"What to drink?" He put away his phone and turned to ask Deng Jing.

"Just like you."

Sheng Min gave him his own bottle first, and ordered a new bottle. Deng Jing was not polite, took a sip and asked him casually: "Did you call your friend just now? You came to pick up your one yesterday?"

Sheng Min's hand holding the water froze for a moment, then turned his head and said, "Why do you ask that?"

"It's okay, I'm bored." Deng Jing still smiled, and pointed at his neck, "Your dress looks better with the collar up."

Sheng Min wasn't sure if he saw something, Deng Jing was a seemingly naive, but actually very perceptive person.He has not studied drama systematically, not even for a few years. All his acting skills come from observing the people around him, which is a unique talent.

But Sheng Min felt that he had no evil intentions, so he just drank his saliva and smiled: "Go back?"

"Wait a while, it's hard to take a breath, I'm exhausted." Deng Jing said lazily, and then pointed him to a chair in the garden in front of him, "This is the best place to watch the sunset in winter."

"It's noon now." Sheng Min said strictly.

"I said in the future, not now, anyway, the days are long."

Sheng Min was not easy to answer.

"You." Deng Jing laughed and shook his head, "Don't be so careful, don't worry, Yin Qianpin will definitely choose you, if he doesn't choose you, he will regret biting the quilt and crying in the middle of the night..."

The description of this scene was too weird, the corner of Sheng Min's eyes twitched, Deng Jingman said indifferently: "He planned to choose you from the beginning, when Xiaoxie showed him the audition video, his expression was so disdainfulSurprised..."

Deng Jing imitated it perfectly, and said again: "So you have enmity?"

"Huh?" Sheng Min was startled, "When I was studying, Director Yin came to see me, but I didn't recognize him..."

"He's so stingy." Deng Jing drank the water and didn't cover it. He tossed the bottle cap in his hand like a ping pong ball and said carelessly, "I wanted to choose you but hesitated.There is no need to wait so long for the re-examination...Anyway, he has many principles, and he always feels uncomfortable, so he picks and chooses a few to try, and the result..."

Deng Jingyi clapped his hands: "Waste of time... So he was scaring me like this."

"Why did you come to act?" He took the initiative to mention it, and Sheng Min asked.

"Haven't you heard of it? My family is a herdsman, and I herd horses on the mountain. When he came to pick up the wind, he asked me if I would like to act in a drama. He said that it would definitely make more money than herding horses, so I believed it..." Deng JingSpreading his hands, "Looked me down the mountain, but he didn't sign the contract with me when it was over. He delayed me for two months, always threatening me, saying, 'Don't think you are talented, I'm a person who can't speak Mandarin well', IIt’s not that I haven’t been to school, it’s not that I haven’t studied, I don’t know anything..."

He cut it disdainfully: "I can't see him bluffing people, so you can rest assured... Those who came to the election thought that they were here to accompany the prince to study, which is good, but they recognized the wrong person, and the prince is here."

He tapped Sheng Min's shoulder: "As for me, I never came to compete with you in this drama. I was the B corner of this drama from the beginning...Why do you have this expression? It's normal.If you are the B-side, if there is a more suitable book for me in the future, you may also be the B-side for me, it is a reasonable division of labor, do you mind?"

"I just didn't expect you to say this to me suddenly." Sheng Min shook his head, took a sip of water, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of a figure passing by the corner from the corner of his eyes.

"I think you're still a little nervous. Please rest assured. After all, you are fun and good-looking... Besides, there is something sudden and it's not a secret. Everyone can see it, but you don't know... Otherwise, you think heI'm too lazy to even bother going to the awards ceremony, why drag you around every day..."

"Eat biscuits?" Deng Jingzheng was talking vigorously, but Sheng Min interrupted him suddenly.

"Huh?" He was puzzled, but he turned around cooperatively and stood in front of the vending machine again, "What's wrong."

Sheng Min slid his fingers to the glass door and tapped lightly: "There is a person next to the wall."

