double promise
Chapter 8: Domestication
Huo Mingjun paused when he placed the plate.
However, this small anomaly was quickly covered up, and he replied evasively: "People like us generally don't need any reason to do things."
"There are tens of thousands of unlucky people in the world, and I haven't seen you bring them back for education one by one." Xie Guan took a sip of milk, "Why me?"
It was impossible for him to directly ask Huo Mingjun if he had other plans, it would be too impolite, so he could only carefully probe around the corner.Of course Huo Mingjun knew what he was thinking about, but he didn't even fully understand some things, telling Xie Guan now would only break up the already superficial relationship between the two of them.
"Cuiping Mountain, remember?"
"Ah."
Huo Mingjun pushed the snack in front of him: "Didn't I ask you why when you blocked the plane for me? Have something to eat."
The gentle expression in his eyes was only revealed for a moment, and then he withdrew in an instant, changing into his usual indifferent expression.Xie Guan knew that he had touched the opponent's scales, so he kept quiet.
Huo Mingjun is a businessman, logically speaking, he is only willing to invest in the cost when it is profitable.However, Xie Guan looked at himself and found no surplus value to extract.Huo Mingjun's mouth was as strict as a pearl oyster, so he had no choice but to suppress his doubts for the time being and honestly followed Huo Mingjun to stay in the hotel.
The next morning, the two had breakfast together.Huo Mingjun had no plans in the morning, so he had to stay in the hotel to listen to the work report of City B.Xie Guan had nowhere to go, he planned to do something casually to pass the time, but Huo Mingjun called his life assistant Fang Hui from downstairs and asked her to take Xie Guan out to buy two sets of clothes and daily necessities.
Assistant Fang didn't attend the reception banquet yesterday, and was deeply regretful that he missed a big show. He tried many ways to gossip but failed, and he didn't expect someone to give him a pillow when he fell asleep.She respectfully took the secondary card from Huo Mingjun's hand in the gesture of request, put it away, and turned to Xie Guan with a meaningful and kind smile: "Mr. Xie, let's go."
Xie Guan made her laugh so much that her heart trembled, she subconsciously looked at Huo Mingjun, and blurted out a thoughtless sentence: "Aren't you going together?"
The smile on Fang Hui's face instantly changed to panic.
Let Huo Damowang accompany you to go shopping, boy, do you think our lives are too long?
Huo Mingjun was sitting by the window looking at the tablet, and said without raising his head, "No. Let Fang Hui help you choose, she has good eyesight."
Assistant Fang's legs went limp, and he said with a dry smile, "Uh...Thank you boss for the compliment."
Fang Hui is an assistant in charge of taking care of Huo Mingjun's daily life, so she has a very deep understanding of the boss' temperament.Huo Mingjun's personality is definitely not good, he is indifferent and strict, and his wrist is iron-blooded, especially his cruelty in handling family affairs is often criticized by others.Fang Hui is his fourth life assistant. It is said that the reason for the first three dismissals was "impure motives" and "broken mouth".
Based on Fang Hui's understanding of him, Huo Mingjun's demands on others and himself are almost harsh, so when Fang Hui heard that "the boss picked up a man from the shooting site of a tertiary film", Fang Hui was taken aback. She was completely disillusioned when the sack-like stalls dangled out of the boss's house, and even invited him to go shopping together without any notice.
It turns out that there is a Cinderella living in the heart of the Great Demon King...
Xie Guan was a very easy-going person, and Fang Hui soon discovered that he knew almost nothing about Huo Mingjun, and he simply stumbled into the clutches of the boss by mistake.
Fang Hui was not sure what Huo Mingjun was going to do to Xie Guan, whether it was to support him or to do good deeds every day. She didn't dare to say too much to Xie Guan, so she had no choice but to spend her energy that had nowhere to vent.
Xie Guan was born as an artist and has a superior figure. Putting on suitable clothes is like a complete transformation. Seeing Fang Hui, an older girl, can't help admiring, her heart is more and more firm in her "Cinderella" thesis.
Xie Guan took the shopping bag from the salesperson, Fang Hui was about to get up from the sofa, Xie Guan naturally stretched out his hand for her to help: "Are you tired? I've been walking all morning, find a place to sit down and rest for a while."
Assistant Fang's girl's heart skipped a beat.
She said yes with a smile on her face, but she was like a dead dog in her heart: "Damn, this kind of good man was preempted by the big devil."
Under Xie Guan's insistence, Fang Hui only picked two sets of clothes that were not too expensive, and went to buy him a mobile phone according to Huo Mingjun's instructions.It was not lunch time when we returned to the hotel. Huo Mingjun had just finished processing the documents sent by the company. When he saw the two people enter the door, he raised his eyebrows in surprise: "The action is very fast."
Fang Hui didn't see his stunning expression, and was a little disappointed. She murmured in her heart why this was different from the agreed ending, but Huo Mingjun continued: "That's right, it's much more pleasing to the eye."
Xie Guan felt a little embarrassed and shy, and thanked in a low voice: "It's a waste."
Huo Mingjun said again: "People rely on clothes. Most people in the world are visual animals. Don't worry about what's on the inside, at least don't show timidity on the outside. You just have to be tough..." He glanced at someone who stretched his neck to watch curiously. Swallowing back the old rant that came to his lips, he changed the topic lightly, "It won't fall into my hands to teach me a lesson."
Xie Guan tried his best to flatten the corner of his mouth: "No, you taught me the right lesson."
Fang Hui thought: "I'm so redundant."
In the afternoon, Huo Mingjun went out to meet the representatives of Longfeng Group. Xie Guan bought a phone card and installed various social software on the new phone.It is very troublesome to retrieve WeChat, but fortunately, Weibo can still be logged in. As soon as it is online, private messages are overwhelming, and Wang Ruolun's roar can be felt through the screen.
