King of People

More than seven years ago, Zhu Yilin and Lu Jiachuan got along very easily. Lu Jiachuan couldn't speak in front of him, and he himself was similar. He would often say directly "Why are you so stupid", "You are so stupid", "You are so annoying Buzzing next to my ears" words like this made Lu Jiachuan jump up in anger, rolled up his sleeves and scolded him.

Now, seven years later, they seem to have resumed their relationship as soon as they met again, but in fact there is still a distance.

Zhu Yilin noticed the restraint buried under the intimacy on the surface. Every time Lu Jiachuan spoke, he had to think carefully, be polite, and be a little tentative, as if he was afraid that what he said would be inappropriate and make the scene awkward.

This is the rift that time has carved between them.

Lu Jiachuan grew up, Zhu Yilin also changed, and only memories remained in place.

Zhu Yilin took off his coat, and asked Lu Jiachuan to sit down: "You wait by yourself for a while, I'll take a shower."

Lu Jiachuan sat down on the sofa in the living room, looked around, and said, "Okay, did you open this room yourself?"

"No, the film crew will be reimbursed." Zhu Yilin wanted to go directly to the bathroom, but when he saw Lu Jiachuan from the corner of his eye, he hesitated and went back to the bedroom to get a long-sleeved bathrobe.

Lu Jiachuan didn't pay attention to his detailed reaction, and deliberately sighed with a half-truth and half-fake tone: "The big stars are different, let alone the crappy hotel where I stayed in the group."

Zhu Yilin laughed lowly, and said jokingly: "Next time you can ask me to reimburse you."

"really?"

"Ah."

Lu Jiachuan also laughed: "Isn't that good? It's too obvious to hug my thighs, people will say I'm a softie."

"How can brother's rice be called soft rice?" Zhu Yilin leaned against the door of the bathroom, staring at Lu Jiachuan.

He is not suitable for joking, his expression is always too serious, it is easy for people to misunderstand, suspecting that he is not telling a joke, but trying to express some kind of hidden intention.

But even if he intends to do so, the other party may not be able to receive it.

For example, at this moment, Lu Jiachuan didn't react at all.

Lu Jiachuan was so stupid, Zhu Yilin, who was just in love, once complained like this late at night.

That day was the weekend, Lu Jiachuan came to ask him to do his homework, he stayed in bed at night, and slept with him.

A sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy has actually reached the age where he knows everything and is not pure anymore.

But Lu Jiachuan was still like an ignorant little cutie, pretending to be innocent all day long, deliberately getting into his quilt at night, and sleeping together with his arms around his waist.Zhu Yilin was stiff all over, and asked him annoyedly, "Am I your mother?"

Lu Jiachuan acted like a baby: "I don't have a mother, what's wrong with hugging my brother?"

Then it got worse, rubbing against him dishonestly.

Lu Jiachuan may really think that he is a little cutie, but he is not small at all, the young boy is as tall as a bamboo joint, Zhu Yilin remembers that Lu Jiachuan was not as tall as him at first, but then he suddenly found that this little boy grew up secretly, as if overnight.

Lu Jiachuan was like a young tiger exerting all its strength, and it suppressed him with a few pushes.

Zhu Yilin blushed from embarrassment, the change under his body made him overreact, he pushed Lu Jiachuan away abruptly, then silently picked up the pillow, and ran to sleep in the living room.

Zhu Yilin had thought about revealing the relationship and telling Lu Jiachuan his feelings.

But the closer they are and the more familiar they are, the farther away they are from being in love. Instead, they are like best friends, like relatives. Zhu Yilin is afraid that after saying it, their friendship will be broken. People who have experience say that good friends can't Fall in love, otherwise you can't even be friends.

What's more, he and Lu Jiachuan are both boys.

These sour emotions, after many years, still surged in Zhu Yilin's heart like a tide, but now he has been able to keep calm.

Zhu Yilin enters the bathroom to take a shower.

When he came out, Lu Jiachuan was staring at a poster on the wall with his back turned to him.

It was a still photo taken by Zhu Yilin before, Tan Xiaoqing liked it, and I don't know when it was hung up.

Hearing footsteps behind him, Lu Jiachuan turned his head and smiled at him: "Are you feeling better? Are you still burning badly?"

Zhu Yilin nodded: "It's much better."

Lu Jiachuan breathed a sigh of relief, but still felt uneasy, and asked him where the thermometer was, wanting to take his temperature.

Zhu Yilin refused, he knew that he still had a fever and a little headache, but there was no need to make a big deal out of it.

He simply wiped his hair, sent the towel back to the bathroom, sat down opposite Lu Jiachuan, and said, "Let's talk about what we didn't talk about yesterday, how about it?"

Lu Jiachuan was slightly taken aback, as if he had already forgotten about this, and then remembered that Zhu Yilin came to him because he had something to talk about: "Well, tell me."

"Don't be so nervous, it's not a big deal." Zhu Yilin said, "Did you not sign with the company now? Do you have any plans in the future?"

Lu Jiachuan nodded: "Several companies have approached me, but we haven't decided yet."

"What do you think of Xingsong?"

"..."

Xingsong Entertainment is a company run by Wen Xian. On the surface, the boss is Wen Xian, but in fact the absolute controlling shareholder is Zhu Yilin.

