Chapter 57 Chapter 57 Pei Simo, is this a confession? ...

Wen Yunzhi looked around vigilantly.

Hasn't she ever been a star but also chased after stars?

Usually in this situation, there are paparazzi around.

What's more, for stars like her and Zhou Yixuan who suddenly became popular, there are even more people squatting around them.

Besides, auditions are not a secret, and people in the industry know about it.

Zhou Yixuan is looking for her now, or going to the car, it must be a scam.

"I have things to do. For business matters, you can contact my agent. For personal matters... I don't think we have any personal matters."

Wen Yunzhi wanted to leave after she finished speaking, but Zhou Yixuan rolled down the window, looked at her through the tiny gap and said, "Teacher Wen, I have a lot of ideas about this project. We can discuss it."

Wen Yunzhi looked at Zhou Yixuan's gentle eyes revealed through the glass, which were described by fans as "unparalleled in the world".

She didn't know what Zhou Yixuan was trying to do.

There is no such person in the original book.

Wen Yunzhi looked at Zhou Yixuan and said, "Come down."

Zhou Yixuan hesitated for two seconds and waved to the assistant beside him.

The assistant ran to the window, and he whispered something in the assistant's ear before getting out of the car.

As soon as he got out of the car, Wen Yunzhi took a step back, keeping a proper distance from him before speaking:

"Teacher Zhou is currently auditioning, but I've already been chosen as the female lead, so it's better for us to keep some distance from each other. What do you think?"

Zhou Yixuan didn't know what to say and could only smile.

His assistant did something unknown and came back quickly, standing behind Zhou Yixuan.

This is the Henian studio. It is very quiet around here and there are no staff members.

Even if there are paparazzi, those people can't hear what they are saying.

Zhou Yixuan looked at Wen Yun and knew: "Teacher Wen, I think our cooperation can maximize the value of this play. After all, it's a no-brainer to choose a newcomer for safety, so you should choose me."

Wen Yunzhi guessed that Zhou Yixuan was not as pure as he appeared.

In the entertainment industry, which is a big dye vat, how many people can stay out of the mud completely?

Wen Yunzhi said, "I value the value of an actor, not the extras. So you and Lin Shuyu are the same in my eyes, and I am just an actor. If you want to make an internal decision, you should look for Pei Simo or He Nian."

Zhou Yixuan smiled and said frankly, "Everyone in the industry knows how important Teacher Wen is to President Pei. You were the one who decided on the female lead from the beginning, so the male lead should still be chosen according to your opinion."

Wen Yunzhi found it strange that Zhou Yixuan was so obsessed with this drama, and asked: "Logically speaking, since you were so popular last time, you shouldn't be interested in Qingle Zhuan for your next drama, right? This is a drama with a strong female lead, and the male lead is just a pendant of the female lead."

Many male celebrities with high status would not choose such a drama.

After all, there are so many dramas with male protagonists. It is not good to choose a drama like this which has almost no added value and play a supporting role for others.

Zhou Yixuan kept a faint smile on his face, as if the winter sun was refreshing, but his words were sinister and cunning, "Teacher Wen, why do you have to ask when you already know the answer? Don't we all have the same purpose?"

"You are really good at using connections. Who has the same relationship with you? Besides...even if you want to cooperate with me, it's too insincere."

Wen Yunzhi said this and turned to look at the door. There was a person holding a camera stealthily, occasionally looking into the house, as if filming something.

Zhou Yixuan was stunned, and the smile on his face froze, "I don't understand what Teacher Wen is saying."

"If you don't know Teacher Zhou, that's easy."

Wen Yunzhi looked at the girl who was still leaning in to take pictures without knowing what was going on.

As she spoke, she picked up her phone and pointed it in the direction of the girl.

The girl noticed Wen Yunzhi's action and immediately turned around and ran away.

But Wen Yunzhi pressed the shutter button very quickly, and although the girl ran away, he still managed to capture a few photos of her profile.

Zhou Yixuan immediately turned around and scolded the assistant beside him, "Didn't I tell you to keep these paparazzi from coming in?"

The assistant was a little scared and quickly bowed his head to apologize, "I'm sorry, Teacher Zhou, Teacher Wen, I'll go check it out right away."

Wen Yunzhi lowered his head and was about to put away his phone, but suddenly he glanced at the photo he had just taken. The bracelet on the girl's hand looked very familiar.

