Kyle tried to break free from Chenzhou's grip, but no matter how hard he swung his arms, he couldn't shake off Chenzhou's tight hold on him.
"This guy looks thin, but he's so strong?" Just as the insult was about to spill from his mouth, Chen Zhou accurately predicted Kyle's move. He leaned closer and whispered, "Those online rumors are your doing, aren't they? You should be grateful I haven't bothered you. If you dare cause trouble again, I'll do what you did and expose your messy affair with Boss Zhang online too! Guess who'll look worse then?"
Kyle hesitated, then stopped, his face ashen. "You have no evidence!"
Chen Zhou released his grip and chuckled softly, "How can something done leave no trace? Kyle, you'd better watch out."
Kyle's expression was unpredictable, looking like he wanted to explode but didn't dare. At that moment, security guards arrived and "invited" Kyle away, ending the chaotic scene.
Zhou Jingxing thought to himself, "Thank goodness the security guards arrived just in time, otherwise I really would have taken the opportunity to beat Kyle up."
Damn it, I hate people who show off the most!
Moreover, this person is also dishonest.
After Shen Zhou and the studio's security handled Kyle's matter, he walked back to Zhou Jingxing's side. "Thank you for speaking up for me just now." He paused, "Before Kyle came, I wanted to tell you that I was being stubborn last night. I'm really sorry if it made you feel uncomfortable."
Zhou Jingxing's eyes lit up, like a puppy with flowers blooming on its head. He quickly said, "It's nothing, I don't feel unwell, I was just a little worried about you." He asked Chen Zhou, "Were you absent this morning to deal with those things online?"
Shen Zhou smiled and nodded, while Zhou Jingxing stared at the dimples on his lips, somewhat mesmerized. Shen Zhou told him, "Yes, I went to the company this morning. The boss said he would deal with the online comments as soon as possible, and the exhibition will proceed as planned."
"But that idiot... uh Kyle said there's someone who always refuses to let the company's PR team help you."
Chen Zhou frowned. "Shidai Culture isn't his surname, Zhang." Seeing that Zhou Jingxing still looked worried about him, he felt a warmth in his heart. "It's okay, I've already taken care of it. You just need to help me repair this batch of porcelain."
Zhou Jingxing nodded, thinking to himself that he still needed to think of a way. It seemed that it was time to leverage his network of connections.
During lunch, he opened his chat window with Zhang Jin.
Zhou Jingxing: Help me check an IP address.
Zhou Jingxing: Link
Zhou Jingxing: This is the account.
Zhang Jin: ...
Zhang Jin: You haven't uninstalled Yangshizi Novels yet?
Zhang Jin: Or are you still half asleep?
Zhang Jin: The Constitution stipulates that citizens' freedom and privacy of communication are protected by law. What, are you really going to become a lawless person?
Zhou Jingxing: ...What use are you?
Zhou Jingxing, who was ignorant of the law, put down his phone, feeling very distressed. At this crucial moment, he had no one who could be of any use!
In the afternoon, Shen Zhou was still in the studio. He seemed to really enjoy the restoration work and sat next to Zhou Jingxing watching. Zhou Jingxing was as happy as a peacock spreading its tail feathers, wishing he could show him all the knowledge he had ever learned.
Shen Zhou got up to get a drink of water, and Zhou Jingxing followed him to the tea room.
"Give."
Zhou Jingxing couldn't help but smile as he took the warm water from Chen Zhou.
Shen Zhou glanced at him. "What's wrong?" Zhou Jingxing shook his head. "Nothing." He just suddenly felt very happy. Doing the work he was good at, and the person he liked was by his side.
Shen Zhou asked him, "Is there anything else I need to coordinate? Are the materials sufficient? I see you're making pretty good progress, so don't work overtime tonight, don't overwork yourself."
"You're such a good client. Other clients would squeeze every last drop out of us. But you're always trying to find ways to give us a break."
Chen Zhou, holding his cup, said with a smile, "I wouldn't dare. I've heard that you're the 'most handsome' in the provincial museum. If I exploit you to the point of withering, your curator will hold me accountable."
Chen Zhou looked up and took a good look at his good looks. "If no one visits your museum in the future, you can stand at the main entrance, and I guarantee business will boom."
Zhou Jingxing went along with him, saying, "Then don't let this opportunity pass you by. How about I help you with some publicity? I'll take a couple of photos of me at work and post them online to get some traffic for your exhibition." He got more and more excited as he spoke, "Let's come up with a headline like, 'Shocking! Pure male college student being exploited every night! Is this moral decay or a distortion of humanity? Buy your tickets to find out more!'"
Chen Zhou laughed uncontrollably, "I think it's a good idea! Pure and innocent boy, don't leave tonight, keep being exploited by me."
Zhou Jingxing noticed that Shen Zhou's face had turned slightly red, and Shen Zhou realized that something was wrong with his words.
"Ah, no, I didn't..."
"Forget it, it's hard to explain." Chen Zhou said dejectedly, "You should know what I mean."
Zhou Jingxing looked at him with innocent eyes, but his words were bold: "You can exploit me as you please, not just tonight."
"Teacher Zhou, that batch of molds is dry, we can start polishing. Hey? What's wrong? Your face is so red." The young assistant stood at the door of the break room, looking puzzled. "Teacher Shen is here too, why is your face so red as well?"
"It's too hot. I'm going out now."
Watching Chen Zhou's retreating figure as if he were fleeing, Zhou Jingxing couldn't help but lick his lips. "It's so hot."
