Chapter 90 Chapter 90

After returning home last night, Yan Zhiheng tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.

For all these years, his schedule has been very regular. He rarely stayed up late, let alone suffered from insomnia.

Finally, unable to sleep, he got up, poured himself a glass of red wine, and sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window to think.

After retiring from acting and going abroad, he lived a secluded life and didn't pay much attention to news from his home country.

Everyone thought he wanted to enjoy life to the fullest, but only he knew he didn't want to regret his decision.

His life was indeed very pleasant.

For example, going on vacation to private islands, or chartering a luxury yacht with everyone at his beck and call. Or, on a whim, he would fly to the Arctic in the middle of the night just for a Northern Lights dinner.

He had tasted the best cuisines from all over the world. Diving, skiing, golf… anything he wanted, he could do it whenever he pleased.

This kind of life was enjoyable, but after it ended, he always felt a strange sense of loss.

Until yesterday when Gu Xing Shi invited him to make a cameo appearance.

During the acting process, he seemed to rediscover that feeling of struggle and fulfillment.

He suddenly remembered that when he decided to quit the entertainment industry, Gu Jin had a big fight with him.

In the end, Gu Jin, unable to persuade him, gave a cold laugh: "I think you're just bored and have nothing better to do. Just wait, you'll regret it one day!"

This scene lingered in his mind, even Gu Jin's expression was crystal clear, and he couldn't forget it to this day.

Yan Zhiheng suddenly put down his glass, as if talking to himself: "I'm not regretting it, I just don't want these people to ruin my image… yes, that's it!"

He convinced himself, and then began to have people pack his things.

That night, the villa was brightly lit.

Yan Zhiheng had his own dedicated makeup artist and stylist. He asked them to fly to his home country the next day to meet him, while he took some luggage and went to Wen Yue's private jet.

Although he hadn't slept all night, Yan Zhiheng was still energetic, chatting with Gu Xing Shi about the situation in the domestic entertainment industry.

Compared to the two who were chatting happily, Wen Yue had a low-pressure atmosphere throughout the journey, his icy face making even the flight attendants dare not speak much.

Finally arriving in Beijing, Wen Yue was about to have someone take Yan Zhiheng away.

But Yan Zhiheng had already gotten off the plane with Gu Xing Shi, and didn't forget to instruct him: "Xing Shi and I will go to the company to take a look. You take care of the luggage."

Wen Yue: "..."

Tang Ling, who was responsible for picking them up, had just gotten out of the car when he saw his boss's gloomy expression, as if someone owed him millions.

Tang Ling was stunned.

He knew that Wen Yue's trip abroad was mainly for Gu Xing Shi.

As a thoughtful assistant, he not only arranged a sumptuous dinner, but also booked a hotel after dinner.

But… where was Mr. Gu?

Not only was Mr. Gu nowhere to be seen, but there were also two strangers behind Mr. Wen pushing mountains of luggage.

Seeing him, Wen Yue simply instructed him to have someone send the luggage to the hotel.

While calling to instruct people, Tang Ling quietly followed Wen Yue's pace.

In the car, this feeling became even more apparent.

Although Tang Ling didn't know what had happened, he knew that Wen Yue was in a bad mood, so he reported as concisely as possible, without saying a single extra word.

Compared to that side, the atmosphere between Gu Xing Shi and Yan Zhiheng was much more relaxed.

The car drove into the underground parking garage.

At this time, in a car not far away, two paparazzi were guarding with their cameras.

Paparazzo A couldn't help but complain: "Where's the big news? We haven't caught anything for days!"

Paparazzo B: "Don't worry! It's not that easy to get big news! We've worked so hard to get in, you need to be more patient."

Paparazzo A: "I say, what kind of news can we get from the company? We should go to the celebrities' private residences…"

Before he could finish, he was covered his mouth by Paparazzo B: "Shh, don't talk, look, is that Mr. Gu getting out of the car?"

Paparazzo A, whose mouth was covered, could only mumble: "What's new? Mr. Gu is the boss of Le Shi, it's normal for him to be here."

Paparazzo B: "I'm talking about the man next to him!"

Paparazzo A's eyes lit up instantly.

The two took out their cameras and took several pictures, until they got on the elevator, then they stopped taking pictures and checked the photos.

Paparazzo A: "Wow, this man is so handsome! Is he Mr. Gu's newly signed artist… hey, why does he look familiar?"

He muttered to himself for a long time, but Paparazzo B didn't speak, so he looked over in puzzlement, only to see him looking dazed. "What's wrong with you?"

Paparazzo B pointed at the man next to Gu Xing Shi in the photo, his voice trembling: "You don't recognize who he is?"

Paparazzo A: "Ah?"

Paparazzo B: "This is Yan Zhiheng!!!"

Paparazzo A: "!!!"

The two looked at each other, and at the same time saw three words in each other's eyes: Big! News!

The elevator stopped at Le Shi's floor.

The door opened, and several staff members saw Gu Xing Shi and exclaimed excitedly: "Mr. Gu!"

Gu Xing Shi greeted them, and was about to take Yan Zhiheng out when he saw them all freeze.

"Yan… Yan Zhiheng!!"

"Oh my god! Am I dreaming?"

"The male god!!!"

Even after a 10-hour flight, Yan Zhiheng was still in excellent condition, greeting them gracefully.

Le Shi's staff were battle-hardened, and they had seen many top celebrities in the industry. Gu Xing Shi had never seen them so flustered before.

When they entered the company, the situation didn't improve, but instead intensified.

Even Lin Xia Yu, who was always noble and cold, treated her opponents like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, softened her voice when shaking hands and greeting Yan Zhiheng, speaking softly, which was very uncomfortable.

