Substitute subject to his outstanding acting

Lu Zhirui seemed to have some kind of acquiescence from Xing Chi.

Xing Chi began to respond to him, no matter how simple the words were, he could find a way to answer them.Even though he and Xing Chi hadn't seen each other all day, they still talked on and off on WeChat for a whole day.

The next day, another dish cooked by Lu Zhirui was delivered to Xing Chi.

Lu Zhirui gradually began to chat with Xing Chi about his cooking.Even if Xing Chi didn't respond positively, he gradually let Lu Zhirui figure out his hobbies.

Lu Zhirui didn't say anything, but the food delivered to Xingchi these past few days clearly made him feel like he liked it.

It seems that Lu Zhirui has always had this kind of character of doing nothing but talking.

Winter is getting deeper and the weather is getting colder.

As soon as Tian Xingchi got into the car, he saw packaged apples slowly placed on the back seat.

"What day is it today?" Xing Chi picked up one and wanted to take it apart and eat it.

"Hey, the quantity is calculated, don't open it." Yue Ying said, took an unwrapped apple and handed it to Xing Chi. "Are you confused? It's Christmas tomorrow. Don't you have a night scene today? This is the apple I brought to the crew on Christmas Eve."

"Oh……"

Fortunately Chi did not have the habit of celebrating these festivals, these things were always arranged by Yue Ying.This kind of small festival gives some small gifts to the staff of the crew, and it also allows them to take care of Xingchi more in their daily work, and the relationship with Xingchi is also better.

Xing Chi filmed the scene very late that night, and didn't finish work until nearly one o'clock.Yue Ying led a few people to distribute apples to the staff of the crew, and said happy holidays to them while distributing them. For a while, the crew was also filled with a festive atmosphere.

When Zhang Yingying came to get Xingchi's coat, she said, "Brother Xingchi, there is a car waiting for you outside."

"Whose car?" Xing Chi asked while putting on his coat.

"It seems to be Mr. Lu's car." Zhang Yingying said in a low voice. "It looks like I've been waiting for almost two hours."

"so long?"

Xing Chi glanced outside the crew door.But the lights over there were dim, and he couldn't see who was there.

It stands to reason that this should be the time for Lu Zhirui to sleep.

He was filming just now, and he hadn't looked at his phone all this time. When he picked up his phone now, he saw two messages from Lu Zhirui.

The earliest one was at ten o'clock this evening.

【Is work done? Do you want to go eat something? 】

[If you want to go out to eat something, come to the crew Ximen. 】

He didn't reply to Lu Zhirui at all, and Lu Zhirui didn't say that he had been waiting there.

Xing Chi didn't speak.

"Brother Xingchi, what time?" Zhang Yingying asked.

Xing Chi thought for a while, and said, "I'll go to Ximen to have a look."

Lu Zhirui told him to go to Ximen before eleven o'clock, so he probably isn't there anymore.

Thinking of this, he put on his coat, picked up his phone, and walked towards the west gate.

From a distance, he saw Lu Zhirui's car.

Lu Zhirui didn't bring the driver, he was the only one sitting in the cab.When Xing Chi opened the car door, he was turning on the dome light on the car, looking down at the documents in his hand.

The dome light in the car was not bright, and several documents covered the car's dashboard and the co-pilot. Lu Zhirui frowned seriously, and was writing something on one of the documents.

At this time, Xing Chi couldn't say anything even if he refused.

He did know that Lu Zhirui was very busy, and that he didn't have that much time to wait for him.But it was the first time he saw him, what was Lu Zhirui doing when he was waiting for him.

What about the time before that?He looks very leisurely, isn't it like today, on the road, in the car, and before going to sleep to complete what he should be doing in the company.

Seeing Xing Chi come in, Lu Zhirui put away the documents.

"Done?" he asked.

"It's time to call it a day." Xing Chi hesitated for a moment, and got into the co-pilot anyway.

"I ordered a restaurant." Lu Zhirui said. "To get something to eat?"

Xing Chi didn't refuse, watching Lu Zhirui put away the documents and started the car.

"Mr. Lu seems to be very busy." Xing Chi said.

"There are some things that haven't been dealt with." Lu Zhirui reversed the car and drove on the road. "Not too busy."

"Then you still waited for me for a long time." Xing Chi said.

Lu Zhirui seemed to know what he was going to say next.

He didn't give Xing Chi a chance to refuse: "It's not waiting, I just miscalculated the time when you finish work."

After a pause, he continued.

"Working here is no different from working in a company. Don't think too much about it."

Xing Chi didn't speak again.

The car has been driving for a long time.The film and television city is on the outskirts of the city, while Lu Zhiruiding's restaurant is near the Bund.That restaurant turned out to be a Chongqing hot pot restaurant, which opened on a building opposite the Bund, and the floors were not too high.

Lu Zhirui's private room was by the river, and when he opened the door to enter, Xing Chi was shocked by the scene in front of him.

The table was placed by the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the fire had already been turned on at the moment, and the curling heat steamed from the pot on the table.Through the heat of the hot pot, outside the window is the brightly lit Bund.

