The capital city by the sea was built not too long ago, and the landmarks are also very new.The four-story square building opposite the silver hall is the main office of the government, and the flat land between the two buildings is the venue for important celebrations before the general election.

The next morning was the celebration. The area was brightly lit the night before, and hundreds of workers moved back and forth in an orderly manner, which is a rare and lively scene nowadays.

In the square building, a small conference room.

The one with deep wrinkles on his forehead and walking in with a cane is the former Prime Minister. He has just been discharged from the hospital. Tomorrow's celebration will still center on him—in form.

Beside the prime minister, who was wearing a typical Mediterranean comb, was the acting minister. When he entered the door, he pretended to help the former prime minister, but was dismissed by the other party without a trace.

The acting minister didn't care, and naturally sat down on the left side.The former prime minister looked at the long table gloomily, but did not sit down immediately.

The acting minister persuaded: "Your legs and feet are inconvenient, you should sit down quickly."

The knuckles of the former prime minister's hand holding the cane turned bluish white due to the force, and his complexion was not much better, and finally pulled away the first chair on the right side angrily.

The acting minister hid the look of color in his eyes, and later, his eyes vaguely looked towards the empty center.

The door opened again, this time it was a little noisy, a few young important officials came in, some pretended to be calm but couldn't hide their nervousness, some were quite generous and swaggered, and the overly tense jawline was still Sell ​​your emotions easily.

These people were very humble and respectful, but when they saw the former prime minister sitting on the right side, their surprise was hard to stop.

But that was only for a moment, and then everyone took the last seat one after another, stopped talking and had their own thoughts.

Only half of the space in the small meeting room is left.

After another 5 minutes, several heads of government who could be called humerus arrived alone one after another.These few were very reticent and reserved, and only nodded to the familiar ministers to say hello, and they were not surprised to see that the chief seat was vacant.And among the young people in the last seat, there were a few who were not calm enough, and they were a little excited when they saw their acquaintances, but their excitement was not responded to.

In the end there were two or three spots left vacant, and no one knew the full list.

The former prime minister kept his eyes closed, rubbing the smooth tip of his stick with his palm, as if the commotion around him had nothing to do with him.

As for the old fritters next to him, someone finally couldn't bear it and glanced at their watches.

"Hmph." A senior elder knocked on the table, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet. He looked impatient, but asked the acting minister next to him who had been drinking tea contentedly, "Who are you waiting for?"

All of you here have received notifications from the highest level, and although the former prime minister is here today, he has not asked about political affairs for a long time, and the acting minister should know best.

The acting minister said leisurely: "Why do you need to worry, you will know when you see it."

Following his voice, the door was opened again, but it was not a single person who came in, but a group of people.

Twenty or so well-armed and sturdy men lined up in two rows and lined up on both sides of the conference table, crowding the space to the brim.

The acting minister's expression changed slightly all the time, the elder beside him stood up suddenly, subconsciously wanted to touch the gun on his waist, and shouted: "Who are you and what do you want to do!"

But this came to nothing.Only then did the elder realize that before entering the conference room, everyone had handed over any extra things.

Someone next to him pulled him indiscriminately, and he turned gray and sat down slowly.

No one had seen this scene before, and the young people in the last seat were too scared to vent their anger. Only the former prime minister seemed to have not heard the movement, still closed his eyes, and just silently recited a sentence of Buddha.

These twenty or so people are not so much bodyguards as they are troops.After they stood still, an unexpected person walked in slowly from the door.

"It's you!" The young official who was closest to him blurted out, with resentment on his face, which then turned into panic—a guy pushed his forehead.

So no one dared to speak again.

The person who came in was fat and thick, with a simple and honest appearance that made people feel amiable at first sight, with his gentle smile that bombarded the screen in recent days, and nodded cordially towards everyone.

He waved his hand at the one who used force, and the other party immediately withdrew his hand.

"Don't scare the young people, these are the pillars of the government in the future." The visitor walked across the vacated road in disapproval, and patted the unlucky guy whose forehead was pointed and whose eyes were still straightening, to comfort him. Said, "Don't be nervous, he is too sensitive."

The unlucky guy just felt a chill all over his body, and he peed in his pants.

The former Prime Minister finally opened his eyes. He looked at the approaching person step by step, but his expression remained unchanged.Facing him was the acting minister who had always been scheming. The old fox looked at the quasi-new prime minister who was chosen as he had imagined, but the appearance was too unexpected, and the veins on both sides of his neck twitched unconsciously.

It's not the same as the controllable, rootless puppet he imagined... It doesn't seem to be the same.

Thinking of his swearing promise to his superiors, the acting minister's complexion slowly darkened like that of a veteran who had been suppressed from the beginning.

