Le Yao answered the phone for a long time after dialing. She asked me in surprise: "Zhaoyang, why did you call me suddenly?"

Because I was eager to know the answer, I asked without any delay: "I have read today's entertainment news, just to ask if you are true."

Le Yao was silent first, then smiled and said, "Of course it's not true. You should know that my last drama is about to be broadcast, so this is just a routine hype before the broadcast."

Although Le Yao gave me a reasonable explanation, I still asked with some doubts: "Even if it was a routine hype before the broadcast, it should be the female lead in the same drama, right?"

Le Yao said disdainfully: "What topic can a person who has been copied to the point of being criticized? Although I am not the female lead, I am also one of the heroines. I am younger and more beautiful than her. It is definitely more valuable to create topics in me than to her... By the way, I have officially signed a contract with a film and television company and will be the newcomer that the company will support next year."

The resentment towards the female lead in Le Yao's words made me realize that this person was probably the one who slapped her last time.

I fell into silence. The entertainment industry has always been a Vocational and wealth fair. If you want to stand in this Vocational and wealth fair, the sacrifices you need to make are unimaginable for ordinary people. Maybe I shouldn’t focus on the hype incident against Le Yao. On the contrary, I should sincerely say "congratulations" to her. After all, signing a contract with a film and television company can be considered as having a guarantee in this circle...

In my silence, Le Yao said to me again: "Zhaoyang, I won't tell you first. I will have a dinner party later."

"Okay, then I won't bother you."

I thought Le Yao would hang up the phone, but she was silent on the phone and said to me for a long time: "Thank you for caring for me... I will always remember the island across the sea and the man who raised smoke on the island for me."

"Have you just remember but gave up on pursuing?"

Le Yao smiled with a loss: "The world is like a bubble. When you see through the falsehood of the bubble, you are unwilling to pursue the unreachable sincerity... You should understand: when you enter this circle, I can no longer control me."

Le Yao didn't give me a chance to speak anymore. After she finished speaking, she hung up the phone, but I was a little lost.

Why did she get the opportunity to sign a contract with a film and television company in just a short period of time when she went to Beijing? And how did she get such a hype opportunity?

Perhaps she had already chosen her own path at this time, but I couldn't tell whether she had taken the right path or the wrong path, because there was no right or wrong, but the perspective of the examination was different. In ordinary people's eyes, it might be a wrong path, but if you look at it from the perspective of the entertainment industry, it is a path for the fittest to survive.

With a sigh, I put my phone back in my pocket, but the sky was already dark. I walked along the street lights toward the prosperity of the city. In the overlap of darkness and light and shadow, the world gradually became the bubble in Le Yao's mouth, so false!... So how could I blame Le Yao for his soul in this bubble?

...

He called me again, and after answering, she asked me, "Zhaoyang, have you contacted Le Yao?"

"Um."

"What did she say?" cc asked with concern.

"She said it was a routine hype before the new drama started. By the way, she signed a film and television company."

After cc was silent for a while, he said, "I know, she told me... As friends, let's congratulate her. After all, the contract was a large-scale film and television company, and there would be a settlement in the future."

"Yeah." I responded in the complexity of my emotions.

cc thought of something and said to me: "There is another thing. This time Le Yao also introduced a job for Robben to create the theme song for a play being prepared. Robben may be going to Beijing to negotiate tomorrow, so you have to worry about the bar!"

"Really? Such an opportunity is really rare for Robben. This is a great thing! I can handle the bar alone."

cc smiled and said, "What do you take it alone! Isn't it mine... But I'm really happy for Robben. I heard that the drama introduced by Le Yao to him is a big production. I hope he can seize this opportunity. After all, he has been suffering for so many years!"

"Yes, I wish him and Le Yao can go further in this circle!"

...

When I returned to my residence, I was lying on the bed smoking, but I didn’t feel like I wanted to have dinner. Leyao was once simple, and her simple figure always swayed in my mind, so I couldn’t imagine what she would look like next time I met her, maybe she was already a mature woman with a star aura.

It was already nine o'clock in the evening, and I finally felt hungry, but I didn't want to make a dinner for myself too much, so I took out the noodles from the refrigerator and prepared to cook a bowl of noodles and eat it just to make do.

During the meal, I unexpectedly received a call from Fang Yuan. His voice was very low on the phone and asked me to accompany him out for a few drinks. When I asked him what had happened, he had already hung up the phone.

I thought he had a conflict with Yan Yan, so I didn't care about the noodles, so I immediately took a taxi to the restaurant he had made an appointment with him.

When he arrived at the restaurant, he had already ordered the wine and drank it alone in a bit dull manner.

I sat down opposite him and asked with concern: "What's wrong? Did you quarrel with Yan Yan?"

Fang Yuan poured me a glass of wine and told me to drink first. Because I wanted to know what he was looking for me, I drank a glass of white wine in one gulp and waited for his answer.

Fang Yuan drank another glass of white wine, sighed heavily and said to me: "Chen Jingming may be in the company this time, and someone in the senior management wants to touch him!"

I was deeply shocked and never expected that Fang Yuan would find me to be related to Chen Jingming. What surprised me even more was that Chen Jingming, who has rich experience in the workplace, would actually fall!!

Chen Jingming was a boss who gave me a lot of help and made me respect him. I asked Fang Yuan with concern: "What's wrong with him?"

"...Do you still remember Li Junren, executive vice president of Polygon Department Store?"

"Of course I remember!"

Fang Yuan sighed and said, "Chen Jingming has been very unwilling to accept the opportunity to become the company's vice president last time, so he attacked Li Junren. You know that these senior executives have more or less stains. Chen Jingming collected some of Li Junren's personal style mistakes and informed them to General Manager Yang Huaqing, but..."

I continued on behalf of Fang Yuan: "But Yang Huaqing saved Li Junren, and Li Junren also found out about Chen Jingming's attack on Li Junren."

Fang Yuan nodded and said, "Well... Chen Jingming was too impatient. Although Li Junren's style was not upright, it did not affect the fundamental interests of the company. With his position in the company, the senior management at most warned that there would be no substantial severe punishment..."

I already understood the whole story and felt deeper self-blame. I knew that Chen Jingming's cautious attitude towards things would not have made such low-level mistakes. The reason I made it was because his age had determined that his chances of promotion were becoming increasingly slim, so he took such a great risk to move Executive Vice President Li Junren, but unfortunately: he failed!

In the final analysis, Chen Jingming's failure was caused by me indirectly. If I hadn't destroyed his opportunity, he would have become the deputy general manager of Polygon Department Store with justification, and he would not have to take any risks and end up in a precarious situation.

Fang Yuan was silent for a long time before he said to me: "If Chen Jingming collapsed, I will definitely not be able to stay at Poly Department Store... Zhaoyang, at this time I have to prepare a way out for myself and Chen Jingming... I hope you can help us."

I didn't react for a moment and asked, "How to help?"

"Introduce Chen Jingming and me to Zhuomei... With your relationship with Mi Cai, I believe there is no problem. Moreover, Zhuomei's shopping mall in Shanghai is about to be put into operation. The company's middle and senior management personnel must be in short supply. Of course, with the resources Chen Jingming has mastered in the workplace over the years, it can help Zhuomei more or less. This is good for both parties!" Fang Yuan showed expectations and waited for my reply.
