The square was as big as half a football field. Five minutes later, Mai Xiaoshu finally arrived at the back door, breathlessly.
"Where are the people?"
"Huh? He was here just now... There's no one in the driver's seat or the back seat. Maybe An Chengye was called back to the concert hall." Andy flew to the back door awkwardly, but didn't see anyone. "Don't worry, the car is still here."
"Are you sure this is his car?" Mai Xiaoshu was worried.
"Don't worry, I saw him get off the car before..." Andy said confidently. Mai Xiaoshu breathed a sigh of relief and decided to hide behind the haystack and wait for An Chengye to show up. At the same time, a voice came from the corridor not far from the back door of the concert hall.
"What? The phone is frozen!" A handsome young man leaned against the wall with one hand and held his phone with the other, and said in shock, "Why did you tell me such an important thing now!"
He was wearing a simple black T-shirt and shorts, his hair was messy, and he was wearing a pair of sneakers, looking rebellious.
He didn't know what was said on the phone, and he couldn't help rubbing his temples. "Really? Jian Jun has diarrhea, and the car keys are with him. I'll go back as soon as he comes out. Remember, no matter what method you use, you can't affect the World Cool Technology System. If something goes wrong, you all pack up and leave!"
"What a bunch of trash!" After hanging up the phone, the boy couldn't help cursing.
Although he had changed out of his formal suit, it was not difficult to recognize the young man in front of him just by looking at his rare handsome face. He was An Chengye who had just stood on the stage to receive the award.
At this moment, he was completely different from the gentle and dignified appearance he had just had on the podium, and his face was full of impatience.
As for the "rubbish" he mentioned, he was referring to those idiot employees who worked in the company and received high salaries on time every month, but could not do anything in an emergency and could only ask him for solutions.
In his opinion, incompetent people are a group of parasites. In the short term, they will only affect the company's business. In the long run, the increase in the number of parasites will drag down the entire nation.
Yes, it is such a serious matter!
While he was angry, An Chengye's brain started thinking like a sophisticated instrument about how long it would take for a server crash to cause the entire server system to crash.
"Half an hour. We must arrive at the company within half an hour."
"Hey, how long are you going to take?" Following An Chengye's roar , the sound of the toilet flushing was heard in the bathroom.
Mai Xiaoshu's feet were numb after squatting beside the haystack for a long time. She couldn't help but stand up and pinch her calves, muttering softly, "It's not easy to be a paparazzi..."
"Xiao Shu! He shows up!"
Reminded by Andy's chattering voice, Mai Xiaoshu indeed saw the familiar face.
The boy has a high nose, beautiful lips, eyes that radiate a determined look, and his casual and natural short hair cannot conceal the captivating charm emanating from his entire face.
Behind him was an equally handsome boy, but still slightly less handsome than An Chengye. "It's really An Chengye, wow, he looks like a star from a magazine!" Mai Xiaoshu had only seen him on TV news before, and it was his first time seeing him in person, so he couldn't help but get a little too excited.
"Don't just stand there, he's leaving!"
Mai Xiaoshu finally reacted and ran towards An Chengye, clutching the interview outline. "An Chengye, I'm a reporter from The Star. Can I do a simple interview with you?"
An Chengye, who was walking towards the car door in a low-key manner, was startled by the sudden voice and stopped. He saw a girl with a bun on her hair and a round face and her coat was covered with weeds running towards him.
"Wouldn't I go out through the front door if I hadn't released the news? Why are there reporters at the back door!" An Chengye turned his head and asked Jian Jun beside him, but immediately realized that now was not the time to ask for accountability. He glanced at Mai Xiaoshu impatiently and hurriedly walked towards the car door that Jian Jun had opened.
"Drive now!"
After receiving the order, Jian Jun immediately took the driver's seat.
An Chengye was impatiently preparing to close the car door, but he didn't expect that as soon as he moved his hand, a scream suddenly came from outside the door.
"Ah—my hand!"
An Chengye, who was sitting in the car, saw through the gap in the door the female paparazzi squatting on the ground and screaming.
"Ahhh, my hand, my hand!"
From the girl's exaggerated acting, An Chengye could tell that she had bad intentions. She thought she could fool him like this? What an idiot.
"Why are you pretending? The car door isn't even closed."
