Chapter 05 Boss, I Hate You
Although she scolded the photographer, she seemed to know that she was in the wrong and did not cause any trouble. Li Ji's photo was still published smoothly in this issue of the magazine.
In the photo, he is wearing a slim black suit, with a belt tightly wrapped around his strong and slender waist. His dark black hair slightly covers his dark eyebrows and eyes. The background is a gloomy gray, and his eyes are deep and profound, which is particularly attractive, as if to make people fall in love with him.
The response to this issue of the magazine was quite good, with most people expressing praise and excitement for the interview with Chen Shuoxing.
Only a few people were curious about who the handsome cover boy was. Even Li Ji's newly opened Weibo account gained a lot of attention, which made him a little uncomfortable.
Even on Weibo, which only had a few photos, many comments emerged -
"Brother, you are so handsome. I look forward to seeing more of your works."
'Are there any other photos? Let me look at them while I eat.'
"Brother, you are so beautiful. What skin care products do you use? Please recommend."
…
Something like this.
Li Ji's face didn't show much expression, and he was even as frivolous and casual as ever, but he read the comments several times, his expression somewhat complicated.
Sheng Zhao probably knew the joy in his heart, narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled and said, "You are very happy, right? Many people have begun to like you."
Li Ji paused, suppressed his smile, and his crow-feather eyelashes slightly concealed the emotions in his eyes.
After a long while, under Sheng Zhao's gaze, he uttered something incomprehensible in a hoarse voice, "...No one liked me before."
Sheng Zhao was a little confused about his temper again. His emotions were up and down, but now there was not much ripple in his eyes, but some deep emotions.
She squatted down, looked him in the eye, stared at his cold and narrow eyebrows, and said softly, "But at least I like you."
Her eyes were serious, even slightly smiling, and she took a deep breath as if something was about to emerge from the deep sea.
"You're perfect, I really, really like you."
Sheng Zhao lowered his eyes to hide his emotions and let out a breath.
Li Ji's heart suddenly trembled, his Adam's apple trembled, he pursed his lips and glanced away.
He didn't say anything else, but his eyebrows drooped slightly, probably because he had some incomprehensible emotions in his heart. His heart was beating hotly under Sheng Zhao's smile.
...So strange.
He thought Sheng Zhao was a strange person.
She had a bright and gentle expression, yet was unexpectedly a little dazed. She looked young, yet surprisingly reliable, although sometimes a little strange, but - just like her appearance, she was a clear-minded person.
Sheng Zhao was very sensitive to emotions and knew that this was to appease him, and she wouldn't ask unless Li Ji talked about his past.
Because she has no interest in it.
The only thing that interested her was his brilliant career, nothing more.
She looked at Li Ji's deep and profound eyes, and could probably guess that he didn't have any good memories of the past.
Sheng Zhao just looked at her, tilted his head slightly, and then raised a beautiful smile.
Although he completed the first job smoothly, Li Ji's professional foundation is far inferior to that of serious models and idols. He still needs training in basic courses such as vocal music, dance, and body shape.
So Sheng Zhao arranged for him to attend the training class of Huayun Entertainment Company.
Sheng Zhao did not accompany him, and Li Ji felt a little uncomfortable. He used to work mostly at night, and seeing so many people during the day made him feel very uncomfortable.
Sheng Zhao told him that she had to find out about the next filming job, so she couldn't go with him.
Although Li Ji had no objection to this, without Sheng Zhao by his side, he didn't recognize anyone else, so he could only remain expressionless.
He had an upright posture, broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and a cold and calm face. Looking at him from afar made the other trainees feel a little scared, and no one came back to talk to him.
He had just finished a dance class. Huayun Entertainment was indeed a giant in the entertainment industry, and the classes were so intense that even Li Ji, who had a very good physique, was breathless and exhausted.
He wiped his hair while sending a message to Sheng Zhao. They had been together almost all the time in the past few days, so he was not used to this sudden separation.
After all, Li Ji's life before was reversed day and night, and he looked a little nervous when he saw so many people during the day.
The water droplets in his hair slid down his smooth neck and Adam's apple, disappearing into his collar, which made him look quite sexy.
Li Ji: I've finished my dance class.
Sheng Zhao: [Amazing!]
She sent an initial emoticon package of a smiling kitten praising someone. It looked silly, but it made Li Ji slightly curl up the corners of his lips.
He dried his hair, stood up and walked towards the trainee lounge. There were snacks, cakes and coffee in the lounge. Although there was a wide variety of snacks, the male trainees who had extremely strict physical requirements just looked at them, hiding their desire and chatting with the people around them.
Li Ji also glanced over the snack cake. He had been eating apples for dinner for a week because of his diet, and he didn't want to indulge in eating them all at once, so he just filled a cup of coffee in front of the coffee machine.
Before he could finish the call, someone stumbled and accidentally bumped into him. If he hadn't been quick, the coffee would have spilled on him.
“Hmm—”
"I'm sorry, are you okay?"
The man reacted and apologized quickly.
