The director received numerous abusive private messages backstage.
In just a few hours, I experienced a significant amount of cyberbullying, which made me quite angry.
But when I thought about how Qin Xu was all alone in bed after coming out of the operating room, with no family members by his side, I could only feel sympathy.
He learned some information from Qin Xu's assistant.
Knowing that Qin Xu came from an orphanage and was adopted by Qin Yue's family when he was a child, but for some reason they broke up, Qin Xu stopped eating and sleeping properly, and kept putting off his illnesses, which made his health so bad.
Sigh, what a fine young man tormented himself like this, why did he have to do it?
The assistant stayed behind to keep watch.
The next morning, I went to eat outside the hospital. After finishing breakfast, I had just entered the hospital's inpatient lobby when I received a call from my agent.
After picking up the agent, he led the person into the ward.
Qin Xu was already awake. Hearing someone come in, he immediately turned his head to look. When he saw that it was his assistant and agent, he lowered his eyes in disappointment, his long eyelashes covering the darkness in his eyes.
The assistant tiptoed to the bedside and whispered to Qin Xu, "Brother Xu, the doctor said you need to fast for two days. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
His bloodless lips moved slightly: "Has she arrived?"
Both of them knew who she was.
The assistant looked to the agent for help.
The agent coldly shattered his illusion: "No! Xiao Zhang was with you from beginning to end. He even signed the surgical consent form. Your beloved family and sister didn't even go to the hospital. Qin Xu, do you have to dwell on the past? Wake up! She has nothing to do with you! Do you really want to ruin yourself for someone who doesn't love you?"
Wake up?
Ha, isn't he clear-headed enough?
He always knew what he wanted; he could lose his career, lose everything, but he couldn't lose her!
For so many years, he has worked hard to climb up the ladder, striving to stand at a height that everyone looks up to, all for her, and even more so so that she can see him and that he can be worthy of her.
If he loses her, what's the point of all his years of devotion?
He still can't understand why things ended up like this between them.
He did everything he could, so why couldn't he make amends?
"Shut up!" Qin Xu's eyes were bloodshot as he squeezed out the three words through gritted teeth.
The assistant was startled by his trembling body and rapid breathing.
He quickly went to persuade Dong Linye: "Brother Dong, why don't we wait until he's better before saying these things?"
Qin Xu was an artist personally trained by Dong Linye.
It's half of the company's cash cow.
His current position as an agent in the company is also due to Qin Xu's considerable value.
Dong Linye was more afraid of something happening to him than anyone else.
"I was just so worried about you that I said some things without thinking, please don't take it to heart. There's all sorts of speculation online about your hospitalization, so please let everyone know you're safe and sound, and I'll explain later using my own account." He took a deep breath and calmed his tone, saying, "Xiao Zhang, where's his phone?"
If he hadn't refused to hand over his account to the company, I would have logged in with his account to explain myself long ago.
The assistant took Qin Xu's phone out of his bag and handed it to Qin Xu, wanting him to unlock it.
Qin Xu did not answer.
Lying in bed, head turned to the other side, tears silently streamed down my cheeks and into the pillow.
Assistant Zhang and Dong Linye exchanged a glance.
What should I do if my assistant's eyes are filled with questions?
What else could be done? He was unwilling to cooperate, so only his agent could step in.
"As for filming, the company will communicate with the director team, so there's no need to put too much pressure on yourself."
Filming was suspended due to the landslide, and since Qin Xu had indeed drunk too much at the dinner hosted by the director, the director dared not say anything.
If all else fails, the director and screenwriters will have to revise the script and increase the second male lead's screen time. Fortunately, the second male lead is also an employee of the company.
He instructed his assistant: "Stay close to him these next few days, make sure he gets enough rest and takes good care of his health."
The assistant nodded and said okay.
The agent sighed almost inaudibly, "Perhaps we shouldn't have let your sister participate in that dating reality show in the first place."
He was just making a casual remark.
What was said without malice may have been taken to heart by the listener.
Qin Xu's body suddenly stiffened.
That's right.
His relationship with Qin Yue gradually developed to where it is today after they participated in a variety show.
When she first came back, she still cared about her younger brother.
It's all because of participating in this variety show.
It was all because I met Jiang Qingtang on the show.
If Jiang Qingtang hadn't said those things, he wouldn't have misunderstood that her participation in the program was for ulterior motives, and he wouldn't have said hurtful things to her, and she wouldn't have been disappointed in him.
"Get some rest," the agent said, patting Xiao Zhang on the shoulder and gesturing for him to come out with him.
The two had only taken two steps when they heard a soft but firm voice behind them: "I want to quit the entertainment industry."
Dong Linye suspected he was hallucinating.
He turned around and stared at Qin Xu in disbelief: "What did you say?!"
"I want to retire from the entertainment industry."
If his seemingly glamorous celebrity status meant losing Qin Yue, he would rather give up that status and still be Qin Xu, the adopted son of the Qin family who would always obey her and follow her around.
The agent was so angry he almost flew to the sky.
He suppressed the urge to curse and pointed at Xiao Zhang, saying, "Go and guard the door."
After Xiao Zhang closed the ward door, he asked, "When you had your surgery, did the doctors remove your brain? Do you know what you're saying?"
"I told them I wanted to leave the entertainment industry."
Qin Xu repeated himself like a broken record.
"You fucking..." The curse was on the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed it back when he saw Jiang Qingtang's pale face. "You want to be like Jiang Qingtang?"
He didn't want to hear that name.
If he hadn't posted those things online, he would never have misunderstood her.
It's all because of Jiang Qingtang, Qi Jingchen, his current agent, and those netizens online who only know how to hurl insults that he's ended up like this.
"I am not her, and I don't want to imitate anyone. I don't want to act anymore."
"Yes, you're not her, you're not even as good as him. Why do you think the company let Jiang Qingtang leave so easily? Was it because she was pregnant? Or because she was embroiled in negative news?"
Qin Xu did not respond.
He didn't want to know.
The agent continued, "The company agreed to terminate the contract because she is the heir of the Qi family. The company released her without hesitation because of the Qi family's influence."
In addition, she has only just entered the second tier, has few endorsements, and has not yet started filming any dramas she has signed, so she will not cause too much loss to the company.
And you? You know perfectly well how many endorsements you have. This drama is only halfway through filming, and the company has poured so much money into you. Do you think you can just terminate the contract like that?
