Chapter 16: The iron tree blooms?
"I'm serious, this is the one, right?" Wu Xingyu has not given up the idea of signing Chu Yunshu.
"No." Ji Heng strode forward and refused firmly.
"Why?" Wu Xingyu didn't understand, and quickly caught up with him and walked side by side with him, "Do you have a grudge against him?"
If we were to ask who is the most humble and polite among the rich young men, it would definitely be Ji Heng.
Neither arrogant nor indifferent, and never look down on anyone because of their wealth or status. Although, his politeness and humility carry a sense of distance, and it is not easy to get close to him.
But he rarely expressed his likes and dislikes for a person so directly.
"He can't do it anyway." Ji Heng didn't want to explain.
Wu Xingyu kept pestering him: "But I like him. Such a rare talent will be exploited by Lin Yang sooner or later in the "Hegemony" crew... Wait, he won't have already..."
She is so beautiful and has such an extraordinary temperament. If Lin Yang didn't like her, he would be really blind.
"So this is why you didn't let me sign him?" Wu Xingyu suddenly realized, "That must be it!"
If there is anyone that Ji Heng clearly dislikes, it is definitely the type of people who want to take shortcuts by climbing into bed.
He seemed to hear the young man just now being called Chu Yunshu by the crew of "Hegemony". He should be such a person, otherwise Ji Heng would not have reacted like this.
"Wang Che, tell me, did Chu Yunshu climb into Lin Yang's bed?" Ji Heng already looked impatient, so Wu Xingyu simply turned around and asked Wang Che who had been following Ji Heng.
When it comes to gossip, Wang Che definitely knows more than Ji Heng.
"This... Actually, I'm not sure either." Speculations are speculations, and Wang Che never makes conclusions easily about things that have not been confirmed. "It's just that we saw him enter Lin Yang's room in the hotel that day."
Wu Xingyu knew there was more to come, so he asked Wang Che to continue, "And then?"
"But he was standing at the door of the room when Lin Yang pulled him in." Wang Che had a very good impression of Chu Yunshu because of his heroic appearance just now, so his words were meant to "exonerate" Chu Yunshu.
"I heard that there is a new favorite of Lin Yang in the crew of Hegemony. He is very arrogant and domineering. He added and changed the scenes and even ignored the director. He also snatched the role of Zhou Jin, the fourth male character who is very popular with readers in the original novel, the role of the beautiful woman."
Wang Che looked at Ji Heng who was walking in front of him, and seeing that he didn't react, he continued to say to Wu Xingyu: "At first I did think that this person was Chu Yunshu. After all, he is so handsome, there is no reason why Lin Yang would not like him."
"But I just discovered that he is playing a very pure villain in the book - the tyrant, not Zhou Jin. From this, I can infer that he is not the person that was previously rumored."
Ji Heng's footsteps suddenly paused, very briefly, so briefly that neither Wu Xingyu nor Wang Che noticed.
They came to a small building at the racecourse and walked straight in.
The staff inside had been notified in advance and were already waiting there.
But Ji Heng did not take the shuttle bus to the back mountain as usual. Instead, he walked to the sofa in the hall and sat down. His face was cold and his voice was even colder: "Let Xue Zhen come to see me."
Xue Zhen is the general manager of the horse farm and is responsible for all matters big and small.
When the deputy manager heard this, he immediately called Xue Zhen, but no one answered.
"Second Young Master, Manager Xue knew you were coming today, so he went to the back hill early in the morning. I'll have someone go and call him now."
While he was talking, the staff had already brought the fruit plate and coffee. Ji Heng did not move, but Wu Xingyu sat next to Ji Heng and started eating as if no one was around.
The deputy manager and his men stood outside. Ji Heng didn't like being surrounded and served by others. When I come to the horse farm, I like to stay alone and quiet.
But he was destined not to have a peaceful day today.
"Ji Heng, did you listen to what Wang Che said? Chu Yunshu might not be who you think he is." Even eating couldn't stop Wu Xingyu's mouth.
"You know who Lin Yang is. Chu Yunshu is so pretty, he will definitely not let her go. Even if Chu Yunshu really slept with Lin Yang, it is very likely that Lin Yang forced her to do so."
"So what?" Ji Heng asked back.
Wu Xingyu threw away the fruit fork and leaned on the sofa with his legs crossed: "Second Master Ji, this is not right. If he is not that kind of person, you should not be prejudiced against him."
"Since there should be no prejudice against him, then there should be no stopping me from signing him to the studio."
It is true that Chu Yunshu is very good-looking and his temperament is rare in the circle, but that is not enough to make Wu Xingyu so determined to have him.
Ji Heng looked at Wu Xingyu suspiciously: "Are you also attracted to him?"
Wu Xingyu's eyes lit up: "Also?"
He always finds strange highlights: "You mean, you like him?"
He was sure that the "like" that Ji Heng mentioned was definitely different from the like that he wanted to have when signing Chu Yunshu.
He was attracted to Chu Yunshu, but not in the sexual sense.
But Ji Heng may not be the case...
Not caring about being misunderstood by Ji Heng, he put down his crossed legs, leaned forward towards Ji Heng, and raised his eyebrows frivolously: "What's going on? Our always pure-hearted Ji Second Young Master has finally been tempted by worldly desires. Is the old iron tree about to bloom?"
Wang Che moved slowly towards the door at a snail's pace that was barely noticeable to others.
He thought that if Ji Heng made a move later, he would have to get away quickly.
After so many years, he felt that Ji Heng finally couldn't stand Wu Xingyu's mouth anymore.
Wu Xingyu, who was annoying but unaware of it, had no self-awareness at all and kept on talking: "So you really like men? Is what the outside world says true?"
Most of the rich young men like Ji Heng have a lot of fun, regardless of gender. But when it comes to talking about marriage, 99% of people will choose to marry a woman.
Playing is one thing, but continuing the family line cannot be delayed.
Therefore, many people wanted to marry into the Ji family over the years, and many sent their daughters and nieces to the brothers Ji Heng and Ji Chen, but the two brothers just couldn't settle down.
Ji Chen is a little better. He knows how to socialize and handle things, and occasionally brings a female companion to parties. Ji Heng doesn't manage the company, so he doesn't need to be like Ji Chen, who usually refuses in a very polite but straightforward manner.
Even to certain occasions where conventions required a female companion, he would not bring one.
When a person's status reaches a certain level, his unsociability and eccentricity will become a personality trait that is admired by others and will not be despised or criticized.
Over time, both the entertainment industry and the wealthy circles have been spreading rumors that Actor Ji is likely to like men. But there hasn't been any man he's close to in these years. Therefore, for a period of time, his assistant Wang Che, driver Zheng Jin and even his agent Wu Xingyu were all suspected.
But no matter what the outside world said, Ji Heng ignored it and focused on filming. Although he has assets worth hundreds of billions, he still works diligently, wins numerous awards, and stays on the crew all year round.
Whether with men or women, there is no scandal at all.
As an agent, Wu Xingyu is of course happy to see it happen, but as a friend, he can't help but worry about Ji Heng.
He is so indifferent. Once he has had enough of acting, he will probably become a monk, right?
But now, his worries disappeared.
Chu Yunshu, a man who causes Ji Heng, who is as steady as an old dog, to have emotional fluctuations, is quite interesting.
