out of plain sight

Chen Moting took a big step back, raised his hand to signal the coach to pause, bit off the strap of the boxing glove, clamped the glove with his elbow, pulled out his hand, and took out the phone from his pocket.

The call was from Qiao Zheng, and Chen Moting hesitated to pick up the phone: "Brother Zheng, what do you want from me?"

"I'm Kong Dongyue."

Kong Dongyue didn't explain, nor asked where he was, but gave him half an hour to arrive at the designated place.Chen Moting's first reaction was to inform Sun Jinghan, but then he changed his mind and hurriedly asked the coach for leave.

He saw Kong Dongyue in the underground parking lot of a hotel. The latter was leaning on the Mercedes-Benz, wearing a long black windbreaker and looking even more eerie and slender: "If you don't come, the actor will leave the stage."

Chen Moting followed him to the emergency stairs, Kong Dongyue kicked the closed door, a ferocious face flashed behind the long and narrow glass window, and then someone opened the door to invite them in.

A person sat slumped at the corner of the floor, and two medium-sized thugs lined up on the left and right, nodding and bowing to Kong Dongyue in unison.

Hearing footsteps, the people in the corner raised their faces and seemed to smile: "Brother Dong."

He had obviously been beaten hard, blood was dripping down his chin, his face was swollen and blurred into a ball, Chen Moting could only tell from the voice that this person was Qiao Zheng, even though he had made psychological preparations in advance, he still gasped .

"Mr. Qiao," Kong Dongyue stood upright, his voice briefly echoing in the corridor, "I have been an honest businessman for so many years, and you force me to seek help from an old friend, you are forcing me into prostitution."

Qiao Zheng moved the corner of his mouth and spit blood: "It's normal to win and lose in business, why is it that I forced my girlfriend into prostitution?"

Kong Dongyue gave Qiao Zheng a wink, and the thug closest to Qiao Zheng grabbed his hair and slammed it against the wall until Kong Dongyue raised his hand to signal.

Qiao Zheng was overturned and curled up instinctively.Chen Moting couldn't help but took a step forward, but fortunately no one noticed.

"Victory or defeat is a common matter for military strategists, yes, but you have confidence in your relationship with Cai Chengmeng, and you have to pay the price for digging into my wall and fighting against me. Tianming Culture is not for Cai Chengmeng's joke!"

Kong Dongyue consciously lost his composure, rubbed his voice with a dry laugh: "Qiao Zheng, for the sake of the boss, as long as you kowtow and admit that you are a waste of meat sellers, I will stop here, otherwise you don't want to Walk more quickly."

"Is this the Young and Dangerous film set?"

"This is the whole picture of the entertainment industry." Kong Dongyue stepped on his shoulder and nailed him to the wall, "The shopping mall is like a battlefield, and small favors are the most unreliable. You are a living example in front of you. Chen Moting."

Chen Moting responded from shock: "Brother Dong."

Kong Dongyue turned to look at him: "Mr. Qiao has given you so many benefits, are you grateful?"

Chen Moting didn't dare to avoid his gaze: "Thank you."

Kong Dongyue's eyes darkened: "The contract expires next year, what are you going to do?"

"I want to renew my contract with the company."

"Mr. Qiao," Kong Dongyue raised his voice and looked down at Qiao Zheng, "A little star is smarter than you, the actor."

Qiao Zheng stared at Chen Moting with his not completely swollen right eye, Kong Dongyue retracted his leg, he slumped his shoulders and fell to the ground, knelt up with his hands on the ground, moved his knees and kowtowed to Kong Dongyue: "I'm a trash who sells meat, please Dongyue Give me a way to survive."

Kong Dongyue bent down and patted him on the back of the neck: "That's right, don't be too crazy."

Chen Moting took one last look at Qiao Zheng who was lying on the ground, and followed Kong Dongyue up the stairs.

The news that Qiao Zheng was seriously injured and admitted to the hospital was exposed on Weibo that night. The time of admission and the degree of injury were clearly stated, and real photos and X-ray images taken by mobile phones were attached.Reporters flocked to the site, but were told nothing had happened, the medical staff kept silent, the account that first revealed the news was nowhere to be found, and even the snapshot of the web page was a blank sheet of paper in the search engine.

For Qiao Zheng to block the news so quickly and comprehensively, he must have spent considerable money and contacts. Sister Hui called Kong Dongyue again to mention the credit for his service in Tianming, and begged him to write off the past grievances in a large amount. It is the sincerity of seeking peace.

