"Sheng Min?" The host didn't see him move for a long time, "Hurry up and blow out the candles, and make a wish. I also hope that everything goes well for you in the future."

His tone seems to have been deliberately practiced, and there is a kind of hypocritical sincerity that floats on the surface, for fear that the audience will not notice it.Well-dressed and with a pleasant smile, Li Xuan felt that his appearance was extremely odious, and he just wanted to leave the table, but he was about to stand up unconsciously, and he endured it again.

Can't go, Li Xuan thought.He tore his face and walked away happily. Once the show starts, after editing, Sheng Min getting angry on the spot will probably become a better gimmick than Sheng Min's childhood.There are still so many fans at the scene, he can't let Sheng Min leave a story just because of the sudden rush...

The host was still urging, the voice was noisy, the background music even started to play the birthday song, and the fans below beat the beat in unison. Emotions are always the best thing to stir up.Everything is ready, just waiting for him to cooperate obediently.

Li Xuan looked around, sneered in his heart, made a quick decision, and stood up.Signal to the sound engineer next to him: "Teacher, please turn off the music first."

When this came out suddenly, everyone around was stunned, but the applause stopped, and the host looked at him questioningly.Li Xuan ignored it and reminded the sound engineer again: "The music is off, thank you."

"Sheng Min?" The host's tone was tentative.The fans below also sensed something was wrong and started whispering among each other.

"Everyone." Li Xuan made a silent gesture, "Let me say a few words first."

After the scene became strangely quiet, Li Xuan looked around and smiled lightly: "I really didn't expect this surprise today. If I knew, I might not have come."

He paused subtly for a moment: "After all, I have already paid the appearance fee, and it is really expensive to prepare the video and cake for me. I am not a greedy person, and I am afraid that it will be broadcast when the ratings are too low. The program team feels that the gain is not worth the loss., I won’t invite me next time. However, please, I’m afraid I’ll have to think more about it, I’m too timid, and often surprises become frightened... Oh, I didn’t say it’s today, host, don’t think too much.”

The fans below let out a good-natured laugh.

"In this video, you want me to remember bitterness and sweetness, right?" He showed a little puzzled expression, "My mother and the program team are really well-intentioned."

The host smiled awkwardly, "No matter where, it's all Auntie's blessing..."

"I appreciate the kindness, but I'm afraid it's a bit difficult." Li Xuan ignored him and shrugged, "If I want to hear something, I won't say it, thank you for the hardships that have trained me. When I came, I saw the oppositeThere is a Xinhua Bookstore on the second floor of the shopping mall, buy Chicken Soup for the Soul, any page is ten times better than what I can say."

He pushed away his chair and walked casually on the stage: "I am not grateful for the so-called hardships, because I really didn't feel that I was suffering before, or how difficult it was. It was just a process that had to be experienced and had already been experienced.It’s like if you don’t have enough to eat, what you think about right now is how to fill your stomach, not the deeper question of why you don’t have enough to eat....However, it was really not difficult to go hungry before.But now that I am an artist, in order to look good on camera, I often control my diet."

There was still laughter, but to a lesser extent this time.

"Similarly, I don't feel like a nouveau riche now. I admit that there may be a little bit of luck today, but maybe it's more than just luck?" Li Xuan glanced back, "What does the host think?"

The host was called on suddenly, and hurriedly said: "Of course, of course, Sheng Min is also very serious about his work, and we all know this..."

"It's what you said, so it's not my boasting." Li Xuan smiled, without giving him a chance to finish, he walked back to the two-story cake, raised his hand and put out the candle.As the candlelight passed by, there was a faint pain for a moment, and the smile on his face remained unchanged, "I won't grant my wish. I don't know who to ask for it. I still believe that things are made by people."

He looked at the fans in the stands, today's Sheng Min is really different, everyone's faces are more or less strange and surprised.But Li Xuan couldn't care less.

He can't and doesn't want to let "Sheng Min" fall into the mercy of others, he doesn't care what happens to the real Sheng Min, since he is here, he can't.

