?? Ning Tang had a dream.

??He dreamed of the first time he met Ye Zhuole.

?? That year Ning Tang was 19 years old and Ye Zhuole was only sixteen. The two met in a bookstore. They happened to be looking for high school textbooks. It happened that there was only the last book left, and they both reached out to get it at the same time.

??Ye Zhuole was startled, quickly withdrew her hands, and stood back timidly.

??Ning Tang saw his appearance, pulled out the book, and handed it to him.

??Ye Zhuole was a little panicked: "No, no need."

"Are you in a hurry to use it?" Ning Tang looked at Ye Zhuole carrying a schoolbag, and said gently, "I can buy it online."

??Ye Zhuole accepted it embarrassingly, and held the textbook in both hands, as if holding some rare treasure tightly: "Thank you, thank you."

?? This was a very common episode, but the appearance of this high school student caught Ning Tang's attention: "Are you Ye Zhuole?"

??As soon as these words came out, Ye Zhuole trembled all over, then suddenly raised his head and asked, "You, do you know me?"

?? Ning Tang said: "The family ethics drama that ended last month, you played the leading role when you were young."

??Ye Zhuole was stunned. His expression was concentrated, as if he was listening to the lecture of a professor at Tsinghua University. He lowered his head in joy, hummed in a low voice, and his cheeks blushed uncontrollably.

?? Seeing his shy look, Ning Tang smiled and said, "Remember to wear a mask when you go out in the future. Although there are not many scenes, you can be considered a celebrity regardless of age."

?? Ye Zhuole was not happy when he heard this, but lowered his head even lower: "No, no one knows me anyway. You, you are just an exception."

?? "Why are you so unconfident?"

?? "I filmed that TV series last year. Since then, I have no job, and my agent doesn't like me that much."

?? Ning Tang comforted: "You are still a child star, and now you are mainly studying, so don't worry."

?? "The manager said I don't have the talent for acting, so that's what I'm doing..." Ye Zhuole smiled wryly.

??Maybe it was fate. Ning Tang, who usually doesn't like to talk to people so much, miraculously sat down to chat with Ye Zhuole. Maybe it was because he couldn't bear to see his submissive and inferior appearance!

?? Ye Zhuole asked why he bought high school textbooks when he was clearly not a high school student.Ning Tang explained that he was working as a tutor for a high school student to earn living expenses.

??Later when Ye Zhuole talked about his agency, Ning Tang couldn't help but lamented his fate: "Coincidentally, I just met Mr. Wang from Sands Media, and he invited me to interview for an internship at Sands Media next year."

??Ye Zhuole was very surprised. When he learned that Ning Tang was going to become a manager, his expression was ecstatically surprised.

?? Later, when Ye Zhuole was not going well at work, he would call Ning Tang and cry, and Ning Tang would teach him how to express himself in front of his agent, commonly known as fighting for favor.

??Ye Zhuole did as Ning Tang said, and sure enough, his manager gave him one of the resources.Although the role is very small and insignificant, it is Ye Zhuole's only role in a year.

??Ye Zhuole danced happily, asked Ning Tang out, and treated Ning Tang to a "big meal".

??Ye Zhuole smiled and kept adding vegetables to Ning Tang's bowl: "Brother, I haven't paid my salary yet. I'll take you to a better place to eat after it's paid!"

??Ning Tang actually didn't agree with Ye Zhuole's rush to pick up the job. He was only 16 years old, so he should study hard.

??Ye Zhuole unconsciously played with the broken hair at the sideburns, and said, "I'm not good at studying, so don't waste time on it!"

??Ye Zhuole didn't say the whole thing, and Ning Tang felt that he had something to say, so he didn't ask any more questions.

??A long time later, on Ye Zhuole's 17th birthday, Ning Tang specially celebrated him and asked him: "Do you want to be an actor or a star?"

??Ye Zhuole looked puzzled: "Is there any difference between the two?"

?? Ning Tang: "There are two types of actors. The first type is to impress the audience with their strength and acting skills. Most of them are packaged as stars by the company, they have youth and beauty, and they are fashioned with idol temperament. Stars come out and hug each other, while actors are relatively low-key."

??Ye Zhuole was stunned when he heard this: "That's amazing, Brother Ning! But these two don't conflict, right? Gu Junyao has both acting skills and youthful looks. He is both a star and an actor!"

