"Want to cause trouble? You should worry about whether all your close-up shots will be cut before you talk to me!" Wen Shengsheng said this, but her hands faltered.
Although she wasn't afraid of a mere newcomer like this, she also didn't want to stir up trouble during her rising career, especially for such a contemptible person; it wasn't worth it.
"I came with Ling Feng Han today." Xia Qingtian knew how to leverage connections, stating directly, "What, are you addicted to apologizing?"
In her past life, Xia Qingtian knew Wen Shengsheng because she had deliberately tried to create a scandal by causing a scene with her idol, Ling Feng Han. When confronted, she would apologize pitifully, and most importantly, she did it more than once.
Now, she was having a meal with Li Mengxiao in Ling Feng Han's lounge. What Wen Shengsheng's intention was in seeking her out was obvious even to a blind person.
As expected, upon hearing Xia Qingtian mention Ling Feng Han, Wen Shengsheng's expression turned even uglier.
Her agent wanted her to form a CP with Ling Feng Han, even if it was fake.
Anyway, her previous apology had made her a trending topic, and she had gotten screen time regardless.
Targeting Gu's Entertainment was a tradition of Wanqing Entertainment.
Why couldn't she target Ling Feng Han?
But Ling Feng Han had always been indifferent to her; no matter how she tried to show affection, he remained distant. When his fans insulted her, he also seemed aloof.
"Who do you think you are? Ling Feng Han would stand up for you? Offend Wanqing Entertainment for you?" To make her words sound more definitive, Wen Shengsheng avoided mentioning herself and instead brought up Wanqing Entertainment.
"Wanqing Entertainment, what is there that cannot be offended?" A clear, cold male voice came from behind Wen Shengsheng.
"Mobius." Xia Qingtian's eyes lit up upon seeing the newcomer. "Why are you here?"
"On a business trip." Mobius gave Xia Qingtian a faint smile.
"Who are you?" Wen Shengsheng didn't recognize Mobius and had never heard of him. However, when her gaze met his, she felt a strange nervousness.
"This is Mr. Gu's chief special assistant, Mobius," Xia Qingtian said. "Perhaps Mr. Gu would also be very interested in how artists under Wanqing Entertainment bully artists under Gu's Entertainment."
"You! Don't spout nonsense!" Wen Shengsheng, flustered, shot Xia Qingtian a warning glare before coldly snorting and turning to leave.
She was afraid of leaving any evidence behind.
Sister Wan had warned her about this.
Watching Wen Shengsheng leave just like that, Xia Qingtian rolled her eyes and then turned to Mobius, asking, "Did Mr. Gu send you for this recording?"
"Something like that," Mobius replied casually.
"It seems Mr. Gu values Sui Sui quite a lot," Xia Qingtian nodded in thought. This was good for her too.
Mobius didn't respond to Xia Qingtian but glanced at Li Mengxiao, who had gone completely blank. As Li Mengxiao was about to speak, Mobius shot her a warning glance.
Li Mengxiao's tongue suddenly got tied, and the words she wanted to say kept repeating in her mind:
Why do Mr. Gu and Qingtian seem so familiar?
Why did Mr. Gu suddenly become some chief special assistant named Mobius?
Why would Mr. Gu hide his identity from Qingtian?
Are they really that close?
This is unbearable... What on earth is going on?
While Li Mengxiao was caught in her turmoil, Xia Qingtian was already chatting with Mobius, having finished her boxed meal.
"Are you close with Ling Feng Han?" Mobius asked, recalling what Xia Qingtian had said earlier.
"Not really close, it's just that Ling Feng Han has a higher status, so mentioning him is more intimidating," Xia Qingtian said. After saying this, she casually handed the empty lunchbox to Li Mengxiao and then looked at Mobius again, saying, "You're quite intimidating too."
"It's Mr. Gu's name that is more intimidating," Mobius said with a humble smile.
"To be able to work for Mr. Gu, and as his chief special assistant, you are very intimidating too~" Xia Qingtian said with a smile.
"Not at all, I still have a long way to go." They chatted back and forth, the atmosphere quite harmonious.
At that moment, a staff member came to remind them that the recording time was approaching and asked Xia Qingtian to go for debugging.
Mobius then bid farewell to Xia Qingtian and went in another direction.
"Qingtian..." Li Mengxiao looked like she had something to say but hesitated.
"Don't worry, even though it's the first recording, you should still trust my on-the-spot adaptability," Xia Qingtian patted Li Mengxiao's shoulder and then, with great spirit, followed the staff member away.
"That's not what I wanted to say..." Li Mengxiao murmured, watching Xia Qingtian's receding back, and then sighed heavily.
Meanwhile, Mobius circled around and found Ling Feng Han in the stairwell, holding his head with both hands, his expression pained.
"Mr. Gu," Ling Feng Han's voice trembled slightly. "My... my medicine is gone. I've looked everywhere, and I... the more I can't find it, the more panicked I become. I can't breathe..."
"Breathe deeply." Mr. Gu took a medicine bottle from his pocket. "I brought you a backup."
"Thank you." Ling Feng Han finally looked relieved and took the medicine Mobius handed him.
"You rest for a bit, there's still time," Mr. Gu said calmly.
"Okay." Ling Feng Han's complexion finally began to ease after taking the medicine.
This wasn't the first time he had experienced this.
During an episode, he felt completely powerless, overwhelmed by fear and despair, believing he would never be happy again, and that death was his only release. This feeling was incredibly painful.
"Has that sasaeng fan been bothering you again recently?" Mr. Gu asked.
"No, I moved. It's just that I've been having nightmares lately, dreaming that she found me again," Ling Feng Han said with a wry smile. "Mr. Gu, how did you know I was here?"
It was strange, Mr. Gu seemed to know everything.
"Intuition," Mr. Gu said casually, then patted Ling Feng Han on the shoulder. "It's about time, you should go to the recording."
"Alright." Ling Feng Han finally responded and walked away, putting aside his doubts for the moment.
Once he stepped into the public eye, he was no longer himself but Ling Feng Han, carrying the hopes and expectations of countless people.
After resolving Ling Feng Han's issue, Mr. Gu walked out from the side and arrived at the side of the recording studio.
There, Bai Yuqi was waiting for him, yawning and with his legs crossed.
As Mr. Gu passed through the side door, a woman's voice called out to him.
"Yaoyang, how have you been lately?"
Hearing the voice, Mr. Gu's steps paused slightly. He looked over and met an extremely beautiful face.
However, those eyes seemed to carry all the grievances, having long lost the radiance they once possessed.
Mr. Gu's lips moved, his tone as indifferent as ever, "Cousin-in-law, long time no see."
Cousin-in-law.
The address washed away all the history between them.
Even though she was well aware of Gu Yaoyang's personality, Yu Lin Wan still felt a chill in her heart, a profound sense of sadness.
