Chapter 8 New Assistant (1)
Li Xuan was awakened by knocking on the door.
In autumn, the day comes later and later.At this time, the sky was still covered with a layer of light gray.
He has only slept for four or five hours since last night, and he was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes and went to the door.
"Slow down." Sheng Min's wrists were still tied to him, he was pulled up from the bed half asleep, stumbled, and almost hit the door frame.
The knock on the door kept ringing like a reminder, Li Xuan walked to the door with a feeling of getting up, glanced through the cat's eye, and found that it was a middle-aged man he didn't know: "Who is it?"
"Me." The person outside the door answered him impatiently.
"You? Who are you?" Li Xuan's tone was more irritable than his, "Anonymous?"
The person outside the door paused for a second, then raised the volume: "Sheng Min, what's going on with you? You don't answer the phone, open the door quickly."
"Sheng Min..." Li Xuan suddenly realized that this was not his own home.Glancing at the people around him, "Your friend outside?"
"My manager." Sheng Min also woke up, looked at Li Xuan, "Now it's yours."
"Hurry up! What are you doing?" Zhang Zhihua slammed the door hard.
Sheng Min frowned, and stretched out his hand to open it, but Li Xuan stopped him.
"Why are you arguing? Wait!" He yelled back at Zhang Zhihua, pointed at the ropes in their hands, and signaled Sheng Min, "Untie it first."
The rope was tied too tight yesterday, and it was pulled and pulled all night, and now there are several dead knots on it.Zhang Zhihua was probably stunned by his yelling, but he stopped urging him, and the door became quiet for a while.Li Xuan didn't care about it any more, and after he and Sheng Min hadn't opened it for a while, he was about to find a knife, when he heard the door lock rang, and then the door was pushed open.
"Sheng Min, you... who the fuck is this?!"
Sheng Min didn't expect Zhang Zhihua to come in directly, startled, and was about to speak.Li Xuan frowned and shook his head, but turned his back to block his sight, quickly lowered his head, bit off the rope, and lowered his sleeves to block it.Then he turned around, looked Zhang Zhihua up and down for a few seconds without showing any signs of expression, and said, "Since you have the key, why knock on the door?"
"Your house has a broken door and lock, you can't open it after several stabs." Zhang Zhihua threw the key out with a displeased face, almost hitting Li Xuan.Li Xuan turned sideways to avoid it, his face darkened.Sheng Min thought he was going to get angry, but in the next second, Li Xuan just bent down and picked up the key and put it on the table beside him.He took Sheng Min's cell phone.
"Who is this person?" Zhang Zhihua pointed at Sheng Min and asked again.
Li Xuan frowned, Sheng Min was worried that he would give some bad answer, so he said before him, "I'm his new assistant."
"Assistant?" Zhang Zhihua asked in surprise.
Li Xuan didn't speak, just glanced at him quietly, Sheng Min begged to wink with him.Li Xuan coughed and reluctantly agreed, "Well, I'm looking for an assistant."
"Didn't you have Yang Xu and Liu Jia? What kind of assistant are you looking for?" Zhang Zhihua said loudly, "You think that if you become popular, you will be able to play big. Two assistants are not enough? The company didn't plan the expenses for you...."
As soon as he spoke, he didn't stop, Li Xuan just didn't answer, leaning against the table in the restaurant, checking something with his mobile phone.Sheng Min turned his head and saw that it was Zhang Zhihua's information.
"Speak up." Sheng Min urged him in a low voice.Li Xuan ignored it, glanced at the information briefly, and then looked at the chat records.He sees things very fast, almost to the point of seeing ten lines at a glance.After flipping through the phone, I put the phone on the table, and Zhang Zhihua was talking about it, you didn't tell me when you were looking for an assistant.
"Don't you know now?" Li Xuan frowned, Zhang Zhihua didn't seem to hear clearly, and continued to yell.Li Xuan didn't sleep well in the first place, and he had a headache from the noise, so he raised his hand and slapped the table: "What's the trouble?! I've said it twice, but you still can't hear me?"
Zhang Zhihua was stunned for a moment, and looked at him dissatisfied: "Sheng Min, did you take the wrong medicine?"
"What disease do I need to take medicine for?" Li Xuan squinted his eyes, but his voice calmed down, unhurriedly, "Is it serious? Is it contagious? I am still an artist of the company, you are my manager, just give it to me."Splash dirty water? Does the company know?"
He asked a long list of questions in one breath, and Zhang Zhihua scratched his hair: "No... What's wrong with you today? And you, this assistant..." He pointed at Sheng Min, and immediately became confident, "You didn't talk to me.The company said."
"I hire a personal assistant, pay for it myself, and don't take the company's account. What's the point?"
"Personal assistant?" Zhang Zhihua's eyes widened, as if thinking of something, subconsciously stepped forward to look at Sheng Min, and then looked at Li Xuan, "He...don't lie to me, you can't be..."
"Not what?" Li Xuan angrily pulled Sheng Min behind him to block it.
Zhang Zhihua looked a little contemptuous and unwilling to speak out, impatiently: "You know it yourself."
"I count, but you don't." Li Xuan didn't want to talk to him at all, Sheng Min secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and heard Li Xuan say, "What are you doing here so early in the morning?"
