As if he didn't hear clearly, Cheng Xi said in a daze: "Brother Xiaotao, what did you say? Say it again."
"I said," Zhao Xiaotao closed the door, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, "you, your relationship with Movie Emperor Tao has been exposed!"
A basin of ice water was poured over his head. It was obviously a warm room, but Cheng Xi felt that the chill had penetrated deep into his bones, and he was so cold that he could not speak a word.
——The purpose of releasing this kind of news the night before the finals is self-evident.
He obviously chose a hotel with the best security in the area, and he and Tao Shiyan were obviously very careful. How could they be photographed?
Cheng Xi took a deep breath, sat on the edge of the bed, and opened the Weibo client——
There was no need for him to search specifically. The entry #Tao Shi Yan Cheng Xi Love Exposure# was hanging at the top of the hot search, already marked with the word "explosion".
Click on the entry, and the top Weibo post contains more than a dozen candid photos. The blogger is a well-known marketing account with more than 5 million followers, so he spread the word about it in a short time.
Cheng Xi's fingertips trembled slightly as he clicked on the first photo.
In the hotel corridor, he and Tao Shiyan were each carrying a shopping bag, and Tao Shiyan was holding his arm.
In the second picture, all the shopping bags are in Tao Shiyan's hands. He is swiping his card to open the door, and Tao Shiyan is looking at him.
In the third picture, he is standing at the door. A hand reaches out from the door and puts it on the top of his head and rubs it gently. That morning, he was in a hurry to rehearse and didn't take care of his hair. Tao Shiyan was helping him get the hair on his head.
of hair.
The fourth picture......
Each of these photos is more intimate than the last, and anyone with a little bit of emotional intelligence can tell that something is wrong with their relationship.
The last set of photos is countless times more intimate than the previous ones.
Amidst the snowflakes flying all over the sky, he was only wearing a beige sweater. Tao Shiyan opened his coat and wrapped him tightly in his arms from behind.
Cheng Xi clearly remembered that he paid special attention to his surroundings that day. There were no cameras and he didn't see anyone else.
In order to go back to the hotel conveniently, he always used the back door of Fanshu TV. The back door was very hidden because it led directly to the community and no outside cars could get in. On weekdays, even the employees did not leave.
What's more, the back door is directly connected to the backstage, and entertainment journalists and the like can't get in at all. So apart from the sweet potato employees who accidentally bumped into each other, the only ones who could take these photos were other singers and the singer's team members.
A shadow of a person flashed in Cheng Xi's mind, and he clicked on the comment area under the photo.
[Marketing accounts, stop spreading rumors, this is filming, okay]
[Hahahahahaha, please send fans with higher IQs to clear the air.. Cheng Xi was on the live broadcast of "Singer Assembly" that day. How did he get to film the movie and become a shadow clone? Cheng Xi was separated on the set? 】
[Disgusting, I wish all gays in the world will get AIDS tomorrow]
[If I remember correctly, does this little meat have a sponsor father? I have saved all the intimate photos [pictures]. Isn’t Actor Tao a picky eater at all? 】
[I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it, I’ll wait for my brother to come out and give me an explanation]
[Why can’t I find a boyfriend? Because all the handsome guys are with handsome guys qaq]
[If you block a pack of spicy strips, you will get points if you don’t get out for three months [contempt]]
[Fengfen, come on, don’t you want to marry your brother? Now the opportunity to become a co-wife is right in front of you]
【#成奥Get out of the entertainment circle#】
[A gay man can digest it internally as much as he wants. Don’t come out to cheat on marriages. If a gay man cheats on marriages, he will kill the whole family!]
[Yes, sorry for the trolls, I actually find it a bit romantic]
[Oh my god, this couple is so sweet, especially the last few photos! Today I am also crying for the love of gods!]
[I can’t believe it, I actually got it for real? It’s the first time I entered the pit and tried CP and I got it for real?]
[It turns out Yanxi CP is really real! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh no regrets for me to die!!!】
[Why don’t you stinking CPFs go back to the sewers? The real owner didn’t come out to explain, but you had an orgasm first, so get out!]