Deng Jing took a closer look at the shadow: "With you?"

"Maybe." Sheng Min's Adam's apple twitched, "I just saw it."

"Every time there are people on the drama tour, I'm so annoyed... I get out of the car to say hello to them, and run away one by one." Deng Jing sighed, "You can't stand being followed every day.?”

"I don't know what's going on, it's been a lot these days, it's okay." While speaking, the man left again, Sheng Min smiled, "Let's go, we're going up."

"Wait." Deng Jing pulled him, stretched out his hand to help his collar inadvertently, and said with a smile, "I want to eat biscuits, the ones in the green packaging."

Sheng Min was really indifferent to the shallot-flavored biscuits, and Deng Jing shook his head when he repeatedly invited them.But smelling the faint sweetness and seeing the golden leaves of the ginkgo on the opposite side rustling down, suddenly felt a little craving for chestnuts, so went upstairs and sent Li Xuan a WeChat message, asking him to buy a cake at the gate of the software park when he came.Shop for a copy.

Li Xuan was going to a meeting, when he received the message, he couldn't help smiling, and turned around to arrange the administration: "Chestnuts, matcha, sweet-scented osmanthus, and newly released persimmons, buy one of each of several flavors of Melaleuca, and put it in my office... and then buy some egg tartsMuffins are your afternoon tea, you can choose whatever you want."

"Thank you Brother Xuan."

"Bring me some fried rice next to me...I haven't eaten yet." Qi Boyuan just came in from outside the gate, loosened his tie, and saw Li Xuan holding the computer, "Are you going to a meeting?"

"Um."

He looked like he was going to talk about investment, Li Xuan didn't ask, Qi Boyuan took the initiative to say: "There is no progress... these capitalists... But I read the background data and it's okay, your adoptive father is just not as good as you,Either the money is not paid far enough and Xin is not dedicated. If this continues, even if there is no investment in, we don't have to worry for the time being... Has your adoptive father been looking for you recently?"

Li Xuan smiled noncommittally, why not, it has never stopped in the past few days.

"He should give up... There can't be a more damaging move..."

Qi Boyuan muttered, and felt that this was unlucky, so he quickly slapped his mouth twice after speaking.Listening to Li Xuan's cell phone ringing: "Your call."

The latter glanced down, and then at Qi Boyuan.

"what?"

Li Xuan shook his head, thinking that people really can't help thinking, saying that Cao Cao Cao Cao will arrive, day after day, even if he refuses to accept, he will continue to fight.Put Li Ming directly into the blacklist: "It's okay, harassing phone calls. You go back to the office for a while, eat your meal, and I'll finish the meeting."

Li Mingge realized that he was probably blocked when he was still on the call for the third time.The nanny at home called and said that Shu Xin's condition was not good today, and she went to sleep after two injections of diazepam. Naturally, he wanted to ask Li Xuan to question her, but unexpectedly, he became more and more presumptuous...

Li Mingge was annoyed by the mechanical female voice, frowned, stood up, and stood still for a few seconds, then suddenly slammed the phone on the ground, Zhou Qi on the other side was startled, and quickly gave himpick it up.

Luckily the carpet was thick enough and it didn't break.

"You bastard!" Li Mingge burst out. He prided himself on being a cultured person, and he always paid attention to his posture in front of his subordinates. Zhou Qi didn't dare to say a word, and silently shrank aside.

"I asked you to investigate! How is the investigation?! It's been a long time, and there is no progress?" It's a pity that it is impossible for him not to be seen, and someone must follow up his anger.

"I'm just going to report this to you, Mr. Li." Zhou Qi hurriedly put the photos he had just typed out and a few A4 papers on Li Minger's desk.

"Who is this?" Li Mingge pointed impatiently at Deng Jingdao in the photo.

"A drama actor should be Sheng Min's friend. He is rehearsing a drama recently." Zhou Qi replied respectfully.