"……fine."
Li Ji didn't want to talk much with others. He frowned slightly and simply accepted the apology.
The man in front of him was wearing a high-end professional suit that outlined his broad shoulders and narrow waist. His face was handsome and cold, but with a hint of apology and worry. The eye sockets under his gold-rimmed glasses were a little dark. It was obvious that he had not slept well for several days and seemed to be relying on coffee to survive.
Neither of them was a very enthusiastic person and they missed each other easily. However, there were many people in the lounge and they sat at the same table by accident. Neither of them paid any attention to each other.
Yu Shiyun adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and drank a cup of coffee with trembling hands. With a handsome yet cold face, he picked up his phone again with an expressionless face, as if sending a message to someone. He cursed in a cold voice, "Asshole boss, if you don't come back, I'm going to die suddenly."
He didn't care that his boss knew about his rare outburst of "bastard", because his bastard boss didn't even read or reply to his messages.
Looking at the green WeChat chat interface with no replies, Yu Shiyun took a deep breath. Her voice, slightly hoarse with maturity, was a bit broken. She rubbed her temples and murmured softly, "I'm so devastated. I want to die... I hate that bastard boss so much."
Li Ji thought this man was strange, but still sneered, as if to hide his embarrassment, and asked him what was wrong.
Yu Shiyun seemed to have found an outlet for his anger. He looked up at Li Ji and asked, "Are you the new trainee?" He rubbed his head and said, "The bastard boss has been away for more than ten days, leaving all the work to me and Mr. Xiao Sheng. It's so painful. I want to die..."
He murmured in a low voice, saying it over and over again, emitting a thick gloom and coldness.
His words were totally inconsistent with his cold and noble appearance. His skin was cold and pale, and his face was gloomy with a hint of melancholy.
After a long time, he seemed to react.
"Sorry, I just lost my composure."
Yu Shiyun paused, adjusted his glasses, and his previous gloom faded. His expression was cold and noble. He extended his hand, "Hello, I'm the president's secretary, Yu Shiyun... Welcome to Huayun Entertainment."
"The coffee machine upstairs was broken, so I had to go to the trainee lounge to get some coffee. I'm sorry I bumped into you just now. I'm so glad you weren't hurt."
His words were polite yet distant. Even though he said that it was very nice, his eyes were colder than anyone else's.
Li Ji paused, shook hands with him, and exchanged names, "...Li Ji."
Li Ji didn't expect that as a leading company in the entertainment industry, its internal management was so chaotic, the president ran away, and the secretary just cursed the president. He raised his eyebrows slightly, watched Yu Shiyun finish her coffee and leave, lowered his head and sent a message to Sheng Zhao, complaining to her with interest about the person just now.
Sheng Zhao, who always replied to her immediately, rarely did so. Instead, he replied after a long while:
Hmm... What a weird person. It's best not to have anything to do with him. Stay away from him. After all, there are a lot of psychopaths in the world.
Sheng Zhao looked at what Li Ji had just complained about on WeChat, curled up on the sofa, and glanced at him with a rare guilty look.
That’s right, she didn’t go out to look for announcements as she said, because she had already arranged the next announcements. She also didn’t accompany Li Ji to the company, but just stayed at home.
She felt the warmth and leisure of the sofa, and then looked at the secretary's chat box that had been blocked for a long time and kept sending 99+ messages -
Boss, I only slept two hours yesterday.
Boss, when will you be back?
Boss, I’m so tired and there are so many documents.
Boss, I'm in so much pain.
Boss, I want to die...
Then came a dense stream of words that sounded like a breakdown, such as - Boss, when I die of exhaustion, you must burn down a house for me and my salary as well... and the compensation.
Boss, why don't you come back?
Boss, I want to die.
Boss, I want to die...
Sheng Zhao wrapped himself in the blanket tightly, feeling guilty. He pursed his lips and thought for a long time before carefully typing out a message and sending it over.
Don't die yet.
Yu Shiyun looked at the four simple words sent by her boss who had disappeared for more than ten days, and her heart finally died.
He looked up at Sheng Cehan, who was buried in a pile of documents, expressionlessly, his fingertips trembling slightly as he said to him, "Mr. Sheng, Mr. Sheng has been contacted."
Sheng Cehan suddenly looked up, his deeply furrowed brows relaxed for a moment, and his originally stern voice* was filled with emotion as he spoke hoarsely, "What did she say? Where is she? Is she coming back?"
He had been in a gloomy mood for the past few days, but now he is very excited after hearing the words "get in touch".
"...No." Yu Shiyun shook her head, her voice cold and calm, "Boss Sheng told me not to die yet."
Sheng Cehan paused, pursed his lips and rubbed his temples, then finally darkened his eyes, said nothing, and just lowered his head to continue looking at the documents.
Looking at Sheng Cehan's increasingly depressed mood and the increasing number of documents in the CEO's office, Yu Shiyun's cold eyes were filled with calmness. She then typed a line of words and sent it to Sheng Zhao -
Boss, I hate you.
