Chapter 48 Chapter 48

After that day, new rumors suddenly began to spread within the circle.

It turned out that Gu Xing Shi was Adam's muse, and Adam could only take photos with him present.

As a top photographer in the circle, Adam's return to portrait photography excited various fashion magazines.

Previously, the cover photo Adam took of Qin Wen had caused that lukewarm magazine to sell out instantly.

Every time they saw the editor showing off on their Moments, it made them grit their teeth in resentment. Why wasn't it their magazine that had commissioned Qin Wen's cover? If it had been, this kind of good fortune would have fallen into their laps.

Especially those first-tier fashion magazines, each of them had been openly competing, vying for sales, reputation, and style, with the cover being their most fiercely contested battleground.

And now, they had fought like a pair of squabbling crows, only to have their high ground silently occupied by a magazine that none of them had taken seriously.

How could they tolerate this!!

Although Adam was difficult to book, each magazine had its own methods, and they always found a way to schedule a shoot.

But after booking him, they were dumbfounded.

Whose muse is a manager, seriously!!!

However, Adam, an artist who pursued perfection, would never compromise. He directly stated that he wouldn't shoot without Gu Xing Shi.

So what else could the magazines do? They had no choice but to use all their means to get Gu Xing Shi to appear.

Gu Xing Shi naturally wouldn't be polite. Now that he had been a manager for a while, he gradually understood these twists and turns, and he wouldn't be soft-hearted when it came to obtaining resources.

Of course, even if these magazine companies were willing to pay the price, he didn't deal with every single one of them.

Some magazines had been unfriendly to his artists in the past, and he had carefully recorded them all in his little black book!

That magazine was also anxious. If all the other magazines had covers shot by Adam, but they didn't, how could they still mix in the industry in the future!

But they were also unwilling to bow to Gu Xing Shi.

So they sent people to secretly infiltrate the shooting scene to see what Gu Xing Shi used to impress Adam.

They found that Gu Xing Shi kept praising Adam throughout the shoot, and the more Adam was praised, the more excited he became, his state remaining high throughout.

So that's how it is!

This magazine thought it had found the secret and immediately dispatched its employee who was best at flattering.

However, Adam remained expressionless after listening: "No."

The magazine editor was about to go crazy: "Why not?"

Adam said solemnly: "Photography is the convergence of beauty and inspiration. As the editor of a fashion magazine, how can you not even understand such a basic principle?"

This was practically accusing him of being unprofessional.

The editor was about to explode with anger.

Why don't you just say that the person isn't good-looking!

The problem is, where am I going to find you a flatterer as beautiful as Gu Xing Shi!

After this incident, Gu Xing Shi's value rose again.

If the magazines were like this, celebrity managers would naturally be even more sensible.

Qin Wen's set of photos had been incredibly popular at the time.

Which magazine wasn't drooling over it.

Those who reacted quickly had already gone to cultivate a relationship with Gu Xing Shi.

Those who were slow didn't give up either, squatting at every opportunity to chat with Gu Xing Shi.

For a time, Gu Xing Shi became the hottest person in the circle.

Many managers who had interacted with him before but hadn't managed to become friends with him deeply regretted it, especially those small company managers who had participated in "Boy Group Training Camp."

When Gu Xing Shi had brought Meng Yuan Sheng and Cheng Xin to the competition, he was alone and it was the best time to get acquainted with him, but many managers had looked down on him, thinking that they were only one-hit wonders and unworthy of associating with him.

Only Yin He Feng had talked to Gu Xing Shi back then, and they even mocked Yin He Feng, saying that his vision was bad and that he had actually lowered himself to mingle with such a small company manager with no future.

Unexpectedly, Meng Yuan Sheng and Cheng Xin later debuted at a high position and their worth increased exponentially, and now Gu Xing Shi had also won Adam's favor, becoming a darling of the fashion circle, becoming an existence that they could only look up to but never reach.

They were even more envious and jealous of Yin He Feng. This was the benefit of investing early in potential stocks.

