From the airport to the bus, after nearly a month, Lin Xi finally set foot on this vast land again. Before they went out from the passage, they saw a large group of black heads gathered around the exit from a distance. Most of them were girls, and most of them were holding various signs, but they stood aside in an orderly and quiet manner, just looking excitedly at the airport exit, as if they were waiting for something.
After considering the recent unstable situation, Lin Xi had no choice but to leave the VIP passage with Uno at the suggestion of Uno.
As soon as he got out of the VIP channel, he saw Ji Chengshu and Zhao Xian who had been waiting for an unknown how long, and Wang Fang with red eyes and pale face. Lin Xi looked at the little fat man in surprise, no... now he can no longer be called a little fat man at all.
I haven't seen him for just a month, but Wang Fang is really thinner. It was as if someone had deliberately dried him in a high-power dryer, all the fat had been pulled out of his body, and he was so thin... he looked sickly.
Although he really wanted to ask about Wang Fang's situation, Lin Xi still looked at Ji Chengshu first, and said, "I'm sorry, Ji Chengshu, this matter is my fault. But, what's going on now?"
Ji Chengshu's face still had a look of exhaustion from staying up late for a few days, but his eyes were very bright, and he seemed to be in a good mood. He took Lin Xi and Wang Fang into the car, first sighed, and then said with a smile: "Although I am really angry about this matter, fortunately, you have completely separated from Uno now, or Say... Now most of the media insist that you are friends."
Lin Xi was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly understood, and asked, "Is this made by CX Entertainment?"
"Yes, the company has spent a lot of effort to deal with these media. I remember the last time I spent so much effort, it seems to be Uno's stampede at the American airport." After a pause, Ji Chengshu said: "Now Ou Nuo should go to the company with Zhao Xian to explain this matter, don't worry, they can take care of those stubborn old people in the company."
After hearing this, Lin Xi's originally nervous mood gradually relaxed. He suddenly recalled what that deep and handsome man said to him before getting off the plane.
Everything... Is it up to him to solve it
That's what it meant.
"By the way, go back and have a good rest today, and the company will hold a press conference for you tomorrow. Here are some questions and answers that I sorted out for you that may be mentioned. You can take a look first." Ji Chengshu turned his head to the side He urged, while handing the A4 paper in his hand to Lin Xi in the back seat.
"Mm, good." Lin Xi immediately reached out to take over the densely packed papers, and started reading with his head down.
"Uno won't show up tomorrow, and you are the only one dealing with the media, can you handle it?" Pushing the silver glasses on the bridge of his nose, Ji Chengshu sighed softly: "This is not the launch conference you have attended before, At the premiere, the media may deliberately ask some difficult questions. Of course, most media companies will say hello in advance, but it is impossible to cover everything."
"I know, I will handle it properly. Thank you for your hard work."
Lin Xi quickly glanced at the questions and answers on the three sheets of paper. It has to be said that Ji Chengshu has considered almost all the issues that can be considered. Whether it's "your future plans" or "do you have a relationship beyond friendship with Uno", whether it's fierce or gentle, Ji Chengshu has given a more official answer.
And these words, some of which didn't even need to be mentioned by Ji Chengshu, Lin Xi could recite them fluently.
The official attitude in the circle is nothing more than that routine, and it mainly depends on the artist's own on-the-spot response. Of course, if he had had a strong agent like Ji Chengshu backing him when he came out with Pan Lun, he probably wouldn't have faced such an embarrassing situation at the time.
Lin Xigang secretly sighed in his heart, and then heard Ji Chengshu say: "By the way, director Wu Zhen has announced the matter of Uno's participation in "Yin Ge Jue 2" in advance today, which can be regarded as helping you clarify this matter. But Due to the suddenness of the matter, I did not sort out the questions about this aspect, I will send it to your mailbox tonight, please pay attention to check it."
Lin Xi couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, and suddenly remembered the little old man who was blowing nonsense on the set, and couldn't help but feel a little warmth in his heart. He nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, I see."
