    56, being a guest

    Lin Tu, who had been called by a series of fatal calls, subconsciously rejected the call that had nothing to do with work and answered the call from Director Huang from BNM TV station in seconds.

    Mingcheng, who was refused a call for the first time in his life, sat in his office, the smile on his face slowly solidifying.

    Wei Changsheng next to him looked at his boss’s smile gradually disappearing, and he desperately wanted to follow the cell phone signal to kill the culprit who made the boss unhappy.

    Before he could cautiously express his position, Mingcheng’s cell phone, which he had put down with a straight face, immediately rang a brisk ringtone.

    Huh——

    Wei Changchang let out a long sigh of relief in his heart.

    Okay, okay, the problem doesn’t seem to be serious.

    Unexpectedly, when Mingcheng lowered his head and glanced at the name on the screen of his mobile phone, his face became even colder.

    He directly threw the phone to Wei Changsheng aside, raised his head, closed his eyes, pursed his lips and said no more.

    Wei Changsheng tremblingly picked up the phone, which was as powerful as a nuclear bomb, and cautiously peeked at the name displayed on the phone through his squinted eyes.

    Is one of the three giants on the board of directors.

    He’s face was wrinkled, and his whole person exuded an aura of despair. He closed his eyes and answered the uninvited call on behalf of his boss.

    Downstairs of TBX TV station.

    After handling three work calls, Lin Tu put his cell phone back into his handbag thoughtfully.

    She didn’t believe there could be such a coincidence in the world – three TV stations that had been clinging to their interests would relent at the same time and invite her to their headquarters again.

    But she couldn’t figure out where the problem turned around, and it was clear that she didn’t have more time to explore.

    So she immediately made it clear what she needed to do next, which was to get the most favorable outcome for herself in the shortest possible time.

    She did not accept any further invitations from any TV station because her bottom line and needs had been communicated to the other party in many previous negotiations.

    Now it depends on which TV station can get the single-signed contract with its official seal as quickly as possible, and she will choose which TV station to cooperate with.

    Perhaps because of her resolute attitude, the program directors of the three TV stations who contacted her did not say anything more.

    Lin Tu easily ended the negotiation that was turned back, and then he realized later-did someone else call her just now?

    “Hello?”

    She got into her car, fastened her seat belt, and made a call back to the strange neighbor in Xiaoxiangshan.

    Wei Changsheng, who was still holding the phone and subconsciously chose to accept the board’s questioning on behalf of his boss, felt an unfamiliar sweet female voice coming from the other side, leaving him stunned. He unconsciously took the phone away and glanced at the caller again.

    Mingcheng, who noticed something was wrong with Wei Changsheng’s condition, opened his eyes slightly and looked at him suspiciously.

    Wei Changsheng immediately wanted to cut off his own ears, and along the way, he also chopped off the paws of the dog that had not answered the call early in the morning, but had chosen to die after answering the call.

    He Ma Liu handed the phone back to his boss with both hands, wishing he could kneel down and kowtow to apologize.

    Mingcheng’s eyes were still narrowed, but there was no expression on his face. He silently accepted the phone call from Wei Changsheng and spoke calmly.

    “Hey.”

    “It’s me ~ Lin Tu.”

    Because Lin Tu had dealt with a big matter, even his voice exuded an inexplicable aura of joy.

    Mingcheng’s tone remained calm, and after saying “hmm” there was no response.

    Lin Tu inserted the car key and started to ignite the engine. When he saw that the car was about to start, there was still no response, so he could only speak straight to the point, “You called me, what’s the matter?”

    “…”

    Mingcheng still pursed his thin lips and said nothing. Wei Changsheng on the side looked at every facial expression of his boss as if he was walking on thin ice. Suddenly he realized in hindsight, “What’s the difference between standing here and listening to the corner?”!

    “Master, I suddenly remembered that Director Li just asked me to go to his office. I’m leaving now! I’m leaving now!”

    Before Mingcheng could say anything, he had already disappeared in front of his boss.

    Seeing he leave, a hint of warmth appeared on Mingcheng’s lips, and his tone softened a lot.

    He held his cell phone and looked at the gloomy sky, and spoke slowly, “Were you busy just now? You didn’t even have time to answer the phone.”

    “Hey~”

    Lin Tu, who was exposed, let out a guilty laugh inexplicably, but her good mood was still fermenting, and her attitude was a bit closer than before.

    “There is good news suddenly about work… Let’s not talk about this anymore. Are you planning to go back to Xiaoxiangshan today? How about I treat you to dinner as a thank you for your last invitation.”

    “Yeah.”

    The corners of Mingcheng’s mouth were completely raised at the other end of the phone. He simply hung up the phone and called Wei Changsheng back.

    “Help me change my clothes and go to Xiaoxiangshan.”

    he paused and continued to speak.

    “Then you come back and continue to deal with the backlash from the old guys on the board of directors, while I stay over there.”