"Is this taken today? That's all there is?" Li Mingge frowned, and the photo fell to the ground, "You can't use your brain when doing things? I want these things to be interesting?!"

"Mr. Li, Mr. Li..." Zhou Qi hurriedly said, "Others, I also photographed some... Xiaoxuan..."

"He what? Talk!"

Zhou Qi gritted his teeth, and took out a few more photos: "Mr. Li, look for yourself..."

Li Mingge took it and frowned.

The photo was taken in the garage. Li Xuan and Sheng Min entered the elevator together. In fact, there were not many overstepping movements. There was even a distance of less than half a meter between them, but when talking and laughing, there was a sense of difficulty for others to blend in.intimacy.

Check, check, check.Zhou Qi thought to himself, who knew he could check these things.

"Mr. Li." Seeing several photos of Li Mingge over and over for a long time without expressing his opinion, he said cautiously, "Sheng Min and Xiaoxuan should be close friends..."

"Friend?" Li Minge sneered.

Don't say what friends say?Zhou Qi thought in embarrassment, even if he felt that there was something between these two people, he must never mention it.

Being a secretary is really not such a difficult job, as long as you don't get involved in the boss's family affairs.

No matter how Li Mingge disliked Li Xuan, it was Lao Tzu who was dealing with his son. He was caught in the middle with a foreign surname, wouldn't it be suffering at both ends?Li Mingge loves his wife like his life, and Shu Xin is ill. Seeing that this son is like a beady eyeball, once Li Xuan figured it out, he might not be sure who his immediate boss is...

"With such an independent personality, how can he have such a friend who lives in the same room? Picking up and dropping off?" Li Mingge scolded coldly after reading the photos one by one, "You can't get on the stage..."

Hearing what he said, Zhou Qi secretly thought it was bad, and his back was sweating. Li Mingge's temperament has changed a lot in the past few years, especially recently, and at this age, how can he get used to such things?These family secrets told him to know what was going on. If he had known earlier, he might as well not have said: "Mr. Li, here, I..."

"You did a good job on this matter." Unexpectedly, Li Minge praised him.Rubbing the photo in his hand, he pressed his backhand on the table, thoughtfully, "Isn't he an artist..."

He obviously saw a distorted expression on the old man's face. He leaned against the desk and rubbed the corner of his mouth twice: "What else? How about the person who asked you to check their company last time?"

"I also found some." Finally, one thing was done well, Zhou Qi sighed secretly, pointing to the A4 paper that was handed over with the photo just now, "It's just that there are not many employees in Yuanyi, and the turnover is not high.Some basic information, if you want to start from the inside, I'm afraid..."

Mostly because he felt that the first errand was done well, Li Mingge didn't lose his temper for a while.

Zhou Qi bit the bullet and continued: "In fact, the overall structure of Yuanyi is also simple. The core is Xiaoxuan, and his partner surnamed Qi. In addition, they have a senior from the same school who jumped over from Yuanxin.It is relatively central. This person has a little more information... Mr. Li, if you have any ideas, start with him, maybe..."

"Is this also from their company?"

Before he finished speaking, Li Mingge cut him off suddenly.Zhou Qi followed his finger and looked at it, it was a photo.

Zhou Qi really worked hard, bought the security office of the software park, and adjusted the surveillance at the far gate.Take photos of all the people who come and go frequently.

"Yes." He recalled the few materials, "It seems that the original administrator has left, and it will not exceed a month, and the monitoring and storage time is not that long..."

Now the camera is very accurate, even the inadvertently exposed scars on the arm can be seen clearly, Li Minger thought, he has seen this person before.It happened seven or eight years ago. On a video of the criminal suspect's interrogation, there was also a detailed document...

Zhou Qi didn't understand what was noteworthy about this person, but he saw a strange excitement in Li Mingge's expression.

"I said..." He picked up Sheng Min's photo again, as if he had suddenly realized something, with a cloudy expression, "So it's a new love and an old love..."

