61-70
He's from 1945
Chapter 61
Zhou Sheng really hadn't thought seriously about whether to divorce or not. He didn't care much at first, because they didn't seem to be in a normal marriage relationship. Later, when he knew what marriage was all about, he thought that was it.
He had no intention of finding someone, so it didn't matter whether he divorced or not.
But Chu Qinbai's words changed the taste of this marriage.
From the initial conditional exchange, it became his need and his request.
Zhou Sheng knew that they really couldn't go back.
Chu Qinbai said it bluntly, and he didn't seem to care as much as he thought.
Zhou Sheng stood by the door.
After a long time, he said, "Then I'll stay somewhere else tonight."
Chu Qinbai's heart sank completely.
It can't be said that there was no gambling in what he said just now.
The gambling was that Zhou Sheng was not completely without feelings.
But this person is like a perfect barrier. Whether you stir up ripples or knock open cracks, he has the ability to calm himself down again and again, and even try to patch up the cracks.
Zhou Sheng walked down the stairs to leave.
Chu Qinbai grabbed him and looked at him: "You are really difficult to deal with. Do you know, Mr. Zhou, others say that I, Chu Qinbai, am difficult to deal with, but who knows that you can beat ten Chu Qinbais?" Zhou Sheng
was speechless and choked.
For the first time, he felt that he was like the heartless and unfaithful man in the opera, all because of Chu Qinbai, so that in the end even he himself was confused.
Zhou Sheng couldn't help but glare at him: "I didn't ask you to find me."
"You still have a temper, right?" Chu Qinbai simply pulled him to his chest, peeking at the panic under his temper, but relieved, pinched his arm, and softened his words, "Okay, let's not discuss this topic today. Consider it as me inviting you to stay at Qin's house tonight, okay? You accompany me to visit the graves, how can I really let you stay out, and besides, there is no place for you in the town so late."
Zhou Sheng looked up at Chu Qinbai's eyes.
Such a person compromised and gave in again and again, Zhou Sheng didn't know what he was doing.
Zhou Sheng: "Chu Qinbai, you don't like me anymore,
do you?" "Do you have to piss me off to death tonight?"
"I'm serious." Zhou Sheng said, "You will have a hard time because I don't plan to be with anyone."
Chu Qinbai pinched Zhou Sheng's waist with one hand, his eyes calm, and said, "Oh, really? That's a pity. But no matter from the legal or moral level, we have been together for a long time. In your life, even if you die of old age, your husband must engrave my name, Chu Qinbai."
Zhou Sheng realized belatedly that this was almost the same as what he had said when he was standing on the steps just now.
Anyway, Chu Qinbai was right.
So whether he agreed to go in or not, it made no difference to him.
This person was clearly trying to get his reaction.
Zhou Sheng knew him for a long time, and he should have guessed it long ago.
Zhou Sheng was not afraid of trouble, but was afraid of this kind of unreasonableness.
But this was the first time that he didn't even have the idea of ââstruggling when faced with such words.
Chu Qinbai didn't give him a chance to react, and directly led people in.
The old house was a square building, cleaned very well, and well preserved inside. Zhou Sheng followed him to the ancestral hall to burn incense for the tablets. Zhou Sheng bowed and stood there quietly.
Chu Qinbai lit incense and asked him, "Do you feel scared when you come to a place like this?"
"What's there to be afraid of?" Zhou Sheng said.
The Zhou family's ancestral hall used to be more exaggerated than the Qin family's, because if you count the ancestors, it can be considered a very large family. Zhou Sheng would go to kowtow during festivals. When he was naughty as a child, his father would punish him by kneeling in the ancestral hall.
Chu Qinbai is a big star. He did not return to his hometown to worship his father's family. He brought Zhou Sheng to see the ancestors of his maternal grandfather. It can be seen that except for the eldest brother and the second sister, he really cut off his relationship with the entire Chu family.
Zhou Sheng watched his movements and asked him, "Do you believe in ghosts and gods?"
"No." Chu Qinbai answered very straightforwardly, took two steps forward to put the incense in place, looked at the tablet and said, "At least it was like this before. Praying to gods and Buddhas is just human nature, for peace of mind. But recently, I have been a little tempted to believe."
Zhou Sheng always thought that he was a firm materialist.
A person who lives realistically and soberly, and is exposed to the most prosperous technology circles, I don't know how he can say such a thing.
"Why?" Zhou Sheng asked.
Chu Qinbai glanced at him, "Because I can't find any other reason to explain it."
Because of his eyes, Zhou Sheng's heart inexplicably sank.
It was not the panic he had before, but a sense of fate that came out of nowhere.
If Chu Qinbai really knew something, he would not have kept saying it so speciously, but he obviously had not given up, and had touched the edge of the truth.
Zhou Sheng let out a breath without making a sound, and said calmly: "There are many supernatural phenomena in society, which cannot be explained by scientific language. There is no need to get to the bottom of everything. Because maybe in the end, you will find that everything is different from what you imagined."
Chu Qinbai stepped back, looked at him, raised his eyebrows and asked: "Then let me ask you, do you believe it?"
"What?"
"Believe in gods and Buddhas."
Zhou Sheng looked over, "I believe it."
He didn't believe it before, because if gods and Buddhas were useful, there wouldn't be so many wars and displacement.
But the facts made him believe it.
He still doesn't want Chu Qinbai to know the truth now, not just because it is an incredible thing. It is precisely because Chu Qinbai mixed emotions in it.
Because of emotions, everything wants to know and understand.
But when he knew that what he was exploring was just a soul that had exhausted all its strength in the past, was already riddled with holes, and didn't even belong here.
Was it shock or disappointment, or sympathy and pity caused by love. Zhou Sheng believed that he didn't need such extra attention in the past and now.
And what Chu Qinbai would get in the end would only be endless emotional burden.
So, as he just said, the truth is often very different from what we think it is.
As a result, Chu Qinbai did not play by the rules at all and said, "Since you believe in gods and Buddhas, you should believe in the laws of nature. Meeting me may be your destiny in this life."
In the Qin family's ancestral hall.
The candlelight in front of the tablet was dim.
Zhou Sheng stood there and heard someone say that meeting me may be your destiny in this life.
Zhou Sheng had an impulse for a moment, so he might as well tell him directly.
He has experienced a lot, and even talked to him about gods and Buddhas and the laws of nature. I heard that such a thing might only say one sentence, "So you are from 1945, your origin is quite special."
Zhou Sheng finally thought about it and let it go.
Chu Qinbai should be like Chang Zheng in the movie, and use three months to experience it superficially.
History is in our hearts, not to remind us repeatedly and repeat the same mistakes.
Those real images and the past.
Only those who should experience them should experience them, and those who should remember them should remember them for life.
Zhou Sheng looked at him for a while and then smiled.
As a person who has experienced a long and real past, facing Chu Qinbai in the future, he called him "Xiaobai" like calling a teenager
. Chu Qinbai stood in front of him as an adult, frowning at him.
Zhou Sheng said, "Stand in the light all the time, and just stand in the light all the time in the future."
Even if the growth experience is not necessarily smooth, the darkness of the original family is always growing, even if there are endless uninhabited corners under the hustle and bustle around, sin and ugliness are still growing.
But he has come a long way, from a teenager to a young man, he is the actor Chu Ge in the entertainment industry who is admired by the predecessors and chased by the younger generations.
He is suitable to stand at the top.
Instead of chasing a shadow, and a person who is awakened by old dreams from time to time, to bear the memories and pain that do not belong to this society, and do not belong to anyone here.
That does not belong to the dazzling person. It
belongs only to Zhou Sheng.
Chu Qinbai's eyes condensed inch by inch.
He heard the unspoken meaning in Zhou Sheng's words.
He said the truth was different from what he expected, and he just didn't admit that he was indeed not the original Zhou Sheng.
This disguised admission was a precursor to another push away.
He called him Xiaobai, and there was piety and sincerity in his eyes.
But Chu Qinbai had never been so shocked.
He used gods and Buddhas as a breakthrough point, but he was actually unsure in his heart. As he said himself, it was because he couldn't find any other way to explain it. It
was obviously Zhou Sheng's body, but there was a different person inside.
It was not amnesia, nor was it a change.
It was really a soul that was switched.
Who is this soul? What is his name, how old is he, where is he from? They are all mysteries.
Zhou Sheng tried to use this tacit way to tell him that it would be fine here, Chu Qinbai, let's stop here.
But how could it stop here.
In the candlelight, Chu Qinbai looked at the dark and bright eyebrows in front of him, thinking about how he looked when he first came to East Lake. At that time, he was actually not himself, right? This was
the first time Zhou Sheng was willing to reveal a little information.
Chu Qinbai seemed to be afraid of scaring people away. No matter how turbulent his heart was, his face was calm.
The warm light softened the deep emotions in his eyes, leaving only the normal look when facing Zhou Sheng. He even took two steps forward and held the person in his arms. He
also broke the heavy emotions around Zhou Sheng. He opened
his mouth in a very normal and relaxed tone and said, "What did you call me just now? You called me like that in front of so many elders. Where is my face?"
Zhou Sheng was successfully misled by him.
While trying to back away, he asked, "Why? No one has ever called you that?"
Chu Qinbai didn't let him go. "It was only when the first movie came out. I was young at that time, and there were many fans who called themselves mom fans and career fans. They called you that. Later, they stopped. I always think that this name is like calling a pet cat or a pet dog."
Zhou Sheng was at most a senior, and complained, "I don't think so."
Chu Qinbai lifted his waist and whispered in a breath, "Yes, Mr. Zhou sounds like calling a lover."
Zhou Sheng was not only shocked by his action, but also by his words. While embarrassed, he did not forget to back away suddenly, "The ancestral hall is a sacred place, don't talk nonsense."
Chu Qinbai raised his hand and laughed, "I didn't know you were taboo about this."
"Practice your sincerity, so that the ancestors won't come into your dreams at night and scold you for being an unfilial son." After
Zhou Sheng finished scolding people, he picked up the coat that fell on the ground.
Shake it, put it on his arm, and simply turned around and walked out. It cannot be denied that the back figure felt like he was running away after feeling that he had blasphemed his senior.
Zhou Sheng didn't know that after he left, Chu Qinbai stood there and looked in the direction he left for a long time.
It was six o'clock the next morning.
The road up the mountain was long, and there was still dew in the grass on the roadside.
Chu Qinbai's mother was not buried in the cemetery, but in an independent tomb on the mountain. It can be seen that it is well managed. There are no weeds around it, and there are traces of fruits and paper money offered in front of the tomb.
The photo on the tombstone is very young, bright and beautiful like a girl.
Zhou Sheng felt that he should have something to say to his mother, so after paying his respects, he considerately went to the other side of the path to wait for him.
Chu Qinbai half-knelt on the ground and glanced at the back of the quiet figure standing on the hillside. He
turned back and wiped the dust off the tombstone.
Chatting: "I remember when I was a child, you said you found a master to tell me your fortune. I have few relatives, I have achieved success and fame, but marriage is hard to find. I never believed in such things before, but now I really believe it after meeting him."
"A few days before coming, he said he was afraid that you would be angry if you saw him."
"You have seen the situation, it is quite special, and I haven't figured out the details yet. I just want to give you a shot in advance, Ms. Qin Ruo, please don't find him to make trouble for me. I am really unsure now."
Chu Qinbai still felt absurd after saying it.
He didn't expect that one day he would be able to say such ridiculous words to his mother's tombstone.
But now he not only said it, but also said it sincerely.
Before, he vowed that she would only look for him if she was angry, but now, he seems to be able to accept the incredible setting that his mother would really look for Zhou Sheng.
Chu Qinbai thought, if Zhou Sheng's existence brought a cloud of absurd and beautiful fog. Then choosing to walk in was the only time in his life that he could not turn back and was willing to make a choice.
Chapter 62
It was not more than ten o'clock when the tombs were swept.
Zhou Sheng heard the bell of the temple halfway up the mountain, and he wanted to walk over to take a look.
"It's still early, let's go together." Chu Qinbai suggested.
Then they went together.
The temple hidden in the mountains, at this time, there were not many pilgrims.
Chu Qinbai's identity was special, and when people looked back for the fifth time, Zhou Sheng decided not to go with him. He couldn't wander around, but Zhou Sheng didn't care and walked around casually.
When Chu Qinbai saw him again.
He found that he was led by a little monk and was lighting lamps around the Buddha statue.
He had plain hands and simple clothes, and his expression was peaceful.
"What does it mean?" Chu Qinbai asked the old monk standing next to him.
The old monk said: "That is lit for the deceased, to pray for blessings, and one lamp represents a person."
"One lamp, one person." Chu Qinbai repeated this sentence.
Then he watched Zhou Sheng light one, two, three...
When he came out, he was already covered with the fragrance of butter Buddha.
This time, Chu Qinbai did not ask him who the lights were for.
He just asked, "Are you leaving? Or do you want to shop for a while?"
Zhou Sheng nodded, "Let's go."
Back in town, it was afternoon.
The market in the town was also very lively during the day.
Walking across a stone arch bridge over a stream, Zhou Sheng's steps suddenly paused.
He looked back.
"What's wrong?" Chu Qinbai asked him.
Zhou Sheng retracted his gaze and shook his head, "I always feel that someone is following me."
In a certain premonition, Zhou Sheng's sensitivity is not lower than those in the entertainment industry who are often followed by photographers, but when he turned around just now, he only saw passers-by setting up stalls and children playing.
He felt that he was too sensitive again.
Chu Qinbai heard what he said and frowned and looked back.
Zhou Sheng pulled him, "If someone really took a sneak shot, do you think the photo is not clear enough?"
Chu Qinbai put his hands in his coat pockets and said in a slightly cold tone, "He has been following me for so long, he must not be a passerby."
Maybe he was spotted by paparazzi.
Based on this, they did not stop and drove away directly.
No car was found following them on the road.
Zhou Sheng no longer paid attention to this.
Looking at the mountains outside the window retreating little by little, Chu Qinbai drove the car with one hand, and the atmosphere was a little silent.
At this time, Zhou Sheng's phone rang. It was from the marketing department.
After answering, he hesitated.
"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Sheng thought it was a work matter, and said, "If you have anything to say, please tell me slowly."
The other party's tone was faintly trembling: "Our company's phone has been bombarded with calls."
The next sentence: "Mr. Zhou, is your marriage to Mr. Chu true or false?"
Zhou Sheng: "..."
This thunderbolt caught Zhou Sheng off guard.
He held the phone and looked at Chu Qinbai.
Chu Qinbai looked over, "What's wrong?"
Then, Chu Qinbai's phone rang again.
He turned on the speakerphone, and it was Fan Xuan's voice that came out. The first sentence was: "Something happened."
Zhou Sheng was still shocked, but when he heard the terrible tone of the vigorous and resolute female agent on the front line, he calmed down.
Chu Qinbai was always calm, and said, "We may have encountered paparazzi and been exposed?"
"Are there reporters following you?"
Chu Qinbai: "Not sure."
Fan Xuan was sure, "It should have nothing to do with your people."
Fan Xuan heard anxious footsteps turning around, and then she explained the whole story.
First, someone posted an article on a well-known gossip forum.
The title was "Talk about the rise of my amazing rich second-generation ex-friend."
At the beginning, there was a very attractive content: the rich second-generation went from a well-known scoundrel and social scum to successfully marrying a first-line superstar.
"Let's call him Z for the second-generation rich. His family used to be really rich. He drove luxury cars, spent money in public at the most upscale bar in the city center, and had nannies and servants to serve him since he was a child. But in the past two years, the family business has not been doing well. Z is used to a comfortable life, so how can he stand to live frugally? Anyway, when he is out of money, he asks his biological father for money. His father is remarried, and he feels guilty about him, so he basically satisfies him
." "I don't know how Z got to know this big star, and he is still pestering her and making a fuss. I don't know if this superstar was cursed by someone, but in the end he actually married him."
"Z has since cut off his past circle. Relying on the connections of this superstar, he has not only inherited the family property, but has also entered the top upper class circle in the country. Isn't it awesome?"
- This story is outrageous.
- A scoundrel who is crying and making a fuss, he must look like a fairy to be liked by others.
