double promise

Xie Guan hesitated again and again, and replied with a "hmm" that was harder than frozen ice in the dog days.

Huo Mingjun could feel the coldness and hardness on his face through the phone screen, but it was a good thing to have movement.Xie Guan barely took a step from the high ground, and he immediately walked the rest of the distance happily.

"Hey?"

Xie Guan felt that his language nerves might have been frozen, and it took him a little effort to say the address that came to his lips: "Mr. Huo."

Huo Mingjun responded with a smile and said: "The ratings of TV dramas are very popular. I haven't had time to congratulate you. I wish you a smooth career, and you will become more and more popular in the future."

"Thanks to you," Xie Guan's voice on the other end was faint, and his secret expectation came true, but he still couldn't get lively.This persistent depression is very unreasonable, but there is no way to heal quickly, "Mr. Laohuo is thinking about it."

"You played very well," Huo Mingjun said in a low voice, "I know you will succeed, you have always been outstanding, and you will be even better in the future."

Xie Guan was suddenly a little angry.

The two had already broken up on the spot, and the disagreement between them was as deep as the Mariana Trench.The affirmation given by Huo Mingjun is neither professional, nor is it different from the congratulations of friends like Wang Ruolun. In what capacity, what position does he stand, and why should he praise him?Are you a fan?

Xie Guan also couldn't tell how this kind of emotion came from, he was not happy when he was praised, even he himself felt that he was difficult to serve.

Experts on adolescent issues generally call this kind of emotion "rebellion", psychologists call it "rebellious psychology", and emotional bloggers call it "obviously caring but insisting on speaking hard".

The broad masses of the people generally call this "picking the bone in the egg".

Xie Guan asked in a bad tone: "Mr. Huo has so many things to do every day, do you still have time to watch TV dramas?"

His original intention was to ridicule Huo Mingjun without even knowing what he was playing, but Facing the three-screen computer on the desk that was cutting the Weibo page and the player page without doing business, Huo Dong was a little stuck: " Well, this counts as... a combination of work and rest?"

Xie Guan was so scared that he almost dropped his phone: "Did you really watch it?!"

You, a domineering CEO, don’t go to the K-line of the stock market, don’t go to the Harvard open class, what can’t you think about, why are you still watching domestic dramas? !

Huo Mingjun was also very wronged: "The stock market is not open 24 hours a day, and people still have statutory holidays, why can't I watch TV?"

Xie Guan: "Is this the point? The point is that the filming of this drama is not very good, you can actually watch it..."

"I really can't watch it anymore," Huo Mingjun said with a slight smile, "so I only watched your part of the clip."

"Okay," Xie Guansheng thought relentlessly, "I've learned how to find cuts online."

"Okay, as long as you are happy," Xie Guan felt from the bottom of his heart that people he knew, especially a purebred domineering president like Huo Mingjun, saw his obstinate, evil, charming and crazy persona on the screen. It was embarrassing, but it was done, and he couldn't stop it, so he had to let him go, "What can you do with me?"

The relaxed atmosphere just now disappeared with these words, the headlights of the bus in the distance pierced the darkness, the sound of the engine was getting closer, Xie Guan paid the car and got on the bus amidst the noise, and found a Sit down by the window.

The phone remains "on call".

Xie Guan didn't urge him, he seemed to have a vague premonition of what Huo Mingjun was going to say next, and he couldn't be sure, so he responded silently.

"I still owe you a word."

Huo Mingjun spoke gently and solemnly, with indescribable strength and weight in every word, hitting the embankment thousands of miles away from Xie Guan.

"sorry."

"For the situation that day, and the mistakes I made before."

The car drove out of the town and into the countryside, and even the buildings with more than three floors could not be seen.There are mostly dark one-story courtyards along the way, and occasionally there are a few lights, which are quickly left behind by speeding cars, like meteors passing away in the dark night.

The window glass was not sealed, and the bus with few passengers was very cold. Xie Guan stared at the dark night outside the window, shrinking himself deeper into the down jacket as if afraid of the cold.

"If I'm as sensible as I appear to be, I should say 'it's okay, don't worry about it'," his voice was mixed with the sound of the rumbling car, and the signal was strong and weak, and it seemed a little distorted. "But in this matter, you and I know in our hearts that it doesn't mean that we can return to the state where nothing happened by saying 'it doesn't matter'."

"It's not that I don't forgive you. The little friction at that time has long since passed. You don't even need to apologize, because I have benefited from the beginning to the end, and I have nothing to complain about."

"But Mr. Huo, every word you say to me now, I can't help but think, are you talking to me, or are you treating me as someone else?"

He sighed very, very lightly.

"No relationship can survive this kind of suspicion. It's better not to start than to turn your face later, right?"

"Xie Guan," Huo Mingjun called his name, probably because through the phone, the voice sounded a little gentle, just like the whisper that fell on his temple in the dark corridor that day, "Don't be afraid."

Xie Guan is like a cat whose chin has been scratched, all of its vigilance and bewilderment subside in an instant, and the confidence that has been confronting Huo Mingjun suddenly seems to have lost its support, and it is about to fall apart.

I am not afraid.

He wanted to refute Huo Mingjun, but the other party spoke before him.

"I came to you today not to hear you say 'it's okay'," Huo Mingjun said, "On the contrary, I hope you keep this sentence and don't rush to say it."

