Jing Shengxi didn't stay with her for long.

The second male lead of the crew ran excitedly to Jing Shengxi with a microphone and insisted that the two of them sing a song.

"What are two men singing about? Deep Love in the Rain."

"If Yiping can sing, why can't we? Besides, isn't it great to be able to listen to Brother Jing sing for free?"

Jing Shengxi was pulled onto the stage, with a flush on his face from drinking, and happily sang a song "Deep Love in the Rain" with the second male lead. The interaction between the two grown men was not necessarily beautiful, but it was very greasy.

Hu Xuechun even raised her hands and shouted, "I'm here to dance with you. I can't let you continue to be so greasy."

Seeing Hu Xuechun coming on stage, the second male lead tactfully handed the microphone to her.

Hu Xuechun waved her hands to refuse and insisted on dancing. As soon as the lyrics came out, she took the microphone and sang the rest of the song with Jing Shengxi shyly.

There were cheers in the box, and some even said that the two were a perfect match.

Only Li Li looked at the stage silently.

She couldn't remember how many times she had watched Jing Shengxi's performance as an audience member.

In previous concerts, she wore a mask and held a glow stick, just like an ordinary fan, watching Jing Shengxi shining on the stage from the audience.

She thought she could have this love all to herself.

Later she found out that she could no longer enjoy it alone.

Those who are not in an open relationship cannot be possessive.

You have to endure not seeing each other for two or three months because of work.

I have to tolerate you watching the news about him and the female artist from the sidelines.

Li Lai is a narrow-minded person and doesn't like to share with others.

She is not a generous person.

The two of them rarely communicated with each other about work. He didn't ask Li Li, but Li Li told him several times. Later, when she found out that her resources had been intercepted, she became worried.

It’s not that she was worried that Jing Shengxi would intercept her, but she thought that she was not careful with her words and told everyone everything. Who could know who was thinking what? Gradually, she stopped talking about work.

The hardest thing about getting along is having nothing to say.

As soon as one song was finished, someone at the banquet started to clamor for another one, and then sang "The Moon Represents My Heart".

Hu Xuechun shyly said that this song is not suitable to be sung now.

"If not now, when? When you get married."

Everyone in the audience immediately burst into laughter, and Hu Xuechun was so angry that she put her hands on her hips and complained to Jing Shengxi: "Look, they are all bullying me."

Jing Shengxi raised his hand to signal the audience to be quiet.

The box really became quiet, and everyone was waiting for him to speak.

"This song is really not suitable to be sung now."

"Ah?" Hu Xuechun asked in a small voice.

"Because the person I like is also in this room, I'm afraid she'll be angry, so I have to avoid suspicion."

After the words were spoken, everyone in the box fell silent. Some people began to speculate who it was, suspecting all the girls in the crew.

Li Li's eyes suddenly met Jing Shengxi's. She hastily avoided his gaze, grabbed the wine glass on the table and took a sip. The spicy taste suppressed the restlessness in her heart, and her face remained calm.

Director Ding cleared his throat solemnly and came out to smooth things over, saying, "Today is a day for everyone to have dinner together. Let's just talk about happy things. Jing Shengxi will take the initiative to announce the details of the people you want to know. And nothing about today's gathering can be leaked outside."

Will it?

Li Li was so drunk that she cried.

Nowadays, if a star announces his relationship, it will be exposed to the public. He has worked hard to reach his current position, so it is impossible for him to announce his relationship.

That was just a small episode, and the party continued to be lively. The two producers went to talk to Jing Shengxi specifically, probably to ask if it would affect the normal broadcast of the show.

While she was chatting with the person next to her, Director Ding in the distance winked at her. She found an excuse to temporarily leave the banquet and walked into the small private room in the box.

The box was very quiet. It was a place he used for his private affairs. He would sit on the sofa when he saw something.

"Director Ding."

"Li Li, did you have a relationship with Jing Shengxi?"

The leader, who is very observant, must have discovered something, otherwise he would not ask so confidently.

"My emotional issues and tax problems are innocent, and they will not affect the broadcast of the drama." This was Li Li's answer.

Director Ding sighed and rubbed his face vigorously with his hands. "Li Li, you've finally gotten back on your feet. You need to be more cautious than them and not make even the slightest mistake. Otherwise, his fanatical fans will definitely drive you crazy."

Not long after talking with Director Ding, someone from the next room called out Director Ding's name loudly.

Before leaving, Director Ding said earnestly: "I think you care more about your personal achievements than about love."

You're right. If Li Li didn't have this goal in mind, she wouldn't have been able to return to the entertainment industry.

As soon as Director Ding left, Li Li didn't want to stay any longer.

I left the hotel from the emergency exit and just walked down two flights of stairs when I heard someone rushing down the stairs behind me.

"Li Li!"

It’s Jing Shengxi!

Li Li’s first thought was to run.

He quickly went downstairs holding the handrail, fearing that if he was a step late, Jing Shengxi would catch up with him.

She was like a thief who had been caught stealing something, and she hurried down the stairs, afraid that she would be caught by the person behind her.

He ran down three or four flights of stairs without stopping, but the sudden discomfort in his right foot restricted Li Li's movements.

She couldn't rest in the hospital any longer, as she didn't have much energy left.

