The car slowly stopped downstairs of Yangxing Building.

"Then I'll go first." Xie Yang stretched out his hand to open the car door.

"Wait a minute." Qiu Xing held Jie Yang's hand to open the door, "I... I asked Master Liao to make pigeon soup."

Xie Yang turned his head to look at Qiu Xing, suppressed his laughter, and said politely, "Wait for me to have lunch together at noon? I will be less busy and go over earlier to accompany you."

Qiu Xing was satisfied and then let go of his hand.

Xie Yang leaned over and kissed Qiu Xing, opened the door and got out of the car, bent down and waved to Qiu Xing who was in the car, then closed the door and took a step back, knocked on the glass of the driver's seat, and signaled Zhou Miao to drive.

Zhou Miao glanced at Qiu Xing: "Boss..."

Qiu Xing originally wanted to watch Jie Yang go into the building, but when he saw this, he frowned and finally compromised, saying, "Let's go."

Zhou Miao started the car.

Xie Yang took another step back and watched the car drive away. He did not withdraw his gaze until the car turned around the green belt and was out of sight. He then led Wu Shui towards the interior of Yangxing.

Suddenly, something flashed in my peripheral vision. As soon as Xie Yang stopped, Wu Shui noticed him and ran towards the direction where the light came from. The other two bodyguards disguised as passers-by assigned by Qiu Xing to Xie Yang immediately stepped forward to protect Xie Yang.

"What? I, I'm a reporter! A reporter! I just took a picture."

A skinny little man was grabbed out from behind a large billboard by Wu Shui like a chicken. He was holding a camera in his hand, with a confused and anxious expression, and he kept struggling.

Xie Yang waved to the two bodyguards beside him, stepped over, looked the reporter up and down, motioned Wu Shui to let go, and asked, "Whose reporter are you?"

The reporter glanced at Jie Yang, smiled guiltily, replied with a name, and then quickly explained: "I didn't mean to secretly take pictures of you. I originally wanted to take pictures of Ke Lan. After his crime film in the middle of the year became a hit, he took on a big-budget costume drama. I wanted to take pictures of him, and it was just a coincidence that I took pictures of you... a coincidence."

"What did you use to create the reflection just now?"

"Ah? Reflection, what reflection?" The reporter was confused, and then suddenly reacted, taking out a delicate small mirror from his pocket, "But, it might be this, I accidentally took this out when I was taking something out... Damn, it turned out to be this." He said with a look of annoyance and stuffed the mirror into his backpack.

Zero points for acting.

Xie Yang looked at the reporter's expression and said meaningfully, "Don't take pictures like this anymore. Qiu Xing became very nervous about me after my last accident and arranged a lot of bodyguards for me. These three are the ones you can see, and there are some you can't see. If you do something like this that may cause misunderstanding again, I'm afraid you'll get hurt accidentally." After saying that, he gestured to Wu Shui and turned to walk towards Yang Xing.

Wu Shui hurriedly followed.

After they entered the elevator of Shangyang Bank, Wu Shui couldn't help but ask, "Boss, why didn't you ask that reporter to delete the photos he took?"

"There's nothing to delete." Xie Yang looked at himself and his bodyguards reflected on the elevator door, "Go search the media that the reporter just mentioned works for."

Wu Shui agreed.

After arriving at Yangxing, Xie Yang first held a meeting with the company's top management to learn about the development of Yangxing during the period when he was not in charge, and then talked with Qin Cheng alone about the next work arrangements.

Qin Cheng was beaming with joy. After sitting down in Jie Yang's office, he immediately said, "You've come back at the perfect time. The rehearsal for the Spring Festival Gala is about to begin. You need to get ready. Also, "I See Xuanyuan" has decided to be released during the Spring Festival."

Xie Yang was surprised: "Spring Festival? So soon? I thought "I See Xuanyuan" would be online in March or April next year."

"I thought so at first, but Director Zhou said that the filming and post-production went smoothly and the film was released ahead of schedule, so we decided to release it ahead of schedule. We are now contacting and scheduling it, and it will most likely be released on the first day of the new year, squeezing in the Spring Festival time slot."

The first day of the new year is the day after Valentine's Day.

Xie Yang nodded in understanding and asked, "Do you want me to cooperate with the promotion?"

"Yes, if it's released during the Spring Festival, we'll have to start promoting it in January, and we'll need your cooperation in running events."

"Can."

Qin Cheng continued, "There is also the spring advertising and poster shoot for brand D. I negotiated with the other party and decided to shoot it in China. The other party agreed very straightforwardly."

Xie Yang laughed: "It seems that the last discrimination incident scared them."

Qin Cheng also found it funny: "That's right, they are obviously scared. They were very easy to talk to this time, and from what I heard, they seemed to want to renew your contract. You probably don't know that your popularity abroad is almost higher than Edie's. That song "Bigism" has dominated the charts for a long time and has become a representative of anti-discrimination. Now whenever anti-discrimination is mentioned on the Internet, it's "Bigism". It's very lively. Your fans abroad all hope that you can release a similar new song or a Y-language album."

"Let's talk about this later. Let's work on the new song that will be released on New Year's Day."

Speaking of new songs, Qin Cheng suddenly felt more relieved: "I was just hesitating whether to urge you to release a new work, and you took the initiative to come up with a new song. It really saves trouble to manage an artist like you who is considerate of the agent."

Xie Yang, who wrote the new song not out of consideration for his agent, said: "...It's what I should do. I can't just keep slacking off and wasting your efforts."

