Chapter 40: Everyone’s Idol (10)


    Editor:As Studios


    The acquisition of Jewel Entertainment was not very smooth as Jewel Entertainment, after all, was still a profitablepany. It was not until Chuzheng had asked to acquire it at a high price that the other party agreed.


    The acquisition team was full of disbelief and shock when they had heard about it.


    Which family’s prodigal was she?


    How long were they going to take to earn back that money? Had she gone nuts?!


    However, since she was their employer, they did not dare to say it to her face and could onlyin secretly.


    Pei Yu was also taken by surprise. Previously, he had sworn to Su Jiu that he was not a manager from Jewel Entertainment yet in the next moment, he became an employee there…


    Oh my!


    One would never know what would happen from one minute to the next.


    Theter stage of the drama productions was mainly focused on filming the outdoor scenes. As such, Chuzheng left with the production team and her departure meant a two months journey.<div>


    She only came back after the drama had wrapped up the filming.


    “Let go!”


    Chuzheng dried her hands and looked at the male washroom beside her.


    That day was the wrap party and since she was the investor as well as the second female lead, she had to be present.


    Chuzheng dried her hands and the phone in her pocket vibrated. The caller was Su Jiu.


    Chuzheng answered the call and there was a lot of noise on the phone. She then heard a man’s voice which was clearly filled with evil intentions.


    Chuzheng looked towards the male washroom and confirmed that the noise on the phone was the same as the noiseing out of the washroom.


    ‘This must be a coincidence!’


    [Little miss, if you don’t go in, he will be finished! Why are you hesitating? Quickly go in!]King pressed the panic button when it saw Chuzheng’s nonchnt response to the situation.


    Chuzheng:’He even needs my help with this kind of thing? How does it concern me? It’s the male washroom!”


    [Nonsense! Obviously, you have to save him! If you don’t save him, how are you going to be a friend?]’For the sake of being friendzoned, just do it!’


    Chuzheng was speechless.


    ‘Why is he so troublesome?’


    ‘A bunch of weaklings!’


    […]’Before a guy bes tainted, he will obviously be weak! If he was strong, would he walk onto the wrong path? What an ignorant person!’


    The ignorant Chuzheng stuffed her phone back into her pocket and fiercely barged into the male washroom.


    There was nobody in the washroom however someone was kicking the cubicle door. She walked to the cubicle and pulled the door open, but to no avail.


    Chuzheng took a step backward.


    ‘Take a deep breath and kick!’<div>


    “Peng!”


    The cubicle door was kicked open and knocked onto the people inside. The man—whose looks were still eptable—furiously red at her to see who had spoiled his great ns.


    In the end, he saw ady standing outside and froze momentarily.


    At that moment, Chuzheng went forward and kicked the person away before pulling Su Jiu over. Su Jiu had a knife in his hands and he almost stabbed Chuzheng in a flurry.<div>


    Su Jiu was scared out of his wits causing his hands to tremble and the knife dropped onto the ground with a thud.


    Su Jiu’s blood ran cold and his eyes were slightly red in fear. He even bit his lips till it bled.


    Blood as red as a rose coupled with pale lips. Itbined to give a gorgeous picture.


    “Who are you?” The man got up. “Mind your own business.”


    Chuzheng bent down to pick up the knife and point it towards the man. The man immediately moved back in fear.


    “What are you trying to do?”


    The man fell onto the toilet seat and thedy yed with the knife with a face devoid of expression. She then plunged the knife in between his legs and the man was so scared that he split his legs.


    The knife just nicely plunged into the toilet seat cover.


    Chuzheng raised her eyes to meet the man’s terrified ones. “If you don’t take care of ‘your third leg’, I will take care of it for you next time.”


    The man was so scared that he did not even dare to breathe. This woman’s aura was too scary…


    “Strip.”


    The man:


    Perhaps he was scared by her, the man did not move.<div>


    Chuzheng took out the knife and stabbed it into the toilet seat cover again. Her tone became colder than just now. “Strip.”


    “Okay, okay, I will strip.”


