After entering the elevator, Wu Shui kept looking at Jie Yang as if he was about to say something.
Xie Yang said: "Just say what you want to say."
"Boss, are you...are you angry because of a grudge?"
Xie Yang took off his hat and grabbed a handful of his hair, looking at his face reflected in the elevator door, and said, "No, I'm just reflecting."
Wu Shui had a bad feeling and asked, "What are you reflecting on?"
"Reflect on whether I am too self-righteous." Xie Yang put his hat back on and looked sideways at Wu Shui. "Let me tell you, your real boss. My initiative is over. It's his turn next."
The elevator door just opened. Xie Yang retracted his gaze and walked out, directly into the room, locking Wu Shui outside the door.
Finally, he was alone. Xie Yang stood there for a while, then took off his hat, threw away his backpack, changed his clothes, left the room, went down to the hotel gym, found a treadmill in the corner and ran for a few kilometers.
After sweating a lot, Jie Yang returned to his room and took a good shower.
The restless emotions were washed away bit by bit by the water. Xie Yang opened his eyes, turned off the faucet, wiped his body hastily, put on a bathrobe, walked out of the bathroom, and lay down on the bed.
Pop.
Lights off.
The room became pitch black.
Xie Yang thought carefully and seriously about what happened today.
"Hateful behavior."
He whispered the name, and his fingers instinctively released a little bit of supernatural power that had just been restored in his supernatural core, twisting it into various shapes with his mind.
What Tao Yang did did make him really angry, but...
The phone suddenly vibrated and a new message came in.
Xie Yang turned his head to look at the mobile phone on the bedside table. After a long while, he picked up the phone and opened WeChat.
Qiu Xing: Go to bed early and don’t think too much.
"asshole."
Jie Yang turned off his phone and leaned back against the head of the bed.
However, Qiu Xing's retreat at the critical moment, and the fact that this retreat was the root cause of the current situation, made him feel even more upset.
Love makes people dizzy. It was only just now that he realized that the way he and Qiu Xing get along is actually very problematic.
When there are no outsiders around, Qiu Xing's duplicity and his habitual avoidance of awkwardness are well known to you and me, but once in public, if Qiu Xing is still habitually like this, then something weird like Tao Yang will definitely happen again.
You shouldn't be so self-righteous as to think that everything will be fine if you let it take its course, and you shouldn't think that this kind of tacit love model where you understand each other is good.
He should have handled the issue of their relationship being announced before inviting Qiu Xing to the graduation ceremony, and he should have had a good talk with Qiu Xing about it sooner, instead of blindly trusting their tacit understanding of not saying anything.
So he was actually the one who made the biggest mistake. His excessive initiative made Qiu Xing carefully give him the leadership of the relationship, but he failed to handle everything properly due to his arrogance.
Qiu Xing is a bastard coward, and he is a fool who indulges bastard cowards.
Xie Yang frowned fiercely, suppressed his wild thoughts, retracted his supernatural powers, threw back the quilt, lay down and went to sleep.
…
A night of nightmare.
The next day, when Xie Yang turned on his phone, it was bombarded with all kinds of messages. He didn't sleep well and was in a bad mood. He ignored all the other messages and just called Qin Cheng and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Mr. Qiu has made a will."
Xie Yang woke up in a second and asked, "What?"
…
Xie Yang opened Weibo at the fastest speed in his life.
The topic #Rongding Chairman Qiu Xing made a will# ranked first on the hot search list and is attracting attention.
The popular list is even more exaggerated. From the first to the tenth, it is all information related to Qiu Xingli's will. The media that released the information ranged from finance to entertainment, to the official news blog of the national station, covering all fields, almost covering all the heavyweight media in the entire news industry.
Xie Yang clicked on the first news and took a look.
The news is very short, consisting of pure text. The content is that Rongding Chairman Qiu Xing suddenly announced his will on Rongding's official website through his lawyer at midnight yesterday, stating that if his treatment fails, all Rongding shares and assets under his name will be inherited by his partner Jie Yang.
Xie Yang frowned and hurried to check Rongding's official website. He saw a large notice hanging at the top of the website. The notice mentioned the contents related to the will. At the end of the notice, Qiu Xing's signature in a wild and domineering handwriting was prominently displayed.
“…”
Xie Yang was speechless.
He didn't expect that Qiu Xing would be dealt with in this way. The chain reaction that would be triggered by the sudden announcement of the will by the chairman of a large group company like Rongding would definitely not be as simple as dominating the hot topics on Weibo.