Zhu Yilin Studio belongs to Ode to Star Entertainment.

Lu Jiachuan was not surprised by his sudden invitation, otherwise why would Zhu Yilin seek him?It's not hard to guess at all.

"I haven't made up my mind yet." Lu Jiachuan stared down at his fingers, and said softly, "Those few are not suitable for me, I think..."

He hesitated for a moment, but did not hide his true thoughts: "...Xing Song is not suitable for me either."

After saying this, Lu Jiachuan noticed that Zhu Yilin was silent for a while, raised his head, and seemed to feel embarrassed: "I don't mean anything else, I just—"

"Well, I know." Zhu Yilin interrupted him, thinking that sure enough, Lu Jiachuan's character to the outside world is not bluffing, he is indeed very tempered, although he looks very good in front of him, but he will not be angry because of them. If you have friendship, you can listen to him. Lu Jiachuan has his own ideas.

This is a good thing, Zhu Yilin felt that he should praise him, his younger brother has grown up and is very mature.

But it also means that their friendship is completely useless.

Zhu Yilin suppressed unnecessary emotions that shouldn't be there, and tried to think from an objective point of view.

Where is it inappropriate?

Ode to the Stars has a large scale. It has been in the limelight in the industry for the past few years. It is one of the most successful brokerage companies. In addition to the ace artist Zhu Yilin, there are many popular actors, singers, and potential stocks. The company's market value It has been rising year by year, and is unanimously favored by capital.

Is it a matter of style?

Indeed, under Wen Xian's management, Xingsong is very commercialized.

In this era, there is no company that is not commercialized, but Xingsong is one of the leaders.

Ms. Wen Xian is well versed in the way of making stars. She personally put Zhu Yilin on the altar and created an unparalleled signboard.

Then, she settled on this route. Every artist under Ode to the Stars has its own unique "personality", just like each piece of exquisite commodity, which is labeled by Mr. Wen, put on the shelf, and then spent A lot of public relations expenses are used to maintain their "personality".

For this point, the industry understands, and netizens also know.

But marketing is a science. Even if everyone knows that she is marketing, Wen Xian can still grasp the public psychology, target social pain points, guide public opinion, and popularize the people she wants to fire.

She is a powerful woman.

But people have different perspectives on things. At present, Lu Jiachuan doesn't seem to like Xingsong's style.

Zhu Yilin didn't want to talk too much about business, talking about business with Lu Jiachuan would make him feel a little uncomfortable.

But since he opened his mouth, there is no need to hide anything, it is better to speak clearly, so as not to deepen the estrangement.

"Song of the Stars... isn't suitable?" Zhu Yilin said calmly, "What do you think is inappropriate? If it's because you don't like it, I don't think it's necessary to consider too much personal preference for business cooperation, just negotiate the terms. If you are worried that the conditions are not suitable, I will ask Wen Xian to come and have a good talk with you, including the route you will take in the future, until you are satisfied."

The chandelier in the living room was brightly lit, making Zhu Yilin's face pale. He was so good-looking, indifferent and gentle, and gentle. When he sat there quietly, he was like a painting without flaws. It was so perfect Startled.

Lu Jiachuan lost his mind slightly, Zhu Yilin called him: "Don't you want to talk to me?"

"No, it's not." The dodge in Lu Jiachuan's eyes flashed away, it was the second time today, Zhu Yilin frowned, how could he be distracted when talking to himself?What are you thinking?

His dissatisfaction was a little obvious, and Lu Jiachuan suddenly felt embarrassed: "I don't want to talk, I'd love to go to your company, but I... I may not be able to control my temper, and I'm not sure when something will go wrong, like What I did a few times ago made it difficult for the agency to handle."

It turned out that he was worried about this, Zhu Yilin breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, these are trivial matters, Wen Xian will take care of them, don't worry."

Lu Jiachuan said: "But I don't want to listen to her and 'handle' according to her request."

Zhu Yilin was taken aback, Lu Jiachuan hesitated for a moment, but finally did not hide it: "I don't want to be a hypocritical commodity, and I dare not tell the truth under the camera."

"..."

It may be because the hotel's voltage is not stable, and the lights flickered for a while.

As a successful representative of "fake goods" in the industry's evaluation, Zhu Yilin was dumbfounded.He suddenly discovered that the rift carved between them in seven years was deeper than he thought.

He couldn't talk anymore.

"I'll get a glass of water." Zhu Yilin found a step for himself.

As soon as he got up, Lu Jiachuan belatedly realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly stopped him: "I didn't mean you!"

Zhu Yilin broke away subconsciously, Lu Jiachuan was at a loss: "I really didn't mean to say you, I'm sorry, I didn't mean that—"

He grabbed Zhu Yilin's wrist with all his strength, as if if he let go, Zhu Yilin would slip away and never come back again, he couldn't help but use too much force, and shook Zhu Yilin who was already feverish and dizzy, He was caught off guard and pushed down on the sofa.

Both of them were stunned.

Zhu Yilin was crushed under Lu Jiachuan's body and was hit hard. His eyes went dark and his stomach hurt.

But Lu Jiachuan held him down and refused to get up, pressed his warm lips to his ear, and whispered coquettishly: "Forgive me, brother, don't be angry, okay?"