    Chuzheng brought Su Jiu out of the washroom and threw the man’s clothes and phone into the dustbin. She washed her hands and turned around to face Su Jiu.


    By then, Su Jiu’s face had lost all color as he gripped his clothes so tightly that the tip of his fingers turned pale and stood beside her.


    “Where’s Pei Yu?”


    Su Jiu heard a voice and looked at Chuzheng like a lost deer.


    The young man looked as if he was a doll with no soul?—delicate yet not angry—only looking at her in silence.


    Chuzheng called Pei Yu and Pei Yu immediately rushed over.


    “President Gu? What happened?” Pei Yu looked at Su Jiu. “Su Jiu?”


    ‘Didn’t he just go to the washroom? How did he meet my boss? Something is not right.’


    “Why did you bring him here?” asked Chuzheng.


    “…to attend a wine tasting event.” Pei Yu waspletely dumbfounded.


    “He doesn’t have to attend these. Bring him back and take care of the person inside.”<div>


    Pei Yu looked towards the washroom and seemed to understand something.


    “President Gu, I have neglected my duty.” He thought that nothing could happen in a toilet and did not know that this could happen.


    For the past two months of being Su Jiu’s manager, he had to admit that Su Jiu was a smart man and was really suitable for acting. It was just that his face was too eye-catching.


    Be it, man or woman…


    If Su Jiu did not have a strong backing, he definitely would not survive in this industry. The worst-case scenario would be that he would be someone’s personal ve.


    “This shouldn’t happen again.” ‘I have to save him every time! How troublesome.’


    “It won’t, it won’t.” His boss had already given her instructions. He would not dare to bring Su Jiu to attend such events again.


    It was not until Chuzheng left that Pei Yu heaved a sigh of relief. He did not even know which wealthy family she came from…


    “Su Jiu, are you alright?” Pei Yu looked at Su Jiu.


    Su Jiu shook his head while still in a blur before pulling Su Jiu’s arms. He asked in a hoarse voice, “She’s your boss, isn’t she?”


    “Yup.” Pei Yu said while looking at his contacts, “Su Jiu, you cannot offend her. You must know that in this industry, only she has your back right now.”


    Pei Yu checked the identity of the person in the washroom and confirmed that everything was fine before getting rid of him quickly.


    “Come on, I will send you home.”<div>


    Pei Yu brought Su Jiu back to his condominium apartment.


    Su Jiu could no longer remember what Pei Yu had told him and just let his apartment fall into silence.


    Only she has your back right now.


    This sentence repeatedly appeared in Su Jiu’s mind.


    She was different from the others. She looked at him as though he was an object. She had no desire for him and she always had that cold look.


    However, if she did not desire him, why would she…


    Su Jiu lowered his head and looked at his phone. His phone screen brightened and darkened a few times.


    After a moment, he looked at his call history and thest person he called was…


    At that time, the man suddenly came in and he could not take out his phone from his pocket. He was just trying to press some buttons and did not know that he really made the call.


    ‘So she especially came in to save me?’


    ‘No, why would she appear over there so coincidentally?’


    Su Jiu was noting up with a conspiracy theory, but he had experienced too much and could not believe people so easily.


    Su Jiu gave Pei Yu a call.


    “Brother Yu, may I ask why was President Gu… there?”


    “Oh. President Gu’s drama has just finished filming and the wrap party was coincidentally held there. What’s wrong?”


    “Not-Nothing.” ‘Was it just a coincidence?’


    “Alright, rest early. Tomorrow, I will hire a bodyguard to make sure that this doesn’t happen again.”


    Pei Yu nagged a few sentences and ended the call.


    Su Jiuy on his bed as he watched the light from the chandelier reflect into his eyes just like a crystal flower blossoming—crystal clear yet soulless.


    He raised his phone up and put it down before raising it up again and putting it down.


    His long and slender fingers swiped his phone and opened his messaging app. He typed a few words slowly.


    But he quickly deleted it.


    He typed again…


    And delete…


    Type…


    Delete…


    After repeating that a few times, Su Jiu only sent two words over in the end.
