"Knock, knock, knock." Xihe went to open the door. She had just called the cleaning lady. The messy wine bottles on the floor needed to be cleaned up, and all the photos of Zhang Shao on the wall had to be torn down. She found them an eyesore.
The cleaning team was very quick and the house was empty after an hour. Zhang Shao's clothes, jewelry, and autograph book were all packed into garbage bags and taken away. This took three trips.
It’s not that Zhang Shao has lived here before. They were just boyfriend and girlfriend and didn’t have any substantial relationship.
In order to maintain relationships with fans, some artists often sell or give used items to fans. Zhang Shao is one of them.
These were collected by the original owner over the years and filled the entire house.
Usually Zhang Shao ignores her, so she comes here to see things that remind her of him.
Xihe couldn't help but feel fortunate. Although the original owner was not very smart and destroyed her family for a scumbag, she was very naive and thought that getting together on the wedding night was romantic. No matter how Zhang Shao coaxed her, she refused to agree, otherwise she would have to spit it out.
Xihe lived in this house for the next few days, ordering takeout for breakfast and having the aunt cook lunch and dinner.
During this period, she went back to the Jin family's old house, but Jin's father was still abroad discussing cooperation and had not returned yet, so she took some snacks and came back.
During this period, Zhang Shao did not make a single phone call, but was still posting updates and interacting with fans on his v-blog, which was very lively.
Xihe didn't care. She was searching for entries related to Cheng Bai, trying to learn more about the target of the mission.
However, there are very few topics found in the search, most of which are from a few years ago, group photos or individual photos of the group members attending events and singing together. At that time, the group was still very popular and performed everywhere every day.
She clicked on one of the videos, and the powerful music hit her. The people on the stage were dancing enthusiastically, and the boy in the middle was particularly eye-catching.
He was wearing black suit pants, a white shirt, and a vest, with his sleeves rolled up to his elbows, revealing his well-proportioned arms.
As the drums beat, his movements were clean and smooth, his limbs slender. At the end, his head suddenly turned towards the camera, and his clear black eyes were brighter than the lights on the stage.
The fans below the stage screamed wildly: "Cheng Bo! Cheng Bo!" and almost blew the roof off.
Cheng Bai smiled at everyone, his chest rising and falling slightly.
“…”
It took Xihe a while to recover.
She didn't expect that Cheng Bai was like this back then, dazzling, eye-catching, and full of vigor.
She still remembers a recent photo of him, where he was standing quietly behind his teammates, smiling at the camera, as if all the thorns on his body had been removed, and he was so gentle that there was no trace of his former sharpness.
It was as if he had changed completely since his throat was poisoned.
Xihe's heart was gripped tightly.
This incident caused a big stir at the time and the police were even called.
Someone poisoned Cheng Bo's water, hoping to ruin his voice. The police arrived immediately, and the person who poisoned him claimed to dislike him. Everyone knew it was a serious matter, but he refused to admit it. Cheng Bo had no choice but to suffer in silence, and even the compensation he received was only 20,000 yuan because the person had no money.
The original owner was shocked when he heard the news, and quickly asked Zhang Shao as his number one fan if anything had happened.
Zhang Shao was fine, of course. He even gloated to the original owner, "I told Cheng Bai a long time ago not to always look down on others with such condescending attitude. It makes people hate him. He just wouldn't listen, and now he's suffering. Tsk."
He had disliked Cheng Bai for a long time, and when Cheng Bai got into trouble, he wanted to set off firecrackers to celebrate.
It was also from that day that the entire group began to go downhill.
The group was indeed very popular back then, but it was actually thanks to Cheng Bo. He had an outstanding appearance and a beautiful voice, and he could sing simple lyrics and make them popular all over the country. But after his throat was damaged and the lead singer was replaced, the group's fans dwindled, and it remained tepid for the next few years.
Until three months ago, the group could no longer hold on and disbanded, and everyone started looking for their own way out.
For example, Zhang Shao wants to act.
He is extremely ambitious and disdains to act in those small web dramas. He has set his sights on Director Zhang's new drama that is about to start filming.
I am determined to take advantage of Director Zhang's support and soar to success.
...Director Zhang is a popular director in the entertainment industry. Every work he makes is a masterpiece. Who wouldn’t want it?
Naturally, he set his sights on the original owner again.
His tone is still so righteous.
Xihe was speechless. She looked out the window. The night was thick, and the neon lights of the building across the street, Emperor Phoenix Media, shone into the room. An advertisement was playing on the wall, starring none other than Bai Yu, Emperor Phoenix's most popular star.
He has been in the industry for many years and has played many well-known classic roles. He is handsome and charming, and has countless fans.
Zhang Shao even said sourly to the original owner that if he were given so many resources, he would be more powerful than him.
He immediately instructed the original owner that he also wanted to go to 'Emperor Phoenix' and sign under a gold medal agent.
“…”
I don't know why his face is so big.
However, compared with other companies, 'Emperor Phoenix Media' is indeed conscientious, and it is a perfect place for Cheng Bai to go.
The boss of Changhong Entertainment is extremely cruel. Not only does he exploit his employees to death, but the contract also contains unfair terms. He tricked Cheng Bo and others into signing a contract for a full twenty years, and the penalty for breach of contract is ridiculously high.
Zhang Shao relied on the fact that the original owner would pay him, so he didn't worry about the penalty and was so bold as to want to switch to Dihuang.
The other two members come from well-off families, and if their families work hard, they will definitely be able to get them out of this dire situation.
The only one left is Cheng Bo. He is an orphan. His only valuable voice was poisoned by someone. His agent doesn't help him either. He doesn't know how long it will take him to earn the penalty.
Anyway, in the plot, Zhang Shao was rescued by the original owner, and the other two team members also left one after another, only Cheng Bai did not leave.
He has been relying on himself to travel around various film and television bases, trying hard to find opportunities, not afraid of hardship or fatigue. In the end, his face was disfigured by the original owner, and it can be said that his final path was blocked.
The dog was stunned: "How miserable."
What a pitiful man! His good life was ruined by others.
Xihe rubbed his brows and said, "Let's go to Emperor Phoenix Media tomorrow."
She turned off her phone and went back to her room to sleep.
The next day, Xihe slept until nine in the morning, got up, washed his face, brushed his teeth, ate, changed his clothes, and went straight to the Dihuang Media Building opposite. As soon as he walked downstairs, he saw a boy in a white sportswear and a baseball cap leaning against the wall and drowsy.
She paused, then walked over quickly: "Mr. Li."
Li Huan opened his eyes, slowly stood up and stretched: "Why are you looking for me? I didn't sleep last night, I'm so sleepy."
Xihe handed over the milk tea in his hand: "Aren't you the younger brother of the president of Emperor Phoenix Media? I want to send someone to Emperor Phoenix, can you help me?"
Li Huan took it, slurped it, and looked at her: "Your idol again? No, he's too bad. My brother won't agree."
"Not him."
"Why???"
