In the already quiet compartment, it was a little quieter because of the sudden words of the little fat man. The air gradually froze, the corners of Lin Xi's mouth twitched slightly, and even Ji Chengshu, who was sitting in the driver's seat and concentrating on driving, couldn't help shaking his hands, causing the black Buick, which had been moving smoothly, to slip again due to force majeure human factors. Fortunately, with its good and safe performance, it did not cause any major disasters.

However, Wang Fang didn't seem to perceive the awkward and stiff atmosphere in the car at all. The little fat man grinned cheerfully and showed a silly smile. Two dimples suddenly appeared on his cheeks due to the loss of fat. Kind of cute. He raised his hand and handed the phone to Lin Xi, and said without hesitation: "Boss, look, I just posted Weibo today, so many fans replied! Especially your fan of the Immortal Sect, super There are many."

Lin Xi's face, which was as delicate as a perfect work of art, did not show any fluctuations. With a dark face, he took Wang Fang's phone over, and swipe the screen familiarly to scan the comments on the phone.

From the check-in of the Immortal Sect, to the greeting from Mrs. Ou's delegation, Lin Xi felt more and more pain in his forehead, and probably understood... what the so-called "Immortal Sect" is, an existence that transcends cult organizations.

He returned the phone to Wang Fang in a slow manner, leaned back on the soft and comfortable seat, raised his head and looked at the little fat man calmly, only to see that the latter's cheeks were still flushed, and he looked very excited look like.

Lin Xi only felt a pain in a tendon on his forehead.

With such an assistant...it really adds to the chaos if it doesn't help.

"What's the matter, Lin Xi? When did you have another fan organization with a more distinctive name?" Ji Chengshu raised his eyes and looked at Lin Xi in the rearview mirror, and asked.

He kept driving with his eyes straight ahead, and didn't read the comments that were so numerous that he kept vibrating his phone, so he didn't understand... what the legendary Immortal Cult was.

Lin Xi sighed softly, with a helpless tone: "It's related to Uno. It's not something important, don't worry, the heat should cool down in a few days."

Ji Chengshu was taken aback when he heard the words, but he didn't realize what it meant to be "related to Uno". He was stunned for a while, chewing on the words "Immortal Cult" over and over again in his mind, and suddenly he understood in a flash of inspiration, and blurted out: "A fan YY fell in love with your ambiguous relationship with Uno?"

This kind of frank and honest words did not cover up at all, and directly and mercilessly lifted the hazy veil that covered the facts. After listening to Ji Chengshu's words, Lin Xi's ears felt hot for some reason, he coughed a few times, and said "hmm" casually, as an admission.

Ji Chengshu also tilted his mouth helplessly, feeling ridiculous and taking it for granted.

Over the years, there has never been a lack of dirty things in the circle. Although it is completely concealed from the fans outside the circle, they, the insiders, naturally know a lot. Unspoken rules, homosexuality, etc., these are many in the circle, and they were once considered to be terrible disasters that destroy an artist.

But... maybe he really can't keep up with the trend of the times.

In recent years, I don’t know why, there is a fan group that likes the ambiguous relationship between male and male stars... Oh yes, it seems to be called CP fans, and it has gradually grown in places that no one has noticed.

When these CP fans appeared in the sight of the public and began to be widely active on major websites, BBS and even in real life, it was really like a sudden spring breeze overnight. I don’t know where the strong influence came from, but there was no one. Strength can rival them.

Ji Chengshu really couldn't understand. Just relying on some YY, how can it be possible to have some unscientific illusions about two celebrities who may be just friends, or even pinch each other when they meet

As the ace manager Ji Chengshu who has several big-name stars under his hands, he has seen CP fans, and...has seen a lot. These fans generally have extremely enthusiastic loyalty. In most cases, they will not have any impact on the celebrity personally, and will even increase the fans and exposure of the two, so he is quite happy to hear about it. But... if the opponent is Uno...

"It should be the impact of this MV. You don't have to think too much about it. At least it's not a bad thing. It's the second time I've seen someone who can bond with Uno." Ji Chengshu thought for a while, and then Added: "I'll talk to Uno, you don't have to worry about his opinion."

Lin Xi was taken aback, and asked subconsciously, "The second time?"

Ji Chengshu nodded, and explained: "The last time was with Ye Yiyi, it happened six or seven years ago. They were deliberately creating scandals in the company in order to nominate Ye Yiyi for the Golden Bull Award." Ji Chengshu The words of Chengshu came to an abrupt end, and he suddenly let out an "ah", as if he suddenly remembered something: "In this way, you are the first one to be assisted by fans with Honora Lang." The tone sighed, and the ending sound was drawn out .

"..."

Lin Xi lowered his eyes silently. For some reason, he actually heard a different kind of... pride in Ji Chengshu's tone

Ji Chengshu probably also realized that he shouldn't use such a "cheerful" tone to talk about this seemingly serious issue, so he cleared his throat, changed the topic and said, "By the way, after this MV shooting, you You have half a month of vacation, what are you going to do?"