After driving for a while on the spacious airport road, the car turned a corner and drove on another road. Ji Chengshu lowered his head and didn't know who he was texting with, while Lin Xi looked down at the comprehensive and detailed answers compiled, lost in thought.
In the quiet compartment, there is only the sound of the engine humming. Occasionally, a strong cold wind blows on the window, but it can only vibrate the window and make a buzzing sound, but it is completely unable to invade the warm interior of the car.
Ji Chengshu pressed the lock screen button, and the phone screen went black immediately. He turned his head, looked at Lin Xi with a serious expression, and said, "Lin Xi, I confirmed a message just now. That photo was secretly taken by Yang Sichen."
After hearing this, Lin Xi suddenly raised his head, and looked at Ji Chengshu in surprise. The light amber pupils narrowed slightly, and Lin Xi pressed his fingers hard, pressing deep marks on the white paper.
"It's really Yang Sichen?"
Ji Chengshu nodded vigorously: "Yes. When the incident first happened, we had already got news from "Daily Entertainment Star". Their photos were obtained through a private detective. And yesterday, we finally found the You cunning guy, I learned from him that Yang Sichen hired him to follow you. From the time you turned on "Introduction to Songs 2" until you left Tian X Dynasty."
Lin Xi narrowed his eyes a little. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt the whole car slip. Fortunately, there were few vehicles on the road, so no major disaster was caused. Looking through the rearview mirror, Lin Xi was surprised to find that Wang Fang's bloodshot eye sockets turned red again at some point. However, this is not the time to ask about it.
"You just confirmed the news, did something happen to Yang Sichen?"
Ji Chengshu's face darkened in an instant: "Tianyu just announced that Yang Sichen was injured while practicing dancing, and is now resting indefinitely."
Lin Xi was taken aback for a moment: "They want to... give up Yang Sichen and show favor to CX Entertainment?"
Ji Chengshu sighed: "This may indeed be a reason. But you don't know, before Tianyu released the news today, the company had released some scandals about Yang Sichen on the Internet yesterday, suggesting to fans: Your incident may be caused by Yang Sichen. Get in the way. This is a decision passed collectively by the PR department. There must be one person to stand up and take responsibility for this matter, and the best candidate... is Yang Sichen."
Seeing that Lin Xi was silent and did not speak, Ji Chengshu thought that the other party felt a little guilty towards Yang Sichen, and he immediately added: "Of course, Yang Sichen was responsible for this matter from the beginning, so he should bear it."
After hearing Ji Chengshu's words, Lin Xi sighed helplessly, shook his head, and said, "No, Ji Chengshu, you don't understand the meaning of Tianyu. Yang Sichen this time... I'm afraid it's not as simple as Xuezang."
Ji Chengshu was startled: "You mean..."
"First of all, I absolutely don't believe in Tianyu or Pan Lun, and I don't know what Yang Sichen is doing behind the scenes. Secondly, Tianyu's method of treating Xuezang artists is definitely not as simple as ignoring them." Lin Xi closed her delicate phoenix eyes, shaking her head and sighing: "Yang Sichen, this time was abandoned by Tianyu as a pawn. This is Tianyu's consistent policy."
Ji Chengshu was silent for a long time, but did not speak again.
There was a helpless silence in the entire carriage, only the faint sound of wind blowing coldly outside the window.
After finishing the last words, Lin Xi didn't speak again. He turned his head to look out the window at the gradually dimming sky. It was the familiar street scene again, and the bright and colorful neon lights filled his eyes, as if faintly showing how turbid the inside of this glamorous circle was.
After watching for an unknown amount of time, Lin Xi slowly lowered his eyes, hiding all the emotions in his eyes.
As soon as the car entered the CX apartment, before it stopped, Lin Xi felt the trembling of Lizi's mobile phone in his pocket. He took out his phone and opened the page, and suddenly saw the familiar name, which lit up on the flickering screen.
Uno: The matter has been dealt with. I can't be there tomorrow. You should rest early today. I'm not going back to the apartment tonight, take care of yourself, good night.