- OP, unless you post a photo of your former friend, no one will believe it.
Being so excited, the whistleblower actually released a few photos.
The environment looks like it was in a bar.
Long yellow hair, clothes and pants with chains, a cigarette in his mouth, and a smoky atmosphere around.
This is the beginning of the whole thing.
It was about this rich second generation, but because the post was labeled as a first-line superstar, there were really bored people who listed all the first-line stars in China.
The second wave of fermentation was because the person who Zhou Sheng had led people to cause trouble for others was exposed.
The person in question was a real 18th-line star.
It is estimated that he wanted to take advantage of this to get some popularity, so he jumped out by himself.
He claimed that he thought he had met a madman at the time.
He was originally just a small group special in the crew, and just because he posted a photo of buying water for the actor Chu, this madman brought people to find him and warned him to stay away from Chu Qinbai.
In this way, the first line was locked on Chu Qinbai.
With this one, there is a second and a third.
As for substantial evidence, there is no, but some clues seem to really confirm the content of the post.
Now, passers-by are crazy, and fans are crazy too.
#Chu Qinbai's marriage true or false#
#Guaqu breaking news#
#First-line male star#
#Shamatte#
One entry after another broke out.
Passersby came out one after another.
ââI declare that this must be the funniest gossip of the year, the kind that can be on the entertainment industry's historical rankings.
ââDon't say it, if you zoom in on this person, his facial features are really good, but if Chu Qinbai really married such a person, I would eat my phone.
ââWhy are fans pretending to be passersby? There is so much evidence in the post that has been hammered, okay? Still struggling here.
ââDidn't everyone say that Chu Qinbai is a perpetual bachelor? The fans are now slapped in the face.
Fan Xuan said: "Our public relations monitoring ignored Zhou Sheng's side, which is why the matter has become so big. What should we do now? Whether you admit it or not, this matter is difficult to handle."
"Find out who did it." Chu Qinbai said. Fan
Xuan: "What?"
"You ignored the point because it is a fact that I married him. This is not an accidental exposure." Chu Qinbai said calmly, "The post appeared this morning. Zhou Sheng has never been exposed. Even if I was involved, the popularity would not rise so quickly. And this timing is also very coincidental. Not only must you be familiar with the routine of public opinion in the circle, but you must also be an insider."
Fan Xuan is a smart person after all, and has seen a lot.
When she heard this, she sneered.
Then she said: "I will deal with it immediately, but what should I do now?"
"I'll talk about it when I get back."
Chu Qinbai hung up the phone.
Zhou Sheng had not spoken a word until this moment, and then he said: "No matter how this matter is handled, you don't have to worry about me. You can't find more information on the Internet."
"Are you so sure? Because of your current job?"
Zhou Sheng nodded: "You have a special identity, so before the project started, your personal marriage status had already been reported. Any news related to my identity and key projects cannot be widely exposed."
Chu Qinbai: "Then you will be scolded for a post and a few photos."
Zhou Sheng laughed: "It's just scolding, what's the big deal."
Chu Qinbai didn't say anything.
Not long after, they ran into trouble on the road.
Two cars came from the nearby path.
One was a gray van and the other was a Hyundai. The Hyundai followed behind, and the gray van was always side by side with them.
"What's going on?" Zhou Sheng sat up straight and realized that something was wrong.
This didn't look like an ordinary paparazzi following the car, nor did it look like a fan.
"Sit tight." Chu Qinbai glanced at the rearview mirror and reminded him, "Hold the horizontal bar on your right hand side, don't hit your head."
Zhou Sheng heard the words and held on tight, and just as he grabbed it, the car body suddenly tilted.
The van deliberately cut them off.
Chu Qinbai's face was suddenly filled with gloom.
He turned and drove to the front.
This section of the road was the most remote section, with almost no other cars. They chose this section of the road to block them. They must have known the terrain and had been following them for a long time.
This early, maybe since they left Lancheng.
Zhou Sheng took out his mobile phone: "I don't know where they came from, I'll call the police first."
Three cars crossed on the road and sped away.
The other party was probably about to drive out of this section of the road, so they rushed forward and hit them directly.
The car body was hit and swung its tail on the grass by the roadside. Originally, the co-pilot side was injured, but because Chu Qinbai turned the steering wheel violently, his half of the front of the car was about to hit the cliff. Zhou Sheng unbuckled his seat belt and blocked it with his back almost instantly.
With a bang, the front of the car sank in, hissing and smoking.
The world lost its voice for a moment.
Zhou Sheng's eyes went dark, accompanied by tinnitus.
Then he heard a gnashing voice, "Zhou Sheng, do you want to die?"
"I can't die." Zhou Sheng pressed the injury on his forehead, looked at the broken glass shards on the car, and said, "The other party didn't want to hit us to death. If I didn't block it, the broken glass would go straight to your face. If it pierced your carotid artery, it would be a big deal."
"It seems that I should still praise you?"
When Chu Qinbai felt Zhou Sheng's action, it was too late.
He said this man was a tiger, originally just teasing, but he really didn't care about his life. Chu Qinbai found that his hands were numb.
The big actor opened his hand and took a look, and swore, "Fuck."
After confirming that it was really not serious, he let him go.
Zhou Sheng glared at him: "It's okay."
Then he pointed to the window, "People are coming."
Four or five people came around and knocked on the car body with sticks, "Which one is Zhou Sheng? Come out."
Zhou Sheng looked at Chu Qinbai.
"See, it's for me."
His forehead became red and swollen, and blood flowed down along his brow.
Chu Qinbai violently shook the stuck car door, stepped out of the car with his long legs, and Zhou Sheng followed closely. Zhou
Sheng held the car door and spoke first: "Looking for me?"
There were many people on the opposite side, and they looked ill-intentioned.
The leader looked at him, "It's you, the president of Zhou, right?"
"You are the ones in the town." Zhou Sheng said, "I have called the police."
The other party laughed and said, "We dare to come to you, do you think we are afraid that you will call the police? To tell you the truth, we are just entrusted by others. You must know that the project you are holding now has affected the interests of so many people. There are deep waters here. Mr. Zhou, I see that you are so young. If you want to save your life, you should withdraw obediently. People said that it will take half a month, otherwise we will keep coming to you."
Zhou Sheng thought for a while.
"The people who hired you, Xinyuan?"
The other party was speechless, and several people looked at each other.
Zhou Sheng was a little annoyed. He wiped his forehead and frowned, "It is said that Xin Yuan used black to whiten his identity. This method of doing things is really eye-opening."
The other party did not expect that the employer would be guessed so easily.
When paying the deposit, it was said that the money would be reduced by half if the identity was exposed.
But since it has come to this.
There is nothing to say.
The other party said: "Since you know who it is, Mr. Zhou should be sensible."
"That's right, we were originally planning to go to the company to make trouble, but who knew that you suddenly came to such a small place for no reason, causing us to go around in circles. Mr. Zhou doesn't want to be in trouble in the future, right?"
"Who do you want to trouble?" Chu Qinbai closed the car door.
Someone looked over and discussed in a low voice: "This seems to be a celebrity."
"This matter cannot be reported in the newspaper."
When the leader heard this, he looked to the other side and put on a reasonable look, "We don't blackmail celebrities. We are also talking about serious business with Mr. Zhou. I advise you, who doesn't know anything, not to interfere."
Chu Qinbai walked around to Zhou Sheng's side.
"Why do I have to intervene?"
"Then you are looking for death."
Chu Qinbai punched the driver directly, his eyes fierce.
A scream of pain rang out, and the scene was in chaos.
A few minutes later, looking at the person who climbed out of the ditch.
Chu Qinbai's face was dark, and he pulled his sleeves: "When legitimate means didn't work, he started to use some gangster behavior. The uncle of boss Xinyuan has a strong background, so he is so unscrupulous."
The other party's face froze.
Chu Qinbai: "You cheated a lot of people, right? I heard that someone died on the construction site two years ago. Is there any final result? How deep can the water in the North District be? Ask your boss to come to me and let me see it."
The other party pointed at him, "You, I remember, wait for me."
Chu Qinbai: "Get lost."
The man ran away.
Zhou Sheng didn't care.
"Why did you fight with them?" Zhou Sheng stood there and said: "They are just a bunch of hooligans."
Chu Qinbai looked over and said with a sullen look: "People like this have no bottom line. They will do anything as long as they are paid. Mr. Zhou, not everyone is as principled as you. I was there this time, but what about next time?"
Zhou Sheng didn't say anything.
He glanced at Chu Qinbai's hand.
He walked over and wrapped it with a handkerchief, which was stained with blood from his forehead. He
is so embarrassed. What happened?
Zhou Sheng thought.
He tied a knot and said: "Market competition, fighting is inevitable." He raised his eyes and said: "The other party does not follow the rules. Don't worry about it. I will settle this account myself."
Chu Qinbai glanced at him and looked at his forehead. "You haven't got it back yet. Maybe you're finished because you blocked someone else's car."
"I know my limits."
"You have no sense of limits!"
Zhou Sheng: "..."
He looked into the other person's eyes.
Ever since the car crash, Zhou Sheng felt that he was holding back a raging fire.
Chu Qinbai used his hand wrapped in a handkerchief to slowly wipe away the blood at the corner of Zhou Sheng's eyes, staining the surroundings red.
The next second, he roughly dragged Zhou Sheng against the car body, and subconsciously used his hands to cushion his mouth.
But he lowered his head and bit him hard.
This was not a warm kiss.
It was filled with fear and anger.
Zhou Sheng felt pain and frowned.
But he did not push away.
It was very quiet beside his ears, and the person in front of him cared so much.
Zhou Sheng always felt that all the emotional expressions, confessions, and conversations in this trip. After leaving here, they will be buried in this place forever. Times have changed, Chu Qinbai is still Chu Qinbai, and Zhou Sheng is still Zhou Sheng.
The result was as if it was planned. The things that suddenly fermented on the Internet were a mess, and this kind of thing happened on the road again.
Everything was not going well, and countless things were waiting to be dealt with urgently.
For no reason, it seemed that all the rejections and self-righteousness were suddenly removed.
Fate prevented him from walking out of this road.
At this moment, they were kissing at the scene of the car accident.
Zhou Sheng suddenly felt that he had lost.
In less than 24 hours, a single thought led to a massive defeat. Losing to Chu Qinbai, losing to this accident, turned out to be so quick and easy.
Chu Qinbai stepped back and pressed his forehead against his, "Zhou Sheng, you'll drive me crazy sooner or later."
Zhou Sheng paused, stretched out his hand and pinched the back of Chu Qinbai's neck.
Then he smiled, "Chu Qinbai, then you can try with me."
Chapter 63
Chu Qinbai froze, and continued to wait with his forehead pressed against his for nearly five seconds, frowning and asking softly: "What did you just say?"
Zhou Sheng had no choice but to repeat, "Chu Qinbai, then you try it with me."
Taking this step was a matter of a thought.
Saying it out loud was the final word.
I don't know why Zhou Sheng loosened up.
His willingness to say this instantly eliminated all the emotions in Chu Qinbai's heart.
The annoyance caused by this accident.
The moment before, he was still angry because of the inappropriate behavior of the person in front of him.
All of them disappeared.
The man who lit the lamp with his bare hands, the man who said he didn't plan to be with anyone, from entering the town until half an hour ago, Chu Qinbai felt that he was like the wind in the palm of his hand, which was hard to catch and difficult to understand.
Now, he has become the person in front of him who said he wanted to try it with him.
Like a hard-shelled species, quietly poking out soft flesh.
But he is serious and determined.
He handed over the opportunity, at least at this moment, Chu Qinbai did not see the intention to take it back in his eyes.
This is what it's like to go through heaven and hell.
Chu Qinbai was hoarse, and in order to relax the atmosphere, he deliberately asked: "Do you always make decisions so unexpectedly?"
Zhou Sheng raised his eyes: "If you..."
"Okay."
"What?"
"I said, okay."
Zhou Sheng was stunned, "I thought you should at least embarrass me."
"Who dares to embarrass you, Mr. Zhou." Chu Qinbai put his palm on Zhou Sheng's neck, and his thumb brushed his swollen lips. He whispered: "I deserve to fall into your hands."
"No." Zhou Sheng thought for a while: "Since I asked you, I will treat you well in the future."
Chu Qinbai laughed: "Do you know the real scumbag who would say this?"
"Be good to you?"
"Although I have no money, no house, no car, but I will treat you well."
Zhou Sheng lacked experience in love.
He didn't know how bad Chu Qinbai was. In addition, he reversed himself. He agreed to give it a try, but because of his special background, he couldn't help but take a step forward even though he was not sure if he would suddenly disappear one day.
With a little guilt and being questioned, he was eager to give conditions and compensation: "I'm serious. What do you want? When you have enough liquidity, you can buy a house and a car, or invest in a movie for you...right?"
Before Zhou Sheng finished speaking, Chu Qinbai put his hand around his waist and lifted him up.
I don't know how this person usually practices, but he lifted him up so that he could only stand on his toes and press him on the car. With a long leg, his knee stuck between Zhou Sheng's legs, he leaned in and said: "You sound like you want to support me, you know this is not what I want."
Zhou Sheng was really thinking seriously.
Asked him: "Then what do you want?"
"Forget about investing in me, just remember what you said today. If you suddenly say you don't want to try without giving a reason one day, then you're done, understand?"
Zhou Sheng ignored his threat: "Let go first."
"You haven't answered my question yet."
Zhou Sheng looked into his eyes, and after a while, he compromised, "Okay, a gentleman won't go back on his word. Can you let me go now?" Zhou Sheng
was not let go in the end.
Chu Qinbai pressed him down and kissed him again, and told him on the lips: "But I'm not a gentleman."
Mr. Zhou just agreed to give it a try.
Turning around, he personally experienced what Chu Qinbai understood as a try.
He was so embarrassed that he almost regretted it on the spot.
In this remote place, even if the police received a report that they were being followed and chased by a car, they would arrive slowly.
It was a little late when they arrived.
There were four police officers in total, three men and one woman.
They were still discussing on the way, thinking that it was some kind of family emotional dispute, or a conflict between neighbors. After all, in a small place, most of the cases they received were trivial cases like this.
When they arrived at the scene, they were completely dumbfounded.
A car that looked ordinary and was worth at least a million was almost completely destroyed.
Two adult men, both with excellent temperament, were not locals.
The gentle and calm man who greeted them first seemed to be injured. However, it was not serious. Instead, the red and swollen corners of his mouth made people more imaginative.
The other one was even more unexpected.
It turned out to be the big actor Chu Qinbai.
After watching too much online news, the police's first reaction was that they had encountered an extreme private life. In the end, they learned that it was a business dispute, and the scope of involvement was not small. They said that the case had to be reported and they could not handle it.
After taking the statement, they found a car and returned to Lancheng.
As soon as the car left.
Several policemen looked at each other on the road in the evening.
The intern male police officer said slowly, "Are we going to have the first opportunity to report online in our small police station?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" The old police officer hit his head with a folder, "Do you think it's a good thing to make a big fuss? In the eyes of the police, celebrities are also citizens. It is the duty of the police to protect other people's privacy!" The
intern male police officer touched his head in injustice.
Muttered: "I was just talking. This is my first time to see a celebrity."
Another police officer said: "The one who called the police was another Mr. Zhou. In the final analysis, this matter has little to do with whether he is a celebrity or not." After that, he couldn't help gossiping: "I didn't expect that there would be a lot of noise on the Internet today, and we met him the next time. The marriage is real, but the marriage partner is different from what is circulated on the Internet."
The female police officer glanced at her colleague.
Disdain: "You haven't understood this melon, have you?"
"What do you mean?"
The female police officer: "Don't you see that the Mr. Zhou just now is the one on the Internet."
The colleague couldn't believe it and doubted: "No way, two people are okay?"
The female police officer was sure: "It's one person."
The colleague took out his mobile phone and really flipped through the photos on the Internet.
After looking for a long time, "It seems, indeed, quite similar. But I always feel like they are two different people."
"The difference is quite big."
"It's strange to say, such a hot gossip in the past, one day later, the identity information of this person has been completely exposed. But I just flipped through it and found that it was still the same few photos, and there was no substantial content."