As for Ji Wang Shu, it was even more extraordinary.

She never expected that simply helping Gu Xing Shi casually would result in Gu Xing Shi's success, and he even subdued Adam.

This was something that countless people hadn't been able to achieve over the years!

He actually did it in just one night, what kind of god-like figure is this!

She had originally been friendly to Gu Xing Shi because of Wen Yue, but after this incident, she realized how amazing Gu Xing Shi was.

Even without Wen Yue's support, he would definitely succeed.

She suddenly felt a little jealous of Wen Yue.

To actually have such a handsome, capable, and good-tempered boyfriend.

Sun Hong Fei, who was reporting his work, also had the same feeling in his heart as Ji Wang Shu.

As President Gu's brilliance became more and more dazzling, the number of President Wen's rivals also increased.

Qin Wen hadn't left yet, and now there's Adam!

President Wen was lucky to have secured his position early, otherwise, with this speed of little vixen appearing, President Gu might have run away long ago.

Thinking of this, he bravely spoke up: "President Wen, I have a suggestion."

Wen Yue looked up: "What suggestion?"

When stared at by his light-colored eyes, people always felt an unconscious fear.

Sun Hong Fei also flinched, but he quickly thought that he was doing this for the good of President Wen and President Gu, so his courage immediately rose: "It's like this, Qin Wen is wholeheartedly loyal to President Gu, and Adam also treats President Gu differently. With the current situation, do you think we can deepen our cooperation with President Gu?"

The subtext was that there's Qin Wen ahead and Adam behind, both eyeing his wall, so seizing an opportunity to cooperate would deepen the relationship with President Gu and declare sovereignty, why not, President Wen!!

His eagerness made Wen Yue feel a little strange.

But he also knew the waves Gu Xing Shi had recently made in the fashion circle.

Every time he heard this name, it seemed to bring him unexpected performance.

Such talent should not be missed.

Thinking of this, he calmly nodded: "You're right, then leave this matter to you."

Sun Hong Fei was overjoyed: "President Wen, rest assured, I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"

Wen Yue appreciated his enthusiasm and encouraged him.

Sun Hong Fei was flattered.

He secretly vowed in his heart that he would definitely protect the love between President Wen and President Gu!

-

Because Qin Wen was about to enter a crew, his recent schedules were more packed, and Gu Xing Shi was incredibly busy.

This day, Qin Wen had just finished an interview and was walking out of the magazine company with Gu Xing Shi when he suddenly paused, pointing to a corner and asking: "President Gu, is that Sister Amy?"

Gu Xing Shi finished replying to a message, raised his head, and sure enough, saw Amy.

However, she looked much more haggard than before.

When Qin Wen was slandered online by the photographer Deng Yan, Amy had specially used a large account to help Qin Wen clarify, praising his good skin and looks, even his bare face was stunning.

At that time, Adam's photos hadn't come out yet, and Amy's kindness in helping during a difficult time touched him. He specifically sent Amy a WeChat message to thank her and agreed to bring her a gift next time.

However, when he came for the interview today, he didn't see Amy. The makeup artist said she had taken leave, so Gu Xing Shi didn't think much of it, only asking the other party to give her the gift.

But looking at Amy's appearance now, it seemed like something had happened.

As if sensing his question, the system popped up: [Something did happen. Amy participated in a makeup artist competition, and because of her outstanding performance, she was framed by a green tea friend who changed her makeup to one that caused the model to have an allergic reaction, causing her not only to lose the competition but also to be questioned for her unprofessionalism, even her current job was affected.]

Gu Xing Shi frowned.

He gestured for Qin Wen to wait for him on the spot and walked towards Amy himself: "Amy, are you alright?"

Amy saw that it was him and forced a smile: "President Gu."

Gu Xing Shi paused before saying: "I heard about the makeup artist competition."

Amy's face turned pale: "President Gu, it really wasn't me..."

"Don't worry, I'm not questioning you." Gu Xing Shi gently comforted her, "We've worked together so many times, don't I know whether you're professional or not?"