A warm current suddenly rushed from the heart to the surroundings. Lin Xi leaned back on the soft and elastic seat, and his originally stiff body gradually relaxed. He raised his cell phone, read the text message carefully, and couldn't help but twitch a slight curve on his lips, and smiled slightly.
Lin Xi quickly replied a text message, and then put the phone back in his pocket.
But at this moment, on the 73rd floor of Chu's Building, which is nearly half of City B away, a man with an indifferent expression was standing in front of the large floor-to-ceiling glass windows, looking down at the dazzling night view of the entire City B with no expression on his face.
Suddenly, he heard the buzzing and vibrating sound of the mobile phone on the large mahogany desk beside him. Uno picked up the mobile phone as quickly as possible and swiped open the screen. When his line of sight touched the short line of black words, he was stunned for a moment.
Lin Xi: If you don't return at night, remember it once. You take care of yourself too, good night.
A graceful and gentle arc was slowly drawn on the edge of his lips, Uno carefully looked at the line of black words, and after a long time, he put the phone back on the table. As soon as he stopped, the mahogany door behind him was suddenly pushed open. At the same time, Zhao Xian's voice of complaining sounded in the quiet lounge.
"Hey, A Nuo, what do you mean by this! Chu Jinjie didn't come back, and those directors really took themselves as a dish." While talking, Zhao Xian walked to Uno's side, and continued: "But don't be angry, they're just clowns, they only talk innocuously, and getting angry with them is... Eh? What happened? You seem to be in a good mood."
I saw a calm and elegant smile blooming on Uno's noble and elegant face. In the deep eyes, there seemed to be stars shining brightly, shining with a faint blue light. The whole person is in a state of leisure and joy, which is completely different from the man in the conference room on the 74th floor just now exuding biting air-conditioning!
Without answering Zhao Xian's question, Uno casually cast down his eyes and glanced at him, as if he didn't care about you.
Zhao Xian was stunned, and after confirming that he couldn't get the other party's answer, he became angry and said: "It's true that I lost my lover when I had a lover! I shouldn't have asked you to confess your love back then, no! I shouldn't be your bastard's manager! Look at what kind of life I have lived in these years! If I was looking for Zhu Qing, why would I need to suffer from the coldness of your iceberg... "
Under the same vast night sky, the dark clouds were gradually blown away by the evening wind, and the moonlight, as cool as water, gently spread over the land again. It's only a distance away from a city, some people are happily listening to the manager's nagging for ten years, while some... can only curl up in the corner helplessly and fearfully, tears mottled.
No matter how beautiful the face was, under such a panicked expression, it could only make people feel pale.
As for these, Lin Xi, who just came out of the bathroom, naturally didn't know. He took a towel to dry the water droplets on his hair, and after soaking in a comfortable hot bath, the fatigue of the journey gradually disappeared.
Walking to the computer desk, Lin Xi entered a few Chinese characters in the search box. When his eyes touched the dazzling text on the screen, his complexion gradually turned cold. He sighed helplessly, picked up the mobile phone beside him, and made a call.
After a brief beep, a weak voice sounded from the listening hole.
"Hey... Boss."
Lin Xi got up from the computer chair, walked to the window, and pulled open the heavy beige curtains.
"Wang Fang, what you look like today... what happened?"
As soon as Lin Xi finished speaking, the phone fell silent. After a long silence that seemed to freeze the air, Wang Fang's tired voice sounded: "Boss... Nothing happened to me. It has nothing to do with you, it's just my own problem."
The little fat man who suddenly appeared in front of the door half a year ago suddenly appeared in his mind. Everything is as vivid as if it happened yesterday. Lin Xi's elegant phoenix eyes froze slightly, and asked seriously: "Wang Fang, what's the matter?"
"..."
After waiting for a long time, Lin Xi did not wait for Wang Fang's answer. Just when he was about to ask again solemnly, he suddenly heard the little fat man's crying voice coming from the listening hole: "Boss, it's really not your fault, it's me who is too cowardly, it's me It's so useless...”
