You who walk against the light

Xiao Zheng sped up his pace and followed Zhong Kaifan. When he got into the car, he immediately opened the door of the passenger compartment.

There was silence in the carriage, some things were not convenient to say in public just now, and now there are only the two of them left, Xiao Zheng is very clear about what happened in these years, and couldn't help but say: "Kaifan, I understand your feelings, but you carefully Think about it, Lin Yuan has suffered so much humiliation in the circle, he has not contacted you for six years, smashed his teeth and swallowed his blood alive, if it wasn't for the fact that you caught his mother sick, he would never have talked to you Tell me a drop of bitterness. A person who wants to break up like this, knowing that you put his shadow by his side, what will he think? You two have known each other for almost ten years, right? How many days are good days in these ten years? I’m afraid five You can count on your fingers, let me ask you, how many decades in your life can you withstand such tossing?"

These words directly hit Zhong Kaifan deep in his heart, hesitation and fear entangled in his heart, making him speechless for a long time, he put his hands on the steering wheel, and said slowly: "So this matter must be hidden from him. , won’t let him know at all.”

Xiao Zheng sighed: "Hiding it? How can you hide it? If public opinion ferments in the future, and the Internet is full of scandals between you and this person, what will you use to explain it to Lin Yuan? Not only will Huiding be affected by this," he said. Slowing down, the tone was particularly heavy: "There will still be problems with the trust between you and Lin Yuan. Let me put it this way, this matter is more terrifying than Internet public opinion."

In the darkness, Zhong Kaifan's eyes were a little moist, "Brother Xiao, I regret losing Zhong Can and every day when I lose him. Do you know how I have spent the past six years? What kind of mood is it if I can't ask for it? Especially when I understand I can no longer bear any risk after what Lin Yuan has experienced in these years. Even if I don’t meet someone who looks like him today, I still have this kind of consideration. I have considered the ups and downs of Huiding’s stock price you mentioned, trust me I have also thought about the problem. Now that Huiding is facing a scattered shareholding, it is urgent to take back these shares. I know better than anyone how difficult this situation is to balance. What's more, Lin Yuan is still active in front of the screen. If a popular artist is exposed as gay one day What kind of bloody storm will be set off on the Internet?"

"Since this is the case, why did you pay such a high price to praise him? The greater the traffic, the greater the backlash." Xiao Zheng hit the nail on the head. In fact, Kaifan has come out of this situation step by step, and he can be regarded as Kaifan's elders couldn't bear the situation to develop in a worse direction.

Zhong Kaifan was silent for a moment, and when his breathing calmed down, he said in a hoarse voice: "At that time, I didn't think about spending my whole life with him. When Zhong Can passed away, he directly proposed to break up, and he couldn't wait to enter the entertainment industry. There is no explanation, it is equivalent to abandoning me directly. After so many years, I am still unwilling. After checking, I found out that he has not developed well in these years. It is better to give him more opportunities than to be bullied by outsiders. The time is up Then we separated. Later, when I found out about Auntie Song's illness and what happened to him after he entered the circle, I knew very well that I could no longer ignore him in this life."

Zhong Kaifan continued: "Do you remember the artist Qiao Yiliang who committed suicide at home a few years ago? Of course, outsiders don't know what Qiao Yiliang's difficulties are, but I know exactly what Lin Yuan has gone through. Back to self-confidence, I can’t, I don’t allow him to experience this kind of online violence. I admit, I’m selfish, but do you know who Lin Yuan is? He is a man with only the last dollar left on his body, and he will also buy ham sausage to feed the homeless Dog man. After the equity is recovered, I will strictly divide the share of the secondary market and control the shareholding ratio of shareholders. If things go well, Internet public opinion will not have any substantial impact on Huiding. After all, Huiding started as an industry. It is different from the fast-selling industry. He is in the light, and I am in the dark, which also means that in the future, all the swords will go towards Lin Yuan, Brother Xiao—"

Zhong Kaifan raised his head, looked at Xiao Zheng through the dim street light, and said sincerely: "I know Lin Yuan very well, he is an extremely tough person, and he cannot easily give up a relationship until the end, I will take care of these things slowly." Slowly explain to him, so I beg you to ask that boy for me, ask him if he would like to be my assistant, just follow me every time I travel, especially in crowded places such as airports, high-speed rail stations, and dining out , so that even if he is photographed, Lin Yuan will not be involved. That’s all, the boy is free for the rest of the time, and I will not treat him badly in terms of salary. Even if his name and school are picked up in the future, I will come to deal with the aftermath. After all, he is just an ordinary person, and his influence is not at the same level as Lin Yuan's."

Xiao Zheng has never heard Zhong Kaifan say so much. In his impression, Zhong Kaifan has always been a man of few words. He can finish a sentence and never say a word. But once things involve Lin Yuan, Zhong Kaifan will think a lot , wishing to move the whole world in front of Lin Yuan.Facing Kai Fan like this, what can he say?Zhong Kaifan considered everything clearly, except he didn't consider what would happen if he was misunderstood by Lin Yuan.He watched Kaifan grow up, and he knew that this kid was actually very good, but he was not good at expressing himself.

