The national men's team debuted!

cemetery.

Zhuo Yang looked at Jiang Ji with astonishment on his face, and finally calmed down slowly.

It took Jiang Ji a while to recover from the shock, and asked, "Do you know...she too?"

"Her name is Yuan Yuan," Zhuo Yang said calmly, "It's my... neighbor's friend. My neighbor injured his Achilles tendon this year, so let me take a look on her behalf."

Recently, Zhuo Yang has deeply realized that his eager personality is not suitable for being an undercover agent, so in exchange for Qiao Huan's physical training, he has been asking Qiao Huan for tips on being an undercover agent.

Tonight, although he was still dazzled by anger at first, he recovered quickly.

He can't screw this up.

"Oh..." Looking at Zhuo Yang's sincere expression, Jiang Ji no longer doubted his words, but murmured: "What a coincidence... Maybe this is God's will."

Zhuo Yang put Ling Lan in front of Yuan Yuan's tomb, and after three bows, he asked, "Does Brother Jiang know Yuan Yuan too?"

Jiang Ji asked back:

"You said before that she quit... because of me?"

Zhuo Yang nodded first, then shook his head: "I don't know very well, I just heard from a neighbor that she jumped to Starlight because of one person, maybe because of you, maybe because of someone else."

Jiang Ji seemed to be stuck in memory, and it took him a while to pull away.

"Feel sorry."

Afterwards, he confessed everything about his past with Yuan Yuan.

In fact, the relationship between the two is very simple.

At the peak of UPE's popularity, Jiang Ji, as the much-anticipated lead singer, was under tremendous pressure.

As an idol, he is very virtuous and does not have any private friends or lovers, and his family members are also the type who report good news but not bad ones, and never contact each other except for Chinese New Year and holidays.

Therefore, Jiang Ji, who stands at the top, is actually very lonely.

The atmosphere in the team is also not friendly, it can be said that it is very different from Xiu Sitian today.

The agent at the time was more intentional to let them compete with each other. Jiang Jiben was not a competitive character, and was often excluded, almost severely depressed.

Therefore, at a critical time node, which is a period related to the transformation of the entire UPE, Jiang Ji was a little hesitant and wanted to quit.

Before that, Jiang Ji's only consolation was letters from fans. Watching those "friends" from all over the world share their lives with him, Jiang Ji realized that his existence is meaningful.

At that time, he didn't expect that a "fan" would come to work beside him, and he kept a distance of only communicating and never disturbing.

This fan is Yuan Yuan.

Jiang Ji found out that the other party belonged to Yuan Yuan by relying on the clues in the letter, and Yuan Yuan obviously didn't expect that the idol who was too busy to touch the ground every day would read his letter.

Yuan Yuan just found that her favorite books and fruits that she wrote in her letters often appeared on her desk...

In fact, at that time, the two of them didn't have much overlap at work, but the company was full of people, and even though the young couple didn't have any idea of ​​being more than friends, they didn't bother to pierce the window paper.

But unexpectedly, the budding friendship was interrupted by Yuan Yuan's unexpected death.

Afterwards, Jiang Ji still made the decision to retire to the second line, but apart from singing, he could only stay in Starlight as a mentor due to his contract.

The other members of the UPE group should also fly solo, and the behind-the-scenes should be turned behind the scenes. This has led to the situation that Starlight Company is currently out of business.

Jiang Ji spoke very normally, as if he had long accepted that all good things would not last long in him.

He just lamented the loss of another life, and blamed himself for it, until today...maybe it will be far in the future.

Zhuo Yang let out a long sigh.

He saw that the starry sky reflected in Jiang Ji's eyes was dimmed.

But he didn't know how to comfort him.

On the contrary, Jiang Ji suddenly smiled: "I believe she went to a better place."

Zhuo Yang was taken aback: "What?"

"Leaving the entertainment industry and starlight," Jiang Ji looked at the night sky, "it's a better place."

