Xie Yuxin nodded and sent Du Xi to the entrance of the secret garden, where a blue Buick commercial vehicle was already parked.

After Du Xi left, Xie Yuxin glanced at Fang Zhicheng and said calmly, "How does it feel to be in close contact with a star?"

Fang Zhicheng shrugged and said loudly: "Nothing more than that!"

There was a flash of cleverness in Du Xi's eyes.

Chapter 0071: Innocently on the Headlines

After sending Fang Zhicheng to the gate of the community, Xie Yuxin sighed secretly as she watched Fang Zhicheng's gradually disappearing back.

Du Xi pointed out sharply just now that she might have a crush on Fang Zhicheng. Although she decisively denied it, Xie Yuxin knew that she had had the thought in her mind.

Although Fang Zhicheng is a few years younger than herself, he is very experienced in dealing with people, and most importantly, he has a good relationship with Lele. If you put aside some vulgar ideas, Fang Zhicheng is indeed a good candidate for a husband.

But Xie Yuxin had experienced a failed marriage, and it was difficult for her to muster up the courage to touch this topic again, so whenever she needed to face this issue, she would decisively avoid it.

However, Lele is getting older, and Xie Yuxin knows that without her father's company, it will definitely affect her growth. Xie Yuxin is in a state of self-blame, entanglement, and worry. She wants to change, but she dares not to change.

Perhaps because he thought about something during the day, he dreamed about it at night. Fang Zhicheng had an amazing dream that night. He and Du Xi were walking in the garden, becoming a couple that everyone envied. Du Xi held his fingers, put her cheek on his shoulder, and kept saying gentle words. Fang Zhicheng stared at her incomparable pretty face and was about to kiss her when he suddenly found Xie Yuxin staring at him affectionately not far away. He stopped immediately.

Du Xi asked Fang Zhicheng, do you like Yu Xin

Fang Zhicheng hesitated for a long time and said the truth, I like you two!

Du Xi widened her eyes and scolded with tears in her eyes, how can you be so shameless, how can you like two people at the same time, and we are best friends.

Fang Zhicheng suddenly gritted his teeth, mustered up the courage and said loudly, so what if we are best friends? If I like you two and you two like you, why can't the three of us be together!

“Bang!”

Du Xi decisively swung out his hand and hit Fang Zhicheng hard on the face, waking him up from his daring dream.

Fang Zhicheng subconsciously touched the saliva at the corner of his mouth and found that the mobile phone on the bedside table was vibrating at a high speed. Knowing that this was the culprit that turned his erotic dream into a nightmare, he sighed helplessly and answered the call.

Zhu Youming called and exclaimed, "Old Four, you are really good, you have become a celebrity!"

It was still dawn. Fang Zhicheng looked at the time and it was only five o'clock. He frowned and said, "What celebrity? Are you sure?"

Zhu Youming shook the newspaper in his hand and read softly: "'Celebrity Du Xi Meets Her Lover at Night'. Yesterday, the popular female star Du Xi had a private meal with a man in an elegant restaurant in Yinzhou City. During the meal, the two showed their affection, and Du Xi even kissed the man..."

The more Fang Zhicheng listened, the more sober he became. He finally realized what had happened. He must have been secretly photographed while having dinner at the Secret Garden last night. He said with a smile, "My name wasn't mentioned, was it?"

Zhu Youming read to the end of the article and said slowly: "'The man is not an insider. According to the reporter's investigation, he is a civil servant of the Yinzhou Municipal Party Committee'... Although your name is not mentioned, because of the photos and some information, anyone who is familiar with you can probably guess that the person who had a scandal with Du Xi must be you, Fang Zhicheng."

Fang Zhicheng was speechless: "I just had a meal with her yesterday, but I didn't expect to cause such a big trouble."

Zhu Youming shook his head and said complacently, "Don't hide it. The photo of Du Xi kissing you was published in the newspaper. Is this just a meal?"

Fang Zhicheng knew that he couldn't explain it to Zhu Youming, so he sighed and said, "If you don't believe it, forget it."

