Chapter 53
"What are you looking at?"
When Xie Changshi walked into the living room with the grapes that Rong Jing liked to eat, he saw Rong Jing supporting his face with both hands and a serious look on his face, which made him feel surprised.
Hearing his voice, Rong Jing quickly got up from the sofa, sat cross-legged, then grabbed the corner of the man's clothes with one hand and forced him to sit next to her, and handed him the phone.
Rong Jing's people also came over and pointed at the news.
The news, published by the Yancheng Daily, detailed how Wang Zhiguo, the principal of Yancheng No. 3 High School, had hanged himself in his office the previous night. This morning, a teacher in the same office opened the door and witnessed the scene. They were so shocked that their legs gave way and they collapsed to the floor. Frantically, they called the police.
Upon arrival, the police quickly discovered a sealed letter on Wang Zhiguo's desk. After careful comparison, they confirmed the handwriting on the letter was indeed Wang Zhiguo's. They then discovered a locked hard drive on Wang Zhiguo's computer. The hard drive contained numerous videos of him forcing himself on girls. To protect the girls, the police had deleted all of the videos.
Xie Changshi frowned slightly after reading the news.
He had been in Yancheng for many years, so he naturally knew that Yancheng No. 3 High School was one of the best high schools in Yancheng. It was usually very famous, and all kinds of awards were in its hands without any cost. However, he did not expect that although it looked glamorous on the surface, there were actually scum hidden behind it.
He pointed at Wang Zhiguo and asked, "Would a person like this commit suicide?"
Rong Jing rubbed his cheeks and replied, "He didn't commit suicide. He was killed by an evil spirit that the students summoned through a spirit-summoning ritual."
Rong Jing thought of Hu Xiu again.
He muttered to himself, "But that evil spirit seems pretty good. I didn't sense its presence on that student. If nothing unexpected happened, it should have helped that student fulfill his wish and left without staying here."
Rong Jing had also heard about this kind of thing from Xue Cang.
Not all ghosts summoned through the summoning ritual are dangerous. Like Si Liu, several ghosts use the students' summoning ritual to escape the cage that trapped them and fulfill the students' wishes in return.
But this situation is very rare.
But Hu Xiu estimated that this was the case.
Rong Jing took another look at the news and continued, "That evil ghost didn't eat Wang Zhiguo either. He probably despised him."
But the amulet he left for Hu Xiu would burn Wang Zhiguo's ghost to ashes in a few days. At that time, Wang Zhiguo would not be able to enter the underworld, nor would he be able to reincarnate, and would completely disappear from the world.
Now that the matter had come to an end, Rong Jing stopped paying attention. He picked up the grapes from the plate and stuffed them into his mouth one by one. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a man leaning on the sofa next to him, looking down at the financial news on his phone. On a whim, he peeled a grape and offered it to the man's lips.
Xie Changshi's fingers that were sliding across the screen paused slightly, then he opened his mouth and took a bite of the grape.
Rong Jing became interested and peeled most of the grapes in the plate with great effort and fed them all to Xie Changshi.
He seemed to understand why Xie Changshi liked to feed him.
It's quite interesting.
There was only one grape left on the plate. Rong Jing peeled it and passed it to Xie Changshi's mouth, but this time, Xie Changshi bit Rong Jing's fingertips when he bit the grape.
Rong Jing thought he did it unintentionally and reminded him, "You bit my finger," but Xie Changshi did not let go.
Turning his head, he saw the man looking at him leisurely. When their eyes met, his eyebrows raised slightly, and he casually rolled the tip of his tongue to lick the boy's fingertips stained with grape juice. The soft and warm touch scared Rong Jing so much that his fingertips shrank slightly and his face turned red.
He immediately accused Xie Changshi: "I fed you grapes, why are you acting like a hooligan?"
Mr. Xie's mouth wasn't long for nothing. He swallowed the grape and said, "I can't help it."
Rong Jing: “…”
The young man was speechless for a moment, but Xie Changshi continued, "So sweet."
I don’t know whether he is saying that the grapes are sweeter or Rong Jing’s fingers are sweeter.
But Rong Jing's face became even redder.
When he gets shy, he likes to get angry and walk away with the plate.
