rebirth retreat

When Gu De knocked on the door of Yan Dongting's office, Yan Dongting was sitting at a large desk, busy processing documents.Knowing that he came in, Yan Dongting only raised his head and glanced at him lightly, then lowered his head again.

Walking to the table anxiously, Gude called out: "Boss Yan, are you looking for me?"

Without raising his head, Yan Dongting said calmly, "Go sit on the sofa and wait for me. The things on the table over there are for you."

Goode squeezed his sweaty palms, let out a hey, and walked towards the sofa by the French windows.

Sitting down on the sofa, Gude picked up the document that Yan Dongting had placed on the coffee table, opened it and looked at it.After seeing what was written inside, he was so startled that he almost jumped up from his chair, and suddenly looked up at the person sitting not far away.

On the way to the company, Gude imagined countless possibilities that Yan Dongting would be eager to see him as soon as he came back. He was even ready to be questioned by Xingshi, but who knew that Yan Dongting was so anxious to call him Come, you want to terminate the contract with him!

Goode's hand holding the termination agreement trembled a little.

Why?Is it because he knew he was not Gu Liuguang, so he thought he was an eyesore and wanted to kick him off?

However, when he remembered that such a big incident happened to Dongtian, only he and several famous artists were still safe and sound, Gude felt that this should not be the case.

If Gu Jie really wanted to plot against Yan Dongting, he felt that even "Gu Liuguang" would not be spared, but now he has not been affected by the incident at all. He can only say that Yan Dongting must have done something to protect him.Otherwise, based on "Gu Liuguang"'s family background, he will definitely become the hottest one in the news headlines.

Slowly calming down, Gude looked at Yan Dongting with deep meaning in his eyes.

Mr. Yan, he did this... What is his intention?

After 10 minutes, Yan Dongting finally finished the work at hand temporarily, got up and walked towards Gude.

He is tall and straight, with a stern and serious expression, even with a sickly face, he can give people an invisible feeling of oppression.

Sitting down opposite Gude, Yan Dongting looked at what Gude was holding in his hand, and asked, "Have you finished reading it?"

Goode said: "It's over."

Yan Dongting said: "I ask you two questions, you must answer me well."

Goode nodded and replied, "You ask."

"What happened to the company, what do you think about being an artist?" Yan Dongting asked.

Gu De breathed a sigh of relief, he thought that Yan Dongting would question him about Gu Liuguang and the U disk, but he didn't.Gathering his mind, he began to think about this question.After a while, he considered his words carefully and replied cautiously:

"Except for the aura that is added to them, I found that artists seem to be no different from employees of ordinary companies, and they will be affected and restrained by the company." Goode said, his eyes could not help but put his eyes on the documents in his hand , There is an idea in my heart that is ready to come out.

Yan Dongting showed approval, and said kindly, "Continue."

Gu De clenched his hands, and said: "The company prospers, the artist prospers, and the company dies..." He suddenly raised his head to look at Yan Dongting, and shouted: "Mr. Yan!"

Yan Dongting asked again: "The second question, do you remember all the people I brought you to meet on the day you were discharged from the hospital?"

Good paused for a few seconds, then nodded with difficulty: "I remember."

"Very good," Yan Dongting said, "the pen is at the side, sign it."

"May I ask why?" Goode asked.

"You don't need to ask why, you just need to sign." Yan Dongting said flatly.

"I can't sign it." Gude quickly put down the termination agreement in his hand and stood up, "Mr. Yan, I—" He took a deep breath and said, "I can't sign it! Because... I am not Gu Liuguang at all. .”

Yan Dongting was silent for a while, then said in a deep voice, "I know."

Gu De said: "What happened in Dongtian these days was deliberately designed to frame you!"

"I know."

Gu De said: "But Liu Guang didn't do all of this. He didn't intend to harm you, and neither did I!"

"……I know."

"Since you know everything, why do you still want to terminate the contract with me? And it's still at this time?" Gude's tone was a little anxious, his eyes were tightly locked on Yan Dongting, as if he wanted to recognize something from his face.

Goode's straightforward character made Yan Dongting feel a little powerless. He raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brows, and lowered his voice: "You should know what I did to Liu Guang before."

"...Yes, he told me everything." Good paused and replied.

"So, you can stay away from me, shouldn't you be happy for him?" When Yan Dongting said this, his face was tired.

Goode was stunned.Yeah, shouldn't it be a great joy to be able to stay away from this "bastard"?But... Seeing Yan Dongting and Dongtian become like this is not what he wants to see.Even though he was on Gu Liuguang's side, he didn't really hate the person in front of him, and even... even respected him inexplicably.

"President Yan." After standing still for a long time, Gude finally spoke, "I'm not Gu Liuguang, so I don't hate you."