Starlight's second quarter report meeting.

"...Dear directors, the above is our income in the second quarter of this year."

The CFO holds the remote control and presses to stop the scrolling new quarterly financial statements.

After the debut of the new group OSOK, Xingyi struggled with marketing, and the slowly rising income in exchange unexpectedly continued to decline in the second quarter.

And Xiu Si was even more thunderous and rainy.

Although there are many endorsements, they only transport boxes of agricultural and sideline products to the company, and none of them make money.

The variety shows on the Internet... also posted a lot of travel expenses.

Taking a closer look at these old foxes, the bottom red line representing the current quarter's earnings is almost equal to the first quarter.

Even though several directors had been prepared in their hearts, their faces at this time were not good-looking.

The executive director Wan Qiulin first stared at Ling Ji closely, with a calm face and became angry.

"Since Director Ling came back, Starlight's daily income has gone from bad to worse. Although the previous investment is still profitable, it is not as good as before."

"So...for the current situation. Do you want to give an explanation to the board of directors?"

Wan Qiulin's brows and eyes sank, his hawk-like eyes swept across Ling Ji's face.

However, he was ready to listen to Ling Ji's public apology, but he failed to get the result he wanted.

I saw Ling Ji stood up unhurriedly, without any unexpected look on his face.

"Thinking about it, the directors should have heard about the recent negative news about artists and actors."

"So..." Ling Ji, who had been prepared for a long time, walked to the front of the computer to meet the other party's gloomy eyes, and lowered his head to operate.

After a while, a very detailed project book was displayed in front of everyone.

Ling Ji stretched out his hand and fiddled with the mouse in front of him.

And as each page of the plan unfolded in detail, the eyes of those well-informed directors showed a little bit of consternation.

When the last page of the project book was screened to the end, Ling Ji also had a look of determination on his face.

"I don't know what you think of my new plan?"

"This... This is somewhat risky. The current situation of the company may not allow us to make such a big move."

A female director who is used to being conservative first shook her head, and several other people expressed their opinions one after another after exchanging glances.

For these directors who do not want to take too much risk, although the project proposed by Ling Ji just now is full of temptation, they are not very optimistic about it.

It is indeed possible to be the first person to take the lead in the market, but in case of failure... the risk is much greater than other projects.

Chairman Shi Bing, who was sitting at the top, didn't express his opinion after everyone finished expressing their opinions, but just lowered his head and thought for a while.

Afterwards, he immediately looked to Tao Zhenting on his right who had successfully invested in Starlight by virtue of his insight in selecting trainees.

"Instructor Tao, I want to hear your opinion."

Tao Zhenting and Ling Ji have never gotten along well.

There was a hint of teasing in Wan Qiulin's eyes, and he waited for the good show to start.

"I think Director Ling Ji's opinion is feasible." Tao Zhenting thought for a while, then said slowly.

"Tao Zhenting," Wan Qiulin was taken aback, then angrily said, "Do you know what you're talking about!"

"I know what the directors are worried about. But now Xingyi has fallen to the bottom, and there is no way out."

"For Xingyi, the most important thing now is to break through and then build. If we can show the courage to build the country's number one idol group at that time, we can be reborn from nirvana."

"For those young people who are somewhat cautious, we don't actually need to bother to train them. The group under planning is absolutely under our control, and there will be no unexpected situations."

Tao Zhenting rarely speaks at board meetings.

But as the instructor of all the trainees and just becoming a shareholder of the company, he has more say than many people present.

During his slow statement, many people's expressions were slightly shaken.

"And as far as I know, there has never been any similar group implemented in this form in China."

"If we can seize the opportunity, Starlight will have a great advantage."

"Just because of this, we have a reason to support Director Ling Ji's project."

After Tao Zhenting finished speaking, his eyes intersected with Ling Ji's for a moment, and they separated instantly.

——A meaningful "moment".

Another show of hands.