The fans kept shaking their hands, and the corners of the eyes of many girls who had cried were still red.Li Xuan never chased stars, so it was difficult to empathize with him. He had already said almost the same thing, and the host’s face was almost unbearable, but when it came to Sheng Min, after thinking about it, he added a few more sentences: "Thank you for your love.And support, really. So I hope everyone can get to know me through me. For me, as long as I can get over it, it’s not too bad. It’s not too bad now. I don’t know what will happen in the future, but I will come anyway. Of course moreThe important thing is that you can live your own life well.”

He said and bowed lightly: "Thank you."

The host is still a little dazed, probably not thinking about how to get back to the scheduled process, and there are still a few questions on the interview outline.However, Li Xuan didn't give him a chance to continue asking questions, so he directly pulled his hand and shook it, said something hard with a half-smile, and ended the interview with a strong posture that could not be refused.

"Where's the person?" The audience left the studio under the arrangement of the staff, and someone shouted Sheng Min's name, Li Xuan went straight to Yang Xu.

"Who... Brother Xuan... I don't know..." Yang Xu found out that the seat next to him was empty after he asked, "Oh, when did he leave?"

Li Xuan frowned and took out his mobile phone to dial Sheng Min's number.While Yang Xu looked around, he still didn't forget to ask him if it's scheduled for today?

"Brother, what you said is really good. Did you type up the manuscript? I was stunned."

No one answered the phone.The mechanical female voice prompts that the machine has been shut down.Li Xuan glanced around, the nearest exit path was the door leading to the backstage on the left, hung up the phone, and walked over quickly.

"Brother, brother, slow down." Yang Xu boasted that half of the people had disappeared, and hurried to catch up, calling him, "Slow down, brother, where are you going?"

Li Xuan didn't say a word, but walked very fast, Yang Xu couldn't keep up with him at all, sweat came out on his forehead, Li Xuan suddenly stopped in his tracks, turned around and asked him, "Where is Zhang Zhihua?"

"Ah?" He stopped so quickly that Yang Xu almost bumped into him. For some reason, he suddenly asked Zhang Zhihua again, and subconsciously said, "Still in the studio..."

"Don't follow me now, find Sheng for me... Where is Li Xuan? If you find him, call me...give me your cell phone."

He took Yang Xu's cell phone with a confused face, dialed his number, and hung up after it rang once: "This number."

"Whose is this..."

"Li Xuan's." Li Xuan said before he asked the next question, "He and I took the wrong phone today."

"It's not brother, you two have different phones..." Yang Xu was even more confused, but Li Xuan ignored him and asked him to find someone, then turned around and strode back to the studio.

Sure enough, Zhang Zhihua was still sitting inside, and a man next to him, who didn't know whether he was the director or the producer, was chatting enthusiastically.

"I'm sorry, I have something to do with my manager, so let's go first." Li Xuan grabbed Zhang Zhihua's arm without any explanation, and wrapped his other hand around his shoulder from behind.It seemed to be harmonious and friendly, but in reality he dragged Zhang Zhihua to the nearby bathroom, kicked the door and locked it.

"Sheng Min, are you crazy? What are you doing?" Zhang Zhihua yelled loudly as his hands hurt.

"What's going on today?" Li Xuan ignored his yelling, dragged him to the innermost sealed window before letting go, and asked directly.

"What's going on? What did you say?" Zhang Zhihua met his cold eyes, and his voice dropped half a decibel involuntarily.

"video."

"It's not me who recorded it, why are you looking for me when you're crazy?" Zhang Zhihua rubbed his wrist impatiently, and his tone was mocking and disdainful, "You have the ability to go to your mother, isn't it because she sold you out again?I don’t know how much the program team gave this time, anyway, it’s not the first time.”

"Not the first time? And when?"

"What are you pretending to be..."

"I'm asking you something." Li Xuan said coldly.

