Looking at the person's not-so-good expression, Wang Cheng raised his hand and patted his shoulder. "But it's okay; they're about to get a divorce."
Fu Xingyun:...
The man lowered his eyes, giving him a glance. "Are you Lin Qiong's agent?"
For some reason, Wang Cheng shivered after hearing the man's words. "Yes."
Fu Xingyun glanced at him a few more times before turning away.
Wang Cheng didn't know how to feel about the man and just stared at his departing figure.
Such proportions, nine-head tall, with the addition of a commanding presence. If he was signed as an actor, he would definitely become extremely popular.
The man's figure disappeared down the corridor, and Wang Cheng pushed open the door to the resting room.
----
Fu Xingyun walked forward with a dark face, his hands clenched into fists. He hadn't expected Lin Qiong to talk about him like this behind his back.
Old pervert?
He really could come up with anything.
The man felt like his heart and lungs were about to explode, his eyes showing a terrifying glint. For a moment, he felt the urge to smash something.
"Hey!"
His shoulder was lightly tapped, and Fu Xingyun turned around, meeting a brightly colored face.
Li Lin didn't expect to meet him here. Although the person wasn't very nice and lacked manners, Li Lin didn't have many friends since he started part-time work here. Meeting someone familiar felt particularly warm and friendly.
Li Lin stood in front of the person, smiling and greeting, "Long time no see. Didn't expect to meet you here."
The young man smiled brightly, his mouth filled with excitement and warmth that couldn't be concealed, his eyes fixed on the other person.
Fu Xingyun looked at him with a frown.
Li Lin frowned as well, "Why do you have this expression?"
After looking at the person for a while, Fu Xingyun asked, "Who are you?"
Li Lin: ...
Damn! He actually forgot him.
Fu Xingyun didn't feel like communicating with people right now and continued walking.
"Hey! Why are you leaving?!" Li Lin hurriedly caught up.
But the other person had long legs and took large steps, making it hard for him to keep up. He had to run beside him, saying, "It doesn't matter if you don't remember me. After all, you weren't polite to begin with. But I can be your friend and teach you how to treat people."
Seeing that the person didn't look at him, Li Lin introduced himself, "My name is Li Lin."
Fu Xingyun, who was suppressing his anger, was annoyed by the constant annoyance. "I don't care what you're name is."
Li Lin: ...
This was exactly the same as the first time they met.
History will always repeat itself.
Seeing the person's impatient mood, Li Lin, like the little sun, was willing to help. "Are you unhappy? If you have anything on your mind, you can tell me. I can listen to your heart, help you sort out your troubles, and ease your difficulties."
Speaking with sincere eyes, "I can be a listener for you."
The other person was like a little bird chirping in his ear non-stop. Fu Xingyun finally stopped and turned to look at him.
Li Lin immediately showed a gentle smile on his face.
Fu Xingyun: "Can you stay away from me?"
Li Lin was a little stunned, "Huh?"
The man repeated, "Stay away from me!"
Li Lin felt a bit embarrassed hearing this but still spoke, "Can I be your friend then?"
For some reason, he urgently wanted to get to know this person.
"No."
Li Lin persisted, "I've said it before, I can help you with your troubles."
Fu Xingyun: "Stay away from me, that's helping with my troubles."
Li Lin: ...
Great.
Seeing the consecutive rejections from the man, Li Lin realized that he was inviting trouble and didn't follow him when he left.
But he genuinely believed that he could change the other person.
----
When Wang Cheng entered, Lin Qiong was still curled up on the sofa, deeply asleep. He didn't know what he had done last night to end up so exhausted.
Half an hour before the event started, Wang Cheng approached, intending to wake him up.
He patted Lin Qiong's shoulder a few times, "Lin Qiong, wake up."
But the other party slept soundly, showing no response.
Wang Cheng took a deep breath and tapped him again, "Lin Qiong, wake up."
"..."
Seeing that there was still no reaction, Wang Cheng deeply looked at him, "Lin Qiong, you dropped some money."
Lin Qiong suddenly turned his head, half-asleep, and asked, "Where did I drop it?"
"..."
Wang Cheng was momentarily speechless and then pulled him up, "Hurry up, get ready. The event will start soon."
Lin Qiong nodded and sat up, showing no signs of nervousness.
Wang Cheng reminded, "The investors are here today. Behave well, don't make any mistakes."
Lin Qiong waved his hand, "No worries, I handle things well."
"Why do you think I tell you all this?"
"..."
Lin Qiong raised his hand, "You don't trust me?"
Wang Cheng: ?
Wang Cheng said, "It's not that I don't want to."
Lin Qiong: ?
Wang Cheng: "It's because I dare not."
"..."
After another ten minutes, Lin Qiong and Wang Cheng left the rest area for the event venue. This time, the venue was larger than the previous ones, probably because prominent investors were coming.
Upon arriving at the venue, Lin Qiong casually scanned the surroundings and was momentarily stunned. The tall figure was so familiar that it made him lose focus for a moment.
Wang Cheng, seeing his distraction, spoke, "Lin Qiong."