Yan Dongting gave a light grace, with an unusually calm expression.

"I used to hate you a bit, but during the days when I was 'Gu Liuguang', you have always taken good care of me, arranging everything for me and meeting all my needs." Thinking back to what happened in the past few months Goode said, "From the transfer to the discharge, and even now that there is such a crisis in Dongtian, you are protecting me and helping me."

"Of course, I also know that you did all this for the name 'Gu Liuguang'." Gude sighed softly, "For the termination of the contract, if you have your intentions, I hope you can tell me why. Otherwise, I wouldn't have signed it. I, Gude, am not the kind of person who would run away selfishly."

Yan Dongting's face seemed to be touched, and he was silent for a long time before he said, "Sit down."

Gude felt relieved and sat down on the sofa.

"Do you still remember how I introduced Bai Shiqian to you?" Yan Dongting asked.

Goode nodded: "The actor of the past, the director and producer of today."

"En." Yan Dongting said, "In our industry, there will always be endless newcomers and endless films, and the speed of replacement is very fast. Dongtian alone, every newcomer dug and cultivated by every agent every year There are quite a few of them, but there are not many who can really bring it up and become popular, and even fewer who can reach the heights like Bai Shiqian."

"Liuguang has a strong temper, and because of my relationship, he has become extremely distrustful of people, so his path is not easy." Yan Dongting smiled, "But, he is actually a very hardworking and serious person. Many times, in order to fight for my breath, he will do it no matter how difficult it is.”

"Seven years later, he finally succeeded in taking off the crown of actor." It was a very happy thing, but Yan Dongting looked a little lonely when he recalled it, "It was achieved by his own hard work, but he believed it." Those people think that the award was arranged by me."

Gude's nose was sour, and he wanted to cry inexplicably.

"After the Birch Award ended, I really couldn't think of any way to push him forward. So, I went to the United States to look for cooperation opportunities. But before I came back from the United States, that happened." Yan Dongting looked at Goode and said slowly, "I was very relieved when you told me that you wanted to go on for Liuguang, win more awards, and stand higher and farther."

Finally, Liu Guang doesn't need him to worry about it, and he doesn't need to work hard to make everything work out, that's great, isn't it?

"Yes, you are not him. You have your own goals and ambitions, so I shouldn't keep you by my side anymore. You have the title of actor, money, enthusiasm, and connections. Sign it and go out on your own Be independent, be a person like Bai Shiqian, I believe you can."

Gude quickly said: "But, I don't know anything, I'm just a student who hasn't graduated after all!"

Yan Dongting said, "Tang Qian is here."

Goode froze.Tang Qian?

"You can let Liu Guang teach you how to act and how to sing. Liu Guang trusts you and relies on you. If he wants to return to this circle, you can take him along." Yan Dongting said, "I have thought about letting you The two form a group, with your popularity, you can bring him up, you can consider giving it a try."

Goode clenched his fists and said, "So, you made up your mind to let me go, didn't you?"

"Yes."

"What about Dongtian? Will he really fall down? And that woman—" Goode asked worriedly.

"With me here, Dongtian will be fine." Yan Dongting said, "I will deal with her too, so that she won't bother you and Liu Guang."

"Boss Yan..."

"Sign it." Yan Dongting said wearily.

Goode struggled in his heart for a long time, and finally picked up a pen and signed the agreement.Looking at the handwriting that was completely different from Gu Liuguang's, Yan Dongting's eyes flashed with pain.

"From now on, treat yourself as Gu Liuguang and live well for him," he said.

"it is good."

"Go out of this door and forget what I told you today."

"……it is good."

"When you go back, if you meet a reporter, don't reveal the matter of leaving Dongtian. Two days later, I will take the initiative to mention it at Dongtian's press conference."

"……it is good."

"I will send you the contact information of everyone at the banquet that day. It will be good for you to keep in touch with them. If Liu Guang is willing, take him along."

"Okay." Goode whispered.After a pause, he asked again, "If there is anything I don't understand, can I come and ask you for advice?"

Yan Dongting froze for a moment, then nodded: "Yes."

"President Yan, I'm sorry." Gu De said apologetically, "I shouldn't have thrown away the amulet you gave me that day. I was wrong."

"It's okay." Yan Dongting smiled, "I don't blame you."

Gude didn't dare to stay here any longer, he hurriedly got up and said, "Then, Mr. Yan, I'm leaving."

"En." Yan Dongting replied lightly.

Goode took the contract termination agreement, turned around and walked out quickly.When the door was closed, he couldn't help but look inside again.Yan Dongting was still sitting in that position, looking at the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling windows silently with his head turned sideways, his eyes full of despair.

With a "click", accompanied by unexplained regret, Goode gently closed the heavy door.