Seeing these powerful, invincible, and high-ranking government officials being bluffed by a countryman like himself, the smile on Hu Mingshui's face became more simple and honest. He smiled and walked around the straight-backed veterans, The palms touched the backs of the chairs inadvertently until they touched the back collar of the former prime minister.

Everyone was speechless, resentment, humiliation, fear, self-preservation... all kinds of emotions were written on their faces in a numb look.And Hu Mingshui didn't care, he admired it calmly, and then walked to the front in a low-key way, but to everyone's surprise, he didn't sit on the main seat, but stood behind the main seat.

Then he clasped his hands, lowered his eyebrows, and respectfully - stood aside.

This scene is the most surprising.

The acting minister couldn't pretend any longer, his brows were deeply squeezed into a Sichuan character, and the former prime minister's expression became ugly-this was beyond his imagination, shameless.

"Is this your plan?" the former prime minister said hoarsely.

He kept silent, so that he was almost forgotten by people. When he spoke, it seemed that he had just remembered that there was such a person, and they all looked over helplessly as if they had found a backbone.

It's just that the people who are pinned on are not as tough as they expected. After the former Prime Minister asked this sentence, although no one hit him on the back of the head, he looked at the vacant chief seat, and his face was still fading. Gray down.

Hu Mingshui seemed to have considered the former prime minister's question and was about to answer it. However, before he could speak, the former prime minister had already shook his head and mouthed:

"Let's go with you..."

No one can control it anymore.Although I don't know how he got to this point step by step, but when financial resources, force, and public opinion are all in the hands of capital, no matter how much he wants to change, he will just slowly become a part of the chessboard.

Hu Mingshui smiled and sighed sensiblely: "Thank you for your support. With everyone's joint efforts, I believe it will definitely give the people a bright future!"

With a wave of his hand, the people around him immediately handed him a thick folder. Hu Mingshui unfolded the folder graciously, and handed out the printed documents one by one.He didn't put the document on the table, but held it in both hands, insisting that the other party take it with his own hands.The elder closest to him froze for a moment, Hu Mingshui raised his eyebrows, the acting minister frowned, and stretched out his hand to take it from the side.

Only then did he smile, and then walked all the way, no one dared not to answer.

Hu Mingshui returned to the first seat after distributing the documents, but still stood on the side, pressing the palms of both hands on the table, and started his passionate speech as always in the serious conference hall of the Sifang Building.

"...this document is the beginning of our bright future." Hu Mingshui concluded after his excitement.

The room was silent.

He looked at the few people who were silent, but their expressions were obviously wrong, and he smiled and glanced at the camera hanging from the top.

Hu Mingshui finally said: "Everyone knows, why don't I sit here?"

This is probably the question everyone wants to know the most, but still no one dares to raise their heads aboveboard, for fear of meeting this person's gaze.

"Because, this position is for our dear master." Hu Mingshui scanned his quiet and obedient "new cabinet" with satisfaction. There are obedient and disobedient here, but they will all become obedient in the end.

The word "Master" left everyone in the dark, except maybe... except the ex-Prime Minister.He closed his eyes tightly again, as if in this way he could refuse everything that was about to happen.

Hu Mingshui looked at the people who were confused, confused, puzzled, and hiding their anger, and suddenly raised the corners of his mouth to comfort him, and scratched his head honestly: "Ah, don't you understand this? That's because I'm used to you when I speak. I don’t understand yet. Is our master? Naturally, it’s the people. Everyone should have heard my speech? Didn’t I always say that it is my lifelong pursuit to let ordinary people have water to eat and live a good life? .”

He looked at the "vital officials" who were still looking at each other in dismay, full of question marks but kept silent. They seemed to be very satisfied with the results of today's meeting.

After the meeting was over, everyone left the meeting room with soft legs under the cold gaze of the guards. Hu Mingshui turned off all the lights and stood by the window to look outside.

In the dark night, lights are lit in the middle of the road, and the graceful chrysanthemums all over the ground reflect different colors of light, which is very spectacular from a distance.

The screen of a laptop placed in the dark flashed snowflakes, and then suddenly lit up. Hu Mingshui was still looking at the chrysanthemum complacently. Bow your head and obey your ears.

"Master... the process of today's meeting... have you read it? How is it?"

The person on the other end of the video has a very ordinary appearance and a very ordinary figure. He is not ugly. If you look closely, he can be called Zhou Zheng, but he is very passer-by. He has the kind of appearance that you can't find when you throw it in the crowd.Even Hu Mingshui's unflattering appearance has a little more intimacy than this person.

But today, Hu Mingshui, who is showing off his prestige in front of a group of government officials, dare not lift his head in front of the electronic imaging of this ordinary person. Listen carefully, his voice is also different from usual, and he seems cautious. , timid, and somewhat expectant.

