The next morning, the first time Pei Shaoze woke up, an emotionless mechanical voice sounded in his mind: "The novice task has not been completed, and the player points will be deducted by 50 points."
Obviously, System 1022 has given up on Pei Shaoze, and his voice is not as enthusiastic as it was yesterday.
Pei Shaoze's expression didn't change, as if he didn't hear it, he rolled over and got out of bed on his own.
The quilt was so hot that it was on fire, he reached out and touched Cheng Xia's forehead - sure enough, he had a fever.
Pei Shaoze got up and poured a glass of warm water, opened the antipyretic medicine left by Qin Yu, and helped Cheng Xia to feed him a piece. Then he went to the bathroom to get a clean towel, soaked it in cold water, and put it on Cheng Xia's forehead to cool down physically.
With the antipyretics and cold compress on his forehead, Cheng Xia's body temperature really dropped a little.
At the same time, assistant Zhang Fan saw the message sent by President Pei as soon as he got up, and immediately replied: "Okay, President Pei."
Trip canceled? There are two less important dinners scheduled today, and it doesn't matter if they are cancelled. It's just that Zhang Fan has some doubts. President Pei has rarely asked about company affairs since he took over Tianxuan. Why did he suddenly call Zhao Wenxiu today
President Pei actually knew that Tianxuan had Zhao Wenxiu
Although he was puzzled, Zhang Fan quickly found Zhao Wenxiu's contact information, called him, and said politely, "Hello Mr. Zhao, I am Zhang Fan, President Pei's assistant, and President Pei said that he will send you at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. Meet him at Tianxuan headquarters. I will greet him at the front desk in advance, you can take the VIP elevator to the top floor directly, and I will take you there."
Zhao Wenxiu's heart skipped a beat, and his tongue almost knotted: "Pei, President Pei wants to see me? Did you say anything?"
Zhang Fan said with a good-natured smile: "I don't know either, you can ask him in person when the time comes."
The phone is hung up.
Zhao Wenxiu shook his hands and almost dropped his phone.
Last night, he boldly gave Cheng Xia a pheromone release agent and sent it to President Pei's villa. Anyway, a little transparency is normal for a rich second-generation rich second-generation like Pei Shaoze. He thought, as long as President Pei marked Cheng Xia, Alpha would instinctively have a desire to protect after completely occupying Omega, and then let Cheng Xia blow his ears, wouldn't it be easy to ask President Pei for some resources
As long as President Pei is willing to support Cheng Xia, his agent can follow suit.
But today, President Pei suddenly asked to see him by name? Or go to Tianxuan headquarters to meet!
Everyone in Tianxuan knows that President Pei seldom comes to the company throughout the year, and Zhao Wenxiu has no idea whether it is a good thing or a bad thing at the meeting at the company this time. In order to prevent President Pei from knowing that this was his plan and getting angry, Zhao Wenxiu decided to push this matter onto Cheng Xia, saying that Cheng Xia took the initiative.
That's right, just do it.
Zhao Wenxiu made up his mind and hurriedly went to Liu Rui, the driver, to talk to him in advance.
He didn't know, just as he went out, assistant Zhang Fan's cell phone received another message: "Xiao Zhang, send the information of all the stars and agents of Tianxuan Group to my mailbox as soon as possible."
Zhang Fan: "???"
What is President Pei's situation today? He is looking for Zhao Wenxiu to meet again, and he is asking for company artist information? Could it be that this dandy young master suddenly became professional? Zhang Fan complained in his heart, but his actions were very quick, and he immediately turned on the computer and sent the information.
Pei Shaoze was worried that Cheng Xia would have a high fever again and again, so he simply brought the laptop into the bedroom and sat on the sofa beside the bed, guarding Cheng Xia while carefully checking the company's information.
Although he finished reading the original novel of "Accidental Mark" last night, his understanding of the world in the book is not comprehensive enough. The main line of this book has always revolved around the emotional abuse of the protagonist, and the company's situation is all covered in one stroke. In the end, it only writes about the Tianxuan Group being seized of power. The content described by the author is actually just the "tip of the iceberg" in this entertainment world.
Now, he has personally penetrated into the world of the book. There are far more characters in this complete world than Pei Shaoze has seen as a reader, and each character has its own circle of life. And these, the author did not write.