Xie Changshi found it funny and followed him. As a result, he was pushed back to his room by Rong Jing. Rong Jing stood at the door, slammed the door shut, and shouted through the door: "Go to bed early, be careful of baldness."
Xie Changshi raised his hand and touched his hair.
I feel that Rong Jing's worries are a bit unnecessary.
Rong Jing returned to the room, washed up, rolled up in the quilt, yawned, and fell asleep.
The next morning, he received a WeChat message from Song Zhiye.
To be precise, this message was sent by Song Zhiye at 3:30 in the morning. It can be seen that he really wanted his ex-boyfriend to die soon and didn't want to waste any time.
Song Zhiye: Master! I've already heard that the roadshow for Xiao Sheng's film has been confirmed, a day earlier, for next Tuesday. But Xiao Sheng seems to have known I was asking about this and didn't give me a chance. I might not be able to get into the roadshow. / Grief and indignation
Song Zhiye: Master, do you mind waiting outside when the time comes?
Rong Jing didn't mind. He asked: Which cinema?
Song Zhiye: Hengya Cinema in Lincheng District.
Hengya Cinema?
Rong Jing felt that the name sounded familiar, and after thinking about it, he suddenly understood.
Hengya Cinema is actually a cinema owned by Hengya Shopping Mall, which is owned by the Xie family.
Rong Jing blinked, replied "Wait a moment" to Song Zhiye, then quickly brushed his teeth, washed his face, and opened the door. He hadn't gotten up early today, and according to Xie Changshi's usual routine, he'd already returned from his morning run. Sure enough, as soon as he pushed the door open, he saw Xie Changshi taking off his T-shirt and walking towards the bedroom.
All the words Rong Jing wanted to say were suddenly stuck in his throat.
Xie Changshi obviously didn't expect Rong Jing to push the door open so hastily. He lowered his eyes to look at himself and said with a half-smile, "Today is not a day for seduction."
Rong Jing made a face at him and urged him: "Go take a shower first, I'll ask you something later."
"good."
The man turned and walked into the bedroom, while Rong Jing stayed where she was, recalling Xie Changshi's figure. The more she looked at him, the more she wanted to see him.
He lifted up his clothes and looked at his stomach, and he also had abdominal muscles.
But compared with Xie Changshi, it seems to be quite different.
Xie Changshi took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and quickly returned to the living room. When he walked around the living room to the kitchen, he saw Rong Jing standing in front of the oven waiting for his little buns. He couldn't help but smile, walked over and rubbed his head with his hand: "You've been so good today, you even steamed buns for yourself?"
Rong Jing glanced at him: "You made it seem like I'm usually lazy."
But as soon as he said that, he felt a little guilty.
Just then, the oven made a dinging sound. He opened the door, pulled Xie Changshi aside and said, "Two of them are yours."
Xie Changshi stood aside and stared at the two buns without moving. He only asked Rong Jing, "Do you need my help with something?"
Rong Jing: "...Am I so obvious?"
"It's quite obvious." Xie Changshi said honestly, and added, "Actually, it would be better to ask me for help in other ways."
Rong Jing asked politely, "For example?"
Xie Changshi: "Invite me to sleep with you in bed."
Rong Jing: “…”
He took away the four small buns and snorted coldly: "Eat it if you want."
Then, without looking back, he walked towards the restaurant, his thin figure vividly depicting the words "annoyed." Xie Changshi, however, remained unfazed. He simply stood there with his eyes lowered and smiled. Only after he had smiled enough did he carry the finished coffee over to the restaurant.
When they sat down at the dining table, Xie Changshi picked up his chopsticks and pretended to reach into the plate of buns. Seeing this, Rong Jing immediately moved the plate towards her.
Xie Changshi put down his chopsticks and uttered a soft sigh, "It seems that this little zombie isn't very sincere in asking me to do something for him."
Rong Jing: “…”
After his name was called, he could only push the plate back over and said, "It's all yours."
"One is enough for me." Xie Changshi didn't like eating this bun very much. The reason they had this breakfast at home was purely because Rong Jing liked it. When Rong Jing lived with him in a tube-shaped building as a child, he liked to eat this kind of bun with a cute appearance and custard filling inside. Even though he had been lying in a coffin for twelve years, his hobby had not changed.
