The assistant watched the huge ongoing discussion, and silently handed the phone to Shang Chengze. “Shang- ge , why don’t you add another behind the scenes photo of holding the cat? Everyone seems to like cats a lot. Wen Mingyi held a cat and now his post’s forwarding rate has become very high.”

Shang Chengze reluctantly picked up the siamese cat from the ground and took a photo with it.

And then he created a post on Weibo so as to show how much he liked the siamese cat: Look at this cutie.

Everyone looked at the photo, gaze fixed on the siamese cat with innocent blue eyes while shouting ‘cute’. They ridiculed, the weather was now cold, it’s time for the siamese cat to go mining!

Shang Chengze didn’t bother reading these comments. After seeing his search rate rise, he returned the phone to his assistant with satisfaction. As for the cat, the moment after taking the picture, he tossed it back to the ground in disgust.

“It’s really dirty.” Shang Chengze asked his assistant to wipe his hands with a wet towel.

Little Siamese stood on the ground as it licked its fur obediently, without knowing that it had been cast aside.

When Jiang Zimo saw ‘Pet Romance’ on Weibo’s hot search list, he was in the midst of having dinner with Wen Bo. Wen Bo noticed him staring at his phone with a gloomy appearance, and curiously asked, “What’s the matter? Is the steak not tasty? Let’s change it.”

“No.” Jiang Zimo raised his head and glanced at him. With a low tone, he said, “I just feel that Heaven is really unfair.”

Wen Bo did not understand.

Jiang Zimo looked at the steak on his plate, cutting it into small pieces, and griped, “Effort… No matter how hard one works, they can’t compare to some who are born to stand till the end. Even though one sacrifices so much, in the end, others only see them. How funny.”

He raised his head, gave a smile to Wen Bo, and continued pitifully, “Indeed, Heaven is not fair. Some people, even if they are willful and don’t understand the rules, they can still muddle along and be liked by others. But some, no matter how hard they work, they can’t even compare. Truly incomparable.”

“Who are you talking about?” Wen Bo didn’t understand.

“None, just wanted to vent. You don’t have to be too concerned. Let’s eat, ba .”

But how could Wen Bo continue eating? He looked at Jiang Zimo’s melancholic eyebrows, feeling distressed. “You don’t have to be this way. Those who don’t understand the rules will naturally have someone teach them how to behave. You’re so good, you will definitely live better than him.”

“How is it possible.” Jiang Zimo laughed at himself. “He is a big star, unlike me, an ordinary person.”

“But your looks are not inferior to any celebrity.” Wen Bo’s infatuated eyes shone. “You are more beautiful than many celebrities today!”

Jiang Zimo smiled. “Don’t kid me.”

“Seriously. Xiao Mo, if you want to shoot, you only need to ask. It’s only that the entertainment industry is too messy, and I think you might not be suitable for that, so I don’t want you to go.”

“But hasn’t Wen Mingyi started to mix in the entertainment circle?”

“He is different from you,” Wen Bo scorned. “How can you compare yourself to him!”

Jiang Zimo sighed, “Not that I’m comparing myself with him. Is there anything I have that is better than his? No matter what he does, however he does it, Junduo is always willing to forgive him. I’m like a villain between those two.” 1 Vez: Self aware finally.

Bubbles: LMAOOOOOO IKR YES

Saying this, his self-deprecating expression leaked out. “Right, I should have never intruded. Wen Mingyi doesn’t like it. Every time he sees me, his eyes become frosty, and he can’t wait for me to disappear. Am I so annoying as to deserve his hatred?”

Wen Bo quickly consoled, “That’s because of his bad personality, not because of you. How could you be annoying? He’s the one who’s annoying.”

“But everyone likes him a lot.” Jiang Zimo glanced at his phone’s screen that had already turned black. “He also has a lot of fans on the Internet. The previous hot search had everyone showing their love for him. Liking him, it’s like they totally cannot see any of his flaws. How enviable.”

Wen Bo realised now. What Jiang Zimo had said earlier was all about Wen Mingyi.

He looked at his sweetheart and coaxed patiently, “That’s because they don’t know his true face at all. Once they get to know him, they wouldn’t like him anymore.”

“But you also said that the rest can’t see it.” Jiang Zimo took a bite of his steak and sighed. “I don’t know when everyone can see his true character. So many people like him, with only me not liking him, it makes me think as though I’m the one who’s wrong, the one who’s being annoying.”

“Of course not. Don’t overthink it. You have such a good temper, how could you be annoying? Don’t worry about Wen Mingyi. I have my own ways. No matter how many people like him now, they will eventually just hate him in the end. Just wait and watch.”

Jiang Zimo looked at him in puzzlement. “Will you be doing something?”

Wen Bo smiled. “Don’t worry, you eat first. You don’t need to worry about this.”

Jiang Zimo heard these words, so he didn’t ask any more, and resumed eating with a calmer mind.

Once the meal was over, Wen Bo sent Jiang Zimo back, and then he leaned on the seat of the car, thinking about Wen Mingyi. After a long time, he took out his cell phone and dialed a number.

Xu Jingjie was resting in a hotel when he heard his phone ring. He picked it up and glanced at the caller ID, slowly connecting the phone call.