Kong Dongyue said with a smile that when he was old, his actions were neither serious nor serious, and asked her to tell Qiao Zheng not to take it to heart.

On the surface, all is well.

But since it was news that could not be published, Yuji, who had been traveling for nothing at night, was happy to share it verbally. The showbiz is so big in total, and the news of Qiao Zheng's beating was spread all over the place not long after it reached Sun Jinghan's ears. to the next afternoon.

Since "The Great Rebellion" defeated Tianming and won a complete victory, Sun Jinghan has been in panic every day. He heard that his heart stopped for a second. This kind of bad style must have come from Kong Dongyue. Cai Chengmeng directly used violence to defend Qiao Zheng, it can be seen that he was dizzy, and this anger will burn on Chen Moting at some point, after all, Chen Moting is too close to Qiao Zheng.

"Jing Han," his big manager walked out of the office, "Brother Dong told you to go upstairs."

Sun Jinghan stabilized his mood, walked through the office area with all kinds of eyes, and went up to Kong Dongyue's floor.The door was ajar, and Kong Dongyue was leaning back in the chair with his eyes closed.

"Brother Dong is looking for me."

Kong Dongyue slowly opened his eyes, and pointed to the opposite chair with his chin: "Sit."

The last time Sun Jinghan confronted him here was because of Chai Ke. He also had the same expression and tone at that time, and there was no sign to indicate his next move.

"I had someone check Jiang Huijiao's phone records. Do you know that she dug out Chen Moting for Qiao Zheng?"

"I know, Chen Moting confessed."

"Why didn't Chen Moting change jobs?"

"Chen Moting is very smart, he won't get dizzy because of immediate interests, and he is very clear about which side is more conducive to development." Sun Jinghan never asked why Chen Moting stayed, but he couldn't always use "I don't Know" to answer Kong Dongyue.

"It's really smart." Kong Dongyue showed a rare expression of approval, leaned back in the chair and turned his back to him half a circle, "Your relationship with Qin Hao can retain people, and can also make people alive. Make good use of your advantages, Chai Kejiao Here you go."

Sun Jinghan thought that this conversation was about deciding Chen Moting's future, but the topic suddenly turned to Chai Ke, and his eyebrows twitched: "Thank you Dong Ge for your trust."

"Since you have become smarter, I should give you what you deserve. From tomorrow onwards, you will be Tianming's senior manager. Don't make me regret this decision."

"Thank you brother."

Kong Dongyue turned around, looked into his eyes and asked, "Do you know where Chen Moting was last night?"

Sun Jinghan was startled severely.

Kong Dongyue raised one corner of his mouth and waved his hand to signal him to leave.Sun Jinghan knew that he couldn't ask more questions, so he had no choice but to back out, quickly walked to the stairwell to light a cigarette, took a deep breath and leaned against the wall.

Kong Dongyue, who seriously injured Qiao Zheng last night, mentioned Chen Moting's whereabouts at the same time, obviously implying that Chen Moting was also at the scene.For such an important matter, Chen Moting didn't say a word.

He called out Chen Moting's cell phone number, hesitated for a long time, and did not call him.Once the artist's wings are hardened, there is no way to stop him from flying away. As a manager, he can only take one step at a time and ask for more blessings.

It was already late at night after going through a series of promotion procedures and sorting out the newly acquired materials. Sun Jinghan packed up his computer and files and went home from get off work.

Chai Ke didn't wait for his call, and took the initiative to call: "Aren't you going to say hello to the new artist?"

"I'll be your manager from tomorrow on." Sun Jinghan took off his coat and hung it on the hanger in the hall, walked into the living room and turned on the light, was scared out of his wits by Chen Moting sitting on the sofa, paused for two seconds to recover, and said, "Let's meet tomorrow and discuss in detail."

"I don't think you want to see me at all."

"Nothing."

Chai Ke left behind a dry laugh and hung up the phone.

Sun Jinghan put down his phone and asked, "How did you get in?"

"Last time you were sick, I was afraid that you would die at home and no one would know, so I gave you a key." Chen Moting was confident, and then carefully looked at his face, "I was afraid that you would be angry and wouldn't let me in, so come in first, and I won't let you in later." will do so."

"Why should I be angry?"