He ate this one today just to tease people.
After eating the buns, Xie Changshi asked him, "What do you want me to do?"
Rong Jing immediately shared his desire to attend Xiao Sheng's new film roadshow. He kept secrets like his agreement with Song Zhiye secret from Xie Changshi. After all, he and Song Zhiye had signed a confidentiality agreement, and he had to abide by it. Even without him saying anything, Xie Changshi could still guess that yesterday's confidentiality agreement, as well as Rong Jing's sudden interest in a celebrity, were somehow related to a client's request.
Thinking of this, he nodded: "I'll ask Special Assistant Song to contact the staff later."
Rong Jing's eyes suddenly lit up and he nodded repeatedly.
After dinner, Rong Jing and Xie Changshi went to their respective workplaces as usual.
As soon as Rong Jing walked through the door, he received a message from Special Assistant Song, telling him that the matter had been settled and that he and Song Zhiye could go to Hengya Cinema together on Tuesday. Rong Jing thanked him and immediately forwarded the message to Song Zhiye.
Song Zhiye: “!”
How come Rong Jing, a master of fortune-telling and ghost-catching, has more connections in the entertainment industry than him?!
Is this reasonable?!
But no matter how unreasonable it is, as long as the result is good, it's fine.
Today was Friday, and Song Zhiye had been feeling restless all day, wondering how time was passing so slowly, with four days still to go until Tuesday. Especially since Xiao Sheng's new movie had already been released today, and it was doing so well, with pre-sales and today's box office takings exceeding 300 million yuan. It was truly a sight to behold.
Seeing him like this, the manager couldn't help but twitch his lips and suggested, "How about I find some online trolls to scold Xiao Sheng?"
Song Zhiye waved his hand: "Come on, if you keep scolding me, I'll get into trouble."
After hearing what he said, the agent thought of Zhang Chao.
Zhang Chao was the actor who had previously competed with Xiao Sheng for a role and ended up getting hit by a car and breaking his leg. Although there was no evidence to prove Xiao Sheng was responsible, Zhang Chao subconsciously held a grudge against him. After all, coincidences were rare. Just as news broke that directors and investors were interested in him, he was hit by a car, and then the role went to Xiao Sheng, catapulting him to fame overnight.
No matter how Zhang Chao consoled himself, it was useless. He was just so angry that he hired a lot of marketing accounts and internet trolls to stir up trouble and expose all kinds of negative information about Xiao Sheng.
Song Zhiye and his agent have looked at it and found that most of the negative information is true.
But the weird thing is that Xiao Sheng, who was exposed for his negative material, got nothing wrong, but Zhang Chao was dug out and hired internet trolls, and was suspected of holding a grudge against Xiao Sheng, so his reputation became much worse.
Later, there were some people who had the same idea as Zhang Chao, who wanted to discredit Xiao Sheng but ended up getting themselves into trouble.
Thinking of this, the agent couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed: "Xiao Sheng is really lucky. He can't be like what the fans online say, that he is the chosen male lead and is destined to be a big star in the entertainment industry in this life, right?"
Damn the chosen male protagonist.
Song Zhiye rolled his eyes, thinking that these brainless fans were simply insulting the words "chosen male lead".
Then he repeated what he had heard from Kan Yingqiu: "I heard before that he seemed to have gone to Gaoyun."
Gao Zhen?
As an insider, the agent was well-known for Gao Yun. It was said that there was a famous master in Gao Yun, located in southeastern China, who was known for changing people's fates. Many years ago, several celebrities went to this master to ask for statues of gods, hoping to bless their careers in the entertainment industry.
only……
"Didn't the news say that the master was exposed as a fraud? The police raided his lair and accused him of being a liar."
Song Zhiye had also seen this news. He shook his head and said, "I don't know, but it's true that Xiao Sheng went to Gao Yun. However, it was quite a while ago, when he and I were dating."
When it comes to the word "falling in love", Song Zhiye feels sick.
It’s not good to meet someone who is too amazing when you are young, and it’s even worse to meet someone who is too disgusting.
The former will amaze you for a lifetime, while the latter will disgust you for a lifetime.