“Why would Wen- shao 2 Like, Wen young master. call this number?” Xu Jingjie jested.

“Nothing much. Let’s meet for drinks two days later.”

“Sure,” Xu Jingjie replied. “Once Wen- shao has set a time, I’ll meet you.”

“Okay. By the way, aren’t you currently filming another drama called ‘Pet Romance’?”

“Correct.”

“There is a person named Wen Mingyi in your crew.”

Xu Jingjie “ en ”-ed. With a smile, he asked, “Is Wen- shao interested in him?”

Wen Bo chuckled lightly. “Are you kidding me? I’d be blind to be interested in this kind of person.”

“Then… it seems that he has offended you.”

Wen Bo lowered his head and smiled. “Jingjie, weren’t you talking about a movie with Director Zhang previously? This movie will be seeing some investment from me in it. You’ll be in it then.”

Xu Jingjie raised his eyebrows when he heard these words. There was no such thing as a free lunch in the world. Wen Bo had offered such a tempting offer, so his purpose was very clear. “You want me to teach Wen Mingyi a lesson for you?”

“That’s right.”

“Can I ask Wen- shao why you’re 3 Formal you not doing it yourself?”

“Just for him, is it worth doing it myself!” Wen Bo ridiculed. “What’s more, I’m not within your circle. Right now, you’re shooting a drama with him, so naturally, it is much more convenient for you.”

“He’s Zhaoyang’s person. This drama is Zhaoyang’s investment. Yan Feifei is also on the crew.”

“So?” Wen Bo questioned back. “Don’t worry, Zhaoyang won’t get back at you just for the sake of a newcomer. Besides, you are already a popular actor now. What are you afraid of? If you say that you, a big star, are afraid of this fledgling talent show singer, then Jingjie, it seems you’re indeed not suitable for Director Zhang’s play.”

Xu Jingjie’s attitude slowly relaxed at those words. “Wen- shao , don’t jest.”

“That’s more like it. Jingjie, don’t worry. The moment you’re done, I’ll settle Director Zhang’s movie for you. Besides, you are cooperating with Zhaoyang only this once, not again and again in the future. There’s no need to pay attention to Zhaoyang.”

“Alright.”

“I’ll be waiting for your good news.” Wen Bo finished speaking and hung up the phone.

Xu Jingjie sat on the sofa for a while before putting down his phone. When Shang Chengze had deliberately slandered Wen Mingyi in front of him, he’d been too lazy to be bothered. But when Shang Chengze was changed to Wen Bo, he couldn’t not take care of it.

Wen Bo’s words sounded in his mind. With a promise from Wen Bo, he could appear in Director Zhang’s movie. If he refused Wen Bo, it wouldn’t only be Wen Mingyi who had offended Wen Bo, but him too. Xu Jingjie couldn’t and didn’t dare offend the other. He only had one option left, to agree to Wen Bo’s request.

“Still young,” Xu Jingjie lamented, “and has already offended so many people. First Shang Chengze, and now even Wen Bo. He’ll have to pay the price.”

The assistant who was cutting fruits overheard him and raised his head. “Is it about Wen Mingyi? I heard that in the afternoon, he had directly confronted Shang Chengze. Him having this kind of personality really makes it easy to offend people.”

“Indeed. Teaching him now would be good for him.”

The assistant nodded. “Xu- ge , you’re right.”

Xu Jingjie put his phone aside, closed his eyes, and prepared to rest for a while. Before resting, he instructed his assistant, “Go and do a check on Wen Mingyi’s background.”

“Understood,” the assistant answered.

In the evening, Xu Jingjie received a report from his assistant.

Wen Mingyi. His parents were absent all year round, and he was fostered by a neighbor. When he was in his first year of high school, his relationship with the neighbor was rigid. His college examination’s results were good, as he came out as this year’s liberal arts top scorer, and he debuted as first place in the ‘Youth Flying’ show, signed with Zhaoyang, participating in ‘Pet Romance’.

His background wasn’t as bright as expected. The brightest thing should be simply the honor of being the ‘Liberal Arts Top Scorer’. But in the entertainment industry, it’s just an icing on the cake. As for the others, he didn’t have anything, even looking in detail made him seem so miserable. His current character might have been because there was no parental guidance, hence such an attitude. Entering into the entertainment circle should have been to make money.

Xu Jingjie was relieved. With this lackluster background, no matter what he did, there won’t be any consequences. The worst was that he’d offend Zhaoyang, but that could be ignored. Wen Bo was right. He was not always going to collaborate with Zhaoyang in every film. In this drama, Zhaoyang made Yan Feifei overpower him. Originally, he and his agent were already very dissatisfied. He had already considered not continuing this working relationship too.

He was relieved, so he instructed his assistant to head down, and calculate the killing of Wen Mingyi tomorrow morning.

At this time, Wen Mingyi did not know of anything, only gaped at the cat stick in Si Junduo’s hand with a dazed expression, as his cat eyes welled with puzzlement.

Si Junduo waved the cat stick in his hand. “The Internet says that cats like to play with this.”

The author has something to say:

And then he leapt into gege ‘s embrace!

Ming Ming: Kill me anytime. If you could kill my spirit, then it’d be my loss.
