The strategy was almost successful!

Liu Shuo's family and Liao Ruming's family are family friends, so in the setting of this small world, Liao Ruming has known Liu Shuo since he was very young, and the two have always been friends.

After graduating from university, Liu Shuo founded Yuanda Brokerage.

Based on their long-standing friendship, Liao Ruming, who was still in college at the time, heard about this and supported his good brother.

After these years of development, Yuanda Brokerage has also broken out his own world in the entertainment industry by relying on spending money and connections with his elders.

Of course, it was mainly due to Ji Zhihuai, a recognized song god in the entertainment industry.

Small companies and big stars will more or less bring about some controversy.There are always some rumors in the outside world, either that Ji Zhihuai intends to terminate the contract with Yuanda Brokers, or that Yuanda Brokers treats Ji Zhihuai harshly.

However, Ji Zhihuai has never commented on his brokerage company to the outside world.On the one hand, he has a cold temperament, on the other hand, Liao Ruming complacently believes that there is still part of the reason for him.

...Although he was talking about the past.

Now he unilaterally broke up with Ji Zhihuai, no one knows what Ji Zhihuai's plans are.

Apart from Ji Zhihuai, Yuanda Brokerage also has some work in film and television, variety shows, etc., but it is still in its infancy.

Liu Shuo's office is on the top floor of the company.

Liao Ruming knocked on the door and walked into Liu Shuo's office, greeted him casually, and asked, "What do you want from me?"

Liu Shuo is a man in his late thirties who is slightly fat and bald.He has worked hard for the development of Yuanda Brokerage, and has successfully made great efforts for his small belly and receding hairline.

He smiled at Liao Ruming, and then cared about Liao Ruming's emotional state: "So you really broke up with Ji Zhihuai?"

"...What are you gossiping about?" Liao Ruming was speechless, "Besides, I have never been with him before."

Liu Shuo showed some subtle emotions, probably between "my friend is really miserable" and "a little excited after eating melon".

He asked: "You have all lived together for more than two years, is this still called not being together?"

Liao Ruming sneered.

Liu Shuo looked at him for a while, and then said: "Look, I said you have to reveal your true nature in front of Ji Zhihuai. What's the point of you pretending to be like that in front of him?"

Liao Ruming stopped laughing. He frowned and stared at Liu Shuo for a while, then said, "Are you my good buddy?"

Only then did Liu Shuo say: "Hey, good buddy, don't hang yourself on a tree with a crooked neck. Look at us, the God of Songs, do you seem to have the temperament to fall in love?"

"Stop talking about it." Liao Ruming didn't want to continue discussing this matter with Liu Shuo, "What do you want from me?"

Liu Shuo is a careerist with a wife and son.He didn't quite understand what the problem was between Liao Ruming and Ji Zhihuai... In fact, Liao Ruming himself didn't quite understand either.He always felt that Ji Zhihuai was outside his world.

... Or maybe he never entered Ji Zhihuai's world.

Liao Ruming was distracted for a moment, remembering the first time he saw Ji Zhihuai.That was already three years ago, he just came to this small world, full of ambition, he wanted to get rid of this man as soon as possible and leave the game.

...and then it took three years.

Three years ago, he met Ji Zhihuai as a manager.

When he saw Ji Zhihuai, he swore to 017 that this man looked innocent at first glance, the kind who was cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and he was definitely right to deal with this kind of person with a straight ball.

So Liao Ruming never concealed his liking and love for Ji Zhihuai.He has always been very frank, and Ji Zhihuai... At least for a certain moment, he seemed to be really moved by him.

Liao Ruming can confirm this.

but……

That damn, last 10% progress.

Liao Ruming didn't know what went wrong.Could it be that they weren't close enough?

However, Ji Zhihuai is such a cold and indifferent person, it seems impossible to pursue that kind of physical pleasure.They also discussed this matter once, and after Ji Zhihuai was silent for a long time, he said that he prefers spiritual harmony.

Well then, minds—so their minds are still missing that 10%? ?

For obsessive-compulsive disorder like Liao Ruming, this 10% has almost become a thorn in his side.If it is not resolved, he will not be able to face Ji Zhihuai peacefully.

However, half a year has passed, and now he plans to let himself and Ji Zhihuai go.

If you continue to entangle, you may hurt others and yourself.

Thinking about it, Liao Ruming rubbed his eyes lazily.

Liu Shuo complained about him, "You rubbed your eyes again, are you relying on Ji Zhihuai's absence?"

If Ji Zhihuai was here, he would have walked over silently and pulled Liao Ruming's hand away.He seemed to be very persistent in this matter, resolutely not letting Liao Ruming rub his eyes.

Maybe it was because Ji Zhihuai valued Liao Ruming's health more?

Liao Ruming laughed, and said, "From then on, Ji Zhihuai can no longer control me."

Liu Shuo looked at him for a while, wanting to say something, but in the end he let his young friend go.

Liu Shuo thought very sadly, he is Liu Shuo, 29 years old.Liao Ruming, 26 years old.Ji Zhihuai, 28 years old.There is obviously not much difference in age between the three of them, but...

Lao Liu mournfully touched his belly and hairline.Then, he put down his hand very self-consciously.

After that, he thought smugly, then he has a wife and children and lives a happy life, and then look at Liao Ruming and Ji Zhihuai... Tsk tsk tsk, tsk tsk tsk.

Liu Shuo shook his head silently, and then got down to business: "There's a variety show, and I've invited you."

"Variety show?" Liao Ruming was taken aback for a moment, and he said incredulously, "Invite me??"

Liu Shuo nodded: "It happens that you are broken in love now, why don't you go and have a look? It's to experience life in a small mountain village."

"I'm not broken in love." Liao Ruming retorted first, and then said, "Let's take a look at the plan."

