Hey! I'm SO sorry I really can't translate (and understand) bed scenes and everything so it might be really awkward to read lmao. I'm leaving pinyin for the stuff like brother, sister etc because it feels really weird to me if I were to write for instance Brother Jiang. Well, enjoy!
-------------------------------------
Rong Guang acted very quickly. In just three days, Chu Yuntian had left Xing Yao to Rong Guang. Rong Guang quickly paid for the contract breach fee and Chu Yuntian was immediately signed.
However, Rong Guang still kept a low profile and didn't open a press conference. They only issued a notice on their official site, nothing more.
These two days, Chu Yuntian continued to be a hot topic of discussion on the Internet. When the news that Chu Yuntian signed with Rong Guang broke out, it undoubtedly felt like a huge bomb, arousing more people's attention.
It'sASmallBallOrNot: He's really unafraid, still dares to come out.
EverydayHappy198: Rong Guang's move is dangerous, don't know if Chu Yuntian can stand back on his feet. But I have to admit that Chu Yuntian's move is good.
I'mAFalsePerson: [1], didn't Xing Yao expect that the retribution would arrive so quickly?
[1] "捧低压高" what
LittleDreamMissesHome: Good people don't live long, bad people do. I must see how long will Chu Yuntian survive.
Ever since Li Qiran made those false statements, Chu Yuntian had been continuously badmouthed by netizens. Now that Chu Yuntian had signed with Rong Guang, even lesser people would take his side. Even random people in the entertainment industry would insinuate that they had been threatened by Chu Yuntian, in order to get some spotlight, making his reputation take a dive.
This was how the show business milieu really was. When you were popular, those you knew and those you didn't would try to worm their way into being friends with you. But when you were in trouble, nobody would step out and defend you.
Only Xiao Xiao stepped out and sent a weibo.
XiaoXiaoV: God knows what you did. You can escape for a while but not for your lifetime.
Li Qiran had been living with Jiang Shuai ever since that day. Although he put all the blame on Chu Yuntian, what he had experienced couldn't be erased and his image had already been destroyed. That's the reason why Jiang Shuai made him rest for a while, in order to wait for the scandal to calm down a bit before coming back.
Li Qiran also found out online that Chu Yuntian signed with Rong Guang.
"Jiang-ge, I saw that Chu Yuntian signed with Rong Guang." When Jiang Shuai came back in the evening, Li Qiran right away told Jiang Shuai about this matter.
"En, Rong Guang is also important so I couldn't do anything about it. Originally, protecting you had already made my brother unhappy so I didn't dare to say anything about it." Jiang Shuai sat on the sofa and held Li Qiran. It was hard to live with his beloved in a single room so when Li Qiran first moved there, the two already had sex.
Li Qiran obediently fell into Jiang Shuai's arms. There was a thread of patience in his eyes. He wasn't gay and he couldn't stand a man's touch. He could let Chu Yuntian touch him because he liked him. However, at the moment, what could he do aside from obeying to Jiang Shuai?
"Will he take revenge on us?" This was Li Qiran's worry all along. Chu Yuntian wasn't the type of letting one go when he had been offended by someone[2].
[2] "楚云天绝对不是那种吃了亏还不反手的人" not sure about it but I think I am right
"Don't worry, how would he take revenge? We still don't know if he'll get back on his feet." Jiang Shuai touched Li Qiran's earlobe [3], to comfort him. Li Qiran sensitively shrunk and immediately, his earlobe[3] turned red.
[3] "耳~垂" I don't know why there's a ~ here, the word itself means earlobe so I'll use this (I still think that it's a sexual reference but idk)
Seeing how Li Qiran turned completely shy, Jiang Shuai couldn't resist anymore. What he liked the most was how Li Qiran was still young and inexperienced. Himself obviously was experienced but because he touched his earlobe, he got flushed with excitement.
The atmosphere between the two gradually became intense. Jiang Shuai began to touch all over Li Qiran's body and soon enough, the two were panting, gasping for breath.
The night was still young.
-------------------------------------
When Chu Yuntian went back to Rong Guang, he saw that the company had already arranged new manager and assistants.
"This is Zhang Haisheng, Zhang-ge is the one who'll be your manager."
Chu Yuntian was stunned. Guan Rui had surprisingly arranged Zhang Haisheng to be his manager. Zhang Haisheng was someone who made three actors become the emperors[4]! And it's been a while since he last managed someone new!
[4] "张海生可是带起来三个影帝影后的人啊" can't do an englishy sentence but it basically means that Zhang Haisheng managed three actors who became really famous
"Hello, I'm Zhang Haisheng, please teach me a lot." This man in his forties wasn't very good looking but his smile compensated it.
He was undoubtedly a veteran manager but he was really respectful and modest. Chu Yuntian thought, fearing that it'd show on Guan Rui's face. However, Zhang Haisheng's behavior and work attitude were very smooth and evasive. He could smile at him like this even if he wasn't in the chairman's office [5].
[5] "明明是老资历的经纪人，却对着他满脸恭谦。楚云天想，恐怕是看在关瑞的面子上的吧。不过张海生做人做事都十分圆滑，即便不是在总裁办公室也能这样对他笑的" I was really confused I really had problems understanding this and I still think that the translation isn't quite right, I'm really sorry. But I think it basically means something like ZHS was very experienced lol
"Zhang-ge please teach me a lot, I'll trouble you in the future." Chu Yuntian answered with the perfect smile.
Seeing that both seemed to get along well, Guan Rui felt as though he was ignored. He felt unhappy for a moment, his love bean should only be looking at him.
