I came home around midnight, reeking of alcohol.
As soon as she got out of the car at the entrance of the residential area, someone came over, snatched Gu Xingchen's phone, and ran away.
Rong Shang instinctively wanted to chase after him, but he stopped her with a gesture.
"It's just a cell phone, stop chasing it."
Rong Shang pursed her lips and, using the light from the doorway, looked towards the pitch-black street ahead. The man dressed in black had long since disappeared into the darkness.
She looked up, glanced at him, and gave a faint "hmm".
"You should go back now, it's getting late."
After speaking, Rong Shang entered the residential area without looking back.
About ten minutes later, Gu Xingchen paid the driver double the fare.
After he went upstairs and returned to his residence.
The phone at home has already rung.
He glanced at it, his face expressionless.
"Hello."
"Xingchen, are you just finished?" A sweet voice came from the other end of the phone as soon as the call was answered.
Gu Xingchen didn't answer. "What do you want to do?"
"Um, I didn't do anything," the woman said, indicating her innocence.
"Star, it's been so long since we last met."
"I saw him last week."
“Well, but it’s a film festival.” The woman kept hinting at what he meant, and Gu Xingchen knew what she meant.
His expression was cold, and his slightly furrowed brows showed a hint of impatience.
"If you've said enough, tell your men to obediently return the phone, or else..."
The sound paused.
Wenli, who was over there, heard this and couldn't help but laugh a few times. "Why are you in such a hurry?"
"We're the best partners, after all. How about we grab a coffee?"
"I don't know what's wrong with me tonight, I feel so empty inside."
She rambled on and on, but Gu Xingchen didn't want to pay her any attention. When she said, "I feel so empty inside," he simply replied, "If you're sick, go see a doctor."
Snap!
The call was immediately disconnected.
A few seconds later, the phone rang again, and he hung up again.
He kept hanging up until he saw Su Yunmeng's number, and then he answered it.
It turns out they've landed a new endorsement deal, a couple endorsement.
The man is him, and the woman is... Winry.
Wen Li is a representative of the post-90s generation in the film and television industry. Every TV series she has acted in is guaranteed to have high ratings.
She consistently ranks among the top five on the trending topics list.
She has it all: popularity, fame, acting skills, looks, figure...
Compared to Han Sirong, she can be considered to have a clean and virtuous character.
She has been in the industry for eight or nine years and has never been involved in a scandal.
But that's how outsiders see her.
Anyone in the entertainment industry knows that Winry comes from a powerful family and has a chaotic personal life.
It's just that rich girls are well protected by their families.
Gu Xingchen wasn't interested in her private life; it was only because Su Yunmeng loved gossip and kept bringing it up with him that he found out.
"It's been pushed aside."
With a cold utterance, Gu Xingchen prepared to hang up.
Su Yunmeng was yelling loudly, saying that she had already accepted the endorsement and that turning it down now would mean paying a penalty for breach of contract.
She had no idea what was wrong with him.
Previously, she had handled all his endorsements, so why this time...?
"Ten times, or a hundred times? Do I need that kind of money?"
A cold voice came from the other end of the phone, leaving Su Yunmeng speechless.
She wanted to ask him if he and Wen Li had some kind of conflict, but then two beeps came from inside.
Before she could say anything...
Gu Xingchen had already hung up the phone.
As he just said, he'll pay whatever the penalty fee is, no matter how much.
Frowning, Su Yunmeng herself felt it was a bit of a pity.