And this was not just the publication of the will, Qiu Xing also indirectly announced the fact that he was ill. For listed companies, the health of the person at the helm is also one of the factors affecting the company's stock price.
Isn’t Qiu Xing afraid that Rongding’s stock price will plummet? And what is the difference between this will and directly announcing the heirs?
Xie Yang returned to Weibo and clicked on the comments under the news that ranked first on the trending list.
Hot comment 1: Forgive my ignorance, it was only then that I found out that Rong Ding’s boss’s surname was Qiu [farewell].
Hot comment 2: Wait? Partner Jie Yang? Jie Yang? ah? coincide? Same name? This, this name doesn't seem to be very common.
…
Hot comment five: Partner Jie Yang? ? It shouldn’t be my Yangyang, hahaha. My name is the same as that of the boss's friend, so it can help my Yangyang to get some fortune.
…
Hot comment seven: It definitely isn’t my Yangyang. The boss of a large group like Rongding must be very old. Yangyang is only 20 years old, so it definitely isn’t him.
Hot comment eight: Are those who guess IUD Jie Yang's identity sick? How could the partner of the chairman of a large group like Rongding be the singer Xie Yang? It's impossible even with your feet! Fans of Jie Yang, please stop flattering yourself! Yesterday you were hyping up your relationship, and today you’re trying to use this to your advantage again. Do you have any shame?
Xie Yang: “…”
There isn't a single decent review worth reading.
Xie Yang raised his hand and pressed his forehead. For a moment, he seemed neither angry nor happy. Now he just wondered if he hadn't woken up yet.
The cell phone suddenly rang. It was Qin Cheng calling. Xie Yang came back to his senses, quickly answered the call, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Qin Cheng said: "Assistant He called me just now and said that Mr. Qiu has opened a Weibo account and asked me to make PR preparations."
Xie Yang doubted his ears and asked, "What did you say?"
"Mr. Qiu has opened a Weibo account. Xie Yang, didn't Mr. Qiu discuss this with you in advance?"
...What the hell is this? Let’s discuss it!
Xie Yang hung up the phone with Qin Cheng and called Qiu Xing, but no one answered the call until the number was automatically disconnected. He was about to call again when Qin Cheng's WeChat popped up.
Qin Cheng: Mr. Qiu posted on Weibo and suddenly became the top trending post.
Xie Yang quickly opened Weibo and saw a Weibo post with very few comments, reposts, and likes.
[Qiu Xing: The person I like is Xie Yang.] 】
Below is a photo, which was the first photo the two of them took together at the graduation ceremony yesterday. In the photo, the two of them stood side by side under a white magnolia tree. Qiu Xing was wearing a silver-gray suit, standing straight with a faint smile on his face. Next to Qiu Xing, Xie Yang, dressed in a bachelor's gown, was holding his graduation certificate and smiling at the camera.
Xie Yang instinctively refreshed the page to read the comments, but the page was stuck and didn't move for a long time - Weibo crashed.
“…”
The cell phone rang again. It was Qiu Xing calling. Xie Yang looked at the phone screen for several seconds before choosing to answer the call.
Qiu Xing's voice came out: "Sorry."
Xie Yang said nothing.
After a few seconds of silence, Qiu Xing's low and solemn voice was heard.
"Jie Yang, I'm sorry for making such a will without your permission. I'm sorry for making you feel wronged. I'm very happy to be invited to your graduation ceremony. I'm sorry for not being able to leave you with a good memory."
Xie Yang still didn't say anything.
"Jie Yang, maybe it's a little late and inappropriate... I like you."
Xie Yang raised his eyes suddenly and clenched his phone.
"I'm sorry that I haven't been able to formally say this to you before. Xie Yang, I like you. If possible, I hope you can allow me to introduce you as a partner in the future. I don't want to divorce you, and I hope our marriage can continue. Yesterday... I'm really sorry. I was inconsiderate and didn't respect you enough. You were too tolerant of me and let me take it for granted."
Xie Yang raised his hand and pressed the lower half of his face.
"Not again."
After a long silence, Qiu Xing's voice came again: "Jie Yang, can you come down and see me?"
Xie Yang was stunned for a moment, then realized something, got out of bed, went to the window and looked down. Unfortunately, because the room window was facing the wrong direction, he couldn't see the scene at the hotel entrance.
He picked up the phone and said, "Wait." Then he hung up the phone, quickly changed his clothes and washed up, then went out and ran downstairs.
While taking the elevator, he met some staff members from the same crew. They must have seen yesterday’s gossip, and they looked a little awkward when they greeted him.