Not surprisingly, the new project proposed by Ling Ji was successfully passed.

And when everyone talked about how to implement this project and try to make them more popular when they debuted, they were endlessly discussing.

Tao Zhenting, who had been silent since he spoke just now, said something meaningful again.

"Since they are idols, of course they have to follow the path of idols."

"I'm afraid it's unavoidable to step on someone else's position. It's just who to choose for this stepping stone, which is the most important thing you should consider now..."

After finishing speaking, Tao Zhenting glanced down at his watch and hurriedly left the meeting room.

When Ling Ji looked at his slightly white hair at the sideburns, he showed a look of regret and excitement.

It seems... what I said when I approached this Instructor Tao a few days ago successfully reached his heart.

No one will refuse the temptation of money.

If there is, it's probably just because you haven't given enough to impress the other party.

Fortunately, with his help, the things I have to do next will be much easier.

"Old Tao is hard to convince. You did a good job this time."

After the directors who attended the report meeting left one after another, the chairman was very relieved and patted Ling Ji on the shoulder.

"As long as you are human, you must have desires."

Ling Ji lowered his head and smiled, his pupils filled with growing ambition.

"After preparing for so long, the final result can't disappoint me." There were fine lines in the corners of the chairman's eyes.

"Don't worry, this time our comeback battle will definitely be fought beautifully." Ling Ji also laughed as he looked at the city that was gradually lit up.

Xincai Shampoo endorsement blockbuster filming.

Photographer Ah Liu only felt that his head was big.

He is a well-known commercial photographer in the advertising industry, and has cooperated with almost all first-line big names.

In fact, he doesn't accept such an unknown domestic brand as Xincai very much.

The reason why he lowered his social status and fashion value this time is all because his wife is a fan of these spokespersons.

But he always feels that today's shooting seems to be the Waterloo of his profession.

Or……

The models in front of me didn't really want to work.

However, these guys are not saying that they simply don't shoot like they are playing big names, or that they are picky about the shooting locations, and there is always no time to stop.

It's just that the facial expressions of these people don't seem to be in control.

Ah Liu asked them to look to the left together, and it seemed that the youngest one couldn't help but look to the right.

Ah Liu asked them to smile, and the cold-tempered person smiled uglier than crying.

how to say?

That is, they cooperated, but not fully.

Looking at the stiff expressions of these young people facing the camera, Ah Liu couldn't help but feel that these people seemed to be afraid that once their faces were captured by the camera, they would be captured by it.

If Ah Liu hadn't said anything, few people would have been able to guess who the main character in this group of photos this afternoon with almost no frontal faces was taken.

They would never have imagined that the now-hot national idols——Surao Field Quadruple actually looked like this when they were shooting commercial photos.

Hey, it can only be added in the later stage.

After all, gold has no feet and no man is perfect, I understand.

Ah Liu is always comforting himself.

What's more, compared to the stars he has seen who have more things than hair, they can be regarded as dedicated.

No matter how many times I adjusted the lens and changed the camera position a few times, even if a few people were sweating profusely, they would not complain at all.

Ah Liu thought about it countless times, whether there was something wrong with his ability.

It seems that people still have to keep learning, the previous self is really slack!

"Everyone, please get ready, we still have a group photo."

The few people who didn't know about the little Jiujiu in the cameraman's heart heard the bad news and could only try their best to prevent their faces from being recorded by the camera.

This time the advertisement is not as foolish as in the past, and several photos from various angles have to be taken.

In order not to expose his undercover identity, Xiu Si has already tried his best.

Qiao Xu was half a head shorter than Zhuo Yang, and as soon as the camera light flickered, he swung backwards, using the height of the person in front to block his small half of his face.

Knowing that he shouldered the heavy responsibility of blocking Qiao Huan, Zhuo Yang raised the conditioner in his hand to his face the moment the flash light came on.

Bejik held the body of the bottle with both hands, staring affectionately at the ginger pattern on the body of the bottle.