She pretended not to know and put away her phone, looking at Zhou Yixuan and said, "Teacher Zhou and I really don't have any private matters, so I'm leaving first."

After saying that, she left.

Xiaojing and the driver have already arrived at the parking lot.

Wen Yunzhi got in the car, but was not in a hurry to ask the driver to drive.

She handed the phone to Xiao Jing, "Do you know this person?"

Xiao Jing looked at the photo on the phone, frowning and thinking, and after a long time, he said: "It seems that she was on the hot search. Her name is Xiaoyuan. She is Zhou Yixuan's illegitimate fan. She has been banned countless times by Zhou Yixuan's anti-black website. But because she always produces the pictures the fastest and of high quality, she also has a lot of leg hair." (Leg hair refers to the followers of the star's big fans.)

"This Xiaoyuan is really amazing. She can get all of Zhou Yixuan's undisclosed schedules, and the pictures she takes are super clear. Many people have become fans because of the pictures she took." Xiaojing added.

Wen Yunzhi asked: "Very famous?"

Xiao Jing nodded, "Because she's very pretty, she's pretty popular. Anyway, her videos get a lot of likes."

Wen Yunzhi was a little speechless, "Are you so tolerant of sasaeng fans now?"

Xiao Jing shrugged, "Maybe because she hasn't done anything else, some younger fans don't think it's a big deal. Boss, how did you take this photo? Did she just follow Zhou Yixuan?"

Wen Yunzhi did not directly respond to Xiaojing's question, but enlarged the photo to reveal the bracelet. Then she used Xiaojing's phone to find Zhou Yixuan's airport photo and enlarged the photo to the wrist, where she could also see the bracelet.

The two bracelets are identical and even though the photo is a bit blurry, the print is still recognizable.

Xiao Jing looked at the photo and murmured, "It's normal for a private fan to buy the same items as their idol."

Wen Yunzhi also knew.

These two photos alone could not prove her suspicions.

Wen Yunzhi called Pei Simo.

Pei Simo answered the phone quickly, and his voice came in a deliberately low voice, "What's wrong?"

Wen Yunzhi also got straight to the point without any greetings, "Help me investigate someone."

For people like them, it should be easy to investigate them personally.

Xiao Jing was a little shocked.

Is her boss trying to get Pei Simo to do something?

That’s Pei Simo.

But Pei Simo himself was not shocked at all, he just asked, "Who is it?"

"Zhou Yixuan and his illegitimate fan Xiaoyuan, help me check their whereabouts during this period."

"good."

Pei Simo agreed quickly, but paused and asked, "Do you have any plans tonight? If not, would you like to have dinner together?"

Seeing this, Xiao Jing said tactfully, "Boss, you don't have any plans tonight."

Pei Simo's tone was obviously delighted, "Then I'll pick you up in the evening."

Wen Yunzhi hung up the phone, raised his hand and poked Xiaojing's forehead, and asked the driver to drive her back to the villa first.

The moment she opened the door, Wen Yun couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Boss, have you not been home for a long time? Why are you here?"

Xiao Jing was a little confused. In her memory, this had always been Wen Yunzhi's house.

Wen Yunzhi didn't explain much to Xiao Jing, but just followed her words and said, "Living in the program crew is not as comfortable as your own home."

Xiaojing nodded, as if he understood.

"Xiao Jing, you go back first."

"Then call me if you have anything to say."

Xiao Jing said this and walked out of the room.

Wen Yunzhi took a tour.

The system is reliable. Not only is the villa decorated in the style she likes, but even clothes, toiletries and other things have been purchased and neatly placed where they should be.

Wen Yunzhi lay on the sofa contentedly, looking up at the ceiling, gradually feeling sleepy.

After an unknown amount of time, the ringing of her cell phone interrupted her rest.

Wen Yunzhi opened his eyes dazedly, picked up the phone and found that it was Pei Simo calling.

She pressed the answer button to her ear, "Hello..."

Pei Simo's voice came from the phone, "Just woke up? I'm at the gate of the community now."

Wen Yunzhi was awakened by this and quickly stood up, "Oh, I'll be there right away."

She ran to the bathroom and looked in the mirror to see that her makeup was not smudged by sleeping, then she felt relieved. She ran to the bedroom to change her clothes and sprayed some perfume before leaving.

