When Lin Zhu saw the news from the marketing account, it was already past midnight. He was sitting by the bed and was about to go to bed. Before going to bed, he habitually checked Weibo.

While frowning, Duan Li suddenly walked to Lin Zhu's side, stretched out his hand and squeezed his shoulder.

Lin Zhu raised his head from all kinds of speculation and messages on the Internet, and was facing Duanli's calm eyes.

"The photos sent out are somewhat ambiguous. The paparazzi probably wants you to pay a high price for those stone hammers in his hand." Duan Li stated the facts calmly, "If you don't buy them, things will go bad."

Lin Zhu patted Duan Li's hand on his shoulder: "The company will handle it, don't worry about it."

Duan Li sighed softly, lowered his head, and blamed himself: "Blame me."

Lin Zhu was about to refute, but was interrupted by the sudden ringtone of the mobile phone. He saw that it was Xue Ning.

"I don't blame you." Lin Zhu refuted Duan Li concisely, and pressed the answer button, "Sister Ning."

Xue Ning's voice was anxious: "Have you seen the news?"

"Yes, I see." Lin Zhu said, "I was negligent."

Xue Ning: "It's useless to say this now. What are you going to do?"

Lin Zhu was silent for a moment.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Xue Ning continued: "Since those paparazzi only released a few ambiguous photos and said that they have a stone hammer in their hands, there is a high probability that they want us to pay a high price for it."

Lin Zhu lowered his eyes: "I know."

Xue Ning: "You have just won Shidi, and the popularity is high. The paparazzi deliberately chose this time to break the news. I have already arranged the review, but the effect is not great. Netizens are obviously very interested in this topic. Marketing The bottom of the comments are all urging stone hammers, mother."

Duan Li stood beside Lin Zhu, Lin Zhu raised his eyes, the two looked at each other, Lin Zhu smiled comfortingly.

Xue Ning also said: "The intention of the company is to buy it. According to your current popularity and reputation, as long as you do enough public relations, and you post a Weibo to spread rumors, the popularity of this topic will naturally go down after a while. It will take some money. Anyway, you don't need money right now."

Lin Zhu took Duan Li's hand, played with it for a while, and said softly: "Sister Ning, I don't want to 'refute the rumor'."

Duan Li's hand froze.

Feeling Duan Li's movements, Lin Zhu raised his eyes to meet Duan Li's gaze, smiled lightly, and said with his lips, "Stay with me."

Duan Li's eyes were complicated, he hesitated for a moment, then sat down beside Lin Zhu, pulled Lin Zhu's hand back, squeezed it, and then passed his finger between the other's fingers, interlocking his fingers.

Xue Ning obviously didn't expect Lin Zhu to say that, and raised his voice in disbelief: "Don't refute the rumors?! Then what are you going to do? Admit it?!"

Lin Zhu gave a soft "hmm".

Xue Ning, one head and two big, tried his best to analyze the pros and cons with Lin Zhu rationally and methodically:

"Lin Zhu, coming out is not a trivial matter. You are in the limelight now. If you admit it, it is tantamount to giving up resources and traffic automatically. You have finally come to this day. Are you going to ruin your future for Duan Li?!"

At the end, he added: "In short, I disagree with this matter. Don't think about it."

Lin Zhu rubbed Duan Li's hand with his thumb, and said calmly: "Sister Ning, this has nothing to do with Duan Li, it's my own decision. I don't need to rely on traffic."

Xue Ning: "If you don't rely on traffic, what do you rely on?! Acting skills are one thing, and being able to receive good resources is another. Do you think that you can get so many invitations to dramas now because of your good acting skills? Let me tell you, Lin Zhu, there are nearly 80.00% of it, and it depends on your popularity!"

She spoke so loudly that Duan Li could hear her clearly when she was sitting beside her.

Xue Ning: "Don't tell me that even if you come out, your popularity will not necessarily be affected. It is impossible not to be affected. How many of your fans can accept you to fall in love? Half of them? Are you falling in love? , you came out, what?! No more fans?!"

