Bright Throne

"You two are too careless." Ji Hangfeng looked at his eyes with some reproach, and poked his finger on the magazine, "Look at the angle of this capture, don't say you are real, even if it is fake I’m afraid I’ll believe it when I see it.”

Qin Yi took a few glances and didn't pay any more attention. He put his legs on the tea table, put his arms on his pillow and said disapprovingly: "If you see it, you will see it. Anyway, we are indeed dating, and it's not something shameful. I didn’t make his belly big, and I didn’t destroy his family, so there’s nothing to be surprised about.”

Hearing this, Ji Hangfeng almost sprayed him to death with a sip of salt soda: "My lord, this is malicious slander, not an emotional reading! Even if you are a woman, this is a scandal, let alone you are a big man, you Do you know that you have received so many powerful advertising endorsement contracts because you have always appeared in people's field of vision with a masculine and wild image, which meets their expectations for image endorsements. But now?"

"It's fine if you're a female model. Anyway, there are not many in this circle who can maintain the image of pure and beautiful women, but if you are labeled as... that kind of label, alas, this is the country. It’s not a foreign country with an open atmosphere!”

"Once this kind of negative scandal comes out, who cares what your real situation is? There are so many people watching the fun, it's not a big deal. The image of hard work before was wiped out! It's only the second day, and it's already been a few years ago. Advertisers who were interested in cooperating made excuses and refused."

Qin Yi raised his eyelids and glanced at him, pulled out his ears, and said: "Just ignore it, those gossip magazines are not full of this cheating and that pornographic photo all day long, and I haven't seen a few celebrities being beaten to this extent. It's a slump."

"If it's just a simple lace revelation, I'm lucky. I'm afraid it's not that simple." Ji Hangfeng said worriedly, "In theory, although you have a high exposure rate now, you haven't reached the level of being so popular. Being stalked by the Yuji paparazzi every day, I'm afraid that someone will deliberately target you behind your back..."

"There is another possibility, that it is Pei Hanrui who was really targeted, and you are just lying on the ground." Ji Hangfeng touched his chin and analyzed seriously. Once he opened the chat box, he began to chatter endlessly, "This possibility It’s highly sexual, think about it, NL only established a branch in the country in the first half of the year, and just now it’s gaining momentum, and immediately there was a scandal with the senior leadership, which is quite detrimental to the image of the new company... By the way, I heard that they Recently, we are preparing for the listing, and the timing of this incident is too coincidental."

Listening to Lao Ji's conspiracy theory, Qin Yi couldn't help frowning slightly: "Does it have that much influence on him? There are many models who have had affairs with him..."

More than just "many", there are many wax figures in private collections alone, and those who are not qualified to be made into wax figures...

Qin Yi squatted on the sofa, unconsciously digging at the sofa cushion with his toes, thinking sourly in his heart.

"They are all women, can it be the same now?" Ji Hangfeng looked at him anxiously and said, "I don't know if he has played with men, but at least there are no such rumors on the table, and he used to be there all the time Staying in France, the fashion circle over there is much more inclusive than in China. Besides, it’s fine if you don’t get discovered. Now that you’ve been exposed to the public, you’re bound to be pointed at. I advise you to avoid it recently. good."

Seeing that Qin Yi didn't say a word, and didn't know how much he listened to, Ji Hangfeng sighed, patted him on the shoulder, and persuaded him earnestly: "In short, I will investigate this matter. Even if you don't care about other people's You should also consider the impact on your future and career.”

Qin Yi opened the milk jug on the table, inserted the straw, and nodded vaguely: "Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion."

Ji Hangfeng, who originally thought it was just an accident and would be fine in a few days after the limelight had passed, turned livid with anger in the face of one after another more explosive reports.The pictures and texts of those reports match, and what they say looks good. It is absolutely impossible for them to be photographed by chance. Now a fool can see that someone has deliberately followed the two for a long time to collect so many details. data of.

Moreover, the other party's method of breaking the news is quite clever, not revealing all at once, but hanging on to the appetite of gossip magazines and readers for novelty, revealing a little bit every day, and continuing to hype.

Thanks to this guy, Qin also became completely "popular" overnight - of course not because of his own excellence.

What made Ji Hang's teeth itch even more was that this "insider" behind the scenes kept his information strictly hidden. With such experience, he probably did many similar things.

Paris, France, Champs Elysees.

On this long and famous avenue, countless international famous companies, luxurious hotels, first-class luxury goods, banks, and consortiums gather here.The well-crafted cultural landscapes and solemn and elegant Ottoman buildings on both sides combine the modern artistic style with the classical sentiment, just like the successful people at the top of this pyramid, solemn, calm, elegant, romantic, and engraved in the bones Superior and perfect.

