Dust is like a city

Chapter 142 Requirements

The place Huo Yong chose to have dinner was a high-end teahouse in City A called "Yougu House". It is said that it has a long history. It turns out that the antique style, in the central city of City A, this place can be regarded as a very unique landscape, and the grade is very high, it can almost keep pace with the Royal Palace of Spades, but there is still a difference between the two, Spades The Imperial Court is basically a paradise for the rich, but this Yougu Mansion is more visited by the elderly and powerful people.

Chen Qianchen came to this place alone, and the waiter who received him should have been notified in advance, so when Chen Qianchen arrived at the door, he came up to say hello and led him to the private room on the third floor.

This place is very quiet, from the elevator up to the long corridor, almost no one was seen, only the waitress in cheongsam helped Chen Qianchen open the curtain in front of him at the place where Chen Qianchen was passing by, and after walking for a long time, it was real. Get inside the compartment.

Huo Yong was already sitting in the center of the room by himself, sitting cross-legged on the mat, rubbing the purple jade teapot in his hand to feel the temperature of the water, he didn't raise his head when he heard Chen Qianchen coming in, but poured the water slowly The water filled the white jade teacup, and then slowly poured it out.

No wonder I heard that people with power in city A like to come to this place to gather and discuss matters. It is indeed very quiet and will not be disturbed.

While thinking in his heart, Chen Qianchen walked slowly in front of Huo Yong, and didn't bother him, just bowed slightly, and didn't care whether Huo Yong saw him or not.

"Sit down." Huo Yong said lightly.

Chen Qianchen nodded: "Yes, chairman." After speaking, he sat down cross-legged.

Huo Yong raised his hand, skillfully poured tea on the two teacups, and said, "Do you like tea?"

Chen Qianchen hesitated for a moment, and replied: "I drink occasionally, but I don't really understand it."

Huo Yong smiled: "I know, you young people just like some kind of coffee, and Rong Xuan does too. What's the point of drinking that stuff every day for work? It's not as refreshing as tea .”

Chen Qianchen just smiled slightly and did not answer.

"How old are you?" Huo Yong pushed the tea in front of Chen Qianchen.

"I'll be 25 after the Chinese New Year." Chen Qianchen replied.

Huo Yong nodded: "25 is very young, but for your profession, it is not a very good age, right?"

Chen Qianchen was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect Huo Yong's words to be so straightforward.

It’s true that artists just eat their youth. In other people’s eyes, 25 is just the age when college graduates just graduated. They are really young, but in this circle, there is no advantage at this age. It can even be said that if you don’t work hard at this age, you will be They will be eliminated immediately, and there are very few people who can become popular again after their thirties and have a second career. It's just that people basically don't say that when they chat face to face, and they will only say that 24 and [-] are good years.

"Men, the golden age of career actually starts at the age of 30. He has experience, experience, and hard work." Huo Yong took a sip of tea lightly, "It's like Rong Xuan, he is almost 28, although outsiders see him He has done well all these years, but I am his grandfather, I know he has too many immature places, which is why I haven't completely let go of the company until now, when he turns [-] and starts a family, maybe I It is really time to abdicate and give way to Xian."

Chen Qianchen raised his eyes and looked at Huo Yong. The words "[-]-year-old family" were obviously meant for himself, but Chen Qianchen still didn't understand the real meaning of Huo Yong's words.

"So, Mr. Chen, do you think that as a man, he should really have a youthful meal like a woman?" Huo Yong put down his teacup, his eyes became a little serious and indifferent.

Chen Qianchen clenched his fist lightly, but remained calm on the surface.

"It's not like I said, being an artist, you can't make a lot of money. What's the point?" Huo Yong laughed, "I've lived abroad these years, and I consider myself an enlightened person. Rong Xuan doesn't want to marry a woman, so what's the point?" Don't get married, but as an elder, I hope that he will have someone to take care of him in the future. You know, his work is very busy. When I completely let go of him in the future, he will become even busier than he is now. At least twice. So... I hope that the person who can accompany him is a caring person, Mr. Chen, do you understand what I mean?"

Chen Qianchen's expression changed slightly, and he said, "...the chairman please speak directly."

"I mean, I hope you quit the entertainment industry." Huo Yong looked directly at Chen Qianchen.

Chen Qianchen's fingertips clenched tightly, almost embedded in the palm of his hand.

Huo Yong said indifferently: "Rong Xuan is a very good child. He has been excellent in all aspects since he was a child. It's a pity that his parents left early and I didn't pay enough attention to him. He developed a particularly bad habit, that is, liking Finding someone in the entertainment industry is considered a failure of my education, and I don't blame him, but everything is different. You must know the status of the Huo family, Mr. Chen, although I can accept Rong Xuan Bringing a man home doesn't mean the Huo family can accept a showbiz insider, do you understand?"

Chen Qianchen pursed his lips and didn't say a word.

Huo Yong looked at him, and said calmly: "I heard that you are going to hold a press conference tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?"

Chen Qianchen raised his eyes quickly, showing a hint of surprise.

Huo Yong said: "Then take advantage of this opportunity and announce your withdrawal from the entertainment industry."