"But he defines himself as an actor." Ning Tang said, "He wants to be an actor, not a traffic star, so he doesn't participate in any variety shows, such as magazines and commercials, and rarely shoots. He specializes in acting and strives for perfection , Only when he is in the crew can he feel belonging, only when the camera is on him can he feel at ease, only when he enters the role and performs the lines, he seems to be truly alive."

??Ye Zhuole was completely stunned.

"What do you want to be?" Ning Tang asked, "An actor, or a star?"

??Ye Zhuole looked at the birthday cake and thought for a long time, and finally he only said three words: "I want to be popular."

??"To succeed?"

"Yes." Ye Zhuole said resolutely, "I want to prove to my dad that I am not just a fool who only knows how to eat. I also want to let the whole world know me and let them see my brilliance!"

?? That was the first time Ye Zhuole mentioned his family. His family was very wealthy. Although he had no worries about food and clothing since he was a child, his childhood life was not happy.

??Ye Zhuole has two older brothers, both of whom are outstanding. The elder brother inherits his father's business, and when he comes up, he is a multi-million dollar project.The second brother graduated from a prestigious school and worked in a top [-] domestic company. He is the only one who can do whatever he wants.

?? The words he heard the most since he was a child were "You trash", and these words came from his own father.

??Papa Ye feels that this little son is ashamed, he can't do anything well, he will definitely be worthless in the future, and it is useless to go out and beg for food.

?? Once the father and son had a big quarrel, Ye Zhuole ran out crying to find Ning Tang, and cried heartbreakingly in Ning Tang's arms.

?? "I hate them!" Ye Zhuole said and hiccupped, "It would be great if my manager was you."

"Yeah." Ning Tang patted Ye Zhuole's back lightly, and comforted softly, "I'm going for an interview next week. If I can successfully enter Sands, I'll fight for you with Mr. Wang and assign you to my name." Down."

??Ye Zhuole was stunned for a moment, raised his eyes swollen like walnuts, and looked at Ning Tang tearfully. The next second, he cried even louder.

?? When the dust settled and Ye Zhuole received the notice to change his manager to Ning Tang, he burst into tears again, but this time he smiled: "Brother Ning, I will follow you for the rest of my life. I will follow you wherever you go." where!"

?? *

??Woke up from a dream in the middle of the night, Ning Tang opened his eyes and sat up from the bed. He felt a little difficult to breathe, his heart was cramping, and he was very uncomfortable.

?? There is a saying in the industry that the entertainment industry is a big dye vat, no matter how innocent and clean people come in, they will be dyed colorful, and when various colors are piled up, they will eventually become one color - black.

?? Ye Zhuole back then was innocent, well-behaved, clever, pure-hearted and honest.

??The current him...

?? In Gu Junyao's words, childish and incompetent, small-bellied, selfish, and even Ximen Qing.

??Every time I saw the changes in Ye Zhuole and remembered the Ye Zhuole back then, Ning Tang felt very blocked.

??He asked himself that he was a consistent person who would never give up halfway. He said to himself that he would help Gu Junyao become an actor, and witness him to the altar with his own eyes. He did it.

??He said to himself again, he wanted to help Ye Zhuole become famous, and he did it.

??The next step, he should make Ye Zhuole explode.

??It was only three o'clock in the morning, and Ning Tang didn't feel sleepy anymore, so he sat alone on the bed for three hours. At six o'clock in the morning, he was about to go downstairs after washing up, when suddenly someone rang the doorbell.

?? Ning Tang opened the door and saw that it was Gu Junyao.

"Why are you here?" Ning Tang looked at the things in Gu Junyao's hand, which were soy milk, fried dough sticks, and a bag of steamed buns.

?? "It's like this, I came out of the house and wanted to drive back to the studio, but I saw an old couple buying soy milk and fried dough sticks on the road. They bought them all at once, but I couldn't eat them myself, so I asked Mei Xiaomei that she had had breakfast long ago, and I happened to pass by downstairs of your house, so I brought them to you, it's shameful to waste food, and save food." Gu Jun Yao was out of breath after saying these words, apparently worried about missing out with Ning Tang, and ran all the way upstairs.

?? Ning Tang: "..."

??Which breakfast stall closes at six o'clock??

??Finally able to enter the living room of Ning Tang's house, Gu Junyao cheered in his heart, and compared it calmly on his face.

??The food was hot. After the two of them finished eating in silence, Gu Junyao asked Ning Tang where he was going, and both of them stopped by.

