Different from the joyful atmosphere on Qi Xingchen's side, in the H City Public Security Bureau Detention Center, Xu Sheng's father Xu Changlin looked at his son sitting on a bench, his eyes trembling with anger, his face flushed the color of liver.
"Tell me what you were thinking at the time, huh? There were so many women, why couldn't you just pick any one of them? Why did you have to bully the actors in the same crew?"
Xu Sheng rested his elbows on his knees, his fingers buried in his hair. The three-month detention made him lose a lot of weight, and his beard started to grow like bamboo shoots after rain.
His voice was hoarse: "I don't know, I didn't want to drink that much...but I couldn't control myself!"
Seeing his son hesitating, Xu Changlin kicked him. "You can't control your dick, and you can't control your mouth? Who the hell did you mess with?"
"I, I don't know, I don't know anything!" Xu Sheng was kicked by him, holding his stomach, his face twisted in pain, "I was clearly an attempted rape, why did it become fraud, why did it become a five-year sentence......"
He struggled to get up and hugged Xu Changlin's thighs, "Dad, save me, I don't want to spend five years in jail, I don't want to!"
Attempted rape shall be convicted as rape and given a lighter punishment than completed rape. Xu Sheng's crime was not considered serious. He was originally sentenced to more than a year with six months' probation. If his father used some connections to smooth things over, he would basically not have to go to jail.
But for some reason, yesterday his crime was suddenly changed to financial fraud, and it was a financial fraud of a huge amount, and the sentence was changed to five years.
Even if he could get a suspended sentence, even if his father could use his connections to smooth things over, he would still inevitably end up in jail.
When he is released from prison, the times will have changed. Where will he find a place in the entertainment industry?
Seeing his son crying with snot and tears, Xu Changlin felt very disappointed, but he couldn't bear to move his feet anymore. He said coldly, "Let go of me, stand up, and act like a man."
Xu Sheng had been afraid of his father's stern face since he was a child. He wiped his tears and snot, got up, and stood beside the bench at a loss.
Xu Changlin motioned him to be quiet and dialed a phone number: "Director Jiang, let's not beat around the bush. Can you tell me who wants to change Xiaosheng's charges?"
"I can't tell you if I don't tell you! Brother, please don't make things difficult for me. I'm being nice enough to let you go to the detention center to see him. Can you please not make me feel embarrassed?"
"Director Jiang, I'm not trying to embarrass you. If I don't understand the whole story, I won't even know how to help Xiao Sheng get a reduced sentence. I've had a long-standing relationship with our mayor, and I've come to visit you across several provinces every year. What do you think..."
Xu Changlin is from another province, but due to business dealings, he has always had a good relationship with the top leaders of the city. Finally, Director Jiang couldn't stand it anymore and said hesitantly, "I definitely can't tell you who it is. Anyway, don't mess with people named Qi in the future. I have something to do here, so I'll hang up first..."
After saying that, Director Jiang quickly turned off his phone. Xu Changlin held the phone in his hand and pondered in silence.
"The surname is Qi..." Xu Sheng, who was listening to the conversation, murmured, "There is a person named Qi in the crew... It must be him, it must be Qi Xingchen!"
In order to leave early that night, Qi Xingchen felt like a god of war. We shot scene after scene, and from time to time we would take out a tissue to wipe our nose.
Finally completing the task, he ran to the nanny car like flying. Lao Qin is old and tends to suffer from high blood pressure if he stays up late at night, so he was sent back to the hotel to rest. Now there are only two of them in the car.
An Ran looked worried: "Xingxing, can you really drive for two hours by yourself?"
City S is not far from City H. It takes 40 minutes by plane and 3 hours by car on the highway.
When taking public transportation, you might run into media, which is very troublesome. So he thought about it and decided to drive An Ran there himself.
In the real world, he drove a minivan that pulled props for an acrobatic troupe. The original owner could also drive, and he was familiar with the buttons of this car. "No problem, let me figure it out."
"But you're taking cold medicine. Will you feel dizzy and unable to concentrate?"
"......How dare you say that," Qi Xingchen felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife. "You lied to me that drinking ginger soup can drive away the cold, it's all pseudoscience, but I still have a cold, right?"
An Ran shrank back and went to buy coffee while he was complaining. After drinking coffee, the two set off, feeling terrified all the way. Three hours later, they finally arrived safely at the S City Stadium.
Afraid that others here might recognize his license plate number, Qi Xingchen parked the car in a corner and informed Allen.
Ten minutes later, Allen got in the car and said in surprise, "Wow, Xingxing, you drove here by yourself, that's great! The boss has reserved a parking space for you, drive to the employee area at the back."
Qi Xingchen drove into the staff area as he said and stopped side by side with Bai Ye's nanny car.
The music festival had already started for half an hour, and there was still a long time before Bai Ye's show. Qi Xingchen felt itchy and asked tentatively: "Is Brother Ye preparing in the backstage?"