This building located in the west section of the Champs is the headquarters of Shixin News Agency, a heavyweight French media company spanning the Internet and paper media. Its "VOCO" is one of the most authoritative magazines in the fashion industry. The influence even spread abroad.

At dusk, the brilliant rays of the setting sun cover the whole street with a layer of golden red light without hindrance, and the big sycamore trees on both sides occasionally drop golden leaves, even in the colder late autumn, the enthusiasm of passers-by is not diminished in the slightest. Enthusiasm, and bustling noise.

In front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows on the top floor, some people appreciate the scenery day after day.The man wears a custom-made expensive suit, and obviously wears a tie, but he wants to unbutton the top collar button. The arm holding the goblet is slanted, revealing a silver men's wrist watch on the wrist. Simple style , restrained, luxurious, the pursuit of quality.

Behind him, a Chinese man in his 40s stood respectfully, and clearly reported to him what he wanted to know in recent days.

After a while, the assistant's report was interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Come in." There were two knocks on the door, and the man turned the wine glass in his hand and responded casually.

"Chairman, what you want. The latest news of the past two days is here." The beautiful female secretary brushed her golden curly hair on her shoulders, and put a stack of documents wrapped in kraft paper on the desk.

Only then did the man turn around. His appearance was typical of Asian descent, and he was over middle-aged, but he did not show any signs of aging. His eyes glanced lightly, but he could not see any joy or anger. The secretary immediately lowered his head and did not dare to talk to him. They looked at each other, not daring to have any other thoughts, and immediately retreated after asking for instructions.

His appearance is [-]% similar to Pei Hanrui's. Compared with his calm and steady, Pei Mingze looks more dignified and solemn. The fine lines at the end of his eyes are slightly narrowed, which shows the arrogance of the years.

The man walked slowly to the table, took out the investigation materials from the paper bag and flipped through them, his long eyebrows gradually furrowed as he looked back.The assistant still stood aside respectfully, silently not saying a word.

Throwing the information back on the table, Pei Mingze dialed a number with a calm face, and within a moment, someone knocked on the office door.

"Chairman Pei, are you calling me?"

The visitor was also an Asian man, but quite young, wearing a camel-colored long windbreaker and casual trousers, which are also famous brands in China, but they look a bit shabby in a place like the Champs.He was tall and thin, but under his humble demeanor there was a sense of aloofness and pride.

If Qin Yi was here, I'm afraid he would be surprised. This person is Xia He who has had trouble with him many times and has been ruined by him more than once.

Pei Mingze scrutinized each other up and down, and after a long while, he pointed at the paper bag on the table, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure that everything inside is true?"

The man's eyes were firmly fixed on his body like a light on his back. Xia He photographed the oppressive eyes, and some tiny beads of sweat unconsciously appeared on his forehead. He restrained his urge to wipe the sweat, and forced Scalp nodded and said: "It's absolutely true, I believe that you, Mr. Pei, will not listen to my one-sided words. You will definitely send someone to investigate again. If the facts are not as good as what I said, you will not call me here now."

"Young man, you are very confident." Pei Mingze sat behind the desk, crossed his legs, rested his chin on his crossed fingers, and said solemnly, "But excessive self-confidence may not be a good thing. You tell me this, want to start from What do I get here? This is not happy news, and I may not give you anything."

"Hehe, I have achieved my goal by letting you know about this." Xia He pulled out a stiff and weird smile, "If there is nothing else, I will leave first and leave."

Watching Xia He leave, the assistant frowned. He has followed Pei Mingze for many years, and he knows everything about his business and personal affairs.He glanced at his immediate superior, and saw that the other party closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, and couldn't help but say: "Dong Pei, I have also checked the identity and background of this Xia He, he obviously wants to borrow this scandal on purpose." Suppressing that Mr. Qin Yi, but still dragging Pei Shao into the water, his intentions are really disgusting."

Pei Mingze slowly opened his eyes, glanced at him, and said, "In Pingshi, he is just a villain, and his capacity will only be at this level forever, so don't pay attention to him. But this matter... that kid has been It's becoming more and more outrageous, when he insisted on returning to China, he thought he had great ambitions, but he didn't expect that he didn't achieve much, and even made some scandals that didn't make it to the stage, so many people were waiting to see his jokes."

Jiao Pingshi smiled and persuaded: "Young Master Pei has always been flirtatious, it's just for fun, he should know how to measure—"

"Know how to measure? It's fine to play with young models, but to imitate those naughty playboys?" Pei Mingze raised his voice and frowned displeasedly. But some deep-rooted concepts are still conservative.