?? Ning Tang called Ye Zhuole first, but the phone was shut down there, so he had to call Ye Zhuole's assistant, who said that Ye Zhuole was at home.

?? Ning Tang hung up the phone, and Gu Junyao went downstairs to pick up the car. He was not very attentive.

?? On the way, Gu Junyao asked him: "What is Mr. Wang thinking, are you going to give up on him?"

?? For a troublesome person like Ye Zhuole, Mr. Wang absolutely doesn't want to renew his contract. Ning Tang knows Mr. Wang's thoughts without asking. It would be good to go to Ye Zhuole's house and tear people up.

?? Ning Tang said: "Recently, the limelight is getting tight, I need to explain to him face to face, and hide at home for at least a month."

?? Soon arrived at the place, Ning Tang and Gu Junyao got off the car one after another. Ning Tang took two quick steps and entered the password to enter the door. As a result, the living room was empty, and it didn't look like anyone was at home.

?? Ning Tang looked down, and there were two pairs of shoes at the entrance.

?? A pair of Ye Zhuole's sneakers, and a pair of red high heels.

?? Gu Junyao, who followed behind, frowned and said, "He brought the woman home? Pan Yue?"

?? Ning Tang didn't speak, he took off his shoes and went up to the second floor, followed by Gu Junyao.

?? There was no indescribable sound. There was a balcony on the second floor. Standing in the corridor, Ning Tang could see everything on the balcony.

??There was a round table and two armchairs on the balcony. Ye Zhuole sat on one of the armchairs and talked normally. The woman standing in front of the balcony fence and chatting was none other than Sister Lan.

?? "Have you figured it out?" Sister Lan asked with a smile.

??Ye Zhuole asked back: "I am such a big scandal, even Brother Ning has given up on me, you still want me?"

?? "Sands Media will definitely give up on you. They don't want you, but we Longyue Film and Television want you." Sister Lan turned around, looking at Ye Zhuole with piercing eyes, "In fact, everyone in the industry knows Ning Tang's ability. It’s nothing, you can use normal gatherings to clear your name, you also know the reason why Ning Tang didn’t help you, so don’t I need to say more?”

?? Ye Zhuole pursed his lips and did not speak.

?? Sister Lan laughed and said: "Don't worry, as long as you follow me, all the resources under my command will be yours, which is definitely much better than you following Ning Tang."

"I know, otherwise I wouldn't have called you here on purpose." Ye Zhuole narrowed her eyes slightly, and finally made up her mind to hook her finger at Sister Lan.Sister Lan was overjoyed, and hurriedly took out the contract and handed it to Ye Zhuole.

?? Ning Tang wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Gu Junyao raising his hand.

??Ye Zhuole picked up the pen, glanced at the contract briefly, and quickly signed his name.

?? Sister Lan said: "Okay, Longyue will help you pay the liquidated damages for you and Jinsha, so don't worry about it."

Sister Lan never dreamed that it would be so smooth. Before Ning Tang came to her to settle accounts, she had given up the idea of ​​poaching Ye Zhuole. After all, Ning Tang would definitely tell Ye Zhuole about her purpose after that. Having been taught, she thinks she doesn't have the ability to fight Ning Tang.

??But I don't want to be full of surprises in life. I just gave up yesterday. Ye Zhuole took the initiative to find him today.

?? "Didn't you hesitate before, why did you suddenly become enlightened?" Sister Lan asked.

??Ye Zhuole raised his eyelids: "Because I think you are right."

?? Ning Tang who was standing in the distance was startled.

??Sister Lan: "Oh?"

??Ye Zhuole: "Old couples can still get divorced. Who can stay with whom forever? I'm just thinking about myself. Is there something wrong with that?"

"Yes." Sister Lan agreed, "If he is really for your own good, he should support you to change jobs. You have no future in Sands Media. After this incident, I don't think Wang will ask you to renew your contract. But I really didn't expect you to be willing to leave Ning Tang, don't you feel like you betrayed him this time?"

"Betrayal?" Ye Zhuole sneered, holding a thermos in his hand, "Who betrayed whom?"

?? Ning Tang was stunned.

?? "I know that I have no talent, no background, mediocre acting skills, and not good looks. Not only Brother Ning, but also my last agent thought I was hopeless, basically freed me, and didn't give me any opportunities." Ye Zhuole He snorted coldly, "I thought Brother Ning would treat me well, and I thought I would follow in Gu Junyao's footsteps in the future and become a top performer in the entertainment industry."