"Please wait a moment, Chairman Huo, this matter... No matter what, I should at least give me time to think about it or discuss it with Rong Xuan..." Chen Qianchen interrupted him.

"Consider?" Huo Yong raised his final voice, and his voice was a bit cool, "I don't understand, what is there to consider about this kind of thing? You can earn a lot of money as an artist, but when will you be worth hundreds of billions?" Can you earn it? Those who have worked hard to reach the highest positions in the entertainment circle don’t want to look at the faces of the rich in City A? And the Huo family can give you all these, what else do you want?”

"Chairman...it's not about money, I'm not because of..."

"You are with Rong Xuan because you love him, not because of his money, do you want to tell me this?" Huo Yong smiled, and the smile changed from cold to cold, "I don't want to say that kind of thing." I don’t want to hear it, you’re an adult now, your thinking should be more mature, I gave you this chance, why don’t you take it? If you really like him, then you’ll take advantage of the press conference to admit your sexuality and say you have it Lover, I will also quit the entertainment circle from now on, then not only can I accept you, but I can also give you an official identity to attend the gathering of the Huo family in the future."

Chen Qianchen's complexion became a little ugly. The purpose of the press conference was to clarify these things. For his family and parents, and to prevent Yu Yang's plot from succeeding, if he followed Huo Yong's approach, it would be convenient for him Going the other way.

"I'm sorry... can I discuss it with Rong Xuan?" Chen Qianchen said with difficulty while lowering his head.

Huo Yong smiled coldly: "Okay, I hope you can discuss and reach a good result. I will only meet with you this time. As for your answer, give it to me at the press conference."

Chen Qianchen nodded: "Then if there's nothing else... I'll leave first..."

Huo Yong did not finish speaking, tapped the table three times, and then made a "please" gesture.

The bamboo curtain outside was lifted, and a graceful waiter in a cheongsam walked in, asking Chen Qianchen to leave.

Chen Qianchen called Huo Rongxuan immediately after he walked out of Yougu House, this was the first time he called him since this period of time.

"Hey?"

Hearing Huo Rongxuan's cold voice, Chen Qianchen felt relieved. It was really too long this time, and he felt a little sad when he heard this voice again. He took a breath and said, "The message I sent you Did you see it?"

"I see it."

Hearing this answer, Chen Qianchen pursed his lower lips, but in fact, he wanted to ask him why he didn't reply since he had seen it all.

"Have you finished meeting with grandpa?" Huo Rongxuan asked.

"Hmm..." Chen Qianchen nodded slightly, "Rong Xuan, the chairman said..."

"I'm rushing here now, where are you?"

"I'm just outside the Yougu House." Chen Qianchen replied, looking around by the way, because it is a high-end place, so the outer street at the gate is also a private lot, and there are no pedestrians passing by, so naturally there is no need to worry about being watched arrive.

"Well, I still have 10 minutes, we'll talk about it when we meet." After speaking, Huo Rongxuan hung up the phone.

Chen Qianchen sighed, leaned against the wall and waited for a while, about 8 minutes later, a blue Porsche came into his sight.

The Porsche stopped in front of him, then Huo Rongxuan rolled down half of the window and said to Chen Qianchen, "Get in the car."

Chen Qianchen was a little surprised that Huo Rongxuan was driving the car himself today, but he didn't ask any further questions, and instead sat in the passenger seat.

After Chen Qianchen fastened his seat belt, Huo Rongxuan started the car again and drove out of this place.

"What did grandpa tell you?" Huo Rongxuan asked while driving.

"He asked me to quit the entertainment industry..." Chen Qianchen replied, with a hint of worry in his eyes, he could understand that this was Huo Yong's way of making things difficult, but his superficial way of making things difficult was really good-looking, saying It seems that I am an enlightened elder who is unmatched by others, but only by putting myself in the shoes of others can I really understand how difficult it is for a public figure to publicly admit his sexuality. It is to force myself to have no way out.

Huo Rongxuan gave a "tsk": "Sure enough..."

Chen Qianchen looked at him in surprise: "Really?"

"He used to...forget it..." Huo Rongxuan frowned, "Then how did you answer?"

Although Huo Rongxuan didn't finish his sentence, Chen Qianchen understood almost immediately that he was referring to Ke Yinian. Ke Yinian had said before that Huo Yong looked down on these actors, even though he didn't say it so badly in front of him today. words, but some words can be considered straightforward, and the difference is not big.

So... was Ke Yinian ever asked for this?

"Qianchen?" Seeing that Chen Qianchen didn't answer his own words, Huo Rongxuan called him.

"Oh..." Chen Qianchen came back to his senses, "Let me discuss it with you first..."

"Then what's on your mind?" Huo Rongxuan asked while driving the car.

Chen Qianchen sighed softly: "Your grandfather asked me to announce my retirement from the entertainment industry at the press conference, and to admit my sexuality in front of everyone and express that I have a lover of the same sex, Rong Xuan...it is simply impossible... "

Huo Rongxuan slowed down and said: "...Actually, maybe you can promise him, can't you?"

"What?!" Chen Qianchen looked up at him in surprise, and couldn't believe what he heard.
