Chapter 11 Dissolution

When Ye Tang opened his eyes again, the lights outside the window were already brightly lit. His mother Han Xueying, who had been exhausted all day, was lying on the bedside and fell asleep.

Ye Tang looked at his plastered arm, wondering if his arm would be useless like this, and if it affected his dancing and acting, he would almost say goodbye to the entertainment industry by default.

"Mom, mom." Ye Tang turned his head to call his mother.

Hearing Ye Tang's voice, Han Xueying quickly sat up like an electric shock and asked nervously, "What's wrong Tang Tang!"

"It's okay, I just tell you to go back to the hotel to sleep, you will catch a cold lying on the bedside."

"Mom is not sleepy, go back to sleep." Han Xueying raised her hand and rubbed her red eyes.

"Go back and rest. I'm even more worried if you collapse from exhaustion." Ye Tang urged.

Han Xueying got up and said: "Then I will come to accompany you tomorrow morning, what do you want to eat, mom will cook for you when you go back."

"Anything you want is delicious."

Han Xueying leaned over and stroked Ye Tang's hair and said softly: "If you have anything to do, just tell your mother, don't support it by yourself, the entertainment industry is not a good place, your father is looking forward to you coming home early to take over his precious restaurant every day .”

Ye Tang smiled and said, "Don't you have a younger brother? Don't worry, someone will inherit his restaurant."

"Then mom will go back first. I've hired a nurse for you. If there's anything to do, press the button on the bedside and the nurse will come right away."

After Han Xueying left, Ye Tang was lying on the hospital bed and couldn't sleep at all, so he just opened his eyes in a daze, he was waiting for someone.

For some reason, Ye Tang always had a premonition that Li Xuan would come to the hospital to look for him.

Not long after, the door of the ward slowly opened, Ye Tang stopped his thoughts and turned his head to see Li Xuan walking in.

"I knew you would come." Ye Tang looked at Li Xuan intently and said, "You saved my life again, what reward do you want from me this time?"

"need nothing."

"Why do you come to me if you don't want anything?" Ye Tang couldn't believe it. In his impression, every time Li Xuan saved him, he had a purpose and never did business at a loss.

"I heard that you woke up and came to see."

Ye Tang laughed lightly: "Daozhang Li, you finally did a good deed for free, does that count as your merit?"

Ye Tang's round almond eyes would bend into a crescent shape when he smiled, and his dark pupils were illuminated by the light like a night sky with twinkling stars.He put the guard in Ye Tang's right hand and asked, "What are you going to do with this thing?"

Ye Tang took the guard and looked at it for a while, then with one hand he struggled to open the folded yellow paper inside, on which strange incantations were drawn with a red pen.

Although he didn't know exactly what the function of the talisman paper was, Ye Tang understood a little bit in his heart, and looked at the talisman paper silently and smiled wryly.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Li Xuan continued: "If someone wants to get rid of the entanglement of evil spirits, one way is to find a substitute. That person only needs to put his blood, nails and hair on another person with the same birthday, and then use tricks to get rid of him." If the Yin Talisman confuses the ghost, it will mistakenly identify the person who killed the substitute, and the place of death on the day of the festival will repeat the death process, and this is the best time to die for the substitute."

"I see." Ye Tang crumpled up the talisman paper and handed it to Li Xuan together with the guard: "This thing can't be thrown away casually, right? I need to ask Li Daochang to dispose of it for me."

Li Xuan was a little surprised: "Why didn't you ask that person for clarification?"

"I haven't made it in the entertainment industry yet, so why do stupid things that ask for trouble." Ye Tang leaned on the pillow and looked at the ceiling calmly, but there was a hint of hatred and unwillingness in his eyes.

Li Xuan silently tucked the guard into his sleeves, lowered his eyes and stopped talking.

After a long time, Ye Tang recalled the scene after he fainted and said: "I was alone in the dark, I couldn't step on the ground, I couldn't see the sky when I looked up, and there was endless darkness all around. When I didn't know where to go , I heard you call my name." While speaking, Ye Tang suddenly turned his face and looked at Li Xuan with a serious expression: "Your voice is like a thread pulling me out of the darkness, I am very grateful to you for saving me."