?? "It turned out to be a good thing. Gu Junyao walked in on the front foot, and Fivestars came in on the back foot. They are amazing, and they are all the chosen ones. They will become famous before they debut, and they will become popular as soon as they debut. Brother Ning will give them personally Compose music, join hands with Mr. Wang to support them, what am I? It’s the green leaves that set off the flowers.” Ye Zhuole looked up at Sister Lan, “You’re right, people’s hearts are biased, and Ning Tang knows I’m hopeless, so I hurriedly asked Mr. Wang wants the idol boy group to bring him."

?? Sister Lan: "But I heard that Mr. Wang asked Ning Tang to bring it."

??Ye Zhuole: "Is there a difference between requesting and taking the initiative? Those are five cash cows. How much more did I earn last year? A fool knows how to choose. What good will I gain if I continue to stay by Ning Tang's side? Doomed to be drowned, Destined to be hidden in the snow."

?? Sister Lan sighed: "After all, you are his first artist, so it would be very unkind for him to do so."

?? "Everyone has to pay attention to money. It's nothing. He just said it straight. He's not doing charity. I understand and I understand." I’m good, while leaving me alone, I’m going to take care of Fivestars wholeheartedly, what he said back then to make me popular, to train me to be a top player in the industry, these are all bullshit, he’s really hypocritical!”

?? Ning Tang swayed, and was supported by Gu Junyao behind him.

??He didn't fall, but he felt as if he fell to the ground. The ceiling and everything in the room were spinning. His heart was heavy, as if he was tightly strangled by a hand, and he was about to be breathless.

?? So, in Ye Zhuole's eyes, he has always been this kind of person?

??He is contrived, hypocritical, cunning, mercenary, and recognizes money but not people.

?? So it is, is that so?

?? Ye Zhuole said: "I know, I am so worried about things, he has long been impatient with me, he was very upset when I announced my relationship with Nie Wanli. Just ignore me, hehe, if I follow him like this, then am I not the biggest fool in the world?"

?? Sister Lan hesitated to speak, she turned around and sat on the armchair opposite Ye Zhuole, absent-minded.

??How is this going?

??It's not that she never said bad things about Ning Tang. In order to win Ye Zhuole over, she also established Ning Tang as a heartless and ungrateful person. Man, suddenly I can't bear it.

"Actually, Ning Tang is very kind to you." Sister Lan said in a daze, "It's like treating you like a younger brother. No matter how many people ask for such a manager, he is also fierce about Nie Wanli. , but in the end, didn’t you help you solve it?”

"It's also for his own sake. If he doesn't whitewash me, where will he get the commission?" Ye Zhuole's eyes were cold: "Do you know how I can see Ning Tang's true face?"

?? Sister Lan: "How did you see it clearly?"

??Ye Zhuole paused before saying: "Before filming the reality show, I tentatively asked him what he would do if he looked at my contract renewal as my brother regardless of his status as an employee of the Sands. Renewing the contract still requires me to choose another good tree."

?? Sister Lan pursed her lips: "What did he say?"

??Ye Zhuole turned his head, a contemptuous arc appeared on his lips: "He wants me to renew the contract."

?? Sister Lan thoughtfully: "Is that so..."

Ye Zhuole subconsciously clenched the pillow tightly: "He is doing it for performance, for money, for the company, for Mr. Wang, for this and that, but not for me! He doesn't think about me, he doesn't look out for my interests. He knows exactly what is involved in the general relationship, the matter of Nie Wanli is about to cover me up, and he wants me to renew my contract with Jinsha! I have been with him for six years, and he just treats me like this!"

?? Ning Tang's mind was shaken.

?? Six years, does he think of himself that way?

?? I am a selfish hypocrite, a hypocritical villain.

?? When did it become like this?

??Where did that innocent boy who was crying on his lap go?

??Where did that innocent and kind boy who said he would follow him for the rest of his life go??

?? Is it my fault?

??Why should one or both treat him with malice and betrayal?

??Parents don't want him, grandma blames him, brother cheats on him, Gu Junyao hides from him, Ye Zhuole hates him...

??Why do the people he loves treat him like this?

?? Ning Tang felt chills all over his body, he felt a fishy sweetness in his throat, and immediately spurted out a mouthful of blood.

?? Gu Junyao was shocked and appalled: "Ning Tang!"
