Chapter 58: Independent

Shao Ang's refusal was ineffective.

As early as when he agreed to exchange resources with Lu Bai, he was already tied to the other party.

Perhaps Shao Ang's attitude was too resolute, or perhaps he didn't trust him enough, Lu Bai didn't let Shao Ang take action again, but continued to inquire about the news as before.

Shao Ang felt a little uneasy. He felt that something big was about to happen. He wanted to remind Xie Tingsi, but hesitated.

His hesitation delayed until the incident happened.

Only then did he realize that Lu Bai had secretly planned something big and had let someone else do it, and that person turned out to be Xie Tingsi's personal assistant.

He was shocked, but it seemed that he was not that shocked. Shao Ang was aware of Lu Bai's stubbornness and his determination to teach Xie Tingsi a lesson.

If there was no external interference, Xie Tingsi would have been injured sooner or later, but he did not expect it to happen so suddenly, and the person who caused him injury was Xie Tingsi's most trusted assistant Cheng Hui.

Shao Ang didn't expect a solution, Xie Tingsi had already come to his door and had evidence.

He knew that it was futile to try to argue, so he decided to just confess and give the truth.

"I'm sorry, I told Lu Bai a lot about you."

"But I didn't tell him who you were."

For various reasons, Shao Ang hesitated whether to tell Lu Bai the identity of Xie Tingsi, but in the end he did not open his mouth, even though he had the thought of using his identity to make Lu Bai stop.

Shao Ang's heart leans towards Xie Tingsi, who comes from a wealthy family. He originally looked for a good opportunity to confess to Xie Tingsi.

The day Cheng Hui took action was also the day he was ready to confess.

Shao Ang quietly raised his eyes and observed Xie Tingsi's reaction. He was very nervous and said, "I wanted to be honest with you that day. You are my friend and I have absolutely no intention of hurting you."

"I'm just afraid that we can't be friends anymore. You are the first true friend I made in the entertainment industry." Shao Ang expressed his true feelings with tears in his eyes.

Xie Tingsi pinched his thigh uncomfortably, he knew Shao Ang was not lying.

But no matter how he tried to cover it up, it was still betrayal.

"Why didn't you tell me the truth at the beginning?" Xie Tingsi was very sober.

If Shao Ang had told him at that time, Xie Tingsi would have been happy to let Shao Ang contact Lu Bai. After all, it was rare to find someone who gave away resources for free, and it would also be good for Shao Ang.

Xie Tingsi is very flexible. The only thing he cares about is Shao Ang's concealment and betrayal.

"You think I won't agree, because you can't let go of the easy gains over your first true friend."

Xie Tingsi pointed directly to the core issue. Shao Ang lowered his head in shame. He raised his head and took a big sip of wine: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

"It's my greed, my hypocrisy, my heartless heart."

Shao Ang also felt uncomfortable.

"Oh." Xie Tingsi felt worse than him. He thought he would be calm inside.

Actually, no.

His heart is not made of iron. Xie Tingsi treats everyone around him with sincerity, but Cheng Hui and Shao Ang stab him in the back without hesitation.

Xie Tingsi made up his mind: "Let's break up."

"I don't want to be friends with you anymore."

Shao Ang suddenly raised his head and his eyes suddenly turned red.

"I will find someone else to play your role."

"Shao Ang, I am very stingy and will not support someone who betrays me."

Xie Tingsi tightened his handsome face and had a firm attitude.

Shao Ang's lips trembled. He turned his head away and a tear fell from his eyes. He did not try to stop her: "I know. I will leave on my own."

"I'm sorry for betraying your trust."

Shao Ang's attitude of apology was much more sincere than Cheng Hui's: "I will give you the benefits I got from Lu Bai over the past year."

"I know you don't want it, but you deserve it."

"I don't want any breach of contract fee either."

Xie Tingsi: "I really don't care."

"This is the price you pay to sell out your friend. I find it dirty."

He did not follow Shao Ang's rhythm. Xie Tingsi could not tolerate betrayal and he had his own persistence.

"You should go through the normal procedures for breach of contract fees. I was the one who breached the contract first."

Xie Tingsi would never take Shao Ang's money because he thought it was disgusting.

"Shao Ang, you better be aware of yourself."

He looked directly into Shao Ang's eyes and said, "I won't ban you. That's it."

Xie Tingsi looked at Shao Ang, who was obviously relieved, and just felt tired.

"Listen, thank you." The only thing Shao Ang could grasp was his future, and of course he only chose his future at the beginning.

Xie Tingsi: "Never see you again."

He walked to the door, his steps hesitant: "I recorded the entire conversation today."

“Don’t do unnecessary things.”

Shao Ang was stunned for a moment, then understood his hidden message: "I won't hurt you, nor will I do anything unnecessary."

