I'm updating so fast that I don't know what to say now lmao. There might be mistakes in the netizens' usernames but also in the comments lol, as I said I don't do well (and MTL neither) with their comments. Anyway enjoy!
-------------------------------------
Two years ago, Guan Rui took over Rong Guang Entertainment. He brought it to a higher level, so much that even the former biggest entertainment Xing Yao had to somehow avoid them.
However Guan Rui, although he was deeply rooted in the entertainment industry which was a place full of rotten apples, he always lived honestly. He never accepted anyone's friendliness and was called Cold Boss by everyone in the show business milieu.
"Yes, Xing Yao had a meeting this morning. We suppose that they'll announce the news this afternoon. And also, they should be doing a press conference to clear Li Qiran's name in the next two days." The secretary stood perfectly straight. She never thought that the words she casually said would actually trigger the chairman's interest.
Guan Rui had a rare small smile, but since it wasn't big, the secretary didn't notice it.
"Tell me when Xing Yao makes their statement."
"Okay boss. But isn't Xing Yao stupid? Not only they are not clearing Chu Yuntian's name but also, they are giving up on him to protect Li Qiran? Li Qiran lacks so much compared to Chu Yuntian!" The secretary unconsciously complained, being a Chu Yuntian fan. Even though the cc group was good, it was obvious that Chu Yuntian was better and had much more potential.
Although she had already met high-quality men, it was really hard to find such a young guy, giving off teen idol vibes like Chu Yuntian. Moreover, since she had already met quite a few gays in the entertainment industry, when the news broke out, she didn't feel that it was something big nor disgusting. She would like him just as she did before the news came out.
By the time the secretary had finished mumbling, Guan Rui couldn't suppress his smile anymore. This time, the secretary caught him red-handed and her eyes opened wide at this sight. She almost rubbed her eyes to make sure that it was not an illusion.
"You can leave." Guan Rui said as his fist went next to his lip, looking somewhat embarrassed.
T/N: SO CUUUUUUUUUUUUTE I'M SCREAMING
The secretary left the room, head full of questions. Why was the boss laughing? Was it because of the "isn't Xing Yao stupid?"? Or was everything that happened just my illusion?
Just as the secretary had predicted, Xing Yao issued their statement on their official website the same day. The statement claimed that Li Qiran was actually forced into the relationship by Chu Yuntian and that Chu Yuntian will be freezed out [1]. cc will also be disbanded. In addition, Xing Yao will hold a press conference to answer each question one by one.
[1] "雪藏" " When a company "freezes out" a singer or actor, the company will stop casting him or her in movies, or releasing their albums, or arranging commercial events for them. While their contracts have not expired, the singer or actor cannot get work from another company." (credit szdaily.com)
The statement could clearly be seen as merciless. When Chu Yuntian saw it, he still found it hard to believe. How could he be freezed out? How much did Jiang Shuai and Li Qiran hate him? He wasn't only a singer but also a songwriter. Most of the songs that were playing everywhere in the city were written by him. Even if his current situation was far from good, he could always be put behind the scenes.
Xing Yao's actions were completely merciless, do they want him to die?
As soon as the statement was issued, it caused a big discussion among the netizens.
ConfusedAngel: Wtf? Was forced? Li Qiran is a victim? I don't understand, I'll wait for tomorrow's press conference.
IAmTheEmperorOfTruth: It means that Li Qiran was forced in a gay relationship by Chu Yuntian, everything that happened is because of Chu Yuntian. Chu Yuntian is over. To summarize, the entertainment industry is really dark.
HeHeHeHe: Under those circumstances, I'll tell a poem. Husband and wife are the same as forest birds. When a great catastrophe is imminent, both will fly their own way [2]
[2] "此情此景，在下赋诗一首，夫妻本是同林鸟，大难临头各自飞" not sure about this
FuckYouI'mTheMostHandsome: It goes without saying that Chu Yuntian is excellent compared to Li Qiran! Li Qiran was simply stuck behind! Staying behind has a price to pay for, that's the reason why now it's compensation time[3]!
[3] "沾光自然要付出代价的，所以要肉偿咯" oups what?
LovingTianRan: I don't believe it! These two obviously love each other! I'm sure the company wants to them to break up! Anyway I don't believe it! Gege-men, I'll continue to support you no matter what happens!
As he looked through the comments, Guan Rui felt like bursting with anger. He immediately logged into his Weibo and answered the comments he didn't like.
LovingYuntianIsReallyTheBest replied to ConfusedAngel: Hehehehe, how is Li Qiran the victim? No need to wait for the press conference, people with brain already know.
LovingYuntianIsReallyTheBest replied to IAmTheEmperorOfTruth: It's rare to see someone with a brain but you didn't guess that it was Li Qiran who pulled the strings behind the scenes!
LovingYuntianIsReallyTheBest replied to HeHeHeHe: Li Qiran is a rotten wife [4].
[4] "李其然算什么破老婆？" can't translate it well
LovingYuntianIsReallyTheBest replied to FuckYouI'mTheMostHandsome: At first, you said something right then afterwards, you were gravely mistaken! Does Li Qiran have money?
LovingYuntianIsReallyTheBest replied to LovingTianRan: Little student, did you finish your homeworks?
It was only when he replied to all the comments that Guan Rui felt half better.
As Chu Yuntian's fan, Guan Rui can't bear to see anyone slandering his idol.
Guan Rui sat for a moment then called his secretary.
"Help me contact Chu Yuntian."
"???" The secretary indicated that the wind was too big so she didn't understand.
"Help me contact Chu Yuntian." Guan Rui repeated expressionless.
"What? Okay okay, I'll go contact him right now."