Unexpectedly, he was exposed mercilessly. Mai Xiaoshu immediately said with a guilty conscience: "Haha... I thought my hand was going to be crippled."
The sweet dimples on her fair face gave her a refreshing feeling, but her fingers were scratching the car door hard, showing no intention of giving up her crazy plan.
She had realized that An Chengye had no intention of paying attention to her, so she decided to get in the car and complete the interview task.
"I'm in a hurry, please let go of your hand!" An Chengye saw that she was extremely shameless, and said coldly with a dark face.
"You can't let go! Come on, Xiaoshu!" Andy flapped his wings and spun above Xiaoshu's head.
"Just a simple interview, please give me five minutes!" Mai Xiaoshu continued to block the car door with Andy's support, with a flattering smile on his face.
"No!" An Chengye refused flatly.
No...can't? Such a simple and rude rejection!
How come An Chengye is completely different from the easy-going person he appears to be on TV?
However, the devil is always stronger than the good, so Mai Xiaoshu decided to play the emotional card: "Please! I will be fired if I don't get the report!"
Before she finished her words, a sudden noisy sound came from behind the car and quickly approached them.
"Oh my god! It's really An Chengye's car!"
"Chase him!"
"Oh no! The fans are catching up with us!" Jian Jun saw the situation clearly from the rearview mirror and turned back anxiously, waiting for An Chengye's instructions, "Boss, what should we do!"
"We must get to the company within 20 minutes!" An Chengye saw that he couldn't get rid of this dog-skin plaster, and was afraid of being entangled by more reporters. After thinking for two seconds, he dragged Mai Xiaoshu into the car and calmly ordered, "Drive."
After Mai Xiaoshu reacted, he found himself in the car. He saw the large group of people chasing him through the rear window and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Oops, Andy!"
"Xiao Shu!" Andy flapped his wings and tried to catch up with the car, but it was impossible for his delicate wings to keep up with the speed of the car.
"I left you behind before I could even thank you. I'm sorry! You have to fly home by yourself." "What are you mumbling about?" An Chengye breathed a sigh of relief with lingering fear, but when he turned around, he saw the stranger he had pulled up muttering something he couldn't understand to the car window.
There must be something wrong with his brain.
As he thought this, he and Mai Xiaoshu looked at each other. An Chengye's eyes were filled with anger. Even if Mai Xiaoshu was blind, he could see that he had been forced to pull her into the car. If it wasn't for him, he wouldn't be so embarrassed.
The atmosphere seemed to be frozen. In this situation...what should I say?
"Hello, I'm Mai Xiaoshu, a reporter from The Star."
"You think the point now is to introduce yourself?"
"Ah?" Mai Xiaoshu didn't understand what he meant and scratched his head.
Two strangers, no, three strangers were in the same space, especially when she was the intruder. Should they just go straight to the interview without introducing themselves first?
"Another idiot!" An Chengye muttered when he saw Mai Xiaoshu's slow reaction.
"What? What's that?" Because An Chengye's voice was not loud, Mai Xiaoshu did not hear clearly. "Shouldn't you apologize first? You pretended to get your hand caught when I closed the door. This is the first time I've seen such a clumsy trick. I'm afraid it's not something a low-IQ animal like you can think of. Did the company teach you? The Star, right? Jian Jun, send me a lawyer's letter. I want to sue them for blackmail!"
"Ah?" Mai Xiaoshu didn't expect An Chengye's train of thought to be so amazing. He first scolded her for using clumsy means, then ridiculed her for having a low IQ, and then wanted to sue... Fei Fei's company!
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." The driver named Jian Jun agreed.
Seeing that the other party was serious, Mai Xiaoshu quickly bowed her head and apologized: "I'm sorry! I'm not a reporter from The Xingxing. If you want to sue, sue me." Even if she pursued the matter, it would be her fault and Feifei could not be implicated.
"Didn't you just say you were a reporter for The Star?"
"I'm a temporary...reporter...the kind of temporary reporter who writes some interviews and submits them to newspapers to earn some pocket money." Mai Xiaoshu explained uneasily, hoping that this would clear his relationship with Feifei Company.
"You mean... you work so hard just for a paid part-time job?" An Chengye squinted his eyes, his face full of distrust.
"Wow, wow, wow, if you don't accept the interview, I won't be able to pay the rent for next month. Please help me! It really only takes five minutes!"
