self-awareness

In Li Mingchuan's nanny's car, Chai Bing was driving in the rain, carefully peeking at the two people sitting in the back from the rearview mirror from time to time.

Li Mingchuan's low air pressure had spread to the entire carriage, and he didn't dare to take a breath, for fear of blowing up the precarious atmosphere.

Ye Tang wiped his face with the paper towel stuffed by Li Mingchuan, and said, "Thank you, Mingchuan."

He knew that Li Mingchuan had a serious obsession with cleanliness, and just now he wiped off the egg paste with his own hands. He didn't know how uncomfortable he was all over at this moment.

Li Mingchuan frowned tightly, "Why didn't you tell me when you moved out? Did I agree to let you go?"

After Ye Shuhai's death, Ye Tang temporarily stayed at Aunt Qin's place for a few days. After dealing with Ye Shuhai's funeral, he immediately asked Chai Bing for help, returned to Li Mingchuan's apartment to pack his luggage, and moved back to his residence.

He had already packed half of the luggage. On the day of Ye Shuhai's accident, Ye Tang planned to move out before Li Mingchuan came back at night, but unexpectedly, Ye Shuhai died in a car accident, and the matter was delayed.

He just returned to his original position, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong.

Ye Tang: "I wanted to take care of the company's affairs so I told you. You are too busy with work during the day, so I didn't bother you."

Li Mingchuan looked at Ye Tang's eyes reddened by egg yolk, and felt extremely distressed. God knows how much effort he had just had to hold back from beating up those unscrupulous reporters.

That was his Ye Tang, the person with the cleanest heart in him, who was actually made things difficult by such a group of troublemakers, and even threw eggs!If he hadn't been anxious to take Ye Tang away just now, he would not have let the instigator go.

Li Mingchuan was reluctant to lose his temper with Ye Tang, so he had to vent his anger on the chai driver.

"Ah Bing, your skills are getting better, when did you become so familiar with Ye Tang and help him move?"

Chai Bing shrank his neck in front, afraid that this matter would affect him, "Brother Li..."

"Are you impatient?" Li Mingchuan said quietly.

Chai Bing immediately acted terrified: "Brother Li! I have seniors and juniors, Brother Li! I have no second thoughts about you, Brother Li!"

Ye Tang was amused by this pair of live treasures and smiled. Usually, Chai Bing always looks slavish and coquettish because of Li Mingchuan's majesty. Looking at the current situation, I am afraid that he is good at acting.

Li Mingchuan saw two dimples at the corners of Ye Tang's mouth, and his tense complexion relaxed a little.

"Still laughing! It's so dirty!" Li Mingchuan said with disgust, "Can you save me some time!"

Ye Tang blinked, "How did you know I would come to the company?"

Li Mingchuan: "I know everything and am omnipotent."

Ye Tang: "..."

Li Mingchuan said frankly: "A friend from the TV station said that his reporter came to block you, so he notified me in advance."

Ye Tang: "Why do I need to tell you about me?"

Li Mingchuan's expression was a little evasive, and finally he became angry: "Why are there so many? Do I need a reason to know about you?"

Ye Tang: "You won't keep asking people to stare at me, will you?"

Otherwise, how could he arrive so quickly when something happened to him?How did the TV reporter know when he would appear in Xingyu?

Li Mingchuan coughed unnaturally twice, and evaded: "My dad asked me to take care of you, he is very worried about you."

Ye Tang nodded.It turned out that it was something Li Yang ordered.

Li Yang was very kind to Ye Shuhai, but Ye Tang felt a little apprehensive because of the great favor he had given him. How long would it take to repay such a favor?

"I'm also worried about you." Li Mingchuan said suddenly, with a rare serious tone.

Ye Tang looked at Li Mingchuan's concerned eyes, which seemed to be full of distress, and he felt that he was really paranoid.

The things Li Mingchuan did for him may be out of Li Yang's orders, maybe out of the generosity of acquaintances, or maybe just out of sympathy, but they definitely don't have the feelings he wants, and he still has this self-knowledge.

He didn't want to make the same mistake again.Not long ago, he allowed himself to accept Li Mingchuan's kindness, and committed the taboo of being passionate. Now he has figured out Li Mingchuan's intentions, and he also understands that Li Mingchuan's feelings for him are definitely not the same as his feelings for Li Mingchuan. It would be ridiculous to be so deep.

Ye Tang corrected his mistake when he knew it, smiled kindly, and said politely: "Thank you and Uncle Li for your concern. Just drop me at the nearest subway station later."

Li Mingchuan felt that Ye Tang's alienated expression was a bit harsh, but he didn't go into it. He just said, "Which subway do you take? You have a bit of star consciousness, and you think the paparazzi are not busy enough?"

Ye Tang still wanted to reason, but Li Mingchuan's phone rang.

Li Mingchuan answered the phone, "Mr. Gu."

Ye Tang intentionally avoided and turned his face to the side.

Followed by his own mobile phone's notification tone, he took out his mobile phone and found that the main screen was already covered with entertainment news push notifications.

Click on the nearest one, and it reads impressively: "Ye Tangcheng is Li Mingchuan's junior brother, joining Chengxing's flag."