Calm was restored in the carriage, and Xiao was looking down at the phone. The light and shadow on the screen in the darkness were particularly glaring. He considered his words: "That's fine, but this person must pass my test. If there is any item that I am not satisfied with, There is no need to talk about this matter, it will only cause endless troubles, after all, people's hearts are unpredictable."

In case Lu Chen thinks something he shouldn't have, or even uses it as a threat, there will be endless troubles in the future.

Zhong Kaifan finally breathed a sigh of relief, his Adam's apple moved with difficulty, remembering the delay in Xiao Zheng's return home, "I'll take you back."

Xiao Zheng said calmly: "No, my home is not a few steps away from here." Then, he clicked on the WeChat interface, "I want to get Lu Chen's WeChat, and I will give you an answer in a month."

"Row."

Before getting out of the car, Xiao Zheng seemed to think of something, "You were going to talk about the suspension of the license today?"

Zhong Kaifan nodded, "What could have been finished with a cup of coffee, has been delayed for so long."

"I will continue to follow up on this matter. Don't be so anxious. Now that the situation is deadlocked, the attitude of the Supervisory Committee has to wait." Xiao Zheng said calmly.

"Okay." Zhong Kaifan let out a long sigh of relief. It was only a few hours before and after, but it felt like a long time. His heart was like that cup of American coffee, the temperature had already dissipated, and there was withered brown coffee juice left in the mug. No sugar and no milk, extremely bitter.

That night, Zhong Kaifan slept very restlessly. He dreamed of Lin Yuan. He had the appearance when we met for the first time, the appearance when he was in college, and the appearance that he did not remove his makeup when filming. Every frame was so clear, but Zhong Kaifan just caught Can't live.

He woke up once in the middle and turned on the lamp on the bedside table. It was already past three o'clock in the morning.

Zhong Kaifan remembered that Lin Yuan had been filming at this point before, it was so difficult to be an artist, he was full of torment just thinking about it.Although he doesn't want to admit it, the biggest problem in such a different place is not trust, but he misses A Yuan very much.

Now he is very eager to live a normal life - he can see Lin Yuan every day when he comes back from work, he can hug him to sleep at night, listen to him snoring and talking in his sleep, and cook together on weekends.But these commonplace things need to wait for a month or two to be realized.Except for the busy work every day, Zhong Kaifan will take time to visit Aunt Song. After all, the distance is short and it is very convenient to take care of her.The burden on his body was heavy, Zhong Kaifan found sleeping pills from the drawer of the bedside table, and took a pill with the cold boiled water next to his hand. The dose was not much, but at least it could ensure that he could fall asleep.

Time passed by in a busy manner, and it was July in a blink of an eye, which also meant that Lin was getting closer and closer to the final battle.During this period, apart from completing other business activities, Lin Yuan went back to Beijing once, had dinner with his mother, and asked her how she was doing. Zhong Kaifan was very busy and did not meet.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Zhong Kaifan finally got through on the phone, and Lin Yuan sighed: "Are you getting busier recently?"

Zhong Kaifan smiled and said, "It's all about work."

Lin Yuan recalled the recent rehearsal situation, and he was full of confidence in the strength of the players, "The final is getting closer and closer, are you sure you want to come?"

"..."

Sensing Zhong Kaifan's silence, Lin Yuan felt a little hopeful, and said directly: "Are you coming or not? If you don't come, I'll have a typhoon!"

Zhong Kaifan laughed out loud: "Why, you still want to blackmail someone?"

Lin Yuan stopped talking. In fact, if his mother was not sick, he would definitely invite his mother to visit. Over the years, there are fewer and fewer people by his side. Li Meng is one of them, but she is still busy with work matter.Even old friends have long been alienated because of different circles.If Kaifan doesn't come, I feel that I am so desperate, it seems to be meaningless.

"Where are the tickets?"

Lin Yuan quickly said: "It's been prepared a long time ago, there are three, two are for Xiao Zheng and his daughter, and the other is for Xiao Zheng and his daughter."

You stay. "

"I see." Zhong Kaifan said lightly.

"What do you mean?" Lin Yuan asked suspiciously, "You won't let me go?"

"I'll try my best." Zhong Kaifan was very patient.

After hanging up the phone, Zhong Kaifan felt a little hesitant. After thinking about it, he decided to set aside the time. Anyway, there were a lot of audiences, and he would not have any direct contact with Lin Yuan during the period, so he would just be a quiet audience.

After Xiao Zheng's understanding some time ago, he also told Lu Chen some facts, he said that there is no problem, he really needs money.But Xiao Zheng was thinking about another thing, would Lu Chen disclose certain information to other media because of money?

In order to further investigate him, Xiao Zheng asked Lu Chen to be Zhong Kaifan's accompanying assistant, mainly following train times, flights, dinner parties and other activities, and Duan Qi took care of other personal affairs.Lu Chen didn't talk much, and kept silent more of the time. He was never interested in things that had nothing to do with him.

Lu Chen only knows that there is a good part-time job now, but the frequency is relatively low, only about three or four times a month.

The contract was officially negotiated at the end of July. Xiao Zheng cut Zhong Kaifan's salary by more than half.

Those agreements are written in black and white, and if the information is easily leaked, they will face huge compensation.
