The place where Kong Yishan lives is more expensive than Mo Mao's father's small building in the Republic of China just now. It is a big courtyard, which is said to have been handed down by the ancestors of the Kong family.Kong Yishan is very proud of this courtyard, so many people in the industry know where his residence is.

Mo Mao's car couldn't get in at the entrance of the alley in front of the yard, so it had to stop.

"Can you go alone?" Mo Mao looked at him worriedly, "Or I'll go in with you, at least he won't dare to do anything to me because of my father's face."

"It's the third time you've asked, there's really no need." Zhang Qing closed the car door behind him, "This is between me and him, don't intervene to disturb this muddy water."

"but……"

"There may be nothing at all, but if you step in again, nothing will become something." Zhang Qing waved his hand, "I'll go by myself, don't bother with any of you."

"Alright then, I'll wait for you here." Mo Mao nodded without forcing.

The alley leading to the courtyard of Kong Yishan was very deep and the road was very narrow. It was paved with blue bricks of unknown age and was uneven.

Before reaching the gate of the courtyard, Zhang Qing was stopped by two security guards.

"What?"

"I want to see Mr. Kong Yishan." Zhang Qing tried to be as polite as possible.

"Do you have an appointment?" the security guard asked gruffly.

"I called him several times before I came, but I couldn't get in touch, but I really have something important to do and I have to meet him." Zhang Qing said.

"No appointment!" The security guard took out a riot stick from his waist and poked Zhang Qing's chest, "Go back, go back!"

"I really have something important to do, so I must see him now!" Zhang Qing said patiently, holding back his anger.

"No, go back!"

Just when Zhang Qing was about to have a seizure, the gate of the courtyard opened, and a person came out from inside.

"What's the noise?"

"Mr. Cai, there is a kid here who didn't make an appointment and insisted on seeing Mr. Kong."

That Mr. Cai was very young, and looked about the same age as Zhang Qing. From his voice, Zhang Qing recognized him as the secretary of Kong Yishan who kept prevaricating him on the phone.

I thought I met a more difficult opponent, but Secretary Cai glanced at Zhang Qing and opened the door, "Come in, Mr. Kong has been waiting for you for a long time."

Zhang Qing frowned, but did not speak, and followed Secretary Cai into the yard.

Kong Yishan was sitting under a big pagoda tree in the middle of the courtyard, sitting on a rocking chair, a small round table was placed in front of him, and a pot of tea was placed on the table, and Kong Yishan was drinking from a teacup.

Seeing Zhang Qing walking in, he just smiled lightly, "Do you want tea? This is the best Fuding Silver Needle, sweet and fresh, it is the best in tea."

"Forget about tea, I just want to ask one thing, and I'll leave after I'm done." Zhang Qing said bluntly.

Kong Yishan smiled without saying a word, and made a "please" gesture.

"Did you know that Zhang Honglu was invited to participate in the interview with Star Vision?"

"I know." Kong Yishan took a sip of tea, "I ordered it."

Zhang Qing opened his eyes wide, he didn't expect Kong Yishan to confess so easily, "What do you mean?"

"I was the one who found the program group and gave them a plan to invite your father. It was also I who wrote the outline of the interview and asked Zhang Honglu to talk about your sexual orientation and relationship status." Kong Yishan put down his teacup and looked at him with a smile ,"Any questions?"

"What—" Zhang Qing was speechless for a moment, and even wanted to rush to Kong Yishan and smash his small coffee table, "I haven't slept for two nights, and I'm running away from paparazzi everywhere. It’s been on the hot search for almost a day! What’s your question?”

"That's really congratulations." Kong Yishan didn't even raise his eyebrows, and still licked his Fuding silver needle with a smile, "You have done something that many stars can't do even if they want to break their heads. Hanging up for a whole day, how much traffic is this.”

"Traffic?" Zhang Qing laughed angrily, "I can't even be an artist, so what's the use of streaming? The TV series I just took over called to terminate my contract. Five or six companies issued announcements early this morning. Announce the termination of all cooperation with me. Is this the traffic you want? Are these traffic used to sing me farewell?"

"Hey, young man, don't worry. Sit down, sit down and have a cup of tea." Kong Yishan put down the teacup, and pressed his back down.