Zhu Youming chuckled and said, "Old Four, this is a good thing. There are countless people who are willing to have a scandal with Du Xi. Now that you have become famous, why don't you quit your job and join the entertainment industry? Although you are not as handsome as me, with a little packaging, you can still be a talented artist."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and said, "I'll go and consult. This matter can be big or small. Although I'm not afraid, I'm afraid of affecting Miss Du's reputation."

After hanging up Zhu Youming's phone, Fang Zhicheng called Xie Yuxin's mobile number. The call was not connected. After waiting for a while, Xie Yuxin replied and asked softly, "What's the matter so early?"

Fang Zhicheng told Xie Yuxin about the scandal between him and Du Xi. Xie Yuxin pondered for a moment and said calmly, "So that's how it is. Du Xi has a movie coming out recently. Maybe the marketing team is deliberately using the momentum to hype it up. Don't worry. Because if someone really deliberately made trouble, you would have been named in the news a long time ago."

Fang Zhicheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Although I didn't mention anyone by name, everyone who knows me knows it was me."

Xie Yuxin stretched lazily and said, "Don't think too much. It's not easy to become a celebrity. However, I will communicate with Du Xi and ask her to pay attention to the direction of public opinion and try not to involve you."

After ending the call with Xie Yuxin, Fang Zhicheng thought of the saying that the entertainment industry is bottomless. It is indeed true. If I am not careful, I will become a tool in the hands of others. I should be more careful in the future. Thinking of Du Xi's unusual behavior in the restaurant last night, Fang Zhicheng realized that it was deliberately done for the paparazzi hiding in the dark.

Du Xi is indeed not that simple. She is a smart artist who is good at hyping herself and taking advantage of the Internet.

Fang Zhicheng thought to himself that he was still infatuated with, sympathized with, and understood Du Xi yesterday, which was really stupid.

Du Xi's influence was too strong. When it was working hours, the news gradually spread. Fang Zhicheng received calls from several people, including Zhao Qingya, Qin Yuming, and even Xu Jiao. Fang Zhicheng said he didn't know and pushed the matter away. Although his boss Song Wendi asked him openly, he also simply hinted that Fang Zhicheng should pay attention to his private life. Although Fang Zhicheng is not a public figure in the traditional sense, he represents the secretary of the municipal party committee. If his image is too frivolous, it will inevitably bring shame to the secretary of the municipal party committee.

This piece of entertainment news troubled Fang Zhicheng for half a month, until Du Xi's new movie was successfully released and achieved super high box office, the news's popularity gradually died down.

Although Fang Zhicheng did not take the opportunity to hype himself, because of this trend, he became a playboy in the eyes of people in the Municipal Party Committee compound. This made Fang Zhicheng extremely depressed. The feeling of taking the blame was really unpleasant.

In the afternoon, Wang Ke came over to hand in a document. Fang Zhicheng chatted with him for a while and asked Wang Ke if he knew anyone who needed a tutor. Recently, Fang Zhicheng helped Lu Wanyu find a few part-time jobs, but relatively speaking, they were not very good, such as serving dishes in some restaurants, with low wages and tiring work. Although Lu Wanyu could endure hardships, Fang Zhicheng was reluctant to let her go.

Wang Ke stared at Fang Zhicheng for a few seconds and said with a smile, "You must have heard from somewhere that I'm looking for a tutor recently, right?"

Fang Zhicheng laughed twice and explained, "I have a distant cousin who has a difficult life because of some problems at home. She is a junior at Yinzhou University and has very good academic performance, so I took the initiative to recommend her to you."

"I have a high school classmate whose daughter needs a tutor. I can introduce her to you. But his requirements are very strict. I can only make a recommendation and he still needs to conduct a strict review." Wang Ke said with difficulty.

Fang Zhicheng nodded and said confidently: "My cousin is definitely capable. She is now a junior student at Yinzhou University, majoring in English. I believe she can meet the requirements."

"Female tutor?" Wang Ke's face brightened a little. "When there is a time, I will arrange it and let her go for the interview, okay?"

Fang Zhicheng raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "Why is it so troublesome to find a tutor? I even have to have an interview?"