How the Tianxuan Group was seized of power later, how many stars and agents Tianxuan had, what projects did Tianxuan invest in, what TV stations did it have cooperative relations with, and what endorsements were received for its artists—the author did not say anything.
In the original book, Cheng Xia's golden fingers are all in foreign countries. Now he doesn't want Cheng Xia to go abroad, but decides to keep Cheng Xia in the country for training, so the first step he has to do is to thoroughly understand the current situation of the domestic entertainment circle.
***
All day long, Pei Shaoze was looking at documents.
It wasn't until it was dark that Cheng Xia woke up in a daze.
With the lamp on in the house, Cheng Xia saw the man sitting under the light as soon as he opened his eyes.
The orange light was projected warmly and sprinkled on the man's body. The man wore a white bathrobe, with deep eyebrows and eyes, a high nose bridge, a strong jawline, and a sexy Adam's apple, all of which could be seen under the illumination of the light.
At this moment, the man was staring at the laptop screen, tapping his fingers lightly on the keyboard, his expression quite serious.
Cheng Xia's heart skipped a beat - it wasn't a dream last night? !
However, before Cheng Xia could look back, Pei Shaoze, who noticed the movement, suddenly looked at him.
When he bumped into the man's deep eyes, Cheng Xia immediately looked away like an electric shock. The image of an octopus entangling the other party for a kiss when he lost control last night flashed in his mind. Cheng Xia's face instantly flushed red, and his head was almost drooping. to the chest.
Pei Shaoze closed the computer, walked over with his long legs, and asked in a low voice, "Awake?"
Cheng Xia: "..."
Is there a hole to drill? How should he face this Alpha boss
Thinking of what happened last night, Cheng Xia's mind was like a mess.
He only remembered that many stars came to the company's annual meeting, many of them were his idols. Cheng Xia was blinded by the bright starlight. Eat cake in the corner.
After a while, the agent suddenly said in his ear, "President Pei is here."
Then, Cheng Xia saw a tall Alpha star walking towards the moon, picking up the microphone on the stage and saying a few words of congratulations. Cheng Xia applauded along with everyone. President Pei seemed to glance in his direction. He didn't know who the other party was looking at, so he smiled politely at the boss.
After that, Cheng Xia and the agent had a buffet together, and the agent kept whispering in his ear—
"Pei is always the eldest son of the Pei family. Although he took over the company soon, Tianxuan will definitely have the final say in the future."
"The Pei family has a wide network of connections. It is said that the director of the film whose box office exceeded 5 billion not long ago was President Pei's cousin."
"If you can get the favor of President Pei, you will definitely be able to soar into the sky, right?"
The agent was thoughtful at the time, but Cheng Xia didn't think much, and continued to eat pastries quietly in the corner.
He likes sweets. The desserts in this hotel are especially delicious. Cheng Xia's attention has been on eating them. Later, the agent left for a while and handed him a glass of orange juice when he came back. Cheng Xia drank the juice in one gulp, and then lost consciousness.
When he woke up, he was lying on a strange bed with President Pei beside him...
Thinking of the vague clip of "seeking a mark" that haunted President Pei last night, Cheng Xia's face turned red and white.
Was it flagged last night
Cheng Xia tensed his body and groped around under the covers—no obvious discomfort, no strange marks on his body, and no feeling of being invaded by Alpha's pheromones.
So... President Pei didn't tag him last night
Realizing this, Cheng Xia breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Mr. Pei, I'm sorry."
This sentence sounded almost at the same time as Pei Shaoze's voice: "Is it still uncomfortable?"
The air was suddenly quiet.
Cheng Xia was embarrassed to speak, bowed his head and shrank his neck awkwardly in the bed. Pei Shaoze sat down beside the bed with a calm expression, reached out to probe Cheng Xia's forehead, and whispered, "The fever is gone."
He handed Cheng Xia a glass of water: "Drink some water first, you haven't eaten for a day, I'll get you something to eat."
Cheng Xia stared blankly at the glass tucked into his hands, and the whole person was stunned.
President Pei didn't scold him?
In Mr. Pei's opinion, he should be a little transparent who crawled onto the bed brazenly and seduced the boss with pheromones. A normal person would be disgusted by such a trick, right? Shouldn't Mr. Pei be furious? Or is this just the calm before the storm
When Pei Shaoze came to the bedroom with food, Cheng Xia was still holding the glass of water in a daze, looking very dazed.