The old policeman is not like the young people.
The things he looks at are not superficial.
While greeting people to get in the car, he said: "You guys, don't just surf the Internet all day. Lancheng is a first-tier entertainment metropolis, and it is also a key economic zone of the country. There are countless turbidities inside. This matter doesn't seem to have made a big fuss today, but openly blocking traffic on the main road and threatening and intimidating with violence is to disregard the law!"
Back to the case itself.
The atmosphere became serious.
"What is the background of Mr. Zhou?"
"Well, Xiao Yang, you go to the Municipal Bureau tomorrow to understand the situation. We can't be careless about this matter. After reporting it, see how the higher-ups deal with it."
"Okay."
In the car, the trainee police officer said timidly: "But just now I saw that Mr. Chu didn't seem to rely on us to solve the problem."
"The entertainment industry has seen everything." The policewoman said calmly: "This kind of hooliganism, with his background and financial strength in Lancheng, it is very easy to solve. Mr. Zhou doesn't look like a passive person. They have been waiting here today. I think the main reason why the car can't leave is that they have been waiting here all day."
"When you put it that way, we seem useless."
"It doesn't have much effect in the first place. Although it happened here, the problem is still in Lancheng after investigation. We can only intervene very limitedly. Just do what we should do."
"Shouldn't we take a group photo just now? If Chu Qinbai's marriage is confirmed, the fans will go crazy."
"Can you stop embarrassing yourself?"
In a sense, they are indeed the first to know the truth.
Many people didn't sleep well that night.
The phone line at Zhou's front desk was not reconnected until everyone got off work.
The public relations and publicity departments of Chu Qinbai's studio worked overtime overnight, and everyone's phone was answered one after another.
Netizens were still jumping up and down in the melon field in the middle of the night.
ââThree days in the early morning, it seems that I can't wait for the truth.
ââLet's all break up, break up, it's been a day, and the studio hasn't made any movement. It's likely that they won't respond.
ââThe last sentence before going to bed. If the marriage is true, I will stop being a fan.
ââI can't accept it either, why don't you respond. I've been a fan for ten years, and I really haven't seen my sister-in-law, but even if you and that Ren Qixuan are real, I won't feel so uncomfortable. I feel too uncomfortable. Do you have family members who understand?
ââI understand. Chu Qinbai has never had many scandals, and Ren Qixuan is at least acceptable. What's going on now?
ââEmmmmm, as expected, there are many cults in the middle of the night, and all the demons and monsters have come out.
ââPlease don't disgust us normal fans with the remaining cult CP fans, and don't use the name of being fans to morally kidnap us. It is up to Brother Chu to get married or not and to marry whomever he wants, okay? I give up.
ââThis gossip is too
outrageous, so the studio won't respond. ââThe second-generation rich man in the forum is really not a good person. If he really relies on his relationship with Chu Qinbai to be so lawless, then I will be really disgusted.
ââIn fact, there is a sentence that I don't know whether I should say or not. After years of eating gossip, I advise everyone to be more open-minded. Because the rumors that seem the most outrageous and least true are often the truth in the end.
ââShut up above.
ââProphecy warning.
The heat of this matter remained high until the next morning.
Chu Qinbai drove to the studio.
Chen Dengdeng sat in the passenger seat, holding a bag, looking at his boss.
Chu Qinbai was getting impatient with being stared at, "What's your new problem? If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you looking at me?"
Chen Dengdeng: "Brother Chu, why do I feel like you're in a good mood?"
"Is there anything that I should be upset about?"
Chen Dengdeng was numb, holding up her phone almost to his face, showing him: "The front page headlines, the hot search terms from yesterday to today, a total of thirteen! The studio was badly scolded, and some people went to my Weibo to scold me."
"Who told you to open a Weibo account yourself." Chu Qinbai mustered up some of his thin patience, "What did he scold you for?"
"You said I was playing dead."
"Someone actually found a photo of me carrying my own bag during my period and asked me if I was happy to see you getting married when I clearly wanted to be your girlfriend?" Chen Dengdeng complained with a pout, "You are really sick. How can I find a boyfriend in the future if you slander me like this?"
Chu Qinbai glanced at the rearview mirror and asked casually, "You don't have a boyfriend?"
Chen Dengdeng glared, "...Are you still human?!"
Chu Qinbai glanced at her and then asked, "Did Xiaolin send him to the airport?"
Chen Dengdeng: "..."
"Yes." When Zhou Sheng was mentioned, Chen Dengdeng had to honestly say, "It was a message sent half an hour ago."
Chu Qinbai hummed, "I remember to charge my phone."
"Are you afraid of missing Mr. Zhou's message?" Chen Dengdeng gossiped.
Chen Dengdeng did not go with the tomb sweeping this time, after all, it was the boss's private matter, but she could see that a lot of things happened during this time that she didn't know about.
As a result, Mr. Zhou went to Beijing for a meeting as soon as he came back.
Chu Qinbai: "I asked you to charge, why are there so many questions?"
Chen Dengdeng complained silently in her heart. Even if she was in love, she couldn't expect a bad-tempered boss to be humane instantly.
The downstairs of the studio had long been blocked by reporters.
When they saw Chu Qinbai's car, they rushed over frantically.
Chen Dengdeng was scared when she saw this scene.
She took the phone and said, "I'll ask the security to come."
As a result, Chu Qinbai opened the door and got out of the car.
Chen Dengdeng was startled and hurriedly followed him.
"Brother Chu, please respond to the rumors on the Internet in the past two days."
"Is it true or false?"
"The majority of netizens are very concerned. Can the man in the photo reveal some information to us?"
People squeezed together and were blocked by the hastily arrived security guards before they could pass. There were still many who followed all the way to the door.
Suddenly, a reporter said sarcastically, "How could our brother Chu look at that kind of person, right?"
Chu Qinbai turned around at the door.
Cold eyes: "What kind of person?"
The reporter was speechless.
Chu Qinbai looked around and said while holding the car keys: "I am not responding because the matter has not been investigated clearly. I will pursue legal responsibility for the leak of private photos and personal attacks on him. In addition, I am married. Thank you for your concern."
Chapter 64
Zhou Sheng had to take time off to go to Qiwu Town, so many work arrangements and plans were postponed. He took people away without stopping as soon as he came back, and some documents were signed on the way.
Zhou Sheng brought a total of five people to the meeting in Beijing. Xu Chao
did not come this time, and the secretary was Tang Mi.
The girl couldn't wait to touch up her makeup as soon as she got off the plane. Her colleagues laughed and teased, "Secretary Tang, the meeting is in the afternoon. Why are you putting on makeup now? You are beautiful enough."
"What do you know." Tang Mi continued to touch up her lipstick in front of the palm-sized mirror. "A woman's battle must be exquisite at every moment." After that, she took out her mobile phone and took a selfie. After sending it, she said to the phone in a coquettish voice: "I'm here."
The people around her lowered their voices, "Something happened."
"Who are you sending it to?
" "Isn't your target our President Zhou?"
"Can't I change my target?" Tang Mi rolled her eyes at the person who asked the question, glanced at Zhou Sheng who was walking side by side with Zhu Qin in front, and muttered softly: "President Zhou is married, and I don't steal married men's girls."
"Isn't this unconfirmed?"
"Although the photo on the Internet is of the former President Zhou, what does it prove? It's just gossip from netizens."
Tang Mi lifted her hair.
With a sidelong glance, "Do you remember who picked up Mr. Zhou at our last party?"
The colleague thought about it and suddenly realized, "Xu Chao said it was the driver at that time, and we also said that he looked like Mr. Chu. So, it was really... the real person?" This mentioned that it was not just this time, "Yes, yes, there was another time before, when Mr. Zhou brought the kid to the company, remember? He called our Mr. Zhou his aunt, and said that his uncle was..."
The colleagues looked at each other silently, and the atmosphere was frozen for a while.
"So... it's true?"
"What did we miss?"
"But I think Mr. Zhou is very calm. There was such a quarrel online, but he didn't react at all."
Zhou Sheng knew that the Internet was very lively.
He didn't care about being curious or anything.
Holding the bag, Zhou Sheng walked and listened to Zhu Qin, then said, "The authorities have just issued the final round of bidding announcement. There are only a few companies that may win. Xin Yuan is desperate now. It is a good thing to do it now."
Thinking of Xin Yuan's style of doing things, Zhu Qin's expression was hard to describe, "What good thing is this?"
"The investigation of the core enterprises in the northern district will begin soon. Xin Yuan will be the first to be affected."
"Is the news accurate?"
"Ninety percent." Zhou Sheng's expression seemed normal at this time, but he also had ruthless moments, "The remaining ten percent, I will fill it for Xin Yuan this time, they must withdraw from the core area of ââthe northern district."
Zhu Qin shuddered, knowing that since Zhou Sheng said it, he was really sure to do it.
There is a kind of leader who looks gentle and not aggressive.
But such people must have a charter plan, which is almost difficult to change, because they have their own set of rules of conduct. Once someone breaks it, when they are ruthless, it will make people feel scared.
Zhu Qin has always been curious.
Zhou Sheng is young and has no work experience. How did he develop such a temper? Working with him, there is almost no worry, because he can do what you can think of, and he has already made arrangements for what you can't think of.
Zhu Qin concealed his emotions and tapped his forehead, "Boss Zhou, is your injury serious?"
As soon as he asked this question, Zhu Qin noticed that Zhou Sheng was distracted for a moment.
This is even more strange, it seems that this injury has a story.
Zhou Sheng paused before saying, "No big deal, just a minor injury."
He resisted the urge to touch it with his hand.
This morning, he deliberately used his hair to cover the finger-wide medicine patch on it.
He didn't want to apply it at first, after all, he had a meeting, but Chu Qinbai forced him to apply it. When changing the dressing, he also endured another wave of Chu Qinbai's cold eyes. Every time his eyes swept across his forehead, Zhou Sheng felt that his whole body pressure would drop by one degree.
This injury is also proof of Zhou Sheng's impulsiveness.
To say regret, actually there is none.
It's just that when I calm down, I sometimes find it incredible.
He rarely made impulsive decisions in his two lives. In the past, the environment and situation did not allow it. He had to remain calm and rational in any situation. It may be that he has been calm and rational for too long. After the impulse, this feeling is not as bad as he thought.
While following the rules, he also thinks that it is different after all.
The moment of compromise is the beginning of softness.
Just when he thought of this, a colleague behind him suddenly exclaimed.
Pointing to one of the wall-mounted screens in the exit hall.
"Look there!"
Zhou Sheng turned around and really saw Chu Qinbai.
In the report, he was still wearing the clothes he wore when he went out in the morning and was blocked by reporters at the door of the company.
Zhou Sheng saw him looking at the camera and just heard him say: "I am married, thank you for your concern."
Zhou Sheng only noticed at this time that Chu Qinbai's name could be heard from time to time in the whole hall.
It can be seen how big this matter is.
Colleagues looked at Zhou Sheng cautiously. They were considered half-informed. They were just discussing it, so their shock was not exaggerated than others. Instead, they cared more about Zhou Sheng's reaction.
Zhou Sheng smiled, "Why are you all looking at me?"
"Boss Zhou, Chu..." The colleague couldn't call him by his name anymore, so he changed his name to "Chu, Brother Chu, is that an official announcement?"
Zhou Sheng retracted his gaze, "He is a public figure. When something like this happens, he needs to be frank and give an explanation to the outside world. Continuing to conceal it will become deceiving the public. That is his job and responsibility. The problem is not who is marrying him, but the marriage itself."
Zhou Sheng took the lead and left: "Let's go and prepare for the meeting."
The colleague originally thought it was not okay.
The online scolding was so fierce, admitting it at this time would only aggravate the situation.
But Zhou Sheng was too rational.
So rational that everyone felt that admitting it was right.
But.
That's the actor Chu.
#Chu Qinbai personally confirmed the marriage rumors#
This news topped the entertainment list at a very fast speed and occupied the front page headlines of major platforms. People on the subway on their way to work, people listening to the radio while driving, and public officials sitting in office buildings.
In the era of entertainment first, everyone participates.
The degree of the surge in popularity is completely different from yesterday's speculation without substantial evidence.
"I'm asking you, are you sick?" In the studio building, Fan Da's agent, wearing nine-centimeter high heels, was so angry that his chest rose and fell several times. He yelled at the man sitting cross-legged on the sofa: "Yesterday I told you that this is not a good time to expose! You said you would wait for you to come back to deal with it, and this is how you dealt with it for me? Do you know the seriousness of the matter!"
"How serious is it?" Chu Qinbai responded casually and picked up his phone.
Many bad friends came to see the joke.
Qu Ruyi: "You are quite brave, just admitting it?"
Chen Musong: "Old Bai, what's going on? I know you are in a bad mood every year on your mother's death anniversary, but can you not make such big news?"
Qin Qiwei: "Brother,???"
Lu Ming: "Call me back when you have time."
...
Chu Qinbai swiped down and didn't reply to any of them.
He covered the phone and continued to talk to Fan Xuan: "Did you receive a notice that the project was cancelled, or did you unilaterally terminate the contract?"
Fan Xuan: "..."
All the output was blocked by Chu Qinbai's words.
That's right, the project was not cancelled, and the cooperation continued.
He still had a mountain of S-level scripts in his hands, but!
Fan Xuan suppressed his anger: "I have checked this matter. Did you know that Ren Qixuan was with Yu Tong?"
"When did it happen?" Chu Qinbai sat back and asked.
Fan Xuan: "Not long ago. Just after your last movie promotion party, Yu Tong was always thinking about him. It almost got into trouble that time. I heard that it was Ren Qixuan who came back to post. After he followed Yu Tong, he got several official resources. Now he doesn't take Shengkai seriously at all. Lu Ming can't control him. He is basically in a state of half-giving up and may terminate the contract at any time."
Chu Qinbai: "Does this mean that Yu Tong and Ren are involved?"
"On the surface, it's Yu Tong. "I'm Not Me" wants to reap the last profit. You are the best candidate for the topic. Although Yu Tong knows that you are secretly married, I guess he doesn't dare to offend you blatantly. So I checked it carefully again, and found that it was Ren Qixuan who provided Zhou Sheng's old photos, and he also asked someone to post the post."
Chu Qinbai sneered, "They are both very brave." Fan
Xuan sat down opposite. Chu
Qinbai admitted that it was the kind that couldn't be taken back.
She is now helpless.
Instead, he talked about the reason behind it, and he was so angry that he asked, "What did you do last time? Ren Qixuan looked like he was ready to fight to the death. I used to have poor eyesight, but I thought he was okay?"
"He didn't want to fight to the death, otherwise he would have found Yu Tong?"
"Do you think Yu Tong wants to protect him?"
Chu Qinbai turned his phone upside down on his knees and said calmly, "Then he overestimated himself."
That afternoon, the studio responded.
It was just a brief statement.
According to the studio owner's opinion, it was translated into two meanings. First, they are married, but it is private life, and no more unnecessary responses will be made. The second is to hold people accountable.
Unlike other stars, they did not list a long list of black fans and said they would sue.
But ten minutes later, two other news came out in the entertainment section.
Shengkai unilaterally announced the termination of the contract with Ren Qixuan, and because Ren Qixuan violated the contract many times, he was sued for a sky-high price of 80 million.
"I Am Not Me" was completely removed from theaters. The official reason given was that the director's filming concept did not conform to the official value orientation, so it was removed from the shelves.
The public has not yet recovered from the news that Chu Qinbai admitted that he was married.
I was hit again and was dizzy.
ââI vaguely smelled some kind of thunderous anger. Just when they said they would hold the responsible party accountable, the two people involved were related to the actor Chu. Am I overthinking it?
ââIs the movie removed from the shelves because of the news about the starring actor these two days?
ââSilly, it must not be. Didn't you see the notice? It's the director's problem. And I think this reason is also very perfunctory. Chu Qinbai took this movie as a mission drama. Whether it is removed from the shelves or not has nothing to do with him. On the contrary, I think it may be that he is settling the score later?
ââWhat do you mean by "after the autumn", so fast, this is a settlement on the spot.
ââDoes this mean that the actor Chu was exposed to be married, was it really someone's trick?
