Apprentice Idol [Entertainment]
Chapter 35 [35] The Truth
The moment he was dazed, the door opened, and a middle-aged woman walked out.Holding a spatula stained with soup in her hand, she looked at him suspiciously: "Who are you looking for?"
Zhou Zhitan took two steps back: "You... hello, there was a...slender and tall..."
"Mr. Bai? Oh..." The middle-aged woman nodded, "He sold this house to us. Are you looking for him?"
"I..." Zhou Zhitan glanced at the inside of the house in a blink of an eye, and the layout has indeed changed, and it has been renovated for a long time.
"Do you know where he lives now?" Zhou Zhitan asked.
"I signed a contract with Mr. Bai before and went to his residence once. It's in the alley not far from here. I can't remember the exact address, but I can tell you the approximate location."
Zhou Zhitan nodded: "Thank you, sorry for the trouble!"
The middle-aged woman wrote down the approximate address on a sticky note, and was still writing Zhou Zhitan: "Young man, do you look like a star?"
"...No way." Zhou Zhitan took the paper and waved his hand, "Thank you, Auntie."
"Aren't you really a star?" The middle-aged woman was still muttering, standing at the door and watching him press the elevator before closing the door.
This address is indeed nearby, less than 10 minutes walk.Zhou Zhitan was afraid that he would encounter trouble while walking, so he took a taxi to go there.The taxi stopped at the entrance of an alley.
"Here." The driver pointed, "Cars are not allowed in."
"Then stop here." Zhou Zhitan paid and got out of the car, and looked at the address.
Auntie said that she couldn't remember which building it was, but it was just a few buildings ago.Zhou Zhitan took a mask out of his pocket and put it on, and saw an old man sitting at the entrance of the alley basking in the sun.
"Master." Zhou Zhitan bent down, "... Is there a parking lot near here?"
"What?" Grandpa's ears are not good, "Ceramics factory?"
"...Stop, parking lot." Zhou Zhitan gestured, "Car..."
The uncle looked at him and pointed over there: "There is a little one over there."
"En!" Zhou Zhitan nodded, "Thank you, sir."
He walked over quickly, first saw a pile of fitness equipment for the elderly, and then saw the parking lot and a Porsche among the equipment.
Porsche, yes!found it.
Zhou Zhitan looked around, Bai Lu should be nearby.He walked over quickly, halfway through, suddenly felt something strange, Bai Lu's Porsche was dark blue, and this one was all black.
He went around to the rear of the Porsche to see that the license plate was wrong.
At a strange moment, someone suddenly passed by the parking lot by bicycle. The reason why he noticed it all at once was because the person was wearing a gray down jacket. Before the car stopped, he stepped down with long legs.
Zhou Zhitan hid behind the back of the car and watched the man turn around.
It's Bailu.
The lower half of Bai Lu's face was buried in the black scarf, only his eyes were exposed, and his hair grew a lot, hanging softly on his shoulders.He guessed that he was terribly cold, he was bouncing around locking the car, and he didn't notice Zhou Zhitan not far away at all.
After locking the car, he flicked the car keys.
"Little Bai." The old lady who was sitting near the parking lot peeling edamame called him, "You came back so early today?"
"Grandma." Bai Lu yawned, "I haven't slept all night."
"Young people don't work so hard." The old lady said distressedly, "Go back to sleep for a while, and grandma will send you a nourishing soup later."
"Ouch." Bai Lu said happily, "Thank you grandma, then I'll go home first."
Bai Lu walked in front, Zhou Zhitan watched from behind.The alley is small, and the building where he lives can be seen at a glance.After he watched him enter the building, if he followed him, he could hear which floor Bai Lu had landed on.
He looked at the door for a while, but never knocked.
Zhou Zhitan was sitting in the corridor on the upper floor. From this angle, he could see Bai Lu going out, but he couldn't see himself, and there were no residents here on the top floor. There were windows next to him, so there was no need to worry about anyone seeing him.He sat down and took a breath, his legs crossed on the lower stairs.
He took out his mobile phone, changed the domestic mobile phone card, and found that he couldn't wait for the small icon of the traffic, and thought it right, his mobile phone was probably shut down without charging money.