"He's not young anymore, when will he be big if he continues to play like this? I asked him to come back to meet the daughter of the Macaulay family before, and every time he made excuses to refuse, if he really focused on his career, that's all. What is this male model named Qin Yi?!"

"Then, how is Dong Pei going to deal with this matter?" Jiao Pingshi wisely avoided the topic, and the topic came back again.

Pei Mingze took out the page with Qin Yi's information from the table, squinted his eyes and pondered for a moment, then said coldly: "Now these models are trying their best to go astray, and even men are starting to imitate those shameless women. Like words! You go back to China as soon as possible and take a trip for me, contact our domestic media, teach this person a lesson, and let him know that not everyone can climb up."

Jiao Pingshi hesitated and said: "If you do this, Shao Pei..."

"Hmph." Pei Mingze's face darkened, and he uttered a low voice from his chest. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced past the other person's face. The latter was startled, realized that he was talking too much, and hurriedly nodded and said, "I know what to do. .”

Just when Ji Hangfeng was busy with Qin Yi's scandal, unexpectedly, the development of the matter became more and more uncontrollable.

Overnight, the entertainment sections of various newspapers and magazines, gossip tabloids following the trend, and Internet trolls all seemed to have made an appointment, and they all began to target Qin Yi and pour dirty water on him. , there is no dirty word, but the words between the lines are extremely humiliating, insisting on describing him as a "duck" who is stalking and selling his body and soul for money and fame. Some people even reported exactly how much he was kept. 100 million—the liquidated damages for leaving TD.

In such overwhelming abuse and ridicule, there were occasional accusations against Pei Hanrui, but most of them were innocuous jokes, which were quickly drowned in saliva.It seems that in people's eyes, if the rich and powerful support a starlet, it is called romantic and fashionable, and if the status is weak, it is called shameless.

After all, this society is like this, laughing at the poor but not laughing at the prostitutes.

These negative influences were soon involved in Qin Yi's work. Not only were the two commercials at hand forced to terminate, but the other party even had to pay liquidated damages to temporarily replace people. There was also the previous EVO snow off-road commercial. The advertisement cannot be replaced, and most of the outdoor planes have been replaced. It seems that only NL is the only partner that has not acted yet, and this has been confirmed by the good people from the side. The authenticity of this scandal.

The ups and downs of human feelings are vividly reflected. Even Qin Yi's boss, Tianlu, after making a few innocuous statements, fell silent for some reason. It was completely Xuezang's attitude, Ji Hangfeng was also helpless for a while besides being angry.

Not to mention Ji Hangfeng, even some high-level executives in Tianlu are at a loss. This kind of thing is obviously not too shocking in the fashion circle. Isn't it just keeping a model, so what if it's a man?Are you afraid that the entertainment industry will be less?

However, only Qin Yi was stirred up into a pool of sewage by the provocative media, and he couldn't even wash it clean.

Gradually, people with discerning eyes who have been in this industry for a long time will get used to it. Qin Yi is only afraid that he has offended someone who can't afford to offend, so he will suffer such a disaster-it's a pity, Tianlu rarely finds someone with potential My male model Miao Zi, if this hits the head with a blow, I'm afraid I won't get up again.

No matter how bloody the outside world is, Qin Yi, the person in the center of the storm, not only did not get depressed, he was happy and leisurely, eating well and sleeping soundly all day long, and exercising his abdominal muscles when he had nothing to do. He is not in a hurry to pay back the money. He has accumulated a lot of savings through hard work in the past six months. As long as he doesn't have to worry about food, Qin Yi usually doesn't bother to care about those worries.

However, although he doesn't want to cause trouble, it doesn't mean that trouble won't come to him.

Qin Yi disguised himself before leaving. He kept his hat low, covered half of his face with wide sunglasses, and hid his chin in a scarf. He wrapped himself in a windbreaker and walked on the street. He was not very familiar with him. People really can't recognize it.

He purposely walked around downstairs before wandering to the parking lot, took out his mobile phone and called Pei Hanrui.

The phone rang twice and the other party answered.

"Hello, Qin Yi."

"I'm here, where are you?" Qin Yi leaned against the wall, lazily prolonging the tune, meeting his lover and acting cautiously like an underground organization really made him very unhappy, but Ji Hangfeng Repeatedly whispered to him over and over again, but he couldn't help not to see Pei Hanrui all the time, so he reluctantly used this compromise method, just as it was for fun.

"I'm in parking space No. 31 in Area C." Pei Hanrui could imagine the guy's expression from his tone of voice, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up.

