The Record of the Cheap Snake Chasing His Wife

It was a Saturday, and the traffic on the road was astonishingly heavy.Tan Chen restlessly lowered the car window, took out a cigarette from the gap in the seat and held it between his fingers.

It's not that he doesn't want to smoke, but that he promised that idiot that he would quit smoking. He must show some sincerity.

Car horns blare one after another, and even if it doesn't ease the turbulent traffic, the drivers are still happy to increase the noise.

Tan Chen's mood became more and more unhappy. He cursed viciously in a low voice, imagining that he had a submachine gun in his hand, and he would go down and knock them all down later!da da da da...

"Ring Ling Ling..."

While dreaming in his mind, Tan Chen was suddenly brought back to reality by a ringtone of the mobile phone.

The caller was Sheng Mingxuan.

Tan Chen took a deep breath, and answered in a flat tone.

"Manager Sheng, I'm sorry, I'm stuck in traffic here, so I'll be a little late."

Over there Sheng Mingxuan smiled gently: "It's okay, I also guessed that it was the case, seeing that you haven't come yet, I was a little worried, so I called to ask."

The undisguised tone of concern made Tan Chen immediately feel uncomfortable, as if someone approached him with kindness, but he didn't like this purposeful kindness at all.

If possible, he also hoped to minimize contact with Sheng Mingxuan.No matter how good each other used to be, after all, it was already "used to be".

It would be great if Sheng Mingxuan didn't have such feelings for him, if they were still friends...

Tan Chen suppressed the trace of regret in his expression, and said in a polite but deliberately distanced tone: "I'm sorry to trouble you, I will arrive as soon as possible when the road conditions improve."

"Don't worry, safety comes first." Sheng Mingxuan reminded quickly.

Tan Chen responded lightly, "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Tan Chen sighed, still worried about Ze Teng and Ze Yu.

Although Ze Teng's stay here is not short, but to be honest, that guy is as good as a two hundred and five; let alone Ze Yu, who has basically zero common sense, can the two of them buy clothes smoothly?In case you meet a reporter who wants to dig into Zeyu's "cowherd's past"...

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, Tan Chen couldn't help but immediately dialed Zeteng's cell phone.

"Hello? Where are you?"

Zeteng was very happy when he received the call, but Tan Chen's anxious tone made him slightly startled: "We are in the mall... did something happen?"

"...Nothing, go home early and try to avoid reporters."

"Reporter?" Ze Teng asked subconsciously, and then smiled without waiting for Tan Chen's answer: "What does it matter, Ze Yu is beside me."

There seemed to be some voice over there, and then the person who answered the phone changed, and Ze Yu said in a nonchalant tone: "Brother Chen, I have cast an invisibility technique, no one can see us except you, I will be careful .”

Tan Chen immediately felt relieved, and said with a sigh of relief: "That's good, you are still reliable."

Ze Teng's ears were very sharp, and he immediately became dissatisfied. Tan Chen was not happy to hear his jealous voice, so he hung up the phone with a chuckle.

When I arrived at the restaurant agreed with Sheng Mingxuan, it was already 10 minutes later than the original time.

Sheng Mingxuan was wearing a formal suit at work, sitting near the window, propping his forehead with his left hand, and flipping through a newspaper with his right hand, looking handsome.

Tan Chen approached quickly and sat down opposite him: "Manager Sheng, sorry for being late."

"Xiaochen, you're here." Sheng Mingxuan raised his head, and when he saw the person coming, he immediately smiled joyfully, "Order something first, we'll talk later when we're full." He waved to the waiter.

Tan Chen originally planned to have lunch with the Zetten brothers, but he didn't want to save the client's face, so he ordered a cup of rum coffee and a matcha pudding.

He called these two things casually, because they are small enough not to fill his stomach.Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Sheng Mingxuan looked at him and smiled meaningfully.

"I didn't expect you to still like to eat this now."

"...Huh?" Tan Chen was taken aback, "No, I just..."

"Hehe, don't be embarrassed, everyone has their own preference," Sheng Mingxuan said very understandingly, "Actually, when you were in college, you often secretly bought pudding, didn't you?"

Tan Chen's expression froze for a moment, with embarrassment of being seen through: "I eat it once in a while, but now I almost don't eat it."

How would he know?When I was a student, I really liked pudding. Although I only liked mild ones, it would be embarrassing for a big boy to hold a pudding box, so he often bought it when he didn’t know anyone. He thought it would be foolproof, shit!

"It doesn't matter if you like to eat, I can eat with you," Sheng Mingxuan raised the corner of his mouth with a bit of pampering, "Fortunately, what you like is pudding, not mustard."

This kind of offensive, if someone else changed, it might have been taken down.

Just as Tan Chen was in a daze, he suddenly realized that their topic was supposed to be about Ze Teng's scandal this time, but Sheng Mingxuan unknowingly led him to a different direction, which is not good.

So he stabilized his mind and said with a pun: "It's been so long, and it's only natural that my taste will change. I like spicy food more now--well, Manager Sheng, I believe you are too busy to squeeze out this meeting." Time, let's make a long story short and talk about the key points."

Sheng Mingxuan's eyes flickered and he nodded. Although he was unwilling to stop reminiscing about the past, he did not object to Tan Chen's proposal. After all, work should be the top priority.

