Chapter 25 Termination on Weibo
The Concert ended on a perfect note.
Midway through, I had invited a top star at the peak of his heat as a guest, and it went onto the trending lists with a bang.
Because that top star had sung a love song with me.
I had written it for Xiao Yuan years ago. It had once burned through every street.
He had many girlfriend fans. They broke down and wailed, cursing under my Weibo.
But I had not expected Xiao Yuan to break down too.
He broke down in a special way. On Weibo, from his personal account, he posted a termination of collaboration.
The top star's next drama was invested by Haohai.
It was very official. A stamped announcement.
The top star's fans changed ground and ran to curse him under Xiao Yuan's Weibo.
Ten minutes later, Xiao Yuan posted another announcement. From then on Haohai would no longer have any collaboration with that celebrity.
Haohai Media had deep pockets and many investments. This basically sealed half of that top star's road.
The fans were so angry they had no strength left to curse. They asked him:【堂堂公司老总，你 LOW 不 LOW 啊？】
Xiao Yuan replied:【没办法，嫉妒又破防的男人报复心很强的。】
My head hurt badly.
After I shut the phone, my eyes hurt too.
The top star called me, careful and small. "I didn't keep my fans in line. I'm really sorry. Could you let this go?"
"Asking you to be a guest was a regular collaboration. But you stuck to me to hype yourself, and the fan talk was guided from your side." I smiled a little. "I do hate Xiao Yuan right now, but I'm not stupid."
I didn't handle the trending lists anymore. The two-hour Concert had used up all my energy.
I rested early, but in the small hours I received Xiao Yuan's call.
His voice was broken and blurry. He called my name in a low voice. "Zhiyi, can you give Brother Yuan one more chance?"
Sleep sat heavy on me, but I realized Xiao Yuan was drunk.
Xiao Yuan never touched cigarettes or alcohol. He had actually gotten drunk.
"Zhiyi, I want to see you." Xiao Yuan said it with a catch in his throat. "I was so jealous today. I'm sorry, Zhiyi. I love you."
He was already speaking without choosing words. There was a crying tone in his nose.
I remembered three years ago, when I had dinner with a partner.
My career had just started then. I had no right to sit at the table. They poured until I was wasted.
When I left my seat, Sister Li held me downstairs. At the elevator we ran into Xiao Yuan and Shen Xinrui.
They had been at a dinner too.
Haohai had poured huge investment into the project Spilt Water. Shen Xinrui was the female lead. Xiao Yuan had protected her. She had become someone who sat at the table.
Xiao Yuan's casual suit jacket lay over Shen Xinrui's shoulders. She looked perfectly proper. She had not touched a drop.
It seemed to me that in that moment Xiao Yuan had seen me.
But he acted as if he had not.
When the elevator closed, I saw Shen Xinrui's smile.
Provocative, and high above.
I yawned. "I'm very sleepy, Xiao Yuan."
The call cut off. I did not know who had hung up.
