The 80th melon
Bright moon in the sky
Under the cover of night, the Kassel Hotel was as magnificent as a palace, and guests left in twos and threes.
Reporters and media were still crowding at the hotel entrance, flashing their cameras continuously as they took pictures of the guests leaving.
As the CEO of Kassel, Situ Qing said goodbye to many guests at the hotel entrance. Seeing that Mr. He had not come out yet, she took the initiative to return to the hotel lobby.
Situ Qing greeted Mr. He politely, and glanced at He Jingjing and Yu Xiao behind him. "It seems that Mr. He still has family matters to deal with."
"Well," Mr. He responded politely, "The internet is full of photos of the Cassel dinner right now. It might get even more lively soon. Mr. Situ, I'll trouble you with Cassel's PR tonight."
"We're all from the same company, so why would we have any trouble?" Situ Qing smiled. She lightly swept the hem of her skirt, making her standing posture more dignified and elegant. "Then Mr. He, I'll go back first and not disturb you from taking care of your family affairs."
After saying goodbye to Mr. He, Situ Qing turned and left the hotel. The doorman outside attentively opened the car door for her. Situ Qing lowered herself into the Porsche, her black evening gown slowly disappearing from Mr. He's sight.
The moment the Porsche left, the polite smile on Mr. He's face disappeared.
He called the lobby manager and brought He Jingjing and Yu Xiao to the conference room.
The lobby manager opened the door to the conference room and said, "Mr. He, this is our hotel's conference room. It's very soundproof. Please come in."
After saying that, the lobby manager left respectfully.
Just as Mr. He was about to step into the meeting room, He Jingjing suddenly stopped him.
"dad!"
Her voice trembled slightly, and there was a timid flicker in the corners of her eyes. After a while, He Jingjing finally mustered up the courage, looked up at Mr. He, and said seriously, "Dad, let me handle this matter myself!"
Mr. He didn't say anything.
His gaze fell on He Jingjing, serious and full of helplessness, containing the helplessness of a father towards his daughter. Then, his gaze fell on Yu Xiao.
Icy and biting, like two sharp swords.
Yu Xiao's hair stood on end for a moment.
——In the past, he would get scared when he saw Mr. He. Now that Mr. He knows his true face, he is even more frightened and his legs are shaking.
"Jingjing, this is not a trivial matter." Mr. He said in a deep voice.
"But I'm grown up now," He Jingjing insisted. "Dad, don't treat me like a child. I can handle it."
Mr. He looked at He Jingjing steadily.
Neither of them had any intention of backing down. Their daughter, who had been so timid in the past, had now become extremely tough. Their stubborn tempers seemed to be cut from the same mold.
After a while, Mr. He was the first to give in. He sighed and said, "Okay, you can handle this matter yourself. Just do it. No matter what happens, Dad will cover it for you!"
He Jingjing smiled and said, "Thank you, Dad!"
After Mr. He left, only He Jingjing and Yu Xiao were left in the meeting room.
Yu Xiao breathed a long sigh of relief. The tense string in his heart suddenly relaxed, making his breathing much smoother.
If the person who came wasn't Mr. He, but only He Jingjing, this matter would be easier to handle. He and He Jingjing had been married for three years, didn't he understand He Jingjing's temper? She was as soft as a boneless bone. If he said a few more sweet words, He Jingjing would soften her heart, and this matter would definitely not get out of hand.
"Yu Xiao,"
He Jingjing's sudden voice interrupted Yu Xiao's thoughts. Yu Xiao looked up and saw He Jingjing sitting in the main seat of the conference room. She was still short and plump, but for some reason, her back was straight. Even when she looked up at him, she didn't show any sign of timidity or humility.
"Let's get divorced." He Jingjing said seriously.
"W-what?"
The smirk on Yu Xiao's face disappeared instantly. He even suspected that he had heard it wrong and asked again.
"I say, let's get a divorce!"
He Jingjing spoke clearly, emphasizing each word. "After the divorce, Cassel will cancel their cooperation with you. After all, you became the spokesperson thanks to my father. Since we are getting a divorce, you certainly can't continue to enjoy this preferential treatment."
"Jingjing, are you kidding me?"
Yu Xiao became nervous and his tone became panicked. He hurriedly walked over to He Jingjing and put his arm around her shoulders. "We have a good relationship, why do we want to get a divorce? Is it because of what happened at the banquet just now?"
"It's not just because of that incident, there are many other things. I've figured it out." He Jingjing pulled away Yu Xiao's hand on her shoulder and kept a certain distance from him. "I know you don't like me. You like Wen Wanning, or maybe even Lin Cha, those pretty girls, not me."
