74 First Encounter 02

In the lobby of xx Hotel, Jiahua Entertainment's annual party is going on in an orderly manner.

The formally dressed artists under the flag compete with each other, and they are bound to want to overwhelm each other, perform well in front of many media, and get more opportunities to show up.

On the sofa in the corner isolated from the bustle, the man in the white suit lowered his head, took off his coat and put it behind him, holding up the glass of wine in front of the table unsteadily, his eyes were distracted and hard to focus, he couldn't wait to see whether it was water or wine in the glass , red and white alternately, and send them to the mouth in turn.

The uncomfortable feeling in his stomach covered his eyes with mist, and he blinked vigorously. He thought, he really shouldn't come.

Jiahua Entertainment's annual party invited a large number of media to conduct live broadcast reports. On the surface, they wanted to promote the corporate culture, but everyone knew in their hearts that they just wanted to take the opportunity to hype a wave of newcomers and expose them to the public in advance. The handsome appearance first attracted a wave of attention.Many well-known people in the circle were also specially invited as guests to participate in order to increase the exposure of the topic.

Cheng Chen sighed, it was undoubtedly a slap in the face for a little transparent like him who had been out of date for many years to participate.

Newcomers don't know him and won't come to chat with him, and the old people even disdain to be in the same frame with him, losing their rank.

Cheng Chen secretly rejoiced that, apart from cynicism, at least the drinks at the party were free.

After drinking another glass, I vaguely heard whispers in the crowd, as if another guest came halfway.

Cheng Chen was almost drunk, and there was nothing wrong with him anyway, he was going to leave before the party was over, otherwise it would be inconvenient for him to take a taxi at the door due to the crowds.

He grabbed the jacket at the side and carefully put it on the crook of his arm. He borrowed the suit from a friend's store, and he had to return it after it was dry-cleaned. It would be hard to explain if it got dirty.

Cheng Chen was already a little delirious from drinking, his head was dizzy, and he could barely stand up with his thighs propped up.

After Zhu Lichuan arrived, he deliberately bypassed the crowd, but he was recognized unexpectedly, and many unfamiliar faces greeted him, wanting to clink glasses with him.

Normally, Zhu Lichuan, who has always been gentle and humble, would still be courteous to them, but now, from a distance, he saw the drunk Cheng Chen staggering towards him, not even caring about the politeness. Get on it, leave the sentence "I drove here today." and leave directly.

Zhu Lichuan quietly moved towards the direction Cheng Chen was going to pass by, waiting for the drunken prey to come to his door.

Cheng Chen lowered his head and only looked at his feet clearly. He didn't notice that there was a human wall standing in front of him, so he bumped into it and took two steps back before he stood still.

He didn't look up, just muttered softly: "I actually hit the wall."

Seeing Wen Ruan who crashed into his arms still regarded himself as a wall, Zhu Lichuan raised his eyebrows slightly and couldn't help laughing.His hands were itchy, as if he could hold Cheng Chen into his arms as long as he stretched out his hand, preventing others from seeing his drunken and cute appearance.

Zhu Lichuan could only see Cheng Chen's foolish cuteness, but when the scheming media reporters saw Cheng Chen bumping into actor Zhu, they turned around and left as if nothing had happened, and all focused on the two of them. Looking forward to Zhu Lichuan's next reaction.

However, the development of the matter disappointed them. Zhu Lichuan did not aggressively express his dissatisfaction, and he did not even wrinkle his eyebrows. There was still a warm and faint smile on his face, as if he did not take Cheng Chen's rebellion seriously, but followed Cheng Chen. Chen walked a few steps behind, made sure that he would not bump into others, and escorted him slowly towards the hotel gate.

Zhu Lichuan's careful care fell into the eyes of gossip reporters, and naturally changed his tone.

Since we can't get Zhu Lichuan's first-hand black information, we should use it as a gimmick and report it well.They all condemned the young Cheng Chen for playing big cards, intentionally antagonizing the film king, and not even apologizing for bumping into someone, which is really rude.He even wrote vigorously to wish the actor's tolerance and openness, boasting of his generosity, not caring about Cheng Chen, and even taking good care of his drunken juniors.

If you can't blackmail Zhu Lichuan, then avoid offending him, and avoid Zhu Lichuan's reckoning and public diss.

Cheng Chen's head was already dizzy, but after bumping it, it became even more dizzy.

He was heavy, wobbly, and almost fell down the steps. He didn't know which kind-hearted person stretched out his hand to help him, thanked him in a low voice, and left directly, even the coat on his arm fell off. Didn't pay attention on the ground either.

After witnessing Cheng Chen disappearing from sight, Zhu Lichuan reluctantly rubbed his still tactile palm and walked back to the hall.

All my heart is attached to the person who has already left, and I haven't dealt with it for a few minutes before pretending to be hypocritical, and directly use the ridiculous reason of going back to the award ceremony, get up and leave without nostalgia.

Sure enough, Cheng Chen, who used to walk to and from get off work in the past, didn't have a nanny car to pick him up tonight. Zhu Lichuan ran a few steps and easily found Cheng Chen, an alcoholic who hadn't gone far and was retching while hugging a tree trunk.

He was not in a hurry to approach, and after a distance, he looked at Cheng Chen's lost back with deep and focused eyes.

Cheng Chen couldn't help it. Cheng Chen, who had already vomited twice, still felt uncomfortable in his stomach. In order to be more photogenic, he didn't eat all day today. As a result, no one paid attention to him when he arrived, and it was a waste of effort to dress up carefully.