"You're welcome." Li Xuan turned away from looking at him, and the silent atmosphere suddenly became a little ambiguous.Maybe Li Xuan himself could feel it, he coughed twice in embarrassment and said, "I'm leaving."

Looking at the back of Li Xuan running away in a hurry, Ye Tang found it funny that this cold Taoist priest would be embarrassed when facing his sincere thanks.

The night sky in the city is always gray and it is difficult to see the stars. Looking down from the high-end apartment buildings, the colorful neon lights fascinate people's nerves.On the calm river in the distance, an antique cruise ship dangled towards the sky with red lanterns on it.

Ankang stood on the balcony looking at the night scene below his feet, raised his head and poured the red wine in the glass down his throat.

Xu Qingyi came out of the living room wearing a sexy silk suspender dress and hugged Ankang: "Honey, I heard that Ye Tang is out of danger."

"I know, he woke up in the morning." Ankang had already arranged eyeliners in the hospital to monitor Ye Tang, and he cared more about Ye Tang's life and death than anyone else.

"He was obviously about to die, why did he wake up all of a sudden." After all, she did something wrong, Xu Qingyi said with some fear, "Do you think he will expose you to the media?"

Ankang smiled: "Although he is simple, he is definitely not stupid. I believe he will weigh the pros and cons carefully."

The wind from outside brought some coolness to the body, Ankang entered the room with Xu Qingyi in his arms, and said softly: "Go to bed early, we will visit the hospital tomorrow."

The next day, Ankang and Xu Qingyi knocked on the door of the ward with flowers and fruit baskets.

Ye Tang was lying on the hospital bed chatting with Lin Runzhi, while Han Xueying was sitting by the bed and peeling apples.

Seeing Ankang standing at the door, Ye Tang's expression turned cold, but the displeasure soon disappeared, and he smiled at Ankang with the corners of his mouth raised.

"I heard that something happened to you, I'm very worried." Ankang walked anxiously to Ye Tang's bed and put the flowers on the cabinet, while Xu Qingyi stood behind Ankang without speaking, and quietly looked at Ye Tang with vigilant eyes.

Ye Tang waved his hand and asked Lin Runzhi and his mother to go back, and let him chat with Ankang alone.

Before leaving the ward, Lin Runzhi took a look at Ankang. Ye Tang's mother sensed that the atmosphere was not right, so she put down the half-peeled apple and followed her out.

"Everyone is gone, so you don't have to act." Ye Tang deliberately turned his head away and stopped looking at him.

Ankang sat down beside the bed with a smile, picked up a fruit knife and peeled the apple, then cut the peeled apple into small pieces, poked it with the tip of the knife and handed it to Ye Tang's mouth and said softly, "I'm really worried about you."

"Yes, you're worried that I'm not dead." Ye Tang didn't eat the apple he brought over. The two of them stalemate for a minute before Ankang retracted the fruit knife and put the apple into his mouth.

"In the beginning, the Taoist priest told me to look for someone who was born on the same day in the same month and year. I was still worried about how it would be so easy to find, so I asked my assistant to help me find out if there were any artists with the same birthday as me. By chance, I found you. In order to let you enter the game I have spent a lot of effort. Since we are so destined, we might as well continue to be friends. You helped me solve the serious problem in my heart, and I owe you a favor."

Ankang was not angry because Ye Tang refused to look him in the eye, and still said with a smile on his face: "I'm doing pretty well, I can take care of you in the entertainment industry."

"We were friends before, and we will be in the future." Ye Tang showed a mocking smile, half of which was mocking Ankang, and the other half was mocking himself.

Ankang nodded in satisfaction, poked another piece of apple and fed it to Ye Tang's mouth, Ye Tang frowned and ate it reluctantly.

"I'm not mistaken, you are a cute and good boy." Ankang put down the fruit knife, got up, grabbed Xu Qingyi's waist, opened the door and left.