Ye Yiwei stood sideways, gently holding up the bottle of essential oil like holding a baby.

"Okay—yes!" Ah Liu kept capturing with the camera.

"That's right, hey! Comrade Bai's hand goes a little higher, revealing the name of the product!"

——Other artists like to be called "teacher" when they are filming, but Xiu Si immediately waved his hands when he heard this title, and insisted that Ah Liu call them comrades or friends.

Ah Liu, who had finally adapted to the new title, was sweating all over, and finally got it done:

"OK! This section is finished, please adjust your status, we still have a little more!"

Xiu Si's face was full of black lines: I can't finish filming, can I?

But the four of them still kept smiling politely, trying not to cause trouble to others' work.

Ah Liu touched his sweat, and walked towards Xiu Si: "Four, I wonder if I could trouble you to sign for me?"

After all, coaxing his wife is the most important task in Ah Liu's life recently.

Moreover, judging from Xiu Si's reaction... he must have reluctantly accepted this domestic brand, right?

There are so many famous brands in the market, and after the four-inch head became popular, there are dozens if not a hundred endorsements for their cleaning products.

How much did you have to charge for choosing such an unpopular one?

But Ah Liu didn't expect that the four of them stopped immediately.

Jiang Renbao also understood immediately, and took out several barrels of shampoo and conditioner.

With a flick of their pens, the four of them wrote freely for a while, and handed it to Ah Si.

Qiao Xu looked sincere: "Your wife must like it."

Ah Liu: "Huh?"

Gotta love their signature?These four rookies are so confident?

wrong!

How did these four people know that they took the job because of the entrustment of their wives?

But before he asked again, Xiu Si had already gone far.

Jiang Renbao patted Ah Liu on the shoulder: "Just now, Comrade Qiao Xu noticed that your diamond ring is new, and you have been using the side shot of your mobile phone to send messages to others, so I guessed that you and your wife have a deep relationship. Let me choose the toiletries that are suitable for the two of you, I wish you a happy wedding."

After speaking, Jiang Renbao also left.

The six people are all stupid.

Xiu Si is too sensitive!

Then, when he looked at the words signed by the four on the shampoo bottle, he almost cried.

The so-called handwriting is like a person, and the four people's handwriting is very beautiful, so I won't mention it. They also wrote about the precautions of Xincai shampoo. In the end, I wish him and his wife a deep love and a happy relationship for a hundred years.

Ah Liu has photographed so many artists, but he has never felt so... warm.

To him, this is just work, but he never thought that the partner would really treat him as a friend!

At this time, the staff also pulled out the samples just shot to show Ah Liu.

Staff member 1: The cooperation of the four of them...is actually a bit weird and beautiful.

Worker 2: I want the bottle in Dang Ye's hand, can this be said?

Staff member 3: I heard that Xiu Si's endorsement has been tried for a long time. They look at the brand, they are really emotional!

Yu Ji, who was squatting in the grass and watching several people move away from the C position in the middle: I have only seen boy groups fighting for the C position, and it is really rare for them to give in to each other like this...

The body movements of the four people are particularly coordinated, and with their perfect body proportions, the film not only highlights the shampoo, but also looks very good-looking!

Only then did Ah Liu put his heart and soul into it, and suggested adjustments to the samples.

Such a good artist must do his best!

Then, he suddenly noticed a blind spot.

Before Xiusi, they were still the "most beautiful cut", but now, their hair is almost growing back to normal volume!

He looked at the heavy bowl of cheap domestic shampoo in his hand, which he had been looking down on before, and murmured in his heart.

Could it be...is this brand really so easy to use?

……

Because they had to change the setting, Xiu Si and the others could finally take a short break.

The tense muscles of several people suddenly loosened, and they walked towards the nanny car parked outside the shooting site.

"Wash your face with me."

Qiao Xu was about to get into the car, but Ye Yiwei couldn't help but put his arm around his shoulder and turned back to the other side.