"I used to be very bothered and sad, but now I think, forget it. A forced melon is not sweet. If you don't like me, I'll just let you go."
"No! It's not!"
Yu Xiao hugged He Jingjing again, his face pale. "Jingjing! Have you been brainwashed by Wen Wanning and the others? How could I not love you? I love you the most in this world! Don't be confused!"
"I'm not confused," He Jingjing said in a cold voice, "Yu Xiao, haven't you always said that you are excellent? Didn't you say that I am not worthy of you and am a burden to you? Now, I will give you a chance to return to the top."
After saying that, He Jingjing shook off Yu Xiao's hand and walked towards the door firmly. Yu Xiao was still trying to hold her back, but He Jingjing didn't look back at all.
For countless days and nights, He Jingjing had held Yu Xiao in her arms, begging for his love. He had never imagined that one day, Yu Xiao would humble himself to the bone in order to win her back, even wanting to kneel before her.
He Jingjing suddenly laughed at herself. Wen Wanning was right. Men, when you don't take them seriously, they will take you seriously.
Why did she take Yu Xiao so seriously in the past? Why was she so worried about Yu Xiao leaving?
The Yu Xiao who is now like a dog and almost kneels down to beg me to come back is the real Yu Xiao! He is not trying to win me back for love. This kind of person only has interests in his heart!
And she is the one who holds the power and interests!
He Jingjing suddenly felt relieved and turned to look at Yu Xiao, "Yu Xiao, don't be like this."
Yu Xiao looked up suddenly.
Jingjing's tone...seemed to have become slower and gentler. There was still room for the two of them to make amends!
He rushed forward excitedly, but the next second, he heard He Jingjing's cold voice, "You are only making me look down on you even more."
After saying that, He Jingjing turned around and walked straight towards the door. Yu Xiao was left alone, with He Jingjing's words still lingering in his head -
"It makes me despise you even more..."
"I look down on you..."
"I look down on you..."
Yu Xiao’s handsome face turned red in an instant, and his muscles became unnatural.
It's fine if Wen Wanning looks down on me, but what right does He Jingjing have to look down on me? She doesn't even consider who she is? And she still has the nerve to look down on him!
Yu Xiao was already holding his breath, and his anger suddenly flared up. Looking at He Jingjing's short and fat back, Yu Xiao could no longer hold back and started cursing:
"He Jingjing, you fat pig! Why do you look down on me?"
"If you didn't have a father who was a director in Kassel, would you be qualified to marry me or talk to me with your appearance?"
"Before you look down on me, can you please take a piss and use it as a mirror to see what you really look like?"
He Jingjing grabbed the door handle and her body froze.
She turned around and stared at Yu Xiao in a daze.
Even though they had slept in the same bed for three years, she never thought that Yu Xiao would speak such harsh words to her!
The decency of the past has been torn apart, and the bloody truth underneath is even more ugly.
This is Yu Xiao!
This is a Yu Xiao who is more real and uglier than the one He Jingjing originally knew!
But at this moment, facing the insults attacking her appearance again, He Jingjing didn't feel much.
What's the big deal if you get scolded by a piece of trash? Just like if you get bitten by a dog, do you have to bite it back?
Three years wasted, just like feeding the dog.
He Jingjing raised her eyes and looked at Yu Xiao.
He was still cursing at himself, his words even harsher than before, more unbearable to hear. But He Jingjing didn't show any anger at all, and said calmly, "Yu Xiao, as long as you are a man, there is nothing wrong with us parting ways amicably. You are still the best actor in the entertainment industry."
"But now, you dug your own grave, you can't blame me."
"I dug my own grave?"
Yu Xiao laughed arrogantly, kicked the nearest chair hard, and sat down in the main seat. "I'm an Oscar winner now, no matter what. Your father is just a director of Cassel. He can block my fashion resources, so do you think he can block my film and television resources too? He Jingjing, you think too highly of yourself, don't you?"
He Jingjing still didn't say anything.
Just staring at Yu Xiao made Yu Xiao's scalp tingle.
Suddenly, Yu Xiao's phone rang, and the caller ID showed it was his agent. Yu Xiao instinctively hung up the phone, but then he heard He Jingjing suddenly say, "I hope you can still be so outspoken after this call."
Yu Xiao was stunned, his eyes instantly alert, "What did you do?"
"It's not what I did," He Jing shrugged and said indifferently, "In the entertainment industry, you should think more about what you did."
Yu Xiao was confused, but his heart was in his throat, yet he still answered the phone.