Duan Li's fingers curled up, and Lin Zhu held them tightly again.

Lin Zhu said: "I don't want to lie to everyone. Besides, Sister Ning, Duan Li and I have nothing shameful."

Xue Ning was swayed by Lin Zhu's words, and he couldn't say anything for a long time. He sighed long and hard, and persuaded:

"Why do you do this? There's no need for your relationship to be criticized on the bright side. Once you admit it, sex will definitely fly all over the sky. You've seen it a lot, and you can bear it. What about Duan Li?"

Lin Zhu glanced sideways at Duan Li.

Xue Ning's voice was not low, even Duan Li could hear it.Seeing Lin Zhu looking over, Duan Li leaned closer to the phone and said, "I can."

Xue Ning didn't know that Duan Li was by Lin Zhu's side, he was taken aback when he heard the words, and said "tsk": "Why did I get on the two of you?"

Lin Zhu smiled: "Thank you, Sister Ning."

Xue Ning was silent, and sighed for a long time: "Lin Zhu, let me remind you one more thing. Your contract with the company is about to expire. If you accept this matter now, the contract renewal will be negotiated. On the other hand, it may not be much better.”

The contract between Lin Zhu and Huanchang Entertainment is for three years, and it will expire in a month or two.

Originally, if this hadn't happened, or if Lin Zhu had handled it according to the company's arrangement, Xue Ning wouldn't have to worry about the contract. After all, Lin Zhu is so famous, it could only be that Huan Chang made the contract and rushed to renew it with Lin Zhu.

But now that something like this happened, the renewal of the contract might go wrong.

Lin Zhu was silent for a moment, and said, "If you can't reach an agreement, don't sign."

Xue Ning thought he heard it wrong: "What? No sign? Could it be that you still want to sign with another company?

"Lin Zhu, Huanchang is one of the best companies in the circle. Other companies may not have such good resources as Huanchang. Besides, you have been with Huanchang for three years, and you still have a good relationship. Huanchang won't make things difficult for you too much. .”

Lin Zhu pulled Duan Li, and the two fell back on the bed together: "Sister Ning, I was wondering if I could open my own studio."

Duan Li glanced sideways at Lin Zhu, he didn't know that Lin Zhu had such an idea.

Xue Ning obviously didn't know either: "Personal studio? Why do you suddenly have this idea? Funds, resources, manpower, everything has to be considered. This is not a simple matter."

Lin Zhu thought for a while, and said, "I had this idea before. There are too many things, so I didn't say it. It just so happens that the contract is about to expire when this happens, so let's start preparing."

The "before" in Lin Zhu's mouth was actually the day he dated Duan Li.

He was thinking about his relationship with Duan Li, no matter what, he might be able to hide it, but he was too tired and he felt it was unnecessary.

Originally, I planned to pick a suitable time, so I made it public.

Speaking publicly, Lin Zhu has more or less considered the situations that Xue Ning mentioned. The worst thing is that no company is willing to sign him, so he can just open his own studio.

Huanchang's treatment is good, but they are pushing Lin Zhu to the traffic niche, which Lin Zhu doesn't want.

Relying on acting for a living is what he has always thought about. Leaving aside the difficulties of his own studio, the resources can always be chosen by himself.

As soon as the paparazzi's candid photo came out, although it happened suddenly, it was exactly what he wanted.

Simply put "wrong" as "wrong".

Lin Zhu and Xue Ning talked for a long time.

Lin Zhu's attitude is very firm, and there is no need to talk about coming out.

Xue Ning finally compromised, but still changed Lin Zhu's Weibo password, lest he would post it without thinking carefully; the statement was released by the studio managed by Xue Ning.

As for the termination of the contract with Huanchang, it's probably also decided.

Lin Zhu's idea is not very mature, but according to his current situation, opening a personal studio is indeed a good choice.

Jiang Dongfang was still negotiating with Lin Zhu a few days ago, and he wanted to invite Lin Zhu to be the leading actor in his first movie.