But for some reason, Baijik, who had just gotten into the nanny's car and hadn't even sat down, glanced at his phone, then squeezed between the two in a hurry.

Baijik ran directly into the only public restroom in the outdoor shooting location.

Qiao eased Ye Yiwei's footsteps to a sudden stop.

Ye Yiwei looked at the staff around him, and reluctantly said in a moderate voice, "...I seem to have a bit of sunstroke, please accompany me later."

Qiao Huan: ...

Recently, what he taught Ye Yiwei and Zhuo Yang the most was "responsibility", aka telling lies without blinking an eye.

Unexpectedly, the two made rapid progress.

"Okay..." Qiao Huan looked at the half-dead sun and said helplessly, "Then I will support you and sit on the side for a while."

When Qiao Huan and Ye Yiwei were sitting under the shade of the tree, Ye Yiwei deliberately looked around to see if there was anyone around.

Ye Yiwei, who hadn't found a chance to spend time alone with Qiao Huan in the past few days, finally told Qiao Huan about seeing Bai Jike at the dinner that day.

"Really...he even made a disguise?" Qiao Huan frowned slightly.

"Comrade Zhuo, come here too." Ye Yiwei changed his mind and greeted Zhuo Yang who was helping people carry equipment all over the floor.

Zhuo Yang didn't seem to hear the call from the people here.

"Brother Zhuo! Come and sit here for a while!" Qiao Huan suddenly called out when he saw his mind wandering.

"Ah! Oh... well, well."

Zhuo Yang walked over in three steps at a time, but he sat there without speaking or thinking about something.

"Brother Zhuo, did you find any new clues? Why are you so absent-minded all day long?"

"Huh? How do you know that?"

However, although it was not particularly obvious, they got along day and night and faced each other day and night after all during this period of time.

After splitting up that day, when Zhuo Yang returned to the dormitory, he always looked listless, and even his dumbbells were left out for several days.

Such a big living person is always preoccupied, even if Qiao Huan is blind, he can still find out that something is wrong with him.

"It just so happens that I have discovered something recently, so let's talk about it one by one." Qiao slowly scratched his hair.

Ye Yiwei said: "Let me come first. The dinner was very boring that day. It seems that everyone was not motivated by the recent collapse of houses in the entertainment industry, so there was nothing to expect. The only strange thing is... I seem to have met Baijike."

"And he avoided the crowd and went to Lin Xiangnan's lounge. I don't know what he was doing there, and I didn't see him come out until the end."

Joe nodded slowly: "It's really strange."

But Baijik was not surprised for a day or two.

Zhuo Yang barely perked up when he heard the news, "If he wanted to go, why did he avoid us?"

"Unless there is some secret that we cannot discover." Ye Yiwei said decisively.

"For example...he has known Lin Xiangnan for a long time."

Qiao Huan tried to infer, but quickly denied his idea. "No... If he knew him from the beginning, there's no need to get involved with the rest of us. Besides, he should be able to see it when he participated in "Bear Baby Comes Home."

After finishing speaking, Qiao Huan suddenly thought of the paint on Baijike's trouser legs, and pondered for a moment:

"However, we do have to pay attention to Bejik's actions recently."

If Baijike and Lin Xiangnan had any relationship, then Lin Xiangnan would know their every move.

He still decided to be on the safe side.

"He's quite gifted with computers."

"If there are any new clues, we try our best to communicate in person, and don't leave traces on computers or communication devices."

After finishing speaking, Qiao Huan couldn't help admonishing, "But don't make it too obvious."

"Well. By the way, I also have something to tell you."

Zhuo Yang cleared his throat and lowered his voice.

"When I went to see Yuan Yuan that day, I also met someone."

"I met Jiang Ge there..."

"He told me that Yuan Yuan had been in contact with him and had written several letters to him."

"What he said was very emotional, but he didn't bring those letters with him, so I couldn't be sure if what he said was true."