[#成奥Get out of the entertainment circle##成奥Get out of the entertainment circle##成奥Get out of the entertainment circle#]
【......】
"Cheng'er."
Cheng Xi wanted to continue scrolling down, but Zhao Xiaotao was afraid that he would feel uncomfortable, so he quickly took away his mobile phone, "Stop reading, it's pointless. I'll contact Jin Kun now to see if he has an emergency plan."
"...Don't," Cheng Xi stopped him, "Don't look for them yet, let me think about it."
Zhao Xiaotao was suspicious: "Do you have an idea?"
Cheng Xi said "hmm", his voice hoarse, "Brother Xiao Tao, I... want to deny it."
Zhao Xiaotao took a deep look at Cheng Xi. He had been with Cheng Xi for three years. He knew his artists so well that he immediately guessed that Cheng Xi was not doing it for his own career.
He asked softly: "Then what are you going to do?"
"Don't respond now. Let this period pass before issuing a clarification statement."
"But..." Zhao Xiaotao frowned so hard that he could kill a swarm of flies, "But you are so obvious that anyone with eyes can see it. Aren't you treating the netizens as fools? When the time comes, you will
Ridiculed to death!"
"That's why I won't let you find Brother Kun. I'll take the responsibility for this matter myself. If netizens want to ridicule me, they're still mocking me." Cheng Xi paused, "Anyway, I'm used to being ridiculed. The worst I can do is get out of the entertainment industry.
"
He said it lightly, but Zhao Xiaotao saw it all, from the care he paid to Sister Zhan from the beginning, to the seriousness with which he personally worked on the lighting of the concert, to the dedication to doing all the performances in the two years since his debut.
Other artists are either making money or on the road to making money.
His artists, on the contrary, are either practicing or on their way to the practice room.
If you don’t really love it, why should you be so persistent and serious about the stage and music?
I really can’t imagine what kind of struggle he had to go through before he could say, “It’s a big deal that he will quit the entertainment industry.”
It's probably no less painful than ripping out your heart.
Zhao Xiaotao knew that he could not persuade Cheng Xi, so he sighed, "What about "Assembly Number"? How do you want to solve it? Retire?"
Being on the cusp of the storm, quitting the competition is naturally the best choice, but Cheng Xi shook his head, "You can't quit. If you quit, you will be said to be evil."
"But in your current state, you will definitely not perform well tomorrow," Zhao Xiaotao frowned, "Have you ever thought about the consequences of screwing up."
The Internet remembers shortcomings more deeply than shining points. Needless to say, Cheng Xi can guess that he will appear in the "Top Ten Car Accident Scenes of 2021", "Singer Car Accident Illustrated Book", "Mocking Zone Bot", etc.
Position, has been slandered by countless people, either accidentally or maliciously.
"It doesn't matter," Cheng Xi lowered his eyes, his eyes flushed, "...I'm still young, I can start all over again."
At the same time, Jin Kun also saw the hot search hanging high. He rushed into Tao Shiyan's office and pushed his phone in front of the man who was thinking about inviting friends to watch the finals of "Assembly".
"Ancestor, you are too big."
Tao Shiyan took the phone, frowned for a moment, and then relaxed: "Well, just right."
Jin Kun: "?"
Jin Kun: “What’s just right?”
Tao Shiyan leaned back leisurely on his chair, thought for a moment, and finally decided not to irritate his most capable employee, and opened his mouth——
He did not answer Jin Kun's question, but ordered in an orderly manner: "Akun, you have to do three things now. First, ask the public relations department to contact Sina to delete all negative comments that personally attack Cheng Xi, and ignore the hot searches;
Second, contact the hotel where Cheng Xi lives to call for floor surveillance. If the other party refuses to cooperate, tell me, I will call myself and make sure to catch the person who secretly took the photo; third, find the company to which the blog marketing account belongs, and find out who
Company correspondence address, telephone number and email address.”
"Go ahead, I want to see the results before midnight."
Jin Kun: "..."
Jin Kun looked at the time. It was now eight o'clock, and there were only four hours left before midnight.
Evil capitalist! Jin Kun slammed the office door angrily!
In addition to the parties concerned, another capitalist also received the news unexpectedly.