ââEighty percent is right, otherwise it is such a coincidence?
ââYou guys go and check the hot list! The hot search has been removed, and all the entries related to marriage have disappeared in almost a few minutes.
This matter seems to be getting bigger and bigger.
More and more people are involved.
Ren Qixuan's fans have always been fierce in combat. They jumped out on the spot and made a big fuss.
Some people also began to analyze the clues.
ââRen Qixuan's termination of the contract and the claim for compensation were suddenly reported in the news. If you look at it alone, it is understandable that he was pulled out to take the blame. But the movie went wrong right after that, which is very intriguing. Ren Qixuan's fans must know that he just took the lead in director Yu Tong's next movie. Problems happened at the same time, you can think about it carefully.
ââAlso, fans, don't jump yet, it's not that I look down on you. If this matter is really related to him, then he is finished this time. Chu Qinbai is a secret marriage, and his status will not be affected by public opinion. If you want to deal with him, at least you have to be involved in drug abuse, prostitution, and financial problems, and the kind that can put him in jail. What's the point of exposing someone's marriage, scolding him for finding someone that the outside world doesn't like? To put it bluntly, who a person marries is none of your business.
The more they quarreled, the more chaotic it
became. The new and old hatreds of both sides added up, and they had a lot of fun.
Until that night.
The Internet suddenly became much quieter.
Because Chu Qinbai's pressure was so strong, some key words were directly removed and could not be found even by searching.
Zhou Sheng's black hot searches were gone, not to mention attacks, even photos of "Zhou Sheng" could only be seen in some corners.
The only remaining heat was basically around Chu Qinbai himself.
Those groundless insults were rarely seen since the other two news came out in the afternoon.
Instead, the terms of termination of contract and movies topped the list.
After a day, the uninformed netizens gradually saw the direction of the wind.
This matter is not simple.
The only remaining news about Zhou Sheng is the forum post that broke the news at the beginning.
A large number of people poured in again.
But the host seemed to have disappeared and never appeared again. The few eighteen-line people who jumped out at the beginning also completely stopped and became turtles.
This situation that was public and seemed to be unpublicized made everyone's curiosity occupy the high ground.
They left messages below.
ââWho is his married partner? No one has said who it is for two days. Are netizens this generation so lame? The real partner chose to go public, and then turned around and overwhelmed all the news. This...
ââIs it true love? This is a kind of protection.
ââI don't think so.
ââIndeed, the real partner cannot be found, but didn't someone find out that the actor Chu filled in the overseas materials last year that he was married, proving that this is definitely not a recent marriage. Look at the schedule of last year posted by fans. Two movies took nine months. Some staff said that there was no one around him except his assistant at that time, and he was basically busy the rest of the time. If it is true love, would you love your wife so much?
ââMarriage, rich people's marriages are often the least free.
ââI also tend to guess this. This time it was exposed too suddenly. I guess it was forced, so I can only admit it.
ââIf you say so, then I will boldly start predicting divorce.
ââI think divorce is a matter of time, it depends on how it will be made public.
ââI hope this post will last forever, I will check in every day.
ââCheck in +1
...
In less than two days.
One Monday afternoon, the post was suddenly pushed up again.
The latest content is a photo posted by a netizen named 'Squeaky'.
It is quite far away, and you can see that it is raining. Next to the open car door, a handsome young man with black hair is bending down to get in the car. He unbuttoned his suit, lowered his head to reveal the white skin on the side of his neck, and above his head was a black umbrella held up for him by someone else. The photo freezes that moment. The raindrops splashing on the umbrella, the side face of the man with his eyes downcast, and the background showing so many people around him, but he is the only one who is the most obvious.
After posting the photo, the netizen said: "Do you think this person looks a little like the person in the post?"
Buildings within buildings instantly piled up into high buildings.
"I'm afraid you're sick."
"This guy is so handsome, he's exactly my ideal type."
"Thank you both, and the post says he's a unscrupulous rich second generation. OP, do you know what the background of your photo is? That's the famous CA building in Beijing. As far as I know, there's an important meeting going on here recently, so it's not a place where you can take photos casually."
"I advise you to delete it."
"OP, delete it quickly, I want this post to survive."
They were arguing and asking people to delete it.
The person who posted the photo looked at the car disappearing in the rain and muttered, "The photo didn't capture the face, it really looks like it."
In the car, Zhou Sheng tilted his head and pinched his eyebrows.
Tang Mi handed over a pill and frowned, saying, "Mr. Zhou, why didn't you tell me earlier that you were not feeling well?"
"It's okay." Zhou Sheng reached out to take it, "It's just a little headache."
Tang Mi: "That's something you have to pay attention to. You've been conditioning your body, and I think the effect is average. We have an official business party tonight, how about postponing it? Anyway, the meeting is over, and there's no point in going to this kind of party."
"Tang Mi." Zhou Sheng sat up straight.
He supported his knees with both hands and opened the medicine bottle, saying, "The kind of meeting we are attending this time is serious, but the most useful information and content often do not appear in such occasions."
Tang Mi has worked for so long after all.
She knew that Zhou Sheng was teaching her.
She asked humbly, "So the party is the focus?"
"Yeah." Zhou Sheng raised his head and drank the medicine without frowning. "You will go with me tonight. You have been following for two days, and you have almost heard the content of the meeting. You should keep a record in your mind, what people said, what it represents, and where it can play a role. These things will become a habit and will help you in your future work."
Tang Mi nodded immediately, "Okay, I remember."
"Mr. Zhou, drink some water." Tang Mi handed over the bottle and said, "This medicine is quite bitter. How can you swallow it without water?"
Zhou Sheng smiled and said, "Maybe I'm used to it before."
When they returned to the hotel where they were staying, the door was suddenly blocked.
The security guard asked everyone to check the check-in information.
"What's the situation?" The driver opened the car window and asked.
The security guard looked over and was already familiar with the car in the past two days, so he said, "Isn't this year's Feilan Award nominee ceremony in Beijing? Many first-tier cities have checked into the hotel, so it's a bit chaotic, so the entry and exit checks are stricter."
Tang Mi heard it in the car and asked Zhou Sheng quietly, "Boss Zhou, then... won't you come too?"
Zhou Sheng has been too exhausted in the past two days and now has a headache. He didn't realize what the driver was asking for a while.
After hearing Tang Mi's question, he replied, "Who's coming?"
"Ah, no one." Tang Mi smiled awkwardly, "I'm just asking casually."
The online situation has just calmed down, but everyone is shouting for divorce.
She was afraid that Boss Zhou and Actor Chu were arguing, and asking at this time was really not what she, a qualified secretary, should do.
Chapter 65
Chu Qinbai is indeed here.
The staff member of the Feilan Award organizer handed the process document in his hand to Chen Dengdeng who was standing beside him, and said to the man standing by the window with a smile: "Brother Chu, you are responsible for announcing the winner of the Feilan Best Actor Award. The process is basically these. Just get familiar with it."
The man by the window nodded: "Okay."
"Then I'll leave first." The staff member said.
Chen Dengdeng immediately put down his things, "I'll take you out."
After leaving the room, the staff member breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said to Chen Dengdeng: "Brother Chu is so quiet in private? I just looked at him, afraid that he would think I was talking too much."
Chen Dengdeng smiled, "No, I was like this when I first started as an assistant. I felt it was okay after getting familiar with it."
"We are all surprised that Brother Chu agreed to attend this time."
"Surprising? We and the Feilan Award are old friends." Chen Dengdeng has experience, and some polite words don't need to be thought about, basically speaking, "Brother Chu just happens to be free, it should be."
Who is not a smart person in this industry who comes out to connect.
He accepted the polite words and walked side by side with Chen Dengdeng in the corridor, chatting but also serious, revealing: "We originally planned to invite Director Yu Tong as the guest of honor this time, but our leader gave us a temporary notice yesterday and changed the person."
Chen Dengdeng pretended to be surprised.
"Really?"
"Of course." The staff member took the opportunity to show off, and said tacitly: "This is the first time for Brother Chu to be the guest of honor. He is willing to give this face, so of course everything is based on your side."
Chen Dengdeng sent him to the elevator entrance, blocked the elevator door with his hand and sent him in, and said goodbye politely.
When he returned to the room, he expressed his feelings to Chu Qinbai.
"Luckily, boss, you are very popular."
Chu Qinbai was looking at the process chart. "What do you want to say?"
"Didn't we know that Yu Tong was here early on?" Chen Dengdeng packed her things and said, "Something just happened online. If it wasn't you, no one would care whether you would meet, let alone adjust the arrangements."
Chu Qinbai didn't even raise his head. "That's the organizer's idea. It doesn't matter whether you meet or not."
"I know we are not the ones who should feel guilty." Chen Dengdeng said, "But I just can't stand him. He is so low-class in his work."
Yu Tong has good resources because of his connections, but he is also notorious.
Originally, they had always cooperated in movie promotions, and Brother Chu rarely cared about these things, because it was a normal thing in the circle. This time, she guessed that most of the reasons for the final move were because Mr. Zhou was involved.
Mr. Zhou could not show up due to work reasons, so they only suppressed him and did not completely block him.
This is why everyone is shouting for divorce now.
Chu Qinbai put down what he was holding and glanced out the window, "How long will this rain last?"
"The weather forecast says it will rain for the next two days."
Chen Dengdeng thought he was worried about the bad weather on the day of the awards ceremony, so she said, "Go directly to the venue when you get there. They said that due to the weather, the outdoor red carpet has been moved indoors."
Chu Qinbai didn't say anything.
Chen Dengdeng thought for a moment and realized that he had misunderstood. He immediately changed his words and said, "I don't know how busy Mr. Zhou is in Beijing. Brother Chu, haven't you contacted me these two days?"
"No." Chu Qinbai walked back.
Chen Dengdeng was puzzled: "Why not contact me?" Then he muttered, "I thought you were together after visiting the graves."
Chu Qinbai ignored his assistant's mumbling.
He took his phone and went out, saying, "Inform the studio to contact Lu Ming. This time, the matter should be handled more cleanly. If he still can't handle it cleanly, I will help him deal with it."
When Lu Ming received the call, he smiled bitterly, "How dare I trouble you? I have canceled my contract and won't ask for trouble." Then he gossiped again, "He really went to Beijing in person. Isn't this a big show of power?"
The studio had to say, "It's not because of that."
"It's not because of that? Then why did he go there?"
"To work."
Lu Ming: "..."
Zhou Sheng walked from getting off the car to entering the lobby. Although he was covered with an umbrella, his shoulders were still wet with rain.
Tang Mi walked beside him in high heels, saying, "Boss Zhou, go back to your room to change clothes and rest for a while. I'll let you know when the time comes."
"No need to rest." Zhou Sheng said, "Call the remaining few people to my room and make a brief meeting summary."
Tang Mi suddenly didn't know what to do.
This was her first time on a business trip with Zhou Sheng as a secretary.
In essence, she knew that she only needed to follow instructions and there would be no problem as long as she didn't make mistakes at work.
But caring about the boss's health seems to be part of her job.
She heard that Mr. Zhou had been in the hospital for a year and his health was not better than that of ordinary people. In Tang Mi's eyes, Zhou Sheng was calm and wise, and he rarely showed signs of fatigue even when working hard. Even so, she was always worried that his condition would worsen.
And he said he had a headache. Tang Mi guessed that this headache must have been greatly reduced.
When she was thinking about what to do.
Suddenly, someone blocked her way.
Tang Mi looked at the few people blocking Mr. Zhou.
Dissatisfied, she tried to stop them: "Excuse me, is there anything you can do for me?"
"Tang Mi." Zhou Sheng spoke, pulled the person back, looked at the man in his forties in front, and said: "Mr. Yao, just tell me if you have anything to say."
Yao Zhongxian, Xinyuan's current boss.
Not a cultured person, this man has deep wrinkles on his face, not very tall, with a flat head and eagle eyes.
Even in a suit, he couldn't dress up as a serious businessman. He looked at Zhou Sheng and said, "Boss Zhou, I think there are many misunderstandings between us about the previous things. I will treat you. How about you give me a meal?"
"Sorry, Boss Yao." Zhou Sheng said coldly, "I have other plans tonight."
Yao Zhongxian took a step closer and whispered, "Zhou Sheng, don't be so arrogant just because you are young. You squeezed my Xin Yuan out of the North District. You want to make a living in Lancheng. You should think about what you do."
Zhou Sheng said calmly, "Really? The lesson Boss Yao gave me is quite impressive."
When he said this, Zhou Sheng inexplicably thought of someone.
The person was driving the car, and the person asked him loudly if he wanted to die.
Zhou Sheng never thought it was worth getting angry when he met someone like Yao Zhongxian in the business world.
But now think about it.
If something really happened at that time.
Or, it was Chu Qinbai who got into trouble because of him. As long as he thought of this possibility, Zhou Sheng felt that he was not just angry.
After two days without any contact, Zhou Sheng realized more clearly that he actually cared.
Rejection was caring.
Compromise was actually also because of caring.
Only that person said in a lukewarm tone: "There have been countless tombs of heroes since ancient times. Mr. Zhou is so young, don't add another one. After all, the word widowed doesn't sound so nice."
He pulled him and asked him where he was going?
The streets of England, he said, are waiting for you.
They actually have so many memories to pursue. He
cared about it earlier than he thought, so that his last determination was interrupted by a seemingly insignificant accident. Chu Qinbai did not retreat but advanced, causing him to suddenly collapse.
Now it has aroused his emotions.
Zhou Sheng's eyes were slightly cold, and he said, "If President Yao thinks I am young, you can try it with me head-on. The preliminary investigation materials of the North District have been sent to Beijing City a long time ago. President Yao still has to worry about how Xin Yuan should go next. Instead of taking time out to treat me to a meal, it is better to spit out what you have swallowed over the years." Zhou Sheng moved closer, "Try to delay the handling, don't you think?"
Yao Zhongxian stared at him.
"It hasn't come to the last step, President Zhou."
Zhou Sheng nodded and said slowly, "Yes, but Xin Yuan in the North District is hopeless, so be ready to make room."
Tang Mi was frightened when she heard it.
President Zhou rarely treats anyone so rudely.
He could do it, but he rarely said anything, let alone being so blunt and merciless.
Tang Mi didn't expect that the other party also brought people to Beijing.
And they appeared in the same hotel.
They came to them, proving that they knew that they were investigated so quickly, and Zhou Sheng was involved. According to these people's routine, Tang Mi was afraid that Zhou Sheng would suffer.
"Boss Zhou," Tang Mi whispered, "I'll go call the security."
"What security?" Seeing that Zhou Sheng was unmoved, Yao Zhongxian gestured to the two people behind him and said, "It's not convenient to talk in the hall. Let's ask Boss Zhou to go to the room to discuss in detail."
Zhou Sheng looked at Yao Zhongxian and said, "Boss Yao, intimidation won't work on me. I know what you want to do today, but I tell you the truth, even if you get the bid from me, the Shangnan Old District will not fall into the hands of you, Xin Yuan. Throw Peter to pay Paul, my business philosophy does not include the set of rules implemented by Boss Yao."
Yao Zhongxian smiled, "Boss Zhou, don't talk so early. Isn't it good to talk about business and make money in harmony?"
Zhou Sheng: "Boss Yao, I'm sorry I can't accompany you in this way of talking."
Yao Zhongxian's skin and flesh froze, and his face turned completely black.
This time the company has a big hole.
The people behind him are no longer willing to cover the bottom. As long as they get what Xin Yuan wants, Zhou Sheng is nothing.
Seeing that he is leaving, how could he let him go so easily.
The two people behind him were instructed to take the briefcase and mobile phone from Zhou Sheng's hand.
"What are you doing? What are you doing!" The security guard hurried over.
While walking, he said: "What are you doing? Are you a photographer or a reporter? Don't you know that it is forbidden to make trouble these two days? Do you want to go to jail?"
The security guard subconsciously ignored Zhou Sheng, thinking that he was an artist or a celebrity who was in trouble.
He directly separated the other two people.
He asked them: "Who are you? Do you have any rules?"