Song Zhiye suddenly lost interest in continuing to talk about Xiao Sheng and continued to wait dryly for Tuesday to come.
…
Tuesday.
Song Zhiye waited for four days and finally Tuesday came.
He wiped his eyes with emotion and drove to Rong Jing's studio at the appointed time. He arrived early and Rong Jing had a customer, so he simply wrapped himself up tightly and pushed open the door and walked out.
There were only two assistants in the waiting room at this moment.
Yan Yingyao glanced at Song Zhiye out of the corner of his eye and said nothing.
However, Nie Liu passed by Song Zhiye and said, "You acted very well."
Song Zhiye: “?!”
There was fear in his eyes beneath his sunglasses. He didn't expect Nie Liu to recognize him.
Nie Liu smiled and explained, showing off his big white teeth: "I have a cousin who is a die-hard fan of yours. She even asked me to buy your magazine."
It was a coincidence that Nie Liu was drinking with Yan Yingyao that day and was talking about Song Zhiye's tightly wrapped appearance. He even had a photo in his hand, and Nie Liu's sister happened to see it. Fans are crazy fans who can recognize their idols just by looking at their hands, and Nie Liu's sister is no exception.
When Nie Liu heard that Song Zhiye was a star, he suddenly felt that his strange behavior, which had been hidden so tightly, became much more normal.
When they met again today, Nie Liu became interested: "Brother, give me an autograph. I'll go back and make some money for my sister."
Song Zhiye had already learned the identities of these two assistants from his agent. They were people who must not be offended. Therefore, he did not make up stories and said that Nie Liu had recognized the wrong people. He quickly nodded in agreement.
After leaving an autographed photo, Rong Jing sent the last customer away. He said to his two assistants, "Get off work."
However, the two young assistants stared at Rong Jing without saying a word.
Rong Jing: “…”
Rong Jing turned to look at Song Zhiye and asked, "Do you mind taking them along?"
Song Zhiye waved his hand: "I don't mind."
Anyway, I'm just going to see a roadshow today.
Besides, he didn't fight for the qualification to enter, so Rong Jing didn't need his consent if he wanted to bring a few more people.
Seeing that Song Zhiye had no intention of rejecting him, Rong Jing didn't say much and invited them to go together. He had previously said that he would take Yan Yingyao to catch ghosts when he had the chance, but this thing had never been carried out, so today he would let Yan Yingyao join in the fun.
Yan Yingyao and Nie Liu exchanged a glance, clapped their hands, and then said, "That's perfect. We'll be the drivers. But where are you going?"
Rong Jing: "...Let's go to the Hengya Shopping Center in Lincheng District to watch a movie."
"Watching a movie? I love watching movies the most. Let's go, let's go." Nie Liu urged immediately.
So, Rong Jing and Song Zhiye got into the cars of their two assistants respectively, left Changhua Street, and arrived at Hengya Shopping Mall.
There are a lot of people in Hengya Shopping Mall today. I think many fans of Xiao Sheng and other actors have received the message. Although they cannot get the movie show at this roadshow, they pray that they can see their idol in person before he leaves.
There were many cars entering the underground parking lot, and the two luxury cars were parked there waiting carelessly, attracting many people's attention.
Song Zhiye couldn't help but touch his face, trying to hide better.
Nie Liu glanced at him and said, "You feel guilty."
Song Zhiye thought to himself that he didn't want to feel guilty, but: "Sixth Master Nie, your car is too conspicuous."
Nie Liu spread his hands and said innocently, "That can't be helped. This is just my style."
Song Zhiye: “…”
Fortunately, order in the mall was well maintained, and the two cars quickly followed the flow of traffic into the parking lot, and took a special elevator directly to the eighth floor of the mall and into the cinema.
The person in charge of the cinema had received a message from Song Qing before, and was particularly interested in Rong Jing who was coming today.
He had worked here for many years and had never received a call from the Xie family, let alone that this call was from Song Qing, who was close to Xie Changshi.
No matter how you look at it, you can't just take it lightly.
When he saw Rong Jing and his group, his eyes lit up and he immediately went to meet them.
And at this moment, in the nanny car.