The moment the door was closed, Ye Tang stretched out his right hand to pick up the flowers on the bedside and threw them to the ground, panting heavily, his chest heaving violently due to anger.

Due to the severity of the injury, Ye Tang lay in the hospital for more than two months before removing the plaster cast. The surgical wound on his left arm was painful and itchy every night, which made it difficult for him to sleep.

Looking at the ugly surgical scar on the inside of his white arm, Ye Tang thought that he would not be able to wear short sleeves for at least two years, otherwise he would lose his fans if he saw it. Idols should not have flaws.

While Ye Tang was hospitalized, the executives of the brokerage company finally decided to disband Phantom after several days of deliberation.

The first person to hear about this was Lin Runzhi. Considering that one of the other two was recuperating and the other was filming, he tossed and turned for two nights without saying a word, and the last person walked into the office of the Ministry of Artistic Economy.

"It seems that you have heard the news." Manager Zhang propped his chin and smiled: "Are you here to protest?"

"No, I'm just here to ask what my personal development plan is if the group disbands."

"Hmm..." Manager Zhang tapped the pen on the table and thought for a while: "This specific personal development issue needs to be discussed with your agent."

Lin Runzhi asked tentatively, "Then, can I go behind the scenes?"

Manager Zhang said in disbelief: "Are you kidding me? The company disbanded the group to allow you to better develop your areas of expertise, not to change careers."

"Develop yourself?" Lin Runzhi smiled contemptuously. He said it was for the artist's development. In fact, the company saw that Ye Tang was injured and didn't have much value. It was the fact that Phantom delayed Jiang Mingxu, who was in the limelight.

"Since you have already made a request, how about it, I will discuss this matter with your agent later." Manager Zhang turned the office chair and sat with his back facing him.

"Whether the company agrees or not, whether it's a group or solo, anyway, I won't be an idol anymore." Lin Runzhi dropped a sentence before leaving.

Aida didn't want to affect Jiang Ming's mood to continue filming, and she didn't tell him about the company's decision until the new film was finished and at the crew's wrap-up party.

As she expected, Jiang Mingxu had a strong reaction, grabbed the car keys and drove to the company to find a high-level theory: "Is the Phantom just for the company? Phantom is also a signboard that the three of us have worked so hard to disband. What do you think the three of us are?" ?”

"Tell me the truth, does the company think that Ye Tang is injured and can't make money and wants to leave him alone?" Jiang Mingxu asked coldly.

"Hehe, Ye Tang..." Aida said with a light smile, "Even if he is not injured, he is almost of no commercial value. Now you are the one with the best development. The executives of the company are very fond of you. Disbanding the group is very important to you." It’s just about getting rid of a tiring baggage so you can have more time to develop your work.”

"If I don't want to get rid of Phantom, I just want to take both of them."

Aida stopped him and said coaxingly: "Don't worry, the company will hold a meeting on this matter in a few days, and the three of you should go there by then. If you have any dissatisfaction, just tell the boss."

Jiang Mingxu reluctantly suppressed her anger and returned to her seat. Yang Qian walked over to him with red wine and sat down coquettishly. Seeing Jiang Mingxu ignoring her with a cold face, Yang Qian picked up the wine glass and went to talk to the director consciously bored.

Zhao Peng was like a bolt from the blue when he received a call from Aida and learned that Phantom was going to be disbanded. He didn't know what to say to make Ye Tang feel better.

Seeing that he was absent-minded all day long, Ye Tang, who was completely unaware, asked, "Brother Peng, do you have something on your mind? I don't think you have much energy today."

"No, I'll fetch water for you." Zhao Peng quickly put on a smile, picked up the water bottle and walked out.

When I was in the hospital, Ye Tang would go for a walk in the small park behind the inpatient department every evening. There was a sandpit there, and the sick and hospitalized children would gather around the sandpit to play games after the sun went down. At this time, Ye Tang would also squat Play with children on the ground and compete who can build the tallest sandcastle.