The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, his body became limp and he squatted on the ground, his nose felt sore unconsciously, he sighed, and looked around, as if there was no one else, he broke down emotionally and sobbed undisguisedly.

He couldn't figure out what he did wrong. Although he wasn't the best and most talented one, he felt that he had worked hard enough to make him feel sorry for himself.

In the six years since his debut, he has tried his best to do his job well, constantly improving his professional ability, and going all out to fight for the opportunity.However, fortune was always on the opposite side of him, and never made his path go smoother, instead it became darker and darker, unable to see the light that belonged to him.

Surrounding him, apart from the suppression and cynicism from his peers, there are casual insults and condemnations from netizens who are not familiar with him as a person.

He seems to have become a humble rock, anyone can step on it cheaply.

Cheng Chen cried louder and louder, as if he wanted to pour out all the discomfort and pain that was pent up in his heart through drunkenness.

He originally thought that his heart was tough enough, but when he thought of the grievances he had suffered over the years, it still hurt so badly that he almost couldn't hold on anymore.

When Cheng Chen first debuted, he became popular for a while with his outstanding appearance and pleasing personality.At that time, the agent also thought that he was a good potential stock, and he would definitely be popular, so he picked up a youth idol drama for him while the iron was hot, hoping that he could show his own advantages in the public eye through the screen.

Although his manager's initial plan for his stardom was to start as a singer, Cheng Chen even paid for his own training for a few months to prepare for his debut album.But since it was the company's arrangement, the ignorant Cheng Chen naturally chose to obey.

But he never expected that the man he met at the opening banquet could completely change his fate, push him to the bottom of the valley, and make him unable to stand up.

Before Cheng Chen was scouted, he was busy making ends meet and didn't know much about the entertainment industry.

But at the beginning, it went smoothly. The agent cared about him, the company pushed him vigorously, and the resources in his hands were among the best among the same group of newcomers.What surprised him even more was that the salary he got was much higher than the average job, so Cheng Chen, who had tasted the sweetness, wanted to work harder to get more people's love.

But no one told him that there would be a group of nasty people in the circle, regardless of gender, who would only pick on simple and motivated people, using the excuse of giving them excellent resources, but in fact they were just trying to coax them into bed and do dirty things.

Cheng Chen, who has never seen the world, is pure and ignorant, but he is not stupid, and he will not be so lowly as to sell his body to please others.

He could hear the unspoken rules hidden in the words of the greasy man at the dinner table, unlike the other people at the same table who were euphemistic, the straightforward Cheng Chen put down his chopsticks and left after being verbally insulted.

Cheng Chen was crying and laughing, he was a little regretful, if he hadn't been so impulsive at the beginning, wouldn't he have a different scene now.

But he couldn't ignore the man's ugly face and the obscenity in his eyes.

"Ugh……"

Cheng Chenzai

He sighed for the first time, smiled bitterly, stumbled up from the ground, and was about to stop the car to go home. When the people inside came out, they would inevitably laugh again when they saw his downcast appearance.

"Excuse me." There was a sound of unhurried footsteps behind him, followed by a deep, magnetic voice, "Is this your clothes?"

Cheng Chen turned his head and saw the tall man standing behind him, he shook his head, the figure did not disappear, it was not an illusion.

His face flushed, and he didn't know how long this man had been standing behind him, what he heard, and whether he saw his ugly face.

Zhu Lichuan couldn't see the blush on Cheng Chen's face, he just thought his panicked appearance was really pleasing, which made people's hearts soften.

"Your clothes?" He took out his white suit jacket, chuckled lightly, and sent another message.

Cheng Chen's vision was blurred, and he suddenly realized that he was groping around and found that the coat hanging on his arm had long since disappeared. He bent down and apologized repeatedly.

"Thank you." His tongue was numb and knotted, and he couldn't even speak clearly.

He stretched out his hand to take back his clothes, but never thought that Zhu Li Chuan would take a step back.

Cheng Chen pointed to the clothes on Zhu Lichuan's shoulders, and said awkwardly, "Mine"

"I know." Zhu Lichuan smiled maliciously, "I helped you retrieve your clothes, shouldn't you thank me?"

"Thank you." Cheng Chen bent down again and said thank you intermittently.

"How about treating me to dinner?" Zhu Lichuan suggested, "I haven't eaten today, so I will return the clothes to you after I have eaten."

Cheng Chen raised his head and stared straight at the man in front of him. His vision was blurred and he couldn't see his expression clearly, so he nodded slightly and agreed.

I groped around on my body and said embarrassedly: "I don't seem to have any money"

Zhu Lichuan took out the wallet from Cheng Chen's coat pocket, glanced at it, and saw that there was an ID card in it, gently raised the corner of his mouth, and said softly, "I beg you, remember to return it to me next time."

"Okay," Cheng Chen had no choice but to agree.

Followed behind Zhu Lichuan, got into his car for no apparent reason.

The car was unusually quiet, Cheng Chen hiccupped a few times from time to time, pouted his face, and asked slowly, "What's your name?"

Zhu Lichuan didn't reply, but asked instead: "What about you?"

"Cheng Chengchen" Cheng Chen lowered his head after finishing speaking, he was worried that the man next to him would tell him to get off the car after hearing his name after reading the false reports on the Internet.

Instead of the expected ridicule, there was a relaxed and happy laugh.

He heard the man say,

"After waiting for so long, I finally know."