[What about people?Are you there? 】
[Why did you suddenly terminate the contract with the company?What happened? 】
[Answer the phone! 】
[Damn it, how old are you and you still play Evaporation, don't scare me!call me back! 】
[I'm going to call the police! ! ! 】
[I'm going to the filming location soon, there is no signal in the mountains, if you see the message, please call this number. 】
The most recent news was written at 6 o'clock in the morning the day before yesterday, probably written by Wang Ruolun in a hurry before departure, probably because Xie Guan forced him to leave the contact information of the production team.
He looked at the murderous exclamation marks all over the screen, a star of warmth spread from the tip of his heart, and suddenly felt that he was alive again.
Huo Mingjun, Wang Ruolun, Mr. Nie who was waiting in the car late at night, Director He who gave him many chances... This world is not full of Mr. Wang Zhe and Mr. Zhang. A dead end, but even if he terminates the contract with the company, so what? If there is no filming in City B, it doesn't mean that he will starve to death. As big as China is, the Chinese entertainment industry is as big. Can a mere investor really cover the sky with one hand?
How much he couldn't think about it, he gave up his persistence for nearly ten years for this kind of person.
Xie Guan returned a message to Wang Ruolun: "I'm in Hong Kong Island. I lost my phone and haven't seen your message. I'm fine. Don't worry. I'll be back in a while."
Huo Mingjun had been out socializing all the time, and he didn't return to the hotel until almost ten o'clock.TVB's martial arts drama was playing on TV, Xie Guan heard the sound of opening the door, turned his head to look over, and immediately got up to greet him: "I'm back."
He was still not used to getting along with Huo Mingjun, he seemed a little reserved, but he opened his mouth on his own initiative.How keen Huo Mingjun is, he can see at a glance that he is different from the past, and knows that he is finally thinking about it.He let out a "hmm" and was about to speak when a sharp dry itching suddenly appeared in his throat, his Adam's apple moved slightly, and he broke out into a sharp cough.
"What, are you choking?" Xie Guan saw that he covered his mouth with his hand, he couldn't stop coughing, his cheeks flushed a little, he poured a glass of water and handed it over, "Come and drink some water, are you okay? "
He got closer and smelled the faint smell of smoke on Huo Mingjun's suit, so he got up and went to take a breath. When he came back, he tapped Huo Mingjun's back lightly with the heel of his palm: "Take off your coat. Have you ever had pharyngitis?" , Has Assistant Fang brought his usual medicine?"
Huo Mingjun let him take off his suit, Xie Guan also pulled off his tie, and unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt, so that he could breathe more smoothly.
Normally, anyone who dared to unbutton Huo Mingjun would have to be thrown 200 meters away before touching him.However, at this moment, perhaps Xie Guan's way of taking care of others was unexpectedly skillful and gentle, Huo Mingjun didn't even have time to think about whether he had crossed the line in doing so, and only felt a trace of appropriateness that was completely different from the past.
Unlike his trust in his assistant, he handed himself over to Xie Guan with confidence, not out of interest, but subconsciously knowing that he would be taken care of wholeheartedly by Xie Guan.
Because Xie thinks of his kindness.
From the time he decided to give Xie Guan a hand, this relationship has been quietly established. He never expected to be rewarded, but suddenly realized its existence when he did not expect it, and unknowingly rejected it. At the top of the list is "can be relied upon".
The hot water smoothed the dry throat, and the light bath scent lingered on the tip of the nose.Huo Mingjun finally took a breath from the severe cough, took the tissue from Xie Guan, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's an old problem, it's fine."
Xie Guan frowned: "I've been coughing for almost 10 minutes and I'm still okay? I'll go and ask if there is any medicine."
Huo Mingjun waved his hand to signal that he didn't need it, and cleared his throat: "It's not a disease, it's just that someone smoked at dinner tonight, which irritated the throat, and it will be fine after a while."
Xie Guan sighed: "You better stop talking and drink water."
The sudden rush broke the initial embarrassing atmosphere, and once it calmed down, the awkwardness tended to come back again.At the end of the TV series, Cantonese songs with a bleak mood echoed in the room. Although the two of them were sitting side by side, the living room seemed too empty for no reason.
It was Huo Mingjun who finally broke the deadlock: "I'm going back the day after tomorrow. If there are any places I want to go or things I want to buy, I can ask Fang Hui to go shopping with you tomorrow."
Xie Guan hurriedly said that there is no need to trouble, but Huo Mingjun said: "You have been here on Hong Kong Island for the past few days, and you probably don't have the time to understand it well. Since you have the opportunity, it's good to go for a walk."
A teasing smile flashed across his eyes, "Although the beginning of this journey was not very good, at least I can leave some good memories for the end. In case you think about it later, you just remember how I scolded you at the beginning .”
Xie Guan didn't expect him to turn over the old score, thinking of the person lost that night, he was as embarrassed as a hairy crab that just came out of the pot.
However, he didn't talk back, he held his nose and tolerated Huo Mingjun's behavior of teasing him, which was in stark contrast to his temper that exploded at one point on the first day.
The layer of defense between them seemed to melt.
Of course Huo Mingjun knew why.It's like picking up a disheveled little animal, risking its claws being scratched a few times, washing it clean, smoothing its fur, and then hugging it, the little thing will know its owner.
However, this kind of change didn't only happen to Xie Guan, why didn't he himself loosen and soften?
Isn't the relationship between people one of mutual domestication?
However, this small anomaly was quickly covered up, and he replied evasively: "People like us generally don't need any reason to do things."
"There are tens of thousands of unlucky people in the world, and I haven't seen you bring them back for education one by one." Xie Guan took a sip of milk, "Why me?"