"Are you fucking stimulated crazy today?" Zhang Zhihua pointed at him twice and wanted to go around, Li Xuan took a step to the left to block him: "We won't finish talking today, neither of us will leave. I'm still willing to calmlyAsk you, and you'd better speak carefully."

His voice was not high, but he was indescribably cold.

"What are you talking about!" Zhang Zhihua was about to go mad with anger, but he was blocked by Li Xuan and couldn't get away.

"She sold less of your previous clothes, textbooks, and student ID photos? They were all sold out. When did you not get dragged out to make fun of you? During the Chinese New Year, I ran to the crew to ask you for money, and gave it to you in front of the whole crew.Two slaps, it’s been on the hot search for a few days... what else, oh, your younger brother got into a fight in a bar last year and was arrested by the police station, recording a variety show and your mother ran to the scene and asked you to lead him...Your family is bigHeaps of shit, you come to ask me? Amnesia? My brain is not working well."

When he said a word, Li Xuan's face became colder, his palms were propped on the window sill, and the cold water droplets remaining on the marble surface soaked the palm prints.

Zhang Zhihua saw that his expression was not good, and just thought he had been poked in the sore spot, making himself speechless, and even taunted him gloatingly: "But today's outing is okay, I called you a long time ago."You don’t like being miserable, how good this is, isn’t it right? Look at those little girls below, oops, their eyes are all red. The worse you are, the more sympathetic they are to you, and they are willing to spend time and money for you..."

"Enough." Li Xuan frowned.

"I think you should stop pretending to be aloof... You didn't perform well today. What are you talking about? You're going to cry on stage, and the effect is better..."

"I've said enough." Li Xuan repeated it again. Zhang Zhihua just pretended not to hear what he was proud of, and continued to chatter. Li Xuan took a step forward when Wuming heard it, and raised his hand to block it with his elbow.His neck: "Tell me well, don't you understand?!"

Zhang Zhihua's upper and lower teeth slammed together, his neck was pressed against by Li Xuan, and he couldn't speak any more complete words.

"Shut up if you don't know how to speak human words, let me tell you." Li Xuan added two points of strength to his hand, his face darkened, "I don't care what method you use, chat, beg, or threaten. When this episode of the program is broadcast, the content related to today's video is absolutely not allowed to appear, it must be cut. But if it appears for a second, I only ask you."

"All social software also keep an eye on me. If there are related posts, let's forget about the text. If something happens, I don't expect you to completely cover it. But if someone secretly took a photo of the video and sent it, contact the website immediatelydelete post."

Zhang Zhihua stared at him.His body was almost twice as wide as Sheng Min's, but at this moment he couldn't break free, his throat was suffocated, and he blushed so anxiously that his neck was thick.

"Do you understand?" Li Xuan let him struggle for a while before letting go. Zhang Zhihua bent down in pain and immediately coughed hoarsely.

"Sheng Min, you were bitten by a dog and you got rabies?" He wanted to fight back but he didn't have the strength to do so, and he cursed, and words such as "two chairs" came out, "Who did it, who did it, what are you and me doing?"

"Keep your mouth clean!" Li Xuan pointed at him viciously, "Zhang Zhihua, listen to me. I will find you if I don't find anyone else for this matter, and if I can't do it well, then get the hell out of me. I don't raise waste as a manager..”

Zhang Zhihua's eyes were filled with anger, and he coughed out of breath: "I'm going to get out? You still want to fire me? Sheng Min, who do you think you are? How dare you fight me because your wings are so stiff?"

"It's you who dare to fight me. My wings have hardened a long time ago, and it's not the first day. You just can't figure out the situation."

Li Xuan saw that he was half dead with anger, but his voice calmed down, and he said in an orderly manner: "I have read the report, and I contributed 27.3% of the company's income from artists last year... I don't even know what kind of expression you have,Your dereliction of duty is beyond my expectation."

His face-changing speed is really faster than flipping a book. Last second, he was still suppressed by force, but now he makes a rationale. Zhang Zhihua couldn't understand what he was singing: "So what? No matter how much you earn, you canThe company's entertainers..."

