much. After meeting Mr. Zhong, please give me a chance to treat you alone."

Heh, to eat alone with this grandson of Xuan's grandson whom Zhong Wentian appraised as young and promising.Xu Shuming couldn't help thinking that if this was in Hong Kong Island, maybe those gossip tabloids would find out the details of his worth.

Not everyone can afford this kind of thing, at least Xu Shuming didn't want to enjoy it, so he quickly declined: "No, I'm just doing my duty, and I can't afford your thanks."

"No, Assistant Xu, it's not because of this. If there is no Mr. Zhong, I would also like to invite you once. This is from my heart. —By the way, I wonder if Assistant Xu can play tennis?"

Xu Shuming hadn't been flattered like this for a long time. He blinked and saw a smile on the same face as himself on the glass. He couldn't help but find it funny. He turned his face away and said while holding the phone:

"Sorry, I don't have time."

He works for others, and his time has long been sold out, so he has no free time.

Xuan Honghui on the other end said, "Don't you have any rest time? When did Mr. Zhong treat his subordinates so harshly? Next time I meet him, I must ask him personally."

this person.Xu Shuming was upset, he said: "What time?" When Xuan Honghui agreed on a time, he refused because he didn't have time that day.

Who would have thought that Xuan Honghui hadn't chased after such a difficult person?He smiled kindly and said: "Whenever you are free, no matter whether it is morning or evening, I will drive over to pick you up. I am a senior member of that tennis club, so I have plenty of time."

Xu Shuming was completely blocked from speaking, Xuan Honghui achieved his goal and hung up the phone readily.Xu Shuming even felt that he could hear Xuan Honghui's smug laughter the moment he hung up the phone.

He is in an emergency now, so is there still time to chase him?

Xu Shuming couldn't understand, but it seemed that no matter how urgent the matter was, Zhong Wentian would never link his private life with his work. Could this be a common problem of people like them?

The next day, after Zhong Wentian woke up, Xu Shuming truthfully conveyed Xuan Honghui's matter.Zhong Wentian was holding a tablet to sign, when he heard his words, he raised his head to look at him, paused for a moment, thought for a while, and said: "It's noon today, I still have time for a light meal."

Xu Shuming nodded, he thought to himself, since Zhong Wentian went about his business, he couldn't see that he had feelings for Xuan Honghui at all.

Xuan Honghui went to the appointment at noon as scheduled. Zhong Wentian and Xuan Honghui talked for 10 minutes, then got up and left with a smile. It seemed that things were going smoothly.

When he was about to leave, he passed by Xu Shuming, slowed down a little, turned his gaze to Xu Shuming's face, smiled at him suddenly, and said in a low voice:

"Don't forget our date."

His voice was very low, and only Xu Shuming heard him move his lips.Even Bai Yue, who was standing next to him, didn't notice anything was wrong. Xu Shuming lowered his eyelashes with an indifferent expression on his face. When he heard this sentence, only his drooping eyelashes trembled slightly, and then he returned to calm.

As soon as Xuan Honghui left, Zhong Wentian called Xu Shuming over.

When Xu Shuming heard Zhong Wentian's words, he immediately raised his head, without looking at the direction Xuan Honghui was leaving, he strode towards Zhong Wentian.

Zhong Wentian had already finished his meal and was wiping his hands with a towel. There was a glass of espresso in front of him. Zhong Wentian said without raising his eyelids:

"sit."

Xu Shuming sat down as he said.

The waiter served him a glass of the same concentrate.

Xu Shuming was holding the coffee and had no intention of drinking it. He had always disliked the concentrated bitter taste.

Zhong Wentian seemed to see his dislike, put down the towel, smiled and said to the waiter: "He doesn't like concentrated, give him a cup of mocha instead."

When the waiter left, Zhong Wencai said to Xu Shuming: "The coffee in this hotel is not as good as yours, but you can still drink it. You can drink whatever you want, don't force it. Speaking of this, I feel like going back to China. How long is left?"

"There is less than a week left, and the actual situation depends on the actual situation." Xu Shuming said, thinking for a while, "How can my craftsmanship be compared with that of professionals?

Zhong Wentian disapproved, and said to him: "Don't you believe my taste?"