"When Kong Dongyue injured Qiao Zheng, I was there, and I didn't tell you." Chen Moting got up and walked in front of him, his eyes wandering like a top student who made a mistake, "I guess you already know by now."

Sun Jinghan was hit by his words, and he no longer concealed his anger: "You better give me a reasonable explanation!"

"I'm here to explain." Chen Moting raised his hand to shake his arm, then scratched his own cheek, "Kong Dongyue called me here to ask Qiao Zheng what to do after the contract expires."

"How did you answer him?"

"I want to renew the contract with Tianming."

"He believed it?"

"That's Kong Dongyue, he won't trust anyone so easily." Chen Moting said, "I can only say that I have tried my best."

Sun Jinghan knew it was the truth: "You still haven't explained clearly why you kept it from me."

"If the relationship between me and Qiao Zheng is not resolved for a day, you will be implicated, so in front of Kong Dongyue, I have to keep a distance from you." Chen Moting stepped back into the living room in front of Sun Jinghan, "I guess Kong Dongyue will talk to you today , Do you know what happened last night? He can tell at a glance. If you know, it means that you and I have a close relationship. If you don't know, it means that there is a gap between us. That's why I kept it from you, so that Kong Dongyue can rest assured."

"You think too much."

Chen Moting bent his neck to look at him with a straight face: "Aren't you angry?"

Sun Jinghan was able to control his emotions towards everyone, but he often lost control in front of Chen Moting.Realizing this, he couldn't help but smile wryly: "Just do your own thing and don't need to consider my gains and losses."

"We were originally bound together, we are both prosperous and wealtered, and we cannot always be protecting me."

Sun Jinghan looked at him: "I'm your manager, and it's my job to protect you."

"I'm still your boyfriend." Chen Moting reminded him, "You don't care about me if you don't work?"

"It's your turn to care about me if it doesn't involve work." Sun Jinghan straightened his face, "The relationship between you and me is not only work, but also work, except that I care about you and you care about me. This is a very healthy relationship between couples. Do you still care about me?" What are you dissatisfied with?"

He was very good at playing logic games, Chen Moting didn't argue with him, and showed weakness: "I'm not dissatisfied, that's good, I'm leaving."

Sun Jinghan held him back: "Have you eaten yet?"

Chen Moting was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head.

"Come here." Sun Jinghan walked into the dining room, put the takeaway on the table, took two pairs of chopsticks and handed him a pair, "It happens that I bought too much, and I can't finish it all by myself."

Chen Moting smirked with bright eyes, Sun Jinghan pretended not to see it: "Kong Dongyue promoted me as a senior agent today, and I can get more resources in the future."

"Good thing."

Sun Jinghan casually chewed a few mouthfuls of vegetables: "He also asked me to take charge of Chai Ke again."

Chen Moting frowned: "He really hates you."

"It's all a misunderstanding, just solve it. The biggest problem now is that I haven't picked up a singer for a long time, and my hands are terrible."

"You're absolutely fine."

Sun Jinghan looked at him devouring the food without any image, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I will be busier in the future, you'd better hire a personal assistant for you to reduce my burden."

Chen Moting grinned with his mouth in his mouth: "You think I won't run to you after I hire an assistant?"

"Do you think it's appropriate to just barge in like this?"

"I said I won't do this in the future." Chen Moting took out a tissue to wipe his mouth, "I will wait at the door from now on."

"You just said to keep a distance from me."

"Kong Dongyue doesn't know how to find someone to follow me, it's enough to just do it on the surface." Chen Moting winked at him, "If you want to get rid of me, you have to find a better excuse."

Cai Chengmeng, whose whereabouts were uncertain, suddenly appeared, and the hundreds of people in Tianming and others were not notified in advance.The front desk waited for him to go upstairs, and immediately picked up the phone to notify the senior management. When Cai Chengmeng stepped into the general manager's office, Kong Dongyue, who was out socializing, also got the news.

"It seems that it is impossible for me to be a hands-off shopkeeper." Kong Dongyue put away his mobile phone, "Everyone listen to my advice, don't be the master of anything."

Everyone present got up and bid him farewell, and exchanged glances knowingly—Kong Laoer is probably going to deal with the grievances of his manager again, and Sister Hui's jumping to Qiao Zheng's studio is really unloading Tianming Culture of an arm.If Qiao Zheng's serious injury was not caused by Kong Dongyue, then he must have seen a ghost.

Kong Dongyue put on the gloves twice before getting his fingers right, and the deputy's phone came after him: "Brother Dong, the boss asked you to go to his office."

