Jing Zuohuai ran to the receptionist, breathless. She didn't realize who he was. After seeing that it was Jing Zuohuai, she quickly asked him to sit down and rest. Jing Zuohuai took the towel and wiped the rain off his face, then asked the five people from Sparkler.

But the lady at the front desk said she hadn't seen them for a long time and she didn't know either.

"Then, what about Mr. Xue?" Jing Zuohuai asked, "Has Mr. Xue left?" His tone sounded pleading, and the receptionist felt very distressed seeing him like this.

"Mr. Xue isn't here yet. Can I ask for you? Don't worry." After comforting him, she made a phone call and chatted with the other party before returning to his side. "Mr. Xue is here. Come with me. I'll take you to find him."

Jing Zuohuai stood up and said, "Thank you."

The receptionist took back the towel and smiled at him, "You're welcome. It's what I should do."

Jing Zuohuai was taken to Xue Jin's office. Xue Jin seemed to be preparing to leave, as his briefcase was still on the desk. After the receptionist left, Jing Zuohuai regained some consciousness before speaking.

"Mr. Xue, I'm sorry to bother you so late. I, I want to ask about Sparkler. I can't contact them, so I came here..."

Xue Jin, however, acted calmly. "I know, I know. Just relax! It looks like it's raining really hard. How come you're so wet?"

Xue Jin asked his secretary to bring him a cup of tea. "I know you have a good relationship, so it's normal for you to come to my place to look for them. But I'm sorry, everything on the Internet is true."

Jing Zuohuai suppressed his temper, "But, how is it possible? Why would He Zhijin quit the entertainment industry to become a manager?"

"Everyone has their own aspirations. Maybe he wants to try a different circle?"

Impossible! He Zhijin was his mentor in the entertainment industry, and he knew his passion for it. A beloved figure in the industry, he had been taught various acting skills by senior actor Sun since childhood, always remaining humble and respectful of the stage.

He said that he would never quit the entertainment industry, and he also promised that he would come back here one day. How could he give up so easily now!

"But he told me..."

"Xiao Jing, I hope you know that verbal promises won't last forever," Xue Jin said. "People change all the time. No one can remain consistent. You're still young and idealistic about the world and human nature. You'll understand later."

But he just didn't believe it. How could He Zhijin be willing to quit the circle?

"Knock knock." There was a knock on the door.

"Mr. Xue, I have..."

Jing Zuohuai turned around in response. It had been a month. How could everything have changed after not seeing him for a month?

His eyes suddenly turned red, and Jing Zuohuai looked at He Zhijin, who was holding a pile of documents, with heartache.

"I have a guest. I'll wait." He Zhijin instinctively wanted to leave. He didn't expect Jing Zuohuai to come here. He hadn't even changed out of casual clothes and was still in costume. It was conceivable that he was still filming on the set and ran over as soon as he heard the news.

Too impulsive!

"He..." Jing Zuohuai hurriedly chased after him, "Senior, wait for me!"

Xue Jin slowly lit a cigarette, as if he was watching a good show.

Jing Zuohuai chased him to the corridor, but He Zhijin had already entered the elevator. Jing Zuohuai watched the elevator door close with his own eyes. The elevator on the other side was stuck on the fifth floor for some unknown reason.

He gritted his teeth and went straight up the stairs!

He ran up two steps at a time, three steps at a time. He had never walked down the stairs so fast before. He was really scared now, afraid that this would be their last meeting. He had to catch up with him!

Jing Zuohuai didn't even have time to catch his breath when he reached the first floor. He hurried to the door, looking for the figure.

He was like an abandoned puppy, looking for his owner among the crowd of people leaving get off work.

"Senior!" Jing Zuohuai finally saw him and hurried forward to stop him, "Sorry, Master, we won't sit down anymore."

The rain showed no sign of stopping, but instead grew heavier. Jing Zuohuai dragged He Zhijin under the eaves to take shelter from the rain. They remained silent, as if waiting for someone to speak first.

Jing Zuohuai was so confused that he had no idea how to start.

He Zhijin noticed his deep thought and sighed helplessly, "He should still be filming on the set. Is it going well?"

The traditional costume suits him very well, highlighting his temperament. When he smiles, he should be a heroic figure, but this decadent state has its own unique charm.

Jing Zuohuai shook his head, hiding his tears and looking at him with red eyes, "Senior, you quit the team? Why, why did you..." His voice was hoarse and choked, and he couldn't believe it was his voice after he opened his mouth.

He Zhijin felt very distressed when he saw him like this. He wanted to hug him and hold him in his arms. But he couldn't. Once he did that, it would be difficult for him to continue.

"Did Chi Yang force you to do that? You guys were clearly at the peak of your career. If he wasn't mentally ill, why would he terminate the contract with you at this time?" Jing Zuohuai said to himself.

"Senior, tell me, did Xue Jin force you to sign unreasonable terms? Tell me, I can help you, really! I can't contact you, I can't contact anyone!"

"I'm really, really going to die of anxiety!"

He Zhijin knew that every time he saw his message, his heart would be broken. He had also told others not to reply to his message and not to let him know about their affairs.

But now He Zhijin didn't respond at all, and he felt very disappointed.

"Senior, please come to Yaoxing. I will communicate with them." Jing Zuohuai's tone was full of pleading.