In terms of eating, drinking and playing, Zhong Wentian has more than 30 years to fill his level, so he is naturally a veteran player.

Xu Shuming couldn't say no to him, so he could only accept his compliment, and said instead, "Mr. Xuan came just now?"

"Oh, a little thing." Zhong Wentian took a sip of coffee, looked at him and said, "It's okay to tell you, but you should take it to heart and don't tell anyone. This is also the family affair of the Xuan family, and it has not been disclosed to anyone for the time being." The outside world knows that Xuan Honghui's younger brother was originally born in a side room married to his father. Hong Kong Island is a bit more conservative than the mainland, and the side room can also enter the house. It was okay before, but now the law has changed. His father wants Inform the whole of Hong Kong to include his brother in the genealogy."

"Why is there no news from the media at all?" Xu Shuming laughed as soon as he said the words.

That's right, the Xuan family has been located on Hong Kong Island for so many years, why don't they have any media resources?He remembered Xuanjia's involvement in the entertainment industry before, and it's not that he didn't have a rainy day.

"What does Mr. Xuan mean?" Xu Shuming was very curious.

Zhong Wentian put down his coffee cup, looked at him and smiled, and said, "Guess what?"

Xu Shuming met Zhong Wentian's piercing eyes, and felt that he had to express his position on the relationship between Xuan Honghui and himself, lest Zhong Wentian always use these vague words to test himself.

It seems that he is jealous.

It's funny, he and him are nothing more than a superior-subordinate relationship, why should he be dissatisfied with who he communicates with normally?

It's okay to say a few more words, it's normal to smile, even if you really go out to play tennis, why not?

"Mr. Zhong," Xu Shuming slowly straightened up, raised his head and looked straight at Zhong Wentian, and said seriously, "I'm not familiar with Mr. Xuan, I don't think I can guess his mind yet."

Zhong Wentian noticed his tough attitude and was a little surprised, but he still smiled and said: "Don't put on such a face, I'm just joking, you seem to be preoccupied in the morning, what troubles do you have?" ? Tell me?"

"No."

"Really do not have?"

Of course, Xu Shuming shook his head, not wanting to repeat the meaningless conversation.

Zhong Wentian looked at him with a helpless look, spread his hands and said, "Before leaving, Xuan Honghui asked me if you were free, and he wanted to lend you an afternoon."

God, "Did he really ask that?" Xu Shuming's eyes widened and he was shocked.

After a pause, Xu Shuming immediately asked, "Then you?"

Zhong Wentian was also a little unhappy about this, he said: "It's your fault, if you promised me last time, I would have the right to refuse him, but now I'm just your boss, I don't have that much right to interfere with the employees' private life .”

What does it mean to blame him?Xu Shuming frowned. When did Zhong Wentian speak so easily? Does the assistant still have private time?

The boss is busy, and he is not on call 24 hours a day.

When others asked him, he began to be generous.

"So, I'll let you decide for yourself—you can't go anyway." Zhong Wentian looked at him and said quite firmly.

Xu Shuming was not used to him, and said directly: "Mr. Zhong, I have promised Mr. Xuan that if I have time, I will play tennis with him."

Originally, he didn't have time, but now that Zhong Wentian was so generous, Xu Shuming didn't even have the room to refuse.

This time it was Zhong Wentian's turn to frown fiercely. He stared at Xu Shuming and said angrily, "When did it happen?"

"last night."

"Then why didn't you tell me this morning?" Zhong Wentian asked.

Xu Shuming was confident: "I thought I would have no vacation time, so of course I didn't care about it."

Zhong Wentian was choked by him, thought for a while, and felt that Xuan Honghui did it on purpose, he was unprepared, and naturally lost the opportunity.

But he didn't expect Xuan Honghui to openly attack the people around him, and even pointed the finger at Xu Shuming.

Zhong Wentian leaned on the chair, stared at Xu Shuming for a while, and then said: "Okay, you can go, go early and return early."

"Yes." Xu Shuming obeyed, got up and left.

Zhong Wentian looked at Xu Shuming's leaving back, his eyes slowly sank, and he didn't look back until Xu Shuming completely disappeared from his sight.