Amy's eyes immediately turned red, and she whispered: "Thank you, President Gu."

Even just the comfort made her grateful.

However, Gu Xing Shi continued: "Was there a makeup artist named Lily when you competed?"

Amy nodded: "Lily is my friend, after this happened, only she believed me and kept comforting me."

Gu Xing Shi reminded: "I heard a rumour that she said a lot of bad things about you, and said she wanted you to never be a makeup artist again. I believe you wouldn't be so careless, but what if someone intentionally framed you?"

Amy was stunned: "No... it's impossible! We've known each other for many years, Lily she..."

Thinking of this, she suddenly paused.

Her makeup bag had been by her side the whole time, only when she went to the toilet did she give the makeup bag to Lily to keep.

After the incident, she never suspected Lily, only thinking that she had taken the wrong makeup, but she had clearly checked several times before the competition, there was absolutely no mistake.

Gu Xing Shi said again: "As far as I know, you performed very well this time, if it weren't for this incident, you would have definitely won. Think about it, after this incident, who benefited the most?"

Amy now gradually believed Gu Xing Shi's words, muttering: "It's Lily, she won the championship."

Gu Xing Shi reminded again: "Wasn't there surveillance in the competition? I also heard that some makeup artists recorded vlogs, maybe something was filmed."

Amy's eyes gradually lit up, and she gratefully said to Gu Xing Shi: "Thank you, President Gu!"

She almost couldn't control her emotions.

She knew very well that Gu Xing Shi wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to a small makeup artist competition for no reason, he must have known that something had happened to her, so he specifically found out about it to help her.

He was so busy, yet he still spent time and energy finding out about this insignificant makeup artist.

Wuwuwu, how could he be so good, so gentle.

Gu Xing Shi was busy comforting the crying Amy, completely unaware that on the small balcony next to them, a man with blue hair and a cigarette in his hand had heard their conversation.

Gu Xing Shi comforted Amy before walking towards Qin Wen again.

The blue-haired man put out his cigarette and walked out of the balcony, his gaze immediately falling on Gu Xing Shi.

He thought his voice was gentle, but unexpectedly, the person was also... quite gentle.

The man lowered his eyes and walked out behind him, his gaze falling on Gu Xing Shi.

Qin Wen had been waiting for Gu Xing Shi. Seeing him come over, he hurried to meet him, but when he saw the man behind him, he was stunned: "Sheng Yue Qing?"

The man who was called stopped and looked at them indifferently.

Gu Xing Shi looked over curiously and was immediately shocked by the face.

Blue hair is a test of an artist's looks. First, the skin must be white enough, and second, the features must be exquisite, otherwise it is easy to look like a "杀马特" (a term for someone with an excessively flamboyant hairstyle).

And this person in front of him not only had fair skin but also a comic-like god-like appearance, almost without any flaws. Even though he was always cold-faced, it only made him look exquisite and noble.

However, as famous as his face was his black history and bad temper.

Two days ago, he was scolded on the hot search for beating his teammates.

Gu Xing Shi had eaten melons with the system at the time and knew that it wasn't his fault; it was his teammates who deliberately provoked him.

Now seeing him in person, he didn't feel that he was as irritable as the hot search said, but rather quiet.

He showed his signature smile and took the initiative to greet Sheng Yue Qing: "Hello."

Sheng Yue Qing seemed to be stunned for a moment before expressionlessly uttering a sentence: "Hello."

Then he strode past them, and because he walked too fast, he bumped into Qin Wen's shoulder.

Qin Wen rubbed his shoulder and couldn't help but mutter: "He's in such a hurry, like there's a ghost chasing him..."

Gu Xing Shi also found it funny.

He saw Sheng Yue Qing's earlobes turn red; just a greeting could make him shy like this.

At this time, their car arrived, so Gu Xing Shi didn't think much of it and pulled Qin Wen into the car, heading to the next event location.

It wasn't until the evening that he discovered that Qin Wen and Sheng Yue Qing were on the hot search.