Xie Tingsi suddenly turned around, glared at Shao Ang fiercely, and roared: "You are already hurt!"

He took a deep breath and walked away, leaving Shao Ang alone.

Don’t waste time talking to trash people, they are all trash, don’t make yourself sad, Xie Tingsi kept comforting himself.

He walked briskly to the front of the car with a cold face and said, "Go to the crew."

Work makes him happy, work makes him numb.

Fan Bo and Ning Xin looked at each other, and Ning Xin asked worriedly, "Boss, are you okay?"

Ning Xin is an assistant who was on paid annual leave due to her father's illness. She recently returned to her job and is unfamiliar with many things at work.

Xie Tingsi rubbed his brows and did not get angry with other staff members because of Cheng Hui and Shao Ang's matter.

"I'm not feeling well. I'll digest it myself."

Ning Xin responded quickly: "Okay."

"Give me a bottle of wine... Forget it, give me a bottle of water." Xie Tingsi remembered that he had to shoot a scene the next morning and couldn't afford to get edema.

Ningxin quickly took out a bottle of mineral water from the car refrigerator and carefully opened the bottle cap.

"Thank you." Xie Tingsi took it. The cold water flowed down his throat and reached his stomach, and his anger dissipated a lot.

"Shao Ang and I are no longer friends." Xie Tingsi reminded.

"I understand." Fan Bo looked calm.

Although Ning Xin was shocked, she was more worried about her boss: "Okay, I understand."

Xie Tingsi took out his cell phone and looked through his address book. He had a lot of friends, but he didn't want to tell them.

His finger fell on the chat interface with Shen Baili, typing and deleting in the input box.

"Xiao Lihua, I'm so sad."

“Crying emoji.jpg”

Xie Tingsi glanced at the time, it was past ten o'clock in the evening.

Xiao Lihua should be asleep.

The next second, he received a reply, which was the system's built-in hug emoticon package.

Shen Baili also shared a song with him, and Xie Tingsi clicked on it out of curiosity.

"It's not a sin for a man to cry..."

A hoarse and rough male voice echoed in the quiet carriage. Fan Bo and Ning Xin looked at Xie Tingsi at the same time.

Xie Tingsi: "..."

"Cry, I won't laugh at you." Shen Baili comforted him forcefully.

Xie Tingsi calmly plugged in his headphones and said, "I'm going to listen to a song."

After this little episode, Xie Tingsi's negative emotions were relieved a lot.

He listened to the song while chatting with Shen Baili: "Little Lihua, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Shen Baili: "You came to chat with me."

Xie Tingsi: "...You are good at chatting."

Shen Baili: "Thank you?"

Xie Tingsi: "You're welcome. Do you have a gift you want? I'll bring it back for you."

Shen Baili patted the panda doll's head, then she threw herself on the bed and chatted with Xie Tingsi.

gift?

"No." Shen Baili didn't want any gift.

"Really? Don't be polite to my second brother." Xie Tingsi leaned back in his chair: "For example, concert tickets, celebrity autographs, tickets to watch variety shows?"

"Who do you like? Even my second brother can get an autograph." He started from Shen Baili's pain point.

Shen Baili doesn't chase stars, she just watches dramas and listens to music in her free time.

"My second brother has already given me Bo Ru's concert tickets and autograph."

Xie Tingsi: "You like Bai Ru so much? Next time, I'll take you to see him."

He has a good relationship with Bai Ru.

Shen Baili: "Thank you, second brother."

She was sleepy, her eyelids twitching up and down: "I'm sleepy."

She muttered.

"We are a family, no need to say thank you."

"Are you sure you don't want a gift? Well, there's nothing interesting here on the set."

"I'll give you something interesting if I find it."

"You slept?"

"Good night."

Xie Tingsi was not sleepy, so he opened another dialog box and started typing away, harassing Xie Zhiyu.

His elder brother must not have slept.

"Brother, you didn't sleep, did you? I can't sleep."

Xie Zhiyu, who has been working overtime and drinking coffee to wake up, said: "."

He put down his coffee and made a phone call, which Xie Tingsi picked up within seconds.

"What happened?" Xie Zhiyu asked Xie Tingsi.

Xie Tingsi's voice was full of praise and praise: "I solved it all!"

"I met Cheng Hui and Shao Ang..." He was full of desire to express himself and told Xie Zhiyu everything that happened.

Xie Zhiyu listened carefully, and the call fell silent, leaving only the sound of each other's breathing.

After a few seconds, Xie Zhiyu's gentle and low voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Don't be sad."

“You did a great job.”

Xie Tingsi's nose felt sore and he wanted to cry again, then he shared the playlist of "Men Need to Cry" with Xie Zhiyu.

Xie Zhiyu: “…”

His brother has very unique taste.

…

At noon the next day, an explosive hot search appeared out of nowhere.