The man seemed to be concentrating on other things. Hu Mingshui stood upright for a long time, not daring to move his toes until the soles of his feet were numb, and then he waited for the "master" to lift his eyelids to him.

There was no appreciation, and after a few seconds, he said lightly: "It's not like acting too much."

Hu Mingshui hurriedly said: "I will pay attention." He collected himself, looked at it for so long, his heart moved, guessed that the master seemed to be in a good mood tonight, and immediately caught the right time to flatter:

"The villain is not acting. The villain is loyal to his master. You can use the villain..."

"The reason why the villain can win people's hearts is because what he said is the truth. It's just that the bright future in the villain's words is created for the master, as long as the master..."

"I'm talking about Hu Laosan." The opposite party finally took a direct look at him, cut off his words, and smiled half a smile, "You've lied too much, and you believe it? You have brains and performance, and what you promise will naturally be given to you." , but if you play off..."

The voice of the "passer-by" became very soft, and the hairs on the bones could be heard.He said the last few words while looking at Hu Mingshui's face, but his voice was so soft that only the shape of his mouth remained. The muscles on Hu Mingshui's face bounced nervously, and his complexion became even worse than that of the young man whose head was pinned by his men before.

"Yes, don't worry." He didn't dare to say any more until the signal was cut off.The cold sweat on the back has soaked through the clothes.

Hu Mingshui supported the window frame as if he was exhausted, turned around and stared at the golden ones that were arranged all over the floor again.

"No way." He knocked heavily on the window frame, and his face once again showed high fighting spirit, "It's hard to get to this point, how could it be possible to play it off? I know it's scary...hehe."

Thinking about the power, money, and power he was about to get, Hu Mingshui finally drove out the terror and deterrence brought by Feng Shao, and walked out of the conference room proudly.

Hospital, outside the gate.

It was crowded with reporters holding their cameras and microphones, and various remote-controlled interview equipment were flying in the air. Normal medical patients were already squeezed out of the third ring road.

And these reporters are still rushing in.

"Mr. Chi Ji! Excuse me, Mr. Chi Ji is hospitalized here, right?"

"Please introduce Mr. Chi Ji's condition! Will Mr. Chi Ji quit the entertainment circle due to illness?"

"Is the sudden announcement that the press conference will be held related to illness? It can be evenly compared with the general election to grab attention. Chi Ji's commercial value is so high, will the company agree to his termination?"

The hospital security guards rushed out in full armor as if they were facing an enemy, but were pushed back by the group of excited reporters.

"Why are there so many people?" Chi Ji lay on the edge of the window and looked down, full of wonder.Originally, I thought that just claiming to develop a press conference would not attract much attention, and I wanted to spend money on a few waves of marketing, but just after I released some news, the media rushed to it like crazy.

Liu Wangchun, who was beheaded first and played later, was out of his wits when he heard the news, and the paparazzi rushed to guard the bedside one step at a time, only to learn that Chi Ji had recovered from his illness early to avoid laziness, and almost pulled his ears.

But Bo Yan was watching from the side, and Lao Liu felt a little apprehensive for some reason. When he met him today, he felt that this guy was a little different from before, but he couldn't tell what was different.So Lao Liu stretched out his hand halfway and took it back, saying embarrassingly: "Of course there are too many people. In the past few months, the limelight has been robbed by the general election. The paparazzi are about to lose their jobs without food. It's good for you, send them away first." If someone has a bowl of braised pork, it would be strange not to pounce on you and lick you up."

Liu Wangchun's metaphor is very vivid, Chi Ji thought about it and said it made sense.

"Fortunately." Chi Ji took a look at Bo Yan who was obediently sitting beside him, and said naturally, "I originally thought that if I couldn't attract attention, I would put some gossip to attract attention, but now I don't need it. "

In fact, it is Lin Junye's intention to release scandals. He seems to think that only by making the public think that Chi Ji and Bo Yan are going to come out can they attract the greatest attention. For this reason, he secretly begged Bo Yan for 3 minutes without telling Chi Ji. .

Hearing Chi Ji mention it at this time, a faint red appeared on Bo Yan's face, Chi Ji blinked and rubbed his eyes, convinced that he read correctly.

"Old Liu—" he shouted, wanting him to confirm, then stopped immediately, then remembered something, and said seriously, "You should go back quickly, I don't need you here. Don't you still have many Is something wrong? I heard that the company has recently recruited a lot of new people, and some of them were handed over to you."

Liu Wangchun stared at Chi Ji, feeling old blood in his heart.When someone's artist manager goes to bring others, the artist is always reluctant to leave, why does Chi Ji seem to wish that he would quickly go to work for others?

Lao Liu is unhappy, Lao Liu is wronged.