And the topic was actually #ShengYueQingScoldsQinWen'sManager#

Gu Xing Shi: "????"

He clicked in and found that it was a photo taken of them in the lobby. Nothing had happened at the time, but on Weibo, it became Sheng Yue Qing scolding him, then Qin Wen coming out to speak for him, only to be arrogantly shoved away by Sheng Yue Qing, who then left.

Gu Xing Shi knew what "a picture at the beginning, the content is entirely fabricated" meant.

He couldn't help but complain to the system: [Sheng Yue Qing is too miserable, he didn't do anything, yet he's been scolded like this...]

System: [No way, he's a black hole, he's been scolded since his debut, even if his teammates do something wrong, he's the one who gets scolded. His company is also not good, after discovering this, they directly use him as a tool to promote the team, although he was isolated in the group, they released articles saying that he bullied the members, which aroused the fans' sympathy, although he initially attracted fans with his looks, when the group rose, they kicked him out, and the fans still applauded...]

Gu Xing Shi: [So miserable...]

System: [When he first entered the circle, he was still enthusiastic, but because his fans were basically appearance fans and not very loyal, the company directly used him as a blood bag, to highlight the company's newcomers, or to use him to block the knife for artists who had collapsed, and he is not good at speaking, before he wanted to explain, but was scolded even worse, he originally wanted to terminate the contract, but the liquidated damages were too high, so he simply gave up.]

Gu Xing Shi looked at the comments below Weibo, and it was indeed one-sidedly scolding Sheng Yue Qing.

[@Sheng Yue Qing how has he not gotten out of the entertainment circle yet! Seeing this name makes me physically nauseous.]

[@Sheng Yue Qing how are you like a mad dog, biting anyone you see?]

[Our President Gu and Brother Qin are so unlucky, encountering this disaster star...]

Gu Xing Shi couldn't help but feel pity for Sheng Yue Qing.

He logged into his large account and explained what happened that day, emphasizing that they were really just greeting each other, Sheng Yue Qing didn't scold anyone, and bumping Qin Wen's shoulder was because he walked too fast.

Qin Wen also reposted his Weibo, asking netizens not to spread rumors.

However, the comments below were still—

[Sheng Yue Qing is what kind of person we all know, President Gu, don't speak for him, anyway he won't thank you]

[Hug President Gu, did Sheng Yue Qing threaten you? Don't be afraid, we'll help you scold him!]

[Heartbroken for President Gu, baby is really a gentle little angel! He doesn't hold grudges even after being scolded, and even covers up for Sheng Yue Qing!]

Gu Xing Shi:

No!!

I'm super fierce! Super vengeful!

However, netizens' prejudice against Sheng Yue Qing was too deep, no matter what he said they wouldn't believe it, he could only helplessly give up in the end.

On the other hand, Sheng Yue Qing finished his work for the day and returned to his room.

But he didn't lie down in his room as usual, but his steps were a little joyful.

He even took out a diary he hadn't used for a long time and planned to write something.

However, as soon as he picked up his pen, he received a call from his manager, who impatiently said: "How are you on the hot search again? What's the deal with Qin Wen's manager? Didn't I tell you to be quiet these few days and not cause trouble?"

His words were like a basin of cold water, pouring over Sheng Yue Qing's head.

He was stunned for a moment, and quickly returned to his indifferent expression in the manager's scolding.

He was used to this kind of thing, anyway, no matter what he did, he would be scolded, even if he just sat in the corner and daydreamed, he would be considered to be sulking.

At first, he would feel sad, but now he didn't care anymore.

He perfunctorily "ummed" a few times, and after the manager hung up the phone, he didn't have the mood to write anything anymore. He heavily fell onto the bed and threw his phone aside.

But after a while, he picked up his phone again and nonchalantly opened a game, ruthlessly harvesting his opponents' lives.

After playing several rounds, he rubbed his eyes and prepared to rest for a while.

At this time, a Weibo pop-up window appeared. He saw the words "Sheng Yue Qing Scolds Qin Wen's Manager" and pursed his lips.