When they arrived at the gate of the community, Wen Yunzhi saw Pei Simo leaning against a car that looked very valuable.

Seeing her come out, Pei Simo opened the passenger door.

Wen Yunzhi got into the passenger seat and looked at Pei Simo curiously and asked, "Do you also know about my villa?"

She clearly had not revealed this address to Pei Simo.

Pei Simo steered the car without looking at Wen Yunzhi, but he responded without hesitation, "I didn't know it at first, but suddenly I had an extra memory when I landed. Is this house a reward from the system?"

It was the first time that Wen Yunzhi heard the word "system" from Pei Simo's mouth.

She asked, "You know the system too? You have it too."

Pei Simo replied: "I guess so, but I don't have any missions, and no rewards."

Wen Yunzhi fell into deep thought.

That would be strange.

Based on the countless book-traveling novels she had read, the system must have some effect.

But Pei Simo's case was quite unexpected.

The car quickly drove to the door of a hot pot restaurant.

Wen Yunzhi saw the shop at the door from the window and was delighted. "Hot pot."

Pei Simo parked the car in a parking space on the side of the road, looked at Wen Yunzhi and said, "Well, remember to eat here last time since I didn't come here. I checked this restaurant and it has a good reputation."

Wen Yunzhi and Pei Simo got out of the car and walked into the hot pot restaurant together.

Pei Simo booked a private room in advance.

Wen Yunzhi had several must-eat dishes for hot pot. She quickly ordered them and handed them to Pei Simo, "Take a look at what you want to eat."

Pei Simo did not take the menu, but said, "Just watch it, I'm fine with anything."

Wen Yunzhi did not refuse, thinking that someone like Pei Simo, who lived a life of luxury, would not know what dishes were best for hotpot, so he ordered a few more himself and then handed them to the waiter.

Pei Simo took off his coat and looked at Wen Yun who was playing with his phone. He said, "You asked me to look into Zhou Yixuan's matter before, and I have some clues."

Wen Yunzhi quickly put down his phone and looked up at Pei Simo, "So fast?"

This speed is really fast.

Pei Simo said slowly: "It's not difficult to find out. Xiaoyuan is everywhere Zhou Yixuan is, and this includes when Zhou Yixuan returned to his hometown for the New Year this year."

Wen Yunzhi held his chin up and thought for a while before saying, "Are you saying that Xiaoyuan went back to her hometown with Zhou Yixuan during the Chinese New Year this year?"

Pei Simo did not answer the call. Instead, he took out his cell phone and fumbled around for a while before handing it to Wen Yunzhi.

Wen Yunzhi took a look and didn't take it seriously, "Wasn't this a photo of Zhou Yixuan returning to the countryside?"

But she quickly responded, "You mean... the person who took this photo was Madoka?"

Pei Simo nodded, "I asked someone to check, and it is indeed the same IP as Xiaoyuan, just using different accounts. There are even many encounter pictures and airport pictures that Xiaoyuan posted using different accounts."

Wen Yunzhi was somewhat surprised, and just drank a glass of water before saying, "Can we find out their relationship? Like, boyfriend and girlfriend?"

Pei Simo quickly understood what Wen Yunzhi meant and asked, "Do you suspect they are in love?"

Wen Yunzhi pointed to the picture on Pei Simo's phone, which showed Zhou Yixuan's wrist, and said, "The bracelet on Xiaoyuan's hand is a couple's bracelet with Zhou Yixuan. I was just suspicious at first, but now it's basically confirmed, but there's no evidence."

Pei Simo said: "Evidence is easy to find. As long as the two of them had contact, there will be evidence."

Wen Yunzhi nodded.

At this moment, the bottom of the pot was already bubbling.

Wen Yunzhi picked up a piece of tripe and put it in the hot pot. "Look, the tripe is cooked to the perfect temperature. Learn from me."

Pei Simo followed Wen Yunzhi's example and picked up a piece of tripe and put it into the pot, then picked it up and put it down again.

After some hesitation, he put it in his mouth half-believingly, but raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Wen Yunzhi in surprise.

Wen Yunzhi knew it was delicious from his expression, but he still asked proudly, "Isn't it delicious?"

Pei Simo nodded.

Wen Yunzhi hadn't eaten hot pot for a long time since he came here, and it was so delicious that he couldn't stop eating it.

Just as the two were eating happily, Wen Yunzhi's cell phone rang.