Xie Yang simply didn't have the energy to pay attention to these details. After simply responding to everyone's greetings, he kept staring at the elevator floor, his heart beating uncontrollably.
He had a dreamlike feeling of unreality. Qiu Xing, that awkward, timid, self-isolating and self-protective person, actually uttered such a long list of confessions.
I like you.
The person who only asked "Are you willing to have a real relationship with me" when he decided to face his feelings, now actually said "I like you".
After seeing the worst side of the world, Xie Yang thought that he no longer cared about formalistic things. He always felt that things like feelings were fine as long as everyone understood them and there was no need to explain them too clearly.
But now he realized that explaining it clearly was such a thing that made people... made their brains a mess.
bite.
He nodded and the elevator door opened.
Xie Yang came back to his senses and was the first to step out. After he had taken two steps, someone suddenly grabbed his arm. He frowned and instinctively pulled his hand away, but was held tighter. A familiar voice came from the side.
"Why did you come down in slippers?"
Xie Yang stopped pulling his hand away, paused and looked back.
Qiu Xing was still wearing the same clothes he wore yesterday, with a thin layer of shadow under his eyes. He met Xie Yang's gaze, his expression tense, and the hand holding Xie Yang's arm tightened, saying: "Slippers are too slippery, it's easy to fall, it's better to change into a pair of shoes when you go out."
“…”
Xie Yang looked at Qiu Xing's instinctive retreat and suddenly laughed. He shook off Qiu Xing's hand and said, "You bastard."
Qiu Xing's lips tightened and his eyes dimmed slightly.
Xie Yang suddenly grabbed Qiu Xing's arm, ignored the stunned crew members outside the elevator, pulled Qiu Xing to the elevator, pressed the button, took Qiu Xing in, turned around, closed the elevator door, and pressed the button for the floor where the room was.
The elevator started to go up.
Qiu Xing tried to grab Jie Yang's hand.
Xie Yang said: "Don't move."
Qiu Xing froze.
The elevator opened, and Xie Yang pulled Qiu Xing out. They ran into Man Feidi and Wen Yao who had just walked out. He simply nodded as a greeting, then walked straight to his door, opened it, pulled Qiu Xing in, and closed the door.
Xie Yang let go of Qiu Xing's hand and said, "Go to bed."
Qiu Xing became even more rigid, his Adam's apple rolling, and he said, "Jie Yang——"
"Go to bed. The one who made the mistake has no right to object."
“…”
Qiu Xing stood there for a few seconds, then obediently walked to the bedside, looked at Jie Yang, put his hand on the button of his shirt, but couldn't unbutton it for a long time. Finally, he chose to sit on the bed, hesitating and struggling, struggling and hesitating, and finally said earnestly, thoughtfully, bitterly, and eagerly: "Jie Yang, I think... I think this kind of thing should be done after our wedding-"
"Wedding?" Xie Yang walked up to Qiu Xing, stretched out his hand to hold Qiu Xing's shoulder, pushed him hard onto the bed, and said, "You're dreaming. I'm going to work now, you sleep well here, and when I'm done, we'll talk about it." After that, he lifted a corner of the quilt and covered Qiu Xing with it, turned around to change his shoes, then looked back at Qiu Xing who had sat up, and said, "You don't allow me to stay up late, but you're happy to stay up late. Didn't Dr. Kirkman tell you that staying up late will aggravate the symptoms of hair loss?"
After saying that, he strode out of the room and slammed the door.
After closing the door, Xie Yang stood there for a long time, suddenly let out a long breath, smiled, and walked towards the elevator.
As expected, we shouldn't let things take their own course or keep things vague and ambiguous. It would have been better to announce it openly earlier.
He took out his cell phone and called Qin Cheng. When the call was connected, he said directly: "Make preparations for PR. I am also ready to go public."
…
There were many people who looked like bodyguards guarding inside and outside the hotel lobby, and Wu Shui was talking to one of them. Seeing Jie Yang appear, Wu Shui immediately stepped forward and said, "The paparazzi and the media that came after hearing the news have all been blocked by the bodyguards. They will not affect the crew members."
Xie Yang understood that this was probably arranged by Qiu Xing, so he nodded and said, "I understand."
Jie Yang kept checking Weibo all the way to the set, but it was not until the car stopped outside the filming location that the stuck Weibo was finally opened.
When Xie Yang clicked on the popular list, he saw that the number of comments under Qiu Xing's Weibo post had exceeded 10,000.
He was puzzled. How on earth did netizens leave comments when Weibo was stuck?