Lin Qiong snapped back to reality, shook his head, and thought, there was no way that Fu Xingyun was here.
It was strange. Recently, no matter who he saw, he could associate them with Fu Xingyun.
For example, the muscular photographer who didn't like vegetables made him think of Fu Xingyun.
Every time his phone received a message, he would wonder if it was from Fu Xingyun.
Lin Qiong rubbed his head. Maybe he was really losing his mind lately.
As the event began, Lin Qiong walked to his designated backstage area. After the host introduced the main characters, Lin Qiong took the stage.
——Live Chat——
"Lin Qiong! Mom loves you!"
"I hope Lin Qiong talks less today."
"He's here, my husband!"
"Childhood brother! Childhood brother!"
"Oh my god, he looks so good in this outfit, anything he wears looks good."
——
Lin Qiong proceeded with his usual self-introduction.
——Live Chat——
"Alright, Lin Qiong has finished his speech. Please mute his mic, thank you. Otherwise, it might get awkward."
"Someone upstairs, put on some pants."
"Lin Qiong! Promise me not to be a comedian, okay!"
——
But the host still asked Lin Qiong a question, "Recently, Lin Qiong has gained many new fans, and quite a few are present today. Do you have anything you'd like to say to them?"
Lin Qiong picked up the microphone, "Hello, everyone."
Feeling that he hadn't expressed his gratitude and excitement enough, he added, "Hello to all your families as well."
——Live Chat——
"He greeted my parents directly. I think he's interested in me."
"Hahaha, why does it sound more and more like an insult the more I listen."
"I know he meant it sincerely, but... can he stop saying that? Be a quiet handsome guy."
Of course, there were fans who liked him and those who disliked him.
"Why does he talk so strangely?"
"Well, there's a gap between him and the childhood friend in the movies, hehe."
"Don't want to watch him, can we quickly end his interview? Watching other supporting actors is better than watching him."
——
The host continued, "After the movie was released, many fans were concerned about your relationship status, but you haven't clearly indicated. So, do you have a significant other now?"
Lin Qiong was taken aback. He and Fu Xingyun were getting a divorce. How should he answer this?
——Live Chat——
"!!! Speak! Why aren't you saying anything!"
"Darn, could I have broken up right after starting a relationship?"
"I'm sorry, everyone. I can't hide the fact about my dumb husband anymore."
"Yes, it's me. Thank you all for your blessings."
——
After a long silence, Lin Qiong shook his head.
He and Fu Xingyun were getting a divorce; he couldn't refer to him as his significant other anymore.
The secretary, who was sitting beside Fu Xingyun, became even more cautious in his movements. He glanced at the big boss, who was as black as carbon, and swallowed hard.
The host finished interviewing the actors one by one and began to shift the focus to the investors. The spotlight and camera briefly flickered over each of the three investment companies.
When they introduced Qin Corporation, the camera naturally turned to Fu Xingyun.
The lighting also followed suit for a moment. Fu Xingyun sat in the audience, staring coldly ahead.
Lin Qiong and Wang Cheng, who sat nearby, almost widened their eyes at the same time.
At this moment Lin Qiong's microphone hit the ground with a "thud," Lin Qiong didn't know why Fu Xingyun appeared here, but when he saw him, his heart sank. A voice in his head told him.
It's over!
Lin Qiong! You're finished!
Lin Qiong bent down to pick up the microphone, but his hand trembled, and it fell to the ground again with another "thud."
For a moment, many eyes turned in his direction, and Lin Qiong lowered his head guiltily.
——Live Chat——
"Fuck, who was that handsome guy just now? He's really handsome!"
"The representative of the Qin Corporation! Rich and handsome, truly amazing!"
"Wait a minute, the man who appeared just now doesn't seem to be Mr. Qin. Mr. Qin has always been so charming; he exudes positive energy."
"Damn, looks a bit familiar, kinda like Mr. Fu!"
"!!! I think so too, is it really Mr. Fu? But didn't he have some trouble a few months ago?"
"Yeah, it's true. When the Fu family was in the news, he appeared once!"
"Mr. Qin and Mr. Fu have been friends for a long time; it's possible that he is attending on behalf of Mr. Qin."
"Damn, he's so handsome, but I heard he's married."
"What! Married! Why get married at such a young age!"
"Why are all the guys I like taken? It's frustrating."
"He really stood up. How did he manage that? Just because he's rich?"
"He has always been a ruthless person."
——
However, Lin Qiong dropping the microphone also instantly caught the attention of the live stream viewers.
——Live Chat——
"He's stealing the spotlight, isn't he?!"
"Introducing the big boss, he drops the microphone. Those who understand, understand."
"Understand what?! Are you not allowed to have shaky hands?!"
"Why didn't he drop it earlier, but conveniently at this moment?"
"It's indeed a bit scandalous."
——
Wang Cheng, standing on the side, was almost dumbfounded. The man who claimed to be Lin Qiong's fan turned out to be the representative of the Qin Corporation. For a moment, he couldn't close his mouth.