The two people brought by Yao Zhongxian also seemed to be ignorant of the situation. They said: "We are just talking about business. What does it have to do with you security guards? Don't meddle in other people
's business!" Yao Zhongxian handed over his business card with a businessman's attitude and explained: "This is a misunderstanding. This is someone from my company, not a reporter. I came to Beijing this time for business."
The security guard took the business card and looked at it.
Seeing a long list of titles on it, he turned back to look at Zhou Sheng.
He looks so good, but he really doesn't match any celebrity face.
She had to go back and said, "No matter who it is, don't let them make trouble in the lobby. Do you know what the consequences will be if they make trouble here?"
Tang Mi saw the security guard's attitude of making a big deal out of a small matter.
She was anxious beside her, "Boss Zhou, if we don't get these people out, they will definitely cause trouble again."
Because of the arrival of the security guard, this place attracted a lot of attention.
At this time, the elevator door in the distance opened.
Several people came out, and they seemed to be talking about something. The content could vaguely hear data and valuation.
Tang Mi didn't see who it was. Although the security guard said that this place has received many first-line people, either stars who came for awards or investment tycoons in the circle, she is not a star chaser and has no interest.
And the trouble at hand has not been solved yet, so she had to take out her mobile phone to send a message to the people in the group, asking them to come down quickly.
Halfway through, she still noticed in her peripheral vision that the person in front of the group of people who came out suddenly paused.
Then he raised his foot and walked towards them.
Tang Mi looked up and looked across.
Then she was stunned.
She was still guessing before getting off the car.
But the person was really there?
Chu Qinbai was wearing a black sweatshirt, with one hand in his pocket, revealing a metallic black watch on his wrist. He was holding a mobile phone in his other hand. He was not wearing a mask, but a hat.
When he came over and stopped in front of Zhou Sheng, who was dressed in a formal suit, he frowned and asked, "What's going on?"
Zhou Sheng looked at the person in front of him, and after a while, he reacted and asked in surprise, "When did you come?"
Chu Qinbai glanced at Yao Zhongxian and the others coldly, then retracted his gaze and said dissatisfiedly, "I'm asking you."
Zhou Sheng had no choice but to explain, "The ultimate solution for a desperate dog to jump over the wall, understand?"
Simply translated, Xin Yuan failed to warn him, so he took the opportunity of a meeting in Beijing to come to the door.
He found the lobby of a five-star hotel and happened to encounter the strictest time for the hotel, and was mistaken for a paparazzi and a proxy photographer.
Chu Qinbai appeared.
Everyone knew him.
The security guard saw him talking to Zhou Sheng and said, "Brother Chu, do you know this gentleman?"
"Yeah." Chu Qinbai responded, frowned and said, "Don't let anyone in."
The security guard immediately understood the subtext of the words.
He called the other security guards together and said to the other three people: "Excuse me, we may need to check your identities carefully. Please come this way."
Yao Zhongxian saw that there were more people around him. He
simply gave up resistance and cooperated: "Of course."
Before leaving, he looked back at Zhou Sheng and then turned his attention to Chu Qinbai. He
smiled meaninglessly and said: "Mr. Chu, I haven't seen Mr. Chu for many years. I will visit him another day."
Chu Qinbai looked at him expressionlessly and said nothing.
Zhou Sheng had no idea that this Yao also knew Chu Jianxiong.
And he could obviously feel that what Yao Zhongxian said was very likely not as simple as it seemed.
Zhou Sheng took a step forward in the direction where the security guards were taking people away, but was pulled back by Chu Qinbai. Chu Qinbai
looked at him: "Mr. Zhou, where are you going?" Zhou Sheng
looked into his eyes and didn't know what to say.
Chu Qinbai held the man, looked at his wet shoulders, and asked him: "Did you get caught in the rain just now?"
"No." Zhou Sheng shook his head, "Just a little bit."
At this time, the person who was traveling with Chu Qinbai called out from behind, "Brother Chu, is this your friend? Since we know each other, let's go have dinner together."
Zhou Sheng glanced behind him, and they were all strangers. He
nodded as a greeting.
Zhou Sheng guessed that he was busy, so he retracted his gaze and looked at him and said, "Did you make an appointment to discuss something?"
"Yeah." Chu Qinbai looked at him, "Have you had dinner?"
Zhou Sheng heard the meaning of the invitation.
To be honest, "I have a business party tonight."
Chu Qinbai reached out and patted the rain on his shoulder, looked at him, and commented in a tone that was neither light nor heavy, "It's only two days, and you're so busy that you look so bad."
Tang Mi didn't dare to say a word at the side, but when she heard this, she quickly interrupted, "Mr. Zhou has a headache."
Chu Qinbai's eyebrows frowned immediately.
Reaching out to touch his forehead, he said, "Headache?"
After confirming that he didn't have a fever, he lifted his hair and noticed the place where he had removed the medicine patch.
Just a little below the hairline, the redness and swelling had subsided, and a layer of scab had formed, which was not obvious.
Asked him: "Did you bump into him again that day?"
Zhou Sheng felt the warmth of his palm against his forehead and forgot to react for a moment. Hearing this, he took his hand and said, "It has nothing to do with this. It's just that it has been raining for the past two days, and I may not be able to adapt to it."
Beijing in late autumn, especially when it rains, seems particularly cold.
It may also be because of the wind.
Chu Qinbai raised his hand to check the time. Zhou
Sheng noticed his intention and gestured behind him to stop him: "I have to make a summary and then leave. Don't leave him there."
Chu Qinbai glanced at him.
In the end, he simply gave Tang Mi his private phone number and instructed: "Since he has taken the medicine, watch him sleep for at least half an hour. If he has a fever, notify me in time. Sorry for the trouble." "
No, no trouble." Tang Mi said hurriedly.
Because they were in a public place, the two did not say much and separated.
Tang Mi looked at the number in the phone, and then looked at Zhou Sheng who was walking beside her with a normal face.
I thought that those who shouted for divorce would be disappointed.
If it was really a marriage of convenience, they wouldn't have come to pick up Mr. Zhou so late at night. Although they don't seem very intimate in public now, Mr. Zhou is such a distant person, but he forgot to hide when someone touched his forehead.
Tang Mi saved the number.
She followed him and asked quietly: "Mr. Zhou, is the meeting still open?"
Zhou Sheng stood at the elevator entrance and was surprised: "Why not?"
Tang Mi: "That's it, that brother Chu just asked you to sleep for at least half an hour."
Zhou Sheng paused.
Then he said: "He can't see it, so he won't know."
Tang Mi was speechless instantly.
She thought, this is not the point at all...
â 68. Chapter 66
Chapter 66
The party started at 8 o'clock. Zhou Sheng showed up as scheduled, changed his clothes, and had his hair done.
The only difference was that the secretary beside him was replaced.
"Mr. Zhou." The young man had been standing beside him. When he blocked a toast for him, he began to convey the leader's opinion and said, "I didn't know you would encounter such trouble before. It was our inconsiderateness."
Zhou Sheng held the wine glass in his hand and smiled, "I brought the team here to learn this time. Besides, in a place like a hotel, as long as you stay legally, no one can do anything."
"We will notify everyone as soon as possible about the handling of Xin Yuan."
"It seems that Mr. Yao didn't get through the relationship in your Tu Bureau when he came to Beijing this time." Zhou Sheng raised his glass to gesture to the person who greeted him on the other side, and said, "I was wondering why he was so anxious to find me." "
Mr. Zhou, you're joking." The other person followed him, "Yao Zhongxian's uncle does have some friendship with our Tu Bureau, but personal relationships are personal relationships, and business is business. The higher-ups are keeping a close eye on the Lancheng project, and we're under a lot of pressure. All aspects must cooperate as they should, so that the work can be carried out smoothly."
Zhou Sheng turned around and clinked glasses with the other person.
"Then please tell Director Tu that I'll remember this favor."
"Mr. Zhou, you're welcome."
Interpersonal relationships in the workplace are sometimes like this, with mutual restraint and mutual benefit.
Except for people like Yao Zhongxian who can't see the situation clearly, who would really treat Zhou Sheng as a young man who knows nothing and thinks that he can scare the other party with violence.
At this point, the other party swallowed a mouthful of wine and suddenly said: "Mr. Zhou, I heard that your hotel now has many first-line stars staying. It's also because we didn't coordinate well when booking, and only thought about the hotel environment and reputation. Do you want to consider changing to another one?"
"No need." Zhou Sheng said: "It's almost the same wherever we stay. Besides, we will return tomorrow."
"Then we will bother Mr. Zhou next time we go to Lancheng."
"Sure."
The rain had not stopped when the party ended.
The rain splashed in front of the door, breaking the scenery reflected in the puddle under the stone steps.
Many cars were parked directly outside. The drivers or assistants holding umbrellas were in a hurry in the rain. Zhou Sheng came out late, and the person accompanying him stood beside him, pointed to the front and said, "The arranged car is over there, I'll take you there."
"Excuse me," Zhou Sheng said.
"No trouble, no trouble." The other party opened his umbrella, "Let's go."
At this moment, Zhou Sheng's mobile phone rang.
He picked it up and saw a message -
on the right.
Zhou Sheng looked to the right reflexively. The car was parked in a dark place. In the slowly sliding dim rear window, a half-silhouette of a person was half-illuminated by the blue light of the mobile phone screen. The car was in an inconspicuous position, but the person was still conspicuous. The
person next to him asked, "Mr. Zhou?"
"Well, I won't bother arranging a car." Zhou Sheng retracted his gaze and said, "There are people I know here, I can go back to the hotel by myself." The
person next to him looked over and didn't notice which car he was talking about.
He said, "No umbrella, I'll take you to the door."
Zhou Sheng didn't refuse.
They went over together.
They walked to a black Rolls-Royce Phantom.
The man holding an umbrella thought that although the people at the party were not ordinary people, most of them were relatively low-key. He didn't expect that Mr. Zhou's car was so unusual.
Seeing someone in the open car window, he lowered his head and wanted to say a few words first.
As a result, when he met the eyes of the person inside, the person accompanying him froze instantly.
If he had seen it right just now.
That was... Chu Qinbai, right?
The man leaned against the back of the chair and glanced at him lightly, which made people feel very distant.
Zhou Sheng didn't notice the reaction of the person next to him. At this time, the driver had already got out of the car, came around to open the door and said, "Mr. Zhou, get in the car quickly."
"Sorry for the trouble." Zhou Sheng greeted the person and got in the car.
The man holding an umbrella was still wondering if he had seen it wrong just now until he saw the car drive away.
Especially just now.
He noticed that when Zhou Sheng sat on it, it seemed that someone pulled him, and it looked like he fell into another person's arms.
Mr. Zhou came to Beijing this time.
Although the itinerary has been low-key, many people have noticed him.
It is hard to imagine how such a person would have an intersection with the famous actor in the entertainment industry?
And the relationship seems to be extraordinary.
Thinking about it again, didn't this movie star just announce that he is married?
It is said that the person he married is terrible. I thought, after all, he is rich and famous, but he found a mediocre marriage. He is not bad in any way when he meets people outside. How can his vision be bad? This is very good.
Zhou Sheng didn't know what others were thinking.
A gust of cold wind blew, and he was wet with rain all over his body. When he got on the car, he was pulled and bumped. When his shoulder hit Chu Qinbai's chest, he could feel the temperature of his body through his clothes.
Chu Qinbai changed into the clothes he wore in the afternoon, and there was a refreshing and dry smell on his body.
Zhou Sheng supported him with his hands and raised his eyes: "What are you doing?"
"What do you think?" Chu Qinbai held his hands and lowered his eyes: "Mr. Zhou, I can't know if I can't see? Your idea is quite strange."
Zhou Sheng paused: "...Did you force Tang Mi to ask?"
"Is there any need to force this." Chu Qinbai pulled the corner of his mouth and asked him back: "Doesn't your head hurt?"
In fact, it still hurt.
And he could vaguely feel that his throat was also starting to feel uncomfortable.
Zhou Sheng thought about going back to the hotel to take medicine again, so he changed the subject and asked him, "What's the matter with Yao Zhongxian saying he was going to visit the Chu family this afternoon?"
Chu Qinbai saw that he didn't answer directly, and glared at him, "Want to know?"
Zhou Sheng nodded, but he didn't hide his concern.
The space in the car was not large, which blocked the cold rain in Beijing. The windows were closed, which also blocked all sounds.
In the afternoon at the hotel, there were people around him and things to do, so Zhou Sheng didn't have time to think too much.
Now sitting together, the presence of both parties began to be hard to ignore.
When Zhou Sheng sat upright, his knees accidentally touched the person next to him. Such small details, Zhou Sheng not only felt that he would pay attention to it, but Chu Qinbai also obviously lowered his eyes to take a look.
But no one moved.
They clearly hugged, kissed when drunk, and kissed when sober.
Instead, it was after Zhou Sheng said to give it a try.
Zhou Sheng felt that Chu Qinbai had restrained himself a lot. He was indifferent when they met in the afternoon. Except for giving him a hand when he just got in the car, he also sat very seriously.
His emotions were no longer turbulent, and his words were no longer pressing.
The two seemed to have a tacit understanding, keeping a safe distance like a critical point.
Chu Qinbai replied, "About twenty years ago, Shengyu encountered a major crisis. At that time, the person Chu Jianxiong was most in contact with was Yao Zhongxian's eldest brother."
"Brother?" Zhou Sheng frowned and looked over. "Why haven't I heard that there is an important person named Yao in Xinyuan?"
"He died a long time ago." Chu Qinbai said without any emotion: "In the third year that Chu Jianxiong knew him, he was shot for breaking the law and sentenced to death. The heyday of Xinyuan was when he was in the hands of this person. Now Yao Zhongxian is not as good as him in terms of means."
Zhou Sheng was secretly shocked. He only knew that Xinyuan was whitewashing black.
What kind of means and high-voltage wires would be sentenced to death.
And such a person has close contacts with Chu Jianxiong.
Zhou Sheng thought of his two experiences of going to Chu's house. .
Frowning: "Your father..."
"What do you want to say?" Chu Qinbai put his hand on the back of the chair behind him, hooked his collar intentionally or unintentionally, stared into his eyes and said: "He won't be stupid enough to send himself to prison. In any case, Chu Jianxiong is old now, but Yao Zhongxian is still alive, and there will be many Yao Zhongxians in Lancheng. Zhou Sheng, I mentioned this to you because I want to say that absolute ideals do not exist. At any time, don't let yourself suffer losses."
Zhou Sheng looked back, "I eat everything, but I don't know how to suffer losses."
Zhou Sheng knew why he reminded him of this.
But Zhou Sheng didn't tell him that the surname Yao was really nothing to him.
Shooting, death penalty, etc., Zhou Sheng, who has seen the tragic battle scene, naturally would not be scared by such things.
Chu Qinbai thought he was idealistic.
In fact, it was just the opposite. The end of idealization means indifference, rationality, and sobriety.
The only time his behavior was influenced by emotions was that day.
While Zhou Sheng looked over, Chu Qinbai also looked back.
Zhou Sheng saw that he didn't want to talk about those things more than 20 years ago, so he didn't ask for details.
He slept for a while.
I guarantee it was less than ten minutes.
But when he was about to get off the car, his voice was obviously not as good as before he got on the car, with dryness and hoarseness.
After Chu Qinbai asked him what medicine he took in the afternoon, he tapped his knees with his fingers and asked the driver to take a detour to buy some other medicines. At this time, they still seemed like friends with a sense of propriety.
Or on the boundary of friendship, they cared a little more.
It was almost eleven o'clock when they returned to the hotel.
His room and Chu Qinbai's room were not on the same floor, and the two of them went back to their own rooms without discussing.
Zhou Sheng opened the door, looked at the dark room, and stood at the door for a few seconds.
Then he turned on the light as usual, walked in, took off his coat and threw it on the sofa. He went to the bathroom and filled a tub with hot water, turned up the temperature a little, and then stripped naked and soaked himself in it. He didn't
get dizzy until he dried himself, put on his pajamas and walked out of the bathroom. He
was too tired these two days, so he wrapped himself in the quilt and fell asleep quickly while he was comfortable.
As a result, he felt cold in the middle of the night.
The kind of cold hands and feet made his teeth chatter.
Zhou Sheng was in a trance and returned to a winter night one year.