"I said, I will leave after I ask this matter clearly, and the tea will be free-"

"Sit down!" Kong Yishan suddenly raised his voice, his small but sharp eyes flashed with majesty.

"..." Zhang Qing sat down and said nothing.The servant at the side came over and made tea for Zhang Qing, Zhang Qing picked up the teacup and drank it like plain water.

The faint bitterness swirled in his mouth and slid down the esophagus into his stomach.

"Who said you can't even be an artist? Who told you, or did you draw a ridiculous conclusion based on your three or two years of acting experience?" Kong Yishan glanced at him out of the corner of his eye.

"Yes, my conclusion is ridiculous, and I have little knowledge." Zhang Qing laughed dryly, "Mr. Kong, please give me some advice."

"Do you know what these celebrities have in common when they have accidents, house collapses, and scandals?" Before Zhang Qing could speak, Kong Yishan answered for him, "It's because they never directly respond to public opinion's doubts. It’s never the truth that the public wants, it’s the artist’s attitude. What they want is the artist lying naked in front of them, with no privacy, no opinions, and whatever.”

"What do you mean?" Zhang Qing asked warily.

"It means that no matter how fierce your rumor is, it is only your father's one-sided statement. Without your positive response, fans will not buy it. The vast majority of capital is also waiting to see, waiting for you to make a positive response. Respond."

Kong Yishan paused, then stretched out his hand to greet the servant to pour him some tea, "You just need to give them a positive response. Tell them that the matter between you and Mr. Zhou is pure slander, and at the same time expose Zhang Honglu's previous bad deeds, including After severing ties with you, I extorted a large amount of cash, etc. At that time, public opinion will naturally be on your side, and Zhang Honglu will be punished as he should. If you need, I can also provide you with the best Lawyer team. How? This is a good way to kill two birds with one stone."

Zhang Qing lowered his head and laughed.Kong Yishan was not in a hurry, he held the teacup and shook it gently, letting the tea fully moisten the porcelain.

"You really have a good plan." Zhang Qing raised his head and looked at Kong Yishan with a smile, "You have already planned this plan since the beginning when you promised to help me, right? ?You investigated my relationship with Zhou Nanchen and the conflicts with my family from the very beginning. Since then, you have planned to hype me like this. The casting of "Escape from the Sky" is also the same. It was premeditated, no wonder you don’t worry about the poor broadcast volume of this freshman program, because you know that it will explode after my sexual orientation is exposed!”

If he guessed correctly, even Bai Mahuai was provoked by Kong Yishan to do such an outrageous thing.

"Otherwise, you still think it's your real talent that impresses me?" Kong Yishan smiled.

Zhang Qing secretly clenched his hands on both sides of his body, "I won't tell such a big lie in front of so many fans and audience!"

"Okay." Kong Yishan said easily, "Then you give up responding, or simply tell everyone that the two of you are in a relationship, and you are the rebellious homosexual your father said. When the time comes, you will see if there is anyone else. Dare to ask you to film again."

"Kong Yishan!" Zhang Qing stood up abruptly, servants on both sides immediately surrounded him, Kong Yishan waved his hand, and they retreated.

"The right to choose is in your hands." Kong Yishan curled his lips and said kindly, "I will never interfere with how you handle or public relations."

The choice is his?It was better said than sung, in fact he had no choice at all.

Zhang Qing's voice trembled, "Did you never think about me, my family, and Zhou Nanchen's feelings when you did this?"

"Feelings?" Kong Yishan put down his teacup and burst out laughing suddenly, "Zhang Qing, I thought you were a sensible young man, but I didn't expect you to come here and tell me about 'feelings'."

Zhang Qing was silent.

"Before you, Bai Yidong liked to talk about his feelings with me the most. Talking on the bed and off the bed, it seemed that staying with me gave him the illusion that we are equal." Kong Yishan's eyes were on Zhang Qing. After scanning for a week, "Only equal people are worthy of talking about feelings."

"Why are you and I unequal!" Zhang Qing felt a smoldering fire in his chest, "I'm not an artist under your banner, I can get to where I am today, all because of my own hard work! Take me and Bai Yidong for that. I'm compared to scum, who do you think I am?"