After a moment, Chu Yuntian's private number was sent to Guan Rui.
Guan Rui cleared his throat and dialed Chu Yuntian's number.
"Hello, who are you?" The nice male voice said, making Guan Rui shudder from head to toe. Even though he was Chu Yuntian's fan, he didn't particularly appreciate his songs. However he cannot say that Chu Yuntian's voice wasn't pleasant to hear.
"Hello, are you Chu Yuntian?" Guan Rui said while slightly loosening his tight throat.
"Yes I am, may I ask who this is?"
"I am Rong Guang's Guan Rui, I'm very sorry to disturb you at this time."
Chu Yuntian felt a little bit strange, could it be that he answered a fake call? Why would Rong Guang's boss contact him?
"I am Guan Rui himself." Guan Rui said, as if he had guessed what Chu Yuntian was thinking.
Well, let's act as if he was really Guan Rui himself. He can obtain my mobile number and can also say who he is [5]. It's really probable that he's really Guan Rui right?
[5] "好吧，就当他是关瑞本人吧，能弄到自己的电话，还能道出他身份的" not sure
"May I ask if you have some business with me?"
"Rong Guang heard about your current situation and wants to sign you. We'll take care of the contract breach fees. Of course, I'm only informing you in advance. You can carefully think about it and when the moment comes, we'll pick a day to discuss it more thoroughly."
Chu Yuntian really felt like he had received a fake call. They'll pay the penalty fees? He signed an A contract with Xing Yao and although it wasn't as good as a S contract, the penalty fees could scare more than one person away. The person on the phone who claimed to be Guan Rui said that he would pay the penalty fees.
"Hello? I would like to ask why would Chairman Guan personally call me? And why would you want to sign me? Because of my current situation, I don't even dare to go out. Even if I sign the contract, wouldn't I just be home-reared?" Chu Yuntian said, suddenly laughing.
"Of course it's because you're worth it. Rong Guang will think of a way, you only need to think about whether you want to sign with Rong Guang or not. I'll call you again the day after tomorrow and we'll decide on a day to meet for more details."
Guan Rui didn't wait for Chu Yuntian's answer and directly hung up.
Chu Yuntian held his phone without a word but the smile on his face was getting bigger. This person said that he was worth the price. Because of this sentence, Chu Yuntian just wanted to believe that this person was really Guan Rui.
-------------------------------------
The next day, in the afternoon, the press conference was held on schedule. But because there were so many people interested in it, it was broadcast live on the Internet.
When Li Qiran walked on stage, the reporters took pictures without resting in a state of uproar. The flash and the shutters were incessant[6]. The comments on the live broadcast were also incessant and almost made the platform crash.
[6] "当李其然走上台的时候，台下记者一阵哄乱，闪光灯跟快门声没有半会停歇"
"Are both members of cc gay?" The first reporter stood up and bluntly said.
Li Qiran's eyes were red and swollen. He forced himself to smile and said "I'm not."
These simple three words easily cleared his name. In front of his laptop, Chu Yuntian felt a thud in his heart.
"What about Chu Yuntian? Is he or not?" the reporter asked right after.
"I didn't hear him say that he had girlfriends."
"On Xing Yao's statement, it was said that you were a victim and you had been forced by Chu Yuntian in the relationship. May I ask you what does that mean?" The first reporter sat down while another one stood up and asked.
"Everyone knows that in cc, Chu Yuntian's popularity is relatively high and I'm like the person who is trailing behind. That's the reason why when he forced me to and threatened me by saying that he'll take away everything I had, I naturally couldn't resist. I want to thank the fan who hacked into the computer, without you, I'd still be confined."
T/N: Li Qiran you ungrateful brat .
Li Qiran said it emotionally, while looking straight at the camera lens. In front of his laptop, Chu Yuntian broke into a nervous laughter.
"Why didn't Chu Yuntian come today?"
"Xing Yao decided to freeze out Chu Yuntian." Jiang Shuai, who sat on the side, explained. Since he had been freezed out, he didn't need and couldn't come.
With Xing Yao's reputation[7], the reporters wouldn't ask too many questions about their privacy and the press confererence was soon over. However, the online comments once again changed.
[7] "看在星耀的面子上" not sure
QiQiRanRan: Watched the press conference, I feel so sorry for Li Qiran
I'mOnlyAPasserby: Hey, fortunately, the pictures were exposed. Otherwise, for how long would Li Qiran still be threatened by Chu Yuntian.
XiaoYuYuIsReallyCute: Li Qiran didn't look like he was acting, he looked very sincere. The right part of his face was shaking, he looked like he was trying to suppress his emotions.
GrayAirplaneIsFlyingInTheSky: If it really is like this, isn't Chu Yuntian a scum? Went as far as forcing his own team member!
ChuYuntianIsMyHusband: I feel like I'll stop loving him, this is the last time I'm using this username! Didn't expect that you'd be so disgusting! Chu Yuntian, I misjudged you!
TianRanTianRanSimplyTianRan: My heart is broken, was it the truth? Then what about Chu Yuntian? Li Qiran-gege you really don't like him? I don't believe it!
When Xiao Xiao called, Chu Yuntian was still sitting motionless on the sofa.
"Xiao-jie."
"Are you okay?" Xiao Xiao asked, concerned. In her heart, Chu Yuntian was like her little brother whom she helped grow up. She was willing to treat him sincerely.
"It's not too bad, simply, I don't know what I'll do in the future." Chu Yuntian weakly answered.
"Don't mind it, you are still young. I didn't expect the two of them to be so cruel and unscrupulous! But it also made you realize how these two truly are! Don't worry, jie is going to help you find a way."