Zhou Chengyan was also excited, rubbing his hands: "Mr. Gu, is Mr. Yan going to join our company? Do we need a PR plan? I can make seventeen or eighteen of them right now!"

Even the usually reclusive quail screenwriter group mustered up their courage to get Yan Zhiheng's autograph.

Gu Xing Shi finally witnessed what a true top star was like.

Compared to him, those so-called top stars were nothing.

The entire Le Shi was filled with the joy of chasing stars.

Perhaps the only ones who could remain calm were him and Cheng Xin.

Cheng Xin couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Gu, I have a question…"

Gu Xing Shi: "Hmm?"

Cheng Xin lowered his voice: "That is, Yan Zhiheng… is he also unlucky?"

Gu Xing Shi: "...Just shut up."

-

Meanwhile, the photos released by the paparazzi also caused a sensation online.

【Ahhhhhhh Is that Yan Zhiheng!!!】

【Yan Zhiheng and Mr. Gu??? An unexpected combination!!】

【Isn't it photoshopped?】

Technical experts immediately analyzed that there were no PS traces in the photos, and it was most likely real.

Following that, the paparazzi who released the photos also replied, confirming that they were taken in Le Shi's underground parking garage.

As soon as this was said, topics such as #YanZhihengReturns# and #YanZhihengGuXingShi# instantly topped the trending searches.

Weibo almost crashed.

Programmers worked overtime with tears in their eyes.

Whether it's 10086 or Mr. Gu, they are both my lifelong enemies!

However, netizens were already going crazy.

【Ahhhhhhh It's really Yan Zhiheng!! Is this really 2024?!】

【Unable to work, unable to study!! Ahhhhh my male god!】

【The year I fell in love with the male god, he retired from the entertainment industry. I thought I would never see him in person in my lifetime! Does anyone understand how I feel right now!!】

【Although I don't know how Mr. Gu persuaded the male god, let's bow to Mr. Gu first!】

There were some rational analyses of his career.

【Yan Zhiheng is back? Is he making a comeback??】

【So Yan Zhiheng is from Le Shi, Mr. Gu has good resources in the film and television industry, is the male god going to make a comeback to make movies?】

【Yan Zhiheng was a triple-threat star in film, television, and music back then, he might not be returning to movies, maybe he'll even have a concert!】

Those who simply loved his looks.

【This face, this waist, these long legs! Bro, you're so handsome! [drooling]】

【The male god is over forty! What's the difference from when he was twenty!】

【No wonder people say that the aesthetics of the entertainment industry have been downgraded, it turns out that my mother and her generation enjoyed such good things!】

And a small group of restless CP fans.

【Isn't anyone shipping Mr. Gu and the male god?】

【Cough cough cough, inside information, the male god and Wen Shi's Wen Yue are uncle and nephew, and Mr. Gu and Mr. Wen are said to be lovers…】

【Suddenly I have a vision of a certain Jiang "marrying her boyfriend's uncle"… Sorry!】

【You guys are still shipping too conservatively, what's wrong with uncle and nephew! Isn't the sandwich more exciting!】

【Wow, exciting! Sister, you're amazing, how many Haitang fruits did you eat at one go!】

…

Wen Yue saw the comments online and his face became even uglier.

Tang Ling had already learned about the situation from the flight crew and couldn't help but sympathize with Mr. Wen.

If he wasn't his uncle, he wouldn't have done something so bad to his nephew.

But sympathy aside, he still had to bite the bullet and ask: "Mr. Wen, shall we arrange a different restaurant tonight…"

He had originally arranged a romantic and ambiguous couple's restaurant, but with the addition of Yan Zhiheng, an elder, it needed to be more formal.

Unexpectedly, Wen Yue said: "No need to change."

Tang Ling: "Ah?"

Wen Yue stood up: "Go to Le Shi."

At this time, Le Shi was already surrounded by countless reporters, all wanting to interview Gu Xing Shi and Yan Zhiheng.

After all, if Yan Zhiheng really returned to the entertainment industry, the landscape of the entertainment industry might change.

Wen Yue got on the elevator with a cold expression, unexpectedly bumping into Yan Zhiheng and Gu Xing Shi's group who were coming down.

Yan Zhiheng saw Wen Yue and was a little puzzled: "What are you doing here?"

Wen Yue: "..."

This annoying uncle.

He said indifferently: "I'm taking Xing Shi out to dinner."

"Not tonight," Yan Zhiheng refused without hesitation, "A few of my old friends called and said they wanted to get together, I'll take Xing Shi to meet them."

Yan Zhiheng's old friends were all top figures in the entertainment industry.

Wen Yue certainly couldn't stop Gu Xing Shi from such a good opportunity.

He could only endure it: "If that's the case, I'll take you there."

"No, no," Yan Zhiheng cruelly rejected him again, "I've already had the driver come, aren't you busy? Don't stand here."

Wen Yue: "..."

The group went down the elevator as before.

Yan Zhiheng's driver arrived soon, and he motioned for Gu Xing Shi to get in the car.

But Gu Xing Shi looked towards Wen Yue.

Although he got in the car, he didn't leave.

Gu Xing Shi saw Wen Yue's state on the plane.

He also felt a little sorry.

He thought that all this time, it was Wen Yue who came to him.

Then today, he would take that step.

Gu Xing Shi said to Yan Zhiheng: "Brother Yan, wait for me."

After saying that, he ran towards Wen Yue.

Wen Yue had been watching this side, and when he saw Gu Xing Shi coming over, he was a little stunned, but quickly lowered the car window: "What's wrong?"

Gu Xing Shi bent down: "Come closer, I have something to tell you."

Wen Yue, unsuspecting, leaned his head closer.

Gu Xing Shi lowered his head.

Wen Yue only felt a softness on his lips.

His mind went blank instantly.
