Chapter 78: Jinjiang Dufa, but you live together...
Director Li is very efficient. Jiang Chen soon received news from Zhuang Ningyu that Xiao Yin and the crew had peacefully terminated their contract.
Linfeng Group said that this would not affect their cooperation, but Director Li was tough and refused. The person they had inserted had moral flaws, and if it was exposed, the entire crew would suffer.
They knew about it in advance but concealed it, which violated the contract they signed.
Director Li said that he didn't want to be taken advantage of and on the surface he politely declined, but in reality he felt that Lin Feng was not being honest and was unwilling to cooperate with him.
Jiang Chen noticed that Director Li did not reveal Xiao Yin's affairs, and thought that he was confronting Xiao Yin in private. This would indeed achieve the goal, but it would also leave trouble.
He was just thinking about whether he should remind Director Li, when he realized that he was worrying too early.
Director Li just didn't let the matter get out of his hands.
He played a trick and passed the information to other people several times. He didn't want to offend Lin Feng completely.
Jiang Chen knew that he was being clever, but as long as things went according to his plan, it didn't matter who leaked the information.
Xiao Yin is a popular star, and he has also had hit dramas marketed before. Although his fan base may not be large, many passers-by are familiar with him and have searched for him on hot searches.
The whistleblower revealed the news late at night. Netizens who like to stay up late at night took screenshots and then dug deeper, uncovering all the negative information about Xiao Yin in the early days.
Xiao Yin's company's reaction was not slow, but it still couldn't catch up with the speed of netizens' response. The whistleblower's evidence was too solid and the photos were very clear.
Xiao Yin had no way to defend himself.
It is worth mentioning that Xiao Yin had just clung to Gu Tingsen's thigh and took advantage of Gu Tingsen's convenience to get the endorsement of Gu Tingsen's company. As soon as this incident came out, Lin Feng hurriedly cut ties with him, fearing that if he was slow, he would be implicated.
However, not long after their statement was released, photos of Xiao Yin and Gu Tingsen's private meeting appeared below provided by a busybody.
The photo looks very proper, but it can't stop the onlookers from thinking divergently.
Whether something happens or not is the business of the parties involved. What netizens want is to add bricks and tiles to the melon field.
Xu Chen has always disliked Gu Tingsen and is happy to see him in trouble. He was in high spirits all day today and booked afternoon tea for the entire company with a wave of his hand.
Jiang Chen read the comments online. Xiao Yin was the one at the center of the melon field. Gu Tingsen was implicated. There was a related entry, which was at the level where you could take a bite but it was also okay if you didn't take a bite.
This kind of thing is harmless to him, a frequent visitor to hot searches.
Xueqiu leaned over to watch the news with Jiang Chen, and lamented that Gu Tingsen was just thick-skinned.
Jiang Chen interrupted the plot lines of Chen Jiu, the Shen family, Lan Luo, and Xiao Yin, which greatly shortened the story length.
Without the help of the supporting characters and Lu Chiyuan's hard work, Shen Zhiyi's growth line would be too short to watch.
She ran to Gu Tingsen when her relationship had no foundation, completely ruining her own future and becoming a vase with only ornamental value.
Now she is confined to Gu Tingsen, becoming a foil, with her halo dimmed.
And Gu Tingsen didn't seem to be affected too much.
In the final analysis, Gu Tingsen is the vested interest, and Shen Zhiyi is a projection serving him, so even if Shen Zhiyi is defeated step by step, he can still firmly occupy that one acre and three points of land.
Jiang Chen turned the pen in his hand and looked at the constantly updated news. If it weren't for the rich world of fan fiction, Xiao Yin would just be one of the many celebrities whose reputations have collapsed.
He has relied on the author's dressing to get to where he is today, and he can only get to where he is today. There is really no shortage of people like him in this circle.
Xiao Yin’s matter had been going on for a couple of days, but it was no longer the focus of Jiang Chen’s attention.
Jiang Chen is obsessed with work and pulls Xu Chen, who is keen on slacking off, to discuss business. Although their company is small, it has everything, and Jiang Chen can't stand anyone being idle.
He used the entertainment resources in Xu Chen's hands to seek more cooperation channels for the company, allowing those who needed to release records to release records and those who needed to act to act to act.
Xu Chen had been lying down for many years and was finally pulled up. Although he complained and wanted Jiang Chen to coax him, he did everything he should do to make Jiang Chen satisfied.
Jiang Chen is not sure whether Gu Tingsen will still set his sights on the entertainment industry after his series of failures. What he has to do now is to stabilize the development of their company and ensure quality and quantity, so that even if Gu Tingsen really interferes, they will not be outdone.
Jiang Chen was so busy with dinner parties and business trips that even though he and Lu Chiyuan lived together, they didn't see each other.
Sometimes Jiang Chen came home late, and in order not to disturb Lu Chiyuan, he would change the room to sleep.
At first Lu Chiyuan didn't say anything, but gradually he would ask Jiang Chen about his schedule on the phone, and the frequency of their chats increased.
[Chenchen, you know how to drive Lu Chiyuan crazy. ]
Snowball slept on Jiang Chen's desk, purring comfortably. Even from a cat's perspective, he could sense a slight scumbag feeling on Jiang Chen's body.
Who would start ignoring someone after living together?
He and Lu Chiyuan haven't even been dating for two days!