His hands were faster than his brain, clicking on Weibo.

The Weibo content was as usual, a picture, and then fabricated things he didn't do, and the comments below were all scolding him.

It was something he was used to, but this time, he unexpectedly felt a slight stinging pain in his heart.

Sheng Yue Qing unconsciously flipped through Weibo, but suddenly froze.

He actually saw Gu Xing Shi and Qin Wen explaining for him.

Sheng Yue Qing was stunned.

This was the first time someone had explained for him after he was misunderstood.

Although no one still believed it.

But his originally stinging heart seemed to suddenly heal, as if a small flower suddenly bloomed in a dry desert.

Gu Xing Shi.

Sheng Yue Qing murmured these three words in his heart.

Even the name is gentle.

-

Gu Xing Shi didn't take what happened that day to heart, because not long after, Qin Wen was about to enter the crew.

This time Gu Xing Shi only arranged for an assistant to go with him and didn't follow himself.

It wasn't that he didn't care; it was mainly because Meng Yuan Sheng and Cheng Xin were supposed to participate in a variety show, but Meng Yuan Sheng suddenly had a relapse of his waist injury and went to the hospital for treatment, leaving only Cheng Xin to participate alone.

Without the reliable Meng Yuan Sheng there to control Cheng Xin, with his personality and that mouth, he might send himself to the hot search in minutes.

Therefore, he could only temporarily put down Qin Wen and follow Cheng Xin to participate in the variety show.

This was an indoor variety show called "Weekend Showdown," with three hosts and five guests, playing games and promoting new songs or dramas.

On the way, Gu Xing Shi repeatedly warned Cheng Xin not to talk nonsense.

Cheng Xin obediently zipped his mouth.

Gu Xing Shi was relieved and arrived at the recording location. They greeted the host before entering the makeup room, where they saw a familiar blue head.

"Sheng Yue Qing?"

Gu Xing Shi exclaimed in surprise.

Sheng Yue Qing's body stiffened, then he turned his head. When he saw Gu Xing Shi, he was a little unbelievable.

He was added to this variety show today. He heard that an artist suddenly fell ill, so he was temporarily brought in.

Sheng Yue Qing knew very well that the company wouldn't be so kind as to give him a variety show, it must be using him to promote someone.

He's used to it.

He didn't care much about who it was and silently followed.

Who knew he would run into Gu Xing Shi.

So unexpectedly.

His palms instantly broke out in a sweat, and his neck felt like it was made of steel, unable to turn.

He had already decided that the next time he saw Gu Xing Shi, he would definitely greet him properly, not as stiff as the first time, and he had even practiced many times in front of the mirror.

But when he really met him, he still couldn't be relaxed.

Gu Xing Shi smiled and waved to him: "We meet again."

"Um." Sheng Yue Qing said, then quietly added, "I'm... very happy to see you."

"Me too." Gu Xing Shi smiled and introduced Cheng Xin to him, "This is our artist, Cheng Xin."

Sheng Yue Qing nodded to him: "Hello."

"Hello." Cheng Xin looked at him, then at Gu Xing Shi, hesitating to speak.

Gu Xing Shi couldn't stand it anymore: "What do you want to say again?"

Cheng Xin looked curiously at Sheng Yue Qing: "Is this your new lover?"

Sheng Yue Qing: "...!"

Gu Xing Shi: "You should just shut up."

Cheng Xin could only zip his mouth again in grievance.

Gu Xing Shi sighed helplessly.

Cheng Xin's mouth is probably hopeless.

Sheng Yue Qing looked at the two of them in shock, their natural and friendly interaction.

He had never seen the relationship between an artist and their manager like this.

He looked at Sheng Yue Qing apologetically: "Don't be angry, he doesn't talk much, but he doesn't have any bad intentions."

It was Cheng Xin who said the wrong thing, but Gu Xing Shi didn't seem to mind and hurriedly defended him.

"It's okay."

Sheng Yue Qing pursed his lips, suppressing the envy welling up in his heart.