The Bund is holding festival activities at the moment, full of people, very lively.From a distance, you can see the sparkling Christmas trees and balloons on the street, and you can also see the occasional fireworks on the other side of the river.

"This is……"

"It's a festival over there." Lu Zhirui said. "I happened to pass by when I got off work just now, and it was very lively. I remember that you like to watch such excitement, so I want to show you."

With that said, he walked behind the table, picked up a bouquet of flowers, and a box tied with red and green ribbons, and walked back to Xing Chi.

His expression seemed a little embarrassed, his eyes were downcast, and his long eyelashes cast a shadow on his eyelids.

"Happy holidays," he said.

It was a big bouquet of brightly blooming sunflowers, Xingchi's favorite flower all the time.He planted two pots on his balcony, which seemed to be discovered when Lu Zhirui helped him move that day.

And in that box, it's not like the jewelry watches in the past.Xing Chi opened it, and saw a woolen scarf lying quietly inside, light gray and soft to the touch.

Xing Chi remembered that he had indeed forgotten to wear a scarf in the past few days when the temperature had dropped.

-

Lu Zhirui still doesn't like spicy food, so he ordered a mandarin duck hotpot this day.

This is Xing Chi's first time cooking hot pot with him.The window was steaming hot from the pot, and outside the window, the Christmas Eve on the Bund was lively until late at night.

It was warm inside and outside the window.

After eating hot pot that day, Lu Zhirui drove Xingchi home again by himself.Walking halfway, Xing Chi suddenly asked him: "Is today's hot pot delicious?"

Lu Zhirui thought for a while, then nodded seriously: "It's delicious."

Xing Chi looked at Lu Zhirui, wanting to see if what he said was the truth or a lie.

Lu Zhirui looked at the road intently, paused, and continued, "There are some things that I haven't tried myself."

"Ok?"

"If you can, you don't have to accommodate me like before." Lu Zhirui said. "I'm not as picky as you think."

Xing Chi didn't speak, and quietly lowered his eyes.

-

After Christmas, there are not a few days left in the year.Xing Chi's company prepares for the annual meeting two days before the New Year's Eve every year, and this year is no exception.

The annual meeting is scheduled for NO.30. As the mainstay of the company, Xing Chi will of course come to attend.

The entertainment company's annual meeting is always lively.

This year, Xingchi made a lot of money for the company, and Wang Cunzhou's work focus has gradually shifted to the entertainment company.Their company has recruited many new actors and trainees this year, and has also cultivated several boy and girl groups following the upsurge of the talent show.

These newcomers didn't make much of a splash in the entertainment industry, but they sang and danced at the annual meeting, and it was quite lively.

Xing Chi sat at the front table.

In front of these newcomers and old people in the company, Xing Chi is the one with the biggest coffee position.After the performances, these newcomers came down to toast in twos and threes. Except for Wang Cunzhou, the first one came to offer a toast.

Xing Chi usually has no airs in the company, has a good temper, and the newcomers are laughing and joking, so they are not afraid of him.

This made Xing Chi drink less.

He doesn't drink very well, and he won't finish drinking when people come to toast, but even so, after these juniors and newcomers have a round of toasts, he gradually becomes drunk.

After drinking for three rounds, Wang Cunzhou sat down beside him with a glass.

"President Wang." Xing Chi was about to stand up holding the wine glass.

Wang Cunzhou put his shoulders on him and pushed him back to the seat: "Hey, you're welcome, sit down."

With that said, Wang Cunzhou clinked glasses with Xingchi.

"This year, the company still relies on you a lot, Xing Chi." Wang Cunzhou said.

Xingchi smiled and clinked glasses with Wang Cunzhou.

"Boss Wang flatters me too much," he said.

Wang Cunzhou shook his head.

"Xiao Xing, you have been very lucky these past few years, and you have really brought good luck to our company." He said. "You work hard yourself. Look at it now, relying on yourself, isn't it booming, even better than the previous few years?"

Xing Chi smiled and lowered his eyes.

Having said that, Wang Cunzhou sighed and patted him on the shoulder.

"However, don't blame me for being troublesome." Xing Chi said. "Have a good drink today, I still want to tell you a few heartfelt words."

"Speak, Mr. Wang."

"President Lu... you still have to think about it more." Wang Cunzhou said.

The smile on Xing Chi's face faded.

"Indeed, we don't need Mr. Lu's resources now. However, the entertainment industry is not as simple as you think. It is a good thing to have a backer." Wang Cunzhou said.

Xing Chi did not speak.

"Look, you and Mr. Lu have been in love for so many years, Mr. Lu is not so unfeeling, is he? Later, if Mr. Lu really finds someone else, Xiao Xing, it will be too late for you to regret it at that time It's..."

Xing Chi interrupted Wang Cunzhou.

"Mr. Wang," he said. "You're drunk."

Wang Cunzhou stopped talking.

Xing Chi knew that what Wang Cunzhou said was very realistic, but just because what he said made sense, Xing Chi didn't want to hear it.

Boss, backer, patron.

This seems to be Lu Zhirui's identity in the eyes of others.

But he didn't want to go back to that unequal relationship.