[Maomao really didn't expect that you are an invisible workaholic. You and Lu always quarrel, but is it because you ignore him because of work? ]
Lu Chiyuan did not become a workaholic, but Jiang Chen packed his schedule tightly. Snowball once again looked through their love history and discovered some contradictions that were easily overlooked.
Jiang Chen didn't admit it and defended his past self: "How could that be? Aren't we together on weekends? I will set aside my weekend time for dating."
Snowball revealed: [What about Monday to Friday? ]
There are seven days in a week, not two.
Jiang Chen said: "We have to go to work from Monday to Friday. Isn't it normal to see each other less during work hours?"
Snowball sighed and said, "But you live together."
Living together is to better integrate the two of you. If you choose to live together but lead your own lives and only get together briefly on weekends, what is the point of living together?
Jiang Chen frowned. He didn't agree with Xueqiu's statement.
He and Lu Chiyuan lived together because they were in love and they wanted to have a little home of their own.
In this home, they can do what they want. Home is their safe haven and the destination to go home late at night, not just because they want to be together.
He and Lu Chiyuan are no longer at the age where love is the only thing in their hearts. They each have their own careers, and it is impossible for either of them to let the other give up their career in order to be together.
Snowball slapped the table with his tail, stamping his feet anxiously: [That's true, but Chenchen, when Lu Chiyuan frequently asked you about your schedule, didn't you feel anything strange? ]
"It's not bad."
Jiang Chen didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He would occasionally ask Lu Chiyuan about his plans. In his opinion, this was perfectly normal.
Snowball held his forehead with his hand and asked, can this really be called okay?
It only saw a lover who was neglected because Jiang Chen was busy with work. Living together and dating are not get-out-of-jail-free tickets, and they cannot lead to intermittent loss of contact.
But Jiang Chen didn't realize this problem. Lu Chiyuan asked him about his schedule because he wanted to know what he was busy with and whether he was so busy that he had no time to pay attention to him.
[If Lu Chiyuan were a flower, he might be shedding his petals right now because of your neglect! ]
Jiang Chen smiled. He couldn't imagine Lu Chiyuan like that. In his memory, Lu Chiyuan's core was strong and stable. He was omnipotent and could easily resolve any problem.
What Jiang Chen felt most about him was reliability.
"He is not that kind of person." Jiang Chen defended him.
Snowball stretched lazily, rolled his eyes, and said: [Chenchen, if Lu Chiyuan falls in love with someone else, what will you do? ]
Jiang Chen found it getting more and more ridiculous, and stopped what he was doing at the same time, saying, "He can't."
【If, this is just an assumption. 】
Jiang Chen smiled helplessly. He knew that Snowball would not give up unless he gave an explanation, so he thought about it seriously.
Snowball jumped up in dissatisfaction and said: [You really think about it? Shouldn't you stick to your original idea? ]
Jiang Chen said: "If he has a better choice, I really don't need to..."
Before Jiang Chen could finish his words, Snowball had already jumped on his head, using his actions to shut him up.
The little silver-white kitten nestled on its head, biting his hair angrily, feeling a little disappointed with him.
[You are so generous. Being cute is selfish, possessive, and special. Love should be sticky, not like you, kissing and hugging each other when you are together, and not contacting each other for a long time when you are apart for work.]
Jiang Chen listened to the advice humbly and did not refute. After Snowball finished speaking, he grabbed it from his head. Looking at its serious cat face, he couldn't help laughing and teased, "You guys are also part-time love consultants while working on the system?"
Snowball was angry: [I am serious! ]
Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I was not serious enough. I will apologize."
Jiang Chen lifted it into his arms and teased its chin.
Just then, a message popped up on Jiang Chen's phone.
Lu Chiyuan: [Working overtime today too?]
Jiang Chen took the phone. He did not rush to reply to Lu Chiyuan's message, but scrolled through the chat history.
He didn't talk much with Lu Chiyuan, and several times the conversation started with Lu Chiyuan asking about his schedule.
His work schedule this week was full, with business trips and dinner parties. Those had nothing to do with his fandom, but were about his interpersonal relationships that needed to be maintained. He had inadvertently taken up too much time with Lu Chiyuan.
Did he really ignore Lu Chiyuan?
Jiang Chen thought carefully, he and Lu Chiyuan were family first, then lovers, and then family again. He was used to Lu Chiyuan's existence, and he felt that no matter what happened, he and Lu Chiyuan would not be separated.
Perhaps it was because long-distance relationships were too common after they each grew up and started their own careers, so he began to regard this abnormality as the norm.
Lu Chiyuan loves him, so he indulges him, but this does not mean that he does not need a delicate love with expectations and companionship.
Jiang Chen looked back at the quarrel between him and Lu Chiyuan in the old house. His hurt was just the fuse. The real problem was that they were together less and less. Because of their childhood affection and their mutual recognition of this relationship, he naturally ignored the needs of love.
He turned his lover into a family member too early, but Lu Chiyuan obviously hasn't adapted to it yet. From Lu Chiyuan's perspective, what he saw was an irresponsible lover who flirted and then ran away, and dumped her after loving her, and so on and so forth.
Jiang Chen vaguely realized that this was not normal. He stroked Snowball's cat head, first sent a message to his assistant to cancel the afternoon meeting, and then replied to Lu Chiyuan.
[When do you get off work? I have a meeting today, so I will be home a little late.]
Snowball tilted his head in confusion. Wasn’t the meeting cancelled?
Jiang Chen knocked on its head, stood up, picked up the suit jacket on the chair, and said, "Go home now, there's just enough time to make a candlelight dinner."