Hearing the hoarse voice, Lin Xi was taken aback for a moment, before she could speak, she heard Wang Fang continue: "Xiaohua... Xiaohua broke up with me." With a suppressed cry, Wang Fang said : "It never occurred to me that she came to date me from the very beginning just to get close to her idol..."
"I know, I'm fat, ugly, and I don't have any skills. Girls look down on me. But, but... But Xiaohua, she is really good to me. She knits a scarf for me, although that Just a failure to knit a scarf for her idol. But... that was the first gift I ever received. She really, she really was the first girl who wanted to be with me!"
Wang Fang's voice stopped abruptly, and after a long time, he slowly suppressed the crying in his throat: "Boss, I know it's the fault of that bastard Yang Sichen, who wanted to frame you. Hua broke up, but I really didn't disclose any news about you! If... if you feel that it is risky for me to continue to be your assistant, I will resign voluntarily... I... I will resign now... "
It seemed that the other party made up his mind to say it, and there was no sound on the other end of the phone, not even a little faint breathing.
Lin Xi slowly loosened his grip on the curtains. After a long time, he sighed leisurely and said, "Wang Fang, I have told you more than once. Not everyone needs to live so shrewdly." , So smart. In this circle, when you have those things you don’t have now, what you need to give will be thousands of times what you get.”
Lin Xi raised his head and looked at the brightly lit high-rise buildings.
"I never blamed you, and I never doubted you. If you want to say, the worst thing you have done in your life, it is..." Lin Xi smiled and said, " Having a girlfriend like this, and treating her as a treasure. Breaking up with you is her loss, and definitely not yours. "
"Uuuuuu... Boss, I..."
"Wang Fang." Lin Xi abruptly interrupted Wang Fang's words.
He drew the curtains to block the flashy and luxurious world outside the window, and said in a serious tone: "Wang Fang, now I will give you a chance to choose. The first one, if you want, I can call you right now." Call Xu Qi, I believe he will be able to help you find a good position in Tianyu. The second type..." Yan Hong's lips were slightly raised, and in the darkness, Lin Xi showed a gentle smile: "Take me tomorrow morning My favorite Xiaolongbao, come and pick me up, tomorrow... I'm going to fight a fierce battle."
As soon as the voice fell, Lin Xi hung up the phone immediately, not giving the other party a chance to say a word.
All the bustling and empty scenes were blocked by the thick beige European-style curtains. Lin Xi walked to the computer desk and reached out to press the notebook. As the last bit of light disappeared, the whole room immediately fell into darkness, only the bright moonlight shot into the room through the light gauze curtains, illuminating Lin Xi's way forward.
Going to the bed and lying down, Lin Xi pulled on the thin duvet, and soon fell asleep, as if she wasn't bothered at all by what she just said.
The next day, when the dawn of the morning sun struggled up from the distant horizon, Lin Xi opened his eyes early. After quickly washing up, Lin Xi went downstairs immediately after the time agreed with Ji Chengshu last night.
As soon as he walked out of the apartment door, he looked up, and saw a handsome and lovely man touching his head, holding a plastic bag in his hand, looking at him with a naive look.
"Hey boss... You suddenly want Xiaolongbao. I don't have any ingredients. I only have the biscuits I made early this morning. Look... can I do it?"
Lin Xi stood blankly in front of the door of the apartment, without moving for a long time. Under the sun, the scruffy and fat young man with the crew cut half a year ago has now been washed away, and before he noticed it, he has become a piece of rough jade waiting to be polished.
"Hey boss?" Wang Fang blinked his glasses, raised his head in a daze, and looked up at the young man on the three steps.
Without further hesitation, Lin Xi took a few steps forward and took the clean and shiny lunch box from Wang Fang's hand.
"You little fat man, where's the promised steamed bun?!" Lin Xi feigned anger.
"QAQ" Wang Fang immediately widened his eyes innocently: "Boss! You are bullying!"
After experiencing this cold current that swept across the entire land of China, the temperature in City B gradually picked up, showing signs of spring. The cold winter is over, and even the bright sunshine is revealing a destined warm and warm tomorrow.
