Chapter 5 Cinderella



Xu Yan was woken up by a phone call early in the morning, the ringing became louder and louder, as if urging him to die. He couldn't open his eyes, and fumbled around the bedside for a long time before he took out his phone, and answered the call in a daze.

"Hello, are you up?"

"...No."

"My ancestor, why are you still sleeping? It's half past eight, and the hot searches about your breakup with Liang Yisheng have been on for half the night. I didn't dare to close my eyes all night, but you were sleeping soundly!" Cheng Xinlu's tone was like a fire on the house, and the lethality was even greater than when she was with Xu Yan.

Xu Yan turned over, from lying on his side to lying on his back, reluctantly opened his eyelids, and looked at the white ceiling. He didn't look anxious, as if he had nothing to do with the big things, and his tone was filled with some peaceful helplessness, "Sister, didn't you work on the PR plan until the early morning last night just so you could sleep now?"

"Do you think you are worth a million? You are alone, and the studio includes you and me, a total of three useful people. Hurry up and get up and come to the studio!" Cheng Xinlu was very ruthless in giving orders for the work, and after saying that, she hung up the phone with a "click", cold and ruthless.

Xu Yan uttered a faint hum, buried his head in the quilt, and sighed weakly.

It took him a few seconds to wake up, and he finally got up from the bed to wash up. While brushing his teeth, he freed a hand to open Weibo, and as expected, @ and comments exploded again. Private messages from strangers are piled up together. I never open that box. Maybe I didn’t wake up today and I didn’t know why I didn’t control my hands. There are

countless unread messages. Even if I refresh the page, several private messages that were “just sent” will pop up.

"I don't know what means you used to climb into Liang Yisheng's bed. You really thought you would become a phoenix from then on. I didn't expect that you would be dumped after just one year as a gigolo. Hahahaha, it's so hilarious. When you climbed into Liang Yisheng's bed, you must have thought that this day would come for you [poor thing]"

"I don't know if you two really broke up, but today is the day I hope that actor Liang will break up with you."

"How pitiful, baby. No one would go to great lengths to climb into the bed of an actor and enjoy the glory for a while, only to be dumped within a year, right?"

"The gigolo is shameless and has no sense of shame. He is kept by someone and still shows off his power. I wish your whole family a miserable death."

Xu Yan slid down a few strips with no expression on his face.

The hand holding the toothbrush was not steady for a moment, and the vibrating electric toothbrush hit his teeth, causing Xu Yan's head to feel numb, and he quickly pressed the switch. Xu Yan looked up at the person in the mirror. His hair grew quite fast, and it was messy because he hadn't woken up this morning, covering half of his palm-sized face.

He hadn't had a good rest in the past few days, but the dark circles under his eyes seemed to make his skin look whiter.

Pretty boy?

Xu Yan touched his face, looked at the face with a little toothpaste foam at the corner of his mouth, and generously admitted that his skin was indeed white. Stupid keyboard warrior, you can't envy the arrogance of a cold white skin.

He consoled himself with self-entertainment, and suddenly several messages popped up on WeChat.

Cheng Xinlu tagged him several times in the work group, asking him if he had gotten up.

Xu Yan sent an emoji of a cat lying in the quilt, and if you scroll up, you can see countless links sent by Cheng Xinlu. You don’t even need to click in to see the details, just reading half of the title can tell the current trend of public opinion on the Internet.

In fact, they were just photographed not going back together, which would not be a big deal for others. But this person happened to be Xu Yan, and so many people on the Internet were waiting for him to break up with Liang Yisheng, and any slight movement would be magnified infinitely.

So it was too easy for Liang Yisheng to "break up" with him. As long as they let nature take its course and keep a little distance between them, there would be countless assists to help them complete the breakup scene.

Occasionally, there are a few marketing accounts that say they may not have broken up, with a lot of curses under them. The comments with the highest number of likes are almost all "Xu Yan is talking on his own account."

When I exited the chat box, I took a look at the pinned chat. The message stopped at yesterday afternoon when he went to the hotel door to ask Liang Yisheng if he had arrived. Liang Yisheng didn't reply, and he didn't send any other messages.

I couldn't control my hands again, and clicked on Liang Yisheng's avatar to check his Moments.

Liang Yisheng doesn't post on Weibo very often, and they are basically all business Weibo posts, which are probably not posted by him at all. But he has the habit of posting on Moments, and the style is not very consistent. He once posted on Moments to complain about the bad lunch boxes of a certain crew, which was screenshoted and saved by Xu Yan.

He took the screenshot thinking that Liang Yisheng had just posted it to vent his anger and would delete it later. After all, Xu Yan thought this kind of content was quite offensive. He didn't expect that when he went to his Moments now, he could still find this Moments post from more than half a year ago, hanging there in a very high profile.

Thinking about it, it made sense. If Xu Yan complained about something, it would definitely be a bloody storm, but when Liang Yisheng complained, everyone just laughed it off, and others were eager to have a chance to curry favor with him. A person's identity and status are too important.

Liang Yisheng posted a Moments post at around seven o'clock this morning.

There was nothing special about it, just a photo of a black Shiba Inu with a toy bone in its mouth, and half of Liang Yisheng's arm was exposed. The caption was just four words, "It's time to grow up."

Xu Yan and Liang Yisheng don't have many friends in common, it can be said that there are almost none. In short, he never sees any comments under Liang Yisheng's circle of friends. He can only see a few pitiful likes from mutual friends in the like section occasionally.