Jiang Dongfang doesn't care about the company because he doesn't care about people. Most of this resource has not been used. If it goes well, it will be the first big resource after the establishment of the studio.

There are too many details to discuss. Lin Zhu and Xue Ning talked about the lack of battery power of the mobile phone, and finally decided to meet and discuss in detail the next day.

Hanging up the phone, looking at the time, it was already early four o'clock in the morning.

Duan Li stayed with Lin Zhu all the time, during which Lin Zhu urged him to go to bed, but Duan Li refused and insisted on staying with him.

Seeing that the phone was hung up, Duan Li hugged Lin Zhu, buried his head in rubbing against his neck, and asked in a low voice: "Uncle and aunt, how do you explain?"

It was only then that Lin Zhu remembered that his parents didn't know about his relationship with Duan Li.

He jumped up from the bed with a "bass": "Hurry up! Be sure to confess before they see the news on the Internet!"

Lin Jin and Qin Wenjun are on the morning shift tomorrow, so they went to bed very early tonight. The news on the Internet came out late, so they probably didn't see it.

Pulling on her slippers, Lin Zhujin hurried to the desk, sat down and started looking for pens and paper.

Duan Li followed closely behind and asked, "What is this for?"

Lin Zhu spread out a piece of letter paper, turned his head and smiled at Duan Li: "Write a confession letter."

……

Lin Zhu and Duan Li wrote a confession letter in their own voice, and before dawn, they slipped into Lin Jin's room through the crack of the door.

After sending the letter, the two didn't go back to their room to sleep, but went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

Lin Jin and Qin Wenjun were going to the hospital at 08:30. In the past, Lin Jin usually got up at seven o'clock to prepare breakfast.

But today, until nearly eight o'clock, the doors of Lin Jin's and Qin Wenjun's rooms were not opened.

Breakfast was already prepared, Lin Zhu and Duan Li sat face to face at the dining table, and they didn't move their chopsticks until Lin Jin came out.

Duan Li was nervous, and Lin Zhu was also a little apprehensive.

The two remained silent, both paying attention to the movement across the room.

Five minutes later, with a "click", the door opened, and Lin Jin came out first, followed by Qin Wenjun.

Lin Zhu and Duan Li stood up together, with their hands hanging by their sides, both a little at a loss.

Lin Jin walked towards the dining table, Qin Wenjun slightly lowered his head and followed behind, Lin Zhu noticed with sharp eyes that Qin Wenjun's eyes were obviously a little red, wondering if he had just cried.

Realizing this, Lin Zhu panicked subconsciously, and he murmured: "Mom..."

Duan Li also said: "Uncle and aunt, I'm sorry..."

Lin Jin and Qin Wenjun sat down at the table as if they didn't hear their words.

Lin Jin looked at the sandwiches on the dinner plate, and affirmed: "The craftsmanship is not bad, and there is progress."

Lin Zhu and Duan Li looked at each other, knowing that they probably didn't want to talk about coming out, so they also shut up, and quietly ate breakfast without taste.

It takes half an hour's drive from their home to the hospital. The two of them haven't set off yet, and they are probably going to be late. After eating two bites in a hurry, they are ready to go to work.

Lin Zhu and Duan Li sent them out.

At the entrance, Lin Jin changed Qin Wenjun's shoes first, and stood outside the door waiting.

Before Qin Wenjun went out, he turned around suddenly, stretched out his arms and hugged Duan Li who was standing behind her, choked up and said:

"You are all good children, don't be stressed, no matter what, uncles and aunts love you."

Duan Li was stiff all over, standing on the spot, not knowing what to say.

Lin Zhu stood beside Duan Li, also speechless.

Qin Wenjun let go as soon as he hugged him, and when Duan Li realized it, he had already left the door.

Lin Zhu and Duan Li still stood where they were, looking at each other speechlessly, with emotions in their eyes.

They deserve to be blessed by their families.
