"Nonsense, I know that from reading novels," Cen Yu thought to himself.
In the original story, Li Yanxiao was confronting his family at this time. His family did not expect their son to make such a big fuss without making a sound, but in the end they could only compromise. The two sides agreed that after Li Yanxiao's limited group of one and a half years disbanded, he would go back to inherit the family business and go back to the path he was supposed to take.
But when Jiang Jueming asked this question, Cen Yu sensed a hint of displeasure in his tone.
It was as if Jiang Jueming was angry and jealous because he knew the other person's secret.
"Impossible, right?" Cen Yu looked at Jiang Jueming suspiciously. How come he remembered that Jiang Jueming in the original work was a completely straight man?!
“I figured it out.” Cen Yu made a finger-counting gesture.
Jiang Jueming knew that the other party was talking nonsense, but he just assumed that Cen Yu had just seen Li Yanxiao and his family before coming backstage, and didn't pay much attention to it.
He closed the lighter in his hand. "I was the only one here just now."
This answers Cen Yu's previous question.
Meanwhile, Xie Jinshen, who was backstage, seemed to think that Cen Yu should have left by now, so he walked out from where the two of them had just been talking... and then bumped into Cen Yu and Jiang Jueming.
The moment Xie Jinshen saw Jiang Jueming, his face, hidden in darkness, turned cold.
But after taking a few steps forward, he reverted to his innocent, pale appearance. He looked at the two people standing next to the trash can with a hint of panic, then repeatedly apologized, "I'm sorry..."
"Hmm?" Jiang Jueming lit the lighter again, looking at the burning flame. "Who are you?"
How did you get here?
He leaned against the wall in the corridor, watching the panicked Xie Jinshen. When he realized that the other person was Cen Yu's girlfriend, he scoffed inwardly, thinking that Cen Yu's taste wasn't very good either.
"Could it be a stalker? Or a paparazzi?" Jiang Jueming said, closing the lighter and putting it in his pants pocket.
"Let's call security..."
"No!" Cen Yu immediately stopped Jiang Jueming's hand, which was about to take out his phone.
"He's my college classmate!" Cen Yu immediately explained!
After he finished speaking, he immediately looked at Xie Jinshen. After hesitating for a second, Xie Jinshen nodded as Cen Yu had expected.
“I see.” Jiang Jueming nodded.
He looked at Cen Yu and said, "Let's go, our agent needs to speak with us."
Cen Yu pondered the plot for a moment, then they were to go to the dormitory... So he greeted Xie Jinshen again, and with a threatening look, told him not to say anything, before leaving the backstage area.
Xie Jinshen simply watched the two figures leave in silence.
He found Jiang Jueming increasingly annoying.
...
Where did you just go?
Cen Yu and Jiang Jueming had just arrived in the lounge when they saw their current manager, He Ci.
Although he's called an agent, He Ci has connections and influence in the industry, so it's a waste of his talents to manage a new boy group like theirs.
However, this boy group is a key project for He Ci's company in the new year, so it's not surprising that he's the manager. But Cen Yu guesses that if it's really implemented, someone else in the company will probably take over.
Perhaps because it was their first meeting, He Ci appeared in the lounge.
He Ci was wearing a perfectly pressed three-piece suit without a single wrinkle. Perhaps because of his long hours of working late into the night, he always gave people a gloomy yet handsome impression... At this moment, he looked at Cen Yu, who was late, with even more impatience.
"If Jiang Jueming hadn't come to find you, I would have already called the police to see if you had been kidnapped?"
As soon as he said that, the people in the lounge who didn't get along with Cen Yu had just raised the corners of their mouths when He Ci's gaze swept over them and he said, "Is it funny? Did I come here to give you a stand-up comedy routine?"
"..." The person who was just about to laugh.
"..." Now, Cen Yu was about to laugh.
Jiang Jueming didn't care about He Ci's attitude and went straight in to find a chair to sit down.
As a missing person found by Jiang Jueming, Cen Yu naturally didn't dare to be so presumptuous. Moreover, his persona was always that of someone who was cautious and timid when facing these big shots, so he hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, Brother He, I was on the phone with my family and that took up some time."
Jiang Jueming raised an eyebrow in surprise, not expecting Cen Yu to be so good at making up lies on the spot.
He Ci leaned back in his chair, his fingers tapping lightly on his knees. "You think you can use this kind of family affection as an excuse and I won't say anything to you?"
"Troublesome," Cen Yu thought to himself, rolling his eyes.
Fortunately, He Ci came to discuss serious matters today and did not dwell on the matter. He gestured for Cen Yu to sit down and then began to explain the rules and the upcoming schedule to everyone.
“There’s a fashion brand event in two weeks, which will be your first public appearance,” He Ci said bluntly. “There will be many big names in attendance that day, and I won’t be with you the whole time.”
After all, he has many heavyweight award-winning actors and actresses under his wing, and he doesn't have time to take care of these newcomers who came out of talent shows.
"Your executive agent will go over the points to note with you again later."
"Next, I'll talk about your dormitory arrangements."
He Ci looked at Cen Yu and the others, "You will be staying temporarily in the large apartments arranged by the company, two people per room. As for the extra room..." He looked at Jiang Jueming, "You can stay there."
This also confirms that Jiang Jueming is the most popular, so he can stay in a single room.
"The remaining rooms will be drawn by lottery."
He Ci looked at them and said, "I know that some of you have a good relationship and some don't."
"But since we're a team, I don't want people who don't get along to be unable to put on a show. If that's the case, it's better to train them up as soon as possible."
Cen Yu wasn't in a hurry. He remembered that he was drawn together with a teammate who didn't have much presence in the original work.
When He Ci had his assistant bring out the boxes and gestured for everyone to draw lots, He Ci looked at Cen Yu—
"You go first."