Qiao Huan tapped the stones beside him with his fingers while connecting all the clues in his mind.

"My informant did find traces of drug residue in Yuan Yuan's cup. It's just that what's in it still needs to be sent to the laboratory for further investigation."

Qiao Huan thought for a while, and told Qiao Tang the important clues he had collected that day when they met.

"I also found her medical examination report before the incident... probably when she started work in March."

"She was in pretty good health at the time, and there were also records of travel friends going hiking with her in the wild during the New Year's holiday, and there were photos in the travel friends' circle of friends."

"I also found a colleague who also left after Yuan Yuan's sudden death through my parents' relationship."

Ye Yiwei covered the screen with his body, and took out the chat records of the two of them.

"He said that Yuan Yuan didn't have the habit of staying up late and working overtime during her lifetime. At most, she would stay up all night once or twice when she was too busy."

"At her age...after going to work, she only stays up late once or twice. I'm afraid it won't directly lead to sudden death."

"Yuan Yuan is in charge of the overall life of Starlight's contracted artists and trainees. She needs to report to Starlight's director on a regular basis—even if the director is abroad. Could it be that she heard something when she went to report? Will it be brutally murdered?"

"With Yuan Yuan's intelligence, if she really finds something wrong, she should hide useful clues in the letter." Zhuo Yang said.

"Well, I'll search the Shi family for clues. Brother Zhuo see if he can get the letter from Brother Jiang."

"No problem." Zhuo Yang patted his chest and replied, "Thanks to your help, if I hadn't been recruited by the official side of you two, I wouldn't have been able to find out this in my life. The water of Xingyi is too deep."

"If you have any difficulties, please come to us." Qiao slowly patted Zhuo Yang on the shoulder, and then regained his composure. "It's just that we have to eliminate our own danger before finding any conclusive evidence."

"Now Xiaobai goes in and out with us every day, no matter how careful we are, we may not be able to guarantee that we will never show our feet..."

Qiao Xu's eyes sank, and he looked at Bai Jike who was splashing cold water on his face on the second floor.

"We must first determine whether he is a passerby, a member of our own family, or a member of Lin Xiangnan."

*

"That's right, the matter is more serious than I thought." Baijike said to the communicator with a serious face, "Although Lin Xiangnan has done public welfare in the name of charity these years, it seems that he doesn't interfere in the entertainment industry."

"But when I was investigating him, I found out that the artists who leaked scandals recently have more or less dealt with him, and all of them attended the dinner he held in the name of charity."

"So, I don't think Lin Xiangnan can clean himself up about this matter."

"Although we are still unable to investigate his charitable fund account and his personal account, those artists who have been suppressed... can always squeeze out some news."

"No problem, I will assist the investigation remotely."

Bejik methodically analyzed all the clues in his hands, looking confident that he was about to solve the mystery.

But he understands that since the other party has the ability to hide his IP address on domestic websites and put on layers of camouflage that are difficult for ordinary people to see through, he will never let these people who have been sent to the police reveal anything Important clues to come.

And when he went to the reception, even if it had something to do with the previous "Baby Bear Comes Home", what Lin Xiangnan said to him was impeccable, and there was no problem at all.

What he wants now is to be able to lock down some details of the other party.

And he was almost recognized by Ye Yiwei at the reception, which also made Baijike realize that being an undercover agent was not as easy as he thought.

He is not good at undercover skills such as concealment and stereotypes.

Nowadays, the only way to find a breakthrough is to go deep into Lin's company...

When Bejik hung up the communicator and stroked the slate on the window sill, his gaze involuntarily fell on those teammates who were sitting together and seemed to be talking and laughing.

The backgrounds of these three people were so clean that even his contact person felt that the cleanliness was a bit abnormal.

But want to continue to investigate but don't know where to start.

"It would be great if you were my teammates." Baijike thought to himself when his eyes crossed.