The alley where he rented a house was blasted with car sounds and gunshots in the middle of the night. After waking up, he hurriedly put on his clothes and went out to check the situation.
He stepped into the stone road where the snow had melted, and the biting cold water instantly wet his shoes and socks.
An old professor next door was pushed out of the iron gate.
His forehead was injured and blood was all over his head and face.
Behind him, his wife and daughter cried hurriedly and heartbreakingly.
The old professor shook his head sadly: "The country is about to perish, what is a demon, what is a thief!" After
seeing so many things like that, Zhou Sheng was calm instead.
He just remembered that he gave his coat to the old man. The crowd watching the excitement around him gradually dispersed. The wind stung his skin a little, and the cold seemed to penetrate from the soles of his feet to the joints of his bones.
This short dream was interrupted by a vibration.
Zhou Sheng soon realized that he was dreaming. He seemed to have not dreamed about the past for some days. He
vaguely touched the mobile phone on the bedside.
"Hello." He felt his throat was as unpleasant as a broken gong when he spoke.
There was a pause on the other side, and the voice seemed unreal in the night, and asked him: "Have you taken the medicine?" "
Take the medicine?" Zhou Sheng buried himself in the quilt, closed his eyes, and tried to recall, "I took it."
Zhou Sheng's consciousness gradually awakened, and then he realized that it was Chu Qinbai's call. He took down his phone to check the time, and was blinded by the layer of fog on the screen.
Only then did he realize that he was sweating all over.
Chu Qinbai's voice sounded real now, even calm and sober. It is very likely that he didn't sleep at all. Soon he said: "Open the door."
Zhou Sheng realized that he was not just talking on the phone, he was outside the door.
Zhou Sheng lay on his back. He
tried to open his eyes as much as possible, put his arm on his forehead, and found that he felt cold, but the temperature was very high. The temperature of the forehead and the temperature of the palm seemed to be two extremes.
Then he sat up in the dark. He
looked at the door.
He took it back and looked at the phone again. Seeing that the call was still connected, he was sure that he was not hallucinating.
He lifted the quilt, got out of bed to find his shoes, and only felt his legs go weak when he stepped on the floor. He held the bed and turned on the bedside lamp.
Then he took his phone to open the door.
"You..." Zhou Sheng just opened the door and only had time to see the figure at the door. The next second, the door was pushed open from the outside, and a tall figure squeezed in sideways.
Chu Qinbai closed the door with his left hand and looked at him for a few seconds.
The back of his right hand touched his neck.
He frowned and looked at him, meaning something unclear, "Sometimes I admire myself."
Zhou Sheng supported his forehead and listened confusedly. He asked in a breath: "What are you talking about?"
Chu Qinbai: "Besides, your throat is broken, don't talk for now."
Chu Qinbai took the man back to the bed and sat him down. He took the bag of medicine that he had thrown on the bedside before going to bed and didn't open it at all. He glanced at the person who just said confusedly that he seemed to have taken it, and his low pressure increased by two points.
Read the instructions, pour water, and peel the medicine.
Zhou Sheng supported his hands on his side and looked at the person walking around in his room.
"Chu Qinbai." He called someone.
The person he called was hanging water, looking down at him, "What's wrong?"
Zhou Sheng raised his eyes, "You haven't sent me any messages for two days."
Chu Qinbai didn't say anything.
Zhou Sheng had something to say now.
Although it was late at night, his mind was half clear.
He said: "I thought you..."
Chu Qinbai stared at him, "Thought what?"
"Thought you might not want to try with me."
Zhou Sheng didn't know why he said this. He didn't have this thought when he was sober. Maybe it was because he was in a hurry, and when he was busy, he accidentally saw the overwhelming news on the Internet. When he looked at his silent mobile phone, he would always be distracted for two seconds.
Maybe, from afternoon to evening, everything was too normal.
It was so normal that he felt it was right, and it seemed that something was wrong.
Zhou Sheng couldn't say it.
But Chu Qinbai understood.
Because he understood, he laughed out of anger.
He walked over slowly, stood in front of Zhou Sheng, handed him some water and said, "Qi Wuzhen, you tell me what to do. I'm still wondering if it was the Buddha in the temple you worship who showed up and made you dizzy. When I saw you, I was also thinking, two days is enough time for you to calm down, right?"
Zhou Sheng looked up, his eyes were red from the high fever, and his eyes were blurry. "I'm very calm."
"Yeah." Chu Qinbai sneered, "You calmly gave yourself a high fever, and asked your secretary to lie and say that you took medicine. It turns out that you have been given too much time to succeed."
Chapter 67
Chu Qinbai finished scolding the person. He couldn't help but feel soft-hearted when he saw the person in front of him opening his mouth, wanting to say something but unable to defend himself.
Zhou Sheng, who was always calm in front of others, would not even hide his feelings when he was sick and sitting at the end of the bed. He would tell him directly that you hadn't called me for two days.
When he said this,
it showed that he cared.
It was as if Chu Qinbai was the one who committed the heinous crime.
Worry prevailed after all.
Chu Qinbai gave up and handed over the medicine. "Take the medicine first."
Zhou Sheng stretched out his hand. He sweated too much, and the capsules and tablets stuck to his palm. It seemed that he could taste an unprecedented bitterness when he put them into his mouth. He had always taken medicine like eating, but for the first time, he frowned because of the bitterness.
"Now you know it tastes bad?" Chu Qinbai took the water cup back. Zhou Sheng
drank the water, and his throat felt better. His voice was clearer than before. He said slowly, "It always tastes bad."
He always takes medicine. He
has been taking it since the day he woke up.
At first, I took handfuls of medicine, but later I gradually reduced the dosage. Some time ago, I met Chu Qinbai's second brother-in-law and started taking conditioning medicine again.
How can medicine taste good?
It is not easy to be alive. It is precisely because of the good medical conditions that we can survive. Taking some medicine seems to be less unbearable.
The difference lies in whether someone cares what medicine you take, how much you take, whether it is too bitter to swallow, or whether you really don't care about taking medicine as food. If people care, people will be soft-hearted and easily let down their guard to show their true self. The
real Zhou Sheng hates taking medicine.
The side effects of a large amount of Western medicine will make him vomit and sweat uncontrollably.
Loss of appetite and physical fatigue.
Zhou Sheng has always known that his health is not good, and he has been very careful. It's not that he doesn't take the medicine before going to bed, but he really forgets. But I don't know if his body has developed drug resistance, so cold medicine doesn't have much effect on him.
Chu Qinbai didn't leave. Half an hour after taking the medicine, he watched his fever drop from 38 to 37, and then quickly rose in a very short time, approaching 40, which was no less severe than the time he had a high fever in Linshun County.
Seeing him curled up in the quilt, his lips were pale, and his hair was wet, Chu Qinbai simply gave up the idea of ââsending him to the hospital, and called directly to ask the doctor to come to his home.
It was already 3:30 when he was hung up.
After learning about Zhou Sheng's condition, the doctor stood up and said, "It's a cold. Now is the season of change. Many people will get a fever if they are not careful. Your condition is worse. Your immunity is not good. If the fever does not go down, it may induce some other diseases. So once you feel unwell, you must pay attention."
Zhou Sheng sat on the bedside, "Thank you, doctor."
"It should be." The doctor smiled and packed his medicine box. He pointed at Chu Qinbai who was standing by the bed and said jokingly, "Fortunately, my medicine is fast-acting and the temperature has not continued to rise. Otherwise, I don't know how dark Chu's face would be."
Zhou Sheng was a little embarrassed and glanced at Chu Qinbai.
Chu Qinbai looked at the time and said to the doctor, "I'll find someone to take you down."
"No, no, you take care of him."
The doctor refused and continued, "As long as the temperature drops, it won't be a big problem. Have a good rest. After the drip, you can remove the needle."
Chu Qinbai still sent him to the door.
Walking back again, Zhou Sheng still maintained a sitting posture.
"Would you like to sleep for a while?" Zhou Sheng looked at him and said, "It's late now. Don't you have work tomorrow?"
Chu Qinbai deliberately asked, "Where are you going to sleep?"
"Here." Zhou Sheng patted the place beside him, and then he became a little worried, "The cold is contagious, why don't you go back?"
Chu Qinbai glanced at him and said nothing.
He waited until Zhou Sheng finished hanging the water and made sure that the temperature had dropped and did not rise again, then he went to the bathroom to wring out the towel.
He was still wearing the clothes he wore when he went to pick him up. He came over and sat on the edge of the bed, "Come here, I'll wipe you and change into pajamas."
"I'll do it myself." Zhou Sheng reached out to take it.
Chu Qinbai raised his hand to avoid it, and with his other hand, he took Zhou Sheng's waist and brought him directly to his chest.
Zhou Sheng lost the opportunity to take it, and his face was pressed against Chu Qinbai's shoulder. He realized that he was wet and sweating, and wanted to push away from the person, but was pushed back again.
This time Chu Qinbai used force, dissatisfied: "Don't move."
Zhou Sheng's chin hit his shoulder, silent for two seconds, relaxed, and simply gave up resistance.
The weakness after the fever subsided made him give most of his strength to Chu Qinbai after relaxing. He could feel his hands around him, lifting his pajamas from behind, and reaching in with a handkerchief to wipe it a little bit.
All the symptoms of discomfort have subsided because of the effect of the medicine.
The faint scent on Chu Qinbai's body is a bit pleasant. He moved very lightly, and the temperature between the quilt and Chu Qinbai was also suitable. Zhou Sheng hit his shoulder and fell asleep little by little.
He was vague and relaxed and said: "I said you can take care of people before, and that's right."
"Are you sleepy?" Chu Qinbai turned his face slightly and asked Zhou Sheng by his hair. Zhou
Sheng hummed, "A little bit."
Until Chu Qinbai wiped his waist, Zhou Sheng curled up.
"Itchy." The voice was inexplicably hoarse than his throat due to a cold.
Chu Qinbai's warm hand, which was originally lifting the hem of his clothes, reached in and touched his waist, which was less than half a palm thick, and felt the smoothness and softness of his hand.
The two of them froze at the same time.
Zhou Sheng, who had been knocking on his shoulder, turned sideways and faced his neck, breaking the atmosphere and reminding him: "It's almost done, my pajamas are in the box."
Chu Qinbai didn't say anything, tidied it for him, and got up to get clothes.
When the two of them finished tidying up and lay down again, Chu Qinbai deliberately left a dim light on the bedside and told him: "It's still early, sleep for a while, wake me up if you feel uncomfortable at night."
"Okay." Zhou Sheng responded.
The two lay side by side.
Zhou Sheng closed his eyes for a while, but didn't fall asleep, so he opened his eyes and looked sideways.
Thinking of the night when he went to visit the grave, he also claimed to be a person who had gone through two lives, and refused to step into the Qin family's house like a very mature person who had experienced a lot.
Now think about it, Chu Qinbai seemed tough, but he backed down at the critical moment. He considered much more than himself in every step.
If the return trip that day went smoothly.
I wonder what they would be like now.
Zhou Sheng thought more and it seemed that he couldn't sleep even more.
In the end, he simply turned sideways and looked at the profile of the person next to him.
Chu Qinbai's breathing was steady and he looked like he was asleep. Zhou Sheng stared at him for a while, but he didn't think he was asleep. Instead, he moved closer to him and whispered, "Brother Chu."
"What are you looking at?" He was not asleep, but he didn't open his eyes either.
Zhou Sheng put his hand under his face and said, "There is a small black mole on your earlobe."
"Well, so what?"
Zhou Sheng: "There is a mole on the auricle, which is said to be a sign of great wealth and honor, good fortune and luck, and everything will go well for you in the future."
Chu Qinbai finally opened his eyes and looked over.
He raised his head and moved it a little, and asked him sleepily: "Do you still believe this?"
"I saw it in a book." Zhou Sheng said as he lay back on his back.
Chu Qinbai laughed arrogantly: "I am quite rich and honorable."
"You are easy to attract hatred like this." Zhou Sheng complained.
It seems that there is nothing more to say here.
Maybe the environment is too comfortable, and the work has come to an end. The whole person is relaxed, and everything in front of him is what has happened since he met Chu Qinbai. Zhou Sheng finally asked him, "Tell me, if I hadn't said to try it at that time, would we not be lying together like this now?"
There would be no more encounters in Beijing.
And he would not pick him up late at night after talking about things.
Chu Qinbai sounded more serious, "What? Do you really regret it?" Zhou
Sheng looked at him, "Do you want to hear the truth?"
"Nonsense."
"A little fortunate."
Chu Qinbai looked over suddenly.
Zhou Sheng thought about it and said to him, "It's true."
Sometimes, when people step out of the fixed thinking framework, what they see will become very different.
Just like he originally thought that they were suitable for each other's world and should not have any intersection. When this idea was broken actively and passively, he regarded himself as the one who could take another step forward. When facing Chu Qinbai again, the surprise when seeing him would be accompanied by unexpected surprise. On the nights when I was sick, I felt that this person was by my side, not only sighing that he would take care of people, but also feeling that it turned out that this feeling was not bad. If I hadn't moved forward at that time, I wouldn't have such frankness at this moment.
Chu Qinbai suddenly propped himself up and sat up, leaning against the head of the bed.
Zhou Sheng raised his eyes, "What are you doing?"
Chu Qinbai turned his head and looked down, "I'm calm down."
"What's there to be calm about?" Zhou Sheng wanted to turn over and sleep.
Then he was turned over, Chu Qinbai: "You are not allowed to sleep."
Zhou Sheng: "I'm sleepy."
"Why didn't you say you were sleepy just now?" Chu Qinbai half bent down, supported himself on top of Zhou Sheng, and said: "I thought you wanted to draw a line between us again late at night, but you said you were a little lucky?"
Zhou Sheng sensed the oppression he was looming over and did not escape, "Yes, is there a problem?"
"The problem is that there is no problem." Chu Qinbai's hand slowly twisted his left earlobe and whispered: "And there is no if in this world. Even if you didn't agree, do you think you could get away?"
Zhou Sheng opened his eyes wide, "I am free, don't bluff me."
"You're talking to me about freedom now." Chu Qinbai sneered and continued to whisper, "Zhou Sheng, you don't think that when you say try it, you mean just lying together like you said just now, right?"
Zhou Sheng also realized the meaning of his words.
He pulled the quilt upwards, "I have a cold."
"Do you think I don't know that you have a cold?" Chu Qinbai stopped someone's action and kindly explained for the last time, "I told you to sleep but you didn't, and you insisted on talking to me about what ifs, then don't sleep for now."
When he invaded, Zhou Sheng closed his eyes reflexively.
The suffocation like drowning came over him.
His lips and tongue were lost, and the root of his tongue was sucked numb.
When Zhou Sheng's consciousness was scattered, he heard his hoarse voice in his ear, "The temperature in your mouth is so high."
Zhou Sheng's whole body suddenly became hot because of this sentence.
"Chu Qinbai." He was embarrassed and angry and half-rejected, "That's because I'm not well yet."
Chu Qinbai brought the man back, bent down and lowered his head, and whispered, "Really? Then check again."
Chapter 68:
The mouth was traced and rolled over inch by inch, bringing out of control temperature. Zhou Sheng heard a heavy sound, and couldn't tell whether it was his or Chu Qinbai's. It was not as hazy as the time when he was drunk, nor was it as emotional as the time when he was chased by a car.
This was a very straightforward desire.
Undisguised, with pure male aggression and sense of conquest.
When Zhou Sheng couldn't bear it and turned his head away, he was kissed on the neck. He vaguely saw Chu Qinbai's arm supporting his face, with blue veins and clear muscle lines, especially when he was pinched by the chin and pulled back, Zhou Sheng raised his eyes and felt the passion between men for the first time. It was no less exciting than his shallow understanding of men and women. It
was even more exaggerated and explicit.
It was not as panicked as seeing the unbearable scene behind the curtain of the stage. He indulged in Chu Qinbai's invasion and completely let it go.
In the end, if Chu Qinbai hadn't stopped in time.
Zhou Sheng didn't know how this absurdity would turn out.
At that time, his clothes were half open, and his neck and chest were mottled in the dim light. Chu Qinbai took a look, cursed, pulled the quilt to wrap him up, turned over and went to the bathroom.