After talking about the recent work arrangements, Qin Cheng put down the schedule and asked, "When are you going to resume your artist activities? I have a lot of good endorsements, magazine shoots, and performances here. They are all very good resources. They are also willing to wait for you. They are very sincere."

Xie Yang thought about it for a moment and replied, "After the New Year, in March. By then, Qiu Xing's physical condition should have completely stabilized."

Qin Cheng was very satisfied with this arrangement. He chatted with Jie Yang for a few more words before saying goodbye and leaving.

When they went to Rongding for lunch at noon, Wu Shui reported the search results to Jie Yang.

“It is a very small entertainment self-media company, which was established only a year ago and mainly operates on WeChat public accounts and Weibo.”

Xie Yang nodded and ordered, "Check that reporter again."

Wu Shui was very alert: "Is there something wrong with that reporter?"

"No, I'm worried that there might be something wrong with them. It's always better to be careful."

Wu Shui understood and nodded.

The elevator arrived and Xie Yang stepped out.

Qiu Xing, who was guarding the elevator door, immediately asked, "Were you secretly photographed?"

Xie Yang paused and turned to look at Wu Shui.

Wu Shui: “…” He shook his head slightly, indicating that he was not the one who informed on the secret.

"It wasn't Wu Shui who said that. It was the other two." Qiu Xing held Jie Yang's hand and asked, "What's going on?"

A bunch of little traitors.

Xie Yanghui held Qiu Xing's hand, and while pulling Qiu Xing towards the table where the food was set, he explained the process of the candid photo shoot and comforted him, "So it's just a small matter. Yangxing is an entertainment company, and it's normal to have paparazzi squatting on it. Don't worry."

Qiu Xing did not relax at all: "Why did you ask Wu Shui to search the media where the reporter works for such a small matter?"

How can a traitor say anything?

Xie Yang continued to explain: "I just thought that the reporter's behavior of accidentally bringing out a mirror and letting it reflect light, and then being discovered by Wu Shui and I, was too stupid, so I started to have a conspiracy theory, worrying that he might be a pathfinder hired by Tao Yang or Mu Zhouyi to test how many bodyguards I have around me."

Qiu Xing's face was full of anger and he squeezed Jie Yang's hand tightly: "I'll find someone to check on that reporter."

Xie Yang reached out and pressed Qiu Xing's tightly furrowed brows, but did not stop him.

The result of the investigation came out on the same day. The reporter resigned. Right after secretly photographing Li Yang, he texted his boss to inform him of his resignation. After that, he did not even go through the formal resignation procedures and rushed back to the company to pack up his things and ran away.

Qiu Xing put down what he had found and said, "He bought a train ticket to go back home today."

Xie Yang didn't expect that he actually guessed it right: "It seems that being careful is the right thing to do."

Qiu Xing's expression became uglier and uglier: "I'll arrange a few more bodyguards for you, and you should try to reduce your activities outside recently."

"It can't be reduced." Xie Yang explained, "The rehearsal for the Spring Festival Gala is about to begin, and "I See Xuanyuan" is about to enter the promotion period. By then, I will have a lot of public schedules to go out."

Qiu Xing became anxious: "But they are always watching you."

"Don't be nervous." Xie Yang patted Qiu Xing's shoulder. "It's a good thing to have a public itinerary. We can use the itinerary to go fishing. What do you think?"

"fishing?"

"Yeah." Xie Yang rubbed Qiu Xing's unconsciously furrowed brows again, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."

…

The next few days were unusually peaceful. Rongding's reorganization went smoothly, Xie Yang's artist activities slowly resumed, photos started to appear on his Weibo again, and Qiu Xing's likes activity also reappeared. The two went to get off work and came home normally every day, and no accidents occurred.

The day before New Year's Day, Feng Qinglin brought news that Feng Chuang finally gave in and reported Tao Yang to the police, saying that all the Tao family's business secrets he had obtained were provided by Tao Yang.

Surprisingly, according to Feng Chuang's confession, Tao Yang did not show up in person when providing the Tao family's business secrets to Feng Chuang, but deliberately went to Tao Yi, who had already divorced Feng Dian, to pass it on.

In other words, Feng Chuang didn't know where Tao Yang was.

Fortunately, with Feng Chuang's confession and the partial evidence he provided, Tao Yi and Tao Yang were immediately listed as fugitives by the police, and Tao Yang's situation changed from active hiding to passive hiding.

Because of this incident, Tao Yang became a hot topic for the first time in a long time. The few remaining peaches were sad and disappointed to see Tao Yang turned into a criminal, and the netizens who were just watching the fun were sighing.

From a favored child of heaven to an online wanted criminal, this is the difference... one wrong step leads to another.

A few hours after Tao Yang's hot search, Jie Yang's new song "Like Value" was released at midnight on the New Year's Day holiday. The topic #解阳新歌《喜欢值》# quickly became a hot search, and the number of views and downloads of "Like Value" on major platforms also began to soar.

At the same time, Xie Yang posted a Weibo.

[Jie Yang: If the like points can be exchanged for things, what would you like to exchange for? 】

This seems to be an ordinary promotional Weibo post released to promote a new song, but to an insider, it is an arrogant and sarcastic Weibo post.

After posting on Weibo, Xie Yang turned off his phone, lay back in Qiu Xing's arms, closed his eyes, and officially began to devour the last system fragment in the supernatural core.

He had a small guess - since all the data related to Mu Zhouyi was retained in the system fragments, and there had been attempts to bind Mu Zhouyi back, could it be that the system's key programs still retained the function to clearly locate and lock Mu Zhouyi again?

If it really exists, then finding the Wooden Zhouyi will become an extremely simple matter.