She took out her cell phone and found it was Xiaojing calling.

Wen Yunzhi knew that Xiaojing usually didn't call her, so she picked up the phone and put it to her ear, "Hello."

Xiao Jing urged anxiously, "Sister Wen, check the trending searches."

Wen Yunzhi frowned, but did not hang up the phone. Instead, he opened Weibo directly.

Pei Simo also heard Xiao Jing's voice on the other end of the phone and took out his phone.

Wen Yunzhi looked at the trending searches on Weibo.

#Zhou Yixuan Youth Music Male Lead##Zhou Yixuan Wen Yunzhi##Zhou Yixuan Suitable#

Each entry is basically a positive comment on Zhou Yixuan.

Wen Yunzhi clicked on the entry related to her.

There is a picture of two people chatting by the car in the afternoon.

It's obvious that the photo was taken from the direction of the door.

That is, it was written by Madoka.

This picture uses the technique of borrowing positions, making the two people appear very close, and even the atmosphere is a bit ambiguous.

But in the afternoon there was at least one person between the two people.

Wen Yunzhi also clicked on the remaining entries, most of which were about Zhou Yixuan being suitable as the male lead in Youthful Joy.

I don’t know whether the comments are from real people or trolls, but most of them are exaggerations.

[I am a fan of the original novel. Zhou Yixuan is very suitable for the male lead. 】

[Yes, I haven't seen it, but after looking at the introduction and photos, I think it fits the description.]

[I have the most say, I always see Zhou Yixuan's face when reading the original novel! ]

[Oh my god, can we really see Yixuan perform in Qingle Zhuan in our lifetime? The two chefs are ecstatic. ]

[And Yixuan and Yunzhi are a good match! Handsome men and beautiful women love them! ]

Wen Yunzhi: ...

Fans of the original novel would never say that, okay?

There are still many fans of the original novel saying that she is not suitable for the female lead Qing Le at all.

Wen Yunzhi raised his head and was about to say something to Pei Simo when a friend request appeared on his WeChat account.

It belongs to Zhou Yixuan.

As soon as she clicked "Agree", a WeChat call popped up from Zhou Yixuan.

Wen Yunzhi frowned and raised his phone to point it at Pei Simo.

Pei Simo saw that the caller ID showed that it was Zhou Yixuan, and he was a little impatient, but he still said, "Answer it."

Wen Yunzhi answered the phone and put it to his ear.

Zhou Yixuan saw Wen Yunzhi answer the phone and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, Mr. Wen, I really didn't know I would cause you so much trouble. That person today was my illegitimate fan, and it was because I didn't pay attention that I got you into trouble. I've already removed the trending search."

His tone sounded a little aggrieved, as if it really wasn't his fault and had nothing to do with him.

Of course, this is how it appears in other people’s eyes.

Wen Yunzhi did not expose her, but pretended to be very understanding and said: "I really didn't expect this to happen. I have already removed the trending search here."

Zhou Yixuan breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm glad that Teacher Wen understands."

Wen Yunzhi smiled, with a very false and polite tone, "I understand, of course I understand, but Teacher Zhou, have you seen the trending searches? It seems that the audience friends particularly want you to play the male lead."

Zhou Yixuan and Wen Yunzhi were not familiar with each other, so naturally they could not hear it, and they were smugly thinking that they had achieved their goal, "Really? I didn't even have the chance to watch it, it would be great if the audience liked it."

Wen Yunzhi put on a fake smile, raised his hand and hung up the phone.

She raised her head and looked at Pei Simo, who was about to speak.

But I heard him speak in a low, hoarse voice:

"Public opinion is that you and Zhou Yixuan are in love, and many people have even found out that you have the same items."

Wen Yunzhi:?

She picked up her phone and looked at the trending searches.

I found that it was exactly as Pei Simo said.

No idea if it was premeditated or if the marketing account took advantage of the hype, but the scandal between her and Zhou Yixuan was all over the place, with some people even digging out the same items of clothing that the two were wearing.

But in fact, those were all sponsored by the brands, and she never wore them again except for public occasions.

[Isn't Wen Yunzhi having an affair with Pei Simo? Where did Zhou Yixuan come from?]

[Wen Yunzhi is fine, here with Pei Simo, there with Zhou Yixuan. ]

[If you are really in love and you still participate in a love variety show, you are just fooling everyone. 】

[No wonder Zhou Yixuan rejected other offers to audition for this one. Could it be that she wants to have a romance at public expense?]