Listening to the sound of water splashing in the bathroom soon.
Zhou Sheng emptied his mind, smiled at last, and fell asleep with the rustling rain outside the window, unable to wait for Chu Qinbai to come out.
When Chu Qinbai came out, he looked at the person with his face buried in the quilt for a long time. The
sleeping Zhou Sheng looked very different from his usual appearance.
His hair was soft, his eyelashes were thick and long, and he didn't look as calm as when he was called Mr. Zhou or Mr. Zhou. With a slightly red face, he looked a bit childish.
Chu Qinbai waited until the coldness on his body dissipated before he went up and rolled the person and the quilt into his arms.
Even so, the sleeping person didn't show any signs of waking up.
Zhou Sheng slept soundly all night.
When he woke up, he found that the person who was resting his arm on him had already woken up and was half leaning on his phone.
Zhou Sheng was in a daze for a few seconds before he remembered that he had a high fever last night.
Chu Qinbai lowered his head: "Are you awake?"
He put down his phone and touched his forehead, "It's no big problem anymore, get up and eat something?"
"What time is it?" Zhou Sheng asked, his voice was still a little hoarse, and while speaking, he moved back and left Chu Qinbai's arm.
Chu Qinbai moved his numb shoulders, "Eleven o'clock."
"Eleven o'clock?" Zhou Sheng was startled, and while paying attention to his movements, he sat up and said: "I just told Zhu Qin and others yesterday that we will discuss the arrangements for the return trip at ten o'clock this morning."
Chu Qinbai pulled him back, "Someone knocked on the door this morning. Their flight is at two in the afternoon. I asked your secretary to move your ticket to the evening. Come with me."
Zhou Sheng: "..."
Zhou Sheng didn't speak for a while.
He just woke up and was not sober enough, and he was also thinking about the problem.
After two seconds, he asked him, "Did everyone see you?"
Chu Qinbai glanced at him, and remembered the surprised expressions of those people in his team who were standing at the door in the morning when they saw him. He kindly maintained the dignity of his boss in front of his subordinates, "No, only one person saw it."
Zhou Sheng said "oh".
He didn't really mind what his subordinates thought.
After all, everyone who could be brought out in the company already knew that he and Chu Qinbai were married. It was just that this was a business trip after all, and it would have a bad impact. Fortunately, the work was over, and it was not a big problem.
Zhou Sheng didn't know at all.
It was not as simple as Chu Qinbai said.
The people in the team recalled the scene in the morning, in the hotel restaurant, and attacked Tang Mi, the only person who knew about it.
"Tang Mi, you are so mean. If you had told me earlier that Mr. Zhou was not alone last night, would we be so embarrassed?"
Tang Mi poked the spaghetti on the plate with a fork and said indifferently, "I didn't go to the party last night, how could I know the situation? Besides, I have already told you that Chu Qinbai helped to solve the problem in the lobby. Who told you to run and knock on the door?"
The others died down in dismay.
The main reason was that no one remembered this.
Everyone habitually thought that Zhou Sheng was just one person.
Even if there were rumors that he and Chu Qinbai were married, they were only half-public. Zhou Sheng was still the Mr. Zhou in Zhou's company, orderly and able to arrange and handle everything. So much so that
when I knocked on the door and saw a big star standing in front of me, the shock and sobriety at that moment were unprecedented. Mr.
Zhou was indeed married.
The person who publicly admitted it in front of the reporters was Chu Qinbai, and the person he was married to was their Mr. Zhou.
And they were living in the same room now.
Such a fact was confirmed, especially when Chu Qinbai saw them, he was not surprised at all, just turned back to look into the dim room, and said in a low voice: "He hasn't woken up yet, he had a high fever last night."
The others could only be stunned.
Then they apologized: "Sorry, sorry, we bothered you."
"Is Mr. Zhou okay?"
"Don't worry, it's okay to go back at night, there is no urgent matter to deal with in the company."
After the exchange, they left one by one as if they were fleeing.
They came out of the restaurant after dinner. They
were still discussing this matter.
The exchange said: "We must be careful, and we must not disclose Mr. Zhou's private affairs."
"Yes, there are too many people in this hotel now, and we are afraid of trouble if someone hears it."
Several people were standing at the stairs waiting for the elevator, and they happened to meet another group of people.
Pushing clothes racks, carrying large and small bags, talking in a hurry, or talking on the phone.
After entering the elevator, a man who looked like a costume designer and was holding several clothing bags said on the phone, "Where are you? Hurry up, the award ceremony will start at 4 pm... Artists from Qiyang are not allowed, Brother Renchu ââis waiting here, find someone else." Then
he hung up.
Someone next to her, who was not sure if it was an assistant or something, asked, "Sister, what's wrong?"
"That new boy from Qiyang wants our team to go over there." The person on the phone showed an unhappy look on her face, and started to complain, "Some of the newcomers nowadays don't have much ability and have a lot of requirements. On the contrary, people of Brother Chu's status actually have the least trouble."
Assistant: "Brother Chu's team deliberately asked us not to go too early. I've never heard of him having a rule of not working early before. And it's set to twelve o'clock, and there are so many people queuing, the time is very tight." "
Twelve o'clock is twelve o'clock. As long as it's not related to work, don't ask about the private lives of the artists."
"I'm just gossiping." The assistant lowered his voice and said, "If Brother Chu brings people with him, we have to remind our people to keep their mouths shut. Saving trouble is one thing, but the organizers attach great importance to his attendance, and I heard that anyone who messes with his team will be in trouble."
Some things were not said explicitly, but those who should understand could understand.
No matter how big a star you are in the circle, whether you are married or single, there will always be chaos if the other party is affectionate and loyal or has some other weird personality.
The middle-aged male star has been selling the label of spoiling his wife for a lifetime, but he is secretly supporting a female college student. The actor who announced his relationship on Weibo last second, attended an event, but hid another girlfriend in the hotel. People in the circle have seen it many times, so they are not surprised.
Not to mention Chu Qinbai.
He rarely participates in activities and his private life has never been exposed.
The first time he announced that he was married, everyone on the Internet was shouting that he was divorced. It is not surprising for him to have anything happen. What's more, he should have been one of the people with the most priority to choose for this awards ceremony, but the time was adjusted to such a late time. It's no wonder that people have to be mentally prepared.
Facts have proved that this psychological preparation is really right.
The hotel suite they went to was not the one that was coordinated at the beginning. The bedroom was closed and there were voices talking. Obviously, another person lived there.
"Why did you call someone here?" Zhou Sheng was blocked in the room and couldn't get out, and whispered with some dissatisfaction.
Chu Qinbai circled the man in front of him, leaning against the wall, and lowered his eyes: "Who knew you would wake up at this time? I left early and was afraid that something might happen to you, so I sent someone to come directly."
Zhou Sheng pushed him away, holding his hands and confronting him: "Excuse, my fever has subsided, what can happen?"
Chu Qinbai's fingers twisted the obvious marks on the side of his neck due to excessive force last night, and said: "I want to wait for you to wake up, I don't want you to wake up without anyone around, okay?"
These words instantly softened Zhou Sheng's emotions.
Unable to bear this, he pushed him: "Go out quickly, everyone is waiting for you."
"Do you want to go out with me?" Chu Qinbai smiled and asked him deliberately. Zhou Sheng
rolled his eyes at him, "You are the organizer, right? Do you want to be on the news again?"
"It's legal, so you can't be on it?" Chu Qinbai whispered closer, "Or do you just like to be sneaky like this?"
It was obviously a normal thing, but he said it strangely.
Zhou Sheng could still remember how hungry he looked last night, and continued to push him, "Stop talking nonsense, you know it's not okay now, hurry up."
Zhou Sheng simply opened the door for him.
Push the man out.
Even if there was only one or two seconds in between, it was enough for Zhou Sheng to see clearly that there were many more people in the room than he thought. At least twice as many as the last morning in the apartment.
But they were all very quiet, and it was precisely because of the silence that Zhou Sheng was startled and immediately stepped back.
Chu Qinbai noticed his movements and smiled.
He went out and said to a group of people: "Let's start, please excuse me."
The night of the awards ceremony.
The scene was star-studded and extremely luxurious.
Zhou Sheng sat on the sofa in the room, watching the screen.
The host said: "Next, we are about to announce the Best Actor Award that everyone is looking forward to tonight. Let us applaud and invite the award presenter, who is also the winner of the Best Actor Award of our Feilan Award five years ago and three years ago! Brother Chu, Chu Qinbai! Come on stage and announce it for us."
The camera was now given to the person sitting in the audience.
He sat in the best viewing seat, and his perfect figure was wrapped in a black suit. He
clasped his hands on the side of his thighs, and his watch was a top luxury, and he looked very noble. He put down his legs and stood up after hearing the host's words, and walked onto the stage step by step.
The screen was full of screams.
"So handsome, no matter what kind of news he is in, every time he appears in the camera, I will fall for him again."
"Who wouldn't? After all, there are not many people who look like this and can act these days."
"He is the guest of honor, there will be no one paying attention to who the winner is today, then the organizer will really make a big fool of themselves."
At the same time, the post about Zhou Sheng in the forum was also talking about tonight's ceremony.
The content was similar.
Someone said: "So what if he got married, his career is still going well as usual."
"For so many years, he has been the top actor in the film industry, and his popularity is really unparalleled.
He is always the most talked about." At this time, a small account that had just been registered quietly said below: "There is actually no point in keeping this post. Chu Qinbai is not short of people around him. He only brought one person to this award ceremony. Let's disperse."
As soon as this was said, it became lively.
They all accused him of spreading rumors.
The new account continued: "Don't provoke me, I won't answer your questions."
"Just one sentence, the character is unknown, but it is an absolute masterpiece that can be seen at a glance. In addition, Chu really dotes on her."
Chapter 69
No matter what the news on the Internet said, everything went smoothly at the award ceremony.
There was a big screen shining brightly, countless cameras, a star-studded venue, and Chu Qinbai, who had excellent control over the scene and was no less impressive than the winners on the stage.
Zhou Sheng watched the whole thing.
He rarely saw Chu Qinbai like this. He had seen him on the set, and he had seen him being casual and lazy in private. This was the first time he saw him on the podium where everyone was paying attention. From this perspective, he had a different understanding of him.
Especially since the room was very quiet.
The contrast between the living worlds was particularly obvious.
The organizer gave him enough shots, from the time he stepped off the stage to the time he returned to his seat and picked up his phone.
The host was still smiling and said, "Brother Chu's award speech was particularly brief. He is indeed a frequent guest of our Feilan Awards. He stared at his phone after stepping off the stage. It seems that he has someone important to contact."
Chu Qinbai also obviously noticed that the camera was still facing him.
He looked up and waved as a greeting. Just like that, there was a lot of cheers and applause at the scene.
Zhou Sheng was surprised and raised his eyebrows.
Just then, he received a message on his phone.
It turned out to be a message from Chu Qinbai.
The screen had entered the next process. Zhou Sheng saw the message on his phone, "What are you doing? Are you not having a fever anymore?"
"No, I was watching the award ceremony." Zhou Sheng replied.
After a few seconds, "What did you see?"
"You."
There was no reply for a while, then: "If I had known, I should have stayed on the stage for a few more minutes."
"Then I guess the organizers will be very happy."
At the venue.
The next award began to be announced.
Yang Zhicheng, who had just won the Best Director award twenty minutes ago, was sitting next to him. He saw Chu Qinbai was supporting his knees with his elbows and sending messages.
After looking at him several times, he couldn't help but ask, "Who is it? You don't seem to be so enthusiastic even if you are in a relationship. You are chatting so enthusiastically."
Chu Qinbai sent the last message, 'It's over in half an hour, I'll pick you up', then put away his phone and looked up, "We are just in love, do you have any objection?"
"Talk...in love?" Yang Zhicheng glared, "What kind of relationship are you, a married man, talking about? I have Zhou Sheng's contact information, believe it or not, I will report you."
Chu Qinbai speechless: "There is something wrong."
Yang Zhicheng reacted then and realized, "Oh, you are talking to Zhou Sheng, right." Then he complained, "I was wondering, it's all your fault for talking nonsense in front of the media and admitting that you are married. The media said that, which made me think that you were really going to divorce Zhou Sheng, and now you have found a new love and hooked up with someone else."
Chu Qinbai had a blank expression, "Can you be more careful with your words?"
Yang Zhicheng was not polite, "You are not wrong. Find someone else, unless there is really something wrong with your eyes."
Thinking about the last time they met, it was at the film and television city.
Zhou Sheng, whom Yang Zhicheng had met, had a high level of education and was polite in dealing with people.
Thinking of this, Yang Zhicheng said to Chu Qinbai, "By the way, I remember Zhou Sheng said that he had read a notebook about the character information of Fan Zhongqing in "Floating Life Dream". We are in post-production now, and there are some details that I want to refer to again. You go back and ask him if it is possible to find that thing again."
"Notebook?" Chu Qinbai asked.
Yang Zhicheng nodded and leaned back in his chair, "Yes, such detailed information is really rare. Think about it, in addition to the details of the character's life, behavior and preferences. Those architectural styles and era memories, if you haven't deeply studied the information of that era, how can you do it to Zhou Sheng's level? He is at least half a fan of the Republic of China, right?"
Chu Qinbai frowned slightly.
Fan Zhongqing? Notebook?
When they took on that play, their relationship was very vague. Zhou Sheng happened to go to Fucheng to expand business and happened to encounter the flood, and then the role of Fan Zhongqing was presented.
At this moment, Chu Qinbai suddenly felt that he had missed a lot of details.
Like Yang Zhicheng, he did not bother to explore why he knew so much.
Now think about it, if there is no information on the Internet, where did he get the notes?
Yang Zhicheng was startled by his sudden serious look.
He said, "What's the situation? I asked you to ask for me. If you really can't find it, forget it. Your sudden expression made me think that I had made some outrageous demands."
"Director Yang." Chu Qinbai called him suddenly. He was
so serious that Yang Zhicheng couldn't help but be serious.
Chu Qinbai said, "How did the screenwriter of "Floating Life Dream" suddenly think of using this character?"
Yang Zhicheng breathed a sigh of relief and rolled his eyes at him.
Thinking that he didn't want to help, he said, "Give up, the screenwriter's information is not as complete as what I have. If I could find it, I wouldn't have asked Zhou Sheng to help me."
Chu Qinbai showed a thoughtful expression.
Yang Zhicheng was puzzled, "What's the situation with you?"
"Nothing." Chu Qinbai shook his head.
"Zhou Sheng" is not Zhou Sheng. Zhou Sheng had vaguely admitted this when he went to the tomb last time. He wanted to force him to retreat. The gap between the truth was deeply buried in Zhou Sheng's bones. Chu Qinbai didn't want to force him, and he guessed that Zhou Sheng would not say it.
Not mentioning this matter does not mean that it has not been stuck in his heart.
On the one hand, he thought that it might be Zhou Sheng's excuse for refusal, after all, it was ridiculous, and on the other hand, he couldn't help but imagine and guess.
He asked Fan Xuan to check his mother abroad, and found nothing about him.
And this Fan Zhongqing is the only possible clue that Chu Qinbai has come into contact with since the day of the tomb sweeping.
Assuming that the idea that "he is not him" is true.
Then who is Zhou Sheng? He showed his unfamiliarity with this world at the beginning, and he was curious about the novelty of electronic AI products. He called him Mr. Chu in a literary way. All kinds of details are suspicious now.
He knows this Fan Zhongqing so well, so who is Fan Zhongqing?
The chat record just now is still saved in the mobile phone.
Chu Qinbai suddenly hesitated again.
Zhou Sheng said to give it a try, whether it would be counterproductive to investigate at this time.
He stood up, "I'll make a phone call."
"What are you doing?" Yang Zhicheng stepped aside, muttering, "Can't you stand not seeing each other for such a long time? You are really a young man."
On Zhou Sheng's side.
When Chen Dengdeng came to pick him up, he said, "Mr. Zhou, Brother Chu was delayed by Director Yang, so let's go to the airport first, and he will come later."
"It's okay, then we'll go first."
It was agreed to be over in half an hour, and it was already an hour later, and we really couldn't wait any longer.