Zhou Qi heard his subtext, and his eyeballs were about to fall out, wondering if Li Mingge was thinking too much, and didn't dare to speak, wishing that he was a dead person for a while.But Li Mingge didn't let him go: "This person has left?"

"Yes... resigned." Zhou Qi swallowed, his brain crashed, and he couldn't remember the name, "It's called..."

Li Mingge spoke: "Zhao Jizhe."

"exist."

Zhao Jizhe responded, this is his twentieth day in the hospital.The condition of this mental hospital is very good, it looks like a garden from the outside, time slows down here, and the boundaries of each day are not clear, but he remembers the days and counts them, Li Xuan did not come to see him.

Being cheated, Zhao Jizhe thought, Nineteen just wanted to get rid of him, and he was a liar. heard that the wards here are very expensive, and he wants to get rid of him after spending so much money...

The door was opened, and it was the nurse who had just called him.

"Do you want to take medicine?" Zhao Jizhe asked listlessly.

"No...the living room on the first floor, someone is here to see you."

"Look at me!" Zhao Jizhe stood up vigorously, "Will you come to see me?"

After he finished asking, without waiting for the nurse to answer, he rushed out in a hurry, his shoes were not put on, and he almost stumbled.

"nineteen."

He happily pushed open the door, the man in the living room turned his head, Zhao Jizhe suddenly stopped his feet, disappointment and surprise surfaced on his face together.

"I know you..." After a long while, Zhao Jizhe said, he still remembered the last time this person quarreled with Li Xuan in the office, the whole company heard the movement, and subconsciously took a step back.

Li Minge sat on the sofa proudly: "I know you too, maybe earlier."

"It's you who want to see me?" Zhao Jizhe asked carefully with a confused look on his face, "What do you want me for?"

Li Mingge looked at him, he originally disdain to talk to such a person, but now the situation is different after all.He didn't answer Zhao Jizhe's question, but instead asked him: "Did Li Xuan send you here? Mental hospital... My son, everyone is sick."

The last sentence inevitably contained personal grievances, and he looked at Zhao Jizhe again with a smile that was not a smile: "It's cruel enough, you have a relationship like this, he just put it aside..."

Even if Zhao Jizhe was not smart, he could tell that the person was not kind: "I wanted to come here." He also thought that the relationship between Li Xuan and his adoptive father should not be harmonious, and if Li Xuan found out, he would definitely be even angrier: "I can't hearI understand what you're talking about."

He turned around in a panic and wanted to leave, but Li Mingge said unhurriedly behind him: "You stayed well in his company, why did he suddenly send you away? Throw you into this kind of place? You neverEver think about it? . . . boy, everything happens for a reason."

After finishing the words, he was satisfied to see Zhao Jizhe stopped: "You should be able to access the Internet here, too."

Zhao Jizhe stood where he was and didn't look back, but it didn't affect Li Minger's tone of victory: "There was an artist named Sheng Min who had a car accident more than four months ago. It is easy to find news on the Internet. Go find someoneFind the pictures of the scene, and check them along the way, and you will find something different."

He only said this sentence, buttoned up his suit and got up, and passed Zhao Jizhe a business card, but Zhao Jizhe didn't answer it, and Li Minge casually stuffed it between his fingers: "Take it, there is also a mailbox number, After you check it, you can go up and take a look, I left some things for you. After reading it, you will want to come to me."

At one o'clock in the morning, the sudden ringing of the phone tore a crack in the silent night.

Li Mingge hadn't slept yet, and Shu Xin's condition was getting worse and worse. She woke up just now and started to feel nauseous and vomit again... The nanny asked vaguely again whether she should go to the hospital.

Li Minger hated that place.

There he lost his son and his wife.

But Shu Xin couldn't eat anything, so he had to start thinking about whether the examination that Li Xuan said that day meant not the spirit but the body...