"Yes, it's easy for the company to deal with me, and I didn't confront the company. But you can't do anything about me." Li Xuan took a step back and leaned against the window sill, "If I remember correctly, myThe contract is due to expire next year. As for whether to renew the contract... I am actually very happy to cooperate with the company, but if I ask to terminate the contract because the manager is too useless... Do you think it is possible for you to leave before me?people?"

"You want to terminate the contract?" Zhang Zhihua roared with disbelief.

"Find out Manager Zhang, isn't it because you think that I have a good temper, won't terminate the contract, and can bear you? "

Sheng Min was so tolerant, maybe he didn't even realize that it was a kind of patience, Li Xuan couldn't help thinking.He paused and looked at Zhang Zhihua: "Do you still think so?"

The latter's expression changed slightly, and he finally calmed down. He unconsciously raised his hand to touch the bruise on his neck pressed by Li Xuan.

"Do you think the boss cares about my cash cow, or your cheap brother-in-law? You have lost several artists and only me is left." Li Xuan clicked his tongue twice, "Don't say you are his brother-in-law, you areHis son, he can't support you either."

"...you fucking threatened me?"

"Don't just fuck me, who doesn't know how to swear? Do you believe that I can swear ten times worse than you? Of course. This is indeed threatening you." Li Xuan nodded indifferently, "Is it effective? It should be a little bit."

"Do you think I'm really afraid of you?" Zhang Zhihua insisted, his voice was much quieter.

"I'm not afraid, it's not what I said." Li Xuan took out his mobile phone and looked at it. Yang Xu hadn't called yet, probably because he hadn't found anyone yet.He didn't want to entangle any more.Rolling up his sleeves casually and taking a step forward, Zhang Zhihua backed away like a frightened bird.

"You're not a complete waste either. It's because I was too careless in the past that you couldn't figure it out." Li Xuan tugged at the corners of his mouth, stretched out his hand to straighten his wrinkled front twice, and eased his tone, "Once upon a timeIf you still want to earn my money, then do your job well. You only have me as an artist. If you can’t even bring me in well, will the company give you someone else?, you know it in your heart. I live a comfortable life, and you will have good fruit to eat. This video today will be used as a testimonial. In the future, I will participate in any activities and have such accidents, and it will be your problem...Of course, this matterIf it’s done, you can still talk about it...whether it’s going to be done..."

Li Xuan shook his head pretending to be regretful, lightly flicked Zhang Zhihua's shoulder, and smiled: "Nowadays is different from the past, so weigh yourself."

He said, turned and left.Zhang Zhihua called him subconsciously: "Sheng...Sheng Min."

"What?" Li Xuan turned his head away, "Didn't I make my request clear?"

"No..." Zhang Zhihua muttered, his momentum weakened, his eyes seemed to be looking at a stranger.

He really doesn't know this person anymore.

It wasn't the first time Zhang Zhihua felt this way, but it was indeed the first time, and an inexplicable fear rose from the bottom of his heart.

What he said just now is not a threat. If the person in front of him can say it, he can do it.It was as if he had pressed against his neck just now, using 100% of his strength.If he was willing, he would really die here today, without any power to fight back.Zhang Zhihua suddenly had this idea.

But what he didn't believe was that anyone could do such a thing, but Sheng Min shouldn't.He is a person who has never had a temper, at least Zhang Zhihua has never seen him.Sheng Min seems to be separated from everyone, always indifferent, completely indifferent to everything outside.Like a handful of water, of course, it can be manipulated into any shape.

But if this is not Sheng Min, who is it?Who could it be?Zhang Zhihua shivered unconsciously.

"You, what's the matter with you recently?" Zhang Zhihua finally spoke, with a subtle hint of goodwill in his tone.

Li Xuan lowered his eyes, the dark green floor tiles in front of him seemed to turn red under the light, he knew that it was actually the color of blood that was not washed cleanly in the bathtub the day he woke up at Sheng Min's house.

"It's your credit." Li Xuan smiled half-smile, opened the door and strode away.