"Understood, just say I'm on the way."

"About what time……"

Kong Dongyue couldn't get used to his terrified tone, so he rolled down the car window and threw out the bluetooth headset.

Cai Chengmeng's office has not been visited by the owner for several years. Although it is cleaned every day, it has been vacant for too long. Even if the light is sufficient and the heating is turned on, Kong Dongyue still feels a chill when he first steps in.

"Are you angry?"

Kong Dongyue, who just sat down opposite Cai Chengmeng, was taken aback for a moment, and the tough plans along the way disappeared immediately: "Boss knows."

Cai Chengmeng narrowed his eyes: "A dog can't change eating shit."

"You're used to it."

When Tianming Culture was just established, Cai Chengmeng, who was both black and white, recruited a street gangster into the group, because he liked his unscrupulous ruthlessness, and he was a handy gun.It was beyond Cai Chengmeng's expectation that Kong Dongyue could play with the complex relationship in the entertainment industry, and Kong Dongyue himself had never expected it either.

"I'm your subordinate. If you think I've done something wrong, I have no complaints about how you deal with me."

Cai Chengmeng smiled with his lips covered by his beard: "Qiao Zheng is the little terrier I raised for fun, and you are my partner and my brother. I really admire him, but I am not so discouraged that my relatives don't recognize him, but you and I I'm out."

Kong Dongyue also laughed: "It's all my fault for co-authoring."

"I won't pursue this matter with anyone." Cai Chengmeng's voice turned cold, "It's up to the owner to beat the dog, he deserves it if you kick him, but you can't depose him, let alone kill him, enough is enough. "

Kong Dongyue raised his hands as a gesture of surrender: "Boss returned to Beijing for this matter?"

"Joke." Cai Chengmeng said, "I came back for the New Year."

The rumors that Tianming was caught in a power struggle were self-defeating due to the appearance of Cai Chengmeng. The company took Kong Dongyue as the source, and verbally instructed from top to bottom not to treat Qiao Zheng's studio specially. The wind changed, and Sun Jinghan, who had already been promoted to a senior manager Only then did I receive congratulations from my colleagues.

He has been suppressed in Tianming Culture for so many years, and he has finally turned the clouds to see the sun, but he has never let go of the big stone in his heart. It may not be a good thing for Kong Dongyue to start repairing the relationship with Qiao Zheng's studio. Chen Moting offended Qiao Zheng in disguise last time. It is hard to say that Kong Dongyue will He will not use him to show his favor to Qiao Zheng.

You shouldn't have anything to do with these big figures who turn their faces like flipping books.

Chen Moting dismissed his worries, saying that I just need to go to Qiao Zheng to apologize, there is nothing to worry about.

"not that simple."

"It's that simple." Chen Moting rolled up the sleeve of his left arm. The scar from half a year ago is still there, and he still needs makeup to cover it up. "I have more experience in winning people's hearts than you, so I have already laid the groundwork. How to say it I also risked my life to save him, and he wouldn't hold grudges because of my few words on the scene. Many things can't be left cold, just apologize while it's hot and you'll be fine."

Sun Jinghan held his arm to cover up the scar: "You tried your best to save him that time, was it to bury a favor?"

It was rare for him to take the initiative and touch him for a long time, and Chen Moting, who was always articulate, stuttered: "No, I was kidding..." He coughed dryly and recovered his language function, "How could I work so hard to earn favors? It’s just doing whatever is right, I’m his fan.”

Sun Jinghan lowered his sleeves to cover the scar: "I hope Qiao Zheng is a person who holds gratitude but not grudges."

"Brother Sun," Chen Moting looked at him with a smile, "You are so gentle."

Sun Jinghan had goosebumps all over his body: "What is this mess, what are you doing here?"

"I feel that you are in a bad mood these days, so I came to ask what's going on." Chen Moting stood up, "This is the boyfriend's duty."

Sun Jinghan also got up to send him off: "Your theory of love is really rich."

Chen Moting walked to the door: "Sun Jinghan, when I get the actor, I will definitely announce your identity to the world. This is the boyfriend's responsibility."

"Wait until you really become a movie king."

Sun Jinghan closed the door, went back to the living room, lit a cigarette, and smiled wryly.

Becoming an actor is not easy. Most of the actors are over [-] years old before they join the ranks of the big names, and there are a few who can not forget their original aspirations.