[It's not a big deal if the actors are in love. I would really like to see them star in "The Legend of Youth".]

Wen Yunzhi could see Zhou Yixuan's intention and said to Pei Simo, "Zhou Yixuan wants to use public opinion to manipulate us into choosing him."

Pei Simo said: "Yes, if one really didn't know the truth, he would probably choose Zhou Yixuan based on public opinion."

Wen Yunzhi still felt puzzled, "But he is now in the rising stage of his career, it would not be good for him to stir up trouble."

Pei Simo jumped out of the actor's mindset and explained to her, "He is an actor. The CP hype can bring him a lot of traffic. You are a very popular actress recently. It is not a loss. What's more, if you star in this drama, it is equivalent to being linked to the Pei Group. If the cooperation goes smoothly, his star career will be smooth."

When Wen Yunzhi thought about it, it made perfect sense.

But she didn't understand even more.

It’s not that I don’t understand Zhou Yixuan, but that I don’t understand Xiaoyuan.

"Let Yuanchu draft the statement first, and don't let Zhou Yixuan take advantage of your popularity. I will help you find the remaining evidence as soon as possible." Pei Simo said.

"I've just asked Yuanchu to draft a statement." When she answered Zhou Yixuan's call, she had already talked to Yuanchu about public relations.

After Wen Yunzhi finished taking care of his own affairs, he did not forget to ask the male lead to do something else. "Ask He Nian to contact Lin Shuyu again and give him a few more clips for him to try."

Pei Simo always felt a little unhappy when he heard Lin Shuyu's name from Wen Yunzhi. He hissed and asked, "Do you like Lin Shuyu so much?"

Wen Yunzhi: ...

She immediately reached out her hand to stop Pei Simo from continuing, "Hey, what you said is objectionable. What do you mean I like Lin Xuyu? I just admire his acting skills as a newcomer, just like He Nian admires Lin Xuyu."

Pei Simo responded: "I understand. I appreciate it."

Wen Yunzhi tilted his head and looked at Pei Simo. Suddenly he found it very funny. He raised his hand, picked up the vinegar and poured it into Pei Simo's bowl.

Pei Simo raised his head, somewhat puzzled.

Wen Yunzhi showed a sly smile of success on his face, "It seems that you like to be jealous." Pei Simo raised his hand and grabbed Wen Yunzhi's wrist, and raised the vinegar bottle up, "Don't give me that."

Wen Yunzhi smiled even more happily.

Pei Simo saw her laughing and laughed too.

Wen Yunzhi regarded the incident as a halftime break, and after resolving it, he went back to eating hot pot.

Pei Simo leaned back in his chair and watched Wen Yunzhi eat. He didn't feel bored, but rather very interested. But he suddenly thought of something and asked, "How did you find out about Zhou Yixuan and Xiaoyuan?"

Wen Yunzhi spoke frankly, "I just find it very strange. If it wasn't for Zhou Yixuan himself or his studio, Xiaoyuan wouldn't have known so many undisclosed locations, so I asked you to check it out, and now you have found it."

The most important thing is that she is a fan.

Generally speaking, sasaengs do know a lot of undisclosed places, but it would be strange if they knew everything.

Wen Yunzhi was full and drank the last sip of Coke with satisfaction.

"I haven't eaten so much in a while. If I join the group, I won't be able to eat so well."

Pei Simo quickly thought of a solution, "I can help you arrange meals that are healthy, delicious, and won't make you fat."

Wen Yunzhi didn't refuse at all, "Then I'll trouble you. After all, I'm the leading actress of your project, and you really need to supervise me."

After saying that, she thought of something and asked, "When can you find evidence against Xiaoyuan and Zhou Yixuan? I feel annoyed when I think of my name being linked to his."

Wen Yunzhi only does things within his ability.

She's really not good at this kind of thing.

Then we can only leave it to Pei Simo.

Pei Simo's tone was somewhat teasing, "Don't worry, I'm annoyed too, and I'd rather see our names on the trending searches, so I'll do it as soon as possible."

Wen Yunzhi was slightly stunned when he heard Pei Simo's words.

She slowly approached Pei Simo, stared into his eyes, and asked word by word:

"Pei Simo, is this a confession?"