Liu Shuo took out a document from the drawer and handed it to Liao Ruming.Afterwards, he stood up, walked to the window, and turned his back to Liao Ruming.

Liao Ruming flipped through it quietly for a second, then threw the document on the desk with a bang, and got angry: "Old Liu! You are still my brother! You actually want me to go to variety shows with Ji Zhihuai , why are you at ease!"

Liu Shuo coughed and muttered softly, "The heart to make money."

Liao Ruming took a deep breath.

Liu Shuo quickly said, "You know that the outside world has been speculating about your relationship with Ji Zhihuai."

Liao Ruming wanted to say something, but paused again.

"So taking advantage of this show, you can clarify to the audience." Liu Shuo said, "Prove that you and Ji Zhihuai really have nothing to do with each other."

Liao Ruming stared at him for a while, then said, "Tell the truth."

Liu Shuo let out a long sigh: "The artistes who were supposed to go to this show are arguing to terminate their contracts recently."

Yuanda Brokers owns shares of Liao Ruming, so he also got serious: "Who?"

"... Qu Wanwan."

"The actress who wanted to have an affair with Ji Zhihuai but was rejected by me?"

"...Yes." Liu Shuo smiled dryly, "You still remember."

Liao Ruming rubbed his chin, thinking, he was actually very grateful to Qu Wanwan, if it wasn't for her, his progress of the strategy would not have risen from 88% to 90%... It's a pity that his progress of the strategy stagnated after that.

Liu Shuo was still explaining: "Qu Wanwan had always held grudges because of that incident before, but this time it was probably because she heard that Ji Zhihuai was going to be on this show, and she still wanted to stir up scandals, so she asked for this resource.

"... She acted in an idol drama before, and the response was good. Another company came to recruit people, and gave a star variety show resource, and she was about to leave.

"So... the variety show I have in hand, isn't it embarrassing? The filming will start in a week, what can I do... So I thought of you."

The variety show in Liu Shuo's hands is called "One Day in an Ordinary Mountain Village". It is a variety show produced by Yuanda Brokers.However, Yuanda Brokers still had some hope in this, so they invited Ji Zhihuai to come to shoot.

But apart from Ji Zhihuai, no other well-known artists are willing to participate.Who wants to come to this seemingly hopeless variety show?

However, other artists in Yuanda Company could not temporarily arrange a schedule, so Liu Shuo had to find Liao Ruming.

Thinking of this, Liao Ruming suddenly asked sharply: "So you said earlier that there was a variety show that invited me—meaning you invited me?"

"Yeah yeah, brother, save face." Liu Shuo smiled awkwardly, "I wanted to tell you today, but I didn't expect you to resign..."

The well-behaved Ji Zhihuai was on the show with his agent, so it's okay to hype up the kindness of knowing you, right?It's okay to poke and poke a CP to sprinkle sugar, right?This is really candy!

It turned out to be fine now...

Old Liu could only use his brain, thinking, is it better to hype Ji Zhihuai's ungratefulness, or hype the old lover's reunion?

Liao Ruming didn't know how his "good brother" planned to trick him.He was silent for a while, then said, "Let me think about it."

Participating in this variety show means that he has to get in touch with Ji Zhihuai again.Liao Ruming resisted a little, but this seemed to be the last chance to investigate the 10% truth.

He still finds it an eyesore.

Although Liao Ruming has given up the main task, he can still get the change of admiration value from 017.

...it's still the 90% that's an eyesore, of course.

So Liao Ruming is still determined to figure it out.He had indeed given up on the main mission, but at least he could still figure out the truth.

Perhaps this variety show is the opportunity.

Moreover, when Ji Zhihuai took the initiative to kiss him in the lounge just now, Liao Ruming felt very delicate emotions.He thought, Ji Zhihuai didn't seem to be unmoved?

Liao Ruming is more or less a little proud.

He pondered for a moment, put away the variety show planning proposal, and then talked about another topic to Liu Shuo.

"By the way, I remember that you have a house in Xicheng District?" Liao Ruming asked, "You showed it off to me, but you haven't lived in it yet after it's been renovated?"

"Yeah." Liu Shuo said strangely, "I originally wanted to live in a single apartment, but after I got married to my wife, I naturally went to live in a wedding apartment. Why?"

"Let me live for two days. I have to move out from Ji Zhihuai, and then slowly find a house."

Liu Shuo understood, and said briskly: "No problem. The password is 0177. You can just enter your fingerprint in later, and then change the password. I will send you the specific address later. Someone will clean the house regularly, so don't worry. !"

"Thank you brother." Liao Ruming said to him, "Tomorrow I will reply you about the variety show."

Afterwards, Liao Ruming stopped disturbing his work, left his office, went straight to look at the house that Liu Shuo had lent him, and nodded with satisfaction.

Liao Ruming does not have his own house in this city.Before moving to live with Ji Zhihuai, he had been living in a high-end hotel.Afterwards, I got used to Ji Zhihuai's residence, and it passed like this for two years.

Because of Ji Zhihuai's occupational problems, they didn't really live in that house for too long.Most of the time they are on the go and live in hotels.

But now, since Liao Ruming has resigned, he plans to move out from Ji Zhihuai's place and let himself be free for a while.Just to study the side missions that 017 mentioned.

Of course, before that, he had to move.

The next afternoon, he thought that Ji Zhihuai should be practicing songs in the company and preparing for the concert two months later, so he went to Ji Zhihuai's house, ready to see how many things he would take away.

He thought that Ji Zhihuai was not at home, so he swiped his fingerprints to enter the door, but after entering, he found that Ji Zhihuai was sitting on the sofa in a daze.

The eyes of the two met.Liao Ruming immediately regretted it.

Why didn't he inquire about Ji Zhihuai's whereabouts before he came!