Zhou Sheng got in the car.
The rain in Beijing still didn't stop, but it wasn't heavy, just drizzling.
It was already evening, and the cars on the road had their lights on, and the wipers were scraping the front windshield.
The radio in the car was playing urban news.
It was a dispute over compensation for a failed plastic surgery. Zhou Sheng leaned back in his chair and listened indifferently. He had just recovered from a high fever and took some medicine before leaving, so he felt a little drowsy.
Half asleep and half awake, he had a very bizarre dream.
It was a private mansion where he had discussed donations with other merchants in Yucheng.
A boss who claimed to be surnamed Li, wearing a gorgeous dark gown and a black hat, suddenly pulled out a gun from his body when he was arguing with others.
Zhou Sheng looked towards the gate in the direction of the gun barrel.
The door opened in response, and Chu Qinbai, dressed in a suit, was standing there.
It was too late to speak, "bang!"
Zhou Sheng fell down and suddenly woke up.
Chen Dengdeng, who was sitting in the passenger seat, noticed it and turned around and said, "Mr. Zhou, are you okay?"
Zhou Sheng stood up from the car window, paused for two seconds, and shook his head: "Nothing."
The news of failed plastic surgery continued, proving that it took less than five minutes from the time he fell asleep to the time he woke up. Zhou Sheng rubbed his eyebrows and could still feel his rapid heartbeat just now.
Chen Dengdeng looked ahead and said, "It's still far from the airport, Mr. Zhou, you should sleep a little longer."
"The car is given to me, what about your boss?" Zhou Sheng asked.
Chen Dengdeng smiled and said, "Don't worry, the organizer has a car, it won't be delayed."
Zhou Sheng nodded and said nothing more.
At this time, Chen Dengdeng's mobile phone suddenly rang.
Zhou Sheng inexplicably felt that the ringtone was very urgent, which made people feel uncomfortable.
Sure enough, Chen Dengdeng just said hello, and the next second he shouted: "What did you say!"
"What happened?" Zhou Sheng asked.
Chen Dengdeng looked back, and her expression was about to cry, "Mr. Zhou, Brother Chu is in trouble."
The car turned around at the intersection ahead and sped towards the Central Hospital of Beijing.
Zhou Sheng in the car looked very calm, which made Chen Dengdeng calm down.
But his tone was still anxious, "Brother Chu can't be contacted now. People on the Internet say that he was attacked at the venue and sent to the hospital. The ambulance went to the scene, and no one saw what the situation was like."
Zhou Sheng looked down at the video circulated on the Internet.
The sound of the ambulance was very sharp, and the large number of staff and security guards at the exit of the venue in the evening were enough to make people terrified.
Chu Qinbai topped the entertainment news list after admitting that he was married two days ago, and once again made headlines.
#Chu Qinbai was attacked# The words were shocking.
The Internet was in chaos.
Chen Dengdeng's phone kept ringing, so she had to choose to turn it off.
Zhou Sheng put away the phone and said, "Don't panic, it's okay. I didn't see his photo, and I didn't see blood in the video. Don't worry."
Chen Dengdeng almost cried on the spot.
Zhou Sheng handed over his cell phone, "Call his agent, they are probably more panicked than you in Lancheng. Also, try to contact the scene, we'll go there now."
Zhou Sheng's calmness in the face of danger completely calmed Chen Dengdeng down. He
began to follow his instructions and arrange things one by one.
The car stopped in front of the gate of the City Central Hospital at 7:30 in the evening.
There were many people blocking the door.
Reporters and fans who came after hearing the news were all stopped outside by bodyguards.
Zhou Sheng had never seen such chaos with long guns and short guns.
But this was not the point at the moment.
Chen Dengdeng was allowed in only after he revealed his identity, while Zhou Sheng was stopped.
The bodyguard looked at the young man in a long black coat, standing calmly, and did not have a bad attitude like he treated the reporter. He just said, "If you are not a patient and do not have a work certificate, you cannot go in for the time being."
At this time, the bodyguard suddenly received a call, and looked at Zhou Sheng with a hesitant expression.
Then he stepped aside: "Mr. Zhou, please."
Chapter 70
Seeing that Zhou Sheng could go in, the people around him started to quarrel with the bodyguards.
"Who is this? Why can he go in?"
"That's right, why did you bodyguards stop us from going in?"
"Can you tell us what's going on with Brother Chu?"
The reaction was too big. The bodyguard next to him took a look at the person who went in and whispered to the person who just answered the phone, "Who is it? You just let him in like this?"
The bodyguard put away the phone, looking very secretive.
He whispered: "They said it was a family member, don't ask."
Family member?
The bodyguard who asked the question looked back again, only to see the man's steady back and steps.
In the corridor on the top floor of the hospital.
The person on the organizer's side looked at the man in front of him and said, "Mr. Zhou, I'm so sorry. It was the negligence of our venue security that caused this accident."
It was learned that the person in front of him was Brother Chu's married partner who could not be found on the Internet, and the other party's identity seemed unusual. The organizers didn't have time to be surprised by the difference between the photos circulated online and the real person. They started to feel nervous because of Zhou Sheng's silent and frowning temperament.
First, they took the initiative to admit their responsibility, and then said: "The police have intervened and are verifying his identity."
"How is his condition?" Zhou Sheng asked the most important question first.
The staff of the organizer was annoyed, and quickly said: "There is no danger to his life. Don't worry about it. The doctor is treating Brother Chu."
Zhou Sheng looked at a video in his hand.
This is the surveillance camera in the back field, which has not been exposed on the Internet.
In the video, facing the dim passage, you can see Chu Qinbai originally leaning against the wall as if he was making a phone call. Occasionally, there would be staff passing by and greeting him.
The incident happened two minutes later.
A man with a work badge and a peaked cap walked towards the passage from the other side.
He roughly knew the location of the surveillance camera and even pressed his hat down in the middle.
When he was about one meter away, Chu Qinbai just glanced at the person coming. Probably because of their eye contact, the man in the hat quickly pulled out a knife from the inner pocket of his jeans, and the cold light was particularly dazzling in the dim corner.
According to Chu Qinbai's skills, it was not difficult for him to dodge at this distance.
Zhou Sheng also saw that he did dodge the knife.
The bad thing was that a female staff member came over from the other side of the passage. Seeing this scene, she screamed on the spot. The attacker probably panicked and turned his head to target the female staff member.
Chu Qinbai took the opportunity to pull the person, exposing half of his body to the blade, and his upper arm was cut.
When he kicked the person out, the attacker was twisted by the two bodyguards who rushed over and pressed him to the ground.
The surveillance video was soon filled with people, screaming and shouting for an ambulance.
Zhou Sheng turned off the video and looked up at the closed door of the treatment room.
Chen Dengdeng was relieved to know that there was no danger to his life, and said to Zhou Sheng: "Mr. Zhou, I'll call Sister Fan back."
"Go." Zhou Sheng said.
Several staff members of the organizer who had been standing by were still standing there nervously. The person in charge of the other party said, "Mr. Zhou, we will bear all the medical expenses, and we will definitely investigate this matter to the end."
Zhou Sheng said, "There are indeed problems with the identity check of your people entering the venue, but no one would have expected such a thing to happen. Let's wait for the results of the police investigation."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou, for your understanding."
Brother Chu was attacked at their venue. No matter who the troublemaker was, the organizer had an unshirkable responsibility.
The news was spread online, and the person in charge was afraid that his team would complicate the matter.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Sheng came first.
This mysterious family member who had never heard of it before did not make any severe accusations, let alone argue about who was responsible.
He asked about the situation and watched what happened.
He leaned against the wall and waited for the result.
It was because of this that the organizer became more nervous.
Especially when Zhou Sheng was heard making a phone call in the middle of the process, seemingly looking for the director of the Beijing City Bureau, the organizer was even more scared. Several people looked at each other and felt that if this matter was not handled properly, they might be in big trouble.
Zhou Sheng had no idea that his current state was an invisible deterrent.
He thought he was normal and called someone to check the situation because he was worried that Chu Qinbai would be implicated by Yao Zhongxian's incident two days ago. He wanted to check if it was possible that it was caused by his own reasons.
He couldn't calm down.
Various possibilities were turning in his mind. He thought of the short dream in the car for a while, and then the image of the knife cutting Chu Qinbai's arm flashed through his mind. Knowing that his life was not in danger, he didn't even feel nervous, but he couldn't concentrate.
I don't know if it was a few minutes or half an hour.
The door of the room opened.
The staff rushed up and asked about the situation.
Zhou Sheng leaned against the wall without moving. He saw the doctor take off his mask and said, "Don't worry, it's not a big problem. The wound is a little deep and stitches are needed. But there is no damage to the nerves. As long as you rest well, there will be no impact."
While these people were still communicating with the doctor, Zhou Sheng got up and pushed the door open and went in. Seeing him go in, some people with good eyesight stopped others who wanted to go in.
Zhou Sheng entered the door.
He saw the person standing by the window.
Chu Qinbai took off his coat, and on the arm of his white shirt, there were cuts and bloodstains.
He didn't seem to care who came in, and was on the phone.
His voice was mixed with lowness and calmness, "Just treat it as a crazy fan, I know what's going on. Say hello to the police, don't report it, make a statement to appease them..."
Chu Qinbai's words ended when Zhou Sheng lifted up the cut on his arm.
He probably thought it was someone without eyes, and there was still a chill in his eyes when he looked at him.
The moment he saw the person clearly, he paused.
Zhou Sheng didn't pay much attention to his eyes, just glanced at his arm, and said, "It seems that you know who is having a problem with you?" Chu
Qinbai said to the phone, "Hang up."
He lowered his hand, turned around, and looked at the person who came.
He asked in a low voice: "When did you come?"
"Just now." Zhou Sheng looked up at him and said: "The attack was so serious, I thought you couldn't get up after lying down."
Chu Qinbai frowned, "Who told you that? It wasn't that serious. The organizer ordered the news to be blocked because they were afraid that the matter would get bigger."
Zhou Sheng looked at Chu Qinbai's eyebrows.
He said: "Don't you know that the four words 'unclear situation' are the most frightening?"
"Then you were scared?" Chu Qinbai asked him with his head down.
Zhou Sheng shook his head: "No. It was your assistant who was almost scared to tears."
He denied it quickly.
But at this moment, Zhou Sheng put down the hand that was lifting his sleeve and realized that it was not. Was
he nervous when he heard the news and on the way here?
He should be nervous.
It was his habit of dealing with things and his experience in dealing with various situations that made him look so calm.
Before entering the ward, Zhou Sheng almost deceived himself.
He thought he was really calm, just a little uncomfortable.
Until he saw someone standing in front of him.
He heard him ask, are you scared?
Zhou Sheng turned his head to avoid his sight, and the expression on his face was three points colder than before.
Chu Qinbai looked for a while and smiled instead.
At this time, the door was gently opened again.
The people outside saw the people inside standing opposite each other, one with an indifferent expression did not look like a visitor, and the person in trouble was smiling with his hands in his pockets.
The staff walked in.
"Brother Chu, are you okay?"
"There are still reporters and fans downstairs now. The doctor said it's best to stay in the hospital tonight and be discharged tomorrow."
Chu Qinbai nodded and responded a few words.
Zhou Sheng stood by and said nothing.
His appearance, as well as the attitude of Chen Dengdeng and others towards him, made the people on the organizer's side unconsciously regard him as the one in charge. The staff didn't want to disturb Chu Qinbai too much, and when they turned to Zhou Sheng, their attitude was very respectful.
"Our leader will contact you for the follow-up of this matter." He handed over a business card.
Then he said, "Mr. Zhou, since Brother Chu has nothing to do, we won't disturb him. We'll leave first."
Zhou Sheng took it, looked at it, and nodded.
"Goodbye."
"Dengdeng, go and see him off."
The others dispersed quickly after saying hello, and there were no doctors or staff in the ward, and it was completely quiet.
Chu Qinbai walked over and sat down on a chair.
He said to Zhou Sheng, who was still standing by the window, "Come here."
Zhou Sheng didn't move.
Chu Qinbai repeated, "Come here."
Zhou Sheng looked at him for a while, then walked over.
Standing in front of him, "What are you doing?"
"Sit down." Chu Qinbai pointed to the stool next to him and instructed.
Zhou Sheng didn't know what he was going to do, paused for two seconds, and sat down.
It was a sliding chair. As soon as Zhou Sheng sat down, Chu Qinbai hooked his long legs and moved him and the chair in front of him, sandwiching them between his legs.
Zhou Sheng leaned back slightly because he didn't pay attention.
A little annoyed, "The knife didn't cut your feet, right?"
"Boss Zhou." Chu Qinbai supported the armrests with his elbows, leaned forward slightly, looked into Zhou Sheng's eyes and said with a smile: "Did you notice that everyone was afraid of you just now?"
Zhou Sheng was stunned.
He didn't expect him to say this at all.
And afraid of him?
In Zhou Sheng's two lifetimes, no one has ever said that he is scary.
When he took over the family business, he was Boss Zhou. During the years in the dark, people have no specific identity. Switching between various roles, the most important thing is to weaken their own characteristics and not give people a prominent impression, let alone aggressiveness.
Now he is the president of Zhou Corporation.
He still understands the situation of his subordinates. There are not many people who say they are afraid of him.
Chu Qinbai looked at his stunned expression and stroked his chin with his fingers.
He spoke slowly: "You really should go look in the mirror. On this journey, everyone who sees this face would think that it's not easy to mess with. Are you really not scared? Or are you angry?"
"Why should I be angry?" Zhou Sheng denied.
Chu Qinbai straightened up: "Yeah, why should I be angry?"
The next second, he stretched out his hand, put his arm around Zhou Sheng's waist and put him on his lap, sitting opposite him.
Zhou Sheng was startled. He was in a high place and scolded him: "Are you crazy?"
He said he was going to get down.
But he was held by someone again.
Chu Qinbai's left hand was placed behind his waist, and his right hand with gauze wrapped around his arm was pinching Zhou Sheng's fingers. One by one
, he didn't say anything.
Zhou Sheng was afraid that someone would push the door in and see this scene, and he didn't know what Chu Qinbai wanted to say.
He nodded: "Okay, then I'll apologize to them later."
People don't know it, maybe he was a little scary before?
"Do you listen to the point?" Chu Qinbai raised his eyebrows and looked at him.
Zhou Sheng: "What is the point?"
Chu Qinbai motioned for him to put his ear close.
Zhou Sheng was puzzled and really bent forward.
Then someone bit his earlobe.
Zhou Sheng trembled all over.
"You say one thing and mean another."
Chu Qinbai leaned over and looked at his instantly red neck, and said in a hoarse voice: "You don't have to admit it, I can see it anyway."
Zhou Sheng resisted the urge to rub his ears and suppressed the numbness in his senses.
After looking at him for two seconds, he suddenly pushed him against the back of the chair and leaned forward.
In Chu Qinbai's surprised and raised eyebrows, she pinched the corner of his collar with her fingertips, tilted her head slightly, and showed the contemptuous attitude of a real superior.
She was a little angry, angry at the person who hurt people and the organizer who made mistakes. There were also nervous worries along the way. When I didn't know the situation, I admitted that I was frightened by the various possibilities turning over in my mind.
But.
Why should I admit it?
With unreasonable arrogance, "I don't say one thing and mean another."
He glanced at his arm and sneered lightly: "Knowing martial arts doesn't mean you are that powerful. Your injury, who can scare you."
Chu Qinbai was angry and amused.
The next second he froze.
"Fuck." He cursed, "Be good, step back a little."
Zhou Sheng frowned, "What did you say?"
"This Mr. Zhou who always thought I knew martial arts." Chu Qinbai reminded, "If you move up a little, even if I know peerless magic skills, I will destroy you today."
Chen Dengdeng came back after sending people away.
He pushed the door open without any preparation, "Mr. Zhou, Brother Chu today... I was wrong! I didn't see anything! And, Brother Chu, pay attention to your wound!"
The door was slammed shut with a bang.
Zhou Sheng noticed something and lowered his head.
He raised his head and pushed the blame, "You were the one who was looking for trouble first."
"If you don't step back, I will really make trouble for you."