"It's my fault for making you feel bad." His voice was tainted with a faint smile, which was not obvious, making Xie Guan regain some of his previous feelings in a trance, but not exactly the same, it seemed to be gentler than before, Also more stable.

The first few times when Xie Guan saw Huo Mingjun, he felt panicked, because his external temperament was very strong, so powerful that it was scary.But now in this kind of dominance, a sense of security has gradually developed. He can still feel Huo Mingjun's control over all the people and things around him, but he will no longer think about running away from him.

"I know you can't get over this hurdle psychologically, but it doesn't matter, don't be afraid," Huo Mingjun closed all the windows on the screen casually, "You don't need to do anything. All unsolvable problems, leave it to me to deal with."

At this moment, Xie Guan, as a tough old man, couldn't help but be provoked by these words so that his heart trembled.

He took a deep breath like a toothache, and thought that if this was a girl, let alone forgive him, it would not be a problem for her to propose to Huo Mingjun on the spot.

Huo Mingjun walked to the dark hardwood coffee table in the outer room and sat down. The light yellow ceiling lamp cast a layer of warm light on his side face like the pages of old books. The furniture piled up to form a thick and quiet space, which is suitable for talking about old things: " I have some past stories here, about... that person, are you interested in hearing it?"

He didn't expect Xie Guan to think about it all at once, he only planned to let him understand the inside story step by step.Although the past was an old wound in his heart and he didn't want to mention it, there was nothing shameful about it.

But unexpectedly, Xie Guan refused.

"No."

He is not yet mentally prepared, and he also knows that for Huo Mingjun, telling the story of the past may not be as easy as he has shown.They finally reached the first peaceful consensus, and they always need to allow some time to relax and digest before they can move on to the next foothold.

Huo Mingjun was a little surprised: "Huh?"

Xie Guan honestly gave him the most ready-made reason: "Because my phone is about to run out of battery."

This time Huo Mingjun finally couldn't hold back his laughter and said, "Okay, then ask me when you want to hear it."

The enthusiasm for "Bihai Chaosheng" on the Internet continued until the Chinese New Year, and then all major pages were dominated by the Spring Festival Gala.During this period, Xie Guan hid in his hometown to cultivate himself, tried every means to hide the remote control every day, trying to dissuade his father from watching "Bi Hai Chao Sheng", and made the old man chasing him around the yard three times in anger.

The ice between him and Huo Mingjun had been broken at any rate. The foundation of the two people's previous contacts was there, and it only took a day or two for them to become warm again.

It's just that Xie Guan has always adopted an attitude of avoiding talking about "old things".On New Year's Eve, after wishing each other a happy new year, the two talked on the phone for two hours, from poetry to philosophy of life, but they failed to touch on this topic.The reason for thanking Guan is that Chinese New Year is a festival, so don't mention unhappy things.Huo Mingjun didn't dare to say a serious word to him now, and he could do whatever he liked, and this matter has been delayed until the next year.

On the seventh day of the lunar new year, Xie Guan returned to City B from his hometown, opened Weibo and looked at the real-time trending search, and found that the popularity of "Bihai Chaosheng" was still there, but it was not as high as before because of the Spring Festival.Halfway through the plot, the male protagonist finally started to counterattack. Xie Guanyan's magic cult guardian gained a large number of fans, but this did not change his fate of being cannon fodder.

What this drama brought to him has far exceeded expectations, and he no longer needs to pay attention to how it will develop in the future.Xie Guan quit Weibo, calmed down, opened his mailbox again, and found the first version of the script sent to him by Director Bai among a lot of advertising emails.

The first announcement Lin Yao gave him was on the ninth day of the ninth day, it was an interview on a certain network platform, mainly a simple interview on his popularity these days.Xie Guan squatted in the ravine for more than half a month, still a little out of the situation, the whole person seemed very calm and steady, the reporter praised him for his good mentality after coming down, and he was not surprised.

Lin Yao, who came to listen, was more familiar with Xie Guan, and when he looked at him like that, he knew it was all an act.While snickering in her heart, she was also reserved and modest for Xie Guan: "There are so many outstanding seniors who have set an example, and this achievement is nothing to be proud of. This step is just for him to stand in front of the audience. As for what to do in the future To get into the hearts of the audience, he still has a lot to work hard for."

"Sister Lin is too modest." The reporter was sharp and sharp on the field, but she was a girl like a cookie off the field. "Mr. Xie is handsome and good at acting. If he is not popular, it will be against the law."

After recording the interview, Lin Yao wanted to go back to the company. Xie Guan also planned to go with her because there was another similar program in the afternoon, and the recording location was near the company.

Huang Cheng was driving, Xie Guan was in the co-driver, and Lin Yao was looking at her phone in the back seat.Not long after, a small exclamation suddenly came from behind, Lin Yao said: "Xie Guan, did you know Qinglan in Xinghui before? How is the relationship?"

Xie Guan: "I've seen it before, but I'm not familiar with it. What's the matter?"

Lin Yao looked serious, and handed him the phone to signal him to watch the news: "Just now, a news broke out on the Internet that Qinglan was drunk driving last night, was found by the traffic police and then forcibly broke through. After the police restrained him, they found a gun in the back seat of the sports car. .Qinglan is now in custody."

Drunk driving and illegal possession of guns are both huge scandals that can destroy Qinglan's reputation. Apart from being surprised, Xie Guan's first reaction was to call Director Bai to resign - this movie is so bloody and bloody before it starts shooting. , Then let people live!