According to the original book, Pei Shaoze should mark Cheng Xia last night. Now that the plot has been modified by Pei Shaoze, Cheng Xia's first sentence after sobering up is "I'm sorry", which is also in line with his character. He must feel that the loss of control of his pheromone caused trouble to President Pei last night, so he took the initiative to apologize and beg President Pei to forgive him.
Aware of Alpha coming to his side, Cheng Xia came to his senses, lowered his head and repeated: "I'm sorry..."
This serious repentance looks like a good student who is criticized by the teacher after making a mistake.
Pei Shaoze said calmly, "Don't apologize, I had someone give you an inhibitor last night, and nothing happened between us. You eat first, and you can talk about other things after you finish eating."
He handed Cheng Xia a bowl of noodles, which looked simple but was actually rich in nutrients. There was a round poached egg in the bowl, lots of fresh greens and several ribs.
The bowl of noodles is not a common takeaway lunch box, but a white porcelain bowl.
Could it be that President Pei did it himself
Cheng Xia immediately rejected this idea. Pei Shaoze is the boss of Tianxuan, so how could he cook and eat with his own hands? I guess the babysitter did it. Cheng Xia hadn't eaten all day, and was really hungry. Seeing that Mr. Pei's attitude was gentle, he didn't seem to be angry, so he took the bowl boldly, lowered his head and ate quickly.
Pei Shaoze returned to the sofa and continued to organize the information.
Only the sound of a man tapping the keyboard and Cheng Xia chewing food were left in the bedroom.
Such a quiet atmosphere made Cheng Xia nervous.
Cheng Xia finished the noodles quickly, put the bowl on the bedside table, swallowed, and explained carefully: "Mr. Pei, I don't know what happened last night. Maybe someone added pheromone to my food. Release agent, will make my pheromone suddenly out of control... "
Pei Shaoze looked up at him: "Is it Zhao Wenxiu?"
Cheng Xia also knew that this incident was probably done by the agent, and the problem was in the glass of juice. But the juice has been consumed by him, and there is no evidence to check. Second, Zhao Wenxiu is his manager after all. Even if he says that the manager did it, Mr. Pei may not believe it. Maybe he will think that he has colluded with the manager for a long time.
After all, the artist and the manager are grasshoppers on the same boat, and if the boat capsizes, neither of them will benefit.
It is difficult to explain this matter clearly, the key depends on President Pei's attitude. If President Pei doesn't mind, then everything is easy to say. If he feels disgusted or even offended, then he and his agent are likely to end up together.
Cheng Xia took a deep breath and looked at Pei Shaoze anxiously: "I'm not sure who it is."
He didn't have any evidence, so of course he didn't dare to talk nonsense.
"I'll find out about this." Pei Shaoze paused and asked again, "Is your film school about to take the final exam?"
Cheng Xia nodded: "Well, the final exam next week."
Pei Shaoze said: "You should prepare for the exam with peace of mind, and then go back and wait for the company's notice."
Cheng Xia was stunned—waiting for the notice? Did you notify him of the termination
Mr. Pei shouldn't think that he seduces the boss with low-level means and wants to kick him out of Tianxuan
The attitude of the Alpha in front of him was unfathomable, and Cheng Xia was completely unsure.
He couldn't help thinking, if President Pei really kicked him out of Tianxuan, could he sign with another company? Or is it that President Pei will never do anything, just block him in the entire entertainment industry and cut off his back path? If President Pei blocks him, will he never have a chance to act in the future
This kind of thing happened just after he was admitted to the film school. Pheromone was out of control and lying on the boss's bed. He was really speechless. No one would believe that he was innocent. After all, there are too many entertainers in the entertainment industry who rely on unspoken rules to win opportunities.
If this kind of thing got out, he would immediately lose his reputation.
If father finds out, will he get angry and get sick? !
The three words "waiting for the notice" are like driving him to the execution ground, with the knife on his neck, and he can only resign...
Cheng Xia's mind was buzzing, and his heart was numb for a while.
But he didn't know that lines of numbers were constantly flashing in Pei Shaoze's mind.
[Cheng Xia's favorability for you -1]
[Cheng Xia's favorability for you -2]
[Cheng Xia's favorability for you -3]
Pei Shaoze raised his eyebrows and looked up at the boy on the bed.
The favorability level was 0 o'clock last night, but it was actually deducted into a negative number today
Is he being too serious and scaring him
