first love is a substitute

That night Guan Qing couldn't sleep for some reason, he lay on the bed tossing and turning, his mind was full of Tao Xuan's shadow.

During this period of time, he resisted not going to see Tao Xuan, but he didn't have the mind to go out to play like before. He also knew that his state was quite dangerous, but this kind of thing wasn't something he wouldn't think about if he didn't want to. .

He lay on the bed with his eyes closed for most of the night, and when it was almost dawn, he finally couldn't help taking the mobile phone on the bedside table and turning it on.

However, before he could think clearly about what he wanted to do, a piece of news suddenly popped up.

"Tao Xuan and his old club Huanxing Entertainment openly fought."

Guan Qing's heart trembled inexplicably, and his mind cleared up instantly. He immediately called Tao Xuan's cell phone. This was the first time he called Tao Xuan's cell phone in a while, but Tao Xuan's cell phone was turned off.

It was still around five o'clock in the morning, and most people hadn't woken up yet, so not many people had seen the news.

Guan Qing felt that his chest was inexplicably congested. He couldn't tell what mood he was in at the moment, but he just wanted to see that person urgently.

City B in the early morning was still slightly shrouded in mist, Guan Qing thought for a while, and drove directly to Tao Xuan's house.

Guan Qing looked up to look for the window, and sure enough, he saw a light on there.

He went upstairs without a moment's hesitation, but there was no answer to his long knocking at the door.

Guan Qing became anxious. He was clearly in the house, but he refused to open the door for him. Guan Qing hated and was anxious, but he had no choice but to go back downstairs and rely on his car to order a car. He smoked a cigarette, looked up, and saw that the window was still lit at the moment.

Guan Qing pinched out the cigarette in his hand irritably, and was thinking about how to get Tao Xuan to open the door, when suddenly someone called him.

"Mr. Guan?"

Guan Qing turned around in response, and found that it was Qin Mu, Tao Xuan's manager.

Guan Qing saw that he was wearing a hood and carrying a big bag of food, he should have just returned from a nearby supermarket.

"Mr. Guan... came to find Xiaotao?"

Guan Qing nodded.

Qin Mu couldn't help but sighed, "Mr. Guan...you came here because you saw the news on the Internet and were worried about Xiao Tao?"

A while ago, Guan Qing had often shown his face in front of this person, so Qin Mu automatically classified Guan Qing as Tao Xuan's "friend".

"What exactly is going on?"

Qin Mu temporarily put the convenience bag in his hand on the ground, and then said, "It's not like what was said on the Internet at all, but the company's senior management forced Xiao Tao to accompany someone, and Xiao Tao didn't like it, so the two sides had a stalemate."

Guan Qing exploded when he heard the word "accompany someone", "Which bastard?!"

Qin Mu was startled by Guan Qing's suddenly raised voice, and it took a long while before he uttered a name in Guan Qing's ear.

Guan Qing recited the name silently, couldn't help but touched another cigarette, thought for a while, and then said to Qin Mu, "Take him to your house, he will be discovered by reporters sooner or later, you can't hide like this, first Don't respond to anything, wait for me for two days."

Qin Mu was taken aback by Guan Qing's words of "one of his own people", but he nodded quickly, after all, the two are good friends.

After Guan Qing explained, he let Qin Mu go upstairs, and he didn't have time to worry about why Tao Xuan didn't want to open the door for him, so he got in the car and called Gao Jun.

……

Before opening the door, Qin Mu looked carefully at the surrounding environment, and then opened the door. Tao Xuan was still in the same posture he had when he went out, even wearing the suit he wore last night, sitting motionless on the sofa, looking at the whole person. It looks downcast.

Tao Xuan raised his head to look towards the door when he heard the sound, Qin Mu took out the food in the bag and handed it to him, "I haven't eaten all night, let's eat some."

Tao Xuan seemed to react for a while before he came back to his senses, then nodded and took the things in Qin Mu's hands, but felt that it was tasteless to eat.

Qin Mu could actually understand Tao Xuan's mood at the moment.

He has been Tao Xuan's manager since he entered Huanxing Entertainment, and he has watched Tao Xuan step by step from a small [-]th-tier star to today's level. Tao Xuan has been in the circle for so many years. , has always been tolerant, but what happened last night was so unexpected that Tao Xuan, who had always been tolerant and silent, did not hesitate to publicly resist.

In fact, when the matter got to this level, both of them knew in their hearts that Tao Xuan's contract had not yet expired, but now he had a quarrel with the company. If he didn't want to be hidden by the company, the best way was to terminate the contract, but the termination of the contract was faced with a huge amount of money. liquidated damages.

This is the step I try not to go to, but... if there is really no way out, this is the only way to go.

"Clean up and go to my house."

Tao Xuan raised his head to look at him upon hearing the words, was silent for a moment and then nodded.

It's almost dawn, and this matter is about to ferment on the Internet.

※※※

As expected, Tao Xuan's news quickly exploded on the Internet at dawn.

Tao Xuan's cell phone had already been turned off, and Qin Mu's cell phone was also ringing non-stop, hanging up the phone constantly, dealing with those difficult reporters.

At this moment, he was very glad that Guan Qing's suggestion he followed had been transferred to his home, otherwise those reporters must have blocked him at the door of Tao Xuan's house.

The two of them stayed at home in such despair for most of the day, until Tang Yue's phone call finally reached Qin Mu's cell phone after several twists and turns.

At this moment, no matter who it is, Tao Xuan and Qin Mu are like life-saving straws. Therefore, when Tang Yue and Gao Jun walked in, Tao Xuan's tense mood for a day finally got over. Total release.

After a brief reassurance from the other party, he revealed the real purpose of coming here.