On the other end of the phone, the agent's heartbreaking roar came, "Yu Xiao! What are you doing! Do you know what you are saying? You are a public figure! How could you possibly speak like that! Now all your fans online have seen it!!!"
"What?"
Yu Xiao didn't react for a moment.
But before the agent could explain, He Jingjing walked to the projection screen in the conference room and took out a small pinhole camera from the potted plant on the right side of the screen.
With a loud "boom".
Yu Xiao felt as if his head suddenly exploded and the world went dark.
Ten minutes ago, the Kassel dinner ended, and netizens were praising the looks of Kassel's spokesperson and close friends, which was a visual feast.
However, ten minutes later, the live broadcast of the confrontation between Yu Xiao and He Jingjing was like a bolt from the blue, causing an uproar on the Internet.
[There was so much information, I didn’t know how to complain!]
[So what Lin Cha revealed this afternoon was true. Yu Xiao does have a wife! It's not like Lin Cha was mistaken!]
[And his wife seduced Lin Cha and even hyped up relationships with various female celebrities! It's really disgusting! (I don't mean to criticize female celebrities, after all, those female celebrities didn't know that Yu Xiao was secretly married)]
Yu Xiao's attitude towards his wife is disgusting! She's just fat, did she eat your rice to get fat? Girls should eat more. I'll kill this scumbag Xiao with one punch!
[Resist this scumbag! He clearly took so many resources from Miss He, yet he secretly looked down on her. This kind of man is the most disgusting!]
[The thought of this scumbag being the best actor is so disgusting I want to vomit!]
[Upstairs, character has nothing to do with talent. A scumbag is a scumbag!]
[Resist the morally corrupt artists making money in the entertainment industry! Yu the scumbag, get out of the entertainment industry now!]
[Yu the scumbag, get out of the entertainment industry!]
In the live video, Yu Xiao's reputation collapsed completely, and his Weibo posts were filled with fans shouting "Get out of the entertainment industry."
Even the fan club that had been supporting Yu Xiao in the afternoon issued a statement, expressing its opposition to morally corrupt and bad artists making money in the entertainment industry. Yu Xiao's national fan club will be closed today. At the same time, the fan club solemnly apologized to Lin Cha, saying that they should not have scolded Lin Cha in the afternoon for falsely accusing her brother of getting married.
When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. Now, Yu Xiao’s reputation on the Internet is completely ruined.
In the conference room, he looked at the insults on the Internet, his hands holding the phone were shaking, his legs went weak, and he knelt on the ground.
He Jingjing sighed and turned to leave.
Yu Xiao was like a frightened bird. He rolled and crawled in front of He Jingjing in a panic and hugged He Jingjing's thighs tightly.
"Jingjing, I was wrong! This time I really know I was wrong! Can you give me another chance? Please! Jingjing, I can't get a divorce. I can't let my relationship fall apart! If I fall apart and get a divorce, I'll really be left with nothing! Jingjing, please, help me! Please help me!"
He Jingjing looked at Yu Xiao coldly, even with contempt.
So this is the angle from which you look down on someone.
It feels so good to look down on scumbags!
Suddenly, He Jingjing smiled gently.
"Yu Xiao, let me help you get back to the top. It's easy."
"Unfortunately, you don't deserve it."
After saying that, He Jingjing kicked Yu Xiao away and walked away wearing a gorgeous Kassel haute couture dress.
That night was the most glorious moment for Yu Xiao since his debut, with more than a dozen hot searches related to him.
#Kassel Dinner#
#Kassel and Yu Xiao terminate their contract#
#LinchaCaselle Dress#
#Yu Xiao's house collapses#
#Yu Xiao get out of the entertainment industry#
Netizens were eating up the gossip all night, including the gossip about Yu Xiao having plastic surgery to improve his abdominal muscles, which was exposed by Sun Qianqian through her marketing account.
However, this is the last time I will eat the melon about Yu Xiao.
Video websites have completely removed Yu Xiao’s works, and the Radio, Film and Television Administration has also issued an announcement, advocating for the all-round development of film and television practitioners in morality, intelligence, physical fitness and aesthetics, setting a good example for the masses, and resolutely resisting any bad artists from continuing to operate in the film and television industry!
Yu Xiao never thought that the footage in the live broadcast of Kassel would be the last glory of his life.
The next afternoon, Lin Cha came to Kassel Building again.
Although Yu Xiao's reputation has collapsed, his endorsement will continue and GG will continue to film. It's just that he's missing a partner, and I don't know if Cassell has any alternatives.