Lin Xi didn't want to dismantle Ji Chengshu's stage, so he followed the steps given by the other party and said, "It's been a bit cold recently, and I've photographed a little bit more. My fans' exposure has been a bit high in the past two months. So I plan to cool down the media and fans first, and rest at home for a while."

Ji Chengshu was taken aback when he heard the words, he didn't expect Lin Xi to make such a choice.

Although Lin Xi has debuted for more than a year, but in terms of his past experience, he is still a rookie who has never tasted the sweetness of instant fame. In this period of high popularity and surging fans, he was a little surprised that the opponent chose to retreat behind the scenes for a period of time instead of chasing after the victory.

"Are you going to stay at home like this?"

"Um."

Ji Chengshu secretly looked at Lin Xi's expression from the rearview mirror with no expression on his face, only to see that the other party tilted his head slightly and lowered his eyes to look out of the window. Her elegant and beautiful eyes were quietly looking out of the window, with a calm and indifferent appearance, as if she really had no special plans.

Ji Chengshu sighed lightly, and said with some agreement: "Your choice is indeed good. You became famous too quickly and had too much exposure, but you didn't have a work that could be sold. It's really easy for you to be attacked by others like this." Red-eyed jealousy. That's why I suppressed all the brand endorsements and program announcements I received recently, and gave you a vacation."

A mature and clear voice slowly sounded in the carriage, Wang Fang turned his head to look at Ji Chengshu in surprise when he heard the words, his small eyes showed a trace of seriousness and seriousness. He thought that Brother Ji's sudden holiday for the boss was really just to let him take a break, but he didn't expect to have such a reason.

The little fat man took a deep breath, and for the first time he really felt the difference between a small assistant and an ace manager. He looked at Ji Chengshu with some admiration, pricked up his ears and waited for the other's next sentence.

Ji Chengshu, on the other hand, was so absorbed in driving that he didn't notice the awe-inspiring expression of the little fat man next door, he slightly turned the steering wheel, turned a corner, and continued, "But you can also choose to participate in the company's artist training. Although it is only specially prepared for artists who are about to debut, it is also a place to exercise yourself and cultivate your communication skills."

Just as Ji Chengshu spoke, Lin Xi quickly replied, "No."

He slowed down the car in surprise, and couldn't help turning his head to look at Lin Xi. Seeing that the other party's elegant eyes were like deep lake water, Dai Mei frowned slightly, she also raised her eyes and looked at Ji Chengshu, and said, "It's not worth the gain to be jealous."

As soon as these eight short words were uttered, Ji Chengshu immediately understood what the other party meant.

He clenched his slender fingers holding the steering wheel slightly, with annoyance and regret welling up in his heart.

He originally only wanted to let Lin Xi build a good relationship with the newcomers who were still undergoing training, even if he encountered some calculations and suppression, he had learned something.

But... He actually forgot that Lin Xi's social circle had already been shaped under the leadership of him, Shu Shan and even some unknown factors before he knew it. Whether it's Li He, Wu Zhen, He Shu Shan, Zhu Qing, or even Uno, these people are already doomed, Lin Xi will never be able to stand on the same starting line as those real newcomers to compete on an equal footing.

Suddenly understanding in his heart, Ji Chengshu suddenly gasped, feeling a little weird for no reason.

Why didn't he find out before that when Lin Xi... actually had various inextricable connections with these people who stood at the top of the entertainment circle. It all happened so logically, as if Lin Xi was supposed to walk side by side with these radiant and star-studded people.

...In the past few months, even his manager...hasn't felt the slightest bit awkward.

But at this time, Lin Xi, who was leaning back in his chair, didn't notice Ji Chengshu's abnormal expression at all. His light amber pupils, as pale as green lotuses, reflected the colorful lights and shadows of the city, as gorgeous as stars, but they were not contaminated by the noisy and chaotic outside world, and only made people feel a kind of elegant and pure indifference and detachment.

He raised his eyes and looked at the gray sky quietly, his eyes were deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Under the night sky covered by smog and the bright moonlight, the noise and bustle of the city engulfs many greedy people who are no longer peaceful. Simplicity and innocence are buried in the loess one by one. Under the temptation of money and interests, those ugly faces who are blinded by profit have no room to hide.

Standing in front of the bright and reflective French windows, Pan Lun hung up the phone with a cold face. Although under the erosion of the years and the cruelty of reality, wrinkles that are so subtle that they can be seen with the naked eye gradually climbed up his face, but it is undeniable that Pan Lun still has a handsome and mature face .

But what is a little unexpected is that on those handsome and straight faces, a pair of cloudy and dim eyes seemed to be a ball of black and smelly stagnant water, filled with a lot of hatred and anger, but was suppressed by the owner of these eyes. Suppressed, just waiting for an opportunity to erupt.

A pair of white and weak arms climbed up from Pan Lun's outstretched hands, and his well-manicured nails walked on Pan Lun's dark brown wool pajamas, like a nimble and agile snake gently slipped in from the collar and penetrated into Pan Lun's neck. Len's empty chest. Those slender hands caressed and teased Pan Lun's chest provocatively, the movements were charming and moving.

Pan Lun grabbed the arm that was making trouble in front of his chest, and then a delicate and beautiful face timidly poked out from behind him. A debauched look.