"Oh, I'm already in Area C, I think I saw your car..."

"wait--"

Pei Hanrui's eyes suddenly sank, his words made Qin Yi's footsteps stop in place, and the latter frowned: "Why?"

"Someone is following you." Pei Hanrui frowned and whispered, he caught a glimpse of a sneaky figure in the rearview mirror, and fell behind Qin Yi from a distance, "Don't look back, you have been Go straight ahead, straight out of the parking lot."

"...Then, don't you go tonight?" Qin Yi paused for a moment, then raised his legs and walked forward.

Sitting in the car, Pei Hanrui squeezed the center of his eyebrows, was silent for a while, sighed softly, and said, "In the recent period, the guidance should be temporarily stopped."

Hearing the man's still steady voice, Qin Yi unconsciously closed his fingers holding the phone: "I don't see you anymore..."

There was another silence on the other side. After a long time, I heard Pei Hanrui's voice: "I will find a way."

Speechless, Qin Yi hung up the phone expressionlessly.Putting the phone back in his pocket, he walked out of the parking lot without squinting.

Pei Hanrui stared at his back not far away, and clenched his hands on the steering wheel little by little...

After leaving the parking lot, Qin Yi casually went to the nearby large shopping mall to buy some snacks, replenished the stock of strawberry milk by the way, and walked back with the box on his shoulders.

But he didn't want to, as soon as he got to the bottom of the building, a group of paparazzi Yuji rushed out from the side, surrounded him menacingly without saying a word, followed by the camera flashing wildly, the microphone almost poked him in the face.

"Mr. Qin, is the rumor that you were taken care of by the top management of NL true? I heard that the first advertising contract you entered Tianlu was from NL. Is it related to this?"

"May I ask who paid the one million termination fee for you and TD? How did you get it?"

This kind of question is relatively tactful, and what's more, it doesn't even save basic respect and politeness.

"Mr. Qin, I heard that you are dating Mr. Pei Hanrui, the CEO of NL. Are you gay? Have you two already had a relationship?"

"May I ask if you were unspoken voluntarily, or were you forced? What is your feeling for Mr. Pei?"

Qin Yi always looked at these noisy guys with a blank face, without saying a word.Until his patience was gradually exhausted by the endless paparazzi, his face suddenly turned cold, and he threw the milk crate on his shoulder to the ground, making a dull crashing sound.

The gossip reporters were taken aback by his sudden move, and they all took half a step back.

Qin Yi grabbed the microphone of the tabloid reporter closest to him and stepped onto the milk crate. Coupled with his original height, he was completely condescending and looking down.

As if captured by his oppressive force, the entertainment reporters fell silent for a moment and looked at each other.

Qin Yi took off his sunglasses, revealing a face as tough as a knife, looked around indifferently, and slowly said: "Who I like to be with is none of your business. I am indeed with Pei Hanrui, so what ?”

The entertainment reporters didn't expect him to admit it so easily, and he couldn't turn his head all of a sudden.

Qin Yi seemed to feel that his tone was too arrogant, so he scratched his hair embarrassingly, his tone softened, and said humbly: "I am still a newcomer in this circle, I am not very good at talking, if there is something wrong -"

"——You came to hit me!"

At the same time, in Pei's study, Pei Hanrui happened to see this broadcast.

The ashtray at hand was almost full of cigarette butts, and he stared intently at Qin Yi's face in the picture, with a disdainful, indifferent, and arrogant look.

Tightly attracting his eyes, pulling his heartbeat.

Covering his eyes with his palms, Pei Hanrui leaned on the sofa chair, his trembling heartbeat almost jumped out of his chest, he was afraid that if he took another look, he would rush to the scene to announce their relationship to the world regardless.

Qin Yi's voice, words, and even every look in his eyes moved him.

Want to see him, hold him, kiss him...

Pei Hanrui was terrified by the desire that surged up in his heart, and finally forcibly regained his reason to suppress the abnormal impulse that made him astonished.

Now is not the time, you need to be patient, you need to be dormant.It is unwise to beat the media at such a time.

Pei Hanrui calmed down, and opened his eyes again. Unfortunately, before he finished reading the following content, he was interrupted by the sudden ringing of the phone.

"Hey?"

After a brief moment of silence, a familiar yet unfamiliar middle-aged male voice rang out from the other end of the phone, with an indiscriminate sternness: "Han Rui, you have been back to China for so long, and you haven't done anything decent, just show me such a big deal." Is it a joke..."

Narrowing his eyes slowly, Pei Hanrui lit the last cigarette in his mouth and held it in his mouth. The expression on his face faded completely, and he said indifferently: "Ah, it's my father."