"You don't know if you have a job." Zhang Zhihua took a look at Sheng Min and sat down on the sofa nearby.
"Isn't it ten o'clock?" Li Xuan recalled the contents of the chat record, there was an interview today.He raised his wrist and looked at his watch, it was less than seven o'clock.
"Didn't you ask Yang Xu to call me here? You think I want to come? I can't get through to you, what else do I want to ask?" Zhang Zhihua yelled again.
"Turn down your volume!" Li Xuan raised his hand to cover half of his ears, and mouthed to Sheng Min, "You asked him to come?"
Sheng Min pursed her lips.
"I really convinced you." Li Xuan scolded him in a low voice, quickly organized his thoughts, looked at Zhang Zhihua, "I have two things for you. First, to inform you that I have found a new assistant. Second, todayI will not go to the interview."
"Not going? Why not?" Zhang Zhihua stood up abruptly, "No way!"
"Is it okay, no one discussed with you." Sheng Min was also stunned when he heard it, and pulled his clothes, Li Xuan patted his hand away, "Shut up, too."
"You don't go to the TV station, how can I explain?" Zhang Zhihua was very dissatisfied.
"That's your business." His voice was too loud, and Li Xuan's voice was raised when he talked to him, making his mouth dry.Picking up the glass, I went to get half a glass of water, "You are my manager, how to deal with these things, do you want me to teach you? You can talk about it another day or cancel it... This is your responsibility. Do you want me to do it?Thieves eat meat and still have to be beaten, you are only responsible for collecting money and not doing work? If there is such a good thing, I won’t do it myself, do you want me?”
Zhang Zhihua was choked up when he didn't respond to what he said, "You must have a reason, why didn't you go all of a sudden?"
"I'm sick, didn't you say it several times just now? I'm crazy and sick, what should I do?" Li Xuan pulled out his chair seriously and sat down.
"You don't usually have such a big temper, and you can't let go of a word." Zhang Zhihua softened a little, "I changed my clothes, and the driver is downstairs..."
"Are you sure?" Li Xuan cut him off, smiled, and his tone was even a little joking, "It's okay to go, but I don't guarantee that I won't get sick at the scene."
Zhang Zhihua was taken aback for a moment, but was stopped by the question.Sheng Min signed into the company at the age of fifteen, and he was the one who took care of him.From not being popular to being popular, she has always been easy to manage, and she has no temper even if she yells or scolds.If it was yesterday, or even if Sheng Min asked him this question before he entered the door, he wouldn't hesitate...
No, not right.Zhang Zhihua thought, where did he expect Sheng Min to say such things?He couldn't help looking at "Sheng Min" again, he didn't know if it was because of his heart, but he always felt that something was different.For a while, he felt that this wasn't Sheng Min, but if it wasn't him, who could it be?
"Let's see, have you thought it through?" Li Xuan propped his head on one hand, "If I were you, I would go to discuss with the TV station as early as possible, and if you drag on, the result will be the same. Or if you insist on me going today,That……"
He gestured to get up.
"All right, let's just forget about going today." Zhang Zhihua was really a little uncertain about him for a moment, and reluctantly said, "It's so popular that it's hard to keep up... I have to go to shoot commercials in two days."
"Let's talk about it." Li Xuan sat back leisurely, "You can leave if you have nothing else to do. I still need to sleep for a while."
"What about him?" Zhang Zhihua pointed at Sheng Min.
"I don't understand the word private. Why do you care about him? He's right here."
Zhang Zhihua's expression became more and more strange: "Here?"
"Otherwise?" Li Xuan tapped on the table, "What? The company wants to arrange a place for him to live, so it's best to pay him with his salary, so I can save money."
As he spoke, he turned to the side and made a gesture of asking for permission: "Take him away."
"Where should I take the assistant you hired yourself?" Zhang Zhihua was taken aback, and stared at him like a ghost.Li Xuan smiled indifferently, Zhang Zhihua let out a heavy breath, stepped forward to take the key and leave.Just when they met, Li Xuan snatched the key back.
"Throw it away and don't take it. I don't like people coming in casually." He still had that half-smile look, and his tone was very kind."Also." Li Xuan recalled the chat records he just read. Sheng Min's usual work is basically notified a day or two in advance, "Get me a schedule."
"Didn't I just tell you that I'm going to shoot an advertisement on Thursday?"
"I want one month, time, place, and what to do. You have to have it. Why are you staring at me so dissatisfied?" Li Xuan looked at him suspiciously, "You said it too, I'm popular. Why don't you even have a schedule?The watch is not worthy? Then where is my redness? In your mouth?"
"Sheng Min, are you fucking possessed by an evil spirit?!" Zhang Zhihua looked at him, every wrinkle on his face revealing unthinkable.
"No matter which artist, this is a normal request. You think I'm bewitched? Then you have to reflect on yourself." Li Xuan hooked the key in his hand and turned it twice, "Within todayYes, no problem?... What are you looking at me for? Let me ask you."
Zhang Zhihua was so choked by him that he couldn't speak, and pointed at him twice with trembling hands, feeling as if he was in a dream since entering the room today.He glanced at Sheng Min beside him.He slammed the door shut.
