"Cen Yu."

Lou Baichuan arrived almost late. After entering the office, he called out Cen Yu's name.

Even though he spoke very softly, it still attracted the attention of some people around him—or rather, from the very beginning, the people in the office had been paying attention to what was happening here.

Cen Yu looked up at Lou Baichuan and could see the concern hidden beneath the other's calm exterior.

"Come to my office." Lou Baichuan nodded and then went to his small office.

Cen Yu closed his laptop, pushed back his chair, and stood up. As he stood up, Gao Lanyuan, who was next to him, finally spoke.

He looked at Cen Yu, “…Yu Xinyu…”

"Yes, my boyfriend," Cen Yu said casually.

Ignoring Gao Lanyuan's reaction, he went straight to Lou Baichuan's office.

When Lou Baichuan pushed open the door and walked in, he hadn't even taken off his coat. He just stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the buildings outside. Only after Cen Yu walked in did he turn his head and say, "Sit down."

Cen Yu closed the door and sat down opposite Lou Baichuan.

The two sat down at a table apart. Lou Baichuan turned on his computer and talked to Cen Yu about some work arrangements. He spoke in a very fragmented way, even trying to make conversation, as if afraid that the two of them would fall into an awkward silence.

Cen Yu sighed inwardly. He thought Lou Baichuan was a good person; even in this situation, he still wanted to save face for himself.

"What did the company say?"

Cen Yu got straight to the point.

Lou Baichuan paused for a moment on the keyboard. The office fell silent. Lou Baichuan looked at Cen Yu sitting in front of him—the other party still had that indifferent look, as if the words on the Internet had little effect on him.

He didn't know how to tell Cen Yu about the company's decision, although the company's explanation was very mild.

We've only mentioned that Cen Yu is very busy filming variety shows lately, so why not let him take a few days off?

As for how many days off they would have and when they would return, they didn't say a word.

Perhaps from beginning to end, what the company feared was not the online public opinion, but Yu Jinheng—they were worried that Cen Yu's attitude towards Yu Xinyu would displease Yu Jinheng.

After all, everyone knows that Yu Jinheng is really good to his younger brother.

From Lou Baichuan's perspective, he didn't think Yu Jinheng would treat Cen Yu like this, nor did he think the other party would treat the company like this. He thought the bald boss was just worrying unnecessarily. But when faced with Cen Yu's calm gaze, he felt he couldn't say anything.

Finally, he took a deep breath and said, "The company is considering giving you a few days off."

He said casually, "You just got back from recording a variety show and you must be tired. Take a break first."

Lou Baichuan is indeed a respectable person.

Cen Yu sighed inwardly, amazed that the company could even say "get out" in such a dignified way.

However, he really had no intention of continuing. He looked at Lou Baichuan and said, "No need."

"I'll submit my resignation today." He looked at Lou Baichuan and smiled. "I'll trouble you to approve it first, Brother Chuan."

Lou Baichuan frowned. He wanted to say something, but in the end he only said, "There's no need." He looked at Cen Yu seriously, "You don't need to do this."

Cen Yu didn't speak. He just stood up and looked at Lou Baichuan, then followed Lou Baichuan's gaze to look at the scenery through the French windows before looking down at Lou Baichuan. "For me, it's necessary."

...

Meanwhile, the production team was also in an uproar. Some people thought it was just a publicity stunt, while others thought it might offend the Yu family.

In the end, no conclusion was reached. We could only hope that we could see the Yu family's attitude before the recording of the second episode.

Sang Qianshan, of course, also saw the video online. He cursed Yu Xinyu as a complete waste of space. How did this thing even get out? He was just about to ask his manager to see if they could change the public opinion a little when he saw his manager looking at him with a worried expression—

"Ancestor, please don't get involved."

"...How could this video have been leaked?" The agent also felt that Sang Qianshan was just worried and confused. "This is clearly a view from his home. Besides Yu Xinyu herself, who else could have gotten this video?"

If the video was indeed posted by Yu Xinyu.

Whether it was the other party deliberately appearing in front of the camera, the interview remarks, or these suddenly released videos, they were all clearly at Yu Xinyu's behest.

If he really wanted to crush Cen Yu, it would be a simple matter of saying a few words.

After all, no one would offend the two Yu brothers for the sake of Cen Yu.

Sang Qianshan grew angrier the more he thought about it. He picked up his phone to post on Weibo, but his manager snatched it away and quickly changed the password, afraid that Sang Qianshan would go crazy.

Sang Qianshan looked at his agent and said, "Okay."

He was about to call Cen Yu when he discovered that Cen Yu had just sent him a message—

[Cen Yu: I'm fine, don't go crazy.]

Sang Qianshan seemed to have suddenly lost all his strength. He looked at his agent and said, "Give me the phone."

The agent looked at him warily.

"Give me."

Seeing that Sang Qianshan was truly angry, the agent obediently handed the phone to him. Sang Qianshan took the phone and went to his bedroom. After closing the door, he called Cen Yu.

The call was answered quickly, and contrary to his expectations, Cen Yu's voice was exactly the same as usual.

Why are you calling me?

“…I…” Sang Qianshan wanted to ask Cen Yu how he was doing, but he was worried that this would touch a sore spot, so he hesitated instead.
