There is nothing more embarrassing in the world than being caught saying bad things behind your back. Zhao Xiaotao's face was filled with expressions of shock, fright, surprise, etc. It was so embarrassing that Jio dug out an entire sea-view room with his claws and stuck out his butt.
Baba greeted: "Tao, hello, Teacher Tao."
Cheng Xi was calm on the surface, but his brain was running rapidly——
A known:
Condition 1: The enemy is nearly 1.9 meters tall, and we are over 1.8 meters tall.
Condition 2: The enemy's ally has long and sharp nails and is equipped with hot coffee props. Our ally is a weak fat man who stumbles after being pushed by the bodyguard and has no fighting ability at all.
Question: What is the winning rate?
Cheng Xi quickly gave the answer: approximately equal to 0.
But that doesn't work. Although he is not popular, he still has the baggage of being an idol. What if he loses a fight with Tao Shiyan later and is exposed by the media, where will he put his face?
What do the three surviving station ladies think of him? How do the remaining 1.43 million fans think of him?
He narrowed his eyes slightly and tensed up all over, planning to fight to the death if it didn't work out.
War is about to break out.
However, the next moment, the man nodded to Zhao Xiaotao as if nothing had happened, and then turned to Zhang Jing: "Put it on the table for me."
Why are you pretending to be generous...Cheng Xi stood up and led Zhao Xiaotao out of the door.
The door to the waiting room was closed again, and Zhang Jing put down the coffee as instructed. She was about to ask her boss what happened just now, but found that the man's eyes were still lingering at the door.
She asked curiously: "Brother Yan, what are you looking at?"
After a few seconds, Tao Shiyan finally looked away: "It's nothing."
"The boy just now seemed to be Cheng Xi. I saw that his expression was not very good when he went out. Did you have a conflict?"
Tao Shiyan looked calm: "It doesn't matter. Children will inevitably make mistakes and can be forgiven."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jing's eyes widened and her expression looked like she had seen a ghost.
She has been with Tao Shiyan for five years, so she naturally knows his temper. If anyone dares to conflict with him face to face, there will be no good consequences.
Why did you suddenly change your gender today??
However, Zhang Jing did not dare to ask. She only dared to mutter in a low voice: "You seem to be so old...Cheng Xi is 21 years old this year, right? You are only 6 years older than him."
Tao Shiyan recalled the way the boy squinted his eyes, with a few strands of red hair blowing restlessly, and his pointed ears, like a kitten with blown hair.
He clearly looks like a child.
"Zhang Jing, ask Jin Kun to check Cheng Xi's birthplace."
After walking a few steps outside, Cheng Xi suddenly realized what he was doing.
——What is he running for?
He was neither afraid of Tao Shiyan nor afraid of fighting, making it seem like he had a guilty conscience.
It was obvious that Tao Shiyan should be the one to leave!
Cheng Xi suddenly stopped on the spot, with a very unhappy expression. He found a blind spot, kicked the Rimowa co-branded suitcase that he carried with him, and sat astride the box facing the wall.
The two long legs were bent casually, and the knees were exposed from the holes in the jeans, which were so white that it dazzled the eyes. Paired with the red box, one person is a national-level 5a scenic spot.
Zhao Xiaotao ran for a long time and finally approached Cheng Scenic Area. He leaned against the pillar like a pair of sticks and said, "It's over! Cheng'er, we're done... Are you autistic?"
"You are autistic," Cheng Xi wanted to beat him up, "If you want to finish you off, don't take me with you."
"Why are you facing the wall here if you are not autistic! Oh my ancestors, why are you so calm? Do you know Tao Shiyan's background?!"
Zhao Xiaotao kept going around, "The Tao family is a well-established and wealthy family, and his mother is in politics. His family has connections in all directions. There is nothing he can't do unless you can imagine it!"
"And don't forget that he is usually low-key, but he can be ruthless! There used to be a famous actor...what's his name? He was hidden by the company just because he offended him! Now he is impoverished, tsk,
It's so miserable that I have to go under the overpass to beg for food!"
Cheng Xi was so dizzy that he turned around: "If you continue to turn around, I will break your legs first and send you to beg for food under the overpass."
"Thank you, but this precious opportunity should be reserved for those in need... No, Cheng'er, don't think I'm being alarmist."
He squatted in front of Cheng Xi, with a sincere expression on his face: "Do you know how terrible things will happen if you quit the entertainment industry?"
"?"
"You! Just! Have to! Go back and inherit the family property!"
Cheng Xi: "..."
"Isn't it scary?"
Don't tell me, it's really scary.
Cheng Xi lowered his eyelids, unconsciously holding the hem of his clothes with both hands, staring straight at the small dots on the ground.
He doesn't want to go home.
His father, Cheng Liguo, is a successful entrepreneur. After taking over the family business, Cheng made the Cheng family a leader in the industry, but this does not mean that he is a qualified husband and father.
At the last moment of her mother's death in childbirth, she didn't have time to see Cheng Liguo for the last time. Therefore, her grandparents had no contact with the Cheng family until their death.
What he looked forward to most when he was a child was to have a good meal with his father and go to the park. Until he was five years old...
"Cheng'er, why didn't you say anything and were you frightened by me? Or let's go find Film Emperor Tao..."
"No need," Cheng Xi interrupted Zhao Xiaotao, "It's not that easy for him to touch me."