The dog was raised by his agent. Liang Yisheng seemed to like it very much and would post some photos to his circle of friends from time to time. The puppy's name is Cinderella. The agent's brain circuit is quite strange. It is obviously a little male dog, but he insisted on naming it like this.

Cinderella's name, Cinderella.

Xu Yan had that incident a year ago. When he changed his assistant, he also terminated the contract with the former agency. After signing the contract with Liang Yisheng, he was not without contact with other agencies. However, Xu Yan was still unclear about the future of this contract, and the contract must not be known to others, so he simply set up his own studio.

The cost is not high, and it does not require much operation. It takes nearly two hours to drive from the city to a small office.

Xu Yan could hear the sound of two women swearing inside the studio from the door.

When he pushed the door open and walked in, two pairs of eyes turned to him. Cheng Xinlu's expression was exactly the same as when she came back from the parents' meeting after her son ranked second to last in the final exam. It was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Xu Yan raised his hands, "I'm late, I was wrong."

"Zhou Xinian posted on Weibo, I knew Zhou Xinian was going to post on Weibo, and he was so proud. He was waiting, playing this trick on me." Cheng Xinlu gritted her teeth.

"Who is he being so mean to? This is definitely not a gift from the boss! The boss just got off the plane the night before yesterday, and only rested for half a day before coming to see Teacher Xu the next afternoon! He didn't have time to give him any gift!" Xiao Yuan slapped the table with a sullen look on his face.

Looking at this expression, it seems that Xiao Yuan must find an opportunity to tear Zhou Xinian apart with his own hands in his lifetime.

Xu Yan glanced at Cheng Xinlu's computer, and on it was Zhou Xinian's Weibo homepage.

The Weibo post he made ten minutes ago already had over a thousand comments.

God forbid, Zhou Xinian's usually meticulously edited nine-square grid selfies only had a few hundred comments.

"Just trying to get attention, looking at this data, if it were me I would post it too." Xu Yan made a joke in a good mood, and successfully received two slaps in the face.

The content Zhou Xinian posted was very simple.

A sun and a heart emoji, no other text, and a picture of an unopened gift box. It was hard to tell what brand or item it was, but the fact that such unclear and ambiguous content was posted at this juncture spoke for itself.

Xu Yan was not surprised by this kind of routine. In fact, they had already thought of the possibility that Zhou Xinian would come out to stir up trouble last night. Xu Yan had almost no trust in the Baidu Encyclopedia information about Zhou Xinian, who was like a little white flower.

The headache was that they had no choice but to lie down and let the ridicule.

"He has a new sponsor recently, right? The team is quite powerful. Is it really Liang Yisheng? Even if it is finally revealed that it was not given to him by Liang Yisheng, he is still a pure and innocent little white lotus. He did not say that it was given by Liang Yisheng." Cheng Xinlu crossed her legs and glanced at Xiao Yuan when she said this.

Xiao Yuan was from Liang Yisheng's studio. Although he was transferred to Xu Yan as an assistant, his boss was still Liang Yisheng. Xiao Yuan said pitifully, "Sister Cheng, I am just the smallest shrimp in the boss's studio. How can I know those things! But I think it is definitely not the boss. The boss must have problems with his eyes to like Zhou Xinian!"

See, even Xiao Yuan thinks that Liang Yisheng must have problems with his eyes to like Zhou Xinian. Xu Yan was distracted, but maybe he likes Zhou Xinian's type.

A more beautiful appearance, a more miserable life experience, and a coquettish and flattering one.

It is not impossible that the thing Zhou Xinian sent was actually given to him by Liang Yisheng.

Xu Yan's heart slowly rose with jealousy, sour and bubbling.

Just as he was jealous, Cheng Xinlu's WeChat rang.

Her WeChat bomber had been going off all morning, and Cheng Xinlu had become numb to it. She mechanically moved the mouse to the small icon in the lower right corner to check whose profile picture it was. It took her a long time to confirm that it was indeed the profile picture of Liang Yisheng's agent.

From last night to now, the two parties had no contact. Such a big thing should be solved together even if they don't want to cooperate. Cheng Xinlu was holding her breath. She was not happy with Liang Yisheng's early termination of the contract and putting Xu Yan in such an unfavorable public opinion environment, so she held back and did not communicate with Liang Yisheng, and endured it for half a night and a morning.

"Liang Yisheng spent money to remove the trending search?" Cheng Xinlu screamed, and immediately turned to look at Xu Yan, "What did you discuss with Liang Yisheng that you didn't tell me?"

Xu Yan looked at Cheng Xinlu's chat box. Liang Yisheng's agent said politely that Teacher Liang had already removed the trending search, and you should put your actions aside for now, and slow down this matter.

The interface of WeChat has always been simple and cold, just like the attitude of Liang Yisheng's agent towards Xu Yan. There was no sarcasm or disdain on the surface, but Xu Yan knew that he didn't like him. In his eyes, his image was no different from that of netizens, just a bed climber.

Xu Yan suddenly wanted to know what Liang Yisheng meant by the sentence "What about you" left last night.

He fished out his cell phone from his pocket, unlocked it, and found that his browsing interface was still on Liang Yisheng’s circle of friends.

The dog in the middle of the screen looked cute, and was trying to snatch the toy bone from Liang Yisheng’s hand.

Inexplicably, Xu Yan thought of what happened in the box yesterday, when Liang Yisheng said with a smile that he was brave enough to let him play a supporting role for him. The two pictures overlapped perfectly.

Cinderella, Xu Yan remembered its name.

Happy National Day everyone! The holiday is almost over, so cheer up and have fun!