I stopped and walked slowly, praying in my heart that Jing Shengxi would not really catch up with me.

"Your feet hurt again." Jing Shengxi said behind him.

"There are too many misunderstandings between us that have not been explained clearly," he said as he walked over. His face was red because of the rapid downstairs, and his breath was still a little hesitant when he spoke.

"There is no misunderstanding." Li Li was eager to explain.

"We will talk about our relationship slowly, but now I want to tell you that you must participate in the production of 'Xiao Family Secrets'."

Li Li was curious about how the other party knew that she was working on the work "Xiao Family Secrets".

"Although it's a mission drama, Mu Yan hired a professor from the Chinese Department of Peking University to rewrite the script. The platform also attaches great importance to it and has promised to invest an additional 40 million yuan. This drama is the best resource you can currently access."

Lan Yan also said this to himself,

Now she has no actual achievements in film and television dramas. Unless she uses some abnormal means, she will not be able to get access to the platform to prepare dramas, and no director will come to her with a script to shoot.

"I understand your concerns, Li Lai, but first of all, you have to think clearly about one thing. Mu Yan has won awards at foreign film festivals in the past two years and has been favored by mainstream media. She has more than just talent. You must participate in this drama."

Li Lai received too much information, and needed to think carefully and sort it out before making a decision.

After saying that, he went back to think about it, and Jing Shengxi asked, "Is your foot inconvenient now? My car is downstairs, don't worry, you won't be photographed."

Jing Shengxi said that one time he picked her up from get off work. Just as he parked the car in the underground garage, he found paparazzi waiting there. Fearing that their relationship would be exposed, Jing Shengxi had to drive away and told Li Li to find a way to come back on her own.

I should have been very angry, but given their identities, I couldn't be angry.

"Forget it, my current status is rather embarrassing."

Rejecting the other party's kindness, Li Li continued to go downstairs, but Jing Shengxi said behind him: "I am also in the crew of "Xiao Family Secrets" and I look forward to working with you."

Why say this? It only deepened Li Li's unwillingness to participate in this work.

After returning to the rental house, she removed her makeup and washed her face. She was reading the script when a strange call came in on her cell phone. She answered it without any suspicion, but there was no voice on the other end. Li Li thought that her signal was bad, so she said hello two or three times in succession, but there was no response from the other end. After realizing that it was a harassing call, she immediately hung up.

However, this boring phone call was just the beginning.

After that, every five minutes, there would be harassing phone calls from different locations, without saying anything, just torturing her.

I was so angry that I turned off my phone, and only then did I feel a brief moment of peace.

As for why it was a short period of silence, it was because every hour there would be a delivery man knocking on the door to deliver tissues.

Holding a pack of tissues that cost one yuan each, she looked into the dark, old corridor. Even if someone was lying in ambush in the corridor, she wouldn't be able to find them.

I asked the delivery man who placed the order. Four delivery men came and gave four addresses, and they all placed the orders from outside the province.

Thinking of the harassing phone calls and hourly takeout orders, Li Lai realized that his address had been leaked.

After being tortured all night, Li Li decided to go to Lan Yan to discuss whether to call the police.

When I went downstairs, I saw a group of people gathered around where I parked my car. I had a bad thought, wondering if my car had been tampered with.

Li Li squeezed in hastily and was so frightened by the miserable state of the car that she was speechless.

All four tires were slashed, the front windshield was smashed, and the seats inside the car were cut with a knife.

"Little girl, have you offended anyone?" An old man pointed to a piece of paper stuck on the steering wheel.

On it was a bloody knife, with the words "Next time I'll cut it, it'll be your face" written in black and white.

"Call the police."

This was what Li Li immediately confirmed. This had already threatened his personal safety and must be dealt with seriously.

After the police arrived, they took a detailed statement and asked Li Li if she had offended anyone recently. Li Li said she didn't know, as her career was not going well at the moment, so who would target her?

When the police wanted to retrieve the surveillance footage from the residential complex, they found that the power switch of the surveillance camera had been turned off.

It was obvious that this was a premeditated act done by someone who was very familiar with the community property. When I asked the security guard on duty, he said that he did not find anything unusual that day.

This requires a slow investigation.

Thinking that his current address was unsafe, Li Li was afraid. He was afraid that a desperate person would rush in one day and slash his face with a knife. Then he would not be able to make a living by his looks anymore.

Please ask the police to send me to Lan Yan's house for temporary refuge. The house prices there are high, so the security is naturally not ordinary.

He called Lan Yan and told her he was coming to find her in a police car. She was so scared that she yelled on the phone, "What crime have you committed? Why are you here in a police car? Tell me!"

"I'm not doing anything, just for safety." He took his luggage from the police car, indicating that Li Li would camp in Lan Yan's house for a long time.

She briefly told Lan Yan about what happened from last night to this morning, saying that she was living in that house, and she was afraid that one day she would come to the rental house in a rage to find her because she couldn't get through to her on the phone, and find that she had passed away many days ago.

"Really? Did you offend someone?"

"Of course it's true, otherwise why would I come here in a police car? But I don't know who I offended."

"That's how the industry is. When you become famous, people will envy you. There will be many more days like this in the future, so you have to be prepared."