Zhao Peng stood behind Ye Tang and looked at him silently. Although he didn't want to disturb his rare good mood, but things couldn't be kept secret forever, so he patted Ye Tang on the shoulder and signaled him to go to the small gazebo next to him.

Ye Tang went to the gazebo and sat down against the pillar. His left arm had been plastered off but he could not do strenuous exercise. His right hand, which was covered with sand, had to be wiped clean on his trousers. Then he asked Zhao Peng with an innocent face: "What are you doing today?" It seems very strange, did you get into trouble?"

Zhao Peng tentatively said, "Let's go through the discharge procedures and return to City H tomorrow morning."

"Okay, I wanted to go home a long time ago, and my body has almost recovered anyway."

"There is something I have to tell you, and you must hold on." Zhao Peng's sudden serious expression made Ye Tang flustered inexplicably, he wondered if something had happened to him.

Ye Tang nodded hesitantly and said, "You can tell me what, I can handle it."

Zhao Peng took a deep breath and said, "The company decided to disband Phantom last week, but I never dared to tell you."

The expression on Ye Tang's face suddenly froze, he was stunned for a long time before he could react, and asked quietly after a long while: "Why are you disbanding?"

Zhao Peng's Adam's apple moved but he didn't speak.

"Go and tell the company that my arm is fine, I can still dance and act, I, I can do anything." Ye Tang stood up and raised his left arm with difficulty, the pain made him instantly recognize the reality .

In fact, Ye Tang also knew in his heart that the current combination would no longer be able to create the value it used to be, and would only limit the personal development of Jiang Mingxu and Lin Runzhi, and he was the one who had nothing to achieve.

Seeing that Zhao Peng didn't answer, Ye Tang leaned down and put his arms on his knees before barely sitting still: "What do Xiao Ming and Xiao Run say?"

"I don't know. The day after tomorrow, the company's senior management will hold a meeting to discuss the dissolution. You will all go there then." Zhao Peng patted him on the shoulder encouragingly and said, "It's okay, you still have me. We will face everything together. The evening wind Don't catch a cold, let's go back to the ward."

Ye Tang got up slowly, feeling like a heavy burden was on his shoulders, and walked down the steps of the gazebo in a daze. Looking at his thin back, Zhao Peng couldn't help feeling sad. Not everything can be obtained through hard work, and Ye Tang is just one of the many misfortunes.

On the way back to City H, Ye Tang leaned against the car window and was full of thoughts. He really wanted to know what Jiang Mingxu and Lin Runzhi were thinking, but he didn't have the courage to ask them in person.

When Ye Tang came to the company's conference hall, he found that Jiang Mingxu was already waiting inside, so Ye Tang walked up to him and sat down. He wanted to say hello to him, but he didn't know how to speak. to see him.

Suddenly a warm feeling came from the back of his hand. Ye Tang lowered his head and saw Jiang Mingxu put his hand on the back of his hand. He raised his eyes to meet Jiang Mingxu's deep gaze in surprise.

"Don't worry, I won't leave you behind." Jiang Mingxu's voice was very soft, but extremely reassuring: "Does your arm still hurt?"

Ye Tang shook his head and smiled, "It doesn't hurt, it's completely healed."

Soon all the company executives and Lin Runzhi who participated in the meeting also arrived in the conference hall one after another, and everyone sat around the long table.

The meeting was presided over by Manager Zhang from the artist economics department. He was considered a relatively young member of the company's top management, but he was already half bald in his thirties.

Manager Zhang was also not polite, and directly said to Ye Tang and the other two: "The dissolution of Phantom is a matter that we have settled after many discussions. This meeting is mainly to formally inform the three of you that after the group activities stop, the company will Create a personal development plan for you."

"Can I say something?" Jiang Mingxu looked straight at Manager Zhang without fear: "I know that at our current age, it is really not suitable for us to take the group idol route, but I personally think that the existence of a group is still valuable, and Phantom is our idol. I don’t want to disband the three brands that were created with the company’s hard work.”

