Emotionally stable, but continuing to go crazy

After having their fill of food and drink, the two sat side by side, listening to the recorded file.

Li Jinhe frowned. As the boss of the same company, he was extremely dissatisfied with this way of communicating with his subordinates. When the recording was played to the end, his dissatisfaction finally turned into anger.

He tilted his head, tried his best to suppress his anger and asked Wei Zhe'an: "How long do you have for this company? Where is the contract?"

Wei Zhe'an also turned his head and responded in a calm tone: "It should be more than seven months, the contract should be in my luggage." He patted Li Jinhe's arm gently, trying to comfort him: "Brother, don't be angry. I won't withdraw from the competition."

Li Jinhe's anger did not subside. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and spoke again: "Do you know how much your penalty is?"

Wei Zhe'an half-jokingly replied, "Including the training fee, it's probably more than one million. Brother, you don't really want to confirm those rumors and become my financial backer, do you?"

Li Jinhe was not calmed down by the joke. He said firmly: "Well, just come and sign in with me." Then he prepared to take out his mobile phone to contact the bank to transfer the money.

Wei Zhe'an saw that Li Jinhe was serious, which was completely different from the previous time when he was angry. He tightly grasped Li Jinhe's forearm and said sincerely: "Brother Bie, don't be angry. No matter how rich you are, you can't give it to those people. I will wait until the contract is terminated naturally before I go to you, okay?"

Li Jinhe couldn't suppress his anger, but he still advised Wei Zhe'an in a gentle tone: "No, do you know what Wu Bingyuan wants to arrange for you to do? Seven months is too much of a hurdle, you must terminate the contract as soon as possible. I can help you pay the penalty. If you don't want to stay in this circle, like you said before, you can go to graduate school."

Wei Zhe'an looked at Li Jinhe, with a hint of determination in his eyes: "Brother, I know what he wants me to do. You have to believe that I have the ability to protect myself. I also want to draw a clear line with them as soon as possible, but I don't want to give them money either."

He paused and continued, "There are seven months left in the contract. I will be in the program group for two months, and then I will sign directly with Wenli Entertainment. Personal activities will only account for 30%. Brother, you believe that I can debut, and you will protect me, right?" He blinked mischievously, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.

Li Jinhe stared at Wei Zhe'an, and the anger in his heart gradually dissipated. Wei Zhe'an is an adult, and he should believe in his ability.

He reached out his hand and gently touched Wei Zhe'an's hair. He took a deep breath and said, "I believe in your ability, and I will do my best to protect you. I just don't want you to be trapped in such a dangerous environment. You know, this circle is not as glamorous as it seems. There are many dark places behind it. When I think about the possibility of you encountering those things... I can't stand it."

"No, brother. Believe me. I've never been at a disadvantage with my sharp tongue." Wei Zhe'an held his hand gently, with a determined light in his eyes.

Li Jinhe looked at him with a hint of smile in his eyes. He gently tapped Wei Zhe'an's forehead and said half-jokingly: "Haven't you suffered enough? You are strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and you only rely on your ability to talk."

Wei Zhe'an covered his forehead exaggeratedly, cried out "ouch ouch", trying to amuse Li Jinhe: "Brother, you protect me so much, how can I suffer any loss?"

Li Jinhe was finally amused by him. He shook his head and said in a serious tone, "Don't give me that. Do you have anything important left in your company? Where do you live when you're not on the show?"

Wei Zhe'an was caught off guard by the question, and he urgently contacted Seventeen in his mind.

Seventeen emerged leisurely from his virtual space, sat down on the table in front of him and answered slowly:

"The original character didn't have many personal belongings. I lived in the school dormitory before participating in the show. Later, I came directly to the show crew with my luggage. I had no other place to live. Only part of the luggage was temporarily placed in the company. Oh, by the way, your contract is also in the company."

Wei Zhe'an relayed the information provided by Shiqi to Li Jinhe, who nodded and said, "Go get the things back this afternoon, especially the contract. I'll take it back to the legal department to study it and see if we can terminate the contract early."

Wei Zhe'an agreed, but he was a little hesitant thinking about the distance between the two places. He didn't know Li Jinhe's schedule for the afternoon, so it was not easy to let him be the driver again. However, he himself had no money, so after weighing the pros and cons, he still spoke up: "Brother, can you lend me some money..."

Li Jinhe responded while arranging his afternoon work on his phone, "Of course." He raised his head and said, "I'll transfer it to you. Is fifty thousand enough?"

Wei Zhe'an waved his hands hurriedly: "No, no, no, I don't need that much, two hundred will be enough, I'll just use it to take a taxi..."

"Taking a taxi? I'll take you wherever you want to go." Li Jinhe said, opening the WeChat friend QR code and handing it to Wei Zhe'an, "Add WeChat."

Wei Zhe'an obediently scanned the QR code and added WeChat, explaining, "I'm afraid you'll be busy this afternoon, and I can't stick to you all the time. Go get your luggage. I'm thinking of taking a taxi and then going back to the base."

Li Jinhe shook his head slightly: "The work for the afternoon has been arranged, so I'd better take you there. I'm not too sure."

He slid his finger across the screen of his phone and continued, "You left in the morning while they were still not reacting. If you go back in the afternoon, I'm afraid they will detain you and not let you leave."

After that, he still transferred 50,000 yuan to Wei Zhe'an. Wei Zhe'an was so surprised that he stuttered: "Brother, I don't need so much money at the base. I just don't have money now. I will have money after I become a public official."

"Li Jinhe smiled and said, "There's still a week left. Take it first and return it to me when your money arrives." He insisted that Wei Zhe'an accept the money.

Wei Zhe'an looked at the large transfer on the mobile phone interface, a complex emotion surged in his heart, and his eyes couldn't help but feel slightly hot.

In his previous life, although his family was well-off, as a student, he had never received such a large sum of money in addition to the annual tuition. His parents were typical Asian parents who firmly believed that boys needed to experience hardships and setbacks, so they rarely expressed their concern for him directly.

In addition, he has a younger sister at home, so Wei Zhe'an has always played the role of protector and has not been cared for so gently for a long time.

Li Jinhe's unconditional trust and considerate care touched him deeply. It was like sweet honey flowing slowly into his heart and spreading throughout his body, making his fingertips slightly numb. He wanted to get closer to this person.

He has always been a person who expresses his emotions. At this moment, he looked at Li Jinhe with red eyes and whispered, "Brother."