Allen said, "Hmm," and said, "I was just about to get my hair done when I came out."
"He's been busy this afternoon?"
"The new album has entered the final stage. You know him. He will revise it if he is not satisfied with anything. The post-production engineer revised the plan twice this afternoon..."
At this point, Allen understood what Qi Xingchen meant, "Xingxing, do you want to see the boss?"
Qi Xingchen: "It's not necessary to see..."
"I have my work ID," Allen got out of the car first, "I'll take you in."
Although he said no, Qi Xingchen followed Allen and said, "Sister An Ran, go in first, I'll find you later."
While walking backstage, he asked Allen not to tell Bai Ye that he drove here by himself.
Allen nodded, then pushed open the door to the Baiye exclusive lounge, "Dangdangdangdang! Look who's here!"
Hearing this, everyone turned to the door, and Qi Xingchen's cheeks became hot when they looked at him. The sight automatically filters and searches, and finally stops in front of the makeup mirror.
The person he wanted to see the most.
"Come in," Bai Ye said, "Alan, help Xingxing find a stool."
Qi Xingchen followed Bai Ye's instructions and walked behind him. Allen very servilely dragged a stool over.
"Just now?" Bai Ye asked.
Qi Xingchen sat down and nodded.
Xiao Man looked at him in the makeup mirror and said, "Xingxing, did you specially do your hair? The stylist's skills are just so-so."
Qi Xingchen's cheeks became even hotter, and Bai Ye said helplessly: "Xiao Man, he is thin-skinned, don't tease him."
Qi Xingchen was not happy to hear Bai Ye defending himself in front of others. He slid his body on his knees and made small talk. "There are still three hours before your show."
"Almost. How did you get here?"
"Lao Qin is driving." Qi Xingchen lied.
Allen glanced at him dimly and almost suffocated. In fact, Qi Xingchen said this to prevent Bai Ye from scolding him. After all, it sounds particularly inappropriate for an artist to drive on the highway for three hours to watch a concert.
Bai Ye did not doubt him, and after chatting for a few more minutes, Qi Xingchen got up and left for fear of disturbing everyone's work.
After finding her position, An Ran had already entered the state and was watching with great interest. Qi Xingchen was afraid of being recognized, so he buttoned up his hoodie and whispered, "Sister An Ran, can you bring the things in?"
"Well, I'll take care of it as you requested. Don't worry."
An Ran was doing things in a safe and reliable manner, so Qi Xingchen didn't ask too many questions and watched the performance seriously.
Although he came here for Kashiwa Ye, all the artists' selling performances should not be ignored.
The Dongcheng program is very well arranged, and there are almost no boring moments throughout. In the second half of the performance, he saw a familiar face.
Wei Qin, whom I just met last night.
However, he is an artist selected from the Dongcheng TV talent show, so it is reasonable for him to appear here. Qi Xingchen pretended to rub his nose and raised his hands to cover his face.
When interacting with the audience at the front of the stage, Wei Qin's gaze paused for a moment, then moved away. It was unclear whether he was looking at him or not.
After Wei Qin, there are only two groups of programs left, Bai Ye. Qi Xingchen couldn't help but get excited in advance, "Sister An Ran, take out the things quickly!"
An Ran opened the box and took out two banners, two dark blue glow sticks - Bai Ye's support color is dark blue, a sticker, and two Mickey Mouse ear flashing headbands.
Qi Xingchen was very satisfied with the things in front of him, but he immediately showed a rejection expression when he saw the headband: "I don't want to wear this."
[Recommendation, Zhuishu is really useful, you can download it here and try it out. 】
"But there's nothing shiny, so Brother Ye won't be able to recognize you." An Ran curled her lips.
Not daring to be too ostentatious, Qi Xingchen did not make a light sign. There are glow sticks everywhere in the night sky, and it seems that he is not easy to be seen here.
Qi Xingchen hesitated for a moment, and An Ran persuaded him: "Just wear it for three songs, it's not shameful at all, it's okay."
Qi Xingchen reluctantly put the hairband on his head.
There was still no sticker left, so An Ran tore off the smallest Bo Ye Q version and stuck it on Qi Xingchen's left cheek while covering her heart:
Damn, the stars are so cute!
Such fair skin! These sparkling puppy eyes! This little smooth bangs! With Mickey headband......
They're all so cute that they're going to vomit blood!
You big pig's hoof Bai Ye, you must treat my Xingxing well, or I will never forgive you, boohoo!
Qi Xingchen didn't know what An Ran was thinking and concentrated on fiddling with the glow stick. After the two of them finished, the host came out to announce the show and the lights were dimmed.
The entire venue immediately lit up with a dark blue sea, and cheers like a tidal wave -
"Kashiya! Kashiya! Kashiya!"