Kong Yishan laughed like he heard some big joke, "Relying on your own efforts, do you really think so?"

Kong Yishan took a tissue from the servant, wiped his mouth, and stood up, "You think you won the world champion by yourself? Do you think that you alone can lift Bai Yidong from the high platform?" Pull him down, or even send him to jail? Do you think that these scenes you are receiving now are because they have taken a fancy to your acting skills and your talent?"

Zhang Qing opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Kong Yishan spoke again.

"I can make you win the competition, and I can make you lose the cooperation. I can make Bai Yidong scolded by everyone, and I can make you kicked out of the entertainment industry. As long as I want, it's just a phone call, one minute. .” Kong Yishan smiled, looked at the mobile phone on the table, “If you don’t believe me, why don’t you give it a try?”

Zhang Qing was startled into a cold sweat, his voice was ahead of his reason, "Don't!"

Kong Yishan narrowed his eyes, and slowly looked at Zhang Qing, "Very well, your eyes are very good. Fear is a good medicine. It teaches us to be cautious in words and deeds, and to respect the strong."

As he spoke, Kong Yishan stretched out his hand and patted Zhang Qing's cheek.Zhang Qing's Adam's apple rolled up and down several times, and finally lowered his head.

But Kong Yishan didn't make any more gestures after all, and withdrew his hand.

"Young man, I like you very much and appreciate you very much, so I respect you. Go back and act according to your own ideas. I look forward to your performance."

For the first time in his life, Zhang Qing felt his own powerlessness so clearly, his insignificance in the face of overwhelming power.

When he was filming "Back to Back", Liang Yu told him that they are just a commodity and a string of data in front of capital, which can be fiddled with, fabricated and altered at will.At that time, Zhang Qing was still too young to fully understand.

Today, the name Zhang Qing only represents the value of the business and the amount of traffic. It is just a series of ups and downs of data, which are placed on the whiteboard of the vast capital for people to pick and choose.

Zweig has long said that all the gifts of fate have already been secretly priced.

At 08:30 in the evening, there was finally a knock on the door, and Duanmurou quickly wiped the water off her hands and ran to open the door.

"Why did you come back so late? Have you been watched on the road? Have you eaten tonight?" Duanmurou asked worriedly, "If you haven't eaten, I'll buy some for you. Not to mention that the small shops nearby are pretty good." delicious……"

"Sister Rou, can you leave me alone?" Zhang Qing interrupted Duanmu Rou, closed the door behind him, and walked into the house without even changing his shoes.

"Hey, put on your shoes first." Duanmurou stopped him and asked nervously, "Kong Yishan...what did you say to you?"

But Zhang Qing just shook his head, "Let me be quiet first."

Duanmurou had no choice but to get out of the way, watching Zhang Qing walk into the room and close the door without looking back.

Zhang Qing didn't know how long he was in a daze, countless thoughts crowded together in a mess in his head, and finally turned into only one name, his lips curled up, and the tip of his tongue flicked on the roof of his mouth.

Zhang Qing sat up and turned on the phone.He didn't look at his phone for a whole day, and after turning it on, all kinds of news came like snowflakes.

Yin Ling called him twice, sent dozens of WeChat messages, scolded Zhang Honglu and asked him how he is doing now; Qiankun called him, comforted him in WeChat, and promised During the extraordinary period, he will take care of Van Gogh for them, and optimistically persuade Zhang Qing not to take this matter too seriously, it will definitely pass soon.

He also received a bunch of tentative greetings from business partners, who seemed to be eager to understand the nature of the matter so that he could make a decision on whether to terminate the cooperation.

As for Zhou Nanchen, there were more than a dozen missed calls, but he did not send him a WeChat message.

Zhang Qing's fingers holding the phone suddenly trembled, and the little courage that had just condensed in his chest disappeared the moment he saw the name.

Just as he was staring at the screen in a daze, his cell phone rang suddenly. It was Zhou Nanchen.When Zhang Qing came back to his senses, he had already connected the phone.

"Hello?" Zhou Nanchen's voice came from the other end.

All of a sudden, all the thoughts that had been in Zhang Qing's mind just now became blank, his nose sore, and tears fell down.

"..." Zhou Nanchen sighed softly, "Why are you crying? Who bullied you?"

