The boy was sitting on a small stool drinking water, Feng Chi was standing next to him, clinging to him tightly.
He seemed to sense something, leaning slightly forward and using the opportunity to speak to completely shield the boy from view.
The way she looked at Gu Xun was as if she wanted to devour him.
Yu Qing couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.
" A-Yu, look," Yu Qing tugged at Shen Yu's sleeve and whispered, " Feng Chi has run into a rival in love."
Shen Yu glanced at her before looking away, leading his wife onto the set to film, and muttered, "Jealous bastard."
Yu Qing chuckled and teased, "Are you talking about yourself?"
Shen Yu: "... If you say so, then so be it."
only--
Shen Yu thought, "Why does it feel less like jealousy and more like murder?"
Having just finished his work and even after being subjected to a couple of public displays of affection, Qu Feng remained silent for a moment before turning to his assistant, Meng Xiao, and saying, "I think it's time for me to go back."
Meng Xiao: "Huh?"
"With President Feng here, I, as his agent, can retire," Qu Feng said expressionlessly. "I still have company matters waiting for me to handle; I need to go back to work."
"Hey, Brother Qu... Brother Qu?"
Qu's manager is known for her remarkable efficiency. During a break in filming, she went over to her artist and said, "I'm going back first. I'll come back with them when the dating reality show filming starts. Remember to control your diet, don't eat spicy food during filming, and don't stay up late playing on your phone, or you'll get bloodshot eyes..."
Wen Jiu yawned.
Qu Feng: "Hmm?"
Wen Jiu: "Mmm!"
Qu Feng:...
"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on things." Feng Chi patted his wife's head, assuring her.
Qu Feng twitched his lips. "You're the one I worry about the most!"
Feng Daji the tyrant!
After another round of nagging, Qu Feng finally left, Wen Jiu secretly felt a surge of excitement.
Before the person had gone far, he suddenly jumped up. "Yay!"
Qu Feng: Hmm?
Feng Chi, both amused and exasperated, pressed the person back down to sit.
Seeing that the man seemed honest, Qu Feng left with some unease. As he walked away, he brushed past Gu Xun, his gaze unconsciously lingering on the other man.
They both glanced sideways.
In the exchange of glances, time seemed to slow down, and every minute detail was magnified infinitely.
After a moment, Qu Feng stopped.
In the depths of my hazy memory, images flicker and emerge one after another: the sound of a cell phone being switched off, the sound of traffic, and the sound of myself repeatedly dialing the phone, all blending together.
Then came the sudden, ear-piercing sound of tires screeching—
"Bang!"
"What's wrong with you?" Gu Xun's calm voice pulled him back to reality. Qu Feng was stunned and broke out in a cold sweat.
Gu Xun looked worried and kindly took his arm. "Are you alright?"
Qu Feng, pale-faced, brushed his hand away. "It's nothing, thank you."
"If you're not feeling well, it's best to go to the hospital to get checked out," Gu Xun politely reminded him. "Otherwise, Wen Jiu will worry."
Qu Feng nodded, but before leaving, he couldn't help asking, "Have I seen you somewhere before?"
"Oh? Really?" Gu Xun's words were flawless. "Have you seen my movies too?"
Knowing he couldn't get any information out of him, Qu Feng feigned politeness and exchanged a few pleasantries.
As they turned around, both of them stopped smiling.
Upon arriving at the parking lot, Qu Feng sat quietly on the steering wheel for a long time.
In his past life, he and Wen Jiu were recognized as the best duo across the entire internet.
A top celebrity and a top agent complement each other perfectly, a match jokingly referred to by netizens as a match made in heaven.
Perhaps his career has been too smooth, which has led to a lack of vigilance.
This led to irreversible consequences.
" Wen Jiu! Wen Jiu! Wen Jiu!..."
The cheers from the audience and fans were unified and resounding, the powerful sound traveling directly from the stage to the backstage dressing room.
Wen Jiu, dressed in a magnificent court performance costume, white with gold tassels, stood with his arms outstretched, letting the staff put a headset on him and fix the receiver.
At that moment, his cell phone rang, and Qu Feng went outside the lounge to answer it.