"This is what the company has planned for you. Look at it and see if you want to make some modifications." Guan Rui pushed a folder forward and motioned Chu Yuntian to take it himself.
Every company would do a series of plans for each artist. Those plans were also crucial for the growth of each artist. That was why Chu Yuntian promptly picked up the file and looked over it.
However, Chu Yuntian had barely opened the file when he immediately got confused by its content.
"Chairman Guan, didn't you give me the wrong file? Why do I need to take acting classes?" He was a singer, even though his previous company had also made some preparations for him to grow in differents fields.
"Keep reading." Guan Rui motioned him to continue[6]. However, this action done by him wasn't lovely at all.
[6] "关瑞偏了偏头" I'm not sure of what it means but it should be something like this
Chu Yuntian frowned and obediently continued reading.
"I'm shooting a movie as the male lead?" Chu Yuntian was now absolutely surprised. What did Rong Guang mean by that? Did they have money to lose?
"Hm." Guan Rui felt breathless. His love bean didn't look very happy.
"I have never acted before." Letting him directly play the male lead role although he had no experience felt a bit scary and challenging.
"Xiao Tian, can I call you Xiao Tian?" Zhang Haisheng was really satisfied with how Chu Yuntian was down-to-earth. What he disliked the most were people who thought that they were better than they actually were, who didn't know their own limits and wanted to climb higher than heaven. He originally wasn't willing to manage Chu Yuntian but he could only obey Chairman Guan.
"Of course, Zhang-ge what do you think?" Chu Yuntian slightly nodded and modestly asked for Zhang Haisheng's opinion. Guan Rui might be too young to really understand this field but Zhang Haisheng was a veteran in this industry so he must have an opinion about it.
"We watched a lot of your previous gigs. Although you are really talented in singing, the best singers are also acting. That's the reason why we also checked your advertisements, music videos, guest apperances etc. Didn't directors from your previous work tell you that you have some skills?" Measuring someone's value of course wasn't only based on what he had revealed but also on what was hidden.
Of course Zhang Haisheng wouldn't tell him that one of the reasons was because Chairman Guan wanted him to act.
Chu Yuntian nodded. Indeed, whenever he shooted advertisements and music videos, it had always been done in only one take. Directors told him he had a strong aura and that he could probably act later on.
"But I haven't done anything other than that so isn't immediately playing a lead role risky?" Chu Yuntian frowned. Everything would go on better only if he had a great start.
"Xiao Tian, you have to believe in Rong Guang and in me. I brought three emperors up, my eyes are still good. I can see whether you can act or not." When Zhang Haisheng said this, he put on his rare smile and looked very serious.
Chu Yuntian felt like he had a little headache. He needed some KFC to pull himself together.
"If you act well, I'll help you get a KFC endorsement."
Guan Rui's light as a feather sentence hit Chu Yuntian's vulnerable spot. Was Guan Rui actually a roundworm inside his stomach[7]?
[7] "其实关瑞是他肚子里的蛔虫吧" I'm not sure of this one but I think it means something like was Guan Rui inside his stomach. really not sure though
Chu Yuntian was still perplexed. Why did they insist so much on making him act, going as far as promising a KFC endorsement? In fact he didn't really like KFC! Moreover, was he only linked to KFC in Guan Rui's heart?
Chu Yuntian took a deep breath and shooted his usual smile, "Actually, I have always been interested in acting but since I don't have any experience, it kind of scares me. Chairman Guan, even if there's no endorsement, I'll still do my best. And since everyone's believing in me, I'll absolutely do my best."
Guan Rui's lip corners went up and led to a shallow smile. Chu Yuntian only discovered now that actually, Chairman Guan had dimples!
"Okay, so listen to Zhang-ge well and first, train well. After a while, they'll give you a script. About KFC's endorsement, the company will work hard on getting it. For the previous matters, the company's public relations department is also working on it so don't worry about it anymore."
Chu Yuntian was really certain now. Guan Rui wasn't as ruthless as the legend said, he could also console people!
"If you have more questions, just ask Zhang-ge." Guan Rui's sentence was meant to drive people away from his office.
Chu Yuntian and Zhang Haisheng quickly left and he was finally alone in his office. His lips slowly started to go up, finally breaking into a big smile then laughed[8].
[8] "关瑞的唇角越扯越大，最后笑着咧开了嘴" not sure
"Zhang-ge, did you guys seriously decide on making me act?" Chu Yuntian said while leaving the company. He seriously waited for Zhang Haisheng's answer.
"Of course it was decided seriously. Rong Guang wouldn't spend money carelessly, don't worry. " Zhang Haisheng patted Chu Yuntian's shoulders in order to make him feel at ease.
Chu Yuntian only nodded.
"Zhang-ge, the contract stated that the artist was arranged a house. Can I move in? I want to sell the house I lived in before. He had to admit that Rong Guang treated his artists better than Xing Yao. Artists who were Rank A and higher were given a single appartment. The house where he currently lived was specially bought by him for Li Qiran and himself. If he continued living in it, he'd always feel annoyed, moreover, he was currently short on money.
"Yes, the apartment is in a district not very far from the company. I'll take you see it. There's a bunch of other artists living there, and the environment is quite good."
Chu Yuntian was already satisfied with having somewhere where to live. In the past two years, he had made quite a lot of money but all disappeared in paying back the commercials' penalty fee so now, buying a house in A city was quite impossible[9]. He could say that he was now completely poor.
[9] "相形见绌" it's an idiom saying "pale in comparison" but I think that's what it means here but not sure

So... I'm sorry for massacring this (small) bed scene but I don't know what should I do, like should I be explicit or should I just translate what the author wrote word by word? First time translating so I don't know what's the best option.