Zhang Qing couldn't speak, the more he tried to restrain himself, the more he choked up.

"Who bullied you? Tell Dad, Dad will help you teach him a lesson."

Zhang Qing sniffled and took a long time to say two words, "I'm sorry."

"It's okay, Sister Rou has been reporting your itinerary to me. I know that you have gone to the capital, and you are staying at Mo Mao's house. Mo Mao also called me and Brother Kun to report that you are safe. You don't have to worry .”

"It's not because of this, it's—" Zhang Qing's words got stuck in his throat halfway through.

Zhang Qing found that he couldn't speak, and his chest was throbbing with pain.

Zhou Nanchen smiled, "It's okay, and it's not your fault. Why don't you take it easy and listen to me first."

Zhang Qing let out a muffled "hmm".

"About this matter, I think so. The reason why the matter is so big now is because everyone is waiting for you to give an explanation, not because they just accepted what Zhang Honglu said. I I saw on the Internet that since the relationship between the father and son is not good, what the father said may not be true. So this crisis should not be as serious as imagined. As long as we can come forward as soon as possible and respond positively to Zhang Honglu Allegation will do."

"..." Zhang Qing couldn't tell what kind of mood he was in right now, "How should I respond?"

"Of course it is to resolutely and thoroughly sue Zhang Honglu for slander, and firmly deny that we have that kind of relationship. If it is not possible, pull your ex-girlfriend Yin Ling out to resist." Zhou Nanchen said, "After that, you can directly sue Zhang Honglu for insulting her. Defamation and infringement of reputation rights. In this way, the matter that Zhang Honglu has been pestering you can be resolved."

There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone, which made Zhou Nanchen a little nervous, "...What's wrong? Why didn't you speak suddenly?"

"Kong Yishan thinks so too." Zhang Qing said in a low voice, "I went to him today, and he admitted to me personally that he was the one who led the interview with Star View, and he invited Zhang Honglu to expose me."

"..."

"He just wanted me to do this, not only to stir up public opinion and get traffic, but also to continue to make money for him afterwards as if nothing happened."

Zhou Nanchen was silent for a while, "But we can only do this now."

"A lie needs countless lies to maintain!" Zhang Qing raised his voice, his voice trembling a little.

"I'm willing to maintain these lies for you, even if I spread a hundred or a thousand more." Zhou Nanchen said, "But you can't give up. You've finally come to where you are today. How can you lie because of such a trivial matter? Just give up?"

"You are not a trivial matter." Zhang Qing covered his face, tears wet his fingers.

"I know." Zhou Nanchen's voice softened, "Let's just fool the fans and reporters outside, and when the storm passes, no one will pay attention to us, and no one will know about the love we did for three days and three nights."

"Get lost!" Zhang Qing broke into tears and laughed, "You've been thinking about pretending to be such dirty trash all day long."

"Okay, you should be quiet in the capital for two days. When I have time, I will draft a press conference draft. Let's discuss it with Sister Rou, okay?"

Zhang Qing didn't speak.

"Okay, I don't charge any money for writing manuscripts for you. My university also charges 200 yuan for writing papers for others."

"Okay, 200 yuan, I will transfer it to you now."

Zhou Nanchen smiled, "It's getting late, you should go to bed earlier."

"Ah."

"For those partners who came to ask about the situation, don't let them hang around for too long. When you talk back, just say it was a misunderstanding, and they will come forward to explain it soon. Let them not worry."

"Ah."

"Then I'll hang up, you go to bed quickly."

"Yeah." Zhang Qing turned over, "Wait a minute."

"what happened?"

"Kiss one."

"Trojan horse." Zhou Nanchen said, "Okay, go to bed quickly."

"No, it's not real enough."

"..." Zhou Nanchen approached the phone, sucked loudly, and let out a "Ben'er", "Is it real enough?"

Zhang Qing smiled, "Enough is enough, I won't bother you anymore, I'm going to sleep."

"Then I'm asleep too. If you can't sleep, just call and wake me up."

"Understood, good night."

"Good night."

Zhang Qing put down the phone and lay down on the bed in a large font.He turned his head and looked out the window. The sky in the capital was gray, not to mention the stars, even the moon could not be seen.