Cheng Liguo was disturbed by a phone call from his assistant just before going to bed. Assistant Wang said cautiously: "Director Cheng, there is something wrong with the young master. After thinking about it, I still think I should tell you."
"Don't hesitate," Cheng Liguo pinched his brows and said, "Say."
"Okay, Director Cheng. Here's the thing. Someone broke the news on Weibo that the young master is in love with a gentleman named Tao. Netizens were slightly dissatisfied with the matter and used some insulting words against the young master."
Cheng Liguo: "You mean, Xiao Xi was scolded?"
Special Assistant Wang: "...That's it."
"Which platform?"
"Weibo."
"Let me take a look first..." Cheng Liguo opened the app store and pondered for two minutes, "I forgot the password for my Apple ID. Come over and help me get it."
Assistant Wang: "..."
Special Assistant Wang rejected his wife, who had already put on her lace pajamas, and went out wiping tears.
Fifteen minutes later, he drove all the way and finally arrived at Cheng's house - the condition for the Cheng Group's recruitment of special assistants was that they must be on call within twenty minutes.
After helping Cheng Liguo reset his ID and download the Weibo client, Cheng Liguo quickly learned how to use Weibo after finding the Weibo post. Special Assistant Wang sat next to him and watched as his expression grew darker and darker.
Black, getting darker...
"Director Cheng," Wang Tezhu said with a bad heart, and asked quickly, "What should I do next? Please give me your instructions."
Cheng Liguo: “Have I registered a Weibo account?”
"You registered three years ago, and the General Assistant Office also helped you get Weibo certification."
Cheng Liguo: "I forgot my Weibo password, please help me get it."
Special Assistant Wang: "............"
At eleven o'clock in the evening, the tag #Tao Shi Yan Cheng Xi Love Exposure# is still firmly at the top of the hot search list, and with the continuous increase in traffic, forwarding, comments and other data have shown an explosive growth trend, and has now exceeded
Three hundred thousand retweets, two hundred thousand comments.
At 11:30 p.m., Cheng Xi forced himself to go to bed in order to be in good condition for tomorrow's competition so that he could not sing a single sentence. At the same time, he also grabbed Zhao Xiaotao who was constantly checking his mobile phone: "Brother Xiaotao, don't look at it. Sooner or later it will be over.
.”
Zhao Xiaotao, however, remained motionless and murmured in a low voice: "It's over."
"What happened?" Cheng Xi didn't understand what he meant.
"Cheng'er, check Weibo."
Why are you reading Weibo now? He already has insomnia and Tao Shiyan is not around. Isn’t it easy to create difficulties for himself?
In order to let Zhao Xiaotao go to bed quickly, Cheng Xi reluctantly opened Weibo and immediately discovered that under the tag #Tao Shi Yan Cheng Xi Love Exposure#, two more hot searches related to him appeared at some point.
The first one is: #成奥, if you get out of the entertainment industry, you will have to go back and inherit the family property#
The second article is: #Tao Shiyan recognizes her love#
What caused the first hot search was a photo of the household registration book, which the blogger certified as "Chairman of Cheng Group".
Cheng Liguo v: Not the sponsor’s father, but his own father.
What caused the second hot search was a long Weibo post posted by Tao Shiyan’s personal account.
Tao Shiyan:
1. Meng Bai followed and secretly took private photos of me and Cheng Xi, and provided them to bloggers affiliated with Shenzhen Sitian Media Co., Ltd. for profit-making activities. This behavior has seriously violated my and Cheng Xi’s portrait rights, reputation rights, and privacy rights.
I will file a lawsuit against the above three parties tomorrow and will not accept settlement. There is no need to contact my studio privately.
2. Cheng Xi and I met for some reason when we were young. After we separated, Cheng Xi left me a souvenir. Meng Bai risked his life to protect the souvenir. To express his gratitude, Tao Shiyan Studio signed a five-year agency contract with Meng Bai.
The contract ended last year and has not been renewed. Apart from the previous employer-employee relationship, I have no other relationship with Meng Bai.
3. Thank you all for your concern for my life-long events, Cheng Xi, for coming home with me to celebrate the New Year this year.
