On the way back, Chu Yi drove with the window open, letting the wind blow through, her long, smooth hair dancing in the breeze.
She gazed ahead and couldn't help but sigh, "Sigh."
"What should we do?"
Now, Fei Jie doesn't even know her true identity, and their relationship is about to progress to the stage of meeting each other's parents. Although it's just one meeting, she is under a lot of pressure.
On one hand, there's the impact of her public figure status and the exposure of her relationship on her career; on the other hand, there's the issue of her parents.
Will my parents accept my relationship with Fei Jie?
Fei Jie's family were ordinary people in the countryside. He had a younger brother and a younger sister. Their life was not exactly poor, but it was not middle class either.
On the contrary, the Chu family is much more powerful. Chu Yi is a star who is the focus of everyone's attention. He has a high income, and a single concert can earn him the equivalent of an ordinary person's lifetime income.
The eldest brother, Chu Yongquan, is the boss of a company. Although the real estate industry is currently in a downturn, he can still make money.
Not to mention Chu Yi, the biggest boss of the Chu family, Chu Lao Er, Chu Yi never knew how much wealth his older brother had.
Anyway, Chu Fang usually seems carefree and extremely irresponsible, staying at home all day, but he can easily spend tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars.
The gap between the two families is like heaven and earth.
Will the Chu family agree to her marrying down?
This is also why Chu Yi dared not tell Fei Jie his true identity.
Chu Yi rubbed his temples: "My head hurts."
"There's always a way out; after the darkest hour comes the dawn. Take it one step at a time."
That was the only way she could console herself.
Chu Yi drove back to Zhonghai Mingyuan, rested, and woke up the next day.
Starlight Enlightenment Agency.
Many employees and subordinates bowed their heads upon seeing Chu Yi, saying, "Good morning, President Chu."
"Okay," Chu Yi replied, adding, "Have President Han come to my office."
She walked into the office and had just sat down when President Han knocked on the door and came in: "President Chu, what can I do for you?"
"What's wrong with that bastard Qiao Zhenghong?" Chu Yi cut to the chase. "I've already clarified our relationship, so why is he still spouting nonsense?"
Her social media accounts are flooded with comments from Qiao Zhenghong's fans, all praising Qiao Zhenghong's deep affection and hoping for a chance.
Those idiotic comments gave her a headache.
She and Qiao Zhenghong only had a meal together, yet this whole mess has happened.
Mr. Han said, "We contacted Qiao Zhenghong's side, and they said that we were just creating hype to increase each other's popularity."
"Who the hell wants that damn buzz!" Chu Yi frowned. "Get me in touch with Qiao Zhenghong. I want to ask him in person what's going on."
"clear."
After finishing his work at the company, Chu Yi went to the studio to practice singing with some of his bandmates from the Sun Band.
Despite taking on company management responsibilities, she still didn't reduce her singing practice time.
“Yiyi, you should get more rest,” Ruan Huixian said.
Dai Qingrou agreed: "Exactly. You not only have to manage the company, but also take care of the band, singing, and releasing songs. It's too tiring. You'll break down if you keep going like this."
Chu Yi sat on the ground: "I just wanted to be a singer, but I had no choice but to let Chu Lao Er give me the company. I can't just leave it unattended. Blame Chu Lao Er if you want."
The other teammates were speechless.
Sometimes being too rich can be exhausting.
The Sun Band members practiced until nightfall, and then went their separate ways.
Chu Yi drove to the place he had arranged with Qiao Zhenghong, a high-end hotel decorated in a magnificent style, where all the guests were prominent figures.
Qiao Zhenghong had booked a private room. Upon entering, a smile appeared on Qiao Zhenghong's face: "Yiyi, you've arrived. I've been waiting for you for a long time."
As he spoke, Qiao Zhenghong handed her the roses on his right: "These are for you."
"Is there some paparazzi taking pictures? They'll just post these things online and it'll just be another piece of random news." Chu Yi ignored Qiao Zhenghong's enthusiasm.
"This meeting was kept strictly confidential, absolutely nothing," Qiao Zhenghong said with a smile, his expression unchanged. "I'm very happy you invited me to meet..."
Before he could finish speaking, Chu Yi interrupted him directly: "Don't be so happy. I asked you out because I wanted to talk to you. Don't say things like 'I like you' online. If you want to create hype, find a dog to help you create hype. That thing will generate even more hype, and your new drama will definitely be a hit."
Qiao Zhenghong said, "Yiyi, everything I said online was the truth. Ever since I met you that time, I have indeed fallen for you."
"I want to say this again, I really like you, and I hope you can give me a chance."
"I'm sorry, I'm not interested in you." Chu Yi shrugged.
“Interests can be cultivated gradually.” Qiao Zhenghong clutched his chest. “My feelings for you are genuine. No one in this world loves you more than I do.”
What proof do you have?
"I'll risk my life." After saying that, Qiao Zhenghong clung to the window, looked back at her, and said, "This is the sixteenth floor. I can jump down to prove my love for you, even if it means being smashed to pieces."
Chu Yi's eyes remained expressionless: "Jump. If you die, I'll erect a tombstone for you."
The room was extremely quiet.
Qiao Zhenghong climbed down from the window, smiling sheepishly: "Throwing objects from high-rise buildings is illegal. It wouldn't be good if it hit someone."
Chu Yi sneered, stood up, and said, "Qiao Zhenghong, I'm warning you, you're not allowed to continue posting any more nonsensical comments about me online. I can let bygones be bygones for the past. But if this happens again, don't blame me for not giving you face."
"When the time comes, I will refute you in front of everyone, so don't feel embarrassed."
"Now that I've said this, I hope you understand."
After saying that, Chu Yi left immediately, not wanting to linger for even a second.
Just as Chu Yi left, Qiao Zhenghong's agent walked in and asked, "How was it? How did things go between you and Chu Yi?"
Qiao Zhenghong's face turned ashen: "Chu Yi rejected me."
He looked at his manager and said, "Sister Fang, I don't understand why you want me to pursue Chu Yi? She's quite famous and has many fans, but her fans are all music fans who only listen to songs. They can't complement me. Why should I lower myself to pursue her?"
As he spoke, Qiao Zhenghong's voice rose a few decibels.
He considered himself handsome, but today he was humiliated by Chu Yi, and the suggestion was made by his own manager.
If it weren't for the fact that Sister Fang was the company's top agent who had represented many celebrities, Qiao Zhenghong would have definitely turned against her.
Agent Fang crossed her arms and said, "Your vision is still too narrow."
"I've investigated. Starlight Enlightenment Agency belongs to Chu Yi, who controls 100% of the shares and is the sole owner. If you develop a relationship with Chu Yi, Starlight Enlightenment Agency will greatly benefit your career."
"And... use your brain."
"Where did Chu Yi get Starlight Mentorship? She's so young, she definitely didn't earn it herself, someone must have given it to her. Who gave it to her? It must have been her family."
"It is said that Chu Yi has an older brother who is incredibly powerful and knows many big shots in the entertainment industry. Just think, once you get in touch with him, you'll be set for life."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhenghong suddenly realized: "No wonder..."