By chance, he turned on the wifi.Saw a name in a row of wifi.
White.
He looked at the word and clicked in.
Password...password...he didn't know Bai Lu's birthday.
Is it Bai Lu's phone number?
input error.
...what is it? 88888888?
input error.
Zhou Zhitan wiped the screen, and suddenly entered his birth date with the mentality of giving it a try.
The waiting standard on the phone turned twice, and the link was connected.
"..." Zhou Zhitan felt his heart beating wildly in his chest, with an inexplicable feeling, as if someone had poured a mouthful of sugar water into his mouth.
He almost wanted to go down and knock on the door, and wanted to go in and hug Bai Lu hard.
But he pinched his thigh to calm himself down.Calm down, what to do first...
Oh yes, first charge your phone.
After tossing for a long time, I was finally able to search for things on Weibo.He entered "Star Pavilion" and "Star Pavilion Entertainment" respectively.
In the densely packed Weibo, he found some news from a few months ago.Some passers-by sorted them out and described the data leak in detail, as well as the incident of Xu Yiqing and Wei Kai being photographed.
Zhou Zhitan was terrified when he saw it. In addition to shock, he also had endless anger and distress.
The three of them are abroad and know nothing about what happened in the country.Does Xu Teng know?Maybe he knew, and maybe even Xu Teng was kept in the dark. In almost a year, the entertainment industry has changed. Xu Yiqing kept a low-key filming and turned off comments.Wei Kai immediately retired indefinitely, and his Weibo was emptied, except for an apology Weibo.
He didn't even dare to click to read the comments.
In the news of Xingge, he saw a commentary article with the financial tag, which was only reposted a few hundred, but the words that caught his attention were "financing failure", "funding difficulties", "entertainment giants are also Can't escape round C death?".
The corridor was sunny at three o'clock in the afternoon. When he looked up, he could see the floating dust in the sunlight.
The Xing Pavilion's funding problem happened in September and October, and now it is approaching January, and Bailu and Xing Pavilion have not mentioned a word.He knew that the cost of their training in South Korea was high, and Bai Lu not only didn't say anything, but the tuition and living expenses for the past few months were billed more diligently than anyone else.
He knew that once Bai Lu said something, they might come back from Korea without saying a word.
Zhou Zhitan rubbed the center of his brows, Bai Lu didn't come back until noon and didn't sleep all night, so he should be sleeping.
He turned on the phone and swipe the WeChat address book.Li Mo and Gu Xi are in the country, they should know about it, at least they know more than those who are abroad, but Gu Xi made him feel unreasonable distrust, which made him hesitate about his name.
What about Li Mo...
He thought about it, but didn't click, and finally his finger stayed on Lin Wen's name.
Lin Wen's studio moved from Beijing to Shanghai, and last month he sent group messages on WeChat.Zhou Zhitan tentatively sent: "In?"
The other party replied in seconds.
"exist!"
The exclamation point made Zhou Zhitan feel better.
—Brother, I’m back home.
As soon as these words were sent, Lin Wen's phone call came, and Zhou Zhitan ran out of the building in fright, and dared to answer while running: "Hello?"
"Where are you?" Lin Wen asked, "When did you come back? Did the others come back? Does Bai Lu know?"
"Brother...Big brother..." Zhou Zhitan interrupted him helplessly, "I just came back, the three of us came back together, Teacher Bai didn't know...I just want to ask you...I...I was in Bai Near where the teacher lives now..."
He heard Lin Wen take a breath, and his tone was as quick as a bullet, "Don't run around, I'll pick you up."
Lin Wen personally drove a Land Rover that didn't match his figure to pick him up. Zhou Zhitan stood on the side of the street wearing a mask and received a call from Lin Wen.
"The Land Rover across the street."
Zhou Zhitan let out a "hmm", thinking that the two of them looked like an illegal trade joint.
When he pulled the door to get on the co-driver, Lin Wen was still looking out the window, Zhou Zhitan took off his mask when he sat down firmly, Lin Wen saw that his eyes were so wide that they almost popped out, and said in his usual waxy voice: "... Dude, who are you?"
