"It's finally over."
Lin Zeran impatiently loosened his striped bow tie and picked up his phone to take a look.
The internet is in an uproar, with everyone criticizing him for blatantly stealing Xiao Wanjun's resources.
[Yu Huinian: Lin Zeran, you're something else! You've been holding back a lot of things without saying a word! (Thumbs up)]
What the hell did he burp into?!
Can't you speak properly?!
[Lin Zeran: Get out! I didn't do this!]
[Yu Huinian: Really? I don't believe it. Who else but you could have that ability?]
"..." Lin Zeran was speechless.
He threw his phone on the sofa, cursing angrily, "Damn it, I'm more wronged than Dou E!"
God knows how bewildered he was when he was happily sleeping in bed early in the morning, only to be suddenly dragged out of bed by his agent, slumped over, and thrown into the press conference with a completely dazed look on his face.
She's now being called a scheming bitch by Xiao Wanjun's fans.
Lin Zeran suspected that Xiao Wanjun was trying to harm him.
After all, Xiao Wanjun may appear aloof and detached, but she is actually quite ruthless.
He has tricked me, both openly and secretly, more than a dozen times, and it's almost given me a psychological trauma.
"What exactly is going on today?" Lin Zeran had just lit a cigarette when he caught a glimpse of his manager walking towards him.
Agent Zhang Jiayi: "The company has given you all of Xiao Wanjun's resources."
\"Um?\"
"This was a decision made personally by President He."
"..." Lin Zeran paused in his hand as he lit the lighter, his anger instantly dissipating: "Haha, has Xiao Wanjun offended He Xiangdi?"
Having worked at Oriental Entertainment for so many years, he knew He Xiangdi was a ruthless and vicious madman. No matter how valuable an artist was, if they violated his taboos, he would suppress them without mercy.
Of course, for obedient artists, Oriental Entertainment also provides quite generous resources.
Otherwise, so many people wouldn't be scrambling to get into Oriental Entertainment.
It angered He Xiangdi so much that he gave all of his resources to himself.
Tsk tsk, Xiao Wanjun has committed a huge taboo.
Could it be that he stole He Xiangdi's wife?
"I guess so." Zhang Jiayi frowned slightly, recalling the rumors she'd heard yesterday. She glanced at Lin Zeran: "You're not thinking of helping him, are you?"
"Help him?" Lin Zeran lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and slowly exhaled the smoke. He said to Zhang Jiayi, "Are you kidding me? I'd be merciful if I didn't take advantage of him, not help him."
He can't help him to death.
Looking at Lin Zeran's handsome face through the swirling smoke, Zhang Jiayi thought to herself, "That makes sense."
When she went to wake Lin Zheran this morning, the kid was hugging his blanket and laughing like a mentally challenged child, calling out, "Jiang Feng, Jiang Feng..."
She had heard that President He and Jiang Feng had a special relationship, but Lin Zeran seemed oblivious to it.
Forget it, we'll talk about this later.
Given Lin Zeran's relationship with Xiao Wanjun, he would never help.
"Any plans for tonight? If not, I'd like to relax at a bar." Lin Zeran raised an eyebrow and looked at Zhang Jiayi.
I think you're not going to relax, you're going to celebrate, aren't you?
Zhang Jiayi mentally scoffed and replied, "No, but there will be some tomorrow morning. Be careful, don't get photographed by paparazzi."
"I know what I'm doing." Lin Zeran calmly finished his cigarette, then stubbed it out in the ashtray. "Even if they take pictures, I'm not afraid. Same old routine: beat them up, delete the photos."
Zhang Jiayi: "..." Guess what I'm afraid of.
...
Shi Xi was so busy he barely had time to breathe, and Xiao Wanjun didn't come to see him either. These days, the two of them had been in contact through WeChat and occasionally video chatted.
Just as Shi Xi expected, Xiao Wanjun did not reveal her current situation to him, pretending that nothing had happened.
When Shi Xi saw that Xiao Wanjun's high-end endorsement had been given to Lin Zeran again, the group was no longer as indignant as it had been at the beginning.
Shi Xi thought to herself: Xiao Wanjun is really good at keeping his composure.
He had just left the group chat when he received a call notification. He glanced at it and saw that the caller was Xiao Wanjun.
Shi Xi answered the phone—
"Wan Jun, is there something you need?"
"No..." There was a sound from Xiao Wanjun's end, it sounded like the wind, "I just missed you."
Shi Xi leaned back in her chair, looking at the planning documents for the western suburbs project that had passed resolution and was now under construction. "I just finished my work and I'm free these next couple of days. Shall we go out and have some fun?"
"Okay." Xiao Wanjun agreed.
"I'm off these two days, how about we go hiking together tomorrow?" Xiao Wanjun said, "It's been a long time since I've hiked a mountain."
Shouldn't we spend our time resting eating, shopping, and watching movies?
Why go through all that trouble to climb a mountain?
Shi Xi inwardly cursed, but still smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll pick you up tomorrow?"
"Okay, just come to my place." Xiao Wanjun quickly replied, "I've prepared a gift for you."
"A gift?" Shi Xi asked.
The details of their interactions were only briefly mentioned, and he had no idea what exactly they did.
He never expected that Xiao Wanjun would prepare a gift for him.
"I hope you like it."
"I'm sure I'll like it."
\"That's good.\"
Shi Xi glanced at the assistant at the door who had notified him of the meeting, "I have another meeting. See you tomorrow."
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
...
Xiao Wanjun hung up the phone, while He Luoluo next to her looked on with a gossipy expression.
Noticing He Luoluo's unusual behavior, Xiao Wanjun glanced at her and asked, "Is something wrong?"
He Luoluo hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped. It wasn't that Brother Xiao hadn't contacted Boss Jiang before, but lately she felt something was very off…
Brother Xiao used to speak very simply and clearly when he talked to Boss Jiang, and his tone was never this gentle.
Not to mention saying anything cheesy like, "I just missed you."
She could hardly believe those words came from Brother Xiao's mouth.
"...Brother Xiao, are you and President Jiang together?" He Luoluo blinked and asked tentatively.
Xiao Wanjun: "Mm."
When this topic was brought up, Xiao Wanjun's expression softened.
Even the fatigue he had felt recently had dissipated somewhat, as Jiang Feng would send him messages every day, sharing what had happened to him.
It feels great to be naturally involved in other people's lives.
"Since Xiao Jiang is your boyfriend," He Luoluo asked cautiously, "then why don't you tell him about President He's recent..."
Mr. Jiang and Mr. He have been friends for many years. With his intervention, the current situation will surely be resolved.
She still doesn't know what Xiao Ge did wrong to deserve such punishment from President He.
She had been Xiao Ge's assistant for almost two years. Xiao Ge was always cautious in his words and deeds and meticulous in his work. She really couldn't figure out what Xiao Ge had done to offend President He.
Xiao Wanjun frowned, his dark eyes glancing at her with a hint of displeasure: "Don't tell him."
He Luoluo looked embarrassed and shut up.
Xiao Wanjun: "Alright, the matter is settled, let's go back."
He Luoluo said "Oh," and the car quickly started moving.