Manager Zhang smiled: "Whether you want to disband has nothing to do with the company, we only consider the actual situation. You were young before, and the addition of three people will have an effect greater than three."

Manager Zhang paused and looked at Ye Tang and continued, "But now the group has not only failed to give full play to its advantages, but also restricted the development of individual outstanding artists. We will definitely consider disbanding the group. Ye Tang, are you right?"

Ye Tang knew that Manager Zhang was implying that he was holding back the other two, but it would be a bit unkind to speak out in front of so many people, so he could only silently bow his head like a schoolboy being criticized.

Jiang Mingxu couldn't understand Manager Zhang deliberately targeting Ye Tang, so he elbowed Lin Runzhi next to him: "Just say something, you don't agree with the dissolution, right?"

Lin Runzhi took a deep breath and said slowly, "I agree to disband."

Ye Tang looked at him in disbelief, and Jiang Mingxu stood up angrily, pointed at Lin Runzhi and said, "Say it again."

Ye Tang secretly tugged at the hem of his clothes to signal him to sit down.

"I agree to disband the group." Lin Runzhi raised his eyes to look directly at Jiang Mingxu's angry eyes and emphasized again.

Although the disbandment of the group is an unchangeable fact, Ye Tang always thought that Lin Runzhi would at least think about the ten-year friendship between the three and show a little reluctance. Who would have thought that he would slap the other two in the face so simply in front of everyone? , It would be a lie to say that it is not chilling.

Ye Tang thought to himself, since Lin Runzhi didn't want to stay in the group anymore, there was no need to persevere for the dream of the three of them.

"There's nothing to discuss about this matter, let's just let it go." Ye Tang said with a wry smile.

"No! I don't agree!" Jiang Mingxu still gritted his teeth and insisted on arguing with other executives with his hands on the table: "Even if Phantom is not as good as before, it still has a ten-year operating foundation. What should we do if we dismiss the fans who support the group rashly! "

At this time, GARY assistant from the event planning department suddenly interjected: "We have also considered the problem of dealing with fans of the group. After all, they are still very valuable. At present, we are discussing and planning to hold a farewell concert for Phantom. At that time, we can produce more groups. Peripheral souvenirs can also be used as a [-]th anniversary album collection."

"This is hunger marketing." Manager Zhang nodded with a smile: "Fans know that Phantom will be disbanded, and they will definitely increase their purchases for collection."

Ye Tang lowered his head to prevent others from seeing his mocking expression. These old slickers really thought of everything, even disbanding the group did not forget to squeeze out the remaining value of the fans before throwing them away.

"Let's adjourn the meeting if there are no other questions." Manager Zhang packed up the documents and got up.

The other senior executives left in a hurry without saying a word. They didn't want to waste time on the things they had already decided.

For the executives of the performing arts company, being able to hold a special meeting to inform is the greatest understanding given to the artist.

There were only three people left in the empty meeting room.Lin Runzhi was about to get up and leave, but Jiang Mingxu grabbed his collar and asked, "What are you thinking?"

"I think you need to calm down." Lin Runzhi pushed his hands away to straighten the wrinkled collar, walked directly to Ye Tang and said, "Can you hear me say a few words?"

Ye Tang nodded but lowered his eyes not to look at him.

"I'm two or three years older than you all, and I'm about to turn 34. I really can't sing and dance on stage to please fans, do things I don't want to do, and say things against my will."

Lin Runzhi sighed: "I just want to settle down and concentrate on writing songs, marry my girlfriend and start a family. She has been waiting for me for four years, and even dating has to be sneaky for fear of being photographed and affecting my popularity. And...she is pregnant."

"I understand." Ye Tanghong nodded with eyes circled and said, "Remember to ask us to be best man when you get married."

"Definitely." Lin Runzhi looked at Jiang Mingxu, and put his arms around the two of them, as if cheering them on for the first time at a concert.

"Even if we separate, we have to be good. We can still drink together in the future."

Looking at Lin Runzhi's back as he drifted away, Ye Tang knew that he might never drink this wine again.