"Pan... Mr. Pan..."

The boy who didn't seem to be in his twenties bit his bright red lower lip and opened his mouth, his voice was low-pitched and soul-stirring, and he looked timid and panicked, like a little lamb that was caught and escaped from the sheepfold.

Pan Lun turned his head and saw such a beautiful woman who was about to cry, he couldn't help swallowing, only feeling a burst of heat under his body. He opened his mouth and moaned twice, then lowered his voice: "You little thing, let's see how I deal with you tonight."

As soon as he finished speaking, he reached out and picked up the thin and small boy and walked towards the big bed in the middle of the room. It was completely different from the man who was still angry on the phone just now.

While pretending to tap Pan Lun's chest lightly, the boy threw a coquettish wink in refusal and shame. To be able to hang such a handsome-looking benefactor, he naturally had to firmly grasp it. Thinking of this, the boy wrapped his enchanting body like a water snake even harder.

For a while, the red waves rolled, and the house was full of spring.

Pan Lun felt relieved with the little fairy, but he was worried about the man who was holding a hung up phone with a sad face.

The middle-aged man with a square face lost all his hair in a hurry. His head was full of oil, and when he found that he had scratched a few more sparse hairs, he was so angry that he wanted to drop the phone. Forget about resigning.

"Old Chen, what's the matter?! Last time we managed to wipe his ass clean, we were scolded by the board of directors, and he took the blame for it. Now he is rushing us to do something again. "The man with the square face slapped the table and gritted his teeth angrily.

The middle-aged man named Lao Chen looks kind and friendly, and he seems to be easy to talk to. But at this moment, he seemed to be very angry, but he couldn't vent the anger in his heart, so he could only say calmly: "Isn't it? Last time we finally made things right, and CX didn't care about us. Now Pan Always wanting us to do small tricks, this is simply embarrassing us, Lao Guo."

Lao Guo took out a metal cigarette case from his suit pocket, took out one and lit it, took a deep breath and slowly exhaled the smoke, and said helplessly: "Originally in the competition with CX in the past few years, we Basically, he was at a disadvantage, and it’s okay to leave with Shu Shan, but now that even Qi Wenyuan is gone, Pan Lun still thinks that Tian Yu is the leader in the circle? Huh?!”

Lao Chen hurriedly reminded: "Keep your voice down! Pan Lun has a lot of eyes and ears in the company, don't be caught by him later." He paused, sighed heavily, and said, "Oh, now I have to work in the company If you stay here, you still have to listen to Pan Lun."

Lao Guo dusted off the cigarette ash, shook his head and said helplessly, "This time I can only be more careful."

The two looked at each other with a bitter smile, then shook their heads together and said nothing more.

Tonight, the public relations department on the 23rd floor of Tianyu was lit all night, and no one was sleeping. Numerous figures walked back and forth under the light, busy, making phone calls one by one, delivering emails one by one, and all the hands kept moving, sitting numbly with the orders issued by the superior.

It's like a rigid and rigid part.

Li Feng came out of the bathroom and picked up a soft towel to wipe off his wet hair. He stepped up and walked to the computer, intending to take a last look at the latest news on the Internet today.

Just after late autumn and early winter, City B in the north has already turned on the heating without hesitation, and you can walk around the room at will just wearing a thin pajamas. Li Feng tapped his fingers on the keyboard quickly, and he logged into the internal account he used to enter the news management section of the home page of Qiandu.com.

Before he had time to check the news under his authority, he suddenly heard the mobile phone placed on the table ringing. Li Feng picked up the phone, and when he saw the flashing name on the phone, he felt like the sky was falling—

The editor-in-chief called in the middle of the night, so he must be working overtime again!

In order to keep this job with an upper-middle salary in City B, Li Feng reluctantly pressed the answer button and gave a hello.

"Li Feng, hurry up and write a gossip press release of less than 1,000 characters and post it on the homepage. Just post it in the search rankings on the right side of the picture. Don't be too eye-catching and don't be too inconspicuous. Use accurate words. Don't be too sharp. I have already sent the relevant content to your mailbox, just read and write."

Li Feng was very surprised by this completely different request from usual, and he couldn't help asking in doubt: "Editor-in-chief... what does this mean?"

Don't use sharp language, don't put it in the big picture, and don't be eye-catching or inconspicuous, and even stipulate relevant content? What kind of strange gossip news is this? Who is it to blackmail or to praise? Why is the attitude so vague

The editor-in-chief on the other end of the phone also sighed, said something plausible, and hung up the phone in a hurry, leaving only Li Feng who was confused while opening the mailbox, muttering: "What do you mean the water in the circle is too deep... What does the editor-in-chief mean by this..."

As Li Feng was speaking, the mouse quickly moved to the inbox to receive and download the latest emails. He is still wondering why the editor-in-chief of this nearly 500K word document wants him to compress it into a small newsletter of less than 1000 words. He has not yet come up with an answer, and suddenly only sees a familiar and unfamiliar photo appearing on the first page of the document .

Li Feng widened his eyes and shouted in horror:

"Lin Xi?!"