An Chengye looked at the girl in front of him who suddenly burst into tears in disbelief. "Sensitive creatures" were the species he hated the most besides "worms".
In the past, when recruiting employees, he would ask interviewees to fill out a psychological assessment form, and the first to be eliminated would be those who lacked rationality.
Because he would get goose bumps whenever he encountered a creature that shed tears easily, and now a "nasty creature" appeared in the same space. How unlucky!
"So…when are you going to start the interview? I'm in a hurry after I get off the bus."
"Huh?" Mai Xiaoshu wiped her tears and looked at An Chengye in confusion, not sure if she had heard it wrong.
Jian Jun, who was driving, couldn't help laughing when he saw for the first time that the boss also had someone he couldn't handle. However, when he saw An Chengye's murderous look at him from the rearview mirror, Jian Jun immediately shut up.
"Are you really willing to be interviewed? Thank you so much! Don't worry, The Star is a very formal magazine, and this interview will definitely help you improve your public image!" Fearing that An Chengye would go back on his word, Mai Xiaoshu hurriedly opened the interview outline. When he saw the words written on it, he was stunned for half a second, and asked word by word:
"Excuse me, what does your...dream...lover...look like?"
"What?" What a lousy question! An Chengye thought he had heard it wrong and asked back.
“Haha… It’s okay if you don’t want to answer. Let’s move on to the next question.” Mai Xiaoshu knew it would be difficult for the other party to answer by asking such gossip right away.
Oh, I really regretted not looking at the outline prepared by Feifei earlier, but I couldn't think of a replacement question for the time being, so I had to continue asking according to the order of the outline: "What color underwear do you like to wear?"
What the hell is this? Just now you said it was not a gossip magazine, but now you are slapping yourself in the face?
Mai Xiaoshu scratched his head awkwardly and glanced at the following questions: Do you like girls with short hair? What about Pisces? How would you comfort your girlfriend if she is angry?
I flipped through two pages of the outline. Short hair! Pisces! This is clearly Seinfeld. The questions above are all issues that Seinfeld cares about.
How unprofessional!
An Chengye knew that he could no longer hold back, so he stretched out his finger and pressed the button on the car door, and the window slowly rolled down.
A fresh breeze blew in. He took a deep breath and tried to suppress his temper. He said to himself: Don't explode here. The company's image is very important! Don't explode here. The company's image is very important!
When Mai Xiaoshu saw that An Chengye ignored her again, her heart felt chilled to the bone. Although she knew that it was unlikely that An Chengye would answer her, they were already in the car, and for Song Feifei's sake she decided to keep asking, thinking that he would be willing to answer a question.
"Why don't you just pick one or two answers at random... Next question, your first kiss..."
Jian Jun felt the influence of low pressure in the back row, and fearing that the situation would become more serious, he coughed awkwardly twice and interrupted Mai Xiaoshu's question: "Ms. Mai, is that you? I am Mr. An's assistant. Usually, the interview outline will be verified by me in advance. Mr. An gave you a chance just now, but the question is too outrageous and will damage the company's image. I'm afraid I can't answer it."
"I'm sorry, the questions are really boring. Can I change the questions and ask about things related to the competition?" Mai Xiaoshu scratched his head in annoyance, blinked his cute round eyes, and looked at An Chengye sincerely.
The guy in front of him looked very gullible. An Chengye squinted his eyes and looked at her, and suddenly a plan came to his mind.
"I'll give you ten minutes at the company. Please reorganize your outline now." An Chengye forced a smile, his pupils a clear amber color that made people feel good about him.
"Thank you so much!" Mai Xiaoshu was a little flattered.
An Chengye nodded, pretended nothing had happened, took out his mobile phone, edited the text, and clicked send.
"Beep Beep——" Jian Jun's cell phone quickly received a text message.
At the red light intersection, he opened his phone and took a look at the interface, and saw the message that An Chengye had just sent: "Arrange the car to hand over at the next intersection."
"Yes, sir!" Jian Jun said, and immediately put on the Bluetooth headset and began to execute orders.
Mai Xiaoshu, who was writing and drawing with his head down, was preparing questions in a daze, completely unaware of what was about to happen.
"Click——" suddenly there was an emergency brake.
"What happened?" Mai Xiaoshu raised her head in panic and asked in confusion. However, no one in the car answered her. She looked out of the car blankly, "Did you hit anything?"
