Free Web NovelChapter 634: Chapter 5: Kneeling After Learning Chi Yu’s Identity
Gu Yuan’s mind was filled with thoughts about the future.
Chi Yu just didn’t know that Gu Yuan was thinking about all this. If he did, he would definitely drop everything and wholeheartedly help Gu Yuan achieve these ’big things’.
...
Back in Sui City.
That day, Chi Yu took a trip to Yingcan Century.
When Cheng Song heard Chi Yu was coming to the company, he acted as if nothing had happened, not only unembarrassed but also swaggering into the company to prepare for a new audition.
Such audacity?
Xiao Kai had a stern face: "He’s been silent for all these days, and he really came to the company?"
Cheng Song touched his chin: "I saw with my own eyes that he came to the company, could it be fake? It’s true. Yi Shu’s delighted look made it seem as if something good had happened."
"What good could possibly happen? The man is practically finished. Under such public backlash, he can’t possibly make a comeback, can he?" Not completely shelving Chi Yu because of this incident was a major thorn in Xiao Kai’s side.
Every time he thought about this, it was a prick in his heart.
Cheng Song couldn’t figure out the exact situation: "Just focus on reading the ’Deep Space’ novel. We’ve fought for this role for so long, and they said they were satisfied with the audition results. We can only relax once the contract is finalized, then the drama will be securely ours."
’Deep Space’ is an adaptation of a novel. The rights were acquired by Yingcan a year ago. Because the novel’s quality and all other aspects were excellent, it wasn’t handed off to other companies but produced by Yingcan itself.
All productions by Yingcan are high-quality, big productions, broadcasted on one of those popular platforms.
If Chi Yu hadn’t gotten himself into this mess, without a doubt, this drama would have been his.
But now Chi Yu was in trouble!
Forget about getting any roles outside.
Even within the company, he wouldn’t be allowed to act in any drama, lest he be harshly criticized.
Cheng Song had to work really hard to secure the opportunity for Xiao Kai. It’s unpleasant to say he was picking up Chi Yu’s leftovers; Chi Yu simply didn’t deserve it!
Xiao Kai complained: "Brother Song, I’ve already read through the novel once. When will the script come down? We used to get it in advance."
"I’ll ask around. This production is being managed very strictly, unlike the others. The script won’t be released until the contract is signed," Cheng Song said as he was about to leave the office: "You stay here and wait, I’ll go look around and see what Chi Yu is up to."
Once Cheng Song left.
Xiao Kai took out his phone and opened a mobile game developed by Tencent.
A voice from the speaker greets him with a "Timi," and after entering the game, he assembled his usual gaming team, completely relaxed once he started chatting over the mic.
"Damn! I’m finally going to soar."
"The damn blockade was finally kicked away by me, the wide open road is all mine."
A teammate’s teasing voice came through the audio: "Bro, you seem to be in a good mood lately?"
"Of course, finally holding my head high isn’t a good thing?" Xiao Kai’s tone was full of amusement.
After gaming together for so long, the teammates had become like brothers, but never meeting face-to-face, they didn’t know who each other was. Initially, the team didn’t know Xiao Kai was an actor. But after playing many games together, Xiao Kai revealed his identity, though no one believed him until he asked them for their Weibo and mentioned them on it the next day to prove it.
Because of this, Xiao Kai gained a little favor from his followers.
He even earned himself the nickname of an internet-addicted kid. A certain artist even illustrated some images of him, placing his face on the male leads from various novels, gaining some popularity. fгeewebnovёl.com
However, when that artist later drew Chi Yu, the popularity from those illustrations quickly vanished, as those fans switched to Chi Yu’s camp, much to Xiao Kai’s annoyance.
But now things were finally better.
That artist was no longer drawing Chi Yu and had returned to illustrating him, with his popularity slowly bouncing back. fгeewebnovёl.com
What could be happier than that?
A teammate casually asked about Xiao Kai’s entertainment industry affairs, and in his good mood, Xiao Kai couldn’t keep his mouth shut, words spilling out: "That Chi Yu, huh? He’s finally finished, I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time."
"Chi Yu? The one recently rumored to be kept by a rich lady?"
"Who else could it be? That guy was a major hurdle in my life, and I’ve finally overcome it. Damn, I’m so excited I might not be able to sleep tonight."
"Haha, I didn’t know you and Chi Yu were rivals," a teammate joked.