Ye Tang was even more puzzled, when did he become Cheng Xing's artist?How come he doesn't even know about this?

At this time Li Mingchuan also hung up the phone and said, "You can't go home for the time being, come with me to the company. Ah Bing, drive to Chengxing."

Chengxing Building.

Li Mingchuan asked Lin Qian to stay in the lounge for a while, and he and Chai Bing went straight to Gu Biao's office.

Chengxing's office area is simple and elegant, with a wide view and excellent lighting. A row of posters of Chengxing's popular artists are hung on the wall of the lounge. Lin Qian sat on the sofa and looked out through the floor-to-ceiling windows for a while. In the end, his gaze unconsciously fell on the most central pair on the poster wall.

That's Li Mingchuan's latest endorsement ad for a very popular men's bathing beauty. The half-length camera position, Li Mingchuan's perfect facial features without dead ends are enlarged by the camera, making it look more delicate. The muscles exposed to the sun, the lines are obvious but not exaggerated, they are just right tight and strong, the background of the seaside and Li Mingchuan's naughty smile make people feel brighter when they see it.

Such a healthy advertisement made Ye Tang feel hot all over, he smiled wryly in his heart, after so many years, he can still be easily confused by this face, it is almost hopeless.

After a while, Chai Bing brought Ye Tang closer to Gu Biao's office.

Li Mingchuan was sitting in front of Gu Biao's huge desk, and Ye Tang sat down on the empty seat beside him.

Gu Biao pushed a document down in front of Ye Tang.

Ye Tang took the document and glanced at it, "Letter of intent to sign? Mr. Gu, what does this mean?"

Gu Biao crossed his hands and said, "I know you have terminated your contract with Xingyu, join Chengxing."

Ye Tang: "?"

Gu Biao added: "Because of the rush of time, this is just a preliminary letter of intent. After you sign, the company will tailor a contract for you, and then we can pay attention to finalizing the details."

Ye Tang was deeply puzzled, "Why do you suddenly...?"

The greatest value of an artist to a brokerage company lies in the ability to create value, and the prerequisite for creating value is that the market must buy it. Only with audience popularity can there be a market, but as an actor who has been hacked into scum, the audience popularity may be negative. Either way, it's a money-losing product.

"Mr. Gu, do you know that people on the Internet are telling me to 'get out of the entertainment industry'?" Ye Tang reminded, I'm afraid it's better to explain some things in advance.

Gu Biao: "I know."

Ye Tang was even more confused, "Then why..."

Li Mingchuan finally lost his composure, and said, "Why do you always have so many reasons? If you want to sign, you sign. Chengxing will not treat you badly, at least not like Xingyu, when you are most difficult and need help. Kick you off the boat."

Ye Tang: "..."

Gu Biao said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, I'm afraid you have to sign this contract, or you have to sign it, because Mingchuan has already released the news of your joining Chengxing to the media, and now the news is already It's the headlines on the major entertainment pages. So Ye Tang, in the eyes of others, you are already Cheng Xing's person."

Ye Tang: "!?"

Ye Tang turned to look at Li Mingchuan, "Explain?"

Li Mingchuan was a little guilty by Ye Tang's stare, he pretended not to care, cleared his throat, and said, "When I picked you up in the car, maybe after you got in the car, I announced to the media that you have joined Chengxing."

He did not worry about Gu Biao, but he was really afraid that Ye Tang would be angry.

Thinking about it, he, Li Mingchuan, had always been fearless and never put anyone in his eyes, but now he was serving Ye Tang carefully, even he himself found it inconceivable.

It was only then that Ye Tang remembered that after he got in the car just now, Li Mingchuan had indeed said something to the reporters outside the car, but it was raining at the time, so he couldn't hear the content clearly in the car. After hearing the news, he thought it was someone who released the false news.

Ye Tang rubbed his forehead and said, "I'm sorry Mr. Gu, because my matter has caused you trouble, I will clarify to the reporter."

Li Mingchuan shouted: "What are you clarifying? How can I contradict what I said? No!"

Gu Biao: "Ye Tang, it's a done deal, so don't shirk it anymore. I will agree with Ming Chuan's proposal because I really think you are a good actor and shouldn't just be wiped out by cyber violence. I know your concerns. , but believe me, I, Gu Biao, am not a vegetarian either, I have the confidence to get you out of the current predicament, you just need to concentrate on performing the trick well, and leave the rest to me."

Gu Biao's straightforward words also moved Ye Tang quite a bit.

He did once think about whether to really end his acting career and quit the entertainment industry. After all, this road is too difficult, and he is about to lose his original intention, but Gu Biao's words undoubtedly gave him another injection. some hope.

On the other hand, Ye Shuhai passed away suddenly, and Aunt Qin and Ye Feng's financial resources became a big problem. Aunt Qin had never had a job. This time, Ye Shuhai's death hit her hard, and her body collapsed. In high school, without the ability to make money, they couldn't live on the support of the Li family all the time. Naturally, he had to bear the burden of supporting the family. At this juncture, he might not be able to afford unemployment.

After thinking for a while, Ye Tang picked up a pen, and under Gu Biao's encouraging eyes and Li Mingchuan's eager gaze, signed his name on the letter of intent for signing.