"You boy, I'm your manager. It's wrong that I don't have time to see you in the hospital every day. How irresponsible is it to leave you alone in this kind of turmoil?" Old Liu was so angry that he wanted to light a cigarette. But in the hospital again, I could only touch the cigarette case, "Also, you held a press conference and wanted to withdraw from the circle, but I won't stop you. But do you really want to withdraw from the circle? Didn't you receive some kind of coercion?"

After all, the two have cooperated for a long time, even if they are not close friends, they are very familiar with each other.Chi Ji has never expressed his intention to retire before, and this strange disease has healed itself, how could it be so sudden...

Chi Ji sat at the head of the bed, with his calf resting on the bed frame, turned his head and looked up at Liu Wangchun who was worried, smiled for a while, and said slowly: "Isn't it just this illness, a life-and-death juncture..."

"No matter how much money you earn, it's meaningless to waste your life. The time in the future is precious, and I want to use it freely..."

Old Liu stared at him. It was reasonable for a person to figure it out after a serious illness, but he always felt that it was not that simple.

Chi Ji stretched his waist, looked out of the window lightly, turned his back to Old Liu and said, "I feel like I don't want to see you now, and I feel that so many years have wasted a lot of time when I see you. Lao Liu, I regard you as a friend, you can go, you don't need to worry about this matter, I can solve it myself."

"Isn't it just a press conference?" He said lightly.

Old Liu smiled angrily: "Okay, okay." Little White-eyed Wolf, "figured it out", it just depends on him getting bored, can people become so fast?He was awakened by the news in the middle of the night and drove here from the next city not to worry about him, but to bother him.

"I won't bother you anymore. When our contract is officially over, I won't have dinner with you if you want to see me."

Old Liu pushed the door angrily and went out. Chi Ji pursed his lips, slumped his shoulders for a long time, and let out a long sigh.

"I just don't want to let him know why I have a press conference." Chi Ji said seriously.

Bo Yan said: "I know."

"Let him know, he will become an insider, and he may also be in danger. Lao Liu is very good to me, and I can't harm him."

"I know."

"But I don't want to lie to him all the time." Chi Ji blew on a scrap of paper on the window lattice, watched it fly up, and watched the increasingly lively scene downstairs.

"You're not very good at lying." Bo Yan said.

"Yes, you have learned it all, but I still can't." Chi Ji thought about it and laughed.

Bo Yan stood up, took a few steps by the window, looked at the somewhat lonely Chi Ji, and told him: "He didn't leave."

Chi Ji froze for a moment, realizing who he was talking about: "Old Liu?"

"Downstairs. I just went down to the first floor. I saw many people looking for you, so I didn't leave." Bo Yan paused. "He sat down in the waiting room on the first floor. He didn't leave, and he didn't come up."

Chi Ji sniffed, feeling like he had a cold, why is his nose stuffy.

"He's so kind." Chi Ji murmured, "Bo Yan, do you think of a way to make him walk? By the way, don't let the paparazzi find him."

Bo Yan patted his head.

Chi Ji pondered: "Do you think I shouldn't lie to him that you haven't come to see me? If he knew that I'm not here alone, he wouldn't rush over."

"Chi Ji, because you are very good, others will want to treat you well." Bo Yan seemed to seldom call him by his name directly, those two words were biting between his lips and tongue, like a piece of sober snow.

Chi Ji looked up at him and muttered, "You understand again."

On the first floor, on the square outside the courtyard, the reporter saw that there was no hope of breaking through the pass, and stopped moving forward.It was also eight o'clock, the time for the official opening of the door, and the patient was finally able to see a doctor smoothly.

Reporters still gathered around and refused to leave.The security finally breathed a sigh of relief and planned to come out

They drove them away in one go, but suddenly another group of paparazzi rushed over from outside:

"Mr. Chi Ji! Mr. Chi Ji, is it true that you and Mr. Bo Yan are getting married soon?"

"Mr. Chi Ji, are you really planning to announce your coming out on the day of the celebration?"

"Mr. Chi Ji, may I ask if you suddenly realized that you want to marry Mr. Bo Yan because of a serious illness and a life-and-death moment?"

"Mr. Chi Ji! What do you think of the cp fans of you and Mr. Bo Yan who said they would abstain from voting in the general election, 'I didn't want to vote anyway, so it's just right to save the money for sending the ballots to my cp'?"

The security guard stayed there, but before he realized why another group of people came, the group of paparazzi who had been squatting down and resting in place suddenly stood up:

"What?? Mr. Chi Ji quit the showbiz because he wanted to marry Mr. Bo Yan??"

"Brothers!! Go!!!"

After several months of starvation, paparazzi suddenly saw a huge pot of braised pork with green eyes, and they blew the clarion call for a general attack on the hospital gate.

Security guard: "Ah, uh..."

Security guard (desperately): "I'd better call the police."