That bastard who doesn't know good and bad, what does he know.Li Mingge turned his head and glanced at his wife on the bed, she will be fine, all will be fine.

The top priority is to get Li Xuan back quickly... Shu Xin's illness is very simple, a dream is enough to heal everything, all he has to do is to create this dream for her.

Fortunately, Li Minger looked down at the strange incoming call on the screen. This late-night visitor did not disappoint him.

There was no sound from the receiver for a long time, but Li Mingge was not in a hurry.

Finally, Zhao Jizhe said, "I don't understand what you mean."

"It seems that I have checked and read it." Li Mingge said, "If you don't understand, you won't make this call. What I mean is naturally what you think."

"This is impossible!"

"I have more evidence, do you want to see it?"

Zhao Jizhe stopped talking, he heard the mentally ill man in the next ward crying, every night.He thought he was going crazy too.

how can that be possible?Zhao Jizhe thought... nineteen, how could it be nineteen?

But he recalled the hickey-like red spot on Li Xuan's neck...Zhao Jizhe felt a deep deception and betrayal, how could it be nineteen, how could it be?Such a disgusting thing...has he forgotten his pain?Or, is this a kind of contempt and revenge for him?

"If you really don't believe it, you can also verify it yourself. I'll get you out of it and someone will take you to see it." Li Minger said lightly.

"Why?" Zhao Jizhe asked after a long time, his voice was trembling, as if it was cold, "You have no reason to do this."

The fish was hooked, and Li Minge rubbed his tired eyes.

"Of course I won't help you in vain. We can make a deal. Li Xuan has been outside for too long and needs to be taken care of. Maybe you will be useful."

"I won't do anything to hurt Nineteen."

Zhao Jizhe said subconsciously, speaking categorically, Li Minge smiled contemptuously: "It's just a small lesson, he is my adopted son, and my wife values him very much. I won't do anything to him...let him returnThe family is for his own good, son, it is also good for you. Li Xuan now feels that he is promising, his wings are hardened, and his heart is wild. If he learns a little lesson, he will know that he will come back. Our family will not accept it.Actor... After all, you have known each other since childhood, and you are different, when Li Xuan comes back, I can treat you as my son."

Li Mingge himself felt disgusted when he said this. When he was socializing in his early years, he also saw playing with little boys, men and men, and they all looked dirty.

"Treat me as a son...? You mean, you want to adopt me too?" Zhao Jizhe asked hesitantly.

What they said was not the same thing at all, Li Mingge frowned, thinking that it was not unreasonable for Li Xuan to send him to a mental hospital, which adult needs someone to adopt...

"It's not impossible if you want to."

"I won't hurt Nineteen." Zhao Jizhe said it again.

"It won't be difficult." Li Mingge said, convincing Zhao Jizhe was easier than he expected, as expected, he had never studied before, "I have some information about their company personnel, you have been there, tell meWho has conflicts with him, or has been scolded by him, Li Xuan has a bad temper, I know, it is impossible for all subordinates to be satisfied..."

"that is it?"

"Of course it would be better if other information could be provided."

Zhao Jizhe still hesitated: "You can also find someone else..."

"Of course." Li Minger said, "Firstly, I don't want to waste any more time, and secondly... I think it's more interesting for you to do this."

Zhao Jizhe's focus didn't seem to be here, but he cared more about another thing: "You are Shijiu's adoptive father... Are you really willing to adopt me?"

Li Mingge thought that Zhao Jizhe was so obsessed with this matter that he wanted to divide his family property, so he sneered in his heart: "Yes."

"I... I'll think about it."

"It's okay, think about it slowly." Li Mingge said lightly, "I can have someone get you out of the hospital tomorrow... I heard from the doctor that since you entered, no one has come to see you, right? LiXuan didn't either. I'll get you out, so you can go and see him secretly, and check to see if what I said is true."

The silence lasted longer this time, and Li Minge patiently twirled a string of beads. Finally, Zhao Jizhe replied, OK.