"Has it changed that much?" Zhou Zhitan shrugged at pulling on his mask, "Did he grow taller?"
"...You are taller than me, right? Do you eat Gao Lego every day in Korea?" Lin Wen still couldn't believe it, touched his arm up and down, and slapped him on the back again, "...No, Xu Teng must have taken you secretly for plastic surgery."
Zhou Zhitan was delighted when he heard it: "Is plastic surgery still possible to make you taller?"
"... Tsk." Lin Wen smiled and shook his head, "Let's go, brother treats you to dinner."
Lin Wen seems to have saved up a lot of expensive, hidden and delicious restaurants. This time he took him to this restaurant for Southeast Asian cuisine. Zhou Zhitan choked on the smell of curry at the door and sneezed twice.
The two turned into a private room, and Lin Wen patted the waiter: "It's the same."
The waiter responded and went out.
The two of them were in the box, Zhou Zhitan focused on looking at the water-spraying elephant by the wall, and Lin Wen focused on looking him up and down.
"Brother Zhou Zhitan."
"Ok?"
Zhou Zhitan responded and looked back at him.Lin Wen gave him bamboo cane horseshoe water: "How is it in Korea? Not only have you grown taller, but you have also lost weight."
"It's a little hard work." Zhou Zhitan took a sip, sweet and refreshing, "The teachers over there don't really treat us as human beings... But it will be fine after getting used to it..."
"How about your Korean?"
"You're pretty good at speaking. Some of us jumped the queue in the cafeteria before, and even quarreled with them in Korean."
Lin Wen smiled and drank water: "Hahahaha...my mother..."
The waiter came in to deliver cold dishes. Lin Wen stuffed a piece of Thai pepper and chicken feet into his mouth, gnawing until he could barely speak: "...If you have any questions, just ask."
"...Xing Pavilion." Zhou Zhitan paused, "What's going on..."
Lin Wen spat out the bone in his mouth, and caught one for Zhou Zhitan: "The two first brothers were deliberately followed by someone, and the true and false news were mixed with the release, and now they are retiring, and they are silent. Inside Xingge The itinerary was leaked, and the whole world knew the quotations and financial records of their artists, and the investors withdrew their investment intentions." Lin Wen glanced at him, "Someone really moved to build Star Pavilion. In the past two months, those two people who made money There is no film to shoot, and the loss can be imagined."
"In two months, many artists in Xingge applied to terminate their contracts, and half of the building was rented out. I heard that Bai Zhenshi was beaten and forced to recuperate at home. Everything was on the brothers' shoulders."
Zhou Zhitan clenched his chopsticks tightly, which was much worse than he imagined.
"Gu Xi and Li Mo are still famous in my company and make money for me." Lin Wen said.
Zhou Zhitan opened his mouth: "...the two of them..."
"I heard that your trainee project team was disbanded. Their identities are rather embarrassing. At that time, Bai Lu wanted to find a company or studio in the circle to take over temporarily, and then take him back when the internal affairs of Xingge stabilized. But at that time In that situation, no one dares to ask them." Lin Wen took a bite of the food, "I think it's temporary anyway, so I'll take it first."
"..."
Zhou Zhitan couldn't describe his current mood, so he could only speak tremblingly: "...the project team, disbanded...? Then... money..."
"Bai Lu disbanded the project team but didn't give up on you. After much deliberation, he should be supporting you with his own money..." Lin Wen sighed.
The waiter brought curry prawns, shrimp paste water spinach, and Tom Yum Kung soup, and Lin Wen kept adding dishes to him: "What are you thinking now?"
"...I want to go back to my country, I don't want to stay there anymore." Zhou Zhitan said, "I don't know what to do, let's forget it. Knowing that he is under so much pressure, how can I practice well abroad."
He couldn't even imagine what Bai Lu had been going through these past few months.

Zhou Zhitan took two steps back: "You... hello, there was a...slender and tall..."
"Mr. Bai? Oh..." The middle-aged woman nodded, "He sold this house to us. Are you looking for him?"