He clicked on the comments section.
Hot comment 1: What the hell? !
Hot comment 2: Ah? ?
Hot comment three: Ahhhhhhhhh!
Hot Comment 4: I suspect I haven’t woken up yet…
Xie Yang was amused by the style of the comments section and continued to scroll down.
It wasn’t until the seventh hot comment that Xie Yang finally saw a meaningful comment, and this comment was actually posted by an account that he was somewhat familiar with.
Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit: What the hell! What the hell! What the hell! Ahhhhh! I captured the real thing! Who said that all group bosses are old men with big bellies? This president is so handsome! I said that the interaction between the two at that time could not be simply that of elder and junior! Just based on the looks of these two people, I agree to this marriage!
Xie Yang smiled again, left the comment area, and checked the trending searches.
On the hot searches, the topic #仇行解扬# replaced the topic of will and jumped to the top. Below these two hot searches, the topic #陶杨删微博道歉# was hanging in the middle position.
The smile on Xie Yang's face faded.
Tao Yang deleted his blog?
He looked at the topic but didn't click on it. He logged out of his secondary account and switched to his main account. After his phone recovered from the overwhelming bombardment of messages, he ignored all the messages and chose to write a Weibo post, typing and editing.
Two minutes later.
[Jie Yang: Some things are better announced directly.] I graduated and fell in love with this person. 】
There is also a photo below, but it is a solo photo of Qiu Xing. In the photo, Qiu Xing, wearing a black suit, leaned on the railing of the observation deck, holding a handful of fish feed in his hand, looking down at the artificial lake shimmering in the sunset, with a quiet and gentle expression.
As soon as the Weibo post was sent out, a like popped up immediately.
From hatred.
Xie Yang immediately switched to WeChat and sent a message.
Xie Yang: Didn’t I tell you to sleep?
Qiu Xing was typing for a long time.
Qiu Xing: Good night.
What good night is this so early in the morning?
Xie Yang laughed angrily and sent an emoji of someone knocking their head. Then he went back to Weibo, found Qiu Xing’s account, and chose to follow it.
A reminder of following each other pops up.
Xie Yang paused, looked at the number of accounts that Qiu Xing followed, 1, smiled, and liked the only Weibo post that Qiu Xing posted, then logged out of Qiu Xing's account and closed his Weibo account.
After finishing what he wanted to do, he put away his phone, opened the car door and entered the set.
When they saw Jie Yang, all the crew members stopped their work at the same time.
There was an eerie silence on the set for a moment.
Director Zhou, who was adjusting the camera position, noticed something was wrong and turned around. Seeing Jie Yang coming, he frowned and glanced around, then raised his voice and said, "What are you all standing there for? Get ready." After that, he waved at Jie Yang and said, "Jie Yang, come here."
The briefly frozen atmosphere on the set was broken, and everyone continued with their work, but they were still looking at Jie Yang vaguely.
Xie Yang walked up to Director Zhou, facing a lot of ambiguous looks, and called out, "Director Zhou."
Director Zhou thought about it and asked, "Is what happened on Weibo true?"
"Yes." Xie Yang nodded, and then said sincerely, "Director Zhou, I'm sorry that the crew was targeted by the media and paparazzi because of my personal affairs. I will find someone to guard the hotel entrance and inside and outside the set, and try not to let the media disturb the normal operation of the crew."
Director Zhou looked at Jie Yang, wanting to say something but swallowing it back, he just said, "Just be sensible. Okay, go get your hair and makeup done, and start shooting."
…
Director Zhou must have made special instructions. During the following filming, although the staff on the set would look at Jie Yang from time to time, they restrained themselves from disturbing him.
Several of the main actors did come over to talk to Jie Yang about what happened on Weibo, but they just asked a simple question and politely gave their blessings after getting a positive answer.
Most people behaved very restrained and decent, only Man Feidi revealed a little emotion. After getting Xie Yang's affirmative response to the relationship, he said in a strange tone: "No wonder, it turns out that he has a backer, and it's Rong Ding..."
Xie Yang heard something unfriendly and said, "Senior seems to have some opinion about my relationship?"
Man Feidi's expression froze, and he quickly adjusted his expression and said, "How could that be? I'm just a little envious of you. Rongding's CEO is young and promising, and he's a good match for you."
Xie Yang smiled and said, "Really? My boyfriend always acts like he's not worthy of me. He's almost 30 but he's still acting shy like a primary school student and always does stupid things that make me angry."
“……”Man Feidi said goodbye stiffly and left.