"Hiss...that makes sense. Either you reveal your identity to him, maybe your parents have a personal relationship!"
Cheng Xi's tone was cold: "If you don't want this mouth, I can donate it to those who need it for you."
"...Okay, okay, I'll shut up," Zhao Xiaotao said angrily, "You obviously have such a strong background, but you don't tell it, and you don't clarify when you are misrepresented as a financial sponsor. I really don't know what you are trying to do.
What......
Seeing that Cheng Xi could not be persuaded, Zhao Xiaotao leaned on the railing alone and felt melancholy. His two short and fat fingers were flying up and down on the mobile phone, and the special effects on the keyboard made a clicking sound.
Looking at his broad back, Cheng Xi regretted that he had spoken too harshly just now. After all, Zhao Xiaotao was doing it for his own good.
But I couldn't keep my dignity to coax people, so I could only find a topic in an angry tone: "What are you doing?"
"I'll give you a ranking," Zhao Xiaotao sighed, "your ranking on the rising star list has dropped."
The Rising Star List is one of the Weibo Star Power Lists. It is mainly competed by newcomers who have only debuted for a short time. It is divided into daily list, weekly list and monthly list.
The winner of the weekly list can occupy the recommended position on the cover of the Rising Stars list, and the top three of the monthly list can enter the official list to compete.
Being able to enter the official list means that he is an artist who is on the right track and has certain competitiveness.
Due to the popularity of the first two variety shows and his online appearance, Cheng Xi's fans are quite active and his daily ranking has been hovering around 10.
Unfortunately, as soon as the scandal came out last night, Cheng Xi's ranking was like a roller coaster, falling directly out of the 50th place.
When fans like you, how hard will they work to create rankings and data for you?
How ruthless can I be when I don't like you.
"What's the use of doing the rankings alone," Cheng said sarcastically, "Don't worry about it."
"I can't swallow this," Zhao Xiaotao groaned angrily, "Zhao Yingkai has surpassed you in the rankings, and he went out of his way to post a connotation on Weibo. It's disgusting."
Zhao Yingkai is an artist who debuted in Cheng Xi's company at the same time, and has always been dissatisfied with the company's resource allocation. Fans of the two companies also do not deal with each other, and often feel that Cheng Xi is blocking the way of their idol.
Cheng Xi opened Weibo after hearing this.
Zhao Yingkai: I won’t attend the banquet.
In just five words, fans all understood it, and the comments area was full of variety:
[My Kaikai made the top ten list based on his strength, not his financial backers]
[Whose sponsor is so powerful, why don’t you give him a boost [question]]
[Let’s keep working hard, the first goal is to be in the top three of the weekly list, and the second goal is to be in the top three of the monthly list, let’s go for it, Jimei!]
[As soon as he opened his mouth, he was like an old Onmyoji, Chi Qian is really a bastard]
The last comment was probably left by a Cheng Xi fan, but it was quickly besieged by Zhao Yingkai fans.
It looked like a funny scene, but Cheng Xi's heart, which had been anxious for a long time, somehow calmed down.
At this time, there were only ten minutes left before boarding the plane. Zhao Xiaotao finished checking in, signed in, and called Cheng Xi to come with him.
Cheng Xi stood up and his eyes were suddenly dazzled by a bright light!
He was very familiar with this kind of bright light. When he raised his head, he saw several people running towards him not far away, carrying long guns and short cannons on their shoulders, and the flashlights kept flashing.
No need to ask, you all know that they are here to block his paparazzi.
Zhao Xiaotao immediately pulled up his suitcase and reacted very quickly: "Go in the direction of Tao Shiyan, maybe he can stop these things for us!"
Cheng Xi lowered his head and followed quickly behind Zhao Xiaotao, "I've offended him so much just now. It's better to count on him than Prince Charming to save the world."
Unfortunately, there was no place to hide at the airport. Cheng Xi's dazzling red hair was just like a navigation system. Within two words, the paparazzi had already caught up with him.
"Mr. Cheng, can you interpret your lack of response to the revelations as acquiescence?"
"Who is the man you go out with? What is your relationship?"
"It is not convenient for us to disclose the content of the banquet. Did you appear at the airport this time to avoid public opinion?"
"What do you think of Zhao Yingkai's Weibo post?"
Hearing the words Zhao Yingkai, Cheng Xi paused: "As an artist, I think it is more important to focus on yourself."
Unexpectedly, he dared to say so, and the paparazzi were in an uproar!
"Mr. Cheng, do you mean that Zhao Yingkai doesn't improve himself and stares at you all day long?"
Zhao Xiaotao suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that he must not leave his violent and bad-tempered ancestor here, otherwise he might cause a lot of trouble.
He held his breath, puffed out his belly and pushed forward. He really squeezed out a way.
But after finally catching the news, why would the paparazzi give up and follow closely?
Cheng Xi was a little angry because of the squeeze. He frowned and was about to take out his cell phone to call the airport security when it suddenly crashed into a chest.
The unfamiliar temperature and woody fragrance enveloped his whole body unexpectedly. He was startled for a moment. He raised his eyelids and happened to see the scar on the other person's chin and the protruding Adam's apple.
Tao Shiyan leaned forward slightly and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "You don't have to be so enthusiastic to welcome me."
Then he looked at the media: "We are about to board the plane. Please stop as soon as you are ready. Please come back."