"Something urgent has come up at the company, I might have to head back first." After hanging up the phone, Qu Feng came in and said to Meng Xiao, "After Xiaojiu's performance, you and the bodyguard remember to escort him out the back door."
Meng Xiao nodded in agreement. "Don't worry, Brother Qu."
Wen Jiu turned her head, the tassels on her epaulettes swaying slightly with her movement.
He looked down to check the equipment and casually asked, " Brother Qu, what happened?"
His tone was so serious.
"Two artists under our company have gotten into trouble and are trending on social media." Not wanting to affect Wen Jiu's mood, Qu Feng didn't elaborate, saying, "Just focus on singing and don't look at your phone."
"The media might try to block the back door too, President Lin has already increased the number of bodyguards. Just remember, no matter what the reporters ask, remain silent."
Having been in the industry for so many years, Wen Jiu knew how to handle emergency public relations situations. He didn't ask any further questions and nodded seriously, "Understood."
"This has nothing to do with you. Just focus on your own business." Seeing the boy's serious expression, Qu Feng offered a few words of comfort before leaving, then casually changed the subject.
"Wishing Wen Xiaojiu all the best in completing yet another amazing stage performance."
Meng Xiao covered her mouth and chuckled softly; Brother Qu was coaxing a child again.
"Mmm!" This trick always worked on Wen Jiu. After saying that, the boy's peach blossom eyes lit up with laughter, his gaze sparkling. "Then I'll go!"
The boy's smile was dazzling, bright and full of vitality. As Qu Feng looked at it, the gloom in his heart was swept away.
A slight smile played at the corners of her lips, "Go."
Two of the company's top stars have been exposed for negative news: one has a chaotic private life, and the other has been accused of having sex-for-power deals with a sugar daddy. Both stars have a huge fan base, and the news has gone viral on social media.
The public relations department took emergency measures, but the heat of the incident could not be suppressed. Qu Feng then concluded that the conspiracy was aimed at Starlight Entertainment.
Having worked at Starlight Entertainment for so many years, Qu Feng had heard about the Lin Family's affairs.
However, this one wrong decision prevented Qu Feng from returning in time to deal with Wen Jiu's accident.
" Qu Feng, where are you now?" My boss called anxiously. "Don't come to the company, go back first! Go back to Wen Jiu's side and stay there!"
After a sharp slam on the brakes, Qu Feng came to an abrupt stop on the side of the road. " President Lin, what happened?"
This was the first time in all these years that Lin Changfeng had spoken to him in such an anxious tone. If Qu Feng didn't know that the other party already had someone he liked, he would almost have thought that he had taken Wen Jiu.
"They're after Wen Jiu," Lin Changfeng said. "Just now, a lot of negative news about him suddenly appeared online, and his popularity has surpassed that of Xu Zhe and Liu Xiao, with three of his hashtags going viral!"
Qu Feng's mind was in a whirl. He shook his head and calmed himself down, then jerked the steering wheel and pressed the accelerator harder and harder.
"I've already had it removed from the trending topics, but it won't last long."
"Get back as soon as possible and bring Wen Jiu back from the media unharmed." Lin Changfeng stood up, looked up at the sky through the French windows, his expression grave. "I'm counting on you."
"Know."
They had already traveled more than halfway, and Qu Feng's forehead was covered in a thin layer of sweat from the stress.
As if things weren't going to go wrong, Meng Xiao called right after Lin Changfeng hung up the phone.
Qu Feng's heart skipped a beat, and he swiped to answer, "What's wrong?"
" Brother Qu! Brother Qu, something terrible has happened!"
Meng Xiao's voice boomed through the phone receiver, hitting Qu Feng's ears, "Someone played an indecent video while Xiaojiu was singing, and now the audience is in an uproar..."
Qu Feng's pupils constricted sharply, and he almost lost his grip on the steering wheel!
The background noise from the other side was extremely loud, sounding like a complete mess. Meng Xiao had been with Wen Jiu's management team for so many years and had never experienced this level of Malice.
Her voice was urgent, already trembling with tears. "What should we do, Brother Qu? Xiaojiu is still upstairs..."
