Emotionally stable, but continuing to go crazy

Xiao Meng smiled and nodded: "Yes, the boss is worried that Cashew might play tricks, so he asked me to help you keep an eye on it."

Hearing this, Wei Zhe'an felt a warm current in his heart. Although Li Jinhe rejected him, he still cared about him. This made him feel that his chances might not be slim.

"Then I'll trouble you," Wei Zhe'an said with a smile, "Will you follow the group?"

Xiao Meng nodded again: "Yes, the boss has already arranged it. As long as it is a notice from Cashew, I will help you review it first. As for the requirements of sponsors and advertisers, I will also help you review the contract terms."

Since this was at the entrance of the boys' dormitory, Xiao Meng could not stay for long. After a brief exchange of words, the two politely said goodbye.

The following week was the busiest week in Wei Zhe'an's talent show journey. As he was well-liked by advertisers, he shot a large number of promotional ads and posters. In addition, Li Jinhe also subsidized some funds privately and signed the contract, so that Wei Zhe'an quickly collected 300,000 yuan in income.

When Xiao Meng walked into Cashew Entertainment with a stack of promotional contracts, Qiu Weibing's face instantly turned ugly.

They originally planned to arrange a series of announcements for Wei Zhe'an, but they didn't expect that he had already taken the lead and completed most of the work.

Although part of the contract has not been fulfilled due to Wei Zhe'an's foot injury, due to the guarantee of the program team, the brands expressed their trust and deposited the funds into the designated account.

Xiao Meng slammed the bank card on the table and said firmly: "We have fulfilled all obligations according to the terms of the contract, and your company should terminate the contract as soon as possible as agreed."

Qiu Weibing knew it all by now. He had originally intended to use the terms of the contract to force Wei Zhe'an to participate in certain activities, but he did not expect the other party to act so quickly. It was obvious that he was well prepared. Both parties knew this clause when they signed it, and they were using each other, but he did not expect Wei Zhe'an to take action so quickly.

Qiu Weibing agreed to Xiao Meng's request with a gloomy face, and was extremely unhappy with Wei Zhe'an's use of the treaty. He hurriedly sent Xiao Meng away and began to think about how to continue his plan.

-------------------------------

In the height of August, the heat is like a thick spider web that binds people tightly and makes them suffocate.

Tong Yang and others were popular candidates in the show and were also the focus of the brand. After a morning of shooting, they walked to the cafeteria while chatting and laughing. Only Wei Zhe'an was in a low mood and was not involved in their topic.

Tong Yang and others had already noticed something was wrong with Wei Zhe'an. He had been listless since he came back from the company. They asked him several times tentatively, but Wei Zhe'an always glossed over it, so they didn't ask too much.

Cao Fei livened up the atmosphere, gesticulating and saying, "It's because our previous practice wasn't intense enough. Look, the shoot these past few days was so rushed and tiring, but everyone is in better spirits. Even An An doesn't throw a tantrum over meals anymore." He patted Wei Zhe'an's wheelchair, trying to get him to join the conversation.

But Wei Zhe'an did not respond to Cao Fei's words, and even seemed not to hear what he said at all.

He stared solemnly in the direction of the base entrance, only to see Li Jinhe's car parked there steadily.

He witnessed Li Jinhe and a female student walking out of the administrative building side by side, and the girl's behavior seemed particularly close to Li Jinhe.

Li Jinhe did not reject this kind of closeness, but talked to her with an indulgent and gentle smile. The two then walked straight to the car, and Li Jinhe opened the door for the girl in a gentlemanly manner and carefully covered the roof for her with his hands.

Wei Zhe'an and Li Jinhe haven't spoken a word to each other this week.

Although they are in the same program crew, they seem to live in two parallel worlds and there is no chance for them to meet face to face.

Wei Zhe'an could only watch him silently from a distance. The comfort he once felt in his heart had now become pale and powerless.

He once told himself that it was because they were both too busy with work, and there was still a long way to go. As long as the contract was signed smoothly as planned, they would have plenty of time to spend together in the future. But now, the scene before him had shaken his certainty.

Who was that girl? Why had he never seen Li Jinhe so close to other girls before? He even kept a certain distance from his own sister. Did he find a girlfriend specifically to stop Wei Zhe'an from thinking about her?

Wei Zhe'an stared blankly at their departing backs. The scorching sun in mid-August was scorching the earth mercilessly. It seemed as if even the air was trembling and filled with rolling heat waves.

Looking up, the sky was deep blue, without a trace of clouds. The buildings in the distance looked hazy and far away under the sunlight.

Although he should feel the bright sunshine, Wei Zhe'an's eyes were full of bitterness. He kept telling himself that it was natural for Li Jinhe to have friends, and he was not the kind of person who didn't know how to respect girls...

However, his inner speculations grew like weeds, and his thoughts became more and more outrageous. Finally, he withdrew his gaze, lowered his head, and tried his best to prevent tears from overflowing from his eyes, but his heart was filled with subtle pain.

Tong Yang really cared about Wei Zhe'an, and he was worried that he was being burned by the scorching sun.

So, he took the wheelchair from Zhou Hongyi, not only sped up, but also urged others: "It's so hot, why are you chatting in the sun? Have you guys applied sunscreen? Ah Fei, hurry up!"

At Yang Ma's order, the few people stopped playing and fighting, and obediently quickened their pace to enter the cafeteria.

Xu Wenbin looked towards the entrance of the base, but could only vaguely see the rear of Li Jinhe's car. An idea flashed through his mind, but he didn't say it out loud, and just hurried to catch up with the main group.

Wei Zhe'an was in a very heavy mood, with no smile on his face. His meals were prepared in advance by the canteen auntie, and he found a secluded corner and ate in silence.

Tong Yang had been paying attention to his actions. He observed the boys who were eating and laughing, and after making sure that they didn't notice him, he put down his plate and walked towards Wei Zhe'an.

"An'an." Tong Yang called softly and sat next to Wei Zhe'an. Wei Zhe'an raised his head, looked at Tong Yang, tried to force a smile, and asked: "Why didn't you go to get food?"

Tong Yang frowned slightly, his eyes revealing concern: "You...is your company still putting pressure on you?"