Feeling a little dizzy, Xiao Sheng rubbed his brow and looked out the window. He couldn't help but squint his eyes, not knowing what he saw. His agent was talking to him, but after a while, he couldn't hear the voice and felt strange. He turned his head and saw his eyes and expression, and asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"
Xiao Sheng turned around, revealing a handsome face.
To be fair, he does look good, he's a tough guy, and he looks very upright, which makes it easy for him to attract people's favor at first glance.
He said to his agent, "I think I saw Song Zhiye."
Song Zhiye?
The agent frowned in disgust the moment he heard the name.
He said, "You must have seen it wrong. You didn't get enough sleep last night, so you haven't recovered from your sleep yet, right?"
After a pause, he explained, "I heard he sent someone to the roadshow here, but was turned down by the people I arranged. How could he have squeezed in? I think we should have dealt with Song Zhiye when we dealt with Pan Pan, so he wouldn't be constantly thinking about pulling you down."
Xiao Sheng twitched his lips when he heard this.
I thought, doesn’t he want to?
He and Song Zhiye had been together for several years, and Song Zhiye knew him inside and out. He knew everything he had done. It was thanks to his quick reaction and Master Geng's skill that he was able to do this.
But Master Geng also said that Song Zhiye's fate can bless him and allow him to continue to be popular in the entertainment industry.
That's why he resisted the urge to do it.
However, according to the current situation, it doesn't matter if Song Zhiye is alive. After all, Song Zhiye has no evidence in his hands and cannot cause any substantial harm to him.
I can only feel disgusted with him normally.
Thinking of this, he exhaled and said, "Then I must have seen it wrong. Song Zhiye doesn't have the ability to let others open a backdoor for him now."
"Of course not." The agent laughed triumphantly and patted Xiao Sheng's shoulder vigorously. "You think everyone else is you, but now you are the darling of capital."
Xiao Sheng smiled.
Seeing this, the agent couldn't help but quietly tell him a piece of good news: "By the way, I also heard something that will definitely be good for you."
His mysterious look aroused Xiao Sheng's interest, and Xiao Sheng asked curiously, "What's the matter?"
"Last week, one of the studio's managers called me and said someone from Xie's would be participating in this roadshow," the agent lamented. "I'm not entirely sure who they are, but the person who contacted the general manager was Xie's president's special assistant, so I assume they have some status."
Xie family?
Just hearing these two words, Xiao Sheng's mind began to waver.
Who doesn't know Xie's these days? It's a shame their president is so elusive, and the occasional charity events he attends are often attended by Xie's vice president, Lu Yunji.
Lu Yunji is a smiling fox. He smiles on the surface but is cruel and ruthless behind the scenes. No one can get close to him.
Xiao Sheng and Lu Yunji had met several times, and he was even brought by Capital to greet Lu Yunji at a charity banquet. He wanted to get closer to Lu Yunji, but Lu Yunji really didn't give him face. He looked at him as if he was an ant, as if he didn't take him seriously at all.
Xiao Sheng has been doing very well in the past two years, and has been praised by fans and investors to the point of being praised to the sky. When he suddenly saw Lu Yunji's attitude, he was filled with anger.
But there is nothing I can do.
If I could connect with Xie's connections today by participating in this roadshow, I would be so lucky.
Thinking of this, Xiao Sheng's heart beat faster.
The agent knew what he was thinking as soon as he saw his expression. He said to Xiao Sheng, "I've thought about it carefully. Since he came specifically for you, he must be a young man. And since he can trouble Xie's special assistant, he must be of high status. So, he is most likely the daughter or son of an executive."
Xiao Sheng thought so too.
The agent continued, "I'll ask the person in charge later to clarify things. Then, during the Q&A session of the roadshow, you can ask the other person to stand up and answer questions. Give him some courtesy. I'll arrange for you to contact each other after the roadshow is over. I don't have anything to do tonight, so we can have dinner together to get closer. What do you think?"
Xiao Sheng thought his agent's arrangement was very good, so he nodded and said, "I'll do as you say."
The agent sighed repeatedly, "I have a feeling you're going to take another step forward soon. That's when you'll really explode in popularity, and everyone will have to look to us for direction."
Xiao Sheng smiled and said nothing, but the expression on his face clearly showed that he shared the same idea as his agent.