    “…”

    Wei Changsheng wanted to cry but had no tears.

    Master, this is definitely revenge. He just answered the call from that strange female voice on his behalf.

    The young master personally selected the candidate, and the young master personally rejected the candidate list submitted by the board of directors. Why is it that I always take the blame?Wuwuwuwuwu…

    Even though his heart was filled with tears, the movements of his hands were still slow.

    Ten minutes later, Mingcheng had transformed from the noble young master into the lazy and casual boy next door.

    He sat in the car, holding his chin with one hand and looking out the window at the pouring rain, with his mobile phone placed on his slender and powerful legs.Those lake-like eyes no longer had the aloof and arrogant aura to see through everything, but contained faint thoughts, and finally isolated everything from the outside world as he closed his eyes.

    Lin Tu’s original intention of inviting his strange neighbor next door to dinner was to invite him to the restaurant for dinner.

    However, when she saw Mingcheng again at Xiaoxiangshan Villa, he had already blocked the door of her house with a little childishness, and walked into the front yard of her house like a master in her polite manners.

    Lin Tu looked at the back of the man with long hair tied high in front of him and felt that he couldn’t figure out what he was thinking.

    The strange neighbor… is really weird every time he appears.

    She comforted herself like this, then resigned herself to her fate and closed the courtyard door, and followed the pace of the man in front of her step by step.

    She had already learned about the other person’s mysophobia, so after entering the door, she subconsciously started looking for brand new slippers that had not yet been opened in the shoe cabinet.

    Mingcheng stood beside Lin Tu without a smile. With a casual glance, he saw the slippers of a loving couple placed beside the entrance.

    “I can’t find the unopened men’s slippers… How about I go out and buy them now?”

    Lin Tu rummaged through the entire shoe cabinet in embarrassment to no avail, and finally had no choice but to make a suggestion.

    Mingcheng looked away, only to feel an inexplicable thorn in his heart.

    He raised his legs and kicked off his shoes, stepped directly on the wooden floor of Lin Tu’s house, and walked in.

    “No need.”

    Lin Tu bent down and tested the floor temperature in the room with the palm of his hand. Fortunately, the floor heating here was always supplied.

    She had no choice but to kick off her high heels and put on her house slippers. Then she put Lin Qi’s pair into the shoe cabinet, followed Mingcheng again and asked, “What do you want to eat tonight?”

    Mingcheng did not answer her, but stood in his old house that he had been away from for a long time, looking at the unfamiliar scenes around him.

    he has no habit of visiting other people’s homes.

    Except for the last time he came to Lin Tu’s house on a whim to invite him to have a wine tasting and a meal, this was the first time he had been a guest in a formal sense.

    He’s eyes first fell on the one-way visual access control in the corner of the living room, and then turned to the stairs leading to the second-floor room not far away.

    He clearly remembered that Lin Tu was standing in front of this visual access control the last time he came to invite someone.

    And the “lover” she was talking about asked her from a distance in her room on the second floor: where are the changed sheets hidden.

    Lin Tu was a little numb when Mingcheng looked around at her home.

    She has experienced how he behaves when no one else is around, and she has also seen how he is arrogant and content with himself.

    But when he looked around with such a lord-like gaze on his own territory, Lin Tu couldn’t help but frown slightly.

    She asked the unanswered question again, her tone a little more serious than before.

    “What would you like to eat tonight?”

    This time, Mingcheng finally withdrew his gaze and looked at her calmly before speaking.

    “Whatever.”

    “…”

    Lin Tu already regretted why he invited this strange neighbor to have dinner with him.

    He is obviously under low pressure today, and his face is hot and his butt is cold.

    But she quickly recited in her mind that the contract stated that she must maintain a good relationship with her neighbors, so don’t take his weirdness to heart, “Then I really did it casually?”

    “…”

    Mingcheng continued to look for clues about the existence of another man in the room.

    Lin Tu resignedly ignored him, and did not think about whether he would “condescend” to sit on the sofa that other people had sat on. He walked to the kitchen and started rummaging through the refrigerator.

    As expected, Mingcheng’s pursed lips tightened completely when he saw the double sofa that had been replaced in the living room.

    The sofa faced the TV set not far away. As long as two people sat on it, they would soon be close to each other accompanied by the noisy sound from the TV.

    He doesn’t like the TV or the loveseat so close together.

    All furniture that could enhance intimacy was completely blacklisted by him when he was free to choose.

    He was standing in the living room, and a vague male figure slowly appeared in front of his eyes.

    The back figure moves in this home, and life puts its own stamp on every detail inside.

    He turned his attention to the kitchen again.

    Lin Tu had already opened the only quick-frozen food in the freezer and started to make the “casual” dinner he requested.

    The smell of fireworks is completely different from his daily life.

    ——A strange environment, a strange scene, a strange way of life that scares and disgusts him.

    Mingcheng suddenly discovered.

    In this story, he doesn’t fit in.