"This is the name of that media outlet, and there are several related websites." Tan Chen took out a document with a solemn expression——with his company's current strength, it was impossible to ask these websites to withdraw the reports, but Yajie did. It's different. If the image of actors is damaged, their product sales will also be affected. He met Sheng Mingxuan today to see if Yajie is willing to do some public relations activities to recover part of the loss.

Sheng Mingxuan is so smart, he naturally thought of this, his face remained calm, but an idea gradually formed in his heart.

"Mr. Tan, Yajie is the indirect victim. Our priority now is to seek compensation from you...not to clean up the mess for you."

Tan Chen's heart was shocked.

He found that Sheng Mingxuan had changed his name, and the words he used suddenly became serious—could he be implying that he would use a favor offensive?

Tan Chen couldn't help frowning: "I will take responsibility for the compensation."

"That's not what I mean... But I have another way to solve this problem, would you like to hear it?"

"……Please say."

Sheng Mingxuan tapped on the table, as if he was thinking about something.After a while, he slowly said: "Zeten is now the most controversial time, why not let him sign into the performing arts company, so that someone will help him reshape his image, and this commercial is his first debut The works will also receive more attention, isn’t it killing two birds with one stone.”

When Tan Chen heard this, he subconsciously quickly refused: "No."

Sheng Mingxuan raised his eyebrows unexpectedly: "Why? Just because he is your lover?"

"..."

It was rare for Tan Chen to be speechless. His desire to protect Ze Teng was not fake, but facing Sheng Mingxuan's implicitly blaming gaze, he felt inexplicably guilty.

After a long time, he said a little shyly: "It's not just because of this, as I said before, he is not interested in the entertainment industry, and he is working here now..."

"Xiao Chen," Sheng Mingxuan sighed, "Are you planning to just tie him up by your side for the rest of your life and let him live under your umbrella forever? Is this really good?"

Tan Chen was left speechless by his question.

"If Zetten is really suitable for your company, why would he work in a nightclub in the first place? Think about it, he has the same appearance and voice, whether it is acting or singing, you can try it. Would you like to watch him? Just go on in obscurity and refuse to give him a chance?"

Tan Chen was annoyed as if he had been poked at the heart: "It's a misunderstanding. He just believed in the recruitment notice. In fact, he only stayed there for two hours and came back!"

"Xiaochen, you know that's not the point," Sheng Mingxuan patted the back of his hand that was pressing hard on the table soothingly, "Don't get excited, let's have some coffee first."

Tan Chen picked up the coffee and drank half of it in one go. The slightly bitter taste calmed him down a lot.

"...Sorry, I don't think there is any need to talk about this issue, I won't let him go to another company."

"Well, I respect your decision, and I believe you have the courage to bear the consequences." Sheng Mingxuan smiled, "I'm sorry for saying something that upset you, come on, let's eat, we won't talk about business, you You can talk to me about your future plans."

He ordered two more black pepper beef tenderloin pasta. Tan Chen was upset at the moment, and he didn't want to go to Ze Teng anymore. He was even more afraid that Ze Yu would see something, so he agreed to have lunch with Sheng Mingxuan.

...Maybe it will be fine after a while. It takes a period of running-in at the beginning of getting along. You can slowly consider the matter of Zeten... Yes, he is a monster with a long lifespan. He can decide what kind of place he has been to Life, if he likes to be with him, it doesn't matter if the two stick together for a lifetime... right.

Tan Chen secretly took a deep breath, picked up a fork and began to eat.

Sheng Mingxuan told him some interesting things from time to time, and Tan Chen nodded absently in response. He ate very slowly, as if he was thinking about things, and didn't listen carefully to what the other party said.

When the plate was about to bottom out, Tan Chen suddenly heard a "dong dong dong" sound.

He subconsciously turned his head and saw Zeten's smiling face as bright as a spring flower.

Tan Chen: "..."

Sheng Mingxuan heard it too, he pushed his silver-rimmed glasses and looked out the window, wondering: "Who is knocking on the glass?"

The idiot Snake relied on others not being able to see him, and unscrupulously raised two middle fingers at Sheng Mingxuan through the glass window, and then asked with dissatisfied eyes: Why do you eat together?

Tan Chen blushed, turned his head back calmly, "It's okay, it's probably a child."

"Oh, then let's continue eating."

Tan Chen pretended that nothing happened, but the four scorching gazes from the window made him a little restless...

Zeyu was wearing the beige short-sleeves and black cropped pants he just bought, and his calmness faded, making him look more like a teenager.He leaned against the window and stared at the beef on Tan Chen's plate, with the word "hungry" clearly written on his face.

But Ze Teng was even worse, punching and kicking at Sheng Mingxuan, jumping up and down to vent his jealousy, as if he wanted to roast Manager Sheng before giving up.

Tan Chen was in great embarrassment and was thinking of saying goodbye to Sheng Mingxuan as soon as possible and taking his brother-in-law to dinner, but at this moment, Sheng Mingxuan stretched out his hand to him without warning, touched his lips ambiguously with his fingertips, and then said with a smile: " It's stained with sauce, Xiaochen."

Ze Teng obviously didn't expect Sheng Mingxuan to be so presumptuous. He witnessed the whole process of his wife being eaten tofu by others. After a short moment of stunned, his face immediately changed color, and murderous aura spewed out!Tan Chen was in a bad mood, and it was too late to stop him, so he had to watch Ze Teng stride into the store...