My eyes are burning with desire, but my heart is burning even hotter.
The next day, Shen Zhou actually hired a cameraman and photographer to come to the studio for a shoot. Zhou Jingxing felt uncomfortable being filmed so closely. While the cameraman was shooting the porcelain, he asked Shen Zhou, "Why are you actually filming? I was just joking with you yesterday, how did you actually hire a cameraman?"
Shen Zhou said seriously, "I think the work of cultural relic restoration is very meaningful, so I want to record your work process and put it online. Of course, you have to agree to that." He asked Zhou Jingxing, "So do you agree? If you don't agree, I will keep these photos to myself."
Zhou Jingxing touched his nose, "I agree, but it's kind of embarrassing to be in front of the camera..."
Chen Zhou laughed, "Jingxing, you're so good-looking, why are you afraid of the camera? You need to be more confident!"
Looking at his dimples, Zhou Jingxing suddenly had a bold idea, "I've cooperated with you, can you grant me one request?"
"Hmm? What are the requirements?"
"Let's take a picture together, just the two of us. Is that okay?" Zhou Jingxing's eyes crinkled into a smile, his smile refreshing and clean, like a gentle breeze. Chen Zhou felt that he must have been blinded by his good looks.
He heard his own reply, "Okay, sure."
On this day, Zhou Jingxing's happiness was felt deeply by everyone in the studio.
As Zhou Jingxing, who was humming a tune and meticulously tracing the patterns on the porcelain, passed by carrying hot water, the young assistant couldn't help but ask her colleague, "What's wrong with Teacher Zhou? Did something good happen? Are you a little too excited today?"
"Sigh, men in love, that's normal."
"What did I miss?"
The young girl leaned closer to her, glanced at Zhou Jingxing, and whispered, "Didn't you notice? Zhou Jingxing was in a particularly good mood when Teacher Shen was around. They talked for a long time this morning, and Zhou Jingxing was like this afterward." She raised an eyebrow. "I bet there's something going on between them."
Zhou Jingxing was so overjoyed at being able to take a photo with Shen Zhou that he didn't even care about the close-up shot.
He couldn't resist sharing his joy, so he opened the group chat "The Great Battle for the Top".
Zhou Jingxing: He said he wanted to take a photo with me. [Grinning face] [Grinning face] [Grinning face]
Zhang Jin: Isn't it normal for the staff to take a group photo together?
Zhang Jin: Look at how worthless you are.
Sun Qian: Work photo?
Zhou Jingxing: A photo of the two of us, just the two of us [cute]
Sun Qian: Congratulations! (It feels unreal, why is that?)
Zhang Jin: Stop bragging. That account you asked me to check last time really did have some issues.
Zhou Jingxing: Oh? You investigated him?
Zhou Jingxing: The Constitution stipulates that citizens' freedom of communication and the secrecy of their communications are protected by law.
Zhou Jingxing: Knowingly violating the law is an aggravated offense. [Smile]
Zhang Jin: ...Why are you so petty?
Zhang Jin: Cyber police have an obligation to proactively monitor public opinion, but forget it, I can't explain it to you.
Zhang Jin: My colleagues in cybersecurity found that this account had posted certain remarks.
Zhang Jin: Dude, you've discovered a walking 500,000!
Sun Qian: ? ? ? What's going on?
Zhou Jingxing: Can we arrest him?
Zhang Jin: The case is already under investigation; I can't disclose any further details to you.
Zhou Jingxing: Thanks, brother. I'll treat you two to dinner next time.
After thinking for a moment, Zhou Jingxing took the initiative to knock on Li Weilin's office door.
As the chief consultant, Li Weilin has a separate office in this temporary studio. He is not only responsible for the restoration of porcelain, but also for guiding and supervising the restoration of bronzes and calligraphy and paintings.
After receiving Li Weilin's permission, Zhou Jingxing pushed open the door and went in, then closed the door behind him and locked it.
"Teacher, I have something I want to tell you."
"...Why are you coming to me instead of fixing the plates? Besides, do we really need to talk behind closed doors?"
Zhou Jingxing rubbed the corner of his clothes and said somewhat awkwardly, "Teacher, I have something I'd like to ask you for help with."
"put."
Zhou Jingxing glanced at Li Weilin's face and figured he was in a pretty good mood, so he became a little bolder.
"Teacher, I don't know if you went online to see the news the other day, but this exhibition of restored cultural relics was attacked online. All those negative comments were shocking to me."
"Yes, I saw it. Netizens are just parroting what others say, they don't understand the background and significance of restoring cultural relics at all, it's normal for them to be led astray and say some unpleasant things. Just focus on fixing your plates and ignore what they say!"
“But Shen Zhou has put in a lot of effort and hard work for this exhibition, and it’s so unfair that he’s being smeared like this!” Zhou Jingxing looked at Li Weilin and gave him a fawning smile. “Teacher, you are highly respected and your words carry great weight in the industry. Why don’t you stand up for him? Besides, you are the chief consultant for this exhibition. If it’s ruined, it will hurt your reputation.”
After listening for a while, Li Weilin finally understood his purpose for coming. He couldn't help but narrow his eyes and ask, "You want me to help resolve Chen Zhou's troubles? Why didn't you come yourself? And why are you here to plead for him?"
Zhou Jingxing smiled shyly, "Isn't it normal to do things for your lover? Shenzhou will be my partner from now on."