It was different from when Fu Xinghan was dismissed during the filming of Blue Wind Bell GG. At that time, Lin Cha and Fu Xinghan were just spokespersons. Blue Wind Bell just found two spokespersons at the same time. If one is missing, it’s gone. The PR department can just find a suitable spokesperson later.
But this time, Cassell is recruiting a spokesperson to endorse a series of couple accessories. A single person is definitely not as marketing-savvy as a pair, so a partner becomes particularly important.
"It's not easy for Cassel to find a suitable spokesperson right away!" Chen Yun sighed in the elevator. "Let's not talk about someone like Yu Xiao who got in through a backdoor. Cassel's standard for selecting spokespersons is generally to look for celebrities with both high status and high popularity. Jiang Mingkai might have been suitable in the early days, but now that his image as a stay-at-home dad is so well-known, I'm afraid he's no longer suitable. I discussed this with President Sun yesterday, and it seems like there aren't many people they can hire."
"It's not like there's a complete mess, is it?" Lin Cha asked curiously. "Since they've already asked us to come and film GG, they probably already have a backup plan."
"Let's hope so!" Chen Yun prayed silently in her heart.
While the two were chatting, the elevator reached the 34th floor, which was the location of the internal studio in Kassel.
"The studio is all set up!" Chen Yun exclaimed, "Looks like we've found the right spokesperson!"
Lin Cha also looked curious. She held her large kettle of barley water and took two deep sips, her cheeks bulging.
Looking around, I found that there were not many staff members in the studio. Many of them were gathered outside the dressing room, whispering at the door.
“So handsome!”
"Help! I didn't expect the company would ask him to come to the rescue! Hahaha, Yu Xiao's collapse is so wonderful!"
"The company must have spent a lot of money to invite such a big shot, right?"
"Please, it's worth any amount of money to invite a star like this~"
Lin Cha looked at the crowds at the makeup artist's door and blinked.
"It looks like my partner has arrived."
The other party should have arrived at the Kassel Building in the morning and completed the contract. That's why he showed up at the studio in the afternoon, even earlier than Lin Cha.
At this moment, the staff exclaimed again at the door of the dressing room. The man finished his makeup and walked out of the dressing room.
Sunlight streamed in from the window, and against the backlight, the scenery before him became less real. Lin Cha only saw a tall figure slowly walking towards him.
It wasn't until he walked in front of her that Lin Cha saw his face clearly.
It's obviously a familiar face.
Lin Cha suddenly felt dazed.
"Teacher Shen?!"
Chen Yun was surprised and said, "I didn't expect that you would be the new spokesperson for Cassel!"
"What a coincidence, Miss Chen," Chen Zui said with a smile, "We meet again."
He stood in front of Lin Cha.
The sunlight from the distant mountains gave the two of them a golden edge. There was floating dust in the air, but there was also an inexplicably ambiguous atmosphere.
Around, the low exclamations of the onlookers were heard again -
"Ahhh! I thought they were a perfect match when I saw them on the red carpet at the engagement reception! Now seeing them live, they look even better together!"
"Will they fall in love with each other because of the drama? Is that possible? Wow, their looks are such a perfect match! Our couple spokespersons this time are a sure win!"
"Teacher Shen beat Yu Xiao in seconds. This wave of spokespersons is a complete winner! So pleasing to the eyes. I like this kind of couple!"
"Hurry up and take a picture and send it to our Zui Cha CP group! When these two stand together, I can almost see pink bubbles~~"
Lin Cha looked up and looked at Shenzui in front of him.
For some reason, even though they had just met on the set two days before, and she had attended Lu Yanyan's engagement party with Shen Zui the week before, Lin Cha felt as if she hadn't seen Shen Zui in ages.
——Maybe it’s because I went back to Hengdian two days ago. Although we were in the same crew, we didn’t have any scenes together and didn’t have time to talk.
Seeing Shenzui now, Lin Cha felt like seeing an acquaintance. He relaxed and became happy from the bottom of his heart. He said with a smile, "Teacher Shen, we meet again. It's a pleasure to work with you this time!"
[I'm so happy! My partner is Mr. Shen, and I get to learn acting from him again! I'm going to learn more now. Maybe after I complete this mission, I can become an actor myself~]
[Perfect~Hehe~~]
He looked at Lin Cha in a daze and remained silent for a while.
He has always been gentle and polite, but at this moment there is endless loneliness in his eyes. Even though his tone is gentle, there is a sense of alienation that keeps people at a distance.
Facing Lin Cha's greeting, Chenzui lowered his eyelids without a smile on his face.
"Well, it's a pleasure to work with you."