"Mr. Tao, on behalf of Gao's Entertainment, I would like to invite you to cooperate." Gao Jun put his arms around Tang Yue and looked at Tao Xuan with a smile.

It is difficult for Tao Xuan to describe his feelings at that moment. He always felt that all his luck had disappeared at the moment of his mother's death. In the past ten years, he has never lived by luck, so he has long forgotten This is the taste.

But in such a difficult situation, someone was willing to lend a helping hand to him regardless of conditions, he was indeed stunned for a long time.

"Does Gao always help me out of Tang Yue's face?" Tao Xuan knew that he was a hot potato now, so it seemed impossible for Gao Jun to help him because of his commercial value.

Gao Jun hooked the corner of his mouth, and replied, "Although he really wanted to show off his face, unfortunately, someone has already taken the lead."

※※※

It was almost a matter of course that he signed a contract with Gao's Entertainment just one day after he publicly broke up with Huanxing Entertainment.

The efficiency of Gao's Entertainment is the same as that of Gao Jun himself. In just a few days, Gao's Entertainment, as Tao Xuan's agent, publicly made the simplest statement about the matter between Huanxing Entertainment and Tao Xuan. And produced enough evidence.

Sure enough, within a few days, Huanxing Entertainment gave up its claim for Tao Xuan's compensation.

A vigorous tearing battle ended with Huanxing Entertainment's dismal ending, and Tao Xuan's fans were overjoyed, saying that his idol was a blessing in disguise this time.

Not only did he get rid of that garbage company, Huanxing Entertainment, but he also re-signed Gao, which can be called a huge leap forward for Tao Xuan's career.

After all, a small company like Huanxing can't compare with Gao's, and Tao Xuan's stardom is very open.

Tao Xuan's fans began to thank Tang Yue, the "Gao's proprietress", for helping Tao Xuan when Tao Xuan was in trouble, but Tao Xuan couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw the messages of these little fans.

He still remembered what Gao Jun said at Qin Mu's house that day. Although the words were cryptic, they couldn't be more clear.

The person who sold face was Guan Qing.

……

In fact, he heard it when Guan Qing knocked on his door that morning, and knew that the person was standing outside the door at this moment. At that time, he actually hoped that someone would come to give him some comfort, even if there was no comfort, just It's good to be with him.

However, he somehow didn't want that person to be Guan Qing.

For some reason, he just didn't want that person to see his depressed side.

Thinking of this, Tao Xuan couldn't help but shook his head, driving those messy thoughts out of his mind.

In any case, Guan Qing contributed to his success in getting rid of Huanxing Entertainment this time. Even if he didn't want to have anything to do with Tao Xuan, at least he should say "thank you" to Tao Xuan face to face.

When Tao Xuan called, Guan Qing was already waiting at home almost desperately.

He expected that according to Tao Xuan's personality, he would thank himself after the matter subsided, so he waited eagerly day by day, and those days seemed like years.

Seeing that it had been a week, but Tao Xuan didn't make any movement, he almost couldn't help himself to go to the door to ask for a reward, when Tao Xuan finally called.

Guan Qing restrained himself from being so excited that he was about to jump up, and waited for a few seconds before the phone rang before answering the phone pretending not to care.

"Hello..." Guan Qing's voice sounded lazy, and he really pretended to be like that.

"Mr. Guan, are you home?" Tao Xuan on the phone was as cold as usual.

Guan Qing snorted lightly from his nose as an answer.

"Excuse me, it's really nothing, but last time Mr. Gao said that you helped me a lot when I terminated the contract with Huanxing. I don't know if you are free. I would like to treat you to a meal and thank you in person."

Guan Qing regained his energy all of a sudden, but what he said to the other end of the phone was duplicity, "Oh, that's it, it's easy to do, you don't have to keep it in mind."

Tao Xuan on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, and seemed to chuckle lightly, "Mr. Guan is busy?"

Guan Qing was choked by him, and finally stopped pretending, "Could it be that not yet."

"Then let's meet at Arbor Restaurant at six o'clock?"

"...Well, okay."

Guan Qing seemed to agree reluctantly, but as soon as he hung up the phone, he quickly got up from the sofa, quickly went to the bathroom to take a shower, and then changed several sets of clothes in front of the mirror in the cloakroom. He combed his hair and sprayed perfume, almost like a young boy on a first date.

Then, he got into his most flamboyant car and went out.

Guan Qing originally thought that he would arrive first, but he did not expect that Tao Xuan was already waiting there when he walked into the restaurant.

Seeing him coming, Tao Xuan stood up politely to greet him with a polite smile on his face. For some reason, when Guan Qing saw the smile on his face, his good mood along the way disappeared.

He hated Tao Xuan smiling at him like that.

"Mr. Guan, what would you like to order?"

Guan Qing took the menu handed over by the waiter and was not in the mood to look at it at all. He simply said "same as him" and returned it to the waiter.

The waiter was stunned for a moment, obviously feeling the displeasure in Guan Qing's tone, but he was well-trained after all, smiled slightly, replied "Okay, please wait a moment", and left the table.

Tao Xuan and Guan Qing were the only ones left in the seat. Guan Qing was silent and Tao Xuan broke the silence with a smile.

"Mr. Guan, thank you for your help with this incident..."

"How are you going to thank me?" Before Tao Xuan finished speaking, Guan Qing suddenly interrupted him. Point disintegrates.

Tao Xuan was silent for a while, and then he didn't hide any more, and showed an incomparably bright smile to Guan Qing, "What do you think, Mr. Guan?"

Guan Qing chuckled, and said cruelly, "Since Tao Daxing wants to repay me so much, how about fulfilling my wish and giving me the last time?"
